1 AN ACT to revise the law by combining multiple enactments
2and making technical corrections.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 1. Nature of this Act.
6 (a) This Act may be cited as the First 2019 General
7Revisory Act.
8 (b) This Act is not intended to make any substantive change
9in the law. It reconciles conflicts that have arisen from
10multiple amendments and enactments and makes technical
11corrections and revisions in the law.
12 This Act revises and, where appropriate, renumbers certain
13Sections that have been added or amended by more than one
14Public Act. In certain cases in which a repealed Act or Section
15has been replaced with a successor law, this Act may
16incorporate amendments to the repealed Act or Section into the
17successor law. This Act also corrects errors, revises
18cross-references, and deletes obsolete text.
19 (c) In this Act, the reference at the end of each amended
20Section indicates the sources in the Session Laws of Illinois
21that were used in the preparation of the text of that Section.
22The text of the Section included in this Act is intended to
23include the different versions of the Section found in the
24Public Acts included in the list of sources, but may not

2Acts not included in the list of sources. The list of sources
3is not a part of the text of the Section.
4 (d) Public Acts 100-534 through 100-1177 were considered in
5the preparation of the combining revisories included in this

6 Section 15. The Freedom of Information Act is amended by
7changing Sections 3 and 7.5 as follows:
8 (5 ILCS 140/3) (from Ch. 116, par. 203)
9 Sec. 3. (a) Each public body shall make available to any
10person for inspection or copying all public records, except as
11otherwise provided in Sections 7 and 8.5 of this Act.
12Notwithstanding any other law, a public body may not grant to
13any person or entity, whether by contract, license, or
14otherwise, the exclusive right to access and disseminate any
15public record as defined in this Act.
16 (b) Subject to the fee provisions of Section 6 of this Act,
17each public body shall promptly provide, to any person who
18submits a request, a copy of any public record required to be
19disclosed by subsection (a) of this Section and shall certify
20such copy if so requested.
21 (c) Requests for inspection or copies shall be made in
22writing and directed to the public body. Written requests may
23be submitted to a public body via personal delivery, mail,
24telefax, or other means available to the public body. A public

HB3249 Enrolled- 15 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1body may honor oral requests for inspection or copying. A
2public body may not require that a request be submitted on a
3standard form or require the requester to specify the purpose
4for a request, except to determine whether the records are
5requested for a commercial purpose or whether to grant a
6request for a fee waiver. All requests for inspection and
7copying received by a public body shall immediately be
8forwarded to its Freedom of Information officer or designee.
9 (d) Each public body shall, promptly, either comply with or
10deny a request for public records within 5 business days after
11its receipt of the request, unless the time for response is
12properly extended under subsection (e) of this Section. Denial
13shall be in writing as provided in Section 9 of this Act.
14Failure to comply with a written request, extend the time for
15response, or deny a request within 5 business days after its
16receipt shall be considered a denial of the request. A public
17body that fails to respond to a request within the requisite
18periods in this Section but thereafter provides the requester
19with copies of the requested public records may not impose a
20fee for such copies. A public body that fails to respond to a
21request received may not treat the request as unduly burdensome
22under subsection (g).
23 (e) The time for response under this Section may be
24extended by the public body for not more than 5 business days
25from the original due date for any of the following reasons:
26 (i) the requested records are stored in whole or in

HB3249 Enrolled- 16 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 part at other locations than the office having charge of
2 the requested records;
3 (ii) the request requires the collection of a
4 substantial number of specified records;
5 (iii) the request is couched in categorical terms and
6 requires an extensive search for the records responsive to
7 it;
8 (iv) the requested records have not been located in the
9 course of routine search and additional efforts are being
10 made to locate them;
11 (v) the requested records require examination and
12 evaluation by personnel having the necessary competence
13 and discretion to determine if they are exempt from
14 disclosure under Section 7 of this Act or should be
15 revealed only with appropriate deletions;
16 (vi) the request for records cannot be complied with by
17 the public body within the time limits prescribed by
18 subsection (d) paragraph (c) of this Section without unduly
19 burdening or interfering with the operations of the public
20 body;
21 (vii) there is a need for consultation, which shall be
22 conducted with all practicable speed, with another public
23 body or among 2 two or more components of a public body
24 having a substantial interest in the determination or in
25 the subject matter of the request.
26 The person making a request and the public body may agree

HB3249 Enrolled- 17 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1in writing to extend the time for compliance for a period to be
2determined by the parties. If the requester and the public body
3agree to extend the period for compliance, a failure by the
4public body to comply with any previous deadlines shall not be
5treated as a denial of the request for the records.
6 (f) When additional time is required for any of the above
7reasons, the public body shall, within 5 business days after
8receipt of the request, notify the person making the request of
9the reasons for the extension and the date by which the
10response will be forthcoming. Failure to respond within the
11time permitted for extension shall be considered a denial of
12the request. A public body that fails to respond to a request
13within the time permitted for extension but thereafter provides
14the requester with copies of the requested public records may
15not impose a fee for those copies. A public body that requests
16an extension and subsequently fails to respond to the request
17may not treat the request as unduly burdensome under subsection
18(g).
19 (g) Requests calling for all records falling within a
20category shall be complied with unless compliance with the
21request would be unduly burdensome for the complying public
22body and there is no way to narrow the request and the burden
23on the public body outweighs the public interest in the
24information. Before invoking this exemption, the public body
25shall extend to the person making the request an opportunity to
26confer with it in an attempt to reduce the request to

HB3249 Enrolled- 18 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1manageable proportions. If any public body responds to a
2categorical request by stating that compliance would unduly
3burden its operation and the conditions described above are
4met, it shall do so in writing, specifying the reasons why it
5would be unduly burdensome and the extent to which compliance
6will so burden the operations of the public body. Such a
7response shall be treated as a denial of the request for
8information.
9 Repeated requests from the same person for the same records
10that are unchanged or identical to records previously provided
11or properly denied under this Act shall be deemed unduly
12burdensome under this provision.
13 (h) Each public body may promulgate rules and regulations
14in conformity with the provisions of this Section pertaining to
15the availability of records and procedures to be followed,
16including:
17 (i) the times and places where such records will be
18 made available, and
19 (ii) the persons from whom such records may be
20 obtained.
21 (i) The time periods for compliance or denial of a request
22to inspect or copy records set out in this Section shall not
23apply to requests for records made for a commercial purpose,
24requests by a recurrent requester, or voluminous requests. Such
25requests shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1,
263.2, and 3.6 of this Act, as applicable.

6 (10 ILCS 5/24A-10) (from Ch. 46, par. 24A-10)
7 Sec. 24A-10. (1) In an election jurisdiction which has
8adopted an electronic voting system, the election official in
9charge of the election shall select one of the 3 following
10procedures for receiving, counting, tallying, and return of the
11ballots:
12 (a) Two ballot boxes shall be provided for each polling
13place. The first ballot box is for the depositing of votes cast
14on the electronic voting system; and the second ballot box is
15for all votes cast on paper ballots, including any paper
16ballots required to be voted other than on the electronic
17voting system. Ballots deposited in the second ballot box shall
18be counted, tallied, and returned as is elsewhere provided in
19this Code "The Election Code," as amended, for the counting and
20handling of paper ballots. Immediately after the closing of the
21polls, the judges of election shall make out a slip indicating
22the number of persons who voted in the precinct at the
23election. Such slip shall be signed by all the judges of
24election and shall be inserted by them in the first ballot box.
25The judges of election shall thereupon immediately lock each

HB3249 Enrolled- 65 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1ballot box; provided, that if such box is not of a type which
2may be securely locked, such box shall be sealed with filament
3tape provided for such purpose which shall be wrapped around
4the box lengthwise and crosswise, at least twice each way, and
5in such manner that the seal completely covers the slot in the
6ballot box, and each of the judges shall sign such seal.
7Thereupon two of the judges of election, of different political
8parties, shall forthwith and by the most direct route transport
9both ballot boxes to the counting location designated by the
10county clerk or board of election commissioners.
11 Before the ballots of a precinct are fed to the electronic
12tabulating equipment, the first ballot box shall be opened at
13the central counting station by the two precinct transport
14judges. Upon opening a ballot box, such team shall first count
15the number of ballots in the box. If 2 or more are folded
16together so as to appear to have been cast by the same person,
17all of the ballots so folded together shall be marked and
18returned with the other ballots in the same condition, as near
19as may be, in which they were found when first opened, but
20shall not be counted. If the remaining ballots are found to
21exceed the number of persons voting in the precinct as shown by
22the slip signed by the judges of election, the ballots shall be
23replaced in the box, and the box closed and well shaken and
24again opened and one of the precinct transport judges shall
25publicly draw out so many ballots unopened as are equal to such
26excess.

HB3249 Enrolled- 66 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Such excess ballots shall be marked "Excess-Not Counted"
2and signed by the two precinct transport judges and shall be
3placed in the "After 7:00 p.m. Defective Ballots Envelope". The
4number of excess ballots shall be noted in the remarks section
5of the Certificate of Results. "Excess" ballots shall not be
6counted in the total of "defective" ballots.
7 The precinct transport judges shall then examine the
8remaining ballots for write-in votes and shall count and
9tabulate the write-in vote; or
10 (b) A single ballot box, for the deposit of all votes cast,
11shall be used. All ballots which are not to be tabulated on the
12electronic voting system shall be counted, tallied, and
13returned as elsewhere provided in this Code "The Election
14Code," as amended, for the counting and handling of paper
15ballots.
16 All ballots to be processed and tabulated with the
17electronic voting system shall be processed as follows:
18 Immediately after the closing of the polls, the precinct
19judges of election then shall open the ballot box and canvass
20the votes polled to determine that the number of ballots
21therein agree with the number of voters voting as shown by the
22applications for ballot or if the same do not agree the judges
23of election shall make such ballots agree with the applications
24for ballot in the manner provided by Section 17-18 of this
25Code. "The Election Code." The judges of election shall then
26examine all ballot cards and ballot card envelopes which are in

HB3249 Enrolled- 67 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1the ballot box to determine whether the ballot cards and ballot
2card envelopes bear the initials of a precinct judge of
3election. If any ballot card or ballot card envelope is not
4initialed, it shall be marked on the back "Defective,"
5initialed as to such label by all judges immediately under such
6word "Defective," and not counted, but placed in the envelope
7provided for that purpose labeled "Defective Ballots
8Envelope."
9 When an electronic voting system is used which utilizes a
10ballot card, before separating the ballot cards from their
11respective covering envelopes, the judges of election shall
12examine the ballot card envelopes for write-in votes. When the
13voter has voted a write-in vote, the judges of election shall
14compare the write-in vote with the votes on the ballot card to
15determine whether such write-in results in an overvote for any
16office. In case of an overvote for any office, the judges of
17election, consisting in each case of at least one judge of
18election of each of the two major political parties, shall make
19a true duplicate ballot of all votes on such ballot card except
20for the office which is overvoted, by using the ballot label
21booklet of the precinct and one of the marking devices of the
22precinct so as to transfer all votes of the voter except for
23the office overvoted, to an official ballot card of that kind
24used in the precinct at that election. The original ballot card
25and envelope upon which there is an overvote shall be clearly
26labeled "Overvoted Ballot", and each shall bear the same serial

HB3249 Enrolled- 68 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1number which shall be placed thereon by the judges of election,
2commencing with number 1 and continuing consecutively for the
3ballots of that kind in that precinct. The judges of election
4shall initial the "Duplicate Overvoted Ballot" ballot cards and
5shall place them in the box for return of the ballots. The
6"Overvoted Ballot" ballots and their envelopes shall be placed
7in the "Duplicate Ballots" envelope. Envelopes bearing
8write-in votes marked in the place designated therefor and
9bearing the initials of a precinct judge of election and not
10resulting in an overvote and otherwise complying with the
11election laws as to marking shall be counted, tallied, and
12their votes recorded on a tally sheet provided by the election
13official in charge of the election. The ballot cards and ballot
14card envelopes shall be separated and all except any defective
15or overvoted shall be placed separately in the box for return
16of the ballots. The judges of election shall examine the
17ballots and ballot cards to determine if any is damaged or
18defective so that it cannot be counted by the automatic
19tabulating equipment. If any ballot or ballot card is damaged
20or defective so that it cannot properly be counted by the
21automatic tabulating equipment, the judges of election,
22consisting in each case of at least one judge of election of
23each of the two major political parties, shall make a true
24duplicate ballot of all votes on such ballot card by using the
25ballot label booklet of the precinct and one of the marking
26devices of the precinct. The original ballot or ballot card and

HB3249 Enrolled- 69 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1envelope shall be clearly labeled "Damaged Ballot" and the
2ballot or ballot card so produced "Duplicate Damaged Ballot,"
3and each shall bear the same number which shall be placed
4thereon by the judges of election, commencing with number 1 and
5continuing consecutively for the ballots of that kind in the
6precinct. The judges of election shall initial the "Duplicate
7Damaged Ballot" ballot or ballot cards, and shall place them in
8the box for return of the ballots. The "Damaged Ballot" ballots
9or ballot cards and their envelopes shall be placed in the
10"Duplicated Ballots" envelope. A slip indicating the number of
11voters voting in person shall be made out, signed by all judges
12of election, and inserted in the box for return of the ballots.
13The tally sheets recording the write-in votes shall be placed
14in this box. The judges of election thereupon immediately shall
15securely lock the ballot box or other suitable box furnished
16for return of the ballots by the election official in charge of
17the election; provided that if such box is not of a type which
18may be securely locked, such box shall be sealed with filament
19tape provided for such purpose which shall be wrapped around
20the box lengthwise and crosswise, at least twice each way. A
21separate adhesive seal label signed by each of the judges of
22election of the precinct shall be affixed to the box so as to
23cover any slot therein and to identify the box of the precinct;
24and if such box is sealed with filament tape as provided herein
25rather than locked, such tape shall be wrapped around the box
26as provided herein, but in such manner that the separate

HB3249 Enrolled- 70 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1adhesive seal label affixed to the box and signed by the judges
2may not be removed without breaking the filament tape and
3disturbing the signature of the judges. Thereupon, 2 of the
4judges of election, of different major political parties,
5forthwith shall by the most direct route transport the box for
6return of the ballots and enclosed ballots and returns to the
7central counting location designated by the election official
8in charge of the election. If, however, because of the lack of
9adequate parking facilities at the central counting location or
10for any other reason, it is impossible or impracticable for the
11boxes from all the polling places to be delivered directly to
12the central counting location, the election official in charge
13of the election may designate some other location to which the
14boxes shall be delivered by the 2 precinct judges. While at
15such other location the boxes shall be in the care and custody
16of one or more teams, each consisting of 4 persons, 2 from each
17of the two major political parties, designated for such purpose
18by the election official in charge of elections from
19recommendations by the appropriate political party
20organizations. As soon as possible, the boxes shall be
21transported from such other location to the central counting
22location by one or more teams, each consisting of 4 persons, 2
23from each of the 2 major political parties, designated for such
24purpose by the election official in charge of elections from
25recommendations by the appropriate political party
26organizations.

HB3249 Enrolled- 71 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 The "Defective Ballots" envelope, and "Duplicated Ballots"
2envelope each shall be securely sealed and the flap or end
3thereof of each signed by the precinct judges of election and
4returned to the central counting location with the box for
5return of the ballots, enclosed ballots and returns.
6 At the central counting location, a team of tally judges
7designated by the election official in charge of the election
8shall check the box returned containing the ballots to
9determine that all seals are intact, and thereupon shall open
10the box, check the voters' slip and compare the number of
11ballots so delivered against the total number of voters of the
12precinct who voted, remove the ballots or ballot cards and
13deliver them to the technicians operating the automatic
14tabulating equipment. Any discrepancies between the number of
15ballots and total number of voters shall be noted on a sheet
16furnished for that purpose and signed by the tally judges; or
17 (c) A single ballot box, for the deposit of all votes cast,
18shall be used. Immediately after the closing of the polls, the
19precinct judges of election shall securely lock the ballot box;
20provided that if such box is not of a type which may be
21securely locked, such box shall be sealed with filament tape
22provided for such purpose which shall be wrapped around the box
23lengthwise and crosswise, at least twice each way. A separate
24adhesive seal label signed by each of the judges of election of
25the precinct shall be affixed to the box so as to cover any
26slot therein and to identify the box of the precinct; and if

HB3249 Enrolled- 72 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1such box is sealed with filament tape as provided herein rather
2than locked, such tape shall be wrapped around the box as
3provided herein, but in such manner that the separate adhesive
4seal label affixed to the box and signed by the judges may not
5be removed without breaking the filament tape and disturbing
6the signature of the judges. Thereupon, 2 of the judges of
7election, of different major political parties, shall
8forthwith by the most direct route transport the box for return
9of the ballots and enclosed vote by mail and early ballots and
10returns to the central counting location designated by the
11election official in charge of the election. If however,
12because of the lack of adequate parking facilities at the
13central counting location or for some other reason, it is
14impossible or impracticable for the boxes from all the polling
15places to be delivered directly to the central counting
16location, the election official in charge of the election may
17designate some other location to which the boxes shall be
18delivered by the 2 precinct judges. While at such other
19location the boxes shall be in the care and custody of one or
20more teams, each consisting of 4 persons, 2 from each of the
21two major political parties, designated for such purpose by the
22election official in charge of elections from recommendations
23by the appropriate political party organizations. As soon as
24possible, the boxes shall be transported from such other
25location to the central counting location by one or more teams,
26each consisting of 4 persons, 2 from each of the 2 major

2official in charge of the election from recommendations by the
3appropriate political party organizations.
4 At the central counting location there shall be one or more
5teams of tally judges who possess the same qualifications as
6tally judges in election jurisdictions using paper ballots. The
7number of such teams shall be determined by the election
8authority. Each team shall consist of 5 tally judges, 3
9selected and approved by the county board from a certified list
10furnished by the chair of the county central committee of the
11party with the majority of members on the county board and 2
12selected and approved by the county board from a certified list
13furnished by the chair of the county central committee of the

15board. At the central counting location a team of tally judges
16shall open the ballot box and canvass the votes polled to
17determine that the number of ballot sheets therein agree with
18the number of voters voting as shown by the applications for
19ballot; and, if the same do not agree, the tally judges shall
20make such ballots agree with the number of applications for
21ballot in the manner provided by Section 17-18 of this the
22Election Code. The tally judges shall then examine all ballot
23sheets which are in the ballot box to determine whether they
24bear the initials of the precinct judge of election. If any
25ballot is not initialed, it shall be marked on the back
26"Defective", initialed as to such label by all tally judges

HB3249 Enrolled- 74 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

10on a sheet furnished for that purpose and signed by the tally
11judges.
12 (2) Regardless of which procedure described in subsection
13(1) of this Section is used, the judges of election designated
14to transport the ballots, properly signed and sealed as
15provided herein, shall ensure that the ballots are delivered to
16the central counting station no later than 12 hours after the

10 (5) day care; and
11 (6) emergency assistance and advocacy.
12 In addition, the following services may be made available
13to assess and meet the needs of children and families:
14 (1) comprehensive family-based services;
15 (2) assessments;
16 (3) respite care; and
17 (4) in-home health services.
18 The Department shall provide transportation for any of the
19services it makes available to children or families or for
20which it refers children or families.
21 (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
22assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
23establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
24grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
25disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
26children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were youth

HB3249 Enrolled- 114 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
2assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
3available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
4dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
5been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
6died. The Department may continue to provide financial
7assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
8determined eligible for financial assistance under this
9subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's
10adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the
11new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
12parents. The Department may also provide categories of
13financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
14shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
15grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
16Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
174-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
18who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
19appointment of the guardian.
20 The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs
21of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in the
22annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
23allowed where the child requires special service but such costs
24may not exceed the amounts which similar services would cost
25the Department if it were to provide or secure them as guardian
26of the child.

HB3249 Enrolled- 115 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
2inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
3garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
4a judgment or debt.
5 (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement
6of a child for adoption if an approved family is available
7either outside of the Department region handling the case, or
8outside of the State of Illinois.
9 (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any
10child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
11dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act or
12the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
13 (l) The Department shall offer family preservation
14services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected
15Child Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and
16extended families. Family preservation services shall be
17offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in substitute
18care when the children can be cared for at home or in the
19custody of the person responsible for the children's welfare,
20(ii) to reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
21maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services
22shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger the
23children's health or safety. With respect to children who are
24in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,
25family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal
26other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of

HB3249 Enrolled- 116 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set, except
2that reunification services may be offered as provided in
3paragraph (F) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act.
4Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
5private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
6or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
7subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
8of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
9facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
10hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
11of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
12out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
13reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
14 The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
15Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
16preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
17child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
18the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
19offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
20report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
21prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the
22Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the child's
23or family's willingness to accept services shall not be
24considered in the investigation. The Department may also
25provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
26any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer

HB3249 Enrolled- 117 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1such child or family to services available from other agencies
2in the community, even if the report is determined to be
3unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
4are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
5reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such
6services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide
7services to any child or family after completion of a family
8assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
9under the "differential response program" provided for in
10subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected
11Child Reporting Act.
12 The Department may, at its discretion except for those
13children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
14care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
15as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
16requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
17Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
18be committed to the Department by any court without the
19approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
20effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
212017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
22Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
23adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
24committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
25less than 16 years of age committed to the Department under
26Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor

HB3249 Enrolled- 118 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
2exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
3minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
4reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
5of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,
62017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
7Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
8adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
9committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
10less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
11Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, ii) a minor
12for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
13exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
14minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
15reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
16of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis exists
17when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
18dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
19circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
20delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to attend
21any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of the
22Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
23hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
24release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.
25 As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
26date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and

HB3249 Enrolled- 119 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1implement a special program of family preservation services to
2support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
3experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress
4of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive
5developmental disorder if the Department determines that those
6services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the
7child. The Department may offer services to any family whether
8or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected
9Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or
10family to services available from other agencies in the
11community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are
12reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
13reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
14these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop
15and implement a public information campaign to alert health and
16social service providers and the general public about these
17special family preservation services. The nature and scope of
18the services offered and the number of families served under
19the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be
20determined by the level of funding that the Department annually
21allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental
22disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,
23including but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,
24as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and
25Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American
26Psychiatric Association.

HB3249 Enrolled- 120 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of
2the child require that the child be placed in the most
3permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
4possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
5Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
6concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
7earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
8include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
9the family when the child can be cared for at home without
10endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
11the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
12is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
13permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
14 When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect
15to a child, as described in this subsection, and in making such
16reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the
17paramount concern.
18 When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall
19ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
20prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
21child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
22reunify the family when temporary placement of the child occurs
23unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
24of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing where the
25Department believes that further reunification services would
26be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that

HB3249 Enrolled- 121 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The Department is
2not required to provide further reunification services after
3such a finding.
4 A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
5made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
6best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
7also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
8placement made is the best available placement to provide
9permanency for the child.
10 The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
11planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
12shall consider the following factors when determining
13appropriateness of concurrent planning:
14 (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
15 (2) the past history of the family;
16 (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
17 the family;
18 (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
19 (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
20 family to reunite;
21 (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to
22 provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
23 (7) the age of the child;
24 (8) placement of siblings.
25 (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
26child if:

HB3249 Enrolled- 122 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
2 custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
3 having custody of the child if the parents are not living
4 together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
5 the child is not in the custody of either parent, or
6 (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
7 parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
8If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
9guardian, custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department
10may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
11custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
12in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian or
13custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
14apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
15resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
16enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
17health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
18parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
19such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
20resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
21home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
22follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
235-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
24 The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
25and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
26pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court

HB3249 Enrolled- 123 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
2pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
3Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
4under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
5custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody
6and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as
7required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
8Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
9and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
10subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
111987.
12 The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
13custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
14examination.
15 A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary
16custody of the Department who would have custody of the child
17if he were not in the temporary custody of the Department may
18deliver to the Department a signed request that the Department
19surrender the temporary custody of the child. The Department
20may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after the
21receipt of the request, during which period the Department may
22cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
23of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the Department shall retain
24temporary custody of the child until the court orders
25otherwise. If a petition is not filed within the 10-day period,
26the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the requesting

HB3249 Enrolled- 124 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1parent, guardian or custodian not later than the expiration of
2the 10-day period, at which time the authority and duties of
3the Department with respect to the temporary custody of the
4child shall terminate.
5 (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
6age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
7that cares for children who are in need of secure living
8arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
9determination is made by the facility director and the Director
10or the Director's designate prior to admission to the facility
11subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
12This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is subject
13to placement in a correctional facility operated pursuant to
14Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
15child is a youth in care who was placed in the care of the
16Department before being subject to placement in a correctional
17facility and a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered
18placement of the child in a secure care facility.
19 (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age
20in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the
21Department, appropriate services aimed at family preservation
22have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the child's health and
23safety or are unavailable and such placement would be for their
24best interest. Payment for board, clothing, care, training and
25supervision of any child placed in a licensed child care
26facility may be made by the Department, by the parents or

HB3249 Enrolled- 125 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
2Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
3payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
4in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
5training and supervision of such a child that exceed the
6average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a
7child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
8operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
9payments does not apply in cases where children require
10specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
11disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
12combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
13of such children are not available at payment rates within the
14limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
15services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by
16assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or otherwise.
17 (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
18welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
19sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
20minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
21subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
221987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
23provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
24yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
25responsibility for the development and delivery of services
26under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under

HB3249 Enrolled- 126 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1this Section through the Department of Children and Family
2Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.
3Youth participating in services under this Section shall
4cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an
5agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the
6youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
7homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
8youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
9Department shall continue child welfare services under this
10Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
11of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
12self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The
13Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,
14readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child
15welfare services under this Section and how such services may
16be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and
17the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this
18information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations
19describing services intended to assist minors in achieving
20sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.
21 (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
22review and appeal process for children and families who request
23or receive child welfare services from the Department. Youth in
24care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and
25foster families with whom those youth are placed, shall be
26afforded the same procedural and appeal rights as children and

HB3249 Enrolled- 127 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1families in the case of placement by the Department, including
2the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
3that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child
4welfare agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,
5affords those rights to children and foster families. The
6Department shall accept for administrative review and an appeal
7hearing a complaint made by (i) a child or foster family
8concerning a decision following an initial review by a private
9child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who
10alleges a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An
11appeal of a decision concerning a change in the placement of a
12child shall be conducted in an expedited manner. A court
13determination that a current foster home placement is necessary
14and appropriate under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of
151987 does not constitute a judicial determination on the merits
16of an administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
17involving a change of placement decision.
18 (p) (Blank).
19 (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
20for the benefit of children any gift, donation or bequest of
21money or other property which is received on behalf of such
22children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
23or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
24the Department.
25 The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
26interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial

HB3249 Enrolled- 128 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
2responsible and who have been determined eligible for Veterans'
3Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance allotments from
4the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental voluntary
5payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
6payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous
7payments. Interest earned by each account shall be credited to
8the account, unless disbursed in accordance with this
9subsection.
10 In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
11Department shall:
12 (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
13 federal laws for disbursing money from children's
14 accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
15 "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
16 approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
17 Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
18 records of all disbursements for each account for any
19 purpose.
20 (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from
21 State funds for the child's board and care, medical care
22 not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and
23 utilize funds from the child's account, as covered by
24 regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,
25 disbursements from all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of
26 $13,000,000, shall be deposited by the Department into the

HB3249 Enrolled- 129 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 General Revenue Fund and the balance over 1/12 of
2 $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
3 (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing
4 for the child's costs of care, as specified in item (2).
5 The balance shall accumulate in accordance with relevant
6 State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child
7 or his or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
8 (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations
9encouraging all adoption agencies to voluntarily forward to the
10Department or its agent names and addresses of all persons who
11have applied for and have been approved for adoption of a
12hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names of
13such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of
14such names and addresses shall be maintained by the Department
15or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
16confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of
17the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
18adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
19such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an
20agent its duty to maintain and make available such lists. The
21Department shall ensure that such agent maintains the
22confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of
23the child.
24 (s) The Department of Children and Family Services may
25establish and implement a program to reimburse Department and
26private child welfare agency foster parents licensed by the

HB3249 Enrolled- 130 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Department of Children and Family Services for damages
2sustained by the foster parents as a result of the malicious or
3negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing third
4party coverage for such foster parents with regard to actions
5of foster children to other individuals. Such coverage will be
6secondary to the foster parent liability insurance policy, if
7applicable. The program shall be funded through appropriations
8from the General Revenue Fund, specifically designated for such
9purposes.
10 (t) The Department shall perform home studies and
11investigations and shall exercise supervision over visitation
12as ordered by a court pursuant to the Illinois Marriage and
13Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption Act only if:
14 (1) an order entered by an Illinois court specifically
15 directs the Department to perform such services; and
16 (2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
17 the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its
18 reasonable costs for providing such services in accordance
19 with Department rules, or has determined that neither party
20 is financially able to pay.
21 The Department shall provide written notification to the
22court of the specific arrangements for supervised visitation
23and projected monthly costs within 60 days of the court order.
24The Department shall send to the court information related to
25the costs incurred except in cases where the court has
26determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The court

HB3249 Enrolled- 131 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1may order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
2 (u) In addition to other information that must be provided,
3whenever the Department places a child with a prospective
4adoptive parent or parents or in a licensed foster home, group
5home, child care institution, or in a relative home, the
6Department shall provide to the prospective adoptive parent or
7parents or other caretaker:
8 (1) available detailed information concerning the
9 child's educational and health history, copies of
10 immunization records (including insurance and medical card
11 information), a history of the child's previous
12 placements, if any, and reasons for placement changes
13 excluding any information that identifies or reveals the
14 location of any previous caretaker;
15 (2) a copy of the child's portion of the client service
16 plan, including any visitation arrangement, and all
17 amendments or revisions to it as related to the child; and
18 (3) information containing details of the child's

3 court clerk. From the total filing fee collected for the

23 petitioner or any party entitled to notice may file a
24 motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider the order granting
25 or denying the petition to expunge or seal within 60 days
26 of service of the order. If filed more than 60 days after

HB3249 Enrolled- 255 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 service of the order, a petition to vacate, modify, or
2 reconsider shall comply with subsection (c) of Section

4 motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider, notice of the
5 motion shall be served upon the petitioner and all parties
6 entitled to notice of the petition.
7 (13) Effect of Order. An order granting a petition
8 under the expungement or sealing provisions of this Section
9 shall not be considered void because it fails to comply
10 with the provisions of this Section or because of any error
11 asserted in a motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider. The
12 circuit court retains jurisdiction to determine whether
13 the order is voidable and to vacate, modify, or reconsider
14 its terms based on a motion filed under paragraph (12) of
15 this subsection (d).
16 (14) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to Seal
17 Records. Unless a court has entered a stay of an order
18 granting a petition to seal, all parties entitled to notice
19 of the petition must fully comply with the terms of the
20 order within 60 days of service of the order even if a
21 party is seeking relief from the order through a motion
22 filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is

1 filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is
2 appealing the order, and unless a court has entered a stay
3 of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the
4 petition must seal, but need not expunge, the records until
5 there is a final order on the motion for relief or, in the
6 case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's mandate.

5 Sec. 830-30. State Guarantees for existing debt.
6 (a) The Authority is authorized to issue State Guarantees
7for farmers' existing debts held by a lender. For the purposes
8of this Section, a farmer shall be a resident of Illinois, who
9is a principal operator of a farm or land, at least 50% of
10whose annual gross income is derived from farming and whose
11debt to asset ratio shall not be less than 40%, except in those
12cases where the applicant has previously used the guarantee
13program there shall be no debt to asset ratio or income
14restriction. For the purposes of this Section, debt to asset
15ratio shall mean the current outstanding liabilities of the
16farmer divided by the current outstanding assets of the farmer.
17The Authority shall establish the maximum permissible debt to
18asset ratio based on criteria established by the Authority.
19Lenders shall apply for the State Guarantees on forms provided
20by the Authority and certify that the application and any other
21documents submitted are true and correct. The lender or
22borrower, or both in combination, shall pay an administrative
23fee as determined by the Authority. The applicant shall be
24responsible for paying any fees or charges involved in
25recording mortgages, releases, financing statements, insurance

HB3249 Enrolled- 278 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1for secondary market issues and any other similar fees or
2charges as the Authority may require. The application shall at
3a minimum contain the farmer's name, address, present credit
4and financial information, including cash flow statements,
5financial statements, balance sheets, and any other
6information pertinent to the application, and the collateral to
7be used to secure the State Guarantee. In addition, the lender
8must agree to bring the farmer's debt to a current status at
9the time the State Guarantee is provided and must also agree to
10charge a fixed or adjustable interest rate which the Authority
11determines to be below the market rate of interest generally
12available to the borrower. If both the lender and applicant
13agree, the interest rate on the State Guarantee Loan can be
14converted to a fixed interest rate at any time during the term
15of the loan. Any State Guarantees provided under this Section
16(i) shall not exceed $500,000 per farmer, (ii) shall be set up
17on a payment schedule not to exceed 30 years, and shall be no
18longer than 30 years in duration, and (iii) shall be subject to
19an annual review and renewal by the lender and the Authority;
20provided that only one such State Guarantee shall be
21outstanding per farmer at any one time. No State Guarantee
22shall be revoked by the Authority without a 90-day notice, in
23writing, to all parties. In those cases where the borrower has
24not previously used the guarantee program, the lender shall not
25call due any loan during the first 3 years for any reason
26except for lack of performance or insufficient collateral. The

HB3249 Enrolled- 279 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1lender can review and withdraw or continue with the State
2Guarantee on an annual basis after the first 3 years of the
3loan, provided a 90-day notice, in writing, to all parties has
4been given.
5 (b) The Authority shall provide or renew a State Guarantee
6to a lender if:
7 (i) A fee equal to 25 basis points on the loan is paid
8 to the Authority on an annual basis by the lender.
9 (ii) The application provides collateral acceptable to
10 the Authority that is at least equal to the State's portion
11 of the Guarantee to be provided.
12 (iii) The lender assumes all responsibility and costs
13 for pursuing legal action on collecting any loan that is
14 delinquent or in default.
15 (iv) The lender is responsible for the first 15% of the
16 outstanding principal of the note for which the State
17 Guarantee has been applied.
18 (c) There is hereby created outside of the State treasury a
19special fund to be known as the Illinois Agricultural Loan
20Guarantee Fund. The State Treasurer shall be custodian of this
21Fund. Any amounts in the Illinois Agricultural Loan Guarantee
22Fund not currently needed to meet the obligations of the Fund
23shall be invested as provided by law or used by the Authority
24to make direct loans or originate or purchase loan
25participations under subsection subsections (i) or (r) of
26Section 801-40. All interest earned from these investments

HB3249 Enrolled- 280 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1shall be deposited into the Fund until the Fund reaches the
2maximum amount authorized in this Act; thereafter, interest
3earned shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund. After
4September 1, 1989, annual investment earnings equal to 1.5% of
5the Fund shall remain in the Fund to be used for the purposes
6established in Section 830-40 of this Act. All earnings on
7direct loans or loan participations made by the Authority under
8subsection subsections (i) or (r) of Section 801-40 with
9amounts in this Fund shall become funds of the Authority. The
10Authority is authorized to transfer to the Fund such amounts as
11are necessary to satisfy claims during the duration of the
12State Guarantee program to secure State Guarantees issued under
13this Section, provided that amounts to be paid from the
14Industrial Project Insurance Fund created under Article 805 of
15this Act may be paid by the Authority directly to satisfy
16claims and need not be deposited first into the Illinois
17Agricultural Loan Guarantee Fund. If for any reason the General
18Assembly fails to make an appropriation sufficient to meet
19these obligations, this Act shall constitute an irrevocable and
20continuing appropriation of an amount necessary to secure
21guarantees as defaults occur and the irrevocable and continuing
22authority for, and direction to, the State Treasurer and the
23Comptroller to make the necessary transfers to the Illinois
24Agricultural Loan Guarantee Fund, as directed by the Governor,
25out of the General Revenue Fund. Within 30 days after November
2615, 1985, the Authority may transfer up to $7,000,000 from

HB3249 Enrolled- 281 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1available appropriations into the Illinois Agricultural Loan
2Guarantee Fund for the purposes of this Act. Thereafter, the
3Authority may transfer additional amounts into the Illinois
4Agricultural Loan Guarantee Fund to secure guarantees for
5defaults as defaults occur. In the event of default by the
6farmer, the lender shall be entitled to, and the Authority
7shall direct payment on, the State Guarantee after 90 days of
8delinquency. All payments by the Authority to satisfy claims
9against the State Guarantee shall be made, in whole or in part,
10from any of the following funds in such order and in such
11amounts as the Authority shall determine: (1) the Industrial
12Project Insurance Fund created under Article 805 of this Act
13(if the Authority exercises its discretion under subsection (j)
14of Section 805-20); (2) the Illinois Agricultural Loan
15Guarantee Fund; or (3) the Illinois Farmer and Agribusiness
16Loan Guarantee Fund. The Illinois Agricultural Loan Guarantee
17Fund shall guarantee receipt of payment of the 85% of the
18principal and interest owed on the State Guarantee Loan by the
19farmer to the guarantee holder, provided that payments by the
20Authority to satisfy claims against the State Guarantee shall
21be made in accordance with the preceding sentence. It shall be
22the responsibility of the lender to proceed with the collecting
23and disposing of collateral on the State Guarantee under this
24Section, Section 830-35, Section 830-45, Section 830-50,
25Section 830-55, or Article 835 within 14 months of the time the
26State Guarantee is declared delinquent; provided, however,

HB3249 Enrolled- 282 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1that the lender shall not collect or dispose of collateral on
2the State Guarantee without the express written prior approval
3of the Authority. If the lender does not dispose of the
4collateral within 14 months, the lender shall be liable to
5repay to the State interest on the State Guarantee equal to the

7provided, however, that the Authority may extend the 14-month
8period for a lender in the case of bankruptcy or extenuating
9circumstances. The Fund from which a payment is made shall be

11Section, Section 830-35, Section 830-45, Section 830-50,
12Section 830-55, or Article 835 upon liquidation of the
13collateral. The Authority, by resolution of the Board, may

23Guarantees, the Authority may promulgate rules establishing
24the eligibility of farmers and lenders to participate in the

8agribusiness; eligibility.
9 (a) The Authority is authorized to issue State Guarantees
10to lenders for loans to eligible farmers and agribusinesses for
11purposes set forth in this Section. For purposes of this
12Section, an eligible farmer shall be a resident of Illinois (i)
13who is principal operator of a farm or land, at least 50% of
14whose annual gross income is derived from farming, (ii) whose
15annual total sales of agricultural products, commodities, or
16livestock exceeds $20,000, and (iii) whose net worth does not
17exceed $500,000. An eligible agribusiness shall be that as
18defined in Section 801-10 of this Act. The Authority may
19approve applications by farmers and agribusinesses that
20promote diversification of the farm economy of this State
21through the growth and development of new crops or livestock
22not customarily grown or produced in this State or that
23emphasize a vertical integration of grain or livestock produced
24or raised in this State into a finished agricultural product
25for consumption or use. "New crops or livestock not customarily

HB3249 Enrolled- 284 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1grown or produced in this State" shall not include corn,
2soybeans, wheat, swine, or beef or dairy cattle. "Vertical
3integration of grain or livestock produced or raised in this
4State" shall include any new or existing grain or livestock
5grown or produced in this State. Lenders shall apply for the
6State Guarantees on forms provided by the Authority, certify
7that the application and any other documents submitted are true
8and correct, and pay an administrative fee as determined by the
9Authority. The applicant shall be responsible for paying any
10fees or charges involved in recording mortgages, releases,
11financing statements, insurance for secondary market issues
12and any other similar fees or charges as the Authority may
13require. The application shall at a minimum contain the
14farmer's or agribusiness' name, address, present credit and
15financial information, including cash flow statements,
16financial statements, balance sheets, and any other
17information pertinent to the application, and the collateral to
18be used to secure the State Guarantee. In addition, the lender
19must agree to charge an interest rate, which may vary, on the
20loan that the Authority determines to be below the market rate
21of interest generally available to the borrower. If both the
22lender and applicant agree, the interest rate on the State
23Guarantee Loan can be converted to a fixed interest rate at any
24time during the term of the loan. Any State Guarantees provided
25under this Section (i) shall not exceed $500,000 per farmer or
26an amount as determined by the Authority on a case-by-case

HB3249 Enrolled- 285 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1basis for an agribusiness, (ii) shall not exceed a term of 15
2years, and (iii) shall be subject to an annual review and
3renewal by the lender and the Authority; provided that only one
4such State Guarantee shall be made per farmer or agribusiness,
5except that additional State Guarantees may be made for
6purposes of expansion of projects financed in part by a
7previously issued State Guarantee. No State Guarantee shall be
8revoked by the Authority without a 90-day notice, in writing,
9to all parties. The lender shall not call due any loan for any
10reason except for lack of performance, insufficient
11collateral, or maturity. A lender may review and withdraw or
12continue with a State Guarantee on an annual basis after the
13first 5 years following closing of the loan application if the
14loan contract provides for an interest rate that shall not
15vary. A lender shall not withdraw a State Guarantee if the loan
16contract provides for an interest rate that may vary, except
17for reasons set forth herein.
18 (b) The Authority shall provide or renew a State Guarantee
19to a lender if:
20 (i) A fee equal to 25 basis points on the loan is paid
21 to the Authority on an annual basis by the lender.
22 (ii) The application provides collateral acceptable to
23 the Authority that is at least equal to the State's portion
24 of the Guarantee to be provided.
25 (iii) The lender assumes all responsibility and costs
26 for pursuing legal action on collecting any loan that is

HB3249 Enrolled- 286 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 delinquent or in default.
2 (iv) The lender is responsible for the first 15% of the
3 outstanding principal of the note for which the State
4 Guarantee has been applied.
5 (c) There is hereby created outside of the State treasury a
6special fund to be known as the Illinois Farmer and
7Agribusiness Loan Guarantee Fund. The State Treasurer shall be
8custodian of this Fund. Any amounts in the Fund not currently
9needed to meet the obligations of the Fund shall be invested as
10provided by law, or used by the Authority to make direct loans
11or originate or purchase loan participations under subsection
12subsections (i) or (r) of Section 801-40. All interest earned
13from these investments shall be deposited into the Fund until
14the Fund reaches the maximum amounts authorized in this Act;
15thereafter, interest earned shall be deposited into the General
16Revenue Fund. After September 1, 1989, annual investment
17earnings equal to 1.5% of the Fund shall remain in the Fund to
18be used for the purposes established in Section 830-40 of this
19Act. All earnings on direct loans or loan participations made
20by the Authority under subsection subsections (i) or (r) of
21Section 801-40 with amounts in this Fund shall become funds of
22the Authority. The Authority is authorized to transfer such
23amounts as are necessary to satisfy claims from available
24appropriations and from fund balances of the Farm Emergency
25Assistance Fund as of June 30 of each year to the Illinois
26Farmer and Agribusiness Loan Guarantee Fund to secure State

1Guarantees issued under this Section, Sections 830-30, 830-45,
2830-50, and 830-55, and Article 835 of this Act. Amounts to be
3paid from the Industrial Project Insurance Fund created under
4Article 805 of this Act may be paid by the Authority directly
5to satisfy claims and need not be deposited first into the
6Illinois Farmer and Agribusiness Loan Guarantee Fund. If for
7any reason the General Assembly fails to make an appropriation
8sufficient to meet these obligations, this Act shall constitute
9an irrevocable and continuing appropriation of an amount
10necessary to secure guarantees as defaults occur and the
11irrevocable and continuing authority for, and direction to, the
12State Treasurer and the Comptroller to make the necessary
13transfers to the Illinois Farmer and Agribusiness Loan
14Guarantee Fund, as directed by the Governor, out of the General
15Revenue Fund. In the event of default by the borrower on State
16Guarantee Loans under this Section, Section 830-45, Section
17830-50, or Section 830-55, the lender shall be entitled to, and
18the Authority shall direct payment on, the State Guarantee
19after 90 days of delinquency. All payments by the Authority to
20satisfy claims against the State Guarantee shall be made, in
21whole or in part, from any of the following funds in such order
22and in such amounts as the Authority shall determine: (1) the
23Industrial Project Insurance Fund created under Article 805 of
24this Act (if the Authority exercises its discretion under
25subsection (j) of Section 805-20); (2) the Illinois Farmer and
26Agribusiness Loan Guarantee Fund; or (3) the Illinois Farmer

HB3249 Enrolled- 288 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1and Agribusiness Loan Guarantee Fund. It shall be the
2responsibility of the lender to proceed with the collecting and
3disposing of collateral on the State Guarantee under this
4Section, Section 830-45, Section 830-50, or Section 830-55
5within 14 months of the time the State Guarantee is declared
6delinquent. If the lender does not dispose of the collateral
7within 14 months, the lender shall be liable to repay to the
8State interest on the State Guarantee equal to the same rate
9that the lender charges on the State Guarantee, provided that
10the Authority shall have the authority to extend the 14-month
11period for a lender in the case of bankruptcy or extenuating
12circumstances. The Fund shall be reimbursed for any amounts
13paid under this Section, Section 830-30, Section 830-45,
14Section 830-50, Section 830-55, or Article 835 upon liquidation
15of the collateral. The Authority, by resolution of the Board,
16may borrow sums from the Fund and provide for repayment as soon
17as may be practical upon receipt of payments of principal and
18interest by a borrower on State Guarantee Loans under this
19Section, Section 830-30, Section 830-45, Section 830-50,
20Section 830-55, or Article 835. Money may be borrowed from the
21Fund by the Authority for the sole purpose of paying certain
22interest costs for borrowers associated with selling a loan
23subject to a State Guarantee under this Section, Section
24830-30, Section 830-45, Section 830-50, Section 830-55, or

HB3249 Enrolled- 301 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1customers in the State of Illinois, and for eligible Illinois
2retail customers of small multi-jurisdictional electric
3utilities that (i) on December 31, 2005 served less than
4100,000 customers in Illinois and (ii) request a procurement
5plan for their Illinois jurisdictional load.
6 (c) Renewable portfolio standard.
7 (1)(A) The Agency shall develop a long-term renewable
8 resources procurement plan that shall include procurement
9 programs and competitive procurement events necessary to
10 meet the goals set forth in this subsection (c). The
11 initial long-term renewable resources procurement plan
12 shall be released for comment no later than 160 days after
13 June 1, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 99-906). The
14 Agency shall review, and may revise on an expedited basis,
15 the long-term renewable resources procurement plan at
16 least every 2 years, which shall be conducted in
17 conjunction with the procurement plan under Section
18 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act to the extent
19 practicable to minimize administrative expense. The
20 long-term renewable resources procurement plans shall be
21 subject to review and approval by the Commission under
22 Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
23 (B) Subject to subparagraph (F) of this paragraph (1),
24 the long-term renewable resources procurement plan shall

4 For purposes of this Section:
5 "New wind projects" means wind renewable
6 energy facilities that are energized after June 1,
7 2017 for the delivery year commencing June 1, 2017
8 or within 3 years after the date the Commission
9 approves contracts for subsequent delivery years.
10 "New photovoltaic projects" means photovoltaic
11 renewable energy facilities that are energized
12 after June 1, 2017. Photovoltaic projects
13 developed under Section 1-56 of this Act shall not
14 apply towards the new photovoltaic project
15 requirements in this subparagraph (C).
16 (D) Renewable energy credits shall be cost effective.
17 For purposes of this subsection (c), "cost effective" means
18 that the costs of procuring renewable energy resources do
19 not cause the limit stated in subparagraph (E) of this
20 paragraph (1) to be exceeded and, for renewable energy
21 credits procured through a competitive procurement event,
22 do not exceed benchmarks based on market prices for like
23 products in the region. For purposes of this subsection
24 (c), "like products" means contracts for renewable energy
25 credits from the same or substantially similar technology,
26 same or substantially similar vintage (new or existing),

HB3249 Enrolled- 307 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the same or substantially similar quantity, and the same or
2 substantially similar contract length and structure.
3 Benchmarks shall be developed by the procurement
4 administrator, in consultation with the Commission staff,
5 Agency staff, and the procurement monitor and shall be
6 subject to Commission review and approval. If price
7 benchmarks for like products in the region are not
8 available, the procurement administrator shall establish
9 price benchmarks based on publicly available data on
10 regional technology costs and expected current and future
11 regional energy prices. The benchmarks in this Section
12 shall not be used to curtail or otherwise reduce
13 contractual obligations entered into by or through the
14 Agency prior to June 1, 2017 (the effective date of Public
15 Act 99-906).
16 (E) For purposes of this subsection (c), the required
17 procurement of cost-effective renewable energy resources
18 for a particular year commencing prior to June 1, 2017
19 shall be measured as a percentage of the actual amount of
20 electricity (megawatt-hours) supplied by the electric
21 utility to eligible retail customers in the delivery year
22 ending immediately prior to the procurement, and, for
23 delivery years commencing on and after June 1, 2017, the
24 required procurement of cost-effective renewable energy
25 resources for a particular year shall be measured as a
26 percentage of the actual amount of electricity

HB3249 Enrolled- 308 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (megawatt-hours) delivered by the electric utility in the
2 delivery year ending immediately prior to the procurement,
3 to all retail customers in its service territory. For
4 purposes of this subsection (c), the amount paid per
5 kilowatthour means the total amount paid for electric
6 service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For purposes
7 of this subsection (c), the total amount paid for electric
8 service includes without limitation amounts paid for
9 supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges, and add-on
10 taxes.
11 Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
12 (c), the total of renewable energy resources procured under
13 the procurement plan for any single year shall be subject
14 to the limitations of this subparagraph (E). Such
15 procurement shall be reduced for all retail customers based
16 on the amount necessary to limit the annual estimated
17 average net increase due to the costs of these resources
18 included in the amounts paid by eligible retail customers
19 in connection with electric service to no more than the
20 greater of 2.015% of the amount paid per kilowatthour by
21 those customers during the year ending May 31, 2007 or the
22 incremental amount per kilowatthour paid for these
23 resources in 2011. To arrive at a maximum dollar amount of
24 renewable energy resources to be procured for the
25 particular delivery year, the resulting per kilowatthour
26 amount shall be applied to the actual amount of

HB3249 Enrolled- 309 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 kilowatthours of electricity delivered, or applicable
2 portion of such amount as specified in paragraph (1) of
3 this subsection (c), as applicable, by the electric utility
4 in the delivery year immediately prior to the procurement
5 to all retail customers in its service territory. The
6 calculations required by this subparagraph (E) shall be
7 made only once for each delivery year at the time that the
8 renewable energy resources are procured. Once the
9 determination as to the amount of renewable energy
10 resources to procure is made based on the calculations set
11 forth in this subparagraph (E) and the contracts procuring
12 those amounts are executed, no subsequent rate impact
13 determinations shall be made and no adjustments to those
14 contract amounts shall be allowed. All costs incurred under
15 such contracts shall be fully recoverable by the electric
16 utility as provided in this Section.
17 (F) If the limitation on the amount of renewable energy
18 resources procured in subparagraph (E) of this paragraph
19 (1) prevents the Agency from meeting all of the goals in
20 this subsection (c), the Agency's long-term plan shall
21 prioritize compliance with the requirements of this
22 subsection (c) regarding renewable energy credits in the
23 following order:
24 (i) renewable energy credits under existing
25 contractual obligations;
26 (i-5) funding for the Illinois Solar for All

HB3249 Enrolled- 310 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Program, as described in subparagraph (O) of this
2 paragraph (1);
3 (ii) renewable energy credits necessary to comply
4 with the new wind and new photovoltaic procurement
5 requirements described in items (i) through (iii) of
6 subparagraph (C) of this paragraph (1); and
7 (iii) renewable energy credits necessary to meet
8 the remaining requirements of this subsection (c).
9 (G) The following provisions shall apply to the
10 Agency's procurement of renewable energy credits under
11 this subsection (c):
12 (i) Notwithstanding whether a long-term renewable
13 resources procurement plan has been approved, the
14 Agency shall conduct an initial forward procurement
15 for renewable energy credits from new utility-scale
16 wind projects within 160 days after June 1, 2017 (the
17 effective date of Public Act 99-906). For the purposes
18 of this initial forward procurement, the Agency shall
19 solicit 15-year contracts for delivery of 1,000,000
20 renewable energy credits delivered annually from new
21 utility-scale wind projects to begin delivery on June
22 1, 2019, if available, but not later than June 1, 2021.
23 Payments to suppliers of renewable energy credits
24 shall commence upon delivery. Renewable energy credits
25 procured under this initial procurement shall be
26 included in the Agency's long-term plan and shall apply

HB3249 Enrolled- 311 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 to all renewable energy goals in this subsection (c).
2 (ii) Notwithstanding whether a long-term renewable
3 resources procurement plan has been approved, the
4 Agency shall conduct an initial forward procurement
5 for renewable energy credits from new utility-scale
6 solar projects and brownfield site photovoltaic
7 projects within one year after June 1, 2017 (the
8 effective date of Public Act 99-906). For the purposes
9 of this initial forward procurement, the Agency shall
10 solicit 15-year contracts for delivery of 1,000,000
11 renewable energy credits delivered annually from new
12 utility-scale solar projects and brownfield site

19 this initial procurement shall be included in the
20 Agency's long-term plan and shall apply to all
21 renewable energy goals in this subsection (c).
22 (iii) Subsequent forward procurements for
23 utility-scale wind projects shall solicit at least
24 1,000,000 renewable energy credits delivered annually
25 per procurement event and shall be planned, scheduled,
26 and designed such that the cumulative amount of

HB3249 Enrolled- 312 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 renewable energy credits delivered from all new wind
2 projects in each delivery year shall not exceed the
3 Agency's projection of the cumulative amount of
4 renewable energy credits that will be delivered from
5 all new photovoltaic projects, including utility-scale
6 and distributed photovoltaic devices, in the same
7 delivery year at the time scheduled for wind contract
8 delivery.
9 (iv) If, at any time after the time set for
10 delivery of renewable energy credits pursuant to the
11 initial procurements in items (i) and (ii) of this
12 subparagraph (G), the cumulative amount of renewable
13 energy credits projected to be delivered from all new
14 wind projects in a given delivery year exceeds the
15 cumulative amount of renewable energy credits
16 projected to be delivered from all new photovoltaic
17 projects in that delivery year by 200,000 or more
18 renewable energy credits, then the Agency shall within
19 60 days adjust the procurement programs in the
20 long-term renewable resources procurement plan to
21 ensure that the projected cumulative amount of
22 renewable energy credits to be delivered from all new
23 wind projects does not exceed the projected cumulative
24 amount of renewable energy credits to be delivered from
25 all new photovoltaic projects by 200,000 or more
26 renewable energy credits, provided that nothing in

HB3249 Enrolled- 313 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 this Section shall preclude the projected cumulative
2 amount of renewable energy credits to be delivered from
3 all new photovoltaic projects from exceeding the
4 projected cumulative amount of renewable energy
5 credits to be delivered from all new wind projects in
6 each delivery year and provided further that nothing in
7 this item (iv) shall require the curtailment of an
8 executed contract. The Agency shall update, on a
9 quarterly basis, its projection of the renewable
10 energy credits to be delivered from all projects in
11 each delivery year. Notwithstanding anything to the
12 contrary, the Agency may adjust the timing of
13 procurement events conducted under this subparagraph
14 (G). The long-term renewable resources procurement
15 plan shall set forth the process by which the
16 adjustments may be made.
17 (v) All procurements under this subparagraph (G)
18 shall comply with the geographic requirements in
19 subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (1) and shall follow
20 the procurement processes and procedures described in
21 this Section and Section 16-111.5 of the Public
22 Utilities Act to the extent practicable, and these
23 processes and procedures may be expedited to
24 accommodate the schedule established by this
25 subparagraph (G).
26 (H) The procurement of renewable energy resources for a

HB3249 Enrolled- 314 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 given delivery year shall be reduced as described in this
2 subparagraph (H) if an alternative retail electric
3 supplier meets the requirements described in this
4 subparagraph (H).
5 (i) Within 45 days after June 1, 2017 (the
6 effective date of Public Act 99-906), an alternative
7 retail electric supplier or its successor shall submit
8 an informational filing to the Illinois Commerce
9 Commission certifying that, as of December 31, 2015,
10 the alternative retail electric supplier owned one or
11 more electric generating facilities that generates
12 renewable energy resources as defined in Section 1-10
13 of this Act, provided that such facilities are not
14 powered by wind or photovoltaics, and the facilities
15 generate one renewable energy credit for each
16 megawatthour of energy produced from the facility.
17 The informational filing shall identify each
18 facility that was eligible to satisfy the alternative
19 retail electric supplier's obligations under Section
20 16-115D of the Public Utilities Act as described in
21 this item (i).
22 (ii) For a given delivery year, the alternative
23 retail electric supplier may elect to supply its retail
24 customers with renewable energy credits from the
25 facility or facilities described in item (i) of this
26 subparagraph (H) that continue to be owned by the

HB3249 Enrolled- 315 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 alternative retail electric supplier.
2 (iii) The alternative retail electric supplier
3 shall notify the Agency and the applicable utility, no
4 later than February 28 of the year preceding the
5 applicable delivery year or 15 days after June 1, 2017
6 (the effective date of Public Act 99-906), whichever is
7 later, of its election under item (ii) of this
8 subparagraph (H) to supply renewable energy credits to
9 retail customers of the utility. Such election shall
10 identify the amount of renewable energy credits to be
11 supplied by the alternative retail electric supplier
12 to the utility's retail customers and the source of the
13 renewable energy credits identified in the
14 informational filing as described in item (i) of this
15 subparagraph (H), subject to the following
16 limitations:
17 For the delivery year beginning June 1, 2018,
18 the maximum amount of renewable energy credits to
19 be supplied by an alternative retail electric
20 supplier under this subparagraph (H) shall be 68%
21 multiplied by 25% multiplied by 14.5% multiplied
22 by the amount of metered electricity
23 (megawatt-hours) delivered by the alternative
24 retail electric supplier to Illinois retail
25 customers during the delivery year ending May 31,
26 2016.

HB3249 Enrolled- 316 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 For delivery years beginning June 1, 2019 and
2 each year thereafter, the maximum amount of
3 renewable energy credits to be supplied by an
4 alternative retail electric supplier under this
5 subparagraph (H) shall be 68% multiplied by 50%
6 multiplied by 16% multiplied by the amount of
7 metered electricity (megawatt-hours) delivered by
8 the alternative retail electric supplier to
9 Illinois retail customers during the delivery year
10 ending May 31, 2016, provided that the 16% value
11 shall increase by 1.5% each delivery year
12 thereafter to 25% by the delivery year beginning
13 June 1, 2025, and thereafter the 25% value shall
14 apply to each delivery year.
15 For each delivery year, the total amount of
16 renewable energy credits supplied by all alternative
17 retail electric suppliers under this subparagraph (H)
18 shall not exceed 9% of the Illinois target renewable
19 energy credit quantity. The Illinois target renewable
20 energy credit quantity for the delivery year beginning
21 June 1, 2018 is 14.5% multiplied by the total amount of
22 metered electricity (megawatt-hours) delivered in the
23 delivery year immediately preceding that delivery
24 year, provided that the 14.5% shall increase by 1.5%
25 each delivery year thereafter to 25% by the delivery
26 year beginning June 1, 2025, and thereafter the 25%

HB3249 Enrolled- 317 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 value shall apply to each delivery year.
2 If the requirements set forth in items (i) through
3 (iii) of this subparagraph (H) are met, the charges
4 that would otherwise be applicable to the retail
5 customers of the alternative retail electric supplier
6 under paragraph (6) of this subsection (c) for the
7 applicable delivery year shall be reduced by the ratio
8 of the quantity of renewable energy credits supplied by
9 the alternative retail electric supplier compared to
10 that supplier's target renewable energy credit
11 quantity. The supplier's target renewable energy
12 credit quantity for the delivery year beginning June 1,
13 2018 is 14.5% multiplied by the total amount of metered
14 electricity (megawatt-hours) delivered by the
15 alternative retail supplier in that delivery year,
16 provided that the 14.5% shall increase by 1.5% each
17 delivery year thereafter to 25% by the delivery year
18 beginning June 1, 2025, and thereafter the 25% value
19 shall apply to each delivery year.
20 On or before April 1 of each year, the Agency shall
21 annually publish a report on its website that
22 identifies the aggregate amount of renewable energy
23 credits supplied by alternative retail electric
24 suppliers under this subparagraph (H).
25 (I) The Agency shall design its long-term renewable
26 energy procurement plan to maximize the State's interest in

HB3249 Enrolled- 318 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the health, safety, and welfare of its residents, including
2 but not limited to minimizing sulfur dioxide, nitrogen
3 oxide, particulate matter and other pollution that
4 adversely affects public health in this State, increasing
5 fuel and resource diversity in this State, enhancing the
6 reliability and resiliency of the electricity distribution
7 system in this State, meeting goals to limit carbon dioxide
8 emissions under federal or State law, and contributing to a
9 cleaner and healthier environment for the citizens of this
10 State. In order to further these legislative purposes,
11 renewable energy credits shall be eligible to be counted
12 toward the renewable energy requirements of this
13 subsection (c) if they are generated from facilities
14 located in this State. The Agency may qualify renewable
15 energy credits from facilities located in states adjacent
16 to Illinois if the generator demonstrates and the Agency
17 determines that the operation of such facility or
18 facilities will help promote the State's interest in the
19 health, safety, and welfare of its residents based on the
20 public interest criteria described above. To ensure that
21 the public interest criteria are applied to the procurement
22 and given full effect, the Agency's long-term procurement
23 plan shall describe in detail how each public interest
24 factor shall be considered and weighted for facilities
25 located in states adjacent to Illinois.
26 (J) In order to promote the competitive development of

HB3249 Enrolled- 319 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 renewable energy resources in furtherance of the State's
2 interest in the health, safety, and welfare of its
3 residents, renewable energy credits shall not be eligible
4 to be counted toward the renewable energy requirements of
5 this subsection (c) if they are sourced from a generating
6 unit whose costs were being recovered through rates
7 regulated by this State or any other state or states on or
8 after January 1, 2017. Each contract executed to purchase
9 renewable energy credits under this subsection (c) shall
10 provide for the contract's termination if the costs of the
11 generating unit supplying the renewable energy credits
12 subsequently begin to be recovered through rates regulated
13 by this State or any other state or states; and each
14 contract shall further provide that, in that event, the
15 supplier of the credits must return 110% of all payments
16 received under the contract. Amounts returned under the
17 requirements of this subparagraph (J) shall be retained by
18 the utility and all of these amounts shall be used for the
19 procurement of additional renewable energy credits from
20 new wind or new photovoltaic resources as defined in this
21 subsection (c). The long-term plan shall provide that these
22 renewable energy credits shall be procured in the next
23 procurement event.
24 Notwithstanding the limitations of this subparagraph
25 (J), renewable energy credits sourced from generating
26 units that are constructed, purchased, owned, or leased by

HB3249 Enrolled- 320 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 an electric utility as part of an approved project,
2 program, or pilot under Section 1-56 of this Act shall be
3 eligible to be counted toward the renewable energy
4 requirements of this subsection (c), regardless of how the
5 costs of these units are recovered.
6 (K) The long-term renewable resources procurement plan
7 developed by the Agency in accordance with subparagraph (A)
8 of this paragraph (1) shall include an Adjustable Block
9 program for the procurement of renewable energy credits
10 from new photovoltaic projects that are distributed
11 renewable energy generation devices or new photovoltaic
12 community renewable generation projects. The Adjustable
13 Block program shall be designed to provide a transparent
14 schedule of prices and quantities to enable the
15 photovoltaic market to scale up and for renewable energy
16 credit prices to adjust at a predictable rate over time.
17 The prices set by the Adjustable Block program can be
18 reflected as a set value or as the product of a formula.
19 The Adjustable Block program shall include for each
20 category of eligible projects: a schedule of standard block
21 purchase prices to be offered; a series of steps, with
22 associated nameplate capacity and purchase prices that
23 adjust from step to step; and automatic opening of the next
24 step as soon as the nameplate capacity and available
25 purchase prices for an open step are fully committed or
26 reserved. Only projects energized on or after June 1, 2017

HB3249 Enrolled- 321 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 shall be eligible for the Adjustable Block program. For
2 each block group the Agency shall determine the number of
3 blocks, the amount of generation capacity in each block,
4 and the purchase price for each block, provided that the
5 purchase price provided and the total amount of generation
6 in all blocks for all block groups shall be sufficient to
7 meet the goals in this subsection (c). The Agency may
8 periodically review its prior decisions establishing the
9 number of blocks, the amount of generation capacity in each
10 block, and the purchase price for each block, and may
11 propose, on an expedited basis, changes to these previously
12 set values, including but not limited to redistributing
13 these amounts and the available funds as necessary and
14 appropriate, subject to Commission approval as part of the
15 periodic plan revision process described in Section
16 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act. The Agency may define
17 different block sizes, purchase prices, or other distinct
18 terms and conditions for projects located in different
19 utility service territories if the Agency deems it
20 necessary to meet the goals in this subsection (c).
21 The Adjustable Block program shall include at least the
22 following block groups in at least the following amounts,
23 which may be adjusted upon review by the Agency and
24 approval by the Commission as described in this
25 subparagraph (K):
26 (i) At least 25% from distributed renewable energy

8 projects for small commercial customers, large
9 commercial customers, and public or non-profit
10 customers.
11 (iii) At least 25% from photovoltaic community
12 renewable generation projects.
13 (iv) The remaining 25% shall be allocated as
14 specified by the Agency in the long-term renewable
15 resources procurement plan.
16 The Adjustable Block program shall be designed to
17 ensure that renewable energy credits are procured from
18 photovoltaic distributed renewable energy generation
19 devices and new photovoltaic community renewable energy
20 generation projects in diverse locations and are not
21 concentrated in a few geographic areas.
22 (L) The procurement of photovoltaic renewable energy
23 credits under items (i) through (iv) of subparagraph (K) of
24 this paragraph (1) shall be subject to the following
25 contract and payment terms:
26 (i) The Agency shall procure contracts of at least

5 purchase price shall be paid in full by the contracting
6 utilities at the time that the facility producing the
7 renewable energy credits is interconnected at the
8 distribution system level of the utility and
9 energized. The electric utility shall receive and
10 retire all renewable energy credits generated by the
11 project for the first 15 years of operation.
12 (iii) For those renewable energy credits that
13 qualify and are procured under item (ii) and (iii) of
14 subparagraph (K) of this paragraph (1) and any
15 additional categories of distributed generation
16 included in the long-term renewable resources
17 procurement plan and approved by the Commission, 20
18 percent of the renewable energy credit purchase price
19 shall be paid by the contracting utilities at the time
20 that the facility producing the renewable energy
21 credits is interconnected at the distribution system
22 level of the utility and energized. The remaining
23 portion shall be paid ratably over the subsequent
24 4-year period. The electric utility shall receive and
25 retire all renewable energy credits generated by the
26 project for the first 15 years of operation.

HB3249 Enrolled- 324 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (iv) Each contract shall include provisions to
2 ensure the delivery of the renewable energy credits for
3 the full term of the contract.

8 Act. No contract shall be executed for an amount that
9 is less than one renewable energy credit per year.
10 (vi) If, at any time, approved applications for the
11 Adjustable Block program exceed funds collected by the
12 electric utility or would cause the Agency to exceed
13 the limitation described in subparagraph (E) of this
14 paragraph (1) on the amount of renewable energy
15 resources that may be procured, then the Agency shall
16 consider future uncommitted funds to be reserved for
17 these contracts on a first-come, first-served basis,
18 with the delivery of renewable energy credits required
19 beginning at the time that the reserved funds become
20 available.
21 (vii) Nothing in this Section shall require the
22 utility to advance any payment or pay any amounts that
23 exceed the actual amount of revenues collected by the
24 utility under paragraph (6) of this subsection (c) and
25 subsection (k) of Section 16-108 of the Public
26 Utilities Act, and contracts executed under this

HB3249 Enrolled- 325 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Section shall expressly incorporate this limitation.
2 (M) The Agency shall be authorized to retain one or
3 more experts or expert consulting firms to develop,
4 administer, implement, operate, and evaluate the
5 Adjustable Block program described in subparagraph (K) of
6 this paragraph (1), and the Agency shall retain the
7 consultant or consultants in the same manner, to the extent
8 practicable, as the Agency retains others to administer
9 provisions of this Act, including, but not limited to, the
10 procurement administrator. The selection of experts and
11 expert consulting firms and the procurement process
12 described in this subparagraph (M) are exempt from the
13 requirements of Section 20-10 of the Illinois Procurement
14 Code, under Section 20-10 of that Code. The Agency shall
15 strive to minimize administrative expenses in the
16 implementation of the Adjustable Block program.
17 The Agency and its consultant or consultants shall
18 monitor block activity, share program activity with
19 stakeholders and conduct regularly scheduled meetings to
20 discuss program activity and market conditions. If
21 necessary, the Agency may make prospective administrative
22 adjustments to the Adjustable Block program design, such as
23 redistributing available funds or making adjustments to
24 purchase prices as necessary to achieve the goals of this
25 subsection (c). Program modifications to any price,
26 capacity block, or other program element that do not

HB3249 Enrolled- 326 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 deviate from the Commission's approved value by more than
2 25% shall take effect immediately and are not subject to
3 Commission review and approval. Program modifications to
4 any price, capacity block, or other program element that
5 deviate more than 25% from the Commission's approved value
6 must be approved by the Commission as a long-term plan
7 amendment under Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities
8 Act. The Agency shall consider stakeholder feedback when
9 making adjustments to the Adjustable Block design and shall
10 notify stakeholders in advance of any planned changes.
11 (N) The long-term renewable resources procurement plan
12 required by this subsection (c) shall include a community
13 renewable generation program. The Agency shall establish
14 the terms, conditions, and program requirements for
15 community renewable generation projects with a goal to
16 expand renewable energy generating facility access to a
17 broader group of energy consumers, to ensure robust
18 participation opportunities for residential and small
19 commercial customers and those who cannot install
20 renewable energy on their own properties. Any plan approved
21 by the Commission shall allow subscriptions to community
22 renewable generation projects to be portable and
23 transferable. For purposes of this subparagraph (N),
24 "portable" means that subscriptions may be retained by the
25 subscriber even if the subscriber relocates or changes its
26 address within the same utility service territory; and

HB3249 Enrolled- 327 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 "transferable" means that a subscriber may assign or sell
2 subscriptions to another person within the same utility
3 service territory.
4 Electric utilities shall provide a monetary credit to a
5 subscriber's subsequent bill for service for the
6 proportional output of a community renewable generation
7 project attributable to that subscriber as specified in
8 Section 16-107.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
9 The Agency shall purchase renewable energy credits
10 from subscribed shares of photovoltaic community renewable
11 generation projects through the Adjustable Block program
12 described in subparagraph (K) of this paragraph (1) or
13 through the Illinois Solar for All Program described in
14 Section 1-56 of this Act. The electric utility shall
15 purchase any unsubscribed energy from community renewable
16 generation projects that are Qualifying Facilities ("QF")
17 under the electric utility's tariff for purchasing the
18 output from QFs under Public Utilities Regulatory Policies
19 Act of 1978.
20 The owners of and any subscribers to a community
21 renewable generation project shall not be considered
22 public utilities or alternative retail electricity
23 suppliers under the Public Utilities Act solely as a result
24 of their interest in or subscription to a community
25 renewable generation project and shall not be required to
26 become an alternative retail electric supplier by

HB3249 Enrolled- 328 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 participating in a community renewable generation project
2 with a public utility.
3 (O) For the delivery year beginning June 1, 2018, the
4 long-term renewable resources procurement plan required by
5 this subsection (c) shall provide for the Agency to procure
6 contracts to continue offering the Illinois Solar for All
7 Program described in subsection (b) of Section 1-56 of this
8 Act, and the contracts approved by the Commission shall be
9 executed by the utilities that are subject to this
10 subsection (c). The long-term renewable resources
11 procurement plan shall allocate 5% of the funds available
12 under the plan for the applicable delivery year, or
13 $10,000,000 per delivery year, whichever is greater, to
14 fund the programs, and the plan shall determine the amount
15 of funding to be apportioned to the programs identified in
16 subsection (b) of Section 1-56 of this Act; provided that
17 for the delivery years beginning June 1, 2017, June 1,
18 2021, and June 1, 2025, the long-term renewable resources
19 procurement plan shall allocate 10% of the funds available
20 under the plan for the applicable delivery year, or
21 $20,000,000 per delivery year, whichever is greater, and
22 $10,000,000 of such funds in such year shall be used by an
23 electric utility that serves more than 3,000,000 retail
24 customers in the State to implement a Commission-approved
25 plan under Section 16-108.12 of the Public Utilities Act.
26 In making the determinations required under this

HB3249 Enrolled- 329 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 subparagraph (O), the Commission shall consider the
2 experience and performance under the programs and any
3 evaluation reports. The Commission shall also provide for
4 an independent evaluation of those programs on a periodic
5 basis that are funded under this subparagraph (O).
6 (2) (Blank).
7 (3) (Blank).
8 (4) The electric utility shall retire all renewable
9 energy credits used to comply with the standard.
10 (5) Beginning with the 2010 delivery year and ending
11 June 1, 2017, an electric utility subject to this
12 subsection (c) shall apply the lesser of the maximum
13 alternative compliance payment rate or the most recent
14 estimated alternative compliance payment rate for its
15 service territory for the corresponding compliance period,
16 established pursuant to subsection (d) of Section 16-115D
17 of the Public Utilities Act to its retail customers that
18 take service pursuant to the electric utility's hourly
19 pricing tariff or tariffs. The electric utility shall
20 retain all amounts collected as a result of the application
21 of the alternative compliance payment rate or rates to such
22 customers, and, beginning in 2011, the utility shall
23 include in the information provided under item (1) of
24 subsection (d) of Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities
25 Act the amounts collected under the alternative compliance
26 payment rate or rates for the prior year ending May 31.

HB3249 Enrolled- 330 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Notwithstanding any limitation on the procurement of
2 renewable energy resources imposed by item (2) of this
3 subsection (c), the Agency shall increase its spending on
4 the purchase of renewable energy resources to be procured
5 by the electric utility for the next plan year by an amount
6 equal to the amounts collected by the utility under the
7 alternative compliance payment rate or rates in the prior
8 year ending May 31.
9 (6) The electric utility shall be entitled to recover
10 all of its costs associated with the procurement of
11 renewable energy credits under plans approved under this
12 Section and Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
13 These costs shall include associated reasonable expenses
14 for implementing the procurement programs, including, but
15 not limited to, the costs of administering and evaluating
16 the Adjustable Block program, through an automatic
17 adjustment clause tariff in accordance with subsection (k)
18 of Section 16-108 of the Public Utilities Act.
19 (7) Renewable energy credits procured from new

21 generation devices under this Section after June 1, 2017
22 (the effective date of Public Act 99-906) must be procured
23 from devices installed by a qualified person in compliance
24 with the requirements of Section 16-128A of the Public
25 Utilities Act and any rules or regulations adopted
26 thereunder.

HB3249 Enrolled- 331 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 In meeting the renewable energy requirements of this
2 subsection (c), to the extent feasible and consistent with
3 State and federal law, the renewable energy credit
4 procurements, Adjustable Block solar program, and
5 community renewable generation program shall provide
6 employment opportunities for all segments of the
7 population and workforce, including minority-owned and
8 female-owned business enterprises, and shall not,
9 consistent with State and federal law, discriminate based
10 on race or socioeconomic status.
11 (d) Clean coal portfolio standard.
12 (1) The procurement plans shall include electricity
13 generated using clean coal. Each utility shall enter into
14 one or more sourcing agreements with the initial clean coal
15 facility, as provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection
16 (d), covering electricity generated by the initial clean
17 coal facility representing at least 5% of each utility's
18 total supply to serve the load of eligible retail customers
19 in 2015 and each year thereafter, as described in paragraph
20 (3) of this subsection (d), subject to the limits specified
21 in paragraph (2) of this subsection (d). It is the goal of
22 the State that by January 1, 2025, 25% of the electricity
23 used in the State shall be generated by cost-effective
24 clean coal facilities. For purposes of this subsection (d),
25 "cost-effective" means that the expenditures pursuant to
26 such sourcing agreements do not cause the limit stated in

HB3249 Enrolled- 332 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 paragraph (2) of this subsection (d) to be exceeded and do
2 not exceed cost-based benchmarks, which shall be developed
3 to assess all expenditures pursuant to such sourcing
4 agreements covering electricity generated by clean coal
5 facilities, other than the initial clean coal facility, by
6 the procurement administrator, in consultation with the
7 Commission staff, Agency staff, and the procurement
8 monitor and shall be subject to Commission review and
9 approval.
10 A utility party to a sourcing agreement shall
11 immediately retire any emission credits that it receives in
12 connection with the electricity covered by such agreement.
13 Utilities shall maintain adequate records documenting
14 the purchases under the sourcing agreement to comply with
15 this subsection (d) and shall file an accounting with the
16 load forecast that must be filed with the Agency by July 15
17 of each year, in accordance with subsection (d) of Section
18 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
19 A utility shall be deemed to have complied with the
20 clean coal portfolio standard specified in this subsection
21 (d) if the utility enters into a sourcing agreement as
22 required by this subsection (d).
23 (2) For purposes of this subsection (d), the required
24 execution of sourcing agreements with the initial clean
25 coal facility for a particular year shall be measured as a
26 percentage of the actual amount of electricity

HB3249 Enrolled- 333 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (megawatt-hours) supplied by the electric utility to
2 eligible retail customers in the planning year ending
3 immediately prior to the agreement's execution. For
4 purposes of this subsection (d), the amount paid per
5 kilowatthour means the total amount paid for electric
6 service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For purposes
7 of this subsection (d), the total amount paid for electric
8 service includes without limitation amounts paid for
9 supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges and add-on
10 taxes.
11 Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
12 (d), the total amount paid under sourcing agreements with
13 clean coal facilities pursuant to the procurement plan for
14 any given year shall be reduced by an amount necessary to
15 limit the annual estimated average net increase due to the
16 costs of these resources included in the amounts paid by
17 eligible retail customers in connection with electric
18 service to:
19 (A) in 2010, no more than 0.5% of the amount paid
20 per kilowatthour by those customers during the year
21 ending May 31, 2009;
22 (B) in 2011, the greater of an additional 0.5% of
23 the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
24 during the year ending May 31, 2010 or 1% of the amount
25 paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
26 year ending May 31, 2009;

HB3249 Enrolled- 334 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (C) in 2012, the greater of an additional 0.5% of
2 the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
3 during the year ending May 31, 2011 or 1.5% of the
4 amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers during
5 the year ending May 31, 2009;
6 (D) in 2013, the greater of an additional 0.5% of
7 the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
8 during the year ending May 31, 2012 or 2% of the amount
9 paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
10 year ending May 31, 2009; and
11 (E) thereafter, the total amount paid under
12 sourcing agreements with clean coal facilities
13 pursuant to the procurement plan for any single year
14 shall be reduced by an amount necessary to limit the
15 estimated average net increase due to the cost of these
16 resources included in the amounts paid by eligible
17 retail customers in connection with electric service
18 to no more than the greater of (i) 2.015% of the amount
19 paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
20 year ending May 31, 2009 or (ii) the incremental amount
21 per kilowatthour paid for these resources in 2013.
22 These requirements may be altered only as provided by
23 statute.
24 No later than June 30, 2015, the Commission shall
25 review the limitation on the total amount paid under
26 sourcing agreements, if any, with clean coal facilities

HB3249 Enrolled- 335 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 pursuant to this subsection (d) and report to the General
2 Assembly its findings as to whether that limitation unduly
3 constrains the amount of electricity generated by
4 cost-effective clean coal facilities that is covered by
5 sourcing agreements.
6 (3) Initial clean coal facility. In order to promote
7 development of clean coal facilities in Illinois, each
8 electric utility subject to this Section shall execute a
9 sourcing agreement to source electricity from a proposed
10 clean coal facility in Illinois (the "initial clean coal
11 facility") that will have a nameplate capacity of at least
12 500 MW when commercial operation commences, that has a
13 final Clean Air Act permit on June 1, 2009 (the effective
14 date of Public Act 95-1027), and that will meet the
15 definition of clean coal facility in Section 1-10 of this
16 Act when commercial operation commences. The sourcing
17 agreements with this initial clean coal facility shall be
18 subject to both approval of the initial clean coal facility
19 by the General Assembly and satisfaction of the
20 requirements of paragraph (4) of this subsection (d) and
21 shall be executed within 90 days after any such approval by
22 the General Assembly. The Agency and the Commission shall
23 have authority to inspect all books and records associated
24 with the initial clean coal facility during the term of
25 such a sourcing agreement. A utility's sourcing agreement
26 for electricity produced by the initial clean coal facility

HB3249 Enrolled- 336 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 shall include:
2 (A) a formula contractual price (the "contract
3 price") approved pursuant to paragraph (4) of this
4 subsection (d), which shall:
5 (i) be determined using a cost of service
6 methodology employing either a level or deferred
7 capital recovery component, based on a capital
8 structure consisting of 45% equity and 55% debt,
9 and a return on equity as may be approved by the
10 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which in any
11 case may not exceed the lower of 11.5% or the rate
12 of return approved by the General Assembly
13 pursuant to paragraph (4) of this subsection (d);
14 and
15 (ii) provide that all miscellaneous net
16 revenue, including but not limited to net revenue
17 from the sale of emission allowances, if any,
18 substitute natural gas, if any, grants or other
19 support provided by the State of Illinois or the
20 United States Government, firm transmission
21 rights, if any, by-products produced by the
22 facility, energy or capacity derived from the
23 facility and not covered by a sourcing agreement
24 pursuant to paragraph (3) of this subsection (d) or
25 item (5) of subsection (d) of Section 16-115 of the
26 Public Utilities Act, whether generated from the

HB3249 Enrolled- 337 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 synthesis gas derived from coal, from SNG, or from
2 natural gas, shall be credited against the revenue
3 requirement for this initial clean coal facility;
4 (B) power purchase provisions, which shall:
5 (i) provide that the utility party to such
6 sourcing agreement shall pay the contract price
7 for electricity delivered under such sourcing
8 agreement;
9 (ii) require delivery of electricity to the
10 regional transmission organization market of the
11 utility that is party to such sourcing agreement;
12 (iii) require the utility party to such
13 sourcing agreement to buy from the initial clean
14 coal facility in each hour an amount of energy
15 equal to all clean coal energy made available from
16 the initial clean coal facility during such hour
17 times a fraction, the numerator of which is such
18 utility's retail market sales of electricity
19 (expressed in kilowatthours sold) in the State
20 during the prior calendar month and the
21 denominator of which is the total retail market
22 sales of electricity (expressed in kilowatthours
23 sold) in the State by utilities during such prior
24 month and the sales of electricity (expressed in
25 kilowatthours sold) in the State by alternative

20 cost-based wholesale power contracts;
21 (iv) permit the Illinois Power Agency to
22 assume ownership of the initial clean coal
23 facility, without monetary consideration and
24 otherwise on reasonable terms acceptable to the
25 Agency, if the Agency so requests no less than 3
26 years prior to the end of the stated contract term;

HB3249 Enrolled- 341 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (v) require the owner of the initial clean coal
2 facility to provide documentation to the
3 Commission each year, starting in the facility's
4 first year of commercial operation, accurately
5 reporting the quantity of carbon emissions from
6 the facility that have been captured and
7 sequestered and report any quantities of carbon
8 released from the site or sites at which carbon
9 emissions were sequestered in prior years, based
10 on continuous monitoring of such sites. If, in any
11 year after the first year of commercial operation,
12 the owner of the facility fails to demonstrate that
13 the initial clean coal facility captured and
14 sequestered at least 50% of the total carbon
15 emissions that the facility would otherwise emit
16 or that sequestration of emissions from prior
17 years has failed, resulting in the release of
18 carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the owner of
19 the facility must offset excess emissions. Any
20 such carbon offsets must be permanent, additional,
21 verifiable, real, located within the State of
22 Illinois, and legally and practicably enforceable.
23 The cost of such offsets for the facility that are
24 not recoverable shall not exceed $15 million in any
25 given year. No costs of any such purchases of
26 carbon offsets may be recovered from a utility or

HB3249 Enrolled- 342 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 its customers. All carbon offsets purchased for
2 this purpose and any carbon emission credits
3 associated with sequestration of carbon from the
4 facility must be permanently retired. The initial
5 clean coal facility shall not forfeit its
6 designation as a clean coal facility if the
7 facility fails to fully comply with the applicable
8 carbon sequestration requirements in any given
9 year, provided the requisite offsets are
10 purchased. However, the Attorney General, on
11 behalf of the People of the State of Illinois, may
12 specifically enforce the facility's sequestration
13 requirement and the other terms of this contract
14 provision. Compliance with the sequestration
15 requirements and offset purchase requirements
16 specified in paragraph (3) of this subsection (d)
17 shall be reviewed annually by an independent
18 expert retained by the owner of the initial clean
19 coal facility, with the advance written approval
20 of the Attorney General. The Commission may, in the
21 course of the review specified in item (vii),
22 reduce the allowable return on equity for the
23 facility if the facility willfully fails to comply
24 with the carbon capture and sequestration
25 requirements set forth in this item (v);
26 (vi) include limits on, and accordingly

HB3249 Enrolled- 343 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 provide for modification of, the amount the
2 utility is required to source under the sourcing
3 agreement consistent with paragraph (2) of this
4 subsection (d);
5 (vii) require Commission review: (1) to
6 determine the justness, reasonableness, and
7 prudence of the inputs to the formula referenced in
8 subparagraphs (A)(i) through (A)(iii) of paragraph
9 (3) of this subsection (d), prior to an adjustment
10 in those inputs including, without limitation, the
11 capital structure and return on equity, fuel
12 costs, and other operations and maintenance costs
13 and (2) to approve the costs to be passed through
14 to customers under the sourcing agreement by which
15 the utility satisfies its statutory obligations.
16 Commission review shall occur no less than every 3
17 years, regardless of whether any adjustments have
18 been proposed, and shall be completed within 9
19 months;
20 (viii) limit the utility's obligation to such
21 amount as the utility is allowed to recover through
22 tariffs filed with the Commission, provided that
23 neither the clean coal facility nor the utility
24 waives any right to assert federal pre-emption or
25 any other argument in response to a purported
26 disallowance of recovery costs;

HB3249 Enrolled- 344 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (ix) limit the utility's or alternative retail
2 electric supplier's obligation to incur any
3 liability until such time as the facility is in
4 commercial operation and generating power and
5 energy and such power and energy is being delivered
6 to the facility busbar;
7 (x) provide that the owner or owners of the
8 initial clean coal facility, which is the
9 counterparty to such sourcing agreement, shall
10 have the right from time to time to elect whether
11 the obligations of the utility party thereto shall
12 be governed by the power purchase provisions or the
13 contract for differences provisions;
14 (xi) append documentation showing that the
15 formula rate and contract, insofar as they relate
16 to the power purchase provisions, have been
17 approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory
18 Commission pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal
19 Power Act;
20 (xii) provide that any changes to the terms of
21 the contract, insofar as such changes relate to the
22 power purchase provisions, are subject to review
23 under the public interest standard applied by the
24 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pursuant to
25 Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act; and
26 (xiii) conform with customary lender

1 requirements in power purchase agreements used as
2 the basis for financing non-utility generators.
3 (4) Effective date of sourcing agreements with the
4 initial clean coal facility. Any proposed sourcing
5 agreement with the initial clean coal facility shall not
6 become effective unless the following reports are prepared
7 and submitted and authorizations and approvals obtained:
8 (i) Facility cost report. The owner of the initial
9 clean coal facility shall submit to the Commission, the
10 Agency, and the General Assembly a front-end
11 engineering and design study, a facility cost report,
12 method of financing (including but not limited to
13 structure and associated costs), and an operating and
14 maintenance cost quote for the facility (collectively
15 "facility cost report"), which shall be prepared in
16 accordance with the requirements of this paragraph (4)
17 of subsection (d) of this Section, and shall provide
18 the Commission and the Agency access to the work
19 papers, relied upon documents, and any other backup
20 documentation related to the facility cost report.
21 (ii) Commission report. Within 6 months following
22 receipt of the facility cost report, the Commission, in
23 consultation with the Agency, shall submit a report to

26 not be limited to, a comparison of the costs associated

HB3249 Enrolled- 346 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 with electricity generated by the initial clean coal
2 facility to the costs associated with electricity
3 generated by other types of generation facilities, an
4 analysis of the rate impacts on residential and small
5 business customers over the life of the sourcing
6 agreements, and an analysis of the likelihood that the
7 initial clean coal facility will commence commercial
8 operation by and be delivering power to the facility's
9 busbar by 2016. To assist in the preparation of its
10 report, the Commission, in consultation with the
11 Agency, may hire one or more experts or consultants,
12 the costs of which shall be paid for by the owner of
13 the initial clean coal facility. The Commission and
14 Agency may begin the process of selecting such experts
15 or consultants prior to receipt of the facility cost
16 report.
17 (iii) General Assembly approval. The proposed
18 sourcing agreements shall not take effect unless,
19 based on the facility cost report and the Commission's
20 report, the General Assembly enacts authorizing
21 legislation approving (A) the projected price, stated
22 in cents per kilowatthour, to be charged for
23 electricity generated by the initial clean coal
24 facility, (B) the projected impact on residential and
25 small business customers' bills over the life of the
26 sourcing agreements, and (C) the maximum allowable

HB3249 Enrolled- 347 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 return on equity for the project; and
2 (iv) Commission review. If the General Assembly
3 enacts authorizing legislation pursuant to
4 subparagraph (iii) approving a sourcing agreement, the
5 Commission shall, within 90 days of such enactment,
6 complete a review of such sourcing agreement. During
7 such time period, the Commission shall implement any
8 directive of the General Assembly, resolve any
9 disputes between the parties to the sourcing agreement
10 concerning the terms of such agreement, approve the
11 form of such agreement, and issue an order finding that
12 the sourcing agreement is prudent and reasonable.
13 The facility cost report shall be prepared as follows:
14 (A) The facility cost report shall be prepared by
15 duly licensed engineering and construction firms
16 detailing the estimated capital costs payable to one or
17 more contractors or suppliers for the engineering,
18 procurement and construction of the components
19 comprising the initial clean coal facility and the
20 estimated costs of operation and maintenance of the
21 facility. The facility cost report shall include:
22 (i) an estimate of the capital cost of the core
23 plant based on one or more front end engineering
24 and design studies for the gasification island and
25 related facilities. The core plant shall include
26 all civil, structural, mechanical, electrical,

HB3249 Enrolled- 348 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 control, and safety systems.
2 (ii) an estimate of the capital cost of the
3 balance of the plant, including any capital costs
4 associated with sequestration of carbon dioxide
5 emissions and all interconnects and interfaces
6 required to operate the facility, such as
7 transmission of electricity, construction or
8 backfeed power supply, pipelines to transport
9 substitute natural gas or carbon dioxide, potable
10 water supply, natural gas supply, water supply,
11 water discharge, landfill, access roads, and coal
12 delivery.
13 The quoted construction costs shall be expressed
14 in nominal dollars as of the date that the quote is
15 prepared and shall include capitalized financing costs
16 during construction, taxes, insurance, and other
17 owner's costs, and an assumed escalation in materials
18 and labor beyond the date as of which the construction
19 cost quote is expressed.
20 (B) The front end engineering and design study for
21 the gasification island and the cost study for the
22 balance of plant shall include sufficient design work
23 to permit quantification of major categories of
24 materials, commodities and labor hours, and receipt of

26 construct and operate the clean coal facility.

HB3249 Enrolled- 349 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (C) The facility cost report shall also include an
2 operating and maintenance cost quote that will provide
3 the estimated cost of delivered fuel, personnel,
4 maintenance contracts, chemicals, catalysts,
5 consumables, spares, and other fixed and variable
6 operations and maintenance costs. The delivered fuel
7 cost estimate will be provided by a recognized third
8 party expert or experts in the fuel and transportation
9 industries. The balance of the operating and
10 maintenance cost quote, excluding delivered fuel
11 costs, will be developed based on the inputs provided
12 by duly licensed engineering and construction firms
13 performing the construction cost quote, potential
14 vendors under long-term service agreements and plant
15 operating agreements, or recognized third party plant
16 operator or operators.
17 The operating and maintenance cost quote
18 (including the cost of the front end engineering and
19 design study) shall be expressed in nominal dollars as
20 of the date that the quote is prepared and shall
21 include taxes, insurance, and other owner's costs, and

9 and the operating and maintenance cost quote will be
10 reimbursed through Coal Development Bonds.
11 (5) Re-powering and retrofitting coal-fired power
12 plants previously owned by Illinois utilities to qualify as
13 clean coal facilities. During the 2009 procurement
14 planning process and thereafter, the Agency and the
15 Commission shall consider sourcing agreements covering
16 electricity generated by power plants that were previously
17 owned by Illinois utilities and that have been or will be
18 converted into clean coal facilities, as defined by Section
19 1-10 of this Act. Pursuant to such procurement planning
20 process, the owners of such facilities may propose to the
21 Agency sourcing agreements with utilities and alternative
22 retail electric suppliers required to comply with
23 subsection (d) of this Section and item (5) of subsection
24 (d) of Section 16-115 of the Public Utilities Act, covering
25 electricity generated by such facilities. In the case of
26 sourcing agreements that are power purchase agreements,

HB3249 Enrolled- 351 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the contract price for electricity sales shall be
2 established on a cost of service basis. In the case of
3 sourcing agreements that are contracts for differences,
4 the contract price from which the reference price is
5 subtracted shall be established on a cost of service basis.
6 The Agency and the Commission may approve any such utility
7 sourcing agreements that do not exceed cost-based
8 benchmarks developed by the procurement administrator, in
9 consultation with the Commission staff, Agency staff and
10 the procurement monitor, subject to Commission review and
11 approval. The Commission shall have authority to inspect
12 all books and records associated with these clean coal
13 facilities during the term of any such contract.
14 (6) Costs incurred under this subsection (d) or
15 pursuant to a contract entered into under this subsection
16 (d) shall be deemed prudently incurred and reasonable in
17 amount and the electric utility shall be entitled to full
18 cost recovery pursuant to the tariffs filed with the
19 Commission.
20 (d-5) Zero emission standard.
21 (1) Beginning with the delivery year commencing on June
22 1, 2017, the Agency shall, for electric utilities that
23 serve at least 100,000 retail customers in this State,
24 procure contracts with zero emission facilities that are
25 reasonably capable of generating cost-effective zero
26 emission credits in an amount approximately equal to 16% of

HB3249 Enrolled- 352 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the actual amount of electricity delivered by each electric
2 utility to retail customers in the State during calendar
3 year 2014. For an electric utility serving fewer than
4 100,000 retail customers in this State that requested,
5 under Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act, that
6 the Agency procure power and energy for all or a portion of
7 the utility's Illinois load for the delivery year
8 commencing June 1, 2016, the Agency shall procure contracts
9 with zero emission facilities that are reasonably capable
10 of generating cost-effective zero emission credits in an
11 amount approximately equal to 16% of the portion of power
12 and energy to be procured by the Agency for the utility.
13 The duration of the contracts procured under this
14 subsection (d-5) shall be for a term of 10 years ending May
15 31, 2027. The quantity of zero emission credits to be
16 procured under the contracts shall be all of the zero
17 emission credits generated by the zero emission facility in
18 each delivery year; however, if the zero emission facility
19 is owned by more than one entity, then the quantity of zero
20 emission credits to be procured under the contracts shall
21 be the amount of zero emission credits that are generated
22 from the portion of the zero emission facility that is
23 owned by the winning supplier.
24 The 16% value identified in this paragraph (1) is the
25 average of the percentage targets in subparagraph (B) of
26 paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of this Section 1-75 of

HB3249 Enrolled- 353 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 this Act for the 5 delivery years beginning June 1, 2017.
2 The procurement process shall be subject to the
3 following provisions:
4 (A) Those zero emission facilities that intend to
5 participate in the procurement shall submit to the
6 Agency the following eligibility information for each
7 zero emission facility on or before the date
8 established by the Agency:
9 (i) the in-service date and remaining useful
10 life of the zero emission facility;
11 (ii) the amount of power generated annually
12 for each of the years 2005 through 2015, and the
13 projected zero emission credits to be generated
14 over the remaining useful life of the zero emission
15 facility, which shall be used to determine the
16 capability of each facility;
17 (iii) the annual zero emission facility cost
18 projections, expressed on a per megawatthour
19 basis, over the next 6 delivery years, which shall
20 include the following: operation and maintenance
21 expenses; fully allocated overhead costs, which
22 shall be allocated using the methodology developed
23 by the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations;
24 fuel expenditures; non-fuel capital expenditures;
25 spent fuel expenditures; a return on working
26 capital; the cost of operational and market risks

HB3249 Enrolled- 354 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 that could be avoided by ceasing operation; and any
2 other costs necessary for continued operations,
3 provided that "necessary" means, for purposes of
4 this item (iii), that the costs could reasonably be
5 avoided only by ceasing operations of the zero
6 emission facility; and
7 (iv) a commitment to continue operating, for
8 the duration of the contract or contracts executed
9 under the procurement held under this subsection
10 (d-5), the zero emission facility that produces
11 the zero emission credits to be procured in the
12 procurement.
13 The information described in item (iii) of this
14 subparagraph (A) may be submitted on a confidential
15 basis and shall be treated and maintained by the
16 Agency, the procurement administrator, and the
17 Commission as confidential and proprietary and exempt
18 from disclosure under subparagraphs (a) and (g) of
19 paragraph (1) of Section 7 of the Freedom of
20 Information Act. The Office of Attorney General shall
21 have access to, and maintain the confidentiality of,
22 such information pursuant to Section 6.5 of the
23 Attorney General Act.
24 (B) The price for each zero emission credit
25 procured under this subsection (d-5) for each delivery
26 year shall be in an amount that equals the Social Cost

HB3249 Enrolled- 355 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 of Carbon, expressed on a price per megawatthour basis.
2 However, to ensure that the procurement remains
3 affordable to retail customers in this State if
4 electricity prices increase, the price in an
5 applicable delivery year shall be reduced below the
6 Social Cost of Carbon by the amount ("Price
7 Adjustment") by which the market price index for the
8 applicable delivery year exceeds the baseline market
9 price index for the consecutive 12-month period ending
10 May 31, 2016. If the Price Adjustment is greater than
11 or equal to the Social Cost of Carbon in an applicable
12 delivery year, then no payments shall be due in that
13 delivery year. The components of this calculation are
14 defined as follows:
15 (i) Social Cost of Carbon: The Social Cost of
16 Carbon is $16.50 per megawatthour, which is based
17 on the U.S. Interagency Working Group on Social
18 Cost of Carbon's price in the August 2016 Technical
19 Update using a 3% discount rate, adjusted for
20 inflation for each year of the program. Beginning
21 with the delivery year commencing June 1, 2023, the
22 price per megawatthour shall increase by $1 per
23 megawatthour, and continue to increase by an
24 additional $1 per megawatthour each delivery year
25 thereafter.
26 (ii) Baseline market price index: The baseline

HB3249 Enrolled- 356 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 market price index for the consecutive 12-month
2 period ending May 31, 2016 is $31.40 per
3 megawatthour, which is based on the sum of (aa) the
4 average day-ahead energy price across all hours of
5 such 12-month period at the PJM Interconnection
6 LLC Northern Illinois Hub, (bb) 50% multiplied by
7 the Base Residual Auction, or its successor,
8 capacity price for the rest of the RTO zone group
9 determined by PJM Interconnection LLC, divided by
10 24 hours per day, and (cc) 50% multiplied by the
11 Planning Resource Auction, or its successor,
12 capacity price for Zone 4 determined by the
13 Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc.,
14 divided by 24 hours per day.
15 (iii) Market price index: The market price
16 index for a delivery year shall be the sum of
17 projected energy prices and projected capacity
18 prices determined as follows:
19 (aa) Projected energy prices: the
20 projected energy prices for the applicable
21 delivery year shall be calculated once for the
22 year using the forward market price for the PJM
23 Interconnection, LLC Northern Illinois Hub.
24 The forward market price shall be calculated as
25 follows: the energy forward prices for each
26 month of the applicable delivery year averaged

HB3249 Enrolled- 357 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 for each trade date during the calendar year
2 immediately preceding that delivery year to
3 produce a single energy forward price for the
4 delivery year. The forward market price
5 calculation shall use data published by the
6 Intercontinental Exchange, or its successor.
7 (bb) Projected capacity prices:
8 (I) For the delivery years commencing
9 June 1, 2017, June 1, 2018, and June 1,
10 2019, the projected capacity price shall
11 be equal to the sum of (1) 50% multiplied
12 by the Base Residual Auction, or its
13 successor, price for the rest of the RTO
14 zone group as determined by PJM
15 Interconnection LLC, divided by 24 hours
16 per day and, (2) 50% multiplied by the
17 resource auction price determined in the
18 resource auction administered by the
19 Midcontinent Independent System Operator,
20 Inc., in which the largest percentage of
21 load cleared for Local Resource Zone 4,
22 divided by 24 hours per day, and where such
23 price is determined by the Midcontinent
24 Independent System Operator, Inc.
25 (II) For the delivery year commencing
26 June 1, 2020, and each year thereafter, the

HB3249 Enrolled- 358 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 projected capacity price shall be equal to
2 the sum of (1) 50% multiplied by the Base
3 Residual Auction, or its successor, price
4 for the ComEd zone as determined by PJM
5 Interconnection LLC, divided by 24 hours
6 per day, and (2) 50% multiplied by the
7 resource auction price determined in the
8 resource auction administered by the
9 Midcontinent Independent System Operator,
10 Inc., in which the largest percentage of
11 load cleared for Local Resource Zone 4,
12 divided by 24 hours per day, and where such
13 price is determined by the Midcontinent
14 Independent System Operator, Inc.
15 For purposes of this subsection (d-5):
16 "Rest of the RTO" and "ComEd Zone" shall have
17 the meaning ascribed to them by PJM
18 Interconnection, LLC.
19 "RTO" means regional transmission
20 organization.
21 (C) No later than 45 days after June 1, 2017 (the
22 effective date of Public Act 99-906), the Agency shall
23 publish its proposed zero emission standard
24 procurement plan. The plan shall be consistent with the
25 provisions of this paragraph (1) and shall provide that
26 winning bids shall be selected based on public interest

HB3249 Enrolled- 359 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 criteria that include, but are not limited to,
2 minimizing carbon dioxide emissions that result from
3 electricity consumed in Illinois and minimizing sulfur
4 dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter
5 emissions that adversely affect the citizens of this
6 State. In particular, the selection of winning bids
7 shall take into account the incremental environmental
8 benefits resulting from the procurement, such as any
9 existing environmental benefits that are preserved by
10 the procurements held under Public Act 99-906 and would
11 cease to exist if the procurements were not held,
12 including the preservation of zero emission
13 facilities. The plan shall also describe in detail how
14 each public interest factor shall be considered and
15 weighted in the bid selection process to ensure that
16 the public interest criteria are applied to the
17 procurement and given full effect.
18 For purposes of developing the plan, the Agency
19 shall consider any reports issued by a State agency,
20 board, or commission under House Resolution 1146 of the
21 98th General Assembly and paragraph (4) of subsection
22 (d) of this Section 1-75 of this Act, as well as
23 publicly available analyses and studies performed by
24 or for regional transmission organizations that serve
25 the State and their independent market monitors.
26 Upon publishing of the zero emission standard

HB3249 Enrolled- 360 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 procurement plan, copies of the plan shall be posted
2 and made publicly available on the Agency's website.
3 All interested parties shall have 10 days following the
4 date of posting to provide comment to the Agency on the
5 plan. All comments shall be posted to the Agency's
6 website. Following the end of the comment period, but
7 no more than 60 days later than June 1, 2017 (the
8 effective date of Public Act 99-906), the Agency shall
9 revise the plan as necessary based on the comments
10 received and file its zero emission standard
11 procurement plan with the Commission.
12 If the Commission determines that the plan will
13 result in the procurement of cost-effective zero
14 emission credits, then the Commission shall, after
15 notice and hearing, but no later than 45 days after the
16 Agency filed the plan, approve the plan or approve with
17 modification. For purposes of this subsection (d-5),
18 "cost effective" means the projected costs of
19 procuring zero emission credits from zero emission
20 facilities do not cause the limit stated in paragraph
21 (2) of this subsection to be exceeded.
22 (C-5) As part of the Commission's review and
23 acceptance or rejection of the procurement results,
24 the Commission shall, in its public notice of
25 successful bidders:
26 (i) identify how the winning bids satisfy the

HB3249 Enrolled- 361 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 public interest criteria described in subparagraph
2 (C) of this paragraph (1) of minimizing carbon
3 dioxide emissions that result from electricity
4 consumed in Illinois and minimizing sulfur
5 dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter
6 emissions that adversely affect the citizens of
7 this State;
8 (ii) specifically address how the selection of
9 winning bids takes into account the incremental
10 environmental benefits resulting from the
11 procurement, including any existing environmental
12 benefits that are preserved by the procurements
13 held under Public Act 99-906 and would have ceased
14 to exist if the procurements had not been held,
15 such as the preservation of zero emission
16 facilities;
17 (iii) quantify the environmental benefit of
18 preserving the resources identified in item (ii)
19 of this subparagraph (C-5), including the
20 following:
21 (aa) the value of avoided greenhouse gas
22 emissions measured as the product of the zero
23 emission facilities' output over the contract
24 term multiplied by the U.S. Environmental
25 Protection Agency eGrid subregion carbon
26 dioxide emission rate and the U.S. Interagency

3 discount rate, adjusted for inflation for each
4 delivery year; and
5 (bb) the costs of replacement with other
6 zero carbon dioxide resources, including wind
7 and photovoltaic, based upon the simple
8 average of the following:
9 (I) the price, or if there is more than
10 one price, the average of the prices, paid
11 for renewable energy credits from new
12 utility-scale wind projects in the
13 procurement events specified in item (i)
14 of subparagraph (G) of paragraph (1) of
15 subsection (c) of this Section 1-75 of this
16 Act; and
17 (II) the price, or if there is more
18 than one price, the average of the prices,
19 paid for renewable energy credits from new
20 utility-scale solar projects and
21 brownfield site photovoltaic projects in
22 the procurement events specified in item
23 (ii) of subparagraph (G) of paragraph (1)

1 distributed generation projects in
2 procurement events held under subsection
3 (c) of this Section 1-75 of this Act.
4 Each utility shall enter into binding contractual
5 arrangements with the winning suppliers.
6 The procurement described in this subsection
7 (d-5), including, but not limited to, the execution of
8 all contracts procured, shall be completed no later
9 than May 10, 2017. Based on the effective date of
10 Public Act 99-906, the Agency and Commission may, as
11 appropriate, modify the various dates and timelines
12 under this subparagraph and subparagraphs (C) and (D)
13 of this paragraph (1). The procurement and plan
14 approval processes required by this subsection (d-5)
15 shall be conducted in conjunction with the procurement
16 and plan approval processes required by subsection (c)
17 of this Section and Section 16-111.5 of the Public
18 Utilities Act, to the extent practicable.
19 Notwithstanding whether a procurement event is
20 conducted under Section 16-111.5 of the Public
21 Utilities Act, the Agency shall immediately initiate a
22 procurement process on June 1, 2017 (the effective date
23 of Public Act 99-906).
24 (D) Following the procurement event described in
25 this paragraph (1) and consistent with subparagraph
26 (B) of this paragraph (1), the Agency shall calculate

HB3249 Enrolled- 364 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the payments to be made under each contract for the
2 next delivery year based on the market price index for
3 that delivery year. The Agency shall publish the
4 payment calculations no later than May 25, 2017 and
5 every May 25 thereafter.
6 (E) Notwithstanding the requirements of this
7 subsection (d-5), the contracts executed under this
8 subsection (d-5) shall provide that the zero emission
9 facility may, as applicable, suspend or terminate
10 performance under the contracts in the following
11 instances:
12 (i) A zero emission facility shall be excused
13 from its performance under the contract for any
14 cause beyond the control of the resource,
15 including, but not restricted to, acts of God,
16 flood, drought, earthquake, storm, fire,
17 lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance
18 or disobedience, labor dispute, labor or material
19 shortage, sabotage, acts of public enemy,
20 explosions, orders, regulations or restrictions
21 imposed by governmental, military, or lawfully
22 established civilian authorities, which, in any of
23 the foregoing cases, by exercise of commercially
24 reasonable efforts the zero emission facility
25 could not reasonably have been expected to avoid,
26 and which, by the exercise of commercially

HB3249 Enrolled- 365 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 reasonable efforts, it has been unable to
2 overcome. In such event, the zero emission
3 facility shall be excused from performance for the
4 duration of the event, including, but not limited
5 to, delivery of zero emission credits, and no
6 payment shall be due to the zero emission facility
7 during the duration of the event.
8 (ii) A zero emission facility shall be
9 permitted to terminate the contract if legislation
10 is enacted into law by the General Assembly that
11 imposes or authorizes a new tax, special
12 assessment, or fee on the generation of
13 electricity, the ownership or leasehold of a
14 generating unit, or the privilege or occupation of
15 such generation, ownership, or leasehold of
16 generation units by a zero emission facility.
17 However, the provisions of this item (ii) do not
18 apply to any generally applicable tax, special
19 assessment or fee, or requirements imposed by
20 federal law.
21 (iii) A zero emission facility shall be
22 permitted to terminate the contract in the event
23 that the resource requires capital expenditures in
24 excess of $40,000,000 that were neither known nor
25 reasonably foreseeable at the time it executed the
26 contract and that a prudent owner or operator of

HB3249 Enrolled- 366 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 such resource would not undertake.
2 (iv) A zero emission facility shall be
3 permitted to terminate the contract in the event
4 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission terminates the
5 resource's license.
6 (F) If the zero emission facility elects to
7 terminate a contract under this subparagraph (E) , of
8 this paragraph (1), then the Commission shall reopen
9 the docket in which the Commission approved the zero
10 emission standard procurement plan under subparagraph
11 (C) of this paragraph (1) and, after notice and
12 hearing, enter an order acknowledging the contract
13 termination election if such termination is consistent
14 with the provisions of this subsection (d-5).
15 (2) For purposes of this subsection (d-5), the amount
16 paid per kilowatthour means the total amount paid for
17 electric service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For
18 purposes of this subsection (d-5), the total amount paid
19 for electric service includes, without limitation, amounts
20 paid for supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges,
21 and add-on taxes.
22 Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
23 (d-5), the contracts executed under this subsection (d-5)
24 shall provide that the total of zero emission credits
25 procured under a procurement plan shall be subject to the
26 limitations of this paragraph (2). For each delivery year,

HB3249 Enrolled- 367 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the contractual volume receiving payments in such year
2 shall be reduced for all retail customers based on the
3 amount necessary to limit the net increase that delivery
4 year to the costs of those credits included in the amounts
5 paid by eligible retail customers in connection with
6 electric service to no more than 1.65% of the amount paid
7 per kilowatthour by eligible retail customers during the
8 year ending May 31, 2009. The result of this computation
9 shall apply to and reduce the procurement for all retail
10 customers, and all those customers shall pay the same
11 single, uniform cents per kilowatthour charge under
12 subsection (k) of Section 16-108 of the Public Utilities
13 Act. To arrive at a maximum dollar amount of zero emission
14 credits to be paid for the particular delivery year, the
15 resulting per kilowatthour amount shall be applied to the
16 actual amount of kilowatthours of electricity delivered by
17 the electric utility in the delivery year immediately prior
18 to the procurement, to all retail customers in its service
19 territory. Unpaid contractual volume for any delivery year
20 shall be paid in any subsequent delivery year in which such
21 payments can be made without exceeding the amount specified
22 in this paragraph (2). The calculations required by this
23 paragraph (2) shall be made only once for each procurement
24 plan year. Once the determination as to the amount of zero
25 emission credits to be paid is made based on the
26 calculations set forth in this paragraph (2), no subsequent

HB3249 Enrolled- 368 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 rate impact determinations shall be made and no adjustments
2 to those contract amounts shall be allowed. All costs
3 incurred under those contracts and in implementing this
4 subsection (d-5) shall be recovered by the electric utility
5 as provided in this Section.
6 No later than June 30, 2019, the Commission shall
7 review the limitation on the amount of zero emission
8 credits procured under this subsection (d-5) and report to
9 the General Assembly its findings as to whether that
10 limitation unduly constrains the procurement of
11 cost-effective zero emission credits.
12 (3) Six years after the execution of a contract under
13 this subsection (d-5), the Agency shall determine whether
14 the actual zero emission credit payments received by the
15 supplier over the 6-year period exceed the Average ZEC
16 Payment. In addition, at the end of the term of a contract
17 executed under this subsection (d-5), or at the time, if
18 any, a zero emission facility's contract is terminated
19 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (1) of this subsection
20 (d-5), then the Agency shall determine whether the actual
21 zero emission credit payments received by the supplier over
22 the term of the contract exceed the Average ZEC Payment,
23 after taking into account any amounts previously credited
24 back to the utility under this paragraph (3). If the Agency
25 determines that the actual zero emission credit payments
26 received by the supplier over the relevant period exceed

HB3249 Enrolled- 369 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the Average ZEC Payment, then the supplier shall credit the
2 difference back to the utility. The amount of the credit
3 shall be remitted to the applicable electric utility no
4 later than 120 days after the Agency's determination, which
5 the utility shall reflect as a credit on its retail
6 customer bills as soon as practicable; however, the credit
7 remitted to the utility shall not exceed the total amount
8 of payments received by the facility under its contract.
9 For purposes of this Section, the Average ZEC Payment
10 shall be calculated by multiplying the quantity of zero
11 emission credits delivered under the contract times the
12 average contract price. The average contract price shall be
13 determined by subtracting the amount calculated under
14 subparagraph (B) of this paragraph (3) from the amount
15 calculated under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph (3), as
16 follows:
17 (A) The average of the Social Cost of Carbon, as
18 defined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of this
19 subsection (d-5), during the term of the contract.
20 (B) The average of the market price indices, as
21 defined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of this
22 subsection (d-5), during the term of the contract,
23 minus the baseline market price index, as defined in
24 subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of this subsection
25 (d-5).
26 If the subtraction yields a negative number, then the

HB3249 Enrolled- 370 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Average ZEC Payment shall be zero.
2 (4) Cost-effective zero emission credits procured from
3 zero emission facilities shall satisfy the applicable
4 definitions set forth in Section 1-10 of this Act.
5 (5) The electric utility shall retire all zero emission
6 credits used to comply with the requirements of this
7 subsection (d-5).
8 (6) Electric utilities shall be entitled to recover all
9 of the costs associated with the procurement of zero
10 emission credits through an automatic adjustment clause
11 tariff in accordance with subsection (k) and (m) of Section
12 16-108 of the Public Utilities Act, and the contracts
13 executed under this subsection (d-5) shall provide that the
14 utilities' payment obligations under such contracts shall
15 be reduced if an adjustment is required under subsection
16 (m) of Section 16-108 of the Public Utilities Act.
17 (7) This subsection (d-5) shall become inoperative on
18 January 1, 2028.
19 (e) The draft procurement plans are subject to public
20comment, as required by Section 16-111.5 of the Public
21Utilities Act.
22 (f) The Agency shall submit the final procurement plan to
23the Commission. The Agency shall revise a procurement plan if
24the Commission determines that it does not meet the standards
25set forth in Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
26 (g) The Agency shall assess fees to each affected utility

HB3249 Enrolled- 371 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1to recover the costs incurred in preparation of the annual
2procurement plan for the utility.
3 (h) The Agency shall assess fees to each bidder to recover
4the costs incurred in connection with a competitive procurement
5process.
6 (i) A renewable energy credit, carbon emission credit, or
7zero emission credit can only be used once to comply with a
8single portfolio or other standard as set forth in subsection
9(c), subsection (d), or subsection (d-5) of this Section,
10respectively. A renewable energy credit, carbon emission
11credit, or zero emission credit cannot be used to satisfy the
12requirements of more than one standard. If more than one type
13of credit is issued for the same megawatt hour of energy, only
14one credit can be used to satisfy the requirements of a single
15standard. After such use, the credit must be retired together
16with any other credits issued for the same megawatt hour of
17energy.

HB3249 Enrolled- 418 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1(in the event of purchase and subsequent resale), the Bond Sale
2Order may provide that such interest rates and prices may vary
3from time to time depending on criteria established in such
4Bond Sale Order, which criteria may include, without
5limitation, references to indices or variations in interest
6rates as may, in the judgment of a remarketing agent, be
7necessary to cause Variable Rate Bonds of such series to be
8remarketable from time to time at a price equal to their
9principal amount, and may provide for appointment of a bank,
10trust company, investment bank, or other financial institution
11to serve as remarketing agent in that connection. The Bond Sale
12Order may provide that alternative interest rates or provisions
13for establishing alternative interest rates, different
14security or claim priorities, or different call or amortization
15provisions will apply during such times as Variable Rate Bonds
16of any series are held by a person providing credit or
17liquidity enhancement arrangements for such Bonds as
18authorized in subsection (b) of this Section. The Bond Sale
19Order may also provide for such variable interest rates to be
20established pursuant to a process generally known as an auction

2limitation, bond or interest rate insurance or letters of
3credit, lines of credit, bond purchase contracts, or other
4arrangements whereby funds are made available to retire or
5purchase Bonds, thereby assuring the ability of owners of the
6Bonds to sell or redeem their Bonds. The State may enter into
7contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such
8arrangements, but only under circumstances where the Director
9of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget certifies
10that he or she reasonably expects the total interest paid or to
11be paid on the Bonds, together with the fees for the
12arrangements (being treated as if interest), would not, taken
13together, cause the Bonds to bear interest, calculated to their
14stated maturity, at a rate in excess of the rate that the Bonds
15would bear in the absence of such arrangements.
16 The State may, with respect to Bonds issued or anticipated
17to be issued, participate in and enter into arrangements with
18respect to interest rate protection or exchange agreements,
19guarantees, or financial futures contracts for the purpose of

21authority granted under this paragraph, however, shall not
22increase the principal amount of Bonds authorized to be issued
23by law. The arrangements may be executed and delivered by the

26constitute interest on the Bonds and shall be paid from the

5payments to be included in the calculation of interest required
6to be paid by the State.

9Office of Management and Budget shall adopt an interest rate
10risk management policy providing that the amount of the State's
11variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds shall not exceed
1220%. This policy shall remain in effect while any Bonds are
13outstanding and the issuance of Bonds shall be subject to the
14terms of such policy. The terms of this policy may be amended
15from time to time by the Director of the Governor's Office of
16Management and Budget but in no event shall any amendment cause
17the permitted level of the State's variable rate exposure with
18respect to Bonds to exceed 20%.

14 Sec. 45. Applicability.
15 (a) The requirements established under this Act apply to
16State grant-making agencies that make State and federal
17pass-through awards to non-federal entities. These
18requirements apply to all costs related to State and federal
19pass-through awards. The requirements established under this
20Act do not apply to private awards.
21 (a-5) Nothing in this Act shall prohibit the use of State
22funds for purposes of federal match or maintenance of effort.
23 (b) The terms and conditions of State, federal, and
24pass-through awards apply to subawards and subrecipients
25unless a particular Section of this Act or the terms and

HB3249 Enrolled- 465 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1conditions of the State or federal award specifically indicate
2otherwise. Non-federal entities shall comply with requirements
3of this Act regardless of whether the non-federal entity is a
4recipient or subrecipient of a State or federal pass-through
5award. Pass-through entities shall comply with the
6requirements set forth under the rules adopted under subsection
7(a) of Section 20 of this Act, but not to any requirements in
8this Act directed towards State or federal awarding agencies,
9unless the requirements of the State or federal awards indicate
10otherwise.
11 When a non-federal entity is awarded a cost-reimbursement
12contract, only 2 CFR 200.330 through 200.332 are incorporated
13by reference into the contract. However, when the Cost
14Accounting Standards are applicable to the contract, they take
15precedence over the requirements of this Act unless they are in
16conflict with Subpart F of 2 CFR 200. In addition, costs that
17are made unallowable under 10 U.S.C. 2324(e) and 41 U.S.C.
184304(a), as described in the Federal Acquisition Regulations,
19subpart 31.2 and subpart 31.603, are always unallowable. For
20requirements other than those covered in Subpart D of 2 CFR
21200.330 through 200.332, the terms of the contract and the
22Federal Acquisition Regulations apply.
23 With the exception of Subpart F of 2 CFR 200, which is
24required by the Single Audit Act, in any circumstances where
25the provisions of federal statutes or regulations differ from
26the provisions of this Act, the provision of the federal

HB3249 Enrolled- 466 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1statutes or regulations govern. This includes, for agreements
2with Indian tribes, the provisions of the Indian
3Self-Determination and Education and Assistance Act, as
4amended, 25 U.S.C. 450-458ddd-2.
5 (c) State grant-making agencies may apply subparts A
6through E of 2 CFR 200 to for-profit entities, foreign public
7entities, or foreign organizations, except where the awarding
8agency determines that the application of these subparts would
9be inconsistent with the international obligations of the
10United States or the statute or regulations of a foreign
11government.
12 (d) 2 CFR 200.101 specifies how 2 CFR 200 is applicable to
13different types of awards. The same applicability applies to
14this Act.
15 (e) (Blank). for
16 (f) For public institutions of higher education, the
17provisions of this Act apply only to awards funded by State
18appropriations and federal pass-through awards from a State
19agency to public institutions of higher education.
20 (g) Each grant-making agency shall enhance its processes to
21monitor and address noncompliance with reporting requirements
22and with program performance standards. Where applicable, the
23process may include a corrective action plan. The monitoring
24process shall include a plan for tracking and documenting
25performance-based contracting decisions.

8Assembly, between a State grant-making agency and a nonprofit

10receiving grant funds to maintain those funds in an account
11which is separate and distinct from any account holding
12non-grant funds. Except as otherwise provided in an agreement
13between a State grant-making agency and a nonprofit

HB3249 Enrolled- 471 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 that the individual deducted in computing adjusted

3 indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
4 December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
5 member of the same unitary business group but for the
6 fact that foreign person's business activity outside
7 the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
8 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
9 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
10 who would be a member of the same unitary business
11 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
12 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
13 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
14 required to apportion business income under different
15 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
16 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
17 extent that dividends were included in base income of
18 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
19 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
20 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
21 included in gross income under Sections 951 through 964
22 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in
23 gross income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue
24 Code) with respect to the stock of the same person to
25 whom the interest was paid, accrued, or incurred.
26 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

HB3249 Enrolled- 473 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
2 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
3 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
4 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
5 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
6 with respect to such interest; or
7 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
8 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
9 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
10 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
11 following:
12 (a) the person, during the same taxable
13 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
14 to a person that is not a related member, and
15 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
16 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
17 person did not have as a principal purpose the
18 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
19 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
20 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
21 terms; or
22 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
23 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
24 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
25 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
26 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is

HB3249 Enrolled- 474 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
2 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
3 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
4 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
5 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
6 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
7 to the application or use of an alternative method
8 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
9 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
10 Director from making any other adjustment
11 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
12 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
13 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
14 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
15 and such regulations provide methods and standards
16 by which the Department will utilize its authority
17 under Section 404 of this Act;
18 (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
19 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
20 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
21 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
22 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
23 foreign person who would be a member of the same
24 unitary business group but for the fact that the
25 foreign person's business activity outside the United
26 States is 80% or more of that person's total business

HB3249 Enrolled- 475 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
2 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
3 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
4 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
5 from being included in the unitary business group
6 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
7 business income under different subsections of Section
8 304. The addition modification required by this
9 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
10 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
11 group for the same taxable year and received by the
12 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
13 business group (including amounts included in gross
14 income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
15 Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
16 Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
17 to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
18 expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
19 incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
20 apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
21 reduction to the addition modification required under
22 Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
23 subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
24 includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
25 related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
26 maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,

HB3249 Enrolled- 476 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
2 losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
3 factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
4 (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
5 (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
6 costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
7 property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
8 names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
9 works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
10 assets.
11 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
12 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
13 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
14 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
15 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
16 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
17 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
18 to such item; or
19 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
20 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
21 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
22 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
23 following:
24 (a) the person during the same taxable
25 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
26 intangible expense or cost to a person that is

HB3249 Enrolled- 477 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 not a related member, and
2 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
3 intangible expense or cost between the
4 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
5 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
6 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
7 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
8 or
9 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
10 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
11 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
12 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
13 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
14 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
15 writing to the application or use of an alternative
16 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
17 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
18 Director from making any other adjustment
19 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
20 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
21 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
22 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
23 and such regulations provide methods and standards
24 by which the Department will utilize its authority
25 under Section 404 of this Act;
26 (D-19) For taxable years ending on or after

HB3249 Enrolled- 478 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
2 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
3 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
4 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
5 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
6 business group but for the fact that the person is
7 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
8 included in the unitary business group because he or
9 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
10 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
11 addition modification required by this subparagraph
12 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
13 included in base income of the unitary group for the
14 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
15 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
16 (including amounts included in gross income under
17 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
18 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
19 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
20 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
21 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
22 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
23 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
24 modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) or
25 Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this Act.

HB3249 Enrolled- 501 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 who would be a member of the same unitary business
2 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
3 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
4 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
5 required to apportion business income under different
6 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
7 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
8 extent that dividends were included in base income of
9 the unitary group for the same taxable year and

2 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
3 following:
4 (a) the person, during the same taxable
5 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
6 to a person that is not a related member, and
7 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
8 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
9 person did not have as a principal purpose the
10 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
11 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
12 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
13 terms; or
14 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
15 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
16 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
17 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
18 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
19 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
20 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
21 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
22 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
23 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or

25 to the application or use of an alternative method
26 of apportionment under Section 304(f).

HB3249 Enrolled- 503 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
2 Director from making any other adjustment
3 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

10 (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
11 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
12 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
13 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
14 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
15 foreign person who would be a member of the same
16 unitary business group but for the fact that the
17 foreign person's business activity outside the United
18 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
19 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after

23 from being included in the unitary business group
24 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
25 business income under different subsections of Section
26 304. The addition modification required by this

1 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
2 dividends were included in base income of the unitary

8 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
9 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
10 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or

12 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
13 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
14 modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of

16 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,

3 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
4 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
5 following:
6 (a) the person, during the same taxable
7 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
8 to a person that is not a related member, and
9 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
10 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
11 person did not have as a principal purpose the
12 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
13 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
14 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and

16 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
17 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
18 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
19 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
20 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
21 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
22 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or

3 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
4 Director from making any other adjustment
5 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
6 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
7 this amendment provided such adjustment is made

21 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
22 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
23 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
24 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
25 from being included in the unitary business group

12 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
13 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
14 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
15 dividends caused a reduction to the addition

7 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
8 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
9 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
10 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
11 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
12 to such item; or

1 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
2 or
3 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
4 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
5 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
6 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
7 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
8 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
9 writing to the application or use of an alternative
10 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
11 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
12 Director from making any other adjustment
13 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for

20 (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
21 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of

23 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were

1 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
2 included in the unitary business group because he or

4 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
5 addition modification required by this subparagraph
6 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
7 included in base income of the unitary group for the
8 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
9 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
10 (including amounts included in gross income under

19 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
20 following:
21 (a) the person, during the same taxable
22 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
23 to a person that is not a related member, and
24 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
25 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
26 person did not have as a principal purpose the

HB3249 Enrolled- 545 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
2 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
3 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
4 terms; or
5 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
6 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
7 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
8 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
9 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
10 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
11 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
12 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
13 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
14 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or

17 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
18 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
19 Director from making any other adjustment
20 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
21 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
22 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
23 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
24 and such regulations provide methods and standards

4 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
5 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
6 foreign person who would be a member of the same

10 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
11 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
12 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
13 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
14 from being included in the unitary business group
15 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
16 business income under different subsections of Section
17 304. The addition modification required by this
18 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
19 dividends were included in base income of the unitary

HB3249 Enrolled- 547 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or

3 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same

16 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
17 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
18 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and

8 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
9 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
10 not a related member, and
11 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
12 intangible expense or cost between the
13 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
14 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
15 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
16 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
17 or
18 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
19 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
20 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
21 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
22 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
23 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
24 writing to the application or use of an alternative
25 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
26 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the

16 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
17 included in the unitary business group because he or
18 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
19 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
20 addition modification required by this subparagraph
21 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
22 included in base income of the unitary group for the
23 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a

20 exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
21 year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess
22 of addition modifications over subtraction modifications
23 for the taxable year. For taxable years ending prior to

25 excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as

HB3249 Enrolled- 559 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the

5 modifications, other than those provided by subparagraph
6 (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
7 subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
8 trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
9 addition modification must be made under those
10 subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
11 taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
12 applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
13 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
14 (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal

16 (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
17 subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for

19 (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
20 of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
21 by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
22 insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
23 distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
24 accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the

HB3249 Enrolled- 560 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax
2 imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code,
3 insurance company taxable income;
4 (C) Regulated investment companies. In the case of
5 a regulated investment company subject to the tax

9 real estate investment trust subject to the tax imposed
10 by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code, real

12 (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
13 corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
14 corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
15 for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
16 taxable income determined as if such corporation had
17 filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
18 for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
19 for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
20 purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
21 taxable income shall be determined as if the election
22 provided by Section 243(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue
23 Code had been in effect for all such years;
24 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
25 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
26 organization determined in accordance with the

HB3249 Enrolled- 561 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
2 Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
3 against offsetting losses from patronage activities
4 against income from nonpatronage activities; except
5 that a cooperative corporation or association may make
6 an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
7 of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
8 event such election is made, such losses shall be
9 computed and carried over in a manner consistent with
10 subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
11 apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
12 the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
13 for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
14 The election shall be effective for all taxable years
15 with original returns due on or after the date of the
16 election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
17 amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
18 to provide that the election shall be effective for
19 losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
20 occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,
21 the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
22 Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting
23 forth requirements for documenting the elections and
24 any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
25 used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
26 elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of

HB3249 Enrolled- 562 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 existing law;
2 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
3 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
4 an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
5 the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
6 corporation determined in accordance with Section
7 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
8 taxable income shall take into account those items
9 which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
10 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
11 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
12 a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
13 Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
14 instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
15 effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
16 corporation determined in accordance with the federal
17 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
18 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
19 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
20 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
21 income shall take into account those items which are
22 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
23 but which would be taken into account by an individual
24 in calculating his taxable income.
25 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
26 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the

HB3249 Enrolled- 563 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
2 business has been classified as business income and in a
3 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
4 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
5 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
6 related to that asset or business that generated the
7 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
8 business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
9 or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
10 using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed

2expenditures must (i) equal $5,000 or more or (ii) exceed the
3adjusted basis of the qualified historic structure on the first

2 Sec. 14-152.1. Application and expiration of new benefit
3increases.
4 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
5an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
6Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
7any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
8to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
9effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
10however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
11the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
1296-37, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, or Public Act
13100-611 or this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
14 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
15subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
16is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
17only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
18the provisions of this Section.
19 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
20identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
21funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
22increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
23 Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
24Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
25subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
26Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional

HB3249 Enrolled- 687 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
2shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
3Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by a
4Public Act that does not include the additional funding
5required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
6Pension Division determines that the additional funding
7provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is or
8has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
9the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
10by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
11at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
12made.
13 (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
14its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
15in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
16under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
17Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
18by law.
19 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
20the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
21under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
22and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
23increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
24alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
25other person, including without limitation a person who
26continues in service after the expiration date and did not

HB3249 Enrolled- 688 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
2benefit increase was in effect.

18 Sec. 15-155. Employer contributions.
19 (a) The State of Illinois shall make contributions by
20appropriations of amounts which, together with the other
21employer contributions from trust, federal, and other funds,
22employee contributions, income from investments, and other
23income of this System, will be sufficient to meet the cost of
24maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis
25in accordance with actuarial recommendations.

HB3249 Enrolled- 694 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 The Board shall determine the amount of State contributions
2required for each fiscal year on the basis of the actuarial
3tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and the
4recommendations of the actuary, using the formula in subsection
5(a-1).
6 (a-1) For State fiscal years 2012 through 2045, the minimum
7contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
8fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
9sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
10the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
11State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
12required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
13level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
14including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
15projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
16 For each of State fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the
17State shall make an additional contribution to the System equal
18to 2% of the total payroll of each employee who is deemed to
19have elected the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made
20the election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161.
21 A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that
22increases or decreases the required State contribution and
23first applies in State fiscal year 2018 or thereafter shall be
24implemented in equal annual amounts over a 5-year period
25beginning in the State fiscal year in which the actuarial
26change first applies to the required State contribution.

HB3249 Enrolled- 695 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

2increases or decreases the required State contribution and
3first applied to the State contribution in fiscal year 2014,
42015, 2016, or 2017 shall be implemented:
5 (i) as already applied in State fiscal years before
6 2018; and
7 (ii) in the portion of the 5-year period beginning in
8 the State fiscal year in which the actuarial change first
9 applied that occurs in State fiscal year 2018 or
10 thereafter, by calculating the change in equal annual
11 amounts over that 5-year period and then implementing it at
12 the resulting annual rate in each of the remaining fiscal
13 years in that 5-year period.
14 For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
15contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
16employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
17so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
18the rate required under this Section.
19 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
20total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2006 is
21$166,641,900.

26contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable

HB3249 Enrolled- 696 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
2from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
32007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
4contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
6total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is
7$702,514,000 and shall be made from the State Pensions Fund and
8proceeds of bonds sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section
97.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata
10share of bond sale expenses determined by the System's share of
11total bond proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the General
12Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010, (iii) any reduction in bond
13proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if
14applicable.
15 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
16total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2011 is
17the amount recertified by the System on or before April 1, 2011
18pursuant to Section 15-165 and shall be made from the State

1contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
2maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
3actuarial liabilities of the System.
4 Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
5the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
6Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
7constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
8contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
9Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
10calculation of, the required State contributions under this
11Article in any future year until the System has reached a
12funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
13the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
14term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
15System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
16 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
17required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
18fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
19under this Section and certified under Section 15-165, shall
20not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required
21State contribution that would have been calculated under this
22Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
23payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
24Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
25total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
26issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of that Section

HB3249 Enrolled- 698 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
17.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is
2the same as the System's portion of the total moneys
3distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
4Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State
5fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
6in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
7applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
8from the sum of the required State contribution for State
9fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
10total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
11issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of
12the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year
132011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required
14under this Section.
15 (a-2) Beginning in fiscal year 2018, each employer under
16this Article shall pay to the System a required contribution
17determined as a percentage of projected payroll and sufficient
18to produce an annual amount equal to:
19 (i) for each of fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the
20 defined benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan,
21 less the employee contribution, for each employee of that
22 employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
23 the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
24 election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161; for fiscal
25 year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, the defined
26 benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, less the

HB3249 Enrolled- 699 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 employee contribution, plus 2%, for each employee of that
2 employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
3 the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
4 election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161; plus
5 (ii) the amount required for that fiscal year to
6 amortize any unfunded actuarial accrued liability
7 associated with the present value of liabilities
8 attributable to the employer's account under Section
9 15-155.2, determined as a level percentage of payroll over
10 a 30-year rolling amortization period.
11 In determining contributions required under item (i) of
12this subsection, the System shall determine an aggregate rate
13for all employers, expressed as a percentage of projected
14payroll.
15 In determining the contributions required under item (ii)
16of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System
17on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in
18the most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is
19available at the time of the computation.
20 The contributions required under this subsection (a-2)
21shall be paid by an employer concurrently with that employer's
22payroll payment period. The State, as the actual employer of an
23employee, shall make the required contributions under this
24subsection.

HB3249 Enrolled- 700 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (b) If an employee is paid from trust or federal funds, the
2employer shall pay to the Board contributions from those funds
3which are sufficient to cover the accruing normal costs on
4behalf of the employee. However, universities having employees
5who are compensated out of local auxiliary funds, income funds,
6or service enterprise funds are not required to pay such
7contributions on behalf of those employees. The local auxiliary
8funds, income funds, and service enterprise funds of
9universities shall not be considered trust funds for the
10purpose of this Article, but funds of alumni associations,
11foundations, and athletic associations which are affiliated
12with the universities included as employers under this Article
13and other employers which do not receive State appropriations
14are considered to be trust funds for the purpose of this
15Article.
16 (b-1) The City of Urbana and the City of Champaign shall
17each make employer contributions to this System for their
18respective firefighter employees who participate in this
19System pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 15-107. The rate
20of contributions to be made by those municipalities shall be
21determined annually by the Board on the basis of the actuarial
22assumptions adopted by the Board and the recommendations of the
23actuary, and shall be expressed as a percentage of salary for
24each such employee. The Board shall certify the rate to the
25affected municipalities as soon as may be practical. The
26employer contributions required under this subsection shall be

HB3249 Enrolled- 701 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1remitted by the municipality to the System at the same time and
2in the same manner as employee contributions.
3 (c) Through State fiscal year 1995: The total employer
4contribution shall be apportioned among the various funds of
5the State and other employers, whether trust, federal, or other
6funds, in accordance with actuarial procedures approved by the
7Board. State of Illinois contributions for employers receiving
8State appropriations for personal services shall be payable
9from appropriations made to the employers or to the System. The
10contributions for Class I community colleges covering earnings
11other than those paid from trust and federal funds, shall be
12payable solely from appropriations to the Illinois Community
13College Board or the System for employer contributions.
14 (d) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, the required State
15contributions to the System shall be appropriated directly to
16the System and shall be payable through vouchers issued in
17accordance with subsection (c) of Section 15-165, except as
18provided in subsection (g).
19 (e) The State Comptroller shall draw warrants payable to

21employer in accordance with the appropriation laws and this
22Code.
23 (f) Normal costs under this Section means liability for
24pensions and other benefits which accrues to the System because
25of the credits earned for service rendered by the participants
26during the fiscal year and expenses of administering the

HB3249 Enrolled- 702 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1System, but shall not include the principal of or any
2redemption premium or interest on any bonds issued by the Board
3or any expenses incurred or deposits required in connection
4therewith.
5 (g) For academic years beginning on or after June 1, 2005
6and before July 1, 2018 and for earnings paid to a participant
7under a contract or collective bargaining agreement entered
8into, amended, or renewed before June 4, 2018 (the effective
9date of Public Act 100-587) this amendatory Act of the 100th
10General Assembly, if the amount of a participant's earnings for
11any academic year used to determine the final rate of earnings,
12determined on a full-time equivalent basis, exceeds the amount
13of his or her earnings with the same employer for the previous
14academic year, determined on a full-time equivalent basis, by
15more than 6%, the participant's employer shall pay to the
16System, in addition to all other payments required under this
17Section and in accordance with guidelines established by the
18System, the present value of the increase in benefits resulting
19from the portion of the increase in earnings that is in excess
20of 6%. This present value shall be computed by the System on
21the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the
22most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is available
23at the time of the computation. The System may require the
24employer to provide any pertinent information or
25documentation.
26 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required

HB3249 Enrolled- 703 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1under this subsection (g), the System shall calculate the
2amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.
3The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the
4amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it
5may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the
6System in writing for a recalculation. The application must
7specify in detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the
8employer asserts that the calculation is subject to subsection
9(h) or (i) of this Section or that subsection (g-1) applies,
10must include an affidavit setting forth and attesting to all
11facts within the employer's knowledge that are pertinent to the
12applicability of that subsection. Upon receiving a timely
13application for recalculation, the System shall review the
14application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
15 The employer contributions required under this subsection
16(g) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
17receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
18within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
19charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
20assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
21the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
22concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
23bill.
24 When assessing payment for any amount due under this
25subsection (g), the System shall include earnings, to the
26extent not established by a participant under Section 15-113.11

4or before June 30, 2017 or (ii) periods of voluntary pay
5reduction in lieu of furlough occurring on or after July 1,
62015 and on or before June 30, 2017. Determining earnings that
7would have been paid to a participant had the participant not
8taken periods of voluntary or involuntary furlough or periods
9of voluntary pay reduction shall be the responsibility of the
10employer, and shall be reported in a manner prescribed by the
11System.
12 This subsection (g) does not apply to (1) Tier 2 hybrid
13plan members and (2) Tier 2 defined benefit members who first
14participate under this Article on or after the implementation

17and for earnings paid to a participant under a contract or
18collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or
19renewed on or after June 4, 2018 (the effective date of Public
20Act 100-587) this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly,
21if the amount of a participant's earnings for any academic year
22used to determine the final rate of earnings, determined on a
23full-time equivalent basis, exceeds the amount of his or her
24earnings with the same employer for the previous academic year,
25determined on a full-time equivalent basis, by more than 3%,
26then the participant's employer shall pay to the System, in

HB3249 Enrolled- 705 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1addition to all other payments required under this Section and
2in accordance with guidelines established by the System, the
3present value of the increase in benefits resulting from the
4portion of the increase in earnings that is in excess of 3%.
5This present value shall be computed by the System on the basis
6of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
7actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
8of the computation. The System may require the employer to
9provide any pertinent information or documentation.
10 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
11under this subsection (g-1), the System shall calculate the
12amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.
13The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the
14amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it
15may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the

17specify in detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the
18employer asserts that subsection (g) of this Section applies,
19must include an affidavit setting forth and attesting to all
20facts within the employer's knowledge that are pertinent to the
21applicability of subsection (g). Upon receiving a timely
22application for recalculation, the System shall review the
23application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
24 The employer contributions required under this subsection
25(g-1) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
26receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid

HB3249 Enrolled- 706 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest shall
2be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
3assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
4the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
5concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
6bill.

12salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
131, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
14require the System to refund any payments received before July
1531, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).
16 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
17(g), the System shall exclude earnings increases paid to
18participants under contracts or collective bargaining
19agreements entered into, amended, or renewed before June 1,
202005.

HB3249 Enrolled- 707 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1overload work, including a contract for summer teaching, or
2overtime when the employer has certified to the System, and the
3System has approved the certification, that: (i) in the case of
4overloads (A) the overload work is for the sole purpose of
5academic instruction in excess of the standard number of
6instruction hours for a full-time employee occurring during the
7academic year that the overload is paid and (B) the earnings
8increases are equal to or less than the rate of pay for
9academic instruction computed using the participant's current

12the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by
13January 1, 2007 that contains all of the following information:
14 (1) The number of recalculations required by the
15 changes made to this Section by Public Act 94-1057 for each

22 Public Act 94-4.
23 (4) The increase in the required State contribution

25 Act 94-1057.
26 (j-5) For State fiscal years beginning on or after July 1,

HB3249 Enrolled- 709 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
12017, if the amount of a participant's earnings for any State
2fiscal year exceeds the amount of the salary set by law for the
3Governor that is in effect on July 1 of that fiscal year, the
4participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to
5all other payments required under this Section and in
6accordance with guidelines established by the System, an amount
7determined by the System to be equal to the employer normal
8cost, as established by the System and expressed as a total
9percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of earnings in
10excess of the amount of the salary set by law for the Governor.
11This amount shall be computed by the System on the basis of the
12actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
13actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
14of the computation. The System may require the employer to
15provide any pertinent information or documentation.
16 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
17under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
18the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
19shall specify the calculation used to determine the amount due.
20If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may, within
2130 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System in
22writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
23detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a timely
24application for recalculation, the System shall review the
25application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
26 The employer contributions required under this subsection

HB3249 Enrolled- 710 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
2issuance of the bill. If the employer contributions are not
3paid within 90 days after issuance of the bill, then interest
4will be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual
5actuarially assumed rate of return on investment compounded
6annually from the 91st day after issuance of the bill. All
7payments must be received within 3 years after issuance of the
8bill. If the employer fails to make complete payment, including
9applicable interest, within 3 years, then the System may, after
10giving notice to the employer, certify the delinquent amount to
11the State Comptroller, and the Comptroller shall thereupon
12deduct the certified delinquent amount from State funds payable
13to the employer and pay them instead to the System.
14 This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a participant's
15earnings to the extent an employer pays the employer normal
16cost of such earnings.
17 The changes made to this subsection (j-5) by Public Act
18100-624 this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly are
19intended to apply retroactively to July 6, 2017 (the effective
20date of Public Act 100-23).
21 (k) The Illinois Community College Board shall adopt rules
22for recommending lists of promotional positions submitted to
23the Board by community colleges and for reviewing the
24promotional lists on an annual basis. When recommending
25promotional lists, the Board shall consider the similarity of
26the positions submitted to those positions recognized for State

HB3249 Enrolled- 711 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1universities by the State Universities Civil Service System.
2The Illinois Community College Board shall file a copy of its
3findings with the System. The System shall consider the
4findings of the Illinois Community College Board when making
5determinations under this Section. The System shall not exclude
6any earnings increases resulting from a promotion when the
7promotion was not submitted by a community college. Nothing in
8this subsection (k) shall require any community college to
9submit any information to the Community College Board.
10 (l) For purposes of determining the required State
11contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
12shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
13which shall be calculated as follows:
14 As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
15assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
16that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
17assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
18gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
19year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
205-year period following that fiscal year.
21 (m) For purposes of determining the required State
22contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
23value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
24to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

2 Sec. 15-198. Application and expiration of new benefit
3increases.
4 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
5an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
6Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
7any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
8to this Code that takes effect after the effective date of this
9amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly. "New benefit
10increase", however, does not include any benefit increase
11resulting from the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by
12Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, or Public Act 100-769 or
13this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
14 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
15subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
16is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
17only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
18the provisions of this Section.
19 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
20identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
21funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
22increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
23 Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
24Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
25subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and

HB3249 Enrolled- 713 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
2funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
3shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
4Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by a
5Public Act that does not include the additional funding
6required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
7Pension Division determines that the additional funding
8provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is or
9has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
10the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
11by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
12at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
13made.
14 (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
15its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
16in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
17under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
18Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
19by law.
20 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
21the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
22under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
23and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
24increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
25alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
26other person, including without limitation a person who

HB3249 Enrolled- 714 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1continues in service after the expiration date and did not
2apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
3benefit increase was in effect.

10means of appropriations from the Common School Fund and other
11State funds of amounts which, together with other employer
12contributions, employee contributions, investment income, and
13other income, will be sufficient to meet the cost of
14maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis
15in accordance with actuarial recommendations.
16 The Board shall determine the amount of State contributions
17required for each fiscal year on the basis of the actuarial
18tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and the
19recommendations of the actuary, using the formula in subsection
20(b-3).
21 (a-1) Annually, on or before November 15 until November 15,

22the Governor, and the General Assembly a proposed certification
23of the amount of the required State contribution to the System

6January 15, 2013 and each January 15 thereafter, the Board
7shall certify to the Governor and the General Assembly the
8amount of the required State contribution for the next fiscal
9year. The Board's certification must note any deviations from
10the State Actuary's recommended changes, the reason or reasons
11for not following the State Actuary's recommended changes, and
12the fiscal impact of not following the State Actuary's
13recommended changes on the required State contribution.
14 (a-10) By November 1, 2017, the Board shall recalculate and
15recertify to the State Actuary, the Governor, and the General
16Assembly the amount of the State contribution to the System for
17State fiscal year 2018, taking into account the changes in
18required State contributions made by Public Act 100-23. The
19State Actuary shall review the assumptions and valuations
20underlying the Board's revised certification and issue a
21preliminary report concerning the proposed recertification and
22identifying, if necessary, recommended changes in actuarial
23assumptions that the Board must consider before finalizing its

25final certification must note any deviations from the State
26Actuary's recommended changes, the reason or reasons for not

HB3249 Enrolled- 717 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1following the State Actuary's recommended changes, and the
2fiscal impact of not following the State Actuary's recommended

4 (a-15) On or after June 15, 2019, but no later than June
530, 2019, the Board shall recalculate and recertify to the
6Governor and the General Assembly the amount of the State
7contribution to the System for State fiscal year 2019, taking
8into account the changes in required State contributions made
9by Public Act 100-587 this amendatory Act of the 100th General
10Assembly. The recalculation shall be made using assumptions
11adopted by the Board for the original fiscal year 2019
12certification. The monthly voucher for the 12th month of fiscal
13year 2019 shall be paid by the Comptroller after the
14recertification required pursuant to this subsection is

7to the System under subsection (a) of Section 6z-61 of the
8State Finance Act. These vouchers shall be paid by the State
9Comptroller and Treasurer by warrants drawn on the funds
10appropriated to the System for that fiscal year.
11 If in any month the amount remaining unexpended from all
12other appropriations to the System for the applicable fiscal
13year (including the appropriations to the System under Section
148.12 of the State Finance Act and Section 1 of the State
15Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act) is less than the

19the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.
20 (b-2) Allocations from the Common School Fund apportioned
21to school districts not coming under this System shall not be
22diminished or affected by the provisions of this Article.
23 (b-3) For State fiscal years 2012 through 2045, the minimum
24contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
25fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
26sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of

HB3249 Enrolled- 719 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
2State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
3required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
4level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
5including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
6projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
7 For each of State fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the
8State shall make an additional contribution to the System equal
9to 2% of the total payroll of each employee who is deemed to
10have elected the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made
11the election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161.
12 A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that
13increases or decreases the required State contribution and
14first applies in State fiscal year 2018 or thereafter shall be
15implemented in equal annual amounts over a 5-year period
16beginning in the State fiscal year in which the actuarial
17change first applies to the required State contribution.
18 A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that
19increases or decreases the required State contribution and
20first applied to the State contribution in fiscal year 2014,
212015, 2016, or 2017 shall be implemented:
22 (i) as already applied in State fiscal years before
23 2018; and
24 (ii) in the portion of the 5-year period beginning in
25 the State fiscal year in which the actuarial change first
26 applied that occurs in State fiscal year 2018 or

HB3249 Enrolled- 720 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 thereafter, by calculating the change in equal annual
2 amounts over that 5-year period and then implementing it at
3 the resulting annual rate in each of the remaining fiscal
4 years in that 5-year period.
5 For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
6contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
7employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
8so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
9the rate required under this Section; except that in the
10following specified State fiscal years, the State contribution
11to the System shall not be less than the following indicated
12percentages of the applicable employee payroll, even if the
13indicated percentage will produce a State contribution in
14excess of the amount otherwise required under this subsection
15and subsection (a), and notwithstanding any contrary

5contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
6 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
7total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is
8$2,089,268,000 and shall be made from the proceeds of bonds

HB3249 Enrolled- 722 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1employer contributions required by the State as an employer
2under paragraph (e) of this Section, which may also be used by
3the System for contributions required by paragraph (a) of
4Section 16-127.
5 Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State
6contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
7maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
8actuarial liabilities of the System.
9 Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
10the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
11Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
12constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
13contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
14Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
15calculation of, the required State contributions under this
16Article in any future year until the System has reached a
17funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
18the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
19term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
20System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
21 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
22required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
23fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
24under this Section and certified under subsection (a-1), shall
25not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required
26State contribution that would have been calculated under this

HB3249 Enrolled- 723 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
2payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
3Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
4total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
5issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of that Section
67.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is
7the same as the System's portion of the total moneys
8distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
9Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State
10fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
11in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
12applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
13from the sum of the required State contribution for State
14fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
15total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
16issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of
17the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year
182011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required
19under this Section.
20 (b-4) Beginning in fiscal year 2018, each employer under
21this Article shall pay to the System a required contribution
22determined as a percentage of projected payroll and sufficient
23to produce an annual amount equal to:
24 (i) for each of fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the
25 defined benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan,
26 less the employee contribution, for each employee of that

HB3249 Enrolled- 724 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
2 the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
3 election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; for fiscal
4 year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, the defined
5 benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, less the
6 employee contribution, plus 2%, for each employee of that
7 employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
8 the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
9 election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; plus
10 (ii) the amount required for that fiscal year to
11 amortize any unfunded actuarial accrued liability
12 associated with the present value of liabilities
13 attributable to the employer's account under Section
14 16-158.3, determined as a level percentage of payroll over
15 a 30-year rolling amortization period.
16 In determining contributions required under item (i) of
17this subsection, the System shall determine an aggregate rate
18for all employers, expressed as a percentage of projected
19payroll.
20 In determining the contributions required under item (ii)
21of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System
22on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in
23the most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is
24available at the time of the computation.
25 The contributions required under this subsection (b-4)
26shall be paid by an employer concurrently with that employer's

HB3249 Enrolled- 725 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1payroll payment period. The State, as the actual employer of an
2employee, shall make the required contributions under this
3subsection.
4 (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all
5pensions, retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and
6other benefits granted under or assumed by this System, and all
7expenses in connection with the administration and operation
8thereof, are obligations of the State.
9 If members are paid from special trust or federal funds
10which are administered by the employing unit, whether school
11district or other unit, the employing unit shall pay to the
12System from such funds the full accruing retirement costs based
13upon that service, which, beginning July 1, 2017, shall be at a
14rate, expressed as a percentage of salary, equal to the total
15employer's normal cost, expressed as a percentage of payroll,
16as determined by the System. Employer contributions, based on
17salary paid to members from federal funds, may be forwarded by
18the distributing agency of the State of Illinois to the System
19prior to allocation, in an amount determined in accordance with
20guidelines established by such agency and the System. Any
21contribution for fiscal year 2015 collected as a result of the
22change made by Public Act 98-674 shall be considered a State
23contribution under subsection (b-3) of this Section.
24 (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as
25defined in paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the
26employer's normal cost of benefits based upon the teacher's

HB3249 Enrolled- 726 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1service, in addition to employee contributions, as determined
2by the System. Such employer contributions shall be forwarded
3monthly in accordance with guidelines established by the
4System.
5 However, with respect to benefits granted under Section
616-133.4 or 16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8)
7of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
8(rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate
9for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer
10shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
11the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
1216-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section
1316-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
14absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
15considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
16is on leave.
17 (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
18shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
19follows:
20 (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
21 employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each
22 teacher's salary.
23 (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
24 contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's
25 salary.
26The school district or other employing unit may pay these

HB3249 Enrolled- 727 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1employer contributions out of any source of funding available
2for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
3System on the schedule established for the payment of member
4contributions.
5 These employer contributions are intended to offset a
6portion of the cost to the System of the increases in
7retirement benefits resulting from Public Act 90-582.
8 Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against
9the contributions required under this subsection (e) with
10respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
112002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
12employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State
13Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
14paid to teachers for that period.
15 The additional 1% employee contribution required under
16Section 16-152 by Public Act 90-582 is the responsibility of
17the teacher and not the teacher's employer, unless the employer
18agrees, through collective bargaining or otherwise, to make the
19contribution on behalf of the teacher.
20 If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
211, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
22pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
23Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
24this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
25the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
26for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and

HB3249 Enrolled- 728 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
2the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
3the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
4termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
5after May 1, 1998.
6 (f) For school years beginning on or after June 1, 2005 and
7before July 1, 2018 and for salary paid to a teacher under a
8contract or collective bargaining agreement entered into,
9amended, or renewed before June 4, 2018 (the effective date of
10Public Act 100-587) this amendatory Act of the 100th General
11Assembly, if the amount of a teacher's salary for any school
12year used to determine final average salary exceeds the
13member's annual full-time salary rate with the same employer
14for the previous school year by more than 6%, the teacher's
15employer shall pay to the System, in addition to all other
16payments required under this Section and in accordance with
17guidelines established by the System, the present value of the
18increase in benefits resulting from the portion of the increase
19in salary that is in excess of 6%. This present value shall be
20computed by the System on the basis of the actuarial
21assumptions and tables used in the most recent actuarial
22valuation of the System that is available at the time of the
23computation. If a teacher's salary for the 2005-2006 school
24year is used to determine final average salary under this
25subsection (f), then the changes made to this subsection (f) by
26Public Act 94-1057 shall apply in calculating whether the

HB3249 Enrolled- 729 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1increase in his or her salary is in excess of 6%. For the
2purposes of this Section, change in employment under Section
310-21.12 of the School Code on or after June 1, 2005 shall
4constitute a change in employer. The System may require the
5employer to provide any pertinent information or
6documentation. The changes made to this subsection (f) by
7Public Act 94-1111 apply without regard to whether the teacher
8was in service on or after its effective date.
9 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
10under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
11the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
12shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
13due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
14within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
15in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
16detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts
17that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of
18this Section or that subsection (f-1) of this Section applies,
19must include an affidavit setting forth and attesting to all
20facts within the employer's knowledge that are pertinent to the
21applicability of that subsection. Upon receiving a timely
22application for recalculation, the System shall review the
23application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
24 The employer contributions required under this subsection
25(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
26receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid

HB3249 Enrolled- 730 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
2charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
3assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
4the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
5concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
6bill.
7 (f-1) For school years beginning on or after July 1, 2018
8and for salary paid to a teacher under a contract or collective
9bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or renewed on or
10after June 4, 2018 (the effective date of Public Act 100-587)
11this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, if the
12amount of a teacher's salary for any school year used to
13determine final average salary exceeds the member's annual
14full-time salary rate with the same employer for the previous
15school year by more than 3%, then the teacher's employer shall
16pay to the System, in addition to all other payments required
17under this Section and in accordance with guidelines
18established by the System, the present value of the increase in
19benefits resulting from the portion of the increase in salary
20that is in excess of 3%. This present value shall be computed
21by the System on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and
22tables used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the
23System that is available at the time of the computation. The
24System may require the employer to provide any pertinent
25information or documentation.
26 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required

HB3249 Enrolled- 731 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1under this subsection (f-1), the System shall calculate the
2amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.
3The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the
4amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it
5shall, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the
6System in writing for a recalculation. The application must
7specify in detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the
8employer asserts that subsection (f) of this Section applies,
9must include an affidavit setting forth and attesting to all
10facts within the employer's knowledge that are pertinent to the
11applicability of subsection (f). Upon receiving a timely
12application for recalculation, the System shall review the
13application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
14 The employer contributions required under this subsection
15(f-1) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
16receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
17within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest shall
18be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
19assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
20the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
21concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
22bill.
23 (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or
24salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
251, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
26require the System to refund any payments received before July

HB3249 Enrolled- 732 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
131, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).
2 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
3(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to teachers
4under contracts or collective bargaining agreements entered
5into, amended, or renewed before June 1, 2005.
6 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection

9retirement eligibility under Section 16-132 or 16-133.2.
10 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
11(f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from
12overload work, including summer school, when the school
13district has certified to the System, and the System has
14approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for
15the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the
16standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school
17district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are
18equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction
19computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
20 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
21(f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from
22a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a
23certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State
24Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification
25or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's
26previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and

HB3249 Enrolled- 733 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic
2year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase
3that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the
4average salary paid for other similar positions in the district
5requiring the same certification or the amount stipulated in
6the collective bargaining agreement for a similar position
7requiring the same certification.
8 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
9(f), the System shall exclude any payment to the teacher from
10the State of Illinois or the State Board of Education over
11which the employer does not have discretion, notwithstanding
12that the payment is included in the computation of final
13average salary.
14 (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under
15subsection (f), the System shall exclude any salary increase
16described in subsection (g) of this Section given on or after
17July 1, 2011 but before July 1, 2014 under a contract or
18collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or
19renewed on or after June 1, 2005 but before July 1, 2011.
20Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any
21payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014
22shall be used in assessing payment for any amount due under
23subsection (f) of this Section.

13 (i-5) For school years beginning on or after July 1, 2017,
14if the amount of a participant's salary for any school year
15exceeds the amount of the salary set for the Governor, the
16participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to
17all other payments required under this Section and in
18accordance with guidelines established by the System, an amount
19determined by the System to be equal to the employer normal
20cost, as established by the System and expressed as a total
21percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of salary in
22excess of the amount of the salary set for the Governor. This
23amount shall be computed by the System on the basis of the
24actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
25actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
26of the computation. The System may require the employer to

HB3249 Enrolled- 735 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

4the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
5shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
6due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
7within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System

17assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
18the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
19concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
20bill.
21 (j) For purposes of determining the required State
22contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
23shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
24which shall be calculated as follows:
25 As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
26assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of

HB3249 Enrolled- 736 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
2assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
3gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
4year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
55-year period following that fiscal year.
6 (k) For purposes of determining the required State
7contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
8value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
9to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

14 Sec. 16-203. Application and expiration of new benefit
15increases.
16 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
17an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
18Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
19any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
20to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
21effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
22however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
23the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
2495-910, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, Public Act
25100-743, or Public Act 100-769 or by this amendatory Act of the

1100th General Assembly.
2 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
3subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
4is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
5only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
6the provisions of this Section.
7 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
8identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
9funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
10increase in cost to the System as it accrues.

19required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
20Pension Division determines that the additional funding
21provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is or
22has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and

6by law.
7 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
8the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
9under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
10and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
11increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and

12personal property, other than an item of tangible personal
13property titled or registered with an agency of this State's
14government, at retail in the county on the gross receipts from
15such sales made in the course of their business. If imposed,
16this tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after

23registration that is issued by the Department to a retailer
24under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the

HB3249 Enrolled- 761 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1retailer to engage in a business that is taxable under any

8provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
9arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
10hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
11Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
12Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
13immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
14conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
15definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
16as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j,

5are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
6bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
7 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
8made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
9credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
10Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
11amount specified and to the person named in the notification
12from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
13Treasurer out of the home rule county retailers' occupation tax

16Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
17collected hereunder.

18Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1.5% of the remainder, which the
19Department shall transfer into the Tax Compliance and
20Administration Fund. The Department, at the time of each
21monthly disbursement to the counties, shall prepare and certify
22to the State Comptroller the amount to be transferred into the
23Tax Compliance and Administration Fund under this Section.

11provided, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
12arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
13hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
14Section the Department and persons who are subject to this

17conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
18definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,

11to this Section unless such municipality also imposes a tax at
12the same rate pursuant to Section 8-11-1 of this Act.
13 Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
14authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
15their serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately
16stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be
17stated in combination, in a single amount, with State tax which
18servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax
19Act, pursuant to such bracket schedules as the Department may
20prescribe.

19preceding period of July 1 through June 30. The Department
20shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller for disbursement
21the allocations made in accordance with this paragraph.

22home rule municipality may not appoint a fire chief, an acting
23chief, a department head, or a position, by whatever title,
24that is responsible for day-to-day operations of a fire
25department for greater than 180 days in a manner inconsistent
26with this paragraph. This paragraph is a limitation under

HB3249 Enrolled- 839 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
2Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of
3powers and functions exercised by the State.
4 If a member of the department is appointed chief of police
5or chief of the fire department prior to being eligible to
6retire on pension, he shall be considered as on furlough from
7the rank he held immediately prior to his appointment as chief.
8If he resigns as chief or is discharged as chief prior to
9attaining eligibility to retire on pension, he shall revert to
10and be established in whatever rank he currently holds, except
11for previously appointed positions, and thereafter be entitled
12to all the benefits and emoluments of that rank, without regard
13as to whether a vacancy then exists in that rank.
14 All appointments to each department other than that of the
15lowest rank, however, shall be from the rank next below that to
16which the appointment is made except as otherwise provided in
17this Section, and except that the chief of police and the chief
18of the fire department may be appointed from among members of
19the police and fire departments, respectively, regardless of
20rank, unless the council or board of trustees shall have by
21ordinance as to them otherwise provided. A chief of police or
22the chief of the fire department, having been appointed from
23among members of the police or fire department, respectively,
24shall be permitted, regardless of rank, to take promotional
25exams and be promoted to a higher classified rank than he
26currently holds, without having to resign as chief of police or

HB3249 Enrolled- 840 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1chief of the fire department.
2 The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
3shall be vested in the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
4and all certificates of appointments issued to any officer or
5member of the fire or police department of a municipality shall
6be signed by the chairman and secretary respectively of the
7board of fire and police commissioners of such municipality,
8upon appointment of such officer or member of the fire and
9police department of such municipality by action of the board
10of fire and police commissioners. After being selected from the
11register of eligibles to fill a vacancy in the affected
12department, each appointee shall be presented with his or her
13certificate of appointment on the day on which he or she is
14sworn in as a classified member of the affected department.
15Firefighters who were not issued a certificate of appointment
16when originally appointed shall be provided with a certificate
17within 10 days after making a written request to the
18chairperson of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. In
19any municipal fire department that employs full-time
20firefighters and is subject to a collective bargaining
21agreement, a person who has not qualified for regular
22appointment under the provisions of this Division 2.1 shall not
23be used as a temporary or permanent substitute for classified
24members of a municipality's fire department or for regular
25appointment as a classified member of a municipality's fire
26department unless mutually agreed to by the employee's

HB3249 Enrolled- 841 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1certified bargaining agent. Such agreement shall be considered
2a permissive subject of bargaining. Municipal fire departments
3covered by the changes made by Public Act 95-490 that are using
4non-certificated employees as substitutes immediately prior to
5June 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-490) may, by
6mutual agreement with the certified bargaining agent, continue
7the existing practice or a modified practice and that agreement
8shall be considered a permissive subject of bargaining. A home
9rule unit may not regulate the hiring of temporary or
10substitute members of the municipality's fire department in a
11manner that is inconsistent with this Section. This Section is
12a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII
13of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home
14rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
15 The term "policemen" as used in this Division does not
16include auxiliary police officers except as provided for in
17Section 10-2.1-6.
18 Any full-time member of a regular fire or police department
19of any municipality which comes under the provisions of this
20Division or adopts this Division 2.1 or which has adopted any
21of the prior Acts pertaining to fire and police commissioners,
22is a city officer.
23 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
24Chief of Police of a department in a non-home rule municipality
25of more than 130,000 inhabitants may, without the advice or
26consent of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, appoint

HB3249 Enrolled- 842 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1up to 6 officers who shall be known as deputy chiefs or
2assistant deputy chiefs, and whose rank shall be immediately
3below that of Chief. The deputy or assistant deputy chiefs may
4be appointed from any rank of sworn officers of that
5municipality, but no person who is not such a sworn officer may
6be so appointed. Such deputy chief or assistant deputy chief
7shall have the authority to direct and issue orders to all
8employees of the Department holding the rank of captain or any
9lower rank. A deputy chief of police or assistant deputy chief
10of police, having been appointed from any rank of sworn
11officers of that municipality, shall be permitted, regardless
12of rank, to take promotional exams and be promoted to a higher
13classified rank than he currently holds, without having to
14resign as deputy chief of police or assistant deputy chief of
15police.
16 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a
17non-home rule municipality of 130,000 or fewer inhabitants,
18through its council or board of trustees, may, by ordinance,
19provide for a position of deputy chief to be appointed by the
20chief of the police department. The ordinance shall provide for
21no more than one deputy chief position if the police department
22has fewer than 25 full-time police officers and for no more
23than 2 deputy chief positions if the police department has 25
24or more full-time police officers. The deputy chief position
25shall be an exempt rank immediately below that of Chief. The
26deputy chief may be appointed from any rank of sworn, full-time

HB3249 Enrolled- 843 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1officers of the municipality's police department, but must have
2at least 5 years of full-time service as a police officer in
3that department. A deputy chief shall serve at the discretion
4of the Chief and, if removed from the position, shall revert to
5the rank currently held, without regard as to whether a vacancy
6exists in that rank. A deputy chief of police, having been
7appointed from any rank of sworn full-time officers of that
8municipality's police department, shall be permitted,
9regardless of rank, to take promotional exams and be promoted
10to a higher classified rank than he currently holds, without
11having to resign as deputy chief of police.
12 No municipality having a population less than 1,000,000
13shall require that any firefighter appointed to the lowest rank
14serve a probationary employment period of longer than one year.
15The limitation on periods of probationary employment provided
16in Public Act 86-990 is an exclusive power and function of the
17State. Pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII
18of the Illinois Constitution, a home rule municipality having a
19population less than 1,000,000 must comply with this limitation
20on periods of probationary employment, which is a denial and
21limitation of home rule powers. Notwithstanding anything to the
22contrary in this Section, the probationary employment period
23limitation may be extended for a firefighter who is required,
24as a condition of employment, to be a licensed paramedic,
25during which time the sole reason that a firefighter may be
26discharged without a hearing is for failing to meet the

HB3249 Enrolled- 844 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1requirements for paramedic licensure.
2 To the extent that this Section or any other Section in
3this Division conflicts with Section 10-2.1-6.3 or 10-2.1-6.4,
4then Section 10-2.1-6.3 or 10-2.1-6.4 shall control.

5 (a) To expel pupils guilty of gross disobedience or
6misconduct, including gross disobedience or misconduct
7perpetuated by electronic means, pursuant to subsection (b-20)
8of this Section, and no action shall lie against them for such
9expulsion. Expulsion shall take place only after the parents
10have been requested to appear at a meeting of the board, or
11with a hearing officer appointed by it, to discuss their
12child's behavior. Such request shall be made by registered or
13certified mail and shall state the time, place and purpose of
14the meeting. The board, or a hearing officer appointed by it,
15at such meeting shall state the reasons for dismissal and the
16date on which the expulsion is to become effective. If a
17hearing officer is appointed by the board, he shall report to
18the board a written summary of the evidence heard at the
19meeting and the board may take such action thereon as it finds
20appropriate. If the board acts to expel a pupil, the written
21expulsion decision shall detail the specific reasons why
22removing the pupil from the learning environment is in the best
23interest of the school. The expulsion decision shall also
24include a rationale as to the specific duration of the
25expulsion. An expelled pupil may be immediately transferred to

HB3249 Enrolled- 924 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1an alternative program in the manner provided in Article 13A or
213B of this Code. A pupil must not be denied transfer because
3of the expulsion, except in cases in which such transfer is
4deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students or staff in
5the alternative program.
6 (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the superintendent
7of the district or the principal, assistant principal, or dean
8of students of any school to suspend pupils guilty of gross
9disobedience or misconduct, or to suspend pupils guilty of
10gross disobedience or misconduct on the school bus from riding
11the school bus, pursuant to subsections (b-15) and (b-20) of
12this Section, and no action shall lie against them for such
13suspension. The board may by policy authorize the
14superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
15principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend pupils
16guilty of such acts for a period not to exceed 10 school days.
17If a pupil is suspended due to gross disobedience or misconduct
18on a school bus, the board may suspend the pupil in excess of
1910 school days for safety reasons.
20 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the parents
21or guardian of a pupil along with a full statement of the
22reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to a
23review. The school board must be given a summary of the notice,
24including the reason for the suspension and the suspension
25length. Upon request of the parents or guardian, the school
26board or a hearing officer appointed by it shall review such

HB3249 Enrolled- 925 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1action of the superintendent or principal, assistant
2principal, or dean of students. At such review, the parents or
3guardian of the pupil may appear and discuss the suspension
4with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing officer is
5appointed by the board, he shall report to the board a written
6summary of the evidence heard at the meeting. After its hearing
7or upon receipt of the written report of its hearing officer,
8the board may take such action as it finds appropriate. If a
9student is suspended pursuant to this subsection (b), the board
10shall, in the written suspension decision, detail the specific
11act of gross disobedience or misconduct resulting in the
12decision to suspend. The suspension decision shall also include
13a rationale as to the specific duration of the suspension. A
14pupil who is suspended in excess of 20 school days may be
15immediately transferred to an alternative program in the manner
16provided in Article 13A or 13B of this Code. A pupil must not
17be denied transfer because of the suspension, except in cases
18in which such transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the
19safety of students or staff in the alternative program.
20 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions
21and consequences available to school officials, school
22exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions,
23are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
24and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
25extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them
26only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that

HB3249 Enrolled- 926 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is
2recommended that school officials consider forms of
3non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school
4suspensions or expulsions.
5 (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this
6Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies
7by which school administrators are required to suspend or expel
8students for particular behaviors.

10used only if the student's continuing presence in school would
11pose a threat to school safety or a disruption to other
12students' learning opportunities. For purposes of this
13subsection (b-15), "threat to school safety or a disruption to
14other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on
15a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee.
16School officials shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve
17such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the length
18of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.
19 (b-20) Unless otherwise required by this Code,
20out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions,
21and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used
22only if other appropriate and available behavioral and
23disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the
24student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose a
25threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of
26the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or

HB3249 Enrolled- 927 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of
2this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other
3students, staff, or members of the school community" and
4"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the
5operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case
6basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection
7(b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and
8available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been
9exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials
10shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats,
11address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student
12exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the
13suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this Section
14or the expulsion decision described in subsection (a) of this
15Section, it shall be documented whether other interventions
16were attempted or whether it was determined that there were no
17other appropriate and available interventions.
18 (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer
19than 4 school days shall be provided appropriate and available
20support services during the period of their suspension. For
21purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available
22support services" shall be determined by school authorities.
23Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of
24this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are
25to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no
26such appropriate and available services.

4re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school,
5expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting.
6 (b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which
7suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the
8school bus who do not have alternate transportation to school,
9shall have the opportunity to make up work for equivalent
10academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of a pupil's
11parent or guardian to notify school officials that a pupil
12suspended from the school bus does not have alternate
13transportation to school.
14 (c) The Department of Human Services shall be invited to
15send a representative to consult with the board at such meeting
16whenever there is evidence that mental illness may be the cause
17for expulsion or suspension.

11 by Section 921 of Title 18 of the United States Code,
12 firearm as defined in Section 1.1 of the Firearm Owners

16 superintendent, and the superintendent's determination may
17 be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis.
18 (2) A knife, brass knuckles or other knuckle weapon

1consistent with the federal Federal Individuals with
2Disabilities Education Act. A student who is subject to
3suspension or expulsion as provided in this Section may be
4eligible for a transfer to an alternative school program in
5accordance with Article 13A of the School Code.
6 (d-5) The board may suspend or by regulation authorize the
7superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
8principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend a
9student for a period not to exceed 10 school days or may expel
10a student for a definite period of time not to exceed 2
11calendar years, as determined on a case-by-case basis, if (i)
12that student has been determined to have made an explicit
13threat on an Internet website against a school employee, a
14student, or any school-related personnel, (ii) the Internet
15website through which the threat was made is a site that was
16accessible within the school at the time the threat was made or
17was available to third parties who worked or studied within the
18school grounds at the time the threat was made, and (iii) the
19threat could be reasonably interpreted as threatening to the
20safety and security of the threatened individual because of his
21or her duties or employment status or status as a student
22inside the school.
23 (e) To maintain order and security in the schools, school
24authorities may inspect and search places and areas such as
25lockers, desks, parking lots, and other school property and
26equipment owned or controlled by the school, as well as

1personal effects left in those places and areas by students,
2without notice to or the consent of the student, and without a
3search warrant. As a matter of public policy, the General
4Assembly finds that students have no reasonable expectation of
5privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects
6left in these places and areas. School authorities may request
7the assistance of law enforcement officials for the purpose of
8conducting inspections and searches of lockers, desks, parking
9lots, and other school property and equipment owned or
10controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or other
11illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including
12searches conducted through the use of specially trained dogs.
13If a search conducted in accordance with this Section produces
14evidence that the student has violated or is violating either
15the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,
16such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and
17disciplinary action may be taken. School authorities may also
18turn over such evidence to law enforcement authorities.

24public or private school in this or any other state, the
25student must complete the entire term of the suspension or
26expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A of

HB3249 Enrolled- 932 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
2under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the

4or staff in the alternative program.
5 (h) School officials shall not advise or encourage students
6to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic
7difficulties.

18 Sec. 22-80. Student athletes; concussions and head
19injuries.
20 (a) The General Assembly recognizes all of the following:
21 (1) Concussions are one of the most commonly reported
22 injuries in children and adolescents who participate in
23 sports and recreational activities. The Centers for
24 Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as
25 3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related

HB3249 Enrolled- 994 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 concussions occur in the United States each year. A
2 concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or
3 body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the
4 skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death is are
5 significant when a concussion or head injury is not
6 properly evaluated and managed.
7 (2) Concussions are a type of brain injury that can
8 range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain
9 normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or
10 unorganized sport or recreational activity and can result
11 from a fall or from players colliding with each other, the
12 ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or
13 without loss of consciousness, but the vast majority of
14 concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
15 (3) Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms of
16 a head injury leaves a young athlete especially vulnerable
17 to greater injury and even death. The General Assembly
18 recognizes that, despite having generally recognized
19 return-to-play standards for concussions and head
20 injuries, some affected youth athletes are prematurely
21 returned to play, resulting in actual or potential physical
22 injury or death to youth athletes in this State.
23 (4) Student athletes who have sustained a concussion
24 may need informal or formal accommodations, modifications
25 of curriculum, and monitoring by medical or academic staff
26 until the student is fully recovered. To that end, all

HB3249 Enrolled- 995 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 schools are encouraged to establish a return-to-learn
2 protocol that is based on peer-reviewed scientific
3 evidence consistent with Centers for Disease Control and
4 Prevention guidelines and conduct baseline testing for
5 student athletes.

7 As between teachers who have entered upon contractual
8continued service, the teacher or teachers with the shorter
9length of continuing service with the district shall be
10dismissed first unless an alternative method of determining the
11sequence of dismissal is established in a collective bargaining
12agreement or contract between the board and a professional
13faculty members' organization and except that this provision
14shall not impair the operation of any affirmative action
15program in the district, regardless of whether it exists by
16operation of law or is conducted on a voluntary basis by the
17board. Any teacher dismissed as a result of such decrease or
18discontinuance shall be paid all earned compensation on or
19before the third business day following the last day of pupil
20attendance in the regular school term.
21 If the board has any vacancies for the following school
22term or within one calendar year from the beginning of the
23following school term, the positions thereby becoming
24available shall be tendered to the teachers so removed or
25dismissed so far as they are legally qualified to hold such
26positions; provided, however, that if the number of honorable

HB3249 Enrolled- 1010 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1dismissal notices based on economic necessity exceeds 15% of
2the number of full-time full time equivalent positions filled
3by certified employees (excluding principals and
4administrative personnel) during the preceding school year,
5then if the board has any vacancies for the following school
6term or within 2 calendar years from the beginning of the
7following school term, the positions so becoming available
8shall be tendered to the teachers who were so notified and
9removed or dismissed whenever they are legally qualified to
10hold such positions. Each board shall, in consultation with any
11exclusive employee representatives, each year establish a
12list, categorized by positions, showing the length of
13continuing service of each teacher who is qualified to hold any
14such positions, unless an alternative method of determining a
15sequence of dismissal is established as provided for in this
16Section, in which case a list shall be made in accordance with
17the alternative method. Copies of the list shall be distributed
18to the exclusive employee representative on or before February
191 of each year. Whenever the number of honorable dismissal
20notices based upon economic necessity exceeds 5, or 150% of the
21average number of teachers honorably dismissed in the preceding
223 years, whichever is more, then the board also shall hold a
23public hearing on the question of the dismissals. Following the
24hearing and board review, the action to approve any such
25reduction shall require a majority vote of the board members.
26 (b) This subsection (b) applies only to honorable

HB3249 Enrolled- 1011 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1dismissals and recalls in which the notice of dismissal is
2provided during the 2011-2012 school term or a subsequent
3school term. If any teacher, whether or not in contractual
4continued service, is removed or dismissed as a result of a
5decision of a school board to decrease the number of teachers
6employed by the board, a decision of a school board to
7discontinue some particular type of teaching service, or a
8reduction in the number of programs or positions in a special
9education joint agreement, then written notice must be mailed
10to the teacher and also given to the teacher either by
11certified mail, return receipt requested, or personal delivery
12with receipt at least 45 days before the end of the school
13term, together with a statement of honorable dismissal and the
14reason therefor, and in all such cases the sequence of
15dismissal shall occur in accordance with this subsection (b);
16except that this subsection (b) shall not impair the operation
17of any affirmative action program in the school district,
18regardless of whether it exists by operation of law or is
19conducted on a voluntary basis by the board.
20 Each teacher must be categorized into one or more positions
21for which the teacher is qualified to hold, based upon legal
22qualifications and any other qualifications established in a
23district or joint agreement job description, on or before the
24May 10 prior to the school year during which the sequence of
25dismissal is determined. Within each position and subject to
26agreements made by the joint committee on honorable dismissals

HB3249 Enrolled- 1012 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1that are authorized by subsection (c) of this Section, the
2school district or joint agreement must establish 4 groupings
3of teachers qualified to hold the position as follows:
4 (1) Grouping one shall consist of each teacher who is
5 not in contractual continued service and who (i) has not
6 received a performance evaluation rating, (ii) is employed
7 for one school term or less to replace a teacher on leave,
8 or (iii) is employed on a part-time basis. "Part-time
9 basis" for the purposes of this subsection (b) means a
10 teacher who is employed to teach less than a full-day,
11 teacher workload or less than 5 days of the normal student
12 attendance week, unless otherwise provided for in a
13 collective bargaining agreement between the district and
14 the exclusive representative of the district's teachers.
15 For the purposes of this Section, a teacher (A) who is
16 employed as a full-time teacher but who actually teaches or
17 is otherwise present and participating in the district's
18 educational program for less than a school term or (B) who,
19 in the immediately previous school term, was employed on a
20 full-time basis and actually taught or was otherwise
21 present and participated in the district's educational
22 program for 120 days or more is not considered employed on
23 a part-time basis.
24 (2) Grouping 2 shall consist of each teacher with a
25 Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory performance evaluation
26 rating on either of the teacher's last 2 performance

HB3249 Enrolled- 1013 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 evaluation ratings.
2 (3) Grouping 3 shall consist of each teacher with a
3 performance evaluation rating of at least Satisfactory or
4 Proficient on both of the teacher's last 2 performance
5 evaluation ratings, if 2 ratings are available, or on the
6 teacher's last performance evaluation rating, if only one
7 rating is available, unless the teacher qualifies for
8 placement into grouping 4.
9 (4) Grouping 4 shall consist of each teacher whose last
10 2 performance evaluation ratings are Excellent and each
11 teacher with 2 Excellent performance evaluation ratings
12 out of the teacher's last 3 performance evaluation ratings
13 with a third rating of Satisfactory or Proficient.
14 Among teachers qualified to hold a position, teachers must
15be dismissed in the order of their groupings, with teachers in
16grouping one dismissed first and teachers in grouping 4
17dismissed last.
18 Within grouping one, the sequence of dismissal must be at
19the discretion of the school district or joint agreement.
20Within grouping 2, the sequence of dismissal must be based upon
21average performance evaluation ratings, with the teacher or
22teachers with the lowest average performance evaluation rating
23dismissed first. A teacher's average performance evaluation
24rating must be calculated using the average of the teacher's
25last 2 performance evaluation ratings, if 2 ratings are
26available, or the teacher's last performance evaluation

HB3249 Enrolled- 1014 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1rating, if only one rating is available, using the following
2numerical values: 4 for Excellent; 3 for Proficient or
3Satisfactory; 2 for Needs Improvement; and 1 for
4Unsatisfactory. As between or among teachers in grouping 2 with
5the same average performance evaluation rating and within each
6of groupings 3 and 4, the teacher or teachers with the shorter
7length of continuing service with the school district or joint
8agreement must be dismissed first unless an alternative method
9of determining the sequence of dismissal is established in a
10collective bargaining agreement or contract between the board
11and a professional faculty members' organization.
12 Each board, including the governing board of a joint
13agreement, shall, in consultation with any exclusive employee
14representatives, each year establish a sequence of honorable
15dismissal list categorized by positions and the groupings
16defined in this subsection (b). Copies of the list showing each
17teacher by name and categorized by positions and the groupings
18defined in this subsection (b) must be distributed to the
19exclusive bargaining representative at least 75 days before the
20end of the school term, provided that the school district or
21joint agreement may, with notice to any exclusive employee
22representatives, move teachers from grouping one into another
23grouping during the period of time from 75 days until 45 days
24before the end of the school term. Each year, each board shall
25also establish, in consultation with any exclusive employee
26representatives, a list showing the length of continuing

HB3249 Enrolled- 1015 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1service of each teacher who is qualified to hold any such
2positions, unless an alternative method of determining a
3sequence of dismissal is established as provided for in this
4Section, in which case a list must be made in accordance with
5the alternative method. Copies of the list must be distributed
6to the exclusive employee representative at least 75 days
7before the end of the school term.
8 Any teacher dismissed as a result of such decrease or
9discontinuance must be paid all earned compensation on or
10before the third business day following the last day of pupil
11attendance in the regular school term.
12 If the board or joint agreement has any vacancies for the
13following school term or within one calendar year from the
14beginning of the following school term, the positions thereby
15becoming available must be tendered to the teachers so removed
16or dismissed who were in groupings 3 or 4 of the sequence of
17dismissal and are qualified to hold the positions, based upon
18legal qualifications and any other qualifications established
19in a district or joint agreement job description, on or before
20the May 10 prior to the date of the positions becoming
21available, provided that if the number of honorable dismissal
22notices based on economic necessity exceeds 15% of the number
23of full-time equivalent positions filled by certified
24employees (excluding principals and administrative personnel)
25during the preceding school year, then the recall period is for
26the following school term or within 2 calendar years from the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1016 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1beginning of the following school term. If the board or joint
2agreement has any vacancies within the period from the
3beginning of the following school term through February 1 of
4the following school term (unless a date later than February 1,
5but no later than 6 months from the beginning of the following
6school term, is established in a collective bargaining
7agreement), the positions thereby becoming available must be
8tendered to the teachers so removed or dismissed who were in
9grouping 2 of the sequence of dismissal due to one "needs
10improvement" rating on either of the teacher's last 2
11performance evaluation ratings, provided that, if 2 ratings are
12available, the other performance evaluation rating used for
13grouping purposes is "satisfactory", "proficient", or
14"excellent", and are qualified to hold the positions, based
15upon legal qualifications and any other qualifications
16established in a district or joint agreement job description,
17on or before the May 10 prior to the date of the positions
18becoming available. On and after July 1, 2014 (the effective
19date of Public Act 98-648) this amendatory Act of the 98th
20General Assembly, the preceding sentence shall apply to
21teachers removed or dismissed by honorable dismissal, even if
22notice of honorable dismissal occurred during the 2013-2014
23school year. Among teachers eligible for recall pursuant to the
24preceding sentence, the order of recall must be in inverse
25order of dismissal, unless an alternative order of recall is
26established in a collective bargaining agreement or contract

HB3249 Enrolled- 1017 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1between the board and a professional faculty members'
2organization. Whenever the number of honorable dismissal
3notices based upon economic necessity exceeds 5 notices or 150%
4of the average number of teachers honorably dismissed in the
5preceding 3 years, whichever is more, then the school board or
6governing board of a joint agreement, as applicable, shall also
7hold a public hearing on the question of the dismissals.
8Following the hearing and board review, the action to approve
9any such reduction shall require a majority vote of the board
10members.
11 For purposes of this subsection (b), subject to agreement
12on an alternative definition reached by the joint committee
13described in subsection (c) of this Section, a teacher's
14performance evaluation rating means the overall performance
15evaluation rating resulting from an annual or biennial
16performance evaluation conducted pursuant to Article 24A of
17this Code by the school district or joint agreement determining
18the sequence of dismissal, not including any performance
19evaluation conducted during or at the end of a remediation
20period. No more than one evaluation rating each school term
21shall be one of the evaluation ratings used for the purpose of
22determining the sequence of dismissal. Except as otherwise
23provided in this subsection for any performance evaluations
24conducted during or at the end of a remediation period, if
25multiple performance evaluations are conducted in a school
26term, only the rating from the last evaluation conducted prior

HB3249 Enrolled- 1018 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1to establishing the sequence of honorable dismissal list in
2such school term shall be the one evaluation rating from that
3school term used for the purpose of determining the sequence of
4dismissal. Averaging ratings from multiple evaluations is not
5permitted unless otherwise agreed to in a collective bargaining
6agreement or contract between the board and a professional
7faculty members' organization. The preceding 3 sentences are
8not a legislative declaration that existing law does or does
9not already require that only one performance evaluation each
10school term shall be used for the purpose of determining the
11sequence of dismissal. For performance evaluation ratings
12determined prior to September 1, 2012, any school district or
13joint agreement with a performance evaluation rating system
14that does not use either of the rating category systems
15specified in subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this Code for
16all teachers must establish a basis for assigning each teacher
17a rating that complies with subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of
18this Code for all of the performance evaluation ratings that
19are to be used to determine the sequence of dismissal. A
20teacher's grouping and ranking on a sequence of honorable
21dismissal shall be deemed a part of the teacher's performance
22evaluation, and that information shall be disclosed to the
23exclusive bargaining representative as part of a sequence of
24honorable dismissal list, notwithstanding any laws prohibiting
25disclosure of such information. A performance evaluation
26rating may be used to determine the sequence of dismissal,

HB3249 Enrolled- 1019 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1notwithstanding the pendency of any grievance resolution or
2arbitration procedures relating to the performance evaluation.
3If a teacher has received at least one performance evaluation
4rating conducted by the school district or joint agreement
5determining the sequence of dismissal and a subsequent
6performance evaluation is not conducted in any school year in
7which such evaluation is required to be conducted under Section
824A-5 of this Code, the teacher's performance evaluation rating
9for that school year for purposes of determining the sequence
10of dismissal is deemed Proficient. If a performance evaluation
11rating is nullified as the result of an arbitration,
12administrative agency, or court determination, then the school
13district or joint agreement is deemed to have conducted a
14performance evaluation for that school year, but the
15performance evaluation rating may not be used in determining
16the sequence of dismissal.
17 Nothing in this subsection (b) shall be construed as
18limiting the right of a school board or governing board of a
19joint agreement to dismiss a teacher not in contractual
20continued service in accordance with Section 24-11 of this
21Code.
22 Any provisions regarding the sequence of honorable
23dismissals and recall of honorably dismissed teachers in a
24collective bargaining agreement entered into on or before
25January 1, 2011 and in effect on June 13, 2011 (the effective
26date of Public Act 97-8) this amendatory Act of the 97th

HB3249 Enrolled- 1020 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1General Assembly that may conflict with Public Act 97-8 this
2amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly shall remain in
3effect through the expiration of such agreement or June 30,
42013, whichever is earlier.
5 (c) Each school district and special education joint
6agreement must use a joint committee composed of equal
7representation selected by the school board and its teachers
8or, if applicable, the exclusive bargaining representative of
9its teachers, to address the matters described in paragraphs
10(1) through (5) of this subsection (c) pertaining to honorable
11dismissals under subsection (b) of this Section.
12 (1) The joint committee must consider and may agree to
13 criteria for excluding from grouping 2 and placing into
14 grouping 3 a teacher whose last 2 performance evaluations
15 include a Needs Improvement and either a Proficient or
16 Excellent.
17 (2) The joint committee must consider and may agree to
18 an alternative definition for grouping 4, which definition
19 must take into account prior performance evaluation
20 ratings and may take into account other factors that relate
21 to the school district's or program's educational
22 objectives. An alternative definition for grouping 4 may
23 not permit the inclusion of a teacher in the grouping with
24 a Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory performance
25 evaluation rating on either of the teacher's last 2
26 performance evaluation ratings.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1021 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (3) The joint committee may agree to including within
2 the definition of a performance evaluation rating a
3 performance evaluation rating administered by a school
4 district or joint agreement other than the school district
5 or joint agreement determining the sequence of dismissal.
6 (4) For each school district or joint agreement that
7 administers performance evaluation ratings that are
8 inconsistent with either of the rating category systems
9 specified in subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this Code,
10 the school district or joint agreement must consult with
11 the joint committee on the basis for assigning a rating
12 that complies with subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this
13 Code to each performance evaluation rating that will be
14 used in a sequence of dismissal.
15 (5) Upon request by a joint committee member submitted
16 to the employing board by no later than 10 days after the
17 distribution of the sequence of honorable dismissal list, a
18 representative of the employing board shall, within 5 days
19 after the request, provide to members of the joint
20 committee a list showing the most recent and prior
21 performance evaluation ratings of each teacher identified
22 only by length of continuing service in the district or
23 joint agreement and not by name. If, after review of this
24 list, a member of the joint committee has a good faith
25 belief that a disproportionate number of teachers with
26 greater length of continuing service with the district or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1022 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 joint agreement have received a recent performance
2 evaluation rating lower than the prior rating, the member
3 may request that the joint committee review the list to
4 assess whether such a trend may exist. Following the joint
5 committee's review, but by no later than the end of the
6 applicable school term, the joint committee or any member
7 or members of the joint committee may submit a report of
8 the review to the employing board and exclusive bargaining
9 representative, if any. Nothing in this paragraph (5) shall
10 impact the order of honorable dismissal or a school
11 district's or joint agreement's authority to carry out a
12 dismissal in accordance with subsection (b) of this
13 Section.
14 Agreement by the joint committee as to a matter requires
15the majority vote of all committee members, and if the joint
16committee does not reach agreement on a matter, then the
17otherwise applicable requirements of subsection (b) of this
18Section shall apply. Except as explicitly set forth in this
19subsection (c), a joint committee has no authority to agree to
20any further modifications to the requirements for honorable
21dismissals set forth in subsection (b) of this Section. The
22joint committee must be established, and the first meeting of
23the joint committee each school year must occur on or before
24December 1.
25 The joint committee must reach agreement on a matter on or
26before February 1 of a school year in order for the agreement

HB3249 Enrolled- 1023 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1of the joint committee to apply to the sequence of dismissal
2determined during that school year. Subject to the February 1
3deadline for agreements, the agreement of a joint committee on
4a matter shall apply to the sequence of dismissal until the
5agreement is amended or terminated by the joint committee.
6 The provisions of the Open Meetings Act shall not apply to
7meetings of a joint committee created under this subsection
8(c).
9 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
10subsection (d), the requirements and dismissal procedures of
11Section 24-16.5 of this Code shall apply to any dismissal
12sought under Section 24-16.5 of this Code.
13 (1) If a dismissal of a teacher in contractual
14 continued service is sought for any reason or cause other
15 than an honorable dismissal under subsections (a) or (b) of
16 this Section or a dismissal sought under Section 24-16.5 of
17 this Code, including those under Section 10-22.4, the board
18 must first approve a motion containing specific charges by
19 a majority vote of all its members. Written notice of such
20 charges, including a bill of particulars and the teacher's
21 right to request a hearing, must be mailed to the teacher
22 and also given to the teacher either by certified mail,
23 return receipt requested, or personal delivery with
24 receipt within 5 days of the adoption of the motion. Any
25 written notice sent on or after July 1, 2012 shall inform
26 the teacher of the right to request a hearing before a

HB3249 Enrolled- 1024 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 mutually selected hearing officer, with the cost of the
2 hearing officer split equally between the teacher and the
3 board, or a hearing before a board-selected hearing
4 officer, with the cost of the hearing officer paid by the
5 board.
6 Before setting a hearing on charges stemming from
7 causes that are considered remediable, a board must give
8 the teacher reasonable warning in writing, stating
9 specifically the causes that, if not removed, may result in
10 charges; however, no such written warning is required if
11 the causes have been the subject of a remediation plan
12 pursuant to Article 24A of this Code.
13 If, in the opinion of the board, the interests of the
14 school require it, the board may suspend the teacher
15 without pay, pending the hearing, but if the board's
16 dismissal or removal is not sustained, the teacher shall
17 not suffer the loss of any salary or benefits by reason of
18 the suspension.
19 (2) No hearing upon the charges is required unless the
20 teacher within 17 days after receiving notice requests in
21 writing of the board that a hearing be scheduled before a
22 mutually selected hearing officer or a hearing officer
23 selected by the board. The secretary of the school board
24 shall forward a copy of the notice to the State Board of
25 Education.
26 (3) Within 5 business days after receiving a notice of

HB3249 Enrolled- 1025 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 hearing in which either notice to the teacher was sent
2 before July 1, 2012 or, if the notice was sent on or after
3 July 1, 2012, the teacher has requested a hearing before a
4 mutually selected hearing officer, the State Board of
5 Education shall provide a list of 5 prospective, impartial
6 hearing officers from the master list of qualified,
7 impartial hearing officers maintained by the State Board of
8 Education. Each person on the master list must (i) be
9 accredited by a national arbitration organization and have
10 had a minimum of 5 years of experience directly related to
11 labor and employment relations matters between employers
12 and employees or their exclusive bargaining
13 representatives and (ii) beginning September 1, 2012, have
14 participated in training provided or approved by the State
15 Board of Education for teacher dismissal hearing officers
16 so that he or she is familiar with issues generally
17 involved in evaluative and non-evaluative dismissals.
18 If notice to the teacher was sent before July 1, 2012
19 or, if the notice was sent on or after July 1, 2012, the
20 teacher has requested a hearing before a mutually selected
21 hearing officer, the board and the teacher or their legal
22 representatives within 3 business days shall alternately
23 strike one name from the list provided by the State Board
24 of Education until only one name remains. Unless waived by
25 the teacher, the teacher shall have the right to proceed
26 first with the striking. Within 3 business days of receipt

HB3249 Enrolled- 1026 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 of the list provided by the State Board of Education, the
2 board and the teacher or their legal representatives shall
3 each have the right to reject all prospective hearing
4 officers named on the list and notify the State Board of
5 Education of such rejection. Within 3 business days after
6 receiving this notification, the State Board of Education
7 shall appoint a qualified person from the master list who
8 did not appear on the list sent to the parties to serve as
9 the hearing officer, unless the parties notify it that they
10 have chosen to alternatively select a hearing officer under
11 paragraph (4) of this subsection (d).
12 If the teacher has requested a hearing before a hearing
13 officer selected by the board, the board shall select one
14 name from the master list of qualified impartial hearing
15 officers maintained by the State Board of Education within
16 3 business days after receipt and shall notify the State
17 Board of Education of its selection.
18 A hearing officer mutually selected by the parties,
19 selected by the board, or selected through an alternative
20 selection process under paragraph (4) of this subsection
21 (d) (A) must not be a resident of the school district, (B)
22 must be available to commence the hearing within 75 days
23 and conclude the hearing within 120 days after being
24 selected as the hearing officer, and (C) must issue a
25 decision as to whether the teacher must be dismissed and
26 give a copy of that decision to both the teacher and the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1027 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 board within 30 days from the conclusion of the hearing or
2 closure of the record, whichever is later.
3 (4) In the alternative to selecting a hearing officer
4 from the list received from the State Board of Education or
5 accepting the appointment of a hearing officer by the State
6 Board of Education or if the State Board of Education
7 cannot provide a list or appoint a hearing officer that
8 meets the foregoing requirements, the board and the teacher
9 or their legal representatives may mutually agree to select
10 an impartial hearing officer who is not on the master list
11 either by direct appointment by the parties or by using
12 procedures for the appointment of an arbitrator
13 established by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation
14 Service or the American Arbitration Association. The
15 parties shall notify the State Board of Education of their
16 intent to select a hearing officer using an alternative
17 procedure within 3 business days of receipt of a list of
18 prospective hearing officers provided by the State Board of
19 Education, notice of appointment of a hearing officer by
20 the State Board of Education, or receipt of notice from the
21 State Board of Education that it cannot provide a list that
22 meets the foregoing requirements, whichever is later.
23 (5) If the notice of dismissal was sent to the teacher
24 before July 1, 2012, the fees and costs for the hearing

26 the notice of dismissal was sent to the teacher on or after

HB3249 Enrolled- 1028 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 July 1, 2012, the hearing officer's fees and costs must be
2 paid as follows in this paragraph (5). The fees and
3 permissible costs for the hearing officer must be
4 determined by the State Board of Education. If the board
5 and the teacher or their legal representatives mutually
6 agree to select an impartial hearing officer who is not on
7 a list received from the State Board of Education, they may
8 agree to supplement the fees determined by the State Board
9 to the hearing officer, at a rate consistent with the
10 hearing officer's published professional fees. If the
11 hearing officer is mutually selected by the parties, then
12 the board and the teacher or their legal representatives
13 shall each pay 50% of the fees and costs and any
14 supplemental allowance to which they agree. If the hearing
15 officer is selected by the board, then the board shall pay
16 100% of the hearing officer's fees and costs. The fees and
17 costs must be paid to the hearing officer within 14 days
18 after the board and the teacher or their legal
19 representatives receive the hearing officer's decision set
20 forth in paragraph (7) of this subsection (d).
21 (6) The teacher is required to answer the bill of
22 particulars and aver affirmative matters in his or her
23 defense, and the time for initially doing so and the time
24 for updating such answer and defenses after pre-hearing
25 discovery must be set by the hearing officer. The State
26 Board of Education shall promulgate rules so that each

HB3249 Enrolled- 1029 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 party has a fair opportunity to present its case and to
2 ensure that the dismissal process proceeds in a fair and
3 expeditious manner. These rules shall address, without
4 limitation, discovery and hearing scheduling conferences;
5 the teacher's initial answer and affirmative defenses to
6 the bill of particulars and the updating of that
7 information after pre-hearing discovery; provision for
8 written interrogatories and requests for production of
9 documents; the requirement that each party initially
10 disclose to the other party and then update the disclosure
11 no later than 10 calendar days prior to the commencement of
12 the hearing, the names and addresses of persons who may be
13 called as witnesses at the hearing, a summary of the facts
14 or opinions each witness will testify to, and all other
15 documents and materials, including information maintained
16 electronically, relevant to its own as well as the other
17 party's case (the hearing officer may exclude witnesses and
18 exhibits not identified and shared, except those offered in
19 rebuttal for which the party could not reasonably have
20 anticipated prior to the hearing); pre-hearing discovery
21 and preparation, including provision for written
22 interrogatories and requests for production of documents,
23 provided that discovery depositions are prohibited; the
24 conduct of the hearing; the right of each party to be
25 represented by counsel, the offer of evidence and witnesses
26 and the cross-examination of witnesses; the authority of

HB3249 Enrolled- 1030 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the hearing officer to issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces
2 tecum, provided that the hearing officer may limit the
3 number of witnesses to be subpoenaed on behalf of each
4 party to no more than 7; the length of post-hearing briefs;
5 and the form, length, and content of hearing officers'
6 decisions. The hearing officer shall hold a hearing and
7 render a final decision for dismissal pursuant to Article
8 24A of this Code or shall report to the school board
9 findings of fact and a recommendation as to whether or not
10 the teacher must be dismissed for conduct. The hearing
11 officer shall commence the hearing within 75 days and
12 conclude the hearing within 120 days after being selected
13 as the hearing officer, provided that the hearing officer
14 may modify these timelines upon the showing of good cause
15 or mutual agreement of the parties. Good cause for the
16 purpose of this subsection (d) shall mean the illness or
17 otherwise unavoidable emergency of the teacher, district
18 representative, their legal representatives, the hearing
19 officer, or an essential witness as indicated in each
20 party's pre-hearing submission. In a dismissal hearing
21 pursuant to Article 24A of this Code, the hearing officer
22 shall consider and give weight to all of the teacher's
23 evaluations written pursuant to Article 24A that are
24 relevant to the issues in the hearing.
25 Each party shall have no more than 3 days to present
26 its case, unless extended by the hearing officer to enable

HB3249 Enrolled- 1031 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 a party to present adequate evidence and testimony,
2 including due to the other party's cross-examination of the
3 party's witnesses, for good cause or by mutual agreement of
4 the parties. The State Board of Education shall define in
5 rules the meaning of "day" for such purposes. All testimony
6 at the hearing shall be taken under oath administered by
7 the hearing officer. The hearing officer shall cause a
8 record of the proceedings to be kept and shall employ a
9 competent reporter to take stenographic or stenotype notes
10 of all the testimony. The costs of the reporter's
11 attendance and services at the hearing shall be paid by the
12 party or parties who are responsible for paying the fees
13 and costs of the hearing officer. Either party desiring a
14 transcript of the hearing shall pay for the cost thereof.
15 Any post-hearing briefs must be submitted by the parties by
16 no later than 21 days after a party's receipt of the
17 transcript of the hearing, unless extended by the hearing
18 officer for good cause or by mutual agreement of the
19 parties.
20 (7) The hearing officer shall, within 30 days from the
21 conclusion of the hearing or closure of the record,
22 whichever is later, make a decision as to whether or not
23 the teacher shall be dismissed pursuant to Article 24A of
24 this Code or report to the school board findings of fact
25 and a recommendation as to whether or not the teacher shall
26 be dismissed for cause and shall give a copy of the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1032 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 decision or findings of fact and recommendation to both the
2 teacher and the school board. If a hearing officer fails
3 without good cause, specifically provided in writing to
4 both parties and the State Board of Education, to render a
5 decision or findings of fact and recommendation within 30
6 days after the hearing is concluded or the record is
7 closed, whichever is later, the parties may mutually agree
8 to select a hearing officer pursuant to the alternative
9 procedure, as provided in this Section, to rehear the
10 charges heard by the hearing officer who failed to render a
11 decision or findings of fact and recommendation or to
12 review the record and render a decision. If any hearing
13 officer fails without good cause, specifically provided in
14 writing to both parties and the State Board of Education,
15 to render a decision or findings of fact and recommendation
16 within 30 days after the hearing is concluded or the record
17 is closed, whichever is later, the hearing officer shall be
18 removed from the master list of hearing officers maintained
19 by the State Board of Education for not more than 24
20 months. The parties and the State Board of Education may
21 also take such other actions as it deems appropriate,
22 including recovering, reducing, or withholding any fees
23 paid or to be paid to the hearing officer. If any hearing
24 officer repeats such failure, he or she must be permanently
25 removed from the master list maintained by the State Board
26 of Education and may not be selected by parties through the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1033 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 alternative selection process under this paragraph (7) or
2 paragraph (4) of this subsection (d). The board shall not
3 lose jurisdiction to discharge a teacher if the hearing
4 officer fails to render a decision or findings of fact and
5 recommendation within the time specified in this Section.
6 If the decision of the hearing officer for dismissal
7 pursuant to Article 24A of this Code or of the school board
8 for dismissal for cause is in favor of the teacher, then
9 the hearing officer or school board shall order
10 reinstatement to the same or substantially equivalent
11 position and shall determine the amount for which the
12 school board is liable, including, but not limited to, loss
13 of income and benefits.
14 (8) The school board, within 45 days after receipt of
15 the hearing officer's findings of fact and recommendation
16 as to whether (i) the conduct at issue occurred, (ii) the
17 conduct that did occur was remediable, and (iii) the
18 proposed dismissal should be sustained, shall issue a
19 written order as to whether the teacher must be retained or
20 dismissed for cause from its employ. The school board's
21 written order shall incorporate the hearing officer's
22 findings of fact, except that the school board may modify
23 or supplement the findings of fact if, in its opinion, the
24 findings of fact are against the manifest weight of the
25 evidence.
26 If the school board dismisses the teacher

HB3249 Enrolled- 1034 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 notwithstanding the hearing officer's findings of fact and
2 recommendation, the school board shall make a conclusion in
3 its written order, giving its reasons therefor, and such
4 conclusion and reasons must be included in its written
5 order. The failure of the school board to strictly adhere
6 to the timelines contained in this Section shall not render
7 it without jurisdiction to dismiss the teacher. The school
8 board shall not lose jurisdiction to discharge the teacher
9 for cause if the hearing officer fails to render a
10 recommendation within the time specified in this Section.
11 The decision of the school board is final, unless reviewed
12 as provided in paragraph (9) of this subsection (d).
13 If the school board retains the teacher, the school
14 board shall enter a written order stating the amount of
15 back pay and lost benefits, less mitigation, to be paid to
16 the teacher, within 45 days after its retention order.
17 Should the teacher object to the amount of the back pay and
18 lost benefits or amount mitigated, the teacher shall give
19 written objections to the amount within 21 days. If the
20 parties fail to reach resolution within 7 days, the dispute
21 shall be referred to the hearing officer, who shall
22 consider the school board's written order and teacher's
23 written objection and determine the amount to which the
24 school board is liable. The costs of the hearing officer's
25 review and determination must be paid by the board.
26 (9) The decision of the hearing officer pursuant to

HB3249 Enrolled- 1035 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Article 24A of this Code or of the school board's decision
2 to dismiss for cause is final unless reviewed as provided
3 in Section 24-16 of this Code Act. If the school board's
4 decision to dismiss for cause is contrary to the hearing
5 officer's recommendation, the court on review shall give
6 consideration to the school board's decision and its
7 supplemental findings of fact, if applicable, and the
8 hearing officer's findings of fact and recommendation in
9 making its decision. In the event such review is
10 instituted, the school board shall be responsible for
11 preparing and filing the record of proceedings, and such
12 costs associated therewith must be divided equally between
13 the parties.
14 (10) If a decision of the hearing officer for dismissal
15 pursuant to Article 24A of this Code or of the school board
16 for dismissal for cause is adjudicated upon review or
17 appeal in favor of the teacher, then the trial court shall
18 order reinstatement and shall remand the matter to the
19 school board with direction for entry of an order setting
20 the amount of back pay, lost benefits, and costs, less
21 mitigation. The teacher may challenge the school board's
22 order setting the amount of back pay, lost benefits, and
23 costs, less mitigation, through an expedited arbitration
24 procedure, with the costs of the arbitrator borne by the
25 school board.
26 Any teacher who is reinstated by any hearing or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1036 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 adjudication brought under this Section shall be assigned
2 by the board to a position substantially similar to the one
3 which that teacher held prior to that teacher's suspension
4 or dismissal.
5 (11) Subject to any later effective date referenced in
6 this Section for a specific aspect of the dismissal
7 process, the changes made by Public Act 97-8 shall apply to
8 dismissals instituted on or after September 1, 2011. Any
9 dismissal instituted prior to September 1, 2011 must be
10 carried out in accordance with the requirements of this
11 Section prior to amendment by Public Act 97-8.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1046 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1medicine in all of its branches must review and sign all
2required report forms. Licensed dentists shall perform all
3dental examinations and shall sign all report forms required by
4subsection (4) of this Section that pertain to the dental
5examinations. Physicians licensed to practice medicine in all
6its branches or licensed optometrists shall perform all eye
7examinations required by this Section and shall sign all report
8forms required by subsection (4) of this Section that pertain
9to the eye examination. For purposes of this Section, an eye
10examination shall at a minimum include history, visual acuity,
11subjective refraction to best visual acuity near and far,
12internal and external examination, and a glaucoma evaluation,
13as well as any other tests or observations that in the
14professional judgment of the doctor are necessary. Vision and
15hearing screening tests, which shall not be considered
16examinations as that term is used in this Section, shall be
17conducted in accordance with rules and regulations of the
18Department of Public Health, and by individuals whom the
19Department of Public Health has certified. In these rules and
20regulations, the Department of Public Health shall require that
21individuals conducting vision screening tests give a child's
22parent or guardian written notification, before the vision
23screening is conducted, that states, "Vision screening is not a
24substitute for a complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye
25doctor. Your child is not required to undergo this vision
26screening if an optometrist or ophthalmologist has completed

HB3249 Enrolled- 1047 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1and signed a report form indicating that an examination has
2been administered within the previous 12 months.".
3 (2.5) With respect to the developmental screening and the
4social and emotional screening portion of the health
5examination, each child may present proof of having been
6screened in accordance with this Section and the rules adopted
7under this Section before October 15th of the school year. With
8regard to the social and emotional screening only, the
9examining health care provider shall only record whether or not
10the screening was completed. If the child fails to present
11proof of the developmental screening or the social and
12emotional screening portions of the health examination by
13October 15th of the school year, qualified school support
14personnel may, with a parent's or guardian's consent, offer the
15developmental screening or the social and emotional screening
16to the child. Each public, private, and parochial school must
17give notice of the developmental screening and social and
18emotional screening requirements to the parents and guardians
19of students in compliance with the rules of the Department of
20Public Health. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
21allow a school to exclude a child from attending because of a
22parent's or guardian's failure to obtain a developmental
23screening or a social and emotional screening for the child.
24Once a developmental screening or a social and emotional
25screening is completed and proof has been presented to the
26school, the school may, with a parent's or guardian's consent,

HB3249 Enrolled- 1048 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1make available appropriate school personnel to work with the
2parent or guardian, the child, and the provider who signed the
3screening form to obtain any appropriate evaluations and
4services as indicated on the form and in other information and
5documentation provided by the parents, guardians, or provider.
6 (3) Every child shall, at or about the same time as he or
7she receives a health examination required by subsection (1) of
8this Section, present to the local school proof of having
9received such immunizations against preventable communicable
10diseases as the Department of Public Health shall require by
11rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this Section and
12the Communicable Disease Prevention Act.
13 (4) The individuals conducting the health examination,
14dental examination, or eye examination shall record the fact of
15having conducted the examination, and such additional
16information as required, including for a health examination
17data relating to asthma and obesity (including at a minimum,
18date of birth, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and date
19of exam), on uniform forms which the Department of Public
20Health and the State Board of Education shall prescribe for
21statewide use. The examiner shall summarize on the report form
22any condition that he or she suspects indicates a need for
23special services, including for a health examination factors
24relating to asthma or obesity. The duty to summarize on the
25report form does not apply to social and emotional screenings.
26The confidentiality of the information and records relating to

HB3249 Enrolled- 1049 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1the developmental screening and the social and emotional
2screening shall be determined by the statutes, rules, and
3professional ethics governing the type of provider conducting
4the screening. The individuals confirming the administration
5of required immunizations shall record as indicated on the form
6that the immunizations were administered.
7 (5) If a child does not submit proof of having had either
8the health examination or the immunization as required, then
9the child shall be examined or receive the immunization, as the
10case may be, and present proof by October 15 of the current
11school year, or by an earlier date of the current school year
12established by a school district. To establish a date before
13October 15 of the current school year for the health
14examination or immunization as required, a school district must
15give notice of the requirements of this Section 60 days prior
16to the earlier established date. If for medical reasons one or
17more of the required immunizations must be given after October
1815 of the current school year, or after an earlier established
19date of the current school year, then the child shall present,
20by October 15, or by the earlier established date, a schedule
21for the administration of the immunizations and a statement of
22the medical reasons causing the delay, both the schedule and
23the statement being issued by the physician, advanced practice
24registered nurse, physician assistant, registered nurse, or
25local health department that will be responsible for
26administration of the remaining required immunizations. If a

HB3249 Enrolled- 1050 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1child does not comply by October 15, or by the earlier
2established date of the current school year, with the
3requirements of this subsection, then the local school
4authority shall exclude that child from school until such time
5as the child presents proof of having had the health
6examination as required and presents proof of having received
7those required immunizations which are medically possible to
8receive immediately. During a child's exclusion from school for
9noncompliance with this subsection, the child's parents or
10legal guardian shall be considered in violation of Section 26-1
11and subject to any penalty imposed by Section 26-10. This
12subsection (5) does not apply to dental examinations, eye
13examinations, and the developmental screening and the social
14and emotional screening portions of the health examination. If
15the student is an out-of-state transfer student and does not
16have the proof required under this subsection (5) before
17October 15 of the current year or whatever date is set by the
18school district, then he or she may only attend classes (i) if
19he or she has proof that an appointment for the required
20vaccinations has been scheduled with a party authorized to
21submit proof of the required vaccinations. If the proof of
22vaccination required under this subsection (5) is not submitted
23within 30 days after the student is permitted to attend
24classes, then the student is not to be permitted to attend
25classes until proof of the vaccinations has been properly
26submitted. No school district or employee of a school district

HB3249 Enrolled- 1051 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1shall be held liable for any injury or illness to another
2person that results from admitting an out-of-state transfer
3student to class that has an appointment scheduled pursuant to
4this subsection (5).
5 (6) Every school shall report to the State Board of
6Education by November 15, in the manner which that agency shall
7require, the number of children who have received the necessary
8immunizations and the health examination (other than a dental
9examination or eye examination) as required, indicating, of
10those who have not received the immunizations and examination
11as required, the number of children who are exempt from health
12examination and immunization requirements on religious or
13medical grounds as provided in subsection (8). On or before
14December 1 of each year, every public school district and
15registered nonpublic school shall make publicly available the
16immunization data they are required to submit to the State
17Board of Education by November 15. The immunization data made
18publicly available must be identical to the data the school
19district or school has reported to the State Board of
20Education.
21 Every school shall report to the State Board of Education
22by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the
23number of children who have received the required dental
24examination, indicating, of those who have not received the
25required dental examination, the number of children who are
26exempt from the dental examination on religious grounds as

HB3249 Enrolled- 1052 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1provided in subsection (8) of this Section and the number of
2children who have received a waiver under subsection (1.5) of
3this Section.
4 Every school shall report to the State Board of Education
5by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the
6number of children who have received the required eye
7examination, indicating, of those who have not received the
8required eye examination, the number of children who are exempt
9from the eye examination as provided in subsection (8) of this
10Section, the number of children who have received a waiver
11under subsection (1.10) of this Section, and the total number
12of children in noncompliance with the eye examination
13requirement.
14 The reported information under this subsection (6) shall be
15provided to the Department of Public Health by the State Board
16of Education.
17 (7) Upon determining that the number of pupils who are
18required to be in compliance with subsection (5) of this
19Section is below 90% of the number of pupils enrolled in the
20school district, 10% of each State aid payment made pursuant to
21Section 18-8.05 or 18-8.15 to the school district for such year
22may be withheld by the State Board of Education until the
23number of students in compliance with subsection (5) is the
24applicable specified percentage or higher.
25 (8) Children of parents or legal guardians who object to
26health, dental, or eye examinations or any part thereof, to

HB3249 Enrolled- 1053 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1immunizations, or to vision and hearing screening tests on
2religious grounds shall not be required to undergo the
3examinations, tests, or immunizations to which they so object
4if such parents or legal guardians present to the appropriate
5local school authority a signed Certificate of Religious
6Exemption detailing the grounds for objection and the specific
7immunizations, tests, or examinations to which they object. The
8grounds for objection must set forth the specific religious
9belief that conflicts with the examination, test,
10immunization, or other medical intervention. The signed
11certificate shall also reflect the parent's or legal guardian's
12understanding of the school's exclusion policies in the case of
13a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak or exposure. The
14certificate must also be signed by the authorized examining
15health care provider responsible for the performance of the
16child's health examination confirming that the provider
17provided education to the parent or legal guardian on the
18benefits of immunization and the health risks to the student
19and to the community of the communicable diseases for which
20immunization is required in this State. However, the health
21care provider's signature on the certificate reflects only that
22education was provided and does not allow a health care
23provider grounds to determine a religious exemption. Those
24receiving immunizations required under this Code shall be
25provided with the relevant vaccine information statements that
26are required to be disseminated by the federal National

HB3249 Enrolled- 1054 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which may contain
2information on circumstances when a vaccine should not be
3administered, prior to administering a vaccine. A healthcare
4provider may consider including without limitation the
5nationally accepted recommendations from federal agencies such
6as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the
7information outlined in the relevant vaccine information
8statement, and vaccine package inserts, along with the
9healthcare provider's clinical judgment, to determine whether
10any child may be more susceptible to experiencing an adverse
11vaccine reaction than the general population, and, if so, the
12healthcare provider may exempt the child from an immunization
13or adopt an individualized immunization schedule. The
14Certificate of Religious Exemption shall be created by the
15Department of Public Health and shall be made available and
16used by parents and legal guardians by the beginning of the
172015-2016 school year. Parents or legal guardians must submit
18the Certificate of Religious Exemption to their local school
19authority prior to entering kindergarten, sixth grade, and
20ninth grade for each child for which they are requesting an
21exemption. The religious objection stated need not be directed
22by the tenets of an established religious organization.
23However, general philosophical or moral reluctance to allow
24physical examinations, eye examinations, immunizations, vision
25and hearing screenings, or dental examinations does not provide
26a sufficient basis for an exception to statutory requirements.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1055 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1The local school authority is responsible for determining if
2the content of the Certificate of Religious Exemption
3constitutes a valid religious objection. The local school
4authority shall inform the parent or legal guardian of
5exclusion procedures, in accordance with the Department's
6rules under Part 690 of Title 77 of the Illinois Administrative
7Code, at the time the objection is presented.
8 If the physical condition of the child is such that any one
9or more of the immunizing agents should not be administered,
10the examining physician, advanced practice registered nurse,
11or physician assistant responsible for the performance of the
12health examination shall endorse that fact upon the health
13examination form.
14 Exempting a child from the health, dental, or eye
15examination does not exempt the child from participation in the
16program of physical education training provided in Sections
1727-5 through 27-7 of this Code.
18 (8.5) The school board of a school district shall include
19informational materials regarding influenza and influenza
20vaccinations and meningococcal disease and meningococcal
21vaccinations developed, provided, or approved by the
22Department of Public Health under Section 2310-700 of the
23Department of Public Health Powers and Duties Law of the Civil
24Administrative Code of Illinois when the board provides
25information on immunizations, infectious diseases,
26medications, or other school health issues to the parents or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1056 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1guardians of students.
2 (9) For the purposes of this Section, "nursery schools"
3means those nursery schools operated by elementary school
4systems or secondary level school units or institutions of
5higher learning.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1088 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Sec. 35. Monetary award program.
2 (a) The Commission shall, each year, receive and consider
3applications for grant assistance under this Section. Subject
4to a separate appropriation for such purposes, an applicant is
5eligible for a grant under this Section when the Commission
6finds that the applicant:
7 (1) is a resident of this State and a citizen or
8 permanent resident of the United States; and
9 (2) in the absence of grant assistance, will be
10 deterred by financial considerations from completing an
11 educational program at the qualified institution of his or
12 her choice.
13 (b) The Commission shall award renewals only upon the
14student's application and upon the Commission's finding that
15the applicant:
16 (1) has remained a student in good standing;
17 (2) remains a resident of this State; and
18 (3) is in a financial situation that continues to
19 warrant assistance.
20 (c) All grants shall be applicable only to tuition and
21necessary fee costs. The Commission shall determine the grant
22amount for each student, which shall not exceed the smallest of
23the following amounts:
24 (1) subject to appropriation, $5,468 for fiscal year
25 2009, $5,968 for fiscal year 2010, and $6,468 for fiscal
26 year 2011 and each fiscal year thereafter, or such lesser

HB3249 Enrolled- 1089 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 amount as the Commission finds to be available, during an
2 academic year;
3 (2) the amount which equals 2 semesters or 3 quarters
4 tuition and other necessary fees required generally by the
5 institution of all full-time undergraduate students; or
6 (3) such amount as the Commission finds to be
7 appropriate in view of the applicant's financial
8 resources.
9 Subject to appropriation, the maximum grant amount for
10students not subject to subdivision (1) of this subsection (c)
11must be increased by the same percentage as any increase made
12by law to the maximum grant amount under subdivision (1) of
13this subsection (c).
14 "Tuition and other necessary fees" as used in this Section
15include the customary charge for instruction and use of
16facilities in general, and the additional fixed fees charged
17for specified purposes, which are required generally of
18nongrant recipients for each academic period for which the
19grant applicant actually enrolls, but do not include fees
20payable only once or breakage fees and other contingent
21deposits which are refundable in whole or in part. The
22Commission may prescribe, by rule not inconsistent with this
23Section, detailed provisions concerning the computation of
24tuition and other necessary fees.
25 (d) No applicant, including those presently receiving
26scholarship assistance under this Act, is eligible for monetary

HB3249 Enrolled- 1090 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1award program consideration under this Act after receiving a
2baccalaureate degree or the equivalent of 135 semester credit
3hours of award payments.
4 (d-5) In this subsection (d-5), "renewing applicant" means
5a student attending an institution of higher learning who
6received a Monetary Award Program grant during the prior
7academic year. Beginning with the processing of applications
8for the 2020-2021 academic year, the Commission shall annually
9publish a priority deadline date for renewing applicants.
10Subject to appropriation, a renewing applicant who files by the
11published priority deadline date shall receive a grant if he or
12she continues to meet the eligibility requirements under this
13Section. A renewing applicant's failure to apply by the
14priority deadline date established under this subsection (d-5)
15shall not disqualify him or her from receiving a grant if
16sufficient funding is available to provide awards after that
17date.
18 (e) The Commission, in determining the number of grants to
19be offered, shall take into consideration past experience with
20the rate of grant funds unclaimed by recipients. The Commission
21shall notify applicants that grant assistance is contingent
22upon the availability of appropriated funds.
23 (e-5) The General Assembly finds and declares that it is an
24important purpose of the Monetary Award Program to facilitate
25access to college both for students who pursue postsecondary
26education immediately following high school and for those who

HB3249 Enrolled- 1091 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1pursue postsecondary education later in life, particularly
2Illinoisans who are dislocated workers with financial need and
3who are seeking to improve their economic position through
4education. For the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic years, the
5Commission shall give additional and specific consideration to
6the needs of dislocated workers with the intent of allowing
7applicants who are dislocated workers an opportunity to secure
8financial assistance even if applying later than the general
9pool of applicants. The Commission's consideration shall
10include, in determining the number of grants to be offered, an
11estimate of the resources needed to serve dislocated workers
12who apply after the Commission initially suspends award
13announcements for the upcoming regular academic year, but prior
14to the beginning of that academic year. For the purposes of
15this subsection (e-5), a dislocated worker is defined as in the
16federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
17 (f) (Blank).
18 (g) The Commission shall determine the eligibility of and

21 Sec. 65.100. AIM HIGH Grant Pilot Program.
22 (a) The General Assembly makes all of the following
23findings:
24 (1) Both access and affordability are important
25 aspects of the Illinois Public Agenda for College and

HB3249 Enrolled- 1095 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Career Success report.
2 (2) This State is in the top quartile with respect to
3 the percentage of family income needed to pay for college.
4 (3) Research suggests that as loan amounts increase,
5 rather than an increase in grant amounts, the probability
6 of college attendance decreases.
7 (4) There is further research indicating that
8 socioeconomic status may affect the willingness of
9 students to use loans to attend college.
10 (5) Strategic use of tuition discounting can decrease
11 the amount of loans that students must use to pay for
12 tuition.
13 (6) A modest, individually tailored tuition discount
14 can make the difference in a student choosing to attend
15 college and enhance college access for low-income and
16 middle-income families.
17 (7) Even if the federally calculated financial need for
18 college attendance is met, the federally determined
19 Expected Family Contribution can still be a daunting
20 amount.
21 (8) This State is the second largest exporter of
22 students in the country.
23 (9) When talented Illinois students attend
24 universities in this State, the State and those
25 universities benefit.
26 (10) State universities in other states have adopted

HB3249 Enrolled- 1096 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 pricing and incentives that allow many Illinois residents
2 to pay less to attend an out-of-state university than to
3 remain in this State for college.
4 (11) Supporting Illinois student attendance at
5 Illinois public universities can assist in State efforts to
6 maintain and educate a highly trained workforce.
7 (12) Modest tuition discounts that are individually
8 targeted and tailored can result in enhanced revenue for
9 public universities.
10 (13) By increasing a public university's capacity to
11 strategically use tuition discounting, the public
12 university will be capable of creating enhanced tuition
13 revenue by increasing enrollment yields.
14 (b) In this Section:
15 "Eligible applicant" means a student from any high school
16in this State, whether or not recognized by the State Board of
17Education, who is engaged in a program of study that in due

19therefore.
20 (a) For purposes of this Section, "reorganization" means
21any transaction which, regardless of the means by which it is
22accomplished, results in a change in the ownership of a
23majority of the voting capital stock of an Illinois public
24utility; or the ownership or control of any entity which owns
25or controls a majority of the voting capital stock of a public

HB3249 Enrolled- 1266 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1utility; or by which 2 public utilities merge, or by which a
2public utility acquires substantially all of the assets of
3another public utility; provided, however, that
4"reorganization" as used in this Section shall not include a
5mortgage or pledge transaction entered into to secure a bona
6fide borrowing by the party granting the mortgage or making the
7pledge.
8 In addition to the foregoing, "reorganization" shall
9include for purposes of this Section any transaction which,
10regardless of the means by which it is accomplished, will have
11the effect of terminating the affiliated interest status of any
12entity as defined in paragraph paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d)
13of subsection (2) of Section 7-101 of this Act where such
14entity had transactions with the public utility, in the 12
15calendar months immediately preceding the date of termination
16of such affiliated interest status subject to subsection (3) of
17Section 7-101 of this Act with a value greater than 15% of the
18public utility's revenues for that same 12-month period. If the
19proposed transaction would have the effect of terminating the
20affiliated interest status of more than one Illinois public
21utility, the utility with the greatest revenues for the
2212-month period shall be used to determine whether such
23proposed transaction is a reorganization for the purposes of
24this Section. The Commission shall have jurisdiction over any
25reorganization as defined herein.
26 (b) No reorganization shall take place without prior

HB3249 Enrolled- 1267 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Commission approval. The Commission shall not approve any
2proposed reorganization if the Commission finds, after notice
3and hearing, that the reorganization will adversely affect the
4utility's ability to perform its duties under this Act. The
5Commission shall not approve any proposed reorganization
6unless the Commission finds, after notice and hearing, that:
7 (1) the proposed reorganization will not diminish the
8 utility's ability to provide adequate, reliable,
9 efficient, safe and least-cost public utility service;
10 (2) the proposed reorganization will not result in the
11 unjustified subsidization of non-utility activities by the
12 utility or its customers;
13 (3) costs and facilities are fairly and reasonably
14 allocated between utility and non-utility activities in
15 such a manner that the Commission may identify those costs
16 and facilities which are properly included by the utility
17 for ratemaking purposes;
18 (4) the proposed reorganization will not significantly
19 impair the utility's ability to raise necessary capital on
20 reasonable terms or to maintain a reasonable capital
21 structure;
22 (5) the utility will remain subject to all applicable
23 laws, regulations, rules, decisions and policies governing
24 the regulation of Illinois public utilities;
25 (6) the proposed reorganization is not likely to have a
26 significant adverse effect on competition in those markets

HB3249 Enrolled- 1268 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 over which the Commission has jurisdiction;
2 (7) the proposed reorganization is not likely to result
3 in any adverse rate impacts on retail customers.
4 (c) The Commission shall not approve a reorganization
5without ruling on: (i) the allocation of any savings resulting
6from the proposed reorganization; and (ii) whether the
7companies should be allowed to recover any costs incurred in
8accomplishing the proposed reorganization and, if so, the
9amount of costs eligible for recovery and how the costs will be
10allocated.
11 (d) The Commission shall issue its Order approving or
12denying the proposed reorganization within 11 months after the
13application is filed. The Commission may extend the deadline
14for a period equivalent to the length of any delay which the
15Commission finds to have been caused by the Applicant's failure
16to provide data or information requested by the Commission or
17that the Commission ordered the Applicant to provide to the
18parties. The Commission may also extend the deadline by an
19additional period not to exceed 3 months to consider amendments
20to the Applicant's filing, or to consider reasonably
21unforeseeable changes in circumstances subsequent to the
22Applicant's initial filing.
23 (e) Subsections (c) and (d) and subparagraphs (6) and (7)
24of subsection (b) of this Section shall apply only to merger
25applications submitted to the Commission subsequent to April
2623, 1997. No other Commission approvals shall be required for

HB3249 Enrolled- 1269 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1mergers that are subject to this Section.
2 (f) In approving any proposed reorganization pursuant to
3this Section the Commission may impose such terms, conditions
4or requirements as, in its judgment, are necessary to protect
5the interests of the public utility and its customers.

8 Sec. 8-103B. Energy efficiency and demand-response
9measures.
10 (a) It is the policy of the State that electric utilities
11are required to use cost-effective energy efficiency and
12demand-response measures to reduce delivery load. Requiring
13investment in cost-effective energy efficiency and
14demand-response measures will reduce direct and indirect costs
15to consumers by decreasing environmental impacts and by
16avoiding or delaying the need for new generation, transmission,
17and distribution infrastructure. It serves the public interest
18to allow electric utilities to recover costs for reasonably and
19prudently incurred expenditures for energy efficiency and
20demand-response measures. As used in this Section,
21"cost-effective" means that the measures satisfy the total
22resource cost test. The low-income measures described in
23subsection (c) of this Section shall not be required to meet
24the total resource cost test. For purposes of this Section, the
25terms "energy-efficiency", "demand-response", "electric

HB3249 Enrolled- 1270 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1utility", and "total resource cost test" have the meanings set
2forth in the Illinois Power Agency Act.
3 (a-5) This Section applies to electric utilities serving
4more than 500,000 retail customers in the State for those
5multi-year plans commencing after December 31, 2017.
6 (b) For purposes of this Section, electric utilities
7subject to this Section that serve more than 3,000,000 retail
8customers in the State shall be deemed to have achieved a
9cumulative persisting annual savings of 6.6% from energy
10efficiency measures and programs implemented during the period
11beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2017, which
12percent is based on the deemed average weather normalized sales
13of electric power and energy during calendar years 2014, 2015,
14and 2016 of 88,000,000 MWhs. For the purposes of this
15subsection (b) and subsection (b-5), the 88,000,000 MWhs of
16deemed electric power and energy sales shall be reduced by the
17number of MWhs equal to the sum of the annual consumption of
18customers that are exempt from subsections (a) through (j) of
19this Section under subsection (l) of this Section, as averaged
20across the calendar years 2014, 2015, and 2016. After 2017, the
21deemed value of cumulative persisting annual savings from
22energy efficiency measures and programs implemented during the
23period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2017,
24shall be reduced each year, as follows, and the applicable
25value shall be applied to and count toward the utility's
26achievement of the cumulative persisting annual savings goals

HB3249 Enrolled- 1271 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1set forth in subsection (b-5):
2 (1) 5.8% deemed cumulative persisting annual savings

4 (2) 5.2% deemed cumulative persisting annual savings
5 for the year ending December 31, 2019;
6 (3) 4.5% deemed cumulative persisting annual savings
7 for the year ending December 31, 2020;
8 (4) 4.0% deemed cumulative persisting annual savings
9 for the year ending December 31, 2021;
10 (5) 3.5% deemed cumulative persisting annual savings

1 (b-25) In the event an electric utility jointly offers an
2energy efficiency measure or program with a gas utility under
3plans approved under this Section and Section 8-104 of this
4Act, the electric utility may continue offering the program,
5including the gas energy efficiency measures, in the event the
6gas utility discontinues funding the program. In that event,
7the energy savings value associated with such other fuels shall
8be converted to electric energy savings on an equivalent Btu
9basis for the premises. However, the electric utility shall
10prioritize programs for low-income residential customers to
11the extent practicable. An electric utility may recover the
12costs of offering the gas energy efficiency measures under this
13subsection (b-25).
14 For those energy efficiency measures or programs that save
15both electricity and other fuels but are not jointly offered
16with a gas utility under plans approved under this Section and
17Section 8-104 or not offered with an affiliated gas utility
18under paragraph (6) of subsection (f) of Section 8-104 of this
19Act, the electric utility may count savings of fuels other than
20electricity toward the achievement of its annual savings goal,
21and the energy savings value associated with such other fuels
22shall be converted to electric energy savings on an equivalent
23Btu basis at the premises.
24 In no event shall more than 10% of each year's applicable
25annual incremental goal as defined in paragraph (7) of

HB3249 Enrolled- 1280 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1other than electricity.
2 (c) Electric utilities shall be responsible for overseeing
3the design, development, and filing of energy efficiency plans
4with the Commission and may, as part of that implementation,
5outsource various aspects of program development and
6implementation. A minimum of 10%, for electric utilities that
7serve more than 3,000,000 retail customers in the State, and a
8minimum of 7%, for electric utilities that serve less than
93,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
10customers in the State, of the utility's entire portfolio
11funding level for a given year shall be used to procure
12cost-effective energy efficiency measures from units of local
13government, municipal corporations, school districts, public
14housing, and community college districts, provided that a
15minimum percentage of available funds shall be used to procure
16energy efficiency from public housing, which percentage shall
17be equal to public housing's share of public building energy
18consumption.
19 The utilities shall also implement energy efficiency
20measures targeted at low-income households, which, for
21purposes of this Section, shall be defined as households at or
22below 80% of area median income, and expenditures to implement
23the measures shall be no less than $25,000,000 per year for
24electric utilities that serve more than 3,000,000 retail
25customers in the State and no less than $8,350,000 per year for
26electric utilities that serve less than 3,000,000 retail

HB3249 Enrolled- 1281 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1customers but more than 500,000 retail customers in the State.
2 Each electric utility shall assess opportunities to
3implement cost-effective energy efficiency measures and
4programs through a public housing authority or authorities
5located in its service territory. If such opportunities are
6identified, the utility shall propose such measures and
7programs to address the opportunities. Expenditures to address
8such opportunities shall be credited toward the minimum
9procurement and expenditure requirements set forth in this
10subsection (c).
11 Implementation of energy efficiency measures and programs
12targeted at low-income households should be contracted, when it
13is practicable, to independent third parties that have
14demonstrated capabilities to serve such households, with a
15preference for not-for-profit entities and government agencies
16that have existing relationships with or experience serving
17low-income communities in the State.
18 Each electric utility shall develop and implement
19reporting procedures that address and assist in determining the
20amount of energy savings that can be applied to the low-income
21procurement and expenditure requirements set forth in this
22subsection (c).
23 The electric utilities shall also convene a low-income
24energy efficiency advisory committee to assist in the design
25and evaluation of the low-income energy efficiency programs.
26The committee shall be comprised of the electric utilities

HB3249 Enrolled- 1282 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1subject to the requirements of this Section, the gas utilities
2subject to the requirements of Section 8-104 of this Act, the
3utilities' low-income energy efficiency implementation
4contractors, and representatives of community-based
5organizations.
6 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
7contrary, a utility providing approved energy efficiency
8measures and, if applicable, demand-response measures in the
9State shall be permitted to recover all reasonable and
10prudently incurred costs of those measures from all retail
11customers, except as provided in subsection (l) of this
12Section, as follows, provided that nothing in this subsection
13(d) permits the double recovery of such costs from customers:
14 (1) The utility may recover its costs through an
15 automatic adjustment clause tariff filed with and approved
16 by the Commission. The tariff shall be established outside
17 the context of a general rate case. Each year the
18 Commission shall initiate a review to reconcile any amounts
19 collected with the actual costs and to determine the
20 required adjustment to the annual tariff factor to match
21 annual expenditures. To enable the financing of the
22 incremental capital expenditures, including regulatory
23 assets, for electric utilities that serve less than
24 3,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
25 customers in the State, the utility's actual year-end
26 capital structure that includes a common equity ratio,

HB3249 Enrolled- 1283 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 excluding goodwill, of up to and including 50% of the total
2 capital structure shall be deemed reasonable and used to
3 set rates.
4 (2) A utility may recover its costs through an energy
5 efficiency formula rate approved by the Commission under a
6 filing under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, which
7 shall specify the cost components that form the basis of
8 the rate charged to customers with sufficient specificity
9 to operate in a standardized manner and be updated annually
10 with transparent information that reflects the utility's
11 actual costs to be recovered during the applicable rate
12 year, which is the period beginning with the first billing
13 day of January and extending through the last billing day
14 of the following December. The energy efficiency formula
15 rate shall be implemented through a tariff filed with the
16 Commission under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section
17 that is consistent with the provisions of this paragraph
18 (2) and that shall be applicable to all delivery services
19 customers. The Commission shall conduct an investigation
20 of the tariff in a manner consistent with the provisions of
21 this paragraph (2), subsections (f) and (g) of this
22 Section, and the provisions of Article IX of this Act to
23 the extent they do not conflict with this paragraph (2).
24 The energy efficiency formula rate approved by the
25 Commission shall remain in effect at the discretion of the
26 utility and shall do the following:

HB3249 Enrolled- 1284 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (A) Provide for the recovery of the utility's
2 actual costs incurred under this Section that are
3 prudently incurred and reasonable in amount consistent
4 with Commission practice and law. The sole fact that a
5 cost differs from that incurred in a prior calendar
6 year or that an investment is different from that made
7 in a prior calendar year shall not imply the imprudence
8 or unreasonableness of that cost or investment.
9 (B) Reflect the utility's actual year-end capital
10 structure for the applicable calendar year, excluding
11 goodwill, subject to a determination of prudence and
12 reasonableness consistent with Commission practice and
13 law. To enable the financing of the incremental capital
14 expenditures, including regulatory assets, for
15 electric utilities that serve less than 3,000,000
16 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
17 customers in the State, a participating electric
18 utility's actual year-end capital structure that
19 includes a common equity ratio, excluding goodwill, of
20 up to and including 50% of the total capital structure
21 shall be deemed reasonable and used to set rates.
22 (C) Include a cost of equity, which shall be
23 calculated as the sum of the following:
24 (i) the average for the applicable calendar
25 year of the monthly average yields of 30-year U.S.
26 Treasury bonds published by the Board of Governors

HB3249 Enrolled- 1285 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 of the Federal Reserve System in its weekly H.15
2 Statistical Release or successor publication; and
3 (ii) 580 basis points.
4 At such time as the Board of Governors of the
5 Federal Reserve System ceases to include the monthly
6 average yields of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds in its
7 weekly H.15 Statistical Release or successor
8 publication, the monthly average yields of the U.S.
9 Treasury bonds then having the longest duration
10 published by the Board of Governors in its weekly H.15
11 Statistical Release or successor publication shall
12 instead be used for purposes of this paragraph (2).
13 (D) Permit and set forth protocols, subject to a
14 determination of prudence and reasonableness
15 consistent with Commission practice and law, for the
16 following:
17 (i) recovery of incentive compensation expense
18 that is based on the achievement of operational
19 metrics, including metrics related to budget
20 controls, outage duration and frequency, safety,
21 customer service, efficiency and productivity, and
22 environmental compliance; however, this protocol
23 shall not apply if such expense related to costs
24 incurred under this Section is recovered under
25 Article IX or Section 16-108.5 of this Act;
26 incentive compensation expense that is based on

HB3249 Enrolled- 1286 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 net income or an affiliate's earnings per share
2 shall not be recoverable under the energy
3 efficiency formula rate;
4 (ii) recovery of pension and other
5 post-employment benefits expense, provided that
6 such costs are supported by an actuarial study;
7 however, this protocol shall not apply if such
8 expense related to costs incurred under this
9 Section is recovered under Article IX or Section
10 16-108.5 of this Act;
11 (iii) recovery of existing regulatory assets
12 over the periods previously authorized by the
13 Commission;
14 (iv) as described in subsection (e),
15 amortization of costs incurred under this Section;
16 and
17 (v) projected, weather normalized billing
18 determinants for the applicable rate year.
19 (E) Provide for an annual reconciliation, as
20 described in paragraph (3) of this subsection (d), less
21 any deferred taxes related to the reconciliation, with
22 interest at an annual rate of return equal to the
23 utility's weighted average cost of capital, including
24 a revenue conversion factor calculated to recover or
25 refund all additional income taxes that may be payable
26 or receivable as a result of that return, of the energy

1 efficiency revenue requirement reflected in rates for
2 each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year in
3 which the utility files its energy efficiency formula
4 rate tariff under this paragraph (2), with what the
5 revenue requirement would have been had the actual cost
6 information for the applicable calendar year been
7 available at the filing date.
8 The utility shall file, together with its tariff, the
9 projected costs to be incurred by the utility during the
10 rate year under the utility's multi-year plan approved
11 under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, including,
12 but not limited to, the projected capital investment costs
13 and projected regulatory asset balances with
14 correspondingly updated depreciation and amortization
15 reserves and expense, that shall populate the energy
16 efficiency formula rate and set the initial rates under the
17 formula.
18 The Commission shall review the proposed tariff in
19 conjunction with its review of a proposed multi-year plan,
20 as specified in paragraph (5) of subsection (g) of this
21 Section. The review shall be based on the same evidentiary
22 standards, including, but not limited to, those concerning
23 the prudence and reasonableness of the costs incurred by
24 the utility, the Commission applies in a hearing to review
25 a filing for a general increase in rates under Article IX
26 of this Act. The initial rates shall take effect beginning

HB3249 Enrolled- 1288 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 with the January monthly billing period following the
2 Commission's approval.
3 The tariff's rate design and cost allocation across
4 customer classes shall be consistent with the utility's
5 automatic adjustment clause tariff in effect on June 1,
6 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 99-906) this
7 amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly; however, the
8 Commission may revise the tariff's rate design and cost
9 allocation in subsequent proceedings under paragraph (3)
10 of this subsection (d).
11 If the energy efficiency formula rate is terminated,
12 the then current rates shall remain in effect until such
13 time as the energy efficiency costs are incorporated into
14 new rates that are set under this subsection (d) or Article
15 IX of this Act, subject to retroactive rate adjustment,
16 with interest, to reconcile rates charged with actual
17 costs.
18 (3) The provisions of this paragraph (3) shall only
19 apply to an electric utility that has elected to file an
20 energy efficiency formula rate under paragraph (2) of this
21 subsection (d). Subsequent to the Commission's issuance of
22 an order approving the utility's energy efficiency formula
23 rate structure and protocols, and initial rates under
24 paragraph (2) of this subsection (d), the utility shall
25 file, on or before June 1 of each year, with the Chief
26 Clerk of the Commission its updated cost inputs to the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1289 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 energy efficiency formula rate for the applicable rate year
2 and the corresponding new charges, as well as the
3 information described in paragraph (9) of subsection (g) of
4 this Section. Each such filing shall conform to the
5 following requirements and include the following
6 information:
7 (A) The inputs to the energy efficiency formula
8 rate for the applicable rate year shall be based on the
9 projected costs to be incurred by the utility during
10 the rate year under the utility's multi-year plan
11 approved under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section,
12 including, but not limited to, projected capital
13 investment costs and projected regulatory asset
14 balances with correspondingly updated depreciation and
15 amortization reserves and expense. The filing shall
16 also include a reconciliation of the energy efficiency
17 revenue requirement that was in effect for the prior
18 rate year (as set by the cost inputs for the prior rate
19 year) with the actual revenue requirement for the prior
20 rate year (determined using a year-end rate base) that
21 uses amounts reflected in the applicable FERC Form 1
22 that reports the actual costs for the prior rate year.
23 Any over-collection or under-collection indicated by
24 such reconciliation shall be reflected as a credit
25 against, or recovered as an additional charge to,
26 respectively, with interest calculated at a rate equal

HB3249 Enrolled- 1290 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 to the utility's weighted average cost of capital
2 approved by the Commission for the prior rate year, the
3 charges for the applicable rate year. Such
4 over-collection or under-collection shall be adjusted
5 to remove any deferred taxes related to the
6 reconciliation, for purposes of calculating interest
7 at an annual rate of return equal to the utility's
8 weighted average cost of capital approved by the
9 Commission for the prior rate year, including a revenue
10 conversion factor calculated to recover or refund all
11 additional income taxes that may be payable or
12 receivable as a result of that return. Each
13 reconciliation shall be certified by the participating
14 utility in the same manner that FERC Form 1 is
15 certified. The filing shall also include the charge or
16 credit, if any, resulting from the calculation
17 required by subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this
18 subsection (d).
19 Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
20 contrary, the intent of the reconciliation is to
21 ultimately reconcile both the revenue requirement
22 reflected in rates for each calendar year, beginning
23 with the calendar year in which the utility files its
24 energy efficiency formula rate tariff under paragraph
25 (2) of this subsection (d), with what the revenue
26 requirement determined using a year-end rate base for

HB3249 Enrolled- 1291 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the applicable calendar year would have been had the
2 actual cost information for the applicable calendar
3 year been available at the filing date.
4 For purposes of this Section, "FERC Form 1" means
5 the Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities,
6 Licensees and Others that electric utilities are
7 required to file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
8 Commission under the Federal Power Act, Sections 3,
9 4(a), 304 and 209, modified as necessary to be
10 consistent with 83 Ill. Admin. Code Part 415 as of May
11 1, 2011. Nothing in this Section is intended to allow
12 costs that are not otherwise recoverable to be
13 recoverable by virtue of inclusion in FERC Form 1.
14 (B) The new charges shall take effect beginning on
15 the first billing day of the following January billing
16 period and remain in effect through the last billing
17 day of the next December billing period regardless of
18 whether the Commission enters upon a hearing under this
19 paragraph (3).
20 (C) The filing shall include relevant and
21 necessary data and documentation for the applicable
22 rate year. Normalization adjustments shall not be
23 required.
24 Within 45 days after the utility files its annual
25 update of cost inputs to the energy efficiency formula
26 rate, the Commission shall with reasonable notice,

HB3249 Enrolled- 1292 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 initiate a proceeding concerning whether the projected
2 costs to be incurred by the utility and recovered during
3 the applicable rate year, and that are reflected in the
4 inputs to the energy efficiency formula rate, are
5 consistent with the utility's approved multi-year plan
6 under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section and whether
7 the costs incurred by the utility during the prior rate
8 year were prudent and reasonable. The Commission shall also
9 have the authority to investigate the information and data
10 described in paragraph (9) of subsection (g) of this
11 Section, including the proposed adjustment to the
12 utility's return on equity component of its weighted
13 average cost of capital. During the course of the
14 proceeding, each objection shall be stated with
15 particularity and evidence provided in support thereof,
16 after which the utility shall have the opportunity to rebut
17 the evidence. Discovery shall be allowed consistent with
18 the Commission's Rules of Practice, which Rules of Practice
19 shall be enforced by the Commission or the assigned
20 administrative law judge. The Commission shall apply the
21 same evidentiary standards, including, but not limited to,
22 those concerning the prudence and reasonableness of the
23 costs incurred by the utility, during the proceeding as it
24 would apply in a proceeding to review a filing for a
25 general increase in rates under Article IX of this Act. The
26 Commission shall not, however, have the authority in a

HB3249 Enrolled- 1293 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 proceeding under this paragraph (3) to consider or order
2 any changes to the structure or protocols of the energy
3 efficiency formula rate approved under paragraph (2) of
4 this subsection (d). In a proceeding under this paragraph
5 (3), the Commission shall enter its order no later than the
6 earlier of 195 days after the utility's filing of its
7 annual update of cost inputs to the energy efficiency
8 formula rate or December 15. The utility's proposed return
9 on equity calculation, as described in paragraphs (7)
10 through (9) of subsection (g) of this Section, shall be
11 deemed the final, approved calculation on December 15 of
12 the year in which it is filed unless the Commission enters
13 an order on or before December 15, after notice and
14 hearing, that modifies such calculation consistent with
15 this Section. The Commission's determinations of the
16 prudence and reasonableness of the costs incurred, and
17 determination of such return on equity calculation, for the
18 applicable calendar year shall be final upon entry of the
19 Commission's order and shall not be subject to reopening,
20 reexamination, or collateral attack in any other
21 Commission proceeding, case, docket, order, rule, or
22 regulation; however, nothing in this paragraph (3) shall
23 prohibit a party from petitioning the Commission to rehear
24 or appeal to the courts the order under the provisions of
25 this Act.
26 (e) Beginning on June 1, 2017 (the effective date of Public

HB3249 Enrolled- 1294 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Act 99-906) this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, a
2utility subject to the requirements of this Section may elect
3to defer, as a regulatory asset, up to the full amount of its
4expenditures incurred under this Section for each annual
5period, including, but not limited to, any expenditures
6incurred above the funding level set by subsection (f) of this
7Section for a given year. The total expenditures deferred as a
8regulatory asset in a given year shall be amortized and
9recovered over a period that is equal to the weighted average
10of the energy efficiency measure lives implemented for that
11year that are reflected in the regulatory asset. The
12unamortized balance shall be recognized as of December 31 for a
13given year. The utility shall also earn a return on the total
14of the unamortized balances of all of the energy efficiency
15regulatory assets, less any deferred taxes related to those
16unamortized balances, at an annual rate equal to the utility's
17weighted average cost of capital that includes, based on a
18year-end capital structure, the utility's actual cost of debt
19for the applicable calendar year and a cost of equity, which
20shall be calculated as the sum of the (i) the average for the
21applicable calendar year of the monthly average yields of
2230-year U.S. Treasury bonds published by the Board of Governors
23of the Federal Reserve System in its weekly H.15 Statistical
24Release or successor publication; and (ii) 580 basis points,
25including a revenue conversion factor calculated to recover or
26refund all additional income taxes that may be payable or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1295 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1receivable as a result of that return. Capital investment costs
2shall be depreciated and recovered over their useful lives
3consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. The
4weighted average cost of capital shall be applied to the
5capital investment cost balance, less any accumulated
6depreciation and accumulated deferred income taxes, as of
7December 31 for a given year.
8 When an electric utility creates a regulatory asset under
9the provisions of this Section, the costs are recovered over a
10period during which customers also receive a benefit which is
11in the public interest. Accordingly, it is the intent of the
12General Assembly that an electric utility that elects to create
13a regulatory asset under the provisions of this Section shall
14recover all of the associated costs as set forth in this
15Section. After the Commission has approved the prudence and
16reasonableness of the costs that comprise the regulatory asset,
17the electric utility shall be permitted to recover all such
18costs, and the value and recoverability through rates of the
19associated regulatory asset shall not be limited, altered,
20impaired, or reduced.
21 (f) Beginning in 2017, each electric utility shall file an
22energy efficiency plan with the Commission to meet the energy
23efficiency standards for the next applicable multi-year period
24beginning January 1 of the year following the filing, according
25to the schedule set forth in paragraphs (1) through (3) of this
26subsection (f). If a utility does not file such a plan on or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1296 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1before the applicable filing deadline for the plan, it shall
2face a penalty of $100,000 per day until the plan is filed.

5 the 99th General Assembly or May 1, 2017, whichever is
6 later, each electric utility shall file a 4-year energy
7 efficiency plan commencing on January 1, 2018 that is
8 designed to achieve the cumulative persisting annual
9 savings goals specified in paragraphs (1) through (4) of
10 subsection (b-5) of this Section or in paragraphs (1)
11 through (4) of subsection (b-15) of this Section, as
12 applicable, through implementation of energy efficiency
13 measures; however, the goals may be reduced if the
14 utility's expenditures are limited pursuant to subsection
15 (m) of this Section or, for a utility that serves less than
16 3,000,000 retail customers, if each of the following
17 conditions are met: (A) the plan's analysis and forecasts
18 of the utility's ability to acquire energy savings
19 demonstrate that achievement of such goals is not cost
20 effective; and (B) the amount of energy savings achieved by
21 the utility as determined by the independent evaluator for
22 the most recent year for which savings have been evaluated
23 preceding the plan filing was less than the average annual

26 amount of savings required to achieve the goals for the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1298 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 applicable 4-year plan period. Except as provided in
2 subsection (m) of this Section, annual increases in
3 cumulative persisting annual savings goals during the
4 applicable 4-year plan period shall not be reduced to
5 amounts that are less than the maximum amount of cumulative
6 persisting annual savings that is forecast to be
7 cost-effectively achievable during the 4-year plan period.
8 The Commission shall review any proposed goal reduction as
9 part of its review and approval of the utility's proposed
10 plan.
11 (3) No later than March 1, 2025, each electric utility
12 shall file a 5-year energy efficiency plan commencing on

1 preceding the plan filing was less than the average annual
2 amount of savings required to achieve the goals for the
3 applicable 5-year plan period. Except as provided in
4 subsection (m) of this Section, annual increases in
5 cumulative persisting annual savings goals during the
6 applicable 5-year plan period shall not be reduced to
7 amounts that are less than the maximum amount of cumulative
8 persisting annual savings that is forecast to be
9 cost-effectively achievable during the 5-year plan period.
10 The Commission shall review any proposed goal reduction as
11 part of its review and approval of the utility's proposed
12 plan.
13 Each utility's plan shall set forth the utility's proposals
14to meet the energy efficiency standards identified in

16 portfolio of measures, as well as a full review of the
17 multi-year plan results of the broader net program impacts
18 and, to the extent practical, for adjustment of the
19 measures on a going-forward basis as a result of the
20 evaluations. The resources dedicated to evaluation shall
21 not exceed 3% of portfolio resources in any given year.
22 (7) For electric utilities that serve more than
23 3,000,000 retail customers in the State:
24 (A) Through December 31, 2025, provide for an
25 adjustment to the return on equity component of the
26 utility's weighted average cost of capital calculated

HB3249 Enrolled- 1304 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 under subsection (d) of this Section:
2 (i) If the independent evaluator determines
3 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
4 annual savings that is less than the applicable
5 annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
6 component shall be reduced by a maximum of 200
7 basis points in the event that the utility achieved
8 no more than 75% of such goal. If the utility
9 achieved more than 75% of the applicable annual
10 incremental goal but less than 100% of such goal,
11 then the return on equity component shall be
12 reduced by 8 basis points for each percent by which
13 the utility failed to achieve the goal.
14 (ii) If the independent evaluator determines
15 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
16 annual savings that is more than the applicable
17 annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
18 component shall be increased by a maximum of 200
19 basis points in the event that the utility achieved
20 at least 125% of such goal. If the utility achieved
21 more than 100% of the applicable annual
22 incremental goal but less than 125% of such goal,
23 then the return on equity component shall be
24 increased by 8 basis points for each percent by
25 which the utility achieved above the goal. If the
26 applicable annual incremental goal was reduced

HB3249 Enrolled- 1305 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 under paragraphs (1) or (2) of subsection (f) of
2 this Section, then the following adjustments shall
3 be made to the calculations described in this item
4 (ii):
5 (aa) the calculation for determining
6 achievement that is at least 125% of the
7 applicable annual incremental goal shall use
8 the unreduced applicable annual incremental
9 goal to set the value; and
10 (bb) the calculation for determining
11 achievement that is less than 125% but more
12 than 100% of the applicable annual incremental
13 goal shall use the reduced applicable annual
14 incremental goal to set the value for 100%
15 achievement of the goal and shall use the
16 unreduced goal to set the value for 125%
17 achievement. The 8 basis point value shall also
18 be modified, as necessary, so that the 200
19 basis points are evenly apportioned among each
20 percentage point value between 100% and 125%
21 achievement.
22 (B) For the period January 1, 2026 through December
23 31, 2030, provide for an adjustment to the return on
24 equity component of the utility's weighted average
25 cost of capital calculated under subsection (d) of this
26 Section:

HB3249 Enrolled- 1306 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (i) If the independent evaluator determines
2 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
3 annual savings that is less than the applicable
4 annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
5 component shall be reduced by a maximum of 200
6 basis points in the event that the utility achieved
7 no more than 66% of such goal. If the utility
8 achieved more than 66% of the applicable annual
9 incremental goal but less than 100% of such goal,
10 then the return on equity component shall be
11 reduced by 6 basis points for each percent by which
12 the utility failed to achieve the goal.
13 (ii) If the independent evaluator determines
14 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
15 annual savings that is more than the applicable
16 annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
17 component shall be increased by a maximum of 200
18 basis points in the event that the utility achieved
19 at least 134% of such goal. If the utility achieved
20 more than 100% of the applicable annual
21 incremental goal but less than 134% of such goal,
22 then the return on equity component shall be
23 increased by 6 basis points for each percent by
24 which the utility achieved above the goal. If the
25 applicable annual incremental goal was reduced
26 under paragraph (3) of subsection (f) of this

HB3249 Enrolled- 1307 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Section, then the following adjustments shall be
2 made to the calculations described in this item
3 (ii):
4 (aa) the calculation for determining
5 achievement that is at least 134% of the
6 applicable annual incremental goal shall use
7 the unreduced applicable annual incremental
8 goal to set the value; and
9 (bb) the calculation for determining
10 achievement that is less than 134% but more
11 than 100% of the applicable annual incremental
12 goal shall use the reduced applicable annual
13 incremental goal to set the value for 100%
14 achievement of the goal and shall use the
15 unreduced goal to set the value for 134%
16 achievement. The 6 basis point value shall also
17 be modified, as necessary, so that the 200
18 basis points are evenly apportioned among each
19 percentage point value between 100% and 134%
20 achievement.
21 (7.5) For purposes of this Section, the term
22 "applicable annual incremental goal" means the difference
23 between the cumulative persisting annual savings goal for
24 the calendar year that is the subject of the independent
25 evaluator's determination and the cumulative persisting
26 annual savings goal for the immediately preceding calendar

HB3249 Enrolled- 1308 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 year, as such goals are defined in subsections (b-5) and
2 (b-15) of this Section and as these goals may have been
3 modified as provided for under subsection (b-20) and
4 paragraphs (1) through (3) of subsection (f) of this
5 Section. Under subsections (b), (b-5), (b-10), and (b-15)
6 of this Section, a utility must first replace energy
7 savings from measures that have reached the end of their
8 measure lives and would otherwise have to be replaced to
9 meet the applicable savings goals identified in subsection
10 (b-5) or (b-15) of this Section before any progress towards
11 achievement of its applicable annual incremental goal may
12 be counted. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this
13 Section, the difference between the actual annual
14 incremental savings achieved in any given year, including
15 the replacement of energy savings from measures that have
16 expired, and the applicable annual incremental goal shall
17 not affect adjustments to the return on equity for
18 subsequent calendar years under this subsection (g).
19 (8) For electric utilities that serve less than
20 3,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
21 customers in the State:
22 (A) Through December 31, 2025, the applicable
23 annual incremental goal shall be compared to the annual
24 incremental savings as determined by the independent
25 evaluator.
26 (i) The return on equity component shall be

HB3249 Enrolled- 1309 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 reduced by 8 basis points for each percent by which
2 the utility did not achieve 84.4% of the applicable
3 annual incremental goal.
4 (ii) The return on equity component shall be
5 increased by 8 basis points for each percent by
6 which the utility exceeded 100% of the applicable
7 annual incremental goal.
8 (iii) The return on equity component shall not
9 be increased or decreased if the annual
10 incremental savings as determined by the
11 independent evaluator is greater than 84.4% of the
12 applicable annual incremental goal and less than
13 100% of the applicable annual incremental goal.
14 (iv) The return on equity component shall not
15 be increased or decreased by an amount greater than
16 200 basis points pursuant to this subparagraph
17 (A).
18 (B) For the period of January 1, 2026 through
19 December 31, 2030, the applicable annual incremental
20 goal shall be compared to the annual incremental
21 savings as determined by the independent evaluator.
22 (i) The return on equity component shall be
23 reduced by 6 basis points for each percent by which
24 the utility did not achieve 100% of the applicable
25 annual incremental goal.
26 (ii) The return on equity component shall be

HB3249 Enrolled- 1310 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 increased by 6 basis points for each percent by
2 which the utility exceeded 100% of the applicable
3 annual incremental goal.
4 (iii) The return on equity component shall not
5 be increased or decreased by an amount greater than
6 200 basis points pursuant to this subparagraph
7 (B).
8 (C) If the applicable annual incremental goal was
9 reduced under paragraphs (1), (2) or (3) of subsection
10 (f) of this Section, then the following adjustments
11 shall be made to the calculations described in
12 subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph (8):
13 (i) The calculation for determining
14 achievement that is at least 125% or 134%, as
15 applicable, of the applicable annual incremental
16 goal shall use the unreduced applicable annual
17 incremental goal to set the value.
18 (ii) For the period through December 31, 2025,
19 the calculation for determining achievement that
20 is less than 125% but more than 100% of the
21 applicable annual incremental goal shall use the
22 reduced applicable annual incremental goal to set
23 the value for 100% achievement of the goal and
24 shall use the unreduced goal to set the value for
25 125% achievement. The 8 basis point value shall
26 also be modified, as necessary, so that the 200

HB3249 Enrolled- 1311 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 basis points are evenly apportioned among each
2 percentage point value between 100% and 125%
3 achievement.
4 (iii) For the period of January 1, 2026 through
5 December 31, 2030, the calculation for determining
6 achievement that is less than 134% but more than
7 100% of the applicable annual incremental goal
8 shall use the reduced applicable annual
9 incremental goal to set the value for 100%
10 achievement of the goal and shall use the unreduced
11 goal to set the value for 125% achievement. The 6
12 basis point value shall also be modified, as
13 necessary, so that the 200 basis points are evenly
14 apportioned among each percentage point value
15 between 100% and 134% achievement.
16 (9) The utility shall submit the energy savings data to
17 the independent evaluator no later than 30 days after the
18 close of the plan year. The independent evaluator shall
19 determine the cumulative persisting annual savings for a
20 given plan year no later than 120 days after the close of
21 the plan year. The utility shall submit an informational
22 filing to the Commission no later than 160 days after the
23 close of the plan year that attaches the independent
24 evaluator's final report identifying the cumulative
25 persisting annual savings for the year and calculates,
26 under paragraph (7) or (8) of this subsection (g), as

HB3249 Enrolled- 1312 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 applicable, any resulting change to the utility's return on
2 equity component of the weighted average cost of capital
3 applicable to the next plan year beginning with the January
4 monthly billing period and extending through the December
5 monthly billing period. However, if the utility recovers
6 the costs incurred under this Section under paragraphs (2)
7 and (3) of subsection (d) of this Section, then the utility
8 shall not be required to submit such informational filing,
9 and shall instead submit the information that would
10 otherwise be included in the informational filing as part
11 of its filing under paragraph (3) of such subsection (d)
12 that is due on or before June 1 of each year.
13 For those utilities that must submit the informational
14 filing, the Commission may, on its own motion or by
15 petition, initiate an investigation of such filing,
16 provided, however, that the utility's proposed return on
17 equity calculation shall be deemed the final, approved
18 calculation on December 15 of the year in which it is filed
19 unless the Commission enters an order on or before December
20 15, after notice and hearing, that modifies such
21 calculation consistent with this Section.
22 The adjustments to the return on equity component
23 described in paragraphs (7) and (8) of this subsection (g)
24 shall be applied as described in such paragraphs through a
25 separate tariff mechanism, which shall be filed by the
26 utility under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1313 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (h) No more than 6% of energy efficiency and
2demand-response program revenue may be allocated for research,
3development, or pilot deployment of new equipment or measures.
4 (i) When practicable, electric utilities shall incorporate
5advanced metering infrastructure data into the planning,
6implementation, and evaluation of energy efficiency measures
7and programs, subject to the data privacy and confidentiality
8protections of applicable law.
9 (j) The independent evaluator shall follow the guidelines
10and use the savings set forth in Commission-approved energy
11efficiency policy manuals and technical reference manuals, as
12each may be updated from time to time. Until such time as
13measure life values for energy efficiency measures implemented
14for low-income households under subsection (c) of this Section
15are incorporated into such Commission-approved manuals, the
16low-income measures shall have the same measure life values
17that are established for same measures implemented in
18households that are not low-income households.
19 (k) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary,
20an electric utility subject to the requirements of this Section
21may file a tariff cancelling an automatic adjustment clause
22tariff in effect under this Section or Section 8-103, which
23shall take effect no later than one business day after the date
24such tariff is filed. Thereafter, the utility shall be
25authorized to defer and recover its expenditures incurred under
26this Section through a new tariff authorized under subsection

HB3249 Enrolled- 1314 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1(d) of this Section or in the utility's next rate case under
2Article IX or Section 16-108.5 of this Act, with interest at an
3annual rate equal to the utility's weighted average cost of
4capital as approved by the Commission in such case. If the
5utility elects to file a new tariff under subsection (d) of
6this Section, the utility may file the tariff within 10 days
7after June 1, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 99-906)
8this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, and the cost
9inputs to such tariff shall be based on the projected costs to
10be incurred by the utility during the calendar year in which
11the new tariff is filed and that were not recovered under the
12tariff that was cancelled as provided for in this subsection.
13Such costs shall include those incurred or to be incurred by
14the utility under its multi-year plan approved under
15subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, including, but not
16limited to, projected capital investment costs and projected
17regulatory asset balances with correspondingly updated
18depreciation and amortization reserves and expense. The
19Commission shall, after notice and hearing, approve, or approve
20with modification, such tariff and cost inputs no later than 75
21days after the utility filed the tariff, provided that such
22approval, or approval with modification, shall be consistent
23with the provisions of this Section to the extent they do not
24conflict with this subsection (k). The tariff approved by the
25Commission shall take effect no later than 5 days after the
26Commission enters its order approving the tariff.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1315 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 No later than 60 days after the effective date of the
2tariff cancelling the utility's automatic adjustment clause
3tariff, the utility shall file a reconciliation that reconciles
4the moneys collected under its automatic adjustment clause
5tariff with the costs incurred during the period beginning June
61, 2016 and ending on the date that the electric utility's
7automatic adjustment clause tariff was cancelled. In the event
8the reconciliation reflects an under-collection, the utility
9shall recover the costs as specified in this subsection (k). If
10the reconciliation reflects an over-collection, the utility
11shall apply the amount of such over-collection as a one-time
12credit to retail customers' bills.
13 (l) For the calendar years covered by a multi-year plan
14commencing after December 31, 2017, subsections (a) through (j)
15of this Section do not apply to any retail customers of an
16electric utility that serves more than 3,000,000 retail
17customers in the State and whose total highest 30 minute demand
18was more than 10,000 kilowatts, or any retail customers of an
19electric utility that serves less than 3,000,000 retail
20customers but more than 500,000 retail customers in the State
21and whose total highest 15 minute demand was more than 10,000
22kilowatts. For purposes of this subsection (l), "retail
23customer" has the meaning set forth in Section 16-102 of this
24Act. A determination of whether this subsection is applicable
25to a customer shall be made for each multi-year plan beginning
26after December 31, 2017. The criteria for determining whether

HB3249 Enrolled- 1316 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1this subsection (l) is applicable to a retail customer shall be
2based on the 12 consecutive billing periods prior to the start
3of the first year of each such multi-year plan.
4 (m) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, as
5part of a proceeding to approve a multi-year plan under
6subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, the Commission shall
7reduce the amount of energy efficiency measures implemented for
8any single year, and whose costs are recovered under subsection
9(d) of this Section, by an amount necessary to limit the
10estimated average net increase due to the cost of the measures
11to no more than
12 (1) 3.5% for the each of the 4 years beginning January
13 1, 2018,
14 (2) 3.75% for each of the 4 years beginning January 1,
15 2022, and
16 (3) 4% for each of the 5 years beginning January 1,
17 2026,
18of the average amount paid per kilowatthour by residential
19eligible retail customers during calendar year 2015. To
20determine the total amount that may be spent by an electric
21utility in any single year, the applicable percentage of the
22average amount paid per kilowatthour shall be multiplied by the
23total amount of energy delivered by such electric utility in
24the calendar year 2015, adjusted to reflect the proportion of
25the utility's load attributable to customers who are exempt
26from subsections (a) through (j) of this Section under

HB3249 Enrolled- 1317 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1subsection (l) of this Section. For purposes of this subsection
2(m), the amount paid per kilowatthour includes, without
3limitation, estimated amounts paid for supply, transmission,
4distribution, surcharges, and add-on taxes. For purposes of
5this Section, "eligible retail customers" shall have the
6meaning set forth in Section 16-111.5 of this Act. Once the
7Commission has approved a plan under subsections (f) and (g) of
8this Section, no subsequent rate impact determinations shall be
9made.

7horse races conducted by an Illinois organization licensee or
8conducted at a racetrack located in another state or country
9and televised in Illinois in accordance with subsection (g) of

11Board, licensees may supplement any pari-mutuel pool in order
12to guarantee a minimum distribution. Such pari-mutuel method of
13wagering shall not, under any circumstances if conducted under
14the provisions of this Act, be held or construed to be
15unlawful, other statutes of this State to the contrary
16notwithstanding. Subject to rules for advance wagering
17promulgated by the Board, any licensee may accept wagers in
18advance of the day of the race wagered upon occurs.
19 (b) No other method of betting, pool making, wagering or
20gambling shall be used or permitted by the licensee. Each
21licensee may retain, subject to the payment of all applicable
22taxes and purses, an amount not to exceed 17% of all money
23wagered under subsection (a) of this Section, except as may
24otherwise be permitted under this Act.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1391 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (b-5) An individual may place a wager under the pari-mutuel
2system from any licensed location authorized under this Act
3provided that wager is electronically recorded in the manner
4described in Section 3.12 of this Act. Any wager made
5electronically by an individual while physically on the
6premises of a licensee shall be deemed to have been made at the
7premises of that licensee.
8 (c) Until January 1, 2000, the sum held by any licensee for
9payment of outstanding pari-mutuel tickets, if unclaimed prior
10to December 31 of the next year, shall be retained by the
11licensee for payment of such tickets until that date. Within 10
12days thereafter, the balance of such sum remaining unclaimed,
13less any uncashed supplements contributed by such licensee for
14the purpose of guaranteeing minimum distributions of any
15pari-mutuel pool, shall be paid to the Illinois Veterans'

18 (c-5) Beginning January 1, 2000, the sum held by any
19licensee for payment of outstanding pari-mutuel tickets, if
20unclaimed prior to December 31 of the next year, shall be
21retained by the licensee for payment of such tickets until that

23remaining unclaimed, less any uncashed supplements contributed
24by such licensee for the purpose of guaranteeing minimum
25distributions of any pari-mutuel pool, shall be evenly
26distributed to the purse account of the organization licensee

HB3249 Enrolled- 1392 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1and the organization licensee.
2 (d) A pari-mutuel ticket shall be honored until December 31
3of the next calendar year, and the licensee shall pay the same
4and may charge the amount thereof against unpaid money
5similarly accumulated on account of pari-mutuel tickets not

7 (e) No licensee shall knowingly permit any minor, other
8than an employee of such licensee or an owner, trainer, jockey,
9driver, or employee thereof, to be admitted during a racing
10program unless accompanied by a parent or guardian, or any
11minor to be a patron of the pari-mutuel system of wagering
12conducted or supervised by it. The admission of any
13unaccompanied minor, other than an employee of the licensee or
14an owner, trainer, jockey, driver, or employee thereof at a
15race track is a Class C misdemeanor.
16 (f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Act, an
17organization licensee may contract with an entity in another
18state or country to permit any legal wagering entity in another
19state or country to accept wagers solely within such other
20state or country on races conducted by the organization
21licensee in this State. Beginning January 1, 2000, these wagers
22shall not be subject to State taxation. Until January 1, 2000,
23when the out-of-State entity conducts a pari-mutuel pool
24separate from the organization licensee, a privilege tax equal
25to 7 1/2% of all monies received by the organization licensee
26from entities in other states or countries pursuant to such

HB3249 Enrolled- 1393 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1contracts is imposed on the organization licensee, and such
2privilege tax shall be remitted to the Department of Revenue
3within 48 hours of receipt of the moneys from the simulcast.
4When the out-of-State entity conducts a combined pari-mutuel
5pool with the organization licensee, the tax shall be 10% of
6all monies received by the organization licensee with 25% of
7the receipts from this 10% tax to be distributed to the county
8in which the race was conducted.
9 An organization licensee may permit one or more of its
10races to be utilized for pari-mutuel wagering at one or more
11locations in other states and may transmit audio and visual
12signals of races the organization licensee conducts to one or
13more locations outside the State or country and may also permit
14pari-mutuel pools in other states or countries to be combined
15with its gross or net wagering pools or with wagering pools
16established by other states.
17 (g) A host track may accept interstate simulcast wagers on
18horse races conducted in other states or countries and shall
19control the number of signals and types of breeds of racing in
20its simulcast program, subject to the disapproval of the Board.
21The Board may prohibit a simulcast program only if it finds
22that the simulcast program is clearly adverse to the integrity
23of racing. The host track simulcast program shall include the
24signal of live racing of all organization licensees. All
25non-host licensees and advance deposit wagering licensees
26shall carry the signal of and accept wagers on live racing of

HB3249 Enrolled- 1394 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1all organization licensees. Advance deposit wagering licensees
2shall not be permitted to accept out-of-state wagers on any
3Illinois signal provided pursuant to this Section without the
4approval and consent of the organization licensee providing the
5signal. For one year after August 15, 2014 (the effective date
6of Public Act 98-968), non-host licensees may carry the host
7track simulcast program and shall accept wagers on all races
8included as part of the simulcast program of horse races
9conducted at race tracks located within North America upon
10which wagering is permitted. For a period of one year after
11August 15, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act 98-968), on
12horse races conducted at race tracks located outside of North
13America, non-host licensees may accept wagers on all races
14included as part of the simulcast program upon which wagering
15is permitted. Beginning August 15, 2015 (one year after the
16effective date of Public Act 98-968), non-host licensees may
17carry the host track simulcast program and shall accept wagers
18on all races included as part of the simulcast program upon
19which wagering is permitted. All organization licensees shall
20provide their live signal to all advance deposit wagering
21licensees for a simulcast commission fee not to exceed 6% of
22the advance deposit wagering licensee's Illinois handle on the
23organization licensee's signal without prior approval by the
24Board. The Board may adopt rules under which it may permit
25simulcast commission fees in excess of 6%. The Board shall
26adopt rules limiting the interstate commission fees charged to

HB3249 Enrolled- 1395 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1an advance deposit wagering licensee. The Board shall adopt
2rules regarding advance deposit wagering on interstate
3simulcast races that shall reflect, among other things, the
4General Assembly's desire to maximize revenues to the State,
5horsemen purses, and organizational licensees. However,
6organization licensees providing live signals pursuant to the
7requirements of this subsection (g) may petition the Board to
8withhold their live signals from an advance deposit wagering
9licensee if the organization licensee discovers and the Board
10finds reputable or credible information that the advance
11deposit wagering licensee is under investigation by another
12state or federal governmental agency, the advance deposit
13wagering licensee's license has been suspended in another
14state, or the advance deposit wagering licensee's license is in
15revocation proceedings in another state. The organization
16licensee's provision of their live signal to an advance deposit
17wagering licensee under this subsection (g) pertains to wagers
18placed from within Illinois. Advance deposit wagering
19licensees may place advance deposit wagering terminals at
20wagering facilities as a convenience to customers. The advance
21deposit wagering licensee shall not charge or collect any fee
22from purses for the placement of the advance deposit wagering
23terminals. The costs and expenses of the host track and
24non-host licensees associated with interstate simulcast
25wagering, other than the interstate commission fee, shall be
26borne by the host track and all non-host licensees incurring

HB3249 Enrolled- 1396 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1these costs. The interstate commission fee shall not exceed 5%
2of Illinois handle on the interstate simulcast race or races
3without prior approval of the Board. The Board shall promulgate
4rules under which it may permit interstate commission fees in
5excess of 5%. The interstate commission fee and other fees
6charged by the sending racetrack, including, but not limited
7to, satellite decoder fees, shall be uniformly applied to the
8host track and all non-host licensees.
9 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, through
10December 31, 2020, an organization licensee, with the consent
11of the horsemen association representing the largest number of
12owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
13horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting, may
14maintain a system whereby advance deposit wagering may take
15place or an organization licensee, with the consent of the
16horsemen association representing the largest number of
17owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
18horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting, may
19contract with another person to carry out a system of advance
20deposit wagering. Such consent may not be unreasonably
21withheld. Only with respect to an appeal to the Board that
22consent for an organization licensee that maintains its own
23advance deposit wagering system is being unreasonably
24withheld, the Board shall issue a final order within 30 days
25after initiation of the appeal, and the organization licensee's
26advance deposit wagering system may remain operational during

HB3249 Enrolled- 1397 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1that 30-day period. The actions of any organization licensee
2who conducts advance deposit wagering or any person who has a
3contract with an organization licensee to conduct advance
4deposit wagering who conducts advance deposit wagering on or
5after January 1, 2013 and prior to June 7, 2013 (the effective
6date of Public Act 98-18) taken in reliance on the changes made
7to this subsection (g) by Public Act 98-18 are hereby
8validated, provided payment of all applicable pari-mutuel
9taxes are remitted to the Board. All advance deposit wagers
10placed from within Illinois must be placed through a
11Board-approved advance deposit wagering licensee; no other
12entity may accept an advance deposit wager from a person within
13Illinois. All advance deposit wagering is subject to any rules
14adopted by the Board. The Board may adopt rules necessary to
15regulate advance deposit wagering through the use of emergency
16rulemaking in accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois
17Administrative Procedure Act. The General Assembly finds that
18the adoption of rules to regulate advance deposit wagering is
19deemed an emergency and necessary for the public interest,
20safety, and welfare. An advance deposit wagering licensee may
21retain all moneys as agreed to by contract with an organization
22licensee. Any moneys retained by the organization licensee from
23advance deposit wagering, not including moneys retained by the
24advance deposit wagering licensee, shall be paid 50% to the
25organization licensee's purse account and 50% to the
26organization licensee. With the exception of any organization

HB3249 Enrolled- 1398 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1licensee that is owned by a publicly traded company that is
2incorporated in a state other than Illinois and advance deposit
3wagering licensees under contract with such organization
4licensees, organization licensees that maintain advance
5deposit wagering systems and advance deposit wagering
6licensees that contract with organization licensees shall
7provide sufficiently detailed monthly accountings to the
8horsemen association representing the largest number of
9owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
10horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting so that
11the horsemen association, as an interested party, can confirm
12the accuracy of the amounts paid to the purse account at the
13horsemen association's affiliated organization licensee from
14advance deposit wagering. If more than one breed races at the
15same race track facility, then the 50% of the moneys to be paid
16to an organization licensee's purse account shall be allocated
17among all organization licensees' purse accounts operating at
18that race track facility proportionately based on the actual
19number of host days that the Board grants to that breed at that
20race track facility in the current calendar year. To the extent
21any fees from advance deposit wagering conducted in Illinois
22for wagers in Illinois or other states have been placed in
23escrow or otherwise withheld from wagers pending a
24determination of the legality of advance deposit wagering, no
25action shall be brought to declare such wagers or the
26disbursement of any fees previously escrowed illegal.

1 (1) Between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. an
2 inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track may
3 supplement the host track simulcast program with
4 additional simulcast races or race programs, provided that
5 between January 1 and the third Friday in February of any
6 year, inclusive, if no live thoroughbred racing is
7 occurring in Illinois during this period, only
8 thoroughbred races may be used for supplemental interstate
9 simulcast purposes. The Board shall withhold approval for a
10 supplemental interstate simulcast only if it finds that the
11 simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of racing. A
12 supplemental interstate simulcast may be transmitted from
13 an inter-track wagering licensee to its affiliated
14 non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for a
15 supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by the
16 non-host licensee and its affiliated non-host licensees
17 receiving the simulcast.
18 (2) Between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. an
19 inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track may
20 receive supplemental interstate simulcasts only with the
21 consent of the host track, except when the Board finds that
22 the simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of
23 racing. Consent granted under this paragraph (2) to any
24 inter-track wagering licensee shall be deemed consent to
25 all non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for
26 the supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by all

HB3249 Enrolled- 1400 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 participating non-host licensees.
2 (3) Each licensee conducting interstate simulcast
3 wagering may retain, subject to the payment of all
4 applicable taxes and the purses, an amount not to exceed
5 17% of all money wagered. If any licensee conducts the
6 pari-mutuel system wagering on races conducted at
7 racetracks in another state or country, each such race or
8 race program shall be considered a separate racing day for
9 the purpose of determining the daily handle and computing
10 the privilege tax of that daily handle as provided in
11 subsection (a) of Section 27. Until January 1, 2000, from
12 the sums permitted to be retained pursuant to this
13 subsection, each inter-track wagering location licensee
14 shall pay 1% of the pari-mutuel handle wagered on simulcast
15 wagering to the Horse Racing Tax Allocation Fund, subject

3 Illinois horse races at all wagering facilities in any
4 calendar year is less than 75% of the total Illinois

6 affiliated with a race track that maintains purse accounts
7 for both standardbred and thoroughbred racing, the amount
8 to be paid to the wagering facility shall be divided
9 between each purse account pro rata, based on the amount of
10 Illinois handle on Illinois standardbred and thoroughbred

13 shall appropriate sufficient funds from the General
14 Revenue Fund to the Department of Agriculture for payment
15 into the thoroughbred and standardbred horse racing purse
16 accounts at Illinois pari-mutuel tracks. The amount paid to

21 (15) As a means to reduce the underage consumption of
22 alcoholic liquors, the Commission shall conduct alcohol
23 compliance operations to investigate whether businesses
24 that are soliciting, selling, and shipping wine from inside
25 or outside of this State directly to residents of this
26 State are licensed by this State or are selling or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1440 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 attempting to sell wine to persons under 21 years of age in
2 violation of this Act.
3 (16) The Commission shall, in addition to notifying any
4 appropriate law enforcement agency, submit notices of
5 complaints or violations of Sections 6-29 and 6-29.1 by
6 persons who do not hold a winery shipper's license under
7 this Act to the Illinois Attorney General and to the U.S.
8 Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
9 Bureau.
10 (17)(A) A person licensed to make wine under the laws
11 of another state who has a winery shipper's license under
12 this Act and annually produces less than 25,000 gallons of
13 wine or a person who has a first-class or second-class wine
14 manufacturer's license, a first-class or second-class
15 wine-maker's license, or a limited wine manufacturer's
16 license under this Act and annually produces less than
17 25,000 gallons of wine may make application to the
18 Commission for a self-distribution exemption to allow the
19 sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the exemption
20 holder's wine to retail licensees per year.
21 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
22 penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the date it
23 was established; (2) its volume of production and sales for
24 each year since its establishment; (3) its efforts to
25 establish distributor relationships; (4) that a
26 self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1441 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 marketing of its wine; and (5) that it will comply with the
2 liquor and revenue laws of the United States, this State,
3 and any other state where it is licensed.
4 (C) The Commission shall approve the application for a
5 self-distribution exemption if such person: (1) is in
6 compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; (2) is not a
7 member of any affiliated group that produces more than
8 25,000 gallons of wine per annum or produces any other
9 alcoholic liquor; (3) will not annually produce for sale
10 more than 25,000 gallons of wine; and (4) will not annually
11 sell more than 5,000 gallons of its wine to retail
12 licensees.
13 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
14 annually certify to the Commission its production of wine
15 in the previous 12 months and its anticipated production
16 and sales for the next 12 months. The Commission may fine,
17 suspend, or revoke a self-distribution exemption after a
18 hearing if it finds that the exemption holder has made a
19 material misrepresentation in its application, violated a
20 revenue or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of
21 25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or become part
22 of an affiliated group producing more than 25,000 gallons
23 of wine or any other alcoholic liquor.
24 (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act or
25 Public Act 95-634 or a bona fide investigation by duly
26 sworn law enforcement officials, the Commission, or its

HB3249 Enrolled- 1442 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 agents, the Commission shall maintain the production and
2 sales information of a self-distribution exemption holder
3 as confidential and shall not release such information to
4 any person.
5 (F) The Commission shall issue regulations governing
6 self-distribution exemptions consistent with this Section
7 and this Act.
8 (G) Nothing in this paragraph subsection (17) shall
9 prohibit a self-distribution exemption holder from
10 entering into or simultaneously having a distribution
11 agreement with a licensed Illinois distributor.
12 (H) It is the intent of this paragraph subsection (17)
13 to promote and continue orderly markets. The General
14 Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois'
15 regulatory distribution system it is necessary to create an
16 exception for smaller makers of wine as their wines are
17 frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and
18 taste to find and create market niches sometimes too small
19 for distributor or importing distributor business
20 strategies. Limited self-distribution rights will afford
21 and allow smaller makers of wine access to the marketplace
22 in order to develop a customer base without impairing the
23 integrity of the 3-tier system.
24 (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
25 either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
26 and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of beer,

HB3249 Enrolled- 1443 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 may make application to the State Commission for a
2 self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
3 than 232,500 gallons of the exemption holder's beer per
4 year to retail licensees and to brewers, class 1 brewers,
5 and class 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of
6 Section 6-4 of this Act, sell beer, cider, or both beer and
7 cider to non-licensees at their breweries.
8 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
9 penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall state
10 (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume of beer
11 manufactured and sold for each year since its
12 establishment; (3) its efforts to establish distributor
13 relationships; (4) that a self-distribution exemption is
14 necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and (5)
15 that it will comply with the alcoholic beverage and revenue
16 laws of the United States, this State, and any other state
17 where it is licensed.
18 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
19 State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to action
20 by the State Commission. The State Commission shall approve
21 the application for a self-distribution exemption if the
22 class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with the
23 State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is not a
24 member of any affiliated group that manufactures more than
25 930,000 gallons of beer per annum or produces any other
26 alcoholic beverages; (3) shall not annually manufacture

HB3249 Enrolled- 1444 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer; (4) shall not
2 annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its beer to
3 retail licensees or to brewers, class 1 brewers, and class
4 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4
5 of this Act, sell beer, cider, or both beer and cider to
6 non-licensees at their breweries; and (5) has relinquished
7 any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any
8 ownership interest it held in the licensed brew pub.
9 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
10 annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture of
11 beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
12 manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
13 State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
14 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
15 that the exemption holder has made a material
16 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
17 or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
18 manufacture of 930,000 gallons of beer in any calendar year
19 or became part of an affiliated group manufacturing more
20 than 930,000 gallons of beer or any other alcoholic
21 beverage.
22 (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
23 regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
24 consistent with this Act.
25 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
26 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1445 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
2 licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
3 If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
4 distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
5 rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then the
6 self-distribution exemption holder's distribution rights
7 in the assigned territories shall cease in a reasonable
8 time not to exceed 60 days.
9 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote
10 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
11 that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
12 distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception
13 for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and allow such
14 smaller manufacturers of beer access to the marketplace in
15 order to develop a customer base without impairing the
16 integrity of the 3-tier system.
17 (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall
18present a written report to the Governor and the General
19Assembly that shall be based on a study of the impact of Public
20Act 90-739 on the business of soliciting, selling, and shipping
21alcoholic liquor from outside of this State directly to
22residents of this State.
23 As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the
24following information:
25 (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues
26 generated as a result of Public Act 90-739;

HB3249 Enrolled- 1446 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (ii) the amount of licensing fees received as a result
2 of Public Act 90-739;

13 Section 565. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
14changing Sections 5-4.2, 5-5.02, 5-5.25, 5-16.8, 5A-15, 9A-11,
1512-4.51, and 14-12 and by setting forth, renumbering, and

18 (305 ILCS 5/5-4.2) (from Ch. 23, par. 5-4.2)
19 Sec. 5-4.2. Ambulance services payments.
20 (a) For ambulance services provided to a recipient of aid
21under this Article on or after January 1, 1993, the Illinois
22Department shall reimburse ambulance service providers at
23rates calculated in accordance with this Section. It is the
24intent of the General Assembly to provide adequate

HB3249 Enrolled- 1555 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1reimbursement for ambulance services so as to ensure adequate
2access to services for recipients of aid under this Article and
3to provide appropriate incentives to ambulance service
4providers to provide services in an efficient and
5cost-effective manner. Thus, it is the intent of the General
6Assembly that the Illinois Department implement a
7reimbursement system for ambulance services that, to the extent
8practicable and subject to the availability of funds
9appropriated by the General Assembly for this purpose, is
10consistent with the payment principles of Medicare. To ensure
11uniformity between the payment principles of Medicare and
12Medicaid, the Illinois Department shall follow, to the extent
13necessary and practicable and subject to the availability of
14funds appropriated by the General Assembly for this purpose,
15the statutes, laws, regulations, policies, procedures,
16principles, definitions, guidelines, and manuals used to
17determine the amounts paid to ambulance service providers under
18Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (Medicare).
19 (b) For ambulance services provided to a recipient of aid
20under this Article on or after January 1, 1996, the Illinois
21Department shall reimburse ambulance service providers based
22upon the actual distance traveled if a natural disaster,
23weather conditions, road repairs, or traffic congestion
24necessitates the use of a route other than the most direct
25route.
26 (c) For purposes of this Section, "ambulance services"

HB3249 Enrolled- 1556 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1includes medical transportation services provided by means of
2an ambulance, medi-car, service car, or taxi.
3 (c-1) For purposes of this Section, "ground ambulance
4service" means medical transportation services that are
5described as ground ambulance services by the Centers for
6Medicare and Medicaid Services and provided in a vehicle that
7is licensed as an ambulance by the Illinois Department of
8Public Health pursuant to the Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
9Systems Act.
10 (c-2) For purposes of this Section, "ground ambulance
11service provider" means a vehicle service provider as described
12in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act that
13operates licensed ambulances for the purpose of providing
14emergency ambulance services, or non-emergency ambulance
15services, or both. For purposes of this Section, this includes
16both ambulance providers and ambulance suppliers as described
17by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
18 (c-3) For purposes of this Section, "medi-car" means
19transportation services provided to a patient who is confined
20to a wheelchair and requires the use of a hydraulic or electric
21lift or ramp and wheelchair lockdown when the patient's
22condition does not require medical observation, medical
23supervision, medical equipment, the administration of
24medications, or the administration of oxygen.
25 (c-4) For purposes of this Section, "service car" means
26transportation services provided to a patient by a passenger

HB3249 Enrolled- 1557 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1vehicle where that patient does not require the specialized
2modes described in subsection (c-1) or (c-3).
3 (d) This Section does not prohibit separate billing by
4ambulance service providers for oxygen furnished while
5providing advanced life support services.
6 (e) Beginning with services rendered on or after July 1,

8transportation must certify that the driver and employee
9attendant, as applicable, have completed a safety program
10approved by the Department to protect both the patient and the
11driver, prior to transporting a patient. The provider must
12maintain this certification in its records. The provider shall
13produce such documentation upon demand by the Department or its
14representative. Failure to produce documentation of such
15training shall result in recovery of any payments made by the
16Department for services rendered by a non-certified driver or
17employee attendant. Medi-car and service car providers must
18maintain legible documentation in their records of the driver
19and, as applicable, employee attendant that actually
20transported the patient. Providers must recertify all drivers
21and employee attendants every 3 years.
22 Notwithstanding the requirements above, any public
23transportation provider of medi-car and service car
24transportation that receives federal funding under 49 U.S.C.
255307 and 5311 need not certify its drivers and employee
26attendants under this Section, since safety training is already

HB3249 Enrolled- 1558 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1federally mandated.
2 (f) With respect to any policy or program administered by

4medical transportation by ground ambulance service providers,
5including, but not limited to, the Non-Emergency
6Transportation Services Prior Approval Program (NETSPAP), the
7Department shall establish by rule a process by which ground
8ambulance service providers of non-emergency medical
9transportation may appeal any decision by the Department or its
10agent for which no denial was received prior to the time of
11transport that either (i) denies a request for approval for
12payment of non-emergency transportation by means of ground
13ambulance service or (ii) grants a request for approval of
14non-emergency transportation by means of ground ambulance
15service at a level of service that entitles the ground
16ambulance service provider to a lower level of compensation
17from the Department than the ground ambulance service provider
18would have received as compensation for the level of service
19requested. The rule shall be filed by December 15, 2012 and
20shall provide that, for any decision rendered by the Department
21or its agent on or after the date the rule takes effect, the
22ground ambulance service provider shall have 60 days from the
23date the decision is received to file an appeal. The rule
24established by the Department shall be, insofar as is
25practical, consistent with the Illinois Administrative
26Procedure Act. The Director's decision on an appeal under this

HB3249 Enrolled- 1559 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

4date of Public Act 97-842), (i) no denial of a request for
5approval for payment of non-emergency transportation by means
6of ground ambulance service, and (ii) no approval of
7non-emergency transportation by means of ground ambulance
8service at a level of service that entitles the ground
9ambulance service provider to a lower level of compensation
10from the Department than would have been received at the level
11of service submitted by the ground ambulance service provider,
12may be issued by the Department or its agent unless the
13Department has submitted the criteria for determining the
14appropriateness of the transport for first notice publication
15in the Illinois Register pursuant to Section 5-40 of the
16Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
17 (g) Whenever a patient covered by a medical assistance
18program under this Code or by another medical program
19administered by the Department, including a patient covered
20under the State's Medicaid managed care program, is being
21transported from a facility and requires non-emergency
22transportation including ground ambulance, medi-car, or
23service car transportation, a Physician Certification

21 (305 ILCS 5/9A-11) (from Ch. 23, par. 9A-11)
22 Sec. 9A-11. Child care.
23 (a) The General Assembly recognizes that families with
24children need child care in order to work. Child care is
25expensive and families with low incomes, including those who

HB3249 Enrolled- 1586 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1are transitioning from welfare to work, often struggle to pay
2the costs of day care. The General Assembly understands the
3importance of helping low-income low income working families
4become and remain self-sufficient. The General Assembly also
5believes that it is the responsibility of families to share in
6the costs of child care. It is also the preference of the
7General Assembly that all working poor families should be
8treated equally, regardless of their welfare status.
9 (b) To the extent resources permit, the Illinois Department
10shall provide child care services to parents or other relatives
11as defined by rule who are working or participating in
12employment or Department approved education or training
13programs. At a minimum, the Illinois Department shall cover the
14following categories of families:
15 (1) recipients of TANF under Article IV participating
16 in work and training activities as specified in the
17 personal plan for employment and self-sufficiency;
18 (2) families transitioning from TANF to work;
19 (3) families at risk of becoming recipients of TANF;
20 (4) families with special needs as defined by rule;
21 (5) working families with very low incomes as defined
22 by rule;
23 (6) families that are not recipients of TANF and that
24 need child care assistance to participate in education and
25 training activities; and
26 (7) families with children under the age of 5 who have

HB3249 Enrolled- 1587 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 an open intact family services case with the Department of
2 Children and Family Services. Any family that receives
3 child care assistance in accordance with this paragraph
4 shall remain eligible for child care assistance 6 months
5 after the child's intact family services case is closed,
6 regardless of whether the child's parents or other
7 relatives as defined by rule are working or participating
8 in Department approved employment or education or training
9 programs. The Department of Human Services, in
10 consultation with the Department of Children and Family
11 Services, shall adopt rules to protect the privacy of
12 families who are the subject of an open intact family
13 services case when such families enroll in child care
14 services. Additional rules shall be adopted to offer
15 children who have an open intact family services case the
16 opportunity to receive an Early Intervention screening and
17 other services that their families may be eligible for as
18 provided by the Department of Human Services.
19 The Department shall specify by rule the conditions of
20eligibility, the application process, and the types, amounts,
21and duration of services. Eligibility for child care benefits
22and the amount of child care provided may vary based on family
23size, income, and other factors as specified by rule.
24 A family's eligibility for child care services shall be
25redetermined no sooner than 12 months following the initial
26determination or most recent redetermination. During the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1588 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
112-month periods, the family shall remain eligible for child
2care services regardless of (i) a change in family income,
3unless family income exceeds 85% of State median income, or
4(ii) a temporary change in the ongoing status of the parents or
5other relatives, as defined by rule, as working or attending a
6job training or educational program.
7 In determining income eligibility for child care benefits,
8the Department annually, at the beginning of each fiscal year,
9shall establish, by rule, one income threshold for each family
10size, in relation to percentage of State median income for a
11family of that size, that makes families with incomes below the
12specified threshold eligible for assistance and families with
13incomes above the specified threshold ineligible for
14assistance. Through and including fiscal year 2007, the
15specified threshold must be no less than 50% of the
16then-current State median income for each family size.
17Beginning in fiscal year 2008, the specified threshold must be
18no less than 185% of the then-current federal poverty level for
19each family size. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or
20administrative rule to the contrary, beginning in fiscal year
212019, the specified threshold for working families with very
22low incomes as defined by rule must be no less than 185% of the
23then-current federal poverty level for each family size.
24 In determining eligibility for assistance, the Department
25shall not give preference to any category of recipients or give
26preference to individuals based on their receipt of benefits

HB3249 Enrolled- 1589 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1under this Code.
2 Nothing in this Section shall be construed as conferring
3entitlement status to eligible families.
4 The Illinois Department is authorized to lower income
5eligibility ceilings, raise parent co-payments, create waiting
6lists, or take such other actions during a fiscal year as are
7necessary to ensure that child care benefits paid under this
8Article do not exceed the amounts appropriated for those child
9care benefits. These changes may be accomplished by emergency
10rule under Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative
11Procedure Act, except that the limitation on the number of
12emergency rules that may be adopted in a 24-month period shall
13not apply.
14 The Illinois Department may contract with other State
15agencies or child care organizations for the administration of
16child care services.
17 (c) Payment shall be made for child care that otherwise
18meets the requirements of this Section and applicable standards
19of State and local law and regulation, including any
20requirements the Illinois Department promulgates by rule in
21addition to the licensure requirements promulgated by the
22Department of Children and Family Services and Fire Prevention
23and Safety requirements promulgated by the Office of the State
24Fire Marshal, and is provided in any of the following:
25 (1) a child care center which is licensed or exempt
26 from licensure pursuant to Section 2.09 of the Child Care

HB3249 Enrolled- 1590 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Act of 1969;
2 (2) a licensed child care home or home exempt from
3 licensing;
4 (3) a licensed group child care home;
5 (4) other types of child care, including child care
6 provided by relatives or persons living in the same home as
7 the child, as determined by the Illinois Department by
8 rule.
9 (c-5) Solely for the purposes of coverage under the
10Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, child and day care home
11providers, including licensed and license exempt,
12participating in the Department's child care assistance
13program shall be considered to be public employees and the
14State of Illinois shall be considered to be their employer as
15of January 1, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-320)
16this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly, but not
17before. The State shall engage in collective bargaining with an
18exclusive representative of child and day care home providers
19participating in the child care assistance program concerning
20their terms and conditions of employment that are within the
21State's control. Nothing in this subsection shall be understood
22to limit the right of families receiving services defined in
23this Section to select child and day care home providers or
24supervise them within the limits of this Section. The State
25shall not be considered to be the employer of child and day
26care home providers for any purposes not specifically provided

HB3249 Enrolled- 1591 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

2Assembly, including, but not limited to, purposes of vicarious
3liability in tort and purposes of statutory retirement or
4health insurance benefits. Child and day care home providers
5shall not be covered by the State Employees Group Insurance Act
6of 1971.
7 In according child and day care home providers and their
8selected representative rights under the Illinois Public Labor
9Relations Act, the State intends that the State action
10exemption to application of federal and State antitrust laws be
11fully available to the extent that their activities are
12authorized by Public Act 94-320 this amendatory Act of the 94th
13General Assembly.
14 (d) The Illinois Department shall establish, by rule, a
15co-payment scale that provides for cost sharing by families
16that receive child care services, including parents whose only
17income is from assistance under this Code. The co-payment shall
18be based on family income and family size and may be based on
19other factors as appropriate. Co-payments may be waived for
20families whose incomes are at or below the federal poverty
21level.
22 (d-5) The Illinois Department, in consultation with its
23Child Care and Development Advisory Council, shall develop a
24plan to revise the child care assistance program's co-payment
25scale. The plan shall be completed no later than February 1,
262008, and shall include:

HB3249 Enrolled- 1592 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

2 average American family spends on child care and the
3 relative amounts that low-income families and the average
4 American family spend on other necessities of life;
5 (2) recommendations for revising the child care
6 co-payment scale to assure that families receiving child
7 care services from the Department are paying no more than
8 they can reasonably afford;
9 (3) recommendations for revising the child care
10 co-payment scale to provide at-risk children with complete
11 access to Preschool for All and Head Start; and
12 (4) recommendations for changes in child care program
13 policies that affect the affordability of child care.
14 (e) (Blank).
15 (f) The Illinois Department shall, by rule, set rates to be
16paid for the various types of child care. Child care may be
17provided through one of the following methods:
18 (1) arranging the child care through eligible
19 providers by use of purchase of service contracts or
20 vouchers;
21 (2) arranging with other agencies and community
22 volunteer groups for non-reimbursed child care;
23 (3) (blank); or
24 (4) adopting such other arrangements as the Department
25 determines appropriate.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1603 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Access Hospital, as designated by the Department of
2 Public Health in accordance with 42 CFR 485, Subpart F.
3 The EAPG standardized amounts are determined
4 separately for each critical access hospital such that
5 simulated EAPG payments using outpatient base period
6 paid claim data plus payments under Section 5A-12.4 of
7 this Code net of the associated tax costs are equal to
8 the estimated costs of outpatient base period claims
9 data with a rate year cost inflation factor applied.
10 (3) In addition to the statewide-standardized amounts,
11 the Department shall develop adjusters to adjust the rate
12 of reimbursement for critical Medicaid hospital outpatient
13 providers or services, including outpatient high volume or
14 safety-net hospitals. Beginning July 1, 2018, the

16 increase annual expenditures associated with this adjustor
17 by $79,200,000, based on the State Fiscal Year 2015 base
18 year data and this adjustor shall apply to public
19 hospitals, except for large public hospitals, as defined
20 under 89 Ill. Adm. Code 148.25(a).
21 (4) Beginning July 1, 2018, in addition to the
22 statewide standardized amounts, the Department shall make
23 an add-on payment for outpatient expensive devices and
24 drugs. This add-on payment shall at least apply to claim
25 lines that: (i) are assigned with one of the following
26 EAPGs: 490, 1001 to 1020, and coded with one of the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1604 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 following revenue codes: 0274 to 0276, 0278; or (ii) are
2 assigned with one of the following EAPGs: 430 to 441, 443,
3 444, 460 to 465, 495, 496, 1090. The add-on payment shall
4 be calculated as follows: the claim line's covered charges
5 multiplied by the hospital's total acute cost to charge
6 ratio, less the claim line's EAPG payment plus $1,000,
7 multiplied by 0.8.
8 (5) Beginning July 1, 2018, the statewide-standardized
9 amounts for outpatient services shall be increased so that
10 base claims projected reimbursement is increased by an
11 amount equal to the funds allocated in paragraph (1) of
12 subsection (b) of Section 5A-12.6, less the amount
13 allocated under paragraphs (8) and (9) of subsection (a)
14 and paragraphs (3) and (4) of this subsection multiplied by

HB3249 Enrolled- 1605 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 allocated under paragraphs (8) and (9) of subsection (a)
2 and paragraphs (3) and (4) of this subsection multiplied by
3 46%. Beginning July 1, 2023, the statewide-standardized
4 amounts for outpatient services shall be increased so that
5 base claims projected reimbursement is increased by an
6 amount equal to the funds allocated in paragraph (4) of
7 subsection (b) of Section 5A-12.6, less the amount
8 allocated under paragraphs (8) and (9) of subsection (a)
9 and paragraphs (3) and (4) of this subsection multiplied by

22Department file a replacement rule.
23 (d) Transition period. There shall be a transition period
24to the reimbursement systems authorized under this Section that
25shall begin on the effective date of these systems and continue
26until June 30, 2018, unless extended by rule by the Department.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1606 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1To help provide an orderly and predictable transition to the
2new reimbursement systems and to preserve and enhance access to
3the hospital services during this transition, the Department
4shall allocate a transitional hospital access pool of at least
5$290,000,000 annually so that transitional hospital access
6payments are made to hospitals.
7 (1) After the transition period, the Department may
8 begin incorporating the transitional hospital access pool
9 into the base rate structure; however, the transitional
10 hospital access payments in effect on June 30, 2018 shall
11 continue to be paid, if continued under Section 5A-16.
12 (2) After the transition period, if the Department
13 reduces payments from the transitional hospital access
14 pool, it shall increase base rates, develop new adjustors,
15 adjust current adjustors, develop new hospital access
16 payments based on updated information, or any combination
17 thereof by an amount equal to the decreases proposed in the
18 transitional hospital access pool payments, ensuring that
19 the entire transitional hospital access pool amount shall
20 continue to be used for hospital payments.
21 (d-5) Hospital transformation program. The Department, in
22conjunction with the Hospital Transformation Review Committee
23created under subsection (d-5), shall develop a hospital
24transformation program to provide financial assistance to
25hospitals in transforming their services and care models to
26better align with the needs of the communities they serve. The

HB3249 Enrolled- 1607 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1payments authorized in this Section shall be subject to
2approval by the federal government.
3 (1) Phase 1. In State fiscal years 2019 through 2020,
4 the Department shall allocate funds from the transitional
5 access hospital pool to create a hospital transformation
6 pool of at least $262,906,870 annually and make hospital
7 transformation payments to hospitals. Subject to Section
8 5A-16, in State fiscal years 2019 and 2020, an Illinois
9 hospital that received either a transitional hospital
10 access payment under subsection (d) or a supplemental
11 payment under subsection (f) of this Section in State
12 fiscal year 2018, shall receive a hospital transformation
13 payment as follows:
14 (A) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
15 inpatient utilization rate is equal to or greater than
16 45%, the hospital transformation payment shall be
17 equal to 100% of the sum of its transitional hospital
18 access payment authorized under subsection (d) and any
19 supplemental payment authorized under subsection (f).
20 (B) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
21 inpatient utilization rate is equal to or greater than
22 25% but less than 45%, the hospital transformation
23 payment shall be equal to 75% of the sum of its
24 transitional hospital access payment authorized under
25 subsection (d) and any supplemental payment authorized
26 under subsection (f).

HB3249 Enrolled- 1608 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (C) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
2 inpatient utilization rate is less than 25%, the
3 hospital transformation payment shall be equal to 50%
4 of the sum of its transitional hospital access payment
5 authorized under subsection (d) and any supplemental
6 payment authorized under subsection (f).
7 (2) Phase 2. During State fiscal years 2021 and 2022,
8 the Department shall allocate funds from the transitional
9 access hospital pool to create a hospital transformation
10 pool annually and make hospital transformation payments to
11 hospitals participating in the transformation program. Any
12 hospital may seek transformation funding in Phase 2. Any
13 hospital that seeks transformation funding in Phase 2 to
14 update or repurpose the hospital's physical structure to
15 transition to a new delivery model, must submit to the
16 Department in writing a transformation plan, based on the
17 Department's guidelines, that describes the desired
18 delivery model with projections of patient volumes by
19 service lines and projected revenues, expenses, and net
20 income that correspond to the new delivery model. In Phase
21 2, subject to the approval of rules, the Department may use
22 the hospital transformation pool to increase base rates,
23 develop new adjustors, adjust current adjustors, or
24 develop new access payments in order to support and
25 incentivize hospitals to pursue such transformation. In
26 developing such methodologies, the Department shall ensure

HB3249 Enrolled- 1609 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 that the entire hospital transformation pool continues to
2 be expended to ensure access to hospital services or to
3 support organizations that had received hospital
4 transformation payments under this Section.
5 (A) Any hospital participating in the hospital
6 transformation program shall provide an opportunity
7 for public input by local community groups, hospital
8 workers, and healthcare professionals and assist in
9 facilitating discussions about any transformations or
10 changes to the hospital.
11 (B) As provided in paragraph (9) of Section 3 of
12 the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act, any
13 hospital participating in the transformation program
14 may be excluded from the requirements of the Illinois
15 Health Facilities Planning Act for those projects
16 related to the hospital's transformation. To be
17 eligible, the hospital must submit to the Health
18 Facilities and Services Review Board certification
19 from the Department, approved by the Hospital
20 Transformation Review Committee, that the project is a
21 part of the hospital's transformation.
22 (C) As provided in subsection (a-20) of Section
23 32.5 of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems
24 Act, a hospital that received hospital transformation
25 payments under this Section may convert to a
26 freestanding emergency center. To be eligible for such

HB3249 Enrolled- 1610 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 a conversion, the hospital must submit to the
2 Department of Public Health certification from the
3 Department, approved by the Hospital Transformation
4 Review Committee, that the project is a part of the
5 hospital's transformation.

21 Section 570. The Early Mental Health and Addictions
22Treatment Act is amended by changing Section 10 as follows:
23 (305 ILCS 65/10)
24 Sec. 10. Medicaid pilot program for opioid and other drug

HB3249 Enrolled- 1615 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1addictions.
2 (a) Legislative findings. The General Assembly finds as
3follows:
4 (1) Illinois continues to face a serious and ongoing
5 opioid epidemic.
6 (2) Opioid-related overdose deaths rose 76% between
7 2013 and 2016.
8 (3) Opioid and other drug addictions are life-long
9 diseases that require a disease management approach and not
10 just episodic treatment.
11 (4) There is an urgent need to create a treatment
12 approach that proactively engages and encourages
13 individuals with opioid and other drug addictions into
14 treatment to help prevent chronic use and a worsening
15 addiction and to significantly curb the rate of overdose
16 deaths.
17 (b) With the goal of early initial engagement of
18individuals who have an opioid or other drug addiction in
19addiction treatment and for keeping individuals engaged in
20treatment following detoxification, a residential treatment
21stay, or hospitalization to prevent chronic recurrent drug use,
22the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, in
23partnership with the Department of Human Services' Division of
24Substance Use Prevention and Recovery Alcoholism and Substance
25Abuse and with meaningful input from stakeholders, shall
26develop an Assertive Engagement and Community-Based Clinical

HB3249 Enrolled- 1616 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Treatment Pilot Program for early treatment of an opioid or
2other drug addiction. The pilot program shall be implemented
3across a broad spectrum of geographic regions across the State.
4 (c) Assertive engagement and community-based clinical
5treatment services. All services included in the pilot program
6established under this Section shall be evidence-based or
7evidence-informed as applicable and the services shall be
8flexibly provided in-office, in-home, and in-community with an
9emphasis on in-home and in-community services. The model shall
10take into consideration area workforce, community uniqueness,
11and cultural diversity. The model shall, at a minimum, allow
12for and include each of the following:
13 (1) Assertive community outreach, engagement, and
14 continuing care strategies to encourage participation and
15 retention in addiction treatment services for both initial
16 engagement into addiction treatment services, and for
17 post-hospitalization, post-detoxification, and
18 post-residential treatment.
19 (2) Case management for purposes of linking
20 individuals to treatment, ongoing monitoring, problem
21 solving, and assisting individuals in organizing their
22 treatment and goals. Case management shall be covered for
23 individuals not yet engaged in treatment for purposes of
24 reaching such individuals early on in their addiction and
25 for individuals in treatment.
26 (3) Clinical treatment that is delivered in an

HB3249 Enrolled- 1617 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 individual's natural environment, including in-home or
2 in-community treatment, to better equip the individual
3 with coping mechanisms that may trigger re-use.
4 (4) Coverage of provider transportation costs in
5 delivering in-home and in-community services in both rural
6 and urban settings. For rural communities, the model shall
7 take into account the wider geographic areas providers are
8 required to travel for in-home and in-community pilot
9 services for purposes of reimbursement.
10 (5) Recovery support services.
11 (6) For individuals who receive services through the
12 pilot program but disengage for a short duration (a period
13 of no longer than 9 months), allow seamless treatment
14 re-engagement in the pilot program.
15 (7) Supported education and employment.
16 (8) Working with the individual's family, school, and
17 other community support systems.
18 (9) Service flexibility to enable recovery and
19 positive health outcomes.
20 (d) Federal waiver or State Plan amendment; implementation
21timeline. The Department shall follow the timeline for
22application for federal approval and implementation outlined
23in subsection (c) of Section 5. The pilot program contemplated
24in this Section shall be implemented only to the extent that

23 (a) The State construction agency must use a two-phase
24procedure for the selection of the successful design-build

HB3249 Enrolled- 1626 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1entity. Phase I of the procedure will evaluate and shortlist
2the design-build entities based on qualifications, and Phase II
3will evaluate the technical and cost proposals.
4 (b) The State construction agency shall include in the
5request for proposal the evaluating factors to be used in Phase
6I. These factors are in addition to any prequalification
7requirements of design-build entities that the agency has set

1 Section 595. The Comprehensive Lead Education, Reduction,
2and Window Replacement Program Act is amended by changing
3Section 5 as follows:
4 (410 ILCS 43/5)
5 Sec. 5. Findings; intent; establishment of program.
6 (a) The General Assembly finds all of the following:
7 (1) Lead-based paint poisoning is a potentially
8 devastating, but preventable disease. It is one of the top
9 environmental threats to children's health in the United
10 States.
11 (2) The number of lead-poisoned children in Illinois is
12 among the highest in the nation, especially in older, more
13 affordable properties.
14 (3) Lead poisoning causes irreversible damage to the
15 development of a child's nervous system. Even at low and
16 moderate levels, lead poisoning causes learning
17 disabilities, problems with speech, shortened attention
18 span, hyperactivity, and behavioral problems. Recent
19 research links low levels of lead exposure to lower IQ
20 scores and to juvenile delinquency.
21 (4) Older housing is the number one risk factor for
22 childhood lead poisoning. Properties built before 1950 are
23 statistically much more likely to contain lead-based paint
24 hazards than buildings constructed more recently.
25 (5) While the use of lead-based paint in residential

HB3249 Enrolled- 1632 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 properties was banned in 1978, the State of Illinois ranks
2 seventh nationally in the number of housing units built
3 before 1978 and has the highest risk for lead hazards.
4 (6) There are nearly 1.4 million households with
5 lead-based paint hazards in Illinois.
6 (7) Most children are lead poisoned in their own homes
7 through exposure to lead dust from deteriorated lead paint
8 surfaces, like windows, and when lead paint deteriorates or
9 is disturbed through home renovation and repainting.
10 (8) Children at the highest risk for lead poisoning
11 live in low-income communities and in older housing
12 throughout the State of Illinois.
13 (9) The control of lead hazards significantly reduces
14 lead-poisoning rates.
15 (10) Windows are considered a higher lead exposure risk
16 more often than other components in a housing unit. Windows
17 are a major contributor of lead dust in the home, due to
18 both weathering conditions and friction effects on paint.
19 (11) The Comprehensive Lead Education Elimination,
20 Reduction, and Window Replacement (CLEAR-WIN) Program was
21 established under Public Act 95-492 as a pilot program to
22 reduce potential lead hazards by replacing windows in
23 low-income, pre-1978 homes. It also provided for
24 on-the-job training for community members in 2 pilot
25 communities in Chicago and Peoria County.
26 (12) The CLEAR-WIN Program provided for installation

HB3249 Enrolled- 1633 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 of 8,000 windows in 466 housing units between 2010 and
2 2014. Evaluations of the pilot program determined window
3 replacement was effective in lowering lead hazards and
4 produced energy, environmental, health, and market
5 benefits. Return on investment was almost $2 for every
6 dollar spent.
7 (13) There is an insufficient pool of licensed lead
8 abatement workers and contractors to address the problem in
9 some areas of the State.
10 (14) Through grants from the U.S. Department of Housing
11 and Urban Development and State dollars, some communities
12 in Illinois have begun to reduce lead poisoning of
13 children. While this is an ongoing effort, it only
14 addresses a small number of the low-income children
15 statewide in communities with high levels of lead paint in
16 the housing stock.
17 (b) It is the intent of the General Assembly to:
18 (1) address the problem of lead poisoning of children
19 by eliminating lead hazards in homes;
20 (2) provide training within communities to encourage
21 the use of lead paint safe work practices;
22 (3) create job opportunities for community members in
23 the lead abatement industry;
24 (4) support the efforts of small business and property
25 owners committed to maintaining lead-safe housing; and
26 (5) assist in the maintenance of affordable lead-safe

HB3249 Enrolled- 1634 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 housing stock.
2 (c) The General Assembly hereby establishes the
3Comprehensive Lead Education, Reduction, and Window
4Replacement Program to assist residential property owners
5through a Lead Direct Assistance Program to reduce lead hazards
6in residential properties.
7 (d) The Department of Public Health is authorized to:
8 (1) adopt rules necessary to implement this Act;
9 (2) adopt by reference the Illinois Administrative
10 Procedure Act for administration of this Act;
11 (3) assess administrative fines and penalties, as
12 established by the Department by rule, for persons
13 violating rules adopted by the Department under this Act;
14 (4) make referrals for prosecution to the Attorney
15 General or the State's Attorney for the county in which a
16 violation occurs, for a violation of this Act or the rules
17 adopted under this Act; and
18 (5) establish agreements under the Intergovernmental
19 Cooperation Act with the Department of Commerce and
20 Economic Opportunity, the Illinois Housing Development
21 Authority, or any other public agency as required, to
22 implement this Act.

6is amended by changing Sections 3.3 and 4 as follows:
7 (410 ILCS 625/3.3)
8 Sec. 3.3. Farmers' markets.
9 (a) The General Assembly finds as follows:
10 (1) Farmers' markets, as defined in subsection (b) of
11 this Section, provide not only a valuable marketplace for
12 farmers and food artisans to sell their products directly
13 to consumers, but also a place for consumers to access
14 fresh fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products.
15 (2) Farmers' markets serve as a stimulator for local
16 economies and for thousands of new businesses every year,
17 allowing farmers to sell directly to consumers and capture
18 the full retail value of their products. They have become
19 important community institutions and have figured in the
20 revitalization of downtown districts and rural
21 communities.
22 (3) Since 1999, the number of farmers' markets has
23 tripled and new ones are being established every year.
24 There is a lack of consistent regulation from one county to

HB3249 Enrolled- 1655 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the next, resulting in confusion and discrepancies between
2 counties regarding how products may be sold. There continue
3 continues to be inconsistencies, confusion, and lack of
4 awareness by consumers, farmers, markets, and local health
5 authorities of required guidelines affecting farmers'
6 markets from county to county.
7 (4) (Blank).
8 (5) (Blank).
9 (6) Recognizing that farmers' markets serve as small
10 business incubators and that farmers' profit margins
11 frequently are narrow, even in direct-to-consumer retail,
12 protecting farmers from costs of regulation that are
13 disproportionate to their profits will help ensure the
14 continued viability of these local farms and small
15 businesses.
16 (b) For the purposes of this Section:
17 "Department" means the Department of Public Health.
18 "Director" means the Director of Public Health.
19 "Farmers' market" means a common facility or area where the
20primary purpose is for farmers to gather to sell a variety of
21fresh fruits and vegetables and other locally produced farm and
22food products directly to consumers.
23 (c) (Blank).
24 (d) This Section does not intend and shall not be construed
25to limit the power of counties, municipalities, and other local
26government units to regulate farmers' markets for the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1656 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1protection of the public health, safety, morals, and welfare,
2including, but not limited to, licensing requirements and time,
3place, and manner restrictions, except as specified in this
4Act. This Section provides for a statewide scheme for the
5orderly and consistent interpretation of the Department's
6administrative rules pertaining to the safety of food and food
7products sold at farmers' markets.

17statewide farmers' market food safety guidelines:
18 (1) The Director, in accordance with this Section,
19 shall adopt administrative rules (as provided by the
20 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act) for foods found at
21 farmers' markets.
22 (2) The rules and regulations described in this Section
23 shall be consistently enforced by local health authorities

11 this Code, or a lien arising under Section 18a-501 of this
12 Code shall be deemed salvage or junk at the option of the
13 purchaser. The person acquiring such vehicle in such manner
14 shall promptly deliver or mail, within 20 days after the
15 acquisition of the vehicle, the certificate of purchase,
16 the proper application and fee, and, if the vehicle is an
17 abandoned mobile home under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act,

19 the vehicle was purchased or acquired at a public sale
20 under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act to the Secretary of

23 certificate or junking certificate issued by the Secretary
24 of State under this Section shall be free of any lien that
25 existed against the vehicle prior to the time the vehicle

5 theft, rust corrosion, or other means so that the cost of
6 repairing such damage, including labor, would be greater
7 than 33 1/3% of its fair market value without such damage.

4jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
5under their jurisdiction may, in their discretion, upon
6application and good cause being shown therefor, issue a
7special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a
8vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of
9vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified in this Code
10Act or otherwise not in conformity with this Code Act upon any
11highway under the jurisdiction of the party granting such
12permit and for the maintenance of which the party is
13responsible. Applications and permits other than those in
14written or printed form may only be accepted from and issued to
15the company or individual making the movement. Except for an
16application to move directly across a highway, it shall be the
17duty of the applicant to establish in the application that the
18load to be moved by such vehicle or combination cannot
19reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, the reasonableness
20of which shall be determined by the Secretary of the
21Department. For the purpose of over length movements, more than
22one object may be carried side by side as long as the height,
23width, and weight laws are not exceeded and the cause for the
24over length is not due to multiple objects. For the purpose of
25over height movements, more than one object may be carried as

HB3249 Enrolled- 1816 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1long as the cause for the over height is not due to multiple
2objects and the length, width, and weight laws are not
3exceeded. For the purpose of an over width movement, more than
4one object may be carried as long as the cause for the over
5width is not due to multiple objects and length, height, and
6weight laws are not exceeded. Except for transporting fluid

8issuance of excess size or weight permits for vehicles and
9loads that are divisible and that can be carried, when divided,
10within the existing size or weight maximums specified in this
11Chapter. Any excess size or weight permit issued in violation
12of the provisions of this Section shall be void at issue and
13any movement made thereunder shall not be authorized under the
14terms of the void permit. In any prosecution for a violation of
15this Chapter when the authorization of an excess size or weight
16permit is at issue, it is the burden of the defendant to
17establish that the permit was valid because the load to be
18moved could not reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, or
19was otherwise nondivisible.

21whether such permit is requested for a single trip or for

7for hire. No permits for the movement of a vehicle or load for
8hire shall be issued to any applicant who is required under the
9Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law to have a certificate,
10registration, or permit and does not have such certificate,
11registration, or permit.
12 (c) The Department or local authority when not inconsistent
13with traffic safety is authorized to issue or withhold such
14permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is issued at its
15discretion to prescribe the route or routes to be traveled, to
16limit the number of trips, to establish seasonal or other time
17limitations within which the vehicles described may be operated
18on the highways indicated, or otherwise to limit or prescribe
19conditions of operations of such vehicle or vehicles, when
20necessary to assure against undue damage to the road
21foundations, surfaces or structures, and may require such
22undertaking or other security as may be deemed necessary to
23compensate for any injury to any roadway or road structure. The
24Department shall maintain a daily record of each permit issued
25along with the fee and the stipulated dimensions, weights,
26conditions, and restrictions authorized and this record shall

HB3249 Enrolled- 1818 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1be presumed correct in any case of questions or dispute. The
2Department shall install an automatic device for recording
3applications received and permits issued by telephone. In
4making application by telephone, the Department and applicant
5waive all objections to the recording of the conversation.
6 (d) The Department shall, upon application in writing from
7any local authority, issue an annual permit authorizing the
8local authority to move oversize highway construction,
9transportation, utility, and maintenance equipment over roads
10under the jurisdiction of the Department. The permit shall be
11applicable only to equipment and vehicles owned by or
12registered in the name of the local authority, and no fee shall
13be charged for the issuance of such permits.
14 (e) As an exception to subsection (a) of this Section, the
15Department and local authorities, with respect to highways
16under their respective jurisdictions, in their discretion and
17upon application in writing, may issue a special permit for
18limited continuous operation, authorizing the applicant to
19move loads of agricultural commodities on a 2-axle single
20vehicle registered by the Secretary of State with axle loads
21not to exceed 35%, on a 3-axle or 4-axle vehicle registered by
22the Secretary of State with axle loads not to exceed 20%, and
23on a 5-axle vehicle registered by the Secretary of State not to
24exceed 10% above those provided in Section 15-111. The total
25gross weight of the vehicle, however, may not exceed the
26maximum gross weight of the registration class of the vehicle

HB3249 Enrolled- 1819 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1allowed under Section 3-815 or 3-818 of this Code.
2 As used in this Section, "agricultural commodities" means:
3 (1) cultivated plants or agricultural produce grown,
4 including, but not limited to, corn, soybeans, wheat, oats,
5 grain sorghum, canola, and rice;
6 (2) livestock, including, but not limited to, hogs,
7 equine, sheep, and poultry;
8 (3) ensilage; and
9 (4) fruits and vegetables.
10 Permits may be issued for a period not to exceed 40 days
11and moves may be made of a distance not to exceed 50 miles from
12a field, an on-farm grain storage facility, a warehouse as
13defined in the Grain Code, or a livestock management facility
14as defined in the Livestock Management Facilities Act over any
15highway except the National System of Interstate and Defense
16Highways. The operator of the vehicle, however, must abide by
17posted bridge and posted highway weight limits. All implements
18of husbandry operating under this Section between sunset and
19sunrise shall be equipped as prescribed in Section 12-205.1.
20 (e-1) A special permit shall be issued by the Department
21under this Section and shall be required from September 1
22through December 31 for a vehicle that exceeds the maximum axle
23weight and gross weight limits under Section 15-111 of this
24Code or exceeds the vehicle's registered gross weight, provided
25that the vehicle's axle weight and gross weight do not exceed
2610% above the maximum limits under Section 15-111 of this Code

HB3249 Enrolled- 1820 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1and does not exceed the vehicle's registered gross weight by
210%. All other restrictions that apply to permits issued under
3this Section shall apply during the declared time period and no
4fee shall be charged for the issuance of those permits. Permits
5issued by the Department under this subsection (e-1) are only
6valid on federal and State highways under the jurisdiction of
7the Department, except interstate highways. With respect to
8highways under the jurisdiction of local authorities, the local
9authorities may, at their discretion, waive special permit
10requirements, and set a divisible load weight limit not to
11exceed 10% above a vehicle's registered gross weight, provided
12that the vehicle's axle weight and gross weight do not exceed
1310% above the maximum limits specified in Section 15-111.
14Permits issued under this subsection (e-1) shall apply to all
15registered vehicles eligible to obtain permits under this
16Section, including vehicles used in private or for-hire
17movement of divisible load agricultural commodities during the
18declared time period.
19 (f) The form and content of the permit shall be determined
20by the Department with respect to highways under its
21jurisdiction and by local authorities with respect to highways
22under their jurisdiction. Every permit shall be in written form
23and carried in the vehicle or combination of vehicles to which
24it refers and shall be open to inspection by any police officer
25or authorized agent of any authority granting the permit and no
26person shall violate any of the terms or conditions of such

HB3249 Enrolled- 1821 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1special permit. Violation of the terms and conditions of the
2permit shall not be deemed a revocation of the permit; however,
3any vehicle and load found to be off the route prescribed in
4the permit shall be held to be operating without a permit. Any
5off-route off route vehicle and load shall be required to
6obtain a new permit or permits, as necessary, to authorize the
7movement back onto the original permit routing. No rule or
8regulation, nor anything herein, shall be construed to
9authorize any police officer, court, or authorized agent of any
10authority granting the permit to remove the permit from the
11possession of the permittee unless the permittee is charged
12with a fraudulent permit violation as provided in subsection
13(i). However, upon arrest for an offense of violation of
14permit, operating without a permit when the vehicle is off
15route, or any size or weight offense under this Chapter when
16the permittee plans to raise the issuance of the permit as a
17defense, the permittee, or his agent, must produce the permit
18at any court hearing concerning the alleged offense.
19 If the permit designates and includes a routing to a
20certified scale, the permittee, while en route enroute to the
21designated scale, shall be deemed in compliance with the weight
22provisions of the permit provided the axle or gross weights do
23not exceed any of the permitted limits by more than the
24following amounts:
25 Single axle 2000 pounds
26 Tandem axle 3000 pounds

HB3249 Enrolled- 1822 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Gross 5000 pounds
2 (g) The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to
3make available to interested persons a policy concerning
4reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of
5operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to
6those contained in this Section for the movement by special
7permit of vehicles, combinations, or loads which cannot
8reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, including
9manufactured and modular home sections and portions thereof.
10All rules, limitations and conditions or provisions adopted in
11the policy shall have due regard for the safety of the
12traveling public and the protection of the highway system and
13shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions
14of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. The requirements
15of the policy for flagmen and escort vehicles shall be the same
16for all moves of comparable size and weight. When escort
17vehicles are required, they shall meet the following
18requirements:
19 (1) All operators shall be 18 years of age or over and
20 properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
21 (2) Vehicles escorting oversized loads more than 12
22 feet 12-feet wide must be equipped with a rotating or
23 flashing amber light mounted on top as specified under
24 Section 12-215.
25 The Department shall establish reasonable rules and
26regulations regarding liability insurance or self insurance

HB3249 Enrolled- 1823 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1for vehicles with oversized loads promulgated under the
2Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Police vehicles may be
3required for escort under circumstances as required by rules
4and regulations of the Department.
5 (h) Violation of any rule, limitation or condition or
6provision of any permit issued in accordance with the
7provisions of this Section shall not render the entire permit
8null and void but the violator shall be deemed guilty of
9violation of permit and guilty of exceeding any size, weight,
10or load limitations in excess of those authorized by the
11permit. The prescribed route or routes on the permit are not
12mere rules, limitations, conditions, or provisions of the
13permit, but are also the sole extent of the authorization
14granted by the permit. If a vehicle and load are found to be
15off the route or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing
16movement, the vehicle and load are operating without a permit.
17Any off-route movement shall be subject to the size and weight
18maximums, under the applicable provisions of this Chapter, as
19determined by the type or class highway upon which the vehicle
20and load are being operated.
21 (i) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made under
22a fraudulent permit, the permit shall be void, and the person,
23firm, or corporation to whom such permit was granted, the
24driver of such vehicle in addition to the person who issued
25such permit and any accessory, shall be guilty of fraud and
26either one or all persons may be prosecuted for such violation.

2shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony and the Department shall
3not issue permits to the person, firm, or corporation convicted
4of such violation for a period of one year after the date of
5conviction. Penalties for violations of this Section shall be
6in addition to any penalties imposed for violation of other
7Sections of this Code.
8 (j) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made in
9violation of a permit issued in accordance with this Section,
10the person to whom such permit was granted, or the driver of
11such vehicle, is guilty of such violation and either, but not
12both, persons may be prosecuted for such violation as stated in
13this subsection (j). Any person, firm, or corporation convicted
14of such violation shall be guilty of a petty offense and shall
15be fined, for the first offense, not less than $50 nor more
16than $200 and, for the second offense by the same person, firm,
17or corporation within a period of one year, not less than $200
18nor more than $300 and, for the third offense by the same
19person, firm, or corporation within a period of one year after
20the date of the first offense, not less than $300 nor more than
21$500 and the Department may, in its discretion descretion, not
22issue permits to the person, firm, or corporation convicted of
23a third offense during a period of one year after the date of
24conviction or supervision for such third offense. If any
25violation is the cause or contributing cause in a motor vehicle
26accident causing damage to property, injury, or death to a

HB3249 Enrolled- 1825 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1person, the Department may, in its discretion, not issue a
2permit to the person, firm, or corporation for a period of one
3year after the date of conviction or supervision for the
4offense.
5 (k) Whenever any vehicle is operated on local roads under
6permits for excess width or length issued by local authorities,
7such vehicle may be moved upon a State highway for a distance
8not to exceed one-half mile without a permit for the purpose of
9crossing the State highway.
10 (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
11the Department, with respect to highways under its
12jurisdiction, and local authorities, with respect to highways
13under their jurisdiction, may at their discretion authorize the
14movement of a vehicle in violation of any size or weight
15requirement, or both, that would not ordinarily be eligible for
16a permit, when there is a showing of extreme necessity that the
17vehicle and load should be moved without unnecessary delay.
18 For the purpose of this subsection, showing of extreme
19necessity shall be limited to the following: shipments of
20livestock, hazardous materials, liquid concrete being hauled
21in a mobile cement mixer, or hot asphalt.
22 (m) Penalties for violations of this Section shall be in
23addition to any penalties imposed for violating any other
24Section of this Code.
25 (n) The Department with respect to highways under its
26jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways

HB3249 Enrolled- 1826 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1under their jurisdiction, in their discretion and upon
2application in writing, may issue a special permit for
3continuous limited operation, authorizing the applicant to
4operate a tow truck that exceeds the weight limits provided for
5in subsection (a) of Section 15-111, provided:
6 (1) no rear single axle of the tow truck exceeds 26,000
7 pounds;

14 imposed by this Chapter 15, or the weight limits imposed
15 under a permit issued by the Department prior to hookup;
16 (4) the tow truck prior to hookup does not exceed the
17 weight restrictions imposed by this Chapter 15;
18 (5) during the tow operation the tow truck does not
19 violate any weight restriction sign;
20 (6) the tow truck is equipped with flashing, rotating,
21 or oscillating amber lights, visible for at least 500 feet
22 in all directions;
23 (7) the tow truck is specifically designed and licensed
24 as a tow truck;
25 (8) the tow truck has a gross vehicle weight rating of

13 (o) (Blank).
14 (p) In determining whether a load may be reasonably
15dismantled or disassembled for the purpose of subsection (a),
16the Department shall consider whether there is a significant
17negative impact on the condition of the pavement and structures
18along the proposed route, whether the load or vehicle as
19proposed causes a safety hazard to the traveling public,
20whether dismantling or disassembling the load promotes or
21stifles economic development, and whether the proposed route
22travels less than 5 miles. A load is not required to be
23dismantled or disassembled for the purposes of subsection (a)
24if the Secretary of the Department determines there will be no
25significant negative impact to pavement or structures along the
26proposed route, the proposed load or vehicle causes no safety

HB3249 Enrolled- 1828 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1hazard to the traveling public, dismantling or disassembling
2the load does not promote economic development, and the
3proposed route travels less than 5 miles. The Department may
4promulgate rules for the purpose of establishing the
5divisibility of a load pursuant to subsection (a). Any load
6determined by the Secretary to be nondivisible shall otherwise
7comply with the existing size or weight maximums specified in
8this Chapter.

19of furtherance of the State transportation policy declared in
20Section 18c-1103 of this Chapter, the relief provided in
21subsection (8) should apply with respect to the making and
22carrying out of such agreement; otherwise the application shall

1 (3) Railroad Crossings. No public road, highway, or street
2shall hereafter be constructed across the track of any rail
3carrier at grade, nor shall the track of any rail carrier be
4constructed across a public road, highway or street at grade,
5without having first secured the permission of the Commission;
6provided, that this Section shall not apply to the replacement
7of lawfully existing roads, highways, and tracks. No public
8pedestrian bridge or subway shall be constructed across the

22or more inhabitants, to vacate and close that part of the
23highway on such crossing altered or abolished and cause
24barricades to be erected across such highway in such manner as
25to prevent the use of such crossing as a highway, when, in the
26opinion of the Commission, the public convenience served by the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1835 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1crossing in question is not such as to justify the further
2retention thereof; or to require a separation of grades, at
3railroad-highway grade crossings; or to require a separation of
4grades at any proposed crossing where a proposed public highway
5may cross the tracks of any rail carrier or carriers; and to
6prescribe, after a hearing of the parties, the terms upon which
7such separations shall be made and the proportion in which the
8expense of the alteration or abolition of such crossings or the
9separation of such grades, having regard to the benefits, if
10any, accruing to the rail carrier or any party in interest,
11shall be divided between the rail carrier or carriers affected,
12or between such carrier or carriers and the State, county,
13municipality or other public authority in interest. However, a
14public hearing by the Commission to abolish a crossing shall
15not be required when the public highway authority in interest
16vacates the highway. In such instance the rail carrier,
17following notification to the Commission and the highway
18authority, shall remove any grade crossing warning devices and
19the grade crossing surface.
20 The Commission shall also have power by its order to
21require the reconstruction, minor alteration, minor
22relocation, or improvement of any crossing (including the
23necessary highway approaches thereto) of any railroad across
24any highway or public road, pedestrian bridge, or pedestrian
25subway, whether such crossing be at grade or by overhead
26structure or by subway, whenever the Commission finds after a

HB3249 Enrolled- 1836 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1hearing or without a hearing as otherwise provided in this
2paragraph that such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or
3improvement is necessary to preserve or promote the safety or
4convenience of the public or of the employees or passengers of
5such rail carrier or carriers. By its original order or
6supplemental orders in such case, the Commission may direct
7such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or improvement to
8be made in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as
9may be reasonable and necessary and may apportion the cost of
10such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or improvement
11and the subsequent maintenance thereof, having regard to the
12benefits, if any, accruing to the railroad or any party in
13interest, between the rail carrier or carriers and public
14utilities affected, or between such carrier or carriers and
15public utilities and the State, county, municipality or other
16public authority in interest. The cost to be so apportioned
17shall include the cost of changes or alterations in the
18equipment of public utilities affected as well as the cost of
19the relocation, diversion or establishment of any public
20highway, made necessary by such reconstruction, alteration,
21relocation, or improvement of said crossing. A hearing shall
22not be required in those instances when the Commission enters
23an order confirming a written stipulation in which the
24Commission, the public highway authority or other public
25authority in interest, the rail carrier or carriers affected,
26and in instances involving the use of the Grade Crossing

HB3249 Enrolled- 1837 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Protection Fund, the Illinois Department of Transportation,
2agree on the reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or
3improvement and the subsequent maintenance thereof and the
4division of costs of such changes of any grade crossing
5(including the necessary highway approaches thereto) of any
6railroad across any highway, pedestrian bridge, or pedestrian
7subway.
8 Every rail carrier operating in the State of Illinois shall
9construct and maintain every highway crossing over its tracks
10within the State so that the roadway at the intersection shall
11be as flush with the rails as superelevated curves will allow,
12and, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission, shall
13construct and maintain the approaches thereto at a grade of not
14more than 5% within the right of way for a distance of not less
15the 6 feet on each side of the centerline of such tracks;
16provided, that the grades at the approaches may be maintained
17in excess of 5% only when authorized by the Commission.
18 Every rail carrier operating within this State shall remove
19from its right of way at all railroad-highway grade crossings
20within the State, such brush, shrubbery, and trees as is
21reasonably practical for a distance of not less than 500 feet
22in either direction from each grade crossing. The Commission
23shall have power, upon its own motion, or upon complaint, and
24after having made proper investigation, to require the
25installation of adequate and appropriate luminous reflective
26warning signs, luminous flashing signals, crossing gates

HB3249 Enrolled- 1838 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1illuminated at night, or other protective devices in order to
2promote and safeguard the health and safety of the public.
3Luminous flashing signal or crossing gate devices installed at
4grade crossings, which have been approved by the Commission,
5shall be deemed adequate and appropriate. The Commission shall
6have authority to determine the number, type, and location of
7such signs, signals, gates, or other protective devices which,
8however, shall conform as near as may be with generally
9recognized national standards, and the Commission shall have
10authority to prescribe the division of the cost of the
11installation and subsequent maintenance of such signs,
12signals, gates, or other protective devices between the rail
13carrier or carriers, the public highway authority or other
14public authority in interest, and in instances involving the
15use of the Grade Crossing Protection Fund, the Illinois
16Department of Transportation. Except where train crews provide
17flagging of the crossing to road users, yield signs shall be
18installed at all highway intersections with every grade
19crossing in this State that is not equipped with automatic
20warning devices, such as luminous flashing signals or crossing
21gate devices. A stop sign may be used in lieu of the yield sign
22when an engineering study conducted in cooperation with the
23highway authority and the Illinois Department of
24Transportation has determined that a stop sign is warranted. If
25the Commission has ordered the installation of luminous
26flashing signal or crossing gate devices at a grade crossing

HB3249 Enrolled- 1839 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1not equipped with active warning devices, the Commission shall
2order the installation of temporary stop signs at the highway
3intersection with the grade crossing unless an engineering
4study has determined that a stop sign is not appropriate. If a
5stop sign is not appropriate, the Commission may order the
6installation of other appropriate supplemental signing as
7determined by an engineering study. The temporary signs shall
8remain in place until the luminous flashing signal or crossing
9gate devices have been installed. The rail carrier is
10responsible for the installation and subsequent maintenance of
11any required signs. The permanent signs shall be in place by
12July 1, 2011.
13 No railroad may change or modify the warning device system
14at a railroad-highway grade crossing, including warning
15systems interconnected with highway traffic control signals,
16without having first received the approval of the Commission.
17The Commission shall have the further power, upon application,
18upon its own motion, or upon complaint and after having made
19proper investigation, to require the interconnection of grade
20crossing warning devices with traffic control signals at
21highway intersections located at or near railroad crossings
22within the distances described by the State Manual on Uniform
23Traffic Control Devices adopted pursuant to Section 11-301 of
24this Code. In addition, State and local authorities may not
25install, remove, modernize, or otherwise modify traffic
26control signals at a highway intersection that is

HB3249 Enrolled- 1840 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1interconnected or proposed to be interconnected with grade
2crossing warning devices when the change affects the number,
3type, or location of traffic control devices on the track
4approach leg or legs of the intersection or the timing of the
5railroad preemption sequence of operation until the Commission
6has approved the installation, removal, modernization, or
7modification. Commission approval shall be limited to
8consideration of issues directly affecting the public safety at
9the railroad-highway grade crossing. The electrical circuit
10devices, alternate warning devices, and preemption sequences
11shall conform as nearly as possible, considering the particular
12characteristics of the crossing and intersection area, to the
13State manual adopted by the Illinois Department of
14Transportation pursuant to Section 11-301 of this Code and such
15federal standards as are made applicable by subsection (2) of
16this Section. In order to carry out this authority, the
17Commission shall have the authority to determine the number,
18type, and location of traffic control devices on the track
19approach leg or legs of the intersection and the timing of the
20railroad preemption sequence of operation. The Commission
21shall prescribe the division of costs for installation and
22maintenance of all devices required by this paragraph between
23the railroad or railroads and the highway authority in interest
24and in instances involving the use of the Grade Crossing
25Protection Fund or a State highway, the Illinois Department of
26Transportation.

1 Any person who unlawfully or maliciously removes, throws
2down, damages or defaces any sign, signal, gate, or other
3protective device, located at or near any public grade
4crossing, shall be guilty of a petty offense and fined not less
5than $50 nor more than $200 for each offense. In addition to
6fines levied under the provisions of this Section a person
7adjudged guilty hereunder may also be directed to make
8restitution for the costs of repair or replacement, or both,
9necessitated by his misconduct.
10 It is the public policy of the State of Illinois to enhance
11public safety by establishing safe grade crossings. In order to
12implement this policy, the Illinois Commerce Commission is
13directed to conduct public hearings and to adopt specific
14criteria by July 1, 1994, that shall be adhered to by the
15Illinois Commerce Commission in determining if a grade crossing
16should be opened or abolished. The following factors shall be
17considered by the Illinois Commerce Commission in developing
18the specific criteria for opening and abolishing grade
19crossings:
20 (a) timetable speed of passenger trains;
21 (b) distance to an alternate crossing;
22 (c) accident history for the last 5 years;
23 (d) number of vehicular traffic and posted speed
24 limits;

2 crossing;
3 (g) alignments of the roadway and railroad, and the
4 angle of intersection of those alignments;
5 (h) use of the grade crossing by trucks carrying
6 hazardous materials, vehicles carrying passengers for
7 hire, and school buses; and
8 (i) use of the grade crossing by emergency vehicles.
9 The Illinois Commerce Commission, upon petition to open or
10abolish a grade crossing, shall enter an order opening or
11abolishing the crossing if it meets the specific criteria
12adopted by the Commission.
13 Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (3), in no
14instance shall a grade crossing be permanently closed without
15public hearing first being held and notice of such hearing
16being published in an area newspaper of local general
17circulation.
18 (4) Freight Trains; Radio Trains - Radio Communications.
19The Commission shall after hearing and order require that every
20main line railroad freight train operating on main tracks
21outside of yard limits within this State shall be equipped with

23hearing may grant exemptions from the requirements of this
24Section as to secondary and branch lines.
25 (5) Railroad Bridges and Trestles; Walkway Trestles -
26Walkway and Handrail. In cases in which the Commission finds

HB3249 Enrolled- 1843 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1the same to be practical and necessary for safety of railroad
2employees, bridges and trestles, over and upon which railroad
3trains are operated, shall include as a part thereof, a safe
4and suitable walkway and handrail on one side only of such
5bridge or trestle, and such handrail shall be located at the
6outer edge of the walkway and shall provide a clearance of not
7less than 8 feet, 6 inches, from the center line of the nearest
8track, measured at right angles thereto.
9 (6) Packages Containing Articles for First Aid to Injured
10on Trains.
11 (a) All rail carriers shall provide a first aid kit
12 that contains, at a minimum, those articles prescribed by
13 the Commission, on each train or engine, for first aid to
14 persons who may be injured in the course of the operation
15 of such trains.
16 (b) A vehicle, excluding a taxi cab used in an
17 emergency situation, operated by a contract carrier
18 transporting railroad employees in the course of their
19 employment shall be equipped with a readily available first
20 aid kit that contains, as a minimum, the same articles that
21 are required on each train or engine.
22 (7) Abandoned Bridges, Crossings, and Other Rail Plant. The
23Commission shall have authority, after notice and hearing, to

7or other public authority in interest.
8 (8) Railroad-Highway Bridge Clearance. A vertical
9clearance of not less than 23 feet above the top of rail shall
10be provided for all new or reconstructed highway bridges
11constructed over a railroad track. The Commission may permit a
12lesser clearance if it determines that the 23-foot 23 foot
13clearance standard cannot be justified based on engineering,
14operational, and economic conditions.
15 (9) Right of Access To Railroad Property.
16 (a) A community antenna television company franchised
17 by a municipality or county pursuant to the Illinois
18 Municipal Code or the Counties Code, respectively, shall
19 not enter upon any real estate or rights-of-way in the

12 (1) $3,000 for a Class X felony;
13 (2) $2,000 for a Class 1 felony;
14 (3) $1,000 for a Class 2 felony;
15 (4) $500 for a Class 3 or Class 4 felony.
16 (b) The assessment under this Section is in addition to and
17not in lieu of any fines, restitution, costs, forfeitures, or
18other assessments authorized or required by law.
19 (c) As a condition of the assessment, the court may require
20that payment be made in specified installments or within a
21specified period of time. If the assessment is not paid within
22the period of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision
23to which the defendant was originally sentenced, the court may
24extend the period of probation, conditional discharge, or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1891 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1supervision pursuant to Section 5-6-2 or 5-6-3.1 of the Unified
2Code of Corrections, as applicable, until the assessment is
3paid or until successful completion of public or community
4service set forth in subsection (e) or the successful
5completion of the substance abuse intervention or treatment
6program set forth in subsection (f). If a term of probation,
7conditional discharge, or supervision is not imposed, the
8assessment shall be payable upon judgment or as directed by the
9court.
10 (d) If an assessment for a violation of this Act is imposed
11on an organization, it is the duty of each individual
12authorized to make disbursements of the assets of the
13organization to pay the assessment from assets of the
14organization.
15 (e) A defendant who has been ordered to pay an assessment
16may petition the court to convert all or part of the assessment
17into court-approved public or community service. One hour of
18public or community service shall be equivalent to $4 of
19assessment. The performance of this public or community service
20shall be a condition of the probation, conditional discharge,
21or supervision and shall be in addition to the performance of
22any other period of public or community service ordered by the
23court or required by law.
24 (f) The court may suspend the collection of the assessment
25imposed under this Section if the defendant agrees to enter a
26substance abuse intervention or treatment program approved by

HB3249 Enrolled- 1892 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1the court and the defendant agrees to pay for all or some
2portion of the costs associated with the intervention or
3treatment program. In this case, the collection of the
4assessment imposed under this Section shall be suspended during
5the defendant's participation in the approved intervention or
6treatment program. Upon successful completion of the program,
7the defendant may apply to the court to reduce the assessment
8imposed under this Section by any amount actually paid by the
9defendant for his or her participation in the program. The
10court shall not reduce the penalty under this subsection unless
11the defendant establishes to the satisfaction of the court that
12he or she has successfully completed the intervention or
13treatment program. If the defendant's participation is for any
14reason terminated before his or her successful completion of
15the intervention or treatment program, collection of the entire
16assessment imposed under this Section shall be enforced.
17Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect or suspend
18any other fines, restitution costs, forfeitures, or
19assessments imposed under this or any other Act.
20 (g) The court shall not impose more than one assessment per
21complaint, indictment, or information. If the person is
22convicted of more than one offense in a complaint, indictment,
23or information, the assessment shall be based on the highest
24class offense for which the person is convicted.
25 (h) In counties with a population under 3,000,000, all
26moneys collected under this Section shall be forwarded by the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1893 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1clerk of the circuit court to the State Treasurer for deposit
2in the Drug Treatment Fund. The Department of Human Services
3may make grants to persons licensed under Section 15-10 of the
4Substance Use Disorder Act or to municipalities or counties
5from funds appropriated to the Department from the Drug
6Treatment Fund for the treatment of pregnant women who are
7addicted to alcohol, cannabis or controlled substances and for
8the needed care of minor, unemancipated children of women
9undergoing residential drug treatment. If the Department of
10Human Services grants funds to a municipality or a county that
11the Department determines is not experiencing a problem with
12pregnant women addicted to alcohol, cannabis or controlled
13substances, or with care for minor, unemancipated children of
14women undergoing residential drug treatment, or intervention,
15the funds shall be used for the treatment of any person
16addicted to alcohol, cannabis, or controlled substances. The
17Department may adopt such rules as it deems appropriate for the
18administration of such grants.
19 (i) In counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more, all
20moneys collected under this Section shall be forwarded to the
21County Treasurer for deposit into the County Health Fund. The
22County Treasurer shall, no later than the 15th day of each
23month, forward to the State Treasurer 30 percent of all moneys
24collected under this Act and received into the County Health
25Fund since the prior remittance to the State Treasurer. Funds
26retained by the County shall be used for community-based

1treatment of pregnant women who are addicted to alcohol,
2cannabis, or controlled substances or for the needed care of
3minor, unemancipated children of these women. Funds forwarded
4to the State Treasurer shall be deposited into the State Drug
5Treatment Fund maintained by the State Treasurer from which the
6Department of Human Services may make grants to persons
7licensed under Section 15-10 of the Alcoholism and Other Drug
8Abuse and Dependency Act or to municipalities or counties from
9funds appropriated to the Department from the Drug Treatment
10Fund, provided that the moneys collected from each county be
11returned proportionately to the counties through grants to
12licensees located within the county from which the assessment
13was received and moneys in the State Drug Treatment Fund shall
14not supplant other local, State or federal funds. If the
15Department of Human Services grants funds to a municipality or
16county that the Department determines is not experiencing a
17problem with pregnant women addicted to alcohol, cannabis or
18controlled substances, or with care for minor, unemancipated
19children or women undergoing residential drug treatment, the
20funds shall be used for the treatment of any person addicted to
21alcohol, cannabis or controlled substances. The Department may
22adopt such rules as it deems appropriate for the administration
23of such grants.

8 (a) (Blank).
9 (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
10subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
11shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
12available to petitioner.
13 (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
14 harassment, interference with personal liberty,
15 intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful
16 deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
17 occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
18 prohibited.
19 (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
20 Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
21 residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
22 including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
23 has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
24 possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
25 not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be

HB3249 Enrolled- 1901 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
2 Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
3 Marriage Act.
4 (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
5 occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
6 or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
7 spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
8 party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
9 person or entity other than the opposing party that
10 authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
11 violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
12 (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
13 (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
14 respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
15 residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
16 hardships to respondent and any minor child or
17 dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
18 entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
19 petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
20 petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
21 the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
22 residence or household) or from loss of possession of
23 the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
24 avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
25 of hardships, the court shall also take into account
26 the accessibility of the residence or household.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1902 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
2 have a right to occupancy.
3 The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
4 possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
5 rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
6 that the hardships to respondent substantially
7 outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
8 child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
9 court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
10 motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
11 accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
12 of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
13 household.
14 (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
15 respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
16 protected by the domestic violence order of protection, or
17 prohibit respondent from entering or remaining present at
18 petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
19 specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
20 both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
21 Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
22 stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
23 right to enter the premises.
24 (A) If a domestic violence order of protection
25 grants petitioner exclusive possession of the
26 residence, prohibits respondent from entering the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1903 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
2 petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
3 may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
4 items of clothing and personal adornment used
5 exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
6 items as the court directs. The right to access shall
7 be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
8 and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third party
9 or law enforcement officer.
10 (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
11 the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
12 middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
13 domestic violence order of protection and providing
14 relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
15 continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
16 the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
17 the petitioner and respondent under federal and State
18 law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent
19 to another school, a change of placement or a change of
20 program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
21 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
22 transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
23 other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
24 that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
25 non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
26 by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a

HB3249 Enrolled- 1904 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 change of placement or change of program, as determined
2 by the school district or private or non-public school,
3 or place restrictions on the respondent's movements
4 within the school attended by the petitioner. The
5 respondent bears the burden of proving by a
6 preponderance of the evidence that a transfer, change
7 of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
8 not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
9 production with respect to the expense, difficulty,
10 and educational disruption that would be caused by a
11 transfer of the respondent to another school. A
12 transfer, change of placement, or change of program is
13 not unavailable to the respondent solely on the ground
14 that the respondent does not agree with the school
15 district's or private or non-public school's transfer,
16 change of placement, or change of program or solely on
17 the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
18 consent or otherwise does not take an action required
19 to effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or
20 change of program. When a court orders a respondent to
21 stay away from the public, private, or non-public
22 school attended by the petitioner and the respondent
23 requests a transfer to another attendance center
24 within the respondent's school district or private or
25 non-public school, the school district or private or
26 non-public school shall have sole discretion to

HB3249 Enrolled- 1905 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 determine the attendance center to which the
2 respondent is transferred. If the court order results
3 in a transfer of the minor respondent to another
4 attendance center, a change in the respondent's
5 placement, or a change of the respondent's program, the
6 parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
7 respondent is responsible for transportation and other
8 costs associated with the transfer or change.
9 (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
10 legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
11 actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
12 ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
13 the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
14 another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
15 custodian of the respondent is responsible for
16 transportation and other costs associated with the
17 change of school by the respondent.
18 (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
19 undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
20 worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
21 family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
22 mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
23 services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
24 abusers, or any other guidance service the court deems
25 appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any
26 intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois

HB3249 Enrolled- 1906 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
2 abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
3 all recommended treatment.
4 (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
5 order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
6 unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
7 minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
8 the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
9 or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
10 care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
11 order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
12 a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
13 in loco parentis.
14 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
15 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
16 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
17 respondent would not be in the minor child's best interest.
18 (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
19 and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
20 temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
21 petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois
22 Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the Illinois
23 Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
24 Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
25 If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
26 Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall

HB3249 Enrolled- 1907 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
2 significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
3 would not be in the child's best interest.
4 (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
5 any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
6 physical care or temporary significant decision-making
7 responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
8 shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
9 minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
10 is likely to do any of the following:
11 (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
12 parenting time;
13 (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
14 abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
15 household members;
16 (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
17 child; or
18 (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
19 best interests of the minor child.
20 The court shall not be limited by the standards set
21 forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
22 Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
23 time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
24 parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
25 or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
26 time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting

HB3249 Enrolled- 1908 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
2 child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
3 respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
4 constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
5 petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
6 a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect any
7 member of petitioner's family or household from future
8 abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
9 petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
10 parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
11 submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
12 alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
13 be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
14 an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
15 acknowledging accountability to the court.
16 (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
17 respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
18 concealing the child within the State.
19 (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
20 court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
21 neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
22 child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
23 permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
24 child or the respondent.
25 (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
26 exclusive possession of personal property and, if

HB3249 Enrolled- 1909 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
2 promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
3 (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
4 property; or
5 (ii) the petitioner and respondent own the
6 property jointly; sharing it would risk abuse of
7 petitioner by respondent or is impracticable; and the
8 balance of hardships favors temporary possession by
9 petitioner.
10 If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property

13 (i) The account holder named in the order has
14 terminated the account.
15 (ii) A difference in network technology would
16 prevent or impair the functionality of a device on

21 (iv) Another technological or operational
22 issue would prevent or impair the use of the
23 telephone number if the transfer occurs.
24 (C) The petitioner assumes all financial

HB3249 Enrolled- 1918 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 provided and displayed.

7 (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern, and
8 consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
9 petitioner or any family or household member,
10 including the concealment of his or her location in

12 likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
13 any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
14 household; and
15 (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
16 or neglected or improperly relocated from the
17 jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State,
18 or improperly separated from the child's primary
19 caretaker.
20 (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
21 parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
22 court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
23 limited to, the following:
24 (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
25 adequacy, location, and other characteristics of
26 alternate housing for each party and any minor child or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1919 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 dependent adult in the party's care;
2 (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
3 (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
4 and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
5 care, to family, school, church, and community.
6 (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
7 (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
8 findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
9 a minimum set forth the following:
10 (i) That the court has considered the applicable
11 relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
12 this subsection (c).
13 (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
14 unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
15 or continued abuse.
16 (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
17 requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
18 other alleged abused persons.
19 (4) (Blank).
20 (5) Never married parties. No rights or
21 responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
22 attach to a putative father until a father and child
23 relationship has been established under the Illinois
24 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
25 the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
26 Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate

7 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
8 Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both parties appeared
9 in open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging
10 under oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a
11 father and child relationship. Absent such an
12 adjudication, no putative father shall be granted
13 temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
14 including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
15 care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
16 of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
17 (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
18the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
19remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
20subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
21balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
22include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
23in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
24hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
25shall be an official record or in writing.
26 (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be

HB3249 Enrolled- 1921 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
2 (1) respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
3 that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
4 force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
5 (2) respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
6 (3) petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
7 another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
8 force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
9 of 2012;
10 (4) petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
11 of another;
12 (5) petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
13 further abuse by respondent;
14 (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or household
15 to avoid further abuse by respondent; or
16 (7) conduct by any family or household member excused
17 the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
18 have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
19 or household members.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1929 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 right. If the prosecuting attorney decides not to
2 assert or enforce a victim's right, the prosecuting
3 attorney shall notify the victim or the victim's
4 attorney in sufficient time to allow the victim or the
5 victim's attorney to assert the right or to seek
6 enforcement of a right.
7 (B) If the prosecuting attorney elects not to
8 assert a victim's right or to seek enforcement of a
9 right, the victim or the victim's attorney may assert
10 the victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
11 filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
12 requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
13 case outside the presence of the jury.
14 (C) If the prosecuting attorney asserts a victim's
15 right or seeks enforcement of a right, and the court
16 denies the assertion of the right or denies the request
17 for enforcement of a right, the victim or victim's
18 attorney may file a motion to assert the victim's right
19 or to request enforcement of the right within 10 days
20 of the court's ruling. The motion need not demonstrate
21 the grounds for a motion for reconsideration. The court
22 shall rule on the merits of the motion.
23 (D) The court shall take up and decide any motion
24 or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a
25 victim's right without delay, unless a specific time
26 period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons

HB3249 Enrolled- 1930 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 for any decision denying the motion or request shall be
2 clearly stated on the record.
3 (5) Violation of rights and remedies.
4 (A) If the court determines that a victim's right
5 has been violated, the court shall determine the
6 appropriate remedy for the violation of the victim's
7 right by hearing from the victim and the parties,
8 considering all factors relevant to the issue, and then
9 awarding appropriate relief to the victim.
10 (A-5) Consideration of an issue of a substantive
11 nature or an issue that implicates the constitutional
12 or statutory right of a victim at a court proceeding
13 labeled as a status hearing shall constitute a per se
14 violation of a victim's right.
15 (B) The appropriate remedy shall include only
16 actions necessary to provide the victim the right to
17 which the victim was entitled and may include reopening
18 previously held proceedings; however, in no event
19 shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall
20 be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate remedy
21 without violating any constitutional right of the
22 defendant. In no event shall the appropriate remedy be
23 a new trial, damages, or costs.
24 (6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right
25 to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise
26 the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1931 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written
2 motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days
3 prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with
4 specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a
5 constitutional right of the party, and must contain an
6 offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
7 30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
8 forth on the record the facts that support its finding that
9 the victim's testimony will be materially affected if the
10 victim hears other testimony at trial.
11 (8) Right to have advocate and support person present
12 at court proceedings.
13 (A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a
14 witness at trial must seek permission of the court
15 before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a
16 written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets
17 forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's
18 testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding (i)
19 the content of the anticipated testimony of the
20 advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
21 materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court
22 shall consider the motion and make findings within 30
23 days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by
24 a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the
25 anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute
26 privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains

HB3249 Enrolled- 1932 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is
2 not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
3 court shall issue a subpoena requiring the advocate to
4 appear to testify at an in camera hearing. The
5 prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days
6 to seek appellate review before the advocate is
7 required to testify at an ex parte in camera
8 proceeding.
9 The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the
10 advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at
11 the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after conducting
12 the ex parte in camera hearing, the court determines
13 that due process requires any testimony regarding
14 confidential or privileged information or
15 communications, the court shall provide to the
16 prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's
17 attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the
18 advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the
19 victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days
20 to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be
21 issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The
22 presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte in
23 camera proceeding does not make the substance of the
24 advocate's testimony that the court has ruled
25 inadmissible subject to discovery.
26 (B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a

HB3249 Enrolled- 1933 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 support person present at the court proceedings, the
2 victim shall provide the name of the person the victim
3 has chosen to be the victim's support person to the
4 prosecuting attorney, within 60 days of trial. The
5 prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the
6 defendant. If the defendant intends to call the support
7 person as a witness at trial, the defendant must seek
8 permission of the court before a subpoena is issued.
9 The defendant must file a written motion at least 45
10 days prior to trial that sets forth specifically the
11 issues on which the support person will testify and an
12 offer of proof regarding: (i) the content of the
13 anticipated testimony of the support person; and (ii)
14 the relevance, admissibility, and materiality of the
15 anticipated testimony.
16 If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the
17 support person as a witness during the State's
18 case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform
19 the court of this intent in the response to the
20 defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a
21 different person to be the victim's support person. The
22 court may allow the defendant to inquire about matters
23 outside the scope of the direct examination during
24 cross-examination cross examination. If the court
25 allows the defendant to do so, the support person shall
26 be allowed to remain in the courtroom after the support

HB3249 Enrolled- 1934 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 person has testified. A defendant who fails to question
2 the support person about matters outside the scope of
3 direct examination during the State's case-in-chief
4 waives the right to challenge the presence of the
5 support person on appeal. The court shall allow the
6 support person to testify if called as a witness in the
7 defendant's case-in-chief or the State's rebuttal.
8 If the court does not allow the defendant to
9 inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct
10 examination, the support person shall be allowed to
11 remain in the courtroom after the support person has
12 been called by the defendant or the defendant has
13 rested. The court shall allow the support person to
14 testify in the State's rebuttal.
15 If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to call
16 the support person in the State's case-in-chief, the
17 court shall verify with the support person whether the
18 support person, if called as a witness, would testify
19 as set forth in the offer of proof. If the court finds
20 that the support person would testify as set forth in
21 the offer of proof, the court shall rule on the
22 relevance, materiality, and admissibility of the
23 anticipated testimony. If the court rules the
24 anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall
25 issue the subpoena. The support person may remain in
26 the courtroom after the support person testifies and

HB3249 Enrolled- 1935 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 shall be allowed to testify in rebuttal.
2 If the court excludes the victim's support person
3 during the State's case-in-chief, the victim shall be
4 allowed to choose another support person to be present
5 in court.
6 If the victim fails to designate a support person
7 within 60 days of trial and the defendant has
8 subpoenaed the support person to testify at trial, the
9 court may exclude the support person from the trial
10 until the support person testifies. If the court
11 excludes the support person the victim may choose
12 another person as a support person.
13 (9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of
14 confidential or privileged information or records. A
15 defendant who seeks to subpoena records of or concerning
16 the victim that are confidential or privileged by law must
17 seek permission of the court before the subpoena is issued.
18 The defendant must file a written motion and an offer of
19 proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
20 materiality of the records. If the court finds by a
21 preponderance of the evidence that: (A) the records are not
22 protected by an absolute privilege and (B) the records
23 contain relevant, admissible, and material evidence that
24 is not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
25 court shall issue a subpoena requiring a sealed copy of the
26 records be delivered to the court to be reviewed in camera.

HB3249 Enrolled- 1936 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 If, after conducting an in camera review of the records,
2 the court determines that due process requires disclosure
3 of any portion of the records, the court shall provide
4 copies of what it intends to disclose to the prosecuting
5 attorney and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the
6 victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review before
7 the records are disclosed to the defendant. The disclosure
8 of copies of any portion of the records to the prosecuting
9 attorney does not make the records subject to discovery.
10 (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
11 victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
12 right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
13 prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of the
14 time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and that
15 the victim had a right to be heard at the court proceeding.
16 If the court determines that timely notice was not given or
17 that the victim was not adequately informed of the nature
18 of the court proceeding, the court shall not rule on any
19 substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a sentence and
20 shall continue the hearing for the time necessary to notify
21 the victim of the time, place and nature of the court
22 proceeding. The time between court proceedings shall not be
23 attributable to the State under Section 103-5 of the Code
24 of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
25 (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
26 has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to

HB3249 Enrolled- 1937 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
2 from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling on
3 a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding, the
4 court shall inquire into the circumstances for the request
5 for the delay and, if the victim has provided written
6 notice of the assertion of the right to a timely
7 disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
8 If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
9 court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has not
10 conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
11 prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
12 confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
13 to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
14 victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
15 prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
16 confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
17 the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
18 continuance, the number and length of continuances that
19 have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures
20 to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over
21 the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
22 record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
23 that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.
24 (12) Right to Restitution.
25 (A) If the victim has asserted the right to
26 restitution and the amount of restitution is known at

HB3249 Enrolled- 1938 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
2 judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
3 (B) If the victim has asserted the right to
4 restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
5 at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall, within
6 5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what
7 information and documentation related to restitution
8 is needed and that the information and documentation
9 must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days after
10 sentencing. Failure to timely provide information and
11 documentation related to restitution shall be deemed a
12 waiver of the right to restitution. The prosecutor
13 shall file and serve within 60 days after sentencing a
14 proposed judgment for restitution and a notice that
15 includes information concerning the identity of any
16 victims or other persons seeking restitution, whether
17 any victim or other person expressly declines
18 restitution, the nature and amount of any damages
19 together with any supporting documentation, a
20 restitution amount recommendation, and the names of
21 any co-defendants and their case numbers. Within 30
22 days after receipt of the proposed judgment for
23 restitution, the defendant shall file any objection to
24 the proposed judgment, a statement of grounds for the
25 objection, and a financial statement. If the defendant
26 does not file an objection, the court may enter the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1939 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 judgment for restitution without further proceedings.
2 If the defendant files an objection and either party
3 requests a hearing, the court shall schedule a hearing.
4 (13) Access to presentence reports.
5 (A) The victim may request a copy of the
6 presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
7 Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
8 Attorney shall redact the following information before
9 providing a copy of the report:
10 (i) the defendant's mental history and
11 condition;
12 (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
13 (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
14 (iii) the name, address, phone number, and
15 other personal information about any other victim.
16 (B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may
17 request the court redact other information in the
18 report that may endanger the safety of any person.
19 (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to the
20 victim any of the information that has been redacted if
21 there is a reasonable likelihood that the information
22 will be stated in court at the sentencing.
23 (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim
24 that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
25 the report and other information. Any dissemination of
26 the report or information that was not stated at a

HB3249 Enrolled- 1940 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
2 contempt of court.
3 (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
4 relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or the
5 prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days of
6 the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court may
7 stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a stay
8 would not violate a constitutional right of the defendant.
9 If the appellate court denies the relief sought, the
10 reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated in a written
11 opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the State may
12 assert as error the court's denial of any crime victim's
13 right in the proceeding to which the appeal relates.
14 (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
15 an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
16 violation of a victim's right.
17 (16) The right to be reasonably protected from the
18 accused throughout the criminal justice process and the
19 right to have the safety of the victim and the victim's
20 family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail,
21 determining whether to release the defendant, and setting
22 conditions of release after arrest and conviction. A victim
23 of domestic violence, a sexual offense, or stalking may
24 request the entry of a protective order under Article 112A
25 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
26 (d)(1) The Prisoner Review Board shall inform a victim or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1941 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

15such furlough. Upon written request by the victim or any other
16concerned citizen, the State's Attorney shall notify the person
17once of the times and dates of release of a prisoner sentenced
18to periodic imprisonment. Notification shall be based on the
19most recent information as to victim's or other concerned
20citizen's residence or other location available to the
21notifying authority.
22 (2) When the defendant has been committed to the Department
23of Human Services pursuant to Section 5-2-4 or any other
24provision of the Unified Code of Corrections, the victim may
25request to be notified by the releasing authority of the
26approval by the court of an on-grounds pass, a supervised

6and maintain a statewide telephone number to be used by victims
7to make notification requests under these provisions and shall
8publicize this telephone number on its website and to the
9State's Attorney of each county.
10 (3) In the event of an escape from State custody, the
11Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile Justice
12immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review Board of the
13escape and the Prisoner Review Board shall notify the victim.
14The notification shall be based upon the most recent
15information as to the victim's residence or other location

17the Board shall make all reasonable efforts to obtain the
18information and make the notification. When the escapee is
19apprehended, the Department of Corrections or the Department of
20Juvenile Justice immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review
21Board and the Board shall notify the victim.

22a defendant who was charged with a violent crime and has been
23convicted under a plea agreement of a crime that is not a
24violent crime as defined in subsection (c) of Section 3 of this
25Act. The court shall allow a victim to make an oral statement

HB3249 Enrolled- 1946 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1if the victim is present in the courtroom and requests to make
2an oral statement. An oral statement includes the victim or a
3representative of the victim reading the written statement. The
4court may allow persons impacted by the crime who are not
5victims under subsection (a) of Section 3 of this Act to
6present an oral or written statement. A victim and any person
7making an oral statement shall not be put under oath or subject
8to cross-examination. The court shall consider any statement
9presented along with all other appropriate factors in
10determining the sentence of the defendant or disposition of
11such juvenile.
12 (a-1) In any case where a defendant has been convicted of a
13violation of any statute, ordinance, or regulation relating to
14the operation or use of motor vehicles, the use of streets and
15highways by pedestrians or the operation of any other wheeled
16or tracked vehicle, except parking violations, if the violation
17resulted in great bodily harm or death, the person who suffered
18great bodily harm, the injured person's representative, or the
19representative of a deceased person shall be entitled to notice
20of the sentencing hearing. "Representative" includes the

26had upon them. If more than one representative of an injured or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1947 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1deceased person is present in the courtroom at the time of
2sentencing, the court has discretion to permit one or more of
3the representatives to present an oral impact statement. A
4victim and any person making an oral statement shall not be put
5under oath or subject to cross-examination. The court shall
6consider any impact statement presented along with all other
7appropriate factors in determining the sentence of the
8defendant.

16 Sec. 5-2-4. Proceedings after acquittal by reason of
17insanity.
18 (a) After a finding or verdict of not guilty by reason of
19insanity under Sections 104-25, 115-3, or 115-4 of the Code of
20Criminal Procedure of 1963, the defendant shall be ordered to
21the Department of Human Services for an evaluation as to
22whether he is in need of mental health services. The order
23shall specify whether the evaluation shall be conducted on an
24inpatient or outpatient basis. If the evaluation is to be
25conducted on an inpatient basis, the defendant shall be placed

HB3249 Enrolled- 1970 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1in a secure setting. With the court order for evaluation shall
2be sent a copy of the arrest report, criminal charges, arrest
3record, jail record, any report prepared under Section 115-6 of
4the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and any statement
5prepared under Section 6 of the Rights of Crime Victims and
6Witnesses Act. The clerk of the circuit court shall transmit
7this information to the Department within 5 days. If the court
8orders that the evaluation be done on an inpatient basis, the
9Department shall evaluate the defendant to determine to which
10secure facility the defendant shall be transported and, within
1120 days of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of
12the placement court order, notify the sheriff of the designated
13facility. Upon receipt of that notice, the sheriff shall
14promptly transport the defendant to the designated facility.
15During the period of time required to determine the appropriate
16placement, the defendant shall remain in jail. If, within 20
17days of the transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of
18the placement court order, the Department fails to notify the
19sheriff of the identity of the facility to which the defendant
20shall be transported, the sheriff shall contact a designated
21person within the Department to inquire about when a placement
22will become available at the designated facility and bed
23availability at other facilities. If, within 20 days of the
24transmittal by the clerk of the circuit court of the placement
25court order, the Department fails to notify the sheriff of the
26identity of the facility to which the defendant shall be

HB3249 Enrolled- 1971 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1transported, the sheriff shall notify the Department of its
2intent to transfer the defendant to the nearest secure mental
3health facility operated by the Department and inquire as to
4the status of the placement evaluation and availability for
5admission to the facility operated by the Department by
6contacting a designated person within the Department. The
7Department shall respond to the sheriff within 2 business days
8of the notice and inquiry by the sheriff seeking the transfer
9and the Department shall provide the sheriff with the status of
10the placement evaluation, information on bed and placement
11availability, and an estimated date of admission for the
12defendant and any changes to that estimated date of admission.
13If the Department notifies the sheriff during the 2 business
14day period of a facility operated by the Department with
15placement availability, the sheriff shall promptly transport
16the defendant to that facility. Individualized placement
17evaluations by the Department of Human Services determine the
18most appropriate setting for forensic treatment based upon a
19number of factors including mental health diagnosis, proximity
20to surviving victims, security need, age, gender, and proximity
21to family.
22 The Department shall provide the Court with a report of its
23evaluation within 30 days of the date of this order. The Court
24shall hold a hearing as provided under the Mental Health and
25Developmental Disabilities Code to determine if the individual
26is: (a) in need of mental health services on an inpatient

HB3249 Enrolled- 1972 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1basis; (b) in need of mental health services on an outpatient
2basis; (c) a person not in need of mental health services. The
3court shall afford the victim the opportunity to make a written
4or oral statement as guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of
5the Illinois Constitution and Section 6 of the Rights of Crime
6Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall allow a victim to
7make an oral statement if the victim is present in the
8courtroom and requests to make an oral statement. An oral
9statement includes the victim or a representative of the victim
10reading the written statement. The court may allow persons
11impacted by the crime who are not victims under subsection (a)
12of Section 3 of the this Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses
13Act to present an oral or written statement. A victim and any
14person making an oral statement shall not be put under oath or
15subject to cross-examination. The court shall consider any
16statement presented along with all other appropriate factors in
17determining the sentence of the defendant or disposition of the
18juvenile. All statements shall become part of the record of the
19court.
20 If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
21services on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall order the
22defendant to the Department of Human Services. The defendant
23shall be placed in a secure setting. Such defendants placed in
24a secure setting shall not be permitted outside the facility's
25housing unit unless escorted or accompanied by personnel of the
26Department of Human Services or with the prior approval of the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1973 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Court for unsupervised on-grounds privileges as provided
2herein. Any defendant placed in a secure setting pursuant to
3this Section, transported to court hearings or other necessary
4appointments off facility grounds by personnel of the
5Department of Human Services, shall be placed in security
6devices or otherwise secured during the period of
7transportation to assure secure transport of the defendant and
8the safety of Department of Human Services personnel and
9others. These security measures shall not constitute restraint
10as defined in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
11Code. If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
12services, but not on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall
13conditionally release the defendant, under such conditions as
14set forth in this Section as will reasonably assure the
15defendant's satisfactory progress and participation in
16treatment or rehabilitation and the safety of the defendant,
17the victim, the victim's family members, and others. If the
18Court finds the person not in need of mental health services,
19then the Court shall order the defendant discharged from
20custody.

22 (A) (Blank).
23 (B) "In need of mental health services on an inpatient

25 reason of insanity but who, due to mental illness, is
26 reasonably expected to inflict serious physical harm upon

HB3249 Enrolled- 1974 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 himself or another and who would benefit from inpatient
2 care or is in need of inpatient care.
3 (C) "In need of mental health services on an outpatient
4 basis" means: a defendant who has been found not guilty by
5 reason of insanity who is not in need of mental health
6 services on an inpatient basis, but is in need of
7 outpatient care, drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation
8 programs, community adjustment programs, individual,
9 group, or family therapy, or chemotherapy.
10 (D) "Conditional Release" means: the release from
11 either the custody of the Department of Human Services or
12 the custody of the Court of a person who has been found not
13 guilty by reason of insanity under such conditions as the
14 Court may impose which reasonably assure the defendant's
15 satisfactory progress in treatment or habilitation and the
16 safety of the defendant, the victim, the victim's family,
17 and others. The Court shall consider such terms and
18 conditions which may include, but need not be limited to,
19 outpatient care, alcoholic and drug rehabilitation
20 programs, community adjustment programs, individual,
21 group, family, and chemotherapy, random testing to ensure
22 the defendant's timely and continuous taking of any
23 medicines prescribed to control or manage his or her
24 conduct or mental state, and periodic checks with the legal
25 authorities and/or the Department of Human Services. The
26 Court may order as a condition of conditional release that

HB3249 Enrolled- 1975 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 the defendant not contact the victim of the offense that
2 resulted in the finding or verdict of not guilty by reason
3 of insanity or any other person. The Court may order the
4 Department of Human Services to provide care to any person
5 conditionally released under this Section. The Department
6 may contract with any public or private agency in order to
7 discharge any responsibilities imposed under this Section.
8 The Department shall monitor the provision of services to
9 persons conditionally released under this Section and
10 provide periodic reports to the Court concerning the
11 services and the condition of the defendant. Whenever a

14 held shall designate in writing the name, telephone number,
15 and address of a person employed by him or her who shall be
16 notified in the event that either the reporting agency or
17 the Department decides that the conditional release of the
18 defendant should be revoked or modified pursuant to
19 subsection (i) of this Section. Such conditional release
20 shall be for a period of five years. However, the
21 defendant, the person or facility rendering the treatment,
22 therapy, program or outpatient care, the Department, or the
23 State's Attorney may petition the Court for an extension of
24 the conditional release period for an additional 5 years.
25 Upon receipt of such a petition, the Court shall hold a
26 hearing consistent with the provisions of paragraph (a),

HB3249 Enrolled- 1976 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

2 shall determine whether the defendant should continue to be
3 subject to the terms of conditional release, and shall
4 enter an order either extending the defendant's period of
5 conditional release for an additional 5-year period or
6 discharging the defendant. Additional 5-year periods of
7 conditional release may be ordered following a hearing as
8 provided in this Section. However, in no event shall the
9 defendant's period of conditional release continue beyond
10 the maximum period of commitment ordered by the Court
11 pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. These provisions
12 for extension of conditional release shall only apply to
13 defendants conditionally released on or after August 8,

15 83-1449 apply only to defendants charged with a forcible
16 felony.
17 (E) "Facility director" means the chief officer of a
18 mental health or developmental disabilities facility or
19 his or her designee or the supervisor of a program of
20 treatment or habilitation or his or her designee.

2order shall be under the Mental Health and Developmental
3Disabilities Code, except that the initial order for admission
4of a defendant acquitted of a felony by reason of insanity
5shall be for an indefinite period of time. Such period of
6commitment shall not exceed the maximum length of time that the
7defendant would have been required to serve, less credit for
8good behavior as provided in Section 5-4-1 of the Unified Code
9of Corrections, before becoming eligible for release had he
10been convicted of and received the maximum sentence for the
11most serious crime for which he has been acquitted by reason of
12insanity. The Court shall determine the maximum period of
13commitment by an appropriate order. During this period of time,
14the defendant shall not be permitted to be in the community in
15any manner, including, but not limited to, off-grounds
16privileges, with or without escort by personnel of the
17Department of Human Services, unsupervised on-grounds
18privileges, discharge or conditional or temporary release,
19except by a plan as provided in this Section. In no event shall
20a defendant's continued unauthorized absence be a basis for
21discharge. Not more than 30 days after admission and every 90
22days thereafter so long as the initial order remains in effect,
23the facility director shall file a treatment plan report in
24writing with the court and forward a copy of the treatment plan
25report to the clerk of the court, the State's Attorney, and the

10description of the services recommended for treatment, (3) the
11goals of each type of element of service, (4) an anticipated
12timetable for the accomplishment of the goals, and (5) a
13designation of the qualified professional responsible for the
14implementation of the plan. The report may also include
15unsupervised on-grounds privileges, off-grounds privileges
16(with or without escort by personnel of the Department of Human
17Services), home visits and participation in work programs, but
18only where such privileges have been approved by specific court
19order, which order may include such conditions on the defendant
20as the Court may deem appropriate and necessary to reasonably
21assure the defendant's satisfactory progress in treatment and
22the safety of the defendant and others.
23 (c) Every defendant acquitted of a felony by reason of
24insanity and subsequently found to be in need of mental health
25services shall be represented by counsel in all proceedings

8 If the defendant is unable to pay the fee, the Court shall
9 enter an order upon the State to pay the entire fee or such
10 amount as the defendant is unable to pay from funds
11 appropriated by the General Assembly for that purpose.
12 (d) When the facility director determines that:
13 (1) the defendant is no longer in need of mental health
14 services on an inpatient basis; and
15 (2) the defendant may be conditionally released
16 because he or she is still in need of mental health
17 services or that the defendant may be discharged as not in
18 need of any mental health services; or
19 (3) (blank);
20the facility director shall give written notice to the Court,
21State's Attorney and defense attorney. Such notice shall set
22forth in detail the basis for the recommendation of the
23facility director, and specify clearly the recommendations, if
24any, of the facility director, concerning conditional release.
25Any recommendation for conditional release shall include an
26evaluation of the defendant's need for psychotropic

HB3249 Enrolled- 1980 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1medication, what provisions should be made, if any, to ensure
2that the defendant will continue to receive psychotropic
3medication following discharge, and what provisions should be
4made to assure the safety of the defendant and others in the
5event the defendant is no longer receiving psychotropic
6medication. Within 30 days of the notification by the facility
7director, the Court shall set a hearing and make a finding as
8to whether the defendant is:

15defendant by a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist as defined
16in Section 1-103 of the Mental Health and Developmental
17Disabilities Code who is not in the employ of the Department of
18Human Services shall be ordered, and the report considered at
19the time of the hearing.
20 (g) The findings of the Court shall be established by clear
21and convincing evidence. The burden of proof and the burden of
22going forth with the evidence rest with the defendant or any
23person on the defendant's behalf when a hearing is held to
24review a petition filed by or on behalf of the defendant. The
25evidence shall be presented in open Court with the right of
26confrontation and cross-examination. Such evidence may

HB3249 Enrolled- 1982 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1include, but is not limited to:
2 (1) whether the defendant appreciates the harm caused
3 by the defendant to others and the community by his or her

4 appropriate.
5 (h) Before the court orders that the defendant be
6discharged or conditionally released, it shall order the
7facility director to establish a discharge plan that includes a
8plan for the defendant's shelter, support, and medication. If
9appropriate, the court shall order that the facility director
10establish a program to train the defendant in self-medication
11under standards established by the Department of Human

24consistent with the provisions in this Section that the
25defendant is in need of mental health services on an inpatient
26basis, it shall order the facility director not to discharge or

HB3249 Enrolled- 1984 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1release the defendant in accordance with paragraph (b) of this
2Section.
3 (i) If within the period of the defendant's conditional
4release the State's Attorney determines that the defendant has
5not fulfilled the conditions of his or her release, the State's
6Attorney may petition the Court to revoke or modify the
7conditional release of the defendant. Upon the filing of such
8petition the defendant may be remanded to the custody of the
9Department, or to any other mental health facility designated
10by the Department, pending the resolution of the petition.
11Nothing in this Section shall prevent the emergency admission
12of a defendant pursuant to Article VI of Chapter III of the
13Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code or the
14voluntary admission of the defendant pursuant to Article IV of
15Chapter III of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
16Code. If the Court determines, after hearing evidence, that the
17defendant has not fulfilled the conditions of release, the
18Court shall order a hearing to be held consistent with the
19provisions of paragraph (f) and (g) of this Section. At such
20hearing, if the Court finds that the defendant is in need of
21mental health services on an inpatient basis, it shall enter an
22order remanding him or her to the Department of Human Services
23or other facility. If the defendant is remanded to the
24Department of Human Services, he or she shall be placed in a
25secure setting unless the Court determines that there are
26compelling reasons that such placement is not necessary. If the

HB3249 Enrolled- 1985 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Court finds that the defendant continues to be in need of
2mental health services but not on an inpatient basis, it may
3modify the conditions of the original release in order to
4reasonably assure the defendant's satisfactory progress in
5treatment and his or her safety and the safety of others in
6accordance with the standards established in paragraph (D) of
7subsection (a-1). Nothing in this Section shall limit a Court's
8contempt powers or any other powers of a Court.
9 (j) An order of admission under this Section does not
10affect the remedy of habeas corpus.
11 (k) In the event of a conflict between this Section and the
12Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code or the Mental
13Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, the
14provisions of this Section shall govern.
15 (l) Public Act 90-593 shall apply to all persons who have
16been found not guilty by reason of insanity and who are
17presently committed to the Department of Mental Health and
18Developmental Disabilities (now the Department of Human

5shall include the following:
6 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
7the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
8prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
9prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
10applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
11Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
12case, assuming the defendant receives all of his or her
13sentence credit, the period of estimated actual custody is ...
14years and ... months, less up to 180 days additional earned
15sentence credit. If the defendant, because of his or her own
16misconduct or failure to comply with the institutional
17regulations, does not receive those credits, the actual time
18served in prison will be longer. The defendant may also receive
19an additional one-half day sentence credit for each day of

13subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) of subsection (d) of Section
1411-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code committed on or after
15January 1, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act 96-1230), the
16judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the sentence,
17shall include the following:
18 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
19the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
20prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
21prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
22applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
23Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this
24case, the defendant is entitled to no more than 4 1/2 days of
25sentence credit for each month of his or her sentence of
26imprisonment. Therefore, this defendant will serve at least 85%

HB3249 Enrolled- 1997 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1of his or her sentence. Assuming the defendant receives 4 1/2
2days credit for each month of his or her sentence, the period
3of estimated actual custody is ... years and ... months. If the
4defendant, because of his or her own misconduct or failure to
5comply with the institutional regulations receives lesser
6credit, the actual time served in prison will be longer."
7 When a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for first degree
8murder and the offense was committed on or after June 19, 1998,
9the judge's statement, to be given after pronouncing the
10sentence, shall include the following:
11 "The purpose of this statement is to inform the public of
12the actual period of time this defendant is likely to spend in
13prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
14prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
15applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of

4prison as a result of this sentence. The actual period of
5prison time served is determined by the statutes of Illinois as
6applied to this sentence by the Illinois Department of
7Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. In this

10she participates in and completes a substance abuse treatment
11program or receives a waiver from the Director of Corrections

3by law, the results of such test shall be kept strictly
4confidential by all medical personnel involved in the testing
5and must be personally delivered in a sealed envelope to the
6judge of the court in which the conviction was entered for the
7judge's inspection in camera. Acting in accordance with the
8best interests of the public, the judge shall have the
9discretion to determine to whom, if anyone, the results of the
10testing may be revealed. The court shall notify the defendant
11of a positive test showing an infection with the human
12immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The court shall provide
13information on the availability of HIV testing and counseling
14at Department of Public Health facilities to all parties to
15whom the results of the testing are revealed and shall direct
16the State's Attorney to provide the information to the victim
17when possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to
18obtain the results of any HIV test administered under this
19Section, and the court shall grant the disclosure if the
20State's Attorney shows it is relevant in order to prosecute a
21charge of criminal transmission of HIV under Section 12-5.01 or
2212-16.2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
232012 against the defendant. The court shall order that the cost
24of any such test shall be paid by the county and may be taxed as
25costs against the convicted defendant.

1212-15, or 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
13Code of 2012, any violation of the Illinois Controlled
14Substances Act, any violation of the Cannabis Control Act, or
15any violation of the Methamphetamine Control and Community
16Protection Act results in conviction, a disposition of court
17supervision, or an order of probation granted under Section 10
18of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois
19Controlled Substances Act, or Section 70 of the Methamphetamine
20Control and Community Protection Act of a defendant, the court
21shall determine whether the defendant is employed by a facility
22or center as defined under the Child Care Act of 1969, a public
23or private elementary or secondary school, or otherwise works
24with children under 18 years of age on a daily basis. When a
25defendant is so employed, the court shall order the Clerk of
26the Court to send a copy of the judgment of conviction or order

HB3249 Enrolled- 2039 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1of supervision or probation to the defendant's employer by
2certified mail. If the employer of the defendant is a school,
3the Clerk of the Court shall direct the mailing of a copy of
4the judgment of conviction or order of supervision or probation
5to the appropriate regional superintendent of schools. The
6regional superintendent of schools shall notify the State Board
7of Education of any notification under this subsection.
8 (j-5) A defendant at least 17 years of age who is convicted
9of a felony and who has not been previously convicted of a
10misdemeanor or felony and who is sentenced to a term of

14for a high school diploma and to work toward a high school
15diploma or to work toward passing high school equivalency
16testing or to work toward completing a vocational training
17program offered by the Department of Corrections. If a
18defendant fails to complete the educational training required
19by his or her sentence during the term of incarceration, the
20Prisoner Review Board shall, as a condition of mandatory
21supervised release, require the defendant, at his or her own
22expense, to pursue a course of study toward a high school
23diploma or passage of high school equivalency testing. The
24Prisoner Review Board shall revoke the mandatory supervised
25release of a defendant who wilfully fails to comply with this
26subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a

HB3249 Enrolled- 2040 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1penal institution while serving a mandatory supervised release
2term; however, the inability of the defendant after making a
3good faith effort to obtain financial aid or pay for the
4educational training shall not be deemed a wilful failure to
5comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant
6whose mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under
7this subsection (j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9. This
8subsection (j-5) does not apply to a defendant who has a high
9school diploma or has successfully passed high school
10equivalency testing. This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a
11defendant who is determined by the court to be a person with a
12developmental disability or otherwise mentally incapable of

19may, upon motion of the State's Attorney, hold sentence in
20abeyance and remand the defendant to the custody of the
21Attorney General of the United States or his or her designated
22agent to be deported when:
23 (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
24 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
25 Immigration and Nationality Act, and
26 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not

HB3249 Enrolled- 2041 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
2 would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
3 Otherwise, the defendant shall be sentenced as provided in
4this Chapter V.
5 (B) If the defendant has already been sentenced for a
6felony or misdemeanor offense, or has been placed on probation
7under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of
8the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or Section 70 of the
9Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, the
10court may, upon motion of the State's Attorney to suspend the
11sentence imposed, commit the defendant to the custody of the
12Attorney General of the United States or his or her designated
13agent when:
14 (1) a final order of deportation has been issued
15 against the defendant pursuant to proceedings under the
16 Immigration and Nationality Act, and
17 (2) the deportation of the defendant would not
18 deprecate the seriousness of the defendant's conduct and
19 would not be inconsistent with the ends of justice.
20 (C) This subsection (l) does not apply to offenders who are
21subject to the provisions of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of
22Section 3-6-3.
23 (D) Upon motion of the State's Attorney, if a defendant

26custody of the county from which he or she was sentenced.

HB3249 Enrolled- 2042 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1Thereafter, the defendant shall be brought before the
2sentencing court, which may impose any sentence that was
3available under Section 5-5-3 at the time of initial
4sentencing. In addition, the defendant shall not be eligible
5for additional earned sentence credit as provided under Section
63-6-3.
7 (m) A person convicted of criminal defacement of property
8under Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the

12removal, or painting over the defacement.
13 (n) The court may sentence a person convicted of a
14violation of Section 12-19, 12-21, 16-1.3, or 17-56, or

4 (730 ILCS 5/5-5-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-6)
5 Sec. 5-5-6. In all convictions for offenses in violation of
6the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or of
7Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code in which the person
8received any injury to his or her person or damage to his or
9her real or personal property as a result of the criminal act
10of the defendant, the court shall order restitution as provided
11in this Section. In all other cases, except cases in which
12restitution is required under this Section, the court must at
13the sentence hearing determine whether restitution is an
14appropriate sentence to be imposed on each defendant convicted
15of an offense. If the court determines that an order directing
16the offender to make restitution is appropriate, the offender
17may be sentenced to make restitution. The court may consider
18restitution an appropriate sentence to be imposed on each
19defendant convicted of an offense in addition to a sentence of
20imprisonment. The sentence of the defendant to a term of
21imprisonment is not a mitigating factor that prevents the court
22from ordering the defendant to pay restitution. If the offender
23is sentenced to make restitution the Court shall determine the
24restitution as hereinafter set forth:
25 (a) At the sentence hearing, the court shall determine

HB3249 Enrolled- 2044 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 whether the property may be restored in kind to the
2 possession of the owner or the person entitled to
3 possession thereof; or whether the defendant is possessed
4 of sufficient skill to repair and restore property damaged;
5 or whether the defendant should be required to make
6 restitution in cash, for out-of-pocket expenses, damages,
7 losses, or injuries found to have been proximately caused
8 by the conduct of the defendant or another for whom the
9 defendant is legally accountable under the provisions of
10 Article 5 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code
11 of 2012.
12 (b) In fixing the amount of restitution to be paid in
13 cash, the court shall allow credit for property returned in
14 kind, for property damages ordered to be repaired by the
15 defendant, and for property ordered to be restored by the
16 defendant; and after granting the credit, the court shall
17 assess the actual out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages,
18 and injuries suffered by the victim named in the charge and
19 any other victims who may also have suffered out-of-pocket
20 expenses, losses, damages, and injuries proximately caused
21 by the same criminal conduct of the defendant, and
22 insurance carriers who have indemnified the named victim or
23 other victims for the out-of-pocket expenses, losses,
24 damages, or injuries, provided that in no event shall
25 restitution be ordered to be paid on account of pain and
26 suffering. When a victim's out-of-pocket expenses have

HB3249 Enrolled- 2045 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 been paid pursuant to the Crime Victims Compensation Act,
2 the court shall order restitution be paid to the
3 compensation program. If a defendant is placed on
4 supervision for, or convicted of, domestic battery, the
5 defendant shall be required to pay restitution to any
6 domestic violence shelter in which the victim and any other
7 family or household members lived because of the domestic
8 battery. The amount of the restitution shall equal the
9 actual expenses of the domestic violence shelter in
10 providing housing and any other services for the victim and
11 any other family or household members living at the
12 shelter. If a defendant fails to pay restitution in the
13 manner or within the time period specified by the court,
14 the court may enter an order directing the sheriff to seize
15 any real or personal property of a defendant to the extent
16 necessary to satisfy the order of restitution and dispose
17 of the property by public sale. All proceeds from such sale
18 in excess of the amount of restitution plus court costs and
19 the costs of the sheriff in conducting the sale shall be
20 paid to the defendant. The defendant convicted of domestic
21 battery, if a person under 18 years of age was present and
22 witnessed the domestic battery of the victim, is liable to
23 pay restitution for the cost of any counseling required for
24 the child at the discretion of the court.
25 (c) In cases where more than one defendant is
26 accountable for the same criminal conduct that results in

HB3249 Enrolled- 2046 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages, or injuries, each
2 defendant shall be ordered to pay restitution in the amount
3 of the total actual out-of-pocket expenses, losses,
4 damages, or injuries to the victim proximately caused by
5 the conduct of all of the defendants who are legally
6 accountable for the offense.
7 (1) In no event shall the victim be entitled to
8 recover restitution in excess of the actual
9 out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages, or injuries,
10 proximately caused by the conduct of all of the
11 defendants.
12 (2) As between the defendants, the court may
13 apportion the restitution that is payable in
14 proportion to each co-defendant's culpability in the
15 commission of the offense.
16 (3) In the absence of a specific order apportioning
17 the restitution, each defendant shall bear his pro rata
18 share of the restitution.
19 (4) As between the defendants, each defendant
20 shall be entitled to a pro rata reduction in the total
21 restitution required to be paid to the victim for
22 amounts of restitution actually paid by co-defendants,
23 and defendants who shall have paid more than their pro
24 rata share shall be entitled to refunds to be computed
25 by the court as additional amounts are paid by
26 co-defendants.

HB3249 Enrolled- 2047 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (d) In instances where a defendant has more than one
2 criminal charge pending against him in a single case, or
3 more than one case, and the defendant stands convicted of
4 one or more charges, a plea agreement negotiated by the
5 State's Attorney and the defendants may require the
6 defendant to make restitution to victims of charges that
7 have been dismissed or which it is contemplated will be
8 dismissed under the terms of the plea agreement, and under
9 the agreement, the court may impose a sentence of
10 restitution on the charge or charges of which the defendant
11 has been convicted that would require the defendant to make
12 restitution to victims of other offenses as provided in the
13 plea agreement.
14 (e) The court may require the defendant to apply the
15 balance of the cash bond, after payment of court costs, and
16 any fine that may be imposed to the payment of restitution.
17 (f) Taking into consideration the ability of the
18 defendant to pay, including any real or personal property
19 or any other assets of the defendant, the court shall
20 determine whether restitution shall be paid in a single
21 payment or in installments, and shall fix a period of time
22 not in excess of 5 years, except for violations of Sections
23 16-1.3 and 17-56 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
24 Criminal Code of 2012, or the period of time specified in
25 subsection (f-1), not including periods of incarceration,
26 within which payment of restitution is to be paid in full.

HB3249 Enrolled- 2048 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Complete restitution shall be paid in as short a time
2 period as possible. However, if the court deems it
3 necessary and in the best interest of the victim, the court
4 may extend beyond 5 years the period of time within which
5 the payment of restitution is to be paid. If the defendant
6 is ordered to pay restitution and the court orders that
7 restitution is to be paid over a period greater than 6
8 months, the court shall order that the defendant make
9 monthly payments; the court may waive this requirement of
10 monthly payments only if there is a specific finding of
11 good cause for waiver.
12 (f-1)(1) In addition to any other penalty prescribed by
13 law and any restitution ordered under this Section that did
14 not include long-term physical health care costs, the court
15 may, upon conviction of any misdemeanor or felony, order a
16 defendant to pay restitution to a victim in accordance with
17 the provisions of this subsection (f-1) if the victim has
18 suffered physical injury as a result of the offense that is
19 reasonably probable to require or has required long-term
20 physical health care for more than 3 months. As used in
21 this subsection (f-1), "long-term physical health care"
22 includes mental health care.
23 (2) The victim's estimate of long-term physical health
24 care costs may be made as part of a victim impact statement
25 under Section 6 of the Rights of Crime Victims and
26 Witnesses Act or made separately. The court shall enter the

HB3249 Enrolled- 2049 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 long-term physical health care restitution order at the
2 time of sentencing. An order of restitution made under this
3 subsection (f-1) shall fix a monthly amount to be paid by
4 the defendant for as long as long-term physical health care
5 of the victim is required as a result of the offense. The
6 order may exceed the length of any sentence imposed upon
7 the defendant for the criminal activity. The court shall
8 include as a special finding in the judgment of conviction
9 its determination of the monthly cost of long-term physical
10 health care.
11 (3) After a sentencing order has been entered, the
12 court may from time to time, on the petition of either the
13 defendant or the victim, or upon its own motion, enter an
14 order for restitution for long-term physical care or modify
15 the existing order for restitution for long-term physical
16 care as to the amount of monthly payments. Any modification
17 of the order shall be based only upon a substantial change
18 of circumstances relating to the cost of long-term physical
19 health care or the financial condition of either the
20 defendant or the victim. The petition shall be filed as
21 part of the original criminal docket.
22 (g) In addition to the sentences provided for in
23 Sections 11-1.20, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, 11-1.50, 11-1.60,
24 11-19.2, 11-20.1, 11-20.1B, 11-20.3, 12-13, 12-14,
25 12-14.1, 12-15, and 12-16, and subdivision (a)(4) of
26 Section 11-14.4, of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the

HB3249 Enrolled- 2050 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 Criminal Code of 2012, the court may order any person who
2 is convicted of violating any of those Sections or who was
3 charged with any of those offenses and which charge was
4 reduced to another charge as a result of a plea agreement
5 under subsection (d) of this Section to meet all or any
6 portion of the financial obligations of treatment,
7 including but not limited to medical, psychiatric, or
8 rehabilitative treatment or psychological counseling,
9 prescribed for the victim or victims of the offense.
10 The payments shall be made by the defendant to the
11 clerk of the circuit court and transmitted by the clerk to
12 the appropriate person or agency as directed by the court.
13 Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f-1), the order
14 may require such payments to be made for a period not to
15 exceed 5 years after sentencing, not including periods of
16 incarceration.
17 (h) The judge may enter an order of withholding to
18 collect the amount of restitution owed in accordance with
19 Part 8 of Article XII of the Code of Civil Procedure.
20 (i) A sentence of restitution may be modified or
21 revoked by the court if the offender commits another
22 offense, or the offender fails to make restitution as
23 ordered by the court, but no sentence to make restitution
24 shall be revoked unless the court shall find that the
25 offender has had the financial ability to make restitution,
26 and he has wilfully refused to do so. When the offender's

HB3249 Enrolled- 2051 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 ability to pay restitution was established at the time an
2 order of restitution was entered or modified, or when the
3 offender's ability to pay was based on the offender's
4 willingness to make restitution as part of a plea agreement
5 made at the time the order of restitution was entered or
6 modified, there is a rebuttable presumption that the facts
7 and circumstances considered by the court at the hearing at
8 which the order of restitution was entered or modified
9 regarding the offender's ability or willingness to pay
10 restitution have not materially changed. If the court shall
11 find that the defendant has failed to make restitution and
12 that the failure is not wilful, the court may impose an
13 additional period of time within which to make restitution.
14 The length of the additional period shall not be more than
15 2 years. The court shall retain all of the incidents of the
16 original sentence, including the authority to modify or
17 enlarge the conditions, and to revoke or further modify the
18 sentence if the conditions of payment are violated during
19 the additional period.
20 (j) The procedure upon the filing of a Petition to
21 Revoke a sentence to make restitution shall be the same as
22 the procedures set forth in Section 5-6-4 of this Code
23 governing violation, modification, or revocation of
24 Probation, of Conditional Discharge, or of Supervision.
25 (k) Nothing contained in this Section shall preclude
26 the right of any party to proceed in a civil action to

HB3249 Enrolled- 2052 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 recover for any damages incurred due to the criminal
2 misconduct of the defendant.
3 (l) Restitution ordered under this Section shall not be
4 subject to disbursement by the circuit clerk under the
5 Criminal and Traffic Assessment Act.
6 (m) A restitution order under this Section is a
7 judgment lien in favor of the victim that:
8 (1) Attaches to the property of the person subject
9 to the order;
10 (2) May be perfected in the same manner as provided
11 in Part 3 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code;
12 (3) May be enforced to satisfy any payment that is
13 delinquent under the restitution order by the person in
14 whose favor the order is issued or the person's
15 assignee; and
16 (4) Expires in the same manner as a judgment lien
17 created in a civil proceeding.
18 When a restitution order is issued under this Section,
19 the issuing court shall send a certified copy of the order
20 to the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the
21 charge was filed. Upon receiving the order, the clerk shall
22 enter and index the order in the circuit court judgment
23 docket.
24 (n) An order of restitution under this Section does not
25 bar a civil action for:
26 (1) Damages that the court did not require the

HB3249 Enrolled- 2053 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 person to pay to the victim under the restitution order
2 but arise from an injury or property damages that is
3 the basis of restitution ordered by the court; and
4 (2) Other damages suffered by the victim.
5 The restitution order is not discharged by the completion
6of the sentence imposed for the offense.
7 A restitution order under this Section is not discharged by
8the liquidation of a person's estate by a receiver. A
9restitution order under this Section may be enforced in the
10same manner as judgment liens are enforced under Article XII of
11the Code of Civil Procedure.
12 The provisions of Section 2-1303 of the Code of Civil
13Procedure, providing for interest on judgments, apply to
14judgments for restitution entered under this Section.

17 Sec. 5-7-1. Sentence of periodic imprisonment.
18 (a) A sentence of periodic imprisonment is a sentence of
19imprisonment during which the committed person may be released
20for periods of time during the day or night or for periods of

8amended by changing Section 20 as follows:
9 (750 ILCS 85/20)
10 Sec. 20. Prohibitions; burden of proof.
11 (a) A person's blindness shall not serve as a basis for
12denial or restriction of parenting time or the allocation of
13parental responsibilities if the parenting time or the
14allocation of parental responsibilities is determined to be
15otherwise in the best interests of the child.
16 (b) A person's blindness shall not serve as a basis for
17denial of participation in public or private adoption when the
18adoption is determined to be otherwise in the best interests of

12health care.
13 (a) The form prescribed in this Section (sometimes also
14referred to in this Act as the "statutory health care power")
15may be used to grant an agent powers with respect to the
16principal's own health care; but the statutory health care
17power is not intended to be exclusive nor to cover delegation
18of a parent's power to control the health care of a minor
19child, and no provision of this Article shall be construed to
20invalidate or bar use by the principal of any other or
21different form of power of attorney for health care.
22Nonstatutory health care powers must be executed by the
23principal, designate the agent and the agent's powers, and
24comply with the limitations in Section 4-5 of this Article, but

2the statutory health care power.
3 No specific format is required for the statutory health
4care power of attorney other than the notice must precede the
5form. The statutory health care power may be included in or

8 (b) The Illinois Statutory Short Form Power of Attorney for
9Health Care shall be substantially as follows:
10
NOTICE TO THE INDIVIDUAL SIGNING
11
THE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE
12 No one can predict when a serious illness or accident might
13occur. When it does, you may need someone else to speak or make
14health care decisions for you. If you plan now, you can
15increase the chances that the medical treatment you get will be
16the treatment you want.
17 In Illinois, you can choose someone to be your "health care
18agent". Your agent is the person you trust to make health care
19decisions for you if you are unable or do not want to make them
20yourself. These decisions should be based on your personal
21values and wishes.
22 It is important to put your choice of agent in writing. The
23written form is often called an "advance directive". You may
24use this form or another form, as long as it meets the legal
25requirements of Illinois. There are many written and on-line

HB3249 Enrolled- 2078 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1resources to guide you and your loved ones in having a
2conversation about these issues. You may find it helpful to
3look at these resources while thinking about and discussing
4your advance directive.
5
WHAT ARE THE THINGS I WANT MY
6
HEALTH CARE AGENT TO KNOW?
7 The selection of your agent should be considered carefully,
8as your agent will have the ultimate decision-making decision
9making authority once this document goes into effect, in most
10instances after you are no longer able to make your own
11decisions. While the goal is for your agent to make decisions
12in keeping with your preferences and in the majority of
13circumstances that is what happens, please know that the law
14does allow your agent to make decisions to direct or refuse
15health care interventions or withdraw treatment. Your agent
16will need to think about conversations you have had, your
17personality, and how you handled important health care issues
18in the past. Therefore, it is important to talk with your agent
19and your family about such things as:
20 (i) What is most important to you in your life?
21 (ii) How important is it to you to avoid pain and
22 suffering?
23 (iii) If you had to choose, is it more important to you
24 to live as long as possible, or to avoid prolonged
25 suffering or disability?

HB3249 Enrolled- 2079 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 (iv) Would you rather be at home or in a hospital for
2 the last days or weeks of your life?
3 (v) Do you have religious, spiritual, or cultural
4 beliefs that you want your agent and others to consider?
5 (vi) Do you wish to make a significant contribution to
6 medical science after your death through organ or whole
7 body donation?
8 (vii) Do you have an existing advance advanced
9 directive, such as a living will, that contains your
10 specific wishes about health care that is only delaying
11 your death? If you have another advance directive, make
12 sure to discuss with your agent the directive and the
13 treatment decisions contained within that outline your
14 preferences. Make sure that your agent agrees to honor the
15 wishes expressed in your advance directive.
16
WHAT KIND OF DECISIONS CAN MY AGENT MAKE?
17 If there is ever a period of time when your physician
18determines that you cannot make your own health care decisions,
19or if you do not want to make your own decisions, some of the
20decisions your agent could make are to:
21 (i) talk with physicians and other health care
22 providers about your condition.
23 (ii) see medical records and approve who else can see
24 them.
25 (iii) give permission for medical tests, medicines,

HB3249 Enrolled- 2080 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 surgery, or other treatments.
2 (iv) choose where you receive care and which physicians
3 and others provide it.
4 (v) decide to accept, withdraw, or decline treatments
5 designed to keep you alive if you are near death or not
6 likely to recover. You may choose to include guidelines
7 and/or restrictions to your agent's authority.
8 (vi) agree or decline to donate your organs or your
9 whole body if you have not already made this decision
10 yourself. This could include donation for transplant,
11 research, and/or education. You should let your agent know
12 whether you are registered as a donor in the First Person
13 Consent registry maintained by the Illinois Secretary of
14 State or whether you have agreed to donate your whole body
15 for medical research and/or education.
16 (vii) decide what to do with your remains after you
17 have died, if you have not already made plans.
18 (viii) talk with your other loved ones to help come to
19 a decision (but your designated agent will have the final
20 say over your other loved ones).
21 Your agent is not automatically responsible for your health
22care expenses.
23
WHOM SHOULD I CHOOSE TO BE MY HEALTH CARE AGENT?
24 You can pick a family member, but you do not have to. Your
25agent will have the responsibility to make medical treatment

HB3249 Enrolled- 2081 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1decisions, even if other people close to you might urge a
2different decision. The selection of your agent should be done
3carefully, as he or she will have ultimate decision-making
4authority for your treatment decisions once you are no longer
5able to voice your preferences. Choose a family member, friend,
6or other person who:
7 (i) is at least 18 years old;
8 (ii) knows you well;
9 (iii) you trust to do what is best for you and is
10 willing to carry out your wishes, even if he or she may not
11 agree with your wishes;
12 (iv) would be comfortable talking with and questioning
13 your physicians and other health care providers;
14 (v) would not be too upset to carry out your wishes if
15 you became very sick; and
16 (vi) can be there for you when you need it and is
17 willing to accept this important role.
18
WHAT IF MY AGENT IS NOT AVAILABLE OR IS
19
UNWILLING TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR ME?
20 If the person who is your first choice is unable to carry
21out this role, then the second agent you chose will make the
22decisions; if your second agent is not available, then the
23third agent you chose will make the decisions. The second and
24third agents are called your successor agents and they function
25as back-up agents to your first choice agent and may act only

HB3249 Enrolled- 2082 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1one at a time and in the order you list them.
2
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DO NOT
3
CHOOSE A HEALTH CARE AGENT?
4 If you become unable to make your own health care decisions
5and have not named an agent in writing, your physician and
6other health care providers will ask a family member, friend,
7or guardian to make decisions for you. In Illinois, a law
8directs which of these individuals will be consulted. In that
9law, each of these individuals is called a "surrogate".
10 There are reasons why you may want to name an agent rather
11than rely on a surrogate:
12 (i) The person or people listed by this law may not be
13 who you would want to make decisions for you.
14 (ii) Some family members or friends might not be able
15 or willing to make decisions as you would want them to.
16 (iii) Family members and friends may disagree with one
17 another about the best decisions.
18 (iv) Under some circumstances, a surrogate may not be
19 able to make the same kinds of decisions that an agent can
20 make.
21
WHAT IF THERE IS NO ONE AVAILABLE
22
WHOM I TRUST TO BE MY AGENT?
23 In this situation, it is especially important to talk to
24your physician and other health care providers and create

HB3249 Enrolled- 2083 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1written guidance about what you want or do not want, in case
2you are ever critically ill and cannot express your own wishes.
3You can complete a living will. You can also write your wishes
4down and/or discuss them with your physician or other health
5care provider and ask him or her to write it down in your
6chart. You might also want to use written or on-line resources
7to guide you through this process.
8
WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS FORM ONCE I COMPLETE IT?
9 Follow these instructions after you have completed the
10form:
11 (i) Sign the form in front of a witness. See the form
12 for a list of who can and cannot witness it.
13 (ii) Ask the witness to sign it, too.
14 (iii) There is no need to have the form notarized.
15 (iv) Give a copy to your agent and to each of your
16 successor agents.
17 (v) Give another copy to your physician.
18 (vi) Take a copy with you when you go to the hospital.
19 (vii) Show it to your family and friends and others who
20 care for you.
21
WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND?
22 You may change your mind at any time. If you do, tell
23someone who is at least 18 years old that you have changed your
24mind, and/or destroy your document and any copies. If you wish,

HB3249 Enrolled- 2084 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1fill out a new form and make sure everyone you gave the old
2form to has a copy of the new one, including, but not limited
3to, your agents and your physicians.
4
WHAT IF I DO NOT WANT TO USE THIS FORM?
5 In the event you do not want to use the Illinois statutory
6form provided here, any document you complete must be executed
7by you, designate an agent who is over 18 years of age and not
8prohibited from serving as your agent, and state the agent's
9powers, but it need not be witnessed or conform in any other
10respect to the statutory health care power.
11 If you have questions about the use of any form, you may
12want to consult your physician, other health care provider,
13and/or an attorney.

19 (i) Deciding to accept, withdraw or decline treatment
20 for any physical or mental condition of mine, including
21 life-and-death decisions.
22 (ii) Agreeing to admit me to or discharge me from any

1 health facility.

5 (iv) Carrying out the plans I have already made, or, if
6 I have not done so, making decisions about my body or
7 remains, including organ, tissue or whole body donation,
8 autopsy, cremation, and burial.
9 The above grant of power is intended to be as broad as
10possible so that my agent will have the authority to make any
11decision I could make to obtain or terminate any type of health
12care, including withdrawal of nutrition and hydration and other
13life-sustaining measures.
14I AUTHORIZE MY AGENT TO (please check any one box):
15 .... Make decisions for me only when I cannot make them for
16 myself. The physician(s) taking care of me will determine
17 when I lack this ability.
18 (If no box is checked, then the box above shall be
19 implemented.) OR
20 .... Make decisions for me only when I cannot make them for
21 myself. The physician(s) taking care of me will determine
22 when I lack this ability. Starting now, for the purpose of
23 assisting me with my health care plans and decisions, my
24 agent shall have complete access to my medical and mental
25 health records, the authority to share them with others as

HB3249 Enrolled- 2087 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 needed, and the complete ability to communicate with my
2 personal physician(s) and other health care providers,
3 including the ability to require an opinion of my physician
4 as to whether I lack the ability to make decisions for
5 myself. OR
6 .... Make decisions for me starting now and continuing
7 after I am no longer able to make them for myself. While I
8 am still able to make my own decisions, I can still do so
9 if I want to.
10 The subject of life-sustaining treatment is of particular
11importance. Life-sustaining treatments may include tube
12feedings or fluids through a tube, breathing machines, and CPR.
13In general, in making decisions concerning life-sustaining
14treatment, your agent is instructed to consider the relief of
15suffering, the quality as well as the possible extension of
16your life, and your previously expressed wishes. Your agent
17will weigh the burdens versus benefits of proposed treatments
18in making decisions on your behalf.
19 Additional statements concerning the withholding or
20removal of life-sustaining treatment are described below.
21These can serve as a guide for your agent when making decisions
22for you. Ask your physician or health care provider if you have
23any questions about these statements.
24SELECT ONLY ONE STATEMENT BELOW THAT BEST EXPRESSES YOUR WISHES

HB3249 Enrolled- 2088 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

2 .... The quality of my life is more important than the
3 length of my life. If I am unconscious and my attending
4 physician believes, in accordance with reasonable medical
5 standards, that I will not wake up or recover my ability to
6 think, communicate with my family and friends, and
7 experience my surroundings, I do not want treatments to
8 prolong my life or delay my death, but I do want treatment
9 or care to make me comfortable and to relieve me of pain.
10 .... Staying alive is more important to me, no matter how
11 sick I am, how much I am suffering, the cost of the
12 procedures, or how unlikely my chances for recovery are. I
13 want my life to be prolonged to the greatest extent
14 possible in accordance with reasonable medical standards.
15SPECIFIC LIMITATIONS TO MY AGENT'S DECISION-MAKING AUTHORITY:
16 The above grant of power is intended to be as broad as
17possible so that your agent will have the authority to make any
18decision you could make to obtain or terminate any type of
19health care. If you wish to limit the scope of your agent's
20powers or prescribe special rules or limit the power to
21authorize autopsy or dispose of remains, you may do so
22specifically in this form.

HB3249 Enrolled- 2090 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1to make any and all health care decisions on behalf of the
2principal which the principal could make if present and under
3no disability, subject to any limitations on the granted powers
4that appear on the face of the form, to be exercised in such
5manner as the agent deems consistent with the intent and
6desires of the principal. The agent will be under no duty to
7exercise granted powers or to assume control of or
8responsibility for the principal's health care; but when
9granted powers are exercised, the agent will be required to use
10due care to act for the benefit of the principal in accordance
11with the terms of the statutory health care power and will be
12liable for negligent exercise. The agent may act in person or
13through others reasonably employed by the agent for that
14purpose but may not delegate authority to make health care
15decisions. The agent may sign and deliver all instruments,
16negotiate and enter into all agreements and do all other acts
17reasonably necessary to implement the exercise of the powers
18granted to the agent. Without limiting the generality of the
19foregoing, the statutory health care power shall include the
20following powers, subject to any limitations appearing on the
21face of the form:
22 (1) The agent is authorized to give consent to and
23 authorize or refuse, or to withhold or withdraw consent to,
24 any and all types of medical care, treatment or procedures
25 relating to the physical or mental health of the principal,
26 including any medication program, surgical procedures,

HB3249 Enrolled- 2091 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b
1 life-sustaining treatment or provision of food and fluids
2 for the principal.
3 (2) The agent is authorized to admit the principal to
4 or discharge the principal from any and all types of
5 hospitals, institutions, homes, residential or nursing
6 facilities, treatment centers and other health care
7 institutions providing personal care or treatment for any
8 type of physical or mental condition. The agent shall have
9 the same right to visit the principal in the hospital or
10 other institution as is granted to a spouse or adult child
