8or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
9subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
10of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
11facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
12hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act

2any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
3such child or family to services available from other agencies
4in the community, even if the report is determined to be
5unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
6are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
7reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such
8services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide
9services to any child or family after completion of a family
10assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
11under the "differential response program" provided for in

17as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
18requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
19Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
20be committed to the Department by any court without the
21approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the

16minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
17reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
18of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis exists
19when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
20dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
21circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
22delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to attend
23any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of the
24Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
25hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
26release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.

8services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the
9child. The Department may offer services to any family whether
10or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected
11Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or
12family to services available from other agencies in the
13community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are
14reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
15reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
16these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop
17and implement a public information campaign to alert health and
18social service providers and the general public about these
19special family preservation services. The nature and scope of
20the services offered and the number of families served under
21the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be
22determined by the level of funding that the Department annually
23allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental
24disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,
25including, but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,
26as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and

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

HB5764- 153 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1Department believes that further reunification services would
2be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that
3reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The Department is
4not required to provide further reunification services after
5such a finding.
6 A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
7made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
8best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
9also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
10placement made is the best available placement to provide
11permanency for the child.
12 The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
13planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
14shall consider the following factors when determining
15appropriateness of concurrent planning:
16 (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
17 (2) the past history of the family;
18 (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
19 the family;
20 (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
21 (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
22 family to reunite;
23 (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to
24 provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
25 (7) the age of the child;
26 (8) placement of siblings.

HB5764- 154 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
2child if:
3 (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
4 custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
5 having custody of the child if the parents are not living
6 together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
7 the child is not in the custody of either parent, or
8 (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
9 parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
10If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
11guardian, custodian, or responsible caretaker, the Department
12may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
13custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
14in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian, or
15custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
16apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
17resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
18enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
19health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
20parent, guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses
21such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
22resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
23home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
24follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
255-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
26 The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities

HB5764- 155 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
2pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court
3Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
4pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
5Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
6under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
7custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody
8and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as
9required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
10Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
11and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
12subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
131987.
14 The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
15custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
16examination.
17 A parent, guardian, or custodian of a child in the
18temporary custody of the Department who would have custody of
19the child if he were not in the temporary custody of the
20Department may deliver to the Department a signed request that
21the Department surrender the temporary custody of the child.
22The Department may retain temporary custody of the child for 10
23days after the receipt of the request, during which period the
24Department may cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the
25Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the
26Department shall retain temporary custody of the child until

HB5764- 156 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1the court orders otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
2the 10-day period, the child shall be surrendered to the
3custody of the requesting parent, guardian, or custodian not
4later than the expiration of the 10-day period, at which time
5the authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
6temporary custody of the child shall terminate.
7 (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
8age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
9that cares for children who are in need of secure living
10arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
11determination is made by the facility director and the Director
12or the Director's designate prior to admission to the facility
13subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
14This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is subject
15to placement in a correctional facility operated pursuant to
16Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
17child is a youth in care who was placed in the care of the
18Department before being subject to placement in a correctional
19facility and a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered
20placement of the child in a secure care facility.
21 (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age
22in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the
23Department, appropriate services aimed at family preservation
24have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the child's health and
25safety or are unavailable and such placement would be for their
26best interest. Payment for board, clothing, care, training and

HB5764- 157 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1supervision of any child placed in a licensed child care
2facility may be made by the Department, by the parents or
3guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
4Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
5payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
6in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
7training and supervision of such a child that exceed the
8average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a
9child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
10operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
11payments does not apply in cases where children require
12specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
13disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
14combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
15of such children are not available at payment rates within the
16limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
17services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by
18assignment, sale, attachment, or garnishment or otherwise.
19 (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
20welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
21sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
22minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
23subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
241987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
25provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
26yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have

HB5764- 158 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1responsibility for the development and delivery of services
2under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under
3this Section through the Department of Children and Family
4Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.
5Youth participating in services under this Section shall
6cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an
7agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the
8youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
9homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
10youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
11Department shall continue child welfare services under this
12Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
13of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
14self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The
15Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,
16readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child
17welfare services under this Section and how such services may
18be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and
19the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this
20information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations
21describing services intended to assist minors in achieving
22sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.
23 (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
24review and appeal process for children and families who request
25or receive child welfare services from the Department. Youth in
26care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and

HB5764- 159 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1foster families with whom those youth are placed, shall be
2afforded the same procedural and appeal rights as children and
3families in the case of placement by the Department, including
4the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
5that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child
6welfare agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,
7affords those rights to children and foster families. The
8Department shall accept for administrative review and an appeal
9hearing a complaint made by (i) a child or foster family
10concerning a decision following an initial review by a private
11child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who
12alleges a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An
13appeal of a decision concerning a change in the placement of a
14child shall be conducted in an expedited manner. A court
15determination that a current foster home placement is necessary
16and appropriate under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of
171987 does not constitute a judicial determination on the merits
18of an administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
19involving a change of placement decision.
20 (p) (Blank).
21 (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
22for the benefit of children any gift, donation, or bequest of
23money or other property which is received on behalf of such
24children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
25or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
26the Department.

HB5764- 160 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
2interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial
3institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
4responsible and who have been determined eligible for Veterans'
5Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance allotments from
6the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental voluntary
7payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
8payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous
9payments. Interest earned by each account shall be credited to
10the account, unless disbursed in accordance with this
11subsection.
12 In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
13Department shall:
14 (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
15 federal laws for disbursing money from children's
16 accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
17 "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
18 approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
19 Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
20 records of all disbursements for each account for any
21 purpose.
22 (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from
23 State funds for the child's board and care, medical care
24 not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and
25 utilize funds from the child's account, as covered by
26 regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,

HB5764- 161 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 disbursements from all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of
2 $13,000,000, shall be deposited by the Department into the
3 General Revenue Fund and the balance over 1/12 of
4 $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
5 (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing
6 for the child's costs of care, as specified in item (2).
7 The balance shall accumulate in accordance with relevant
8 State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child
9 or his or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
10 (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations
11encouraging all adoption agencies to voluntarily forward to the
12Department or its agent names and addresses of all persons who
13have applied for and have been approved for adoption of a
14hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names of
15such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of
16such names and addresses shall be maintained by the Department
17or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
18confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of
19the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
20adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
21such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an
22agent its duty to maintain and make available such lists. The
23Department shall ensure that such agent maintains the
24confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of
25the child.
26 (s) The Department of Children and Family Services may

HB5764- 162 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1establish and implement a program to reimburse Department and
2private child welfare agency foster parents licensed by the
3Department of Children and Family Services for damages
4sustained by the foster parents as a result of the malicious or
5negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing third
6party coverage for such foster parents with regard to actions
7of foster children to other individuals. Such coverage will be
8secondary to the foster parent liability insurance policy, if
9applicable. The program shall be funded through appropriations
10from the General Revenue Fund, specifically designated for such
11purposes.
12 (t) The Department shall perform home studies and
13investigations and shall exercise supervision over visitation
14as ordered by a court pursuant to the Illinois Marriage and
15Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption Act only if:
16 (1) an order entered by an Illinois court specifically
17 directs the Department to perform such services; and
18 (2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
19 the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its
20 reasonable costs for providing such services in accordance
21 with Department rules, or has determined that neither party
22 is financially able to pay.
23 The Department shall provide written notification to the
24court of the specific arrangements for supervised visitation
25and projected monthly costs within 60 days of the court order.
26The Department shall send to the court information related to

HB5764- 163 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1the costs incurred except in cases where the court has
2determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The court
3may order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
4 (u) In addition to other information that must be provided,
5whenever the Department places a child with a prospective
6adoptive parent or parents, or in a licensed foster home, group
7home, or child care institution, or in a relative home, the
8Department shall provide to the prospective adoptive parent or
9parents or other caretaker:
10 (1) available detailed information concerning the
11 child's educational and health history, copies of

21 individualized educational plan when the child is
22 receiving special education services.
23 The caretaker shall be informed of any known social or
24behavioral information (including, but not limited to,
25criminal background, fire setting, perpetuation of sexual
26abuse, destructive behavior, and substance abuse) necessary to

HB5764- 164 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1care for and safeguard the children to be placed or currently
2in the home. The Department may prepare a written summary of
3the information required by this paragraph, which may be
4provided to the foster or prospective adoptive parent in
5advance of a placement. The foster or prospective adoptive
6parent may review the supporting documents in the child's file
7in the presence of casework staff. In the case of an emergency
8placement, casework staff shall at least provide known
9information verbally, if necessary, and must subsequently
10provide the information in writing as required by this
11subsection.
12 The information described in this subsection shall be
13provided in writing. In the case of emergency placements when
14time does not allow prior review, preparation, and collection
15of written information, the Department shall provide such

5were approved pursuant to approved relative placement rules
6previously promulgated by the Department at 89 Ill. Adm. Code
7335 and had submitted an application for licensure as a foster

9Department shall conduct a criminal records background check of
10the prospective foster or adoptive parent, including
11fingerprint-based checks of national crime information
12databases. Final approval for placement shall not be granted if

1 Sec. 605-913 913. Clean Water Workforce Pipeline Program.
2 (a) The General Assembly finds the following:
3 (1) The fresh surface water and groundwater supply in
4 Illinois and Lake Michigan constitute vital natural
5 resources that require careful stewardship and protection
6 for future generations. Access to safe and clean drinking
7 water is the right of all Illinois residents.
8 (2) To adequately protect these resources and provide
9 safe and clean drinking water, substantial investment is
10 needed to replace lead components in drinking water
11 infrastructure, improve wastewater treatment, flood
12 control, and stormwater management, control aquatic
13 invasive species, implement green infrastructure
14 solutions, and implement other infrastructure solutions to
15 protect water quality.
16 (3) Implementing these clean water solutions will
17 require a skilled and trained workforce, and new
18 investments will demand additional workers with
19 specialized skills.
20 (4) Water infrastructure jobs have been shown to
21 provide living wages and contribute to Illinois' economy.
22 (5) Significant populations of Illinois residents,
23 including, but not limited to, residents of environmental
24 justice communities, economically and socially
25 disadvantaged communities, those returning from the
26 criminal justice system, foster care alumni, and in

HB5764- 177 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 particular women and transgender persons, are in need of
2 access to skilled living wage jobs like those in the water
3 infrastructure sector.
4 (6) Many of these residents are more likely to live in
5 communities with aging and inadequate clean water
6 infrastructure and suffer from threats to surface and
7 drinking water quality.
8 (7) The State can provide significant economic
9 opportunities to these residents and achieve greater
10 environmental and public health by investing in clean water
11 infrastructure.
12 (8) New training, recruitment, support, and placement
13 efforts are needed to connect these residents with career
14 opportunities in water infrastructure.
15 (9) The State must invest in both clean water
16 infrastructure and workforce development efforts in order
17 to achieve these goals.
18 (b) From appropriations made from the Build Illinois Bond
19Fund, Capital Development Fund, or General Revenue Fund or
20other funds as identified by the Department, the Department
21shall create a Clean Water Workforce Pipeline Program to
22provide grants and other financial assistance to prepare and

20subsection shall be reduced to 2.5%, and in the case of a
21partnership, trust or a Subchapter S corporation shall be an
22additional amount equal to 1.5% of such taxpayer's net income
23for the taxable year.
24 (d-1) Rate reduction for certain foreign insurers. In the
25case of a foreign insurer, as defined by Section 35A-5 of the
26Illinois Insurance Code, whose state or country of domicile

HB5764- 359 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1imposes on insurers domiciled in Illinois a retaliatory tax
2(excluding any insurer whose premiums from reinsurance assumed
3are 50% or more of its total insurance premiums as determined
4under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304, except
5that for purposes of this determination premiums from
6reinsurance do not include premiums from inter-affiliate
7reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
8on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
9imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
10increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
11under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
12shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
13on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
14the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
15domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
16and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
17insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
18allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on such
19income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For the
20purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate includes
21a mutual insurer under common management.
22 (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
23 shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections
24 (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at which the sum of:
25 (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign
26 insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net of all

HB5764- 360 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 credits allowed under this Act, plus
2 (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the

12 no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
13 and (d).
14 (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
15 subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
16 by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by
17 subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
18 Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
19 has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
20 subsection (d).
21 This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
22Section 250.
23 (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
24against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
25investment in qualified property.
26 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%

HB5764- 361 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
2 the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
3 service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
4 additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
5 property placed in service during the taxable year,
6 provided such property is placed in service on or after
7 July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
8 Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
9 year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
10 filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
11 Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
12 met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
13 which they file employment records with the Illinois
14 Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
15 this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
16 Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
17 law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
18 increase in base employment within Illinois over the
19 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
20 be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
21 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
22 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
23 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
24 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
25 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
26 other than the year in which the property was placed in

HB5764- 362 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
2 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
3 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
4 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
5 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
6 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
7 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
8 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
9 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
10 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
11 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
12 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
13 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
14 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
15 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
16 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
17 (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
18 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
19 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
20 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
21 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
22 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
23 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
24 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
25 the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
26 forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable

HB5764- 363 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
2 be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
3 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
4 that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
5 shall be applied first.
6 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
7 which:
8 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
9 buildings and structural components of buildings and
10 signs that are real property, but not including land or
11 improvements to real property that are not a structural
12 component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
13 lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
14 other appurtenances;
15 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
16 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
17 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
18 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
19 (e);
20 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
21 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
22 (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
23 primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
24 or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
25 on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
26 Zone established pursuant to the River Edge

HB5764- 364 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Redevelopment Zone Act; and
2 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
3 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
4 the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
5 subsection (f).
6 (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
7 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
8 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
9 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
10 assembling which changes some existing material into new
11 shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
12 this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
13 meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
14 Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
15 the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
16 property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
17 services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
18 personal property for use or consumption and not for
19 resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
20 personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
21 is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
22 taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
23 include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
24 electricity.
25 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
26 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

HB5764- 365 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 income tax purposes.
2 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
3 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
4 in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
5 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
6 date of such increase in basis.
7 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
8 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
9 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
10 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
11 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
12 any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
13 months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
14 Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
15 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
16 recomputing the investment credit which would have been
17 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
18 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
19 computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
20 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
21 purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
22 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
23 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
24 property to the extent of such reduction.
25 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
26 the basis of qualified property shall not include costs

HB5764- 366 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
2 pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
3 December 31, 2018.
4 (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
5 a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
6 credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
7 subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
8 credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
9 against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
10 Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
11 credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
12 partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
13 Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
14 promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
15 the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
16 taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
17 its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
18 that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
19 shall be irrevocable.
20 For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
21 a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
22 under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
23 of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
24 S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
25 paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
26 allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its

HB5764- 367 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
2 the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
3 corporation, determined in accordance with the
4 determination of income and distributive share of income
5 under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
6 Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
7 of Section 250.

13 in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
14 Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
15 or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
16 established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
17 Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
18 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
19 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
20 purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
21 be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
22 determined in accordance with the determination of income
23 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
24 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
25 shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
26 shall be available only in the taxable year in which the

HB5764- 368 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
2 River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
3 the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
4 the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
5 to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
6 31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
7 which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
8 of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
9 whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
10 as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
11 applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
12 following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
13 applied to the earliest year for which there is a
14 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
15 that is available to offset a liability, the credit
16 accruing first in time shall be applied first.
17 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
18 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
19 buildings and structural components of buildings;
20 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

23 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
24 (f);
25 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
26 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

HB5764- 369 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
2 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
3 (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
4 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
5 the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
6 subsection (e).
7 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
8 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
9 income tax purposes.
10 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
11 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
12 in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
13 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
14 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
15 date of such increase in basis.
16 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
17 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
18 (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
19 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
20 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
21 any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
22 or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
23 being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
24 (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
25 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
26 recomputing the investment credit which would have been

HB5764- 370 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
2 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
3 computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
4 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
5 purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
6 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
7 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
8 property to the extent of such reduction.
9 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
10 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
11 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
12 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
13 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
14 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
15 the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
16 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
17 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
18 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
19 employment for the first year in which they file employment
20 records with the Illinois Department of Employment
21 Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
22 within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
23 the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
24 times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
25 denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

6 liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
7 credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
8 carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
9 liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
10 provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
11 The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest year
12 for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits
13 from more than one taxable year that are available to
14 offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
15 first.
16 For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
17 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
18 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
19 the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
20 shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
21 determined in accordance with the determination of income
22 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
23 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.

25 Blue Collar Jobs Act (Article 20 of Public Act 101-9 this
26 amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly) shall not

HB5764- 372 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

5 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
6 taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
7 and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
8 on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
9 for the tax year in which the property is placed in
10 service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
11 liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
12 liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
13 may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
14 the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
15 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
16 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
17 tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
18 credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.

23 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
24 buildings and structural components of buildings;
25 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
26 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"

HB5764- 374 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

10 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
11 income tax purposes.
12 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
13 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
14 in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or

26 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable

HB5764- 375 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
2 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
3 been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
4 was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
5 such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
6 credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
7 the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
8 basis of qualified property resulting from a
9 redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
10 disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
11 reduction.
12 (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
13 1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
14 subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and

5credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
6carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability in
7succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under
8paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits
9shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax
10liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable year
11that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit
12shall be applied first.
13 For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S corporations,

6multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
7Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
8allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
9base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
10rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
11 Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
12subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
13because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
14and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
15liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried

18year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
19year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
20applied first to the earliest year for which there is a

6reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
7taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
8year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.

2 Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
3the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
4the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
5first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
6first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
7there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
8year that is available to offset a liability, the earliest
9credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
10carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
11after December 31, 2003.
12 (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending
13after July 1, 1990 and prior to December 31, 2003, and
14beginning again for tax years ending on or after December 31,
152004, and ending prior to January 1, 2027, a taxpayer shall be
16allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
17(b) of this Section for increasing research activities in this
18State. The credit allowed against the tax imposed by
19subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the
20qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
21this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
22corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
23liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
24federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a

HB5764- 380 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
2Internal Revenue Code.
3 For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
4means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
5credit for increasing research activities which would be
6allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
7which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
8increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
9of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
10incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
11"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
12of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
13period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
14preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
15made.
16 Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
17year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
18unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
19as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
20taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
21first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
22prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
23ending on or after December 31, 2003.
24 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
252 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
26year will be applied first against the tax liability for the

HB5764- 381 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
2remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
3applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
4liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
5credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
6following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
7that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
8than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
9credit is given was incurred.
10 No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 this
11amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
12Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
13 It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research
14and development credit under this subsection (k) shall apply
15continuously for all tax years ending on or after December 31,
162004 and ending prior to January 1, 2027, including, but not
17limited to, the period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ending
18on July 6, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 100-22) this
19amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. All actions taken
20in reliance on the continuation of the credit under this
21subsection (k) by any taxpayer are hereby validated.
22 (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.
23 (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on

26 of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed

HB5764- 382 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
2 subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
3 eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
4 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
5 Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
6 paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
7 which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
8 Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
9 Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
10 for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
11 eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
12 available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
13 party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
14 release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
15 that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
16 pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
17 Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
18 Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
19 Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and

3 a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
4 credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
5 and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
6 remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
7 that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
8 contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
9 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
10 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
11 total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
12 a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
13 shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
14 allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
15 accordance with the determination of income and
16 distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
17 subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
18 (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
19 unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
20 forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
21 for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
22 term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
23 unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
24 maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
25 This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
26 which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this

HB5764- 384 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
2 offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
3 subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
4 this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
5 all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
6 was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
7 tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
8 carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
9 transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
10 chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
11 the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
12 assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
13 amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
14 the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
15 taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
16 eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
17 (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
18 shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
19 Environmental Protection Act.

1credit under this subsection claimed by a family that is the
2custodian of qualifying pupils exceed (i) $500 for tax years
3ending prior to December 31, 2017, and (ii) $750 for tax years
4ending on or after December 31, 2017. In no event shall a
5credit under this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability

7provision of law, for taxable years beginning on or after
8January 1, 2017, no taxpayer may claim a credit under this
9subsection (m) if the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for the
10taxable year exceeds (i) $500,000, in the case of spouses
11filing a joint federal tax return or (ii) $250,000, in the case

26 the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is

HB5764- 387 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
2 related party caused or contributed to, in any material
3 respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or under

6 Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to credit
7 availability for purposes of this Section shall be made
8 consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution Control

3 offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
4 subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
5 this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
6 all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
7 was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
8 tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
9 carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
10 transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
11 chain of title for the site and provide written notice to

13imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
14increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
15under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
16shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
17on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for

HB5764- 399 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections

3 (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign

5 credits allowed under this Act, plus
6 (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the

HB5764- 400 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
2against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
3investment in qualified property.
4 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
5 of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
6 the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
7 service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
8 additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
9 property placed in service during the taxable year,
10 provided such property is placed in service on or after
11 July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
12 Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
13 year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
14 filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
15 Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
16 met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
17 which they file employment records with the Illinois
18 Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
19 this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
20 Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
21 law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
22 increase in base employment within Illinois over the
23 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
24 be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
25 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
26 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall

HB5764- 401 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
2 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
3 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
4 other than the year in which the property was placed in
5 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
6 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
7 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
8 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
9 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
10 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
11 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
12 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
13 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
14 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
15 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
16 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
17 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
18 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
19 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
20 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
21 (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
22 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
23 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
24 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
25 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
26 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,

HB5764- 402 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
2 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
3 the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
4 forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
5 years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
6 be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
7 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
8 that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
9 shall be applied first.
10 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
11 which:
12 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
13 buildings and structural components of buildings and
14 signs that are real property, but not including land or
15 improvements to real property that are not a structural
16 component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
17 lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
18 other appurtenances;
19 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
20 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
21 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
22 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
23 (e);
24 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
25 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
26 (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is

HB5764- 403 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
2 or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
3 on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
4 Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
5 Redevelopment Zone Act; and
6 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
7 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
8 the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
9 subsection (f).
10 (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
11 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
12 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
13 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
14 assembling which changes some existing material into new
15 shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
16 this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
17 meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
18 Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
19 the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
20 property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
21 services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
22 personal property for use or consumption and not for
23 resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
24 personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
25 is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
26 taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not

HB5764- 404 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
2 electricity.
3 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
4 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
5 income tax purposes.
6 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
7 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
8 in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
9 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
10 date of such increase in basis.
11 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
12 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
13 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
14 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
15 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
16 any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
17 months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
18 Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
19 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
20 recomputing the investment credit which would have been
21 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
22 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
23 computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
24 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
25 purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
26 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the

HB5764- 405 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
2 property to the extent of such reduction.
3 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
4 the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
5 incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
6 pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
7 December 31, 2018.
8 (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
9 a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
10 credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
11 subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
12 credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
13 against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
14 Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
15 credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
16 partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
17 Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
18 promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
19 the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
20 taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
21 its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
22 that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
23 shall be irrevocable.
24 For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
25 a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
26 under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)

HB5764- 406 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
2 S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
3 paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
4 allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
5 share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
6 the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
7 corporation, determined in accordance with the
8 determination of income and distributive share of income
9 under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
10 Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
11 of Section 250.

17 in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
18 Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
19 or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
20 established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
21 Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
22 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
23 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
24 purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
25 be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
26 determined in accordance with the determination of income

HB5764- 407 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
2 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
3 shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
4 shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
5 property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
6 River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
7 the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
8 the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
9 to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
10 31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
11 which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
12 of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
13 whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
14 as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
15 applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
16 following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
17 applied to the earliest year for which there is a
18 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
19 that is available to offset a liability, the credit
20 accruing first in time shall be applied first.
21 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
22 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
23 buildings and structural components of buildings;
24 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
25 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
26 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not

HB5764- 408 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
2 (f);
3 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
4 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
5 (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
6 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
7 (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
8 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
9 the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
10 subsection (e).
11 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
12 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
13 income tax purposes.
14 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
15 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
16 in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
17 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
18 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
19 date of such increase in basis.
20 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
21 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
22 (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
23 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
24 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
25 any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
26 or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after

HB5764- 409 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
2 (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
3 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
4 recomputing the investment credit which would have been
5 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
6 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
7 computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
8 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
9 purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
10 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
11 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
12 property to the extent of such reduction.
13 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
14 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
15 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
16 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
17 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
18 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
19 the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
20 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
21 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
22 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
23 employment for the first year in which they file employment
24 records with the Illinois Department of Employment
25 Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
26 within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,

HB5764- 410 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
2 times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
3 denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

7 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
8 Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
9 The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
10 liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
11 credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
12 carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
13 liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
14 provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
15 The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest year
16 for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits
17 from more than one taxable year that are available to
18 offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied
19 first.
20 For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
21 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
22 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
23 the purposes of federal and State income taxation, there
24 shall be allowed a credit under this Section to be
25 determined in accordance with the determination of income
26 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704

HB5764- 411 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.

16 Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
17 property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
18 minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
19 subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois

HB5764- 412 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. The
2 credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in the
3 taxable year in which such investments have been completed.
4 The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
5 investment by a designated high impact business authorized
6 under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
7 Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable
8 year in which the property is placed in service and shall
9 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
10 taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
11 and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
12 on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
13 for the tax year in which the property is placed in
14 service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
15 liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
16 liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
17 may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
18 the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
19 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
20 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
21 tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
22 credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
23 Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
24 88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
25 reflect existing law.
26 (2) The term qualified property means property which:

HB5764- 413 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
2 buildings and structural components of buildings;
3 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

6 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
7 (h);
8 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
9 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
10 (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
11 Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
12 Section.
13 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
14 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
15 income tax purposes.
16 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
17 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
18 in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
19 Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
20 such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
21 the date of such increase in basis.
22 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
23 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
24 (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
25 December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified

1 after being placed in service, or the situs of any
2 qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
3 months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
4 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
5 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
6 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
7 been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
8 was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
9 such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
10 credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
11 the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
12 basis of qualified property resulting from a
13 redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
14 disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
15 reduction.
16 (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
17 1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
18 subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
19 the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
20 the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
21 18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
22 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
23 for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its

7 The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
8liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
9credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
10carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability in
11succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under
12paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits
13shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax
14liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable year
15that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit
16shall be applied first.
17 For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S corporations,
18and owners of limited liability companies, if the liability
19company is treated as a partnership for the purposes of federal
20and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a credit

10multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
11Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
12allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
13base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
14rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
15 Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
16subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
17because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
18and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original

20forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
21(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
22year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
23year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be

3 If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
41986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
5Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this

11taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
12year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.

8the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
9first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
10first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
11there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
12year that is available to offset a liability, the earliest
13credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
14carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
15after December 31, 2003.
16 (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending
17after July 1, 1990 and prior to December 31, 2003, and

22State. The credit allowed against the tax imposed by
23subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the

3credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
4with the determination of income and distributive share of
5income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
6Internal Revenue Code.

8means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
9credit for increasing research activities which would be
10allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
11which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
12increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
13of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
14incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
15"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
16of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
17period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
18preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
19made.
20 Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
21year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
22unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
23as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
24taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
25first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
26prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year

HB5764- 420 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1ending on or after December 31, 2003.
2 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
32 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
4year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
5given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
6remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
7applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
8liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
9credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
10following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
11that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
12than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
13credit is given was incurred.
14 No inference shall be drawn from Public Act 91-644 this
15amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly in construing this
16Section for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1999.
17 It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research
18and development credit under this subsection (k) shall apply

22on July 6, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 100-22) this
23amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. All actions taken
24in reliance on the continuation of the credit under this
25subsection (k) by any taxpayer are hereby validated.
26 (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit.

HB5764- 421 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

3 credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
4 of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed
5 eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
6 subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
7 eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
8 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
9 Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
10 paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for
11 which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
12 Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
13 Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
14 for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
15 eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
16 available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
17 party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
18 release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
19 that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
20 pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
21 Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
22 Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
23 Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
24 enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
25 Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
26 for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with

HB5764- 422 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
2 includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
3 succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
4 and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
5 deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
6 Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being
7 a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
8 credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
9 and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
10 remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except
11 that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
12 contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
13 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
14 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
15 total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
16 a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
17 shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
18 allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
19 accordance with the determination of income and
20 distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
21 subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
22 (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
23 unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
24 forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
25 for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
26 term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of

HB5764- 423 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
2 maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
3 This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
4 which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
5 subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
6 offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
7 subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
8 this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
9 all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
10 was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
11 tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
12 carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
13 transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
14 chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
15 the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
16 assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
17 amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
18 the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
19 taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
20 eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
21 (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
22 shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
23 Environmental Protection Act.

1against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this
2Section for qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of
3the qualifying pupils. The credit shall be equal to 25% of
4qualified education expenses, but in no event may the total
5credit under this subsection claimed by a family that is the
6custodian of qualifying pupils exceed (i) $500 for tax years
7ending prior to December 31, 2017, and (ii) $750 for tax years
8ending on or after December 31, 2017. In no event shall a
9credit under this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability
10under this Act to less than zero. Notwithstanding any other
11provision of law, for taxable years beginning on or after
12January 1, 2017, no taxpayer may claim a credit under this
13subsection (m) if the taxpayer's adjusted gross income for the
14taxable year exceeds (i) $500,000, in the case of spouses
15filing a joint federal tax return or (ii) $250,000, in the case

18 imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
19 certain amounts paid for unreimbursed eligible remediation
20 costs, as specified in this subsection. For purposes of
21 this Section, "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs"
22 means costs approved by the Illinois Environmental
23 Protection Agency ("Agency") under Section 58.14a of the
24 Environmental Protection Act that were paid in performing
25 environmental remediation at a site within a River Edge
26 Redevelopment Zone for which a No Further Remediation

HB5764- 426 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section
2 58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must
3 be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval of
4 the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is
5 not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
6 related party caused or contributed to, in any material
7 respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or under
8 the site that was identified and addressed by the remedial
9 action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
10 Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to credit
11 availability for purposes of this Section shall be made
12 consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution Control
13 Board pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure
14 Act for the administration and enforcement of Section 58.9
15 of the Environmental Protection Act. For purposes of this
16 Section, "taxpayer" includes a person whose tax attributes
17 the taxpayer has succeeded to under Section 381 of the
18 Internal Revenue Code and "related party" includes the
19 persons disallowed a deduction for losses by paragraphs
20 (b), (c), and (f)(1) of Section 267 of the Internal Revenue
21 Code by virtue of being a related taxpayer, as well as any
22 of its partners. The credit allowed against the tax imposed
23 by subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the
24 unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of
25 $100,000 per site.
26 (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is

HB5764- 427 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
2 forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
3 for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This
4 credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
5 which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
6 subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
7 offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
8 subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
9 this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
10 all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
11 was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the
12 tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
13 carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
14 transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
15 chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
16 the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
17 assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
18 amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
19 the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
20 taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
21 eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
22 (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
23 shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
24 Environmental Protection Act.
25 (o) For each of taxable years during the Compassionate Use
26of Medical Cannabis Program, a surcharge is imposed on all

2capital assets, depreciable business property, real property
3used in the trade or business, and Section 197 intangibles of
4an organization registrant under the Compassionate Use of
5Medical Cannabis Program Act. The amount of the surcharge is
6equal to the amount of federal income tax liability for the
7taxable year attributable to those sales and exchanges. The
8surcharge imposed does not apply if:
9 (1) the medical cannabis cultivation center
10 registration, medical cannabis dispensary registration, or
11 the property of a registration is transferred as a result
12 of any of the following:

20 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
21 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
22 who would be a member of the same unitary business
23 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
24 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
25 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
26 required to apportion business income under different

HB5764- 435 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification

18 with respect to such interest; or
19 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
20 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
21 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
22 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
23 following:
24 (a) the person, during the same taxable
25 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
26 to a person that is not a related member, and

HB5764- 436 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
2 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
3 person did not have as a principal purpose the
4 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
5 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
6 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
7 terms; or
8 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
9 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
10 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
11 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
12 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
13 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
14 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
15 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
16 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
17 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
18 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
19 to the application or use of an alternative method
20 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
21 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
22 Director from making any other adjustment
23 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
24 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
25 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
26 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department

HB5764- 437 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 and such regulations provide methods and standards
2 by which the Department will utilize its authority
3 under Section 404 of this Act;
4 (D-18) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
5 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
6 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
7 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
8 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
9 foreign person who would be a member of the same
10 unitary business group but for the fact that the
11 foreign person's business activity outside the United
12 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
13 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
14 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
15 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
16 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
17 from being included in the unitary business group
18 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
19 business income under different subsections of Section
20 304. The addition modification required by this
21 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
22 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
23 group for the same taxable year and received by the
24 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
25 business group (including amounts included in gross
26 income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal

HB5764- 438 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
2 Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
3 to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
4 expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
5 incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
6 apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
7 reduction to the addition modification required under
8 Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
9 subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
10 includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
11 related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
12 maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
13 or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
14 losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
15 factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
16 (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
17 (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
18 costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible
19 property" includes patents, patent applications, trade
20 names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
21 works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
22 assets.
23 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
24 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
25 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
26 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is

HB5764- 439 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
2 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
3 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
4 to such item; or
5 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
6 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
7 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
8 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
9 following:
10 (a) the person during the same taxable
11 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
12 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
13 not a related member, and
14 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
15 intangible expense or cost between the
16 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
17 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
18 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
19 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
20 or
21 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
22 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
23 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
24 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
25 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
26 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in

HB5764- 440 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 writing to the application or use of an alternative
2 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
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
8 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
9 and such regulations provide methods and standards
10 by which the Department will utilize its authority
11 under Section 404 of this Act;
12 (D-19) For taxable years ending on or after
13 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
14 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
15 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
16 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
17 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
18 business group but for the fact that the person is
19 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
20 included in the unitary business group because he or
21 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
22 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
23 addition modification required by this subparagraph
24 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
25 included in base income of the unitary group for the
26 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a

HB5764- 441 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
2 (including amounts included in gross income under
3 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
4 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
5 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
6 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
7 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
8 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
9 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
10 modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) or
11 Section 203(a)(2)(D-18) of this Act; .
12 (D-20) For taxable years beginning on or after

21 participants in its offering materials or makes a
22 public disclosure, such as a website posting; and (ii)

23 modification under subparagraph (T), then an amount
24 equal to that subtraction modification.
25 The taxpayer is required to make the addition
26 modification under this subparagraph only once with

HB5764- 463 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 respect to any one piece of property;
2 (E-12) An amount equal to the amount otherwise
3 allowed as a deduction in computing base income for
4 interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
5 indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
6 December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
7 member of the same unitary business group but for the
8 fact the foreign person's business activity outside
9 the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
10 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
11 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
12 who would be a member of the same unitary business
13 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
14 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
15 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
16 required to apportion business income under different
17 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
18 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
19 extent that dividends were included in base income of
20 the unitary group for the same taxable year and
21 received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
22 taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
23 included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
24 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts
25 included in gross income under Section 78 of the
26 Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the

HB5764- 464 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or
2 incurred.
3 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
4 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
5 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
6 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
7 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
8 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
9 with respect to such interest; or
10 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
11 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
12 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
13 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
14 following:
15 (a) the person, during the same taxable
16 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
17 to a person that is not a related member, and
18 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
19 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
20 person did not have as a principal purpose the
21 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
22 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
23 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
24 terms; or
25 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
26 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest

HB5764- 465 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
2 agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
3 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
4 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
5 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
6 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
7 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
8 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
9 if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
10 to the application or use of an alternative method
11 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
12 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
13 Director from making any other adjustment
14 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
15 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
16 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
17 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
18 and such regulations provide methods and standards
19 by which the Department will utilize its authority
20 under Section 404 of this Act;
21 (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
22 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
23 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
24 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
25 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
26 foreign person who would be a member of the same

HB5764- 466 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 unitary business group but for the fact that the
2 foreign person's business activity outside the United
3 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
4 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
5 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
6 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
7 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
8 from being included in the unitary business group
9 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
10 business income under different subsections of Section
11 304. The addition modification required by this
12 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
13 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
14 group for the same taxable year and received by the
15 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
16 business group (including amounts included in gross
17 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
18 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
19 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
20 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
21 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
22 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
23 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
24 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
25 modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
26 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term

HB5764- 467 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
2 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or
3 indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
4 ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
5 intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
6 indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
7 transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and
8 copyright fees; (4) licensing fees; and (5) other
9 similar expenses and costs. For purposes of this
10 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
11 patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
12 marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
13 similar types of intangible assets.
14 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
15 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
16 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
18 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
19 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
20 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
21 to such item; or
22 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
23 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
25 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
26 following:

HB5764- 468 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (a) the person during the same taxable
2 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
3 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
4 not a related member, and
5 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
6 intangible expense or cost between the
7 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
8 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
9 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
10 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
11 or
12 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
13 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
14 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
15 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
16 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
17 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
18 writing to the application or use of an alternative
19 method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
20 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
21 Director from making any other adjustment
22 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
23 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
24 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
25 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
26 and such regulations provide methods and standards

HB5764- 469 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 by which the Department will utilize its authority
2 under Section 404 of this Act;
3 (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
4 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
5 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
6 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
7 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
8 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
9 business group but for the fact that the person is
10 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
11 included in the unitary business group because he or
12 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
13 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
14 addition modification required by this subparagraph
15 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
16 included in base income of the unitary group for the
17 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
18 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
19 (including amounts included in gross income under
20 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
21 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
22 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
23 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
24 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
25 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
26 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition

HB5764- 470 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) or
2 Section 203(b)(2)(E-13) of this Act;

16 interest paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
17 indirectly, to the same person. This subparagraph (W)
18 is exempt from the provisions of Section 250;
19 (X) An amount equal to the income from intangible
20 property taken into account for the taxable year (net
21 of the deductions allocable thereto) with respect to
22 transactions with (i) a foreign person who would be a
23 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group but for
24 the fact that the foreign person's business activity
25 outside the United States is 80% or more of that
26 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable

HB5764- 482 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
2 who would be a member of the same unitary business
3 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
4 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
5 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
6 required to apportion business income under different
7 subsections of Section 304, but not to exceed the
8 addition modification required to be made for the same
9 taxable year under Section 203(b)(2)(E-13) for
10 intangible expenses and costs paid, accrued, or
11 incurred, directly or indirectly, to the same foreign
12 person. This subparagraph (X) is exempt from the

18 that part of a reimbursement received from the
19 insurance company equal to the amount of the expense or
20 loss (including expenses incurred by the insurance
21 company) that would have been taken into account as a
22 deduction for federal income tax purposes if the
23 expense or loss had been uninsured. If a taxpayer makes
24 the election provided for by this subparagraph (Y), the
25 insurer to which the premiums were paid must add back
26 to income the amount subtracted by the taxpayer

HB5764- 483 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 pursuant to this subparagraph (Y). This subparagraph
2 (Y) is exempt from the provisions of Section 250; and
3 (Z) The difference between the nondeductible
4 controlled foreign corporation dividends under Section
5 965(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code over the taxable
6 income of the taxpayer, computed without regard to
7 Section 965(e)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, and
8 without regard to any net operating loss deduction.
9 This subparagraph (Z) is exempt from the provisions of
10 Section 250.
11 (3) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (2)(A),
12 "gross income" in the case of a life insurance company, for
13 tax years ending on and after December 31, 1994, and prior
14 to December 31, 2011, shall mean the gross investment
15 income for the taxable year and, for tax years ending on or
16 after December 31, 2011, shall mean all amounts included in
17 life insurance gross income under Section 803(a)(3) of the
18 Internal Revenue Code.
19 (c) Trusts and estates.
20 (1) In general. In the case of a trust or estate, base
21 income means an amount equal to the taxpayer's taxable
22 income for the taxable year as modified by paragraph (2).
23 (2) Modifications. Subject to the provisions of
24 paragraph (3), the taxable income referred to in paragraph
25 (1) shall be modified by adding thereto the sum of the

HB5764- 484 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 following amounts:
2 (A) An amount equal to all amounts paid or accrued
3 to the taxpayer as interest or dividends during the

6 (B) In the case of (i) an estate, $600; (ii) a
7 trust which, under its governing instrument, is
8 required to distribute all of its income currently,

20 carryback or carryforward from a taxable year ending
21 prior to December 31, 1986 is an element of taxable
22 income under paragraph (1) of subsection (e) or
23 subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (e),
24 the amount by which addition modifications other than
25 those provided by this subparagraph (E) exceeded

11 indirectly, (i) for taxable years ending on or after
12 December 31, 2004, to a foreign person who would be a
13 member of the same unitary business group but for the
14 fact that the foreign person's business activity
15 outside the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
16 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
17 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
18 who would be a member of the same unitary business

22 required to apportion business income under different
23 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
24 required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
25 extent that dividends were included in base income of
26 the unitary group for the same taxable year and

HB5764- 488 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

10 (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
11 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
12 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
13 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
14 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
15 with respect to such interest; or
16 (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
17 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
18 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
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

HB5764- 489 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 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

16 to the application or use of an alternative method
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
25 by which the Department will utilize its authority
26 under Section 404 of this Act;

HB5764- 490 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
3 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
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
7 unitary business group but for the fact that the
8 foreign person's business activity outside the United
9 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
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
20 group for the same taxable year and received by the
21 taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
22 business group (including amounts included in gross
23 income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
24 Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
25 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
26 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom

HB5764- 491 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
2 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
3 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
4 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
5 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
6 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
7 "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
8 expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
9 direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
10 management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
11 disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
12 incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
13 transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
14 patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
15 fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
16 purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
17 includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
18 trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
19 trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
20 This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
21 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
22 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
23 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
24 subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
25 state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
26 to a tax on or measured by net income with respect

HB5764- 492 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 to such item; or
2 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
3 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
4 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
5 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
6 following:
7 (a) the person during the same taxable
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

HB5764- 493 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Director from making any other adjustment
2 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
3 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
4 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
5 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
6 and such regulations provide methods and standards
7 by which the Department will utilize its authority
8 under Section 404 of this Act;
9 (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
10 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
11 insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
12 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
13 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
14 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
15 business group but for the fact that the person is
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
24 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
25 (including amounts included in gross income under
26 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code

HB5764- 494 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
2 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
3 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
4 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
5 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
6 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
7 modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
8 Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
9 (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

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

HB5764- 508 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
2 not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
3 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
4 incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
5 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
6 evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or

9 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
10 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
11 Director from making any other adjustment
12 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
13 any tax year beginning after the effective date of
14 this amendment provided such adjustment is made
15 pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department

22 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
23 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
24 foreign person who would be a member of the same
25 unitary business group but for the fact that the
26 foreign person's business activity outside the United

HB5764- 509 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
2 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
3 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
4 the same unitary business group but for the fact that
5 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
6 from being included in the unitary business group
7 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
8 business income under different subsections of Section
9 304. The addition modification required by this
10 subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
11 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
12 group for the same taxable year and received by the

17 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
18 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
19 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
20 indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
21 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
22 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
23 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
24 this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
25 "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,
26 losses, and costs for, or related to, the direct or

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

HB5764- 511 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
2 not a related member, and
3 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
4 intangible expense or cost between the
5 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
6 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
7 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
8 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
9 or
10 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
11 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
12 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
13 taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
14 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
15 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
16 writing to the application or use of an alternative
17 method 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
25 by which the Department will utilize its authority
26 under Section 404 of this Act;

HB5764- 512 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (D-9) For taxable years ending on or after December
2 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of insurance
3 premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
4 deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
5 accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
6 person who would be a member of the same unitary
7 business group but for the fact that the person is
8 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
9 included in the unitary business group because he or
10 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
11 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
12 addition modification required by this subparagraph
13 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
14 included in base income of the unitary group for the
15 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
16 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
17 (including amounts included in gross income under
18 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
19 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
20 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
21 of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
22 directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
23 preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
24 the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
25 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) or
26 Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) of this Act;

20 of the United States; provided that, in the case of any

18 of the deductions allocable thereto) with respect to
19 transactions with (i) a foreign person who would be a
20 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group but for
21 the fact that the foreign person's business activity
22 outside the United States is 80% or more of that
23 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
24 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
25 who would be a member of the same unitary business
26 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited

HB5764- 520 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
2 unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
3 required to apportion business income under different
4 subsections of Section 304, but not to exceed the
5 addition modification required to be made for the same
6 taxable year under Section 203(d)(2)(D-8) for
7 intangible expenses and costs paid, accrued, or
8 incurred, directly or indirectly, to the same person.
9 This subparagraph (S) is exempt from Section 250; and
10 (T) For taxable years ending on or after December
11 31, 2011, in the case of a taxpayer who was required to
12 add back any insurance premiums under Section
13 203(d)(2)(D-9), such taxpayer may elect to subtract
14 that part of a reimbursement received from the
15 insurance company equal to the amount of the expense or
16 loss (including expenses incurred by the insurance
17 company) that would have been taken into account as a
18 deduction for federal income tax purposes if the
19 expense or loss had been uninsured. If a taxpayer makes
20 the election provided for by this subparagraph (T), the
21 insurer to which the premiums were paid must add back
22 to income the amount subtracted by the taxpayer
23 pursuant to this subparagraph (T). This subparagraph
24 (T) is exempt from the provisions of Section 250.
25 (e) Gross income; adjusted gross income; taxable income.

HB5764- 521 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2 (2) and subsection (b)(3), for purposes of this Section and
3 Section 803(e), a taxpayer's gross income, adjusted gross
4 income, or taxable income for the taxable year shall mean
5 the amount of gross income, adjusted gross income or
6 taxable income properly reportable for federal income tax
7 purposes for the taxable year under the provisions of the
8 Internal Revenue Code. Taxable income may be less than
9 zero. However, for taxable years ending on or after
10 December 31, 1986, net operating loss carryforwards from
11 taxable years ending prior to December 31, 1986, may not
12 exceed the sum of federal taxable income for the taxable
13 year before net operating loss deduction, plus the excess
14 of addition modifications over subtraction modifications
15 for the taxable year. For taxable years ending prior to
16 December 31, 1986, taxable income may never be an amount in
17 excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as
18 defined in subsections (c) and (d) of Section 172 of the
19 Internal Revenue Code, provided that when taxable income of
20 a corporation (other than a Subchapter S corporation),
21 trust, or estate is less than zero and addition
22 modifications, other than those provided by subparagraph
23 (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
24 subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
25 trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an
26 addition modification must be made under those

HB5764- 522 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 subparagraphs for any other taxable year to which the
2 taxable income less than zero (net operating loss) is
3 applied under Section 172 of the Internal Revenue Code or
4 under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
5 (e) applied in conjunction with Section 172 of the Internal
6 Revenue Code.
7 (2) Special rule. For purposes of paragraph (1) of this
8 subsection, the taxable income properly reportable for
9 federal income tax purposes shall mean:
10 (A) Certain life insurance companies. In the case
11 of a life insurance company subject to the tax imposed
12 by Section 801 of the Internal Revenue Code, life
13 insurance company taxable income, plus the amount of
14 distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus
15 accounts as calculated under Section 815a of the
16 Internal Revenue Code;
17 (B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case
18 of mutual insurance companies subject to the tax
19 imposed by Section 831 of the Internal Revenue Code,
20 insurance company taxable income;
21 (C) Regulated investment companies. In the case of
22 a regulated investment company subject to the tax
23 imposed by Section 852 of the Internal Revenue Code,
24 investment company taxable income;
25 (D) Real estate investment trusts. In the case of a
26 real estate investment trust subject to the tax imposed

HB5764- 523 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 by Section 857 of the Internal Revenue Code, real
2 estate investment trust taxable income;
3 (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
4 corporation which is a member of an affiliated group of
5 corporations filing a consolidated income tax return
6 for the taxable year for federal income tax purposes,
7 taxable income determined as if such corporation had
8 filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
9 for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
10 for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
11 purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate
12 taxable income shall be determined as if the election
13 provided by Section 243(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue
14 Code had been in effect for all such years;
15 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
16 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
17 organization determined in accordance with the
18 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
19 Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
20 against offsetting losses from patronage activities
21 against income from nonpatronage activities; except
22 that a cooperative corporation or association may make
23 an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
24 of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
25 event such election is made, such losses shall be
26 computed and carried over in a manner consistent with

HB5764- 524 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
2 apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
3 the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
4 for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
5 The election shall be effective for all taxable years
6 with original returns due on or after the date of the
7 election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
8 amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
9 to provide that the election shall be effective for
10 losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
11 occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,
12 the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
13 Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting
14 forth requirements for documenting the elections and
15 any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
16 used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
17 elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
18 existing law;
19 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
20 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
21 an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
22 the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
23 corporation determined in accordance with Section
24 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
25 taxable income shall take into account those items
26 which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the

HB5764- 525 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
2 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
3 a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
4 Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
5 instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
6 effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
7 corporation determined in accordance with the federal
8 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
9 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
10 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
11 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
12 income shall take into account those items which are
13 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
14 but which would be taken into account by an individual
15 in calculating his taxable income.
16 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
17 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
18 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
19 business has been classified as business income and in a
20 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
21 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
22 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
23 related to that asset or business that generated the
24 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
25 business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
26 or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois

HB5764- 526 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
2 for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
3 taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
4 computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
5 the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
6 taxable years.
7 (f) Valuation limitation amount.
8 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
9 referred to in subsections (a)(2)(G), (c)(2)(I) and
10 (d)(2)(E) is an amount equal to:
11 (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
12 amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
13 under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
14 Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
15 which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
16 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
17 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
18 capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
19 gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
20 the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
21 taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
22 such gain included in the amount determined under
23 subsection (a)(2)(F) or (c)(2)(H).
24 (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
25 (A) If the fair market value of property referred

HB5764- 527 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
2 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
3 such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
4 fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
5 determining gain) for such property on that date
6 (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
7 effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
8 and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
9 respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
10 such property.
11 (B) If the fair market value of property referred
12 to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
13 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
14 amount for such property is that amount which bears the
15 same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
16 property for federal income tax purposes for the
17 taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
18 that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
19 property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
20 full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
21 period for the property.
22 (C) The Department shall prescribe such
23 regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
24 purposes of this paragraph.
25 (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided

HB5764- 528 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
2to be deducted more than once.
3 (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
4this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
5the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
6account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
7taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
8year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
9computation of base income and net income under this Act for
10such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
11August 1, 1969 or otherwise.

1rules to enforce and administer this Section. This Section is
2exempt from the provisions of Section 250 of this Act.
3 (b) In no event shall a credit under this Section reduce
4the taxpayer's liability to less than zero. If the amount of
5the credit exceeds the tax liability for the year, the excess
6may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the
75 taxable years following the excess credit year. The tax
8credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is

10that are available to offset a liability, the earlier credit
11shall be applied first.
12 (c) No credit shall be allowed with respect to any
13certification for any taxable year ending after the revocation
14of the certification by the Department of Commerce and Economic
15Opportunity. Upon receiving notification by the Department of
16Commerce and Economic Opportunity of the revocation of
17certification, the Department shall notify the taxpayer that no
18credit is allowed for any taxable year ending after the
19revocation date, as stated in such notification. If any credit
20has been allowed with respect to a certification for a taxable
21year ending after the revocation date, any refund paid to the
22taxpayer for that taxable year shall, to the extent of that
23credit allowed, be an erroneous refund within the meaning of
24Section 912 of this Act.

17 Sec. 304. Business income of persons other than residents.
18 (a) In general. The business income of a person other than
19a resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's
20business income is derived solely from this State. If a person
21other than a resident derives business income from this State
22and one or more other states, then, for tax years ending on or
23before December 30, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
24this Section, such person's business income shall be
25apportioned to this State by multiplying the income by a

HB5764- 539 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the property
2factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the
3sales factor (if any), and the denominator of which is 4
4reduced by the number of factors other than the sales factor
5which have a denominator of zero and by an additional 2 if the
6sales factor has a denominator of zero. For tax years ending on
7or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
8this Section, persons other than residents who derive business
9income from this State and one or more other states shall
10compute their apportionment factor by weighting their
11property, payroll, and sales factors as provided in subsection
12(h) of this Section.
13 (1) Property factor.
14 (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of
15 which is the average value of the person's real and
16 tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the
17 trade or business in this State during the taxable year and
18 the denominator of which is the average value of all the
19 person's real and tangible personal property owned or
20 rented and used in the trade or business during the taxable
21 year.
22 (B) Property owned by the person is valued at its
23 original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at 8
24 times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is
25 the annual rental rate paid by the person less any annual
26 rental rate received by the person from sub-rentals.

HB5764- 540 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (C) The average value of property shall be determined
2 by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the
3 taxable year but the Director may require the averaging of
4 monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably
5 required to reflect properly the average value of the
6 person's property.
7 (2) Payroll factor.
8 (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of
9 which is the total amount paid in this State during the
10 taxable year by the person for compensation, and the
11 denominator of which is the total compensation paid
12 everywhere during the taxable year.
13 (B) Compensation is paid in this State if:
14 (i) The individual's service is performed entirely
15 within this State;
16 (ii) The individual's service is performed both
17 within and without this State, but the service
18 performed without this State is incidental to the
19 individual's service performed within this State; or
20 (iii) For tax years ending prior to December 31,
21 2020, some of the service is performed within this
22 State and either the base of operations, or if there is
23 no base of operations, the place from which the service
24 is directed or controlled is within this State, or the
25 base of operations or the place from which the service
26 is directed or controlled is not in any state in which

HB5764- 541 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 some part of the service is performed, but the
2 individual's residence is in this State. For tax years
3 ending on or after December 31, 2020, compensation is
4 paid in this State if some of the individual's service
5 is performed within this State, the individual's
6 service performed within this State is nonincidental
7 to the individual's service performed without this
8 State, and the individual's service is performed
9 within this State for more than 30 working days during
10 the tax year. The amount of compensation paid in this
11 State shall include the portion of the individual's
12 total compensation for services performed on behalf of
13 his or her employer during the tax year which the
14 number of working days spent within this State during
15 the tax year bears to the total number of working days
16 spent both within and without this State during the tax
17 year. For purposes of this paragraph:
18 (a) The term "working day" means all days
19 during the tax year in which the individual

2 behalf of the employer and a greater amount of
3 time on that day is spent by the individual
4 performing duties on behalf of the employer
5 within this State, without regard to time spent
6 traveling, than is spent performing duties on
7 behalf of the employer without this State; or
8 (2) the only service the individual
9 performs on behalf of the employer on that day
10 is traveling to a destination within this
11 State, and the individual arrives on that day.
12 (c) Working days spent within this State do not
13 include any day in which the employee is performing
14 services in this State during a disaster period
15 solely in response to a request made to his or her
16 employer by the government of this State, by any

23 determination. If the information is not readily
24 available, then the taxpayer may use any other
25 reasonable and consistent method.
26 (B-7) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,

HB5764- 562 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 2008, receipts from the sale of broadcasting services are
2 in this State if the broadcasting services are received in
3 this State. For purposes of this paragraph (B-7), the
4 following terms have the following meanings:
5 "Advertising revenue" means consideration received
6 by the taxpayer in exchange for broadcasting services
7 or allowing the broadcasting of commercials or
8 announcements in connection with the broadcasting of
9 film or radio programming, from sponsorships of the
10 programming, or from product placements in the
11 programming.
12 "Audience factor" means the ratio that the
13 audience or subscribers located in this State of a
14 station, a network, or a cable system bears to the
15 total audience or total subscribers for that station,
16 network, or cable system. The audience factor for film
17 or radio programming shall be determined by reference
18 to the books and records of the taxpayer or by
19 reference to published rating statistics provided the
20 method used by the taxpayer is consistently used from
21 year to year for this purpose and fairly represents the
22 taxpayer's activity in this State.
23 "Broadcast" or "broadcasting" or "broadcasting
24 services" means the transmission or provision of film
25 or radio programming, whether through the public
26 airwaves, by cable, by direct or indirect satellite

HB5764- 563 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 transmission, or by any other means of communication,
2 either through a station, a network, or a cable system.
3 "Film" or "film programming" means the broadcast
4 on television of any and all performances, events, or
5 productions, including, but not limited to, news,
6 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
7 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
8 live or through the use of video tape, disc, or any
9 other type of format or medium. Each episode of a
10 series of films produced for television shall
11 constitute separate "film" notwithstanding that the
12 series relates to the same principal subject and is
13 produced during one or more tax periods.
14 "Radio" or "radio programming" means the broadcast
15 on radio of any and all performances, events, or
16 productions, including, but not limited to, news,
17 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
18 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
19 live or through the use of an audio tape, disc, or any
20 other format or medium. Each episode in a series of
21 radio programming produced for radio broadcast shall
22 constitute a separate "radio programming"
23 notwithstanding that the series relates to the same
24 principal subject and is produced during one or more
25 tax periods.
26 (i) In the case of advertising revenue from

HB5764- 564 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 broadcasting, the customer is the advertiser and
2 the service is received in this State if the
3 commercial domicile of the advertiser is in this
4 State.
5 (ii) In the case where film or radio
6 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
7 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
8 received from the recipient of the broadcast, the
9 portion of the service that is received in this
10 State is measured by the portion of the recipients
11 of the broadcast located in this State.
12 Accordingly, the fee or other remuneration for
13 such service that is included in the Illinois
14 numerator of the sales factor is the total of those
15 fees or other remuneration received from
16 recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this
17 paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location
18 of the recipients of its broadcast using the
19 address of the recipient shown in its contracts
20 with the recipient or using the billing address of
21 the recipient in the taxpayer's records.
22 (iii) In the case where film or radio
23 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
24 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
25 from the person providing the programming, the
26 portion of the broadcast service that is received

HB5764- 565 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 by such station, network, or cable system in this
2 State is measured by the portion of recipients of
3 the broadcast located in this State. Accordingly,
4 the amount of revenue related to such an
5 arrangement that is included in the Illinois
6 numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or
7 other total remuneration from the person providing
8 the programming related to that broadcast
9 multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
10 that broadcast.
11 (iv) In the case where film or radio
12 programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a
13 network or station to a customer for broadcast in
14 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
15 customer the broadcasting service is received at
16 the location of the office of the customer from
17 which the services were ordered in the regular
18 course of the customer's trade or business.
19 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
20 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
21 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
22 revenue from such customers who receive the
23 broadcasting service in Illinois.
24 (v) In the case where film or radio programming
25 is provided by a taxpayer that is not a network or
26 station to another person for broadcasting in

HB5764- 566 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
2 person, the broadcasting service is received at
3 the location of the office of the customer from
4 which the services were ordered in the regular
5 course of the customer's trade or business.
6 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
7 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
8 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
9 revenue from such customers who receive the
10 broadcasting service in Illinois.
11 (B-8) Gross receipts from winnings under the Illinois
12 Lottery Law from the assignment of a prize under Section
13 13.1 of the Illinois Lottery Law are received in this
14 State. This paragraph (B-8) applies only to taxable years
15 ending on or after December 31, 2013.
16 (B-9) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
17 2019, gross receipts from winnings from pari-mutuel
18 wagering conducted at a wagering facility licensed under
19 the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 or from winnings from
20 gambling games conducted on a riverboat or in a casino or
21 organization gaming facility licensed under the Illinois
22 Gambling Act are in this State.
23 (C) For taxable years ending before December 31, 2008,
24 sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1),
25 (B-2), and (B-8) are in this State if:
26 (i) The income-producing activity is performed in

HB5764- 567 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 this State; or
2 (ii) The income-producing activity is performed
3 both within and without this State and a greater
4 proportion of the income-producing activity is
5 performed within this State than without this State,
6 based on performance costs.
7 (C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
8 2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B),
9 (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if any of
10 the following criteria are met:
11 (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property
12 are in this State if the property is located in this
13 State.
14 (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible
15 personal property are in this State if the property is
16 located in this State during the rental period. Sales
17 from the lease or rental of tangible personal property
18 that is characteristically moving property, including,
19 but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock,
20 aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this
21 State to the extent that the property is used in this
22 State.
23 (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not
24 less than zero) and other items of income from
25 intangible personal property, the sale is in this State
26 if:

HB5764- 568 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer
2 in the item of intangible personal property within
3 the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue
4 Code, the income or gain is received from a
5 customer in this State. For purposes of this
6 subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the
7 customer is an individual, trust or estate who is a
8 resident of this State and, for all other
9 customers, if the customer's commercial domicile
10 is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual
11 knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile
12 of a customer during a taxable year, the customer
13 shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if
14 the billing address of the customer, as shown in
15 the records of the dealer, is in this State; or
16 (b) in all other cases, if the
17 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
18 performed in this State or, if the
19 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
20 performed both within and without this State, if a
21 greater proportion of the income-producing
22 activity of the taxpayer is performed within this
23 State than in any other state, based on performance
24 costs.
25 (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the
26 services are received in this State. For the purposes

HB5764- 569 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 of this section, gross receipts from the performance of
2 services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
3 trust may only be attributed to a state where that
4 corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place of
5 business. If the state where the services are received
6 is not readily determinable or is a state where the
7 corporation, partnership, or trust receiving the
8 service does not have a fixed place of business, the
9 services shall be deemed to be received at the location
10 of the office of the customer from which the services
11 were ordered in the regular course of the customer's
12 trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be
13 determined, the services shall be deemed to be received
14 at the office of the customer to which the services are
15 billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in
16 which the services are received, the sale must be
17 excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of
18 the sales factor. The Department shall adopt rules
19 prescribing where specific types of service are
20 received, including, but not limited to, publishing,
21 and utility service.
22 (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
23 1995, the following items of income shall not be included
24 in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor:
25 dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the
26 Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in

HB5764- 570 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
2 shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
3 construing this Section for taxable years ending before
4 December 31, 1995.
5 (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years
6 ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that a
7 taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
8 paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
9 in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
10 be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
11 that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for any
12 tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January 1,
13 1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions
14 of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to
15 the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent such refund is
16 the result of applying the provisions of paragraph (B-1) or
17 (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business
18 group, such election shall apply to all members of such
19 group for every tax year such group is in existence, but
20 shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during which
21 that taxpayer is not a member of such group.
22 (b) Insurance companies.
23 (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
24 paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
25 a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
26 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of

HB5764- 571 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
2 property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
3 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
4 property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this
5 subsection, the term "direct premiums written" means the
6 total amount of direct premiums written, assessments and
7 annuity considerations as reported for the taxable year on
8 the annual statement filed by the company with the Illinois
9 Director of Insurance in the form approved by the National
10 Convention of Insurance Commissioners or such other form as
11 may be prescribed in lieu thereof.
12 (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
13 written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
14 reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such
15 company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
16 such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
17 sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon
18 property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written
19 for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in
20 this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of
21 (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
22 or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for
23 reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk
24 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, premiums
25 written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or
26 risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,

HB5764- 572 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 may, at the election of the company, be determined on the
2 basis of the proportion which premiums written for
3 reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled
4 in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance
5 accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
6 proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for
7 insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
8 ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to
9 the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
10 ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by a
11 company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
12 ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
13 that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
14 taxable years, and may be altered only with the written
15 permission of the Department, which shall not be
16 unreasonably withheld.
17 (c) Financial organizations.
18 (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
19 December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
20 organization shall be apportioned to this State by
21 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
22 which is its business income from sources within this
23 State, and the denominator of which is its business income
24 from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
25 business income of a financial organization from sources
26 within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in

HB5764- 573 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
2 adjusted income of an international banking facility as
3 determined in paragraph (2):
4 (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
5 financial services rendered within this State;
6 (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
7 other securities managed within this State;
8 (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
9 customers, which are received within this State;
10 (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
11 business maintained within this State for carrying
12 debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
13 of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
14 (E) Any other gross income resulting from the
15 operation as a financial organization within this
16 State.
17 In computing the amounts referred to in paragraphs (A)
18 through (E) of this subsection, any amount received by a
19 member of an affiliated group (determined under Section
20 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code but without reference
21 to whether any such corporation is an "includible
22 corporation" under Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue
23 Code) from another member of such group shall be included
24 only to the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
25 recipient directly related thereto.
26 (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years

HB5764- 574 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 ending before December 31, 2008:
2 (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
3 international banking facility is its income reduced
4 by the amount of the floor amount.
5 (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
6 amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of
7 the international banking facility by a fraction, not
8 greater than one, which is determined as follows:
9 (i) The numerator shall be:
10 The average aggregate, determined on a
11 quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
12 loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
13 domiciled borrowers (except where secured
14 primarily by real estate) and to foreign
15 governments and other foreign official
16 institutions, as reported for its branches,
17 agencies and offices within the state on its
18 "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
19 Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
20 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
21 other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
22 minus
23 The average aggregate, determined on a
24 quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of
25 an international banking facility), as reported by
26 the financial institution for its branches,

HB5764- 575 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 agencies and offices within the state, on the
2 corresponding Schedule and lines of the
3 Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
4 taxable year, provided, however, that in no case
5 shall the amount determined in this clause (the
6 subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
7 preceding clause (the minuend); and
8 (ii) the denominator shall be the average
9 aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
10 international banking facility's loans to banks in
11 foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
12 (except where secured primarily by real estate)
13 and to foreign governments and other foreign
14 official institutions, which were recorded in its
15 financial accounts for the current taxable year.
16 (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
17 in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
18 of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
19 Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities
20 is altered so that the information required for
21 determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
22 A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution
23 shall notify the Department and the Department may, by
24 regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the
25 use of an alternative source for such information. The
26 financial institution shall also notify the Department

HB5764- 576 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 should its international banking facility fail to
2 qualify as such, in whole or in part, or should there
3 be any amendment or change to the Consolidated Report
4 of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent such
5 amendment or change alters the information used in
6 determining the floor amount.
7 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
8 2008, the business income of a financial organization shall
9 be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by
10 a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts
11 from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to
12 this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is
13 its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year.
14 "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3)
15 means gross income, including net taxable gain on
16 disposition of assets, including securities and money
17 market instruments, when derived from transactions and
18 activities in the regular course of the financial
19 organization's trade or business. The following examples
20 are illustrative:
21 (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or
22 tangible personal property are in this State if the
23 property is located in this State during the rental
24 period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible
25 personal property that is characteristically moving
26 property, including, but not limited to, motor

HB5764- 577 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile
2 equipment are from sources in this State to the extent
3 that the property is used in this State.
4 (ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
5 disposition, and other receipts from assets in the
6 nature of loans that are secured primarily by real
7 estate or tangible personal property are from sources
8 in this State if the security is located in this State.
9 (iii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
10 disposition, and other receipts from consumer loans
11 that are not secured by real or tangible personal
12 property are from sources in this State if the debtor
13 is a resident of this State.
14 (iv) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
15 disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans
16 and installment obligations that are not secured by
17 real or tangible personal property are from sources in
18 this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be
19 applied in this State. If it cannot be determined where
20 the funds are to be applied, the income and receipts
21 are from sources in this State if the office of the
22 borrower from which the loan was negotiated in the
23 regular course of business is located in this State. If
24 the location of this office cannot be determined, the
25 income and receipts shall be excluded from the
26 numerator and denominator of the sales factor.

HB5764- 578 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (v) Interest income, fees, gains on disposition,

17 included in the receipts factor as follows:
18 (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not
19 less than zero) and other income from investment
20 assets and activities from trading assets and
21 activities shall be included in the receipts
22 factor. Investment assets and activities and

8 subparagraphs.
9 (A) The receipts factor shall include the
10 amount by which interest from federal funds
11 sold and securities purchased under resale
12 agreements exceeds interest expense on federal
13 funds purchased and securities sold under
14 repurchase agreements.
15 (B) The receipts factor shall include the
16 amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
17 other income from trading assets and
18 activities, including, but not limited to,
19 assets and activities in the matched book, in
20 the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
21 transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
22 interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,
23 and losses from such assets and activities.
24 (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
25 includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
26 less than zero), and other income from investment

HB5764- 580 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 assets and activities and from trading assets and
2 activities described in paragraph (1) of this
3 subsection that are attributable to this State.
4 (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
5 gains (but not less than zero), and other
6 income from investment assets and activities
7 in the investment account to be attributed to
8 this State and included in the numerator is
9 determined by multiplying all such income from
10 such assets and activities by a fraction, the
11 numerator of which is the gross income from
12 such assets and activities which are properly
13 assigned to a fixed place of business of the
14 taxpayer within this State and the denominator
15 of which is the gross income from all such
16 assets and activities.
17 (B) The amount of interest from federal
18 funds sold and purchased and from securities
19 purchased under resale agreements and
20 securities sold under repurchase agreements
21 attributable to this State and included in the
22 numerator is determined by multiplying the
23 amount described in subparagraph (A) of
24 paragraph (1) of this subsection from such
25 funds and such securities by a fraction, the
26 numerator of which is the gross income from

HB5764- 581 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 such funds and such securities which are
2 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
3 of the taxpayer within this State and the
4 denominator of which is the gross income from
5 all such funds and such securities.
6 (C) The amount of interest, dividends,
7 gains, and other income from trading assets and
8 activities, including, but not limited to,
9 assets and activities in the matched book, in
10 the arbitrage book and foreign currency
11 transactions (but excluding amounts described
12 in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph),
13 attributable to this State and included in the
14 numerator is determined by multiplying the
15 amount described in subparagraph (B) of
16 paragraph (1) of this subsection by a fraction,
17 the numerator of which is the gross income from
18 such trading assets and activities which are
19 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
20 of the taxpayer within this State and the
21 denominator of which is the gross income from
22 all such assets and activities.
23 (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
24 this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
25 the investment or trading asset or activity is
26 assigned to the fixed place of business with

HB5764- 582 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 which it has a preponderance of substantive
2 contacts. An investment or trading asset or
3 activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
4 place of business without the State shall be
5 presumed to have been properly assigned if:
6 (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
7 regular course of its business, such asset
8 or activity on its records to a fixed place
9 of business consistent with federal or
10 state regulatory requirements;
11 (ii) such assignment on its records is
12 based upon substantive contacts of the
13 asset or activity to such fixed place of
14 business; and
15 (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
16 reflecting assignment of such assets or
17 activities for the filing of all state and
18 local tax returns for which an assignment
19 of such assets or activities to a fixed
20 place of business is required.
21 (E) The presumption of proper assignment
22 of an investment or trading asset or activity
23 provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
24 of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
25 showing by the Department, supported by a
26 preponderance of the evidence, that the

HB5764- 583 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 preponderance of substantive contacts
2 regarding such asset or activity did not occur
3 at the fixed place of business to which it was
4 assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the
5 fixed place of business that has a
6 preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
7 be determined for an investment or trading
8 asset or activity to which the presumption in
9 subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
10 subsection does not apply or with respect to
11 which that presumption has been rebutted, that
12 asset or activity is properly assigned to the
13 state in which the taxpayer's commercial
14 domicile is located. For purposes of this
15 subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
16 subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
17 commercial domicile is in the state of the
18 United States or the District of Columbia to
19 which the greatest number of employees are
20 regularly connected with the management of the
21 investment or trading income or out of which
22 they are working, irrespective of where the
23 services of such employees are performed, as of
24 the last day of the taxable year.

HB5764- 584 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (c-1) Federally regulated exchanges. For taxable years
2ending on or after December 31, 2012, business income of a
3federally regulated exchange shall, at the option of the
4federally regulated exchange, be apportioned to this State by
5multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
6is its business income from sources within this State, and the
7denominator of which is its business income from all sources.
8For purposes of this subsection, the business income within
9this State of a federally regulated exchange is the sum of the
10following:
11 (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on
12 a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is
13 located in this State.
14 (2) Receipts attributable to all other matching,
15 execution, or clearing transactions, including without
16 limitation receipts from the provision of matching,
17 execution, or clearing services to another entity,
18 multiplied by (i) for taxable years ending on or after
19 December 31, 2012 but before December 31, 2013, 63.77%; and
20 (ii) for taxable years ending on or after December 31,
21 2013, 27.54%.
22 (3) All other receipts not governed by subparagraphs
23 (1) or (2) of this subsection (c-1), to the extent the
24 receipts would be characterized as "sales in this State"
25 under item (3) of subsection (a) of this Section.
26 "Federally regulated exchange" means (i) a "registered

HB5764- 585 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1entity" within the meaning of 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(40)(A), (B),
2or (C), (ii) an "exchange" or "clearing agency" within the
3meaning of 15 U.S.C. Section 78c (a)(1) or (23), (iii) any such
4entities regulated under any successor regulatory structure to
5the foregoing, and (iv) all taxpayers who are members of the
6same unitary business group as a federally regulated exchange,
7determined without regard to the prohibition in Section
81501(a)(27) of this Act against including in a unitary business
9group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to apportion
10business income under different subsections of this Section;
11provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only if 50% or
12more of the business receipts of the unitary business group
13determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for the
14taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution, or
15clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described in
16subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
17 In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
18computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
19taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois
20apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
21for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or
22after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1) applied
23to the taxpayer.
24 (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
25before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
26furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to

HB5764- 586 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
2 (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
3 transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
4 State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
5 numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
6 this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
7 miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
8 paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
9 passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
10 for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
11 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
12 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
13 an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
14 freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the
15 person's
16 (A) relative railway operating income from total
17 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
18 Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of
19 transportation by railroad, and
20 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
21 freight transportation, in case of transportation
22 other than by railroad.
23 (2) Such business income derived from transportation
24 by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by
25 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
26 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and

HB5764- 587 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
2 everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a revenue
3 mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel of oil,
4 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified quantity of
5 any other substance, the distance of 1 mile for a
6 consideration.
7 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
8 2008, business income derived from providing
9 transportation services other than airline services shall
10 be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the
11 numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any
12 movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or
13 any other substance (other than by airline) that both
14 originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that
15 portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or
16 shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other
17 substance (other than by airline) that originates in one
18 state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or
19 jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the
20 miles traveled in this State bears to total miles
21 everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all
22 revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people,
23 goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than
24 by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the
25 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
26 fraction above referred to shall first be determined

HB5764- 588 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an
2 average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight
3 miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the taxpayer's:
4 (A) relative railway operating income from total
5 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
6 Surface Transportation Board, in the case of
7 transportation by railroad; and
8 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
9 freight transportation, in case of transportation
10 other than by railroad.
11 (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
12 2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
13 transportation services shall be apportioned to this State
14 by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
15 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
16 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
17 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile
18 is the transportation of one passenger or one net ton of
19 freight the distance of one mile for a consideration. If a
20 person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers
21 and freight, the fraction above referred to shall be
22 determined by means of an average of the passenger revenue
23 mile fraction and the freight revenue mile fraction,
24 weighted to reflect the person's relative gross receipts
25 from passenger and freight airline transportation.
26 (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are

HB5764- 589 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection
2(a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
3State by one or more members of the group, the business income
4attributable to this State by any such member or members shall
5be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
6 (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
7apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of
8subsection (h) do not, for taxable years ending before December
931, 2008, fairly represent the extent of a person's business
10activity in this State, or, for taxable years ending on or
11after December 31, 2008, fairly represent the market for the
12person's goods, services, or other sources of business income,
13the person may petition for, or the Director may, without a
14petition, permit or require, in respect of all or any part of
15the person's business activity, if reasonable:
16 (1) Separate accounting;
17 (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;
18 (3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors
19 which will fairly represent the person's business
20 activities or market in this State; or
21 (4) The employment of any other method to effectuate an
22 equitable allocation and apportionment of the person's
23 business income.
24 (g) Cross reference. For allocation of business income by
25residents, see Section 301(a).
26 (h) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998, the

HB5764- 590 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1apportionment factor of persons who apportion their business
2income to this State under subsection (a) shall be equal to:
3 (1) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998
4 and before December 31, 1999, 16 2/3% of the property
5 factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll factor plus 66 2/3% of
6 the sales factor;
7 (2) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999
8 and before December 31, 2000, 8 1/3% of the property factor
9 plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83 1/3% of the sales
10 factor;
11 (3) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
12 the sales factor.
13If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998 and
14before December 31, 2000, the denominator of the payroll,
15property, or sales factor is zero, the apportionment factor
16computed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that
17year shall be divided by an amount equal to 100% minus the
18percentage weight given to each factor whose denominator is
19equal to zero.

23 Sec. 701. Requirement and amount of withholding.
24 (a) In General. Every employer maintaining an office or
25transacting business within this State and required under the

HB5764- 591 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to withhold a tax on:
2 (1) compensation paid in this State (as determined
3 under Section 304(a)(2)(B)) to an individual; or
4 (2) payments described in subsection (b) shall deduct
5 and withhold from such compensation for each payroll period
6 (as defined in Section 3401 of the Internal Revenue Code)
7 an amount equal to the amount by which such individual's
8 compensation exceeds the proportionate part of this
9 withholding exemption (computed as provided in Section
10 702) attributable to the payroll period for which such
11 compensation is payable multiplied by a percentage equal to
12 the percentage tax rate for individuals provided in
13 subsection (b) of Section 201.
14 (a-5) Withholding from nonresident employees. For taxable
15years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, for purposes of
16determining compensation paid in this State under paragraph (B)
17of item (2) of subsection (a) of Section 304:
18 (1) If an employer maintains a time and attendance
19 system that tracks where employees perform services on a
20 daily basis, then data from the time and attendance system
21 shall be used. For purposes of this paragraph, time and
22 attendance system means a system:
23 (A) in which the employee is required, on a
24 contemporaneous basis, to record the work location for
25 every day worked outside of the State where the
26 employment duties are primarily performed; and

HB5764- 592 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (B) that is designed to allow the employer to
2 allocate the employee's wages for income tax purposes
3 among all states in which the employee performs
4 services.
5 (2) In all other cases, the employer shall obtain a
6 written statement from the employee of the number of days
7 reasonably expected to be spent performing services in this
8 State during the taxable year. Absent the employer's actual
9 knowledge of fraud or gross negligence by the employee in
10 making the determination or collusion between the employer
11 and the employee to evade tax, the certification so made by
12 the employee and maintained in the employer's books and
13 records shall be prima facie evidence and constitute a
14 rebuttable presumption of the number of days spent
15 performing services in this State.
16 (b) Payment to Residents. Any payment (including
17compensation, but not including a payment from which
18withholding is required under Section 710 of this Act) to a
19resident by a payor maintaining an office or transacting
20business within this State (including any agency, officer, or
21employee of this State or of any political subdivision of this
22State) and on which withholding of tax is required under the
23provisions of the Internal Revenue Code shall be deemed to be
24compensation paid in this State by an employer to an employee
25for the purposes of Article 7 and Section 601(b)(1) to the
26extent such payment is included in the recipient's base income

HB5764- 593 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1and not subjected to withholding by another state.
2Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, no amount
3shall be withheld from unemployment insurance benefit payments
4made to an individual pursuant to the Unemployment Insurance
5Act unless the individual has voluntarily elected the
6withholding pursuant to rules promulgated by the Director of
7Employment Security.
8 (c) Special Definitions. Withholding shall be considered
9required under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to
10the extent the Internal Revenue Code either requires
11withholding or allows for voluntary withholding the payor and
12recipient have entered into such a voluntary withholding
13agreement. For the purposes of Article 7 and Section 1002(c)
14the term "employer" includes any payor who is required to
15withhold tax pursuant to this Section.
16 (d) Reciprocal Exemption. The Director may enter into an
17agreement with the taxing authorities of any state which
18imposes a tax on or measured by income to provide that
19compensation paid in such state to residents of this State
20shall be exempt from withholding of such tax; in such case, any
21compensation paid in this State to residents of such state
22shall be exempt from withholding. All reciprocal agreements
23shall be subject to the requirements of Section 2505-575 of the
24Department of Revenue Law (20 ILCS 2505/2505-575).
25 (e) Notwithstanding subsection (a)(2) of this Section, no
26withholding is required on payments for which withholding is

HB5764- 594 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1required under Section 3405 or 3406 of the Internal Revenue
2Code.

12area. In the first year after a municipality removes a taxable
13lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property from a
14redevelopment project area established under the Tax Increment
15Allocation Redevelopment Development Act in the Illinois
16Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in the
17Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area Tax
18Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
19means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value

26preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one

HB5764- 651 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
2denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
3value of all real property in the territory under the

5For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
6extension for the last preceding levy year, except for school
7districts that reduced their extension for educational
8purposes pursuant to Section 18-206, the highest aggregate
9extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be
10used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. The
11denominator shall not include new property or the recovered tax
12increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a limiting
13rate increase has been approved at an election held after March
1421, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable limiting rate shall
15be increased by the amount of the new rate or shall be reduced
16by the amount of the rate decrease, as the case may be, or (ii)
17in the case of a limiting rate increase, the limiting rate
18shall be equal to the rate set forth in the proposition
19approved by the voters for each of the years specified in the
20proposition, after which the limiting rate of the taxing
21district shall be calculated as otherwise provided. In the case
22of a taxing district that obtained referendum approval for an
23increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the limiting rate
24for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that generates the
25approximate total amount of taxes extendable for that tax year,
26as set forth in the proposition approved by the voters; this

HB5764- 652 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1rate shall be the final rate applied by the county clerk for
2the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for tax year
32012.

1Illinois Commerce Commission's railroad safety program in
2connection with its duties under subsection (3) of Section

10in the Illinois Highway Code, as the same may from time to time
11be amended, for separation of grades, for installation,
12construction or reconstruction of crossing protection or
13reconstruction, alteration, relocation including construction
14or improvement of any existing highway necessary for access to
15property or improvement of any grade crossing and grade

3which payments from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund will be
4made, the Commission shall account for expenditures authorized
5by the orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For
6purposes of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that
7the total cost of the project is expended in the fiscal year in

9 As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
10Department of Transportation shall allot to each municipality
11its share of the amount apportioned to the several
12municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
13of such municipalities as determined by the last preceding
14municipal census if conducted by the Federal Government or

20of the municipality as determined by the last preceding census
21for the purpose of determining the allotment for that
22municipality. If the population of any municipality was not

1certified to the Department of Transportation by the clerk of
2such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be subject to

8State as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
9counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
10proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees received
11from the residents of such counties, respectively, during the
12preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State shall, on or
13before April 15 of each year, transmit to the Department of
14Transportation a full and complete report showing the amount of
15motor vehicle license fees received from the residents of each

17Department of Transportation shall, each month, use for
18allotment purposes the last such report received from the
19Secretary of State.
20 As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
21Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
22counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
23road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
24several counties in the State in the proportion which the total
25mileage of township or district roads in the respective
26counties bears to the total mileage of all township and

HB5764- 664 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
2counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
3allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
4proportion which the total mileage of such township or district
5roads in the respective road districts bears to the total
6mileage of all such township or district roads in the county.
7After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation shall be
8made for any road district unless it levied a tax for road and
9bridge purposes in an amount which will require the extension
10of such tax against the taxable property in any such road
11district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the value
12thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
13prior to the year in which such tax was levied and as equalized
14by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
15equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
16jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less. Beginning
17July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an allocation shall be
18made for any road district if it levied a tax for road and
19bridge purposes. In counties other than DuPage County, if the
20amount of the tax levy requires the extension of the tax
21against the taxable property in the road district at a rate
22that is less than 0.08% of the value thereof, based upon the
23assessment for the year immediately prior to the year in which
24the tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of
25Revenue, then the amount of the allocation for that road
26district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal

HB5764- 665 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by the
2district by 0.08%. In DuPage County, if the amount of the tax
3levy requires the extension of the tax against the taxable
4property in the road district at a rate that is less than the
5lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of the taxable property in the
6road district, based upon the assessment for the year
7immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
8as equalized by the Department of Revenue, or (ii) a rate that
9will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
10the jurisdiction of the road district, then the amount of the
11allocation for the road district shall be a percentage of the
12maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by dividing
13the rate extended by the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or
14(ii) the rate that will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per
15mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district.
16 Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
17tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
186-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
19an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
20than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
21equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
22DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
23mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
24whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a proper
25compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
26district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning in 2011

HB5764- 666 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1and thereafter, if any road district has levied a special tax
2for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and 6-603 of the
3Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in an amount that
4would require extension at a rate of not less than 0.08% of the
5value of the taxable property of that road district, as
6equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue or, in
7DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
8mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
9whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a proper
10compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
11district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment under
12this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less than
130.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
14County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
15of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
16jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
17special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
18purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
19district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment under
20this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to or
21less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then any
22allotment under this Section shall be determined by the other
23levy for road and bridge purposes.
24 Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road
25and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
26tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax

HB5764- 667 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in
2DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
3mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
4whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
5levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section and
6shall qualify the road district for an allotment under this
7Section.
8 In counties in which a property tax extension limitation is
9imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, road
10districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel tax
11allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a full
12allotment if, at the time the property tax extension limitation
13was imposed, the road district was levying a road and bridge
14tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor fuel tax
15allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable amount
16after the imposition of the property tax extension limitation.
17Any road district may in all circumstances retain its
18entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
192011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
20and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
21the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
22rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
23property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
24preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
25by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
26equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the

HB5764- 668 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
2 As used in this Section, the term "road district" means any
3road district, including a county unit road district, provided
4for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term "township or
5district road" means any road in the township and district road
6system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code. For the
7purposes of this Section, "township or district road" also
8includes such roads as are maintained by park districts, forest
9preserve districts and conservation districts. The Department
10of Transportation shall determine the mileage of all township
11and district roads for the purposes of making allotments and
12allocations of motor fuel tax funds for use in road districts.
13 Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
14counties shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment
15is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may invest
16these funds until their use is required and the interest earned
17by these investments shall be limited to the same uses as the
18principal funds.

14 Sec. 15-155. Employer contributions.
15 (a) The State of Illinois shall make contributions by
16appropriations of amounts which, together with the other
17employer contributions from trust, federal, and other funds,
18employee contributions, income from investments, and other
19income of this System, will be sufficient to meet the cost of
20maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis
21in accordance with actuarial recommendations.
22 The Board shall determine the amount of State contributions
23required for each fiscal year on the basis of the actuarial
24tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and the
25recommendations of the actuary, using the formula in subsection

HB5764- 674 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1(a-1).
2 (a-1) For State fiscal years 2012 through 2045, the minimum
3contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
4fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
5sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
6the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
7State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
8required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
9level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
10including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
11projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
12 For each of State fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the
13State shall make an additional contribution to the System equal
14to 2% of the total payroll of each employee who is deemed to
15have elected the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made
16the election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161.
17 A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that
18increases or decreases the required State contribution and
19first applies in State fiscal year 2018 or thereafter shall be
20implemented in equal annual amounts over a 5-year period
21beginning in the State fiscal year in which the actuarial
22change first applies to the required State contribution.
23 A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that
24increases or decreases the required State contribution and
25first applied to the State contribution in fiscal year 2014,
262015, 2016, or 2017 shall be implemented:

HB5764- 675 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (i) as already applied in State fiscal years before
2 2018; and
3 (ii) in the portion of the 5-year period beginning in
4 the State fiscal year in which the actuarial change first
5 applied that occurs in State fiscal year 2018 or
6 thereafter, by calculating the change in equal annual
7 amounts over that 5-year period and then implementing it at
8 the resulting annual rate in each of the remaining fiscal
9 years in that 5-year period.
10 For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
11contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
12employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
13so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at

22contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
23employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
24from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
252007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
26contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.

HB5764- 676 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
2total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is
3$702,514,000 and shall be made from the State Pensions Fund and
4proceeds of bonds sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section
57.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata
6share of bond sale expenses determined by the System's share of
7total bond proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the General
8Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010, (iii) any reduction in bond
9proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if
10applicable.
11 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the

24maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
25actuarial liabilities of the System.
26 Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of

HB5764- 677 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
2Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
3constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
4contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
5Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
6calculation of, the required State contributions under this
7Article in any future year until the System has reached a
8funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
9the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
10term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
11System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
12 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
13required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
14fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
15under this Section and certified under Section 15-165, shall
16not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required
17State contribution that would have been calculated under this
18Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
19payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
20Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
21total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
22issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of that Section
237.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is
24the same as the System's portion of the total moneys
25distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
26Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State

HB5764- 678 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
2in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
3applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
4from the sum of the required State contribution for State
5fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
6total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
7issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of
8the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year
92011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required
10under this Section.
11 (a-2) Beginning in fiscal year 2018, each employer under
12this Article shall pay to the System a required contribution
13determined as a percentage of projected payroll and sufficient
14to produce an annual amount equal to:
15 (i) for each of fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the
16 defined benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan,
17 less the employee contribution, for each employee of that
18 employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
19 the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
20 election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161; for fiscal
21 year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, the defined
22 benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, less the
23 employee contribution, plus 2%, for each employee of that
24 employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
25 the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
26 election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161; plus

HB5764- 679 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (ii) the amount required for that fiscal year to
2 amortize any unfunded actuarial accrued liability
3 associated with the present value of liabilities
4 attributable to the employer's account under Section
5 15-155.2, determined as a level percentage of payroll over
6 a 30-year rolling amortization period.
7 In determining contributions required under item (i) of
8this subsection, the System shall determine an aggregate rate
9for all employers, expressed as a percentage of projected
10payroll.
11 In determining the contributions required under item (ii)
12of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System
13on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in
14the most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is
15available at the time of the computation.
16 The contributions required under this subsection (a-2)
17shall be paid by an employer concurrently with that employer's
18payroll payment period. The State, as the actual employer of an
19employee, shall make the required contributions under this
20subsection.
21 As used in this subsection, "academic year" means the
2212-month period beginning September 1.
23 (b) If an employee is paid from trust or federal funds, the
24employer shall pay to the Board contributions from those funds
25which are sufficient to cover the accruing normal costs on
26behalf of the employee. However, universities having employees

HB5764- 680 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1who are compensated out of local auxiliary funds, income funds,
2or service enterprise funds are not required to pay such
3contributions on behalf of those employees. The local auxiliary
4funds, income funds, and service enterprise funds of
5universities shall not be considered trust funds for the
6purpose of this Article, but funds of alumni associations,
7foundations, and athletic associations which are affiliated
8with the universities included as employers under this Article
9and other employers which do not receive State appropriations
10are considered to be trust funds for the purpose of this
11Article.
12 (b-1) The City of Urbana and the City of Champaign shall
13each make employer contributions to this System for their
14respective firefighter employees who participate in this
15System pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 15-107. The rate
16of contributions to be made by those municipalities shall be
17determined annually by the Board on the basis of the actuarial
18assumptions adopted by the Board and the recommendations of the
19actuary, and shall be expressed as a percentage of salary for
20each such employee. The Board shall certify the rate to the
21affected municipalities as soon as may be practical. The
22employer contributions required under this subsection shall be
23remitted by the municipality to the System at the same time and
24in the same manner as employee contributions.
25 (c) Through State fiscal year 1995: The total employer
26contribution shall be apportioned among the various funds of

HB5764- 681 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1the State and other employers, whether trust, federal, or other
2funds, in accordance with actuarial procedures approved by the
3Board. State of Illinois contributions for employers receiving
4State appropriations for personal services shall be payable
5from appropriations made to the employers or to the System. The
6contributions for Class I community colleges covering earnings
7other than those paid from trust and federal funds, shall be
8payable solely from appropriations to the Illinois Community
9College Board or the System for employer contributions.
10 (d) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, the required State
11contributions to the System shall be appropriated directly to
12the System and shall be payable through vouchers issued in
13accordance with subsection (c) of Section 15-165, except as
14provided in subsection (g).
15 (e) The State Comptroller shall draw warrants payable to
16the System upon proper certification by the System or by the
17employer in accordance with the appropriation laws and this
18Code.

20pensions and other benefits which accrues to the System because
21of the credits earned for service rendered by the participants
22during the fiscal year and expenses of administering the
23System, but shall not include the principal of or any
24redemption premium or interest on any bonds issued by the Board
25or any expenses incurred or deposits required in connection
26therewith.

1 (g) If June 4, 2018 (Public Act 100-587) the amount of a
2participant's earnings for any academic year used to determine
3the final rate of earnings, determined on a full-time
4equivalent basis, exceeds the amount of his or her earnings
5with the same employer for the previous academic year,
6determined on a full-time equivalent basis, by more than 6%,
7the participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition
8to all other payments required under this Section and in
9accordance with guidelines established by the System, the
10present value of the increase in benefits resulting from the
11portion of the increase in earnings that is in excess of 6%.
12This present value shall be computed by the System on the basis
13of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
14actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
15of the computation. The System may require the employer to
16provide any pertinent information or documentation.
17 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
18under this subsection (g), the System shall calculate the
19amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.

1participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to
2all other payments required under this Section and in
3accordance with guidelines established by the System, an amount
4determined by the System to be equal to the employer normal
5cost, as established by the System and expressed as a total
6percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of earnings in
7excess of the amount of the salary set by law for the Governor.
8This amount shall be computed by the System on the basis of the
9actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
10actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
11of the computation. The System may require the employer to
12provide any pertinent information or documentation.
13 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
14under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
15the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
16shall specify the calculation used to determine the amount due.
17If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may, within
1830 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System in
19writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
20detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a timely

1will be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual
2actuarially assumed rate of return on investment compounded
3annually from the 91st day after issuance of the bill. All
4payments must be received within 3 years after issuance of the
5bill. If the employer fails to make complete payment, including
6applicable interest, within 3 years, then the System may, after
7giving notice to the employer, certify the delinquent amount to
8the State Comptroller, and the Comptroller shall thereupon
9deduct the certified delinquent amount from State funds payable
10to the employer and pay them instead to the System.
11 This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a participant's
12earnings to the extent an employer pays the employer normal
13cost of such earnings.
14 The changes made to this subsection (j-5) by Public Act

1determinations under this Section. The System shall not exclude
2any earnings increases resulting from a promotion when the
3promotion was not submitted by a community college. Nothing in
4this subsection (k) shall require any community college to
5submit any information to the Community College Board.
6 (l) For purposes of determining the required State
7contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
8shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
9which shall be calculated as follows:
10 As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
11assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
12that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
13assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
14gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
15year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
165-year period following that fiscal year.
17 (m) For purposes of determining the required State
18contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
19value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
20to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

22 For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
23contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
24employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments

1the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
2Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
3constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
4contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
5Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the

17State contribution that would have been calculated under this
18Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
19payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
20Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
21total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds

HB5764- 699 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
2in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
3applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
4from the sum of the required State contribution for State
5fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
6total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
7issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of
8the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year

16 defined benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan,
17 less the employee contribution, for each employee of that
18 employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
19 the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
20 election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; for fiscal
21 year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, the defined
22 benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, less the
23 employee contribution, plus 2%, for each employee of that
24 employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
25 the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
26 election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; plus

HB5764- 700 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (ii) the amount required for that fiscal year to
2 amortize any unfunded actuarial accrued liability
3 associated with the present value of liabilities
4 attributable to the employer's account under Section
5 16-158.3, determined as a level percentage of payroll over
6 a 30-year rolling amortization period.
7 In determining contributions required under item (i) of
8this subsection, the System shall determine an aggregate rate
9for all employers, expressed as a percentage of projected
10payroll.
11 In determining the contributions required under item (ii)
12of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System
13on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in
14the most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is
15available at the time of the computation.
16 The contributions required under this subsection (b-4)
17shall be paid by an employer concurrently with that employer's
18payroll payment period. The State, as the actual employer of an
19employee, shall make the required contributions under this
20subsection.
21 (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all
22pensions, retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and
23other benefits granted under or assumed by this System, and all
24expenses in connection with the administration and operation
25thereof, are obligations of the State.
26 If members are paid from special trust or federal funds

HB5764- 701 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1which are administered by the employing unit, whether school
2district or other unit, the employing unit shall pay to the
3System from such funds the full accruing retirement costs based
4upon that service, which, beginning July 1, 2017, shall be at a
5rate, expressed as a percentage of salary, equal to the total
6employer's normal cost, expressed as a percentage of payroll,
7as determined by the System. Employer contributions, based on
8salary paid to members from federal funds, may be forwarded by
9the distributing agency of the State of Illinois to the System
10prior to allocation, in an amount determined in accordance with
11guidelines established by such agency and the System. Any
12contribution for fiscal year 2015 collected as a result of the
13change made by Public Act 98-674 shall be considered a State
14contribution under subsection (b-3) of this Section.
15 (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as
16defined in paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the
17employer's normal cost of benefits based upon the teacher's
18service, in addition to employee contributions, as determined
19by the System. Such employer contributions shall be forwarded
20monthly in accordance with guidelines established by the
21System.
22 However, with respect to benefits granted under Section
2316-133.4 or 16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8)
24of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
25(rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate
26for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer

HB5764- 702 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
2the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
316-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section
416-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
5absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
6considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
7is on leave.
8 (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
9shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
10follows:
11 (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
12 employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each
13 teacher's salary.
14 (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
15 contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's
16 salary.
17The school district or other employing unit may pay these
18employer contributions out of any source of funding available
19for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
20System on the schedule established for the payment of member
21contributions.
22 These employer contributions are intended to offset a
23portion of the cost to the System of the increases in
24retirement benefits resulting from Public Act 90-582.
25 Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against
26the contributions required under this subsection (e) with

HB5764- 703 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
22002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
3employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State
4Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
5paid to teachers for that period.
6 The additional 1% employee contribution required under
7Section 16-152 by Public Act 90-582 is the responsibility of
8the teacher and not the teacher's employer, unless the employer
9agrees, through collective bargaining or otherwise, to make the
10contribution on behalf of the teacher.
11 If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
121, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
13pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
14Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
15this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
16the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
17for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and
18the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
19the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
20the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
21termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
22after May 1, 1998.
23 (f) If June 4, 2018 (Public Act 100-587) the amount of a
24teacher's salary for any school year used to determine final
25average salary exceeds the member's annual full-time salary
26rate with the same employer for the previous school year by

HB5764- 704 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1more than 6%, the teacher's employer shall pay to the System,
2in addition to all other payments required under this Section
3and in accordance with guidelines established by the System,
4the present value of the increase in benefits resulting from
5the portion of the increase in salary that is in excess of 6%.
6This present value shall be computed by the System on the basis
7of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
8actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
9of the computation. If a teacher's salary for the 2005-2006
10school year is used to determine final average salary under
11this subsection (f), then the changes made to this subsection
12(f) by Public Act 94-1057 shall apply in calculating whether
13the increase in his or her salary is in excess of 6%. For the
14purposes of this Section, change in employment under Section
1510-21.12 of the School Code on or after June 1, 2005 shall
16constitute a change in employer. The System may require the
17employer to provide any pertinent information or
18documentation. The changes made to this subsection (f) by
19Public Act 94-1111 apply without regard to whether the teacher
20was in service on or after its effective date.
21 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
22under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
23the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
24shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
25due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
26within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System

HB5764- 705 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
2detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts
3that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of
4this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth and
5attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that are
6pertinent to the applicability of that subsection. Upon
7receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System
8shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate
9the amount due.
10 The employer contributions required under this subsection
11(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
12receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
13within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
14charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
15assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
16the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
17concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
18bill.
19 (f-1) (Blank). June 4, 2018 (Public Act 100-587)
20 (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or
21salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
221, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
23require the System to refund any payments received before July
2431, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).
25 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
26(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to teachers

HB5764- 706 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1under contracts or collective bargaining agreements entered
2into, amended, or renewed before June 1, 2005.
3 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
4(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to a
5teacher at a time when the teacher is 10 or more years from
6retirement eligibility under Section 16-132 or 16-133.2.
7 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
8(f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from
9overload work, including summer school, when the school
10district has certified to the System, and the System has
11approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for
12the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the
13standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school
14district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are
15equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction
16computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
17 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
18(f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from
19a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a
20certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State
21Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification
22or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's
23previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and
24been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic
25year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase
26that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the

HB5764- 707 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1average salary paid for other similar positions in the district
2requiring the same certification or the amount stipulated in
3the collective bargaining agreement for a similar position
4requiring the same certification.
5 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
6(f), the System shall exclude any payment to the teacher from
7the State of Illinois or the State Board of Education over
8which the employer does not have discretion, notwithstanding
9that the payment is included in the computation of final
10average salary.
11 (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under
12subsection (f), the System shall exclude any salary increase
13described in subsection (g) of this Section given on or after
14July 1, 2011 but before July 1, 2014 under a contract or
15collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or
16renewed on or after June 1, 2005 but before July 1, 2011.
17Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any
18payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014
19shall be used in assessing payment for any amount due under
20subsection (f) of this Section.
21 (i) The System shall prepare a report and file copies of
22the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by
23January 1, 2007 that contains all of the following information:
24 (1) The number of recalculations required by the
25 changes made to this Section by Public Act 94-1057 for each
26 employer.

HB5764- 708 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (2) The dollar amount by which each employer's
2 contribution to the System was changed due to
3 recalculations required by Public Act 94-1057.
4 (3) The total amount the System received from each
5 employer as a result of the changes made to this Section by
6 Public Act 94-4.
7 (4) The increase in the required State contribution
8 resulting from the changes made to this Section by Public
9 Act 94-1057.
10 (i-5) For school years beginning on or after July 1, 2017,
11if the amount of a participant's salary for any school year
12exceeds the amount of the salary set for the Governor, the
13participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to
14all other payments required under this Section and in
15accordance with guidelines established by the System, an amount
16determined by the System to be equal to the employer normal
17cost, as established by the System and expressed as a total
18percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of salary in
19excess of the amount of the salary set for the Governor. This
20amount shall be computed by the System on the basis of the
21actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
22actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
23of the computation. The System may require the employer to
24provide any pertinent information or documentation.
25 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
26under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of

HB5764- 709 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
2shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
3due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
4within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
5in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
6detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a timely
7application for recalculation, the System shall review the
8application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
9 The employer contributions required under this subsection
10may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
11receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
12within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
13charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
14assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
15the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
16concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
17bill.
18 (j) For purposes of determining the required State
19contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
20shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
21which shall be calculated as follows:
22 As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
23assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
24that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
25assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
26gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal

HB5764- 710 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
25-year period following that fiscal year.
3 (k) For purposes of determining the required State
4contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
5value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
6to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

13of any pension benefit.
14 (a) As used in this Section:
15 "Eligible person" means a person who:
16 (1) has terminated service;
17 (2) has accrued sufficient service credit to be
18 eligible to receive a retirement annuity under this
19 Article;
20 (3) has not received any retirement annuity under this
21 Article; and
22 (4) has not made the election under Section 16-190.6.
23 "Pension benefit" means the benefits under this Article, or
24Article 1 as it relates to those benefits, including any
25anticipated annual increases, that an eligible person is

HB5764- 711 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1entitled to upon attainment of the applicable retirement age.
2"Pension benefit" also includes applicable survivor's or
3disability benefits.
4 (b) As soon as practical after June 4, 2018 (the effective
5date of Public Act 100-587), the System shall calculate, using
6actuarial tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board,
7the present value of pension benefits for each eligible person
8who requests that information and shall offer each eligible
9person the opportunity to irrevocably elect to receive an
10amount determined by the System to be equal to 60% of the
11present value of his or her pension benefits in lieu of
12receiving any pension benefit. The offer shall specify the
13dollar amount that the eligible person will receive if he or
14she so elects and shall expire when a subsequent offer is made
15to an eligible person. The System shall make a good faith
16effort to contact every eligible person to notify him or her of
17the election.
18 Until June 30, 2024, an eligible person may irrevocably
19elect to receive an accelerated pension benefit payment in the
20amount that the System offers under this subsection in lieu of
21receiving any pension benefit. A person who elects to receive
22an accelerated pension benefit payment under this Section may
23not elect to proceed under the Retirement Systems Reciprocal
24Act with respect to service under this Article.
25 (c) A person's creditable service under this Article shall
26be terminated upon the person's receipt of an accelerated

HB5764- 712 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1pension benefit payment under this Section, and no other
2benefit shall be paid under this Article based on the
3terminated creditable service, including any retirement,
4survivor, or other benefit; except that to the extent that
5participation, benefits, or premiums under the State Employees
6Group Insurance Act of 1971 are based on the amount of service
7credit, the terminated service credit shall be used for that
8purpose.
9 (d) If a person who has received an accelerated pension
10benefit payment under this Section returns to active service
11under this Article, then:
12 (1) Any benefits under the System earned as a result of
13 that return to active service shall be based solely on the
14 person's creditable service arising from the return to
15 active service.
16 (2) The accelerated pension benefit payment may not be
17 repaid to the System, and the terminated creditable service
18 may not under any circumstances be reinstated.
19 (e) As a condition of receiving an accelerated pension
20benefit payment, the accelerated pension benefit payment must
21be transferred into a tax qualified retirement plan or account.
22The accelerated pension benefit payment under this Section may
23be subject to withholding or payment of applicable taxes, but
24to the extent permitted by federal law, a person who receives
25an accelerated pension benefit payment under this Section must
26direct the System to pay all of that payment as a rollover into

HB5764- 713 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1another retirement plan or account qualified under the Internal
2Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
3 (f) Upon receipt of a member's irrevocable election to
4receive an accelerated pension benefit payment under this
5Section, the System shall submit a voucher to the Comptroller
6for payment of the member's accelerated pension benefit
7payment. The Comptroller shall transfer the amount of the
8voucher from the State Pension Obligation Acceleration Bond
9Fund to the System, and the System shall transfer the amount
10into the member's eligible retirement plan or qualified
11account.
12 (g) The Board shall adopt any rules, including emergency
13rules, necessary to implement this Section.
14 (h) No provision of Public Act 100-587 this amendatory Act
15of the 100th General Assembly shall be interpreted in a way
16that would cause the applicable System to cease to be a
17qualified plan under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

20 (40 ILCS 5/16-203)
21 Sec. 16-203. Application and expiration of new benefit
22increases.
23 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
24an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
25Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for

HB5764- 714 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
2to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
3effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
4however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
5the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
695-910, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, Public Act
7100-743, or Public Act 100-769, Public Act 101-10, or Public
8Act 101-49 or this amendatory Act of the 101st General
9Assembly.
10 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
11subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
12is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
13only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
14the provisions of this Section.
15 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
16identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
17funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
18increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
19 Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
20Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
21subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
22Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
23funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
24shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
25Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by a
26Public Act that does not include the additional funding

HB5764- 715 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
2Pension Division determines that the additional funding
3provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is or
4has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
5the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
6by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
7at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
8made.
9 (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
10its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
11in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
12under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
13Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
14by law.
15 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
16the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
17under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
18and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
19increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
20alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
21other person, including, without limitation, a person who
22continues in service after the expiration date and did not
23apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
24benefit increase was in effect.

3 Section 220. The Local Government Antitrust Exemption Act
4is amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
5 (50 ILCS 35/1) (from Ch. 85, par. 2901)
6 Sec. 1. (a) The General Assembly declares that it is in the
7interest of the people of Illinois that decisions regarding
8provision of local services and regulation of local activities
9should be made at the local level where possible, to the extent
10authorized by the General Assembly or the Illinois
11Constitution. It is and has long been the policy of the State
12that such decisions be made by local government units as
13authorized by State statute and the Illinois Constitution. The
14General Assembly intends that actions permitted, either
15expressly or by necessary implication, by State statute or the
16Illinois Constitution be considered affirmatively authorized
17for subsidiary units of government.
18 Inasmuch as the grant of home rule home-rule authority in
19the Illinois Constitution, Article VII, Section 6 was
20intentionally made broad so as to avoid unduly restricting its
21exercise, the scope of the home rule home-rule powers cannot be
22precisely described. The General Assembly intends that all

5 (65 ILCS 5/1-1-10) (from Ch. 24, par. 1-1-10)
6 Sec. 1-1-10. It is the policy of this State that all powers
7granted, either expressly or by necessary implication, by this
8Code, by Illinois statute, or by the Illinois Constitution to
9municipalities may be exercised by those municipalities, and
10the officers, employees, and agents of each, notwithstanding
11effects on competition.
12 It is further the policy of this State that home rule
13home-rule municipalities and , the officers, employees, and

15function pertaining to their government and affairs or (2)
16exercise those powers within traditional areas of municipal
17activity, except as limited by the Illinois Constitution or a
18proper limiting statute, notwithstanding effects on
19competition.
20 It is the intention of the General Assembly that the "State
21action exemption" to the application of federal antitrust
22statutes be fully available to all municipalities, and the
23agents, officers, and employees of each to the extent they are
24exercising authority as aforesaid, including, but not limited

1to, the provisions of Sections 6, 7, and 10 of Article VII of
2the Illinois Constitution or the provisions of the following
3Illinois statutes, as each is now in existence or may
4hereinafter be amended:
5 (a) The Illinois Local Library Act; Article 27 of the

19available to the plaintiffs shall be limited to an injunction
20which enjoins the alleged activity.
21 Nothing in this Section is intended to prohibit or limit

25 Sec. 10-1-7.1. Original appointments; full-time fire

HB5764- 742 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1department.
2 (a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow the
3provisions of Section 10-1-7.2, this Section shall apply to all
4original appointments to an affected full-time fire
5department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
6be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
7years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
897-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
9 Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
10to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
11department to which this Section applies shall be administered
12in the manner provided for in this Section. Provisions of the
13Illinois Municipal Code, municipal ordinances, and rules
14adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to
15initial hiring of firefighters in affected departments shall
16continue to apply to the extent they are compatible with this
17Section, but in the event of a conflict between this Section
18and any other law, this Section shall control.
19 A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
20administer its fire department process for original
21appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this
22Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of
23Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
24concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
25functions exercised by the State.
26 A municipality that is operating under a court order or

HB5764- 743 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1consent decree regarding original appointments to a full-time
2fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
3Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General
4Assembly is exempt from the requirements of this Section for
5the duration of the court order or consent decree.
6 Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
7(a), this Section does not apply to a municipality with more
8than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
9 (b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
10to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
11eligibles established in accordance with the processes
12established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
13the performance standards required by this Section shall be
14placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to
15an affected fire department.
16 Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
17a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
18firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new position
19or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion, death, the
20granting of a disability or retirement pension, or any other
21cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to that position
22the person with the highest ranking on the final eligibility
23list. If the appointing authority has reason to conclude that
24the highest ranked person fails to meet the minimum standards
25for the position or if the appointing authority believes an
26alternate candidate would better serve the needs of the

HB5764- 744 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1department, then the appointing authority has the right to pass
2over the highest ranked person and appoint either: (i) any
3person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
4eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5 highest
5ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number of people
6who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of eligibles
7is less than 5 people.
8 Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
9losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
10candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
11by the appointing authority provided that such action shall not
12prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in future
13examinations, including an examination held during the time a
14candidate is already on the municipality's register of
15eligibles.
16 The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
17shall be vested in the Civil Service Commission. All
18certificates of appointment issued to any officer or member of
19an affected department shall be signed by the chairperson and
20secretary, respectively, of the commission upon appointment of
21such officer or member to the affected department by the
22commission. After being selected from the register of eligibles
23to fill a vacancy in the affected department, each appointee
24shall be presented with his or her certificate of appointment
25on the day on which he or she is sworn in as a classified member
26of the affected department. Firefighters who were not issued a

HB5764- 745 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1certificate of appointment when originally appointed shall be
2provided with a certificate within 10 days after making a
3written request to the chairperson of the Civil Service
4Commission. Each person who accepts a certificate of
5appointment and successfully completes his or her probationary
6period shall be enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular
7member of the fire department.
8 For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any
9person who has been prior to, on, or after August 4, 2011 (the
10effective date of Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the
1197th General Assembly appointed to a fire department or fire
12protection district or employed by a State university and sworn
13or commissioned to perform firefighter duties or paramedic
14duties, or both, except that the following persons are not
15included: part-time firefighters; auxiliary, reserve, or
16voluntary firefighters, including paid-on-call firefighters;
17clerks and dispatchers or other civilian employees of a fire
18department or fire protection district who are not routinely
19expected to perform firefighter duties; and elected officials.
20 (c) Qualification for placement on register of eligibles.
21The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
22identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
23aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required of
24members of the fire department in order to provide the highest
25quality of service to the public. To this end, all applicants
26for original appointment to an affected fire department shall

HB5764- 746 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1be subject to examination and testing which shall be public,
2competitive, and open to all applicants unless the municipality
3shall by ordinance limit applicants to residents of the
4municipality, county or counties in which the municipality is
5located, State, or nation. Any examination and testing
6procedure utilized under subsection (e) of this Section shall
7be supported by appropriate validation evidence and shall
8comply with all applicable State and federal laws.
9Municipalities may establish educational, emergency medical
10service licensure, and other prerequisites prerequites for
11participation in an examination or for hire as a firefighter.
12Any municipality may charge a fee to cover the costs of the
13application process.
14 Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual
15enters the fire service of a municipality cannot be made more
16restrictive for that individual during his or her period of
17service for that municipality, or be made a condition of
18promotion, except for the rank or position of fire chief and
19for no more than 2 positions that rank immediately below that
20of the chief rank which are appointed positions pursuant to the
21Fire Department Promotion Act.
22 No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
23to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
24the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
25in the regularly constituted fire department of the
26municipality, except as provided in this Section. The age

HB5764- 747 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1limitation does not apply to:
2 (1) any person previously employed as a full-time
3 firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
4 (i) any municipality or fire protection district located in
5 Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
6 obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section 21
7 of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
8 municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
9 protection district,
10 (2) any person who has served a municipality as a
11 regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
12 firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time
13 that the municipality begins to use full-time firefighters
14 to provide all or part of its fire protection service, or
15 (3) any person who turned 35 while serving as a member
16 of the active or reserve components of any of the branches
17 of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National
18 Guard of any state, whose service was characterized as
19 honorable or under honorable, if separated from the
20 military, and is currently under the age of 40.
21 No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
22for employment as a firefighter.
23 No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
24political or religious opinions or affiliations. The
25examinations shall be conducted by the commissioners of the
26municipality or their designees and agents.

HB5764- 748 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 No municipality shall require that any firefighter
2appointed to the lowest rank serve a probationary employment
3period of longer than one year of actual active employment,
4which may exclude periods of training, or injury or illness
5leaves, including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar
6days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section,
7the probationary employment period limitation may be extended
8for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
9employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
10sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
11hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
12licensure.
13 In the event that any applicant who has been found eligible
14for appointment and whose name has been placed upon the final
15eligibility register provided for in this Division 1 has not
16been appointed to a firefighter position within one year after
17the date of his or her physical ability examination, the
18commission may cause a second examination to be made of that
19applicant's physical ability prior to his or her appointment.
20If, after the second examination, the physical ability of the
21applicant shall be found to be less than the minimum standard
22fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant shall not
23be appointed. The applicant's name may be retained upon the
24register of candidates eligible for appointment and when next
25reached for certification and appointment that applicant may be
26again examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical

HB5764- 749 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
2standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant
3shall not be appointed, and the name of the applicant shall be
4removed from the register.
5 (d) Notice, examination, and testing components. Notice of
6the time, place, general scope, merit criteria for any
7subjective component, and fee of every examination shall be
8given by the commission, by a publication at least 2 weeks
9preceding the examination: (i) in one or more newspapers
10published in the municipality, or if no newspaper is published
11therein, then in one or more newspapers with a general
12circulation within the municipality, or (ii) on the
13municipality's Internet website. Additional notice of the
14examination may be given as the commission shall prescribe.
15 The examination and qualifying standards for employment of
16firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
17ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
18aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall
19determine an applicant's qualification for and placement on the
20final register of eligibles. The examination may also include a
21subjective component based on merit criteria as determined by
22the commission. Scores from the examination must be made
23available to the public.
24 (e) Mental aptitude. No person who does not possess at
25least a high school diploma or an equivalent high school
26education shall be placed on a register of eligibles.

HB5764- 750 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1Examination of an applicant's mental aptitude shall be based
2upon a written examination. The examination shall be practical
3in character and relate to those matters that fairly test the
4capacity of the persons examined to discharge the duties
5performed by members of a fire department. Written examinations
6shall be administered in a manner that ensures the security and
7accuracy of the scores achieved.
8 (f) Physical ability. All candidates shall be required to
9undergo an examination of their physical ability to perform the
10essential functions included in the duties they may be called
11upon to perform as a member of a fire department. For the
12purposes of this Section, essential functions of the job are
13functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
14called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
15frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
16department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
17in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
18for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
19competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
20each applicant's physical abilities in the following
21dimensions:
22 (1) Muscular strength to perform tasks and evolutions
23 that may be required in the performance of duties including
24 grip strength, leg strength, and arm strength. Tests shall

12 The tests utilized to measure each applicant's
13capabilities in each of these dimensions may be tests based on
14industry standards currently in use or equivalent tests
15approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
16of the State Fire Marshal.
17 Physical ability examinations administered under this
18Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of proctors
19and monitors, open to the public, and subject to reasonable
20regulations of the commission.
21 (g) Scoring of examination components. Appointing
22authorities may create a preliminary eligibility register. A
23person shall be placed on the list based upon his or her
24passage of the written examination or the passage of the
25written examination and the physical ability component.
26Passage of the written examination means attaining the minimum

HB5764- 752 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

18register, an applicant's score on the written examination,
19before any applicable preference points or subjective points
20are applied, shall be at or above the minimum score set by the
21commission. The local appointing authority may prescribe the
22score to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
23register, but the score shall not be less than the minimum
24score set by the commission.
25 The commission shall prepare and keep a register of persons
26whose total score is not less than the minimum score for

HB5764- 753 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1passage and who have passed the physical ability examination.
2These persons shall take rank upon the register as candidates
3in the order of their relative excellence based on the highest
4to the lowest total points scored on the mental aptitude,
5subjective component, and preference components of the test
6administered in accordance with this Section. No more than 60
7days after each examination, an initial eligibility list shall

14candidates ranked by total score without regard to date of
15examination. No more than 60 days after each examination, an
16initial eligibility list shall be posted by the commission

21 Sec. 10-2.1-6.3. Original appointments; full-time fire
22department.
23 (a) Applicability. Unless a commission elects to follow the
24provisions of Section 10-2.1-6.4, this Section shall apply to

HB5764- 762 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1all original appointments to an affected full-time fire
2department. Existing registers of eligibles shall continue to
3be valid until their expiration dates, or up to a maximum of 2
4years after August 4, 2011 (the effective date of Public Act
597-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
6 Notwithstanding any statute, ordinance, rule, or other law
7to the contrary, all original appointments to an affected
8department to which this Section applies shall be administered
9in the manner provided for in this Section. Provisions of the
10Illinois Municipal Code, municipal ordinances, and rules
11adopted pursuant to such authority and other laws relating to
12initial hiring of firefighters in affected departments shall
13continue to apply to the extent they are compatible with this
14Section, but in the event of a conflict between this Section
15and any other law, this Section shall control.
16 A home rule or non-home rule municipality may not
17administer its fire department process for original
18appointments in a manner that is less stringent than this
19Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of
20Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
21concurrent exercise by home rule units of the powers and
22functions exercised by the State.
23 A municipality that is operating under a court order or
24consent decree regarding original appointments to a full-time
25fire department before August 4, 2011 (the effective date of
26Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the 97th General

3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
4(a), this Section does not apply to a municipality with more
5than 1,000,000 inhabitants.
6 (b) Original appointments. All original appointments made
7to an affected fire department shall be made from a register of
8eligibles established in accordance with the processes
9established by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed
10the performance standards required by this Section shall be
11placed on a register of eligibles for original appointment to
12an affected fire department.
13 Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
14a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
15firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new position
16or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion, death, the
17granting of a disability or retirement pension, or any other
18cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to that position
19the person with the highest ranking on the final eligibility
20list. If the appointing authority has reason to conclude that
21the highest ranked person fails to meet the minimum standards
22for the position or if the appointing authority believes an
23alternate candidate would better serve the needs of the
24department, then the appointing authority has the right to pass
25over the highest ranked person and appoint either: (i) any
26person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the register of

HB5764- 764 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number of people
3who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of eligibles

6losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
7candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
8by the appointing authority provided that such action shall not
9prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in future
10examinations, including an examination held during the time a
11candidate is already on the municipality's register of
12eligibles.
13 The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment

15All certificates of appointment issued to any officer or member
16of an affected department shall be signed by the chairperson
17and secretary, respectively, of the board upon appointment of
18such officer or member to the affected department by action of
19the board. After being selected from the register of eligibles
20to fill a vacancy in the affected department, each appointee
21shall be presented with his or her certificate of appointment
22on the day on which he or she is sworn in as a classified member
23of the affected department. Firefighters who were not issued a
24certificate of appointment when originally appointed shall be
25provided with a certificate within 10 days after making a
26written request to the chairperson of the board of fire and

22quality of service to the public. To this end, all applicants
23for original appointment to an affected fire department shall
24be subject to examination and testing which shall be public,
25competitive, and open to all applicants unless the municipality
26shall by ordinance limit applicants to residents of the

HB5764- 766 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1municipality, county or counties in which the municipality is

17of the chief rank which are appointed positions pursuant to the
18Fire Department Promotion Act.
19 No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
20to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
21the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
22in the regularly constituted fire department of the
23municipality, except as provided in this Section. The age
24limitation does not apply to:
25 (1) any person previously employed as a full-time
26 firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of

HB5764- 767 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (i) any municipality or fire protection district located in
2 Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
3 obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section 21
4 of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
5 municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
6 protection district,
7 (2) any person who has served a municipality as a
8 regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
9 firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time

18 No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
19for employment as a firefighter.
20 No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
21political or religious opinions or affiliations. The

26period of longer than one year of actual active employment,

HB5764- 768 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1which may exclude periods of training, or injury or illness
2leaves, including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar
3days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section,
4the probationary employment period limitation may be extended
5for a firefighter who is required, as a condition of
6employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during which time the
7sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged without a
8hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for paramedic
9licensure.
10 In the event that any applicant who has been found eligible
11for appointment and whose name has been placed upon the final
12eligibility register provided for in this Section has not been
13appointed to a firefighter position within one year after the
14date of his or her physical ability examination, the commission

17second examination, the physical ability of the applicant shall
18be found to be less than the minimum standard fixed by the
19rules of the commission, the applicant shall not be appointed.
20The applicant's name may be retained upon the register of
21candidates eligible for appointment and when next reached for
22certification and appointment that applicant may be again
23examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical
24ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
25standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant

11examination may be given as the commission shall prescribe.
12 The examination and qualifying standards for employment of
13firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
14ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
15aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall
16determine an applicant's qualification for and placement on the
17final register of eligibles. The examination may also include a
18subjective component based on merit criteria as determined by

10functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
11called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
12frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
13department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
14in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
15for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
16competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
17each applicant's physical abilities in the following
18dimensions:

12approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
13of the State Fire Marshal.
14 Physical ability examinations administered under this
15Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of proctors
16and monitors, open to the public, and subject to reasonable
17regulations of the commission.

16 Sec. 11-74.4-8. Tax increment allocation financing. A
17municipality may not adopt tax increment financing in a
18redevelopment project area after July 30, 1997 (the effective
19date of Public Act 90-258) this amendatory Act of 1997 that
20will encompass an area that is currently included in an
21enterprise zone created under the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act
22unless that municipality, pursuant to Section 5.4 of the
23Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, amends the enterprise zone
24designating ordinance to limit the eligibility for tax
25abatements as provided in Section 5.4.1 of the Illinois

HB5764- 782 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1Enterprise Zone Act. A municipality, at the time a
2redevelopment project area is designated, may adopt tax
3increment allocation financing by passing an ordinance
4providing that the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the
5levies upon taxable real property in such redevelopment project
6area by taxing districts and tax rates determined in the manner
7provided in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 each year after
8the effective date of the ordinance until redevelopment project
9costs and all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
10project costs incurred under this Division have been paid shall
11be divided as follows, provided, however, that with respect to
12any redevelopment project area located within a transit
13facility improvement area established pursuant to Section
1411-74.4-3.3 in a municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or
15more, ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon
16taxable real property in such redevelopment project area shall
17be allocated as specifically provided in this Section:
18 (a) That portion of taxes levied upon each taxable lot,
19 block, tract, or parcel of real property which is
20 attributable to the lower of the current equalized assessed
21 value or the initial equalized assessed value of each such
22 taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in
23 the redevelopment project area shall be allocated to and
24 when collected shall be paid by the county collector to the
25 respective affected taxing districts in the manner
26 required by law in the absence of the adoption of tax

HB5764- 783 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 increment allocation financing.
2 (b) Except from a tax levied by a township to retire
3 bonds issued to satisfy court-ordered damages, that
4 portion, if any, of such taxes which is attributable to the
5 increase in the current equalized assessed valuation of
6 each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
7 in the redevelopment project area over and above the
8 initial equalized assessed value of each property in the
9 project area shall be allocated to and when collected shall
10 be paid to the municipal treasurer who shall deposit said
11 taxes into a special fund called the special tax allocation
12 fund of the municipality for the purpose of paying
13 redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred in
14 the payment thereof. In any county with a population of
15 3,000,000 or more that has adopted a procedure for
16 collecting taxes that provides for one or more of the
17 installments of the taxes to be billed and collected on an
18 estimated basis, the municipal treasurer shall be paid for
19 deposit in the special tax allocation fund of the
20 municipality, from the taxes collected from estimated
21 bills issued for property in the redevelopment project
22 area, the difference between the amount actually collected
23 from each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real
24 property within the redevelopment project area and an
25 amount determined by multiplying the rate at which taxes
26 were last extended against the taxable lot, block, tract

1 track, or parcel of real property in the manner provided in
2 subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 by the initial
3 equalized assessed value of the property divided by the
4 number of installments in which real estate taxes are
5 billed and collected within the county; provided that the
6 payments on or before December 31, 1999 to a municipal
7 treasurer shall be made only if each of the following
8 conditions are met:
9 (1) The total equalized assessed value of the
10 redevelopment project area as last determined was not
11 less than 175% of the total initial equalized assessed
12 value.
13 (2) Not more than 50% of the total equalized
14 assessed value of the redevelopment project area as
15 last determined is attributable to a piece of property
16 assigned a single real estate index number.
17 (3) The municipal clerk has certified to the county
18 clerk that the municipality has issued its obligations
19 to which there has been pledged the incremental
20 property taxes of the redevelopment project area or
21 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in
22 the municipality or the full faith and credit of the
23 municipality to pay or secure payment for all or a
24 portion of the redevelopment project costs. The
25 certification shall be filed annually no later than
26 September 1 for the estimated taxes to be distributed

HB5764- 785 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 in the following year; however, for the year 1992 the
2 certification shall be made at any time on or before
3 March 31, 1992.
4 (4) The municipality has not requested that the
5 total initial equalized assessed value of real
6 property be adjusted as provided in subsection (b) of
7 Section 11-74.4-9.
8 The conditions of paragraphs (1) through (4) do not
9 apply after December 31, 1999 to payments to a municipal
10 treasurer made by a county with 3,000,000 or more
11 inhabitants that has adopted an estimated billing
12 procedure for collecting taxes. If a county that has
13 adopted the estimated billing procedure makes an erroneous
14 overpayment of tax revenue to the municipal treasurer, then
15 the county may seek a refund of that overpayment. The
16 county shall send the municipal treasurer a notice of
17 liability for the overpayment on or before the mailing date
18 of the next real estate tax bill within the county. The
19 refund shall be limited to the amount of the overpayment.
20 It is the intent of this Division that after July 29,
21 1988 (the effective date of Public Act 85-1142) this
22 amendatory Act of 1988 a municipality's own ad valorem tax
23 arising from levies on taxable real property be included in
24 the determination of incremental revenue in the manner
25 provided in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9. If the
26 municipality does not extend such a tax, it shall annually

HB5764- 786 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 deposit in the municipality's Special Tax Increment Fund an
2 amount equal to 10% of the total contributions to the fund
3 from all other taxing districts in that year. The annual
4 10% deposit required by this paragraph shall be limited to
5 the actual amount of municipally produced incremental tax
6 revenues available to the municipality from taxpayers
7 located in the redevelopment project area in that year if:
8 (a) the plan for the area restricts the use of the property
9 primarily to industrial purposes, (b) the municipality
10 establishing the redevelopment project area is a home rule
11 home-rule community with a 1990 population of between
12 25,000 and 50,000, (c) the municipality is wholly located
13 within a county with a 1990 population of over 750,000 and
14 (d) the redevelopment project area was established by the
15 municipality prior to June 1, 1990. This payment shall be
16 in lieu of a contribution of ad valorem taxes on real
17 property. If no such payment is made, any redevelopment
18 project area of the municipality shall be dissolved.
19 If a municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
20 financing by ordinance and the County Clerk thereafter
21 certifies the "total initial equalized assessed value as
22 adjusted" of the taxable real property within such
23 redevelopment project area in the manner provided in
24 paragraph (b) of Section 11-74.4-9, each year after the
25 date of the certification of the total initial equalized
26 assessed value as adjusted until redevelopment project

HB5764- 787 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 costs and all municipal obligations financing
2 redevelopment project costs have been paid the ad valorem
3 taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon the taxable
4 real property in such redevelopment project area by taxing
5 districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided
6 in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 shall be divided as
7 follows, provided, however, that with respect to any
8 redevelopment project area located within a transit
9 facility improvement area established pursuant to Section
10 11-74.4-3.3 in a municipality with a population of
11 1,000,000 or more, ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from
12 the levies upon the taxable real property in such
13 redevelopment project area shall be allocated as
14 specifically provided in this Section:
15 (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each
16 taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
17 which is attributable to the lower of the current
18 equalized assessed value or "current equalized
19 assessed value as adjusted" or the initial equalized
20 assessed value of each such taxable lot, block, tract,
21 or parcel of real property existing at the time tax
22 increment financing was adopted, minus the total
23 current homestead exemptions under Article 15 of the
24 Property Tax Code in the redevelopment project area
25 shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid
26 by the county collector to the respective affected

HB5764- 788 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 taxing districts in the manner required by law in the
2 absence of the adoption of tax increment allocation
3 financing.
4 (2) That portion, if any, of such taxes which is
5 attributable to the increase in the current equalized
6 assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract,
7 or parcel of real property in the redevelopment project
8 area, over and above the initial equalized assessed
9 value of each property existing at the time tax
10 increment financing was adopted, minus the total
11 current homestead exemptions pertaining to each piece
12 of property provided by Article 15 of the Property Tax
13 Code in the redevelopment project area, shall be
14 allocated to and when collected shall be paid to the
15 municipal Treasurer, who shall deposit said taxes into
16 a special fund called the special tax allocation fund
17 of the municipality for the purpose of paying
18 redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred
19 in the payment thereof.
20 The municipality may pledge in the ordinance the funds
21 in and to be deposited in the special tax allocation fund
22 for the payment of such costs and obligations. No part of
23 the current equalized assessed valuation of each property
24 in the redevelopment project area attributable to any
25 increase above the total initial equalized assessed value,
26 or the total initial equalized assessed value as adjusted,

HB5764- 789 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2 State aid formula, provided for in Section 18-8 of the
3 School Code, or the evidence-based funding formula,
4 provided for in Section 18-8.15 of the School Code, until
5 such time as all redevelopment project costs have been paid
6 as provided for in this Section.
7 Whenever a municipality issues bonds for the purpose of
8 financing redevelopment project costs, such municipality
9 may provide by ordinance for the appointment of a trustee,
10 which may be any trust company within the State, and for
11 the establishment of such funds or accounts to be
12 maintained by such trustee as the municipality shall deem
13 necessary to provide for the security and payment of the
14 bonds. If such municipality provides for the appointment of
15 a trustee, such trustee shall be considered the assignee of
16 any payments assigned by the municipality pursuant to such
17 ordinance and this Section. Any amounts paid to such
18 trustee as assignee shall be deposited in the funds or
19 accounts established pursuant to such trust agreement, and
20 shall be held by such trustee in trust for the benefit of
21 the holders of the bonds, and such holders shall have a
22 lien on and a security interest in such funds or accounts
23 so long as the bonds remain outstanding and unpaid. Upon
24 retirement of the bonds, the trustee shall pay over any
25 excess amounts held to the municipality for deposit in the
26 special tax allocation fund.

1 When such redevelopment projects costs, including,
2 without limitation, all municipal obligations financing
3 redevelopment project costs incurred under this Division,
4 have been paid, all surplus funds then remaining in the
5 special tax allocation fund shall be distributed by being
6 paid by the municipal treasurer to the Department of
7 Revenue, the municipality and the county collector; first
8 to the Department of Revenue and the municipality in direct
9 proportion to the tax incremental revenue received from the
10 State and the municipality, but not to exceed the total

13 incremental revenue previously made; with any remaining
14 funds to be paid to the County Collector who shall
15 immediately thereafter pay said funds to the taxing
16 districts in the redevelopment project area in the same
17 manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by
18 the county collector to the affected districts of real
19 property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
20 project area.
21 Upon the payment of all redevelopment project costs,
22 the retirement of obligations, the distribution of any
23 excess monies pursuant to this Section, and final closing
24 of the books and records of the redevelopment project area,

7 after the redevelopment project area has been terminated.
8 Municipalities shall notify affected taxing districts
9 prior to November 1 if the redevelopment project area is to

11 municipality extends estimated dates of completion of a
12 redevelopment project and retirement of obligations to
13 finance a redevelopment project, as allowed by Public Act
14 87-1272 this amendatory Act of 1993, that extension shall
15 not extend the property tax increment allocation financing
16 authorized by this Section. Thereafter the rates of the
17 taxing districts shall be extended and taxes levied,
18 collected and distributed in the manner applicable in the
19 absence of the adoption of tax increment allocation
20 financing.
21 If a municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or
22 more has adopted by ordinance tax increment allocation
23 financing for a redevelopment project area located in a
24 transit facility improvement area established pursuant to
25 Section 11-74.4-3.3, for each year after the effective date
26 of the ordinance until redevelopment project costs and all

1 municipal obligations financing redevelopment project
2 costs have been paid, the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising
3 from the levies upon the taxable real property in that
4 redevelopment project area by taxing districts and tax
5 rates determined in the manner provided in paragraph (c) of
6 Section 11-74.4-9 shall be divided as follows:
7 (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each
8 taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
9 which is attributable to the lower of (i) the current
10 equalized assessed value or "current equalized
11 assessed value as adjusted" or (ii) the initial
12 equalized assessed value of each such taxable lot,
13 block, tract, or parcel of real property existing at
14 the time tax increment financing was adopted, minus the
15 total current homestead exemptions under Article 15 of
16 the Property Tax Code in the redevelopment project area
17 shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid
18 by the county collector to the respective affected
19 taxing districts in the manner required by law in the
20 absence of the adoption of tax increment allocation
21 financing.
22 (2) That portion, if any, of such taxes which is
23 attributable to the increase in the current equalized
24 assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract,
25 or parcel of real property in the redevelopment project
26 area, over and above the initial equalized assessed

HB5764- 793 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2 increment financing was adopted, minus the total
3 current homestead exemptions pertaining to each piece
4 of property provided by Article 15 of the Property Tax
5 Code in the redevelopment project area, shall be
6 allocated to and when collected shall be paid by the
7 county collector as follows:
8 (A) First, that portion which would be payable
9 to a school district whose boundaries are
10 coterminous with such municipality in the absence
11 of the adoption of tax increment allocation
12 financing, shall be paid to such school district in
13 the manner required by law in the absence of the
14 adoption of tax increment allocation financing;
15 then
16 (B) 80% of the remaining portion shall be paid
17 to the municipal Treasurer, who shall deposit said
18 taxes into a special fund called the special tax
19 allocation fund of the municipality for the
20 purpose of paying redevelopment project costs and
21 obligations incurred in the payment thereof; and
22 then
23 (C) 20% of the remaining portion shall be paid
24 to the respective affected taxing districts, other
25 than the school district described in clause (a)
26 above, in the manner required by law in the absence

3 Nothing in this Section shall be construed as relieving
4property in such redevelopment project areas from being

12 Sec. 11-74.6-35. Ordinance for tax increment allocation
13financing.
14 (a) A municipality, at the time a redevelopment project
15area is designated, may adopt tax increment allocation
16financing by passing an ordinance providing that the ad valorem
17taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon taxable real
18property within the redevelopment project area by taxing
19districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided in
20subsection (b) of Section 11-74.6-40 each year after the
21effective date of the ordinance until redevelopment project
22costs and all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
23project costs incurred under this Act have been paid shall be
24divided as follows:
25 (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each taxable

HB5764- 795 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property that is
2 attributable to the lower of the current equalized assessed
3 value or the initial equalized assessed value or the
4 updated initial equalized assessed value of each taxable
5 lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in the
6 redevelopment project area shall be allocated to and when
7 collected shall be paid by the county collector to the
8 respective affected taxing districts in the manner
9 required by law without regard to the adoption of tax
10 increment allocation financing.
11 (2) That portion, if any, of those taxes that is
12 attributable to the increase in the current equalized
13 assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel
14 of real property in the redevelopment project area, over
15 and above the initial equalized assessed value or the
16 updated initial equalized assessed value of each property
17 in the project area, shall be allocated to and when
18 collected shall be paid by the county collector to the
19 municipal treasurer who shall deposit that portion of those
20 taxes into a special fund called the special tax allocation
21 fund of the municipality for the purpose of paying
22 redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred in
23 the payment of those costs and obligations. In any county
24 with a population of 3,000,000 or more that has adopted a
25 procedure for collecting taxes that provides for one or
26 more of the installments of the taxes to be billed and

HB5764- 796 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 collected on an estimated basis, the municipal treasurer
2 shall be paid for deposit in the special tax allocation
3 fund of the municipality, from the taxes collected from
4 estimated bills issued for property in the redevelopment
5 project area, the difference between the amount actually
6 collected from each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
7 real property within the redevelopment project area and an
8 amount determined by multiplying the rate at which taxes
9 were last extended against the taxable lot, block, tract
10 track, or parcel of real property in the manner provided in
11 subsection (b) of Section 11-74.6-40 by the initial
12 equalized assessed value or the updated initial equalized
13 assessed value of the property divided by the number of
14 installments in which real estate taxes are billed and
15 collected within the county, provided that the payments on
16 or before December 31, 1999 to a municipal treasurer shall
17 be made only if each of the following conditions are met:
18 (A) The total equalized assessed value of the
19 redevelopment project area as last determined was not
20 less than 175% of the total initial equalized assessed
21 value.
22 (B) Not more than 50% of the total equalized
23 assessed value of the redevelopment project area as
24 last determined is attributable to a piece of property
25 assigned a single real estate index number.
26 (C) The municipal clerk has certified to the county

HB5764- 797 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 clerk that the municipality has issued its obligations
2 to which there has been pledged the incremental
3 property taxes of the redevelopment project area or
4 taxes levied and collected on any or all property in
5 the municipality or the full faith and credit of the
6 municipality to pay or secure payment for all or a
7 portion of the redevelopment project costs. The
8 certification shall be filed annually no later than
9 September 1 for the estimated taxes to be distributed
10 in the following year.
11 The conditions of paragraphs (A) through (C) do not apply
12after December 31, 1999 to payments to a municipal treasurer
13made by a county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants that has
14adopted an estimated billing procedure for collecting taxes. If
15a county that has adopted the estimated billing procedure makes
16an erroneous overpayment of tax revenue to the municipal
17treasurer, then the county may seek a refund of that
18overpayment. The county shall send the municipal treasurer a
19notice of liability for the overpayment on or before the
20mailing date of the next real estate tax bill within the
21county. The refund shall be limited to the amount of the
22overpayment.
23 (b) It is the intent of this Act that a municipality's own
24ad valorem tax arising from levies on taxable real property be
25included in the determination of incremental revenue in the
26manner provided in paragraph (b) of Section 11-74.6-40.

HB5764- 798 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (c) If a municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
2financing for a redevelopment project area by ordinance and the
3county clerk thereafter certifies the total initial equalized
4assessed value or the total updated initial equalized assessed
5value of the taxable real property within such redevelopment
6project area in the manner provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of
7Section 11-74.6-40, each year after the date of the
8certification of the total initial equalized assessed value or
9the total updated initial equalized assessed value until
10redevelopment project costs and all municipal obligations
11financing redevelopment project costs have been paid, the ad
12valorem taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon the taxable
13real property in the redevelopment project area by taxing
14districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided in
15paragraph (b) of Section 11-74.6-40 shall be divided as
16follows:
17 (1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each taxable
18 lot, block, tract or parcel of real property that is
19 attributable to the lower of the current equalized assessed
20 value or the initial equalized assessed value, or the
21 updated initial equalized assessed value of each parcel if
22 the updated initial equalized assessed value of that parcel
23 has been certified in accordance with Section 11-74.6-40,
24 whichever has been most recently certified, of each taxable
25 lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property existing at
26 the time tax increment allocation financing was adopted in

HB5764- 799 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the redevelopment project area, shall be allocated to and
2 when collected shall be paid by the county collector to the
3 respective affected taxing districts in the manner
4 required by law without regard to the adoption of tax
5 increment allocation financing.
6 (2) That portion, if any, of those taxes that is
7 attributable to the increase in the current equalized
8 assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel
9 of real property in the redevelopment project area, over
10 and above the initial equalized assessed value of each
11 property existing at the time tax increment allocation
12 financing was adopted in the redevelopment project area, or
13 the updated initial equalized assessed value of each parcel
14 if the updated initial equalized assessed value of that
15 parcel has been certified in accordance with Section
16 11-74.6-40, shall be allocated to and when collected shall
17 be paid to the municipal treasurer, who shall deposit those
18 taxes into a special fund called the special tax allocation
19 fund of the municipality for the purpose of paying
20 redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred in
21 the payment thereof.
22 (d) The municipality may pledge in the ordinance the funds
23in and to be deposited in the special tax allocation fund for
24the payment of redevelopment project costs and obligations. No
25part of the current equalized assessed value of each property
26in the redevelopment project area attributable to any increase

HB5764- 800 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1above the total initial equalized assessed value or the total
2initial updated equalized assessed value of the property, shall
3be used in calculating the general State aid formula, provided
4for in Section 18-8 of the School Code, or the evidence-based
5funding formula, provided for in Section 18-8.15 of the School
6Code, until all redevelopment project costs have been paid as
7provided for in this Section.
8 Whenever a municipality issues bonds for the purpose of
9financing redevelopment project costs, that municipality may
10provide by ordinance for the appointment of a trustee, which
11may be any trust company within the State, and for the
12establishment of any funds or accounts to be maintained by that
13trustee, as the municipality deems necessary to provide for the
14security and payment of the bonds. If the municipality provides
15for the appointment of a trustee, the trustee shall be
16considered the assignee of any payments assigned by the
17municipality under that ordinance and this Section. Any amounts
18paid to the trustee as assignee shall be deposited into the
19funds or accounts established under the trust agreement, and
20shall be held by the trustee in trust for the benefit of the
21holders of the bonds. The holders of those bonds shall have a
22lien on and a security interest in those funds or accounts
23while the bonds remain outstanding and unpaid. Upon retirement
24of the bonds, the trustee shall pay over any excess amounts
25held to the municipality for deposit in the special tax
26allocation fund.

HB5764- 801 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 When the redevelopment projects costs, including without
2limitation all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
3project costs incurred under this Law, have been paid, all
4surplus funds then remaining in the special tax allocation fund
5shall be distributed by being paid by the municipal treasurer
6to the municipality and the county collector; first to the
7municipality in direct proportion to the tax incremental
8revenue received from the municipality, but not to exceed the
9total incremental revenue received from the municipality,
10minus any annual surplus distribution of incremental revenue
11previously made. Any remaining funds shall be paid to the
12county collector who shall immediately distribute that payment
13to the taxing districts in the redevelopment project area in
14the same manner and proportion as the most recent distribution
15by the county collector to the affected districts of real
16property taxes from real property situated in the redevelopment
17project area.
18 Upon the payment of all redevelopment project costs,
19retirement of obligations and the distribution of any excess
20moneys under this Section, the municipality shall adopt an
21ordinance dissolving the special tax allocation fund for the
22redevelopment project area and terminating the designation of
23the redevelopment project area as a redevelopment project area.
24Thereafter the tax levies of taxing districts shall be
25extended, collected and distributed in the same manner
26applicable before the adoption of tax increment allocation

HB5764- 802 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1financing. Municipality shall notify affected taxing districts
2prior to November if the redevelopment project area is to be
3terminated by December 31 of that same year.
4 Nothing in this Section shall be construed as relieving
5property in a redevelopment project area from being assessed as
6provided in the Property Tax Code or as relieving owners of
7that property from paying a uniform rate of taxes, as required
8by Section 4 of Article IX of the Illinois Constitution.

6eligibles established in accordance with the processes
7required by this Section. Only persons who meet or exceed the
8performance standards required by the Section shall be placed
9on a register of eligibles for original appointment to an
10affected fire department.
11 Whenever an appointing authority authorizes action to hire
12a person to perform the duties of a firefighter or to hire a
13firefighter-paramedic to fill a position that is a new position
14or vacancy due to resignation, discharge, promotion, death, the
15granting of a disability or retirement pension, or any other
16cause, the appointing authority shall appoint to that position
17the person with the highest ranking on the final eligibility
18list. If the appointing authority has reason to conclude that
19the highest ranked person fails to meet the minimum standards
20for the position or if the appointing authority believes an
21alternate candidate would better serve the needs of the
22department, then the appointing authority has the right to pass
23over the highest ranked person and appoint either: (i) any
24person who has a ranking in the top 5% of the register of
25eligibles or (ii) any person who is among the top 5 highest
26ranked persons on the list of eligibles if the number of people

HB5764- 811 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1who have a ranking in the top 5% of the register of eligibles
2is less than 5 people.
3 Any candidate may pass on an appointment once without
4losing his or her position on the register of eligibles. Any
5candidate who passes a second time may be removed from the list
6by the appointing authority provided that such action shall not
7prejudice a person's opportunities to participate in future
8examinations, including an examination held during the time a
9candidate is already on the fire district's register of
10eligibles.
11 The sole authority to issue certificates of appointment
12shall be vested in the board of fire commissioners, or board of
13trustees serving in the capacity of a board of fire
14commissioners. All certificates of appointment issued to any
15officer or member of an affected department shall be signed by
16the chairperson and secretary, respectively, of the commission
17upon appointment of such officer or member to the affected
18department by action of the commission. After being selected
19from the register of eligibles to fill a vacancy in the
20affected department, each appointee shall be presented with his
21or her certificate of appointment on the day on which he or she
22is sworn in as a classified member of the affected department.
23Firefighters who were not issued a certificate of appointment
24when originally appointed shall be provided with a certificate
25within 10 days after making a written request to the
26chairperson of the board of fire commissioners, or board of

HB5764- 812 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1trustees serving in the capacity of a board of fire
2commissioners. Each person who accepts a certificate of
3appointment and successfully completes his or her probationary
4period shall be enrolled as a firefighter and as a regular
5member of the fire department.
6 For the purposes of this Section, "firefighter" means any
7person who has been prior to, on, or after August 4, 2011 (the
8effective date of Public Act 97-251) this amendatory Act of the
997th General Assembly appointed to a fire department or fire
10protection district or employed by a State university and sworn
11or commissioned to perform firefighter duties or paramedic
12duties, or both, except that the following persons are not
13included: part-time firefighters; auxiliary, reserve, or
14voluntary firefighters, including paid-on-call firefighters;
15clerks and dispatchers or other civilian employees of a fire
16department or fire protection district who are not routinely

18 (c) Qualification for placement on register of eligibles.
19The purpose of establishing a register of eligibles is to
20identify applicants who possess and demonstrate the mental
21aptitude and physical ability to perform the duties required of
22members of the fire department in order to provide the highest
23quality of service to the public. To this end, all applicants
24for original appointment to an affected fire department shall
25be subject to examination and testing which shall be public,
26competitive, and open to all applicants unless the district

HB5764- 813 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1shall by ordinance limit applicants to residents of the
2district, county or counties in which the district is located,
3State, or nation. Any examination and testing procedure
4utilized under subsection (e) of this Section shall be
5supported by appropriate validation evidence and shall comply
6with all applicable State and federal laws. Districts may
7establish educational, emergency medical service licensure,
8and other prerequisites prerequites for participation in an
9examination or for hire as a firefighter. Any fire protection
10district may charge a fee to cover the costs of the application
11process.
12 Residency requirements in effect at the time an individual
13enters the fire service of a district cannot be made more
14restrictive for that individual during his or her period of
15service for that district, or be made a condition of promotion,
16except for the rank or position of fire chief and for no more
17than 2 positions that rank immediately below that of the chief
18rank which are appointed positions pursuant to the Fire
19Department Promotion Act.
20 No person who is 35 years of age or older shall be eligible
21to take an examination for a position as a firefighter unless
22the person has had previous employment status as a firefighter
23in the regularly constituted fire department of the district,
24except as provided in this Section. The age limitation does not
25apply to:
26 (1) any person previously employed as a full-time

HB5764- 814 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 firefighter in a regularly constituted fire department of
2 (i) any municipality or fire protection district located in
3 Illinois, (ii) a fire protection district whose
4 obligations were assumed by a municipality under Section 21
5 of the Fire Protection District Act, or (iii) a
6 municipality whose obligations were taken over by a fire
7 protection district;
8 (2) any person who has served a fire district as a
9 regularly enrolled volunteer, paid-on-call, or part-time
10 firefighter for the 5 years immediately preceding the time
11 that the district begins to use full-time firefighters to
12 provide all or part of its fire protection service; or
13 (3) any person who turned 35 while serving as a member
14 of the active or reserve components of any of the branches
15 of the Armed Forces of the United States or the National
16 Guard of any state, whose service was characterized as
17 honorable or under honorable, if separated from the
18 military, and is currently under the age of 40.
19 No person who is under 21 years of age shall be eligible
20for employment as a firefighter.
21 No applicant shall be examined concerning his or her
22political or religious opinions or affiliations. The
23examinations shall be conducted by the commissioners of the
24district or their designees and agents.
25 No district shall require that any firefighter appointed to
26the lowest rank serve a probationary employment period of

HB5764- 815 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1longer than one year of actual active employment, which may
2exclude periods of training, or injury or illness leaves,
3including duty related leave, in excess of 30 calendar days.
4Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
5probationary employment period limitation may be extended for a
6firefighter who is required, as a condition of employment, to
7be a licensed paramedic, during which time the sole reason that
8a firefighter may be discharged without a hearing is for
9failing to meet the requirements for paramedic licensure.
10 In the event that any applicant who has been found eligible
11for appointment and whose name has been placed upon the final
12eligibility register provided for in this Section has not been
13appointed to a firefighter position within one year after the
14date of his or her physical ability examination, the commission
15may cause a second examination to be made of that applicant's
16physical ability prior to his or her appointment. If, after the
17second examination, the physical ability of the applicant shall
18be found to be less than the minimum standard fixed by the
19rules of the commission, the applicant shall not be appointed.
20The applicant's name may be retained upon the register of
21candidates eligible for appointment and when next reached for
22certification and appointment that applicant may be again
23examined as provided in this Section, and if the physical
24ability of that applicant is found to be less than the minimum
25standard fixed by the rules of the commission, the applicant
26shall not be appointed, and the name of the applicant shall be

HB5764- 816 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1removed from the register.
2 (d) Notice, examination, and testing components. Notice of

10district's Internet website. Additional notice of the
11examination may be given as the commission shall prescribe.
12 The examination and qualifying standards for employment of
13firefighters shall be based on: mental aptitude, physical
14ability, preferences, moral character, and health. The mental
15aptitude, physical ability, and preference components shall
16determine an applicant's qualification for and placement on the
17final register of eligibles. The examination may also include a
18subjective component based on merit criteria as determined by
19the commission. Scores from the examination must be made
20available to the public.
21 (e) Mental aptitude. No person who does not possess at
22least a high school diploma or an equivalent high school
23education shall be placed on a register of eligibles.
24Examination of an applicant's mental aptitude shall be based
25upon a written examination. The examination shall be practical
26in character and relate to those matters that fairly test the

HB5764- 817 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1capacity of the persons examined to discharge the duties
2performed by members of a fire department. Written examinations
3shall be administered in a manner that ensures the security and
4accuracy of the scores achieved.
5 (f) Physical ability. All candidates shall be required to
6undergo an examination of their physical ability to perform the
7essential functions included in the duties they may be called
8upon to perform as a member of a fire department. For the
9purposes of this Section, essential functions of the job are
10functions associated with duties that a firefighter may be
11called upon to perform in response to emergency calls. The
12frequency of the occurrence of those duties as part of the fire
13department's regular routine shall not be a controlling factor
14in the design of examination criteria or evolutions selected
15for testing. These physical examinations shall be open,
16competitive, and based on industry standards designed to test
17each applicant's physical abilities in the following
18dimensions:
19 (1) Muscular strength to perform tasks and evolutions
20 that may be required in the performance of duties including
21 grip strength, leg strength, and arm strength. Tests shall
22 be conducted under anaerobic as well as aerobic conditions
23 to test both the candidate's speed and endurance in
24 performing tasks and evolutions. Tasks tested may be based
25 on standards developed, or approved, by the local
26 appointing authority.

HB5764- 818 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

9 The tests utilized to measure each applicant's
10capabilities in each of these dimensions may be tests based on
11industry standards currently in use or equivalent tests
12approved by the Joint Labor-Management Committee of the Office
13of the State Fire Marshal.
14 Physical ability examinations administered under this
15Section shall be conducted with a reasonable number of proctors
16and monitors, open to the public, and subject to reasonable
17regulations of the commission.
18 (g) Scoring of examination components. Appointing
19authorities may create a preliminary eligibility register. A
20person shall be placed on the list based upon his or her
21passage of the written examination or the passage of the
22written examination and the physical ability component.
23Passage of the written examination means attaining the minimum
24score set by the commission. Minimum scores should be set by
25the appointing authorities so as to demonstrate a candidate's
26ability to perform the essential functions of the job. The

HB5764- 819 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1minimum score set by the commission shall be supported by
2appropriate validation evidence and shall comply with all
3applicable State and federal laws. The appointing authority may
4conduct the physical ability component and any subjective
5components subsequent to the posting of the preliminary
6eligibility register.
7 The examination components for an initial eligibility
8register shall be graded on a 100-point scale. A person's
9position on the list shall be determined by the following: (i)
10the person's score on the written examination, (ii) the person
11successfully passing the physical ability component, and (iii)
12the person's results on any subjective component as described
13in subsection (d).
14 In order to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
15register, an applicant's score on the written examination,
16before any applicable preference points or subjective points
17are applied, shall be at or above the minimum score set by the
18commission. The local appointing authority may prescribe the
19score to qualify for placement on the final eligibility
20register, but the score shall not be less than the minimum
21score set by the commission.
22 The commission shall prepare and keep a register of persons
23whose total score is not less than the minimum score for
24passage and who have passed the physical ability examination.
25These persons shall take rank upon the register as candidates
26in the order of their relative excellence based on the highest

HB5764- 820 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1to the lowest total points scored on the mental aptitude,
2subjective component, and preference components of the test
3administered in accordance with this Section. No more than 60
4days after each examination, an initial eligibility list shall
5be posted by the commission. The list shall include the final
6grades of the candidates without reference to priority of the
7time of examination and subject to claim for preference credit.
8 Commissions may conduct additional examinations, including
9without limitation a polygraph test, after a final eligibility
10register is established and before it expires with the
11candidates ranked by total score without regard to date of
12examination. No more than 60 days after each examination, an
13initial eligibility list shall be posted by the commission
14showing the final grades of the candidates without reference to
15priority of time of examination and subject to claim for
16preference credit.

19authorized (1) to sell or lease that property to the State of
20Illinois, with the State's consent, or another unit of Illinois
21State or local government for public use, (2) to give the
22property to the State of Illinois if the property is contiguous
23to a State park, or (3) to lease that property upon the terms
24and at the price that the board determines for a period not to
25exceed 99 years to any corporation organized under the laws of

HB5764- 830 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1this State, for public use. The grantee or lessee must covenant
2to hold and maintain the property for public park or
3recreational purposes unless the park district obtains other
4real property of substantially the same size or larger and of
5substantially the same or greater suitability for park purposes
6without additional cost to the district. In the case of
7property given or sold under this subsection after January 1,
82002 (the effective date of Public Act 92-401) this amendatory
9Act of the 92nd General Assembly for which this covenant is
10required, the conveyance must provide that ownership of the
11property automatically reverts to the grantor if the grantee
12knowingly violates the required covenant by allowing all or any
13part of the property to be used for purposes other than park or
14recreational purposes. Real estate given, sold, or leased to
15the State of Illinois under this subsection (1) must be 50
16acres or more in size, (2) may not be located within the
17territorial limits of a municipality, and (3) may not be the

24purposes without additional cost to such district.
25 Prior to such exchange with a nongovernmental entity, the
26park board shall hold a public meeting in order to consider the

HB5764- 831 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1proposed conveyance. Notice of such meeting shall be published
2not less than 3 three times (the first and last publication
3being not less than 10 days apart) in a newspaper of general
4circulation within the park district. If there is no such
5newspaper, then such notice shall be posted in not less than 3

17corporation uses the property for public park or recreational
18programs for youth. The park district shall have the right of
19re-entry for breach of condition subsequent. If the corporation
20stops using the property for these purposes, the property shall
21revert back to ownership of the park district. Any temporary
22suspension of use caused by the construction of improvements on
23the property for public park or recreational programs for youth
24is not a breach of condition subsequent.
25 Prior to the sale of the property to a not-for-profit
26corporation, the park board shall hold a public meeting to

2published not less than 3 times (the first and last publication
3being not less than 10 days apart) in a newspaper of general
4circulation within the park district. If there is no such
5newspaper, then the notice shall be posted in not less than 3
6public places in the park district. The notice shall be
7published or posted at least 10 days before the meeting. A
8resolution to approve the sale of the property to a
9not-for-profit corporation requires adoption by a majority of
10the park board.

2certified appraisals of State certified or licensed real estate
3appraisers.

12real estate that a park district with a population of 3,000 or
13less transfers by lease, license, development agreement, or
14other means to any private entity is greater than 70% of the

16 Sec. 14-8.02. Identification, evaluation, and placement of
17children.
18 (a) The State Board of Education shall make rules under
19which local school boards shall determine the eligibility of
20children to receive special education. Such rules shall ensure
21that a free appropriate public education be available to all
22children with disabilities as defined in Section 14-1.02. The
23State Board of Education shall require local school districts
24to administer non-discriminatory procedures or tests to
25English learners coming from homes in which a language other

HB5764- 872 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1than English is used to determine their eligibility to receive
2special education. The placement of low English proficiency
3students in special education programs and facilities shall be
4made in accordance with the test results reflecting the
5student's linguistic, cultural and special education needs.
6For purposes of determining the eligibility of children the
7State Board of Education shall include in the rules definitions
8of "case study", "staff conference", "individualized
9educational program", and "qualified specialist" appropriate
10to each category of children with disabilities as defined in
11this Article. For purposes of determining the eligibility of
12children from homes in which a language other than English is
13used, the State Board of Education shall include in the rules
14definitions for "qualified bilingual specialists" and
15"linguistically and culturally appropriate individualized
16educational programs". For purposes of this Section, as well as
17Sections 14-8.02a, 14-8.02b, and 14-8.02c of this Code,
18"parent" means a parent as defined in the federal Individuals
19with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1401(23)).
20 (b) No child shall be eligible for special education
21facilities except with a carefully completed case study fully
22reviewed by professional personnel in a multidisciplinary
23staff conference and only upon the recommendation of qualified
24specialists or a qualified bilingual specialist, if available.
25At the conclusion of the multidisciplinary staff conference,
26the parent of the child shall be given a copy of the

HB5764- 873 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1multidisciplinary conference summary report and
2recommendations, which includes options considered, and be
3informed of his or her their right to obtain an independent
4educational evaluation if he or she disagrees they disagree
5with the evaluation findings conducted or obtained by the
6school district. If the school district's evaluation is shown
7to be inappropriate, the school district shall reimburse the
8parent for the cost of the independent evaluation. The State
9Board of Education shall, with advice from the State Advisory
10Council on Education of Children with Disabilities on the
11inclusion of specific independent educational evaluators,
12prepare a list of suggested independent educational
13evaluators. The State Board of Education shall include on the
14list clinical psychologists licensed pursuant to the Clinical
15Psychologist Licensing Act. Such psychologists shall not be
16paid fees in excess of the amount that would be received by a
17school psychologist for performing the same services. The State
18Board of Education shall supply school districts with such list
19and make the list available to parents at their request. School
20districts shall make the list available to parents at the time
21they are informed of their right to obtain an independent
22educational evaluation. However, the school district may
23initiate an impartial due process hearing under this Section
24within 5 days of any written parent request for an independent
25educational evaluation to show that its evaluation is
26appropriate. If the final decision is that the evaluation is

HB5764- 874 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1appropriate, the parent still has a right to an independent
2educational evaluation, but not at public expense. An
3independent educational evaluation at public expense must be
4completed within 30 days of a parent written request unless the
5school district initiates an impartial due process hearing or
6the parent or school district offers reasonable grounds to show
7that such 30-day 30 day time period should be extended. If the
8due process hearing decision indicates that the parent is
9entitled to an independent educational evaluation, it must be
10completed within 30 days of the decision unless the parent or
11the school district offers reasonable grounds to show that such
1230-day 30 day period should be extended. If a parent disagrees
13with the summary report or recommendations of the
14multidisciplinary conference or the findings of any
15educational evaluation which results therefrom, the school
16district shall not proceed with a placement based upon such
17evaluation and the child shall remain in his or her regular
18classroom setting. No child shall be eligible for admission to
19a special class for children with a mental disability who are
20educable or for children with a mental disability who are
21trainable except with a psychological evaluation and
22recommendation by a school psychologist. Consent shall be
23obtained from the parent of a child before any evaluation is
24conducted. If consent is not given by the parent or if the
25parent disagrees with the findings of the evaluation, then the
26school district may initiate an impartial due process hearing

HB5764- 875 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1under this Section. The school district may evaluate the child
2if that is the decision resulting from the impartial due
3process hearing and the decision is not appealed or if the
4decision is affirmed on appeal. The determination of
5eligibility shall be made and the IEP meeting shall be
6completed within 60 school days from the date of written
7parental consent. In those instances when written parental
8consent is obtained with fewer than 60 pupil attendance days
9left in the school year, the eligibility determination shall be
10made and the IEP meeting shall be completed prior to the first
11day of the following school year. Special education and related
12services must be provided in accordance with the student's IEP
13no later than 10 school attendance days after notice is
14provided to the parents pursuant to Section 300.503 of Title 34
15of the Code of Federal Regulations and implementing rules
16adopted by the State Board of Education. The appropriate
17program pursuant to the individualized educational program of
18students whose native tongue is a language other than English
19shall reflect the special education, cultural and linguistic
20needs. No later than September 1, 1993, the State Board of
21Education shall establish standards for the development,
22implementation and monitoring of appropriate bilingual special
23individualized educational programs. The State Board of
24Education shall further incorporate appropriate monitoring
25procedures to verify implementation of these standards. The
26district shall indicate to the parent and the State Board of

HB5764- 876 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1Education the nature of the services the child will receive for
2the regular school term while waiting placement in the
3appropriate special education class. At the child's initial IEP
4meeting and at each annual review meeting, the child's IEP team
5shall provide the child's parent or guardian with a written
6notification that informs the parent or guardian that the IEP
7team is required to consider whether the child requires
8assistive technology in order to receive free, appropriate
9public education. The notification must also include a
10toll-free telephone number and internet address for the State's
11assistive technology program.
12 If the child is deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or visually
13impaired and he or she might be eligible to receive services
14from the Illinois School for the Deaf or the Illinois School
15for the Visually Impaired, the school district shall notify the
16parents, in writing, of the existence of these schools and the
17services they provide and shall make a reasonable effort to
18inform the parents of the existence of other, local schools
19that provide similar services and the services that these other
20schools provide. This notification shall include without
21limitation information on school services, school admissions
22criteria, and school contact information.
23 In the development of the individualized education program
24for a student who has a disability on the autism spectrum
25(which includes autistic disorder, Asperger's disorder,
26pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified,

HB5764- 877 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1childhood disintegrative disorder, and Rett Syndrome, as
2defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
3Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV, 2000)), the IEP team shall
4consider all of the following factors:
5 (1) The verbal and nonverbal communication needs of the
6 child.
7 (2) The need to develop social interaction skills and
8 proficiencies.
9 (3) The needs resulting from the child's unusual
10 responses to sensory experiences.
11 (4) The needs resulting from resistance to
12 environmental change or change in daily routines.
13 (5) The needs resulting from engagement in repetitive
14 activities and stereotyped movements.
15 (6) The need for any positive behavioral
16 interventions, strategies, and supports to address any
17 behavioral difficulties resulting from autism spectrum
18 disorder.
19 (7) Other needs resulting from the child's disability
20 that impact progress in the general curriculum, including
21 social and emotional development.
22Public Act 95-257 does not create any new entitlement to a
23service, program, or benefit, but must not affect any
24entitlement to a service, program, or benefit created by any
25other law.
26 If the student may be eligible to participate in the

HB5764- 878 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1Home-Based Support Services Program for Adults with Mental
2Disabilities authorized under the Developmental Disability and
3Mental Disability Services Act upon becoming an adult, the
4student's individualized education program shall include plans
5for (i) determining the student's eligibility for those
6home-based services, (ii) enrolling the student in the program
7of home-based services, and (iii) developing a plan for the
8student's most effective use of the home-based services after
9the student becomes an adult and no longer receives special
10educational services under this Article. The plans developed
11under this paragraph shall include specific actions to be taken
12by specified individuals, agencies, or officials.
13 (c) In the development of the individualized education
14program for a student who is functionally blind, it shall be
15presumed that proficiency in Braille reading and writing is
16essential for the student's satisfactory educational progress.
17For purposes of this subsection, the State Board of Education
18shall determine the criteria for a student to be classified as
19functionally blind. Students who are not currently identified
20as functionally blind who are also entitled to Braille
21instruction include: (i) those whose vision loss is so severe
22that they are unable to read and write at a level comparable to
23their peers solely through the use of vision, and (ii) those
24who show evidence of progressive vision loss that may result in
25functional blindness. Each student who is functionally blind
26shall be entitled to Braille reading and writing instruction

HB5764- 879 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1that is sufficient to enable the student to communicate with
2the same level of proficiency as other students of comparable
3ability. Instruction should be provided to the extent that the
4student is physically and cognitively able to use Braille.
5Braille instruction may be used in combination with other
6special education services appropriate to the student's
7educational needs. The assessment of each student who is
8functionally blind for the purpose of developing the student's
9individualized education program shall include documentation
10of the student's strengths and weaknesses in Braille skills.
11Each person assisting in the development of the individualized
12education program for a student who is functionally blind shall
13receive information describing the benefits of Braille
14instruction. The individualized education program for each
15student who is functionally blind shall specify the appropriate
16learning medium or media based on the assessment report.
17 (d) To the maximum extent appropriate, the placement shall
18provide the child with the opportunity to be educated with
19children who do not have a disability; provided that children
20with disabilities who are recommended to be placed into regular
21education classrooms are provided with supplementary services
22to assist the children with disabilities to benefit from the
23regular classroom instruction and are included on the teacher's
24regular education class register. Subject to the limitation of
25the preceding sentence, placement in special classes, separate
26schools or other removal of the child with a disability from

HB5764- 880 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1the regular educational environment shall occur only when the
2nature of the severity of the disability is such that education
3in the regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and
4services cannot be achieved satisfactorily. The placement of
5English learners with disabilities shall be in non-restrictive
6environments which provide for integration with peers who do
7not have disabilities in bilingual classrooms. Annually, each
8January, school districts shall report data on students from
9non-English speaking backgrounds receiving special education
10and related services in public and private facilities as
11prescribed in Section 2-3.30. If there is a disagreement
12between parties involved regarding the special education
13placement of any child, either in-state or out-of-state, the
14placement is subject to impartial due process procedures
15described in Article 10 of the Rules and Regulations to Govern
16the Administration and Operation of Special Education.
17 (e) No child who comes from a home in which a language
18other than English is the principal language used may be
19assigned to any class or program under this Article until he
20has been given, in the principal language used by the child and
21used in his home, tests reasonably related to his cultural
22environment. All testing and evaluation materials and
23procedures utilized for evaluation and placement shall not be
24linguistically, racially or culturally discriminatory.
25 (f) Nothing in this Article shall be construed to require
26any child to undergo any physical examination or medical

HB5764- 881 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1treatment whose parents object thereto on the grounds that such
2examination or treatment conflicts with his religious beliefs.
3 (g) School boards or their designee shall provide to the
4parents of a child prior written notice of any decision (a)
5proposing to initiate or change, or (b) refusing to initiate or
6change, the identification, evaluation, or educational
7placement of the child or the provision of a free appropriate
8public education to their child, and the reasons therefor. Such
9written notification shall also inform the parent of the
10opportunity to present complaints with respect to any matter
11relating to the educational placement of the student, or the
12provision of a free appropriate public education and to have an
13impartial due process hearing on the complaint. The notice
14shall inform the parents in the parents' native language,
15unless it is clearly not feasible to do so, of their rights and
16all procedures available pursuant to this Act and the federal
17Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of
182004 (Public Law 108-446); it shall be the responsibility of
19the State Superintendent to develop uniform notices setting
20forth the procedures available under this Act and the federal

23notice shall also inform the parents of the availability upon
24request of a list of free or low-cost legal and other relevant
25services available locally to assist parents in initiating an
26impartial due process hearing. The State Superintendent shall

HB5764- 882 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1revise the uniform notices required by this subsection (g) to
2reflect current law and procedures at least once every 2 years.
3Any parent who is deaf, or does not normally communicate using
4spoken English, who participates in a meeting with a
5representative of a local educational agency for the purposes
6of developing an individualized educational program shall be
7entitled to the services of an interpreter. The State Board of
8Education must adopt rules to establish the criteria,
9standards, and competencies for a bilingual language
10interpreter who attends an individualized education program
11meeting under this subsection to assist a parent who has
12limited English proficiency.
13 (g-5) For purposes of this subsection (g-5), "qualified
14professional" means an individual who holds credentials to
15evaluate the child in the domain or domains for which an
16evaluation is sought or an intern working under the direct
17supervision of a qualified professional, including a master's
18or doctoral degree candidate.
19 To ensure that a parent can participate fully and
20effectively with school personnel in the development of
21appropriate educational and related services for his or her
22child, the parent, an independent educational evaluator, or a
23qualified professional retained by or on behalf of a parent or
24child must be afforded reasonable access to educational
25facilities, personnel, classrooms, and buildings and to the

1this subsection (g-5) apply to any public school facility,
2building, or program and to any facility, building, or program
3supported in whole or in part by public funds. Prior to
4visiting a school, school building, or school facility, the
5parent, independent educational evaluator, or qualified
6professional may be required by the school district to inform
7the building principal or supervisor in writing of the proposed
8visit, the purpose of the visit, and the approximate duration
9of the visit. The visitor and the school district shall arrange
10the visit or visits at times that are mutually agreeable.
11Visitors shall comply with school safety, security, and
12visitation policies at all times. School district visitation
13policies must not conflict with this subsection (g-5). Visitors
14shall be required to comply with the requirements of applicable
15privacy laws, including those laws protecting the
16confidentiality of education records such as the federal Family
17Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the Illinois School
18Student Records Act. The visitor shall not disrupt the
19educational process.
20 (1) A parent must be afforded reasonable access of
21 sufficient duration and scope for the purpose of observing

5 Sec. 18-8.15. Evidence-Based Funding Evidence-based
6funding for student success for the 2017-2018 and subsequent
7school years.
8 (a) General provisions.
9 (1) The purpose of this Section is to ensure that, by
10 June 30, 2027 and beyond, this State has a kindergarten
11 through grade 12 public education system with the capacity
12 to ensure the educational development of all persons to the
13 limits of their capacities in accordance with Section 1 of
14 Article X of the Constitution of the State of Illinois. To
15 accomplish that objective, this Section creates a method of
16 funding public education that is evidence-based; is
17 sufficient to ensure every student receives a meaningful
18 opportunity to learn irrespective of race, ethnicity,
19 sexual orientation, gender, or community-income level; and
20 is sustainable and predictable. When fully funded under
21 this Section, every school shall have the resources, based
22 on what the evidence indicates is needed, to:
23 (A) provide all students with a high quality
24 education that offers the academic, enrichment, social
25 and emotional support, technical, and career-focused

HB5764- 886 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 programs that will allow them to become competitive
2 workers, responsible parents, productive citizens of
3 this State, and active members of our national
4 democracy;
5 (B) ensure all students receive the education they
6 need to graduate from high school with the skills
7 required to pursue post-secondary education and
8 training for a rewarding career;
9 (C) reduce, with a goal of eliminating, the
10 achievement gap between at-risk and non-at-risk
11 students by raising the performance of at-risk
12 students and not by reducing standards; and
13 (D) ensure this State satisfies its obligation to
14 assume the primary responsibility to fund public
15 education and simultaneously relieve the
16 disproportionate burden placed on local property taxes
17 to fund schools.
18 (2) The Evidence-Based Funding evidence-based funding
19 formula under this Section shall be applied to all
20 Organizational Units in this State. The Evidence-Based
21 Funding evidence-based funding formula outlined in this
22 Act is based on the formula outlined in Senate Bill 1 of
23 the 100th General Assembly, as passed by both legislative
24 chambers. As further defined and described in this Section,
25 there are 4 major components of the Evidence-Based Funding
26 evidence-based funding model:

HB5764- 887 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (A) First, the model calculates a unique Adequacy
2 Target adequacy target for each Organizational Unit in
3 this State that considers the costs to implement
4 research-based activities, the unit's student
5 demographics, and regional wage differences
6 difference.
7 (B) Second, the model calculates each
8 Organizational Unit's Local Capacity local capacity,
9 or the amount each Organizational Unit is assumed to
10 contribute toward towards its Adequacy Target adequacy
11 target from local resources.
12 (C) Third, the model calculates how much funding
13 the State currently contributes to the Organizational
14 Unit, and adds that to the unit's Local Capacity local
15 capacity to determine the unit's overall current
16 adequacy of funding.
17 (D) Finally, the model's distribution method
18 allocates new State funding to those Organizational
19 Units that are least well-funded, considering both
20 Local Capacity local capacity and State funding, in
21 relation to their Adequacy Target adequacy target.
22 (3) An Organizational Unit receiving any funding under
23 this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
24 for which that Organizational Unit is authorized to make
25 expenditures by law.
26 (4) As used in this Section, the following terms shall

HB5764- 888 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 have the meanings ascribed in this paragraph (4):
2 "Adequacy Target" is defined in paragraph (1) of
3 subsection (b) of this Section.
4 "Adjusted EAV" is defined in paragraph (4) of
5 subsection (d) of this Section.
6 "Adjusted Local Capacity Target" is defined in
7 paragraph (3) of subsection (c) of this Section.
8 "Adjusted Operating Tax Rate" means a tax rate for all

19 special education transportation reimbursement pursuant to
20 Section 29-5 or subsection (b) of Section 14-13.01 of this
21 Code divided by the Adjusted EAV. If an Organizational
22 Unit's corresponding fiscal year State of Illinois
23 scheduled payments excluding net adjustments for prior
24 years for regular, vocational, or special education
25 transportation reimbursement pursuant to Section 29-5 or
26 subsection (b) of Section 14-13.01 of this Code exceed the

HB5764- 889 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

25 well as all English learner and disabled students attending
26 the Organizational Unit, shall be considered at-risk

HB5764- 890 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 students under this Section.
2 "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" for fiscal year
3 2018 means, for an Organizational Unit, the greater of the
4 average number of students (grades K through 12) reported
5 to the State Board as enrolled in the Organizational Unit
6 on October 1 in the immediately preceding school year, plus
7 the pre-kindergarten students who receive special
8 education services of 2 or more hours a day as reported to
9 the State Board on December 1 in the immediately preceding
10 school year, or the average number of students (grades K
11 through 12) reported to the State Board as enrolled in the

13 pre-kindergarten students who receive special education
14 services of 2 or more hours a day as reported to the State
15 Board on December 1, for each of the immediately preceding
16 3 school years. For fiscal year 2019 and each subsequent
17 fiscal year, "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" means,
18 for an Organizational Unit, the greater of the average
19 number of students (grades K through 12) reported to the
20 State Board as enrolled in the Organizational Unit on
21 October 1 and March 1 in the immediately preceding school
22 year, plus the pre-kindergarten students who receive
23 special education services as reported to the State Board
24 on October 1 and March 1 in the immediately preceding
25 school year, or the average number of students (grades K
26 through 12) reported to the State Board as enrolled in the

HB5764- 891 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Organizational Unit on October 1 and March 1, plus the
2 pre-kindergarten students who receive special education

5 years. For the purposes of this definition, "enrolled in
6 the Organizational Unit" means the number of students
7 reported to the State Board who are enrolled in schools
8 within the Organizational Unit that the student attends or
9 would attend if not placed or transferred to another school
10 or program to receive needed services. For the purposes of
11 calculating "ASE", all students, grades K through 12,
12 excluding those attending kindergarten for a half day and
13 students attending an alternative education program
14 operated by a regional office of education or intermediate
15 service center, shall be counted as 1.0. All students
16 attending kindergarten for a half day shall be counted as
17 0.5, unless in 2017 by June 15 or by March 1 in subsequent
18 years, the school district reports to the State Board of
19 Education the intent to implement full-day kindergarten
20 district-wide for all students, then all students
21 attending kindergarten shall be counted as 1.0. Special
22 education pre-kindergarten students shall be counted as
23 0.5 each. If the State Board does not collect or has not
24 collected both an October 1 and March 1 enrollment count by
25 grade or a December 1 collection of special education
26 pre-kindergarten students as of August 31, 2017 (the

HB5764- 892 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 effective date of Public Act 100-465) this amendatory Act
2 of the 100th General Assembly, it shall establish such
3 collection for all future years. For any year in which
4 where a count by grade level was collected only once, that
5 count shall be used as the single count available for
6 computing a 3-year average ASE. Funding for programs
7 operated by a regional office of education or an
8 intermediate service center must be calculated using the
9 Evidence-Based Funding evidence-based funding formula
10 under this Section for the 2019-2020 school year and each
11 subsequent school year until separate adequacy formulas
12 are developed and adopted for each type of program. ASE for
13 a program operated by a regional office of education or an
14 intermediate service center must be determined by the March
15 1 enrollment for the program. For the 2019-2020 school
16 year, the ASE used in the calculation must be the
17 first-year ASE and, in that year only, the assignment of
18 students served by a regional office of education or
19 intermediate service center shall not result in a reduction
20 of the March enrollment for any school district. For the
21 2020-2021 school year, the ASE must be the greater of the
22 current-year ASE or the 2-year average ASE. Beginning with
23 the 2021-2022 school year, the ASE must be the greater of
24 the current-year ASE or the 3-year average ASE. School
25 districts shall submit the data for the ASE calculation to
26 the State Board within 45 days of the dates required in

HB5764- 893 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 this Section for submission of enrollment data in order for

24 with this paragraph is less than 0.9, the Organizational
25 Unit CWI shall be increased to 0.9. Each county's current
26 CWI value shall be adjusted based on the CWI value of that

HB5764- 903 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

3 for the Essential Elements, the average salary for
4 corresponding positions shall apply. For substitute
5 teachers, the average teacher salary for grades K through
6 12 shall apply.
7 For calculating the salaries included within the
8 Essential Elements for positions not included within EIS
9 Data, the following salaries shall be used in the first
10 year of implementation of Evidence-Based Funding:
11 (i) school site staff, $30,000; and
12 (ii) non-instructional assistant, instructional
13 assistant, library aide, library media tech, or

17 of this paragraph (3) shall annually increase by the ECI.
18 The salary amounts for the Essential Elements
19 determined pursuant to subparagraphs (A) through (L), (S)
20 and (T), and (V) through (X) of paragraph (2) of subsection
21 (b) of this Section shall be multiplied by a
22 Regionalization Factor.
23 (c) Local Capacity capacity calculation.
24 (1) Each Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
25 represents an amount of funding it is assumed to contribute
26 toward its Adequacy Target for purposes of the

HB5764- 920 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Evidence-Based Funding formula calculation. "Local
2 Capacity" means either (i) the Organizational Unit's Local
3 Capacity Target as calculated in accordance with paragraph
4 (2) of this subsection (c) if its Real Receipts are equal
5 to or less than its Local Capacity Target or (ii) the
6 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity, as
7 calculated in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
8 subsection (c) if Real Receipts are more than its Local
9 Capacity Target.
10 (2) "Local Capacity Target" means, for an
11 Organizational Unit, that dollar amount that is obtained by
12 multiplying its Adequacy Target by its Local Capacity
13 Ratio.
14 (A) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
15 Percentage is the conversion of the Organizational
16 Unit's Local Capacity Ratio, as such ratio is
17 determined in accordance with subparagraph (B) of this
18 paragraph (2), into a cumulative distribution
19 resulting in a percentile ranking to determine each
20 Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
21 Organizational Units in this State. The calculation of
22 Local Capacity Percentage is described in subparagraph
23 (C) of this paragraph (2).
24 (B) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio
25 in a given year is the percentage obtained by dividing
26 its Adjusted EAV or PTELL EAV, whichever is less, by

HB5764- 921 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 its Adequacy Target, with the resulting ratio further
2 adjusted as follows:
3 (i) for Organizational Units serving grades
4 kindergarten through 12 and Hybrid Districts, no
5 further adjustments shall be made;
6 (ii) for Organizational Units serving grades
7 kindergarten through 8, the ratio shall be
8 multiplied by 9/13;
9 (iii) for Organizational Units serving grades
10 9 through 12, the Local Capacity Ratio shall be
11 multiplied by 4/13; and
12 (iv) for an Organizational Unit with a
13 different grade configuration than those specified
14 in items (i) through (iii) of this subparagraph
15 (B), the State Superintendent shall determine a
16 comparable adjustment based on the grades served.
17 (C) The Local Capacity Percentage is equal to the
18 percentile ranking of the district. Local Capacity
19 Percentage converts each Organizational Unit's Local
20 Capacity Ratio to a cumulative distribution resulting
21 in a percentile ranking to determine each
22 Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
23 Organizational Units in this State. The Local Capacity
24 Percentage cumulative distribution resulting in a
25 percentile ranking for each Organizational Unit shall
26 be calculated using the standard normal distribution

HB5764- 922 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 of the score in relation to the weighted mean and
2 weighted standard deviation and Local Capacity Ratios
3 of all Organizational Units. If the value assigned to
4 any Organizational Unit is in excess of 90%, the value
5 shall be adjusted to 90%. For Laboratory Schools, the
6 Local Capacity Percentage shall be set at 10% in
7 recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
8 the public university that are allocated to the
9 Laboratory School. For programs operated by a regional
10 office of education or an intermediate service center,
11 the Local Capacity Percentage must be set at 10% in
12 recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
13 school districts that are allocated to the regional
14 office of education or intermediate service center.
15 The weighted mean for the Local Capacity Percentage
16 shall be determined by multiplying each Organizational
17 Unit's Local Capacity Ratio times the ASE for the unit
18 creating a weighted value, summing the weighted values
19 of all Organizational Units, and dividing by the total
20 ASE of all Organizational Units. The weighted standard
21 deviation shall be determined by taking the square root
22 of the weighted variance of all Organizational Units'
23 Local Capacity Ratio, where the variance is calculated
24 by squaring the difference between each unit's Local
25 Capacity Ratio and the weighted mean, then multiplying
26 the variance for each unit times the ASE for the unit

HB5764- 923 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 to create a weighted variance for each unit, then
2 summing all units' weighted variance and dividing by
3 the total ASE of all units.
4 (D) For any Organizational Unit, the
5 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity Target
6 shall be reduced by either (i) the school board's
7 remaining contribution pursuant to paragraph (ii) of
8 subsection (b-4) of Section 16-158 of the Illinois
9 Pension Code in a given year, or (ii) the board of
10 education's remaining contribution pursuant to
11 paragraph (iv) of subsection (b) of Section 17-129 of
12 the Illinois Pension Code absent the employer normal
13 cost portion of the required contribution and amount
14 allowed pursuant to subdivision (3) of Section
15 17-142.1 of the Illinois Pension Code in a given year.
16 In the preceding sentence, item (i) shall be certified
17 to the State Board of Education by the Teachers'
18 Retirement System of the State of Illinois and item
19 (ii) shall be certified to the State Board of Education
20 by the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement
21 Fund of the City of Chicago.
22 (3) If an Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are more
23 than its Local Capacity Target, then its Local Capacity
24 shall equal an Adjusted Local Capacity Target as calculated
25 in accordance with this paragraph (3). The Adjusted Local
26 Capacity Target is calculated as the sum of the

HB5764- 924 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target and its Real
2 Receipts Adjustment. The Real Receipts Adjustment equals
3 the Organizational Unit's Real Receipts less its Local
4 Capacity Target, with the resulting figure multiplied by
5 the Local Capacity Percentage.
6 As used in this paragraph (3), "Real Percent of
7 Adequacy" means the sum of an Organizational Unit's Real
8 Receipts, CPPRT, and Base Funding Minimum, with the
9 resulting figure divided by the Organizational Unit's
10 Adequacy Target.
11 (d) Calculation of Real Receipts, EAV, and Adjusted EAV for
12purposes of the Local Capacity calculation.
13 (1) An Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are the
14 product of its Applicable Tax Rate and its Adjusted EAV. An
15 Organizational Unit's Applicable Tax Rate is its Adjusted
16 Operating Tax Rate for property within the Organizational
17 Unit.
18 (2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
19 equalized assessed valuation Equalized Assessed Valuation,
20 or EAV, of all taxable property of each Organizational Unit
21 as of September 30 of the previous year in accordance with
22 paragraph (3) of this subsection (d). The State
23 Superintendent shall then determine the Adjusted EAV of
24 each Organizational Unit in accordance with paragraph (4)
25 of this subsection (d), which Adjusted EAV figure shall be
26 used for the purposes of calculating Local Capacity.

HB5764- 925 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (3) To calculate Real Receipts and EAV, the Department
2 of Revenue shall supply to the State Superintendent the
3 value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue
4 of all taxable property of every Organizational Unit,
5 together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in extending
6 taxes for the funds of the Organizational Unit as of
7 September 30 of the previous year and (ii) the limiting
8 rate for all Organizational Units subject to property tax
9 extension limitations as imposed under PTELL.
10 (A) The Department of Revenue shall add to the
11 equalized assessed value of all taxable property of
12 each Organizational Unit situated entirely or
13 partially within a county that is or was subject to the
14 provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
15 Tax Code (i) an amount equal to the total amount by
16 which the homestead exemption allowed under Section
17 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code for real
18 property situated in that Organizational Unit exceeds
19 the total amount that would have been allowed in that
20 Organizational Unit if the maximum reduction under
21 Section 15-176 was (I) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500
22 in all other counties in tax year 2003 or (II) $5,000
23 in all counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and
24 (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount for the
25 taxable year of all additional exemptions under
26 Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners with

HB5764- 926 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 a household income of $30,000 or less. The county clerk
2 of any county that is or was subject to the provisions
3 of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
4 shall annually calculate and certify to the Department
5 of Revenue for each Organizational Unit all homestead
6 exemption amounts under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the
7 Property Tax Code and all amounts of additional
8 exemptions under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
9 Code for owners with a household income of $30,000 or
10 less. It is the intent of this subparagraph (A) that if
11 the general homestead exemption for a parcel of
12 property is determined under Section 15-176 or 15-177
13 of the Property Tax Code rather than Section 15-175,
14 then the calculation of EAV shall not be affected by
15 the difference, if any, between the amount of the
16 general homestead exemption allowed for that parcel of
17 property under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
18 Tax Code and the amount that would have been allowed
19 had the general homestead exemption for that parcel of
20 property been determined under Section 15-175 of the
21 Property Tax Code. It is further the intent of this
22 subparagraph (A) that if additional exemptions are
23 allowed under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code
24 for owners with a household income of less than
25 $30,000, then the calculation of EAV shall not be
26 affected by the difference, if any, because of those

HB5764- 927 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 additional exemptions.
2 (B) With respect to any part of an Organizational
3 Unit within a redevelopment project area in respect to
4 which a municipality has adopted tax increment
5 allocation financing pursuant to the Tax Increment
6 Allocation Redevelopment Act, Division 74.4 of Article
7 11 of the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Industrial
8 Jobs Recovery Law, Division 74.6 of Article 11 of the
9 Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current EAV of
10 real property located in any such project area that
11 which is attributable to an increase above the total
12 initial EAV of such property shall be used as part of
13 the EAV of the Organizational Unit, until such time as
14 all redevelopment project costs have been paid, as
15 provided in Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment
16 Allocation Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35
17 of the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of
18 the EAV of the Organizational Unit, the total initial
19 EAV or the current EAV, whichever is lower, shall be
20 used until such time as all redevelopment project costs
21 have been paid.
22 (B-5) The real property equalized assessed
23 valuation for a school district shall be adjusted by
24 subtracting from the real property value, as equalized
25 or assessed by the Department of Revenue, for the
26 district an amount computed by dividing the amount of

HB5764- 928 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 any abatement of taxes under Section 18-170 of the
2 Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a district maintaining
3 grades kindergarten through 12, by 2.30% for a district
4 maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, or by 1.05%
5 for a district maintaining grades 9 through 12 and
6 adjusted by an amount computed by dividing the amount
7 of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a) of
8 Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
9 percentage rates for district type as specified in this
10 subparagraph (B-5).
11 (C) For Organizational Units that are Hybrid
12 Districts, the State Superintendent shall use the
13 lesser of the adjusted equalized assessed valuation
14 for property within the partial elementary unit
15 district for elementary purposes, as defined in
16 Article 11E of this Code, or the adjusted equalized
17 assessed valuation for property within the partial
18 elementary unit district for high school purposes, as
19 defined in Article 11E of this Code.
20 (4) An Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV shall be the
21 average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3 years
22 or its EAV in the immediately preceding year if the EAV in
23 the immediately preceding year has declined by 10% or more
24 compared to the 3-year average. In the event of
25 Organizational Unit reorganization, consolidation, or
26 annexation, the Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV for the

HB5764- 929 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 first 3 years after such change shall be as follows: the
2 most current EAV shall be used in the first year, the
3 average of a 2-year EAV or its EAV in the immediately
4 preceding year if the EAV declines by 10% or more compared
5 to the 2-year average for the second year, and a 3-year
6 average EAV or its EAV in the immediately preceding year if
7 the Adjusted adjusted EAV declines by 10% or more compared
8 to the 3-year average for the third year. For any school
9 district whose EAV in the immediately preceding year is
10 used in calculations, in the following year, the Adjusted
11 EAV shall be the average of its EAV over the immediately
12 preceding 2 years or the immediately preceding year if that
13 year represents a decline of 10% or more compared to the
14 2-year average.
15 "PTELL EAV" means a figure calculated by the State
16 Board for Organizational Units subject to PTELL as
17 described in this paragraph (4) for the purposes of
18 calculating an Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio.
19 Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (4), the
20 PTELL EAV of an Organizational Unit shall be equal to the
21 product of the equalized assessed valuation last used in
22 the calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05
23 of this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding under
24 this Section and the Organizational Unit's Extension
25 Limitation Ratio. If an Organizational Unit has approved or
26 does approve an increase in its limiting rate, pursuant to

HB5764- 930 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Section 18-190 of the Property Tax Code, affecting the Base
2 Tax Year, the PTELL EAV shall be equal to the product of
3 the equalized assessed valuation last used in the
4 calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of
5 this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding under
6 this Section multiplied by an amount equal to one plus the
7 percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index
8 for All Urban Consumers for all items published by the
9 United States Department of Labor for the 12-month calendar
10 year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the equalized
11 assessed valuation of new property, annexed property, and
12 recovered tax increment value and minus the equalized
13 assessed valuation of disconnected property.
14 As used in this paragraph (4), "new property" and
15 "recovered tax increment value" shall have the meanings set
16 forth in the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
17 (e) Base Funding Minimum calculation.
18 (1) For the 2017-2018 school year, the Base Funding
19 Minimum of an Organizational Unit or a Specially Funded
20 Unit shall be the amount of State funds distributed to the
21 Organizational Unit or Specially Funded Unit during the
22 2016-2017 school year prior to any adjustments and
23 specified appropriation amounts described in this
24 paragraph (1) from the following Sections, as calculated by
25 the State Superintendent: Section 18-8.05 of this Code (now
26 repealed); Section 5 of Article 224 of Public Act 99-524

HB5764- 931 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (equity grants); Section 14-7.02b of this Code (funding for
2 children requiring special education services); Section
3 14-13.01 of this Code (special education facilities and
4 staffing), except for reimbursement of the cost of
5 transportation pursuant to Section 14-13.01; Section
6 14C-12 of this Code (English learners); and Section 18-4.3
7 of this Code (summer school), based on an appropriation
8 level of $13,121,600. For a school district organized under
9 Article 34 of this Code, the Base Funding Minimum also
10 includes (i) the funds allocated to the school district
11 pursuant to Section 1D-1 of this Code attributable to
12 funding programs authorized by the Sections of this Code
13 listed in the preceding sentence; and (ii) the difference
14 between (I) the funds allocated to the school district
15 pursuant to Section 1D-1 of this Code attributable to the
16 funding programs authorized by Section 14-7.02 (non-public
17 special education reimbursement), subsection (b) of
18 Section 14-13.01 (special education transportation),
19 Section 29-5 (transportation), Section 2-3.80
20 (agricultural education), Section 2-3.66 (truants'
21 alternative education), Section 2-3.62 (educational
22 service centers), and Section 14-7.03 (special education -
23 orphanage) of this Code and Section 15 of the Childhood
24 Hunger Relief Act (free breakfast program) and (II) the
25 school district's actual expenditures for its non-public
26 special education, special education transportation,

HB5764- 932 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 transportation programs, agricultural education, truants'
2 alternative education, services that would otherwise be
3 performed by a regional office of education, special
4 education orphanage expenditures, and free breakfast, as
5 most recently calculated and reported pursuant to
6 subsection (f) of Section 1D-1 of this Code. The Base
7 Funding Minimum for Glenwood Academy shall be $625,500. For
8 programs operated by a regional office of education or an
9 intermediate service center, the Base Funding Minimum must
10 be the total amount of State funds allocated to those
11 programs in the 2018-2019 school year and amounts provided
12 pursuant to Article 34 of Public Act 100-586 and Section
13 3-16 of this Code. All programs established after June 5,
14 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-10) this
15 amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly and
16 administered by a regional office of education or an
17 intermediate service center must have an initial Base
18 Funding Minimum set to an amount equal to the first-year
19 ASE multiplied by the amount of per pupil funding received
20 in the previous school year by the lowest funded similar
21 existing program type. If the enrollment for a program
22 operated by a regional office of education or an
23 intermediate service center is zero, then it may not
24 receive Base Funding Minimum funds for that program in the
25 next fiscal year, and those funds must be distributed to
26 Organizational Units under subsection (g).

HB5764- 933 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (2) For the 2018-2019 and subsequent school years, the
2 Base Funding Minimum of Organizational Units and Specially
3 Funded Units shall be the sum of (i) the amount of
4 Evidence-Based Funding for the prior school year, (ii) the
5 Base Funding Minimum for the prior school year, and (iii)
6 any amount received by a school district pursuant to
7 Section 7 of Article 97 of Public Act 100-21.
8 (f) Percent of Adequacy and Final Resources calculation.
9 (1) The Evidence-Based Funding formula establishes a
10 Percent of Adequacy for each Organizational Unit in order
11 to place such units into tiers for the purposes of the
12 funding distribution system described in subsection (g) of
13 this Section. Initially, an Organizational Unit's
14 Preliminary Resources and Preliminary Percent of Adequacy
15 are calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection
16 (f). Then, an Organizational Unit's Final Resources and
17 Final Percent of Adequacy are calculated to account for the
18 Organizational Unit's poverty concentration levels
19 pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4) of this subsection (f).
20 (2) An Organizational Unit's Preliminary Resources are
21 equal to the sum of its Local Capacity Target, CPPRT, and
22 Base Funding Minimum. An Organizational Unit's Preliminary
23 Percent of Adequacy is the lesser of (i) its Preliminary
24 Resources divided by its Adequacy Target or (ii) 100%.
25 (3) Except for Specially Funded Units, an
26 Organizational Unit's Final Resources are equal the sum of

HB5764- 934 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 its Local Capacity, CPPRT, and Adjusted Base Funding
2 Minimum. The Base Funding Minimum of each Specially Funded
3 Unit shall serve as its Final Resources, except that the
4 Base Funding Minimum for State-approved charter schools
5 shall not include any portion of general State aid
6 allocated in the prior year based on the per capita tuition
7 charge times the charter school enrollment.
8 (4) An Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy
9 is its Final Resources divided by its Adequacy Target. An
10 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Base Funding Minimum is
11 equal to its Base Funding Minimum less its Supplemental
12 Grant Funding, with the resulting figure added to the
13 product of its Supplemental Grant Funding and Preliminary
14 Percent of Adequacy.
15 (g) Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system.
16 (1) In each school year under the Evidence-Based
17 Funding formula, each Organizational Unit receives funding
18 equal to the sum of its Base Funding Minimum and the unit's
19 allocation of New State Funds determined pursuant to this
20 subsection (g). To allocate New State Funds, the
21 Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system first
22 places all Organizational Units into one of 4 tiers in
23 accordance with paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), based
24 on the Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy. New
25 State Funds are allocated to each of the 4 tiers as
26 follows: Tier 1 Aggregate Funding equals 50% of all New

HB5764- 935 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 State Funds, Tier 2 Aggregate Funding equals 49% of all New
2 State Funds, Tier 3 Aggregate Funding equals 0.9% of all
3 New State Funds, and Tier 4 Aggregate Funding equals 0.1%
4 of all New State Funds. Each Organizational Unit within
5 Tier 1 or Tier 2 receives an allocation of New State Funds
6 equal to its tier Funding Gap, as defined in the following
7 sentence, multiplied by the tier's Allocation Rate
8 determined pursuant to paragraph (4) of this subsection
9 (g). For Tier 1, an Organizational Unit's Funding Gap
10 equals the tier's Target Ratio, as specified in paragraph
11 (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
12 Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
13 amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
14 Resources. For Tier 2, an Organizational Unit's Funding Gap
15 equals the tier's Target Ratio, as described in paragraph
16 (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
17 Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
18 amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
19 Resources and its Tier 1 funding allocation. To determine
20 the Organizational Unit's Funding Gap, the resulting
21 amount is then multiplied by a factor equal to one minus
22 the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target
23 percentage. Each Organizational Unit within Tier 3 or Tier
24 4 receives an allocation of New State Funds equal to the
25 product of its Adequacy Target and the tier's Allocation
26 Rate, as specified in paragraph (4) of this subsection (g).

HB5764- 936 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (2) To ensure equitable distribution of dollars for all
2 Tier 2 Organizational Units, no Tier 2 Organizational Unit
3 shall receive fewer dollars per ASE than any Tier 3
4 Organizational Unit. Each Tier 2 and Tier 3 Organizational
5 Unit shall have its funding allocation divided by its ASE.
6 Any Tier 2 Organizational Unit with a funding allocation
7 per ASE below the greatest Tier 3 allocation per ASE shall
8 get a funding allocation equal to the greatest Tier 3
9 funding allocation per ASE multiplied by the
10 Organizational Unit's ASE. Each Tier 2 Organizational
11 Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation shall be multiplied by the
12 percentage calculated by dividing the original Tier 2
13 Aggregate Funding by the sum of all Tier 2 Organizational
14 Units' Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation after adjusting
15 districts' funding below Tier 3 levels.
16 (3) Organizational Units are placed into one of 4 tiers
17 as follows:
18 (A) Tier 1 consists of all Organizational Units,
19 except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
20 Adequacy less than the Tier 1 Target Ratio. The Tier 1
21 Target Ratio is the ratio level that allows for Tier 1
22 Aggregate Funding to be distributed, with the Tier 1
23 Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4)
24 of this subsection (g).
25 (B) Tier 2 consists of all Tier 1 Units and all
26 other Organizational Units, except for Specially

HB5764- 937 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Funded Units, with a Percent of Adequacy of less than
2 0.90.
3 (C) Tier 3 consists of all Organizational Units,
4 except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
5 Adequacy of at least 0.90 and less than 1.0.
6 (D) Tier 4 consists of all Organizational Units
7 with a Percent of Adequacy of at least 1.0.
8 (4) The Allocation Rates for Tiers 1 through 4 are is
9 determined as follows:
10 (A) The Tier 1 Allocation Rate is 30%.
11 (B) The Tier 2 Allocation Rate is the result of the
12 following equation: Tier 2 Aggregate Funding, divided
13 by the sum of the Funding Gaps for all Tier 2
14 Organizational Units, unless the result of such
15 equation is higher than 1.0. If the result of such
16 equation is higher than 1.0, then the Tier 2 Allocation
17 Rate is 1.0.
18 (C) The Tier 3 Allocation Rate is the result of the
19 following equation: Tier 3 Aggregate Funding, divided
20 by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 3
21 Organizational Units.
22 (D) The Tier 4 Allocation Rate is the result of the
23 following equation: Tier 4 Aggregate Funding, divided
24 by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 4
25 Organizational Units.
26 (5) A tier's Target Ratio is determined as follows:

HB5764- 938 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (A) The Tier 1 Target Ratio is the ratio level that
2 allows for Tier 1 Aggregate Funding to be distributed
3 with the Tier 1 Allocation Rate.
4 (B) The Tier 2 Target Ratio is 0.90.
5 (C) The Tier 3 Target Ratio is 1.0.
6 (6) If, at any point, the Tier 1 Target Ratio is
7 greater than 90%, than all Tier 1 funding shall be
8 allocated to Tier 2 and no Tier 1 Organizational Unit's
9 funding may be identified.
10 (7) In the event that all Tier 2 Organizational Units
11 receive funding at the Tier 2 Target Ratio level, any
12 remaining New State Funds shall be allocated to Tier 3 and
13 Tier 4 Organizational Units.
14 (8) If any Specially Funded Units, excluding Glenwood
15 Academy, recognized by the State Board do not qualify for
16 direct funding following the implementation of Public Act
17 100-465 this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly
18 from any of the funding sources included within the
19 definition of Base Funding Minimum, the unqualified
20 portion of the Base Funding Minimum shall be transferred to
21 one or more appropriate Organizational Units as determined
22 by the State Superintendent based on the prior year ASE of
23 the Organizational Units.
24 (8.5) If a school district withdraws from a special
25 education cooperative, the portion of the Base Funding
26 Minimum that is attributable to the school district may be

HB5764- 939 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 redistributed to the school district upon withdrawal. The
2 school district and the cooperative must include the amount
3 of the Base Funding Minimum that is to be reapportioned
4 re-apportioned in their withdrawal agreement and notify
5 the State Board of the change with a copy of the agreement
6 upon withdrawal.
7 (9) The Minimum Funding Level is intended to establish
8 a target for State funding that will keep pace with
9 inflation and continue to advance equity through the
10 Evidence-Based Funding formula. The target for State
11 funding of New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds is
12 $50,000,000 for State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
13 fiscal years. The Minimum Funding Level is equal to
14 $350,000,000. In addition to any New State Funds, no more
15 than $50,000,000 New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds may be
16 counted toward towards the Minimum Funding Level. If the
17 sum of New State Funds and applicable New Property Tax
18 Relief Pool Funds are less than the Minimum Funding Level,
19 than funding for tiers shall be reduced in the following
20 manner:
21 (A) First, Tier 4 funding shall be reduced by an
22 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
23 Funding Level and New State Funds until such time as
24 Tier 4 funding is exhausted.
25 (B) Next, Tier 3 funding shall be reduced by an
26 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum

HB5764- 940 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
2 Tier 4 funding until such time as Tier 3 funding is
3 exhausted.
4 (C) Next, Tier 2 funding shall be reduced by an
5 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
6 Funding Level level and New new State Funds and the
7 reduction in Tier 4 and Tier 3.
8 (D) Finally, Tier 1 funding shall be reduced by an
9 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
10 Funding level and New State Funds and the reduction in
11 Tier 2, 3, and 4 funding. In addition, the Allocation
12 Rate for Tier 1 shall be reduced to a percentage equal
13 to the Tier 1 Allocation Rate allocation rate set by
14 paragraph (4) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
15 result of New State Funds divided by the Minimum
16 Funding Level.
17 (9.5) For State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
18 fiscal years, if New State Funds exceed $300,000,000, then
19 any amount in excess of $300,000,000 shall be dedicated for
20 purposes of Section 2-3.170 of this Code up to a maximum of
21 $50,000,000.
22 (10) In the event of a decrease in the amount of the
23 appropriation for this Section in any fiscal year after
24 implementation of this Section, the Organizational Units
25 receiving Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding, as determined under
26 paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), shall be held

HB5764- 941 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 harmless by establishing a Base Funding Guarantee equal to
2 the per pupil kindergarten through grade 12 funding
3 received in accordance with this Section in the prior
4 fiscal year. Reductions shall be made to the Base Funding
5 Minimum of Organizational Units in Tier 3 and Tier 4 on a
6 per pupil basis equivalent to the total number of the ASE
7 in Tier 3-funded and Tier 4-funded Organizational Units
8 divided by the total reduction in State funding. The Base
9 Funding Minimum as reduced shall continue to be applied to
10 Tier 3 and Tier 4 Organizational Units and adjusted by the
11 relative formula when increases in appropriations for this
12 Section resume. In no event may State funding reductions to
13 Organizational Units in Tier 3 or Tier 4 exceed an amount
14 that would be less than the Base Funding Minimum
15 established in the first year of implementation of this
16 Section. If additional reductions are required, all school

6bus. A school district, public school, charter school, or
7nonpublic school may authorize the self-administration of a
8medical cannabis infused product by a student who is a
9registered qualifying patient if the self-administration takes
10place under the direct supervision of a school nurse or school

15to other students.
16 (d) A school district or school may not discipline a
17student who is administered a medical cannabis infused product
18by a parent or guardian or other individual under this Section
19or who self-administers a medical cannabis infused product
20under the supervision of a school nurse or school administrator
21under this Section and may not deny the student's eligibility
22to attend school solely because the student requires the
23administration of the product.
24 (e) Nothing in this Section requires a member of a school's
25staff to administer a medical cannabis infused product to a
26student.

HB5764- 974 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (f) A school district, public school, charter school, or
2nonpublic school may not authorize the use of a medical
3cannabis infused product under this Section if the school
4district or school would lose federal funding as a result of
5the authorization.
6 (f-5) The State Board of Education, in consultation with
7the Department of Public Health, must develop a training
8curriculum for school nurses and school administrators on the
9administration of medical cannabis infused products. Prior to
10the administration of a medical cannabis infused product under

24 Sec. 22-85. Sexual abuse at schools.
25 (a) The General Assembly finds that:

HB5764- 975 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (1) investigation of a child regarding an incident of
2 sexual abuse can induce significant trauma for the child;
3 (2) it is desirable to prevent multiple interviews of a
4 child at a school; and
5 (3) it is important to recognize the role of Children's
6 Advocacy Centers in conducting developmentally appropriate
7 investigations.
8 (b) In this Section:
9 "Alleged incident of sexual abuse" is limited to an
10incident of sexual abuse of a child that is alleged to have
11been perpetrated by school personnel, including a school vendor
12or volunteer, that occurred (i) on school grounds or during a
13school activity or (ii) outside of school grounds or not during
14a school activity.
15 "Appropriate law enforcement agency" means a law
16enforcement agency whose employees have been involved, in some
17capacity, with an investigation of a particular alleged
18incident of sexual abuse.
19 (c) If a mandated reporter within a school has knowledge of
20an alleged incident of sexual abuse, the reporter must call the
21Department of Children and Family Services' hotline
22established under Section 7.6 of the Abused and Neglected Child
23Reporting Act immediately after obtaining the minimal
24information necessary to make a report, including the names of
25the affected parties and the allegations. The State Board of
26Education must make available materials detailing the

HB5764- 976 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1information that is necessary to enable notification to the
2Department of Children and Family Services of an alleged
3incident of sexual abuse. Each school must ensure that mandated
4reporters review the State Board of Education's materials and
5materials developed by the Department of Children and Family
6Services and distributed in the school building under Section 7
7of the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act at least once
8annually.
9 (d) For schools in a county with an accredited Children's
10Advocacy Center, every alleged incident of sexual abuse that is
11reported to the Department of Children and Family Services'
12hotline or a law enforcement agency and is subsequently
13accepted for investigation must be referred by the entity that
14received the report to the local Children's Advocacy Center
15pursuant to that county's multidisciplinary team's protocol
16under the Children's Advocacy Center Act for investigating
17child sexual abuse allegations.
18 (e) A county's local Children's Advocacy Center must, at a
19minimum, do both of the following regarding a referred case of
20an alleged incident of sexual abuse:
21 (1) Coordinate the investigation of the alleged
22 incident, as governed by the local Children's Advocacy
23 Center's existing multidisciplinary team protocol and
24 according to National Children's Alliance accreditation
25 standards.
26 (2) Facilitate communication between the

HB5764- 977 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 multidisciplinary team investigating the alleged incident
2 of sexual abuse and, if applicable, the referring school's
3 (i) Title IX officer, or his or her designee, (ii) school
4 resource officer, or (iii) personnel leading the school's
5 investigation into the alleged incident of sexual abuse. If
6 a school uses a designated entity to investigate a sexual
7 abuse allegation, the multidisciplinary team may
8 correspond only with that entity and any reference in this
9 Section to "school" refers to that designated entity. This
10 facilitation of communication must, at a minimum, ensure
11 that all applicable parties have each other's contact
12 information and must share the county's local Children's
13 Advocacy Center's protocol regarding the process of
14 approving the viewing of a forensic interview, as defined
15 under Section 2.5 of the Children's Advocacy Center Act, by
16 school personnel and a contact person for questions
17 relating to the protocol.
18 (f) After an alleged incident of sexual abuse is accepted
19for investigation by the Department of Children and Family
20Services or a law enforcement agency and while the criminal and
21child abuse investigations related to that alleged incident are
22being conducted by the local multidisciplinary team, the school
23relevant to the alleged incident of sexual abuse must comply
24with both of the following:
25 (1) It may not interview the alleged victim regarding
26 details of the alleged incident of sexual abuse until after

HB5764- 978 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the completion of the forensic interview of that victim is
2 conducted at a Children's Advocacy Center. This paragraph
3 does not prohibit a school from requesting information from
4 the alleged victim or his or her parent or guardian to
5 ensure the safety and well-being of the alleged victim at
6 school during an investigation.
7 (2) If asked by a law enforcement agency or an
8 investigator of the Department of Children and Family
9 Services who is conducting the investigation, it must
10 inform those individuals of any evidence the school has
11 gathered pertaining to an alleged incident of sexual abuse,
12 as permissible by federal or State law.
13 (g) After completion of a forensic interview, the
14multidisciplinary team must notify the school relevant to the
15alleged incident of sexual abuse of its completion. If, for any
16reason, a multidisciplinary team determines it will not conduct
17a forensic interview in a specific investigation, the
18multidisciplinary team must notify the school as soon as the
19determination is made. If a forensic interview has not been
20conducted within 15 calendar days after opening an
21investigation, the school may notify the multidisciplinary
22team that it intends to interview the alleged victim. No later
23than 10 calendar days after this notification, the
24multidisciplinary team may conduct the forensic interview and,
25if the multidisciplinary team does not conduct the interview,
26the school may proceed with its interview.

HB5764- 979 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (h) To the greatest extent possible considering student
2safety and Title IX compliance, school personnel may view the
3electronic recordings of a forensic interview of an alleged
4victim of an incident of sexual abuse. As a means to avoid
5additional interviews of an alleged victim, school personnel
6must be granted viewing access to the electronic recording of a
7forensic interview conducted at an accredited Children's
8Advocacy Center for an alleged incident of sexual abuse only if
9the school receives (i) approval from the multidisciplinary
10team investigating the case and (ii) informed consent by a
11child over the age of 13 or the child's parent or guardian.
12Each county's local Children's Advocacy Center and
13multidisciplinary team must establish an internal protocol
14regarding the process of approving the viewing of the forensic
15interview, and this process and the contact person must be
16shared with the school contact at the time of the initial
17facilitation. Whenever possible, the school's viewing of the
18electronic recording of a forensic interview should be
19conducted in lieu of the need for additional interviews.
20 (i) For an alleged incident of sexual abuse that has been
21accepted for investigation by a multidisciplinary team, if,
22during the course of its internal investigation and at any
23point during or after the multidisciplinary team's
24investigation, the school determines that it needs to interview
25the alleged victim to successfully complete its investigation
26and the victim is under 18 years of age, a child advocate must

HB5764- 980 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1be made available to the student and may be present during the
2school's interview. A child advocate may be a school social
3worker, a school or equally qualified psychologist, or a person
4in a position the State Board of Education has identified as an
5appropriate advocate for the student during a school's
6investigation into an alleged incident of sexual abuse.
7 (j) The Department of Children and Family Services must
8notify the relevant school when an agency investigation of an
9alleged incident of sexual abuse is complete. The notification
10must include information on the outcome of that investigation.
11 (k) The appropriate law enforcement agency must notify the
12relevant school when an agency investigation of an alleged
13incident of sexual abuse is complete or has been suspended. The
14notification must include information on the outcome of that
15investigation.
16 (l) This Section applies to all schools operating under
17this Code, including, but not limited to, public schools
18located in cities having a population of more than 500,000, a
19school operated pursuant to an agreement with a public school
20district, alternative schools operated by third parties, an
21alternative learning opportunities program, a public school
22administered by a local public agency or the Department of
23Human Services, charter schools operating under the authority
24of Article 27A, and non-public schools recognized by the State
25Board of Education.

6 Sec. 24-12. Removal or dismissal of teachers in contractual
7continued service.
8 (a) This subsection (a) applies only to honorable
9dismissals and recalls in which the notice of dismissal is
10provided on or before the end of the 2010-2011 school term. If
11a teacher in contractual continued service is removed or
12dismissed as a result of a decision of the board to decrease
13the number of teachers employed by the board or to discontinue
14some particular type of teaching service, written notice shall
15be mailed to the teacher and also given the teacher either by
16certified mail, return receipt requested or personal delivery
17with receipt at least 60 days before the end of the school
18term, together with a statement of honorable dismissal and the
19reason therefor, and in all such cases the board shall first
20remove or dismiss all teachers who have not entered upon
21contractual continued service before removing or dismissing
22any teacher who has entered upon contractual continued service
23and who is legally qualified to hold a position currently held
24by a teacher who has not entered upon contractual continued
25service.

HB5764- 985 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 As between teachers who have entered upon contractual
2continued service, the teacher or teachers with the shorter
3length of continuing service with the district shall be
4dismissed first unless an alternative method of determining the
5sequence of dismissal is established in a collective bargaining
6agreement or contract between the board and a professional
7faculty members' organization and except that this provision
8shall not impair the operation of any affirmative action
9program in the district, regardless of whether it exists by
10operation of law or is conducted on a voluntary basis by the
11board. Any teacher dismissed as a result of such decrease or
12discontinuance shall be paid all earned compensation on or
13before the third business day following the last day of pupil
14attendance in the regular school term.
15 If the board has any vacancies for the following school
16term or within one calendar year from the beginning of the
17following school term, the positions thereby becoming
18available shall be tendered to the teachers so removed or
19dismissed so far as they are legally qualified to hold such
20positions; provided, however, that if the number of honorable
21dismissal notices based on economic necessity exceeds 15% of
22the number of full-time equivalent positions filled by
23certified employees (excluding principals and administrative
24personnel) during the preceding school year, then if the board
25has any vacancies for the following school term or within 2
26calendar years from the beginning of the following school term,

HB5764- 986 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1the positions so becoming available shall be tendered to the
2teachers who were so notified and removed or dismissed whenever
3they are legally qualified to hold such positions. Each board
4shall, in consultation with any exclusive employee
5representatives, each year establish a list, categorized by
6positions, showing the length of continuing service of each
7teacher who is qualified to hold any such positions, unless an
8alternative method of determining a sequence of dismissal is
9established as provided for in this Section, in which case a
10list shall be made in accordance with the alternative method.
11Copies of the list shall be distributed to the exclusive
12employee representative on or before February 1 of each year.
13Whenever the number of honorable dismissal notices based upon
14economic necessity exceeds 5, or 150% of the average number of
15teachers honorably dismissed in the preceding 3 years,
16whichever is more, then the board also shall hold a public
17hearing on the question of the dismissals. Following the
18hearing and board review, the action to approve any such
19reduction shall require a majority vote of the board members.
20 (b) This subsection (b) applies only to honorable
21dismissals and recalls in which the notice of dismissal is
22provided during the 2011-2012 school term or a subsequent
23school term. If any teacher, whether or not in contractual
24continued service, is removed or dismissed as a result of a
25decision of a school board to decrease the number of teachers
26employed by the board, a decision of a school board to

HB5764- 987 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1discontinue some particular type of teaching service, or a
2reduction in the number of programs or positions in a special
3education joint agreement, then written notice must be mailed
4to the teacher and also given to the teacher either by
5certified mail, return receipt requested, or personal delivery
6with receipt at least 45 days before the end of the school
7term, together with a statement of honorable dismissal and the
8reason therefor, and in all such cases the sequence of
9dismissal shall occur in accordance with this subsection (b);
10except that this subsection (b) shall not impair the operation
11of any affirmative action program in the school district,
12regardless of whether it exists by operation of law or is
13conducted on a voluntary basis by the board.
14 Each teacher must be categorized into one or more positions
15for which the teacher is qualified to hold, based upon legal
16qualifications and any other qualifications established in a
17district or joint agreement job description, on or before the
18May 10 prior to the school year during which the sequence of
19dismissal is determined. Within each position and subject to
20agreements made by the joint committee on honorable dismissals
21that are authorized by subsection (c) of this Section, the
22school district or joint agreement must establish 4 groupings
23of teachers qualified to hold the position as follows:
24 (1) Grouping one shall consist of each teacher who is
25 not in contractual continued service and who (i) has not
26 received a performance evaluation rating, (ii) is employed

HB5764- 988 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 for one school term or less to replace a teacher on leave,
2 or (iii) is employed on a part-time basis. "Part-time
3 basis" for the purposes of this subsection (b) means a
4 teacher who is employed to teach less than a full-day,
5 teacher workload or less than 5 days of the normal student
6 attendance week, unless otherwise provided for in a
7 collective bargaining agreement between the district and
8 the exclusive representative of the district's teachers.
9 For the purposes of this Section, a teacher (A) who is
10 employed as a full-time teacher but who actually teaches or
11 is otherwise present and participating in the district's
12 educational program for less than a school term or (B) who,
13 in the immediately previous school term, was employed on a
14 full-time basis and actually taught or was otherwise
15 present and participated in the district's educational
16 program for 120 days or more is not considered employed on
17 a part-time basis.
18 (2) Grouping 2 shall consist of each teacher with a
19 Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory performance evaluation
20 rating on either of the teacher's last 2 performance
21 evaluation ratings.
22 (3) Grouping 3 shall consist of each teacher with a
23 performance evaluation rating of at least Satisfactory or
24 Proficient on both of the teacher's last 2 performance
25 evaluation ratings, if 2 ratings are available, or on the
26 teacher's last performance evaluation rating, if only one

HB5764- 989 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 rating is available, unless the teacher qualifies for
2 placement into grouping 4.
3 (4) Grouping 4 shall consist of each teacher whose last
4 2 performance evaluation ratings are Excellent and each
5 teacher with 2 Excellent performance evaluation ratings
6 out of the teacher's last 3 performance evaluation ratings
7 with a third rating of Satisfactory or Proficient.
8 Among teachers qualified to hold a position, teachers must
9be dismissed in the order of their groupings, with teachers in
10grouping one dismissed first and teachers in grouping 4
11dismissed last.
12 Within grouping one, the sequence of dismissal must be at
13the discretion of the school district or joint agreement.
14Within grouping 2, the sequence of dismissal must be based upon
15average performance evaluation ratings, with the teacher or
16teachers with the lowest average performance evaluation rating
17dismissed first. A teacher's average performance evaluation
18rating must be calculated using the average of the teacher's
19last 2 performance evaluation ratings, if 2 ratings are
20available, or the teacher's last performance evaluation
21rating, if only one rating is available, using the following
22numerical values: 4 for Excellent; 3 for Proficient or
23Satisfactory; 2 for Needs Improvement; and 1 for
24Unsatisfactory. As between or among teachers in grouping 2 with
25the same average performance evaluation rating and within each
26of groupings 3 and 4, the teacher or teachers with the shorter

HB5764- 990 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1length of continuing service with the school district or joint
2agreement must be dismissed first unless an alternative method
3of determining the sequence of dismissal is established in a
4collective bargaining agreement or contract between the board
5and a professional faculty members' organization.
6 Each board, including the governing board of a joint
7agreement, shall, in consultation with any exclusive employee
8representatives, each year establish a sequence of honorable
9dismissal list categorized by positions and the groupings
10defined in this subsection (b). Copies of the list showing each
11teacher by name and categorized by positions and the groupings
12defined in this subsection (b) must be distributed to the
13exclusive bargaining representative at least 75 days before the
14end of the school term, provided that the school district or
15joint agreement may, with notice to any exclusive employee
16representatives, move teachers from grouping one into another
17grouping during the period of time from 75 days until 45 days
18before the end of the school term. Each year, each board shall
19also establish, in consultation with any exclusive employee
20representatives, a list showing the length of continuing
21service of each teacher who is qualified to hold any such
22positions, unless an alternative method of determining a
23sequence of dismissal is established as provided for in this
24Section, in which case a list must be made in accordance with
25the alternative method. Copies of the list must be distributed
26to the exclusive employee representative at least 75 days

HB5764- 991 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1before the end of the school term.
2 Any teacher dismissed as a result of such decrease or
3discontinuance must be paid all earned compensation on or
4before the third business day following the last day of pupil
5attendance in the regular school term.
6 If the board or joint agreement has any vacancies for the
7following school term or within one calendar year from the
8beginning of the following school term, the positions thereby
9becoming available must be tendered to the teachers so removed
10or dismissed who were in grouping groupings 3 or 4 of the
11sequence of dismissal and are qualified to hold the positions,
12based upon legal qualifications and any other qualifications
13established in a district or joint agreement job description,
14on or before the May 10 prior to the date of the positions
15becoming available, provided that if the number of honorable
16dismissal notices based on economic necessity exceeds 15% of
17the number of full-time equivalent positions filled by
18certified employees (excluding principals and administrative
19personnel) during the preceding school year, then the recall
20period is for the following school term or within 2 calendar
21years from the beginning of the following school term. If the
22board or joint agreement has any vacancies within the period
23from the beginning of the following school term through
24February 1 of the following school term (unless a date later
25than February 1, but no later than 6 months from the beginning
26of the following school term, is established in a collective

HB5764- 992 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1bargaining agreement), the positions thereby becoming
2available must be tendered to the teachers so removed or
3dismissed who were in grouping 2 of the sequence of dismissal
4due to one "needs improvement" rating on either of the
5teacher's last 2 performance evaluation ratings, provided
6that, if 2 ratings are available, the other performance
7evaluation rating used for grouping purposes is
8"satisfactory", "proficient", or "excellent", and are
9qualified to hold the positions, based upon legal
10qualifications and any other qualifications established in a
11district or joint agreement job description, on or before the
12May 10 prior to the date of the positions becoming available.
13On and after July 1, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act
1498-648), the preceding sentence shall apply to teachers removed
15or dismissed by honorable dismissal, even if notice of
16honorable dismissal occurred during the 2013-2014 school year.
17Among teachers eligible for recall pursuant to the preceding
18sentence, the order of recall must be in inverse order of
19dismissal, unless an alternative order of recall is established
20in a collective bargaining agreement or contract between the
21board and a professional faculty members' organization.
22Whenever the number of honorable dismissal notices based upon
23economic necessity exceeds 5 notices or 150% of the average
24number of teachers honorably dismissed in the preceding 3
25years, whichever is more, then the school board or governing
26board of a joint agreement, as applicable, shall also hold a

HB5764- 993 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1public hearing on the question of the dismissals. Following the
2hearing and board review, the action to approve any such
3reduction shall require a majority vote of the board members.
4 For purposes of this subsection (b), subject to agreement
5on an alternative definition reached by the joint committee
6described in subsection (c) of this Section, a teacher's
7performance evaluation rating means the overall performance
8evaluation rating resulting from an annual or biennial
9performance evaluation conducted pursuant to Article 24A of
10this Code by the school district or joint agreement determining
11the sequence of dismissal, not including any performance
12evaluation conducted during or at the end of a remediation
13period. No more than one evaluation rating each school term
14shall be one of the evaluation ratings used for the purpose of
15determining the sequence of dismissal. Except as otherwise
16provided in this subsection for any performance evaluations
17conducted during or at the end of a remediation period, if
18multiple performance evaluations are conducted in a school
19term, only the rating from the last evaluation conducted prior
20to establishing the sequence of honorable dismissal list in
21such school term shall be the one evaluation rating from that
22school term used for the purpose of determining the sequence of
23dismissal. Averaging ratings from multiple evaluations is not
24permitted unless otherwise agreed to in a collective bargaining
25agreement or contract between the board and a professional
26faculty members' organization. The preceding 3 sentences are

HB5764- 994 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1not a legislative declaration that existing law does or does
2not already require that only one performance evaluation each
3school term shall be used for the purpose of determining the
4sequence of dismissal. For performance evaluation ratings
5determined prior to September 1, 2012, any school district or
6joint agreement with a performance evaluation rating system
7that does not use either of the rating category systems
8specified in subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this Code for
9all teachers must establish a basis for assigning each teacher
10a rating that complies with subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of
11this Code for all of the performance evaluation ratings that
12are to be used to determine the sequence of dismissal. A
13teacher's grouping and ranking on a sequence of honorable
14dismissal shall be deemed a part of the teacher's performance
15evaluation, and that information shall be disclosed to the
16exclusive bargaining representative as part of a sequence of
17honorable dismissal list, notwithstanding any laws prohibiting
18disclosure of such information. A performance evaluation
19rating may be used to determine the sequence of dismissal,
20notwithstanding the pendency of any grievance resolution or
21arbitration procedures relating to the performance evaluation.
22If a teacher has received at least one performance evaluation
23rating conducted by the school district or joint agreement
24determining the sequence of dismissal and a subsequent
25performance evaluation is not conducted in any school year in
26which such evaluation is required to be conducted under Section

HB5764- 995 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
124A-5 of this Code, the teacher's performance evaluation rating
2for that school year for purposes of determining the sequence
3of dismissal is deemed Proficient. If a performance evaluation
4rating is nullified as the result of an arbitration,
5administrative agency, or court determination, then the school
6district or joint agreement is deemed to have conducted a
7performance evaluation for that school year, but the
8performance evaluation rating may not be used in determining
9the sequence of dismissal.
10 Nothing in this subsection (b) shall be construed as
11limiting the right of a school board or governing board of a
12joint agreement to dismiss a teacher not in contractual
13continued service in accordance with Section 24-11 of this
14Code.
15 Any provisions regarding the sequence of honorable
16dismissals and recall of honorably dismissed teachers in a
17collective bargaining agreement entered into on or before
18January 1, 2011 and in effect on June 13, 2011 (the effective
19date of Public Act 97-8) that may conflict with Public Act 97-8
20shall remain in effect through the expiration of such agreement
21or June 30, 2013, whichever is earlier.
22 (c) Each school district and special education joint
23agreement must use a joint committee composed of equal
24representation selected by the school board and its teachers
25or, if applicable, the exclusive bargaining representative of
26its teachers, to address the matters described in paragraphs

HB5764- 996 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1(1) through (5) of this subsection (c) pertaining to honorable
2dismissals under subsection (b) of this Section.
3 (1) The joint committee must consider and may agree to
4 criteria for excluding from grouping 2 and placing into
5 grouping 3 a teacher whose last 2 performance evaluations
6 include a Needs Improvement and either a Proficient or
7 Excellent.
8 (2) The joint committee must consider and may agree to
9 an alternative definition for grouping 4, which definition
10 must take into account prior performance evaluation
11 ratings and may take into account other factors that relate
12 to the school district's or program's educational
13 objectives. An alternative definition for grouping 4 may
14 not permit the inclusion of a teacher in the grouping with
15 a Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory performance
16 evaluation rating on either of the teacher's last 2
17 performance evaluation ratings.
18 (3) The joint committee may agree to including within
19 the definition of a performance evaluation rating a
20 performance evaluation rating administered by a school
21 district or joint agreement other than the school district
22 or joint agreement determining the sequence of dismissal.
23 (4) For each school district or joint agreement that
24 administers performance evaluation ratings that are
25 inconsistent with either of the rating category systems
26 specified in subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this Code,

HB5764- 997 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the school district or joint agreement must consult with
2 the joint committee on the basis for assigning a rating
3 that complies with subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this
4 Code to each performance evaluation rating that will be
5 used in a sequence of dismissal.
6 (5) Upon request by a joint committee member submitted
7 to the employing board by no later than 10 days after the
8 distribution of the sequence of honorable dismissal list, a
9 representative of the employing board shall, within 5 days
10 after the request, provide to members of the joint
11 committee a list showing the most recent and prior
12 performance evaluation ratings of each teacher identified
13 only by length of continuing service in the district or
14 joint agreement and not by name. If, after review of this
15 list, a member of the joint committee has a good faith
16 belief that a disproportionate number of teachers with
17 greater length of continuing service with the district or
18 joint agreement have received a recent performance
19 evaluation rating lower than the prior rating, the member
20 may request that the joint committee review the list to
21 assess whether such a trend may exist. Following the joint
22 committee's review, but by no later than the end of the
23 applicable school term, the joint committee or any member
24 or members of the joint committee may submit a report of
25 the review to the employing board and exclusive bargaining
26 representative, if any. Nothing in this paragraph (5) shall

HB5764- 998 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 impact the order of honorable dismissal or a school
2 district's or joint agreement's authority to carry out a
3 dismissal in accordance with subsection (b) of this
4 Section.
5 Agreement by the joint committee as to a matter requires
6the majority vote of all committee members, and if the joint
7committee does not reach agreement on a matter, then the
8otherwise applicable requirements of subsection (b) of this
9Section shall apply. Except as explicitly set forth in this
10subsection (c), a joint committee has no authority to agree to
11any further modifications to the requirements for honorable
12dismissals set forth in subsection (b) of this Section. The
13joint committee must be established, and the first meeting of
14the joint committee each school year must occur on or before
15December 1.
16 The joint committee must reach agreement on a matter on or
17before February 1 of a school year in order for the agreement
18of the joint committee to apply to the sequence of dismissal
19determined during that school year. Subject to the February 1
20deadline for agreements, the agreement of a joint committee on
21a matter shall apply to the sequence of dismissal until the
22agreement is amended or terminated by the joint committee.
23 The provisions of the Open Meetings Act shall not apply to
24meetings of a joint committee created under this subsection
25(c).
26 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

HB5764- 999 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1subsection (d), the requirements and dismissal procedures of
2Section 24-16.5 of this Code shall apply to any dismissal
3sought under Section 24-16.5 of this Code.
4 (1) If a dismissal of a teacher in contractual
5 continued service is sought for any reason or cause other
6 than an honorable dismissal under subsections (a) or (b) of
7 this Section or a dismissal sought under Section 24-16.5 of
8 this Code, including those under Section 10-22.4, the board
9 must first approve a motion containing specific charges by
10 a majority vote of all its members. Written notice of such
11 charges, including a bill of particulars and the teacher's
12 right to request a hearing, must be mailed to the teacher
13 and also given to the teacher either by certified mail,
14 return receipt requested, or personal delivery with
15 receipt within 5 days of the adoption of the motion. Any
16 written notice sent on or after July 1, 2012 shall inform
17 the teacher of the right to request a hearing before a
18 mutually selected hearing officer, with the cost of the
19 hearing officer split equally between the teacher and the
20 board, or a hearing before a board-selected hearing
21 officer, with the cost of the hearing officer paid by the
22 board.
23 Before setting a hearing on charges stemming from
24 causes that are considered remediable, a board must give
25 the teacher reasonable warning in writing, stating
26 specifically the causes that, if not removed, may result in

HB5764- 1000 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 charges; however, no such written warning is required if
2 the causes have been the subject of a remediation plan
3 pursuant to Article 24A of this Code.
4 If, in the opinion of the board, the interests of the
5 school require it, the board may suspend the teacher
6 without pay, pending the hearing, but if the board's
7 dismissal or removal is not sustained, the teacher shall
8 not suffer the loss of any salary or benefits by reason of
9 the suspension.
10 (2) No hearing upon the charges is required unless the
11 teacher within 17 days after receiving notice requests in
12 writing of the board that a hearing be scheduled before a
13 mutually selected hearing officer or a hearing officer
14 selected by the board. The secretary of the school board
15 shall forward a copy of the notice to the State Board of
16 Education.
17 (3) Within 5 business days after receiving a notice of
18 hearing in which either notice to the teacher was sent
19 before July 1, 2012 or, if the notice was sent on or after
20 July 1, 2012, the teacher has requested a hearing before a
21 mutually selected hearing officer, the State Board of
22 Education shall provide a list of 5 prospective, impartial
23 hearing officers from the master list of qualified,
24 impartial hearing officers maintained by the State Board of
25 Education. Each person on the master list must (i) be
26 accredited by a national arbitration organization and have

HB5764- 1001 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 had a minimum of 5 years of experience directly related to
2 labor and employment relations matters between employers
3 and employees or their exclusive bargaining
4 representatives and (ii) beginning September 1, 2012, have
5 participated in training provided or approved by the State
6 Board of Education for teacher dismissal hearing officers
7 so that he or she is familiar with issues generally
8 involved in evaluative and non-evaluative dismissals.
9 If notice to the teacher was sent before July 1, 2012
10 or, if the notice was sent on or after July 1, 2012, the
11 teacher has requested a hearing before a mutually selected
12 hearing officer, the board and the teacher or their legal
13 representatives within 3 business days shall alternately
14 strike one name from the list provided by the State Board
15 of Education until only one name remains. Unless waived by
16 the teacher, the teacher shall have the right to proceed
17 first with the striking. Within 3 business days of receipt
18 of the list provided by the State Board of Education, the
19 board and the teacher or their legal representatives shall
20 each have the right to reject all prospective hearing
21 officers named on the list and notify the State Board of
22 Education of such rejection. Within 3 business days after
23 receiving this notification, the State Board of Education
24 shall appoint a qualified person from the master list who
25 did not appear on the list sent to the parties to serve as
26 the hearing officer, unless the parties notify it that they

HB5764- 1002 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 have chosen to alternatively select a hearing officer under
2 paragraph (4) of this subsection (d).
3 If the teacher has requested a hearing before a hearing
4 officer selected by the board, the board shall select one
5 name from the master list of qualified impartial hearing
6 officers maintained by the State Board of Education within
7 3 business days after receipt and shall notify the State
8 Board of Education of its selection.
9 A hearing officer mutually selected by the parties,
10 selected by the board, or selected through an alternative
11 selection process under paragraph (4) of this subsection
12 (d) (A) must not be a resident of the school district, (B)
13 must be available to commence the hearing within 75 days
14 and conclude the hearing within 120 days after being
15 selected as the hearing officer, and (C) must issue a
16 decision as to whether the teacher must be dismissed and
17 give a copy of that decision to both the teacher and the
18 board within 30 days from the conclusion of the hearing or
19 closure of the record, whichever is later.
20 (4) In the alternative to selecting a hearing officer
21 from the list received from the State Board of Education or
22 accepting the appointment of a hearing officer by the State
23 Board of Education or if the State Board of Education
24 cannot provide a list or appoint a hearing officer that
25 meets the foregoing requirements, the board and the teacher
26 or their legal representatives may mutually agree to select

HB5764- 1003 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 an impartial hearing officer who is not on the master list
2 either by direct appointment by the parties or by using
3 procedures for the appointment of an arbitrator
4 established by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation
5 Service or the American Arbitration Association. The
6 parties shall notify the State Board of Education of their
7 intent to select a hearing officer using an alternative
8 procedure within 3 business days of receipt of a list of
9 prospective hearing officers provided by the State Board of
10 Education, notice of appointment of a hearing officer by
11 the State Board of Education, or receipt of notice from the
12 State Board of Education that it cannot provide a list that
13 meets the foregoing requirements, whichever is later.
14 (5) If the notice of dismissal was sent to the teacher
15 before July 1, 2012, the fees and costs for the hearing
16 officer must be paid by the State Board of Education. If
17 the notice of dismissal was sent to the teacher on or after
18 July 1, 2012, the hearing officer's fees and costs must be
19 paid as follows in this paragraph (5). The fees and
20 permissible costs for the hearing officer must be
21 determined by the State Board of Education. If the board
22 and the teacher or their legal representatives mutually
23 agree to select an impartial hearing officer who is not on
24 a list received from the State Board of Education, they may
25 agree to supplement the fees determined by the State Board
26 to the hearing officer, at a rate consistent with the

HB5764- 1004 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 hearing officer's published professional fees. If the
2 hearing officer is mutually selected by the parties, then
3 the board and the teacher or their legal representatives
4 shall each pay 50% of the fees and costs and any
5 supplemental allowance to which they agree. If the hearing
6 officer is selected by the board, then the board shall pay
7 100% of the hearing officer's fees and costs. The fees and
8 costs must be paid to the hearing officer within 14 days
9 after the board and the teacher or their legal
10 representatives receive the hearing officer's decision set
11 forth in paragraph (7) of this subsection (d).
12 (6) The teacher is required to answer the bill of
13 particulars and aver affirmative matters in his or her
14 defense, and the time for initially doing so and the time
15 for updating such answer and defenses after pre-hearing
16 discovery must be set by the hearing officer. The State
17 Board of Education shall promulgate rules so that each
18 party has a fair opportunity to present its case and to
19 ensure that the dismissal process proceeds in a fair and
20 expeditious manner. These rules shall address, without
21 limitation, discovery and hearing scheduling conferences;
22 the teacher's initial answer and affirmative defenses to
23 the bill of particulars and the updating of that
24 information after pre-hearing discovery; provision for
25 written interrogatories and requests for production of
26 documents; the requirement that each party initially

HB5764- 1005 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 disclose to the other party and then update the disclosure
2 no later than 10 calendar days prior to the commencement of
3 the hearing, the names and addresses of persons who may be
4 called as witnesses at the hearing, a summary of the facts
5 or opinions each witness will testify to, and all other
6 documents and materials, including information maintained
7 electronically, relevant to its own as well as the other
8 party's case (the hearing officer may exclude witnesses and
9 exhibits not identified and shared, except those offered in
10 rebuttal for which the party could not reasonably have
11 anticipated prior to the hearing); pre-hearing discovery
12 and preparation, including provision for written
13 interrogatories and requests for production of documents,
14 provided that discovery depositions are prohibited; the
15 conduct of the hearing; the right of each party to be
16 represented by counsel, the offer of evidence and witnesses
17 and the cross-examination of witnesses; the authority of
18 the hearing officer to issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces
19 tecum, provided that the hearing officer may limit the
20 number of witnesses to be subpoenaed on behalf of each
21 party to no more than 7; the length of post-hearing briefs;
22 and the form, length, and content of hearing officers'
23 decisions. The hearing officer shall hold a hearing and
24 render a final decision for dismissal pursuant to Article
25 24A of this Code or shall report to the school board
26 findings of fact and a recommendation as to whether or not

HB5764- 1006 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the teacher must be dismissed for conduct. The hearing
2 officer shall commence the hearing within 75 days and
3 conclude the hearing within 120 days after being selected
4 as the hearing officer, provided that the hearing officer
5 may modify these timelines upon the showing of good cause
6 or mutual agreement of the parties. Good cause for the
7 purpose of this subsection (d) shall mean the illness or
8 otherwise unavoidable emergency of the teacher, district
9 representative, their legal representatives, the hearing
10 officer, or an essential witness as indicated in each
11 party's pre-hearing submission. In a dismissal hearing
12 pursuant to Article 24A of this Code in which a witness is
13 a student or is under the age of 18, the hearing officer
14 must make accommodations for the witness, as provided under
15 paragraph (6.5) of this subsection. The hearing officer
16 shall consider and give weight to all of the teacher's
17 evaluations written pursuant to Article 24A that are
18 relevant to the issues in the hearing.
19 Each party shall have no more than 3 days to present
20 its case, unless extended by the hearing officer to enable
21 a party to present adequate evidence and testimony,
22 including due to the other party's cross-examination of the
23 party's witnesses, for good cause or by mutual agreement of
24 the parties. The State Board of Education shall define in
25 rules the meaning of "day" for such purposes. All testimony
26 at the hearing shall be taken under oath administered by

HB5764- 1007 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the hearing officer. The hearing officer shall cause a
2 record of the proceedings to be kept and shall employ a
3 competent reporter to take stenographic or stenotype notes
4 of all the testimony. The costs of the reporter's
5 attendance and services at the hearing shall be paid by the
6 party or parties who are responsible for paying the fees
7 and costs of the hearing officer. Either party desiring a
8 transcript of the hearing shall pay for the cost thereof.
9 Any post-hearing briefs must be submitted by the parties by
10 no later than 21 days after a party's receipt of the
11 transcript of the hearing, unless extended by the hearing
12 officer for good cause or by mutual agreement of the
13 parties.
14 (6.5) In the case of charges involving sexual abuse or
15 severe physical abuse of a student or a person under the
16 age of 18, the hearing officer shall make alternative
17 hearing procedures to protect a witness who is a student or
18 who is under the age of 18 from being intimidated or
19 traumatized. Alternative hearing procedures may include,
20 but are not limited to: (i) testimony made via a
21 telecommunication device in a location other than the
22 hearing room and outside the physical presence of the
23 teacher and other hearing participants, (ii) testimony
24 outside the physical presence of the teacher, or (iii)
25 non-public testimony. During a testimony described under
26 this subsection, each party must be permitted to ask a

HB5764- 1008 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 witness who is a student or who is under 18 years of age
2 all relevant questions and follow-up questions. All
3 questions must exclude evidence of the witness' sexual
4 behavior or predisposition, unless the evidence is offered
5 to prove that someone other than the teacher subject to the
6 dismissal hearing engaged in the charge at issue.
7 (7) The hearing officer shall, within 30 days from the
8 conclusion of the hearing or closure of the record,
9 whichever is later, make a decision as to whether or not
10 the teacher shall be dismissed pursuant to Article 24A of
11 this Code or report to the school board findings of fact
12 and a recommendation as to whether or not the teacher shall
13 be dismissed for cause and shall give a copy of the
14 decision or findings of fact and recommendation to both the
15 teacher and the school board. If a hearing officer fails
16 without good cause, specifically provided in writing to
17 both parties and the State Board of Education, to render a
18 decision or findings of fact and recommendation within 30
19 days after the hearing is concluded or the record is
20 closed, whichever is later, the parties may mutually agree
21 to select a hearing officer pursuant to the alternative
22 procedure, as provided in this Section, to rehear the
23 charges heard by the hearing officer who failed to render a
24 decision or findings of fact and recommendation or to
25 review the record and render a decision. If any hearing
26 officer fails without good cause, specifically provided in

HB5764- 1009 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 writing to both parties and the State Board of Education,
2 to render a decision or findings of fact and recommendation
3 within 30 days after the hearing is concluded or the record
4 is closed, whichever is later, the hearing officer shall be
5 removed from the master list of hearing officers maintained
6 by the State Board of Education for not more than 24
7 months. The parties and the State Board of Education may
8 also take such other actions as it deems appropriate,
9 including recovering, reducing, or withholding any fees
10 paid or to be paid to the hearing officer. If any hearing
11 officer repeats such failure, he or she must be permanently
12 removed from the master list maintained by the State Board
13 of Education and may not be selected by parties through the
14 alternative selection process under this paragraph (7) or
15 paragraph (4) of this subsection (d). The board shall not
16 lose jurisdiction to discharge a teacher if the hearing
17 officer fails to render a decision or findings of fact and
18 recommendation within the time specified in this Section.
19 If the decision of the hearing officer for dismissal
20 pursuant to Article 24A of this Code or of the school board
21 for dismissal for cause is in favor of the teacher, then
22 the hearing officer or school board shall order
23 reinstatement to the same or substantially equivalent
24 position and shall determine the amount for which the
25 school board is liable, including, but not limited to, loss
26 of income and benefits.

HB5764- 1010 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (8) The school board, within 45 days after receipt of
2 the hearing officer's findings of fact and recommendation
3 as to whether (i) the conduct at issue occurred, (ii) the
4 conduct that did occur was remediable, and (iii) the
5 proposed dismissal should be sustained, shall issue a
6 written order as to whether the teacher must be retained or
7 dismissed for cause from its employ. The school board's
8 written order shall incorporate the hearing officer's
9 findings of fact, except that the school board may modify
10 or supplement the findings of fact if, in its opinion, the
11 findings of fact are against the manifest weight of the
12 evidence.
13 If the school board dismisses the teacher
14 notwithstanding the hearing officer's findings of fact and
15 recommendation, the school board shall make a conclusion in
16 its written order, giving its reasons therefor, and such
17 conclusion and reasons must be included in its written
18 order. The failure of the school board to strictly adhere
19 to the timelines contained in this Section shall not render
20 it without jurisdiction to dismiss the teacher. The school
21 board shall not lose jurisdiction to discharge the teacher
22 for cause if the hearing officer fails to render a
23 recommendation within the time specified in this Section.
24 The decision of the school board is final, unless reviewed
25 as provided in paragraph (9) of this subsection (d).
26 If the school board retains the teacher, the school

HB5764- 1011 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 board shall enter a written order stating the amount of
2 back pay and lost benefits, less mitigation, to be paid to
3 the teacher, within 45 days after its retention order.
4 Should the teacher object to the amount of the back pay and
5 lost benefits or amount mitigated, the teacher shall give
6 written objections to the amount within 21 days. If the
7 parties fail to reach resolution within 7 days, the dispute
8 shall be referred to the hearing officer, who shall
9 consider the school board's written order and teacher's
10 written objection and determine the amount to which the
11 school board is liable. The costs of the hearing officer's
12 review and determination must be paid by the board.
13 (9) The decision of the hearing officer pursuant to
14 Article 24A of this Code or of the school board's decision
15 to dismiss for cause is final unless reviewed as provided
16 in Section 24-16 of this Code. If the school board's
17 decision to dismiss for cause is contrary to the hearing
18 officer's recommendation, the court on review shall give
19 consideration to the school board's decision and its
20 supplemental findings of fact, if applicable, and the
21 hearing officer's findings of fact and recommendation in
22 making its decision. In the event such review is
23 instituted, the school board shall be responsible for
24 preparing and filing the record of proceedings, and such
25 costs associated therewith must be divided equally between
26 the parties.

HB5764- 1012 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (10) If a decision of the hearing officer for dismissal
2 pursuant to Article 24A of this Code or of the school board
3 for dismissal for cause is adjudicated upon review or
4 appeal in favor of the teacher, then the trial court shall
5 order reinstatement and shall remand the matter to the
6 school board with direction for entry of an order setting
7 the amount of back pay, lost benefits, and costs, less
8 mitigation. The teacher may challenge the school board's
9 order setting the amount of back pay, lost benefits, and
10 costs, less mitigation, through an expedited arbitration
11 procedure, with the costs of the arbitrator borne by the
12 school board.
13 Any teacher who is reinstated by any hearing or
14 adjudication brought under this Section shall be assigned
15 by the board to a position substantially similar to the one
16 which that teacher held prior to that teacher's suspension
17 or dismissal.
18 (11) Subject to any later effective date referenced in
19 this Section for a specific aspect of the dismissal
20 process, the changes made by Public Act 97-8 shall apply to
21 dismissals instituted on or after September 1, 2011. Any
22 dismissal instituted prior to September 1, 2011 must be
23 carried out in accordance with the requirements of this
24 Section prior to amendment by Public Act 97-8.
25 (e) Nothing contained in Public Act 98-648 repeals,
26supersedes, invalidates, or nullifies final decisions in

3 Sec. 27-24.2. Safety education; driver education course.
4Instruction shall be given in safety education in each of
5grades one through 8, equivalent to one class period each week,

7shall offer a driver education course in any such school which
8it operates. Its curriculum shall include content dealing with
9Chapters 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
10the rules adopted pursuant to those Chapters insofar as they
11pertain to the operation of motor vehicles, and the portions of
12the Litter Control Act relating to the operation of motor
13vehicles. The course of instruction given in grades 10 through
1412 shall include an emphasis on the development of knowledge,
15attitudes, habits, and skills necessary for the safe operation
16of motor vehicles, including motorcycles insofar as they can be
17taught in the classroom, and instruction on distracted driving
18as a major traffic safety issue. In addition, the course shall
19include instruction on special hazards existing at and required
20safety and driving precautions that must be observed at
21emergency situations, highway construction and maintenance
22zones, and railroad crossings and the approaches thereto.
23Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year, the course shall also
24include instruction concerning law enforcement procedures for
25traffic stops, including a demonstration of the proper actions

HB5764- 1021 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

5minimum of 6 clock hours of individual behind-the-wheel
6instruction in a dual control car on public roadways taught by
7a driver education instructor endorsed by the State Board of
8Education. A school district's decision to allow a student to
9take a portion of the driver education course through a
10distance learning program must be determined on a case-by-case
11basis and must be approved by the school's administration,
12including the student's driver education teacher, and the
13student's parent or guardian. Under no circumstances may the
14student take the entire driver education course through a
15distance learning program. Both the classroom instruction part
16and the practice driving part of a driver education course
17shall be open to a resident or non-resident student attending a
18non-public school in the district wherein the course is
19offered. Each student attending any public or non-public high
20school in the district must receive a passing grade in at least
218 courses during the previous 2 semesters prior to enrolling in
22a driver education course, or the student shall not be
23permitted to enroll in the course; provided that the local
24superintendent of schools (with respect to a student attending
25a public high school in the district) or chief school
26administrator (with respect to a student attending a non-public

HB5764- 1022 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1high school in the district) may waive the requirement if the
2superintendent or chief school administrator, as the case may
3be, deems it to be in the best interest of the student. A
4student may be allowed to commence the classroom instruction
5part of such driver education course prior to reaching age 15
6if such student then will be eligible to complete the entire
7course within 12 months after being allowed to commence such
8classroom instruction.
9 A school district may offer a driver education course in a
10school by contracting with a commercial driver training school
11to provide both the classroom instruction part and the practice
12driving part or either one without having to request a
13modification or waiver of administrative rules of the State
14Board of Education if the school district approves the action
15during a public hearing on whether to enter into a contract
16with a commercial driver training school. The public hearing
17shall be held at a regular or special school board meeting
18prior to entering into such a contract. If a school district
19chooses to approve a contract with a commercial driver training
20school, then the district must provide evidence to the State
21Board of Education that the commercial driver training school
22with which it will contract holds a license issued by the
23Secretary of State under Article IV of Chapter 6 of the
24Illinois Vehicle Code and that each instructor employed by the
25commercial driver training school to provide instruction to
26students served by the school district holds a valid teaching

HB5764- 1023 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1license issued under the requirements of this Code and rules of
2the State Board of Education. Such evidence must include, but
3need not be limited to, a list of each instructor assigned to
4teach students served by the school district, which list shall
5include the instructor's name, personal identification number
6as required by the State Board of Education, birth date, and
7driver's license number. Once the contract is entered into, the
8school district shall notify the State Board of Education of
9any changes in the personnel providing instruction either (i)
10within 15 calendar days after an instructor leaves the program
11or (ii) before a new instructor is hired. Such notification
12shall include the instructor's name, personal identification
13number as required by the State Board of Education, birth date,
14and driver's license number. If the school district maintains
15an Internet website, then the district shall post a copy of the
16final contract between the district and the commercial driver
17training school on the district's Internet website. If no
18Internet website exists, then the school district shall make
19available the contract upon request. A record of all materials
20in relation to the contract must be maintained by the school
21district and made available to parents and guardians upon
22request. The instructor's date of birth and driver's license
23number and any other personally identifying information as
24deemed by the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994
25must be redacted from any public materials.
26 Such a course may be commenced immediately after the

HB5764- 1024 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1completion of a prior course. Teachers of such courses shall
2meet the licensure requirements of this Code and regulations of
3the State Board as to qualifications. Except for a contract
4with a Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist, a school
5district that contracts with a third party to teach a driver
6education course under this Section must ensure the teacher
7meets the educator licensure and endorsement requirements
8under Article 21B and must follow the same evaluation and
9observation requirements that apply to non-tenured teachers
10under Article 24A. The teacher evaluation must be conducted by
11a school administrator employed by the school district and must
12be submitted annually to the district superintendent and all
13school board members for oversight purposes.
14 Subject to rules of the State Board of Education, the
15school district may charge a reasonable fee, not to exceed $50,
16to students who participate in the course, unless a student is
17unable to pay for such a course, in which event the fee for
18such a student must be waived. However, the district may
19increase this fee to an amount not to exceed $250 by school
20board resolution following a public hearing on the increase,
21which increased fee must be waived for students who participate
22in the course and are unable to pay for the course. The total
23amount from driver education fees and reimbursement from the
24State for driver education must not exceed the total cost of
25the driver education program in any year and must be deposited
26into the school district's driver education fund as a separate

5 branch of an out-of-state bank causes to be performed, by
6 contract or otherwise, any bank services for itself,
7 whether on or off its premises:
8 (a) that performance shall be subject to
9 examination by the Commissioner to the same extent as
10 if services were being performed by the bank or, after
11 May 31, 1997, branch of the out-of-state bank itself on
12 its own premises; and
13 (b) the bank or, after May 31, 1997, branch of the

13 calculation of the Call Report Fee, the Secretary may
14 specify by rule that the Call Report Fees provided by
15 this Section may be assessed semiannually or some other
16 period and may provide in the rule the formula to be
17 used for calculating and assessing the periodic Call
18 Report Fees to be paid by State banks.
19 (a-1) If in the opinion of the Commissioner an
20 emergency exists or appears likely, the Commissioner
21 may assign an examiner or examiners to monitor the
22 affairs of a State bank with whatever frequency he
23 deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, a
24 daily basis. The reasonable and necessary expenses of
25 the Commissioner during the period of the monitoring
26 shall be borne by the subject bank. The Commissioner

HB5764- 1110 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2 expenses if requested to do so within 30 days of the

21 borne by the state regulatory authorities that
22 chartered the out-of-state banks, as determined by
23 cooperative agreements between the Commissioner and
24 the state regulatory authorities that chartered the
25 out-of-state banks.
26 (b) "Fiscal year" for purposes of this Section 48

HB5764- 1111 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 is defined as a period beginning July 1 of any year and
2 ending June 30 of the next year. The Commissioner shall
3 receive for each fiscal year, commencing with the
4 fiscal year ending June 30, 1987, a contingent fee
5 equal to the lesser of the aggregate of the fees paid
6 by all State banks under paragraph (a) of subsection
7 (3) for that year, or the amount, if any, whereby the
8 aggregate of the administration expenses, as defined
9 in paragraph (c), for that fiscal year exceeds the sum
10 of the aggregate of the fees payable by all State banks
11 for that year under paragraph (a) of subsection (3),
12 plus any amounts transferred into the Bank and Trust
13 Company Fund from the State Pensions Fund for that
14 year, plus all other amounts collected by the
15 Commissioner for that year under any other provision of
16 this Act, plus the aggregate of all fees collected for
17 that year by the Commissioner under the Corporate
18 Fiduciary Act, excluding the receivership fees
19 provided for in Section 5-10 of the Corporate Fiduciary
20 Act, and the Foreign Banking Office Act. The aggregate
21 amount of the contingent fee thus arrived at for any
22 fiscal year shall be apportioned amongst, assessed
23 upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign banking
24 corporations, respectively, in the same proportion
25 that the fee of each under paragraph (a) of subsection
26 (3), respectively, for that year bears to the aggregate

HB5764- 1112 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 for that year of the fees collected under paragraph (a)
2 of subsection (3). The aggregate amount of the
3 contingent fee, and the portion thereof to be assessed
4 upon each State bank and foreign banking corporation,
5 respectively, shall be determined by the Commissioner
6 and shall be paid by each, respectively, within 120
7 days of the close of the period for which the
8 contingent fee is computed and is payable, and the
9 Commissioner shall give 20 days' advance notice of the
10 amount of the contingent fee payable by the State bank
11 and of the date fixed by the Commissioner for payment
12 of the fee.
13 (c) The "administration expenses" for any fiscal
14 year shall mean the ordinary and contingent expenses
15 for that year incident to making the examinations
16 provided for by, and for otherwise administering, this
17 Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act, excluding the
18 expenses paid from the Corporate Fiduciary
19 Receivership account in the Bank and Trust Company
20 Fund, the Foreign Banking Office Act, the Electronic
21 Fund Transfer Act, and the Illinois Bank Examiners'
22 Education Foundation Act, including all salaries and
23 other compensation paid for personal services rendered
24 for the State by officers or employees of the State,
25 including the Commissioner and the Deputy
26 Commissioners, communication equipment and services,

HB5764- 1113 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 office furnishings, surety bond premiums, and travel
2 expenses of those officers and employees, employees,
3 expenditures or charges for the acquisition,
4 enlargement or improvement of, or for the use of, any
5 office space, building, or structure, or expenditures
6 for the maintenance thereof or for furnishing heat,
7 light, or power with respect thereto, all to the extent
8 that those expenditures are directly incidental to
9 such examinations or administration. The Commissioner
10 shall not be required by paragraphs (c) or (d-1) of
11 this subsection (3) to maintain in any fiscal year's
12 budget appropriated reserves for accrued vacation and
13 accrued sick leave that is required to be paid to
14 employees of the Commissioner upon termination of
15 their service with the Commissioner in an amount that
16 is more than is reasonably anticipated to be necessary
17 for any anticipated turnover in employees, whether due
18 to normal attrition or due to layoffs, terminations, or
19 resignations.
20 (d) The aggregate of all fees collected by the
21 Secretary under this Act, the Corporate Fiduciary Act,
22 or the Foreign Banking Office Act on and after July 1,
23 1979, shall be paid promptly after receipt of the same,
24 accompanied by a detailed statement thereof, into the
25 State treasury and shall be set apart in a special fund
26 to be known as the "Bank and Trust Company Fund",

HB5764- 1114 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 except as provided in paragraph (c) of subsection (11)
2 of this Section. All earnings received from
3 investments of funds in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
4 shall be deposited in the Bank and Trust Company Fund
5 and may be used for the same purposes as fees deposited
6 in that Fund. The amount from time to time deposited
7 into the Bank and Trust Company Fund shall be used: (i)
8 to offset the ordinary administrative expenses of the
9 Secretary as defined in this Section or (ii) as a
10 credit against fees under paragraph (d-1) of this
11 subsection (3). Nothing in Public Act 81-131 shall
12 prevent continuing the practice of paying expenses
13 involving salaries, retirement, social security, and
14 State-paid insurance premiums of State officers by
15 appropriations from the General Revenue Fund. However,
16 the General Revenue Fund shall be reimbursed for those
17 payments made on and after July 1, 1979, by an annual
18 transfer of funds from the Bank and Trust Company Fund.
19 Moneys in the Bank and Trust Company Fund may be
20 transferred to the Professions Indirect Cost Fund, as
21 authorized under Section 2105-300 of the Department of
22 Professional Regulation Law of the Civil
23 Administrative Code of Illinois.
24 Notwithstanding provisions in the State Finance
25 Act, as now or hereafter amended, or any other law to
26 the contrary, the Governor may, during any fiscal year

HB5764- 1115 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 through January 10, 2011, from time to time direct the
2 State Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a
3 specified sum not exceeding 10% of the revenues to be
4 deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during
5 that fiscal year from that Fund to the General Revenue
6 Fund in order to help defray the State's operating
7 costs for the fiscal year. Notwithstanding provisions
8 in the State Finance Act, as now or hereafter amended,
9 or any other law to the contrary, the total sum
10 transferred during any fiscal year through January 10,
11 2011, from the Bank and Trust Company Fund to the
12 General Revenue Fund pursuant to this provision shall
13 not exceed during any fiscal year 10% of the revenues
14 to be deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund
15 during that fiscal year. The State Treasurer and
16 Comptroller shall transfer the amounts designated
17 under this Section as soon as may be practicable after
18 receiving the direction to transfer from the Governor.
19 (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the Bank
20 and Trust Company Fund to permit the timely payment of
21 administration expenses. In each fiscal year the total
22 administration expenses shall be deducted from the
23 total fees collected by the Commissioner and the
24 remainder transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve
25 Account, unless the balance of the Cash Flow Reserve
26 Account prior to the transfer equals or exceeds

HB5764- 1116 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 one-fourth of the total initial appropriations from
2 the Bank and Trust Company Fund for the subsequent
3 year, in which case the remainder shall be credited to
4 State banks and foreign banking corporations and
5 applied against their fees for the subsequent year. The
6 amount credited to each State bank and foreign banking
7 corporation shall be in the same proportion as the Call
8 Report Fees paid by each for the year bear to the total
9 Call Report Fees collected for the year. If, after a
10 transfer to the Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if
11 no remainder is available for transfer, the balance of
12 the Cash Flow Reserve Account is less than one-fourth
13 of the total initial appropriations for the subsequent
14 year and the amount transferred is less than 5% of the
15 total Call Report Fees for the year, additional amounts
16 needed to make the transfer equal to 5% of the total
17 Call Report Fees for the year shall be apportioned
18 amongst, assessed upon, and paid by the State banks and
19 foreign banking corporations in the same proportion
20 that the Call Report Fees of each, respectively, for
21 the year bear to the total Call Report Fees collected
22 for the year. The additional amounts assessed shall be
23 transferred into the Cash Flow Reserve Account. For
24 purposes of this paragraph (d-1), the calculation of
25 the fees collected by the Commissioner shall exclude
26 the receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 of

HB5764- 1117 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the Corporate Fiduciary Act.
2 (e) The Commissioner may upon request certify to
3 any public record in his keeping and shall have
4 authority to levy a reasonable charge for issuing
5 certifications of any public record in his keeping.
6 (f) In addition to fees authorized elsewhere in
7 this Act, the Commissioner may, in connection with a
8 review, approval, or provision of a service, levy a
9 reasonable charge to recover the cost of the review,
10 approval, or service.
11 (4) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to
12 limit the obligation relative to examinations and reports
13 of any State bank, deposits in which are to any extent
14 insured by the United States or any agency thereof, nor to
15 limit in any way the powers of the Commissioner with
16 reference to examinations and reports of that bank.
17 (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or
18 investment of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan
19 for officers or employees of every State bank or, after May
20 31, 1997, branch of an out-of-state bank shall be deemed to
21 be included in the affairs of that State bank or branch of
22 an out-of-state bank subject to examination by the
23 Commissioner under the provisions of subsection (2) of this
24 Section, and if the Commissioner shall find from an
25 examination that the condition of or operation of the
26 investments or assets of the plan is unlawful, fraudulent,

HB5764- 1118 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his trust, the
2 Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
3 Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction
4 within 60 days after the Commissioner has given notice to
5 the board of directors of the State bank or out-of-state
6 bank of his findings, report the facts to the Attorney
7 General who shall thereupon institute proceedings against
8 the State bank or out-of-state bank, the board of directors
9 thereof, or the trustees under such plan as the nature of
10 the case may require.
11 (6) The Commissioner shall have the power:
12 (a) To promulgate reasonable rules for the purpose
13 of administering the provisions of this Act.
14 (a-5) To impose conditions on any approval issued

18 continue in effect for the period prescribed by the
19 Commissioner.
20 (b) To issue orders against any person, if the
21 Commissioner has reasonable cause to believe that an
22 unsafe or unsound banking practice has occurred, is
23 occurring, or is about to occur, if any person has
24 violated, is violating, or is about to violate any law,
25 rule, or written agreement with the Commissioner, or
26 for the purpose of administering the provisions of this

HB5764- 1119 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

12 exercise his powers under this Act.
13 (d) To subpoena witnesses, to compel their
14 attendance, to administer an oath, to examine any
15 person under oath, and to require the production of any
16 relevant books, papers, accounts, and documents in the
17 course of and pursuant to any investigation being
18 conducted, or any action being taken, by the

5 shall have obstructed or impeded any examination or
6 investigation by the Secretary, shall have engaged in an
7 unsafe or unsound practice in conducting the business of
8 that bank or any subsidiary or bank holding company of the
9 bank, or shall have violated any law or engaged or
10 participated in any unsafe or unsound practice in
11 connection with any financial institution or other
12 business entity such that the character and fitness of the
13 director, officer, employee, or agent does not assure
14 reasonable promise of safe and sound operation of the State
15 bank, the Secretary may issue an order of removal. If, in
16 the opinion of the Secretary, any former director, officer,
17 employee, or agent of a State bank or any subsidiary or
18 bank holding company of the bank, prior to the termination

5 (1) Credit unions shall report to the Department on forms
6supplied by the Department, in accordance with a schedule
7published by the Department. A recapitulation of the annual
8reports shall be compiled and published annually by the
9Department, for the use of the General Assembly, credit unions,
10various educational institutions and other interested parties.
11A credit union which fails to file any report when due shall
12pay to the Department a late filing fee for each day the report
13is overdue as prescribed by rule. The Secretary may extend the
14time for filing a report.
15 (2) The Secretary may require special examinations of and
16special financial reports from a credit union or a credit union
17organization in which a credit union loans, invests, or
18delegates substantially all managerial duties and
19responsibilities when he determines that such examinations and
20reports are necessary to enable the Department to determine the
21safety of a credit union's operation or its solvency. The cost
22to the Department of the aforesaid special examinations shall
23be borne by the credit union being examined as prescribed by
24rule.

HB5764- 1135 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (3) All credit unions incorporated under this Act shall be
2examined at least biennially by the Department or, at the
3discretion of the Secretary, by a public accountant registered
4by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The
5costs of an examination shall be paid by the credit union. The
6scope of all examinations by a public accountant shall be at
7least equal to the examinations made by the Department. The
8examiners shall have full access to, and may compel the
9production of, all the books, papers, securities and accounts
10of any credit union. A special examination shall be made by the
11Department or by a public accountant approved by the Department

13expense of the same. Any credit union refusing to submit to an
14examination when ordered by the Department shall be reported to
15the Attorney General, who shall institute proceedings to have
16its charter revoked. If the Secretary determines that the
17examination of a credit union is to be conducted by a public
18accountant registered by the Department of Financial and
19Professional Regulation and the examination is done in
20conjunction with the credit union's external independent audit
21of financial statements, the requirements of this Section and
22subsection (3) of Section 34 shall be deemed met.
23 (3.5) Pursuant to Section 8, the Secretary shall adopt

1and (ii) clarify examination items to be resolved. The rules,
2formal guidance, interpretive interpretative letters, or

4relied upon by the credit unions.
5 (4) A copy of the completed report of examination and a
6review comment letter, if any, citing exceptions revealed

15information regarding the corrective actions taken on
16exceptions appearing in a review comment letter may have its
17operations restricted to the collection of principal and
18interest on loans outstanding and the payment of normal

23 (205 ILCS 305/46) (from Ch. 17, par. 4447)
24 Sec. 46. Loans and interest rate.
25 (1) A credit union may make loans to its members for such

HB5764- 1137 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1purpose and upon such security and terms, including rates of
2interest, as the credit committee, credit manager, or loan
3officer approves. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other
4law in connection with extensions of credit, a credit union may
5elect to contract for and receive interest and fees and other
6charges for extensions of credit subject only to the provisions
7of this Act and rules promulgated under this Act, except that
8extensions of credit secured by residential real estate shall
9be subject to the laws applicable thereto. The rates of
10interest to be charged on loans to members shall be set by the
11board of directors of each individual credit union in
12accordance with Section 30 of this Act and such rates may be
13less than, but may not exceed, the maximum rate set forth in
14this Section. A borrower may repay his loan prior to maturity,
15in whole or in part, without penalty. A prepayment penalty does
16not include a waived, bona fide third-party charge that the
17credit union imposes if the borrower prepays all of the
18transaction's principal sooner than 36 months after
19consummation of a closed-end credit transaction, a waived, bona
20fide third-party charge that the credit union imposes if the
21borrower terminates an open-end credit plan sooner than 36
22months after account opening, or a yield maintenance fee
23imposed on a business loan transaction. The credit contract may
24provide for the payment by the member and receipt by the credit
25union of all costs and disbursements, including reasonable
26attorney's fees and collection agency charges, incurred by the

HB5764- 1138 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1credit union to collect or enforce the debt in the event of a
2delinquency by the member, or in the event of a breach of any
3obligation of the member under the credit contract. A
4contingency or hourly arrangement established under an
5agreement entered into by a credit union with an attorney or
6collection agency to collect a loan of a member in default
7shall be presumed prima facie reasonable.
8 (2) Credit unions may make loans based upon the security of
9any interest or equity in real estate, subject to rules and
10regulations promulgated by the Secretary. In any contract or
11loan which is secured by a mortgage, deed of trust, or
12conveyance in the nature of a mortgage, on residential real
13estate, the interest which is computed, calculated, charged, or
14collected pursuant to such contract or loan, or pursuant to any
15regulation or rule promulgated pursuant to this Act, may not be
16computed, calculated, charged or collected for any period of
17time occurring after the date on which the total indebtedness,
18with the exception of late payment penalties, is paid in full.
19 For purposes of this subsection (2) of this Section 46, a
20prepayment shall mean the payment of the total indebtedness,
21with the exception of late payment penalties if incurred or
22charged, on any date before the date specified in the contract
23or loan agreement on which the total indebtedness shall be paid
24in full, or before the date on which all payments, if timely
25made, shall have been made. In the event of a prepayment of the
26indebtedness which is made on a date after the date on which

HB5764- 1139 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1interest on the indebtedness was last computed, calculated,
2charged, or collected but before the next date on which
3interest on the indebtedness was to be calculated, computed,
4charged, or collected, the lender may calculate, charge and
5collect interest on the indebtedness for the period which
6elapsed between the date on which the prepayment is made and
7the date on which interest on the indebtedness was last
8computed, calculated, charged or collected at a rate equal to
91/360 of the annual rate for each day which so elapsed, which
10rate shall be applied to the indebtedness outstanding as of the
11date of prepayment. The lender shall refund to the borrower any
12interest charged or collected which exceeds that which the
13lender may charge or collect pursuant to the preceding
14sentence.
15 (3) (Blank).
16 (4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, a
17credit union authorized under this Act to make loans secured by
18an interest or equity in real property may engage in making
19revolving credit loans secured by mortgages or deeds of trust
20on such real property or by security assignments of beneficial
21interests in land trusts.
22 For purposes of this Section, "revolving credit" has the
23meaning defined in Section 4.1 of the Interest Act.
24 Any mortgage or deed of trust given to secure a revolving
25credit loan may, and when so expressed therein shall, secure
26not only the existing indebtedness but also such future

HB5764- 1140 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1advances, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at
2the option of the lender, or otherwise, as are made within 20
3twenty years from the date thereof, to the same extent as if
4such future advances were made on the date of the execution of
5such mortgage or deed of trust, although there may be no
6advance made at the time of execution of such mortgage or other
7instrument, and although there may be no indebtedness
8outstanding at the time any advance is made. The lien of such
9mortgage or deed of trust, as to third persons without actual
10notice thereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and
11future advances from form the time said mortgage or deed of
12trust is filed for record in the office of the recorder of
13deeds or the registrar of titles of the county where the real
14property described therein is located. The total amount of
15indebtedness that may be so secured may increase or decrease
16from time to time, but the total unpaid balance so secured at
17any one time shall not exceed a maximum principal amount which
18must be specified in such mortgage or deed of trust, plus
19interest thereon, and any disbursements made for the payment of
20taxes, special assessments, or insurance on said real property,
21with interest on such disbursements.
22 Any such mortgage or deed of trust shall be valid and have
23priority over all subsequent liens and encumbrances, including
24statutory liens, except taxes and assessments levied on said
25real property.
26 (4-5) For purposes of this Section, "real estate" and "real

HB5764- 1141 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1property" include a manufactured home as defined in subdivision
2(53) of Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code which is
3real property as defined in Section 5-35 of the Conveyance and
4Encumbrance of Manufactured Homes as Real Property and
5Severance Act.
6 (5) Compliance with federal or Illinois preemptive laws or
7regulations governing loans made by a credit union chartered
8under this Act shall constitute compliance with this Act.
9 (6) Credit unions may make residential real estate mortgage
10loans on terms and conditions established by the United States
11Department of Agriculture through its Rural Development
12Housing and Community Facilities Program. The portion of any
13loan in excess of the appraised value of the real estate shall
14be allocable only to the guarantee fee required under the
15program.
16 (7) For a renewal, refinancing, or restructuring of an
17existing loan at the credit union that is secured by an
18interest or equity in real estate, a new appraisal of the
19collateral shall not be required when (i) no new moneys are
20advanced other than funds necessary to cover reasonable closing
21costs, or (ii) there has been no obvious or material change in
22market conditions or physical aspects of the real estate that
23threatens the adequacy of the credit union's real estate
24collateral protection after the transaction, even with the
25advancement of new moneys. The Department reserves the right to
26require an appraisal under this subsection (7) whenever the

HB5764- 1142 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1Department believes it is necessary to address safety and
2soundness concerns.

26maintains the corporation's share transfer book before the

HB5764- 1166 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment.
2 (5) An appointment made irrevocable under subsection (3)
3becomes revocable when the interest in the proxy terminates

5in the purchaser's name, the creditor's debt is paid, the

12 treatment model included in the most recent national
13 research trials conducted by the National Institute of
14 Mental Health in the Recovery After an Initial
15 Schizophrenia Episode (RAISE) trials for psychosis
16 resulting from a serious mental illness, but excluding the
17 components of the treatment model related to education and
18 employment support.
19 (2) Assertive community treatment (ACT) and community
20 support team (CST) treatment. The elements of ACT and CST
21 to be covered shall include those covered under Article V
22 of the Illinois Public Aid Code, through 89 Ill. Adm. Code
23 140.453(d)(4).
24 (b) Adherence to the clinical models. For purposes of
25ensuring adherence to the coordinated specialty care for first

HB5764- 1175 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1episode psychosis treatment model, only providers contracted
2with the Department of Human Services' Division of Mental
3Health to be FIRST.IL providers to deliver coordinated
4specialty care for first episode psychosis treatment shall be
5permitted to provide such treatment in accordance with this
6Section and such providers must adhere to the fidelity of the
7treatment model. For purposes of ensuring fidelity to ACT and
8CST, only providers certified to provide ACT and CST by the
9Department of Human Services' Division of Mental Health and
10approved to provide ACT and CST by the Department of Healthcare
11and Family Services, or its designee, in accordance with 89
12Ill. Adm. Code 140, shall be permitted to provide such services
13under this Section and such providers shall be required to
14adhere to the fidelity of the models.
15 (c) Development of medical necessity criteria for
16coverage. Within 6 months after January 1, 2020 (the effective
17date of Public Act 101-461) this amendatory Act of the 101st
18General Assembly, the Department of Insurance shall lead and
19convene a workgroup that includes the Department of Human
20Services' Division of Mental Health, the Department of
21Healthcare and Family Services, providers of the treatment
22models listed in this Section, and insurers operating in
23Illinois to develop medical necessity criteria for such
24treatment models for purposes of coverage under this Section.
25The workgroup shall use the medical necessity criteria the
26State and other states use as guidance for establishing medical

HB5764- 1176 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1necessity for insurance coverage. The Department of Insurance
2shall adopt a rule that defines medical necessity for each of
3the 3 treatment models listed in this Section by no later than
4June 30, 2020 based on the workgroup's recommendations.
5 (d) For purposes of credentialing the mental health

10treatment team shall qualify all members of the treatment team
11to be credentialed with the insurer.
12 (e) Payment for the services performed under the treatment
13models listed in this Section shall be based on a bundled
14treatment model or payment, rather than payment for each
15separate service delivered by a treatment team member. By no
16later than 6 months after January 1, 2020 (the effective date
17of Public Act 101-461) this amendatory Act of the 101st General
18Assembly, the Department of Insurance shall convene a workgroup
19of Illinois insurance companies and Illinois mental health
20treatment providers that deliver the bundled treatment
21approaches listed in this Section to determine a coding
22solution that allows for these bundled treatment models to be
23coded and paid for as a bundle of services, similar to
24intensive outpatient treatment where multiple services are
25covered under one billing code or a bundled set of billing
26codes. The coding solution shall ensure that services delivered

HB5764- 1177 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1using coordinated specialty care for first episode psychosis
2treatment, ACT, or CST are provided and billed as a bundled
3service, rather than for each individual service provided by a
4treatment team member, which would deconstruct the
5evidence-based practice. The coding solution shall be reached
6prior to coverage, which shall begin for plans amended,
7delivered, issued, or renewed after December 31, 2020, to
8ensure coverage of the treatment team approaches as intended by
9this Section.
10 (f) If, at any time, the Secretary of the United States
11Department of Health and Human Services, or its successor
12agency, adopts rules or regulations to be published in the
13Federal Register or publishes a comment in the Federal Register
14or issues an opinion, guidance, or other action that would
15require the State, under any provision of the Patient
16Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148), including,
17but not limited to, 42 U.S.C. 18031(d)(3)(b), or any successor
18provision, to defray the cost of any coverage for serious
19mental illnesses or serious emotional disturbances outlined in
20this Section, then the requirement that a group or individual
21policy of accident and health insurance or managed care plan
22cover the bundled treatment approaches listed in this Section
23is inoperative other than any such coverage authorized under
24Section 1902 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 1396a, and
25the State shall not assume any obligation for the cost of the
26coverage.

HB5764- 1178 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (g) After 5 years following full implementation of this
2Section, if requested by an insurer, the Department of
3Insurance shall contract with an independent third party with
4expertise in analyzing health insurance premiums and costs to
5perform an independent analysis of the impact coverage of the
6team-based treatment models listed in this Section has had on
7insurance premiums in Illinois. If premiums increased by more
8than 1% annually solely due to coverage of these treatment
9models, coverage of these models shall no longer be required.
10 (h) The Department of Insurance shall adopt any rules
11necessary to implement the provisions of this Section by no
12later than June 30, 2020.

9accordance with subsection (g) of Section 26 of this Act.
10Subject to the prior consent of the Board, licensees may
11supplement any pari-mutuel pool in order to guarantee a minimum
12distribution. Such pari-mutuel method of wagering shall not,
13under any circumstances if conducted under the provisions of
14this Act, be held or construed to be unlawful, other statutes
15of this State to the contrary notwithstanding. Subject to rules
16for advance wagering promulgated by the Board, any licensee may
17accept wagers in advance of the day of the race wagered upon
18occurs.
19 (b) Except for those gaming activities for which a license
20is obtained and authorized under the Illinois Lottery Law, the
21Charitable Games Act, the Raffles and Poker Runs Act, or the
22Illinois Gambling Act, no other method of betting, pool making,
23wagering or gambling shall be used or permitted by the
24licensee. Each licensee may retain, subject to the payment of
25all applicable taxes and purses, an amount not to exceed 17% of

HB5764- 1284 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1all money wagered under subsection (a) of this Section, except
2as may otherwise be permitted under this Act.

12outstanding pari-mutuel tickets, if unclaimed prior to
13December 31 of the next year, shall be retained by the licensee

15thereafter, the balance of such sum remaining unclaimed, less
16any uncashed supplements contributed by such licensee for the
17purpose of guaranteeing minimum distributions of any
18pari-mutuel pool, shall be evenly distributed to the purse
19account of the organization licensee and the organization
20licensee, except that the balance of the sum of all outstanding
21pari-mutuel tickets generated from simulcast wagering and
22inter-track wagering by an organization licensee located in a
23county with a population in excess of 230,000 and borders the
24Mississippi River or any licensee that derives its license from
25that organization licensee shall be evenly distributed to the
26purse account of the organization licensee and the organization

HB5764- 1285 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1licensee.
2 (d) A pari-mutuel ticket shall be honored until December 31

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

HB5764- 1286 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 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

HB5764- 1287 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 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

HB5764- 1288 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 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 organization 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

HB5764- 1289 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 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, an
10organization licensee, with the consent of the horsemen
11association representing the largest number of owners,
12trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race horses at
13that organization licensee's racing meeting, may maintain a
14system whereby advance deposit wagering may take place or an
15organization licensee, with the consent of the horsemen
16association representing the largest number of owners,
17trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race horses at
18that organization licensee's racing meeting, may contract with
19another person to carry out a system of advance deposit
20wagering. Such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Only
21with respect to an appeal to the Board that consent for an
22organization licensee that maintains its own advance deposit
23wagering system is being unreasonably withheld, the Board shall
24issue a final order within 30 days after initiation of the
25appeal, and the organization licensee's advance deposit
26wagering system may remain operational during that 30-day

HB5764- 1290 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1period. The actions of any organization licensee who conducts
2advance deposit wagering or any person who has a contract with
3an organization licensee to conduct advance deposit wagering
4who conducts advance deposit wagering on or after January 1,
52013 and prior to June 7, 2013 (the effective date of Public
6Act 98-18) taken in reliance on the changes made to this
7subsection (g) by Public Act 98-18 are hereby validated,
8provided payment of all applicable pari-mutuel taxes are
9remitted to the Board. All advance deposit wagers placed from
10within Illinois must be placed through a Board-approved advance
11deposit wagering licensee; no other entity may accept an
12advance deposit wager from a person within Illinois. All
13advance deposit wagering is subject to any rules adopted by the
14Board. The Board may adopt rules necessary to regulate advance
15deposit wagering through the use of emergency rulemaking in
16accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative
17Procedure Act. The General Assembly finds that the adoption of
18rules to regulate advance deposit wagering is deemed an
19emergency and necessary for the public interest, safety, and
20welfare. An advance deposit wagering licensee may retain all
21moneys as agreed to by contract with an organization licensee.
22Any moneys retained by the organization licensee from advance
23deposit wagering, not including moneys retained by the advance
24deposit 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

HB5764- 1291 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 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.

HB5764- 1292 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
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

HB5764- 1293 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 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
16 to the provisions of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (11) of
17 subsection (h) of Section 26 of this Act.
18 (4) A licensee who receives an interstate simulcast may
19 combine its gross or net pools with pools at the sending
20 racetracks pursuant to rules established by the Board. All
21 licensees combining their gross pools at a sending
22 racetrack shall adopt the takeout percentages of the
23 sending racetrack. A licensee may also establish a separate
24 pool and takeout structure for wagering purposes on races
25 conducted at race tracks outside of the State of Illinois.
26 The licensee may permit pari-mutuel wagers placed in other

HB5764- 1294 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 states or countries to be combined with its gross or net
2 wagering pools or other wagering pools.
3 (5) After the payment of the interstate commission fee
4 (except for the interstate commission fee on a supplemental
5 interstate simulcast, which shall be paid by the host track
6 and by each non-host licensee through the host track) and
7 all applicable State and local taxes, except as provided in
8 subsection (g) of Section 27 of this Act, the remainder of
9 moneys retained from simulcast wagering pursuant to this
10 subsection (g), and Section 26.2 shall be divided as

20 non-host licensee, and 50% to the purses at the host
21 track.
22 (6) Notwithstanding any provision in this Act to the
23 contrary, non-host licensees who derive their licenses
24 from a track located in a county with a population in
25 excess of 230,000 and that borders the Mississippi River
26 may receive supplemental interstate simulcast races at all

HB5764- 1295 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 times subject to Board approval, which shall be withheld
2 only upon a finding that a supplemental interstate
3 simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of racing.

3 Illinois horse races at all wagering facilities in any
4 calendar year is less than 75% of the total Illinois
5 pari-mutuel handle on Illinois horse races at all such
6 wagering facilities for calendar year 1994, then each

16 Illinois horse races at the wagering facility between that
17 calendar year in question and 1994 provided, however, that
18 a wagering facility shall not be entitled to any such
19 payment until the Board certifies in writing to the
20 wagering facility the amount to which the wagering facility

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
11 racing respectively at the wagering facility during the
12 previous calendar year. Annually, the General Assembly
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
17 each purse account shall be the amount certified by the
18 Illinois Racing Board in January to be transferred from
19 each account to each eligible racing facility in accordance
20 with the provisions of this Section. Beginning in the

12distribution as purse money for the succeeding calendar year.
13Upon reaching the 1994 level, and until the excess amount of
14taxes and fees exceeds $11 million, the Board shall direct all
15licensees to cease paying the subject taxes and fees and the
16Board shall direct all licensees to allocate any such excess
17amount for purses as follows:

2 1994 on-track wagering for all organization licensees
3 issued organization licenses in both the allocation year
4 and the preceding year) multiplied by the total amount
5 allocated for standardbred or thoroughbred purses,
6 provided that the first $1,500,000 of the amount allocated
7 to standardbred purses under item (i) shall be allocated to
8 the Department of Agriculture to be expended with the
9 assistance and advice of the Illinois Standardbred
10 Breeders Funds Advisory Board for the purposes listed in
11 subsection (g) of Section 31 of this Act, before the amount
12 allocated to standardbred purses under item (i) is
13 allocated to standardbred organization licensees in the
14 succeeding allocation year.
15 To the extent the excess amount of taxes and fees to be
16collected and distributed to State and local governmental
17authorities exceeds $11 million, that excess amount shall be
18collected and distributed to State and local authorities as
19provided for under this Act.

22 revenues generated.
23 (B) The amount of licensing fees received.
24 (C) The number of cases of wine shipped from inside

13 (15) As a means to reduce the underage consumption of

15 alcohol compliance operations to investigate whether
16 businesses that are soliciting, selling, and shipping wine
17 from inside or outside of this State directly to residents
18 of this State are licensed by this State or are selling or
19 attempting to sell wine to persons under 21 years of age in
20 violation of this Act.
21 (16) The State Commission shall, in addition to
22 notifying any appropriate law enforcement agency, submit
23 notices of complaints or violations of Sections 6-29 and
24 6-29.1 by persons who do not hold a winery shipper's
25 license under this Act to the Illinois Attorney General and
26 to the U.S. Department of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco

HB5764- 1409 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Tax and Trade Bureau.
2 (17)(A) A person licensed to make wine under the laws
3 of another state who has a winery shipper's license under
4 this Act and annually produces less than 25,000 gallons of
5 wine or a person who has a first-class or second-class wine
6 manufacturer's license, a first-class or second-class
7 wine-maker's license, or a limited wine manufacturer's
8 license under this Act and annually produces less than
9 25,000 gallons of wine may make application to the
10 Commission for a self-distribution exemption to allow the
11 sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the exemption
12 holder's wine to retail licensees per year.
13 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
14 penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the date it
15 was established; (2) its volume of production and sales for
16 each year since its establishment; (3) its efforts to
17 establish distributor relationships; (4) that a
18 self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate the
19 marketing of its wine; and (5) that it will comply with the
20 liquor and revenue laws of the United States, this State,
21 and any other state where it is licensed.
22 (C) The State Commission shall approve the application
23 for a self-distribution exemption if such person: (1) is in
24 compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; (2) is not a
25 member of any affiliated group that produces more than
26 25,000 gallons of wine per annum or produces any other

HB5764- 1410 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 alcoholic liquor; (3) will not annually produce for sale
2 more than 25,000 gallons of wine; and (4) will not annually
3 sell more than 5,000 gallons of its wine to retail
4 licensees.
5 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
6 annually certify to the State Commission its production of
7 wine in the previous 12 months and its anticipated
8 production and sales for the next 12 months. The State
9 Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
10 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
11 that the exemption holder has made a material
12 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
13 or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of 25,000
14 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or become part of an
15 affiliated group producing more than 25,000 gallons of wine
16 or any other alcoholic liquor.
17 (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act or
18 Public Act 95-634 or a bona fide investigation by duly
19 sworn law enforcement officials, the State Commission, or
20 its agents, the State Commission shall maintain the
21 production and sales information of a self-distribution
22 exemption holder as confidential and shall not release such
23 information to any person.
24 (F) The State Commission shall issue regulations
25 governing self-distribution exemptions consistent with
26 this Section and this Act.

HB5764- 1411 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (G) Nothing in this paragraph (17) shall prohibit a
2 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
3 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
4 licensed Illinois distributor.
5 (H) It is the intent of this paragraph (17) to promote
6 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
7 that, in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
8 distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception
9 for smaller makers of wine as their wines are frequently
10 adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and taste to find
11 and create market niches sometimes too small for
12 distributor or importing distributor business strategies.
13 Limited self-distribution rights will afford and allow
14 smaller makers of wine access to the marketplace in order
15 to develop a customer base without impairing the integrity
16 of the 3-tier system.
17 (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
18 either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
19 and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of beer,
20 may make application to the State Commission for a
21 self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
22 than 232,500 gallons of the exemption holder's beer per
23 year to retail licensees and to brewers, class 1 brewers,
24 and class 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of
25 Section 6-4 of this Act, sell beer, cider, or both beer and
26 cider to non-licensees at their breweries.

HB5764- 1412 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
2 penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall state
3 (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume of beer
4 manufactured and sold for each year since its
5 establishment; (3) its efforts to establish distributor
6 relationships; (4) that a self-distribution exemption is
7 necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and (5)
8 that it will comply with the alcoholic beverage and revenue
9 laws of the United States, this State, and any other state
10 where it is licensed.
11 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
12 State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to action
13 by the State Commission. The State Commission shall approve
14 the application for a self-distribution exemption if the
15 class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with the
16 State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is not a
17 member of any affiliated group that manufactures more than
18 930,000 gallons of beer per annum or produces any other
19 alcoholic beverages; (3) shall not annually manufacture
20 for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer; (4) shall not
21 annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its beer to
22 retail licensees or to brewers, class 1 brewers, and class
23 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4
24 of this Act, sell beer, cider, or both beer and cider to
25 non-licensees at their breweries; and (5) has relinquished
26 any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any

HB5764- 1413 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 ownership interest it held in the licensed brew pub.
2 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
3 annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture of
4 beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
5 manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
6 State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
7 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
8 that the exemption holder has made a material
9 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
10 or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
11 manufacture of 930,000 gallons of beer in any calendar year
12 or became part of an affiliated group manufacturing more
13 than 930,000 gallons of beer or any other alcoholic
14 beverage.
15 (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
16 regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
17 consistent with this Act.
18 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
19 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
20 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
21 licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
22 If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
23 distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
24 rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then the
25 self-distribution exemption holder's distribution rights
26 in the assigned territories shall cease in a reasonable

HB5764- 1414 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 time not to exceed 60 days.
2 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote
3 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
4 that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
5 distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception
6 for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and allow such
7 smaller manufacturers of beer access to the marketplace in
8 order to develop a customer base without impairing the
9 integrity of the 3-tier system.
10 (19)(A) A class 1 craft distiller licensee or a
11 non-resident dealer who manufactures less than 50,000
12 gallons of distilled spirits per year may make application
13 to the State Commission for a self-distribution exemption
14 to allow the sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the
15 exemption holder's spirits to retail licensees per year.
16 (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
17 penalty of perjury, the class 1 craft distiller licensee or
18 non-resident dealer shall state (1) the date it was
19 established; (2) its volume of spirits manufactured and
20 sold for each year since its establishment; (3) its efforts
21 to establish distributor relationships; (4) that a
22 self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate the
23 marketing of its spirits; and (5) that it will comply with
24 the alcoholic beverage and revenue laws of the United
25 States, this State, and any other state where it is
26 licensed.

HB5764- 1415 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
2 State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to action
3 by the State Commission. The State Commission shall approve
4 the application for a self-distribution exemption if the
5 applicant: (1) is in compliance with State revenue and
6 alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is not a member of any
7 affiliated group that produces more than 50,000 gallons of
8 spirits per annum or produces any other alcoholic liquor;
9 (3) does not annually manufacture for sale more than 50,000
10 gallons of spirits; and (4) does not annually sell more
11 than 5,000 gallons of its spirits to retail licensees.
12 (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
13 annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture of
14 spirits during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
15 manufacture and sales of spirits for the next 12 months.
16 The State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
17 self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
18 that the exemption holder has made a material
19 misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
20 or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
21 manufacture of 50,000 gallons of spirits in any calendar
22 year, or has become part of an affiliated group
23 manufacturing more than 50,000 gallons of spirits or any
24 other alcoholic beverage.
25 (E) The State Commission shall adopt rules governing
26 self-distribution exemptions consistent with this Act.

HB5764- 1416 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (F) Nothing in this paragraph (19) shall prohibit a
2 self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or
3 simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
4 licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
5 (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (19) to promote
6 and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
7 that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
8 distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception
9 for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and allow such
10 smaller manufacturers of spirits access to the marketplace
11 in order to develop a customer base without impairing the
12 integrity of the 3-tier system.
13 (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall

11audit and review which shall, on a sampling basis, be deemed
12adequate by the Illinois Department to assure that such drugs,
13dentures, prosthetic devices and eyeglasses for which payment

1Health Information System.
2 (1) The Department shall establish Medicaid weighting
3 factors to be used in the reimbursement system established
4 under this subsection. The initial weighting factors shall
5 be the weighting factors as published by 3M Health
6 Information System, associated with Version 3.7.
7 (2) The Department shall establish service specific
8 statewide-standardized amounts to be used in the
9 reimbursement system.
10 (A) The initial statewide standardized amounts,

13 wage index with reclassifications, shall be published
14 by the Department on its website no later than 10
15 calendar days prior to their effective date.
16 (B) The Department shall establish adjustments to
17 the statewide-standardized amounts for each Critical
18 Access Hospital, as designated by the Department of
19 Public Health in accordance with 42 CFR 485, Subpart F.
20 For outpatient services provided on or before June 30,
21 2018, the EAPG standardized amounts are determined
22 separately for each critical access hospital such that
23 simulated EAPG payments using outpatient base period
24 paid claim data plus payments under Section 5A-12.4 of
25 this Code net of the associated tax costs are equal to
26 the estimated costs of outpatient base period claims

HB5764- 1515 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 data with a rate year cost inflation factor applied.
2 (3) In addition to the statewide-standardized amounts,
3 the Department shall develop adjusters to adjust the rate
4 of reimbursement for critical Medicaid hospital outpatient
5 providers or services, including outpatient high volume or
6 safety-net hospitals. Beginning July 1, 2018, the
7 outpatient high volume adjustor shall be increased to
8 increase annual expenditures associated with this adjustor
9 by $79,200,000, based on the State Fiscal Year 2015 base
10 year data and this adjustor shall apply to public

13 (4) Beginning July 1, 2018, in addition to the
14 statewide standardized amounts, the Department shall make
15 an add-on payment for outpatient expensive devices and
16 drugs. This add-on payment shall at least apply to claim
17 lines that: (i) are assigned with one of the following
18 EAPGs: 490, 1001 to 1020, and coded with one of the
19 following revenue codes: 0274 to 0276, 0278; or (ii) are
20 assigned with one of the following EAPGs: 430 to 441, 443,
21 444, 460 to 465, 495, 496, 1090. The add-on payment shall
22 be calculated as follows: the claim line's covered charges
23 multiplied by the hospital's total acute cost to charge
24 ratio, less the claim line's EAPG payment plus $1,000,
25 multiplied by 0.8.
26 (5) Beginning July 1, 2018, the statewide-standardized

HB5764- 1516 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 amounts for outpatient services shall be increased by a
2 uniform percentage so that base claims projected
3 reimbursement is increased by an amount equal to no less
4 than the funds allocated in paragraph (1) of subsection (b)
5 of Section 5A-12.6, less the amount allocated under
6 paragraphs (8) and (9) of subsection (a) and paragraphs (3)
7 and (4) of this subsection multiplied by 46%. Beginning
8 July 1, 2020, the statewide-standardized amounts for
9 outpatient services shall be increased by a uniform
10 percentage so that base claims projected reimbursement is
11 increased by an amount equal to no less than the funds
12 allocated in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section
13 5A-12.6, less the amount allocated under paragraphs (8) and
14 (9) of subsection (a) and paragraphs (3) and (4) of this
15 subsection multiplied by 46%. Beginning July 1, 2022, the
16 statewide-standardized amounts for outpatient services
17 shall be increased by a uniform percentage so that base
18 claims projected reimbursement is increased by an amount
19 equal to the funds allocated in paragraph (3) of subsection
20 (b) of Section 5A-12.6, less the amount allocated under
21 paragraphs (8) and (9) of subsection (a) and paragraphs (3)
22 and (4) of this subsection multiplied by 46%. Beginning
23 July 1, 2023, the statewide-standardized amounts for
24 outpatient services shall be increased by a uniform
25 percentage so that base claims projected reimbursement is
26 increased by an amount equal to no less than the funds

HB5764- 1517 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 allocated in paragraph (4) of subsection (b) of Section
2 5A-12.6, less the amount allocated under paragraphs (8) and
3 (9) of subsection (a) and paragraphs (3) and (4) of this
4 subsection multiplied by 46%.

6 2018, the Department shall establish adjustments to the
7 statewide-standardized amounts for each Critical Access
8 Hospital, as designated by the Department of Public Health
9 in accordance with 42 CFR 485, Subpart F, such that each
10 Critical Access Hospital's standardized amount for
11 outpatient services shall be increased by the applicable
12 uniform percentage determined pursuant to paragraph (5) of

20to the reimbursement systems authorized under this Section that
21shall begin on the effective date of these systems and continue
22until June 30, 2018, unless extended by rule by the Department.
23To help provide an orderly and predictable transition to the
24new reimbursement systems and to preserve and enhance access to
25the hospital services during this transition, the Department
26shall allocate a transitional hospital access pool of at least

HB5764- 1520 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1$290,000,000 annually so that transitional hospital access
2payments are made to hospitals.
3 (1) After the transition period, the Department may
4 begin incorporating the transitional hospital access pool
5 into the base rate structure; however, the transitional
6 hospital access payments in effect on June 30, 2018 shall
7 continue to be paid, if continued under Section 5A-16.
8 (2) After the transition period, if the Department
9 reduces payments from the transitional hospital access
10 pool, it shall increase base rates, develop new adjustors,
11 adjust current adjustors, develop new hospital access
12 payments based on updated information, or any combination
13 thereof by an amount equal to the decreases proposed in the
14 transitional hospital access pool payments, ensuring that
15 the entire transitional hospital access pool amount shall
16 continue to be used for hospital payments.
17 (d-5) Hospital transformation program. The Department, in
18conjunction with the Hospital Transformation Review Committee
19created under subsection (d-5), shall develop a hospital
20transformation program to provide financial assistance to
21hospitals in transforming their services and care models to
22better align with the needs of the communities they serve. The
23payments authorized in this Section shall be subject to
24approval by the federal government.
25 (1) Phase 1. In State fiscal years 2019 through 2020,
26 the Department shall allocate funds from the transitional

HB5764- 1521 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 access hospital pool to create a hospital transformation
2 pool of at least $262,906,870 annually and make hospital
3 transformation payments to hospitals. Subject to Section
4 5A-16, in State fiscal years 2019 and 2020, an Illinois
5 hospital that received either a transitional hospital
6 access payment under subsection (d) or a supplemental
7 payment under subsection (f) of this Section in State
8 fiscal year 2018, shall receive a hospital transformation
9 payment as follows:
10 (A) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
11 inpatient utilization rate is equal to or greater than
12 45%, the hospital transformation payment shall be
13 equal to 100% of the sum of its transitional hospital
14 access payment authorized under subsection (d) and any
15 supplemental payment authorized under subsection (f).
16 (B) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
17 inpatient utilization rate is equal to or greater than
18 25% but less than 45%, the hospital transformation
19 payment shall be equal to 75% of the sum of its
20 transitional hospital access payment authorized under
21 subsection (d) and any supplemental payment authorized
22 under subsection (f).
23 (C) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
24 inpatient utilization rate is less than 25%, the
25 hospital transformation payment shall be equal to 50%
26 of the sum of its transitional hospital access payment

HB5764- 1522 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 authorized under subsection (d) and any supplemental
2 payment authorized under subsection (f).
3 (2) Phase 2. During State fiscal years 2021 and 2022,
4 the Department shall allocate funds from the transitional
5 access hospital pool to create a hospital transformation
6 pool annually and make hospital transformation payments to
7 hospitals participating in the transformation program. Any
8 hospital may seek transformation funding in Phase 2. Any
9 hospital that seeks transformation funding in Phase 2 to
10 update or repurpose the hospital's physical structure to
11 transition to a new delivery model, must submit to the
12 Department in writing a transformation plan, based on the
13 Department's guidelines, that describes the desired
14 delivery model with projections of patient volumes by
15 service lines and projected revenues, expenses, and net
16 income that correspond to the new delivery model. In Phase
17 2, subject to the approval of rules, the Department may use
18 the hospital transformation pool to increase base rates,
19 develop new adjustors, adjust current adjustors, or
20 develop new access payments in order to support and
21 incentivize hospitals to pursue such transformation. In
22 developing such methodologies, the Department shall ensure
23 that the entire hospital transformation pool continues to
24 be expended to ensure access to hospital services or to
25 support organizations that had received hospital
26 transformation payments under this Section.

8 the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act, any
9 hospital participating in the transformation program
10 may be excluded from the requirements of the Illinois
11 Health Facilities Planning Act for those projects
12 related to the hospital's transformation. To be
13 eligible, the hospital must submit to the Health
14 Facilities and Services Review Board certification
15 from the Department, approved by the Hospital
16 Transformation Review Committee, that the project is a
17 part of the hospital's transformation.

23 a conversion, the hospital must submit to the
24 Department of Public Health certification from the
25 Department, approved by the Hospital Transformation
26 Review Committee, that the project is a part of the

HB5764- 1524 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 hospital's transformation.

13 (a) Any minor 12 years of age or older may request and
14receive counseling services or psychotherapy on an outpatient
15basis. The consent of the minor's parent, guardian, or person
16in loco parentis shall not be necessary to authorize outpatient
17counseling services or psychotherapy. However, until the
18consent of the minor's parent, guardian, or person in loco
19parentis has been obtained, outpatient counseling services or
20psychotherapy provided to a minor under the age of 17 shall be
21initially limited to not more than 8 90-minute sessions. The
22service provider shall consider the factors contained in
23subsection (a-1) of this Section throughout the therapeutic
24process to determine, through consultation with the minor,
25whether attempting to obtain the consent of a parent, guardian,

HB5764- 1535 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1or person in loco parentis would be detrimental to the minor's
2well-being. No later than the eighth session, the service
3provider shall determine and share with the minor the service
4provider's decision as described below:
5 (1) If the service provider finds that attempting to
6 obtain consent would not be detrimental to the minor's
7 well-being, the provider shall notify the minor that the
8 consent of a parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis
9 is required to continue counseling services or
10 psychotherapy.
11 (2) If the minor does not permit the service provider
12 to notify the parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis
13 for the purpose of consent after the eighth session the
14 service provider shall discontinue counseling services or
15 psychotherapy and shall not notify the parent, guardian, or
16 person in loco parentis about the counseling services or
17 psychotherapy.
18 (3) If the minor permits the service provider to notify
19 the parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis for the
20 purpose of consent, without discontinuing counseling
21 services or psychotherapy, the service provider shall make
22 reasonable attempts to obtain consent. The service
23 provider shall document each attempt to obtain consent in
24 the minor's clinical record. The service provider may
25 continue to provide counseling services or psychotherapy
26 without the consent of the minor's parent, guardian, or

HB5764- 1536 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 person in loco parentis if:
2 (A) the service provider has made at least 2
3 unsuccessful attempts to contact the minor's parent,
4 guardian, or person in loco parentis to obtain consent;
5 and
6 (B) the service provider has obtained the minor's
7 written consent.
8 (4) If, after the eighth session, the service provider
9 of counseling services or psychotherapy determines that
10 obtaining consent would be detrimental to the minor's
11 well-being, the service provider shall consult with his or
12 her supervisor when possible to review and authorize the
13 determination under subsection (a) of this Section. The
14 service provider shall document the basis for the
15 determination in the minor's clinical record and may then
16 accept the minor's written consent to continue to provide
17 counseling services or psychotherapy without also
18 obtaining the consent of a parent, guardian, or person in
19 loco parentis.
20 (5) If the minor continues to receive counseling
21 services or psychotherapy without the consent of a parent,
22 guardian, or person in loco parentis beyond 8 sessions, the
23 service provider shall evaluate, in consultation with his
24 or her supervisor when possible, his or her determination
25 under this subsection (a), and review the determination
26 every 60 days until counseling services or psychotherapy

HB5764- 1537 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 ends or the minor reaches age 17. If it is determined
2 appropriate to notify the parent, guardian, or person in
3 loco parentis and the minor consents, the service provider
4 shall proceed under paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of this
5 Section.
6 (6) When counseling services or psychotherapy are
7 related to allegations of neglect, sexual abuse, or mental
8 or physical abuse by the minor's parent, guardian, or
9 person in loco parentis, obtaining consent of that parent,
10 guardian, or person in loco parentis shall be presumed to
11 be detrimental to the minor's well-being.
12 (a-1) Each of the following factors must be present in
13order for the service provider to find that obtaining the
14consent of a parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis would
15be detrimental to the minor's well-being:
16 (1) requiring the consent or notification of a parent,
17 guardian, or person in loco parentis would cause the minor
18 to reject the counseling services or psychotherapy;
19 (2) the failure to provide the counseling services or
20 psychotherapy would be detrimental to the minor's
21 well-being;
22 (3) the minor has knowingly and voluntarily sought the
23 counseling services or psychotherapy; and
24 (4) in the opinion of the service provider, the minor
25 is mature enough to participate in counseling services or
26 psychotherapy productively.

HB5764- 1538 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (a-2) The minor's parent, guardian, or person in loco
2parentis shall not be informed of the counseling services or
3psychotherapy without the written consent of the minor unless
4the service provider believes the disclosure is necessary under
5subsection (a) of this Section. If the facility director or
6service provider intends to disclose the fact of counseling
7services or psychotherapy, the minor shall be so informed and
8if the minor chooses to discontinue counseling services or
9psychotherapy after being informed of the decision of the
10facility director or service provider to disclose the fact of
11counseling services or psychotherapy to the parent, guardian,
12or person in loco parentis, then the parent, guardian, or
13person in loco parentis shall not be notified. Under the Mental
14Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, the
15facility director, his or her designee, or the service provider
16shall not allow the minor's parent, guardian, or person in loco
17parentis, upon request, to inspect or copy the minor's record
18or any part of the record if the service provider finds that
19there are compelling reasons for denying the access. Nothing in
20this Section shall be interpreted to limit a minor's privacy
21and confidentiality protections under State law.
22 (b) The minor's parent, guardian, or person in loco
23parentis shall not be liable for the costs of outpatient
24counseling services or psychotherapy which is received by the
25minor without the consent of the minor's parent, guardian, or

HB5764- 1608 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (a) The General Assembly finds that:
2 (1) the State of Illinois has a long-standing policy to
3 restore, protect, and enhance the environment, including
4 the purity of the air, land, and waters, including
5 groundwaters, of this State;
6 (2) a clean environment is essential to the growth and
7 well-being of this State;
8 (3) CCR generated by the electric generating industry
9 has caused groundwater contamination and other forms of
10 pollution at active and inactive plants throughout this
11 State;
12 (4) environmental laws should be supplemented to
13 ensure consistent, responsible regulation of all existing
14 CCR surface impoundments; and
15 (5) meaningful participation of State residents,
16 especially vulnerable populations who may be affected by
17 regulatory actions, is critical to ensure that
18 environmental justice considerations are incorporated in
19 the development of, decision-making related to, and
20 implementation of environmental laws and rulemaking that
21 protects and improves the well-being of communities in this
22 State that bear disproportionate burdens imposed by
23 environmental pollution.
24 Therefore, the purpose of this Section is to promote a
25healthful environment, including clean water, air, and land,
26meaningful public involvement, and the responsible disposal

HB5764- 1609 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1and storage of coal combustion residuals, so as to protect
2public health and to prevent pollution of the environment of
3this State.
4 The provisions of this Section shall be liberally construed
5to carry out the purposes of this Section.
6 (b) No person shall:
7 (1) cause or allow the discharge of any contaminants
8 from a CCR surface impoundment into the environment so as
9 to cause, directly or indirectly, a violation of this
10 Section or any regulations or standards adopted by the
11 Board under this Section, either alone or in combination
12 with contaminants from other sources;
13 (2) construct, install, modify, operate, or close any
14 CCR surface impoundment without a permit granted by the
15 Agency, or so as to violate any conditions imposed by such
16 permit, any provision of this Section or any regulations or
17 standards adopted by the Board under this Section; or
18 (3) cause or allow, directly or indirectly, the
19 discharge, deposit, injection, dumping, spilling, leaking,
20 or placing of any CCR upon the land in a place and manner
21 so as to cause or tend to cause a violation this Section or
22 any regulations or standards adopted by the Board under
23 this Section.
24 (c) For purposes of this Section, a permit issued by the
25Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection
26Agency under Section 4005 of the federal Resource Conservation

3 (d) Before commencing closure of a CCR surface impoundment,
4in accordance with Board rules, the owner of a CCR surface
5impoundment must submit to the Agency for approval a closure
6alternatives analysis that analyzes all closure methods being
7considered and that otherwise satisfies all closure
8requirements adopted by the Board under this Act. Complete
9removal of CCR, as specified by the Board's rules, from the CCR
10surface impoundment must be considered and analyzed. Section
113.405 does not apply to the Board's rules specifying complete
12removal of CCR. The selected closure method must ensure
13compliance with regulations adopted by the Board pursuant to
14this Section.
15 (e) Owners or operators of CCR surface impoundments who
16have submitted a closure plan to the Agency before May 1, 2019,

3with this Act and its rules; and (ii) insuring remediation of
4releases from the CCR surface impoundment. The only acceptable
5forms of financial assurance are: a trust fund, a surety bond
6guaranteeing payment, a surety bond guaranteeing performance,
7or an irrevocable letter of credit.
8 (1) The cost estimate for the post-closure care of a
9 CCR surface impoundment shall be calculated using a 30-year
10 post-closure care period or such longer period as may be
11 approved by the Agency under Board or federal rules.
12 (2) The Agency is authorized to enter into such
13 contracts and agreements as it may deem necessary to carry

16that the location of the facility has been approved by the
17county board County Board of the county if in an unincorporated
18area, or the governing body of the municipality when in an
19incorporated area, in which the facility is to be located in
20accordance with Section 39.2 of this Act. For purposes of this
21subsection (c), and for purposes of Section 39.2 of this Act,
22the appropriate county board or governing body of the
23municipality shall be the county board of the county or the
24governing body of the municipality in which the facility is to
25be located as of the date when the application for siting
26approval is filed.

HB5764- 1624 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 In the event that siting approval granted pursuant to
2Section 39.2 has been transferred to a subsequent owner or
3operator, that subsequent owner or operator may apply to the
4Agency for, and the Agency may grant, a development or
5construction permit for the facility for which local siting
6approval was granted. Upon application to the Agency for a
7development or construction permit by that subsequent owner or
8operator, the permit applicant shall cause written notice of
9the permit application to be served upon the appropriate county
10board or governing body of the municipality that granted siting
11approval for that facility and upon any party to the siting
12proceeding pursuant to which siting approval was granted. In
13that event, the Agency shall conduct an evaluation of the
14subsequent owner or operator's prior experience in waste
15management operations in the manner conducted under subsection
16(i) of Section 39 of this Act.
17 Beginning August 20, 1993, if the pollution control
18facility consists of a hazardous or solid waste disposal
19facility for which the proposed site is located in an
20unincorporated area of a county with a population of less than
21100,000 and includes all or a portion of a parcel of land that
22was, on April 1, 1993, adjacent to a municipality having a
23population of less than 5,000, then the local siting review
24required under this subsection (c) in conjunction with any
25permit applied for after that date shall be performed by the
26governing body of that adjacent municipality rather than the

HB5764- 1625 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1county board of the county in which the proposed site is
2located; and for the purposes of that local siting review, any
3references in this Act to the county board shall be deemed to
4mean the governing body of that adjacent municipality;
5provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph shall
6not apply to any proposed site which was, on April 1, 1993,
7owned in whole or in part by another municipality.
8 In the case of a pollution control facility for which a
9development permit was issued before November 12, 1981, if an
10operating permit has not been issued by the Agency prior to
11August 31, 1989 for any portion of the facility, then the
12Agency may not issue or renew any development permit nor issue
13an original operating permit for any portion of such facility
14unless the applicant has submitted proof to the Agency that the
15location of the facility has been approved by the appropriate
16county board or municipal governing body pursuant to Section
1739.2 of this Act.
18 After January 1, 1994, if a solid waste disposal facility,
19any portion for which an operating permit has been issued by
20the Agency, has not accepted waste disposal for 5 or more
21consecutive calendar calendars years, before that facility may
22accept any new or additional waste for disposal, the owner and
23operator must obtain a new operating permit under this Act for
24that facility unless the owner and operator have applied to the
25Agency for a permit authorizing the temporary suspension of
26waste acceptance. The Agency may not issue a new operation

HB5764- 1626 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1permit under this Act for the facility unless the applicant has
2submitted proof to the Agency that the location of the facility
3has been approved or re-approved by the appropriate county
4board or municipal governing body under Section 39.2 of this
5Act after the facility ceased accepting waste.
6 Except for those facilities owned or operated by sanitary
7districts organized under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation
8District Act, and except for new pollution control facilities
9governed by Section 39.2, and except for fossil fuel mining
10facilities, the granting of a permit under this Act shall not
11relieve the applicant from meeting and securing all necessary
12zoning approvals from the unit of government having zoning
13jurisdiction over the proposed facility.
14 Before beginning construction on any new sewage treatment
15plant or sludge drying site to be owned or operated by a
16sanitary district organized under the Metropolitan Water
17Reclamation District Act for which a new permit (rather than

9shall conduct an evaluation of the operation if any previous
10activities at the site or facility may have caused or allowed
11contamination of the site. It shall be the responsibility of
12the owner or operator seeking the permit or interim
13authorization to provide to the Agency all of the information
14necessary for the Agency to conduct its evaluation. The Agency
15may deny a permit or interim authorization if previous
16activities at the site may have caused or allowed contamination
17at the site, unless such contamination is authorized under any
18permit issued by the Agency.

3 Section 595. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by
4changing Sections 2-31, 5-710, and 5-915 as follows:
5 (705 ILCS 405/2-31) (from Ch. 37, par. 802-31)
6 Sec. 2-31. Duration of wardship and discharge of
7proceedings.
8 (1) All proceedings under Article II of this Act in respect
9of any minor automatically terminate upon his or her attaining
10the age of 21 years.
11 (2) Whenever the court determines, and makes written
12factual findings, that health, safety, and the best interests
13of the minor and the public no longer require the wardship of
14the court, the court shall order the wardship terminated and
15all proceedings under this Act respecting that minor finally
16closed and discharged. The court may at the same time continue
17or terminate any custodianship or guardianship theretofore
18ordered but the termination must be made in compliance with
19Section 2-28. When terminating wardship under this Section, if
20the minor is over 18, or if wardship is terminated in
21conjunction with an order partially or completely emancipating
22the minor in accordance with the Emancipation of Minors Act,
23the court shall also consider the following factors, in
24addition to the health, safety, and best interest of the minor

HB5764- 1710 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1and the public: (A) the minor's wishes regarding case closure;
2(B) the manner in which the minor will maintain independence
3without services from the Department; (C) the minor's
4engagement in services including placement offered by the
5Department; (D) if the minor is not engaged, the Department's
6efforts to engage the minor; (E) the nature of communication
7between the minor and the Department; (F) the minor's
8involvement in other State systems or services; (G) the minor's
9connections with family and other community support; and (H)
10any other factor the court deems relevant. The minor's lack of
11cooperation with services provided by the Department of
12Children and Family Services shall not by itself be considered
13sufficient evidence that the minor is prepared to live
14independently and that it is in the best interest of the minor
15to terminate wardship. It shall not be in the minor's best
16interest to terminate wardship of a minor over the age of 18
17who is in the guardianship of the Department of Children and
18Family Services if the Department has not made reasonable
19efforts to ensure that the minor has documents necessary for
20adult living as provided in Section 35.10 of the Children and
21Family Services Act.
22 (3) The wardship of the minor and any custodianship or
23guardianship respecting the minor for whom a petition was filed
24after July 24, 1991 (the effective date of Public Act 87-14)
25this amendatory Act of 1991 automatically terminates when he
26attains the age of 19 years, except as set forth in subsection

HB5764- 1711 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1(1) of this Section. The clerk of the court shall at that time
2record all proceedings under this Act as finally closed and

4(3) become inoperative on and after July 12, 2019 (the
5effective date of Public Act 101-78) this amendatory Act of the

7 (4) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary,
8the changes made by Public Act 101-78 this amendatory Act of

17respect of wards of the court:
18 (a) Except as provided in Sections 5-805, 5-810, and
19 5-815, a minor who is found guilty under Section 5-620 may
20 be:
21 (i) put on probation or conditional discharge and
22 released to his or her parents, guardian or legal
23 custodian, provided, however, that any such minor who
24 is not committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice
25 under this subsection and who is found to be a

HB5764- 1712 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 delinquent for an offense which is first degree murder,
2 a Class X felony, or a forcible felony shall be placed
3 on probation;
4 (ii) placed in accordance with Section 5-740, with
5 or without also being put on probation or conditional
6 discharge;
7 (iii) required to undergo a substance abuse
8 assessment conducted by a licensed provider and
9 participate in the indicated clinical level of care;
10 (iv) on and after January 1, 2015 (the effective
11 date of Public Act 98-803) this amendatory Act of the
12 98th General Assembly and before January 1, 2017,
13 placed in the guardianship of the Department of
14 Children and Family Services, but only if the
15 delinquent minor is under 16 years of age or, pursuant
16 to Article II of this Act, a minor under the age of 18
17 for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or
18 dependency exists. On and after January 1, 2017, placed
19 in the guardianship of the Department of Children and
20 Family Services, but only if the delinquent minor is
21 under 15 years of age or, pursuant to Article II of
22 this Act, a minor for whom an independent basis of
23 abuse, neglect, or dependency exists. An independent
24 basis exists when the allegations or adjudication of
25 abuse, neglect, or dependency do not arise from the
26 same facts, incident, or circumstances which give rise

HB5764- 1713 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 to a charge or adjudication of delinquency;
2 (v) placed in detention for a period not to exceed
3 30 days, either as the exclusive order of disposition
4 or, where appropriate, in conjunction with any other
5 order of disposition issued under this paragraph,
6 provided that any such detention shall be in a juvenile
7 detention home and the minor so detained shall be 10
8 years of age or older. However, the 30-day limitation
9 may be extended by further order of the court for a
10 minor under age 15 committed to the Department of
11 Children and Family Services if the court finds that
12 the minor is a danger to himself or others. The minor
13 shall be given credit on the sentencing order of
14 detention for time spent in detention under Sections
15 5-501, 5-601, 5-710, or 5-720 of this Article as a
16 result of the offense for which the sentencing order
17 was imposed. The court may grant credit on a sentencing
18 order of detention entered under a violation of
19 probation or violation of conditional discharge under
20 Section 5-720 of this Article for time spent in
21 detention before the filing of the petition alleging
22 the violation. A minor shall not be deprived of credit
23 for time spent in detention before the filing of a
24 violation of probation or conditional discharge
25 alleging the same or related act or acts. The
26 limitation that the minor shall only be placed in a

HB5764- 1714 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 juvenile detention home does not apply as follows:
2 Persons 18 years of age and older who have a
3 petition of delinquency filed against them may be
4 confined in an adult detention facility. In making a
5 determination whether to confine a person 18 years of
6 age or older who has a petition of delinquency filed

8 matters, shall be considered:
9 (A) the age of the person;

11 history of the person;

13 the person;
14 (D) any mental health history of the person;

18 in accordance with the provisions of the Emancipation
19 of Minors Act;
20 (vii) subject to having his or her driver's license
21 or driving privileges suspended for such time as

23 attains 18 years of age;
24 (viii) put on probation or conditional discharge
25 and placed in detention under Section 3-6039 of the
26 Counties Code for a period not to exceed the period of

HB5764- 1715 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 incarceration permitted by law for adults found guilty
2 of the same offense or offenses for which the minor was
3 adjudicated delinquent, and in any event no longer than
4 upon attainment of age 21; this subdivision (viii)
5 notwithstanding any contrary provision of the law;
6 (ix) ordered to undergo a medical or other
7 procedure to have a tattoo symbolizing allegiance to a
8 street gang removed from his or her body; or
9 (x) placed in electronic monitoring or home
10 detention under Part 7A of this Article.
11 (b) A minor found to be guilty may be committed to the
12 Department of Juvenile Justice under Section 5-750 if the
13 minor is at least 13 years and under 20 years of age,
14 provided that the commitment to the Department of Juvenile
15 Justice shall be made only if the minor was found guilty of
16 a felony offense or first degree murder. The court shall
17 include in the sentencing order any pre-custody credits the
18 minor is entitled to under Section 5-4.5-100 of the Unified
19 Code of Corrections. The time during which a minor is in
20 custody before being released upon the request of a parent,
21 guardian or legal custodian shall also be considered as
22 time spent in custody.
23 (c) When a minor is found to be guilty for an offense
24 which is a violation of the Illinois Controlled Substances
25 Act, the Cannabis Control Act, or the Methamphetamine
26 Control and Community Protection Act and made a ward of the

HB5764- 1716 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 court, the court may enter a disposition order requiring
2 the minor to undergo assessment, counseling or treatment in
3 a substance use disorder treatment program approved by the
4 Department of Human Services.
5 (2) Any sentencing order other than commitment to the
6Department of Juvenile Justice may provide for protective
7supervision under Section 5-725 and may include an order of
8protection under Section 5-730.
9 (3) Unless the sentencing order expressly so provides, it

3order was entered for the judge's inspection in camera. Acting
4in accordance with the best interests of the victim and the
5public, the judge shall have the discretion to determine to
6whom the results of the testing may be revealed. The court
7shall notify the minor of the results of the test for infection

19the minor.
20 (10) When a court finds a minor to be guilty the court
21shall, before entering a sentencing order under this Section,
22make a finding whether the offense committed either: (a) was
23related to or in furtherance of the criminal activities of an
24organized gang or was motivated by the minor's membership in or
25allegiance to an organized gang, or (b) involved a violation of
26subsection (a) of Section 12-7.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961

HB5764- 1721 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1or the Criminal Code of 2012, a violation of any Section of
2Article 24 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of
32012, or a violation of any statute that involved the wrongful
4use of a firearm. If the court determines the question in the
5affirmative, and the court does not commit the minor to the
6Department of Juvenile Justice, the court shall order the minor
7to perform community service for not less than 30 hours nor
8more than 120 hours, provided that community service is
9available in the jurisdiction and is funded and approved by the
10county board of the county where the offense was committed. The
11community service shall include, but need not be limited to,
12the cleanup and repair of any damage caused by a violation of
13Section 21-1.3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal
14Code of 2012 and similar damage to property located in the
15municipality or county in which the violation occurred. When
16possible and reasonable, the community service shall be
17performed in the minor's neighborhood. This order shall be in
18addition to any other order authorized by this Section except
19for an order to place the minor in the custody of the
20Department of Juvenile Justice. For the purposes of this
21Section, "organized gang" has the meaning ascribed to it in
22Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
23Prevention Act.
24 (11) If the court determines that the offense was committed
25in furtherance of the criminal activities of an organized gang,
26as provided in subsection (10), and that the offense involved

HB5764- 1722 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1the operation or use of a motor vehicle or the use of a
2driver's license or permit, the court shall notify the
3Secretary of State of that determination and of the period for
4which the minor shall be denied driving privileges. If, at the
5time of the determination, the minor does not hold a driver's
6license or permit, the court shall provide that the minor shall
7not be issued a driver's license or permit until his or her
818th birthday. If the minor holds a driver's license or permit
9at the time of the determination, the court shall provide that
10the minor's driver's license or permit shall be revoked until
11his or her 21st birthday, or until a later date or occurrence
12determined by the court. If the minor holds a driver's license
13at the time of the determination, the court may direct the
14Secretary of State to issue the minor a judicial driving
15permit, also known as a JDP. The JDP shall be subject to the
16same terms as a JDP issued under Section 6-206.1 of the
17Illinois Vehicle Code, except that the court may direct that
18the JDP be effective immediately.

20shall be considered a "gambling device", and shall be subject
21to seizure, confiscation and destruction by the Department of

23within whose jurisdiction the same may be found. As used in
24this Section, a "gambling device" includes any slot machine,
25and includes any machine or device constructed for the

1reception of money or other thing of value and so constructed
2as to return, or to cause someone to return, on chance to the
3player thereof money, property or a right to receive money or
4property. With the exception of any device designed for
5gambling which is incapable of lawful use, no gambling device
6shall be forfeited or destroyed unless an individual with a
7property interest in said device knows of the unlawful use of
8the device.
9 (b) Every gambling device shall be seized and forfeited to
10the county wherein such seizure occurs. Any money or other
11thing of value integrally related to acts of gambling shall be
12seized and forfeited to the county wherein such seizure occurs.
13 (c) If, within 60 days after any seizure pursuant to
14subparagraph (b) of this Section, a person having any property
15interest in the seized property is charged with an offense, the
16court which renders judgment upon such charge shall, within 30
17days after such judgment, conduct a forfeiture hearing to
18determine whether such property was a gambling device at the
19time of seizure. Such hearing shall be commenced by a written
20petition by the State, including material allegations of fact,
21the name and address of every person determined by the State to
22have any property interest in the seized property, a
23representation that written notice of the date, time and place
24of such hearing has been mailed to every such person by
25certified mail at least 10 days before such date, and a request
26for forfeiture. Every such person may appear as a party and

HB5764- 1770 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1present evidence at such hearing. The quantum of proof required
2shall be a preponderance of the evidence, and the burden of
3proof shall be on the State. If the court determines that the

10wherein such seizure occurred; money and other things of value
11shall be received by the State's Attorney and, upon
12liquidation, shall be deposited in the general fund of the

14that a defendant raises the defense that the seized slot
15machine is an antique slot machine described in subparagraph
16(b) (7) of Section 28-1 of this Code and therefore he is exempt
17from the charge of a gambling activity participant, the seized
18antique slot machine shall not be destroyed or otherwise
19altered until a final determination is made by the Court as to
20whether it is such an antique slot machine. Upon a final
21determination by the Court of this question in favor of the
22defendant, such slot machine shall be immediately returned to
23the defendant. Such order of forfeiture and disposition shall,
24for the purposes of appeal, be a final order and judgment in a
25civil proceeding.

17 proceedings, and may include one or more of the following:
18 incarceration, payment of restitution, a fine, payment of
19 attorneys' fees and costs, or community service.

14 violation of a protective order, a criminal court may
15 consider evidence of any violations of a protective order:

23 Office of the Attorney General and provided to the victim
24 by the State's Attorney. The victim may at any time provide
25 a revised written notice to the State's Attorney. The
26 State's Attorney shall file the written notice with the

HB5764- 1803 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 court. At the beginning of any court proceeding in which
2 the right of a victim may be at issue, the court and
3 prosecutor shall review the written notice to determine
4 whether the victim has asserted the right that may be at
5 issue.
6 (2) Victim's retained attorney. A victim's attorney
7 shall file an entry of appearance limited to assertion of
8 the victim's rights. Upon the filing of the entry of
9 appearance and service on the State's Attorney and the
10 defendant, the attorney is to receive copies of all
11 notices, motions and court orders filed thereafter in the
12 case.
13 (3) Standing. The victim has standing to assert the
14 rights enumerated in subsection (a) of Article I, Section
15 8.1 of the Illinois Constitution and the statutory rights
16 under Section 4 of this Act in any court exercising

18 attorney, a victim, or the victim's retained attorney may
19 assert the victim's rights. The defendant in the criminal
20 case has no standing to assert a right of the victim in any
21 court proceeding, including on appeal.
22 (4) Assertion of and enforcement of rights.
23 (A) The prosecuting attorney shall assert a
24 victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
25 filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
26 requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal

HB5764- 1804 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 case outside the presence of the jury. The prosecuting
2 attorney shall consult with the victim and the victim's
3 attorney regarding the assertion or enforcement of a
4 right. If the prosecuting attorney decides not to
5 assert or enforce a victim's right, the prosecuting
6 attorney shall notify the victim or the victim's
7 attorney in sufficient time to allow the victim or the
8 victim's attorney to assert the right or to seek
9 enforcement of a right.
10 (B) If the prosecuting attorney elects not to
11 assert a victim's right or to seek enforcement of a
12 right, the victim or the victim's attorney may assert
13 the victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
14 filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
15 requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
16 case outside the presence of the jury.
17 (C) If the prosecuting attorney asserts a victim's
18 right or seeks enforcement of a right, and the court
19 denies the assertion of the right or denies the request
20 for enforcement of a right, the victim or victim's
21 attorney may file a motion to assert the victim's right
22 or to request enforcement of the right within 10 days
23 of the court's ruling. The motion need not demonstrate
24 the grounds for a motion for reconsideration. The court
25 shall rule on the merits of the motion.
26 (D) The court shall take up and decide any motion

HB5764- 1805 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a
2 victim's right without delay, unless a specific time
3 period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons
4 for any decision denying the motion or request shall be
5 clearly stated on the record.
6 (5) Violation of rights and remedies.
7 (A) If the court determines that a victim's right
8 has been violated, the court shall determine the
9 appropriate remedy for the violation of the victim's
10 right by hearing from the victim and the parties,
11 considering all factors relevant to the issue, and then
12 awarding appropriate relief to the victim.
13 (A-5) Consideration of an issue of a substantive
14 nature or an issue that implicates the constitutional
15 or statutory right of a victim at a court proceeding
16 labeled as a status hearing shall constitute a per se
17 violation of a victim's right.
18 (B) The appropriate remedy shall include only
19 actions necessary to provide the victim the right to
20 which the victim was entitled and may include reopening
21 previously held proceedings; however, in no event
22 shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall
23 be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate remedy
24 without violating any constitutional right of the
25 defendant. In no event shall the appropriate remedy be
26 a new trial, damages, or costs.

1 (6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right
2 to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise
3 the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses.
4 (7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written
5 motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days
6 prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with
7 specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a
8 constitutional right of the party, and must contain an
9 offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
10 30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
11 forth on the record the facts that support its finding that
12 the victim's testimony will be materially affected if the
13 victim hears other testimony at trial.
14 (8) Right to have advocate and support person present
15 at court proceedings.
16 (A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a
17 witness at trial must seek permission of the court
18 before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a
19 written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets
20 forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's
21 testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding (i)
22 the content of the anticipated testimony of the
23 advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
24 materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court
25 shall consider the motion and make findings within 30
26 days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by

HB5764- 1807 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the
2 anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute
3 privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains
4 relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is
5 not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
6 court shall issue a subpoena requiring the advocate to
7 appear to testify at an in camera hearing. The
8 prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days
9 to seek appellate review before the advocate is
10 required to testify at an ex parte in camera
11 proceeding.
12 The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the
13 advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at
14 the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after conducting
15 the ex parte in camera hearing, the court determines
16 that due process requires any testimony regarding
17 confidential or privileged information or
18 communications, the court shall provide to the
19 prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's
20 attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the
21 advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the
22 victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days
23 to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be
24 issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The
25 presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte in
26 camera proceeding does not make the substance of the

HB5764- 1808 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 advocate's testimony that the court has ruled
2 inadmissible subject to discovery.
3 (B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a
4 support person present at the court proceedings, the
5 victim shall provide the name of the person the victim
6 has chosen to be the victim's support person to the
7 prosecuting attorney, within 60 days of trial. The
8 prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the
9 defendant. If the defendant intends to call the support
10 person as a witness at trial, the defendant must seek
11 permission of the court before a subpoena is issued.
12 The defendant must file a written motion at least 45
13 days prior to trial that sets forth specifically the
14 issues on which the support person will testify and an
15 offer of proof regarding: (i) the content of the
16 anticipated testimony of the support person; and (ii)
17 the relevance, admissibility, and materiality of the
18 anticipated testimony.
19 If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the
20 support person as a witness during the State's
21 case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform
22 the court of this intent in the response to the
23 defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a
24 different person to be the victim's support person. The
25 court may allow the defendant to inquire about matters
26 outside the scope of the direct examination during

HB5764- 1809 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 cross-examination. If the court allows the defendant
2 to do so, the support person shall be allowed to remain
3 in the courtroom after the support person has
4 testified. A defendant who fails to question the
5 support person about matters outside the scope of
6 direct examination during the State's case-in-chief
7 waives the right to challenge the presence of the
8 support person on appeal. The court shall allow the
9 support person to testify if called as a witness in the
10 defendant's case-in-chief or the State's rebuttal.
11 If the court does not allow the defendant to
12 inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct
13 examination, the support person shall be allowed to
14 remain in the courtroom after the support person has
15 been called by the defendant or the defendant has
16 rested. The court shall allow the support person to
17 testify in the State's rebuttal.
18 If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to call
19 the support person in the State's case-in-chief, the
20 court shall verify with the support person whether the
21 support person, if called as a witness, would testify
22 as set forth in the offer of proof. If the court finds
23 that the support person would testify as set forth in
24 the offer of proof, the court shall rule on the
25 relevance, materiality, and admissibility of the
26 anticipated testimony. If the court rules the

HB5764- 1810 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall
2 issue the subpoena. The support person may remain in
3 the courtroom after the support person testifies and
4 shall be allowed to testify in rebuttal.
5 If the court excludes the victim's support person
6 during the State's case-in-chief, the victim shall be
7 allowed to choose another support person to be present
8 in court.
9 If the victim fails to designate a support person
10 within 60 days of trial and the defendant has
11 subpoenaed the support person to testify at trial, the
12 court may exclude the support person from the trial
13 until the support person testifies. If the court
14 excludes the support person the victim may choose
15 another person as a support person.
16 (9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of
17 confidential or privileged information or records. A
18 defendant who seeks to subpoena records of or concerning
19 the victim that are confidential or privileged by law must
20 seek permission of the court before the subpoena is issued.
21 The defendant must file a written motion and an offer of
22 proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
23 materiality of the records. If the court finds by a
24 preponderance of the evidence that: (A) the records are not
25 protected by an absolute privilege and (B) the records
26 contain relevant, admissible, and material evidence that

HB5764- 1811 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 is not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
2 court shall issue a subpoena requiring a sealed copy of the
3 records be delivered to the court to be reviewed in camera.
4 If, after conducting an in camera review of the records,
5 the court determines that due process requires disclosure
6 of any portion of the records, the court shall provide
7 copies of what it intends to disclose to the prosecuting
8 attorney and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the
9 victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review before
10 the records are disclosed to the defendant. The disclosure
11 of copies of any portion of the records to the prosecuting
12 attorney does not make the records subject to discovery.
13 (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
14 victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
15 right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
16 prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of the
17 time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and that
18 the victim had a right to be heard at the court proceeding.
19 If the court determines that timely notice was not given or
20 that the victim was not adequately informed of the nature
21 of the court proceeding, the court shall not rule on any
22 substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a sentence and
23 shall continue the hearing for the time necessary to notify
24 the victim of the time, place and nature of the court
25 proceeding. The time between court proceedings shall not be
26 attributable to the State under Section 103-5 of the Code

HB5764- 1812 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
2 (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
3 has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to
4 minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
5 from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling on
6 a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding, the
7 court shall inquire into the circumstances for the request
8 for the delay and, if the victim has provided written
9 notice of the assertion of the right to a timely
10 disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
11 If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
12 court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has not
13 conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
14 prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
15 confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
16 to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
17 victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
18 prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
19 confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
20 the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
21 continuance, the number and length of continuances that
22 have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures
23 to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over
24 the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
25 record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
26 that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.

HB5764- 1813 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (12) Right to Restitution.
2 (A) If the victim has asserted the right to
3 restitution and the amount of restitution is known at
4 the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
5 judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
6 (B) If the victim has asserted the right to
7 restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
8 at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall, within
9 5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what
10 information and documentation related to restitution
11 is needed and that the information and documentation
12 must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days after
13 sentencing. Failure to timely provide information and
14 documentation related to restitution shall be deemed a
15 waiver of the right to restitution. The prosecutor
16 shall file and serve within 60 days after sentencing a
17 proposed judgment for restitution and a notice that
18 includes information concerning the identity of any
19 victims or other persons seeking restitution, whether
20 any victim or other person expressly declines
21 restitution, the nature and amount of any damages
22 together with any supporting documentation, a
23 restitution amount recommendation, and the names of
24 any co-defendants and their case numbers. Within 30
25 days after receipt of the proposed judgment for
26 restitution, the defendant shall file any objection to

HB5764- 1814 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 the proposed judgment, a statement of grounds for the
2 objection, and a financial statement. If the defendant
3 does not file an objection, the court may enter the
4 judgment for restitution without further proceedings.
5 If the defendant files an objection and either party
6 requests a hearing, the court shall schedule a hearing.
7 (13) Access to presentence reports.
8 (A) The victim may request a copy of the
9 presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
10 Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
11 Attorney shall redact the following information before
12 providing a copy of the report:
13 (i) the defendant's mental history and
14 condition;
15 (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
16 (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
17 (iii) the name, address, phone number, and
18 other personal information about any other victim.
19 (B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may
20 request the court redact other information in the
21 report that may endanger the safety of any person.
22 (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to the
23 victim any of the information that has been redacted if
24 there is a reasonable likelihood that the information
25 will be stated in court at the sentencing.
26 (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim

HB5764- 1815 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
2 the report and other information. Any dissemination of
3 the report or information that was not stated at a
4 court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
5 contempt of court.
6 (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
7 relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or the
8 prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days of
9 the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court may
10 stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a stay
11 would not violate a constitutional right of the defendant.
12 If the appellate court denies the relief sought, the
13 reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated in a written
14 opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the State may
15 assert as error the court's denial of any crime victim's
16 right in the proceeding to which the appeal relates.
17 (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
18 an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
19 violation of a victim's right.
20 (16) The right to be reasonably protected from the
21 accused throughout the criminal justice process and the
22 right to have the safety of the victim and the victim's
23 family considered in denying or fixing the amount of bail,
24 determining whether to release the defendant, and setting
25 conditions of release after arrest and conviction. A victim
26 of domestic violence, a sexual offense, or stalking may

HB5764- 1816 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 request the entry of a protective order under Article 112A
2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
3 (d) Procedures after the imposition of sentence.
4 (1) The Prisoner Review Board shall inform a victim or
5 any other concerned citizen, upon written request, of the
6 prisoner's release on parole, mandatory supervised
7 release, electronic detention, work release, international
8 transfer or exchange, or by the custodian, other than the
9 Department of Juvenile Justice, of the discharge of any
10 individual who was adjudicated a delinquent for a crime
11 from State custody and by the sheriff of the appropriate
12 county of any such person's final discharge from county
13 custody. The Prisoner Review Board, upon written request,
14 shall provide to a victim or any other concerned citizen a
15 recent photograph of any person convicted of a felony, upon
16 his or her release from custody. The Prisoner Review Board,
17 upon written request, shall inform a victim or any other
18 concerned citizen when feasible at least 7 days prior to
19 the prisoner's release on furlough of the times and dates
20 of such furlough. Upon written request by the victim or any
21 other concerned citizen, the State's Attorney shall notify
22 the person once of the times and dates of release of a
23 prisoner sentenced to periodic imprisonment. Notification
24 shall be based on the most recent information as to
25 victim's or other concerned citizen's residence or other
26 location available to the notifying authority.

HB5764- 1817 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2 Department of Human Services pursuant to Section 5-2-4 or
3 any other provision of the Unified Code of Corrections, the
4 victim may request to be notified by the releasing
5 authority of the approval by the court of an on-grounds
6 pass, a supervised off-grounds pass, an unsupervised
7 off-grounds pass, or conditional release; the release on an
8 off-grounds pass; the return from an off-grounds pass;
9 transfer to another facility; conditional release; escape;
10 death; or final discharge from State custody. The
11 Department of Human Services shall establish and maintain a
12 statewide telephone number to be used by victims to make
13 notification requests under these provisions and shall
14 publicize this telephone number on its website and to the
15 State's Attorney of each county.
16 (3) In the event of an escape from State custody, the
17 Department of Corrections or the Department of Juvenile
18 Justice immediately shall notify the Prisoner Review Board
19 of the escape and the Prisoner Review Board shall notify
20 the victim. The notification shall be based upon the most
21 recent information as to the victim's residence or other
22 location available to the Board. When no such information
23 is available, the Board shall make all reasonable efforts
24 to obtain the information and make the notification. When
25 the escapee is apprehended, the Department of Corrections
26 or the Department of Juvenile Justice immediately shall

HB5764- 1818 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 notify the Prisoner Review Board and the Board shall notify
2 the victim.
3 (4) The victim of the crime for which the prisoner has
4 been sentenced has the right to register with the Prisoner
5 Review Board's victim registry. Victims registered with
6 the Board shall receive reasonable written notice not less
7 than 30 days prior to the parole hearing or target
8 aftercare release date. The victim has the right to submit
9 a victim statement for consideration by the Prisoner Review
10 Board or the Department of Juvenile Justice in writing, on

12 of a recording prior to the parole hearing or target

2 public.
3 (4-1) The crime victim has the right to submit a victim
4 statement for consideration by the Prisoner Review Board or
5 the Department of Juvenile Justice prior to or at a hearing
6 to determine the conditions of mandatory supervised
7 release of a person sentenced to a determinate sentence or
8 at a hearing on revocation of mandatory supervised release
9 of a person sentenced to a determinate sentence. A victim

6day period of a facility operated by the Department with

24Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall allow a victim to
25make an oral statement if the victim is present in the
26courtroom and requests to make an oral statement. An oral

HB5764- 1840 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1statement includes the victim or a representative of the victim
2reading the written statement. The court may allow persons
3impacted by the crime who are not victims under subsection (a)
4of Section 3 of the Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses Act
5to present an oral or written statement. A victim and any
6person making an oral statement shall not be put under oath or
7subject to cross-examination. The court shall consider any
8statement presented along with all other appropriate factors in
9determining the sentence of the defendant or disposition of the
10juvenile. All statements shall become part of the record of the
11court.
12 If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
13services on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall order the
14defendant to the Department of Human Services. The defendant
15shall be placed in a secure setting. Such defendants placed in
16a secure setting shall not be permitted outside the facility's
17housing unit unless escorted or accompanied by personnel of the
18Department of Human Services or with the prior approval of the
19Court for unsupervised on-grounds privileges as provided

26the safety of Department of Human Services personnel and

HB5764- 1841 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

4services, but not on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall
5conditionally release the defendant, under such conditions as
6set forth in this Section as will reasonably assure the
7defendant's satisfactory progress and participation in
8treatment or rehabilitation and the safety of the defendant,
9the victim, the victim's family members, and others. If the

22with the approval of the Director of Court Services or the
23Chief Probation Officer, adjust the monthly fee amount. An
24offender may elect to pay probation fees due in a lump sum. Any

4pay.

11of this Section, in the case of an offender convicted of a
12felony sex offense (as defined in the Sex Offender Management

26shall be substantially as follows:

HB5764- 1917 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 "If you are unable to pay the fees, costs, and charges
2 of an action you may ask the court to allow you to proceed
3 without paying them. Ask the clerk of the court for forms."
4 (d) (Blank).
5 (e) The clerk of the court shall not refuse to accept and
6file any complaint, appearance, or other paper presented by the
7applicant if accompanied by an application for waiver of court
8fees, costs, and charges, and those papers shall be considered
9filed on the date the application is presented. If the
10application is denied or a partial fees, costs, and charges
11waiver is granted, the order shall state a date certain by
12which the necessary fees, costs, and charges must be paid. For
13good cause shown, the court may allow an applicant who receives
14a partial fees, costs, and charges waiver to defer payment of
15fees, costs, and charges, make installment payments, or make
16payment upon reasonable terms and conditions stated in the
17order. The court may dismiss the claims or strike the defenses
18of any party failing to pay the fees, costs, and charges within
19the time and in the manner ordered by the court. A judicial
20ruling on an application for waiver of court assessments does
21not constitute a decision of a substantial issue in the case
22under Section 2-1001 of this Code.
23 (f) The order granting a full or partial fees, costs, and
24charges waiver shall expire after one year. Upon expiration of
25the waiver, or a reasonable period of time before expiration,
26the party whose fees, costs, and charges were waived may file

HB5764- 1918 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1another application for waiver and the court shall consider the
2application in accordance with the applicable Supreme Court
3Rule.
4 (f-5) If, before or at the time of final disposition of the
5case, the court obtains information, including information
6from the court file, suggesting that a person whose fees,
7costs, and charges were initially waived was not entitled to a
8full or partial waiver at the time of application, the court
9may require the person to appear at a court hearing by giving
10the applicant no less than 10 days' written notice of the
11hearing and the specific reasons why the initial waiver might
12be reconsidered. The court may require the applicant to provide
13reasonably available evidence, including financial
14information, to support his or her eligibility for the waiver,
15but the court shall not require submission of information that
16is unrelated to the criteria for eligibility and application
17requirements set forth in subdivision (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this
18Section. If the court finds that the person was not initially
19entitled to any waiver, the person shall pay all fees, costs,
20and charges relating to the civil action, including any
21previously waived fees, costs, and charges. The order may state
22terms of payment in accordance with subsection (e). The court
23shall not conduct a hearing under this subsection more often
24than once every 6 months.
25 (f-10) If, before or at the time of final disposition of
26the case, the court obtains information, including information

HB5764- 1919 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1from the court file, suggesting that a person who received a
2full or partial waiver has experienced a change in financial
3condition so that he or she is no longer eligible for that
4waiver, the court may require the person to appear at a court
5hearing by giving the applicant no less than 10 days' written
6notice of the hearing and the specific reasons why the waiver
7might be reconsidered. The court may require the person to
8provide reasonably available evidence, including financial
9information, to support his or her continued eligibility for
10the waiver, but shall not require submission of information
11that is unrelated to the criteria for eligibility and
12application requirements set forth in subdivisions (b)(1) and
13(b)(2) of this Section. If the court enters an order finding
14that the person is no longer entitled to a waiver, or is
15entitled to a partial waiver different than that which the
16person had previously received, the person shall pay the
17requisite fees, costs, and charges from the date of the order
18going forward. The order may state terms of payment in
19accordance with subsection (e) of this Section. The court shall
20not conduct a hearing under this subsection more often than
21once every 6 months.
22 (g) A court, in its discretion, may appoint counsel to
23represent an indigent person, and that counsel shall perform
24his or her duties without fees, charges, or reward.
25 (h) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to affect
26the right of a party to sue or defend an action in forma

HB5764- 1920 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1pauperis without the payment of fees, costs, charges, or the
2right of a party to court-appointed counsel, as authorized by
3any other provision of law or by the rules of the Illinois
4Supreme Court. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
5limit the authority of a court to order another party to the
6action to pay the fees, costs, and charges of the action.
7 (h-5) If a party is represented by a civil legal services
8provider or an attorney in a court-sponsored pro bono program
9as defined in Section 5-105.5 of this Code, the attorney
10representing that party shall file a certification with the
11court in accordance with Supreme Court Rule 298 and that party
12shall be allowed to sue or defend without payment of fees,
13costs, and charges without filing an application under this
14Section.

20 United States territory; and at least one of these
21 convictions took place within 5 years of the filing of the
22 petition or motion seeking termination of parental rights.

16 test result that at birth the child's blood, urine, or

15 established as required under Section 8.2 of the Abused and
16 Neglected Child Reporting Act to correct the conditions
17 that were the basis for the removal of the child from the
18 parent and if those services were available, then, for
19 purposes of this Act, "failure to make reasonable progress
20 toward the return of the child to the parent" includes the
21 parent's failure to substantially fulfill his or her
22 obligations under the service plan and correct the

HB5764- 1931 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 motion seeks to terminate parental rights on the basis of
2 item (ii) of this subsection (m), the petitioner shall file
3 with the court and serve on the parties a pleading that
4 specifies the 9-month period or periods relied on. The
5 pleading shall be filed and served on the parties no later
6 than 3 weeks before the date set by the court for closure
7 of discovery, and the allegations in the pleading shall be
8 treated as incorporated into the petition or motion.
9 Failure of a respondent to file a written denial of the
10 allegations in the pleading shall not be treated as an
11 admission that the allegations are true.
12 (m-1) (Blank).
13 (n) Evidence of intent to forgo his or her parental
14 rights, whether or not the child is a ward of the court,
15 (1) as manifested by his or her failure for a period of 12
16 months: (i) to visit the child, (ii) to communicate with
17 the child or agency, although able to do so and not
18 prevented from doing so by an agency or by court order, or
19 (iii) to maintain contact with or plan for the future of
20 the child, although physically able to do so, or (2) as
21 manifested by the father's failure, where he and the mother
22 of the child were unmarried to each other at the time of
23 the child's birth, (i) to commence legal proceedings to
24 establish his paternity under the Illinois Parentage Act of
25 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, or the law of the
26 jurisdiction of the child's birth within 30 days of being

HB5764- 1932 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 informed, pursuant to Section 12a of this Act, that he is
2 the father or the likely father of the child or, after
3 being so informed where the child is not yet born, within
4 30 days of the child's birth, or (ii) to make a good faith
5 effort to pay a reasonable amount of the expenses related
6 to the birth of the child and to provide a reasonable
7 amount for the financial support of the child, the court to
8 consider in its determination all relevant circumstances,
9 including the financial condition of both parents;
10 provided that the ground for termination provided in this
11 subparagraph (n)(2)(ii) shall only be available where the
12 petition is brought by the mother or the husband of the
13 mother.
14 Contact or communication by a parent with his or her
15 child that does not demonstrate affection and concern does
16 not constitute reasonable contact and planning under
17 subdivision (n). In the absence of evidence to the
18 contrary, the ability to visit, communicate, maintain
19 contact, pay expenses and plan for the future shall be
20 presumed. The subjective intent of the parent, whether
21 expressed or otherwise, unsupported by evidence of the
22 foregoing parental acts manifesting that intent, shall not
23 preclude a determination that the parent has intended to
24 forgo his or her parental rights. In making this
25 determination, the court may consider but shall not require
26 a showing of diligent efforts by an authorized agency to

HB5764- 1933 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 encourage the parent to perform the acts specified in
2 subdivision (n).
3 It shall be an affirmative defense to any allegation
4 under paragraph (2) of this subsection that the father's
5 failure was due to circumstances beyond his control or to
6 impediments created by the mother or any other person
7 having legal custody. Proof of that fact need only be by a
8 preponderance of the evidence.
9 (o) Repeated or continuous failure by the parents,
10 although physically and financially able, to provide the
11 child with adequate food, clothing, or shelter.
12 (p) Inability to discharge parental responsibilities
13 supported by competent evidence from a psychiatrist,
14 licensed clinical social worker, or clinical psychologist
15 of mental impairment, mental illness or an intellectual
16 disability as defined in Section 1-116 of the Mental Health
17 and Developmental Disabilities Code, or developmental
18 disability as defined in Section 1-106 of that Code, and
19 there is sufficient justification to believe that the
20 inability to discharge parental responsibilities shall
21 extend beyond a reasonable time period. However, this
22 subdivision (p) shall not be construed so as to permit a
23 licensed clinical social worker to conduct any medical
24 diagnosis to determine mental illness or mental
25 impairment.
26 (q) (Blank).

HB5764- 1934 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (r) The child is in the temporary custody or
2 guardianship of the Department of Children and Family
3 Services, the parent is incarcerated as a result of
4 criminal conviction at the time the petition or motion for
5 termination of parental rights is filed, prior to
6 incarceration the parent had little or no contact with the
7 child or provided little or no support for the child, and
8 the parent's incarceration will prevent the parent from
9 discharging his or her parental responsibilities for the
10 child for a period in excess of 2 years after the filing of
11 the petition or motion for termination of parental rights.
12 (s) The child is in the temporary custody or
13 guardianship of the Department of Children and Family
14 Services, the parent is incarcerated at the time the
15 petition or motion for termination of parental rights is
16 filed, the parent has been repeatedly incarcerated as a
17 result of criminal convictions, and the parent's repeated

14 after the date the final account is furnished. If the
15 account is provided to the representative of the estate of
16 the beneficiary or to a spouse, parent, adult child, or
17 guardian of the person of the beneficiary, the account is
18 binding on the beneficiary unless an action is instituted

20 the beneficiary or by the spouse, parent, adult child, or
21 guardian of the person to whom the account is furnished
22 within 3 years after the date it is furnished.

13 beneficiaries receiving the final account, and all persons
14 claiming by or through them, unless an action against the
15 trustee is instituted by the beneficiary or person claiming
16 by or through him or her within 2 years after January 1,
17 1988.

19proceeding by a beneficiary against a trustee for breach of
20trust must be commenced within 5 years after the first to occur
21of:
22 (1) the removal, resignation, or death of the trustee;
23 (2) the termination of the beneficiary's interest in

8 (1) "Grantor trust" means a trust as to which a settlor
9 of a first trust is considered the owner under Sections 671
10 through 677 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 679 of
11 the Internal Revenue Code.

19 Code or the regulations.
20 (b) An exercise of the decanting power is subject to the
21following limitations:
22 (1) If a first trust contains property that qualified,
23 or would have qualified but for provisions of this Article
24 other than this Section, for a marital deduction for
25 purposes of the gift or estate tax under the Internal

HB5764- 1963 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Revenue Code or a state gift, estate, or inheritance tax,
2 the second-trust instrument must not include or omit any
3 term that, if included in or omitted from the trust
4 instrument for the trust to which the property was
5 transferred, would have prevented the transfer from
6 qualifying for the deduction, or would have reduced the
7 amount of the deduction, under the same provisions of the
8 Internal Revenue Code or state law under which the transfer
9 qualified.
10 (2) If the first trust contains property that
11 qualified, or would have qualified but for provisions of
12 this Article other than this Section, for a charitable
13 deduction for purposes of the income, gift, or estate tax
14 under the Internal Revenue Code or a state income, gift,
15 estate, or inheritance tax, the second-trust instrument
16 must not include or omit any term that, if included in or
17 omitted from the trust instrument for the trust to which
18 the property was transferred, would have prevented the
19 transfer from qualifying for the deduction, or would have
20 reduced the amount of the deduction, under the same
21 provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or state law under
22 which the transfer qualified.
23 (3) If the first trust contains property that
24 qualified, or would have qualified but for provisions of
25 this Article other than this Section, for the exclusion
26 from the gift tax described in Section 2503(b) of the

HB5764- 1964 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 Internal Revenue Code, the second-trust instrument must
2 not include or omit a term that, if included in or omitted
3 from the trust instrument for the trust to which the
4 property was transferred, would have prevented the
5 transfer from qualifying under the same provision of
6 Section 2503 of the Internal Revenue Code. If the first
7 trust contains property that qualified, or would have
8 qualified but for provisions of this Article other than
9 this Section, for the exclusion from the gift tax described
10 in Section 2503(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, by
11 application of Section 2503(c) of the Internal Revenue
12 Code, the second-trust instrument must not include or omit
13 a term that, if included or omitted from the trust
14 instrument for the trust to which the property was
15 transferred, would have prevented the transfer from
16 qualifying under Section 2503(c) of the Internal Revenue
17 Code.
18 (4) If the property of the first trust includes shares
19 of stock in an S corporation, as defined in Section 1361 of
20 the Internal Revenue Code and the first trust is, or but
21 for provisions of this Article other than this Section
22 would be, a permitted shareholder under any provision of
23 Section 1361 of the Internal Revenue Code, an authorized
24 fiduciary may exercise the power with respect to part or
25 all of the S corporation S-corporation stock only if any
26 second trust receiving the stock is a permitted shareholder

HB5764- 1965 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 under Section 1361(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. If
2 the property of the first trust includes shares of stock in
3 an S corporation and the first trust is, or but for
4 provisions of this Article other than this Section, would
5 be, a qualified subchapter S subchapter-S trust within the
6 meaning of Section 1361(d) of the Internal Revenue Code,
7 the second-trust instrument must not include or omit a term
8 that prevents the second trust from qualifying as a
9 qualified subchapter S subchapter-S trust.
10 (5) If the first trust contains property that
11 qualified, or would have qualified but for provisions of
12 this Article other than this Section, for a zero inclusion
13 ratio for purposes of the generation-skipping transfer tax
14 under Section 2642(c) of the Internal Revenue Code the
15 second-trust instrument must not include or omit a term
16 that, if included in or omitted from the first-trust
17 instrument, would have prevented the transfer to the first
18 trust from qualifying for a zero inclusion ratio under
19 Section 2642(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
20 (6) If the first trust is directly or indirectly the
21 beneficiary of qualified benefits property, the
22 second-trust instrument may not include or omit any term
23 that, if included in or omitted from the first-trust
24 instrument, would have increased the minimum distributions
25 required with respect to the qualified benefits property
26 under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and

HB5764- 1966 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 any applicable regulations, or any similar requirements
2 that refer to Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue
3 Code or the regulations. If an attempted exercise of the
4 decanting power violates the preceding sentence, the
5 trustee is deemed to have held the qualified benefits
6 property and any reinvested distributions of the property
7 as a separate share from the date of the exercise of the
8 power and Section 1222 applies to the separate share.
9 (7) If the first trust qualifies as a grantor trust
10 because of the application of Section 672(f)(2)(A) of the
11 Internal Revenue Code the second trust may not include or
12 omit a term that, if included in or omitted from the
13 first-trust instrument, would have prevented the first
14 trust from qualifying under Section 672(f)(2)(A) of the
15 Internal Revenue Code.
16 (8) In this paragraph (8), "tax benefit" means a
17 federal or state tax deduction, exemption, exclusion, or
18 other benefit not otherwise listed in this Section, except
19 for a benefit arising from being a grantor trust. Subject
20 to paragraph (9) of this subsection (b), a second-trust
21 instrument may not include or omit a term that, if included
22 in or omitted from the first-trust instrument, would have
23 prevented qualification for a tax benefit if:
24 (A) the first-trust instrument expressly indicates
25 an intent to qualify for the benefit or the first-trust
26 instrument clearly is designed to enable the first

HB5764- 1967 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 trust to qualify for the benefit; and
2 (B) the transfer of property held by the first
3 trust or the first trust qualified, or but for
4 provisions of this Article other than this Section,
5 would have qualified for the tax benefit.
6 (9) Subject to paragraph (4) of this subsection (b):
7 (A) except as otherwise provided in paragraph (7)
8 of this subsection (b), the second trust may be a
9 nongrantor trust, even if the first trust is a grantor
10 trust; and
11 (B) except as otherwise provided in paragraph (10)
12 of this subsection (b), the second trust may be a
13 grantor trust, even if the first trust is a nongrantor
14 trust.
15 (10) An authorized fiduciary may not exercise the
16 decanting power if a settlor objects in a signed record
17 delivered to the fiduciary within the notice period and:
18 (A) the first trust and second trusts are both
19 grantor trusts, in whole or in part, the first trust
20 grants the settlor or another person the power to cause
21 the second trust to cease to be a grantor trust, and
22 the second trust does not grant an equivalent power to
23 the settlor or other person; or
24 (B) the first trust is a nongrantor trust and the
25 second trust is a grantor trust, in whole or in part,
26 with respect to the settlor, unless:

HB5764- 1968 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (i) the settlor has the power at all times to
2 cause the second trust to cease to be a grantor
3 trust; or
4 (ii) the first-trust instrument contains a
5 provision granting the settlor or another person a
6 power that would cause the first trust to cease to
7 be a grantor trust and the second-trust instrument
8 contains the same provision.

16 Section is tolled from the date on which the charge is
17 filed with the EEOC until the EEOC issues its
18 determination.
19 (2) If the EEOC finds reasonable cause to believe that
20 there has been a violation of federal law and if the
21 Department is timely notified of the EEOC's findings by the
22 complainant, the Department shall notify the complainant
23 that the Department has adopted the EEOC's determination of
24 reasonable cause and that the complainant has the right,

14 including when the right to sue is issued at the request of
15 the complainant, or (ii) determines that it is unable to
16 establish that illegal discrimination has occurred and
17 issues the complainant a right to sue notice, and if the
18 Department is timely notified of the EEOC's determination
19 by the complainant, the Department shall notify the
20 parties, within 10 business days after receipt of the
21 EEOC's determination, that the Department will adopt the
22 EEOC's determination as a dismissal for lack of substantial
23 evidence unless the complainant requests in writing within

25 Department review the EEOC's determination.
26 (a) If the complainant does not file a written

HB5764- 1995 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 request with the Department to review the EEOC's
2 determination within 35 days after receipt of the
3 Department's notice, the Department shall notify the
4 complainant, within 10 business days after the
5 expiration of the 35-day period, that the decision of
6 the EEOC has been adopted by the Department as a
7 dismissal for lack of substantial evidence and that the

19 determination and any evidence obtained by the EEOC
20 during its investigation. If, after reviewing the
21 EEOC's determination and any evidence obtained by the
22 EEOC, the Department determines there is no need for
23 further investigation of the charge, the Department
24 shall issue a report and the Director shall determine
25 whether there is substantial evidence that the alleged
26 civil rights violation has been committed pursuant to

HB5764- 1996 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 subsection (D) of this Section 7A-102. If, after
2 reviewing the EEOC's determination and any evidence
3 obtained by the EEOC, the Department determines there
4 is a need for further investigation of the charge, the

6 deems necessary. After reviewing the EEOC's
7 determination, the evidence obtained by the EEOC, and
8 any additional investigation conducted by the
9 Department, the Department shall issue a report and the
10 Director shall determine whether there is substantial
11 evidence that the alleged civil rights violation has
12 been committed pursuant to subsection (D) of this
13 Section 7A-102 of this Act.
14 (4) Pursuant to this Section, if the EEOC dismisses the
15 charge or a portion of the charge of discrimination
16 because, under federal law, the EEOC lacks jurisdiction
17 over the charge, and if, under this Act, the Department has
18 jurisdiction over the charge of discrimination, the
19 Department shall investigate the charge or portion of the
20 charge dismissed by the EEOC for lack of jurisdiction
21 pursuant to subsections (A), (A-1), (B), (B-1), (C), (D),
22 (E), (F), (G), (H), (I), (J), and (K) of this Section

7within 10 days of the date on which the charge was filed, serve
8a copy of the charge on the respondent and provide all parties
9with a notice of the complainant's right to opt out of the
10investigation within 60 days as set forth in subsection (C-1).

12charging party and the respondent may each file a position
13statement and other materials with the Department regarding the
14charge of alleged discrimination within 60 days of receipt of
15the notice of the charge. The position statements and other

18be served on or made available to the other party during the
19pendency of a charge with the Department. The Department may
20require the respondent to file a response to the allegations
21contained in the charge. Upon the Department's request, the

7allegation. The Department may issue a notice of default
8directed to any respondent who fails to file a response to a
9charge within 60 days of receipt of the Department's request,

12by rule promulgated by the Department. Within 30 days of
13receipt of the respondent's response, the complainant may file
14a reply to said response and shall serve a copy of said reply
15on the respondent or his or her representative. A party shall

24 representatives shall have authority to request any member
25 of the Commission to issue subpoenas to compel the

7 or deposition may be taken, within or without the State, in
8 the same manner as is provided for in the taking of
9 depositions in civil cases in circuit courts.
10 (4) Upon reasonable notice to the complainant and the
11 respondent, the Department shall conduct a fact finding
12 conference, unless prior to 365 days after the date on
13 which the charge was filed the Director has determined
14 whether there is substantial evidence that the alleged
15 civil rights violation has been committed, the charge has
16 been dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, or the parties
17 voluntarily and in writing agree to waive the fact finding

18 Commission or their designated hearing officers.
19 (2) Upon review of the report, the Director shall
20 determine whether there is substantial evidence that the
21 alleged civil rights violation has been committed. The
22 determination of substantial evidence is limited to
23 determining the need for further consideration of the
24 charge pursuant to this Act and includes, but is not
25 limited to, findings of fact and conclusions, as well as
26 the reasons for the determinations on all material issues.

HB5764- 2003 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b

2 accepts as sufficient to support a particular conclusion
3 and which consists of more than a mere scintilla but may be
4 somewhat less than a preponderance.
5 (3) If the Director determines that there is no
6 substantial evidence, the charge shall be dismissed by
7 order of the Director and the Director shall give the
8 complainant notice of his or her right to seek review of
9 the dismissal order before the Commission or commence a
10 civil action in the appropriate circuit court. If the

22 complainant and respondent of that determination. The
23 Director shall also notify the parties that the complainant
24 has the right to either commence a civil action in the
25 appropriate circuit court or request that the Department of

5 her behalf, the complainant must, within 30 days after

12 or her complaint with the Commission or commence a civil
13 action in the appropriate circuit court. If the complainant

25 conciliation conference is necessary, the complainant and
26 respondent shall be notified of the time and place of the

HB5764- 2005 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 conference by registered or certified mail at least 10 days
2 prior thereto and either or both parties shall appear at

8 disclosed by the Department unless the complainant and
9 respondent agree in writing that such disclosure be made.
10 (5) The Department's efforts to conciliate the matter
11 shall not stay or extend the time for filing the complaint
12 with the Commission or the circuit court.
13 (F) Complaint.
14 (1) When the complainant requests that the Department
15 file a complaint with the Commission on his or her behalf,
16 the Department shall prepare a written complaint, under
17 oath or affirmation, stating the nature of the civil rights
18 violation substantially as alleged in the charge
19 previously filed and the relief sought on behalf of the
20 aggrieved party. The Department shall file the complaint
21 with the Commission.
22 (2) If the complainant chooses to commence a civil
23 action in a circuit court, he or she must do so in the
24 circuit court in the county wherein the civil rights
25 violation was allegedly committed. The form of the
26 complaint in any such civil action shall be in accordance

HB5764- 2006 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 with the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure.
2 (G) Time Limit.
3 (1) When a charge of a civil rights violation has been
4 properly filed, the Department, within 365 days thereof or
5 within any extension of that period agreed to in writing by
6 all parties, shall issue its report as required by
7 subparagraph (D). Any such report shall be duly served upon
8 both the complainant and the respondent.
9 (2) If the Department has not issued its report within
10 365 days after the charge is filed, or any such longer
11 period agreed to in writing by all the parties, the
12 complainant shall have 90 days to either file his or her
13 own complaint with the Human Rights Commission or commence
14 a civil action in the appropriate circuit court. If the
15 complainant files a complaint with the Commission, the form
16 of the complaint shall be in accordance with the provisions
17 of paragraph (F)(1). If the complainant commences a civil
18 action in a circuit court, the form of the complaint shall
19 be in accordance with the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure.
20 The aggrieved party shall notify the Department that a
21 complaint has been filed and shall serve a copy of the
22 complaint on the Department on the same date that the
23 complaint is filed with the Commission or in circuit court.
24 If the complainant files a complaint with the Commission,
25 he or she may not later commence a civil action in circuit
26 court.

HB5764- 2007 -LRB101 17112 AMC 66512 b
1 (3) If an aggrieved party files a complaint with the
2 Human Rights Commission or commences a civil action in
3 circuit court pursuant to paragraph (2) of this subsection,
4 or if the time period for filing a complaint has expired,
5 the Department shall immediately cease its investigation
6 and dismiss the charge of civil rights violation. Any final
7 order entered by the Commission under this Section is
8 appealable in accordance with paragraph (B)(1) of Section
9 8-111. Failure to immediately cease an investigation and
10 dismiss the charge of civil rights violation as provided in
11 this paragraph (3) constitutes grounds for entry of an
12 order by the circuit court permanently enjoining the
13 investigation. The Department may also be liable for any
14 costs and other damages incurred by the respondent as a
15 result of the action of the Department.
