5 customer receivable directly or indirectly from
6 that seller.
7 (ii) A corporation meeting each of the
8 following criteria:
9 (a) the corporation must be a member of an

8 its affiliated group exceed the limitation
9 amount, the interest income of that
10 corporation from qualifying loans shall be
11 equal to its interest income from loans to

13 fraction equal to the limitation amount
14 divided by the average outstanding balances of
15 the loans made by that corporation to members
16 of its affiliated group;

18 (including, without limitation, paid-in
19 capital on common and preferred stock and

21 total of all of its loans, advances, and other
22 obligations payable or owed to members of its
23 affiliated group may not exceed 20% of the

1 obligations of the affiliated group payable to
2 persons outside the group determined in
3 accordance with generally accepted accounting
4 principles must be obligations of the
5 corporation.
6 This amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly
7 is declaratory of existing law.
8 (D) Subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph
9 are declaratory of existing law and apply

12 all amended returns filed no later than 30 days after
13 the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1996, and
14 to all notices issued on or before the effective date
15 of this amendatory Act of 1996 under subsection (a) of
16 Section 903, subsection (a) of Section 904, subsection

19 transaction with an affiliate shall be a "financial
20 organization" for all purposes of this Act.
21 (E) For all tax years beginning on or before
22 December 31, 1996, a taxpayer that falls within the
23 definition of a "financial organization" under
24 subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph, but who
25 does not fall within the definition of a "financial
26 organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by

10200SB3865ham002- 24 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1 the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may
2 irrevocably elect to apply the Proposed Regulations

10 member's total business activity; for purposes of this
11 paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304,
12 business activity within the United States shall be
13 measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
14 under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of
15 Section 304 except that, in the case of members
16 ordinarily required to apportion business income by
17 means of the 3 factor formula of property, payroll and
18 sales specified in subsection (a) of Section 304,
19 including the formula as weighted in subsection (h) of
20 Section 304, such members shall not use the sales
21 factor in the computation and the results of the
22 property and payroll factor computations of subsection
23 (a) of Section 304 shall be divided by 2 (by one if
24 either the property or payroll factor has a
25 denominator of zero). The computation required by the
26 preceding sentence shall, in each case, involve the

10200SB3865ham002- 34 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1 division of the member's property, payroll, or revenue
2 miles in the United States, insurance premiums on
3 property or risk in the United States, or financial
4 organization business income from sources within the
5 United States, as the case may be, by the respective
6 worldwide figures for such items. Common ownership in
7 the case of corporations is the direct or indirect
8 control or ownership of more than 50% of the
9 outstanding voting stock of the persons carrying on
10 unitary business activity. Unitary business activity
11 can ordinarily be illustrated where the activities of
12 the members are: (1) in the same general line (such as
13 manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing of tangible
14 personal property, insurance, transportation or
15 finance); or (2) are steps in a vertically structured
16 enterprise or process (such as the steps involved in
17 the production of natural resources, which might
18 include exploration, mining, refining, and marketing);
19 and, in either instance, the members are functionally
20 integrated through the exercise of strong centralized
21 management (where, for example, authority over such
22 matters as purchasing, financing, tax compliance,
23 product line, personnel, marketing and capital
24 investment is not left to each member).
25 (B) In no event, for taxable years ending prior to
26 December 31, 2017, shall any unitary business group

10200SB3865ham002- 35 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1 include members which are ordinarily required to
2 apportion business income under different subsections
3 of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or
4 after December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not
5 apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a
6 member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that
7 apportion business income under any of subsections
8 (b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary
9 business group would, but for the preceding sentence,
10 include members that are ordinarily required to
11 apportion business income under different subsections
12 of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section
13 304 for which there are two or more members, there
14 shall be a separate unitary business group composed of
15 such members. For purposes of the preceding two
16 sentences, a member is "ordinarily required to
17 apportion business income" under a particular
18 subsection of Section 304 if it would be required to
19 use the apportionment method prescribed by such
20 subsection except for the fact that it derives
21 business income solely from Illinois. As used in this
22 paragraph, for taxable years ending before December
23 31, 2017, the phrase "United States" means only the 50
24 states and the District of Columbia, but does not
25 include any territory or possession of the United
26 States or any area over which the United States has

10200SB3865ham002- 36 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1 asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights with
2 respect to the exploration for or exploitation of
3 natural resources. For taxable years ending on or
4 after December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States",
5 as used in this paragraph, means only the 50 states,
6 the District of Columbia, and any area over which the
7 United States has asserted jurisdiction or claimed
8 exclusive rights with respect to the exploration for
9 or exploitation of natural resources, but does not
10 include any territory or possession of the United
11 States.
12 (C) Holding companies.
13 (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a
14 "holding company" is a corporation (other than a
15 corporation that is a financial organization under
16 paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section
17 1501 because it is a bank holding company under
18 the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of
19 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.) or because it is
20 owned by a bank or a bank holding company) that
21 owns a controlling interest in one or more other
22 taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during
23 the period that includes the taxable year and the
24 2 immediately preceding taxable years or, if the
25 corporation was formed during the current or
26 immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable

10200SB3865ham002- 37 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1 years in which the corporation has been in
2 existence, derived substantially all its gross
3 income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties,
4 fees or other charges received from controlled
5 taxpayers for the provision of services, and gains
6 on the sale or other disposition of interests in
7 controlled taxpayers or in property leased or
8 licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the
9 taxpayer in providing services to controlled
10 taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses
11 other than expenses (including interest and other
12 costs of borrowing) incurred in connection with
13 the acquisition and holding of interests in
14 controlled taxpayers and in the provision of
15 services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing
16 or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
17 (ii) The income of a holding company which is
18 a member of more than one unitary business group
19 shall be included in each unitary business group
20 of which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
21 including in each unitary business group that
22 portion of the base income of the holding company
23 that bears the same proportion to the total base
24 income of the holding company as the gross
25 receipts of the unitary business group bears to
26 the combined gross receipts of all unitary

10200SB3865ham002- 38 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1 business groups (in both cases without regard to
2 the holding company) or on any other reasonable
3 basis, consistently applied.
4 (iii) A holding company shall apportion its
5 business income under the subsection of Section
6 304 used by the other members of its unitary
7 business group. The apportionment factors of a
8 holding company which would be a member of more
9 than one unitary business group shall be included
10 with the apportionment factors of each unitary
11 business group of which it is a member on a pro
12 rata basis using the same method used in clause
13 (ii).
14 (iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C)
15 are intended to clarify existing law.
16 (D) If including the base income and factors of a
17 holding company in more than one unitary business
18 group under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect
19 the degree of integration between the holding company
20 and one or more of the unitary business groups, the
21 dependence of the holding company and one or more of
22 the unitary business groups upon each other, or the
23 contributions between the holding company and one or
24 more of the unitary business groups, the holding
25 company may petition the Director, under the
26 procedures provided under Section 304(f), for

10200SB3865ham002- 39 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1 permission to include all base income and factors of
2 the holding company only with members of a unitary
3 business group apportioning their business income
4 under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or
5 (d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the
6 holding company shall be included in a unitary
7 business group only with persons apportioning their
8 business income under the selected subsection of
9 Section 304 until the Director grants a petition of
10 the holding company either to be included in more than
11 one unitary business group under subparagraph (C) or
12 to include its base income and factors only with
13 members of a unitary business group apportioning their
14 business income under a different subsection of
15 Section 304.
16 (E) If the unitary business group members'
17 accounting periods differ, the common parent's
18 accounting period or, if there is no common parent,
19 the accounting period of the member that is expected
20 to have, on a recurring basis, the greatest Illinois
21 income tax liability must be used to determine whether
22 to use the apportionment method provided in subsection
23 (a) or subsection (h) of Section 304. The prohibition
24 against membership in a unitary business group for
25 taxpayers ordinarily required to apportion income
26 under different subsections of Section 304 does not

10200SB3865ham002- 40 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1 apply to taxpayers required to apportion income under
2 subsection (a) and subsection (h) of Section 304. The
3 provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax
4 years ending on or after December 31, 1998.
5 (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term "Subchapter S
6 corporation" means a corporation for which there is in
7 effect an election under Section 1362 of the Internal
8 Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to
9 opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S Revision Act
10 of 1982 and have applied instead the prior federal
11 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
12 (30) Foreign person. The term "foreign person" means
13 any person who is a nonresident individual who is a
14 national or citizen of a country other than the United
15 States alien individual and any nonindividual entity,
16 regardless of where created or organized, whose business

25interest accruing thereon shall be added thereto every 6
26months. It shall be subject to audit the same as State funds

10200SB3865ham002- 187 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1and accounts and shall be protected by the general bond given
2by the State Treasurer. It is considered always appropriated
3for the purposes of disbursements as provided in paragraphs
4(f) and (g) of Section 8 of this Act and shall be paid out and
5disbursed as therein provided and shall not at any time be

19transferred from the General Revenue Fund only if the funds in
20the Second Injury Fund or the Workers' Compensation Benefit

2 Upon a finding by the Commission, after reasonable notice
3and hearing, that any employer has willfully and knowingly
4failed to pay the proper amounts into the Second Injury Fund or
5the Rate Adjustment Fund required by this Section or if such
6payments are not made within the time periods prescribed by
7this Section, the employer shall, in addition to such
8payments, pay a penalty of 20% of the amount required to be
9paid or $2,500, whichever is greater, for each year or part
10thereof of such failure to pay. This penalty shall only apply
11to obligations of an employer to the Second Injury Fund or the

19amendatory Act of 1989, with at least one-fifth of such
20obligation to be paid during each year following the effective
21date of this amendatory Act of 1989. If the Commission finds,
22following reasonable notice and hearing, that an employer has
23failed to make timely payment of any obligation accruing under
24the preceding sentence, the employer shall, in addition to all
25other payments required by this Section, be liable for a
26penalty equal to 20% of the overdue obligation or $2,500,

10200SB3865ham002- 189 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1whichever is greater, for each year or part thereof that
2obligation is overdue. All or part of such a penalty may be
3waived by the Commission for good cause shown.
4 The Chairman of the Illinois Workers' Compensation
5Commission shall, annually, furnish to the Director of the
6Department of Insurance a list of the amounts paid into the
7Second Injury Fund and the Rate Adjustment Fund by each

10each insurance company are accurate as best as the Director
11can determine from the records available to the Director. The
12Chairman shall verify that the amounts paid by each
13self-insurer are accurate as best as the Chairman can
14determine from records available to the Chairman. The Chairman
15may require each self-insurer to provide information
16concerning the total compensation payments made upon which
17contributions to the Second Injury Fund and the Rate
18Adjustment Fund are predicated and any additional information

1arm or one hand.
2 The State Treasurer or his duly authorized agent shall
3have the same rights as any other party to the proceeding,
4including the right to petition for review of any award. The
5reasonable expenses of litigation, such as medical
6examinations, testimony, and transcript of evidence, incurred
7by the State Treasurer or his duly authorized representative,
8shall be borne by the Second Injury Fund.
9 If the award is not paid within 30 days after the date the
10award has become final, the Commission shall proceed to take
11judgment thereon in its own name as is provided for other
12awards by paragraph (g) of Section 19 of this Act and take the
13necessary steps to collect the award.
14 Any person, corporation or organization who has paid or
15become liable for the payment of burial expenses of the
16deceased employee may in his or its own name institute
17proceedings before the Commission for the collection thereof.
18 For the purpose of administration, receipts and
19disbursements, the Special Fund provided for in paragraph (f)
20of this Section shall be administered jointly with the Special
21Fund provided for in Section 7, paragraph (f) of the Workers'
22Occupational Diseases Act.
23 (g) All compensation, except for burial expenses provided
24in this Section to be paid in case accident results in death,
25shall be paid in installments equal to the percentage of the
26average earnings as provided for in Section 8, paragraph (b)

10200SB3865ham002- 191 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a

2earnings of the employees were paid. If this is not feasible,
3then the installments shall be paid weekly. Such compensation
4may be paid in a lump sum upon petition as provided in Section
59 of this Act. However, in addition to the benefits provided by
6Section 9 of this Act where compensation for death is payable
7to the deceased's widow, widower or to the deceased's widow,
8widower and one or more children, and where a partial lump sum
9is applied for by such beneficiary or beneficiaries within 18
10months after the deceased's death, the Commission may, in its
11discretion, grant a partial lump sum of not to exceed 100 weeks
12of the compensation capitalized at their present value upon
13the basis of interest calculated at 3% per annum with annual
14rests, upon a showing that such partial lump sum is for the
15best interest of such beneficiary or beneficiaries.
16 (h) In case the injured employee is under 16 years of age
17at the time of the accident and is illegally employed, the
18amount of compensation payable under paragraphs (a), (b), (c),
19(d) and (f) of this Section shall be increased 50%.
20 Nothing herein contained repeals or amends the provisions
21of the Child Labor Law relating to the employment of minors
22under the age of 16 years.
23 However, where an employer has on file an employment
24certificate issued pursuant to the Child Labor Law or work
25permit issued pursuant to the Federal Fair Labor Standards
26Act, as amended, or a birth certificate properly and duly

10200SB3865ham002- 192 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1issued, such certificate, permit or birth certificate is
2conclusive evidence as to the age of the injured minor
3employee for the purposes of this Section only.
4 (i) Whenever the dependents of a deceased employee are
5noncitizens aliens not residing in the United States, Mexico
6or Canada, the amount of compensation payable is limited to
7the beneficiaries described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of
8this Section and is 50% of the compensation provided in
9paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, except as
10otherwise provided by treaty.
11 In a case where any of the persons who would be entitled to
12compensation is living at any place outside of the United
13States, then payment shall be made to the personal
14representative of the deceased employee. The distribution by
15such personal representative to the persons entitled shall be
16made to such persons and in such manner as the Commission
17orders.

20 where the employment is principally localized.
21 (c) "Commission" means the Illinois Workers' Compensation
22Commission created by the Workers' Compensation Act, approved

26which has become aggravated and rendered disabling as a result

10200SB3865ham002- 197 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1of the exposure of the employment. Such aggravation shall
2arise out of a risk peculiar to or increased by the employment
3and not common to the general public.
4 A disease shall be deemed to arise out of the employment if
5there is apparent to the rational mind, upon consideration of
6all the circumstances, a causal connection between the
7conditions under which the work is performed and the
8occupational disease. The disease need not to have been
9foreseen or expected but after its contraction it must appear
10to have had its origin or aggravation in a risk connected with
11the employment and to have flowed from that source as a
12rational consequence.
13 An employee shall be conclusively deemed to have been
14exposed to the hazards of an occupational disease when, for
15any length of time however short, he or she is employed in an
16occupation or process in which the hazard of the disease
17exists; provided however, that in a claim of exposure to
18atomic radiation, the fact of such exposure must be verified
19by the records of the central registry of radiation exposure
20maintained by the Department of Public Health or by some other
21recognized governmental agency maintaining records of such
22exposures whenever and to the extent that the records are on
23file with the Department of Public Health or the agency.

25from the administration of a vaccine, including without
26limitation smallpox vaccine, to prepare for, or as a response

10200SB3865ham002- 198 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1to, a threatened or potential bioterrorist incident to the
2employee as part of a voluntary inoculation program in
3connection with the person's employment or in connection with
4any governmental program or recommendation for the inoculation
5of workers in the employee's occupation, geographical area, or
6other category that includes the employee is deemed to arise
7out of and in the course of the employment for all purposes
8under this Act. This paragraph added by Public Act 93-829 is
9declarative of existing law and is not a new enactment.
10 The employer liable for the compensation in this Act
11provided shall be the employer in whose employment the
12employee was last exposed to the hazard of the occupational
13disease claimed upon regardless of the length of time of such
14last exposure, except, in cases of silicosis or asbestosis,
15the only employer liable shall be the last employer in whose
16employment the employee was last exposed during a period of 60
17days or more after the effective date of this Act, to the
18hazard of such occupational disease, and, in such cases, an
19exposure during a period of less than 60 days, after the
20effective date of this Act, shall not be deemed a last
21exposure. If a miner who is suffering or suffered from
22pneumoconiosis was employed for 10 years or more in one or more
23coal mines there shall, effective July 1, 1973 be a rebuttable
24presumption that his or her pneumoconiosis arose out of such
25employment.
26 If a deceased miner was employed for 10 years or more in

10200SB3865ham002- 199 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1one or more coal mines and died from a respirable disease there
2shall, effective July 1, 1973, be a rebuttable presumption
3that his or her death was due to pneumoconiosis.
4 Any condition or impairment of health of an employee
5employed as a firefighter, emergency medical technician (EMT),
6emergency medical technician-intermediate (EMT-I), advanced
7emergency medical technician (A-EMT), or paramedic which
8results directly or indirectly from any bloodborne pathogen,
9lung or respiratory disease or condition, heart or vascular
10disease or condition, hypertension, tuberculosis, or cancer
11resulting in any disability (temporary, permanent, total, or
12partial) to the employee shall be rebuttably presumed to arise
13out of and in the course of the employee's firefighting, EMT,
14EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic employment and, further, shall be
15rebuttably presumed to be causally connected to the hazards or
16exposures of the employment. This presumption shall also apply
17to any hernia or hearing loss suffered by an employee employed
18as a firefighter, EMT, EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic. However,
19this presumption shall not apply to any employee who has been
20employed as a firefighter, EMT, EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic for
21less than 5 years at the time he or she files an Application
22for Adjustment of Claim concerning this condition or
23impairment with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission.
24The rebuttable presumption established under this subsection,
25however, does not apply to an emergency medical technician
26(EMT), emergency medical technician-intermediate (EMT-I),

10200SB3865ham002- 200 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1advanced emergency medical technician (A-EMT), or paramedic
2employed by a private employer if the employee spends the
3preponderance of his or her work time for that employer
4engaged in medical transfers between medical care facilities
5or non-emergency medical transfers to or from medical care
6facilities. The changes made to this subsection by this
7amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly shall be narrowly
8construed. The Finding and Decision of the Illinois Workers'
9Compensation Commission under only the rebuttable presumption
10provision of this paragraph shall not be admissible or be
11deemed res judicata in any disability claim under the Illinois
12Pension Code arising out of the same medical condition;
13however, this sentence makes no change to the law set forth in
14Krohe v. City of Bloomington, 204 Ill.2d 392.
15 The insurance carrier liable shall be the carrier whose
16policy was in effect covering the employer liable on the last
17day of the exposure rendering such employer liable in
18accordance with the provisions of this Act.
19 (e) "Disablement" means an impairment or partial
20impairment, temporary or permanent, in the function of the
21body or any of the members of the body, or the event of
22becoming disabled from earning full wages at the work in which
23the employee was engaged when last exposed to the hazards of
24the occupational disease by the employer from whom he or she
25claims compensation, or equal wages in other suitable
26employment; and "disability" means the state of being so

10200SB3865ham002- 201 -LRB102 24242 HLH 38406 a
1incapacitated.
2 (f) No compensation shall be payable for or on account of
3any occupational disease unless disablement, as herein
4defined, occurs within two years after the last day of the last
5exposure to the hazards of the disease, except in cases of
6occupational disease caused by berylliosis or by the
7inhalation of silica dust or asbestos dust and, in such cases,
8within 3 years after the last day of the last exposure to the
9hazards of such disease and except in the case of occupational
10disease caused by exposure to radiological materials or
11equipment, and in such case, within 25 years after the last day
12of last exposure to the hazards of such disease.
13 (g)(1) In any proceeding before the Commission in which
14the employee is a COVID-19 first responder or front-line
15worker as defined in this subsection, if the employee's injury
16or occupational disease resulted from exposure to and
17contraction of COVID-19, the exposure and contraction shall be
18rebuttably presumed to have arisen out of and in the course of
19the employee's first responder or front-line worker employment
20and the injury or occupational disease shall be rebuttably
21presumed to be causally connected to the hazards or exposures
22of the employee's first responder or front-line worker
23employment.
24 (2) The term "COVID-19 first responder or front-line
25worker" means: all individuals employed as police, fire
26personnel, emergency medical technicians, or paramedics; all

20 disease, or period of incapacity resulted from exposure to
21 COVID-19; or
22 (B) the employer was engaging in and applying to the
23 fullest extent possible or enforcing to the best of its

3 engineering controls, or personal protective equipment to
4 reduce the transmission of COVID-19 to all employees for
5 at least 14 consecutive days prior to the employee's
6 injury, occupational disease, or period of incapacity

17 items such as face coverings, gloves, safety glasses,
18 safety face shields, barriers, shoes, earplugs or muffs,
19 hard hats, respirators, coveralls, vests, and full body
