13 meaning of item (i)) or to whom customer
14 receivables originated by a member of the
15 affiliated group have been transferred, to the
16 extent the average outstanding balance of
17 loans from that corporation to members of its
18 affiliated group during the taxable year do
19 not exceed the limitation amount for that

21 corporation is the average outstanding
22 balances during the taxable year of customer
23 receivables (within the meaning of item (i))
24 originated by all members of the affiliated
25 group. If the average outstanding balances of
26 the loans made by a corporation to members of

HB5004 Engrossed- 22 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 its affiliated group exceed the limitation
2 amount, the interest income of that
3 corporation from qualifying loans shall be
4 equal to its interest income from loans to
5 members of its affiliated groups times a
6 fraction equal to the limitation amount
7 divided by the average outstanding balances of
8 the loans made by that corporation to members
9 of its affiliated group;
10 (c) the total of all shareholder's equity
11 (including, without limitation, paid-in
12 capital on common and preferred stock and
13 retained earnings) of the corporation plus the
14 total of all of its loans, advances, and other
15 obligations payable or owed to members of its
16 affiliated group may not exceed 20% of the
17 total assets of the corporation at any time
18 during the tax year; and
19 (d) more than 50% of all interest-bearing
20 obligations of the affiliated group payable to
21 persons outside the group determined in
22 accordance with generally accepted accounting
23 principles must be obligations of the
24 corporation.
25 This amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly
26 is declaratory of existing law.

HB5004 Engrossed- 23 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 (D) Subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph
2 are declaratory of existing law and apply
3 retroactively, for all tax years beginning on or
4 before December 31, 1996, to all original returns, to
5 all amended returns filed no later than 30 days after
6 the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1996, and
7 to all notices issued on or before the effective date
8 of this amendatory Act of 1996 under subsection (a) of
9 Section 903, subsection (a) of Section 904, subsection
10 (e) of Section 909, or Section 912. A taxpayer that is
11 a "financial organization" that engages in any
12 transaction with an affiliate shall be a "financial
13 organization" for all purposes of this Act.
14 (E) For all tax years beginning on or before
15 December 31, 1996, a taxpayer that falls within the
16 definition of a "financial organization" under
17 subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph, but who
18 does not fall within the definition of a "financial
19 organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
20 the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may
21 irrevocably elect to apply the Proposed Regulations
22 for all of those years as though the Proposed
23 Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted,
24 and in effect for all of those years. For purposes of
25 applying subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph to
26 all of those years, the election allowed by this

HB5004 Engrossed- 24 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 subparagraph applies only to the taxpayer making the
2 election and to those members of the taxpayer's
3 unitary business group who are ordinarily required to
4 apportion business income under the same subsection of
5 Section 304 of this Act as the taxpayer making the
6 election. No election allowed by this subparagraph
7 shall be made under a claim filed under subsection (d)
8 of Section 909 more than 30 days after the effective
9 date of this amendatory Act of 1996.
10 (F) Finance Leases. For purposes of this
11 subsection, a finance lease shall be treated as a loan
12 or other extension of credit, rather than as a lease,
13 regardless of how the transaction is characterized for
14 any other purpose, including the purposes of any
15 regulatory agency to which the lessor is subject. A
16 finance lease is any transaction in the form of a lease

1 will not include those members whose business activity
2 outside the United States is 80% or more of any such
3 member's total business activity; for purposes of this
4 paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304,
5 business activity within the United States shall be
6 measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
7 under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of
8 Section 304 except that, in the case of members
9 ordinarily required to apportion business income by
10 means of the 3 factor formula of property, payroll and
11 sales specified in subsection (a) of Section 304,
12 including the formula as weighted in subsection (h) of
13 Section 304, such members shall not use the sales
14 factor in the computation and the results of the
15 property and payroll factor computations of subsection
16 (a) of Section 304 shall be divided by 2 (by one if
17 either the property or payroll factor has a
18 denominator of zero). The computation required by the
19 preceding sentence shall, in each case, involve the
20 division of the member's property, payroll, or revenue
21 miles in the United States, insurance premiums on
22 property or risk in the United States, or financial
23 organization business income from sources within the
24 United States, as the case may be, by the respective
25 worldwide figures for such items. Common ownership in
26 the case of corporations is the direct or indirect

HB5004 Engrossed- 34 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 control or ownership of more than 50% of the
2 outstanding voting stock of the persons carrying on
3 unitary business activity. Unitary business activity
4 can ordinarily be illustrated where the activities of
5 the members are: (1) in the same general line (such as
6 manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing of tangible
7 personal property, insurance, transportation or
8 finance); or (2) are steps in a vertically structured
9 enterprise or process (such as the steps involved in
10 the production of natural resources, which might
11 include exploration, mining, refining, and marketing);
12 and, in either instance, the members are functionally
13 integrated through the exercise of strong centralized
14 management (where, for example, authority over such
15 matters as purchasing, financing, tax compliance,
16 product line, personnel, marketing and capital
17 investment is not left to each member).
18 (B) In no event, for taxable years ending prior to
19 December 31, 2017, shall any unitary business group
20 include members which are ordinarily required to
21 apportion business income under different subsections
22 of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or
23 after December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not
24 apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a
25 member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that
26 apportion business income under any of subsections

HB5004 Engrossed- 35 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 (b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary
2 business group would, but for the preceding sentence,
3 include members that are ordinarily required to
4 apportion business income under different subsections
5 of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section
6 304 for which there are two or more members, there
7 shall be a separate unitary business group composed of
8 such members. For purposes of the preceding two
9 sentences, a member is "ordinarily required to
10 apportion business income" under a particular
11 subsection of Section 304 if it would be required to
12 use the apportionment method prescribed by such
13 subsection except for the fact that it derives
14 business income solely from Illinois. As used in this
15 paragraph, for taxable years ending before December
16 31, 2017, the phrase "United States" means only the 50
17 states and the District of Columbia, but does not
18 include any territory or possession of the United
19 States or any area over which the United States has
20 asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights with
21 respect to the exploration for or exploitation of
22 natural resources. For taxable years ending on or
23 after December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States",
24 as used in this paragraph, means only the 50 states,
25 the District of Columbia, and any area over which the
26 United States has asserted jurisdiction or claimed

HB5004 Engrossed- 36 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 exclusive rights with respect to the exploration for
2 or exploitation of natural resources, but does not
3 include any territory or possession of the United
4 States.
5 (C) Holding companies.
6 (i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a
7 "holding company" is a corporation (other than a
8 corporation that is a financial organization under
9 paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section
10 1501 because it is a bank holding company under
11 the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of
12 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.) or because it is
13 owned by a bank or a bank holding company) that
14 owns a controlling interest in one or more other
15 taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during
16 the period that includes the taxable year and the
17 2 immediately preceding taxable years or, if the
18 corporation was formed during the current or
19 immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable
20 years in which the corporation has been in
21 existence, derived substantially all its gross
22 income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties,
23 fees or other charges received from controlled
24 taxpayers for the provision of services, and gains
25 on the sale or other disposition of interests in
26 controlled taxpayers or in property leased or

HB5004 Engrossed- 37 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the
2 taxpayer in providing services to controlled
3 taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses
4 other than expenses (including interest and other
5 costs of borrowing) incurred in connection with
6 the acquisition and holding of interests in
7 controlled taxpayers and in the provision of
8 services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing
9 or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
10 (ii) The income of a holding company which is
11 a member of more than one unitary business group
12 shall be included in each unitary business group
13 of which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
14 including in each unitary business group that
15 portion of the base income of the holding company
16 that bears the same proportion to the total base
17 income of the holding company as the gross
18 receipts of the unitary business group bears to
19 the combined gross receipts of all unitary
20 business groups (in both cases without regard to
21 the holding company) or on any other reasonable
22 basis, consistently applied.
23 (iii) A holding company shall apportion its
24 business income under the subsection of Section
25 304 used by the other members of its unitary
26 business group. The apportionment factors of a

HB5004 Engrossed- 38 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 holding company which would be a member of more
2 than one unitary business group shall be included
3 with the apportionment factors of each unitary
4 business group of which it is a member on a pro
5 rata basis using the same method used in clause
6 (ii).
7 (iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C)
8 are intended to clarify existing law.
9 (D) If including the base income and factors of a
10 holding company in more than one unitary business
11 group under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect
12 the degree of integration between the holding company
13 and one or more of the unitary business groups, the
14 dependence of the holding company and one or more of
15 the unitary business groups upon each other, or the
16 contributions between the holding company and one or
17 more of the unitary business groups, the holding
18 company may petition the Director, under the
19 procedures provided under Section 304(f), for
20 permission to include all base income and factors of
21 the holding company only with members of a unitary
22 business group apportioning their business income
23 under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or
24 (d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the
25 holding company shall be included in a unitary
26 business group only with persons apportioning their

HB5004 Engrossed- 39 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 business income under the selected subsection of
2 Section 304 until the Director grants a petition of
3 the holding company either to be included in more than
4 one unitary business group under subparagraph (C) or
5 to include its base income and factors only with
6 members of a unitary business group apportioning their
7 business income under a different subsection of
8 Section 304.
9 (E) If the unitary business group members'
10 accounting periods differ, the common parent's
11 accounting period or, if there is no common parent,
12 the accounting period of the member that is expected
13 to have, on a recurring basis, the greatest Illinois
14 income tax liability must be used to determine whether
15 to use the apportionment method provided in subsection
16 (a) or subsection (h) of Section 304. The prohibition
17 against membership in a unitary business group for
18 taxpayers ordinarily required to apportion income
19 under different subsections of Section 304 does not
20 apply to taxpayers required to apportion income under
21 subsection (a) and subsection (h) of Section 304. The
22 provisions of this amendatory Act of 1998 apply to tax
23 years ending on or after December 31, 1998.
24 (28) Subchapter S corporation. The term "Subchapter S
25 corporation" means a corporation for which there is in
26 effect an election under Section 1362 of the Internal

HB5004 Engrossed- 40 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 Revenue Code, or for which there is a federal election to
2 opt out of the provisions of the Subchapter S Revision Act
3 of 1982 and have applied instead the prior federal
4 Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982.
5 (30) Foreign person. The term "foreign person" means
6 any person who is a nonresident individual who is a
7 national or citizen of a country other than the United
8 States alien individual and any nonindividual entity,
9 regardless of where created or organized, whose business
10 activity outside the United States is 80% or more of the
11 entity's total business activity.
12 (b) Other definitions.
13 (1) Words denoting number, gender, and so forth, when
14 used in this Act, where not otherwise distinctly expressed
15 or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof:
16 (A) Words importing the singular include and apply
17 to several persons, parties or things;
18 (B) Words importing the plural include the
19 singular; and
20 (C) Words importing the masculine gender include
21 the feminine as well.

23 and assigns. The word "company" or "association", when
24 used in reference to a corporation, shall be deemed to
25 embrace the words "successors and assigns of such company

HB5004 Engrossed- 41 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 or association", and in like manner as if these last-named
2 words, or words of similar import, were expressed.
3 (3) Other terms. Any term used in any Section of this
4 Act with respect to the application of, or in connection

17 No rule or regulation promulgated by the State Board of
18Education prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act
19of 1993 pursuant to the exercise of any right, power, duty,
20responsibility or matter of pending business transferred from
21the State Board of Education to the Commission under this
22Section shall be affected thereby, and all such rules and
23regulations shall become the rules and regulations of the
24Commission until modified or changed by the Commission in
25accordance with law.
26 If in any year the number of qualified applicants exceeds

HB5004 Engrossed- 55 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b

22 Sec. 65.110. Post-Master of Social Work School Social Work
23Professional Educator License scholarship.
24 (a) Subject to appropriation, beginning with awards for
25the 2022-2023 academic year, the Commission shall award

HB5004 Engrossed- 58 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1annually up to 250 Post-Master of Social Work School Social
2Work Professional Educator License scholarships to a person
3who:
4 (1) holds a valid Illinois-licensed clinical social
5 work license or social work license;
6 (2) has obtained a master's degree in social work from
7 an approved program;
8 (3) is a United States citizen or eligible noncitizen;
9 and
10 (4) submits an application to the Commission for such
11 scholarship and agrees to take courses to obtain an
12 Illinois Professional Educator License with an endorsement
13 in School Social Work.
14 (b) If an appropriation for this Section for a given
15fiscal year is insufficient to provide scholarships to all
16qualified applicants, the Commission shall allocate the
17appropriation in accordance with this subsection (b). If funds
18are insufficient to provide all qualified applicants with a
19scholarship as authorized by this Section, the Commission
20shall allocate the available scholarship funds for that fiscal
21year to qualified applicants who submit a complete application
22on or before a date specified by the Commission, based on the
23following order of priority:
24 (1) firstly, to students who received a scholarship
25 under this Section in the prior academic year and who
26 remain eligible for a scholarship under this Section;

HB5004 Engrossed- 59 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 (2) secondly, to new, qualified applicants who are
2 members of a racial minority, as defined in subsection
3 (c); and
4 (3) finally, to other new, qualified applicants in
5 accordance with this Section.
6 (c) Scholarships awarded under this Section shall be
7issued pursuant to rules adopted by the Commission. In
8awarding scholarships, the Commission shall give priority to
9those applicants who are members of a racial minority. Racial
10minorities are underrepresented as school social workers in
11elementary and secondary schools in this State, and the
12General Assembly finds that it is in the interest of this State
13to provide them with priority consideration for programs that
14encourage their participation in this field and thereby foster
15a profession that is more reflective of the diversity of
16Illinois students and the parents they will serve. A more
17reflective workforce in school social work allows improved
18outcomes for students and a better utilization of services.
19Therefore, the Commission shall give priority to those
20applicants who are members of a racial minority. In this
21subsection (c), "racial minority" means a person who is a
22citizen of the United States or a lawful permanent resident
23alien of the United States and who is:
24 (1) Black (a person having origins in any of the black
25 racial groups in Africa);
26 (2) Hispanic (a person of Spanish or Portuguese

HB5004 Engrossed- 60 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 culture with origins in Mexico, South or Central America,
2 or the Caribbean Islands, regardless of race);
3 (3) Asian American (a person having origins in any of
4 the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the
5 Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); or
6 (4) American Indian or Alaskan Native (a person having
7 origins in any of the original peoples of North America).
8 (d) Each scholarship shall be applied to the payment of
9tuition and mandatory fees at the University of Illinois,
10Southern Illinois University, Chicago State University,
11Eastern Illinois University, Governors State University,
12Illinois State University, Northeastern Illinois University,
13Northern Illinois University, and Western Illinois University.
14Each scholarship may be applied to pay tuition and mandatory

10Injury Fund, the General Revenue Fund, and the Workers'
11Compensation Benefit Trust Fund to the Rate Adjustment Fund to
12the extent that there is insufficient money in the Rate
13Adjustment Fund to pay claims and obligations. Amounts may be
14transferred from the General Revenue Fund only if the funds in
15the Second Injury Fund or the Workers' Compensation Benefit
16Trust Fund are insufficient to pay claims and obligations of
17the Rate Adjustment Fund. All amounts transferred from the
18Second Injury Fund, the General Revenue Fund, and the Workers'

23 Upon a finding by the Commission, after reasonable notice
24and hearing, that any employer has willfully and knowingly
25failed to pay the proper amounts into the Second Injury Fund or
26the Rate Adjustment Fund required by this Section or if such

HB5004 Engrossed- 193 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1payments are not made within the time periods prescribed by
2this Section, the employer shall, in addition to such
3payments, pay a penalty of 20% of the amount required to be
4paid or $2,500, whichever is greater, for each year or part
5thereof of such failure to pay. This penalty shall only apply
6to obligations of an employer to the Second Injury Fund or the
7Rate Adjustment Fund accruing after the effective date of this
8amendatory Act of 1989. All or part of such a penalty may be
9waived by the Commission for good cause shown.

11and Rate Adjustment Fund accruing prior to the effective date
12of this amendatory Act of 1989 shall be paid in full by such

14amendatory Act of 1989, with at least one-fifth of such
15obligation to be paid during each year following the effective
16date of this amendatory Act of 1989. If the Commission finds,
17following reasonable notice and hearing, that an employer has
18failed to make timely payment of any obligation accruing under
19the preceding sentence, the employer shall, in addition to all
20other payments required by this Section, be liable for a
21penalty equal to 20% of the overdue obligation or $2,500,
22whichever is greater, for each year or part thereof that
23obligation is overdue. All or part of such a penalty may be
24waived by the Commission for good cause shown.
25 The Chairman of the Illinois Workers' Compensation
26Commission shall, annually, furnish to the Director of the

HB5004 Engrossed- 194 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1Department of Insurance a list of the amounts paid into the
2Second Injury Fund and the Rate Adjustment Fund by each
3insurance company on behalf of their insured employers. The
4Director shall verify to the Chairman that the amounts paid by
5each insurance company are accurate as best as the Director
6can determine from the records available to the Director. The
7Chairman shall verify that the amounts paid by each
8self-insurer are accurate as best as the Chairman can
9determine from records available to the Chairman. The Chairman
10may require each self-insurer to provide information
11concerning the total compensation payments made upon which
12contributions to the Second Injury Fund and the Rate
13Adjustment Fund are predicated and any additional information
14establishing that such payments have been made into these
15funds. Any deficiencies in payments noted by the Director or
16Chairman shall be subject to the penalty provisions of this
17Act.
18 The State Treasurer, or his duly authorized
19representative, shall be named as a party to all proceedings
20in all cases involving claim for the loss of, or the permanent
21and complete loss of the use of one eye, one foot, one leg, one
22arm or one hand.
23 The State Treasurer or his duly authorized agent shall
24have the same rights as any other party to the proceeding,
25including the right to petition for review of any award. The
26reasonable expenses of litigation, such as medical

HB5004 Engrossed- 195 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1examinations, testimony, and transcript of evidence, incurred
2by the State Treasurer or his duly authorized representative,
3shall be borne by the Second Injury Fund.
4 If the award is not paid within 30 days after the date the
5award has become final, the Commission shall proceed to take
6judgment thereon in its own name as is provided for other
7awards by paragraph (g) of Section 19 of this Act and take the
8necessary steps to collect the award.
9 Any person, corporation or organization who has paid or
10become liable for the payment of burial expenses of the
11deceased employee may in his or its own name institute
12proceedings before the Commission for the collection thereof.
13 For the purpose of administration, receipts and
14disbursements, the Special Fund provided for in paragraph (f)
15of this Section shall be administered jointly with the Special
16Fund provided for in Section 7, paragraph (f) of the Workers'
17Occupational Diseases Act.
18 (g) All compensation, except for burial expenses provided
19in this Section to be paid in case accident results in death,
20shall be paid in installments equal to the percentage of the
21average earnings as provided for in Section 8, paragraph (b)
22of this Act, at the same intervals at which the wages or
23earnings of the employees were paid. If this is not feasible,
24then the installments shall be paid weekly. Such compensation
25may be paid in a lump sum upon petition as provided in Section
269 of this Act. However, in addition to the benefits provided by

HB5004 Engrossed- 196 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1Section 9 of this Act where compensation for death is payable
2to the deceased's widow, widower or to the deceased's widow,
3widower and one or more children, and where a partial lump sum
4is applied for by such beneficiary or beneficiaries within 18
5months after the deceased's death, the Commission may, in its
6discretion, grant a partial lump sum of not to exceed 100 weeks
7of the compensation capitalized at their present value upon
8the basis of interest calculated at 3% per annum with annual
9rests, upon a showing that such partial lump sum is for the
10best interest of such beneficiary or beneficiaries.
11 (h) In case the injured employee is under 16 years of age
12at the time of the accident and is illegally employed, the
13amount of compensation payable under paragraphs (a), (b), (c),
14(d) and (f) of this Section shall be increased 50%.
15 Nothing herein contained repeals or amends the provisions
16of the Child Labor Law relating to the employment of minors
17under the age of 16 years.
18 However, where an employer has on file an employment
19certificate issued pursuant to the Child Labor Law or work
20permit issued pursuant to the Federal Fair Labor Standards
21Act, as amended, or a birth certificate properly and duly
22issued, such certificate, permit or birth certificate is
23conclusive evidence as to the age of the injured minor
24employee for the purposes of this Section only.
25 (i) Whenever the dependents of a deceased employee are
26noncitizens aliens not residing in the United States, Mexico

HB5004 Engrossed- 197 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1or Canada, the amount of compensation payable is limited to
2the beneficiaries described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of
3this Section and is 50% of the compensation provided in
4paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, except as
5otherwise provided by treaty.
6 In a case where any of the persons who would be entitled to
7compensation is living at any place outside of the United
8States, then payment shall be made to the personal
9representative of the deceased employee. The distribution by
10such personal representative to the persons entitled shall be
11made to such persons and in such manner as the Commission
12orders.

15 Section 150. The Workers' Occupational Diseases Act is
16amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
17 (820 ILCS 310/1) (from Ch. 48, par. 172.36)
18 Sec. 1. This Act shall be known and may be cited as the
19"Workers' Occupational Diseases Act".
20 (a) The term "employer" as used in this Act shall be
21construed to be:
22 1. The State and each county, city, town, township,
23 incorporated village, school district, body politic, or
24 municipal corporation therein.

HB5004 Engrossed- 198 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 2. Every person, firm, public or private corporation,
2 including hospitals, public service, eleemosynary,
3 religious or charitable corporations or associations, who
4 has any person in service or under any contract for hire,
5 express or implied, oral or written.
6 3. Where an employer operating under and subject to
7 the provisions of this Act loans an employee to another
8 such employer and such loaned employee sustains a
9 compensable occupational disease in the employment of such
10 borrowing employer and where such borrowing employer does
11 not provide or pay the benefits or payments due such
12 employee, such loaning employer shall be liable to provide
13 or pay all benefits or payments due such employee under
14 this Act and as to such employee the liability of such
15 loaning and borrowing employers shall be joint and
16 several, provided that such loaning employer shall in the
17 absence of agreement to the contrary be entitled to
18 receive from such borrowing employer full reimbursement
19 for all sums paid or incurred pursuant to this paragraph
20 together with reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in
21 any hearings before the Illinois Workers' Compensation
22 Commission or in any action to secure such reimbursement.
23 Where any benefit is provided or paid by such loaning
24 employer, the employee shall have the duty of rendering
25 reasonable co-operation in any hearings, trials or
26 proceedings in the case, including such proceedings for

HB5004 Engrossed- 199 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 reimbursement.
2 Where an employee files an Application for Adjustment
3 of Claim with the Illinois Workers' Compensation
4 Commission alleging that his or her claim is covered by
5 the provisions of the preceding paragraph, and joining
6 both the alleged loaning and borrowing employers, they and
7 each of them, upon written demand by the employee and
8 within 7 days after receipt of such demand, shall have the
9 duty of filing with the Illinois Workers' Compensation
10 Commission a written admission or denial of the allegation
11 that the claim is covered by the provisions of the
12 preceding paragraph and in default of such filing or if
13 any such denial be ultimately determined not to have been
14 bona fide then the provisions of Paragraph K of Section 19
15 of this Act shall apply.
16 An employer whose business or enterprise or a
17 substantial part thereof consists of hiring, procuring or
18 furnishing employees to or for other employers operating
19 under and subject to the provisions of this Act for the
20 performance of the work of such other employers and who
21 pays such employees their salary or wage notwithstanding
22 that they are doing the work of such other employers shall
23 be deemed a loaning employer within the meaning and
24 provisions of this Section.
25 (b) The term "employee" as used in this Act, shall be
26construed to mean:

HB5004 Engrossed- 200 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 1. Every person in the service of the State, county,
2 city, town, township, incorporated village or school
3 district, body politic or municipal corporation therein,
4 whether by election, appointment or contract of hire,
5 express or implied, oral or written, including any
6 official of the State, or of any county, city, town,
7 township, incorporated village, school district, body
8 politic or municipal corporation therein and except any
9 duly appointed member of the fire department in any city
10 whose population exceeds 500,000 according to the last
11 Federal or State census, and except any member of a fire
12 insurance patrol maintained by a board of underwriters in
13 this State. One employed by a contractor who has
14 contracted with the State, or a county, city, town,
15 township, incorporated village, school district, body
16 politic or municipal corporation therein, through its
17 representatives, shall not be considered as an employee of
18 the State, county, city, town, township, incorporated
19 village, school district, body politic or municipal
20 corporation which made the contract.
21 2. Every person in the service of another under any
22 contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, who
23 contracts an occupational disease while working in the
24 State of Illinois, or who contracts an occupational
25 disease while working outside of the State of Illinois but
26 where the contract of hire is made within the State of

HB5004 Engrossed- 201 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1 Illinois, and any person whose employment is principally
2 localized within the State of Illinois, regardless of the
3 place where the disease was contracted or place where the
4 contract of hire was made, including noncitizens aliens,
5 and minors who, for the purpose of this Act, except
6 Section 3 hereof, shall be considered the same and have
7 the same power to contract, receive payments and give
8 quittances therefor, as adult employees. An employee or
9 his or her dependents under this Act who shall have a cause
10 of action by reason of an occupational disease,
11 disablement or death arising out of and in the course of
12 his or her employment may elect or pursue his or her remedy
13 in the State where the disease was contracted, or in the
14 State where the contract of hire is made, or in the State
15 where the employment is principally localized.
16 (c) "Commission" means the Illinois Workers' Compensation
17Commission created by the Workers' Compensation Act, approved
18July 9, 1951, as amended.
19 (d) In this Act the term "Occupational Disease" means a
20disease arising out of and in the course of the employment or
21which has become aggravated and rendered disabling as a result
22of the exposure of the employment. Such aggravation shall
23arise out of a risk peculiar to or increased by the employment
24and not common to the general public.
25 A disease shall be deemed to arise out of the employment if
26there is apparent to the rational mind, upon consideration of

HB5004 Engrossed- 202 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1all the circumstances, a causal connection between the
2conditions under which the work is performed and the
3occupational disease. The disease need not to have been
4foreseen or expected but after its contraction it must appear
5to have had its origin or aggravation in a risk connected with
6the employment and to have flowed from that source as a
7rational consequence.
8 An employee shall be conclusively deemed to have been
9exposed to the hazards of an occupational disease when, for
10any length of time however short, he or she is employed in an
11occupation or process in which the hazard of the disease
12exists; provided however, that in a claim of exposure to
13atomic radiation, the fact of such exposure must be verified
14by the records of the central registry of radiation exposure
15maintained by the Department of Public Health or by some other
16recognized governmental agency maintaining records of such
17exposures whenever and to the extent that the records are on
18file with the Department of Public Health or the agency.
19 Any injury to or disease or death of an employee arising
20from the administration of a vaccine, including without
21limitation smallpox vaccine, to prepare for, or as a response
22to, a threatened or potential bioterrorist incident to the
23employee as part of a voluntary inoculation program in
24connection with the person's employment or in connection with
25any governmental program or recommendation for the inoculation
26of workers in the employee's occupation, geographical area, or

HB5004 Engrossed- 203 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1other category that includes the employee is deemed to arise
2out of and in the course of the employment for all purposes
3under this Act. This paragraph added by Public Act 93-829 is
4declarative of existing law and is not a new enactment.
5 The employer liable for the compensation in this Act
6provided shall be the employer in whose employment the
7employee was last exposed to the hazard of the occupational
8disease claimed upon regardless of the length of time of such
9last exposure, except, in cases of silicosis or asbestosis,
10the only employer liable shall be the last employer in whose
11employment the employee was last exposed during a period of 60
12days or more after the effective date of this Act, to the
13hazard of such occupational disease, and, in such cases, an
14exposure during a period of less than 60 days, after the
15effective date of this Act, shall not be deemed a last
16exposure. If a miner who is suffering or suffered from
17pneumoconiosis was employed for 10 years or more in one or more
18coal mines there shall, effective July 1, 1973 be a rebuttable
19presumption that his or her pneumoconiosis arose out of such
20employment.
21 If a deceased miner was employed for 10 years or more in
22one or more coal mines and died from a respirable disease there
23shall, effective July 1, 1973, be a rebuttable presumption
24that his or her death was due to pneumoconiosis.
25 Any condition or impairment of health of an employee
26employed as a firefighter, emergency medical technician (EMT),

HB5004 Engrossed- 204 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1emergency medical technician-intermediate (EMT-I), advanced
2emergency medical technician (A-EMT), or paramedic which
3results directly or indirectly from any bloodborne pathogen,
4lung or respiratory disease or condition, heart or vascular
5disease or condition, hypertension, tuberculosis, or cancer
6resulting in any disability (temporary, permanent, total, or
7partial) to the employee shall be rebuttably presumed to arise
8out of and in the course of the employee's firefighting, EMT,
9EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic employment and, further, shall be
10rebuttably presumed to be causally connected to the hazards or
11exposures of the employment. This presumption shall also apply
12to any hernia or hearing loss suffered by an employee employed
13as a firefighter, EMT, EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic. However,
14this presumption shall not apply to any employee who has been
15employed as a firefighter, EMT, EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic for
16less than 5 years at the time he or she files an Application
17for Adjustment of Claim concerning this condition or
18impairment with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission.
19The rebuttable presumption established under this subsection,
20however, does not apply to an emergency medical technician
21(EMT), emergency medical technician-intermediate (EMT-I),
22advanced emergency medical technician (A-EMT), or paramedic
23employed by a private employer if the employee spends the
24preponderance of his or her work time for that employer
25engaged in medical transfers between medical care facilities
26or non-emergency medical transfers to or from medical care

HB5004 Engrossed- 205 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1facilities. The changes made to this subsection by this
2amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly shall be narrowly
3construed. The Finding and Decision of the Illinois Workers'
4Compensation Commission under only the rebuttable presumption
5provision of this paragraph shall not be admissible or be
6deemed res judicata in any disability claim under the Illinois
7Pension Code arising out of the same medical condition;
8however, this sentence makes no change to the law set forth in
9Krohe v. City of Bloomington, 204 Ill.2d 392.
10 The insurance carrier liable shall be the carrier whose
11policy was in effect covering the employer liable on the last
12day of the exposure rendering such employer liable in
13accordance with the provisions of this Act.
14 (e) "Disablement" means an impairment or partial
15impairment, temporary or permanent, in the function of the
16body or any of the members of the body, or the event of
17becoming disabled from earning full wages at the work in which
18the employee was engaged when last exposed to the hazards of
19the occupational disease by the employer from whom he or she
20claims compensation, or equal wages in other suitable
21employment; and "disability" means the state of being so
22incapacitated.
23 (f) No compensation shall be payable for or on account of
24any occupational disease unless disablement, as herein
25defined, occurs within two years after the last day of the last
26exposure to the hazards of the disease, except in cases of

HB5004 Engrossed- 206 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1occupational disease caused by berylliosis or by the
2inhalation of silica dust or asbestos dust and, in such cases,
3within 3 years after the last day of the last exposure to the
4hazards of such disease and except in the case of occupational
5disease caused by exposure to radiological materials or
6equipment, and in such case, within 25 years after the last day
7of last exposure to the hazards of such disease.
8 (g)(1) In any proceeding before the Commission in which
9the employee is a COVID-19 first responder or front-line
10worker as defined in this subsection, if the employee's injury
11or occupational disease resulted from exposure to and
12contraction of COVID-19, the exposure and contraction shall be
13rebuttably presumed to have arisen out of and in the course of
14the employee's first responder or front-line worker employment
15and the injury or occupational disease shall be rebuttably
16presumed to be causally connected to the hazards or exposures
17of the employee's first responder or front-line worker
18employment.
19 (2) The term "COVID-19 first responder or front-line
20worker" means: all individuals employed as police, fire
21personnel, emergency medical technicians, or paramedics; all
22individuals employed and considered as first responders; all
23workers for health care providers, including nursing homes and
24rehabilitation facilities and home care workers; corrections
25officers; and any individuals employed by essential businesses
26and operations as defined in Executive Order 2020-10 dated

HB5004 Engrossed- 207 -LRB102 23330 RJF 32496 b
1March 20, 2020, as long as individuals employed by essential
2businesses and operations are required by their employment to
3encounter members of the general public or to work in
4employment locations of more than 15 employees. For purposes
5of this subsection only, an employee's home or place of
6residence is not a place of employment, except for home care
7workers.
8 (3) The presumption created in this subsection may be
9rebutted by evidence, including, but not limited to, the
10following:
11 (A) the employee was working from his or her home, on
12 leave from his or her employment, or some combination
13 thereof, for a period of 14 or more consecutive days
14 immediately prior to the employee's injury, occupational
15 disease, or period of incapacity resulted from exposure to
16 COVID-19; or
17 (B) the employer was engaging in and applying to the
18 fullest extent possible or enforcing to the best of its
19 ability industry-specific workplace sanitation, social
20 distancing, and health and safety practices based on
21 updated guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control
