require the | ||||||
7 | applicant to furnish two forms of identification, and except in | ||||||

demonstrated by a piece of mail | ||||||
18 | addressed to that individual and received at

| ||||||
20 | address. The registration officer shall require each applicant | ||||||
21 | for
registration to read or have read to him the affidavit of | ||||||
22 | registration
before permitting him to execute the affidavit.
| ||||||
23 | One of the registration officers or a deputy registration | ||||||
24 | officer,

6 | and vote under the laws of the State
of Illinois."
| ||||||
7 | The registration officer shall satisfy himself that each | ||||||
8 | applicant
for registration is qualified to register before | ||||||
9 | registering him. If the
registration officer has reason to | ||||||
10 | believe that the applicant is a resident
of a Soldiers' and | ||||||
11 | Sailors' Home or any facility which is licensed or certified
| ||||||
12 | pursuant to the Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized Mental | ||||||
13 | Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, or the ID/DD Community Care | ||||||
14 | Act, the following question shall be put,

village or incorporated town in which such | ||||||
18 | applicant resides, shall be
permitted to be present at the | ||||||
19 | place of any precinct registration and shall
have the right to | ||||||
20 | challenge any applicant who applies to be registered.
| ||||||
21 | In case the officer is not satisfied that the applicant is | ||||||
22 | qualified
he shall forthwith notify such applicant in writing | ||||||
23 | to appear before the
county clerk to complete his registration. | ||||||
24 | Upon the card of such
applicant shall be written the word | ||||||
25 | "incomplete" and no such applicant

26 | unless such registration is satisfactorily
completed as |

| |||||||
1 | hereinafter provided. No registration shall be taken and
marked | ||||||
2 | as incomplete if information to complete it can be furnished on
| ||||||
3 | the date of the original application.
| ||||||
4 | Any person claiming to be an elector in any election | ||||||
5 | precinct and

6 | make and sign an
application in writing, under oath, to the | ||||||
7 | county clerk in substance in

9 | make
application to the board of registry of the .... precinct | ||||||
10 | of the township of
.... (or to the county clerk of .... county) | ||||||
11 | and that said board or clerk
refused to complete my | ||||||
12 | registration as a qualified voter in said

3 | qualifications as an elector and
your right as such to register | ||||||
4 | and vote under the laws of the State of
Illinois."
| ||||||
5 | The Registration Officer shall satisfy himself that each | ||||||
6 | applicant
for registration is qualified to register before | ||||||
7 | registering him. If the
registration officer has reason to | ||||||
8 | believe that the applicant is a resident
of a Soldiers' and | ||||||
9 | Sailors' Home or any facility which is licensed or certified
| ||||||
10 | pursuant to the Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized Mental | ||||||
11 | Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, or the ID/DD Community Care | ||||||
12 | Act, the following question shall be put,
"When you entered the | ||||||
13 | home which is your present address, was it your bona fide
| ||||||
14 | intention to become a resident thereof?" Any voter of a | ||||||
15 | township, city,
village or incorporated town in which such | ||||||
16 | applicant resides, shall be
permitted to be present at the | ||||||
17 | place of precinct registration, and shall have
the right to | ||||||
18 | challenge any applicant who applies to be registered.
| ||||||
19 | In case the officer is not satisfied that the applicant is | ||||||
20 | qualified,
he shall forthwith in writing notify such applicant | ||||||
21 | to appear before the
County Clerk to furnish further proof of | ||||||
22 | his qualifications. Upon the

furnished on the date of the original application.
| ||||||
2 | Any person claiming to be an elector in any election | ||||||
3 | precinct in such
township, city, village or incorporated town | ||||||
4 | and whose registration is
marked "Incomplete" may make and sign | ||||||
5 | an application in writing, under
oath, to the County Clerk in | ||||||
6 | substance in the following form:

| ||||||
23 | officials, election authorities or the State Board of Elections | ||||||
24 | shall be the
original sheets which have been signed by the | ||||||
25 | voters and by the circulator, and

8 | Section 45. The Illinois Identification Card Act is amended | ||||||
9 | by changing Section 4 as follows:
| ||||||
10 | (15 ILCS 335/4) (from Ch. 124, par. 24)
| ||||||
11 | Sec. 4. Identification Card.
| ||||||
12 | (a) The Secretary of State shall issue a
standard Illinois | ||||||
13 | Identification Card to any natural person who is a resident
of | ||||||
14 | the State of Illinois who applies for such card, or renewal | ||||||
15 | thereof,
or who applies for a standard Illinois Identification | ||||||
16 | Card upon release as a
committed person on parole, mandatory | ||||||
17 | supervised release, aftercare release, final discharge, or
| ||||||
18 | pardon from the Department of Corrections or Department of | ||||||
19 | Juvenile Justice by submitting an identification card
issued by | ||||||
20 | the Department of Corrections or Department of Juvenile Justice | ||||||
21 | under Section 3-14-1 or Section 3-2.5-70 of the Unified
Code of | ||||||
22 | Corrections,
together with the prescribed fees. No | ||||||
23 | identification card shall be issued to any person who holds a | ||||||
24 | valid
foreign state
identification card, license, or permit |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | unless the person first surrenders to
the Secretary of
State | ||||||
2 | the valid foreign state identification card, license, or | ||||||
3 | permit. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by the | ||||||
4 | Secretary of State and shall include a photograph and signature | ||||||
5 | or mark of the
applicant. However, the Secretary of State may | ||||||
6 | provide by rule for the issuance of Illinois Identification | ||||||
7 | Cards without photographs if the applicant has a bona fide | ||||||
8 | religious objection to being photographed or to the display of | ||||||
9 | his or her photograph. The Illinois Identification Card may be | ||||||
10 | used for
identification purposes in any lawful situation only | ||||||
11 | by the person to
whom it was issued.
As used in this Act, | ||||||
12 | "photograph" means any color photograph or digitally
produced | ||||||
13 | and captured image of an applicant for an identification card. | ||||||
14 | As
used in this Act, "signature" means the name of a person as | ||||||
15 | written by that
person and captured in a manner acceptable to | ||||||
16 | the Secretary of State. | ||||||
17 | (a-5) If an applicant for an identification card has a | ||||||
18 | current driver's license or instruction permit issued by the | ||||||
19 | Secretary of State, the Secretary may require the applicant to | ||||||
20 | utilize the same residence address and name on the | ||||||
21 | identification card, driver's license, and instruction permit | ||||||
22 | records maintained by the Secretary. The Secretary may | ||||||
23 | promulgate rules to implement this provision.
| ||||||
24 | (a-10) If the applicant is a judicial officer as defined in | ||||||
25 | Section 1-10 of the Judicial Privacy Act or a peace officer, | ||||||
26 | the applicant may elect to have his or her office or work |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | address listed on the card instead of the applicant's residence | ||||||
2 | or mailing address. The Secretary may promulgate rules to | ||||||
3 | implement this provision. For the purposes of this subsection | ||||||
4 | (a-10), "peace officer" means any person who by virtue of his | ||||||
5 | or her office or public employment is vested by law with a duty | ||||||
6 | to maintain public order or to make arrests for a violation of | ||||||
7 | any penal statute of this State, whether that duty extends to | ||||||
8 | all violations or is limited to specific violations. | ||||||
9 | (b) The Secretary of State shall issue a special Illinois
| ||||||
10 | Identification Card, which shall be known as an Illinois Person | ||||||
11 | with a Disability
Identification Card, to any natural person | ||||||
12 | who is a resident of the State
of Illinois, who is a person | ||||||
13 | with a disability as defined in Section 4A of this Act,
who | ||||||
14 | applies for such card, or renewal thereof. No Illinois Person | ||||||
15 | with a Disability Identification Card shall be issued to any | ||||||
16 | person who
holds a valid
foreign state identification card, | ||||||
17 | license, or permit unless the person first
surrenders to the
| ||||||
18 | Secretary of State the valid foreign state identification card, | ||||||
19 | license, or
permit. The Secretary of State
shall charge no fee | ||||||
20 | to issue such card. The card shall be prepared and
supplied by | ||||||
21 | the Secretary of State, and shall include a photograph and | ||||||
22 | signature or mark of the
applicant, a designation indicating | ||||||
23 | that the card is an Illinois
Person with a Disability | ||||||
24 | Identification Card, and shall include a comprehensible | ||||||
25 | designation
of the type and classification of the applicant's | ||||||
26 | disability as set out in
Section 4A of this Act. However, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Secretary of State may provide by rule for the issuance of | ||||||
2 | Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Cards without | ||||||
3 | photographs if the applicant has a bona fide religious | ||||||
4 | objection to being photographed or to the display of his or her | ||||||
5 | photograph. If the applicant so requests, the card shall
| ||||||
6 | include a description of the applicant's disability and any | ||||||
7 | information
about the applicant's disability or medical | ||||||
8 | history which the Secretary
determines would be helpful to the | ||||||
9 | applicant in securing emergency medical
care. If a mark is used | ||||||
10 | in lieu of a signature, such mark
shall be affixed to the card | ||||||
11 | in the presence of two witnesses who attest to
the authenticity | ||||||
12 | of the mark. The Illinois
Person with a Disability | ||||||
13 | Identification Card may be used for identification purposes
in | ||||||
14 | any lawful situation by the person to whom it was issued.
| ||||||
15 | The Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card | ||||||
16 | may be used as adequate
documentation of disability in lieu of | ||||||
17 | a physician's determination of
disability, a determination of | ||||||
18 | disability from a physician assistant who has
been delegated | ||||||
19 | the authority to make this determination by his or her
| ||||||
20 | supervising physician, a determination of disability from an | ||||||
21 | advanced practice
nurse who has a written collaborative | ||||||
22 | agreement with a collaborating physician
that
authorizes the | ||||||
23 | advanced practice nurse to make this determination, or any
| ||||||
24 | other documentation
of disability whenever
any
State law
| ||||||
25 | requires that a disabled person provide such documentation of | ||||||
26 | disability,
however an Illinois Person with a Disability |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Identification Card shall not qualify
the cardholder to | ||||||
2 | participate in any program or to receive any benefit
which is | ||||||
3 | not available to all persons with like disabilities.
| ||||||
4 | Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, an Illinois Person | ||||||
5 | with a Disability
Identification Card, or evidence that the | ||||||
6 | Secretary of State has issued an
Illinois Person with a | ||||||
7 | Disability Identification Card, shall not be used by any
person | ||||||
8 | other than the person named on such card to prove that the | ||||||
9 | person
named on such card is a disabled person or for any other | ||||||
10 | purpose unless the
card is used for the benefit of the person | ||||||
11 | named on such card, and the
person named on such card consents | ||||||
12 | to such use at the time the card is so used.
| ||||||
13 | An optometrist's determination of a visual disability | ||||||
14 | under Section 4A of this Act is acceptable as documentation for | ||||||
15 | the purpose of issuing an Illinois Person with a Disability | ||||||
16 | Identification Card. | ||||||
17 | When medical information is contained on an Illinois Person | ||||||
18 | with a Disability
Identification Card, the Office of the | ||||||
19 | Secretary of State shall not be
liable for any actions taken | ||||||
20 | based upon that medical information.
| ||||||
21 | (c) The Secretary of State shall provide
that each original | ||||||
22 | or renewal Illinois Identification Card or Illinois
Person with | ||||||
23 | a Disability Identification Card issued to a person under the | ||||||
24 | age of 21
shall be of a distinct nature from those Illinois | ||||||
25 | Identification Cards or
Illinois Person with a Disability | ||||||
26 | Identification Cards issued to individuals 21
years of age or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | older. The color designated for Illinois Identification
Cards | ||||||
2 | or Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Cards for | ||||||
3 | persons under
the age of 21 shall be at the discretion of the | ||||||
4 | Secretary of State.
| ||||||
5 | (c-1) Each original or renewal Illinois
Identification | ||||||
6 | Card or Illinois Person with a Disability Identification Card | ||||||
7 | issued to
a person under the age of 21 shall display the date | ||||||
8 | upon which the person
becomes 18 years of age and the date upon | ||||||
9 | which the person becomes 21 years of
age.
| ||||||
10 | (c-3) The General Assembly recognizes the need to identify | ||||||
11 | military veterans living in this State for the purpose of | ||||||
12 | ensuring that they receive all of the services and benefits to | ||||||
13 | which they are legally entitled, including healthcare, | ||||||
14 | education assistance, and job placement. To assist the State in | ||||||

| ||||||

| ||||||
9 | (15 ILCS 405/10.10) (from Ch. 15, par. 210.10)
| ||||||
10 | Sec. 10.10.
(a) If any Comptroller's warrant is lost, | ||||||
11 | mislaid or destroyed,
or becomes void after issuance, so that | ||||||
12 | it cannot be presented for payment
by the person entitled | ||||||
13 | thereto, the Comptroller, at any time before that
warrant is | ||||||
14 | paid by the State Treasurer, but within 5 years of the
date of | ||||||
15 | issuance, may issue a replacement warrant to the person | ||||||
16 | entitled
thereto. If the original warrant was not cancelled or | ||||||
17 | did not become void,
the Comptroller, before issuing the | ||||||
18 | replacement warrant, shall issue a stop
payment order on the | ||||||
19 | State Treasurer and receive a confirmation of the stop
payment | ||||||
20 | order on the original warrant from the State Treasurer.
| ||||||
21 | (b) Only the person entitled to the original warrant, or | ||||||
22 | his heirs or
legal representatives, or a third party to whom it | ||||||
23 | was properly negotiated
or the heirs or legal representatives |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of such party, may request a replacement
warrant. In the case | ||||||
2 | of a warrant issued to a payee who dies before the
warrant is | ||||||
3 | paid by the State Treasurer and whose estate has been probated
| ||||||
4 | pursuant to law, the Comptroller, upon receipt of a certified | ||||||
5 | copy of a
judicial order establishing the person or entity | ||||||
6 | entitled to payment, may
issue a replacement warrant to such | ||||||
7 | person or entity.
| ||||||
8 | (c) Within 12 months from the date of issuance of the
| ||||||
9 | original warrant, if the original warrant has not been canceled | ||||||
10 | for redeposit,
the Comptroller may issue a replacement warrant | ||||||
11 | on the original voucher drawing
upon the same fund and charging | ||||||
12 | the same appropriation or other expenditure
authorization as | ||||||
13 | the original warrant.
| ||||||
14 | (d) Within 12 months from the date of issuance of the | ||||||
15 | original
warrant, if the original warrant has been canceled for | ||||||
16 | redeposit, and if the
issuance of the replacement warrant would | ||||||
17 | not over-obligate the appropriation
or other expenditure | ||||||
18 | authority against which it is drawn, the Comptroller may
issue | ||||||
19 | the replacement warrant. If the original warrant was issued | ||||||
20 | against
an appropriation or other expenditure authority which | ||||||
21 | has lapsed, the
replacement warrant shall be drawn on the | ||||||
22 | Warrant Escheat Fund. If the
appropriation or other | ||||||
23 | obligational authority against which the replacement
warrant | ||||||
24 | is drawn has not lapsed, the Comptroller shall notify the
| ||||||
25 | originating agency of the request for a replacement warrant and | ||||||
26 | shall
receive a replacement voucher from that agency before |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | drawing the
replacement warrant, which shall be drawn on the | ||||||
2 | same fund and charged to
the same appropriation or other | ||||||
3 | expenditure authority as the original warrant.
| ||||||
4 | (e) Within 12 months from the date of issuance of the | ||||||
5 | original
warrant, if the original warrant has been canceled for | ||||||
6 | redeposit, the Comptroller
may not issue a replacement warrant | ||||||
7 | where such issuance would over-obligate
the appropriation or | ||||||
8 | other expenditure authority against which the original
warrant | ||||||
9 | was drawn. Whenever the Comptroller is presented with a request
| ||||||
10 | for a replacement warrant which may not be issued under the | ||||||
11 | limitation of
this subsection, if the appropriation or other | ||||||
12 | expenditure authority
against which the original warrant was | ||||||
13 | drawn has not lapsed, the Comptroller
shall immediately inform | ||||||
14 | the originating agency of the request and that
the request may | ||||||
15 | not be honored because of the resulting
over-obligation, and | ||||||
16 | shall request the agency to determine whether or not
that | ||||||
17 | agency will take some corrective action before the applicable | ||||||
18 | expenditure
authorization lapses. The originating agency shall | ||||||
19 | respond to the Comptroller's
inquiry within 5 business days.
| ||||||
20 | (f) After 12 months from the date of issuance of the
| ||||||
21 | original warrant,
if the original warrant has not been | ||||||
22 | cancelled for redeposit, the Comptroller
shall issue the | ||||||
23 | replacement warrant on the Warrant Escheat Fund.
| ||||||
24 | (f-5) After 5 years from the date of issuance of the | ||||||
25 | original warrant but no later than 10 years after that date, | ||||||
26 | the Comptroller may issue a replacement warrant on the Warrant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Escheat Fund to a person or entity entitled thereto, as those | ||||||
2 | persons and entities are described in subsection (b) of this | ||||||
3 | Section, if the following requirements are met: | ||||||
4 | (1) the person or entity verifies that the person or | ||||||
5 | entity is they are entitled to the original warrant; | ||||||
6 | (2) in the case of a warrant that is not presented by | ||||||
7 | the requestor, the paying agency certifies that the | ||||||
8 | original payee is still entitled to the payment; and | ||||||
9 | (3) the Comptroller's records are available and | ||||||
10 | confirm that the warrant was not replaced. | ||||||
11 | (g) Except as provided in this Section, requests for | ||||||
12 | replacement warrants
for more than $500 shall show entitlement | ||||||
13 | to such warrant by
including an affidavit, in writing, sworn | ||||||
14 | before a person authorized to
administer oaths and | ||||||
15 | affirmations, stating the loss or destruction of the
warrant, | ||||||
16 | or the
fact that the warrant is void. However, when the written | ||||||
17 | request for a
replacement warrant submitted by the person to | ||||||
18 | whom the original warrant was
issued is accompanied by the | ||||||
19 | original warrant, no affidavit is
required. Requests for | ||||||
20 | replacement warrants for $500 or less shall show entitlement to | ||||||
21 | such
warrant by submitting a written statement of the loss
or | ||||||
22 | destruction of the warrant, or the fact that the warrant is | ||||||
23 | void on an
application form prescribed by the Comptroller. If | ||||||
24 | the person requesting the
replacement is in possession of the | ||||||
25 | original warrant, or any part thereof, the
original warrant or | ||||||
26 | the part thereof must accompany the request for
replacement. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Comptroller shall then draw such replacement warrant, and | ||||||
2 | the
treasurer
shall pay the replacement warrant. If at the time | ||||||
3 | of a loss or destruction
a warrant was negotiated to a third | ||||||
4 | party, however (which fact shall be
ascertained by the oath of | ||||||
5 | the party making the application, or otherwise),
before the | ||||||
6 | replacement warrant is drawn
by the Comptroller, the person | ||||||
7 | requesting the replacement warrant must give
the Comptroller a | ||||||
8 | bond or bonds with sufficient sureties, to be approved
by the | ||||||
9 | Comptroller, when required by regulation of the Comptroller, | ||||||
10 | payable
to the People of the State of Illinois, for the | ||||||
11 | refunding of the
amount, together with all costs and charges, | ||||||
12 | should the State afterwards
be compelled to pay the original | ||||||
13 | warrant.

21 | problems, and preventing the breakup of the family
| ||||||

| ||||||
11 | concurrent planning,
as described in subsection (l-1) | ||||||
12 | of this Section so that permanency may
occur at the | ||||||
13 | earliest opportunity. Consideration should be given so | ||||||
14 | that if
reunification fails or is delayed, the | ||||||
15 | placement made is the best available
placement to | ||||||
16 | provide permanency for the child;
| ||||||
17 | (G) (blank);
| ||||||
18 | (H) (blank); and
| ||||||

expenditure of public funds for the purpose of performing | ||||||
14 | abortions.
| ||||||
15 | (c) The Department shall establish and maintain | ||||||
16 | tax-supported child

17 | improve voluntary services
throughout the State, to the end | ||||||
18 | that services and care shall be available
on an equal basis | ||||||
19 | throughout the State to children requiring such services.
| ||||||
20 | (d) The Director may authorize advance disbursements for | ||||||
21 | any new program
initiative to any agency contracting with the | ||||||
22 | Department. As a
prerequisite for an advance disbursement, the | ||||||
23 | contractor must post a

installment amount shall then be deducted from future | ||||||
4 | bills. Advance
disbursement authorizations for new initiatives | ||||||
5 | shall not be made to any
agency after that agency has operated | ||||||
6 | during 2 consecutive fiscal years.
The requirements of this | ||||||
7 | Section concerning advance disbursements shall

8 | respect to the following: payments to local public agencies
for | ||||||

1980; and
| ||||||
4 | (10) interstate services.
| ||||||
5 | Rules and regulations established by the Department shall | ||||||
6 | include
provisions for training Department staff and the staff | ||||||
7 | of Department
grantees, through contracts with other agencies | ||||||
8 | or resources, in alcohol
and drug abuse screening techniques | ||||||
9 | approved by the Department of Human
Services, as a successor to | ||||||
10 | the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse,
for the | ||||||
11 | purpose of identifying children and adults who
should be | ||||||
12 | referred to an alcohol and drug abuse treatment program for
| ||||||
13 | professional evaluation.
| ||||||
14 | (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate | ||||||
15 | program or
facility within or available to the Department for a | ||||||
16 | ward and that no
licensed private facility has an adequate and | ||||||
17 | appropriate program or none
agrees to accept the ward, the | ||||||
18 | Department shall create an appropriate
individualized, | ||||||
19 | program-oriented plan for such ward. The
plan may be developed | ||||||
20 | within the Department or through purchase of services
by the | ||||||
21 | Department to the extent that it is within its statutory | ||||||
22 | authority
to do.
| ||||||

| ||||||
9 | (2) assessments;

10 | (3) respite care; and
| ||||||

| ||||||
15 | (j) The Department may provide categories of financial | ||||||
16 | assistance and
education assistance grants, and shall
| ||||||
17 | establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and | ||||||
18 | grants, to
persons who
adopt physically or mentally | ||||||
19 | handicapped, older and other hard-to-place
children who (i) | ||||||
20 | immediately prior to their adoption were legal wards of
the | ||||||
21 | Department
or (ii) were determined eligible for financial | ||||||
22 | assistance with respect to a
prior adoption and who become | ||||||
23 | available for adoption because the
prior adoption has been | ||||||
24 | dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive
parents have | ||||||
25 | been
terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have | ||||||
26 | died.
The Department may continue to provide financial |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was | ||||||
2 | determined eligible for financial assistance under this | ||||||
3 | subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's | ||||||
4 | adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the | ||||||
5 | new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or | ||||||
6 | parents. The Department may also provide categories of | ||||||
7 | financial
assistance and education assistance grants, and
| ||||||
8 | shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and | ||||||
9 | grants, to persons
appointed guardian of the person under | ||||||
10 | Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court
Act or Section 2-27, 3-28, | ||||||
11 | 4-25 or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
for children | ||||||
12 | who were wards of the Department for 12 months immediately
| ||||||
13 | prior to the appointment of the guardian.
| ||||||
14 | The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs | ||||||
15 | of the child
and the adoptive parents,
as set forth in the | ||||||
16 | annual
assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are | ||||||
17 | allowed where the child
requires special service but such costs | ||||||
18 | may not exceed the amounts
which similar services would cost | ||||||
19 | the Department if it were to provide or
secure them as guardian | ||||||
20 | of the child.
| ||||||
21 | Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
| ||||||
22 | inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment, | ||||||
23 | garnishment, or any
other remedy for recovery or collection of | ||||||
24 | a judgment or debt.
| ||||||
25 | (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement | ||||||
26 | of a child for
adoption
if an approved family is available |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | either outside of the Department region
handling the case,
or | ||||||
2 | outside of the State of Illinois.
| ||||||
3 | (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any | ||||||
4 | child who has
been adjudicated neglected or abused, or | ||||||
5 | dependent committed to it pursuant
to the Juvenile Court Act or | ||||||
6 | the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
| ||||||
7 | (l) The Department shall
offer family preservation | ||||||
8 | services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused
and
Neglected | ||||||
9 | Child
Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and | ||||||
10 | extended families.
Family preservation
services shall be | ||||||
11 | offered (i) to prevent the
placement
of children in
substitute | ||||||
12 | care when the children can be cared for at home or in the | ||||||
13 | custody of
the person
responsible for the children's welfare,
| ||||||
14 | (ii) to
reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
| ||||||
15 | maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services | ||||||
16 | shall only be
offered when doing so will not endanger the | ||||||
17 | children's health or safety. With
respect to children who are | ||||||
18 | in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court
Act of 1987, | ||||||
19 | family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal | ||||||
20 | other
than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of | ||||||
21 | subsection (2) of Section 2-28
of
that Act has been set.
| ||||||
22 | Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a | ||||||
23 | private right of
action or claim on the part of any individual | ||||||
24 | or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the | ||||||
25 | subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act | ||||||
26 | of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court | ||||||
2 | hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act | ||||||
3 | of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set | ||||||
4 | out in the plan, if those services are not provided with | ||||||
5 | reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
| ||||||
6 | The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
| ||||||
7 | Department's
responsibility to offer and provide family | ||||||
8 | preservation services as
identified in the service plan. The | ||||||
9 | child and his family shall be eligible
for services as soon as | ||||||
10 | the report is determined to be "indicated". The
Department may | ||||||
11 | offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
| ||||||
12 | report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed, | ||||||
13 | prior to
concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the | ||||||
14 | Abused and Neglected
Child Reporting Act. However, the child's | ||||||
15 | or family's willingness to
accept services shall not be | ||||||
16 | considered in the investigation. The
Department may also | ||||||
17 | provide services to any child or family who is the
subject of | ||||||
18 | any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer | ||||||
19 | such
child or family to services available from other agencies | ||||||
20 | in the community,
even if the report is determined to be | ||||||
21 | unfounded, if the conditions in the
child's or family's home | ||||||
22 | are reasonably likely to subject the child or
family to future | ||||||
23 | reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance
of such | ||||||
24 | services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide | ||||||
25 | services to any child or family after completion of a family | ||||||
26 | assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under the "differential response program" provided for in | ||||||
2 | subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected | ||||||
3 | Child Reporting Act.
| ||||||
4 | The Department may, at its discretion except for those | ||||||
5 | children also
adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for | ||||||
6 | care and training any child
who has been adjudicated addicted, | ||||||
7 | as a truant minor in need of
supervision or as a minor | ||||||
8 | requiring authoritative intervention, under the
Juvenile Court | ||||||
9 | Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child
shall | ||||||
10 | be committed to the Department by any court without the | ||||||
11 | approval of
the Department. A minor charged with a criminal | ||||||
12 | offense under the Criminal
Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of | ||||||
13 | 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the | ||||||
14 | custody of or
committed to the Department by any court, except | ||||||
15 | (i) a minor less than 15 years
of age committed to the | ||||||
16 | Department under Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court
Act
of | ||||||
17 | 1987, (ii) a minor for whom an independent basis of abuse, | ||||||
18 | neglect, or dependency exists, which must be defined by | ||||||
19 | departmental rule, or (iii) a minor for whom the court has | ||||||
20 | granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship pursuant | ||||||
21 | to subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of | ||||||
22 | 1987. An independent basis exists when the allegations or | ||||||
23 | adjudication of abuse, neglect, or dependency do not arise from | ||||||
24 | the same facts, incident, or circumstances which give rise to a | ||||||
25 | charge or adjudication of delinquency.
| ||||||
26 | As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and | ||||||
2 | implement a special program of family preservation services to | ||||||
3 | support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are | ||||||
4 | experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress | ||||||
5 | of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive | ||||||
6 | developmental disorder if the Department determines that those | ||||||
7 | services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the | ||||||
8 | child. The Department may offer services to any family whether | ||||||
9 | or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected | ||||||
10 | Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or | ||||||
11 | family to services available from other agencies in the | ||||||
12 | community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are | ||||||
13 | reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future | ||||||
14 | reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of | ||||||
15 | these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop | ||||||
16 | and implement a public information campaign to alert health and | ||||||
17 | social service providers and the general public about these | ||||||
18 | special family preservation services. The nature and scope of | ||||||
19 | the services offered and the number of families served under | ||||||
20 | the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be | ||||||
21 | determined by the level of funding that the Department annually | ||||||
22 | allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental | ||||||
23 | disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition, | ||||||
24 | including but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism, | ||||||
25 | as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and | ||||||
26 | Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Psychiatric Association. | ||||||
2 | (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of | ||||||
3 | the child
require that
the child be placed in the most | ||||||
4 | permanent living arrangement as soon as is
practically
| ||||||
5 | possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the | ||||||
6 | Department of
Children and
Family Services to conduct | ||||||
7 | concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at
the
| ||||||
8 | earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may | ||||||
9 | include prevention of
placement of a child outside the home of | ||||||
10 | the family when the child can be cared
for at
home without | ||||||
11 | endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with | ||||||
12 | the
family,
when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement | ||||||
13 | is necessary; or movement of
the child
toward the most | ||||||
14 | permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
| ||||||
15 | When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect | ||||||
16 | to a child, as
described in this
subsection, and in making such | ||||||
17 | reasonable efforts, the child's health and
safety shall be the
| ||||||
18 | paramount concern.
| ||||||
19 | When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall | ||||||
20 | ensure and
document that reasonable efforts were made to | ||||||
21 | prevent or eliminate the need to
remove the child from the | ||||||
22 | child's home. The Department must make
reasonable efforts to | ||||||
23 | reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
occurs
| ||||||
24 | unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act | ||||||
25 | of 1987.
At any time after the dispositional hearing where the | ||||||
26 | Department believes
that further reunification services would |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be ineffective, it may request a
finding from the court that | ||||||
2 | reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The
Department is | ||||||
3 | not required to provide further reunification services after | ||||||
4 | such
a
finding.
| ||||||
5 | A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be | ||||||
6 | made with
considerations of the child's health, safety, and | ||||||
7 | best interests. At the
time of placement, consideration should | ||||||
8 | also be given so that if reunification
fails or is delayed, the | ||||||
9 | placement made is the best available placement to
provide | ||||||
10 | permanency for the child.
| ||||||
11 | The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent | ||||||
12 | planning for
reunification and permanency. The Department | ||||||
13 | shall consider the following
factors when determining | ||||||
14 | appropriateness of concurrent planning:
| ||||||
15 | (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
| ||||||
16 | (2) the past history of the family;
| ||||||
17 | (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by | ||||||
18 | the family;
| ||||||
19 | (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
| ||||||
20 | (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the | ||||||
21 | family to reunite;
| ||||||
22 | (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to | ||||||
23 | provide an
adoptive
home or long-term placement;
| ||||||
24 | (7) the age of the child;
| ||||||
25 | (8) placement of siblings.
| ||||||
26 | (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | child if:
| ||||||
2 | (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary | ||||||
3 | custody
signed by the parents of the child or by the parent | ||||||
4 | having custody of the
child if the parents are not living | ||||||
5 | together or by the guardian or
custodian of the child if | ||||||
6 | the child is not in the custody of either
parent, or
| ||||||
7 | (2) the child is found in the State and neither a | ||||||
8 | parent,
guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
| ||||||
9 | If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent, | ||||||
10 | guardian,
custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department | ||||||
11 | may, instead of removing
the child and assuming temporary | ||||||
12 | custody, place an authorized
representative of the Department | ||||||
13 | in that residence until such time as a
parent, guardian or | ||||||
14 | custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness
and | ||||||
15 | apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and | ||||||
16 | resume
permanent
charge of the child, or until a
relative | ||||||
17 | enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's | ||||||
18 | health
and
safety and assume charge of the
child until a | ||||||
19 | parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
| ||||||
20 | such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and | ||||||
21 | resume
permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the | ||||||
22 | home for a period not
to exceed 12 hours, the Department must | ||||||
23 | follow those procedures outlined in
Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or | ||||||
24 | 5-415 of the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987.
| ||||||
25 | The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities | ||||||
26 | and duties that
a legal custodian of the child would have |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pursuant to subsection (9) of
Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court | ||||||
2 | Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken
into temporary custody | ||||||
3 | pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and
Neglected | ||||||
4 | Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
| ||||||
5 | under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited | ||||||
6 | custody, the
Department, during the period of temporary custody | ||||||
7 | and before the child
is brought before a judicial officer as | ||||||
8 | required by Section 2-9, 3-11,
4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile | ||||||
9 | Court Act of 1987, shall have
the authority, responsibilities | ||||||
10 | and duties that a legal custodian of the child
would have under | ||||||
11 | subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
| ||||||
12 | 1987.
| ||||||
13 | The Department shall ensure that any child taken into | ||||||
14 | custody
is scheduled for an appointment for a medical | ||||||
15 | examination.
| ||||||
16 | A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary | ||||||
17 | custody of the
Department who would have custody of the child | ||||||
18 | if he were not in the
temporary custody of the Department may | ||||||
19 | deliver to the Department a signed
request that the Department | ||||||
20 | surrender the temporary custody of the child.
The Department | ||||||
21 | may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after
the | ||||||
22 | receipt of the request, during which period the Department may | ||||||
23 | cause to
be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act | ||||||
24 | of 1987. If a
petition is so filed, the Department shall retain | ||||||
25 | temporary custody of the
child until the court orders | ||||||
26 | otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
the 10 day period, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the
requesting | ||||||
2 | parent, guardian or custodian not later than the expiration of
| ||||||
3 | the 10 day period, at which time the authority and duties of | ||||||
4 | the Department
with respect to the temporary custody of the | ||||||
5 | child shall terminate.
| ||||||
6 | (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of | ||||||
7 | age in a secure
child care facility licensed by the Department | ||||||
8 | that cares for children who are
in need of secure living | ||||||
9 | arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being
after a | ||||||
10 | determination is made by the facility director and the Director | ||||||
11 | or the
Director's designate prior to admission to the facility | ||||||
12 | subject to Section
2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. | ||||||
13 | This subsection (m-1) does not apply
to a child who is subject | ||||||
14 | to placement in a correctional facility operated
pursuant to | ||||||
15 | Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
| ||||||
16 | child is a ward who was placed under the care of the Department | ||||||
17 | before being
subject to placement in a correctional facility | ||||||
18 | and a court of competent
jurisdiction has ordered placement of | ||||||
19 | the child in a secure care facility.
| ||||||
20 | (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age | ||||||
21 | in
licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the | ||||||
22 | Department,
appropriate services aimed at family preservation | ||||||
23 | have been unsuccessful and
cannot ensure the child's health and | ||||||
24 | safety or are unavailable and such
placement would be for their | ||||||
25 | best interest. Payment
for board, clothing, care, training and | ||||||
26 | supervision of any child placed in
a licensed child care |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | facility may be made by the Department, by the
parents or | ||||||
2 | guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
| ||||||
3 | Department and the parents or guardians, except that no | ||||||
4 | payments shall be
made by the Department for any child placed | ||||||
5 | in a licensed child care
facility for board, clothing, care, | ||||||
6 | training and supervision of such a
child that exceed the | ||||||
7 | average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring
for a | ||||||
8 | child in institutions for dependent or neglected children | ||||||
9 | operated by
the Department. However, such restriction on | ||||||
10 | payments does not apply in
cases where children require | ||||||
11 | specialized care and treatment for problems of
severe emotional | ||||||
12 | disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or
any | ||||||
13 | combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement | ||||||
14 | of such
children are not available at payment rates within the | ||||||
15 | limitations set
forth in this Section. All reimbursements for | ||||||
16 | services delivered shall be
absolutely inalienable by | ||||||
17 | assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or
otherwise.
| ||||||
18 | (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child | ||||||
19 | welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve | ||||||
20 | sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any | ||||||
21 | minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to | ||||||
22 | subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of | ||||||
23 | 1987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed, | ||||||
24 | provided that the minor consents to such services and has not | ||||||
25 | yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have | ||||||
26 | responsibility for the development and delivery of services |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under | ||||||
2 | this Section through the Department of Children and Family | ||||||
3 | Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services. | ||||||
4 | Youth participating in services under this Section shall | ||||||
5 | cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an | ||||||
6 | agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the | ||||||
7 | youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A | ||||||
8 | homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any | ||||||
9 | youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The | ||||||
10 | Department shall continue child welfare services under this | ||||||
11 | Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years | ||||||
12 | of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves | ||||||
13 | self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The | ||||||
14 | Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear, | ||||||
15 | readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child | ||||||
16 | welfare services under this Section and how such services may | ||||||
17 | be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and | ||||||
18 | the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this | ||||||
19 | information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations | ||||||
20 | describing services intended to assist minors in achieving | ||||||
21 | sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults. | ||||||
22 | (o) The Department shall establish an administrative | ||||||
23 | review and appeal
process for children and families who request | ||||||
24 | or receive child welfare
services from the Department. Children | ||||||
25 | who are wards of the Department and
are placed by private child | ||||||
26 | welfare agencies, and foster families with whom
those children |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | are placed, shall be afforded the same procedural and appeal
| ||||||
2 | rights as children and families in the case of placement by the | ||||||
3 | Department,
including the right to an initial review of a | ||||||
4 | private agency decision by
that agency. The Department shall | ||||||
5 | insure that any private child welfare
agency, which accepts | ||||||
6 | wards of the Department for placement, affords those
rights to | ||||||
7 | children and foster families. The Department shall accept for
| ||||||
8 | administrative review and an appeal hearing a complaint made by | ||||||
9 | (i) a child
or foster family concerning a decision following an | ||||||
10 | initial review by a
private child welfare agency or (ii) a | ||||||
11 | prospective adoptive parent who alleges
a violation of | ||||||
12 | subsection (j-5) of this Section. An appeal of a decision
| ||||||
13 | concerning a change in the placement of a child shall be | ||||||
14 | conducted in an
expedited manner. A court determination that a | ||||||
15 | current foster home placement is necessary and appropriate | ||||||
16 | under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 does not | ||||||
17 | constitute a judicial determination on the merits of an | ||||||
18 | administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent, | ||||||
19 | involving a change of placement decision.
| ||||||
20 | (p) There is hereby created the Department of Children and | ||||||
21 | Family
Services Emergency Assistance Fund from which the | ||||||
22 | Department may provide
special financial assistance to | ||||||
23 | families which are in economic crisis when
such assistance is | ||||||
24 | not available through other public or private sources
and the | ||||||
25 | assistance is deemed necessary to prevent dissolution of the | ||||||
26 | family
unit or to reunite families which have been separated |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | due to child abuse and
neglect. The Department shall establish | ||||||
2 | administrative rules specifying
the criteria for determining | ||||||
3 | eligibility for and the amount and nature of
assistance to be | ||||||
4 | provided. The Department may also enter into written
agreements | ||||||
5 | with private and public social service agencies to provide
| ||||||
6 | emergency financial services to families referred by the | ||||||
7 | Department.
Special financial assistance payments shall be | ||||||
8 | available to a family no
more than once during each fiscal year | ||||||
9 | and the total payments to a
family may not exceed $500 during a | ||||||
10 | fiscal year.
| ||||||
11 | (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety, | ||||||
12 | for the
benefit of children any gift, donation or bequest of | ||||||
13 | money or other
property which is received on behalf of such | ||||||
14 | children, or any financial
benefits to which such children are | ||||||
15 | or may become entitled while under
the jurisdiction or care of | ||||||
16 | the Department.
| ||||||
17 | The Department shall set up and administer no-cost, | ||||||
18 | interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial | ||||||
19 | institutions
for children for whom the Department is legally | ||||||
20 | responsible and who have been
determined eligible for Veterans' | ||||||
21 | Benefits, Social Security benefits,
assistance allotments from | ||||||
22 | the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental
voluntary | ||||||
23 | payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
| ||||||
24 | payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous | ||||||
25 | payments. Interest
earned by each account shall be credited to | ||||||
26 | the account, unless
disbursed in accordance with this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection.
| ||||||
2 | In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the | ||||||
3 | Department
shall:
| ||||||
4 | (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and | ||||||
5 | federal laws for
disbursing money from children's | ||||||
6 | accounts. In all
circumstances,
the Department's | ||||||
7 | "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
| ||||||
8 | approve disbursements from children's accounts. The | ||||||
9 | Department
shall be responsible for keeping complete | ||||||
10 | records of all disbursements for each account for any | ||||||
11 | purpose.
| ||||||
12 | (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from | ||||||
13 | State funds for the
child's board and care, medical care | ||||||
14 | not covered under Medicaid, and social
services; and | ||||||
15 | utilize funds from the child's account, as
covered by | ||||||
16 | regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly, | ||||||
17 | disbursements from
all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of | ||||||
18 | $13,000,000, shall be
deposited by the Department into the | ||||||
19 | General Revenue Fund and the balance over
1/12 of | ||||||
20 | $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
| ||||||
21 | (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing | ||||||
22 | for the child's costs
of care, as specified in item (2). | ||||||
23 | The balance shall accumulate in accordance
with relevant | ||||||
24 | State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child | ||||||
25 | or his
or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.
| ||||||
26 | (r) The Department shall promulgate regulations |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | encouraging all adoption
agencies to voluntarily forward to the | ||||||
2 | Department or its agent names and
addresses of all persons who | ||||||
3 | have applied for and have been approved for
adoption of a | ||||||
4 | hard-to-place or handicapped child and the names of such
| ||||||
5 | children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of such | ||||||
6 | names and
addresses shall be maintained by the Department or | ||||||
7 | its agent, and coded
lists which maintain the confidentiality | ||||||
8 | of the person seeking to adopt the
child and of the child shall | ||||||
9 | be made available, without charge, to every
adoption agency in | ||||||
10 | the State to assist the agencies in placing such
children for | ||||||
11 | adoption. The Department may delegate to an agent its duty to
| ||||||
12 | maintain and make available such lists. The Department shall | ||||||
13 | ensure that
such agent maintains the confidentiality of the | ||||||
14 | person seeking to adopt the
child and of the child.
| ||||||
15 | (s) The Department of Children and Family Services may | ||||||
16 | establish and
implement a program to reimburse Department and | ||||||
17 | private child welfare
agency foster parents licensed by the | ||||||
18 | Department of Children and Family
Services for damages | ||||||
19 | sustained by the foster parents as a result of the
malicious or | ||||||
20 | negligent acts of foster children, as well as providing third
| ||||||
21 | party coverage for such foster parents with regard to actions | ||||||
22 | of foster
children to other individuals. Such coverage will be | ||||||
23 | secondary to the
foster parent liability insurance policy, if | ||||||
24 | applicable. The program shall
be funded through appropriations | ||||||
25 | from the General Revenue Fund,
specifically designated for such | ||||||
26 | purposes.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (t) The Department shall perform home studies and | ||||||
2 | investigations and
shall exercise supervision over visitation | ||||||
3 | as ordered by a court pursuant
to the Illinois Marriage and | ||||||
4 | Dissolution of Marriage Act or the Adoption
Act only if:
| ||||||
5 | (1) an order entered by an Illinois court specifically
| ||||||
6 | directs the Department to perform such services; and
| ||||||
7 | (2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
| ||||||
8 | the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its | ||||||
9 | reasonable costs for
providing such services in accordance | ||||||
10 | with Department rules, or has
determined that neither party | ||||||
11 | is financially able to pay.
| ||||||
12 | The Department shall provide written notification to the | ||||||
13 | court of the
specific arrangements for supervised visitation | ||||||
14 | and projected monthly costs
within 60 days of the court order. | ||||||
15 | The Department shall send to the court
information related to | ||||||
16 | the costs incurred except in cases where the court
has | ||||||
17 | determined the parties are financially unable to pay. The court | ||||||
18 | may
order additional periodic reports as appropriate.
| ||||||
19 | (u) In addition to other information that must be provided, | ||||||
20 | whenever the Department places a child with a prospective | ||||||
21 | adoptive parent or parents or in a licensed foster home,
group | ||||||
22 | home, child care institution, or in a relative home, the | ||||||
23 | Department
shall provide to the prospective adoptive parent or | ||||||
24 | parents or other caretaker:
| ||||||
25 | (1) available detailed information concerning the | ||||||
26 | child's educational
and health history, copies of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | immunization records (including insurance
and medical card | ||||||
2 | information), a history of the child's previous | ||||||
3 | placements,
if any, and reasons for placement changes | ||||||
4 | excluding any information that
identifies or reveals the | ||||||
5 | location of any previous caretaker;
| ||||||
6 | (2) a copy of the child's portion of the client service | ||||||
7 | plan, including
any visitation arrangement, and all | ||||||
8 | amendments or revisions to it as
related to the child; and
| ||||||
9 | (3) information containing details of the child's | ||||||
10 | individualized
educational plan when the child is | ||||||
11 | receiving special education services.
| ||||||
12 | The caretaker shall be informed of any known social or | ||||||
13 | behavioral
information (including, but not limited to, | ||||||
14 | criminal background, fire
setting, perpetuation of
sexual | ||||||
15 | abuse, destructive behavior, and substance abuse) necessary to | ||||||
16 | care
for and safeguard the children to be placed or currently | ||||||
17 | in the home. The Department may prepare a written summary of | ||||||
18 | the information required by this paragraph, which may be | ||||||
19 | provided to the foster or prospective adoptive parent in | ||||||
20 | advance of a placement. The foster or prospective adoptive | ||||||
21 | parent may review the supporting documents in the child's file | ||||||
22 | in the presence of casework staff. In the case of an emergency | ||||||
23 | placement, casework staff shall at least provide known | ||||||
24 | information verbally, if necessary, and must subsequently | ||||||
25 | provide the information in writing as required by this | ||||||
26 | subsection.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The information described in this subsection shall be | ||||||
2 | provided in writing. In the case of emergency placements when | ||||||
3 | time does not allow prior review, preparation, and collection | ||||||
4 | of written information, the Department shall provide such | ||||||
5 | information as it becomes available. Within 10 business days | ||||||
6 | after placement, the Department shall obtain from the | ||||||
7 | prospective adoptive parent or parents or other caretaker a | ||||||
8 | signed verification of receipt of the information provided. | ||||||
9 | Within 10 business days after placement, the Department shall | ||||||
10 | provide to the child's guardian ad litem a copy of the | ||||||
11 | information provided to the prospective adoptive parent or | ||||||
12 | parents or other caretaker. The information provided to the | ||||||
13 | prospective adoptive parent or parents or other caretaker shall | ||||||
14 | be reviewed and approved regarding accuracy at the supervisory | ||||||
15 | level.
| ||||||
16 | (u-5) Effective July 1, 1995, only foster care placements | ||||||
17 | licensed as
foster family homes pursuant to the Child Care Act | ||||||
18 | of 1969 shall be eligible to
receive foster care payments from | ||||||
19 | the Department.
Relative caregivers who, as of July 1, 1995, | ||||||
20 | were approved pursuant to approved
relative placement rules | ||||||

| ||||||
23 | If and when it shall appear to the facility director of the | ||||||
24 | Chester Mental
Health Center that it is necessary to confine | ||||||
25 | persons in order to maintain
security or provide for the | ||||||
26 | protection and safety of recipients and staff, the
Chester |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Mental Health Center may confine all persons on a unit to their | ||||||
2 | rooms.
This period of confinement shall not exceed 10 hours in | ||||||
3 | a 24 hour period,
including the recipient's scheduled hours of | ||||||
4 | sleep, unless approved by the
Secretary of the Department. | ||||||
5 | During the period of
confinement, the
persons confined shall be | ||||||
6 | observed at least every 15 minutes. A record shall
be kept of | ||||||
7 | the observations. This confinement shall not be considered
| ||||||
8 | seclusion as defined in the Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
9 | Disabilities
Code.
| ||||||
10 | The facility director of the Chester Mental Health Center | ||||||
11 | may authorize

20 | therefrom. The facility
director shall allow the Illinois | ||||||
21 | Guardianship and Advocacy Commission, the
agency designated by | ||||||
22 | the Governor under Section 1 of the Protection and
Advocacy for | ||||||
23 | Developmentally Disabled Persons Act, and the Department to
| ||||||
24 | examine and copy such record upon request.
| ||||||
25 | The facility director of the Chester Mental Health Center | ||||||
26 | may authorize the temporary use of transport devices on a civil |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | recipient when necessary in the course of transport of the | ||||||
2 | civil recipient outside the facility to maintain custody or | ||||||
3 | security. The decision whether to use any transport devices | ||||||
4 | shall be reviewed and approved on an individualized basis by a | ||||||
5 | physician based upon a determination of the civil recipient's: | ||||||
6 | (1) history of violence, (2) history of violence during | ||||||
7 | transports, (3) history of escapes and escape attempts, (4) | ||||||
8 | history of trauma, (5) history of incidents of restraint or | ||||||

10 | functioning level and medical status, and (7) prior experience | ||||||
11 | during similar transports, and (8) the length, duration, and | ||||||
12 | purpose of the transport. The least restrictive transport | ||||||
13 | device consistent with the individual's need shall be used. | ||||||
14 | Staff transporting the individual shall be trained in the use | ||||||
15 | of the transport devices, recognizing and responding to a | ||||||
16 | person in distress, and shall observe and monitor the | ||||||
17 | individual while being transported. The facility shall keep a | ||||||
18 | monthly record listing all transports, including those | ||||||
19 | transports for which use of transport devices was were not | ||||||
20 | sought, those for which use of transport devices was were | ||||||
21 | sought but denied, and each instance in which transport devices | ||||||
22 | are used, circumstances indicating the need for use of | ||||||
23 | transport devices, time of application of transport devices, | ||||||
24 | time of release from those devices, and any adverse events. The | ||||||
25 | facility director shall allow the Illinois Guardianship and | ||||||

3 | examine and copy the record upon request. This use of transport | ||||||
4 | devices shall not be considered restraint as defined in the | ||||||
5 | Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. For the | ||||||
6 | purpose of this Section "transport device" means ankle cuffs, | ||||||
7 | handcuffs, waist chains or wrist-waist devices designed to | ||||||
8 | restrict an individual's range of motion while being | ||||||
9 | transported. These devices must be approved by the Division of | ||||||
10 | Mental Health, used in accordance with the manufacturer's | ||||||
11 | instructions, and used only by qualified staff members who have | ||||||
12 | completed all training required to be eligible to transport | ||||||
13 | patients and all other required training relating to the safe | ||||||
14 | use and application of transport devices, including | ||||||
15 | recognizing and responding to signs of distress in an | ||||||
16 | individual whose movement is being restricted by a transport | ||||||
17 | device. | ||||||
18 | If and when it shall appear to the satisfaction of the | ||||||
19 | Department that
any person confined in the Chester Mental | ||||||
20 | Health Center is not or has
ceased to be such a source of | ||||||
21 | danger to the public as to require his
subjection to the | ||||||
22 | regimen of the center, the Department is hereby
authorized to | ||||||
23 | transfer such person to any State facility for treatment of
| ||||||
24 | persons with mental illness or habilitation of persons with | ||||||
25 | developmental
disabilities, as the nature of the individual | ||||||
26 | case may require.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Subject to the provisions of this Section, the Department, | ||||||
2 | except where
otherwise provided by law, shall, with respect to | ||||||
3 | the management, conduct
and control of the Chester Mental | ||||||
4 | Health Center and the discipline, custody
and treatment of the | ||||||
5 | persons confined therein, have and exercise the same
rights and | ||||||
6 | powers as are vested by law in the Department with respect to
| ||||||
7 | any and all of the State facilities for treatment of persons | ||||||
8 | with mental
illness or habilitation of persons with | ||||||
9 | developmental disabilities, and the
recipients thereof, and | ||||||
10 | shall be subject to the same duties as are imposed by
law upon | ||||||
11 | the Department with respect to such facilities and the | ||||||
12 | recipients
thereof. | ||||||
13 | The Department may elect to place persons who have been | ||||||
14 | ordered by the court to be detained under the Sexually Violent | ||||||
15 | Persons Commitment Act in a distinct portion of the Chester | ||||||
16 | Mental Health Center. The persons so placed shall be separated | ||||||
17 | and shall not comingle with the recipients of the Chester | ||||||
18 | Mental Health Center. The portion of Chester Mental Health | ||||||
19 | Center that is used for the persons detained under the Sexually | ||||||
20 | Violent Persons Commitment Act shall not be a part of the | ||||||
21 | mental health facility for the enforcement and implementation | ||||||
22 | of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code nor | ||||||
23 | shall their care and treatment be subject to the provisions of | ||||||
24 | the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. The | ||||||
25 | changes added to this Section by this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
26 | 98th General Assembly are inoperative on and after June 30, |

vocational schools as defined by Section 15 of the | ||||||
23 | Private Business and
Vocational Schools Act of 2012.
| ||||||
24 | (f) Beginning July 1, 1995, this Section does not apply to | ||||||
25 | those

2 | provided for in the Land Sales Registration Act
of 1989 or the | ||||||
3 | Illinois Real Estate Time-Share Act.
| ||||||
4 | (g) Notwithstanding anything that may appear in any | ||||||
5 | individual licensing statute or administrative rule, the | ||||||
6 | Department shall deny any license application or renewal | ||||||
7 | authorized under any licensing Act administered by the | ||||||
8 | Department to any person who has failed to file a return, or to | ||||||

12 | of Revenue, until such time as the requirement of any such tax | ||||||
13 | Act are satisfied; however, the Department may issue a license | ||||||
14 | or renewal if the person has established a satisfactory | ||||||
15 | repayment record as determined by the Illinois Department of | ||||||

20 | signed by its Director or designee, attesting to the amount of | ||||||
21 | the unpaid tax liability or the years for which a return was | ||||||
22 | not filed, or both, is prima facie facia evidence of the | ||||||
23 | licensee's failure to comply with the tax laws administered by | ||||||
24 | the Illinois Department of Revenue. Upon receipt of that | ||||||
25 | certification, the Department shall, without a hearing, | ||||||
26 | immediately suspend all licenses held by the licensee. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Enforcement of the Department's order shall be stayed for 60 | ||||||
2 | days. The Department shall provide notice of the suspension to | ||||||
3 | the licensee by mailing a copy of the Department's order by | ||||||
4 | certified and regular mail to the licensee's last known address | ||||||
5 | as registered with the Department. The notice shall advise the | ||||||
6 | licensee that the suspension shall be effective 60 days after | ||||||
7 | the issuance of the Department's order unless the Department | ||||||
8 | receives, from the licensee, a request for a hearing before the | ||||||
9 | Department to dispute the matters contained in the order.
| ||||||
10 | Any suspension imposed under this subsection (g) shall be | ||||||
11 | terminated by the Department upon notification from the | ||||||
12 | Illinois Department of Revenue that the licensee is in | ||||||
13 | compliance with all tax laws administered by the Illinois | ||||||
14 | Department of Revenue.
| ||||||
15 | The Department shall promulgate rules for the | ||||||
16 | administration of this subsection (g).
| ||||||
17 | (h) The Department may grant the title "Retired", to be | ||||||
18 | used immediately adjacent to the title of a profession | ||||||
19 | regulated by the Department, to eligible retirees. The use of | ||||||
20 | the title "Retired" shall not constitute representation of | ||||||
21 | current licensure, registration, or certification. Any person | ||||||
22 | without an active license, registration, or certificate in a | ||||||
23 | profession that requires licensure, registration, or | ||||||
24 | certification shall not be permitted to practice that | ||||||
25 | profession. | ||||||
26 | (i) Within 180 days after December 23, 2009 (the effective |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | date of Public Act 96-852), the Department shall promulgate | ||||||
2 | rules which permit a person with a criminal record, who seeks a | ||||||
3 | license or certificate in an occupation for which a criminal | ||||||
4 | record is not expressly a per se bar, to apply to the | ||||||
5 | Department for a non-binding, advisory opinion to be provided | ||||||
6 | by the Board or body with the authority to issue the license or | ||||||
7 | certificate as to whether his or her criminal record would bar | ||||||
8 | the individual from the licensure or certification sought, | ||||||
9 | should the individual meet all other licensure requirements | ||||||
10 | including, but not limited to, the successful completion of the | ||||||
11 | relevant examinations. | ||||||

10 | Sec. 2310-670 2310-665 . Breast cancer patient education. | ||||||
11 | (a) The General Assembly makes the following findings: | ||||||
12 | (1) Annually, about 207,090 new cases of breast cancer | ||||||
13 | are diagnosed, according to the American Cancer Society. | ||||||
14 | (2) Breast cancer has a disproportionate and | ||||||
15 | detrimental impact on African-American women and is the | ||||||
16 | most common cancer among Hispanic and Latina women. | ||||||
17 | (3) African-American women under the age of 40 have a | ||||||
18 | greater incidence of breast cancer than Caucasian women of | ||||||
19 | the same age. | ||||||
20 | (4) Individuals undergoing surgery for breast cancer | ||||||
21 | should give due consideration to the option of breast | ||||||
22 | reconstructive surgery, either at the same time as the | ||||||
23 | breast cancer surgery or at a later date. | ||||||
24 | (5) According to the American Cancer Society, | ||||||
25 | immediate breast reconstruction offers the advantage of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | combining the breast cancer surgery with the | ||||||
2 | reconstructive surgery and is cost effective. | ||||||
3 | (6) According to the American Cancer Society, delayed | ||||||
4 | breast reconstruction may be advantageous in women who | ||||||
5 | require post-surgical radiation or other treatments. | ||||||
6 | (7) A woman suffering from the loss of her breast may | ||||||
7 | not be a candidate for surgical breast reconstruction or | ||||||
8 | may choose not to undergo additional surgery and instead | ||||||
9 | choose breast prostheses. | ||||||
10 | (8) The federal Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act of | ||||||
11 | 1998 requires health plans that offer breast cancer | ||||||
12 | coverage to also provide for breast reconstruction. | ||||||
13 | (9) Required coverage for breast reconstruction | ||||||
14 | includes all the necessary stages of reconstruction. | ||||||
15 | Surgery of the opposite breast for symmetry may be | ||||||
16 | required. Breast prostheses may be necessary. Other | ||||||
17 | sequelae of breast cancer treatment, such as lymphedema, | ||||||
18 | must be covered. | ||||||
19 | (10) Several states have enacted laws to require that | ||||||
20 | women receive information on their breast cancer treatment | ||||||
21 | and reconstruction options. | ||||||
22 | (b) In this Section: | ||||||
23 | "Hispanic" has the same meaning as in Section 1707 of | ||||||
24 | the federal Public Health Services Act. | ||||||
25 | "Racial and ethnic minority group" has the same meaning | ||||||
26 | as in Section 1707 of the federal Public Health Services |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act. | ||||||
2 | (c) The Director shall provide for the planning and | ||||||
3 | implementation of an education campaign to inform breast cancer | ||||||
4 | patients, especially those in racial and ethnic minority | ||||||
5 | groups, anticipating surgery regarding the availability and | ||||||
6 | coverage of breast reconstruction, prostheses, and other | ||||||
7 | options. The
campaign shall include the dissemination, at a | ||||||
8 | minimum, on relevant State health Internet websites, including | ||||||
9 | the Department of Public Health's Internet website, of the | ||||||
10 | following information: | ||||||
11 | (1) Breast reconstruction is possible at the time of | ||||||
12 | breast cancer surgery or in a delayed fashion. | ||||||
13 | (2) Prostheses or breast forms may be available. | ||||||
14 | (3) Federal law mandates both public and private health | ||||||
15 | plans to include coverage of breast reconstruction and | ||||||
16 | prostheses. | ||||||
17 | (4) The patient has a right to choose the provider of | ||||||
18 | reconstructive care, including the potential transfer of | ||||||
19 | care to a surgeon that provides breast reconstructive care. | ||||||
20 | (5) The patient may opt to undergo breast | ||||||
21 | reconstruction in a delayed fashion for personal reasons or | ||||||
22 | after completion of all other breast cancer treatments. | ||||||
23 | The campaign may include dissemination of such other | ||||||
24 | information, whether developed by the Director or by other | ||||||
25 | entities, as the Director determines relevant.
The campaign | ||||||
26 | shall not specify, or be designed to serve as a tool to limit, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the health care providers available to patients. | ||||||
2 | (d) In developing the information to be disseminated under | ||||||
3 | this Section, the Director shall consult with appropriate | ||||||
4 | medical societies and patient advocates related to breast | ||||||
5 | cancer, patient advocates representing racial and ethnic | ||||||
6 | minority groups, with a special emphasis on African-American | ||||||
7 | and Hispanic populations' population's breast reconstructive | ||||||
8 | surgery, and breast prostheses and breast forms. | ||||||
9 | (e) Beginning no later than January 1, 2016 ( 2 years after | ||||||
10 | the effective date of Public Act 98-479) this amendatory Act of | ||||||
11 | the 98th General Assembly and continuing each second year | ||||||
12 | thereafter, the Director shall submit to the General Assembly a | ||||||
13 | report describing the activities carried out under this Section | ||||||
14 | during the preceding 2 fiscal years, including evaluating the | ||||||
15 | extent to which the activities have been effective in improving | ||||||
16 | the health of racial and ethnic minority groups.

| ||||||
18 | (20 ILCS 2310/2310-675) | ||||||
19 | (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2016) | ||||||
20 | Sec. 2310-675 2310-665 . Hepatitis C Task Force. | ||||||
21 | (a) The General Assembly finds and declares the following: | ||||||
22 | (1) Viral hepatitis is a contagious and | ||||||
23 | life-threatening disease that has a substantial and | ||||||
24 | increasing effect upon the lifespans and quality of life of | ||||||
25 | at least 5,000,000 persons living in the United States and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as many as 180,000,000 worldwide. According to the U.S. | ||||||
2 | Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the chronic | ||||||
3 | form of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus | ||||||
4 | (HBV) account for the vast majority of hepatitis-related | ||||||
5 | mortalities in the U.S., yet as many as 65% to 75% of | ||||||
6 | infected Americans remain unaware that they are infected | ||||||
7 | with the virus, prompting the U.S. Centers for Disease | ||||||
8 | Control and Prevention (CDC) to label these viruses as the | ||||||
9 | silent epidemic. HCV and HBV are major public health | ||||||
10 | problems that cause chronic liver diseases, such as | ||||||
11 | cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer. The 5-year | ||||||
12 | survival rate for primary liver cancer is less than 5%. | ||||||
13 | These viruses are also the leading cause of liver | ||||||
14 | transplantation in the United States. While there is a | ||||||
15 | vaccine for HBV, no vaccine exists for HCV. However, there | ||||||
16 | are anti-viral treatments for HCV that can improve the | ||||||
17 | prognosis or actually clear the virus from the patient's | ||||||
18 | system. Unfortunately, the vast majority of infected | ||||||
19 | patients remain unaware that they have the virus since | ||||||
20 | there are generally no symptoms. Therefore, there is a dire | ||||||
21 | need to aid the public in identifying certain risk factors | ||||||
22 | that would warrant testing for these viruses. Millions of | ||||||
23 | infected patients remain undiagnosed and continue to be at | ||||||
24 | elevated risks for developing more serious complications. | ||||||
25 | More needs to be done to educate the public about this | ||||||
26 | disease and the risk factors that warrant testing. In some |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | cases, infected patients play an unknowing role in further | ||||||
2 | spreading this infectious disease. | ||||||
3 | (2) The existence of HCV was definitively published and | ||||||
4 | discovered by medical researchers in 1989. Prior to this | ||||||
5 | date, HCV is believed to have spread unchecked. The | ||||||
6 | American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases | ||||||
7 | (AASLD) recommends that primary care physicians screen all | ||||||
8 | patients for a history of any viral hepatitis risk factor | ||||||
9 | and test those individuals with at least one identifiable | ||||||
10 | risk factor for the virus. Some of the most common risk | ||||||
11 | factors have been identified by AASLD, HHS, and the U.S. | ||||||
12 | Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as other public | ||||||
13 | health and medical research organizations, and include the | ||||||
14 | following: | ||||||
15 | (A) anyone who has received a blood transfusion | ||||||
16 | prior to 1992; | ||||||
17 | (B) anyone who is a Vietnam-era veteran; | ||||||
18 | (C) anyone who has abnormal liver function tests; | ||||||
19 | (D) anyone infected with the HIV virus; | ||||||
20 | (E) anyone who has used a needle to inject drugs; | ||||||
21 | (F) any health care, emergency medical, or public | ||||||
22 | safety worker who has been stuck by a needle or exposed | ||||||
23 | to any mucosal fluids of an HCV-infected person; and | ||||||
24 | (G) any children born to HCV-infected mothers. | ||||||
25 | A 1994 study determined that Caucasian Americans | ||||||
26 | statistically accounted for the most number of infected |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | persons in the United States, while the highest incidence | ||||||
2 | rates were among African and Hispanic Americans. | ||||||
3 | (3) In January of 2010, the Institute of Medicine | ||||||
4 | (IOM), commissioned by the CDC, issued a comprehensive | ||||||
5 | report entitled Hepatitis and Liver Cancer: A National | ||||||
6 | Strategy for Prevention and Control of Hepatitis B and C . | ||||||
7 | The key findings and recommendations from the IOM's report | ||||||
8 | are (A) there is a lack of knowledge and awareness about | ||||||
9 | chronic viral hepatitis on the part of health care and | ||||||
10 | social service providers, (B) there is a lack of knowledge | ||||||
11 | and awareness about chronic viral hepatitis among at-risk | ||||||
12 | populations, members of the public, and policy makers, and | ||||||
13 | (C) there is insufficient understanding about the extent | ||||||
14 | and seriousness of the public health problem, so inadequate | ||||||
15 | public resources are being allocated to prevention, | ||||||
16 | control, and surveillance programs. | ||||||
17 | (4) In this same 2010 IOM report, researchers compared | ||||||
18 | the prevalence and incidences of HCV, HBV, and HIV and | ||||||
19 | found that, although there are only 1,100,000 HIV/AIDS | ||||||
20 | infected persons in the United States and over 4,000,000 | ||||||
21 | Americans infected with viral hepatitis, the percentage of | ||||||
22 | those with HIV that are unaware they have HIV is only 21% | ||||||
23 | as opposed to approximately 70% of those with viral | ||||||
24 | hepatitis being unaware that they have viral hepatitis. It | ||||||
25 | appears that public awareness of risk factors associated | ||||||
26 | with each of these diseases could be a major factor in the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | alarming disparity between the percentage of the | ||||||
2 | population that is infected with one of these blood | ||||||
3 | viruses, but unaware that they are infected. | ||||||
4 | (5) In light of the widely varied nature of the risk | ||||||
5 | factors mentioned in this subsection (a), the previous | ||||||
6 | findings by the Institute of Medicine, and the clear | ||||||
7 | evidence of the disproportional public awareness between | ||||||
8 | HIV and viral hepatitis, it is clearly in the public | ||||||
9 | interest for this State to establish a task force to gather | ||||||
10 | testimony and develop an action plan to (A) increase public | ||||||
11 | awareness of the risk factors for these viruses, (B) | ||||||
12 | improve access to screening for these viruses, and (C) | ||||||
13 | provide those infected with information about the | ||||||
14 | prognosis, treatment options, and elevated risk of | ||||||
15 | developing cirrhosis and liver cancer. There is clear and | ||||||
16 | increasing evidence that many adults in Illinois and in the | ||||||
17 | United States have at least one of the risk factors | ||||||
18 | mentioned in this subsection (a). | ||||||
19 | (6) The General Assembly also finds that it is in the | ||||||
20 | public interest to bring communities of Illinois-based | ||||||
21 | veterans of American military service into familiarity | ||||||
22 | with the issues created by this disease, because many | ||||||
23 | veterans, especially Vietnam-era veterans, have at least | ||||||
24 | one of the previously enumerated risk factors and are | ||||||
25 | especially prone to being affected by this disease; and | ||||||
26 | because veterans of American military service should enjoy |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in all cases, and do enjoy in most cases, adequate access | ||||||
2 | to health care services that include medical management and | ||||||
3 | care for preexisting and long-term medical conditions, | ||||||
4 | such as infection with the hepatitis virus. | ||||||
5 | (b) There is established the Hepatitis C Task Force
within | ||||||
6 | the Department of Public Health. The purpose of the Task Force | ||||||
7 | shall be to: | ||||||
8 | (1) develop strategies to identify and address the | ||||||
9 | unmet needs of persons
with hepatitis C in order to enhance | ||||||
10 | the quality of life of persons with hepatitis C by | ||||||
11 | maximizing
productivity and independence and addressing | ||||||
12 | emotional, social, financial, and vocational
challenges of | ||||||
13 | persons with hepatitis C; | ||||||
14 | (2) develop strategies to provide persons with | ||||||
15 | hepatitis C greater access to
various treatments and other | ||||||
16 | therapeutic options that may be available; and | ||||||
17 | (3) develop strategies to improve hepatitis C | ||||||
18 | education and awareness. | ||||||
19 | (c) The Task Force shall consist of 17 members as follows: | ||||||
20 | (1) the Director of Public Health, the Director of | ||||||
21 | Veterans' Affairs, and the Director of Human Services,
or | ||||||
22 | their designees, who shall serve ex officio; | ||||||
23 | (2) ten public members who shall be appointed by
the | ||||||
24 | Director of Public Health from the medical, patient, and | ||||||
25 | service provider communities, including, but not limited | ||||||
26 | to, HCV Support, Inc.; and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) four members of the General Assembly, appointed
one | ||||||
2 | each by the President of the Senate, the Minority Leader of | ||||||
3 | the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, | ||||||
4 | and the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives. | ||||||
5 | Vacancies in the membership of the Task Force shall be | ||||||
6 | filled in the same
manner provided for in the original | ||||||
7 | appointments. | ||||||
8 | (d) The Task Force shall organize within 120 days following | ||||||
9 | the
appointment of a majority of its members and shall select a | ||||||
10 | chairperson and
vice-chairperson from among the members. The | ||||||
11 | chairperson shall appoint a
secretary, who need not be a member | ||||||
12 | of the Task Force. | ||||||
13 | (e) The public members shall serve without compensation and | ||||||
14 | shall not be reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred in the
| ||||||
15 | performance of their duties, unless funds
become available to | ||||||
16 | the Task Force. | ||||||
17 | (f) The Task Force shall be entitled to call to its | ||||||
18 | assistance and avail
itself of the services of the employees of | ||||||
19 | any State, county, or municipal
department, board, bureau, | ||||||
20 | commission, or agency as it may require and as may be
available | ||||||
21 | to it for its purposes. | ||||||
22 | (g) The Task Force may meet and hold hearings as it deems | ||||||
23 | appropriate. | ||||||
24 | (h) The Department of Public Health shall provide staff
| ||||||
25 | support to the Task Force. | ||||||
26 | (i) The Task Force shall report its findings and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | recommendations to the
Governor and to the General Assembly, | ||||||
2 | along with any legislative bills that it desires to recommend
| ||||||
3 | for adoption by the General Assembly, no later than December | ||||||
4 | 31, 2015. | ||||||
5 | (j) The Task Force is abolished and this Section is | ||||||
6 | repealed on January 1, 2016.

9 | (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2016) | ||||||
10 | Sec. 2310-680 2310-665 . Multiple Sclerosis Task Force. | ||||||
11 | (a) The General Assembly finds and declares the following: | ||||||
12 | (1) Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, often | ||||||
13 | disabling, disease that
attacks the central nervous | ||||||
14 | system, which is comprised of the brain, spinal
cord, and | ||||||
15 | optic nerves. MS is the number one disabling disease among | ||||||
16 | young adults, striking in the prime of life. It is a | ||||||
17 | disease in which the body, through its immune
system, | ||||||
18 | launches a defensive and damaging attack against its own | ||||||
19 | tissues. MS
damages the nerve-insulating myelin sheath | ||||||
20 | that surrounds and protects the
brain. The damage to the | ||||||
21 | myelin sheath slows down or blocks messages between
the | ||||||
22 | brain and the body. | ||||||
23 | (2) Most people experience their first symptoms of MS | ||||||
24 | between the ages of
20 and 40, but MS can appear in young | ||||||
25 | children and teens as well as much older adults. MS |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | symptoms can include visual disturbances, muscle weakness,
| ||||||
2 | trouble with coordination and balance, sensations such as | ||||||
3 | numbness, prickling or
pins and needles, and thought and | ||||||
4 | memory problems. MS patients can also
experience partial or | ||||||
5 | complete paralysis, speech impediments, tremors,
| ||||||
6 | dizziness, stiffness and spasms, fatigue, paresthesias, | ||||||
7 | pain, and loss of
sensation. | ||||||
8 | (3) The cause of MS remains unknown; however, having a | ||||||
9 | first-degree
relative, such as a parent or sibling, with MS | ||||||
10 | significantly increases a
person's risk of developing the | ||||||
11 | disease. According to the National Institute of
| ||||||
12 | Neurological Disorders and Stroke, it is estimated that | ||||||
13 | there are approximately
250,000 to 350,000 persons in the | ||||||
14 | United States who are diagnosed with MS. This
estimate | ||||||
15 | suggests that approximately 200 new cases are diagnosed | ||||||
16 | each week. Other sources report a population of at least | ||||||
17 | 400,000 in the United States. The estimate of persons with | ||||||
18 | MS in Illinois is 20,000, with at least 2 areas of MS | ||||||
19 | clusters identified in Illinois. | ||||||
20 | (4) Presently, there is no cure for MS. The complex and | ||||||
21 | variable nature of the disease makes it very difficult to | ||||||
22 | diagnose, treat, and research. The cost to the family, | ||||||
23 | often with young children, can be overwhelming. Among | ||||||
24 | common diagnoses, non-stroke neurologic illnesses, such as | ||||||
25 | multiple sclerosis, were associated with the highest | ||||||
26 | out-of-pocket expenditures (a mean of $34,167), followed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | by diabetes ($26,971), injuries ($25,096), stroke | ||||||
2 | ($23,380), mental illnesses ($23,178), and heart disease | ||||||
3 | ($21,955). Median out-of-pocket costs for health care | ||||||
4 | among people with MS, excluding insurance premiums, were | ||||||
5 | almost twice as much as the general population. The costs | ||||||
6 | associated with MS increase with greater disability. Costs | ||||||
7 | for severely disabled individuals are more than twice those | ||||||
8 | for persons with a relatively mild form of the disease. A | ||||||
9 | recent study of medical bankruptcy found that 62.1% of all | ||||||
10 | personal bankruptcies in the United States were related to | ||||||
11 | medical costs. | ||||||
12 | (5) Therefore, it is in the public interest for the | ||||||
13 | State to establish a
Multiple Sclerosis Task Force in order | ||||||
14 | to identify and address the unmet needs
of persons with MS | ||||||
15 | and develop ways to enhance their quality of life. | ||||||
16 | (b) There is established the Multiple Sclerosis Task Force
| ||||||
17 | in the Department of Public Health. The purpose of the Task | ||||||
18 | Force shall be to: | ||||||
19 | (1) develop strategies to identify and address the | ||||||
20 | unmet needs of persons
with MS in order to enhance the | ||||||
21 | quality of life of persons with MS by maximizing
| ||||||
22 | productivity and independence and addressing emotional, | ||||||
23 | social, financial, and vocational
challenges of persons | ||||||
24 | with MS; | ||||||
25 | (2) develop strategies to provide persons with MS | ||||||
26 | greater access to
various treatments and other therapeutic |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | options that may be available; and | ||||||
2 | (3) develop strategies to improve multiple sclerosis | ||||||
3 | education and awareness. | ||||||
4 | (c) The Task Force shall consist of 16 members as follows: | ||||||
5 | (1) the Director of Public Health and the Director of | ||||||
6 | Human Services,
or their designees, who shall serve ex | ||||||
7 | officio; and | ||||||
8 | (2) fourteen public members, who shall be appointed by | ||||||
9 | the Director of Public Health as
follows: 2 neurologists | ||||||
10 | licensed to practice medicine in this State; 3 registered | ||||||
11 | nurses or other health professionals with MS certification | ||||||
12 | and extensive expertise with progressed MS; one
person upon | ||||||
13 | the recommendation of the National Multiple Sclerosis | ||||||
14 | Society; 3 persons who represent agencies that provide | ||||||
15 | services
or support to individuals with MS in this State; 3 | ||||||
16 | persons who have MS, at least one of whom having progressed | ||||||
17 | MS; and
2 members of the public with a demonstrated | ||||||
18 | expertise in issues relating to
the work of the Task Force. | ||||||
19 | Vacancies in the membership of the Task Force shall be | ||||||
20 | filled in the same
manner provided for in the original | ||||||
21 | appointments. | ||||||
22 | (d) The Task Force shall organize within 120 days following | ||||||
23 | the
appointment of a majority of its members and shall select a | ||||||
24 | chairperson and
vice-chairperson from among the members. The | ||||||
25 | chairperson shall appoint a
secretary who need not be a member | ||||||
26 | of the Task Force. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (e) The public members shall serve without compensation and | ||||||
2 | shall not be reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred in the
| ||||||
3 | performance of their duties unless funds
become available to | ||||||
4 | the Task Force. | ||||||
5 | (f) The Task Force may meet and hold hearings as it deems | ||||||
6 | appropriate. | ||||||
7 | (g) The Department of Public Health shall provide staff
| ||||||
8 | support to the Task Force. | ||||||
9 | (h) The Task Force shall report its findings and | ||||||
10 | recommendations to the
Governor and to the General Assembly, | ||||||
11 | along with any legislative bills that it desires to recommend
| ||||||
12 | for adoption by the General Assembly, no later than December | ||||||
13 | 31, 2015. | ||||||
14 | (i) The Task Force is abolished and this Section is | ||||||

| ||||||
17 | Section 95. The Disabilities Services Act of 2003 is | ||||||
18 | amended by changing Section 10 as follows:
| ||||||
19 | (20 ILCS 2407/10)
| ||||||
20 | Sec. 10. Application of Act; definitions.
| ||||||
21 | (a) This Act
applies to persons with disabilities. The | ||||||
22 | disabilities included are
defined for purposes of this Act as | ||||||
23 | follows:
| ||||||
24 | "Disability" means a disability as defined by the Americans
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with Disabilities Act of 1990 that is attributable to a
| ||||||
2 | developmental disability, a mental illness, or a physical
| ||||||
3 | disability, or combination of those.
| ||||||
4 | "Developmental disability" means a disability that is
| ||||||
5 | attributable to an intellectual disability or a related | ||||||
6 | condition. A
related condition must meet all of the following | ||||||
7 | conditions:
| ||||||
8 | (1) It must be attributable to cerebral palsy,
| ||||||
9 | epilepsy, or any other condition (other than
mental | ||||||
10 | illness) found to be closely related to an intellectual | ||||||
11 | disability because that condition results in impairment of
| ||||||
12 | general intellectual functioning or adaptive behavior | ||||||
13 | similar
to that of individuals with an intellectual | ||||||
14 | disability, and requires
treatment or services similar to | ||||||
15 | those required for those
individuals. For purposes of this | ||||||
16 | Section, autism is considered a related
condition.
| ||||||
17 | (2) It must be manifested before the individual reaches
| ||||||
18 | age 22.
| ||||||
19 | (3) It must be likely to continue indefinitely.
| ||||||
20 | (4) It must result in substantial functional
| ||||||
21 | limitations in 3 or more of the following areas of major | ||||||
22 | life
activity: self-care, language, learning, mobility, | ||||||
23 | self-direction, and capacity

4 | (12) Motion to Vacate, Modify, or Reconsider. Under | ||||||
5 | Section 2-1203 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the | ||||||
6 | petitioner or any party entitled to notice may file a | ||||||
7 | motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider the order granting | ||||||
8 | or denying the petition to expunge or seal within 60 days | ||||||
9 | of service of the order. If filed more than 60 days after | ||||||
10 | service of the order, a petition to vacate, modify, or | ||||||
11 | reconsider shall comply with subsection (c) of Section | ||||||

13 | motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider, notice of the | ||||||
14 | motion shall be served upon the petitioner and all parties | ||||||

16 | (13) Effect of Order. An order granting a petition | ||||||
17 | under the expungement or sealing provisions of this Section | ||||||
18 | shall not be considered void because it fails to comply | ||||||
19 | with the provisions of this Section or because of any error | ||||||
20 | asserted in a motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider. The | ||||||
21 | circuit court retains jurisdiction to determine whether | ||||||
22 | the order is voidable and to vacate, modify, or reconsider | ||||||
23 | its terms based on a motion filed under paragraph (12) of | ||||||
24 | this subsection (d). | ||||||
25 | (14) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to Seal | ||||||
26 | Records. Unless a court has entered a stay of an order |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | granting a petition to seal, all parties entitled to notice | ||||||
2 | of the petition must fully comply with the terms of the | ||||||
3 | order within 60 days of service of the order even if a | ||||||
4 | party is seeking relief from the order through a motion | ||||||
5 | filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is | ||||||
6 | appealing the order. | ||||||
7 | (15) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to | ||||||
8 | Expunge Records. While a party is seeking relief from the | ||||||
9 | order granting the petition to expunge through a motion | ||||||
10 | filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is | ||||||
11 | appealing the order, and unless a court has entered a stay | ||||||
12 | of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the | ||||||
13 | petition must seal, but need not expunge, the records until | ||||||
14 | there is a final order on the motion for relief or, in the | ||||||
15 | case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's mandate. | ||||||

8 | Section 130. The Illinois Power Agency Act is amended by | ||||||

| ||||||
10 | (20 ILCS 3855/1-57)
| ||||||
11 | Sec. 1-57. Facility financing. | ||||||
12 | (a) The Agency shall have the power (1) to borrow from the | ||||||
13 | Authority, through one or more Agency loan agreements, the net | ||||||
14 | proceeds of revenue bonds for costs incurred in connection with | ||||||
15 | the development and construction of a facility, provided that | ||||||
16 | the stated maturity date of any of those revenue bonds shall | ||||||
17 | not exceed 40 years from their respective issuance dates, (2) | ||||||
18 | to accept prepayments from purchasers of electric energy from a | ||||||
19 | project and to apply the same to costs incurred in connection | ||||||
20 | with the development and construction of a facility, subject to | ||||||
21 | any obligation to refund the same under the circumstances | ||||||
22 | specified in the purchasers' contract for the purchase and sale | ||||||
23 | of electric energy from that project, (3) to enter into leases | ||||||
24 | or similar arrangements to finance the property constituting a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | part of a project and associated costs incurred in connection | ||||||
2 | with the development and construction of a facility, provided | ||||||
3 | that the term of any such lease or similar arrangement shall | ||||||
4 | not exceed 40 years from its inception, and (4) to enter into | ||||||
5 | agreements for the sale of revenue bonds that bear interest at | ||||||
6 | a rate or rates not exceeding the maximum rate permitted by the | ||||||
7 | Bond Authorization Act. All Agency loan agreements shall | ||||||
8 | include terms making the obligations thereunder subject to | ||||||
9 | redemption before maturity. | ||||||
10 | (b) The Agency may from time to time engage the services of | ||||||
11 | the Authority, attorneys, appraisers, architects, engineers, | ||||||
12 | accountants, credit analysts, bond underwriters, bond | ||||||
13 | trustees, credit enhancement providers, and other financial | ||||||
14 | professionals and consultants, if the Agency deems it | ||||||
15 | advisable. | ||||||
16 | (c) The Agency may pledge, as security for the payment of | ||||||
17 | its revenue bonds in respect of a project, (1) revenues derived | ||||||
18 | from the operation of the project in part or whole, (2) the | ||||||
19 | real and personal property, machinery, equipment, structures, | ||||||
20 | fixtures, and inventories directly associated with the | ||||||
21 | project, (3) grants or other revenues or taxes expected to be | ||||||
22 | received by the Agency directly linked to the project, (4) | ||||||
23 | payments to be made by another governmental unit or other | ||||||
24 | entity pursuant to a service, user, or other similar agreement | ||||||
25 | with that governmental unit or other entity that is a result of | ||||||
26 | the project, (5) any other revenues or moneys deposited or to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be deposited directly linked to the project, (6) all design, | ||||||
2 | engineering, procurement, construction, installation, | ||||||
3 | management, and operation agreements associated with the | ||||||
4 | project, (7) any reserve or debt service funds created under | ||||||
5 | the agreements governing the indebtedness, (8) the Illinois | ||||||
6 | Power Agency Facilities Fund or the Illinois Power Agency Debt | ||||||
7 | Service Fund, or (9) any combination thereof. Any such pledge | ||||||
8 | shall be authorized in a writing, signed by the Director of the | ||||||
9 | Agency, and then signed by the Governor of Illinois. At no time | ||||||
10 | shall the funds contained in the Illinois Power Agency Trust | ||||||
11 | Fund be pledged or used in any way to pay for the indebtedness | ||||||
12 | of the Agency. The Director shall not authorize the issuance or | ||||||
13 | grant of any pledge until he or she has certified that any | ||||||
14 | associated project is in full compliance with Sections 1-85 and | ||||||
15 | 1-86 of this Act. The certification shall be duly attached or | ||||||
16 | referenced in the agreements reflecting the pledge. Any such | ||||||
17 | pledge made by the Agency shall be valid and binding from the | ||||||
18 | time the pledge is made. The revenues, property, or funds that | ||||||
19 | are pledged and thereafter received by the Agency shall | ||||||
20 | immediately be subject to the lien of the pledge without any | ||||||
21 | physical delivery thereof or further act; and, subject only to | ||||||
22 | the provisions of prior liens, the lien of the pledge shall be | ||||||
23 | valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any | ||||||
24 | kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the Agency | ||||||
25 | irrespective of whether the parties have notice thereof. All | ||||||
26 | bonds issued on behalf of the Agency must be issued by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Authority and must be revenue bonds. These revenue bonds may be | ||||||
2 | taxable or tax-exempt. | ||||||
3 | (d) All indebtedness issued by or on behalf of the Agency, | ||||||
4 | including, without limitation, any revenue bonds issued by the | ||||||
5 | Authority on behalf of the Agency, shall not be a debt of the | ||||||
6 | State, the Authority, any political subdivision thereof (other | ||||||
7 | than the Agency to the extent provided in agreements governing | ||||||
8 | the indebtedness), any local government, any governmental | ||||||
9 | aggregator as defined in the this Act, or any local government, | ||||||
10 | and none of the State, the Authority, any political subdivision | ||||||
11 | thereof (other than the Agency to the extent provided in | ||||||
12 | agreements governing the indebtedness), any local government, | ||||||
13 | or any government aggregator shall be liable thereon. Neither | ||||||
14 | the Authority nor the Agency shall have the power to pledge the | ||||||
15 | credit, the revenues, or the taxing power of the State, any | ||||||
16 | political subdivision thereof (other than the Agency), any | ||||||
17 | governmental aggregator, or of any local government, and | ||||||
18 | neither the credit, the revenues, nor the taxing power of the | ||||||
19 | State, any political subdivision thereof (other than the | ||||||
20 | Agency), any governmental aggregator, or any local government | ||||||
21 | shall be, or shall be deemed to be, pledged to the payment of | ||||||
22 | any revenue bonds, notes, or other obligations of the Agency. | ||||||
23 | In addition, the agreements governing any issue of indebtedness | ||||||
24 | shall provide that all holders of that indebtedness, by virtue | ||||||
25 | of their acquisition thereof, have agreed to waive and release | ||||||
26 | all claims and causes of action against the State of Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in respect of the indebtedness or any project associated | ||||||
2 | therewith based on any theory of law. However, the waiver shall | ||||||
3 | not prohibit the holders of indebtedness issued on behalf of | ||||||
4 | the Agency from filing any cause of action against or | ||||||
5 | recovering damages from the Agency, recovering from any | ||||||
6 | property or funds pledged to secure the indebtedness, or | ||||||
7 | recovering from any property or funds to which the Agency holds | ||||||
8 | title, provided the property or funds are directly associated | ||||||
9 | with the project for which the indebtedness was specifically | ||||||
10 | issued. Each evidence of indebtedness of the Agency, including | ||||||
11 | the revenue bonds issued by the Authority on behalf of the | ||||||
12 | Agency, shall contain a clear and explicit statement of the | ||||||
13 | provisions of this Section. | ||||||
14 | (e) The Agency may from time to time enter into an | ||||||
15 | agreement or agreements to defease indebtedness issued on its | ||||||
16 | behalf or to refund, at maturity, at a redemption date or in | ||||||
17 | advance of either, any indebtedness issued on its behalf or | ||||||
18 | pursuant to redemption provisions or at any time before | ||||||
19 | maturity. All such refunding indebtedness shall be subject to | ||||||
20 | the requirements set forth in subsections (a), (c), and (d) of | ||||||
21 | this Section. No revenue bonds issued to refund or advance | ||||||
22 | refund revenue bonds issued under this Section may mature later | ||||||
23 | than the longest maturity date of the series of bonds being | ||||||
24 | refunded. After the aggregate original principal amount of | ||||||
25 | revenue bonds authorized in this Section has been issued, the | ||||||
26 | payment of any principal amount of those revenue bonds does not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | authorize the issuance of additional revenue bonds (except | ||||||
2 | refunding revenue bonds). | ||||||
3 | (f) If the Agency fails to pay the principal of, interest, | ||||||
4 | or premium, if any, on any indebtedness as the same becomes | ||||||
5 | due, a civil action to compel payment may be instituted in the | ||||||
6 | appropriate circuit court by the holder or holders of the | ||||||
7 | indebtedness on which the default of payment exists or by any | ||||||
8 | administrative agent, collateral agent, or indenture trustee | ||||||
9 | acting on behalf of those holders. Delivery of a summons and a | ||||||
10 | copy of the complaint to the Director of the Agency shall | ||||||
11 | constitute sufficient service to give the circuit court | ||||||
12 | jurisdiction over the subject matter of the suit and | ||||||
13 | jurisdiction over the Agency and its officers named as | ||||||
14 | defendants for the purpose of compelling that payment. Any | ||||||
15 | case, controversy, or cause of action concerning the validity | ||||||
16 | of this Act shall relate to the revenue of the Agency. Any such | ||||||
17 | claims and related proceedings are subject in all respects to | ||||||
18 | the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section. The State of | ||||||
19 | Illinois shall not be liable or in any other way financially | ||||||
20 | responsible for any indebtedness issued by or on behalf of the | ||||||
21 | Agency or the performance or non-performance of any covenants | ||||||
22 | associated with any such indebtedness. The foregoing statement | ||||||
23 | shall not prohibit the holders of any indebtedness issued on | ||||||
24 | behalf of the Agency from filing any cause of action against or | ||||||
25 | recovering damages from the Agency recovering from any property | ||||||
26 | pledged to secure that indebtedness or recovering from any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property or funds to which the Agency holds title provided such | ||||||
2 | property or funds are directly associated with the project for | ||||||
3 | which the indebtedness is specifically issued. | ||||||
4 | (g) Upon each delivery of the revenue bonds authorized to | ||||||
5 | be issued by the Authority under this Act, the Agency shall | ||||||
6 | compute and certify to the State Comptroller the total amount | ||||||
7 | of principal of and interest on the Agency loan agreement | ||||||
8 | supporting the revenue bonds issued that will be payable in | ||||||
9 | order to retire those revenue bonds and the amount of principal | ||||||
10 | of and interest on the Agency loan agreement that will be | ||||||
11 | payable on each payment date during the then current and each | ||||||
12 | succeeding fiscal year. As soon as possible after the first day | ||||||
13 | of each month, beginning on the date set forth in the Agency | ||||||
14 | loan agreement where that date specifies when the Agency shall | ||||||
15 | begin setting aside revenues and other moneys for repayment of | ||||||
16 | the revenue bonds per the agreed to schedule, the Agency shall | ||||||
17 | certify to the Comptroller and the Comptroller shall order | ||||||
18 | transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from the Illinois | ||||||
19 | Power Agency Facilities Fund to the Illinois Power Agency Debt | ||||||
20 | Service Fund for each month remaining in the State fiscal year | ||||||
21 | a sum of money, appropriated for that purpose, equal to the | ||||||
22 | result of the amount of principal of and interest on those | ||||||
23 | revenue bonds payable on the next payment date divided by the | ||||||
24 | number of full calendar months between the date of those | ||||||
25 | revenue bonds, and the first such payment date, and thereafter | ||||||
26 | divided by the number of months between each succeeding payment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | date after the first. The Comptroller is authorized and | ||||||
2 | directed to draw warrants on the State Treasurer from the | ||||||
3 | Illinois Power Agency Facilities Fund and the Illinois Power | ||||||
4 | Agency Debt Service Fund for the amount of all payments of | ||||||
5 | principal and interest on the Agency loan agreement relating to | ||||||
6 | the Authority revenue bonds issued under this Act. The State | ||||||
7 | Treasurer or the State Comptroller shall deposit or cause to be | ||||||
8 | deposited any amount of grants or other revenues expected to be | ||||||
9 | received by the Agency that the Agency has pledged to the | ||||||
10 | payment of revenue bonds directly into the Illinois Power | ||||||
11 | Agency Debt Service Fund.

| ||||||
13 | (20 ILCS 3855/1-92) | ||||||
14 | Sec. 1-92. Aggregation of electrical load by | ||||||
15 | municipalities, townships, and counties. | ||||||
16 | (a) The corporate authorities of a municipality, township | ||||||
17 | board, or county board of a county
may
adopt an ordinance under | ||||||
18 | which it may aggregate in accordance with this
Section | ||||||
19 | residential and small commercial retail electrical loads | ||||||
20 | located, respectively, within the
municipality, the township, | ||||||
21 | or the unincorporated areas of the county and, for that | ||||||
22 | purpose, may solicit bids and enter into service
agreements to | ||||||
23 | facilitate
for those
loads the sale and purchase of electricity | ||||||
24 | and related services and equipment. | ||||||
25 | The corporate authorities, township board, or county
board |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | may also exercise such authority jointly with any other | ||||||
2 | municipality, township, or county.
Two or
more
municipalities, | ||||||
3 | townships, or counties, or a combination of both, may initiate | ||||||
4 | a
process
jointly to authorize aggregation by a majority vote | ||||||
5 | of each particular
municipality, township, or
county as | ||||||
6 | required by this Section. | ||||||
7 | If the corporate authorities, township board, or the county | ||||||
8 | board seek to operate the aggregation program as an opt-out | ||||||
9 | program for residential and small commercial retail customers, | ||||||
10 | then prior to the adoption of an ordinance with respect to | ||||||
11 | aggregation of residential and small commercial retail | ||||||
12 | electric loads, the corporate authorities of a municipality, | ||||||
13 | the township board, or the county board of a county shall | ||||||
14 | submit a referendum to its residents to determine whether or | ||||||
15 | not the aggregation program shall operate as an opt-out program | ||||||
16 | for residential and small commercial retail customers. Any | ||||||
17 | county board that seeks to submit such a referendum to its | ||||||
18 | residents shall do so only in unincorporated areas of the | ||||||
19 | county where no electric aggregation ordinance has been | ||||||
20 | adopted. | ||||||
21 | In addition to the notice and conduct requirements of the | ||||||
22 | general election law, notice of the referendum shall state | ||||||
23 | briefly the purpose of the referendum. The question of whether | ||||||
24 | the corporate authorities, the township board, or the county | ||||||
25 | board shall adopt an opt-out aggregation program for | ||||||
26 | residential and small commercial retail customers shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | submitted to the electors of the municipality, township board, | ||||||
2 | or county board at a regular election and approved by a | ||||||
3 | majority of the electors voting on the question. The corporate | ||||||
4 | authorities, township board, or county board must certify to | ||||||
5 | the proper election authority, which must submit the question | ||||||
6 | at an election in accordance with the Election Code. | ||||||
7 | The election authority must submit the question in | ||||||
8 | substantially the following form: | ||||||
9 | Shall the (municipality, township, or county in which | ||||||
10 | the question is being voted upon) have the authority to | ||||||
11 | arrange for the supply of electricity for its residential | ||||||
12 | and small commercial retail customers who have not opted | ||||||
13 | out of such program? | ||||||
14 | The election authority must record the votes as "Yes" or "No". | ||||||
15 | If a majority of the electors voting on the question vote | ||||||
16 | in the affirmative, then the corporate authorities, township | ||||||
17 | board, or county board may implement an opt-out aggregation | ||||||
18 | program for residential and small commercial retail customers. | ||||||
19 | A referendum must pass in each particular municipality, | ||||||
20 | township, or county that is engaged in the aggregation program. | ||||||
21 | If the referendum fails, then the corporate authorities, | ||||||
22 | township board, or county board shall operate the aggregation | ||||||
23 | program as an opt-in program for residential and small | ||||||
24 | commercial retail customers. | ||||||
25 | An
ordinance under this Section shall specify whether the | ||||||
26 | aggregation will occur
only with
the prior consent of each |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | person owning, occupying, controlling, or using an
electric | ||||||
2 | load
center proposed to be aggregated. Nothing in this Section,
| ||||||
3 | however,
authorizes the aggregation of electric loads that are | ||||||
4 | served or authorized to be served by an electric cooperative as | ||||||
5 | defined by and pursuant to the Electric Supplier Act or loads | ||||||
6 | served by a municipality that owns and operates its own | ||||||
7 | electric distribution system. No
aggregation shall take
effect | ||||||
8 | unless
approved by a majority of the members of the corporate | ||||||
9 | authority, township board, or county board voting upon the | ||||||
10 | ordinance.
| ||||||
11 | A governmental aggregator under this Section is not a | ||||||
12 | public utility or an
alternative retail electric supplier.
| ||||||
13 | For purposes of this Section, "township" means the portion | ||||||
14 | of a township that is an unincorporated portion of a county | ||||||
15 | that is not otherwise a part of a municipality. In addition to | ||||||
16 | such other limitations as are included in this Section, a | ||||||
17 | township board shall only have authority to aggregate | ||||||
18 | residential and small commercial customer loads in accordance | ||||||
19 | with this Section if the county board of the county in which | ||||||
20 | the township is located (i) is not also submitting a referendum | ||||||
21 | to its residents at the same general election that the township | ||||||
22 | board proposes to submit a referendum under this subsection | ||||||
23 | (a), (ii) has not received authorization through passage of a | ||||||
24 | referendum to operate an opt-out aggregation program for | ||||||
25 | residential and small commercial retail customers under this | ||||||
26 | subsection (a), and (iii) has not otherwise enacted an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ordinance under this subsection (a) authorizing the operation | ||||||
2 | of an opt-in aggregation program for residential and small | ||||||
3 | commercial retail customers as described in this Section. | ||||||
4 | (b) Upon the applicable requisite authority under this | ||||||
5 | Section, the corporate
authorities, the township board, or the | ||||||
6 | county board, with assistance from the Illinois Power Agency, | ||||||
7 | shall develop a plan of operation and
governance for the
| ||||||
8 | aggregation program so authorized. Before adopting a plan under | ||||||
9 | this Section,
the
corporate authorities, township board, or | ||||||
10 | county board shall hold at least 2 public hearings on
the plan.
| ||||||
11 | Before the first hearing, the corporate authorities, township | ||||||
12 | board, or county board shall
publish notice of
the hearings | ||||||
13 | once a week for 2 consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general
| ||||||
14 | circulation
in the jurisdiction. The notice shall summarize the | ||||||
15 | plan and state the date,
time, and
location of each hearing.
| ||||||
16 | Any load aggregation plan established pursuant to this Section | ||||||
17 | shall: | ||||||
18 | (1) provide for universal
access to all applicable | ||||||
19 | residential customers and equitable treatment of | ||||||
20 | applicable
residential customers; | ||||||
21 | (2) describe demand management and energy efficiency | ||||||
22 | services to be
provided to each class of customers;
and | ||||||
23 | (3) meet any requirements established by law
| ||||||
24 | concerning aggregated service offered pursuant to this | ||||||
25 | Section. | ||||||
26 | (c) The process for soliciting bids for electricity and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | other related services and awarding proposed agreements for the | ||||||
2 | purchase of electricity and other related services shall be | ||||||
3 | conducted in the following order: | ||||||
4 | (1) The corporate authorities, township board, or | ||||||
5 | county board may solicit bids for electricity and other | ||||||
6 | related services. The bid specifications may include a | ||||||
7 | provision requiring the bidder to disclose the fuel type of | ||||||
8 | electricity to be procured or generated on behalf of the | ||||||
9 | aggregation program customers. The corporate authorities, | ||||||
10 | township board, or county board
may consider the proposed | ||||||
11 | source of electricity to be procured or generated to be put | ||||||
12 | into the grid on behalf of aggregation program customers in | ||||||
13 | the competitive
bidding process. The Agency and Commission | ||||||
14 | may collaborate to issue joint
guidance on voluntary | ||||||
15 | uniform standards for bidder disclosures of the source of
| ||||||
16 | electricity to be procured or generated to be put into the | ||||||
17 | grid on behalf of aggregation program customers. | ||||||
18 | (1.5) A township board shall request from the electric | ||||||
19 | utility those residential and small commercial customers | ||||||
20 | within their aggregate area either by zip code or zip codes | ||||||
21 | or other means as determined by the electric utility. The | ||||||
22 | electric utility shall then provide to the township board | ||||||
23 | the residential and small commercial customers, including | ||||||
24 | the names and addresses of residential and small commercial | ||||||
25 | customers, electronically. The township board shall be | ||||||
26 | responsible for authenticating the residential and small |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | commercial customers contained in this listing and | ||||||
2 | providing edits of the data to affirm, add, or delete the | ||||||
3 | residential and small commercial customers located within | ||||||
4 | its jurisdiction. The township board shall provide the | ||||||
5 | edited list to the electric utility in an electronic format | ||||||
6 | or other means selected by the electric utility and certify | ||||||
7 | that the information is accurate. | ||||||
8 | (2) Notwithstanding Section 16-122 of the Public | ||||||
9 | Utilities Act and Section 2HH of the Consumer Fraud and | ||||||
10 | Deceptive Business Practices Act, an electric utility that | ||||||
11 | provides residential and small commercial retail electric | ||||||
12 | service in the aggregate area must, upon request of the | ||||||
13 | corporate authorities, township board, or the county board | ||||||
14 | in the aggregate area, submit to the requesting party, in | ||||||
15 | an electronic format, those account numbers, names, and | ||||||
16 | addresses of residential and small commercial retail | ||||||
17 | customers in the aggregate area that are reflected in the | ||||||
18 | electric utility's records at the time of the request; | ||||||
19 | provided, however, that any township board has first | ||||||
20 | provided an accurate customer list to the electric utility | ||||||
21 | as provided for herein. | ||||||
22 | Any corporate authority, township board, or county board | ||||||
23 | receiving customer information from an electric utility shall | ||||||
24 | be subject to the limitations on the disclosure of the | ||||||
25 | information described in Section 16-122 of the Public Utilities | ||||||
26 | Act and Section 2HH of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive |
| |||||||
| |||||||

| ||||||
10 | (30 ILCS 235/2) (from Ch. 85, par. 902)
| ||||||
11 | Sec. 2. Authorized investments.
| ||||||
12 | (a) Any public agency may invest any public funds as | ||||||
13 | follows:
| ||||||
14 | (1) in bonds, notes, certificates of indebtedness, | ||||||
15 | treasury bills or
other securities now or hereafter issued, | ||||||
16 | which are guaranteed by the full
faith and credit of the | ||||||
17 | United States of America as to principal and interest;

19 | obligations of the
United States of America, its agencies, | ||||||
20 | and its instrumentalities;
| ||||||
21 | (3) in interest-bearing savings accounts, | ||||||
22 | interest-bearing
certificates of deposit or | ||||||
23 | interest-bearing time deposits or any other
investments | ||||||
24 | constituting direct obligations of any bank as defined by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the
Illinois Banking Act;
| ||||||
2 | (4) in short term obligations of corporations
| ||||||
3 | organized in the United States with assets exceeding | ||||||
4 | $500,000,000 if (i)
such obligations are rated at the time | ||||||
5 | of purchase at one of the 3 highest
classifications | ||||||
6 | established by at least 2 standard rating services and
| ||||||
7 | which mature not later than 270 days from the date of | ||||||
8 | purchase, (ii)
such purchases do not exceed 10% of the | ||||||
9 | corporation's outstanding
obligations and (iii) no more | ||||||
10 | than one-third of the public agency's funds
may be invested | ||||||
11 | in short term obligations of corporations; or
| ||||||
12 | (5) in money market mutual funds registered under the | ||||||
13 | Investment
Company Act of 1940, provided that the portfolio | ||||||
14 | of any such money market
mutual fund is limited to | ||||||
15 | obligations described in paragraph (1) or (2) of this
| ||||||
16 | subsection and to agreements to repurchase such | ||||||
17 | obligations.
| ||||||
18 | (a-1) In addition to any other investments authorized under | ||||||
19 | this Act, a
municipality, park district, forest preserve | ||||||
20 | district, conservation district, county, or other governmental | ||||||
21 | unit may invest its public funds in interest bearing bonds of | ||||||
22 | any
county, township, city, village, incorporated town, | ||||||
23 | municipal corporation, or
school district, of the State of | ||||||
24 | Illinois, of any other state, or of
any political subdivision | ||||||
25 | or
agency of the State of Illinois or of any other state, | ||||||
26 | whether the interest
earned thereon is taxable or tax-exempt |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under federal law. The bonds shall
be registered in the name of | ||||||
2 | the municipality, park district, forest preserve district, | ||||||
3 | conservation district, county, or other governmental unit, or | ||||||
4 | held under a custodial agreement at a bank. The bonds shall be | ||||||
5 | rated at the
time of purchase within the 4 highest general | ||||||
6 | classifications established by a
rating service of nationally | ||||||
7 | recognized expertise in rating bonds of states and
their | ||||||
8 | political subdivisions.
| ||||||
9 | (b) Investments may be made only in banks which are insured | ||||||
10 | by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Any public agency | ||||||
11 | may invest any
public funds in short term discount obligations | ||||||
12 | of the Federal National
Mortgage Association or in shares or | ||||||
13 | other forms of securities legally
issuable by savings banks or | ||||||
14 | savings and loan associations incorporated under
the laws of | ||||||
15 | this State or any other state or under the laws of the United
| ||||||
16 | States. Investments may be made only in those savings banks or | ||||||
17 | savings and
loan associations the shares, or investment | ||||||
18 | certificates of which are insured
by the Federal Deposit | ||||||
19 | Insurance Corporation. Any such securities may be
purchased at | ||||||
20 | the offering or market price thereof at the time of such
| ||||||
21 | purchase. All such securities so purchased shall mature or be | ||||||
22 | redeemable on
a date or dates prior to the time when, in the | ||||||
23 | judgment of
such governing authority, the public funds so | ||||||
24 | invested will be required
for expenditure by such public agency | ||||||
25 | or its governing authority. The
expressed judgment of any such | ||||||
26 | governing authority as to the time when
any public funds will |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be required for expenditure or be redeemable is
final and | ||||||
2 | conclusive. Any public agency may invest any public funds in
| ||||||
3 | dividend-bearing share accounts, share certificate accounts or | ||||||
4 | class of
share accounts of a credit union chartered under the | ||||||
5 | laws of this State
or the laws of the United States; provided, | ||||||
6 | however, the principal office
of any such credit union must be | ||||||
7 | located within the State of Illinois.
Investments may be made | ||||||
8 | only in those credit unions the accounts of which
are insured | ||||||
9 | by applicable law.
| ||||||
10 | (c) For purposes of this Section, the term "agencies of the | ||||||
11 | United States
of America" includes: (i) the federal land banks, | ||||||
12 | federal intermediate
credit banks, banks for cooperative, | ||||||
13 | federal farm credit banks, or any other
entity authorized to | ||||||
14 | issue debt obligations under the Farm Credit Act of
1971 (12 | ||||||
15 | U.S.C. 2001 et seq.) and Acts amendatory thereto; (ii) the | ||||||
16 | federal
home loan banks and the federal home loan mortgage | ||||||
17 | corporation; and (iii)
any other agency created by Act of | ||||||
18 | Congress.
| ||||||
19 | (d) Except for pecuniary interests permitted under | ||||||
20 | subsection (f) of
Section 3-14-4 of the Illinois Municipal Code | ||||||
21 | or under Section 3.2 of
the Public Officer Prohibited Practices | ||||||
22 | Act, no person acting as treasurer
or financial officer or who | ||||||
23 | is employed in any similar capacity by or for a
public agency | ||||||
24 | may do any of the following:
| ||||||
25 | (1) have any interest, directly or indirectly, in any | ||||||
26 | investments in
which the agency is authorized to invest.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) have any interest, directly or indirectly, in the | ||||||
2 | sellers,
sponsors, or managers of those investments.
| ||||||
3 | (3) receive, in any manner, compensation of any kind | ||||||
4 | from any
investments in which the agency is authorized to | ||||||
5 | invest.
| ||||||
6 | (e) Any public agency may also invest any public funds in a | ||||||
7 | Public
Treasurers' Investment Pool created under Section 17 of | ||||||
8 | the State Treasurer
Act. Any public agency may also invest any | ||||||
9 | public funds in a fund managed,
operated, and administered by a | ||||||
10 | bank, subsidiary of a bank, or
subsidiary of a bank holding | ||||||
11 | company or use the services of such an entity to
hold and | ||||||
12 | invest or advise regarding the investment of any public funds.
| ||||||
13 | (f) To the extent a public agency has custody of funds not | ||||||
14 | owned by it or
another public agency and does not otherwise | ||||||
15 | have authority to invest
such funds, the public agency may | ||||||
16 | invest such funds as if they were its
own. Such funds must be | ||||||
17 | released to the appropriate person at the
earliest reasonable | ||||||
18 | time, but in no case exceeding 31 days, after the
private | ||||||
19 | person becomes entitled to the receipt of them. All earnings
| ||||||
20 | accruing on any investments or deposits made pursuant to the | ||||||
21 | provisions
of this Act shall be credited to the public agency | ||||||
22 | by or for which such
investments or deposits were made, except | ||||||
23 | as provided otherwise in Section
4.1 of the State Finance Act | ||||||
24 | or the Local Governmental Tax Collection Act,
and except where | ||||||
25 | by specific statutory provisions such earnings are
directed to | ||||||
26 | be credited to and paid to a particular fund.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (g) A public agency may purchase or invest in repurchase | ||||||
2 | agreements of
government securities having the meaning set out | ||||||
3 | in the Government
Securities Act of 1986, as now or hereafter | ||||||
4 | amended or succeeded, subject to the provisions of said Act and | ||||||
5 | the
regulations issued thereunder. The government securities, | ||||||
6 | unless
registered or inscribed in the name of the public | ||||||
7 | agency, shall be
purchased through banks or trust companies | ||||||
8 | authorized to do business in the
State of Illinois.
| ||||||
9 | (h) Except for repurchase agreements of government | ||||||
10 | securities which are
subject to the Government Securities Act | ||||||
11 | of 1986, as now or hereafter amended or succeeded, no public | ||||||
12 | agency may
purchase or invest in instruments which constitute | ||||||
13 | repurchase agreements,
and no financial institution may enter | ||||||
14 | into such an agreement with or on
behalf of any public agency | ||||||
15 | unless the instrument and the transaction meet
the following | ||||||
16 | requirements:
| ||||||
17 | (1) The securities, unless registered or inscribed in | ||||||
18 | the name of the
public agency, are purchased through banks | ||||||
19 | or trust companies authorized to
do business in the State | ||||||
20 | of Illinois.
| ||||||
21 | (2) An authorized public officer after ascertaining | ||||||
22 | which firm will give
the most favorable rate of interest, | ||||||
23 | directs the custodial bank to
"purchase" specified | ||||||
24 | securities from a designated institution.
The "custodial | ||||||
25 | bank" is the bank or trust company, or agency of
| ||||||
26 | government, which acts for the public agency in connection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with repurchase
agreements involving the investment of | ||||||
2 | funds by the public agency. The
State Treasurer may act as | ||||||
3 | custodial bank for public agencies executing
repurchase | ||||||
4 | agreements. To the extent the Treasurer acts in this | ||||||
5 | capacity,
he is hereby authorized to pass through to such | ||||||
6 | public agencies any charges
assessed by the Federal Reserve | ||||||
7 | Bank.
| ||||||
8 | (3) A custodial bank must be a member bank of the | ||||||
9 | Federal Reserve System
or maintain accounts with member | ||||||
10 | banks. All transfers of book-entry
securities must be | ||||||
11 | accomplished on a Reserve Bank's computer records
through a | ||||||
12 | member bank of the Federal Reserve System. These securities | ||||||
13 | must
be credited to the public agency on the records of the | ||||||
14 | custodial bank and
the transaction must be confirmed in | ||||||
15 | writing to the public agency by
the custodial bank.
| ||||||
16 | (4) Trading partners shall be limited to banks or trust | ||||||
17 | companies
authorized to do business in the State of | ||||||
18 | Illinois or to registered primary
reporting dealers.
| ||||||
19 | (5) The security interest must be perfected.
| ||||||
20 | (6) The public agency enters into a written master | ||||||
21 | repurchase agreement
which outlines the basic | ||||||
22 | responsibilities and liabilities of both buyer and
seller.
| ||||||
23 | (7) Agreements shall be for periods of 330 days or | ||||||
24 | less.
| ||||||
25 | (8) The authorized public officer of the public agency | ||||||
26 | informs the
custodial bank in writing of the maturity |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | details of the repurchase agreement.
| ||||||
2 | (9) The custodial bank must take delivery of and | ||||||
3 | maintain the
securities in its custody for the account of | ||||||
4 | the public agency and confirm
the transaction in writing to | ||||||
5 | the public agency. The Custodial Undertaking
shall provide | ||||||
6 | that the custodian takes possession of the securities
| ||||||
7 | exclusively for the public agency; that the securities are | ||||||
8 | free of any
claims against the trading partner; and any | ||||||
9 | claims by the custodian are
subordinate to the public | ||||||
10 | agency's claims to rights to those securities.
| ||||||
11 | (10) The obligations purchased by a public agency may | ||||||
12 | only be sold or
presented for redemption or payment by the | ||||||
13 | fiscal agent bank or trust
company holding the obligations | ||||||
14 | upon the written instruction of the
public agency or | ||||||
15 | officer authorized to make such investments.
| ||||||
16 | (11) The custodial bank shall be liable to the public | ||||||
17 | agency for any
monetary loss suffered by the public agency | ||||||
18 | due to the failure of the
custodial bank to take and | ||||||
19 | maintain possession of such securities.
| ||||||
20 | (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions on | ||||||
21 | investment in
instruments constituting repurchase agreements | ||||||
22 | the Illinois Housing
Development Authority may invest in, and | ||||||
23 | any financial institution with
capital of at least $250,000,000 | ||||||
24 | may act as custodian for, instruments
that constitute | ||||||
25 | repurchase agreements, provided that the Illinois Housing
| ||||||
26 | Development Authority, in making each such investment, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | complies with the
safety and soundness guidelines for engaging | ||||||
2 | in repurchase transactions
applicable to federally insured | ||||||
3 | banks, savings banks, savings and loan
associations or other | ||||||
4 | depository institutions as set forth in the Federal
Financial | ||||||
5 | Institutions Examination Council Policy Statement Regarding
| ||||||
6 | Repurchase Agreements and any regulations issued, or which may | ||||||
7 | be issued by the
supervisory federal authority pertaining | ||||||
8 | thereto and any amendments thereto;
provided further that the | ||||||
9 | securities shall be either (i) direct general
obligations of, | ||||||
10 | or obligations the payment of the principal of and/or interest
| ||||||
11 | on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States | ||||||
12 | of America or
(ii) any obligations of any agency, corporation | ||||||
13 | or subsidiary thereof
controlled or supervised by and acting as | ||||||
14 | an instrumentality of the United
States Government pursuant to | ||||||
15 | authority granted by the Congress of the United
States and | ||||||
16 | provided further that the security interest must be perfected | ||||||
17 | by
either the Illinois Housing Development Authority, its | ||||||
18 | custodian or its agent
receiving possession of the securities | ||||||
19 | either physically or transferred through
a nationally | ||||||
20 | recognized book entry system.
| ||||||
21 | (j) In addition to all other investments authorized
under | ||||||
22 | this Section, a community college district may
invest public | ||||||
23 | funds in any mutual funds that
invest primarily in corporate | ||||||
24 | investment grade or global government short term
bonds.
| ||||||
25 | Purchases of mutual funds that invest primarily in global | ||||||
26 | government short
term bonds shall be limited to funds with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assets of at least $100 million and
that are rated at the time | ||||||
2 | of purchase as one of the 10 highest classifications
| ||||||
3 | established by a recognized rating service. The investments | ||||||
4 | shall be subject
to approval by the local community college | ||||||
5 | board of trustees. Each community
college board of trustees | ||||||
6 | shall develop a policy regarding the percentage of
the | ||||||
7 | college's investment portfolio that can be invested in such | ||||||
8 | funds.
| ||||||
9 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize an
| ||||||
10 | intergovernmental risk management entity to accept the deposit | ||||||
11 | of public funds
except for risk management purposes.
| ||||||

14 | (30 ILCS 235/6.5) | ||||||
15 | Sec. 6.5. Federally insured deposits at Illinois financial | ||||||
16 | institutions. | ||||||
17 | (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or any | ||||||
18 | other statute, whenever a public agency invests public funds in | ||||||
19 | an interest-bearing savings account, interest-bearing | ||||||
20 | certificate of deposit, or interest-bearing time deposit under | ||||||
21 | Section 2 of this Act, the provisions of Section 6 of this Act | ||||||
22 | and any other statutory requirements pertaining to the | ||||||
23 | eligibility of a bank to receive or hold public deposits or to | ||||||
24 | the pledging of collateral by a bank to secure public deposits | ||||||
25 | do not apply to any bank receiving or holding all or part of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the invested public funds if (i) the public agency initiates | ||||||
2 | the investment at or through a bank located in Illinois and | ||||||
3 | (ii) the invested public funds are at all times time fully | ||||||
4 | insured by an agency or instrumentality of the federal | ||||||
5 | government. | ||||||
6 | (b) Nothing in this Section is intended to: | ||||||
7 | (1) prohibit a public agency from requiring the bank at | ||||||
8 | or through which the investment of public funds is | ||||||
9 | initiated to provide the public agency with the information | ||||||
10 | otherwise required by subsection subsections (a), (b), or | ||||||
11 | (c) of Section 6 of this Act as a condition of investing | ||||||
12 | the public funds at or through that bank; or | ||||||
13 | (2) permit a bank to receive or hold public deposits if | ||||||
14 | that bank is prohibited from doing so by any rule, | ||||||
15 | sanction, or order issued by a regulatory agency or by a | ||||||
16 | court. | ||||||
17 | (c) For purposes of this Section, the term "bank" includes | ||||||
18 | any person doing a banking business whether subject to the laws | ||||||
19 | of this or any other jurisdiction.

| ||||||
19 | Tax Replacement Income Tax shall be in addition to the income | ||||||
20 | tax imposed

and subsection (c) of this Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in the case of a corporation, other

10 | (d-1) Rate reduction for certain foreign insurers. In the | ||||||
11 | case of a

12 | Illinois Insurance Code,
whose state or country of domicile | ||||||
13 | imposes on insurers domiciled in Illinois
a retaliatory tax | ||||||
14 | (excluding any insurer
whose premiums from reinsurance assumed | ||||||
15 | are 50% or more of its total insurance
premiums as determined | ||||||
16 | under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304,
except | ||||||
17 | that for purposes of this determination premiums from | ||||||
18 | reinsurance do
not include premiums from inter-affiliate | ||||||
19 | reinsurance arrangements),
beginning with taxable years ending | ||||||
20 | on or after December 31, 1999,
the sum of
the rates of tax | ||||||
21 | imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
| ||||||
22 | increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed | ||||||
23 | under this Act,
net of all credits allowed under this Act, | ||||||
24 | shall equal (i) the total amount of
tax that would be imposed | ||||||
25 | on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to
Illinois for | ||||||
26 | the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes | ||||||
2 | and taxes
measured by net income imposed by such foreign | ||||||
3 | insurer's state or country of
domicile, net of all credits | ||||||
4 | allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is
imposed on such | ||||||
5 | income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile.
For the | ||||||
6 | purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate includes | ||||||
7 | a
mutual insurer under common management. | ||||||
8 | (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event | ||||||
9 | shall the sum of the
rates of tax imposed by subsections | ||||||
10 | (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at
which the sum of: | ||||||
11 | (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign | ||||||
12 | insurer under
this Act for a taxable year, net of all | ||||||
13 | credits allowed under this Act, plus | ||||||
14 | (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the | ||||||
15 | Illinois Insurance
Code, the fire insurance company | ||||||
16 | tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire
Investigation | ||||||
17 | Act, and the fire department taxes imposed under | ||||||
18 | Section 11-10-1
of the Illinois Municipal Code, | ||||||
19 | equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December 31, | ||||||
20 | 2003, or
1.75% for taxable years ending on or after | ||||||
21 | December 31, 2003, of the net
taxable premiums written for | ||||||
22 | the taxable year,
as described by subsection (1) of Section | ||||||
23 | 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code.
This paragraph will in | ||||||
24 | no event increase the rates imposed under subsections
(b) | ||||||
25 | and (d). | ||||||
26 | (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection shall be
applied first against the rates imposed | ||||||
2 | by subsection (b) and only after the
tax imposed by | ||||||
3 | subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this | ||||||
4 | Section
other than the credit allowed under subsection (i) | ||||||
5 | has been reduced to zero,
against the rates imposed by | ||||||
6 | subsection (d). | ||||||
7 | This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of | ||||||
8 | Section 250. | ||||||
9 | (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
| ||||||
10 | against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
| ||||||
11 | investment in qualified property. | ||||||
12 | (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5% | ||||||
13 | of
the basis of qualified property placed in service during | ||||||
14 | the taxable year,
provided such property is placed in | ||||||
15 | service on or after
July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an | ||||||
16 | additional credit equal
to .5% of the basis of qualified | ||||||
17 | property placed in service during the
taxable year, | ||||||
18 | provided such property is placed in service on or
after | ||||||
19 | July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment
within | ||||||
20 | Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding | ||||||
21 | year as
determined by the taxpayer's employment records | ||||||
22 | filed with the
Illinois Department of Employment Security. | ||||||
23 | Taxpayers who are new to
Illinois shall be deemed to have | ||||||
24 | met the 1% growth in base employment for
the first year in | ||||||
25 | which they file employment records with the Illinois
| ||||||
26 | Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this Section by
Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public | ||||||
2 | Act 87-895) shall be
construed as declaratory of existing | ||||||
3 | law and not as a new enactment. If,
in any year, the | ||||||
4 | increase in base employment within Illinois over the
| ||||||
5 | preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall | ||||||
6 | be limited to that
percentage times a fraction, the | ||||||
7 | numerator of which is .5% and the denominator
of which is | ||||||
8 | 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall | ||||||
9 | not be
allowed to the extent that it would reduce a | ||||||
10 | taxpayer's liability in any tax
year below zero, nor may | ||||||
11 | any credit for qualified property be allowed for any
year | ||||||
12 | other than the year in which the property was placed in | ||||||
13 | service in
Illinois. For tax years ending on or after | ||||||
14 | December 31, 1987, and on or
before December 31, 1988, the | ||||||
15 | credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
which the | ||||||
16 | property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the | ||||||
17 | credit
exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it | ||||||
18 | exceeds the original
liability or the liability as later | ||||||
19 | amended, such excess may be carried
forward and applied to | ||||||
20 | the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following
the | ||||||
21 | excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments | ||||||
22 | which cause
the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time | ||||||
23 | equivalent jobs in Illinois,
(ii) is located in an | ||||||
24 | enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
| ||||||
25 | Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the | ||||||
26 | Department of Commerce
and Community Affairs (now |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as | ||||||
2 | complying with the requirements specified in
clause (i) and | ||||||
3 | (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
| ||||||
4 | Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
5 | Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all | ||||||
6 | such
certifications immediately. For tax years ending | ||||||
7 | after December 31, 1988,
the credit shall be allowed for | ||||||
8 | the tax year in which the property is
placed in service, | ||||||
9 | or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
liability | ||||||
10 | for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or | ||||||
11 | the
liability as later amended, such excess may be carried | ||||||
12 | forward and applied
to the tax liability of the 5 taxable | ||||||
13 | years following the excess credit
years. The credit shall | ||||||
14 | be applied to the earliest year for which there is
a | ||||||
15 | liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year | ||||||
16 | that is
available to offset a liability, earlier credit | ||||||
17 | shall be applied first. | ||||||
18 | (2) The term "qualified property" means property | ||||||
19 | which: | ||||||
20 | (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including | ||||||
21 | buildings and structural
components of buildings and | ||||||
22 | signs that are real property, but not including
land or | ||||||
23 | improvements to real property that are not a structural | ||||||
24 | component of a
building such as landscaping, sewer | ||||||
25 | lines, local access roads, fencing, parking
lots, and | ||||||
26 | other appurtenances; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the | ||||||
2 | Internal Revenue Code,
except that "3-year property" | ||||||
3 | as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that
Code is not | ||||||
4 | eligible for the credit provided by this subsection | ||||||
5 | (e); | ||||||
6 | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
7 | 179(d) of
the Internal Revenue Code; | ||||||
8 | (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is | ||||||
9 | primarily engaged in
manufacturing, or in mining coal | ||||||
10 | or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service | ||||||
11 | on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment | ||||||
12 | Zone established pursuant to the River Edge | ||||||
13 | Redevelopment Zone Act; and | ||||||
14 | (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in | ||||||
15 | such a manner and by
such a person as would qualify for | ||||||
16 | the credit provided by this subsection
(e) or | ||||||
17 | subsection (f). | ||||||
18 | (3) For purposes of this subsection (e), | ||||||
19 | "manufacturing" means
the material staging and production | ||||||
20 | of tangible personal property by
procedures commonly | ||||||
21 | regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
| ||||||
22 | assembling which changes some existing material into new | ||||||
23 | shapes, new
qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of | ||||||
24 | this subsection
(e) the term "mining" shall have the same | ||||||
25 | meaning as the term "mining" in
Section 613(c) of the | ||||||
26 | Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection
(e), |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal | ||||||
2 | property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
| ||||||
3 | services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible | ||||||
4 | personal property for use or consumption and not for | ||||||
5 | resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible | ||||||
6 | personal property" has the same meaning as when that term | ||||||
7 | is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for | ||||||
8 | taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not | ||||||
9 | include the generation, transmission, or distribution of | ||||||
10 | electricity. | ||||||
11 | (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
| ||||||
12 | used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal | ||||||
13 | income tax purposes. | ||||||
14 | (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax | ||||||
15 | depreciation
purposes is increased after it has been placed | ||||||
16 | in service in Illinois by
the taxpayer, the amount of such | ||||||
17 | increase shall be deemed property placed
in service on the | ||||||
18 | date of such increase in basis. | ||||||
19 | (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
| ||||||
20 | meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
21 | (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
| ||||||
22 | be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within | ||||||
23 | 48 months after
being placed in service, or the situs of | ||||||
24 | any qualified property is
moved outside Illinois within 48 | ||||||
25 | months after being placed in service, the
Personal Property | ||||||
26 | Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i) | ||||||
2 | recomputing the
investment credit which would have been | ||||||
3 | allowed for the year in which
credit for such property was | ||||||
4 | originally allowed by eliminating such
property from such | ||||||
5 | computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
| ||||||
6 | from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the | ||||||
7 | purposes of this
paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of | ||||||
8 | qualified property resulting
from a redetermination of the | ||||||
9 | purchase price shall be deemed a disposition
of qualified | ||||||
10 | property to the extent of such reduction. | ||||||
11 | (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law, | ||||||
12 | the
basis of qualified property shall not include costs | ||||||
13 | incurred after
December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred | ||||||
14 | pursuant to a binding
contract entered into on or before | ||||||
15 | December 31, 2018. | ||||||
16 | (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000, | ||||||
17 | a partnership may
elect to pass through to its
partners the | ||||||
18 | credits to which the partnership is entitled under this | ||||||
19 | subsection
(e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the | ||||||
20 | credit allocated to him or her
under this paragraph only | ||||||
21 | against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of
this | ||||||
22 | Section. If the partnership makes that election, those | ||||||
23 | credits shall be
allocated among the partners in the | ||||||
24 | partnership in accordance with the rules
set forth in | ||||||
25 | Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
| ||||||
26 | promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the credits shall
be allowed to the partners for that | ||||||
2 | taxable year. The partnership shall make
this election on | ||||||
3 | its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
| ||||||
4 | that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits | ||||||
5 | shall be
irrevocable. | ||||||
6 | For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000, | ||||||
7 | a
partner that qualifies its
partnership for a subtraction | ||||||
8 | under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of
subsection (d) | ||||||
9 | of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter | ||||||
10 | S
corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of | ||||||
11 | paragraph (2) of
subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be | ||||||
12 | allowed a credit under this subsection
(e) equal to its | ||||||
13 | share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
| ||||||
14 | the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S | ||||||
15 | corporation, determined in
accordance with the | ||||||
16 | determination of income and distributive share of
income | ||||||
17 | under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal | ||||||
18 | Revenue
Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions | ||||||
19 | of Section 250. | ||||||
20 | (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge | ||||||
21 | Redevelopment Zone. | ||||||
22 | (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the | ||||||
23 | tax imposed
by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for | ||||||
24 | investment in qualified
property which is placed in service | ||||||
25 | in an Enterprise Zone created
pursuant to the Illinois | ||||||
26 | Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone | ||||||
2 | established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone | ||||||
3 | Act. For partners, shareholders
of Subchapter S | ||||||
4 | corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
| ||||||
5 | if the liability company is treated as a partnership for | ||||||
6 | purposes of
federal and State income taxation, there shall | ||||||
7 | be allowed a credit under
this subsection (f) to be | ||||||
8 | determined in accordance with the determination
of income | ||||||
9 | and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 | ||||||
10 | and
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit | ||||||
11 | shall be .5% of the
basis for such property. The credit | ||||||
12 | shall be available only in the taxable
year in which the | ||||||
13 | property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or | ||||||
14 | River Edge Redevelopment Zone and
shall not be allowed to | ||||||
15 | the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's
liability for | ||||||
16 | the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section | ||||||
17 | to
below zero. For tax years ending on or after December | ||||||
18 | 31, 1985, the credit
shall be allowed for the tax year in | ||||||
19 | which the property is placed in
service, or, if the amount | ||||||
20 | of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that
year, | ||||||
21 | whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability | ||||||
22 | as later
amended, such excess may be carried forward and | ||||||
23 | applied to the tax
liability of the 5 taxable years | ||||||
24 | following the excess credit year.
The credit shall be | ||||||
25 | applied to the earliest year for which there is a
| ||||||
26 | liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that is available
to offset a liability, the credit | ||||||
2 | accruing first in time shall be applied
first. | ||||||
3 | (2) The term qualified property means property which: | ||||||
4 | (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including | ||||||
5 | buildings and
structural components of buildings; | ||||||
6 | (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the | ||||||
7 | Internal Revenue
Code, except that "3-year property" | ||||||
8 | as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of
that Code is not | ||||||
9 | eligible for the credit provided by this subsection | ||||||
10 | (f); | ||||||
11 | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
12 | 179(d) of
the Internal Revenue Code; | ||||||
13 | (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge | ||||||
14 | Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and | ||||||
15 | (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in | ||||||
16 | such a manner and by
such a person as would qualify for | ||||||
17 | the credit provided by this subsection
(f) or | ||||||
18 | subsection (e). | ||||||
19 | (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis | ||||||
20 | used to compute
the depreciation deduction for federal | ||||||
21 | income tax purposes. | ||||||
22 | (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax | ||||||
23 | depreciation
purposes is increased after it has been placed | ||||||
24 | in service in the Enterprise
Zone or River Edge | ||||||
25 | Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such | ||||||
26 | increase shall be deemed property
placed in service on the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | date of such increase in basis. | ||||||
2 | (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same | ||||||
3 | meaning as under
Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
4 | (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to | ||||||
5 | be qualified
property in the hands of the taxpayer within | ||||||
6 | 48 months after being placed
in service, or the situs of | ||||||
7 | any qualified property is moved outside the
Enterprise Zone | ||||||
8 | or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after | ||||||
9 | being placed in service, the tax
imposed under subsections | ||||||
10 | (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year
shall be | ||||||
11 | increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i) | ||||||
12 | recomputing
the investment credit which would have been | ||||||
13 | allowed for the year in which
credit for such property was | ||||||
14 | originally allowed by eliminating such
property from such | ||||||
15 | computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
| ||||||
16 | from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the | ||||||
17 | purposes of this
paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of | ||||||
18 | qualified property resulting
from a redetermination of the | ||||||
19 | purchase price shall be deemed a disposition
of qualified | ||||||
20 | property to the extent of such reduction. | ||||||
21 | (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal | ||||||
22 | to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in | ||||||
23 | service during the taxable year in a River Edge | ||||||
24 | Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in | ||||||
25 | service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base | ||||||
26 | employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's | ||||||
2 | employment records filed with the Illinois Department of | ||||||
3 | Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois | ||||||
4 | shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base | ||||||
5 | employment for the first year in which they file employment | ||||||
6 | records with the Illinois Department of Employment | ||||||
7 | Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment | ||||||
8 | within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%, | ||||||
9 | the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage | ||||||
10 | times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the | ||||||
11 | denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.
| ||||||
12 | (g) (Blank). | ||||||
13 | (h) Investment credit; High Impact Business. | ||||||
14 | (1) Subject to subsections (b) and (b-5) of Section
5.5 | ||||||
15 | of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, a taxpayer shall be | ||||||
16 | allowed a credit
against the tax imposed by subsections (a) | ||||||
17 | and (b) of this Section for
investment in qualified
| ||||||
18 | property which is placed in service by a Department of | ||||||
19 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity
designated High Impact | ||||||
20 | Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis
for such | ||||||
21 | property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the | ||||||
22 | minimum
investments in qualified property set forth in | ||||||
23 | subdivision (a)(3)(A) of
Section 5.5 of the Illinois
| ||||||
24 | Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied
or (ii) until the | ||||||
25 | time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois
| ||||||
26 | Enterprise Zone Act for entities designated as High Impact |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Businesses under
subdivisions (a)(3)(B), (a)(3)(C), and | ||||||
2 | (a)(3)(D) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
Enterprise Zone | ||||||
3 | Act, and shall not be allowed to the extent that it would
| ||||||
4 | reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by | ||||||
5 | subsections (a) and (b) of
this Section to below zero. The | ||||||
6 | credit applicable to such investments shall be
taken in the | ||||||
7 | taxable year in which such investments have been completed. | ||||||
8 | The
credit for additional investments beyond the minimum | ||||||
9 | investment by a designated
high impact business authorized | ||||||
10 | under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of
the Illinois | ||||||
11 | Enterprise Zone Act shall be available only in the taxable | ||||||
12 | year in
which the property is placed in service and shall | ||||||
13 | not be allowed to the extent
that it would reduce a | ||||||
14 | taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections
(a) | ||||||
15 | and (b) of this Section to below zero.
For tax years ending | ||||||
16 | on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be
allowed | ||||||
17 | for the tax year in which the property is placed in | ||||||
18 | service, or, if
the amount of the credit exceeds the tax | ||||||
19 | liability for that year, whether
it exceeds the original | ||||||
20 | liability or the liability as later amended, such
excess | ||||||
21 | may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of | ||||||
22 | the 5
taxable years following the excess credit year. The | ||||||
23 | credit shall be
applied to the earliest year for which | ||||||
24 | there is a liability. If there is
credit from more than one | ||||||
25 | tax year that is available to offset a liability,
the | ||||||
26 | credit accruing first in time shall be applied first. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act | ||||||
2 | 88-670
restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and | ||||||
3 | reflect existing law. | ||||||
4 | (2) The term qualified property means property which: | ||||||
5 | (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including | ||||||
6 | buildings and
structural components of buildings; | ||||||
7 | (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the | ||||||
8 | Internal Revenue
Code, except that "3-year property" | ||||||
9 | as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of
that Code is not | ||||||
10 | eligible for the credit provided by this subsection | ||||||
11 | (h); | ||||||
12 | (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
13 | 179(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code; and | ||||||
14 | (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone | ||||||
15 | Investment Credit provided
by subsection (f) of this | ||||||
16 | Section. | ||||||
17 | (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis | ||||||
18 | used to compute
the depreciation deduction for federal | ||||||
19 | income tax purposes. | ||||||
20 | (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax | ||||||
21 | depreciation
purposes is increased after it has been placed | ||||||
22 | in service in a federally
designated Foreign Trade Zone or | ||||||
23 | Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer,
the amount of | ||||||
24 | such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
| ||||||
25 | the date of such increase in basis. | ||||||
26 | (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | meaning as under
Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
2 | (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before | ||||||
3 | December 31, 1996,
any property ceases to be qualified
| ||||||
4 | property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months | ||||||
5 | after being placed
in service, or the situs of any | ||||||
6 | qualified property is moved outside
Illinois within 48 | ||||||
7 | months after being placed in service, the tax imposed
under | ||||||
8 | subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable | ||||||
9 | year shall
be increased. Such increase shall be determined | ||||||
10 | by (i) recomputing the
investment credit which would have | ||||||
11 | been allowed for the year in which
credit for such property | ||||||
12 | was originally allowed by eliminating such
property from | ||||||
13 | such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed | ||||||
14 | credit
from the amount of credit previously allowed. For | ||||||
15 | the purposes of this
paragraph (6), a reduction of the | ||||||
16 | basis of qualified property resulting
from a | ||||||
17 | redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a | ||||||
18 | disposition
of qualified property to the extent of such | ||||||
19 | reduction. | ||||||
20 | (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31, | ||||||
21 | 1996, if a
taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this | ||||||
22 | subsection (h) and thereby is
granted a tax abatement and | ||||||
23 | the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in
violation of | ||||||
24 | the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
| ||||||
25 | 18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under | ||||||
26 | subsections
(a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for the taxable year
in which the taxpayer relocated its | ||||||
2 | facility by an amount equal to the
amount of credit | ||||||
3 | received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h). | ||||||
4 | (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income | ||||||
5 | Tax.
For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit | ||||||
6 | shall be allowed
against the tax imposed by
subsections (a) and | ||||||
7 | (b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c)
and | ||||||
8 | (d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by | ||||||
9 | multiplying the tax
imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this | ||||||
10 | Section by a fraction, the numerator
of which is base income | ||||||
11 | allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is
Illinois | ||||||
12 | base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax | ||||||
13 | rate
imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section. | ||||||
14 | Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under
this | ||||||
15 | subsection which is unused in the year
the credit is computed | ||||||
16 | because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by
subsections (a) | ||||||
17 | and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
| ||||||
18 | liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried | ||||||
19 | forward and
applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections | ||||||
20 | (a) and (b) of the 5
taxable years following the excess credit | ||||||
21 | year, provided that no credit may
be carried forward to any | ||||||
22 | year ending on or
after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
| ||||||
23 | applied first to the earliest year for which there is a | ||||||
24 | liability. If
there is a credit under this subsection from more | ||||||
25 | than one tax year that is
available to offset a liability the | ||||||
26 | earliest credit arising under this
subsection shall be applied |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | first. | ||||||
2 | If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31, | ||||||
3 | 1986, the
tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this | ||||||
4 | Section for which a taxpayer
has claimed a credit under this | ||||||
5 | subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of
credit for such tax | ||||||
6 | shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be
determined by | ||||||
7 | recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
| ||||||
8 | imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
| ||||||
9 | reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different | ||||||
10 | taxable year, an
amended return shall be filed for such taxable | ||||||
11 | year to reduce the amount of
credit claimed. | ||||||
12 | (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years | ||||||
13 | ending on or
after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31, | ||||||
14 | 2003, a taxpayer shall be
allowed a credit against the
tax | ||||||
15 | imposed by subsections (a) and (b) under this Section
for all | ||||||
16 | amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons
employed by | ||||||
17 | the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed
outside | ||||||
18 | of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational | ||||||
19 | training in
semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled | ||||||
20 | or skilled fields, which
were deducted from gross income in the | ||||||
21 | computation of taxable income. The
credit against the tax | ||||||
22 | imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of
such | ||||||
23 | training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
| ||||||
24 | corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the | ||||||
25 | liability
company is treated as a partnership for purposes of | ||||||
26 | federal and State income
taxation, there shall be allowed a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | credit under this subsection (j) to be
determined in accordance | ||||||
2 | with the determination of income and distributive
share of | ||||||
3 | income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the | ||||||
4 | Internal
Revenue Code. | ||||||
5 | Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in | ||||||
6 | the year
the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of | ||||||
7 | the 5 taxable
years following the year for which the credit is | ||||||
8 | first computed until it is
used. This credit shall be applied | ||||||
9 | first to the earliest year for which
there is a liability. If | ||||||
10 | there is a credit under this subsection from more
than one tax | ||||||
11 | year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
| ||||||
12 | credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No | ||||||
13 | carryforward
credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or | ||||||
14 | after
December 31, 2003. | ||||||
15 | (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending | ||||||
16 | after July 1, 1990 and prior to
December 31, 2003, and | ||||||
17 | beginning again for tax years ending on or after December 31, | ||||||
18 | 2004, and ending prior to January 1, 2016, a taxpayer shall be
| ||||||
19 | allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and | ||||||
20 | (b) of this
Section for increasing research activities in this | ||||||
21 | State. The credit
allowed against the tax imposed by | ||||||
22 | subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal
to 6 1/2% of the | ||||||
23 | qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities
in | ||||||
24 | this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S | ||||||
25 | corporations, and
owners of limited liability companies, if the | ||||||
26 | liability company is treated as a
partnership for purposes of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | federal and State income taxation, there shall be
allowed a | ||||||
2 | credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance | ||||||
3 | with the
determination of income and distributive share of | ||||||
4 | income under Sections 702 and
704 and subchapter S of the | ||||||
5 | Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
6 | For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures" | ||||||
7 | means the
qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal | ||||||
8 | credit for increasing
research activities which would be | ||||||
9 | allowable under Section 41 of the
Internal Revenue Code and | ||||||
10 | which are conducted in this State, "qualifying
expenditures for | ||||||
11 | increasing research activities in this State" means the
excess | ||||||
12 | of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which | ||||||
13 | incurred
over qualifying expenditures for the base period, | ||||||
14 | "qualifying expenditures
for the base period" means the average | ||||||
15 | of the qualifying expenditures for
each year in the base | ||||||
16 | period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years
immediately | ||||||
17 | preceding the taxable year for which the determination is
being | ||||||
18 | made. | ||||||
19 | Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable | ||||||
20 | year
may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
| ||||||
21 | unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over | ||||||
22 | as a credit
against the tax liability for the following 5 | ||||||
23 | taxable years or until it has
been fully used, whichever occurs | ||||||
24 | first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending | ||||||
25 | prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year | ||||||
26 | ending on or after December 31, 2003. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from | ||||||
2 | 2 or more
earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest | ||||||
3 | year will be applied
first against the tax liability for the | ||||||
4 | given year. If a tax liability for
the given year still | ||||||
5 | remains, the credit from the next earliest year will
then be | ||||||
6 | applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
| ||||||
7 | liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused | ||||||
8 | credit or
credits then will be carried forward to the next | ||||||
9 | following year in which a
tax liability is incurred, except | ||||||
10 | that no credit can be carried forward to
a year which is more | ||||||
11 | than 5 years after the year in which the expense for
which the | ||||||
12 | credit is given was incurred. | ||||||
13 | No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
14 | 91st General
Assembly in construing this Section for taxable | ||||||
15 | years beginning before January
1, 1999. | ||||||
16 | (l) Environmental Remediation Tax Credit. | ||||||
17 | (i) For tax years ending after December 31, 1997 and on | ||||||
18 | or before
December 31, 2001, a taxpayer shall be allowed a | ||||||
19 | credit against the tax
imposed by subsections (a) and (b) | ||||||
20 | of this Section for certain amounts paid
for unreimbursed | ||||||
21 | eligible remediation costs, as specified in this | ||||||
22 | subsection.
For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed | ||||||
23 | eligible remediation costs" means
costs approved by the | ||||||
24 | Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
| ||||||
25 | Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were | ||||||
26 | paid in performing
environmental remediation at a site for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | which a No Further Remediation Letter
was issued by the | ||||||
2 | Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the | ||||||
3 | Environmental
Protection Act. The credit must be claimed | ||||||
4 | for the taxable year in which
Agency approval of the | ||||||
5 | eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is
not | ||||||
6 | available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related | ||||||
7 | party caused or
contributed to, in any material respect, a | ||||||
8 | release of regulated substances on,
in, or under the site | ||||||
9 | that was identified and addressed by the remedial
action | ||||||
10 | pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the | ||||||
11 | Environmental Protection
Act. After the Pollution Control | ||||||
12 | Board rules are adopted pursuant to the
Illinois | ||||||
13 | Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and | ||||||
14 | enforcement of
Section 58.9 of the Environmental | ||||||
15 | Protection Act, determinations as to credit
availability | ||||||
16 | for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with | ||||||
17 | those
rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer" | ||||||
18 | includes a person whose tax
attributes the taxpayer has | ||||||
19 | succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal
Revenue Code | ||||||
20 | and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a | ||||||
21 | deduction
for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of | ||||||
22 | Section 267 of the Internal
Revenue Code by virtue of being | ||||||
23 | a related taxpayer, as well as any of its
partners. The | ||||||
24 | credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) | ||||||
25 | and
(b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible | ||||||
26 | remediation costs in
excess of $100,000 per site, except |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply
to any site | ||||||
2 | contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the | ||||||
3 | Department of
Commerce and Community Affairs (now | ||||||
4 | Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The | ||||||
5 | total credit allowed shall not exceed
$40,000 per year with | ||||||
6 | a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
| ||||||
7 | shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be | ||||||
8 | allowed a credit
under this subsection to be determined in | ||||||
9 | accordance with the determination of
income and | ||||||
10 | distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
| ||||||
11 | subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
12 | (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is | ||||||
13 | unused in the year
the credit is earned may be carried | ||||||
14 | forward to each of the 5 taxable years
following the year | ||||||
15 | for which the credit is first earned until it is used.
The | ||||||
16 | term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of | ||||||
17 | unreimbursed eligible
remediation costs in excess of the | ||||||
18 | maximum credit per site authorized under
paragraph (i). | ||||||
19 | This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year
for | ||||||
20 | which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this | ||||||
21 | subsection
from more than one tax year that is available to | ||||||
22 | offset a liability, the
earliest credit arising under this | ||||||
23 | subsection shall be applied first. A
credit allowed under | ||||||
24 | this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale
of | ||||||
25 | all or part of the remediation site for which the credit | ||||||
26 | was granted. The
purchaser of a remediation site and the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | tax credit shall succeed to the unused
credit and remaining | ||||||
2 | carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
| ||||||
3 | transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the | ||||||
4 | chain of title for the
site and provide written notice to | ||||||
5 | the Director of the Illinois Department of
Revenue of the | ||||||
6 | assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the | ||||||
7 | amount of
the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of | ||||||
8 | the sale. In no event may a
credit be transferred to any | ||||||
9 | taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would
not be | ||||||
10 | eligible under the provisions of subsection (i). | ||||||
11 | (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site" | ||||||
12 | shall have the same
meaning as under Section 58.2 of the | ||||||
13 | Environmental Protection Act. | ||||||
14 | (m) Education expense credit. Beginning with tax years | ||||||
15 | ending after
December 31, 1999, a taxpayer who
is the custodian | ||||||
16 | of one or more qualifying pupils shall be allowed a credit
| ||||||
17 | against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this | ||||||
18 | Section for
qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of | ||||||
19 | the qualifying pupils.
The credit shall be equal to 25% of | ||||||
20 | qualified education expenses, but in no
event may the total | ||||||
21 | credit under this subsection claimed by a
family that is the
| ||||||
22 | custodian of qualifying pupils exceed $500. In no event shall a | ||||||
23 | credit under
this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability | ||||||
24 | under this Act to less than
zero. This subsection is exempt | ||||||
25 | from the provisions of Section 250 of this
Act. | ||||||
26 | For purposes of this subsection: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | "Qualifying pupils" means individuals who (i) are | ||||||
2 | residents of the State of
Illinois, (ii) are under the age of | ||||||

which a credit is | ||||||
4 | sought, and (iii) during the school year for which a credit
is | ||||||
5 | sought were full-time pupils enrolled in a kindergarten through | ||||||
6 | twelfth
grade education program at any school, as defined in | ||||||
7 | this subsection. | ||||||
8 | "Qualified education expense" means the amount incurred
on | ||||||
9 | behalf of a qualifying pupil in excess of $250 for tuition, | ||||||
10 | book fees, and
lab fees at the school in which the pupil is | ||||||
11 | enrolled during the regular school
year. | ||||||
12 | "School" means any public or nonpublic elementary or | ||||||
13 | secondary school in
Illinois that is in compliance with Title | ||||||
14 | VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
and attendance at which | ||||||
15 | satisfies the requirements of Section 26-1 of the
School Code, | ||||||
16 | except that nothing shall be construed to require a child to
| ||||||
17 | attend any particular public or nonpublic school to qualify for | ||||||
18 | the credit
under this Section. | ||||||
19 | "Custodian" means, with respect to qualifying pupils, an | ||||||
20 | Illinois resident
who is a parent, the parents, a legal | ||||||
21 | guardian, or the legal guardians of the
qualifying pupils. | ||||||
22 | (n) River Edge Redevelopment Zone site remediation tax | ||||||
23 | credit.
| ||||||
24 | (i) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 2006, | ||||||
25 | a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax | ||||||
26 | imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | certain amounts paid for unreimbursed eligible remediation | ||||||
2 | costs, as specified in this subsection. For purposes of | ||||||
3 | this Section, "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs" | ||||||
4 | means costs approved by the Illinois Environmental | ||||||
5 | Protection Agency ("Agency") under Section 58.14a of the | ||||||
6 | Environmental Protection Act that were paid in performing | ||||||
7 | environmental remediation at a site within a River Edge | ||||||
8 | Redevelopment Zone for which a No Further Remediation | ||||||
9 | Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section | ||||||
10 | 58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must | ||||||
11 | be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval of | ||||||
12 | the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is | ||||||
13 | not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any | ||||||
14 | related party caused or contributed to, in any material | ||||||
15 | respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or under | ||||||
16 | the site that was identified and addressed by the remedial | ||||||
17 | action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the | ||||||
18 | Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to credit | ||||||
19 | availability for purposes of this Section shall be made | ||||||
20 | consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution Control | ||||||
21 | Board pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure | ||||||
22 | Act for the administration and enforcement of Section 58.9 | ||||||
23 | of the Environmental Protection Act. For purposes of this | ||||||

25 | the taxpayer has succeeded to under Section 381 of the | ||||||
26 | Internal Revenue Code and "related party" includes the |

4 | of its partners. The credit allowed against the tax imposed | ||||||
5 | by subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the | ||||||
6 | unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of | ||||||
7 | $100,000 per site. | ||||||
8 | (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is | ||||||
9 | unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried | ||||||
10 | forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year | ||||||
11 | for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This | ||||||
12 | credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for | ||||||
13 | which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this | ||||||
14 | subsection from more than one tax year that is available to | ||||||
15 | offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this | ||||||
16 | subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under | ||||||
17 | this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of | ||||||
18 | all or part of the remediation site for which the credit | ||||||
19 | was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the | ||||||
20 | tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining | ||||||
21 | carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the | ||||||
22 | transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the | ||||||
23 | chain of title for the site and provide written notice to | ||||||
24 | the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the | ||||||
25 | assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the | ||||||
26 | amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any | ||||||
2 | taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be | ||||||
3 | eligible under the provisions of subsection (i). | ||||||
4 | (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site" | ||||||
5 | shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the | ||||||
6 | Environmental Protection Act. | ||||||
7 | (o) For each of taxable years during the Compassionate Use | ||||||
8 | of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program, a surcharge is imposed on | ||||||
9 | all taxpayers on income arising from the sale or exchange of | ||||||
10 | capital assets, depreciable business property, real property | ||||||
11 | used in the trade or business, and Section 197 intangibles of | ||||||
12 | an organization registrant under the Compassionate Use of | ||||||
13 | Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act. The amount of the surcharge | ||||||
14 | is equal to the amount of federal income tax liability for the | ||||||
15 | taxable year attributable to those sales and exchanges. The | ||||||
16 | surcharge imposed does not apply if: | ||||||
17 | (1) the medical cannabis cultivation center | ||||||
18 | registration, medical cannabis dispensary registration, or | ||||||
19 | the property of a registration is transferred as a result | ||||||
20 | of any of the following: | ||||||
21 | (A) bankruptcy, a receivership, or a debt | ||||||
22 | adjustment initiated by or against the initial | ||||||
23 | registration or the substantial owners of the initial | ||||||

25 | (B) cancellation, revocation, or termination of | ||||||
26 | any registration by the Illinois Department of Public |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Health; | ||||||
2 | (C) a determination by the Illinois Department of | ||||||
3 | Public Health that transfer of the registration is in | ||||||
4 | the best interests of Illinois qualifying patients as | ||||||
5 | defined by the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis | ||||||
6 | Pilot Program Act; | ||||||
7 | (D) the death of an owner of the equity interest in | ||||||
8 | a registrant; | ||||||
9 | (E) the acquisition of a controlling interest in | ||||||
10 | the stock or substantially all of the assets of a | ||||||
11 | publicly traded company; | ||||||
12 | (F) a transfer by a parent company to a wholly | ||||||
13 | owned subsidiary; or | ||||||
14 | (G) the transfer or sale to or by one person to | ||||||
15 | another person where both persons were initial owners | ||||||
16 | of the registration when the registration was issued; | ||||||
17 | or | ||||||
18 | (2) the cannabis cultivation center registration, | ||||||
19 | medical cannabis dispensary registration, or the | ||||||
20 | controlling interest in a registrant's property is | ||||||
21 | transferred in a transaction to lineal descendants in which | ||||||
22 | no gain or loss is recognized or as a result of a | ||||||

| ||||||
3 | Sec. 304. Business income of persons other than residents.
| ||||||
4 | (a) In general. The business income of a person other than | ||||||
5 | a
resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's | ||||||
6 | business
income is derived solely from this State. If a person | ||||||
7 | other than a
resident derives business income from this State | ||||||
8 | and one or more other
states, then, for tax years ending on or | ||||||
9 | before December 30, 1998, and
except as otherwise provided by | ||||||
10 | this Section, such
person's business income shall be | ||||||
11 | apportioned to this State by
multiplying the income by a | ||||||
12 | fraction, the numerator of which is the sum
of the property | ||||||
13 | factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the
| ||||||
14 | sales factor (if any), and the denominator of which is 4 | ||||||
15 | reduced by the
number of factors other than the sales factor | ||||||
16 | which have a denominator
of zero and by an additional 2 if the | ||||||
17 | sales factor has a denominator of zero.
For tax years ending on | ||||||
18 | or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise
provided by | ||||||
19 | this Section, persons other than
residents who derive business | ||||||
20 | income from this State and one or more other
states shall | ||||||
21 | compute their apportionment factor by weighting their | ||||||
22 | property,
payroll, and sales factors as provided in
subsection | ||||||
23 | (h) of this Section.
| ||||||
24 | (1) Property factor.
| ||||||
25 | (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | which is the
average value of the person's real and | ||||||
2 | tangible personal property owned
or rented and used in the | ||||||
3 | trade or business in this State during the
taxable year and | ||||||
4 | the denominator of which is the average value of all
the | ||||||
5 | person's real and tangible personal property owned or | ||||||
6 | rented and
used in the trade or business during the taxable | ||||||
7 | year.
| ||||||
8 | (B) Property owned by the person is valued at its | ||||||
9 | original cost.
Property rented by the person is valued at 8 | ||||||
10 | times the net annual rental
rate. Net annual rental rate is | ||||||
11 | the annual rental rate paid by the
person less any annual | ||||||
12 | rental rate received by the person from
sub-rentals.
| ||||||
13 | (C) The average value of property shall be determined | ||||||
14 | by averaging
the values at the beginning and ending of the | ||||||
15 | taxable year but the
Director may require the averaging of | ||||||
16 | monthly values during the taxable
year if reasonably | ||||||
17 | required to reflect properly the average value of the
| ||||||
18 | person's property.
| ||||||
19 | (2) Payroll factor.
| ||||||
20 | (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of | ||||||
21 | which is the
total amount paid in this State during the | ||||||
22 | taxable year by the person
for compensation, and the | ||||||
23 | denominator of which is the total compensation
paid | ||||||
24 | everywhere during the taxable year.
| ||||||
25 | (B) Compensation is paid in this State if:
| ||||||
26 | (i) The individual's service is performed entirely |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | within this
State;
| ||||||
2 | (ii) The individual's service is performed both | ||||||
3 | within and without
this State, but the service | ||||||
4 | performed without this State is incidental
to the | ||||||
5 | individual's service performed within this State; or
| ||||||
6 | (iii) Some of the service is performed within this | ||||||
7 | State and either
the base of operations, or if there is | ||||||
8 | no base of operations, the place
from which the service | ||||||
9 | is directed or controlled is within this State,
or the | ||||||
10 | base of operations or the place from which the service | ||||||
11 | is
directed or controlled is not in any state in which | ||||||
12 | some part of the
service is performed, but the | ||||||
13 | individual's residence is in this State.
| ||||||
14 | (iv) Compensation paid to nonresident professional | ||||||
15 | athletes. | ||||||
16 | (a) General. The Illinois source income of a | ||||||
17 | nonresident individual who is a member of a | ||||||
18 | professional athletic team includes the portion of the | ||||||
19 | individual's total compensation for services performed | ||||||
20 | as a member of a professional athletic team during the | ||||||
21 | taxable year which the number of duty days spent within | ||||||
22 | this State performing services for the team in any | ||||||
23 | manner during the taxable year bears to the total | ||||||
24 | number of duty days spent both within and without this | ||||||
25 | State during the taxable year. | ||||||
26 | (b) Travel days. Travel days that do not involve |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | either a game, practice, team meeting, or other similar | ||||||
2 | team event are not considered duty days spent in this | ||||||
3 | State. However, such travel days are considered in the | ||||||
4 | total duty days spent both within and without this | ||||||
5 | State. | ||||||
6 | (c) Definitions. For purposes of this subpart | ||||||
7 | (iv): | ||||||
8 | (1) The term "professional athletic team" | ||||||
9 | includes, but is not limited to, any professional | ||||||
10 | baseball, basketball, football, soccer, or hockey | ||||||
11 | team. | ||||||
12 | (2) The term "member of a professional | ||||||
13 | athletic team" includes those employees who are | ||||||
14 | active players, players on the disabled list, and | ||||||
15 | any other persons required to travel and who travel | ||||||
16 | with and perform services on behalf of a | ||||||
17 | professional athletic team on a regular basis. | ||||||
18 | This includes, but is not limited to, coaches, | ||||||
19 | managers, and trainers. | ||||||
20 | (3) Except as provided in items (C) and (D) of | ||||||
21 | this subpart (3), the term "duty days" means all | ||||||
22 | days during the taxable year from the beginning of | ||||||
23 | the professional athletic team's official | ||||||
24 | pre-season training period through the last game | ||||||
25 | in which the team competes or is scheduled to | ||||||
26 | compete. Duty days shall be counted for the year in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | which they occur, including where a team's | ||||||
2 | official pre-season training period through the | ||||||
3 | last game in which the team competes or is | ||||||
4 | scheduled to compete, occurs during more than one | ||||||
5 | tax year. | ||||||
6 | (A) Duty days shall also include days on | ||||||
7 | which a member of a professional athletic team | ||||||

14 | transmission, or by any other means of communication, | ||||||
15 | either through a station, a network, or a cable system. | ||||||
16 | "Film" or "film programming" means the broadcast | ||||||
17 | on television of any and all performances, events, or | ||||||
18 | productions, including but not limited to news, | ||||||
19 | sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary, | ||||||
20 | commercial, educational, or artistic works, either | ||||||
21 | live or through the use of video tape, disc, or any | ||||||
22 | other type of format or medium. Each episode of a | ||||||
23 | series of films produced for television shall | ||||||
24 | constitute separate "film" notwithstanding that the | ||||||
25 | series relates to the same principal subject and is | ||||||
26 | produced during one or more tax periods. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | "Radio" or "radio programming" means the broadcast | ||||||
2 | on radio of any and all performances, events, or | ||||||
3 | productions, including but not limited to news, | ||||||
4 | sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary, | ||||||
5 | commercial, educational, or artistic works, either | ||||||
6 | live or through the use of an audio tape, disc, or any | ||||||
7 | other format or medium. Each episode in a series of | ||||||
8 | radio programming produced for radio broadcast shall | ||||||
9 | constitute a separate "radio programming" | ||||||
10 | notwithstanding that the series relates to the same | ||||||
11 | principal subject and is produced during one or more | ||||||
12 | tax periods. | ||||||
13 | (i) In the case of advertising revenue from | ||||||
14 | broadcasting, the customer is the advertiser and | ||||||
15 | the service is received in this State if the | ||||||
16 | commercial domicile of the advertiser is in this | ||||||
17 | State. | ||||||
18 | (ii) In the case where film or radio | ||||||
19 | programming is broadcast by a station, a network, | ||||||
20 | or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration | ||||||
21 | received from the recipient of the broadcast, the | ||||||
22 | portion of the service that is received in this | ||||||
23 | State is measured by the portion of the recipients | ||||||
24 | of the broadcast located in this State. | ||||||
25 | Accordingly, the fee or other remuneration for | ||||||
26 | such service that is included in the Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | numerator of the sales factor is the total of those | ||||||
2 | fees or other remuneration received from | ||||||
3 | recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this | ||||||
4 | paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location | ||||||
5 | of the recipients of its broadcast using the | ||||||
6 | address of the recipient shown in its contracts | ||||||
7 | with the recipient or using the billing address of | ||||||
8 | the recipient in the taxpayer's records. | ||||||
9 | (iii) In the case where film or radio | ||||||
10 | programming is broadcast by a station, a network, | ||||||
11 | or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration | ||||||
12 | from the person providing the programming, the | ||||||
13 | portion of the broadcast service that is received | ||||||
14 | by such station, network, or cable system in this | ||||||
15 | State is measured by the portion of recipients of | ||||||
16 | the broadcast located in this State. Accordingly, | ||||||
17 | the amount of revenue related to such an | ||||||
18 | arrangement that is included in the Illinois | ||||||
19 | numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or | ||||||
20 | other total remuneration from the person providing | ||||||
21 | the programming related to that broadcast | ||||||
22 | multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for | ||||||
23 | that broadcast. | ||||||
24 | (iv) In the case where film or radio | ||||||
25 | programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a | ||||||
26 | network or station to a customer for broadcast in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that | ||||||
2 | customer 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 | (v) In the case where film or radio programming | ||||||
12 | is provided by a taxpayer that is not a network or | ||||||
13 | station to another person for broadcasting in | ||||||
14 | exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that | ||||||
15 | person, 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 | (B-8) Gross receipts from winnings under the Illinois | ||||||
25 | Lottery Law from the assignment of a prize under Section | ||||||
26 | 13-1 of the Illinois Lottery Law are received in this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State. This paragraph (B-8) applies only to taxable years | ||||||
2 | ending on or after December 31, 2013.
| ||||||
3 | (C) For taxable years ending before December 31, 2008, | ||||||
4 | sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1), | ||||||
5 | (B-2), and (B-8) are in
this State if:
| ||||||
6 | (i) The income-producing activity is performed in | ||||||
7 | this State; or
| ||||||
8 | (ii) The income-producing activity is performed | ||||||
9 | both within and
without this State and a greater | ||||||
10 | proportion of the income-producing
activity is | ||||||
11 | performed within this State than without this State, | ||||||
12 | based
on performance costs.
| ||||||
13 | (C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, | ||||||
14 | 2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), | ||||||
15 | (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if any of | ||||||
16 | the following criteria are met: | ||||||
17 | (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property | ||||||
18 | are in this State if the property is located in this | ||||||
19 | State. | ||||||
20 | (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible | ||||||
21 | personal property are in this State if the property is | ||||||
22 | located in this State during the rental period. Sales | ||||||
23 | from the lease or rental of tangible personal property | ||||||
24 | that is characteristically moving property, including, | ||||||
25 | but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock, | ||||||
26 | aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State to the extent that the property is used in this | ||||||
2 | State. | ||||||
3 | (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not | ||||||
4 | less than zero) and other items of income from | ||||||
5 | intangible personal property, the sale is in this State | ||||||
6 | if: | ||||||
7 | (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer | ||||||
8 | in the item of intangible personal property within | ||||||
9 | the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue | ||||||
10 | Code, the income or gain is received from a | ||||||
11 | customer in this State. For purposes of this | ||||||
12 | subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the | ||||||
13 | customer is an individual, trust or estate who is a | ||||||
14 | resident of this State and, for all other | ||||||
15 | customers, if the customer's commercial domicile | ||||||
16 | is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual | ||||||
17 | knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile | ||||||
18 | of a customer during a taxable year, the customer | ||||||
19 | shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if | ||||||
20 | the billing address of the customer, as shown in | ||||||
21 | the records of the dealer, is in this State; or | ||||||
22 | (b) in all other cases, if the | ||||||
23 | income-producing activity of the taxpayer is | ||||||
24 | performed in this State or, if the | ||||||
25 | income-producing activity of the taxpayer is | ||||||
26 | performed both within and without this State, if a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | greater proportion of the income-producing | ||||||
2 | activity of the taxpayer is performed within this | ||||||
3 | State than in any other state, based on performance | ||||||
4 | costs. | ||||||
5 | (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the | ||||||
6 | services are received in this State. For the purposes | ||||||
7 | of this section, gross receipts from the performance of | ||||||
8 | services provided to a corporation, partnership, or | ||||||
9 | trust may only be attributed to a state where that | ||||||
10 | corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place of | ||||||
11 | business. If the state where the services are received | ||||||
12 | is not readily determinable or is a state where the | ||||||
13 | corporation, partnership, or trust receiving the | ||||||
14 | service does not have a fixed place of business, the | ||||||
15 | services shall be deemed to be received at the location | ||||||
16 | of the office of the customer from which the services | ||||||
17 | were ordered in the regular course of the customer's | ||||||
18 | trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be | ||||||
19 | determined, the services shall be deemed to be received | ||||||
20 | at the office of the customer to which the services are | ||||||
21 | billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in | ||||||
22 | which the services are received, the sale must be | ||||||
23 | excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of | ||||||
24 | the sales factor. The Department shall adopt rules | ||||||
25 | prescribing where specific types of service are | ||||||
26 | received, including, but not limited to, publishing, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and utility service.
| ||||||
2 | (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, | ||||||
3 | 1995, the following
items of income shall not be included | ||||||
4 | in the numerator or denominator of the
sales factor: | ||||||
5 | dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the | ||||||
6 | Internal
Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in | ||||||
7 | Section 952 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
No inference | ||||||
8 | shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
| ||||||
9 | construing this Section for taxable years ending before | ||||||
10 | December 31, 1995.
| ||||||
11 | (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years | ||||||
12 | ending on or
after December 31, 1999, provided that a | ||||||
13 | taxpayer may elect to apply the
provisions of these | ||||||
14 | paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
| ||||||
15 | in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall | ||||||
16 | be irrevocable, and
shall apply to all tax years; provided | ||||||
17 | that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income
tax liability for any | ||||||
18 | tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January
1, | ||||||
19 | 1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions | ||||||
20 | of paragraphs
(B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to | ||||||
21 | the taxpayer for that tax year to
the extent such refund is | ||||||
22 | the result of applying the provisions of paragraph
(B-1) or | ||||||
23 | (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business | ||||||
24 | group, such
election shall apply to all members of such | ||||||
25 | group for every tax year such group
is in existence, but | ||||||
26 | shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during
which |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that taxpayer is not a member of such group.
| ||||||
2 | (b) Insurance companies.
| ||||||
3 | (1) In general. Except as otherwise
provided by | ||||||
4 | paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for | ||||||
5 | a
taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by | ||||||
6 | multiplying such
income by a fraction, the numerator of | ||||||
7 | which is the direct premiums
written for insurance upon | ||||||
8 | property or risk in this State, and the
denominator of | ||||||
9 | which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
| ||||||
10 | property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this | ||||||
11 | subsection, the term
"direct premiums written" means the | ||||||
12 | total amount of direct premiums
written, assessments and | ||||||
13 | annuity considerations as reported for the
taxable year on | ||||||
14 | the annual statement filed by the company with the
Illinois | ||||||
15 | Director of Insurance in the form approved by the National
| ||||||
16 | Convention of Insurance Commissioners
or such other form as | ||||||
17 | may be
prescribed in lieu thereof.
| ||||||
18 | (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums | ||||||
19 | written by an
insurance company consists of premiums for | ||||||
20 | reinsurance accepted by it,
the business income of such | ||||||
21 | company shall be apportioned to this State
by multiplying | ||||||
22 | such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
| ||||||
23 | sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon | ||||||
24 | property or risk
in this State, plus (ii) premiums written | ||||||
25 | for reinsurance accepted in
respect of property or risk in | ||||||
26 | this State, and the denominator of which
is the sum of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
| ||||||
2 | or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for | ||||||
3 | reinsurance accepted
in respect of property or risk | ||||||
4 | everywhere. For purposes of this
paragraph, premiums | ||||||
5 | written for reinsurance accepted in respect of
property or | ||||||
6 | risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,
| ||||||
7 | may, at the election of the company, be determined on the | ||||||
8 | basis of the
proportion which premiums written for | ||||||
9 | reinsurance accepted from
companies commercially domiciled | ||||||
10 | in Illinois bears to premiums written
for reinsurance | ||||||
11 | accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
| ||||||
12 | proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for | ||||||
13 | insurance
upon property or risk in this State by each | ||||||
14 | ceding company from which
reinsurance is accepted bears to | ||||||
15 | the sum of the total direct premiums
written by each such | ||||||
16 | ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by a | ||||||
17 | company under this paragraph for its first taxable year | ||||||
18 | ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for | ||||||
19 | that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent | ||||||
20 | taxable years, and may be altered only with the written | ||||||
21 | permission of the Department, which shall not be | ||||||
22 | unreasonably withheld.
| ||||||
23 | (c) Financial organizations.
| ||||||
24 | (1) In general. For taxable years ending before | ||||||
25 | December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
| ||||||
26 | organization shall be apportioned to this State by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | multiplying such
income by a fraction, the numerator of | ||||||
2 | which is its business income from
sources within this | ||||||
3 | State, and the denominator of which is its business
income | ||||||
4 | from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
| ||||||
5 | business income of a financial organization from sources | ||||||
6 | within this
State is the sum of the amounts referred to in | ||||||
7 | subparagraphs (A) through
(E) following, but excluding the | ||||||
8 | adjusted income of an international banking
facility as | ||||||
9 | determined in paragraph (2):
| ||||||
10 | (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for | ||||||
11 | financial services
rendered within this State;
| ||||||
12 | (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or | ||||||
13 | other securities
managed within this State;
| ||||||
14 | (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois | ||||||
15 | customers, which are received
within this State;
| ||||||
16 | (D) Interest charged to customers at places of | ||||||
17 | business maintained
within this State for carrying | ||||||
18 | debit balances of margin accounts,
without deduction | ||||||
19 | of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
| ||||||
20 | (E) Any other gross income resulting from the | ||||||
21 | operation as a
financial organization within this | ||||||
22 | State. In computing the amounts
referred to in | ||||||
23 | paragraphs (A) through (E) of this subsection, any | ||||||
24 | amount
received by a member of an affiliated group | ||||||
25 | (determined under Section
1504(a) of the Internal | ||||||
26 | Revenue Code but without reference to whether
any such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | corporation is an "includible corporation" under | ||||||
2 | Section
1504(b) of the Internal Revenue Code) from | ||||||
3 | another member of such group
shall be included only to | ||||||
4 | the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
| ||||||
5 | recipient directly related thereto.
| ||||||
6 | (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years | ||||||
7 | ending before December 31, 2008:
| ||||||
8 | (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an | ||||||
9 | international banking
facility is its income reduced | ||||||
10 | by the amount of the floor amount.
| ||||||
11 | (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the | ||||||
12 | amount, if any,
determined
by multiplying the income of | ||||||
13 | the international banking facility by a fraction,
not | ||||||
14 | greater than one, which is determined as follows:
| ||||||
15 | (i) The numerator shall be:
| ||||||
16 | The average aggregate, determined on a | ||||||
17 | quarterly basis, of the
financial
organization's | ||||||
18 | loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign | ||||||
19 | domiciled
borrowers (except where secured | ||||||
20 | primarily by real estate) and to foreign
| ||||||
21 | governments and other foreign official | ||||||
22 | institutions, as reported for its
branches, | ||||||
23 | agencies and offices within the state on its | ||||||
24 | "Consolidated Report
of Condition", Schedule A, | ||||||
25 | Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
| ||||||
26 | the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | other regulatory authorities,
for the year 1980, | ||||||
2 | minus
| ||||||
3 | The average aggregate, determined on a | ||||||
4 | quarterly basis, of such loans
(other
than loans of | ||||||
5 | an international banking facility), as reported by | ||||||
6 | the financial
institution for its branches, | ||||||
7 | agencies and offices within the state, on
the | ||||||
8 | corresponding Schedule and lines of the | ||||||
9 | Consolidated Report of Condition
for the current | ||||||
10 | taxable year, provided, however, that in no case | ||||||
11 | shall the
amount determined in this clause (the | ||||||
12 | subtrahend) exceed the amount determined
in the | ||||||
13 | preceding clause (the minuend); and
| ||||||
14 | (ii) the denominator shall be the average | ||||||
15 | aggregate, determined on a
quarterly basis, of the | ||||||
16 | international banking facility's loans to banks in
| ||||||
17 | foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers | ||||||
18 | (except where secured
primarily by real estate) | ||||||
19 | and to foreign governments and other foreign
| ||||||
20 | official institutions, which were recorded in its | ||||||
21 | financial accounts for
the current taxable year.
| ||||||
22 | (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and | ||||||
23 | in Qualification.
In the event the Consolidated Report | ||||||
24 | of Condition which is filed with the
Federal Deposit | ||||||
25 | Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities | ||||||
26 | is
altered so that the information required for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | determining the floor amount
is not found on Schedule | ||||||
2 | A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial
institution | ||||||
3 | shall notify the Department and the Department may, by
| ||||||
4 | regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the | ||||||
5 | use of an alternative
source for such information. The | ||||||
6 | financial institution shall also notify
the Department | ||||||
7 | should its international banking facility fail to | ||||||
8 | qualify as
such, in whole or in part, or should there | ||||||
9 | be any amendment or change to
the Consolidated Report | ||||||
10 | of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent
such | ||||||
11 | amendment or change alters the information used in | ||||||
12 | determining the floor
amount.
| ||||||
13 | (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, | ||||||
14 | 2008, the business income of a financial organization shall | ||||||
15 | be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by | ||||||
16 | a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts | ||||||
17 | from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to | ||||||
18 | this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is | ||||||
19 | its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year. | ||||||
20 | "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3) | ||||||
21 | means gross income, including net taxable gain on | ||||||
22 | disposition of assets, including securities and money | ||||||
23 | market instruments, when derived from transactions and | ||||||
24 | activities in the regular course of the financial | ||||||
25 | organization's trade or business. The following examples | ||||||
26 | are illustrative:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or | ||||||
2 | tangible personal property are in this State if the | ||||||
3 | property is located in this State during the rental | ||||||
4 | period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible | ||||||
5 | personal property that is characteristically moving | ||||||
6 | property, including, but not limited to, motor | ||||||
7 | vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile | ||||||
8 | equipment are from sources in this State to the extent | ||||||
9 | that the property is used in this State. | ||||||
10 | (ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on | ||||||
11 | disposition, and other receipts from assets in the | ||||||
12 | nature of loans that are secured primarily by real | ||||||
13 | estate or tangible personal property are from sources | ||||||
14 | in this State if the security is located in this State. | ||||||
15 | (iii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on | ||||||
16 | disposition, and other receipts from consumer loans | ||||||
17 | that are not secured by real or tangible personal | ||||||
18 | property are from sources in this State if the debtor | ||||||
19 | is a resident of this State. | ||||||
20 | (iv) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on | ||||||
21 | disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans | ||||||
22 | and installment obligations that are not secured by | ||||||
23 | real or tangible personal property are from sources in | ||||||
24 | this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be | ||||||
25 | applied in this State. If it cannot be determined where | ||||||
26 | the funds are to be applied, the income and receipts |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | are from sources in this State if the office of the | ||||||
2 | borrower from which the loan was negotiated in the | ||||||
3 | regular course of business is located in this State. If | ||||||
4 | the location of this office cannot be determined, the | ||||||
5 | income and receipts shall be excluded from the | ||||||
6 | numerator and denominator of the sales factor.
| ||||||
7 | (v) Interest income, fees, gains on disposition, | ||||||
8 | service charges, merchant discount income, and other | ||||||
9 | receipts from credit card receivables are from sources | ||||||
10 | in this State if the card charges are regularly billed | ||||||
11 | to a customer in this State. | ||||||
12 | (vi) Receipts from the performance of services, | ||||||
13 | including, but not limited to, fiduciary, advisory, | ||||||
14 | and brokerage services, are in this State if the | ||||||
15 | services are received in this State within the meaning | ||||||
16 | of subparagraph (a)(3)(C-5)(iv) of this Section. | ||||||
17 | (vii) Receipts from the issuance of travelers | ||||||
18 | checks and money orders are from sources in this State | ||||||
19 | if the checks and money orders are issued from a | ||||||
20 | location within this State. | ||||||
21 | (viii) Receipts from investment assets and | ||||||
22 | activities and trading assets and activities are | ||||||
23 | included in the receipts factor as follows: | ||||||
24 | (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not | ||||||
25 | less than zero) and other income from investment | ||||||
26 | assets and activities from trading assets and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | activities shall be included in the receipts | ||||||
2 | factor. Investment assets and activities and | ||||||
3 | trading assets and activities include but are not | ||||||
4 | limited to: investment securities; trading account | ||||||
5 | assets; federal funds; securities purchased and | ||||||
6 | sold under agreements to resell or repurchase; | ||||||
7 | options; futures contracts; forward contracts; | ||||||
8 | notional principal contracts such as swaps; | ||||||
9 | equities; and foreign currency transactions. With | ||||||
10 | respect to the investment and trading assets and | ||||||
11 | activities described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) | ||||||
12 | of this paragraph, the receipts factor shall | ||||||
13 | include the amounts described in such | ||||||
14 | subparagraphs. | ||||||
15 | (A) The receipts factor shall include the | ||||||
16 | amount by which interest from federal funds | ||||||
17 | sold and securities purchased under resale | ||||||
18 | agreements exceeds interest expense on federal | ||||||
19 | funds purchased and securities sold under | ||||||
20 | repurchase agreements. | ||||||
21 | (B) The receipts factor shall include the | ||||||
22 | amount by which interest, dividends, gains and | ||||||
23 | other income from trading assets and | ||||||
24 | activities, including but not limited to | ||||||
25 | assets and activities in the matched book, in | ||||||
26 | the arbitrage book, and foreign currency |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of | ||||||
2 | interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends, | ||||||
3 | and losses from such assets and activities. | ||||||
4 | (2) The numerator of the receipts factor | ||||||
5 | includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not | ||||||
6 | less than zero), and other income from investment | ||||||
7 | assets and activities and from trading assets and | ||||||
8 | activities described in paragraph (1) of this | ||||||
9 | subsection that are attributable to this State. | ||||||
10 | (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net | ||||||
11 | gains (but not less than zero), and other | ||||||
12 | income from investment assets and activities | ||||||
13 | in the investment account to be attributed to | ||||||
14 | this State and included in the numerator is | ||||||
15 | determined by multiplying all such income from | ||||||
16 | such assets and activities by a fraction, the | ||||||
17 | numerator of which is the gross income from | ||||||
18 | such assets and activities which are properly | ||||||
19 | assigned to a fixed place of business of the | ||||||
20 | taxpayer within this State and the denominator | ||||||
21 | of which is the gross income from all such | ||||||
22 | assets and activities. | ||||||
23 | (B) The amount of interest from federal | ||||||
24 | funds sold and purchased and from securities | ||||||
25 | purchased under resale agreements and | ||||||
26 | securities sold under repurchase agreements |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | attributable to this State and included in the | ||||||
2 | numerator is determined by multiplying the | ||||||
3 | amount described in subparagraph (A) of | ||||||
4 | paragraph (1) of this subsection from such | ||||||
5 | funds and such securities by a fraction, the | ||||||
6 | numerator of which is the gross income from | ||||||
7 | such funds and such securities which are | ||||||
8 | properly assigned to a fixed place of business | ||||||
9 | of the taxpayer within this State and the | ||||||
10 | denominator of which is the gross income from | ||||||
11 | all such funds and such securities. | ||||||
12 | (C) The amount of interest, dividends, | ||||||
13 | gains, and other income from trading assets and | ||||||
14 | activities, including but not limited to | ||||||
15 | assets and activities in the matched book, in | ||||||
16 | the arbitrage book and foreign currency | ||||||
17 | transactions (but excluding amounts described | ||||||
18 | in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph), | ||||||
19 | attributable to this State and included in the | ||||||
20 | numerator is determined by multiplying the | ||||||
21 | amount described in subparagraph (B) of | ||||||
22 | paragraph (1) of this subsection by a fraction, | ||||||
23 | the numerator of which is the gross income from | ||||||
24 | such trading assets and activities which are | ||||||
25 | properly assigned to a fixed place of business | ||||||
26 | of the taxpayer within this State and the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | denominator of which is the gross income from | ||||||
2 | all such assets and activities. | ||||||
3 | (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of | ||||||
4 | this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means | ||||||
5 | the investment or trading asset or activity is | ||||||
6 | assigned to the fixed place of business with | ||||||
7 | which it has a preponderance of substantive | ||||||
8 | contacts. An investment or trading asset or | ||||||
9 | activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed | ||||||
10 | place of business without the State shall be | ||||||
11 | presumed to have been properly assigned if: | ||||||
12 | (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the | ||||||
13 | regular course of its business, such asset | ||||||
14 | or activity on its records to a fixed place | ||||||
15 | of business consistent with federal or | ||||||
16 | state regulatory requirements; | ||||||
17 | (ii) such assignment on its records is | ||||||
18 | based upon substantive contacts of the | ||||||
19 | asset or activity to such fixed place of | ||||||
20 | business; and | ||||||
21 | (iii) the taxpayer uses such records | ||||||
22 | reflecting assignment of such assets or | ||||||
23 | activities for the filing of all state and | ||||||
24 | local tax returns for which an assignment | ||||||
25 | of such assets or activities to a fixed | ||||||
26 | place of business is required. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (E) The presumption of proper assignment | ||||||
2 | of an investment or trading asset or activity | ||||||
3 | provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) | ||||||
4 | of this subsection may be rebutted upon a | ||||||
5 | showing by the Department, supported by a | ||||||
6 | preponderance of the evidence, that the | ||||||
7 | preponderance of substantive contacts | ||||||
8 | regarding such asset or activity did not occur | ||||||
9 | at the fixed place of business to which it was | ||||||
10 | assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the | ||||||
11 | fixed place of business that has a | ||||||
12 | preponderance of substantive contacts cannot | ||||||
13 | be determined for an investment or trading | ||||||
14 | asset or activity to which the presumption in | ||||||
15 | subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this | ||||||
16 | subsection does not apply or with respect to | ||||||
17 | which that presumption has been rebutted, that | ||||||
18 | asset or activity is properly assigned to the | ||||||
19 | state in which the taxpayer's commercial | ||||||
20 | domicile is located. For purposes of this | ||||||
21 | subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed, | ||||||
22 | subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's | ||||||
23 | commercial domicile is in the state of the | ||||||
24 | United States or the District of Columbia to | ||||||
25 | which the greatest number of employees are | ||||||
26 | regularly connected with the management of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | investment or trading income or out of which | ||||||
2 | they are working, irrespective of where the | ||||||
3 | services of such employees are performed, as of | ||||||
4 | the last day of the taxable year.
| ||||||
5 | (4) (Blank). | ||||||
6 | (5) (Blank). | ||||||
7 | (c-1) Federally regulated exchanges. For taxable years | ||||||
8 | ending on or after December 31, 2012, business income of a | ||||||
9 | federally regulated exchange shall, at the option of the | ||||||
10 | federally regulated exchange, be apportioned to this State by | ||||||
11 | multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which | ||||||
12 | is its business income from sources within this State, and the | ||||||
13 | denominator of which is its business income from all sources. | ||||||
14 | For purposes of this subsection, the business income within | ||||||
15 | this State of a federally regulated exchange is the sum of the | ||||||
16 | following: | ||||||
17 | (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on | ||||||
18 | a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is | ||||||
19 | located in this State. | ||||||
20 | (2) Receipts attributable to all other matching, | ||||||
21 | execution, or clearing transactions, including without | ||||||
22 | limitation receipts from the provision of matching, | ||||||
23 | execution, or clearing services to another entity, | ||||||
24 | multiplied by (i) for taxable years ending on or after | ||||||
25 | December 31, 2012 but before December 31, 2013, 63.77%; and | ||||||
26 | (ii) for taxable years ending on or after December 31, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 2013, 27.54%. | ||||||
2 | (3) All other receipts not governed by subparagraphs | ||||||
3 | (1) or (2) of this subsection (c-1), to the extent the | ||||||
4 | receipts would be characterized as "sales in this State" | ||||||
5 | under item (3) of subsection (a) of this Section. | ||||||
6 | "Federally regulated exchange" means (i) a "registered | ||||||
7 | entity" within the meaning of 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(40)(A), (B), | ||||||
8 | or (C), (ii) an "exchange" or "clearing agency" within the | ||||||
9 | meaning of 15 U.S.C. Section 78c (a)(1) or (23), (iii) any such | ||||||
10 | entities regulated under any successor regulatory structure to | ||||||
11 | the foregoing, and (iv) all taxpayers who are members of the | ||||||
12 | same unitary business group as a federally regulated exchange, | ||||||
13 | determined without regard to the prohibition in Section | ||||||
14 | 1501(a)(27) of this Act against including in a unitary business | ||||||
15 | group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to apportion | ||||||
16 | business income under different subsections of this Section; | ||||||
17 | provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only if 50% or | ||||||
18 | more of the business receipts of the unitary business group | ||||||
19 | determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for the | ||||||
20 | taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution, or | ||||||
21 | clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described in | ||||||
22 | subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph. | ||||||
23 | In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage | ||||||
24 | computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any | ||||||
25 | taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois | ||||||
26 | apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or | ||||||
2 | after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1) applied | ||||||
3 | to the taxpayer. | ||||||
4 | (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending | ||||||
5 | before December 31, 2008, business income derived from | ||||||
6 | furnishing
transportation services shall be apportioned to | ||||||
7 | this State in accordance
with paragraphs (1) and (2):
| ||||||
8 | (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
| ||||||
9 | transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this | ||||||
10 | State by
multiplying such income by a fraction, the | ||||||
11 | numerator of which is the
revenue miles of the person in | ||||||
12 | this State, and the denominator of which
is the revenue | ||||||
13 | miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
| ||||||
14 | paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1 | ||||||
15 | passenger or 1 net
ton of freight the distance of 1 mile | ||||||
16 | for a consideration. Where a
person is engaged in the | ||||||
17 | transportation of both passengers and freight,
the | ||||||
18 | fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of | ||||||
19 | an
average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the | ||||||
20 | freight revenue
mile fraction, weighted to reflect the | ||||||
21 | person's
| ||||||
22 | (A) relative railway operating income from total | ||||||
23 | passenger and total
freight service, as reported to the | ||||||
24 | Interstate Commerce Commission, in
the case of | ||||||
25 | transportation by railroad, and
| ||||||
26 | (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | freight
transportation, in case of transportation | ||||||
2 | other than by railroad.
| ||||||
3 | (2) Such business income derived from transportation | ||||||
4 | by pipeline
shall be apportioned to this State by | ||||||
5 | multiplying such income by a
fraction, the numerator of | ||||||
6 | which is the revenue miles of the person in
this State, and | ||||||
7 | the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the
person | ||||||
8 | everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a revenue | ||||||
9 | mile is
the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel of oil, | ||||||
10 | 1,000 cubic feet of
gas, or of any specified quantity of | ||||||
11 | any other substance, the distance
of 1 mile for a | ||||||
12 | consideration.
| ||||||
13 | (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, | ||||||
14 | 2008, business income derived from providing | ||||||
15 | transportation services other than airline services shall | ||||||
16 | be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the | ||||||
17 | numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any | ||||||
18 | movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or | ||||||
19 | any other substance (other than by airline) that both | ||||||
20 | originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that | ||||||
21 | portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or | ||||||
22 | shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other | ||||||
23 | substance (other than by airline) that originates in one | ||||||
24 | state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or | ||||||
25 | jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the | ||||||
26 | miles traveled in this State bears to total miles |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all | ||||||
2 | revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people, | ||||||
3 | goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than | ||||||
4 | by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the | ||||||
5 | transportation of both passengers and freight, the | ||||||
6 | fraction above referred to shall first be determined | ||||||
7 | separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an | ||||||
8 | average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight | ||||||
9 | miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the taxpayer's: | ||||||
10 | (A) relative railway operating income from total | ||||||
11 | passenger and total freight service, as reported to the | ||||||
12 | Surface Transportation Board, in the case of | ||||||
13 | transportation by railroad; and
| ||||||
14 | (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and | ||||||
15 | freight transportation, in case of transportation | ||||||
16 | other than by railroad.
| ||||||
17 | (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31, | ||||||
18 | 2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
| ||||||
19 | transportation services shall be apportioned to this State | ||||||
20 | by
multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of | ||||||
21 | which is the
revenue miles of the person in this State, and | ||||||
22 | the denominator of which
is the revenue miles of the person | ||||||
23 | everywhere. For purposes of this
paragraph, a revenue mile | ||||||
24 | is the transportation of one passenger or one net
ton of | ||||||
25 | freight the distance of one mile for a consideration. If a
| ||||||
26 | person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and freight,
the fraction above referred to shall be | ||||||
2 | determined by means of an
average of the passenger revenue | ||||||
3 | mile fraction and the freight revenue
mile fraction, | ||||||
4 | weighted to reflect the person's relative gross receipts | ||||||
5 | from passenger and freight
airline transportation.
| ||||||
6 | (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are | ||||||
7 | engaged in
a unitary business as described in subsection | ||||||
8 | (a)(27) of
Section 1501,
a part of which is conducted in this | ||||||
9 | State by one or more members of the
group, the business income | ||||||
10 | attributable to this State by any such member
or members shall | ||||||
11 | be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
| ||||||
12 | (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and | ||||||
13 | apportionment
provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of | ||||||
14 | subsection (h) do not, for taxable years ending before December | ||||||
15 | 31, 2008, fairly represent the
extent of a person's business | ||||||
16 | activity in this State, or, for taxable years ending on or | ||||||
17 | after December 31, 2008, fairly represent the market for the | ||||||
18 | person's goods, services, or other sources of business income, | ||||||
19 | the person may
petition for, or the Director may, without a | ||||||
20 | petition, permit or require, in respect of all or any part
of | ||||||
21 | the person's business activity, if reasonable:
| ||||||
22 | (1) Separate accounting;
| ||||||
23 | (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;
| ||||||
24 | (3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors | ||||||
25 | which will
fairly represent the person's business | ||||||
26 | activities or market in this State; or
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) The employment of any other method to effectuate an | ||||||
2 | equitable
allocation and apportionment of the person's | ||||||
3 | business income.
| ||||||
4 | (g) Cross reference. For allocation of business income by | ||||||
5 | residents,
see Section 301(a).
| ||||||
6 | (h) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998, the | ||||||
7 | apportionment
factor of persons who apportion their business | ||||||
8 | income to this State under
subsection (a) shall be equal to:
| ||||||
9 | (1) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998 | ||||||
10 | and before December
31, 1999, 16 2/3% of the property | ||||||
11 | factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll factor
plus
66 2/3% of | ||||||
12 | the sales factor;
| ||||||
13 | (2) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999 | ||||||
14 | and before December
31,
2000, 8 1/3% of the property factor | ||||||
15 | plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83
1/3%
of the sales | ||||||
16 | factor;
| ||||||
17 | (3) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2000, | ||||||
18 | the sales factor.
| ||||||
19 | If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998 and | ||||||
20 | before December
31, 2000, the denominator of the payroll, | ||||||
21 | property, or sales factor is zero,
the apportionment
factor | ||||||
22 | computed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that | ||||||
23 | year shall
be divided by an amount equal to 100% minus the | ||||||
24 | percentage weight given to each
factor whose denominator is | ||||||
25 | equal to zero.

for expenses incurred in collecting the | ||||||
17 | tax, keeping records, preparing
and filing returns, remitting | ||||||
18 | the tax and supplying data to the
Department on request. In the | ||||||
19 | case of retailers who report and pay the
tax on a transaction | ||||||
20 | by transaction basis, as provided in this Section,
such | ||||||
21 | discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead | ||||||
22 | of
when such retailer files his periodic return. The Department | ||||||
23 | may disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of | ||||||
24 | registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but | ||||||
25 | only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | registration has become final. A retailer need not remit
that | ||||||
2 | part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is | ||||||
3 | required
to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the | ||||||
4 | Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the | ||||||
5 | same property. | ||||||
6 | Where such tangible personal property is sold under a | ||||||
7 | conditional
sales contract, or under any other form of sale | ||||||
8 | wherein the payment of
the principal sum, or a part thereof, is | ||||||
9 | extended beyond the close of
the period for which the return is | ||||||
10 | filed, the retailer, in collecting
the tax (except as to motor | ||||||
11 | vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and
trailers that are required | ||||||
12 | to be registered with an agency of this State),
may collect for | ||||||
13 | each
tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of | ||||||
14 | the selling
price actually received during such tax return | ||||||
15 | period. | ||||||
16 | Except as provided in this Section, on or before the | ||||||
17 | twentieth day of each
calendar month, such retailer shall file | ||||||
18 | a return for the preceding
calendar month. Such return shall be | ||||||
19 | filed on forms prescribed by the
Department and shall furnish | ||||||
20 | such information as the Department may
reasonably require. | ||||||
21 | The Department may require returns to be filed on a | ||||||
22 | quarterly basis.
If so required, a return for each calendar | ||||||
23 | quarter shall be filed on or
before the twentieth day of the | ||||||
24 | calendar month following the end of such
calendar quarter. The | ||||||
25 | taxpayer shall also file a return with the
Department for each | ||||||
26 | of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
before |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating: | ||||||
2 | 1. The name of the seller; | ||||||
3 | 2. The address of the principal place of business from | ||||||
4 | which he engages
in the business of selling tangible | ||||||
5 | personal property at retail in this State; | ||||||
6 | 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him | ||||||
7 | during the
preceding calendar month from sales of tangible | ||||||
8 | personal property by him
during such preceding calendar | ||||||
9 | month, including receipts from charge and
time sales, but | ||||||
10 | less all deductions allowed by law; | ||||||
11 | 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this | ||||||
12 | Act; | ||||||
13 | 5. The amount of tax due; | ||||||
14 | 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and | ||||||
15 | 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department | ||||||
16 | may
require. | ||||||
17 | If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after | ||||||
18 | the proper notice
and demand for signature by the Department, | ||||||
19 | the return shall be considered
valid and any amount shown to be | ||||||
20 | due on the return shall be deemed assessed. | ||||||
21 | Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average | ||||||
22 | monthly tax
liability of $150,000 or more shall make all | ||||||
23 | payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic | ||||||
24 | funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer
who has | ||||||
25 | an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make | ||||||
26 | all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has | ||||||
2 | an average monthly tax liability
of $50,000 or more shall make | ||||||
3 | all payments required by rules of the Department
by electronic | ||||||
4 | funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
| ||||||
5 | an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all | ||||||
6 | payments required by
rules of the Department by electronic | ||||||
7 | funds transfer. The term "annual tax
liability" shall be the | ||||||
8 | sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and
under all | ||||||
9 | other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered | ||||||
10 | by the
Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year. | ||||||
11 | The term "average
monthly tax liability" means
the sum of the | ||||||
12 | taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other | ||||||
13 | State
and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the | ||||||
14 | Department, for the
immediately preceding calendar year | ||||||
15 | divided by 12.
Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has | ||||||
16 | a tax liability in the
amount set forth in subsection (b) of | ||||||
17 | Section 2505-210 of the Department of
Revenue Law shall make | ||||||
18 | all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic | ||||||
19 | funds transfer. | ||||||
20 | Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the | ||||||
21 | Department shall notify
all taxpayers required to make payments | ||||||
22 | by electronic funds transfer. All
taxpayers required to make | ||||||
23 | payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
those payments | ||||||
24 | for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1. | ||||||
25 | Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic | ||||||
26 | funds transfer may
make payments by electronic funds transfer |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with the permission of the
Department. | ||||||
2 | All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds | ||||||
3 | transfer and any
taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make | ||||||
4 | payments by electronic funds transfer
shall make those payments | ||||||
5 | in the manner authorized by the Department. | ||||||
6 | The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to | ||||||
7 | effectuate a
program of electronic funds transfer and the | ||||||
8 | requirements of this Section. | ||||||
9 | Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly | ||||||
10 | tax liability
to the Department
under this Act, the Retailers' | ||||||
11 | Occupation Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act, the Service | ||||||
12 | Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more
during
the preceding 4 complete | ||||||
13 | calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the
Department | ||||||
14 | each month by the 20th day of the month next following the | ||||||
15 | month
during which such tax liability is incurred and shall | ||||||
16 | make payments to the
Department on or before the 7th, 15th, | ||||||
17 | 22nd and last day of the month
during which such liability is | ||||||
18 | incurred.
On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's | ||||||
19 | average monthly tax liability
to the Department under this Act, | ||||||
20 | the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
the
Service Occupation Tax | ||||||
21 | Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more
during the | ||||||
22 | preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return | ||||||
23 | with
the Department each month by the 20th day of the month | ||||||
24 | next following the month
during which such tax liability is | ||||||
25 | incurred and shall make payment to the
Department on or before | ||||||
26 | the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
month during
which such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | liability is incurred.
If the month during which such tax
| ||||||
2 | liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each | ||||||
3 | payment shall be
in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
| ||||||
4 | actual liability for the month or an amount set by the | ||||||
5 | Department not to
exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability | ||||||
6 | of the taxpayer to the
Department for the preceding 4 complete | ||||||
7 | calendar quarters (excluding the
month of highest liability and | ||||||
8 | the month of lowest liability in such 4
quarter period). If the | ||||||
9 | month during which such tax liability is incurred
begins on or | ||||||
10 | after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
| ||||||
11 | payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's | ||||||
12 | actual liability
for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's | ||||||
13 | liability for the same calendar
month of the preceding year. If | ||||||
14 | the month during which such tax liability
is incurred begins on | ||||||
15 | or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1,
1988, each | ||||||
16 | payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
| ||||||
17 | actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's | ||||||
18 | liability for
the same calendar month of the preceding year. If | ||||||
19 | the month during which such
tax liability is incurred begins on | ||||||
20 | or after January 1, 1988, and prior to
January 1, 1989,
or | ||||||
21 | begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an | ||||||
22 | amount equal
to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for | ||||||
23 | the month or 25% of the
taxpayer's liability for the same | ||||||
24 | calendar month of the preceding year. If the
month during which | ||||||
25 | such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
| ||||||
26 | 1989,
and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amount equal to 22.5%
of the taxpayer's actual liability for | ||||||
2 | the month or 25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same | ||||||
3 | calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the
taxpayer's | ||||||
4 | actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
| ||||||
5 | amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited | ||||||
6 | against the final tax
liability
of the taxpayer's return for | ||||||
7 | that month. Before October 1, 2000, once
applicable, the | ||||||
8 | requirement
of the making of quarter monthly payments to the | ||||||
9 | Department shall continue
until such taxpayer's average | ||||||
10 | monthly liability to the Department during
the preceding 4 | ||||||
11 | complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
| ||||||
12 | liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
| ||||||
13 | $9,000, or until
such taxpayer's average monthly liability to | ||||||
14 | the Department as computed for
each calendar quarter of the 4 | ||||||
15 | preceding complete calendar quarter period
is less than | ||||||
16 | $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
Department that
a | ||||||
17 | substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred | ||||||
18 | which causes
the taxpayer to anticipate that his average | ||||||
19 | monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future | ||||||
20 | will fall below the $10,000 threshold
stated above, then
such | ||||||
21 | taxpayer
may petition the Department for change in such | ||||||
22 | taxpayer's reporting status.
On and after October 1, 2000, once | ||||||
23 | applicable, the requirement of the making
of quarter monthly | ||||||
24 | payments to the Department shall continue until such
taxpayer's | ||||||
25 | average monthly liability to the Department during the | ||||||
26 | preceding 4
complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | highest liability and the
month of lowest liability) is less | ||||||
2 | than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
average monthly liability | ||||||
3 | to the Department as computed for each calendar
quarter of the | ||||||
4 | 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
| ||||||
5 | $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a | ||||||
6 | substantial
change in the taxpayer's business has occurred | ||||||
7 | which causes the taxpayer to
anticipate that his average | ||||||
8 | monthly tax liability for the reasonably
foreseeable future | ||||||
9 | will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then
such | ||||||
10 | taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such | ||||||
11 | taxpayer's
reporting status.
The Department shall change such | ||||||
12 | taxpayer's reporting status unless it
finds that such change is | ||||||
13 | seasonal in nature and not likely to be long
term. If any such | ||||||
14 | quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in
the | ||||||
15 | amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be | ||||||
16 | liable for
penalties and interest on
the difference between the | ||||||
17 | minimum amount due and the amount of such
quarter monthly | ||||||
18 | payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
| ||||||
19 | taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the | ||||||
20 | Department in
excess of the minimum payments previously due as | ||||||
21 | provided in this Section.
The Department shall make reasonable | ||||||
22 | rules and regulations to govern the
quarter monthly payment | ||||||
23 | amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
taxpayers who file | ||||||
24 | on other than a calendar monthly basis. | ||||||
25 | If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds | ||||||
26 | the taxpayer's
liabilities under this Act, the Retailers' |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Occupation Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act and the | ||||||
2 | Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original
monthly return, | ||||||
3 | the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit
memorandum | ||||||
4 | no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
| ||||||
5 | memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department | ||||||
6 | in payment of
tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the | ||||||
7 | taxpayer to the Department
or be assigned by the taxpayer to a | ||||||
8 | similar taxpayer under this Act, the
Retailers' Occupation Tax | ||||||
9 | Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
Service Use Tax Act, | ||||||
10 | in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
be | ||||||
11 | prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess | ||||||
12 | payment is
shown on an original monthly return and is made | ||||||
13 | after December 31, 1986, no
credit memorandum shall be issued, | ||||||
14 | unless requested by the taxpayer. If no
such request is made, | ||||||
15 | the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against
tax | ||||||
16 | liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the | ||||||
17 | Department
under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, | ||||||
18 | the Service Occupation
Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in | ||||||
19 | accordance with reasonable rules and
regulations prescribed by | ||||||
20 | the Department. If the Department subsequently
determines that | ||||||
21 | all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
the | ||||||
22 | taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall | ||||||
23 | be
reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the | ||||||
24 | credit taken and
that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be | ||||||
25 | liable for penalties and
interest on such difference. | ||||||
26 | If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | return and if the
retailer's average monthly tax liability to | ||||||
2 | the Department
does not exceed $200, the Department may | ||||||
3 | authorize his returns to be
filed on a quarter annual basis, | ||||||
4 | with the return for January, February,
and March of a given | ||||||
5 | year being due by April 20 of such year; with the
return for | ||||||
6 | April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
such | ||||||
7 | year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
| ||||||
8 | year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return | ||||||
9 | for
October, November and December of a given year being due by | ||||||
10 | January 20
of the following year. | ||||||
11 | If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or | ||||||
12 | quarterly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax | ||||||
13 | liability to the
Department does not exceed $50, the Department | ||||||
14 | may authorize his returns to
be filed on an annual basis, with | ||||||
15 | the return for a given year being due by
January 20 of the | ||||||
16 | following year. | ||||||
17 | Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and | ||||||
18 | substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly | ||||||
19 | returns. | ||||||
20 | Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning | ||||||
21 | the time
within which a retailer may file his return, in the | ||||||
22 | case of any retailer
who ceases to engage in a kind of business | ||||||
23 | which makes him responsible
for filing returns under this Act, | ||||||
24 | such retailer shall file a final
return under this Act with the | ||||||
25 | Department not more than one month after
discontinuing such | ||||||
26 | business. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
| ||||||
2 | aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with | ||||||
3 | an agency of
this State, every
retailer selling this kind of | ||||||
4 | tangible personal property shall file,
with the Department, | ||||||
5 | upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
Department, a | ||||||
6 | separate return for each such item of tangible personal
| ||||||
7 | property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
| ||||||
8 | transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor | ||||||
9 | vehicles or
trailers transfers more than
one aircraft, | ||||||
10 | watercraft, motor
vehicle or trailer to another aircraft, | ||||||
11 | watercraft, motor vehicle or
trailer retailer for the purpose | ||||||
12 | of resale
or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor | ||||||
13 | vehicles, or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, | ||||||
14 | watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a
purchaser for use as | ||||||
15 | a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of
this | ||||||
16 | Act, then
that seller may report the transfer of all the
| ||||||
17 | aircraft, watercraft, motor
vehicles
or trailers involved in | ||||||
18 | that transaction to the Department on the same
uniform
| ||||||
19 | invoice-transaction reporting return form.
For purposes of | ||||||
20 | this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or
Class
4 | ||||||
21 | watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration | ||||||
22 | and Safety Act,
a
personal watercraft, or any boat equipped | ||||||
23 | with an inboard motor. | ||||||
24 | The transaction reporting return in the case of motor | ||||||
25 | vehicles
or trailers that are required to be registered with an | ||||||
26 | agency of this
State, shall
be the same document as the Uniform |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Invoice referred to in Section 5-402
of the Illinois Vehicle | ||||||
2 | Code and must show the name and address of the
seller; the name | ||||||
3 | and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price | ||||||
4 | including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
| ||||||
5 | property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the | ||||||
6 | traded-in
tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to | ||||||
7 | which Section 2 of
this Act allows an exemption for the value | ||||||
8 | of traded-in property; the
balance payable after deducting such | ||||||
9 | trade-in allowance from the total
selling price; the amount of | ||||||
10 | tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the | ||||||
11 | amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the
retailer on | ||||||
12 | such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is
not | ||||||
13 | due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the | ||||||
14 | fact);
the place and date of the sale; a sufficient | ||||||
15 | identification of the
property sold; such other information as | ||||||
16 | is required in Section 5-402 of
the Illinois Vehicle Code, and | ||||||
17 | such other information as the Department
may reasonably | ||||||
18 | require. | ||||||
19 | The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
| ||||||
20 | and aircraft must show
the name and address of the seller; the | ||||||
21 | name and address of the
purchaser; the amount of the selling | ||||||
22 | price including the amount allowed
by the retailer for | ||||||
23 | traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by
the retailer | ||||||
24 | for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to
the | ||||||
25 | extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for | ||||||
26 | the
value of traded-in property; the balance payable after |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | deducting such
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; | ||||||
2 | the amount of tax due
from the retailer with respect to such | ||||||
3 | transaction; the amount of tax
collected from the purchaser by | ||||||
4 | the retailer on such transaction (or
satisfactory evidence that | ||||||
5 | such tax is not due in that particular
instance, if that is | ||||||
6 | claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale, a | ||||||
7 | sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
| ||||||
8 | information as the Department may reasonably require. | ||||||
9 | Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later | ||||||
10 | than 20
days after the date of delivery of the item that is | ||||||
11 | being sold, but may
be filed by the retailer at any time sooner | ||||||
12 | than that if he chooses to
do so. The transaction reporting | ||||||
13 | return and tax remittance or proof of
exemption from the tax | ||||||
14 | that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to
the | ||||||
15 | Department by way of the State agency with which, or State | ||||||
16 | officer
with whom, the tangible personal property must be | ||||||
17 | titled or registered
(if titling or registration is required) | ||||||
18 | if the Department and such
agency or State officer determine | ||||||
19 | that this procedure will expedite the
processing of | ||||||
20 | applications for title or registration. | ||||||
21 | With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer | ||||||
22 | shall remit
the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit | ||||||
23 | satisfactory evidence that
the sale is not taxable if that is | ||||||
24 | the case), to the Department or its
agents, whereupon the | ||||||
25 | Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a
tax receipt | ||||||
26 | (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
satisfied |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
| ||||||
2 | may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with | ||||||
3 | whom, he must
title or register the tangible personal property | ||||||
4 | that is involved (if
titling or registration is required) in | ||||||
5 | support of such purchaser's
application for an Illinois | ||||||
6 | certificate or other evidence of title or
registration to such | ||||||
7 | tangible personal property. | ||||||
8 | No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this | ||||||
9 | Act
precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the | ||||||
10 | retailer, from
obtaining his certificate of title or other | ||||||
11 | evidence of title or
registration (if titling or registration | ||||||
12 | is required) upon satisfying
the Department that such user has | ||||||
13 | paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to
the retailer. The | ||||||
14 | Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out
the | ||||||
15 | mandate of this paragraph. | ||||||
16 | If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer | ||||||
17 | wants the
transaction reporting return filed and the payment of | ||||||
18 | tax or proof of
exemption made to the Department before the | ||||||
19 | retailer is willing to take
these actions and such user has not | ||||||
20 | paid the tax to the retailer, such
user may certify to the fact | ||||||
21 | of such delay by the retailer, and may
(upon the Department | ||||||
22 | being satisfied of the truth of such certification)
transmit | ||||||
23 | the information required by the transaction reporting return
| ||||||
24 | and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to | ||||||
25 | the
Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption | ||||||
26 | determination, in
which event the transaction reporting return |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and tax remittance (if a
tax payment was required) shall be | ||||||
2 | credited by the Department to the
proper retailer's account | ||||||
3 | with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75%
discount | ||||||
4 | provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
| ||||||
5 | the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the | ||||||
6 | same
amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted | ||||||
7 | if the tax had
been remitted to the Department by the retailer. | ||||||
8 | Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the | ||||||
9 | selling price
of tangible personal property which he sells and | ||||||
10 | the purchaser
thereafter returns such tangible personal | ||||||
11 | property and the retailer
refunds the selling price thereof to | ||||||
12 | the purchaser, such retailer shall
also refund, to the | ||||||
13 | purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser.
When filing | ||||||
14 | his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to
the | ||||||
15 | purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so | ||||||
16 | refunded
by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which | ||||||
17 | such retailer may
be required to pay or remit to the | ||||||
18 | Department, as shown by such return,
if the amount of the tax | ||||||
19 | to be deducted was previously remitted to the
Department by | ||||||
20 | such retailer. If the retailer has not previously
remitted the | ||||||
21 | amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
| ||||||
22 | deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the | ||||||
23 | purchaser. | ||||||
24 | Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also | ||||||
25 | include
(for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax | ||||||
26 | covered by such
return upon the selling price of tangible |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | personal property purchased by
him at retail from a retailer, | ||||||
2 | but as to which the tax imposed by this
Act was not collected | ||||||
3 | from the retailer filing such return, and such
retailer shall | ||||||
4 | remit the amount of such tax to the Department when
filing such | ||||||
5 | return. | ||||||
6 | If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the | ||||||
7 | Department
may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint | ||||||
8 | return which will
enable retailers, who are required to file | ||||||
9 | returns hereunder and also
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax | ||||||
10 | Act, to furnish all the return
information required by both | ||||||
11 | Acts on the one form. | ||||||
12 | Where the retailer has more than one business registered | ||||||
13 | with the
Department under separate registration under this Act, | ||||||
14 | such retailer may
not file each return that is due as a single | ||||||
15 | return covering all such
registered businesses, but shall file | ||||||
16 | separate returns for each such
registered business. | ||||||
17 | Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall | ||||||
18 | pay into the
State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special | ||||||
19 | fund in the State Treasury
which is hereby created, the net | ||||||

21 | sales of food for human consumption which is to be

25 | pay into
the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue | ||||||
26 | realized for the
preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on |

2 | purchased outside Illinois at retail
from a retailer and which | ||||||

7 | an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the | ||||||
8 | net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of | ||||||
9 | candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had | ||||||
10 | been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that | ||||||

17 | Specified Amount for such
fiscal year; and, further provided, | ||||||
18 | that the amounts payable into the Build

15 | Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect | ||||||
16 | the tax
herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount | ||||||
17 | of such tax
(except as otherwise provided) at the time when he | ||||||
18 | is required to file
his return for the period during which such | ||||||
19 | tax was collected, less a
discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, | ||||||
20 | 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1,
1990, or $5 per calendar | ||||||
21 | year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
reimburse the | ||||||
22 | serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting the tax,
keeping | ||||||
23 | records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and
| ||||||
24 | supplying data to the Department on request. The Department may | ||||||
25 | disallow the discount for servicemen whose certificate of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but | ||||||
2 | only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of | ||||||
3 | registration has become final. A serviceman need not remit
that | ||||||
4 | part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is | ||||||
5 | required to
pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service | ||||||
6 | Occupation Tax Act with
respect to his sale of service | ||||||
7 | involving the incidental transfer by him of
the same property. | ||||||

day of each calendar month, such | ||||||
10 | serviceman shall file a return for the
preceding calendar month | ||||||
11 | in accordance with reasonable Rules and
Regulations to be | ||||||
12 | promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be
filed on a | ||||||
13 | form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
| ||||||
14 | information as the Department may reasonably require. | ||||||
15 | The Department may require returns to be filed on a | ||||||
16 | quarterly basis.
If so required, a return for each calendar | ||||||
17 | quarter shall be filed on or
before the twentieth day of the | ||||||
18 | calendar month following the end of such
calendar quarter. The | ||||||
19 | taxpayer shall also file a return with the
Department for each | ||||||
20 | of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
before | ||||||
21 | the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating: | ||||||
22 | 1. The name of the seller; | ||||||
23 | 2. The address of the principal place of business from | ||||||
24 | which he engages

10 | the proper notice
and demand for signature by the Department, | ||||||
11 | the return shall be considered
valid and any amount shown to be | ||||||
12 | due on the return shall be deemed assessed. | ||||||
13 | Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average | ||||||
14 | monthly tax
liability of $150,000 or more shall make all | ||||||
15 | payments required by rules of
the Department by electronic | ||||||
16 | funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a
taxpayer who has | ||||||
17 | an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
make | ||||||
18 | all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic | ||||||

26 | sum of
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all |

7 | divided by 12.
Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has | ||||||

amount set forth in subsection (b) of | ||||||
9 | Section 2505-210 of the Department of
Revenue Law shall make | ||||||

13 | Department shall
notify all taxpayers required to make payments | ||||||
14 | by electronic funds transfer.
All taxpayers required to make | ||||||
15 | payments by electronic funds transfer shall
make those payments | ||||||
16 | for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1. | ||||||
17 | Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic | ||||||
18 | funds transfer
may make payments by electronic funds transfer | ||||||
19 | with the permission of the
Department. | ||||||
20 | All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds | ||||||
21 | transfer and
any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make | ||||||
22 | payments by electronic funds
transfer shall make those payments | ||||||
23 | in the manner authorized by the Department. | ||||||
24 | The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to | ||||||
25 | effectuate a
program of electronic funds transfer and the | ||||||
26 | requirements of this Section. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly | ||||||
2 | return and
if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to | ||||||
3 | the Department
does not exceed $200, the Department may | ||||||
4 | authorize his returns to be
filed on a quarter annual basis, | ||||||
5 | with the return for January, February
and March of a given year | ||||||
6 | being due by April 20 of such year; with the
return for April, | ||||||
7 | May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
such year; | ||||||
8 | with the return for July, August and September of a given
year | ||||||
9 | being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
| ||||||
10 | October, November and December of a given year being due by | ||||||
11 | January 20
of the following year. | ||||||
12 | If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly | ||||||
13 | or quarterly
return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax | ||||||
14 | liability to the Department
does not exceed $50, the Department | ||||||
15 | may authorize his returns to be
filed on an annual basis, with | ||||||
16 | the return for a given year being due by
January 20 of the | ||||||
17 | following year. | ||||||
18 | Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and | ||||||
19 | substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly | ||||||
20 | returns. | ||||||
21 | Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning | ||||||
22 | the time
within which a serviceman may file his return, in the | ||||||
23 | case of any
serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of | ||||||
24 | business which makes him
responsible for filing returns under | ||||||
25 | this Act, such serviceman shall
file a final return under this | ||||||
26 | Act with the Department not more than 1
month after |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | discontinuing such business. | ||||||
2 | Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the | ||||||
3 | selling price of
property which he sells and the purchaser | ||||||
4 | thereafter returns such
property and the serviceman refunds the | ||||||
5 | selling price thereof to the
purchaser, such serviceman shall | ||||||
6 | also refund, to the purchaser, the tax
so collected from the | ||||||
7 | purchaser. When filing his return for the period
in which he | ||||||
8 | refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
| ||||||
9 | the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from | ||||||
10 | any other
Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers' | ||||||
11 | occupation tax or
use tax which such serviceman may be required | ||||||
12 | to pay or remit to the
Department, as shown by such return, | ||||||
13 | provided that the amount of the tax
to be deducted shall | ||||||
14 | previously have been remitted to the Department by
such | ||||||
15 | serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have | ||||||
16 | remitted
the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall be | ||||||
17 | entitled to no
deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to | ||||||
18 | the purchaser. | ||||||
19 | Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also include | ||||||
20 | the total
tax upon the selling price of tangible personal | ||||||
21 | property purchased for use
by him as an incident to a sale of | ||||||
22 | service, and such serviceman shall remit
the amount of such tax | ||||||
23 | to the Department when filing such return. | ||||||
24 | If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the | ||||||
25 | Department
may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint | ||||||
26 | return which will
enable servicemen, who are required to file |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | returns hereunder and also
under the Service Occupation Tax | ||||||
2 | Act, to furnish all the return
information required by both | ||||||
3 | Acts on the one form. | ||||||
4 | Where the serviceman has more than one business registered | ||||||
5 | with the
Department under separate registration hereunder, | ||||||
6 | such serviceman shall
not file each return that is due as a | ||||||
7 | single return covering all such
registered businesses, but | ||||||
8 | shall file separate returns for each such
registered business. | ||||||
9 | Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall | ||||||
10 | pay into
the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special fund in | ||||||
11 | the State Treasury,
the net revenue realized for the preceding | ||||||
12 | month from the 1% tax on sales
of food for human consumption | ||||||
13 | which is to be consumed off the premises
where it is sold | ||||||
14 | (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
which has | ||||||
15 | been prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
| ||||||
16 | nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and | ||||||
17 | insulin, urine
testing materials, syringes and needles used by | ||||||
18 | diabetics. | ||||||
19 | Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall | ||||||
20 | pay into
the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 20% of the | ||||||
21 | net revenue realized
for the preceding month from the 6.25% | ||||||
22 | general rate on transfers of
tangible personal property, other | ||||||
23 | than tangible personal property which is
purchased outside | ||||||
24 | Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is titled or
| ||||||
25 | registered by an agency of this State's government. | ||||||
26 | Beginning August 1, 2000, each
month the Department shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pay into the
State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the | ||||||
2 | net revenue realized for the
preceding
month from the 1.25% | ||||||
3 | rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol. | ||||||
4 | Beginning October 1, 2009, each month the Department shall | ||||||
5 | pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to | ||||||
6 | an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the | ||||||
7 | net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of | ||||||
8 | candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had | ||||||
9 | been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that | ||||||
10 | are is now taxed at 6.25%. | ||||||
11 | Beginning July 1, 2013, each month the Department shall pay | ||||||
12 | into the Underground Storage Tank Fund from the proceeds | ||||||
13 | collected under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service | ||||||
14 | Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act an | ||||||
15 | amount equal to the average monthly deficit in the Underground | ||||||
16 | Storage Tank Fund during the prior year, as certified annually | ||||||
17 | by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, but the total | ||||||
18 | payment into the Underground Storage Tank Fund under this Act, | ||||||
19 | the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the | ||||||
20 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed $18,000,000 in | ||||||
21 | any State fiscal year. As used in this paragraph, the "average | ||||||
22 | monthly deficit" shall be equal to the difference between the | ||||||
23 | average monthly claims for payment by the fund and the average | ||||||
24 | monthly revenues deposited into the fund, excluding payments | ||||||
25 | made pursuant to this paragraph. | ||||||
26 | Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pursuant
to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the | ||||||
2 | Build
Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on | ||||||
3 | and after July 1,
1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the | ||||||
4 | Build Illinois Fund; provided,
however, that if in any fiscal | ||||||
5 | year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or

11 | the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate
of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case | ||||||
12 | may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the
"Tax Act | ||||||
13 | Amount", and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois | ||||||
14 | Fund
from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be | ||||||
15 | less than the
Annual Specified Amount (as defined in Section 3 | ||||||
16 | of the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act), an amount equal to the | ||||||
17 | difference shall be immediately
paid into the Build Illinois | ||||||
18 | Fund from other moneys received by the
Department pursuant to | ||||||
19 | the Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the

20 | business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount | ||||||
21 | required

1 | Illinois
Fund from other moneys received by the Department | ||||||
2 | pursuant to the Tax Acts;
and, further provided, that in no | ||||||
3 | event shall the payments required under
the preceding proviso | ||||||
4 | result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois
Fund | ||||||
5 | pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of | ||||||
6 | the
greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual | ||||||
7 | Specified Amount for
such fiscal year; and, further provided, | ||||||
8 | that the amounts payable into the
Build Illinois Fund under | ||||||
9 | this clause (b) shall be payable only until such
time as the | ||||||
10 | aggregate amount on deposit under each trust indenture securing
| ||||||
11 | Bonds issued and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois | ||||||
12 | Bond Act is
sufficient, taking into account any future | ||||||
13 | investment income, to fully
provide, in accordance with such | ||||||
14 | indenture, for the defeasance of or the

1 | Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this | ||||||
2 | Section,
the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of | ||||||
3 | the "selling price",
as defined in Section 2 of the Service Use | ||||||
4 | Tax Act, of the tangible
personal property. For the purpose of | ||||||
5 | computing this tax, in no event
shall the "selling price" be | ||||||
6 | less than the cost price to the serviceman of
the tangible | ||||||
7 | personal property transferred. The selling price of each item
| ||||||
8 | of tangible personal property transferred as an incident of a | ||||||
9 | sale of
service may be shown as a distinct and separate item on | ||||||
10 | the serviceman's
billing to the service customer. If the | ||||||
11 | selling price is not so shown, the
selling price of the | ||||||
12 | tangible personal property is deemed to be 50% of the
| ||||||
13 | serviceman's entire billing to the service customer. When, | ||||||
14 | however, a
serviceman contracts to design, develop, and produce | ||||||
15 | special order machinery or
equipment, the tax imposed by this | ||||||
16 | Act shall be based on the serviceman's
cost price of the | ||||||
17 | tangible personal property transferred incident to the
| ||||||
18 | completion of the contract.
| ||||||
19 | Beginning on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000, | ||||||
20 | with respect to
motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of the | ||||||
21 | Motor Fuel Tax
Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40 of | ||||||
22 | the Use Tax Act, the tax is
imposed at
the rate of 1.25%.
| ||||||
23 | With respect to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act, the | ||||||
24 | tax imposed
by this Act shall apply to (i) 70% of the cost | ||||||
25 | price of property
transferred as
an incident to the sale of | ||||||
26 | service on or after January 1, 1990, and before
July 1, 2003, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (ii) 80% of the selling price of property transferred as an
| ||||||
2 | incident to the sale of service on or after July
1, 2003 and on | ||||||
3 | or before December 31, 2018, and (iii) 100%
of
the cost price
| ||||||
4 | thereafter.
If, at any time, however, the tax under this Act on | ||||||
5 | sales of gasohol, as
defined in
the Use Tax Act, is imposed at | ||||||
6 | the rate of 1.25%, then the
tax imposed by this Act applies to | ||||||
7 | 100% of the proceeds of sales of gasohol
made during that time.
| ||||||
8 | With respect to majority blended ethanol fuel, as defined | ||||||
9 | in the Use Tax Act,
the
tax
imposed by this Act does not apply | ||||||
10 | to the selling price of property transferred
as an incident to | ||||||
11 | the sale of service on or after July 1, 2003 and on or before
| ||||||
12 | December 31, 2018 but applies to 100% of the selling price | ||||||
13 | thereafter.
| ||||||
14 | With respect to biodiesel blends, as defined in the Use Tax | ||||||
15 | Act, with no less
than 1% and no
more than 10% biodiesel, the | ||||||
16 | tax imposed by this Act
applies to (i) 80% of the selling price | ||||||
17 | of property transferred as an incident
to the sale of service | ||||||
18 | on or after July 1, 2003 and on or before December 31, 2018
and | ||||||
19 | (ii) 100% of the proceeds of the selling price
thereafter.
If, | ||||||
20 | at any time, however, the tax under this Act on sales of | ||||||
21 | biodiesel blends,
as
defined in the Use Tax Act, with no less | ||||||
22 | than 1% and no more than 10% biodiesel
is imposed at the rate | ||||||
23 | of 1.25%, then the
tax imposed by this Act applies to 100% of | ||||||
24 | the proceeds of sales of biodiesel
blends with no less than 1% | ||||||
25 | and no more than 10% biodiesel
made
during that time.
| ||||||
26 | With respect to 100% biodiesel, as defined in the Use Tax |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act, and biodiesel
blends, as defined in the Use Tax Act, with
| ||||||
2 | more than 10% but no more than 99% biodiesel material, the tax | ||||||
3 | imposed by this
Act
does not apply to the proceeds of the | ||||||
4 | selling price of property transferred

| ||||||
6 | December 31, 2018 but applies to 100% of the selling price | ||||||
7 | thereafter.
| ||||||
8 | At the election of any registered serviceman made for each | ||||||
9 | fiscal year,
sales of service in which the aggregate annual | ||||||
10 | cost price of tangible
personal property transferred as an | ||||||
11 | incident to the sales of service is
less than 35%, or 75% in | ||||||
12 | the case of servicemen transferring prescription
drugs or | ||||||
13 | servicemen engaged in graphic arts production, of the aggregate
| ||||||
14 | annual total gross receipts from all sales of service, the tax | ||||||
15 | imposed by
this Act shall be based on the serviceman's cost | ||||||
16 | price of the tangible
personal property transferred incident to | ||||||
17 | the sale of those services.
| ||||||
18 | The tax shall be imposed at the rate of 1% on food prepared | ||||||
19 | for
immediate consumption and transferred incident to a sale of | ||||||
20 | service subject
to this Act or the Service Occupation Tax Act | ||||||
21 | by an entity licensed under

21 | Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect | ||||||
22 | the tax
herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount | ||||||

7 | is revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the | ||||||
8 | Department's decision to revoke the certificate of | ||||||
9 | registration has become final. | ||||||
10 | Where such tangible personal property is sold under a | ||||||
11 | conditional
sales contract, or under any other form of sale | ||||||
12 | wherein the payment of
the principal sum, or a part thereof, is | ||||||
13 | extended beyond the close of
the period for which the return is | ||||||
14 | filed, the serviceman, in collecting
the tax may collect, for | ||||||
15 | each tax return period, only the tax applicable
to the part of | ||||||
16 | the selling price actually received during such tax return
| ||||||
17 | period. | ||||||

If so required, a return for each calendar |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | quarter shall be filed on or

20 | the proper notice

21 | the return shall be considered
valid and any amount shown to be | ||||||
22 | due on the return shall be deemed assessed. | ||||||
23 | Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1, | ||||||
24 | 2004 a serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit | ||||||
25 | certification
from a purchaser in satisfaction
of Service Use | ||||||
26 | Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the
Service Use Tax Act if |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the purchaser provides
the
appropriate
documentation as | ||||||
2 | required by Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act.
A | ||||||
3 | Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted prior | ||||||
4 | to October 1,
2003 or on or after September 1, 2004 by a | ||||||
5 | serviceman as
provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax | ||||||

serviceman to satisfy Service | ||||||
7 | Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in
the | ||||||
8 | certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to | ||||||
9 | tax from a

Purchase Credit may be used after September | ||||||
16 | 30, 2003 through August 31, 2004 to
satisfy any
tax liability | ||||||
17 | imposed under this Act, including any audit liability. | ||||||
18 | If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
the | ||||||
19 | Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize | ||||||
20 | his
returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the | ||||||
21 | return for
January, February and March of a given year being | ||||||
22 | due by April 20 of
such year; with the return for April, May | ||||||
23 | and June of a given year being
due by July 20 of such year; with | ||||||
24 | the return for July, August and
September of a given year being | ||||||
25 | due by October 20 of such year, and with
the return for | ||||||
26 | October, November and December of a given year being due
by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | January 20 of the following year. | ||||||
2 | If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
the | ||||||
3 | Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize | ||||||
4 | his
returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return for | ||||||
5 | a given year
being due by January 20 of the following year. | ||||||
6 | Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and | ||||||
7 | substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly | ||||||
8 | returns. | ||||||
9 | Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning | ||||||
10 | the time within
which a serviceman may file his return, in the | ||||||
11 | case of any serviceman who
ceases to engage in a kind of | ||||||
12 | business which makes him responsible for filing
returns under | ||||||
13 | this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
| ||||||
14 | Act with the Department not more than 1 month after | ||||||
15 | discontinuing such
business. | ||||||
16 | Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average | ||||||
17 | monthly tax
liability of $150,000 or more shall make all | ||||||
18 | payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic | ||||||
19 | funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer
who has | ||||||
20 | an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make | ||||||
21 | all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic | ||||||
22 | funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has | ||||||
23 | an average monthly tax liability
of $50,000 or more shall make | ||||||
24 | all payments required by rules of the Department
by electronic | ||||||
25 | funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
| ||||||
26 | an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | payments required by
rules of the Department by electronic | ||||||
2 | funds transfer. The term "annual tax
liability" shall be the | ||||||
3 | sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and
under all | ||||||
4 | other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered | ||||||
5 | by the
Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year. | ||||||
6 | The term "average
monthly tax liability" means
the sum of the | ||||||
7 | taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other | ||||||
8 | State
and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the | ||||||
9 | Department, for the
immediately preceding calendar year | ||||||
10 | divided by 12.
Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has | ||||||
11 | a tax liability in the
amount set forth in subsection (b) of | ||||||
12 | Section 2505-210 of the Department of
Revenue Law shall make | ||||||
13 | all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic | ||||||
14 | funds transfer. | ||||||
15 | Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the | ||||||
16 | Department shall
notify all taxpayers required to make payments | ||||||
17 | by electronic funds transfer.
All taxpayers required to make | ||||||
18 | payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
those payments | ||||||
19 | for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1. | ||||||
20 | Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic | ||||||
21 | funds transfer may
make payments by electronic funds transfer | ||||||
22 | with the
permission of the Department. | ||||||
23 | All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds | ||||||
24 | transfer and
any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make | ||||||
25 | payments by electronic funds
transfer shall make those payments | ||||||
26 | in the manner authorized by the Department. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to | ||||||
2 | effectuate a
program of electronic funds transfer and the | ||||||
3 | requirements of this Section. | ||||||
4 | Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the | ||||||
5 | selling price of
tangible personal property which he sells and | ||||||
6 | the purchaser thereafter returns
such tangible personal | ||||||
7 | property and the serviceman refunds the
selling price thereof | ||||||
8 | to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund,
to the | ||||||
9 | purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
filing | ||||||
10 | his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
| ||||||
11 | purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the tax so | ||||||
12 | refunded by
him to the purchaser from any other Service | ||||||
13 | Occupation Tax, Service Use
Tax, Retailers' Occupation Tax or | ||||||
14 | Use Tax which such serviceman may be
required to pay or remit | ||||||
15 | to the Department, as shown by such return,
provided that the | ||||||
16 | amount of the tax to be deducted shall previously have
been | ||||||
17 | remitted to the Department by such serviceman. If the | ||||||
18 | serviceman shall
not previously have remitted the amount of | ||||||
19 | such tax to the Department,
he shall be entitled to no | ||||||
20 | deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
to the purchaser. | ||||||
21 | If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the | ||||||
22 | Department
may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint | ||||||
23 | return which will
enable servicemen, who are required to file | ||||||
24 | returns
hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax | ||||||
25 | Act, the Use
Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, to furnish all | ||||||
26 | the return
information required by all said Acts on the one |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | form. | ||||||
2 | Where the serviceman has more than one business
registered | ||||||
3 | with the Department under separate registrations hereunder,
| ||||||
4 | such serviceman shall file separate returns for each
registered | ||||||
5 | business. | ||||||
6 | Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall | ||||||
7 | pay into
the Local Government Tax Fund the revenue realized for | ||||||
8 | the
preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of food for human | ||||||
9 | consumption
which is to be consumed off the premises where it | ||||||
10 | is sold (other than
alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food | ||||||
11 | which has been prepared for
immediate consumption) and | ||||||
12 | prescription and nonprescription medicines,
drugs, medical | ||||||
13 | appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes
and | ||||||
14 | needles used by diabetics. | ||||||
15 | Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall | ||||||
16 | pay into
the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the | ||||||
17 | revenue realized
for the preceding month from the 6.25% general | ||||||
18 | rate. | ||||||
19 | Beginning August 1, 2000, each
month the Department shall | ||||||
20 | pay into the
County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the | ||||||
21 | net revenue realized for the
preceding month from the 1.25% | ||||||
22 | rate on the selling price of motor fuel and
gasohol. | ||||||
23 | Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall | ||||||
24 | pay into
the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the revenue | ||||||
25 | realized for the
preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on | ||||||
26 | transfers of
tangible personal property. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Beginning August 1, 2000, each
month the Department shall | ||||||
2 | pay into the
Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue | ||||||
3 | realized for the preceding
month from the 1.25% rate on the | ||||||

the notice. | ||||||
19 | Such annual return to the Department shall include a

23 | gross receipts reported to
the Department of Revenue for the | ||||||
24 | same period, the taxpayer shall attach
to his annual return a | ||||||
25 | schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
amounts and the | ||||||
26 | reasons for the difference. The taxpayer's annual
return to the |
| |||||||

10 | provided for in this
Section. | ||||||
11 | If the annual information return required by this Section | ||||||
12 | is not
filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable | ||||||
13 | as follows: | ||||||
14 | (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be liable
| ||||||
15 | for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such | ||||||
16 | taxpayer
under this Act during the period to be covered by | ||||||
17 | the annual return
for each month or fraction of a month | ||||||
18 | until such return is filed as
required, the penalty to be | ||||||
19 | assessed and collected in the same manner
as any other | ||||||
20 | penalty provided for in this Act. | ||||||
21 | (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall | ||||||
22 | be liable for a
penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the | ||||||
23 | Uniform Penalty and Interest Act. | ||||||
24 | The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest | ||||||
25 | ranking
manager shall sign the annual return to certify the | ||||||
26 | accuracy of the
information contained therein. Any person who |
| |||||||
| |||||||

of perjury and punished | ||||||
3 | accordingly. The annual return form prescribed
by the | ||||||
4 | Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
| ||||||
5 | return may be liable for perjury. | ||||||
6 | The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the filing | ||||||
7 | of an
annual information return shall not apply to a serviceman | ||||||
8 | who is not
required to file an income tax return with the | ||||||

10 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon | ||||||
11 | certification
of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller | ||||||
12 | shall order transferred and
the Treasurer shall transfer from | ||||||
13 | the General Revenue Fund to the Motor
Fuel Tax Fund an amount | ||||||
14 | equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized
under this Act | ||||||
15 | for the second preceding month.
Beginning April 1, 2000, this | ||||||
16 | transfer is no longer required
and shall not be made. | ||||||
17 | Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue | ||||||
18 | collected by the State
pursuant to this Act, less the amount | ||||||
19 | paid out during that month as

23 | products are sold by numerous
servicemen in Illinois, and who | ||||||
24 | wish to do so, to
assume the responsibility for accounting and | ||||||
25 | paying to the Department
all tax accruing under this Act with | ||||||
26 | respect to such sales, if the
servicemen who are affected do |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | not make written objection to the
Department to this | ||||||
2 | arrangement. | ||||||

15 | of the statement in his or her records. Nothing in this item | ||||||
16 | shall be construed to require the removal of the vehicle from | ||||||
17 | this state following the filing of an intent to title the | ||||||
18 | vehicle in the purchaser's state of residence if the purchaser | ||||||
19 | titles the vehicle in his or her state of residence within 30 | ||||||

1 | this State without a
certificate of registration from the | ||||||
2 | Department. Application

5 | state: (1) the name and social security number of the
| ||||||
6 | applicant; (2) the address of his principal place
of business; | ||||||
7 | (3) the address of the principal place of business from which
| ||||||

(enumerating such addresses, if any, | ||||||
11 | in a separate list attached to and
made a part of the | ||||||
12 | application), from which he engages in the business of
selling | ||||||
13 | tangible personal property at retail in this State; (4)
the
| ||||||
14 | name and address of the person or persons who will be | ||||||

20 | digits of each of their social security numbers, and , in the
| ||||||
21 | case of
all other corporations, the name, title, and social | ||||||
22 | security number of
each corporate officer; (6) in the case of a | ||||||
23 | limited liability
company, the
name, social security number, | ||||||
24 | and FEIN number of
each
manager and member; and (7) such other | ||||||
25 | information
as the Department may reasonably require. The | ||||||
26 | application shall contain
an acceptance of responsibility |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | signed by the person or persons who will be
responsible for | ||||||
2 | filing returns and payment of the taxes due under this
Act. If | ||||||
3 | the applicant will sell tangible personal property at retail
| ||||||
4 | through vending machines, his application to register shall | ||||||
5 | indicate the
number of vending machines to be so operated. If | ||||||
6 | requested by the Department at any time, that person shall | ||||||
7 | verify the total number of vending machines he or she uses in | ||||||
8 | his or her business of selling tangible personal property at | ||||||
9 | retail. | ||||||
10 | The Department may deny a certificate of registration to | ||||||
11 | any applicant
if a person who is named as the owner, a partner, | ||||||
12 | a manager or member of a limited liability
company, or a | ||||||
13 | corporate officer of the applicant on the application for the | ||||||
14 | certificate of registration , is or
has been named as the owner, | ||||||
15 | a partner, a manager or member of a limited
liability company, | ||||||
16 | or a corporate officer , on the application for the certificate | ||||||
17 | of registration of another retailer
that is in default for | ||||||
18 | moneys due under this Act or any other tax or fee Act | ||||||
19 | administered by the Department. For purposes of this paragraph | ||||||
20 | only, in determining whether a person is in default for moneys | ||||||
21 | due, the Department shall include only amounts established as a | ||||||
22 | final liability within the 20 years prior to the date of the | ||||||
23 | Department's notice of denial of a certificate of registration. | ||||||
24 | The Department may require an applicant for a certificate | ||||||
25 | of registration hereunder to, at
the time of filing such | ||||||
26 | application, furnish a bond from a surety company
authorized to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | do business in the State of Illinois, or an irrevocable
bank | ||||||
2 | letter of credit or a bond signed by 2
personal sureties who | ||||||
3 | have filed, with the Department, sworn statements
disclosing | ||||||
4 | net assets equal to at least 3 times the amount of the bond to
| ||||||
5 | be required of such applicant, or a bond secured by an | ||||||
6 | assignment of a bank
account or certificate of deposit, stocks | ||||||
7 | or bonds, conditioned upon the
applicant paying to the State of | ||||||
8 | Illinois all moneys becoming due under
this Act and under any | ||||||
9 | other State tax law or municipal or county tax
ordinance or | ||||||
10 | resolution under which the certificate of registration that is
| ||||||
11 | issued to the applicant under this Act will permit the | ||||||
12 | applicant to engage
in business without registering separately | ||||||
13 | under such other law, ordinance
or resolution. In making a | ||||||
14 | determination as to whether to require a bond or other | ||||||
15 | security, the Department shall take into consideration whether | ||||||
16 | the owner, any partner, any manager or member of a limited | ||||||
17 | liability company, or a corporate officer of the applicant is | ||||||
18 | or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or member of a | ||||||
19 | limited liability company, or a corporate officer of another | ||||||
20 | retailer that is in default for moneys due under this Act or | ||||||
21 | any other tax or fee Act administered by the Department; and | ||||||
22 | whether the owner, any partner, any manager or member of a | ||||||
23 | limited liability company, or a corporate officer of the | ||||||
24 | applicant is or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or | ||||||
25 | member of a limited liability company, or a corporate officer | ||||||
26 | of another retailer whose certificate of registration has been |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | revoked within the previous 5 years under this Act or any other | ||||||
2 | tax or fee Act administered by the Department. If a bond or | ||||||
3 | other security is required, the Department shall fix the amount | ||||||
4 | of the bond or other security, taking into consideration the | ||||||
5 | amount of money expected to become due from the applicant under | ||||||
6 | this Act and under any other State tax law or municipal or | ||||||
7 | county tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate | ||||||
8 | of registration that is issued to the applicant under this Act | ||||||
9 | will permit the applicant to engage in business without | ||||||
10 | registering separately under such other law, ordinance, or | ||||||
11 | resolution. The amount of security required by
the Department | ||||||
12 | shall be such as, in its opinion, will protect the State of
| ||||||
13 | Illinois against failure to pay the amount which may become due | ||||||
14 | from the
applicant under this Act and under any other State tax | ||||||
15 | law or municipal or
county tax ordinance or resolution under | ||||||
16 | which the certificate of
registration that is issued to the | ||||||
17 | applicant under this Act will permit the
applicant to engage in | ||||||
18 | business without registering separately under such
other law, | ||||||
19 | ordinance or resolution, but the amount of the security | ||||||
20 | required
by the Department shall not exceed three times the | ||||||
21 | amount of the
applicant's average monthly tax liability, or | ||||||
22 | $50,000.00, whichever amount
is lower. | ||||||
23 | No certificate of registration under this Act shall be | ||||||
24 | issued by the
Department until the applicant provides the | ||||||
25 | Department with satisfactory
security, if required, as herein | ||||||
26 | provided for. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Upon receipt of the application for certificate of | ||||||
2 | registration in
proper form, and upon approval by the | ||||||
3 | Department of the security furnished
by the applicant, if | ||||||
4 | required, the Department shall issue to such applicant a
| ||||||
5 | certificate of registration which shall permit the person to | ||||||
6 | whom it is
issued to engage in the business of selling tangible | ||||||
7 | personal property at
retail in this State. The certificate of | ||||||
8 | registration shall be
conspicuously displayed at the place of | ||||||
9 | business which the person so
registered states in his | ||||||
10 | application to be the principal place of business
from which he | ||||||
11 | engages in the business of selling tangible personal property
| ||||||
12 | at retail in this State. | ||||||
13 | No certificate of registration issued to a taxpayer who | ||||||
14 | files returns
required by this Act on a monthly basis shall be | ||||||
15 | valid after the expiration
of 5 years from the date of its | ||||||
16 | issuance or last renewal. The expiration
date of a | ||||||
17 | sub-certificate of registration shall be that of the | ||||||
18 | certificate
of registration to which the sub-certificate | ||||||
19 | relates. A certificate of
registration shall automatically be | ||||||
20 | renewed, subject to revocation as
provided by this Act, for an | ||||||
21 | additional 5 years from the date of its
expiration unless | ||||||
22 | otherwise notified by the Department as provided by this
| ||||||
23 | paragraph. Where a taxpayer to whom a certificate of | ||||||
24 | registration is
issued under this Act is in default to the | ||||||
25 | State of Illinois for delinquent
returns or for moneys due
| ||||||
26 | under this Act or any other State tax law or municipal or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | county ordinance
administered or enforced by the Department, | ||||||
2 | the Department shall, not less
than 120 days before the | ||||||
3 | expiration date of such certificate of
registration, give | ||||||
4 | notice to the taxpayer to whom the certificate was
issued of | ||||||
5 | the account period of the delinquent returns, the amount of
| ||||||
6 | tax,
penalty and interest due and owing from the
taxpayer, and | ||||||
7 | that the certificate of registration shall not be
automatically | ||||||
8 | renewed upon its expiration date unless the taxpayer, on or
| ||||||
9 | before the date of expiration, has filed and paid the | ||||||
10 | delinquent returns or
paid the defaulted amount in full. A
| ||||||
11 | taxpayer to whom such a notice is issued shall be deemed an | ||||||
12 | applicant for
renewal. The Department shall promulgate | ||||||
13 | regulations establishing
procedures for taxpayers who file | ||||||
14 | returns on a monthly basis but desire and
qualify to change to | ||||||
15 | a quarterly or yearly filing basis and will no longer
be | ||||||
16 | subject to renewal under this Section, and for taxpayers who | ||||||
17 | file
returns on a yearly or quarterly basis but who desire or | ||||||
18 | are required to
change to a monthly filing basis and will be | ||||||
19 | subject to renewal under
this Section. | ||||||
20 | The Department may in its discretion approve renewal by an | ||||||
21 | applicant
who is in default if, at the time of application for | ||||||
22 | renewal, the applicant
files all of the delinquent returns or | ||||||
23 | pays to the Department such
percentage of the defaulted amount | ||||||
24 | as may be
determined by the Department and agrees in writing to | ||||||
25 | waive all limitations
upon the Department for collection of the | ||||||
26 | remaining defaulted amount to the
Department over a period not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to exceed 5 years from the date of renewal of
the certificate; | ||||||
2 | however, no renewal application submitted by an applicant
who | ||||||
3 | is in default shall be approved if the immediately preceding | ||||||
4 | renewal by
the applicant was conditioned upon the installment | ||||||
5 | payment
agreement described in this Section. The payment | ||||||
6 | agreement herein provided
for shall be in addition to and not | ||||||
7 | in lieu of the security that may be required by
this Section of | ||||||
8 | a taxpayer who is no longer considered a prior continuous
| ||||||
9 | compliance taxpayer. The execution of the payment agreement as | ||||||
10 | provided in
this Act shall not toll the accrual of interest at | ||||||
11 | the statutory rate. | ||||||
12 | The Department may suspend a certificate of registration if | ||||||
13 | the Department finds that the person to whom the certificate of | ||||||
14 | registration has been issued knowingly sold contraband | ||||||
15 | cigarettes. | ||||||
16 | A certificate of registration issued under this Act more | ||||||
17 | than 5 years
before the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
18 | of 1989 shall expire and
be subject to the renewal provisions | ||||||
19 | of this Section on the next
anniversary of the date of issuance | ||||||
20 | of such certificate which occurs more
than 6 months after the | ||||||
21 | effective date of this amendatory Act of 1989. A
certificate of | ||||||
22 | registration issued less than 5 years before the effective
date | ||||||
23 | of this amendatory Act of 1989 shall expire and be subject to | ||||||
24 | the
renewal provisions of this Section on the 5th anniversary | ||||||
25 | of the issuance
of the certificate. | ||||||
26 | If the person so registered states that he operates other |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | places of
business from which he engages in the business of | ||||||
2 | selling tangible personal
property at retail in this State, the | ||||||
3 | Department shall furnish him with a
sub-certificate of | ||||||
4 | registration for each such place of business, and the
applicant | ||||||
5 | shall display the appropriate sub-certificate of registration | ||||||
6 | at
each such place of business. All sub-certificates of | ||||||
7 | registration shall
bear the same registration number as that | ||||||
8 | appearing upon the certificate of
registration to which such | ||||||
9 | sub-certificates relate. | ||||||
10 | If the applicant will sell tangible personal property at | ||||||
11 | retail through
vending machines, the Department shall furnish | ||||||
12 | him with a sub-certificate
of registration for each such | ||||||
13 | vending machine, and the applicant shall
display the | ||||||
14 | appropriate sub-certificate of registration on each such
| ||||||
15 | vending machine by attaching the sub-certificate of | ||||||
16 | registration to a
conspicuous part of such vending machine. If | ||||||
17 | a person who is registered to sell tangible personal property | ||||||
18 | at retail through vending machines adds an additional vending | ||||||
19 | machine or additional vending machines to the number of vending | ||||||
20 | machines he or she uses in his or her business of selling | ||||||
21 | tangible personal property at retail, he or she shall notify | ||||||
22 | the Department, on a form prescribed by the Department, to | ||||||
23 | request an additional sub-certificate or additional | ||||||
24 | sub-certificates of registration, as applicable. With each | ||||||
25 | such request, the applicant shall report the number of | ||||||
26 | sub-certificates of registration he or she is requesting as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | well as the total number of vending machines from which he or | ||||||
2 | she makes retail sales. | ||||||
3 | Where the same person engages in 2 or more businesses of | ||||||
4 | selling
tangible personal property at retail in this State, | ||||||
5 | which businesses are
substantially different in character or | ||||||
6 | engaged in under different trade
names or engaged in under | ||||||
7 | other substantially dissimilar circumstances (so
that it is | ||||||
8 | more practicable, from an accounting, auditing or bookkeeping
| ||||||
9 | standpoint, for such businesses to be separately registered), | ||||||
10 | the
Department may require or permit such person (subject to | ||||||
11 | the same
requirements concerning the furnishing of security as | ||||||
12 | those that are
provided for hereinbefore in this Section as to | ||||||
13 | each application for a
certificate of registration) to apply | ||||||
14 | for and obtain a separate certificate
of registration for each | ||||||
15 | such business or for any of such businesses, under
a single | ||||||
16 | certificate of registration supplemented by related
| ||||||
17 | sub-certificates of registration. | ||||||
18 | Any person who is registered under the "Retailers' | ||||||
19 | Occupation Tax Act"
as of March 8, 1963, and who, during the | ||||||
20 | 3-year period immediately prior to
March 8, 1963, or during a | ||||||
21 | continuous 3-year period part of which passed
immediately | ||||||
22 | before and the remainder of which passes immediately after
| ||||||
23 | March 8, 1963, has been so registered continuously and who is | ||||||
24 | determined by
the Department not to have been either delinquent | ||||||
25 | or deficient in the
payment of tax liability during that period | ||||||
26 | under this Act or under any
other State tax law or municipal or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | county tax ordinance or resolution
under which the certificate | ||||||
2 | of registration that is issued to the
registrant under this Act | ||||||
3 | will permit the registrant to engage in business
without | ||||||
4 | registering separately under such other law, ordinance or
| ||||||
5 | resolution, shall be considered to be a Prior Continuous | ||||||
6 | Compliance
taxpayer. Also any taxpayer who has, as verified by | ||||||
7 | the Department,
faithfully and continuously complied with the | ||||||
8 | condition of his bond or
other security under the provisions of | ||||||
9 | this Act for a period of 3
consecutive years shall be | ||||||
10 | considered to be a Prior Continuous Compliance
taxpayer. | ||||||
11 | Every Prior Continuous Compliance taxpayer shall be exempt | ||||||
12 | from all
requirements under this Act concerning the furnishing | ||||||
13 | of a bond or other security as a
condition precedent to his | ||||||
14 | being authorized to engage in the business of
selling tangible | ||||||
15 | personal property at retail in this State. This exemption
shall | ||||||
16 | continue for each such taxpayer until such time as he may be
| ||||||
17 | determined by the Department to be delinquent in the filing of | ||||||
18 | any returns,
or is determined by the Department (either through | ||||||
19 | the Department's
issuance of a final assessment which has | ||||||
20 | become final under the Act, or by
the taxpayer's filing of a | ||||||
21 | return which admits tax that is not paid to be
due) to be | ||||||
22 | delinquent or deficient in the paying of any tax under this Act
| ||||||
23 | or under any other State tax law or municipal or county tax | ||||||
24 | ordinance or
resolution under which the certificate of | ||||||
25 | registration that is issued to
the registrant under this Act | ||||||
26 | will permit the registrant to engage in
business without |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | registering separately under such other law, ordinance or
| ||||||
2 | resolution, at which time that taxpayer shall become subject to | ||||||
3 | all the
financial responsibility requirements of this Act and, | ||||||
4 | as a condition of
being allowed to continue to engage in the | ||||||
5 | business of selling tangible
personal property at retail, may | ||||||
6 | be required to post bond or other
acceptable security with the | ||||||
7 | Department covering liability which such
taxpayer may | ||||||
8 | thereafter incur. Any taxpayer who fails to pay an admitted or
| ||||||
9 | established liability under this Act may also be required to | ||||||
10 | post bond or
other acceptable security with this Department | ||||||
11 | guaranteeing the payment of
such admitted or established | ||||||
12 | liability. | ||||||
13 | No certificate of registration shall be issued to any | ||||||
14 | person who is in
default to the State of Illinois for moneys | ||||||
15 | due under this Act or under any
other State tax law or | ||||||
16 | municipal or county tax ordinance or resolution
under which the | ||||||
17 | certificate of registration that is issued to the applicant
| ||||||
18 | under this Act will permit the applicant to engage in business | ||||||
19 | without
registering separately under such other law, ordinance | ||||||
20 | or resolution. | ||||||
21 | Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Department | ||||||
22 | under this
Section may, within 20 days after notice of such | ||||||
23 | decision, protest and
request a hearing, whereupon the | ||||||
24 | Department shall give notice to such
person of the time and | ||||||
25 | place fixed for such hearing and shall hold a
hearing in | ||||||
26 | conformity with the provisions of this Act and then issue its
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | final administrative decision in the matter to such person. In | ||||||
2 | the absence
of such a protest within 20 days, the Department's | ||||||
3 | decision shall become
final without any further determination | ||||||
4 | being made or notice given. | ||||||
5 | With respect to security other than bonds (upon which the | ||||||
6 | Department may
sue in the event of a forfeiture), if the | ||||||
7 | taxpayer fails to pay, when due,
any amount whose payment such | ||||||
8 | security guarantees, the Department shall,
after such | ||||||
9 | liability is admitted by the taxpayer or established by the
| ||||||
10 | Department through the issuance of a final assessment that has | ||||||
11 | become final
under the law, convert the security which that | ||||||
12 | taxpayer has furnished into
money for the State, after first | ||||||
13 | giving the taxpayer at least 10 days'
written notice, by | ||||||
14 | registered or certified mail, to pay the liability or
forfeit | ||||||
15 | such security to the Department. If the security consists of | ||||||
16 | stocks
or bonds or other securities which are listed on a | ||||||
17 | public exchange, the
Department shall sell such securities | ||||||
18 | through such public exchange. If
the security consists of an | ||||||
19 | irrevocable bank letter of credit, the
Department shall convert | ||||||
20 | the security in the manner provided for in the
Uniform | ||||||
21 | Commercial Code. If the security consists of a bank certificate | ||||||
22 | of
deposit, the Department shall convert the security into | ||||||
23 | money by demanding
and collecting the amount of such bank | ||||||
24 | certificate of deposit from the bank
which issued such | ||||||
25 | certificate. If the security consists of a type of stocks
or | ||||||
26 | other securities which are not listed on a public exchange, the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department shall sell such security to the highest and best | ||||||
2 | bidder after
giving at least 10 days' notice of the date, time | ||||||
3 | and place of the intended
sale by publication in the "State | ||||||
4 | Official Newspaper". If the Department
realizes more than the | ||||||
5 | amount of such liability from the security, plus the
expenses | ||||||
6 | incurred by the Department in converting the security into | ||||||
7 | money,
the Department shall pay such excess to the taxpayer who | ||||||
8 | furnished such
security, and the balance shall be paid into the | ||||||
9 | State Treasury. | ||||||
10 | The Department shall discharge any surety and shall release | ||||||
11 | and return
any security deposited, assigned, pledged or | ||||||
12 | otherwise provided to it by
a taxpayer under this Section | ||||||
13 | within 30 days after: | ||||||
14 | (1) such taxpayer becomes a Prior Continuous | ||||||
15 | Compliance taxpayer; or | ||||||
16 | (2) such taxpayer has ceased to collect receipts on | ||||||
17 | which he is required
to remit tax to the Department, has | ||||||
18 | filed a final tax return, and has paid
to the Department an | ||||||
19 | amount sufficient to discharge his remaining tax
| ||||||
20 | liability, as determined by the Department, under this Act | ||||||
21 | and under every
other State tax law or municipal or county | ||||||
22 | tax ordinance or resolution
under which the certificate of | ||||||
23 | registration issued under this Act permits
the registrant | ||||||
24 | to engage in business without registering separately under
| ||||||
25 | such other law, ordinance or resolution. The Department | ||||||
26 | shall make a final
determination of the taxpayer's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | outstanding tax liability as expeditiously
as possible | ||||||
2 | after his final tax return has been filed; if the | ||||||
3 | Department
cannot make such final determination within 45 | ||||||
4 | days after receiving the
final tax return, within such | ||||||
5 | period it shall so notify the taxpayer,
stating its reasons | ||||||
6 | therefor. | ||||||

| ||||||
9 | (35 ILCS 120/3) (from Ch. 120, par. 442)
| ||||||
10 | Sec. 3. Except as provided in this Section, on or before | ||||||
11 | the twentieth
day of each calendar month, every person engaged | ||||||
12 | in the business of
selling tangible personal property at retail | ||||||
13 | in this State during the
preceding calendar month shall file a | ||||||
14 | return with the Department, stating: | ||||||
15 | 1. The name of the seller; | ||||||
16 | 2. His residence address and the address of his | ||||||
17 | principal place of
business and the address of the | ||||||
18 | principal place of business (if that is
a different | ||||||
19 | address) from which he engages in the business of selling
| ||||||
20 | tangible personal property at retail in this State; | ||||||
21 | 3. Total amount of receipts received by him during the | ||||||
22 | preceding
calendar month or quarter, as the case may be, | ||||||
23 | from sales of tangible
personal property, and from services | ||||||
24 | furnished, by him during such
preceding calendar month or | ||||||
25 | quarter; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 4. Total amount received by him during the preceding | ||||||
2 | calendar month or
quarter on charge and time sales of | ||||||
3 | tangible personal property, and from
services furnished, | ||||||
4 | by him prior to the month or quarter for which the return
| ||||||
5 | is filed; | ||||||
6 | 5. Deductions allowed by law; | ||||||
7 | 6. Gross receipts which were received by him during the | ||||||
8 | preceding
calendar month or quarter and upon the basis of | ||||||
9 | which the tax is imposed; | ||||||
10 | 7. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this | ||||||
11 | Act; | ||||||
12 | 8. The amount of tax due; | ||||||
13 | 9. The signature of the taxpayer; and | ||||||
14 | 10. Such other reasonable information as the | ||||||
15 | Department may require. | ||||||
16 | If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after | ||||||
17 | the proper notice
and demand for signature by the Department, | ||||||
18 | the return shall be considered
valid and any amount shown to be | ||||||
19 | due on the return shall be deemed assessed. | ||||||
20 | Each return shall be accompanied by the statement of | ||||||
21 | prepaid tax issued
pursuant to Section 2e for which credit is | ||||||
22 | claimed. | ||||||
23 | Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1, | ||||||
24 | 2004 a retailer may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit
| ||||||
25 | certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax
as | ||||||
26 | provided in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the purchaser |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provides the
appropriate documentation as required by Section | ||||||
2 | 3-85
of the Use Tax Act. A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
| ||||||
3 | certification, accepted by a retailer prior to October 1, 2003 | ||||||
4 | and on and after September 1, 2004 as provided
in
Section 3-85 | ||||||
5 | of the Use Tax Act, may be used by that retailer to
satisfy | ||||||
6 | Retailers' Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in
| ||||||
7 | the certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts
subject | ||||||
8 | to tax from a qualifying purchase. A Manufacturer's Purchase | ||||||
9 | Credit
reported on any original or amended return
filed under
| ||||||
10 | this Act after October 20, 2003 for reporting periods prior to | ||||||
11 | September 1, 2004 shall be disallowed. Manufacturer's | ||||||
12 | Purchaser Credit reported on annual returns due on or after | ||||||
13 | January 1, 2005 will be disallowed for periods prior to | ||||||
14 | September 1, 2004. No Manufacturer's
Purchase Credit may be | ||||||
15 | used after September 30, 2003 through August 31, 2004 to
| ||||||
16 | satisfy any
tax liability imposed under this Act, including any | ||||||
17 | audit liability. | ||||||
18 | The Department may require returns to be filed on a | ||||||
19 | quarterly basis.
If so required, a return for each calendar | ||||||
20 | quarter shall be filed on or
before the twentieth day of the | ||||||
21 | calendar month following the end of such
calendar quarter. The | ||||||
22 | taxpayer shall also file a return with the
Department for each | ||||||
23 | of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
before | ||||||
24 | the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating: | ||||||
25 | 1. The name of the seller; | ||||||
26 | 2. The address of the principal place of business from |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | which he engages
in the business of selling tangible | ||||||
2 | personal property at retail in this State; | ||||||
3 | 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him | ||||||
4 | during the
preceding calendar month from sales of tangible | ||||||
5 | personal property by him
during such preceding calendar | ||||||
6 | month, including receipts from charge and
time sales, but | ||||||
7 | less all deductions allowed by law; | ||||||
8 | 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this | ||||||
9 | Act; | ||||||
10 | 5. The amount of tax due; and | ||||||
11 | 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department | ||||||
12 | may
require. | ||||||
13 | Beginning on October 1, 2003, any person who is not a | ||||||
14 | licensed
distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer, | ||||||
15 | as defined in the Liquor
Control Act of 1934, but is engaged in | ||||||
16 | the business of
selling, at retail, alcoholic liquor
shall file | ||||||
17 | a statement with the Department of Revenue, in a format
and at | ||||||
18 | a time prescribed by the Department, showing the total amount | ||||||
19 | paid for
alcoholic liquor purchased during the preceding month | ||||||
20 | and such other
information as is reasonably required by the | ||||||
21 | Department.
The Department may adopt rules to require
that this | ||||||
22 | statement be filed in an electronic or telephonic format. Such | ||||||
23 | rules
may provide for exceptions from the filing requirements | ||||||
24 | of this paragraph. For
the
purposes of this
paragraph, the term | ||||||
25 | "alcoholic liquor" shall have the meaning prescribed in the
| ||||||
26 | Liquor Control Act of 1934. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Beginning on October 1, 2003, every distributor, importing | ||||||
2 | distributor, and
manufacturer of alcoholic liquor as defined in | ||||||
3 | the Liquor Control Act of 1934,
shall file a
statement with the | ||||||
4 | Department of Revenue, no later than the 10th day of the
month | ||||||
5 | for the
preceding month during which transactions occurred, by | ||||||
6 | electronic means,
showing the
total amount of gross receipts | ||||||
7 | from the sale of alcoholic liquor sold or
distributed during
| ||||||
8 | the preceding month to purchasers; identifying the purchaser to | ||||||
9 | whom it was
sold or
distributed; the purchaser's tax | ||||||
10 | registration number; and such other
information
reasonably | ||||||
11 | required by the Department. A distributor, importing | ||||||
12 | distributor, or manufacturer of alcoholic liquor must | ||||||
13 | personally deliver, mail, or provide by electronic means to | ||||||
14 | each retailer listed on the monthly statement a report | ||||||
15 | containing a cumulative total of that distributor's, importing | ||||||
16 | distributor's, or manufacturer's total sales of alcoholic | ||||||
17 | liquor to that retailer no later than the 10th day of the month | ||||||
18 | for the preceding month during which the transaction occurred. | ||||||
19 | The distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer shall | ||||||
20 | notify the retailer as to the method by which the distributor, | ||||||
21 | importing distributor, or manufacturer will provide the sales | ||||||
22 | information. If the retailer is unable to receive the sales | ||||||
23 | information by electronic means, the distributor, importing | ||||||
24 | distributor, or manufacturer shall furnish the sales | ||||||
25 | information by personal delivery or by mail. For purposes of | ||||||
26 | this paragraph, the term "electronic means" includes, but is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | not limited to, the use of a secure Internet website, e-mail, | ||||||
2 | or facsimile. | ||||||
3 | If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable or | ||||||
4 | creditable,
such amount shall be disregarded if it is less than | ||||||
5 | 50 cents and shall be
increased to $1 if it is 50 cents or more. | ||||||
6 | Beginning October 1, 1993,
a taxpayer who has an average | ||||||
7 | monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall
make all | ||||||
8 | payments required by rules of the
Department by electronic | ||||||
9 | funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer
who has | ||||||
10 | an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make | ||||||
11 | all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic | ||||||
12 | funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has | ||||||
13 | an average monthly tax liability
of $50,000 or more shall make | ||||||
14 | all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic | ||||||
15 | funds transfer.
Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has | ||||||
16 | an annual tax liability of
$200,000 or more shall make all | ||||||
17 | payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic | ||||||
18 | funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the | ||||||
19 | sum of
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all | ||||||
20 | other State and local
occupation and use tax laws administered | ||||||
21 | by the Department, for the immediately
preceding calendar year.
| ||||||
22 | The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of | ||||||
23 | the
taxpayer's liabilities under this
Act, and under all other | ||||||
24 | State and local occupation and use tax
laws administered by the | ||||||
25 | Department, for the immediately preceding calendar
year | ||||||
26 | divided by 12.
Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a tax liability in the
amount set forth in subsection (b) of | ||||||
2 | Section 2505-210 of the Department of
Revenue Law shall make | ||||||
3 | all payments required by rules of the Department by
electronic | ||||||
4 | funds transfer. | ||||||
5 | Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the | ||||||
6 | Department shall
notify all taxpayers required to make payments | ||||||
7 | by electronic funds
transfer. All taxpayers
required to make | ||||||
8 | payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
payments | ||||||
9 | for
a minimum of one year beginning on October 1. | ||||||
10 | Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic | ||||||
11 | funds transfer may
make payments by electronic funds transfer | ||||||
12 | with
the permission of the Department. | ||||||
13 | All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds | ||||||
14 | transfer and
any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make | ||||||
15 | payments by electronic funds
transfer shall make those payments | ||||||
16 | in the manner authorized by the Department. | ||||||
17 | The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to | ||||||
18 | effectuate a
program of electronic funds transfer and the | ||||||
19 | requirements of this Section. | ||||||
20 | Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any | ||||||
21 | return or
other document under this Act shall, if such amount | ||||||
22 | is not a whole-dollar
amount, be increased to the nearest | ||||||
23 | whole-dollar amount in any case where
the fractional part of a | ||||||
24 | dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the
nearest | ||||||
25 | whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is | ||||||
26 | less
than 50 cents. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly | ||||||
2 | return and if the
retailer's average monthly tax liability to | ||||||
3 | the Department does not exceed
$200, the Department may | ||||||
4 | authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter
annual basis, | ||||||
5 | with the return for January, February and March of a given
year | ||||||
6 | being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, | ||||||
7 | May and
June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year; | ||||||
8 | with the return for
July, August and September of a given year | ||||||
9 | being due by October 20 of such
year, and with the return for | ||||||
10 | October, November and December of a given
year being due by | ||||||
11 | January 20 of the following year. | ||||||
12 | If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or | ||||||
13 | quarterly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax | ||||||
14 | liability with the
Department does not exceed $50, the | ||||||
15 | Department may authorize his returns to
be filed on an annual | ||||||
16 | basis, with the return for a given year being due by
January 20 | ||||||
17 | of the following year. | ||||||
18 | Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and | ||||||
19 | substance,
shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly | ||||||
20 | returns. | ||||||
21 | Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning | ||||||
22 | the time
within which a retailer may file his return, in the | ||||||
23 | case of any retailer
who ceases to engage in a kind of business | ||||||
24 | which makes him responsible
for filing returns under this Act, | ||||||
25 | such retailer shall file a final
return under this Act with the | ||||||
26 | Department not more than one month after
discontinuing such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | business. | ||||||
2 | Where the same person has more than one business registered | ||||||
3 | with the
Department under separate registrations under this | ||||||
4 | Act, such person may
not file each return that is due as a | ||||||
5 | single return covering all such
registered businesses, but | ||||||
6 | shall file separate returns for each such
registered business. | ||||||
7 | In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
| ||||||
8 | aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with | ||||||
9 | an agency of
this State, every
retailer selling this kind of | ||||||
10 | tangible personal property shall file,
with the Department, | ||||||
11 | upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
Department, a | ||||||
12 | separate return for each such item of tangible personal
| ||||||
13 | property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
| ||||||
14 | transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor | ||||||
15 | vehicles or
trailers transfers more than one aircraft, | ||||||
16 | watercraft, motor
vehicle or trailer to another aircraft, | ||||||
17 | watercraft, motor vehicle
retailer or trailer retailer for the | ||||||
18 | purpose of resale
or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, | ||||||
19 | motor vehicles, or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, | ||||||
20 | watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a
purchaser for use as | ||||||
21 | a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of
this | ||||||
22 | Act, then
that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
| ||||||
23 | watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that | ||||||
24 | transaction to the
Department on the same uniform | ||||||
25 | invoice-transaction reporting return form. For
purposes of | ||||||
26 | this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration | ||||||
2 | and Safety Act, a
personal watercraft, or any boat equipped | ||||||
3 | with an inboard motor. | ||||||
4 | Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
| ||||||
5 | aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with | ||||||
6 | an agency of
this State, so that all
retailers' occupation tax | ||||||
7 | liability is required to be reported, and is
reported, on such | ||||||
8 | transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
required | ||||||
9 | to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
| ||||||
10 | quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required | ||||||
11 | to
file returns on an annual basis. | ||||||
12 | The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor | ||||||
13 | vehicles
or trailers that are required to be registered with an | ||||||
14 | agency of this
State, shall
be the same document as the Uniform | ||||||
15 | Invoice referred to in Section 5-402
of The Illinois Vehicle | ||||||
16 | Code and must show the name and address of the
seller; the name | ||||||
17 | and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price | ||||||
18 | including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
| ||||||
19 | property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the | ||||||
20 | traded-in
tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to | ||||||
21 | which Section 1 of
this Act allows an exemption for the value | ||||||
22 | of traded-in property; the
balance payable after deducting such | ||||||
23 | trade-in allowance from the total
selling price; the amount of | ||||||
24 | tax due from the retailer with respect to
such transaction; the | ||||||
25 | amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the
retailer on | ||||||
26 | such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is
not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the | ||||||
2 | fact);
the place and date of the sale; a sufficient | ||||||
3 | identification of the
property sold; such other information as | ||||||
4 | is required in Section 5-402 of
The Illinois Vehicle Code, and | ||||||
5 | such other information as the Department
may reasonably | ||||||
6 | require. | ||||||
7 | The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
| ||||||
8 | or aircraft must show
the name and address of the seller; the | ||||||
9 | name and address of the
purchaser; the amount of the selling | ||||||
10 | price including the amount allowed
by the retailer for | ||||||
11 | traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by
the retailer | ||||||
12 | for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to
the | ||||||
13 | extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for | ||||||
14 | the
value of traded-in property; the balance payable after | ||||||
15 | deducting such
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; | ||||||
16 | the amount of tax due
from the retailer with respect to such | ||||||
17 | transaction; the amount of tax
collected from the purchaser by | ||||||
18 | the retailer on such transaction (or
satisfactory evidence that | ||||||
19 | such tax is not due in that particular
instance, if that is | ||||||
20 | claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the
sale, a | ||||||
21 | sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
| ||||||
22 | information as the Department may reasonably require. | ||||||
23 | Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later | ||||||
24 | than 20
days after the day of delivery of the item that is | ||||||
25 | being sold, but may
be filed by the retailer at any time sooner | ||||||
26 | than that if he chooses to
do so. The transaction reporting |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | return and tax remittance or proof of
exemption from the | ||||||
2 | Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department
by way of | ||||||
3 | the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
| ||||||
4 | tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if | ||||||
5 | titling or
registration is required) if the Department and such | ||||||
6 | agency or State
officer determine that this procedure will | ||||||
7 | expedite the processing of
applications for title or | ||||||
8 | registration. | ||||||
9 | With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer | ||||||
10 | shall remit
the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit | ||||||
11 | satisfactory evidence that
the sale is not taxable if that is | ||||||
12 | the case), to the Department or its
agents, whereupon the | ||||||
13 | Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a
use tax | ||||||
14 | receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
| ||||||
15 | satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such | ||||||
16 | purchaser
may submit to the agency with which, or State officer | ||||||
17 | with whom, he must
title or register the tangible personal | ||||||
18 | property that is involved (if
titling or registration is | ||||||
19 | required) in support of such purchaser's
application for an | ||||||
20 | Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or
registration | ||||||
21 | to such tangible personal property. | ||||||
22 | No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this | ||||||
23 | Act
precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the | ||||||
24 | retailer, from
obtaining his certificate of title or other | ||||||
25 | evidence of title or
registration (if titling or registration | ||||||
26 | is required) upon satisfying
the Department that such user has |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to
the retailer. The | ||||||
2 | Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out
the | ||||||
3 | mandate of this paragraph. | ||||||
4 | If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer | ||||||
5 | wants the
transaction reporting return filed and the payment of | ||||||
6 | the tax or proof
of exemption made to the Department before the | ||||||
7 | retailer is willing to
take these actions and such user has not | ||||||
8 | paid the tax to the retailer,
such user may certify to the fact | ||||||
9 | of such delay by the retailer and may
(upon the Department | ||||||
10 | being satisfied of the truth of such certification)
transmit | ||||||
11 | the information required by the transaction reporting return
| ||||||
12 | and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to | ||||||
13 | the
Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption | ||||||
14 | determination, in
which event the transaction reporting return | ||||||
15 | and tax remittance (if a
tax payment was required) shall be | ||||||
16 | credited by the Department to the
proper retailer's account | ||||||
17 | with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75%
discount | ||||||
18 | provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
| ||||||
19 | the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the | ||||||
20 | same
amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted | ||||||
21 | if the tax had
been remitted to the Department by the retailer. | ||||||
22 | Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return | ||||||
23 | period to
purchasers, on account of tangible personal property | ||||||
24 | returned to the
seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under | ||||||
25 | subdivision 5 of his monthly
or quarterly return, as the case | ||||||
26 | may be, in case the
seller had theretofore included the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | receipts from the sale of such
tangible personal property in a | ||||||
2 | return filed by him and had paid the tax
imposed by this Act | ||||||
3 | with respect to such receipts. | ||||||
4 | Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on | ||||||
5 | behalf of such
corporation shall be signed by the president, | ||||||
6 | vice-president, secretary
or treasurer or by the properly | ||||||
7 | accredited agent of such corporation. | ||||||
8 | Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return | ||||||
9 | filed on behalf
of the limited liability company shall be | ||||||
10 | signed by a manager, member, or
properly accredited agent of | ||||||
11 | the limited liability company. | ||||||
12 | Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the | ||||||
13 | return
under this Section shall, at the time of filing such | ||||||
14 | return, pay to the
Department the amount of tax imposed by this | ||||||
15 | Act less a discount of 2.1%
prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% | ||||||
16 | on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per
calendar year, | ||||||
17 | whichever is greater, which is allowed to
reimburse the | ||||||
18 | retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
| ||||||
19 | preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying | ||||||
20 | data to
the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant | ||||||
21 | to Section 2d
of this Act shall be included in the amount on | ||||||
22 | which such
2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of | ||||||
23 | retailers who report
and pay the tax on a transaction by | ||||||
24 | transaction basis, as provided in this
Section, such discount | ||||||
25 | shall be taken with each such tax remittance
instead of when | ||||||
26 | such retailer files his periodic return. The Department may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of | ||||||
2 | registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but | ||||||
3 | only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of | ||||||
4 | registration has become final. | ||||||
5 | Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly | ||||||
6 | tax liability
to the Department
under this Act, the Use Tax | ||||||
7 | Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, and the Service Use Tax | ||||||
8 | Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales
tax to be | ||||||
9 | remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was
$10,000
| ||||||
10 | or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he | ||||||
11 | shall file a
return with the Department each month by the 20th | ||||||
12 | day of the month next
following the month during which such tax | ||||||
13 | liability is incurred and shall
make payments to the Department | ||||||
14 | on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
day of the month | ||||||
15 | during which such liability is incurred.
On and after October | ||||||
16 | 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability
to the | ||||||
17 | Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service | ||||||
18 | Occupation Tax
Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any | ||||||
19 | liability for prepaid sales tax
to be remitted in accordance | ||||||
20 | with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more
during the | ||||||
21 | preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return | ||||||
22 | with
the Department each month by the 20th day of the month | ||||||
23 | next following the month
during which such tax liability is | ||||||
24 | incurred and shall make payment to the
Department on or before | ||||||
25 | the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during
which such | ||||||
26 | liability is incurred.
If the month
during which such tax |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985,
each | ||||||
2 | payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's | ||||||
3 | actual
liability for the month or an amount set by the | ||||||
4 | Department not to exceed
1/4 of the average monthly liability | ||||||
5 | of the taxpayer to the Department for
the preceding 4 complete | ||||||
6 | calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and | ||||||
7 | the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If
the | ||||||
8 | month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or | ||||||
9 | after
January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each | ||||||
10 | payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's | ||||||
11 | actual liability for the month or
27.5% of the taxpayer's | ||||||
12 | liability for the same calendar
month of the preceding year. If | ||||||
13 | the month during which such tax
liability is incurred begins on | ||||||
14 | or after January 1, 1987 and prior to
January 1, 1988, each | ||||||
15 | payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's | ||||||
16 | actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
| ||||||
17 | liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If | ||||||
18 | the month
during which such tax liability is incurred begins on | ||||||
19 | or after January 1,
1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or | ||||||
20 | begins on or after January 1, 1996, each
payment shall be in an | ||||||
21 | amount
equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for | ||||||
22 | the month or 25% of
the taxpayer's liability for the same | ||||||
23 | calendar month of the preceding year. If
the month during which | ||||||
24 | such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, | ||||||
25 | 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
| ||||||
26 | amount equal to 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the month or 25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same | ||||||
2 | calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the
taxpayer's | ||||||
3 | actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
| ||||||
4 | amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited | ||||||
5 | against
the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for | ||||||
6 | that month. Before
October 1, 2000, once
applicable, the | ||||||
7 | requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to
the | ||||||
8 | Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability | ||||||
9 | of
$10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
| ||||||
10 | shall continue
until such taxpayer's average monthly liability | ||||||
11 | to the Department during
the preceding 4 complete calendar | ||||||
12 | quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and the | ||||||
13 | month of lowest liability) is less than
$9,000, or until
such | ||||||
14 | taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as | ||||||
15 | computed for
each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete | ||||||
16 | calendar quarter period
is less than $10,000. However, if a | ||||||
17 | taxpayer can show the
Department that
a substantial change in | ||||||
18 | the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes
the taxpayer | ||||||
19 | to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
| ||||||
20 | reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000 | ||||||
21 | threshold
stated above, then
such taxpayer
may petition the | ||||||
22 | Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting
status. On | ||||||
23 | and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
| ||||||
24 | the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by | ||||||
25 | taxpayers having an
average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or | ||||||
26 | more as determined in the manner
provided above shall continue |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
to the | ||||||
2 | Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters | ||||||
3 | (excluding
the month of highest liability and the month of | ||||||
4 | lowest liability) is less than
$19,000 or until such taxpayer's | ||||||
5 | average monthly liability to the Department as
computed for | ||||||
6 | each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar | ||||||
7 | quarter
period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can | ||||||
8 | show the Department
that a substantial change in the taxpayer's | ||||||
9 | business has occurred which causes
the taxpayer to anticipate | ||||||
10 | that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably | ||||||
11 | foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
| ||||||
12 | above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a | ||||||
13 | change in such
taxpayer's reporting status. The Department | ||||||
14 | shall change such taxpayer's
reporting status
unless it finds | ||||||
15 | that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
| ||||||
16 | long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at | ||||||
17 | the time or
in the amount required by this Section, then the | ||||||
18 | taxpayer shall be liable for
penalties and interest on the | ||||||
19 | difference
between the minimum amount due as a payment and the | ||||||
20 | amount of such quarter
monthly payment actually and timely | ||||||
21 | paid, except insofar as the
taxpayer has previously made | ||||||
22 | payments for that month to the Department in
excess of the | ||||||
23 | minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
| ||||||
24 | The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to | ||||||
25 | govern the
quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly | ||||||
26 | payment dates for
taxpayers who file on other than a calendar |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | monthly basis. | ||||||
2 | The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1, | ||||||
3 | 2001.
Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make | ||||||
4 | quarter monthly
payments as specified above, any taxpayer who | ||||||
5 | is required by Section 2d
of this Act to collect and remit | ||||||
6 | prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid
taxes which average in | ||||||
7 | excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding
2 complete | ||||||
8 | calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
| ||||||
9 | required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the | ||||||
10 | Department on or before
the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the | ||||||
11 | month during which such liability
is incurred. If the month | ||||||
12 | during which such tax liability is incurred
began prior to the | ||||||
13 | effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each
payment | ||||||
14 | shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's | ||||||
15 | actual
liability under Section 2d. If the month during which | ||||||
16 | such tax liability
is incurred begins on or after January 1, | ||||||
17 | 1986, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the | ||||||
18 | taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
27.5% of the | ||||||
19 | taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
| ||||||
20 | preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax | ||||||
21 | liability is
incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each | ||||||
22 | payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's | ||||||
23 | actual liability for the month or
26.25% of the taxpayer's | ||||||
24 | liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding year. | ||||||
25 | The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be
credited | ||||||
26 | against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that
month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case | ||||||
2 | may be. Once
applicable, the requirement of the making of | ||||||
3 | quarter monthly payments to
the Department pursuant to this | ||||||
4 | paragraph shall continue until such
taxpayer's average monthly | ||||||
5 | prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2
complete | ||||||
6 | calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter | ||||||
7 | monthly
payment is not paid at the time or in the amount | ||||||
8 | required, the taxpayer
shall be liable for penalties and | ||||||
9 | interest on such difference, except
insofar as the taxpayer has | ||||||
10 | previously made payments for that month in
excess of the | ||||||
11 | minimum payments previously due. | ||||||
12 | The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October | ||||||
13 | 1, 2001.
Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to | ||||||
14 | make quarter monthly
payments as specified above, any taxpayer | ||||||
15 | who is required by Section 2d of this
Act to collect and remit | ||||||
16 | prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that
average in | ||||||
17 | excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete | ||||||
18 | calendar
quarters shall file a return with the Department as | ||||||
19 | required by Section 2f
and shall make payments to the | ||||||
20 | Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and
last day of the | ||||||
21 | month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
| ||||||
22 | shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual | ||||||
23 | liability for the
month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for | ||||||
24 | the same calendar month of the
preceding year. The amount of | ||||||
25 | the quarter monthly payments shall be credited
against the | ||||||
26 | final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | filed
under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. | ||||||
2 | Once applicable, the
requirement of the making of quarter | ||||||
3 | monthly payments to the Department
pursuant to this paragraph | ||||||
4 | shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly
prepaid tax | ||||||
5 | collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
| ||||||
6 | (excluding the month of highest liability and the month of | ||||||
7 | lowest liability) is
less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's | ||||||
8 | average monthly liability to the
Department as computed for | ||||||
9 | each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
calendar | ||||||
10 | quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly | ||||||
11 | payment is
not paid at the time or in the amount required, the | ||||||
12 | taxpayer shall be liable
for penalties and interest on such | ||||||
13 | difference, except insofar as the taxpayer
has previously made | ||||||
14 | payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
| ||||||
15 | previously due. | ||||||
16 | If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds
the | ||||||
17 | taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the | ||||||
18 | Service
Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as | ||||||
19 | shown on an original
monthly return, the Department shall, if | ||||||
20 | requested by the taxpayer, issue to
the taxpayer a credit | ||||||
21 | memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of
payment. The | ||||||
22 | credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may
be assigned by | ||||||
23 | the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
Use Tax | ||||||
24 | Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, | ||||||
25 | in
accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be | ||||||
26 | prescribed by the
Department. If no such request is made, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | taxpayer may credit such excess
payment against tax liability | ||||||
2 | subsequently to be remitted to the Department
under this Act, | ||||||
3 | the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
Service | ||||||
4 | Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and | ||||||
5 | regulations
prescribed by the Department. If the Department | ||||||
6 | subsequently determined
that all or any part of the credit | ||||||
7 | taken was not actually due to the
taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% | ||||||
8 | and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
by 2.1% or 1.75% | ||||||
9 | of the difference between the credit taken and that
actually | ||||||
10 | due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and | ||||||
11 | interest
on such difference. | ||||||
12 | If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under | ||||||
13 | Section 2d of
this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability | ||||||
14 | to the Department under
this Act for the month which the | ||||||
15 | taxpayer is filing a return, the
Department shall issue the | ||||||
16 | taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess. | ||||||
17 | Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall | ||||||
18 | pay into
the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the | ||||||
19 | State treasury which
is hereby created, the net revenue | ||||||
20 | realized for the preceding month from
the 1% tax on sales of | ||||||
21 | food for human consumption which is to be consumed
off the | ||||||
22 | premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft
| ||||||
23 | drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate | ||||||
24 | consumption) and
prescription and nonprescription medicines, | ||||||
25 | drugs, medical appliances and
insulin, urine testing | ||||||
26 | materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall | ||||||
2 | pay into
the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a special | ||||||
3 | fund in the State
treasury which is hereby created, 4% of the | ||||||
4 | net revenue realized
for the preceding month from the 6.25% | ||||||
5 | general rate. | ||||||
6 | Beginning August 1, 2000, each
month the Department shall | ||||||
7 | pay into the
County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the | ||||||
8 | net revenue realized for the
preceding month from the 1.25% | ||||||
9 | rate on the selling price of motor fuel and
gasohol. Beginning | ||||||
10 | September 1, 2010, each month the Department shall pay into the | ||||||
11 | County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the net revenue | ||||||
12 | realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the | ||||||
13 | selling price of sales tax holiday items. | ||||||
14 | Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall | ||||||
15 | pay into
the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue | ||||||
16 | realized for the
preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on | ||||||
17 | the selling price of
tangible personal property. | ||||||
18 | Beginning August 1, 2000, each
month the Department shall | ||||||
19 | pay into the
Local Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue | ||||||
20 | realized for the preceding
month from the 1.25% rate on the | ||||||
21 | selling price of motor fuel and gasohol. Beginning September 1, | ||||||
22 | 2010, each month the Department shall pay into the Local | ||||||
23 | Government Tax Fund 80% of the net revenue realized for the | ||||||
24 | preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the selling price of | ||||||
25 | sales tax holiday items. | ||||||
26 | Beginning October 1, 2009, each month the Department shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to | ||||||
2 | an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the | ||||||
3 | net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of | ||||||
4 | candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had | ||||||
5 | been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that | ||||||
6 | are is now taxed at 6.25%. | ||||||
7 | Beginning July 1, 2011, each
month the Department shall pay | ||||||
8 | into the Clean Air Act (CAA) Permit Fund 80% of the net revenue | ||||||
9 | realized for the
preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on | ||||||
10 | the selling price of sorbents used in Illinois in the process | ||||||
11 | of sorbent injection as used to comply with the Environmental | ||||||
12 | Protection Act or the federal Clean Air Act, but the total | ||||||
13 | payment into the Clean Air Act (CAA) Permit Fund under this Act | ||||||
14 | and the Use Tax Act shall not exceed $2,000,000 in any fiscal | ||||||
15 | year. | ||||||
16 | Beginning July 1, 2013, each month the Department shall pay | ||||||
17 | into the Underground Storage Tank Fund from the proceeds | ||||||
18 | collected under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax | ||||||
19 | Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act an amount equal to the | ||||||
20 | average monthly deficit in the Underground Storage Tank Fund | ||||||
21 | during the prior year, as certified annually by the Illinois | ||||||
22 | Environmental Protection Agency, but the total payment into the | ||||||
23 | Underground Storage Tank Fund under this Act, the Use Tax Act, | ||||||
24 | the Service Use Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act | ||||||
25 | shall not exceed $18,000,000 in any State fiscal year. As used | ||||||
26 | in this paragraph, the "average monthly deficit" shall be equal |
| ||||||||||
| ||||||||||
1 | to the difference between the average monthly claims for | |||||||||
2 | payment by the fund and the average monthly revenues deposited | |||||||||
3 | into the fund, excluding payments made pursuant to this | |||||||||
4 | paragraph. | |||||||||
5 | Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department | |||||||||
6 | pursuant
to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the | |||||||||
7 | Build Illinois
Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on | |||||||||
8 | and after July 1, 1989,
3.8% thereof shall be paid into the | |||||||||
9 | Build Illinois Fund; provided, however,
that if in any fiscal | |||||||||
10 | year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as
the case | |||||||||
11 | may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required | |||||||||
12 | to
be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this Act, | |||||||||
13 | Section 9 of the
Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax | |||||||||
14 | Act, and Section 9 of the
Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts | |||||||||
15 | being hereinafter called the "Tax
Acts" and such aggregate of | |||||||||
16 | 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys
being hereinafter | |||||||||
17 | called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount
transferred to | |||||||||
18 | the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
| |||||||||
19 | Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount (as | |||||||||
20 | hereinafter
defined), an amount equal to the difference shall | |||||||||
21 | be immediately paid into
the Build Illinois Fund from other | |||||||||
22 | moneys received by the Department
pursuant to the Tax Acts; the | |||||||||
23 | "Annual Specified Amount" means the amounts
specified below for | |||||||||
24 | fiscal years 1986 through 1993: | |||||||||
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Section 13 of the Build Illinois Bond Act) or the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Tax Act Amount, whichever
is greater, for fiscal year 1994 and | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | each fiscal year thereafter; and
further provided, that if on | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | the last business day of any month the sum of
(1) the Tax Act | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

15 | the
amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | State and Local
Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | 1/12 of the Annual
Specified Amount, an amount equal to the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | difference shall be immediately

19 | Fund from other moneys received by the
Department pursuant to | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | the Tax Acts; and, further provided, that in no
event shall the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | payments required under the preceding proviso result in
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | this clause (b)
for any fiscal year in excess of the greater of | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24 | (i) the Tax Act Amount or

25 | such fiscal year. The amounts payable
into the Build Illinois | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Fund under clause (b) of the first sentence in this
paragraph |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount | ||||||

4 | sufficient, taking into account
any future investment income, | ||||||

9 | costs payable
with respect thereto, all as certified by the | ||||||
10 | Director of the Bureau of the
Budget (now Governor's Office of | ||||||
11 | Management and Budget). If on the last
business day of any | ||||||
12 | month in which Bonds are
outstanding pursuant to the Build | ||||||
13 | Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of
moneys deposited in the | ||||||
14 | Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois

15 | month shall be less than the amount required to be transferred
| ||||||
16 | in such month from the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build | ||||||

21 | Illinois Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the
| ||||||
22 | Build Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this | ||||||
23 | sentence shall be
deemed to constitute payments pursuant to | ||||||
24 | clause (b) of the first sentence
of this paragraph and shall | ||||||
25 | reduce the amount otherwise payable for such
fiscal year | ||||||
26 | pursuant to that clause (b). The moneys received by the

1 | Department pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | into the Build
Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | Beginning July 20, 1993 and in each month of each fiscal | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | year thereafter,
one-eighth of the amount requested in the | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | certificate of the Chairman of
the Metropolitan Pier and | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | Exposition Authority for that fiscal year, less

22 | Authority Act, plus cumulative
deficiencies in the deposits | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

26 | not
in excess of the amount specified above as "Total Deposit", |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | has been deposited. | ||||||
2 | Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund | ||||||
3 | and the
McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the | ||||||
4 | preceding paragraphs
or in any amendments
thereto hereafter | ||||||
5 | enacted, beginning July 1, 1993 and ending on September 30, | ||||||
6 | 2013, the Department shall each
month pay into the Illinois Tax | ||||||
7 | Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of the net revenue
realized for the | ||||||
8 | preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling

9 | price of tangible personal property. | ||||||
10 | Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund | ||||||
11 | and the
McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the | ||||||
12 | preceding paragraphs or in any
amendments thereto hereafter | ||||||
13 | enacted, beginning with the receipt of the first
report of | ||||||
14 | taxes paid by an eligible business and continuing for a 25-year
| ||||||
15 | period, the Department shall each month pay into the Energy | ||||||
16 | Infrastructure
Fund 80% of the net revenue realized from the | ||||||
17 | 6.25% general rate on the
selling price of Illinois-mined coal | ||||||
18 | that was sold to an eligible business.
For purposes of this | ||||||
19 | paragraph, the term "eligible business" means a new
electric | ||||||
20 | generating facility certified pursuant to Section 605-332 of | ||||||
21 | the
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity
Law of the | ||||||
22 | Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. | ||||||
23 | Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department | ||||||
24 | pursuant to
this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the State | ||||||
25 | Treasury and 25% shall
be reserved in a special account and | ||||||
26 | used only for the transfer to the
Common School Fund as part of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the monthly transfer from the General Revenue
Fund in | ||||||
2 | accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act. | ||||||
3 | The Department may, upon separate written notice to a | ||||||
4 | taxpayer,
require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the | ||||||
5 | Department on a form
prescribed by the Department within not | ||||||
6 | less than 60 days after receipt
of the notice an annual | ||||||
7 | information return for the tax year specified in
the notice. | ||||||
8 | Such annual return to the Department shall include a
statement | ||||||
9 | of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last Federal | ||||||
10 | income
tax return. If the total receipts of the business as | ||||||
11 | reported in the
Federal income tax return do not agree with the | ||||||
12 | gross receipts reported to
the Department of Revenue for the | ||||||
13 | same period, the retailer shall attach
to his annual return a | ||||||
14 | schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
amounts and the | ||||||
15 | reasons for the difference. The retailer's annual
return to the | ||||||
16 | Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by
the | ||||||
17 | retailer during the year covered by such return, opening and | ||||||
18 | closing
inventories of such goods for such year, costs of goods | ||||||
19 | used from stock
or taken from stock and given away by the | ||||||
20 | retailer during such year,
payroll information of the | ||||||
21 | retailer's business during such year and any
additional | ||||||
22 | reasonable information which the Department deems would be
| ||||||
23 | helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly | ||||||
24 | or annual
returns filed by such retailer as provided for in | ||||||
25 | this Section. | ||||||
26 | If the annual information return required by this Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is not
filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable | ||||||
2 | as follows: | ||||||
3 | (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be liable
| ||||||
4 | for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such | ||||||
5 | taxpayer under
this Act during the period to be covered by | ||||||
6 | the annual return for each
month or fraction of a month | ||||||
7 | until such return is filed as required, the
penalty to be | ||||||
8 | assessed and collected in the same manner as any other
| ||||||
9 | penalty provided for in this Act. | ||||||
10 | (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall | ||||||
11 | be
liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the | ||||||
12 | Uniform Penalty and
Interest Act. | ||||||
13 | The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest | ||||||
14 | ranking
manager shall sign the annual return to certify the | ||||||
15 | accuracy of the
information contained therein. Any person who | ||||||
16 | willfully signs the
annual return containing false or | ||||||
17 | inaccurate information shall be guilty
of perjury and punished | ||||||
18 | accordingly. The annual return form prescribed
by the | ||||||
19 | Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
| ||||||
20 | return may be liable for perjury. | ||||||
21 | The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an | ||||||
22 | annual
information return do not apply to a retailer who is not | ||||||
23 | required to
file an income tax return with the United States | ||||||
24 | Government. | ||||||
25 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon | ||||||
26 | certification
of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall order transferred and
the Treasurer shall transfer from | ||||||
2 | the General Revenue Fund to the Motor
Fuel Tax Fund an amount | ||||||
3 | equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized
under this Act | ||||||
4 | for the second preceding
month.
Beginning April 1, 2000, this | ||||||
5 | transfer is no longer required
and shall not be made. | ||||||
6 | Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue | ||||||
7 | collected by the
State pursuant to this Act, less the amount | ||||||
8 | paid out during that month as
refunds to taxpayers for | ||||||
9 | overpayment of liability. | ||||||
10 | For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers, | ||||||
11 | importers
and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in | ||||||
12 | Illinois by
numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may | ||||||
13 | assume the responsibility
for accounting and paying to the | ||||||
14 | Department all tax accruing under this
Act with respect to such | ||||||
15 | sales, if the retailers who are affected do not
make written | ||||||
16 | objection to the Department to this arrangement. | ||||||
17 | Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail | ||||||
18 | selling space for
concessionaires or other types of sellers at | ||||||
19 | the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin
State Fair, county fairs, | ||||||
20 | local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar
exhibitions or | ||||||
21 | events, including any transient merchant as defined by Section | ||||||
22 | 2
of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required to file a | ||||||
23 | report with the
Department providing the name of the merchant's | ||||||
24 | business, the name of the
person or persons engaged in | ||||||
25 | merchant's business, the permanent address and
Illinois | ||||||
26 | Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the merchant, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the
dates and location of the event and other reasonable | ||||||
2 | information that the
Department may require. The report must be | ||||||
3 | filed not later than the 20th day
of the month next following | ||||||
4 | the month during which the event with retail sales
was held. | ||||||
5 | Any person who fails to file a report required by this Section
| ||||||
6 | commits a business offense and is subject to a fine not to | ||||||
7 | exceed $250. | ||||||
8 | Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible | ||||||
9 | personal
property at retail as a concessionaire or other type | ||||||
10 | of seller at the
Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art shows, | ||||||
11 | flea markets and similar
exhibitions or events, or any | ||||||
12 | transient merchants, as defined by Section 2
of the Transient | ||||||
13 | Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
of | ||||||
14 | the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily | ||||||
15 | payment of
the full amount of tax due. The Department shall | ||||||
16 | impose this
requirement when it finds that there is a | ||||||
17 | significant risk of loss of
revenue to the State at such an | ||||||
18 | exhibition or event. Such a finding
shall be based on evidence | ||||||
19 | that a substantial number of concessionaires
or other sellers | ||||||
20 | who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in
the | ||||||
21 | business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
| ||||||
22 | exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of | ||||||
23 | loss of revenue
to the State. The Department shall notify | ||||||
24 | concessionaires and other sellers
affected by the imposition of | ||||||
25 | this requirement. In the absence of
notification by the | ||||||
26 | Department, the concessionaires and other sellers
shall file |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | their returns as otherwise required in this Section. | ||||||

| ||||||
5 | Section 195. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing | ||||||
6 | Sections 9-275 and 15-170 as follows:
| ||||||
7 | (35 ILCS 200/9-275) | ||||||
8 | Sec. 9-275. Erroneous homestead exemptions. | ||||||
9 | (a) For purposes of this Section: | ||||||
10 | "Erroneous homestead exemption" means a homestead | ||||||
11 | exemption that was granted for real property in a taxable year | ||||||
12 | if the property was not eligible for that exemption in that | ||||||
13 | taxable year. If the taxpayer receives an erroneous homestead | ||||||
14 | exemption under a single Section of this Code for the same | ||||||
15 | property in multiple years, that exemption is considered a | ||||||
16 | single erroneous homestead exemption for purposes of this | ||||||
17 | Section. However, if the taxpayer receives erroneous homestead | ||||||
18 | exemptions under multiple Sections of this Code for the same | ||||||
19 | property, or if the taxpayer receives erroneous homestead | ||||||
20 | exemptions under the same Section of this Code for multiple | ||||||
21 | properties, then each of those exemptions is considered a | ||||||
22 | separate erroneous homestead exemption for purposes of this | ||||||
23 | Section. | ||||||
24 | "Homestead exemption" means an exemption under Section |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 15-165 (disabled veterans), 15-167 (returning veterans), | ||||||
2 | 15-168 (disabled persons), 15-169 (disabled veterans standard | ||||||
3 | homestead), 15-170 (senior citizens), 15-172 (senior citizens | ||||||
4 | assessment freeze), 15-175 (general homestead), 15-176 | ||||||
5 | (alternative general homestead), or 15-177 (long-time | ||||||
6 | occupant). | ||||||
7 | (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in counties | ||||||
8 | with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the chief county assessment | ||||||
9 | officer shall include the following information with each | ||||||
10 | assessment notice sent in a general assessment year: (1) a list | ||||||
11 | of each homestead exemption available under Article 15 of this | ||||||
12 | Code and a description of the eligibility criteria for that | ||||||
13 | exemption; (2) a list of each homestead exemption applied to | ||||||
14 | the property in the current assessment year; (3) information | ||||||
15 | regarding penalties and interest that may be incurred under | ||||||
16 | this Section if the property owner received an erroneous | ||||||
17 | homestead exemption in a previous taxable year; and (4) notice | ||||||
18 | of the 60-day grace period available under this subsection. If, | ||||||
19 | within 60 days after receiving his or her assessment notice, | ||||||
20 | the property owner notifies the chief county assessment officer | ||||||
21 | that he or she received an erroneous homestead exemption in a | ||||||
22 | previous assessment year, and if the property owner pays the | ||||||
23 | principal amount of back taxes due and owing with respect to | ||||||
24 | that exemption, plus interest as provided in subsection (f), | ||||||
25 | then the property owner shall not be liable for the penalties | ||||||
26 | provided in subsection (f) with respect to that exemption. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) The chief county assessment officer in a county with | ||||||
2 | 3,000,000 or more inhabitants may cause a lien to be recorded | ||||||
3 | against property that (1) is located in the county and (2) | ||||||
4 | received one or more erroneous homestead exemptions if, upon | ||||||
5 | determination of the chief county assessment officer, the | ||||||
6 | property owner received: (A) one or 2 erroneous homestead | ||||||
7 | exemptions for real property, including at least one erroneous | ||||||
8 | homestead exemption granted for the property against which the | ||||||
9 | lien is sought, during any of the 3 assessment years | ||||||
10 | immediately prior to the assessment year in which the notice of | ||||||
11 | intent to record at tax lien is served; or (B) (2) 3 or more | ||||||
12 | erroneous homestead exemptions for real property, including at | ||||||
13 | least one erroneous homestead exemption granted for the | ||||||
14 | property against which the lien is sought, during any of the 6 | ||||||
15 | assessment years immediately prior to the assessment year in | ||||||
16 | which the notice of intent to record at tax lien is served. | ||||||
17 | Prior to recording the lien against the property, the chief | ||||||
18 | county assessment officer shall cause to be served, by both | ||||||
19 | regular mail and certified mail, return receipt requested, on | ||||||
20 | the person to whom the most recent tax bill was mailed and the | ||||||
21 | owner of record, a notice of intent to record a tax lien | ||||||
22 | against the property. | ||||||
23 | (d) The notice of intent to record a tax lien described in | ||||||
24 | subsection (c) shall: (1) identify, by property index number, | ||||||
25 | the property against which the lien is being sought; (2) | ||||||
26 | identify each specific homestead exemption that was |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | erroneously granted and the year or years in which each | ||||||
2 | exemption was granted; (3) set forth the arrearage of taxes | ||||||
3 | that would have been due if not for the erroneous homestead | ||||||
4 | exemptions; (4) inform the property owner that he or she may | ||||||
5 | request a hearing within 30 days after service and may appeal | ||||||
6 | the hearing officer's ruling to the circuit court; and (5) | ||||||
7 | inform the property owner that he or she may pay the amount | ||||||
8 | due, plus interest and penalties, within 30 days after service. | ||||||
9 | (e) The notice must also include a form that the property | ||||||
10 | owner may return to the chief county assessment officer to | ||||||
11 | request a hearing. The property owner may request a hearing by | ||||||
12 | returning the form within 30 days after service. The hearing | ||||||
13 | shall be held within 90 days after the property owner is | ||||||
14 | served. The chief county assessment officer shall promulgate | ||||||
15 | rules of service and procedure for the hearing. The chief | ||||||
16 | county assessment officer must generally follow rules of | ||||||
17 | evidence and practices that prevail in the county circuit | ||||||
18 | courts, but, because of the nature of these proceedings, the | ||||||
19 | chief county assessment officer is not bound by those rules in | ||||||
20 | all particulars. The chief county assessment officer shall | ||||||
21 | appoint a hearing officer to oversee the hearing. The property | ||||||
22 | owner shall be allowed to present evidence to the hearing | ||||||
23 | officer at the hearing. After taking into consideration all the | ||||||
24 | relevant testimony and evidence, the hearing officer shall make | ||||||
25 | an administrative decision on whether the property owner was | ||||||
26 | erroneously granted a homestead exemption for the assessment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | year in question. The property owner may appeal the hearing | ||||||
2 | officer's ruling to the circuit court of the county where the | ||||||
3 | property is located as a final administrative decision under | ||||||
4 | the Administrative Review Law. | ||||||
5 | (f) A lien against the property imposed under this Section | ||||||
6 | shall be filed with the county recorder of deeds, but may not | ||||||
7 | be filed sooner than 60 days after the notice was delivered to | ||||||
8 | the property owner if the property owner does not request a | ||||||
9 | hearing, or until the conclusion of the hearing and all appeals | ||||||
10 | if the property owner does request a hearing. If a lien is | ||||||
11 | filed pursuant to this Section and the property owner received | ||||||
12 | one or 2 erroneous homestead exemptions during any of the 3 | ||||||
13 | assessment years immediately prior to the assessment year in | ||||||
14 | which the notice of intent to record at tax lien is served, | ||||||
15 | then the arrearages of taxes that might have been assessed for | ||||||
16 | that property, plus 10% interest per annum, shall be charged | ||||||
17 | against the property by the county treasurer. However, if a | ||||||
18 | lien is filed pursuant to this Section and the property owner | ||||||
19 | received 3 or more erroneous homestead exemptions during any of | ||||||
20 | the 6 assessment years immediately prior to the assessment year | ||||||
21 | in which the notice of intent to record at tax lien is served, | ||||||
22 | the arrearages of taxes that might have been assessed for that | ||||||
23 | property, plus a penalty of 50% of the total amount of unpaid | ||||||
24 | taxes for each year for that property and 10% interest per | ||||||
25 | annum, shall be charged against the property by the county | ||||||
26 | treasurer. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (g) If a person received an erroneous homestead exemption | ||||||
2 | under Section 15-170 and: (1) the person was the spouse, child, | ||||||
3 | grandchild, brother, sister, niece, or nephew of the previous | ||||||
4 | owner; and (2) the person received the property by bequest or | ||||||
5 | inheritance; then the person is not liable for the penalties | ||||||
6 | imposed under this subsection for any year or years during | ||||||
7 | which the county did not require an annual application for the | ||||||
8 | exemption. However, that person is responsible for any interest | ||||||
9 | owed under subsection (f). | ||||||
10 | (h) If the erroneous homestead exemption was granted as a | ||||||
11 | result of a clerical error or omission on the part of the chief | ||||||
12 | county assessment officer, and if the owner has paid its tax | ||||||
13 | bills as received for the year in which the error occurred, | ||||||
14 | then the interest and penalties authorized by this Section with | ||||||
15 | respect to that homestead exemption shall not be chargeable to | ||||||
16 | the owner. However, nothing in this Section shall prevent the | ||||||
17 | collection of the principal amount of back taxes due and owing. | ||||||
18 | (i) A lien under this Section is not valid as to (1) any | ||||||
19 | bona fide purchaser for value without notice of the erroneous | ||||||
20 | homestead exemption whose rights in and to the underlying | ||||||
21 | parcel arose after the erroneous homestead exemption was | ||||||
22 | granted but before the filing of the notice of lien; or (2) any | ||||||
23 | mortgagee, judgment creditor, or other lienor whose rights in | ||||||
24 | and to the underlying parcel arose before the filing of the | ||||||
25 | notice of lien. A title insurance policy for the property that | ||||||
26 | is issued by a title company licensed to do business in the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | State showing that the property is free and clear of any liens | ||||||
2 | imposed under this Section shall be prima facie evidence that | ||||||
3 | the property owner is without notice of the erroneous homestead | ||||||
4 | exemption. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to impair | ||||||
5 | the rights of subsequent creditors and subsequent purchasers | ||||||
6 | under Section 30 of the Conveyances Act. | ||||||
7 | (j) When a lien is filed against the property pursuant to | ||||||
8 | this Section, the chief county assessment officer shall mail a | ||||||
9 | copy of the lien to the person to whom the most recent tax bill | ||||||
10 | was mailed and to the owner of record, and the outstanding | ||||||
11 | liability created by such a lien is due and payable within 30 | ||||||
12 | days after the mailing of the lien by the chief county | ||||||
13 | assessment officer. Payment shall be made to the chief county | ||||||
14 | assessment officer who shall, upon receipt of the full amount | ||||||
15 | due, provide in reasonable form a release of the lien and shall | ||||||
16 | transmit the funds received to the county treasurer for | ||||||
17 | distribution as provided in subsection (i) of this Section. | ||||||
18 | This liability is deemed delinquent and shall bear interest | ||||||
19 | beginning on the day after the due date. | ||||||
20 | (k) The unpaid taxes shall be paid to the appropriate | ||||||
21 | taxing districts. Interest shall be paid to the county where | ||||||
22 | the property is located. The penalty shall be paid to the chief | ||||||
23 | county assessment officer's office for the administration of | ||||||
24 | the provisions of this amendatory Act of the 98th General | ||||||
25 | Assembly. | ||||||
26 | (l) The chief county assessment officer in a county with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall establish an amnesty period | ||||||
2 | for all taxpayers owing any tax due to an erroneous homestead | ||||||
3 | exemption granted in a tax year prior to the 2013 tax year. The | ||||||
4 | amnesty period shall begin on the effective date of this | ||||||
5 | amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly and shall run | ||||||
6 | through December 31, 2013. If, during the amnesty period, the | ||||||
7 | taxpayer pays the entire arrearage of taxes due for tax years | ||||||
8 | prior to 2013, the county clerk shall abate and not seek to | ||||||
9 | collect any interest or penalties that may be applicable and | ||||||
10 | shall not seek civil or criminal prosecution for any taxpayer | ||||||
11 | for tax years prior to 2013. Failure to pay all such taxes due | ||||||
12 | during the amnesty period established under this Section shall | ||||||
13 | invalidate the amnesty period for that taxpayer. | ||||||
14 | The chief county assessment officer in a county with | ||||||
15 | 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall (i) mail notice of the | ||||||
16 | amnesty period with the tax bills for the second installment of | ||||||
17 | taxes for the 2012 assessment year and (ii) as soon as possible | ||||||
18 | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th | ||||||
19 | General Assembly, publish notice of the amnesty period in a | ||||||
20 | newspaper of general circulation in the county. Notices shall | ||||||
21 | include information on the amnesty period, its purpose, and the | ||||||
22 | method in which to make payment. | ||||||
23 | Taxpayers who are a party to any criminal investigation or | ||||||
24 | to any civil or criminal litigation that is pending in any | ||||||
25 | circuit court or appellate court, or in the Supreme Court of | ||||||
26 | this State, for nonpayment, delinquency, or fraud in relation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to any property tax imposed by any taxing district located in | ||||||
2 | the State on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
3 | 98th General Assembly may not take advantage of the amnesty | ||||||
4 | period. | ||||||
5 | A taxpayer who has claimed 3 or more homestead exemptions | ||||||
6 | in error shall not be eligible for the amnesty period | ||||||
7 | established under this subsection.

| ||||||
9 | (35 ILCS 200/15-170) | ||||||
10 | Sec. 15-170. Senior Citizens Homestead Exemption. An | ||||||
11 | annual homestead
exemption limited, except as described here | ||||||
12 | with relation to cooperatives or
life care facilities, to a
| ||||||
13 | maximum reduction set forth below from the property's value, as | ||||||
14 | equalized or
assessed by the Department, is granted for | ||||||
15 | property that is occupied as a
residence by a person 65 years | ||||||
16 | of age or older who is liable for paying real
estate taxes on | ||||||
17 | the property and is an owner of record of the property or has a
| ||||||
18 | legal or equitable interest therein as evidenced by a written | ||||||
19 | instrument,
except for a leasehold interest, other than a | ||||||
20 | leasehold interest of land on
which a single family residence | ||||||
21 | is located, which is occupied as a residence by
a person 65 | ||||||
22 | years or older who has an ownership interest therein, legal,
| ||||||
23 | equitable or as a lessee, and on which he or she is liable for | ||||||
24 | the payment
of property taxes. Before taxable year 2004, the | ||||||
25 | maximum reduction shall be $2,500 in counties with
3,000,000 or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | more inhabitants and $2,000 in all other counties. For taxable | ||||||
2 | years 2004 through 2005, the maximum reduction shall be $3,000 | ||||||
3 | in all counties. For taxable years 2006 and 2007, the maximum | ||||||
4 | reduction shall be $3,500. For taxable years 2008 through 2011, | ||||||
5 | the maximum reduction is $4,000 in all counties.
For taxable | ||||||
6 | year 2012, the maximum reduction is $5,000 in counties with
| ||||||
7 | 3,000,000 or more inhabitants and $4,000 in all other counties. | ||||||
8 | For taxable years 2013 and thereafter, the maximum reduction is | ||||||
9 | $5,000 in all counties. | ||||||
10 | For land
improved with an apartment building owned and | ||||||
11 | operated as a cooperative, the maximum reduction from the value | ||||||
12 | of the property, as
equalized
by the Department, shall be | ||||||
13 | multiplied by the number of apartments or units
occupied by a | ||||||
14 | person 65 years of age or older who is liable, by contract with
| ||||||
15 | the owner or owners of record, for paying property taxes on the | ||||||
16 | property and
is an owner of record of a legal or equitable | ||||||
17 | interest in the cooperative
apartment building, other than a | ||||||
18 | leasehold interest. For land improved with
a life care | ||||||
19 | facility, the maximum reduction from the value of the property, | ||||||
20 | as
equalized by the Department, shall be multiplied by the | ||||||
21 | number of apartments or
units occupied by persons 65 years of | ||||||
22 | age or older, irrespective of any legal,
equitable, or | ||||||
23 | leasehold interest in the facility, who are liable, under a
| ||||||
24 | contract with the owner or owners of record of the facility, | ||||||
25 | for paying
property taxes on the property. In a
cooperative or | ||||||
26 | a life care facility where a
homestead exemption has been |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | granted, the cooperative association or the
management firm of | ||||||
2 | the cooperative or facility shall credit the savings
resulting | ||||||
3 | from that exemption only to
the apportioned tax liability of | ||||||
4 | the owner or resident who qualified for
the exemption.
Any | ||||||
5 | person who willfully refuses to so credit the savings shall be | ||||||
6 | guilty of a
Class B misdemeanor. Under this Section and | ||||||
7 | Sections 15-175, 15-176, and 15-177, "life care
facility" means | ||||||
8 | a facility, as defined in Section 2 of the Life Care Facilities
| ||||||
9 | Act, with which the applicant for the homestead exemption has a | ||||||
10 | life care
contract as defined in that Act. | ||||||
11 | When a homestead exemption has been granted under this | ||||||
12 | Section and the person
qualifying subsequently becomes a | ||||||
13 | resident of a facility licensed under the Assisted Living and | ||||||
14 | Shared Housing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized | ||||||
15 | Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, or the ID/DD | ||||||
16 | Community Care Act, the exemption shall continue so long as the | ||||||
17 | residence
continues to be occupied by the qualifying person's | ||||||
18 | spouse if the spouse is 65
years of age or older, or if the | ||||||
19 | residence remains unoccupied but is still
owned by the person | ||||||
20 | qualified for the homestead exemption. | ||||||
21 | A person who will be 65 years of age
during the current | ||||||
22 | assessment year
shall
be eligible to apply for the homestead | ||||||
23 | exemption during that assessment
year.
Application shall be | ||||||
24 | made during the application period in effect for the
county of | ||||||
25 | his residence. | ||||||
26 | Beginning with assessment year 2003, for taxes payable in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 2004,
property
that is first occupied as a residence after | ||||||
2 | January 1 of any assessment year by
a person who is eligible | ||||||
3 | for the senior citizens homestead exemption under this
Section | ||||||
4 | must be granted a pro-rata exemption for the assessment year. | ||||||
5 | The
amount of the pro-rata exemption is the exemption
allowed | ||||||
6 | in the county under this Section divided by 365 and multiplied | ||||||
7 | by the
number of days during the assessment year the property | ||||||
8 | is occupied as a
residence by a
person eligible for the | ||||||
9 | exemption under this Section. The chief county
assessment | ||||||
10 | officer must adopt reasonable procedures to establish | ||||||
11 | eligibility
for this pro-rata exemption. | ||||||
12 | The assessor or chief county assessment officer may | ||||||
13 | determine the eligibility
of a life care facility to receive | ||||||
14 | the benefits provided by this Section, by
affidavit, | ||||||
15 | application, visual inspection, questionnaire or other | ||||||
16 | reasonable
methods in order to insure that the tax savings | ||||||
17 | resulting from the exemption
are credited by the management | ||||||
18 | firm to the apportioned tax liability of each
qualifying | ||||||
19 | resident. The assessor may request reasonable proof that the
| ||||||
20 | management firm has so credited the exemption. | ||||||
21 | The chief county assessment officer of each county with | ||||||
22 | less than 3,000,000
inhabitants shall provide to each person | ||||||
23 | allowed a homestead exemption under
this Section a form to | ||||||
24 | designate any other person to receive a
duplicate of any notice | ||||||
25 | of delinquency in the payment of taxes assessed and
levied | ||||||
26 | under this Code on the property of the person receiving the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | exemption.
The duplicate notice shall be in addition to the | ||||||
2 | notice required to be
provided to the person receiving the | ||||||
3 | exemption, and shall be given in the
manner required by this | ||||||
4 | Code. The person filing the request for the duplicate
notice | ||||||
5 | shall pay a fee of $5 to cover administrative costs to the | ||||||
6 | supervisor of
assessments, who shall then file the executed | ||||||
7 | designation with the county
collector. Notwithstanding any | ||||||
8 | other provision of this Code to the contrary,
the filing of | ||||||
9 | such an executed designation requires the county collector to
| ||||||
10 | provide duplicate notices as indicated by the designation. A | ||||||
11 | designation may
be rescinded by the person who executed such | ||||||
12 | designation at any time, in the
manner and form required by the | ||||||
13 | chief county assessment officer. | ||||||
14 | The assessor or chief county assessment officer may | ||||||
15 | determine the
eligibility of residential property to receive | ||||||
16 | the homestead exemption provided
by this Section by | ||||||
17 | application, visual inspection, questionnaire or other
| ||||||
18 | reasonable methods. The determination shall be made in | ||||||
19 | accordance with
guidelines established by the Department. | ||||||
20 | In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, beginning | ||||||
21 | in taxable year 2010, each taxpayer who has been granted an | ||||||
22 | exemption under this Section must reapply on an annual basis. | ||||||
23 | The chief county assessment officer shall mail the application | ||||||
24 | to the taxpayer. In counties with less than 3,000,000 | ||||||
25 | inhabitants, the county board may by
resolution provide that if | ||||||
26 | a person has been granted a homestead exemption
under this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section, the person qualifying need not reapply for the | ||||||
2 | exemption. | ||||||
3 | In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if the | ||||||
4 | assessor or chief
county assessment officer requires annual | ||||||
5 | application for verification of
eligibility for an exemption | ||||||
6 | once granted under this Section, the application
shall be | ||||||
7 | mailed to the taxpayer. | ||||||
8 | The assessor or chief county assessment officer shall | ||||||
9 | notify each person
who qualifies for an exemption under this | ||||||
10 | Section that the person may also
qualify for deferral of real | ||||||
11 | estate taxes under the Senior Citizens Real Estate
Tax Deferral | ||||||
12 | Act. The notice shall set forth the qualifications needed for
| ||||||
13 | deferral of real estate taxes, the address and telephone number | ||||||
14 | of
county collector, and a
statement that applications for | ||||||
15 | deferral of real estate taxes may be obtained
from the county | ||||||
16 | collector. | ||||||
17 | Notwithstanding Sections 6 and 8 of the State Mandates Act, | ||||||
18 | no
reimbursement by the State is required for the | ||||||
19 | implementation of any mandate
created by this Section. | ||||||

23 | Section 200. The Illinois Hydraulic Fracturing Tax Act is | ||||||
24 | amended by changing Sections 2-15, 2-45, and 2-50 as follows:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (35 ILCS 450/2-15)
| ||||||
2 | Sec. 2-15. Tax imposed. | ||||||
3 | (a) For oil and gas removed on or after July 1, 2013, there | ||||||
4 | is hereby imposed a tax upon the severance and production of | ||||||
5 | oil or gas from a well on a production unit in this State | ||||||
6 | permitted, or required to be permitted, under the Illinois | ||||||
7 | Hydraulic Fracturing Regulatory Act, for sale, transport, | ||||||
8 | storage, profit, or commercial use. The tax shall be applied | ||||||
9 | equally to all portions of the value of each barrel of oil | ||||||
10 | severed and subject to such tax and to the value of the gas | ||||||
11 | severed and subject to such tax. For a period of 24 months from | ||||||
12 | the month in which oil or gas was first produced from the well, | ||||||
13 | the rate of tax shall be 3% of the value of the oil or gas | ||||||
14 | severed from the earth or water in this State. Thereafter, the | ||||||
15 | rate of the tax shall be as follows: | ||||||
16 | (1) For oil: | ||||||
17 | (A) where the average daily production from the | ||||||
18 | well during the month is less than 25 barrels, 3% of | ||||||
19 | the value of the oil severed from the earth or water; | ||||||
20 | (B) where the average daily production from the | ||||||
21 | well during the month is 25 or more barrels but less | ||||||
22 | than 50 barrels, 4% of the value of the oil severed | ||||||
23 | from the earth or water; | ||||||
24 | (C) where the average daily production from the | ||||||
25 | well during the month is 50 or more barrels but less | ||||||
26 | than 100 barrels, 5% of the value of the oil severed |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | from the earth or water; or | ||||||
2 | (D) where the average daily production from the | ||||||
3 | well during the month is 100 or more barrels, 6% of the | ||||||
4 | value of the oil severed from the earth or water. | ||||||
5 | (2) For gas, 6% of the value of the gas severed from | ||||||
6 | the earth or water. | ||||||
7 | If a well is required to be permitted under the Illinois | ||||||
8 | Hydraulic Fracturing Regulatory Act, the tax imposed by this | ||||||
9 | Section applies, whether or not a permit was obtained. | ||||||
10 | (b) Oil produced from a well whose average daily production | ||||||
11 | is 15 barrels or less for the 12-month period immediately | ||||||
12 | preceding the production is exempt from the tax imposed by this | ||||||
13 | Act.
| ||||||
14 | (c) For the purposes of the tax imposed by this Act the | ||||||
15 | amount of oil produced shall be measured or determined, in the | ||||||
16 | case of oil, by tank tables, without deduction for overage or | ||||||
17 | losses in handling. Allowance for any reasonable and bona fide | ||||||
18 | deduction for basic sediment and water, and for correction of | ||||||
19 | temperature to 60 degrees Fahrenheit will be allowed. For the | ||||||
20 | purposes of the tax imposed by this Act the amount of gas | ||||||
21 | produced shall be measured or determined, by meter readings | ||||||
22 | showing 100% of the full volume expressed in cubic feet at a | ||||||
23 | standard base and flowing temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit, | ||||||
24 | and at the absolute pressure at which the gas is sold and | ||||||
25 | purchased. Correction shall be made for pressure according to | ||||||
26 | Boyle's law, and used for specific gravity according to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | gravity at which the gas is sold and purchased. | ||||||
2 | (d) The following severance and production of gas shall be | ||||||
3 | exempt from the tax imposed by this Act: gas injected into the | ||||||
4 | earth for the purpose of lifting oil, recycling, or | ||||||
5 | repressuring; gas used for fuel in connection with the | ||||||
6 | operation and development for, or production of, oil or gas in | ||||||
7 | the production unit where severed; and gas lawfully vented or | ||||||
8 | flared; gas inadvertently lost on the production unit by reason | ||||||
9 | of leaks, blowouts, or other accidental losses. | ||||||
10 | (e) All oil and gas removed from the premises where severed | ||||||
11 | is subject to the tax imposed by this Act unless exempt under | ||||||
12 | the terms of this Act.
| ||||||
13 | (f) The liability for the tax accrues at the time the oil | ||||||
14 | or gas is removed from the production unit.

12 | Such returns shall be filed electronically in the manner | ||||||
13 | prescribed by the Department. Purchasers shall make all | ||||||
14 | payments of that tax to the Department by electronic funds | ||||||
15 | transfer unless, as provided by rule, the Department grants an | ||||||
16 | exception upon petition of a purchaser. Purchasers' returns | ||||||
17 | must be accompanied by appropriate computer generated magnetic | ||||||
18 | media supporting schedule data in the format required by the | ||||||

| ||||||
23 | (35 ILCS 450/2-50)
| ||||||
24 | Sec. 2-50. Operator returns; payment of tax. | ||||||
25 | (a) If, on or after July 1, 2013, oil or gas is transported |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | off the production unit where severed by the operator, used on | ||||||
2 | the production unit where severed, or if the manufacture and | ||||||
3 | conversion of oil and gas into refined products occurs on the | ||||||
4 | production unit where severed, the operator is responsible for | ||||||
5 | remitting the tax imposed under subsection subsections (a) of | ||||||
6 | Section 2-15 15 , on or before the last day of the month | ||||||
7 | following the end of the calendar month in which the oil and | ||||||

17 | (b) Operators shall file all returns electronically in the | ||||||
18 | manner prescribed by the Department unless, as provided by | ||||||
19 | rule, the Department grants an exception upon petition of an | ||||||
20 | operator. Operators shall make all payments of that tax to the | ||||||
21 | Department by electronic funds transfer unless, as provided by | ||||||
22 | rule, the Department grants an exception upon petition of an | ||||||
23 | operator. Operators' returns must be accompanied by | ||||||
24 | appropriate computer generated magnetic media supporting | ||||||
25 | schedule data in the format required by the Department, unless, | ||||||
26 | as provided by rule, the Department grants an exception upon |

2 | (c) Any operator who makes a monetary payment to a producer | ||||||
3 | for his or her portion of the value of products from a | ||||||
4 | production unit shall withhold from such payment the amount of | ||||||
5 | tax due from the producer. Any operator who pays any tax due | ||||||
6 | from a producer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the | ||||||
7 | producer for the tax so paid and may take credit for such | ||||||
8 | amount from any monetary payment to the producer for the value | ||||||
9 | of products. To the extent that an operator required to collect | ||||||
10 | the tax imposed by this Act has actually collected that tax, | ||||||
11 | such tax is held in trust for the benefit of the State of | ||||||
12 | Illinois. | ||||||
13 | (d) In the event the operator fails to make payment of the | ||||||
14 | tax to the State as required herein, the operator shall be | ||||||

20 | action. To the extent that a producer liable for the tax | ||||||
21 | imposed by this Act collects the tax, and any penalties and | ||||||
22 | interest, from an operator, such tax, penalties, and interest | ||||||
23 | are held in trust by the producer for the benefit of the State | ||||||
24 | of Illinois. | ||||||
25 | (e) When the title to any oil or gas severed from the earth | ||||||
26 | or water is in dispute and the operator of such oil or gas is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | withholding payments on account of litigation, or for any other | ||||||
2 | reason, such operator is hereby authorized, empowered and | ||||||
3 | required to deduct from the gross amount thus held the amount | ||||||
4 | of the tax imposed and to make remittance thereof to the | ||||||
5 | Department as provided in this Section. | ||||||
6 | (f) An operator required to file a return and pay the tax | ||||||
7 | under this Section shall register with the Department. | ||||||
8 | Application for a certificate of registration shall be made to | ||||||
9 | the Department upon forms furnished by the Department and shall | ||||||
10 | contain any reasonable information the Department may require. | ||||||
11 | Upon receipt of the application for a certificate of | ||||||
12 | registration in proper form, the Department shall issue to the | ||||||
13 | applicant a certificate of registration. | ||||||
14 | (g) If oil or gas is transported off the production unit | ||||||
15 | where severed by the operator and sold to a purchaser or | ||||||
16 | refiner, the State shall have a lien on all the oil or gas | ||||||
17 | severed from the production unit in this State in the hands of | ||||||
18 | the operator, the first or any subsequent purchaser thereof, or | ||||||
19 | refiner to secure the payment of the tax. If a lien is filed by | ||||||

11 | Section 215. The Electricity Infrastructure Maintenance | ||||||
12 | Fee Law is amended by changing Section 5-6 as follows:
| ||||||
13 | (35 ILCS 645/5-6)
| ||||||
14 | Sec. 5-6. Validity of existing franchise fees and | ||||||
15 | agreement; police
powers. | ||||||
16 | (a) On and after the effective date of this Law, no | ||||||
17 | electricity deliverer
paying an
infrastructure maintenance fee | ||||||
18 | imposed under this Law may be denied the right
to use, directly | ||||||
19 | or
indirectly, public rights of way because of the failure to | ||||||
20 | pay any other fee or
charge for the right to use those rights | ||||||
21 | of way except to the extent that the
electricity deliverer | ||||||
22 | during the Initial Period fails under any existing
franchise | ||||||
23 | agreement to pay franchise fees which are based on the gross | ||||||
24 | receipts
or gross revenues attributable
to non-residential |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | customers or to provide free electrical service or other
| ||||||
2 | compensation attributable to non-residential customers. A | ||||||
3 | municipality that
imposes an infrastructure
maintenance fee | ||||||
4 | pursuant to Section 5-5 shall impose no other fees or charges
| ||||||
5 | upon electricity
deliverers for such use except as provided by
| ||||||
6 | subsections (b) or (c) of this Section.
| ||||||
7 | (b) Agreements between electricity deliverers and | ||||||
8 | municipalities regarding
use of the
public way shall remain | ||||||
9 | valid according to and for their stated terms.
However, a | ||||||
10 | municipality
that, pursuant to a franchise agreement in | ||||||
11 | existence on the effective date of
this Law, receives any
| ||||||
12 | franchise fees, permit fees, free electrical service or other | ||||||
13 | compensation for
use of the public
rights of way, may impose an | ||||||
14 | infrastructure maintenance fee pursuant to this
Law only if the
| ||||||
15 | municipality: (1) waives its right to receive all compensation | ||||||
16 | from the
electricity deliverer for use of the public rights of | ||||||
17 | way during the time the
infrastructure maintenance fee is | ||||||
18 | imposed, except as provided in subsection
(c), and except that | ||||||
19 | during
the Initial Period any municipality may continue to | ||||||
20 | receive franchise fees,
free
electrical service or other | ||||||
21 | compensation from the electricity deliverer which
are equal in | ||||||
22 | value to the Initial Period Compensation;
and (2) provides | ||||||
23 | written notice of this waiver to
the appropriate
electricity | ||||||
24 | deliverer at the time that the municipality provides notice of | ||||||
25 | the
imposition of the
infrastructure maintenance fee under | ||||||
26 | subsection (d) of Section 5-5.
For purposes of this Section, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | "Initial Period Compensation" shall mean the
total amount of | ||||||
2 | compensation due under the existing franchise agreement during
| ||||||
3 | the Initial Period less the amount of the infrastructure | ||||||
4 | maintenance fee
imposed under this Section during
the Initial | ||||||
5 | Period.
| ||||||
6 | (c) Nothing in this Law prohibits a municipality from the | ||||||
7 | reasonable
exercise of its police
powers over the public rights | ||||||
8 | of way. In addition, a municipality may require
an electricity
| ||||||
9 | deliverer to reimburse any special or extraordinary expenses or | ||||||
10 | costs
reasonably incurred by the
municipality as a direct | ||||||
11 | result of damages to its property or public rights of
way, such | ||||||
12 | as the costs
of restoration of streets damaged by an a | ||||||
13 | electricity deliverer that does not make
timely repair of the
| ||||||
14 | damage, or for the loss of revenue due to the inability to use | ||||||
15 | public
facilities as a direct result of
the actions of the | ||||||
16 | electricity deliverer, such as parking meters that are
required | ||||||
17 | to be removed
because of work of an electricity deliverer.

9 | service
in the fire department, as follows:
| ||||||
10 | (a)(1) To the surviving spouse, a monthly pension of
| ||||||
11 | 40% of the monthly salary, and if there is a surviving | ||||||
12 | spouse, to the guardian of any minor child or
children | ||||||
13 | including a child which has been conceived but not yet | ||||||
14 | born, 12%
of such monthly salary for each such child until | ||||||
15 | attainment of age 18 or
until the child's marriage, | ||||||
16 | whichever occurs first. Beginning July 1,
1993, the monthly | ||||||
17 | pension to the surviving spouse shall be 54% of the
monthly | ||||||
18 | salary for all persons receiving a surviving spouse pension | ||||||
19 | under
this Article, regardless of whether the deceased | ||||||
20 | firefighter was in service
on or after the effective date | ||||||
21 | of this amendatory Act of 1993.
| ||||||
22 | (2) Beginning July 1, 2004, unless the amount provided | ||||||
23 | under paragraph (1) of this subsection (a) is greater, the | ||||||
24 | total monthly pension payable under
this paragraph (a), | ||||||
25 | including any amount payable on account of children, to the | ||||||
26 | surviving spouse of a firefighter who died (i) while
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | receiving a retirement pension, (ii) while he or she was a | ||||||
2 | deferred pensioner with at least 20 years of creditable | ||||||
3 | service, or (iii) while he or she was in active service | ||||||
4 | having at least 20 years of creditable service, regardless | ||||||
5 | of age, shall be no less than 100% of the monthly | ||||||
6 | retirement pension earned by
the deceased firefighter at | ||||||
7 | the time of death, regardless of whether death occurs | ||||||
8 | before or after attainment of age 50, including any
| ||||||
9 | increases under Section 4-109.1. This minimum applies to | ||||||
10 | all such surviving
spouses who are eligible to receive a | ||||||
11 | surviving spouse pension, regardless of
whether the | ||||||
12 | deceased firefighter was in service on or after the | ||||||
13 | effective date
of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General | ||||||
14 | Assembly, and notwithstanding any
limitation on maximum | ||||||
15 | pension under paragraph (d) or any other provision of
this | ||||||
16 | Article.
| ||||||
17 | (3) If the pension paid on and after July 1, 2004 to | ||||||
18 | the surviving spouse of a firefighter who died on or after | ||||||
19 | July 1, 2004 and before the effective date of this | ||||||
20 | amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly was less than | ||||||
21 | the minimum pension payable under paragraph (1) or (2) of | ||||||
22 | this subsection (a), the fund shall pay a lump sum equal to | ||||||
23 | the difference within 90 days after the effective date of | ||||||
24 | this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly.
| ||||||
25 | The pension to the surviving spouse shall terminate in | ||||||
26 | the event of the
surviving spouse's remarriage prior to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | July 1, 1993; remarriage on or after
that date does not | ||||||
2 | affect the surviving spouse's pension, regardless of
| ||||||
3 | whether the deceased firefighter was in service on or after | ||||||
4 | the effective
date of this amendatory Act of 1993.
| ||||||
5 | The surviving spouse's pension shall be subject to the | ||||||
6 | minimum established
in Section 4-109.2.
| ||||||
7 | (b) Upon the death of the surviving spouse leaving one | ||||||
8 | or more minor
children, or upon the death of a firefighter | ||||||
9 | leaving one or more minor

11 | support
and maintenance of each such child until the child | ||||||
12 | reaches age 18 or
marries, whichever occurs first, a | ||||||
13 | monthly pension of 20% of the monthly
salary.
| ||||||
14 | In a case where the deceased firefighter left one or | ||||||
15 | more minor children but no surviving spouse and the | ||||||
16 | guardian of a child is receiving a pension of 12% of the | ||||||
17 | monthly salary on August 16, 2013 ( the effective date of | ||||||
18 | Public Act 98-391) this amendatory Act , the pension is | ||||||
19 | increased by Public Act 98-391 this amendatory Act to 20% | ||||||
20 | of the monthly salary for each such child, beginning on the | ||||||
21 | pension payment date occurring on or next following August | ||||||
22 | 16, 2013 the effective date of this amendatory Act . The | ||||||
23 | changes to this Section made by Public Act 98-391 this | ||||||
24 | amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly apply without | ||||||
25 | regard to whether the deceased firefighter was in service
| ||||||
26 | on or after August 16, 2013 the effective date of this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amendatory Act . | ||||||
2 | (c) If a deceased firefighter leaves no surviving | ||||||
3 | spouse or unmarried
minor children under age 18, but leaves | ||||||
4 | a dependent father or mother, to
each dependent parent a | ||||||
5 | monthly pension of 18% of the monthly salary. To
qualify | ||||||
6 | for the pension, a dependent parent must furnish | ||||||
7 | satisfactory proof
that the deceased firefighter was at the | ||||||
8 | time of his or her death the sole
supporter of the parent | ||||||
9 | or that the parent was the deceased's dependent for
federal | ||||||
10 | income tax purposes.
| ||||||
11 | (d) The total pension provided under paragraphs (a), | ||||||
12 | (b) and (c) of this
Section shall not exceed 75% of the | ||||||
13 | monthly salary of the deceased firefighter
(1) when paid to | ||||||
14 | the survivor of a firefighter who has attained 20 or more
| ||||||
15 | years of service credit and who receives or is eligible to | ||||||
16 | receive a retirement
pension under this Article, or (2) | ||||||
17 | when paid to the survivor of a firefighter
who dies as a | ||||||
18 | result of illness or accident, or (3) when paid to the | ||||||
19 | survivor
of a firefighter who dies from any cause while in | ||||||
20 | receipt of a disability
pension under this Article, or (4) | ||||||
21 | when paid to the survivor of a deferred
pensioner. For all | ||||||
22 | other survivors of deceased firefighters, the total | ||||||
23 | pension
provided under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this | ||||||
24 | Section shall not exceed 50%
of the retirement annuity the | ||||||
25 | firefighter would have received on the date of
death.
| ||||||
26 | The maximum pension limitations in this paragraph (d) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | do not control
over any contrary provision of this Article | ||||||
2 | explicitly establishing a minimum
amount of pension or | ||||||
3 | granting a one-time or annual increase in pension.
| ||||||
4 | (e) If a firefighter leaves no eligible survivors under | ||||||
5 | paragraphs (a),
(b) and (c), the board shall refund to the | ||||||
6 | firefighter's estate the amount
of his or her accumulated | ||||||
7 | contributions, less the amount of pension
payments, if any, | ||||||
8 | made to the firefighter while living.
| ||||||
9 | (f) (Blank).
| ||||||
10 | (g) If a judgment of dissolution of marriage between a | ||||||
11 | firefighter and
spouse is judicially set aside subsequent | ||||||
12 | to the firefighter's death, the
surviving spouse is | ||||||
13 | eligible for the pension provided in paragraph (a) only
if | ||||||
14 | the judicial proceedings are filed within 2 years after the | ||||||
15 | date of the
dissolution of marriage and within one year | ||||||
16 | after the firefighter's death and
the board is made a party | ||||||
17 | to the proceedings. In such case the pension shall be
| ||||||
18 | payable only from the date of the court's order setting | ||||||
19 | aside the judgment of
dissolution of marriage.
| ||||||
20 | (h) Benefits payable on account of a child under this | ||||||
21 | Section shall
not be reduced or terminated by reason of the | ||||||
22 | child's attainment of age 18
if he or she is then dependent | ||||||
23 | by reason of a physical or mental disability
but shall | ||||||
24 | continue to be paid as long as such dependency continues.
| ||||||
25 | Individuals over the age of 18 and adjudged as a disabled | ||||||
26 | person pursuant
to Article XIa of the Probate Act of 1975, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | except for persons receiving
benefits under Article III of | ||||||
2 | the Illinois Public Aid Code, shall be
eligible to receive | ||||||
3 | benefits under this Act.
| ||||||
4 | (i) Beginning January 1, 2000, the pension of the | ||||||
5 | surviving spouse of
a firefighter who dies on or after | ||||||
6 | January 1, 1994 as a result of sickness,

7 | injury incurred in or resulting from the performance of an | ||||||
8 | act of
duty or from the cumulative effects of acts of duty | ||||||
9 | shall not be less than 100%
of the salary attached to the | ||||||
10 | rank held by the deceased firefighter on the last
day of | ||||||
11 | service, notwithstanding subsection (d) or any other | ||||||
12 | provision of
this Article.
| ||||||
13 | (j) Beginning July 1, 2004, the pension of the | ||||||
14 | surviving spouse of
a firefighter who dies on or after | ||||||
15 | January 1, 1988 as a result of sickness,
accident, or | ||||||
16 | injury incurred in or resulting from the performance of an | ||||||
17 | act of
duty or from the cumulative effects of acts of duty | ||||||
18 | shall not be less than 100%
of the salary attached to the | ||||||
19 | rank held by the deceased firefighter on the last
day of | ||||||
20 | service, notwithstanding subsection (d) or any other | ||||||
21 | provision of
this Article.
| ||||||
22 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, if a | ||||||
23 | person who first becomes a firefighter under this Article on or | ||||||
24 | after January 1, 2011 and who is not receiving a
disability | ||||||
25 | pension under Section 4-110 or 4-110.1 dies (1) as a result of | ||||||
26 | any
illness or accident, (2) from any cause while in receipt of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a disability
pension under this Article, (3) during retirement | ||||||
2 | after 20 years service, (4) while vested for or in receipt of a | ||||||
3 | pension payable under subsection (b)
of Section 4-109, or (5) | ||||||
4 | while a deferred pensioner, having made all required
| ||||||
5 | contributions, then a pension shall be paid to his or her | ||||||
6 | survivors in the amount of 66 2/3% of the firefighter's earned | ||||||
7 | pension at the date of death. Nothing in this Section shall act | ||||||
8 | to diminish the
survivor's benefits described in subsection (j) | ||||||
9 | of this Section. | ||||||
10 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | ||||||
11 | monthly
pension of a survivor of a person who first becomes a | ||||||
12 | firefighter under this Article on or after January 1, 2011 | ||||||
13 | shall be increased on the January 1 after attainment of age 60 | ||||||
14 | by the recipient of the survivor's pension and
each January 1 | ||||||
15 | thereafter by 3% or one-half the annual unadjusted percentage | ||||||
16 | increase in the consumer price index-u for the
12 months ending | ||||||
17 | with the September preceding each November 1, whichever is | ||||||
18 | less, of the originally granted survivor's pension. If the | ||||||
19 | annual unadjusted percentage change in
the consumer price | ||||||
20 | index-u for a 12-month period ending in September is zero or, | ||||||
21 | when compared with the preceding period, decreases, then the | ||||||
22 | survivor's pension shall not
be increased. | ||||||
23 | For the purposes of this Section, "consumer price index-u" | ||||||
24 | means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of | ||||||
25 | the United States Department of Labor that measures the average | ||||||
26 | change in prices of goods and services purchased by all urban |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | consumers, United States city average, all items, 1982-84 = | ||||||
2 | 100. The new amount resulting from each annual adjustment shall | ||||||
3 | be determined by the Public Pension Division of the Department | ||||||
4 | of Insurance and made available to the boards of the pension | ||||||
5 | funds. | ||||||

2 | may elect to receive,
in lieu of any other employee annuity | ||||||
3 | provided in this Section, an annuity for

purpose of the minimum
| ||||||
23 | annuity provided in this Section $1,500 is considered the | ||||||

10 | salary for annuity
purposes under paragraphs (a) and (b) of | ||||||
11 | this Section, for all periods of
disability benefit subsequent | ||||||
12 | to the year 1956, is the amount on which his
disability benefit | ||||||
13 | was based.
| ||||||
14 | (d) An employee with 20 or more years of service, whose | ||||||
15 | entire disability
benefit credit period expires before
| ||||||
16 | attainment of age 55 while still disabled for service, is | ||||||
17 | entitled upon
withdrawal to the larger of (1) the minimum | ||||||
18 | annuity provided above, assuming he
is then age 55, and | ||||||
19 | reducing such annuity to its actuarial equivalent as of his
| ||||||
20 | attained age on such date or (2) the annuity provided from his | ||||||
21 | age and service
and prior service annuity credits.
| ||||||
22 | (e) The minimum annuity provisions do not apply to any | ||||||
23 | former municipal
employee receiving an annuity from the fund | ||||||
24 | who re-enters service as a
municipal employee, unless he | ||||||
25 | renders at least 3 years of additional
service after the date | ||||||
26 | of re-entry.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (f) An employee in service on July 1, 1947, or who became a | ||||||
2 | contributor
after July 1, 1947 and before attainment of age 70, | ||||||
3 | who withdraws after age
65, with less than 20 years of service | ||||||
4 | for whom the annuity has been fixed
under this Article shall, | ||||||
5 | instead of the annuity so fixed, receive an
annuity as follows:
| ||||||
6 | Such amount as he could have received had the accumulated | ||||||
7 | amounts for
annuity been improved with interest at the | ||||||
8 | effective rate to the date of
his withdrawal, or to attainment | ||||||
9 | of age 70, whichever is earlier, and had
the city contributed | ||||||
10 | to such earlier date for age and service annuity the
amount | ||||||
11 | that it would have contributed had he been under age 65, after | ||||||
12 | the
date his annuity was fixed in accordance with this Article, | ||||||
13 | and assuming
his annuity were computed from such accumulations | ||||||
14 | as of his age on such
earlier date. The annuity so computed | ||||||
15 | shall not exceed the annuity which
would be payable under the | ||||||
16 | other provisions of this Section if the employee
was credited | ||||||
17 | with 20 years of service and would qualify for annuity | ||||||
18 | thereunder.
| ||||||
19 | (g) Instead of the annuity provided in this Article, an | ||||||
20 | employee having
attained age 65 with at least 15 years of | ||||||
21 | service who withdraws from
service on or after July 1, 1971 and | ||||||
22 | whose annuity computed under other
provisions of this Article | ||||||
23 | is less than the amount provided under this
paragraph, is | ||||||
24 | entitled to a minimum annuity for life equal to 1% of the
| ||||||
25 | highest average annual salary, as salary is defined and limited | ||||||
26 | in this
Section for any 4 consecutive years within the last 10 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | years of service for
each year of service, plus the sum of $25 | ||||||
2 | for each year of service. The
annuity shall not exceed 60% of | ||||||
3 | such highest average annual salary.
| ||||||
4 | (g-1) Instead of any other retirement annuity provided in | ||||||
5 | this Article,
an employee who has at least 10 years of service | ||||||
6 | and withdraws from service
on or after January 1, 1999 may | ||||||
7 | elect to receive a retirement annuity for
life, beginning no | ||||||
8 | earlier than upon attainment of age 60, equal to 2.2%
if | ||||||
9 | withdrawal is before January 1, 2002, or 2.4% if withdrawal is | ||||||
10 | on
or after January 1, 2002, of final average salary for each
| ||||||
11 | year of service,
subject to a maximum of 75% of final average | ||||||
12 | salary if withdrawal is before
January 1, 2002, or 80% if | ||||||
13 | withdrawal is on or after January 1, 2002. For
the purpose of | ||||||
14 | calculating this annuity, "final average salary" means the
| ||||||
15 | highest average annual salary for any 4 consecutive years in | ||||||
16 | the last 10 years
of service. Notwithstanding Nothwithstanding | ||||||
17 | any provision of this subsection to the contrary, the "final | ||||||
18 | average salary" for a participant that received credit under | ||||||
19 | subsection (c) of Section 8-226 means the highest average | ||||||
20 | salary for any 4 consecutive years (or any 8 consecutive years | ||||||
21 | if the employee first became a participant on or after January | ||||||
22 | 1, 2011) in the 10 years immediately prior to the leave of | ||||||
23 | absence, and adding to that highest average salary, the product | ||||||
24 | of (i) that highest average salary, (ii) the average percentage | ||||||
25 | increase in the Consumer Price Index during each 12-month | ||||||
26 | calendar year for the calendar years during the participant's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | leave of absence, and (iii) the length of the leave of absence | ||||||
2 | in years, provided that this shall not exceed the participant's | ||||||
3 | salary at the local labor organization. For purposes of this | ||||||
4 | Section, the Consumer Price Index is the Consumer Price Index | ||||||
5 | for All Urban Consumers for all items published by the United | ||||||
6 | States Department of Labor.
| ||||||
7 | (h) The minimum annuities provided under this Section shall | ||||||
8 | be paid in
equal monthly installments.
| ||||||
9 | (i) The amendatory provisions of part (b) and (g) of this | ||||||
10 | Section shall
be effective July 1, 1971 and apply in the case | ||||||
11 | of every qualifying
employee withdrawing on or after July 1, | ||||||
12 | 1971.
| ||||||
13 | (j) The amendatory provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
14 | 1985 (P.A.
84-23) relating to the discount of annuity because | ||||||
15 | of retirement prior to
attainment of age 60, and to the | ||||||
16 | retirement formula, for those born before
January 1, 1936, | ||||||
17 | shall apply only to qualifying employees withdrawing on or
| ||||||
18 | after July 18, 1985.
| ||||||
19 | (j-1) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 92-609 | ||||||
20 | (increasing the retirement
formula to 2.4% per year of service | ||||||
21 | and increasing the maximum to 80%) apply
to persons who | ||||||
22 | withdraw from service on or after January 1, 2002, regardless
| ||||||
23 | of whether that withdrawal takes place before the effective | ||||||
24 | date of that Act. In the case of a person who withdraws from | ||||||
25 | service
on or after January 1, 2002 but begins to receive a | ||||||
26 | retirement annuity before
July 1, 2002, the annuity
shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | recalculated, with the increase resulting from Public Act | ||||||
2 | 92-609
accruing from the date the retirement annuity
began. The | ||||||
3 | changes made by Public Act 92-609 control over the changes made
| ||||||
4 | by Public Act 92-599, as provided in Section 95 of P.A. 92-609.
| ||||||
5 | (k) Beginning on January 1, 1999, the minimum amount of | ||||||
6 | employee's annuity
shall be $850 per month for life for the | ||||||
7 | following classes of employees,
without regard to the fact that | ||||||
8 | withdrawal occurred prior to the effective date
of this | ||||||
9 | amendatory Act of 1998:
| ||||||
10 | (1) any employee annuitant alive and receiving a life | ||||||
11 | annuity on
the effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
12 | 1998,
except a reciprocal annuity;
| ||||||
13 | (2) any employee annuitant alive and receiving a term | ||||||
14 | annuity on
the effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
15 | 1998,
except a reciprocal annuity;
| ||||||
16 | (3) any employee annuitant alive and receiving a | ||||||
17 | reciprocal annuity on
the effective date of this amendatory | ||||||
18 | Act of 1998,
whose service in this fund is at least 5 | ||||||
19 | years;
| ||||||
20 | (4) any employee annuitant withdrawing after age 60 on | ||||||
21 | or after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1998,
| ||||||
22 | with at least 10 years of service in this fund.
| ||||||
23 | The increases granted under items (1), (2) and (3) of this | ||||||
24 | subsection (k)
shall not be limited by any other Section of | ||||||
25 | this Act.

combined is less than | ||||||
13 | the amount stated in this Section, shall, from and
after the | ||||||
14 | date of withdrawal, in lieu of all annuities otherwise provided
| ||||||
15 | in this Article, be entitled to receive an annuity for life of | ||||||
16 | an amount
equal to 1 2/3% for each year of service, of the | ||||||
17 | highest average annual
salary for any 5 consecutive years | ||||||
18 | within the last 10 years of service
immediately preceding the | ||||||
19 | date of withdrawal; provided, that in the case of
any employee | ||||||
20 | who withdraws on or after July 1, 1971, such employee age 60
or | ||||||

24 | years of service; 2.10% for each
year of service in excess of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 20 but not exceeding 30; and 2.30% for each
year of service in | ||||||
2 | excess of 30, based on the highest average annual salary
for | ||||||
3 | any 4 consecutive years within the last 10 years of service | ||||||
4 | immediately
preceding the date of withdrawal.
| ||||||
5 | An employee who withdraws after July 1, 1957 and before | ||||||
6 | January 1,
1988, with 20 or more years of service, before age | ||||||
7 | 60, shall be entitled to
an annuity, to begin not earlier than | ||||||
8 | age 55, if under such age at
withdrawal, as computed in the | ||||||
9 | last preceding paragraph, reduced 0.25% if
the employee was | ||||||
10 | born before January 1, 1936, or 0.5% if the employee was
born | ||||||
11 | on or after January 1, 1936, for each full month or fractional | ||||||
12 | part
thereof that his attained age when such annuity is to | ||||||
13 | begin is less than 60.
| ||||||
14 | Any employee born before January 1, 1936 who withdraws

20 | the next 10 years
of service, 2.20% for each year of service in | ||||||
21 | excess of 20, but not
exceeding 30, and 2.40% for each year of | ||||||
22 | service in excess of 30,
of the highest average annual salary | ||||||
23 | for any 4
consecutive years within the last 10 years of service | ||||||
24 | immediately preceding
the date of withdrawal, to begin not | ||||||
25 | earlier than upon attained age of 55
years, if under such age | ||||||
26 | at withdrawal, reduced 0.25% for each full month
or fractional |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | part thereof that his attained age when annuity is to begin
is | ||||||
2 | less than 60; except that an employee retiring on or after | ||||||
3 | January 1,
1988, at age 55 or over but less than age 60, having | ||||||
4 | at least 35 years of
service, or an employee retiring on or | ||||||

| ||||||
11 | However, in the case of an employee who retired on or after | ||||||
12 | January 1,
1985 but before January 1, 1988, at age 55 or older | ||||||
13 | and with at least 35
years of service, and who was subject | ||||||
14 | under this subsection (a) to the

15 | annuity because of retirement below age 60, that
reduction | ||||||
16 | shall cease to be effective January 1, 1991, and the retirement
| ||||||
17 | annuity shall be recalculated accordingly.
| ||||||
18 | Any employee who withdraws on or after July 1, 1990, with | ||||||

2002, of the highest | ||||||
24 | average annual salary for any 4
consecutive years within the | ||||||
25 | last 10 years of service immediately preceding
the date of | ||||||
26 | withdrawal, to begin not earlier than upon attained age of 55
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | years, if under such age at withdrawal, reduced 0.25% for each | ||||||
2 | full month
or fractional part thereof that his attained age | ||||||
3 | when annuity is to begin
is less than 60; except that an | ||||||
4 | employee retiring at age 55 or over but
less than age 60, | ||||||
5 | having at least 30 years of service, shall not be subject
to | ||||||
6 | the reduction in retirement annuity because of retirement below | ||||||
7 | age 60.
| ||||||
8 | Any employee who withdraws on or after the effective date | ||||||
9 | of this
amendatory Act of 1997 with 20 or more years of service | ||||||
10 | may elect to receive,
in lieu of any other employee annuity | ||||||
11 | provided in this Section, an annuity for
life equal to 2.20% | ||||||
12 | for each year of service if withdrawal is before
January 1, | ||||||
13 | 2002, or 2.40% for each year of service if withdrawal is
on or
| ||||||
14 | after January 1, 2002, of the
highest average annual
salary for | ||||||
15 | any 4 consecutive years within the last 10 years of service
| ||||||
16 | immediately preceding the date of withdrawal, to begin not | ||||||
17 | earlier than upon
attainment of age 55 (age 50 if the employee | ||||||
18 | has at least 30 years of service),
reduced 0.25% for each full | ||||||
19 | month or remaining fractional part thereof that the
employee's | ||||||
20 | attained age when annuity is to begin is less than 60; except | ||||||
21 | that
an employee retiring at age 50 or over with at least 30 | ||||||
22 | years of service or at
age 55 or over with at least 25 years of | ||||||
23 | service shall not be subject to the
reduction in retirement | ||||||
24 | annuity because of retirement below age 60.
| ||||||
25 | The maximum annuity payable under this paragraph (a) of | ||||||
26 | this Section
shall not exceed 70% of highest average annual |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | salary in the case of an
employee who withdraws prior to July | ||||||
2 | 1, 1971, 75% if withdrawal takes place on
or after July 1, 1971 | ||||||
3 | and prior to January 1, 2002, or 80% if
withdrawal
is on or | ||||||
4 | after January 1, 2002. For the purpose of the
minimum annuity
| ||||||
5 | provided in said paragraphs $1,500 shall be considered the | ||||||
6 | minimum annual
salary for any year; and the maximum annual | ||||||
7 | salary to be considered for the
computation of such annuity | ||||||
8 | shall be $4,800 for any year prior to 1953,
$6,000 for the | ||||||
9 | years 1953 to 1956, inclusive, and the actual annual salary,
as | ||||||
10 | salary is defined in this Article, for any year thereafter.
| ||||||
11 | (b) For an employee receiving disability benefit, his | ||||||
12 | salary for annuity
purposes under this Section shall, for all | ||||||
13 | periods of disability benefit
subsequent to the year 1956, be | ||||||
14 | the amount on which his disability benefit
was based.
| ||||||
15 | (c) An employee with 20 or more years of service, whose | ||||||
16 | entire
disability benefit credit period expires prior to | ||||||
17 | attainment of age 55
while still disabled for service, shall be | ||||||
18 | entitled upon withdrawal to the
larger of (1) the minimum | ||||||
19 | annuity provided above assuming that he is then
age 55, and | ||||||
20 | reducing such annuity to its actuarial equivalent at his
| ||||||
21 | attained age on such date, or (2) the annuity provided from his | ||||||
22 | age and
service and prior service annuity credits.
| ||||||
23 | (d) The minimum annuity provisions as aforesaid shall not | ||||||
24 | apply to any
former employee receiving an annuity from the | ||||||
25 | fund, and who re-enters
service as an employee, unless he | ||||||
26 | renders at least 3 years of additional
service after the date |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of re-entry.
| ||||||
2 | (e) An employee in service on July 1, 1947, or who became a | ||||||
3 | contributor
after July 1, 1947 and prior to July 1, 1950, or | ||||||
4 | who shall become a
contributor to the fund after July 1, 1950 | ||||||
5 | prior to attainment of age 70,
who withdraws after age 65 with | ||||||
6 | less than 20 years of service, for whom the
annuity has been | ||||||
7 | fixed under the foregoing Sections of this Article shall,
in | ||||||
8 | lieu of the annuity so fixed, receive an annuity as follows:
| ||||||
9 | Such amount as he could have received had the accumulated | ||||||
10 | amounts for
annuity been improved with interest at the | ||||||
11 | effective rate to the date of
his withdrawal, or to attainment | ||||||
12 | of age 70, whichever is earlier, and had
the city contributed | ||||||
13 | to such earlier date for age and service annuity the
amount | ||||||
14 | that would have been contributed had he been under age 65, | ||||||
15 | after the
date his annuity was fixed in accordance with this | ||||||
16 | Article, and assuming
his annuity were computed from such | ||||||
17 | accumulations as of his age on such
earlier date. The annuity | ||||||
18 | so computed shall not exceed the annuity which
would be payable | ||||||
19 | under the other provisions of this Section if the employee
was | ||||||
20 | credited with 20 years of service and would qualify for annuity
| ||||||
21 | thereunder.
| ||||||
22 | (f) In lieu of the annuity provided in this or in any other | ||||||
23 | Section of
this Article, an employee having attained age 65 | ||||||
24 | with at least 15 years of
service who withdraws from service on | ||||||
25 | or after July 1, 1971 and whose
annuity computed under other | ||||||
26 | provisions of this Article is less than the
amount provided |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under this paragraph shall be entitled to receive a minimum
| ||||||
2 | annual annuity for life equal to 1% of the highest average | ||||||
3 | annual salary
for any 4 consecutive years within the last 10 | ||||||
4 | years of service immediately
preceding retirement for each year | ||||||
5 | of his service plus the sum of $25 for
each year of service. | ||||||
6 | Such annual annuity shall not exceed the maximum
percentages | ||||||
7 | stated under paragraph (a) of this Section of such highest
| ||||||
8 | average annual salary.
| ||||||
9 | (f-1) Instead of any other retirement annuity provided in | ||||||
10 | this Article,
an employee who has at least 10 years of service | ||||||
11 | and withdraws from service
on or after January 1, 1999 may | ||||||
12 | elect to receive a retirement annuity for
life, beginning no | ||||||
13 | earlier than upon attainment of age 60, equal to 2.2%
if | ||||||
14 | withdrawal is before January 1, 2002, or 2.4% for each year of
| ||||||
15 | service if
withdrawal is on or after January 1, 2002, of final
| ||||||
16 | average salary for
each
year of service, subject to a maximum | ||||||
17 | of 75% of final average salary
if withdrawal is before January | ||||||
18 | 1, 2002, or 80% if withdrawal is on
or after
January 1, 2002. | ||||||
19 | For the purpose of calculating this
annuity, "final average
| ||||||
20 | salary" means the highest average annual salary for any 4 | ||||||
21 | consecutive years
in the last 10 years of service. | ||||||
22 | Notwithstanding Nothwithstanding any provision of this | ||||||
23 | subsection to the contrary, the "final average salary" for a | ||||||
24 | participant that received credit under item (3) of subsection | ||||||
25 | (c) of Section 11-215 means the highest average salary for any | ||||||
26 | 4 consecutive years (or any 8 consecutive years if the employee |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | first became a participant on or after January 1, 2011) in the | ||||||
2 | 10 years immediately prior to the leave of absence, and adding | ||||||
3 | to that highest average salary, the product of (i) that highest | ||||||
4 | average salary, (ii) the average percentage increase in the | ||||||
5 | Consumer Price Index during each 12-month calendar year for the | ||||||
6 | calendar years during the participant's leave of absence, and | ||||||
7 | (iii) the length of the leave of absence in years, provided | ||||||
8 | that this shall not exceed the participant's salary at the | ||||||
9 | local labor organization. For purposes of this Section, the | ||||||
10 | Consumer Price Index is the Consumer Price Index for All Urban | ||||||
11 | Consumers for all items published by the United States | ||||||
12 | Department of Labor.
| ||||||
13 | (g) Any annuity payable under the preceding subsections of | ||||||
14 | this Section
11-134 shall be paid in equal monthly | ||||||
15 | installments.
| ||||||
16 | (h) The amendatory provisions of part (a) and (f) of this | ||||||
17 | Section shall
be effective July 1, 1971 and apply in the case | ||||||
18 | of every qualifying
employee withdrawing on or after July 1, | ||||||
19 | 1971.
| ||||||
20 | (h-1) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 92-609 | ||||||
21 | (increasing the retirement
formula to 2.4% per year of service | ||||||
22 | and increasing the maximum to 80%) apply
to persons who | ||||||
23 | withdraw from service on or after January 1, 2002, regardless
| ||||||
24 | of whether that withdrawal takes place before the effective | ||||||
25 | date of that Act. In the case of a person who withdraws from | ||||||
26 | service
on or after January 1, 2002 but begins to receive a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | retirement annuity before
July 1, 2002, the annuity
shall be | ||||||
2 | recalculated, with the increase resulting from Public Act | ||||||
3 | 92-609
accruing from the date the retirement annuity
began. The | ||||||
4 | changes made by Public Act 92-609 control over the changes made
| ||||||
5 | by Public Act 92-599, as provided in Section 95 of P.A. 92-609.
| ||||||
6 | (i) The amendatory provisions of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
7 | 1985 relating to
the discount of annuity because of retirement | ||||||
8 | prior to attainment of age 60
and increasing the retirement | ||||||
9 | formula for those born before January 1, 1936,
shall apply only | ||||||
10 | to qualifying employees withdrawing on or after
August 16, | ||||||
11 | 1985.
| ||||||
12 | (j) Beginning on January 1, 1999, the minimum amount of | ||||||
13 | employee's annuity
shall be $850 per month for life for the | ||||||
14 | following classes of employees,
without regard to the fact that | ||||||
15 | withdrawal occurred prior to the effective
date of this | ||||||
16 | amendatory Act of 1998:
| ||||||
17 | (1) any employee annuitant alive and receiving a life | ||||||
18 | annuity on the
effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
19 | 1998, except a reciprocal
annuity;
| ||||||
20 | (2) any employee annuitant alive and receiving a term | ||||||
21 | annuity on the
effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
22 | 1998, except a reciprocal
annuity;
| ||||||
23 | (3) any employee annuitant alive and receiving a | ||||||
24 | reciprocal annuity on
the effective date of this amendatory | ||||||
25 | Act of 1998, whose service
in this fund is at least 5 | ||||||
26 | years;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) any employee annuitant withdrawing after age 60 on | ||||||

23 | 6-27005 and by setting forth and renumbering multiple versions | ||||||
24 | of Section 5-1134 as follows:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (55 ILCS 5/3-3016.5) | ||||||
2 | Sec. 3-3016.5. Sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy | ||||||
3 | (SUDEP). | ||||||
4 | (a) All autopsies conducted in this State shall include an | ||||||
5 | inquiry to determine whether the death was a direct result of a | ||||||
6 | seizure or epilepsy. If the findings in an autopsy of a medical | ||||||
7 | examiner, examining physician, or coroner are consistent with | ||||||
8 | known or suspected sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy | ||||||
9 | (SUDEP), then the medical examiner, examining physician, or | ||||||
10 | coroner shall: | ||||||
11 | (1) cause to be indicated on the death certificate that | ||||||
12 | SUDEP is the cause or suspected cause of death; and | ||||||
13 | (2) forward a copy of the death certificate to the | ||||||
14 | North American SUDEP Registry at the Langone Medical Center | ||||||
15 | at New York University within 30 days. | ||||||
16 | (b) For the purposes of this Section, "sudden , unexpected | ||||||
17 | death in epilepsy" refers to a death in a patient previously | ||||||
18 | diagnosed with epilepsy that is not due to trauma, drowning, | ||||||
19 | status epilepticus, or other known causes, but for which there | ||||||
20 | is often evidence of an associated seizure. A finding of | ||||||
21 | sudden, unexpected death in epilepsy is definite when clinical | ||||||
22 | criteria are met and autopsy reveals no alternative cause of | ||||||
23 | death, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, or drug | ||||||
24 | intoxication, although there may be evidence of a seizure.

8 | be deposited into the Recorder's Automation Fund and may not be | ||||||
9 | appropriated or expended for any other purpose. The additional | ||||||
10 | amounts available to the recorder for expenditure from the | ||||||

18 | Each certificate of such recorder of the recording of the | ||||||

11 | A special fund shall be set up by the treasurer of the | ||||||
12 | county and such
funds collected pursuant to Public Act 83-1321 | ||||||
13 | shall be used (1)
for
a document storage system to provide the | ||||||
14 | equipment, materials and necessary
expenses incurred to help | ||||||
15 | defray the costs of implementing and maintaining
such a | ||||||

3 | into that fund
must be used solely for the equipment, | ||||||
4 | materials, and necessary expenses
incurred in implementing and | ||||||
5 | maintaining a Geographic Information System and

| ||||||
7 | Geographic Information System records.
The remaining $1 must be | ||||||
8 | deposited into the recorder's special funds created
under | ||||||
9 | Section 3-5005.4. The recorder may, in his or her discretion, | ||||||
10 | use moneys
in the funds created under Section 3-5005.4 to | ||||||
11 | defray the cost of implementing
or maintaining the county's | ||||||
12 | Geographic Information System
and to defray the cost of | ||||||
13 | providing electronic access to the county's
Geographic
| ||||||
14 | Information System records. | ||||||
15 | The recorder shall collect a $9 Rental Housing Support | ||||||
16 | Program State
surcharge for the recordation of any real | ||||||
17 | estate-related document. Payment of the
Rental Housing Support | ||||||
18 | Program State surcharge shall be evidenced by a receipt
that | ||||||
19 | shall be marked upon or otherwise affixed to the real | ||||||
20 | estate-related document
by the recorder. The form of this | ||||||
21 | receipt shall be prescribed by the Department
of Revenue and | ||||||
22 | the receipts shall be issued by the Department of Revenue to
| ||||||
23 | each county recorder. | ||||||
24 | The recorder shall not collect the Rental Housing Support | ||||||
25 | Program State surcharge from any State agency, any unit of | ||||||
26 | local government or any school district. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | On the 15th day of each month, each county recorder shall | ||||||
2 | report
to the Department of Revenue, on a form prescribed by | ||||||
3 | the Department,
the number of real estate-related documents | ||||||
4 | recorded for which
the Rental Housing Support Program
State | ||||||
5 | surcharge was collected. Each recorder shall submit $9 of each | ||||||
6 | surcharge collected in the
preceding month to the Department of | ||||||
7 | Revenue and the Department
shall deposit these amounts in the | ||||||
8 | Rental Housing Support Program Fund. Subject to appropriation, | ||||||
9 | amounts in the Fund may be expended only for the purpose of | ||||||
10 | funding and administering the Rental Housing Support Program. | ||||||
11 | For purposes of this Section, "real estate-related | ||||||
12 | document" means that term as it is defined in Section 7 of the | ||||||
13 | Rental Housing Support Program Act.
| ||||||
14 | The foregoing fees allowed by this Section are the maximum | ||||||
15 | fees that
may be collected from any officer, agency, department | ||||||
16 | or other
instrumentality of the State. The county board may, | ||||||
17 | however, by ordinance,
increase the fees allowed by this | ||||||
18 | Section and collect such increased fees
from all persons and | ||||||
19 | entities other than officers, agencies, departments
and other | ||||||
20 | instrumentalities of the State if the increase is justified by | ||||||
21 | an
acceptable cost study showing that the fees allowed by this | ||||||
22 | Section are not
sufficient to cover the cost of providing the | ||||||
23 | service.
Regardless of any other provision in this Section, the | ||||||
24 | maximum fee that may
be collected from the Department of | ||||||
25 | Revenue for filing or indexing a
lien, certificate of lien | ||||||

the Department of Revenue for indexing | ||||||
4 | each additional name in excess
of one for any lien, certificate | ||||||
5 | of lien release or subordination, or any other
type of notice | ||||||

7 | A statement of the costs of providing each service, program | ||||||
8 | and activity
shall be prepared by the county board. All | ||||||

public record and subject to | ||||||
10 | public examination and audit. All direct and
indirect costs, as | ||||||
11 | defined in the United States Office of Management and
Budget | ||||||
12 | Circular A-87, may be included in the determination of the | ||||||
13 | costs of

16 | (55 ILCS 5/5-1062.3) | ||||||
17 | Sec. 5-1062.3. Stormwater management; DuPage and Peoria | ||||||
18 | Counties. | ||||||
19 | (a) The purpose of this Section is to allow management and | ||||||
20 | mitigation of the effects of urbanization on stormwater | ||||||
21 | drainage in the metropolitan counties of DuPage and Peoria, and | ||||||
22 | references to "county" in this Section apply only to those | ||||||
23 | counties. This Section does not apply to a municipality that | ||||||
24 | only partially lies within one of these counties and, on the | ||||||
25 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assembly, is served by an existing Section in the Counties Code | ||||||
2 | regarding stormwater management. The purpose of this Section | ||||||
3 | shall be achieved by: | ||||||
4 | (1) consolidating the existing stormwater management | ||||||
5 | framework into a
united, countywide structure; | ||||||
6 | (2) setting minimum standards for floodplain and | ||||||
7 | stormwater management;
and | ||||||
8 | (3) preparing a countywide plan for the management of | ||||||
9 | stormwater runoff,
including the management of natural and | ||||||
10 | man-made drainageways. The countywide
plan may incorporate | ||||||
11 | watershed plans. | ||||||
12 | (b) A stormwater management planning committee may be | ||||||
13 | established by county board resolution, with its membership | ||||||
14 | consisting of equal numbers of county board and municipal | ||||||
15 | representatives from each county board district, and such other | ||||||
16 | members as may be determined by the county and municipal | ||||||
17 | members. If the county has more than 6 county board districts, | ||||||
18 | however, the county board may by ordinance divide the county | ||||||
19 | into not less than 6 areas of approximately equal population, | ||||||
20 | to be used instead of county board districts for the purpose of | ||||||
21 | determining representation on the stormwater management | ||||||
22 | planning committee. | ||||||
23 | The county board members shall be appointed by the chairman | ||||||
24 | of the county board. Municipal members from each county board | ||||||
25 | district or other represented area shall be appointed by a | ||||||
26 | majority vote of the mayors of those municipalities that have |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the greatest percentage of their respective populations | ||||||
2 | residing in that county board district or other represented | ||||||
3 | area. All municipal and county board representatives shall be | ||||||
4 | entitled to a vote; the other members shall be nonvoting | ||||||
5 | members, unless authorized to vote by the unanimous consent of | ||||||
6 | the municipal and county board representatives. A municipality | ||||||
7 | that is located in more than one county may choose, at the time | ||||||
8 | of formation of the stormwater management planning committee | ||||||
9 | and based on watershed boundaries, to participate in the | ||||||
10 | stormwater management planning program of either county. | ||||||
11 | Subcommittees of the stormwater management planning committee | ||||||
12 | may be established to serve a portion of the county or a | ||||||
13 | particular drainage basin that has similar stormwater | ||||||
14 | management needs. The stormwater management planning committee | ||||||
15 | shall adopt bylaws, by a majority vote of the county and | ||||||
16 | municipal members, to govern the functions of the committee and | ||||||
17 | its subcommittees. Officers of the committee shall include a | ||||||
18 | chair and vice chair, one of whom shall be a county | ||||||
19 | representative and one a municipal representative. | ||||||
20 | The principal duties of the committee shall be to develop a | ||||||
21 | stormwater management plan for presentation to and approval by | ||||||
22 | the county board, and to direct the plan's implementation and | ||||||
23 | revision. The committee may retain engineering, legal, and | ||||||
24 | financial advisors and inspection personnel. The committee | ||||||
25 | shall meet at least quarterly and shall hold at least one | ||||||
26 | public meeting during the preparation of the plan and prior to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | its submittal to the county board. The committee may make | ||||||
2 | grants to units of local government that have adopted an | ||||||
3 | ordinance requiring actions consistent with the stormwater | ||||||
4 | management plan and to landowners for the purposes of | ||||||
5 | stormwater management, including special projects; use of the | ||||||
6 | grant money must be consistent with the stormwater management | ||||||
7 | plan. | ||||||
8 | The committee shall not have or exercise any power of | ||||||
9 | eminent domain. | ||||||
10 | (c) In the preparation of a stormwater management plan, a | ||||||
11 | county stormwater management planning committee shall | ||||||
12 | coordinate the planning process with each adjoining county to | ||||||
13 | ensure that recommended stormwater projects will have no | ||||||
14 | significant impact on the levels or flows of stormwaters in | ||||||
15 | inter-county watersheds or on the capacity of existing and | ||||||
16 | planned stormwater retention facilities. An adopted stormwater | ||||||
17 | management plan shall identify steps taken by the county to | ||||||
18 | coordinate the development of plan recommendations with | ||||||
19 | adjoining counties. | ||||||
20 | (d) The stormwater management committee may not enforce any | ||||||
21 | rules or regulations that would interfere with (i) any power | ||||||
22 | granted by the Illinois Drainage Code (70 ILCS 605/) to | ||||||
23 | operate, construct, maintain, or improve drainage systems or | ||||||
24 | (ii) the ability to operate, maintain, or improve the drainage | ||||||
25 | systems used on or by land or a facility used for production | ||||||
26 | agriculture purposes, as defined in the Use Tax Act (35 ILCS |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 105/), except newly constructed buildings and newly installed | ||||||
2 | impervious paved surfaces. Disputes regarding an exception | ||||||
3 | shall be determined by a mutually agreed upon arbitrator paid | ||||||
4 | by the disputing party or parties. | ||||||
5 | (e) Before the stormwater management planning committee | ||||||
6 | recommends to the county board a stormwater management plan for | ||||||
7 | the county or a portion thereof, it shall submit the plan to | ||||||
8 | the Office of Water Resources of the Department of Natural | ||||||
9 | Resources for review and recommendations. The Office, in | ||||||
10 | reviewing the plan, shall consider such factors as impacts on | ||||||
11 | the levels or flows in rivers and streams and the cumulative | ||||||
12 | effects of stormwater discharges on flood levels. The Office of | ||||||
13 | Water Resources shall determine whether the plan or ordinances | ||||||
14 | enacted to implement the plan complies with the requirements of | ||||||
15 | subsection (f). Within a period not to exceed 60 days, the | ||||||
16 | review comments and recommendations shall be submitted to the | ||||||
17 | stormwater management planning committee for consideration. | ||||||
18 | Any amendments to the plan shall be submitted to the Office for | ||||||
19 | review. | ||||||
20 | (f) Prior to recommending the plan to the county board, the | ||||||
21 | stormwater management planning committee shall hold at least | ||||||
22 | one public hearing thereon and shall afford interested persons | ||||||
23 | an opportunity to be heard. The hearing shall be held in the | ||||||
24 | county seat. Notice of the hearing shall be published at least | ||||||
25 | once and no less than 15 days in advance of the hearing in a | ||||||
26 | newspaper of general circulation published in the county. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | notice shall state the time and place of the hearing and the | ||||||
2 | place where copies of the proposed plan will be accessible for | ||||||
3 | examination by interested parties. If an affected municipality | ||||||
4 | having a stormwater management plan adopted by ordinance wishes | ||||||
5 | to protest the proposed county plan provisions, it shall appear | ||||||
6 | at the hearing and submit in writing specific proposals to the | ||||||
7 | stormwater management planning committee. After consideration | ||||||
8 | of the matters raised at the hearing, the committee may amend | ||||||
9 | or approve the plan and recommend it to the county board for | ||||||
10 | adoption. | ||||||
11 | The county board may enact the proposed plan by ordinance. | ||||||
12 | If the proposals for modification of the plan made by an | ||||||
13 | affected municipality having a stormwater management plan are | ||||||
14 | not included in the proposed county plan, and the municipality | ||||||
15 | affected by the plan opposes adoption of the county plan by | ||||||
16 | resolution of its corporate authorities, approval of the county | ||||||
17 | plan shall require an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds | ||||||
18 | of the county board members present and voting. If the county | ||||||
19 | board wishes to amend the county plan, it shall submit in | ||||||
20 | writing specific proposals to the stormwater management | ||||||
21 | planning committee. If the proposals are not approved by the | ||||||
22 | committee, or are opposed by resolution of the corporate | ||||||
23 | authorities of an affected municipality having a municipal | ||||||
24 | stormwater management plan, amendment of the plan shall require | ||||||
25 | an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the county board | ||||||
26 | members present and voting. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (g) The county board may prescribe by ordinance reasonable | ||||||
2 | rules and regulations for floodplain management and for | ||||||
3 | governing the location, width, course, and release rate of all | ||||||
4 | stormwater runoff channels, streams, and basins in the county, | ||||||
5 | in accordance with the adopted stormwater management plan. | ||||||
6 | Land, facilities, and drainage district facilities used for | ||||||
7 | production agriculture as defined in subsection (d) shall not | ||||||
8 | be subjected to regulation by the county board or stormwater | ||||||
9 | management committee under this Section for floodplain | ||||||
10 | management and for governing location, width, course, | ||||||
11 | maintenance, and release rate of stormwater runoff channels, | ||||||
12 | streams and basins, or water discharged from a drainage | ||||||
13 | district. These rules and regulations shall, at a minimum, meet | ||||||
14 | the standards for floodplain management established by the | ||||||
15 | Office of Water Resources and the requirements of the Federal | ||||||
16 | Emergency Management Agency for participation in the National | ||||||
17 | Flood Insurance Program. With respect to DuPage County only, | ||||||
18 | the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning may not impose | ||||||
19 | more stringent regulations regarding water quality on entities | ||||||
20 | discharging in accordance with a valid National Pollution | ||||||
21 | Discharge Elimination System permit issued under the | ||||||
22 | Environmental Protection Act. | ||||||
23 | (h) For the purpose of implementing this Section and for | ||||||
24 | the development, design, planning, construction, operation, | ||||||
25 | and maintenance of stormwater facilities provided for in the | ||||||
26 | adopted stormwater management plan, a county board that has |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | established a stormwater management planning committee | ||||||
2 | pursuant to this Section or has participated in a stormwater | ||||||
3 | management planning process may adopt a schedule of fees | ||||||
4 | applicable to all real property within the county which | ||||||
5 | benefits from the county's stormwater management facilities | ||||||
6 | and activities, and as may be necessary to mitigate the effects | ||||||
7 | of increased stormwater runoff resulting from development. The | ||||||
8 | total amount of the fees assessed must be specifically and | ||||||
9 | uniquely attributable to the actual costs of the county in the | ||||||
10 | preparation, administration, and implementation of the adopted | ||||||
11 | stormwater management plan, construction and maintenance of | ||||||
12 | stormwater facilities, and other activities related to the | ||||||
13 | management of the runoff from the property. The individual fees | ||||||
14 | must be specifically and uniquely attributable to the portion | ||||||
15 | of the actual cost to the county of managing the runoff from | ||||||
16 | the property. The fees shall be used to finance activities | ||||||
17 | undertaken by the county or its included municipalities to | ||||||
18 | mitigate the effects of urban stormwater runoff by providing | ||||||
19 | and maintaining stormwater collection, retention, detention, | ||||||
20 | and particulate treatment facilities, and improving water | ||||||
21 | bodies impacted by stormwater runoff, as identified in the | ||||||
22 | county plan. In establishing, maintaining, or replacing such | ||||||
23 | facilities, the county shall not duplicate facilities operated | ||||||
24 | by other governmental bodies within its corporate boundaries. | ||||||
25 | The schedule of fees established by the county board shall | ||||||
26 | include a procedure for a full or partial fee waiver for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property owners who have taken actions or put in place | ||||||
2 | facilities that reduce or eliminate the cost to the county of | ||||||
3 | providing stormwater management services to their property. | ||||||
4 | The county board may also offer tax or fee rebates or incentive | ||||||
5 | payments to property owners who construct, maintain, and use | ||||||
6 | approved green infrastructure stormwater management devices or | ||||||
7 | any other methods that reduce or eliminate the cost to the | ||||||
8 | county of providing stormwater management services to the | ||||||
9 | property, including but not limited to facilities that reduce | ||||||
10 | the volume, temperature, velocity, and pollutant load of the | ||||||
11 | stormwater managed by the county, such as systems that | ||||||
12 | infiltrate, evapotranspirate, or harvest stormwater for reuse, | ||||||
13 | known as "green infrastructure". In exercising this authority, | ||||||
14 | the county shall provide notice to the municipalities within | ||||||
15 | its jurisdiction their jurisdictions of any fees proposed under | ||||||
16 | this Section and seek the input of each municipality with | ||||||
17 | respect to the calculation of the fees. The county shall also | ||||||
18 | give property owners at least 2 years' notice of the fee, | ||||||
19 | during which time the county shall provide education on green | ||||||
20 | infrastructure practices and an opportunity to take action to | ||||||
21 | reduce or eliminate the fee. All these fees collected by the | ||||||
22 | county shall be held in a separate fund, and shall be expended | ||||||
23 | only in the watershed within which they were collected. The | ||||||
24 | county may enter into intergovernmental agreements with other | ||||||
25 | government bodies for the joint administration of stormwater | ||||||
26 | management and the collection of the fees authorized in this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section. | ||||||
2 | A fee schedule authorized by this subsection must have the | ||||||
3 | same limit as the authorized stormwater tax. In Peoria County | ||||||
4 | only, the fee schedule shall not be adopted unless (i) a | ||||||
5 | referendum has been passed approving a stormwater tax as | ||||||
6 | provided in subsection (i) of this Section; or (ii) the | ||||||
7 | question of the adoption of a fee schedule with the same limit | ||||||
8 | as the authorized stormwater tax has been approved in a | ||||||
9 | referendum by a majority of those voting on the question. | ||||||
10 | (i) In the alternative to a fee imposed under subsection | ||||||
11 | (h), the county board may cause an annual tax of not to exceed | ||||||
12 | 0.20% of the value, as equalized or assessed by the Department | ||||||
13 | of Revenue, of all taxable property in the county to be levied | ||||||
14 | upon all the taxable property in the county. The property tax | ||||||
15 | shall be in addition to all other taxes authorized by law to be | ||||||
16 | levied and collected in the county and shall be in addition to | ||||||
17 | the maximum tax rate authorized by law for general county | ||||||
18 | purposes. The 0.20% limitation provided in this Section may be | ||||||
19 | increased or decreased by referendum in accordance with the | ||||||
20 | provisions of Sections 18-120, 18-125, and 18-130 of the | ||||||
21 | Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/). | ||||||
22 | Any revenues generated as a result of ownership or | ||||||
23 | operation of facilities or land acquired with the tax funds | ||||||
24 | collected pursuant to this subsection shall be held in a | ||||||
25 | separate fund and be used either to abate such property tax or | ||||||
26 | for implementing this Section. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If at least part of the county has been declared by a | ||||||
2 | presidential proclamation after July 1, 1986 and before | ||||||
3 | December 31, 1987, to be a disaster area as a result of | ||||||
4 | flooding, the tax authorized by this subsection does not | ||||||
5 | require approval by referendum. However, in Peoria County, the | ||||||
6 | tax authorized by this subsection shall not be levied until the | ||||||
7 | question of its adoption, either for a specified period or | ||||||
8 | indefinitely, has been submitted to the electors thereof and | ||||||
9 | approved by a majority of those voting on the question. This | ||||||
10 | question may be submitted at any election held in the county | ||||||
11 | after the adoption of a resolution by the county board | ||||||
12 | providing for the submission of the question to the electors of | ||||||
13 | the county. The county board shall certify the resolution and | ||||||
14 | proposition to the proper election officials, who shall submit | ||||||
15 | the proposition at an election in accordance with the general | ||||||
16 | election law. If a majority of the votes cast on the question | ||||||
17 | is in favor of the levy of the tax, it may thereafter be levied | ||||||
18 | in the county for the specified period or indefinitely, as | ||||||
19 | provided in the proposition. The question shall be put in | ||||||
20 | substantially the following form: | ||||||
21 | Shall an annual tax be levied
for stormwater management | ||||||
22 | purposes (for a period of not more than ..... years) at a | ||||||
23 | rate not exceeding
.....% of the equalized assessed
value | ||||||
24 | of the taxable property of ..... County? | ||||||
25 | Votes shall be recorded as Yes or No. | ||||||
26 | The following question may be submitted at any election |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | held in the county after the adoption of a resolution by the | ||||||
2 | county board providing for the submission of the question to | ||||||
3 | the electors of the county to authorize adoption of a schedule | ||||||
4 | of fees applicable to all real property within the county: | ||||||
5 | Shall the county board be authorized to adopt a | ||||||
6 | schedule of fees, at a rate not exceeding that of the | ||||||
7 | stormwater management tax, applicable to all real property | ||||||
8 | for preparation, administration, and implementation of an | ||||||
9 | adopted stormwater management plan, construction and | ||||||
10 | maintenance of related facilities, and management of the | ||||||
11 | runoff from the property? | ||||||
12 | Votes shall be recorded as Yes or No. | ||||||
13 | If these questions have been approved by a majority of | ||||||
14 | those voting prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||||||
15 | of the 98th General Assembly, this subsection does not apply. | ||||||
16 | (j) For those counties that adopt a property tax in | ||||||
17 | accordance with the provisions in this Section, the stormwater | ||||||
18 | management committee shall offer property tax abatements or | ||||||
19 | incentive payments to property owners who construct, maintain, | ||||||
20 | and use approved stormwater management devices. The stormwater | ||||||
21 | management committee is authorized to offer credits to the | ||||||
22 | property tax, if applicable, based on authorized practices | ||||||
23 | consistent with the stormwater management plan and approved by | ||||||
24 | the committee. Expenses of staff of a stormwater management | ||||||
25 | committee that are expended on regulatory project review may be | ||||||
26 | no more than 20% of the annual budget of the committee, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | including funds raised under subsections (h) and (i). | ||||||
2 | (k) Upon the creation and implementation of a county | ||||||
3 | stormwater management
plan, the county may petition the circuit | ||||||
4 | court to dissolve any or all drainage
districts created | ||||||
5 | pursuant to the Illinois Drainage Code or predecessor Acts
| ||||||
6 | which are located entirely within the area of the county | ||||||
7 | covered by the plan. | ||||||
8 | However, any active drainage district implementing a plan | ||||||
9 | that is
consistent with and at least as stringent as the county | ||||||
10 | stormwater
management plan may petition the stormwater | ||||||
11 | management planning committee
for exception from dissolution. | ||||||
12 | Upon filing of the petition, the committee
shall set a date for | ||||||
13 | hearing not less than 2 weeks, nor more than 4 weeks,
from the | ||||||
14 | filing thereof, and the committee shall give at least one | ||||||
15 | week's
notice of the hearing in one or more newspapers of | ||||||
16 | general circulation
within the district, and in addition shall | ||||||
17 | cause a copy of the notice to be
personally served upon each of | ||||||
18 | the trustees of the district. At the
hearing, the committee | ||||||
19 | shall hear the district's petition and allow the
district | ||||||
20 | trustees and any interested parties an opportunity to present | ||||||
21 | oral
and written evidence. The committee shall render its | ||||||
22 | decision upon the
petition for exception from dissolution based | ||||||
23 | upon the best interests of
the residents of the district. In | ||||||
24 | the event that the exception is not
allowed, the district may | ||||||
25 | file a petition within 30 days of the decision
with the circuit | ||||||
26 | court. In that case, the notice and hearing requirements
for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the court shall be the same as herein provided for the | ||||||
2 | committee.
The court shall likewise render its decision of | ||||||
3 | whether to dissolve the
district based upon the best interests | ||||||
4 | of residents of the district. | ||||||
5 | The dissolution of any drainage district shall not affect | ||||||
6 | the obligation
of any bonds issued or contracts entered into by | ||||||
7 | the district nor
invalidate the levy, extension or collection | ||||||
8 | of any taxes or special
assessments upon the property in the | ||||||
9 | former drainage district. All property
and obligations of the | ||||||
10 | former drainage district shall be assumed and
managed by the | ||||||
11 | county, and the debts of the former drainage district shall
be | ||||||
12 | discharged as soon as practicable. | ||||||
13 | If a drainage district lies only partly within a county | ||||||
14 | that adopts a
county stormwater management plan, the county may | ||||||
15 | petition the circuit
court to disconnect from the drainage | ||||||
16 | district that portion of the district
that lies within that | ||||||
17 | county. The property of the drainage district within the
| ||||||
18 | disconnected area shall be assumed and managed by the county. | ||||||
19 | The county shall
also assume a portion of the drainage | ||||||
20 | district's debt at the time of
disconnection, based on the | ||||||
21 | portion of the value of the taxable property of the
drainage | ||||||
22 | district which is located within the area being disconnected. | ||||||
23 | The operations of any drainage district that continues to | ||||||
24 | exist in a
county that has adopted a stormwater management plan | ||||||
25 | in accordance with
this Section shall be in accordance with the | ||||||
26 | adopted plan. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (l) Any county that has adopted a county stormwater | ||||||
2 | management plan under this Section may, after 10 days' days | ||||||
3 | written notice receiving consent of the owner or occupant, | ||||||
4 | enter upon any lands or waters within the county for the | ||||||
5 | purpose of inspecting stormwater facilities or causing the | ||||||
6 | removal of any obstruction to an affected watercourse. If | ||||||
7 | consent is denied or cannot be reasonably obtained, the county | ||||||
8 | ordinance shall provide a process or procedure for an | ||||||
9 | administrative warrant to be obtained. The county shall be | ||||||
10 | responsible for any damages occasioned thereby. | ||||||
11 | (m) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (a) of this | ||||||
12 | Section, upon petition of the municipality, and based on a | ||||||
13 | finding of the stormwater management planning committee, the | ||||||
14 | county shall not enforce rules and regulations adopted by the | ||||||
15 | county in any municipality located wholly or partly within the | ||||||
16 | county that has a municipal stormwater management ordinance | ||||||
17 | that is consistent with and at least as stringent as the county | ||||||
18 | plan and ordinance, and is being enforced by the municipal | ||||||
19 | authorities. On issues that the county ordinance is more | ||||||
20 | stringent as deemed by the committee, the county shall only | ||||||
21 | enforce rules and regulations adopted by the county on the more | ||||||
22 | stringent issues and accept municipal permits. The county shall | ||||||
23 | have no more than 60 days to review permits or the permits | ||||||
24 | shall be deemed approved. | ||||||
25 | (n) A county may issue general obligation bonds for | ||||||
26 | implementing any stormwater plan adopted under this Section in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the manner prescribed in Section 5-1012; except that the | ||||||
2 | referendum requirement of Section 5-1012 does not apply to | ||||||
3 | bonds issued pursuant to this Section on which the principal | ||||||
4 | and interest are to be paid entirely out of funds generated by | ||||||
5 | the taxes and fees authorized by this Section. | ||||||
6 | (o) A county that has adopted a fee schedule pursuant to | ||||||
7 | this Section may not thereafter issue any bond extensions | ||||||
8 | related to implementing a stormwater management plan. | ||||||
9 | (p) The powers authorized by this Section may be | ||||||
10 | implemented by the county board for a portion of the county | ||||||
11 | subject to similar stormwater management needs. | ||||||
12 | (q) The powers and taxes authorized by this Section are in | ||||||
13 | addition to the powers and taxes authorized by Division 5-15; | ||||||
14 | in exercising its powers under this Section, a county shall not | ||||||
15 | be subject to the restrictions and requirements of that | ||||||
16 | Division. | ||||||
17 | (r) Stormwater management projects and actions related to | ||||||

3 | municipality may prevent
and regulate all amusements and | ||||||
4 | activities having a tendency to annoy or
endanger persons or | ||||||
5 | property on the sidewalks, streets, and other municipal
| ||||||
6 | property. However, no municipality may prohibit a charitable | ||||||
7 | organization, as defined in Section 2 of the Charitable Games | ||||||
8 | Act, from soliciting for charitable purposes, including | ||||||
9 | solicitations taking place on public roadways from passing | ||||||
10 | motorists, if all of the following requirements are met.

11 | (1) The persons to be engaged in the solicitation are | ||||||
12 | law enforcement personnel, firefighters, or other persons | ||||||
13 | employed to protect the public safety of a local agency, | ||||||
14 | and that are soliciting solely in an area that is within | ||||||
15 | the service area of that local agency. | ||||||
16 | (2) The charitable organization files an application | ||||||
17 | with the municipality having jurisdiction over the | ||||||
18 | location or locations where the solicitation is to occur. | ||||||
19 | The application applications shall be filed not later than | ||||||
20 | 10 business days before the date that the solicitation is | ||||||

require that the | ||||||
15 | district be notified of open burning within the district
before | ||||||
16 | it takes
place, but shall not require that a permit for open | ||||||
17 | burning be
obtained from the
district. The district may
not | ||||||
18 | enforce an ordinance adopted under this Section within the | ||||||
19 | corporate limits

23 | unreasonable danger to persons or
adjacent property or

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | types of
combustibles. The
unreasonable risk may include the | ||||||
2 | height of flames, windblown embers, the
creation of hazardous
| ||||||
3 | fumes, or an unattended fire. Fire departments may not | ||||||
4 | unreasonably interfere
with permitted and
legal open burning.
| ||||||
5 | (c) The fire protection district may provide that persons | ||||||
6 | setting open burns
on
any agricultural
land with an area of 50 | ||||||
7 | acres or more may voluntarily comply with the

8 | ordinance
adopted under this Section.
| ||||||
9 | (d) The fire chief or any other designated officer of a | ||||||
10 | fire department of any fire protection district incorporated | ||||||
11 | under this Act may, with the authorization of the board of | ||||||
12 | trustees of the fire protection district, prohibit open burning | ||||||
13 | within the district on an emergency basis, for a limited period | ||||||
14 | of time, if (i) the atmospheric conditions or other | ||||||
15 | circumstances create an unreasonable risk of fire because of | ||||||
16 | wind, weather, or the types of combustibles and (ii) the | ||||||
17 | resources of the fire department are not sufficient to control | ||||||
18 | and suppress a fire resulting from one or more of the | ||||||
19 | conditions or circumstances described in clause (i) of this | ||||||
20 | subsection. For the purposes of this subsection, "open burning" | ||||||
21 | includes, but is not limited to, the burning of landscape | ||||||
22 | waste, agricultural waste, household trash, and garbage. | ||||||

25 | under this Act may fix, charge, and collect fees associated | ||||||
26 | with the fire department extinguishing an open burning that is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | prohibited under subsection (d) of this Section. The fee may be | ||||||
2 | imposed against any person causing or engaging in the | ||||||
3 | prohibited activity. The total amount collected for | ||||||
4 | compensation of the fire protection district shall be assessed | ||||||
5 | in accordance with both the rates provided in Section 11f(c) of | ||||||

15 | Sec. 11j. Installation of access or key boxes. The board of | ||||||
16 | trustees of any fire protection district may, by ordinance, | ||||||
17 | require the installation of an access or key box if: (1) a | ||||||
18 | structure is protected by an automatic fire alarm or security | ||||||
19 | system or access to or within the structure or area is unduly | ||||||
20 | difficult because of secured openings; and (2) immediate access | ||||||
21 | is necessary for life-saving purposes. In the case of a health | ||||||
22 | care facility that is secured by an electronic code box that is | ||||||
23 | in good working order, if the owner of the health care facility | ||||||
24 | provides the fire department with a valid access code, then | ||||||
25 | that health care facility is not required to be accessible by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | an access or key box. For the purposes of this Section, "health | ||||||
2 | care facility" means: a hospital licensed under the Hospital | ||||||
3 | Licensing Act or the University of Illinois Hospital Act; a | ||||||
4 | nursing home or long-term care facility licensed under the | ||||||
5 | Nursing Home Care Act; an assisted living establishment, as | ||||||
6 | defined in the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act; a mental | ||||||
7 | health facility, as defined in the Mental Health and | ||||||
8 | Developmental Disabilities Code; a supportive living facility | ||||||
9 | certified to participate in the supportive living facilities | ||||||
10 | program under Section 5-5.01a of the Illinois Public Aid Code; | ||||||
11 | or a facility licensed under the Specialized Mental Health | ||||||
12 | Rehabilitation Act of 2013 . "Access or key box" means a secure | ||||||
13 | device with a lock operable only by a fire department master | ||||||
14 | key, and containing building entry keys and other keys that may | ||||||
15 | be required for access in an emergency. | ||||||
16 | The access or key box shall be of an approved type listed | ||||||
17 | in accordance with the most recently published version of the | ||||||
18 | standard Underwriters Laboratories 1037 and shall contain keys | ||||||
19 | to gain access as required by the fire chief of the fire | ||||||
20 | protection district, or his or her designee. | ||||||
21 | An ordinance enacted under this Section may specify | ||||||
22 | particular classes or types of structures or occupancies that | ||||||
23 | are required to install an access or key box. However, an | ||||||
24 | ordinance enacted under this Section shall not apply to single | ||||||
25 | family residential structures or to facilities owned or | ||||||
26 | operated by a public utility, as that term is defined under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 3-105 of the Public Utilities Act.

In each park district a fund to be known as a | ||||||
7 | "Working
Cash Fund" may be created, set apart, maintained and | ||||||
8 | administered in the
manner prescribed in this Article, for the | ||||||
9 | purpose of enabling the district

13 | Section 255. The Elmwood Park Grade Separation Authority | ||||||
14 | Act is amended by changing Sections 10, 50, and 60 as follows:
| ||||||
15 | (70 ILCS 1935/10)
| ||||||
16 | Sec. 10. Legislative declaration. The General Assembly | ||||||
17 | declares that the welfare, health, prosperity, and moral and | ||||||
18 | general well being of the people of the State are, in large | ||||||
19 | measure, dependent upon the sound and orderly development of | ||||||
20 | municipal areas. The Village of Elmwood Park , by reason of the | ||||||
21 | location there of Grand Avenue and its use for vehicular travel | ||||||
22 | in access to the entire west metropolitan Chicago area, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | including municipalities in 2 counties, as well as commercial | ||||||
2 | and industrial growth patterns and accessibility to O'Hare | ||||||
3 | International Airport, manufacturing and freight related | ||||||
4 | services, has become and will increasingly be the hub of | ||||||
5 | transportation from all parts of the region and throughout the | ||||||
6 | west metropolitan area. Motor vehicle traffic, pedestrian | ||||||
7 | travel, and the safety of both motorists and pedestrians are | ||||||
8 | substantially aggravated by the location of a major railroad | ||||||
9 | right-of-way that divides the Village into north and south | ||||||
10 | halves. The presence of the railroad right-of-way has | ||||||
11 | effectively impeded the development of highway usage and | ||||||
12 | rights-of-way and is detrimental to the orderly expansion of | ||||||
13 | industry and commerce and to progress throughout the region. | ||||||
14 | Additionally, the railroad grade crossing located on Grand | ||||||
15 | Avenue within the Village of Elmwood Park has posed a | ||||||
16 | significant safety hazard to the public. The Illinois Commerce | ||||||
17 | Commission Collision History illustrates that there have been 8 | ||||||
18 | fatalities and 29 injuries since 1956 at the railroad grade | ||||||
19 | crossing located on Grand Avenue within the Village. The | ||||||
20 | presence of the railroad right-of-way at grade crossing within | ||||||
21 | the Village is detrimental to the safety of the public, as well | ||||||
22 | as to the orderly expansion of industry and commerce and to | ||||||
23 | progress of the region. To alleviate this situation, it is | ||||||
24 | necessary to separate the grade crossing on Grand Avenue within | ||||||
25 | the Village, to relocate the railroad tracks and right-of-way, | ||||||
26 | and to acquire property for separation of the railroad or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | highway , and to create an agency to facilitate and accomplish | ||||||
2 | that grade separation.

20 | by entering into an agreement that a member act on the | ||||||
21 | Authority's behalf, in which instance the act or performance | ||||||

14 | providing a minimum term of at least 185
days to insure 176 | ||||||

16 | 18-8.05, except that for the 1980-1981 school year only 175 | ||||||
17 | days
of actual
pupil attendance shall be required because of | ||||||

19 | 1981 upon the appointment by the President
of that day as a day | ||||||
20 | of thanksgiving for the freedom of the Americans who

institute but not used as such or used as parental | ||||||
23 | institutes as provided
in Section 10-22.18d shall increase the | ||||||
24 | minimum term by the school days not
so used. Except as provided | ||||||

3 | case of
such necessary extension school employees
shall be paid | ||||||
4 | for such additional time on the basis of their regular
| ||||||
5 | contracts. A school board may specify a closing date earlier | ||||||
6 | than that
set on the annual calendar when the schools of the | ||||||
7 | district have
provided the minimum number of computable days | ||||||
8 | under this Section.
Nothing in this Section prevents the board | ||||||

employing other | ||||||
13 | personnel before or after the regular school term with
payment | ||||||
14 | of salary proportionate to that received for comparable work
| ||||||
15 | during the school term.
| ||||||
16 | A school board may make such changes in its calendar for | ||||||
17 | the school term
as may be required by any changes in the legal | ||||||
18 | school holidays prescribed
in Section 24-2. A school board may | ||||||
19 | make changes in its calendar for the
school term as may be | ||||||
20 | necessary to reflect the utilization of teachers'
institute | ||||||
21 | days as parental institute days as provided in Section | ||||||
22 | 10-22.18d.
| ||||||
23 | The calendar for the school term and any changes must be | ||||||
24 | submitted to and approved by the regional superintendent of | ||||||

board may, by resolution of its board and in | ||||||
3 | agreement with affected
exclusive collective bargaining | ||||||
4 | agents, establish experimental
educational programs, including | ||||||
5 | but not limited to programs for
self-directed learning or | ||||||
6 | outside of formal class periods, which programs
when so | ||||||

24 | (a) This Section applies beginning on July 1, 2012. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) The State Board of Education, in consultation with the | ||||||
2 | State Educator Preparation and Licensure Board, shall design | ||||||
3 | and implement a system of examinations, which shall be required | ||||||
4 | prior to the issuance of educator licenses. These examinations | ||||||
5 | and indicators must be based on national and State professional | ||||||
6 | teaching standards, as determined by the State Board of | ||||||
7 | Education, in consultation with the State Educator Preparation | ||||||
8 | and Licensure Board. The State Board of Education may adopt | ||||||
9 | such rules as may be necessary to implement and administer this | ||||||
10 | Section. No score on a test required under this Section, other | ||||||
11 | than a test of basic skills, shall be more than 5 years old at | ||||||
12 | the time that an individual makes application for an educator | ||||||
13 | license or endorsement. | ||||||
14 | (c) Applicants seeking a Professional Educator License or | ||||||
15 | an Educator License with Stipulations shall be required to pass | ||||||
16 | a test of basic skills before the license is issued, unless the | ||||||
17 | endorsement the individual is seeking does not require passage | ||||||
18 | of the test. All applicants completing Illinois-approved, | ||||||
19 | teacher education or school service personnel preparation | ||||||
20 | programs shall be required to pass the State Board of | ||||||
21 | Education's recognized test of basic skills prior to starting | ||||||
22 | their student teaching or starting the final semester of their | ||||||
23 | internship, unless required earlier at the discretion of the | ||||||
24 | recognized, Illinois institution in which they are completing | ||||||
25 | their approved program. An individual who passes a test of | ||||||
26 | basic skills does not need to do so again for subsequent |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | endorsements or other educator licenses. | ||||||
2 | (d) All applicants seeking a State license shall be | ||||||
3 | required to pass a test of content area knowledge for each area | ||||||
4 | of endorsement for which there is an applicable test. There | ||||||
5 | shall be no exception to this requirement. No candidate shall | ||||||
6 | be allowed to student teach or serve as the teacher of record | ||||||
7 | until he or she has passed the applicable content area test. | ||||||
8 | (e) All applicants seeking a State license endorsed in a | ||||||
9 | teaching field shall pass the assessment of professional | ||||||
10 | teaching (APT). Passage of the APT is required for completion | ||||||
11 | of an approved Illinois educator preparation program. | ||||||
12 | (f) Beginning on September 1, 2015, all candidates | ||||||
13 | completing teacher preparation programs in this State are | ||||||
14 | required to pass an evidence-based assessment of teacher | ||||||
15 | effectiveness approved by the State Board of Education, in | ||||||
16 | consultation with the State Educator Preparation and Licensure | ||||||
17 | Board. All recognized institutions offering approved teacher | ||||||
18 | preparation programs must begin phasing in the approved teacher | ||||||
19 | performance assessment no later than July 1, 2013. | ||||||
20 | (g) Tests of basic skills and content area knowledge and | ||||||
21 | the assessment of professional teaching shall be the tests that | ||||||
22 | from time to time are designated by the State Board of | ||||||
23 | Education, in consultation with the State Educator Preparation | ||||||
24 | and Licensure Board, and may be tests prepared by an | ||||||
25 | educational testing organization or tests designed by the State | ||||||
26 | Board of Education, in consultation with the State Educator |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Preparation and Licensure Board. The areas to be covered by a | ||||||
2 | test of basic skills shall include reading, language arts, and | ||||||
3 | mathematics. The test of content area knowledge shall assess | ||||||
4 | content knowledge in a specific subject field. The tests must | ||||||
5 | be designed to be racially neutral to ensure that no person | ||||||
6 | taking the tests is discriminated against on the basis of race, | ||||||
7 | color, national origin, or other factors unrelated to the | ||||||
8 | person's ability to perform as a licensed employee. The score | ||||||
9 | required to pass the tests shall be fixed by the State Board of | ||||||
10 | Education, in consultation with the State Educator Preparation | ||||||
11 | and Licensure Board. The tests shall be administered not fewer | ||||||
12 | than 3 times a year at such time and place as may be designated | ||||||
13 | by the State Board of Education, in consultation with the State | ||||||
14 | Educator Preparation and Licensure Board. | ||||||
15 | The State Board shall implement a test or tests to assess | ||||||
16 | the speaking, reading, writing, and grammar skills of | ||||||
17 | applicants for an endorsement or a license issued under | ||||||
18 | subdivision (G) of paragraph (2) of Section 21B-20 of this Code | ||||||
19 | in the English language and in the language of the transitional | ||||||
20 | bilingual education program requested by the applicant. | ||||||
21 | (h) Except as provided in Section 34-6 of this Code, the | ||||||
22 | provisions of this Section shall apply equally in any school | ||||||
23 | district subject to Article 34 of this Code. | ||||||
24 | (i) The rules developed to implement and enforce the | ||||||
25 | testing requirements under this Section shall include | ||||||
26 | provisions governing test selection, test validation and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | determination of a passing score, administration of the tests, | ||||||
2 | frequency of administration, applicant fees, frequency of | ||||||
3 | applicants taking the tests, the years for which a score is | ||||||
4 | valid, and appropriate special accommodations. The State Board | ||||||
5 | of Education shall develop such rules as may be needed to | ||||||
6 | ensure uniformity from year to year in the level of difficulty | ||||||
7 | for each form of an assessment.

Education Act is amended by changing | ||||||
17 | Section 3 as follows:
| ||||||
18 | (105 ILCS 110/3)
| ||||||
19 | Sec. 3. Comprehensive Health Education Program. The | ||||||
20 | program established
under this Act shall include, but not be | ||||||
21 | limited to, the following major
educational areas as a basis | ||||||
22 | for curricula in all elementary and secondary
schools in this | ||||||
23 | State: human ecology and health, human growth and
development, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the emotional, psychological, physiological, hygienic and
| ||||||
2 | social responsibilities of family life, including sexual | ||||||
3 | abstinence until
marriage, prevention and control of disease, | ||||||
4 | including instruction in
grades 6 through 12 on the prevention, | ||||||
5 | transmission and spread of AIDS, age-appropriate sexual abuse | ||||||
6 | and assault awareness and prevention education in grades | ||||||
7 | pre-kindergarten through 12, public and environmental health, | ||||||
8 | consumer health, safety education and
disaster survival, | ||||||
9 | mental health and illness, personal health habits,
alcohol, | ||||||
10 | drug use, and abuse including the medical and legal | ||||||
11 | ramifications
of alcohol, drug, and tobacco use, abuse during | ||||||
12 | pregnancy, evidence-based and medically accurate information | ||||||
13 | regarding sexual
abstinence, tobacco, nutrition, and dental | ||||||
14 | health. The program shall also provide course material and | ||||||
15 | instruction to advise pupils of the Abandoned Newborn Infant | ||||||
16 | Protection Act.
The program shall include information about | ||||||
17 | cancer, including without limitation types of cancer, signs and | ||||||
18 | symptoms, risk factors, the importance of early prevention and | ||||||
19 | detection, and information on where to go for help. | ||||||
20 | Notwithstanding the above educational areas, the following | ||||||
21 | areas may also
be included as a basis for curricula in all | ||||||
22 | elementary and secondary
schools in this State: basic first aid | ||||||
23 | (including, but not limited to,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation | ||||||
24 | and the Heimlich maneuver), heart disease, diabetes, stroke, | ||||||
25 | the
prevention of child abuse, neglect, and suicide, and teen | ||||||
26 | dating violence in grades 7 through 12. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The school board of each
public elementary and secondary | ||||||
2 | school in the State
shall encourage all teachers and other | ||||||
3 | school personnel to acquire,
develop, and maintain the | ||||||
4 | knowledge and skills necessary to properly
administer | ||||||
5 | life-saving techniques, including without limitation the
| ||||||
6 | Heimlich maneuver and rescue breathing.
The training shall be | ||||||
7 | in
accordance with standards of the
American Red Cross, the | ||||||
8 | American Heart Association, or another nationally
recognized | ||||||
9 | certifying organization.
A school board may use the
services of | ||||||
10 | non-governmental entities whose personnel have expertise in
| ||||||
11 | life-saving techniques to instruct teachers and other school | ||||||
12 | personnel in
these techniques. Each school board
is encouraged | ||||||
13 | to have in
its employ, or on its volunteer staff, at least one | ||||||
14 | person who is certified, by
the American Red Cross or by | ||||||
15 | another qualified certifying agency,
as qualified to | ||||||
16 | administer first aid and
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. In | ||||||
17 | addition, each school board is authorized to
allocate | ||||||
18 | appropriate portions of its institute or inservice days to | ||||||
19 | conduct
training programs for teachers and other school | ||||||
20 | personnel who have expressed an
interest in becoming qualified | ||||||
21 | to administer emergency first aid or
cardiopulmonary | ||||||
22 | resuscitation. School boards are urged to
encourage their | ||||||
23 | teachers and other school personnel who coach school athletic
| ||||||
24 | programs and other extracurricular school activities to | ||||||
25 | acquire, develop, and
maintain the knowledge and skills | ||||||
26 | necessary to properly administer first aid
and cardiopulmonary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | resuscitation in accordance with standards and requirements
| ||||||
2 | established by the American Red Cross or another qualified | ||||||
3 | certifying agency. Subject to appropriation, the State Board of | ||||||
4 | Education shall establish and administer a matching grant | ||||||
5 | program to pay for half of the cost that a school district | ||||||
6 | incurs in training those teachers and other school personnel | ||||||
7 | who express an interest in becoming qualified to administer | ||||||
8 | cardiopulmonary resuscitation (which training must be in
| ||||||
9 | accordance with standards of the
American Red Cross, the | ||||||
10 | American Heart Association, or another nationally
recognized | ||||||
11 | certifying organization) or in learning how to use an automated | ||||||
12 | external defibrillator. A school district that applies for a | ||||||
13 | grant must demonstrate that it has funds to pay half of the | ||||||
14 | cost of the training for which matching grant money is sought. | ||||||
15 | The State Board of Education shall award the grants on a | ||||||
16 | first-come, first-serve basis.
| ||||||
17 | No pupil shall be
required to take or participate in any | ||||||
18 | class or course on AIDS or family
life instruction if his | ||||||
19 | parent or guardian submits written objection
thereto, and | ||||||
20 | refusal to take or participate in the course or program shall
| ||||||
21 | not be reason for suspension or expulsion of the pupil.
| ||||||
22 | Curricula developed under programs established in | ||||||
23 | accordance with this
Act in the major educational area of | ||||||
24 | alcohol and drug use and abuse shall
include classroom | ||||||
25 | instruction in grades 5 through 12. The instruction,
which | ||||||
26 | shall include matters relating to both the physical and legal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | effects
and ramifications of drug and substance abuse, shall be | ||||||
2 | integrated into
existing curricula; and the State Board of | ||||||
3 | Education shall develop and make
available to all elementary | ||||||
4 | and secondary schools in this State
instructional materials and | ||||||
5 | guidelines which will assist the schools in
incorporating the | ||||||
6 | instruction into their existing curricula. In
addition, school | ||||||
7 | districts may offer, as part of existing curricula during
the | ||||||
8 | school day or as part of an after school program, support | ||||||
9 | services and
instruction for pupils or pupils whose parent, | ||||||
10 | parents, or guardians are
chemically dependent.

| ||||||
13 | Section 280. The Public Community College Act is amended by | ||||||
14 | changing Section 2-16.02 as follows:
| ||||||
15 | (110 ILCS 805/2-16.02) (from Ch. 122, par. 102-16.02)
| ||||||
16 | Sec. 2-16.02. Grants. Any community college district that | ||||||
17 | maintains a
community college recognized by the State Board | ||||||
18 | shall receive, when eligible,
grants enumerated in this | ||||||
19 | Section. Funded semester credit hours or other
measures or both | ||||||
20 | as specified by the State Board shall be used to distribute
| ||||||
21 | grants to community colleges. Funded semester credit hours | ||||||
22 | shall be defined,
for purposes of this Section, as the greater | ||||||
23 | of
(1) the number of semester credit hours, or equivalent, in | ||||||
24 | all funded
instructional categories of students who have been |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | certified as being in
attendance at midterm during the | ||||||
2 | respective terms of the base fiscal year or
(2) the average of | ||||||
3 | semester credit hours, or equivalent, in all funded
| ||||||
4 | instructional categories of students who have been certified as | ||||||
5 | being in
attendance at midterm during the respective terms of | ||||||
6 | the base fiscal year and
the 2 prior fiscal years. For purposes | ||||||
7 | of this Section, "base fiscal year"
means the fiscal year 2 | ||||||
8 | years prior to the fiscal year for which the grants are
| ||||||
9 | appropriated. Such students shall have been residents of | ||||||
10 | Illinois and shall
have been enrolled in courses that are part | ||||||
11 | of instructional program categories
approved by the State Board | ||||||
12 | and that are applicable toward an associate degree
or | ||||||
13 | certificate.
Courses that are eligible for reimbursement are | ||||||
14 | those courses for which
the district pays 50% or more of the | ||||||
15 | program costs from unrestricted
revenue sources, with the | ||||||
16 | exception of courses offered by contract with
the Department of | ||||||
17 | Corrections in correctional institutions. For the
purposes of | ||||||
18 | this Section, "unrestricted revenue sources" means those
| ||||||
19 | revenues in which the provider of the revenue imposes no | ||||||
20 | financial
limitations upon the district as it relates to the | ||||||
21 | expenditure of the funds. Except for Fiscal Year 2012, base | ||||||
22 | operating grants shall be paid based on rates per funded
| ||||||
23 | semester credit hour or equivalent calculated by the State | ||||||
24 | Board for funded
instructional categories using cost of | ||||||
25 | instruction, enrollment, inflation, and
other relevant | ||||||
26 | factors. For Fiscal Year 2012, the allocations for base |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | operating grants to community college districts shall be the | ||||||
2 | same as they were in Fiscal Year 2011, reduced or increased | ||||||
3 | proportionately according to the appropriation for base | ||||||
4 | operating grants for Fiscal Year 2012.
| ||||||
5 | Equalization grants shall be calculated by the State Board | ||||||
6 | by determining a
local revenue factor for each district by: (A) | ||||||
7 | adding (1)
each district's Corporate Personal Property | ||||||
8 | Replacement Fund
allocations from the base
fiscal year or the | ||||||
9 | average of the base fiscal year and prior year, whichever is
| ||||||
10 | less, divided by the applicable statewide average tax rate to | ||||||
11 | (2) the
district's most recently audited
year's equalized | ||||||
12 | assessed valuation or the average of the most recently audited
| ||||||
13 | year and prior year, whichever is less, (B) then dividing by | ||||||
14 | the district's
audited full-time equivalent resident students | ||||||
15 | for the base fiscal year or the
average for the base fiscal | ||||||
16 | year and the 2 prior fiscal years, whichever is
greater, and | ||||||
17 | (C) then multiplying by the applicable statewide average tax
| ||||||
18 | rate. The State Board
shall calculate a statewide weighted | ||||||
19 | average threshold by applying
the same methodology to the | ||||||
20 | totals of all districts' Corporate Personal
Property Tax | ||||||
21 | Replacement Fund allocations, equalized assessed valuations, | ||||||
22 | and
audited full-time equivalent district resident students | ||||||
23 | and multiplying by the
applicable statewide average tax rate. | ||||||
24 | The difference between the statewide
weighted average | ||||||
25 | threshold and the local revenue
factor, multiplied by the | ||||||
26 | number of full-time equivalent resident students,
shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | determine the amount of equalization funding that each district | ||||||
2 | is
eligible to receive. A percentage factor, as determined by | ||||||
3 | the State Board,
may be applied to the statewide threshold as a | ||||||
4 | method for allocating
equalization funding. A minimum | ||||||
5 | equalization grant of an amount per district
as determined by | ||||||
6 | the State Board shall be established for any community college
| ||||||
7 | district which qualifies for an equalization grant based upon | ||||||
8 | the preceding
criteria, but becomes ineligible for | ||||||
9 | equalization funding, or would have
received a grant of less | ||||||
10 | than the minimum equalization grant, due to threshold
| ||||||
11 | prorations applied to reduce equalization funding.
As of July | ||||||
12 | 1, 2013, a community college district eligible to receive an | ||||||
13 | equalization grant based upon the preceding criteria must | ||||||
14 | maintain a
minimum required combined in-district tuition and | ||||||
15 | universal fee rate per
semester credit hour equal to 70% of the | ||||||
16 | State-average combined rate, as
determined by the State Board, | ||||||
17 | or the total revenue received by the community college district | ||||||
18 | from combined in-district tuition and universal fees must be at | ||||||
19 | least 30% of the total revenue received by the community | ||||||
20 | college district, as determined by the State Board, for | ||||||
21 | equalization funding. As of July 1,
2004, a community college | ||||||
22 | district must maintain a minimum required
operating tax rate | ||||||
23 | equal to at least 95% of its maximum authorized tax
rate to | ||||||
24 | qualify for equalization funding. This 95% minimum tax rate
| ||||||
25 | requirement shall be based upon the maximum operating tax rate | ||||||
26 | as
limited by the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The State Board shall distribute such other grants as may | ||||||
2 | be
authorized or appropriated by the General Assembly.
| ||||||
3 | Each community college district entitled to State grants | ||||||
4 | under this
Section must submit a report of its enrollment to | ||||||
5 | the State Board not later
than 30 days following the end of | ||||||
6 | each semester, quarter, or term in a
format prescribed by the | ||||||
7 | State Board. These semester credit hours, or
equivalent, shall | ||||||
8 | be certified by each district on forms provided by the
State | ||||||
9 | Board. Each district's certified semester credit hours, or | ||||||
10 | equivalent,
are subject to audit pursuant to Section 3-22.1.
| ||||||
11 | The State Board shall certify, prepare, and submit monthly | ||||||
12 | vouchers to the State Comptroller
setting
forth an amount equal | ||||||
13 | to one-twelfth of the grants approved by the State Board for | ||||||
14 | base
operating grants and equalization grants. The State Board | ||||||
15 | shall prepare and
submit to the State Comptroller vouchers for | ||||||
16 | payments of other grants as
appropriated by the General | ||||||
17 | Assembly. If the amount appropriated for grants
is different | ||||||
18 | from the amount provided for such grants under this Act, the
| ||||||
19 | grants shall be proportionately reduced or increased | ||||||
20 | accordingly.
| ||||||
21 | For the purposes of this Section, "resident student" means | ||||||
22 | a student in a
community college district who maintains | ||||||
23 | residency in that district or
meets other residency definitions | ||||||
24 | established by the State Board, and who
was enrolled either in | ||||||
25 | one of the approved instructional program categories
in that | ||||||
26 | district, or in another community college district to which the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | resident's district is paying tuition under Section 6-2 or with | ||||||
2 | which the
resident's district has entered into a cooperative | ||||||
3 | agreement in lieu of such
tuition.
| ||||||
4 | For the purposes of this Section, a "full-time equivalent" | ||||||
5 | student is
equal to 30 semester credit hours.
| ||||||
6 | The Illinois Community College Board Contracts and Grants | ||||||
7 | Fund is hereby
created in the State Treasury. Items of income | ||||||
8 | to this fund shall include
any grants, awards, endowments, or | ||||||
9 | like proceeds, and where appropriate,
other funds made | ||||||
10 | available through contracts with governmental, public, and
| ||||||
11 | private agencies or persons. The General Assembly shall from | ||||||
12 | time to time
make appropriations payable from such fund for the | ||||||
13 | support, improvement,
and expenses of the State Board and | ||||||
14 | Illinois community college
districts.

1 | copy from
the standard record book, as required in Section 5 of | ||||||
2 | this Act, that lists
all personal property and any other | ||||||
3 | valuable thing received
on deposit or
purchased during the | ||||||
4 | preceding day, including the exact
time when
received or | ||||||
5 | purchased, and a description of the person or person by whom

6 | left in pledge, or from whom the same were purchased; provided, | ||||||
7 | that in
cities or towns having 25,000 or more inhabitants,
a | ||||||
8 | copy of
the such report shall at the same time also be | ||||||
9 | delivered to the
superintendent of police or the chief police | ||||||
10 | officer of such city or town.
Such report may be made by | ||||||
11 | computer printout or input memory device if the
format has been | ||||||
12 | approved by the local law enforcement agency.
| ||||||
13 | (b) In counties with more than 3,000,000 inhabitants, a | ||||||
14 | pawnbroker must
provide the daily report to the sheriff only if | ||||||
15 | the pawnshop is located in an
unincorporated area of the | ||||||
16 | county.
Pawnbrokers located in cities or towns in such counties | ||||||
17 | must deliver such
reports to the superintendent of police or | ||||||

seeks to
increase the bed | ||||||
20 | capacity of that center, it must obtain a certificate of need

6 | unless and until a different
licensure program for that type of | ||||||
7 | health care model is established by
legislation, except that a | ||||||
8 | postsurgical recovery care center meeting the following | ||||||
9 | requirements may apply within 3 years after August 25, 2009 | ||||||
10 | (the effective date of Public Act 96-669) for a Certificate of | ||||||

12 | (1) The postsurgical recovery care center shall apply | ||||||
13 | to the Health Facilities and Services Review Board for a | ||||||
14 | Certificate of Need permit to discontinue the postsurgical | ||||||
15 | recovery care center and to establish a hospital. | ||||||
16 | (2) If the postsurgical recovery care center obtains a | ||||||
17 | Certificate of Need permit to operate as a hospital, it | ||||||
18 | shall apply for licensure as a hospital under the Hospital | ||||||
19 | Licensing Act and shall meet all statutory and regulatory | ||||||
20 | requirements of a hospital. | ||||||
21 | (3) After obtaining licensure as a hospital, any | ||||||
22 | license as an ambulatory surgical treatment center and any | ||||||
23 | license as a postsurgical post-surgical recovery care | ||||||
24 | center shall be null and void. | ||||||
25 | (4) The former postsurgical recovery care center that | ||||||
26 | receives a hospital license must seek and use its best |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | efforts to maintain certification under Titles XVIII and | ||||||
2 | XIX of the federal Social Security Act. | ||||||
3 | The Department may issue a provisional license to any
| ||||||
4 | alternative health care model that does not substantially | ||||||
5 | comply with the
provisions of this Act and the rules adopted | ||||||
6 | under this Act if (i)
the Department finds that the alternative | ||||||
7 | health care model has undertaken
changes and corrections which | ||||||
8 | upon completion will render the alternative
health care model | ||||||
9 | in substantial compliance with this Act and rules and
(ii) the | ||||||
10 | health and safety of the patients of the alternative
health | ||||||
11 | care model will be protected during the period for which the | ||||||
12 | provisional
license is issued. The Department shall advise the | ||||||
13 | licensee of
the conditions under which the provisional license | ||||||
14 | is issued, including
the manner in which the alternative health | ||||||
15 | care model fails to comply with
the provisions of this Act and | ||||||
16 | rules, and the time within which the changes
and corrections | ||||||
17 | necessary for the alternative health care model to
| ||||||
18 | substantially comply with this Act and rules shall be | ||||||
19 | completed.
| ||||||
20 | (d) Alternative health care models shall seek | ||||||
21 | certification under Titles
XVIII and XIX of the federal Social | ||||||
22 | Security Act. In addition, alternative
health care models shall | ||||||
23 | provide charitable care consistent with that provided
by | ||||||
24 | comparable health care providers in the geographic area.
| ||||||
25 | (d-5) (Blank).
| ||||||
26 | (e) Alternative health care models shall, to the extent |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | possible,
link and integrate their services with nearby health | ||||||
2 | care facilities.
| ||||||
3 | (f) Each alternative health care model shall implement a | ||||||
4 | quality
assurance program with measurable benefits and at | ||||||
5 | reasonable cost.

9 | Stroke Ready Hospital designation when the Director, | ||||||
10 | or his or her designee, has determined that the | ||||||
11 | hospital no longer meets the Emergent Stroke Ready | ||||||
12 | Hospital criteria and an immediate and serious danger | ||||||
13 | to the public health, safety, and welfare exists. If | ||||||
14 | the Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital fails to eliminate | ||||||
15 | the violation immediately or within a fixed period of | ||||||
16 | time, not exceeding 10 days, as determined by the | ||||||
17 | Director, the Director may immediately revoke the | ||||||
18 | Emergent Stroke Ready Hospital designation. The | ||||||

| ||||||
13 | (a) Notice of all administrative actions taken under this | ||||||
14 | Act shall be
effected
by registered mail, certified mail, or | ||||||
15 | personal
service and shall set forth the particular reasons for | ||||||

provide the applicant or licensee with | ||||||
17 | an opportunity
to request a hearing. If a hearing request is | ||||||
18 | not received within 10 days
after receipt of the notice of | ||||||
19 | administrative action, the right
to a hearing is waived.
| ||||||
20 | (b) The procedure governing hearings authorized by this | ||||||
21 | Section shall be in
accordance with rules promulgated by the
| ||||||
22 | Department consistent with this Act. A hearing shall be | ||||||
23 | conducted by the
Director or by an individual designated in | ||||||

the Director as administrative law judge. A full and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | complete record shall be

and all other documents in the | ||||||
3 | nature of pleadings, written motions filed in

| ||||||
9 | such copy or copies.
| ||||||
10 | (c) The Director or administrative law judge shall, upon | ||||||
11 | his own motion or

12 | proceeding, issue
subpoenas requiring the attendance and | ||||||
13 | testimony of witnesses and subpoenas
duces tecum requiring the | ||||||
14 | production of books,
papers, records or memoranda. The fees of | ||||||
15 | witnesses for attendance and travel
shall be the same as the | ||||||
16 | fees of witnesses before
any circuit court of this State. Such | ||||||
17 | fees shall be paid when the witness is
excused from further | ||||||

the cost | ||||||
23 | of service of the subpoena or subpoena duces tecum and the fee | ||||||

5 | of the Director or
the application of any other party to the
| ||||||
6 | proceeding, may, in its discretion, compel the attendance of | ||||||
7 | witnesses, the
production of books, papers, records or | ||||||
8 | memoranda, and
the giving of testimony before the Director or | ||||||
9 | administrative law judge
conducting an
investigation or | ||||||
10 | holding a hearing authorized by this

11 | contempt, or otherwise, in the same manner as
production of | ||||||
12 | evidence may be compelled before the court.
| ||||||
13 | (e) The Director or administrative law judge, or any party | ||||||
14 | in a
hearing before the Department, may compel the attendance | ||||||

19 | his decision
within 60 days after the termination or waiving of | ||||||

Director
shall review the | ||||||
23 | record and findings of fact before
rendering a decision. A copy | ||||||
24 | of the findings of fact and decision of the
Director shall be | ||||||
25 | served upon the applicant or licensee in
person, by registered | ||||||
26 | mail or by certified mail in the same manner as the

the | ||||||
4 | 35-day period, petitions for review pursuant to Section 70 of | ||||||

informational materials available to | ||||||
24 | patients on admission to determine which
to translate into | ||||||
25 | languages other than English.
| ||||||
26 | (4) Consider providing its nonbilingual staff with |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | standardized picture and
phrase sheets for use in routine | ||||||
2 | communications with patients who have language
or | ||||||
3 | communication barriers.

21 | carrier offering the
product
or service must thoroughly | ||||||
22 | inform the subscriber of the product or service

8 | carrier offering the product or service
for at
least 24 | ||||||
9 | months immediately after the consent and verification were | ||||||
10 | obtained.
| ||||||
11 | (d) Verification or notification. Except in | ||||||
12 | subscriber-initiated
transactions with a
certificated | ||||||
13 | telecommunications carrier for which the telecommunications
| ||||||
14 | carrier has the
appropriate documentation, the | ||||||
15 | telecommunications carrier, after obtaining the
subscriber's
| ||||||
16 | authorization in the required manner, shall either verify the | ||||||

1 | marketing agent; and
| ||||||
2 | (iii) does not derive commissions or | ||||||
3 | compensation based

6 | state, and shall
obtain the subscriber's | ||||||
7 | acknowledgment of, the following disclosures:
| ||||||
8 | (i) the subscriber's name, address, and the | ||||||
9 | telephone

11 | telecommunications carrier;
| ||||||
12 | (ii) that the person speaking to the third | ||||||

17 | carrier and is agreeing to do so;
| ||||||
18 | (iv) that the subscriber understands that the | ||||||

22 | (v) the name and customer service telephone | ||||||
23 | number of

| ||||||
24 | (C) The telecommunications carrier shall retain, | ||||||
25 | electronically
or otherwise, proof of the verification | ||||||
26 | of sales for a minimum of 24
months.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) Notification. Written notification shall be | ||||||
2 | provided as follows:
| ||||||
3 | (A) the telecommunications carrier shall mail a | ||||||

| ||||||
25 | (e) Unauthorized charges.
| ||||||
26 | (1) Responsibilities of the billing telecommunications |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | carrier for
unauthorized
charges. If a subscriber's | ||||||
2 | telephone bill is charged for any product or
service | ||||||
3 | without
proper subscriber authorization and verification | ||||||
4 | or notification of
authorization in
compliance with this | ||||||
5 | Section, the telecommunications carrier that billed the
| ||||||
6 | subscriber,
on its knowledge or notification of any | ||||||
7 | unauthorized charge, shall promptly,
but not later
than 45 | ||||||
8 | days after the date of the knowledge or notification of an | ||||||
9 | unauthorized
charge:
| ||||||
10 | (A) notify the product or service provider to | ||||||
11 | immediately cease charging
the subscriber for the | ||||||
12 | unauthorized product or service;
| ||||||
13 | (B) remove the unauthorized charge from the | ||||||
14 | subscriber's bill; and
| ||||||
15 | (C) refund or credit to the subscriber all money | ||||||
16 | that the subscriber has
paid for any unauthorized | ||||||
17 | charge.
| ||||||
18 | (f) The Commission shall promulgate any rules necessary to | ||||||
19 | ensure that
subscribers are
not billed on the telephone bill | ||||||
20 | for products or services in a manner not in
compliance with | ||||||
21 | this
Section. The rules promulgated under this Section shall | ||||||
22 | comport with the
rules, if any,
promulgated by the Attorney | ||||||
23 | General pursuant to the Consumer Fraud and
Deceptive Business
| ||||||
24 | Practices Act and with any rules promulgated by the Federal | ||||||
25 | Communications
Commission or
Federal Trade Commission.
| ||||||
26 | (g) Complaints may be filed with the Commission under this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section by a
subscriber
who has been billed on the telephone | ||||||
2 | bill for products or services not in
compliance with this
| ||||||
3 | Section or by the Commission on its own motion. Upon filing of | ||||||
4 | the complaint,
the parties
may mutually agree to submit the | ||||||
5 | complaint to the Commission's established
mediation
process. | ||||||
6 | Remedies in the mediation process may include, but shall not be
| ||||||
7 | limited to, the
remedies set forth in paragraphs (1) through | ||||||
8 | (4) of this subsection. In its
discretion, the
Commission may | ||||||
9 | deny the availability of the mediation process and submit the
| ||||||
10 | complaint to
hearings. If the complaint is not submitted to | ||||||
11 | mediation or if no agreement is
reached during
the mediation | ||||||
12 | process, hearings shall be held on the complaint pursuant to
| ||||||
13 | Article X 10 of this
Act. If after notice and hearing, the | ||||||
14 | Commission finds that a
telecommunications carrier has
| ||||||
15 | violated this Section or a rule promulgated under this Section, | ||||||
16 | the Commission
may in its
discretion order any one or more of | ||||||
17 | the following:
| ||||||
18 | (1) Require the violating telecommunications carrier | ||||||
19 | to pay a fine of up
to $1,000
into the Public Utility Fund | ||||||
20 | for each repeated and intentional violation of
this | ||||||
21 | Section.
| ||||||
22 | (2) Require the violating carrier to refund or cancel | ||||||
23 | all charges for
products
or
services not billed in | ||||||
24 | compliance with this Section.
| ||||||
25 | (3) Issue a cease and desist order.
| ||||||
26 | (4) For a pattern of violation of this Section or for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | intentionally
violating a
cease
and desist order, revoke | ||||||
2 | the violating telecommunications carrier's certificate
of | ||||||
3 | service
authority.

13 | State-issued authorization to offer or provide cable or video | ||||||
14 | service under this Section, except as provided for in item (2) | ||||||
15 | of this subsection (a). All cable or video providers offering | ||||||
16 | or providing service in this State shall have authorization | ||||||
17 | pursuant to either (i) the Cable and Video Competition Law of | ||||||
18 | 2007 (220 ILCS 5/21-100 et seq.); (ii) Section 11-42-11 of the | ||||||

23 | use of the public rights-of-way to install or construct | ||||||
24 | facilities to provide cable service or video service, at its | ||||||
25 | sole discretion. No unit of local government shall be liable |

2 | State-issued authorization. | ||||||
3 | (b) The application to the Commission for State-issued | ||||||
4 | authorization shall contain a completed affidavit submitted by | ||||||
5 | the applicant and signed by an officer or general partner of | ||||||
6 | the applicant affirming all of the following: | ||||||

19 | terms of either (i) exchanges, as that term is defined in | ||||||
20 | Section 13-206 of this Act; (ii) a collection of United | ||||||
21 | States Census Bureau Block numbers (13 digit); (iii) if the | ||||||
22 | area is smaller than the areas identified in either (i) or | ||||||

24 | meeting or exceeding national map accuracy standards; or | ||||||
25 | (iv) local unit of government. The description shall | ||||||
26 | include the number of low-income households within the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | service area or footprint. If an applicant is a an | ||||||
2 | incumbent cable operator, the incumbent cable operator and | ||||||
3 | any successor-in-interest shall be obligated to provide | ||||||
4 | access to cable services or video services within any local | ||||||
5 | units of government at the same levels required by the | ||||||
6 | local franchising authorities for the local unit of | ||||||
7 | government on June 30, 2007
(the effective date of Public | ||||||
8 | Act 95-9),
and its application shall provide a description | ||||||
9 | of an area no smaller than the service areas contained in | ||||||
10 | its franchise or franchises
within the jurisdiction of the | ||||||
11 | local unit of government in which it seeks to offer cable | ||||||

17 | the application and the services to be offered pursuant to | ||||||
18 | the application, the applicant's legal name, and any name | ||||||
19 | or names under which the applicant does or will provide | ||||||
20 | cable services or video services in this State. | ||||||
21 | (6) A certification that the applicant has | ||||||
22 | concurrently delivered a copy of the application to all | ||||||
23 | local units of government that include all or any part of | ||||||

25 | (b)
within such local unit of government's jurisdictional | ||||||
26 | boundaries. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (7) The expected date that cable service or video | ||||||
2 | service will be initially offered in the area identified in | ||||||
3 | item (4) of this subsection (b). In the event that a holder | ||||||
4 | does not offer cable services or video services within 3
| ||||||
5 | months after the expected date, it shall amend its | ||||||
6 | application and update the expected date service will be | ||||||
7 | offered and explain the delay in offering cable services or | ||||||
8 | video services. | ||||||
9 | (8) For any entity that received State-issued | ||||||
10 | authorization prior to this amendatory Act of the 98th | ||||||
11 | General Assembly as a cable operator and that intends to | ||||||
12 | proceed as a cable operator under this Article, the entity | ||||||
13 | shall file a written affidavit with the Commission and | ||||||
14 | shall serve a copy of the affidavit with any local units of | ||||||
15 | government affected by the authorization within 30 days | ||||||
16 | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th | ||||||

18 | cable service under the State-issued authorization. | ||||||
19 | The application shall include adequate assurance that the | ||||||
20 | applicant possesses the financial, managerial, legal, and | ||||||
21 | technical qualifications necessary to construct and operate | ||||||
22 | the proposed system, to promptly repair any damage to the | ||||||
23 | public right-of-way caused by the applicant, and to pay the | ||||||
24 | cost of removal of its facilities. To accomplish these | ||||||
25 | requirements, the applicant may, at the time the applicant | ||||||
26 | seeks to use the public rights-of-way in that jurisdiction, be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | required by the State of Illinois or
later be required by the | ||||||
2 | local unit of government, or both, to post a bond, produce a | ||||||
3 | certificate of insurance, or otherwise demonstrate its | ||||||
4 | financial responsibility. | ||||||
5 | The application shall include the applicant's general | ||||||
6 | standards related to customer service required by Section | ||||||
7 | 22-501 of this Act, which shall include, but not be limited to, | ||||||
8 | installation, disconnection, service and repair obligations; | ||||||
9 | appointment hours; employee ID requirements; customer service | ||||||
10 | telephone numbers and hours; procedures for billing, charges, | ||||||
11 | deposits, refunds, and credits; procedures for termination of | ||||||
12 | service; notice of deletion of programming service and changes | ||||||
13 | related to transmission of programming or changes or increases | ||||||
14 | in rates; use and availability of parental control or lock-out | ||||||
15 | devices; complaint procedures and procedures for bill dispute | ||||||
16 | resolution and a description of the rights and remedies | ||||||

18 | their customer service standards; and special services for | ||||||
19 | customers with visual, hearing, or mobility disabilities. | ||||||
20 | (c)(1) The applicant may designate information that it | ||||||
21 | submits in its application or subsequent reports as | ||||||
22 | confidential or proprietary, provided that the applicant | ||||||
23 | states the reasons the confidential designation is necessary. | ||||||
24 | The Commission shall provide adequate protection for such | ||||||
25 | information pursuant to Section 4-404 of this Act. If the | ||||||
26 | Commission, a local unit of government, or any other party |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | seeks public disclosure of information designated as | ||||||
2 | confidential, the Commission shall consider the confidential | ||||||
3 | designation in a proceeding under the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
4 | Procedure
Act, and the burden of proof to demonstrate that the | ||||||
5 | designated information is confidential shall be upon the | ||||||
6 | applicant. Designated information shall remain confidential | ||||||
7 | pending the Commission's determination of whether the | ||||||
8 | information is entitled to confidential treatment. Information | ||||||
9 | designated as confidential shall be provided to local units of | ||||||
10 | government for purposes of assessing compliance with this | ||||||
11 | Article as permitted under a Protective Order issued by the | ||||||
12 | Commission pursuant to the Commission's rules and to the | ||||||
13 | Attorney General pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Attorney | ||||||
14 | General Act
(15 ILCS 205/6.5). Information designated as | ||||||
15 | confidential under this Section or determined to be | ||||||
16 | confidential upon Commission review shall only be disclosed | ||||||
17 | pursuant to a valid and enforceable subpoena or court order or | ||||||
18 | as required by the Freedom of Information Act. Nothing herein | ||||||
19 | shall delay the application approval timeframes set forth in | ||||||
20 | this Article. | ||||||
21 | (2) Information regarding the location of video services | ||||||
22 | that have been or are being offered to the public and aggregate | ||||||
23 | information included in the reports required by this Article | ||||||
24 | shall not be designated or treated as confidential. | ||||||
25 | (d)(1) The Commission shall post all applications it | ||||||
26 | receives under this Article on its web site within 5
business |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | days. | ||||||
2 | (2) The Commission shall notify an applicant for a cable | ||||||
3 | service or video service authorization whether the applicant's | ||||||
4 | application and affidavit are complete on or before the 15th | ||||||
5 | business day after the applicant submits the application. If | ||||||
6 | the application and affidavit are not complete, the Commission | ||||||
7 | shall state in its notice all of the reasons the application or | ||||||
8 | affidavit are incomplete, and the applicant shall resubmit a | ||||||
9 | complete application. The Commission shall have 30 days after | ||||||
10 | submission by the applicant of a complete application and | ||||||
11 | affidavit to issue the service authorization. If the Commission | ||||||
12 | does not notify the applicant regarding the completeness of the | ||||||
13 | application and affidavit or issue the service authorization | ||||||
14 | within the time periods required under this subsection, the | ||||||
15 | application and affidavit shall be considered complete and the | ||||||
16 | service authorization issued upon the expiration of the 30th | ||||||
17 | day. | ||||||
18 | (e) Any authorization issued by the Commission will expire | ||||||
19 | on December 31, 2015 and shall contain or include all of the | ||||||
20 | following: | ||||||
21 | (1) A grant of authority, including an authorization | ||||||
22 | issued prior to this amendatory Act of the 98th General | ||||||
23 | Assembly, to provide cable service or video service in the | ||||||
24 | service area footprint as requested in the application, | ||||||
25 | subject to the provisions of this Article in existence on | ||||||
26 | the date the grant of authority was issued, and any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | modifications to this Article enacted at any time prior to | ||||||
2 | the date in Section 21-1601 of this Act, and to the laws of | ||||||
3 | the State and the ordinances, rules, and regulations of the | ||||||
4 | local units of government. | ||||||
5 | (2) A grant of authority to use, occupy, and construct | ||||||
6 | facilities in the public rights-of-way for the delivery of | ||||||
7 | cable service or video service in the service area | ||||||
8 | footprint, subject to the laws, ordinances, rules, or | ||||||
9 | regulations of this State and local units of governments. | ||||||
10 | (3) A statement that the grant of authority is subject | ||||||
11 | to lawful operation of the cable service or video service | ||||||
12 | by the applicant, its affiliated entities, or its | ||||||
13 | successors-in-interest. | ||||||
14 | (4) The Commission shall notify a local unit of | ||||||
15 | government within 3
business days of the grant of any | ||||||
16 | authorization within a service area footprint if that | ||||||
17 | authorization includes any part of the local unit of | ||||||
18 | government's jurisdictional boundaries and state whether | ||||||
19 | the holder will be providing video service or cable service | ||||||
20 | under the authorization. | ||||||
21 | (f) The authorization issued pursuant to this Section
by | ||||||
22 | the Commission may be transferred to any successor-in-interest | ||||||
23 | to the applicant to which it is initially granted without | ||||||
24 | further Commission action if the successor-in-interest (i) | ||||||
25 | submits an application and the information required by | ||||||
26 | subsection (b) of this Section
for the successor-in-interest |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and (ii) is not in violation of this Article or of any federal, | ||||||
2 | State, or local law, ordinance, rule, or regulation. A | ||||||
3 | successor-in-interest shall file its application and notice of | ||||||
4 | transfer with the Commission and the relevant local units of | ||||||
5 | government no less than 15
business days prior to the | ||||||
6 | completion of the transfer. The Commission is not required or | ||||||
7 | authorized to act upon the notice of transfer; however, the | ||||||
8 | transfer is not effective until the Commission approves the | ||||||
9 | successor-in-interest's application. A local unit of | ||||||
10 | government or the Attorney General may seek to bar a transfer | ||||||
11 | of ownership by filing suit in a court of competent | ||||||
12 | jurisdiction predicated on the existence of a material and | ||||||
13 | continuing breach of this Article by the holder, a pattern of | ||||||
14 | noncompliance with customer service standards by the potential | ||||||
15 | successor-in-interest, or the insolvency of the potential | ||||||
16 | successor-in-interest. If a transfer is made when there are | ||||||
17 | violations of this Article or of any federal, State, or local | ||||||
18 | law, ordinance, rule, or regulation, the successor-in-interest | ||||||
19 | shall be subject to 3
times the penalties provided for in this | ||||||
20 | Article. | ||||||
21 | (g) The authorization issued pursuant to Section 21-401 of | ||||||
22 | this Article by the Commission may be terminated, or its cable | ||||||
23 | service or video service area footprint may be modified, by the | ||||||
24 | cable service provider or video service provider by submitting | ||||||
25 | notice to the Commission and to the relevant local unit of | ||||||
26 | government containing a description of the change on the same |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | terms as the initial description pursuant to item (4) of | ||||||
2 | subsection (b) of this Section. The Commission is not required | ||||||
3 | or authorized to act upon that notice. It shall be a violation | ||||||
4 | of this Article for a holder to discriminate against potential | ||||||
5 | residential subscribers because of the race or income of the | ||||||
6 | residents in the local area in which the group resides by | ||||||
7 | terminating or modifying its cable service or video service | ||||||
8 | area footprint. It shall be a violation of this Article for a | ||||||
9 | holder to terminate or modify its cable service or video | ||||||
10 | service area footprint if it leaves an area with no cable | ||||||
11 | service or video service from any provider. | ||||||
12 | (h) The Commission's authority to administer this Article | ||||||
13 | is limited to the powers and duties explicitly provided under | ||||||
14 | this Article. Its authority under this Article does not include | ||||||
15 | or limit the powers and duties that the Commission has under | ||||||
16 | the other Articles of this Act, the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
17 | Procedure Act,
or any other law or regulation to conduct | ||||||
18 | proceedings, other than as provided in subsection (c), or has | ||||||
19 | to promulgate rules or regulations. The Commission shall not | ||||||
20 | have the authority to limit or expand the obligations and | ||||||
21 | requirements provided in this Section or to regulate or control | ||||||
22 | a person or entity to the extent that person or entity is | ||||||
23 | providing cable service or video service, except as provided in | ||||||
24 | this Article.

license. Such | ||||||
14 | suspension will end upon a finding by a court that the licensee
| ||||||
15 | is no longer subject to involuntary admission or judicial | ||||||
16 | admission and issues
an order so finding and discharging the | ||||||
17 | patient, and upon the recommendation of
the Board to the | ||||||
18 | Secretary that the licensee be allowed to resume professional
| ||||||
19 | practice.
| ||||||
20 | (4) The Department may refuse to issue or renew or may | ||||||
21 | suspend the license of a
person who (i) fails to file a return, | ||||||
22 | pay the tax, penalty, or interest shown in a
filed return, or | ||||||
23 | pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, or interest, as
| ||||||
24 | required by any tax Act administered by the Department of | ||||||
25 | Revenue,

referral from the Department | ||||||
2 | of Healthcare and Family Services.
| ||||||
3 | (5) In enforcing this Section, the Board upon a showing of | ||||||
4 | a possible
violation may compel a person licensed to practice | ||||||
5 | under this Act, or
who has applied for licensure or | ||||||
6 | certification pursuant to this Act, to submit
to a mental or | ||||||
7 | physical examination, or both, as required by and at the | ||||||
8 | expense
of the Department. The examining physicians
shall be | ||||||
9 | those specifically designated by the Board.
The Board or the | ||||||
10 | Department may order the examining physician
to present | ||||||
11 | testimony concerning this mental or physical
examination
of the | ||||||
12 | licensee or applicant. No information shall be excluded by | ||||||
13 | reason of
any common law or statutory privilege relating to | ||||||
14 | communications between the
licensee or applicant and the | ||||||
15 | examining physician.
The person to be examined may have, at his | ||||||
16 | or her own expense, another
physician of his or her choice | ||||||
17 | present during all
aspects of the examination. Failure of any | ||||||
18 | person to submit to a mental or
physical examination, when | ||||||
19 | directed, shall be grounds for suspension of a
license until | ||||||
20 | the person submits to the examination if the Board finds,
after | ||||||
21 | notice and hearing, that the refusal to submit to the | ||||||
22 | examination was
without reasonable cause.
| ||||||
23 | If the Board finds a person unable to practice because of | ||||||
24 | the reasons
set forth in this Section, the Board may require | ||||||
25 | that person to submit to
care, counseling, or treatment by | ||||||
26 | physicians
approved
or designated by the Board, as a condition, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | term, or restriction for continued,
reinstated, or
renewed | ||||||
2 | licensure to practice; or, in lieu of care, counseling or | ||||||
3 | treatment,
the
Board may recommend to the Department to file a | ||||||
4 | complaint to immediately
suspend, revoke or otherwise | ||||||
5 | discipline the license of the person.
Any person whose
license | ||||||
6 | was granted, continued, reinstated, renewed, disciplined or | ||||||
7 | supervised
subject to such terms, conditions or restrictions, | ||||||
8 | and who fails to comply with
such terms, conditions, or | ||||||
9 | restrictions, shall be referred to the Secretary for
a
| ||||||
10 | determination as to whether the person shall have his or her | ||||||
11 | license
suspended immediately, pending a hearing by the Board.
| ||||||
12 | In instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a | ||||||
13 | person's license
under this Section, a hearing on that person's | ||||||
14 | license must be convened by
the Board within 30 days after the | ||||||
15 | suspension and completed without appreciable
delay.
The Board | ||||||
16 | shall have the authority to review the subject person's record | ||||||
17 | of
treatment and counseling regarding the impairment, to the | ||||||
18 | extent permitted by
applicable federal statutes and | ||||||
19 | regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of
medical | ||||||
20 | records.
| ||||||
21 | A person licensed under this Act and affected under this | ||||||
22 | Section shall
be
afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the | ||||||
23 | Board that he or she can resume
practice in compliance with | ||||||
24 | acceptable and prevailing standards under the
provisions of his | ||||||
25 | or her license.

21 | examined may have, at his or her own expense, another physician | ||||||
22 | of his or her choice present during all aspects of this | ||||||
23 | examination. The examination shall be performed by a physician | ||||||
24 | licensed to practice medicine in all its branches. Failure of | ||||||
25 | an individual to submit to a mental or physical examination, | ||||||

| |||||||
1 | hearing. | ||||||
2 | A person holding a license under this Act or who has | ||||||
3 | applied for a license under this Act who, because of a physical | ||||||

6 | is unable to practice the profession with reasonable judgment, | ||||||
7 | skill, or safety, may be required by the Department to submit | ||||||
8 | to care, counseling, or treatment by physicians approved or | ||||||
9 | designated by the Department as a condition, term, or | ||||||
10 | restriction for continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to | ||||||
11 | practice. Submission to care, counseling, or treatment as | ||||||
12 | required by the Department shall not be considered discipline | ||||||
13 | of a license. If the licensee refuses to enter into a care, | ||||||
14 | counseling, or treatment agreement or fails to abide by the | ||||||
15 | terms of the agreement, then the Department may file a | ||||||
16 | complaint to revoke, suspend, or otherwise discipline the | ||||||
17 | license of the individual. The Secretary may order the license | ||||||
18 | suspended immediately, pending a hearing by the Department. | ||||||
19 | Fines shall not be assessed in disciplinary actions involving | ||||||
20 | physical or mental illness or impairment. | ||||||
21 | In instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a | ||||||
22 | person's license under this Section, a hearing on that person's | ||||||
23 | license must be convened by the Department within 15 days after | ||||||
24 | the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The | ||||||
25 | Department shall have the authority to review the subject | ||||||
26 | individual's record of treatment and counseling regarding the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | impairment to the extent permitted by applicable federal | ||||||
2 | statutes and regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of
| ||||||
3 | medical records. | ||||||
4 | An individual licensed under this Act and affected under | ||||||
5 | this Section shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to | ||||||
6 | the Department that he or she can resume practice in compliance | ||||||
7 | with acceptable and prevailing standards under the provisions | ||||||
8 | of his or her license.

8 | Services has previously determined a licensee or a potential | ||||||
9 | licensee is more than 30 days delinquent in the payment of | ||||||
10 | child support and has subsequently certified the delinquency to | ||||||
11 | the Department, the Department may refuse to issue or renew or | ||||||
12 | may revoke or suspend that person's license or may take other | ||||||
13 | disciplinary action against that person based solely upon the | ||||||
14 | certification of delinquency made by the Department of | ||||||
15 | Healthcare and Family Services in accordance with item (5) of | ||||||
16 | subsection (a) (g) of Section 2105-15 1205-15 of the Department | ||||||

19 | (i) A person not licensed under this Code who is an owner | ||||||
20 | of a funeral establishment or funeral business shall not aid, | ||||||
21 | abet, assist, procure, advise, employ, or contract with any | ||||||
22 | unlicensed person to offer funeral services or aid, abet, | ||||||
23 | assist, or direct any licensed person contrary to or in | ||||||
24 | violation of any rules or provisions of this Code. A person | ||||||

26 | the purposes of disciplinary action under this Section and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be subject to cease and desist orders as provided in this | ||||||
2 | Code, the imposition of a fine up to $10,000 for each violation | ||||||

4 | (j) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is | ||||||
5 | subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission as | ||||||
6 | provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities | ||||||
7 | Code, as amended, operates as an automatic suspension. The | ||||||
8 | suspension may end only upon a finding by a court that the | ||||||
9 | licensee is no longer subject to the involuntary admission or | ||||||
10 | judicial admission and issues an order so finding and | ||||||
11 | discharging the licensee, and upon the recommendation of the | ||||||
12 | Board to the Secretary that the licensee be allowed to resume | ||||||
13 | his or her practice. | ||||||
14 | (k) In enforcing this Code, the Department, upon a showing | ||||||
15 | of a possible violation, may compel an individual licensed to | ||||||
16 | practice under this Code, or who has applied for licensure | ||||||
17 | under this Code, to submit to a mental or physical examination, | ||||||
18 | or both, as required by and at the expense of the Department. | ||||||
19 | The Department may order the examining physician to present | ||||||
20 | testimony concerning the mental or physical examination of the | ||||||
21 | licensee or applicant. No information shall be excluded by | ||||||
22 | reason of any common law or statutory privilege relating to | ||||||
23 | communications between the licensee or applicant and the | ||||||
24 | examining physician. The examining physician shall be | ||||||
25 | specifically designated by the Department. The individual to be | ||||||
26 | examined may have, at his or her own expense, another physician |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of his or her choice present during all aspects of this | ||||||
2 | examination. The examination shall be performed by a physician | ||||||
3 | licensed to practice medicine in all its branches. Failure of | ||||||
4 | an individual to submit to a mental or physical examination, | ||||||
5 | when directed, shall result in an automatic suspension without | ||||||
6 | hearing. | ||||||
7 | A person holding a license under this Code or who has | ||||||
8 | applied for a license under this Code who, because of a | ||||||
9 | physical or mental illness or disability, including, but not | ||||||
10 | limited to, deterioration through the aging process or loss of | ||||||
11 | motor skill, is unable to practice the profession with | ||||||
12 | reasonable judgment, skill, or safety, may be required by the | ||||||
13 | Department to submit to care, counseling, or treatment by | ||||||
14 | physicians approved or designated by the Department as a | ||||||
15 | condition, term, or restriction for continued, reinstated, or | ||||||
16 | renewed licensure to practice. Submission to care, counseling, | ||||||
17 | or treatment as required by the Department shall not be | ||||||
18 | considered discipline of a license. If the licensee refuses to | ||||||
19 | enter into a care, counseling, or treatment agreement or fails | ||||||
20 | to abide by the terms of the agreement, the Department may file | ||||||
21 | a complaint to revoke, suspend, or otherwise discipline the | ||||||
22 | license of the individual. The Secretary may order the license | ||||||
23 | suspended immediately, pending a hearing by the Department. | ||||||
24 | Fines shall not be assessed in disciplinary actions involving | ||||||
25 | physical or mental illness or impairment. | ||||||
26 | In instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | person's license under this Section, a hearing on that person's | ||||||
2 | license must be convened by the Department within 15 days after | ||||||
3 | the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The | ||||||
4 | Department shall have the authority to review the subject | ||||||
5 | individual's record of treatment and counseling regarding the | ||||||
6 | impairment to the extent permitted by applicable federal | ||||||
7 | statutes and regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of | ||||||
8 | medical records. | ||||||
9 | An individual licensed under this Code and affected under | ||||||
10 | this Section shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to | ||||||
11 | the Department that he or she can resume practice in compliance | ||||||
12 | with acceptable and prevailing standards under the provisions | ||||||
13 | of his or her license. | ||||||

2 | this Act of any person who is convicted of prostitution, rape, | ||||||
3 | sexual misconduct, or any crime that subjects the licensee to | ||||||
4 | compliance with the requirements of the Sex Offender | ||||||
5 | Registration Act and any such conviction shall operate as a | ||||||
6 | permanent bar in the State of Illinois to practice as a massage | ||||||
7 | therapist. | ||||||
8 | (d) The Department may refuse to issue or may suspend the | ||||||
9 | license of any
person who
fails to file a tax return, to pay | ||||||
10 | the tax, penalty, or interest shown in a
filed
tax return, or | ||||||
11 | to pay any final
assessment of tax, penalty, or interest, as | ||||||
12 | required by any tax Act
administered by the Illinois
Department | ||||||
13 | of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of the tax Act | ||||||
14 | are
satisfied in accordance with subsection (g) of Section | ||||||
15 | 2105-15 of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
| ||||||
16 | (e) The Department shall deny a license or renewal | ||||||
17 | authorized by this Act to a person who has defaulted on an | ||||||
18 | educational loan or scholarship provided or guaranteed by the | ||||||
19 | Illinois Student Assistance Commission or any governmental | ||||||
20 | agency of this State in accordance with item (5) of subsection | ||||||
21 | (a) (g) of Section 2105-15 of the Civil Administrative Code of | ||||||
22 | Illinois. | ||||||
23 | (f) In cases where the Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
24 | Services has previously determined that a licensee or a | ||||||
25 | potential licensee is more than 30 days delinquent in the | ||||||
26 | payment of child support and has subsequently certified the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | delinquency to the Department, the Department may refuse to | ||||||
2 | issue or renew or may revoke or suspend that person's license | ||||||
3 | or may take other disciplinary action against that person based | ||||||
4 | solely upon the certification of delinquency made by the | ||||||
5 | Department of Healthcare and Family Services in accordance with | ||||||
6 | item (5) of subsection (a) (g) of Section 2105-15 of the Civil | ||||||
7 | Administrative Code of Illinois. | ||||||
8 | (g) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is
| ||||||
9 | subject
to involuntary admission or judicial admission, as | ||||||
10 | provided in the Mental
Health and
Developmental Disabilities | ||||||
11 | Code, operates as an automatic suspension. The
suspension
will | ||||||
12 | end only upon a finding by a court that the patient is no | ||||||
13 | longer
subject to
involuntary admission or judicial admission | ||||||
14 | and the issuance of a court
order so finding
and discharging | ||||||
15 | the patient.
| ||||||
16 | (h) In enforcing this Act, the Department or Board, upon a | ||||||
17 | showing of a
possible violation, may compel an individual | ||||||
18 | licensed to practice under this
Act, or who
has applied for | ||||||
19 | licensure under this Act, to submit to a mental or physical
| ||||||
20 | examination, or
both, as required by and at the expense of the | ||||||
21 | Department. The Department or
Board may
order the examining | ||||||
22 | physician to present testimony concerning the mental or
| ||||||
23 | physical
examination of the licensee or applicant. No | ||||||
24 | information shall be excluded by
reason of
any common law or | ||||||
25 | statutory privilege relating to communications between the
| ||||||
26 | licensee
or applicant and the examining physician. The |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | examining physicians shall be
specifically
designated by the | ||||||
2 | Board or Department. The individual to be examined may have,
at | ||||||
3 | his
or her own expense, another physician of his or her choice | ||||||
4 | present during all aspects of
this examination. The examination | ||||||
5 | shall be performed by a physician licensed
to practice
medicine | ||||||
6 | in all its branches. Failure of an individual to submit to a | ||||||
7 | mental
or physical
examination, when directed, shall result in | ||||||
8 | an automatic suspension without hearing.
| ||||||
9 | A person holding a license under this Act or who has | ||||||
10 | applied for a license under this Act who, because of a physical | ||||||
11 | or mental illness or disability, including, but not limited to, | ||||||
12 | deterioration through the aging process or loss of motor skill, | ||||||
13 | is unable to practice the profession with reasonable judgment, | ||||||
14 | skill, or safety, may be required by the Department to submit | ||||||
15 | to care, counseling, or treatment by physicians approved or | ||||||
16 | designated by the Department as a condition, term, or | ||||||
17 | restriction for continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to | ||||||
18 | practice. Submission to care, counseling, or treatment as | ||||||
19 | required by the Department shall not be considered discipline | ||||||
20 | of a license. If the licensee refuses to enter into a care, | ||||||
21 | counseling, or treatment agreement or fails to abide by the | ||||||
22 | terms of the agreement, the Department may file a complaint to | ||||||
23 | revoke, suspend, or otherwise discipline the license of the | ||||||
24 | individual. The Secretary may order the license suspended | ||||||
25 | immediately, pending a hearing by the Department. Fines shall | ||||||
26 | not be assessed in disciplinary actions involving physical or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | mental illness or impairment.
| ||||||
2 | In instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a | ||||||
3 | person's license
under
this Section, a hearing on that person's | ||||||
4 | license must be convened by the
Department
within 15 days after | ||||||
5 | the suspension and completed without appreciable delay.
The
| ||||||
6 | Department and Board shall have the authority to review the | ||||||
7 | subject
individual's record
of treatment and counseling | ||||||
8 | regarding the impairment to the extent permitted by
applicable | ||||||
9 | federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the | ||||||
10 | confidentiality of
medical
records.
| ||||||
11 | An individual licensed under this Act and affected under | ||||||
12 | this Section shall
be
afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to | ||||||
13 | the Department or Board that he or
she can
resume practice in | ||||||
14 | compliance with acceptable and prevailing standards under
the
| ||||||
15 | provisions of his or her license.

| ||||||
17 | Section 415. The Nurse Practice Act is amended by changing | ||||||
18 | Section 65-35 as follows:
| ||||||
19 | (225 ILCS 65/65-35)
(was 225 ILCS 65/15-15)
| ||||||
20 | (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2018)
| ||||||
21 | Sec. 65-35. Written collaborative
agreements. | ||||||
22 | (a) A written collaborative agreement is required for all | ||||||
23 | advanced practice nurses engaged in clinical practice, except | ||||||
24 | for advanced practice nurses who are authorized to practice in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a hospital or ambulatory surgical treatment center. | ||||||
2 | (a-5) If an advanced practice nurse engages in clinical | ||||||
3 | practice outside of a hospital or ambulatory surgical treatment | ||||||
4 | center in which he or she is authorized to practice, the | ||||||
5 | advanced practice nurse must have a written collaborative | ||||||
6 | agreement.
| ||||||
7 | (b) A written collaborative
agreement shall describe the | ||||||
8 | working relationship of the
advanced practice nurse with the | ||||||
9 | collaborating
physician or podiatric physician and shall | ||||||
10 | authorize the categories of
care, treatment, or procedures to | ||||||
11 | be performed by the advanced
practice nurse. A collaborative | ||||||
12 | agreement with a dentist must be in accordance with subsection | ||||||
13 | (c-10) of this Section. Collaboration does not require an
| ||||||
14 | employment relationship between the collaborating physician
| ||||||
15 | and advanced practice nurse. Collaboration means
the | ||||||
16 | relationship under
which an advanced practice nurse works with | ||||||
17 | a collaborating
physician or podiatric physician in an active | ||||||
18 | clinical practice to deliver health care services in
accordance | ||||||
19 | with
(i) the advanced practice nurse's training, education,
and | ||||||
20 | experience and (ii) collaboration and consultation as | ||||||
21 | documented in a
jointly developed written collaborative
| ||||||
22 | agreement.
| ||||||
23 | The agreement shall promote the
exercise of professional | ||||||
24 | judgment by the advanced practice
nurse commensurate with his | ||||||
25 | or her education and
experience. The services to be provided by | ||||||
26 | the advanced
practice nurse shall be services that the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | collaborating physician or podiatric physician is authorized | ||||||
2 | to and generally provides or may provide in his or her clinical | ||||||
3 | medical or podiatric practice, except as set forth in | ||||||
4 | subsection subsections (b-5) or (c-5) of this Section.
The | ||||||
5 | agreement need not describe the exact steps that an advanced | ||||||
6 | practice
nurse must take with respect to each specific | ||||||
7 | condition, disease, or symptom
but must specify
which | ||||||
8 | authorized procedures require the presence of the | ||||||
9 | collaborating physician or podiatric physician as
the | ||||||
10 | procedures are being performed. The collaborative
relationship | ||||||
11 | under an agreement shall not be
construed to require the | ||||||
12 | personal presence of a physician or podiatric physician at the | ||||||
13 | place where services are rendered.
Methods of communication | ||||||
14 | shall
be available for consultation with the collaborating
| ||||||
15 | physician or podiatric physician in person or by | ||||||
16 | telecommunications in accordance with
established written | ||||||
17 | guidelines as set forth in the written
agreement.
| ||||||
18 | (b-5) Absent an employment relationship, a written | ||||||
19 | collaborative agreement may not (1) restrict the categories of | ||||||
20 | patients of an advanced practice nurse within the scope of the | ||||||
21 | advanced practice nurses training and experience, (2) limit | ||||||
22 | third party payors or government health programs, such as the | ||||||
23 | medical assistance program or Medicare with which the advanced | ||||||
24 | practice nurse contracts, or (3) limit the geographic area or | ||||||
25 | practice location of the advanced practice nurse in this State. | ||||||
26 | (c) Collaboration and consultation under all collaboration |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | agreements
shall be adequate if a
collaborating physician or | ||||||
2 | podiatric physician does each of the following:
| ||||||
3 | (1) Participates in the joint formulation and joint | ||||||
4 | approval of orders or
guidelines with the advanced practice | ||||||
5 | nurse and he or she periodically reviews such orders and | ||||||
6 | the
services provided patients under such orders in | ||||||
7 | accordance with accepted
standards of medical practice or | ||||||
8 | podiatric practice and advanced practice nursing practice.
| ||||||
9 | (2) Provides collaboration and consultation with the | ||||||
10 | advanced practice nurse at least once a month. In the case | ||||||
11 | of anesthesia services provided by a certified registered | ||||||
12 | nurse anesthetist, an anesthesiologist, a physician, a | ||||||
13 | dentist, or a podiatric physician must participate through | ||||||
14 | discussion of and agreement with the anesthesia plan and | ||||||
15 | remain physically present and available on the premises | ||||||
16 | during the delivery of anesthesia services for diagnosis, | ||||||
17 | consultation, and treatment of emergency medical | ||||||
18 | conditions.
| ||||||
19 | (3) Is available through telecommunications for | ||||||
20 | consultation on medical
problems, complications, or | ||||||
21 | emergencies or patient referral. In the case of anesthesia | ||||||
22 | services provided by a certified registered nurse | ||||||
23 | anesthetist, an anesthesiologist, a physician, a dentist, | ||||||
24 | or a podiatric physician must participate through | ||||||
25 | discussion of and agreement with the anesthesia plan and | ||||||
26 | remain physically present and available on the premises |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | during the delivery of anesthesia services for diagnosis, | ||||||
2 | consultation, and treatment of emergency medical | ||||||
3 | conditions.
| ||||||
4 | The agreement must contain provisions detailing notice for | ||||||
5 | termination or change of status involving a written | ||||||
6 | collaborative agreement, except when such notice is given for | ||||||
7 | just cause. | ||||||
8 | (c-5) A certified registered nurse anesthetist, who | ||||||
9 | provides anesthesia services outside of a hospital or | ||||||
10 | ambulatory surgical treatment center shall enter into a written | ||||||
11 | collaborative agreement with an anesthesiologist or the | ||||||
12 | physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches or | ||||||
13 | the podiatric physician performing the procedure. Outside of a | ||||||
14 | hospital or ambulatory surgical treatment center, the | ||||||
15 | certified registered nurse anesthetist may provide only those | ||||||
16 | services that the collaborating podiatric physician is | ||||||
17 | authorized to provide pursuant to the Podiatric Medical | ||||||
18 | Practice Act of 1987 and rules adopted thereunder. A certified | ||||||
19 | registered nurse anesthetist may select, order, and administer | ||||||
20 | medication, including controlled substances, and apply | ||||||
21 | appropriate medical devices for delivery of anesthesia | ||||||
22 | services under the anesthesia plan agreed with by the | ||||||
23 | anesthesiologist or the operating physician or operating | ||||||
24 | podiatric physician. | ||||||
25 | (c-10) A certified registered nurse anesthetist who | ||||||
26 | provides anesthesia services in a dental office shall enter |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | into a written collaborative agreement with an | ||||||
2 | anesthesiologist or the physician licensed to practice | ||||||
3 | medicine in all its branches or the operating dentist | ||||||
4 | performing the procedure. The agreement shall describe the | ||||||
5 | working relationship of the certified registered nurse | ||||||
6 | anesthetist and dentist and shall authorize the categories of | ||||||
7 | care, treatment, or procedures to be performed by the certified | ||||||
8 | registered nurse anesthetist. In a collaborating dentist's | ||||||
9 | office, the certified registered nurse anesthetist may only | ||||||
10 | provide those services that the operating dentist with the | ||||||
11 | appropriate permit is authorized to provide pursuant to the | ||||||
12 | Illinois Dental Practice Act and rules adopted thereunder. For | ||||||
13 | anesthesia services, an anesthesiologist, physician, or | ||||||
14 | operating dentist shall participate through discussion of and | ||||||
15 | agreement with the anesthesia plan and shall remain physically | ||||||
16 | present and be available on the premises during the delivery of | ||||||
17 | anesthesia services for diagnosis, consultation, and treatment | ||||||
18 | of emergency medical conditions. A certified registered nurse | ||||||
19 | anesthetist may select, order, and administer medication, | ||||||
20 | including controlled substances, and apply appropriate medical | ||||||
21 | devices for delivery of anesthesia services under the | ||||||
22 | anesthesia plan agreed with by the operating dentist. | ||||||
23 | (d) A copy of the signed, written collaborative agreement | ||||||
24 | must be available
to the Department upon request from both the | ||||||
25 | advanced practice nurse
and the collaborating physician or | ||||||
26 | podiatric physician. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (e) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to limit the | ||||||
2 | delegation of tasks or duties by a physician to a licensed | ||||||
3 | practical nurse, a registered professional nurse, or other | ||||||
4 | persons in accordance with Section 54.2 of the Medical Practice | ||||||
5 | Act of 1987. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to limit | ||||||
6 | the method of delegation that may be authorized by any means, | ||||||
7 | including, but not limited to, oral, written, electronic, | ||||||
8 | standing orders, protocols, guidelines, or verbal orders. | ||||||
9 | (f) An advanced
practice nurse shall inform each | ||||||
10 | collaborating physician, dentist, or podiatric physician of | ||||||
11 | all collaborative
agreements he or she
has signed and provide a | ||||||
12 | copy of these to any collaborating physician, dentist, or | ||||||
13 | podiatric physician upon
request.
| ||||||
14 | (g) For the purposes of this Act, "generally provides or | ||||||
15 | may provide in his or her clinical medical practice" means | ||||||
16 | categories of care or treatment, not specific tasks or duties, | ||||||
17 | the physician podiatric physician provides individually or | ||||||
18 | through delegation to other persons so that the physician | ||||||
19 | podiatric physician has the experience and ability to provide | ||||||
20 | collaboration and consultation. This definition shall not be | ||||||
21 | construed to prohibit an advanced practice nurse from providing | ||||||
22 | primary health treatment or care within the scope of his or her | ||||||
23 | training and experience, including, but not limited to, health | ||||||
24 | screenings, patient histories, physical examinations, women's | ||||||
25 | health examinations, or school physicals that may be provided | ||||||
26 | as part of the routine practice of an advanced practice nurse |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or on a volunteer basis. | ||||||
2 | For the purposes of this Act, "generally provides or may | ||||||
3 | provide in to his or her patients in the normal course of his | ||||||
4 | or her clinical podiatric practice" means services, not | ||||||
5 | specific tasks or duties, that the podiatric physician | ||||||
6 | podiatrist routinely provides individually or through | ||||||
7 | delegation to other persons so that the podiatric physician | ||||||
8 | podiatrist has the experience and ability to provide | ||||||
9 | collaboration and consultation. | ||||||

25 | with subsection (a) of Section 2105-15 of the Department of | ||||||
26 | Professional Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois.
| ||||||
2 | (d) In enforcing this Section, the Department, upon a | ||||||
3 | showing of a possible violation, may compel any individual who | ||||||
4 | is licensed under this Act or any individual who has applied | ||||||
5 | for licensure to submit to a mental or physical examination or | ||||||
6 | evaluation, or both, which may include a substance abuse or | ||||||
7 | sexual offender evaluation, at the expense of the Department. | ||||||
8 | The Department shall specifically designate the examining | ||||||
9 | physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its branches | ||||||
10 | or, if applicable, the multidisciplinary team involved in | ||||||
11 | providing the mental or physical examination and evaluation. | ||||||
12 | The multidisciplinary team shall be led by a physician licensed | ||||||
13 | to practice medicine in all of its branches and may consist of | ||||||
14 | one or more or a combination of physicians licensed to practice | ||||||
15 | medicine in all of its branches, licensed chiropractic | ||||||
16 | physicians, licensed clinical psychologists, licensed clinical | ||||||
17 | social workers, licensed clinical professional counselors, and | ||||||
18 | other professional and administrative staff. Any examining | ||||||
19 | physician or member of the multidisciplinary team may require | ||||||
20 | any person ordered to submit to an examination and evaluation | ||||||
21 | pursuant to this Section to submit to any additional | ||||||
22 | supplemental testing deemed necessary to complete any | ||||||
23 | examination or evaluation process, including, but not limited | ||||||
24 | to, blood testing, urinalysis, psychological testing, or | ||||||
25 | neuropsychological testing. | ||||||
26 | The Department may order the examining physician or any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | member of the multidisciplinary team to provide to the | ||||||
2 | Department any and all records, including business records, | ||||||
3 | that relate to the examination and evaluation, including any | ||||||
4 | supplemental testing performed. The Department may order the | ||||||
5 | examining physician or any member of the multidisciplinary team | ||||||
6 | to present testimony concerning this examination and | ||||||
7 | evaluation of the licensee or applicant, including testimony | ||||||
8 | concerning any supplemental testing or documents relating to | ||||||
9 | the examination and evaluation. No information, report, | ||||||
10 | record, or other documents in any way related to the | ||||||
11 | examination and evaluation shall be excluded by reason of any | ||||||
12 | common law or statutory privilege relating to communication | ||||||
13 | between the licensee or applicant and the examining physician | ||||||
14 | or any member of the multidisciplinary team. No authorization | ||||||
15 | is necessary from the licensee or applicant ordered to undergo | ||||||
16 | an evaluation and examination for the examining physician or | ||||||
17 | any member of the multidisciplinary team to provide | ||||||
18 | information, reports, records, or other documents or to provide | ||||||
19 | any testimony regarding the examination and evaluation. The | ||||||
20 | individual to be examined may have, at his or her own expense, | ||||||
21 | another physician of his or her choice present during all | ||||||
22 | aspects of the examination. | ||||||
23 | Failure of any individual to submit to mental or physical | ||||||
24 | examination or evaluation, or both, when directed, shall result | ||||||
25 | in an automatic suspension without hearing, until such time as | ||||||
26 | the individual submits to the examination. If the Department |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | finds a licensee unable to practice because of the reasons set | ||||||
2 | forth in this Section, the Department shall require the | ||||||
3 | licensee to submit to care, counseling, or treatment by | ||||||
4 | physicians approved or designated by the Department as a | ||||||
5 | condition for continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure. | ||||||
6 | When the Secretary immediately suspends a license under | ||||||
7 | this Section, a hearing upon such person's license must be | ||||||
8 | convened by the Department within 15 days after the suspension | ||||||
9 | and completed without appreciable delay. The Department shall | ||||||
10 | have the authority to review the licensee's record of treatment | ||||||
11 | and counseling regarding the impairment to the extent permitted | ||||||
12 | by applicable federal statutes and regulations safeguarding | ||||||
13 | the confidentiality of medical records. | ||||||
14 | Individuals licensed under this Act that are affected under | ||||||
15 | this Section, shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate | ||||||
16 | to the Department that they can resume practice in compliance | ||||||
17 | with acceptable and prevailing standards under the provisions | ||||||
18 | of their license.
| ||||||
19 | (e) The Department shall deny a license or renewal | ||||||
20 | authorized by this Act to a person who has defaulted on an | ||||||
21 | educational loan or scholarship provided or guaranteed by the | ||||||
22 | Illinois Student Assistance Commission or any governmental | ||||||
23 | agency of this State in accordance with paragraph (5) of | ||||||
24 | subsection (a) of Section 2105-15 of the Department of | ||||||
25 | Professional Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of | ||||||
26 | Illinois. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (f) In cases where the Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
2 | Services has previously determined a licensee or a potential | ||||||
3 | licensee is more than 30 days delinquent in the payment of | ||||||
4 | child support and has subsequently certified the delinquency to | ||||||
5 | the Department, the Department may refuse to issue or renew or | ||||||
6 | may revoke or suspend that person's license or may take other | ||||||
7 | disciplinary action against that person based solely upon the | ||||||
8 | certification of delinquency made by the Department of | ||||||
9 | Healthcare and Family Services in accordance with paragraph (5) | ||||||
10 | of subsection (a) of Section 2105-15 of the Department of | ||||||

5 | subject individual's record of treatment and counseling | ||||||
6 | regarding the impairment to the extent permitted by applicable | ||||||
7 | federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the | ||||||
8 | confidentiality of medical records. | ||||||

10 | this Section shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to | ||||||

12 | compliance with acceptable and prevailing standards under the | ||||||

12 | return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, or | ||||||
13 | interest as required by any tax Act administered by the | ||||||

18 | (e) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is | ||||||
19 | subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission, as | ||||||
20 | provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities | ||||||

24 | and the issuance of a court order so finding and discharging | ||||||
25 | the patient. | ||||||
26 | (f) In enforcing this Act, the Department or Board, upon a |

3 | licensure under this Act, to submit to a mental or physical | ||||||
4 | examination, or both, as required by and at the expense of the | ||||||
5 | Department. The Department or Board may order the examining | ||||||
6 | physician to present testimony concerning the mental or | ||||||
7 | physical examination of the licensee or applicant. No | ||||||
8 | information shall be excluded by reason of any common law or | ||||||
9 | statutory privilege relating to communications between the | ||||||
10 | licensee or applicant and the examining physician. The | ||||||
11 | examining physician shall be specifically designated by the | ||||||
12 | Board or Department. The individual to be examined may have, at | ||||||
13 | his or her own expense, another physician of his or her choice | ||||||
14 | present during all aspects of this examination. The examination | ||||||
15 | shall be performed by a physician licensed to practice medicine | ||||||
16 | in all its branches. Failure of an individual to submit to a | ||||||
17 | mental or physical examination, when directed, shall result in | ||||||
18 | an automatic suspension without hearing.
| ||||||
19 | A person holding a license under this Act or who has | ||||||
20 | applied for a license under this Act who, because of a physical | ||||||
21 | or mental illness or disability, including, but not limited to, | ||||||
22 | deterioration through the aging process or loss of motor skill, | ||||||
23 | is unable to practice the profession with reasonable judgment, | ||||||
24 | skill, or safety, may be required by the Department to submit | ||||||
25 | to care, counseling, or treatment by physicians approved or | ||||||
26 | designated by the Department as a condition, term, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | restriction for continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to | ||||||
2 | practice. Submission to care, counseling, or treatment as | ||||||
3 | required by the Department shall not be considered discipline | ||||||
4 | of a license. If the licensee refuses to enter into a care, | ||||||
5 | counseling, or treatment agreement or fails to abide by the | ||||||
6 | terms of the agreement, the Department may file a complaint to | ||||||
7 | revoke, suspend, or otherwise discipline the license of the | ||||||
8 | individual. The Secretary may order the license suspended | ||||||
9 | immediately, pending a hearing by the Department. Fines shall | ||||||
10 | not be assessed in disciplinary actions involving physical or | ||||||
11 | mental illness or impairment. | ||||||
12 | In instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a | ||||||
13 | person's license under this Section, a hearing on that person's | ||||||
14 | license must be convened by the Department within 15 days after | ||||||
15 | the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The | ||||||
16 | Department and Board shall have the authority to review the | ||||||
17 | subject individual's record of treatment and counseling | ||||||
18 | regarding the impairment to the extent permitted by applicable | ||||||
19 | federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the | ||||||
20 | confidentiality of medical records. | ||||||
21 | An individual licensed under this Act and subject to action | ||||||
22 | under this Section shall be afforded an opportunity to | ||||||
23 | demonstrate to the Department or Board that he or she can | ||||||
24 | resume practice in compliance with acceptable and prevailing | ||||||
25 | standards under the provisions of his or her license.

9 | Section 2105-15 15 of the Department of Professional Regulation | ||||||
10 | Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois (20 ILCS | ||||||
11 | 2105/2105-15). | ||||||
12 | (c) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is | ||||||
13 | subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission as | ||||||
14 | provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities | ||||||
15 | Code, as amended, operates as an automatic suspension. The | ||||||
16 | suspension will end only upon a finding by a court that the | ||||||
17 | licensee is no longer subject to the involuntary admission or | ||||||
18 | judicial admission and issues an order so finding and | ||||||
19 | discharging the licensee; and upon the recommendation of the | ||||||
20 | Board to the Secretary that the licensee be allowed to resume | ||||||
21 | his or her practice. | ||||||
22 | (d) In enforcing this Section, the Department or Board, | ||||||
23 | upon a showing of a possible violation, may order a licensee or | ||||||
24 | applicant to submit to a mental or physical examination, or | ||||||
25 | both, at the expense of the Department. The Department or Board | ||||||
26 | may order the examining physician to present testimony |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | concerning his or her examination of the licensee or applicant. | ||||||
2 | No information shall be excluded by reason of any common law or | ||||||
3 | statutory privilege relating to communications between the | ||||||
4 | licensee or applicant and the examining physician. The | ||||||
5 | examining physicians shall be specifically designated by the | ||||||
6 | Board or Department. The licensee or applicant may have, at his | ||||||
7 | or her own expense, another physician of his or her choice | ||||||
8 | present during all aspects of the examination. Failure of a | ||||||
9 | licensee or applicant to submit to any such examination when | ||||||
10 | directed, without reasonable cause as defined by rule, shall be | ||||||
11 | grounds for either the immediate suspension of his or her | ||||||
12 | license or immediate denial of his or her application. | ||||||
13 | If the Secretary immediately suspends the license of a | ||||||
14 | licensee for his or her failure to submit to a mental or | ||||||
15 | physical examination when directed, a hearing must be convened | ||||||
16 | by the Department within 15 days after the suspension and | ||||||
17 | completed without appreciable delay. | ||||||
18 | If the Secretary otherwise suspends a license pursuant to | ||||||
19 | the results of the licensee's mental or physical examination, a | ||||||
20 | hearing must be convened by the Department within 15 days after | ||||||
21 | the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The | ||||||
22 | Department and Board shall have the authority to review the | ||||||
23 | licensee's record of treatment and counseling regarding the | ||||||
24 | relevant impairment or impairments to the extent permitted by | ||||||
25 | applicable federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the | ||||||
26 | confidentiality of medical records. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Any licensee suspended or otherwise affected under this | ||||||

|
| |||||||
| |||||||

26 | judgment, skill, and safety, including without limitation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | deterioration through the aging process, mental illness, | ||||||

| ||||||
3 | (a-5) In enforcing this Section, the Department or Board, | ||||||
4 | upon a showing of a possible violation, may order a licensee or | ||||||
5 | applicant to submit to a mental or physical examination, or | ||||||
6 | both, at the expense of the Department. The Department or Board | ||||||
7 | may order the examining physician to present testimony | ||||||
8 | concerning his or her examination of the licensee or applicant. | ||||||
9 | No information shall be excluded by reason of any common law or | ||||||
10 | statutory privilege relating to communications between the | ||||||
11 | licensee or applicant and the examining physician. The | ||||||
12 | examining physicians shall be specifically designated by the | ||||||
13 | Board or Department. The licensee or applicant may have, at his | ||||||
14 | or her own expense, another physician of his or her choice | ||||||
15 | present during all aspects of the examination. Failure of a | ||||||
16 | licensee or applicant to submit to any such examination when | ||||||
17 | directed, without reasonable cause as defined by rule, shall be | ||||||
18 | grounds for either the immediate suspension of his or her | ||||||
19 | license or immediate denial of his or her application. | ||||||
20 | If the Secretary immediately suspends the license of a | ||||||
21 | licensee for his or her failure to submit to a mental or | ||||||
22 | physical examination when directed, a hearing must be convened | ||||||
23 | by the Department within 15 days after the suspension and | ||||||
24 | completed without appreciable delay. | ||||||
25 | If the Secretary otherwise suspends a license pursuant to | ||||||
26 | the results of the licensee's mental or physical examination, a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | hearing must be convened by the Department within 15 days after | ||||||
2 | the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The | ||||||
3 | Department and Board shall have the authority to review the | ||||||
4 | licensee's record of treatment and counseling regarding the | ||||||
5 | relevant impairment or impairments to the extent permitted by | ||||||
6 | applicable federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the | ||||||
7 | confidentiality of medical records. | ||||||
8 | Any licensee suspended under this subsection (a-5) shall be | ||||||
9 | afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the Department or | ||||||
10 | Board that he or she can resume practice in compliance with the | ||||||
11 | acceptable and prevailing standards under the provisions of his | ||||||
12 | or her license.
| ||||||
13 | (b) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is | ||||||
14 | subject to
involuntary admission or judicial admission, as | ||||||
15 | provided in the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities | ||||||
16 | Code, operates as an automatic
suspension. Such suspension will | ||||||
17 | end only upon a finding by a court that
the patient is no | ||||||
18 | longer subject to involuntary admission or judicial
admission, | ||||||
19 | the issuance of an order so finding and discharging the | ||||||
20 | patient, and
the recommendation of the Board to the Secretary | ||||||
21 | that the licensee be
allowed to resume practice.
| ||||||
22 | (c) The Department shall deny a license or renewal | ||||||
23 | authorized by this Act to a person who has defaulted on an | ||||||
24 | educational loan or scholarship provided or guaranteed by the | ||||||
25 | Illinois Student Assistance Commission or any governmental | ||||||
26 | agency of this State in accordance with subdivision (a)(5) of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 2105-15 15 of the Department of Professional Regulation | ||||||
2 | Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. | ||||||
3 | (d) In cases where the Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
4 | Services (formerly the Department of Public Aid) has previously | ||||||
5 | determined that a licensee or a potential licensee is more than | ||||||
6 | 30 days delinquent in the payment of child support and has | ||||||
7 | subsequently certified the delinquency to the Department, the | ||||||
8 | Department shall refuse to issue or renew or shall revoke or | ||||||
9 | suspend that person's license or shall take other disciplinary | ||||||
10 | action against that person based solely upon the certification | ||||||
11 | of delinquency made by the Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
12 | Services in accordance with subdivision (a)(5) of Section | ||||||
13 | 2105-15 15 of the Department of Professional Regulation Law of | ||||||
14 | the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois. | ||||||
15 | (e) The Department shall deny a license or renewal | ||||||
16 | authorized by this Act to a person who has failed to file a | ||||||
17 | return, to pay the tax, penalty, or interest shown in a filed | ||||||
18 | return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, or | ||||||
19 | interest as required by any tax Act administered by the | ||||||
20 | Department of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of | ||||||
21 | the tax Act are satisfied in accordance with subsection (g) of | ||||||
22 | Section 2105-15 15 of the Department of Professional Regulation | ||||||
23 | Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
| ||||||
24 | (f) Persons who assist the Department as consultants or | ||||||
25 | expert witnesses in
the investigation or prosecution of alleged | ||||||
26 | violations of the Act,
licensure matters, restoration |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | proceedings, or criminal prosecutions, shall
not be liable for | ||||||
2 | damages in any civil action or proceeding as a result of
such | ||||||
3 | assistance, except upon proof of actual malice. The attorney | ||||||
4 | general
shall defend such persons in any such action or | ||||||
5 | proceeding.

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | licensed to practice under this Act, or who has applied for | ||||||
2 | licensure or certification pursuant to this Act, to submit to a | ||||||
3 | mental or physical examination, or both, as required by and at | ||||||
4 | the expense of the Department. The Department or Board may | ||||||
5 | order the examining physician to present testimony concerning | ||||||
6 | the mental or physical examination of the licensee or | ||||||
7 | applicant. No information shall be excluded by reason of any | ||||||
8 | common law or statutory privilege relating to communications | ||||||
9 | between the licensee or applicant and the examining physician. | ||||||
10 | The examining physicians shall be specifically designated by | ||||||
11 | the Board or Department. The individual to be examined may | ||||||
12 | have, at his or her own expense, another physician of his or | ||||||
13 | her choice present during all aspects of the examination. | ||||||
14 | Failure of an individual to submit to a mental or physical | ||||||
15 | examination when directed shall be grounds for the immediate | ||||||
16 | suspension of his or her license until the individual submits | ||||||
17 | to the examination if the Department finds that the refusal to | ||||||
18 | submit to the examination was without reasonable cause as | ||||||
19 | defined by rule. | ||||||
20 | If the Secretary immediately suspends the license of a | ||||||
21 | licensee for his or her failure to submit to a mental or | ||||||
22 | physical examination when directed, a hearing must be convened | ||||||
23 | by the Department within 15 days after the suspension and | ||||||
24 | completed without appreciable delay. | ||||||
25 | If the Secretary otherwise suspends a person's license | ||||||
26 | pursuant to the results of a compelled mental or physical |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | examination, a hearing on that person's license must be | ||||||
2 | convened by the Department within 15 days after the suspension | ||||||
3 | and completed without appreciable delay. The Department and | ||||||
4 | Board shall have the authority to review the subject | ||||||
5 | individual's record of treatment and counseling regarding | ||||||
6 | impairment to the extent permitted by applicable federal | ||||||
7 | statutes and regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of | ||||||
8 | medical records. | ||||||
9 | Any licensee suspended under this subsection (a-5) shall be | ||||||
10 | afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the Department or | ||||||
11 | Board that he or she can resume practice in compliance with the | ||||||
12 | acceptable and prevailing standards under the provisions of his | ||||||
13 | or her license.
| ||||||
14 | (b) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is | ||||||
15 | subject to
involuntary admission or judicial admission as | ||||||
16 | provided in the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities | ||||||
17 | Code, as
now or hereafter amended, operates as an automatic | ||||||
18 | license suspension. Such
suspension will end only upon a | ||||||
19 | finding by a court that the patient is no
longer subject to | ||||||
20 | involuntary admission or judicial admission and the
issuance of | ||||||
21 | an order so finding and discharging the patient and upon the
| ||||||
22 | recommendation of the Board to the Director that the licensee | ||||||
23 | be allowed to
resume his or her practice.
| ||||||
24 | (c) The Department shall deny a license or renewal | ||||||
25 | authorized by this Act to a person who has defaulted on an | ||||||
26 | educational loan or scholarship provided or guaranteed by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois Student Assistance Commission or any governmental | ||||||
2 | agency of this State in accordance with subdivision (a)(5) of | ||||||
3 | Section 2105-15 15 of the Department of Professional Regulation | ||||||

6 | (d) In cases where the Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
7 | Services (formerly the Department of Public Aid) has previously | ||||||
8 | determined that a licensee or a potential licensee is more than | ||||||
9 | 30 days delinquent in the payment of child support and has | ||||||
10 | subsequently certified the delinquency to the Department, the | ||||||
11 | Department shall refuse to issue or renew or shall revoke or | ||||||
12 | suspend that person's license or shall take other disciplinary | ||||||
13 | action against that person based solely upon the certification | ||||||
14 | of delinquency made by the Department of Healthcare and Family | ||||||
15 | Services in accordance with subdivision (a)(5) of Section | ||||||
16 | 2105-15 15 of the Department of Professional Regulation Law of | ||||||
17 | the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois (20 ILCS | ||||||

19 | (e) The Department shall refuse to issue or renew or shall | ||||||
20 | revoke or suspend a person's license or shall take other | ||||||
21 | disciplinary action against that person for his or her failure | ||||||
22 | to file a return, to pay the tax, penalty, or interest shown in | ||||||
23 | a filed return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, | ||||||
24 | or interest as required by any tax Act administered by the | ||||||
25 | Department of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of | ||||||

| ||||||
3 | (a-5) In enforcing this Section, the Department or Board, | ||||||

admission, | ||||||
19 | the issuance of an order so finding and discharging the | ||||||
20 | patient,
and the recommendation of the Board to the Secretary | ||||||
21 | that
the licensee be allowed to resume practice.

| ||||||
22 | (21) Willful failure to systematically retain | ||||||
23 | stenographic notes or transcripts on paper or any | ||||||
24 | electronic media for 10 years
from the date that the notes | ||||||
25 | or transcripts were taken;

| ||||||
2 | (23) Establishing contingent fees as a basis of | ||||||

18 | holder is
subject to involuntary admission or judicial | ||||||
19 | admission as provided in the
Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
20 | Disabilities Code, operates as an automatic

22 | patient is no longer subject to involuntary
admission or | ||||||
23 | judicial admission, an order by the court so finding and

7 | the Department, the Department may refuse to issue or renew or | ||||||
8 | may revoke or suspend that person's license or may take other | ||||||
9 | disciplinary action against that person based solely upon the | ||||||
10 | certification of delinquency made by the Department of | ||||||
11 | Healthcare and Family Services in accordance with item (5) of | ||||||
12 | subsection (a) (g) of Section 2105-15 1205-15 of the Civil | ||||||
13 | Administrative Code of Illinois. | ||||||
14 | (d) In enforcing this Section, the Department, upon a | ||||||
15 | showing of a possible violation, may compel any individual who | ||||||
16 | is certified under this Act or any individual who has applied | ||||||
17 | for certification under this Act to submit to a mental or | ||||||
18 | physical examination and evaluation, or both, which may include | ||||||
19 | a substance abuse or sexual offender evaluation, at the expense | ||||||
20 | of the Department. The Department shall specifically designate | ||||||
21 | the examining physician licensed to practice medicine in all of | ||||||
22 | its branches or, if applicable, the multidisciplinary team | ||||||
23 | involved in providing the mental or physical examination and | ||||||
24 | evaluation, or both. The multidisciplinary team shall be led by | ||||||
25 | a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its | ||||||
26 | branches and may consist of one or more or a combination of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | physicians licensed to practice medicine in all of its | ||||||
2 | branches, licensed chiropractic physicians, licensed clinical | ||||||
3 | psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed | ||||||
4 | clinical professional counselors, and other professional and | ||||||
5 | administrative staff. Any examining physician or member of the | ||||||
6 | multidisciplinary team may require any person ordered to submit | ||||||
7 | to an examination and evaluation pursuant to this Section to | ||||||
8 | submit to any additional supplemental testing deemed necessary | ||||||
9 | to complete any examination or evaluation process, including, | ||||||
10 | but not limited to, blood testing, urinalysis, psychological | ||||||
11 | testing, or neuropsychological testing. | ||||||
12 | The Department may order the examining physician or any | ||||||
13 | member of the multidisciplinary team to provide to the | ||||||
14 | Department any and all records, including business records, | ||||||
15 | that relate to the examination and evaluation, including any | ||||||
16 | supplemental testing performed. The Department may order the | ||||||
17 | examining physician or any member of the multidisciplinary team | ||||||
18 | to present testimony concerning this examination and | ||||||
19 | evaluation of the certified shorthand reporter or applicant, | ||||||
20 | including testimony concerning any supplemental testing or | ||||||
21 | documents relating to the examination and evaluation. No | ||||||
22 | information, report, record, or other documents in any way | ||||||
23 | related to the examination and evaluation shall be excluded by | ||||||
24 | reason of any common law or statutory privilege relating to | ||||||
25 | communication between the licensee or applicant and the | ||||||
26 | examining physician or any member of the multidisciplinary |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | team. No authorization is necessary from the certified | ||||||
2 | shorthand reporter or applicant ordered to undergo an | ||||||
3 | evaluation and examination for the examining physician or any | ||||||
4 | member of the multidisciplinary team to provide information, | ||||||
5 | reports, records, or other documents or to provide any | ||||||
6 | testimony regarding the examination and evaluation. The | ||||||
7 | individual to be examined may have, at his or her own expense, | ||||||
8 | another physician of his or her choice present during all | ||||||
9 | aspects of the examination. | ||||||
10 | Failure of any individual to submit to mental or physical | ||||||
11 | examination and evaluation, or both, when directed, shall | ||||||
12 | result in an automatic suspension, without hearing, until such | ||||||
13 | time as the individual submits to the examination. If the | ||||||
14 | Department finds a certified shorthand reporter unable to | ||||||
15 | practice because of the reasons set forth in this Section, the | ||||||
16 | Department shall require the certified shorthand reporter to | ||||||
17 | submit to care, counseling, or treatment by physicians approved | ||||||
18 | or designated by the Department, as a condition for continued, | ||||||
19 | reinstated, or renewed certification. | ||||||
20 | When the Secretary immediately suspends a certificate | ||||||
21 | under this Section, a hearing upon the person's certificate | ||||||
22 | must be convened by the Department within 15 days after the | ||||||
23 | suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The | ||||||
24 | Department shall have the authority to review the certified | ||||||
25 | shorthand reporter's record of treatment and counseling | ||||||
26 | regarding the impairment, to the extent permitted by applicable |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the | ||||||
2 | confidentiality of medical records. | ||||||
3 | Individuals certified under this Act, affected under this | ||||||
4 | Section, shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the | ||||||
5 | Department that they can resume practice in compliance with | ||||||
6 | acceptable and prevailing standards under the provisions of | ||||||
7 | their certification. | ||||||
8 | (e) The Department shall deny a license or renewal | ||||||
9 | authorized by this Act to a person who has defaulted on an | ||||||
10 | educational loan or scholarship provided or guaranteed by the | ||||||
11 | Illinois Student Assistance Commission or any governmental | ||||||
12 | agency of this State in accordance with item (5) of subsection | ||||||
13 | (a) (g) of Section 2105-15 of the Civil Administrative Code of | ||||||
14 | Illinois. | ||||||
15 | (f) The Department may refuse to issue or may suspend | ||||||
16 | without hearing, as provided for in the Code of Civil | ||||||
17 | Procedure, the license of any person who fails to file a | ||||||
18 | return, to pay the tax, penalty, or interest shown in a filed | ||||||
19 | return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, or | ||||||
20 | interest as required by any tax Act administered by the | ||||||
21 | Illinois Department of Revenue, until such time as the | ||||||
22 | requirements of any such tax Act are satisfied in accordance | ||||||
23 | with subsection (g) of Section 2105-15 of the Civil | ||||||
24 | Administrative Code of Illinois. | ||||||

17 | and has subsequently certified the delinquency to the | ||||||
18 | Department may refuse to issue or renew or may revoke or | ||||||
19 | suspend that person's license or may take other disciplinary | ||||||
20 | action against that person based solely upon the certification | ||||||

11 | present during all aspects of this examination. Failure of an | ||||||
12 | individual to submit to a mental or physical examination, when | ||||||
13 | directed, shall be grounds for suspension of his or her license | ||||||
14 | or denial of his or her application or renewal until the | ||||||
15 | individual submits to the examination if the Department finds, | ||||||
16 | after notice and hearing, that the refusal to submit to the | ||||||

18 | If the Department or Board finds an individual unable to | ||||||
19 | practice because of the reasons set forth in this Section, the | ||||||
20 | Department or Board may require that individual to submit to | ||||||

26 | Department to file, a complaint to immediately suspend, revoke, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | deny, or otherwise discipline the license of the individual. An | ||||||
2 | individual whose license was granted, continued, reinstated, | ||||||
3 | renewed, disciplined or supervised subject to such terms, | ||||||
4 | conditions, or restrictions, and who fails to comply with such | ||||||
5 | terms, conditions, or restrictions, shall be referred to the | ||||||
6 | Secretary for a determination as to whether the individual | ||||||
7 | shall have his or her license suspended immediately, pending a | ||||||

10 | person's license under this Section, a hearing on that person's | ||||||
11 | license must be convened by the Department within 30 days after | ||||||
12 | the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The | ||||||
13 | Department and Board shall have the authority to review the | ||||||
14 | subject individual's record of treatment and counseling | ||||||
15 | regarding the impairment to the extent permitted by applicable | ||||||
16 | federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the | ||||||
17 | confidentiality of medical records. | ||||||
18 | An individual licensed under this Act and affected under | ||||||
19 | this Section shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to | ||||||
20 | the Department or Board that he or she can resume practice in | ||||||
21 | compliance with acceptable and prevailing standards under the | ||||||

15 | licensee is more than 30 days delinquent in the payment of | ||||||

25 | subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission, as | ||||||
26 | provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Code, operates as an automatic suspension. The suspension will | ||||||
2 | end only upon a finding by a court that the patient is no | ||||||
3 | longer subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission | ||||||
4 | and the issuance of an order so finding and discharging the | ||||||
5 | patient. | ||||||
6 | (f) In enforcing this Act, the Department, upon a showing | ||||||
7 | of a possible violation, may compel an individual licensed to | ||||||
8 | practice under this Act, or who has applied for licensure under | ||||||
9 | this Act, to submit to a mental or physical examination, or | ||||||
10 | both, as required by and at the expense of the Department. The | ||||||
11 | Department may order the examining physician to present | ||||||
12 | testimony concerning the mental or physical examination of the | ||||||
13 | licensee or applicant. No information shall be excluded by | ||||||
14 | reason of any common law or statutory privilege relating to | ||||||
15 | communications between the licensee or applicant and the | ||||||
16 | examining physician. The examining physicians shall be | ||||||
17 | specifically designated by the Department. The individual to be | ||||||
18 | examined may have, at his or her own expense, another physician | ||||||
19 | of his or her choice present during all aspects of this | ||||||
20 | examination. The examination shall be performed by a physician | ||||||
21 | licensed to practice medicine in all its branches. Failure of | ||||||
22 | an individual to submit to a mental or physical examination, | ||||||
23 | when directed, shall result in an automatic suspension without | ||||||
24 | hearing. | ||||||
25 | A person holding a license under this Act or who has | ||||||
26 | applied for a license under this Act who, because of a physical |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or mental illness or disability, including, but not limited to, | ||||||
2 | deterioration through the aging process or loss of motor skill, | ||||||
3 | is unable to practice the profession with reasonable judgment, | ||||||
4 | skill, or safety, may be required by the Department to submit | ||||||
5 | to care, counseling, or treatment by physicians approved or | ||||||
6 | designated by the Department as a condition, term, or | ||||||
7 | restriction for continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to | ||||||
8 | practice. Submission to care, counseling, or treatment as | ||||||
9 | required by the Department shall not be considered discipline | ||||||
10 | of a license. If the licensee refuses to enter into a care, | ||||||
11 | counseling, or treatment agreement or fails to abide by the | ||||||
12 | terms of the agreement, the Department may file a complaint to | ||||||
13 | revoke, suspend, or otherwise discipline the license of the | ||||||
14 | individual. The Secretary may order the license suspended | ||||||
15 | immediately, pending a hearing by the Department. Fines shall | ||||||
16 | not be assessed in disciplinary actions involving physical or | ||||||
17 | mental illness or impairment. | ||||||
18 | In instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a | ||||||
19 | person's license under this Section, a hearing on that person's | ||||||
20 | license must be convened by the Department within 15 days after | ||||||
21 | the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The | ||||||
22 | Department shall have the authority to review the subject | ||||||
23 | individual's record of treatment and counseling regarding the | ||||||
24 | impairment to the extent permitted by applicable federal | ||||||
25 | statutes and regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of | ||||||
26 | medical records. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | An individual licensed under this Act and affected under | ||||||
2 | this Section shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to | ||||||
3 | the Department that he or she can resume practice in compliance | ||||||
4 | with acceptable and prevailing standards under the provisions | ||||||
5 | of his or her license. | ||||||

12 | (g) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is | ||||||
13 | subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission, as | ||||||
14 | provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities | ||||||
15 | Code, operates as an automatic suspension. The suspension will | ||||||
16 | end only upon a finding by a court that the patient is no | ||||||
17 | longer subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission | ||||||
18 | and the issuance of a court order so finding and discharging | ||||||
19 | the patient. | ||||||
20 | (h) In enforcing this Act, the Department, upon a showing | ||||||
21 | of a possible violation, may compel an individual licensed to | ||||||
22 | practice under this Act, or who has applied for licensure under | ||||||

24 | both, as required by and at the expense of the Department. The | ||||||
25 | Department may order the examining physician to present | ||||||
26 | testimony concerning the mental or physical examination of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | licensee or applicant. No information shall be excluded by | ||||||
2 | reason of any common law or statutory privilege relating to | ||||||
3 | communications between the licensee or applicant and the | ||||||
4 | examining physician. The examining physician shall be | ||||||
5 | specifically designated by the Department. The individual to be | ||||||
6 | examined may have, at his or her own expense, another physician | ||||||
7 | of his or her choice present during all aspects of this | ||||||
8 | examination. The examination shall be performed by a physician | ||||||
9 | licensed to practice medicine in all its branches. Failure of | ||||||
10 | an individual to submit to a mental or physical examination, | ||||||
11 | when directed, shall result in an automatic suspension without | ||||||
12 | hearing. | ||||||
13 | A person holding a license under this Act or who has | ||||||
14 | applied for a license under this Act, who, because of a | ||||||
15 | physical or mental illness or disability, including, but not | ||||||
16 | limited to, deterioration through the aging process or loss of | ||||||
17 | motor skill, is unable to practice the profession with | ||||||
18 | reasonable judgment, skill, or safety, may be required by the | ||||||
19 | Department to submit to care, counseling, or treatment by | ||||||
20 | physicians approved or designated by the Department as a | ||||||
21 | condition, term, or restriction for continued, reinstated, or | ||||||
22 | renewed licensure to practice. Submission to care, counseling, | ||||||
23 | or treatment as required by the Department shall not be | ||||||
24 | considered discipline of a license. If the licensee refuses to | ||||||
25 | enter into a care, counseling, or treatment agreement or fails | ||||||
26 | to abide by the terms of the agreement, the Department may file |
| |||||||
| |||||||

8 | construction of the well pad and access roads must be | ||||||
9 | stockpiled, stabilized, and remain on site for use in | ||||||
10 | either partial or final reclamation. In the event it is | ||||||
11 | anticipated that the final reclamation shall take place in | ||||||
12 | excess of one year from drilling the well the topsoil may | ||||||
13 | be disposed of in any lawful manner provided the operator | ||||||
14 | reclaims the site with topsoil of similar characteristics | ||||||
15 | of the topsoil removed. | ||||||
16 | (3) Piping, conveyances, valves, and tanks in contact | ||||||
17 | with hydraulic fracturing fluid, hydraulic fracturing | ||||||
18 | flowback, or produced water must be constructed of | ||||||
19 | materials compatible with the composition of the hydraulic | ||||||
20 | fracturing fluid, hydraulic fracturing flowback, and | ||||||
21 | produced water.
| ||||||
22 | (4) The improvement, construction, or repair of a | ||||||
23 | publicly owned highway or roadway, if undertaken by the | ||||||
24 | owner, operator, permittee, or any other private entity, | ||||||
25 | shall be performed using bidding procedures outlined in the | ||||||
26 | Illinois Department of Transportation rules governing |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | local roads and streets or applicable bidding requirements | ||||||
2 | outlined in the Illinois Procurement Code as though the | ||||||
3 | project were publicly funded. | ||||||
4 | (c) Site maintenance standards shall be as follows: | ||||||
5 | (1) Secondary containment is required for all fueling | ||||||
6 | tanks. | ||||||
7 | (2) Fueling tanks shall be subject to Section 1-25 of | ||||||
8 | this Act. | ||||||
9 | (3) Fueling tank filling operations shall be | ||||||
10 | supervised at the fueling truck and at the tank if the tank | ||||||
11 | is not visible to the fueling operator from the truck. | ||||||
12 | (4) Troughs, drip pads, or drip pans are required | ||||||
13 | beneath the fill port of a fueling tank during filling | ||||||
14 | operations if the fill port is not within the secondary | ||||||
15 | containment required by paragraph (1) of this subsection. | ||||||
16 | (d) All wells shall be constructed, and casing and | ||||||
17 | cementing activities shall be conducted, in a manner that shall | ||||||
18 | provide for control of the well at all times, prevent the | ||||||
19 | migration of oil, gas, and other fluids into the fresh water | ||||||
20 | and coal seams, and prevent pollution or diminution of fresh | ||||||
21 | water. In addition to any of the Department's casing and | ||||||
22 | cementing requirements, the following shall apply: | ||||||
23 | (1) All casings must conform to the current industry | ||||||
24 | standards published by the American Petroleum Institute. | ||||||
25 | (2) Casing thread compound and its use must conform to | ||||||
26 | the current industry standards published by the American |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Petroleum Institute. | ||||||
2 | (3) Surface casing shall be centralized at the shoe, | ||||||
3 | above and below a stage collar or diverting tool, if run, | ||||||
4 | and through usable-quality water zones. In non-deviated | ||||||
5 | holes, pipe centralization as follows is required: a | ||||||
6 | centralizer shall be placed every fourth joint from the | ||||||
7 | cement shoe to the ground surface or to the bottom of the | ||||||
8 | cellar. All centralizers shall meet specifications in, or | ||||||
9 | equivalent to, API Spec spec 10D, Specification for | ||||||
10 | Bow-Spring Casing Centralizers; API Spec 10 TR4, Technical | ||||||
11 | Report on Considerations Regarding Selection of | ||||||
12 | Centralizers for Primary Cementing Operations; and API RP | ||||||
13 | 10D-2, Recommended Practice for Centralizer Placement and | ||||||
14 | Stop Collar Testing. The Department may require additional | ||||||
15 | centralization as necessary to ensure the integrity of the | ||||||
16 | well design is adequate. All centralizers must conform to | ||||||
17 | the current industry standards published by the American | ||||||
18 | Petroleum Institute. | ||||||
19 | (4) Cement must conform to current industry standards | ||||||
20 | published by the American Petroleum Institute and the | ||||||
21 | cement slurry must be prepared to minimize its free water | ||||||
22 | content in accordance with the current industry standards | ||||||
23 | published by the American Petroleum Institute; the cement | ||||||
24 | must also: | ||||||
25 | (A) secure the casing in the wellbore; | ||||||
26 | (B) isolate and protect fresh groundwater; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (C) isolate abnormally pressured zones, lost | ||||||
2 | circulation zones, and any potential flow zones | ||||||
3 | including hydrocarbon and fluid-bearing zones; | ||||||
4 | (D) properly control formation pressure and any | ||||||
5 | pressure from drilling, completion and production; | ||||||
6 | (E) protect the casing from corrosion and | ||||||
7 | degradation; and | ||||||
8 | (F) prevent gas flow in the annulus. | ||||||
9 | (5) Prior to cementing any casing string, the borehole | ||||||
10 | must be circulated and conditioned to ensure an adequate | ||||||
11 | cement bond. | ||||||
12 | (6) A pre-flush or spacer must be pumped ahead of the | ||||||
13 | cement. | ||||||
14 | (7) The cement must be pumped at a rate and in a flow | ||||||
15 | regime that inhibits channeling of the cement in the | ||||||
16 | annulus. | ||||||
17 | (8) Cement compressive strength tests must be | ||||||
18 | performed on all surface, intermediate, and production | ||||||
19 | casing strings; after the cement is placed behind the | ||||||
20 | casing, the operator shall wait on cement to set until the | ||||||
21 | cement achieves a calculated compressive strength of at | ||||||
22 | least 500 pounds per square inch, and a minimum of 8 hours | ||||||
23 | before the casing is disturbed in any way, including | ||||||
24 | installation of a blowout preventer. The cement shall have | ||||||
25 | a 72-hour compressive strength of at least 1,200 psi, and | ||||||
26 | the free water separation shall be no more than 6 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | milliliters per 250 milliliters of cement, tested in | ||||||
2 | accordance with current American Petroleum petroleum | ||||||
3 | Institute standards. | ||||||
4 | (9) A copy of the cement job log for any cemented | ||||||
5 | casing string in the well shall be maintained in the well | ||||||
6 | file and available to the Department upon request. | ||||||
7 | (10) Surface casing shall be used and set to a depth of | ||||||
8 | at least 200 feet, or 100 feet below the base of the | ||||||
9 | deepest fresh water, whichever is deeper, but no more than | ||||||
10 | 200 feet below the base of the deepest fresh water and | ||||||
11 | prior to encountering any hydrocarbon-bearing zones. The | ||||||
12 | surface casing must be run and cemented as soon as | ||||||
13 | practicable after the hole has been adequately circulated | ||||||
14 | and conditioned. | ||||||
15 | (11) The Department must be notified at least 24 hours | ||||||
16 | prior to surface casing cementing operations. Surface | ||||||
17 | casing must be fully cemented to the surface with excess | ||||||
18 | cements. Cementing must be by the pump and plug method with | ||||||
19 | a minimum of 25% excess cement with appropriate lost | ||||||
20 | circulation material, unless another amount of excess | ||||||
21 | cement is approved by the Department. If cement returns are | ||||||
22 | not observed at the surface, the operator must perform | ||||||
23 | remedial actions as appropriate. | ||||||
24 | (12) Intermediate casing must be installed when | ||||||
25 | necessary to isolate fresh water not isolated by surface | ||||||
26 | casing and to seal off potential flow zones, anomalous |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pressure zones, lost circulation zones and other drilling | ||||||
2 | hazards. | ||||||
3 | Intermediate casing must be set to protect fresh water | ||||||
4 | if surface casing was set above the base of the deepest | ||||||
5 | fresh water, if additional fresh water was found below the | ||||||
6 | surface casing shoe, or both. Intermediate casing used to | ||||||
7 | isolate fresh water must not be used as the production | ||||||
8 | string in the well in which it is installed, and may not be | ||||||
9 | perforated for purposes of conducting a hydraulic fracture | ||||||
10 | treatment through it. | ||||||
11 | When intermediate casing is installed to protect fresh | ||||||
12 | water, the operator shall set a full string of new | ||||||
13 | intermediate casing at least 100 feet below the base of the | ||||||
14 | deepest fresh water and bring cement to the surface. In | ||||||
15 | instances where intermediate casing was set solely to | ||||||
16 | protect fresh water encountered below the surface casing | ||||||
17 | shoe, and cementing to the surface is technically | ||||||
18 | infeasible, would result in lost circulation, or both, | ||||||
19 | cement must be brought to a minimum of 600 feet above the | ||||||
20 | shallowest fresh water zone encountered below the surface | ||||||
21 | casing shoe or to the surface if the fresh water zone is | ||||||
22 | less than 600 feet from the surface. The location and | ||||||
23 | depths of any hydrocarbon-bearing zones or fresh water | ||||||
24 | zones that are open to the wellbore above the casing shoe | ||||||
25 | must be confirmed by coring, electric logs, or testing and | ||||||
26 | must be reported to the Department. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | In the case that intermediate casing was set for a | ||||||
2 | reason other than to protect strata that contains fresh | ||||||
3 | water, the intermediate casing string shall be cemented | ||||||
4 | from the shoe to a point at least 600 true vertical feet | ||||||
5 | above the shoe. If there is a hydrocarbon-bearing | ||||||
6 | hydrocarbon bearing zone capable of producing exposed | ||||||
7 | above the intermediate casing shoe, the casing shall be | ||||||
8 | cemented from the shoe to a point at least 600 true | ||||||
9 | vertical feet above the shallowest hydrocarbon-bearing | ||||||
10 | hydrocarbon bearing zone or to a point at least 200 feet | ||||||
11 | above the shoe of the next shallower casing string that was | ||||||
12 | set and cemented in the well (or to the surface if less | ||||||
13 | than 200 feet). | ||||||
14 | (13) The Department must be notified prior to | ||||||
15 | intermediate casing cementing operations. Cementing must | ||||||
16 | be by the pump and plug method with a minimum of 25% excess | ||||||
17 | cement. A radial cement bond evaluation log, or other | ||||||
18 | evaluation approved by the Department, must be run to | ||||||
19 | verify the cement bond on the intermediate casing. Remedial | ||||||
20 | cementing is required if the cement bond is not adequate | ||||||
21 | for drilling ahead. | ||||||
22 | (14) Production casing must be run and fully cemented | ||||||
23 | to 500 feet above the top perforated zone, if possible. The | ||||||
24 | Department must be notified at least 24 hours prior to | ||||||
25 | production casing cementing operations. Cementing must be | ||||||
26 | by the pump and plug method with a minimum of 25% excess |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | cement. | ||||||
2 | (15) At any time, the Department, as it deems | ||||||
3 | necessary, may require installation of an additional | ||||||
4 | cemented casing string or strings in the well. | ||||||
5 | (16) After the setting and cementing of a casing | ||||||
6 | string, except the conductor casing, and prior to further | ||||||
7 | drilling, the casing string shall be tested with fresh | ||||||
8 | water, mud, or brine to no less than 0.22 psi per foot of | ||||||
9 | casing string length or 1,500 psi, whichever is greater but | ||||||
10 | not to exceed 70% of the minimum internal yield, for at | ||||||
11 | least 30 minutes with less than a 5% pressure loss, except | ||||||
12 | that any casing string that will have pressure exerted on | ||||||
13 | it during stimulation of the well shall be tested to at | ||||||
14 | least the maximum anticipated treatment pressure. If the | ||||||
15 | pressure declines more than 5% or if there are other | ||||||
16 | indications of a leak, corrective action shall be taken | ||||||
17 | before conducting further drilling and high volume | ||||||
18 | horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations. The operator | ||||||
19 | shall contact the Department's District Office for any | ||||||
20 | county in which the well is located at least 24 hours prior | ||||||
21 | to conducting a pressure test to enable an inspector to be | ||||||
22 | present when the test is done. A record of the pressure | ||||||
23 | test must be maintained by the operator and must be | ||||||
24 | submitted to the Department on a form prescribed by the | ||||||
25 | Department prior to conducting high volume horizontal | ||||||
26 | hydraulic fracturing operations. The actual pressure must |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | not exceed the test pressure at any time during high volume | ||||||
2 | horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations. | ||||||
3 | (17) Any hydraulic fracturing string used in the high | ||||||
4 | volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations must be | ||||||
5 | either strung into a production liner or run with a packer | ||||||
6 | set at least 100 feet below the deepest cement top and must | ||||||
7 | be tested to not less than the maximum anticipated treating | ||||||
8 | pressure minus the annulus pressure applied between the | ||||||
9 | fracturing string and the production or immediate casing. | ||||||
10 | The pressure test shall be considered successful if the | ||||||
11 | pressure applied has been held for 30 minutes with no more | ||||||
12 | than 5% pressure loss. A function-tested relief valve and | ||||||
13 | diversion line must be installed and used to divert flow | ||||||
14 | from the hydraulic fracturing string-casing annulus to a | ||||||
15 | covered watertight steel tank in case of hydraulic | ||||||
16 | fracturing string failure. The relief valve must be set to | ||||||
17 | limit the annular pressure to no more than 95% of the | ||||||
18 | working pressure rating of the casings forming the annulus. | ||||||
19 | The annulus between the hydraulic fracturing string and | ||||||
20 | casing must be pressurized to at least 250 psi and | ||||||
21 | monitored. | ||||||
22 | (18) After a successful pressure test under paragraph | ||||||
23 | (16) of this subsection, a formation pressure integrity | ||||||
24 | test must be conducted below the surface casing and below | ||||||
25 | all intermediate casing. The operator shall notify the | ||||||
26 | Department's District Office for any county in which the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | well is located at least 24 hours prior to conducting a | ||||||
2 | formation pressure integrity test to enable an inspector to | ||||||
3 | be present when the test is done. A record of the pressure | ||||||
4 | test must be maintained by the operator and must be | ||||||
5 | submitted to the Department on a form prescribed by the | ||||||
6 | Department prior to conducting high volume horizontal | ||||||
7 | hydraulic fracturing operations. The actual hydraulic | ||||||
8 | fracturing treatment pressure must not exceed the test | ||||||
9 | pressure at any time during high volume horizontal | ||||||
10 | hydraulic fracturing operations.
| ||||||
11 | (e) Blowout prevention standards shall be set as follows: | ||||||
12 | (1) The operator shall use blowout prevention | ||||||
13 | equipment after setting casing with a competent casing | ||||||
14 | seat. Blowout prevention equipment shall be in good | ||||||
15 | working condition at all times. | ||||||
16 | (2) The operator shall use pipe fittings, valves, | ||||||
17 | and unions placed on or connected to the blow out | ||||||
18 | blow-out prevention systems that have a working | ||||||
19 | pressure capability that exceeds the anticipated | ||||||
20 | pressures. | ||||||
21 | (3) During all drilling and completion operations | ||||||
22 | when a blowout preventer is installed, tested, or in | ||||||
23 | use, the operator or operator's designated | ||||||
24 | representative shall be present at the well site and | ||||||
25 | that person or personnel shall have a current well | ||||||
26 | control certification from an accredited training |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | program that is acceptable to the Department. The | ||||||
2 | certification shall be available at the well site and | ||||||
3 | provided to the Department upon request. | ||||||
4 | (4) Appropriate pressure control procedures and | ||||||
5 | equipment in proper working order must be properly | ||||||
6 | installed and employed while conducting drilling and | ||||||
7 | completion operations including tripping, logging, | ||||||
8 | running casing into the well, and drilling out | ||||||
9 | solid-core stage plugs. | ||||||
10 | (5) Pressure testing of the blowout preventer and | ||||||
11 | related equipment for any drilling or completion | ||||||
12 | operation must be performed. Testing must be conducted | ||||||
13 | in accordance with current industry standards | ||||||
14 | published by the American Petroleum Institute. Testing | ||||||
15 | of the blowout preventer shall include testing after | ||||||
16 | the blowout preventer is installed on the well but | ||||||
17 | prior to drilling below the last cemented casing seat. | ||||||
18 | Pressure control equipment, including the blowout | ||||||
19 | preventer, that fails any pressure test shall not be | ||||||
20 | used until it is repaired and passes the pressure test. | ||||||
21 | (6) A remote blowout preventer actuator, that is | ||||||
22 | powered by a source other than rig hydraulics, shall be | ||||||
23 | located at least 50 feet from the wellhead and have an | ||||||
24 | appropriate rated working pressure.

4 | available to the Department upon request. The actual high | ||||||
5 | volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing treatment pressure | ||||||
6 | must not exceed the test pressure at any time during high | ||||||
7 | volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations. | ||||||
8 | (3) The pressure exerted on treating equipment | ||||||
9 | including valves, lines, manifolds, hydraulic fracturing | ||||||
10 | head or tree, casing and hydraulic fracturing string, if | ||||||
11 | used, must not exceed 95% of the working pressure rating of | ||||||
12 | the weakest component. The high volume horizontal | ||||||
13 | hydraulic fracturing treatment pressure must not exceed | ||||||
14 | the test pressure of any given component at any time during | ||||||
15 | high volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations. | ||||||
16 | (4) During high volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing | ||||||
17 | operations, all annulus pressures, the injection pressure, | ||||||
18 | and the rate of injection shall be continuously monitored | ||||||
19 | and recorded. The records of the monitoring shall be | ||||||
20 | maintained by the operator and shall be provided to the | ||||||
21 | Department upon request at any time during the period up to | ||||||
22 | and including 5 years after the well is permanently plugged | ||||||
23 | or abandoned. | ||||||
24 | (5) High volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing | ||||||
25 | operations must be immediately suspended if any anomalous | ||||||
26 | pressure or flow condition or any other anticipated |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pressure or flow condition is occurring in a way that | ||||||
2 | indicates the mechanical integrity of the well has been | ||||||
3 | compromised and continued operations pose a risk to the | ||||||
4 | environment. Remedial action shall be undertaken | ||||||
5 | immediately prior to recommencing high volume horizontal | ||||||
6 | hydraulic fracturing operations. The permittee shall | ||||||
7 | notify the Department within 1 hour of suspending | ||||||
8 | operations for any matters relating to the mechanical | ||||||
9 | integrity of the well or risk to the environment. | ||||||
10 | (c) Fluid and waste management. | ||||||
11 | (1) For the purposes of storage at the well site and | ||||||
12 | except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, | ||||||
13 | hydraulic fracturing additives, hydraulic fracturing | ||||||
14 | fluid, hydraulic fracturing flowback, and produced water | ||||||
15 | shall be stored in above-ground tanks during all phases of | ||||||
16 | drilling, high volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing, and | ||||||
17 | production operations until removed for proper disposal. | ||||||
18 | For the purposes of centralized storage off site for | ||||||
19 | potential reuse prior to disposal, hydraulic fracturing | ||||||
20 | additives, hydraulic fracturing fluid, hydraulic | ||||||
21 | fracturing flowback, and produced water shall be stored in | ||||||
22 | above-ground tanks. | ||||||
23 | (2) In accordance with the plan required by paragraph | ||||||
24 | (11) of subsection (b) of Section 1-35 of this Act and as | ||||||
25 | approved by the Department, the use of a reserve pit is | ||||||
26 | allowed for the temporary storage of hydraulic fracturing |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | flowback. The reserve pit shall be used only in the event | ||||||
2 | of a lack of capacity for tank storage due to higher than | ||||||
3 | expected volume or rate of hydraulic fracturing flowback, | ||||||
4 | or other unanticipated flowback occurrence. Any reserve | ||||||
5 | pit must comply with the following construction standards | ||||||
6 | and liner specifications: | ||||||
7 | (A) the synthetic liner material shall have a | ||||||
8 | minimum thickness of 24 mils with high puncture and | ||||||
9 | tear strength and be impervious and resistant to | ||||||
10 | deterioration; | ||||||
11 | (B) the pit lining system shall be designed to have | ||||||
12 | a capacity at least equivalent to 110% of the maximum | ||||||
13 | volume of hydraulic fracturing flowback anticipated to | ||||||
14 | be recovered; | ||||||
15 | (C) the lined pit shall be constructed, installed, | ||||||
16 | and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' | ||||||
17 | specifications and good engineering practices to | ||||||
18 | prevent overflow during any use; | ||||||
19 | (D) the liner shall have sufficient elongation to | ||||||
20 | cover the bottom and interior sides of the pit with the | ||||||
21 | edges secured with at least a 12 inch deep anchor | ||||||
22 | trench around the pit perimeter to prevent any slippage | ||||||
23 | or destruction of the liner materials; and | ||||||
24 | (E) the foundation for the liner shall be free of | ||||||
25 | rock and constructed with soil having a minimum | ||||||
26 | thickness of 12 inches after compaction covering the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | entire bottom and interior sides of the pit. | ||||||
2 | (3) Fresh water may be stored in tanks or pits at the | ||||||
3 | election of the operator. | ||||||
4 | (4) Tanks required under this subsection must be | ||||||
5 | above-ground tanks that are closed, watertight, and will | ||||||
6 | resist corrosion. The permittee shall routinely inspect | ||||||
7 | the tanks for corrosion. | ||||||
8 | (5) Hydraulic fracturing fluids and hydraulic | ||||||
9 | fracturing flowback must be removed from the well site | ||||||
10 | within 60 days after completion of high volume horizontal | ||||||
11 | fracturing operations, except that any excess hydraulic | ||||||
12 | fracturing flowback captured for temporary storage in a | ||||||
13 | reserve pit as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection | ||||||
14 | must be removed from the well site within 7 days. | ||||||
15 | (6) Tanks, piping, and conveyances, including valves, | ||||||
16 | must be constructed of suitable materials, be of sufficient | ||||||
17 | pressure rating, be able to resist corrosion, and be | ||||||
18 | maintained in a leak-free condition. Fluid transfer | ||||||
19 | operations from tanks to tanker trucks must be supervised | ||||||
20 | at the truck and at the tank if the tank is not visible to | ||||||
21 | the truck operator from the truck. During transfer | ||||||
22 | operations, all interconnecting piping must be supervised | ||||||
23 | if not visible to transfer personnel at the truck and tank. | ||||||
24 | (7) Hydraulic fracturing flowback must be tested for | ||||||
25 | volatile organic chemicals, semi-volatile organic | ||||||
26 | chemicals, inorganic chemicals, heavy metals, and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | naturally occurring radioactive material prior to removal | ||||||
2 | from the site. Testing shall occur once per well site and | ||||||
3 | the analytical results shall be filed with the Department | ||||||
4 | and the Agency, and provided to the liquid oilfield waste | ||||||
5 | transportation and disposal operators. Prior to plugging | ||||||
6 | and site restoration, the ground adjacent to the storage | ||||||
7 | tanks and any hydraulic fracturing flowback reserve pit | ||||||
8 | must be measured for radioactivity. | ||||||
9 | (8) Hydraulic fracturing flowback may only be disposed | ||||||
10 | of by injection into a Class II injection well that is | ||||||
11 | below interface between fresh water and naturally | ||||||
12 | occurring Class IV groundwater. Produced water may be | ||||||
13 | disposed of by injection in a permitted enhanced oil | ||||||
14 | recovery operation. Hydraulic fracturing flowback and | ||||||
15 | produced water may be treated and recycled for use in | ||||||
16 | hydraulic fracturing fluid for high volume horizontal | ||||||
17 | hydraulic fracturing operations. | ||||||
18 | (9) Discharge of hydraulic fracturing fluids, | ||||||
19 | hydraulic fracturing flowback, and produced water into any | ||||||
20 | surface water or water drainage way is prohibited. | ||||||
21 | (10) Transport of all hydraulic fracturing fluids, | ||||||
22 | hydraulic fracturing flowback, and produced water by | ||||||
23 | vehicle for disposal must be undertaken by a liquid | ||||||
24 | oilfield waste hauler permitted by the Department under | ||||||
25 | Section 8c of the Illinois Oil and Gas Act. The liquid | ||||||
26 | oilfield waste hauler transporting hydraulic fracturing |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fluids, hydraulic fracturing flowback, or produced water | ||||||
2 | under this Act shall comply with all laws, rules, and | ||||||
3 | regulations concerning liquid oilfield waste. | ||||||
4 | (11) Drill cuttings, drilling fluids, and drilling | ||||||
5 | wastes not containing oil-based mud or polymer-based mud | ||||||
6 | may be stored in tanks or pits. Pits used to store | ||||||
7 | cuttings, fluids, and drilling wastes from wells not using | ||||||
8 | fresh water mud shall be subject to the construction | ||||||
9 | standards identified in paragraph (2) of this subsection | ||||||
10 | (c) Section . Drill cuttings not contaminated with | ||||||
11 | oil-based mud or polymer-based mud may be disposed of | ||||||
12 | onsite subject to the approval of the Department. Drill | ||||||
13 | cuttings contaminated with oil-based mud or polymer-based | ||||||
14 | mud shall not be disposed of onsite on site . Annular | ||||||
15 | disposal of drill cuttings or fluid is prohibited. | ||||||
16 | (12) Any release of hydraulic fracturing fluid, | ||||||
17 | hydraulic fracturing additive, or hydraulic fracturing | ||||||
18 | flowback, used or generated during or after high volume | ||||||
19 | horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations shall be | ||||||
20 | immediately cleaned up and remediated pursuant to | ||||||
21 | Department requirements. Any release of hydraulic | ||||||
22 | fracturing fluid or hydraulic fracturing flowback in | ||||||
23 | excess of 1 barrel, shall be reported to the Department. | ||||||
24 | Any release of a hydraulic fracturing additive shall be | ||||||
25 | reported to the Department in accordance with the | ||||||
26 | appropriate reportable quantity thresholds established |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under the federal Emergency Planning and Community | ||||||
2 | Right-to-Know Act as published in the Code of Federal | ||||||
3 | Regulations (CFR), 40 CFR Parts 355, 370, and 372, the | ||||||
4 | federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, | ||||||
5 | Compensation, and Liability Act as published in 40 CFR Part | ||||||
6 | 302, and subsection (r) of Section 112 of the federal | ||||||
7 | Federal Clean Air Act as published in 40 CFR Part 68. Any | ||||||
8 | release of produced water in excess of 5 barrels shall be | ||||||
9 | cleaned up, remediated, and reported pursuant to | ||||||
10 | Department requirements. | ||||||
11 | (13) Secondary containment for tanks required under | ||||||
12 | this subsection and additive staging areas is required. | ||||||
13 | Secondary containment measures may include, as deemed | ||||||
14 | appropriate by the Department, one or a combination of the | ||||||
15 | following: dikes, liners, pads, impoundments, curbs, | ||||||
16 | sumps, or other structures or equipment capable of | ||||||
17 | containing the substance. Any secondary containment must | ||||||
18 | be sufficient to contain 110% of the total capacity of the | ||||||
19 | single largest container or tank within a common | ||||||
20 | containment area. No more than one hour before initiating | ||||||
21 | any stage of the high volume horizontal hydraulic | ||||||
22 | fracturing operations, all secondary containment must be | ||||||
23 | visually inspected to ensure all structures and equipment | ||||||
24 | are in place and in proper working order. The results of | ||||||
25 | this inspection must be recorded and documented by the | ||||||
26 | operator, and available to the Department upon request. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (14) A report on the transportation and disposal of the | ||||||
2 | hydraulic fracturing fluids and hydraulic fracturing | ||||||
3 | flowback shall be prepared and included in the well file. | ||||||
4 | The report must include the amount of fluids transported, | ||||||
5 | identification of the company that transported the fluids, | ||||||
6 | the destination of the fluids, and the method of disposal. | ||||||
7 | (15) Operators operating wells permitted under this | ||||||
8 | Act must submit an annual report to the Department | ||||||
9 | detailing the management of any produced water associated | ||||||
10 | with the permitted well. The report shall be due to the | ||||||
11 | Department no later than April 30th of each year and shall | ||||||
12 | provide information on the operator's management of any | ||||||
13 | produced water for the prior calendar year. The report | ||||||
14 | shall contain information relative to the amount of | ||||||
15 | produced water the well permitted under this Act produced, | ||||||
16 | the method by which the produced water was disposed, and | ||||||
17 | the destination where the produced water was disposed in | ||||||
18 | addition to any other information the Department | ||||||
19 | determines is necessary by rule. | ||||||
20 | (d) Hydraulic fracturing fluid shall be confined to the | ||||||
21 | targeted formation designated in the permit. If the hydraulic | ||||||
22 | fracturing fluid or hydraulic fracturing flowback are | ||||||
23 | migrating into the freshwater zone or to the surface from the | ||||||
24 | well in question or from other wells, the permittee shall | ||||||
25 | immediately notify the Department and shut in the well until | ||||||
26 | remedial action that prevents the fluid migration is completed. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The permittee shall obtain the approval of the Department prior | ||||||
2 | to resuming operations. | ||||||
3 | (e) Emissions controls. | ||||||
4 | (1) This subsection applies to all horizontal wells | ||||||
5 | that are completed with high volume horizontal hydraulic | ||||||
6 | fracturing. | ||||||
7 | (2) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (8) of | ||||||
8 | this subsection (e), permittees shall be responsible for | ||||||
9 | managing gas and hydrocarbon fluids produced during the | ||||||
10 | flowback period by routing recovered hydrocarbon fluids to | ||||||
11 | one or more storage vessels or re-injecting into the well | ||||||
12 | or another well, and routing recovered natural gas into a | ||||||
13 | flow line or collection system, re-injecting the gas into | ||||||
14 | the well or another well, using the gas as an on-site fuel | ||||||
15 | source, or using the gas for another useful purpose that a | ||||||
16 | purchased fuel or raw material would serve, with no direct | ||||||
17 | release to the atmosphere. | ||||||
18 | (3) If it is technically infeasible or economically | ||||||
19 | unreasonable to minimize emissions associated with the | ||||||
20 | venting of hydrocarbon fluids and natural gas during the | ||||||
21 | flowback period using the methods specified in paragraph | ||||||
22 | (2) of this subsection (e), the permittee shall capture and | ||||||
23 | direct the emissions to a completion combustion device, | ||||||
24 | except in conditions that may result in a fire hazard or | ||||||
25 | explosion, or where high heat emissions from a completion | ||||||
26 | combustion device may negatively impact waterways. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Completion combustion devices must be equipped with a | ||||||
2 | reliable continuous ignition source over the duration of | ||||||
3 | the flowback period. | ||||||
4 | (4) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (8) of | ||||||
5 | this subsection (e), permittees shall be responsible for | ||||||
6 | minimizing the emissions associated with venting of | ||||||
7 | hydrocarbon fluids and natural gas during the production | ||||||
8 | phase by: | ||||||
9 | (A) routing the recovered fluids into storage | ||||||
10 | vessels and (i) routing the recovered gas into a gas | ||||||
11 | gathering line, collection system, or to a generator | ||||||
12 | for onsite energy generation, providing that gas to the | ||||||
13 | surface owner of the well site for use for heat or | ||||||
14 | energy generation, or (ii) using another method other | ||||||
15 | than venting or flaring; and | ||||||
16 | (B) employing sand traps, surge vessels, | ||||||
17 | separators, and tanks as soon as practicable during | ||||||
18 | cleanout operations to safely maximize resource | ||||||
19 | recovery and minimize releases to the environment. | ||||||
20 | (5) If the permittee establishes that it is technically | ||||||
21 | infeasible or economically unreasonable to minimize | ||||||
22 | emissions associated with the venting of hydrocarbon | ||||||
23 | fluids and natural gas during production using the methods | ||||||
24 | specified in paragraph (4) of this subsection (e), the | ||||||
25 | Department shall require the permittee to capture and | ||||||
26 | direct any natural gas produced during the production phase |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to a flare. Any flare used pursuant to this paragraph shall | ||||||
2 | be equipped with a reliable continuous ignition source over | ||||||
3 | the duration of production. In order to establish technical | ||||||
4 | infeasibility or economic unreasonableness under this | ||||||
5 | paragraph (5), the permittee must demonstrate, for each | ||||||
6 | well site on an annual basis, that taking the actions | ||||||
7 | listed in paragraph (4) of this subsection (e) are not cost | ||||||
8 | effective based on a site-specific analysis. Permittees | ||||||
9 | that use a flare during the production phase for operations | ||||||
10 | other than emergency conditions shall file an updated | ||||||
11 | site-specific analysis annually with the Department. The | ||||||
12 | analysis shall be due one year from the date of the | ||||||
13 | previous submission and shall detail whether any changes | ||||||
14 | have occurred that alter the technical infeasibility or | ||||||
15 | economic unreasonableness of the permittee to reduce their | ||||||
16 | emissions in accordance with paragraph (4) of this | ||||||
17 | subsection (e). | ||||||
18 | (6) Uncontrolled emissions exceeding 6 tons per year | ||||||
19 | from storage tanks shall be recovered and routed to a flare | ||||||
20 | that is designed in accordance with 40 CFR 60.18 and is | ||||||
21 | certified by the manufacturer of the device. The permittee | ||||||
22 | shall maintain and operate the flare in accordance with | ||||||
23 | manufacturer specifications. Any flare used under this | ||||||
24 | paragraph must be equipped with a reliable continuous | ||||||
25 | ignition source over the duration of production. | ||||||
26 | (7) The Department may approve an exemption that waives |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the flaring requirements of paragraphs (5) and (6) of this | ||||||
2 | subsection (e) only if the permittee demonstrates that the | ||||||
3 | use of the flare will pose a significant risk of injury or | ||||||
4 | property damage and that alternative methods of collection | ||||||
5 | will not threaten harm to the environment. In determining | ||||||
6 | whether to approve a waiver, the Department shall consider | ||||||
7 | the quantity of casinghead gas produced, the topographical | ||||||
8 | and climatological features at the well site, and the | ||||||
9 | proximity of agricultural structures, crops, inhabited | ||||||
10 | structures, public buildings, and public roads and | ||||||
11 | railways. | ||||||
12 | (8) For each wildcat well, delineation well, or low | ||||||
13 | pressure well, permittees shall be responsible for | ||||||
14 | minimizing the emissions associated with venting of | ||||||
15 | hydrocarbon fluids and natural gas during the flowback | ||||||
16 | period and production phase by capturing and directing the | ||||||
17 | emissions to a completion combustion device during the | ||||||
18 | flowback period and to a flare during the production phase, | ||||||
19 | except in conditions that may result in a fire hazard or | ||||||
20 | explosion, or where high heat emissions from a completion | ||||||
21 | combustion device or flare may negatively impact | ||||||
22 | waterways. Completion combustion devices and flares shall | ||||||
23 | be equipped with a reliable continuous ignition source over | ||||||
24 | the duration of the flowback period and the production | ||||||
25 | phase, as applicable. | ||||||
26 | (9) On or after July 1, 2015, all flares used under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paragraphs (5) and (8) of this subsection (e) shall (i) | ||||||
2 | operate with a combustion efficiency of at least 98% and in | ||||||
3 | accordance with 40 CFR 60.18; and (ii) be certified by the | ||||||
4 | manufacturer of the device. The permittee shall maintain | ||||||
5 | and operate the flare in accordance with manufacturer | ||||||
6 | specifications.
| ||||||
7 | (10) Permittees shall employ practices for control of
| ||||||
8 | fugitive dust related to their operations. These practices | ||||||
9 | shall include, but are not limited to, the use of speed | ||||||
10 | restrictions, regular road maintenance, and restriction of | ||||||
11 | construction activity during high-wind days. Additional | ||||||
12 | management practices such as road surfacing, wind breaks | ||||||
13 | and barriers, or automation of wells to reduce truck | ||||||
14 | traffic may also be required by the Department if | ||||||
15 | technologically feasible and economically reasonable to | ||||||
16 | minimize fugitive dust emissions. | ||||||
17 | (11) Permittees shall record and report to the | ||||||
18 | Department on an annual basis the amount of gas flared or | ||||||
19 | vented from each high volume horizontal hydraulic | ||||||
20 | fracturing well. Three years after the effective date of | ||||||
21 | the first high volume high-volume horizontal hydraulic | ||||||
22 | fracturing well permit issued by the Department, and every | ||||||
23 | 3 years thereafter, the Department shall prepare a report | ||||||
24 | that analyzes the amount of gas that has been flared or | ||||||
25 | vented and make recommendations to the General Assembly on | ||||||
26 | whether steps should be taken to reduce the amount of gas |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that is being flared or vented in this State. | ||||||
2 | (f) High volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations | ||||||
3 | completion report. Within 60 calendar days after the conclusion | ||||||
4 | of high volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations, the | ||||||
5 | operator shall file a high volume horizontal hydraulic | ||||||
6 | fracturing operations completion report with the Department. A | ||||||
7 | copy of each completion report submitted to the Department | ||||||
8 | shall be provided by the Department to the Illinois State | ||||||
9 | Geological Survey. The completion reports required by this | ||||||
10 | Section shall be considered public information and shall be | ||||||
11 | made available on the Department's website. The high volume | ||||||
12 | horizontal hydraulic fracturing operations completion report | ||||||
13 | shall contain the following information: | ||||||

| ||||||
9 | Sec. 1-95. Plugging; restoration. | ||||||
10 | (a) The permittee shall perform and complete plugging of | ||||||
11 | the well and restoration of the well site in accordance with | ||||||
12 | the Illinois Oil and Gas Act and any and all rules adopted | ||||||
13 | thereunder. The permittee shall bear all costs related to | ||||||
14 | plugging of the well and reclamation of the well site. If the | ||||||
15 | permittee fails to plug the well in accordance with this | ||||||
16 | Section, the owner of the well shall be responsible for | ||||||
17 | complying with this Section. | ||||||
18 | (b) Prior to conducting high volume horizontal hydraulic | ||||||
19 | fracturing operations at a well site, the permittee shall cause | ||||||
20 | to be plugged all previously unplugged wellbores well bores | ||||||
21 | within 750 feet of any part of the horizontal wellbore well | ||||||
22 | bore that penetrated within 400 vertical feet of the formation | ||||||
23 | that will be stimulated as part of the high volume horizontal | ||||||
24 | hydraulic fracturing operations. | ||||||
25 | (c) For well sites where high volume horizontal hydraulic |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fracturing operations were permitted to occur, the operator | ||||||
2 | shall restore any lands used by the operator other than the | ||||||
3 | well site and production facility to a condition as closely | ||||||
4 | approximating the pre-drilling conditions that existed before | ||||||
5 | the land was disturbed for any stage of site preparation | ||||||
6 | activities, drilling, and high volume horizontal hydraulic | ||||||
7 | fracturing operations. Restoration shall be commenced within 6 | ||||||
8 | months of completion of the well site and completed within 12 | ||||||
9 | months. Restoration shall include, but is not limited to, | ||||||
10 | repair of tile lines, repair of fences and barriers, mitigation | ||||||
11 | of soil compaction and rutting, application of fertilizer or | ||||||
12 | lime to restore the fertility of disturbed soil, and repair of | ||||||
13 | soil conservation practices such as terraces and grassed | ||||||
14 | waterways. | ||||||
15 | (d) Unless contractually agreed to the contrary by the | ||||||
16 | permittee and surface owner, the permittee shall restore the | ||||||
17 | well site and production facility in accordance with the | ||||||
18 | applicable restoration requirements in subsection (c) of this | ||||||
19 | Section and shall remove all equipment and materials involved | ||||||
20 | in site preparation, drilling, and high volume horizontal | ||||||

prior
| ||||||
26 | thereto.

2 | gaming terminal must
not be
capable of being changed | ||||||
3 | without making a hardware or software change in
the video | ||||||
4 | gaming terminal, either on site or via the central | ||||||
5 | communications system.
| ||||||
6 | (10) Video gaming terminals must be designed so that | ||||||
7 | replacement of
parts or modules required for normal | ||||||
8 | maintenance does not necessitate
replacement of the | ||||||
9 | electromechanical meters.
| ||||||
10 | (11) It must have nonresettable meters housed in a | ||||||
11 | locked area of the
terminal that
keep a permanent record of | ||||||
12 | all cash inserted into the machine, all winnings

14 | terminals, and
credits won by video gaming players. The | ||||||

the means for on-demand | ||||||
16 | display of stored information as determined by the
Board.
| ||||||
17 | (12) Electronically stored meter information required | ||||||

to provide
auditing program information as approved | ||||||
9 | by the Board. The central communications system shall use a | ||||||
10 | standard industry protocol, as defined by the Gaming | ||||||
11 | Standards Association, and shall have the functionality to | ||||||
12 | enable the Board or its designee to activate or deactivate | ||||||
13 | individual gaming devices from the central communications | ||||||
14 | system. In no event may the
communications system approved | ||||||
15 | by the Board limit participation to only one
manufacturer | ||||||
16 | of video gaming terminals by either the cost in | ||||||
17 | implementing
the necessary program modifications to | ||||||
18 | communicate or the inability to
communicate with the | ||||||
19 | central communications system.
| ||||||
20 | (16) The Board, in its discretion, may require video | ||||||
21 | gaming terminals to display Amber Alert messages if the | ||||||
22 | Board makes a finding that it would be economically and | ||||||
23 | technically feasible and pose no risk to the integrity and | ||||||
24 | security of the central communications system and video | ||||||
25 | gaming terminals.
| ||||||
26 | The Board may adopt rules to establish additional criteria |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to preserve the integrity and security of video gaming in this | ||||||
2 | State. The central communications system vendor may be licensed | ||||||
3 | as a video gaming terminal manufacturer or a video gaming | ||||||
4 | terminal distributor, or both, but in no event shall the | ||||||
5 | central communications system vendor be licensed as a video | ||||||
6 | gaming terminal operator. | ||||||
7 | The Board shall not permit the development of information | ||||||
8 | or the use by any licensee of gaming device or individual game | ||||||
9 | performance data. Nothing in this Act shall inhibit or prohibit | ||||||
10 | the Board from the use of gaming device or individual game | ||||||
11 | performance data in its regulatory duties. The Board shall | ||||||
12 | adopt rules to ensure that all licensees are treated and all | ||||||
13 | licensees act in a non-discriminatory manner and develop | ||||||
14 | processes and penalties to enforce those rules. | ||||||

| ||||||
8 | For purposes of this subsection (g), "individual" includes | ||||||
9 | all individuals or their spouses whose combined interest would | ||||||
10 | qualify as a substantial interest under this subsection (g) and | ||||||
11 | whose activities with respect to an organization, association, | ||||||
12 | or business are so closely aligned or coordinated as to | ||||||
13 | constitute the activities of a single entity. | ||||||
14 | (h) Location restriction. A licensed establishment, | ||||||
15 | licensed truck stop establishment, licensed
fraternal
| ||||||
16 | establishment, or licensed veterans establishment that is (i) | ||||||
17 | located within 1,000
feet of a facility operated by an | ||||||

8 | subsection, "school" means an elementary or secondary public | ||||||

13 | licensed truck stop establishment, licensed fraternal | ||||||
14 | establishment, or licensed veterans establishment not be | ||||||
15 | located within 1,000 feet from a facility operated by an | ||||||
16 | organization licensee or licensed under the Illinois Horse | ||||||
17 | Racing Act of 1975 or the home dock of a riverboat licensed | ||||||
18 | under the Riverboat Gambling Act. The Board shall not grant | ||||||

25 | considering all other requirements under this Act, in deciding | ||||||
26 | whether to approve the operation of video gaming terminals by a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | terminal operator in a location, the Board shall consider the | ||||||
2 | impact of any economic concentration of such operation of video | ||||||
3 | gaming terminals. The Board shall not allow a terminal operator | ||||||
4 | to operate video gaming terminals if the Board determines such | ||||||
5 | operation will result in undue economic concentration. For | ||||||
6 | purposes of this Section, "undue economic concentration" means | ||||||
7 | that a terminal operator would have such actual or potential | ||||||
8 | influence over video gaming terminals in Illinois as to: | ||||||
9 | (1) substantially impede or suppress competition among | ||||||

11 | (2) adversely impact the economic stability of the | ||||||
12 | video gaming industry in Illinois; or | ||||||
13 | (3) negatively impact the purposes of the Video Gaming | ||||||
14 | Act. | ||||||

16 | concentration with respect to the operation of video gaming | ||||||
17 | terminals in Illinois. The rules shall include, but not be | ||||||
18 | limited to, (i) limitations on the number of video gaming | ||||||
19 | terminals operated by any terminal operator within a defined | ||||||
20 | geographic radius and (ii) guidelines on the discontinuation of | ||||||
21 | operation of any such video gaming terminals the Board | ||||||
22 | determines will cause undue economic concentration.
| ||||||
23 | (j) The provisions of the Illinois Antitrust Act are fully | ||||||
24 | and equally applicable to the activities of any licensee under | ||||||
25 | this Act.

19 | purposes" means that the person has been convicted of any | ||||||
20 | violation of Article 28 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
21 | Criminal Code of 2012. If there is pending legal action against | ||||||
22 | a person for any such violation, then the Board shall delay the | ||||||

9 | dentistry or dental surgery; for purposes of this item (10), | ||||||
10 | "dental services" means diagnostic, preventive, or corrective | ||||||
11 | procedures provided by or under the supervision of a dentist in | ||||||
12 | the practice of his or her profession; (11) physical therapy | ||||||
13 | and related
services; (12) prescribed drugs, dentures, and | ||||||

20 | co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders is | ||||||
21 | determined using a uniform screening, assessment, and | ||||||
22 | evaluation process inclusive of criteria, for children and | ||||||
23 | adults; for purposes of this item (13), a uniform screening, | ||||||

25 | includes an appropriate evaluation and, as warranted, a | ||||||
26 | referral; "uniform" does not mean the use of a singular |

13 | physician,
such procedures are necessary for the preservation | ||||||
14 | of the life of the
woman seeking such treatment, or except an | ||||||
15 | induced premature birth
intended to produce a live viable child | ||||||
16 | and such procedure is necessary
for the health of the mother or | ||||||
17 | her unborn child. The Illinois Department,
by rule, shall | ||||||
18 | prohibit any physician from providing medical assistance
to | ||||||
19 | anyone eligible therefor under this Code where such physician | ||||||
20 | has been
found guilty of performing an abortion procedure in a | ||||||
21 | wilful and wanton
manner upon a woman who was not pregnant at | ||||||
22 | the time such abortion
procedure was performed. The term "any | ||||||
23 | other type of remedial care" shall
include nursing care and | ||||||
24 | nursing home service for persons who rely on
treatment by | ||||||
25 | spiritual means alone through prayer for healing.
| ||||||
26 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | comprehensive
tobacco use cessation program that includes | ||||||
2 | purchasing prescription drugs or
prescription medical devices | ||||||
3 | approved by the Food and Drug Administration shall
be covered | ||||||
4 | under the medical assistance
program under this Article for | ||||||
5 | persons who are otherwise eligible for
assistance under this | ||||||
6 | Article.
| ||||||
7 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
8 | Illinois
Department may not require, as a condition of payment | ||||||
9 | for any laboratory
test authorized under this Article, that a | ||||||
10 | physician's handwritten signature
appear on the laboratory | ||||||
11 | test order form. The Illinois Department may,
however, impose | ||||||
12 | other appropriate requirements regarding laboratory test
order | ||||||
13 | documentation.
| ||||||
14 | On and after July 1, 2012, the Department of Healthcare and | ||||||
15 | Family Services may provide the following services to
persons
| ||||||
16 | eligible for assistance under this Article who are | ||||||
17 | participating in
education, training or employment programs | ||||||
18 | operated by the Department of Human
Services as successor to | ||||||
19 | the Department of Public Aid:
| ||||||
20 | (1) dental services provided by or under the | ||||||
21 | supervision of a dentist; and
| ||||||
22 | (2) eyeglasses prescribed by a physician skilled in the | ||||||
23 | diseases of the
eye, or by an optometrist, whichever the | ||||||
24 | person may select.
| ||||||
25 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code and | ||||||
26 | subject to federal approval, the Department may adopt rules to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | allow a dentist who is volunteering his or her service at no | ||||||
2 | cost to render dental services through an enrolled | ||||||
3 | not-for-profit health clinic without the dentist personally | ||||||
4 | enrolling as a participating provider in the medical assistance | ||||||
5 | program. A not-for-profit health clinic shall include a public | ||||||
6 | health clinic or Federally Qualified Health Center or other | ||||||
7 | enrolled provider, as determined by the Department, through | ||||||
8 | which dental services covered under this Section are performed. | ||||||
9 | The Department shall establish a process for payment of claims | ||||||
10 | for reimbursement for covered dental services rendered under | ||||||
11 | this provision. | ||||||
12 | The Illinois Department, by rule, may distinguish and | ||||||
13 | classify the
medical services to be provided only in accordance | ||||||
14 | with the classes of
persons designated in Section 5-2.
| ||||||
15 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services must | ||||||
16 | provide coverage and reimbursement for amino acid-based | ||||||
17 | elemental formulas, regardless of delivery method, for the | ||||||
18 | diagnosis and treatment of (i) eosinophilic disorders and (ii) | ||||||
19 | short bowel syndrome when the prescribing physician has issued | ||||||
20 | a written order stating that the amino acid-based elemental | ||||||
21 | formula is medically necessary.
| ||||||
22 | The Illinois Department shall authorize the provision of, | ||||||
23 | and shall
authorize payment for, screening by low-dose | ||||||
24 | mammography for the presence of
occult breast cancer for women | ||||||
25 | 35 years of age or older who are eligible
for medical | ||||||
26 | assistance under this Article, as follows: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (A) A baseline
mammogram for women 35 to 39 years of | ||||||
2 | age.
| ||||||
3 | (B) An annual mammogram for women 40 years of age or | ||||||
4 | older. | ||||||
5 | (C) A mammogram at the age and intervals considered | ||||||
6 | medically necessary by the woman's health care provider for | ||||||
7 | women under 40 years of age and having a family history of | ||||||
8 | breast cancer, prior personal history of breast cancer, | ||||||
9 | positive genetic testing, or other risk factors. | ||||||
10 | (D) A comprehensive ultrasound screening of an entire | ||||||
11 | breast or breasts if a mammogram demonstrates | ||||||
12 | heterogeneous or dense breast tissue, when medically | ||||||
13 | necessary as determined by a physician licensed to practice | ||||||
14 | medicine in all of its branches. | ||||||
15 | All screenings
shall
include a physical breast exam, | ||||||
16 | instruction on self-examination and
information regarding the | ||||||
17 | frequency of self-examination and its value as a
preventative | ||||||
18 | tool. For purposes of this Section, "low-dose mammography" | ||||||
19 | means
the x-ray examination of the breast using equipment | ||||||
20 | dedicated specifically
for mammography, including the x-ray | ||||||
21 | tube, filter, compression device,
and image receptor, with an | ||||||
22 | average radiation exposure delivery
of less than one rad per | ||||||
23 | breast for 2 views of an average size breast.
The term also | ||||||
24 | includes digital mammography.
| ||||||
25 | On and after January 1, 2012, providers participating in a | ||||||
26 | quality improvement program approved by the Department shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reimbursed for screening and diagnostic mammography at the same | ||||||
2 | rate as the Medicare program's rates, including the increased | ||||||
3 | reimbursement for digital mammography. | ||||||
4 | The Department shall convene an expert panel including | ||||||
5 | representatives of hospitals, free-standing mammography | ||||||
6 | facilities, and doctors, including radiologists, to establish | ||||||
7 | quality standards. | ||||||
8 | Subject to federal approval, the Department shall | ||||||
9 | establish a rate methodology for mammography at federally | ||||||
10 | qualified health centers and other encounter-rate clinics. | ||||||
11 | These clinics or centers may also collaborate with other | ||||||
12 | hospital-based mammography facilities. | ||||||
13 | The Department shall establish a methodology to remind | ||||||
14 | women who are age-appropriate for screening mammography, but | ||||||
15 | who have not received a mammogram within the previous 18 | ||||||
16 | months, of the importance and benefit of screening mammography. | ||||||
17 | The Department shall establish a performance goal for | ||||||
18 | primary care providers with respect to their female patients | ||||||
19 | over age 40 receiving an annual mammogram. This performance | ||||||
20 | goal shall be used to provide additional reimbursement in the | ||||||
21 | form of a quality performance bonus to primary care providers | ||||||
22 | who meet that goal. | ||||||
23 | The Department shall devise a means of case-managing or | ||||||
24 | patient navigation for beneficiaries diagnosed with breast | ||||||
25 | cancer. This program shall initially operate as a pilot program | ||||||
26 | in areas of the State with the highest incidence of mortality |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | related to breast cancer. At least one pilot program site shall | ||||||
2 | be in the metropolitan Chicago area and at least one site shall | ||||||
3 | be outside the metropolitan Chicago area. An evaluation of the | ||||||
4 | pilot program shall be carried out measuring health outcomes | ||||||
5 | and cost of care for those served by the pilot program compared | ||||||
6 | to similarly situated patients who are not served by the pilot | ||||||
7 | program. | ||||||
8 | Any medical or health care provider shall immediately | ||||||
9 | recommend, to
any pregnant woman who is being provided prenatal | ||||||
10 | services and is suspected
of drug abuse or is addicted as | ||||||
11 | defined in the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse
and Dependency | ||||||
12 | Act, referral to a local substance abuse treatment provider
| ||||||
13 | licensed by the Department of Human Services or to a licensed
| ||||||
14 | hospital which provides substance abuse treatment services. | ||||||
15 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services
shall assure | ||||||
16 | coverage for the cost of treatment of the drug abuse or
| ||||||
17 | addiction for pregnant recipients in accordance with the | ||||||
18 | Illinois Medicaid
Program in conjunction with the Department of | ||||||
19 | Human Services.
| ||||||
20 | All medical providers providing medical assistance to | ||||||
21 | pregnant women
under this Code shall receive information from | ||||||
22 | the Department on the
availability of services under the Drug | ||||||
23 | Free Families with a Future or any
comparable program providing | ||||||
24 | case management services for addicted women,
including | ||||||
25 | information on appropriate referrals for other social services
| ||||||
26 | that may be needed by addicted women in addition to treatment |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for addiction.
| ||||||
2 | The Illinois Department, in cooperation with the | ||||||
3 | Departments of Human
Services (as successor to the Department | ||||||
4 | of Alcoholism and Substance
Abuse) and Public Health, through a | ||||||
5 | public awareness campaign, may
provide information concerning | ||||||
6 | treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse and
addiction, prenatal | ||||||
7 | health care, and other pertinent programs directed at
reducing | ||||||
8 | the number of drug-affected infants born to recipients of | ||||||
9 | medical
assistance.
| ||||||
10 | Neither the Department of Healthcare and Family Services | ||||||
11 | nor the Department of Human
Services shall sanction the | ||||||
12 | recipient solely on the basis of
her substance abuse.
| ||||||
13 | The Illinois Department shall establish such regulations | ||||||
14 | governing
the dispensing of health services under this Article | ||||||
15 | as it shall deem
appropriate. The Department
should
seek the | ||||||
16 | advice of formal professional advisory committees appointed by
| ||||||
17 | the Director of the Illinois Department for the purpose of | ||||||
18 | providing regular
advice on policy and administrative matters, | ||||||
19 | information dissemination and
educational activities for | ||||||
20 | medical and health care providers, and
consistency in | ||||||
21 | procedures to the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
22 | The Illinois Department may develop and contract with | ||||||
23 | Partnerships of
medical providers to arrange medical services | ||||||
24 | for persons eligible under
Section 5-2 of this Code. | ||||||
25 | Implementation of this Section may be by
demonstration projects | ||||||
26 | in certain geographic areas. The Partnership shall
be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | represented by a sponsor organization. The Department, by rule, | ||||||
2 | shall
develop qualifications for sponsors of Partnerships. | ||||||
3 | Nothing in this
Section shall be construed to require that the | ||||||
4 | sponsor organization be a
medical organization.
| ||||||
5 | The sponsor must negotiate formal written contracts with | ||||||
6 | medical
providers for physician services, inpatient and | ||||||
7 | outpatient hospital care,
home health services, treatment for | ||||||
8 | alcoholism and substance abuse, and
other services determined | ||||||
9 | necessary by the Illinois Department by rule for
delivery by | ||||||
10 | Partnerships. Physician services must include prenatal and
| ||||||
11 | obstetrical care. The Illinois Department shall reimburse | ||||||
12 | medical services
delivered by Partnership providers to clients | ||||||
13 | in target areas according to
provisions of this Article and the | ||||||
14 | Illinois Health Finance Reform Act,
except that:
| ||||||
15 | (1) Physicians participating in a Partnership and | ||||||
16 | providing certain
services, which shall be determined by | ||||||
17 | the Illinois Department, to persons
in areas covered by the | ||||||
18 | Partnership may receive an additional surcharge
for such | ||||||
19 | services.
| ||||||
20 | (2) The Department may elect to consider and negotiate | ||||||
21 | financial
incentives to encourage the development of | ||||||
22 | Partnerships and the efficient
delivery of medical care.
| ||||||
23 | (3) Persons receiving medical services through | ||||||
24 | Partnerships may receive
medical and case management | ||||||
25 | services above the level usually offered
through the | ||||||
26 | medical assistance program.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Medical providers shall be required to meet certain | ||||||
2 | qualifications to
participate in Partnerships to ensure the | ||||||
3 | delivery of high quality medical
services. These | ||||||
4 | qualifications shall be determined by rule of the Illinois
| ||||||
5 | Department and may be higher than qualifications for | ||||||
6 | participation in the
medical assistance program. Partnership | ||||||
7 | sponsors may prescribe reasonable
additional qualifications | ||||||
8 | for participation by medical providers, only with
the prior | ||||||
9 | written approval of the Illinois Department.
| ||||||
10 | Nothing in this Section shall limit the free choice of | ||||||
11 | practitioners,
hospitals, and other providers of medical | ||||||
12 | services by clients.
In order to ensure patient freedom of | ||||||
13 | choice, the Illinois Department shall
immediately promulgate | ||||||
14 | all rules and take all other necessary actions so that
provided | ||||||
15 | services may be accessed from therapeutically certified | ||||||
16 | optometrists
to the full extent of the Illinois Optometric | ||||||
17 | Practice Act of 1987 without
discriminating between service | ||||||
18 | providers.
| ||||||
19 | The Department shall apply for a waiver from the United | ||||||
20 | States Health
Care Financing Administration to allow for the | ||||||
21 | implementation of
Partnerships under this Section.
| ||||||
22 | The Illinois Department shall require health care | ||||||
23 | providers to maintain
records that document the medical care | ||||||
24 | and services provided to recipients
of Medical Assistance under | ||||||
25 | this Article. Such records must be retained for a period of not | ||||||
26 | less than 6 years from the date of service or as provided by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | applicable State law, whichever period is longer, except that | ||||||
2 | if an audit is initiated within the required retention period | ||||||
3 | then the records must be retained until the audit is completed | ||||||
4 | and every exception is resolved. The Illinois Department shall
| ||||||
5 | require health care providers to make available, when | ||||||
6 | authorized by the
patient, in writing, the medical records in a | ||||||
7 | timely fashion to other
health care providers who are treating | ||||||
8 | or serving persons eligible for
Medical Assistance under this | ||||||
9 | Article. All dispensers of medical services
shall be required | ||||||
10 | to maintain and retain business and professional records
| ||||||
11 | sufficient to fully and accurately document the nature, scope, | ||||||
12 | details and
receipt of the health care provided to persons | ||||||
13 | eligible for medical
assistance under this Code, in accordance | ||||||
14 | with regulations promulgated by
the Illinois Department. The | ||||||
15 | rules and regulations shall require that proof
of the receipt | ||||||
16 | of prescription drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and
| ||||||
17 | eyeglasses by eligible persons under this Section accompany | ||||||
18 | each claim
for reimbursement submitted by the dispenser of such | ||||||
19 | medical services.
No such claims for reimbursement shall be | ||||||
20 | approved for payment by the Illinois
Department without such | ||||||
21 | proof of receipt, unless the Illinois Department
shall have put | ||||||
22 | into effect and shall be operating a system of post-payment
| ||||||
23 | audit and review which shall, on a sampling basis, be deemed | ||||||
24 | adequate by
the Illinois Department to assure that such drugs, | ||||||
25 | dentures, prosthetic
devices and eyeglasses for which payment | ||||||
26 | is being made are actually being
received by eligible |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | recipients. Within 90 days after the effective date of
this | ||||||
2 | amendatory Act of 1984, the Illinois Department shall establish | ||||||
3 | a
current list of acquisition costs for all prosthetic devices | ||||||
4 | and any
other items recognized as medical equipment and | ||||||
5 | supplies reimbursable under
this Article and shall update such | ||||||
6 | list on a quarterly basis, except that
the acquisition costs of | ||||||
7 | all prescription drugs shall be updated no
less frequently than | ||||||
8 | every 30 days as required by Section 5-5.12.
| ||||||
9 | The rules and regulations of the Illinois Department shall | ||||||
10 | require
that a written statement including the required opinion | ||||||
11 | of a physician
shall accompany any claim for reimbursement for | ||||||
12 | abortions, or induced
miscarriages or premature births. This | ||||||
13 | statement shall indicate what
procedures were used in providing | ||||||
14 | such medical services.
| ||||||
15 | Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the Illinois | ||||||
16 | Department shall, within 365 days after July 22, 2013 ( the | ||||||
17 | effective date of Public Act 98-104) this amendatory Act of the | ||||||
18 | 98th General Assembly , establish procedures to permit skilled | ||||||
19 | care facilities licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act to | ||||||
20 | submit monthly billing claims for reimbursement purposes. | ||||||
21 | Following development of these procedures, the Department | ||||||
22 | shall have an additional 365 days to test the viability of the | ||||||
23 | new system and to ensure that any necessary operational or | ||||||
24 | structural changes to its information technology platforms are | ||||||
25 | implemented. | ||||||
26 | The Illinois Department shall require all dispensers of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | medical
services, other than an individual practitioner or | ||||||
2 | group of practitioners,
desiring to participate in the Medical | ||||||
3 | Assistance program
established under this Article to disclose | ||||||
4 | all financial, beneficial,
ownership, equity, surety or other | ||||||
5 | interests in any and all firms,
corporations, partnerships, | ||||||
6 | associations, business enterprises, joint
ventures, agencies, | ||||||
7 | institutions or other legal entities providing any
form of | ||||||
8 | health care services in this State under this Article.
| ||||||
9 | The Illinois Department may require that all dispensers of | ||||||
10 | medical
services desiring to participate in the medical | ||||||
11 | assistance program
established under this Article disclose, | ||||||
12 | under such terms and conditions as
the Illinois Department may | ||||||
13 | by rule establish, all inquiries from clients
and attorneys | ||||||
14 | regarding medical bills paid by the Illinois Department, which
| ||||||
15 | inquiries could indicate potential existence of claims or liens | ||||||
16 | for the
Illinois Department.
| ||||||
17 | Enrollment of a vendor
shall be
subject to a provisional | ||||||
18 | period and shall be conditional for one year. During the period | ||||||
19 | of conditional enrollment, the Department may
terminate the | ||||||
20 | vendor's eligibility to participate in, or may disenroll the | ||||||
21 | vendor from, the medical assistance
program without cause. | ||||||
22 | Unless otherwise specified, such termination of eligibility or | ||||||
23 | disenrollment is not subject to the
Department's hearing | ||||||
24 | process.
However, a disenrolled vendor may reapply without | ||||||
25 | penalty.
| ||||||
26 | The Department has the discretion to limit the conditional |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | enrollment period for vendors based upon category of risk of | ||||||
2 | the vendor. | ||||||
3 | Prior to enrollment and during the conditional enrollment | ||||||
4 | period in the medical assistance program, all vendors shall be | ||||||
5 | subject to enhanced oversight, screening, and review based on | ||||||
6 | the risk of fraud, waste, and abuse that is posed by the | ||||||
7 | category of risk of the vendor. The Illinois Department shall | ||||||
8 | establish the procedures for oversight, screening, and review, | ||||||
9 | which may include, but need not be limited to: criminal and | ||||||
10 | financial background checks; fingerprinting; license, | ||||||
11 | certification, and authorization verifications; unscheduled or | ||||||
12 | unannounced site visits; database checks; prepayment audit | ||||||
13 | reviews; audits; payment caps; payment suspensions; and other | ||||||
14 | screening as required by federal or State law. | ||||||
15 | The Department shall define or specify the following: (i) | ||||||
16 | by provider notice, the "category of risk of the vendor" for | ||||||
17 | each type of vendor, which shall take into account the level of | ||||||
18 | screening applicable to a particular category of vendor under | ||||||
19 | federal law and regulations; (ii) by rule or provider notice, | ||||||
20 | the maximum length of the conditional enrollment period for | ||||||
21 | each category of risk of the vendor; and (iii) by rule, the | ||||||
22 | hearing rights, if any, afforded to a vendor in each category | ||||||
23 | of risk of the vendor that is terminated or disenrolled during | ||||||
24 | the conditional enrollment period. | ||||||
25 | To be eligible for payment consideration, a vendor's | ||||||
26 | payment claim or bill, either as an initial claim or as a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | resubmitted claim following prior rejection, must be received | ||||||
2 | by the Illinois Department, or its fiscal intermediary, no | ||||||
3 | later than 180 days after the latest date on the claim on which | ||||||
4 | medical goods or services were provided, with the following | ||||||
5 | exceptions: | ||||||
6 | (1) In the case of a provider whose enrollment is in | ||||||
7 | process by the Illinois Department, the 180-day period | ||||||
8 | shall not begin until the date on the written notice from | ||||||
9 | the Illinois Department that the provider enrollment is | ||||||
10 | complete. | ||||||
11 | (2) In the case of errors attributable to the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Department or any of its claims processing intermediaries | ||||||
13 | which result in an inability to receive, process, or | ||||||
14 | adjudicate a claim, the 180-day period shall not begin | ||||||
15 | until the provider has been notified of the error. | ||||||
16 | (3) In the case of a provider for whom the Illinois | ||||||
17 | Department initiates the monthly billing process. | ||||||
18 | (4) In the case of a provider operated by a unit of | ||||||
19 | local government with a population exceeding 3,000,000 | ||||||
20 | when local government funds finance federal participation | ||||||
21 | for claims payments. | ||||||
22 | For claims for services rendered during a period for which | ||||||
23 | a recipient received retroactive eligibility, claims must be | ||||||
24 | filed within 180 days after the Department determines the | ||||||
25 | applicant is eligible. For claims for which the Illinois | ||||||
26 | Department is not the primary payer, claims must be submitted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to the Illinois Department within 180 days after the final | ||||||
2 | adjudication by the primary payer. | ||||||
3 | In the case of long term care facilities, admission | ||||||
4 | documents shall be submitted within 30 days of an admission to | ||||||
5 | the facility through the Medical Electronic Data Interchange | ||||||
6 | (MEDI) or the Recipient Eligibility Verification (REV) System, | ||||||
7 | or shall be submitted directly to the Department of Human | ||||||
8 | Services using required admission forms. Confirmation numbers | ||||||
9 | assigned to an accepted transaction shall be retained by a | ||||||
10 | facility to verify timely submittal. Once an admission | ||||||
11 | transaction has been completed, all resubmitted claims | ||||||
12 | following prior rejection are subject to receipt no later than | ||||||
13 | 180 days after the admission transaction has been completed. | ||||||
14 | Claims that are not submitted and received in compliance | ||||||
15 | with the foregoing requirements shall not be eligible for | ||||||
16 | payment under the medical assistance program, and the State | ||||||
17 | shall have no liability for payment of those claims. | ||||||
18 | To the extent consistent with applicable information and | ||||||
19 | privacy, security, and disclosure laws, State and federal | ||||||
20 | agencies and departments shall provide the Illinois Department | ||||||
21 | access to confidential and other information and data necessary | ||||||
22 | to perform eligibility and payment verifications and other | ||||||
23 | Illinois Department functions. This includes, but is not | ||||||
24 | limited to: information pertaining to licensure; | ||||||
25 | certification; earnings; immigration status; citizenship; wage | ||||||
26 | reporting; unearned and earned income; pension income; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | employment; supplemental security income; social security | ||||||
2 | numbers; National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers; the | ||||||
3 | National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB); program and agency | ||||||
4 | exclusions; taxpayer identification numbers; tax delinquency; | ||||||
5 | corporate information; and death records. | ||||||
6 | The Illinois Department shall enter into agreements with | ||||||
7 | State agencies and departments, and is authorized to enter into | ||||||
8 | agreements with federal agencies and departments, under which | ||||||
9 | such agencies and departments shall share data necessary for | ||||||
10 | medical assistance program integrity functions and oversight. | ||||||
11 | The Illinois Department shall develop, in cooperation with | ||||||
12 | other State departments and agencies, and in compliance with | ||||||
13 | applicable federal laws and regulations, appropriate and | ||||||
14 | effective methods to share such data. At a minimum, and to the | ||||||
15 | extent necessary to provide data sharing, the Illinois | ||||||
16 | Department shall enter into agreements with State agencies and | ||||||
17 | departments, and is authorized to enter into agreements with | ||||||
18 | federal agencies and departments, including but not limited to: | ||||||
19 | the Secretary of State; the Department of Revenue; the | ||||||
20 | Department of Public Health; the Department of Human Services; | ||||||
21 | and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. | ||||||
22 | Beginning in fiscal year 2013, the Illinois Department | ||||||
23 | shall set forth a request for information to identify the | ||||||
24 | benefits of a pre-payment, post-adjudication, and post-edit | ||||||
25 | claims system with the goals of streamlining claims processing | ||||||
26 | and provider reimbursement, reducing the number of pending or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | rejected claims, and helping to ensure a more transparent | ||||||
2 | adjudication process through the utilization of: (i) provider | ||||||
3 | data verification and provider screening technology; and (ii) | ||||||
4 | clinical code editing; and (iii) pre-pay, pre- or | ||||||
5 | post-adjudicated predictive modeling with an integrated case | ||||||
6 | management system with link analysis. Such a request for | ||||||
7 | information shall not be considered as a request for proposal | ||||||
8 | or as an obligation on the part of the Illinois Department to | ||||||
9 | take any action or acquire any products or services. | ||||||
10 | The Illinois Department shall establish policies, | ||||||
11 | procedures,
standards and criteria by rule for the acquisition, | ||||||
12 | repair and replacement
of orthotic and prosthetic devices and | ||||||
13 | durable medical equipment. Such
rules shall provide, but not be | ||||||
14 | limited to, the following services: (1)
immediate repair or | ||||||
15 | replacement of such devices by recipients; and (2) rental, | ||||||
16 | lease, purchase or lease-purchase of
durable medical equipment | ||||||
17 | in a cost-effective manner, taking into
consideration the | ||||||
18 | recipient's medical prognosis, the extent of the
recipient's | ||||||
19 | needs, and the requirements and costs for maintaining such
| ||||||
20 | equipment. Subject to prior approval, such rules shall enable a | ||||||
21 | recipient to temporarily acquire and
use alternative or | ||||||
22 | substitute devices or equipment pending repairs or
| ||||||
23 | replacements of any device or equipment previously authorized | ||||||
24 | for such
recipient by the Department.
| ||||||
25 | The Department shall execute, relative to the nursing home | ||||||
26 | prescreening
project, written inter-agency agreements with the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department of Human
Services and the Department on Aging, to | ||||||
2 | effect the following: (i) intake
procedures and common | ||||||
3 | eligibility criteria for those persons who are receiving
| ||||||
4 | non-institutional services; and (ii) the establishment and | ||||||
5 | development of
non-institutional services in areas of the State | ||||||
6 | where they are not currently
available or are undeveloped; and | ||||||
7 | (iii) notwithstanding any other provision of law, subject to | ||||||
8 | federal approval, on and after July 1, 2012, an increase in the | ||||||
9 | determination of need (DON) scores from 29 to 37 for applicants | ||||||
10 | for institutional and home and community-based long term care; | ||||||
11 | if and only if federal approval is not granted, the Department | ||||||
12 | may, in conjunction with other affected agencies, implement | ||||||
13 | utilization controls or changes in benefit packages to | ||||||
14 | effectuate a similar savings amount for this population; and | ||||||
15 | (iv) no later than July 1, 2013, minimum level of care | ||||||
16 | eligibility criteria for institutional and home and | ||||||
17 | community-based long term care; and (v) no later than October | ||||||
18 | 1, 2013, establish procedures to permit long term care | ||||||
19 | providers access to eligibility scores for individuals with an | ||||||
20 | admission date who are seeking or receiving services from the | ||||||
21 | long term care provider. In order to select the minimum level | ||||||
22 | of care eligibility criteria, the Governor shall establish a | ||||||
23 | workgroup that includes affected agency representatives and | ||||||
24 | stakeholders representing the institutional and home and | ||||||
25 | community-based long term care interests. This Section shall | ||||||
26 | not restrict the Department from implementing lower level of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | care eligibility criteria for community-based services in | ||||||
2 | circumstances where federal approval has been granted.
| ||||||
3 | The Illinois Department shall develop and operate, in | ||||||
4 | cooperation
with other State Departments and agencies and in | ||||||
5 | compliance with
applicable federal laws and regulations, | ||||||
6 | appropriate and effective
systems of health care evaluation and | ||||||
7 | programs for monitoring of
utilization of health care services | ||||||
8 | and facilities, as it affects
persons eligible for medical | ||||||
9 | assistance under this Code.
| ||||||
10 | The Illinois Department shall report annually to the | ||||||
11 | General Assembly,
no later than the second Friday in April of | ||||||
12 | 1979 and each year
thereafter, in regard to:
| ||||||
13 | (a) actual statistics and trends in utilization of | ||||||

| ||||||
17 | (c) current rate structures and proposed changes in | ||||||
18 | those rate structures
for the various medical vendors; and
| ||||||
19 | (d) efforts at utilization review and control by the | ||||||
20 | Illinois Department.
| ||||||
21 | The period covered by each report shall be the 3 years | ||||||
22 | ending on the June
30 prior to the report. The report shall | ||||||
23 | include suggested legislation
for consideration by the General | ||||||
24 | Assembly. The filing of one copy of the
report with the | ||||||
25 | Speaker, one copy with the Minority Leader and one copy
with | ||||||

| ||||||
6 | Library Act shall be deemed sufficient to comply with this | ||||||
7 | Section.
| ||||||
8 | Rulemaking authority to implement Public Act 95-1045, if | ||||||
9 | any, is conditioned on the rules being adopted in accordance | ||||||
10 | with all provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure | ||||||
11 | Act and all rules and procedures of the Joint Committee on | ||||||
12 | Administrative Rules; any purported rule not so adopted, for | ||||||
13 | whatever reason, is unauthorized. | ||||||
14 | On and after July 1, 2012, the Department shall reduce any | ||||||
15 | rate of reimbursement for services or other payments or alter | ||||||
16 | any methodologies authorized by this Code to reduce any rate of | ||||||
17 | reimbursement for services or other payments in accordance with | ||||||
18 | Section 5-5e. | ||||||

|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) All nursing facilities that are grouped pursuant to | ||||||
2 | Section
5-5.1 of this Act shall receive the same rate of | ||||||
3 | payment for similar
services.
| ||||||
4 | (b) It shall be a matter of State policy that the Illinois | ||||||
5 | Department
shall utilize a uniform billing cycle throughout the | ||||||
6 | State for the
long-term care providers.
| ||||||
7 | (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code, the | ||||||
8 | methodologies for reimbursement of nursing services as | ||||||
9 | provided under this Article shall no longer be applicable for | ||||||
10 | bills payable for nursing services rendered on or after a new | ||||||
11 | reimbursement system based on the Resource Utilization Groups | ||||||
12 | (RUGs) has been fully operationalized, which shall take effect | ||||||
13 | for services provided on or after January 1, 2014. | ||||||
14 | (d) The new nursing services reimbursement methodology | ||||||
15 | utilizing RUG-IV 48 grouper model, which shall be referred to | ||||||
16 | as the RUGs reimbursement system, taking effect January 1, | ||||||
17 | 2014, shall be based on the following: | ||||||
18 | (1) The methodology shall be resident-driven, | ||||||
19 | facility-specific, and cost-based. | ||||||
20 | (2) Costs shall be annually rebased and case mix index | ||||||
21 | quarterly updated. The nursing services methodology will | ||||||
22 | be assigned to the Medicaid enrolled residents on record as | ||||||
23 | of 30 days prior to the beginning of the rate period in the | ||||||
24 | Department's Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) | ||||||
25 | as present on the last day of the second quarter preceding | ||||||
26 | the rate period. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) Regional wage adjustors based on the Health Service | ||||||
2 | Areas (HSA) groupings and adjusters in effect on April 30, | ||||||
3 | 2012 shall be included. | ||||||
4 | (4) Case mix index shall be assigned to each resident | ||||||
5 | class based on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid | ||||||
6 | Services staff time measurement study in effect on July 1, | ||||||
7 | 2013, utilizing an index maximization approach. | ||||||
8 | (5) The pool of funds available for distribution by | ||||||
9 | case mix and the base facility rate shall be determined | ||||||
10 | using the formula contained in subsection (d-1). | ||||||
11 | (d-1) Calculation of base year Statewide RUG-IV nursing | ||||||
12 | base per diem rate. | ||||||
13 | (1) Base rate spending pool shall be: | ||||||
14 | (A) The base year resident days which are | ||||||
15 | calculated by multiplying the number of Medicaid | ||||||
16 | residents in each nursing home as indicated in the MDS | ||||||
17 | data defined in paragraph (4) by 365. | ||||||
18 | (B) Each facility's nursing component per diem in | ||||||
19 | effect on July 1, 2012 shall be multiplied by | ||||||
20 | subsection (A). | ||||||
21 | (C) Thirteen million is added to the product of | ||||||
22 | subparagraph (A) and subparagraph (B) to adjust for the | ||||||
23 | exclusion of nursing homes defined in paragraph (5). | ||||||
24 | (2) For each nursing home with Medicaid residents as | ||||||
25 | indicated by the MDS data defined in paragraph (4), | ||||||
26 | weighted days adjusted for case mix and regional wage |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | adjustment shall be calculated. For each home this | ||||||
2 | calculation is the product of: | ||||||
3 | (A) Base year resident days as calculated in | ||||||
4 | subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1). | ||||||
5 | (B) The nursing home's regional wage adjustor | ||||||
6 | based on the Health Service Areas (HSA) groupings and | ||||||
7 | adjustors in effect on April 30, 2012. | ||||||
8 | (C) Facility weighted case mix which is the number | ||||||
9 | of Medicaid residents as indicated by the MDS data | ||||||
10 | defined in paragraph (4) multiplied by the associated | ||||||
11 | case weight for the RUG-IV 48 grouper model using | ||||||
12 | standard RUG-IV procedures for index maximization. | ||||||
13 | (D) The sum of the products calculated for each | ||||||
14 | nursing home in subparagraphs (A) through (C) above | ||||||
15 | shall be the base year case mix, rate adjusted weighted | ||||||
16 | days. | ||||||
17 | (3) The Statewide RUG-IV nursing base per diem rate on | ||||||
18 | January 1, 2014 shall be the quotient of the paragraph (1) | ||||||
19 | divided by the sum calculated under subparagraph (D) of | ||||||
20 | paragraph (2). | ||||||
21 | (4) Minimum Data Set (MDS) comprehensive assessments | ||||||
22 | for Medicaid residents on the last day of the quarter used | ||||||
23 | to establish the base rate. | ||||||
24 | (5) Nursing facilities designated as of July 1, 2012 by | ||||||
25 | the Department as "Institutions for Mental Disease" shall | ||||||
26 | be excluded from all calculations under this subsection. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The data from these facilities shall not be used in the | ||||||
2 | computations described in paragraphs (1) through (4) above | ||||||
3 | to establish the base rate. | ||||||
4 | (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
5 | Department shall by rule develop a reimbursement methodology | ||||||
6 | reflective of the intensity of care and services requirements | ||||||
7 | of low need residents in the lowest RUG IV groupers and | ||||||
8 | corresponding regulations. Only that portion of the RUGs | ||||||
9 | Reimbursement System spending pool described in subsection | ||||||
10 | (d-1) attributed to the groupers as of July 1, 2013 for which | ||||||
11 | the methodology in this Section is developed may be diverted | ||||||
12 | for this purpose. The Department shall submit the rules no | ||||||
13 | later than January 1, 2014 for an implementation date no later | ||||||
14 | than January 1, 2015. If the Department does not implement this | ||||||
15 | reimbursement methodology by the required date, the nursing | ||||||
16 | component per diem on January 1, 2015 for residents classified | ||||||
17 | in RUG-IV groups PA1, PA2, BA1, and BA2 shall be the blended | ||||||
18 | rate of the calculated RUG-IV nursing component per diem and | ||||||
19 | the nursing component per diem in effect on July 1, 2012. This | ||||||
20 | blended rate shall be applied only to nursing homes whose | ||||||
21 | resident population is greater than or equal to 70% of the | ||||||
22 | total residents served and whose RUG-IV nursing component per | ||||||
23 | diem rate is less than the nursing component per diem in effect | ||||||
24 | on July 1, 2012. This blended rate shall be in effect until the | ||||||
25 | reimbursement methodology is implemented or until July 1, 2019, | ||||||
26 | whichever is sooner. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (e-1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, | ||||||
2 | rates established pursuant to this subsection shall not apply | ||||||
3 | to any and all nursing facilities designated by the Department | ||||||
4 | as "Institutions for Mental Disease" and shall be excluded from | ||||||
5 | the RUGs Reimbursement System applicable to facilities not | ||||||
6 | designated as "Institutions for the Mentally Diseased" by the | ||||||
7 | Department. | ||||||
8 | (e-2) For dates of services beginning January 1, 2014, the | ||||||
9 | RUG-IV nursing component per diem for a nursing home shall be | ||||||
10 | the product of the statewide RUG-IV nursing base per diem rate, | ||||||
11 | the facility average case mix index, and the regional wage | ||||||
12 | adjustor. Transition rates for services provided between | ||||||
13 | January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014 shall be as follows: | ||||||
14 | (1) The transition RUG-IV per diem nursing rate for | ||||||
15 | nursing homes whose rate calculated in this subsection | ||||||
16 | (e-2) is greater than the nursing component rate in effect | ||||||
17 | July 1, 2012 shall be paid the sum of: | ||||||
18 | (A) The nursing component rate in effect July 1, | ||||||
19 | 2012; plus | ||||||
20 | (B) The difference of the RUG-IV nursing component | ||||||
21 | per diem calculated for the current quarter minus the | ||||||
22 | nursing component rate in effect July 1, 2012 | ||||||
23 | multiplied by 0.88. | ||||||
24 | (2) The transition RUG-IV per diem nursing rate for | ||||||
25 | nursing homes whose rate calculated in this subsection | ||||||
26 | (e-2) is less than the nursing component rate in effect |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | July 1, 2012 shall be paid the sum of: | ||||||
2 | (A) The nursing component rate in effect July 1, | ||||||
3 | 2012; plus | ||||||
4 | (B) The difference of the RUG-IV nursing component | ||||||
5 | per diem calculated for the current quarter minus the | ||||||
6 | nursing component rate in effect July 1, 2012 | ||||||
7 | multiplied by 0.13. | ||||||
8 | (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, on | ||||||
9 | and after July 1, 2012, reimbursement rates associated with the | ||||||

2 | below what that component would
have been utilizing in the rate | ||||||
3 | effective on July 1, 1984.
| ||||||
4 | (2) Shall take into account the actual costs incurred by | ||||||

12 | imposed and prescribed by the
State of Illinois, any of its | ||||||
13 | political subdivisions or municipalities and by

14 | Department of Health and Human Services pursuant to Title XIX | ||||||
15 | of the
Social Security Act.
| ||||||
16 | The Department of Healthcare and Family Services
shall | ||||||
17 | develop precise standards for
payments to reimburse nursing | ||||||
18 | facilities for any utilization of
appropriate rehabilitative | ||||||
19 | personnel for the provision of rehabilitative
services which is | ||||||
20 | authorized by federal regulations, including
reimbursement for | ||||||
21 | services provided by qualified therapists or qualified
| ||||||
22 | assistants, and which is in accordance with accepted | ||||||
23 | professional
practices. Reimbursement also may be made for | ||||||
24 | utilization of other
supportive personnel under appropriate | ||||||
25 | supervision.
| ||||||
26 | The Department shall develop enhanced payments to offset |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the additional costs incurred by a
facility serving exceptional | ||||||
2 | need residents and shall allocate at least $4,000,000 of the | ||||||
3 | funds
collected from the assessment established by Section 5B-2 | ||||||
4 | of this Code for such payments. For
the purpose of this | ||||||

7 | payments for exceptional need residents under this paragraph | ||||||
8 | are not due and payable, however, until (i) the methodologies | ||||||
9 | described in this paragraph are approved by the federal | ||||||
10 | government in an appropriate State Plan amendment and (ii) the | ||||||
11 | assessment imposed by Section 5B-2 of this Code is determined | ||||||
12 | to be a permissible tax under Title XIX of the Social Security | ||||||
13 | Act. | ||||||
14 | Beginning January 1, 2014 the methodologies for | ||||||
15 | reimbursement of nursing facility services as provided under | ||||||
16 | this Section 5-5.4 shall no longer be applicable for services | ||||||
17 | provided on or after January 1, 2014. | ||||||
18 | No payment increase under this Section for the MDS | ||||||
19 | methodology, exceptional care residents, or the | ||||||
20 | socio-development component rate established by Public Act | ||||||
21 | 96-1530 of the 96th General Assembly and funded by the | ||||||
22 | assessment imposed under Section 5B-2 of this Code shall be due | ||||||
23 | and payable until after the Department notifies the long-term | ||||||
24 | care providers, in writing, that the payment methodologies to | ||||||
25 | long-term care providers required under this Section have been | ||||||
26 | approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the | ||||||
2 | waivers under 42 CFR 433.68 for the assessment imposed by this | ||||||
3 | Section, if necessary, have been granted by the Centers for | ||||||
4 | Medicare and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health | ||||||
5 | and Human Services. Upon notification to the Department of | ||||||

7 | Section and the waivers granted under 42 CFR 433.68, all | ||||||
8 | increased payments otherwise due under this Section prior to | ||||||

11 | On and after July 1, 2012, the Department shall reduce any | ||||||
12 | rate of reimbursement for services or other payments or alter | ||||||
13 | any methodologies authorized by this Code to reduce any rate of | ||||||

The Illinois Department shall send a

to assessment | ||||||
4 | under this Article. The notice of assessment shall notify the | ||||||
5 | hospital of its assessment and shall be sent after receipt by | ||||||

7 | and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health and | ||||||
8 | Human Services that the payment methodologies required under | ||||||
9 | this Article and, if necessary, the waiver granted under 42 CFR | ||||||

| ||||||
7 | (c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, in
| ||||||
8 | the case of a person who ceases to conduct, operate, or | ||||||
9 | maintain a
hospital in respect of which the person is subject | ||||||
10 | to assessment
under this Article as a hospital provider, the | ||||||
11 | assessment for the State
fiscal year in which the cessation | ||||||
12 | occurs shall be adjusted by
multiplying the assessment computed | ||||||
13 | under Section 5A-2 by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the | ||||||
14 | number of days in the
year during which the provider conducts, | ||||||
15 | operates, or maintains
the hospital and the denominator of | ||||||
16 | which is 365. Immediately
upon ceasing to conduct, operate, or | ||||||

for | ||||||
18 | the year as so adjusted (to the extent not previously paid).
| ||||||
19 | (d) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, a
| ||||||
20 | provider who commences conducting, operating, or maintaining a

2 | hospital provider that did not conduct, operate, or maintain a | ||||||

4 | shall be computed on the basis of hypothetical occupied bed | ||||||
5 | days for the full calendar year as determined by the Illinois | ||||||
6 | Department. Notwithstanding any other provision in this | ||||||
7 | Article, for the portion of State fiscal year 2012 beginning | ||||||
8 | June 10, 2012 through June 30, 2012, and for State fiscal years | ||||||

10 | 2014, in the case of a hospital provider that did not conduct, | ||||||
11 | operate, or maintain a hospital in 2009, the assessment under | ||||||
12 | subsection (b-5) of Section 5A-2 for that State fiscal year | ||||||
13 | shall be computed on the basis of hypothetical gross outpatient | ||||||
14 | revenue for the full calendar year as determined by the | ||||||

16 | (f) Every hospital provider subject to assessment under | ||||||

25 | hospital provider a reasonable opportunity to request a | ||||||
26 | clarification or correction of any clerical or computational |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | errors contained in the calculation of its assessment, but such | ||||||

| |||||||
1 | of any kind, to his or her spouse, child, brother, sister, | ||||||

4 | Rules adopted by the Illinois Department to implement these
| ||||||
5 | provisions shall specifically include a definition of the term
| ||||||
6 | "management responsibility" as used in this Section. Such | ||||||
7 | definition

15 | the medical assistance program, or from another state or | ||||||
16 | federal medical assistance or health care program, as a result | ||||||
17 | of being an officer or a person owning, directly or indirectly, | ||||||
18 | 5% or more of the shares of stock or other evidences of | ||||||
19 | ownership in a corporate or limited liability company vendor | ||||||

21 | that vendor's termination, suspension, or exclusion, may be | ||||||
22 | required to post a surety bond as part of a condition of | ||||||
23 | enrollment or participation in the medical assistance program. | ||||||
24 | The Illinois Department shall establish, by rule, the criteria | ||||||
25 | and requirements for determining when a surety bond must be | ||||||
26 | posted and the value of the bond. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | A vendor or a prior vendor who has a debt owed to the | ||||||
2 | Illinois Department and any individual currently or previously | ||||||
3 | barred from the medical assistance program, or from another | ||||||
4 | state or federal medical assistance or health care program, as | ||||||
5 | a result of being an officer or a person owning, directly or | ||||||
6 | indirectly, 5% or more of the shares of stock or other | ||||||
7 | evidences of ownership in that corporate or limited liability | ||||||
8 | company vendor during the time of any conduct which served as | ||||||
9 | the basis for the debt, may be required to post a surety bond | ||||||
10 | as part of a condition of enrollment or participation in the | ||||||
11 | medical assistance program. The Illinois Department shall | ||||||
12 | establish, by rule, the criteria and requirements for | ||||||
13 | determining when a surety bond must be posted and the value of | ||||||
14 | the bond. | ||||||
15 | (D) If a vendor has been suspended from the medical | ||||||
16 | assistance
program under Article V of the Code, the Director | ||||||
17 | may require that such
vendor correct any deficiencies which | ||||||
18 | served as the basis for the
suspension. The Director shall | ||||||
19 | specify in the suspension order a specific
period of time, | ||||||
20 | which shall not exceed one year from the date of the
order, | ||||||
21 | during which a suspended vendor shall not be eligible to
| ||||||
22 | participate. At the conclusion of the period of suspension the | ||||||
23 | Director
shall reinstate such vendor, unless he finds that such | ||||||
24 | vendor has not
corrected deficiencies upon which the suspension | ||||||
25 | was based.
| ||||||
26 | If a vendor has been terminated, suspended, or excluded |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | from the medical assistance program
under Article V, such | ||||||
2 | vendor shall be barred from participation for at
least one | ||||||
3 | year, except that if a vendor has been terminated, suspended, | ||||||
4 | or excluded based on a
conviction of a
violation of Article | ||||||
5 | VIIIA or a conviction of a felony based on fraud or a
willful | ||||||
6 | misrepresentation related to (i) the medical assistance | ||||||
7 | program under
Article V, (ii) a federal or another state's | ||||||
8 | medical assistance or health care program, or (iii) the | ||||||
9 | provision of health care services, then
the vendor shall be | ||||||
10 | barred from participation for 5 years or for the length of
the | ||||||
11 | vendor's sentence for that conviction, whichever is longer. At | ||||||
12 | the end of
one year a vendor who has been terminated, | ||||||
13 | suspended, or excluded
may apply for reinstatement to the | ||||||
14 | program. Upon proper application to
be reinstated such vendor | ||||||
15 | may be deemed eligible by the Director
providing that such | ||||||
16 | vendor meets the requirements for eligibility under
this Code. | ||||||
17 | If such vendor is deemed not eligible for
reinstatement, he
| ||||||
18 | shall be barred from again applying for reinstatement for one | ||||||
19 | year from the
date his application for reinstatement is denied.
| ||||||
20 | A vendor whose termination, suspension, or exclusion from | ||||||
21 | participation in the Illinois medical
assistance program under | ||||||
22 | Article V was based solely on an action by a
governmental | ||||||
23 | entity other than the Illinois Department may, upon | ||||||
24 | reinstatement
by that governmental entity or upon reversal of | ||||||
25 | the termination, suspension, or exclusion, apply for
| ||||||
26 | rescission of the termination, suspension, or exclusion from |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | participation in the Illinois medical
assistance program. Upon | ||||||
2 | proper application for rescission, the vendor may be
deemed | ||||||
3 | eligible by the Director if the vendor meets the requirements | ||||||
4 | for
eligibility under this Code.
| ||||||
5 | If a vendor has been terminated, suspended, or excluded and | ||||||
6 | reinstated to the medical assistance
program under Article V | ||||||
7 | and the vendor is terminated, suspended, or excluded a second | ||||||
8 | or subsequent
time from the medical assistance program, the | ||||||
9 | vendor shall be barred from
participation for at least 2 years, | ||||||
10 | except that if a vendor has been
terminated, suspended, or | ||||||
11 | excluded a second time based on a
conviction of a violation of | ||||||
12 | Article VIIIA or a conviction of a felony based on
fraud or a | ||||||
13 | willful misrepresentation related to (i) the medical | ||||||
14 | assistance
program under Article V, (ii) a federal or another | ||||||
15 | state's medical assistance or health care program, or (iii) the | ||||||
16 | provision of health care
services, then the vendor shall be | ||||||
17 | barred from participation for life. At
the end of 2 years, a | ||||||
18 | vendor who has
been terminated, suspended, or excluded may | ||||||
19 | apply for reinstatement to the program. Upon application
to be | ||||||
20 | reinstated, the vendor may be deemed eligible if the vendor | ||||||
21 | meets the
requirements for eligibility under this Code. If the | ||||||
22 | vendor is deemed not
eligible for reinstatement, the vendor | ||||||
23 | shall be barred from again applying for
reinstatement for 2 | ||||||
24 | years from the date the vendor's application for
reinstatement | ||||||
25 | is denied.
| ||||||
26 | (E) The Illinois Department may recover money improperly or
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | erroneously paid, or overpayments, either by setoff, crediting | ||||||
2 | against
future billings or by requiring direct repayment to the | ||||||
3 | Illinois
Department. The Illinois Department may suspend or | ||||||
4 | deny payment, in whole or in part, if such payment would be | ||||||
5 | improper or erroneous or would otherwise result in overpayment. | ||||||
6 | (1) Payments may be suspended, denied, or recovered | ||||||
7 | from a vendor or alternate payee: (i) for services rendered | ||||||
8 | in violation of the Illinois Department's provider | ||||||
9 | notices, statutes, rules, and regulations; (ii) for | ||||||
10 | services rendered in violation of the terms and conditions | ||||||
11 | prescribed by the Illinois Department in its vendor | ||||||

16 | program for the most recent 6 years, in accordance with | ||||||
17 | Section 140.28 of Title 89 of the Illinois Administrative | ||||||
18 | Code, and other information for the purpose of audits, | ||||||
19 | investigations, or other program integrity functions, | ||||||
20 | after reasonable written request by the Inspector General; | ||||||
21 | this subsection (E) does not require vendors to make | ||||||
22 | available the medical records of patients for whom services | ||||||
23 | are not reimbursed under this Code or to provide access to | ||||||
24 | medical records more than 6 years old; (iv) when the vendor | ||||||
25 | has knowingly made, or caused to be made, any false | ||||||
26 | statement or representation of a material fact in |
| |||||||

2 | assistance program; or (v) when the vendor previously | ||||||
3 | rendered services while terminated, suspended, or excluded | ||||||
4 | from participation in the medical assistance program or | ||||||
5 | while terminated or excluded from participation in another | ||||||
6 | state or federal medical assistance or health care program. | ||||||
7 | (2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a | ||||||
8 | vendor has the same taxpayer identification number | ||||||
9 | (assigned under Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code | ||||||
10 | of 1986) as is assigned to a vendor with past-due financial | ||||||
11 | obligations to the Illinois Department, the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Department may make any necessary adjustments to payments | ||||||
13 | to that vendor in order to satisfy any past-due | ||||||
14 | obligations, regardless of whether the vendor is assigned a | ||||||
15 | different billing number under the medical assistance | ||||||
16 | program.

18 | misleading, and that could reasonably be expected to | ||||||
19 | influence the decision when to discharge such person or | ||||||
20 | other individual from the hospital; | ||||||
21 | (d) in the case of a person who is not an | ||||||

item or service will be made under | ||||||
14 | such a program; | ||||||
15 | (k) knowingly makes or causes to be made any false | ||||||
16 | statement, omission, or misrepresentation of a | ||||||

addition, such a person shall be subject to an | ||||||
12 | assessment of not more
than 3 times the amount claimed for | ||||||
13 | each such item or service in lieu
of damages sustained by | ||||||
14 | the State because of such claim
(or, in cases under | ||||||
15 | subparagraph (g), damages of not more than 3 times
the | ||||||
16 | total amount of remuneration offered, paid, solicited, or | ||||||
17 | received,
without regard to whether a portion of such | ||||||

subparagraph (k), an | ||||||
20 | assessment of not more than 3 times the total
amount | ||||||
21 | claimed for each item or service for which payment was made
| ||||||
22 | based upon the application, bid, or contract containing the | ||||||
23 | false
statement, omission, or misrepresentation of a | ||||||
24 | material fact). | ||||||
25 | (3) In addition, the Director or his or her designee | ||||||
26 | may make a determination in the
same proceeding to exclude, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | terminate, suspend, or bar the person from
participation in | ||||||
2 | the medical assistance program. | ||||||
3 | (4) The Illinois Department may seek the civil monetary | ||||||
4 | penalties and exclusion, termination, suspension, or | ||||||
5 | barment identified in this subsection (E-5). Prior to the | ||||||
6 | imposition of any penalties or sanctions, the affected
| ||||||
7 | person shall be afforded an
opportunity for a hearing after | ||||||
8 | reasonable notice. The
Department shall establish hearing | ||||||
9 | procedures by rule. | ||||||
10 | (5) Any final order, decision, or other determination | ||||||
11 | made, issued, or executed by the Director under the | ||||||
12 | provisions of this subsection (E-5), whereby a person is | ||||||
13 | aggrieved, shall be subject to review in accordance with | ||||||
14 | the provisions of the Administrative Review Law, and the | ||||||
15 | rules adopted pursuant thereto, which shall apply to and | ||||||
16 | govern all proceedings for the judicial review of final | ||||||
17 | administrative decisions of the Director. | ||||||
18 | (6)(a) If a person has received an overpayment, the | ||||||
19 | person shall: | ||||||
20 | (i) report and return the overpayment to the | ||||||
21 | Department at the correct address; and | ||||||
22 | (ii) notify the Department in writing of the reason | ||||||
23 | for the overpayment. | ||||||
24 | (b) An overpayment must be reported and returned under | ||||||
25 | subparagraph (a) by the later of: | ||||||
26 | (i) the date which is 60 days after the date on |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | which the overpayment was identified; or | ||||||
2 | (ii) the date any corresponding cost report is due, | ||||||
3 | if applicable. | ||||||
4 | (E-10) A vendor who disputes an overpayment identified as | ||||||
5 | part of a Department audit shall utilize the Department's | ||||||
6 | self-referral disclosure protocol as set forth under this Code | ||||||
7 | to identify, investigate, and return to the Department any | ||||||
8 | undisputed audit overpayment amount. Unless the disputed | ||||||
9 | overpayment amount is subject to a fraud payment suspension, or | ||||||
10 | involves a termination sanction, the Department shall defer the | ||||||
11 | recovery of the disputed overpayment amount up to one year | ||||||
12 | after the date of the Department's final audit determination, | ||||||
13 | or earlier, or as required by State or federal law. If the | ||||||
14 | administrative hearing extends beyond one year, and such delay | ||||||
15 | was not caused by the request of the vendor, then the | ||||||
16 | Department shall not recover the disputed overpayment amount | ||||||
17 | until the date of the final administrative decision. If a final | ||||||
18 | administrative decision establishes that the disputed | ||||||
19 | overpayment amount is owed to the Department, then the amount | ||||||
20 | shall be immediately due to the Department. The Department | ||||||
21 | shall be entitled to recover interest from the vendor on the | ||||||
22 | overpayment amount from the date of the overpayment through the | ||||||
23 | date the vendor returns the overpayment to the Department at a | ||||||
24 | rate not to exceed the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate, as | ||||||
25 | published from time to time, but not to exceed 5%. Any interest | ||||||
26 | billed by the Department shall be due immediately upon receipt |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the Department's billing statement. | ||||||
2 | (F) The Illinois Department may withhold payments to any | ||||||
3 | vendor
or alternate payee prior to or during the pendency of | ||||||
4 | any audit or proceeding under this Section, and through the | ||||||
5 | pendency of any administrative appeal or administrative review | ||||||
6 | by any court proceeding. The Illinois Department shall
state by | ||||||
7 | rule with as much specificity as practicable the conditions
| ||||||
8 | under which payments will not be withheld under this Section. | ||||||
9 | Payments may be denied for bills
submitted with service dates | ||||||
10 | occurring during the pendency of a
proceeding, after a final | ||||||
11 | decision has been rendered, or after the conclusion of any | ||||||
12 | administrative appeal, where the final administrative decision | ||||||
13 | is to terminate, exclude, or suspend
eligibility to participate | ||||||
14 | in the medical assistance program. The
Illinois Department | ||||||
15 | shall state by rule with as much specificity as
practicable the | ||||||
16 | conditions under which payments will not be denied for
such | ||||||
17 | bills.
The Illinois
Department shall state by rule a process | ||||||
18 | and criteria by
which a vendor or alternate payee may request | ||||||
19 | full or partial release of payments withheld under
this | ||||||
20 | subsection. The Department must complete a proceeding under | ||||||
21 | this Section
in a timely manner.
| ||||||
22 | Notwithstanding recovery allowed under subsection (E) or | ||||||
23 | this subsection (F), the Illinois Department may withhold | ||||||
24 | payments to any vendor or alternate payee who is not properly | ||||||
25 | licensed, certified, or in compliance with State or federal | ||||||
26 | agency regulations. Payments may be denied for bills submitted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with service dates occurring during the period of time that a | ||||||
2 | vendor is not properly licensed, certified, or in compliance | ||||||
3 | with State or federal regulations. Facilities licensed under
| ||||||
4 | the Nursing Home Care Act shall have payments denied or
| ||||||
5 | withheld pursuant to subsection (I) of this Section. | ||||||
6 | (F-5) The Illinois Department may temporarily withhold | ||||||
7 | payments to
a vendor or alternate payee if any of the following | ||||||
8 | individuals have been indicted or
otherwise charged under a law | ||||||
9 | of the United States or this or any other state
with an offense | ||||||
10 | that is based on alleged fraud or willful
misrepresentation on | ||||||
11 | the part of the individual related to (i) the medical
| ||||||
12 | assistance program under Article V of this Code, (ii) a federal | ||||||
13 | or another state's medical assistance
or health care program, | ||||||
14 | or (iii) the provision of health care services:
| ||||||
15 | (1) If the vendor or alternate payee is a corporation: | ||||||
16 | an officer of the corporation
or an individual who owns, | ||||||
17 | either directly or indirectly, 5% or more
of the shares of | ||||||
18 | stock or other evidence of ownership of the
corporation.
| ||||||
19 | (2) If the vendor is a sole proprietorship: the owner | ||||||
20 | of the sole
proprietorship.
| ||||||
21 | (3) If the vendor or alternate payee is a partnership: | ||||||
22 | a partner in the partnership.
| ||||||
23 | (4) If the vendor or alternate payee is any other | ||||||
24 | business entity authorized by law
to transact business in | ||||||
25 | this State: an officer of the entity or an
individual who | ||||||
26 | owns, either directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | evidences of ownership of the entity.
| ||||||
2 | If the Illinois Department withholds payments to a vendor | ||||||
3 | or alternate payee under this
subsection, the Department shall | ||||||
4 | not release those payments to the vendor
or alternate payee
| ||||||
5 | while any criminal proceeding related to the indictment or | ||||||
6 | charge is pending
unless the Department determines that there | ||||||
7 | is good cause to release the
payments before completion of the | ||||||
8 | proceeding. If the indictment or charge
results in the | ||||||
9 | individual's conviction, the Illinois Department shall retain
| ||||||
10 | all withheld
payments, which shall be considered forfeited to | ||||||
11 | the Department. If the
indictment or charge does not result in | ||||||
12 | the individual's conviction, the
Illinois Department
shall | ||||||
13 | release to the vendor or alternate payee all withheld payments.
| ||||||
14 | (F-10) If the Illinois Department establishes that the | ||||||
15 | vendor or alternate payee owes a debt to the Illinois | ||||||
16 | Department, and the vendor or alternate payee subsequently | ||||||
17 | fails to pay or make satisfactory payment arrangements with the | ||||||
18 | Illinois Department for the debt owed, the Illinois Department | ||||||
19 | may seek all remedies available under the law of this State to | ||||||
20 | recover the debt, including, but not limited to, wage | ||||||
21 | garnishment or the filing of claims or liens against the vendor | ||||||
22 | or alternate payee. | ||||||
23 | (F-15) Enforcement of judgment. | ||||||
24 | (1) Any fine, recovery amount, other sanction, or costs | ||||||
25 | imposed, or part of any fine, recovery amount, other | ||||||
26 | sanction, or cost imposed, remaining unpaid after the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | exhaustion of or the failure to exhaust judicial review | ||||||
2 | procedures under the Illinois Administrative Review Law is | ||||||
3 | a debt due and owing the State and may be collected using | ||||||
4 | all remedies available under the law. | ||||||
5 | (2) After expiration of the period in which judicial | ||||||
6 | review under the Illinois Administrative Review Law may be | ||||||
7 | sought for a final administrative decision, unless stayed | ||||||
8 | by a court of competent jurisdiction, the findings, | ||||||
9 | decision, and order of the Director may be enforced in the | ||||||
10 | same manner as a judgment entered by a court of competent | ||||||
11 | jurisdiction. | ||||||
12 | (3) In any case in which any person or entity has | ||||||
13 | failed to comply with a judgment ordering or imposing any | ||||||
14 | fine or other sanction, any expenses incurred by the | ||||||
15 | Illinois Department to enforce the judgment, including, | ||||||
16 | but not limited to, attorney's fees, court costs, and costs | ||||||
17 | related to property demolition or foreclosure, after they | ||||||
18 | are fixed by a court of competent jurisdiction or the | ||||||
19 | Director, shall be a debt due and owing the State and may | ||||||
20 | be collected in accordance with applicable law. Prior to | ||||||
21 | any expenses being fixed by a final administrative decision | ||||||
22 | pursuant to this subsection (F-15), the Illinois | ||||||
23 | Department shall provide notice to the individual or entity | ||||||
24 | that states that the individual or entity shall appear at a | ||||||
25 | hearing before the administrative hearing officer to | ||||||
26 | determine whether the individual or entity has failed to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | comply with the judgment. The notice shall set the date for | ||||||
2 | such a hearing, which shall not be less than 7 days from | ||||||
3 | the date that notice is served. If notice is served by | ||||||
4 | mail, the 7-day period shall begin to run on the date that | ||||||
5 | the notice was deposited in the mail. | ||||||
6 | (4) Upon being recorded in the manner required by | ||||||
7 | Article XII of the Code of Civil Procedure or by the | ||||||
8 | Uniform Commercial Code, a lien shall be imposed on the | ||||||
9 | real estate or personal estate, or both, of the individual | ||||||
10 | or entity in the amount of any debt due and owing the State | ||||||
11 | under this Section. The lien may be enforced in the same | ||||||
12 | manner as a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. | ||||||
13 | A lien shall attach to all property and assets of such | ||||||
14 | person, firm, corporation, association, agency, | ||||||
15 | institution, or other legal entity until the judgment is | ||||||
16 | satisfied. | ||||||
17 | (5) The Director may set aside any judgment entered by
| ||||||
18 | default and set a new hearing date upon a petition filed at
| ||||||
19 | any time (i) if the petitioner's failure to appear at the
| ||||||
20 | hearing was for good cause, or (ii) if the petitioner
| ||||||
21 | established that the Department did not provide proper
| ||||||
22 | service of process. If any judgment is set aside pursuant
| ||||||
23 | to this paragraph (5), the hearing officer shall have
| ||||||
24 | authority to enter an order extinguishing any lien which
| ||||||
25 | has been recorded for any debt due and owing the Illinois
| ||||||
26 | Department as a result of the vacated default judgment. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (G) The provisions of the Administrative Review Law, as now | ||||||
2 | or hereafter
amended, and the rules adopted pursuant
thereto, | ||||||
3 | shall apply to and govern all proceedings for the judicial
| ||||||
4 | review of final administrative decisions of the Illinois | ||||||
5 | Department
under this Section. The term "administrative | ||||||
6 | decision" is defined as in
Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil | ||||||
7 | Procedure.
| ||||||
8 | (G-5) Vendors who pose a risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or | ||||||
9 | harm.
| ||||||
10 | (1) Notwithstanding any other provision in this | ||||||
11 | Section, the Department may terminate, suspend, or exclude | ||||||
12 | vendors who pose a risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or harm | ||||||
13 | from
participation in the medical assistance program prior
| ||||||
14 | to an evidentiary hearing but after reasonable notice and | ||||||
15 | opportunity to
respond as established by the Department by | ||||||
16 | rule.
| ||||||
17 | (2) Vendors who pose a risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or | ||||||
18 | harm shall submit to a fingerprint-based criminal
| ||||||
19 | background check on current and future information | ||||||
20 | available in the State
system and current information | ||||||
21 | available through the Federal Bureau of
Investigation's | ||||||
22 | system by submitting all necessary fees and information in | ||||||
23 | the
form and manner
prescribed by the Department of State | ||||||
24 | Police. The following individuals shall
be subject to the | ||||||
25 | check:
| ||||||
26 | (A) In the case of a vendor that is a corporation, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | every shareholder
who owns, directly or indirectly, 5% | ||||||
2 | or more of the outstanding shares of
the corporation.
| ||||||
3 | (B) In the case of a vendor that is a partnership, | ||||||
4 | every partner.
| ||||||
5 | (C) In the case of a vendor that is a sole | ||||||
6 | proprietorship, the sole
proprietor.
| ||||||
7 | (D) Each officer or manager of the vendor.
| ||||||
8 | Each such vendor shall be responsible for payment of | ||||||
9 | the cost of the
criminal background check.
| ||||||
10 | (3) Vendors who pose a risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or | ||||||
11 | harm may be
required to post a surety bond. The Department | ||||||
12 | shall establish, by rule, the
criteria and requirements for | ||||||
13 | determining when a surety bond must be posted and
the value | ||||||
14 | of the bond.
| ||||||
15 | (4) The Department, or its agents, may refuse to accept | ||||||
16 | requests for authorization from specific vendors who pose a | ||||||
17 | risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or harm, including | ||||||
18 | prior-approval and
post-approval requests, if:
| ||||||
19 | (A) the Department has initiated a notice of | ||||||
20 | termination, suspension, or exclusion of the
vendor | ||||||
21 | from participation in the medical assistance program; | ||||||
22 | or
| ||||||
23 | (B) the Department has issued notification of its | ||||||
24 | withholding of
payments pursuant to subsection (F-5) | ||||||
25 | of this Section; or
| ||||||
26 | (C) the Department has issued a notification of its |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | withholding of
payments due to reliable evidence of | ||||||
2 | fraud or willful misrepresentation
pending | ||||||
3 | investigation.
| ||||||
4 | (5) As used in this subsection, the following terms are | ||||||
5 | defined as follows: | ||||||
6 | (A) "Fraud" means an intentional deception or | ||||||
7 | misrepresentation made by a person with the knowledge | ||||||
8 | that the deception could result in some unauthorized | ||||||
9 | benefit to himself or herself or some other person. It | ||||||
10 | includes any act that constitutes fraud under | ||||||
11 | applicable federal or State law. | ||||||
12 | (B) "Abuse" means provider practices that are | ||||||
13 | inconsistent with sound fiscal, business, or medical | ||||||
14 | practices and that result in an unnecessary cost to the | ||||||
15 | medical assistance program or in reimbursement for | ||||||
16 | services that are not medically necessary or that fail | ||||||
17 | to meet professionally recognized standards for health | ||||||
18 | care. It also includes recipient practices that result | ||||||
19 | in unnecessary cost to the medical assistance program. | ||||||
20 | Abuse does not include diagnostic or therapeutic | ||||||
21 | measures conducted primarily as a safeguard against | ||||||
22 | possible vendor liability. | ||||||
23 | (C) "Waste" means the unintentional misuse of | ||||||
24 | medical assistance resources, resulting in unnecessary | ||||||
25 | cost to the medical assistance program. Waste does not | ||||||
26 | include diagnostic or therapeutic measures conducted |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | primarily as a safeguard against possible vendor | ||||||
2 | liability. | ||||||
3 | (D) "Harm" means physical, mental, or monetary | ||||||
4 | damage to recipients or to the medical assistance | ||||||
5 | program. | ||||||
6 | (G-6) The Illinois Department, upon making a determination | ||||||
7 | based upon information in the possession of the Illinois | ||||||
8 | Department that continuation of participation in the medical | ||||||
9 | assistance program by a vendor would constitute an immediate | ||||||
10 | danger to the public, may immediately suspend such vendor's | ||||||
11 | participation in the medical assistance program without a | ||||||
12 | hearing. In instances in which the Illinois Department | ||||||
13 | immediately suspends the medical assistance program | ||||||
14 | participation of a vendor under this Section, a hearing upon | ||||||
15 | the vendor's participation must be convened by the Illinois | ||||||
16 | Department within 15 days after such suspension and completed | ||||||
17 | without appreciable delay. Such hearing shall be held to | ||||||
18 | determine whether to recommend to the Director that the | ||||||
19 | vendor's medical assistance program participation be denied, | ||||||
20 | terminated, suspended, placed on provisional status, or | ||||||
21 | reinstated. In the hearing, any evidence relevant to the vendor | ||||||
22 | constituting an immediate danger to the public may be | ||||||
23 | introduced against such vendor; provided, however, that the | ||||||
24 | vendor, or his or her counsel, shall have the opportunity to | ||||||
25 | discredit, impeach, and submit evidence rebutting such | ||||||
26 | evidence. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (H) Nothing contained in this Code shall in any way limit | ||||||
2 | or
otherwise impair the authority or power of any State agency | ||||||
3 | responsible
for licensing of vendors.
| ||||||
4 | (I) Based on a finding of noncompliance on the part of a | ||||||
5 | nursing home with
any requirement for certification under Title | ||||||
6 | XVIII or XIX of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1395 et | ||||||
7 | seq. or 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1396 et seq.), the
Illinois Department | ||||||
8 | may impose one or more of the following remedies after
notice | ||||||
9 | to the facility:
| ||||||
10 | (1) Termination of the provider agreement.
| ||||||
11 | (2) Temporary management.
| ||||||
12 | (3) Denial of payment for new admissions.
| ||||||
13 | (4) Civil money penalties.
| ||||||
14 | (5) Closure of the facility in emergency situations or | ||||||
15 | transfer of
residents, or both.
| ||||||
16 | (6) State monitoring.
| ||||||
17 | (7) Denial of all payments when the U.S. Department of | ||||||
18 | Health and Human Services has
imposed this sanction.
| ||||||
19 | The Illinois Department shall by rule establish criteria | ||||||
20 | governing continued
payments to a nursing facility subsequent | ||||||
21 | to termination of the facility's
provider agreement if, in the | ||||||
22 | sole discretion of the Illinois Department,
circumstances | ||||||
23 | affecting the health, safety, and welfare of the facility's
| ||||||
24 | residents require those continued payments. The Illinois | ||||||
25 | Department may
condition those continued payments on the | ||||||
26 | appointment of temporary management,
sale of the facility to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | new owners or operators, or other
arrangements that the | ||||||
2 | Illinois Department determines best serve the needs of

6 | federal government, a facility may
request a hearing before a | ||||||
7 | State agency on any finding of noncompliance within
60 days | ||||||
8 | after the notice of the intent to impose a remedy. Except in | ||||||
9 | the case
of civil money penalties, a request for a hearing | ||||||
10 | shall not delay imposition of
the penalty. The choice of | ||||||
11 | remedies is not appealable at a hearing. The level
of | ||||||
12 | noncompliance may be challenged only in the case of a civil | ||||||

25 | provider or alternate payee of its intention to withhold such | ||||||
26 | payments. A provider or alternate payee may request a |
| |||||||

12 | ongoing investigation. The notice must do all of the | ||||||
13 | following: | ||||||
14 | (1) State that payments are being withheld in
| ||||||
15 | accordance with this subsection. | ||||||
16 | (2) State that the withholding is for a temporary
| ||||||
17 | period, as stated in paragraph (b) of this
subsection, | ||||||

| ||||||
21 | of Medicaid claims withholding is effective. | ||||||

26 | written request may be made to the Illinois Department |

| ||||||
9 | evidence of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the

| ||||||
12 | alternate payee's alleged fraud, willful
| ||||||

21 | whole or in part, to a provider or alternate payee upon | ||||||
22 | initiation of an audit, quality of care review, investigation | ||||||
23 | when there is a credible allegation of fraud, or the provider | ||||||
24 | or alternate payee demonstrating a clear failure to cooperate | ||||||

7 | it has indicia of reliability. The Illinois Department may | ||||||
8 | withhold payments without first notifying the provider or | ||||||
9 | alternate payee of its intention to withhold such payments. A | ||||||
10 | provider or alternate payee may request a hearing or a | ||||||
11 | reconsideration of payment withholding, and the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Department must grant such a request. The Illinois Department | ||||||
13 | shall state by rule a process and criteria by which a provider | ||||||
14 | or alternate payee may request a hearing or a reconsideration | ||||||

17 | Illinois Department first withholds such payments. | ||||||
18 | (a) The Illinois Department must send notice of its | ||||||
19 | withholding of program payments within 5 days of taking | ||||||
20 | such action. The notice must set forth the general | ||||||
21 | allegations as to the nature of the withholding action but | ||||||
22 | need not disclose any specific information concerning its | ||||||
23 | ongoing investigation. The notice must do all of the | ||||||
24 | following: | ||||||
25 | (1) State that payments are being withheld in | ||||||
26 | accordance with this subsection. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (2) State that the withholding is for a temporary | ||||||
2 | period, as stated in paragraph (b) of this subsection, | ||||||
3 | and cite the circumstances under which withholding | ||||||

12 | written request may be made to the Illinois Department | ||||||
13 | for a hearing or a reconsideration for the full or | ||||||
14 | partial release of withheld payments and that such | ||||||
15 | requests may be made at any time after the Illinois | ||||||
16 | Department first withholds such payments. | ||||||

18 | subsection shall be temporary and shall not continue after | ||||||
19 | any of the following: | ||||||

21 | is insufficient evidence of fraud, or the provider or | ||||||
22 | alternate payee demonstrates clear cooperation with | ||||||
23 | the Illinois Department, as determined by the Illinois | ||||||
24 | Department, such that the circumstances do not give | ||||||
25 | rise to the need for withholding of payments; or | ||||||
26 | (2) The withholding of payments has lasted for a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | period in excess of 3 years. | ||||||
2 | (c) The Illinois Department may adopt all rules | ||||||
3 | necessary to implement this subsection (K-5). | ||||||
4 | (L) The Illinois Department shall establish a protocol to | ||||||
5 | enable health care providers to disclose an actual or potential | ||||||
6 | violation of this Section pursuant to a self-referral | ||||||
7 | disclosure protocol, referred to in this subsection as "the | ||||||
8 | protocol". The protocol shall include direction for health care | ||||||
9 | providers on a specific person, official, or office to whom | ||||||
10 | such disclosures shall be made. The Illinois Department shall | ||||||
11 | post information on the protocol on the Illinois Department's | ||||||
12 | public website. The Illinois Department may adopt rules | ||||||
13 | necessary to implement this subsection (L). In addition to | ||||||
14 | other factors that the Illinois Department finds appropriate, | ||||||
15 | the Illinois Department may consider a health care provider's | ||||||
16 | timely use or failure to use the protocol in considering the | ||||||
17 | provider's failure to comply with this Code. | ||||||
18 | (M) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the | ||||||
19 | Illinois Department, at its discretion, may exempt an entity | ||||||

23 | Sec. 7.5. Health Care Worker Registry. | ||||||
24 | (a) Reporting to the Registry. The Department on Aging | ||||||
25 | shall report to the Department of Public Health's Health Care |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Worker Registry the identity and administrative finding of a | ||||||
2 | verified and substantiated decision of abuse, neglect, or | ||||||
3 | financial exploitation of an eligible adult under this Act that | ||||||
4 | is made against any caregiver, including consultants and | ||||||

6 | regulated by, or paid with public funds from, the Department of | ||||||
7 | Public Health, Healthcare and Family Services, or Human | ||||||
8 | Services, or the Department on Aging. For uncompensated or | ||||||
9 | privately paid caregivers, the Department on Aging shall report | ||||||
10 | only a verified and substantiated decision of significant | ||||||
11 | abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation of an eligible adult | ||||||
12 | under this Act. An administrative finding placed in the | ||||||
13 | Registry shall preclude any caregiver from providing direct | ||||||
14 | access or other services, including consulting and | ||||||
15 | volunteering, in a position with a provider that is licensed, | ||||||
16 | certified, or regulated by, or paid with public funds from or | ||||||
17 | on behalf of, the State of Illinois or any Department thereof, | ||||||
18 | that permits the caregiver direct access to an adult aged 60 or | ||||||
19 | older or an adult, over 18, with a disability or to that | ||||||
20 | individual's living quarters or personal, financial, or | ||||||
21 | medical records. | ||||||
22 | (b) Definitions. As used in this Section: | ||||||
23 | "Direct care" includes, but is not limited to, direct | ||||||
24 | access to an individual, his or her living quarters, or his or | ||||||
25 | her personal, financial, or medical records for the purpose of | ||||||
26 | providing nursing care or assistance with feeding, dressing, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | movement, bathing, toileting, other personal needs and | ||||||
2 | activities of daily living, or assistance with financial | ||||||
3 | transactions. | ||||||
4 | "Privately paid caregiver" means any caregiver who has been | ||||||
5 | paid with resources other than public funds, regardless of | ||||||
6 | licensure, certification, or regulation by the State of | ||||||
7 | Illinois and any Department thereof. A privately paid caregiver | ||||||
8 | does not include any caregiver that has been licensed, | ||||||
9 | certified, or regulated by a State agency, or paid with public | ||||||
10 | funds. | ||||||
11 | "Significant" means a finding of abuse, neglect, or | ||||||
12 | financial exploitation as determined by the Department that (i) | ||||||
13 | represents a meaningful failure to adequately provide for, or a | ||||||
14 | material indifference to, the financial, health, safety, or | ||||||
15 | medical needs of an eligible adult or (ii) results in an | ||||||
16 | eligible adult's death or other serious deterioration of an | ||||||
17 | eligible adult's financial resources, physical condition, or | ||||||
18 | mental condition. | ||||||
19 | "Uncompensated caregiver" means a caregiver who, in an | ||||||
20 | informal capacity, assists an eligible adult with activities of | ||||||
21 | daily living, financial transactions, or chore housekeeping | ||||||
22 | type duties. "Uncompensated caregiver" does not refer to an | ||||||
23 | individual serving in a formal capacity as a volunteer with a | ||||||
24 | provider licensed, certified, or regulated by a State agency. | ||||||
25 | (c) Access to and use of the Registry. Access to the | ||||||
26 | Registry shall be limited to licensed, certified, or regulated |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | providers by the Department of Public Health, Healthcare and | ||||||
2 | Family Service, or Human Services, or the Department on Aging. | ||||||
3 | The State of Illinois, any Department thereof, or a provider | ||||||
4 | licensed, certified, or regulated, or paid with public funds | ||||||
5 | by, from, or on behalf of the Department of Public Health, | ||||||
6 | Healthcare and Family Services, or Human Services, or the | ||||||
7 | Department on Aging, shall not hire or compensate any person | ||||||
8 | seeking employment, retain any contractors, or accept any | ||||||
9 | volunteers to provide direct care without first conducting an | ||||||
10 | online check of the person through the Department of Public | ||||||
11 | Health's Health Care Worker Registry. The provider shall | ||||||
12 | maintain a copy of the results of the online check to | ||||||
13 | demonstrate compliance with this requirement. The provider is | ||||||
14 | prohibited from hiring, compensating, or accepting a person, | ||||||
15 | including as a consultant or volunteer, for whom the online | ||||||
16 | check reveals a verified and substantiated claim of abuse, | ||||||
17 | neglect, or financial exploitation, to provide direct access to | ||||||
18 | any adult aged 60 or older or any adult, over 18, with a | ||||||
19 | disability. Additionally, a provider is prohibited from | ||||||
20 | retaining a person for whom they gain knowledge of a verified | ||||||
21 | and substantiated claim of abuse, neglect, or financial | ||||||
22 | exploitation in a position that permits the caregiver direct | ||||||
23 | access to provide direct care to any adult aged 60 or older or | ||||||
24 | any adult, over 18, with a disability or direct access to that | ||||||
25 | individual's living quarters or personal, financial, or | ||||||
26 | medical records. Failure to comply with this requirement may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subject such a provider to corrective action by the appropriate | ||||||
2 | regulatory agency or other lawful remedies provided under the | ||||||
3 | applicable licensure, certification, or regulatory laws and | ||||||
4 | rules. | ||||||
5 | (d) Notice to caregiver. The Department on Aging shall
| ||||||
6 | establish rules concerning notice to the caregiver in cases of | ||||||
7 | abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation. | ||||||
8 | (e) Notification to eligible adults, guardians, or agents. | ||||||
9 | As part of its investigation, the Department on Aging shall | ||||||
10 | notify an eligible adult, or an eligible adult's guardian or | ||||||
11 | agent, that a caregiver's name may be placed on the Registry | ||||||
12 | based on a finding as described in subsection (a) (a-1) of this | ||||||
13 | Section. | ||||||
14 | (f) Notification to employer. A provider licensed, | ||||||
15 | certified, or regulated by the Department of Public Health, | ||||||
16 | Healthcare and Family Services, or Human Services, or the | ||||||
17 | Department on Aging shall be notified of an administrative | ||||||
18 | finding against any caregiver who is an employee, consultant, | ||||||
19 | or volunteer of a verified and substantiated decision of abuse, | ||||||
20 | neglect, or financial exploitation of an eligible adult under | ||||||
21 | this Act. If there is an imminent risk of danger to the | ||||||
22 | eligible adult or an imminent risk of misuse of personal, | ||||||
23 | medical, or financial information, the caregiver shall | ||||||
24 | immediately be barred from direct access to the eligible adult, | ||||||
25 | his or her living quarters, or his or her personal, financial, | ||||||
26 | or medical records, pending the outcome of any challenge, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | criminal prosecution, or other type of collateral action. | ||||||
2 | (g) Caregiver challenges. The Department on Aging
shall | ||||||
3 | establish, by rule, procedures concerning caregiver | ||||||
4 | challenges. | ||||||
5 | (h) Caregiver's rights to collateral action. The | ||||||
6 | Department on Aging shall not make any report to the Registry | ||||||
7 | if a caregiver notifies the Department in writing, including | ||||||
8 | any supporting documentation, that he or she is formally | ||||||
9 | challenging an adverse employment action resulting from a | ||||||
10 | verified and substantiated finding of abuse, neglect, or | ||||||
11 | financial exploitation by complaint filed with the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Civil Service Commission, or by another means which seeks to | ||||||
13 | enforce the caregiver's rights pursuant to any applicable | ||||||
14 | collective bargaining agreement. If an action taken by an | ||||||
15 | employer against a caregiver as a result of a finding of abuse, | ||||||
16 | neglect, or financial exploitation is overturned through an | ||||||
17 | action filed with the Illinois Civil Service Commission or | ||||||
18 | under any applicable collective bargaining agreement after | ||||||
19 | that caregiver's name has already been sent to the Registry, | ||||||
20 | the caregiver's name shall be removed from the Registry. | ||||||
21 | (i) Removal from Registry. At any time after a report to | ||||||
22 | the Registry, but no more than once in each successive 3-year | ||||||
23 | period thereafter, for a maximum of 3 such requests, a | ||||||
24 | caregiver may write to the Director of the Department on Aging | ||||||
25 | to request removal of his or her name from the Registry in | ||||||
26 | relationship to a single incident. The caregiver shall bear the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | burden of showing cause that establishes, by a preponderance of | ||||||
2 | the evidence, that removal of his or her name from the Registry | ||||||
3 | is in the public interest. Upon receiving such a request, the | ||||||
4 | Department on Aging shall conduct an investigation and consider | ||||||
5 | any evidentiary material provided. The Department shall issue a | ||||||
6 | decision either granting or denying removal within 60 calendar | ||||||
7 | days, and shall issue such decision to the caregiver and the | ||||||
8 | Registry. The waiver process at the Department of Public Health | ||||||
9 | does not apply to Registry reports from the Department on | ||||||
10 | Aging. The Department on Aging shall establish standards for | ||||||
11 | the removal of a name from the Registry by rule. | ||||||
12 | (j) Referral of Registry reports to health care facilities. | ||||||
13 | In the event an eligible adult receiving services from a | ||||||
14 | provider agency changes his or her residence from a domestic | ||||||
15 | living situation to that of a health care facility, the | ||||||
16 | provider agency shall use reasonable efforts to promptly inform | ||||||
17 | the health care facility and the appropriate Regional Long Term | ||||||
18 | Care Ombudsman about any Registry reports relating to the | ||||||
19 | eligible adult. For purposes of this Section, a health care | ||||||
20 | facility includes, but is not limited to, any residential | ||||||
21 | facility licensed, certified, or regulated by the Department of | ||||||
22 | Public Health, Healthcare and Family Services, or Human | ||||||
23 | Services.

18 | professional
person required to report
and his patient or | ||||||
19 | client shall not apply to situations involving abused or

21 | to report
as required by this Act or constitute grounds for | ||||||
22 | failure to share information or documents with the Department | ||||||
23 | during the course of a child abuse or neglect investigation. If | ||||||

14 | the requirements of this Act that are provided to employees of | ||||||
15 | the office, clinic, or physical location who are required to | ||||||
16 | make reports to the Department under this Act, and instruct | ||||||
17 | such office personnel to bring to the attention of an employee | ||||||
18 | of the office, clinic, or physical location who is required to | ||||||
19 | make reports to the Department under this Act any reasonable | ||||||
20 | suspicion that a child known to him or her in his or her | ||||||
21 | professional or official capacity may be an abused child or a | ||||||
22 | neglected child. In addition to the above persons required to
| ||||||
23 | report suspected cases of abused or neglected children, any | ||||||
24 | other person
may make a report if such person has reasonable | ||||||
25 | cause to believe a child
may be an abused child or a neglected | ||||||
26 | child.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Any person who enters into
employment on and after July 1, | ||||||
2 | 1986 and is mandated by virtue of that

| ||||||
10 | The Department shall provide copies of this Act, upon | ||||||
11 | request, to all
employers employing persons who shall be | ||||||
12 | required under the provisions of
this Section to report under | ||||||
13 | this Act.
| ||||||
14 | Any person who knowingly transmits a false report to the | ||||||
15 | Department
commits the offense of disorderly conduct under | ||||||
16 | subsection (a)(7) of
Section 26-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012. | ||||||
17 | A violation of this provision is a Class 4 felony.
| ||||||
18 | Any person who knowingly and willfully violates any | ||||||
19 | provision of this
Section other than a second or subsequent | ||||||

| ||||||
21 | preceding paragraph, is guilty of a
Class A misdemeanor for
a | ||||||
22 | first violation and a Class
4 felony for a
second or subsequent | ||||||
23 | violation; except that if the person acted as part
of a plan or | ||||||
24 | scheme having as its object the
prevention of discovery of an | ||||||
25 | abused or neglected child by lawful authorities
for the
purpose | ||||||
26 | of protecting or insulating any person or entity from arrest or
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | prosecution, the
person is guilty of a Class 4 felony for a | ||||||
2 | first offense and a Class 3 felony
for a second or
subsequent | ||||||
3 | offense (regardless of whether the second or subsequent offense
| ||||||
4 | involves any
of the same facts or persons as the first or other | ||||||
5 | prior offense).
| ||||||
6 | A child whose parent, guardian or custodian in good faith | ||||||
7 | selects and depends
upon spiritual means through prayer alone | ||||||
8 | for the treatment or cure of
disease or remedial care may be | ||||||
9 | considered neglected or abused, but not for
the sole reason | ||||||
10 | that his parent, guardian or custodian accepts and
practices | ||||||
11 | such beliefs.
| ||||||
12 | A child shall not be considered neglected or abused solely | ||||||
13 | because the
child is not attending school in accordance with | ||||||
14 | the requirements of
Article 26 of the School Code, as amended.
| ||||||
15 | Nothing in this Act prohibits a mandated reporter who | ||||||
16 | reasonably believes that an animal is being abused or neglected | ||||||
17 | in violation of the Humane Care for Animals Act from reporting | ||||||
18 | animal abuse or neglect to the Department of Agriculture's | ||||||
19 | Bureau of Animal Health and Welfare. | ||||||
20 | A home rule unit may not regulate the reporting of child | ||||||
21 | abuse or neglect in a manner inconsistent with the provisions | ||||||
22 | of this Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection | ||||||
23 | (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on | ||||||
24 | the concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and | ||||||
25 | functions exercised by the State. | ||||||

8 | qualifications of the current or former employee because he or | ||||||
9 | she is an applicant for employment with the requesting school | ||||||
10 | district, the general superintendent of the school district to | ||||||

7 | in his capacity as a member of
the staff of a medical or other | ||||||
8 | public or private institution, school, facility

21 | required under the provisions of
this Section to report under | ||||||
22 | this Act.
| ||||||
23 | Any person who knowingly transmits a false report to the | ||||||

commits the offense of disorderly conduct under | ||||||

8 | abused or neglected child by lawful authorities
for the
purpose | ||||||
9 | of protecting or insulating any person or entity from arrest or

For any investigation or appeal initiated on or | ||||||
18 | after, or
pending on July 1, 1998, the following time frames | ||||||
19 | shall apply.
Within 60 days after the notification of the | ||||||
20 | completion
of the Child Protective Service Unit investigation, | ||||||
21 | determined by the date
of the notification sent by the | ||||||
22 | Department, the perpetrator named in the notification may
| ||||||
23 | request the Department to amend the record or
remove the record | ||||||
24 | of the report from the register, except that the 60-day | ||||||
25 | deadline for filing a request to amend the record or remove the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | record of the report from the State Central Register shall be | ||||||
2 | tolled until after the conclusion of any criminal court action | ||||||
3 | in the circuit court or after adjudication in any juvenile | ||||||
4 | court action concerning the circumstances that give rise to an | ||||||
5 | indicated report. Such request shall be
in writing and directed | ||||||
6 | to such person as the Department designates in the
notification | ||||||
7 | letter notifying the perpetrator of the indicated finding. The | ||||||
8 | perpetrator shall have the right to a timely
hearing within
the | ||||||
9 | Department to determine whether the record of the report should | ||||||
10 | be
amended or removed on the grounds that it is inaccurate or | ||||||
11 | it is
being
maintained in a manner inconsistent with this Act, | ||||||
12 | except that there
shall be no such right to a hearing on the | ||||||
13 | ground of the report's
inaccuracy if there has been a court | ||||||
14 | finding of child abuse or neglect or a criminal finding of | ||||||
15 | guilt as to the perpetrator. Such
hearing shall be held within | ||||||
16 | a reasonable time after the perpetrator's request
and at a | ||||||
17 | reasonable place and hour. The appropriate Child Protective
| ||||||
18 | Service Unit shall be given notice of the hearing. If the | ||||||
19 | minor, who is the victim named in the report sought to be | ||||||
20 | amended or removed from the State Central Register, is the | ||||||
21 | subject of a pending action under Article II of the Juvenile | ||||||
22 | Court Act of 1987, and the report was made while a guardian ad | ||||||
23 | litem was appointed for the minor under Section 2-17 of the | ||||||
24 | Juvenile Court Act of 1987, then the minor shall, through the | ||||||
25 | minor's attorney or guardian ad litem appointed under Section | ||||||
26 | 2-17 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, have the right to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | participate and be heard in such hearing as defined under the | ||||||
2 | Department's rules. In such hearings, the
burden of proving the | ||||||
3 | accuracy and consistency of the record shall be on
the | ||||||
4 | Department and the appropriate Child Protective Service Unit. | ||||||
5 | The
hearing shall be conducted by the Director or his designee, | ||||||
6 | who is hereby
authorized and empowered to order the amendment | ||||||
7 | or removal of
the record to make it accurate and consistent | ||||||
8 | with this Act. The decision
shall be made, in writing, at the | ||||||
9 | close of the hearing, or within 60
days
thereof, and shall | ||||||
10 | state the reasons upon which it is based. Decisions of
the | ||||||
11 | Department under this Section are administrative decisions | ||||||
12 | subject to
judicial review under the Administrative Review Law.
| ||||||
13 | Should the Department grant the request of the perpetrator
| ||||||
14 | pursuant to this Section either on administrative review or | ||||||
15 | after
an administrative hearing to amend an indicated report to | ||||||
16 | an unfounded report, the
report shall be released and expunged | ||||||
17 | in accordance
with the standards set forth in Section 7.14 of | ||||||
18 | this Act.

| ||||||
5 | Section 560. The Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
6 | Disabilities Code is amended by changing Section 2-107.1 as | ||||||
7 | follows:
| ||||||
8 | (405 ILCS 5/2-107.1) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 2-107.1)
| ||||||
9 | Sec. 2-107.1. Administration of psychotropic medication | ||||||
10 | and electroconvulsive therapy
upon
application to a court. | ||||||
11 | (a) (Blank).
| ||||||
12 | (a-5) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2-107 of | ||||||
13 | this
Code, psychotropic medication and electroconvulsive | ||||||
14 | therapy may be administered to an adult recipient of
services | ||||||
15 | on an inpatient or outpatient basis without the informed | ||||||
16 | consent of the recipient under the following
standards:
| ||||||
17 | (1) Any person 18 years of age or older, including any | ||||||
18 | guardian, may
petition the circuit court for an order | ||||||
19 | authorizing the administration of psychotropic medication | ||||||
20 | and electroconvulsive therapy to a recipient
of services.
| ||||||
21 | The petition shall state that the petitioner has made a | ||||||
22 | good faith attempt to
determine whether the recipient has | ||||||
23 | executed a power of attorney for health
care under the | ||||||
24 | Powers of Attorney for Health Care Law or a declaration for
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | mental health treatment under the Mental Health Treatment | ||||||
2 | Preference
Declaration Act and to obtain copies of these | ||||||
3 | instruments if they exist. If
either of the above-named | ||||||
4 | instruments is available to the petitioner, the
instrument | ||||||
5 | or a copy of the instrument shall be attached to the | ||||||
6 | petition as
an exhibit.
The petitioner shall deliver a copy | ||||||
7 | of the petition, and notice of the time
and place of the | ||||||
8 | hearing, to the respondent, his or her attorney, any known
| ||||||
9 | agent or
attorney-in-fact, if any, and the
guardian, if | ||||||
10 | any, no later than 3 days prior to the date of the
hearing.
| ||||||
11 | Service of the petition and notice of the time and place of | ||||||
12 | the hearing may
be made by transmitting them via facsimile | ||||||
13 | machine to the
respondent or other party. Upon receipt of | ||||||
14 | the petition and notice, the party
served, or the person | ||||||
15 | delivering the petition and notice to
the party served, | ||||||
16 | shall acknowledge service. If the party sending the | ||||||
17 | petition
and notice does not receive acknowledgement of | ||||||
18 | service
within 24 hours, service must be made by personal | ||||||
19 | service.
| ||||||
20 | The
petition may include a request that the court | ||||||
21 | authorize such testing and
procedures as may be essential | ||||||
22 | for the safe and effective administration of the | ||||||
23 | psychotropic medication or electroconvulsive therapy | ||||||
24 | sought to be
administered, but only where the
petition
sets | ||||||
25 | forth the specific testing and procedures sought to be | ||||||
26 | administered.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If a hearing is requested to be held immediately | ||||||
2 | following the hearing on
a petition for
involuntary | ||||||
3 | admission, then the notice requirement shall be the same as | ||||||
4 | that
for the hearing on
the petition for involuntary | ||||||
5 | admission, and the petition filed pursuant to this
Section | ||||||
6 | shall be filed
with the petition for involuntary admission.
| ||||||
7 | (2) The court shall hold a hearing within 7 days of the | ||||||
8 | filing
of the petition. The People, the petitioner, or the | ||||||
9 | respondent shall be
entitled
to a continuance of up to 7 | ||||||
10 | days as of right. An additional
continuance of not more | ||||||
11 | than 7 days may be granted to
any party (i)
upon a showing | ||||||
12 | that the continuance is needed in order
to adequately
| ||||||
13 | prepare for or present evidence in a hearing under this | ||||||
14 | Section or
(ii) under exceptional circumstances. The court | ||||||
15 | may
grant an additional continuance
not to exceed 21 days | ||||||
16 | when, in its discretion, the court determines that such a
| ||||||
17 | continuance is necessary in order to provide the recipient | ||||||
18 | with an examination
pursuant to Section 3-803 or 3-804 of | ||||||
19 | this Act, to provide the recipient with a
trial by jury as | ||||||
20 | provided in Section 3-802 of this Act, or to arrange for | ||||||
21 | the
substitution of counsel as provided for by the Illinois | ||||||
22 | Supreme Court Rules.
The hearing shall be
separate from a | ||||||
23 | judicial proceeding held to determine whether a person is
| ||||||
24 | subject to involuntary admission but may be heard | ||||||
25 | immediately preceding or
following such a judicial | ||||||
26 | proceeding and may be heard by the same trier of fact
or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | law as in that judicial proceeding.
| ||||||
2 | (3) Unless otherwise provided herein, the procedures | ||||||
3 | set forth in
Article VIII of Chapter III 3 of this Act, | ||||||
4 | including the provisions regarding
appointment of counsel, | ||||||
5 | shall govern hearings held under this subsection
(a-5).
| ||||||
6 | (4) Psychotropic medication and electroconvulsive | ||||||
7 | therapy may be administered to the recipient if and only if
| ||||||
8 | it has been determined by clear and convincing evidence | ||||||
9 | that all of
the following factors are present. In | ||||||
10 | determining whether a person meets the criteria specified | ||||||
11 | in the following
paragraphs (A) through (G), the court may | ||||||
12 | consider evidence of the person's history of
serious | ||||||
13 | violence, repeated past pattern of specific behavior, | ||||||
14 | actions related to the person's
illness, or past outcomes | ||||||
15 | of various treatment options.
| ||||||
16 | (A) That the recipient has a serious mental illness | ||||||
17 | or
developmental disability.
| ||||||
18 | (B) That because of said mental illness or | ||||||
19 | developmental disability,
the recipient currently | ||||||
20 | exhibits any one of the following: (i)
deterioration of | ||||||
21 | his
or her ability to function, as compared to the | ||||||
22 | recipient's ability to
function prior to the current | ||||||
23 | onset of symptoms of the mental illness or
disability | ||||||
24 | for which treatment is presently sought, (ii) | ||||||
25 | suffering, or (iii)
threatening
behavior.
| ||||||
26 | (C) That the illness or disability has existed for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | a period marked by
the continuing presence of the | ||||||
2 | symptoms set forth in item (B) of this
subdivision (4) | ||||||
3 | or the repeated episodic occurrence of these symptoms.
| ||||||
4 | (D) That the benefits of the treatment
outweigh the | ||||||
5 | harm.
| ||||||
6 | (E) That the recipient lacks the capacity to make a
| ||||||
7 | reasoned
decision about the treatment.
| ||||||
8 | (F) That other less restrictive services have been | ||||||
9 | explored
and found inappropriate.
| ||||||
10 | (G) If the petition seeks authorization for | ||||||
11 | testing and other
procedures,
that such testing and | ||||||
12 | procedures are essential for the safe and effective
| ||||||
13 | administration of the treatment.
| ||||||
14 | (5) In no event shall an order issued under this | ||||||
15 | Section be effective
for more than 90 days.
A second 90-day | ||||||
16 | period of involuntary treatment may be authorized pursuant | ||||||
17 | to
a hearing that
complies
with the standards and | ||||||
18 | procedures of this subsection (a-5).
Thereafter, | ||||||
19 | additional 180-day periods of involuntary treatment may be
| ||||||
20 | authorized pursuant to
the standards and procedures of this | ||||||
21 | Section without limit.
If a new petition to authorize the | ||||||
22 | administration of psychotropic medication or | ||||||
23 | electroconvulsive therapy
is filed at least 15 days prior | ||||||
24 | to the
expiration of the prior order, and if
any | ||||||
25 | continuance of the hearing is agreed to by the recipient, | ||||||
26 | the
administration of the treatment may continue in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | accordance
with
the prior order
pending the completion of a | ||||||
2 | hearing under this Section.
| ||||||
3 | (6) An order issued under this subsection (a-5) shall
| ||||||
4 | designate the persons
authorized to administer the | ||||||
5 | treatment under the
standards
and procedures of this | ||||||
6 | subsection (a-5).
Those persons shall have complete | ||||||
7 | discretion not to administer any
treatment authorized | ||||||
8 | under this Section.
The order shall also specify the | ||||||
9 | medications and the anticipated range of
dosages that have | ||||||
10 | been authorized and may include a list of any alternative
| ||||||
11 | medications and range of dosages deemed necessary.
| ||||||
12 | (a-10) The court may, in its discretion, appoint a guardian | ||||||
13 | ad litem for a recipient before the court or authorize an | ||||||
14 | existing guardian of the person to monitor treatment and | ||||||
15 | compliance with court orders under this Section.
| ||||||
16 | (b) A guardian may be authorized to consent to the | ||||||
17 | administration
of psychotropic medication or electroconvulsive | ||||||
18 | therapy to an
objecting recipient only under the
standards and | ||||||
19 | procedures of subsection (a-5).
| ||||||
20 | (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a | ||||||
21 | guardian may
consent to the administration of psychotropic | ||||||
22 | medication or electroconvulsive therapy to a
non-objecting
| ||||||
23 | recipient under Article XIa of the Probate Act of 1975.
| ||||||
24 | (d) Nothing in this Section shall prevent the | ||||||
25 | administration of psychotropic medication or electroconvulsive | ||||||
26 | therapy to recipients
in an emergency under Section 2-107 of
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | this Act.
| ||||||
2 | (e) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section, | ||||||
3 | psychotropic medication or electroconvulsive therapy may be | ||||||
4 | administered pursuant to a power of attorney for
health care | ||||||
5 | under the Powers of Attorney for Health Care Law or a | ||||||
6 | declaration
for mental health treatment under the Mental Health | ||||||
7 | Treatment Preference
Declaration Act.
| ||||||

9 | physicians and registered nurses working in State-operated | ||||||
10 | mental health facilities on the appropriate use of psychotropic | ||||||
11 | medication and electroconvulsive therapy, standards for their | ||||||
12 | use, and the preparation of court petitions under this Section.

The Department shall establish eligibility | ||||||
19 | standards for
the Program, taking into consideration the | ||||||
20 | disability levels and service
needs of the target population. | ||||||
21 | The Department shall create application
forms which shall be | ||||||
22 | used to determine the eligibility of mentally disabled
adults | ||||||
23 | to participate in the Program. The forms shall be made | ||||||
24 | available by
the Department and shall require at least the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | following items of
information which constitute eligibility | ||||||
2 | criteria for participation in the

19 | liability of
responsible relatives of a recipient of services | ||||||
20 | under this Article for the
payment of sums representing charges | ||||||

1 | Section 580. The Newborn Metabolic Screening Act is amended | ||||||
2 | by changing Section 2 as follows:
| ||||||
3 | (410 ILCS 240/2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4904)
| ||||||
4 | Sec. 2. General provisions. The Department of Public Health | ||||||
5 | shall administer the
provisions of this Act and shall:
| ||||||
6 | (a) Institute and carry on an intensive educational program | ||||||
7 | among
physicians, hospitals, public health nurses and the | ||||||
8 | public concerning disorders included in newborn screening. | ||||||
9 | This
educational program shall include information about the | ||||||
10 | nature of the
diseases and examinations for the detection of | ||||||
11 | the diseases in early
infancy in order that measures may be | ||||||
12 | taken to prevent the disabilities resulting from the diseases.
| ||||||
13 | (a-5) Require that all newborns be screened
for the | ||||||
14 | presence of certain genetic, metabolic, and congenital | ||||||
15 | anomalies as determined by the Department, by rule. | ||||||
16 | (a-5.1) Require that all blood and biological specimens | ||||||
17 | collected pursuant to this Act or the rules adopted under this | ||||||
18 | Act be submitted for testing to the nearest Department | ||||||
19 | laboratory designated to perform such tests. The following | ||||||
20 | provisions shall apply concerning testing: | ||||||
21 | (1) The Department may develop a reasonable fee | ||||||
22 | structure and may levy fees according to such structure to | ||||||
23 | cover the cost of providing this testing service and for | ||||||
24 | the follow-up of infants with an abnormal screening test. | ||||||
25 | Fees collected from the provision of this testing service |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be placed in the Metabolic Screening and Treatment | ||||||
2 | Fund. Other State and federal funds for expenses related to | ||||||
3 | metabolic screening, follow-up, and treatment programs may | ||||||
4 | also be placed in the Fund. | ||||||
5 | (2) Moneys shall be appropriated from the Fund to the | ||||||
6 | Department solely for the purposes of providing newborn | ||||||
7 | screening, follow-up, and treatment programs. Nothing in | ||||||
8 | this Act shall be construed to prohibit any licensed | ||||||
9 | medical facility from collecting additional specimens for | ||||||
10 | testing for metabolic or neonatal diseases or any other | ||||||
11 | diseases or conditions, as it deems fit. Any person | ||||||
12 | violating the provisions of this subsection (a-5.1) is | ||||||
13 | guilty of a petty offense. | ||||||
14 | (3) If the Department is unable to provide the | ||||||
15 | screening using the
State Laboratory, it shall temporarily | ||||||
16 | provide such screening
through an accredited laboratory | ||||||
17 | selected by the Department until the
Department has the | ||||||
18 | capacity to provide screening through the State
| ||||||
19 | Laboratory. If screening is provided on a temporary basis
| ||||||
20 | through an accredited laboratory, the Department shall | ||||||
21 | substitute the fee
charged by the accredited laboratory, | ||||||
22 | plus a 5% surcharge for
documentation and handling, for the | ||||||
23 | fee authorized in this subsection (a-5.1). | ||||||
24 | (a-5.2) Maintain a registry of cases, including | ||||||
25 | information of importance for the purpose of follow-up services | ||||||
26 | to assess long-term outcomes. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a-5.3) Supply the necessary metabolic treatment formulas | ||||||
2 | where practicable for diagnosed cases of amino acid metabolism | ||||||
3 | disorders, including phenylketonuria, organic acid disorders, | ||||||
4 | and fatty acid oxidation disorders for as long as medically | ||||||
5 | indicated, when the product is not available through other | ||||||
6 | State agencies. | ||||||
7 | (a-5.4) Arrange for or provide public health nursing, | ||||||
8 | nutrition, and social services and clinical consultation as | ||||||
9 | indicated. | ||||||

11 | and Metabolic Diseases Advisory Committee established under | ||||||
12 | the Genetic and Metabolic Diseases Advisory Committee Act to | ||||||
13 | provide guidance and recommendations to the Department's | ||||||
14 | newborn screening program. The Genetic and Metabolic Diseases | ||||||
15 | Advisory Committee shall review the feasibility and | ||||||
16 | advisability of including additional metabolic, genetic, and | ||||||
17 | congenital disorders in the newborn screening panel, according | ||||||
18 | to a review protocol applied to each suggested addition to the | ||||||
19 | screening panel. The Department shall consider the | ||||||
20 | recommendations of the Genetic and Metabolic Diseases Advisory | ||||||
21 | Committee in determining whether to include an additional | ||||||
22 | disorder in the screening panel prior to proposing an | ||||||
23 | administrative rule concerning inclusion of an additional | ||||||
24 | disorder in the newborn screening panel. Notwithstanding any | ||||||
25 | other provision of law, no new screening may begin prior to the | ||||||
26 | occurrence of all the following: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (1) the establishment and verification of relevant and
| ||||||

owner or operator of each of the following | ||||||
18 | sites a fee in the amount of:
| ||||||
19 | (A) 9 cents per gallon or $18.18 per cubic yard, if | ||||||
20 | the
hazardous waste disposal site is located off the | ||||||
21 | site where such waste was
produced. The maximum amount | ||||||
22 | payable under this subdivision (A) with respect
to the | ||||||
23 | hazardous waste generated by a single generator and | ||||||
24 | deposited in
monofills is $30,000 per year. If, as a | ||||||
25 | result of the use of multiple monofills, waste
fees in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | excess of the maximum are assessed with respect to a | ||||||
2 | single waste
generator, the generator may apply to the | ||||||
3 | Agency for a credit.
| ||||||
4 | (B) 9 cents or $18.18 per cubic yard, if the | ||||||
5 | hazardous waste
disposal site is located on the site | ||||||
6 | where such waste was produced,
provided however the | ||||||
7 | maximum amount of fees payable under this paragraph
(B) | ||||||
8 | is $30,000 per year for each such hazardous waste | ||||||
9 | disposal site.
| ||||||
10 | (C) If the hazardous waste disposal site is an | ||||||
11 | underground injection
well, $6,000 per year if not more | ||||||
12 | than 10,000,000 gallons per year are
injected, $15,000 | ||||||
13 | per year if more than 10,000,000 gallons but not more | ||||||
14 | than
50,000,000 gallons per year are injected, and | ||||||
15 | $27,000 per year if more than
50,000,000 gallons per | ||||||
16 | year are injected.
| ||||||
17 | (D) 3 cents per gallon or
$6.06 per cubic yard of | ||||||
18 | hazardous waste received
for treatment at a hazardous | ||||||
19 | waste treatment site, if the hazardous waste
treatment | ||||||
20 | site is located off the site where such waste was | ||||||
21 | produced and
if such hazardous waste treatment site is | ||||||
22 | owned, controlled and operated
by a person other than | ||||||
23 | the generator of such waste.
After treatment at such | ||||||
24 | hazardous waste treatment site, the waste shall
not be | ||||||
25 | subject to any other fee imposed by this subsection | ||||||
26 | (b). For purposes
of this subsection (b), the term |
| |||||||

12 | this Section, the
Agency shall manage the use of such funds | ||||||
13 | to assure that sufficient funds
are available for match | ||||||
14 | towards federal expenditures for response action at
sites | ||||||
15 | which are listed on the National Priorities List; provided, | ||||||
16 | however,
that this shall not apply to additional monies | ||||||
17 | appropriated to the Fund by
the General Assembly, nor shall | ||||||
18 | it apply in the event that the Director
finds that revenues | ||||||
19 | in the Hazardous Waste Fund must be used to address
| ||||||
20 | conditions which create or may create an immediate danger | ||||||
21 | to the
environment or public health or to the welfare of | ||||||
22 | the people of the State
of Illinois.

25 | by a preponderance of
the evidence that (i) he exercised | ||||||
26 | due care with respect to the hazardous

| ||||||
10 | (3) There shall be no liability under this Section for | ||||||
11 | damages as a result

26 | person
(including, but not limited to, an owner of residential |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property who applies a

| ||||||
13 | (4.5) There shall be no liability under subdivision (f)(1) | ||||||
14 | of this Section

| ||||||
23 | (4.6) There shall be no liability under subdivision (f)(1) | ||||||
24 | of this
Section for response costs or damages as the result of | ||||||
25 | a substantial threat of
a release of a pesticide from an | ||||||
26 | agrichemical facility site if
the Agency has received notice |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | from the Department of Agriculture pursuant to
Section 19.3 of | ||||||
2 | the Illinois Pesticide Act and the owner or operator of the
| ||||||
3 | agrichemical facility is proceeding with a corrective action | ||||||
4 | plan under the
Agrichemical Facility Response Action Program | ||||||
5 | implemented under that
Section.
| ||||||
6 | (5) Nothing in this subsection (j) shall affect or modify | ||||||
7 | in any way the
obligations or liability of any person under any | ||||||
8 | other provision of this
Act or State or federal law, including | ||||||
9 | common law, for damages, injury,
or loss resulting from a | ||||||
10 | release or substantial threat of a release of any
hazardous | ||||||
11 | substance or for removal or remedial action or the costs of | ||||||
12 | removal
or remedial action of such hazardous substance.
| ||||||
13 | (6)(A) The term "contractual relationship", for the | ||||||
14 | purpose of this
subsection includes, but is not limited to, | ||||||
15 | land contracts, deeds or other
instruments transferring title | ||||||
16 | or possession, unless the real property on
which the facility | ||||||
17 | concerned is located was acquired by the defendant after
the | ||||||
18 | disposal or placement of the hazardous substance on, in, or at | ||||||
19 | the
facility, and one or more of the circumstances described in | ||||||
20 | clause (i),
(ii), or (iii) of this paragraph is also | ||||||
21 | established by the defendant by a
preponderance of the | ||||||
22 | evidence:
| ||||||
23 | (i) At the time the defendant acquired the facility the | ||||||
24 | defendant did
not know and had no reason to know that any | ||||||
25 | hazardous substance which is
the subject of the release or | ||||||
26 | threatened release was disposed of on, in or
at the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | facility.
| ||||||
2 | (ii) The defendant is a government entity which | ||||||
3 | acquired the facility by
escheat, or through any other | ||||||
4 | involuntary transfer or acquisition, or
through the | ||||||
5 | exercise of eminent domain authority by purchase or | ||||||
6 | condemnation.
| ||||||
7 | (iii) The defendant acquired the facility by | ||||||
8 | inheritance or bequest.
| ||||||
9 | In addition to establishing the foregoing, the defendant | ||||||
10 | must establish
that he has satisfied the requirements of | ||||||
11 | subparagraph (C) of paragraph (l)
of this subsection (j).
| ||||||
12 | (B) To establish the defendant had no reason to know, as | ||||||
13 | provided in
clause (i) of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, | ||||||
14 | the defendant must have
undertaken, at the time of acquisition, | ||||||
15 | all appropriate inquiry into the
previous ownership and uses of | ||||||
16 | the property consistent with good commercial
or customary | ||||||
17 | practice in an effort to minimize liability. For purposes of
| ||||||
18 | the preceding sentence, the court shall take into account any | ||||||
19 | specialized
knowledge or experience on the part of the | ||||||
20 | defendant, the relationship of
the purchase price to the value | ||||||
21 | of the property if uncontaminated, commonly
known or reasonably | ||||||
22 | ascertainable information about the property, the
obviousness | ||||||
23 | of the presence or likely presence of contamination at the
| ||||||
24 | property, and the ability to detect such contamination by | ||||||
25 | appropriate
inspection.
| ||||||
26 | (C) Nothing in this paragraph (6) or in subparagraph (C) of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paragraph
(1) of this subsection shall diminish the liability | ||||||
2 | of any previous owner
or operator of such facility who would | ||||||
3 | otherwise be liable under this Act.
Notwithstanding this | ||||||
4 | paragraph (6), if the defendant obtained actual
knowledge of | ||||||
5 | the release or threatened release of a hazardous substance at
| ||||||
6 | such facility when the defendant owned the real property and | ||||||
7 | then
subsequently transferred ownership of the property to | ||||||
8 | another person
without disclosing such knowledge, such | ||||||
9 | defendant shall be treated as
liable under subsection (f) of | ||||||
10 | this Section and no defense under
subparagraph (C) of paragraph | ||||||
11 | (1) of this subsection shall be available
to such defendant.
| ||||||
12 | (D) Nothing in this paragraph (6) shall affect the | ||||||
13 | liability under this
Act of a defendant who, by any act or | ||||||
14 | omission, caused or contributed to
the release or threatened | ||||||
15 | release of a hazardous substance which is the
subject of the | ||||||
16 | action relating to the facility.
| ||||||
17 | (E)(i) Except as provided in clause (ii) of this | ||||||
18 | subparagraph (E), a
defendant who has acquired real property | ||||||
19 | shall have established a rebuttable
presumption against all | ||||||
20 | State claims and a conclusive presumption against all
private | ||||||
21 | party claims that the defendant has made all appropriate | ||||||
22 | inquiry within
the meaning of subdivision (6)(B) of this | ||||||
23 | subsection (j) if the defendant
proves that immediately prior | ||||||
24 | to or at the time of the acquisition:
| ||||||
25 | (I) the defendant obtained a Phase I Environmental | ||||||
26 | Audit of the real
property that meets or exceeds the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | requirements of this subparagraph (E), and
the Phase I | ||||||
2 | Environmental Audit did not disclose the presence or likely
| ||||||
3 | presence of a release or a substantial threat of a release | ||||||
4 | of a hazardous
substance or pesticide at, on, to, or from | ||||||
5 | the real property; or
| ||||||
6 | (II) the defendant obtained a Phase II Environmental | ||||||
7 | Audit of the real
property that meets or exceeds the | ||||||
8 | requirements of this subparagraph (E), and
the Phase II | ||||||
9 | Environmental Audit did not disclose the presence or likely
| ||||||
10 | presence of a release or a substantial threat of a release | ||||||
11 | of a hazardous
substance or pesticide at, on, to, or from | ||||||
12 | the real property.
| ||||||
13 | (ii) No presumption shall be created under clause (i) of | ||||||
14 | this subparagraph
(E), and a defendant shall be precluded from | ||||||
15 | demonstrating that the defendant
has made all appropriate | ||||||
16 | inquiry within the meaning of subdivision (6)(B) of
this | ||||||
17 | subsection (j), if:
| ||||||
18 | (I) the defendant fails to obtain all Environmental | ||||||
19 | Audits required under
this subparagraph (E) or any such | ||||||
20 | Environmental Audit fails to meet or exceed
the | ||||||
21 | requirements of this subparagraph (E);
| ||||||
22 | (II) a Phase I Environmental Audit discloses the | ||||||
23 | presence or likely
presence of a release or a substantial | ||||||
24 | threat of a release of a hazardous
substance or pesticide | ||||||
25 | at, on, to, or from real property, and the defendant
fails | ||||||
26 | to obtain a Phase II Environmental Audit;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (III) a Phase II Environmental Audit discloses the | ||||||
2 | presence or likely
presence of a release or a substantial | ||||||
3 | threat of a release of a hazardous
substance or pesticide | ||||||
4 | at, on, to, or from the real property;
| ||||||
5 | (IV) the defendant fails to maintain a written | ||||||
6 | compilation and explanatory
summary report of the | ||||||
7 | information reviewed in the course of each Environmental
| ||||||
8 | Audit under this subparagraph (E); or
| ||||||
9 | (V) there is any evidence of fraud, material | ||||||
10 | concealment, or material
misrepresentation by the | ||||||
11 | defendant of environmental conditions or of related
| ||||||
12 | information discovered during the course of an | ||||||
13 | Environmental Audit.
| ||||||
14 | (iii) For purposes of this subparagraph (E), the term | ||||||
15 | "environmental
professional" means an individual (other than a | ||||||
16 | practicing attorney) who,
through academic training, | ||||||
17 | occupational experience, and reputation (such as
engineers, | ||||||
18 | industrial hygienists, or geologists) can objectively conduct | ||||||
19 | one or
more aspects of an Environmental Audit and who either:
| ||||||
20 | (I) maintains at the time of the Environmental Audit | ||||||
21 | and for at least one
year thereafter at least $500,000 of | ||||||
22 | environmental consultants' professional
liability | ||||||
23 | insurance coverage issued by an insurance company licensed | ||||||
24 | to do
business in Illinois; or
| ||||||
25 | (II) is an Illinois licensed professional engineer or a | ||||||
26 | Certified Industrial Hygienist certified by the American |

2 | An environmental professional may employ persons who are | ||||||
3 | not environmental
professionals to assist in the preparation of | ||||||
4 | an Environmental Audit if such
persons are under the direct | ||||||
5 | supervision and control of the environmental
professional.
| ||||||
6 | (iv) For purposes of this subparagraph (E), the term "real | ||||||
7 | property"
means any interest in any parcel of land, and | ||||||
8 | includes, but is not limited to,
buildings, fixtures, and
| ||||||
9 | improvements.
| ||||||
10 | (v) For purposes of this subparagraph (E), the term "Phase | ||||||
11 | I Environmental
Audit" means an investigation of real property, | ||||||
12 | conducted by environmental
professionals, to discover the | ||||||
13 | presence or likely presence of a release or a
substantial | ||||||
14 | threat of a release of a hazardous substance or pesticide at, | ||||||
15 | on,
to, or from real property, and whether a release or a | ||||||
16 | substantial threat of
a release of a hazardous substance or | ||||||
17 | pesticide has occurred or may occur at,
on, to, or from the | ||||||
18 | real property. Until such time as the United
States | ||||||
19 | Environmental Protection Agency establishes
standards for | ||||||
20 | making appropriate inquiry into the previous
ownership and uses | ||||||
21 | of the facility pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
Sec. 9601(35)(B)(ii), the | ||||||
22 | investigation shall comply with the
procedures of the American | ||||||
23 | Society for Testing and
Materials, including the document known | ||||||
24 | as Standard
E1527-97, entitled "Standard Procedures for | ||||||
25 | Environmental
Site Assessment: Phase 1 Environmental Site | ||||||
26 | Assessment
Process". Upon their adoption, the standards |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | promulgated
by USEPA pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9601(35)(B)(ii) | ||||||
2 | shall
govern the performance of Phase I Environmental Audits. | ||||||
3 | In
addition to the above requirements, the Phase I
| ||||||
4 | Environmental Audit shall include a review of recorded land
| ||||||
5 | title records for the purpose of determining whether the real
| ||||||
6 | property is subject to an environmental land use restriction
| ||||||
7 | such as a No Further Remediation Letter, Environmental
Land Use | ||||||
8 | Control, or Highway Authority Agreement.
| ||||||
9 | (vi) For purposes of subparagraph (E), the term "Phase II | ||||||
10 | Environmental
Audit" means an investigation of real property, | ||||||
11 | conducted by environmental
professionals, subsequent to a | ||||||

Environmental Audit | ||||||
13 | discloses the presence or likely presence of a hazardous
| ||||||
14 | substance or a pesticide or a release or a substantial threat | ||||||
15 | of a release of
a hazardous substance or pesticide:
| ||||||
16 | (I) In or to soil, the defendant, as part of the Phase | ||||||
17 | II Environmental
Audit, shall perform a series of soil | ||||||
18 | borings sufficient to determine whether
there is a presence | ||||||
19 | or likely presence of a hazardous substance or pesticide
| ||||||
20 | and whether there is or has been a release or a substantial | ||||||
21 | threat of a release
of a hazardous substance or pesticide | ||||||
22 | at, on, to, or from the real property.
| ||||||
23 | (II) In or to groundwater, the defendant, as part of | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | from
State, federal, and local government records, | ||||||
2 | including but not limited to the
United States Geological | ||||||
3 | Survey, the State Geological Survey of the University of | ||||||
4 | Illinois, and the State Water
Survey of the University of | ||||||
5 | Illinois; and
perform groundwater monitoring sufficient to | ||||||
6 | determine whether there is a
presence or likely presence of | ||||||
7 | a hazardous substance or pesticide, and whether
there is or | ||||||
8 | has been a release or a substantial threat of a release of | ||||||
9 | a
hazardous substance or pesticide at, on, to, or from the | ||||||
10 | real property.
| ||||||
11 | (III) On or to media other than soil or groundwater, | ||||||
12 | the defendant, as
part of the Phase II Environmental Audit, | ||||||
13 | shall perform an investigation
sufficient to determine | ||||||
14 | whether there is a presence or likely presence of a
| ||||||
15 | hazardous substance or pesticide, and whether there is or | ||||||
16 | has been a release or
a substantial threat of a release of | ||||||
17 | a hazardous substance or pesticide at, on,
to, or from the | ||||||
18 | real property.
| ||||||
19 | (vii) The findings of each Environmental Audit prepared | ||||||
20 | under this
subparagraph (E) shall be set forth in a written | ||||||
21 | audit report. Each audit
report shall contain an affirmation by | ||||||
22 | the defendant and by each environmental
professional who | ||||||
23 | prepared the Environmental Audit that the facts stated in the
| ||||||
24 | report are true and are made under a penalty of perjury as | ||||||
25 | defined in Section
32-2 of the Criminal Code of 2012. It is | ||||||
26 | perjury for any person to sign an
audit report that contains a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | false material statement that the person does not
believe to be | ||||||
2 | true.
| ||||||
3 | (viii) The Agency is not required to review, approve, or | ||||||
4 | certify the results
of any Environmental Audit. The performance | ||||||
5 | of an Environmental Audit shall in
no way entitle a defendant | ||||||
6 | to a presumption of Agency approval or certification
of the | ||||||
7 | results of the Environmental Audit.
| ||||||
8 | The presence or absence of a disclosure document prepared | ||||||
9 | under the
Responsible Property Transfer Act of 1988 shall not | ||||||
10 | be a defense under this
Act and shall not satisfy the | ||||||
11 | requirements of subdivision (6)(A) of this
subsection (j).
| ||||||
12 | (7) No person shall be liable under this Section for | ||||||
13 | response costs
or damages as the result of a pesticide release | ||||||
14 | if the Agency has found
that a pesticide release occurred based | ||||||
15 | on a Health Advisory issued by the
U.S. Environmental | ||||||
16 | Protection Agency or an action level developed by the
Agency, | ||||||
17 | unless the Agency notified the manufacturer of the pesticide | ||||||
18 | and
provided an opportunity of not less than 30 days for the | ||||||
19 | manufacturer to
comment on the technical and scientific | ||||||
20 | justification supporting the Health
Advisory or action level.
| ||||||
21 | (8) No person shall be liable under this Section for | ||||||
22 | response costs or
damages as the result of a pesticide release | ||||||
23 | that occurs in the course of a
farm pesticide collection | ||||||
24 | program operated under Section 19.1 of the
Illinois Pesticide | ||||||
25 | Act, unless the release results from gross negligence or
| ||||||
26 | intentional misconduct.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (k) If any person who is liable for a release or | ||||||
2 | substantial threat of
release of a hazardous substance or | ||||||
3 | pesticide fails without sufficient
cause to provide removal or | ||||||
4 | remedial action upon or in accordance with a
notice and request | ||||||
5 | by the Agency or upon or in accordance with any order of
the | ||||||
6 | Board or any court, such person may be liable to the State for | ||||||
7 | punitive
damages in an amount at least equal to, and not more | ||||||
8 | than 3 times, the
amount of any costs incurred by the State of | ||||||
9 | Illinois as a result of such
failure to take such removal or | ||||||
10 | remedial action. The punitive damages
imposed by the Board | ||||||
11 | shall be in addition to any costs recovered from such
person | ||||||
12 | pursuant to this Section and in addition to any other penalty | ||||||
13 | or
relief provided by this Act or any other law.
| ||||||
14 | Any monies received by the State pursuant to this | ||||||
15 | subsection (k) shall
be deposited in the Hazardous Waste Fund.
| ||||||
16 | (l) Beginning January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, | ||||||
17 | 2013, the Agency shall annually collect a $250
fee for each | ||||||
18 | Special Waste Hauling Permit Application and, in addition,
| ||||||
19 | shall collect a fee of $20 for each waste hauling vehicle | ||||||
20 | identified in the
annual permit application and for each | ||||||
21 | vehicle which is added to the permit
during the annual period. | ||||||
22 | Beginning January 1, 2013, the Agency shall issue 3-year | ||||||
23 | Special Waste Hauling Permits instead of annual Special Waste | ||||||
24 | Hauling Permits and shall collect a $750 fee for each Special | ||||||
25 | Waste Hauling Permit Application. In addition, beginning | ||||||
26 | January 1, 2013, the Agency shall collect a fee of $60 for each |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | waste hauling vehicle identified in the permit application and | ||||||
2 | for each vehicle that is added to the permit during the 3-year | ||||||
3 | period. The Agency shall deposit 85% of such fees
collected | ||||||
4 | under this subsection in the State Treasury to the credit of
| ||||||
5 | the Hazardous Waste Research Fund; and shall deposit the | ||||||
6 | remaining 15% of
such fees collected in the State Treasury to | ||||||
7 | the credit of the
Environmental Protection Permit and | ||||||
8 | Inspection Fund. The majority of such
receipts which are | ||||||
9 | deposited in the Hazardous Waste Research Fund pursuant
to this | ||||||
10 | subsection shall be used by the University of Illinois for
| ||||||
11 | activities which relate to the protection of underground | ||||||
12 | waters.

14 | jurisdiction. If an order of protection is issued against a | ||||||
15 | licensee, the licensee shall surrender the license, as | ||||||
16 | applicable, to the court at the time the order is entered or to | ||||||
17 | the law enforcement agency or entity serving process at the | ||||||

19 | enforcement agency, or entity responsible for serving the order | ||||||
20 | of protection shall notify the Department within 7 days and | ||||||
21 | transmit the license to the Department. | ||||||
22 | (c) A license is invalid upon expiration of the license, | ||||||
23 | unless the licensee has submitted an application to renew the | ||||||
24 | license, and the applicant is otherwise eligible to possess a | ||||||
25 | license under this Act. | ||||||
26 | (d) A licensee shall not carry a concealed firearm while |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, | ||||||
2 | intoxicating compound or combination of compounds, or any | ||||||
3 | combination thereof, under the standards set forth in | ||||||
4 | subsection (a) of Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. | ||||||
5 | A licensee in violation of this subsection (d) shall be | ||||||
6 | guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for a first or second violation | ||||||
7 | and a Class 4 felony for a third violation. The Department may | ||||||
8 | suspend a license for up to 6 months for a second violation and | ||||||

19 | (f) A licensee convicted or found guilty of a violation of | ||||||
20 | this Act who has a valid license and is otherwise eligible to | ||||||
21 | carry a concealed firearm shall only be subject to the | ||||||
22 | penalties under this Section and shall not be subject to the | ||||||
23 | penalties under Section 21-6, paragraph (4), (8), or (10) of | ||||||
24 | subsection (a) of Section 24-1, or subparagraph (A-5) or (B-5) | ||||||
25 | of paragraph (3) of subsection (a) of Section 24-1.6 of the | ||||||
26 | Criminal Code of 2012. Except as otherwise provided in this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection, nothing in this subsection prohibits the licensee | ||||||
2 | from being subjected to penalties for violations other than | ||||||
3 | those specified in this Act. | ||||||
4 | (g) A licensee whose license is revoked, suspended, or | ||||||
5 | denied shall, within 48 hours of receiving notice of the | ||||||
6 | revocation, suspension, or denial , surrender his or her | ||||||
7 | concealed carry license to the local law enforcement agency | ||||||
8 | where the person resides. The local law enforcement agency | ||||||
9 | shall provide the licensee a receipt and transmit the concealed | ||||||

15 | search for and seize the concealed carry license in the | ||||||
16 | possession and under the custody or control of the licensee | ||||||
17 | whose concealed carry license has been revoked, suspended, or | ||||||
18 | denied. The observation of a concealed carry license in the | ||||||
19 | possession of a person whose license has been revoked, | ||||||
20 | suspended, or denied constitutes a sufficient basis for the | ||||||
21 | arrest of that person for violation of this subsection. A | ||||||
22 | violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. | ||||||
23 | (h) A license issued or renewed under this Act shall be | ||||||
24 | revoked if, at any time, the licensee is found ineligible for a | ||||||
25 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or the licensee no longer | ||||||
26 | possesses a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. A |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | licensee whose license is revoked under this subsection (h) | ||||||
2 | shall surrender his or her concealed carry license as provided | ||||||
3 | for in subsection (g) of this Section. | ||||||
4 | This subsection shall not apply to a person who has filed | ||||||
5 | an application with the State Police for renewal of a Firearm
| ||||||
6 | Owner's Identification Card and who is not otherwise ineligible | ||||||
7 | to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card.

5 | A minor who provides proof acceptable to the Secretary | ||||||
6 | that the minor has resumed regular school attendance or | ||||||
7 | home instruction or that his or her license or permit was | ||||||
8 | cancelled in error shall have his or her license | ||||||
9 | reinstated. The Secretary shall adopt rules for | ||||||
10 | implementing this subdivision (a)4 ; .
| ||||||
11 | 5. Upon determination by the Secretary that at the time | ||||||
12 | of license issuance, the minor held an instruction permit | ||||||
13 | and had a traffic citation for which a disposition had not | ||||||
14 | been rendered. | ||||||
15 | After cancellation, the Secretary of State shall not issue | ||||||
16 | a new
license or permit until the applicant meets the | ||||||
17 | provisions of Section
6-107 of this Code.
| ||||||
18 | (b) The Secretary of State shall cancel the license or | ||||||
19 | permit of any
person under the age of 18 years if he or she is | ||||||
20 | convicted of violating
the Cannabis Control Act, the Illinois
| ||||||
21 | Controlled Substances Act, or the Methamphetamine Control and | ||||||
22 | Community Protection Act while that person was in actual | ||||||
23 | physical
control of a motor vehicle.
For purposes of this | ||||||
24 | Section, any person placed on probation under Section
10 of the | ||||||
25 | Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 of the Illinois Controlled
| ||||||
26 | Substances Act, or Section 70 of the Methamphetamine Control |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and Community Protection Act shall not be considered convicted.
| ||||||
2 | Any person found guilty of this offense,
while in actual | ||||||
3 | physical control of a motor vehicle, shall have an entry
made | ||||||
4 | in the court record by the judge that this offense did occur
| ||||||
5 | while the person was in actual physical control of a motor | ||||||
6 | vehicle and
order the clerk of the court to report the | ||||||

shall not issue a new | ||||||
9 | license or permit for a period of one year after the
date of | ||||||
10 | cancellation or until the minor attains the age of 18 years,
| ||||||
11 | whichever is longer.
However, upon application, the Secretary | ||||||
12 | of State
may, if satisfied that the person applying will not | ||||||
13 | endanger the public
safety, or welfare, issue a restricted | ||||||
14 | driving permit granting the
privilege of driving a motor | ||||||
15 | vehicle between the person's residence and
person's place of | ||||||
16 | employment or within the scope of the person's employment | ||||||
17 | related
duties, or to allow transportation for
the person or a | ||||||
18 | household member of the person's family for the receipt of
| ||||||
19 | necessary medical care or, if the professional evaluation | ||||||
20 | indicates,
provide transportation for the petitioner for | ||||||
21 | alcohol remedial or
rehabilitative activity, or for the person | ||||||
22 | to attend classes, as a student,
in an accredited educational | ||||||
23 | institution; if the person is able to
demonstrate that no | ||||||
24 | alternative means of transportation is reasonably
available; | ||||||
25 | provided that the Secretary's discretion shall be limited to
| ||||||
26 | cases where undue hardship would result from a failure to issue |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | such
restricted driving permit. In each case the Secretary of | ||||||
2 | State may issue
a restricted driving permit for a period as he
| ||||||
3 | deems appropriate,
except that the permit shall expire within | ||||||
4 | one year from the date of
issuance. A restricted driving permit | ||||||
5 | issued hereunder shall be subject to
cancellation, revocation, | ||||||
6 | and suspension by the Secretary of State in like
manner and for | ||||||
7 | like cause as a driver's license issued hereunder may be
| ||||||
8 | cancelled, revoked, or suspended; except that a conviction upon | ||||||
9 | one or more
offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the | ||||||
10 | movement of traffic
shall be deemed sufficient cause for the | ||||||
11 | revocation, suspension, or
cancellation of a restricted | ||||||
12 | driving permit. The Secretary of State may,
as a condition to | ||||||
13 | the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the
| ||||||
14 | applicant to participate in a driver remedial or rehabilitative
| ||||||
15 | program.
Thereafter, upon reapplication for a license as
| ||||||
16 | provided in Section 6-106 of this Code or a permit as provided | ||||||
17 | in Section
6-105 of this Code and upon payment of the | ||||||
18 | appropriate application fee, the
Secretary of State shall issue | ||||||
19 | the applicant a license as provided in Section
6-106 of this | ||||||
20 | Code or shall issue the applicant a permit as provided in | ||||||

18 | Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, or | ||||||
19 | the Use of Intoxicating Compounds
Act while that individual | ||||||
20 | was in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle. For | ||||||
21 | purposes of this Section, any person placed on
probation | ||||||
22 | under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 | ||||||
23 | of the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or Section 70 of | ||||||
24 | the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act | ||||||
25 | shall not be considered convicted. Any
person found guilty | ||||||
26 | of this offense, while in actual physical control of a
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | motor vehicle, shall have an entry made in the court record | ||||||
2 | by the
judge that this offense did occur while the person | ||||||
3 | was in actual
physical control of a motor vehicle and order | ||||||
4 | the clerk of the court to report
the violation to the | ||||||
5 | Secretary of State as such. After the cancellation, the
| ||||||

| ||||||
10 | public safety, or welfare, issue a restricted driving | ||||||
11 | permit granting the
privilege of driving a motor vehicle | ||||||
12 | between the petitioner's residence and
petitioner's place | ||||||
13 | of employment or within the scope of the petitioner's | ||||||

rehabilitative activity | ||||||

in an | ||||||
21 | accredited educational institution. The petitioner must
| ||||||
22 | demonstrate that no alternative means of transportation is | ||||||
23 | reasonably
available; provided that the Secretary's | ||||||
24 | discretion shall be limited to
cases where undue hardship, | ||||||
25 | as defined by the rules of the Secretary of State, would | ||||||
26 | result from a failure to issue such
restricted driving |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | permit. In each case the Secretary of State may issue
such | ||||||
2 | restricted driving permit for such period as he deems | ||||||
3 | appropriate,

9 | under Section 10 of the Cannabis Control Act, Section 410 | ||||||
10 | of the
Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or Section 70 of | ||||||

available; provided that the Secretary's | ||||||

14 | For purposes of paragraphs 5, 9, 10, 12, 14, 19, 25, 26, | ||||||
15 | and 27 of this
subsection, license means any driver's license, | ||||||

notice issued by the | ||||||
18 | Secretary of State, a duplicate or corrected driver's
license, | ||||||
19 | a probationary driver's license or a temporary driver's | ||||||

21 | (b) If any conviction forming the basis of a suspension or
| ||||||
22 | revocation authorized under this Section is appealed, the
| ||||||
23 | Secretary of State may rescind or withhold the entry of the | ||||||
24 | order of suspension
or revocation, as the case may be, provided | ||||||
25 | that a certified copy of a stay

| |||||||
1 | appeal, the date of the conviction shall relate back to the | ||||||

| ||||||
4 | (c) 1. Upon suspending or revoking the driver's license or | ||||||

The notice to be | ||||||
8 | deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
to the | ||||||
9 | last known address of the person.
| ||||||
10 | 2. If the Secretary of State suspends the driver's | ||||||
11 | license
of a person under subsection 2 of paragraph (a) of | ||||||
12 | this Section, a
person's privilege to operate a vehicle as | ||||||
13 | an occupation shall not be
suspended, provided an affidavit | ||||||
14 | is properly completed, the appropriate fee
received, and a | ||||||
15 | permit issued prior to the effective date of the
| ||||||
16 | suspension, unless 5 offenses were committed, at least 2 of | ||||||
17 | which occurred
while operating a commercial vehicle in | ||||||
18 | connection with the driver's
regular occupation. All other | ||||||
19 | driving privileges shall be suspended by the
Secretary of | ||||||
20 | State. Any driver prior to operating a vehicle for
| ||||||
21 | occupational purposes only must submit the affidavit on | ||||||
22 | forms to be
provided by the Secretary of State setting | ||||||
23 | forth the facts of the person's
occupation. The affidavit | ||||||
24 | shall also state the number of offenses
committed while | ||||||
25 | operating a vehicle in connection with the driver's regular
| ||||||
26 | occupation. The affidavit shall be accompanied by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | driver's license.
Upon receipt of a properly completed | ||||||
2 | affidavit, the Secretary of State
shall issue the driver a | ||||||
3 | permit to operate a vehicle in connection with the
driver's | ||||||
4 | regular occupation only. Unless the permit is issued by the
| ||||||
5 | Secretary of State prior to the date of suspension, the | ||||||
6 | privilege to drive
any motor vehicle shall be suspended as | ||||||
7 | set forth in the notice that was
mailed under this Section. | ||||||
8 | If an affidavit is received subsequent to the
effective | ||||||
9 | date of this suspension, a permit may be issued for the | ||||||
10 | remainder
of the suspension period.
| ||||||
11 | The provisions of this subparagraph shall not apply to | ||||||
12 | any driver
required to possess a CDL for the purpose of | ||||||
13 | operating a commercial motor vehicle.
| ||||||
14 | Any person who falsely states any fact in the affidavit | ||||||
15 | required
herein shall be guilty of perjury under Section | ||||||
16 | 6-302 and upon conviction
thereof shall have all driving | ||||||
17 | privileges revoked without further rights.
| ||||||
18 | 3. At the conclusion of a hearing under Section 2-118 | ||||||
19 | of this Code,
the Secretary of State shall either rescind | ||||||
20 | or continue an order of
revocation or shall substitute an | ||||||
21 | order of suspension; or, good
cause appearing therefor, | ||||||
22 | rescind, continue, change, or extend the
order of | ||||||
23 | suspension. If the Secretary of State does not rescind the | ||||||
24 | order,
the Secretary may upon application,
to relieve undue | ||||||
25 | hardship (as defined by the rules of the Secretary of | ||||||
26 | State), issue
a restricted driving permit granting the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | privilege of driving a motor
vehicle between the | ||||||
2 | petitioner's residence and petitioner's place of
| ||||||
3 | employment or within the scope of the petitioner's | ||||||
4 | employment related duties, or to
allow the petitioner to | ||||||
5 | transport himself or herself, or a family member of the
| ||||||
6 | petitioner's household to a medical facility, to receive | ||||||
7 | necessary medical care, to allow the petitioner to | ||||||
8 | transport himself or herself to and from alcohol or drug
| ||||||
9 | remedial or rehabilitative activity recommended by a | ||||||
10 | licensed service provider, or to allow the petitioner to | ||||||
11 | transport himself or herself or a family member of the | ||||||
12 | petitioner's household to classes, as a student, at an | ||||||
13 | accredited educational institution, or to allow the | ||||||
14 | petitioner to transport children, elderly persons, or | ||||||
15 | disabled persons who do not hold driving privileges and are | ||||||
16 | living in the petitioner's household to and from daycare. | ||||||
17 | The
petitioner must demonstrate that no alternative means | ||||||
18 | of
transportation is reasonably available and that the | ||||||
19 | petitioner will not endanger
the public safety or welfare. | ||||||
20 | Those multiple offenders identified in subdivision (b)4 of | ||||||
21 | Section 6-208 of this Code, however, shall not be eligible | ||||||
22 | for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
| ||||||
23 |
(A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or | ||||||
24 | suspended due to 2
or more convictions of violating | ||||||
25 | Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
provision of a | ||||||
26 | local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
2 | Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or | ||||||
3 | other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or | ||||||
4 | a similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of | ||||||
5 | these offenses, arising out
of separate occurrences, | ||||||
6 | that person, if issued a restricted driving permit,
may | ||||||
7 | not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with | ||||||
8 | an ignition
interlock device as defined in Section | ||||||
9 | 1-129.1.
| ||||||
10 | (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or | ||||||
11 | suspended 2 or more
times within a 10 year period due | ||||||
12 | to any combination of: | ||||||
13 | (i) a single conviction of violating Section
| ||||||
14 | 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a | ||||||
15 | local ordinance or a similar
out-of-state offense | ||||||
16 | or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
17 | Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or | ||||||
18 | other drugs is recited as an element of the | ||||||
19 | offense, or a similar out-of-state offense; or | ||||||
20 | (ii) a statutory summary suspension or | ||||||
21 | revocation under Section
11-501.1; or | ||||||
22 | (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1; | ||||||
23 | arising out of
separate occurrences; that person, if | ||||||
24 | issued a restricted driving permit, may
not operate a | ||||||
25 | vehicle unless it has been
equipped with an ignition | ||||||
26 | interlock device as defined in Section 1-129.1. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (C)
The person issued a permit conditioned upon the | ||||||
2 | use of an ignition interlock device must pay to the | ||||||
3 | Secretary of State DUI Administration Fund an amount
| ||||||
4 | not to exceed $30 per month. The Secretary shall | ||||||
5 | establish by rule the amount
and the procedures, terms, | ||||||
6 | and conditions relating to these fees. | ||||||
7 | (D) If the
restricted driving permit is issued for | ||||||
8 | employment purposes, then the prohibition against | ||||||
9 | operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an | ||||||
10 | ignition interlock device does not apply to the | ||||||
11 | operation of an occupational vehicle owned or
leased by | ||||||
12 | that person's employer when used solely for employment | ||||||
13 | purposes. | ||||||
14 | (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
| ||||||
15 | restricted driving permit for a period deemed | ||||||
16 | appropriate, except that all
permits shall expire | ||||||
17 | within one year from the date of issuance. The | ||||||
18 | Secretary
may not, however, issue a restricted driving | ||||||
19 | permit to any person whose current
revocation is the | ||||||
20 | result of a second or subsequent conviction for a | ||||||
21 | violation
of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar | ||||||
22 | provision of a local ordinance
or any similar | ||||||
23 | out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal | ||||||
24 | Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, where the | ||||||
25 | use of alcohol or other drugs is recited as an element | ||||||
26 | of the offense, or any similar out-of-state offense, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any combination
of those offenses, until the | ||||||
2 | expiration of at least one year from the date of
the | ||||||
3 | revocation. A
restricted driving permit issued under | ||||||
4 | this Section shall be subject to
cancellation, | ||||||
5 | revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in | ||||||
6 | like
manner and for like cause as a driver's license | ||||||
7 | issued under this Code may be
cancelled, revoked, or | ||||||
8 | suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
| ||||||
9 | offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the | ||||||
10 | movement of traffic
shall be deemed sufficient cause | ||||||
11 | for the revocation, suspension, or
cancellation of a | ||||||
12 | restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, | ||||||
13 | as
a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving | ||||||
14 | permit, require the
applicant to participate in a | ||||||
15 | designated driver remedial or rehabilitative
program. | ||||||
16 | The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a | ||||||
17 | restricted
driving permit if the permit holder does not | ||||||
18 | successfully complete the program.
| ||||||
19 | (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of | ||||||
20 | subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State | ||||||
21 | under this Section shall, except during the actual time the | ||||||
22 | suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use | ||||||
23 | only by the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities, | ||||||
24 | the driver licensing administrator of any other state, the | ||||||
25 | Secretary of State, or the parent or legal guardian of a driver | ||||||
26 | under the age of 18. However, beginning January 1, 2008, if the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | person is a CDL holder, the suspension shall also be made | ||||||
2 | available to the driver licensing administrator of any other | ||||||
3 | state, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the affected | ||||||
4 | driver or motor
carrier or prospective motor carrier upon | ||||||
5 | request.
| ||||||
6 | (c-4) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of | ||||||
7 | subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall notify the person | ||||||
8 | by mail that his or her driving privileges and driver's license | ||||||
9 | will be suspended one month after the date of the mailing of | ||||||
10 | the notice.
| ||||||
11 | (c-5) The Secretary of State may, as a condition of the | ||||||
12 | reissuance of a
driver's license or permit to an applicant | ||||||
13 | whose driver's license or permit has
been suspended before he | ||||||
14 | or she reached the age of 21 years pursuant to any of
the | ||||||
15 | provisions of this Section, require the applicant to | ||||||
16 | participate in a
driver remedial education course and be | ||||||
17 | retested under Section 6-109 of this
Code.
| ||||||
18 | (d) This Section is subject to the provisions of the | ||||||
19 | Drivers License
Compact.
| ||||||
20 | (e) The Secretary of State shall not issue a restricted | ||||||
21 | driving permit to
a person under the age of 16 years whose | ||||||
22 | driving privileges have been suspended
or revoked under any | ||||||
23 | provisions of this Code.
| ||||||
24 | (f) In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of | ||||||
25 | State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the | ||||||
26 | operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | CDL whose driving privileges have been suspended, revoked, | ||||||
2 | cancelled, or disqualified under any provisions of this Code. | ||||||

21 | state, shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
| ||||||
22 | (a-3) A second or subsequent violation of subsection (a) of | ||||||
23 | this Section is a Class 4 felony if committed by a person whose | ||||||
24 | driving or operation of a motor vehicle is the proximate cause | ||||||
25 | of a motor vehicle accident that causes personal injury or |

2 | injury includes any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic | ||||||

| ||||||
19 | (a-10) A person's driver's license, permit, or privilege to | ||||||
20 | obtain a driver's license or permit may be subject to multiple | ||||||
21 | revocations, multiple suspensions, or any combination of both | ||||||

16 | limitations permitted
under this Chapter. During the | ||||||
17 | towing operation, neither the tow truck nor
the vehicle | ||||||
18 | combination shall exceed
24,000 pounds on a single
rear | ||||||
19 | axle and
44,000 pounds on a tandem rear axle, provided the | ||||||

21 | (i) is specifically designed as a tow truck having | ||||||
22 | a gross vehicle
weight
rating of at least 18,000 pounds | ||||||
23 | and is equipped with air brakes, provided that
air
| ||||||
24 | brakes are required only if the towing vehicle is | ||||||
25 | towing a vehicle,
semitrailer, or tractor-trailer | ||||||
26 | combination that is equipped with air brakes; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (ii) is equipped with flashing, rotating, or | ||||||
2 | oscillating amber lights,
visible for at least 500 feet | ||||||
3 | in all directions; | ||||||
4 | (iii) is capable of utilizing the lighting and | ||||||

disabled vehicle or combination | ||||||
6 | of vehicles; and | ||||||
7 | (iv) does not engage in a tow exceeding 20 miles | ||||||
8 | from the initial point of
wreck or disablement. Any | ||||||
9 | additional movement of the vehicles may occur only
upon | ||||||
10 | issuance of authorization for that movement under the | ||||||
11 | provisions of
Sections 15-301 through 15-319 of this | ||||||
12 | Code. The towing vehicle, however,
may tow any disabled | ||||||
13 | vehicle to a point where repairs are actually to
occur. | ||||||
14 | This movement shall be valid only on State routes.
The | ||||||
15 | tower must abide by posted bridge weight
limits. | ||||||
16 | Gross weight limits shall not apply to the combination of | ||||||
17 | the tow truck
and vehicles being towed. The tow truck license | ||||||
18 | plate must cover the
operating empty weight of the tow truck | ||||||
19 | only. The weight
of each vehicle being towed shall be covered | ||||||
20 | by a valid license plate issued to
the owner or operator of the | ||||||
21 | vehicle being towed and displayed on that vehicle.
If no valid | ||||||
22 | plate issued to the owner or operator of that vehicle is | ||||||
23 | displayed
on that vehicle, or the plate displayed on that | ||||||
24 | vehicle does not cover the
weight of the vehicle, the weight of | ||||||
25 | the vehicle shall be covered by
the third tow truck plate | ||||||
26 | issued to the owner or operator of the tow truck and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | temporarily affixed to the vehicle being towed. If a roll-back | ||||||
2 | carrier is registered and being used as a tow truck, however, | ||||||
3 | the license plate or plates for the tow truck must cover the | ||||||
4 | gross vehicle weight, including any load carried on the bed of | ||||||
5 | the roll-back carrier. | ||||||
6 | The Department may by rule or regulation prescribe | ||||||
7 | additional requirements.
However, nothing in this Code shall | ||||||
8 | prohibit a tow truck under
instructions of a police officer | ||||||
9 | from legally clearing a disabled vehicle,
that may be in | ||||||
10 | violation of weight limitations of this Chapter, from the
| ||||||
11 | roadway to the berm or shoulder of the highway.
If in the | ||||||
12 | opinion of the police officer that location is unsafe, the | ||||||
13 | officer
is authorized to have the disabled vehicle towed to the | ||||||
14 | nearest place of
safety. | ||||||
15 | For the purpose of this subsection, gross vehicle weight | ||||||
16 | rating, or
GVWR, means the value specified by the manufacturer | ||||||
17 | as the loaded
weight of the tow truck. | ||||||
18 | (b) As used in this Section, "recycling haul" or "recycling | ||||||
19 | operation" means the hauling of non-hazardous, non-special, | ||||||
20 | non-putrescible materials, such as paper, glass, cans, or | ||||||
21 | plastic, for subsequent use in the secondary materials market. | ||||||
22 | (c) No vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with | ||||||
23 | pneumatic tires
shall be operated, unladen or with load, upon | ||||||
24 | the highways of this State in
violation of the provisions of | ||||||
25 | any permit issued under the provisions of
Sections 15-301 | ||||||
26 | through 15-319 of this Chapter. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (d) No vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with | ||||||
2 | other than pneumatic
tires may be operated, unladen or with | ||||||
3 | load, upon the highways of this State
when the gross weight on | ||||||
4 | the road surface through any wheel exceeds 800
pounds per inch | ||||||
5 | width of tire tread or when the gross weight on the road
| ||||||
6 | surface through any axle exceeds 16,000 pounds.
| ||||||
7 | (e) No person shall operate a vehicle or combination of | ||||||
8 | vehicles over
a bridge or other elevated structure constituting | ||||||
9 | part of a highway with a
gross weight that is greater than the | ||||||
10 | maximum weight permitted by the
Department, when the structure | ||||||
11 | is sign posted as provided in this Section. | ||||||
12 | (f) The Department upon request from any local authority | ||||||
13 | shall, or upon
its own initiative may, conduct an investigation | ||||||
14 | of any bridge or other
elevated structure constituting a part | ||||||
15 | of a highway, and if it finds that
the structure cannot with | ||||||
16 | safety to itself withstand the weight of vehicles
otherwise | ||||||
17 | permissible under this Code the Department shall determine and
| ||||||
18 | declare the maximum weight of vehicles that the structures can | ||||||
19 | withstand,
and shall cause or permit suitable signs stating | ||||||
20 | maximum weight to be
erected and maintained before each end of | ||||||
21 | the structure. No person shall
operate a vehicle or combination | ||||||
22 | of vehicles over any structure with a
gross weight that is | ||||||
23 | greater than the posted maximum weight.
| ||||||
24 | (g) Upon the trial of any person charged with a violation | ||||||
25 | of subsection
(e) or (f) of this Section, proof of the | ||||||
26 | determination of the maximum
allowable weight by the Department |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and the existence of the signs,
constitutes conclusive evidence | ||||||
2 | of the maximum weight that can be
maintained with safety to the | ||||||
3 | bridge or structure.

13 | conducted in the presence of a law enforcement

information | ||||||
2 | pertaining to a person under 18 years of age if there are
| ||||||
3 | reasonable grounds to believe that the person poses a real and | ||||||
4 | present danger
to the safety of the public or law enforcement | ||||||
5 | officers. The information
provided under this subsection (F) | ||||||
6 | shall remain confidential and shall not
be publicly disclosed, | ||||||
7 | except as otherwise allowed by law.

9 | notice to the attorney or guardian ad litem of the minor | ||||||
10 | whose records are sought. | ||||||
11 | (0.2) In cases where the records concern a juvenile | ||||||
12 | court case that is no longer pending, the requesting party | ||||||
13 | seeking to inspect the juvenile court records shall provide | ||||||
14 | actual notice to the minor or the minor's parent or legal | ||||||
15 | guardian, and the matter shall be referred to the chief | ||||||
16 | judge presiding over matters pursuant to this Act. | ||||||
17 | (0.3) In determining whether records should be made | ||||||
18 | available for inspection and whether inspection should be | ||||||
19 | limited to certain parts of the file, the court shall | ||||||
20 | consider the minor's interest in confidentiality and | ||||||
21 | rehabilitation over the requesting party's interest in | ||||||
22 | obtaining the information. The State's Attorney, the | ||||||
23 | minor, and the minor's parents, guardian, and counsel shall | ||||||
24 | at all times have the right to examine court files and | ||||||
25 | records. | ||||||
26 | (0.4) Any records obtained in violation of this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection (C) shall not be admissible in any criminal or | ||||||
2 | civil proceeding, or operate to disqualify a minor from | ||||||
3 | subsequently holding public office, or operate as a | ||||||
4 | forfeiture of any public benefit, right, privilege, or | ||||||
5 | right to receive any license granted by public authority.
| ||||||
6 | (1) The
court shall allow the general public to have | ||||||
7 | access to the name, address, and offense of a minor
who is | ||||||
8 | adjudicated a delinquent minor under this Act under either | ||||||
9 | of the
following circumstances:
| ||||||

12 | to commit first degree

13 | sexual assault, or criminal sexual assault; or
| ||||||
14 | (B) The court has made a finding that the minor was | ||||||
15 | at least 13 years of
age
at the time the act was | ||||||
16 | committed and the adjudication of delinquency was | ||||||
17 | based

18 | furtherance of the commission of a felony as a member | ||||||
19 | of or on
behalf of a criminal street
gang, (ii) an act | ||||||
20 | involving the use of a firearm in the commission of a

| ||||||
9 | (2) The court
shall allow the general public to have | ||||||
10 | access to the name, address, and offense of a minor who is | ||||||
11 | at least 13 years of age at
the time the offense
is | ||||||
12 | committed and who is convicted, in criminal proceedings
| ||||||
13 | permitted or required under Section 5-4, under either of | ||||||
14 | the following
circumstances:
| ||||||

| ||||||
19 | (B) The court has made a finding that the minor was | ||||||
20 | at least 13 years

21 | committed and the conviction was based upon the
minor's | ||||||
22 | commission of: (i)
an offense in
furtherance of the | ||||||

8 | or (vii) an act that would be an offense under another | ||||||
9 | Section of the Methamphetamine Control and Community | ||||||
10 | Protection Act.
| ||||||
11 | (D) Pending or following any adjudication of delinquency | ||||||
12 | for
any offense defined
in Sections 11-1.20 through 11-1.60 or | ||||||
13 | 12-13 through 12-16 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
14 | Criminal Code of 2012,
the victim of any such offense shall | ||||||
15 | receive the
rights set out in Sections 4 and 6 of the Bill of
| ||||||
16 | Rights for Victims and Witnesses of Violent Crime Act; and the
| ||||||
17 | juvenile who is the subject of the adjudication, | ||||||
18 | notwithstanding any other
provision of this Act, shall be | ||||||
19 | treated
as an adult for the purpose of affording such rights to | ||||||
20 | the victim.
| ||||||
21 | (E) Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of a | ||||||
22 | Civil Service
Commission or appointing authority of any state, | ||||||
23 | county or municipality
examining the character and fitness of
| ||||||
24 | an applicant for employment with a law enforcement
agency, | ||||||
25 | correctional institution, or fire department to
ascertain
| ||||||
26 | whether that applicant was ever adjudicated to be a delinquent |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | minor and,
if so, to examine the records of disposition or | ||||||
2 | evidence which were made in
proceedings under this Act.
| ||||||
3 | (F) Following any adjudication of delinquency for a crime | ||||||
4 | which would be
a felony if committed by an adult, or following | ||||||
5 | any adjudication of delinquency
for a violation of Section | ||||||
6 | 24-1, 24-3, 24-3.1, or 24-5
of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
7 | Criminal Code of 2012, the State's Attorney shall ascertain
| ||||||
8 | whether the minor respondent is enrolled in school and, if so, | ||||||
9 | shall provide
a copy of the dispositional order to the | ||||||
10 | principal or chief administrative
officer of the school. Access | ||||||
11 | to such juvenile records shall be limited
to the principal or | ||||||
12 | chief administrative officer of the school and any guidance
| ||||||
13 | counselor designated by him.
| ||||||
14 | (G) Nothing contained in this Act prevents the sharing or
| ||||||
15 | disclosure of information or records relating or pertaining to | ||||||
16 | juveniles
subject to the provisions of the Serious Habitual | ||||||
17 | Offender Comprehensive
Action Program when that information is | ||||||
18 | used to assist in the early
identification and treatment of | ||||||
19 | habitual juvenile offenders.
| ||||||
20 | (H) When a Court hearing a proceeding under Article II of | ||||||
21 | this Act becomes
aware that an earlier proceeding under Article | ||||||
22 | II had been heard in a different
county, that Court shall | ||||||
23 | request, and the Court in which the earlier
proceedings were | ||||||
24 | initiated shall transmit, an authenticated copy of the Court
| ||||||
25 | record, including all documents, petitions, and orders filed | ||||||
26 | therein and the
minute orders, transcript of proceedings, and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | docket entries of the Court.
| ||||||
2 | (I) The Clerk of the Circuit Court shall report to the | ||||||
3 | Department of
State
Police, in the form and manner required by | ||||||
4 | the Department of State Police, the
final disposition of each | ||||||
5 | minor who has been arrested or taken into custody
before his or | ||||||
6 | her 18th birthday for those offenses required to be reported
| ||||||
7 | under Section 5 of the Criminal Identification Act. Information | ||||||
8 | reported to
the Department under this Section may be maintained | ||||||
9 | with records that the
Department files under Section 2.1 of the | ||||||
10 | Criminal Identification Act.
| ||||||
11 | (J) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61 | ||||||
12 | this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly apply to law | ||||||
13 | enforcement records of a minor who has been arrested or taken | ||||||
14 | into custody on or after January 1, 2014 ( the effective date of | ||||||
15 | Public Act 98-61) this amendatory Act . | ||||||
16 | (Source: P.A. 97-813, eff. 7-13-12; 97-1150, eff. 1-25-13; | ||||||

| ||||||
18 | (705 ILCS 405/2-10) (from Ch. 37, par. 802-10)
| ||||||
19 | Sec. 2-10. Temporary custody hearing. At the appearance of | ||||||
20 | the
minor before the court at the temporary custody hearing, | ||||||
21 | all
witnesses present shall be examined before the court in | ||||||
22 | relation to any
matter connected with the allegations made in | ||||||
23 | the petition.
| ||||||
24 | (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause to | ||||||
25 | believe
that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent it |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall release
the minor and dismiss the petition.
| ||||||
2 | (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to | ||||||
3 | believe that
the minor is abused, neglected or dependent, the | ||||||
4 | court shall state in writing
the factual basis supporting its | ||||||
5 | finding and the minor, his or her parent,
guardian, custodian | ||||||
6 | and other persons able to give relevant testimony
shall be | ||||||
7 | examined before the court. The Department of Children and
| ||||||
8 | Family Services shall give testimony concerning indicated | ||||||
9 | reports of abuse
and neglect, of which they are aware of | ||||||
10 | through the central registry,
involving the minor's parent, | ||||||
11 | guardian or custodian. After such
testimony, the court may, | ||||||
12 | consistent with
the health,
safety and best interests of the | ||||||
13 | minor,
enter an order that the minor shall be released
upon the | ||||||
14 | request of parent, guardian or custodian if the parent, | ||||||
15 | guardian
or custodian appears to take custody. If it is | ||||||
16 | determined that a parent's, guardian's, or custodian's | ||||||
17 | compliance with critical services mitigates the necessity for | ||||||
18 | removal of the minor from his or her home, the court may enter | ||||||
19 | an Order of Protection setting forth reasonable conditions of | ||||||
20 | behavior that a parent, guardian, or custodian must observe for | ||||||
21 | a specified period of time, not to exceed 12 months, without a | ||||||
22 | violation; provided, however, that the 12-month period shall | ||||||
23 | begin anew after any violation. Custodian shall include any | ||||||
24 | agency of
the State which has been given custody or wardship of | ||||||
25 | the child. If it is
consistent with the health, safety and best | ||||||
26 | interests of the
minor, the
court may also prescribe shelter |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | care and
order that the minor be kept in a suitable place | ||||||
2 | designated by the court or in
a shelter care facility | ||||||
3 | designated by the Department of Children and Family
Services or | ||||||
4 | a licensed child welfare
agency; however, a minor charged with | ||||||
5 | a
criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
6 | Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent
shall not be | ||||||
7 | placed in the custody of or committed to the Department of
| ||||||
8 | Children and Family Services by any court, except a minor less | ||||||
9 | than 15
years of age and committed to the Department of | ||||||
10 | Children and Family Services
under Section 5-710 of this Act or | ||||||
11 | a minor for whom an independent
basis of
abuse, neglect, or | ||||||
12 | dependency exists.
An independent basis exists when the | ||||||
13 | allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or dependency do | ||||||
14 | not arise from the same facts, incident, or circumstances which | ||||||
15 | give rise to a charge or adjudication of delinquency.
| ||||||
16 | In placing the minor, the Department or other
agency shall, | ||||||
17 | to the extent
compatible with the court's order, comply with | ||||||
18 | Section 7 of the Children and
Family Services Act.
In | ||||||
19 | determining
the health, safety and best interests of the minor | ||||||
20 | to prescribe shelter
care, the court must
find that it is a | ||||||
21 | matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the safety
and | ||||||
22 | protection
of the minor or of the person or property of another | ||||||
23 | that the minor be placed
in a shelter care facility or that he | ||||||
24 | or she is likely to flee the jurisdiction
of the court, and | ||||||
25 | must further find that reasonable efforts have been made or
| ||||||
26 | that, consistent with the health, safety and best interests of
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the minor, no efforts reasonably can be made to
prevent or | ||||||
2 | eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from his or her
| ||||||
3 | home. The court shall require documentation from the Department | ||||||
4 | of Children and
Family Services as to the reasonable efforts | ||||||
5 | that were made to prevent or
eliminate the necessity of removal | ||||||
6 | of the minor from his or her home or the
reasons why no efforts | ||||||
7 | reasonably could be made to prevent or eliminate the
necessity | ||||||
8 | of removal. When a minor is placed in the home of a relative, | ||||||
9 | the
Department of Children and Family Services shall complete a | ||||||
10 | preliminary
background review of the members of the minor's | ||||||
11 | custodian's household in
accordance with Section 4.3 of the | ||||||
12 | Child Care Act of 1969 within 90 days of
that placement. If the | ||||||
13 | minor is ordered placed in a shelter care facility of
the | ||||||
14 | Department of Children and
Family Services or a licensed child | ||||||
15 | welfare agency, the court shall, upon
request of the | ||||||
16 | appropriate Department or other agency, appoint the
Department | ||||||
17 | of Children and Family Services Guardianship Administrator or
| ||||||
18 | other appropriate agency executive temporary custodian of the | ||||||
19 | minor and the
court may enter such other orders related to the | ||||||
20 | temporary custody as it
deems fit and proper, including the | ||||||
21 | provision of services to the minor or
his family to ameliorate | ||||||
22 | the causes contributing to the finding of probable
cause or to | ||||||
23 | the finding of the existence of immediate and urgent necessity.
| ||||||
24 | Where the Department of Children and Family Services | ||||||
25 | Guardianship Administrator is appointed as the executive | ||||||
26 | temporary custodian, the Department of Children and Family |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Services shall file with the court and serve on the parties a | ||||||
2 | parent-child visiting plan, within 10 days, excluding weekends | ||||||
3 | and holidays, after the appointment. The parent-child visiting | ||||||
4 | plan shall set out the time and place of visits, the frequency | ||||||
5 | of visits, the length of visits, who shall be present at the | ||||||
6 | visits, and where appropriate, the minor's opportunities to | ||||||
7 | have telephone and mail communication with the parents. | ||||||
8 | Where the Department of Children and Family Services | ||||||
9 | Guardianship Administrator is
appointed as the executive | ||||||
10 | temporary custodian, and when the child has siblings in care,
| ||||||
11 | the Department of Children and Family Services shall file with | ||||||
12 | the court and serve on the
parties a sibling placement and | ||||||
13 | contact plan within 10 days, excluding weekends and
holidays, | ||||||
14 | after the appointment. The sibling placement and contact plan | ||||||
15 | shall set forth
whether the siblings are placed together, and | ||||||
16 | if they are not placed together, what, if any,
efforts are | ||||||
17 | being made to place them together. If the Department has | ||||||
18 | determined that it is
not in a child's best interest to be | ||||||
19 | placed with a sibling, the Department shall document in
the | ||||||
20 | sibling placement and contact plan the basis for its | ||||||
21 | determination. For siblings placed
separately, the sibling | ||||||
22 | placement and contact plan shall set the time and place for | ||||||
23 | visits,
the frequency of the visits, the length of visits, who | ||||||
24 | shall be present for the visits, and
where appropriate, the | ||||||
25 | child's opportunities to have contact with their siblings in | ||||||
26 | addition to
in person contact. If the Department determines it |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is not in the best interest of a sibling to
have contact with a | ||||||
2 | sibling, the Department shall document in the sibling placement | ||||||
3 | and
contact plan the basis for its determination. The sibling | ||||||
4 | placement and contact plan shall
specify a date for development | ||||||
5 | of the Sibling Contact Support Plan, under subsection (f) of | ||||||
6 | Section 7.4 of the Children and Family Services Act, and shall | ||||||
7 | remain in effect until the Sibling Contact Support Plan is | ||||||
8 | developed. | ||||||
9 | For good cause, the court may waive the requirement to | ||||||
10 | file the parent-child visiting plan or the sibling placement | ||||||
11 | and contact plan, or extend the time for filing either plan. | ||||||
12 | Any party may, by motion, request the court to review the | ||||||
13 | parent-child visiting plan to determine whether it is | ||||||
14 | reasonably calculated to expeditiously facilitate the | ||||||
15 | achievement of the permanency goal. A party may, by motion, | ||||||
16 | request the court to review the parent-child visiting plan or | ||||||
17 | the sibling placement and contact plan to determine whether it | ||||||
18 | is consistent with the minor's best interest. The court may | ||||||
19 | refer the parties to mediation where available. The frequency, | ||||||
20 | duration, and locations of visitation shall be measured by the | ||||||
21 | needs of the child and family, and not by the convenience of | ||||||
22 | Department personnel. Child development principles shall be | ||||||
23 | considered by the court in its analysis of how frequent | ||||||
24 | visitation should be, how long it should last, where it should | ||||||
25 | take place, and who should be present. If upon motion of the | ||||||
26 | party to review either plan and after receiving evidence, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | court determines that the parent-child visiting plan is not | ||||||
2 | reasonably calculated to expeditiously facilitate the | ||||||
3 | achievement of the permanency goal or that the restrictions | ||||||
4 | placed on parent-child contact or sibling placement or contact | ||||||
5 | are contrary to the child's best interests, the court shall put | ||||||
6 | in writing the factual basis supporting the determination and | ||||||
7 | enter specific findings based on the evidence. The court shall | ||||||
8 | enter an order for the Department to implement changes to the | ||||||
9 | parent-child visiting plan or sibling placement or contact | ||||||
10 | plan, consistent with the court's findings. At any stage of | ||||||
11 | proceeding, any party may by motion request the court to enter | ||||||
12 | any orders necessary to implement the parent-child visiting | ||||||
13 | plan, sibling placement or contact plan or subsequently | ||||||
14 | developed Sibling Contact Support Plan. Nothing under this | ||||||
15 | subsection (2) shall restrict the court from granting | ||||||
16 | discretionary authority to the Department to increase | ||||||
17 | opportunities for additional parent-child contacts or sibling | ||||||
18 | contacts, without further court orders. Nothing in this | ||||||
19 | subsection (2) shall restrict the Department from immediately | ||||||
20 | restricting or terminating parent-child contact or sibling | ||||||
21 | contacts, without either amending the parent-child visiting | ||||||
22 | plan or the sibling contact plan or obtaining a court order, | ||||||
23 | where the Department or its assigns reasonably believe that | ||||||
24 | continuation of the contact, as set out in the plan, would be | ||||||
25 | contrary to the child's health, safety, and welfare. The | ||||||
26 | Department shall file with the court and serve on the parties |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any amendments to the plan within 10 days, excluding weekends | ||||||
2 | and holidays, of the change of the visitation.
| ||||||
3 | Acceptance of services shall not be considered an admission | ||||||
4 | of any
allegation in a petition made pursuant to this Act, nor | ||||||
5 | may a referral of
services be considered as evidence in any | ||||||
6 | proceeding pursuant to this Act,
except where the issue is | ||||||
7 | whether the Department has made reasonable
efforts to reunite | ||||||
8 | the family. In making its findings that it is
consistent with | ||||||
9 | the health, safety and best
interests of the minor to prescribe | ||||||
10 | shelter care, the court shall state in
writing (i) the factual | ||||||
11 | basis supporting its findings concerning the
immediate and | ||||||
12 | urgent necessity for the protection of the minor or of the | ||||||
13 | person
or property of another and (ii) the factual basis | ||||||
14 | supporting its findings that
reasonable efforts were made to | ||||||
15 | prevent or eliminate the removal of the minor
from his or her | ||||||
16 | home or that no efforts reasonably could be made to prevent or
| ||||||
17 | eliminate the removal of the minor from his or her home. The
| ||||||
18 | parents, guardian, custodian, temporary custodian and minor | ||||||
19 | shall each be
furnished a copy of such written findings. The | ||||||
20 | temporary custodian shall
maintain a copy of the court order | ||||||
21 | and written findings in the case record
for the child. The | ||||||
22 | order together with the court's findings of fact in
support | ||||||
23 | thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
| ||||||
24 | Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and | ||||||
25 | urgent necessity
for the protection of the minor that the minor | ||||||
26 | be placed in a shelter care
facility, the minor shall not be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | returned to the parent, custodian or guardian
until the court | ||||||
2 | finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
| ||||||
3 | protection of the minor.
| ||||||
4 | If the child is placed in the temporary custody of the | ||||||
5 | Department of
Children
and Family
Services for his or her | ||||||
6 | protection, the court shall admonish the parents,
guardian,
| ||||||
7 | custodian or responsible relative that the parents must | ||||||
8 | cooperate with the
Department of Children and Family Services, | ||||||
9 | comply
with the terms of the service plans, and correct the | ||||||
10 | conditions which require
the child to be in care, or risk | ||||||
11 | termination of their parental
rights.
| ||||||
12 | (3) If prior to the shelter care hearing for a minor | ||||||
13 | described in Sections
2-3, 2-4, 3-3 and 4-3 the moving party is | ||||||
14 | unable to serve notice on the
party respondent, the shelter | ||||||
15 | care hearing may proceed ex-parte. A shelter
care order from an | ||||||
16 | ex-parte hearing shall be endorsed with the date and
hour of | ||||||
17 | issuance and shall be filed with the clerk's office and entered | ||||||
18 | of
record. The order shall expire after 10 days from the time | ||||||
19 | it is issued
unless before its expiration it is renewed, at a | ||||||
20 | hearing upon appearance
of the party respondent, or upon an | ||||||
21 | affidavit of the moving party as to all
diligent efforts to | ||||||
22 | notify the party respondent by notice as herein
prescribed. The | ||||||
23 | notice prescribed shall be in writing and shall be
personally | ||||||
24 | delivered to the minor or the minor's attorney and to the last
| ||||||
25 | known address of the other person or persons entitled to | ||||||
26 | notice. The
notice shall also state the nature of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | allegations, the nature of the
order sought by the State, | ||||||
2 | including whether temporary custody is sought,
and the | ||||||
3 | consequences of failure to appear and shall contain a notice
| ||||||
4 | that the parties will not be entitled to further written | ||||||
5 | notices or publication
notices of proceedings in this case, | ||||||
6 | including the filing of an amended
petition or a motion to | ||||||
7 | terminate parental rights, except as required by
Supreme Court | ||||||
8 | Rule 11; and shall explain the
right of
the parties and the | ||||||
9 | procedures to vacate or modify a shelter care order as
provided | ||||||
10 | in this Section. The notice for a shelter care hearing shall be
| ||||||
11 | substantially as follows:
| ||||||
12 | NOTICE TO PARENTS AND CHILDREN
| ||||||
13 | OF SHELTER CARE HEARING
| ||||||
14 | On ................ at ........., before the Honorable | ||||||
15 | ................,
(address:) ................., the State | ||||||
16 | of Illinois will present evidence
(1) that (name of child | ||||||
17 | or children) ....................... are abused,
neglected | ||||||
18 | or dependent for the following reasons:
| ||||||

| ||||||
21 | TO REHEARING ON TEMPORARY CUSTODY

22 | If you were not present at and did not have adequate | ||||||
23 | notice of the
Shelter Care Hearing at which temporary | ||||||
24 | custody of ............... was
awarded to | ||||||
25 | ................, you have the right to request a full |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | rehearing
on whether the State should have temporary | ||||||
2 | custody of ................. To
request this rehearing, | ||||||
3 | you must file with the Clerk of the Juvenile Court
| ||||||
4 | (address): ........................, in person or by | ||||||
5 | mailing a statement
(affidavit) setting forth the | ||||||
6 | following:
| ||||||
7 | 1. That you were not present at the shelter care | ||||||
8 | hearing.
| ||||||
9 | 2. That you did not get adequate notice (explaining | ||||||
10 | how the notice
was inadequate).
| ||||||
11 | 3. Your signature.
| ||||||
12 | 4. Signature must be notarized.
| ||||||
13 | The rehearing should be scheduled within 48 hours of | ||||||
14 | your filing this
affidavit.
| ||||||
15 | At the rehearing, your rights are the same as at the | ||||||
16 | initial shelter care
hearing. The enclosed notice explains | ||||||
17 | those rights.
| ||||||
18 | At the Shelter Care Hearing, children have the | ||||||
19 | following rights:
| ||||||
20 | 1. To have a guardian ad litem appointed.
| ||||||
21 | 2. To be declared competent as a witness and to | ||||||
22 | present testimony
concerning:
| ||||||
23 | a. Whether they are abused, neglected or | ||||||
24 | dependent.
| ||||||
25 | b. Whether there is "immediate and urgent | ||||||
26 | necessity" to be
removed from home.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | c. Their best interests.
| ||||||
2 | 3. To cross examine witnesses for other parties.
| ||||||
3 | 4. To obtain an explanation of any proceedings and | ||||||
4 | orders of the
court.
| ||||||
5 | (4) If the parent, guardian, legal custodian, responsible | ||||||
6 | relative,
minor age 8 or over, or counsel of the minor did not | ||||||
7 | have actual notice of
or was not present at the shelter care | ||||||
8 | hearing, he or she may file an
affidavit setting forth these | ||||||
9 | facts, and the clerk shall set the matter for
rehearing not | ||||||
10 | later than 48 hours, excluding Sundays and legal holidays,
| ||||||
11 | after the filing of the affidavit. At the rehearing, the court | ||||||
12 | shall
proceed in the same manner as upon the original hearing.
| ||||||
13 | (5) Only when there is reasonable cause to believe that the | ||||||
14 | minor
taken into custody is a person described in subsection | ||||||
15 | (3) of Section
5-105 may the minor be
kept or detained in a | ||||||
16 | detention home or county or municipal jail. This
Section shall | ||||||
17 | in no way be construed to limit subsection (6).
| ||||||
18 | (6) No minor under 16 years of age may be confined in a | ||||||
19 | jail or place
ordinarily used for the confinement of prisoners | ||||||
20 | in a police station. Minors
under 18 years of age must be kept | ||||||
21 | separate from confined adults and may
not at any time be kept | ||||||
22 | in the same cell, room, or yard with adults confined
pursuant | ||||||
23 | to the criminal law.
| ||||||
24 | (7) If the minor is not brought before a judicial officer | ||||||
25 | within the
time period as specified in Section 2-9, the minor | ||||||
26 | must immediately be
released from custody.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (8) If neither the parent, guardian or custodian appears | ||||||
2 | within 24
hours to take custody of a minor released upon | ||||||
3 | request pursuant to
subsection (2) of this Section, then the | ||||||
4 | clerk of the court shall set the
matter for rehearing not later | ||||||
5 | than 7 days after the original order and
shall issue a summons | ||||||
6 | directed to the parent, guardian or custodian to
appear. At the | ||||||
7 | same time the probation department shall prepare a report
on | ||||||
8 | the minor. If a parent, guardian or custodian does not appear | ||||||
9 | at such
rehearing, the judge may enter an order prescribing | ||||||
10 | that the minor be kept
in a suitable place designated by the | ||||||
11 | Department of Children and Family
Services or a licensed child | ||||||
12 | welfare agency.
| ||||||
13 | (9) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section any | ||||||
14 | interested party, including the State, the temporary
| ||||||
15 | custodian, an agency providing services to the minor or family | ||||||
16 | under a
service plan pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Abused and | ||||||
17 | Neglected Child
Reporting Act, foster parent, or any of their | ||||||
18 | representatives, on notice
to all parties entitled to notice, | ||||||
19 | may file a motion that it is in the best
interests of the minor | ||||||
20 | to modify or vacate a
temporary custody order on any of the | ||||||
21 | following grounds:
| ||||||
22 | (a) It is no longer a matter of immediate and urgent | ||||||
23 | necessity that the
minor remain in shelter care; or
| ||||||
24 | (b) There is a material change in the circumstances of | ||||||
25 | the natural
family from which the minor was removed and the | ||||||
26 | child can be cared for at
home without endangering the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | child's health or safety; or
| ||||||
2 | (c) A person not a party to the alleged abuse, neglect | ||||||
3 | or dependency,
including a parent, relative or legal | ||||||
4 | guardian, is capable of assuming
temporary custody of the | ||||||
5 | minor; or
| ||||||
6 | (d) Services provided by the Department of Children and | ||||||
7 | Family Services
or a child welfare agency or other service | ||||||
8 | provider have been successful in
eliminating the need for | ||||||
9 | temporary custody and the child can be cared for at
home | ||||||
10 | without endangering the child's health or safety.
| ||||||
11 | In ruling on the motion, the court shall determine whether | ||||||
12 | it is consistent
with the health, safety and best interests of | ||||||
13 | the minor to modify
or vacate a temporary custody order.
| ||||||
14 | The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than | ||||||
15 | 14 days after
such motion is filed. In the event that the court | ||||||
16 | modifies or vacates a
temporary custody order but does not | ||||||
17 | vacate its finding of probable cause,
the court may order that | ||||||
18 | appropriate services be continued or initiated in
behalf of the | ||||||
19 | minor and his or her family.
| ||||||
20 | (10) When the court finds or has found that there is | ||||||
21 | probable cause to
believe a minor is an abused minor as | ||||||
22 | described in subsection (2) of Section
2-3
and that there is an | ||||||
23 | immediate and urgent necessity for the abused minor to be
| ||||||
24 | placed in shelter care, immediate and urgent necessity shall be | ||||||
25 | presumed for
any other minor residing in the same household as | ||||||
26 | the abused minor provided:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) Such other minor is the subject of an abuse or | ||||||
2 | neglect petition
pending before the court; and
| ||||||
3 | (b) A party to the petition is seeking shelter care for | ||||||
4 | such other minor.
| ||||||
5 | Once the presumption of immediate and urgent necessity has | ||||||
6 | been raised, the
burden of demonstrating the lack of immediate | ||||||
7 | and urgent necessity shall be on
any party that is opposing | ||||||
8 | shelter care for the other minor.
| ||||||
9 | (11) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61 | ||||||
10 | this amendatory Act of
the 98th General Assembly apply to a | ||||||
11 | minor who has been
arrested or taken into custody on or after | ||||||
12 | January 1, 2014 ( the effective date
of Public Act 98-61) this | ||||||
13 | amendatory Act . | ||||||
14 | (Source: P.A. 97-1076, eff. 8-24-12; 97-1150, eff. 1-25-13; | ||||||
15 | 98-61, eff. 1-1-14; revised 11-22-13.)
| ||||||
16 | (705 ILCS 405/2-28) (from Ch. 37, par. 802-28)
| ||||||
17 | Sec. 2-28. Court review.
| ||||||
18 | (1) The court may require any legal custodian or guardian | ||||||
19 | of the person
appointed under this Act to report periodically | ||||||
20 | to the court or may cite
him into court and require him or his | ||||||
21 | agency, to make a full and
accurate report of his or its doings | ||||||
22 | in behalf of the minor. The
custodian or guardian, within 10 | ||||||
23 | days after such citation, shall make
the report, either in | ||||||
24 | writing verified by affidavit or orally under oath
in open | ||||||
25 | court, or otherwise as the court directs. Upon the hearing of
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the report the court may remove the custodian or guardian and | ||||||
2 | appoint
another in his stead or restore the minor to the | ||||||
3 | custody of his parents
or former guardian or custodian. | ||||||
4 | However, custody of the minor shall
not be restored to any | ||||||
5 | parent, guardian or legal custodian in any case
in which the | ||||||
6 | minor is found to be neglected or abused under Section 2-3 or
| ||||||
7 | dependent under Section 2-4 of this
Act, unless the minor can | ||||||
8 | be cared for at home without endangering the
minor's health or | ||||||
9 | safety and it is in the best interests of the minor, and
if | ||||||
10 | such neglect,
abuse, or dependency is found by the court under | ||||||
11 | paragraph (1)
of Section 2-21 of
this Act to have come about | ||||||
12 | due to the acts or omissions or both of such
parent, guardian
| ||||||
13 | or legal custodian, until such time as an investigation is made | ||||||
14 | as provided in
paragraph (5) and a hearing is held on the issue | ||||||
15 | of the fitness of such parent,
guardian or legal custodian to | ||||||
16 | care for the minor and the court enters an order
that such | ||||||
17 | parent, guardian or legal custodian is fit to care for the | ||||||
18 | minor.
| ||||||
19 | (2) The first permanency hearing shall be
conducted by the | ||||||
20 | judge. Subsequent permanency hearings may be
heard by a judge | ||||||
21 | or by hearing officers appointed or approved by the court in
| ||||||
22 | the manner set forth in Section 2-28.1 of this Act.
The initial | ||||||
23 | hearing shall be held (a) within 12 months from the date
| ||||||
24 | temporary
custody was taken, regardless of whether an | ||||||
25 | adjudication or dispositional hearing has been completed | ||||||
26 | within that time frame, (b) if the parental rights of both |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | parents have been
terminated in accordance with the procedure | ||||||
2 | described in subsection (5) of
Section 2-21, within
30 days of | ||||||
3 | the order for termination of parental rights and appointment of
| ||||||
4 | a guardian with power to consent to adoption, or (c) in | ||||||
5 | accordance with
subsection
(2) of Section 2-13.1. Subsequent | ||||||
6 | permanency hearings
shall be held every 6 months
or more | ||||||
7 | frequently if necessary in the court's determination following | ||||||
8 | the
initial permanency hearing, in accordance with the | ||||||
9 | standards set forth in this
Section, until the court determines | ||||||
10 | that the plan and goal have been achieved.
Once the plan and | ||||||
11 | goal have been achieved, if the minor remains in substitute
| ||||||
12 | care, the case shall be reviewed at least every 6 months | ||||||
13 | thereafter, subject to
the provisions of this Section, unless | ||||||
14 | the minor is placed in the guardianship
of a suitable relative | ||||||
15 | or other person and the court determines that further
| ||||||
16 | monitoring by the court does not further the health, safety or | ||||||
17 | best interest of
the child and that this is a stable permanent | ||||||
18 | placement.
The permanency hearings must occur within the time | ||||||
19 | frames set forth in this
subsection and may not be delayed in | ||||||
20 | anticipation of a report from any source or due to the agency's | ||||||
21 | failure to timely file its written report (this
written report | ||||||
22 | means the one required under the next paragraph and does not
| ||||||
23 | mean the service plan also referred to in that paragraph).
| ||||||
24 | The public agency that is the custodian or guardian of the | ||||||
25 | minor, or another
agency responsible for the minor's care, | ||||||
26 | shall ensure that all parties to the
permanency hearings are |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provided a copy of the most recent
service plan prepared within | ||||||
2 | the prior 6 months
at least 14 days in advance of the hearing. | ||||||
3 | If not contained in the plan, the
agency shall also include a | ||||||
4 | report setting forth (i) any special
physical, psychological, | ||||||
5 | educational, medical, emotional, or other needs of the
minor or | ||||||
6 | his or her family that are relevant to a permanency or | ||||||
7 | placement
determination and (ii) for any minor age 16 or over, | ||||||
8 | a written description of
the programs and services that will | ||||||
9 | enable the minor to prepare for independent
living. The | ||||||
10 | agency's written report must detail what progress or lack of
| ||||||
11 | progress the parent has made in correcting the conditions | ||||||
12 | requiring the child
to be in care; whether the child can be | ||||||
13 | returned home without jeopardizing the
child's health, safety, | ||||||
14 | and welfare, and if not, what permanency goal is
recommended to | ||||||
15 | be in the best interests of the child, and why the other
| ||||||
16 | permanency goals are not appropriate. The caseworker must | ||||||
17 | appear and testify
at the permanency hearing. If a permanency | ||||||
18 | hearing has not previously been
scheduled by the court, the | ||||||
19 | moving party shall move for the setting of a
permanency hearing | ||||||
20 | and the entry of an order within the time frames set forth
in | ||||||
21 | this subsection.
| ||||||
22 | At the permanency hearing, the court shall determine the | ||||||
23 | future status
of the child. The court shall set one of the | ||||||
24 | following permanency goals:
| ||||||
25 | (A) The minor will be returned home by a specific date | ||||||
26 | within 5
months.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (B) The minor will be in short-term care with a
| ||||||
2 | continued goal to return home within a period not to exceed | ||||||
3 | one
year, where the progress of the parent or parents is | ||||||
4 | substantial giving
particular consideration to the age and | ||||||
5 | individual needs of the minor.
| ||||||
6 | (B-1) The minor will be in short-term care with a | ||||||
7 | continued goal to return
home pending a status hearing. | ||||||
8 | When the court finds that a parent has not made
reasonable | ||||||
9 | efforts or reasonable progress to date, the court shall | ||||||
10 | identify
what actions the parent and the Department must | ||||||
11 | take in order to justify a
finding of reasonable efforts or | ||||||
12 | reasonable progress and shall set a status
hearing to be | ||||||
13 | held not earlier than 9 months from the date of | ||||||
14 | adjudication nor
later than 11 months from the date of | ||||||
15 | adjudication during which the parent's
progress will again | ||||||
16 | be reviewed.
| ||||||
17 | (C) The minor will be in substitute care pending court
| ||||||
18 | determination on termination of parental rights.
| ||||||
19 | (D) Adoption, provided that parental rights have been | ||||||
20 | terminated or
relinquished.
| ||||||
21 | (E) The guardianship of the minor will be transferred | ||||||
22 | to an individual or
couple on a permanent basis provided | ||||||
23 | that goals (A) through (D) have
been ruled out.
| ||||||
24 | (F) The minor over age 15 will be in substitute care | ||||||
25 | pending
independence.
| ||||||
26 | (G) The minor will be in substitute care because he or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | she cannot be
provided for in a home environment due to | ||||||
2 | developmental
disabilities or mental illness or because he | ||||||
3 | or she is a danger to self or
others, provided that goals | ||||||
4 | (A) through (D) have been ruled out.
| ||||||
5 | In selecting any permanency goal, the court shall indicate | ||||||
6 | in writing the
reasons the goal was selected and why the | ||||||
7 | preceding goals were ruled out.
Where the court has selected a | ||||||
8 | permanency goal other than (A), (B), or (B-1),
the
Department | ||||||
9 | of Children and Family Services shall not provide further
| ||||||
10 | reunification services, but shall provide services
consistent | ||||||
11 | with the goal
selected.
| ||||||
12 | (H) Notwithstanding any other provision in this | ||||||
13 | Section, the court may select the goal of continuing foster | ||||||
14 | care as a permanency goal if: | ||||||
15 | (1) The Department of Children and Family Services | ||||||
16 | has custody and guardianship of the minor; | ||||||
17 | (2) The court has ruled out all other permanency | ||||||
18 | goals based on the child's best interest;
| ||||||
19 | (3) The court has found compelling reasons, based | ||||||
20 | on written documentation reviewed by the court, to | ||||||
21 | place the minor in continuing foster care. Compelling | ||||||
22 | reasons include:
| ||||||
23 | (a) the child does not wish to be adopted or to | ||||||
24 | be placed in the guardianship of his or her | ||||||
25 | relative or foster care placement;
| ||||||
26 | (b) the child exhibits an extreme level of need |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | such that the removal of the child from his or her | ||||||
2 | placement would be detrimental to the child; or
| ||||||
3 | (c) the child who is the subject of the | ||||||
4 | permanency hearing has existing close and strong | ||||||
5 | bonds with a sibling, and achievement of another | ||||||
6 | permanency goal would substantially interfere with | ||||||
7 | the subject child's sibling relationship, taking | ||||||
8 | into consideration the nature and extent of the | ||||||
9 | relationship, and whether ongoing contact is in | ||||||
10 | the subject child's best interest, including | ||||||
11 | long-term emotional interest, as compared with the | ||||||
12 | legal and emotional benefit of permanence;
| ||||||
13 | (4) The child has lived with the relative or foster | ||||||
14 | parent for at least one year; and
| ||||||
15 | (5) The relative or foster parent currently caring | ||||||
16 | for the child is willing and capable of providing the | ||||||
17 | child with a stable and permanent environment. | ||||||
18 | The court shall set a
permanency
goal that is in the best | ||||||
19 | interest of the child. In determining that goal, the court | ||||||
20 | shall consult with the minor in an age-appropriate manner | ||||||
21 | regarding the proposed permanency or transition plan for the | ||||||
22 | minor. The court's determination
shall include the following | ||||||
23 | factors:
| ||||||
24 | (1) Age of the child.
| ||||||
25 | (2) Options available for permanence, including both | ||||||
26 | out-of-State and in-State placement options.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) Current placement of the child and the intent of | ||||||
2 | the family regarding
adoption.
| ||||||
3 | (4) Emotional, physical, and mental status or | ||||||
4 | condition of the child.
| ||||||
5 | (5) Types of services previously offered and whether or | ||||||
6 | not
the services were successful and, if not successful, | ||||||
7 | the reasons the services
failed.
| ||||||
8 | (6) Availability of services currently needed and | ||||||
9 | whether the services
exist.
| ||||||
10 | (7) Status of siblings of the minor.
| ||||||
11 | The court shall consider (i) the permanency goal contained | ||||||
12 | in the service
plan, (ii) the appropriateness of the
services | ||||||
13 | contained in the plan and whether those services have been
| ||||||
14 | provided, (iii) whether reasonable efforts have been made by | ||||||
15 | all
the parties to the service plan to achieve the goal, and | ||||||
16 | (iv) whether the plan
and goal have been achieved. All evidence
| ||||||
17 | relevant to determining these questions, including oral and | ||||||
18 | written reports,
may be admitted and may be relied on to the | ||||||
19 | extent of their probative value.
| ||||||
20 | The court shall make findings as to whether, in violation | ||||||
21 | of Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act, | ||||||
22 | any portion of the service plan compels a child or parent to | ||||||
23 | engage in any activity or refrain from any activity that is not | ||||||
24 | reasonably related to remedying a condition or conditions that | ||||||
25 | gave rise or which could give rise to any finding of child | ||||||
26 | abuse or neglect. The services contained in the service plan |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall include services reasonably related to remedy the | ||||||
2 | conditions that gave rise to removal of the child from the home | ||||||
3 | of his or her parents, guardian, or legal custodian or that the | ||||||
4 | court has found must be remedied prior to returning the child | ||||||
5 | home. Any tasks the court requires of the parents, guardian, or | ||||||
6 | legal custodian or child prior to returning the child home, | ||||||
7 | must be reasonably related to remedying a condition or | ||||||
8 | conditions that gave rise to or which could give rise to any | ||||||
9 | finding of child abuse or neglect. | ||||||
10 | If the permanency goal is to return home, the court shall | ||||||
11 | make findings that identify any problems that are causing | ||||||
12 | continued placement of the children away from the home and | ||||||
13 | identify what outcomes would be considered a resolution to | ||||||
14 | these problems. The court shall explain to the parents that | ||||||
15 | these findings are based on the information that the court has | ||||||
16 | at that time and may be revised, should additional evidence be | ||||||
17 | presented to the court. | ||||||
18 | The court shall review the Sibling Contact and Support Plan | ||||||
19 | developed or modified under subsection (f) of Section 7.4 of | ||||||
20 | the Children and Family Services Act, if applicable. If the | ||||||
21 | Department has not convened a meeting to
develop or modify a | ||||||
22 | Sibling Contact Support Plan, or if the court finds that the | ||||||
23 | existing Plan
is not in the child's best interest, the court | ||||||
24 | may enter an order requiring the Department to
develop, modify | ||||||
25 | or implement a Sibling Contact Support Plan, or order | ||||||
26 | mediation. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If the goal has been achieved, the court shall enter orders | ||||||
2 | that are
necessary to conform the minor's legal custody and | ||||||
3 | status to those findings.
| ||||||
4 | If, after receiving evidence, the court determines that the | ||||||
5 | services
contained in the plan are not reasonably calculated to | ||||||
6 | facilitate achievement
of the permanency goal, the court shall | ||||||
7 | put in writing the factual basis
supporting the determination | ||||||
8 | and enter specific findings based on the evidence.
The court | ||||||
9 | also shall enter an order for the Department to develop and
| ||||||
10 | implement a new service plan or to implement changes to the | ||||||
11 | current service
plan consistent with the court's findings. The | ||||||
12 | new service plan shall be filed
with the court and served on | ||||||
13 | all parties within 45 days of the date of the
order. The court | ||||||
14 | shall continue the matter until the new service plan is
filed. | ||||||
15 | Unless otherwise specifically authorized by law, the court is | ||||||
16 | not
empowered under this subsection (2) or under subsection (3) | ||||||
17 | to order specific
placements, specific services, or specific | ||||||
18 | service providers to be included in
the plan.
| ||||||
19 | A guardian or custodian appointed by the court pursuant to | ||||||
20 | this Act shall
file updated case plans with the court every 6 | ||||||
21 | months.
| ||||||
22 | Rights of wards of the court under this Act are enforceable | ||||||
23 | against
any public agency by complaints for relief by mandamus | ||||||
24 | filed in any
proceedings brought under this Act.
| ||||||
25 | (3) Following the permanency hearing, the court shall enter | ||||||
26 | a written order
that includes the determinations required under |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection (2) of this
Section and sets forth the following:
| ||||||
2 | (a) The future status of the minor, including the | ||||||
3 | permanency goal, and
any order necessary to conform the | ||||||
4 | minor's legal custody and status to such
determination; or
| ||||||
5 | (b) If the permanency goal of the minor cannot be | ||||||
6 | achieved immediately,
the specific reasons for continuing | ||||||
7 | the minor in the care of the Department of
Children and | ||||||
8 | Family Services or other agency for short term placement, | ||||||
9 | and the
following determinations:
| ||||||
10 | (i) (Blank).
| ||||||
11 | (ii) Whether the services required by the court
and | ||||||
12 | by any service plan prepared within the prior 6 months
| ||||||
13 | have been provided and (A) if so, whether the services | ||||||
14 | were reasonably
calculated to facilitate the | ||||||
15 | achievement of the permanency goal or (B) if not
| ||||||
16 | provided, why the services were not provided.
| ||||||
17 | (iii) Whether the minor's placement is necessary, | ||||||
18 | and appropriate to the
plan and goal, recognizing the | ||||||
19 | right of minors to the least restrictive (most
| ||||||
20 | family-like) setting available and in close proximity | ||||||
21 | to the parents' home
consistent with the health, | ||||||
22 | safety, best interest and special needs of the
minor | ||||||
23 | and, if the minor is placed out-of-State, whether the | ||||||
24 | out-of-State
placement continues to be appropriate and | ||||||
25 | consistent with the health, safety,
and best interest | ||||||
26 | of the minor.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (iv) (Blank).
| ||||||
2 | (v) (Blank).
| ||||||
3 | (4) The minor or any person interested in the minor may | ||||||
4 | apply to the
court for a change in custody of the minor and the | ||||||
5 | appointment of a new
custodian or guardian of the person or for | ||||||
6 | the restoration of the minor
to the custody of his parents or | ||||||
7 | former guardian or custodian.
| ||||||
8 | When return home is not selected as the permanency goal:
| ||||||
9 | (a) The Department, the minor, or the current
foster | ||||||
10 | parent or relative
caregiver seeking private guardianship | ||||||
11 | may file a motion for private
guardianship of the minor. | ||||||
12 | Appointment of a guardian under this Section
requires | ||||||
13 | approval of the court.
| ||||||
14 | (b) The State's Attorney may file a motion to terminate | ||||||
15 | parental rights of
any parent who has failed to make | ||||||
16 | reasonable efforts to correct the conditions
which led to | ||||||
17 | the removal of the child or reasonable progress toward the | ||||||
18 | return
of the child, as defined in subdivision (D)(m) of | ||||||
19 | Section 1 of the Adoption Act
or for whom any other | ||||||
20 | unfitness ground for terminating parental rights as
| ||||||
21 | defined in subdivision (D) of Section 1 of the Adoption Act | ||||||
22 | exists. | ||||||
23 | When parental rights have been terminated for a minimum | ||||||
24 | of 3 years and the child who is the subject of the | ||||||
25 | permanency hearing is 13 years old or older and is not | ||||||
26 | currently placed in a placement likely to achieve |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | permanency, the Department of
Children and Family Services | ||||||
2 | shall make reasonable efforts to locate parents whose | ||||||
3 | rights have been terminated, except when the Court | ||||||
4 | determines that those efforts would be futile or | ||||||
5 | inconsistent with the subject child's best interests. The | ||||||
6 | Department of
Children and Family Services shall assess the | ||||||
7 | appropriateness of the parent whose rights have been | ||||||
8 | terminated, and shall, as appropriate, foster and support | ||||||
9 | connections between the parent whose rights have been | ||||||
10 | terminated and the youth. The Department of
Children and | ||||||
11 | Family Services shall document its determinations and | ||||||
12 | efforts to foster connections in the child's case plan.
| ||||||
13 | Custody of the minor shall not be restored to any parent, | ||||||
14 | guardian or legal
custodian in any case in which the minor is | ||||||
15 | found to be neglected or abused
under Section 2-3 or dependent | ||||||
16 | under Section 2-4 of this Act, unless the
minor can be cared | ||||||
17 | for at home
without endangering his or her health or safety and | ||||||
18 | it is in the best
interest of the minor,
and if such neglect, | ||||||
19 | abuse, or dependency is found by the court
under paragraph (1) | ||||||
20 | of Section 2-21 of this Act to have come
about due to the acts | ||||||
21 | or omissions or both of such parent, guardian or legal
| ||||||
22 | custodian, until such time as an investigation is made as | ||||||
23 | provided in
paragraph (5) and a hearing is held on the issue of | ||||||
24 | the health,
safety and
best interest of the minor and the | ||||||
25 | fitness of such
parent, guardian or legal custodian to care for | ||||||
26 | the minor and the court
enters an order that such parent, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | guardian or legal custodian is fit to
care for the minor. In | ||||||
2 | the event that the minor has attained 18 years
of age and the | ||||||
3 | guardian or custodian petitions the court for an order
| ||||||
4 | terminating his guardianship or custody, guardianship or | ||||||
5 | custody shall
terminate automatically 30 days after the receipt | ||||||
6 | of the petition unless
the court orders otherwise. No legal | ||||||
7 | custodian or guardian of the
person may be removed without his | ||||||
8 | consent until given notice and an
opportunity to be heard by | ||||||
9 | the court.
| ||||||
10 | When the court orders a child restored to the custody of | ||||||
11 | the parent or
parents, the court shall order the parent or | ||||||
12 | parents to cooperate with the
Department of Children and Family | ||||||
13 | Services and comply with the terms of an
after-care plan, or | ||||||
14 | risk the loss of custody of the child and possible
termination | ||||||
15 | of their parental rights. The court may also enter an order of
| ||||||
16 | protective supervision in accordance with Section 2-24.
| ||||||
17 | (5) Whenever a parent, guardian, or legal custodian files a | ||||||
18 | motion for
restoration of custody of the minor, and the minor | ||||||
19 | was adjudicated
neglected, abused, or dependent as a result of | ||||||
20 | physical abuse,
the court shall cause to be
made an | ||||||
21 | investigation as to whether the movant has ever been charged
| ||||||
22 | with or convicted of any criminal offense which would indicate | ||||||
23 | the
likelihood of any further physical abuse to the minor. | ||||||
24 | Evidence of such
criminal convictions shall be taken into | ||||||
25 | account in determining whether the
minor can be cared for at | ||||||
26 | home without endangering his or her health or safety
and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | fitness of the parent, guardian, or legal custodian.
| ||||||
2 | (a) Any agency of this State or any subdivision thereof | ||||||
3 | shall
co-operate with the agent of the court in providing | ||||||
4 | any information
sought in the investigation.
| ||||||
5 | (b) The information derived from the investigation and | ||||||
6 | any
conclusions or recommendations derived from the | ||||||
7 | information shall be
provided to the parent, guardian, or | ||||||
8 | legal custodian seeking restoration
of custody prior to the | ||||||
9 | hearing on fitness and the movant shall have
an opportunity | ||||||
10 | at the hearing to refute the information or contest its
| ||||||
11 | significance.
| ||||||
12 | (c) All information obtained from any investigation | ||||||
13 | shall be confidential
as provided in Section 5-150 of this | ||||||
14 | Act.

| ||||||
19 | Sec. 3-12. Shelter care hearing. At the appearance of the
| ||||||
20 | minor before the court at the shelter care hearing, all
| ||||||
21 | witnesses present shall be examined before the court in | ||||||
22 | relation to any
matter connected with the allegations made in | ||||||
23 | the petition.
| ||||||
24 | (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause to | ||||||
25 | believe
that the minor is a person requiring authoritative |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | intervention, it shall
release the minor and dismiss the | ||||||
2 | petition.
| ||||||
3 | (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to | ||||||
4 | believe that the
minor is a person requiring authoritative | ||||||
5 | intervention, the minor, his or
her parent, guardian, custodian | ||||||
6 | and other persons able to give relevant
testimony shall be | ||||||
7 | examined before the court. After such testimony, the
court may | ||||||
8 | enter an order that the minor shall be released upon the | ||||||
9 | request
of a parent, guardian or custodian if the parent, | ||||||
10 | guardian or custodian
appears to take custody. Custodian shall | ||||||
11 | include any agency of the State
which has been given custody or | ||||||
12 | wardship of the child. The Court shall require
documentation by | ||||||
13 | representatives of the Department of Children and Family
| ||||||
14 | Services or the probation department as to the reasonable | ||||||
15 | efforts that were
made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of | ||||||
16 | removal of the minor from his
or her home, and shall consider | ||||||
17 | the testimony of any person as to those
reasonable efforts. If | ||||||
18 | the court finds that it is a
matter of immediate and urgent | ||||||
19 | necessity for the protection of the minor
or of the person or | ||||||
20 | property of another that the minor be
placed in a shelter care | ||||||
21 | facility, or that he or she is likely to flee the
jurisdiction | ||||||
22 | of the court, and further finds that reasonable efforts have
| ||||||
23 | been made or good cause has been shown why reasonable efforts | ||||||
24 | cannot
prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal of the | ||||||
25 | minor from his or her
home, the court may prescribe shelter | ||||||
26 | care and order that the minor be kept
in a suitable place |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | designated by the court or in a shelter care facility
| ||||||
2 | designated by the Department of Children and Family Services or | ||||||
3 | a licensed
child welfare agency; otherwise it shall release the | ||||||
4 | minor from custody.
If the court prescribes shelter care, then | ||||||
5 | in placing the minor, the
Department or other agency shall, to | ||||||
6 | the extent
compatible with the court's order, comply with | ||||||
7 | Section 7 of the Children and
Family Services Act. If
the minor | ||||||
8 | is ordered placed in a shelter care facility of the Department | ||||||
9 | of
Children and Family Services or a licensed child welfare | ||||||
10 | agency, the court
shall, upon request of the Department or | ||||||
11 | other agency, appoint the
Department of Children and Family | ||||||
12 | Services Guardianship Administrator or
other appropriate | ||||||
13 | agency executive temporary custodian of the minor and the
court | ||||||
14 | may enter such other orders related to the temporary custody as | ||||||
15 | it
deems fit and proper, including the provision of services to | ||||||
16 | the minor or
his family to ameliorate the causes contributing | ||||||
17 | to the finding of probable
cause or to the finding of the | ||||||
18 | existence of immediate and urgent necessity.
Acceptance of | ||||||
19 | services shall not be considered an admission of any
allegation | ||||||
20 | in a petition made pursuant to this Act, nor may a referral of
| ||||||
21 | services be considered as evidence in any proceeding pursuant | ||||||
22 | to this Act,
except where the issue is whether the Department | ||||||
23 | has made reasonable
efforts to reunite the family. In making | ||||||
24 | its findings that reasonable
efforts have been made or that | ||||||
25 | good cause has been shown why reasonable
efforts cannot prevent | ||||||
26 | or eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor
from his or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | her home, the court shall state in writing its findings
| ||||||
2 | concerning the nature of the services that were offered or the | ||||||
3 | efforts that
were made to prevent removal of the child and the | ||||||
4 | apparent reasons that such
services or efforts could not | ||||||
5 | prevent the need for removal. The parents,
guardian, custodian, | ||||||
6 | temporary custodian and minor shall each be furnished
a copy of | ||||||
7 | such written findings. The temporary custodian shall maintain a
| ||||||
8 | copy of the court order and written findings in the case record | ||||||
9 | for the
child.
| ||||||
10 | The order together with the court's findings of fact and | ||||||
11 | support thereof
shall be entered of record in the court.
| ||||||
12 | Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and | ||||||
13 | urgent necessity
for the protection of the minor that the minor | ||||||
14 | be placed in a shelter care
facility, the minor shall not be | ||||||
15 | returned to the parent, custodian or guardian
until the court | ||||||
16 | finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
| ||||||
17 | protection of the minor.
| ||||||
18 | (3) If prior to the shelter care hearing for a minor | ||||||
19 | described in
Sections 2-3, 2-4, 3-3 and 4-3 the petitioner is | ||||||
20 | unable to serve notice on the
party respondent, the shelter | ||||||
21 | care hearing may proceed ex-parte. A shelter
care order from an | ||||||
22 | ex-parte hearing shall be endorsed with the date and
hour of | ||||||
23 | issuance and shall be filed with the clerk's office and entered | ||||||
24 | of
record. The order shall expire after 10 days from the time | ||||||
25 | it is issued
unless before its expiration it is renewed, at a | ||||||
26 | hearing upon appearance
of the party respondent, or upon an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | affidavit of the moving party as to all
diligent efforts to | ||||||
2 | notify the party respondent by notice as herein
prescribed. The | ||||||
3 | notice prescribed shall be in writing and shall be
personally | ||||||
4 | delivered to the minor or the minor's attorney and to the last
| ||||||
5 | known address of the other person or persons entitled to | ||||||
6 | notice. The
notice shall also state the nature of the | ||||||
7 | allegations, the nature of the
order sought by the State, | ||||||
8 | including whether temporary custody is sought,
and the | ||||||
9 | consequences of failure to appear; and shall explain the right | ||||||
10 | of
the parties and the procedures to vacate or modify a shelter | ||||||
11 | care order as
provided in this Section. The notice for a | ||||||
12 | shelter care hearing shall be
substantially as follows:

| ||||||
23 | 4. To obtain an explanation of any proceedings and | ||||||

| ||||||
25 | (4) If the parent, guardian, legal custodian, responsible | ||||||

2 | file an affidavit setting forth
these facts, and the clerk | ||||||
3 | shall set the matter for rehearing not later
than 48 hours, | ||||||
4 | excluding Sundays and legal holidays, after the filing of
the | ||||||
5 | affidavit. At the rehearing, the court shall proceed in the | ||||||
6 | same manner
as upon the original hearing.
| ||||||
7 | (5) Only when there is reasonable cause to believe that the | ||||||
8 | minor taken
into custody is a person described in subsection | ||||||
9 | (3) of Section 5-105 may the minor
be kept or
detained in a | ||||||
10 | detention home or county or municipal jail. This Section
shall | ||||||
11 | in no way be construed to limit subsection (6).
| ||||||
12 | (6) No minor under 16 years of age may be confined in a | ||||||
13 | jail or place
ordinarily used for the confinement of prisoners | ||||||
14 | in a police station. Minors

21 | (8) If neither the parent, guardian or custodian appears | ||||||
22 | within 24
hours to take custody of a minor released upon | ||||||

subsection (2) of this Section, then the | ||||||
24 | clerk of the court shall set the
matter for rehearing not later | ||||||
25 | than 7 days after the original order and
shall issue a summons | ||||||
26 | directed to the parent, guardian or custodian to
appear. At the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | same time the probation department shall prepare a report
on | ||||||
2 | the minor. If a parent, guardian or custodian does not appear | ||||||
3 | at such
rehearing, the judge may enter an order prescribing | ||||||
4 | that the minor be kept
in a suitable place designated by the | ||||||
5 | Department of Children and Family
Services or a licensed child | ||||||
6 | welfare agency.
| ||||||
7 | (9) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, | ||||||
8 | any interested
party, including the State, the temporary | ||||||

11 | Neglected Child Reporting Act, foster parent, or any
of their | ||||||
12 | representatives, on notice to all parties entitled to notice, | ||||||
13 | may
file a motion to modify or vacate a temporary custody order | ||||||
14 | on any of the
following grounds:
| ||||||
15 | (a) It is no longer a matter of immediate and urgent | ||||||
16 | necessity that the
minor remain in shelter care; or
| ||||||
17 | (b) There is a material change in the circumstances of | ||||||
18 | the natural
family from which the minor was removed; or
| ||||||
19 | (c) A person, including a parent, relative or legal | ||||||
20 | guardian, is
capable of assuming temporary custody of the | ||||||
21 | minor; or
| ||||||
22 | (d) Services provided by the Department of Children and | ||||||
23 | Family Services
or a child welfare agency or other service | ||||||
24 | provider have been successful in
eliminating the need for | ||||||
25 | temporary custody.
| ||||||
26 | The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 14 days after
such motion is filed. In the event that the court | ||||||
2 | modifies or vacates a
temporary custody order but does not | ||||||
3 | vacate its finding of probable cause,
the court may order that | ||||||
4 | appropriate services be continued or initiated in
behalf of the | ||||||
5 | minor and his or her family.
| ||||||
6 | (10) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61 | ||||||
7 | this amendatory Act of
the 98th General Assembly apply to a | ||||||

| ||||||
13 | Sec. 4-9. Shelter care hearing. At the appearance of the
| ||||||
14 | minor before the court at the shelter care hearing, all
| ||||||
15 | witnesses present shall be examined before the court in | ||||||
16 | relation to any
matter connected with the allegations made in | ||||||
17 | the petition.
| ||||||
18 | (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause to | ||||||
19 | believe that
the minor is addicted, it shall release the minor | ||||||
20 | and dismiss the petition.
| ||||||
21 | (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to | ||||||
22 | believe that the
minor is addicted, the minor, his or
her | ||||||
23 | parent, guardian, custodian and other persons able to give | ||||||
24 | relevant
testimony shall be examined before the court. After | ||||||
25 | such testimony, the
court may enter an order that the minor |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be released
upon the request of a parent, guardian or | ||||||
2 | custodian if the parent, guardian
or custodian appears to take | ||||||
3 | custody
and agrees to abide by a court order
which requires the | ||||||
4 | minor and his or her parent, guardian, or legal custodian
to
| ||||||
5 | complete an evaluation by an entity licensed by the Department | ||||||
6 | of Human
Services, as the successor to
the Department of | ||||||
7 | Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, and complete
any treatment | ||||||
8 | recommendations indicated by the assessment. Custodian shall
| ||||||
9 | include any agency
of the State which has been given custody or | ||||||
10 | wardship of the child.
| ||||||
11 | The Court shall require
documentation by representatives | ||||||
12 | of the Department of Children and Family
Services or the | ||||||
13 | probation department as to the reasonable efforts that were
| ||||||
14 | made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal of the | ||||||
15 | minor from his
or her home, and shall consider the testimony of | ||||||
16 | any person as to those
reasonable efforts. If the court finds | ||||||
17 | that it is a
matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the | ||||||
18 | protection of the minor
or of the person or property of another | ||||||
19 | that the minor be or
placed in a shelter care facility or that | ||||||
20 | he or she is likely to flee the
jurisdiction of the court, and | ||||||
21 | further, finds that reasonable efforts
have been made or good | ||||||
22 | cause has been shown why reasonable efforts cannot
prevent or | ||||||
23 | eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from his or her
| ||||||
24 | home, the court may prescribe shelter care
and order that the | ||||||
25 | minor be kept in a suitable place designated by the
court or in | ||||||
26 | a shelter care facility designated by the Department of
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Children and Family Services or a licensed child welfare | ||||||
2 | agency, or
in a facility or program licensed by the Department | ||||||
3 | of Human
Services for shelter and treatment services;
otherwise | ||||||
4 | it shall release the minor from custody. If the court | ||||||
5 | prescribes
shelter care, then in placing the minor, the | ||||||
6 | Department or other agency shall,
to the extent compatible with | ||||||
7 | the court's order, comply with Section 7 of the
Children and | ||||||
8 | Family Services Act. If the minor is ordered placed in a | ||||||
9 | shelter
care facility of the Department of Children and Family | ||||||
10 | Services or a licensed
child welfare agency, or in
a facility | ||||||
11 | or program licensed by the Department of Human
Services for
| ||||||
12 | shelter and treatment
services, the court shall, upon request | ||||||
13 | of the appropriate
Department or other agency, appoint the | ||||||
14 | Department of Children and Family
Services Guardianship | ||||||
15 | Administrator or other appropriate agency executive
temporary | ||||||
16 | custodian of the minor and the court may enter such other | ||||||
17 | orders
related to the temporary custody as it deems fit and | ||||||
18 | proper, including
the provision of services to the minor or his | ||||||
19 | family to ameliorate the
causes contributing to the finding of | ||||||
20 | probable cause or to the finding of
the existence of immediate | ||||||
21 | and urgent necessity. Acceptance of services
shall not be | ||||||
22 | considered an admission of any allegation in a petition made
| ||||||
23 | pursuant to this Act, nor may a referral of services be | ||||||
24 | considered as
evidence in any proceeding pursuant to this Act, | ||||||
25 | except where the issue is
whether the Department has made | ||||||
26 | reasonable efforts to reunite the family.
In making its |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | findings that reasonable efforts have been made or that good
| ||||||
2 | cause has been shown why reasonable efforts cannot prevent or | ||||||
3 | eliminate the
necessity of removal of the minor from his or her | ||||||
4 | home, the court shall
state in writing its findings concerning | ||||||
5 | the nature of the services that
were offered or the efforts | ||||||
6 | that were made to prevent removal of the child
and the apparent | ||||||
7 | reasons that such
services or efforts could not prevent the | ||||||
8 | need for removal. The parents,
guardian, custodian, temporary | ||||||
9 | custodian and minor shall each be furnished
a copy of such | ||||||
10 | written findings. The temporary custodian shall maintain a
copy | ||||||
11 | of the court order and written findings in the case record for | ||||||
12 | the
child. The order together with the court's findings of fact | ||||||
13 | in support
thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
| ||||||
14 | Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and | ||||||
15 | urgent necessity
for the protection of the minor that the minor | ||||||
16 | be placed in a shelter care
facility, the minor shall not be | ||||||
17 | returned to the parent, custodian or guardian
until the court | ||||||
18 | finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
| ||||||
19 | protection of the minor.
| ||||||
20 | (3) If neither the parent, guardian, legal custodian, | ||||||
21 | responsible
relative nor counsel of the minor has had actual | ||||||
22 | notice of or is present
at the shelter care hearing, he or she | ||||||
23 | may file his or her
affidavit setting forth these facts, and | ||||||
24 | the clerk shall set the matter for
rehearing not later than 24 | ||||||
25 | hours, excluding Sundays and legal holidays,
after the filing | ||||||
26 | of the affidavit. At the rehearing, the court shall
proceed in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the same manner as upon the original hearing.
| ||||||
2 | (4) If the minor is not brought before a judicial officer | ||||||
3 | within the
time period as specified in Section 4-8, the minor | ||||||
4 | must immediately be
released from custody.
| ||||||
5 | (5) Only when there is reasonable cause to believe that the | ||||||
6 | minor taken
into custody is a person described in subsection | ||||||
7 | (3) of Section 5-105 may the minor be kept or
detained in a | ||||||
8 | detention home or county or municipal jail. This Section
shall | ||||||
9 | in no way be construed to limit subsection (6).
| ||||||
10 | (6) No minor under 16 years of age may be confined in a | ||||||
11 | jail or place
ordinarily used for the confinement of prisoners | ||||||
12 | in a police station.
Minors under 18 years of age must be kept | ||||||
13 | separate from confined adults and
may not at any time be kept | ||||||
14 | in the same cell, room or yard with adults
confined pursuant to | ||||||
15 | the criminal law.
| ||||||
16 | (7) If neither the parent, guardian or custodian appears | ||||||
17 | within 24
hours to take custody of a minor released upon | ||||||
18 | request pursuant to
subsection (2) of this Section, then the | ||||||
19 | clerk of the court shall set the
matter for rehearing not later | ||||||
20 | than 7 days after the original order and
shall issue a summons | ||||||
21 | directed to the parent, guardian or custodian to
appear. At the | ||||||
22 | same time the probation department shall prepare a report
on | ||||||
23 | the minor. If a parent, guardian or custodian does not appear | ||||||
24 | at such
rehearing, the judge may enter an order prescribing | ||||||
25 | that the minor be kept
in a suitable place designated by the | ||||||
26 | Department of Children and Family
Services or a licensed child |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | welfare agency.
| ||||||
2 | (8) Any interested party, including the State, the | ||||||
3 | temporary
custodian, an agency providing services to the minor | ||||||
4 | or family under a
service plan pursuant to Section 8.2 of the | ||||||
5 | Abused and Neglected Child
Reporting Act, foster parent, or any | ||||||
6 | of their representatives, may file a
motion to modify or vacate | ||||||
7 | a temporary custody order on any of the following
grounds:
| ||||||
8 | (a) It is no longer a matter of immediate and urgent | ||||||
9 | necessity that the
minor remain in shelter care; or
| ||||||
10 | (b) There is a material change in the circumstances of | ||||||
11 | the natural
family from which the minor was removed; or
| ||||||
12 | (c) A person, including a parent, relative or legal | ||||||
13 | guardian, is capable
of assuming temporary custody of the | ||||||
14 | minor; or
| ||||||
15 | (d) Services provided by the Department of Children and | ||||||
16 | Family Services
or a child welfare agency or other service | ||||||
17 | provider have been successful in
eliminating the need for | ||||||
18 | temporary custody.
| ||||||
19 | The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than | ||||||
20 | 14 days after
such motion is filed. In the event that the court | ||||||
21 | modifies or vacates a
temporary custody order but does not | ||||||
22 | vacate its finding of probable cause,
the court may order that | ||||||
23 | appropriate services be continued or initiated in
behalf of the | ||||||
24 | minor and his or her family.
| ||||||

| ||||||
2 | (b)(i) If before trial or plea an information or indictment | ||||||

4 | (a) of this subsection
(1) the State's Attorney may proceed on | ||||||
5 | any lesser charge or charges, but
only in Juvenile Court under | ||||||
6 | the provisions of this Article. The State's
Attorney may | ||||||
7 | proceed on a lesser charge if
before trial the minor defendant | ||||||
8 | knowingly and with advice of counsel waives,
in writing, his or | ||||||
9 | her right to have the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.
| ||||||
10 | (ii) If before trial or plea an information or indictment | ||||||
11 | is filed that
includes one or more charges specified in | ||||||

20 | the Unified Code of Corrections.
| ||||||
21 | (ii) If after trial or plea the court finds that the minor | ||||||

23 | subsection (1), that finding shall
not invalidate the verdict | ||||||
24 | or the prosecution of the minor under the criminal

evidence that the offense was | ||||||
11 | committed in an aggressive and premeditated
manner; (b) the age | ||||||
12 | of the minor; (c) the previous history of the

13 | whether there are facilities particularly available to the | ||||||

15 | treatment
and rehabilitation of the minor; (e) whether
the | ||||||
16 | security of the public requires sentencing under Chapter V of | ||||||
17 | the
Unified Code of Corrections; and (f) whether the minor | ||||||
18 | possessed a deadly
weapon when committing the offense. The | ||||||
19 | rules of evidence shall be the same as
if at trial. If after | ||||||
20 | the hearing the court finds that the minor should be
sentenced | ||||||
21 | under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections, then the | ||||||
22 | court
shall sentence the minor accordingly having available to | ||||||
23 | it any or all
dispositions so prescribed.

| ||||||
26 | 5-120 of this
Article shall not apply to any minor who at the |

| ||||||
7 | time of day or the time of year. School is defined, for | ||||||
8 | purposes of this
Section as any public or private elementary or | ||||||
9 | secondary school, community
college, college, or university. | ||||||
10 | These charges and all other charges arising
out of the same | ||||||
11 | incident shall be prosecuted under the criminal laws of this
| ||||||
12 | State.
| ||||||
13 | (b)(i) If before trial or plea an information or indictment | ||||||
14 | is filed that
does not charge an offense specified in paragraph | ||||||
15 | (a) of this subsection (3)
the State's Attorney may proceed on | ||||||
16 | any lesser charge or charges, but only in
Juvenile Court under | ||||||
17 | the provisions of this Article. The State's Attorney may
| ||||||
18 | proceed under the criminal laws of this State on a lesser | ||||||
19 | charge if before
trial the minor defendant knowingly and with | ||||||
20 | advice of counsel waives, in
writing, his or her right to have | ||||||
21 | the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.
| ||||||
22 | (ii) If before trial or plea an information or indictment | ||||||
23 | is filed that
includes one or more charges specified in | ||||||
24 | paragraph (a) of this subsection (3)
and additional charges | ||||||
25 | that are not specified in that paragraph, all of the
charges | ||||||
26 | arising out of the same incident shall be prosecuted under the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | criminal
laws of this State.
| ||||||

3 | offense

4 | in sentencing the minor,
the court shall have available any or | ||||||
5 | all dispositions prescribed for that
offense under Chapter V of | ||||||
6 | the Unified Code of Corrections.
| ||||||
7 | (ii) If after trial or plea the court finds that the minor | ||||||
8 | committed an
offense not covered by paragraph (a) of this | ||||||
9 | subsection (3), that finding shall
not invalidate the verdict | ||||||
10 | or the prosecution of the minor under the criminal
laws of the | ||||||
11 | State; however, unless the State requests a hearing for the
| ||||||
12 | purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter V of the Unified | ||||||
13 | Code of
Corrections, the Court must proceed under Sections | ||||||
14 | 5-705 and 5-710 of this
Article. To request a hearing, the | ||||||
15 | State must file a written motion within 10
days following the | ||||||
16 | entry of a finding or the return of a verdict. Reasonable
| ||||||
17 | notice of the motion shall be given to the minor or his or her | ||||||
18 | counsel. If the
motion is made by the State, the court shall | ||||||
19 | conduct a hearing to determine if
the minor should be sentenced | ||||||
20 | under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
Corrections. In making | ||||||
21 | its determination, the court shall consider
among other | ||||||
22 | matters: (a) whether there is
evidence that the offense was | ||||||
23 | committed in an aggressive and premeditated
manner; (b) the age | ||||||
24 | of the minor; (c) the previous history of the
minor; (d) | ||||||
25 | whether there are facilities particularly available to the | ||||||
26 | Juvenile
Court or the Department of Juvenile Justice for the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | treatment
and rehabilitation of the minor; (e) whether
the | ||||||
2 | security of the public requires sentencing under Chapter V of | ||||||
3 | the
Unified Code of Corrections; and (f) whether the minor | ||||||
4 | possessed a deadly
weapon when committing the offense. The | ||||||
5 | rules of evidence shall be the same as
if at trial. If after | ||||||
6 | the hearing the court finds that the minor should be
sentenced | ||||||
7 | under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections, then the | ||||||
8 | court
shall sentence the minor accordingly having available to | ||||||
9 | it any or all
dispositions so prescribed.
| ||||||
10 | (4)(a) The definition of delinquent minor under Section | ||||||
11 | 5-120 of this
Article
shall not apply to any minor who at the | ||||||
12 | time of an offense was at least 13
years of age and who is | ||||||
13 | charged with first degree murder committed during the
course of | ||||||
14 | either aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual | ||||||
15 | assault,
or aggravated kidnaping. However, this subsection (4) | ||||||
16 | does not include a minor
charged with first degree murder based | ||||||
17 | exclusively upon the accountability
provisions of the Criminal | ||||||
18 | Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
| ||||||
19 | (b)(i) If before trial or plea an information or indictment | ||||||
20 | is filed that
does not charge first degree murder committed | ||||||
21 | during the course of aggravated
criminal sexual assault, | ||||||
22 | criminal
sexual assault, or aggravated kidnaping, the State's | ||||||
23 | Attorney may proceed on
any lesser charge or charges, but only | ||||||
24 | in Juvenile Court under the provisions
of this Article. The | ||||||
25 | State's Attorney may proceed under the criminal laws of
this | ||||||
26 | State
on a lesser charge if before trial the minor defendant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | knowingly and with
advice of counsel waives, in writing, his or | ||||||
2 | her right to have the matter
proceed in Juvenile Court.
| ||||||
3 | (ii) If before trial or plea an information or
indictment | ||||||
4 | is filed that includes first degree murder committed during the
| ||||||
5 | course of aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual | ||||||
6 | assault, or
aggravated kidnaping, and additional charges that | ||||||
7 | are not specified in
paragraph (a) of this subsection, all of | ||||||
8 | the charges arising out of the same
incident shall be | ||||||
9 | prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State.
| ||||||
10 | (c)(i) If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of | ||||||
11 | first degree
murder
committed during the course of aggravated | ||||||
12 | criminal sexual assault, criminal
sexual assault, or | ||||||
13 | aggravated kidnaping, in sentencing the minor, the court
shall | ||||||
14 | have available any or all dispositions prescribed for that | ||||||
15 | offense under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
| ||||||
16 | (ii) If the minor was not yet 15
years of age at the time of | ||||||
17 | the offense, and if after trial or plea the court
finds that | ||||||
18 | the minor
committed an offense other than first degree murder | ||||||
19 | committed during
the course of either aggravated criminal | ||||||
20 | sexual assault, criminal sexual
assault, or aggravated | ||||||
21 | kidnapping, the finding shall not invalidate the
verdict or the | ||||||
22 | prosecution of the minor under the criminal laws of the State;
| ||||||
23 | however, unless the State requests a hearing for the purpose of | ||||||
24 | sentencing the
minor under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of | ||||||
25 | Corrections, the Court must proceed under
Sections 5-705 and | ||||||
26 | 5-710 of this Article. To request a hearing, the State must
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | file a written motion within 10 days following the entry of a | ||||||
2 | finding or the
return of a verdict. Reasonable notice of the | ||||||
3 | motion shall be given to the
minor or his or her counsel. If | ||||||
4 | the motion is made by the State, the court
shall conduct a | ||||||
5 | hearing to determine whether the minor should be sentenced
| ||||||
6 | under Chapter V of the
Unified Code of Corrections. In making | ||||||
7 | its determination, the court shall
consider among other | ||||||
8 | matters: (a) whether there is evidence that the offense
was | ||||||
9 | committed in an
aggressive and premeditated manner; (b) the age | ||||||
10 | of the minor; (c) the
previous delinquent history of the minor; | ||||||
11 | (d) whether there are facilities
particularly available to the | ||||||
12 | Juvenile Court or the Department of Juvenile Justice
for the | ||||||
13 | treatment and rehabilitation of the minor; (e) whether the best
| ||||||
14 | interest of the minor and the security of the public require | ||||||
15 | sentencing under
Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections; | ||||||
16 | and (f) whether the minor
possessed a deadly weapon when | ||||||
17 | committing the offense. The rules of evidence
shall be the same | ||||||
18 | as if at trial. If after the hearing the court finds that
the | ||||||
19 | minor should be sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code | ||||||
20 | of
Corrections, then the court shall sentence the minor | ||||||
21 | accordingly having
available to it any or all dispositions so | ||||||
22 | prescribed.
| ||||||
23 | (5)(a) The definition of delinquent minor under Section | ||||||
24 | 5-120 of this
Article
shall not apply to any minor who is | ||||||
25 | charged with a violation of subsection (a)
of Section 31-6 or | ||||||
26 | Section 32-10 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of 2012 when the minor is
subject to prosecution under the | ||||||
2 | criminal laws of this State as a result of the
application of | ||||||
3 | the provisions of Section 5-125, or subsection (1) or (2) of
| ||||||
4 | this Section. These charges and all other charges arising out | ||||||
5 | of the same
incident shall be prosecuted under the criminal | ||||||
6 | laws of this State.
| ||||||
7 | (b)(i) If before trial or plea an information or indictment | ||||||
8 | is filed that
does not charge an offense specified in paragraph | ||||||
9 | (a) of this subsection (5),
the State's Attorney may proceed on | ||||||
10 | any lesser charge or charges, but only in
Juvenile Court under | ||||||
11 | the provisions of this Article. The State's Attorney may
| ||||||
12 | proceed under the criminal laws of this State on a lesser | ||||||
13 | charge if before
trial the minor defendant knowingly and with | ||||||
14 | advice of counsel waives, in
writing, his or her right to have | ||||||
15 | the matter proceed in Juvenile Court.
| ||||||
16 | (ii) If before trial
or plea an information or indictment | ||||||
17 | is filed that includes one or more charges
specified in | ||||||
18 | paragraph (a) of this subsection (5) and additional charges | ||||||
19 | that
are not specified in that paragraph, all of
the charges | ||||||
20 | arising out of the same incident shall be prosecuted under the
| ||||||
21 | criminal laws of this State.
| ||||||
22 | (c)(i) If after trial or plea the minor is convicted of any | ||||||
23 | offense
covered
by paragraph (a) of this subsection (5), then, | ||||||
24 | in sentencing the minor, the
court shall have available any or | ||||||
25 | all dispositions prescribed for that offense
under Chapter V of | ||||||
26 | the Unified Code of Corrections.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (ii) If after trial or
plea the court finds that the minor | ||||||
2 | committed an offense not covered by
paragraph (a) of
this | ||||||
3 | subsection (5), the conviction shall not invalidate the verdict | ||||||
4 | or the
prosecution of the minor under the criminal laws of this | ||||||
5 | State; however,
unless the State requests a hearing for the
| ||||||
6 | purpose of sentencing the minor under Chapter V of the Unified | ||||||
7 | Code of
Corrections, the Court must proceed under Sections | ||||||
8 | 5-705 and 5-710 of this
Article.
To request a hearing, the | ||||||
9 | State must file a written motion within 10 days
following the | ||||||
10 | entry of a finding or the return of a verdict. Reasonable | ||||||
11 | notice
of the motion shall be given to the minor or his or her | ||||||
12 | counsel. If the motion
is made by the State, the court shall | ||||||
13 | conduct a hearing to determine if whether
the minor should be | ||||||
14 | sentenced under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
Corrections. | ||||||
15 | In making its determination, the court shall consider among | ||||||
16 | other
matters: (a) whether there is evidence that the offense | ||||||
17 | was committed in an
aggressive and premeditated manner; (b) the | ||||||
18 | age of the minor; (c) the previous
delinquent history of the | ||||||
19 | minor; (d) whether there are facilities particularly
available | ||||||
20 | to the Juvenile Court or the Department of Juvenile Justice for | ||||||
21 | the treatment and rehabilitation of the minor; (e) whether
the | ||||||
22 | security of the public requires sentencing under Chapter V of | ||||||
23 | the Unified
Code of Corrections; and (f) whether the minor | ||||||
24 | possessed a deadly weapon when
committing the offense. The | ||||||
25 | rules of evidence shall be the same as if at
trial. If after | ||||||
26 | the hearing the court finds that the minor should be sentenced
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections, then the | ||||||
2 | court shall
sentence the minor accordingly having available to | ||||||
3 | it any or all dispositions
so prescribed.
| ||||||
4 | (6) The definition of delinquent minor under Section 5-120 | ||||||
5 | of this Article
shall not apply to any minor who, pursuant to | ||||||
6 | subsection (1) or (3) or
Section 5-805 or 5-810, has previously | ||||||
7 | been placed under the jurisdiction of
the criminal court and | ||||||
8 | has been convicted of a crime under an adult criminal or
penal | ||||||
9 | statute. Such a minor shall be subject to prosecution under the | ||||||
10 | criminal
laws of this State.
| ||||||
11 | (7) The procedures set out in this Article for the | ||||||
12 | investigation, arrest and
prosecution of juvenile offenders | ||||||
13 | shall not apply to minors who are excluded
from jurisdiction of | ||||||
14 | the Juvenile Court, except that minors under 18 years of
age | ||||||
15 | shall be kept separate from confined adults.
| ||||||
16 | (8) Nothing in this Act prohibits or limits the prosecution | ||||||
17 | of any
minor for an offense committed on or after his or her | ||||||
18 | 18th birthday even though
he or she is at the time of the | ||||||
19 | offense a ward of the court.
| ||||||
20 | (9) If an original petition for adjudication of wardship | ||||||
21 | alleges the
commission by a minor 13 years of age or
over of an | ||||||
22 | act that constitutes a crime under the laws of this State,
the | ||||||
23 | minor, with the consent of his or her counsel, may, at any time | ||||||
24 | before
commencement of the adjudicatory hearing, file with the | ||||||
25 | court a motion
that criminal prosecution be ordered and that | ||||||
26 | the petition be dismissed
insofar as the act or acts involved |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in the criminal proceedings are
concerned. If such a motion is | ||||||
2 | filed as herein provided, the court shall
enter its order | ||||||
3 | accordingly.
| ||||||
4 | (10) If, prior to August 12, 2005 (the effective date of | ||||||
5 | Public Act 94-574), a minor is charged with a violation of | ||||||
6 | Section 401 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act under the | ||||||
7 | criminal laws of this State, other than a minor charged with a | ||||||
8 | Class X felony violation of the
Illinois Controlled
Substances | ||||||
9 | Act or the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection | ||||||
10 | Act, any party including the minor or the court sua sponte
may, | ||||||
11 | before trial,
move for a hearing for the purpose of trying and | ||||||
12 | sentencing the minor as
a delinquent minor. To request a | ||||||
13 | hearing, the party must file a motion
prior to trial. | ||||||
14 | Reasonable notice of the motion shall be given to all
parties. | ||||||
15 | On its own motion or upon the filing of a motion by one of the
| ||||||
16 | parties including the minor, the court shall conduct a hearing | ||||||
17 | to
determine whether the minor should be tried and sentenced as | ||||||
18 | a
delinquent minor under this Article. In making its | ||||||
19 | determination, the
court shall consider among other matters:
| ||||||
20 | (a) The age of the minor;
| ||||||
21 | (b) Any previous delinquent or criminal history of the | ||||||
22 | minor;
| ||||||
23 | (c) Any previous abuse or neglect history of the minor;
| ||||||
24 | (d) Any mental health or educational history of the | ||||||
25 | minor, or both; and
| ||||||
26 | (e) Whether there is probable cause to support the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | charge, whether
the minor is charged through | ||||||
2 | accountability, and whether there is
evidence the minor | ||||||
3 | possessed a deadly weapon or caused serious
bodily harm | ||||||
4 | during the offense.
| ||||||
5 | Any material that is relevant and reliable shall be | ||||||
6 | admissible at the
hearing. In
all cases, the judge shall enter | ||||||
7 | an order permitting prosecution
under the criminal laws of | ||||||
8 | Illinois unless the judge makes a finding
based on a | ||||||
9 | preponderance of the evidence that the minor would be
amenable | ||||||
10 | to the care, treatment, and training programs available
through | ||||||
11 | the facilities of the juvenile court based on an evaluation of
| ||||||
12 | the factors listed in this subsection (10).
| ||||||
13 | (11) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61 | ||||||
14 | this amendatory Act of
the 98th General Assembly apply to a | ||||||
15 | minor who has been
arrested or taken into custody on or after | ||||||
16 | January 1, 2014 ( the effective date
of Public Act 98-61) this | ||||||
17 | amendatory Act . | ||||||
18 | (Source: P.A. 97-1150, eff. 1-25-13; 98-61, eff. 1-1-14; | ||||||
19 | revised 11-22-13.)
| ||||||
20 | (705 ILCS 405/5-401.5)
| ||||||
21 | Sec. 5-401.5. When statements by minor may be used.
| ||||||
22 | (a) In this Section, "custodial interrogation" means any | ||||||
23 | interrogation
(i) during which a reasonable person in the | ||||||
24 | subject's position
would consider himself or herself to be in | ||||||
25 | custody and (ii) during which
a
question is asked that is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating
response.
| ||||||
2 | In this Section, "electronic recording" includes motion | ||||||
3 | picture,
audiotape, videotape, or digital recording.
| ||||||
4 | In this Section, "place of detention" means a building
or a | ||||||
5 | police station that is a place of operation for a municipal | ||||||
6 | police
department or county sheriff department or other law | ||||||
7 | enforcement agency
at which persons are or may be held in | ||||||
8 | detention in
connection with criminal charges against those | ||||||
9 | persons or allegations that
those
persons are delinquent | ||||||
10 | minors.
| ||||||
11 | (b) An oral, written, or sign language statement of a minor | ||||||
12 | who, at the time
of the
commission of the offense was under the | ||||||
13 | age of 18
years, made as a
result of a custodial interrogation | ||||||
14 | conducted at a police station or other
place of detention on or | ||||||
15 | after
the effective date of
this amendatory Act of the 93rd | ||||||
16 | General Assembly shall be presumed to be
inadmissible as | ||||||
17 | evidence against the
minor in
any criminal proceeding or | ||||||
18 | juvenile court proceeding,
for an act that if committed by an | ||||||
19 | adult would be
brought under Section 9-1, 9-1.2, 9-2, 9-2.1, | ||||||
20 | 9-3, 9-3.2, or 9-3.3,
of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
21 | Criminal Code of 2012,
or under clause (d)(1)(F) of Section | ||||||
22 | 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
unless:
| ||||||
23 | (1) an electronic recording
is made of the custodial | ||||||
24 | interrogation; and
| ||||||
25 | (2) the recording is substantially accurate and not | ||||||
26 | intentionally altered.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b-5) Under the following circumstances, an oral, written, | ||||||
2 | or sign language statement of a minor who, at the time
of the
| ||||||
3 | commission of the offense was under the age of 17
years, made | ||||||
4 | as a result of a custodial interrogation conducted at a police | ||||||
5 | station or other place of detention shall be presumed to be | ||||||
6 | inadmissible as evidence against the minor, unless an | ||||||
7 | electronic recording is made of the custodial interrogation and | ||||||
8 | the recording is substantially accurate and not intentionally | ||||||
9 | altered: | ||||||
10 | (1) in any criminal proceeding or juvenile court | ||||||
11 | proceeding, for an act that if committed by an adult would | ||||||
12 | be brought under Section 11-1.40 or 20-1.1 of the Criminal | ||||||
13 | Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, if the custodial | ||||||
14 | interrogation was conducted on or after June 1, 2014; | ||||||
15 | (2) in any criminal proceeding or juvenile court | ||||||
16 | proceeding, for an act that if committed by an adult would | ||||||
17 | be brought under Section 10-2, 18-4, or 19-6 of the | ||||||
18 | Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, if the | ||||||
19 | custodial interrogation was conducted on or after June 1, | ||||||
20 | 2015; and | ||||||
21 | (3) in any criminal proceeding or juvenile court | ||||||
22 | proceeding, for an act that if committed by an adult would | ||||||
23 | be brought under Section 11-1.30 or 18-2 or subsection (e) | ||||||
24 | of Section 12-3.05 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the | ||||||
25 | Criminal Code of 2012, if the custodial interrogation was | ||||||
26 | conducted on or after June 1, 2016. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b-10) If, during the course of an electronically recorded | ||||||
2 | custodial interrogation conducted under this Section of a minor | ||||||
3 | who, at the time
of the
commission of the offense was under the | ||||||
4 | age of 17
years, the minor makes a statement that creates a | ||||||
5 | reasonable suspicion to believe the minor has committed an act | ||||||
6 | that if committed by an adult would be an offense other than an | ||||||
7 | offense required to be recorded under subsection (b) or (b-5), | ||||||
8 | the interrogators may, without the minor's consent, continue to | ||||||
9 | record the interrogation as it relates to the other offense | ||||||
10 | notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary. Any oral, | ||||||
11 | written, or sign language statement of a minor made as a result | ||||||
12 | of an interrogation under this subsection shall be presumed to | ||||||
13 | be inadmissible as evidence against the minor in any criminal | ||||||
14 | proceeding or juvenile court proceeding, unless the recording | ||||||
15 | is substantially accurate and not intentionally altered. | ||||||
16 | (c) Every electronic recording made under this Section
must | ||||||
17 | be preserved
until such time as the
minor's adjudication
for | ||||||
18 | any
offense relating to the statement is final and all direct | ||||||
19 | and habeas corpus
appeals are
exhausted,
or the prosecution of | ||||||
20 | such offenses is barred by law.
| ||||||
21 | (d) If the court finds, by a preponderance of the evidence, | ||||||
22 | that the
minor
was
subjected to a custodial interrogation in | ||||||
23 | violation of this Section,
then any statements made
by the
| ||||||
24 | minor during or following that non-recorded custodial | ||||||
25 | interrogation, even
if
otherwise in compliance with this | ||||||
26 | Section, are presumed to be inadmissible in
any criminal
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | proceeding or juvenile court proceeding against the minor | ||||||
2 | except for the
purposes of impeachment.
| ||||||
3 | (e) Nothing in this Section precludes the admission (i) of | ||||||
4 | a statement made
by the
minor in open court in any criminal | ||||||
5 | proceeding or juvenile court proceeding,
before a grand jury, | ||||||
6 | or
at a
preliminary hearing,
(ii) of a
statement made during a
| ||||||
7 | custodial interrogation that was not recorded as required by
| ||||||
8 | this
Section because electronic recording was not feasible, | ||||||
9 | (iii) of a
voluntary
statement,
whether or not the result of a | ||||||
10 | custodial interrogation, that has a bearing on
the
credibility | ||||||
11 | of the accused as a witness, (iv)
of a spontaneous statement
| ||||||
12 | that is not made in response to a question,
(v) of a statement | ||||||
13 | made after questioning that is routinely
asked during the | ||||||
14 | processing of the arrest of the suspect, (vi) of a statement
| ||||||
15 | made during a custodial interrogation by a suspect who | ||||||
16 | requests, prior to
making
the statement, to respond to the
| ||||||
17 | interrogator's questions only if
an electronic recording is not | ||||||
18 | made of the statement, provided that an
electronic
recording is | ||||||
19 | made of the statement of agreeing to respond to
the | ||||||
20 | interrogator's question, only if a recording is not made of the | ||||||
21 | statement,
(vii)
of a statement made
during a custodial
| ||||||
22 | interrogation that is conducted out-of-state,
(viii)
of a
| ||||||
23 | statement given in violation of subsection (b) at a time when | ||||||
24 | the interrogators are unaware that a death
has in fact | ||||||
25 | occurred, (ix) of a statement given in violation of subsection | ||||||
26 | (b-5) at a time when the interrogators are unaware of facts and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | circumstances that would create probable cause to believe that | ||||||
2 | the minor committed an act that if committed by an adult would | ||||||
3 | be an offense required to be recorded under subsection (b-5), | ||||||
4 | or (x) of any
other statement that may be admissible under law. | ||||||
5 | The State shall bear the
burden of proving, by a preponderance | ||||||
6 | of the evidence, that one of the
exceptions described in this | ||||||
7 | subsection (e) is applicable. Nothing in this
Section precludes | ||||||
8 | the admission of a statement, otherwise inadmissible under
this | ||||||
9 | Section, that is used only for impeachment and not as | ||||||
10 | substantive
evidence.
| ||||||
11 | (f) The presumption of inadmissibility of a statement made | ||||||
12 | by a suspect at
a custodial interrogation at a police station | ||||||
13 | or other place of detention may
be overcome by a preponderance | ||||||
14 | of the evidence
that
the statement was voluntarily given and is | ||||||
15 | reliable, based on the totality of
the
circumstances.
| ||||||
16 | (g) Any electronic recording of any statement made by a | ||||||
17 | minor during a
custodial interrogation that is compiled by any | ||||||
18 | law enforcement agency as
required by this Section for the | ||||||
19 | purposes of fulfilling the requirements of
this
Section shall | ||||||
20 | be confidential and exempt from public inspection and copying, | ||||||
21 | as
provided under Section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act, | ||||||
22 | and the information
shall not be transmitted to anyone except | ||||||
23 | as needed to comply with this
Section.
| ||||||
24 | (h) A statement, admission, confession, or incriminating | ||||||
25 | information made by or obtained from a minor related to the | ||||||
26 | instant offense, as part of any behavioral health screening, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | assessment, evaluation, or treatment, whether or not | ||||||
2 | court-ordered, shall not be admissible as evidence against the | ||||||

| ||||||
17 | (1) Any minor arrested or taken into custody pursuant to | ||||||

20 | care in a foster family home or other
shelter facility | ||||||
21 | designated by the court.
| ||||||
22 | (2) (a) Any minor 10 years of age or older arrested
| ||||||
23 | pursuant to this Act where there is probable cause to believe | ||||||
24 | that the minor
is a delinquent minor and that
(i) secured | ||||||
25 | custody is a matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | protection of the minor or of the person or property of | ||||||
2 | another, (ii) the minor
is likely to flee the jurisdiction of | ||||||
3 | the court, or (iii) the minor was taken
into custody under a | ||||||
4 | warrant, may be kept or detained in an authorized
detention | ||||||
5 | facility. No minor under 12 years of age shall be detained in a
| ||||||
6 | county jail or a municipal lockup for more than 6 hours.
| ||||||
7 | (b) The written authorization of the probation officer or | ||||||
8 | detention officer
(or other public officer designated by the | ||||||
9 | court in a county having
3,000,000 or more inhabitants) | ||||||
10 | constitutes authority for the superintendent of
any juvenile | ||||||
11 | detention home to detain and keep a minor for up to 40 hours,
| ||||||
12 | excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court-designated holidays. | ||||||
13 | These
records shall be available to the same persons and | ||||||
14 | pursuant to the same
conditions as are law enforcement records | ||||||
15 | as provided in Section 5-905.
| ||||||
16 | (b-4) The consultation required by subsection (b-5) shall | ||||||
17 | not be applicable
if the probation officer or detention officer | ||||||
18 | (or other public officer
designated
by the court in a
county | ||||||
19 | having 3,000,000 or more inhabitants) utilizes a scorable | ||||||
20 | detention
screening instrument, which has been developed with | ||||||
21 | input by the State's
Attorney, to
determine whether a minor | ||||||
22 | should be detained, however, subsection (b-5) shall
still be | ||||||
23 | applicable where no such screening instrument is used or where | ||||||
24 | the
probation officer, detention officer (or other public | ||||||
25 | officer designated by the
court in a county
having 3,000,000 or | ||||||
26 | more inhabitants) deviates from the screening instrument.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b-5) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b-4), if a | ||||||
2 | probation officer
or detention officer
(or other public officer | ||||||
3 | designated by
the court in a county having 3,000,000 or more | ||||||
4 | inhabitants) does not intend to
detain a minor for an offense | ||||||
5 | which constitutes one of the following offenses
he or she shall | ||||||

12 | battery involving
permanent disability or disfigurement or | ||||||
13 | great bodily harm, robbery, aggravated
robbery, armed robbery, | ||||||
14 | vehicular hijacking, aggravated vehicular hijacking,
vehicular | ||||||
15 | invasion, arson, aggravated arson, kidnapping, aggravated | ||||||
16 | kidnapping,

| ||||||
17 | (c) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a), (d), or | ||||||
18 | (e), no minor
shall
be detained in a county jail or municipal | ||||||
19 | lockup for more than 12 hours, unless
the offense is a crime of | ||||||
20 | violence in which case the minor may be detained up
to 24 | ||||||
21 | hours. For the purpose of this paragraph, "crime of violence" | ||||||
22 | has the
meaning
ascribed to it in Section 1-10 of the | ||||||
23 | Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and
Dependency Act.
| ||||||
24 | (i) The
period of detention is deemed to have begun | ||||||
25 | once the minor has been placed in a
locked room or cell or | ||||||
26 | handcuffed to a stationary object in a building housing
a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | county jail or municipal lockup. Time spent transporting a | ||||||
2 | minor is not
considered to be time in detention or secure | ||||||
3 | custody.
| ||||||
4 | (ii) Any minor so
confined shall be under periodic | ||||||
5 | supervision and shall not be permitted to come
into or | ||||||
6 | remain in contact with adults in custody in the building.
| ||||||
7 | (iii) Upon
placement in secure custody in a jail or | ||||||
8 | lockup, the
minor shall be informed of the purpose of the | ||||||
9 | detention, the time it is
expected to last and the fact | ||||||
10 | that it cannot exceed the time specified under
this Act.
| ||||||
11 | (iv) A log shall
be kept which shows the offense which | ||||||
12 | is the basis for the detention, the
reasons and | ||||||
13 | circumstances for the decision to detain and the length of | ||||||
14 | time the
minor was in detention.
| ||||||
15 | (v) Violation of the time limit on detention
in a | ||||||
16 | county jail or municipal lockup shall not, in and of | ||||||
17 | itself, render
inadmissible evidence obtained as a result | ||||||
18 | of the violation of this
time limit. Minors under 18 years | ||||||
19 | of age shall be kept separate from confined
adults and may | ||||||
20 | not at any time be kept in the same cell, room or yard with
| ||||||
21 | adults confined pursuant to criminal law. Persons 18 years | ||||||
22 | of age and older
who have a petition of delinquency filed | ||||||
23 | against them may be
confined in an
adult detention | ||||||
24 | facility.
In making a determination whether to confine a | ||||||
25 | person 18 years of age or
older
who has a petition of | ||||||
26 | delinquency filed against the person, these factors,
among |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | other matters, shall be considered:
| ||||||
2 | (A) The age of the person;
| ||||||
3 | (B) Any previous delinquent or criminal history of | ||||||
4 | the person;
| ||||||
5 | (C) Any previous abuse or neglect history of the | ||||||
6 | person; and
| ||||||
7 | (D) Any mental health or educational history of the | ||||||
8 | person, or both.
| ||||||
9 | (d) (i) If a minor 12 years of age or older is confined in a | ||||||
10 | county jail
in a
county with a population below 3,000,000 | ||||||
11 | inhabitants, then the minor's
confinement shall be implemented | ||||||
12 | in such a manner that there will be no contact
by sight, sound | ||||||
13 | or otherwise between the minor and adult prisoners. Minors
12 | ||||||
14 | years of age or older must be kept separate from confined | ||||||
15 | adults and may not
at any time
be kept in the same cell, room, | ||||||
16 | or yard with confined adults. This paragraph
(d)(i) shall only | ||||||
17 | apply to confinement pending an adjudicatory hearing and
shall | ||||||
18 | not exceed 40 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and court | ||||||
19 | designated
holidays. To accept or hold minors during this time | ||||||
20 | period, county jails shall
comply with all monitoring standards | ||||||
21 | promulgated by the Department of
Corrections and training | ||||||
22 | standards approved by the Illinois Law Enforcement
Training | ||||||
23 | Standards Board.
| ||||||
24 | (ii) To accept or hold minors, 12 years of age or older, | ||||||
25 | after the time
period
prescribed in paragraph (d)(i) of this | ||||||
26 | subsection (2) of this Section but not
exceeding 7 days |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays pending an
| ||||||
2 | adjudicatory hearing, county jails shall comply with all | ||||||
3 | temporary detention
standards promulgated by the Department of | ||||||
4 | Corrections and training standards
approved by the Illinois Law | ||||||
5 | Enforcement Training Standards Board.
| ||||||
6 | (iii) To accept or hold minors 12 years of age or older, | ||||||
7 | after the time
period prescribed in paragraphs (d)(i) and | ||||||
8 | (d)(ii) of this subsection (2) of
this
Section, county jails | ||||||
9 | shall comply with all programmatic and training standards
for | ||||||
10 | juvenile detention homes promulgated by the Department of | ||||||
11 | Corrections.
| ||||||
12 | (e) When a minor who is at least 15 years of age is | ||||||
13 | prosecuted under the
criminal laws of this State,
the court may | ||||||
14 | enter an order directing that the juvenile be confined
in the | ||||||
15 | county jail. However, any juvenile confined in the county jail | ||||||
16 | under
this provision shall be separated from adults who are | ||||||
17 | confined in the county
jail in such a manner that there will be | ||||||
18 | no contact by sight, sound or
otherwise between the juvenile | ||||||
19 | and adult prisoners.
| ||||||
20 | (f) For purposes of appearing in a physical lineup, the | ||||||
21 | minor may be taken
to a county jail or municipal lockup under | ||||||
22 | the direct and constant supervision
of a juvenile police | ||||||
23 | officer. During such time as is necessary to conduct a
lineup, | ||||||
24 | and while supervised by a juvenile police officer, the sight | ||||||
25 | and sound
separation provisions shall not apply.
| ||||||
26 | (g) For purposes of processing a minor, the minor may be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | taken to a County
Jail or municipal lockup under the direct and | ||||||
2 | constant supervision of a law
enforcement officer or | ||||||
3 | correctional officer. During such time as is necessary
to | ||||||
4 | process the minor, and while supervised by a law enforcement | ||||||
5 | officer or
correctional officer, the sight and sound separation | ||||||
6 | provisions shall not
apply.
| ||||||
7 | (3) If the probation officer or State's Attorney (or such | ||||||
8 | other public
officer designated by the court in a county having | ||||||
9 | 3,000,000 or more
inhabitants) determines that the minor may be | ||||||
10 | a delinquent minor as described
in subsection (3) of Section | ||||||
11 | 5-105, and should be retained in custody but does
not require
| ||||||
12 | physical restriction, the minor may be placed in non-secure | ||||||
13 | custody for up to
40 hours pending a detention hearing.
| ||||||
14 | (4) Any minor taken into temporary custody, not requiring | ||||||
15 | secure
detention, may, however, be detained in the home of his | ||||||
16 | or her parent or
guardian subject to such conditions as the | ||||||
17 | court may impose.
| ||||||
18 | (5) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61 | ||||||
19 | this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly apply to a | ||||||
20 | minor who has been arrested or taken into custody on or after | ||||||

8 | school official or officials to protect the safety of | ||||||
9 | students and employees in the school and aid in the | ||||||
10 | proper rehabilitation of the child. The information | ||||||
11 | derived orally from the local law enforcement | ||||||
12 | officials shall be kept separate from and shall not | ||||||
13 | become a part of the official school record of the | ||||||
14 | child and shall not be a public record. This limitation | ||||||

20 | the minor. For purposes of this paragraph, | ||||||
21 | "investigation" means an official systematic inquiry | ||||||
22 | by a law enforcement agency into actual or suspected | ||||||
23 | criminal activity;
| ||||||
24 | (i) The president of a park district. Inspection and | ||||||

8 | (2) Information identifying victims and alleged victims of | ||||||
9 | sex offenses,
shall not be disclosed or open to public | ||||||
10 | inspection under any circumstances.
Nothing in this Section | ||||||
11 | shall prohibit the victim or alleged victim of any sex
offense | ||||||
12 | from voluntarily disclosing his or her identity.
| ||||||
13 | (2.5) If the minor is a victim of aggravated battery, | ||||||
14 | battery, attempted first degree murder, or other non-sexual | ||||||
15 | violent offense, the identity of the victim may be disclosed to | ||||||
16 | appropriate school officials, for the purpose of preventing | ||||||
17 | foreseeable future violence involving minors, by a local law | ||||||
18 | enforcement agency pursuant to an agreement established | ||||||

20 | subject to the approval by the presiding judge of the juvenile | ||||||
21 | court. | ||||||
22 | (3) Relevant information, reports and records shall be made | ||||||

Department of Juvenile Justice when a juvenile | ||||||
24 | offender has been placed in the

25 | Juvenile Justice.
| ||||||
26 | (4) Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the inspection |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or disclosure to
victims and witnesses of photographs contained | ||||||
2 | in the records of law
enforcement agencies when the inspection | ||||||
3 | or disclosure is conducted in the
presence of a law enforcement | ||||||
4 | officer for purposes of identification or
apprehension of any | ||||||
5 | person in the course of any criminal investigation or
| ||||||
6 | prosecution.
| ||||||
7 | (5) The records of law enforcement officers, or of an | ||||||
8 | independent agency created by ordinance and charged by a unit | ||||||
9 | of local government with the duty of investigating the conduct | ||||||
10 | of law enforcement officers, concerning all minors under
18 | ||||||
11 | years of age must be maintained separate from the records of | ||||||
12 | adults and
may not be open to public inspection or their | ||||||
13 | contents disclosed to the
public except by order of the court | ||||||
14 | or when the institution of criminal
proceedings has been | ||||||
15 | permitted under Section 5-130 or 5-805 or required
under | ||||||
16 | Section
5-130 or 5-805 or such a person has been convicted of a | ||||||
17 | crime and is the
subject of
pre-sentence investigation or when | ||||||
18 | provided by law.
| ||||||
19 | (6) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (6), | ||||||
20 | law enforcement
officers, and personnel of an independent | ||||||
21 | agency created by ordinance and charged by a unit of local | ||||||
22 | government with the duty of investigating the conduct of law | ||||||
23 | enforcement officers, may not disclose the identity of any | ||||||
24 | minor
in releasing information to the general public as to the | ||||||
25 | arrest, investigation
or disposition of any case involving a | ||||||
26 | minor.
Any victim or parent or legal guardian of a victim may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | petition the court to
disclose the name and address of the | ||||||
2 | minor and the minor's parents or legal
guardian, or both. Upon | ||||||
3 | a finding by clear and convincing evidence that the
disclosure | ||||||
4 | is either necessary for the victim to pursue a civil remedy | ||||||
5 | against
the minor or the minor's parents or legal guardian, or | ||||||
6 | both, or to protect the
victim's person or property from the | ||||||
7 | minor, then the court may order the
disclosure of the | ||||||
8 | information to the victim or to the parent or legal guardian
of | ||||||
9 | the victim only for the purpose of the victim pursuing a civil | ||||||
10 | remedy
against the minor or the minor's parents or legal | ||||||
11 | guardian, or both, or to
protect the victim's person or | ||||||
12 | property from the minor.
| ||||||
13 | (7) Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit law | ||||||
14 | enforcement
agencies when acting in their official capacity | ||||||
15 | from communicating with each
other by letter, memorandum, | ||||||
16 | teletype or
intelligence alert bulletin or other means the | ||||||
17 | identity or other relevant
information pertaining to a person | ||||||
18 | under 18 years of age. The information
provided under this | ||||||
19 | subsection (7) shall remain confidential and shall not
be | ||||||
20 | publicly disclosed, except as otherwise allowed by law.
| ||||||
21 | (8) No person shall disclose information under this Section | ||||||
22 | except when
acting in his or her official capacity and as | ||||||
23 | provided by law or order of
court.
| ||||||
24 | (9) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61 | ||||||
25 | this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly apply to law | ||||||
26 | enforcement records of a minor who has been arrested or taken |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | into custody on or after January 1, 2014 ( the effective date of | ||||||
2 | Public Act 98-61) this amendatory Act . | ||||||

5 | (705 ILCS 405/5-915)
| ||||||
6 | Sec. 5-915. Expungement of juvenile law enforcement and | ||||||
7 | court records.
| ||||||
8 | (0.05) For purposes of this Section and Section 5-622: | ||||||
9 | "Expunge" means to physically destroy the records and | ||||||
10 | to obliterate the minor's name from any official index or | ||||||
11 | public record, or both. Nothing in this Act shall require | ||||||
12 | the physical destruction of the internal office records, | ||||||
13 | files, or databases maintained by a State's Attorney's | ||||||
14 | Office or other prosecutor. | ||||||
15 | "Law enforcement record" includes but is not limited to | ||||||
16 | records of arrest, station adjustments, fingerprints, | ||||||
17 | probation adjustments, the issuance of a notice to appear, | ||||||
18 | or any other records maintained by a law enforcement agency | ||||||
19 | relating to a minor suspected of committing an offense. | ||||||
20 | (1) Whenever any person has attained the age of 18 or | ||||||
21 | whenever all juvenile
court proceedings relating to that person | ||||||
22 | have been terminated, whichever is
later, the person may | ||||||
23 | petition the court to expunge law enforcement records
relating | ||||||
24 | to incidents occurring before his or her 18th birthday or his | ||||||
25 | or her
juvenile court
records, or both, but only in the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | following circumstances:
| ||||||
2 | (a) the minor was arrested and no petition for | ||||||
3 | delinquency was filed with
the clerk of the circuit court; | ||||||
4 | or
| ||||||
5 | (b) the minor was charged with an offense and was found | ||||||
6 | not delinquent of
that offense; or
| ||||||
7 | (c) the minor was placed under supervision pursuant to | ||||||
8 | Section 5-615, and
the order of
supervision has since been | ||||||
9 | successfully terminated; or
| ||||||
10 | (d)
the minor was adjudicated for an offense which | ||||||
11 | would be a Class B
misdemeanor, Class C misdemeanor, or a | ||||||
12 | petty or business offense if committed by an adult.
| ||||||
13 | (2) Any person may petition the court to expunge all law | ||||||
14 | enforcement records
relating to any
incidents occurring before | ||||||
15 | his or her 18th birthday which did not result in
proceedings in | ||||||
16 | criminal court and all juvenile court records with respect to
| ||||||
17 | any adjudications except those based upon first degree
murder | ||||||
18 | and
sex offenses which would be felonies if committed by an | ||||||
19 | adult, if the person
for whom expungement is sought has had no
| ||||||
20 | convictions for any crime since his or her 18th birthday and:
| ||||||
21 | (a) has attained the age of 21 years; or
| ||||||
22 | (b) 5 years have elapsed since all juvenile court | ||||||
23 | proceedings relating to
him or her have been terminated or | ||||||
24 | his or her commitment to the Department of
Juvenile Justice
| ||||||
25 | pursuant to this Act has been terminated;
| ||||||
26 | whichever is later of (a) or (b). Nothing in this Section 5-915 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | precludes a minor from obtaining expungement under Section | ||||||
2 | 5-622. | ||||||
3 | (2.5) If a minor is arrested and no petition for | ||||||
4 | delinquency is filed with the clerk of the circuit court as | ||||||
5 | provided in paragraph (a) of subsection (1) at the time the | ||||||
6 | minor is released from custody, the youth officer, if | ||||||
7 | applicable, or other designated person from the arresting | ||||||
8 | agency, shall notify verbally and in writing to the minor or | ||||||
9 | the minor's parents or guardians that if the State's Attorney | ||||||
10 | does not file a petition for delinquency, the minor has a right | ||||||
11 | to petition to have his or her arrest record expunged when the | ||||||
12 | minor attains the age of 18 or when all juvenile court | ||||||
13 | proceedings relating to that minor have been terminated and | ||||||
14 | that unless a petition to expunge is filed, the minor shall | ||||||
15 | have an arrest record and shall provide the minor and the | ||||||
16 | minor's parents or guardians with an expungement information | ||||||
17 | packet, including a petition to expunge juvenile records | ||||||
18 | obtained from the clerk of the circuit court. | ||||||
19 | (2.6) If a minor is charged with an offense and is found | ||||||
20 | not delinquent of that offense; or if a minor is placed under | ||||||
21 | supervision under Section 5-615, and the order of supervision | ||||||
22 | is successfully terminated; or if a minor is adjudicated for an | ||||||
23 | offense that would be a Class B misdemeanor, a Class C | ||||||
24 | misdemeanor, or a business or petty offense if committed by an | ||||||
25 | adult; or if a minor has incidents occurring before his or her | ||||||
26 | 18th birthday that have not resulted in proceedings in criminal |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | court, or resulted in proceedings in juvenile court, and the | ||||||
2 | adjudications were not based upon first degree murder or sex | ||||||
3 | offenses that would be felonies if committed by an adult; then | ||||||
4 | at the time of sentencing or dismissal of the case, the judge | ||||||
5 | shall inform the delinquent minor of his or her right to | ||||||
6 | petition for expungement as provided by law, and the clerk of | ||||||
7 | the circuit court shall provide an expungement information | ||||||
8 | packet to the delinquent minor, written in plain language, | ||||||
9 | including a petition for expungement, a sample of a completed | ||||||
10 | petition, expungement instructions that shall include | ||||||
11 | information informing the minor that (i) once the case is | ||||||
12 | expunged, it shall be treated as if it never occurred, (ii) he | ||||||
13 | or she may apply to have petition fees waived, (iii) once he or | ||||||
14 | she obtains an expungement, he or she may not be required to | ||||||
15 | disclose that he or she had a juvenile record, and (iv) he or | ||||||
16 | she may file the petition on his or her own or with the | ||||||
17 | assistance of an attorney. The failure of the judge to inform | ||||||
18 | the delinquent minor of his or her right to petition for | ||||||
19 | expungement as provided by law does not create a substantive | ||||||
20 | right, nor is that failure grounds for: (i) a reversal of an | ||||||
21 | adjudication of delinquency, (ii) a new trial; or (iii) an | ||||||
22 | appeal. | ||||||
23 | (2.7) For counties with a population over 3,000,000, the | ||||||
24 | clerk of the circuit court shall send a "Notification of a | ||||||
25 | Possible Right to Expungement" post card to the minor at the | ||||||
26 | address last received by the clerk of the circuit court on the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | date that the minor attains the age of 18 based on the | ||||||
2 | birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or her | ||||||
3 | guardian in cases under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of | ||||||
4 | subsection (1); and when the minor attains the age of 21 based | ||||||
5 | on the birthdate provided to the court by the minor or his or | ||||||
6 | her guardian in cases under subsection (2). | ||||||
7 | (2.8) The petition for expungement for subsection (1) shall | ||||||
8 | be substantially in the following form: | ||||||

| ||||||
16 | (b) The State Appellate Defender shall develop brochures, | ||||||

Defender | ||||||
7 | shall advertise
the toll-free telephone number statewide. The | ||||||
8 | State Appellate Defender shall
develop an expungement
| ||||||
9 | information packet that may be sent to eligible persons seeking | ||||||
10 | expungement of
their juvenile records,
which may include, but | ||||||
11 | is not limited to, a pre-printed expungement petition
with | ||||||
12 | instructions on how

26 | by any private or public entity in employment matters, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | certification, licensing, revocation of certification or | ||||||
2 | licensure, or registration. Applications for employment must | ||||||
3 | contain specific language that states that the applicant is not | ||||||
4 | obligated to disclose expunged juvenile records of conviction | ||||||
5 | or arrest. Employers may not ask if an applicant has had a | ||||||
6 | juvenile record expunged. Effective January 1, 2005, the | ||||||
7 | Department of Labor shall develop a link on the Department's | ||||||
8 | website to inform employers that employers may not ask if an | ||||||
9 | applicant had a juvenile record expunged and that application | ||||||
10 | for employment must contain specific language that states that | ||||||
11 | the applicant is not obligated to disclose expunged juvenile | ||||||

14 | not entitled to remission of any fines, costs, or other money | ||||||
15 | paid as a consequence of expungement. This amendatory Act of | ||||||

18 | damages.
| ||||||
19 | (c) The expungement of juvenile records under Section 5-622 | ||||||
20 | shall be funded by the additional fine imposed under Section | ||||||
21 | 5-9-1.17 of the Unified Code of Corrections and additional | ||||||
22 | appropriations made by the General Assembly for such purpose. | ||||||
23 | (9) The changes made to Public Act 98-61 this Section by | ||||||

| ||||||
11 | (a) Upon the filing of a petition under Section 15 of this | ||||||
12 | Act,
the court shall review the petition to determine whether | ||||||
13 | to issue
an order for detention of the person who is the | ||||||
14 | subject of the
petition. The person shall be detained only if | ||||||
15 | there is cause to
believe that the person is eligible for | ||||||
16 | commitment under subsection (f) of
Section
35 of this Act. A | ||||||
17 | person detained under this Section shall be
held in a facility | ||||||
18 | approved by the Department. The Department may elect to place | ||||||
19 | persons who have been ordered by the court to be detained in a | ||||||
20 | State-operated mental health facility or a portion of that | ||||||
21 | facility. Persons placed in a State-operated mental health | ||||||
22 | facility under this Act shall be separated and shall not | ||||||
23 | comingle with the recipients of the mental health facility. The | ||||||
24 | portion of a State-operated mental health facility that is used |
| |||||||

2 | the mental health facility for the enforcement and | ||||||
3 | implementation of the Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
4 | Disabilities Code nor shall their care and treatment be subject | ||||||

7 | Act 98-79 this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly are | ||||||
8 | inoperative on and after June 30, 2015. If the person is

| ||||||
10 | Corrections correctional facility or juvenile correctional
| ||||||
11 | facility or is committed to institutional care, and the court
| ||||||
12 | orders detention under this Section, the court shall order that
| ||||||
13 | the person be transferred to a detention facility approved by | ||||||
14 | the
Department. A detention order under this Section remains in
| ||||||
15 | effect until the person is discharged after a trial under | ||||||
16 | Section
35 of this Act or until the effective date of a | ||||||
17 | commitment order
under Section 40 of this Act, whichever is | ||||||
18 | applicable.
| ||||||
19 | (b) Whenever a petition is filed under Section 15 of this | ||||||
20 | Act,
the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether there | ||||||
21 | is
probable cause to believe that the person named in the | ||||||
22 | petition is
a sexually violent person. If the person named in | ||||||
23 | the petition is
in custody, the court shall hold the probable | ||||||
24 | cause hearing within
72 hours after the petition is filed, | ||||||
25 | excluding Saturdays, Sundays
and legal holidays. The court may | ||||||
26 | grant a continuance of the probable cause
hearing for no more |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | than 7 additional days upon the motion of the respondent,
for | ||||||
2 | good cause. If the person named in the petition has been | ||||||
3 | released, is
on parole, is on aftercare release, is on | ||||||
4 | mandatory supervised release, or otherwise is not in
custody, | ||||||
5 | the court shall hold the probable cause hearing within a
| ||||||
6 | reasonable time after the filing of the petition.
At the | ||||||
7 | probable cause hearing, the court shall admit and consider all
| ||||||
8 | relevant hearsay evidence.
| ||||||
9 | (c) If the court determines after a hearing that there is
| ||||||
10 | probable cause to believe that the person named in the petition | ||||||
11 | is
a sexually violent person, the court shall order that the | ||||||
12 | person
be taken into custody if he or she is not in custody and | ||||||
13 | shall
order the person to be transferred within a reasonable | ||||||
14 | time to an
appropriate facility for an evaluation as to whether | ||||||
15 | the person is
a sexually violent person.
If the person who is | ||||||
16 | named in the petition refuses to speak to, communicate
with, or | ||||||
17 | otherwise fails to cooperate with the examining evaluator from | ||||||
18 | the
Department of Human Services or the Department of | ||||||
19 | Corrections, that person may
only introduce evidence and | ||||||
20 | testimony from any expert or professional person
who is | ||||||
21 | retained or court-appointed to conduct an examination of the | ||||||
22 | person
that results from a review of the records and may not | ||||||
23 | introduce evidence
resulting from an examination of the person.
| ||||||
24 | Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10 of
the
Mental | ||||||
25 | Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, all
| ||||||
26 | evaluations conducted pursuant to this Act and all Illinois |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department of
Corrections treatment records shall be | ||||||
2 | admissible at all proceedings held
pursuant to this Act, | ||||||
3 | including the probable cause hearing and the trial.
| ||||||
4 | If the court determines that probable
cause does not exist | ||||||
5 | to believe that the person is a sexually
violent person, the | ||||||
6 | court shall dismiss the petition.
| ||||||
7 | (d) The Department shall promulgate rules that provide the
| ||||||
8 | qualifications for persons conducting evaluations under | ||||||
9 | subsection
(c) of this Section.
| ||||||
10 | (e) If the person named in the petition claims or appears | ||||||
11 | to be
indigent, the court shall, prior to the probable cause | ||||||
12 | hearing
under subsection (b) of this Section, appoint
counsel.

21 | when
possible. A State's Attorney may petition the court to | ||||||
22 | obtain the results of
any HIV test administered under this | ||||||
23 | Section, and the court shall grant the

comply with this | ||||||
5 | subsection (j-5) upon his or her release from confinement in a
| ||||||

7 | term; however,
the inability of the defendant after making a | ||||||
8 | good faith effort to obtain
financial aid or pay for the | ||||||
9 | educational training shall not be deemed a wilful
failure to | ||||||
10 | comply. The Prisoner Review Board shall recommit the defendant
| ||||||
11 | whose mandatory supervised release term has been revoked under | ||||||
12 | this subsection
(j-5) as provided in Section 3-3-9. This | ||||||

3 | the other
individuals, occupied a position of organizer, | ||||||
4 | supervisor, financier, or any
other position of management | ||||||
5 | or leadership, and the court further finds that
the felony | ||||||
6 | committed was related to or in furtherance of the criminal
| ||||||
7 | activities of an organized gang or was motivated by the | ||||||
8 | defendant's leadership
in an organized gang; or
| ||||||
9 | (6) When a defendant is convicted of an offense | ||||||

13 | Code of
2012; or
| ||||||
14 | (7) When a defendant who was at least 17 years of age | ||||||
15 | at the
time of
the commission of the offense is convicted | ||||||
16 | of a felony and has been previously

| ||||||
2 | (9) When a defendant commits any felony and the | ||||||
3 | defendant knowingly video or audio records the offense with | ||||||
4 | the intent to disseminate the recording. | ||||||
5 | (c) The following factors may be considered by the court as | ||||||
6 | reasons to impose an extended term sentence under Section 5-8-2 | ||||||
7 | (730 ILCS 5/5-8-2) upon any offender for the listed offenses: | ||||||

20 | shall not apply to the suspension or revocation of a
license to | ||||||
21 | operate a motor vehicle under the Illinois Vehicle Code.
| ||||||
22 | (e) Upon a person's discharge from incarceration or parole, | ||||||
23 | or upon a
person's discharge from probation or at any time | ||||||

| |||||||
1 | person and be consistent with the public welfare.
Such order | ||||||
2 | may be entered upon the motion of the defendant or the State or

| ||||||
4 | (f) Upon entry of the order, the court shall issue to the | ||||||

14 | obtained a certificate of relief from disabilities, as
defined | ||||||
15 | in Article 5.5 of this Chapter, having been previously | ||||||
16 | convicted of one
or more
criminal offenses, or by reason of a | ||||||
17 | finding of lack of "good moral
character" when the finding is | ||||||
18 | based upon the fact that the applicant has
previously been | ||||||
19 | convicted of one or more criminal offenses, unless:

specific individuals or the general public.
| ||||||
26 | In making such a determination, the licensing agency shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | consider the
following factors:
| ||||||
2 | (1) the public policy of this State, as expressed in | ||||||
3 | Article 5.5 of this
Chapter, to encourage the licensure and | ||||||
4 | employment of persons previously
convicted of one or more | ||||||
5 | criminal offenses;
| ||||||
6 | (2) the specific duties and responsibilities | ||||||
7 | necessarily related to the
license being sought;
| ||||||
8 | (3) the bearing, if any, the criminal offenses or | ||||||
9 | offenses for which the
person
was previously convicted will | ||||||
10 | have on his or her fitness or ability to perform
one or
| ||||||
11 | more such duties and responsibilities;
| ||||||
12 | (4) the time which has elapsed since the occurrence of | ||||||
13 | the criminal

18 | on his or her
behalf in
regard to his or her rehabilitation | ||||||
19 | and good conduct, including a certificate
of relief from | ||||||
20 | disabilities issued to the applicant, which certificate | ||||||
21 | shall
create a presumption of rehabilitation in regard to | ||||||
22 | the offense or offenses
specified in the certificate; and
| ||||||
23 | (8) the legitimate interest of the licensing agency in | ||||||
24 | protecting
property, and
the safety and welfare of specific | ||||||
25 | individuals or the general public.
| ||||||
26 | (i) A certificate of relief from disabilities shall be |

| ||||||
4 | Section 735. The Crime Victims Compensation Act is amended | ||||||
5 | by changing Section 17 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (740 ILCS 45/17) (from Ch. 70, par. 87)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 17. (a) Subrogation. | ||||||
8 | (a) The Court of Claims may award compensation on
the | ||||||
9 | condition
that the applicant subrogate to the State his rights | ||||||
10 | to collect damages
from the assailant or any third party who | ||||||
11 | may be liable in damages to the
applicant. In such a case the | ||||||
12 | Attorney General may, on behalf of the State,
bring an action | ||||||
13 | against an assailant or third party for money damages, but must
| ||||||
14 | first notify the applicant and give him an opportunity to | ||||||
15 | participate in
the prosecution of the action. The excess of the | ||||||
16 | amount recovered in such
action over the amount of the | ||||||
17 | compensation offered and accepted or awarded
under this Act | ||||||
18 | plus costs of the action and attorneys' fees actually incurred
| ||||||
19 | shall be paid to the applicant.
| ||||||
20 | (b) Nothing in this Act affects the right of the applicant | ||||||
21 | to seek civil
damages from the assailant and any other party, | ||||||
22 | but that applicant must
give written notice to the Attorney | ||||||
23 | General within 10 days after the making of a claim or
the | ||||||
24 | filing of an action for such damages, and within 10 days after |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the conclusion of the claim or action. The applicant must | ||||||
2 | attach to the written notice a copy of the complaint, | ||||||
3 | settlement agreement, jury verdict, or judgment. Failure to | ||||||
4 | timely notify the
Attorney General of such claims and actions | ||||||
5 | is a willful omission of fact and
the applicant thereby becomes | ||||||
6 | subject to the provisions of Section 20 of this Act.
| ||||||
7 | (c) The State has a charge for the amount of compensation | ||||||
8 | paid under this
Act upon all claims or causes of action against | ||||||
9 | an assailant and
any other party to recover for the injuries or | ||||||
10 | death of a victim which were
the basis for that payment of | ||||||
11 | compensation. At the time compensation is
ordered to be paid | ||||||
12 | under this Act, the Court of Claims shall give written
notice | ||||||
13 | of this charge to the applicant. The charge attaches to any | ||||||
14 | verdict or
judgment entered and to any money or property which | ||||||
15 | is recovered
on account of the claim or cause of action against | ||||||
16 | the assailant
or any other party after the notice is given. On | ||||||
17 | petition filed by the
Attorney General on behalf of the State | ||||||
18 | or by the applicant, the circuit
court, on written notice to | ||||||
19 | all interested parties, shall adjudicate the
right of the | ||||||
20 | parties and enforce the charge. This subsection does not affect
| ||||||
21 | the priority of a lien under "AN ACT creating attorney's lien | ||||||
22 | and for
enforcement of same", filed June 16, 1909, as amended.
| ||||||
23 | Only the Court of Claims may reduce the State's lien under | ||||||
24 | this Act. The Court of Claims may consider the nature and | ||||||
25 | extent of the injury, economic loss, settlements, hospital | ||||||
26 | costs, physician costs, attorney's fees and costs, and all |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | other appropriate costs. The burden of producing evidence | ||||||
2 | sufficient to support the exercise by the Court of Claims of | ||||||
3 | its discretion to reduce the amount of a proven charge sought | ||||||
4 | to be enforced against the recovery shall rest with the party | ||||||
5 | seeking such reduction. The charges of the State described in | ||||||
6 | this Section, however, shall take priority over all other liens | ||||||
7 | and charges existing under the laws of the State of Illinois. | ||||||
8 | (d) Where compensation is awarded under this Act and the | ||||||
9 | person receiving
same also receives any sum required to be, and | ||||||
10 | that has not been deducted
under Section 10.1, he shall refund | ||||||
11 | to the State the amount of compensation
paid to him which would | ||||||
12 | have been deducted at the time the award was made.
| ||||||
13 | (e) An amount not to exceed 25% of all money recovered | ||||||
14 | under subsections
(b) or (c) of this Section shall be placed in | ||||||
15 | the Violent Crime Victims
Assistance Fund to assist with costs | ||||||
16 | related to recovery
efforts. "Recovery efforts" means those | ||||||
17 | activities that are directly
attributable to obtaining | ||||||
18 | restitution, civil suit recoveries, and
other reimbursements.
| ||||||
19 | (f) The applicant must give written notice to the Attorney | ||||||
20 | General within 10 days after an offender is ordered by a court | ||||||
21 | to pay restitution. The applicant shall attach a copy of the | ||||||
22 | restitution order or judgment to the written notice. Failure to | ||||||
23 | timely notify the Attorney General of court-ordered | ||||||
24 | restitution is a willful omission of fact and the applicant | ||||||
25 | thereby becomes subject to the provisions of Section 20 of this | ||||||
26 | Act. The Attorney General may file a written copy of the Court |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Claims' decision awarding crime victims compensation in a | ||||||
2 | criminal case in which the offender has been ordered to pay | ||||||
3 | restitution for the victim's expenses incurred as a result of | ||||||
4 | the same criminal conduct. Upon the filing of the order, the | ||||||
5 | circuit court clerk shall send restitution payments directly to | ||||||
6 | the compensation program for any paid expense reflected in the | ||||||
7 | Court of Claims' decision. | ||||||
8 | (Source: P.A. 97-817, eff. 1-1-13; revised 11-12-13.)
| ||||||
9 | Section 740. The Mental Health and Developmental | ||||||
10 | Disabilities Confidentiality Act is amended by changing | ||||||
11 | Section 12.2 as follows:
| ||||||
12 | (740 ILCS 110/12.2) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 812.2)
| ||||||
13 | Sec. 12.2.
(a) When a recipient who has been judicially or | ||||||
14 | involuntarily
admitted, or is a forensic recipient admitted to | ||||||
15 | a developmental disability
or mental health facility, as | ||||||
16 | defined in Section 1-107 or 1-114 of the
Mental Health and | ||||||
17 | Developmental Disabilities Code, is on an unauthorized
absence | ||||||
18 | or otherwise has left the facility without being discharged or
| ||||||
19 | being free to do so, the facility director shall immediately | ||||||
20 | furnish and
disclose to the appropriate local law enforcement | ||||||
21 | agency identifying
information, as defined in this Section, and | ||||||
22 | all further information
unrelated to the diagnosis, treatment | ||||||
23 | or evaluation of the recipient's
mental or physical health that | ||||||
24 | would aid the law enforcement agency in
locating and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | apprehending the recipient and returning him to the facility. | ||||||
2 | When a forensic recipient is on an unauthorized absence or | ||||||
3 | otherwise has left the facility without being discharged or | ||||||
4 | being free to do so, the facility director, or designee, of a | ||||||
5 | mental health facility or developmental facility operated by | ||||||
6 | the Department shall also immediately notify, in like manner, | ||||||
7 | the Department of State Police.
| ||||||
8 | (b) If a law enforcement agency requests information from a
| ||||||
9 | developmental disability or mental health facility, as defined | ||||||
10 | in Section
1-107 or 1-114 of the Mental Health and | ||||||
11 | Developmental Disabilities Code,
relating to a recipient who | ||||||
12 | has been admitted to the facility
and for whom a missing person | ||||||
13 | report has been filed with a law enforcement
agency, the | ||||||
14 | facility director shall, except in the case of a voluntary
| ||||||
15 | recipient wherein the recipient's permission in writing must | ||||||
16 | first be
obtained, furnish and disclose to the law enforcement | ||||||
17 | agency identifying
information as is necessary to confirm or | ||||||
18 | deny whether that person is, or
has been since the missing | ||||||
19 | person report was filed, a resident of that
facility. The | ||||||
20 | facility director shall notify the law enforcement agency if
| ||||||
21 | the missing person is admitted after the request. Any person | ||||||
22 | participating
in good faith in the disclosure of information in | ||||||
23 | accordance with this
provision shall have immunity from any | ||||||
24 | liability, civil, criminal, or
otherwise, if the information is | ||||||
25 | disclosed relying upon the representation
of an officer of a | ||||||
26 | law enforcement agency that a missing person report has
been |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | filed.
| ||||||
2 | (c) Upon the request of a law enforcement agency in | ||||||
3 | connection with the
investigation of a particular felony or sex | ||||||
4 | offense, when the investigation
case file number is furnished | ||||||
5 | by the law enforcement agency, a facility
director shall | ||||||
6 | immediately disclose to that law enforcement agency
| ||||||
7 | identifying information on any forensic recipient who is | ||||||
8 | admitted to
a developmental disability or mental health | ||||||
9 | facility, as defined in Section
1-107 or 1-114 of the Mental | ||||||
10 | Health and Developmental Disabilities Code,
who was or may have | ||||||
11 | been away from the facility at or about the time of the
| ||||||
12 | commission of a particular felony or sex offense, and: (1) | ||||||
13 | whose
description, clothing, or both reasonably match the | ||||||
14 | physical description of
any person allegedly involved in that | ||||||
15 | particular felony or sex offense; or
(2) whose past modus | ||||||
16 | operandi matches the modus operandi of that particular
felony | ||||||
17 | or sex offense.
| ||||||
18 | (d) For the purposes of this Section and Section 12.1, "law
| ||||||
19 | enforcement agency" means an agency of the State or unit of | ||||||
20 | local
government that is vested by law or ordinance with the | ||||||
21 | duty to maintain
public order and to enforce criminal laws or | ||||||
22 | ordinances, the Federal

4 | recipient may be suicidal, and the condition of the recipient's | ||||||
5 | physical
health as it relates to exposure to the weather. | ||||||
6 | Except as provided in
Section 11, in no case shall the facility | ||||||
7 | director disclose to the law
enforcement agency any information | ||||||
8 | relating to the diagnosis, treatment, or
evaluation of the | ||||||
9 | recipient's mental or physical health, unless the
disclosure is | ||||||
10 | deemed necessary by the facility director to insure the
safety | ||||||
11 | of the investigating officers or general public.
| ||||||
12 | (f) For the purpose of this Section, "forensic recipient" | ||||||
13 | means a

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | declared, or paternity or duty of support
has been established | ||||||
2 | under this Act or under prior law or under the law
of any other | ||||||
3 | jurisdiction, the judgment rendered thereunder may be enforced
| ||||||
4 | in the same or other proceedings by any party or any person or | ||||||
5 | agency that
has furnished or may furnish financial assistance | ||||||
6 | or services to the child.
The Income Withholding for Support | ||||||
7 | Act and Sections 14 and 16 of this Act shall
also be applicable | ||||||
8 | with respect
to entry, modification and enforcement of any | ||||||
9 | support judgment entered
under provisions of the "Paternity | ||||||
10 | Act", approved July 5, 1957, as amended,
repealed July 1, 1985.
| ||||||
11 | (b) Failure to comply with any order of the court shall be | ||||||
12 | punishable
as contempt as in other cases of failure to comply | ||||||
13 | under the "Illinois
Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act", | ||||||
14 | as now or hereafter amended. In
addition to other penalties | ||||||
15 | provided by law, the court may, after finding
the party guilty | ||||||
16 | of contempt, order that the party be:
| ||||||
17 | (1) Placed on probation with such conditions of | ||||||
18 | probation as the
court deems advisable;
| ||||||
19 | (2) Sentenced to periodic imprisonment for a period not | ||||||
20 | to exceed 6
months. However, the court may permit the party | ||||||
21 | to be released for periods
of time during the day or night | ||||||
22 | to work or conduct business or other
self-employed | ||||||
23 | occupation. The court may further order any part of all the
| ||||||
24 | earnings of a party during a sentence of periodic | ||||||
25 | imprisonment to be paid to
the Clerk of the Circuit Court | ||||||
26 | or to the person or parent having custody of
the minor |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | child for the support of said child until further order of | ||||||
2 | the court.
| ||||||
3 | (c) (2.5) The court may also pierce the ownership veil of a | ||||||
4 | person, persons,
or
business entity to discover assets of a | ||||||
5 | non-custodial parent held in the name
of that person, those | ||||||
6 | persons, or that business entity if there is a unity of
| ||||||
7 | interest and ownership sufficient to render no financial | ||||||
8 | separation between the
non-custodial parent and that person, | ||||||
9 | those persons, or the business entity.
The following | ||||||
10 | circumstances are sufficient for a court to order discovery of
| ||||||
11 | the assets of a person, persons, or business entity and to | ||||||
12 | compel the
application of any discovered assets toward payment | ||||||
13 | on the judgment for
support:
| ||||||
14 | (1) The (A) the non-custodial parent and the person, | ||||||
15 | persons, or business entity
maintain records together.
| ||||||
16 | (2) The (B) the non-custodial parent and the person, | ||||||
17 | persons, or business entity
fail to maintain an arms length | ||||||
18 | relationship between themselves with regard to
any assets.
| ||||||
19 | (3) The (C) the non-custodial parent transfers assets | ||||||
20 | to the person, persons,
or business entity with the intent | ||||||
21 | to perpetrate a fraud on the custodial
parent.
| ||||||
22 | With respect to assets which are real property, no order | ||||||
23 | entered under
this subsection (c) subdivision (2.5) shall | ||||||
24 | affect the rights of bona fide purchasers,
mortgagees, judgment | ||||||
25 | creditors, or other lien holders who acquire their
interests in | ||||||
26 | the property prior to the time a notice of lis pendens pursuant |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to
the Code of Civil Procedure or a copy of the order is placed | ||||||
2 | of record in the
office of the recorder of deeds for the county | ||||||
3 | in which the real property is
located.
| ||||||
4 | (d) (3) The court may also order that , in cases where the | ||||||
5 | party is 90 days or
more delinquent in payment of support or | ||||||
6 | has been adjudicated in arrears in an
amount equal to 90 days | ||||||
7 | obligation or more, that the party's
Illinois driving | ||||||
8 | privileges be suspended until the court
determines that the | ||||||
9 | party is in compliance with the judgement or duty of
support. | ||||||
10 | The court may also order that the parent be issued a family
| ||||||
11 | financial responsibility driving permit that would allow | ||||||
12 | limited
driving privileges for employment and medical purposes | ||||||
13 | in
accordance with Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle | ||||||
14 | Code.
The clerk of the circuit court shall certify the order | ||||||
15 | suspending
the driving privileges of the parent or granting the | ||||||
16 | issuance of a
family financial responsibility driving permit to | ||||||
17 | the Secretary of
State on forms prescribed by the Secretary. | ||||||
18 | Upon receipt of the
authenticated documents, the
Secretary of | ||||||
19 | State shall suspend the party's driving privileges until | ||||||
20 | further
order of the court and shall, if ordered
by the court, | ||||||
21 | subject to the provisions of Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois
| ||||||
22 | Vehicle Code, issue a family financial responsibility
driving | ||||||
23 | permit to the parent.
| ||||||
24 | (e) In addition to the penalties or punishment that may be | ||||||
25 | imposed under this
Section, any person whose conduct | ||||||
26 | constitutes a violation of Section 15 of the
Non-Support |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Punishment Act may be prosecuted
under that Act,
and
a person | ||||||
2 | convicted under that Act may be sentenced in
accordance with | ||||||
3 | that
Act. The sentence may include but need not be limited to a
| ||||||
4 | requirement
that the person
perform community service under | ||||||
5 | Section 50 of that
Act or
participate in a work alternative | ||||||
6 | program under Section 50
of that Act.
A person may not be | ||||||
7 | required to
participate in a work alternative program
under | ||||||
8 | Section 50 of that Act if the
person is currently participating
| ||||||
9 | in a work program pursuant to Section 15.1 of this Act.
| ||||||
10 | (f) (b-5) If a party who is found guilty of contempt for a | ||||||
11 | failure to comply with an order to pay support is a person who | ||||||
12 | conducts a business or who is self-employed, the court may in | ||||||
13 | addition to other penalties provided by law order that the | ||||||
14 | party do one or more of the following: (i) provide to the court | ||||||
15 | monthly financial statements showing income and expenses from | ||||||
16 | the business or the self-employment; (ii) seek employment and | ||||||
17 | report periodically to the court with a diary, listing, or | ||||||
18 | other memorandum of his or her employment search efforts; or | ||||||
19 | (iii) report to the Department of Employment Security for job | ||||||
20 | search services to find employment that will be subject to | ||||||
21 | withholding of child support. | ||||||
22 | (g) (c) In any post-judgment proceeding to enforce or | ||||||
23 | modify the judgment
the parties shall continue to be designated | ||||||
24 | as in the original proceeding.

of the following, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | except that a person shall not be considered an unfit
person | ||||||
2 | for the sole reason that the person has relinquished a child in
| ||||||
3 | accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act:
| ||||||
4 | (a) Abandonment of the child.
| ||||||
5 | (a-1) Abandonment of a newborn infant in a hospital.

18 | the death of that child.
| ||||||
19 | (e) Extreme or repeated cruelty to the child.
| ||||||
20 | (f) There is a rebuttable presumption, which can be | ||||||
21 | overcome only by clear and convincing evidence, that a | ||||||
22 | parent is unfit if:
| ||||||
23 | (1) Two or more findings of physical abuse have | ||||||
24 | been entered regarding any children under Section 2-21 | ||||||
25 | of the Juvenile Court Act
of 1987, the most recent of | ||||||
26 | which was determined by the juvenile court
hearing the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | matter to be supported by clear and convincing | ||||||
2 | evidence; or | ||||||
3 | (2) The parent has been convicted or found not | ||||||
4 | guilty by reason of insanity and the conviction or | ||||||
5 | finding resulted from the death of any child by | ||||||
6 | physical abuse; or
| ||||||
7 | (3) There is a finding of physical child abuse | ||||||
8 | resulting from the death of any
child under Section | ||||||
9 | 2-21 of the
Juvenile Court Act of 1987. | ||||||
10 | No conviction or finding of delinquency pursuant | ||||||
11 | to Article V 5 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 shall | ||||||
12 | be considered a criminal conviction for the purpose of | ||||||
13 | applying any presumption under this item (f).
| ||||||
14 | (g) Failure to protect the child from conditions within | ||||||
15 | his environment
injurious to the child's welfare.
| ||||||
16 | (h) Other neglect of, or misconduct toward the child; | ||||||

18 | hearing the adoption proceeding
shall not be bound by any | ||||||
19 | previous finding, order or judgment affecting
or | ||||||
20 | determining the rights of the parents toward the child | ||||||
21 | sought to be adopted
in any other proceeding except such | ||||||
22 | proceedings terminating parental rights

23 | under either this Act, the Juvenile Court Act or
the | ||||||
24 | Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
| ||||||
25 | (i) Depravity. Conviction of any one of the following
| ||||||
26 | crimes shall create a presumption that a parent is depraved |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | which can be
overcome only by clear and convincing | ||||||
2 | evidence:
(1) first degree murder in violation of paragraph | ||||||
3 | 1 or
2 of subsection (a) of Section 9-1 of the Criminal | ||||||
4 | Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or conviction
of | ||||||
5 | second degree murder in violation of subsection (a) of | ||||||
6 | Section 9-2 of the
Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal | ||||||
7 | Code of 2012 of a parent of the child to be adopted; (2)
| ||||||
8 | first degree murder or second degree murder of any child in
| ||||||
9 | violation of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code | ||||||

attempt or conspiracy to commit first degree | ||||||
11 | murder or second degree murder
of any child in violation of | ||||||
12 | the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012; (4)
| ||||||
13 | solicitation to commit murder of any child, solicitation to
| ||||||
14 | commit murder of any child for hire, or solicitation to | ||||||
15 | commit second
degree murder of any child in violation of | ||||||
16 | the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012; (5)
| ||||||
17 | predatory criminal sexual assault of a child in violation | ||||||

Section 11-1.40 or 12-14.1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 | ||||||
19 | or the Criminal Code of 2012; (6) heinous battery of any | ||||||
20 | child in violation of the Criminal Code of 1961; or (7) | ||||||
21 | aggravated battery of any child in violation of the | ||||||
22 | Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012.
| ||||||
23 | There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is | ||||||
24 | depraved if the parent
has been criminally convicted of at | ||||||
25 | least 3 felonies under the laws of this
State or any other | ||||||
26 | state, or under federal law, or the criminal laws of any
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | United States territory; and at least
one of these
| ||||||
2 | convictions took place within 5 years of the filing of the | ||||||
3 | petition or motion
seeking termination of parental rights.
| ||||||
4 | There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is | ||||||
5 | depraved if that
parent
has
been criminally convicted of | ||||||
6 | either first or second degree murder of any person
as | ||||||
7 | defined in the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code | ||||||
8 | of 2012 within 10 years of the filing date of
the petition | ||||||
9 | or motion to terminate parental rights. | ||||||
10 | No conviction or finding of delinquency pursuant to | ||||||
11 | Article 5 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 shall be | ||||||
12 | considered a criminal conviction for the purpose of | ||||||
13 | applying any presumption under this item (i).
| ||||||
14 | (j) Open and notorious adultery or fornication.
| ||||||
15 | (j-1) (Blank).
| ||||||
16 | (k) Habitual drunkenness or addiction to drugs, other | ||||||
17 | than those
prescribed by a physician, for at least one year | ||||||
18 | immediately
prior to the commencement of the unfitness | ||||||
19 | proceeding.
| ||||||
20 | There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is | ||||||
21 | unfit under this
subsection
with respect to any child to | ||||||
22 | which that parent gives birth where there is a
confirmed
| ||||||
23 | test result that at birth the child's blood, urine, or | ||||||
24 | meconium contained any
amount of a controlled substance as | ||||||
25 | defined in subsection (f) of Section 102 of
the Illinois | ||||||
26 | Controlled Substances Act or metabolites of such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | substances, the
presence of which in the newborn infant was | ||||||
2 | not the result of medical treatment
administered to the | ||||||
3 | mother or the newborn infant; and the biological mother of
| ||||||
4 | this child is the biological mother of at least one other | ||||||
5 | child who was
adjudicated a neglected minor under | ||||||
6 | subsection (c) of Section 2-3 of the
Juvenile Court Act of | ||||||
7 | 1987.
| ||||||
8 | (l) Failure to demonstrate a reasonable degree of | ||||||
9 | interest, concern or
responsibility as to the welfare of a | ||||||
10 | new born child during the first 30
days after its birth.
| ||||||
11 | (m) Failure by a parent (i) to make reasonable efforts | ||||||
12 | to correct the
conditions that were the basis for the | ||||||
13 | removal of the child from the
parent during any 9-month | ||||||
14 | period following the adjudication of neglected or abused | ||||||
15 | minor under Section 2-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 | ||||||
16 | or dependent minor under Section 2-4 of that Act, or (ii) | ||||||
17 | to make reasonable progress
toward the return of the
child | ||||||
18 | to the parent during any 9-month period following the | ||||||
19 | adjudication of
neglected or abused minor under Section 2-3 | ||||||
20 | of the Juvenile Court
Act of 1987 or dependent minor under | ||||||
21 | Section 2-4 of that Act.
If a service plan has been | ||||||
22 | established as
required under
Section 8.2 of the Abused and | ||||||
23 | Neglected Child Reporting Act to correct the
conditions | ||||||
24 | that were the basis for the removal of the child from the | ||||||
25 | parent
and if those services were available,
then, for | ||||||
26 | purposes of this Act, "failure to make reasonable progress |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | toward the
return of the child to the parent" includes the | ||||||
2 | parent's failure to substantially fulfill his or her | ||||||
3 | obligations
under
the service plan and correct the | ||||||
4 | conditions that brought the child into care
during any | ||||||
5 | 9-month period
following the adjudication under Section | ||||||
6 | 2-3 or 2-4 of the Juvenile Court
Act of 1987. | ||||||
7 | Notwithstanding any other provision, when a petition or | ||||||
8 | motion seeks to terminate parental rights on the basis of | ||||||
9 | item (ii) of this subsection (m), the petitioner shall file | ||||||
10 | with the court and serve on the parties a pleading that | ||||||
11 | specifies the 9-month period or periods relied on. The | ||||||
12 | pleading shall be filed and served on the parties no later | ||||||
13 | than 3 weeks before the date set by the court for closure | ||||||
14 | of discovery, and the allegations in the pleading shall be | ||||||
15 | treated as incorporated into the petition or motion. | ||||||
16 | Failure of a respondent to file a written denial of the | ||||||
17 | allegations in the pleading shall not be treated as an | ||||||
18 | admission that the allegations are true.
| ||||||
19 | (m-1) Pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, a | ||||||
20 | child
has been in foster care for 15 months out of any 22 | ||||||
21 | month period which begins
on or after the effective date of | ||||||
22 | this amendatory Act of 1998 unless the
child's parent can | ||||||
23 | prove
by a preponderance of the evidence that it is more | ||||||
24 | likely than not that it will
be in the best interests of | ||||||
25 | the child to be returned to the parent within 6
months of | ||||||
26 | the date on which a petition for termination of parental |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | rights is
filed under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. The | ||||||
2 | 15 month time limit is tolled
during
any period for which | ||||||
3 | there is a court finding that the appointed custodian or
| ||||||
4 | guardian failed to make reasonable efforts to reunify the | ||||||
5 | child with his or her
family, provided that (i) the finding | ||||||
6 | of no reasonable efforts is made within
60 days of the | ||||||
7 | period when reasonable efforts were not made or (ii) the | ||||||
8 | parent
filed a motion requesting a finding of no reasonable | ||||||
9 | efforts within 60 days of
the period when reasonable | ||||||
10 | efforts were not made. For purposes of this
subdivision | ||||||
11 | (m-1), the date of entering foster care is the earlier of: | ||||||
12 | (i) the
date of
a judicial finding at an adjudicatory | ||||||
13 | hearing that the child is an abused,
neglected, or | ||||||
14 | dependent minor; or (ii) 60 days after the date on which | ||||||
15 | the
child is removed from his or her parent, guardian, or | ||||||
16 | legal custodian.
| ||||||
17 | (n) Evidence of intent to forgo his or her parental | ||||||
18 | rights,
whether or
not the child is a ward of the court, | ||||||
19 | (1) as manifested
by his or her failure for a period of 12 | ||||||
20 | months: (i) to visit the child,
(ii) to communicate with | ||||||
21 | the child or agency, although able to do so and
not | ||||||
22 | prevented from doing so by an agency or by court order, or | ||||||
23 | (iii) to
maintain contact with or plan for the future of | ||||||
24 | the child, although physically
able to do so, or (2) as | ||||||
25 | manifested by the father's failure, where he
and the mother | ||||||
26 | of the child were unmarried to each other at the time of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the
child's birth, (i) to commence legal proceedings to | ||||||
2 | establish his paternity
under the Illinois Parentage Act of | ||||||
3 | 1984 or the law of the jurisdiction of
the child's birth | ||||||
4 | within 30 days of being informed, pursuant to Section 12a
| ||||||
5 | of this Act, that he is the father or the likely father of | ||||||
6 | the child or,
after being so informed where the child is | ||||||
7 | not yet born, within 30 days of
the child's birth, or (ii) | ||||||
8 | to make a good faith effort to pay a reasonable
amount of | ||||||
9 | the expenses related to the birth of the child and to | ||||||
10 | provide a
reasonable amount for the financial support of | ||||||
11 | the child, the court to
consider in its determination all | ||||||
12 | relevant circumstances, including the
financial condition | ||||||
13 | of both parents; provided that the ground for
termination | ||||||
14 | provided in this subparagraph (n)(2)(ii) shall only be
| ||||||
15 | available where the petition is brought by the mother or | ||||||
16 | the husband of
the mother.
| ||||||
17 | Contact or communication by a parent with his or her | ||||||
18 | child that does not
demonstrate affection and concern does | ||||||
19 | not constitute reasonable contact
and planning under | ||||||
20 | subdivision (n). In the absence of evidence to the
| ||||||
21 | contrary, the ability to visit, communicate, maintain | ||||||
22 | contact, pay
expenses and plan for the future shall be | ||||||
23 | presumed. The subjective intent
of the parent, whether | ||||||
24 | expressed or otherwise, unsupported by evidence of
the | ||||||
25 | foregoing parental acts manifesting that intent, shall not | ||||||
26 | preclude a
determination that the parent has intended to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | forgo his or her
parental
rights. In making this | ||||||
2 | determination, the court may consider but shall not
require | ||||||
3 | a showing of diligent efforts by an authorized agency to | ||||||
4 | encourage
the parent to perform the acts specified in | ||||||
5 | subdivision (n).
| ||||||
6 | It shall be an affirmative defense to any allegation | ||||||
7 | under paragraph
(2) of this subsection that the father's | ||||||
8 | failure was due to circumstances
beyond his control or to | ||||||
9 | impediments created by the mother or any other
person | ||||||
10 | having legal custody. Proof of that fact need only be by a
| ||||||
11 | preponderance of the evidence.
| ||||||
12 | (o) Repeated or continuous failure by the parents, | ||||||
13 | although physically
and financially able, to provide the | ||||||
14 | child with adequate food, clothing,
or shelter.
| ||||||
15 | (p) Inability to discharge parental responsibilities | ||||||
16 | supported by
competent evidence from a psychiatrist, | ||||||
17 | licensed clinical social
worker, or clinical psychologist | ||||||
18 | of mental
impairment, mental illness or an intellectual | ||||||
19 | disability as defined in Section
1-116 of the Mental Health | ||||||
20 | and Developmental Disabilities Code, or
developmental | ||||||
21 | disability as defined in Section 1-106 of that Code, and
| ||||||
22 | there is sufficient justification to believe that the | ||||||
23 | inability to
discharge parental responsibilities shall | ||||||
24 | extend beyond a reasonable
time period. However, this | ||||||
25 | subdivision (p) shall not be construed so as to
permit a | ||||||
26 | licensed clinical social worker to conduct any medical |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | diagnosis to
determine mental illness or mental | ||||||
2 | impairment.
| ||||||
3 | (q) (Blank).
| ||||||
4 | (r) The child is in the temporary custody or | ||||||
5 | guardianship of the
Department of Children and Family | ||||||

| ||||||
23 | except that
the appointment of a guardian ad litem shall not be | ||||||
24 | required when
the court determines that such appointment is not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | necessary for the protection
of the respondent or a reasonably | ||||||
2 | informed decision on the petition.
If the guardian ad litem is | ||||||
3 | not a licensed attorney, he or she shall be
qualified,
by
| ||||||

17 | the petition and of his rights
under Section 11a-11.

25 | law, a guardian ad litem shall have the right to inspect and | ||||||
26 | copy any medical or mental health record of the respondent |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | which the guardian ad litem deems necessary, provided that the | ||||||
2 | information so disclosed shall not be utilized for any other | ||||||
3 | purpose nor be redisclosed except in connection with the | ||||||
4 | proceedings. At or before the hearing, the guardian ad litem | ||||||

16 | best served by the appointment,
and (2) shall appoint counsel | ||||||
17 | upon respondent's request or if the respondent
takes a position | ||||||
18 | adverse to that of the guardian ad litem. The respondent
shall | ||||||
19 | be permitted to obtain the appointment of counsel either at the | ||||||
20 | hearing
or by any written or oral request communicated to the | ||||||
21 | court prior to the
hearing. The summons shall inform the | ||||||
22 | respondent of this right to obtain
appointed counsel. The court | ||||||
23 | may allow counsel for the respondent reasonable
compensation.
| ||||||
24 | (c) If the respondent is unable to pay the fee of the | ||||||
25 | guardian ad litem or
appointed counsel, or both, the court may | ||||||
26 | enter an order for
the petitioner to
pay all
such
fees or such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amounts as the respondent or the respondent's estate may be | ||||||
2 | unable
to pay.

16 | court directs,
including at a facility in which the respondent | ||||||
17 | resides.

| ||||||
25 | Sec. 11a-23. Reliance on authority of guardian, standby |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | guardian,
short-term guardian. | ||||||
2 | (a) For the purpose of this Section, "guardian", "standby | ||||||
3 | guardian", and
"short-term guardian" includes temporary, | ||||||
4 | plenary,
or limited guardians of all wards.
| ||||||
5 | (b) Every health care provider and other person (reliant) | ||||||
6 | has the right to
rely on any decision or direction made by the | ||||||
7 | guardian, standby guardian, or
short-term guardian that is not | ||||||
8 | clearly contrary to the law, to the same
extent
and with the | ||||||
9 | same effect as though the decision or direction had been made | ||||||
10 | or
given by the ward. Any person dealing with the guardian, | ||||||
11 | standby guardian,
or
short-term guardian may presume in the | ||||||
12 | absence of actual knowledge to the
contrary that the acts of | ||||||
13 | the guardian, standby guardian, or short-term
guardian conform | ||||||
14 | to the provisions of the law. A reliant shall not be
protected | ||||||
15 | if the reliant has actual knowledge that the guardian, standby
| ||||||
16 | guardian, or short-term guardian is not entitled to act or that | ||||||
17 | any
particular action or inaction is contrary to the provisions | ||||||
18 | of the law.
| ||||||
19 | (c) A health care provider (provider) who relies on and | ||||||
20 | carries out a
guardian's, standby guardian's, or short-term | ||||||
21 | guardian's directions and who
acts with due care and in | ||||||
22 | accordance with the law shall not be subject to any
claim based | ||||||
23 | on lack of consent, or to criminal prosecution, or to
| ||||||
24 | discipline for unprofessional conduct. Nothing in this Section | ||||||
25 | shall be deemed
to protect a provider from liability for the | ||||||
26 | provider's own negligence in the
performance of the provider's |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | duties or in carrying out any instructions of the
guardian, | ||||||
2 | standby guardian, or short-term guardian, and nothing in this
| ||||||
3 | Section shall be deemed to alter the law of negligence as it | ||||||
4 | applies to the
acts of any guardian or provider.
| ||||||
5 | (d) A guardian, standby guardian, or short-term short term | ||||||
6 | guardian, who acts or
refrains from acting is not subject to | ||||||
7 | criminal prosecution or any claim based
upon lack of his or her | ||||||
8 | authority or failure to act, if the act or failure to
act was | ||||||
9 | with due care and in accordance with law. The guardian, standby
| ||||||
10 | guardian, or short-term short term guardian, shall not be | ||||||
11 | liable merely because he or
she
may benefit from the act, has | ||||||
12 | individual or conflicting interests in relation
to the care and | ||||||
13 | affairs of the ward, or acts in a different manner with
respect | ||||||
14 | to the guardian's, standby guardian's, or short-term | ||||||
15 | guardian's

22 | exoneration. | ||||||
23 | (a) The agent shall be under

4 | faith for the benefit of
the principal using due care, | ||||||
5 | competence, and diligence in accordance with the terms of the | ||||||
6 | agency and shall be
liable for negligent exercise. An agent who | ||||||
7 | acts with due care for the
benefit of the principal shall not | ||||||
8 | be liable or limited merely because the
agent also benefits | ||||||
9 | from the act, has individual or conflicting interests
in | ||||||
10 | relation to the property, care or affairs of the principal or | ||||||
11 | acts in a
different manner with respect to the agency and the | ||||||
12 | agent's individual
interests.
The agent shall not be
affected | ||||||
13 | by any amendment or termination
of the agency until the agent | ||||||
14 | has actual knowledge thereof. The agent
shall not be liable for | ||||||
15 | any loss due to error of judgment nor for the act
or default of | ||||||
16 | any other person.
| ||||||
17 | (b) An agent that has accepted appointment must act in | ||||||
18 | accordance with the principal's expectations to the extent | ||||||
19 | actually known to the agent and otherwise in the principal's | ||||||
20 | best interests. | ||||||

22 | disbursements, and significant actions taken under the | ||||||
23 | authority of the agency and shall provide a copy of this record | ||||||
24 | when requested to do so by: | ||||||
25 | (1) the principal, a guardian, another fiduciary | ||||||
26 | acting on behalf of the principal, and, after the death of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the principal, the personal representative or successors | ||||||
2 | in interest of the principal's estate; | ||||||
3 | (2) a representative of a provider agency, as defined | ||||||

5 | in the course of an assessment of a complaint of elder | ||||||
6 | abuse or neglect under that Act; | ||||||

16 | Abuse of Adults with Disabilities Intervention Act; | ||||||
17 | (5) a court under Section 2-10 of this Act; or | ||||||
18 | (6) a representative of the Office of State Guardian or | ||||||
19 | public guardian for the county in which the principal | ||||||
20 | resides acting in the course of investigating whether to | ||||||
21 | file a petition for guardianship of the principal under | ||||||
22 | Section 11a-4 or 11a-8 of the Probate Act of 1975. | ||||||
23 | (d) If the agent fails to provide his or her record of all | ||||||
24 | receipts, disbursements, and significant actions within 21 | ||||||
25 | days after a request under subsection (c), the adult abuse | ||||||
26 | provider agency, the State Guardian, the public guardian, or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the State Long Term Care Ombudsman may petition the court for | ||||||
2 | an order requiring the agent to produce his or her record of | ||||||
3 | receipts, disbursements, and significant actions. If the court | ||||||
4 | finds that the agent's failure to provide his or her record in | ||||||
5 | a timely manner to the adult abuse provider agency, the State | ||||||
6 | Guardian, the public guardian, or the State Long Term Care | ||||||
7 | Ombudsman was without good cause, the court may assess | ||||||
8 | reasonable costs and attorney's fees against the agent, and | ||||||
9 | order such other relief as is appropriate. | ||||||
10 | (e) An agent is not required to disclose receipts, | ||||||
11 | disbursements, or other significant actions conducted on | ||||||
12 | behalf of the principal except as otherwise provided in the | ||||||
13 | power of attorney or as required under subsection (c). | ||||||
14 | (f) An agent that violates this Act is liable to the | ||||||
15 | principal or the principal's successors in interest for the | ||||||
16 | amount required (i) to restore the value of the principal's | ||||||
17 | property to what it would have been had the violation not | ||||||
18 | occurred, and (ii) to reimburse the principal or the | ||||||
19 | principal's successors in interest for the attorney's fees and | ||||||
20 | costs paid on the agent's behalf. This subsection does not | ||||||
21 | limit any other applicable legal or equitable remedies. | ||||||

court | ||||||
3 | directs and a finding by the court that the principal
lacks | ||||||
4 | either the capacity to control or the capacity to revoke the | ||||||
5 | agency, the court may construe a power of attorney, review the | ||||||
6 | agent's conduct, and grant appropriate relief including | ||||||
7 | compensatory damages. | ||||||
8 | (b) If the court finds
that the agent is not acting for the | ||||||
9 | benefit of the principal in accordance
with the terms of the | ||||||
10 | agency or that the agent's action or inaction has
caused or | ||||||
11 | threatens substantial harm to the principal's person or | ||||||
12 | property
in a manner not authorized or intended by the | ||||||
13 | principal, the court may
order a guardian of the principal's | ||||||
14 | person or estate to exercise any powers
of the principal under | ||||||
15 | the agency, including the power to revoke the
agency, or may | ||||||
16 | enter such other orders without appointment of a guardian as
| ||||||
17 | the court deems necessary to provide for the best interests of | ||||||
18 | the
principal. | ||||||
19 | (c) If the court finds that the agency requires
| ||||||
20 | interpretation, the court may construe the agency and instruct | ||||||
21 | the agent,
but the court may not amend the agency. | ||||||
22 | (d) If the court finds that the agent has not acted for the | ||||||
23 | benefit of the principal in accordance with the terms of the | ||||||
24 | agency and the Illinois Power of Attorney Act, or that the | ||||||
25 | agent's action caused or threatened substantial harm to the | ||||||
26 | principal's person or property in a manner not authorized or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | intended by the principal, then the agent shall not be | ||||||
2 | authorized to pay or be reimbursed from the estate of the | ||||||
3 | principal the attorneys' fees and costs of the agent in | ||||||
4 | defending a proceeding brought pursuant to this Section. | ||||||
5 | (e) Upon a finding that the agent's action has caused | ||||||
6 | substantial harm to the principal's person or property, the | ||||||
7 | court may assess against the agent reasonable costs and | ||||||
8 | attorney's fees to a prevailing party who is a provider agency | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||

16 | the request who has attained the age of 18, but who is | ||||||

18 | This subsection (c) does not prevent a consumer reporting | ||||||
19 | agency from advising a third party that a security freeze is in | ||||||
20 | effect with respect to the consumer's credit report.
| ||||||
21 | (d) A consumer reporting agency shall place a security | ||||||

9 | (f) If the consumer wishes to allow his or her credit | ||||||
10 | report to be accessed for a specific party or period of time | ||||||
11 | while a freeze is in place, he or she shall contact the | ||||||

21 | users of the credit report; and
| ||||||
22 | (4) A fee, if applicable.
| ||||||
23 | A security freeze for a minor may not be temporarily | ||||||
24 | lifted. This Section does not require a consumer reporting | ||||||
25 | agency to provide to a minor or a parent or guardian of a minor | ||||||
26 | on behalf of the minor a unique personal identification number, |
| |||||||
| |||||||

13 | (h) A consumer reporting agency that receives a request | ||||||
14 | from a consumer to temporarily lift a freeze on a credit report | ||||||
15 | pursuant to subsection (f), shall comply with the request no | ||||||
16 | later than 3 business days after receiving the request.
| ||||||
17 | (i) A consumer reporting agency shall remove or temporarily | ||||||
18 | lift a freeze placed on a consumer's credit report only in the | ||||||
19 | following cases:

23 | material misrepresentation of fact by the consumer.

24 | If a consumer reporting agency intends to remove a freeze | ||||||
25 | upon a consumer's credit report pursuant to this subsection, | ||||||
26 | the consumer reporting agency shall notify the consumer in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | writing prior to removing the freeze on the consumer's credit | ||||||
2 | report.

7 | accessed for that specific party or period of time, the third | ||||||
8 | party may treat the application as incomplete.
| ||||||
9 | (k) If a consumer requests a security freeze, the credit | ||||||
10 | reporting agency shall disclose to the consumer the process of | ||||||
11 | placing and temporarily lifting a security freeze, and the | ||||||

16 | consumer or person authorized under subsection (c) to act on | ||||||
17 | behalf of the minor or disabled person that is the subject of | ||||||
18 | the security freeze requests, using a point of contact | ||||||
19 | designated by the consumer reporting agency, that the security | ||||||
20 | freeze be removed. A credit reporting agency shall remove a | ||||||
21 | security freeze within 3 business days of receiving a request | ||||||
22 | for removal from the consumer, who provides:
| ||||||
23 | (1) Proper identification;
| ||||||
24 | (2) The unique personal identification number or | ||||||
25 | password or similar device provided by the consumer | ||||||

12 | reasonable
evidence of the relocation is presented to the | ||||||

17 | contract, the
customer's estate shall be liable for only | ||||||
18 | that portion of the charges
allocable to the time before | ||||||

20 | to require and verify reasonable
evidence of the death.

25 | security number, (v) the worker's classification or |
| |||||||
| |||||||

11 | (2) no later than the 15th day of each calendar month | ||||||
12 | file a certified payroll for the immediately preceding | ||||||
13 | month with the public body in charge of the project. A | ||||||
14 | certified payroll must be filed for only those calendar | ||||||
15 | months during which construction on a public works project | ||||||
16 | has occurred. The certified payroll shall consist of a | ||||||
17 | complete copy of the records identified in paragraph (1) of | ||||||
18 | this subsection (a), but may exclude the starting and | ||||||
19 | ending times of work each day. The certified payroll shall | ||||||
20 | be accompanied by a statement signed by the contractor or | ||||||
21 | subcontractor or an officer, employee, or agent of the | ||||||
22 | contractor or subcontractor which avers that: (i) he or she | ||||||
23 | has examined the certified payroll records required to be | ||||||

5 | certification of a lower tier subcontractor, provided the | ||||||
6 | general contractor does not knowingly rely upon a | ||||||
7 | subcontractor's false certification. Any contractor or | ||||||
8 | subcontractor subject to this Act and any officer, | ||||||
9 | employee, or agent of such contractor or subcontractor | ||||||
10 | whose duty as such officer, employee, or agent it is to | ||||||
11 | file such certified payroll who willfully fails to file | ||||||
12 | such a certified payroll on or before the date such | ||||||
13 | certified payroll is required by this paragraph to be filed | ||||||
14 | and any person who willfully files a false certified | ||||||
15 | payroll that is false as to any material fact is in | ||||||
16 | violation of this Act and guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. | ||||||
17 | The public body in charge of the project shall keep the | ||||||
18 | records submitted in accordance with this paragraph (2) of | ||||||
19 | subsection (a) before January 1, 2014 (the effective date | ||||||
20 | of Public Act 98-328) the effective date of this amendatory | ||||||

22 | than 3 years, and the records submitted in accordance with | ||||||
23 | this paragraph (2) of subsection (a) on or after January 1, | ||||||
24 | 2014 (the effective date of Public Act 98-328) the | ||||||
25 | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General | ||||||
26 | Assembly for a period of 5 years, from the date of the last |
| |||||||

4 | records, except an employee's address, telephone number, | ||||||
5 | and social security number, and made available in | ||||||
6 | accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. The public | ||||||
7 | body shall accept any reasonable submissions by the | ||||||
8 | contractor that meet the requirements of this Section.
| ||||||
9 | A contractor, subcontractor, or public body may retain | ||||||
10 | records required under this Section in paper or electronic | ||||||
11 | format. | ||||||
12 | (b) Upon 7 business days' notice, the contractor and each | ||||||
13 | subcontractor shall make available for inspection and copying | ||||||
