Application of Act; definitions. This Act applies to persons with disabilities. The disabilities included are defined for purposes of this Act as follows: "Disability" means a disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 that is attributable to a developmental disability, a mental illness, or a physical disability, or combination of those. "Developmental disability" means a disability that is attributable to mental retardation or a related condition. A related condition must meet all of the following conditions: (1) It must be attributable to cerebral palsy, epilepsy, or autism, or any other condition (other than mental illness) found to be closely related to mental retardation because that condition results in impairment of general intellectual functioning or adaptive behavior similar to that of individuals with mental retardation, and requires treatment or services similar to those required for those individuals. (2) It must be manifested before the individual reaches age 22. (3) It must be likely to continue indefinitely. (4) It must result in substantial functional limitations in 3 or more of the following areas of major life activity: self-care, language, learning, mobility, self-direction, and capacity for independent living. "Mental Illness" means a mental or emotional disorder verified by a diagnosis contained in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition, published by the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV) or International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) that substantially impairs a person's cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning, or any combination of those, excluding (i) conditions that may be the focus of clinical attention but are not of sufficient duration or severity to be categorized as a mental illness, such as parent-child relational problems, partner-relational problems, sexual abuse of a child, bereavement, academic problems, phase-of-life problems, and occupational problems (collectively, "V codes"), (ii) organic disorders such as substance intoxication dementia, substance withdrawal dementia,
[April 4, 2001] 50 Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, dementia due to HIV infection, and dementia due to Creutzfeld-Jakob disease and disorders associated with known or unknown physical conditions such as hallucinasis, amnestic disorders and delirium, psychoactive substance-induced organic disorders, and (iii) mental retardation or psychoactive substance use disorders. "Mental retardation" means significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior and manifested before the age of 22 years. "Significantly sub-average" means an intelligence quotient (IQ) of 70 or below on standardized measures of intelligence. This upper limit could be extended upward depending on the reliability of the intelligence test used. "Physical disability" means a disability as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 that meets the following criteria: (1) It is attributable to a physical impairment. (2) It results in a substantial functional limitation in 3 or more of the following areas of major life activity: (i) self-care, (ii) receptive and expressive language, (iii) learning, (iv) mobility, (v) self-direction, (vi) capacity for independent living, and (vii) economic sufficiency.

(a) A person commits the offense of child abandonment when he or she, as a parent, guardian, or other person having physical custody or control of a child, without regard for the mental or physical health, safety, or welfare of that child, knowingly leaves that child who is under the age of 13 without supervision by a responsible person over the age of 14 for a period of 24 hours or more, except that a person does not commit the offense of child abandonment when he or she relinquishes a child in accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act. (b) For the purposes of determining whether the child was left without regard for the mental or physical health, safety, or welfare of that child, the trier of fact shall consider the following factors: (1) the age of the child;
[April 4, 2001] 54 (2) the number of children left at the location; (3) special needs of the child, including whether the child is physically or mentally handicapped, or otherwise in need of ongoing prescribed medical treatment such as periodic doses of insulin or other medications; (4) the duration of time in which the child was left without supervision; (5) the condition and location of the place where the child was left without supervision; (6) the time of day or night when the child was left without supervision; (7) the weather conditions, including whether the child was left in a location with adequate protection from the natural elements such as adequate heat or light; (8) the location of the parent, guardian, or other person having physical custody or control of the child at the time the child was left without supervision, the physical distance the child was from the parent, guardian, or other person having physical custody or control of the child at the time the child was without supervision; (9) whether the child's movement was restricted, or the child was otherwise locked within a room or other structure; (10) whether the child was given a phone number of a person or location to call in the event of an emergency and whether the child was capable of making an emergency call; (11) whether there was food and other provision left for the child; (12) whether any of the conduct is attributable to economic hardship or illness and the parent, guardian or other person having physical custody or control of the child made a good faith effort to provide for the health and safety of the child; (13) the age and physical and mental capabilities of the person or persons who provided supervision for the child; (14) any other factor that would endanger the health or safety of that particular child; (15) whether the child was left under the supervision of another person. (d) Child abandonment is a Class 4 felony. A second or subsequent offense after a prior conviction is a Class 3 felony. (Source: P.A. 88-479.) (720 ILCS 5/12-21.6) Sec. 12-21.6. Endangering the life or health of a child. (a) It is unlawful for any person to willfully cause or permit the life or health of a child under the age of 18 to be endangered or to willfully cause or permit a child to be placed in circumstances that endanger the child's life or health, except that it is not unlawful for a person to relinquish a child in accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act. (b) A violation of this Section is a Class A misdemeanor. A second or subsequent violation of this Section is a Class 3 felony. A violation of this Section that is a proximate cause of the death of the child is a Class 3 felony for which a person, if sentenced to a term of imprisonment, shall be sentenced to a term of not less than 2 years and not more than 10 years.

55 [April 4, 2001] neglect of children, except that a person who relinquishes a child in accordance with the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act is not guilty of that misdemeanor. Instead of imposing the punishment hereinbefore provided, the court may release the defendant from custody on probation for one year upon his or her entering into recognizance with or without surety in such sum as the court directs. The conditions of the recognizance shall be such that if the defendant appears personally in court whenever ordered to do so within the year and provides and cares for such neglected and dependent child in such manner as to prevent a continuance or repetition of such state of dependency and neglect or as otherwise may be directed by the court then the recognizance shall be void, otherwise it shall be of full force and effect. If the court is satisfied by information and due proof under oath that at any time during the year the defendant has violated the terms of such order it may forthwith revoke the order and sentence him or her under the original conviction. Unless so sentenced, the defendant shall at the end of the year be discharged. In case of forfeiture on the recognizance the sum recovered thereon may in the discretion of the court be paid in whole or in part to someone designated by the court for the support of such dependent and neglected child. (Source: P.A. 77-2350.)". Representative Coulson offered the following amendment and moved its adoption: AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO HOUSE BILL 632 AMENDMENT NO. 2. Amend House Bill 632, AS AMENDED, as follows: by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following: "Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Abandoned Newborn Infant Protection Act. Section 5. Public policy. Illinois recognizes that newborn infants have been abandoned to the environment or to other circumstances that may be unsafe to the newborn infant. These circumstances have caused injury and death to newborn infants and give rise to potential civil or criminal liability to parents who may be under severe emotional distress. This Act is intended to provide a mechanism for a newborn infant to be relinquished to a safe environment and for the parents of the infant to remain anonymous if they choose and to avoid civil or criminal liability for the act of relinquishing the infant. It is recognized that establishing an adoption plan is preferable to relinquishing a child using the procedures outlined in this Act, but to reduce the chance of injury to a newborn infant, this Act provides a safer alternative. A public information campaign on this delicate issue shall be implemented to encourage parents considering abandonment of their newborn child to relinquish the child under the procedures outlined in this Act, to choose a traditional adoption plan, or to parent a child themselves rather than place the newborn infant in harm's way. Section 10. Definitions. In this Act: "Abandon" has the same meaning as in the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. "Abused child" has the same meaning as in the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. "Child-placing agency" means a licensed public or private agency that receives a child for the purpose of placing or arranging for the placement of the child in a foster family home or other facility for child care, apart from the custody of the child's parents. "Department" or "DCFS" means the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. "Emergency medical facility" means a freestanding emergency center or trauma center, as defined in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act. "Emergency medical professional" includes licensed physicians, and
[April 4, 2001] 56 any emergency medical technician-basic, emergency medical technician-intermediate, emergency medical technician-paramedic, trauma nurse specialist, and pre-hospital RN, as defined in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act. "Fire station" means a fire station within the State that is staffed with at least one full-time emergency medical professional. "Hospital" has the same meaning as in the Hospital Licensing Act. "Legal custody" means the relationship created by a court order in the best interest of a newborn infant that imposes on the infant's custodian the responsibility of physical possession of the infant, the duty to protect, train, and discipline the infant, and the duty to provide the infant with food, shelter, education, and medical care, except as these are limited by parental rights and responsibilities. "Neglected child" has the same meaning as in the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. "Newborn infant" means a child who a licensed physician reasonably believes is 72 hours old or less at the time the child is initially relinquished to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, and who is not an abused or a neglected child. "Relinquish" means to bring a newborn infant, who a licensed physician reasonably believes is 72 hours old or less, to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility and to leave the infant with personnel of the facility, if the person leaving the infant does not express an intent to return for the infant or states that he or she will not return for the infant. In the case of a mother who gives birth to an infant in a hospital, the mother's act of leaving that newborn infant at the hospital (i) without expressing an intent to return for the infant or (ii) stating that she will not return for the infant is not a "relinquishment" under this Act. "Temporary protective custody" means the temporary placement of a newborn infant within a hospital or other medical facility out of the custody of the infant's parent. Section 15. Presumptions. (a) There is a presumption that by relinquishing a newborn infant in accordance with this Act, the infant's parent consents to the termination of his or her parental rights with respect to the infant. (b) There is a presumption that a person relinquishing a newborn infant in accordance with this Act: (1) is the newborn infant's biological parent; and (2) either without expressing an intent to return for the infant or expressing an intent not to return for the infant, did intend to relinquish the infant to the hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility to treat, care for, and provide for the infant in accordance with this Act. (c) A parent of a relinquished newborn infant may rebut the presumption set forth in either subsection (a) or subsection (b) pursuant to Section 55, at any time before the termination of the parent's parental rights. Section 20. Procedures with respect to relinquished newborn infants. (a) Hospitals. Every hospital must accept and provide all necessary emergency services and care to a relinquished newborn infant, in accordance with this Act. The act of relinquishing a newborn infant serves as implied consent for the hospital and its medical personnel and physicians on staff to treat and provide care for the infant. The hospital shall be deemed to have temporary protective custody of a relinquished newborn infant until the infant is discharged to the custody of a child-placing agency or the Department. (b) Fire stations and emergency medical facilities. Every fire station and emergency medical facility must accept and provide all necessary emergency services and care to a relinquished newborn infant, in accordance with this Act. The act of relinquishing a newborn infant serves as implied consent for the fire station or emergency medical facility and its emergency medical professionals to treat and provide care for the infant, to the
57 [April 4, 2001] extent that those emergency medical professionals are trained to provide those services. After the relinquishment of a newborn infant to a fire station or emergency medical facility, the fire station or emergency medical facility's personnel must arrange for the transportation of the infant to the nearest hospital as soon as transportation can be arranged. If the parent of a new born infant returns to reclaim the child within 72 hours after relinquishing the child to a fire station or emergency medical facility, the fire station or emergency medical facility must inform the parent of the name and location of the hospital to which the infant was transported. Section 25. Immunity for relinquishing person. (a) The act of relinquishing a newborn infant to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility in accordance with this Act does not, by itself, constitute a basis for a finding of abuse, neglect, or abandonment of the infant pursuant to the laws of this State nor does it, by itself, constitute a violation of Section 12-21.5 or 12-21.6 of the Criminal Code of 1961. (b) If there is suspected child abuse or neglect that is not based solely on the newborn infant's relinquishment to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, the personnel of the hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility who are mandated reporters under the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act must report the abuse or neglect pursuant to that Act. (c) Neither a child protective investigation nor a criminal investigation may be initiated solely because a newborn infant is relinquished pursuant to this Act. Section 27. Immunity of facility and personnel. A hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, and any personnel of a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, are immune from criminal or civil liability for acting in good faith in accordance with this Act. Nothing in this Act, however, limits a person's liability for negligence. Section 30. Anonymity of relinquishing person. If there is no evidence of abuse or neglect of a relinquished newborn infant, the relinquishing person has the right to remain anonymous and to leave the hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility at any time and not be pursued or followed. Before the relinquishing person leaves the hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, the hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility shall offer the relinquishing person an information packet described in Section 35 of this Act. However, nothing in this Act shall be construed as precluding the relinquishing person from providing his or her identity or completing the application forms for the Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical Information Exchange and requesting that the hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility forward those forms to the Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical information Exchange. Section 35. Information for relinquishing person. A hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility that receives a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with this Act must offer an information packet to the relinquishing person and, if possible, must clearly inform the relinquishing person that his or her acceptance of the information is completely voluntary, that registration with the Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical Information Exchange is voluntary, that the person will remain anonymous if he or she completes a Denial of Information Exchange, and that the person has the option to provide medical information only and still remain anonymous. The information packet must include all of the following: (1) All Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical Information Exchange application forms, including the Medical Information Exchange Questionnaire and the web site address and toll free phone number of the Registry. (2) Written notice of the following: (A) No sooner than 60 days following the date of the initial relinquishment of the infant to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility, the child-placing
[April 4, 2001] 58 agency or the Department will commence proceedings for the termination of parental rights and placement of the infant for adoption. (B) Failure of a parent of the infant to contact the Department and petition for the return of custody of the infant before termination of parental rights bars any future action asserting legal rights with respect to the infant. (3) A resource list of providers of counseling services including grief counseling, pregnancy counseling, and counseling regarding adoption and other available options for placement of the infant. Upon request, the Department of Public Health shall provide the application forms for the Illinois Adoption Registry and Medical Information Exchange to hospitals, fire stations, and emergency medical facilities. Section 40. Reporting requirements. (a) Within 12 hours after accepting a newborn infant from a relinquishing person or from a fire station or emergency medical facility in accordance with this Act, a hospital must report to the Department's State Central Registry for the purpose of transferring physical custody of the infant from the hospital to either a child-placing agency or the Department. (b) Within 24 hours after receiving a report under subsection (a), the Department must request assistance from law enforcement officials to investigate the matter using the National Crime Information Center to ensure that the relinquished newborn infant is not a missing child. (c) Once a hospital has made a report to the Department under subsection (a), the Department must provide to the hospital the name of a licensed child-placing agency. The hospital must then arrange for the child-placing agency to accept physical custody of the relinquished newborn infant. (d) If a relinquished child is not a newborn infant as defined in this Act, the hospital and the Department must proceed as if the child is an abused or neglected child. Section 45. Medical assistance. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with this Act shall be deemed eligible for medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code, and a hospital providing medical services to such an infant shall be reimbursed for those services in accordance with the payment methodologies authorized under that Code. In addition, for any day that a hospital has custody of a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with this Act and the infant does not require medically necessary care, the hospital shall be reimbursed by the Illinois Department of Public Aid at the general acute care per diem rate, in accordance with 89 Ill. Adm. Code 148.270(c). Section 50. Child-placing agency procedures. (a) The Department's State Central Registry must maintain a list of licensed child-placing agencies willing to take legal custody of newborn infants relinquished in accordance with this Act. The child-placing agencies on the list must be contacted by the Department on a rotating basis upon notice from a hospital that a newborn infant has been relinquished in accordance with this Act. (b) Upon notice from the Department that a newborn infant has been relinquished in accordance with this Act, a child-placing agency must accept the newborn infant if the agency has the accommodations to do so. The child-placing agency must seek an order for legal custody of the infant upon its acceptance of the infant. (c) In order to secure legal custody, the child-placing agency shall file a petition seeking custody, alleging that the newborn infant has been relinquished pursuant to this Act. This petition shall be filed in the circuit court in the division in which petitions for adoption would normally be heard. The standard of proof and rules of evidence in the nature of civil proceedings in this State are applicable to proceedings under this subsection. (d) If no licensed child-placing agency is able to accept the relinquished newborn infant, then the Department must assume
59 [April 4, 2001] responsibility for the infant as soon as practicable. (e) A custody order issued under subsection (b) shall remain in effect until a final adoption order based on the relinquished newborn infant's best interests is issued in accordance with this Act and the Adoption Act. (f) When possible, the child-placing agency must place a relinquished newborn infant in a prospective adoptive home. (g) The Department or child-placing agency must initiate proceedings to (i) terminate the parental rights of the relinquished newborn infant's known or unknown parents, (ii) appoint a guardian for the infant, and (iii) obtain consent to the infant's adoption in accordance with this Act no sooner than 60 days following the date of the initial relinquishment of the infant to the hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility. (h) Before filing a petition for termination of parental rights, the Department or child-placing agency must do the following: (1) Search its Putative Father Registry for the purpose of determining the identity and location of the putative father of the relinquished newborn infant who is, or is expected to be, the subject of an adoption proceeding, in order to provide notice of the proceeding to the putative father. At least one search of the Registry must be conducted, at least 30 days after the relinquished newborn infant's estimated date of birth; earlier searches may be conducted, however. Notice to any potential putative father discovered in a search of the Registry according to the estimated age of the relinquished newborn infant must be in accordance with Section 12a of the Adoption Act. (2) Verify with law enforcement officials, using the National Crime Information Center, that the relinquished newborn infant is not a missing child. Section 55. Petition for return of custody. (a) In compliance with Section 9 of the Adoption Act, if the parent returns to the hospital, emergency medical facility, or fire station to reclaim a child within 72 hours after the child's birth, the provisions of the Adoption Act shall apply, and the abandonment of the child shall not be considered a relinquishment under this Act. In cases in which the newborn infant was not born in a hospital or not born in the hospital where he or she was relinquished, however, the parent shall be required to undergo genetic testing to confirm that he or she is the biological parent of the child before the child can be released by the hospital. (b) A parent of a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with this Act may petition for the return of custody of the infant before the termination of parental rights with respect to the infant. (c) A parent of a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with this Act may petition for the return of custody of the infant by contacting the Department for the purpose of obtaining the name of the child-placing agency and then filing a petition for return of custody in the circuit court in which the proceeding for the termination of parental rights is pending. (d) If a petition for the termination of parental rights has not been filed by the Department or the child-placing agency, the parent of the relinquished newborn infant must contact the Department, which must notify the parent of the appropriate court in which the petition for return of custody must be filed. (e) The circuit court may hold the proceeding for the termination of parental rights in abeyance for a period not to exceed 60 days from the date that the petition for return of custody was filed without a showing of good cause. During that period: (1) The court shall order genetic testing to establish maternity or paternity, or both. (2) The Department shall conduct a child protective investigation and home study to develop recommendations to the court. (3) When indicated as a result of the Department's investigation and home study, further proceedings under the
[April 4, 2001] 60 Juvenile Court Act of 1987 as the court determines appropriate, may be conducted. However, relinquishment of a newborn infant in accordance with this Act does not render the infant abused, neglected, or abandoned solely because the newborn infant was relinquished to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility in accordance with this Act. (f) Failure to file a petition for the return of custody of a relinquished newborn infant before the termination of parental rights bars any future action asserting legal rights with respect to the infant unless the parent's act of relinquishment that led to the termination of parental rights involved fraud perpetrated against and not stemming from or involving the parent. No action to void or revoke the termination of parental rights of a parent of a newborn infant relinquished in accordance with this Act, including an action based on fraud, may be commenced after 12 months after the date that the newborn infant was initially relinquished to a hospital, fire station, or emergency medical facility. Section 60. Department's duties. The Department must implement a public information program to promote safe placement alternatives for newborn infants. The public information program must inform the public of the following: (1) The relinquishment alternative provided for in this Act, which results in the adoption of a newborn infant 72 hours old or less and which provides for the parent's anonymity if the parent so chooses. (2) The alternative of adoption through a public or private agency, in which the parent's identity may or may not be known to the agency, but is kept anonymous from the adoptive parents, if the birth parent so desires, and which allows the parent to be actively involved in the child's adoption plan. The public information program may include, but need not be limited to, the following elements: (i) Educational and informational materials in print, audio, video, electronic or other media. (ii) Establishment of a web site. (iii) Public service announcements and advertisements. (iv) Establishment of toll-free telephone hotlines to provide information. Section 65. Construction of Act. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to preclude the courts of this State from exercising their discretion to protect the health and safety of children in individual cases. The best interests and welfare of a child shall be a paramount consideration in the construction and interpretation of this Act. It is in the child's best interests that this Act be construed and interpreted so as not to result in extending time limits beyond those set forth in this Act. Section 70. Evaluation. (a) The Department shall collect and analyze information regarding the relinquishment of newborn infants and placement of children under this Act. Fire stations, emergency medical facilities, and medical professionals accepting and providing services to a newborn infant under this Act shall report to the Department data necessary for the Department to evaluate and determine the effect of this Act in the prevention of injury or death of newborn infants. Child-placing agencies shall report to the Department data necessary to evaluate and determine the effectiveness of these agencies in providing child protective and child welfare services to newborn infants relinquished under this Act. (b) The information collected shall include, but need not be limited to: the number of newborn infants relinquished; the outcome of care for the relinquished newborn infants; the number and disposition of cases of relinquished newborn infants subject to placement; the number of children accepted and served by child-placing agencies; and the services provided by child-placing agencies and the disposition of the cases of the children placed under this Act. (c) The Department shall submit a report by January 1, 2002, and
61 [April 4, 2001] on January 1 of each year thereafter, to the Governor and General Assembly regarding the prevention of injury or death of newborn infants and the effect of placements of children under this Act. The report shall include, but need not be limited to, a summary of collected data, an analysis of the data and conclusions regarding the Act's effectiveness, a determination whether the purposes of the Act are being achieved, and recommendations for changes that may be considered necessary to improve the administration and enforcement of this Act.

The conditions of the recognizance shall be such that if the defendant appears personally in court whenever ordered to do so within the year and provides and cares for such neglected and dependent child in such manner as to prevent a continuance or repetition of such state of dependency and neglect or as otherwise may be directed by the court then the recognizance shall be void, otherwise it shall be of full force and effect. If the court is satisfied by information and due proof under oath that at any time during the year the defendant has violated the terms of such order it may forthwith revoke the order and sentence him or her under the original conviction. Unless so sentenced, the defendant shall at the end of the year be discharged.

Conviction of any one of the following crimes shall create a presumption that a parent is depraved which can be overcome only by clear and convincing evidence: (1) first degree murder in violation of paragraph 1 or 2 of subsection (a) of Section 9-1 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or conviction of second degree murder in violation of subsection (a) of Section 9-2 of the Criminal Code of 1961 of a parent of the child to be adopted; (2) first degree murder or second degree murder of any child in violation of the Criminal Code of 1961; (3) attempt or conspiracy

There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is depraved if the parent has been criminally convicted of at least 3 felonies under the laws of this State or any other state, or under federal law, or the criminal laws of any United States territory; and at least one of these convictions took place within 5 years of the filing of the petition or motion seeking termination of parental rights. There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is depraved if that parent has been criminally convicted of either first or second degree murder of any person as defined in the Criminal Code of 1961 within 10 years of the filing date of the petition or motion to terminate parental rights. (j) Open and notorious adultery or fornication. (j-1) (Blank). (k) Habitual drunkenness or addiction to drugs, other than those prescribed by a physician, for at least one year immediately prior to the commencement of the unfitness proceeding. There is a rebuttable presumption that a parent is unfit under this subsection with respect to any child to which that parent gives birth where there is a confirmed test result that at birth the child's blood, urine, or meconium contained any amount of a controlled substance as defined in subsection (f) of Section 102 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act or metabolites of such substances, the presence of which in the newborn infant was not the result of medical treatment administered to the mother or the newborn infant; and the biological mother of this child is the biological mother of at least one other child who was adjudicated a neglected minor under subsection (c) of Section 2-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (l) Failure to demonstrate a reasonable degree of interest, concern or responsibility as to the welfare of a new born child during the first 30 days after its birth. (m) Failure by a parent (i) to make reasonable efforts to correct the conditions that were the basis for the removal of the child from the parent, or (ii) to make reasonable progress toward the return of the child to the parent within 9 months after an adjudication of neglected or abused minor under Section 2-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 or dependent minor under Section 2-4 of that Act, or (iii) to make reasonable progress toward the return of the child to the parent during any 9-month period after the end of the initial 9-month period following the adjudication of neglected or abused minor under Section 2-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 or dependent minor under Section 2-4 of that Act. If a service plan has been established as required under Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act to correct the conditions that were the basis for the removal of the child from the parent and if those services were available, then, for purposes of this Act, "failure to make reasonable progress toward the return of the child to the parent" includes (I) the parent's failure to substantially fulfill his or her obligations under the service plan and correct the conditions that brought the child into care within 9 months after the adjudication under Section 2-3 or 2-4 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 and (II) the parent's failure to substantially fulfill his or her obligations under the service plan and correct the conditions that brought the child into care during any 9-month period after the end of the initial 9-month period following the adjudication under Section 2-3 or 2-4 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. (m-1) Pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, a child has
69 [April 4, 2001] been in foster care for 15 months out of any 22 month period which begins on or after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1998 unless the child's parent can prove by a preponderance of the evidence that it is more likely than not that it will be in the best interests of the child to be returned to the parent within 6 months of the date on which a petition for termination of parental rights is filed under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. The 15 month time limit is tolled during any period for which there is a court finding that the appointed custodian or guardian failed to make reasonable efforts to reunify the child with his or her family, provided that (i) the finding of no reasonable efforts is made within 60 days of the period when reasonable efforts were not made or (ii) the parent filed a motion requesting a finding of no reasonable efforts within 60 days of the period when reasonable efforts were not made. For purposes of this subdivision (m-1), the date of entering foster care is the earlier of: (i) the date of a judicial finding at an adjudicatory hearing that the child is an abused, neglected, or dependent minor; or (ii) 60 days after the date on which the child is removed from his or her parent, guardian, or legal custodian. (n) Evidence of intent to forgo his or her parental rights, whether or not the child is a ward of the court, (1) as manifested by his or her failure for a period of 12 months: (i) to visit the child, (ii) to communicate with the child or agency, although able to do so and not prevented from doing so by an agency or by court order, or (iii) to maintain contact with or plan for the future of the child, although physically able to do so, or (2) as manifested by the father's failure, where he and the mother of the child were unmarried to each other at the time of the child's birth, (i) to commence legal proceedings to establish his paternity under the Illinois Parentage Act of 1984 or the law of the jurisdiction of the child's birth within 30 days of being informed, pursuant to Section 12a of this Act, that he is the father or the likely father of the child or, after being so informed where the child is not yet born, within 30 days of the child's birth, or (ii) to make a good faith effort to pay a reasonable amount of the expenses related to the birth of the child and to provide a reasonable amount for the financial support of the child, the court to consider in its determination all relevant circumstances, including the financial condition of both parents; provided that the ground for termination provided in this subparagraph (n)(2)(ii) shall only be available where the petition is brought by the mother or the husband of the mother. Contact or communication by a parent with his or her child that does not demonstrate affection and concern does not constitute reasonable contact and planning under subdivision (n). In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the ability to visit, communicate, maintain contact, pay expenses and plan for the future shall be presumed. The subjective intent of the parent, whether expressed or otherwise, unsupported by evidence of the foregoing parental acts manifesting that intent, shall not preclude a determination that the parent has intended to forgo his or her parental rights. In making this determination, the court may consider but shall not require a showing of diligent efforts by an authorized agency to encourage the parent to perform the acts specified in subdivision (n). It shall be an affirmative defense to any allegation under paragraph (2) of this subsection that the father's failure was due to circumstances beyond his control or to impediments created by the mother or any other person having legal custody. Proof of that fact need only be by a preponderance of the evidence. (o) Repeated or continuous failure by the parents, although physically and financially able, to provide the child with adequate food, clothing, or shelter. (p) Inability to discharge parental responsibilities supported by competent evidence from a psychiatrist, licensed
[April 4, 2001] 70 clinical social worker, or clinical psychologist of mental impairment, mental illness or mental retardation as defined in Section 1-116 of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code, or developmental disability as defined in Section 1-106 of that Code, and there is sufficient justification to believe that the inability to discharge parental responsibilities shall extend beyond a reasonable time period. However, this subdivision (p) shall not be construed so as to permit a licensed clinical social worker to conduct any medical diagnosis to determine mental illness or mental impairment. (q) The parent has been criminally convicted of aggravated battery, heinous battery, or attempted murder of any child. (r) The child is in the temporary custody or guardianship of the Department of Children and Family Services, the parent is incarcerated as a result of criminal conviction at the time the petition or motion for termination of parental rights is filed, prior to incarceration the parent had little or no contact with the child or provided little or no support for the child, and the parent's incarceration will prevent the parent from discharging his or her parental responsibilities for the child for a period in excess of 2 years after the filing of the petition or motion for termination of parental rights. (s) The child is in the temporary custody or guardianship of the Department of Children and Family Services, the parent is incarcerated at the time the petition or motion for termination of parental rights is filed, the parent has been repeatedly incarcerated as a result of criminal convictions, and the parent's repeated incarceration has prevented the parent from discharging his or her parental responsibilities for the child. (t) A finding that at birth the child's blood, urine, or meconium contained any amount of a controlled substance as defined in subsection (f) of Section 102 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, or a metabolite of a controlled substance, with the exception of controlled substances or metabolites of such substances, the presence of which in the newborn infant was the result of medical treatment administered to the mother or the newborn infant, and that the biological mother of this child is the biological mother of at least one other child who was adjudicated a neglected minor under subsection (c) of Section 2-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, after which the biological mother had the opportunity to enroll in and participate in a clinically appropriate substance abuse counseling, treatment, and rehabilitation program.

F. A person is available for adoption when the person is: (a) a child who has been surrendered for adoption to an agency and to whose adoption the agency has thereafter consented; (b) a child to whose adoption a person authorized by law, other than his parents, has consented, or to whose adoption no consent is required pursuant to Section 8 of this Act; (c) a child who is in the custody of persons who intend to adopt him through placement made by his parents; (c-1) a child for whom a parent has signed a specific consent pursuant to subsection O of Section 10; or (d) an adult who meets the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Act; or.

The taxes upon a mobile home, together with all penalties, interests, and costs that may accrue thereon, shall be a prior and first lien on the mobile home, superior to all other liens and encumbrances, from and including the first day of January in the year in which the taxes are imposed until the taxes are paid or until the mobile home is sold under this Act. (a) Foreclosure; mobile home forfeited for 2 or more years. A lien may be foreclosed, in the circuit court in the name of the People of the State of Illinois, whenever the taxes for 2 or more years on the same mobile home have been forfeited to the State. The mobile home may be sold under the order of the court by the person having authority to receive County taxes, with notice to interested parties and right of redemption from the sale, (except that the interest or any other amount to be paid upon redemption in addition to the amount for which the mobile home was sold shall be as provided herein), as provided in Sections 290 through 310 and 325. In any action to foreclose the lien for delinquent taxes brought by the People of the State of Illinois when the taxes for 2 or more years on the same mobile home have been forfeited to the State, service of process shall be made in the manner now prescribed by law. All owners, parties interested, and occupants of any mobile home against which tax liens are sought to be foreclosed shall be named as parties defendant, and shall be served in the manner and form as provided by law for the service of defendants in foreclosures of lien or encumbrances upon real estate. In case there are other parties with ownership interests in the mobile home, they shall be named in the notice under the designation "unknown owners". (b) Redemption interest. The interest to be paid upon redemption from all tax foreclosure sales held under this Section shall be: (1) If redeemed within 2 months from the date of the sale, 3% per month upon the amount for which the mobile home was sold for each of the first 2 months, or fraction thereof; (2) If redeemed between 2 and 6 months from the date of the sale, 12% of the amount of sale; (3) If redeemed between 6 and 12 months from the date of the sale, 24% of the amount of sale; (4) If redeemed between 12 and 18 months from the date of the sale, 36% of the amount of sale; (5) If redeemed between 18 and 24 months from the date of the sale, 48% of the amount of sale; (6) If redeemed after 24 months from the date of sale, the 48% for the 24 months plus interest at 6% per year thereafter. (c) Enforcement of lien from rents and profits. A lien under this Section may be enforced at any time after 6 months from the day the tax becomes delinquent out of the rents and profits of the mobile home accruing, or accrued and under the control or jurisdiction of a court. This process may be initiated by the county board of the county or by the corporate authorities of any taxing body entitled to receive any part of the delinquent tax, by petition in any pending suit having jurisdiction of the mobile home, or in any application for judgment and order of sale of mobile homes for delinquent taxes in which the mobile home is included, in the name of the People of the State of Illinois. The process, practice, and procedure under this subsection shall be the same as provided in the Civil Practice Law and the Supreme Court Rules adopted in relation to that Law, except that receivers may be
79 [April 4, 2001] appointed on not less than 3 days' written notice to holders of certificate of title or persons in possession. In all petitions the court shall have power to appoint the county collector to take possession of the mobile home only for the purpose of collecting the rents, issues and profits therefrom, and to apply them in satisfaction of the tax lien. When the taxes set forth in the petition are paid in full, the receiver shall be discharged. If the taxes described in the petition are reduced by the final judgment of a court, the county collector shall immediately refund all moneys collected by him or her as receiver over and above the taxes as reduced, and shall deduct that amount from the moneys thereafter distributed to the taxing bodies which received the tax revenue. In proceedings to foreclose the tax lien, or in petitions to enforce the lien, the amount due on the collector's books against the mobile home shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of taxes against the mobile home. When any taxes are collected, they shall be paid to the county collector, to be distributed by him or her to the authorities entitled to them. All sales made under this Section shall be conducted under the order and supervision of the court by the county collector. An action to foreclose the lien for delinquent taxes under this Act is an action in rem. Section 25. Preventing waste to mobile homes; receiver. During the pendency of any tax foreclosure proceeding and until the time to redeem the mobile home sold expires, or redemption is made, from any sale made under any judgment foreclosing the lien of taxes, no waste shall be committed or suffered on any of the mobile homes involved. The mobile home shall be maintained in good condition and repair. When violations of local building, health, or safety codes make the mobile home dangerous or hazardous, when taxes on the mobile home are delinquent for 2 years or more, or when in the judgment of the court it is to the best interest of the parties, the court may, upon the verified petition of any party to the proceeding, or the holder of the certificate of purchase, appoint a receiver for the mobile home with like powers and duties of receivers as in cases of foreclosure of mortgages or trust deeds. The court, in its discretion, may take any other action as may be necessary or desirable to prevent waste and maintain the mobile home in good condition and repair. Section 30. No receiver for homestead dwelling. No receiver shall be appointed under the provisions of Section 25 for mobile homes used as a family dwelling and occupied by the owner as a residence at the time the unpaid taxes became a lien and continuously thereafter. Section 35. Purchase and sale by county; distribution of proceeds. When any mobile home is delinquent, or is forfeited for each of 2 or more years, and is offered for sale under any of the provisions of this Act, the county board of the county in which the mobile home is located, in its discretion, if there are no other bids, may bid, or, in the case of a forfeited mobile home, may apply to purchase it, in the name of the county as trustee for all taxing districts having an interest in the mobile home's taxes for the nonpayment of which the mobile home is sold. The presiding officer of the county board, with the advice and consent of the board, may appoint on its behalf some officer or person to attend such sales and bid or, in the case of a forfeited mobile home, to apply to the county clerk to purchase. The county shall apply on the bid or purchase the unpaid taxes due upon the mobile home. No cash need be paid. The county shall take all steps necessary to acquire certificate of title to the mobile home and may manage and operate the mobile home. When a county, or other taxing district within the county, is a petitioner for a tax certificate of title, no filing fee shall be required. When a county or other taxing district within the county is the petitioner for a tax certificate of title, one petition may be filed including all mobile homes that are tax delinquent within the county or taxing district, and any publication made under Section 380 of this Act may combine all such mobile homes within a single notice. The notice shall list the street or common address, if known, of the mobile homes for informational
[April 4, 2001] 80 purposes. The county, as tax creditor and as trustee for other tax creditors, or other taxing districts within the county, shall not be required to allege and prove that all taxes that become due and payable after the sale to the county have been paid nor shall the county be required to pay the subsequently accruing taxes at any time, except when subsequent taxes are sold to another buyer. The county board or its designee may prohibit the county collector from including the mobile home in the tax sale of one or more subsequent years. The lien of taxes that become due and payable after a sale to a county shall merge in the certificate of title of the county, or other taxing district within the county, on the issuance of a certificate of title. The County may sell or assign the mobile home so acquired, or the certificate of purchase to it, to any party, including taxing districts. The proceeds of that sale or assignment, less all costs of the county incurred in the acquisition and sale or assignment of the mobile home, shall be distributed to the taxing districts in proportion to their respective interests therein. Under Sections 55 and 60, a County may bid or purchase only in the absence of other bidders. Section 40. Tax abatement after acquisition by a governmental unit. When any county or municipality acquires a mobile home through the foreclosure of a lien, through a judicial order, through the foreclosure of receivership certificate lien, or by acceptance of a certificate of title in lieu of foreclosing any lien against the mobile home, or when any county or other taxing district acquires a certificate of title for a mobile home under Section 35 or Sections 90 and 200, all due or unpaid mobile home taxes and existing liens for unpaid mobile home taxes imposed or pending under any law or ordinance of this State or any of its political subdivisions shall become null and void. Section 45. Notice to county officials; voiding of tax bills. The county board or corporate authorities of the county, or other taxing district acquiring a mobile home under Section 35 shall give written notice of the acquisition to the chief county assessment officer and the county collector and the county clerk of the county in which the mobile home is located, and request the voiding of the tax liens as provided in this Section. The notice shall describe the acquired mobile home by the vehicle identification number of the mobile home, if there is one. Upon receipt of the notice, the county collector and county clerk or county assessor, as appropriate shall void the current and all prior unpaid taxes on the records in their respective offices by entering the following statement upon their records for the mobile home: "Acquired by ... (name of county or municipality acquiring the mobile home under Section 35). Taxes due and unpaid on this mobile home ... (give vehicle identification number, if any, and location of the mobile home) ... are waived and null and void under Section 45 of the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Enforcement Act. The tax bills of this mobile home are hereby voided and liens for the taxes are extinguished." Section 50. Liability of owner; rights of tax purchaser. Nothing in Sections 40 and 45 shall relieve any owner liable for delinquent mobile home taxes under the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act from the payment of any delinquent taxes or liens which have become null and void under those Sections. Sections 45 and 50 shall not adversely affect the rights or interests of the holder of any bona fide certificate of purchase of the mobile home for delinquent taxes. However, upon acquisition of a mobile home by a governmental unit as set forth in Section 40, the rights and interests of the holder of any bona fide certificate of purchase of the mobile home for delinquent taxes shall be limited to a sale in error and a refund as provided under Section 255. Section 55. Published notice of annual application for judgment and sale; delinquent taxes. At any time after all taxes have become delinquent in any year, the Collector shall publish an advertisement, giving notice of the intended application for judgment and sale of the delinquent mobile homes. Except as provided below, the advertisement
81 [April 4, 2001] shall be in a newspaper published in the township or road district in which the mobile homes are located. If there is no newspaper published in the township or road district, then the notice shall be published in some newspaper in the same county as the township or road district, to be selected by the county collector. When the mobile home is in a city with more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, the advertisement may be in any newspaper published in the same county. When the mobile home is in an incorporated town which has superseded a civil township, the advertisement shall be in a newspaper published in the incorporated town or if there is no such newspaper, then in a newspaper published in the county. Section 60. Times of publication of notice. The advertisement shall be published once at least 10 days before the day on which judgment is to be applied for, and shall contain a list of the delinquent mobile homes upon which the taxes or any part thereof remain due and unpaid, the names of owners, if known, the vehicle identification number, the model year of the home, the square footage of the home, the total amount due, and the year or years for which they are due. In counties of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, advertisement shall include notice of the registration requirement for persons bidding at the sale. The collector shall give notice that he or she will apply to the circuit court on a specified day for judgment against the mobile homes for the taxes, and costs, and for an order to sell the mobile homes for the satisfaction of the amount due. The collector shall also give notice of a date within the next 5 business days after the date of application on which all the mobile homes for the sale of which an order is made will be exposed to public sale at a location within the county designated by the county collector, for the amount of taxes and cost due. The advertisement published according to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to be sufficient notice of the intended application for judgment and of the sale of mobile homes under the order of the court. Section 65. Costs of publishing delinquent list. A county shall pay for the printer for advertising delinquent lists for mobile homes, $0.40 per column line, to be taxed and collected as costs. The printer shall receive for printing the preamble, the descriptive headings, the affidavit, and any other matter accompanying the delinquent list, the sum of $0.40 per line, to be paid by the county. No costs except printer's fee shall be charged on any mobile homes forfeited to the State. Section 70. Sale of mobile homes previously ordered sold. A mobile home ordered sold by unexecuted judgments and orders of sale, previously entered, shall be included in the advertisement for sale only under the previous orders, and shall be sold in the order in which they appear in the delinquent list contained in the advertisement. At any time between annual sales the county collector also may advertise for sale any mobile homes subject to sale under orders previously entered and not executed for any reason. The advertisement and sale shall be regulated by the provisions regulating the annual advertisement and sale of delinquent mobile homes, as far as applicable. Section 75. Use of figures and letters in advertisement and other lists. In all advertisements for the sale of mobile homes for taxes, and in entries required to be made by the clerk of the court or other officer, letters, figures, or characters may be used to denote the year or the years for which the taxes were due and the amount of taxes, interest, and costs. The county collector may subsequently advertise and obtain judgment on mobile homes that have been omitted, or that have been erroneously advertised or described in the first advertisement. Division 3. Notice and publication provisions Section 80. Mailed notice of application for judgment and sale. Not less than 15 days before the date of application for judgment and sale of delinquent mobile homes, the county collector shall mail, by
[April 4, 2001] 82 registered or certified mail, a notice of the forthcoming application for judgment and sale to the person shown by the current collector's warrant book to be the party in whose name the taxes were last computed. The notice shall include the intended dates of application for judgment and sale and commencement of the sale, and a description of the mobile homes. The county collector must present proof of the mailing to the court along with the application for judgement. In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, a copy of this notice shall also be mailed by the county collector by registered or certified mail to any lienholder of record who annually requests a copy of the notice. The failure of the county collector to mail a notice or its non-delivery to the lienholder shall not affect the validity of the judgment. The collector shall collect $10 from the proceeds of each sale to cover the costs of registered or certified mailing and the costs of advertisement and publication. If a taxpayer pays the taxes on the mobile home after the notice of the forthcoming application for judgment and sale is mailed but before the sale is made, then the collector shall collect $10 from the taxpayer to cover the costs of registered or certified mailing and the costs of advertisement and publication. Section 85. Printer's error in advertisement. In all cases where there is a printer's error in the advertised list which prevents judgment from being obtained against any mobile home, or against all of the delinquent list, at the time stated in the advertisement, the printer shall lose the compensation allowed by this Act for those mobile homes containing errors, or for the entire list, as the case may be. Section 90. Scavenger sale. At the same time the county collector annually publishes the collector's annual sale advertisement under Sections 55 and 60, it is mandatory for the collector in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, and in other counties if the county board so orders by resolution, to publish an advertisement giving notice of the intended application for judgment and sale of all mobile homes upon which all or a part of the taxes for each of 2 or more years, including the current tax year, are delinquent as of the date of the advertisement. In no event may there be more than 2 consecutive years without a sale under this Section. The term delinquent also includes forfeitures. The county collector shall include in the advertisement and in the application for judgment and sale under this Section and Section 200 the total amount of all taxes upon those mobile homes which are delinquent as of the date of the advertisement. In lieu of a single annual advertisement and application for judgment and sale under this Section and Section 200, the county collector may, from time to time, beginning on the date of the publication of the annual sale advertisement and before August 1 of the next year, publish separate advertisements and make separate applications on eligible mobile homes described in one or more volumes of the delinquent list. The separate advertisements and applications shall, in the aggregate, include all the mobile homes which otherwise would have been included in the single annual advertisement and application for judgment and sale under this Section. The advertisement and application for judgment and sale shall be in the manner prescribed by this Act relating to the annual advertisement and application for judgment and sale of delinquent mobile homes. Division 3.5. Judgments and Sales Section 95. Time of applying for judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, all applications for judgment and order of sale for taxes on delinquent mobile homes shall be made during the month of October. In the 10 years next following the completion of a general reassessment of property in any county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, made under an order of the Department, applications for judgment and order of sale shall be made as soon as may be and on the day specified in the advertisement required by Section 55 and 60. If for any cause the court is not held on the day specified, the cause shall stand continued, and it shall be unnecessary to re-advertise the
83 [April 4, 2001] list or notice. Within 30 days after the day specified for the application for judgment the court shall hear and determine the matter. If judgment is rendered, the sale shall begin on the date within 5 business days specified in the notice as provided in Section 60. If the collector is prevented from advertising and obtaining judgment during the month of October, the collector may obtain judgment at any time thereafter; but if the failure arises by the county collector's not complying with any of the requirements of this Act, he or she shall be held on his or her official bond for the full amount of all taxes charged against him or her. Any failure on the part of the county collector shall not be allowed as a valid objection to the collection of any tax, or to entry of a judgment against any delinquent mobile homes included in the application of the county collector. Section 100. Annual tax judgment, sale, redemption, and forfeiture record. The collector shall transcribe into a record prepared for that purpose, and known as the annual tax judgment, sale, redemption, and forfeiture record, the list of delinquent mobile homes. The record shall contain all the information necessary to be recorded, at least 5 days before the day on which application for judgment is to be made. The record shall set forth the name of the owner, if known; a description of the mobile home, including the vehicle identification number, model year, and square footage; the year or years for which the tax is due; the valuation on which the tax is extended; the amount of the consolidated and other taxes; the costs; and the total amount of charges against the mobile home. The record shall also be ruled in columns to show the amount paid before entry of judgment; the amount of judgment and a column for remarks; the amount paid before sale and after entry of judgment; the amount of the sale; amount of interest or penalty; amount of cost; amount forfeited to the State; date of sale; name of purchaser; amount of sale and penalty; taxes of succeeding years; interest and when paid, interest and cost; total amount of redemption; date of redemption; when certificate of title executed; by whom redeemed; and a column for remarks or receipt of redemption money. The record shall be kept in the office of the county clerk. Section 105. Payment of delinquent tax before sale. Any person owning or claiming mobile homes upon which application for judgment is applied for may, in person or by agent, pay the taxes, and costs due, or in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the taxes, interest, and costs due, to the county collector at any time before sale. Section 110. Report of payments and corrections. On the day on which application for judgment on a delinquent mobile home is applied for, the collector, assisted by the county clerk, shall post all payments, compare and correct the list, and shall make and subscribe an affidavit, which shall be substantially in the following form: State of Illinois) ) ss. County of .......) I ...., collector of the county of ...., do solemnly swear (or affirm, as the case may be), that the foregoing is a true and correct list of the delinquent mobile homes within the county of ...., upon which I have been unable to collect the taxes (and interest and printer's fees, if any), charged thereon, as required by law, for the year or years therein set forth; and that the taxes, now remain due and unpaid, to the best of my knowledge and belief. Dated .......... The affidavit shall be entered at the end of the list, and signed by the collector. Section 115. Proceedings by court. Defenses to the entry of judgment against mobile homes included in the delinquent list shall be entertained by the court only when the defense includes a writing specifying the particular grounds for the objection. If any party objecting is entitled to a refund of all or any part of a tax paid, the court shall enter judgment accordingly, and also shall enter judgment for the taxes, interest, and penalties as appear
[April 4, 2001] 84 to be due. The judgment shall be considered as a several judgment against each mobile home, for each kind of tax included therein. The court shall direct the clerk to prepare and enter an order for the sale of the mobile home against which judgment is entered. Section 120. Form of court order. A judgment and order of sale shall be substantially in the following form: Whereas, due notice has been given of the intended application for a judgment against mobile homes, and no sufficient defense having been made or cause shown why judgment should not be entered against the mobile homes, for taxes, interest, penalties, and costs due and unpaid thereon for the year or years herein set forth, therefore the court hereby enters judgment against the above stated mobile homes, in favor of the People of the State of Illinois, for the amount of taxes, interest, penalties and costs due thereon. It is ordered by the court that the mobile homes be sold as the law directs. The order shall be signed by the judge. In all judicial proceedings of any kind, for the collection of taxes, all amendments may be made which, by law, could be made in any personal action pending in that court. Section 125. Cure of error or informality in computation of tax or collection of the taxes. No computation of the tax on a mobile home or charge for any of the taxes shall be considered illegal on account of any irregularity in the computation, or on account of the computation not having been made within the time required by law, or on account of the mobile home having been charged without name, or in any other name than that of the rightful owner. No error or informality in the proceedings of any of the officers connected with the computation or collection of the taxes, not affecting the substantial justice of the tax itself, shall vitiate or in any manner affect the tax or the computation thereof. Any irregularity or informality in the computation of the tax, or in any of the proceedings connected with the computation of the taxes, or any omission or defective act of any other officer or officers connected with the computation of the taxes, may be, in the discretion of the court, corrected, supplied and made to conform to law by the court, or by the person (in the presence of the court) from whose neglect or default it was occasioned. Division 4. Annual tax sale procedure Section 130. Entry of judgment for sale. If judgment is rendered against any mobile home for any tax, the county collector shall, after publishing a notice for sale in compliance with the requirements of Sections 55 or 60, proceed to offer the mobile home for sale pursuant to the judgment. However, in the case of an appeal from the judgment, if the party, when filing notice of appeal deposits with the county collector the amount of the judgment and costs, the collector shall not sell the mobile home until the appeal is disposed of. Section 135. Examination of record; certificate of correctness. On the day advertised for sale, the county clerk, assisted by the collector, shall examine the list upon which judgment has been entered and ascertain that all payments have been properly noted thereon. The county clerk shall make a certificate to be entered on the record, following the order of court that the record is correct, and that judgment was entered upon the mobile home therein mentioned for the taxes, interest, and costs due thereon. The certificate shall be attested by the circuit court clerk under seal of the court and shall be the process on which the mobile home or any interest therein shall be sold for taxes, interest, and costs due thereon, and may be substantially in the following form: State of Illinois County of ..... I, ...., clerk of the circuit court, in and for the county of ...., do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct record of the delinquent mobile home in the county, against which judgment and order of sale was duly entered in the circuit court for the county, on (insert date), for the amount of the taxes, interest, and costs due severally thereon as therein set forth, and that the judgment and order of court in relation thereto fully appears on the record. Dated (insert date).
85 [April 4, 2001] Section 140. County clerk assistance at sale. The county clerk, in person or by deputy, shall attend all sales for taxes, made by the collector, and shall assist at the sales. Section 145. Tax sale procedures.

However, in any county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the offer for sale shall be made between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. The collector's office shall be kept open during all hours in which the sale is in progress. The sale shall be continued from day to day, until all mobile homes in the delinquent list have been offered for sale. Section 150. Penalty bids. The person at the sale offering to pay the amount due on each mobile home for the least penalty percentage shall be the purchaser of that mobile home. No bid shall be accepted for a penalty exceeding 18% of the amount of the tax on a mobile home. Section 155. Letter of credit or bond in counties of 3,000,000 or more; registration in other counties. In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, no person shall make an offer to pay the amount due on any mobile home and the collector shall not accept or acknowledge an offer from any person who has not deposited with the collector, not less than 10 days prior to making such offer, an irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit or such other unconditional bond payable to the order of the collector in an amount not less than 1.5 times the amount of any tax due upon the mobile home. The collector may without notice draw upon the letter of credit or bond in the event payment of the amount due together with interest and costs thereon is not made forthwith by the person purchasing any mobile home. At all times during the sale, any person making an offer or offers to pay the amount or amounts due on any mobile homes shall maintain the letter of credit or bond with the collector in an amount not less than 1.5 times the amount due on the mobile homes which he or she has purchased and for which he or she has not paid. In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, unless the county board provides otherwise, no person shall be eligible to bid who did not register with the county collector at least 10 business days prior to the first day of sale authorized under Section 60. Section 160. Forfeited mobile home. Every mobile home offered at public sale, and not sold for want of bidders, shall be forfeited to the State of Illinois. However, when the court, county clerk, and county treasurer certify that the taxes on a forfeited mobile home equal or exceed the actual value of the mobile home, the county collector shall, on the receipt of such certificate, offer the mobile home for sale to the highest bidder, after first giving 10 days' notice, in the manner described in Sections 55 and 60, of the time and place of sale, together with a description of the mobile home to be offered. A certificate of purchase shall be issued to the purchaser at the sale as in other cases provided in this Act. The county collector shall receive credit in the settlement with the taxing bodies for which the tax was levied for the amount not realized by the sale. The amount received from the sale shall be paid by the collector, pro rata, to the taxing bodies entitled to it. Section 165. Record of sales and redemptions. When any mobile home is sold, the county clerk shall enter on the Tax Judgment, Sale, Redemption and Forfeiture Record, in the blank columns provided for that purpose, the name of the purchaser and the final bid. When any mobile home is redeemed from sale, the county clerk shall enter the name of the person redeeming, the redemption date, and the amount of redemption, in the proper column. Section 170. Record of forfeitures. All mobile homes forfeited to the State at the sale shall be noted on the Tax Judgment, Sale, Redemption and Forfeiture Record. Section 175. Payment for mobile homes purchased at tax sale; reoffering for sale. Except as otherwise provided below, the person
[April 4, 2001] 86 purchasing any mobile home shall be liable to the county for the amount due and shall forthwith pay to the county collector the amount charged on the mobile home. Upon failure to do so, the amount due shall be recoverable in a civil action brought in the name of the People of the State of Illinois in any court of competent jurisdiction. The person so purchasing shall be relieved of liability only by payment of the amount due together with interest and costs thereon, or if the mobile home is reoffered at the sale, purchased, and paid for. Reoffering of the mobile home for sale shall be at the discretion of the collector. The sale shall not be closed until payment is made or the mobile home again offered for sale. In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, only the taxes, interest, and costs as advertised in the sale shall be required to be paid forthwith. The taxes charged on the mobile home remaining due and unpaid, not included in the advertisement, shall be paid by the purchaser within 10 days after the sale, except that upon payment of the fee provided by law to the county clerk (which fee shall be deemed part of the costs of sale) the purchaser may make written application, within the 10 day period, to the county clerk for a statement of all taxes, interest, and costs due and an estimate of the cost of redemption of all forfeited taxes, which were not included in the advertisement. After obtaining such statement and estimate and an order on the county collector to receive the amount of forfeited taxes, if any, the purchaser shall pay to the county collector all the remaining taxes, interest, and costs, and the amount necessary to redeem the forfeited taxes. The county collector shall issue the purchaser a receipt therefor. Any delay in providing the statement or in accepting payment, and delivering receipt therefor, shall not be counted as a part of the 10 days. When the receipt of the collector is issued, a copy shall be filed with the county clerk and the county clerk shall include the amount shown in such receipt in the amount of the purchase price of the mobile home in the certificate of purchase. The purchaser then shall be entitled to a certificate of purchase. If a purchaser fails to complete his or her purchase as provided in this Section, the purchase shall become void, and be of no effect, but the collector shall not refund the amount paid in cash at the time of the sale, except in cases of sale in error. That amount shall be treated as a payment and distributed to the taxing bodies as other collections are distributed. The lien for taxes for the amount paid shall remain on the mobile home, in favor of the purchaser, his or her heirs or assigns, until paid with 5% interest per year on that amount from the date the purchaser paid it. The amount and fact of such ineffective purchase shall be entered in the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture record opposite the mobile home upon which the lien remains. No redemption shall be made without payment of this amount for the benefit of the purchaser, and no future sale of the mobile home shall be made except subject to the lien of such purchaser. Section 180. Automation fee. The county collector in all counties may assess to the purchaser of a mobile home for delinquent taxes an automation fee of not more than $10 per mobile home. In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants: (a) The fee shall be paid at the time of the purchase if the record keeping system used for processing the delinquent mobile home tax sales is automated or has been approved for automation by the county board. The fee shall be collected in the same manner as other fees or costs. (b) Fees collected under this Section shall be retained by the county treasurer in a fund designated as the Tax Sale Automation Fund. The fund shall be audited by the county auditor. The county board shall make expenditures from the fund to pay any costs related to the automation of mobile home tax collections and delinquent mobile home tax sales, including the cost of hardware, software, research and development, and personnel. Section 185. Certificate of purchase. The county clerk shall make out and deliver to the purchaser of any mobile home sold under Section 145, a certificate of purchase countersigned by the collector, describing the mobile home sold, including the vehicle identification
87 [April 4, 2001] number, the model year, and the square footage, the date of sale, the amount of taxes, interest, and cost for which it was sold, and that payment of the sale price has been made. If any person becomes the purchaser of more than one mobile home owned by one party or person, the purchaser may have the whole or one or more of them included in one certificate, but separate certificates shall be issued in all other cases. A certificate of purchase shall be assignable by endorsement. An assignment shall vest in the assignee or his or her legal representatives, all the right and title of the original purchaser. If the tax certificate is lost or destroyed, the county clerk shall issue a duplicate certificate upon written request and a sworn affidavit by the tax sale purchaser, or his or her assignee, that the tax certificate is lost or destroyed. The county clerk shall cause a notation to be made in the tax sale and judgment book that a duplicate certificate has been issued, and redemption payments shall be made only to the holder of the duplicate certificate. Section 190. Index of tax sale records. The county clerk may make an index of tax-sale records. The index shall be kept in the county clerk's office as a public record, open to inspection during office hours. Section 195. County clerk's books and records; prima facie evidence. The books and records of the county clerk, or copies thereof, certified by the clerk, shall be prima facie evidence to prove the sale of any mobile home for taxes, the redemption of the mobile home, or payment of taxes thereon. Division 5. Scavenger sales; procedures Section 200. Collector's scavenger sale. Upon the county collector's application under Section 90, to be known as the Scavenger Sale Application, the Court shall enter judgment for the taxes, interest, penalties, and costs as are included in the advertisement and appear to be due thereon after allowing an opportunity to object and a hearing upon the objections as provided in Section 115, and order those mobile homes sold by the county collector at public sale to the highest bidder for cash, notwithstanding the bid may be less than the full amount of taxes, interest, penalties, and costs for which judgment has been entered. (a) Conducting the sale; bidding. All mobile homes shall be offered for sale in consecutive order as they appear in the delinquent list. The minimum bid for any mobile home shall be $250 or one-half of the tax if the total liability is less than $500. The successful bidder shall immediately pay the amount of minimum bid to the County Collector in cash, by certified or cashier's check, by money order, or, if the successful bidder is a governmental unit, by a check issued by that governmental unit. If the bid exceeds the minimum bid, the successful bidder shall pay the balance of the bid to the county collector in cash, by certified or cashier's check, by money order, or, if the successful bidder is a governmental unit, by a check issued by that governmental unit by the close of the next business day. If the minimum bid is not paid at the time of sale or if the balance is not paid by the close of the next business day, then the sale is void and the minimum bid, if paid, is forfeited to the county general fund. In that event, the mobile home shall be reoffered for sale within 30 days of the last offering of mobile homes in regular order. The collector shall make available to the public a list of all mobile homes to be included in any reoffering due to the voiding of the original sale. The collector is not required to serve or publish any other notice of the reoffering of those mobile homes. In the event that any of the mobile homes are not sold upon reoffering, or are sold for less than the amount of the original voided sale, the original bidder who failed to pay the bid amount shall remain liable for the unpaid balance of the bid in an action under Section 175. Liability shall not be reduced where the bidder upon reoffering also fails to pay the bid amount, and in that event both bidders shall remain liable for the unpaid balance of their respective bids. A sale of mobile homes under this Section shall not be final until confirmed by the court. (b) Confirmation of sales. The county collector shall file his or
[April 4, 2001] 88 her report of sale in the court within 30 days after the date of sale of each mobile home. No notice of the county collector's application to confirm the sales shall be required except as prescribed by rule of the court. Upon confirmation, except in cases where the sale becomes void under Section 430, or in cases where the order of confirmation is vacated by the court, a sale under this Section shall extinguish the in rem lien of the taxes, for which judgment has been entered and a redemption shall not revive the lien. Confirmation of the sale shall in no event affect the owner's personal liability to pay the taxes, interest, and penalties as provided in this Act or prevent institution of a proceeding under Section 355 to collect any amount that may remain due after the sale. (c) Issuance of tax sale certificates. Upon confirmation of the sale, the county clerk and the county collector shall issue to the purchaser a certificate of purchase in the form prescribed by Section 185 as near as may be. A certificate of purchase shall not be issued to any person who is ineligible to bid at the sale or to receive a certificate of purchase under Section 205. (d) Scavenger Tax Judgment, Sale and Redemption Record; sale of parcels not sold. The county collector shall prepare a Scavenger Tax Judgment, Sale and Redemption Record. The county clerk shall write or stamp on the scavenger tax judgment, sale, forfeiture and redemption record opposite the description of any mobile home offered for sale and not sold, or not confirmed for any reason, the words "offered but not sold". The mobile homes that are offered for sale under this Section and not sold or not confirmed shall be offered for sale annually thereafter in the manner provided in this Section until sold. At any time between annual sales the county collector may advertise for sale any mobile homes subject to sale under judgments for sale previously entered under this Section and not executed for any reason. The advertisement and sale shall be regulated by the provisions of this Act as far as applicable. (e) Proceeding to tax certificate of title. The owner of the certificate of purchase shall give notice as required by Sections 365 through 390, and may extend the period of redemption as provided by Section 330. At any time within 5 months prior to expiration of the period of redemption from a sale under this Act, the owner of a certificate of purchase may file a petition and may obtain a tax certificate of title under Sections 390 through 410. All proceedings for the issuance of a tax certificate of title and all tax certificates of title for mobile homes sold under this Section shall be subject to Sections 390 through 410. This Section shall be liberally construed so that the certificates of title provided for in this Section convey merchantable title. (f) Redemptions from scavenger sales. Redemptions may be made from sales under this Section in the same manner and upon the same terms and conditions as redemptions from sales made under the county collector's annual application for judgment and order of sale, except that in lieu of penalty the person redeeming shall pay interest on that part of the amount for which the mobile home was sold equal to or less than the full amount of delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, and costs, included in the judgment and order of sale as follows: (1) If redeemed within the first 2 months from the date of the sale, 3% per month upon the amount of taxes, penalties, interest, and costs due for each of the first 2 months, or fraction thereof. (2) If redeemed at any time between 2 and 6 months from the date of the sale, 12% of the amount of taxes, penalties, interest, and costs due. (3) If redeemed at any time between 6 and 12 months from the date of the sale, 24% of the amount of taxes, penalties, interest, and costs due. (4) If redeemed at any time between 12 and 18 months from the date of the sale, 36% of the amount of taxes, penalties, interest, and costs due. (5) If redeemed at any time between 18 and 24 months from the
89 [April 4, 2001] date of the sale, 48% of the amount of taxes, penalties, interest, and costs due. (6) If redeemed after 24 months from the date of sale, the 48% provided for the 24 months together with interest at 6% per annum thereafter on the amount of taxes, penalties, interest, and costs due. The person redeeming shall not be required to pay any interest on any part of the amount for which the mobile home was sold that exceeds the full amount of delinquent taxes, penalties, interest, and costs included in the judgment and order of sale. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the amount required to be paid for redemption shall also include an amount equal to all delinquent taxes on the mobile home which taxes were delinquent at the time of sale. The delinquent taxes shall be apportioned by the county collector among the taxing districts in which the mobile home is situated in accordance with law. In the event that all moneys received from any sale held under this Section exceed an amount equal to all delinquent taxes on the mobile home sold, which taxes were delinquent at the time of sale, together with all publication and other costs associated with the sale, then, upon redemption, the county collector and the county clerk shall apply the excess amount to the cost of redemption. (g) Bidding by county or other taxing districts. Any taxing district may bid at a scavenger sale. The county board of the county in which mobile homes offered for sale under this Section are located may bid as trustee for all taxing districts having an interest in the taxes for the nonpayment of which the mobile homes are offered. The county shall apply on the bid the unpaid taxes due upon the mobile home and no cash need be paid. The county or other taxing district acquiring a tax sale certificate shall take all steps necessary to acquire certificate of title to the mobile home and may manage and operate the mobile home so acquired. When a county, or other taxing district within the county, is a petitioner for a tax certificate of title, no filing fee shall be required on the petition. The county as a tax creditor and as trustee for other tax creditors, or other taxing district within the county shall not be required to allege and prove that all taxes that become due and payable after the sale to the county have been paid. The county shall not be required to pay the subsequently accruing taxes at any time. Upon the written request of the county board or its designee, the county collector shall not offer the mobile home for sale at any tax sale subsequent to the sale of the mobile home to the county under this Section. The lien of taxes that become due and payable after a sale to a county shall merge in the certificate title of the county, or other taxing district, on the issuance of a certificate of title. The County may sell the mobile homes so acquired, or the certificate of purchase thereto, and the proceeds of the sale shall be distributed to the taxing districts in proportion to their respective interests therein. The presiding officer of the county board, with the advice and consent of the county board, may appoint some officer or person to attend scavenger sales and bid on its behalf. (h) Miscellaneous provisions. In the event that a mobile home sold at any such sale is not redeemed within the time permitted by law and a tax certificate of title is issued, all moneys that may be received from the sale of mobile homes in excess of the delinquent taxes, together with all publication and other costs associated with the sale, shall, upon petition of any interested party to the court that issued the tax certificate of title, be distributed by the county collector pursuant to order of the court among the persons having legal or equitable interests in the mobile home according to the fair value of their interests in the mobile home. Appeals may be taken from the orders and judgments entered under this Section as in other civil cases. The remedy herein provided is in addition to other remedies for the collection of delinquent taxes. Section 205. Scavenger sale; persons ineligible to bid or purchase.
[April 4, 2001] 90 (a) No person, except a unit of local government, shall be eligible to bid or receive a certificate of purchase at any sale under Section 200 unless that person has completed and delivered to the county clerk a true, accurate, and complete application for certificate of purchase which shall affirm that: (1) the person has not bid upon or applied to purchase any mobile home at the sale for a person who is the party or agent of the party who owns the mobile home or is responsible for the payment of the delinquent taxes; (2) the person is not, nor is he or she the agent for, the owner or party responsible for payment of the taxes on any mobile home which is located in the same county in which the sale is held and which is tax delinquent or forfeited for all or any part of each of 2 or more years; and (3) the person, although otherwise eligible to bid, has not either directly or through an agent twice during the same sale failed to complete a purchase by the immediate payment of the minimum bid or the payment of the balance of a bid within the time provided by Section 200.

No person, except a unit of local government, shall be eligible to bid or to receive a certificate of purchase who did not register with the county collector at least 5 business days in advance of the first day of the sale under Section 200. The collector may charge, for each registration, a fee of not more than $50 in counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants and not more than $100 in counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants. Registration shall be made upon such forms and according to such regulations as the county collector deems necessary in order to effect complete and accurate disclosure of the identity of all persons beneficially interested, directly or indirectly, in each sale under Section 200.

(b) The State's Attorney of the county in which the sale under Section 200 was conducted may bring an action in the name of the People of the State of Illinois against the person and, upon a finding of liability under this Section, the court shall enter judgment against the person in a sum equal to the full amount of delinquent or forfeited taxes, interest, penalties, and costs for which judgment for sale under Section 200 was entered, together with the costs of the action and reasonable attorney's fees. The proceeds of any judgment under this Section shall be paid into the county general fund. Section 225. Tax scavenger sale fraud; definitions. For purposes of Section 230: (1) "Ownership interest" means any title or other interest in a mobile home, the holder of which is considered to be the owner of the mobile home for purposes of taxation under Section 3 of the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act. (2) "Nonownership interest" means any interest in a mobile home other than a contingent interest and other than an ownership interest as defined in this Section, including without limitation an easement or lien. (3) "Mobile home" has the same meaning as defined in Section 1 of the mobile Home Local Services Tax Act. Section 230. Offense of scavenger sale fraud. A person commits the offense of tax sale fraud who knowingly: (a) enters a bid or authorizes or procures the entry of a bid on any mobile home offered for sale under Section 200, when the person in whose behalf the bid is made or authorized or procured has an ownership interest or nonownership interest in the mobile home, or where that person had such an interest on January 1 of any year for which delinquent taxes were included within the judgment for sale under Section 200; (b) acquires, or attempts to acquire, ownership of any certificate of purchase for a mobile home sold under Section 200, when the person in whose behalf such certificate of purchase is or would be acquired has an ownership interest or nonownership interest in the mobile home, or where that person had that interest on January 1 of any year for which delinquent taxes were included within the judgment for sale under Section 200; (c) conveys or assigns any certificate of purchase for a mobile home sold under Section 200 to any person who has an ownership interest or nonownership interest in the mobile home, or who had that interest on January 1 of any year for which delinquent taxes were included within the judgment for sale under Section 200; (d) makes a false statement in any application for certificate of purchase or registration form submitted under Sections 210 and 215; or (e) forfeits 2 or more bids at any one sale under Section 200 by failing to pay the minimum cash bid timely or by failing to pay the balance of the bid timely as required by Section 200. Tax sale fraud is a Class A misdemeanor. A subsequent conviction for tax sale fraud as defined in subsections (a) through (d) of this Section is a Class 4 felony. Division 6. Indemnity fund; sales in error Section 235. Creation of indemnity fund. (a) Each person purchasing any mobile home at a sale under this Act shall pay to the county collector, prior to the issuance of any certificate of purchase, a fee of $20 for each item purchased. A like sum shall be paid for each year that all or a portion of subsequent
93 [April 4, 2001] taxes are paid by the tax purchaser and posted to the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture record where the underlying certificate of purchase is recorded. (b) The amount paid prior to issuance of the certificate of purchase pursuant to subsection (a) shall be included in the purchase price of the mobile home in the certificate of purchase and all amounts paid under this Section shall be included in the amount required to redeem under Section 300. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of Section 240, all money received under subsection (a) shall be paid by the collector to the county treasurer of the county in which the mobile home is situated, for the purpose of an indemnity fund. The county treasurer, as trustee of that fund, shall invest all of that fund, principal and income, in his or her hands from time to time, if not immediately required for payments of indemnities under subsection (a) of Section 245, in investments permitted by the Illinois State Board of Investment under Article 22A of the Illinois Pension Act. The county collector shall report annually to the circuit court on the condition and income of the fund. The indemnity fund shall be held to satisfy judgments obtained against the county treasurer, as trustee of the fund. No payment shall be made from the fund, except upon a judgment of the court which ordered the issuance of a tax certificate of title. Section 240. Amount to be retained in indemnity fund. (a) The county board in each county shall determine the amount of the fund to be maintained in that county, which amount shall not be less than $50,000 and shall not be greater than $1,000,000 in counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, and not greater than $2,000,000 in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants. Any moneys accumulated by the county treasurer in excess of the amount so established, as trustee of the fund, shall be paid by him or her annually to the general fund of the county. (b) In counties in which a Tort Liability Fund is established, all sums of money received under subsection (a) of Section 235 may be deposited in the general fund of the county for general county governmental purposes, if the county board provides by ordinance that the indemnity required by this Section shall be provided by the Tort Liability Fund. Section 245. Payments from Indemnity Fund. (a) Any owner of a mobile home sold under any provision of this Act who sustains loss or damage by reason of the issuance of a tax certificate of title under Section 360 or 400 and who is barred or is in any way precluded from bringing an action for the recovery of the mobile home shall have the right to indemnity for the loss or damage sustained, limited as follows: (1) An owner who resided in a mobile home on the last day of the period of redemption and who is equitably entitled to compensation for the loss or damage sustained has the right to indemnity. An equitable indemnity award shall be limited to the fair cash value of the mobile home as of the date the tax certificate of title was issued less any liens on the mobile home, and the award will not exceed $99,000. The court shall liberally construe this equitable entitlement standard to provide compensation wherever, in the discretion of the court, the equities warrant the action. An owner of a mobile home who requests an award in excess of $99,000 must prove that the loss of his or her mobile home was not attributable to his or her own fault or negligence before an award in excess of $99,000 will be granted. (2) An owner who sustains the loss or damage of any mobile home occasioned by reason of the issuance of a tax certificate of title, without fault or negligence of his or her own, has the right to indemnity limited to the fair cash value of the mobile home less any liens on the mobile home. In determining the existence of fault or negligence, the court shall consider whether the owner exercised ordinary reasonable diligence under all of the relevant circumstances.
[April 4, 2001] 94 (3) In determining the fair cash value of a mobile home less any liens on the mobile home, the fair cash value shall be reduced by the principal amount of all taxes paid by the tax purchaser or his or her assignee before the issuance of the tax certificate of title. (4) If an award made under paragraph (1) or (2) is subject to a reduction by the amount of an outstanding lien on the mobile home, other than the principal amount of all taxes paid by the tax purchaser or his or her assignee before the issuance of the tax certificate of title and the petitioner would be personally liable to the lienholder for all or part of that reduction amount, the court shall order an additional indemnity award to be paid directly to the lienholder sufficient to discharge the petitioner's personal liability. The court, in its discretion, may order the joinder of the lienholder as an additional party to the indemnity action. (b) Indemnity fund; subrogation. (1) Any person claiming indemnity hereunder shall petition the court which ordered the tax certificate of title to issue, shall name the county treasurer, as trustee of the indemnity fund, as defendant to the petition, and shall ask that judgment be entered against the county treasurer, as trustee, in the amount of the indemnity sought. The provisions of the Civil Practice Law shall apply to proceedings under the petition, except that neither the petitioner nor county treasurer shall be entitled to trial by jury on the issues presented in the petition. The court shall liberally construe this Section to provide compensation wherever in the discretion of the Court the equities warrant such action. (2) The county treasurer, as trustee of the indemnity fund, shall be subrogated to all parties in whose favor judgment may be rendered against him or her, and by third party complaint may bring in as a defendant any person, other than the tax certificate of title grantee and its successors in title, not a party to the action who is or may be liable to him or her, as subrogee, for all or part of the petitioner's claim against him or her. (c) Any contract involving the proceeds of a judgment for indemnity under this Section, between the tax certificate of title grantee or its successors in title and the indemnity petitioner or his or her successors, shall be in writing. In any action brought under this Section, the Collector shall be entitled to discovery regarding, but not limited to, the following: (1) the identity of all persons beneficially interested in the contract, directly or indirectly, including at least the following information: the names and addresses of any natural persons; the place of incorporation of any corporation and the names and addresses of its shareholders unless it is publicly held; the names and addresses of all general and limited partners of any partnership; the names and addresses of all persons having an ownership interest in any entity doing business under an assumed name, and the county in which the assumed business name is registered; and the nature and extent of the interest in the contract of each person identified; (2) the time period during which the contract was negotiated and agreed upon, from the date of the first direct or indirect contact between any of the contracting parties to the date of its execution; (3) the name and address of each natural person who took part in negotiating the contract, and the identity and relationship of the party that the person represented in the negotiations; and (4) the existence of an agreement for payment of attorney's fees by or on behalf of each party. Any information disclosed during discovery may be subject to protective order as deemed appropriate by the court. The terms of the contract shall not be used as evidence of value. Section 250. Indemnity fund fraud. (a) A person commits the offense of indemnity fund fraud when that person knowingly:
95 [April 4, 2001] (1) offers or agrees to become a party to, or to acquire an interest in, a contract involving the proceeds of a judgment for indemnity under Section 245 before the end of the period of redemption from the tax sale to which the judgment relates; (2) fraudulently induces a party to forego bringing an action for the recovery of the mobile home; (3) makes a deceptive misrepresentation during the course of negotiating an agreement under subsection (c) of Section 245; or (4) conspires to violate any of the provisions of this subsection. (b) Commission of any one act described in subsection (a) is a Class A misdemeanor. Commission of more than one act described in subsection (a) during a single course of conduct is a Class 4 felony. A second or subsequent conviction for violation of any portion of this Section is a Class 4 felony. (c) The State's Attorney of the county in which a judgment for indemnity under Section 245 is entered may bring a civil action in the name of the People of the State of Illinois against a person who violates paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of subsection (a). Upon a finding of liability in the action the court shall enter judgment in favor of the People in a sum equal to 3 times the amount of the judgment for indemnity, together with costs of the action and reasonable attorney's fees. The proceeds of any judgment under this subsection shall be paid into the general fund of the county. Section 255. Sales in error. (a) When, upon application of the county collector, the owner of the certificate of purchase, or a municipality that owns or has owned the mobile home ordered sold, it appears to the satisfaction of the court that ordered the mobile home sold that any of the following subsections are applicable, the court shall declare the sale to be a sale in error: (1) the mobile home was not subject to taxation, (1.5) the mobile home has been moved to a different location, (2) the taxes had been paid prior to the sale of the mobile home, (3) there is a double computation of the tax, (4) the description is void for uncertainty, (5) the assessor, chief county assessment officer, board of review, board of appeals, or other county official has made an error (other than an error of judgment as to the value of any mobile home), (5.5) the owner of the mobile home had tendered timely and full payment to the county collector that the owner reasonably believed was due and owing on the mobile home, and the county collector did not apply the payment to the mobile home; provided that this provision applies only to mobile home owners, not their agents or third-party payors, or (6) prior to the tax sale a voluntary or involuntary petition has been filed by or against the legal or beneficial owner of the mobile home requesting relief under the provisions of 11 U.S.C. Chapter 7, 11, 12, or 13. (b) When, upon application of the owner of the certificate of purchase only, it appears to the satisfaction of the court that ordered the mobile home sold that any of the following subsections are applicable, the court shall declare the sale to be a sale in error: (1) A voluntary or involuntary petition under the provisions of 11 U.S.C. Chapter 7, 11, 12, or 13 has been filed subsequent to the tax sale and prior to the issuance of the tax certificate of title. (2) The mobile home sold has been substantially destroyed or rendered uninhabitable or otherwise unfit for occupancy subsequent to the tax sale and prior to the issuance of the tax certificate of title. If a sale is declared to be a sale in error, the county clerk shall make entry in the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture record, that the mobile home was erroneously sold, and the county collector
[April 4, 2001] 96 shall, on demand of the owner of the certificate of purchase, refund the amount paid, pay any interest and costs as may be ordered under Sections 260 through 280, and cancel the certificate so far as it relates to the mobile home. The county collector shall deduct from the accounts of the appropriate taxing bodies their pro rata amounts paid. Section 260. Interest on refund. (a) In those cases which arise solely under grounds set forth in Section 255 or 395, and in no other cases, the court which orders a sale in error shall also award interest on the refund of the amount paid for the certificate of purchase, together with all costs paid by the owner of the certificate of purchase or his or her assignor which were posted to the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture record, except as otherwise provided in this Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, interest shall be awarded and paid at the rate of 1% per month from the date of sale to the date of payment to the tax purchaser, or in an amount equivalent to the penalty interest which would be recovered on a redemption at the time of payment pursuant to the order for sale in error, whichever is less. (b) Interest on the refund to the owner of the certificate of purchase shall not be paid (i) in any case in which the mobile home sold has been substantially destroyed or rendered uninhabitable or otherwise unfit for occupancy, (ii) when the sale in error is made pursuant to Section 395, or (iii) in any other case where the court determines that the tax purchaser had actual knowledge prior to the sale of the grounds on which the sale is declared to be erroneous. (c) When the county collector files a petition for sale in error under Section 255 and mails a notice thereof by certified or registered mail to the tax purchaser, any interest otherwise payable under this Section shall cease to accrue as of the date the petition is filed, unless the tax purchaser agrees to an order for sale in error upon the presentation of the petition to the court. Notices under this subsection may be mailed to the original owner of the certificate of purchase, or to the latest assignee, if known. When the owner of the certificate of purchase contests the collector's petition solely to determine whether the grounds for sale in error are such as to support a claim for interest, the court may direct that the principal amount of the refund be paid to the owner of the certificate of purchase forthwith. If the court thereafter determines that a claim for interest lies under this Section, it shall award such interest from the date of sale to the date the principal amount was paid. Section 265. Refund of other taxes paid by holder of certificate of purchase. The court which orders a sale in error shall order the refund of all other taxes paid by the owner of the certificate of purchase or his or her assignor which were validly posted to the tax judgment, sale redemption and forfeiture record subsequent to the tax sale, together with interest on the other taxes under the same terms as interest is otherwise payable under Section 260. The interest under this Section shall be calculated at the rate of 1% per month from the date the other taxes were paid and not from the date of sale. The collector shall take credit in settlement of his or her accounts for the refund of the other taxes as in other cases of sale in error under Section 255. Section 270. Orders for payment of interest; counties of 3,000,000 or more. In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, all orders for payment of interest or costs under Sections 260 and 265 shall be paid as provided in Sections 275, 280, and 285. In all other counties, the county treasurer may determine in his or her discretion whether payment of interest and costs shall be made as provided in Sections 275, 280, and 285. In the other counties, where the treasurer determines not to make payment as provided in those Sections, the treasurer shall pay any interest or costs awarded under this Section pro rata from those accounts where the principal refund of the tax sale purchase price under Section 255 is taken. Section 275. Fund for payment of interest. In counties of under 3,000,000 inhabitants, the county board may impose a fee of up to $10, which shall be paid to the county collector, upon each person
97 [April 4, 2001] purchasing any mobile home at a sale held under this Act, prior to the issuance of any certificate of purchase. Each person purchasing any mobile home at a sale held under this Act in a county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants shall pay to the county collector, prior to the issuance of any certificate of purchase, a fee of $15 for each item purchased. That amount shall be included in the price paid for the certificate of purchase and the amount required to redeem under Section 300. All sums of money received under this Section shall be paid by the collector to the county treasurer of the county in which the mobile home is situated for deposit into a special fund. It shall be the duty of the county treasurer, as trustee of the fund, to invest the principal and income of the fund from time to time, if not immediately required for payments under this Section, in investments as are authorized by Sections 3-10009 and 3-11002 of the Counties Code. The fund shall be held to satisfy orders for payment of interest and costs obtained against the county treasurer as trustee of the fund. No payment shall be made from the fund except by order of the court declaring a sale in error under Section 255. Any moneys accumulated in the fund by the county treasurer in excess of $500,000 shall be paid each year prior to the commencement of the annual tax sale, first to satisfy any existing unpaid judgments entered pursuant to Section 235, and any funds remaining thereafter shall be paid to the general fund of the county. Section 280. Claims for interest and costs. Any person claiming interest or costs under Sections 260 through 275 shall include the claim in his or her petition for sale in error under Section 255. Any claim for interest or costs which is not included in the petition is waived, except interest or costs may be awarded to the extent permitted by this Section upon a sale in error petition filed by the county collector, without requiring a separate filing by the claimant. Any order for interest or costs upon the petition for sale in error shall be deemed to be entered against the county treasurer as trustee of the fund created by Section 275. The fund shall be the sole source for payment and satisfaction of orders for interest or costs, except as otherwise provided in this Section. If the court determines that the fund has been depleted and will not be restored in time to pay an award with reasonable promptness, the court may authorize the collector to pay the interest portion of the award pro rata from those accounts where the principal refund of the tax sale purchase price under Section 255 is taken. Section 285. Recovery of amount of tax paid by purchaser at erroneous sale. In addition to all other remedies, when the purchaser or assignee of a certificate of purchase that has been declared an erroneous sale, has paid any tax upon the mobile home sold, which was not paid by the owner of the mobile home and was not refunded to the tax purchaser or assignee by the county, the purchaser or assignee may recover from the owner the amount he or she paid, with 10% interest, as money paid for the owner's use. Division 7. Redemption procedures and notice requirements Section 290. Right of redemption. (a) Mobile homes sold under this Act may be redeemed only by those persons having a right of redemption as defined in this Section and only in accordance with this Act. A right to redeem a mobile home from any sale under this Act shall exist in any owner or person interested in that mobile home whether or not the interest in the mobile home sold is recorded or filed. Any redemption shall be presumed to have been made by or on behalf of the owners and persons interested in the mobile home and shall inure to the benefit of the persons having the certificate of title to the mobile home redeemed, subject to the right of the person making the redemption to be reimbursed by the persons benefited. (b) Any person who desires to redeem and does not desire to contest the validity of a petition for tax certificate of title may redeem pursuant to this Section and related Sections of this Act without submitting a written protest under Section 21-380.
[April 4, 2001] 98 Section 295. Period of redemption. Mobile homes sold under this Act may be redeemed on or before the expiration of 2 years and 6 months from the date of sale. If, however, the court that ordered the mobile home sold, upon the verified petition of the holder of the certificate of purchase brought within 4 months from the date of sale, finds and declares that the mobile home is abandoned, then the court may order that the mobile home may be redeemed at any time on or before the expiration of 1 year from the date of sale. Notice of the hearing on a petition to declare the mobile home abandoned shall be given to the owner or owners of the mobile home and to the person in whose name the taxes were last assessed, by certified or registered mail sent to their last known addresses at least 5 days before the date of the hearing. If the period of redemption has been extended by the certificate holder as provided in Section 330, the mobile home may be redeemed on or before the extended redemption date. Section 300. Amount of redemption. Any person desiring to redeem shall deposit an amount specified in this Section with the county clerk of the county in which the mobile home is situated, in legal money of the United States, or by cashier's check, certified check, post office money order or money order, issued by a financial institution insured by an agency or instrumentality of the United States, payable to the county clerk of the proper county. The deposit shall be deemed timely only if actually received in person at the county clerk's office prior to the close of business as defined in Section 3-2007 of the Counties Code on or before the expiration of the period of redemption or by United States mail with a post office cancellation mark dated not less than one day prior to the expiration of the period of redemption. The deposit shall be in an amount equal to the total of the following: (a) the certificate amount, which shall include all tax principal, interest, and penalties paid by the tax purchaser together with costs and fees of sale and fees paid under Sections 235 and 260 through 280; (b) the accrued penalty, computed through the date of redemption as a percentage of the certificate amount, as follows: (1) if the redemption occurs on or before the expiration of 6 months from the date of sale, the certificate amount times the penalty bid at sale; (2) if the redemption occurs after 6 months from the date of sale, and on or before the expiration of 12 months from the date of sale, the certificate amount times 2 times the penalty bid at sale; (3) if the redemption occurs after 12 months from the date of sale and on or before the expiration of 18 months from the date of sale, the certificate amount times 3 times the penalty bid at sale; (4) if the redemption occurs after 18 months from the date of sale and on or before the expiration of 24 months from the date of sale, the certificate amount times 4 times the penalty bid at sale; (5) if the redemption occurs after 24 months from the date of sale and on or before the expiration of 30 months from the date of sale, the certificate amount times 5 times the penalty bid at sale; (6) if the redemption occurs after 30 months from the date of sale and on or before the expiration of 36 months from the date of sale, the certificate amount times 6 times the penalty bid at sale. (c) The total of all taxes, accrued interest on those taxes, and costs charged in connection with the payment of those taxes, which have been paid by the tax certificate holder on or after the date those taxes became delinquent together with 12% penalty on each amount so paid for each year or portion thereof intervening between the date of that payment and the date of redemption. In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, however, a tax certificate holder may not pay the subsequent tax for any year, nor shall any tender of such a payment be accepted, until the
99 [April 4, 2001] subsequent tax has become delinquent or until after the holder of the certificate of purchase has filed a petition for a tax certificate of title under Section 390. The person redeeming shall also pay the amount of interest charged on the subsequent tax and paid as a penalty by the tax certificate holder. (d) Any amount paid to redeem a forfeiture occurring subsequent to the tax sale together with 12% penalty thereon for each year or portion thereof intervening between the date of the forfeiture redemption and the date of redemption from the sale. (e) Any amount paid by the certificate holder for redemption of a subsequently occurring tax sale. (f) All fees paid to the county clerk under Section 22-5. (g) All fees paid to the circuit clerk and the sheriff or coroner in connection with the filing of the petition for tax certificate of title and service of notices under Sections 375 through 390 and 400 in addition to (1) a fee of $35 if a petition for tax certificate of title has been filed, which fee shall be posted to the tax judgement, sale, redemption, and forfeiture record, to be paid to the purchaser or his or her assignee; (2) a fee of $4 if a notice under Section 365 has been filed, which fee shall be posted to the tax judgment, sale, redemption, and forfeiture record, to be paid to the purchaser or his or her assignee; and (3) all costs paid to record a lis pendens notice in connection with filing a petition under this Act. The fees in (1) and (2) of this paragraph (g) shall be exempt from the posting requirements of Section 305. (h) All fees paid for publication of notice of the tax sale in accordance with Section 380. (i) All sums paid to any city, village or incorporated town for reimbursement under Section 395. (j) All costs and expenses of receivership under Section 350, to the extent that these costs and expenses exceed any income from the mobile home in question, if the costs and expenditures have been approved by the court appointing the receiver and a certified copy of the order or approval is filed and posted by the certificate holder with the county clerk. Only actual costs expended may be posted on the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture record. Section 305. Posting requirements. Except as otherwise provided in Section 300, the county clerk shall not be required to include amounts described in paragraphs (c) through (j) of Section 300 in the payment for redemption or the amount received for redemption, nor shall payment thereof be a charge on the mobile home sold for taxes, unless the tax certificate holder has filed and posted with the county clerk prior to redemption and in any event not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the period of redemption or extended period of redemption an official, original or duplicate receipt for payment of those fees, costs, and expenses permitted under paragraphs (c) through (j) of Section 300. Section 310. Deficiency judgment. If the sold mobile home is not redeemed, a deficiency judgment shall not be taken on account of the receivership proceedings against the owner or owners of the mobile home. In the event that income to the receiver exceeds expenditures, net income is to be deposited with the clerk of the court ordering the tax sale and shall be distributed as determined by the court ordering the appointment of the receiver. Section 315. Redemption of a forfeited mobile home. Except as otherwise provided in Section 320, any mobile home forfeited to the State may be redeemed or sold in the following manner: When a mobile home has been forfeited for delinquent taxes, the person desiring to redeem shall apply to the county clerk who shall order the county collector to receive from the person the amount of the forfeited taxes, statutory costs, interest prior to forfeiture, printer's fees due thereon and, in addition, forfeiture interest at a rate of 12% per year or fraction thereof. Upon presentation of the county clerk's order to the county collector, the collector shall
[April 4, 2001] 100 receive the amount due on account of forfeited taxes and give the person duplicate receipts, setting forth a description of the mobile home and amount received. One of the receipts shall be countersigned by the county clerk and, when so countersigned, shall be evidence of the redemption of the mobile home. The receipt shall not be valid until it is countersigned by the county clerk. The other receipt shall be filed by the county clerk in his or her office, and the clerk shall make a proper entry of the redemption of the mobile home on the appropriate books in his or her office and charge the amount of the redemption to the county collector. Section 320. Partial redemption of forfeited mobile homes. In counties with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, when forfeited taxes on a mobile home remain unpaid for one or more years, it is permissible to pay to the county or township collector, one or more full years of back or forfeited taxes, interest prior to forfeiture, statutory costs, printers' fees, and forfeiture interest or penalties, attaching thereto beginning with the earliest year for which the taxes are unpaid. In no case shall payment on account of a designated years' taxes be accepted unless the sums due for prior years have first been paid or are tendered at the same time. Any person seeking to make payments under this Section shall notify the county clerk of his or her intention in person or by agent or in writing. If notice is given while the collector has possession of the collector's books, the county clerk shall prepare an addendum to be presented to the collector and attached, by the collector, to the collector's books on which the description of the mobile home involved appears, which addendum shall become a part of the collector's books. If notice is given after the tax sale, but before receipt by the county collector of the current collector's books, the county clerk shall prepare an addendum and attach it to the Tax Judgment, Sale, Redemption, and Forfeiture record, on which the mobile home involved appears, which addendum shall become a part of that record. The addendum shall show separately, for the year or years to be paid, (a) the amount of back or forfeited taxes, (b) interest prior to forfeiture, (c) statutory costs and printers' fees, and (d) forfeiture interest or penalties attaching thereto. The county clerk shall, at the same time, order the county or town collector to receive from the person the amount due on account of the taxes, for the year or years determined as provided above, of the back or forfeited taxes, interest prior to forfeiture, statutory costs, printers' fees, and forfeiture interest or penalties to date attaching to the back or forfeited taxes. Upon presentation of the order from the county clerk, and receipt of the addendum if the books are in the collector's possession, the collector shall receive the sum tendered on account of the taxes for the year or years designated, and make out duplicate receipts therefor. The receipts shall set forth a description of the mobile home, the year or years paid, and the total amount received. One copy of the receipt shall be given the person making payment and, when countersigned by the county clerk, shall be evidence of the payment therein set forth. The second copy shall be filed by the county clerk in his or her office. If the collector's books are in the collector's possession, he or she shall enter the payment on the current collector's books or addendum, and he or she shall also enter any unpaid balance on the Tax Judgment, Sale, Redemption and Forfeiture record at the proper time. After the tax sale and before receipt by the county collector of the current collector's books, the county clerk shall make a proper entry on the Tax Judgment, Sale, Redemption and Forfeiture record, and shall charge the county collector with the sum received. The county clerk shall also enter any unpaid balance on the county collector's books at the proper time. The county collector shall distribute all sums received as required by law. Section 325. Redemption under protest. Any person redeeming under this Section at a time subsequent to the filing of a petition under Section 390 or 360, who desires to preserve his or her right to defend against the petition for a tax certificate of title, shall accompany
101 [April 4, 2001] the deposit for redemption with a writing substantially in the following form: Redemption Under Protest Tax Deed Case No. ..................................................... Vol. No. .............................................................. Mobile Home Vehicle Identification No. (or other unique description)...................................... Original Amount of Tax $............................................... Amount Deposited for Redemption $...................................... Name of Petitioner..................................................... Tax Year Included in Judgment.......................................... Date of Sale........................................................... Expiration Date of the Period of Redemption............................ To the county clerk of ........ County: This redemption is made under protest for the following reasons: (here set forth and specify the grounds relied upon for the objection) Name of party redeeming................................................ Address................................................................ Any grounds for the objection not specified at the time of the redemption under protest shall not be considered by the court. The specified grounds for the objections shall be limited to those defenses as would provide sufficient basis to deny entry of an order for issuance of a tax certificate of title. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize or revive any objection to the tax sale or underlying taxes which was estopped by entry of the order for sale as set forth in Section 420. The person protesting shall present to the county clerk 3 copies of the written protest signed by himself or herself. The clerk shall write or stamp the date of receipt upon the copies and sign them. He or she shall retain one of the copies, another he or she shall deliver to the person making the redemption, who shall file the copy with the clerk of the court in which the tax certificate of title petition is pending, and the third he or she shall forward to the petitioner named therein. The county clerk shall enter the redemption as provided in Section 165 and shall note the redemption under protest. The redemption money so deposited shall not be distributed to the holder of the certificate of purchase but shall be retained by the county clerk pending disposition of the petition filed under Section 390. Redemption under protest constitutes the appearance of the person protesting in the proceedings under Sections 390 through 412 and that person shall present a defense to the petition for tax certificate of title at the time which the court directs. Failure to appear and defend shall constitute a waiver of the protest and the court shall order the redemption money distributed to the holder of the certificate of purchase upon surrender of that certificate and shall dismiss the proceedings. When the party redeeming appears and presents a defense, the court shall hear and determine the matter. If the defense is not sustained, the court shall order the protest stricken and direct the county clerk to distribute the redemption money upon surrender of the certificate of purchase and shall order the party redeeming to pay the petitioner reasonable expenses, actually incurred, including the cost of withheld redemption money, together with a reasonable attorneys fee. Upon a finding sustaining the protest in whole or in part, the court may declare the sale to be a sale in error under Section 255 or Section 405, and shall direct the county clerk to return all or part of the redemption money or deposit to the party redeeming. Section 330. Extension of period of redemption. The purchaser or his or her assignee of a mobile home sold for nonpayment of taxes may extend the period of redemption at any time before the expiration of the original period of redemption, or thereafter prior to the expiration of any extended period of redemption, for a period which will expire not later than 3 years from the date of sale, by filing with the county clerk of the county in which the mobile home is located a written notice to that effect describing the mobile home, stating the
[April 4, 2001] 102 date of the sale and specifying the extended period of redemption. If prior to the expiration of the period of redemption or extended period of redemption a petition for tax certificate of title has been filed under Section 390, upon application of the petitioner, the court shall allow the purchaser or his or her assignee to extend the period of redemption after expiration of the original period or any extended period of redemption, provided that any extension allowed will expire not later than 3 years from the date of sale. If the period of redemption is extended, the purchaser or his or her assignee must give the notices provided for in Section 370 at the specified times prior to the expiration of the extended period of redemption by causing a sheriff (or if he or she is disqualified, a coroner) of the county in which the mobile home, or any part thereof, is located to serve the notices as provided in Sections 375 and 380. The notices may also be served as provided in Sections 375 and 380 by a special process server appointed by the court under Section 375. Section 335. Effect of receipt of redemption money, forfeiture, withdrawal, or return of certificate. The receipt of the redemption money on any mobile home by any purchaser or assignee, on account of any forfeiture or withdrawal, or the return of the certificate of purchase, withdrawal or forfeiture for cancellation, shall operate as a release of the claim to the mobile home under, or by virtue of, the purchase, withdrawal, or forfeiture. However, when a certificate of purchase has been recorded in the office of the county recorder by any city, incorporated town, or village with 1,000,000 or more inhabitants in which the mobile home is situated, the recording of a certificate by the county clerk, reciting the cancellation of the certificate of purchase on the tax judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture record, shall operate as a release of the lien of the city, incorporated town, or village under the certificate of purchase. Section 340. County clerk to pay successor redemption money collected. At the expiration of his or her term of office, the county clerk shall pay over to the successor in office all moneys in his or her hands received for redemption from sale for taxes on a mobile home. Section 345. Notice of order setting aside redemption. In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, if an order is entered setting aside a redemption made within the time allowed by law after a petition for tax certificate of title has been filed, the holder of the certificate of purchase shall mail a copy of the order within 7 days of entry of the order by registered or certified mail to the county clerk, to the person who made the redemption, and to all parties entitled to notice of the petition under Section 370, 375, or 385. The order shall provide that any person who was entitled to redeem may pay to the county clerk within 30 days after the entry of the order the amount necessary to redeem the mobile home from the sale as of the last day of the period of redemption. The county clerk shall make an entry in the annual tax judgment, sale, redemption, and forfeiture record reflecting the entry of the order and shall immediately upon request provide an estimate of the amount required to effect a redemption as of the last date of the period of redemption. If the amount is paid within 30 days after entry of the order, then the court shall enter an order declaring the taxes to be paid as if the mobile home had been redeemed within the time required by law and dismissing the petition for tax certificate of title. A tax certificate of title shall not be issued within the 30-day period. Upon surrender of the certificate of purchase, the county clerk shall distribute the funds deposited as if a timely redemption had been made. Division 8. Other procedures Section 350. Waste; appointment of receiver. After any sale of mobile homes under this Act and until a tax certificate of title has been issued or until redemption has been made, no waste shall be committed on any of the mobile homes involved. The court which ordered the mobile home to be sold may, upon verified petition of the holder of the certificate of purchase, take such action as the court deems necessary and desirable to prevent the commission of waste. If the mobile home sold is abandoned or if any municipality or
103 [April 4, 2001] other local governmental body has legal action pending because the mobile home violates local building, housing, or fire ordinances, or mobile home park rules and regulations, or because the taxes on the mobile home are delinquent for 2 or more years, the court which ordered the mobile home to be sold may, upon verified petition of the holder of the certificate of purchase, enter an order for appointment of a receiver. Notice of the hearing for appointment of the receiver shall be given to the owner or owners of the mobile home and to the person in whose name the taxes were last assessed, by certified or registered mail sent to their last known addresses, at least 5 days prior to the date of the hearing. The receiver may take only that action, subject to court approval, as is necessary for the preservation of the mobile home or is necessary to correct conditions at the mobile home that fail to conform to minimum standards of health and safety, as set forth in local ordinances or mobile home park rules and regulations. If a receiver is appointed, all costs and expenses advanced by the receiver shall be repaid as provided for in Section 300 before any redemption is considered complete. The receiver shall be discharged upon redemption from the tax sale or upon entry of an order directing issuance of a tax certificate of title. Nothing herein contained is intended to prevent a court from appointing the holder of the certificate of purchase as receiver. The holder of the certificate of purchase shall be made a party to any action or proceeding to demolish or destroy a mobile home where the mobile home has been sold for failure to pay taxes and the period of redemption has not expired. Section 355. Action for collection of taxes. The county board may, at any time after final judgment and order of sale against a delinquent mobile home under Section 120, institute a civil action in the name of the People of the State of Illinois in the circuit court for the whole amount due for taxes on the delinquent or forfeited mobile home. Any county, city, village, incorporated town, school district or other municipal corporation to which any tax is due, may, at any time after final judgment under Section 120, institute a civil action in its own name, in the circuit court, for the amount of the tax due to it on the delinquent or forfeited mobile home, and prosecute the same to final judgment. On the sale of any mobile home following judgment in the civil action, the county, city, village, incorporated town, school district or other municipal corporation, interested in the collection of the tax, may become purchaser at the sale. If the mobile home so sold is not redeemed the purchaser may acquire, hold, sell or dispose of the title thereto, the same as individuals may do under the laws of this State. In any action for delinquent or forfeited taxes, the fact that the mobile home was assessed to a person shall be prima facie evidence that the person was the owner thereof, and was liable for the taxes for the year or years for which the assessment was made. That fact may be proved by the introduction in evidence of the proper assessment book or roll, or other competent proof. Any judgment rendered for delinquent or forfeited taxes under this Section shall include the costs of the action and reasonable attorney's fees. Section 360. Tax foreclosure proceedings. In tax foreclosure proceedings, the purchaser or assignee shall file a petition for a certificate of title in the proceeding in which the foreclosure order was entered. Notice of the filing of the petition and of the hearing on the petition shall be given in conformity with rule or practice of court in regard to motions as in other civil actions. Division 9. Tax certificates of title and procedures Section 365. Notice of sale and redemption rights. In order to be entitled to a tax certificate of title, within 4 months and 15 days after any sale held under this Act, the purchaser or his or her assignee shall deliver to the county clerk a notice to be given to the party in whose name the taxes are last assessed as shown by the most recent tax collector's warrant books, in at least 10 point type in the following form completely filled in: TAKE NOTICE County of .........................................................

The purchaser or his or her assignee shall give the notice required by Section 370 by causing it to be published in a newspaper as set forth in Section 380. In addition, the notice shall be served by a sheriff (or if he or she is disqualified, by a coroner) of the county in which the mobile home is located upon owners who reside in the mobile home sold by leaving a copy of the notice with those owners personally. In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants where a taxing district is a petitioner for tax certificate of title pursuant to Section 35, in lieu of service by the sheriff or coroner the notice may be served by a special process server appointed by the circuit court as provided in this Section. The taxing district may move prior to filing one or more petitions for tax certificate of title for appointment of such a special process server. The court, upon being satisfied that the person named in the motion is at least 18 years of age and is capable of serving notice as required under this Act, shall enter an order appointing such person as a special process server for a period of one year. The appointment may be renewed for successive periods of one year each by motion and order, and a copy of the original and any subsequent order shall be filed in each tax certificate of title case in which a notice is served by the appointed person. Delivery of the notice to and service of the notice by the special process server shall have the same force and effect as its delivery to and service by the sheriff or coroner. The same form of notice shall also be served upon all other owners and parties interested in the mobile home, if upon diligent inquiry they can be found in the county, and upon the occupants of the mobile home in the following manner: (a) as to individuals, by (1) leaving a copy of the notice with the person personally or (2) by leaving a copy at his or her usual place of residence with a person of the family, of the age of 13 years or more, and informing that person of its contents. The person making the service shall cause a copy of the notice to be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to that party at his or her usual place of residence; (b) as to public and private corporations, municipal, governmental and quasi-municipal corporations, partnerships, receivers and trustees of corporations, by leaving a copy of the notice with the person designated by the Civil Practice Law. When a party interested in the mobile home is a trustee, notice served upon the trustee shall be deemed to have been served upon any
[April 4, 2001] 106 beneficiary or note holder thereunder unless the holder of the note is disclosed of record. When a judgment is a lien upon the mobile home sold, the holder of the lien shall be served with notice if the name of the judgment debtor as shown in the transcript, certified copy or memorandum of judgment filed of record is identical, as to given name and surname, with the name of the party interested as it appears of record. If any owner or party interested, upon diligent inquiry and effort, cannot be found or served with notice in the county as provided in this Section, and the person in actual occupancy and possession is tenant to, or in possession under the owners or the parties interested in the mobile home, then service of notice upon the tenant, occupant or person in possession shall be deemed service upon the owners or parties interested. If any owner or party interested, upon diligent inquiry and effort cannot be found or served with notice in the county, then the person making the service shall cause a copy of the notice to be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to that party at his or her residence, if ascertainable. Section 380. Proof of service of notice; publication of notice. The sheriff or coroner serving notice under Section 375 shall endorse his or her return thereon and file it with the clerk of the circuit court and it shall be a part of the court record. A special process server appointed under Section 375 shall make his or her return by affidavit and shall file it with the clerk of the circuit court, where it shall be a part of the court record. If a sheriff, special process server, or coroner to whom any notice is delivered for service, neglects or refuses to make the return, the purchaser or his or her assignee may petition the court to enter a rule requiring the sheriff, special process server, or coroner to make return of the notice on a day to be fixed by the court, or to show cause on that day why he or she should not be attached for contempt of the court. The purchaser or assignee shall cause a written notice of the rule to be served upon the sheriff, special process server, or coroner. If good and sufficient cause to excuse the sheriff, special process server, or coroner is not shown, the court shall adjudge him or her guilty of a contempt, and shall proceed to punish him as in other cases of contempt. If the mobile home is located in a municipality in a county with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the purchaser or his or her assignee shall also publish a notice as to the owner or party interested, in some newspaper published in the municipality. If the mobile home is not in a municipality in a county with less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, or if no newspaper is published therein, or if the mobile home is in a county with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the notice shall be published in some newspaper in the county. If no newspaper is published in the county, then the notice shall be published in the newspaper that is published nearest the county seat of the county in which the mobile home is located. If the owners and parties interested in the mobile home upon diligent inquiry are unknown to the purchaser or his or her assignee, the publication as to such owner or party interested, may be made to unknown owners or parties interested. Any notice by publication given under this Section shall be given 3 times at any time after filing a petition for tax certificate of title, but not less than 3 months nor more than 5 months prior to the expiration of the period of redemption. The publication shall contain (a) notice of the filing of the petition for tax certificate of title, (b) the date on which the petitioner intends to make application for an order on the petition that a tax certificate of title issue, (c) a description of the mobile home, (d) the date upon which the mobile home was sold, (e) the taxes for which it was sold and (f) the date on which the period of redemption will expire. The publication shall not include more than one mobile home listed and sold in one description, except as provided in Section 35, and except that when more than one mobile home is owned by one person, all of the mobile homes owned by that person may be included in one notice. Section 385. Mailed notice. In addition to the notice required to
107 [April 4, 2001] be served not less than 3 months nor more than 5 months prior to the expiration of the period of redemption, the purchaser or his or her assignee shall prepare and deliver to the clerk of the circuit court of the county in which the mobile home is located, the notice provided for in this Section, together with the statutory costs for mailing the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested. The form of notice to be mailed by the clerk shall be identical in form to that provided by Section 370 for service upon owners residing in the mobile home sold, except that it shall bear the signature of the clerk and shall designate the parties to whom it is to be mailed. The clerk may furnish the form. The clerk shall promptly mail the notices delivered to him or her by certified mail, return receipt requested. The certificate of the clerk that he or she has mailed the notices, together with the return receipts, shall be filed in and made a part of the court record. The notices shall be mailed to the owners of the mobile home at their last known addresses, and to those persons who are entitled to service of notice as occupants. Section 390. Petition for certificate of title. At any time within 5 months but not less than 3 months prior to the expiration of the redemption period for a mobile home sold pursuant to judgment and order of sale under Sections 55 through 65 or 200, the purchaser or his or her assignee may file a petition in the circuit court in the same proceeding in which the judgment and order of sale were entered, asking that the court direct the county clerk to issue a tax certificate of title if the mobile home is not redeemed from the sale. The petition shall be accompanied by the statutory filing fee. Notice of filing the petition and the date on which the petitioner intends to apply for an order on the petition that a certificate of title be issued if the mobile home is not redeemed shall be given to occupants, owners, and persons interested in the mobile home as part of the notice provided in Sections 370 through 385, except that only one publication is required. The county clerk shall be notified of the filing of the petition and any person owning or interested in the mobile home may, if he or she desires, appear in the proceeding. Section 395. Reimbursement of municipality before issuance of tax certificate of title. An order for the issuance of a tax certificate of title under this Act shall not be entered affecting the title to or interest in any mobile home in which a city, village, or incorporated town has an interest under the police and welfare power by advancements made from public funds, until the purchaser or assignee makes reimbursement to the city, village, or incorporated town of the money so advanced or the city, village, or town waives its lien on the mobile home for the money so advanced. However, in lieu of reimbursement or waiver, the purchaser or his or her assignee may make application for and the court shall order that the tax purchase be set aside as a sale in error. A filing or appearance fee shall not be required of a city, village, or incorporated town seeking to enforce its claim under this Section in a tax certificate of title proceeding. Section 400. Issuance of certificate of title; possession. (a) If the redemption period expires and the mobile home has not been redeemed and all taxes which became due and payable subsequent to the sale have been paid and all forfeitures and sales which occur subsequent to the sale have been redeemed and the notices required by law have been given and all advancements of public funds under the police power made by a city, village, or town under Section 395 have been paid and the petitioner has complied with all the provisions of law entitling him or her to a certificate of title, the court shall so find and shall enter an order directing the Secretary of State on the production of the certificate of purchase and a certified copy of the order, to issue to the purchaser or his or her assignee a tax certificate of title. The court shall insist on strict compliance with Section 370 through 385. Prior to the entry of an order directing the issuance of a tax certificate of title, the petitioner shall furnish the court with a report of proceedings of the evidence received on the application for tax certificate of title and the report of proceedings shall be filed and made a part of the court record.
[April 4, 2001] 108 (b) If taxes for years prior to the year sold remain delinquent at the time of the tax certificate of title hearing, those delinquent taxes may be merged into the tax certificate of title if the court determines that all other requirements for receiving an order directing the issuance of the tax certificate of title are fulfilled and makes a further determination under either paragraph (1) or (2). (1) Incomplete estimate. (A) The mobile home in question was purchased at an annual sale; and (B) the statement and estimate of forfeited taxes furnished by the county clerk pursuant to Section 175 failed to include all delinquent taxes as of the date of that estimate's issuance. (2) Vacating order. (A) The petitioner furnishes the court with a certified copy of an order vacating a prior sale for the subject mobile home; (B) the order vacating the sale was entered after the date of purchase for the subject taxes; (C) the sale in error was granted pursuant to paragraphs (1), (2), or (4) of subsection (b) of Section 255 or Section 395; and (D) the tax purchaser who received the sale in error has no affiliation, direct or indirect, with the petitioner in the present proceeding and that petitioner has signed an affidavit attesting to the lack of affiliation. If delinquent taxes are merged into the tax certificate of title pursuant to this subsection, a declaration to that effect shall be included in the order directing issuance of the tax certificate of title. Nothing contained in this Section shall relieve any owner liable for delinquent mobile home taxes under the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act from the payment of the taxes that have been merged into the title upon issuance of the tax certificate of title. (c) Upon application the court shall, enter an order to place the tax certificate of title grantee in possession of the mobile home and may enter orders and grant relief as may be necessary or desirable to maintain the grantee in possession. Section 402. Mobile homes located in manufactured home community; requirements. The person who acquires a certificate of title under Section 400 for a mobile home located on a lot in a manufactured home community is liable for lot rent (at the prevailing rate) beginning on the day the certificate of title is issued and shall either (i) qualify for tenancy in the manufactured home community in accordance with the community's normal tenant qualification and screening procedures or (ii) remove the mobile home from the lot not later than 30 days after the date the certificate of title is issued. Section 405. Tax certificate of title incontestable unless order appealed or relief petitioned. Tax certificates of title issued under Section 395 are incontestable except by appeal from the order of the court directing the county clerk to issue the tax certificate of title. However, relief from such order may be had under Section 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure in the same manner and to the same extent as may be had under that Section with respect to final orders and judgments in other proceedings. The grounds for relief under Section 2-1401 shall be limited to: (1) proof that the taxes were paid prior to sale; (2) proof that the mobile home was exempt from taxation; (3) proof by clear and convincing evidence that the tax certificate of title had been procured by fraud or deception by the tax purchaser or his or her assignee; or (4) proof by a person or party holding a recorded ownership or other recorded interest in the mobile home that he or she was not named as a party in the publication notice as set forth in Section 380, and that the tax purchaser or his or her assignee did not make a diligent inquiry and effort to serve that person or party with the notices required by Sections 370 through 390.
109 [April 4, 2001] In cases of the sale of a mobile home in counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, a tax certificate of title may also be voided by the court upon petition, filed not more than 3 months after an order for tax certificate of title was entered, if the court finds that the mobile home was owner occupied on the expiration date of the period of redemption and that the order for certificate of title was effectuated pursuant to a negligent or willful error made by an employee of the county clerk or county collector during the period of redemption from the sale that was reasonably relied upon to the detriment of any person having a redeemable interest. In such a case, the tax purchaser shall be entitled to the original amount required to redeem the mobile home plus interest from the sale as of the last date of redemption together with costs actually expended subsequent to the expiration of the period of redemption and reasonable attorney's fees, all of which shall be dispensed from the fund created by Section 235. In those cases of error where the court vacates the tax certificate of title, it may award the petitioner reasonable attorney's fees and court costs actually expended, payable from that fund. The court hearing a petition filed under this Section or Section 2-1401 of the Act of Civil Procedure may concurrently hear a petition filed under Section 235 and may grant relief under either Section. Section 410. Denial of certificate of title. If the court refuses to enter an order directing the Secretary of State to execute and deliver the tax certificate of title, because of the failure of the purchaser to fulfill any of the above provisions, and if the purchaser, or his or her assignee has made a bona fide attempt to comply with the statutory requirements for the issuance of the tax certificate of title, it shall order the return of the purchase price, and subsequent taxes and posted costs forthwith, as in case of sales in error, except that no interest shall be paid. Section 412. Tax certificate of titles to convey merchantable title. This Section shall be liberally construed so that tax certificate of titles shall convey merchantable title. Section 415. Form of certificate of title. A tax certificate of title executed by the Secretary of State vests in the grantee the certificate of title of the mobile home therein described without further acknowledgment or evidence of the conveyance. The conveyance shall be substantially in the following form: At a public sale of mobile homes for the nonpayment of taxes, held in the .... County, on (insert date), the following described mobile home was sold: (here place description of mobile home conveyed). The mobile home not having been redeemed from the sale, and it appearing that the holder of the certificate of purchase of the mobile home has complied with the laws of the State of Illinois necessary to entitle (insert him, her or them) to a certificate of title of the mobile home: I ...., (Secretary of State official) ...., in consideration of the mobile home and by virtue of the statutes of the State of Illinois in such cases provided, issue a certificate of title to .... for the mobile home described above. Dated (insert date). Signature of .................... (Secretary of State) Section 420. Certificate of title; prima facie evidence of regularity of sale. (a) As to the mobile home conveyed therein, tax certificates of title executed by the Secretary of State are prima facie evidence of the following facts in all controversies and suits in relation to the rights of the tax certificate of title grantee and his or her heirs or assigns: (1) the mobile home conveyed was subject to taxation at the time the tax was charged and was listed and charged in the time and manner required by law; (2) the taxes were not paid at any time before the sale; (3) the mobile home was advertised for sale in the manner and for the length of time required by law; (4) the mobile home was sold for taxes as stated in the
[April 4, 2001] 110 certificate of title; (5) the sale was conducted in the manner required by law; (6) the mobile home conveyed was not redeemed from the sale within the time permitted by law; (7) the grantee in the certificate of title was the purchaser or assignee of the purchaser. (b) Any order for the sale of a mobile home for delinquent taxes, except as otherwise provided in this Section, shall estop all parties from raising any objections to the order or to a tax certificate of title based thereon, which existed at or before the rendition of the order, and which could have been presented as a defense to the application for the order. The order itself is conclusive evidence of its regularity and validity in all collateral proceedings, except in cases where the tax was paid prior to the sale or the mobile home was exempt from taxes. Section 425. Order of court setting aside tax certificate of title; payments to holder of certificate of title. (a) Any order of court vacating an order directing the Secretary of State to issue a tax certificate of title based upon a finding that the mobile home was not subject to taxation, or that the taxes had been paid prior to the sale of the mobile home, or that the tax sale was otherwise void, shall declare the tax sale to be a sale in error pursuant to Section 255 of this Act. The order shall direct the county collector to refund to the tax certificate of title grantee or his or her successors and assigns (or, if a tax certificate of title has not yet issued, the holder of the certificate of purchase) the following amounts: (1) all taxes purchased, paid, or redeemed by the tax purchaser or his or her assignee, or by the tax certificate of title grantee or his or her successors and assigns, whether before or after entry of the order for tax certificate of title, with interest at the rate of 1% per month from the date each amount was paid until the date of payment pursuant to this Section; (2) all costs paid and posted to the judgment record and not included in paragraph (1) of this subsection (a); and (3) court reporter fees for the hearing on the application for tax certificate of title and transcript thereof, cost of certification of tax certificate of title order, cost of issuance of tax certificate of title, and cost of transferring certificate of title to the tax purchaser. (b) Except in those cases described in subsection (a) of this Section, and unless the court on motion of the tax certificate of title petitioner extends the redemption period to a date not later than 3 years from the date of sale, any order of court finding that an order directing the Secretary of State to issue a tax certificate of title should be vacated shall direct the party who successfully contested the entry of the order to pay to the tax certificate of title grantee or his or her successors and assigns (or, if a tax certificate of title has not yet issued, the holder of the certificate) within 90 days after the date of the finding: (1) the amount necessary to redeem the mobile home from the sale as of the last day of the period of redemption, except that, if the sale is a scavenger sale pursuant to Section 200 of this Act, the redemption amount shall not include an amount equal to all delinquent taxes on such mobile home which taxes were delinquent at the time of sale; and (2) amounts in satisfaction of municipal liens paid by the tax purchaser or his or her assignee, and the amounts specified in paragraphs (1) and (3) of subsection (a) of this Section, to the extent the amounts are not included in paragraph (1) of this subsection (b). If the payment is not made within the 90-day period, the petition to vacate the order directing the Secretary of State to issue a tax certificate of title shall be denied with prejudice, and the order directing the Secretary of State to issue a tax certificate of title shall remain in full force and effect. No final order vacating any
111 [April 4, 2001] order directing the Secretary of State to issue a tax certificate of title shall be entered pursuant to this subsection (b) until the payment has been made. Section 430. Failure to timely transfer certificate of title; tax certificate of title is void. Unless the holder of the certificate purchased at any tax sale under this Act transfers the certificate of title within one year from and after the time for redemption expires, the certificate of purchase or order for tax certificate of title, and the sale on which it is based, shall, after the expiration of the one year period, be absolutely void with no right to reimbursement. If the holder of the certificate of purchase is prevented from obtaining a certificate of title by injunction or order of any court, or by the refusal or inability of any court to act upon the application for a tax certificate of title, or by the refusal of the Secretary of State to execute the same certificate of title, the time he or she is so prevented shall be excluded from computation of the one year period. Certificates of purchase and orders for tax certificates of title executed by the court shall recite the qualifications required in this Section. Division 900. Amendatory provisions Section 905. The Mobile Home Local Services Tax Act is amended by changing Sections 6, 8, 9, and 10.1 as follows: (35 ILCS 515/6) (from Ch. 120, par. 1206) Sec. 6. Computation, certification, and distribution of tax. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, within 60 days of receipt of each registration form, the county clerk or, in counties in which a county assessor is elected pursuant to Section 3-45 of the Property Tax Code, the county assessor shall compute the tax due, as provided in Section 3, and certify the tax to the county treasurer who shall mail the tax bill to the owner of such mobile home at the time he receives the certification or on the annual billing date, whichever occurs later. If the registration form is accompanied by a receipt for privilege taxes paid in Illinois for the current tax year, no further privilege tax shall be imposed for the remainder of the current tax year. If the mobile home is initially harbored after the annual liability date, as provided in Section 3 of this Act, the county clerk or county assessor shall reduce such tax 1/12 for each month that has passed since such annual liability date. A mobile home harbored after the first day of such month shall be considered to have been harbored for the entire month for the purposes of this Section. Thereafter, for taxable years prior to taxable year 2002, except for the year 1976, the county clerk or county assessor shall compute such tax as of the first day of June of each year and certify the tax to the county treasurer. For taxable year 2002 and thereafter, the county clerk or county assessor shall compute the tax as of the first day of March of each year and certify the tax to the county treasurer. Such tax shall be due and payable to the county treasurer within 60 days after the treasurer mails the tax bill to the address of record. The county treasurer shall distribute such taxes to the local taxing districts within the boundaries of which such mobile homes are located, in the same proportion as the property taxes collectible for each such taxing district in the prior year. In order to effect the change of the annual billing date and the date of liability, provided for by this amendatory Act of 1975, the county clerk shall compute such tax as of July 1, 1976, for the 1/2 year period from July 1, 1976, through December 31, 1976, at 1/2 the amount of the annual tax. The tax for such period shall be certified, billed, collected and distributed in the same manner as is provided in this Section as taxes for a full year, and shall be subject to a proportionate reduction if the mobile home is initially harbored after July 1, 1976 and before January 1, 1977. (Source: P.A. 88-670, eff. 12-2-94.) (35 ILCS 515/8) (from Ch. 120, par. 1208) Sec. 8. Failure to pay tax; lien. If any local services tax imposed by this Act is not paid when due, the county treasurer of the county in which the mobile home is located shall have a lien on the
[April 4, 2001] 112 mobile home for the amount of the tax, addition to the tax, penalty and interest due. The treasurer shall notify the taxpayer in writing of the existence of the lien. Such lien shall terminate (i) unless the county treasurer files with the county recorder of the county in which the mobile home is located a notice of lien, within one year of such tax due date or (ii) if the county treasurer applies for judgment and order of sale for delinquent taxes on mobile homes pursuant to the provisions of the Mobile Home Local Services Tax Enforcement Act and the taxes are sold. From the time of the filing, the amount set forth in the certificate also constitutes a lien upon all property of the taxpayer then owned by him or thereafter acquired by him in the period before the expiration of the lien. Such liens have the same force, effect and priority as a judgment lien and continue for 10 years from the date of the recording unless sooner released or otherwise discharged. The county treasurer may, at any time, release all or any portion of the property subject to any lien provided for in this Act or subordinate the lien to other liens if he determines that the taxes are sufficiently secured by a lien or other property of the taxpayer or that the release or subordination of the lien will not endanger or jeopardize the collection of the taxes. If the owner of a mobile home upon which the tax has not been paid does not make payment within 6 months after a lien has been filed, civil action may be instituted by the collector for the amount of the tax, plus interest, penalties and costs. If sale of the property is ordered, the court may direct the sale to be made in cash or on such terms as it may deem in the best interests of all parties. The court may direct that such sale be held by the sheriff or in open court. (Source: P.A. 83-871.) (35 ILCS 515/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 1209) Sec. 9. Additional charge for delinquent taxes; penalty for fraud. For taxable years prior to 2002, if any local services tax, or part thereof, imposed by this Act is not paid on or before the due date for such tax, interest on such amount at the rate of 1 1/2% per month shall be paid for the period from such due date to the date of payment of such amount. For taxable year 2002 and thereafter, if any local services tax, or part thereof, imposed by this Act is not paid on or before the due date for such tax, the taxpayer shall be required to pay an additional $100. If such failure to pay such tax is the result of fraud, there shall be added to the tax as a penalty an amount equal to 50% of the deficiency. (Source: P.A. 83-546.) (35 ILCS 515/10.1) (from Ch. 120, par. 1210.1) Sec. 10.1. Notice to assessor of ownership change. An operator of a mobile home park licensed under the provisions of the Mobile Home Park Act and any land owner on which an inhabited mobile home is located "An Act to provide for, license and regulate mobile homes and mobile home parks and to repeal an Act named herein", approved September 8, 1971, as amended, shall notify the township assessor, if any, or the Supervisor of Assessments or county assessor if there is no township assessor, or the county assessor in those counties in which a county assessor is elected pursuant to Section 3-45 of the Property Tax Code, when a change in ownership occurs in a mobile home located in such a park or on such land. Such notification shall include the same information for the new owner as that contained in the registration form required of mobile home park operators and mobile home owners by Section 4 of this Act. (Source: P.A. 88-670, eff. 12-2-94.) Section 910. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by changing Section 3-114 as follows: (625 ILCS 5/3-114) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-114) (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 91-893) Sec. 3-114. Transfer by operation of law. (a) If the interest of an owner in a vehicle passes to another other than by voluntary transfer, the transferee shall, except as provided in paragraph (b), promptly mail or deliver within 20 days to the Secretary of State the last certificate of title, if available,
113 [April 4, 2001] proof of the transfer, and his application for a new certificate in the form the Secretary of State prescribes. It shall be unlawful for any person having possession of a certificate of title for a motor vehicle, semi-trailer, or house car by reason of his having a lien or encumbrance on such vehicle, to fail or refuse to deliver such certificate to the owner, upon the satisfaction or discharge of the lien or encumbrance, indicated upon such certificate of title. (b) If the interest of an owner in a vehicle passes to another under the provisions of the Small Estates provisions of the Probate Act of 1975 the transferee shall promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary of State, within 120 days, the last certificate of title, if available, the documentation required under the provisions of the Probate Act of 1975, and an application for certificate of title. The Small Estate Affidavit form shall be furnished by the Secretary of State. The transfer may be to the transferee or to the nominee of the transferee. (c) If the interest of an owner in a vehicle passes to another under other provisions of the Probate Act of 1975, as amended, and the transfer is made by a representative or guardian, such transferee shall promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary of State, the last certificate of title, if available, and a certified copy of the letters of office or guardianship, and an application for certificate of title. Such application shall be made before the estate is closed. The transfer may be to the transferee or to the nominee of the transferee. (d) If the interest of an owner in joint tenancy passes to the other joint tenant with survivorship rights as provided by law, the transferee shall promptly mail or deliver to the Secretary of State, the last certificate of title, if available, proof of death of the one joint tenant and survivorship of the surviving joint tenant, and an application for certificate of title. Such application shall be made within 120 days after the death of the joint tenant. The transfer may be to the transferee or to the nominee of the transferee. (e) The Secretary of State shall transfer a decedent's vehicle title to any legatee, representative or heir of the decedent who submits to the Secretary a death certificate and an affidavit by an attorney at law on the letterhead stationery of the attorney at law stating the facts of the transfer. (f) Repossession with assignment of title. In all cases wherein a lienholder has repossessed a vehicle by other than judicial process and holds it for resale under a security agreement, and the owner of record has executed an assignment of the existing certificate of title after default, the lienholder may proceed to sell or otherwise dispose of the vehicle as authorized under the Uniform Commercial Code. Upon selling the vehicle to another person, the lienholder need not send the certificate of title to the Secretary of State, but shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser as transferee the existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle, reflecting the release of the lienholder's security interest in the vehicle. The application for a certificate of title made by the purchaser shall comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be accompanied by the existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle. The lienholder shall execute the assignment and warranty of title showing the name and address of the purchaser in the spaces provided therefor on the certificate of title or as the Secretary of State prescribes. The lienholder shall complete the assignment of title in the certificate of title to reflect the transfer of the vehicle to the lienholder and also a reassignment to reflect the transfer from the lienholder to the purchaser. For this purpose, the lienholder is specifically authorized to complete and execute the space reserved in the certificate of title for a dealer reassignment, notwithstanding that the lienholder is not a licensed dealer. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that the lienholder is taking title to the repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability for retailer occupation, vehicle use, or other tax with respect to the proceeds from the repossession sale. Delivery of the existing certificate of title to the purchaser shall be deemed disclosure to the purchaser of the owner of the vehicle.
[April 4, 2001] 114 (f-5) Repossession without assignment of title. In all cases wherein a lienholder has repossessed a vehicle by other than judicial process and holds it for resale under a security agreement, and the owner of record has not executed an assignment of the existing certificate of title, the lienholder shall comply with the following provisions: (1) Prior to sale, the lienholder shall deliver or mail to the owner at the owner's last known address and to any other lienholder of record, a notice of redemption setting forth the following information: (i) the name of the owner of record and in bold type at or near the top of the notice a statement that the owner's vehicle was repossessed on a specified date for failure to make payments on the loan (or other reason), (ii) a description of the vehicle subject to the lien sufficient to identify it, (iii) the right of the owner to redeem the vehicle, (iv) the lienholder's intent to sell or otherwise dispose of the vehicle after the expiration of 21 days from the date of mailing or delivery of the notice, and (v) the name, address, and telephone number of the lienholder from whom information may be obtained concerning the amount due to redeem the vehicle and from whom the vehicle may be redeemed under Section 9-506 of the Uniform Commercial Code. At the lienholder's option, the information required to be set forth in this notice of redemption may be made a part of or accompany the notification of sale or other disposition required under subsection (3) of Section 9-504 of the Uniform Commercial Code, but none of the information required by this notice shall be construed to impose any requirement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. (2) With respect to the repossession of a vehicle used primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, the lienholder shall also deliver or mail to the owner at the owner's last known address an affidavit of defense. The affidavit of defense shall accompany the notice of redemption required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section. The affidavit of defense shall (i) identify the lienholder, owner, and the vehicle; (ii) provide space for the owner to state the defense claimed by the owner; and (iii) include an acknowledgment by the owner that the owner may be liable to the lienholder for fees, charges, and costs incurred by the lienholder in establishing the insufficiency or invalidity of the owner's defense. To stop the transfer of title, the affidavit of defense must be received by the lienholder no later than 21 days after the date of mailing or delivery of the notice required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section. If the lienholder receives the affidavit from the owner in a timely manner, the lienholder must apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to determine if the lienholder is entitled to possession of the vehicle. (3) Upon selling the vehicle to another person, the lienholder need not send the certificate of title to the Secretary of State, but shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser as transferee (i) the existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle, reflecting the release of the lienholder's security interest in the vehicle; and (ii) an affidavit of repossession made by or on behalf of the lienholder which provides the following information: that the vehicle was repossessed, a description of the vehicle sufficient to identify it, whether the vehicle has been damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market value as required under subdivision (b)(3) of Section 3-117.1, that the owner and any other lienholder of record were given the notice required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section, that the owner of record was given the affidavit of defense required in subdivision (f-5)(2) of this Section, that the interest of the owner was lawfully terminated or sold pursuant to the terms of the security agreement, and the purchaser's name and address. If the vehicle is damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market value, the lienholder shall make application for a salvage
115 [April 4, 2001] certificate under Section 3-117.1 and transfer the vehicle to a person eligible to receive assignments of salvage certificates identified in Section 3-118. (4) The application for a certificate of title made by the purchaser shall comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be accompanied by the affidavit of repossession furnished by the lienholder and the existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle. The lienholder shall execute the assignment and warranty of title showing the name and address of the purchaser in the spaces provided therefor on the certificate of title or as the Secretary of State prescribes. The lienholder shall complete the assignment of title in the certificate of title to reflect the transfer of the vehicle to the lienholder and also a reassignment to reflect the transfer from the lienholder to the purchaser. For this purpose, the lienholder is specifically authorized to execute the assignment on behalf of the owner as seller if the owner has not done so and to complete and execute the space reserved in the certificate of title for a dealer reassignment, notwithstanding that the lienholder is not a licensed dealer. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that the lienholder is taking title to the repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability for retailer occupation, vehicle use, or other tax with respect to the proceeds from the repossession sale. Delivery of the existing certificate of title to the purchaser shall be deemed disclosure to the purchaser of the owner of the vehicle. In the event the lienholder does not hold the certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle, the lienholder shall make application for and may obtain a new certificate of title in the name of the lienholder upon furnishing information satisfactory to the Secretary of State. Upon receiving the new certificate of title, the lienholder may proceed with the sale described in subdivision (f-5)(3), except that upon selling the vehicle the lienholder shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser the new certificate of title reflecting the assignment and transfer of title to the purchaser. (5) Neither the lienholder nor the owner shall file with the Office of the Secretary of State the notice of redemption or affidavit of defense described in subdivisions (f-5)(1) and (f-5)(2) of this Section. The Office of the Secretary of State shall not determine the merits of an owner's affidavit of defense, nor consider any allegations or assertions regarding the validity or invalidity of a lienholder's claim to the vehicle or an owner's asserted defenses to the repossession action. (f-7) Notice of reinstatement in certain cases. (1) If, at the time of repossession by a lienholder that is seeking to transfer title pursuant to subsection (f-5), the owner has paid an amount equal to 30% or more of the deferred payment price or total of payments due, the owner may, within 21 days of the date of repossession, reinstate the contract or loan agreement and recover the vehicle from the lienholder by tendering in a lump sum (i) the total of all unpaid amounts, including any unpaid delinquency or deferral charges due at the date of reinstatement, without acceleration; and (ii) performance necessary to cure any default other than nonpayment of the amounts due; and (iii) all reasonable costs and fees incurred by the lienholder in retaking, holding, and preparing the vehicle for disposition and in arranging for the sale of the vehicle. Reasonable costs and fees incurred by the lienholder include without limitation repossession and storage expenses and, if authorized by the contract or loan agreement, reasonable attorneys' fees and collection agency charges. (2) Tender of payment and performance pursuant to this limited right of reinstatement restores to the owner his rights under the contract or loan agreement as though no default had occurred. The owner has the right to reinstate the contract or loan agreement and recover the vehicle from the lienholder only once under this subsection. The lienholder may, in the lienholder's sole discretion, extend the period during which the
[April 4, 2001] 116 owner may reinstate the contract or loan agreement and recover the vehicle beyond the 21 days allowed under this subsection, and the extension shall not subject the lienholder to liability to the owner under the laws of this State. (3) The lienholder shall deliver or mail written notice to the owner at the owner's last known address, within 3 business days of the date of repossession, of the owner's right to reinstate the contract or loan agreement and recover the vehicle pursuant to the limited right of reinstatement described in this subsection. At the lienholder's option, the information required to be set forth in this notice of reinstatement may be made part of or accompany the notice of redemption required in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section and the notification of sale or other disposition required under subsection (3) of Section 9-504 of the Uniform Commercial Code, but none of the information required by this notice of reinstatement shall be construed to impose any requirement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. (4) The reinstatement period, if applicable, and the redemption period described in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section, shall run concurrently if the information required to be set forth in the notice of reinstatement is part of or accompanies the notice of redemption. In any event, the 21 day redemption period described in subdivision (f-5)(1) of this Section shall commence on the date of mailing or delivery to the owner of the information required to be set forth in the notice of redemption, and the 21 day reinstatement period described in this subdivision, if applicable, shall commence on the date of mailing or delivery to the owner of the information required to be set forth in the notice of reinstatement. (5) The Office of the Secretary of State shall not determine the merits of an owner's claim of right to reinstatement, nor consider any allegations or assertions regarding the validity or invalidity of a lienholder's claim to the vehicle or an owner's asserted right to reinstatement. Where a lienholder is subject to licensing and regulatory supervision by the State of Illinois, the lienholder shall be subject to all of the powers and authority of the lienholder's primary State regulator to enforce compliance with the procedures set forth in this subsection (f-7). (f-10) Repossession by judicial process. In all cases wherein a lienholder has repossessed a vehicle by judicial process and holds it for resale under a security agreement, order for replevin, or other court order establishing the lienholder's right to possession of the vehicle, the lienholder may proceed to sell or otherwise dispose of the vehicle as authorized under the Uniform Commercial Code or the court order. Upon selling the vehicle to another person, the lienholder need not send the certificate of title to the Secretary of State, but shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser as transferee (i) the existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle reflecting the release of the lienholder's security interest in the vehicle; (ii) a certified copy of the court order; and (iii) a bill of sale identifying the new owner's name and address and the year, make, model, and vehicle identification number of the vehicle. The application for a certificate of title made by the purchaser shall comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be accompanied by the certified copy of the court order furnished by the lienholder and the existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle. The lienholder shall execute the assignment and warranty of title showing the name and address of the purchaser in the spaces provided therefor on the certificate of title or as the Secretary of State prescribes. The lienholder shall complete the assignment of title in the certificate of title to reflect the transfer of the vehicle to the lienholder and also a reassignment to reflect the transfer from the lienholder to the purchaser. For this purpose, the lienholder is specifically authorized to execute the assignment on behalf of the owner as seller if the owner has not done so and to complete and execute the space reserved in the certificate of title for a dealer
117 [April 4, 2001] reassignment, notwithstanding that the lienholder is not a licensed dealer. Nothing herein shall be construed to mean that the lienholder is taking title to the repossessed vehicle for purposes of liability for retailer occupation, vehicle use, or other tax with respect to the proceeds from the repossession sale. Delivery of the existing certificate of title to the purchaser shall be deemed disclosure to the purchaser of the owner of the vehicle. In the event the lienholder does not hold the certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle, the lienholder shall make application for and may obtain a new certificate of title in the name of the lienholder upon furnishing information satisfactory to the Secretary of State. Upon receiving the new certificate of title, the lienholder may proceed with the sale described in this subsection, except that upon selling the vehicle the lienholder shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser the new certificate of title reflecting the assignment and transfer of title to the purchaser. (f-15) The Secretary of State shall not issue a certificate of title to a purchaser under subsection (f), (f-5), or (f-10) of this Section, unless the person from whom the vehicle has been repossessed by the lienholder is shown to be the last registered owner of the motor vehicle. The Secretary of State may provide by rule for the standards to be followed by a lienholder in assigning and transferring certificates of title with respect to repossessed vehicles. (f-20) If applying for a salvage certificate or a junking certificate, the lienholder shall within 20 days make an application to the Secretary of State for a salvage certificate or a junking certificate, as set forth in this Code. The Secretary of State shall not issue a salvage certificate or a junking certificate to such lienholder unless the person from whom such vehicle has been repossessed is shown to be the last registered owner of such motor vehicle and such lienholder establishes to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State that he is entitled to such salvage certificate or junking certificate. The Secretary of State may provide by rule for the standards to be followed by a lienholder in order to obtain a salvage certificate or junking certificate for a repossessed vehicle. (g) A person holding a certificate of title whose interest in the vehicle has been extinguished or transferred other than by voluntary transfer shall mail or deliver the certificate, within 20 days upon request of the Secretary of State. The delivery of the certificate pursuant to the request of the Secretary of State does not affect the rights of the person surrendering the certificate, and the action of the Secretary of State in issuing a new certificate of title as provided herein is not conclusive upon the rights of an owner or lienholder named in the old certificate. (h) The Secretary of State may decline to process any application for a transfer of an interest in a vehicle hereunder if any fees or taxes due under this Act from the transferor or the transferee have not been paid upon reasonable notice and demand. (i) The Secretary of State shall not be held civilly or criminally liable to any person because any purported transferor may not have had the power or authority to make a transfer of any interest in any vehicle or because a certificate of title issued in error is subsequently used to commit a fraudulent act.

[April 4, 2001] 118 lien or encumbrance, indicated upon such certificate of title.

Upon selling the vehicle to another person, the lienholder need not send the certificate of title to the Secretary of State, but shall promptly and within 20 days mail or deliver to the purchaser as transferee the existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle, reflecting the release of the lienholder's security interest in the vehicle. The application for a certificate of title made by the purchaser shall comply with subsection (a) of Section 3-104 and be accompanied by the existing certificate of title for the repossessed vehicle.

(b) Every person who engages in emergency excavation or demolition within the boundaries of a municipality of at least one million persons which operates its own one-call notice system shall take all reasonable precautions to avoid or minimize interference between the emergency work and existing underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area, through the municipality's one-call notice system, and shall notify, as far in advance as possible, the owners and operators of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the emergency excavation or demolition area, through the municipality's one-call notice system. (c) The reinstallation of traffic control devices shall be deemed
[April 4, 2001] 126 an emergency for purposes of this Section. (Source: P.A. 86-674; 87-125.) (220 ILCS 50/7) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1607) Sec. 7. Damage or dislocation. In the event of any damage to or dislocation of any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in connection with any excavation or demolition, emergency or nonemergency, the person responsible for the excavation or demolition operations shall immediately notify the affected utility and the State-Wide One-Call Notice System owner of such facilities. (Source: P.A. 86-674.) (220 ILCS 50/8) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1608) Sec. 8. Liability or financial responsibility. (a) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to affect or determine the financial responsibility for any operation under this Act or liability of any person for any damages that occur unless specifically stated otherwise. (b) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to provide for liability or financial responsibility of the Department of Transportation, its officers and employees concerning any underground utility facility or CATS facility located on highway right-of-way by permit issued under the provisions of Section 9-113 of the Illinois Highway Code. It is not the intent of this Act to change any remedies in law regarding the duty of providing lateral support. (c) Neither the State-Wide One-Call Notice System nor any of its officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for damages for injuries or death to persons or damage to property caused by acts or omissions in the receipt, recording, or transmission of locate requests or other information in the performance of its duties as the State-Wide One-Call Notice System, unless the act or omission was the result of willful and wanton misconduct. (d) A person owning, operating, or locating underground facilities or CATS facilities may voluntarily locate any similar facility that is privately owned and attached to the facility owner's or operator's system in the area of the proposed excavation or demolition at the request of the owner of the facility. If the locating is done at the request of the owner of the facility without charge or fee and the facility is mismarked and damaged, the person owning, operating, or locating the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities shall not be liable for any resulting injury, death, or property damage. (e) Any residential property owner who fails to comply with any provision of this Act and damages underground utility facilities or CATS facilities while engaging in excavation or demolition on such residential property shall not be subject to a penalty under this Act, but shall be liable for the damage caused to the owner or operator of the damaged underground utility facilities or CATS facilities. (Source: P.A. 86-674; 87-125.) (220 ILCS 50/10) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1610) Sec. 10. Record of notice; marking of facilities. Upon notice by the person engaged in excavation or demolition, the person owning or operating underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in or near the excavation or demolition area shall cause a written record to be made of the notice and shall mark, within 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) of receipt of notice, the approximate locations of such facilities so as to enable the person excavating or demolishing to establish the location of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities. All persons subject to the requirements of this Act shall plan and conduct their work consistent with reasonable business practices. Conditions may exist making it unreasonable to request that locations be marked within 48 hours. It is unreasonable to request owners and operators of underground utility facilities and CATS facilities to locate all of their facilities in an affected area upon short notice in advance of a large or extensive nonemergency project, or to request extensive locates in excess of a reasonable excavation or demolition work schedule, or to request locates under conditions where a repeat request is likely to be made because of the passage of time or adverse
127 [April 4, 2001] job conditions. Owners and operators of underground utility facilities and CATS facilities must reasonably anticipate seasonal fluctuations in the number of locate requests and staff accordingly. Marking need not be accomplished more than 48 hours in advance of the time excavation or demolition of daily segments of the excavation or demolition are scheduled to begin. If a person owning or operating underground utility facilities or CATS facilities receives a notice under this Section but does not own or operate any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities within the proposed excavation or demolition area described in the notice, that person, within 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) after receipt of the notice, shall so notify the person engaged in excavation or demolition who initiated the notice, unless the person who initiated the notice expressly waives the right to be notified that no facilities are located within the excavation or demolition area. The notification by the owner or operator of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities to the person engaged in excavation or demolition may be provided in any reasonable manner including, but not limited to, notification in any one of the following ways: by face-to-face communication; by phone or phone message; by facsimile; by posting in the excavation or demolition area; or by marking the excavation or demolition area. The owner or operator of those facilities has discharged the owner's or operator's obligation to provide notice under this Section if the owner or operator attempts to provide notice by telephone or by facsimile, if the person has supplied a facsimile number, but is unable to do so because the person engaged in the excavation or demolition does not answer his or her telephone or does not have an answering machine or answering service to receive the telephone call or does not have a facsimile machine in operation to receive the facsimile transmission. If the owner or operator attempts to provide notice by telephone or by facsimile but receives a busy signal, that attempt shall not serve to discharge the owner or operator of the obligation to provide notice under this Section. A person engaged in excavation or demolition may expressly waive the right to notification from the owner or operator of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities that the owner or operator has no facilities located in the proposed excavation or demolition area. Waiver of notice is only permissible in the case of regular or nonemergency locate requests. The waiver must be made at the time of the notice to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. A waiver made under this Section is not admissible as evidence in any criminal or civil action that may arise out of, or is in any way related to, the excavation or demolition that is the subject of the waiver. For the purposes of this Act, underground facility operators may utilize a combination of flags, stakes, and paint when possible on non-paved surfaces and when dig site and seasonal conditions warrant the "approximate location" of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities is defined as a strip of land at least 3 feet wide but not wider than the width of the underground facility or CATS facility plus 1 1/2 feet on either side of such facility. If the approximate location of an underground utility facility or CATS facility is marked with stakes or other physical means, the following color coding shall be employed: Utility or Community Antenna Identification Color Television Systems and Type of Product Electric Power, Distribution and Transmission......................

(220 ILCS 50/11) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1611) Sec. 11. Penalties; liability; fund. (a) Every person who, while engaging in excavation or demolition, wilfully fails to comply with the Act by failing to provide the notice to the owners or operators of the underground facilities or CATS facility near the excavation or demolition area through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System as required by Section 4 of this Act and damages any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities, shall be subject to a penalty fine of up to $5,000 no more than $200 for each separate offense and shall be liable for the damage caused to the owners or operators of the facility. (b) Every person who, while engaging in excavation or demolition, and has provided the notice to the owners or operators of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System as required by Section 4 of this Act, but otherwise wilfully fails to comply with this Act and damages any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities, shall be subject to a penalty fine of up to $2,500 no more than $100 for each separate offense and shall be liable for the damage caused to the owners or operators of the facility. (c) Every person who, while engaging in excavation or demolition, and has provided the notice to the owners or operators of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System as required by Section 4 of this Act, but otherwise, while acting reasonably, damages any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities, shall not be subject to a penalty, fine but shall be liable for the damage caused to the owners or operators of the facility provided the underground utility facility or CATS facility is properly marked as provided in Section 10 of this Act. (d) Every person who, while engaging in excavation or demolition, provides notice to the owners or operators of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System as an emergency locate request and the locate request is not an emergency locate request as defined in Section 2.6 of this Act shall be subject to a penalty of up to $2,500 for each separate offense. (e) Owners and operators of underground utility facilities or CATS community antenna television systems facilities who wilfully fail to comply with this Act by a failure to mark or to properly mark the location of an underground utility or CATS facility shall be subject to a penalty fine of up to $5,000 no more than $200 for each separate offense each violation resulting from the failure to mark or properly mark an underground utility facility or CATS facility. No person shall be subject to such fine if the owner or operator of the underground utility facilities erred in marking or failed to mark such facilities as provided in Section 10 of this Act and no willful damage has been committed. (f) As provided in Section 3 of this Act, all owners or operators of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities who fail to join the State-Wide One-Call Notice System by January 1, 2003 shall be subject to a penalty of $100 per day for each separate offense. Every day an owner or operator falls to join the State-Wide One-Call Notice System is a separate offense. This subsection (f) does not apply to utilities operating facilities or CATS facilities exclusively within the boundaries of a municipality with a population of at least 1,000,000 persons. (g) No owner or operator of underground utility facilities or CATS community antenna television systems facilities shall be subject to a
129 [April 4, 2001] penalty fine where a delay in marking or a failure to mark or properly mark the location of an underground utility or CATS facility is caused by conditions beyond the reasonable control of such owner or operator. (h) Any person who is not an agent, employee, or authorized locating contractor of the owner or operator of the underground utility facility or CATS facility who removes, alters, or otherwise damages markings, flags, or stakes used to mark the location of an underground utility or CATS facility other than during the course of the excavation for which the markings were made or before completion of the project shall be subject to a penalty up to $1,000 for each separate offense. (i) The excavator shall exercise due care at all times to protect underground utility facilities and CATS facilities. If, after proper notification through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System and upon arrival at the site of a proposed excavation, the excavator observes clear evidence of the presence of an unmarked utility or CATS facility in the area of the proposed excavation, the excavator shall not begin excavating until 2 hours after an additional call is made to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System for the area. The operator of the utility or CATS facility shall respond within 2 hours of the excavator's call to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. (j) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall have the power and jurisdiction to, and shall, enforce the provisions of this Act. The Illinois Commerce Commission may impose administrative penalties as provided in this Section. The Illinois Commerce Commission may promulgate rules and develop enforcement policies in order to implement compliance with this Act. When a penalty is warranted, the following criteria shall be used in determining the magnitude of the penalty: (1) gravity of noncompliance; (2) culpability of offender; (3) history of noncompliance; (4) ability to pay penalty; (5) show of good faith of offender; (6) ability to continue business; and (7) other special circumstances. In the event that a person has given proper notice, the owner or operator of the underground utility facility or CATS facility has marked the approximate location and that person is unable to physically locate the underground utility facility or CATS facility, where other than an "open cut" method of locating must be used, within a reasonable time due to conditions beyond his control and that person has notified the State-Wide One-Call notice system of the owner or operator of the underground utility facility or CATS facility of the need for additional and more precise markings of approximate locations and the owner or operator has not further and more precisely marked or located the underground utility facility or CATS facility within 48 hours of receiving such notice, then the person excavating or demolishing, exercising reasonable care, shall not be liable for damages to the facilities. Actions to recover the penalty provided for in this Section shall be brought by the State's Attorney of the county where the damage occurred, at the request of the owner or operator of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities damaged, or at the request of any person when the owner or operator fails to comply with this Act, or at the request of the Illinois Commerce Commission in the name of the People of the State of Illinois, in the circuit court for that county, or for the county in which the person complained of has its principal place of business or resides. (k) There is hereby created in the State treasury a special fund to be known as the Illinois Underground Utility Facilities Damage Prevention Fund. All penalties recovered in any action under this Section shall be paid into the Fund and shall be distributed annually as a grant to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System to be used in safety and informational programs to reduce the number of incidents of damage to underground utility facilities and CATS facilities in Illinois. The distribution shall be made during January of each calendar year based on the balance in the Illinois Underground Utility Facilities Damage Prevention Fund as of December 31 of the previous
[April 4, 2001] 130 calendar year. In all such actions under this Section, the procedure and rules of evidence shall conform with the Code of Civil Procedure, and with rules of courts governing civil trials. (l) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall establish an Advisory Committee consisting of a representative from each of the following: utility operator, JULIE, excavator, municipality, and the general public. The Advisory Committee shall serve as a peer review panel for any contested penalties resulting from the enforcement of this Act. The members of the Advisory Committee shall be immune, individually and jointly, from civil liability for any act or omission done or made in performance of their duties while serving as members of such Advisory Committee, unless the act or omission was the result of willful and wanton misconduct. (m) Any final order or decision of the Advisory Committee may be reviewed as provided in the Administrative Review Law and the rules adopted pursuant thereto. Any residential property owner that fails to comply with any provision of this Act and damages underground utility facilities or CATS facilities while engaging in excavation or demolition on land owned by the residential property owner shall not be subject to a fine but shall be liable for the damage caused to the owner or operator of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities.

"Approximate location" means a strip of land at least 3 feet wide, but not wider than the width of the underground facility or CATS facility plus 1.5 feet on either side of the facility. (220 ILCS 50/4) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1604) Sec. 4. Required activities. Every person who engages in nonemergency excavation or demolition shall:
[April 4, 2001] 132 (a) take reasonable action to inform himself of the location of any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the area for which such operation is to be conducted; (b) plan the excavation or demolition to avoid or minimize interference with underground utility facilities or CATS facilities within the tolerance zone by utilizing such precautions that include, but are not limited to, hand excavation, vacuum excavation methods, and visually inspecting the excavation while in progress until clear of the existing marked facility in and near the construction area; (c) if practical, use white paint, flags, stakes, or both, to outline the dig site; (d) (c) provide notice not more than 14 days nor less than 48 hours (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) in advance of the start of the excavation or demolition to the owners or operators of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System or, in the case of nonemergency excavation or demolition within the boundaries of a municipality of at least one million persons which operates its own one-call notice system, through the one-call notice system which operates in that municipality; (e) (d) provide, during and following excavation or demolition, such support for existing underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area as may be reasonably necessary for the protection of such facilities unless otherwise agreed to by the owner or operator of the underground facility or CATS facility; and (f) (e) backfill all excavations in such manner and with such materials as may be reasonably necessary for the protection of existing underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area. At a minimum, the notice required under clause (d) (c) shall provide: (1) the person's name, address, and (i) phone number at which a person message can be reached and left or (ii) fax number; (2) the start date of the planned excavation or demolition; (3) the address at which the excavation or demolition will take place; and (4) the type and extent of the work involved; and. (5) section/quarter sections when the above information does not allow the State-Wide One-Call Notice System to determine the appropriate geographic section/quarter sections. This item (5) does not apply to residential property owners. Nothing in this Section prohibits the use of any method of excavation if conducted in a manner that would avoid interference with underground utility facilities or CATS facilities.

When the Illinois Department of Transportation notifies an owner or operator of an underground utility facility or CATS facility that the Department will conduct a preconstruction conference concerning new construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of State highways in and near the area in which such owner or operator has placed underground utility facilities, such notification shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section constitute compliance by the Department or its contractors with paragraphs (a), (b), and (d) (c) of Section 4 of this Act. In instances when notification of a preconstruction conference is provided to the owner or operator of an underground utility facility or CATS facility but no specific date is established at the preconstruction conference for the new construction, reconstruction or maintenance of State highways in and near the area in which the owner or operator has placed underground utility facilities or CATS facilities, then the Department or its contractors shall later comply with paragraph (d) (c) of Section 4 of this Act.

133 [April 4, 2001] (220 ILCS 50/6) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1606) Sec. 6. Emergency excavation or demolition. (a) Every person who engages in emergency excavation or demolition outside of the boundaries of a municipality of at least one million persons which operates its own one-call notice system shall take all reasonable precautions to avoid or minimize interference between the emergency work and existing underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area, through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System, and shall notify, as far in advance as possible, the owners or operators of such underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the emergency excavation or demolition area, through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. At a minimum, the notice required under this subsection (a) shall provide: (1) the person's name, address, and (i) phone number at which a person can be reached and (ii) fax number; (2) the start date of the planned emergency excavation or demolition; (3) the address at which the excavation or demolition will take place; and (4) the type and extent of the work involved. A 2-hour wait time exists after an emergency locate notification request is made through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. If the conditions at the site dictate an earlier start than the 2-hour wait time, it is the responsibility of the excavator to demonstrate that site conditions warranted this earlier start time. (b) Every person who engages in emergency excavation or demolition within the boundaries of a municipality of at least one million persons which operates its own one-call notice system shall take all reasonable precautions to avoid or minimize interference between the emergency work and existing underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area, through the municipality's one-call notice system, and shall notify, as far in advance as possible, the owners and operators of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the emergency excavation or demolition area, through the municipality's one-call notice system. (c) The reinstallation of traffic control devices shall be deemed an emergency for purposes of this Section. (Source: P.A. 86-674; 87-125.) (220 ILCS 50/7) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1607) Sec. 7. Damage or dislocation. In the event of any damage to or dislocation of any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in connection with any excavation or demolition, emergency or nonemergency, the person responsible for the excavation or demolition operations shall immediately notify the affected utility and the State-Wide One-Call Notice System owner of such facilities. (Source: P.A. 86-674.) (220 ILCS 50/8) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1608) Sec. 8. Liability or financial responsibility. (a) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to affect or determine the financial responsibility for any operation under this Act or liability of any person for any damages that occur unless specifically stated otherwise. (b) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to provide for liability or financial responsibility of the Department of Transportation, its officers and employees concerning any underground utility facility or CATS facility located on highway right-of-way by permit issued under the provisions of Section 9-113 of the Illinois Highway Code. It is not the intent of this Act to change any remedies in law regarding the duty of providing lateral support. (c) Neither the State-Wide One-Call Notice System nor any of its officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for damages for injuries or death to persons or damage to property caused by acts or omissions in the receipt, recording, or transmission of locate requests or other information in the performance of its duties as the State-Wide One-Call Notice System, unless the act or omission was the result of willful and wanton misconduct.
[April 4, 2001] 134 (d) Any residential property owner who fails to comply with any provision of this Act and damages underground utility facilities or CATS facilities while engaging in excavation or demolition on such residential property shall not be subject to a penalty under this Act, but shall be liable for the damage caused to the owner or operator of the damaged underground utility facilities or CATS facilities. (Source: P.A. 86-674; 87-125.) (220 ILCS 50/10) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1610) Sec. 10. Record of notice; marking of facilities. Upon notice by the person engaged in excavation or demolition, the person owning or operating underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in or near the excavation or demolition area shall cause a written record to be made of the notice and shall mark, within 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) of receipt of notice, the approximate locations of such facilities so as to enable the person excavating or demolishing to establish the location of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities. All persons subject to the requirements of this Act shall plan and conduct their work consistent with reasonable business practices. Conditions may exist making it unreasonable to request that locations be marked within 48 hours. It is unreasonable to request owners and operators of underground utility facilities and CATS facilities to locate all of their facilities in an affected area upon short notice in advance of a large or extensive nonemergency project, or to request extensive locates in excess of a reasonable excavation or demolition work schedule, or to request locates under conditions where a repeat request is likely to be made because of the passage of time or adverse job conditions. Owners and operators of underground utility facilities and CATS facilities must reasonably anticipate seasonal fluctuations in the number of locate requests and staff accordingly. Marking need not be accomplished more than 48 hours in advance of the time excavation or demolition of daily segments of the excavation or demolition are scheduled to begin. If a person owning or operating underground utility facilities or CATS facilities receives a notice under this Section but does not own or operate any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities within the proposed excavation or demolition area described in the notice, that person, within 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) after receipt of the notice, shall so notify the person engaged in excavation or demolition who initiated the notice, unless the person who initiated the notice expressly waives the right to be notified that no facilities are located within the excavation or demolition area. The notification by the owner or operator of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities to the person engaged in excavation or demolition may be provided in any reasonable manner including, but not limited to, notification in any one of the following ways: by face-to-face communication; by phone or phone message; by facsimile; by posting in the excavation or demolition area; or by marking the excavation or demolition area. The owner or operator of those facilities has discharged the owner's or operator's obligation to provide notice under this Section if the owner or operator attempts to provide notice by telephone or by facsimile, if the person has supplied a facsimile number, but is unable to do so because the person engaged in the excavation or demolition does not answer his or her telephone or does not have an answering machine or answering service to receive the telephone call or does not have a facsimile machine in operation to receive the facsimile transmission. If the owner or operator attempts to provide notice by telephone or by facsimile but receives a busy signal, that attempt shall not serve to discharge the owner or operator of the obligation to provide notice under this Section. A person engaged in excavation or demolition may expressly waive the right to notification from the owner or operator of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities that the owner or operator has no facilities located in the proposed excavation or demolition area. Waiver of notice is only permissible in the case of regular or nonemergency locate requests. The waiver must be made at the time of
135 [April 4, 2001] the notice to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. A waiver made under this Section is not admissible as evidence in any criminal or civil action that may arise out of, or is in any way related to, the excavation or demolition that is the subject of the waiver. For the purposes of this Act, underground facility operators may utilize a combination of flags, stakes, and paint when possible on non-paved surfaces and when dig site and seasonal conditions warrant the "approximate location" of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities is defined as a strip of land at least 3 feet wide but not wider than the width of the underground facility or CATS facility plus 1 1/2 feet on either side of such facility. If the approximate location of an underground utility facility or CATS facility is marked with stakes or other physical means, the following color coding shall be employed: Utility or Community Antenna Identification Color Television Systems and Type of Product Electric Power, Distribution and Transmission...................... Safety Red Municipal Electric Systems............ Safety Red Gas Distribution and Transmission..... High Visibility Safety Yellow Oil Distribution and Transmission..... High Visibility Safety Yellow Telephone and Telegraph Systems....... Safety Alert Orange Community Antenna Television Systems.. Safety Alert Orange Water Systems.........................

(220 ILCS 50/11) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 1611) Sec. 11. Penalties; liability; fund. (a) Every person who, while engaging in excavation or demolition, wilfully fails to comply with the Act by failing to provide the notice to the owners or operators of the underground facilities or CATS facility near the excavation or demolition area through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System as required by Section 4 of this Act and damages any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities, shall be subject to a penalty fine of up to $5,000 no more than $200 for each separate offense and shall be liable for the damage caused to the owners or operators of the facility. (b) Every person who, while engaging in excavation or demolition, and has provided the notice to the owners or operators of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System as required by Section 4 of this Act, but otherwise wilfully fails to comply with this Act and damages any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities, shall be subject to a penalty fine of up to $2,500 no more than $100 for each separate offense and shall be liable for the damage caused to the owners or operators of the facility. (c) Every person who, while engaging in excavation or demolition, and has provided the notice to the owners or operators of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities in and near the excavation or demolition area through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System as required by Section 4 of this Act, but otherwise, while acting reasonably, damages any underground utility facilities or CATS facilities, shall not be subject to a penalty, fine but shall be liable for the damage caused to the owners or operators of the facility provided the underground utility facility or CATS facility is properly marked as provided in Section 10 of this Act. (d) Every person who, while engaging in excavation or demolition,
[April 4, 2001] 136 provides notice to the owners or operators of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System as an emergency locate request and the locate request is not an emergency locate request as defined in Section 2.6 of this Act shall be subject to a penalty of up to $2,500 for each separate offense. (e) Owners and operators of underground utility facilities or CATS community antenna television systems facilities who wilfully fail to comply with this Act by a failure to mark or to properly mark the location of an underground utility or CATS facility, after being notified of planned excavation or demolition through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System, shall be subject to a penalty fine of up to $5,000 no more than $200 for each separate offense each violation resulting from the failure to mark or properly mark an underground utility facility or CATS facility. No person shall be subject to such fine if the owner or operator of the underground utility facilities erred in marking or failed to mark such facilities as provided in Section 10 of this Act and no willful damage has been committed. (f) As provided in Section 3 of this Act, all owners or operators of underground utility facilities or CATS facilities who fail to join the State-Wide One-Call Notice System by January 1, 2003 shall be subject to a penalty of $100 per day for each separate offense. Every day an owner or operator falls to join the State-Wide One-Call Notice System is a separate offense. This subsection (f) does not apply to utilities operating facilities or CATS facilities exclusively within the boundaries of a municipality with a population of at least 1,000,000 persons. (g) No owner or operator of underground utility facilities or CATS community antenna television systems facilities shall be subject to a penalty fine where a delay in marking or a failure to mark or properly mark the location of an underground utility or CATS facility is caused by conditions beyond the reasonable control of such owner or operator. (h) Any person who is neither an agent, employee, or authorized locating contractor of the owner or operator of the underground utility facility or CATS facility nor an excavator involved in the excavation activity who removes, alters, or otherwise damages markings, flags, or stakes used to mark the location of an underground utility or CATS facility other than during the course of the excavation for which the markings were made or before completion of the project shall be subject to a penalty up to $1,000 for each separate offense. (i) The excavator shall exercise due care at all times to protect underground utility facilities and CATS facilities. If, after proper notification through the State-Wide One-Call Notice System and upon arrival at the site of a proposed excavation, the excavator observes clear evidence of the presence of an unmarked utility or CATS facility in the area of the proposed excavation, the excavator shall not begin excavating until 2 hours after an additional call is made to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System for the area. The operator of the utility or CATS facility shall respond within 2 hours of the excavator's call to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System. (j) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall have the power and jurisdiction to, and shall, enforce the provisions of this Act. The Illinois Commerce Commission may impose administrative penalties as provided in this Section. The Illinois Commerce Commission may promulgate rules and develop enforcement policies in the manner provided by the Public Utilities Act in order to implement compliance with this Act. When a penalty is warranted, the following criteria shall be used in determining the magnitude of the penalty: (1) gravity of noncompliance; (2) culpability of offender; (3) history of noncompliance; (4) ability to pay penalty; (5) show of good faith of offender; (6) ability to continue business; and (7) other special circumstances. In the event that a person has given proper notice, the owner or operator of the underground utility facility or CATS facility has
137 [April 4, 2001] marked the approximate location and that person is unable to physically locate the underground utility facility or CATS facility, where other than an "open cut" method of locating must be used, within a reasonable time due to conditions beyond his control and that person has notified the State-Wide One-Call notice system of the owner or operator of the underground utility facility or CATS facility of the need for additional and more precise markings of approximate locations and the owner or operator has not further and more precisely marked or located the underground utility facility or CATS facility within 48 hours of receiving such notice, then the person excavating or demolishing, exercising reasonable care, shall not be liable for damages to the facilities. Actions to recover the penalty provided for in this Section shall be brought by the State's Attorney of the county where the damage occurred, at the request of the owner or operator of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities damaged, or at the request of any person when the owner or operator fails to comply with this Act, or at the request of the Illinois Commerce Commission in the name of the People of the State of Illinois, in the circuit court for that county, or for the county in which the person complained of has its principal place of business or resides. (k) There is hereby created in the State treasury a special fund to be known as the Illinois Underground Utility Facilities Damage Prevention Fund. All penalties recovered in any action under this Section shall be paid into the Fund and shall be distributed annually as a grant to the State-Wide One-Call Notice System to be used in safety and informational programs to reduce the number of incidents of damage to underground utility facilities and CATS facilities in Illinois. The distribution shall be made during January of each calendar year based on the balance in the Illinois Underground Utility Facilities Damage Prevention Fund as of December 31 of the previous calendar year. In all such actions under this Section, the procedure and rules of evidence shall conform with the Code of Civil Procedure, and with rules of courts governing civil trials. (l) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall establish an Advisory Committee consisting of a representative from each of the following: utility operator, JULIE, excavator, municipality, and the general public. The Advisory Committee shall serve as a peer review panel for any contested penalties resulting from the enforcement of this Act. The members of the Advisory Committee shall be immune, individually and jointly, from civil liability for any act or omission done or made in performance of their duties while serving as members of such Advisory Committee, unless the act or omission was the result of willful and wanton misconduct. (m) If, after the Advisory Committee has considered a particular contested penalty and performed its review functions under this Act and the Commission's rules, there remains a dispute as to whether the Commission should impose a penalty under this Act, the matter shall proceed in the manner set forth in Article X of the Public Utilities Act, including the provisions governing judicial review. Any residential property owner that fails to comply with any provision of this Act and damages underground utility facilities or CATS facilities while engaging in excavation or demolition on land owned by the residential property owner shall not be subject to a fine but shall be liable for the damage caused to the owner or operator of the underground utility facilities or CATS facilities.

Representative Saviano offered the following amendment and moved its adoption: AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO HOUSE BILL 2148 AMENDMENT NO. 5. Amend House Bill 2148, AS AMENDED, by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following: "Section 5. The Illinois Plumbing License Law is amended by changing Sections 1, 2, 3, 8, 20, and 29.5 and by adding Section 13.1
141 [April 4, 2001] as follows: (225 ILCS 320/1) (from Ch. 111, par. 1101) Sec. 1. Purpose. It has been established by scientific evidence that improper plumbing can result in the introduction of pathogenic organisms into the potable water supply, result in the escape of toxic gases into the environment, and result in potentially lethal disease and epidemic. It is further found that minimum numbers of plumbing facilities and fixtures are necessary for the comfort and convenience of workers and persons in public places. Consistent with its duty to safeguard the health of the people of this State, the General Assembly therefore declares that the regulation of plumbing and the plumbing trade is necessary for the protection of the public health, convenience, and welfare. The General Assembly therefore declares that individuals who plan, inspect, install, alter, extend, repair and maintain plumbing systems shall be individuals of proven skill. Further, the General Assembly declares that a guide for the minimum control and number of plumbing materials and fixtures, the design of plumbing systems, and the construction and installation methods of plumbing systems is essential for the protection of public health and convenience. In order to insure plumbing skill and to authoritatively establish what shall be good plumbing practice, this Act provides for the licensing of plumbers and registration of plumbing contractors and for the promulgation of a Minimum Plumbing Code of standards by the Department., This Act is therefore declared to be essential to the public interest.

(1) All planning and designing of plumbing systems and all plumbing shall be performed only by plumbers licensed under the provisions of this Act hereinafter called "licensed plumbers" and "licensed apprentice plumbers". The inspection of plumbing and plumbing systems shall be done only by the sponsor or his or her agent who shall be an Illinois licensed plumber. Nothing herein contained shall prohibit licensed plumbers or licensed apprentice plumbers under supervision from planning, designing, inspecting, installing, repairing, maintaining, altering or extending building sewers in accordance with this Act. No person who holds a license or certificate of registration under the Illinois Architecture Practice Act of 1989, or the Structural Engineering Practice Act of 1989, or the Professional Engineering Practice Act of 1989 shall be prevented from planning and designing plumbing systems. (2) Nothing herein contained shall prohibit the owner occupant or lessee occupant of a single family residence, or the owner of a single family residence under construction for his or her occupancy, from planning, installing, altering or repairing the plumbing system of such residence, provided that (i) such plumbing shall comply with the minimum standards for plumbing contained in the Illinois State Plumbing Code, and shall be subject to inspection by the Department or the local governmental unit if it retains a licensed plumber as an inspector; and (ii) such owner, owner occupant or lessee occupant shall not employ other than a plumber licensed pursuant to this Act to assist him or her. For purposes of this subsection, a person shall be considered an "occupant" if and only if he or she has taken possession of and is living in the premises as his or her bona fide sole and exclusive
[April 4, 2001] 144 residence, or, in the case of an owner of a single family residence under construction for his or her occupancy, he or she expects to take possession of and live in the premises as his or her bona fide sole and exclusive residence, and he or she has a current intention to live in such premises as his or her bona fide sole and exclusive residence for a period of not less than 6 months after the completion of the plumbing work performed pursuant to the authorization of this subsection, or, in the case of an owner of a single family residence under construction for his or her occupancy, for a period of not less than 6 months after the completion of construction of the residence.

(3) The employees of a firm, association, partnership or corporation who engage in plumbing shall be licensed plumbers or licensed apprentice plumbers. At least one member of every firm, association or partnership engaged in plumbing work, and at least one corporate officer of every corporation engaged in plumbing work, as the case may be, shall be a licensed plumber. A retired plumber cannot fulfill the requirements of this subsection (3). Plumbing contractors are also required to be registered pursuant to the provisions of this Act. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (3), it shall be lawful for an irrigation contractor registered under Section 2.5 of this Act to employ or contract with one or more licensed plumbers in connection with work on lawn sprinkler systems pursuant to Section 2.5 of this Act. (4) (a) A licensed apprentice plumber shall plan, design and install plumbing only under the supervision of the sponsor or his or her agent who is also an Illinois licensed plumber.

No licensed plumber sponsor or his or her agent may supervise 2 licensed apprentices with less than 2 years experience at the same time. The sponsor or agent shall supervise and be responsible for the plumbing performed by a licensed apprentice. (d) No agent shall supervise more than 2 licensed apprentices at the same time. (e) No licensed plumber may, in any capacity, supervise more than 2 licensed apprentice plumbers at the same time. (f) No approved apprenticeship program may sponsor more licensed apprentices than 2 times the number of licensed plumbers available to supervise those licensed apprentices. (g) No approved apprenticeship program may sponsor more licensed apprentices with less than 2 years experience than it has licensed plumbers available to supervise those licensed apprentices. (h) No individual shall work as an apprentice plumber unless he or she is properly licensed under this Act. The Department shall issue an apprentice plumber's license to each approved applicant. (i) No licensed apprentice plumber shall serve more than a 6 year licensed apprenticeship period. If, upon completion of a 6 year licensed apprenticeship period, such licensed apprentice plumber does not apply for the examination for a plumber's license and successfully pass the examination for a plumber's license, his or her apprentice plumber's license shall not be renewed.

The motion prevailed and the amendment was adopted and ordered printed. There being no further amendments, the foregoing Amendments numbered 1 and 5 were ordered engrossed; and the bill, as amended, was advanced to the order of Third Reading. HOUSE BILL 2298. Having been recalled on April 3, 2001, and held on the order of Second Reading, the same was again taken up. Representative Eileen Lyons offered the following amendment and moved its adoption: AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO HOUSE BILL 2298 AMENDMENT NO. 2. Amend House Bill 2298 as follows:
[April 4, 2001] 148 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following: "Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by changing Sections 10-2, 10-8.1, 10-10, and 10-11 as follows: (305 ILCS 5/10-2) (from Ch. 23, par. 10-2) Sec. 10-2. Extent of Liability. A husband is liable for the support of his wife and a wife for the support of her husband. The parents are severally liable for the support of any child under age 18, and for any child aged 18 who is attending high school, until that child graduates from high school, or attains the age of 19, whichever is earlier 21, except that a parent is not liable for a child age 18 or over if such child is not living with the parent or parents, and a parent is not liable for a child of any age if the child has married and is not living with the parent or parents. A child shall be considered to be living with the parent or parents if such child is absent from the parent's or parents' home only in order to regularly attend a school, college or university or to receive technical training designed for preparation for gainful employment. The term "child" includes a child born out of wedlock, or legally adopted child. In addition to the primary obligation of support imposed upon responsible relatives, such relatives, if individually or together in any combination they have sufficient income or other resources to support a needy person, in whole or in part, shall be liable for any financial aid extended under this Code to a person for whose support they are responsible, including amounts expended for funeral and burial costs. (Source: P.A. 89-641, eff. 8-9-96; 90-18, eff. 7-1-97.) (305 ILCS 5/10-8.1) Sec. 10-8.1. Temporary order for child support. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, pending the outcome of an administrative determination of parentage, the Illinois Department shall issue a temporary order for child support, upon motion by a party and a showing of clear and convincing evidence of paternity. In determining the amount of the temporary child support award, the Illinois Department shall use the guidelines and standards set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505 and in Section 505.2 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Any new or existing support order entered by the Illinois Department under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or installment of support and each judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each such judgment shall have the full force, effect, and attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced. Any such judgment is subject to modification or termination only in accordance with Section 510 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. A lien arises by operation of law against the real and personal property of the noncustodial parent for each installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial parent. All orders for support entered or modified in a case in which a party is receiving child and spouse support services under this Article X shall include a provision requiring the non-custodial parent to notify the Illinois Department, within 7 days, (i) of the name, address, and telephone number of any new employer of the non-custodial parent, (ii) whether the non-custodial parent has access to health insurance coverage through the employer or other group coverage, and, if so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered under the policy, and (iii) of any new residential or mailing address or telephone number of the non-custodial parent. In any subsequent action to enforce a support order, upon sufficient showing that diligent effort has been made to ascertain the location of the non-custodial parent, service of process or provision of notice necessary in that action may be made at the last known address of the non-custodial parent, in any manner expressly provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or this Act, which service shall be
149 [April 4, 2001] sufficient for purposes of due process. An order for support shall include a date on which the current support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no earlier than the date on which the child covered by the order will attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date on which the child's high school graduation will occur or the date on which the child will attain the age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated. The order for support shall state that the termination date does not apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Illinois Department from modifying the order. (Source: P.A. 90-18, eff. 7-1-97.) (305 ILCS 5/10-10) (from Ch. 23, par. 10-10) Sec. 10-10. Court enforcement; applicability also to persons who are not applicants or recipients. Except where the Illinois Department, by agreement, acts for the local governmental unit, as provided in Section 10-3.1, local governmental units shall refer to the State's Attorney or to the proper legal representative of the governmental unit, for judicial enforcement as herein provided, instances of non-support or insufficient support when the dependents are applicants or recipients under Article VI. The Child and Spouse Support Unit established by Section 10-3.1 may institute in behalf of the Illinois Department any actions under this Section for judicial enforcement of the support liability when the dependents are (a) applicants or recipients under Articles III, IV, V or VII; (b) applicants or recipients in a local governmental unit when the Illinois Department, by agreement, acts for the unit; or (c) non-applicants or non-recipients who are receiving support enforcement services under this Article X, as provided in Section 10-1. Where the Child and Spouse Support Unit has exercised its option and discretion not to apply the provisions of Sections 10-3 through 10-8, the failure by the Unit to apply such provisions shall not be a bar to bringing an action under this Section. Action shall be brought in the circuit court to obtain support, or for the recovery of aid granted during the period such support was not provided, or both for the obtainment of support and the recovery of the aid provided. Actions for the recovery of aid may be taken separately or they may be consolidated with actions to obtain support. Such actions may be brought in the name of the person or persons requiring support, or may be brought in the name of the Illinois Department or the local governmental unit, as the case requires, in behalf of such persons. The court may enter such orders for the payment of moneys for the support of the person as may be just and equitable and may direct payment thereof for such period or periods of time as the circumstances require, including support for a period before the date the order for support is entered. The order may be entered against any or all of the defendant responsible relatives and may be based upon the proportionate ability of each to contribute to the person's support. The Court shall determine the amount of child support (including child support for a period before the date the order for child support is entered) by using the guidelines and standards set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505 and in Section 505.2 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. For purposes of determining the amount of child support to be paid for a period before the date the order for child support is entered, there is a rebuttable presumption that the responsible relative's net income for that period was the same as his or her net income at the time the order is entered. If (i) the responsible relative was properly served with a request for discovery of financial information relating to the responsible relative's ability to provide child support, (ii) the responsible relative failed to comply with the request, despite having been ordered to do so by the court, and (iii) the responsible relative is not present at the hearing to determine support despite having received
[April 4, 2001] 150 proper notice, then any relevant financial information concerning the responsible relative's ability to provide child support that was obtained pursuant to subpoena and proper notice shall be admitted into evidence without the need to establish any further foundation for its admission. An order entered under this Section shall include a provision requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the clerk of court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new employment, and each time the obligor's employment is terminated for any reason. The report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new employment, include the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report new employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for failure to report new employment bond shall be set in the amount of the child support that should have been paid during the period of unreported employment. An order entered under this Section shall also include a provision requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change except when the court finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a party or that of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered by disclosure of the party's address. The Court shall determine the amount of maintenance using the standards set forth in Section 504 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Any new or existing support order entered by the court under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or installment of support and each such judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each such judgment shall have the full force, effect and attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced. Any such judgment is subject to modification or termination only in accordance with Section 510 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. A lien arises by operation of law against the real and personal property of the noncustodial parent for each installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial parent. When an order is entered for the support of a minor, the court may provide therein for reasonable visitation of the minor by the person or persons who provided support pursuant to the order. Whoever willfully refuses to comply with such visitation order or willfully interferes with its enforcement may be declared in contempt of court and punished therefor. Except where the local governmental unit has entered into an agreement with the Illinois Department for the Child and Spouse Support Unit to act for it, as provided in Section 10-3.1, support orders entered by the court in cases involving applicants or recipients under Article VI shall provide that payments thereunder be made directly to the local governmental unit. Orders for the support of all other applicants or recipients shall provide that payments thereunder be made directly to the Illinois Department. In accordance with federal law and regulations, the Illinois Department may continue to collect current maintenance payments or child support payments, or both, after those persons cease to receive public assistance and until termination of services under Article X. The Illinois Department shall pay the net amount collected to those persons after deducting any costs incurred in making the collection or any collection fee from the amount of any recovery made. In both cases the order shall permit the local governmental unit or the Illinois Department, as the case may be, to direct the responsible relative or relatives to make support payments directly to the needy person, or to some person or agency in his behalf, upon removal of the person from the public aid rolls or upon termination of services under Article X. If the notice of support due issued pursuant to Section 10-7 directs that support payments be made directly to the needy person, or
151 [April 4, 2001] to some person or agency in his behalf, and the recipient is removed from the public aid rolls, court action may be taken against the responsible relative hereunder if he fails to furnish support in accordance with the terms of such notice. Actions may also be brought under this Section in behalf of any person who is in need of support from responsible relatives, as defined in Section 2-11 of Article II who is not an applicant for or recipient of financial aid under this Code. In such instances, the State's Attorney of the county in which such person resides shall bring action against the responsible relatives hereunder. If the Illinois Department, as authorized by Section 10-1, extends the support services provided by this Article to spouses and dependent children who are not applicants or recipients under this Code, the Child and Spouse Support Unit established by Section 10-3.1 shall bring action against the responsible relatives hereunder and any support orders entered by the court in such cases shall provide that payments thereunder be made directly to the Illinois Department. Whenever it is determined in a proceeding to establish or enforce a child support or maintenance obligation that the person owing a duty of support is unemployed, the court may order the person to seek employment and report periodically to the court with a diary, listing or other memorandum of his or her efforts in accordance with such order. Additionally, the court may order the unemployed person to report to the Department of Employment Security for job search services or to make application with the local Job Jobs Training Partnership Act provider for participation in job search, training or work programs and where the duty of support is owed to a child receiving support services under this Article X, the court may order the unemployed person to report to the Illinois Department for participation in job search, training or work programs established under Section 9-6 and Article IXA of this Code. Whenever it is determined that a person owes past-due support for a child receiving assistance under this Code, the court shall order at the request of the Illinois Department: (1) that the person pay the past-due support in accordance with a plan approved by the court; or (2) if the person owing past-due support is unemployed, is subject to such a plan, and is not incapacitated, that the person participate in such job search, training, or work programs established under Section 9-6 and Article IXA of this Code as the court deems appropriate. A determination under this Section shall not be administratively reviewable by the procedures specified in Sections 10-12, and 10-13 to 10-13.10. Any determination under these Sections, if made the basis of court action under this Section, shall not affect the de novo judicial determination required under this Section. A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988 which has accrued under a support order entered by the court. The charge shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10-21 of this Code and shall be enforced by the court upon petition. All orders for support, when entered or modified, shall include a provision requiring the non-custodial parent to notify the court and, in cases in which a party is receiving child and spouse support services under this Article X, the Illinois Department, within 7 days, (i) of the name, address, and telephone number of any new employer of the non-custodial parent, (ii) whether the non-custodial parent has access to health insurance coverage through the employer or other group coverage and, if so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered under the policy, and (iii) of any new residential or mailing address or telephone number of the non-custodial parent. In any subsequent action to enforce a support order, upon a sufficient showing that a diligent effort has been made to ascertain the location of the non-custodial parent, service of process or provision of notice necessary in the case may be made at the last known address of the non-custodial parent in any manner expressly provided by the Code of
[April 4, 2001] 152 Civil Procedure or this Code, which service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process. An order for support shall include a date on which the current support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no earlier than the date on which the child covered by the order will attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date on which the child's high school graduation will occur or the date on which the child will attain the age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated. The order for support shall state that the termination date does not apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the court from modifying the order. Upon notification in writing or by electronic transmission from the Illinois Department to the clerk of the court that a person who is receiving support payments under this Section is receiving services under the Child Support Enforcement Program established by Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, any support payments subsequently received by the clerk of the court shall be transmitted in accordance with the instructions of the Illinois Department until the Illinois Department gives notice to the clerk of the court to cease the transmittal. After providing the notification authorized under this paragraph, the Illinois Department shall be entitled as a party to notice of any further proceedings in the case. The clerk of the court shall file a copy of the Illinois Department's notification in the court file. The clerk's failure to file a copy of the notification in the court file shall not, however, affect the Illinois Department's right to receive notice of further proceedings. Payments under this Section to the Illinois Department pursuant to the Child Support Enforcement Program established by Title IV-D of the Social Security Act shall be paid into the Child Support Enforcement Trust Fund. All payments under this Section to the Illinois Department of Human Services shall be deposited in the DHS Recoveries Trust Fund. Disbursements from these funds shall be as provided in Sections 12-9.1 and 12-10.2 of this Code. Payments received by a local governmental unit shall be deposited in that unit's General Assistance Fund. To the extent the provisions of this Section are inconsistent with the requirements pertaining to the State Disbursement Unit under Sections 10-10.4 and 10-26 of this Code, the requirements pertaining to the State Disbursement Unit shall apply.

(305 ILCS 5/10-11) (from Ch. 23, par. 10-11) Sec. 10-11. Administrative Orders. In lieu of actions for court enforcement of support under Section 10-10, the Child and Spouse Support Unit of the Illinois Department, in accordance with the rules of the Illinois Department, may issue an administrative order requiring the responsible relative to comply with the terms of the determination and notice of support due, determined and issued under Sections 10-6 and 10-7. The Unit may also enter an administrative order under subsection (b) of Section 10-7. The administrative order shall be served upon the responsible relative by United States registered or certified mail. In cases in which the responsible relative appeared at the office of the Child and Spouse Support Unit in response to the notice of support obligation issued under Section 10-4, however, or in cases of default in which the notice was served on the responsible relative by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by any method provided by law for service of summons, the administrative determination of paternity or administrative support order may be sent to the responsible relative by ordinary mail addressed to the responsible relative's last known address. If a responsible relative or a person receiving child and spouse support services under this Article fails to petition the Illinois
153 [April 4, 2001] Department for release from or modification of the administrative order, as provided in Section 10-12 or Section 10-12.1, the order shall become final and there shall be no further administrative or judicial remedy. Likewise a decision by the Illinois Department as a result of an administrative hearing, as provided in Sections 10-13 to 10-13.10, shall become final and enforceable if not judicially reviewed under the Administrative Review Law, as provided in Section 10-14. Any new or existing support order entered by the Illinois Department under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or installment of support and each such judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each such judgment shall have the full force, effect and attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced. Any such judgment is subject to modification or termination only in accordance with Section 510 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. A lien arises by operation of law against the real and personal property of the noncustodial parent for each installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial parent. An order entered under this Section shall include a provision requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the clerk of court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new employment, and each time the obligor's employment is terminated for any reason. The report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new employment, include the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report new employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for failure to report new employment bond shall be set in the amount of the child support that should have been paid during the period of unreported employment. An order entered under this Section shall also include a provision requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change except when the court finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a party or that of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered by disclosure of the party's address. A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988, which has accrued under a support order entered by the Illinois Department under this Section. The charge shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10-21 and shall be enforced by the court in a suit filed under Section 10-15. An order for support shall include a date on which the support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no earlier than the date on which the child covered by the order will attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date that the child's graduation will occur or the date on which the child will attain the age of 19. (Source: P.A. 90-18, eff. 7-1-97; 90-539, eff. 6-1-98; 90-655, eff. 7-30-98; 90-790, eff. 8-14-98; 91-212, eff. 7-20-99.) Section 10. The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act is amended by changing Sections 505, 505.2, 510, and 513 as follows: (750 ILCS 5/505) (from Ch. 40, par. 505) Sec. 505. Child support; contempt; penalties. (a) In a proceeding for dissolution of marriage, legal separation, declaration of invalidity of marriage, a proceeding for child support following dissolution of the marriage by a court which lacked personal jurisdiction over the absent spouse, a proceeding for modification of a previous order for child support under Section 510 of this Act, or any proceeding authorized under Section 501 or 601 of this Act, the court may order either or both parents owing a duty of support to a child of the marriage to pay an amount reasonable and necessary for his support, without regard to marital misconduct. The duty of support owed to a
[April 4, 2001] 154 minor child includes the obligation to provide for the reasonable and necessary physical, mental and emotional health needs of the child. For purposes of this Section, the term "child" shall include any child under age 18 and any child under age 19 who is still attending high school. (1) The Court shall determine the minimum amount of support by using the following guidelines: Number of Children Percent of Supporting Party's Net Income 1 20% 2 25% 3 32% 4 40% 5 45% 6 or more 50% (2) The above guidelines shall be applied in each case unless the court makes a finding that application of the guidelines would be inappropriate, after considering the best interests of the child in light of evidence including but not limited to one or more of the following relevant factors: (a) the financial resources and needs of the child; (b) the financial resources and needs of the custodial parent; (c) the standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the marriage not been dissolved; (d) the physical and emotional condition of the child, and his educational needs; and (e) the financial resources and needs of the non-custodial parent. If the court deviates from the guidelines, the court's finding shall state the amount of support that would have been required under the guidelines, if determinable. The court shall include the reason or reasons for the variance from the guidelines. (3) "Net income" is defined as the total of all income from all sources, minus the following deductions: (a) Federal income tax (properly calculated withholding or estimated payments); (b) State income tax (properly calculated withholding or estimated payments); (c) Social Security (FICA payments); (d) Mandatory retirement contributions required by law or as a condition of employment; (e) Union dues; (f) Dependent and individual health/hospitalization insurance premiums; (g) Prior obligations of support or maintenance actually paid pursuant to a court order; (h) Expenditures for repayment of debts that represent reasonable and necessary expenses for the production of income, medical expenditures necessary to preserve life or health, reasonable expenditures for the benefit of the child and the other parent, exclusive of gifts. The court shall reduce net income in determining the minimum amount of support to be ordered only for the period that such payments are due and shall enter an order containing provisions for its self-executing modification upon termination of such payment period. (4) In cases where the court order provides for health/hospitalization insurance coverage pursuant to Section 505.2 of this Act, the premiums for that insurance, or that portion of the premiums for which the supporting party is responsible in the case of insurance provided through an employer's health insurance plan where the employer pays a portion of the premiums, shall be subtracted from net income in determining the minimum amount of support to be ordered. (4.5) In a proceeding for child support following dissolution
155 [April 4, 2001] of the marriage by a court that lacked personal jurisdiction over the absent spouse, and in which the court is requiring payment of support for the period before the date an order for current support is entered, there is a rebuttable presumption that the supporting party's net income for the prior period was the same as his or her net income at the time the order for current support is entered. (5) If the net income cannot be determined because of default or any other reason, the court shall order support in an amount considered reasonable in the particular case. The final order in all cases shall state the support level in dollar amounts. However, if the court finds that the child support amount cannot be expressed exclusively as a dollar amount because all or a portion of the payor's net income is uncertain as to source, time of payment, or amount, the court may order a percentage amount of support in addition to a specific dollar amount and enter such other orders as may be necessary to determine and enforce, on a timely basis, the applicable support ordered. (6) If (i) the non-custodial parent was properly served with a request for discovery of financial information relating to the non-custodial parent's ability to provide child support, (ii) the non-custodial parent failed to comply with the request, despite having been ordered to do so by the court, and (iii) the non-custodial parent is not present at the hearing to determine support despite having received proper notice, then any relevant financial information concerning the non-custodial parent's ability to provide child support that was obtained pursuant to subpoena and proper notice shall be admitted into evidence without the need to establish any further foundation for its admission. (a-5) In an action to enforce an order for support based on the respondent's failure to make support payments as required by the order, notice of proceedings to hold the respondent in contempt for that failure may be served on the respondent by personal service or by regular mail addressed to the respondent's last known address. The respondent's last known address may be determined from records of the clerk of the court, from the Federal Case Registry of Child Support Orders, or by any other reasonable means. (b) Failure of either parent to comply with an order to pay support shall be punishable as in other cases of contempt. In addition to other penalties provided by law the Court may, after finding the parent guilty of contempt, order that the parent be: (1) placed on probation with such conditions of probation as the Court deems advisable; (2) sentenced to periodic imprisonment for a period not to exceed 6 months; provided, however, that the Court may permit the parent to be released for periods of time during the day or night to: (A) work; or (B) conduct a business or other self-employed occupation. The Court may further order any part or all of the earnings of a parent during a sentence of periodic imprisonment paid to the Clerk of the Circuit Court or to the parent having custody or to the guardian having custody of the minor children of the sentenced parent for the support of said minor children until further order of the Court. If there is a unity of interest and ownership sufficient to render no financial separation between a non-custodial parent and another person or persons or business entity, the court may pierce the ownership veil of the person, persons, or business entity to discover assets of the non-custodial parent held in the name of that person, those persons, or that business entity. The following circumstances are sufficient to authorize a court to order discovery of the assets of a person, persons, or business entity and to compel the application of any discovered assets toward payment on the judgment for support: (1) the non-custodial parent and the person, persons, or business entity maintain records together. (2) the non-custodial parent and the person, persons, or
[April 4, 2001] 156 business entity fail to maintain an arms length relationship between themselves with regard to any assets. (3) the non-custodial parent transfers assets to the person, persons, or business entity with the intent to perpetrate a fraud on the custodial parent. With respect to assets which are real property, no order entered under this paragraph shall affect the rights of bona fide purchasers, mortgagees, judgment creditors, or other lien holders who acquire their interests in the property prior to the time a notice of lis pendens pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure or a copy of the order is placed of record in the office of the recorder of deeds for the county in which the real property is located. The court may also order in cases where the parent is 90 days or more delinquent in payment of support or has been adjudicated in arrears in an amount equal to 90 days obligation or more, that the parent's Illinois driving privileges be suspended until the court determines that the parent is in compliance with the order of support. The court may also order that the parent be issued a family financial responsibility driving permit that would allow limited driving privileges for employment and medical purposes in accordance with Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The clerk of the circuit court shall certify the order suspending the driving privileges of the parent or granting the issuance of a family financial responsibility driving permit to the Secretary of State on forms prescribed by the Secretary. Upon receipt of the authenticated documents, the Secretary of State shall suspend the parent's driving privileges until further order of the court and shall, if ordered by the court, subject to the provisions of Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, issue a family financial responsibility driving permit to the parent. In addition to the penalties or punishment that may be imposed under this Section, any person whose conduct constitutes a violation of Section 15 of the Non-Support Punishment Act may be prosecuted under that Act, and a person convicted under that Act may be sentenced in accordance with that Act. The sentence may include but need not be limited to a requirement that the person perform community service under Section 50 of that Act or participate in a work alternative program under Section 50 of that Act. A person may not be required to participate in a work alternative program under Section 50 of that Act if the person is currently participating in a work program pursuant to Section 505.1 of this Act. A support obligation, or any portion of a support obligation, which becomes due and remains unpaid for 30 days or more shall accrue interest at the rate of 9% per annum. (c) A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988 which has accrued under a support order entered by the court. The charge shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10-21 of the Illinois Public Aid Code and shall be enforced by the court upon petition. (d) Any new or existing support order entered by the court under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or installment of support and each such judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each such judgment shall have the full force, effect and attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced. A lien arises by operation of law against the real and personal property of the noncustodial parent for each installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial parent. (e) When child support is to be paid through the clerk of the court in a county of 1,000,000 inhabitants or less, the order shall direct the obligor to pay to the clerk, in addition to the child support payments, all fees imposed by the county board under paragraph (3) of subsection (u) of Section 27.1 of the Clerks of Courts Act. Unless paid in cash or pursuant to an order for withholding, the payment of the fee shall be by a separate instrument from the support
157 [April 4, 2001] payment and shall be made to the order of the Clerk. (f) All orders for support, when entered or modified, shall include a provision requiring the obligor to notify the court and, in cases in which a party is receiving child and spouse services under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid Code, the Illinois Department of Public Aid, within 7 days, (i) of the name and address of any new employer of the obligor, (ii) whether the obligor has access to health insurance coverage through the employer or other group coverage and, if so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered under the policy, and (iii) of any new residential or mailing address or telephone number of the non-custodial parent. In any subsequent action to enforce a support order, upon a sufficient showing that a diligent effort has been made to ascertain the location of the non-custodial parent, service of process or provision of notice necessary in the case may be made at the last known address of the non-custodial parent in any manner expressly provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or this Act, which service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process. (g) An order for support shall include a date on which the current support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be the date on which the child covered by the order will attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date on which the child's high school graduation will occur or the date on which the child will attain the age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated. The order for support shall state that the termination date does not apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prevent the court from modifying the order. (h) An order entered under this Section shall include a provision requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the clerk of court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new employment, and each time the obligor's employment is terminated for any reason. The report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new employment, include the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report new employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for failure to report new employment bond shall be set in the amount of the child support that should have been paid during the period of unreported employment. An order entered under this Section shall also include a provision requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change except when the court finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a party or that of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered by disclosure of the party's address.

(750 ILCS 5/505.2) (from Ch. 40, par. 505.2) Sec. 505.2. Health insurance. (a) Definitions. As used in this Section: (1) "Obligee" means the individual to whom the duty of support is owed or the individual's legal representative. (2) "Obligor" means the individual who owes a duty of support pursuant to an order for support. (3) "Public office" means any elected official or any State or local agency which is or may become responsible by law for enforcement of, or which is or may become authorized to enforce, an order for support, including, but not limited to: the Attorney General, the Illinois Department of Public Aid, the Illinois Department of Human Services, the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, and the various State's Attorneys, Clerks of the Circuit Court and supervisors of general assistance. (4) "Child" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 505.
[April 4, 2001] 158 (b) Order. (1) Whenever the court establishes, modifies or enforces an order for child support or for child support and maintenance the court shall include in the order a provision for the health care coverage of the child which shall, upon request of the obligee or Public Office, require that any child covered by the order be named as a beneficiary of any health insurance plan that is available to the obligor through an employer or labor union or trade union. If the court finds that such a plan is not available to the obligor, or that the plan is not accessible to the obligee, the court may, upon request of the obligee or Public Office, order the obligor to name the child covered by the order as a beneficiary of any health insurance plan that is available to the obligor on a group basis, or as a beneficiary of an independent health insurance plan to be obtained by the obligor, after considering the following factors: (A) the medical needs of the child; (B) the availability of a plan to meet those needs; and (C) the cost of such a plan to the obligor. (2) If the employer or labor union or trade union offers more than one plan, the order shall require the obligor to name the child as a beneficiary of the plan in which the obligor is enrolled. (3) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the authority of the court to establish or modify a support order to provide for payment of expenses, including deductibles, copayments and any other health expenses, which are in addition to expenses covered by an insurance plan of which a child is ordered to be named a beneficiary pursuant to this Section. (c) Implementation and enforcement. (1) When the court order requires that a minor child be named as a beneficiary of a health insurance plan, other than a health insurance plan available through an employer or labor union or trade union, the obligor shall provide written proof to the obligee or Public Office that the required insurance has been obtained, or that application for insurability has been made, within 30 days of receiving notice of the court order. Unless the obligor was present in court when the order was issued, notice of the order shall be given pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court Rules. If an obligor fails to provide the required proof, he may be held in contempt of court. (2) When the court requires that a minor child be named as a beneficiary of a health insurance plan available through an employer or labor union or trade union, the court's order shall be implemented in accordance with the Income Withholding for Support Act Section 706.1, as now or hereafter amended. (d) Failure to maintain insurance. The dollar amount of the premiums for court-ordered health insurance, or that portion of the premiums for which the obligor is responsible in the case of insurance provided under a group health insurance plan through an employer or labor union or trade union where the employer or labor union or trade union pays a portion of the premiums, shall be considered an additional child support obligation owed by the obligor. Whenever the obligor fails to provide or maintain health insurance pursuant to an order for support, the obligor shall be liable to the obligee for the dollar amount of the premiums which were not paid, and shall also be liable for all medical expenses incurred by the minor child which would have been paid or reimbursed by the health insurance which the obligor was ordered to provide or maintain. In addition, the obligee may petition the court to modify the order based solely on the obligor's failure to pay the premiums for court-ordered health insurance. (e) Authorization for payment. The signature of the obligee is a valid authorization to the insurer to process a claim for payment under the insurance plan to the provider of the health care services or to the obligee. (f) Disclosure of information. The obligor's employer or labor union or trade union shall disclose to the obligee or Public Office,
159 [April 4, 2001] upon request, information concerning any dependent coverage plans which would be made available to a new employee or labor union member or trade union member. The employer or labor union or trade union shall disclose such information whether or not a court order for medical support has been entered. (g) Employer obligations. If a parent is required by an order for support to provide coverage for a child's health care expenses and if that coverage is available to the parent through an employer who does business in this State, the employer must do all of the following upon receipt of a copy of the order of support or order for withholding: (1) The employer shall, upon the parent's request, permit the parent to include in that coverage a child who is otherwise eligible for that coverage, without regard to any enrollment season restrictions that might otherwise be applicable as to the time period within which the child may be added to that coverage. (2) If the parent has health care coverage through the employer but fails to apply for coverage of the child, the employer shall include the child in the parent's coverage upon application by the child's other parent or the Illinois Department of Public Aid. (3) The employer may not eliminate any child from the parent's health care coverage unless the employee is no longer employed by the employer and no longer covered under the employer's group health plan or unless the employer is provided with satisfactory written evidence of either of the following: (A) The order for support is no longer in effect. (B) The child is or will be included in a comparable health care plan obtained by the parent under such order that is currently in effect or will take effect no later than the date the prior coverage is terminated. The employer may eliminate a child from a parent's health care plan obtained by the parent under such order if the employer has eliminated dependent health care coverage for all of its employees. (Source: P.A. 89-183, eff. 1-1-96; 89-507, eff. 7-1-97; 89-626, eff. 8-9-96; 90-18, eff. 7-1-97; revised 3-9-00.) (750 ILCS 5/510) (from Ch. 40, par. 510) Sec. 510. Modification and termination of provisions for maintenance, support, educational expenses, and property disposition. (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (f) of Section 502 and in subsection (d), clause (3) of Section 505.2, the provisions of any judgment respecting maintenance or support may be modified only as to installments accruing subsequent to due notice by the moving party of the filing of the motion for modification and, with respect to maintenance, only upon a showing of a substantial change in circumstances. An order for child support may be modified as follows: (1) upon a showing of a substantial change in circumstances; and (2) without the necessity of showing a substantial change in circumstances, as follows: (A) upon a showing of an inconsistency of at least 20%, but no less than $10 per month, between the amount of the existing order and the amount of child support that results from application of the guidelines specified in Section 505 of this Act unless the inconsistency is due to the fact that the amount of the existing order resulted from a deviation from the guideline amount and there has not been a change in the circumstances that resulted in that deviation; or (B) Upon a showing of a need to provide for the health care needs of the child under the order through health insurance or other means. In no event shall the eligibility for or receipt of medical assistance be considered to meet the need to provide for the child's health care needs. The provisions of subparagraph (a)(2)(A) shall apply only in cases in which a party is receiving child and spouse support services from the Illinois Department of Public Aid under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid Code, and only when at least 36 months have elapsed since
[April 4, 2001] 160 the order for child support was entered or last modified. (b) The provisions as to property disposition may not be revoked or modified, unless the court finds the existence of conditions that justify the reopening of a judgment under the laws of this State. (c) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in a written agreement set forth in the judgment or otherwise approved by the court, the obligation to pay future maintenance is terminated upon the death of either party, or the remarriage of the party receiving maintenance, or if the party receiving maintenance cohabits with another person on a resident, continuing conjugal basis. (d) Unless otherwise provided in this Act, or as agreed in writing or expressly provided in the judgment, provisions for the support of a child are terminated by emancipation of the child, or if the child has attained the age of 18 and is still attending high school, provisions for the support of the child are terminated upon the date that the child graduates from high school or the date the child attains the age of 19, whichever is earlier, but not by the death of a parent obligated to support or educate the child. Unless otherwise agreed in writing or expressly provided in a judgment, provisions for the support of a child are terminated by emancipation of the child, except as otherwise provided herein, but not by the death of a parent obligated to support or educate the child. An existing obligation to pay for support or educational expenses, or both, is not terminated by the death of a parent. When a parent obligated to pay support or educational expenses, or both, dies, the amount of support or educational expenses, or both, may be enforced, modified, revoked or commuted to a lump sum payment, as equity may require, and that determination may be provided for at the time of the dissolution of the marriage or thereafter. (e) The right to petition for support or educational expenses, or both, under Sections 505 and 513 is not extinguished by the death of a parent. Upon a petition filed before or after a parent's death, the court may award sums of money out of the decedent's estate for the child's support or educational expenses, or both, as equity may require. The time within which a claim may be filed against the estate of a decedent under Sections 505 and 513 and subsection (d) and this subsection shall be governed by the provisions of the Probate Act of 1975, as a barrable, noncontingent claim. (Source: P.A. 87-714; 88-42; 88-307; 88-670, eff. 12-2-94.) (750 ILCS 5/513) (from Ch. 40, par. 513) Sec. 513. Support for Non-minor Children and Educational Expenses. (a) The court may award sums of money out of the property and income of either or both parties or the estate of a deceased parent, as equity may require, for the support of the child or children of the parties who have attained majority in the following instances: (1) When the child is mentally or physically disabled and not otherwise emancipated, an application for support may be made before or after the child has attained majority. (2) The court may also make provision for the educational expenses of the child or children of the parties, whether of minor or majority age, and an application for educational expenses may be made before or after the child has attained majority, or after the death of either parent. The authority under this Section to make provision for educational expenses extends not only to periods of college education or professional or other training after graduation from high school, but also to any period during which the child of the parties is still attending high school, even though he or she attained the age of 19 18. The educational expenses may include, but shall not be limited to, room, board, dues, tuition, transportation, books, fees, registration and application costs, medical expenses including medical insurance, dental expenses, and living expenses during the school year and periods of recess, which sums may be ordered payable to the child, to either parent, or to the educational institution, directly or through a special account or trust created for that purpose, as the court sees fit. If educational expenses are ordered payable, each parent and
161 [April 4, 2001] the child shall sign any consents necessary for the educational institution to provide the supporting parent with access to the child's academic transcripts, records, and grade reports. The consents shall not apply to any non-academic records. Failure to execute the required consent may be a basis for a modification or termination of any order entered under this Section. The authority under this Section to make provision for educational expenses, except where the child is mentally or physically disabled and not otherwise emancipated, terminates when the child receives a baccalaureate degree. (b) In making awards under paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a), or pursuant to a petition or motion to decrease, modify, or terminate any such award, the court shall consider all relevant factors that appear reasonable and necessary, including: (1) The financial resources of both parents. (2) The standard of living the child would have enjoyed had the marriage not been dissolved. (3) The financial resources of the child. (4) The child's academic performance. (Source: P.A. 91-204, eff. 1-1-00.) Section 15. The Non-Support Punishment Act is amended by changing Sections 15 and 20 as follows: (750 ILCS 16/15) Sec. 15. Failure to support. (a) A person commits the offense of failure to support when he or she: (1) willfully, without any lawful excuse, refuses to provide for the support or maintenance of his or her spouse, with the knowledge that the spouse is in need of such support or maintenance, or, without lawful excuse, deserts or willfully refuses to provide for the support or maintenance of his or her child or children under the age of 18 years, in need of support or maintenance and the person has the ability to provide the support; or (2) willfully fails to pay a support obligation required under a court or administrative order for support, if the obligation has remained unpaid for a period longer than 6 months, or is in arrears in an amount greater than $5,000, and the person has the ability to provide the support; or (3) leaves the State with the intent to evade a support obligation required under a court or administrative order for support, if the obligation, regardless of when it accrued, has remained unpaid for a period longer than 6 months, or is in arrears in an amount greater than $10,000; or (4) willfully fails to pay a support obligation required under a court or administrative order for support, if the obligation has remained unpaid for a period longer than one year, or is in arrears in an amount greater than $20,000, and the person has the ability to provide the support. (a-5) Presumption of ability to pay support. The existence of a court or administrative order of support that was not based on a default judgment and was in effect for the time period charged in the indictment or information creates a rebuttable presumption that the obligor has the ability to pay the support obligation for that time period. (b) Sentence. A person convicted of a first offense under subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. A person convicted of an offense under subdivision (a)(3) or (a)(4) or a second or subsequent offense under subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) is guilty of a Class 4 felony. (c) Expungement. A person convicted of a first offense under subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) who is eligible for the Earnfare program, shall, in lieu of the sentence prescribed in subsection (b), be referred to the Earnfare program. Upon certification of completion of the Earnfare program, the conviction shall be expunged. If the person fails to successfully complete the Earnfare program, he or she shall be
[April 4, 2001] 162 sentenced in accordance with subsection (b). (d) Fine. Sentences of imprisonment and fines for offenses committed under this Act shall be as provided under Articles 8 and 9 of Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections, except that the court shall order restitution of all unpaid support payments and may impose the following fines, alone, or in addition to a sentence of imprisonment under the following circumstances: (1) from $1,000 to $5,000 if the support obligation has remained unpaid for a period longer than 2 years, or is in arrears in an amount greater than $1,000 and not exceeding $10,000; (2) from $5,000 to $10,000 if the support obligation has remained unpaid for a period longer than 5 years, or is in arrears in an amount greater than $10,000 and not exceeding $20,000; or (3) from $10,000 to $25,000 if the support obligation has remained unpaid for a period longer than 8 years, or is in arrears in an amount greater than $20,000. (e) Restitution shall be ordered in an amount equal to the total unpaid support obligation as it existed at the time of sentencing. Any amounts paid by the obligor shall be allocated first to current support and then to restitution ordered and then to fines imposed under this Section. (f) For purposes of this Act, the term "child" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Section 505 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. (Source: P.A. 91-613, eff. 10-1-99.) (750 ILCS 16/20) Sec. 20. Entry of order for support; income withholding. (a) In a case in which no court or administrative order for support is in effect against the defendant: (1) at any time before the trial, upon motion of the State's Attorney, or of the Attorney General if the action has been instituted by his office, and upon notice to the defendant, or at the time of arraignment or as a condition of postponement of arraignment, the court may enter such temporary order for support as may seem just, providing for the support or maintenance of the spouse or child or children of the defendant, or both, pendente lite; or (2) before trial with the consent of the defendant, or at the trial on entry of a plea of guilty, or after conviction, instead of imposing the penalty provided in this Act, or in addition thereto, the court may enter an order for support, subject to modification by the court from time to time as circumstances may require, directing the defendant to pay a certain sum for maintenance of the spouse, or for support of the child or children, or both. (b) The court shall determine the amount of child support by using the guidelines and standards set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505 and in Section 505.2 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. If (i) the non-custodial parent was properly served with a request for discovery of financial information relating to the non-custodial parent's ability to provide child support, (ii) the non-custodial parent failed to comply with the request, despite having been ordered to do so by the court, and (iii) the non-custodial parent is not present at the hearing to determine support despite having received proper notice, then any relevant financial information concerning the non-custodial parent's ability to provide support that was obtained pursuant to subpoena and proper notice shall be admitted into evidence without the need to establish any further foundation for its admission. (c) The court shall determine the amount of maintenance using the standards set forth in Section 504 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. (d) The court may, for violation of any order under this Section, punish the offender as for a contempt of court, but no pendente lite order shall remain in effect longer than 4 months, or after the discharge of any panel of jurors summoned for service thereafter in such court, whichever is sooner.
163 [April 4, 2001] (e) Any order for support entered by the court under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the person obligated to pay support under the judgments, each such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or installment of support and each judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each judgment shall have the full force, effect, and attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced. Each judgment is subject to modification or termination only in accordance with Section 510 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. A lien arises by operation of law against the real and personal property of the noncustodial parent for each installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial parent. (f) An order for support entered under this Section shall include a provision requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the clerk of the court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new employment, and each time the obligor's employment is terminated for any reason. The report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new employment, include the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report new employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for failure to report new employment, bond shall be set in the amount of the child support that should have been paid during the period of unreported employment. An order for support entered under this Section shall also include a provision requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change except when the court finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a party or of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered by disclosure of the party's address. (g) An order for support entered or modified in a case in which a party is receiving child and spouse support services under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid Code shall include a provision requiring the noncustodial parent to notify the Illinois Department of Public Aid, within 7 days, of the name and address of any new employer of the noncustodial parent, whether the noncustodial parent has access to health insurance coverage through the employer or other group coverage and, if so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered under the policy. (h) In any subsequent action to enforce an order for support entered under this Act, upon sufficient showing that diligent effort has been made to ascertain the location of the noncustodial parent, service of process or provision of notice necessary in that action may be made at the last known address of the noncustodial parent, in any manner expressly provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or in this Act, which service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process. (i) An order for support shall include a date on which the current support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no earlier than the date on which the child covered by the order will attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date on which the child's high school graduation will occur or the date on which the child will attain the age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated. The order for support shall state that the termination date does not apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prevent the court from modifying the order. (Source: P.A. 91-613, eff. 10-1-99; 91-767, eff. 6-9-00.) Section 20. The Illinois Parentage Act of 1984 is amended by changing Section 14 as follows: (750 ILCS 45/14) (from Ch. 40, par. 2514) Sec. 14. Judgment. (a) (1) The judgment shall contain or explicitly reserve provisions concerning any duty and amount of child support and may
[April 4, 2001] 164 contain provisions concerning the custody and guardianship of the child, visitation privileges with the child, the furnishing of bond or other security for the payment of the judgment, which the court shall determine in accordance with the relevant factors set forth in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act and any other applicable law of Illinois, to guide the court in a finding in the best interests of the child. In determining custody, joint custody, or visitation, the court shall apply the relevant standards of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. Specifically, in determining the amount of any child support award, the court shall use the guidelines and standards set forth in subsection (a) of Section 505 and in Section 505.2 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. For purposes of Section 505 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, "net income" of the non-custodial parent shall include any benefits available to that person under the Illinois Public Aid Code or from other federal, State or local government-funded programs. The court shall, in any event and regardless of the amount of the non-custodial parent's net income, in its judgment order the non-custodial parent to pay child support to the custodial parent in a minimum amount of not less than $10 per month. In an action brought within 2 years after a child's birth, the judgment or order may direct either parent to pay the reasonable expenses incurred by either parent related to the mother's pregnancy and the delivery of the child. The judgment or order shall contain the father's social security number, which the father shall disclose to the court; however, failure to include the father's social security number on the judgment or order does not invalidate the judgment or order. (2) If a judgment of parentage contains no explicit award of custody, the establishment of a support obligation or of visitation rights in one parent shall be considered a judgment granting custody to the other parent. If the parentage judgment contains no such provisions, custody shall be presumed to be with the mother; however, the presumption shall not apply if the father has had physical custody for at least 6 months prior to the date that the mother seeks to enforce custodial rights. (b) The court shall order all child support payments, determined in accordance with such guidelines, to commence with the date summons is served. The level of current periodic support payments shall not be reduced because of payments set for the period prior to the date of entry of the support order. The Court may order any child support payments to be made for a period prior to the commencement of the action. In determining whether and the extent to which the payments shall be made for any prior period, the court shall consider all relevant facts, including the factors for determining the amount of support specified in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act and other equitable factors including but not limited to: (1) The father's prior knowledge of the fact and circumstances of the child's birth. (2) The father's prior willingness or refusal to help raise or support the child. (3) The extent to which the mother or the public agency bringing the action previously informed the father of the child's needs or attempted to seek or require his help in raising or supporting the child. (4) The reasons the mother or the public agency did not file the action earlier. (5) The extent to which the father would be prejudiced by the delay in bringing the action. For purposes of determining the amount of child support to be paid for any period before the date the order for current child support is entered, there is a rebuttable presumption that the father's net income for the prior period was the same as his net income at the time the order for current child support is entered. If (i) the non-custodial parent was properly served with a request for discovery of financial information relating to the non-custodial parent's ability to provide child support, (ii) the non-custodial
165 [April 4, 2001] parent failed to comply with the request, despite having been ordered to do so by the court, and (iii) the non-custodial parent is not present at the hearing to determine support despite having received proper notice, then any relevant financial information concerning the non-custodial parent's ability to provide child support that was obtained pursuant to subpoena and proper notice shall be admitted into evidence without the need to establish any further foundation for its admission. (c) Any new or existing support order entered by the court under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each judgment to be in the amount of each payment or installment of support and each such judgment to be deemed entered as of the date the corresponding payment or installment becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each judgment shall have the full force, effect and attributes of any other judgment of this State, including the ability to be enforced. A lien arises by operation of law against the real and personal property of the noncustodial parent for each installment of overdue support owed by the noncustodial parent. (d) If the judgment or order of the court is at variance with the child's birth certificate, the court shall order that a new birth certificate be issued under the Vital Records Act. (e) On request of the mother and the father, the court shall order a change in the child's name. After hearing evidence the court may stay payment of support during the period of the father's minority or period of disability. (f) If, upon a showing of proper service, the father fails to appear in court, or otherwise appear as provided by law, the court may proceed to hear the cause upon testimony of the mother or other parties taken in open court and shall enter a judgment by default. The court may reserve any order as to the amount of child support until the father has received notice, by regular mail, of a hearing on the matter. (g) A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount of past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988 which has accrued under a support order entered by the court. The charge shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 10-21 of the Illinois Public Aid Code and shall be enforced by the court upon petition. (h) All orders for support, when entered or modified, shall include a provision requiring the non-custodial parent to notify the court and, in cases in which party is receiving child and spouse support services under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid Code, the Illinois Department of Public Aid, within 7 days, (i) of the name and address of any new employer of the non-custodial parent, (ii) whether the non-custodial parent has access to health insurance coverage through the employer or other group coverage and, if so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered under the policy, and (iii) of any new residential or mailing address or telephone number of the non-custodial parent. In any subsequent action to enforce a support order, upon a sufficient showing that a diligent effort has been made to ascertain the location of the non-custodial parent, service of process or provision of notice necessary in the case may be made at the last known address of the non-custodial parent in any manner expressly provided by the Code of Civil Procedure or this Act, which service shall be sufficient for purposes of due process. (i) An order for support shall include a date on which the current support obligation terminates. The termination date shall be no earlier than the date on which the child covered by the order will attain the age of 18. However, if the child will not graduate from high school until after attaining the age of 18, then the termination date shall be no earlier than the earlier of the date on which the child's high school graduation will occur or the date on which the child will attain the age of 19 majority or is otherwise emancipated. The order for support shall state that the termination date does not apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on that date. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prevent the court from modifying
[April 4, 2001] 166 the order. (j) An order entered under this Section shall include a provision requiring the obligor to report to the obligee and to the clerk of court within 10 days each time the obligor obtains new employment, and each time the obligor's employment is terminated for any reason. The report shall be in writing and shall, in the case of new employment, include the name and address of the new employer. Failure to report new employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days, is indirect criminal contempt. For any obligor arrested for failure to report new employment bond shall be set in the amount of the child support that should have been paid during the period of unreported employment. An order entered under this Section shall also include a provision requiring the obligor and obligee parents to advise each other of a change in residence within 5 days of the change except when the court finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a party or that of a minor child, or both, would be seriously endangered by disclosure of the party's address.

There being no further amendments, the foregoing Amendment No. 2 was ordered engrossed; and the bill, as amended, was again advanced to the order of Third Reading. HOUSE BILL 2438. Having been recalled on April 3, 2001, and held on the order of Second Reading, the same was again taken up.

Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, entities subject to the Illinois Insurance Code, Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan Act, Dental Service Plan Act, Children's Health Insurance Program Act, Health Care Purchasing Group Act, Health Maintenance Organization Act, Limited Health Service Organization Act, Voluntary Health Services Plans Act, and the Workers' Compensation Act, including, but not limited to, insurers, health maintenance organizations, pharmacy benefit managers, third party administrators, fraternal benefit societies, group-funded workers' compensation pools, municipal group-funded pools, self-funded or self-insured welfare or benefit plans or programs, and any other entities that provide health coverage through an employer, union, trade association or other organization or source, or any other entities, must provide information to the Department, or its designee, that is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Act, including, but not limited to, the name, social security number, address, date of birth, and coverage of their policyholders, their subscribers, or the beneficiaries of their plans, benefits, or services who participate in the programs under this Act. The provision of this information to the Department or its designee is subject to the confidentiality provisions in Section 8a of this Act. (320 ILCS 25/5) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 405) Sec. 5. Procedure. (a) In general. Claims must be filed after January 1, on forms prescribed by the Department. No claim may be filed more than one year after December 31 of the year for which the claim is filed except that claims for 1976 may be filed until December 31, 1978. The pharmaceutical assistance identification card provided for in subsection (f) of Section 4 shall be valid for a period not to exceed one year. On and after January 1, 2002, however, to enable the Department to convert coverage for a pharmaceutical assistance program participant to a fiscal year basis, a card shall be valid for a longer or shorter period than 12 months, depending on the date a timely claim is filed and as determined by the Department. (b) Claim is Personal. The right to file a claim under this Act shall be personal to the claimant and shall not survive his death, but such right may be exercised on behalf of a claimant by his legal guardian or attorney-in-fact. If a claimant dies after having filed a timely claim, the amount thereof shall be disbursed to his surviving spouse or, if no spouse survives, to his surviving dependent minor children in equal parts, provided the spouse or child, as the case may be, resided with the claimant at the time he filed his claim. If at the time of disbursement neither the claimant nor his spouse is surviving, and no dependent minor children of the claimant are surviving the amount of the claim shall escheat to the State. (c) One claim per household. Only one member of a household may file a claim under this Act in any calendar year; where both members of
[April 4, 2001] 168 a household are otherwise entitled to claim a grant under this Act, they must agree as to which of them will file a claim for that year. (d) Content of application form. The form prescribed by the Department for purposes of paragraph (a) shall include a table, appropriately keyed to the parts of the form on which the claimant is required to furnish information, which will enable the claimant to determine readily the approximate amount of grant to which he is entitled by relating levels of household income to property taxes accrued or rent constituting property taxes accrued. (e) Pharmaceutical Assistance Procedures. The Department shall establish the form and manner for application, and establish by January 1, 1986 a procedure to enable persons to apply for the additional grant or for the pharmaceutical assistance identification card on the same application form. The Department shall determine eligibility for pharmaceutical assistance using the applicant's current income. The Department shall determine a person's current income in the manner provided by the Department by rule. (Source: P.A. 91-533, eff. 8-13-99; 91-699, eff. 1-1-01.)".

Amend House Bill 2523 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following: "Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section 18-8.05 as follows: (105 ILCS 5/18-8.05) Sec. 18-8.05. Basis for apportionment of general State financial aid and supplemental general State aid to the common schools for the 1998-1999 and subsequent school years. (A) General Provisions. (1) The provisions of this Section apply to the 1998-1999 school year and subsequent school years. The system of general State financial aid provided for in this Section is designed to assure that, through a combination of State financial aid and required local resources, the financial support provided each pupil in Average Daily Attendance equals or exceeds a prescribed per pupil Foundation Level. This formula approach imputes a level of per pupil Available Local Resources and provides for the basis to calculate a per pupil level of general State financial aid that, when added to Available Local Resources, equals or exceeds the Foundation Level. The amount of per pupil general State financial aid for school districts, in general, varies in inverse relation to Available Local Resources. Per pupil amounts are based upon each school district's Average Daily Attendance as that term is defined in this Section. (2) In addition to general State financial aid, school districts with specified levels or concentrations of pupils from low income households are eligible to receive supplemental general State financial aid grants as provided pursuant to subsection (H). The supplemental State aid grants provided for school districts under subsection (H) shall be appropriated for distribution to school districts as part of the same line item in which the general State financial aid of school districts is appropriated under this Section. (3) To receive financial assistance under this Section, school districts are required to file claims with the State Board of Education, subject to the following requirements: (a) Any school district which fails for any given school year to maintain school as required by law, or to maintain a recognized school is not eligible to file for such school year any claim upon the Common School Fund. In case of nonrecognition of one or more attendance centers in a school district otherwise operating recognized schools, the claim of the district shall be reduced in the proportion which the Average Daily Attendance in the attendance center or centers bear to the Average Daily Attendance in the school district. A "recognized school" means any public school which meets the standards as established for recognition by the State Board of Education. A school district or attendance center not having recognition status at the end of a school term is entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal claim which was filed while it was recognized. (b) School district claims filed under this Section are subject to Sections 18-9, 18-10, and 18-12, except as otherwise provided in this Section. (c) If a school district operates a full year school under
[April 4, 2001] 176 Section 10-19.1, the general State aid to the school district shall be determined by the State Board of Education in accordance with this Section as near as may be applicable. (d) (Blank). (4) Except as provided in subsections (H) and (L), the board of any district receiving any of the grants provided for in this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received for which that board is authorized to make expenditures by law. School districts are not required to exert a minimum Operating Tax Rate in order to qualify for assistance under this Section. (5) As used in this Section the following terms, when capitalized, shall have the meaning ascribed herein: (a) "Average Daily Attendance": A count of pupil attendance in school, averaged as provided for in subsection (C) and utilized in deriving per pupil financial support levels. (b) "Available Local Resources": A computation of local financial support, calculated on the basis of Average Daily Attendance and derived as provided pursuant to subsection (D). (c) "Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes": Funds paid to local school districts pursuant to "An Act in relation to the abolition of ad valorem personal property tax and the replacement of revenues lost thereby, and amending and repealing certain Acts and parts of Acts in connection therewith", certified August 14, 1979, as amended (Public Act 81-1st S.S.-1). (d) "Foundation Level": A prescribed level of per pupil financial support as provided for in subsection (B). (e) "Operating Tax Rate": All school district property taxes extended for all purposes, except Bond and Interest, Summer School, Rent, Capital Improvement, and Vocational Education Building purposes. (B) Foundation Level. (1) The Foundation Level is a figure established by the State representing the minimum level of per pupil financial support that should be available to provide for the basic education of each pupil in Average Daily Attendance. As set forth in this Section, each school district is assumed to exert a sufficient local taxing effort such that, in combination with the aggregate of general State financial aid provided the district, an aggregate of State and local resources are available to meet the basic education needs of pupils in the district. (2) For the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,225. For the 1999-2000 school year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,325. For the 2000-2001 school year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,425. (3) For the 2001-2002 school year and each school year thereafter, the Foundation Level of support is $4,425 or such greater amount as may be established by law by the General Assembly. (C) Average Daily Attendance. (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant to subsection (E), an Average Daily Attendance figure shall be utilized. The Average Daily Attendance figure for formula calculation purposes shall be the monthly average of the actual number of pupils in attendance of each school district, as further averaged for the best 3 months of pupil attendance for each school district. In compiling the figures for the number of pupils in attendance, school districts and the State Board of Education shall, for purposes of general State aid funding, conform attendance figures to the requirements of subsection (F). (2) The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in subsection (E) shall be the requisite attendance data for the school year immediately preceding the school year for which general State aid is being calculated. (D) Available Local Resources. (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant to subsection (E), a representation of Available Local Resources per pupil, as that term is defined and determined in this subsection, shall be utilized. Available Local Resources per pupil shall include a
177 [April 4, 2001] calculated dollar amount representing local school district revenues from local property taxes and from Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes, expressed on the basis of pupils in Average Daily Attendance. (2) In determining a school district's revenue from local property taxes, the State Board of Education shall utilize the equalized assessed valuation of all taxable property of each school district as of September 30 of the previous year. The equalized assessed valuation utilized shall be obtained and determined as provided in subsection (G). (3) For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten through 12, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be calculated as the product of the applicable equalized assessed valuation for the district multiplied by 3.00%, and divided by the district's Average Daily Attendance figure. For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be calculated as the product of the applicable equalized assessed valuation for the district multiplied by 2.30%, and divided by the district's Average Daily Attendance figure. For school districts maintaining grades 9 through 12, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be the applicable equalized assessed valuation of the district multiplied by 1.05%, and divided by the district's Average Daily Attendance figure. (4) The Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes paid to each school district during the calendar year 2 years before the calendar year in which a school year begins, divided by the Average Daily Attendance figure for that district, shall be added to the local property tax revenues per pupil as derived by the application of the immediately preceding paragraph (3). The sum of these per pupil figures for each school district shall constitute Available Local Resources as that term is utilized in subsection (E) in the calculation of general State aid. (E) Computation of General State Aid. (1) For each school year, the amount of general State aid allotted to a school district shall be computed by the State Board of Education as provided in this subsection. (2) For any school district for which Available Local Resources per pupil is less than the product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level, general State aid for that district shall be calculated as an amount equal to the Foundation Level minus Available Local Resources, multiplied by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district. (3) For any school district for which Available Local Resources per pupil is equal to or greater than the product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level and less than the product of 1.75 times the Foundation Level, the general State aid per pupil shall be a decimal proportion of the Foundation Level derived using a linear algorithm. Under this linear algorithm, the calculated general State aid per pupil shall decline in direct linear fashion from 0.07 times the Foundation Level for a school district with Available Local Resources equal to the product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level, to 0.05 times the Foundation Level for a school district with Available Local Resources equal to the product of 1.75 times the Foundation Level. The allocation of general State aid for school districts subject to this paragraph 3 shall be the calculated general State aid per pupil figure multiplied by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district. (4) For any school district for which Available Local Resources per pupil equals or exceeds the product of 1.75 times the Foundation Level, the general State aid for the school district shall be calculated as the product of $218 multiplied by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district. (5) The amount of general State aid allocated to a school district for the 1999-2000 school year meeting the requirements set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) shall be increased by an amount equal to the general State aid that would have been received by the district for the 1998-1999 school year by utilizing the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation as calculated in paragraph (4) of
[April 4, 2001] 178 subsection (G) less the general State aid allotted for the 1998-1999 school year. This amount shall be deemed a one time increase, and shall not affect any future general State aid allocations. (F) Compilation of Average Daily Attendance. (1) Each school district shall, by July 1 of each year, submit to the State Board of Education, on forms prescribed by the State Board of Education, attendance figures for the school year that began in the preceding calendar year. The attendance information so transmitted shall identify the average daily attendance figures for each month of the school year, except that any days of attendance in August shall be added to the month of September and any days of attendance in June shall be added to the month of May. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, days of attendance by pupils shall be counted only for sessions of not less than 5 clock hours of school work per day under direct supervision of: (i) teachers, or (ii) non-teaching personnel or volunteer personnel when engaging in non-teaching duties and supervising in those instances specified in subsection (a) of Section 10-22.34 and paragraph 10 of Section 34-18, with pupils of legal school age and in kindergarten and grades 1 through 12. Days of attendance by tuition pupils shall be accredited only to the districts that pay the tuition to a recognized school. (2) Days of attendance by pupils of less than 5 clock hours of school shall be subject to the following provisions in the compilation of Average Daily Attendance. (a) Pupils regularly enrolled in a public school for only a part of the school day may be counted on the basis of 1/6 day for every class hour of instruction of 40 minutes or more attended pursuant to such enrollment. (b) Days of attendance may be less than 5 clock hours on the opening and closing of the school term, and upon the first day of pupil attendance, if preceded by a day or days utilized as an institute or teachers' workshop. (c) A session of 4 or more clock hours may be counted as a day of attendance upon certification by the regional superintendent, and approved by the State Superintendent of Education to the extent that the district has been forced to use daily multiple sessions. (d) A session of 3 or more clock hours may be counted as a day of attendance (1) when the remainder of the school day or at least 2 hours in the evening of that day is utilized for an in-service training program for teachers, up to a maximum of 5 days per school year of which a maximum of 4 days of such 5 days may be used for parent-teacher conferences, provided a district conducts an in-service training program for teachers which has been approved by the State Superintendent of Education; or, in lieu of 4 such days, 2 full days may be used, in which event each such day may be counted as a day of attendance; and (2) when days in addition to those provided in item (1) are scheduled by a school pursuant to its school improvement plan adopted under Article 34 or its revised or amended school improvement plan adopted under Article 2, provided that (i) such sessions of 3 or more clock hours are scheduled to occur at regular intervals, (ii) the remainder of the school days in which such sessions occur are utilized for in-service training programs or other staff development activities for teachers, and (iii) a sufficient number of minutes of school work under the direct supervision of teachers are added to the school days between such regularly scheduled sessions to accumulate not less than the number of minutes by which such sessions of 3 or more clock hours fall short of 5 clock hours. Any full days used for the purposes of this paragraph shall not be considered for computing average daily attendance. Days scheduled for in-service training programs, staff development activities, or parent-teacher conferences may be scheduled separately for different grade levels and different attendance centers of the district. (e) A session of not less than one clock hour of teaching
179 [April 4, 2001] hospitalized or homebound pupils on-site or by telephone to the classroom may be counted as 1/2 day of attendance, however these pupils must receive 4 or more clock hours of instruction to be counted for a full day of attendance. (f) A session of at least 4 clock hours may be counted as a day of attendance for first grade pupils, and pupils in full day kindergartens, and a session of 2 or more hours may be counted as 1/2 day of attendance by pupils in kindergartens which provide only 1/2 day of attendance. (g) For children with disabilities who are below the age of 6 years and who cannot attend 2 or more clock hours because of their disability or immaturity, a session of not less than one clock hour may be counted as 1/2 day of attendance; however for such children whose educational needs so require a session of 4 or more clock hours may be counted as a full day of attendance. (h) A recognized kindergarten which provides for only 1/2 day of attendance by each pupil shall not have more than 1/2 day of attendance counted in any one day. However, kindergartens may count 2 1/2 days of attendance in any 5 consecutive school days. When a pupil attends such a kindergarten for 2 half days on any one school day, the pupil shall have the following day as a day absent from school, unless the school district obtains permission in writing from the State Superintendent of Education. Attendance at kindergartens which provide for a full day of attendance by each pupil shall be counted the same as attendance by first grade pupils. Only the first year of attendance in one kindergarten shall be counted, except in case of children who entered the kindergarten in their fifth year whose educational development requires a second year of kindergarten as determined under the rules and regulations of the State Board of Education. (G) Equalized Assessed Valuation Data. (1) For purposes of the calculation of Available Local Resources required pursuant to subsection (D), the State Board of Education shall secure from the Department of Revenue the value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue of all taxable property of every school district, together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in extending taxes for the funds of the district as of September 30 of the previous year and (ii) the limiting rate for all school districts subject to property tax extension limitations as imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law. This equalized assessed valuation, as adjusted further by the requirements of this subsection, shall be utilized in the calculation of Available Local Resources. (2) The equalized assessed valuation in paragraph (1) shall be adjusted, as applicable, in the following manner: (a) For the purposes of calculating State aid under this Section, with respect to any part of a school district within a redevelopment project area in respect to which a municipality has adopted tax increment allocation financing pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, Sections 11-74.4-1 through 11-74.4-11 of the Illinois Municipal Code or the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law, Sections 11-74.6-1 through 11-74.6-50 of the Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current equalized assessed valuation of real property located in any such project area which is attributable to an increase above the total initial equalized assessed valuation of such property shall be used as part of the equalized assessed valuation of the district, until such time as all redevelopment project costs have been paid, as provided in Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35 of the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of the equalized assessed valuation of the district, the total initial equalized assessed valuation or the current equalized assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be used until such time as all redevelopment project costs have been paid. (b) The real property equalized assessed valuation for a school district shall be adjusted by subtracting from the real
[April 4, 2001] 180 property value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue for the district an amount computed by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes under Section 18-170 of the Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten through 12, by 2.30% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, or by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9 through 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a) of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same percentage rates for district type as specified in this subparagraph (b). (3) For the 1999-2000 school year and each school year thereafter, if a school district meets all of the criteria of this subsection (G)(3), the school district's Available Local Resources shall be calculated under subsection (D) using the district's Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation as calculated under this subsection (G)(3). For purposes of this subsection (G)(3) the following terms shall have the following meanings: "Budget Year": The school year for which general State aid is calculated and awarded under subsection (E). "Base Tax Year": The property tax levy year used to calculate the Budget Year allocation of general State aid. "Preceding Tax Year": The property tax levy year immediately preceding the Base Tax Year. "Base Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of the equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County Clerk in the Base Tax Year multiplied by the limiting rate as calculated by the County Clerk and defined in the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law. "Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of the equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County Clerk in the Preceding Tax Year multiplied by the Operating Tax Rate as defined in subsection (A). "Extension Limitation Ratio": A numerical ratio, certified by the County Clerk, in which the numerator is the Base Tax Year's Tax Extension and the denominator is the Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension. "Operating Tax Rate": The operating tax rate as defined in subsection (A). If a school district is subject to property tax extension limitations as imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, and if the Available Local Resources of that school district as calculated pursuant to subsection (D) using the Base Tax Year are less than the product of 1.75 times the Foundation Level for the Budget Year, the State Board of Education shall calculate the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of that district. For the 1999-2000 school year, the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as calculated by the State Board of Education shall be equal to the product of the district's 1996 Equalized Assessed Valuation and the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. For the 2000-2001 school year and each school year thereafter, the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as calculated by the State Board of Education shall be equal to the product of the last calculated Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation and the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as calculated under this subsection (G)(3) is less than the district's equalized assessed valuation as calculated pursuant to subsections (G)(1) and (G)(2), then for purposes of calculating the district's general State aid for the Budget Year pursuant to subsection (E), that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation shall be utilized to calculate the district's Available Local Resources under subsection (D). (4) For the purposes of calculating general State aid for the 1999-2000 school year only, if a school district experienced a triennial reassessment on the equalized assessed valuation used in calculating its general State financial aid apportionment for the
181 [April 4, 2001] 1998-1999 school year, the State Board of Education shall calculate the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation that would have been used to calculate the district's 1998-1999 general State aid. This amount shall equal the product of the equalized assessed valuation used to calculate general State aid for the 1997-1998 school year and the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district as calculated under this paragraph (4) is less than the district's equalized assessed valuation utilized in calculating the district's 1998-1999 general State aid allocation, then for purposes of calculating the district's general State aid pursuant to paragraph (5) of subsection (E), that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation shall be utilized to calculate the district's Available Local Resources. (5) For school districts having a majority of their equalized assessed valuation in any county except Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, or Will, if the amount of general State aid allocated to the school district for the 1999-2000 school year under the provisions of subsection (E), (H), and (J) of this Section is less than the amount of general State aid allocated to the district for the 1998-1999 school year under these subsections, then the general State aid of the district for the 1999-2000 school year only shall be increased by the difference between these amounts. The total payments made under this paragraph (5) shall not exceed $14,000,000. Claims shall be prorated if they exceed $14,000,000. (H) Supplemental General State Aid. (1) In addition to the general State aid a school district is allotted pursuant to subsection (E), qualifying school districts shall receive a grant, paid in conjunction with a district's payments of general State aid, for supplemental general State aid based upon the concentration level of children from low-income households within the school district. Supplemental State aid grants provided for school districts under this subsection shall be appropriated for distribution to school districts as part of the same line item in which the general State financial aid of school districts is appropriated under this Section. For purposes of this subsection, the term "Low-Income Concentration Level" shall be the low-income eligible pupil count from the most recently available federal census divided by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district. If, however, the percentage decrease from the 2 most recent federal censuses in the low-income eligible pupil count of a high school district with fewer than 400 students exceeds by 75% or more the percentage change in the total low-income eligible pupil count of contiguous elementary school districts, whose boundaries are coterminous with the high school district, the high school district's low-income eligible pupil count from the earlier federal census shall be the number used as the low-income eligible pupil count for the high school district, for purposes of this subsection (H). (2) Supplemental general State aid pursuant to this subsection shall be provided as follows: (a) For any school district with a Low Income Concentration Level of at least 20% and less than 35%, the grant for any school year shall be $800 multiplied by the low income eligible pupil count. (b) For any school district with a Low Income Concentration Level of at least 35% and less than 50%, the grant for the 1998-1999 school year shall be $1,100 multiplied by the low income eligible pupil count. (c) For any school district with a Low Income Concentration Level of at least 50% and less than 60%, the grant for the 1998-99 school year shall be $1,500 multiplied by the low income eligible pupil count. (d) For any school district with a Low Income Concentration Level of 60% or more, the grant for the 1998-99 school year shall be $1,900 multiplied by the low income eligible pupil count. (e) For the 1999-2000 school year, the per pupil amount specified in subparagraphs (b), (c), and (d) immediately above
[April 4, 2001] 182 shall be increased to $1,243, $1,600, and $2,000, respectively. (f) For the 2000-2001 school year, the per pupil amounts specified in subparagraphs (b), (c), and (d) immediately above shall be $1,273, $1,640, and $2,050, respectively. (3) School districts with an Average Daily Attendance of more than 1,000 and less than 50,000 that qualify for supplemental general State aid pursuant to this subsection shall submit a plan to the State Board of Education prior to October 30 of each year for the use of the funds resulting from this grant of supplemental general State aid for the improvement of instruction in which priority is given to meeting the education needs of disadvantaged children. Such plan shall be submitted in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the State Board of Education. (4) School districts with an Average Daily Attendance of 50,000 or more that qualify for supplemental general State aid pursuant to this subsection shall be required to distribute from funds available pursuant to this Section, no less than $261,000,000 in accordance with the following requirements: (a) The required amounts shall be distributed to the attendance centers within the district in proportion to the number of pupils enrolled at each attendance center who are eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunches or breakfasts under the federal Child Nutrition Act of 1966 and under the National School Lunch Act during the immediately preceding school year. (b) The distribution of these portions of supplemental and general State aid among attendance centers according to these requirements shall not be compensated for or contravened by adjustments of the total of other funds appropriated to any attendance centers, and the Board of Education shall utilize funding from one or several sources in order to fully implement this provision annually prior to the opening of school. (c) Each attendance center shall be provided by the school district a distribution of noncategorical funds and other categorical funds to which an attendance center is entitled under law in order that the general State aid and supplemental general State aid provided by application of this subsection supplements rather than supplants the noncategorical funds and other categorical funds provided by the school district to the attendance centers. (d) Any funds made available under this subsection that by reason of the provisions of this subsection are not required to be allocated and provided to attendance centers may be used and appropriated by the board of the district for any lawful school purpose. (e) Funds received by an attendance center pursuant to this subsection shall be used by the attendance center at the discretion of the principal and local school council for programs to improve educational opportunities at qualifying schools through the following programs and services: early childhood education, reduced class size or improved adult to student classroom ratio, enrichment programs, remedial assistance, attendance improvement, and other educationally beneficial expenditures which supplement the regular and basic programs as determined by the State Board of Education. Funds provided shall not be expended for any political or lobbying purposes as defined by board rule. (f) Each district subject to the provisions of this subdivision (H)(4) shall submit an acceptable plan to meet the educational needs of disadvantaged children, in compliance with the requirements of this paragraph, to the State Board of Education prior to July 15 of each year. This plan shall be consistent with the decisions of local school councils concerning the school expenditure plans developed in accordance with part 4 of Section 34-2.3. The State Board shall approve or reject the plan within 60 days after its submission. If the plan is rejected, the district shall give written notice of intent to modify the plan within 15 days of the notification of rejection and then submit a modified
183 [April 4, 2001] plan within 30 days after the date of the written notice of intent to modify. Districts may amend approved plans pursuant to rules promulgated by the State Board of Education. Upon notification by the State Board of Education that the district has not submitted a plan prior to July 15 or a modified plan within the time period specified herein, the State aid funds affected by that plan or modified plan shall be withheld by the State Board of Education until a plan or modified plan is submitted. If the district fails to distribute State aid to attendance centers in accordance with an approved plan, the plan for the following year shall allocate funds, in addition to the funds otherwise required by this subsection, to those attendance centers which were underfunded during the previous year in amounts equal to such underfunding. For purposes of determining compliance with this subsection in relation to the requirements of attendance center funding, each district subject to the provisions of this subsection shall submit as a separate document by December 1 of each year a report of expenditure data for the prior year in addition to any modification of its current plan. If it is determined that there has been a failure to comply with the expenditure provisions of this subsection regarding contravention or supplanting, the State Superintendent of Education shall, within 60 days of receipt of the report, notify the district and any affected local school council. The district shall within 45 days of receipt of that notification inform the State Superintendent of Education of the remedial or corrective action to be taken, whether by amendment of the current plan, if feasible, or by adjustment in the plan for the following year. Failure to provide the expenditure report or the notification of remedial or corrective action in a timely manner shall result in a withholding of the affected funds. The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules and regulations to implement the provisions of this subsection. No funds shall be released under this subdivision (H)(4) to any district that has not submitted a plan that has been approved by the State Board of Education. (I) General State Aid for Newly Configured School Districts. (1) For a new school district formed by combining property included totally within 2 or more previously existing school districts, for its first year of existence the general State aid and supplemental general State aid calculated under this Section shall be computed for the new district and for the previously existing districts for which property is totally included within the new district. If the computation on the basis of the previously existing districts is greater, a supplementary payment equal to the difference shall be made for the first 4 years of existence of the new district. (2) For a school district which annexes all of the territory of one or more entire other school districts, for the first year during which the change of boundaries attributable to such annexation becomes effective for all purposes as determined under Section 7-9 or 7A-8, the general State aid and supplemental general State aid calculated under this Section shall be computed for the annexing district as constituted after the annexation and for the annexing and each annexed district as constituted prior to the annexation; and if the computation on the basis of the annexing and annexed districts as constituted prior to the annexation is greater, a supplementary payment equal to the difference shall be made for the first 4 years of existence of the annexing school district as constituted upon such annexation. (3) For 2 or more school districts which annex all of the territory of one or more entire other school districts, and for 2 or more community unit districts which result upon the division (pursuant to petition under Section 11A-2) of one or more other unit school districts into 2 or more parts and which together include all of the parts into which such other unit school district or districts are so divided, for the first year during which the change of boundaries
[April 4, 2001] 184 attributable to such annexation or division becomes effective for all purposes as determined under Section 7-9 or 11A-10, as the case may be, the general State aid and supplemental general State aid calculated under this Section shall be computed for each annexing or resulting district as constituted after the annexation or division and for each annexing and annexed district, or for each resulting and divided district, as constituted prior to the annexation or division; and if the aggregate of the general State aid and supplemental general State aid as so computed for the annexing or resulting districts as constituted after the annexation or division is less than the aggregate of the general State aid and supplemental general State aid as so computed for the annexing and annexed districts, or for the resulting and divided districts, as constituted prior to the annexation or division, then a supplementary payment equal to the difference shall be made and allocated between or among the annexing or resulting districts, as constituted upon such annexation or division, for the first 4 years of their existence. The total difference payment shall be allocated between or among the annexing or resulting districts in the same ratio as the pupil enrollment from that portion of the annexed or divided district or districts which is annexed to or included in each such annexing or resulting district bears to the total pupil enrollment from the entire annexed or divided district or districts, as such pupil enrollment is determined for the school year last ending prior to the date when the change of boundaries attributable to the annexation or division becomes effective for all purposes. The amount of the total difference payment and the amount thereof to be allocated to the annexing or resulting districts shall be computed by the State Board of Education on the basis of pupil enrollment and other data which shall be certified to the State Board of Education, on forms which it shall provide for that purpose, by the regional superintendent of schools for each educational service region in which the annexing and annexed districts, or resulting and divided districts are located. (3.5) Claims for financial assistance under this subsection (I) shall not be recomputed except as expressly provided under this Section. (4) Any supplementary payment made under this subsection (I) shall be treated as separate from all other payments made pursuant to this Section. (J) Supplementary Grants in Aid. (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, the amount of the aggregate general State aid in combination with supplemental general State aid under this Section for which each school district is eligible shall be no less than the amount of the aggregate general State aid entitlement that was received by the district under Section 18-8 (exclusive of amounts received under subsections 5(p) and 5(p-5) of that Section) for the 1997-98 school year, pursuant to the provisions of that Section as it was then in effect. If a school district qualifies to receive a supplementary payment made under this subsection (J), the amount of the aggregate general State aid in combination with supplemental general State aid under this Section which that district is eligible to receive for each school year shall be no less than the amount of the aggregate general State aid entitlement that was received by the district under Section 18-8 (exclusive of amounts received under subsections 5(p) and 5(p-5) of that Section) for the 1997-1998 school year, pursuant to the provisions of that Section as it was then in effect. (2) If, as provided in paragraph (1) of this subsection (J), a school district is to receive aggregate general State aid in combination with supplemental general State aid under this Section for the 1998-99 school year and any subsequent school year that in any such school year is less than the amount of the aggregate general State aid entitlement that the district received for the 1997-98 school year, the school district shall also receive, from a separate appropriation made for purposes of this subsection (J), a supplementary payment that is equal to the amount of the difference in the aggregate State aid figures as described in paragraph (1).
185 [April 4, 2001] (3) (Blank). (K) Grants to Laboratory and Alternative Schools. In calculating the amount to be paid to the governing board of a public university that operates a laboratory school under this Section or to any alternative school that is operated by a regional superintendent of schools, the State Board of Education shall require by rule such reporting requirements as it deems necessary. As used in this Section, "laboratory school" means a public school which is created and operated by a public university and approved by the State Board of Education. The governing board of a public university which receives funds from the State Board under this subsection (K) may not increase the number of students enrolled in its laboratory school from a single district, if that district is already sending 50 or more students, except under a mutual agreement between the school board of a student's district of residence and the university which operates the laboratory school. A laboratory school may not have more than 1,000 students, excluding students with disabilities in a special education program. As used in this Section, "alternative school" means a public school which is created and operated by a Regional Superintendent of Schools and approved by the State Board of Education. Such alternative schools may offer courses of instruction for which credit is given in regular school programs, courses to prepare students for the high school equivalency testing program or vocational and occupational training. A regional superintendent of schools may contract with a school district or a public community college district to operate an alternative school. An alternative school serving more than one educational service region may be established by the regional superintendents of schools of the affected educational service regions. An alternative school serving more than one educational service region may be operated under such terms as the regional superintendents of schools of those educational service regions may agree. Each laboratory and alternative school shall file, on forms provided by the State Superintendent of Education, an annual State aid claim which states the Average Daily Attendance of the school's students by month. The best 3 months' Average Daily Attendance shall be computed for each school. The general State aid entitlement shall be computed by multiplying the applicable Average Daily Attendance by the Foundation Level as determined under this Section. (L) Payments, Additional Grants in Aid and Other Requirements. (1) For a school district operating under the financial supervision of an Authority created under Article 34A, the general State aid otherwise payable to that district under this Section, but not the supplemental general State aid, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the budget for the operations of the Authority as certified by the Authority to the State Board of Education, and an amount equal to such reduction shall be paid to the Authority created for such district for its operating expenses in the manner provided in Section 18-11. The remainder of general State school aid for any such district shall be paid in accordance with Article 34A when that Article provides for a disposition other than that provided by this Article. (2) (Blank). (3) Summer school. Summer school payments shall be made as provided in Section 18-4.3. (M) Education Funding Advisory Board. The Education Funding Advisory Board, hereinafter in this subsection (M) referred to as the "Board", is hereby created. The Board shall consist of 5 members who are appointed by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The members appointed shall include representatives of education, business, and the general public. One of the members so appointed shall be designated by the Governor at the time the appointment is made as the chairperson of the Board. The initial members of the Board may be appointed any time after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997. The regular term of each member of the Board shall be for 4 years from the third Monday of January of the year in which the term of the member's appointment is to
[April 4, 2001] 186 commence, except that of the 5 initial members appointed to serve on the Board, the member who is appointed as the chairperson shall serve for a term that commences on the date of his or her appointment and expires on the third Monday of January, 2002, and the remaining 4 members, by lots drawn at the first meeting of the Board that is held after all 5 members are appointed, shall determine 2 of their number to serve for terms that commence on the date of their respective appointments and expire on the third Monday of January, 2001, and 2 of their number to serve for terms that commence on the date of their respective appointments and expire on the third Monday of January, 2000. All members appointed to serve on the Board shall serve until their respective successors are appointed and confirmed. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner as original appointments. If a vacancy in membership occurs at a time when the Senate is not in session, the Governor shall make a temporary appointment until the next meeting of the Senate, when he or she shall appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, a person to fill that membership for the unexpired term. If the Senate is not in session when the initial appointments are made, those appointments shall be made as in the case of vacancies. The Education Funding Advisory Board shall be deemed established, and the initial members appointed by the Governor to serve as members of the Board shall take office, on the date that the Governor makes his or her appointment of the fifth initial member of the Board, whether those initial members are then serving pursuant to appointment and confirmation or pursuant to temporary appointments that are made by the Governor as in the case of vacancies. The State Board of Education shall provide such staff assistance to the Education Funding Advisory Board as is reasonably required for the proper performance by the Board of its responsibilities. For school years after the 2000-2001 school year, the Education Funding Advisory Board, in consultation with the State Board of Education, shall make recommendations as provided in this subsection (M) to the General Assembly for the foundation level under subdivision (B)(3) of this Section and for the supplemental general State aid grant level under subsection (H) of this Section for districts with high concentrations of children from poverty. The recommended foundation level shall be determined based on a methodology which incorporates the basic education expenditures of low-spending schools exhibiting high academic performance. The Education Funding Advisory Board shall make such recommendations to the General Assembly on January 1 of odd numbered years, beginning January 1, 2001. (N) (Blank). (O) References. (1) References in other laws to the various subdivisions of Section 18-8 as that Section existed before its repeal and replacement by this Section 18-8.05 shall be deemed to refer to the corresponding provisions of this Section 18-8.05, to the extent that those references remain applicable. (2) References in other laws to State Chapter 1 funds shall be deemed to refer to the supplemental general State aid provided under subsection (H) of this Section.

There being no further amendments, the foregoing Amendments numbered 1 and 2 were ordered engrossed; and the bill, as amended, was advanced to the order of Third Reading. HOUSE BILL 1825. Having been printed, was taken up and read by title a second time. The following amendment was offered in the Committee on Registration & Regulation, adopted and printed: AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO HOUSE BILL 1825 AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 1825 in Section 15, by replacing all of subsection (b) with the following: "(b) It is sufficient for compliance with this Section that a copy of the written explanation of services is given to the animal owner at the time the services are offered.". Representative Hassert offered the following amendment and moved its adoption: AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO HOUSE BILL 1825 AMENDMENT NO. 2. Amend House Bill 1825 by replacing the title with the following: "AN ACT in relation to the cremation of companion animals."; and by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following: "Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Companion Animal Cremation Act. Section 5. Definitions. For the purposes of this Act, unless the context indicates otherwise: "Companion animal" or "animal" means a deceased animal that had a companion or pet relationship with an owner at the time of the animal's death. "Provider of companion animal cremation services" or "provider" means a person, company, or other entity engaging in the business of cremating deceased companion animals in Illinois. "Cremation remains" means the material remaining after the cremation of an animal, which may include ashes, skeletal remains, and other residue resulting from the incineration process, and may be pulverized or otherwise processed by the provider of cremation services. "Individually partitioned cremation" means a cremation process in which either (i) only one companion animal at a time is cremated in the
189 [April 4, 2001] incinerator or (ii) more than one companion animal is cremated in the incinerator at the same time, but each of the animals is completely separated from the others by partitions during the cremation process; and in which the commingling of significant amounts of cremation remains from different animals is unlikely to occur. "Communal cremation" means a cremation process in which companion animals are cremated together without effective partitions or separation during the cremation process, and in which the commingling of significant amounts of cremation remains from different animals is likely or certain to occur. "Commingling of significant amounts of cremation remains from different animals" means that specific cremation remains cannot be attributed to a particular animal, or that the cremation remains attributed to one companion animal contain more than 1% by weight of cremation remains from one or more other companion animals. The presence, in the cremation remains of a companion animal, of the remains of any creature that was contained within the body of that animal at the time of cremation (including parasites, insects, and food or creatures eaten by that companion animal) does not constitute "commingling" for the purposes of this Act. A person or business entity is deemed to refer animal owners or bring business to a provider "on a regular basis" if the person or entity (i) has an ongoing contractual or agency relationship with the provider relating to the cremation of companion animals, (ii) receives any compensation or consideration from the provider or animal owners relating to the cremation of companion animals by the provider, or (iii) refers or brings to the provider the business of more than 5 animal owners in an average month. Section 10. Written explanation of services. (a) A provider of companion animal cremation services must prepare a written explanation of the services offered, which may but need not be in the form of a brochure. The written explanation of services must include a detailed explanation of each service offered. For each type or level of cremation service offered, the written explanation of services shall disclose the specific services to be provided. If any part of the deceased companion animal will be removed, used, or sold by the provider before or after the cremation, the written explanation of services must disclose that fact. (b) The written explanation of services must not include any false or misleading information. A written explanation of services is misleading if: (1) it fails to include a detailed explanation of the cremation services offered or fails to include, for each type or level of cremation service offered, any of the disclosures required under subsection (a); (2) it uses the term "private" or "individual" with respect to any communal cremation procedure or with respect to an individually partitioned cremation procedure that will cremate more than one companion animal at the same time; (3) it uses the term "individually partitioned" or "separate" with respect to a communal cremation process; or (4) it includes any text, picture, illustration, or combination thereof, or uses any layout, typography, or color scheme, in a way that is likely to lead a person of normal intelligence to misunderstand the nature of the services to be provided or to fail to read or understand certain parts of the written explanation of services. (c) A provider of companion animal cremation services shall provide the written explanation of services, without charge: (1) to the owner of each deceased animal with whom the provider agrees to provide cremation services, or the person making cremation arrangements on the owner's behalf; (2) to all veterinarians, pet shops, and other persons or entities known to the provider who refer animal owners or bring deceased animals to the provider on a regular basis, in quantities
[April 4, 2001] 190 sufficient for distribution by those persons or entities to the animal owners whose business is being referred or brought to the provider; (3) to the Office of the Attorney General, at least annually; and (4) to any other person upon request. (d) The preparation or distribution by a provider of a written explanation of services that the provider knows or should know to be false or misleading constitutes a business offense, punishable by a fine of at least $1,001 but not more than $1,500 for a first offense and at least $2,000 but not more than $2,500 for each subsequent offense. A knowing failure to prepare or distribute a written explanation of services as required by this Section constitutes a business offense, punishable by a fine of at least $1,001 but not more than $1,500 for a first offense and at least $2,000 but not more than $2,500 for each subsequent offense. Section 15. Persons referring or bringing business to a provider. (a) A veterinarian, pet shop, or other person or business entity that refers owners of deceased animals, or persons making arrangements on an owner's behalf, to a provider on a regular basis shall make available a copy of the provider's written explanation of services to the animal owner, or person making arrangements on the owner's behalf, at the time of the referral. (b) A veterinarian, pet shop, or other person or business entity that accepts deceased companion animals for cremation through services obtained from a provider on a regular basis shall make available a copy of the provider's written explanation of services to each animal owner, or person making arrangements on the owner's behalf, from whom a deceased companion animal is accepted. (c) It is sufficient for compliance with this Section that a copy of the written explanation of services is given to the animal owner, or the person making arrangements on the owner's behalf, at the time the services are offered. (d) Publishing or otherwise disseminating advertising for a provider of companion animal cremation services does not, in itself, constitute referring or bringing business to that provider for the purposes of this Section. Section 20. Certification; penalty for false certification. (a) Whenever a provider of companion animal cremation services undertakes to provide services that include the return of the cremation remains of the cremated animal, the provider shall include a certification along with the returned cremation remains, declaring to the best of the provider's knowledge and belief that, except as otherwise specifically indicated in the certificate, the cremation and any other services specified were provided in accordance with the representations of the provider in the applicable portions of the provider's written explanation of services. (b) To knowingly make a false certification under subsection (a) is a business offense, punishable by a fine of at least $1,001 but not more than $1,500 for a first offense and at least $2,000 but not more than $2,500 for each subsequent offense. Section 95. The Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act is amended by adding Section 2KK as follows: (815 ILCS 505/2KK new) Sec. 2KK. Animal cremation services. It is an unlawful practice within the meaning of this Act for a provider of companion animal cremation services (1) to fail to prepare or distribute a written explanation of services as required by the Companion Animal Cremation Act; (2) to prepare or distribute a written explanation of services under that Act that the provider knows or should know to be false or misleading; or (3) to knowingly make a false certification under Section 20 of that Act.". The motion prevailed and the amendment was adopted and ordered printed.

Thereafter, the committee shall conduct an internal review of the system at least once each year. (c) Whenever a committee determines that the patient classification system that the committee has selected for a facility no longer meets the staffing requirements necessary to meet the health care needs of the facility's patients, the committee shall select a different patient classification system pursuant to this Section. (d) This Section does not apply to any facility maintained by the Department of Corrections, the Department of Human Services, or the Cook County Department of Corrections.
201 [April 4, 2001] Section 30. Posting requirement.

The report shall compare the staffing requirements to the actual staffing that occurred for that month. The facility shall make the monthly report available to any interested party for inspection and copying for at least 3 years. (b) This Section does not apply to any facility maintained by the Department of Corrections, the Department of Human Services, or the Cook County Department of Corrections. Section 35. Overtime. (a) No employee of a health care facility may have his or her license, registration, or certification, as the case may be, subjected to disciplinary action by an appropriate State regulatory agency for a potential violation of a regulating Act if the employee does not continue to work after the end of the employee's designated, predetermined shift if the following also occurs: (1) the employee has not accepted an assignment to work overtime; and (2) the employee notifies the employee's supervisor that he or she is unable to accept the overtime assignment. (b) No employee of a health care facility may be compelled to work overtime if the employee is in such a fatigued condition that he or she could pose a potential danger or threat to the safety of patients under the employee's care because of that fatigued condition. (c) A health care facility may require an employee to accept overtime in the case of an unforeseen emergent circumstance as defined in Section 5 of this Act. Section 40. Quality-of-care policies. (a) In maintaining the quality of care provided by its licensed nurses, a health care facility shall implement policies to ensure all of the following: (1) That the specific needs of various patient populations determine the appropriate clinical competencies required of the nurses practicing in that area. (2) That licensed nurses are given an appropriate orientation to a patient care unit when first assigned to the unit. (3) That clinical support from a proficient licensed nurse is readily available to a licensed nurse who may be less proficient. (b) The policies implemented under subsection (a) of this Section shall be applied to a licensed nurse used by the facility who is not considered part of the facility's regular nursing staff, such as a supplemental licensed nurse or a licensed nurse obtained from an agency that makes licensed nurses available to employers on a temporary basis. Section 45. Work environment. With respect to the work environment created by a health care facility for its licensed nurses and personnel who assist in the provision of patient care, the facility must comply with all of the following: (1) The facility must implement policies that reflect an organizational climate committed to filling in a timely manner the positions of employment that have been included in the facility's budget. (2) The facility must employ a sufficient number of employees to perform duties that are non-nursing functions, such as housekeeping, clerical duties, and administrative duties. The facility may not eliminate such non-nursing positions as a means of complying with this subsection if the result is that licensed nurses are required to carry out the duties of the individuals whose positions have been eliminated. Section 50. Pilot programs. (a) Alternative methods of ensuring minimum nurse staffing requirements may be tested and evaluated. The alternative methods must use clearly defined measurement tools to ensure allocation of appropriate number of staff to determine nursing care needs of patients. Alternative tools or methods of measurements must be peer reviewed, provide nursing coverage of patient needs, and be evaluated
[April 4, 2001] 202 monthly to determine whether the alternative method fulfills the intent of this Act. Measurement tools that may be utilized to determine the effectiveness of any pilot program must include, but need not be limited to, the following: (1) Patient outcome indicators as developed by nationally recognized nursing organizations, such as the American Nurses Association. (2) American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet Hospital elements. (3) Facility reports and analyses of incidents and injuries to nursing staff and other health care personnel. (4) Surveys and reports of nursing staff. (5) Other elements deemed appropriate and adopted in rules by the appropriate State regulatory agency.

Section 55. Prohibitions. (a) Except as provided in Section 60 of this Act, a health care facility must do both of the following: (1) Comply with the staffing requirements established under Section 10 of this Act. (2) Comply with the provisions of Sections 35 and 45 of this Act. (b) If subdivisions (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this Section are both violated in the same work shift, each violation is a separate violation. If subdivisions (a)(1) and (a)(2) of this Section are violated in different patient care units at the same time, each violation is a separate violation. (c) A nurse or other health care professional may file a complaint with the Department of Public Health alleging a violation of subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) by a privately owned health care facility. Section 60. Unforeseen emergent circumstance staffing plan. (a) Section 55 of this Act does not apply when a staffing shortage occurs as a direct result of an unforeseen emergent circumstance. (b) A health care facility shall develop and implement policies that establish mechanisms for rapid deployment of personnel during an unforeseen emergent circumstance. The policies must promote the identification and use of appropriate mixes of nursing staff and other personnel. Section 65. Penalties and sanctions. (a) If the appropriate State regulatory agency determines, after an investigation, that a violation of subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) of Section 55 of this Act has occurred, the agency shall impose a civil penalty against the facility in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section. In determining the amount of the civil penalty to be imposed, the agency shall consider the severity of the violation, the facility's efforts to correct the violation, whether the violation has been corrected, and whether the facility's failure to correct the violation is the result of a willful disregard of the requirements of this Act. (a-5) An investigation under subsection (a) must include an investigation of (i) whether a patient classification committee was created pursuant to Section 15 and (ii) whether the committee was implementing staffing requirements as required under this Act. (b) In the case of a first violation, the appropriate State regulatory agency shall impose a civil penalty in an amount that is not less that $2,000 for each week in which the violation occurs. In the case of a subsequent violation, for each day of the first week in which the violation occurs, the agency shall impose a civil penalty in an amount that is not less than $8,000 and not more than $15,000. During each week thereafter, the agency shall impose a civil penalty for each day of violation in an amount that is 3 times the amount imposed per day in the immediately preceding week. (c) A State regulatory agency may impose a civil penalty under this
203 [April 4, 2001] Section only after notice to the facility and an opportunity for the facility to be heard on the matter. (d) The Attorney General may bring an action in the circuit court to enforce the collection of any civil penalty imposed under this Section. (e) This Section applies only to privately owned health care facilities. Section 70. Injunctive relief. (a) Through the Attorney General or a State's Attorney, the Department of Public Health may apply for an order enjoining any person from violating subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) of Section 55 of this Act. (b) On the filing of a verified petition, the court shall conduct an expedited hearing on the petition, irrespective of the position of the proceeding on the court's calendar. On a showing that the violation has occurred, the court shall grant an order enjoining the violation. In addition to granting an order enjoining the violation, the court may do either or both of the following: (1) On a showing that a person's violation has been willful, the court may issue an order terminating the facility's authority to participate in any State-funded program that reimburses the facility for providing health care services. (2) On a showing that a person's violation has resulted in imminent danger of harm or death to a patient, the court may issue an order requiring the facility to close the patient care unit in which the violation has occurred. Section 75. Private right of action. (a) Any person who suffers damage as a result of a violation of this Act committed by an employer or an employer's representative may bring an action against the employer in the circuit court. Upon a finding that the employer or the employer's representative committed a violation of this Act, the court may award the plaintiff his or her actual damages together with his or her reasonable attorney's fees incurred in maintaining the action. (b) In an action brought under this Section, any evidence that an employee was required to work overtime in a manner inconsistent with Section 35 of this Act creates a presumption that the employee's employer committee a violation of this Act. To rebut this presumption, the employer must prove that an unforeseen emergent circumstance, which required overtime work only as a last resort, existed at the time the employee was required or compelled to work. (c) This Section applies only to a health care facility that is maintained by the State, a unit of local government, or a department or agency of the State or a unit of local government. Section 80. Posting of Act summary. Every employer who is subject to any provision of this Act must keep a summary of this Act approved by the Director of Labor posted in a conspicuous and accessible place in or about the premises wherever any person subject to this Act is employed. The Department of Labor must furnish copies of the summary on request to employers, without charge. Section 85. Adoption of rules. Each appropriate State regulatory agency shall adopt rules, as each agency considers necessary to implement this Act. Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming law.".
