A BILL FOR

 

SB0559 LRB095 10784 KBJ 31027 b

1     AN ACT concerning insurance.
 
2     WHEREAS, Recent data indicates increasingly unaffordable
3 health care and health insurance costs, a need to address
4 quality in health care, and an increasing number of uninsured
5 that requires Illinois policy makers change their approach to
6 health care and health insurance coverage; and
 
7     WHEREAS, Without a transformation, the high cost of health
8 insurance, resulting in part from unacceptable quality of care
9 and historic mandates, will cause the number of uninsured
10 persons to increase in this State; and
 
11     WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Act to strategically
12 address these issues by collaborating with private purchasers
13 and implementing the following health plans funded by the
14 State: (1) increased measurement, transparency, and disclosure
15 of hospital and clinician performance; (2) information, tools,
16 and incentives for patients and other consumers to enable them
17 to make informed health care decisions; (3) payment of
18 hospitals and clinicians based on their performance; (4) health
19 information technology, including an electronic health record
20 for all Illinois citizens; (5) preventative and wellness
21 initiatives; and (6) review of current health plan design and
22 requirements identifying elements of the plans that need
23 elimination and implementation of new provisions that are
24 consistent with guidelines and protocols established by

12 seeks to increase the availability of health insurance coverage

15 that, in whole or in part, do not offer or provide
16 state-mandated health benefits.

18     "Consumer Choice of Benefits Health Insurance Plan" means
19 an accident or health insurance policy that, in whole or in

26             income with respect to such interest; or

 

 

SB0559 - 15 - LRB095 10784 KBJ 31027 b

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

 

 

SB0559 - 16 - LRB095 10784 KBJ 31027 b

1             unreasonable; or if the taxpayer and the Director
2             agree in writing to the application or use of an
3             alternative method of apportionment under Section
4             304(f).
5                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6             Director from making any other adjustment
7             otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
8             any tax year beginning after the effective date of
9             this amendment provided such adjustment is made
10             pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
11             and such regulations provide methods and standards
12             by which the Department will utilize its authority
13             under Section 404 of this Act;
14             (D-18) For taxable years ending on or after
15         December 31, 2004, an amount equal to the amount of
16         intangible expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a
17         deduction in computing base income, and that were paid,
18         accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
19         foreign person who would be a member of the same
20         unitary business group but for the fact that the
21         foreign person's business activity outside the United
22         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
23         activity. The addition modification required by this
24         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
25         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
26         group for the same taxable year and received by the

 

 

SB0559 - 17 - LRB095 10784 KBJ 31027 b

1         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
2         business group (including amounts included in gross
3         income under Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal
4         Revenue Code and amounts included in gross income under
5         Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect
6         to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
7         expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
8         incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
9         apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
10         reduction to the addition modification required under
11         Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
12         subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"
13         includes (1) expenses, losses, and costs for, or
14         related to, the direct or indirect acquisition, use,
15         maintenance or management, ownership, sale, exchange,
16         or any other disposition of intangible property; (2)
17         losses incurred, directly or indirectly, from
18         factoring transactions or discounting transactions;
19         (3) royalty, patent, technical, and copyright fees;
20         (4) licensing fees; and (5) other similar expenses and
21         costs. For purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible

6                 that reflects an arm's-length interest rate
7                 and terms; or
8                 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
9             clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
10             paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
11             agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
12             terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
13             not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
14                 (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
15             incurred, directly or indirectly, to a foreign

19             agree in writing to the application or use of an
20             alternative method of apportionment under Section
21             304(f).
22                 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the

12         foreign person's business activity outside the United
13         States is 80% or more of that person's total business
14         activity. The addition modification required by this
15         subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
16         dividends were included in base income of the unitary
17         group for the same taxable year and received by the
18         taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
19         business group (including amounts included in gross
20         income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the

13         subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
14         patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
15         marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
16         similar types of intangible assets.
17             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

5                 taxable year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
6                 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
7                 not a related member, and
8                     (b) the transaction giving rise to the
9                 intangible expense or cost between the
10                 taxpayer and the foreign person did not have as
11                 a principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
12                 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
13                 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
14                 or

13         with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
14         the intangible expenses and costs were directly or

14         stock of the same person to whom the intangible
15         expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
16         incurred or accrued. The preceding sentence shall not
17         apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
18         reduction to the addition modification required under

20         subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"

5         names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask
6         works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
7         assets;
8             This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
9                 (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
10             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
11             indirectly, from a transaction with a foreign
12             person who is subject in a foreign country or
13             state, other than a state which requires mandatory

15             income with respect to such item; or
16                 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
17             paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
18             indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based

15         filed a separate return for federal income tax purposes
16         for the taxable year and each preceding taxable year
17         for which it was a member of an affiliated group. For
18         purposes of this subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate

9         Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
10         a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
11         a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the

SB0559 - 86 - LRB095 10784 KBJ 31027 b

2     later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
3     all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
4     year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
5     related to that asset or business that generated the
6     non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
7     business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
8     or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
9     using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
10     for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
11     taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
12     computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
13     the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding

19             (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
20         amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
21         under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
22         Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
23         which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
24             (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
25         1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
26         capital gain) for all property in respect of which such

 

 

SB0559 - 87 - LRB095 10784 KBJ 31027 b

1         gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
2         the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
3         taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
4         such gain included in the amount determined under
5         subsection (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
6         (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
7             (A) If the fair market value of property referred
8         to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
9         1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
10         such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
11         fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
12         determining gain) for such property on that date
13         (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
14         effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
15         and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
16         respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of

18             (B) If the fair market value of property referred
19         to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
20         August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
21         amount for such property is that amount which bears the
22         same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
23         property for federal income tax purposes for the
24         taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
25         that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
26         property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of

 

 

SB0559 - 88 - LRB095 10784 KBJ 31027 b

1         full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
2         period for the property.

4         regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
5         purposes of this paragraph.

10 this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
11 the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
12 account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
13 taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
14 year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
