17operator a notice of tax liability for the amount of tax
18claimed by the Department to be due for a given period, but

20deficiency to any particular month or months, together with a
21penalty in an amount determined in accordance with Sections
223-3, 3-5, and 3-6 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act,
23under which circumstances the aforesaid notice of tax liability
24shall be prima facie correct and shall be prima facie evidence
25of the correctness of the amount of tax due, as shown therein;
26and proof of such correctness may be made in accordance with,

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 19 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1and the admissibility of a reproduced copy of such notice of
2tax liability shall be governed by, all the provisions of this
3Act applicable to corrected returns. If any cigarette machine
4operator filing any return dies or becomes a person under legal

18the amount found to be due as a result of such hearing. If a
19written protest to the notice of tax liability and a request
20for a hearing thereon is not filed within 60 days after such
21notice of tax liability, such notice of tax liability shall
22become final without the necessity of a final assessment being
23issued and shall be deemed to be a final assessment.
24    (c) In case of failure to pay the tax, or any portion
25thereof, or any penalty provided for in this Act, when due, the
26Department may bring suit to recover the amount of such tax, or

1portion thereof, or penalty; or, if the taxpayer dies or
2becomes incompetent, by filing claim therefore against his or
3her estate; provided that no such action with respect to any
4tax, or portion thereof, or penalty, shall be instituted more
5than 2 years after the cause of action accrues, except with the
6consent of the person from whom such tax or penalty is due.
7    After the expiration of the period within which the person
8assessed may file an action for judicial review under the
9Administrative Review Law without such an action being filed, a
10certified copy of the final assessment or revised final
11assessment of the Department may be filed with the circuit
12court of the county in which the taxpayer has his or her
13principal place of business, or of Sangamon County in those
14cases in which the taxpayer does not have his or her principal
15place of business in this State. The certified copy of the
16final assessment or revised final assessment shall be
17accompanied by a certification which recites facts that are
18sufficient to show that the Department complied with the
19jurisdictional requirements of the law in arriving at its final
20assessment or its revised final assessment and that the
21taxpayer had his or her opportunity for an administrative
22hearing and for judicial review, whether he or she availed
23himself or herself of either or both of these opportunities or
24not. If the court is satisfied that the Department complied
25with the jurisdictional requirements of the law in arriving at
26its final assessment or its revised final assessment and that

1the taxpayer had his or her opportunity for an administrative
2hearing and for judicial review, whether he or she availed
3himself or herself of either or both of these opportunities or
4not, the court shall enter judgment in favor of the Department
5and against the taxpayer for the amount shown to be due by the
6final assessment or the revised final assessment, and such
7judgment shall be filed of record in the court. Such judgment
8shall bear the rate of interest set in the Uniform Penalty and
9Interest Act, but otherwise shall have the same effect as other
10judgments. The judgment may be enforced, and all laws
11applicable to sales for the enforcement of a judgment shall be
12applicable to sales made under such judgments. The Department
13shall file the certified copy of its assessment, as herein
14provided, with the circuit court within 2 years after such
15assessment becomes final except when the taxpayer consents in
16writing to an extension of such filing period.
17    If, when the cause of action for a proceeding in court
18accrues against a person, he or she is out of the State, the
19action may be commenced within the times herein limited, after
20his or her coming into or returning to the State; and if, after
21the cause of action accrues, he or she departs from and remains
22out of the State, the time of his or her absence is no part of
23the time limited for the commencement of the action; but the
24foregoing provisions concerning absence from the State shall
25not apply to any case in which, at the time the cause of action
26accrues, the party against whom the cause of action accrues is

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 22 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1not a resident of this State. The time within which a court
2action is to be commenced by the Department hereunder shall not
3run while the taxpayer is a debtor in any proceeding under the
4federal Bankruptcy Code nor thereafter until 90 days after the
5Department is notified by such debtor of being discharged in
6bankruptcy.
7    No claim shall be filed against the estate of any deceased
8person or a person under legal disability for any tax or
9penalty or part of either except in the manner prescribed and
10within the time limited by the Probate Act of 1975.
11    The remedies provided for herein shall not be exclusive,
12but all remedies available to creditors for the collection of
13debts shall be available for the collection of any tax or
14penalty due hereunder.
15    The collection of tax or penalty by any means provided for
16herein shall not be a bar to any prosecution under this Act.
17    The certificate of the Director of the Department to the
18effect that a tax or amount required to be paid by this Act has
19not been paid, that a return has not been filed, or that
20information has not been supplied pursuant to the provisions of
21this Act, shall be prima facie evidence thereof.
22    All of the provisions of Sections 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f,
235g, 5i and 5j of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, which are
24not inconsistent with this Act, shall apply, as far as

5    Section 1-50. Failure to file return or pay tax; penalty;
6protest.
7    In case any person who is required to file a return under
8this Act fails to file a return, or files a return and fails to
9remit the correct amount of tax, the Department shall determine
10the amount of tax due from him according to its best judgment
11and information, which amount so fixed by the Department shall
12be prima facie correct and shall be prima facie evidence of the
13correctness of the amount of tax due, as shown in such
14determination. Proof of such determination by the Department
15may be made at any hearing before the Department or in any
16legal proceeding by a reproduced copy of the Department's
17record relating thereto in the name of the Department under the
18certificate of the Director of Revenue. Such reproduced copy
19shall, without further proof, be admitted into evidence before
20the Department or in any legal proceeding and shall be prima
21facie proof of the correctness of the amount of tax due, as
22shown therein. The Department shall issue such person a notice
23of tax liability for the amount of tax claimed by the
24Department to be due, together with a penalty in an amount
25determined in accordance with Sections 3-3, 3-5 and 3-6 of the

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 24 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1Uniform Penalty and Interest Act. If such person or the legal
2representative of such person, within 60 days after such
3notice, files a written protest to such notice of tax liability
4and requests a hearing thereon, the Department shall give
5notice to such person or the legal representative of such
6person of the time and place fixed for such hearing and shall
7hold a hearing in conformity with the provisions of this Act,
8and pursuant thereto shall issue a final assessment to such
9person or to the legal representative of such person for the
10amount found to be due as a result of such hearing. If a
11written protest to the notice of tax liability and a request
12for a hearing thereon is not filed within 60 days after such
13notice of tax liability, such notice of tax liability shall
14become final without the necessity of a final assessment being
15issued and shall be deemed to be a final assessment.
 
16    Section 1-55. Claims; credit memorandum or refunds. If it
17appears, after claim is filed with the Department, that an
18amount of tax or penalty has been paid which was not due under
19this Act, whether as the result of a mistake of fact or an
20error of law, except as hereinafter provided, then the
21Department shall issue a credit memorandum or refund to the
22person who made the erroneous payment or, if that person has
23died or become a person under legal disability, to his or her
24legal representative.
25    If it is determined that the Department should issue a

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 25 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1credit or refund under this Act, the Department may first apply
2the amount thereof against any amount of tax or penalty due
3under this Act, the Cigarette Tax Act, the Cigarette Use Tax
4Act, or the Tobacco Products Act of 1995 from the person
5entitled to that credit or refund. For this purpose, if
6proceedings are pending to determine whether or not any tax or
7penalty is due under this Act or under the Cigarette Tax Act,
8Cigarette Use Tax Act, or the Tobacco Products Act of 1995 from
9the person, the Department may withhold issuance of the credit
10or refund pending the final disposition of such proceedings and
11may apply such credit or refund against any amount found to be
12due to the Department under this Act, the Cigarette Tax Act,
13the Cigarette Use Tax Act, or the Tobacco Products Act of 1995
14as a result of such proceedings. The balance, if any, of the
15credit or refund shall be issued to the person entitled
16thereto.
17    If no tax or penalty is due and no proceeding is pending to
18determine whether such taxpayer is indebted to the Department
19for the payment of a tax or penalty, the credit memorandum or
20refund shall be issued to the claimant; or (in the case of a
21credit memorandum) the credit memorandum may be assigned and
22set over by the lawful holder thereof, subject to reasonable
23rules of the Department, to any other person who is subject to
24this Act, the Cigarette Tax Act, the Cigarette Use Tax Act, or
25the Tobacco Products Act of 1995, and the amount thereof shall
26be applied by the Department against any tax or penalty due or

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 26 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1to become due under this Act, the Cigarette Tax Act, the
2Cigarette Use Tax Act, or the Tobacco Products Act of 1995 from
3such assignee.
4    As to any claim filed hereunder with the Department on and
5after each January 1 and July 1, no amount of tax or penalty
6erroneously paid (either in total or partial liquidation of a
7tax or penalty under this Act) more than 3 years prior to such
8January 1 and July 1, respectively, shall be credited or
9refunded, except that, if both the Department and the taxpayer
10have agreed to an extension of time to issue a notice of tax
11liability under this Act, the claim may be filed at any time
12prior to the expiration of the period agreed upon.
13    Any credit or refund that is allowed under this Act shall
14bear interest at the rate and in the manner set forth in the
15Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
16    In case the Department determines that the claimant is
17entitled to a refund, such refund shall be made only from
18appropriations available for that purpose. If it appears
19unlikely that the amount appropriated would permit everyone
20having a claim allowed during the period covered by such
21appropriation to elect to receive a cash refund, the
22Department, by rule or regulation, shall provide for the
23payment of refunds in hardship cases and shall define what
24types of cases qualify as hardship cases.
25    The provisions of Sections 6a, 6b, and 6c of the Retailers'
26Occupation Tax Act which are not inconsistent with this Act

15and require proof, and may issue subpoenas duces tecum to
16compel the production of relevant books, papers, records, and
17memoranda, for the information of the Department.
18    In the conduct of any investigation or hearing provided for
19by this Act, neither the Department, nor any officer or
20employee thereof, shall be bound by the technical rules of
21evidence, and no informality in the proceedings nor in the
22manner of taking testimony shall invalidate any rule, order,
23decision, or regulation made, approved, or confirmed by the
24Department.

11immunity. No person shall be excused from testifying or from
12producing any books, papers, records, or memoranda in any
13investigation or upon any hearing, when ordered to do so by the
14Department or any officer or employee thereof, upon the ground
15that the testimony or evidence, documentary or otherwise, may
16tend to incriminate him or subject him to a criminal penalty,
17but no person shall be prosecuted or subjected to any criminal
18penalty for or on account of the subject matter of his or her
19testimony or the evidence produced before the Department or an
20officer or employee of the Department; provided that such
21immunity shall extend only to a natural person who, in
22obedience to a subpoena, gives testimony under oath or produces
23evidence under oath. No person so testifying shall be exempt
24from prosecution and punishment for perjury committed in so
25testifying.

12which may be occasioned by such proceedings.
13    Whenever any proceeding provided by this Act is begun
14before the Department, either by the Department or by a person

16a person under legal disability before such proceeding is
17concluded, the legal representative of the deceased person or
18of the person under legal disability shall notify the
19Department of such death or legal disability. Such legal

3relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax liability,
4without regard to any property tax exemption granted under

1        (4) Support for State health care programs for
2    low-income individuals. At the election of the hospital
3    applicant for each applicable year, either (A) 10% of
4    payments to the relevant hospital entity and any hospital
5    affiliate designated by the relevant hospital entity
6    (provided that such hospital affiliate's operations
7    provide financial or operational support for or receive
8    financial or operational support from the relevant
9    hospital entity) under Medicaid or other means-tested
10    programs, including, but not limited to, General
11    Assistance, the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and
12    the State Children's Health Insurance Program or (B) the

18    hospital entity) to State or local government in treating
19    Medicaid recipients and recipients of means-tested
20    programs, including but not limited to General Assistance,
21    the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and the State
22    Children's Health Insurance Program. The amount of subsidy
23    for purpose of this item (4) is calculated in the same

1    amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly.
2        (5) Dual-eligible subsidy. The amount of subsidy

7    Medicare, calculated in the same manner as determined in
8    the Schedule H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective
9    date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly,
10    by the relevant hospital entity's ratio of dual-eligible
11    patients to total Medicare patients.
12        (6) Relief of the burden of government related to
13    health care. Except to the extent otherwise taken into
14    account in this subsection, the portion of unreimbursed
15    costs of the relevant hospital entity attributable to
16    providing, paying for, or subsidizing goods, activities,
17    or services that relieve the burden of government related
18    to health care for low-income individuals. Such activities
19    or services shall include, but are not limited to,
20    providing emergency, trauma, burn, neonatal, psychiatric,
21    rehabilitation, or other special services; providing
22    medical education; and conducting medical research or
23    training of health care professionals. The portion of those
24    unreimbursed costs attributable to benefiting low-income
25    individuals shall be determined using the ratio calculated
26    by adding the relevant hospital entity's costs

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 53 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested
2    government programs, disabled Medicare patients under age
3    65, and dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients and
4    dividing that total by the relevant hospital entity's total
5    costs. Such costs for the numerator and denominator shall
6    be determined by multiplying gross charges by the cost to
7    charge ratio taken from the hospital's most recently filed
8    Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet, Part I). In
9    the case of emergency services, the ratio shall be
10    calculated using costs (gross charges multiplied by the
11    cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most
12    recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10
13    Worksheet, Part I)) of patients treated in the relevant
14    hospital entity's emergency department.
15        (7) Any other activity by the relevant hospital entity
16    that the Department determines relieves the burden of
17    government or addresses the health of low-income or
18    underserved individuals.
19    (d) The hospital applicant shall include information in its
20exemption application establishing that it satisfies the
21requirements of subsection (b). For purposes of making the
22calculations required by subsection (b), the hospital
23applicant may for each year elect to use either (1) the value
24of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the
25hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or
26activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 54 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1year. If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for
2less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter
3calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata
4basis.
5    (e) For purposes of making the calculations required by
6this Section:
7        (1) particular services or activities eligible for
8    consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7)
9    of subsection (c) may not be counted under more than one of
10    those paragraphs; and
11        (2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount of
12    subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted
13    payments received by the relevant hospital entity as
14    contributions deductible under Section 170(a) of the
15    Internal Revenue Code.
16    (g) Estimation of Exempt Property Tax Liability. The
17estimated property tax liability used for the determination in
18subsection (b) shall be calculated as follows:
19        (1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the
20    estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed,
21    with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant
22    hospital entity's properties that are already fully or
23    partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in
24    part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as
25    applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties
26    were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 55 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    property by multiplying:
2            (A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value, if
3        any, of the portion of the property for which an
4        exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value
5        of the exempt portion of such property as determined in
6        item (2) of this subsection (g), by
7            (B) the applicable State equalization rate
8        (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
9            (C) the applicable tax rate.
10        (2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt portion
11    of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair
12    market value of buildings on the property, as determined in
13    accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2),
14    multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii)
15    the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the
16    property, as determined in accordance with subparagraph
17    (C).
18            (A) The "estimated fair market value of buildings
19        on the property" means the replacement value of any
20        exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus
21        depreciation, determined utilizing the cost
22        replacement method whereby the exempt square footage
23        of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement
24        cost per square foot for Class A Average building found
25        in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift
26        Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate

1        current cost and local multipliers.
2            (B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the
3        estimated fair market value of buildings on the
4        property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life
5        for the buildings based on original construction and
6        assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the

8        specified in the American Hospital Association
9        publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable
10        Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings,
11        the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is
12        multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to
13        obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings. If
14        a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining
15        life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a
16        building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of
17        32 years is assumed.
18            (C) The estimated assessed value of the land
19        portion of the property shall be determined by
20        multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the
21        assessed values of three parcels of land (not including
22        farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the
23        improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the
24        property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising
25        the exempt portion of the property's land square
26        footage.

22    attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested
23    government programs, disabled Medicare patients under age

1    be determined by multiplying gross charges by the cost to
2    charge ratio taken from the hospital's most recently filed
3    Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet, Part I). In
4    the case of emergency services, the ratio shall be
5    calculated using costs (gross charges multiplied by the
6    cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most
7    recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10
8    Worksheet, Part I)) of patients treated in the relevant
9    hospital entity's emergency department.

19of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the
20hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or
21activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital
22year. If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for
23less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter
24calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata
25basis.
26    (e) For purposes of making the calculations required by

16    with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant
17    hospital entity's properties that are already fully or
18    partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in
19    part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as
20    applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties
21    were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such
22    property by multiplying:
23            (A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value, if
24        any, of the portion of the property for which an
25        exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value
26        of the exempt portion of such property as determined in

3        (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
4            (C) the applicable tax rate.
5        (2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt portion
6    of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair
7    market value of buildings on the property, as determined in
8    accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2),
9    multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii)
10    the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the

14        on the property" means the replacement value of any
15        exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus
16        depreciation, determined utilizing the cost
17        replacement method whereby the exempt square footage
18        of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement
19        cost per square foot for Class A Average building found
20        in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift
21        Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate
22        current cost and local multipliers.
23            (B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the
24        estimated fair market value of buildings on the
25        property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life
26        for the buildings based on original construction and

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 67 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

5        Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings,
6        the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is
7        multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to
8        obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings. If
9        a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining
10        life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a
11        building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of
12        32 years is assumed.
13            (C) The estimated assessed value of the land
14        portion of the property shall be determined by
15        multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the
16        assessed values of three parcels of land (not including
17        farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the
18        improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the
19        property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising
20        the exempt portion of the property's land square
21        footage.
22        (3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,
23    and tax rate (including any special factors such as
24    Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated
25    property tax liability shall be for the most recent year

16    by adding the relevant hospital entity's costs
17    attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested
18    government programs, disabled Medicare patients under age
19    65, and dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients and
20    dividing that total by the relevant hospital entity's total
21    costs. Such costs for the numerator and denominator shall
22    be determined by multiplying gross charges by the cost to
23    charge ratio taken from the hospital's most recently filed
24    Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet, Part I). In
25    the case of emergency services, the ratio shall be
26    calculated using costs (gross charges multiplied by the

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 75 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most
2    recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10
3    Worksheet, Part I)) of patients treated in the relevant
4    hospital entity's emergency department.
5        (7) Any other activity by the relevant hospital entity
6    that the Department determines relieves the burden of
7    government or addresses the health of low-income or
8    underserved individuals.
9    (d) The hospital applicant shall include information in its
10exemption application establishing that it satisfies the
11requirements of subsection (b). For purposes of making the
12calculations required by subsection (b), the hospital
13applicant may for each year elect to use either (1) the value
14of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the
15hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or
16activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital
17year. If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for
18less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter
19calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata
20basis.
21    (e) For purposes of making the calculations required by
22this Section:
23        (1) particular services or activities eligible for
24    consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7)
25    of subsection (c) may not be counted under more than one of
26    those paragraphs; and

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 76 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1        (2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount of
2    subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted
3    payments received by the relevant hospital entity as
4    contributions deductible under Section 170(a) of the
5    Internal Revenue Code.
6    (g) Estimation of Exempt Property Tax Liability. The
7estimated property tax liability used for the determination in
8subsection (b) shall be calculated as follows:
9        (1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the
10    estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed,
11    with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant
12    hospital entity's properties that are already fully or
13    partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in
14    part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as
15    applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties
16    were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such
17    property by multiplying:
18            (A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value, if
19        any, of the portion of the property for which an
20        exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value
21        of the exempt portion of such property as determined in
22        item (2) of this subsection (g), by
23            (B) the applicable State equalization rate
24        (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
25            (C) the applicable tax rate.
26        (2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt portion

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 77 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair
2    market value of buildings on the property, as determined in
3    accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2),
4    multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii)
5    the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the
6    property, as determined in accordance with subparagraph
7    (C).
8            (A) The "estimated fair market value of buildings
9        on the property" means the replacement value of any
10        exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus
11        depreciation, determined utilizing the cost
12        replacement method whereby the exempt square footage
13        of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement
14        cost per square foot for Class A Average building found
15        in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift
16        Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate
17        current cost and local multipliers.
18            (B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the
19        estimated fair market value of buildings on the
20        property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life
21        for the buildings based on original construction and
22        assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the
23        applicable life for other types of buildings as
24        specified in the American Hospital Association
25        publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable
26        Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings,

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 78 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1        the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is
2        multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to
3        obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings. If
4        a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining
5        life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a
6        building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of
7        32 years is assumed.
8            (C) The estimated assessed value of the land
9        portion of the property shall be determined by
10        multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the
11        assessed values of three parcels of land (not including
12        farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the
13        improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the
14        property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising
15        the exempt portion of the property's land square
16        footage.
17        (3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,
18    and tax rate (including any special factors such as
19    Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated
20    property tax liability shall be for the most recent year
21    that is publicly available from the applicable chief county
22    assessment officer or officers at least 90 days before the
23    end of the hospital year.
24        (4) The method utilized to calculate estimated
25    property tax liability for purposes of this Section 15-86
26    shall not be utilized for the actual valuation, assessment,

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 79 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

10    individuals shall be determined using the ratio calculated
11    by adding the relevant hospital entity's costs
12    attributable to charity care, Medicaid, other means-tested
13    government programs, disabled Medicare patients under age
14    65, and dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients and

17    be determined by multiplying gross charges by the cost to
18    charge ratio taken from the hospital's most recently filed
19    Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet, Part I). In
20    the case of emergency services, the ratio shall be
21    calculated using costs (gross charges multiplied by the
22    cost to charge ratio taken from the hospital's most
23    recently filed Medicare cost report (CMS 2252-10
24    Worksheet, Part I)) of patients treated in the relevant

10hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or
11activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital
12year. If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for
13less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter
14calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata
15basis.
16    (e) For purposes of making the calculations required by
17this Section:
18        (1) particular services or activities eligible for
19    consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7)
20    of subsection (c) may not be counted under more than one of
21    those paragraphs; and
22        (2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount of
23    subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted
24    payments received by the relevant hospital entity as

4        (1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the
5    estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed,
6    with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant
7    hospital entity's properties that are already fully or
8    partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in
9    part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as
10    applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties
11    were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such
12    property by multiplying:
13            (A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value, if
14        any, of the portion of the property for which an
15        exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value
16        of the exempt portion of such property as determined in
17        item (2) of this subsection (g), by
18            (B) the applicable State equalization rate
19        (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
20            (C) the applicable tax rate.
21        (2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt portion
22    of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair
23    market value of buildings on the property, as determined in
24    accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2),
25    multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii)

7        replacement method whereby the exempt square footage
8        of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement
9        cost per square foot for Class A Average building found
10        in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift
11        Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate
12        current cost and local multipliers.
13            (B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the
14        estimated fair market value of buildings on the
15        property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life
16        for the buildings based on original construction and
17        assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the
18        applicable life for other types of buildings as
19        specified in the American Hospital Association
20        publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable
21        Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings,
22        the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is
23        multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to
24        obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings. If
25        a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining
26        life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 89 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

7        farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the
8        improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the
9        property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising
10        the exempt portion of the property's land square
11        footage.
12        (3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,
13    and tax rate (including any special factors such as
14    Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated
15    property tax liability shall be for the most recent year
16    that is publicly available from the applicable chief county
17    assessment officer or officers at least 90 days before the
18    end of the hospital year.
19        (4) The method utilized to calculate estimated
20    property tax liability for purposes of this Section 15-86
21    shall not be utilized for the actual valuation, assessment,

1    (35 ILCS 200/15-86 new)
2    Sec. 15-86. Exemptions related to access to hospital and
3health care services by low-income and underserved
4individuals.
5    (a) The General Assembly finds:
6        (1) Despite the Supreme Court's decision in Provena
7    Covenant Medical Center v. Dept. of Revenue, 236 Ill.2d
8    368, there is considerable uncertainty surrounding the
9    test for charitable property tax exemption, especially
10    regarding the application of a quantitative or monetary
11    threshold. In Provena, the Department stated that the
12    primary basis for its decision was the hospital's
13    inadequate amount of charitable activity, but the
14    Department has not articulated what constitutes an
15    adequate amount of charitable activity. After Provena, the
16    Department denied property tax exemption applications of 3
17    more hospitals, and, on the effective date of this
18    amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, at least 20
19    other hospitals are awaiting rulings on applications for
20    property tax exemption.
21        (2) In Provena, two Illinois Supreme Court justices
22    opined that "setting a monetary or quantum standard is a
23    complex decision which should be left to our legislature,
24    should it so choose". The Appellate Court in Provena
25    stated: "The language we use in the State of Illinois to

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 128 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    determine whether real property is used for a charitable
2    purpose has its genesis in our 1870 Constitution. It is
3    obvious that such language may be difficult to apply to the
4    modern face of our nation's health care delivery systems".
5    The court noted the many significant changes in the health
6    care system since that time, but concluded that taking
7    these changes into account is a matter of public policy,
8    and "it is the legislature's job, not ours, to make public
9    policy".
10        (3) It is essential to ensure that tax exemption law
11    relating to hospitals accounts for the complexities of the
12    modern health care delivery system. Health care is moving
13    beyond the walls of the hospital. In addition to treating
14    individual patients, hospitals are assuming responsibility
15    for improving the health status of communities and
16    populations. Low-income and underserved communities
17    benefit disproportionately by these activities.
18        (4) The Supreme Court has explained that: "the
19    fundamental ground upon which all exemptions in favor of
20    charitable institutions are based is the benefit conferred
21    upon the public by them, and a consequent relief, to some
22    extent, of the burden upon the state to care for and
23    advance the interests of its citizens". Hospitals relieve
24    the burden of government in many ways, but most
25    significantly through their participation in and
26    substantial financial subsidization of the Illinois

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 129 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    Medicaid program, which could not operate without the
2    participation and partnership of Illinois hospitals.
3        (5) Working with the Illinois hospital community and
4    other interested parties, the General Assembly has
5    developed a comprehensive combination of related
6    legislation that addresses hospital property tax
7    exemption, significantly increases access to free health
8    care for indigent persons, and strengthens the Medical
9    Assistance program. It is the intent of the General
10    Assembly to establish a new category of ownership for
11    charitable property tax exemption to be applied to
12    not-for-profit hospitals and hospital affiliates in lieu
13    of the existing ownership category of "institutions of
14    public charity". It is also the intent of the General
15    Assembly to establish quantifiable standards for the
16    issuance of charitable exemptions for such property. It is
17    not the intent of the General Assembly to declare any
18    property exempt ipso facto, but rather to establish
19    criteria to be applied to the facts on a case-by-case
20    basis.
21    (b) For the purpose of this Section and Section 15-10, the
22following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
23        (1) "Hospital" means any institution, place, building,
24    buildings on a campus, or other health care facility

3    owner of the beneficial interest in an Illinois land trust
4    that is the titleholder of a hospital.
5        (3) "Hospital affiliate" means any corporation,
6    partnership, limited partnership, joint venture, limited
7    liability company, association or other organization,

9    controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with
10    one or more hospital owners and that supports, is supported
11    by, or acts in furtherance of the exempt health care
12    purposes of at least one of those hospital owners'
13    hospitals.
14        (4) "Hospital system" means a hospital and one or more
15    other hospitals or hospital affiliates related by common
16    control or ownership.
17        (5) "Control" relating to hospital owners, hospital
18    affiliates, or hospital systems means possession, direct
19    or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction
20    of the management and policies of the entity, whether
21    through ownership of assets, membership interest, other
22    voting or governance rights, by contract or otherwise.
23        (6) "Hospital applicant" means a hospital owner or
24    hospital affiliate that files an application for a property
25    tax exemption pursuant to Section 15-5 and this Section.

SB2194 Enrolled- 131 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    owner, in the case of a hospital applicant that is a
2    hospital owner, and (B) at the election of a hospital
3    applicant that is a hospital affiliate, either (i) the
4    hospital affiliate or (ii) the hospital system to which the
5    hospital applicant belongs, including any hospitals or
6    hospital affiliates that are related by common control or
7    ownership.
8        (8) "Subject property" means property for which a
9    hospital applicant files an application for an exemption
10    pursuant to Section 15-5 and this Section.
11        (9) "Hospital year" means the fiscal year of the
12    relevant hospital entity, or the fiscal year of one of the
13    hospital owners in the hospital system if the relevant
14    hospital entity is a hospital system with members with
15    different fiscal years, that ends in the year for which the
16    exemption is sought.
17    (c) A hospital applicant satisfies the conditions for an
18exemption under this Section with respect to the subject
19property, and shall be issued a charitable exemption for that
20property, if the value of services or activities listed in
21subsection (e) for the hospital year equals or exceeds the
22relevant hospital entity's estimated property tax liability,
23as determined under subsection (g), for the year for which
24exemption is sought. For purposes of making the calculations
25required by this subsection (c), if the relevant hospital
26entity is a hospital owner that owns more than one hospital,

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 132 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1the value of the services or activities listed in subsection
2(e) shall be calculated on the basis of only those services and
3activities relating to the hospital that includes the subject
4property, and the relevant hospital entity's estimated
5property tax liability shall be calculated only with respect to
6the properties comprising that hospital. In the case of a
7multi-state hospital system or hospital affiliate, the value of
8the services or activities listed in subsection (e) shall be
9calculated on the basis of only those services and activities
10that occur in Illinois and the relevant hospital entity's
11estimated property tax liability shall be calculated only with
12respect to its property located in Illinois.
13    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, any
14parcel or portion thereof, that is owned by a for-profit entity
15whether part of the hospital system or not, or that is leased,
16licensed or operated by a for-profit entity regardless of
17whether healthcare services are provided on that parcel shall
18not qualify for exemption. If a parcel has both exempt and
19non-exempt uses, an exemption may be granted for the qualifying
20portion of that parcel. In the case of parking lots and common
21areas serving both exempt and non-exempt uses those parcels or
22portions thereof may qualify for an exemption in proportion to
23the amount of qualifying use.
24    (d) The hospital applicant shall include information in its
25exemption application establishing that it satisfies the
26requirements of subsection (c). For purposes of making the

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 133 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1calculations required by subsection (c), the hospital
2applicant may for each year elect to use either (1) the value
3of the services or activities listed in subsection (e) for the
4hospital year or (2) the average value of those services or
5activities for the 3 fiscal years ending with the hospital
6year. If the relevant hospital entity has been in operation for
7less than 3 completed fiscal years, then the latter
8calculation, if elected, shall be performed on a pro rata
9basis.
10    (e) Services that address the health care needs of
11low-income or underserved individuals or relieve the burden of
12government with regard to health care services. The following
13services and activities shall be considered for purposes of
14making the calculations required by subsection (c):
15        (1) Charity care. Free or discounted services provided
16    pursuant to the relevant hospital entity's financial
17    assistance policy, measured at cost, including discounts
18    provided under the Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount
19    Act.
20        (2) Health services to low-income and underserved
21    individuals. Other unreimbursed costs of the relevant
22    hospital entity for providing without charge, paying for,
23    or subsidizing goods, activities, or services for the
24    purpose of addressing the health of low-income or
25    underserved individuals. Those activities or services may
26    include, but are not limited to: financial or in-kind

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 134 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    support to affiliated or unaffiliated hospitals, hospital
2    affiliates, community clinics, or programs that treat
3    low-income or underserved individuals; paying for or
4    subsidizing health care professionals who care for
5    low-income or underserved individuals; providing or
6    subsidizing outreach or educational services to low-income
7    or underserved individuals for disease management and
8    prevention; free or subsidized goods, supplies, or
9    services needed by low-income or underserved individuals
10    because of their medical condition; and prenatal or
11    childbirth outreach to low-income or underserved persons.
12        (3) Subsidy of State or local governments. Direct or
13    indirect financial or in-kind subsidies of State or local
14    governments by the relevant hospital entity that pay for or

17        (4) Support for State health care programs for
18    low-income individuals. At the election of the hospital
19    applicant for each applicable year, either (A) 10% of
20    payments to the relevant hospital entity and any hospital
21    affiliate designated by the relevant hospital entity
22    (provided that such hospital affiliate's operations
23    provide financial or operational support for or receive
24    financial or operational support from the relevant
25    hospital entity) under Medicaid or other means-tested
26    programs, including, but not limited to, General

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 135 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    Assistance, the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and
2    the State Children's Health Insurance Program or (B) the
3    amount of subsidy provided by the relevant hospital entity
4    and any hospital affiliate designated by the relevant
5    hospital entity (provided that such hospital affiliate's
6    operations provide financial or operational support for or
7    receive financial or operational support from the relevant
8    hospital entity) to State or local government in treating
9    Medicaid recipients and recipients of means-tested
10    programs, including but not limited to General Assistance,
11    the Covering ALL KIDS Health Insurance Act, and the State
12    Children's Health Insurance Program. The amount of subsidy
13    for purposes of this item (4) is calculated in the same
14    manner as unreimbursed costs are calculated for Medicaid
15    and other means-tested government programs in the Schedule
16    H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective date of this
17    amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly; provided,
18    however, that in any event unreimbursed costs shall be net
19    of fee-for-services payments, payments pursuant to an
20    assessment, quarterly payments, and all other payments
21    included on the schedule H of the IRS form 990.
22        (5) Dual-eligible subsidy. The amount of subsidy
23    provided to government by treating dual-eligible
24    Medicare/Medicaid patients. The amount of subsidy for
25    purposes of this item (5) is calculated by multiplying the
26    relevant hospital entity's unreimbursed costs for

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 136 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    Medicare, calculated in the same manner as determined in
2    the Schedule H of IRS Form 990 in effect on the effective
3    date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly,
4    by the relevant hospital entity's ratio of dual-eligible
5    patients to total Medicare patients.
6        (6) Relief of the burden of government related to
7    health care of low-income individuals. Except to the extent
8    otherwise taken into account in this subsection, the
9    portion of unreimbursed costs of the relevant hospital
10    entity attributable to providing, paying for, or
11    subsidizing goods, activities, or services that relieve
12    the burden of government related to health care for
13    low-income individuals. Such activities or services shall
14    include, but are not limited to, providing emergency,
15    trauma, burn, neonatal, psychiatric, rehabilitation, or
16    other special services; providing medical education; and
17    conducting medical research or training of health care
18    professionals. The portion of those unreimbursed costs
19    attributable to benefiting low-income individuals shall be
20    determined using the ratio calculated by adding the
21    relevant hospital entity's costs attributable to charity
22    care, Medicaid, other means-tested government programs,
23    disabled Medicare patients under age 65, and dual-eligible
24    Medicare/Medicaid patients and dividing that total by the
25    relevant hospital entity's total costs. Such costs for the
26    numerator and denominator shall be determined by

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 137 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1    multiplying gross charges by the cost to charge ratio taken
2    from the hospitals' most recently filed Medicare cost
3    report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet C, Part I). In the case of
4    emergency services, the ratio shall be calculated using
5    costs (gross charges multiplied by the cost to charge ratio
6    taken from the hospitals' most recently filed Medicare cost
7    report (CMS 2252-10 Worksheet C, Part I)) of patients
8    treated in the relevant hospital entity's emergency
9    department.
10        (7) Any other activity by the relevant hospital entity
11    that the Department determines relieves the burden of
12    government or addresses the health of low-income or
13    underserved individuals.
14    (f) For purposes of making the calculations required by
15subsections (c) and (e):
16        (1) particular services or activities eligible for
17    consideration under any of the paragraphs (1) through (7)
18    of subsection (e) may not be counted under more than one of
19    those paragraphs; and
20        (2) the amount of unreimbursed costs and the amount of
21    subsidy shall not be reduced by restricted or unrestricted
22    payments received by the relevant hospital entity as
23    contributions deductible under Section 170(a) of the
24    Internal Revenue Code.
25    (g) Estimation of Exempt Property Tax Liability. The
26estimated property tax liability used for the determination in

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 138 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1subsection (c) shall be calculated as follows:
2        (1) "Estimated property tax liability" means the
3    estimated dollar amount of property tax that would be owed,
4    with respect to the exempt portion of each of the relevant
5    hospital entity's properties that are already fully or
6    partially exempt, or for which an exemption in whole or in
7    part is currently being sought, and then aggregated as
8    applicable, as if the exempt portion of those properties
9    were subject to tax, calculated with respect to each such
10    property by multiplying:
11            (A) the lesser of (i) the actual assessed value, if
12        any, of the portion of the property for which an
13        exemption is sought or (ii) an estimated assessed value
14        of the exempt portion of such property as determined in
15        item (2) of this subsection (g), by:
16            (B) the applicable State equalization rate
17        (yielding the equalized assessed value), by
18            (C) the applicable tax rate.
19        (2) The estimated assessed value of the exempt portion
20    of the property equals the sum of (i) the estimated fair
21    market value of buildings on the property, as determined in
22    accordance with subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this item (2),
23    multiplied by the applicable assessment factor, and (ii)
24    the estimated assessed value of the land portion of the
25    property, as determined in accordance with subparagraph
26    (C).

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 139 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1            (A) The "estimated fair market value of buildings
2        on the property" means the replacement value of any
3        exempt portion of buildings on the property, minus
4        depreciation, determined utilizing the cost
5        replacement method whereby the exempt square footage
6        of all such buildings is multiplied by the replacement
7        cost per square foot for Class A Average building found
8        in the most recent edition of the Marshall & Swift
9        Valuation Services Manual, adjusted by any appropriate
10        current cost and local multipliers.
11            (B) Depreciation, for purposes of calculating the
12        estimated fair market value of buildings on the
13        property, is applied by utilizing a weighted mean life
14        for the buildings based on original construction and
15        assuming a 40-year life for hospital buildings and the
16        applicable life for other types of buildings as
17        specified in the American Hospital Association
18        publication "Estimated Useful Lives of Depreciable
19        Hospital Assets". In the case of hospital buildings,
20        the remaining life is divided by 40 and this ratio is
21        multiplied by the replacement cost of the buildings to
22        obtain an estimated fair market value of buildings. If
23        a hospital building is older than 35 years, a remaining
24        life of 5 years for residual value is assumed; and if a
25        building is less than 8 years old, a remaining life of
26        32 years is assumed.

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 140 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1            (C) The estimated assessed value of the land
2        portion of the property shall be determined by
3        multiplying (i) the per square foot average of the
4        assessed values of three parcels of land (not including
5        farm land, and excluding the assessed value of the
6        improvements thereon) reasonably comparable to the
7        property, by (ii) the number of square feet comprising
8        the exempt portion of the property's land square
9        footage.
10        (3) The assessment factor, State equalization rate,
11    and tax rate (including any special factors such as
12    Enterprise Zones) used in calculating the estimated
13    property tax liability shall be for the most recent year
14    that is publicly available from the applicable chief county
15    assessment officer or officers at least 90 days before the
16    end of the hospital year.
17        (4) The method utilized to calculate estimated
18    property tax liability for purposes of this Section 15-86
19    shall not be utilized for the actual valuation, assessment,
20    or taxation of property pursuant to the Property Tax Code.
21    (h) Application. Each hospital applicant applying for a
22property tax exemption pursuant to Section 15-5 and this
23Section shall use an application form provided by the
24Department. The application form shall specify the records
25required in support of the application and those records shall
26be submitted to the Department with the application form. Each

 

 

SB2194 Enrolled- 141 -LRB097 10235 HLH 50431 b

1application or affidavit shall contain a verification by the
2Chief Executive Officer of the hospital applicant under oath or
3affirmation stating that each statement in the application or
4affidavit and each document submitted with the application or
5affidavit are true and correct. The records submitted with the
6application pursuant to this Section shall include an exhibit
7prepared by the relevant hospital entity showing (A) the value
8of the relevant hospital entity's services and activities, if
9any, under paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (e) of this
10Section stated separately for each paragraph, and (B) the value
11relating to the relevant hospital entity's estimated property
12tax liability under subsections (g)(1)(A), (B), and (C),
13subsections (g)(2)(A), (B), and (C), and subsection (g)(3) of
14this Section stated separately for each item. Such exhibit will
15be made available to the public by the chief county assessment
16officer. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as limiting
17the Attorney General's authority under the Illinois False
18Claims Act.
19    (i) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the
20ability of otherwise eligible hospitals, hospital owners,
21hospital affiliates, or hospital systems to obtain or maintain
22property tax exemptions pursuant to a provision of the Property
23Tax Code other than this Section.
 
24    Section 5-60. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
