AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 1

2    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 1 by replacing
3everything after the enacting clause with the following:
 
4    "Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
5Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act.
 
6    Section 5. Findings.
7    (a) The recorded use of cannabis as a medicine goes back
8nearly 5,000 years. Modern medical research has confirmed the
9beneficial uses of cannabis in treating or alleviating the
10pain, nausea, and other symptoms associated with a variety of
11debilitating medical conditions, including cancer, multiple
12sclerosis, and HIV/AIDS, as found by the National Academy of
13Sciences' Institute of Medicine in March 1999.
14    (b) Studies published since the 1999 Institute of Medicine
15report continue to show the therapeutic value of cannabis in
16treating a wide array of debilitating medical conditions. These

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 2 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1include relief of the neuropathic pain caused by multiple
2sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, and other illnesses that often fail to
3respond to conventional treatments and relief of nausea,
4vomiting, and other side effects of drugs used to treat
5HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C, increasing the chances of patients
6continuing on life-saving treatment regimens.
7    (c) Cannabis has many currently accepted medical uses in
8the United States, having been recommended by thousands of
9licensed physicians to at least 600,000 patients in states with
10medical cannabis laws. The medical utility of cannabis is
11recognized by a wide range of medical and public health
12organizations, including the American Academy of HIV Medicine,
13the American College of Physicians, the American Nurses
14Association, the American Public Health Association, the
15Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and many others.
16    (d) Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform
17Crime Reports and the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics
18show that approximately 99 out of every 100 cannabis arrests in
19the U.S. are made under state law, rather than under federal
20law. Consequently, changing State law will have the practical
21effect of protecting from arrest the vast majority of seriously
22ill patients who have a medical need to use cannabis.
23    (e) Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut,
24Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana,
25Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont,
26Washington, and Washington, D.C. have removed state-level

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 3 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1criminal penalties from the medical use and cultivation of
2cannabis. Illinois joins in this effort for the health and
3welfare of its citizens.
4    (f) States are not required to enforce federal law or
5prosecute people for engaging in activities prohibited by
6federal law. Therefore, compliance with this Act does not put
7the State of Illinois in violation of federal law.
8    (g) State law should make a distinction between the medical
9and non-medical uses of cannabis. Hence, the purpose of this
10Act is to protect patients with debilitating medical
11conditions, as well as their physicians and providers, from
12arrest and prosecution, criminal and other penalties, and
13property forfeiture if the patients engage in the medical use
14of cannabis.
 
15    Section 10. Definitions. The following terms, as used in
16this Act, shall have the meanings set forth in this Section:

25    ounces is an insufficient adequate supply for a 14-day

7reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
8on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
9imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
10increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
11under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
12shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
13on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
14the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
15domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
16and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign

09800HB0001ham001- 86 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1        credits allowed under this Act, plus

3        Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance company
4        tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire Investigation
5        Act, and the fire department taxes imposed under

09800HB0001ham001- 87 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
2    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
3    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
4    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
5    property placed in service during the taxable year,
6    provided such property is placed in service on or after
7    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
8    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
9    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
10    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
11    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
12    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
13    which they file employment records with the Illinois
14    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
15    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
16    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
17    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
18    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
19    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
20    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
21    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
22    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
23    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
24    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
25    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
26    other than the year in which the property was placed in

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 88 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
2    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
3    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
4    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
5    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
6    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
7    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
8    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
9    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
10    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
11    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
12    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
13    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
14    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
15    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
16    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
17    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
18    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
19    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
20    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
21    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
22    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
23    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
24    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
25    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
26    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 89 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
2    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
3    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
4    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
5    shall be applied first.
6        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
7    which:
8            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
9        buildings and structural components of buildings and
10        signs that are real property, but not including land or
11        improvements to real property that are not a structural
12        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
13        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
14        other appurtenances;
15            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
16        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
17        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
18        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
19        (e);
20            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
21        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
22            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
23        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
24        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
25        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
26        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 90 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
2            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
3        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
4        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
5        subsection (f).
6        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
7    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
8    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
9    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
10    assembling which changes some existing material into new
11    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
12    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
13    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
14    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
15    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
16    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
17    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
18    personal property for use or consumption and not for
19    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
20    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
21    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
22    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
23    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
24    electricity.
25        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
26    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 91 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    income tax purposes.
2        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
3    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
4    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
5    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
6    date of such increase in basis.
7        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
8    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
9        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
10    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
11    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
12    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
13    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
14    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
15    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
16    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
17    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
18    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
19    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
20    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
21    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
22    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
23    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
24    property to the extent of such reduction.
25        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
26    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 92 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
2    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
3    December 31, 2018.
4        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
5    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
6    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
7    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
8    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
9    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
10    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
11    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
12    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
13    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
14    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
15    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
16    taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
17    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
18    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
19    shall be irrevocable.
20        For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
21    a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
22    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
23    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
24    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of

26    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 93 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
2    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
3    corporation, determined in accordance with the
4    determination of income and distributive share of income
5    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
6    Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
7    of Section 250.
8    (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge
9Redevelopment Zone.
10        (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
11    tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
12    investment in qualified property which is placed in service
13    in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
14    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
15    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
16    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
17    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
18    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
19    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
20    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
21    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
22    determined in accordance with the determination of income
23    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
24    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
25    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
26    shall be available only in the taxable year in which the

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 94 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
2    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
3    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
4    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
5    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
6    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
7    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
8    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
9    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
10    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
11    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
12    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
13    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
14    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
15    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
16    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
17        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
18            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
19        buildings and structural components of buildings;
20            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
21        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
22        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
23        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
24        (f);
25            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
26        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 95 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
2        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
3            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
4        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
5        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
6        subsection (e).
7        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
8    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
9    income tax purposes.
10        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
11    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
12    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
13    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
14    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
15    date of such increase in basis.
16        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
17    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
18        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
19    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
20    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
21    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
22    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
23    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
24    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
25    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
26    recomputing the investment credit which would have been

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 96 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
2    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
3    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
4    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
5    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
6    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
7    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
8    property to the extent of such reduction.
9        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
10    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
11    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
12    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
13    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
14    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
15    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
16    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
17    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
18    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
19    employment for the first year in which they file employment
20    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
21    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
22    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
23    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
24    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
25    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

11        (h);
12            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
13        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and

16        Section.
17        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
18    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
19    income tax purposes.
20        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
21    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
22    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
23    Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
24    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
25    the date of such increase in basis.
26        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 102 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
2        (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
3    December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
4    property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
5    after being placed in service, or the situs of any
6    qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
7    months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
8    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
9    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
10    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
11    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
12    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
13    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
14    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
15    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
16    basis of qualified property resulting from a
17    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
18    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
19    reduction.
20        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
21    1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this

1    for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
2    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
3    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
4    (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
5Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
6shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
7(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
8(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
9multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
10Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
11allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
12base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
13rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.

15subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
16because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
17and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original

22year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
23applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
24liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
25than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
26earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied

1first.
2    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
31986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
4Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
5subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
6shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
7recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
8imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
9reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
10taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
11year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
12    (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
13ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,

4Internal Revenue Code.
5    Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
6the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
7the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
8first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
9first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
10there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
11year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
12credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
13carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
14after December 31, 2003.

1federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
2credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance
3with the determination of income and distributive share of

7means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
8credit for increasing research activities which would be
9allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
10which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
11increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
12of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
13incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
14"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
15of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
16period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
17preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
18made.
19    Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
20year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
21unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
22as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
23taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
24first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
25prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
26ending on or after December 31, 2003.

1    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
22 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
3year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
4given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
5remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
6applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
7liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
8credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
9following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
10that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
11than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
12credit is given was incurred.

25    Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
26    paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 108 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
2    Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
3    Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
4    for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
5    eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
6    available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
7    party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
8    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
9    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
10    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
11    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
12    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
13    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
14    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
15    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
16    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
17    those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
18    includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
19    succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
20    and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
21    deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
22    Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being
23    a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
24    credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
25    and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
26    remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 109 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
2    contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
3    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
4    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
5    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
6    a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
7    shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
8    allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
9    accordance with the determination of income and
10    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
11    subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
12        (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is

12        movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause
13        for the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
14        restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may,

11    Sec. 6-206.1. Monitoring Device Driving Permit.
12Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the
13State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol,
14other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a
15threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to provide
16a deterrent to such practice, a statutory summary driver's
17license suspension is appropriate. It is also recognized that
18driving is a privilege and therefore, that the granting of
19driving privileges, in a manner consistent with public safety,
20is warranted during the period of suspension in the form of a
21monitoring device driving permit. A person who drives and fails
22to comply with the requirements of the monitoring device
23driving permit commits a violation of Section 6-303 of this
24Code.
25    The following procedures shall apply whenever a first

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 159 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

2arrested for any offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a
3similar provision of a local ordinance and is subject to the
4provisions of Section 11-501.1:
5    (a) Upon mailing of the notice of suspension of driving
6privileges as provided in subsection (h) of Section 11-501.1 of
7this Code, the Secretary shall also send written notice
8informing the person that he or she will be issued a monitoring
9device driving permit (MDDP). The notice shall include, at
10minimum, information summarizing the procedure to be followed
11for issuance of the MDDP, installation of the breath alcohol
12ignition installation device (BAIID), as provided in this
13Section, exemption from BAIID installation requirements, and
14procedures to be followed by those seeking indigent status, as
15provided in this Section. The notice shall also include
16information summarizing the procedure to be followed if the
17person wishes to decline issuance of the MDDP. A copy of the
18notice shall also be sent to the court of venue together with
19the notice of suspension of driving privileges, as provided in
20subsection (h) of Section 11-501. However, a MDDP shall not be
21issued if the Secretary finds that:
22        (1) The offender's driver's license is otherwise
23    invalid;
24        (2) Death or great bodily harm resulted from the arrest
25    for Section 11-501;
26        (3) The offender has been previously convicted of

12Secretary a MDDP Administration Fee in an amount not to exceed
13$30 per month, to be deposited into the Monitoring Device
14Driving Permit Administration Fee Fund. The Secretary shall
15establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and
16conditions relating to these fees. The offender must have an
17ignition interlock device installed within 14 days of the date
18the Secretary issues the MDDP. The ignition interlock device
19provider must notify the Secretary, in a manner and form
20prescribed by the Secretary, of the installation. If the
21Secretary does not receive notice of installation, the
22Secretary shall cancel the MDDP.

1consent.
2    (a) Any person who drives or is in actual physical control
3of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State shall
4be deemed to have given consent, subject to the provisions of
5Section 11-501.2, to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath,
6or urine for the purpose of determining the content of alcohol,
7other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds or
8any combination thereof in the person's blood if arrested, as
9evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket, for any
10offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar provision of
11a local ordinance, or if arrested for violating Section 11-401.
12If a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe the
13person was under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
14intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination
15thereof, the law enforcement officer shall request a chemical
16test or tests which shall be administered at the direction of
17the arresting officer. The law enforcement agency employing the
18officer shall designate which of the aforesaid tests shall be
19administered. A urine test may be administered even after a
20blood or breath test or both has been administered. For
21purposes of this Section, an Illinois law enforcement officer
22of this State who is investigating the person for any offense
23defined in Section 11-501 may travel into an adjoining state,
24where the person has been transported for medical care, to
25complete an investigation and to request that the person submit
26to the test or tests set forth in this Section. The

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 196 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1requirements of this Section that the person be arrested are
2inapplicable, but the officer shall issue the person a Uniform
3Traffic Ticket for an offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a
4similar provision of a local ordinance prior to requesting that
5the person submit to the test or tests. The issuance of the
6Uniform Traffic Ticket shall not constitute an arrest, but
7shall be for the purpose of notifying the person that he or she
8is subject to the provisions of this Section and of the
9officer's belief of the existence of probable cause to arrest.
10Upon returning to this State, the officer shall file the
11Uniform Traffic Ticket with the Circuit Clerk of the county
12where the offense was committed, and shall seek the issuance of
13an arrest warrant or a summons for the person.
14    (a-5) In addition to the requirements and provisions of
15subsection (a), any person issued a registry card under the
16Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act who
17drives or is in actual physical control of a motor vehicle upon
18the public highways of this State shall be deemed to have given
19consent, subject to the provisions of Section 11-501.2, to
20standardized field sobriety tests approved by the National
21Highway Traffic Safety Administration if arrested, as
22evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket, for any
23offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar provision of
24a local ordinance, or if arrested for violating Section 11-401.
25The person's status as a registry card holder alone is not a
26sufficient basis for conducting these tests. The officer must

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 197 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1have an independent, cannabis-related factual basis giving
2reasonable suspicion that the person is driving under the
3influence of cannabis for conducting standardized field
4sobriety tests. This independent basis of suspicion shall be
5listed on the standardized field sobriety test results and any
6influence reports made by the arresting officer.
7    (b) Any person who is dead, unconscious, or who is
8otherwise in a condition rendering the person incapable of
9refusal, shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent
10provided by paragraph (a) of this Section and the test or tests
11may be administered, subject to the provisions of Section
1211-501.2.
13    (c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
14above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer requesting
15the test that a refusal to submit to the test will result in
16the statutory summary suspension of the person's privilege to
17operate a motor vehicle, as provided in Section 6-208.1 of this
18Code, and will also result in the disqualification of the
19person's privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle, as
20provided in Section 6-514 of this Code, if the person is a CDL
21holder. The person shall also be warned that a refusal to
22submit to the test, when the person was involved in a motor
23vehicle accident that caused personal injury or death to
24another, will result in the statutory summary revocation of the
25person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle, as provided in
26Section 6-208.1, and will also result in the disqualification

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 198 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1of the person's privilege to operate a commercial motor
2vehicle, as provided in Section 6-514 of this Code, if the
3person is a CDL holder. The person shall also be warned by the
4law enforcement officer that if the person submits to the test
5or tests provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and the
6alcohol concentration in the person's blood or breath is 0.08
7or greater, or any amount of a drug, substance, or compound
8resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis as
9covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance
10listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an
11intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
12Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the
13Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act is
14detected in the person's blood or urine, or if the person fails
15the standardized field sobriety tests as required by paragraph
16(a-5), a statutory summary suspension of the person's privilege
17to operate a motor vehicle, as provided in Sections 6-208.1 and
1811-501.1 of this Code, and a disqualification of the person's
19privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle, as provided in
20Section 6-514 of this Code, if the person is a CDL holder, will
21be imposed.
22    A person who is under the age of 21 at the time the person
23is requested to submit to a test as provided above shall, in
24addition to the warnings provided for in this Section, be
25further warned by the law enforcement officer requesting the
26test that if the person submits to the test or tests provided

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 199 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1in paragraph (a) or (a-5) of this Section and the alcohol
2concentration in the person's blood or breath is greater than
30.00 and less than 0.08, a suspension of the person's privilege
4to operate a motor vehicle, as provided under Sections 6-208.2
5and 11-501.8 of this Code, will be imposed. The results of this
6test shall be admissible in a civil or criminal action or
7proceeding arising from an arrest for an offense as defined in
8Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
9ordinance or pursuant to Section 11-501.4 in prosecutions for
10reckless homicide brought under the Criminal Code of 1961 or
11the Criminal Code of 2012. These test results, however, shall
12be admissible only in actions or proceedings directly related
13to the incident upon which the test request was made.
14    (d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that
15discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or any
16amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound in the
17person's breath, blood, or urine resulting from the unlawful
18use or consumption of cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control
19Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
20Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of
21Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the
22Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, the law
23enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to
24the circuit court of venue and the Secretary of State,
25certifying that the test or tests was or were requested under
26paragraph (a) or (a-5) and the person refused to submit to a

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 200 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1test, or tests, or submitted to testing that disclosed an
2alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more. A sworn report
3indicating refusal or failure of testing under paragraph (a-5)
4of this Section shall include the factual basis of the
5arresting officer's reasonable suspicion that the person was
6under the influence of cannabis. The person's possession of a
7valid registry card under the Compassionate Use of Medical
8Cannabis Pilot Program Act alone is not sufficient basis for
9reasonable suspicion.
10    (e) Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
11officer submitted under paragraph (d), the Secretary of State
12shall enter the statutory summary suspension or revocation and
13disqualification for the periods specified in Sections 6-208.1
14and 6-514, respectively, and effective as provided in paragraph
15(g).
16    If the person is a first offender as defined in Section
1711-500 of this Code, and is not convicted of a violation of
18Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
19ordinance, then reports received by the Secretary of State
20under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
21Statutory Summary Suspension is in effect, be privileged
22information and for use only by the courts, police officers,
23prosecuting authorities or the Secretary of State, unless the
24person is a CDL holder, is operating a commercial motor vehicle
25or vehicle required to be placarded for hazardous materials, in
26which case the suspension shall not be privileged. Reports

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 201 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall
2also be made available to the parent or guardian of a person
3under the age of 18 years that holds an instruction permit or a
4graduated driver's license, regardless of whether the
5statutory summary suspension is in effect. A statutory summary
6revocation shall not be privileged information.
7    (f) The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
8under paragraph (d) shall serve immediate notice of the
9statutory summary suspension or revocation on the person and
10the suspension or revocation and disqualification shall be
11effective as provided in paragraph (g).
12        (1) In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of
13    0.08 or greater or any amount of a drug, substance, or
14    compound resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
15    cannabis as covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a
16    controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
17    Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use
18    of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as
19    listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community
20    Protection Act is established by a subsequent analysis of

22    arresting officer or arresting agency shall give notice as
23    provided in this Section or by deposit in the United States
24    mail of the notice in an envelope with postage prepaid and
25    addressed to the person at his address as shown on the
26    Uniform Traffic Ticket and the statutory summary

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 202 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    suspension and disqualification shall begin as provided in
2    paragraph (g). The officer shall confiscate any Illinois
3    driver's license or permit on the person at the time of
4    arrest. If the person has a valid driver's license or
5    permit, the officer shall issue the person a receipt, in a
6    form prescribed by the Secretary of State, that will allow
7    that person to drive during the periods provided for in
8    paragraph (g). The officer shall immediately forward the
9    driver's license or permit to the circuit court of venue
10    along with the sworn report provided for in paragraph (d).
11        (2) In cases indicating refusal or failure of testing
12    under paragraph (a-5) of this Section the arresting officer

18    disqualification shall begin as provided in paragraph (g).
19    This notice shall include the factual basis of the
20    arresting officer's reasonable suspicion that the person
21    was under the influence of cannabis. The person's
22    possession of a valid registry card under the Compassionate
23    Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act alone is not
24    sufficient basis for reasonable suspicion.
25    (g) The statutory summary suspension or revocation and
26disqualification referred to in this Section shall take effect

9effective date of the suspension or revocation to the person
10and the court of venue. The Secretary of State shall also mail
11notice of the effective date of the disqualification to the
12person. However, should the sworn report be defective by not
13containing sufficient information or be completed in error, the

10    or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement
11    officer.
12        4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a

1are divided attention tasks that are intended to determine if a
2person is under the influence of cannabis. The purpose of these
3tests is to determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a
4person's capacity to think and act with ordinary care and
5therefore operate a motor vehicle safely. Therefore, the
6results of these standardized field sobriety tests,
7appropriately administered, shall be admissible in the trial of
8any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of an
9arrest for a cannabis-related offense as defined in Section
1011-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings under
11Section 2-118.1. Where a test is made the following provisions
12shall apply:
13        1. The person tested may have a physician, or a
14    qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
15    qualified person of their own choosing administer a
16    chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized
17    field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction
18    of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to
19    obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude the
20    admission of evidence relating to the test or tests taken
21    at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
22        2. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a
23    standardized field sobriety test or tests at the request of
24    a law enforcement officer, full information concerning the
25    test or tests shall be made available to the person or the
26    person's attorney.

2    proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as
3    defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or
4    proceedings under Section 2-118.1 in which the results of
5    these standardized field sobriety tests are admitted, the
6    cardholder may present and the trier of fact may consider
7    evidence that the card holder lacked the physical capacity
8    to perform the standardized field sobriety tests.
9    (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
10proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
11by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
12vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the concentration
13of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at the time alleged
14as shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or
15other bodily substance shall give rise to the following
16presumptions:
17        1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
18    of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
19    not under the influence of alcohol.
20        2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
21    in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not
22    give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not
23    under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be
24    considered with other competent evidence in determining
25    whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
26        3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration

 

 

09800HB0001ham001- 209 -LRB098 02716 RLC 41653 a

1    of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was
2    under the influence of alcohol.
3        4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
4    be construed as limiting the introduction of any other
5    relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the
6    person was under the influence of alcohol.
7    (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
8chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
9evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or
10criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to
11have been committed while the person under the influence of
12alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
13compounds, or any combination thereof was driving or in actual
14physical control of a motor vehicle.
15    2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code to
16submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
17consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
18probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle driven by or in
19actual physical control of a person under the influence of
20alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
21compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or
22personal injury to another, the law enforcement officer shall
23request, and that person shall submit, upon the request of a
24law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
25her blood, breath or urine for the purpose of determining the
26alcohol content thereof or the presence of any other drug or

2    This provision does not affect the applicability of or
3imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section
411-501.1 of this Code.
5    3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury includes
6any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic accident report
7completed by a law enforcement officer that requires immediate
8professional attention in either a doctor's office or a medical
9facility. A Type A injury includes severe bleeding wounds,
