29    utilizing facilities operated by the Department for occupancy

15        Sec. 9-195.  Leasing of exempt property.
16        (a)  Except  as provided in Sections 15-35, 15-55, 15-60,
17    15-100, and 15-103, and 15-185, when property which is exempt
18    from taxation is leased to  another  whose  property  is  not
19    exempt,  and  the leasing of which does not make the property
20    taxable, the leasehold estate and the appurtenances shall  be
21    listed  as  the property of the lessee thereof, or his or her
22    assignee. Taxes on that property shall be  collected  in  the
23    same manner as on property that is not exempt, and the lessee
24    shall  be liable for those taxes.  However, no tax lien shall
25    attach to the exempt real estate. The changes  made  by  this
26    amendatory Act of 1997 and by this amendatory Act of the 91st
27    General  Assembly  are  declaratory of existing law and shall
28    not be construed as a new enactment.   The  changes  made  by

19    the  taxes  thereon  extended  and  billed to the lessee, and
20    collected in the same manner as for  property  which  is  not
21    exempt.  The lessee shall be liable for the taxes and no lien
22    shall attach to the property of the State.
23        For the purposes  of  this  Section,  the  word  "leases"
24    includes licenses, franchises, operating agreements and other
25    arrangements under which private individuals, associations or
26    corporations  are  granted  the  right to use property of the
27    Illinois  State  Toll  Highway  Authority  and  includes  all
28    property of the Authority used by others  without  regard  to
