1    AN ACT concerning civil law.
 
2    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
 
4    Section 5. The Principal and Income Act is amended by
5changing Sections 10 and 15 as follows:
 
6    (760 ILCS 15/10)  (from Ch. 30, par. 510)
7    Sec. 10. Disposition of natural resources.
8    (a) If any part of the principal consists of a right to
9receive royalties, overriding or limited royalties, working
10interests, production payments, net profit interests, or other
11interest in minerals, oil, gas or other natural resources in,
12on or under land, except timber, water, soil, sod, dirt, peat,
13turf or mosses, the receipts from taking the natural resources
14from the land shall be allocated as follows:
15        (1) if received as rent on a lease or extension
16    payments on a lease, the receipts are income;
17        (2) if received from a production payment, the receipts
18    are income to the extent of any factor for interest or its
19    equivalent provided in the governing instrument. There
20    shall be allocated to principal the fraction of the balance
21    of the receipts which the unrecovered cost of the
22    production payment bears to the balance owed on the
23    production payment, exclusive of any factor for interest or

1    its equivalent. The receipts not allocated to principal are
2    income;
3        (3) except for oil or gas from non-coal formations, if
4    received as a royalty, overriding or limited royalty, or
5    bonus, or from a working, net profit, or any other interest
6    in minerals, oil, gas, or other natural resources, receipts
7    not provided for in the preceding paragraphs of this
8    Section shall be apportioned on a yearly basis in
9    accordance with this paragraph whether or not any natural
10    resource was being taken from the land at the time the
11    trust was established. The trustee shall allocate to
12    principal as an allowance for depletion the greater of (i)
13    that portion, if any, of the gross receipts that is allowed
14    as a depletion deduction for federal income tax purposes
15    and (ii) 10% of the gross receipts, except that that
16    allocation shall not exceed 50% of the net receipts
17    remaining after payment of all expenses, direct and
18    indirect, computed without the allowance for depletion.
19    The trustee shall allocate the balance of the gross
20    receipts, after payment therefrom of all expenses, direct
21    and indirect, to income; .
22        (4) with respect only to nontrust estates described in
23    Section 15 of this Act, for oil or gas from non-coal
24    formations, proceeds from the sale of such minerals
25    produced and received as royalty, overriding royalty,
26    limited royalty, working interest, net profit interest,

1    time-limited interest or term interest, or lease bonus
2    shall be deemed income.
3    (b) If an item of depletable property of a type specified
4in this Section is held on the effective date of this Act,
5receipts from the property shall be allocated in the manner
6used before the effective date of this Act, but as to all
7depletable property acquired after the effective date of this
8Act by an existing or new trust, the method of allocation
9provided herein shall be used.
10    (c) If any part of the principal consists of timber, water,
11soil, sod, dirt, peat, turf, or mosses, the receipts from those
12resources shall be allocated in accordance with Section 3.

15    Sec. 15. Non-trust estates.
16    (a) The provisions of this Act, as far as applicable, shall
17apply to nontrust estates subject to any agreement of the
18parties or any specific direction by statute or otherwise, and
19the references to trusts and trustees shall be read as applying
20to nontrust estates and to legal tenants (including life
21tenants, tenants for terms of years, or any other period of
22tenancy) and remaindermen as the context requires; except that
23if either a legal tenant or a remainderman has incurred a
24charge for his benefit without the consent or agreement of the
25other, he shall pay that charge in full.

1    (b) If the costs of an improvement, including special taxes
2or assessments, representing an addition to value of property
3forming part of the principal cannot reasonably be expected to
4outlast the legal tenancy, the costs shall be paid by the legal
5tenant. If the improvement can reasonably be expected to
6outlast the legal tenancy, only a portion of the costs shall be
7paid by the legal tenant and the balance by the remainderman.
8The portion payable by the legal tenant shall be that fraction
9of the total found by dividing the present value of the legal
10tenancy by the present value of an estate of the same form as
11that of the legal tenancy but limited to a period corresponding
12to the reasonably expected duration of the improvement. The
13computation of present value of the legal tenancy shall be
14computed on the basis of two-thirds of the value determined by
15use of the tables set forth under Section 7520 of the Internal
16Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations thereunder for the
17calculation of the values of annuities, life estates, and terms
18for years, and no other evidence of duration or expectancy
19shall be considered, except that any legal tenancy or remainder
20interest acquired for consideration based on those tables shall
21be computed on the basis of the tables in effect at the time
22acquired. The method of computing the present value of a legal
23tenancy established in this subsection shall apply to all legal
24tenancies and remainders created after January 1, 1992 and to
25all legal tenancies and remainders which were acquired for
26consideration if the amount of the consideration was based on

 

 

HB1542 Enrolled- 5 -LRB100 03404 HEP 13409 b

1the tables set forth under Section 2031 or 7520 of the Internal
2Revenue Code then in effect.
3    (c) If a legal tenant has leased any lands for agricultural
4or farming operations and his legal tenancy terminates on or
5after the day any rent has become due and payable, he or his
6representative is entitled to recover that rent from the
7lessee; and if a legal tenancy terminates before the rent under
8the lease is fully paid, the legal tenant or his representative
9is entitled to recover from the lessee:
10        (1) that portion of the rent not due which the number
11    of days from the beginning of the period for which the rent
12    is not due to the date of the termination of the legal
13    tenancy bears to the total number of days in the period for
14    which the rent is unpaid; and
15        (2) that portion of the landlord's share of actual
16    expenses paid before the termination of the legal tenancy
17    and not previously recovered by him, which the number of
18    days in the lease period on and after the termination bears
19    to the total number of days in the lease period.
20    (d) This Section does not apply to life estates and
21remainder interests in oil or gas from non-coal formations, or
22royalties or overriding royalties created under leases of such
23minerals.
