17             tax return for the taxable year for  federal  income
18             tax  purposes,  taxable income determined as if such
19             corporation had filed a separate return for  federal
20             income  tax  purposes  for the taxable year and each
21             preceding taxable year for which it was a member  of
22             an   affiliated   group.   For   purposes   of  this
23             subparagraph, the taxpayer's separate taxable income
24             shall be determined as if the election  provided  by
25             Section  243(b) (2) of the Internal Revenue Code had
26             been in effect for all such years;

 3             accordance with  Section  1363(b)  of  the  Internal
 4             Revenue  Code, except that taxable income shall take
 5             into account  those  items  which  are  required  by
 6             Section  1363(b)(1)  of the Internal Revenue Code to
 7             be  separately  stated;  and  (ii)  a  Subchapter  S
 8             corporation for which there is in effect  a  federal
 9             election  to  opt  out  of  the  provisions  of  the
10             Subchapter  S  Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
11             instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules  as  in
12             effect  on  July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
13             corporation  determined  in  accordance   with   the

15             1982; and
16                  (H)  Partnerships.    In   the   case   of    a
17             partnership, taxable income determined in accordance
18             with  Section  703  of  the  Internal  Revenue Code,
19             except that taxable income shall take  into  account
20             those  items which are required by Section 703(a)(1)
21             to be separately stated but  which  would  be  taken
22             into  account  by  an  individual in calculating his
23             taxable income.

24        (f)  Valuation limitation amount.
25             (1)  In general.  The  valuation  limitation  amount
26        referred  to  in subsections (a) (2) (G), (c) (2) (I) and
27        (d)(2) (E) is an amount equal to:
28                  (A)  The  sum  of  the   pre-August   1,   1969
29             appreciation  amounts  (to  the extent consisting of
30             gain reportable under the provisions of Section 1245
31             or 1250  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code)  for  all
32             property  in respect of which such gain was reported
33             for the taxable year; plus
34                  (B)  The  lesser  of  (i)  the   sum   of   the
 
HB1120 Enrolled             -26-              LRB9100524PTpkA
 1             pre-August  1,  1969  appreciation  amounts  (to the
 2             extent consisting of capital gain) for all  property
 3             in  respect  of  which  such  gain  was reported for
 4             federal income tax purposes for the taxable year, or
 5             (ii) the net capital  gain  for  the  taxable  year,
 6             reduced  in  either  case by any amount of such gain
 7             included in the amount determined  under  subsection
 8             (a) (2) (F) or (c) (2) (H).
 9        (2)  Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
10                  (A)  If  the  fair  market  value  of  property
11             referred   to   in   paragraph   (1)   was   readily
12             ascertainable  on  August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1,
13             1969 appreciation amount for such  property  is  the
14             lesser  of  (i) the excess of such fair market value
15             over the taxpayer's basis (for determining gain) for
16             such property on that  date  (determined  under  the
17             Internal Revenue Code as in effect on that date), or
18             (ii)  the  total  gain  realized  and reportable for
19             federal income tax purposes in respect of the  sale,
20             exchange or other disposition of such property.
21                  (B)  If  the  fair  market  value  of  property
22             referred   to  in  paragraph  (1)  was  not  readily
23             ascertainable on August 1, 1969, the  pre-August  1,
24             1969  appreciation  amount for such property is that
25             amount which bears the same ratio to the total  gain
26             reported  in  respect  of  the  property for federal
27             income tax purposes for the  taxable  year,  as  the
28             number  of  full calendar months in that part of the
29             taxpayer's holding period for  the  property  ending
30             July  31,  1969 bears to the number of full calendar
31             months in the taxpayer's entire holding  period  for
32             the property.
33                  (C)  The   Department   shall   prescribe  such
34             regulations as may be necessary  to  carry  out  the

 1             purposes of this paragraph.

 2        (g)  Double  deductions.   Unless  specifically  provided
 3    otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
 4    to be deducted more than once.

 5        (h)  Legislative intention.  Except as expressly provided
 6    by   this   Section   there  shall  be  no  modifications  or
 7    limitations on the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction
 8    taken into account  in  determining  gross  income,  adjusted
 9    gross  income  or  taxable  income  for  federal  income  tax
10    purposes for the taxable year, or in the amount of such items
11    entering  into  the computation of base income and net income
12    under this Act for such taxable year, whether in  respect  of
13    property values as of August 1, 1969 or otherwise.

18        Section 10.  The Illinois Public Aid Code is  amended  by
19    changing  Sections  3-1.2,  3-5, 4-1.6, 4-2, 5-2, 5-4, 6-1.2,
20    and 6-2 as follows:

21        (305 ILCS 5/3-1.2) (from Ch. 23, par. 3-1.2)
22        Sec. 3-1.2.  Need.  Income available to the person,  when
23    added  to contributions in money, substance, or services from
24    other   sources,   including   contributions   from   legally
25    responsible relatives, must  be  insufficient  to  equal  the
26    grant  amount  established  by Department regulation for such
27    person.
28        In determining earned income to be  taken  into  account,
29    consideration  shall  be  given  to  any  expenses reasonably
30    attributable to the earning of such income. If federal law or
31    regulations permit or require exemption of  earned  or  other
 
HB1120 Enrolled             -28-              LRB9100524PTpkA
 1    income  and  resources, the Illinois Department shall provide
 2    by rule and regulation  that  the  amount  of  income  to  be
 3    disregarded  be  increased  (1)  to  the  maximum  extent  so
 4    required  and  (2) to the maximum extent permitted by federal
 5    law or regulation in effect as of the  date  this  Amendatory
 6    Act  becomes law. The Illinois Department may also provide by
 7    rule and regulation  that  the  amount  of  resources  to  be
 8    disregarded  be  increased to the maximum extent so permitted
 9    or required.
10        In determining the resources  of  an  individual  or  any
11    dependents,  the  Department shall exclude from consideration
12    the value of funeral and burial  spaces,  grave  markers  and
13    other  funeral  and  burial  merchandise,  funeral and burial
14    insurance the proceeds of which can only be used to  pay  the
15    funeral   and  burial  expenses  of  the  insured  and  funds
16    specifically  set  aside   for   the   funeral   and   burial
17    arrangements  of  the  individual  or  his or her dependents,
18    including prepaid funeral  and  burial  plans,  to  the  same
19    extent  that such items are excluded from consideration under
20    the federal Supplemental Security Income program.
21        The homestead shall be exempt from  consideration  except
22    to  the  extent that it meets the income and shelter needs of
23    the  person.  "Homestead"  means  the  dwelling   house   and
24    contiguous  real  estate  owned  and  occupied by the person,
25    regardless of its value.
26        Occasional or irregular gifts in cash, goods or  services
27    from  persons who are not legally responsible relatives which
28    are of nominal value or which do not have significant  effect
29    in  meeting essential requirements shall be disregarded.  The
30    eligibility of any applicant for or recipient of  public  aid
31    under  this  Article  is  not  affected by the payment of any
32    grant  under  the  "Senior  Citizens  and  Disabled   Persons
33    Property Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act" or any
34    distributions or items of income described under subparagraph
 
HB1120 Enrolled             -29-              LRB9100524PTpkA
 1    (X)  of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of the
 2    Illinois Income Tax Act.
 3        The   Illinois   Department   may,   after    appropriate
 4    investigation,   establish   and   implement  a  consolidated
 5    standard to determine need and eligibility for and amount  of
 6    benefits  under  this Article or a uniform cash supplement to
 7    the federal Supplemental Security Income program for  all  or
 8    any  part  of the then current recipients under this Article;
 9    provided, however, that the establishment  or  implementation
10    of  such  a  standard  or  supplement  shall  not  result  in
11    reductions  in  benefits  under  this  Article  for  the then
12    current recipients of such benefits.

14        (305 ILCS 5/3-5) (from Ch. 23, par. 3-5)
15        Sec. 3-5. Amount  of  aid.   The  amount  and  nature  of
16    financial  aid  granted  to  or  in behalf of aged, blind, or
17    disabled persons shall be determined in accordance  with  the
18    standards,  grant  amounts,  rules  and  regulations  of  the
19    Illinois  Department.  Due  regard  shall  be  given  to  the
20    requirements and conditions existing in each case, and to the
21    amount of property owned and the income, money contributions,
22    and  other  support,  and resources received or obtainable by
23    the person, from whatever source.  However,  the  amount  and
24    nature of any financial aid is not affected by the payment of
25    any  grant  under  the  "Senior Citizens and Disabled Persons
26    Property Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act" or any
27    distributions or items of income described under subparagraph
28    (X) of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of  the
29    Illinois  Income  Tax  Act. The aid shall be sufficient, when
30    added to all other income, money contributions  and  support,
31    to  provide the person with a grant in the amount established
32    by Department  regulation  for  such  a  person,  based  upon
33    standards  providing  a livelihood compatible with health and

 3        (305 ILCS 5/4-1.6) (from Ch. 23, par. 4-1.6)
 4        Sec. 4-1.6. Need.  Income  available  to  the  family  as
 5    defined  by  the Illinois Department by rule, or to the child
 6    in the case of a child removed from his  or  her  home,  when
 7    added  to  contributions in money, substance or services from
 8    other sources, including income available from parents absent
 9    from the home or from a stepparent,  contributions  made  for
10    the  benefit  of  the  parent  or  other persons necessary to
11    provide care and supervision to the child, and  contributions
12    from  legally  responsible relatives, must be insufficient to
13    equal the grant amount established by  Department  regulation
14    for such a person.
15        In   considering   income   to  be  taken  into  account,
16    consideration shall  be  given  to  any  expenses  reasonably
17    attributable  to  the  earning  of  such income. The Illinois
18    Department may also, subject to such limitations  as  may  be
19    prescribed  by  federal  law or regulation, permit all or any
20    portion of earned or other income to be  set  aside  for  the
21    future  identifiable  needs  of  a  child.  If federal law or
22    regulations permit or require exemption of  other  income  of
23    recipients,  the  Illinois Department may provide by rule and
24    regulation for the exemptions  thus  permitted  or  required.
25    The  eligibility  of any applicant for or recipient of public
26    aid under this Article is not affected by the payment of  any
27    grant   under  the  "Senior  Citizens  and  Disabled  Persons
28    Property Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act" or any
29    distributions or items of income described under subparagraph
30    (X) of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of  the
31    Illinois Income Tax Act.
32        The  Illinois Department may, by rule, set forth criteria

 5        Sec. 4-2.  Amount of aid.
 6        (a)  The  amount  and  nature  of  financial aid shall be
 7    determined in accordance with the grant  amounts,  rules  and
 8    regulations  of  the Illinois Department. Due regard shall be
 9    given to the self-sufficiency requirements of the family  and
10    to  the  income,  money  contributions  and other support and
11    resources available, from whatever source.  Beginning July 1,
12    1992, the supplementary grants  previously  paid  under  this
13    Section  shall  no  longer be paid.   However, the amount and
14    nature of any financial aid is not affected by the payment of
15    any grant under the "Senior  Citizens  and  Disabled  Persons
16    Property Tax Relief and Pharmaceutical Assistance Act" or any
17    distributions or items of income described under subparagraph
18    (X)  of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of the
19    Illinois Income Tax Act. The aid shall  be  sufficient,  when
20    added to all other income, money contributions and support to
21    provide  the family with a grant in the amount established by
22    Department regulation.
23        (b)  The  Illinois   Department   may   conduct   special
24    projects,  which  may  be  known as Grant Diversion Projects,
25    under which recipients of financial aid  under  this  Article
26    are  placed  in  jobs  and  their  grants are diverted to the
27    employer who in turn makes payments to the recipients in  the
28    form  of  salary  or other employment benefits.  The Illinois
29    Department shall by rule specify the terms and conditions  of
30    such Grant Diversion Projects.  Such projects shall take into
31    consideration   and   be   coordinated   with   the  programs
32    administered  under   the   Illinois   Emergency   Employment
33    Development Act.

 1        (c)  The  amount  and  nature  of the financial aid for a
 2    child requiring care outside his own home shall be determined
 3    in accordance with the rules and regulations of the  Illinois
 4    Department,  with due regard to the needs and requirements of
 5    the child in the foster home or institution in which  he  has
 6    been placed.
 7        (d)  If  the  Department  establishes  grants  for family
 8    units consisting exclusively of  a  pregnant  woman  with  no
 9    dependent  child or including her husband if living with her,
10    the grant amount for such a unit shall be equal to the  grant
11    amount  for  an assistance unit consisting of one adult, or 2
12    persons if the husband is included.   Other  than  as  herein
13    described,   an   unborn   child  shall  not  be  counted  in
14    determining the size of an assistance unit or for calculating
15    grants.
16        Payments for basic maintenance requirements of a child or
17    children and the relative with whom the child or children are
18    living  shall  be  prescribed,  by  rule,  by  the   Illinois
19    Department.
20    These grants may be increased in the following circumstances:
21             1.  If the child is living with both parents or with
22        persons  standing  in the relationship of parents, and if
23        the grant is necessitated because of the unemployment  or
24        insufficient  earnings  of  the  parent  or  parents  and
25        neither   parent   is   receiving   benefits  under  "The
26        Unemployment Compensation Act", approved June  30,  1937,
27        as amended, the maximum may be increased by not more than

 1        Grants under this Article shall not  be  supplemented  by
 2    General Assistance provided under Article VI.
 3        (e)  Grants  shall  be paid to the parent or other person
 4    with whom the child or children are living, except  for  such
 5    amount  as  is  paid  in behalf of the child or his parent or
 6    other relative to other persons or agencies pursuant to  this
 7    Code or the rules and regulations of the Illinois Department.
 8        (f)  An  assistance  unit,  receiving financial aid under
 9    this Article or temporarily ineligible to receive  aid  under
10    this   Article  under  a  penalty  imposed  by  the  Illinois
11    Department  for  failure  to  comply  with  the   eligibility
12    requirements  or  that  voluntarily  requests  termination of
13    financial  assistance  under   this   Article   and   becomes
14    subsequently  eligible  for assistance within 9 months, shall
15    not receive any increase in  the  amount  of  aid  solely  on
16    account  of  the birth of a child; except that an increase is
17    not prohibited when the birth is (i) of a child of a pregnant
18    woman who became eligible for aid under this  Article  during
19    the pregnancy, or (ii) of a child born within 10 months after
20    the date of implementation of this subsection, or  (iii) of a
21    child   conceived   after  a  family  became  ineligible  for
22    assistance due to income or marriage and at least 3 months of
23    ineligibility   expired   before   any   reapplication    for
24    assistance.   This  subsection  does  not, however, prevent a
25    unit from receiving a general increase in the amount  of  aid
26    that is provided to all recipients of aid under this Article.
27        The  Illinois Department is authorized to transfer funds,
28    and shall use  any  budgetary  savings  attributable  to  not
29    increasing  the  grants  due  to  the  births  of  additional
30    children,  to  supplement existing funding for employment and
31    training services for recipients of aid  under  this  Article
32    IV.   The Illinois Department shall target, to the extent the
33    supplemental funding allows, employment and training services
34    to the families who do not receive a grant increase after the
 
HB1120 Enrolled             -34-              LRB9100524PTpkA
 1    birth of a child.  In addition, the Illinois Department shall
 2    provide, to the extent the supplemental funding allows,  such
 3    families  with  up  to  24  months of transitional child care
 4    pursuant  to  Illinois  Department  rules.    All   remaining
 5    supplemental  funds shall be used for employment and training
 6    services or transitional child care support.
 7        In making the transfers authorized  by  this  subsection,
 8    the  Illinois  Department  shall first determine, pursuant to
 9    regulations adopted by  the  Illinois  Department  for   this
10    purpose, the amount of savings attributable to not increasing
11    the   grants  due  to  the  births  of  additional  children.
12    Transfers   may   be   made   from   General   Revenue   Fund
13    appropriations  for  distributive  purposes   authorized   by
14    Article  IV  of  this  Code  only  to  General  Revenue  Fund
15    appropriations   for   employability   development   services
16    including  operating  and  administrative  costs  and related
17    distributive purposes under Article IXA  of  this  Code.  The
18    Director,  with  the  approval of the Governor, shall certify
19    the amount and affected line item appropriations to the State
20    Comptroller.
21        The Illinois Department shall apply for  all  waivers  of
22    federal  law  and  regulations  necessary  to  implement this
23    subsection; implementation of this subsection  is  contingent
24    on  the  Illinois  Department receiving all necessary federal
25    waivers.   The  Illinois  Department   may   implement   this
26    subsection  through  the use of emergency rules in accordance
27    with Section 5-45 of the  Illinois  Administrative  Procedure
28    Act.   For  purposes of the Illinois Administrative Procedure
29    Act, the adoption of rules to implement this subsection shall
30    be considered an  emergency  and  necessary  for  the  public
31    interest, safety, and welfare.
32        Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit
33    the  Illinois  Department from using funds under this Article
34    IV to provide assistance in the form of vouchers that may  be
 
HB1120 Enrolled             -35-              LRB9100524PTpkA

 2    Department, by rule, as suitable for the care  of  the  child
 3    such as diapers, clothing, school supplies, and cribs.
 4        (g)  (Blank).
 5        (h)  Notwithstanding  any  other  provision of this Code,
 6    the Illinois  Department  is  authorized  to  reduce  payment
 7    levels used to determine cash grants under this Article after
 8    December  31  of  any  fiscal year if the Illinois Department
 9    determines that the caseload upon  which  the  appropriations
10    for  the current fiscal year are based have increased by more
11    than 5% and the appropriation is  not  sufficient  to  ensure
12    that  cash  benefits  under  this  Article  do not exceed the
13    amounts appropriated for those cash benefits.  Reductions  in
14    payment  levels  may  be accomplished by emergency rule under
15    Section 5-45 of the Illinois  Administrative  Procedure  Act,
16    except  that  the limitation on the number of emergency rules
17    that may be adopted in a 24-month period shall not apply  and
18    the  provisions  of  Sections 5-115 and 5-125 of the Illinois
19    Administrative Procedure Act shall not  apply.  Increases  in
20    payment  levels shall be accomplished only in accordance with
21    Section 5-40 of the Illinois  Administrative  Procedure  Act.
22    Before  any rule to increase payment levels promulgated under
23    this Section  shall  become  effective,  a  joint  resolution
24    approving  the  rule must be adopted by a roll call vote by a
25    majority of the  members  elected  to  each  chamber  of  the
26    General Assembly.

 7             (c)  The   Illinois   Department   may   conduct   a
 8        demonstration  in  at  least one county that will provide
 9        medical assistance to pregnant women, together with their

12        nonfarm income official poverty line, as defined  by  the
13        federal  Office  of  Management and Budget.  The Illinois
14        Department shall seek and obtain necessary  authorization
15        provided   under   federal   law   to  implement  such  a
16        demonstration.  Such demonstration may establish resource

21    distributions or items of income described under subparagraph
22    (X) of paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 203 of  the

23    Services also shall reassess the amount of medical assistance
24    for  which each such recipient is eligible as a result of the

 3        Sec.  6-2.  Amount  of  aid.   The  amount  and nature of
 4    General Assistance for basic maintenance  requirements  shall
 5    be  determined  in accordance with local budget standards for
 6    local governmental units which do not  receive  State  funds.
 7    For  local  governmental  units which do receive State funds,
 8    the  amount  and  nature  of  General  Assistance  for  basic
 9    maintenance requirements shall be  determined  in  accordance
10    with  the  standards,  rules  and regulations of the Illinois
11    Department. Beginning July 1, 1992, the supplementary  grants
12    previously  paid  under this Section shall no longer be paid.
13    However, the amount and nature of any financial  aid  is  not
14    affected  by  the  payment  of  any  grant  under  the Senior
15    Citizens  and  Disabled  Persons  Property  Tax  Relief   and
16    Pharmaceutical  Assistance  Act or any distributions or items
17    of income described under subparagraph (X) of  paragraph  (2)
18    of  subsection  (a) of Section 203 of the Illinois Income Tax
19    Act. Due regard shall be given to the  requirements  and  the
20    conditions  existing  in  each case, and to the income, money
21    contributions and other support and resources available, from
22    whatever source. In local governmental  units  which  do  not
23    receive State funds, the grant shall be sufficient when added
24    to  all  other  income,  money  contributions  and support in
25    excess of any excluded income or resources,  to  provide  the
26    person  with  a  grant  in  the amount established for such a
27    person by the local governmental unit  based  upon  standards
28    meeting    basic    maintenance   requirements.    In   local
29    governmental units which do receive State  funds,  the  grant
30    shall  be  sufficient  when  added to all other income, money
31    contributions and support in excess of any excluded income or
32    resources, to provide the person with a grant in  the  amount
33    established  for such a person by Department regulation based

 1    upon standards providing a livelihood compatible with  health
 2    and well-being, as directed by Section 12-4.11 of this Code.
 3        The  Illinois  Department  may  conduct special projects,
 4    which may be known as Grant Diversion Projects,  under  which
 5    recipients  of financial aid under this Article are placed in
 6    jobs and their grants are diverted to  the  employer  who  in
 7    turn  makes  payments to the recipients in the form of salary
 8    or other employment benefits.  The Illinois Department  shall
 9    by  rule  specify  the  terms  and  conditions  of such Grant
10    Diversion  Projects.    Such   projects   shall   take   into
11    consideration   and   be   coordinated   with   the  programs
12    administered  under   the   Illinois   Emergency   Employment
13    Development Act.
14        The  allowances  provided under Article IX for recipients
15    participating in the  training  and  rehabilitation  programs
16    shall be in addition to such maximum payment.
17        Payments  may  also  be made to provide persons receiving
18    basic maintenance support with necessary treatment, care  and
19    supplies  required  because  of illness or disability or with
20    acute medical treatment, care,  and  supplies.  Payments  for
21    necessary  or  acute medical care under this paragraph may be
22    made to or in behalf of the person. Obligations incurred  for
23    such  services  but not paid for at the time of a recipient's
24    death may be paid, subject to the rules  and  regulations  of
25    the Illinois Department, after the death of the recipient.
