2that services and care shall be available on an equal basis
3throughout the State to children requiring such services.

5any new program initiative to any agency contracting with the
6Department. As a prerequisite for an advance disbursement, the
7contractor must post a surety bond in the amount of the advance
8disbursement and have a purchase of service contract approved

10operational expenses in advance. The amount of the advance
11disbursement shall be prorated over the life of the contract or
12the remaining months of the fiscal year, whichever is less, and
13the installment amount shall then be deducted from future
14bills. Advance disbursement authorizations for new initiatives
15shall not be made to any agency after that agency has operated

13    Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980; and
14        (10) interstate services.
15    Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
16include provisions for training Department staff and the staff
17of Department grantees, through contracts with other agencies
18or resources, in alcohol and drug abuse screening techniques
19approved by the Department of Human Services, as a successor to
20the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, for the
21purpose of identifying children and adults who should be
22referred to an alcohol and drug abuse treatment program for
23professional evaluation.
24    (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
25program or facility within or available to the Department for a
26youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 56 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
2youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
3individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.
4The plan may be developed within the Department or through
5purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is
6within its statutory authority to do.
7    (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the
8State and shall include but not be limited to the following

19        (2) assessments;
20        (3) respite care; and
21        (4) in-home health services.
22    The Department shall provide transportation for any of the
23services it makes available to children or families or for
24which it refers children or families.
25    (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
26assistance and education assistance grants, and shall

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 57 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
2grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
3disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
4children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were youth
5in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
6assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
7available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
8dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
9been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
10died. The Department may continue to provide financial
11assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
12determined eligible for financial assistance under this
13subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's
14adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the
15new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
16parents. The Department may also provide categories of
17financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
18shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
19grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
20Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
214-25 or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
22who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
23appointment of the guardian.
24    The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs
25of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in the
26annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 58 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1allowed where the child requires special service but such costs
2may not exceed the amounts which similar services would cost
3the Department if it were to provide or secure them as guardian
4of the child.
5    Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
6inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
7garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
8a judgment or debt.
9    (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement
10of a child for adoption if an approved family is available
11either outside of the Department region handling the case, or
12outside of the State of Illinois.
13    (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any
14child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
15dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act or
16the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
17    (l) The Department shall offer family preservation
18services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected
19Child Reporting Act, to help families, including adoptive and
20extended families. Family preservation services shall be
21offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in substitute
22care when the children can be cared for at home or in the
23custody of the person responsible for the children's welfare,
24(ii) to reunite children with their families, or (iii) to
25maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation services
26shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 59 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1children's health or safety. With respect to children who are
2in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,
3family preservation services shall not be offered if a goal
4other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of
5subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set.
6Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
7private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
8or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
9subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
10of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
11facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
12hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
13of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
14out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
15reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
16    The Department shall notify the child and his family of the
17Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
18preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
19child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
20the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
21offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a
22report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
23prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of the
24Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the child's
25or family's willingness to accept services shall not be
26considered in the investigation. The Department may also

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 60 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
2any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
3such child or family to services available from other agencies
4in the community, even if the report is determined to be
5unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
6are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
7reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such
8services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide
9services to any child or family after completion of a family
10assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
11under the "differential response program" provided for in
12subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected
13Child Reporting Act.
14    The Department may, at its discretion except for those
15children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
16care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
17as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
18requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
19Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
20be committed to the Department by any court without the
21approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
22effective date of Public Act 98-803) this amendatory Act of the
2398th General Assembly and before January 1, 2017, a minor
24charged with a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961
25or the Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall
26not be placed in the custody of or committed to the Department

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 61 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1by any court, except (i) a minor less than 16 years of age
2committed to the Department under Section 5-710 of the Juvenile
3Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor for whom an independent basis
4of abuse, neglect, or dependency exists, which must be defined
5by departmental rule, or (iii) a minor for whom the court has
6granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship pursuant
7to subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
81987. On and after January 1, 2017, a minor charged with a
9criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
10Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall not be
11placed in the custody of or committed to the Department by any
12court, except (i) a minor less than 15 years of age committed
13to the Department under Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act
14of 1987, ii) a minor for whom an independent basis of abuse,
15neglect, or dependency exists, which must be defined by
16departmental rule, or (iii) a minor for whom the court has
17granted a supplemental petition to reinstate wardship pursuant
18to subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
191987. An independent basis exists when the allegations or
20adjudication of abuse, neglect, or dependency do not arise from
21the same facts, incident, or circumstances which give rise to a
22charge or adjudication of delinquency. The Department shall
23assign a caseworker to attend any hearing involving a youth in
24the care and custody of the Department who is placed on
25aftercare release, including hearings involving sanctions for
26violation of aftercare release conditions and aftercare

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 62 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1release revocation hearings.
2    As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
3date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
4implement a special program of family preservation services to
5support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
6experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and stress
7of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a pervasive
8developmental disorder if the Department determines that those
9services are necessary to ensure the health and safety of the
10child. The Department may offer services to any family whether
11or not a report has been filed under the Abused and Neglected
12Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer the child or
13family to services available from other agencies in the
14community if the conditions in the child's or family's home are
15reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
16reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
17these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall develop
18and implement a public information campaign to alert health and
19social service providers and the general public about these
20special family preservation services. The nature and scope of
21the services offered and the number of families served under
22the special program implemented under this paragraph shall be
23determined by the level of funding that the Department annually
24allocates for this purpose. The term "pervasive developmental
25disorder" under this paragraph means a neurological condition,
26including but not limited to, Asperger's Syndrome and autism,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 63 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1as defined in the most recent edition of the Diagnostic and
2Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the American
3Psychiatric Association.
4    (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of
5the child require that the child be placed in the most
6permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
7possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
8Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
9concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
10earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
11include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
12the family when the child can be cared for at home without
13endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
14the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
15is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
16permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
17    When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect
18to a child, as described in this subsection, and in making such
19reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the
20paramount concern.
21    When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall
22ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
23prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
24child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
25reunify the family when temporary placement of the child occurs
26unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 64 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing where the
2Department believes that further reunification services would
3be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that
4reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate. The Department is
5not required to provide further reunification services after
6such a finding.
7    A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
8made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
9best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
10also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
11placement made is the best available placement to provide
12permanency for the child.
13    The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
14planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
15shall consider the following factors when determining
16appropriateness of concurrent planning:
17        (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
18        (2) the past history of the family;
19        (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
20    the family;
21        (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
22        (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the
23    family to reunite;
24        (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family to
25    provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
26        (7) the age of the child;

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 65 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        (8) placement of siblings.
2    (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
3child if:
4        (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
5    custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
6    having custody of the child if the parents are not living
7    together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
8    the child is not in the custody of either parent, or
9        (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
10    parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
11If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
12guardian, custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department
13may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
14custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
15in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian or
16custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
17apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
18resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
19enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
20health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
21parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
22such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
23resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
24home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
25follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
265-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 66 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
2and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
3pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court
4Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
5pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
6Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
7under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
8custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody
9and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as
10required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
11Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
12and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
13subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
141987.
15    The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
16custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
17examination.
18    A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary
19custody of the Department who would have custody of the child
20if he were not in the temporary custody of the Department may
21deliver to the Department a signed request that the Department
22surrender the temporary custody of the child. The Department
23may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after the
24receipt of the request, during which period the Department may
25cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
26of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the Department shall retain

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 67 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1temporary custody of the child until the court orders
2otherwise. If a petition is not filed within the 10-day 10 day
3period, the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the
4requesting parent, guardian or custodian not later than the
5expiration of the 10-day 10 day period, at which time the
6authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
7temporary custody of the child shall terminate.
8    (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
9age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
10that cares for children who are in need of secure living
11arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
12determination is made by the facility director and the Director
13or the Director's designate prior to admission to the facility
14subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
15This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is subject
16to placement in a correctional facility operated pursuant to
17Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections, unless the
18child is a youth in care who was placed in the care of the
19Department before being subject to placement in a correctional
20facility and a court of competent jurisdiction has ordered
21placement of the child in a secure care facility.
22    (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of age
23in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of the
24Department, appropriate services aimed at family preservation
25have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the child's health and
26safety or are unavailable and such placement would be for their

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 68 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1best interest. Payment for board, clothing, care, training and
2supervision of any child placed in a licensed child care
3facility may be made by the Department, by the parents or
4guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
5Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
6payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
7in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
8training and supervision of such a child that exceed the
9average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a
10child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
11operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
12payments does not apply in cases where children require
13specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
14disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
15combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
16of such children are not available at payment rates within the
17limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
18services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by
19assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or otherwise.
20    (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
21welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
22sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
23minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
24subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
251987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
26provided that the minor consents to such services and has not

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 69 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
2responsibility for the development and delivery of services
3under this Section. An eligible youth may access services under
4this Section through the Department of Children and Family
5Services or by referral from the Department of Human Services.
6Youth participating in services under this Section shall
7cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing an
8agreement identifying the services to be provided and how the
9youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
10homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
11youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
12Department shall continue child welfare services under this
13Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
14of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
15self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan. The
16Department of Children and Family Services shall create clear,
17readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to child
18welfare services under this Section and how such services may
19be obtained. The Department of Children and Family Services and
20the Department of Human Services shall disseminate this
21information statewide. The Department shall adopt regulations
22describing services intended to assist minors in achieving
23sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults.
24    (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
25review and appeal process for children and families who request
26or receive child welfare services from the Department. Youth in

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 70 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and
2foster families with whom those youth are placed, shall be
3afforded the same procedural and appeal rights as children and
4families in the case of placement by the Department, including
5the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
6that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child
7welfare agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,
8affords those rights to children and foster families. The
9Department shall accept for administrative review and an appeal
10hearing a complaint made by (i) a child or foster family
11concerning a decision following an initial review by a private
12child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who
13alleges a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An
14appeal of a decision concerning a change in the placement of a
15child shall be conducted in an expedited manner. A court
16determination that a current foster home placement is necessary
17and appropriate under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of
181987 does not constitute a judicial determination on the merits
19of an administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
20involving a change of placement decision.
21    (p) (Blank).
22    (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,

7        (2) Notice to employee. Prior to reporting the name of
8    an employee, the employee shall be notified of the
9    Department's obligation to report and shall be granted an
10    opportunity to request an administrative hearing, the sole
11    purpose of which is to determine if the substantiated
12    finding warrants reporting to the Registry. Notice to the
13    employee shall contain a clear and concise statement of the
14    grounds on which the report to the Registry is based, offer
15    the employee an opportunity for a hearing, and identify the
16    process for requesting such a hearing. Notice is sufficient

18    address. If the employee fails to request a hearing within
19    30 days from the date of the notice, the Inspector General

6    finding warrants reporting to the Registry. After
7    considering all the evidence presented, the administrative
8    law judge shall make a recommendation to the Secretary as
9    to whether the substantiated finding warrants reporting
10    the name of the employee to the Registry. The Secretary

13    administrative law judge consider a stipulated disposition
14    of these proceedings.

8    Commission, or which otherwise seeks to enforce the
9    employee's rights pursuant to any applicable collective
10    bargaining agreement. If an action taken by an employer
11    against an employee as a result of a finding of physical
12    abuse, sexual abuse, or egregious neglect is overturned
13    through an action filed with the Illinois Civil Service
14    Commission or under any applicable collective bargaining
15    agreement and if that employee's name has already been sent
16    to the Registry, the employee's name shall be removed from
17    the Registry.

3    may jointly request that the administrative law judge
4    consider a stipulated disposition of these proceedings.

7    Section, and to co-operate with State and local school
8    authorities and other recognized agencies engaged in
9    habilitation, rehabilitation and comprehensive
10    rehabilitation services; and to cooperate with the

14        (c) (Blank).
15        (d) To report in writing, to the Governor, annually on

HB5447 Engrossed- 148 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    respective items of these several amounts have been
2    devoted.
3        (e) (Blank).
4        (f) To establish a program of services to prevent the
5    unnecessary institutionalization of persons in need of
6    long term care and who meet the criteria for blindness or
7    disability as defined by the Social Security Act, thereby
8    enabling them to remain in their own homes. Such preventive
9    services include any or all of the following:
10            (1) personal assistant services;
11            (2) homemaker services;
12            (3) home-delivered meals;
13            (4) adult day care services;

25    are to be provided. Such eligibility standards may be based
26    on the recipient's ability to pay for services; provided,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 149 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    however, that any portion of a person's income that is
2    equal to or less than the "protected income" level shall
3    not be considered by the Department in determining
4    eligibility. The "protected income" level shall be
5    determined by the Department, shall never be less than the
6    federal poverty standard, and shall be adjusted each year
7    to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index For All
8    Urban Consumers as determined by the United States
9    Department of Labor. The standards must provide that a
10    person may not have more than $10,000 in assets to be
11    eligible for the services, and the Department may increase
12    or decrease the asset limitation by rule. The Department
13    may not decrease the asset level below $10,000.
14        The services shall be provided, as established by the
15    Department by rule, to eligible persons to prevent
16    unnecessary or premature institutionalization, to the
17    extent that the cost of the services, together with the
18    other personal maintenance expenses of the persons, are
19    reasonably related to the standards established for care in
20    a group facility appropriate to their condition. These
21    non-institutional services, pilot projects or experimental
22    facilities may be provided as part of or in addition to
23    those authorized by federal law or those funded and
24    administered by the Illinois Department on Aging. The
25    Department shall set rates and fees for services in a fair
26    and equitable manner. Services identical to those offered

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 150 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    by the Department on Aging shall be paid at the same rate.
2        Personal assistants shall be paid at a rate negotiated
3    between the State and an exclusive representative of
4    personal assistants under a collective bargaining
5    agreement. In no case shall the Department pay personal
6    assistants an hourly wage that is less than the federal
7    minimum wage. Within 30 days after July 6, 2017 (the
8    effective date of Public Act 100-23) this amendatory Act of
9    the 100th General Assembly, the hourly wage paid to
10    personal assistants and individual maintenance home health
11    workers shall be increased by $0.48 per hour.
12        Solely for the purposes of coverage under the Illinois
13    Public Labor Relations Act, personal assistants providing
14    services under the Department's Home Services Program
15    shall be considered to be public employees and the State of
16    Illinois shall be considered to be their employer as of
17    July 16, 2003 (the effective date of Public Act 93-204)
18    this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly, but not
19    before. Solely for the purposes of coverage under the
20    Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, home care and home
21    health workers who function as personal assistants and
22    individual maintenance home health workers and who also
23    provide services under the Department's Home Services
24    Program shall be considered to be public employees, no
25    matter whether the State provides such services through
26    direct fee-for-service arrangements, with the assistance

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 151 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    of a managed care organization or other intermediary, or
2    otherwise, and the State of Illinois shall be considered to
3    be the employer of those persons as of January 29, 2013
4    (the effective date of Public Act 97-1158), but not before
5    except as otherwise provided under this subsection (f). The
6    State shall engage in collective bargaining with an
7    exclusive representative of home care and home health
8    workers who function as personal assistants and individual
9    maintenance home health workers working under the Home
10    Services Program concerning their terms and conditions of
11    employment that are within the State's control. Nothing in
12    this paragraph shall be understood to limit the right of
13    the persons receiving services defined in this Section to
14    hire and fire home care and home health workers who
15    function as personal assistants and individual maintenance
16    home health workers working under the Home Services Program
17    or to supervise them within the limitations set by the Home
18    Services Program. The State shall not be considered to be
19    the employer of home care and home health workers who
20    function as personal assistants and individual maintenance
21    home health workers working under the Home Services Program
22    for any purposes not specifically provided in Public Act
23    93-204 or Public Act 97-1158, including but not limited to,
24    purposes of vicarious liability in tort and purposes of
25    statutory retirement or health insurance benefits. Home
26    care and home health workers who function as personal

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 152 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    assistants and individual maintenance home health workers
2    and who also provide services under the Department's Home
3    Services Program shall not be covered by the State
4    Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971.
5        The Department shall execute, relative to nursing home
6    prescreening, as authorized by Section 4.03 of the Illinois
7    Act on the Aging, written inter-agency agreements with the
8    Department on Aging and the Department of Healthcare and
9    Family Services, to effect the intake procedures and
10    eligibility criteria for those persons who may need long
11    term care. On and after July 1, 1996, all nursing home
12    prescreenings for individuals 18 through 59 years of age
13    shall be conducted by the Department, or a designee of the
14    Department.
15        The Department is authorized to establish a system of
16    recipient cost-sharing for services provided under this
17    Section. The cost-sharing shall be based upon the
18    recipient's ability to pay for services, but in no case
19    shall the recipient's share exceed the actual cost of the
20    services provided. Protected income shall not be
21    considered by the Department in its determination of the
22    recipient's ability to pay a share of the cost of services.
23    The level of cost-sharing shall be adjusted each year to
24    reflect changes in the "protected income" level. The
25    Department shall deduct from the recipient's share of the
26    cost of services any money expended by the recipient for

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 153 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    disability-related expenses.
2        To the extent permitted under the federal Social
3    Security Act, the Department, or the Department's
4    authorized representative, may recover the amount of
5    moneys expended for services provided to or in behalf of a
6    person under this Section by a claim against the person's
7    estate or against the estate of the person's surviving
8    spouse, but no recovery may be had until after the death of
9    the surviving spouse, if any, and then only at such time
10    when there is no surviving child who is under age 21 or
11    blind or who has a permanent and total disability. This
12    paragraph, however, shall not bar recovery, at the death of
13    the person, of moneys for services provided to the person
14    or in behalf of the person under this Section to which the
15    person was not entitled; provided that such recovery shall
16    not be enforced against any real estate while it is
17    occupied as a homestead by the surviving spouse or other
18    dependent, if no claims by other creditors have been filed
19    against the estate, or, if such claims have been filed,
20    they remain dormant for failure of prosecution or failure
21    of the claimant to compel administration of the estate for
22    the purpose of payment. This paragraph shall not bar
23    recovery from the estate of a spouse, under Sections 1915
24    and 1924 of the Social Security Act and Section 5-4 of the
25    Illinois Public Aid Code, who precedes a person receiving
26    services under this Section in death. All moneys for

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 154 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    services paid to or in behalf of the person under this
2    Section shall be claimed for recovery from the deceased
3    spouse's estate. "Homestead", as used in this paragraph,
4    means the dwelling house and contiguous real estate
5    occupied by a surviving spouse or relative, as defined by
6    the rules and regulations of the Department of Healthcare
7    and Family Services, regardless of the value of the
8    property.
9        The Department shall submit an annual report on
10    programs and services provided under this Section. The
11    report shall be filed with the Governor and the General
12    Assembly on or before March 30 each year.
13        The requirement for reporting to the General Assembly
14    shall be satisfied by filing copies of the report with the

17    the Secretary of the Senate and the Legislative Research

21            For purposes of this Section:
22                "New wind projects" means wind renewable
23            energy facilities that are energized after June 1,
24            2017 for the delivery year commencing June 1, 2017
25            or within 3 years after the date the Commission
26            approves contracts for subsequent delivery years.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 227 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1                "New photovoltaic projects" means photovoltaic
2            renewable energy facilities that are energized
3            after June 1, 2017. Photovoltaic projects
4            developed under Section 1-56 of this Act shall not
5            apply towards the new photovoltaic project
6            requirements in this subparagraph (C).
7        (D) Renewable energy credits shall be cost effective.
8    For purposes of this subsection (c), "cost effective" means
9    that the costs of procuring renewable energy resources do
10    not cause the limit stated in subparagraph (E) of this
11    paragraph (1) to be exceeded and, for renewable energy
12    credits procured through a competitive procurement event,
13    do not exceed benchmarks based on market prices for like
14    products in the region. For purposes of this subsection
15    (c), "like products" means contracts for renewable energy
16    credits from the same or substantially similar technology,
17    same or substantially similar vintage (new or existing),
18    the same or substantially similar quantity, and the same or
19    substantially similar contract length and structure.
20    Benchmarks shall be developed by the procurement
21    administrator, in consultation with the Commission staff,
22    Agency staff, and the procurement monitor and shall be
23    subject to Commission review and approval. If price
24    benchmarks for like products in the region are not
25    available, the procurement administrator shall establish
26    price benchmarks based on publicly available data on

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 228 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    regional technology costs and expected current and future
2    regional energy prices. The benchmarks in this Section
3    shall not be used to curtail or otherwise reduce
4    contractual obligations entered into by or through the
5    Agency prior to June 1, 2017 (the effective date of Public
6    Act 99-906) this amendatory Act of the 99th General
7    Assembly.
8        (E) For purposes of this subsection (c), the required
9    procurement of cost-effective renewable energy resources
10    for a particular year commencing prior to June 1, 2017
11    shall be measured as a percentage of the actual amount of
12    electricity (megawatt-hours) supplied by the electric
13    utility to eligible retail customers in the delivery year
14    ending immediately prior to the procurement, and, for
15    delivery years commencing on and after June 1, 2017, the
16    required procurement of cost-effective renewable energy
17    resources for a particular year shall be measured as a
18    percentage of the actual amount of electricity
19    (megawatt-hours) delivered by the electric utility in the
20    delivery year ending immediately prior to the procurement,
21    to all retail customers in its service territory. For
22    purposes of this subsection (c), the amount paid per
23    kilowatthour means the total amount paid for electric
24    service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For purposes
25    of this subsection (c), the total amount paid for electric
26    service includes without limitation amounts paid for

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 229 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges, and add-on
2    taxes.
3        Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
4    (c), the total of renewable energy resources procured under
5    the procurement plan for any single year shall be subject
6    to the limitations of this subparagraph (E). Such
7    procurement shall be reduced for all retail customers based
8    on the amount necessary to limit the annual estimated
9    average net increase due to the costs of these resources
10    included in the amounts paid by eligible retail customers
11    in connection with electric service to no more than the
12    greater of 2.015% of the amount paid per kilowatthour by
13    those customers during the year ending May 31, 2007 or the
14    incremental amount per kilowatthour paid for these
15    resources in 2011. To arrive at a maximum dollar amount of
16    renewable energy resources to be procured for the
17    particular delivery year, the resulting per kilowatthour
18    amount shall be applied to the actual amount of
19    kilowatthours of electricity delivered, or applicable
20    portion of such amount as specified in paragraph (1) of
21    this subsection (c), as applicable, by the electric utility
22    in the delivery year immediately prior to the procurement
23    to all retail customers in its service territory. The
24    calculations required by this subparagraph (E) shall be
25    made only once for each delivery year at the time that the
26    renewable energy resources are procured. Once the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 230 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    determination as to the amount of renewable energy
2    resources to procure is made based on the calculations set
3    forth in this subparagraph (E) and the contracts procuring
4    those amounts are executed, no subsequent rate impact
5    determinations shall be made and no adjustments to those
6    contract amounts shall be allowed. All costs incurred under
7    such contracts shall be fully recoverable by the electric
8    utility as provided in this Section.
9        (F) If the limitation on the amount of renewable energy
10    resources procured in subparagraph (E) of this paragraph
11    (1) prevents the Agency from meeting all of the goals in
12    this subsection (c), the Agency's long-term plan shall
13    prioritize compliance with the requirements of this
14    subsection (c) regarding renewable energy credits in the
15    following order:
16            (i) renewable energy credits under existing
17        contractual obligations;
18            (i-5) funding for the Illinois Solar for All
19        Program, as described in subparagraph (O) of this
20        paragraph (1);
21            (ii) renewable energy credits necessary to comply
22        with the new wind and new photovoltaic procurement
23        requirements described in items (i) through (iii) of

9        cumulative amount of renewable energy credits
10        projected to be delivered from all new photovoltaic
11        projects in that delivery year by 200,000 or more
12        renewable energy credits, then the Agency shall within
13        60 days adjust the procurement programs in the
14        long-term renewable resources procurement plan to
15        ensure that the projected cumulative amount of
16        renewable energy credits to be delivered from all new
17        wind projects does not exceed the projected cumulative
18        amount of renewable energy credits to be delivered from
19        all new photovoltaic projects by 200,000 or more
20        renewable energy credits, provided that nothing in
21        this Section shall preclude the projected cumulative
22        amount of renewable energy credits to be delivered from
23        all new photovoltaic projects from exceeding the
24        projected cumulative amount of renewable energy
25        credits to be delivered from all new wind projects in
26        each delivery year and provided further that nothing in

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 234 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        this item (iv) shall require the curtailment of an
2        executed contract. The Agency shall update, on a
3        quarterly basis, its projection of the renewable
4        energy credits to be delivered from all projects in
5        each delivery year. Notwithstanding anything to the
6        contrary, the Agency may adjust the timing of
7        procurement events conducted under this subparagraph
8        (G). The long-term renewable resources procurement
9        plan shall set forth the process by which the
10        adjustments may be made.
11            (v) All procurements under this subparagraph (G)

14        the procurement processes and procedures described in
15        this Section and Section 16-111.5 of the Public
16        Utilities Act to the extent practicable, and these
17        processes and procedures may be expedited to
18        accommodate the schedule established by this
19        subparagraph (G).
20        (H) The procurement of renewable energy resources for a
21    given delivery year shall be reduced as described in this
22    subparagraph (H) if an alternative alternate retail
23    electric supplier meets the requirements described in this

25            (i) Within 45 days after June 1, 2017 (the
26        effective date of Public Act 99-906) this amendatory

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 235 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        Act of the 99th General Assembly, an alternative retail
2        electric supplier or its successor shall submit an
3        informational filing to the Illinois Commerce
4        Commission certifying that, as of December 31, 2015,
5        the alternative retail electric supplier owned one or
6        more electric generating facilities that generates
7        renewable energy resources as defined in Section 1-10
8        of this Act, provided that such facilities are not
9        powered by wind or photovoltaics, and the facilities
10        generate one renewable energy credit for each
11        megawatthour of energy produced from the facility.
12            The informational filing shall identify each
13        facility that was eligible to satisfy the alternative
14        retail electric supplier's obligations under Section
15        16-115D of the Public Utilities Act as described in
16        this item (i).
17            (ii) For a given delivery year, the alternative

19        customers with renewable energy credits from the
20        facility or facilities described in item (i) of this
21        subparagraph (H) that continue to be owned by the
22        alternative retail electric supplier.
23            (iii) The alternative retail electric supplier
24        shall notify the Agency and the applicable utility, no
25        later than February 28 of the year preceding the
26        applicable delivery year or 15 days after June 1, 2017

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 236 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        (the effective date of Public Act 99-906) this
2        amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, whichever
3        is later, of its election under item (ii) of this
4        subparagraph (H) to supply renewable energy credits to
5        retail customers of the utility. Such election shall
6        identify the amount of renewable energy credits to be
7        supplied by the alternative retail electric supplier
8        to the utility's retail customers and the source of the
9        renewable energy credits identified in the
10        informational filing as described in item (i) of this
11        subparagraph (H), subject to the following
12        limitations:
13                For the delivery year beginning June 1, 2018,
14            the maximum amount of renewable energy credits to
15            be supplied by an alternative retail electric
16            supplier under this subparagraph (H) shall be 68%
17            multiplied by 25% multiplied by 14.5% multiplied
18            by the amount of metered electricity
19            (megawatt-hours) delivered by the alternative
20            retail electric supplier to Illinois retail
21            customers during the delivery year ending May 31,
22            2016.
23                For delivery years beginning June 1, 2019 and
24            each year thereafter, the maximum amount of
25            renewable energy credits to be supplied by an
26            alternative retail electric supplier under this

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 237 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            subparagraph (H) shall be 68% multiplied by 50%
2            multiplied by 16% multiplied by the amount of
3            metered electricity (megawatt-hours) delivered by
4            the alternative retail electric supplier to
5            Illinois retail customers during the delivery year
6            ending May 31, 2016, provided that the 16% value
7            shall increase by 1.5% each delivery year
8            thereafter to 25% by the delivery year beginning
9            June 1, 2025, and thereafter the 25% value shall
10            apply to each delivery year.
11            For each delivery year, the total amount of
12        renewable energy credits supplied by all alternative
13        retail electric suppliers under this subparagraph (H)
14        shall not exceed 9% of the Illinois target renewable
15        energy credit quantity. The Illinois target renewable
16        energy credit quantity for the delivery year beginning
17        June 1, 2018 is 14.5% multiplied by the total amount of
18        metered electricity (megawatt-hours) delivered in the
19        delivery year immediately preceding that delivery
20        year, provided that the 14.5% shall increase by 1.5%
21        each delivery year thereafter to 25% by the delivery
22        year beginning June 1, 2025, and thereafter the 25%
23        value shall apply to each delivery year.
24            If the requirements set forth in items (i) through
25        (iii) of this subparagraph (H) are met, the charges
26        that would otherwise be applicable to the retail

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 238 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        customers of the alternative retail electric supplier
2        under paragraph (6) of this subsection (c) for the
3        applicable delivery year shall be reduced by the ratio
4        of the quantity of renewable energy credits supplied by
5        the alternative retail electric supplier compared to
6        that supplier's target renewable energy credit
7        quantity. The supplier's target renewable energy
8        credit quantity for the delivery year beginning June 1,
9        2018 is 14.5% multiplied by the total amount of metered
10        electricity (megawatt-hours) delivered by the
11        alternative retail supplier in that delivery year,
12        provided that the 14.5% shall increase by 1.5% each
13        delivery year thereafter to 25% by the delivery year
14        beginning June 1, 2025, and thereafter the 25% value
15        shall apply to each delivery year.
16            On or before April 1 of each year, the Agency shall
17        annually publish a report on its website that
18        identifies the aggregate amount of renewable energy
19        credits supplied by alternative retail electric
20        suppliers under this subparagraph (H).
21        (I) The Agency shall design its long-term renewable
22    energy procurement plan to maximize the State's interest in
23    the health, safety, and welfare of its residents, including
24    but not limited to minimizing sulfur dioxide, nitrogen
25    oxide, particulate matter and other pollution that
26    adversely affects public health in this State, increasing

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 239 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    fuel and resource diversity in this State, enhancing the
2    reliability and resiliency of the electricity distribution
3    system in this State, meeting goals to limit carbon dioxide
4    emissions under federal or State law, and contributing to a
5    cleaner and healthier environment for the citizens of this
6    State. In order to further these legislative purposes,
7    renewable energy credits shall be eligible to be counted
8    toward the renewable energy requirements of this
9    subsection (c) if they are generated from facilities
10    located in this State. The Agency may qualify renewable
11    energy credits from facilities located in states adjacent
12    to Illinois if the generator demonstrates and the Agency
13    determines that the operation of such facility or
14    facilities will help promote the State's interest in the
15    health, safety, and welfare of its residents based on the
16    public interest criteria described above. To ensure that
17    the public interest criteria are applied to the procurement
18    and given full effect, the Agency's long-term procurement
19    plan shall describe in detail how each public interest
20    factor shall be considered and weighted for facilities
21    located in states adjacent to Illinois.
22        (J) In order to promote the competitive development of
23    renewable energy resources in furtherance of the State's
24    interest in the health, safety, and welfare of its
25    residents, renewable energy credits shall not be eligible
26    to be counted toward the renewable energy requirements of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 240 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    this subsection (c) if they are sourced from a generating
2    unit whose costs were being recovered through rates
3    regulated by this State or any other state or states on or
4    after January 1, 2017. Each contract executed to purchase
5    renewable energy credits under this subsection (c) shall
6    provide for the contract's termination if the costs of the
7    generating unit supplying the renewable energy credits
8    subsequently begin to be recovered through rates regulated
9    by this State or any other state or states; and each
10    contract shall further provide that, in that event, the
11    supplier of the credits must return 110% of all payments
12    received under the contract. Amounts returned under the
13    requirements of this subparagraph (J) shall be retained by
14    the utility and all of these amounts shall be used for the
15    procurement of additional renewable energy credits from
16    new wind or new photovoltaic resources as defined in this
17    subsection (c). The long-term plan shall provide that these
18    renewable energy credits shall be procured in the next
19    procurement event.
20        Notwithstanding the limitations of this subparagraph
21    (J), renewable energy credits sourced from generating
22    units that are constructed, purchased, owned, or leased by
23    an electric utility as part of an approved project,
24    program, or pilot under Section 1-56 of this Act shall be
25    eligible to be counted toward the renewable energy
26    requirements of this subsection (c), regardless of how the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 241 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    costs of these units are recovered.
2        (K) The long-term renewable resources procurement plan
3    developed by the Agency in accordance with subparagraph (A)
4    of this paragraph (1) shall include an Adjustable Block
5    program for the procurement of renewable energy credits
6    from new photovoltaic projects that are distributed
7    renewable energy generation devices or new photovoltaic
8    community renewable generation projects. The Adjustable
9    Block program shall be designed to provide a transparent
10    schedule of prices and quantities to enable the
11    photovoltaic market to scale up and for renewable energy
12    credit prices to adjust at a predictable rate over time.
13    The prices set by the Adjustable Block program can be
14    reflected as a set value or as the product of a formula.
15        The Adjustable Block program shall include for each
16    category of eligible projects: a schedule of standard block
17    purchase prices to be offered; a series of steps, with
18    associated nameplate capacity and purchase prices that
19    adjust from step to step; and automatic opening of the next
20    step as soon as the nameplate capacity and available
21    purchase prices for an open step are fully committed or
22    reserved. Only projects energized on or after June 1, 2017
23    shall be eligible for the Adjustable Block program. For
24    each block group the Agency shall determine the number of
25    blocks, the amount of generation capacity in each block,
26    and the purchase price for each block, provided that the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 242 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    purchase price provided and the total amount of generation
2    in all blocks for all block groups shall be sufficient to
3    meet the goals in this subsection (c). The Agency may
4    periodically review its prior decisions establishing the
5    number of blocks, the amount of generation capacity in each
6    block, and the purchase price for each block, and may
7    propose, on an expedited basis, changes to these previously
8    set values, including but not limited to redistributing
9    these amounts and the available funds as necessary and
10    appropriate, subject to Commission approval as part of the
11    periodic plan revision process described in Section
12    16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act. The Agency may define
13    different block sizes, purchase prices, or other distinct
14    terms and conditions for projects located in different
15    utility service territories if the Agency deems it
16    necessary to meet the goals in this subsection (c).
17        The Adjustable Block program shall include at least the
18    following block groups in at least the following amounts,
19    which may be adjusted upon review by the Agency and
20    approval by the Commission as described in this
21    subparagraph (K):
22            (i) At least 25% from distributed renewable energy
23        generation devices with a nameplate capacity of no more
24        than 10 kilowatts.
25            (ii) At least 25% from distributed renewable
26        energy generation devices with a nameplate capacity of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 243 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        more than 10 kilowatts and no more than 2,000
2        kilowatts. The Agency may create sub-categories within
3        this category to account for the differences between
4        projects for small commercial customers, large
5        commercial customers, and public or non-profit
6        customers.
7            (iii) At least 25% from photovoltaic community
8        renewable generation projects.
9            (iv) The remaining 25% shall be allocated as
10        specified by the Agency in the long-term renewable
11        resources procurement plan.
12        The Adjustable Block program shall be designed to
13    ensure that renewable energy credits are procured from
14    photovoltaic distributed renewable energy generation
15    devices and new photovoltaic community renewable energy
16    generation projects in diverse locations and are not
17    concentrated in a few geographic areas.
18        (L) The procurement of photovoltaic renewable energy
19    credits under items (i) through (iv) of subparagraph (K) of
20    this paragraph (1) shall be subject to the following
21    contract and payment terms:
22            (i) The Agency shall procure contracts of at least
23        15 years in length.
24            (ii) For those renewable energy credits that
25        qualify and are procured under item (i) of subparagraph
26        (K) of this paragraph (1), the renewable energy credit

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 244 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        purchase price shall be paid in full by the contracting
2        utilities at the time that the facility producing the
3        renewable energy credits is interconnected at the
4        distribution system level of the utility and
5        energized. The electric utility shall receive and
6        retire all renewable energy credits generated by the
7        project for the first 15 years of operation.
8            (iii) For those renewable energy credits that
9        qualify and are procured under item (ii) and (iii) of
10        subparagraph (K) of this paragraph (1) and any
11        additional categories of distributed generation
12        included in the long-term renewable resources
13        procurement plan and approved by the Commission, 20
14        percent of the renewable energy credit purchase price
15        shall be paid by the contracting utilities at the time
16        that the facility producing the renewable energy
17        credits is interconnected at the distribution system
18        level of the utility and energized. The remaining
19        portion shall be paid ratably over the subsequent
20        4-year period. The electric utility shall receive and
21        retire all renewable energy credits generated by the
22        project for the first 15 years of operation.
23            (iv) Each contract shall include provisions to
24        ensure the delivery of the renewable energy credits for
25        the full term of the contract.
26            (v) The utility shall be the counterparty to the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 245 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        contracts executed under this subparagraph (L) that
2        are approved by the Commission under the process
3        described in Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities
4        Act. No contract shall be executed for an amount that
5        is less than one renewable energy credit per year.
6            (vi) If, at any time, approved applications for the
7        Adjustable Block program exceed funds collected by the
8        electric utility or would cause the Agency to exceed
9        the limitation described in subparagraph (E) of this
10        paragraph (1) on the amount of renewable energy
11        resources that may be procured, then the Agency shall
12        consider future uncommitted funds to be reserved for
13        these contracts on a first-come, first-served basis,
14        with the delivery of renewable energy credits required
15        beginning at the time that the reserved funds become
16        available.
17            (vii) Nothing in this Section shall require the
18        utility to advance any payment or pay any amounts that
19        exceed the actual amount of revenues collected by the
20        utility under paragraph (6) of this subsection (c) and
21        subsection (k) of Section 16-108 of the Public
22        Utilities Act, and contracts executed under this
23        Section shall expressly incorporate this limitation.
24        (M) The Agency shall be authorized to retain one or
25    more experts or expert consulting firms to develop,
26    administer, implement, operate, and evaluate the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 246 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    Adjustable Block program described in subparagraph (K) of
2    this paragraph (1), and the Agency shall retain the
3    consultant or consultants in the same manner, to the extent
4    practicable, as the Agency retains others to administer
5    provisions of this Act, including, but not limited to, the
6    procurement administrator. The selection of experts and
7    expert consulting firms and the procurement process
8    described in this subparagraph (M) are exempt from the
9    requirements of Section 20-10 of the Illinois Procurement
10    Code, under Section 20-10 of that Code. The Agency shall
11    strive to minimize administrative expenses in the
12    implementation of the Adjustable Block program.
13        The Agency and its consultant or consultants shall
14    monitor block activity, share program activity with
15    stakeholders and conduct regularly scheduled meetings to
16    discuss program activity and market conditions. If
17    necessary, the Agency may make prospective administrative
18    adjustments to the Adjustable Block program design, such as
19    redistributing available funds or making adjustments to
20    purchase prices as necessary to achieve the goals of this
21    subsection (c). Program modifications to any price,
22    capacity block, or other program element that do not
23    deviate from the Commission's approved value by more than
24    25% shall take effect immediately and are not subject to
25    Commission review and approval. Program modifications to
26    any price, capacity block, or other program element that

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 247 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    deviate more than 25% from the Commission's approved value
2    must be approved by the Commission as a long-term plan
3    amendment under Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities
4    Act. The Agency shall consider stakeholder feedback when
5    making adjustments to the Adjustable Block design and shall
6    notify stakeholders in advance of any planned changes.
7        (N) The long-term renewable resources procurement plan
8    required by this subsection (c) shall include a community
9    renewable generation program. The Agency shall establish
10    the terms, conditions, and program requirements for
11    community renewable generation projects with a goal to
12    expand renewable energy generating facility access to a
13    broader group of energy consumers, to ensure robust
14    participation opportunities for residential and small
15    commercial customers and those who cannot install
16    renewable energy on their own properties. Any plan approved
17    by the Commission shall allow subscriptions to community
18    renewable generation projects to be portable and
19    transferable. For purposes of this subparagraph (N),
20    "portable" means that subscriptions may be retained by the
21    subscriber even if the subscriber relocates or changes its
22    address within the same utility service territory; and
23    "transferable" means that a subscriber may assign or sell
24    subscriptions to another person within the same utility
25    service territory.
26        Electric utilities shall provide a monetary credit to a

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 248 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    subscriber's subsequent bill for service for the
2    proportional output of a community renewable generation
3    project attributable to that subscriber as specified in
4    Section 16-107.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
5        The Agency shall purchase renewable energy credits
6    from subscribed shares of photovoltaic community renewable
7    generation projects through the Adjustable Block program
8    described in subparagraph (K) of this paragraph (1) or
9    through the Illinois Solar for All Program described in
10    Section 1-56 of this Act. The electric utility shall
11    purchase any unsubscribed energy from community renewable

7    procurement plan shall allocate 5% of the funds available
8    under the plan for the applicable delivery year, or
9    $10,000,000 per delivery year, whichever is greater, to
10    fund the programs, and the plan shall determine the amount
11    of funding to be apportioned to the programs identified in
12    subsection (b) of Section 1-56 of this Act; provided that
13    for the delivery years beginning June 1, 2017, June 1,
14    2021, and June 1, 2025, the long-term renewable resources
15    procurement plan shall allocate 10% of the funds available
16    under the plan for the applicable delivery year, or
17    $20,000,000 per delivery year, whichever is greater, and
18    $10,000,000 of such funds in such year shall be used by an
19    electric utility that serves more than 3,000,000 retail
20    customers in the State to implement a Commission-approved
21    plan under Section 16-108.12 of the Public Utilities Act.
22    In making the determinations required under this

4    female-owned business enterprises, and shall not,
5    consistent with State and federal law, discriminate based
6    on race or socioeconomic status.
7    (d) Clean coal portfolio standard.
8        (1) The procurement plans shall include electricity
9    generated using clean coal. Each utility shall enter into
10    one or more sourcing agreements with the initial clean coal
11    facility, as provided in paragraph (3) of this subsection
12    (d), covering electricity generated by the initial clean
13    coal facility representing at least 5% of each utility's
14    total supply to serve the load of eligible retail customers
15    in 2015 and each year thereafter, as described in paragraph
16    (3) of this subsection (d), subject to the limits specified
17    in paragraph (2) of this subsection (d). It is the goal of
18    the State that by January 1, 2025, 25% of the electricity
19    used in the State shall be generated by cost-effective
20    clean coal facilities. For purposes of this subsection (d),
21    "cost-effective" means that the expenditures pursuant to
22    such sourcing agreements do not cause the limit stated in
23    paragraph (2) of this subsection (d) to be exceeded and do
24    not exceed cost-based benchmarks, which shall be developed
25    to assess all expenditures pursuant to such sourcing
26    agreements covering electricity generated by clean coal

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 253 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    facilities, other than the initial clean coal facility, by
2    the procurement administrator, in consultation with the
3    Commission staff, Agency staff, and the procurement
4    monitor and shall be subject to Commission review and
5    approval.
6        A utility party to a sourcing agreement shall
7    immediately retire any emission credits that it receives in
8    connection with the electricity covered by such agreement.
9        Utilities shall maintain adequate records documenting
10    the purchases under the sourcing agreement to comply with
11    this subsection (d) and shall file an accounting with the
12    load forecast that must be filed with the Agency by July 15
13    of each year, in accordance with subsection (d) of Section
14    16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
15        A utility shall be deemed to have complied with the
16    clean coal portfolio standard specified in this subsection
17    (d) if the utility enters into a sourcing agreement as
18    required by this subsection (d).
19        (2) For purposes of this subsection (d), the required
20    execution of sourcing agreements with the initial clean
21    coal facility for a particular year shall be measured as a
22    percentage of the actual amount of electricity
23    (megawatt-hours) supplied by the electric utility to
24    eligible retail customers in the planning year ending
25    immediately prior to the agreement's execution. For
26    purposes of this subsection (d), the amount paid per

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 254 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    kilowatthour means the total amount paid for electric
2    service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For purposes
3    of this subsection (d), the total amount paid for electric
4    service includes without limitation amounts paid for
5    supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges and add-on
6    taxes.
7        Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
8    (d), the total amount paid under sourcing agreements with
9    clean coal facilities pursuant to the procurement plan for
10    any given year shall be reduced by an amount necessary to
11    limit the annual estimated average net increase due to the
12    costs of these resources included in the amounts paid by
13    eligible retail customers in connection with electric
14    service to:
15            (A) in 2010, no more than 0.5% of the amount paid
16        per kilowatthour by those customers during the year
17        ending May 31, 2009;
18            (B) in 2011, the greater of an additional 0.5% of
19        the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
20        during the year ending May 31, 2010 or 1% of the amount
21        paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
22        year ending May 31, 2009;
23            (C) in 2012, the greater of an additional 0.5% of
24        the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
25        during the year ending May 31, 2011 or 1.5% of the
26        amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers during

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 255 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        the year ending May 31, 2009;
2            (D) in 2013, the greater of an additional 0.5% of
3        the amount paid per kilowatthour by those customers
4        during the year ending May 31, 2012 or 2% of the amount
5        paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
6        year ending May 31, 2009; and
7            (E) thereafter, the total amount paid under
8        sourcing agreements with clean coal facilities
9        pursuant to the procurement plan for any single year
10        shall be reduced by an amount necessary to limit the
11        estimated average net increase due to the cost of these
12        resources included in the amounts paid by eligible
13        retail customers in connection with electric service
14        to no more than the greater of (i) 2.015% of the amount
15        paid per kilowatthour by those customers during the
16        year ending May 31, 2009 or (ii) the incremental amount
17        per kilowatthour paid for these resources in 2013.
18        These requirements may be altered only as provided by
19        statute.
20        No later than June 30, 2015, the Commission shall
21    review the limitation on the total amount paid under
22    sourcing agreements, if any, with clean coal facilities
23    pursuant to this subsection (d) and report to the General
24    Assembly its findings as to whether that limitation unduly
25    constrains the amount of electricity generated by
26    cost-effective clean coal facilities that is covered by

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 256 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    sourcing agreements.
2        (3) Initial clean coal facility. In order to promote
3    development of clean coal facilities in Illinois, each
4    electric utility subject to this Section shall execute a
5    sourcing agreement to source electricity from a proposed
6    clean coal facility in Illinois (the "initial clean coal
7    facility") that will have a nameplate capacity of at least
8    500 MW when commercial operation commences, that has a
9    final Clean Air Act permit on June 1, 2009 (the effective
10    date of Public Act 95-1027) this amendatory Act of the 95th
11    General Assembly, and that will meet the definition of
12    clean coal facility in Section 1-10 of this Act when
13    commercial operation commences. The sourcing agreements
14    with this initial clean coal facility shall be subject to
15    both approval of the initial clean coal facility by the
16    General Assembly and satisfaction of the requirements of
17    paragraph (4) of this subsection (d) and shall be executed
18    within 90 days after any such approval by the General
19    Assembly. The Agency and the Commission shall have
20    authority to inspect all books and records associated with
21    the initial clean coal facility during the term of such a
22    sourcing agreement. A utility's sourcing agreement for
23    electricity produced by the initial clean coal facility
24    shall include:
25            (A) a formula contractual price (the "contract
26        price") approved pursuant to paragraph (4) of this

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 257 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        subsection (d), which shall:
2                (i) be determined using a cost of service
3            methodology employing either a level or deferred
4            capital recovery component, based on a capital
5            structure consisting of 45% equity and 55% debt,
6            and a return on equity as may be approved by the
7            Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which in any
8            case may not exceed the lower of 11.5% or the rate
9            of return approved by the General Assembly
10            pursuant to paragraph (4) of this subsection (d);
11            and
12                (ii) provide that all miscellaneous net
13            revenue, including but not limited to net revenue
14            from the sale of emission allowances, if any,
15            substitute natural gas, if any, grants or other
16            support provided by the State of Illinois or the
17            United States Government, firm transmission
18            rights, if any, by-products produced by the
19            facility, energy or capacity derived from the
20            facility and not covered by a sourcing agreement
21            pursuant to paragraph (3) of this subsection (d) or
22            item (5) of subsection (d) of Section 16-115 of the
23            Public Utilities Act, whether generated from the
24            synthesis gas derived from coal, from SNG, or from
25            natural gas, shall be credited against the revenue
26            requirement for this initial clean coal facility;

1            (B) power purchase provisions, which shall:
2                (i) provide that the utility party to such
3            sourcing agreement shall pay the contract price
4            for electricity delivered under such sourcing
5            agreement;
6                (ii) require delivery of electricity to the
7            regional transmission organization market of the
8            utility that is party to such sourcing agreement;
9                (iii) require the utility party to such
10            sourcing agreement to buy from the initial clean
11            coal facility in each hour an amount of energy
12            equal to all clean coal energy made available from
13            the initial clean coal facility during such hour
14            times a fraction, the numerator of which is such
15            utility's retail market sales of electricity
16            (expressed in kilowatthours sold) in the State
17            during the prior calendar month and the
18            denominator of which is the total retail market
19            sales of electricity (expressed in kilowatthours
20            sold) in the State by utilities during such prior
21            month and the sales of electricity (expressed in
22            kilowatthours sold) in the State by alternative
23            retail electric suppliers during such prior month
24            that are subject to the requirements of this
25            subsection (d) and paragraph (5) of subsection (d)
26            of Section 16-115 of the Public Utilities Act,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 259 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            provided that the amount purchased by the utility
2            in any year will be limited by paragraph (2) of
3            this subsection (d); and
4                (iv) be considered pre-existing contracts in
5            such utility's procurement plans for eligible
6            retail customers;
7            (C) contract for differences provisions, which
8        shall:
9                (i) require the utility party to such sourcing
10            agreement to contract with the initial clean coal
11            facility in each hour with respect to an amount of
12            energy equal to all clean coal energy made
13            available from the initial clean coal facility
14            during such hour times a fraction, the numerator of
15            which is such utility's retail market sales of
16            electricity (expressed in kilowatthours sold) in
17            the utility's service territory in the State
18            during the prior calendar month and the
19            denominator of which is the total retail market
20            sales of electricity (expressed in kilowatthours
21            sold) in the State by utilities during such prior
22            month and the sales of electricity (expressed in
23            kilowatthours sold) in the State by alternative
24            retail electric suppliers during such prior month
25            that are subject to the requirements of this
26            subsection (d) and paragraph (5) of subsection (d)

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 260 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            of Section 16-115 of the Public Utilities Act,
2            provided that the amount paid by the utility in any
3            year will be limited by paragraph (2) of this
4            subsection (d);
5                (ii) provide that the utility's payment
6            obligation in respect of the quantity of
7            electricity determined pursuant to the preceding
8            clause (i) shall be limited to an amount equal to
9            (1) the difference between the contract price
10            determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) of
11            paragraph (3) of this subsection (d) and the
12            day-ahead price for electricity delivered to the
13            regional transmission organization market of the
14            utility that is party to such sourcing agreement
15            (or any successor delivery point at which such
16            utility's supply obligations are financially
17            settled on an hourly basis) (the "reference
18            price") on the day preceding the day on which the
19            electricity is delivered to the initial clean coal
20            facility busbar, multiplied by (2) the quantity of
21            electricity determined pursuant to the preceding
22            clause (i); and
23                (iii) not require the utility to take physical
24            delivery of the electricity produced by the
25            facility;
26            (D) general provisions, which shall:

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 261 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1                (i) specify a term of no more than 30 years,
2            commencing on the commercial operation date of the
3            facility;
4                (ii) provide that utilities shall maintain
5            adequate records documenting purchases under the
6            sourcing agreements entered into to comply with
7            this subsection (d) and shall file an accounting
8            with the load forecast that must be filed with the
9            Agency by July 15 of each year, in accordance with
10            subsection (d) of Section 16-111.5 of the Public
11            Utilities Act;
12                (iii) provide that all costs associated with
13            the initial clean coal facility will be
14            periodically reported to the Federal Energy
15            Regulatory Commission and to purchasers in
16            accordance with applicable laws governing
17            cost-based wholesale power contracts;
18                (iv) permit the Illinois Power Agency to
19            assume ownership of the initial clean coal
20            facility, without monetary consideration and
21            otherwise on reasonable terms acceptable to the
22            Agency, if the Agency so requests no less than 3
23            years prior to the end of the stated contract term;
24                (v) require the owner of the initial clean coal
25            facility to provide documentation to the
26            Commission each year, starting in the facility's

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 262 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            first year of commercial operation, accurately
2            reporting the quantity of carbon emissions from
3            the facility that have been captured and
4            sequestered and report any quantities of carbon
5            released from the site or sites at which carbon
6            emissions were sequestered in prior years, based
7            on continuous monitoring of such sites. If, in any
8            year after the first year of commercial operation,
9            the owner of the facility fails to demonstrate that
10            the initial clean coal facility captured and
11            sequestered at least 50% of the total carbon
12            emissions that the facility would otherwise emit
13            or that sequestration of emissions from prior
14            years has failed, resulting in the release of
15            carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the owner of
16            the facility must offset excess emissions. Any
17            such carbon offsets must be permanent, additional,
18            verifiable, real, located within the State of
19            Illinois, and legally and practicably enforceable.
20            The cost of such offsets for the facility that are
21            not recoverable shall not exceed $15 million in any
22            given year. No costs of any such purchases of
23            carbon offsets may be recovered from a utility or
24            its customers. All carbon offsets purchased for
25            this purpose and any carbon emission credits
26            associated with sequestration of carbon from the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 263 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            facility must be permanently retired. The initial
2            clean coal facility shall not forfeit its
3            designation as a clean coal facility if the
4            facility fails to fully comply with the applicable
5            carbon sequestration requirements in any given
6            year, provided the requisite offsets are
7            purchased. However, the Attorney General, on
8            behalf of the People of the State of Illinois, may
9            specifically enforce the facility's sequestration
10            requirement and the other terms of this contract
11            provision. Compliance with the sequestration
12            requirements and offset purchase requirements
13            specified in paragraph (3) of this subsection (d)
14            shall be reviewed annually by an independent
15            expert retained by the owner of the initial clean
16            coal facility, with the advance written approval
17            of the Attorney General. The Commission may, in the
18            course of the review specified in item (vii),
19            reduce the allowable return on equity for the
20            facility if the facility willfully wilfully fails
21            to comply with the carbon capture and
22            sequestration requirements set forth in this item
23            (v);
24                (vi) include limits on, and accordingly
25            provide for modification of, the amount the
26            utility is required to source under the sourcing

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 264 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            agreement consistent with paragraph (2) of this
2            subsection (d);
3                (vii) require Commission review: (1) to
4            determine the justness, reasonableness, and
5            prudence of the inputs to the formula referenced in
6            subparagraphs (A)(i) through (A)(iii) of paragraph
7            (3) of this subsection (d), prior to an adjustment
8            in those inputs including, without limitation, the
9            capital structure and return on equity, fuel
10            costs, and other operations and maintenance costs
11            and (2) to approve the costs to be passed through
12            to customers under the sourcing agreement by which
13            the utility satisfies its statutory obligations.
14            Commission review shall occur no less than every 3
15            years, regardless of whether any adjustments have
16            been proposed, and shall be completed within 9
17            months;
18                (viii) limit the utility's obligation to such
19            amount as the utility is allowed to recover through
20            tariffs filed with the Commission, provided that
21            neither the clean coal facility nor the utility
22            waives any right to assert federal pre-emption or
23            any other argument in response to a purported
24            disallowance of recovery costs;
25                (ix) limit the utility's or alternative retail
26            electric supplier's obligation to incur any

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 265 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            liability until such time as the facility is in
2            commercial operation and generating power and
3            energy and such power and energy is being delivered
4            to the facility busbar;
5                (x) provide that the owner or owners of the
6            initial clean coal facility, which is the
7            counterparty to such sourcing agreement, shall
8            have the right from time to time to elect whether
9            the obligations of the utility party thereto shall
10            be governed by the power purchase provisions or the
11            contract for differences provisions;
12                (xi) append documentation showing that the
13            formula rate and contract, insofar as they relate
14            to the power purchase provisions, have been
15            approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory
16            Commission pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal
17            Power Act;
18                (xii) provide that any changes to the terms of
19            the contract, insofar as such changes relate to the
20            power purchase provisions, are subject to review
21            under the public interest standard applied by the

9        reimbursed through Coal Development Bonds.
10        (5) Re-powering and retrofitting coal-fired power
11    plants previously owned by Illinois utilities to qualify as
12    clean coal facilities. During the 2009 procurement
13    planning process and thereafter, the Agency and the
14    Commission shall consider sourcing agreements covering
15    electricity generated by power plants that were previously
16    owned by Illinois utilities and that have been or will be
17    converted into clean coal facilities, as defined by Section
18    1-10 of this Act. Pursuant to such procurement planning
19    process, the owners of such facilities may propose to the
20    Agency sourcing agreements with utilities and alternative
21    retail electric suppliers required to comply with
22    subsection (d) of this Section and item (5) of subsection
23    (d) of Section 16-115 of the Public Utilities Act, covering
24    electricity generated by such facilities. In the case of
25    sourcing agreements that are power purchase agreements,
26    the contract price for electricity sales shall be

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 272 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    established on a cost of service basis. In the case of
2    sourcing agreements that are contracts for differences,
3    the contract price from which the reference price is
4    subtracted shall be established on a cost of service basis.
5    The Agency and the Commission may approve any such utility
6    sourcing agreements that do not exceed cost-based
7    benchmarks developed by the procurement administrator, in
8    consultation with the Commission staff, Agency staff and
9    the procurement monitor, subject to Commission review and
10    approval. The Commission shall have authority to inspect
11    all books and records associated with these clean coal
12    facilities during the term of any such contract.
13        (6) Costs incurred under this subsection (d) or
14    pursuant to a contract entered into under this subsection
15    (d) shall be deemed prudently incurred and reasonable in
16    amount and the electric utility shall be entitled to full
17    cost recovery pursuant to the tariffs filed with the
18    Commission.
19    (d-5) Zero emission standard.
20        (1) Beginning with the delivery year commencing on June
21    1, 2017, the Agency shall, for electric utilities that
22    serve at least 100,000 retail customers in this State,
23    procure contracts with zero emission facilities that are
24    reasonably capable of generating cost-effective zero
25    emission credits in an amount approximately equal to 16% of
26    the actual amount of electricity delivered by each electric

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 273 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    utility to retail customers in the State during calendar
2    year 2014. For an electric utility serving fewer than
3    100,000 retail customers in this State that requested,
4    under Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act, that
5    the Agency procure power and energy for all or a portion of
6    the utility's Illinois load for the delivery year
7    commencing June 1, 2016, the Agency shall procure contracts
8    with zero emission facilities that are reasonably capable
9    of generating cost-effective zero emission credits in an
10    amount approximately equal to 16% of the portion of power
11    and energy to be procured by the Agency for the utility.
12    The duration of the contracts procured under this
13    subsection (d-5) shall be for a term of 10 years ending May
14    31, 2027. The quantity of zero emission credits to be
15    procured under the contracts shall be all of the zero
16    emission credits generated by the zero emission facility in
17    each delivery year; however, if the zero emission facility
18    is owned by more than one entity, then the quantity of zero
19    emission credits to be procured under the contracts shall
20    be the amount of zero emission credits that are generated
21    from the portion of the zero emission facility that is
22    owned by the winning supplier.
23        The 16% value identified in this paragraph (1) is the
24    average of the percentage targets in subparagraph (B) of
25    paragraph (1) of subsection (c) of Section 1-75 of this Act
26    for the 5 delivery years beginning June 1, 2017.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 274 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        The procurement process shall be subject to the
2    following provisions:
3            (A) Those zero emission facilities that intend to
4        participate in the procurement shall submit to the
5        Agency the following eligibility information for each
6        zero emission facility on or before the date
7        established by the Agency:
8                (i) the in-service date and remaining useful
9            life of the zero emission facility;
10                (ii) the amount of power generated annually
11            for each of the years 2005 through 2015, and the
12            projected zero emission credits to be generated
13            over the remaining useful life of the zero emission
14            facility, which shall be used to determine the
15            capability of each facility;
16                (iii) the annual zero emission facility cost
17            projections, expressed on a per megawatthour
18            basis, over the next 6 delivery years, which shall
19            include the following: operation and maintenance
20            expenses; fully allocated overhead costs, which
21            shall be allocated using the methodology developed
22            by the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations;
23            fuel expenditures; non-fuel capital expenditures;
24            spent fuel expenditures; a return on working
25            capital; the cost of operational and market risks
26            that could be avoided by ceasing operation; and any

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 275 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            other costs necessary for continued operations,
2            provided that "necessary" means, for purposes of
3            this item (iii), that the costs could reasonably be
4            avoided only by ceasing operations of the zero
5            emission facility; and
6                (iv) a commitment to continue operating, for
7            the duration of the contract or contracts executed
8            under the procurement held under this subsection
9            (d-5), the zero emission facility that produces
10            the zero emission credits to be procured in the
11            procurement.
12        The information described in item (iii) of this
13    subparagraph (A) may be submitted on a confidential basis
14    and shall be treated and maintained by the Agency, the
15    procurement administrator, and the Commission as
16    confidential and proprietary and exempt from disclosure
17    under subparagraphs (a) and (g) of paragraph (1) of Section
18    7 of the Freedom of Information Act. The Office of Attorney
19    General shall have access to, and maintain the
20    confidentiality of, such information pursuant to Section
21    6.5 of the Attorney General Act.
22            (B) The price for each zero emission credit
23        procured under this subsection (d-5) for each delivery
24        year shall be in an amount that equals the Social Cost
25        of Carbon, expressed on a price per megawatthour basis.
26        However, to ensure that the procurement remains

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 276 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        affordable to retail customers in this State if
2        electricity prices increase, the price in an
3        applicable delivery year shall be reduced below the
4        Social Cost of Carbon by the amount ("Price
5        Adjustment") by which the market price index for the
6        applicable delivery year exceeds the baseline market
7        price index for the consecutive 12-month period ending
8        May 31, 2016. If the Price Adjustment is greater than
9        or equal to the Social Cost of Carbon in an applicable
10        delivery year, then no payments shall be due in that
11        delivery year. The components of this calculation are
12        defined as follows:
13                (i) Social Cost of Carbon: The Social Cost of
14            Carbon is $16.50 per megawatthour, which is based
15            on the U.S. Interagency Working Group on Social
16            Cost of Carbon's price in the August 2016 Technical
17            Update using a 3% discount rate, adjusted for
18            inflation for each year of the program. Beginning
19            with the delivery year commencing June 1, 2023, the
20            price per megawatthour shall increase by $1 per
21            megawatthour, and continue to increase by an
22            additional $1 per megawatthour each delivery year
23            thereafter.
24                (ii) Baseline market price index: The baseline
25            market price index for the consecutive 12-month
26            period ending May 31, 2016 is $31.40 per

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 277 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            megawatthour, which is based on the sum of (aa) the
2            average day-ahead energy price across all hours of
3            such 12-month period at the PJM Interconnection
4            LLC Northern Illinois Hub, (bb) 50% multiplied by
5            the Base Residual Auction, or its successor,
6            capacity price for the rest of the RTO zone group
7            determined by PJM Interconnection LLC, divided by
8            24 hours per day, and (cc) 50% multiplied by the
9            Planning Resource Auction, or its successor,
10            capacity price for Zone 4 determined by the
11            Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc.,
12            divided by 24 hours per day.
13                (iii) Market price index: The market price
14            index for a delivery year shall be the sum of
15            projected energy prices and projected capacity
16            prices determined as follows:
17                    (aa) Projected energy prices: the
18                projected energy prices for the applicable
19                delivery year shall be calculated once for the
20                year using the forward market price for the PJM
21                Interconnection, LLC Northern Illinois Hub.
22                The forward market price shall be calculated as
23                follows: the energy forward prices for each
24                month of the applicable delivery year averaged
25                for each trade date during the calendar year
26                immediately preceding that delivery year to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 278 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1                produce a single energy forward price for the
2                delivery year. The forward market price
3                calculation shall use data published by the
4                Intercontinental Exchange, or its successor.
5                    (bb) Projected capacity prices:
6                        (I) For the delivery years commencing
7                    June 1, 2017, June 1, 2018, and June 1,
8                    2019, the projected capacity price shall
9                    be equal to the sum of (1) 50% multiplied
10                    by the Base Residual Auction, or its
11                    successor, price for the rest of the RTO
12                    zone group as determined by PJM
13                    Interconnection LLC, divided by 24 hours
14                    per day and, (2) 50% multiplied by the
15                    resource auction price determined in the
16                    resource auction administered by the
17                    Midcontinent Independent System Operator,
18                    Inc., in which the largest percentage of
19                    load cleared for Local Resource Zone 4,
20                    divided by 24 hours per day, and where such
21                    price is determined by the Midcontinent
22                    Independent System Operator, Inc.
23                        (II) For the delivery year commencing
24                    June 1, 2020, and each year thereafter, the
25                    projected capacity price shall be equal to
26                    the sum of (1) 50% multiplied by the Base

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 279 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1                    Residual Auction, or its successor, price
2                    for the ComEd zone as determined by PJM
3                    Interconnection LLC, divided by 24 hours
4                    per day, and (2) 50% multiplied by the
5                    resource auction price determined in the
6                    resource auction administered by the
7                    Midcontinent Independent System Operator,
8                    Inc., in which the largest percentage of
9                    load cleared for Local Resource Zone 4,
10                    divided by 24 hours per day, and where such
11                    price is determined by the Midcontinent
12                    Independent System Operator, Inc.
13            For purposes of this subsection (d-5):
14                "Rest of the RTO" and "ComEd Zone" shall have
15            the meaning ascribed to them by PJM
16            Interconnection, LLC.
17                "RTO" means regional transmission
18            organization.
19            (C) No later than 45 days after June 1, 2017 (the
20        effective date of Public Act 99-906) this amendatory
21        Act of the 99th General Assembly, the Agency shall
22        publish its proposed zero emission standard
23        procurement plan. The plan shall be consistent with the
24        provisions of this paragraph (1) and shall provide that
25        winning bids shall be selected based on public interest
26        criteria that include, but are not limited to,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 280 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        minimizing carbon dioxide emissions that result from
2        electricity consumed in Illinois and minimizing sulfur
3        dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter
4        emissions that adversely affect the citizens of this
5        State. In particular, the selection of winning bids
6        shall take into account the incremental environmental
7        benefits resulting from the procurement, such as any
8        existing environmental benefits that are preserved by
9        the procurements held under Public Act 99-906 this
10        amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly and would
11        cease to exist if the procurements were not held,
12        including the preservation of zero emission
13        facilities. The plan shall also describe in detail how
14        each public interest factor shall be considered and
15        weighted in the bid selection process to ensure that
16        the public interest criteria are applied to the
17        procurement and given full effect.
18            For purposes of developing the plan, the Agency
19        shall consider any reports issued by a State agency,
20        board, or commission under House Resolution 1146 of the
21        98th General Assembly and paragraph (4) of subsection
22        (d) of Section 1-75 of this Act, as well as publicly
23        available analyses and studies performed by or for
24        regional transmission organizations that serve the
25        State and their independent market monitors.
26            Upon publishing of the zero emission standard

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 281 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        procurement plan, copies of the plan shall be posted
2        and made publicly available on the Agency's website.
3        All interested parties shall have 10 days following the
4        date of posting to provide comment to the Agency on the
5        plan. All comments shall be posted to the Agency's
6        website. Following the end of the comment period, but
7        no more than 60 days later than June 1, 2017 (the
8        effective date of Public Act 99-906) this amendatory
9        Act of the 99th General Assembly, the Agency shall
10        revise the plan as necessary based on the comments
11        received and file its zero emission standard
12        procurement plan with the Commission.
13            If the Commission determines that the plan will
14        result in the procurement of cost-effective zero
15        emission credits, then the Commission shall, after
16        notice and hearing, but no later than 45 days after the
17        Agency filed the plan, approve the plan or approve with
18        modification. For purposes of this subsection (d-5),
19        "cost effective" means the projected costs of
20        procuring zero emission credits from zero emission
21        facilities do not cause the limit stated in paragraph
22        (2) of this subsection to be exceeded.
23            (C-5) As part of the Commission's review and
24        acceptance or rejection of the procurement results,
25        the Commission shall, in its public notice of
26        successful bidders:

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 282 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1                (i) identify how the winning bids satisfy the
2            public interest criteria described in subparagraph
3            (C) of this paragraph (1) of minimizing carbon
4            dioxide emissions that result from electricity
5            consumed in Illinois and minimizing sulfur
6            dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter
7            emissions that adversely affect the citizens of
8            this State;
9                (ii) specifically address how the selection of
10            winning bids takes into account the incremental
11            environmental benefits resulting from the
12            procurement, including any existing environmental
13            benefits that are preserved by the procurements
14            held under Public Act 99-906 this amendatory Act of
15            the 99th General Assembly and would have ceased to
16            exist if the procurements had not been held, such
17            as the preservation of zero emission facilities;
18                (iii) quantify the environmental benefit of
19            preserving the resources identified in item (ii)
20            of this subparagraph (C-5), including the
21            following:
22                    (aa) the value of avoided greenhouse gas
23                emissions measured as the product of the zero
24                emission facilities' output over the contract

1            (D) Following the procurement event described in
2        this paragraph (1) and consistent with subparagraph
3        (B) of this paragraph (1), the Agency shall calculate
4        the payments to be made under each contract for the
5        next delivery year based on the market price index for
6        that delivery year. The Agency shall publish the

9            (E) Notwithstanding the requirements of this
10        subsection (d-5), the contracts executed under this
11        subsection (d-5) shall provide that the zero emission
12        facility may, as applicable, suspend or terminate
13        performance under the contracts in the following
14        instances:
15                (i) A zero emission facility shall be excused
16            from its performance under the contract for any
17            cause beyond the control of the resource,
18            including, but not restricted to, acts of God,
19            flood, drought, earthquake, storm, fire,
20            lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance
21            or disobedience, labor dispute, labor or material
22            shortage, sabotage, acts of public enemy,
23            explosions, orders, regulations or restrictions
24            imposed by governmental, military, or lawfully
25            established civilian authorities, which, in any of
26            the foregoing cases, by exercise of commercially

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 286 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            reasonable efforts the zero emission facility
2            could not reasonably have been expected to avoid,
3            and which, by the exercise of commercially
4            reasonable efforts, it has been unable to
5            overcome. In such event, the zero emission
6            facility shall be excused from performance for the
7            duration of the event, including, but not limited
8            to, delivery of zero emission credits, and no
9            payment shall be due to the zero emission facility
10            during the duration of the event.
11                (ii) A zero emission facility shall be
12            permitted to terminate the contract if legislation
13            is enacted into law by the General Assembly that
14            imposes or authorizes a new tax, special
15            assessment, or fee on the generation of
16            electricity, the ownership or leasehold of a
17            generating unit, or the privilege or occupation of
18            such generation, ownership, or leasehold of
19            generation units by a zero emission facility.
20            However, the provisions of this item (ii) do not
21            apply to any generally applicable tax, special
22            assessment or fee, or requirements imposed by
23            federal law.
24                (iii) A zero emission facility shall be
25            permitted to terminate the contract in the event
26            that the resource requires capital expenditures in

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 287 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            excess of $40,000,000 that were neither known nor
2            reasonably foreseeable at the time it executed the
3            contract and that a prudent owner or operator of
4            such resource would not undertake.
5                (iv) A zero emission facility shall be
6            permitted to terminate the contract in the event
7            the Nuclear Regulatory Commission terminates the
8            resource's license.
9            (F) If the zero emission facility elects to
10        terminate a contract under this subparagraph (E, of
11        this paragraph (1), then the Commission shall reopen
12        the docket in which the Commission approved the zero
13        emission standard procurement plan under subparagraph
14        (C) of this paragraph (1) and, after notice and
15        hearing, enter an order acknowledging the contract
16        termination election if such termination is consistent
17        with the provisions of this subsection (d-5).
18        (2) For purposes of this subsection (d-5), the amount
19    paid per kilowatthour means the total amount paid for
20    electric service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For
21    purposes of this subsection (d-5), the total amount paid
22    for electric service includes, without limitation, amounts
23    paid for supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges,
24    and add-on taxes.
25        Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
26    (d-5), the contracts executed under this subsection (d-5)

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 288 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    shall provide that the total of zero emission credits
2    procured under a procurement plan shall be subject to the
3    limitations of this paragraph (2). For each delivery year,
4    the contractual volume receiving payments in such year
5    shall be reduced for all retail customers based on the
6    amount necessary to limit the net increase that delivery
7    year to the costs of those credits included in the amounts
8    paid by eligible retail customers in connection with
9    electric service to no more than 1.65% of the amount paid
10    per kilowatthour by eligible retail customers during the
11    year ending May 31, 2009. The result of this computation
12    shall apply to and reduce the procurement for all retail
13    customers, and all those customers shall pay the same
14    single, uniform cents per kilowatthour charge under
15    subsection (k) of Section 16-108 of the Public Utilities
16    Act. To arrive at a maximum dollar amount of zero emission
17    credits to be paid for the particular delivery year, the
18    resulting per kilowatthour amount shall be applied to the
19    actual amount of kilowatthours of electricity delivered by
20    the electric utility in the delivery year immediately prior
21    to the procurement, to all retail customers in its service
22    territory. Unpaid contractual volume for any delivery year
23    shall be paid in any subsequent delivery year in which such
24    payments can be made without exceeding the amount specified
25    in this paragraph (2). The calculations required by this
26    paragraph (2) shall be made only once for each procurement

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 289 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    plan year. Once the determination as to the amount of zero
2    emission credits to be paid is made based on the
3    calculations set forth in this paragraph (2), no subsequent
4    rate impact determinations shall be made and no adjustments
5    to those contract amounts shall be allowed. All costs
6    incurred under those contracts and in implementing this
7    subsection (d-5) shall be recovered by the electric utility
8    as provided in this Section.
9        No later than June 30, 2019, the Commission shall
10    review the limitation on the amount of zero emission
11    credits procured under this subsection (d-5) and report to
12    the General Assembly its findings as to whether that
13    limitation unduly constrains the procurement of
14    cost-effective zero emission credits.
15        (3) Six years after the execution of a contract under
16    this subsection (d-5), the Agency shall determine whether
17    the actual zero emission credit payments received by the
18    supplier over the 6-year period exceed the Average ZEC
19    Payment. In addition, at the end of the term of a contract
20    executed under this subsection (d-5), or at the time, if
21    any, a zero emission facility's contract is terminated
22    under subparagraph (E) of paragraph (1) of this subsection
23    (d-5), then the Agency shall determine whether the actual
24    zero emission credit payments received by the supplier over
25    the term of the contract exceed the Average ZEC Payment,
26    after taking into account any amounts previously credited

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 290 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    back to the utility under this paragraph (3). If the Agency
2    determines that the actual zero emission credit payments
3    received by the supplier over the relevant period exceed
4    the Average ZEC Payment, then the supplier shall credit the
5    difference back to the utility. The amount of the credit
6    shall be remitted to the applicable electric utility no
7    later than 120 days after the Agency's determination, which
8    the utility shall reflect as a credit on its retail
9    customer bills as soon as practicable; however, the credit
10    remitted to the utility shall not exceed the total amount
11    of payments received by the facility under its contract.
12        For purposes of this Section, the Average ZEC Payment
13    shall be calculated by multiplying the quantity of zero
14    emission credits delivered under the contract times the
15    average contract price. The average contract price shall be
16    determined by subtracting the amount calculated under
17    subparagraph (B) of this paragraph (3) from the amount
18    calculated under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph (3), as
19    follows:
20            (A) The average of the Social Cost of Carbon, as
21        defined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of this
22        subsection (d-5), during the term of the contract.
23            (B) The average of the market price indices, as
24        defined in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of this
25        subsection (d-5), during the term of the contract,
26        minus the baseline market price index, as defined in

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 291 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of this subsection
2        (d-5).
3    If the subtraction yields a negative number, then the
4Average ZEC Payment shall be zero.
5        (4) Cost-effective zero emission credits procured from
6    zero emission facilities shall satisfy the applicable
7    definitions set forth in Section 1-10 of this Act.
8        (5) The electric utility shall retire all zero emission
9    credits used to comply with the requirements of this
10    subsection (d-5).
11        (6) Electric utilities shall be entitled to recover all
12    of the costs associated with the procurement of zero
13    emission credits through an automatic adjustment clause
14    tariff in accordance with subsection (k) and (m) of Section
15    16-108 of the Public Utilities Act, and the contracts
16    executed under this subsection (d-5) shall provide that the
17    utilities' payment obligations under such contracts shall
18    be reduced if an adjustment is required under subsection
19    (m) of Section 16-108 of the Public Utilities Act.
20        (7) This subsection (d-5) shall become inoperative on
21    January 1, 2028.
22    (e) The draft procurement plans are subject to public
23comment, as required by Section 16-111.5 of the Public
24Utilities Act.
25    (f) The Agency shall submit the final procurement plan to
26the Commission. The Agency shall revise a procurement plan if

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 292 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the Commission determines that it does not meet the standards
2set forth in Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
3    (g) The Agency shall assess fees to each affected utility
4to recover the costs incurred in preparation of the annual
5procurement plan for the utility.
6    (h) The Agency shall assess fees to each bidder to recover
7the costs incurred in connection with a competitive procurement
8process.
9    (i) A renewable energy credit, carbon emission credit, or
10zero emission credit can only be used once to comply with a
11single portfolio or other standard as set forth in subsection
12(c), subsection (d), or subsection (d-5) of this Section,
13respectively. A renewable energy credit, carbon emission
14credit, or zero emission credit cannot be used to satisfy the
15requirements of more than one standard. If more than one type
16of credit is issued for the same megawatt hour of energy, only
17one credit can be used to satisfy the requirements of a single
18standard. After such use, the credit must be retired together
19with any other credits issued for the same megawatt hour of
20energy.

23contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such
24arrangements, but only under circumstances where the Director
25of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget certifies
26that he or she reasonably expects the total interest paid or to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 357 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1be paid on the Bonds, together with the fees for the
2arrangements (being treated as if interest), would not, taken
3together, cause the Bonds to bear interest, calculated to their
4stated maturity, at a rate in excess of the rate that the Bonds
5would bear in the absence of such arrangements.
6    The State may, with respect to Bonds issued or anticipated
7to be issued, participate in and enter into arrangements with

13by law. The arrangements may be executed and delivered by the
14Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget on
15behalf of the State. Net payments for such arrangements shall

24pursuant to subsection (a), the Director of the Governor's
25Office of Management and Budget shall adopt an interest rate
26risk management policy providing that the amount of the State's

1variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds shall not exceed
220%. This policy shall remain in effect while any Bonds are
3outstanding and the issuance of Bonds shall be subject to the
4terms of such policy. The terms of this policy may be amended

18or claimants received related to investments in that business.

12    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 100-363)
13    Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
14and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
15of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
16the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
17amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
18when he is required to file his return for the period during
19which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
20January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
21per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
22reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
23tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
24the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. In the
25case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 471 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
2discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
3of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount
4allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are
5filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
6disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
7registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
8only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
9registration has become final. A retailer need not remit that
10part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is
11required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the
12Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the
13same property.
14    Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
15conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
16wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
17extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
18filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
19vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
20to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
21each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
22the selling price actually received during such tax return
23period.
24    Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
25twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
26a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 472 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
2such information as the Department may reasonably require. On
3and after January 1, 2018, except for returns for motor
4vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
5to be registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
6retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,
7all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
8filed electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do
9not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in
10filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the
11electronic filing requirement.
12    The Department may require returns to be filed on a
13quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
14quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
15calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
16taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
17of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
18the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
19        1. The name of the seller;
20        2. The address of the principal place of business from
21    which he engages in the business of selling tangible
22    personal property at retail in this State;
23        3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
24    during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
25    personal property by him during such preceding calendar
26    month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 473 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    less all deductions allowed by law;
2        4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
3    Act;
4        5. The amount of tax due;
5        5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
6        6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
7    may require.
8    If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
9the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
10the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
11due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
12    Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
13monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
14payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
15funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has

22an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
23payments required by rules of the Department by electronic

HB5447 Engrossed- 474 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
2The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
3taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
4State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
5Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
6divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
7a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
8Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
9all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
10funds transfer.
11    Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
12Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
13by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
14payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
15for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
16    Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
17funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
18with the permission of the Department.
19    All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
20transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
21payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
22in the manner authorized by the Department.
23    The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
24effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
25requirements of this Section.
26    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly

1tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
2Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service
3Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
4calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
5each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
6month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
7make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
822nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
9incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
10average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
11the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
12Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
13preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
14with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
15next following the month during which such tax liability is
16incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
17the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
18liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
19liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
20payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
21actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
22Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
23of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
24calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
25the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
26month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 476 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
2payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
3actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
4liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
5the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
6or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
7payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
8actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
9liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
10the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
11or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
12begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
13amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
14the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
15calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
16such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
171989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
18amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
19the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
20calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
21actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
22amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
23against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
24that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
25requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
26Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 477 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
2complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
3liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
4$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
5the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
6preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
7$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
8substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
9which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
10monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
11will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
12taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
13taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
14applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
15payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
16average monthly liability to the Department during the
17preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
18highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
19than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
20to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
214 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
22$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
23substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
24which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
25monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
26will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 478 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
2taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
3taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
4seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
5quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
6amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
7liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
8minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
9payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
10taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
11Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
12provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
13rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
14amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
15on other than a calendar monthly basis.
16    If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
17the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
18Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
19Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
20the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
21no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
22memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
23in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
24taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
25similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
26Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 479 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
2prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
3payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
4after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
5unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
6the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
7liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
8Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
9the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
10accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
11the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
12all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
13taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
14be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
15credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
16liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
17    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
18return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
19the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
20authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
21with the return for January, February, and March of a given
22year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
23April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
24year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
25year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
26for October, November and December of a given year being due by

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 480 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1January 20 of the following year.
2    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
3quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
4liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
5may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
6the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
7following year.
8    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
9substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
10returns.
11    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
12the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
13case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
14which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
15such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
16Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
17business.
18    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
19aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
20an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
21tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
22upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
23separate return for each such item of tangible personal
24property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
25transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
26vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,

1watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
2watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
3of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
4vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
5watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
6a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
7Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
8aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
9that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
10invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
11this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
12watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
13and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
14with an inboard motor.
15    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
16vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
17agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
18Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
19Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
20and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
21including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
22property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
23traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
24which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
25of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
26trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 482 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
2amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
3such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
4due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
5fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
6identification of the property sold; such other information as
7is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
8such other information as the Department may reasonably
9require.
10    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
11and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
12name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
13price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
14traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
15for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
16extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
17the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
18deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
19the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
20transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
21the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
22such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
23claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
24sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
25information as the Department may reasonably require.
26    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 483 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
2being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
3than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
4return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
5that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
6Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
7officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
8titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
9if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
10that this procedure will expedite the processing of
11applications for title or registration.
12    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
13shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
14satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
15the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
16Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
17(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
18that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
19may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
20whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
21that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
22support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
23certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
24tangible personal property.
25    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
26Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 484 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
2evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
3is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
4paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
5Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
6mandate of this paragraph.
7    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
8wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
9tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
10retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
11paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
12of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
13being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
14the information required by the transaction reporting return
15and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
16the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
17determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
18and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
19credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
20with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
21provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays

14vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
15to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for

1month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
2make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
322nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
4incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
5average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
6the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
7Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
8preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
9with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
10next following the month during which such tax liability is
11incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
12the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
13liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
14liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
15payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
16actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
17Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
18of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
19calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
20the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
21month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
22after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
23payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
24actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
25liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
26the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 503 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
2payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
3actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
4liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
5the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
6or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
7begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
8amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
9the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
10calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
11such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
121989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
13amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
14the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
15calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
16actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
17amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
18against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
19that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
20requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
21Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
22monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
23complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
24liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
25$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
26the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 504 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
2$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
3substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
4which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
5monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
6will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
7taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
8taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
9applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
10payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
11average monthly liability to the Department during the
12preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
13highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
14than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
15to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
164 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
17$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
18substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
19which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
20monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
21will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
22taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
23taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
24taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
25seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
26quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 505 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
2liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
3minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
4payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
5taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
6Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
7provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
8rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
9amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
10on other than a calendar monthly basis.
11    If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
12the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
13Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
14Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
15the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
16no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
17memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
18in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
19taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
20similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
21Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
22in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
23prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
24payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
25after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
26unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 506 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
2liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
3Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
4the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
5accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
6the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
7all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
8taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
9be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
10credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
11liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
12    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
13return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
14the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
15authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
16with the return for January, February, and March of a given
17year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
18April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
19year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
20year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
21for October, November and December of a given year being due by
22January 20 of the following year.
23    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
24quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
25liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
26may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 507 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
2following year.
3    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
4substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
5returns.
6    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
7the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
8case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
9which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
10such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
11Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
12business.
13    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
14aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
15an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
16tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
17upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
18separate return for each such item of tangible personal
19property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
20transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
21vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
22watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
23watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
24of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
25vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
26watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 508 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
2Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
3aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
4that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
5invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
6this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
7watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
8and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
9with an inboard motor.
10    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
11vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
12agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
13Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
14Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
15and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
16including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
17property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
18traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
19which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
20of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
21trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
22tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
23amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
24such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
25due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
26fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 509 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1identification of the property sold; such other information as
2is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
3such other information as the Department may reasonably
4require.
5    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
6and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
7name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
8price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
9traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
10for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
11extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
12the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
13deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
14the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
15transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
16the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
17such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
18claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
19sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
20information as the Department may reasonably require.
21    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
22than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
23being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
24than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
25return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
26that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 510 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
2officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
3titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
4if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
5that this procedure will expedite the processing of
6applications for title or registration.
7    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
8shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
9satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
10the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
11Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
12(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
13that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
14may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
15whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
16that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
17support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
18certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
19tangible personal property.
20    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
21Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
22retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
23evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
24is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
25paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
26Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 511 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1mandate of this paragraph.
2    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
3wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
4tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
5retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
6paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
7of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
8being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
9the information required by the transaction reporting return
10and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
11the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
12determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
13and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
14credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
15with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
16provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
17the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
18same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
19if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
20    Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
21selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
22the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
23property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
24the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
25purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
26his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 512 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
2refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
3such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
4Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
5to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
6such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
7amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
8deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
9purchaser.
10    Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
11include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
12covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
13personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
14but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
15from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
16remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
17return.
18    If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
19Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
20return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
21returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
22Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
23Acts on the one form.
24    Where the retailer has more than one business registered
25with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
26such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 513 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
2separate returns for each such registered business.

22pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to
23an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the
24net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of

20of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he

10required to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service
11Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of service
12involving the incidental transfer by him of the same property.

4calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
5taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each

5funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
6an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
7all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
8funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
9an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
10payments required by rules of the Department by electronic

12sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
13other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
14by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.

7transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
8payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
9in the manner authorized by the Department.
10    The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
11effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
12requirements of this Section.
13    If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
14return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
15the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
16authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
17with the return for January, February and March of a given year
18being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
19May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
20with the return for July, August and September of a given year
21being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
22October, November and December of a given year being due by
23January 20 of the following year.

HB5447 Engrossed- 543 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
2the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
3following year.
4    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
5substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
6returns.
7    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
8the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
9case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
10business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
11this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
12Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
13discontinuing such business.
14    Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
15selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
16thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
17selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
18also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
19purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
20refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
21the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
22any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
23occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
24to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
25provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall

3entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to
4the purchaser.
5    Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also include
6the total tax upon the selling price of tangible personal
7property purchased for use by him as an incident to a sale of
8service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of such tax
9to the Department when filing such return.

11Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
12return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
13returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
14Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
15Acts on the one form.
16    Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
17with the Department under separate registration hereunder,
18such serviceman shall not file each return that is due as a
19single return covering all such registered businesses, but
20shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

15the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
16of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
17is required to file his return for the period during which such
18tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,

4funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
5an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all

7effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
8requirements of this Section.
9    If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
10return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
11the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
12authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
13with the return for January, February and March of a given year
14being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
15May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;

HB5447 Engrossed- 559 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
2returns.
3    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
4the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
5case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
6business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
7this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
8Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
9discontinuing such business.
10    Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
11selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
12thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
13selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
14also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
15purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
16refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
17the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
18any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
19occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
20to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
21provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall
22previously have been remitted to the Department by such

7Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
8return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
9returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
10Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
11Acts on the one form.
12    Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
13with the Department under separate registration hereunder,

1requested by the Department at any time, that person shall
2verify the total number of vending machines he or she uses in
3his or her business of selling tangible personal property at

5    The Department may deny a certificate of registration to
6any applicant if a person who is named as the owner, a partner,
7a manager or member of a limited liability company, or a
8corporate officer of the applicant on the application for the
9certificate of registration is or has been named as the owner,

11or a corporate officer on the application for the certificate
12of registration of another retailer that is in default for
13moneys due under this Act or any other tax or fee Act
14administered by the Department. For purposes of this paragraph
15only, in determining whether a person is in default for moneys
16due, the Department shall include only amounts established as a
17final liability within the 20 years prior to the date of the
18Department's notice of denial of a certificate of registration.
19    The Department may require an applicant for a certificate
20of registration hereunder to, at the time of filing such
21application, furnish a bond from a surety company authorized to

23letter of credit or a bond signed by 2 personal sureties who

HB5447 Engrossed- 642 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1assignment of a bank account or certificate of deposit, stocks
2or bonds, conditioned upon the applicant paying to the State of
3Illinois all moneys becoming due under this Act and under any
4other State tax law or municipal or county tax ordinance or
5resolution under which the certificate of registration that is
6issued to the applicant under this Act will permit the
7applicant to engage in business without registering separately
8under such other law, ordinance or resolution. In making a
9determination as to whether to require a bond or other
10security, the Department shall take into consideration whether
11the owner, any partner, any manager or member of a limited
12liability company, or a corporate officer of the applicant is
13or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or member of a
14limited liability company, or a corporate officer of another
15retailer that is in default for moneys due under this Act or
16any other tax or fee Act administered by the Department; and
17whether the owner, any partner, any manager or member of a
18limited liability company, or a corporate officer of the
19applicant is or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or
20member of a limited liability company, or a corporate officer
21of another retailer whose certificate of registration has been
22revoked within the previous 5 years under this Act or any other
23tax or fee Act administered by the Department. If a bond or
24other security is required, the Department shall fix the amount
25of the bond or other security, taking into consideration the
26amount of money expected to become due from the applicant under

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 643 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1this Act and under any other State tax law or municipal or
2county tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate
3of registration that is issued to the applicant under this Act
4will permit the applicant to engage in business without
5registering separately under such other law, ordinance, or
6resolution. The amount of security required by the Department
7shall be such as, in its opinion, will protect the State of
8Illinois against failure to pay the amount which may become due
9from the applicant under this Act and under any other State tax
10law or municipal or county tax ordinance or resolution under
11which the certificate of registration that is issued to the
12applicant under this Act will permit the applicant to engage in
13business without registering separately under such other law,
14ordinance or resolution, but the amount of the security
15required by the Department shall not exceed three times the
16amount of the applicant's average monthly tax liability, or
17$50,000.00, whichever amount is lower.
18    No certificate of registration under this Act shall be
19issued by the Department until the applicant provides the
20Department with satisfactory security, if required, as herein
21provided for.
22    Upon receipt of the application for certificate of
23registration in proper form, and upon approval by the
24Department of the security furnished by the applicant, if
25required, the Department shall issue to such applicant a
26certificate of registration which shall permit the person to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 644 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1whom it is issued to engage in the business of selling tangible
2personal property at retail in this State. The certificate of
3registration shall be conspicuously displayed at the place of
4business which the person so registered states in his
5application to be the principal place of business from which he
6engages in the business of selling tangible personal property
7at retail in this State.
8    No certificate of registration issued prior to July 1, 2017
9to a taxpayer who files returns required by this Act on a
10monthly basis or renewed prior to July 1, 2017 by a taxpayer
11who files returns required by this Act on a monthly basis shall
12be valid after the expiration of 5 years from the date of its
13issuance or last renewal. No certificate of registration issued
14on or after July 1, 2017 to a taxpayer who files returns
15required by this Act on a monthly basis or renewed on or after
16July 1, 2017 by a taxpayer who files returns required by this
17Act on a monthly basis shall be valid after the expiration of
18one year from the date of its issuance or last renewal. The
19expiration date of a sub-certificate of registration shall be
20that of the certificate of registration to which the
21sub-certificate relates. Prior to July 1, 2017, a certificate
22of registration shall automatically be renewed, subject to
23revocation as provided by this Act, for an additional 5 years
24from the date of its expiration unless otherwise notified by
25the Department as provided by this paragraph. On and after July
261, 2017, a certificate of registration shall automatically be

1renewed, subject to revocation as provided by this Act, for an
2additional one year from the date of its expiration unless
3otherwise notified by the Department as provided by this
4paragraph.
5    Where a taxpayer to whom a certificate of registration is
6issued under this Act is in default to the State of Illinois
7for delinquent returns or for moneys due under this Act or any
8other State tax law or municipal or county ordinance
9administered or enforced by the Department, the Department
10shall, not less than 60 days before the expiration date of such
11certificate of registration, give notice to the taxpayer to
12whom the certificate was issued of the account period of the
13delinquent returns, the amount of tax, penalty and interest due
14and owing from the taxpayer, and that the certificate of
15registration shall not be automatically renewed upon its
16expiration date unless the taxpayer, on or before the date of
17expiration, has filed and paid the delinquent returns or paid
18the defaulted amount in full. A taxpayer to whom such a notice
19is issued shall be deemed an applicant for renewal. The
20Department shall promulgate regulations establishing
21procedures for taxpayers who file returns on a monthly basis
22but desire and qualify to change to a quarterly or yearly
23filing basis and will no longer be subject to renewal under
24this Section, and for taxpayers who file returns on a yearly or
25quarterly basis but who desire or are required to change to a
26monthly filing basis and will be subject to renewal under this

1Section.
2    The Department may in its discretion approve renewal by an
3applicant who is in default if, at the time of application for
4renewal, the applicant files all of the delinquent returns or
5pays to the Department such percentage of the defaulted amount
6as may be determined by the Department and agrees in writing to
7waive all limitations upon the Department for collection of the
8remaining defaulted amount to the Department over a period not
9to exceed 5 years from the date of renewal of the certificate;
10however, no renewal application submitted by an applicant who
11is in default shall be approved if the immediately preceding
12renewal by the applicant was conditioned upon the installment
13payment agreement described in this Section. The payment
14agreement herein provided for shall be in addition to and not
15in lieu of the security that may be required by this Section of
16a taxpayer who is no longer considered a prior continuous
17compliance taxpayer. The execution of the payment agreement as
18provided in this Act shall not toll the accrual of interest at
19the statutory rate.
20    The Department may suspend a certificate of registration if
21the Department finds that the person to whom the certificate of
22registration has been issued knowingly sold contraband
23cigarettes.
24    A certificate of registration issued under this Act more
25than 5 years before January 1, 1990 (the effective date of
26Public Act 86-383) this amendatory Act of 1989 shall expire and

2next anniversary of the date of issuance of such certificate
3which occurs more than 6 months after January 1, 1990 (the
4effective date of Public Act 86-383) this amendatory Act of
51989. A certificate of registration issued less than 5 years
6before January 1, 1990 (the effective date of Public Act
786-383) this amendatory Act of 1989 shall expire and be subject
8to the renewal provisions of this Section on the 5th
9anniversary of the issuance of the certificate.
10    If the person so registered states that he operates other
11places of business from which he engages in the business of
12selling tangible personal property at retail in this State, the
13Department shall furnish him with a sub-certificate of
14registration for each such place of business, and the applicant
15shall display the appropriate sub-certificate of registration
16at each such place of business. All sub-certificates of
17registration shall bear the same registration number as that
18appearing upon the certificate of registration to which such
19sub-certificates relate.
20    If the applicant will sell tangible personal property at
21retail through vending machines, the Department shall furnish
22him with a sub-certificate of registration for each such
23vending machine, and the applicant shall display the
24appropriate sub-certificate of registration on each such
25vending machine by attaching the sub-certificate of
26registration to a conspicuous part of such vending machine. If

2at retail through vending machines adds an additional vending
3machine or additional vending machines to the number of vending
4machines he or she uses in his or her business of selling
5tangible personal property at retail, he or she shall notify
6the Department, on a form prescribed by the Department, to
7request an additional sub-certificate or additional
8sub-certificates of registration, as applicable. With each
9such request, the applicant shall report the number of
10sub-certificates of registration he or she is requesting as
11well as the total number of vending machines from which he or
12she makes retail sales.
13    Where the same person engages in 2 or more businesses of
14selling tangible personal property at retail in this State,
15which businesses are substantially different in character or
16engaged in under different trade names or engaged in under
17other substantially dissimilar circumstances (so that it is
18more practicable, from an accounting, auditing or bookkeeping
19standpoint, for such businesses to be separately registered),
20the Department may require or permit such person (subject to
21the same requirements concerning the furnishing of security as
22those that are provided for hereinbefore in this Section as to
23each application for a certificate of registration) to apply
24for and obtain a separate certificate of registration for each
25such business or for any of such businesses, under a single
26certificate of registration supplemented by related

1sub-certificates of registration.
2    Any person who is registered under the "Retailers'
3Occupation Tax Act" as of March 8, 1963, and who, during the
43-year period immediately prior to March 8, 1963, or during a
5continuous 3-year period part of which passed immediately
6before and the remainder of which passes immediately after
7March 8, 1963, has been so registered continuously and who is
8determined by the Department not to have been either delinquent
9or deficient in the payment of tax liability during that period
10under this Act or under any other State tax law or municipal or
11county tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate
12of registration that is issued to the registrant under this Act
13will permit the registrant to engage in business without
14registering separately under such other law, ordinance or
15resolution, shall be considered to be a Prior Continuous
16Compliance taxpayer. Also any taxpayer who has, as verified by
17the Department, faithfully and continuously complied with the
18condition of his bond or other security under the provisions of
19this Act for a period of 3 consecutive years shall be
20considered to be a Prior Continuous Compliance taxpayer.
21    Every Prior Continuous Compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
22from all requirements under this Act concerning the furnishing
23of a bond or other security as a condition precedent to his
24being authorized to engage in the business of selling tangible
25personal property at retail in this State. This exemption shall
26continue for each such taxpayer until such time as he may be

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 650 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1determined by the Department to be delinquent in the filing of
2any returns, or is determined by the Department (either through
3the Department's issuance of a final assessment which has
4become final under the Act, or by the taxpayer's filing of a
5return which admits tax that is not paid to be due) to be
6delinquent or deficient in the paying of any tax under this Act
7or under any other State tax law or municipal or county tax
8ordinance or resolution under which the certificate of
9registration that is issued to the registrant under this Act
10will permit the registrant to engage in business without
11registering separately under such other law, ordinance or
12resolution, at which time that taxpayer shall become subject to
13all the financial responsibility requirements of this Act and,
14as a condition of being allowed to continue to engage in the
15business of selling tangible personal property at retail, may
16be required to post bond or other acceptable security with the
17Department covering liability which such taxpayer may
18thereafter incur. Any taxpayer who fails to pay an admitted or
19established liability under this Act may also be required to
20post bond or other acceptable security with this Department
21guaranteeing the payment of such admitted or established
22liability.
23    No certificate of registration shall be issued to any
24person who is in default to the State of Illinois for moneys
25due under this Act or under any other State tax law or
26municipal or county tax ordinance or resolution under which the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 651 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1certificate of registration that is issued to the applicant
2under this Act will permit the applicant to engage in business
3without registering separately under such other law, ordinance
4or resolution.
5    Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Department
6under this Section may, within 20 days after notice of such
7decision, protest and request a hearing, whereupon the
8Department shall give notice to such person of the time and
9place fixed for such hearing and shall hold a hearing in
10conformity with the provisions of this Act and then issue its
11final administrative decision in the matter to such person. In
12the absence of such a protest within 20 days, the Department's
13decision shall become final without any further determination
14being made or notice given.
15    With respect to security other than bonds (upon which the
16Department may sue in the event of a forfeiture), if the
17taxpayer fails to pay, when due, any amount whose payment such
18security guarantees, the Department shall, after such
19liability is admitted by the taxpayer or established by the
20Department through the issuance of a final assessment that has
21become final under the law, convert the security which that
22taxpayer has furnished into money for the State, after first
23giving the taxpayer at least 10 days' written notice, by
24registered or certified mail, to pay the liability or forfeit
25such security to the Department. If the security consists of
26stocks or bonds or other securities which are listed on a

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 652 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1public exchange, the Department shall sell such securities
2through such public exchange. If the security consists of an
3irrevocable bank letter of credit, the Department shall convert
4the security in the manner provided for in the Uniform
5Commercial Code. If the security consists of a bank certificate
6of deposit, the Department shall convert the security into
7money by demanding and collecting the amount of such bank
8certificate of deposit from the bank which issued such
9certificate. If the security consists of a type of stocks or
10other securities which are not listed on a public exchange, the
11Department shall sell such security to the highest and best
12bidder after giving at least 10 days' notice of the date, time
13and place of the intended sale by publication in the "State
14Official Newspaper". If the Department realizes more than the
15amount of such liability from the security, plus the expenses
16incurred by the Department in converting the security into
17money, the Department shall pay such excess to the taxpayer who
18furnished such security, and the balance shall be paid into the
19State Treasury.
20    The Department shall discharge any surety and shall release
21and return any security deposited, assigned, pledged or
22otherwise provided to it by a taxpayer under this Section
23within 30 days after:
24        (1) such taxpayer becomes a Prior Continuous
25    Compliance taxpayer; or
26        (2) such taxpayer has ceased to collect receipts on

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 653 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    which he is required to remit tax to the Department, has
2    filed a final tax return, and has paid to the Department an
3    amount sufficient to discharge his remaining tax
4    liability, as determined by the Department, under this Act
5    and under every other State tax law or municipal or county
6    tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate of
7    registration issued under this Act permits the registrant
8    to engage in business without registering separately under
9    such other law, ordinance or resolution. The Department
10    shall make a final determination of the taxpayer's
11    outstanding tax liability as expeditiously as possible
12    after his final tax return has been filed; if the
13    Department cannot make such final determination within 45
14    days after receiving the final tax return, within such
15    period it shall so notify the taxpayer, stating its reasons
16    therefor.

16The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of
17the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
18State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
19Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
20divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has

20less than 50 cents.
21    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
22return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
23the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
24authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
25with the return for January, February and March of a given year

18which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
19such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
20Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
21business.
22    Where the same person has more than one business registered
23with the Department under separate registrations under this

1    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
2aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
3an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
4tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
5upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
6separate return for each such item of tangible personal
7property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same

9vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
10watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
11watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
12purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
13motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
14watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
15a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
16Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
17watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
18transaction to the Department on the same uniform
19invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
20this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
21watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
22and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped

2transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
3to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
4quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
5to file returns on an annual basis.
6    The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
7vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
8agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
9Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle
10Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
11and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
12including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
13property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
14traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
15which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
16of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
17trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
18tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
19amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
20such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
21due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
22fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
23identification of the property sold; such other information as
24is required in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and
25such other information as the Department may reasonably
26require.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 664 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
2or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
3name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
4price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
5traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
6for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
7extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
8the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
9deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
10the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
11transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
12the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
13such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
14claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
15sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
16information as the Department may reasonably require.
17    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
18than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
19being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
20than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
21return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
22Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
23the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
24tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
25titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
26agency or State officer determine that this procedure will

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 665 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1expedite the processing of applications for title or
2registration.
3    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
4shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
5satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
6the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
7Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
8receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
9satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
10purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
11with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
12property that is involved (if titling or registration is
13required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
14Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
15to such tangible personal property.
16    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
17Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
18retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
19evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
20is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
21paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
22Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
23mandate of this paragraph.
24    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
25wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
26the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 666 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
2paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
3of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
4being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
5the information required by the transaction reporting return
6and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
7the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
8determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
9and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
10credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
11with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
12provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
13the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
14same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
15if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
16    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
17period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
18returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
19subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
20may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
21receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
22return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
23with respect to such receipts.
24    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
25behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
26vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 667 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1accredited agent of such corporation.
2    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
3filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
4signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
5the limited liability company.
6    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
7return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
8return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
9Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
10on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
11whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
12retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
13preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
14data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
15to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
16which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
17retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
18transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
19shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
20such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
21under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
22in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow
23the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is
24revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
25Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
26registration has become final.

23liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
24payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
25actual liability for the month or an amount set by the

6payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
7actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
8liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
9the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on

11payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
12actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
13liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
14the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
15or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
16begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an

HB5447 Engrossed- 670 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
2that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
3requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
4Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
5of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
6shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
7to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
8quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
9month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
10taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
11computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
12calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
13taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
14the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
15to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
16reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
17threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
18Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
19and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
20the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
21taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
22more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
23until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
24Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
25(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
26lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's

1average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
2each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
3quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
4show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
5business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
6that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
7foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
8above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
9change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
10shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
11that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
12long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
13the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
14taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
15difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
16amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
17paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
18payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
19minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
20The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
21govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
22payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
23monthly basis.
24    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
252001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
26quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who

1is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
2prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
3excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
4calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
5required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
6Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
7month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
8during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
9September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
10each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
11taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
12during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
13January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
1422.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
15of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
16preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
17liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
18payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
19actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
20liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
21The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
22against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
23that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
24may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
25quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this

3monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
4required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
5interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
6previously made payments for that month in excess of the
7minimum payments previously due.
8    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
91, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
10make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
11who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
12prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
13excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
14calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
15required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
16Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
17month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
18shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
19liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for

21the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
22final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
23filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
24Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter

12payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
13impose this requirement when it finds that there is a

1less than 50 cents.
2    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
3return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
4the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
5authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
6with the return for January, February and March of a given year
7being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
8May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
9with the return for July, August and September of a given year
10being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
11October, November and December of a given year being due by
12January 20 of the following year.
13    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
14quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
15liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
16Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual

23the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
24case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
25which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
26such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 698 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
2business.
3    Where the same person has more than one business registered
4with the Department under separate registrations under this
5Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
6single return covering all such registered businesses, but
7shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
8    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
9aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
10an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of
11tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
12upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
13separate return for each such item of tangible personal
14property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
15transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
16vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
17watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
18watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer retailer for the
19purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft,
20motor vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
21watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
22a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 2-5 of this
23Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all aircraft,
24watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in that
25transaction to the Department on the same uniform
26invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 699 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
2watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
3and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
4with an inboard motor.
5    Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
6aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
7an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
8liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such
9transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
10to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
11quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
12to file returns on an annual basis.
13    The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
14vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
15agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
16Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle
17Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
18and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
19including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
20property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
21traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
22which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
23of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
24trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
25tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
26amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 700 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
2due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
3fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
4identification of the property sold; such other information as
5is required in Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and
6such other information as the Department may reasonably
7require.
8    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
9or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
10name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
11price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
12traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
13for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
14extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
15the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
16deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
17the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
18transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
19the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
20such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
21claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
22sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
23information as the Department may reasonably require.
24    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
25than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
26being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 701 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
2return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
3Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
4the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
5tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
6titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
7agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
8expedite the processing of applications for title or
9registration.
10    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
11shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
12satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
13the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
14Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
15receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
16satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
17purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
18with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
19property that is involved (if titling or registration is
20required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
21Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
22to such tangible personal property.
23    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
24Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
25retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
26evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 702 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
2paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
3Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
4mandate of this paragraph.
5    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
6wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
7the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
8retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
9paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
10of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
11being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
12the information required by the transaction reporting return
13and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
14the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
15determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
16and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
17credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
18with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
19provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
20the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
21same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
22if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
23    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
24period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
25returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
26subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 703 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
2receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
3return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
4with respect to such receipts.
5    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
6behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
7vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
8accredited agent of such corporation.
9    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
10filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
11signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
12the limited liability company.
13    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
14return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
15return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
16Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
17on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
18whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
19retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
20preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
21data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
22to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
23which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
24retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
25transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
26shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 704 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
2under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
3in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow
4the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is
5revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
6Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
7registration has become final.
8    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
9tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
10Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
11Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
12remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
13or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
14shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
15day of the month next following the month during which such tax
16liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
17on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
18during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
191, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
20Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
21Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
22liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
23with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
24preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
25with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
26next following the month during which such tax liability is

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 705 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
2the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
3liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
4liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
5payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
7Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
8of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
9calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
10the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
11month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
12after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
13payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
14actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
15liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
16the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
17or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
18payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
19actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
20liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
21the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
22or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
23begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
24amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
25the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
26calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 706 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
21989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
3amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
4the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
5calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
7amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
8against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
9that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
10requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
11Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
12of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
13shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
14to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
15quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
16month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
17taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
18computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
19calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
20taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
21the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
22to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
23reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
24threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
25Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
26and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 707 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
2taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
3more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
4until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
5Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
6(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
7lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
8average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
9each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
10quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
11show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
12business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
13that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
14foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
15above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
16change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
17shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
18that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
19long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
20the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
21taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
22difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
23amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
24paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
25payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
26minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 708 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
2govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
3payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
4monthly basis.
5    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
62001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
7quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who

9prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
10excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
11calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
12required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
13Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
14month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
15during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
16September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
17each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
18taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
19during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
20January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
2122.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
22of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
23preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
24liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each

2The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
3against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
4that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
5may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
6quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
7paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
8prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
9calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
10monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
11required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
12interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
13previously made payments for that month in excess of the
14minimum payments previously due.
15    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October

17make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
18who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
19prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
20excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
21calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
22required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the

HB5447 Engrossed- 710 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
2the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
3final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
4filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
5Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
6monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
7shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
8collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
9(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
10lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
11average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
12each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
13quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
14payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
15taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
16difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
17payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
18previously due.
19    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
20taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
21Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
22shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
23requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
24memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
25credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by

4taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
5subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
6the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
7Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
8regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
9subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
10taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
11and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
12of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
13due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
14interest on such difference.
15    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
16Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
17to the Department under this Act for the month which the
18taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
19taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

20counties having fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
21applicant fails to file the application required by this
22Section in a timely manner and this failure to file is due to a
23mental or physical condition sufficiently severe so as to
24render the applicant incapable of filing the application in a
25timely manner, the Chief County Assessment Officer may extend
26the filing deadline for a period of 30 days after the applicant

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 736 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

6the applicant's physician, advanced practice registered nurse,
7or physician assistant stating the nature and extent of the
8condition, that, in the physician's, advanced practice
9registered nurse's, or physician assistant's opinion, the
10condition was so severe that it rendered the applicant
11incapable of filing the application in a timely manner, and the
12date on which the applicant regained the capability to file the
13application.
14    Beginning January 1, 1998, notwithstanding any other
15provision to the contrary, in counties having fewer than
163,000,000 inhabitants, if an applicant fails to file the
17application required by this Section in a timely manner and
18this failure to file is due to a mental or physical condition
19sufficiently severe so as to render the applicant incapable of
20filing the application in a timely manner, the Chief County
21Assessment Officer may extend the filing deadline for a period
22of 3 months. In order to receive the extension provided in this
23paragraph, the applicant shall provide the Chief County
24Assessment Officer with a signed statement from the applicant's
25physician, advanced practice registered nurse, or physician
26assistant stating the nature and extent of the condition, and

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 737 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1that, in the physician's, advanced practice registered
2nurse's, or physician assistant's opinion, the condition was so
3severe that it rendered the applicant incapable of filing the
4application in a timely manner.
5    In counties having less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, if an
6applicant was denied an exemption in taxable year 1994 and the
7denial occurred due to an error on the part of an assessment
8official, or his or her agent or employee, then beginning in
9taxable year 1997 the applicant's base year, for purposes of
10determining the amount of the exemption, shall be 1993 rather
11than 1994. In addition, in taxable year 1997, the applicant's
12exemption shall also include an amount equal to (i) the amount
13of any exemption denied to the applicant in taxable year 1995
14as a result of using 1994, rather than 1993, as the base year,
15(ii) the amount of any exemption denied to the applicant in
16taxable year 1996 as a result of using 1994, rather than 1993,
17as the base year, and (iii) the amount of the exemption
18erroneously denied for taxable year 1994.
19    For purposes of this Section, a person who will be 65 years
20of age during the current taxable year shall be eligible to
21apply for the homestead exemption during that taxable year.
22Application shall be made during the application period in
23effect for the county of his or her residence.
24    The Chief County Assessment Officer may determine the
25eligibility of a life care facility that qualifies as a
26cooperative to receive the benefits provided by this Section by

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 738 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1use of an affidavit, application, visual inspection,
2questionnaire, or other reasonable method in order to insure
3that the tax savings resulting from the exemption are credited
4by the management firm to the apportioned tax liability of each
5qualifying resident. The Chief County Assessment Officer may
6request reasonable proof that the management firm has so
7credited that exemption.
8    Except as provided in this Section, all information
9received by the chief county assessment officer or the
10Department from applications filed under this Section, or from
11any investigation conducted under the provisions of this
12Section, shall be confidential, except for official purposes or
13pursuant to official procedures for collection of any State or
14local tax or enforcement of any civil or criminal penalty or
15sanction imposed by this Act or by any statute or ordinance
16imposing a State or local tax. Any person who divulges any such
17information in any manner, except in accordance with a proper
18judicial order, is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
19    Nothing contained in this Section shall prevent the
20Director or chief county assessment officer from publishing or
21making available reasonable statistics concerning the
22operation of the exemption contained in this Section in which
23the contents of claims are grouped into aggregates in such a
24way that information contained in any individual claim shall

2inhabitants, the amount of the exemption shall be the greater
3of (i) the amount of the exemption otherwise calculated under
4this Section or (ii) $2,000.

6publish a notice of availability of the exemption provided
7under this Section. The notice shall be published at least 60
8days but no more than 75 days prior to the date on which the

2computed for each participating municipality or participating
3instrumentality for its sheriff's law enforcement employees.

14municipality's contribution rate so as to make up that
15deficiency over such reasonable period of time as the Board may
16determine.
17    (d) The Board may establish a separate municipality
18contribution rate for all employees who are program
19participants employed under the federal Comprehensive

2provided by the separate municipality contribution rate for all
3such program participants. Refunds shall be made to prime
4sponsors of programs upon submission of a claim therefor and
5extra charges shall be assessed to participating

7municipality contribution rate as provided in paragraph (b) of
8this Section, the use of a separate municipality contribution
9rate for program participants or the refund of a portion of the
10municipality contributions, as the case may be, may be
11considered.
12    (e) Computations of municipality contribution rates for
13the following calendar year shall be made prior to the
14beginning of each year, from the information available at the
15time the computations are made, and on the assumption that the
16employees in each participating municipality or participating
17instrumentality at such time will continue in service until the
18end of such calendar year at their respective rates of earnings
19at such time.
20    (f) Any municipality which is the recipient of State
21allocations representing that municipality's contributions for
22retirement annuity purposes on behalf of its employees as
23provided in Section 12-21.16 of the Illinois Public Aid Code
24shall pay the allocations so received to the Board for such
25purpose. Estimates of State allocations to be received during
26any taxable year shall be considered in the determination of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 755 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the municipality's tax rate for that year under Section 7-171.
2If a special tax is levied under Section 7-171, none of the
3proceeds may be used to reimburse the municipality for the
4amount of State allocations received and paid to the Board. Any
5multiple-county or consolidated health department which
6receives contributions from a county under Section 11.2 of "An
7Act in relation to establishment and maintenance of county and
8multiple-county health departments", approved July 9, 1943, as
9amended, or distributions under Section 3 of the Department of
10Public Health Act, shall use these only for municipality
11contributions by the health department.
12    (g) Municipality contributions for the several purposes
13specified shall, for township treasurers and employees in the
14offices of the township treasurers who meet the qualifying
15conditions for coverage hereunder, be allocated among the
16several school districts and parts of school districts serviced
17by such treasurers and employees in the proportion which the
18amount of school funds of each district or part of a district
19handled by the treasurer bears to the total amount of all
20school funds handled by the treasurer.
21    From the funds subject to allocation among districts and
22parts of districts pursuant to the School Code, the trustees
23shall withhold the proportionate share of the liability for
24municipality contributions imposed upon such districts by this
25Section, in respect to such township treasurers and employees
26and remit the same to the Board.

6subparagraph (i) of this Section.
7    The municipality contribution rate for a public agency,
8other than a vocational education cooperative, formed under the

4reserve for the municipality or participating instrumentality.
5    (i) Contributions by participating instrumentalities shall
6be determined as provided herein except that the percentage
7derived under subparagraph 2 of paragraph (b) of this Section,
8and the amount payable under subparagraph 4 of paragraph (a) of
9this Section, shall be based on an amortization period of 10
10years.
11    (j) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section,
12the additional unfunded liability accruing as a result of
13Public Act 94-712 this amendatory Act of the 94th General
14Assembly shall be amortized over a period of 30 years beginning
15on January 1 of the second calendar year following the calendar
16year in which Public Act 94-712 this amendatory Act takes
17effect, except that the employer may provide for a longer

3Consumer Price Index-U, as established by the United States
4Department of Labor for the preceding September, the
5participating municipality or participating instrumentality
6that paid those earnings shall pay to the Fund, in addition to
7any other contributions required under this Article, the
8present value of the increase in the pension resulting from the
9portion of the increase in reported earnings that is in excess
10of the greater of 6% or 1.5 times the annual increase in the
11Consumer Price Index-U, as determined by the Fund. This present
12value shall be computed on the basis of the actuarial
13assumptions and tables used in the most recent actuarial
14valuation of the Fund that is available at the time of the
15computation.
16    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
17under this subsection (k), the fund shall calculate the amount
18of the payment and bill the participating municipality or
19participating instrumentality for that amount. The bill shall
20specify the calculations used to determine the amount due. If
21the participating municipality or participating
22instrumentality disputes the amount of the bill, it may, within
2330 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the fund in writing
24for a recalculation. The application must specify in detail the
25grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a timely application for
26recalculation, the fund shall review the application and, if

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 759 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1appropriate, recalculate the amount due. The participating
2municipality and participating instrumentality contributions
3required under this subsection (k) may be paid in the form of a
4lump sum within 90 days after receipt of the bill. If the
5participating municipality and participating instrumentality
6contributions are not paid within 90 days after receipt of the

11of the bill by the participating municipality or participating

15resulting from overload or overtime earnings.
16    When assessing payment for any amount due under this
17subsection (k), the fund shall exclude earnings increases
18resulting from payments for unused vacation time, but only for

7implemented in equal annual amounts over a 5-year period
8beginning in the State fiscal year in which the actuarial

14of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System
15on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in

10salary paid to members from federal funds, may be forwarded by
11the distributing agency of the State of Illinois to the System
12prior to allocation, in an amount determined in accordance with

HB5447 Engrossed- 776 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
2(rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate
3for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer
4shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
5the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
616-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section
716-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
8absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
9considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
10is on leave.
11    (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
12shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
13follows:
14        (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
15    employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each
16    teacher's salary.
17        (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
18    contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's
19    salary.
20The school district or other employing unit may pay these
21employer contributions out of any source of funding available
22for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
23System on the schedule established for the payment of member
24contributions.
25    These employer contributions are intended to offset a
26portion of the cost to the System of the increases in

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 777 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1retirement benefits resulting from Public Act 90-582 this
2amendatory Act of 1998.
3    Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against
4the contributions required under this subsection (e) with
5respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
62002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
7employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State
8Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
9paid to teachers for that period.
10    The additional 1% employee contribution required under
11Section 16-152 by Public Act 90-582 this amendatory Act of 1998
12is the responsibility of the teacher and not the teacher's
13employer, unless the employer agrees, through collective
14bargaining or otherwise, to make the contribution on behalf of
15the teacher.
16    If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
171, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
18pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
19Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
20this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
21the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
22for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and
23the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
24the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
25the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
26termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 778 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1after May 1, 1998.
2    (f) If the amount of a teacher's salary for any school year
3used to determine final average salary exceeds the member's
4annual full-time salary rate with the same employer for the
5previous school year by more than 6%, the teacher's employer
6shall pay to the System, in addition to all other payments
7required under this Section and in accordance with guidelines
8established by the System, the present value of the increase in
9benefits resulting from the portion of the increase in salary
10that is in excess of 6%. This present value shall be computed
11by the System on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and
12tables used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the
13System that is available at the time of the computation. If a
14teacher's salary for the 2005-2006 school year is used to
15determine final average salary under this subsection (f), then
16the changes made to this subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1057
17shall apply in calculating whether the increase in his or her
18salary is in excess of 6%. For the purposes of this Section,
19change in employment under Section 10-21.12 of the School Code
20on or after June 1, 2005 shall constitute a change in employer.
21The System may require the employer to provide any pertinent
22information or documentation. The changes made to this
23subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1111 this amendatory Act of the
2494th General Assembly apply without regard to whether the
25teacher was in service on or after its effective date.
26    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 779 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
2the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
3shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
4due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
5within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
6in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
7detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts
8that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of
9this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth and
10attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that are
11pertinent to the applicability of that subsection. Upon
12receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System
13shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate
14the amount due.
15    The employer contributions required under this subsection
16(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
17receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
18within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
19charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
20assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
21the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
22concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
23bill.
24    (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or
25salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
261, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not

1require the System to refund any payments received before July
231, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).
3    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
4(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to teachers
5under contracts or collective bargaining agreements entered
6into, amended, or renewed before June 1, 2005.
7    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
8(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to a
9teacher at a time when the teacher is 10 or more years from
10retirement eligibility under Section 16-132 or 16-133.2.
11    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
12(f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from
13overload work, including summer school, when the school
14district has certified to the System, and the System has
15approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for
16the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the
17standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school
18district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are
19equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction
20computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
21    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
22(f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from
23a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a
24certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State
25Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification
26or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's

1previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and
2been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic
3year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase
4that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the
5average salary paid for other similar positions in the district
6requiring the same certification or the amount stipulated in
7the collective bargaining agreement for a similar position
8requiring the same certification.
9    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
10(f), the System shall exclude any payment to the teacher from
11the State of Illinois or the State Board of Education over
12which the employer does not have discretion, notwithstanding
13that the payment is included in the computation of final
14average salary.
15    (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under
16subsection (f), the System shall exclude any salary increase
17described in subsection (g) of this Section given on or after
18July 1, 2011 but before July 1, 2014 under a contract or
19collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or
20renewed on or after June 1, 2005 but before July 1, 2011.
21Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any
22payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014
23shall be used in assessing payment for any amount due under
24subsection (f) of this Section.
25    (i) The System shall prepare a report and file copies of
26the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by

14    (i-5) For school years beginning on or after July 1, 2017,
15if the amount of a participant's salary for any school year,
16determined on a full-time equivalent basis, exceeds the amount
17of the salary set for the Governor, the participant's employer
18shall pay to the System, in addition to all other payments
19required under this Section and in accordance with guidelines
20established by the System, an amount determined by the System
21to be equal to the employer normal cost, as established by the
22System and expressed as a total percentage of payroll,
23multiplied by the amount of salary in excess of the amount of
24the salary set for the Governor. This amount shall be computed
25by the System on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and
26tables used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the

19assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
20the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
21concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
22bill.
23    (j) For purposes of determining the required State
24contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
25shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,

10or chief of the fire department prior to being eligible to
11retire on pension, he shall be considered as on furlough from
12the rank he held immediately prior to his appointment as chief.
13If he resigns as chief or is discharged as chief prior to
14attaining eligibility to retire on pension, he shall revert to
15and be established in whatever rank he currently holds, except
16for previously appointed positions, and thereafter be entitled
17to all the benefits and emoluments of that rank, without regard
18as to whether a vacancy then exists in that rank.
19    All appointments to each department other than that of the
20lowest rank, however, shall be from the rank next below that to

22this Section, and except that the chief of police and the chief
23of the fire department may be appointed from among members of

17department, each appointee shall be presented with his or her
18certificate of appointment on the day on which he or she is
19sworn in as a classified member of the affected department.
20Firefighters who were not issued a certificate of appointment
21when originally appointed shall be provided with a certificate
22within 10 days after making a written request to the

24any municipal fire department that employs full-time
25firefighters and is subject to a collective bargaining

1appointment under the provisions of this Division 2.1 shall not
2be used as a temporary or permanent substitute for classified
3members of a municipality's fire department or for regular
4appointment as a classified member of a municipality's fire
5department unless mutually agreed to by the employee's
6certified bargaining agent. Such agreement shall be considered
7a permissive subject of bargaining. Municipal fire departments
8covered by the changes made by Public Act 95-490 this
9amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly that are using
10non-certificated employees as substitutes immediately prior to
11June 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-490) this
12amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly may, by mutual
13agreement with the certified bargaining agent, continue the
14existing practice or a modified practice and that agreement
15shall be considered a permissive subject of bargaining. A home
16rule unit may not regulate the hiring of temporary or
17substitute members of the municipality's fire department in a
18manner that is inconsistent with this Section. This Section is
19a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII
20of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home
21rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
22    The term "policemen" as used in this Division does not
23include auxiliary police officers except as provided for in
24Section 10-2.1-6.
25    Any full-time full time member of a regular fire or police
26department of any municipality which comes under the provisions

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 814 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1of this Division or adopts this Division 2.1 or which has
2adopted any of the prior Acts pertaining to fire and police
3commissioners, is a city officer.
4    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
5Chief of Police of a department in a non-home rule municipality
6of more than 130,000 inhabitants may, without the advice or
7consent of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, appoint
8up to 6 officers who shall be known as deputy chiefs or
9assistant deputy chiefs, and whose rank shall be immediately
10below that of Chief. The deputy or assistant deputy chiefs may
11be appointed from any rank of sworn officers of that
12municipality, but no person who is not such a sworn officer may
13be so appointed. Such deputy chief or assistant deputy chief
14shall have the authority to direct and issue orders to all
15employees of the Department holding the rank of captain or any
16lower rank. A deputy chief of police or assistant deputy chief
17of police, having been appointed from any rank of sworn
18officers of that municipality, shall be permitted, regardless
19of rank, to take promotional exams and be promoted to a higher
20classified rank than he currently holds, without having to
21resign as deputy chief of police or assistant deputy chief of
22police.
23    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a
24non-home rule municipality of 130,000 or fewer inhabitants,
25through its council or board of trustees, may, by ordinance,
26provide for a position of deputy chief to be appointed by the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 815 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1chief of the police department. The ordinance shall provide for
2no more than one deputy chief position if the police department
3has fewer than 25 full-time police officers and for no more
4than 2 deputy chief positions if the police department has 25
5or more full-time police officers. The deputy chief position
6shall be an exempt rank immediately below that of Chief. The
7deputy chief may be appointed from any rank of sworn, full-time
8officers of the municipality's police department, but must have
9at least 5 years of full-time service as a police officer in
10that department. A deputy chief shall serve at the discretion
11of the Chief and, if removed from the position, shall revert to
12the rank currently held, without regard as to whether a vacancy
13exists in that rank. A deputy chief of police, having been
14appointed from any rank of sworn full-time officers of that
15municipality's police department, shall be permitted,
16regardless of rank, to take promotional exams and be promoted
17to a higher classified rank than he currently holds, without
18having to resign as deputy chief of police.
19    No municipality having a population less than 1,000,000
20shall require that any firefighter appointed to the lowest rank
21serve a probationary employment period of longer than one year.
22The limitation on periods of probationary employment provided
23in Public Act 86-990 this amendatory Act of 1989 is an
24exclusive power and function of the State. Pursuant to
25subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
26Constitution, a home rule municipality having a population less

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 816 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1than 1,000,000 must comply with this limitation on periods of
2probationary employment, which is a denial and limitation of
3home rule powers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
4this Section, the probationary employment period limitation
5may be extended for a firefighter who is required, as a
6condition of employment, to be a licensed paramedic, during
7which time the sole reason that a firefighter may be discharged
8without a hearing is for failing to meet the requirements for
9paramedic licensure.
10    To the extent that this Section or any other Section in
11this Division conflicts with Section 10-2.1-6.3 or 10-2.1-6.4,
12then Section 10-2.1-6.3 or 10-2.1-6.4 shall control.

7corporate authorities shall provide for withholding and
8deducting from the compensation of those municipal employees
9who consent to join the plan the balance of the premium or
10charge for the insurance.
11    (b) If the corporate authorities do not provide for a plan
12under which the municipality pays a portion of the premium or

16for any group life, health, accident, hospital, and medical
17insurance.
18    (c) The corporate authorities may exercise the powers
19granted in this Section only if the kinds of group insurance
20are obtained from an insurance company authorized to do
21business in the State of Illinois, or are obtained through an

5    (d-10) When health care services are available through
6contracted providers and a person does not comply with plan
7provisions specific to the use of contracted providers, the
8requirements of subsection (d-5) are not applicable. When a
9person does not comply with plan provisions specific to the use
10of contracted providers, plan provisions specific to the use of
11non-contracted providers must be applied without distinction
12for coverage required by this Section and shall be at least as
13favorable as for other radiological examinations covered by the
14policy or contract.

8other benefits. When a mastectomy is performed and there is no
9evidence of malignancy then the offered coverage may be limited
10to the provision of prosthetic devices and reconstructive
11surgery to within 2 years after the date of the mastectomy. As
12used in this Section, "mastectomy" means the removal of all or
13part of the breast for medically necessary reasons, as
14determined by a licensed physician.
15    A municipality, including a home rule municipality, that is
16a self-insurer for purposes of providing health insurance
17coverage for its employees, may not penalize or reduce or limit
18the reimbursement of an attending provider or provide
19incentives (monetary or otherwise) to an attending provider to

3    year thereafter to and including July 20, 2017, as long as
4    bonds and notes issued under Section 13.2 or bonds and
5    notes issued to refund those bonds and notes are

2    million in each fiscal year thereafter. The reserve account
3    amount shall be set aside in the trust fund and used as a
4    reserve to be transferred to the McCormick Place Expansion
5    Project Fund in the event the proceeds of taxes imposed

8    deficiency amount" means any deficiency in transfers from
9    the trust fund to the McCormick Place Expansion Project
10    Fund with respect to fiscal years 2011 and thereafter. It

3from transportation agencies upon such terms and conditions as
4may be set forth in purchase of service agreements between the
5Service Boards and the transportation agencies.
6    (b) Grants may be made either by: (i) the Authority to a
7Service Board; or (ii) a Service Board to either a
8transportation agency or another Service Board, all for
9operating and other expenses, or for developing or planning
10public transportation or for constructing or acquiring public

4principles applicable to such a transportation agency in rate
5proceedings under the Public Utilities Act "An Act concerning
6public utilities", approved June 29, 1921, as now or hereafter
7amended. This paragraph shall not be construed to provide for
8the funding of reserves or guarantee that such a transportation
9agency shall in fact receive any return. A Service Board shall,
10within 180 days after receiving a written request from a
11transportation agency which is not a public body, tender and
12offer to enter into with such transportation agency a purchase
13of service agreement that is in conformity with this Act and
14that covers the public transportation services by rail (other

17either were in operation for at least one year immediately
18preceding the effective date of this Act or were in operation
19pursuant to a purchase of service or grant agreement with the
20Authority or Service Board. No such tender by a Service Board
21need be made before April 1, 1975. The first purchase of
22service agreement so requested shall not, unless the parties
23agree otherwise, become effective prior to June 30, 1975. If,
24following such a request and tender, a Service Board and the

1under the purchase of service agreement or fares and charges
2under the purchase of service agreement, either of them may
3submit such unresolved issues to the Illinois Commerce
4Commission for determination. The Commission shall determine
5the unresolved issues in conformity with this Act. The
6Commission's determination shall be set forth in writing,
7together with such terms as are agreed by the parties and any
8other unresolved terms as tendered by the Service Board, in a
9single document which shall constitute the entire purchase of
10service agreement between the Service Board and the
11transportation agency, which agreement, in the absence of
12contrary agreement by the parties, shall be for a term of 3
13years effective as of July 1, 1975, or, if the agreement is
14requested to succeed a currently effective or recently expired
15purchase of service agreement between the parties, as of the
16date of such expiration. The decision of the Commission shall

3those funds available to it under Section 4.02, first discharge
4its financial obligations under the terms of a purchase of
5service contract to any transportation agency which is not a
6public body, unless such transportation agency has failed to
7take any action requested by the Service Board, which under the
8terms of the purchase of service contract the Service Board can
9require the transportation agency to take, which would have the
10effect of reducing the financial obligation of the Service
11Board to the transportation agency. The provisions of this
12paragraph (c) shall not preclude a Service Board and a
13transportation agency from otherwise entering into a purchase
14of service or grant agreement in conformity with this Act or an
15agreement for the Authority or a Service Board to purchase or a
16Service Board to operate that agency's public transportation
17facilities, and shall not limit the exercise of the right of

20transportation pursuant to a purchase of service or grant
21agreement with the Authority or a Service Board shall be
22subject to the "Illinois Human Rights Act", as now or hereafter

6recruitment, recruitment advertising, selection for training
7and rates of pay or other forms of compensation. No unlawful
8discrimination as defined and prohibited in the Illinois Human
9Rights Act in any such employment shall be made in any term or
10aspect of employment and discrimination based upon political
11reasons or factors shall be prohibited.
12    (e) A Service Board, subject to the provisions of paragraph
13(c) of this Section, may not discriminate against a
14transportation agency with which it has a purchase of service
15contract or grant agreement in any condition affecting the
16operation of the public transportation facility including the
17level of subsidy provided, the quality or standard of public
18transportation to be provided or in meeting the financial
19obligations to transportation agencies under the terms of a
20purchase of service or grant contract. Any transportation
21agency that believes that a Service Board is discriminating
22against it may, after attempting to resolve the alleged
23discrimination by meeting with the Service Board with which it
24has a purchase of service or grant contract, appeal to the
25Authority. The Board shall name 3 of its members, other than a

10    (a) To expel pupils guilty of gross disobedience or
11misconduct, including gross disobedience or misconduct
12perpetuated by electronic means, pursuant to subsection (b-20)
13of this Section, and no action shall lie against them for such
14expulsion. Expulsion shall take place only after the parents

25appropriate. If the board acts to expel a pupil, the written

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 923 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1expulsion decision shall detail the specific reasons why
2removing the pupil from the learning environment is in the best
3interest of the school. The expulsion decision shall also
4include a rationale as to the specific duration of the
5expulsion. An expelled pupil may be immediately transferred to
6an alternative program in the manner provided in Article 13A or
713B of this Code. A pupil must not be denied transfer because
8of the expulsion, except in cases in which such transfer is
9deemed to cause a threat to the safety of students or staff in
10the alternative program.
11    (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the superintendent
12of the district or the principal, assistant principal, or dean
13of students of any school to suspend pupils guilty of gross
14disobedience or misconduct, or to suspend pupils guilty of
15gross disobedience or misconduct on the school bus from riding
16the school bus, pursuant to subsections (b-15) and (b-20) of
17this Section, and no action shall lie against them for such
18suspension. The board may by policy authorize the
19superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
20principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend pupils
21guilty of such acts for a period not to exceed 10 school days.
22If a pupil is suspended due to gross disobedience or misconduct

2410 school days for safety reasons.
25    Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the parents
26or guardian of a pupil along with a full statement of the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 924 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to a
2review. The school board must be given a summary of the notice,
3including the reason for the suspension and the suspension
4length. Upon request of the parents or guardian, the school
5board or a hearing officer appointed by it shall review such
6action of the superintendent or principal, assistant
7principal, or dean of students. At such review, the parents or
8guardian of the pupil may appear and discuss the suspension
9with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing officer is
10appointed by the board, he shall report to the board a written
11summary of the evidence heard at the meeting. After its hearing
12or upon receipt of the written report of its hearing officer,
13the board may take such action as it finds appropriate. If a
14student is suspended pursuant to this subsection (b), the board
15shall, in the written suspension decision, detail the specific
16act of gross disobedience or misconduct resulting in the
17decision to suspend. The suspension decision shall also include
18a rationale as to the specific duration of the suspension. A
19pupil who is suspended in excess of 20 school days may be
20immediately transferred to an alternative program in the manner
21provided in Article 13A or 13B of this Code. A pupil must not
22be denied transfer because of the suspension, except in cases
23in which such transfer is deemed to cause a threat to the
24safety of students or staff in the alternative program.

26and consequences available to school officials, school

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 925 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions,
2are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
3and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
4extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them
5only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that
6students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is
7recommended that school officials consider forms of
8non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school
9suspensions or expulsions.
10    (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this
11Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies
12by which school administrators are required to suspend or expel

19other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on
20a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee.

1only if other appropriate and available behavioral and
2disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the
3student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose a
4threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of
5the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or
6interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of
7this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other
8students, staff, or members of the school community" and
9"substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the
10operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case
11basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection
12(b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and
13available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been
14exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials
15shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats,
16address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student
17exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the
18suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this Section

20Section, it shall be documented whether other interventions
21were attempted or whether it was determined that there were no
22other appropriate and available interventions.
23    (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer
24than 4 school days shall be provided appropriate and available
25support services during the period of their suspension. For

2Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of
3this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are
4to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no
5such appropriate and available services.
6    A school district may refer students who are expelled to
7appropriate and available support services.
8    A school district shall create a policy to facilitate the
9re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school,
10expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting.
11    (b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which
12suspended pupils, including those pupils suspended from the
13school bus who do not have alternate transportation to school,
14shall have the opportunity to make up work for equivalent
15academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of a pupil's
16parent or guardian to notify school officials that a pupil
17suspended from the school bus does not have alternate
18transportation to school.
19    (c) The Department of Human Services shall be invited to
20send a representative to consult with the board at such meeting
21whenever there is evidence that mental illness may be the cause
22for expulsion or suspension.
23    (c-5) School districts shall make reasonable efforts to

1    Sec. 14-8.02. Identification, evaluation, and placement of
2children.
3    (a) The State Board of Education shall make rules under
4which local school boards shall determine the eligibility of
5children to receive special education. Such rules shall ensure
6that a free appropriate public education be available to all
7children with disabilities as defined in Section 14-1.02. The
8State Board of Education shall require local school districts
9to administer non-discriminatory procedures or tests to
10English learners coming from homes in which a language other
11than English is used to determine their eligibility to receive
12special education. The placement of low English proficiency
13students in special education programs and facilities shall be
14made in accordance with the test results reflecting the
15student's linguistic, cultural and special education needs.
16For purposes of determining the eligibility of children the
17State Board of Education shall include in the rules definitions
18of "case study", "staff conference", "individualized
19educational program", and "qualified specialist" appropriate
20to each category of children with disabilities as defined in
21this Article. For purposes of determining the eligibility of
22children from homes in which a language other than English is
23used, the State Board of Education shall include in the rules
24definitions for "qualified bilingual specialists" and
25"linguistically and culturally appropriate individualized
26educational programs". For purposes of this Section, as well as

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 933 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1Sections 14-8.02a, 14-8.02b, and 14-8.02c of this Code,
2"parent" means a parent as defined in the federal Individuals
3with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1401(23)).
4    (b) No child shall be eligible for special education
5facilities except with a carefully completed case study fully
6reviewed by professional personnel in a multidisciplinary
7staff conference and only upon the recommendation of qualified
8specialists or a qualified bilingual specialist, if available.
9At the conclusion of the multidisciplinary staff conference,
10the parent of the child shall be given a copy of the
11multidisciplinary conference summary report and
12recommendations, which includes options considered, and be
13informed of their right to obtain an independent educational
14evaluation if they disagree with the evaluation findings
15conducted or obtained by the school district. If the school
16district's evaluation is shown to be inappropriate, the school
17district shall reimburse the parent for the cost of the
18independent evaluation. The State Board of Education shall,
19with advice from the State Advisory Council on Education of
20Children with Disabilities on the inclusion of specific
21independent educational evaluators, prepare a list of
22suggested independent educational evaluators. The State Board
23of Education shall include on the list clinical psychologists
24licensed pursuant to the Clinical Psychologist Licensing Act.
25Such psychologists shall not be paid fees in excess of the
26amount that would be received by a school psychologist for

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 934 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1performing the same services. The State Board of Education
2shall supply school districts with such list and make the list
3available to parents at their request. School districts shall
4make the list available to parents at the time they are
5informed of their right to obtain an independent educational
6evaluation. However, the school district may initiate an
7impartial due process hearing under this Section within 5 days
8of any written parent request for an independent educational
9evaluation to show that its evaluation is appropriate. If the
10final decision is that the evaluation is appropriate, the
11parent still has a right to an independent educational
12evaluation, but not at public expense. An independent
13educational evaluation at public expense must be completed
14within 30 days of a parent written request unless the school
15district initiates an impartial due process hearing or the
16parent or school district offers reasonable grounds to show
17that such 30 day time period should be extended. If the due
18process hearing decision indicates that the parent is entitled
19to an independent educational evaluation, it must be completed
20within 30 days of the decision unless the parent or the school
21district offers reasonable grounds to show that such 30 day
22period should be extended. If a parent disagrees with the
23summary report or recommendations of the multidisciplinary
24conference or the findings of any educational evaluation which
25results therefrom, the school district shall not proceed with a
26placement based upon such evaluation and the child shall remain

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 935 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1in his or her regular classroom setting. No child shall be
2eligible for admission to a special class for children with a
3mental disability who are educable or for children with a
4mental disability who are trainable except with a psychological
5evaluation and recommendation by a school psychologist.
6Consent shall be obtained from the parent of a child before any
7evaluation is conducted. If consent is not given by the parent
8or if the parent disagrees with the findings of the evaluation,
9then the school district may initiate an impartial due process
10hearing under this Section. The school district may evaluate
11the child if that is the decision resulting from the impartial
12due process hearing and the decision is not appealed or if the
13decision is affirmed on appeal. The determination of
14eligibility shall be made and the IEP meeting shall be
15completed within 60 school days from the date of written
16parental consent. In those instances when written parental
17consent is obtained with fewer than 60 pupil attendance days
18left in the school year, the eligibility determination shall be
19made and the IEP meeting shall be completed prior to the first
20day of the following school year. Special education and related
21services must be provided in accordance with the student's IEP
22no later than 10 school attendance days after notice is
23provided to the parents pursuant to Section 300.503 of Title 34
24of the Code of Federal Regulations and implementing rules

3needs. No later than September 1, 1993, the State Board of
4Education shall establish standards for the development,
5implementation and monitoring of appropriate bilingual special
6individualized educational programs. The State Board of
7Education shall further incorporate appropriate monitoring
8procedures to verify implementation of these standards. The
9district shall indicate to the parent and the State Board of
10Education the nature of the services the child will receive for
11the regular school term while waiting placement in the
12appropriate special education class.
13    If the child is deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or visually
14impaired and he or she might be eligible to receive services
15from the Illinois School for the Deaf or the Illinois School
16for the Visually Impaired, the school district shall notify the
17parents, in writing, of the existence of these schools and the
18services they provide and shall make a reasonable effort to
19inform the parents of the existence of other, local schools
20that provide similar services and the services that these other
21schools provide. This notification shall include without
22limitation information on school services, school admissions

4Mental Disability Services Act upon becoming an adult, the
5student's individualized education program shall include plans
6for (i) determining the student's eligibility for those
7home-based services, (ii) enrolling the student in the program
8of home-based services, and (iii) developing a plan for the
9student's most effective use of the home-based services after
10the student becomes an adult and no longer receives special
11educational services under this Article. The plans developed
12under this paragraph shall include specific actions to be taken
13by specified individuals, agencies, or officials.
14    (c) In the development of the individualized education
15program for a student who is functionally blind, it shall be
16presumed that proficiency in Braille reading and writing is
17essential for the student's satisfactory educational progress.
18For purposes of this subsection, the State Board of Education
19shall determine the criteria for a student to be classified as
20functionally blind. Students who are not currently identified
21as functionally blind who are also entitled to Braille
22instruction include: (i) those whose vision loss is so severe
23that they are unable to read and write at a level comparable to
24their peers solely through the use of vision, and (ii) those
25who show evidence of progressive vision loss that may result in
26functional blindness. Each student who is functionally blind

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 939 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1shall be entitled to Braille reading and writing instruction
2that is sufficient to enable the student to communicate with
3the same level of proficiency as other students of comparable
4ability. Instruction should be provided to the extent that the
5student is physically and cognitively able to use Braille.
6Braille instruction may be used in combination with other
7special education services appropriate to the student's
8educational needs. The assessment of each student who is
9functionally blind for the purpose of developing the student's
10individualized education program shall include documentation
11of the student's strengths and weaknesses in Braille skills.
12Each person assisting in the development of the individualized
13education program for a student who is functionally blind shall
14receive information describing the benefits of Braille
15instruction. The individualized education program for each
16student who is functionally blind shall specify the appropriate
17learning medium or media based on the assessment report.
18    (d) To the maximum extent appropriate, the placement shall
19provide the child with the opportunity to be educated with
20children who do not have a disability; provided that children
21with disabilities who are recommended to be placed into regular
22education classrooms are provided with supplementary services
23to assist the children with disabilities to benefit from the
24regular classroom instruction and are included on the teacher's
25regular education class register. Subject to the limitation of

2the regular educational environment shall occur only when the
3nature of the severity of the disability is such that education
4in the regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and
5services cannot be achieved satisfactorily. The placement of
6English learners with disabilities shall be in non-restrictive
7environments which provide for integration with peers who do
8not have disabilities in bilingual classrooms. Annually, each
9January, school districts shall report data on students from
10non-English speaking backgrounds receiving special education
11and related services in public and private facilities as
12prescribed in Section 2-3.30. If there is a disagreement
13between parties involved regarding the special education
14placement of any child, either in-state or out-of-state, the
15placement is subject to impartial due process procedures
16described in Article 10 of the Rules and Regulations to Govern
17the Administration and Operation of Special Education.
18    (e) No child who comes from a home in which a language
19other than English is the principal language used may be
20assigned to any class or program under this Article until he
21has been given, in the principal language used by the child and
22used in his home, tests reasonably related to his cultural
23environment. All testing and evaluation materials and
24procedures utilized for evaluation and placement shall not be
25linguistically, racially or culturally discriminatory.
26    (f) Nothing in this Article shall be construed to require

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 941 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1any child to undergo any physical examination or medical
2treatment whose parents object thereto on the grounds that such
3examination or treatment conflicts with his religious beliefs.
4    (g) School boards or their designee shall provide to the
5parents of a child prior written notice of any decision (a)
6proposing to initiate or change, or (b) refusing to initiate or
7change, the identification, evaluation, or educational
8placement of the child or the provision of a free appropriate
9public education to their child, and the reasons therefor. Such
10written notification shall also inform the parent of the
11opportunity to present complaints with respect to any matter
12relating to the educational placement of the student, or the
13provision of a free appropriate public education and to have an
14impartial due process hearing on the complaint. The notice
15shall inform the parents in the parents' native language,

17party at least 5 days before the hearing. The party requesting
18a hearing shall not be permitted at the hearing to raise issues
19that were not raised in the party's initial or amended request,
20unless otherwise permitted in this Section.
21    (g-55) All reasonable efforts must be made by the parties
22to present their respective cases at the hearing within a
23cumulative period of 7 days. When scheduling hearing dates, the
24hearing officer shall schedule the final day of the hearing no

HB5447 Engrossed- 956 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1applied in a manner that (i) denies any party to the hearing a
2fair and reasonable allocation of time and opportunity to
3present its case in its entirety or (ii) deprives any party to
4the hearing of the safeguards accorded under the federal
5Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of
62004 (Public Law 108-446), regulations promulgated under the

HB5447 Engrossed- 957 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the conclusion of the hearing. If at issue, the school district
2shall present evidence that it has properly identified and
3evaluated the nature and severity of the student's suspected or
4identified disability and that, if the student has been or
5should have been determined eligible for special education and
6related services, that it is providing or has offered a free
7appropriate public education to the student in the least

17request that the due process hearing officer issue a subpoena
18to compel the testimony of witnesses or the production of
19documents relevant to the resolution of the hearing. Whenever a
20person refuses to comply with any subpoena issued under this
21Section, the circuit court of the county in which that hearing
22is pending, on application of the impartial hearing officer or
23the party requesting the issuance of the subpoena, may compel
24compliance through the contempt powers of the court in the same
25manner as if the requirements of a subpoena issued by the court
26had been disobeyed.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 958 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    (h) The impartial hearing officer shall issue a written
2decision, including findings of fact and conclusions of law,

4certified mail a copy of the decision to the parents or student
5(if the student requests the hearing), the school district, the
6director of special education, legal representatives of the
7parties, and the State Board of Education. Unless the hearing
8officer has granted specific extensions of time at the request
9of a party, a final decision, including the clarification of a
10decision requested under this subsection, shall be reached and
11mailed to the parties named above not later than 45 days after
12the initiation of the timeline for conducting the hearing, as
13described in subsection (g-35) of this Section. The decision
14shall specify the educational and related services that shall
15be provided to the student in accordance with the student's
16needs and the timeline for which the school district shall
17submit evidence to the State Board of Education to demonstrate
18compliance with the hearing officer's decision in the event
19that the decision orders the school district to undertake
20corrective action. The hearing officer shall retain
21jurisdiction for the sole purpose of considering a request for
22clarification of the final decision submitted in writing by a
23party to the impartial hearing officer within 5 days after
24receipt of the decision. A copy of the request for
25clarification shall specify the portions of the decision for
26which clarification is sought and shall be mailed to all

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 959 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1parties of record and to the State Board of Education. The
2request shall operate to stay implementation of those portions
3of the decision for which clarification is sought, pending
4action on the request by the hearing officer, unless the
5parties otherwise agree. The hearing officer shall issue a
6clarification of the specified portion of the decision or issue
7a partial or full denial of the request in writing within 10
8days of receipt of the request and mail copies to all parties
9to whom the decision was mailed. This subsection does not
10permit a party to request, or authorize a hearing officer to
11entertain, reconsideration of the decision itself. The statute
12of limitations for seeking review of the decision shall be
13tolled from the date the request is submitted until the date
14the hearing officer acts upon the request. The hearing
15officer's decision shall be binding upon the school district
16and the parents unless a civil action is commenced.
17    (i) Any party to an impartial due process hearing aggrieved
18by the final written decision of the impartial due process
19hearing officer shall have the right to commence a civil action
20with respect to the issues presented in the impartial due
21process hearing. That civil action shall be brought in any
22court of competent jurisdiction within 120 days after a copy of
23the decision of the impartial due process hearing officer is
24mailed to the party as provided in subsection (h). The civil
25action authorized by this subsection shall not be exclusive of
26any rights or causes of action otherwise available. The

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 960 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1commencement of a civil action under this subsection shall
2operate as a supersedeas. In any action brought under this
3subsection the Court shall receive the records of the impartial
4due process hearing, shall hear additional evidence at the
5request of a party, and, basing its decision on the
6preponderance of the evidence, shall grant such relief as the
7court determines is appropriate. In any instance where a school
8district willfully disregards applicable regulations or
9statutes regarding a child covered by this Article, and which
10disregard has been detrimental to the child, the school
11district shall be liable for any reasonable attorney's fees
12incurred by the parent in connection with proceedings under
13this Section.
14    (j) During the pendency of any administrative or judicial
15proceeding conducted pursuant to this Section, including
16mediation (if the school district or other public entity
17voluntarily agrees to participate in mediation), unless the
18school district and the parents or student (if at least 18
19years of age or emancipated) otherwise agree, the student shall
20remain in his or her present educational placement and continue
21in his or her present eligibility status and special education
22and related services, if any. If mediation fails to resolve the
23dispute between the parties, or if the parties do not agree to
24use mediation, the parent (or student if 18 years of age or
25older or emancipated) shall have 10 days after the mediation
26concludes, or after a party declines to use mediation, to file

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 961 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1a request for a due process hearing in order to continue to
2invoke the "stay-put" provisions of this subsection (j). If
3applying for initial admission to the school district, the
4student shall, with the consent of the parents (if the student
5is not at least 18 years of age or emancipated), be placed in
6the school district program until all such proceedings have
7been completed. The costs for any special education and related
8services or placement incurred following 60 school days after
9the initial request for evaluation shall be borne by the school
10district if the services or placement is in accordance with the
11final determination as to the special education and related
12services or placement that must be provided to the child,
13provided that during that 60-day 60 day period there have been
14no delays caused by the child's parent. The requirements and
15procedures of this subsection (j) shall be included in the
16uniform notices developed by the State Superintendent under
17subsection (g) of Section 14-8.02 of this Code.
18    (k) Whenever the parents of a child of the type described
19in Section 14-1.02 are not known or , are unavailable, or the
20child is a youth in care as defined in Section 4d of the
21Children and Family Services Act, a person shall be assigned to
22serve as surrogate parent for the child in matters relating to
23the identification, evaluation, and educational placement of
24the child and the provision of a free appropriate public
25education to the child. Persons shall be assigned as surrogate
26parents by the State Superintendent of Education. The State

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 962 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1Board of Education shall promulgate rules and regulations
2establishing qualifications of those persons and their
3responsibilities and the procedures to be followed in making
4assignments of persons as surrogate parents. Surrogate parents
5shall not be employees of the school district, an agency
6created by joint agreement under Section 10-22.31, an agency
7involved in the education or care of the student, or the State
8Board of Education. Services of any person assigned as
9surrogate parent shall terminate if the parent becomes
10available unless otherwise requested by the parents. The
11assignment of a person as surrogate parent at no time
12supersedes, terminates, or suspends the parents' legal
13authority relative to the child. Any person participating in
14good faith as surrogate parent on behalf of the child before
15school officials or a hearing officer shall have immunity from
16civil or criminal liability that otherwise might result by
17reason of that participation, except in cases of willful and
18wanton misconduct.
19    (l) At all stages of the hearing, the hearing officer shall
20require that interpreters be made available by the school
21district for persons who are deaf or for persons whose normally
22spoken language is other than English.
23    (m) If any provision of this Section or its application to
24any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity of
25that provision or application does not affect other provisions
26or applications of the Section that can be given effect without

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 963 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

3no requirement that a child be absent from school a minimum
4number of days before the child qualifies for home or hospital
5instruction. In order to establish eligibility for home or
6hospital services, a student's parent or guardian must submit
7to the child's school district of residence a written statement
8from a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of its
9branches, a licensed physician assistant, or a licensed
10advanced practice registered nurse stating the existence of
11such medical condition, the impact on the child's ability to
12participate in education, and the anticipated duration or

14instruction may commence upon receipt of a written physician's,
15physician assistant's, or advanced practice registered nurse's
16statement in accordance with this Section, but instruction
17shall commence not later than 5 school days after the school
18district receives the physician's, physician assistant's, or
19advanced practice registered nurse's statement. Special
20education and related services required by the child's IEP or
21services and accommodations required by the child's federal
22Section 504 plan must be implemented as part of the child's

17financial aid and supplemental general State aid to the common
18schools for the 1998-1999 through the 2016-2017 school years.
 
19(A) General Provisions.
20    (1) The provisions of this Section relating to the
21calculation and apportionment of general State financial aid
22and supplemental general State aid apply to the 1998-1999
23through the 2016-2017 school years. The system of general State
24financial aid provided for in this Section is designed to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 972 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1assure that, through a combination of State financial aid and
2required local resources, the financial support provided each
3pupil in Average Daily Attendance equals or exceeds a
4prescribed per pupil Foundation Level. This formula approach
5imputes a level of per pupil Available Local Resources and
6provides for the basis to calculate a per pupil level of
7general State financial aid that, when added to Available Local
8Resources, equals or exceeds the Foundation Level. The amount
9of per pupil general State financial aid for school districts,
10in general, varies in inverse relation to Available Local
11Resources. Per pupil amounts are based upon each school
12district's Average Daily Attendance as that term is defined in
13this Section.
14    (2) In addition to general State financial aid, school
15districts with specified levels or concentrations of pupils
16from low income households are eligible to receive supplemental
17general State financial aid grants as provided pursuant to
18subsection (H). The supplemental State aid grants provided for
19school districts under subsection (H) shall be appropriated for
20distribution to school districts as part of the same line item
21in which the general State financial aid of school districts is
22appropriated under this Section.
23    (3) To receive financial assistance under this Section,
24school districts are required to file claims with the State
25Board of Education, subject to the following requirements:
26        (a) Any school district which fails for any given

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 973 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    school year to maintain school as required by law, or to
2    maintain a recognized school is not eligible to file for
3    such school year any claim upon the Common School Fund. In
4    case of nonrecognition of one or more attendance centers in
5    a school district otherwise operating recognized schools,
6    the claim of the district shall be reduced in the
7    proportion which the Average Daily Attendance in the
8    attendance center or centers bear to the Average Daily
9    Attendance in the school district. A "recognized school"
10    means any public school which meets the standards as
11    established for recognition by the State Board of
12    Education. A school district or attendance center not
13    having recognition status at the end of a school term is
14    entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal
15    claim which was filed while it was recognized.
16        (b) School district claims filed under this Section are
17    subject to Sections 18-9 and 18-12, except as otherwise
18    provided in this Section.
19        (c) If a school district operates a full year school
20    under Section 10-19.1, the general State aid to the school
21    district shall be determined by the State Board of
22    Education in accordance with this Section as near as may be
23    applicable.
24        (d) (Blank).
25    (4) Except as provided in subsections (H) and (L), the
26board of any district receiving any of the grants provided for

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 974 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1in this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
2for which that board is authorized to make expenditures by law.
3    School districts are not required to exert a minimum
4Operating Tax Rate in order to qualify for assistance under
5this Section.
6    (5) As used in this Section the following terms, when
7capitalized, shall have the meaning ascribed herein:
8        (a) "Average Daily Attendance": A count of pupil
9    attendance in school, averaged as provided for in
10    subsection (C) and utilized in deriving per pupil financial
11    support levels.
12        (b) "Available Local Resources": A computation of
13    local financial support, calculated on the basis of Average
14    Daily Attendance and derived as provided pursuant to
15    subsection (D).
16        (c) "Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes":
17    Funds paid to local school districts pursuant to "An Act in
18    relation to the abolition of ad valorem personal property
19    tax and the replacement of revenues lost thereby, and
20    amending and repealing certain Acts and parts of Acts in
21    connection therewith", certified August 14, 1979, as
22    amended (Public Act 81-1st S.S.-1).
23        (d) "Foundation Level": A prescribed level of per pupil
24    financial support as provided for in subsection (B).
25        (e) "Operating Tax Rate": All school district property
26    taxes extended for all purposes, except Bond and Interest,

1    Summer School, Rent, Capital Improvement, and Vocational
2    Education Building purposes.
 
3(B) Foundation Level.
4    (1) The Foundation Level is a figure established by the
5State representing the minimum level of per pupil financial
6support that should be available to provide for the basic
7education of each pupil in Average Daily Attendance. As set
8forth in this Section, each school district is assumed to exert
9a sufficient local taxing effort such that, in combination with
10the aggregate of general State financial aid provided the
11district, an aggregate of State and local resources are
12available to meet the basic education needs of pupils in the
13district.
14    (2) For the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level of
15support is $4,225. For the 1999-2000 school year, the
16Foundation Level of support is $4,325. For the 2000-2001 school
17year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,425. For the
182001-2002 school year and 2002-2003 school year, the Foundation
19Level of support is $4,560. For the 2003-2004 school year, the
20Foundation Level of support is $4,810. For the 2004-2005 school
21year, the Foundation Level of support is $4,964. For the
222005-2006 school year, the Foundation Level of support is
23$5,164. For the 2006-2007 school year, the Foundation Level of
24support is $5,334. For the 2007-2008 school year, the
25Foundation Level of support is $5,734. For the 2008-2009 school

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 976 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1year, the Foundation Level of support is $5,959.
2    (3) For the 2009-2010 school year and each school year
3thereafter, the Foundation Level of support is $6,119 or such
4greater amount as may be established by law by the General
5Assembly.
 
6(C) Average Daily Attendance.
7    (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant
8to subsection (E), an Average Daily Attendance figure shall be
9utilized. The Average Daily Attendance figure for formula
10calculation purposes shall be the monthly average of the actual
11number of pupils in attendance of each school district, as
12further averaged for the best 3 months of pupil attendance for
13each school district. In compiling the figures for the number
14of pupils in attendance, school districts and the State Board
15of Education shall, for purposes of general State aid funding,
16conform attendance figures to the requirements of subsection
17(F).
18    (2) The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
19subsection (E) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
20school year immediately preceding the school year for which
21general State aid is being calculated or the average of the
22attendance data for the 3 preceding school years, whichever is
23greater. The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
24subsection (H) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
25school year immediately preceding the school year for which

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 977 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1general State aid is being calculated.
 
2(D) Available Local Resources.
3    (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant
4to subsection (E), a representation of Available Local
5Resources per pupil, as that term is defined and determined in
6this subsection, shall be utilized. Available Local Resources
7per pupil shall include a calculated dollar amount representing
8local school district revenues from local property taxes and
9from Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes, expressed
10on the basis of pupils in Average Daily Attendance. Calculation
11of Available Local Resources shall exclude any tax amnesty
12funds received as a result of Public Act 93-26.
13    (2) In determining a school district's revenue from local
14property taxes, the State Board of Education shall utilize the
15equalized assessed valuation of all taxable property of each
16school district as of September 30 of the previous year. The
17equalized assessed valuation utilized shall be obtained and
18determined as provided in subsection (G).
19    (3) For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten
20through 12, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be
21calculated as the product of the applicable equalized assessed
22valuation for the district multiplied by 3.00%, and divided by
23the district's Average Daily Attendance figure. For school
24districts maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, local
25property tax revenues per pupil shall be calculated as the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 978 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1product of the applicable equalized assessed valuation for the
2district multiplied by 2.30%, and divided by the district's
3Average Daily Attendance figure. For school districts
4maintaining grades 9 through 12, local property tax revenues
5per pupil shall be the applicable equalized assessed valuation
6of the district multiplied by 1.05%, and divided by the
7district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
8    For partial elementary unit districts created pursuant to
9Article 11E of this Code, local property tax revenues per pupil
10shall be calculated as the product of the equalized assessed
11valuation for property within the partial elementary unit
12district for elementary purposes, as defined in Article 11E of
13this Code, multiplied by 2.06% and divided by the district's
14Average Daily Attendance figure, plus the product of the
15equalized assessed valuation for property within the partial
16elementary unit district for high school purposes, as defined
17in Article 11E of this Code, multiplied by 0.94% and divided by
18the district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
19    (4) The Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes paid
20to each school district during the calendar year one year
21before the calendar year in which a school year begins, divided
22by the Average Daily Attendance figure for that district, shall
23be added to the local property tax revenues per pupil as
24derived by the application of the immediately preceding
25paragraph (3). The sum of these per pupil figures for each
26school district shall constitute Available Local Resources as

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 979 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1that term is utilized in subsection (E) in the calculation of
2general State aid.
 
3(E) Computation of General State Aid.
4    (1) For each school year, the amount of general State aid
5allotted to a school district shall be computed by the State
6Board of Education as provided in this subsection.
7    (2) For any school district for which Available Local
8Resources per pupil is less than the product of 0.93 times the
9Foundation Level, general State aid for that district shall be
10calculated as an amount equal to the Foundation Level minus
11Available Local Resources, multiplied by the Average Daily
12Attendance of the school district.
13    (3) For any school district for which Available Local
14Resources per pupil is equal to or greater than the product of
150.93 times the Foundation Level and less than the product of
161.75 times the Foundation Level, the general State aid per
17pupil shall be a decimal proportion of the Foundation Level
18derived using a linear algorithm. Under this linear algorithm,
19the calculated general State aid per pupil shall decline in
20direct linear fashion from 0.07 times the Foundation Level for
21a school district with Available Local Resources equal to the
22product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level, to 0.05 times the
23Foundation Level for a school district with Available Local
24Resources equal to the product of 1.75 times the Foundation
25Level. The allocation of general State aid for school districts

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 980 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1subject to this paragraph 3 shall be the calculated general
2State aid per pupil figure multiplied by the Average Daily
3Attendance of the school district.
4    (4) For any school district for which Available Local
5Resources per pupil equals or exceeds the product of 1.75 times
6the Foundation Level, the general State aid for the school
7district shall be calculated as the product of $218 multiplied
8by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district.
9    (5) The amount of general State aid allocated to a school
10district for the 1999-2000 school year meeting the requirements
11set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) shall be increased
12by an amount equal to the general State aid that would have
13been received by the district for the 1998-1999 school year by
14utilizing the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed
15Valuation as calculated in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) less
16the general State aid allotted for the 1998-1999 school year.
17This amount shall be deemed a one time increase, and shall not
18affect any future general State aid allocations.
 
19(F) Compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
20    (1) Each school district shall, by July 1 of each year,
21submit to the State Board of Education, on forms prescribed by
22the State Board of Education, attendance figures for the school
23year that began in the preceding calendar year. The attendance
24information so transmitted shall identify the average daily
25attendance figures for each month of the school year for each

20    counted as a full day of attendance.
21        (h) A recognized kindergarten which provides for only
22    1/2 day of attendance by each pupil shall not have more
23    than 1/2 day of attendance counted in any one day. However,
24    kindergartens may count 2 1/2 days of attendance in any 5

HB5447 Engrossed- 986 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    pupil shall have the following day as a day absent from
2    school, unless the school district obtains permission in
3    writing from the State Superintendent of Education.
4    Attendance at kindergartens which provide for a full day of
5    attendance by each pupil shall be counted the same as
6    attendance by first grade pupils. Only the first year of
7    attendance in one kindergarten shall be counted, except in
8    case of children who entered the kindergarten in their
9    fifth year whose educational development requires a second
10    year of kindergarten as determined under the rules and
11    regulations of the State Board of Education.
12        (i) On the days when the assessment that includes a

16    shortened to accommodate required testing procedures may
17    be less than 5 clock hours and shall be counted towards the
18    176 days of actual pupil attendance required under Section
19    10-19 of this Code, provided that a sufficient number of
20    minutes of school work in excess of 5 clock hours are first
21    completed on other school days to compensate for the loss
22    of school work on the examination days.
23        (j) Pupils enrolled in a remote educational program
24    established under Section 10-29 of this Code may be counted
25    on the basis of one-fifth day of attendance for every clock
26    hour of instruction attended in the remote educational

1    program, provided that, in any month, the school district
2    may not claim for a student enrolled in a remote
3    educational program more days of attendance than the
4    maximum number of days of attendance the district can claim
5    (i) for students enrolled in a building holding year-round
6    classes if the student is classified as participating in
7    the remote educational program on a year-round schedule or
8    (ii) for students enrolled in a building not holding
9    year-round classes if the student is not classified as
10    participating in the remote educational program on a

12(G) Equalized Assessed Valuation Data.
13    (1) For purposes of the calculation of Available Local
14Resources required pursuant to subsection (D), the State Board
15of Education shall secure from the Department of Revenue the
16value as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue of
17all taxable property of every school district, together with
18(i) the applicable tax rate used in extending taxes for the
19funds of the district as of September 30 of the previous year
20and (ii) the limiting rate for all school districts subject to
21property tax extension limitations as imposed under the
22Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
23    The Department of Revenue shall add to the equalized
24assessed value of all taxable property of each school district
25situated entirely or partially within a county that is or was

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 988 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1subject to the provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the
2Property Tax Code (a) an amount equal to the total amount by
3which the homestead exemption allowed under Section 15-176 or
415-177 of the Property Tax Code for real property situated in
5that school district exceeds the total amount that would have
6been allowed in that school district if the maximum reduction
7under Section 15-176 was (i) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500 in
8all other counties in tax year 2003 or (ii) $5,000 in all
9counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and (b) an amount
10equal to the aggregate amount for the taxable year of all
11additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
12Code for owners with a household income of $30,000 or less. The
13county clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
14provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
15shall annually calculate and certify to the Department of
16Revenue for each school district all homestead exemption
17amounts under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
18and all amounts of additional exemptions under Section 15-175
19of the Property Tax Code for owners with a household income of
20$30,000 or less. It is the intent of this paragraph that if the
21general homestead exemption for a parcel of property is
22determined under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax
23Code rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
24Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the
25difference, if any, between the amount of the general homestead
26exemption allowed for that parcel of property under Section

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 989 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

115-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the amount that
2would have been allowed had the general homestead exemption for
3that parcel of property been determined under Section 15-175 of
4the Property Tax Code. It is further the intent of this
5paragraph that if additional exemptions are allowed under
6Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners with a
7household income of less than $30,000, then the calculation of
8Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the
9difference, if any, because of those additional exemptions.
10    This equalized assessed valuation, as adjusted further by
11the requirements of this subsection, shall be utilized in the
12calculation of Available Local Resources.
13    (2) The equalized assessed valuation in paragraph (1) shall
14be adjusted, as applicable, in the following manner:
15        (a) For the purposes of calculating State aid under
16    this Section, with respect to any part of a school district
17    within a redevelopment project area in respect to which a
18    municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
19    financing pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation
20    Redevelopment Act, Sections 11-74.4-1 through 11-74.4-11
21    of the Illinois Municipal Code or the Industrial Jobs
22    Recovery Law, Sections 11-74.6-1 through 11-74.6-50 of the
23    Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current equalized
24    assessed valuation of real property located in any such
25    project area which is attributable to an increase above the
26    total initial equalized assessed valuation of such

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 990 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    property shall be used as part of the equalized assessed
2    valuation of the district, until such time as all
3    redevelopment project costs have been paid, as provided in
4    Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment Allocation
5    Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35 of the
6    Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of the
7    equalized assessed valuation of the district, the total
8    initial equalized assessed valuation or the current
9    equalized assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be
10    used until such time as all redevelopment project costs
11    have been paid.
12        (b) The real property equalized assessed valuation for
13    a school district shall be adjusted by subtracting from the
14    real property value as equalized or assessed by the
15    Department of Revenue for the district an amount computed
16    by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes under
17    Section 18-170 of the Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a
18    district maintaining grades kindergarten through 12, by
19    2.30% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten
20    through 8, or by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9
21    through 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing
22    the amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
23    of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
24    percentage rates for district type as specified in this
25    subparagraph (b).
26    (3) For the 1999-2000 school year and each school year

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 991 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1thereafter, if a school district meets all of the criteria of
2this subsection (G)(3), the school district's Available Local
3Resources shall be calculated under subsection (D) using the
4district's Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation
5as calculated under this subsection (G)(3).
6    For purposes of this subsection (G)(3) the following terms
7shall have the following meanings:
8        "Budget Year": The school year for which general State
9    aid is calculated and awarded under subsection (E).
10        "Base Tax Year": The property tax levy year used to
11    calculate the Budget Year allocation of general State aid.
12        "Preceding Tax Year": The property tax levy year
13    immediately preceding the Base Tax Year.
14        "Base Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of the
15    equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County Clerk
16    in the Base Tax Year multiplied by the limiting rate as
17    calculated by the County Clerk and defined in the Property
18    Tax Extension Limitation Law.
19        "Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension": The product of
20    the equalized assessed valuation utilized by the County
21    Clerk in the Preceding Tax Year multiplied by the Operating
22    Tax Rate as defined in subsection (A).
23        "Extension Limitation Ratio": A numerical ratio,
24    certified by the County Clerk, in which the numerator is
25    the Base Tax Year's Tax Extension and the denominator is
26    the Preceding Tax Year's Tax Extension.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 992 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        "Operating Tax Rate": The operating tax rate as defined
2    in subsection (A).
3    If a school district is subject to property tax extension
4limitations as imposed under the Property Tax Extension
5Limitation Law, the State Board of Education shall calculate
6the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of that
7district. For the 1999-2000 school year, the Extension
8Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as
9calculated by the State Board of Education shall be equal to
10the product of the district's 1996 Equalized Assessed Valuation
11and the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. Except as
12otherwise provided in this paragraph for a school district that
13has approved or does approve an increase in its limiting rate,
14for the 2000-2001 school year and each school year thereafter,
15the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a
16school district as calculated by the State Board of Education
17shall be equal to the product of the Equalized Assessed
18Valuation last used in the calculation of general State aid and
19the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension
20Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of a school district as
21calculated under this subsection (G)(3) is less than the
22district's equalized assessed valuation as calculated pursuant
23to subsections (G)(1) and (G)(2), then for purposes of
24calculating the district's general State aid for the Budget
25Year pursuant to subsection (E), that Extension Limitation
26Equalized Assessed Valuation shall be utilized to calculate the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 993 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1district's Available Local Resources under subsection (D). For
2the 2009-2010 school year and each school year thereafter, if a
3school district has approved or does approve an increase in its
4limiting rate, pursuant to Section 18-190 of the Property Tax
5Code, affecting the Base Tax Year, the Extension Limitation
6Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district, as
7calculated by the State Board of Education, shall be equal to
8the product of the Equalized Assessed Valuation last used in
9the calculation of general State aid times an amount equal to
10one plus the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price
11Index for all Urban Consumers for all items published by the
12United States Department of Labor for the 12-month calendar
13year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the Equalized Assessed
14Valuation of new property, annexed property, and recovered tax
15increment value and minus the Equalized Assessed Valuation of
16disconnected property. New property and recovered tax
17increment value shall have the meanings set forth in the
18Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
19    Partial elementary unit districts created in accordance
20with Article 11E of this Code shall not be eligible for the
21adjustment in this subsection (G)(3) until the fifth year
22following the effective date of the reorganization.
23    (3.5) For the 2010-2011 school year and each school year
24thereafter, if a school district's boundaries span multiple
25counties, then the Department of Revenue shall send to the
26State Board of Education, for the purpose of calculating

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 994 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1general State aid, the limiting rate and individual rates by
2purpose for the county that contains the majority of the school
3district's Equalized Assessed Valuation.
4    (4) For the purposes of calculating general State aid for
5the 1999-2000 school year only, if a school district
6experienced a triennial reassessment on the equalized assessed
7valuation used in calculating its general State financial aid
8apportionment for the 1998-1999 school year, the State Board of
9Education shall calculate the Extension Limitation Equalized
10Assessed Valuation that would have been used to calculate the
11district's 1998-1999 general State aid. This amount shall equal
12the product of the equalized assessed valuation used to
13calculate general State aid for the 1997-1998 school year and
14the district's Extension Limitation Ratio. If the Extension
15Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation of the school district
16as calculated under this paragraph (4) is less than the
17district's equalized assessed valuation utilized in
18calculating the district's 1998-1999 general State aid
19allocation, then for purposes of calculating the district's
20general State aid pursuant to paragraph (5) of subsection (E),
21that Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation shall
22be utilized to calculate the district's Available Local
23Resources.
24    (5) For school districts having a majority of their
25equalized assessed valuation in any county except Cook, DuPage,
26Kane, Lake, McHenry, or Will, if the amount of general State

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 995 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1aid allocated to the school district for the 1999-2000 school
2year under the provisions of subsection (E), (H), and (J) of
3this Section is less than the amount of general State aid
4allocated to the district for the 1998-1999 school year under
5these subsections, then the general State aid of the district
6for the 1999-2000 school year only shall be increased by the
7difference between these amounts. The total payments made under
8this paragraph (5) shall not exceed $14,000,000. Claims shall
9be prorated if they exceed $14,000,000.
 
10(H) Supplemental General State Aid.
11    (1) In addition to the general State aid a school district
12is allotted pursuant to subsection (E), qualifying school
13districts shall receive a grant, paid in conjunction with a
14district's payments of general State aid, for supplemental
15general State aid based upon the concentration level of
16children from low-income households within the school
17district. Supplemental State aid grants provided for school
18districts under this subsection shall be appropriated for
19distribution to school districts as part of the same line item
20in which the general State financial aid of school districts is
21appropriated under this Section.
22    (1.5) This paragraph (1.5) applies only to those school
23years preceding the 2003-2004 school year. For purposes of this

HB5447 Engrossed- 996 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1recently available federal census divided by the Average Daily
2Attendance of the school district. If, however, (i) the
3percentage decrease from the 2 most recent federal censuses in
4the low-income eligible pupil count of a high school district
5with fewer than 400 students exceeds by 75% or more the
6percentage change in the total low-income eligible pupil count
7of contiguous elementary school districts, whose boundaries
8are coterminous with the high school district, or (ii) a high
9school district within 2 counties and serving 5 elementary
10school districts, whose boundaries are coterminous with the
11high school district, has a percentage decrease from the 2 most
12recent federal censuses in the low-income eligible pupil count
13and there is a percentage increase in the total low-income
14eligible pupil count of a majority of the elementary school
15districts in excess of 50% from the 2 most recent federal
16censuses, then the high school district's low-income eligible
17pupil count from the earlier federal census shall be the number
18used as the low-income eligible pupil count for the high school
19district, for purposes of this subsection (H). The changes made
20to this paragraph (1) by Public Act 92-28 shall apply to
21supplemental general State aid grants for school years
22preceding the 2003-2004 school year that are paid in fiscal
23year 1999 or thereafter and to any State aid payments made in
24fiscal year 1994 through fiscal year 1998 pursuant to
25subsection 1(n) of Section 18-8 of this Code (which was

1affected by Public Act 92-28 is entitled to a recomputation of
2its supplemental general State aid grant or State aid paid in
3any of those fiscal years. This recomputation shall not be
4affected by any other funding.
5    (1.10) This paragraph (1.10) applies to the 2003-2004
6school year and each school year thereafter through the
72016-2017 school year. For purposes of this subsection (H), the
8term "Low-Income Concentration Level" shall, for each fiscal
9year, be the low-income eligible pupil count as of July 1 of
10the immediately preceding fiscal year (as determined by the
11Department of Human Services based on the number of pupils who
12are eligible for at least one of the following low income
13programs: Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program,
14TANF, or Food Stamps, excluding pupils who are eligible for
15services provided by the Department of Children and Family
16Services, averaged over the 2 immediately preceding fiscal
17years for fiscal year 2004 and over the 3 immediately preceding
18fiscal years for each fiscal year thereafter) divided by the
19Average Daily Attendance of the school district.
20    (2) Supplemental general State aid pursuant to this

5report of claims provided in Section 18-8.05 or 18-8.15 of this
6Code. The claim shall be based on the latest available
7equalized assessed valuation and tax rates, as provided in

14the official school calendar end date for districts, regional
15offices of education, laboratory schools, or State-authorized
16charter schools with a school year end date of June 15 or
17later. Failure to so file by these deadlines constitutes a
18forfeiture of the right to receive payment by the State until
19such claim is filed. The State Superintendent of Education
20shall voucher for payment those claims to the State Comptroller
21as provided in Section 18-11.
22    Except as otherwise provided in this Section, if any school
23district fails to provide the minimum school term specified in
24Section 10-19, the State aid claim for that year shall be
25reduced by the State Superintendent of Education in an amount

HB5447 Engrossed- 1013 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1number of days required by this Code.
2    If the State Superintendent of Education determines that
3the failure to provide the minimum school term was occasioned
4by an act or acts of God, or was occasioned by conditions
5beyond the control of the school district which posed a
6hazardous threat to the health and safety of pupils, the State
7aid claim need not be reduced.
8    If a school district is precluded from providing the
9minimum hours of instruction required for a full day of
10attendance due to (A) an adverse weather condition, (B) a
11condition beyond the control of the school district that poses
12a hazardous threat to the health and safety of students, or (C)
13beginning with the 2016-2017 school year, the utilization of

19provided at least one hour of instruction prior to the closure
20of the school district, (ii) a school building has provided at
21least one hour of instruction prior to the closure of the
22school building, or (iii) the normal start time of the school

4immediately preceding the closure of the affected school
5building or, if approved by the State Board of Education,
6utilize the provisions of an e-learning program for the
7affected school building as prescribed in Section 10-20.56 of
8this Code. The partial or no day of attendance described in
9this Section and the reasons therefore shall be certified
10within a month of the closing or delayed start by the school
11district superintendent to the regional superintendent of
12schools for forwarding to the State Superintendent of Education
13for approval.
14    Other than the utilization of any e-learning days as
15prescribed in Section 10-20.56 of this Code, no exception to

19emergency days provided for in its regular calendar.
20    If the State Superintendent of Education declares that an
21energy shortage exists during any part of the school year for
22the State or a designated portion of the State, a district may
23operate the school attendance centers within the district 4
24days of the week during the time of the shortage by extending
25each existing school day by one clock hour of school work, and

3    Sec. 22-80. Student athletes; concussions and head
4injuries.
5    (a) The General Assembly recognizes all of the following:
6        (1) Concussions are one of the most commonly reported
7    injuries in children and adolescents who participate in
8    sports and recreational activities. The Centers for
9    Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as
10    3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related
11    concussions occur in the United States each year. A
12    concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or
13    body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the
14    skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death are
15    significant when a concussion or head injury is not
16    properly evaluated and managed.
17        (2) Concussions are a type of brain injury that can
18    range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain
19    normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or
20    unorganized sport or recreational activity and can result
21    from a fall or from players colliding with each other, the
22    ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or
23    without loss of consciousness, but the vast majority of
24    concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
25        (3) Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1155 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    a head injury leaves a young athlete especially vulnerable
2    to greater injury and even death. The General Assembly
3    recognizes that, despite having generally recognized
4    return-to-play standards for concussions and head
5    injuries, some affected youth athletes are prematurely
6    returned to play, resulting in actual or potential physical
7    injury or death to youth athletes in this State.
8        (4) Student athletes who have sustained a concussion
9    may need informal or formal accommodations, modifications
10    of curriculum, and monitoring by medical or academic staff
11    until the student is fully recovered. To that end, all
12    schools are encouraged to establish a return-to-learn
13    protocol that is based on peer-reviewed scientific
14    evidence consistent with Centers for Disease Control and
15    Prevention guidelines and conduct baseline testing for
16    student athletes.

3    notification requirement if the student did not receive at
4    least 2 days advance notice, but the student shall notify
5    the school's administration as soon as possible of the
6    absence. A student whose absence is excused under this
7    paragraph 7 shall be counted as if the student attended
8    school for purposes of calculating the average daily
9    attendance of students in the school district. A student
10    whose absence is excused under this paragraph 7 must be
11    allowed a reasonable time to make up school work missed
12    during the absence. If the student satisfactorily
13    completes the school work, the day of absence shall be
14    counted as a day of compulsory attendance and he or she may
15    not be penalized for that absence; and
16        8. Any child absent from a public school on a
17    particular day or days or at a particular time of day for
18    the reason that his or her parent or legal guardian is an
19    active duty member of the uniformed services and has been
20    called to duty for, is on leave from, or has immediately
21    returned from deployment to a combat zone or combat-support
22    postings. Such a student shall be granted 5 days of excused
23    absences in any school year and, at the discretion of the
24    school board, additional excused absences to visit the
25    student's parent or legal guardian relative to such leave
26    or deployment of the parent or legal guardian. In the case

4    to any period of excused absence and for ensuring that such
5    assignments are completed by the student prior to his or
6    her return to school from such period of excused absence.

4private, and parochial school must give notice of this dental
5examination requirement to the parents and guardians of
6students at least 60 days before May 15th of each school year.
7    (1.10) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, all

1access to a physician licensed to practice medicine in all of
2its branches who provides eye examinations or to a licensed
3optometrist. Each public, private, and parochial school must
4give notice of this eye examination requirement to the parents
5and guardians of students in compliance with rules of the
6Department of Public Health. Nothing in this Section shall be
7construed to allow a school to exclude a child from attending
8because of a parent's or guardian's failure to obtain an eye
9examination for the child.
10    (2) The Department of Public Health shall promulgate rules
11and regulations specifying the examinations and procedures
12that constitute a health examination, which shall include an

17exam), and a dental examination and may recommend by rule that
18certain additional examinations be performed. The rules and
19regulations of the Department of Public Health shall specify
20that a tuberculosis skin test screening shall be included as a
21required part of each health examination included under this
22Section if the child resides in an area designated by the

24tuberculosis. With respect to the developmental screening and
25the social and emotional screening, the Department of Public
26Health must develop rules and appropriate revisions to the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1175 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1Child Health Examination form in conjunction with a statewide
2organization representing school boards; a statewide
3organization representing pediatricians; statewide
4organizations representing individuals holding Illinois
5educator licenses with school support personnel endorsements,
6including school social workers, school psychologists, and
7school nurses; a statewide organization representing
8children's mental health experts; a statewide organization
9representing school principals; the Director of Healthcare and
10Family Services or his or her designee, the State
11Superintendent of Education or his or her designee; and
12representatives of other appropriate State agencies and, at a
13minimum, must recommend the use of validated screening tools
14appropriate to the child's age or grade, and, with regard to
15the social and emotional screening, require recording only
16whether or not the screening was completed. The rules shall
17take into consideration the screening recommendations of the
18American Academy of Pediatrics and must be consistent with the
19State Board of Education's social and emotional learning
20standards. The Department of Public Health shall specify that a
21diabetes screening as defined by rule shall be included as a
22required part of each health examination. Diabetes testing is
23not required.
24    Physicians licensed to practice medicine in all of its
25branches, licensed advanced practice registered nurses, or
26licensed physician assistants shall be responsible for the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1176 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1performance of the health examinations, other than dental
2examinations, eye examinations, and vision and hearing
3screening, and shall sign all report forms required by
4subsection (4) of this Section that pertain to those portions
5of the health examination for which the physician, advanced
6practice registered nurse, or physician assistant is
7responsible. If a registered nurse performs any part of a
8health examination, then a physician licensed to practice
9medicine in all of its branches must review and sign all
10required report forms. Licensed dentists shall perform all
11dental examinations and shall sign all report forms required by
12subsection (4) of this Section that pertain to the dental
13examinations. Physicians licensed to practice medicine in all
14its branches or licensed optometrists shall perform all eye
15examinations required by this Section and shall sign all report
16forms required by subsection (4) of this Section that pertain
17to the eye examination. For purposes of this Section, an eye
18examination shall at a minimum include history, visual acuity,
19subjective refraction to best visual acuity near and far,
20internal and external examination, and a glaucoma evaluation,
21as well as any other tests or observations that in the
22professional judgment of the doctor are necessary. Vision and
23hearing screening tests, which shall not be considered
24examinations as that term is used in this Section, shall be
25conducted in accordance with rules and regulations of the
26Department of Public Health, and by individuals whom the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1177 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1Department of Public Health has certified. In these rules and
2regulations, the Department of Public Health shall require that
3individuals conducting vision screening tests give a child's
4parent or guardian written notification, before the vision
5screening is conducted, that states, "Vision screening is not a
6substitute for a complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye
7doctor. Your child is not required to undergo this vision
8screening if an optometrist or ophthalmologist has completed
9and signed a report form indicating that an examination has
10been administered within the previous 12 months.".
11    (2.5) With respect to the developmental screening and the
12social and emotional screening portion of the health
13examination, each child may present proof of having been
14screened in accordance with this Section and the rules adopted
15under this Section before October 15th of the school year. With
16regard to the social and emotional screening only, the
17examining health care provider shall only record whether or not
18the screening was completed. If the child fails to present
19proof of the developmental screening or the social and
20emotional screening portions of the health examination by
21October 15th of the school year, qualified school support
22personnel may, with a parent's or guardian's consent, offer the
23developmental screening or the social and emotional screening
24to the child. Each public, private, and parochial school must
25give notice of the developmental screening and social and
26emotional screening requirements to the parents and guardians

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1178 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1of students in compliance with the rules of the Department of
2Public Health. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
3allow a school to exclude a child from attending because of a
4parent's or guardian's failure to obtain a developmental
5screening or a social and emotional screening for the child.
6Once a developmental screening or a social and emotional
7screening is completed and proof has been presented to the
8school, the school may, with a parent's or guardian's consent,
9make available appropriate school personnel to work with the
10parent or guardian, the child, and the provider who signed the
11screening form to obtain any appropriate evaluations and
12services as indicated on the form and in other information and
13documentation provided by the parents, guardians, or provider.
14    (3) Every child shall, at or about the same time as he or
15she receives a health examination required by subsection (1) of
16this Section, present to the local school proof of having
17received such immunizations against preventable communicable
18diseases as the Department of Public Health shall require by
19rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this Section and
20the Communicable Disease Prevention Act.
21    (4) The individuals conducting the health examination,
22dental examination, or eye examination shall record the fact of
23having conducted the examination, and such additional
24information as required, including for a health examination
25data relating to asthma and obesity (including at a minimum,
26date of birth, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and date

2Health and the State Board of Education shall prescribe for
3statewide use. The examiner shall summarize on the report form
4any condition that he or she suspects indicates a need for
5special services, including for a health examination factors
6relating to asthma or obesity. The duty to summarize on the
7report form does not apply to social and emotional screenings.
8The confidentiality of the information and records relating to
9the developmental screening and the social and emotional
10screening shall be determined by the statutes, rules, and
11professional ethics governing the type of provider conducting
12the screening. The individuals confirming the administration
13of required immunizations shall record as indicated on the form
14that the immunizations were administered.
15    (5) If a child does not submit proof of having had either
16the health examination or the immunization as required, then
17the child shall be examined or receive the immunization, as the
18case may be, and present proof by October 15 of the current
19school year, or by an earlier date of the current school year
20established by a school district. To establish a date before
21October 15 of the current school year for the health
22examination or immunization as required, a school district must
23give notice of the requirements of this Section 60 days prior
24to the earlier established date. If for medical reasons one or
25more of the required immunizations must be given after October
2615 of the current school year, or after an earlier established

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1180 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1date of the current school year, then the child shall present,
2by October 15, or by the earlier established date, a schedule
3for the administration of the immunizations and a statement of
4the medical reasons causing the delay, both the schedule and
5the statement being issued by the physician, advanced practice
6registered nurse, physician assistant, registered nurse, or
7local health department that will be responsible for
8administration of the remaining required immunizations. If a
9child does not comply by October 15, or by the earlier
10established date of the current school year, with the
11requirements of this subsection, then the local school
12authority shall exclude that child from school until such time
13as the child presents proof of having had the health
14examination as required and presents proof of having received
15those required immunizations which are medically possible to
16receive immediately. During a child's exclusion from school for
17noncompliance with this subsection, the child's parents or
18legal guardian shall be considered in violation of Section 26-1
19and subject to any penalty imposed by Section 26-10. This
20subsection (5) does not apply to dental examinations, eye
21examinations, and the developmental screening and the social
22and emotional screening portions of the health examination. If
23the student is an out-of-state transfer student and does not
24have the proof required under this subsection (5) before
25October 15 of the current year or whatever date is set by the
26school district, then he or she may only attend classes (i) if

1he or she has proof that an appointment for the required
2vaccinations has been scheduled with a party authorized to
3submit proof of the required vaccinations. If the proof of
4vaccination required under this subsection (5) is not submitted
5within 30 days after the student is permitted to attend
6classes, then the student is not to be permitted to attend
7classes until proof of the vaccinations has been properly
8submitted. No school district or employee of a school district
9shall be held liable for any injury or illness to another
10person that results from admitting an out-of-state transfer
11student to class that has an appointment scheduled pursuant to
12this subsection (5).
13    (6) Every school shall report to the State Board of
14Education by November 15, in the manner which that agency shall
15require, the number of children who have received the necessary
16immunizations and the health examination (other than a dental
17examination or eye examination) as required, indicating, of
18those who have not received the immunizations and examination
19as required, the number of children who are exempt from health
20examination and immunization requirements on religious or
21medical grounds as provided in subsection (8). On or before
22December 1 of each year, every public school district and
23registered nonpublic school shall make publicly available the
24immunization data they are required to submit to the State
25Board of Education by November 15. The immunization data made
26publicly available must be identical to the data the school

5number of children who have received the required dental
6examination, indicating, of those who have not received the
7required dental examination, the number of children who are
8exempt from the dental examination on religious grounds as
9provided in subsection (8) of this Section and the number of
10children who have received a waiver under subsection (1.5) of

14number of children who have received the required eye
15examination, indicating, of those who have not received the
16required eye examination, the number of children who are exempt
17from the eye examination as provided in subsection (8) of this
18Section, the number of children who have received a waiver
19under subsection (1.10) of this Section, and the total number
20of children in noncompliance with the eye examination
21requirement.
22    The reported information under this subsection (6) shall be
23provided to the Department of Public Health by the State Board
24of Education.

1Section is below 90% of the number of pupils enrolled in the
2school district, 10% of each State aid payment made pursuant to
3Section 18-8.05 or 18-8.15 to the school district for such year
4may be withheld by the State Board of Education until the
5number of students in compliance with subsection (5) is the
6applicable specified percentage or higher.
7    (8) Children of parents or legal guardians who object to
8health, dental, or eye examinations or any part thereof, to
9immunizations, or to vision and hearing screening tests on
10religious grounds shall not be required to undergo the
11examinations, tests, or immunizations to which they so object
12if such parents or legal guardians present to the appropriate
13local school authority a signed Certificate of Religious
14Exemption detailing the grounds for objection and the specific
15immunizations, tests, or examinations to which they object. The
16grounds for objection must set forth the specific religious
17belief that conflicts with the examination, test,
18immunization, or other medical intervention. The signed
19certificate shall also reflect the parent's or legal guardian's
20understanding of the school's exclusion policies in the case of
21a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak or exposure. The
22certificate must also be signed by the authorized examining
23health care provider responsible for the performance of the
24child's health examination confirming that the provider
25provided education to the parent or legal guardian on the
26benefits of immunization and the health risks to the student

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1184 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1and to the community of the communicable diseases for which
2immunization is required in this State. However, the health
3care provider's signature on the certificate reflects only that
4education was provided and does not allow a health care
5provider grounds to determine a religious exemption. Those
6receiving immunizations required under this Code shall be
7provided with the relevant vaccine information statements that
8are required to be disseminated by the federal National
9Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which may contain
10information on circumstances when a vaccine should not be
11administered, prior to administering a vaccine. A healthcare
12provider may consider including without limitation the
13nationally accepted recommendations from federal agencies such
14as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the
15information outlined in the relevant vaccine information
16statement, and vaccine package inserts, along with the
17healthcare provider's clinical judgment, to determine whether
18any child may be more susceptible to experiencing an adverse
19vaccine reaction than the general population, and, if so, the
20healthcare provider may exempt the child from an immunization
21or adopt an individualized immunization schedule. The
22Certificate of Religious Exemption shall be created by the
23Department of Public Health and shall be made available and
24used by parents and legal guardians by the beginning of the
252015-2016 school year. Parents or legal guardians must submit
26the Certificate of Religious Exemption to their local school

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1185 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1authority prior to entering kindergarten, sixth grade, and
2ninth grade for each child for which they are requesting an
3exemption. The religious objection stated need not be directed
4by the tenets of an established religious organization.
5However, general philosophical or moral reluctance to allow
6physical examinations, eye examinations, immunizations, vision
7and hearing screenings, or dental examinations does not provide
8a sufficient basis for an exception to statutory requirements.
9The local school authority is responsible for determining if
10the content of the Certificate of Religious Exemption
11constitutes a valid religious objection. The local school
12authority shall inform the parent or legal guardian of
13exclusion procedures, in accordance with the Department's
14rules under Part 690 of Title 77 of the Illinois Administrative
15Code, at the time the objection is presented.
16    If the physical condition of the child is such that any one
17or more of the immunizing agents should not be administered,
18the examining physician, advanced practice registered nurse,
19or physician assistant responsible for the performance of the
20health examination shall endorse that fact upon the health
21examination form.
22    Exempting a child from the health, dental, or eye
23examination does not exempt the child from participation in the
24program of physical education training provided in Sections
2527-5 through 27-7 of this Code.

4    Section 360. The Unclaimed Life Insurance Benefits Act is
5amended by changing Sections 15 and 35 as follows:
 
6    (215 ILCS 185/15)
7    Sec. 15. Insurer conduct.
8    (a) An insurer shall initially perform a comparison of its
9insureds', annuitants', and retained asset account holders'
10in-force policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset
11accounts in force on or after January 1, 2017 by using the full
12Death Master File. The initial comparison shall be completed on
13or before December 31, 2017. An insurer required to perform a
14comparison of its insureds', annuitants', and retained asset
15account holders' in-force policies, annuity contracts, and
16retained asset accounts in force on or after January 1, 2012
17shall perform a comparison of policies, annuity contracts, and
18retained asset accounts in force between January 1, 2012 and
19December 31, 2016 on or before December 31, 2018 by using the
20full Death Master File. An insurer required to perform a
21comparison of electronic searchable files concerning its
22insureds', annuitants', and retained asset account holders'
23in-force policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset
24accounts in force on or after January 1, 2000 shall perform a

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1313 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1comparison of policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset
2accounts in force between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2016
3on or before December 31, 2018 by using the full Death Master
4File. Thereafter, an insurer shall perform a comparison on at
5least a semi-annual basis using the Death Master File update
6files for comparisons to identify potential matches of its
7insureds, annuitants, and retained asset account holders. In
8the event that one of the insurer's lines of business conducts
9a search for matches of its insureds, annuitants, and retained
10asset account holders against the Death Master File at
11intervals more frequently than semi-annually, then all lines of
12the insurer's business shall conduct searches for matches
13against the Death Master File with the same frequency. Within 6
14months after acquisition of policies, annuity contracts, or
15retained asset accounts from another insurer, the acquiring
16insurer shall compare all newly acquired policies, annuity
17contracts, and retained asset accounts that were not searched
18by the previous insurer in compliance with this Act against the
19complete Death Master File to identify potential matches of its
20insureds, annuitants, and retained asset account holders. Upon
21any subsequent acquisition of policies, annuity contracts, or
22retained asset accounts from another insurer, when the previous
23insurer has already conducted a search of the newly acquired
24policies, annuity contracts, and retained asset accounts using
25the complete Death Master File, the acquiring insurer shall
26compare all newly acquired policies, annuity contracts, and

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1314 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1retained asset accounts using all of the Death Master File
2updates since the time the previous insurer conducted the
3complete search to identify potential matches of its insureds,
4annuitants, and retained asset account holders.
5    An insured, an annuitant, or a retained asset account
6holder is presumed dead if the date of his or her death is
7indicated by the comparison required in this subsection (a),
8unless the insurer has competent and substantial evidence that
9the person is living, including, but not limited to, a contact
10made by the insurer with the person or his or her legal
11representative.
12    For those potential matches identified as a result of a
13Death Master File match, the insurer shall within 120 days
14after the date of death notice, if the insurer has not been
15contacted by a beneficiary, determine whether benefits are due
16in accordance with the applicable policy or contract and, if
17benefits are due in accordance with the applicable policy or
18contract:
19        (1) use good faith efforts, which shall be documented
20    by the insurer, to locate the beneficiary or beneficiaries;
21    the Department shall establish by administrative rule
22    minimum standards for what constitutes good faith efforts
23    to locate a beneficiary, which shall include: (A) searching
24    insurer records; (B) the appropriate use of First Class
25    United States mail, e-mail addresses, and telephone calls;
26    and (C) reasonable efforts by insurers to obtain updated

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1315 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    contact information for the beneficiary or beneficiaries;
2    good faith efforts shall not include additional attempts to
3    contact the beneficiary at an address already confirmed not
4    to be current; and
5        (2) provide the appropriate claims forms or
6    instructions to the beneficiary or beneficiaries to make a
7    claim, including the need to provide an official death
8    certificate if applicable under the policy or annuity
9    contract.
10    (b) Insurers shall implement procedures to account for the
11following when conducting searches of the Death Master File:
12        (1) common nicknames, initials used in lieu of a first
13    or middle name, use of a middle name, compound first and
14    middle names, and interchanged first and middle names;
15        (2) compound last names, maiden or married names, and
16    hyphens, blank spaces, or apostrophes in last names;
17        (3) transposition of the "month" and "date" portions of
18    the date of birth; and
19        (4) incomplete social security numbers.
20    (c) To the extent permitted by law, an insurer may disclose
21the minimum necessary personal information about the insured,
22annuity owner, retained asset account holder, or beneficiary to
23a person whom the insurer reasonably believes may be able to
24assist the insurer with locating the beneficiary or a person
25otherwise entitled to payment of the claims proceeds.
26    (d) An insurer or its service provider shall not charge any

1beneficiary or other authorized representative for any fees or
2costs associated with a Death Master File search or
3verification of a Death Master File match conducted pursuant to
4this Act.
5    (e) The benefits from a policy, annuity contract, or a
6retained asset account, plus any applicable accrued interest,
7shall first be payable to the designated beneficiaries or
8owners and, in the event the beneficiaries or owners cannot be
9found, shall be reported and delivered to the State Treasurer
10pursuant to the Revised Uniform Unclaimed Property Act. Nothing
11in this subsection (e) is intended to alter the amounts
12reportable under the existing provisions of the Revised Uniform
13Unclaimed Property Act or to allow the imposition of additional
14statutory interest under Article XIV of the Illinois Insurance
15Code.
16    (f) Failure to meet any requirement of this Section with
17such frequency as to constitute a general business practice is
18a violation of Section 424 of the Illinois Insurance Code.
19Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or imply a
20private cause of action for a violation of this Section.

18    (b) The Commission shall design and implement a program,
19whereby each telecommunications carrier providing local
20exchange service shall provide a telecommunications relay
21system, using third party intervention to connect those persons

25public telephone service to persons who have a hearing or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1319 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1speech disability. In order to design a telecommunications
2relay system which will meet the requirements of those persons
3with a hearing or speech disability available at a reasonable
4cost, the Commission shall initiate an investigation and
5conduct public hearings to determine the most cost-effective
6method of providing telecommunications relay service to those

20under this Section. Beginning no later than April 1, 2016, and
21on a yearly basis thereafter, the Commission shall initiate a
22proceeding to establish the competitively neutral amount to be
23charged or assessed to subscribers of telecommunications
24carriers and wireless carriers, Interconnected VoIP service

11    "Telecommunications carrier providing local exchange
12service" includes, without otherwise limiting the meaning of
13the term, telecommunications carriers which are purely mutual
14concerns, having no rates or charges for services, but paying
15the operating expenses by assessment upon the members of such a

18Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts which
19were erroneously paid to a different taxing body or fund. The
20amount paid to the Illinois Telecommunications Access

22amount of refunds made during the second preceding calendar
23month by the Department to retailers under this Section or any
24amount that the Department determines is necessary to offset

6Illinois Telecommunications Access Corporation Fund during
7every year of remitted assessments. Of the 2% deducted by the
8Department, one-half shall be transferred into the Tax
9Compliance and Administration Fund to reimburse the Department
10for its direct costs of administering the collection and
11remittance of the assessment. The remaining one-half shall be
12transferred into the Public Utility Fund to reimburse the
13Commission for its costs of distributing to the Illinois
14Telecommunications Access Corporation the amount certified by
15the Department for distribution. The amount to be charged or
16assessed under subsections (c) and (f) is not imposed on a
17provider or the consumer for wireless Lifeline service where
18the consumer does not pay the provider for the service. Where
19the consumer purchases from the provider optional minutes,

21Lifeline benefit, a consumer must pay the charge or assessment,
22and it must be collected by the seller according to this

11Department shall report to the General Assembly on the status
12of the provision set forth in this paragraph.
13    The Department shall establish a methodology to remind

13health outcomes and cost of care for those served by the pilot
14program compared to similarly situated patients who are not
15served by the pilot program.
16    The Department shall require all networks of care to
17develop a means either internally or by contract with experts
18in navigation and community outreach to navigate cancer
19patients to comprehensive care in a timely fashion. The
20Department shall require all networks of care to include access
21for patients diagnosed with cancer to at least one academic

13used for any purpose other than to directly assist customers
14and (ii) be applicable to utilities serving less than 100,000

16Arrearage Reduction Program or Supplemental Arrearage
17Reduction Program pursuant to Section 18 of this Act shall be
18entitled to net those amounts necessary to fund and recover the
19costs of such Programs as authorized by that Section that is no
20more than the incremental change in such Energy Assistance
21Charge authorized by Public Act 96-33. If a customer makes a
22partial payment, a public utility, municipal utility, or
23electric cooperative may elect either: (i) to apply such

4    (g) The Department of Revenue shall deposit into the
5Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund all moneys
6remitted to it in accordance with subsection (f) of this
7Section; provided, however, that the amounts remitted by each

26electric or gas cooperative makes an affirmative decision to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1532 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1impose the charge. If a municipal electric or gas utility or an
2electric cooperative makes an affirmative decision to impose
3the charge provided by this Section, the municipal electric or
4gas utility or electric cooperative shall inform the Department
5of Revenue in writing of such decision when it begins to impose

1    Section 460. The Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act
2is amended by changing Sections 7.4 and 7.14 as follows:
 
3    (325 ILCS 5/7.4)  (from Ch. 23, par. 2057.4)
4    Sec. 7.4. (a) The Department shall be capable of receiving
5reports of suspected child abuse or neglect 24 hours a day, 7
6days a week. Whenever the Department receives a report alleging
7that a child is a truant as defined in Section 26-2a of the The
8School Code, as now or hereafter amended, the Department shall
9notify the superintendent of the school district in which the
10child resides and the appropriate superintendent of the
11educational service region. The notification to the
12appropriate officials by the Department shall not be considered
13an allegation of abuse or neglect under this Act.
14    (a-5) The Department of Children and Family Services may
15implement a "differential response program" in accordance with
16criteria, standards, and procedures prescribed by rule. The
17program may provide that, upon receiving a report, the
18Department shall determine whether to conduct a family
19assessment or an investigation as appropriate to prevent or
20provide a remedy for child abuse or neglect.
21    For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "family assessment"
22means a comprehensive assessment of child safety, risk of
23subsequent child maltreatment, and family strengths and needs
24that is applied to a child maltreatment report that does not

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1535 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1allege substantial child endangerment. "Family assessment"
2does not include a determination as to whether child
3maltreatment occurred but does determine the need for services
4to address the safety of family members and the risk of
5subsequent maltreatment.
6    For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "investigation"
7means fact-gathering related to the current safety of a child
8and the risk of subsequent abuse or neglect that determines
9whether a report of suspected child abuse or neglect should be
10indicated or unfounded and whether child protective services
11are needed.
12    Under the "differential response program" implemented
13under this subsection (a-5), the Department:
14        (1) Shall conduct an investigation on reports
15    involving substantial child abuse or neglect.
16        (2) Shall begin an immediate investigation if, at any
17    time when it is using a family assessment response, it
18    determines that there is reason to believe that substantial
19    child abuse or neglect or a serious threat to the child's
20    safety exists.
21        (3) May conduct a family assessment for reports that do
22    not allege substantial child endangerment. In determining
23    that a family assessment is appropriate, the Department may
24    consider issues, including, but not limited to, child
25    safety, parental cooperation, and the need for an immediate
26    response.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1536 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        (4) Shall promulgate criteria, standards, and
2    procedures that shall be applied in making this
3    determination, taking into consideration the Child
4    Endangerment Risk Assessment Protocol of the Department.
5        (5) May conduct a family assessment on a report that
6    was initially screened and assigned for an investigation.
7    In determining that a complete investigation is not
8required, the Department must document the reason for
9terminating the investigation and notify the local law
10enforcement agency or the Department of State Police if the
11local law enforcement agency or Department of State Police is
12conducting a joint investigation.
13    Once it is determined that a "family assessment" will be
14implemented, the case shall not be reported to the central
15register of abuse and neglect reports.
16    During a family assessment, the Department shall collect
17any available and relevant information to determine child
18safety, risk of subsequent abuse or neglect, and family
19strengths.
20    Information collected includes, but is not limited to, when
21relevant: information with regard to the person reporting the
22alleged abuse or neglect, including the nature of the
23reporter's relationship to the child and to the alleged
24offender, and the basis of the reporter's knowledge for the
25report; the child allegedly being abused or neglected; the
26alleged offender; the child's caretaker; and other collateral

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1537 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1sources having relevant information related to the alleged
2abuse or neglect. Information relevant to the assessment must
3be asked for, and may include:
4        (A) The child's sex and age, prior reports of abuse or
5    neglect, information relating to developmental
6    functioning, credibility of the child's statement, and
7    whether the information provided under this paragraph (A)
8    is consistent with other information collected during the
9    course of the assessment or investigation.
10        (B) The alleged offender's age, a record check for
11    prior reports of abuse or neglect, and criminal charges and
12    convictions. The alleged offender may submit supporting
13    documentation relevant to the assessment.
14        (C) Collateral source information regarding the
15    alleged abuse or neglect and care of the child. Collateral

2    Protective Service Unit shall make reasonable efforts to
3    conduct the initial investigation in coordination with the
4    employee's supervisor.

6    indication of potential child abuse or neglect, it shall
7    then commence a formal investigation under paragraph (3) of

5a religious institution or religious official having
6supervisory or hierarchical authority over a member of the
7clergy accused of the abuse of a child, in the course of its
8investigation, the Department shall notify the employer or the
9religious institution or religious official, in writing, when a
10report is unfounded so that any record of the investigation can
11be expunged from the employee's or member of the clergy's

2    (405 ILCS 115/5)
3    Sec. 5. Findings. The General Assembly finds that:
4        (1) the medical science is clear that mental health
5    treatment works to improve mental health conditions and
6    manage symptoms but it can take, on average, 10 years for a
7    child or young adult with a significant condition to
8    receive the right diagnosis and treatment from the time the
9    first symptoms began, and nearly two-thirds of children and
10    adults never get treatment;
11        (2) long treatment lags can lead to debilitating
12    conditions and permanent disability;
13        (3) suicide, often due to untreated depression, is the
14    second leading cause of death in this State for children
15    and young adults ranging in age from 10 to 34;
16        (4) between 40% to 50% of heroin and other drug
17    addiction begins to self-medicate an underlying, untreated
18    mental health condition;
19        (5) important State reforms on improving access to
20    mental health and substance use treatment are underway and
21    others are pending, but more needs to be done to address
22    this State's serious systemic challenges to early
23    identification and treatment of mental health conditions;
24        (6) the medical and mental health treatment
25    communities across this State are implementing many

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1550 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    evidence-based best practices on early screening,
2    identification and treatment of mental health conditions,
3    including co-located and integrated care, despite limited
4    resources and major access to care challenges across the
5    State; and
6        (7) establishing an Advisory Council on Early
7    Identification and Treatment of Mental Health Conditions
8    to:
9            (A) report and share information on evidence-based
10        best practices related to early identification and
11        treatment being implemented across this State and
12        other states;
13            (B) assist in advancing all providers to move
14        toward implementation of evidence-based best
15        practices, irrespective of payer such as Medicaid or
16        private insurance; ,
17            (C) identify the barriers to statewide
18        implementation of early identification and treatment
19        across all providers; and
20            (D) reduce the stigma of mental health conditions
21        by treating them like any other medical condition;
22    will outline the path to enabling thousands of children,
23    youth, and young adults in this State living with mental
24    health conditions, including those related to trauma, to
25    get the early diagnosis and treatment they need to

10    Sec. 15-301. Permits for excess size and weight.
11    (a) The Department with respect to highways under its
12jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
13under their jurisdiction may, in their discretion, upon
14application and good cause being shown therefor, issue a
15special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a
16vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of
17vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified in this Act or
18otherwise not in conformity with this Act upon any highway
19under the jurisdiction of the party granting such permit and
20for the maintenance of which the party is responsible.
21Applications and permits other than those in written or printed
22form may only be accepted from and issued to the company or
23individual making the movement. Except for an application to
24move directly across a highway, it shall be the duty of the
25applicant to establish in the application that the load to be

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1729 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1moved by such vehicle or combination cannot reasonably be
2dismantled or disassembled, the reasonableness of which shall
3be determined by the Secretary of the Department. For the
4purpose of over length movements, more than one object may be
5carried side by side as long as the height, width, and weight
6laws are not exceeded and the cause for the over length is not
7due to multiple objects. For the purpose of over height
8movements, more than one object may be carried as long as the
9cause for the over height is not due to multiple objects and
10the length, width, and weight laws are not exceeded. For the
11purpose of an over width movement, more than one object may be
12carried as long as the cause for the over width is not due to
13multiple objects and length, height, and weight laws are not
14exceeded. Except for transporting fluid milk products, no State
15or local agency shall authorize the issuance of excess size or
16weight permits for vehicles and loads that are divisible and
17that can be carried, when divided, within the existing size or
18weight maximums specified in this Chapter. Any excess size or
19weight permit issued in violation of the provisions of this
20Section shall be void at issue and any movement made thereunder
21shall not be authorized under the terms of the void permit. In
22any prosecution for a violation of this Chapter when the
23authorization of an excess size or weight permit is at issue,
24it is the burden of the defendant to establish that the permit
25was valid because the load to be moved could not reasonably be
26dismantled or disassembled, or was otherwise nondivisible.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1730 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    (b) The application for any such permit shall: (1) state
2whether such permit is requested for a single trip or for
3limited continuous operation; (2) state if the applicant is an
4authorized carrier under the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property
5Law, if so, his certificate, registration or permit number
6issued by the Illinois Commerce Commission; (3) specifically
7describe and identify the vehicle or vehicles and load to be
8operated or moved except that for vehicles or vehicle
9combinations registered by the Department as provided in
10Section 15-319 of this Chapter, only the Illinois Department of
11Transportation's (IDT) registration number or classification
12need be given; (4) state the routing requested including the
13points of origin and destination, and may identify and include
14a request for routing to the nearest certified scale in
15accordance with the Department's rules and regulations,
16provided the applicant has approval to travel on local roads;
17and (5) state if the vehicles or loads are being transported
18for hire. No permits for the movement of a vehicle or load for
19hire shall be issued to any applicant who is required under the
20Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law to have a certificate,
21registration or permit and does not have such certificate,
22registration or permit.
23    (c) The Department or local authority when not inconsistent
24with traffic safety is authorized to issue or withhold such
25permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is issued at its
26discretion to prescribe the route or routes to be traveled, to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1731 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1limit the number of trips, to establish seasonal or other time
2limitations within which the vehicles described may be operated
3on the highways indicated, or otherwise to limit or prescribe
4conditions of operations of such vehicle or vehicles, when
5necessary to assure against undue damage to the road
6foundations, surfaces or structures, and may require such
7undertaking or other security as may be deemed necessary to
8compensate for any injury to any roadway or road structure. The
9Department shall maintain a daily record of each permit issued
10along with the fee and the stipulated dimensions, weights,
11conditions and restrictions authorized and this record shall be
12presumed correct in any case of questions or dispute. The
13Department shall install an automatic device for recording
14applications received and permits issued by telephone. In
15making application by telephone, the Department and applicant
16waive all objections to the recording of the conversation.
17    (d) The Department shall, upon application in writing from
18any local authority, issue an annual permit authorizing the
19local authority to move oversize highway construction,
20transportation, utility and maintenance equipment over roads
21under the jurisdiction of the Department. The permit shall be
22applicable only to equipment and vehicles owned by or
23registered in the name of the local authority, and no fee shall
24be charged for the issuance of such permits.
25    (e) As an exception to subsection paragraph (a) of this
26Section, the Department and local authorities, with respect to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1732 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1highways under their respective jurisdictions, in their
2discretion and upon application in writing may issue a special
3permit for limited continuous operation, authorizing the
4applicant to move loads of agricultural commodities on a 2-axle
52 axle single vehicle registered by the Secretary of State with
6axle loads not to exceed 35%, on a 3-axle or 4-axle 3 or 4 axle
7vehicle registered by the Secretary of State with axle loads
8not to exceed 20%, and on a 5-axle 5 axle vehicle registered by
9the Secretary of State not to exceed 10% above those provided
10in Section 15-111. The total gross weight of the vehicle,
11however, may not exceed the maximum gross weight of the
12registration class of the vehicle allowed under Section 3-815
13or 3-818 of this Code.
14    As used in this Section, "agricultural commodities" means:
15        (1) cultivated plants or agricultural produce grown
16    including, but is not limited to, corn, soybeans, wheat,
17    oats, grain sorghum, canola, and rice;
18        (2) livestock, including, but not limited to, hogs,
19    equine, sheep, and poultry;
20        (3) ensilage; and
21        (4) fruits and vegetables.
22    Permits may be issued for a period not to exceed 40 days
23and moves may be made of a distance not to exceed 50 miles from
24a field, an on-farm grain storage facility, a warehouse as
25defined in the Illinois Grain Code, or a livestock management
26facility as defined in the Livestock Management Facilities Act

1over any highway except the National System of Interstate and
2Defense Highways. The operator of the vehicle, however, must
3abide by posted bridge and posted highway weight limits. All
4implements of husbandry operating under this Section between
5sunset and sunrise shall be equipped as prescribed in Section
612-205.1.
7    (e-1) Upon a declaration by the Governor that an emergency
8harvest situation exists, a special permit issued by the
9Department under this Section shall be required from September
101 through December 31 during harvest season emergencies for a
11vehicle that exceeds the maximum axle weight and gross weight
12limits under Section 15-111 of this Code or exceeds the
13vehicle's registered gross weight, provided that the vehicle's
14axle weight and gross weight do not exceed 10% above the
15maximum limits under Section 15-111 of this Code and does not
16exceed the vehicle's registered gross weight by 10%. All other
17restrictions that apply to permits issued under this Section
18shall apply during the declared time period and no fee shall be
19charged for the issuance of those permits. Permits issued by
20the Department under this subsection (e-1) are only valid on
21federal and State highways under the jurisdiction of the
22Department, except interstate highways. With respect to
23highways under the jurisdiction of local authorities, the local
24authorities may, at their discretion, waive special permit
25requirements during harvest season emergencies, and set a
26divisible load weight limit not to exceed 10% above a vehicle's

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1734 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1registered gross weight, provided that the vehicle's axle
2weight and gross weight do not exceed 10% above the maximum
3limits specified in Section 15-111. Permits issued under this
4subsection (e-1) shall apply to all registered vehicles
5eligible to obtain permits under this Section, including
6vehicles used in private or for-hire movement of divisible load
7agricultural commodities during the declared time period.
8    (f) The form and content of the permit shall be determined
9by the Department with respect to highways under its
10jurisdiction and by local authorities with respect to highways
11under their jurisdiction. Every permit shall be in written form
12and carried in the vehicle or combination of vehicles to which
13it refers and shall be open to inspection by any police officer
14or authorized agent of any authority granting the permit and no
15person shall violate any of the terms or conditions of such
16special permit. Violation of the terms and conditions of the
17permit shall not be deemed a revocation of the permit; however,
18any vehicle and load found to be off the route prescribed in
19the permit shall be held to be operating without a permit. Any
20off route vehicle and load shall be required to obtain a new
21permit or permits, as necessary, to authorize the movement back
22onto the original permit routing. No rule or regulation, nor
23anything herein shall be construed to authorize any police
24officer, court, or authorized agent of any authority granting
25the permit to remove the permit from the possession of the
26permittee unless the permittee is charged with a fraudulent

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1735 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1permit violation as provided in subsection paragraph (i).
2However, upon arrest for an offense of violation of permit,
3operating without a permit when the vehicle is off route, or
4any size or weight offense under this Chapter when the
5permittee plans to raise the issuance of the permit as a
6defense, the permittee, or his agent, must produce the permit
7at any court hearing concerning the alleged offense.
8    If the permit designates and includes a routing to a
9certified scale, the permittee, while enroute to the designated
10scale, shall be deemed in compliance with the weight provisions
11of the permit provided the axle or gross weights do not exceed
12any of the permitted limits by more than the following amounts:
13        Single axle               2000 pounds
14        Tandem axle               3000 pounds
15        Gross                     5000 pounds
16    (g) The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to
17make available to interested persons a policy concerning
18reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of
19operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to
20those contained in this Section for the movement by special
21permit of vehicles, combinations, or loads which cannot
22reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, including
23manufactured and modular home sections and portions thereof.
24All rules, limitations and conditions or provisions adopted in
25the policy shall have due regard for the safety of the
26traveling public and the protection of the highway system and

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1736 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions
2of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. The requirements
3of the policy for flagmen and escort vehicles shall be the same
4for all moves of comparable size and weight. When escort
5vehicles are required, they shall meet the following
6requirements:
7        (1) All operators shall be 18 years of age or over and
8    properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
9        (2) Vehicles escorting oversized loads more than

14regulations regarding liability insurance or self insurance
15for vehicles with oversized loads promulgated under the
16Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Police vehicles may be
17required for escort under circumstances as required by rules
18and regulations of the Department.
19    (h) Violation of any rule, limitation or condition or
20provision of any permit issued in accordance with the
21provisions of this Section shall not render the entire permit
22null and void but the violator shall be deemed guilty of
23violation of permit and guilty of exceeding any size, weight or
24load limitations in excess of those authorized by the permit.
25The prescribed route or routes on the permit are not mere
26rules, limitations, conditions, or provisions of the permit,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1737 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1but are also the sole extent of the authorization granted by
2the permit. If a vehicle and load are found to be off the route
3or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing movement, the
4vehicle and load are operating without a permit. Any off-route
5off route movement shall be subject to the size and weight
6maximums, under the applicable provisions of this Chapter, as
7determined by the type or class highway upon which the vehicle
8and load are being operated.
9    (i) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made under
10a fraudulent permit the permit shall be void, and the person,
11firm, or corporation to whom such permit was granted, the
12driver of such vehicle in addition to the person who issued
13such permit and any accessory, shall be guilty of fraud and
14either one or all persons may be prosecuted for such violation.
15Any person, firm, or corporation committing such violation
16shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony and the Department shall
17not issue permits to the person, firm or corporation convicted
18of such violation for a period of one year after the date of
19conviction. Penalties for violations of this Section shall be
20in addition to any penalties imposed for violation of other
21Sections of this Code Act.
22    (j) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made in
23violation of a permit issued in accordance with this Section,
24the person to whom such permit was granted, or the driver of
25such vehicle, is guilty of such violation and either, but not
26both, persons may be prosecuted for such violation as stated in

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1738 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1this subsection (j). Any person, firm or corporation convicted
2of such violation shall be guilty of a petty offense and shall
3be fined for the first offense, not less than $50 nor more than
4$200 and, for the second offense by the same person, firm or
5corporation within a period of one year, not less than $200 nor
6more than $300 and, for the third offense by the same person,
7firm or corporation within a period of one year after the date
8of the first offense, not less than $300 nor more than $500 and
9the Department shall not issue permits to the person, firm or
10corporation convicted of a third offense during a period of one
11year after the date of conviction for such third offense.
12    (k) Whenever any vehicle is operated on local roads under
13permits for excess width or length issued by local authorities,
14such vehicle may be moved upon a State highway for a distance
15not to exceed one-half mile without a permit for the purpose of
16crossing the State highway.
17    (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
18the Department, with respect to highways under its
19jurisdiction, and local authorities, with respect to highways
20under their jurisdiction, may at their discretion authorize the
21movement of a vehicle in violation of any size or weight
22requirement, or both, that would not ordinarily be eligible for
23a permit, when there is a showing of extreme necessity that the
24vehicle and load should be moved without unnecessary delay.
25    For the purpose of this subsection, showing of extreme
26necessity shall be limited to the following: shipments of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1739 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1livestock, hazardous materials, liquid concrete being hauled
2in a mobile cement mixer, or hot asphalt.
3    (m) Penalties for violations of this Section shall be in
4addition to any penalties imposed for violating any other
5Section of this Code.
6    (n) The Department with respect to highways under its
7jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
8under their jurisdiction, in their discretion and upon
9application in writing, may issue a special permit for
10continuous limited operation, authorizing the applicant to
11operate a tow truck tow-truck that exceeds the weight limits

25significant negative impact on the condition of the pavement
26and structures along the proposed route, whether the load or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1741 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1vehicle as proposed causes a safety hazard to the traveling
2public, whether dismantling or disassembling the load promotes
3or stifles economic development and whether the proposed route
4travels less than 5 miles. A load is not required to be
5dismantled or disassembled for the purposes of subsection
6paragraph (a) if the Secretary of the Department determines
7there will be no significant negative impact to pavement or
8structures along the proposed route, the proposed load or
9vehicle causes no safety hazard to the traveling public,
10dismantling or disassembling the load does not promote economic
11development and the proposed route travels less than 5 miles.

13independent agency created by ordinance and charged by a unit
14of local government with the duty of investigating the conduct
15of law enforcement officers, concerning all minors under 18
16years of age must be maintained separate from the records of
17arrests and may not be open to public inspection or their
18contents disclosed to the public. For purposes of obtaining
19documents under this Section, a civil subpoena is not an order
20of the court.
21        (1) In cases where the law enforcement, or independent
22    agency, records concern a pending juvenile court case, the
23    party seeking to inspect the records shall provide actual
24    notice to the attorney or guardian ad litem of the minor
25    whose records are sought.

2    inspect the records shall provide actual notice to the
3    minor or the minor's parent or legal guardian, and the
4    matter shall be referred to the chief judge presiding over
5    matters pursuant to this Act.
6        (3) In determining whether the records should be
7    available for inspection, the court shall consider the
8    minor's interest in confidentiality and rehabilitation
9    over the moving party's interest in obtaining the
10    information. Any records obtained in violation of this
11    subsection (C) shall not be admissible in any criminal or
12    civil proceeding, or operate to disqualify a minor from
13    subsequently holding public office or securing employment,
14    or operate as a forfeiture of any public benefit, right,
15    privilege, or right to receive any license granted by
16    public authority.
17    (D) Nothing contained in subsection (C) of this Section
18shall prohibit the inspection or disclosure to victims and

20enforcement agencies when the inspection and disclosure is
21conducted in the presence of a law enforcement officer for the
22purpose of the identification or apprehension of any person
23subject to the provisions of this Act or for the investigation
24or prosecution of any crime.
25    (E) Law enforcement officers, and personnel of an
26independent agency created by ordinance and charged by a unit

1of local government with the duty of investigating the conduct
2of law enforcement officers, may not disclose the identity of
3any minor in releasing information to the general public as to
4the arrest, investigation or disposition of any case involving
5a minor.
6    (F) Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit law
7enforcement agencies from communicating with each other by
8letter, memorandum, teletype or intelligence alert bulletin or
9other means the identity or other relevant information
10pertaining to a person under 18 years of age if there are
11reasonable grounds to believe that the person poses a real and
12present danger to the safety of the public or law enforcement
13officers. The information provided under this subsection (F)
14shall remain confidential and shall not be publicly disclosed,
15except as otherwise allowed by law.
16    (G) Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the right of a
17Civil Service Commission or appointing authority of any state,
18county or municipality examining the character and fitness of
19an applicant for employment with a law enforcement agency,
20correctional institution, or fire department from obtaining
21and examining the records of any law enforcement agency
22relating to any record of the applicant having been arrested or

11    (705 ILCS 405/2-10)  (from Ch. 37, par. 802-10)
12    Sec. 2-10. Temporary custody hearing. At the appearance of
13the minor before the court at the temporary custody hearing,
14all witnesses present shall be examined before the court in
15relation to any matter connected with the allegations made in
16the petition.
17    (1) If the court finds that there is not probable cause to
18believe that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent it
19shall release the minor and dismiss the petition.
20    (2) If the court finds that there is probable cause to
21believe that the minor is abused, neglected or dependent, the
22court shall state in writing the factual basis supporting its
23finding and the minor, his or her parent, guardian, custodian
24and other persons able to give relevant testimony shall be
25examined before the court. The Department of Children and

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1786 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1Family Services shall give testimony concerning indicated
2reports of abuse and neglect, of which they are aware of
3through the central registry, involving the minor's parent,
4guardian or custodian. After such testimony, the court may,
5consistent with the health, safety and best interests of the
6minor, enter an order that the minor shall be released upon the
7request of parent, guardian or custodian if the parent,
8guardian or custodian appears to take custody. If it is
9determined that a parent's, guardian's, or custodian's
10compliance with critical services mitigates the necessity for
11removal of the minor from his or her home, the court may enter
12an Order of Protection setting forth reasonable conditions of
13behavior that a parent, guardian, or custodian must observe for
14a specified period of time, not to exceed 12 months, without a
15violation; provided, however, that the 12-month period shall
16begin anew after any violation. "Custodian" includes the
17Department of Children and Family Services, if it has been
18given custody of the child, or any other agency of the State
19which has been given custody or wardship of the child. If it is
20consistent with the health, safety and best interests of the
21minor, the court may also prescribe shelter care and order that
22the minor be kept in a suitable place designated by the court
23or in a shelter care facility designated by the Department of
24Children and Family Services or a licensed child welfare
25agency; however, on and after January 1, 2015 (the effective
26date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1, 2017, a minor

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1787 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1charged with a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961
2or the Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall
3not be placed in the custody of or committed to the Department
4of Children and Family Services by any court, except a minor
5less than 16 years of age and committed to the Department of
6Children and Family Services under Section 5-710 of this Act or
7a minor for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or
8dependency exists; and on and after January 1, 2017, a minor
9charged with a criminal offense under the Criminal Code of 1961
10or the Criminal Code of 2012 or adjudicated delinquent shall
11not be placed in the custody of or committed to the Department
12of Children and Family Services by any court, except a minor
13less than 15 years of age and committed to the Department of
14Children and Family Services under Section 5-710 of this Act or
15a minor for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or
16dependency exists. An independent basis exists when the
17allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or dependency do
18not arise from the same facts, incident, or circumstances which
19give rise to a charge or adjudication of delinquency.
20    In placing the minor, the Department or other agency shall,
21to the extent compatible with the court's order, comply with
22Section 7 of the Children and Family Services Act. In
23determining the health, safety and best interests of the minor
24to prescribe shelter care, the court must find that it is a
25matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the safety and
26protection of the minor or of the person or property of another

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1788 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1that the minor be placed in a shelter care facility or that he
2or she is likely to flee the jurisdiction of the court, and
3must further find that reasonable efforts have been made or
4that, consistent with the health, safety and best interests of
5the minor, no efforts reasonably can be made to prevent or
6eliminate the necessity of removal of the minor from his or her
7home. The court shall require documentation from the Department
8of Children and Family Services as to the reasonable efforts
9that were made to prevent or eliminate the necessity of removal
10of the minor from his or her home or the reasons why no efforts
11reasonably could be made to prevent or eliminate the necessity
12of removal. When a minor is placed in the home of a relative,
13the Department of Children and Family Services shall complete a
14preliminary background review of the members of the minor's
15custodian's household in accordance with Section 4.3 of the
16Child Care Act of 1969 within 90 days of that placement. If the
17minor is ordered placed in a shelter care facility of the
18Department of Children and Family Services or a licensed child
19welfare agency, the court shall, upon request of the
20appropriate Department or other agency, appoint the Department
21of Children and Family Services Guardianship Administrator or
22other appropriate agency executive temporary custodian of the
23minor and the court may enter such other orders related to the
24temporary custody as it deems fit and proper, including the
25provision of services to the minor or his family to ameliorate
26the causes contributing to the finding of probable cause or to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1789 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the finding of the existence of immediate and urgent necessity.
2    Where the Department of Children and Family Services
3Guardianship Administrator is appointed as the executive
4temporary custodian, the Department of Children and Family
5Services shall file with the court and serve on the parties a
6parent-child visiting plan, within 10 days, excluding weekends
7and holidays, after the appointment. The parent-child visiting
8plan shall set out the time and place of visits, the frequency
9of visits, the length of visits, who shall be present at the
10visits, and where appropriate, the minor's opportunities to
11have telephone and mail communication with the parents.
12    Where the Department of Children and Family Services
13Guardianship Administrator is appointed as the executive
14temporary custodian, and when the child has siblings in care,
15the Department of Children and Family Services shall file with
16the court and serve on the parties a sibling placement and
17contact plan within 10 days, excluding weekends and holidays,
18after the appointment. The sibling placement and contact plan
19shall set forth whether the siblings are placed together, and
20if they are not placed together, what, if any, efforts are
21being made to place them together. If the Department has
22determined that it is not in a child's best interest to be
23placed with a sibling, the Department shall document in the
24sibling placement and contact plan the basis for its
25determination. For siblings placed separately, the sibling
26placement and contact plan shall set the time and place for

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1790 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1visits, the frequency of the visits, the length of visits, who
2shall be present for the visits, and where appropriate, the
3child's opportunities to have contact with their siblings in
4addition to in person contact. If the Department determines it
5is not in the best interest of a sibling to have contact with a
6sibling, the Department shall document in the sibling placement
7and contact plan the basis for its determination. The sibling
8placement and contact plan shall specify a date for development
9of the Sibling Contact Support Plan, under subsection (f) of
10Section 7.4 of the Children and Family Services Act, and shall
11remain in effect until the Sibling Contact Support Plan is
12developed.
13    For good cause, the court may waive the requirement to file
14the parent-child visiting plan or the sibling placement and
15contact plan, or extend the time for filing either plan. Any
16party may, by motion, request the court to review the
17parent-child visiting plan to determine whether it is
18reasonably calculated to expeditiously facilitate the
19achievement of the permanency goal. A party may, by motion,
20request the court to review the parent-child visiting plan or
21the sibling placement and contact plan to determine whether it
22is consistent with the minor's best interest. The court may
23refer the parties to mediation where available. The frequency,
24duration, and locations of visitation shall be measured by the
25needs of the child and family, and not by the convenience of
26Department personnel. Child development principles shall be

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1791 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1considered by the court in its analysis of how frequent
2visitation should be, how long it should last, where it should
3take place, and who should be present. If upon motion of the
4party to review either plan and after receiving evidence, the
5court determines that the parent-child visiting plan is not
6reasonably calculated to expeditiously facilitate the
7achievement of the permanency goal or that the restrictions
8placed on parent-child contact or sibling placement or contact
9are contrary to the child's best interests, the court shall put
10in writing the factual basis supporting the determination and
11enter specific findings based on the evidence. The court shall
12enter an order for the Department to implement changes to the
13parent-child visiting plan or sibling placement or contact
14plan, consistent with the court's findings. At any stage of
15proceeding, any party may by motion request the court to enter
16any orders necessary to implement the parent-child visiting
17plan, sibling placement or contact plan or subsequently
18developed Sibling Contact Support Plan. Nothing under this
19subsection (2) shall restrict the court from granting
20discretionary authority to the Department to increase
21opportunities for additional parent-child contacts or sibling
22contacts, without further court orders. Nothing in this
23subsection (2) shall restrict the Department from immediately
24restricting or terminating parent-child contact or sibling
25contacts, without either amending the parent-child visiting
26plan or the sibling contact plan or obtaining a court order,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1792 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1where the Department or its assigns reasonably believe that
2continuation of the contact, as set out in the plan, would be
3contrary to the child's health, safety, and welfare. The
4Department shall file with the court and serve on the parties
5any amendments to the plan within 10 days, excluding weekends
6and holidays, of the change of the visitation.
7    Acceptance of services shall not be considered an admission
8of any allegation in a petition made pursuant to this Act, nor
9may a referral of services be considered as evidence in any
10proceeding pursuant to this Act, except where the issue is
11whether the Department has made reasonable efforts to reunite
12the family. In making its findings that it is consistent with
13the health, safety and best interests of the minor to prescribe
14shelter care, the court shall state in writing (i) the factual
15basis supporting its findings concerning the immediate and
16urgent necessity for the protection of the minor or of the
17person or property of another and (ii) the factual basis
18supporting its findings that reasonable efforts were made to
19prevent or eliminate the removal of the minor from his or her
20home or that no efforts reasonably could be made to prevent or
21eliminate the removal of the minor from his or her home. The
22parents, guardian, custodian, temporary custodian and minor
23shall each be furnished a copy of such written findings. The
24temporary custodian shall maintain a copy of the court order
25and written findings in the case record for the child. The
26order together with the court's findings of fact in support

1thereof shall be entered of record in the court.
2    Once the court finds that it is a matter of immediate and
3urgent necessity for the protection of the minor that the minor
4be placed in a shelter care facility, the minor shall not be
5returned to the parent, custodian or guardian until the court
6finds that such placement is no longer necessary for the
7protection of the minor.
8    If the child is placed in the temporary custody of the
9Department of Children and Family Services for his or her
10protection, the court shall admonish the parents, guardian,
11custodian or responsible relative that the parents must
12cooperate with the Department of Children and Family Services,
13comply with the terms of the service plans, and correct the
14conditions which require the child to be in care, or risk
15termination of their parental rights. The court shall ensure,
16by inquiring in open court of each parent, guardian, custodian
17or responsible relative, that the parent, guardian, custodian
18or responsible relative has had the opportunity to provide the
19Department with all known names, addresses, and telephone
20numbers of each of the minor's living maternal and paternal
21adult relatives, including, but not limited to, grandparents,
22aunts, uncles, and siblings. The court shall advise the
23parents, guardian, custodian or responsible relative to inform
24the Department if additional information regarding the minor's
25adult relatives becomes available.

3care hearing may proceed ex parte. A shelter care order from an
4ex parte hearing shall be endorsed with the date and hour of
5issuance and shall be filed with the clerk's office and entered

7it is issued unless before its expiration it is renewed, at a
8hearing upon appearance of the party respondent, or upon an

HB5447 Engrossed- 1799 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    (9) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section any
2interested party, including the State, the temporary
3custodian, an agency providing services to the minor or family
4under a service plan pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Abused and
5Neglected Child Reporting Act, foster parent, or any of their
6representatives, on notice to all parties entitled to notice,
7may file a motion that it is in the best interests of the minor
8to modify or vacate a temporary custody order on any of the
9following grounds:
10        (a) It is no longer a matter of immediate and urgent
11    necessity that the minor remain in shelter care; or
12        (b) There is a material change in the circumstances of
13    the natural family from which the minor was removed and the
14    child can be cared for at home without endangering the
15    child's health or safety; or
16        (c) A person not a party to the alleged abuse, neglect
17    or dependency, including a parent, relative or legal
18    guardian, is capable of assuming temporary custody of the
19    minor; or
20        (d) Services provided by the Department of Children and
21    Family Services or a child welfare agency or other service
22    provider have been successful in eliminating the need for
23    temporary custody and the child can be cared for at home
24    without endangering the child's health or safety.
25    In ruling on the motion, the court shall determine whether
26it is consistent with the health, safety and best interests of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1800 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the minor to modify or vacate a temporary custody order.
2    The clerk shall set the matter for hearing not later than
314 days after such motion is filed. In the event that the court
4modifies or vacates a temporary custody order but does not
5vacate its finding of probable cause, the court may order that
6appropriate services be continued or initiated in behalf of the
7minor and his or her family.
8    (10) When the court finds or has found that there is
9probable cause to believe a minor is an abused minor as
10described in subsection (2) of Section 2-3 and that there is an
11immediate and urgent necessity for the abused minor to be
12placed in shelter care, immediate and urgent necessity shall be
13presumed for any other minor residing in the same household as
14the abused minor provided:
15        (a) Such other minor is the subject of an abuse or
16    neglect petition pending before the court; and
17        (b) A party to the petition is seeking shelter care for
18    such other minor.
19    Once the presumption of immediate and urgent necessity has
20been raised, the burden of demonstrating the lack of immediate
21and urgent necessity shall be on any party that is opposing
22shelter care for the other minor.
23    (11) The changes made to this Section by Public Act 98-61
24apply to a minor who has been arrested or taken into custody on
25or after January 1, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act
2698-61).

4    Sec. 2-28. Court review.
5    (1) The court may require any legal custodian or guardian
6of the person appointed under this Act to report periodically
7to the court or may cite him into court and require him or his
8agency, to make a full and accurate report of his or its doings
9in behalf of the minor. The custodian or guardian, within 10
10days after such citation, or earlier if the court determines it
11to be necessary to protect the health, safety, or welfare of
12the minor, shall make the report, either in writing verified by
13affidavit or orally under oath in open court, or otherwise as
14the court directs. Upon the hearing of the report the court may
15remove the custodian or guardian and appoint another in his
16stead or restore the minor to the custody of his parents or
17former guardian or custodian. However, custody of the minor
18shall not be restored to any parent, guardian or legal
19custodian in any case in which the minor is found to be
20neglected or abused under Section 2-3 or dependent under
21Section 2-4 of this Act, unless the minor can be cared for at
22home without endangering the minor's health or safety and it is
23in the best interests of the minor, and if such neglect, abuse,
24or dependency is found by the court under paragraph (1) of
25Section 2-21 of this Act to have come about due to the acts or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1802 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1omissions or both of such parent, guardian or legal custodian,
2until such time as an investigation is made as provided in
3paragraph (5) and a hearing is held on the issue of the fitness
4of such parent, guardian or legal custodian to care for the
5minor and the court enters an order that such parent, guardian
6or legal custodian is fit to care for the minor.
7    (1.5) The public agency that is the custodian or guardian
8of the minor shall file a written report with the court no
9later than 15 days after a minor in the agency's care remains:
10        (1) in a shelter placement beyond 30 days;
11        (2) in a psychiatric hospital past the time when the
12    minor is clinically ready for discharge or beyond medical
13    necessity for the minor's health; or
14        (3) in a detention center or Department of Juvenile
15    Justice facility solely because the public agency cannot
16    find an appropriate placement for the minor.
17    The report shall explain the steps the agency is taking to
18ensure the minor is placed appropriately, how the minor's needs
19are being met in the minor's shelter placement, and if a future
20placement has been identified by the Department, why the
21anticipated placement is appropriate for the needs of the minor
22and the anticipated placement date.
23    (2) The first permanency hearing shall be conducted by the
24judge. Subsequent permanency hearings may be heard by a judge
25or by hearing officers appointed or approved by the court in
26the manner set forth in Section 2-28.1 of this Act. The initial

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1803 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1hearing shall be held (a) within 12 months from the date
2temporary custody was taken, regardless of whether an
3adjudication or dispositional hearing has been completed
4within that time frame, (b) if the parental rights of both
5parents have been terminated in accordance with the procedure
6described in subsection (5) of Section 2-21, within 30 days of
7the order for termination of parental rights and appointment of
8a guardian with power to consent to adoption, or (c) in
9accordance with subsection (2) of Section 2-13.1. Subsequent
10permanency hearings shall be held every 6 months or more
11frequently if necessary in the court's determination following
12the initial permanency hearing, in accordance with the
13standards set forth in this Section, until the court determines
14that the plan and goal have been achieved. Once the plan and
15goal have been achieved, if the minor remains in substitute
16care, the case shall be reviewed at least every 6 months
17thereafter, subject to the provisions of this Section, unless
18the minor is placed in the guardianship of a suitable relative
19or other person and the court determines that further
20monitoring by the court does not further the health, safety or
21best interest of the child and that this is a stable permanent
22placement. The permanency hearings must occur within the time
23frames set forth in this subsection and may not be delayed in
24anticipation of a report from any source or due to the agency's
25failure to timely file its written report (this written report
26means the one required under the next paragraph and does not

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1804 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1mean the service plan also referred to in that paragraph).
2    The public agency that is the custodian or guardian of the
3minor, or another agency responsible for the minor's care,
4shall ensure that all parties to the permanency hearings are
5provided a copy of the most recent service plan prepared within
6the prior 6 months at least 14 days in advance of the hearing.
7If not contained in the agency's service plan, the agency shall
8also include a report setting forth (i) any special physical,
9psychological, educational, medical, emotional, or other needs
10of the minor or his or her family that are relevant to a
11permanency or placement determination and (ii) for any minor
12age 16 or over, a written description of the programs and
13services that will enable the minor to prepare for independent
14living. If not contained in the agency's service plan, the
15agency's report shall specify if a minor is placed in a
16licensed child care facility under a corrective plan by the
17Department due to concerns impacting the minor's safety and
18well-being. The report shall explain the steps the Department
19is taking to ensure the safety and well-being of the minor and
20that the minor's needs are met in the facility. The agency's
21written report must detail what progress or lack of progress
22the parent has made in correcting the conditions requiring the
23child to be in care; whether the child can be returned home
24without jeopardizing the child's health, safety, and welfare,
25and if not, what permanency goal is recommended to be in the
26best interests of the child, and why the other permanency goals

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1805 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1are not appropriate. The caseworker must appear and testify at
2the permanency hearing. If a permanency hearing has not
3previously been scheduled by the court, the moving party shall
4move for the setting of a permanency hearing and the entry of
5an order within the time frames set forth in this subsection.
6    At the permanency hearing, the court shall determine the
7future status of the child. The court shall set one of the
8following permanency goals:
9        (A) The minor will be returned home by a specific date
10    within 5 months.
11        (B) The minor will be in short-term care with a
12    continued goal to return home within a period not to exceed
13    one year, where the progress of the parent or parents is
14    substantial giving particular consideration to the age and
15    individual needs of the minor.
16        (B-1) The minor will be in short-term care with a
17    continued goal to return home pending a status hearing.
18    When the court finds that a parent has not made reasonable
19    efforts or reasonable progress to date, the court shall
20    identify what actions the parent and the Department must
21    take in order to justify a finding of reasonable efforts or
22    reasonable progress and shall set a status hearing to be
23    held not earlier than 9 months from the date of
24    adjudication nor later than 11 months from the date of
25    adjudication during which the parent's progress will again
26    be reviewed.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1806 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        (C) The minor will be in substitute care pending court
2    determination on termination of parental rights.
3        (D) Adoption, provided that parental rights have been
4    terminated or relinquished.
5        (E) The guardianship of the minor will be transferred
6    to an individual or couple on a permanent basis provided
7    that goals (A) through (D) have been ruled out.
8        (F) The minor over age 15 will be in substitute care
9    pending independence.
10        (G) The minor will be in substitute care because he or
11    she cannot be provided for in a home environment due to
12    developmental disabilities or mental illness or because he
13    or she is a danger to self or others, provided that goals
14    (A) through (D) have been ruled out.
15    In selecting any permanency goal, the court shall indicate
16in writing the reasons the goal was selected and why the
17preceding goals were ruled out. Where the court has selected a
18permanency goal other than (A), (B), or (B-1), the Department
19of Children and Family Services shall not provide further
20reunification services, but shall provide services consistent
21with the goal selected.
22        (H) Notwithstanding any other provision in this
23    Section, the court may select the goal of continuing foster
24    care as a permanency goal if:
25            (1) The Department of Children and Family Services
26        has custody and guardianship of the minor;

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1807 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            (2) The court has ruled out all other permanency
2        goals based on the child's best interest;
3            (3) The court has found compelling reasons, based
4        on written documentation reviewed by the court, to
5        place the minor in continuing foster care. Compelling
6        reasons include:
7                (a) the child does not wish to be adopted or to
8            be placed in the guardianship of his or her
9            relative or foster care placement;
10                (b) the child exhibits an extreme level of need
11            such that the removal of the child from his or her
12            placement would be detrimental to the child; or
13                (c) the child who is the subject of the
14            permanency hearing has existing close and strong
15            bonds with a sibling, and achievement of another
16            permanency goal would substantially interfere with
17            the subject child's sibling relationship, taking
18            into consideration the nature and extent of the
19            relationship, and whether ongoing contact is in
20            the subject child's best interest, including
21            long-term emotional interest, as compared with the
22            legal and emotional benefit of permanence;
23            (4) The child has lived with the relative or foster
24        parent for at least one year; and
25            (5) The relative or foster parent currently caring
26        for the child is willing and capable of providing the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1808 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        child with a stable and permanent environment.
2    The court shall set a permanency goal that is in the best
3interest of the child. In determining that goal, the court
4shall consult with the minor in an age-appropriate manner
5regarding the proposed permanency or transition plan for the
6minor. The court's determination shall include the following
7factors:
8        (1) Age of the child.
9        (2) Options available for permanence, including both
10    out-of-State and in-State placement options.
11        (3) Current placement of the child and the intent of
12    the family regarding adoption.
13        (4) Emotional, physical, and mental status or
14    condition of the child.
15        (5) Types of services previously offered and whether or
16    not the services were successful and, if not successful,
17    the reasons the services failed.
18        (6) Availability of services currently needed and
19    whether the services exist.
20        (7) Status of siblings of the minor.
21    The court shall consider (i) the permanency goal contained
22in the service plan, (ii) the appropriateness of the services
23contained in the plan and whether those services have been
24provided, (iii) whether reasonable efforts have been made by
25all the parties to the service plan to achieve the goal, and
26(iv) whether the plan and goal have been achieved. All evidence

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1809 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1relevant to determining these questions, including oral and
2written reports, may be admitted and may be relied on to the
3extent of their probative value.
4    The court shall make findings as to whether, in violation
5of Section 8.2 of the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act,
6any portion of the service plan compels a child or parent to
7engage in any activity or refrain from any activity that is not
8reasonably related to remedying a condition or conditions that
9gave rise or which could give rise to any finding of child
10abuse or neglect. The services contained in the service plan
11shall include services reasonably related to remedy the
12conditions that gave rise to removal of the child from the home
13of his or her parents, guardian, or legal custodian or that the
14court has found must be remedied prior to returning the child
15home. Any tasks the court requires of the parents, guardian, or
16legal custodian or child prior to returning the child home,
17must be reasonably related to remedying a condition or
18conditions that gave rise to or which could give rise to any
19finding of child abuse or neglect.
20    If the permanency goal is to return home, the court shall
21make findings that identify any problems that are causing
22continued placement of the children away from the home and
23identify what outcomes would be considered a resolution to
24these problems. The court shall explain to the parents that
25these findings are based on the information that the court has
26at that time and may be revised, should additional evidence be

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1810 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1presented to the court.
2    The court shall review the Sibling Contact Support Plan
3developed or modified under subsection (f) of Section 7.4 of
4the Children and Family Services Act, if applicable. If the
5Department has not convened a meeting to develop or modify a
6Sibling Contact Support Plan, or if the court finds that the
7existing Plan is not in the child's best interest, the court
8may enter an order requiring the Department to develop, modify
9or implement a Sibling Contact Support Plan, or order
10mediation.
11    If the goal has been achieved, the court shall enter orders
12that are necessary to conform the minor's legal custody and
13status to those findings.
14    If, after receiving evidence, the court determines that the
15services contained in the plan are not reasonably calculated to
16facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court shall
17put in writing the factual basis supporting the determination
18and enter specific findings based on the evidence. The court
19also shall enter an order for the Department to develop and
20implement a new service plan or to implement changes to the
21current service plan consistent with the court's findings. The
22new service plan shall be filed with the court and served on
23all parties within 45 days of the date of the order. The court
24shall continue the matter until the new service plan is filed.
25Except as authorized by subsection (2.5) of this Section and as
26otherwise specifically authorized by law, the court is not

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1811 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1empowered under this Section to order specific placements,
2specific services, or specific service providers to be included
3in the service plan.
4    A guardian or custodian appointed by the court pursuant to
5this Act shall file updated case plans with the court every 6
6months.
7    Rights of wards of the court under this Act are enforceable
8against any public agency by complaints for relief by mandamus
9filed in any proceedings brought under this Act.
10    (2.5) If, after reviewing the evidence, including evidence
11from the Department, the court determines that the minor's
12current or planned placement is not necessary or appropriate to
13facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court shall
14put in writing the factual basis supporting its determination
15and enter specific findings based on the evidence. If the court
16finds that the minor's current or planned placement is not
17necessary or appropriate, the court may enter an order
18directing the Department to implement a recommendation by the
19minor's treating clinician or a clinician contracted by the
20Department to evaluate the minor or a recommendation made by
21the Department. If the Department places a minor in a placement
22under an order entered under this subsection (2.5), the
23Department has the authority to remove the minor from that
24placement when a change in circumstances necessitates the
25removal to protect the minor's health, safety, and best
26interest. If the Department determines removal is necessary,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1812 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the Department shall notify the parties of the planned
2placement change in writing no later than 10 days prior to the
3implementation of its determination unless remaining in the
4placement poses an imminent risk of harm to the minor, in which
5case the Department shall notify the parties of the placement
6change in writing immediately following the implementation of
7its decision. The Department shall notify others of the
8decision to change the minor's placement as required by
9Department rule.
10    (3) Following the permanency hearing, the court shall enter
11a written order that includes the determinations required under
12subsection (2) of this Section and sets forth the following:
13        (a) The future status of the minor, including the
14    permanency goal, and any order necessary to conform the
15    minor's legal custody and status to such determination; or
16        (b) If the permanency goal of the minor cannot be
17    achieved immediately, the specific reasons for continuing
18    the minor in the care of the Department of Children and
19    Family Services or other agency for short term placement,
20    and the following determinations:
21            (i) (Blank).
22            (ii) Whether the services required by the court and
23        by any service plan prepared within the prior 6 months
24        have been provided and (A) if so, whether the services
25        were reasonably calculated to facilitate the
26        achievement of the permanency goal or (B) if not

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1813 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        provided, why the services were not provided.
2            (iii) Whether the minor's current or planned
3        placement current or planned is necessary, and
4        appropriate to the plan and goal, recognizing the right
5        of minors to the least restrictive (most family-like)
6        setting available and in close proximity to the
7        parents' home consistent with the health, safety, best
8        interest and special needs of the minor and, if the
9        minor is placed out-of-State, whether the out-of-State
10        placement continues to be appropriate and consistent
11        with the health, safety, and best interest of the
12        minor.
13            (iv) (Blank).
14            (v) (Blank).
15    (4) The minor or any person interested in the minor may
16apply to the court for a change in custody of the minor and the
17appointment of a new custodian or guardian of the person or for
18the restoration of the minor to the custody of his parents or
19former guardian or custodian.
20    When return home is not selected as the permanency goal:
21        (a) The Department, the minor, or the current foster
22    parent or relative caregiver seeking private guardianship
23    may file a motion for private guardianship of the minor.
24    Appointment of a guardian under this Section requires
25    approval of the court.
26        (b) The State's Attorney may file a motion to terminate

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1814 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

2    reasonable efforts to correct the conditions which led to
3    the removal of the child or reasonable progress toward the
4    return of the child, as defined in subdivision (D)(m) of
5    Section 1 of the Adoption Act or for whom any other
6    unfitness ground for terminating parental rights as
7    defined in subdivision (D) of Section 1 of the Adoption Act
8    exists.
9        When parental rights have been terminated for a minimum
10    of 3 years and the child who is the subject of the
11    permanency hearing is 13 years old or older and is not
12    currently placed in a placement likely to achieve
13    permanency, the Department of Children and Family Services
14    shall make reasonable efforts to locate parents whose
15    rights have been terminated, except when the Court
16    determines that those efforts would be futile or
17    inconsistent with the subject child's best interests. The
18    Department of Children and Family Services shall assess the
19    appropriateness of the parent whose rights have been
20    terminated, and shall, as appropriate, foster and support
21    connections between the parent whose rights have been
22    terminated and the youth. The Department of Children and
23    Family Services shall document its determinations and
24    efforts to foster connections in the child's case plan.
25    Custody of the minor shall not be restored to any parent,
26guardian or legal custodian in any case in which the minor is

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1815 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1found to be neglected or abused under Section 2-3 or dependent
2under Section 2-4 of this Act, unless the minor can be cared
3for at home without endangering his or her health or safety and
4it is in the best interest of the minor, and if such neglect,
5abuse, or dependency is found by the court under paragraph (1)
6of Section 2-21 of this Act to have come about due to the acts
7or omissions or both of such parent, guardian or legal
8custodian, until such time as an investigation is made as
9provided in paragraph (5) and a hearing is held on the issue of
10the health, safety and best interest of the minor and the
11fitness of such parent, guardian or legal custodian to care for
12the minor and the court enters an order that such parent,
13guardian or legal custodian is fit to care for the minor. In
14the event that the minor has attained 18 years of age and the
15guardian or custodian petitions the court for an order
16terminating his guardianship or custody, guardianship or
17custody shall terminate automatically 30 days after the receipt
18of the petition unless the court orders otherwise. No legal
19custodian or guardian of the person may be removed without his
20consent until given notice and an opportunity to be heard by
21the court.
22    When the court orders a child restored to the custody of
23the parent or parents, the court shall order the parent or
24parents to cooperate with the Department of Children and Family
25Services and comply with the terms of an after-care plan, or
26risk the loss of custody of the child and possible termination

2protective supervision in accordance with Section 2-24.
3    (5) Whenever a parent, guardian, or legal custodian files a
4motion for restoration of custody of the minor, and the minor
5was adjudicated neglected, abused, or dependent as a result of
6physical abuse, the court shall cause to be made an
7investigation as to whether the movant has ever been charged
8with or convicted of any criminal offense which would indicate
9the likelihood of any further physical abuse to the minor.
10Evidence of such criminal convictions shall be taken into
11account in determining whether the minor can be cared for at
12home without endangering his or her health or safety and
13fitness of the parent, guardian, or legal custodian.
14        (a) Any agency of this State or any subdivision thereof
15    shall co-operate with the agent of the court in providing
16    any information sought in the investigation.
17        (b) The information derived from the investigation and
18    any conclusions or recommendations derived from the
19    information shall be provided to the parent, guardian, or
20    legal custodian seeking restoration of custody prior to the
21    hearing on fitness and the movant shall have an opportunity
22    at the hearing to refute the information or contest its
23    significance.
24        (c) All information obtained from any investigation
25    shall be confidential as provided in Section 5-150 of this
26    Act.

21or she had a juvenile record, and (iv) if petitioning he or she
22may file the petition on his or her own or with the assistance
23of an attorney. The failure of the judge to inform the
24delinquent minor of his or her right to petition for
25expungement as provided by law does not create a substantive
26right, nor is that failure grounds for: (i) a reversal of an

13knowledge, or disclosure of the victim's sexual orientation as
14defined in Section 1-103 of the Illinois Human Rights Act.
15    (d) Separate sentencing hearing.
16    Where requested by the State, the court shall conduct a
17separate sentencing proceeding to determine the existence of
18factors set forth in subsection (b) and to consider any
19aggravating or mitigating factors as indicated in subsection
20(c). The proceeding shall be conducted:
21        (1) before the jury that determined the defendant's

23        (2) before a jury impanelled for the purpose of the
24    proceeding if:
25            A. the defendant was convicted upon a plea of

8    During the proceeding any information relevant to any of
9the factors set forth in subsection (b) may be presented by
10either the State or the defendant under the rules governing the

14by the State or defendant regardless of its admissibility under
15the rules governing the admission of evidence at criminal
16trials. The State and the defendant shall be given fair
17opportunity to rebut any information received at the hearing.
18    (f) Proof.
19    The burden of proof of establishing the existence of any of
20the factors set forth in subsection (b) is on the State and
21shall not be satisfied unless established beyond a reasonable
22doubt.
23    (g) Procedure - Jury.
24    If at the separate sentencing proceeding the jury finds
25that none of the factors set forth in subsection (b) exists,
26the court shall sentence the defendant to a term of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1857 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
2Corrections. If there is a unanimous finding by the jury that
3one or more of the factors set forth in subsection (b) exist,
4the jury shall consider aggravating and mitigating factors as
5instructed by the court and shall determine whether the
6sentence of death shall be imposed. If the jury determines
7unanimously, after weighing the factors in aggravation and
8mitigation, that death is the appropriate sentence, the court
9shall sentence the defendant to death. If the court does not
10concur with the jury determination that death is the
11appropriate sentence, the court shall set forth reasons in
12writing including what facts or circumstances the court relied
13upon, along with any relevant documents, that compelled the
14court to non-concur with the sentence. This document and any
15attachments shall be part of the record for appellate review.
16The court shall be bound by the jury's sentencing
17determination.
18    If after weighing the factors in aggravation and
19mitigation, one or more jurors determines that death is not the
20appropriate sentence, the court shall sentence the defendant to
21a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
22Corrections.
23    (h) Procedure - No Jury.
24    In a proceeding before the court alone, if the court finds
25that none of the factors found in subsection (b) exists, the
26court shall sentence the defendant to a term of imprisonment

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1858 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1under Chapter V of the Unified Code of Corrections.
2    If the Court determines that one or more of the factors set
3forth in subsection (b) exists, the Court shall consider any
4aggravating and mitigating factors as indicated in subsection
5(c). If the Court determines, after weighing the factors in
6aggravation and mitigation, that death is the appropriate
7sentence, the Court shall sentence the defendant to death.
8    If the court finds that death is not the appropriate
9sentence, the court shall sentence the defendant to a term of
10imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
11Corrections.
12    (h-5) Decertification as a capital case.
13    In a case in which the defendant has been found guilty of
14first degree murder by a judge or jury, or a case on remand for
15resentencing, and the State seeks the death penalty as an
16appropriate sentence, on the court's own motion or the written
17motion of the defendant, the court may decertify the case as a
18death penalty case if the court finds that the only evidence
19supporting the defendant's conviction is the uncorroborated
20testimony of an informant witness, as defined in Section 115-21
21of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, concerning the
22confession or admission of the defendant or that the sole
23evidence against the defendant is a single eyewitness or single
24accomplice without any other corroborating evidence. If the
25court decertifies the case as a capital case under either of
26the grounds set forth above, the court shall issue a written

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1859 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1finding. The State may pursue its right to appeal the
2decertification pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 604(a)(1). If
3the court does not decertify the case as a capital case, the
4matter shall proceed to the eligibility phase of the sentencing
5hearing.
6    (i) Appellate Procedure.
7    The conviction and sentence of death shall be subject to
8automatic review by the Supreme Court. Such review shall be in
9accordance with rules promulgated by the Supreme Court. The
10Illinois Supreme Court may overturn the death sentence, and
11order the imposition of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
12Unified Code of Corrections if the court finds that the death
13sentence is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular
14case. If the Illinois Supreme Court finds that the death
15sentence is fundamentally unjust as applied to the particular
16case, independent of any procedural grounds for relief, the
17Illinois Supreme Court shall issue a written opinion explaining
18this finding.
19    (j) Disposition of reversed death sentence.
20    In the event that the death penalty in this Act is held to
21be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States
22or of the State of Illinois, any person convicted of first
23degree murder shall be sentenced by the court to a term of
24imprisonment under Chapter V of the Unified Code of
25Corrections.
26    In the event that any death sentence pursuant to the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1860 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1sentencing provisions of this Section is declared
2unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States or
3of the State of Illinois, the court having jurisdiction over a
4person previously sentenced to death shall cause the defendant
5to be brought before the court, and the court shall sentence
6the defendant to a term of imprisonment under Chapter V of the
7Unified Code of Corrections.
8    (k) Guidelines for seeking the death penalty.
9    The Attorney General and State's Attorneys Association
10shall consult on voluntary guidelines for procedures governing
11whether or not to seek the death penalty. The guidelines do not
12have the force of law and are only advisory in nature.

18    Sec. 110-6.4. Statewide risk-assessment risk assessment
19tool. The Supreme Court may establish a statewide
20risk-assessment tool to be used in proceedings to assist the
21court in establishing bail for a defendant by assessing the
22defendant's likelihood of appearing at future court
23proceedings or determining if the defendant poses a real and
24present threat to the physical safety of any person or persons.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1922 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1The Supreme Court shall consider establishing a
2risk-assessment tool that does not discriminate on the basis of
3race, gender, educational level, socio-economic status, or
4neighborhood. If a risk-assessment risk assessment tool is
5utilized within a circuit that does not require a personal
6interview to be completed, the Chief Judge of the circuit or

19    (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
20subsection. The remedies listed in this subsection shall be in
21addition to other civil or criminal remedies available to
22petitioner.
23        (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
24    harassment, interference with personal liberty,
25    intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse or willful

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1923 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
2    occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
3    prohibited.
4        (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
5    Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
6    residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
7    including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
8    has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
9    possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
10    not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
11    limited by the standard set forth in Section 701 of the
12    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
13            (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
14        occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
15        or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
16        spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
17        party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
18        person or entity other than the opposing party that
19        authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
20        violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
21        (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
22            (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
23        respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
24        residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
25        hardships to respondent and any minor child or
26        dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1924 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
2        petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
3        petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
4        the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
5        residence or household) or from loss of possession of
6        the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
7        avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
8        of hardships, the court shall also take into account
9        the accessibility of the residence or household.
10        Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
11        have a right to occupancy.
12            The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
13        possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
14        rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
15        that the hardships to respondent substantially
16        outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
17        child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
18        court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
19        motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
20        accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
21        of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
22        household.
23        (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
24    respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
25    protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
26    respondent from entering or remaining present at

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1925 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
2    specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
3    both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
4    Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
5    stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no
6    right to enter the premises.
7            (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
8        exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
9        respondent from entering the residence, or orders
10        respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
11        protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
12        access to the residence to remove items of clothing and
13        personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,
14        medications, and other items as the court directs. The
15        right to access shall be exercised on only one occasion
16        as the court directs and in the presence of an
17        agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
18        officer.
19            (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
20        the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
21        middle, or high school, the court when issuing an order
22        of protection and providing relief shall consider the
23        severity of the act, any continuing physical danger or
24        emotional distress to the petitioner, the educational
25        rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent
26        under federal and State law, the availability of a

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1926 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        transfer of the respondent to another school, a change
2        of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
3        the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption
4        that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
5        another school, and any other relevant facts of the
6        case. The court may order that the respondent not
7        attend the public, private, or non-public elementary,
8        middle, or high school attended by the petitioner,
9        order that the respondent accept a change of placement
10        or change of program, as determined by the school
11        district or private or non-public school, or place
12        restrictions on the respondent's movements within the
13        school attended by the petitioner. The respondent
14        bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the
15        evidence that a transfer, change of placement, or
16        change of program of the respondent is not available.
17        The respondent also bears the burden of production with
18        respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
19        disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
20        respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
21        placement, or change of program is not unavailable to
22        the respondent solely on the ground that the respondent
23        does not agree with the school district's or private or
24        non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
25        change of program or solely on the ground that the
26        respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1927 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        does not take an action required to effectuate a
2        transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
3        When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
4        public, private, or non-public school attended by the
5        petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to
6        another attendance center within the respondent's
7        school district or private or non-public school, the
8        school district or private or non-public school shall
9        have sole discretion to determine the attendance
10        center to which the respondent is transferred. If the
11        court order results in a transfer of the minor
12        respondent to another attendance center, a change in
13        the respondent's placement, or a change of the
14        respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or legal
15        custodian of the respondent is responsible for
16        transportation and other costs associated with the
17        transfer or change.
18            (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
19        legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
20        actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
21        ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
22        the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
23        another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
24        custodian of the respondent is responsible for
25        transportation and other costs associated with the
26        change of school by the respondent.

1        (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
2    undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
3    worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
4    family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
5    mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing
6    services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
7    abusers or any other guidance service the court deems
8    appropriate. The court may order the respondent in any
9    intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois
10    Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
11    abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
12    all recommended treatment.
13        (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
14    order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
15    unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
16    minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
17    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
18    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
19    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
20    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
21    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
22    in loco parentis.
23        If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
24    Section 112A-3) of a minor child, there shall be a
25    rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
26    respondent would not be in the minor child's best interest.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1929 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        (6) Temporary legal custody. Award temporary legal
2    custody to petitioner in accordance with this Section, the
3    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, the

5    Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
6        If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
7    Section 112A-3) of a minor child, there shall be a
8    rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary legal
9    custody to respondent would not be in the child's best
10    interest.
11        (7) Visitation. Determine the visitation rights, if
12    any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
13    physical care or temporary legal custody of a minor child
14    to petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny
15    respondent's visitation with a minor child if the court
16    finds that respondent has done or is likely to do any of
17    the following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
18    visitation; (ii) use the visitation as an opportunity to
19    abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
20    household members; (iii) improperly conceal or detain the
21    minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not
22    in the best interests of the minor child. The court shall
23    not be limited by the standards set forth in Section 607.1
24    of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
25    If the court grants visitation, the order shall specify
26    dates and times for the visitation to take place or other

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1930 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    specific parameters or conditions that are appropriate. No
2    order for visitation shall refer merely to the term
3    "reasonable visitation".
4        Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
5    child if, when respondent arrives for visitation,
6    respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
7    constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
8    petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
9    a violent or abusive manner.
10        If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
11    family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
12    prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
13    the minor child for visitation, and the parties shall
14    submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
15    alternative arrangements for visitation. A person may be
16    approved to supervise visitation only after filing an
17    affidavit accepting that responsibility and acknowledging
18    accountability to the court.
19        (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
20    respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
21    concealing the child within the State.
22        (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
23    court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
24    neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
25    child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to permit
26    any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1931 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    the respondent.
2        (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
3    exclusive possession of personal property and, if
4    respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
5    promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
6            (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
7        property; or
8            (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing
9        it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
10        impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
11        temporary possession by petitioner.
12        If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
13    is that it is marital property, the court may award
14    petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
15    standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
16    proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
17    Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
18    hereafter amended.
19        No order under this provision shall affect title to
20    property.
21        (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
22    from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
23    damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
24    property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:
25            (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
26        property; or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1932 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
2        balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
3        If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
4    is that it is marital property, the court may grant
5    petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
6    paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
7    the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
8    now or hereafter amended.
9        The court may further prohibit respondent from
10    improperly using the financial or other resources of an
11    aged member of the family or household for the profit or
12    advantage of respondent or of any other person.
13        (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
14    exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
15    possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
16    or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
17    residence or household of either the petitioner or the
18    respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
19    animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
20    transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
21    otherwise disposing of the animal.
22        (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
23    pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
24    the petitioner's care or custody, when the respondent has a
25    legal obligation to support that person, in accordance with
26    the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1933 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
2    support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
3    income to secure payment. An order for child support may be
4    granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care or
5    custody of a child, or an order or agreement for physical
6    care or custody, prior to entry of an order for legal
7    custody. Such a support order shall expire upon entry of a
8    valid order granting legal custody to another, unless
9    otherwise provided in the custody order.
10        (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
11    pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
12    the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
13    to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,
14    repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,
15    reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and moving or other
16    travel expenses, including additional reasonable expenses
17    for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
18            (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
19        entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
20        property distribution from the other party under the
21        Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
22        now or hereafter amended, the court may order
23        respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
24        the extent that such reimbursement would be
25        "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
26        subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1934 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
2        improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
3        court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
4        expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
5        and recovery of the minor child, including, but not
6        limited to, legal fees, court costs, private
7        investigator fees, and travel costs.
8        (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
9    from entering or remaining in the residence or household
10    while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
11    drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
12    of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
13        (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
14            (A) A person who is subject to an existing order of
15        protection, issued under this Code may not lawfully
16        possess weapons under Section 8.2 of the Firearm Owners
17        Identification Card Act.
18            (B) Any firearms in the possession of the
19        respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of
20        this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court to
21        be turned over to a person with a valid Firearm Owner's
22        Identification Card for safekeeping. The court shall
23        issue an order that the respondent's Firearm Owner's
24        Identification Card be turned over to the local law
25        enforcement agency, which in turn shall immediately
26        mail the card to the Department of State Police Firearm

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1935 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        Owner's Identification Card Office for safekeeping.
2        The period of safekeeping shall be for the duration of
3        the order of protection. The firearm or firearms and
4        Firearm Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired,
5        shall at the respondent's request be returned to the
6        respondent at expiration of the order of protection.
7            (C) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined
8        in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the court
9        shall order that any firearms used by the respondent in
10        the performance of his or her duties as a peace officer
11        be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive
12        of the agency in which the respondent is employed, who
13        shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the
14        duration of the order of protection.
15            (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
16        if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
17        cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
18        cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
19        retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
20        possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
21        enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
22        enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
23        firearms for training purposes, or for any other
24        application as deemed appropriate by the local law
25        enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned over
26        to a third party who is lawfully eligible to possess

1        firearms, and who does not reside with respondent.
2        (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
3    protection prohibits respondent from having contact with
4    the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
5    under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5, or if necessary to
6    prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a minor
7    child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
8    prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
9    attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
10    records of the minor child who is in the care of
11    petitioner.

18    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
19    a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
20    granted remedies, if supported by the balance of hardships.
21    If the harm to be prevented by the injunction is abuse or
22    any other harm that one of the remedies listed in
23    paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is designed
24    to prevent, no further evidence is necessary to establish
25    that the harm is an irreparable injury.
26        (18) Telephone services.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1937 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

3        request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
4        service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
5        right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
6        indicated by the petitioner and the financial
7        responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
8        as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. For
9        purposes of this paragraph (18), the term "wireless
10        telephone service provider" means a provider of
11        commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332.
12        The petitioner may request the transfer of each
13        telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child
14        in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court
15        shall serve the order on the wireless telephone service
16        provider's agent for service of process provided to the
17        Illinois Commerce Commission. The order shall contain
18        all of the following:
19                (i) The name and billing telephone number of
20            the account holder including the name of the
21            wireless telephone service provider that serves
22            the account.
23                (ii) Each telephone number that will be
24            transferred.
25                (iii) A statement that the provider transfers
26            to the petitioner all financial responsibility for

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1938 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            and right to the use of any telephone number
2            transferred under this paragraph.
3            (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
4        terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
5        to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
6        numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
7        paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
8        hours after it receives the order, that one of the
9        following applies:
10                (i) The account holder named in the order has
11            terminated the account.
12                (ii) A difference in network technology would
13            prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
14            a network if the transfer occurs.
15                (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
16            other limitation on network or service provision
17            to the petitioner.
18                (iv) Another technological or operational
19            issue would prevent or impair the use of the
20            telephone number if the transfer occurs.
21            (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
22        responsibility for and right to the use of any
23        telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
24        this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
25        monthly service costs and costs associated with any
26        mobile device associated with the number.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1939 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
2        apply to the petitioner its routine and customary
3        requirements for establishing an account or
4        transferring a number, including requiring the
5        petitioner to provide proof of identification,
6        financial information, and customer preferences.
7            (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
8        wireless telephone service provider is immune from
9        civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
10        with a court order issued under this paragraph.
11            (F) All wireless service providers that provide
12        services to residential customers shall provide to the
13        Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an
14        agent for service of orders entered under this
15        paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
16        agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
17        Commission within 30 days of such change.
18            (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
19        maintain the list of registered agents for service for
20        each wireless telephone service provider on the
21        Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
22        wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
23        Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is
24        provided and displayed.
25    (c) Relevant factors; findings.
26        (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1940 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    other than payment of support, the court shall consider
2    relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the
3    following:
4            (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
5        consequences of the respondent's past abuse of the
6        petitioner or any family or household member,
7        including the concealment of his or her location in
8        order to evade service of process or notice, and the
9        likelihood of danger of future abuse to petitioner or
10        any member of petitioner's or respondent's family or
11        household; and
12            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
13        or neglected or improperly removed from the
14        jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
15        improperly separated from the child's primary
16        caretaker.
17        (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
18    parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
19    court shall consider relevant factors, including, but not
20    limited to, the following:
21            (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
22        adequacy, location and other characteristics of
23        alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
24        dependent adult in the party's care;
25            (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
26            (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1941 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
2        care, to family, school, church and community.
3        (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
4    (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
5    in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
6    set forth the following:
7            (i) That the court has considered the applicable
8        relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
9        this subsection.
10            (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
11        unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
12        or continued abuse.
13            (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
14        requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
15        other alleged abused persons.
16        (4) (Blank).
17        (5) Never married parties. No rights or
18    responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
19    attach to a putative father until a father and child
20    relationship has been established under the Illinois
21    Parentage Act of 1984 or under the Illinois Parentage Act
22    of 2015 on and after the effective date of that Act. Absent
23    such an adjudication, no putative father shall be granted
24    temporary custody of the minor child, visitation with the
25    minor child, or physical care and possession of the minor
26    child, nor shall an order of payment for support of the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 1942 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    minor child be entered.
2    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
3the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
4remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
5subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
6balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
7include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
8in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
9hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
10shall be an official record or in writing.
11    (e) Denial of remedies. Denial of any remedy shall not be
12based, in whole or in part, on evidence that:
13        (1) Respondent has cause for any use of force, unless
14    that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable use of
15    force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of 2012;
16        (2) Respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
17        (3) Petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
18    another, provided that, if petitioner utilized force, such
19    force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal Code
20    of 2012;
21        (4) Petitioner did not act in self-defense or defense
22    of another;
23        (5) Petitioner left the residence or household to avoid
24    further abuse by respondent;
25        (6) Petitioner did not leave the residence or household
26    to avoid further abuse by respondent;

1        (7) Conduct by any family or household member excused
2    the abuse by respondent, unless that same conduct would
3    have excused such abuse if the parties had not been family
4    or household members.

20that the defendant will continue to receive psychotropic
21medication following discharge, and what provisions should be
22made to assure the safety of the defendant and others in the

11release the State's Attorney determines that the defendant has
12not fulfilled the conditions of his or her release, the State's
13Attorney may petition the Court to revoke or modify the
14conditional release of the defendant. Upon the filing of such
15petition the defendant may be remanded to the custody of the

10modify the conditions of the original release in order to
11reasonably assure the defendant's satisfactory progress in
12treatment and his or her safety and the safety of others in
13accordance with the standards established in paragraph (D) of
14subsection (a-1). Nothing in this Section shall limit a Court's
15contempt powers or any other powers of a Court.
16    (j) An order of admission under this Section does not
17affect the remedy of habeas corpus.
18    (k) In the event of a conflict between this Section and the
19Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code or the Mental
20Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, the
21provisions of this Section shall govern.

1of a civil union, a proceeding for child support following
2dissolution of the marriage or civil union by a court that
3lacked personal jurisdiction over the absent spouse, a
4proceeding for modification of a previous order for child
5support under Section 510 of this Act, or any proceeding
6authorized under Section 501 or 601 of this Act, the court may
7order either or both parents owing a duty of support to a child
8of the marriage or civil union to pay an amount reasonable and
9necessary for support. The duty of support owed to a child
10includes the obligation to provide for the reasonable and
11necessary physical, mental and emotional health needs of the
12child. For purposes of this Section, the term "child" shall
13include any child under age 18 and any child age 19 or younger
14who is still attending high school. For purposes of this
15Section, the term "obligor" means the parent obligated to pay
16support to the other parent.
17        (1) Child support guidelines. The Illinois Department
18    of Healthcare and Family Services shall adopt rules
19    establishing child support guidelines which include
20    worksheets to aid in the calculation of the child support
21    obligations and a schedule of basic child support
22    obligations that reflects the percentage of combined net
23    income that parents living in the same household in this
24    State ordinarily spend on their child. The child support
25    guidelines have the following purposes:
26            (A) to establish as State policy an adequate

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2160 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        standard of support for a child, subject to the ability
2        of parents to pay;
3            (B) to make child support obligations more
4        equitable by ensuring more consistent treatment of
5        parents in similar circumstances;
6            (C) to improve the efficiency of the court process
7        by promoting settlements and giving courts and the
8        parties guidance in establishing levels of child
9        support;
10            (D) to calculate child support based upon the
11        parents' combined net income estimated to have been
12        allocated for the support of the child if the parents
13        and child were living in an intact household;
14            (E) to adjust child support based upon the needs of
15        the child; and
16            (F) to allocate the amount of child support to be
17        paid by each parent based upon a parent's net income
18        and the child's physical care arrangements.
19        (1.5) Computation of basic child support obligation.
20    The court shall compute the basic child support obligation
21    by taking the following steps:
22            (A) determine each parent's monthly net income;
23            (B) add the parents' monthly net incomes together
24        to determine the combined monthly net income of the
25        parents;
26            (C) select the corresponding appropriate amount

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2161 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        from the schedule of basic child support obligations
2        based on the parties' combined monthly net income and
3        number of children of the parties; and
4            (D) calculate each parent's percentage share of
5        the basic child support obligation.
6        Although a monetary obligation is computed for each
7    parent as child support, the receiving parent's share is
8    not payable to the other parent and is presumed to be spent
9    directly on the child.
10        (2) Duty of support. The court shall determine child
11    support in each case by applying the child support
12    guidelines unless the court makes a finding that
13    application of the guidelines would be inappropriate,
14    after considering the best interests of the child and
15    evidence which shows relevant factors including, but not
16    limited to, one or more of the following:
17            (A) the financial resources and needs of the child;
18            (B) the financial resources and needs of the
19        parents;
20            (C) the standard of living the child would have
21        enjoyed had the marriage or civil union not been
22        dissolved; and
23            (D) the physical and emotional condition of the
24        child and his or her educational needs.
25        (3) Income.
26            (A) As used in this Section, "gross income" means

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2162 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        the total of all income from all sources, except "gross
2        income" does not include (i) benefits received by the
3        parent from means-tested public assistance programs,
4        including, but not limited to, Temporary Assistance
5        for to Needy Families, Supplemental Security Income,
6        and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or
7        (ii) benefits and income received by the parent for
8        other children in the household, including, but not
9        limited to, child support, survivor benefits, and
10        foster care payments. Social security disability and
11        retirement benefits paid for the benefit of the subject
12        child must be included in the disabled or retired
13        parent's gross income for purposes of calculating the
14        parent's child support obligation, but the parent is
15        entitled to a child support credit for the amount of
16        benefits paid to the other party for the child. "Gross
17        income" also includes spousal maintenance received
18        pursuant to a court order in the pending proceedings or
19        any other proceedings that must be included in the
20        recipient's gross income for purposes of calculating
21        the parent's child support obligation.
22            (B) As used in this Section, "net income" means
23        gross income minus either the standardized tax amount
24        calculated pursuant to subparagraph (C) of this
25        paragraph (3) or the individualized tax amount
26        calculated pursuant to subparagraph (D) of this

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2163 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        paragraph (3), and minus any adjustments pursuant to
2        subparagraph (F) of this paragraph (3). The
3        standardized tax amount shall be used unless the
4        requirements for an individualized tax amount set
5        forth in subparagraph (E) of this paragraph (3) are
6        met.
7            (C) As used in this Section, "standardized tax
8        amount" means the total of federal and state income
9        taxes for a single person claiming the standard tax
10        deduction, one personal exemption, and the applicable
11        number of dependency exemptions for the minor child or
12        children of the parties, and Social Security and
13        Medicare tax calculated at the Federal Insurance
14        Contributions Act rate.
15                (I) Unless a court has determined otherwise or
16            the parties otherwise agree, the party with the
17            majority of parenting time shall be deemed
18            entitled to claim the dependency exemption for the
19            parties' minor child.
20                (II) The Illinois Department of Healthcare and
21            Family Services shall promulgate a standardized
22            net income conversion table that computes net
23            income by deducting the standardized tax amount
24            from gross income.
25            (D) As used in this Section, "individualized tax
26        amount" means the aggregate of the following taxes:

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2164 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1                (I) federal income tax (properly calculated
2            withholding or estimated payments);
3                (II) State income tax (properly calculated
4            withholding or estimated payments); and
5                (III) Social Security or self-employment tax,
6            if applicable (or, if none, mandatory retirement
7            contributions required by law or as a condition of
8            employment) and Medicare tax calculated at the
9            Federal Insurance Contributions Act rate.
10            (E) In lieu of a standardized tax amount, a
11        determination of an individualized tax amount may be
12        made under items (I), (II), or (III) below. If an
13        individualized tax amount determination is made under
14        this subparagraph (E), all relevant tax attributes
15        (including filing status, allocation of dependency
16        exemptions, and whether a party is to claim the
17        standard deduction or itemized deductions for federal
18        income tax purposes) shall be as the parties agree or
19        as the court determines. To determine a party's
20        reported income, the court may order the party to
21        complete an Internal Revenue Service Form 4506-T,
22        Request for Tax Transcript.
23                (I) Agreement. Irrespective of whether the
24            parties agree on any other issue before the court,
25            if they jointly stipulate for the record their
26            concurrence on a computation method for the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2165 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            individualized tax amount that is different from
2            the method set forth under subparagraph (D), the
3            stipulated method shall be used by the court unless
4            the court rejects the proposed stipulated method
5            for good cause.
6                (II) Summary hearing. If the court determines
7            child support in a summary hearing under Section
8            501 and an eligible party opts in to the
9            individualized tax amount method under this item
10            (II), the individualized tax amount shall be
11            determined by the court on the basis of information
12            contained in one or both parties' Supreme Court
13            approved Financial Affidavit (Family & Divorce
14            Cases) and relevant supporting documents under
15            applicable court rules. No party, however, is
16            eligible to opt in unless the party, under
17            applicable court rules, has served the other party
18            with the required Supreme Court approved Financial
19            Affidavit (Family & Divorce Cases) and has
20            substantially produced supporting documents
21            required by the applicable court rules.
22                (III) Evidentiary hearing. If the court
23            determines child support in an evidentiary
24            hearing, whether for purposes of a temporary order
25            or at the conclusion of a proceeding, item (II) of
26            this subparagraph (E) does not apply. In each such

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2166 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            case (unless item (I) governs), the individualized
2            tax amount shall be as determined by the court on
3            the basis of the record established.
4            (F) Adjustments to income.
5                (I) Multi-family adjustment. If a parent is
6            also legally responsible for support of a child not
7            shared with the other parent and not subject to the
8            present proceeding, there shall be an adjustment
9            to net income as follows:
10                    (i) Multi-family adjustment with court
11                order. The court shall deduct from the parent's
12                net income the amount of child support actually
13                paid by the parent pursuant to a support order
14                unless the court makes a finding that it would
15                cause economic hardship to the child.
16                    (ii) Multi-family adjustment without court
17                order. Upon the request or application of a
18                parent actually supporting a presumed,
19                acknowledged, or adjudicated child living in
20                or outside of that parent's household, there
21                shall be an adjustment to child support. The
22                court shall deduct from the parent's net income
23                the amount of financial support actually paid
24                by the parent for the child or 75% of the
25                support the parent should pay under the child
26                support guidelines (before this adjustment),

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2167 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1                whichever is less, unless the court makes a
2                finding that it would cause economic hardship
3                to the child. The adjustment shall be
4                calculated using that parent's income alone.
5                (II) Spousal Maintenance adjustment.
6            Obligations pursuant to a court order for spousal
7            maintenance in the pending proceeding actually
8            paid or payable to the same party to whom child
9            support is to be payable or actually paid to a
10            former spouse pursuant to a court order shall be
11            deducted from the parent's gross income.
12        (3.1) Business income. For purposes of calculating
13    child support, net business income from the operation of a
14    business means gross receipts minus ordinary and necessary
15    expenses required to carry on the trade or business. As
16    used in this paragraph, "business" includes, but is not
17    limited to, sole proprietorships, closely held
18    corporations, partnerships, other flow-through business
19    entities, and self-employment. The court shall apply the
20    following:
21            (A) The accelerated component of depreciation and
22        any business expenses determined either judicially or
23        administratively to be inappropriate or excessive
24        shall be excluded from the total of ordinary and
25        necessary business expenses to be deducted in the
26        determination of net business income from gross

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2168 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        business income.
2            (B) Any item of reimbursement or in-kind payment
3        received by a parent from a business, including, but
4        not limited to, a company car, reimbursed meals, free
5        housing, or a housing allowance, shall be counted as
6        income if not otherwise included in the recipient's
7        gross income, if the item is significant in amount and
8        reduces personal expenses.
9        (3.2) Unemployment or underemployment. If a parent is
10    voluntarily unemployed or underemployed, child support
11    shall be calculated based on a determination of potential
12    income. A determination of potential income shall be made
13    by determining employment potential and probable earnings
14    level based on the obligor's work history, occupational
15    qualifications, prevailing job opportunities, the
16    ownership by a parent of a substantial non-income producing
17    asset, and earnings levels in the community. If there is
18    insufficient work history to determine employment
19    potential and probable earnings level, there shall be a
20    rebuttable presumption that the parent's potential income
21    is 75% of the most recent United States Department of
22    Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Guidelines for a
23    family of one person.
24        (3.3) Rebuttable presumption in favor of guidelines.
25    There is a rebuttable presumption in any judicial or
26    administrative proceeding for child support that the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2169 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    amount of the child support obligation that would result
2    from the application of the child support guidelines is the
3    correct amount of child support.
4        (3.3a) Minimum child support obligation. There is a
5    rebuttable presumption that a minimum child support
6    obligation of $40 per month, per child, will be entered for
7    an obligor who has actual or imputed gross income at or
8    less than 75% of the most recent United States Department
9    of Health and Human Services Federal Poverty Guidelines for
10    a family of one person, with a maximum total child support
11    obligation for that obligor of $120 per month to be divided
12    equally among all of the obligor's children.
13        (3.3b) Zero dollar child support order. For parents
14    with no gross income, who receive only means-tested
15    assistance, or who cannot work due to a medically proven
16    disability, incarceration, or institutionalization, there
17    is a rebuttable presumption that the $40 per month minimum
18    support order is inapplicable and a zero dollar order shall
19    be entered.
20        (3.4) Deviation factors. In any action to establish or
21    modify child support, whether pursuant to a temporary or
22    final administrative or court order, the child support
23    guidelines shall be used as a rebuttable presumption for
24    the establishment or modification of the amount of child
25    support. The court may deviate from the child support
26    guidelines if the application would be inequitable,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2170 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    unjust, or inappropriate. Any deviation from the
2    guidelines shall be accompanied by written findings by the
3    court specifying the reasons for the deviation and the
4    presumed amount under the child support guidelines without
5    a deviation. These reasons may include:
6            (A) extraordinary medical expenditures necessary
7        to preserve the life or health of a party or a child of
8        either or both of the parties;
9            (B) additional expenses incurred for a child
10        subject to the child support order who has special
11        medical, physical, or developmental needs; and
12            (C) any other factor the court determines should be
13        applied upon a finding that the application of the
14        child support guidelines would be inappropriate, after
15        considering the best interest of the child.
16        (3.5) Income in excess of the schedule of basic child
17    support obligation. A court may use its discretion to
18    determine child support if the combined adjusted net income
19    of the parties exceeds the highest level of the schedule of
20    basic child support obligation, except that the basic child
21    support obligation shall not be less than the highest level
22    of combined net income set forth in the schedule of basic
23    child support obligation.
24        (3.6) Extracurricular activities and school expenses.
25    The court, in its discretion, in addition to the basic
26    child support obligation, may order either or both parents

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2171 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    owing a duty of support to the child to contribute to the
2    reasonable school and extracurricular activity expenses
3    incurred which are intended to enhance the educational,
4    athletic, social, or cultural development of the child.
5        (3.7) Child care expenses. The court, in its
6    discretion, in addition to the basic child support
7    obligation, may order either or both parents owing a duty
8    of support to the child to contribute to the reasonable
9    child care expenses of the child. The child care expenses
10    shall be made payable directly to a party or directly to
11    the child care provider at the time of child care services.
12            (A) "Child care expenses" means actual expenses
13        reasonably necessary to enable a parent or non-parent
14        custodian to be employed, to attend educational or
15        vocational training programs to improve employment
16        opportunities, or to search for employment. "Child
17        care expenses" also includes deposits for securing
18        placement in a child care program, the cost of before
19        and after school care, and camps when school is not in
20        session. A child's special needs shall be a
21        consideration in determining reasonable child care
22        expenses.
23            (B) Child care expenses shall be prorated in
24        proportion to each parent's percentage share of
25        combined net income, and may be added to the basic
26        child support obligation if not paid directly by each

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2172 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        parent to the provider of child care services. The
2        obligor's and obligee's portion of actual child care
3        expenses shall appear in the support order. If allowed,
4        the value of the federal income tax credit for child
5        care shall be subtracted from the actual cost to
6        determine the net child care costs.
7            (C) The amount of child care expenses shall be
8        adequate to obtain reasonable and necessary child
9        care. The actual child care expenses shall be used to
10        calculate the child care expenses, if available. When
11        actual child care expenses vary, the actual child care
12        expenses may be averaged over the most recent 12-month
13        period. When a parent is temporarily unemployed or
14        temporarily not attending educational or vocational
15        training programs, future child care expenses shall be
16        based upon prospective expenses to be incurred upon
17        return to employment or educational or vocational
18        training programs.
19            (D) An order for child care expenses may be
20        modified upon a showing of a substantial change in
21        circumstances. The party incurring child care expenses
22        shall notify the other party within 14 days of any
23        change in the amount of child care expenses that would
24        affect the annualized child care amount as determined
25        in the support order.
26        (3.8) Shared physical care. If each parent exercises

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2173 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    146 or more overnights per year with the child, the basic
2    child support obligation is multiplied by 1.5 to calculate
3    the shared care child support obligation. The court shall
4    determine each parent's share of the shared care child
5    support obligation based on the parent's percentage share
6    of combined net income. The child support obligation is
7    then computed for each parent by multiplying that parent's
8    portion of the shared care support obligation by the
9    percentage of time the child spends with the other parent.
10    The respective child support obligations are then offset,
11    with the parent owing more child support paying the
12    difference between the child support amounts. The Illinois
13    Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall
14    promulgate a worksheet to calculate child support in cases
15    in which the parents have shared physical care and use the
16    standardized tax amount to determine net income.
17        (3.9) Split physical care. When there is more than one
18    child and each parent has physical care of at least one but
19    not all of the children, the support is calculated by using
20    2 child support worksheets to determine the support each
21    parent owes the other. The support shall be calculated as
22    follows:
23            (A) compute the support the first parent would owe
24        to other parent as if the child in his or her care was
25        the only child of the parties; then
26            (B) compute the support the other parent would owe

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2174 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        to the first parent as if the child in his or her care
2        were the only child of the parties; then
3            (C) subtract the lesser support obligation from
4        the greater.
5        The parent who owes the greater obligation shall be
6    ordered to pay the difference in support to the other
7    parent, unless the court determines, pursuant to other
8    provisions of this Section, that it should deviate from the
9    guidelines.
10        (4) Health care.
11            (A) A portion of the basic child support obligation
12        is intended to cover basic ordinary out-of-pocket
13        medical expenses. The court, in its discretion, in
14        addition to the basic child support obligation, shall
15        also provide for the child's current and future medical
16        needs by ordering either or both parents to initiate
17        health insurance coverage for the child through
18        currently effective health insurance policies held by
19        the parent or parents, purchase one or more or all
20        health, dental, or vision insurance policies for the
21        child, or provide for the child's current and future
22        medical needs through some other manner.
23            (B) The court, in its discretion, may order either
24        or both parents to contribute to the reasonable health
25        care needs of the child not covered by insurance,
26        including, but not limited to, unreimbursed medical,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2175 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        dental, orthodontic, or vision expenses and any
2        prescription medication for the child not covered
3        under the child's health insurance.
4            (C) If neither parent has access to appropriate
5        private health insurance coverage, the court may
6        order:
7                (I) one or both parents to provide health
8            insurance coverage at any time it becomes
9            available at a reasonable cost; or
10                (II) the parent or non-parent custodian with
11            primary physical responsibility for the child to
12            apply for public health insurance coverage for the
13            child and require either or both parents to pay a
14            reasonable amount of the cost of health insurance
15            for the child.
16            The order may also provide that any time private
17        health insurance coverage is available at a reasonable
18        cost to that party it will be provided instead of cash
19        medical support. As used in this Section, "cash medical
20        support" means an amount ordered to be paid toward the
21        cost of health insurance provided by a public entity or
22        by another person through employment or otherwise or
23        for other medical costs not covered by insurance.
24            (D) The amount to be added to the basic child
25        support obligation shall be the actual amount of the
26        total health insurance premium that is attributable to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2176 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        the child who is the subject of the order. If this
2        amount is not available or cannot be verified, the
3        total cost of the health insurance premium shall be
4        divided by the total number of persons covered by the
5        policy. The cost per person derived from this
6        calculation shall be multiplied by the number of
7        children who are the subject of the order and who are
8        covered under the health insurance policy. This amount
9        shall be added to the basic child support obligation
10        and shall be allocated between the parents in
11        proportion to their respective net incomes.
12            (E) After the health insurance premium for the
13        child is added to the basic child support obligation
14        and allocated between the parents in proportion to
15        their respective incomes for child support purposes,
16        if the obligor is paying the premium, the amount
17        calculated for the obligee's share of the health
18        insurance premium for the child shall be deducted from
19        the obligor's share of the total child support
20        obligation. If the obligee is paying for private health
21        insurance for the child, the child support obligation
22        shall be increased by the obligor's share of the
23        premium payment. The obligor's and obligee's portion
24        of health insurance costs shall appear in the support
25        order.
26            (F) Prior to allowing the health insurance

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2177 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        adjustment, the parent requesting the adjustment must
2        submit proof that the child has been enrolled in a
3        health insurance plan and must submit proof of the cost
4        of the premium. The court shall require the parent
5        receiving the adjustment to annually submit proof of
6        continued coverage of the child to the other parent, or
7        as designated by the court.
8            (G) A reasonable cost for providing health
9        insurance coverage for the child may not exceed 5% of
10        the providing parent's gross income. Parents with a net
11        income below 133% of the most recent United States
12        Department of Health and Human Services Federal
13        Poverty Guidelines or whose child is covered by
14        Medicaid based on that parent's income may not be
15        ordered to contribute toward or provide private
16        coverage, unless private coverage is obtainable
17        without any financial contribution by that parent.
18            (H) If dental or vision insurance is included as
19        part of the employer's medical plan, the coverage shall
20        be maintained for the child. If not included in the
21        employer's medical plan, adding the dental or vision
22        insurance for the child is at the discretion of the
23        court.
24            (I) If a parent has been directed to provide health
25        insurance pursuant to this paragraph and that parent's
26        spouse or legally recognized partner provides the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2178 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        insurance for the benefit of the child either directly
2        or through employment, a credit on the child support
3        worksheet shall be given to that parent in the same
4        manner as if the premium were paid by that parent.
5        (4.5) In a proceeding for child support following
6    dissolution of the marriage or civil union by a court that
7    lacked personal jurisdiction over the absent spouse, and in
8    which the court is requiring payment of support for the
9    period before the date an order for current support is
10    entered, there is a rebuttable presumption that the
11    obligor's net income for the prior period was the same as
12    his or her net income at the time the order for current
13    support is entered.
14        (5) If the net income cannot be determined because of
15    default or any other reason, the court shall order support
16    in an amount considered reasonable in the particular case.
17    The final order in all cases shall state the support level
18    in dollar amounts. However, if the court finds that the
19    child support amount cannot be expressed exclusively as a
20    dollar amount because all or a portion of the obligor's net
21    income is uncertain as to source, time of payment, or
22    amount, the court may order a percentage amount of support
23    in addition to a specific dollar amount and enter such
24    other orders as may be necessary to determine and enforce,
25    on a timely basis, the applicable support ordered.
26        (6) If (i) the obligor was properly served with a

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2179 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    request for discovery of financial information relating to
2    the obligor's ability to provide child support, (ii) the
3    obligor failed to comply with the request, despite having
4    been ordered to do so by the court, and (iii) the obligor
5    is not present at the hearing to determine support despite
6    having received proper notice, then any relevant financial
7    information concerning the obligor's ability to provide
8    child support that was obtained pursuant to subpoena and
9    proper notice shall be admitted into evidence without the
10    need to establish any further foundation for its admission.
11    (a-5) In an action to enforce an order for child support
12based on the obligor's failure to make support payments as
13required by the order, notice of proceedings to hold the
14obligor in contempt for that failure may be served on the
15obligor by personal service or by regular mail addressed to the
16last known address of the obligor. The last known address of
17the obligor may be determined from records of the clerk of the
18court, from the Federal Case Registry of Child Support Orders,
19or by any other reasonable means.
20    (b) Failure of either parent to comply with an order to pay
21support shall be punishable as in other cases of contempt. In
22addition to other penalties provided by law the court may,
23after finding the parent guilty of contempt, order that the
24parent be:
25        (1) placed on probation with such conditions of
26    probation as the court deems advisable;

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2180 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        (2) sentenced to periodic imprisonment for a period not
2    to exceed 6 months; provided, however, that the court may
3    permit the parent to be released for periods of time during
4    the day or night to:
5            (A) work; or
6            (B) conduct a business or other self-employed
7        occupation.
8    The court may further order any part or all of the earnings
9of a parent during a sentence of periodic imprisonment paid to
10the Clerk of the Circuit Court or to the parent having physical
11possession of the child or to the non-parent custodian having
12custody of the child of the sentenced parent for the support of
13the child until further order of the court.
14    If a parent who is found guilty of contempt for failure to
15comply with an order to pay support is a person who conducts a
16business or who is self-employed, the court in addition to
17other penalties provided by law may order that the parent do
18one or more of the following: (i) provide to the court monthly
19financial statements showing income and expenses from the
20business or the self-employment; (ii) seek employment and
21report periodically to the court with a diary, listing, or
22other memorandum of his or her employment search efforts; or
23(iii) report to the Department of Employment Security for job
24search services to find employment that will be subject to
25withholding for child support.
26    If there is a unity of interest and ownership sufficient to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2181 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1render no financial separation between an obligor and another
2person or persons or business entity, the court may pierce the
3ownership veil of the person, persons, or business entity to
4discover assets of the obligor held in the name of that person,
5those persons, or that business entity. The following
6circumstances are sufficient to authorize a court to order
7discovery of the assets of a person, persons, or business
8entity and to compel the application of any discovered assets
9toward payment on the judgment for support:
10        (1) the obligor and the person, persons, or business
11    entity maintain records together.
12        (2) the obligor and the person, persons, or business
13    entity fail to maintain an arm's length relationship
14    between themselves with regard to any assets.
15        (3) the obligor transfers assets to the person,
16    persons, or business entity with the intent to perpetrate a
17    fraud on the obligee.
18    With respect to assets which are real property, no order
19entered under this paragraph shall affect the rights of bona
20fide purchasers, mortgagees, judgment creditors, or other lien
21holders who acquire their interests in the property prior to
22the time a notice of lis pendens pursuant to the Code of Civil
23Procedure or a copy of the order is placed of record in the
24office of the recorder of deeds for the county in which the
25real property is located.
26    The court may also order in cases where the parent is 90

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2182 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1days or more delinquent in payment of support or has been
2adjudicated in arrears in an amount equal to 90 days obligation
3or more, that the parent's Illinois driving privileges be
4suspended until the court determines that the parent is in
5compliance with the order of support. The court may also order
6that the parent be issued a family financial responsibility
7driving permit that would allow limited driving privileges for
8employment and medical purposes in accordance with Section
97-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The Clerk of the Circuit
10Court shall certify the order suspending the driving privileges
11of the parent or granting the issuance of a family financial
12responsibility driving permit to the Secretary of State on
13forms prescribed by the Secretary of State. Upon receipt of the
14authenticated documents, the Secretary of State shall suspend
15the parent's driving privileges until further order of the
16court and shall, if ordered by the court, subject to the
17provisions of Section 7-702.1 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
18issue a family financial responsibility driving permit to the
19parent.
20    In addition to the penalties or punishment that may be
21imposed under this Section, any person whose conduct
22constitutes a violation of Section 15 of the Non-Support
23Punishment Act may be prosecuted under that Act, and a person
24convicted under that Act may be sentenced in accordance with
25that Act. The sentence may include but need not be limited to a
26requirement that the person perform community service under

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2183 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1Section 50 of that Act or participate in a work alternative
2program under Section 50 of that Act. A person may not be
3required to participate in a work alternative program under
4Section 50 of that Act if the person is currently participating
5in a work program pursuant to Section 505.1 of this Act.
6    A support obligation, or any portion of a support
7obligation, which becomes due and remains unpaid as of the end
8of each month, excluding the child support that was due for
9that month to the extent that it was not paid in that month,
10shall accrue simple interest as set forth in Section 12-109 of
11the Code of Civil Procedure. An order for support entered or
12modified on or after January 1, 2006 shall contain a statement
13that a support obligation required under the order, or any
14portion of a support obligation required under the order, that
15becomes due and remains unpaid as of the end of each month,
16excluding the child support that was due for that month to the
17extent that it was not paid in that month, shall accrue simple
18interest as set forth in Section 12-109 of the Code of Civil
19Procedure. Failure to include the statement in the order for
20support does not affect the validity of the order or the
21accrual of interest as provided in this Section.
22    (c) A one-time charge of 20% is imposable upon the amount
23of past-due child support owed on July 1, 1988 which has
24accrued under a support order entered by the court. The charge
25shall be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section
2610-21 of the Illinois Public Aid Code and shall be enforced by

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2184 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the court upon petition.
2    (d) Any new or existing support order entered by the court
3under this Section shall be deemed to be a series of judgments
4against the person obligated to pay support thereunder, each
5such judgment to be in the amount of each payment or
6installment of support and each such judgment to be deemed
7entered as of the date the corresponding payment or installment
8becomes due under the terms of the support order. Each such
9judgment shall have the full force, effect and attributes of
10any other judgment of this State, including the ability to be
11enforced. Notwithstanding any other State or local law to the
12contrary, a lien arises by operation of law against the real
13and personal property of the obligor for each installment of
14overdue support owed by the obligor.
15    (e) When child support is to be paid through the Clerk of
16the Court in a county of 1,000,000 inhabitants or less, the
17order shall direct the obligor to pay to the Clerk, in addition
18to the child support payments, all fees imposed by the county
19board under paragraph (3) of subsection (u) of Section 27.1 of
20the Clerks of Courts Act. Unless paid pursuant to an Income
21Withholding Order/Notice for Support, the payment of the fee
22shall be by payment acceptable to the clerk and shall be made
23to the order of the Clerk.
24    (f) All orders for support, when entered or modified, shall
25include a provision requiring the obligor to notify the court
26and, in cases in which a party is receiving child and spouse

1services under Article X of the Illinois Public Aid Code, the
2Department of Healthcare and Family Services, within 7 days,
3(i) of the name and address of any new employer of the obligor,
4(ii) whether the obligor has access to health insurance
5coverage through the employer or other group coverage and, if
6so, the policy name and number and the names of persons covered
7under the policy, except only the initials of any covered
8minors shall be included, and (iii) of any new residential or
9mailing address or telephone number of the obligor. In any
10subsequent action to enforce a support order, upon a sufficient
11showing that a diligent effort has been made to ascertain the
12location of the obligor, service of process or provision of
13notice necessary in the case may be made at the last known
14address of the obligor in any manner expressly provided by the
15Code of Civil Procedure or this Act, which service shall be
16sufficient for purposes of due process.
17    (g) An order for support shall include a date on which the
18current support obligation terminates. The termination date
19shall be no earlier than the date on which the child covered by
20the order will attain the age of 18. However, if the child will
21not graduate from high school until after attaining the age of
2218, then the termination date shall be no earlier than the
23earlier of the date on which the child's high school graduation
24will occur or the date on which the child will attain the age
25of 19. The order for support shall state that the termination
26date does not apply to any arrearage that may remain unpaid on

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2186 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1that date. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to
2prevent the court from modifying the order or terminating the
3order in the event the child is otherwise emancipated.
4    (g-5) If there is an unpaid arrearage or delinquency (as
5those terms are defined in the Income Withholding for Support
6Act) equal to at least one month's support obligation on the
7termination date stated in the order for support or, if there
8is no termination date stated in the order, on the date the
9child attains the age of majority or is otherwise emancipated,
10the periodic amount required to be paid for current support of
11that child immediately prior to that date shall automatically
12continue to be an obligation, not as current support but as
13periodic payment toward satisfaction of the unpaid arrearage or
14delinquency. That periodic payment shall be in addition to any
15periodic payment previously required for satisfaction of the
16arrearage or delinquency. The total periodic amount to be paid
17toward satisfaction of the arrearage or delinquency may be
18enforced and collected by any method provided by law for
19enforcement and collection of child support, including but not
20limited to income withholding under the Income Withholding for
21Support Act. Each order for support entered or modified on or
22after January 1, 2005 (the effective date of Public Act
2393-1061) this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly must
24contain a statement notifying the parties of the requirements
25of this subsection. Failure to include the statement in the
26order for support does not affect the validity of the order or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2187 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1the operation of the provisions of this subsection with regard
2to the order. This subsection shall not be construed to prevent
3or affect the establishment or modification of an order for
4support of a minor child or the establishment or modification
5of an order for support of a non-minor child or educational
6expenses under Section 513 of this Act.
7    (h) An order entered under this Section shall include a
8provision requiring either parent to report to the other parent
9and to the Clerk of Court within 10 days each time either
10parent obtains new employment, and each time either parent's
11employment is terminated for any reason. The report shall be in
12writing and shall, in the case of new employment, include the
13name and address of the new employer. Failure to report new
14employment or the termination of current employment, if coupled
15with nonpayment of support for a period in excess of 60 days,
16is indirect criminal contempt. For either parent arrested for
17failure to report new employment bond shall be set in the
18amount of the child support that should have been paid during
19the period of unreported employment. An order entered under
20this Section shall also include a provision requiring either
21obligor and obligee to advise the other of a change in
22residence within 5 days of the change except when the court
23finds that the physical, mental, or emotional health of a party
24or that of a child, or both, would be seriously endangered by
25disclosure of the party's address.
26    (i) The court does not lose the powers of contempt,

24        (5) Denial of approval. In all cases where the child to
25    be placed is not a youth in the care of any state, if the
26    Department denies approval of an interstate placement, the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2193 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    written decision referenced in paragraph (b)(4) of this
2    Section shall set forth the reason or reasons why the

17    documents or information.
18        (7) Electronic communication. All communications
19    concerning an interstate placement made between the
20    Department and an Illinois licensed child welfare agency,
21    an out-of-state child placing agency, and attorneys

23    parent, including the written communications referenced in
24    this Section, may be made through any type of electronic
25    means, including, but not limited to, electronic mail.
26    (c) Intercountry adoptions. The adoption of a child, if the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2194 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1child is a habitual resident of a country other than the United
2States and the petitioner is a habitual resident of the United
3States, or, if the child is a habitual resident of the United
4States and the petitioner is a habitual resident of a country
5other than the United States, shall comply with the

11additional preadoption requirements.
12    (d) (Blank).
13    (e) Re-adoption after an intercountry adoption.

24        at the time of the child's immigration;
25            (ii) a decree, judgment, certificate of adoption,
26        adoption registration, or equivalent court order,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2195 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

2        or administrative body outside the United States,
3        establishing the relationship of parent and child by
4        adoption; or
5            (iii) such other evidence deemed satisfactory by
6        the court.
7        (3) The child's immigrant visa shall be prima facie
8    proof that the adoption was established in accordance with
9    the laws of the foreign jurisdiction and met United States
10    requirements for immigration.
11        (4) If the petitioner submits documentation that
12    satisfies the requirements of paragraph (2), the court

18    of the petitioner.
19        (5) The petition may include a request for change of
20    the child's name and any other request for specific relief
21    that is in the best interests of the child. The relief may
22    include a request for a revised birth date for the child if

HB5447 Engrossed- 2196 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    together in a foreign country while married to one another
2    may file a petition for adoption to re-adopt the child
3    jointly, regardless of whether their marriage has been
4    dissolved. If either parent whose marriage was dissolved
5    has subsequently remarried or entered into a civil union
6    with another person, the new spouse or civil union partner
7    shall not join in the petition to re-adopt the child,
8    unless the new spouse or civil union partner is seeking to
9    adopt the child. If either adoptive parent does not join in
10    the petition, he or she must be joined as a party
11    defendant. The defendant parent's failure to participate
12    in the re-adoption proceeding shall not affect the existing
13    parental rights or obligations of the parent as they relate
14    to the minor child, and the parent's name shall be placed
15    on any subsequent birth record issued for the child as a
16    result of the re-adoption proceeding.
17        (7) An adoptive parent who adopted a minor child in a
18    foreign country as an unmarried person may file a petition
19    for adoption to re-adopt the child as a sole petitioner,
20    even if the adoptive parent has subsequently married or

22        (8) If one of the adoptive parents who adopted a minor
23    child dies prior to a re-adoption proceeding, the deceased
24    parent's name shall be placed on any subsequent birth
25    record issued for the child as a result of the re-adoption
26    proceeding.

16    Sec. 214. Order of protection; remedies.
17    (a) Issuance of order. If the court finds that petitioner
18has been abused by a family or household member or that
19petitioner is a high-risk adult who has been abused, neglected,
20or exploited, as defined in this Act, an order of protection
21prohibiting the abuse, neglect, or exploitation shall issue;
22provided that petitioner must also satisfy the requirements of
23one of the following Sections, as appropriate: Section 217 on

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2198 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders, or Section 219
2on plenary orders. Petitioner shall not be denied an order of
3protection because petitioner or respondent is a minor. The
4court, when determining whether or not to issue an order of
5protection, shall not require physical manifestations of abuse
6on the person of the victim. Modification and extension of
7prior orders of protection shall be in accordance with this
8Act.
9    (b) Remedies and standards. The remedies to be included in
10an order of protection shall be determined in accordance with
11this Section and one of the following Sections, as appropriate:
12Section 217 on emergency orders, Section 218 on interim orders,
13and Section 219 on plenary orders. The remedies listed in this
14subsection shall be in addition to other civil or criminal
15remedies available to petitioner.
16        (1) Prohibition of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
17    Prohibit respondent's harassment, interference with
18    personal liberty, intimidation of a dependent, physical
19    abuse, or willful deprivation, neglect or exploitation, as
20    defined in this Act, or stalking of the petitioner, as
21    defined in Section 12-7.3 of the Criminal Code of 2012, if
22    such abuse, neglect, exploitation, or stalking has
23    occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not
24    prohibited.
25        (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
26    Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2199 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
2    including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
3    has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
4    possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
5    not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be
6    limited by the standard set forth in Section 701 of the
7    Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act.
8            (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
9        occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
10        or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
11        spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
12        party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
13        person or entity other than the opposing party that
14        authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
15        violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
16        (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
17            (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
18        respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
19        residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
20        hardships to respondent and any minor child or
21        dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
22        entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
23        petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
24        petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
25        the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
26        residence or household) or from loss of possession of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2200 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
2        avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
3        of hardships, the court shall also take into account
4        the accessibility of the residence or household.
5        Hardships need not be balanced if respondent does not
6        have a right to occupancy.
7            The balance of hardships is presumed to favor
8        possession by petitioner unless the presumption is
9        rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, showing
10        that the hardships to respondent substantially
11        outweigh the hardships to petitioner and any minor
12        child or dependent adult in petitioner's care. The
13        court, on the request of petitioner or on its own
14        motion, may order respondent to provide suitable,
15        accessible, alternate housing for petitioner instead
16        of excluding respondent from a mutual residence or
17        household.
18        (3) Stay away order and additional prohibitions. Order
19    respondent to stay away from petitioner or any other person
20    protected by the order of protection, or prohibit
21    respondent from entering or remaining present at
22    petitioner's school, place of employment, or other
23    specified places at times when petitioner is present, or
24    both, if reasonable, given the balance of hardships.
25    Hardships need not be balanced for the court to enter a
26    stay away order or prohibit entry if respondent has no

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2201 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    right to enter the premises.
2            (A) If an order of protection grants petitioner
3        exclusive possession of the residence, or prohibits
4        respondent from entering the residence, or orders
5        respondent to stay away from petitioner or other
6        protected persons, then the court may allow respondent
7        access to the residence to remove items of clothing and
8        personal adornment used exclusively by respondent,
9        medications, and other items as the court directs. The
10        right to access shall be exercised on only one occasion
11        as the court directs and in the presence of an
12        agreed-upon adult third party or law enforcement
13        officer.
14            (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
15        the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
16        middle, or high school, the court when issuing an order
17        of protection and providing relief shall consider the
18        severity of the act, any continuing physical danger or
19        emotional distress to the petitioner, the educational
20        rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent
21        under federal and State law, the availability of a
22        transfer of the respondent to another school, a change
23        of placement or a change of program of the respondent,
24        the expense, difficulty, and educational disruption
25        that would be caused by a transfer of the respondent to
26        another school, and any other relevant facts of the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2202 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        case. The court may order that the respondent not
2        attend the public, private, or non-public elementary,
3        middle, or high school attended by the petitioner,
4        order that the respondent accept a change of placement
5        or change of program, as determined by the school
6        district or private or non-public school, or place
7        restrictions on the respondent's movements within the
8        school attended by the petitioner. The respondent
9        bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the
10        evidence that a transfer, change of placement, or
11        change of program of the respondent is not available.
12        The respondent also bears the burden of production with
13        respect to the expense, difficulty, and educational
14        disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
15        respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
16        placement, or change of program is not unavailable to
17        the respondent solely on the ground that the respondent
18        does not agree with the school district's or private or
19        non-public school's transfer, change of placement, or
20        change of program or solely on the ground that the
21        respondent fails or refuses to consent or otherwise
22        does not take an action required to effectuate a
23        transfer, change of placement, or change of program.
24        When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
25        public, private, or non-public school attended by the
26        petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2203 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        another attendance center within the respondent's
2        school district or private or non-public school, the
3        school district or private or non-public school shall
4        have sole discretion to determine the attendance
5        center to which the respondent is transferred. In the
6        event the court order results in a transfer of the
7        minor respondent to another attendance center, a
8        change in the respondent's placement, or a change of
9        the respondent's program, the parents, guardian, or
10        legal custodian of the respondent is responsible for
11        transportation and other costs associated with the
12        transfer or change.
13            (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
14        legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
15        actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
16        ensure that the respondent complies with the order. In
17        the event the court orders a transfer of the respondent
18        to another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
19        custodian of the respondent is responsible for
20        transportation and other costs associated with the
21        change of school by the respondent.
22        (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to
23    undergo counseling for a specified duration with a social
24    worker, psychologist, clinical psychologist, psychiatrist,
25    family service agency, alcohol or substance abuse program,
26    mental health center guidance counselor, agency providing

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2204 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    services to elders, program designed for domestic violence
2    abusers or any other guidance service the court deems
3    appropriate. The Court may order the respondent in any
4    intimate partner relationship to report to an Illinois
5    Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
6    abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
7    all recommended treatment.
8        (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
9    order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
10    unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
11    minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
12    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
13    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
14    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
15    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
16    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
17    in loco parentis.
18        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
19    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
20    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
21    awarding physical care to respondent would not be in the
22    minor child's best interest.
23        (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities:
24    significant decision-making. Award temporary
25    decision-making responsibility to petitioner in accordance
26    with this Section, the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2205 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    Marriage Act, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015, and this
2    State's Uniform Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement
3    Act.
4        If a court finds, after a hearing, that respondent has
5    committed abuse (as defined in Section 103) of a minor
6    child, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that
7    awarding temporary significant decision-making
8    responsibility to respondent would not be in the child's
9    best interest.
10        (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
11    any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
12    physical care or allocates temporary significant
13    decision-making responsibility of a minor child to
14    petitioner. The court shall restrict or deny respondent's
15    parenting time with a minor child if the court finds that
16    respondent has done or is likely to do any of the
17    following: (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
18    parenting time; (ii) use the parenting time as an
19    opportunity to abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's
20    family or household members; (iii) improperly conceal or
21    detain the minor child; or (iv) otherwise act in a manner
22    that is not in the best interests of the minor child. The
23    court shall not be limited by the standards set forth in
24    Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
25    Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting time, the order
26    shall specify dates and times for the parenting time to

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2206 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    take place or other specific parameters or conditions that
2    are appropriate. No order for parenting time shall refer
3    merely to the term "reasonable parenting time".
4        Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
5    child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
6    respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
7    constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
8    petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
9    a violent or abusive manner.
10        If necessary to protect any member of petitioner's
11    family or household from future abuse, respondent shall be
12    prohibited from coming to petitioner's residence to meet
13    the minor child for parenting time, and the parties shall
14    submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
15    alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
16    be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
17    an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
18    acknowledging accountability to the court.
19        (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
20    respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
21    concealing the child within the State.
22        (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
23    court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
24    neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
25    child to the custody or care of the petitioner or to permit
26    any court-ordered interview or examination of the child or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2207 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    the respondent.
2        (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
3    exclusive possession of personal property and, if
4    respondent has possession or control, direct respondent to
5    promptly make it available to petitioner, if:
6            (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
7        property; or
8            (ii) the parties own the property jointly; sharing
9        it would risk abuse of petitioner by respondent or is
10        impracticable; and the balance of hardships favors
11        temporary possession by petitioner.
12        If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
13    is that it is marital property, the court may award
14    petitioner temporary possession thereof under the
15    standards of subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph only if a
16    proper proceeding has been filed under the Illinois
17    Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as now or
18    hereafter amended.
19        No order under this provision shall affect title to
20    property.
21        (11) Protection of property. Forbid the respondent
22    from taking, transferring, encumbering, concealing,
23    damaging or otherwise disposing of any real or personal
24    property, except as explicitly authorized by the court, if:
25            (i) petitioner, but not respondent, owns the
26        property; or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2208 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            (ii) the parties own the property jointly, and the
2        balance of hardships favors granting this remedy.
3        If petitioner's sole claim to ownership of the property
4    is that it is marital property, the court may grant
5    petitioner relief under subparagraph (ii) of this
6    paragraph only if a proper proceeding has been filed under
7    the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
8    now or hereafter amended.
9        The court may further prohibit respondent from
10    improperly using the financial or other resources of an
11    aged member of the family or household for the profit or
12    advantage of respondent or of any other person.
13        (11.5) Protection of animals. Grant the petitioner the
14    exclusive care, custody, or control of any animal owned,
15    possessed, leased, kept, or held by either the petitioner
16    or the respondent or a minor child residing in the
17    residence or household of either the petitioner or the
18    respondent and order the respondent to stay away from the
19    animal and forbid the respondent from taking,
20    transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
21    otherwise disposing of the animal.
22        (12) Order for payment of support. Order respondent to
23    pay temporary support for the petitioner or any child in
24    the petitioner's care or over whom the petitioner has been
25    allocated parental responsibility, when the respondent has
26    a legal obligation to support that person, in accordance

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2209 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    with the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act,
2    which shall govern, among other matters, the amount of
3    support, payment through the clerk and withholding of
4    income to secure payment. An order for child support may be
5    granted to a petitioner with lawful physical care of a
6    child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
7    child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
8    decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
9    expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
10    responsibility differently and vacating the petitioner's
11    significant decision-making authority, unless otherwise
12    provided in the order.
13        (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
14    pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
15    the abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Such losses shall
16    include, but not be limited to, medical expenses, lost
17    earnings or other support, repair or replacement of
18    property damaged or taken, reasonable attorney's fees,
19    court costs and moving or other travel expenses, including
20    additional reasonable expenses for temporary shelter and
21    restaurant meals.
22            (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
23        entitled to seek maintenance, child support or
24        property distribution from the other party under the
25        Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
26        now or hereafter amended, the court may order

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2210 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
2        the extent that such reimbursement would be
3        "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
4        subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
5            (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
6        improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
7        court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
8        expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
9        and recovery of the minor child, including but not
10        limited to legal fees, court costs, private
11        investigator fees, and travel costs.
12        (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
13    from entering or remaining in the residence or household
14    while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
15    drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
16    of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
17        (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
18            (a) Prohibit a respondent against whom an order of
19        protection was issued from possessing any firearms
20        during the duration of the order if the order:
21                (1) was issued after a hearing of which such
22            person received actual notice, and at which such
23            person had an opportunity to participate;
24                (2) restrains such person from harassing,
25            stalking, or threatening an intimate partner of
26            such person or child of such intimate partner or

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2211 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            person, or engaging in other conduct that would
2            place an intimate partner in reasonable fear of
3            bodily injury to the partner or child; and
4                (3)(i) includes a finding that such person
5            represents a credible threat to the physical
6            safety of such intimate partner or child; or (ii)
7            by its terms explicitly prohibits the use,
8            attempted use, or threatened use of physical force
9            against such intimate partner or child that would
10            reasonably be expected to cause bodily injury.
11        Any Firearm Owner's Identification Card in the
12        possession of the respondent, except as provided in
13        subsection (b), shall be ordered by the court to be
14        turned over to the local law enforcement agency. The
15        local law enforcement agency shall immediately mail
16        the card to the Department of State Police Firearm
17        Owner's Identification Card Office for safekeeping.
18        The court shall issue a warrant for seizure of any
19        firearm in the possession of the respondent, to be kept
20        by the local law enforcement agency for safekeeping,
21        except as provided in subsection (b). The period of
22        safekeeping shall be for the duration of the order of
23        protection. The firearm or firearms and Firearm
24        Owner's Identification Card, if unexpired, shall at
25        the respondent's request, be returned to the
26        respondent at the end of the order of protection. It is

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2212 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        the respondent's responsibility to notify the
2        Department of State Police Firearm Owner's
3        Identification Card Office.
4            (b) If the respondent is a peace officer as defined
5        in Section 2-13 of the Criminal Code of 2012, the court
6        shall order that any firearms used by the respondent in
7        the performance of his or her duties as a peace officer
8        be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive
9        of the agency in which the respondent is employed, who
10        shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the
11        duration of the order of protection.
12            (c) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
13        if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
14        cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
15        cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
16        retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
17        possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
18        enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
19        enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
20        firearms for training purposes, or for any other
21        application as deemed appropriate by the local law
22        enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned over
23        to a third party who is lawfully eligible to possess
24        firearms, and who does not reside with respondent.
25        (15) Prohibition of access to records. If an order of
26    protection prohibits respondent from having contact with

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2213 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    the minor child, or if petitioner's address is omitted
2    under subsection (b) of Section 203, or if necessary to
3    prevent abuse or wrongful removal or concealment of a minor
4    child, the order shall deny respondent access to, and
5    prohibit respondent from inspecting, obtaining, or
6    attempting to inspect or obtain, school or any other
7    records of the minor child who is in the care of
8    petitioner.
9        (16) Order for payment of shelter services. Order
10    respondent to reimburse a shelter providing temporary
11    housing and counseling services to the petitioner for the
12    cost of the services, as certified by the shelter and
13    deemed reasonable by the court.
14        (17) Order for injunctive relief. Enter injunctive
15    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
16    a family or household member or further abuse, neglect, or
17    exploitation of a high-risk adult with disabilities or to
18    effectuate one of the granted remedies, if supported by the
19    balance of hardships. If the harm to be prevented by the
20    injunction is abuse or any other harm that one of the
21    remedies listed in paragraphs (1) through (16) of this
22    subsection is designed to prevent, no further evidence is
23    necessary that the harm is an irreparable injury.
24        (18) Telephone services.
25            (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
26        (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2214 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone
2        service provider to transfer to the petitioner the
3        right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
4        indicated by the petitioner and the financial
5        responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
6        as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. For
7        purposes of this paragraph (18), the term "wireless
8        telephone service provider" means a provider of
9        commercial mobile service as defined in 47 U.S.C. 332.
10        The petitioner may request the transfer of each
11        telephone number that the petitioner, or a minor child
12        in his or her custody, uses. The clerk of the court
13        shall serve the order on the wireless telephone service
14        provider's agent for service of process provided to the
15        Illinois Commerce Commission. The order shall contain
16        all of the following:
17                (i) The name and billing telephone number of
18            the account holder including the name of the
19            wireless telephone service provider that serves
20            the account.
21                (ii) Each telephone number that will be
22            transferred.
23                (iii) A statement that the provider transfers
24            to the petitioner all financial responsibility for
25            and right to the use of any telephone number
26            transferred under this paragraph.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2215 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1            (B) A wireless telephone service provider shall
2        terminate the respondent's use of, and shall transfer
3        to the petitioner use of, the telephone number or
4        numbers indicated in subparagraph (A) of this
5        paragraph unless it notifies the petitioner, within 72
6        hours after it receives the order, that one of the
7        following applies:
8                (i) The account holder named in the order has
9            terminated the account.
10                (ii) A difference in network technology would
11            prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
12            a network if the transfer occurs.
13                (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
14            other limitation on network or service provision
15            to the petitioner.
16                (iv) Another technological or operational
17            issue would prevent or impair the use of the
18            telephone number if the transfer occurs.
19            (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
20        responsibility for and right to the use of any
21        telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In
22        this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
23        monthly service costs and costs associated with any
24        mobile device associated with the number.
25            (D) A wireless telephone service provider may
26        apply to the petitioner its routine and customary

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2216 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        requirements for establishing an account or
2        transferring a number, including requiring the
3        petitioner to provide proof of identification,
4        financial information, and customer preferences.
5            (E) Except for willful or wanton misconduct, a
6        wireless telephone service provider is immune from
7        civil liability for its actions taken in compliance
8        with a court order issued under this paragraph.
9            (F) All wireless service providers that provide
10        services to residential customers shall provide to the
11        Illinois Commerce Commission the name and address of an
12        agent for service of orders entered under this
13        paragraph (18). Any change in status of the registered
14        agent must be reported to the Illinois Commerce
15        Commission within 30 days of such change.
16            (G) The Illinois Commerce Commission shall
17        maintain the list of registered agents for service for
18        each wireless telephone service provider on the
19        Commission's website. The Commission may consult with
20        wireless telephone service providers and the Circuit
21        Court Clerks on the manner in which this information is
22        provided and displayed.
23    (c) Relevant factors; findings.
24        (1) In determining whether to grant a specific remedy,
25    other than payment of support, the court shall consider
26    relevant factors, including but not limited to the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2217 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    following:
2            (i) the nature, frequency, severity, pattern and
3        consequences of the respondent's past abuse, neglect
4        or exploitation of the petitioner or any family or
5        household member, including the concealment of his or
6        her location in order to evade service of process or
7        notice, and the likelihood of danger of future abuse,
8        neglect, or exploitation to petitioner or any member of
9        petitioner's or respondent's family or household; and
10            (ii) the danger that any minor child will be abused
11        or neglected or improperly relocated from the
12        jurisdiction, improperly concealed within the State or
13        improperly separated from the child's primary
14        caretaker.
15        (2) In comparing relative hardships resulting to the
16    parties from loss of possession of the family home, the
17    court shall consider relevant factors, including but not
18    limited to the following:
19            (i) availability, accessibility, cost, safety,
20        adequacy, location and other characteristics of
21        alternate housing for each party and any minor child or
22        dependent adult in the party's care;
23            (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
24            (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
25        and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
26        care, to family, school, church and community.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2218 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
2    (4) of this subsection, the court shall make its findings
3    in an official record or in writing, and shall at a minimum
4    set forth the following:
5            (i) That the court has considered the applicable
6        relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
7        this subsection.
8            (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
9        unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
10        or continued abuse.
11            (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
12        requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
13        other alleged abused persons.
14        (4) For purposes of issuing an ex parte emergency order
15    of protection, the court, as an alternative to or as a
16    supplement to making the findings described in paragraphs
17    (c)(3)(i) through (c)(3)(iii) of this subsection, may use

9    of Managers of an association may authorize a management
10    company to maintain the association's reserve funds in a

6    fidelity bond and directors and officers liability
7    coverage, the fidelity bond in the full amount of
8    association funds and association reserves that will be in
9    the custody of the association, and the directors and
10    officers liability coverage at a level as shall be
11    determined to be reasonable by the board of managers, if
12    not otherwise established by the declaration or by laws.
13        Until one year after September 21, 1985 (the effective
14    date of Public Act 84-722), if a condominium association
15    has reserves plus assessments in excess of $250,000 and

3    the maintenance, repair and replacement of the common
4    elements.
5        (k) Such restrictions on and requirements respecting
6    the use and maintenance of the units and the use of the
7    common elements, not set forth in the declaration, as are
8    designed to prevent unreasonable interference with the use
9    of their respective units and of the common elements by the

16    this section shall always be embodied in the bylaws.
17        (n)(i) The provisions of this Act, the declaration,
18    bylaws, other condominium instruments, and rules and
19    regulations that relate to the use of the individual unit
20    or the common elements shall be applicable to any person
21    leasing a unit and shall be deemed to be incorporated in
22    any lease executed or renewed on or after August 30, 1984
23    (the effective date of Public Act 83-1271).
24        (ii) With regard to any lease entered into subsequent

1    signed lease to the board or if the lease is oral, a
2    memorandum of the lease, not later than the date of
3    occupancy or 10 days after the lease is signed, whichever
4    occurs first. In addition to any other remedies, by filing
5    an action jointly against the tenant and the unit owner, an
6    association may seek to enjoin a tenant from occupying a
7    unit or seek to evict a tenant under the provisions of
8    Article IX of the Code of Civil Procedure for failure of
9    the lessor-owner to comply with the leasing requirements
10    prescribed by this Section or by the declaration, bylaws,
11    and rules and regulations. The board of managers may
12    proceed directly against a tenant, at law or in equity, or
13    under the provisions of Article IX of the Code of Civil
14    Procedure, for any other breach by tenant of any covenants,
15    rules, regulations or bylaws.
16        (o) The association shall have no authority to forbear
17    the payment of assessments by any unit owner.
18        (p) That when 30% or fewer of the units, by number,
19    possess over 50% in the aggregate of the votes in the
20    association, any percentage vote of members specified
21    herein or in the condominium instruments shall require the
22    specified percentage by number of units rather than by
23    percentage of interest in the common elements allocated to
24    units that would otherwise be applicable and garage units
25    or storage units, or both, shall have, in total, no more
26    votes than their aggregate percentage of ownership in the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2251 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    common elements; this shall mean that if garage units or
2    storage units, or both, are to be given a vote, or portion
3    of a vote, that the association must add the total number
4    of votes cast of garage units, storage units, or both, and
5    divide the total by the number of garage units, storage
6    units, or both, and multiply by the aggregate percentage of
7    ownership of garage units and storage units to determine
8    the vote, or portion of a vote, that garage units or
9    storage units, or both, have. For purposes of this
10    subsection (p), when making a determination of whether 30%
11    or fewer of the units, by number, possess over 50% in the
12    aggregate of the votes in the association, a unit shall not
13    include a garage unit or a storage unit.
14        (q) That a unit owner may not assign, delegate,
15    transfer, surrender, or avoid the duties,
16    responsibilities, and liabilities of a unit owner under
17    this Act, the condominium instruments, or the rules and
18    regulations of the Association; and that such an attempted
19    assignment, delegation, transfer, surrender, or avoidance
20    shall be deemed void.
21    The provisions of this Section are applicable to all
22condominium instruments recorded under this Act. Any portion of
23a condominium instrument which contains provisions contrary to
24these provisions shall be void as against public policy and
25ineffective. Any such instrument which fails to contain the
26provisions required by this Section shall be deemed to

5    Sec. 27. Amendments.
6    (a) If there is any unit owner other than the developer,
7and unless otherwise provided in this Act, the condominium
8instruments shall be amended only as follows:
9        (i) upon the affirmative vote of 2/3 of those voting or
10    upon the majority specified by the condominium
11    instruments, provided that in no event shall the
12    condominium instruments require more than a three-quarters
13    vote of all unit owners; and
14        (ii) with the approval of, or notice to, any mortgagees
15    or other lienholders of record, if required under the
16    provisions of the condominium instruments. If the
17    condominium instruments require approval of any mortgagee
18    or lienholder of record and the mortgagee or lienholder of
19    record receives a request to approve or consent to the
20    amendment to the condominium instruments, the mortgagee or
21    lienholder of record is deemed to have approved or
22    consented to the request unless the mortgagee or lienholder
23    of record delivers a negative response to the requesting
24    party within 60 days after the mailing of the request. A
25    request to approve or consent to an amendment to the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2258 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    condominium instruments that is required to be sent to a
2    mortgagee or lienholder of record shall be sent by
3    certified mail.
4    (b)(1) If there is an omission, error, or inconsistency in
5a condominium instrument, such that a provision of a
6condominium instrument does not conform to this Act or to
7another applicable statute, the association may correct the
8omission, error, or inconsistency to conform the condominium
9instrument to this Act or to another applicable statute by an
10amendment adopted by vote of two-thirds of the Board of
11Managers, without a unit owner vote. A provision in a
12condominium instrument requiring or allowing unit owners,
13mortgagees, or other lienholders of record to vote to approve
14an amendment to a condominium instrument, or for the mortgagees
15or other lienholders of record to be given notice of an
16amendment to a condominium instrument, is not applicable to an
17amendment to the extent that the amendment corrects an
18omission, error, or inconsistency to conform the condominium
19instrument to this Act or to another applicable statute.
20    (2) If through a scrivener's error, a unit has not been
21designated as owning an appropriate undivided share of the
22common elements or does not bear an appropriate share of the
23common expenses or that all the common expenses or all of the
24common elements in the condominium have not been distributed in
25the declaration, so that the sum total of the shares of common
26elements which have been distributed or the sum total of the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2259 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1shares of the common expenses fail to equal 100%, or if it
2appears that more than 100% of the common elements or common
3expenses have been distributed, the error may be corrected by
4operation of law by filing an amendment to the declaration
5approved by vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board of
6Managers or a majority vote of the unit owners at a meeting
7called for this purpose which proportionately adjusts all
8percentage interests so that the total is equal to 100% unless
9the condominium instruments specifically provide for a
10different procedure or different percentage vote by the owners
11of the units and the owners of mortgages thereon affected by
12modification being made in the undivided interest in the common
13elements, the number of votes in the unit owners association or
14the liability for common expenses appertaining to the unit.
15    (3) If an omission or error or a scrivener's error in the
16declaration, bylaws or other condominium instrument is
17corrected by vote of two-thirds of the members of the Board of
18Managers pursuant to the authority established in paragraph
19paragraphs (1) or (2) of this subsection (b) this, the Board
20upon written petition by unit owners with 20 percent of the
21votes of the association filed within 30 days of the Board
22action shall call a meeting of the unit owners within 30 days
23of the filing of the petition to consider the Board action.
24Unless a majority of the votes of the unit owners of the
25association are cast at the meeting to reject the action, it is
26ratified whether or not a quorum is present.

1    (4) The procedures for amendments set forth in this
2subsection (b) cannot be used if such an amendment would
3materially or adversely affect property rights of the unit
4owners unless the affected unit owners consent in writing. This
5Section does not restrict the powers of the association to
6otherwise amend the declaration, bylaws, or other condominium
7instruments, but authorizes a simple process of amendment
8requiring a lesser vote for the purpose of correcting defects,
9errors, or omissions when the property rights of the unit
10owners are not materially or adversely affected.
11    (5) If there is an omission or error in the declaration,
12bylaws, or other condominium instruments, which may not be
13corrected by an amendment procedure set forth in paragraphs (1)
14and (2) of this subsection (b) in the declaration then the
15Circuit Court in the County in which the condominium is located
16shall have jurisdiction to hear a petition of one or more of
17the unit owners thereon or of the association, to correct the
18error or omission, and the action may be a class action. The
19court may require that one or more methods of correcting the
20error or omission be submitted to the unit owners to determine
21the most acceptable correction. All unit owners in the
22association must be joined as parties to the action. Service of
23process on owners may be by publication, but the plaintiff
24shall furnish all unit owners not personally served with
25process with copies of the petition and final judgment of the
26court by certified mail return receipt requested, at their last

4authorizing the developer to amend a condominium instrument
5prior to the latest date on which the initial membership
6meeting of the unit owners must be held, whether or not it has
7actually been held, to bring the instrument into compliance

15            have been abandoned or the franchisee has failed to
16            conduct customary sales and service operations
17            during customary business hours for at least 7
18            consecutive business days unless such closing is

4        to extend or renew and shall state that the dealer has
5        only 30 days from receipt of the notice to file with

17        franchisee at least 60 days before the date of
18        expiration of the franchise or selling agreement. Each
19        notice of proposed action shall include a detailed
20        statement setting forth the specific grounds for the
21        proposed action and shall state that the dealer has
22        only 30 days from receipt of the notice to file with
23        the Motor Vehicle Review Board a written protest
24        against the proposed action.
25            (C) Within 30 days from receipt of the notice under
26        subparagraphs (A) and (B), the franchisee may file with

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2310 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        the Board a written protest against the proposed
2        action.
3            When the protest has been timely filed, the Board
4        shall enter an order, fixing a date (within 60 days of
5        the date of the order), time, and place of a hearing on
6        the protest required under Sections 12 and 29 of this
7        Act, and send by certified mail, return receipt
8        requested, a copy of the order to the manufacturer that
9        filed the notice of intention of the proposed action
10        and to the protesting dealer or franchisee.

12        establish that good cause exists to cancel or
13        terminate, or fail to extend or renew the franchise or
14        selling agreement of a motor vehicle dealer or
15        franchisee, and to change substantially or modify the
16        sales and service obligations or capital requirements
17        of a motor vehicle dealer as a condition to extending
18        or renewing the existing franchise or selling
19        agreement. The determination whether good cause exists
20        to cancel, terminate, or refuse to renew or extend the
21        franchise or selling agreement, or to change or modify
22        the obligations of the dealer as a condition to offer
23        renewal, replacement, or succession shall be made by
24        the Board under subsection (d) of Section 12 of this
25        Act.

HB5447 Engrossed- 2311 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        provisions of a franchise or selling agreement, the
2        following shall not constitute good cause for
3        cancelling or terminating or failing to extend or renew
4        the franchise or selling agreement: (i) the change of
5        ownership or executive management of the franchisee's
6        dealership; or (ii) the fact that the franchisee or
7        owner of an interest in the franchise owns, has an
8        investment in, participates in the management of, or
9        holds a license for the sale of the same or any other
10        line make of new motor vehicles.
11            (E) The manufacturer may not cancel or terminate,
12        or fail to extend or renew a franchise or selling
13        agreement or change or modify the obligations of the
14        franchisee as a condition to offering a renewal,
15        replacement, or succeeding franchise or selling
16        agreement before the hearing process is concluded as
17        prescribed by this Act, and thereafter, if the Board
18        determines that the manufacturer has failed to meet its
19        burden of proof and that good cause does not exist to
20        allow the proposed action;
21        (7) notwithstanding the terms of any franchise
22    agreement, to fail to indemnify and hold harmless its
23    franchised dealers against any judgment or settlement for

3    but not limited to, strict liability, negligence,
4    misrepresentation, warranty (express or implied), or
5    rescission of the sale as defined in Section 2-608 of the
6    Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent that the judgment or
7    settlement relates to the alleged defective or negligent
8    manufacture, assembly or design of new motor vehicles,
9    parts or accessories or other functions by the
10    manufacturer, beyond the control of the dealer; provided
11    that, in order to provide an adequate defense, the
12    manufacturer receives notice of the filing of a complaint,
13    claim, or lawsuit within 60 days after the filing;
14        (8) to require or otherwise coerce a motor vehicle
15    dealer to underutilize the motor vehicle dealer's
16    facilities by requiring or otherwise coercing the motor
17    vehicle dealer to exclude or remove from the motor vehicle
18    dealer's facilities operations for selling or servicing of
19    any vehicles for which the motor vehicle dealer has a
20    franchise agreement with another manufacturer,
21    distributor, wholesaler, distribution branch or division,
22    or officer, agent, or other representative thereof;
23    provided, however, that, in light of all existing
24    circumstances, (i) the motor vehicle dealer maintains a
25    reasonable line of credit for each make or line of new
26    motor vehicle, (ii) the new motor vehicle dealer remains in

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2313 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    compliance with any reasonable facilities requirements of
2    the manufacturer, (iii) no change is made in the principal
3    management of the new motor vehicle dealer, and (iv) the
4    addition of the make or line of new motor vehicles would be
5    reasonable. The reasonable facilities requirement set
6    forth in item (ii) of subsection (d)(8) shall not include
7    any requirement that a franchisee establish or maintain
8    exclusive facilities, personnel, or display space. Any
9    decision by a motor vehicle dealer to sell additional makes
10    or lines at the motor vehicle dealer's facility shall be
11    presumed to be reasonable, and the manufacturer shall have
12    the burden to overcome that presumption. A motor vehicle
13    dealer must provide a written notification of its intent to
14    add a make or line of new motor vehicles to the
15    manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not respond to the
16    motor vehicle dealer, in writing, objecting to the addition
17    of the make or line within 60 days after the date that the
18    motor vehicle dealer sends the written notification, then
19    the manufacturer shall be deemed to have approved the
20    addition of the make or line;
21        (9) to use or consider the performance of a motor
22    vehicle dealer relating to the sale of the manufacturer's,
23    distributor's, or wholesaler's vehicles or the motor

1    vehicles in determining:
2            (A) the motor vehicle dealer's eligibility to
3        purchase program, certified, or other used motor
4        vehicles from the manufacturer, distributor, or
5        wholesaler;
6            (B) the volume, type, or model of program,
7        certified, or other used motor vehicles that a motor
8        vehicle dealer is eligible to purchase from the
9        manufacturer, distributor, or wholesaler;
10            (C) the price of any program, certified, or other
11        used motor vehicle that the dealer is eligible to
12        purchase from the manufacturer, distributor, or
13        wholesaler; or
14            (D) the availability or amount of any discount,
15        credit, rebate, or sales incentive that the dealer is
16        eligible to receive from the manufacturer,
17        distributor, or wholesaler for the purchase of any
18        program, certified, or other used motor vehicle
19        offered for sale by the manufacturer, distributor, or
20        wholesaler;
21        (10) to take any adverse action against a dealer
22    pursuant to an export or sale-for-resale prohibition
23    because the dealer sold or leased a vehicle to a customer
24    who either exported the vehicle to a foreign country or
25    resold the vehicle in violation of the prohibition, unless
26    the export or sale-for-resale prohibition policy was

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2315 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    provided to the dealer in writing either electronically or
2    on paper, prior to the sale or lease, and the dealer knew
3    or reasonably should have known of the customer's intent to
4    export or resell the vehicle in violation of the
5    prohibition at the time of the sale or lease. If the dealer
6    causes the vehicle to be registered and titled in this or
7    any other state, and collects or causes to be collected any
8    applicable sales or use tax to this State, a rebuttable
9    presumption is established that the dealer did not have
10    reason to know of the customer's intent to resell the
11    vehicle;
12        (11) to coerce or require any dealer to construct
13    improvements to his or her facilities or to install new
14    signs or other franchiser image elements that replace or
15    substantially alter those improvements, signs, or
16    franchiser image elements completed within the past 10
17    years that were required and approved by the manufacturer
18    or one of its affiliates. The 10-year period under this
19    paragraph (11) begins to run for a dealer, including that
20    dealer's successors and assigns, on the date that the
21    manufacturer gives final written approval of the facility
22    improvements or installation of signs or other franchiser
23    image elements or the date that the dealer receives a
24    certificate of occupancy, whichever is later. For the
25    purpose of this paragraph (11), the term "substantially
26    alter" does not include routine maintenance, including,

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2316 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    but not limited to, interior painting, that is reasonably
2    necessary to keep a dealer facility in attractive
3    condition; or
4        (12) to require a dealer to purchase goods or services
5    to make improvements to the dealer's facilities from a
6    vendor selected, identified, or designated by a
7    manufacturer or one of its affiliates by agreement,
8    program, incentive provision, or otherwise without making
9    available to the dealer the option to obtain the goods or
10    services of substantially similar quality and overall
11    design from a vendor chosen by the dealer and approved by
12    the manufacturer; however, approval by the manufacturer
13    shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the dealer's option
14    to select a vendor shall not be available if the
15    manufacturer provides substantial reimbursement for the
16    goods or services offered. "Substantial reimbursement"
17    means an amount equal to or greater than the cost savings
18    that would result if the dealer were to utilize a vendor of
19    the dealer's own selection instead of using the vendor
20    identified by the manufacturer. For the purpose of this
21    paragraph (12), the term "goods" does not include movable
22    displays, brochures, and promotional materials containing
23    material subject to the intellectual property rights of a
24    manufacturer. If signs, other than signs containing the
25    manufacturer's brand or logo or free-standing signs that
26    are not directly attached to a building, or other

3    or designated by the manufacturer, the dealer has the right
4    to purchase the signs or other franchiser image or design
5    elements or trade dress of substantially similar quality
6    and design from a vendor selected by the dealer if the
7    signs, franchiser image or design elements, or trade dress
8    are approved by the manufacturer. Approval by the
9    manufacturer shall not be unreasonably withheld. This
10    paragraph (12) shall not be construed to allow a dealer or
11    vendor to impair, infringe upon, or eliminate, directly or
12    indirectly, the intellectual property rights of the
13    manufacturer, including, but not limited to, the
14    manufacturer's intellectual property rights in any
15    trademarks or trade dress, or other intellectual property
16    interests owned or controlled by the manufacturer. This
17    paragraph (12) shall not be construed to permit a dealer to
18    erect or maintain signs that do not conform to the
19    manufacturer's intellectual property rights or trademark
20    or trade dress usage guidelines.
21    (e) It shall be deemed a violation for a manufacturer, a
22distributor, a wholesaler, a distributor branch or division or
23officer, agent or other representative thereof:
24        (1) to resort to or use any false or misleading
25    advertisement in connection with his business as such

3        (2) to offer to sell or lease, or to sell or lease, any
4    new motor vehicle to any motor vehicle dealer at a lower
5    actual price therefor than the actual price offered to any
6    other motor vehicle dealer for the same model vehicle
7    similarly equipped or to utilize any device including, but
8    not limited to, sales promotion plans or programs which
9    result in such lesser actual price or fail to make
10    available to any motor vehicle dealer any preferential
11    pricing, incentive, rebate, finance rate, or low interest
12    loan program offered to competing motor vehicle dealers in
13    other contiguous states. However, the provisions of this
14    paragraph shall not apply to sales to a motor vehicle
15    dealer for resale to any unit of the United States
16    Government, the State or any of its political subdivisions;
17        (3) to offer to sell or lease, or to sell or lease, any
18    new motor vehicle to any person, except a wholesaler,
19    distributor or manufacturer's employees at a lower actual
20    price therefor than the actual price offered and charged to
21    a motor vehicle dealer for the same model vehicle similarly
22    equipped or to utilize any device which results in such
23    lesser actual price. However, the provisions of this
24    paragraph shall not apply to sales to a motor vehicle

26    Government, the State or any of its political subdivisions;

1        (4) to prevent or attempt to prevent by contract or
2    otherwise any motor vehicle dealer or franchisee from
3    changing the executive management control of the motor
4    vehicle dealer or franchisee unless the franchiser, having
5    the burden of proof, proves that such change of executive
6    management will result in executive management control by a
7    person or persons who are not of good moral character or
8    who do not meet the franchiser's existing and, with
9    consideration given to the volume of sales and service of
10    the dealership, uniformly applied minimum business
11    experience standards in the market area. However, where the
12    manufacturer rejects a proposed change in executive
13    management control, the manufacturer shall give written
14    notice of his reasons to the dealer within 60 days of
15    notice to the manufacturer by the dealer of the proposed
16    change. If the manufacturer does not send a letter to the
17    franchisee by certified mail, return receipt requested,
18    within 60 days from receipt by the manufacturer of the
19    proposed change, then the change of the executive
20    management control of the franchisee shall be deemed
21    accepted as proposed by the franchisee, and the
22    manufacturer shall give immediate effect to such change;
23        (5) to prevent or attempt to prevent by contract or
24    otherwise any motor vehicle dealer from establishing or
25    changing the capital structure of his dealership or the
26    means by or through which he finances the operation

1    thereof; provided the dealer meets any reasonable capital
2    standards agreed to between the dealer and the
3    manufacturer, distributor or wholesaler, who may require
4    that the sources, method and manner by which the dealer
5    finances or intends to finance its operation, equipment or
6    facilities be fully disclosed;
7        (6) to refuse to give effect to or prevent or attempt
8    to prevent by contract or otherwise any motor vehicle
9    dealer or any officer, partner or stockholder of any motor
10    vehicle dealer from selling or transferring any part of the
11    interest of any of them to any other person or persons or
12    party or parties unless such sale or transfer is to a
13    transferee who would not otherwise qualify for a new motor
14    vehicle dealers license under the Illinois Vehicle Code or
15    unless the franchiser, having the burden of proof, proves
16    that such sale or transfer is to a person or party who is
17    not of good moral character or does not meet the
18    franchiser's existing and reasonable capital standards
19    and, with consideration given to the volume of sales and
20    service of the dealership, uniformly applied minimum
21    business experience standards in the market area. However,
22    nothing herein shall be construed to prevent a franchiser
23    from implementing affirmative action programs providing
24    business opportunities for minorities or from complying
25    with applicable federal, State or local law:
26            (A) If the manufacturer intends to refuse to

3        the completed application forms generally utilized by
4        a manufacturer to conduct its review and a copy of all
5        agreements regarding the proposed transfer, send a
6        letter by certified mail, return receipt requested,
7        advising the franchisee of any refusal to approve the
8        sale or transfer of all or part of the interest and
9        shall state that the dealer only has 30 days from the
10        receipt of the notice to file with the Motor Vehicle
11        Review Board a written protest against the proposed
12        action. The notice shall set forth specific criteria
13        used to evaluate the prospective transferee and the
14        grounds for refusing to approve the sale or transfer to
15        that transferee. Within 30 days from the franchisee's
16        receipt of the manufacturer's notice, the franchisee
17        may file with the Board a written protest against the
18        proposed action.
19            When a protest has been timely filed, the Board
20        shall enter an order, fixing the date (within 60 days
21        of the date of such order), time, and place of a
22        hearing on the protest, required under Sections 12 and
23        29 of this Act, and send by certified mail, return

1            The manufacturer shall have the burden of proof to
2        establish that good cause exists to refuse to approve
3        the sale or transfer to the transferee. The
4        determination whether good cause exists to refuse to
5        approve the sale or transfer shall be made by the Board
6        under subdivisions (6)(B). The manufacturer shall not
7        refuse to approve the sale or transfer by a dealer or
8        an officer, partner, or stockholder of a franchise or
9        any part of the interest to any person or persons
10        before the hearing process is concluded as prescribed
11        by this Act, and thereafter if the Board determines
12        that the manufacturer has failed to meet its burden of
13        proof and that good cause does not exist to refuse to
14        approve the sale or transfer to the transferee.
15            (B) Good cause to refuse to approve such sale or
16        transfer under this Section is established when such
17        sale or transfer is to a transferee who would not
18        otherwise qualify for a new motor vehicle dealers
19        license under the Illinois Vehicle Code or such sale or
20        transfer is to a person or party who is not of good
21        moral character or does not meet the franchiser's
22        existing and reasonable capital standards and, with
23        consideration given to the volume of sales and service
24        of the dealership, uniformly applied minimum business

2    the motor vehicle dealer does business, on account of or in

8    market area of an existing franchise of the same line make
9    or to relocate an existing motor vehicle dealership within
10    or into a relevant market area of an existing franchise of

12    grant such an additional franchise to an independent person
13    in a bona fide relationship in which such person is
14    prepared to make a significant investment subject to loss
15    in such a dealership, or if the manufacturer wishes to
16    relocate an existing motor vehicle dealership, then the
17    manufacturer shall send a letter by certified mail, return
18    receipt requested, to each existing dealer or dealers of
19    the same line make whose relevant market area includes the
20    proposed location of the additional or relocated franchise
21    at least 60 days before the manufacturer grants an
22    additional franchise or relocates an existing franchise of

6    franchise within 30 days from the date the notice was
7    received by the existing franchisee of the same line make
8    or any person entitled to receive such notice, the
9    franchisee or other person may file with the Board a
10    written protest against the grant or establishment of the

12        When a protest has been timely filed, the Board shall

2        as its predecessor, or within 2 miles of such location,
3        or the relocation of an existing dealer or franchise
4        within 2 miles of the relocating dealer's or
5        franchisee's existing location, shall not be construed
6        as a grant, establishment or the entering into of an
7        additional franchise or selling agreement, or a
8        relocation of an existing franchise. The reopening of a
9        motor vehicle dealership that has not been in operation
10        for 18 months or more shall be deemed the grant of an
11        additional franchise or selling agreement.
12            C. This Section does not apply to the relocation of
13        an existing dealership or franchise in a county having
14        a population of more than 300,000 persons when the new
15        location is within the dealer's current relevant
16        market area, provided the new location is more than 7
17        miles from the nearest dealer of the same line make.
18        This Section does not apply to the relocation of an
19        existing dealership or franchise in a county having a
20        population of less than 300,000 persons when the new
21        location is within the dealer's current relevant
22        market area, provided the new location is more than 12
23        miles from the nearest dealer of the same line make. A
24        dealer that would be farther away from the new location
25        of an existing dealership or franchise of the same line
26        make after a relocation may not file a written protest

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2327 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        against the relocation with the Motor Vehicle Review
2        Board.
3            D. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
4        prevent a franchiser from implementing affirmative
5        action programs providing business opportunities for
6        minorities or from complying with applicable federal,
7        State or local law;
8        (9) to require a motor vehicle dealer to assent to a
9    release, assignment, novation, waiver or estoppel which
10    would relieve any person from liability imposed by this
11    Act;
12        (10) to prevent or refuse to give effect to the
13    succession to the ownership or management control of a
14    dealership by any legatee under the will of a dealer or to
15    an heir under the laws of descent and distribution of this
16    State unless the franchisee has designated a successor to
17    the ownership or management control under the succession
18    provisions of the franchise. Unless the franchiser, having
19    the burden of proof, proves that the successor is a person
20    who is not of good moral character or does not meet the
21    franchiser's existing and reasonable capital standards
22    and, with consideration given to the volume of sales and
23    service of the dealership, uniformly applied minimum
24    business experience standards in the market area, any
25    designated successor of a dealer or franchisee may succeed
26    to the ownership or management control of a dealership

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2328 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    under the existing franchise if:
2                (i) The designated successor gives the
3            franchiser written notice by certified mail,
4            return receipt requested, of his or her intention
5            to succeed to the ownership of the dealer within 60
6            days of the dealer's death or incapacity; and
7                (ii) The designated successor agrees to be
8            bound by all the terms and conditions of the
9            existing franchise.
10        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the motor
11    vehicle dealer or franchisee and manufacturer have duly
12    executed an agreement concerning succession rights prior
13    to the dealer's death or incapacitation, the agreement
14    shall be observed.
15            (A) If the franchiser intends to refuse to honor
16        the successor to the ownership of a deceased or
17        incapacitated dealer or franchisee under an existing
18        franchise agreement, the franchiser shall send a
19        letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, to
20        the designated successor within 60 days from receipt of
21        a proposal advising of its intent to refuse to honor
22        the succession and to discontinue the existing
23        franchise agreement and shall state that the
24        designated successor only has 30 days from the receipt
25        of the notice to file with the Motor Vehicle Review
26        Board a written protest against the proposed action.

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2329 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        The notice shall set forth the specific grounds for the
2        refusal to honor the succession and discontinue the
3        existing franchise agreement.
4            If notice of refusal is not timely served upon the
5        designated successor, the franchise agreement shall
6        continue in effect subject to termination only as
7        otherwise permitted by paragraph (6) of subsection (d)
8        of Section 4 of this Act.
9            Within 30 days from the date the notice was
10        received by the designated successor or any other
11        person entitled to notice, the designee or other person
12        may file with the Board a written protest against the
13        proposed action.
14            When a protest has been timely filed, the Board
15        shall enter an order, fixing a date (within 60 days of
16        the date of the order), time, and place of a hearing on
17        the protest, required under Sections 12 and 29 of this
18        Act, and send by certified mail, return receipt
19        requested, a copy of the order to the franchiser that
20        filed the notice of intention of the proposed action
21        and to the protesting designee or such other person.
22            The manufacturer shall have the burden of proof to
23        establish that good cause exists to refuse to honor the
24        succession and discontinue the existing franchise
25        agreement. The determination whether good cause exists
26        to refuse to honor the succession shall be made by the

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2330 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1        Board under subdivision (B) of this paragraph (10). The
2        manufacturer shall not refuse to honor the succession
3        or discontinue the existing franchise agreement before
4        the hearing process is concluded as prescribed by this
5        Act, and thereafter if the Board determines that it has
6        failed to meet its burden of proof and that good cause
7        does not exist to refuse to honor the succession and
8        discontinue the existing franchise agreement.
9            (B) No manufacturer shall impose any conditions
10        upon honoring the succession and continuing the
11        existing franchise agreement with the designated
12        successor other than that the franchisee has
13        designated a successor to the ownership or management
14        control under the succession provisions of the
15        franchise, or that the designated successor is of good
16        moral character or meets the reasonable capital
17        standards and, with consideration given to the volume
18        of sales and service of the dealership, uniformly
19        applied minimum business experience standards in the
20        market area;
21        (11) to prevent or refuse to approve a proposal to
22    establish a successor franchise at a location previously
23    approved by the franchiser when submitted with the
24    voluntary termination by the existing franchisee unless
25    the successor franchisee would not otherwise qualify for a
26    new motor vehicle dealer's license under the Illinois

 

 

HB5447 Engrossed- 2331 -LRB100 16294 AMC 31417 b

1    Vehicle Code or unless the franchiser, having the burden of
2    proof, proves that such proposed successor is not of good
3    moral character or does not meet the franchiser's existing
4    and reasonable capital standards and, with consideration
5    given to the volume of sales and service of the dealership,
6    uniformly applied minimum business experience standards in
7    the market area. However, when such a rejection of a
8    proposal is made, the manufacturer shall give written
9    notice of its reasons to the franchisee within 60 days of
10    receipt by the manufacturer of the proposal. However,
11    nothing herein shall be construed to prevent a franchiser
12    from implementing affirmative action programs providing
13    business opportunities for minorities, or from complying
14    with applicable federal, State or local law;
15        (12) to prevent or refuse to grant a franchise to a
16    person because such person owns, has investment in or
17    participates in the management of or holds a franchise for
18    the sale of another make or line of motor vehicles within 7
19    miles of the proposed franchise location in a county having
20    a population of more than 300,000 persons, or within 12
21    miles of the proposed franchise location in a county having
22    a population of less than 300,000 persons;
23        (13) to prevent or attempt to prevent any new motor
24    vehicle dealer from establishing any additional motor
25    vehicle dealership or other facility limited to the sale of
26    factory repurchase vehicles or late model vehicles or

1    otherwise offering for sale factory repurchase vehicles of
2    the same line make at an existing franchise by failing to
3    make available any contract, agreement or other
4    arrangement which is made available or otherwise offered to
5    any person; or
6        (14) to exercise a right of first refusal or other
7    right to acquire a franchise from a dealer, unless the
8    manufacturer:
9            (A) notifies the dealer in writing that it intends
10        to exercise its right to acquire the franchise not
11        later than 60 days after the manufacturer's or
12        distributor's receipt of a notice of the proposed
13        transfer from the dealer and all information and
14        documents reasonably and customarily required by the
15        manufacturer or distributor supporting the proposed
16        transfer;
17            (B) pays to the dealer the same or greater
18        consideration as the dealer has contracted to receive
19        in connection with the proposed transfer or sale of all
20        or substantially all of the dealership assets, stock,
21        or other ownership interest, including the purchase or
22        lease of all real property, leasehold, or improvements
23        related to the transfer or sale of the dealership. Upon
24        exercise of the right of first refusal or such other
25        right, the manufacturer or distributor shall have the
26        right to assign the lease or to convey the real

6        right of first refusal or other right to acquire the
7        franchise;
8            (D) reimburses the proposed transferee for all
9        reasonable expenses incurred in evaluating,
10        investigating, and negotiating the transfer of the
11        dealership prior to the manufacturer's or

13        other right to acquire the dealership. For purposes of
14        this paragraph, "reasonable expenses" includes the
15        usual and customary legal and accounting fees charged
16        for similar work, as well as expenses associated with
17        the evaluation and investigation of any real property
18        on which the dealership is operated. The proposed
19        transferee shall submit an itemized list of its
20        expenses to the manufacturer or distributor not later
21        than 30 days after the manufacturer's or distributor's
22        exercise of the right of first refusal or other right
23        to acquire the motor vehicle franchise. The
24        manufacturer or distributor shall reimburse the
25        proposed transferee for its expenses not later than 90
26        days after receipt of the itemized list. A manufacturer

5        Except as provided in this paragraph (14), neither the
6    selling dealer nor the manufacturer or distributor shall

9    refusal.
10        For the purpose of this paragraph, "proposed
11    transferee" means the person to whom the franchise would
12    have been transferred to, or was proposed to be transferred

6under which employers shall enroll their employees in into the
7Program. The timeline shall include the date by which an
8employer must begin enrollment of its employees in into the
9Program and the date by which enrollment must be complete. The
10Board shall adopt the implementation timeline at a public

7employers' use of automatic enrollment for employees is subject
8to final rules from the United States Department of Labor.
9Utilization of automatic enrollment by small employers may be
10allowed only if it does not create employer liability under the
11federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
12    (c) Enrollees shall have the ability to select a
13contribution level into the Fund. This level may be expressed
14as a percentage of wages or as a dollar amount up to the
15deductible amount for the enrollee's taxable year under Section
16219(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code. Enrollees may change
17their contribution level at any time, subject to rules

19contribution level using the form described in subsection (c)
20of Section 55 of this Act, then he or she shall contribute the
21default contribution rate of his or her wages to the Program,
22provided that such contributions shall not cause the enrollee's

25219(b)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code.
26    (d) Enrollees may select an investment option from the

4    (h) An employee may terminate his or her participation in
5the Program at any time in a manner prescribed by the Board.
6    (i) The Board shall establish and maintain an Internet
7website designed to assist employers in identifying private
8sector providers of retirement arrangements that can be set up
9by the employer rather than allowing employee participation in
10the Program under this Act; however, the Board shall only
11establish and maintain an Internet website under this
12subsection if there is sufficient interest in such an Internet
13website by private sector providers and if the private sector
14providers furnish the funding necessary to establish and
15maintain the Internet website. The Board must provide public
16notice of the availability of and the process for inclusion on
