1    AN ACT to revise the law by combining multiple enactments
2and making technical corrections.
 
3    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4represented in the General Assembly:
 
5    Section 1. Nature of this Act.
6    (a) This Act may be cited as the First 2019 General
7Revisory Act.
8    (b) This Act is not intended to make any substantive change
9in the law. It reconciles conflicts that have arisen from
10multiple amendments and enactments and makes technical
11corrections and revisions in the law.
12    This Act revises and, where appropriate, renumbers certain
13Sections that have been added or amended by more than one
14Public Act. In certain cases in which a repealed Act or Section
15has been replaced with a successor law, this Act may
16incorporate amendments to the repealed Act or Section into the
17successor law. This Act also corrects errors, revises
18cross-references, and deletes obsolete text.
19    (c) In this Act, the reference at the end of each amended
20Section indicates the sources in the Session Laws of Illinois
21that were used in the preparation of the text of that Section.
22The text of the Section included in this Act is intended to
23include the different versions of the Section found in the
24Public Acts included in the list of sources, but may not

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1include other versions of the Section to be found in Public
2Acts not included in the list of sources. The list of sources
3is not a part of the text of the Section.
4    (d) Public Acts 100-534 through 100-1177 were considered in
5the preparation of the combining revisories included in this
6Act. Many of those combining revisories contain no striking or
7underscoring because no additional changes are being made in
8the material that is being combined.

6    Section 15. The Freedom of Information Act is amended by
7changing Sections 3 and 7.5 as follows:
 
8    (5 ILCS 140/3)  (from Ch. 116, par. 203)
9    Sec. 3. (a) Each public body shall make available to any
10person for inspection or copying all public records, except as
11otherwise provided in Sections 7 and 8.5 of this Act.
12Notwithstanding any other law, a public body may not grant to
13any person or entity, whether by contract, license, or
14otherwise, the exclusive right to access and disseminate any
15public record as defined in this Act.
16    (b) Subject to the fee provisions of Section 6 of this Act,
17each public body shall promptly provide, to any person who
18submits a request, a copy of any public record required to be
19disclosed by subsection (a) of this Section and shall certify
20such copy if so requested.
21    (c) Requests for inspection or copies shall be made in
22writing and directed to the public body. Written requests may
23be submitted to a public body via personal delivery, mail,
24telefax, or other means available to the public body. A public

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 15 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1body may honor oral requests for inspection or copying. A
2public body may not require that a request be submitted on a
3standard form or require the requester to specify the purpose
4for a request, except to determine whether the records are
5requested for a commercial purpose or whether to grant a
6request for a fee waiver. All requests for inspection and
7copying received by a public body shall immediately be
8forwarded to its Freedom of Information officer or designee.
9    (d) Each public body shall, promptly, either comply with or
10deny a request for public records within 5 business days after
11its receipt of the request, unless the time for response is
12properly extended under subsection (e) of this Section. Denial
13shall be in writing as provided in Section 9 of this Act.
14Failure to comply with a written request, extend the time for
15response, or deny a request within 5 business days after its
16receipt shall be considered a denial of the request. A public
17body that fails to respond to a request within the requisite
18periods in this Section but thereafter provides the requester
19with copies of the requested public records may not impose a
20fee for such copies. A public body that fails to respond to a
21request received may not treat the request as unduly burdensome
22under subsection (g).
23    (e) The time for response under this Section may be
24extended by the public body for not more than 5 business days
25from the original due date for any of the following reasons:
26        (i) the requested records are stored in whole or in

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 16 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    part at other locations than the office having charge of
2    the requested records;
3        (ii) the request requires the collection of a
4    substantial number of specified records;
5        (iii) the request is couched in categorical terms and
6    requires an extensive search for the records responsive to
7    it;
8        (iv) the requested records have not been located in the
9    course of routine search and additional efforts are being
10    made to locate them;
11        (v) the requested records require examination and
12    evaluation by personnel having the necessary competence
13    and discretion to determine if they are exempt from
14    disclosure under Section 7 of this Act or should be
15    revealed only with appropriate deletions;
16        (vi) the request for records cannot be complied with by
17    the public body within the time limits prescribed by
18    subsection (d) paragraph (c) of this Section without unduly
19    burdening or interfering with the operations of the public
20    body;
21        (vii) there is a need for consultation, which shall be
22    conducted with all practicable speed, with another public
23    body or among 2 two or more components of a public body
24    having a substantial interest in the determination or in
25    the subject matter of the request.
26    The person making a request and the public body may agree

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 17 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1in writing to extend the time for compliance for a period to be
2determined by the parties. If the requester and the public body
3agree to extend the period for compliance, a failure by the
4public body to comply with any previous deadlines shall not be
5treated as a denial of the request for the records.
6    (f) When additional time is required for any of the above
7reasons, the public body shall, within 5 business days after
8receipt of the request, notify the person making the request of
9the reasons for the extension and the date by which the
10response will be forthcoming. Failure to respond within the
11time permitted for extension shall be considered a denial of
12the request. A public body that fails to respond to a request
13within the time permitted for extension but thereafter provides
14the requester with copies of the requested public records may
15not impose a fee for those copies. A public body that requests
16an extension and subsequently fails to respond to the request
17may not treat the request as unduly burdensome under subsection
18(g).
19    (g) Requests calling for all records falling within a
20category shall be complied with unless compliance with the
21request would be unduly burdensome for the complying public
22body and there is no way to narrow the request and the burden
23on the public body outweighs the public interest in the
24information. Before invoking this exemption, the public body
25shall extend to the person making the request an opportunity to
26confer with it in an attempt to reduce the request to

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 18 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1manageable proportions. If any public body responds to a
2categorical request by stating that compliance would unduly
3burden its operation and the conditions described above are
4met, it shall do so in writing, specifying the reasons why it
5would be unduly burdensome and the extent to which compliance
6will so burden the operations of the public body. Such a
7response shall be treated as a denial of the request for
8information.
9    Repeated requests from the same person for the same records
10that are unchanged or identical to records previously provided
11or properly denied under this Act shall be deemed unduly
12burdensome under this provision.
13    (h) Each public body may promulgate rules and regulations
14in conformity with the provisions of this Section pertaining to
15the availability of records and procedures to be followed,
16including:
17        (i) the times and places where such records will be
18    made available, and
19        (ii) the persons from whom such records may be
20    obtained.
21    (i) The time periods for compliance or denial of a request
22to inspect or copy records set out in this Section shall not

6    (10 ILCS 5/24A-10)  (from Ch. 46, par. 24A-10)
7    Sec. 24A-10. (1) In an election jurisdiction which has
8adopted an electronic voting system, the election official in
9charge of the election shall select one of the 3 following
10procedures for receiving, counting, tallying, and return of the
11ballots:
12    (a) Two ballot boxes shall be provided for each polling
13place. The first ballot box is for the depositing of votes cast
14on the electronic voting system; and the second ballot box is
15for all votes cast on paper ballots, including any paper
16ballots required to be voted other than on the electronic
17voting system. Ballots deposited in the second ballot box shall
18be counted, tallied, and returned as is elsewhere provided in
19this Code "The Election Code," as amended, for the counting and
20handling of paper ballots. Immediately after the closing of the
21polls, the judges of election shall make out a slip indicating
22the number of persons who voted in the precinct at the
23election. Such slip shall be signed by all the judges of
24election and shall be inserted by them in the first ballot box.
25The judges of election shall thereupon immediately lock each

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 65 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1ballot box; provided, that if such box is not of a type which
2may be securely locked, such box shall be sealed with filament
3tape provided for such purpose which shall be wrapped around
4the box lengthwise and crosswise, at least twice each way, and
5in such manner that the seal completely covers the slot in the
6ballot box, and each of the judges shall sign such seal.
7Thereupon two of the judges of election, of different political
8parties, shall forthwith and by the most direct route transport
9both ballot boxes to the counting location designated by the
10county clerk or board of election commissioners.
11    Before the ballots of a precinct are fed to the electronic
12tabulating equipment, the first ballot box shall be opened at
13the central counting station by the two precinct transport
14judges. Upon opening a ballot box, such team shall first count
15the number of ballots in the box. If 2 or more are folded
16together so as to appear to have been cast by the same person,
17all of the ballots so folded together shall be marked and
18returned with the other ballots in the same condition, as near
19as may be, in which they were found when first opened, but
20shall not be counted. If the remaining ballots are found to
21exceed the number of persons voting in the precinct as shown by
22the slip signed by the judges of election, the ballots shall be
23replaced in the box, and the box closed and well shaken and
24again opened and one of the precinct transport judges shall
25publicly draw out so many ballots unopened as are equal to such
26excess.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 66 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    Such excess ballots shall be marked "Excess-Not Counted"
2and signed by the two precinct transport judges and shall be
3placed in the "After 7:00 p.m. Defective Ballots Envelope". The
4number of excess ballots shall be noted in the remarks section
5of the Certificate of Results. "Excess" ballots shall not be
6counted in the total of "defective" ballots.
7    The precinct transport judges shall then examine the
8remaining ballots for write-in votes and shall count and
9tabulate the write-in vote; or
10    (b) A single ballot box, for the deposit of all votes cast,
11shall be used. All ballots which are not to be tabulated on the
12electronic voting system shall be counted, tallied, and
13returned as elsewhere provided in this Code "The Election
14Code," as amended, for the counting and handling of paper
15ballots.
16    All ballots to be processed and tabulated with the
17electronic voting system shall be processed as follows:
18    Immediately after the closing of the polls, the precinct
19judges of election then shall open the ballot box and canvass
20the votes polled to determine that the number of ballots
21therein agree with the number of voters voting as shown by the
22applications for ballot or if the same do not agree the judges
23of election shall make such ballots agree with the applications
24for ballot in the manner provided by Section 17-18 of this
25Code. "The Election Code." The judges of election shall then
26examine all ballot cards and ballot card envelopes which are in

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 67 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1the ballot box to determine whether the ballot cards and ballot
2card envelopes bear the initials of a precinct judge of
3election. If any ballot card or ballot card envelope is not
4initialed, it shall be marked on the back "Defective,"
5initialed as to such label by all judges immediately under such
6word "Defective," and not counted, but placed in the envelope
7provided for that purpose labeled "Defective Ballots
8Envelope."
9    When an electronic voting system is used which utilizes a
10ballot card, before separating the ballot cards from their
11respective covering envelopes, the judges of election shall
12examine the ballot card envelopes for write-in votes. When the
13voter has voted a write-in vote, the judges of election shall
14compare the write-in vote with the votes on the ballot card to
15determine whether such write-in results in an overvote for any
16office. In case of an overvote for any office, the judges of
17election, consisting in each case of at least one judge of
18election of each of the two major political parties, shall make
19a true duplicate ballot of all votes on such ballot card except
20for the office which is overvoted, by using the ballot label
21booklet of the precinct and one of the marking devices of the
22precinct so as to transfer all votes of the voter except for
23the office overvoted, to an official ballot card of that kind
24used in the precinct at that election. The original ballot card
25and envelope upon which there is an overvote shall be clearly
26labeled "Overvoted Ballot", and each shall bear the same serial

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 68 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1number which shall be placed thereon by the judges of election,
2commencing with number 1 and continuing consecutively for the
3ballots of that kind in that precinct. The judges of election
4shall initial the "Duplicate Overvoted Ballot" ballot cards and
5shall place them in the box for return of the ballots. The
6"Overvoted Ballot" ballots and their envelopes shall be placed
7in the "Duplicate Ballots" envelope. Envelopes bearing
8write-in votes marked in the place designated therefor and
9bearing the initials of a precinct judge of election and not
10resulting in an overvote and otherwise complying with the
11election laws as to marking shall be counted, tallied, and
12their votes recorded on a tally sheet provided by the election
13official in charge of the election. The ballot cards and ballot
14card envelopes shall be separated and all except any defective
15or overvoted shall be placed separately in the box for return
16of the ballots. The judges of election shall examine the
17ballots and ballot cards to determine if any is damaged or
18defective so that it cannot be counted by the automatic
19tabulating equipment. If any ballot or ballot card is damaged
20or defective so that it cannot properly be counted by the
21automatic tabulating equipment, the judges of election,
22consisting in each case of at least one judge of election of
23each of the two major political parties, shall make a true
24duplicate ballot of all votes on such ballot card by using the
25ballot label booklet of the precinct and one of the marking
26devices of the precinct. The original ballot or ballot card and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 69 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1envelope shall be clearly labeled "Damaged Ballot" and the
2ballot or ballot card so produced "Duplicate Damaged Ballot,"
3and each shall bear the same number which shall be placed
4thereon by the judges of election, commencing with number 1 and
5continuing consecutively for the ballots of that kind in the
6precinct. The judges of election shall initial the "Duplicate
7Damaged Ballot" ballot or ballot cards, and shall place them in
8the box for return of the ballots. The "Damaged Ballot" ballots
9or ballot cards and their envelopes shall be placed in the
10"Duplicated Ballots" envelope. A slip indicating the number of
11voters voting in person shall be made out, signed by all judges
12of election, and inserted in the box for return of the ballots.
13The tally sheets recording the write-in votes shall be placed
14in this box. The judges of election thereupon immediately shall
15securely lock the ballot box or other suitable box furnished
16for return of the ballots by the election official in charge of
17the election; provided that if such box is not of a type which
18may be securely locked, such box shall be sealed with filament
19tape provided for such purpose which shall be wrapped around
20the box lengthwise and crosswise, at least twice each way. A
21separate adhesive seal label signed by each of the judges of
22election of the precinct shall be affixed to the box so as to
23cover any slot therein and to identify the box of the precinct;
24and if such box is sealed with filament tape as provided herein
25rather than locked, such tape shall be wrapped around the box
26as provided herein, but in such manner that the separate

1adhesive seal label affixed to the box and signed by the judges
2may not be removed without breaking the filament tape and
3disturbing the signature of the judges. Thereupon, 2 of the
4judges of election, of different major political parties,
5forthwith shall by the most direct route transport the box for
6return of the ballots and enclosed ballots and returns to the
7central counting location designated by the election official
8in charge of the election. If, however, because of the lack of
9adequate parking facilities at the central counting location or
10for any other reason, it is impossible or impracticable for the
11boxes from all the polling places to be delivered directly to
12the central counting location, the election official in charge
13of the election may designate some other location to which the
14boxes shall be delivered by the 2 precinct judges. While at
15such other location the boxes shall be in the care and custody
16of one or more teams, each consisting of 4 persons, 2 from each
17of the two major political parties, designated for such purpose
18by the election official in charge of elections from
19recommendations by the appropriate political party
20organizations. As soon as possible, the boxes shall be
21transported from such other location to the central counting
22location by one or more teams, each consisting of 4 persons, 2
23from each of the 2 major political parties, designated for such
24purpose by the election official in charge of elections from
25recommendations by the appropriate political party
26organizations.

2envelope each shall be securely sealed and the flap or end
3thereof of each signed by the precinct judges of election and
4returned to the central counting location with the box for
5return of the ballots, enclosed ballots and returns.
6    At the central counting location, a team of tally judges
7designated by the election official in charge of the election
8shall check the box returned containing the ballots to
9determine that all seals are intact, and thereupon shall open
10the box, check the voters' slip and compare the number of
11ballots so delivered against the total number of voters of the
12precinct who voted, remove the ballots or ballot cards and
13deliver them to the technicians operating the automatic

14impossible or impracticable for the boxes from all the polling
15places to be delivered directly to the central counting
16location, the election official in charge of the election may

19ballot; and, if the same do not agree, the tally judges shall
20make such ballots agree with the number of applications for
21ballot in the manner provided by Section 17-18 of this the
22Election Code. The tally judges shall then examine all ballot

8the automatic tabulating equipment. Any discrepancies between
9the number of ballots and total number of voters shall be noted
10on a sheet furnished for that purpose and signed by the tally
11judges.
12    (2) Regardless of which procedure described in subsection
13(1) of this Section is used, the judges of election designated
14to transport the ballots, properly signed and sealed as
15provided herein, shall ensure that the ballots are delivered to
16the central counting station no later than 12 hours after the

19election shall examine the ballots so transported and shall not
20accept ballots for tabulating which are not signed and sealed
21as provided in subsection (1) of this Section until the judges

2        the Department prior to the age of 18 and whose best
3        interest in the discretion of the Department would be
4        served by continuing that care, service and training
5        because of severe emotional disturbances, physical
6        disability, social adjustment or any combination
7        thereof, or because of the need to complete an
8        educational or vocational training program.

15        concurrent planning, as described in subsection (l-1)
16        of this Section so that permanency may occur at the
17        earliest opportunity. Consideration should be given so
18        that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
19        placement made is the best available placement to
20        provide permanency for the child;
21            (G) (blank);
22            (H) (blank); and
23            (I) placing and maintaining children in facilities

18abortions.
19    (c) The Department shall establish and maintain
20tax-supported child welfare services and extend and seek to
21improve voluntary services throughout the State, to the end
22that services and care shall be available on an equal basis
23throughout the State to children requiring such services.
24    (d) The Director may authorize advance disbursements for
25any new program initiative to any agency contracting with the
26Department. As a prerequisite for an advance disbursement, the

5disbursement shall be prorated over the life of the contract or
6the remaining months of the fiscal year, whichever is less, and
7the installment amount shall then be deducted from future
8bills. Advance disbursement authorizations for new initiatives

16    (e) (Blank).
17    (f) (Blank).
18    (g) The Department shall establish rules and regulations

6    Court Act of 1987 in accordance with the federal Adoption
7    Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980; and
8        (10) interstate services.
9    Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
10include provisions for training Department staff and the staff
11of Department grantees, through contracts with other agencies
12or resources, in screening techniques to identify substance use
13disorders, as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act,
14approved by the Department of Human Services, as a successor to
15the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, for the
16purpose of identifying children and adults who should be
17referred for an assessment at an organization appropriately
18licensed by the Department of Human Services for substance use
19disorder treatment.
20    (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
21program or facility within or available to the Department for a
22youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an
23adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
24youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
25individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.
26The plan may be developed within the Department or through

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 113 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is

19services it makes available to children or families or for
20which it refers children or families.
21    (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
22assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
23establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
24grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
25disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
26children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were youth

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 114 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
2assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
3available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
4dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
5been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
6died. The Department may continue to provide financial
7assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
8determined eligible for financial assistance under this
9subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the child's
10adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization of the
11new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
12parents. The Department may also provide categories of
13financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
14shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
15grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
16Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
174-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
18who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
19appointment of the guardian.
20    The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the needs
21of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in the
22annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
23allowed where the child requires special service but such costs
24may not exceed the amounts which similar services would cost
25the Department if it were to provide or secure them as guardian
26of the child.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 115 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 116 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 117 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1such child or family to services available from other agencies
2in the community, even if the report is determined to be
3unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
4are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
5reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of such
6services shall be voluntary. The Department may also provide
7services to any child or family after completion of a family
8assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as provided
9under the "differential response program" provided for in
10subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and Neglected
11Child Reporting Act.
12    The Department may, at its discretion except for those
13children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
14care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
15as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
16requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
17Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
18be committed to the Department by any court without the
19approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the
20effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
212017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
22Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
23adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
24committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
25less than 16 years of age committed to the Department under
26Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 118 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
2exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
3minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
4reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
5of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,
62017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
7Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
8adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of or
9committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
10less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
11Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, ii) a minor
12for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
13exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
14minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition to
15reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section 2-33
16of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis exists
17when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect, or
18dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
19circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of
20delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to attend
21any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of the
22Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
23hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
24release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.
25    As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
26date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 119 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 120 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests of
2the child require that the child be placed in the most
3permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
4possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
5Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
6concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
7earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
8include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
9the family when the child can be cared for at home without
10endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
11the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
12is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
13permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
14    When determining reasonable efforts to be made with respect
15to a child, as described in this subsection, and in making such
16reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the
17paramount concern.
18    When a child is placed in foster care, the Department shall
19ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to
20prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
21child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
22reunify the family when temporary placement of the child occurs
23unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
24of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing where the
25Department believes that further reunification services would
26be ineffective, it may request a finding from the court that

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 121 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 122 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        (1) it has received a written consent to such temporary
2    custody signed by the parents of the child or by the parent
3    having custody of the child if the parents are not living
4    together or by the guardian or custodian of the child if
5    the child is not in the custody of either parent, or
6        (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
7    parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be located.
8If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
9guardian, custodian or responsible caretaker, the Department
10may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
11custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
12in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian or
13custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
14apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
15resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
16enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
17health and safety and assume charge of the child until a
18parent, guardian or custodian enters the home and expresses
19such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
20resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
21home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
22follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
235-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
24    The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
25and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
26pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 123 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary custody
2pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and Neglected
3Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and acceptance
4under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in limited
5custody, the Department, during the period of temporary custody
6and before the child is brought before a judicial officer as
7required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or 5-415 of the Juvenile
8Court Act of 1987, shall have the authority, responsibilities
9and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have under
10subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile Court Act of
111987.
12    The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
13custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
14examination.
15    A parent, guardian or custodian of a child in the temporary
16custody of the Department who would have custody of the child
17if he were not in the temporary custody of the Department may
18deliver to the Department a signed request that the Department
19surrender the temporary custody of the child. The Department
20may retain temporary custody of the child for 10 days after the
21receipt of the request, during which period the Department may
22cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
23of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the Department shall retain
24temporary custody of the child until the court orders
25otherwise. If a petition is not filed within the 10-day period,
26the child shall be surrendered to the custody of the requesting

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 124 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 125 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1guardians of the estates of those children, or by both the
2Department and the parents or guardians, except that no
3payments shall be made by the Department for any child placed
4in a licensed child care facility for board, clothing, care,
5training and supervision of such a child that exceed the
6average per capita cost of maintaining and of caring for a
7child in institutions for dependent or neglected children
8operated by the Department. However, such restriction on
9payments does not apply in cases where children require
10specialized care and treatment for problems of severe emotional
11disturbance, physical disability, social adjustment, or any
12combination thereof and suitable facilities for the placement
13of such children are not available at payment rates within the
14limitations set forth in this Section. All reimbursements for
15services delivered shall be absolutely inalienable by
16assignment, sale, attachment, garnishment or otherwise.
17    (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
18welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
19sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
20minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
21subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
221987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
23provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
24yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
25responsibility for the development and delivery of services

HB3249 Enrolled- 126 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

24care who are placed by private child welfare agencies, and
25foster families with whom those youth are placed, shall be
26afforded the same procedural and appeal rights as children and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 127 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1families in the case of placement by the Department, including
2the right to an initial review of a private agency decision by
3that agency. The Department shall ensure that any private child
4welfare agency, which accepts youth in care for placement,
5affords those rights to children and foster families. The
6Department shall accept for administrative review and an appeal
7hearing a complaint made by (i) a child or foster family
8concerning a decision following an initial review by a private
9child welfare agency or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who
10alleges a violation of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An
11appeal of a decision concerning a change in the placement of a
12child shall be conducted in an expedited manner. A court
13determination that a current foster home placement is necessary
14and appropriate under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of
151987 does not constitute a judicial determination on the merits
16of an administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
17involving a change of placement decision.
18    (p) (Blank).
19    (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
20for the benefit of children any gift, donation or bequest of

3Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance allotments from
4the armed forces, court ordered payments, parental voluntary
5payments, Supplemental Security Income, Railroad Retirement
6payments, Black Lung benefits, or other miscellaneous
7payments. Interest earned by each account shall be credited to
8the account, unless disbursed in accordance with this
9subsection.
10    In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
11Department shall:
12        (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and
13    federal laws for disbursing money from children's
14    accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
15    "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must

17    Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
18    records of all disbursements for each account for any
19    purpose.
20        (2) Calculate on a monthly basis the amounts paid from
21    State funds for the child's board and care, medical care
22    not covered under Medicaid, and social services; and

24    regulation, to reimburse those costs. Monthly,
25    disbursements from all children's accounts, up to 1/12 of
26    $13,000,000, shall be deposited by the Department into the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 129 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

2    $13,000,000 into the DCFS Children's Services Fund.
3        (3) Maintain any balance remaining after reimbursing
4    for the child's costs of care, as specified in item (2).
5    The balance shall accumulate in accordance with relevant
6    State and federal laws and shall be disbursed to the child
7    or his or her guardian, or to the issuing agency.

9encouraging all adoption agencies to voluntarily forward to the
10Department or its agent names and addresses of all persons who
11have applied for and have been approved for adoption of a
12hard-to-place child or child with a disability and the names of
13such children who have not been placed for adoption. A list of
14such names and addresses shall be maintained by the Department
15or its agent, and coded lists which maintain the
16confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of
17the child shall be made available, without charge, to every
18adoption agency in the State to assist the agencies in placing
19such children for adoption. The Department may delegate to an
20agent its duty to maintain and make available such lists. The
21Department shall ensure that such agent maintains the
22confidentiality of the person seeking to adopt the child and of

15    directs the Department to perform such services; and
16        (2) the court has ordered one or both of the parties to
17    the proceeding to reimburse the Department for its
18    reasonable costs for providing such services in accordance
19    with Department rules, or has determined that neither party
20    is financially able to pay.
21    The Department shall provide written notification to the
22court of the specific arrangements for supervised visitation
23and projected monthly costs within 60 days of the court order.

1        reconsider, or any appeal or petition for
2        discretionary appellate review, is pending.

8        obligations owed by the petitioner that were
9        established, imposed, or originated in the criminal
10        proceeding for which those records have been sealed.
11        The records made available under this subparagraph (E)
12        shall not be entered into the official index required
13        to be kept by the circuit court clerk under Section 16
14        of the Clerks of Courts Act and shall be immediately

17            (F) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
18        Section, a circuit court clerk may access a sealed

22        proceedings for which those records have been sealed.
23        (10) Fees. The Department may charge the petitioner a
24    fee equivalent to the cost of processing any order to

26    the Clerks of Courts Act to the contrary, the circuit court

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 254 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    clerk may charge a fee equivalent to the cost associated
2    with the sealing or expungement of records by the circuit
3    court clerk. From the total filing fee collected for the
4    petition to seal or expunge, the circuit court clerk shall
5    deposit $10 into the Circuit Court Clerk Operation and
6    Administrative Fund, to be used to offset the costs
7    incurred by the circuit court clerk in performing the
8    additional duties required to serve the petition to seal or
9    expunge on all parties. The circuit court clerk shall
10    collect and forward the Department of State Police portion
11    of the fee to the Department and it shall be deposited in
12    the State Police Services Fund. If the record brought under
13    an expungement petition was previously sealed under this
14    Section, the fee for the expungement petition for that same
15    record shall be waived.
16        (11) Final Order. No court order issued under the
17    expungement or sealing provisions of this Section shall
18    become final for purposes of appeal until 30 days after
19    service of the order on the petitioner and all parties
20    entitled to notice of the petition.
21        (12) Motion to Vacate, Modify, or Reconsider. Under
22    Section 2-1203 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the
23    petitioner or any party entitled to notice may file a
24    motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider the order granting
25    or denying the petition to expunge or seal within 60 days
26    of service of the order. If filed more than 60 days after

3    2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Upon filing of a
4    motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider, notice of the
5    motion shall be served upon the petitioner and all parties
6    entitled to notice of the petition.
7        (13) Effect of Order. An order granting a petition
8    under the expungement or sealing provisions of this Section
9    shall not be considered void because it fails to comply
10    with the provisions of this Section or because of any error
11    asserted in a motion to vacate, modify, or reconsider. The
12    circuit court retains jurisdiction to determine whether
13    the order is voidable and to vacate, modify, or reconsider
14    its terms based on a motion filed under paragraph (12) of
15    this subsection (d).
16        (14) Compliance with Order Granting Petition to Seal
17    Records. Unless a court has entered a stay of an order
18    granting a petition to seal, all parties entitled to notice
19    of the petition must fully comply with the terms of the
20    order within 60 days of service of the order even if a

3    of that order, the parties entitled to notice of the
4    petition must seal, but need not expunge, the records until
5    there is a final order on the motion for relief or, in the
6    case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's mandate.
7        (16) The changes to this subsection (d) made by Public

5    Sec. 830-30. State Guarantees for existing debt.
6    (a) The Authority is authorized to issue State Guarantees
7for farmers' existing debts held by a lender. For the purposes
8of this Section, a farmer shall be a resident of Illinois, who
9is a principal operator of a farm or land, at least 50% of
10whose annual gross income is derived from farming and whose
11debt to asset ratio shall not be less than 40%, except in those
12cases where the applicant has previously used the guarantee
13program there shall be no debt to asset ratio or income
14restriction. For the purposes of this Section, debt to asset
15ratio shall mean the current outstanding liabilities of the
16farmer divided by the current outstanding assets of the farmer.
17The Authority shall establish the maximum permissible debt to
18asset ratio based on criteria established by the Authority.
19Lenders shall apply for the State Guarantees on forms provided
20by the Authority and certify that the application and any other
21documents submitted are true and correct. The lender or
22borrower, or both in combination, shall pay an administrative
23fee as determined by the Authority. The applicant shall be
24responsible for paying any fees or charges involved in
25recording mortgages, releases, financing statements, insurance

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 278 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1for secondary market issues and any other similar fees or
2charges as the Authority may require. The application shall at
3a minimum contain the farmer's name, address, present credit
4and financial information, including cash flow statements,
5financial statements, balance sheets, and any other
6information pertinent to the application, and the collateral to
7be used to secure the State Guarantee. In addition, the lender
8must agree to bring the farmer's debt to a current status at
9the time the State Guarantee is provided and must also agree to
10charge a fixed or adjustable interest rate which the Authority
11determines to be below the market rate of interest generally
12available to the borrower. If both the lender and applicant
13agree, the interest rate on the State Guarantee Loan can be
14converted to a fixed interest rate at any time during the term
15of the loan. Any State Guarantees provided under this Section
16(i) shall not exceed $500,000 per farmer, (ii) shall be set up
17on a payment schedule not to exceed 30 years, and shall be no
18longer than 30 years in duration, and (iii) shall be subject to
19an annual review and renewal by the lender and the Authority;
20provided that only one such State Guarantee shall be
21outstanding per farmer at any one time. No State Guarantee
22shall be revoked by the Authority without a 90-day notice, in
23writing, to all parties. In those cases where the borrower has
24not previously used the guarantee program, the lender shall not
25call due any loan during the first 3 years for any reason
26except for lack of performance or insufficient collateral. The

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 279 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1lender can review and withdraw or continue with the State
2Guarantee on an annual basis after the first 3 years of the
3loan, provided a 90-day notice, in writing, to all parties has
4been given.
5    (b) The Authority shall provide or renew a State Guarantee
6to a lender if:
7        (i) A fee equal to 25 basis points on the loan is paid
8    to the Authority on an annual basis by the lender.
9        (ii) The application provides collateral acceptable to
10    the Authority that is at least equal to the State's portion
11    of the Guarantee to be provided.
12        (iii) The lender assumes all responsibility and costs
13    for pursuing legal action on collecting any loan that is
14    delinquent or in default.
15        (iv) The lender is responsible for the first 15% of the
16    outstanding principal of the note for which the State
17    Guarantee has been applied.
18    (c) There is hereby created outside of the State treasury a
19special fund to be known as the Illinois Agricultural Loan
20Guarantee Fund. The State Treasurer shall be custodian of this
21Fund. Any amounts in the Illinois Agricultural Loan Guarantee
22Fund not currently needed to meet the obligations of the Fund
23shall be invested as provided by law or used by the Authority
24to make direct loans or originate or purchase loan
25participations under subsection subsections (i) or (r) of
26Section 801-40. All interest earned from these investments

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 280 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1shall be deposited into the Fund until the Fund reaches the
2maximum amount authorized in this Act; thereafter, interest
3earned shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund. After
4September 1, 1989, annual investment earnings equal to 1.5% of
5the Fund shall remain in the Fund to be used for the purposes
6established in Section 830-40 of this Act. All earnings on
7direct loans or loan participations made by the Authority under
8subsection subsections (i) or (r) of Section 801-40 with
9amounts in this Fund shall become funds of the Authority. The
10Authority is authorized to transfer to the Fund such amounts as
11are necessary to satisfy claims during the duration of the
12State Guarantee program to secure State Guarantees issued under
13this Section, provided that amounts to be paid from the
14Industrial Project Insurance Fund created under Article 805 of
15this Act may be paid by the Authority directly to satisfy
16claims and need not be deposited first into the Illinois
17Agricultural Loan Guarantee Fund. If for any reason the General
18Assembly fails to make an appropriation sufficient to meet
19these obligations, this Act shall constitute an irrevocable and
20continuing appropriation of an amount necessary to secure
21guarantees as defaults occur and the irrevocable and continuing
22authority for, and direction to, the State Treasurer and the
23Comptroller to make the necessary transfers to the Illinois
24Agricultural Loan Guarantee Fund, as directed by the Governor,
25out of the General Revenue Fund. Within 30 days after November
2615, 1985, the Authority may transfer up to $7,000,000 from

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 281 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1available appropriations into the Illinois Agricultural Loan
2Guarantee Fund for the purposes of this Act. Thereafter, the
3Authority may transfer additional amounts into the Illinois
4Agricultural Loan Guarantee Fund to secure guarantees for
5defaults as defaults occur. In the event of default by the
6farmer, the lender shall be entitled to, and the Authority
7shall direct payment on, the State Guarantee after 90 days of
8delinquency. All payments by the Authority to satisfy claims
9against the State Guarantee shall be made, in whole or in part,
10from any of the following funds in such order and in such
11amounts as the Authority shall determine: (1) the Industrial
12Project Insurance Fund created under Article 805 of this Act
13(if the Authority exercises its discretion under subsection (j)
14of Section 805-20); (2) the Illinois Agricultural Loan
15Guarantee Fund; or (3) the Illinois Farmer and Agribusiness
16Loan Guarantee Fund. The Illinois Agricultural Loan Guarantee
17Fund shall guarantee receipt of payment of the 85% of the
18principal and interest owed on the State Guarantee Loan by the
19farmer to the guarantee holder, provided that payments by the
20Authority to satisfy claims against the State Guarantee shall
21be made in accordance with the preceding sentence. It shall be
22the responsibility of the lender to proceed with the collecting
23and disposing of collateral on the State Guarantee under this
24Section, Section 830-35, Section 830-45, Section 830-50,
25Section 830-55, or Article 835 within 14 months of the time the
26State Guarantee is declared delinquent; provided, however,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 282 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1that the lender shall not collect or dispose of collateral on
2the State Guarantee without the express written prior approval
3of the Authority. If the lender does not dispose of the
4collateral within 14 months, the lender shall be liable to
5repay to the State interest on the State Guarantee equal to the
6same rate which the lender charges on the State Guarantee;
7provided, however, that the Authority may extend the 14-month
8period for a lender in the case of bankruptcy or extenuating
9circumstances. The Fund from which a payment is made shall be
10reimbursed for any amounts paid from that Fund under this
11Section, Section 830-35, Section 830-45, Section 830-50,
12Section 830-55, or Article 835 upon liquidation of the
13collateral. The Authority, by resolution of the Board, may
14borrow sums from the Fund and provide for repayment as soon as
15may be practical upon receipt of payments of principal and
16interest by a farmer. Money may be borrowed from the Fund by
17the Authority for the sole purpose of paying certain interest
18costs for farmers associated with selling a loan subject to a
19State Guarantee in a secondary market as may be deemed
20reasonable and necessary by the Authority.
21    (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 830-30
22with respect to the farmers and lenders who may obtain State
23Guarantees, the Authority may promulgate rules establishing
24the eligibility of farmers and lenders to participate in the
25State guarantee program and the terms, standards, and
26procedures that will apply, when the Authority finds that

1emergency conditions in Illinois agriculture have created the
2need for State Guarantees pursuant to terms, standards, and
3procedures other than those specified in this Section.

8revoked by the Authority without a 90-day notice, in writing,
9to all parties. The lender shall not call due any loan for any
10reason except for lack of performance, insufficient
11collateral, or maturity. A lender may review and withdraw or
12continue with a State Guarantee on an annual basis after the
13first 5 years following closing of the loan application if the
14loan contract provides for an interest rate that shall not

10provided by law, or used by the Authority to make direct loans
11or originate or purchase loan participations under subsection
12subsections (i) or (r) of Section 801-40. All interest earned
13from these investments shall be deposited into the Fund until
14the Fund reaches the maximum amounts authorized in this Act;
15thereafter, interest earned shall be deposited into the General
16Revenue Fund. After September 1, 1989, annual investment
17earnings equal to 1.5% of the Fund shall remain in the Fund to
18be used for the purposes established in Section 830-40 of this
19Act. All earnings on direct loans or loan participations made
20by the Authority under subsection subsections (i) or (r) of
21Section 801-40 with amounts in this Fund shall become funds of

1Guarantees issued under this Section, Sections 830-30, 830-45,
2830-50, and 830-55, and Article 835 of this Act. Amounts to be
3paid from the Industrial Project Insurance Fund created under
4Article 805 of this Act may be paid by the Authority directly
5to satisfy claims and need not be deposited first into the
6Illinois Farmer and Agribusiness Loan Guarantee Fund. If for
7any reason the General Assembly fails to make an appropriation
8sufficient to meet these obligations, this Act shall constitute
9an irrevocable and continuing appropriation of an amount
10necessary to secure guarantees as defaults occur and the
11irrevocable and continuing authority for, and direction to, the
12State Treasurer and the Comptroller to make the necessary
13transfers to the Illinois Farmer and Agribusiness Loan
14Guarantee Fund, as directed by the Governor, out of the General
15Revenue Fund. In the event of default by the borrower on State
16Guarantee Loans under this Section, Section 830-45, Section
17830-50, or Section 830-55, the lender shall be entitled to, and
18the Authority shall direct payment on, the State Guarantee
19after 90 days of delinquency. All payments by the Authority to
20satisfy claims against the State Guarantee shall be made, in
21whole or in part, from any of the following funds in such order
22and in such amounts as the Authority shall determine: (1) the
23Industrial Project Insurance Fund created under Article 805 of
24this Act (if the Authority exercises its discretion under
25subsection (j) of Section 805-20); (2) the Illinois Farmer and
26Agribusiness Loan Guarantee Fund; or (3) the Illinois Farmer

2responsibility of the lender to proceed with the collecting and
3disposing of collateral on the State Guarantee under this
4Section, Section 830-45, Section 830-50, or Section 830-55
5within 14 months of the time the State Guarantee is declared
6delinquent. If the lender does not dispose of the collateral
7within 14 months, the lender shall be liable to repay to the
8State interest on the State Guarantee equal to the same rate
9that the lender charges on the State Guarantee, provided that
10the Authority shall have the authority to extend the 14-month
11period for a lender in the case of bankruptcy or extenuating
12circumstances. The Fund shall be reimbursed for any amounts
13paid under this Section, Section 830-30, Section 830-45,
14Section 830-50, Section 830-55, or Article 835 upon liquidation
15of the collateral. The Authority, by resolution of the Board,
16may borrow sums from the Fund and provide for repayment as soon
17as may be practical upon receipt of payments of principal and
18interest by a borrower on State Guarantee Loans under this
19Section, Section 830-30, Section 830-45, Section 830-50,
20Section 830-55, or Article 835. Money may be borrowed from the
21Fund by the Authority for the sole purpose of paying certain
22interest costs for borrowers associated with selling a loan
23subject to a State Guarantee under this Section, Section
24830-30, Section 830-45, Section 830-50, Section 830-55, or

15    (a) The Authority is authorized to issue State Guarantees
16to lenders for loans to finance needed input costs related to
17and in connection with planting and raising agricultural crops
18and commodities in Illinois. Eligible input costs include, but
19are not limited to, fertilizer, chemicals, feed, seed, fuel,
20parts, and repairs. At the discretion of the Authority, the
21farmer, producer, or agribusiness must be able to provide the

23commodity to be raised and an assignment of Federal Crop
24Insurance sufficient to secure the Working Capital Loan.
25Additional collateral may be required as deemed necessary by

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 290 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1the lender and the Authority.
2    For the purposes of this Section, an eligible farmer,
3producer, or agribusiness is a resident of Illinois who is at
4least 18 years of age and who is a principal operator of a farm
5or land, who derives at least 50% of annual gross income from
6farming, and whose debt to asset ratio is not less than 40%.
7For the purposes of this Section, debt to asset ratio means
8current outstanding liabilities, including any debt to be
9financed or refinanced under this Section 830-55, divided by
10current outstanding assets. The Authority shall establish the
11maximum permissible debt to asset ratio based on criteria
12established by the Authority. Lenders shall apply for the State
13Guarantees on forms provided by the Authority and certify that
14the application and any other documents submitted are true and
15correct. The lender or borrower, or both in combination, shall
16pay an administrative fee as determined by the Authority. The
17applicant shall be responsible for paying any fee or charge
18involved in recording mortgages, releases, financing
19statements, insurance for secondary market issues, and any
20other similar fee or charge that the Authority may require. The
21application shall at a minimum contain the borrower's name,
22address, present credit and financial information, including
23cash flow statements, financial statements, balance sheets,
24and any other information pertinent to the application, and the

HB3249 Enrolled- 291 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1the time the State Guarantee is provided, the borrower will not
2be delinquent in the repayment of any debt. The lender must
3agree to charge a fixed or adjustable interest rate that the
4Authority determines to be below the market rate of interest
5generally available to the borrower. If both the lender and
6applicant agree, the interest rate on the State guaranteed loan
7can be converted to a fixed interest rate at any time during
8the term of the loan. State Guarantees provided under this
9Section (i) shall not exceed $250,000 per borrower, (ii) shall
10be repaid annually, and (iii) shall be subject to an annual
11review and renewal by the lender and the Authority. The State
12Guarantee may be renewed annually, for a period not to exceed 3
13total years per State Guarantee, if the borrower meets
14financial criteria and other conditions, as established by the
15Authority. A farmer or agribusiness may use this program more
16than once provided the aggregate principal amount of State
17Guarantees under this Section to that farmer or agribusiness
18does not exceed $250,000 annually. No State Guarantee shall be
19revoked by the Authority without a 90-day notice, in writing,
20to all parties.
21    (b) The Authority shall provide a State Guarantee to a
22lender if:
23        (i) The borrower pays to the Authority a fee equal to
24    100 basis points on the loan.
25        (ii) The application provides collateral acceptable to
26    the Authority that is at least equal to the State

4    delinquent or in default.
5        (iv) The lender is at risk for the first 15% of the
6    outstanding principal of the note for which the State
7    Guarantee is provided.

10Industrial Project Insurance Fund may be used to secure State
11Guarantees issued under this Section as provided in Section
12830-30, Section 830-35, and subsection (j) of Section 805-20,
13respectively, or to make direct loans or purchase loan
14participations under subsection subsections (i) or (r) of

17with the Industrial Project Insurance Fund and also exercises
18its discretion under this subsection to secure the same State
19Guarantee with the Illinois Agricultural Loan Guarantee Fund,

HB3249 Enrolled- 306 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            shall be determined through the long-term planning
2            process described in subparagraph (A) of this
3            paragraph (1).
4            For purposes of this Section:
5                "New wind projects" means wind renewable
6            energy facilities that are energized after June 1,
7            2017 for the delivery year commencing June 1, 2017
8            or within 3 years after the date the Commission
9            approves contracts for subsequent delivery years.
10                "New photovoltaic projects" means photovoltaic
11            renewable energy facilities that are energized
12            after June 1, 2017. Photovoltaic projects
13            developed under Section 1-56 of this Act shall not
14            apply towards the new photovoltaic project
15            requirements in this subparagraph (C).
16        (D) Renewable energy credits shall be cost effective.
17    For purposes of this subsection (c), "cost effective" means
18    that the costs of procuring renewable energy resources do
19    not cause the limit stated in subparagraph (E) of this
20    paragraph (1) to be exceeded and, for renewable energy
21    credits procured through a competitive procurement event,
22    do not exceed benchmarks based on market prices for like
23    products in the region. For purposes of this subsection
24    (c), "like products" means contracts for renewable energy
25    credits from the same or substantially similar technology,
26    same or substantially similar vintage (new or existing),

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 307 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    the same or substantially similar quantity, and the same or
2    substantially similar contract length and structure.
3    Benchmarks shall be developed by the procurement
4    administrator, in consultation with the Commission staff,
5    Agency staff, and the procurement monitor and shall be
6    subject to Commission review and approval. If price
7    benchmarks for like products in the region are not
8    available, the procurement administrator shall establish
9    price benchmarks based on publicly available data on
10    regional technology costs and expected current and future
11    regional energy prices. The benchmarks in this Section
12    shall not be used to curtail or otherwise reduce
13    contractual obligations entered into by or through the
14    Agency prior to June 1, 2017 (the effective date of Public
15    Act 99-906).
16        (E) For purposes of this subsection (c), the required
17    procurement of cost-effective renewable energy resources
18    for a particular year commencing prior to June 1, 2017
19    shall be measured as a percentage of the actual amount of
20    electricity (megawatt-hours) supplied by the electric
21    utility to eligible retail customers in the delivery year
22    ending immediately prior to the procurement, and, for
23    delivery years commencing on and after June 1, 2017, the
24    required procurement of cost-effective renewable energy
25    resources for a particular year shall be measured as a
26    percentage of the actual amount of electricity

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 308 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    (megawatt-hours) delivered by the electric utility in the
2    delivery year ending immediately prior to the procurement,
3    to all retail customers in its service territory. For
4    purposes of this subsection (c), the amount paid per
5    kilowatthour means the total amount paid for electric
6    service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For purposes
7    of this subsection (c), the total amount paid for electric
8    service includes without limitation amounts paid for
9    supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges, and add-on
10    taxes.
11        Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
12    (c), the total of renewable energy resources procured under
13    the procurement plan for any single year shall be subject
14    to the limitations of this subparagraph (E). Such
15    procurement shall be reduced for all retail customers based
16    on the amount necessary to limit the annual estimated
17    average net increase due to the costs of these resources
18    included in the amounts paid by eligible retail customers
19    in connection with electric service to no more than the
20    greater of 2.015% of the amount paid per kilowatthour by
21    those customers during the year ending May 31, 2007 or the
22    incremental amount per kilowatthour paid for these
23    resources in 2011. To arrive at a maximum dollar amount of
24    renewable energy resources to be procured for the
25    particular delivery year, the resulting per kilowatthour
26    amount shall be applied to the actual amount of

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 309 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    kilowatthours of electricity delivered, or applicable
2    portion of such amount as specified in paragraph (1) of
3    this subsection (c), as applicable, by the electric utility
4    in the delivery year immediately prior to the procurement
5    to all retail customers in its service territory. The
6    calculations required by this subparagraph (E) shall be
7    made only once for each delivery year at the time that the
8    renewable energy resources are procured. Once the
9    determination as to the amount of renewable energy
10    resources to procure is made based on the calculations set
11    forth in this subparagraph (E) and the contracts procuring
12    those amounts are executed, no subsequent rate impact
13    determinations shall be made and no adjustments to those
14    contract amounts shall be allowed. All costs incurred under
15    such contracts shall be fully recoverable by the electric
16    utility as provided in this Section.
17        (F) If the limitation on the amount of renewable energy
18    resources procured in subparagraph (E) of this paragraph
19    (1) prevents the Agency from meeting all of the goals in
20    this subsection (c), the Agency's long-term plan shall
21    prioritize compliance with the requirements of this
22    subsection (c) regarding renewable energy credits in the
23    following order:
24            (i) renewable energy credits under existing
25        contractual obligations;
26            (i-5) funding for the Illinois Solar for All

1        Program, as described in subparagraph (O) of this
2        paragraph (1);
3            (ii) renewable energy credits necessary to comply
4        with the new wind and new photovoltaic procurement
5        requirements described in items (i) through (iii) of
6        subparagraph (C) of this paragraph (1); and
7            (iii) renewable energy credits necessary to meet
8        the remaining requirements of this subsection (c).
9        (G) The following provisions shall apply to the
10    Agency's procurement of renewable energy credits under
11    this subsection (c):
12            (i) Notwithstanding whether a long-term renewable
13        resources procurement plan has been approved, the
14        Agency shall conduct an initial forward procurement
15        for renewable energy credits from new utility-scale
16        wind projects within 160 days after June 1, 2017 (the
17        effective date of Public Act 99-906). For the purposes
18        of this initial forward procurement, the Agency shall
19        solicit 15-year contracts for delivery of 1,000,000
20        renewable energy credits delivered annually from new
21        utility-scale wind projects to begin delivery on June
22        1, 2019, if available, but not later than June 1, 2021.
23        Payments to suppliers of renewable energy credits
24        shall commence upon delivery. Renewable energy credits
25        procured under this initial procurement shall be
26        included in the Agency's long-term plan and shall apply

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 311 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        to all renewable energy goals in this subsection (c).
2            (ii) Notwithstanding whether a long-term renewable
3        resources procurement plan has been approved, the
4        Agency shall conduct an initial forward procurement
5        for renewable energy credits from new utility-scale
6        solar projects and brownfield site photovoltaic
7        projects within one year after June 1, 2017 (the
8        effective date of Public Act 99-906). For the purposes
9        of this initial forward procurement, the Agency shall

11        renewable energy credits delivered annually from new
12        utility-scale solar projects and brownfield site
13        photovoltaic projects to begin delivery on June 1,
14        2019, if available, but not later than June 1, 2021.
15        The Agency may structure this initial procurement in
16        one or more discrete procurement events. Payments to
17        suppliers of renewable energy credits shall commence
18        upon delivery. Renewable energy credits procured under
19        this initial procurement shall be included in the
20        Agency's long-term plan and shall apply to all
21        renewable energy goals in this subsection (c).
22            (iii) Subsequent forward procurements for
23        utility-scale wind projects shall solicit at least
24        1,000,000 renewable energy credits delivered annually
25        per procurement event and shall be planned, scheduled,
26        and designed such that the cumulative amount of

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 312 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        renewable energy credits delivered from all new wind
2        projects in each delivery year shall not exceed the
3        Agency's projection of the cumulative amount of
4        renewable energy credits that will be delivered from
5        all new photovoltaic projects, including utility-scale
6        and distributed photovoltaic devices, in the same
7        delivery year at the time scheduled for wind contract
8        delivery.
9            (iv) If, at any time after the time set for
10        delivery of renewable energy credits pursuant to the
11        initial procurements in items (i) and (ii) of this
12        subparagraph (G), the cumulative amount of renewable
13        energy credits projected to be delivered from all new
14        wind projects in a given delivery year exceeds the
15        cumulative amount of renewable energy credits
16        projected to be delivered from all new photovoltaic
17        projects in that delivery year by 200,000 or more
18        renewable energy credits, then the Agency shall within
19        60 days adjust the procurement programs in the
20        long-term renewable resources procurement plan to
21        ensure that the projected cumulative amount of
22        renewable energy credits to be delivered from all new
23        wind projects does not exceed the projected cumulative
24        amount of renewable energy credits to be delivered from
25        all new photovoltaic projects by 200,000 or more
26        renewable energy credits, provided that nothing in

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 313 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        this Section shall preclude the projected cumulative
2        amount of renewable energy credits to be delivered from
3        all new photovoltaic projects from exceeding the
4        projected cumulative amount of renewable energy
5        credits to be delivered from all new wind projects in
6        each delivery year and provided further that nothing in
7        this item (iv) shall require the curtailment of an
8        executed contract. The Agency shall update, on a
9        quarterly basis, its projection of the renewable
10        energy credits to be delivered from all projects in
11        each delivery year. Notwithstanding anything to the
12        contrary, the Agency may adjust the timing of
13        procurement events conducted under this subparagraph
14        (G). The long-term renewable resources procurement
15        plan shall set forth the process by which the
16        adjustments may be made.
17            (v) All procurements under this subparagraph (G)
18        shall comply with the geographic requirements in
19        subparagraph (I) of this paragraph (1) and shall follow
20        the procurement processes and procedures described in
21        this Section and Section 16-111.5 of the Public
22        Utilities Act to the extent practicable, and these
23        processes and procedures may be expedited to
24        accommodate the schedule established by this
25        subparagraph (G).
26        (H) The procurement of renewable energy resources for a

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 314 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    given delivery year shall be reduced as described in this
2    subparagraph (H) if an alternative retail electric
3    supplier meets the requirements described in this
4    subparagraph (H).
5            (i) Within 45 days after June 1, 2017 (the
6        effective date of Public Act 99-906), an alternative
7        retail electric supplier or its successor shall submit
8        an informational filing to the Illinois Commerce
9        Commission certifying that, as of December 31, 2015,
10        the alternative retail electric supplier owned one or
11        more electric generating facilities that generates
12        renewable energy resources as defined in Section 1-10
13        of this Act, provided that such facilities are not
14        powered by wind or photovoltaics, and the facilities
15        generate one renewable energy credit for each
16        megawatthour of energy produced from the facility.
17            The informational filing shall identify each
18        facility that was eligible to satisfy the alternative
19        retail electric supplier's obligations under Section
20        16-115D of the Public Utilities Act as described in
21        this item (i).
22            (ii) For a given delivery year, the alternative
23        retail electric supplier may elect to supply its retail
24        customers with renewable energy credits from the
25        facility or facilities described in item (i) of this
26        subparagraph (H) that continue to be owned by the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 315 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        alternative retail electric supplier.
2            (iii) The alternative retail electric supplier
3        shall notify the Agency and the applicable utility, no

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 316 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1                For delivery years beginning June 1, 2019 and
2            each year thereafter, the maximum amount of
3            renewable energy credits to be supplied by an
4            alternative retail electric supplier under this
5            subparagraph (H) shall be 68% multiplied by 50%
6            multiplied by 16% multiplied by the amount of
7            metered electricity (megawatt-hours) delivered by
8            the alternative retail electric supplier to
9            Illinois retail customers during the delivery year
10            ending May 31, 2016, provided that the 16% value
11            shall increase by 1.5% each delivery year
12            thereafter to 25% by the delivery year beginning
13            June 1, 2025, and thereafter the 25% value shall
14            apply to each delivery year.
15            For each delivery year, the total amount of
16        renewable energy credits supplied by all alternative
17        retail electric suppliers under this subparagraph (H)
18        shall not exceed 9% of the Illinois target renewable
19        energy credit quantity. The Illinois target renewable
20        energy credit quantity for the delivery year beginning
21        June 1, 2018 is 14.5% multiplied by the total amount of
22        metered electricity (megawatt-hours) delivered in the
23        delivery year immediately preceding that delivery
24        year, provided that the 14.5% shall increase by 1.5%
25        each delivery year thereafter to 25% by the delivery
26        year beginning June 1, 2025, and thereafter the 25%

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 317 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        value shall apply to each delivery year.
2            If the requirements set forth in items (i) through
3        (iii) of this subparagraph (H) are met, the charges
4        that would otherwise be applicable to the retail
5        customers of the alternative retail electric supplier
6        under paragraph (6) of this subsection (c) for the
7        applicable delivery year shall be reduced by the ratio
8        of the quantity of renewable energy credits supplied by
9        the alternative retail electric supplier compared to
10        that supplier's target renewable energy credit
11        quantity. The supplier's target renewable energy
12        credit quantity for the delivery year beginning June 1,
13        2018 is 14.5% multiplied by the total amount of metered
14        electricity (megawatt-hours) delivered by the
15        alternative retail supplier in that delivery year,
16        provided that the 14.5% shall increase by 1.5% each
17        delivery year thereafter to 25% by the delivery year
18        beginning June 1, 2025, and thereafter the 25% value
19        shall apply to each delivery year.
20            On or before April 1 of each year, the Agency shall
21        annually publish a report on its website that
22        identifies the aggregate amount of renewable energy
23        credits supplied by alternative retail electric
24        suppliers under this subparagraph (H).
25        (I) The Agency shall design its long-term renewable
26    energy procurement plan to maximize the State's interest in

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 318 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

2    interest in the health, safety, and welfare of its
3    residents, renewable energy credits shall not be eligible
4    to be counted toward the renewable energy requirements of
5    this subsection (c) if they are sourced from a generating
6    unit whose costs were being recovered through rates
7    regulated by this State or any other state or states on or
8    after January 1, 2017. Each contract executed to purchase
9    renewable energy credits under this subsection (c) shall
10    provide for the contract's termination if the costs of the
11    generating unit supplying the renewable energy credits
12    subsequently begin to be recovered through rates regulated
13    by this State or any other state or states; and each
14    contract shall further provide that, in that event, the
15    supplier of the credits must return 110% of all payments
16    received under the contract. Amounts returned under the
17    requirements of this subparagraph (J) shall be retained by
18    the utility and all of these amounts shall be used for the
19    procurement of additional renewable energy credits from
20    new wind or new photovoltaic resources as defined in this
21    subsection (c). The long-term plan shall provide that these
22    renewable energy credits shall be procured in the next
23    procurement event.
24        Notwithstanding the limitations of this subparagraph
25    (J), renewable energy credits sourced from generating
26    units that are constructed, purchased, owned, or leased by

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 320 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    an electric utility as part of an approved project,
2    program, or pilot under Section 1-56 of this Act shall be
3    eligible to be counted toward the renewable energy
4    requirements of this subsection (c), regardless of how the
5    costs of these units are recovered.
6        (K) The long-term renewable resources procurement plan
7    developed by the Agency in accordance with subparagraph (A)
8    of this paragraph (1) shall include an Adjustable Block
9    program for the procurement of renewable energy credits
10    from new photovoltaic projects that are distributed
11    renewable energy generation devices or new photovoltaic
12    community renewable generation projects. The Adjustable
13    Block program shall be designed to provide a transparent
14    schedule of prices and quantities to enable the
15    photovoltaic market to scale up and for renewable energy
16    credit prices to adjust at a predictable rate over time.
17    The prices set by the Adjustable Block program can be
18    reflected as a set value or as the product of a formula.
19        The Adjustable Block program shall include for each
20    category of eligible projects: a schedule of standard block
21    purchase prices to be offered; a series of steps, with
22    associated nameplate capacity and purchase prices that
23    adjust from step to step; and automatic opening of the next
24    step as soon as the nameplate capacity and available
25    purchase prices for an open step are fully committed or
26    reserved. Only projects energized on or after June 1, 2017

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 321 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    shall be eligible for the Adjustable Block program. For
2    each block group the Agency shall determine the number of
3    blocks, the amount of generation capacity in each block,
4    and the purchase price for each block, provided that the
5    purchase price provided and the total amount of generation
6    in all blocks for all block groups shall be sufficient to
7    meet the goals in this subsection (c). The Agency may
8    periodically review its prior decisions establishing the
9    number of blocks, the amount of generation capacity in each
10    block, and the purchase price for each block, and may
11    propose, on an expedited basis, changes to these previously
12    set values, including but not limited to redistributing
13    these amounts and the available funds as necessary and
14    appropriate, subject to Commission approval as part of the
15    periodic plan revision process described in Section
16    16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act. The Agency may define
17    different block sizes, purchase prices, or other distinct
18    terms and conditions for projects located in different
19    utility service territories if the Agency deems it
20    necessary to meet the goals in this subsection (c).
21        The Adjustable Block program shall include at least the
22    following block groups in at least the following amounts,
23    which may be adjusted upon review by the Agency and
24    approval by the Commission as described in this
25    subparagraph (K):
26            (i) At least 25% from distributed renewable energy

4        energy generation devices with a nameplate capacity of
5        more than 10 kilowatts and no more than 2,000
6        kilowatts. The Agency may create sub-categories within
7        this category to account for the differences between
8        projects for small commercial customers, large
9        commercial customers, and public or non-profit
10        customers.
11            (iii) At least 25% from photovoltaic community
12        renewable generation projects.
13            (iv) The remaining 25% shall be allocated as
14        specified by the Agency in the long-term renewable
15        resources procurement plan.
16        The Adjustable Block program shall be designed to
17    ensure that renewable energy credits are procured from
18    photovoltaic distributed renewable energy generation

18        with the delivery of renewable energy credits required
19        beginning at the time that the reserved funds become
20        available.
21            (vii) Nothing in this Section shall require the
22        utility to advance any payment or pay any amounts that
23        exceed the actual amount of revenues collected by the
24        utility under paragraph (6) of this subsection (c) and
25        subsection (k) of Section 16-108 of the Public
26        Utilities Act, and contracts executed under this

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 325 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 326 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    deviate from the Commission's approved value by more than
2    25% shall take effect immediately and are not subject to
3    Commission review and approval. Program modifications to
4    any price, capacity block, or other program element that
5    deviate more than 25% from the Commission's approved value

19    commercial customers and those who cannot install
20    renewable energy on their own properties. Any plan approved
21    by the Commission shall allow subscriptions to community
22    renewable generation projects to be portable and
23    transferable. For purposes of this subparagraph (N),
24    "portable" means that subscriptions may be retained by the
25    subscriber even if the subscriber relocates or changes its
26    address within the same utility service territory; and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 327 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    "transferable" means that a subscriber may assign or sell
2    subscriptions to another person within the same utility
3    service territory.
4        Electric utilities shall provide a monetary credit to a
5    subscriber's subsequent bill for service for the
6    proportional output of a community renewable generation
7    project attributable to that subscriber as specified in
8    Section 16-107.5 of the Public Utilities Act.
9        The Agency shall purchase renewable energy credits
10    from subscribed shares of photovoltaic community renewable
11    generation projects through the Adjustable Block program
12    described in subparagraph (K) of this paragraph (1) or

HB3249 Enrolled- 341 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 342 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 344 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1                (ix) limit the utility's or alternative retail
2            electric supplier's obligation to incur any
3            liability until such time as the facility is in
4            commercial operation and generating power and
5            energy and such power and energy is being delivered
6            to the facility busbar;
7                (x) provide that the owner or owners of the
8            initial clean coal facility, which is the
9            counterparty to such sourcing agreement, shall
10            have the right from time to time to elect whether
11            the obligations of the utility party thereto shall
12            be governed by the power purchase provisions or the
13            contract for differences provisions;
14                (xi) append documentation showing that the
15            formula rate and contract, insofar as they relate
16            to the power purchase provisions, have been
17            approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory
18            Commission pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal
19            Power Act;
20                (xii) provide that any changes to the terms of
21            the contract, insofar as such changes relate to the
22            power purchase provisions, are subject to review
23            under the public interest standard applied by the
24            Federal Energy Regulatory Commission pursuant to
25            Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act; and

3        (4) Effective date of sourcing agreements with the
4    initial clean coal facility. Any proposed sourcing
5    agreement with the initial clean coal facility shall not
6    become effective unless the following reports are prepared
7    and submitted and authorizations and approvals obtained:
8            (i) Facility cost report. The owner of the initial
9        clean coal facility shall submit to the Commission, the
10        Agency, and the General Assembly a front-end
11        engineering and design study, a facility cost report,
12        method of financing (including but not limited to
13        structure and associated costs), and an operating and
14        maintenance cost quote for the facility (collectively
15        "facility cost report"), which shall be prepared in
16        accordance with the requirements of this paragraph (4)
17        of subsection (d) of this Section, and shall provide
18        the Commission and the Agency access to the work
19        papers, relied upon documents, and any other backup
20        documentation related to the facility cost report.
21            (ii) Commission report. Within 6 months following
22        receipt of the facility cost report, the Commission, in
23        consultation with the Agency, shall submit a report to
24        the General Assembly setting forth its analysis of the
25        facility cost report. Such report shall include, but
26        not be limited to, a comparison of the costs associated

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 346 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        with electricity generated by the initial clean coal
2        facility to the costs associated with electricity
3        generated by other types of generation facilities, an
4        analysis of the rate impacts on residential and small
5        business customers over the life of the sourcing
6        agreements, and an analysis of the likelihood that the
7        initial clean coal facility will commence commercial
8        operation by and be delivering power to the facility's
9        busbar by 2016. To assist in the preparation of its
10        report, the Commission, in consultation with the
11        Agency, may hire one or more experts or consultants,
12        the costs of which shall be paid for by the owner of
13        the initial clean coal facility. The Commission and
14        Agency may begin the process of selecting such experts
15        or consultants prior to receipt of the facility cost
16        report.
17            (iii) General Assembly approval. The proposed
18        sourcing agreements shall not take effect unless,
19        based on the facility cost report and the Commission's
20        report, the General Assembly enacts authorizing
21        legislation approving (A) the projected price, stated
22        in cents per kilowatthour, to be charged for
23        electricity generated by the initial clean coal
24        facility, (B) the projected impact on residential and
25        small business customers' bills over the life of the
26        sourcing agreements, and (C) the maximum allowable

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 347 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        return on equity for the project; and
2            (iv) Commission review. If the General Assembly
3        enacts authorizing legislation pursuant to
4        subparagraph (iii) approving a sourcing agreement, the
5        Commission shall, within 90 days of such enactment,
6        complete a review of such sourcing agreement. During
7        such time period, the Commission shall implement any
8        directive of the General Assembly, resolve any
9        disputes between the parties to the sourcing agreement
10        concerning the terms of such agreement, approve the
11        form of such agreement, and issue an order finding that
12        the sourcing agreement is prudent and reasonable.
13        The facility cost report shall be prepared as follows:
14            (A) The facility cost report shall be prepared by
15        duly licensed engineering and construction firms
16        detailing the estimated capital costs payable to one or
17        more contractors or suppliers for the engineering,
18        procurement and construction of the components
19        comprising the initial clean coal facility and the
20        estimated costs of operation and maintenance of the
21        facility. The facility cost report shall include:
22                (i) an estimate of the capital cost of the core

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 351 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 352 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 353 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    this Act for the 5 delivery years beginning June 1, 2017.
2        The procurement process shall be subject to the
3    following provisions:
4            (A) Those zero emission facilities that intend to
5        participate in the procurement shall submit to the
6        Agency the following eligibility information for each
7        zero emission facility on or before the date
8        established by the Agency:
9                (i) the in-service date and remaining useful
10            life of the zero emission facility;
11                (ii) the amount of power generated annually
12            for each of the years 2005 through 2015, and the
13            projected zero emission credits to be generated
14            over the remaining useful life of the zero emission
15            facility, which shall be used to determine the
16            capability of each facility;
17                (iii) the annual zero emission facility cost
18            projections, expressed on a per megawatthour
19            basis, over the next 6 delivery years, which shall
20            include the following: operation and maintenance
21            expenses; fully allocated overhead costs, which
22            shall be allocated using the methodology developed
23            by the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations;
24            fuel expenditures; non-fuel capital expenditures;

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 355 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 356 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            market price index for the consecutive 12-month
2            period ending May 31, 2016 is $31.40 per
3            megawatthour, which is based on the sum of (aa) the
4            average day-ahead energy price across all hours of
5            such 12-month period at the PJM Interconnection
6            LLC Northern Illinois Hub, (bb) 50% multiplied by
7            the Base Residual Auction, or its successor,
8            capacity price for the rest of the RTO zone group
9            determined by PJM Interconnection LLC, divided by
10            24 hours per day, and (cc) 50% multiplied by the
11            Planning Resource Auction, or its successor,
12            capacity price for Zone 4 determined by the
13            Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc.,
14            divided by 24 hours per day.
15                (iii) Market price index: The market price
16            index for a delivery year shall be the sum of
17            projected energy prices and projected capacity
18            prices determined as follows:
19                    (aa) Projected energy prices: the
20                projected energy prices for the applicable
21                delivery year shall be calculated once for the
22                year using the forward market price for the PJM
23                Interconnection, LLC Northern Illinois Hub.
24                The forward market price shall be calculated as
25                follows: the energy forward prices for each
26                month of the applicable delivery year averaged

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 357 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 358 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1                    projected capacity price shall be equal to
2                    the sum of (1) 50% multiplied by the Base
3                    Residual Auction, or its successor, price
4                    for the ComEd zone as determined by PJM
5                    Interconnection LLC, divided by 24 hours
6                    per day, and (2) 50% multiplied by the
7                    resource auction price determined in the
8                    resource auction administered by the
9                    Midcontinent Independent System Operator,
10                    Inc., in which the largest percentage of
11                    load cleared for Local Resource Zone 4,
12                    divided by 24 hours per day, and where such
13                    price is determined by the Midcontinent
14                    Independent System Operator, Inc.
15            For purposes of this subsection (d-5):
16                "Rest of the RTO" and "ComEd Zone" shall have
17            the meaning ascribed to them by PJM
18            Interconnection, LLC.
19                "RTO" means regional transmission
20            organization.
21            (C) No later than 45 days after June 1, 2017 (the
22        effective date of Public Act 99-906), the Agency shall
23        publish its proposed zero emission standard
24        procurement plan. The plan shall be consistent with the
25        provisions of this paragraph (1) and shall provide that
26        winning bids shall be selected based on public interest

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 359 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        criteria that include, but are not limited to,
2        minimizing carbon dioxide emissions that result from
3        electricity consumed in Illinois and minimizing sulfur
4        dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and particulate matter
5        emissions that adversely affect the citizens of this
6        State. In particular, the selection of winning bids
7        shall take into account the incremental environmental
8        benefits resulting from the procurement, such as any
9        existing environmental benefits that are preserved by
10        the procurements held under Public Act 99-906 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 this Section 1-75 of this Act, as well as
23        publicly available analyses and studies performed by
24        or for regional transmission organizations that serve
25        the State and their independent market monitors.
26            Upon publishing of the zero emission standard

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 360 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 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), the Agency shall
9        revise the plan as necessary based on the comments
10        received and file its zero emission standard
11        procurement plan with the Commission.
12            If the Commission determines that the plan will
13        result in the procurement of cost-effective zero
14        emission credits, then the Commission shall, after
15        notice and hearing, but no later than 45 days after the
16        Agency filed the plan, approve the plan or approve with
17        modification. For purposes of this subsection (d-5),
18        "cost effective" means the projected costs of
19        procuring zero emission credits from zero emission
20        facilities do not cause the limit stated in paragraph
21        (2) of this subsection to be exceeded.
22            (C-5) As part of the Commission's review and
23        acceptance or rejection of the procurement results,
24        the Commission shall, in its public notice of
25        successful bidders:
26                (i) identify how the winning bids satisfy the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 361 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

8                average of the following:
9                        (I) the price, or if there is more than
10                    one price, the average of the prices, paid
11                    for renewable energy credits from new
12                    utility-scale wind projects in the
13                    procurement events specified in item (i)
14                    of subparagraph (G) of paragraph (1) of
15                    subsection (c) of this Section 1-75 of this
16                    Act; and
17                        (II) the price, or if there is more
18                    than one price, the average of the prices,
19                    paid for renewable energy credits from new
20                    utility-scale solar projects and

3                    (c) of this Section 1-75 of this Act.
4            Each utility shall enter into binding contractual
5        arrangements with the winning suppliers.
6            The procurement described in this subsection
7        (d-5), including, but not limited to, the execution of
8        all contracts procured, shall be completed no later
9        than May 10, 2017. Based on the effective date of
10        Public Act 99-906, the Agency and Commission may, as
11        appropriate, modify the various dates and timelines
12        under this subparagraph and subparagraphs (C) and (D)
13        of this paragraph (1). The procurement and plan
14        approval processes required by this subsection (d-5)
15        shall be conducted in conjunction with the procurement
16        and plan approval processes required by subsection (c)
17        of this Section and Section 16-111.5 of the Public
18        Utilities Act, to the extent practicable.
19        Notwithstanding whether a procurement event is
20        conducted under Section 16-111.5 of the Public
21        Utilities Act, the Agency shall immediately initiate a
22        procurement process on June 1, 2017 (the effective date
23        of Public Act 99-906).
24            (D) Following the procurement event described in
25        this paragraph (1) and consistent with subparagraph
26        (B) of this paragraph (1), the Agency shall calculate

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 364 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        the payments to be made under each contract for the
2        next delivery year based on the market price index for
3        that delivery year. The Agency shall publish the
4        payment calculations no later than May 25, 2017 and
5        every May 25 thereafter.
6            (E) Notwithstanding the requirements of this
7        subsection (d-5), the contracts executed under this
8        subsection (d-5) shall provide that the zero emission
9        facility may, as applicable, suspend or terminate
10        performance under the contracts in the following
11        instances:
12                (i) A zero emission facility shall be excused
13            from its performance under the contract for any
14            cause beyond the control of the resource,
15            including, but not restricted to, acts of God,
16            flood, drought, earthquake, storm, fire,
17            lightning, epidemic, war, riot, civil disturbance
18            or disobedience, labor dispute, labor or material
19            shortage, sabotage, acts of public enemy,
20            explosions, orders, regulations or restrictions
21            imposed by governmental, military, or lawfully
22            established civilian authorities, which, in any of
23            the foregoing cases, by exercise of commercially
24            reasonable efforts the zero emission facility
25            could not reasonably have been expected to avoid,
26            and which, by the exercise of commercially

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 365 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            reasonable efforts, it has been unable to
2            overcome. In such event, the zero emission
3            facility shall be excused from performance for the
4            duration of the event, including, but not limited
5            to, delivery of zero emission credits, and no
6            payment shall be due to the zero emission facility
7            during the duration of the event.
8                (ii) A zero emission facility shall be
9            permitted to terminate the contract if legislation
10            is enacted into law by the General Assembly that
11            imposes or authorizes a new tax, special
12            assessment, or fee on the generation of
13            electricity, the ownership or leasehold of a
14            generating unit, or the privilege or occupation of
15            such generation, ownership, or leasehold of
16            generation units by a zero emission facility.
17            However, the provisions of this item (ii) do not
18            apply to any generally applicable tax, special
19            assessment or fee, or requirements imposed by
20            federal law.
21                (iii) A zero emission facility shall be
22            permitted to terminate the contract in the event
23            that the resource requires capital expenditures in
24            excess of $40,000,000 that were neither known nor
25            reasonably foreseeable at the time it executed the
26            contract and that a prudent owner or operator of

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 366 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            such resource would not undertake.
2                (iv) A zero emission facility shall be
3            permitted to terminate the contract in the event
4            the Nuclear Regulatory Commission terminates the
5            resource's license.
6            (F) If the zero emission facility elects to
7        terminate a contract under this subparagraph (E) , of
8        this paragraph (1), then the Commission shall reopen
9        the docket in which the Commission approved the zero
10        emission standard procurement plan under subparagraph
11        (C) of this paragraph (1) and, after notice and
12        hearing, enter an order acknowledging the contract
13        termination election if such termination is consistent
14        with the provisions of this subsection (d-5).
15        (2) For purposes of this subsection (d-5), the amount
16    paid per kilowatthour means the total amount paid for
17    electric service expressed on a per kilowatthour basis. For
18    purposes of this subsection (d-5), the total amount paid
19    for electric service includes, without limitation, amounts
20    paid for supply, transmission, distribution, surcharges,
21    and add-on taxes.
22        Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection
23    (d-5), the contracts executed under this subsection (d-5)
24    shall provide that the total of zero emission credits
25    procured under a procurement plan shall be subject to the
26    limitations of this paragraph (2). For each delivery year,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 367 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 368 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 369 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 370 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

7contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such
8arrangements, but only under circumstances where the Director
9of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget certifies
10that he or she reasonably expects the total interest paid or to
11be paid on the Bonds, together with the fees for the
12arrangements (being treated as if interest), would not, taken
13together, cause the Bonds to bear interest, calculated to their
14stated maturity, at a rate in excess of the rate that the Bonds
15would bear in the absence of such arrangements.

17to be issued, participate in and enter into arrangements with

9Office of Management and Budget shall adopt an interest rate
10risk management policy providing that the amount of the State's
11variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds shall not exceed
1220%. This policy shall remain in effect while any Bonds are
13outstanding and the issuance of Bonds shall be subject to the
14terms of such policy. The terms of this policy may be amended
15from time to time by the Director of the Governor's Office of

14    Sec. 45. Applicability.
15    (a) The requirements established under this Act apply to
16State grant-making agencies that make State and federal
17pass-through awards to non-federal entities. These
18requirements apply to all costs related to State and federal
19pass-through awards. The requirements established under this
20Act do not apply to private awards.
21    (a-5) Nothing in this Act shall prohibit the use of State
22funds for purposes of federal match or maintenance of effort.
23    (b) The terms and conditions of State, federal, and
24pass-through awards apply to subawards and subrecipients
25unless a particular Section of this Act or the terms and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 465 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1conditions of the State or federal award specifically indicate
2otherwise. Non-federal entities shall comply with requirements
3of this Act regardless of whether the non-federal entity is a
4recipient or subrecipient of a State or federal pass-through
5award. Pass-through entities shall comply with the
6requirements set forth under the rules adopted under subsection
7(a) of Section 20 of this Act, but not to any requirements in
8this Act directed towards State or federal awarding agencies,
9unless the requirements of the State or federal awards indicate
10otherwise.
11    When a non-federal entity is awarded a cost-reimbursement
12contract, only 2 CFR 200.330 through 200.332 are incorporated
13by reference into the contract. However, when the Cost
14Accounting Standards are applicable to the contract, they take
15precedence over the requirements of this Act unless they are in
16conflict with Subpart F of 2 CFR 200. In addition, costs that
17are made unallowable under 10 U.S.C. 2324(e) and 41 U.S.C.
184304(a), as described in the Federal Acquisition Regulations,
19subpart 31.2 and subpart 31.603, are always unallowable. For
20requirements other than those covered in Subpart D of 2 CFR
21200.330 through 200.332, the terms of the contract and the
22Federal Acquisition Regulations apply.
23    With the exception of Subpart F of 2 CFR 200, which is
24required by the Single Audit Act, in any circumstances where
25the provisions of federal statutes or regulations differ from
26the provisions of this Act, the provision of the federal

2with Indian tribes, the provisions of the Indian
3Self-Determination and Education and Assistance Act, as
4amended, 25 U.S.C. 450-458ddd-2.
5    (c) State grant-making agencies may apply subparts A
6through E of 2 CFR 200 to for-profit entities, foreign public
7entities, or foreign organizations, except where the awarding
8agency determines that the application of these subparts would
9be inconsistent with the international obligations of the
10United States or the statute or regulations of a foreign
11government.
12    (d) 2 CFR 200.101 specifies how 2 CFR 200 is applicable to
13different types of awards. The same applicability applies to
14this Act.
15    (e) (Blank). for
16    (f) For public institutions of higher education, the
17provisions of this Act apply only to awards funded by State
18appropriations and federal pass-through awards from a State
19agency to public institutions of higher education.
20    (g) Each grant-making agency shall enhance its processes to
21monitor and address noncompliance with reporting requirements
22and with program performance standards. Where applicable, the
23process may include a corrective action plan. The monitoring
24process shall include a plan for tracking and documenting
25performance-based contracting decisions.

12                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
13                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
14                to a person that is not a related member, and

5            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
6            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
7            to the application or use of an alternative method
8            of apportionment under Section 304(f).

10            Director from making any other adjustment
11            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
12            any tax year beginning after the effective date of

17        to the stock of the same person to whom the intangible
18        expenses and costs were directly or indirectly paid,
19        incurred, or accrued. The preceding sentence does not
20        apply to the extent that the same dividends caused a
21        reduction to the addition modification required under
22        Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of this Act. As used in this
23        subparagraph, the term "intangible expenses and costs"

7        property" includes patents, patent applications, trade

9        works, trade secrets, and similar types of intangible
10        assets.
11            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:

13            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

15            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
16            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,

18            to such item; or
19                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
20            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

22            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
23            following:

13            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;

19            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
20            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
21            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
22            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department

6        business group but for the fact that the person is
7        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
8        included in the unitary business group because he or
9        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
10        income under different subsections of Section 304. The

4        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
5        required to apportion business income under different
6        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
7        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the

3            following:
4                    (a) the person, during the same taxable

6                to a person that is not a related member, and
7                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
8                interest expense between the taxpayer and the

15            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
16            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
17            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
18            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
19            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or

9            under Section 404 of this Act;
10            (E-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
11        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
12        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or

14        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
15        foreign person who would be a member of the same

19        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after

1        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
2        dividends were included in base income of the unitary

8        income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
9        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
10        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
11        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
12        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
13        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
14        modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) of
15        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
16        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,

4                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
5            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
6            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
7            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
8            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,
9            to a tax on or measured by net income with respect
10            to such item; or

14            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
15            following:

17                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
18                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
19                not a related member, and
20                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the

4            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
5            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
6            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
7            writing to the application or use of an alternative
8            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
9                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
10            Director from making any other adjustment
11            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
12            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
13            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
14            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
15            and such regulations provide methods and standards
16            by which the Department will utilize its authority
17            under Section 404 of this Act;
18            (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
19        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
20        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
21        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
22        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
23        a person who would be a member of the same unitary

25        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
26        included in the unitary business group because he or

2        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
3        addition modification required by this subparagraph
4        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
5        included in base income of the unitary group for the
6        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
7        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
8        (including amounts included in gross income under
9        Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
10        and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
11        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
12        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
13        directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
14        preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
15        the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
16        modification required under Section 203(b)(2)(E-12) or
17        Section 203(b)(2)(E-13) of this Act;
18            (E-15) For taxable years beginning after December

4        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
5        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
6        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
7        required to apportion business income under different
8        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification

9                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the

16            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
17            following:

7            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
8            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
9            writing to the application or use of an alternative
10            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
11                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
12            Director from making any other adjustment
13            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
14            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
15            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
16            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
17            and such regulations provide methods and standards
18            by which the Department will utilize its authority
19            under Section 404 of this Act;

23        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
24        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to

1        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
2        included in the unitary business group because he or
3        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
4        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
5        addition modification required by this subparagraph
6        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
7        included in base income of the unitary group for the
8        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
9        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
10        (including amounts included in gross income under

13        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock
14        of the same person to whom the premiums and costs were
15        directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The
16        preceding sentence does not apply to the extent that
17        the same dividends caused a reduction to the addition
18        modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) or
19        Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this Act;
20            (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to

3        modification under subparagraph (O), then an amount
4        equal to that subtraction modification.
5            The taxpayer is required to make the addition
6        modification under this subparagraph only once with

14        fact the foreign person's business activity outside
15        the United States is 80% or more of the foreign
16        person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
17        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
18        who would be a member of the same unitary business
19        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
20        under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the
21        unitary business group because he or she is ordinarily
22        required to apportion business income under different
23        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification
24        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
25        extent that dividends were included in base income of

5        included in gross income under Section 78 of the
6        Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of the
7        same person to whom the interest was paid, accrued, or
8        incurred.
9            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
10                (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
11            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
12            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
13            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
14            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
15            with respect to such interest; or
16                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
17            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
18            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
19            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
20            following:
21                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
22                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
23                to a person that is not a related member, and
24                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
25                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
26                person did not have as a principal purpose the

1                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
2                pursuant to a contract or agreement that
3                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
4                terms; or
5                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
6            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
7            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract or
8            agreement entered into at arm's-length rates and
9            terms and the principal purpose for the payment is
10            not federal or Illinois tax avoidance; or
11                (iv) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
12            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
13            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
14            evidence that the adjustments are unreasonable; or
15            if the taxpayer and the Director agree in writing
16            to the application or use of an alternative method
17            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
18                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
19            Director from making any other adjustment
20            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act for
21            any tax year beginning after the effective date of
22            this amendment provided such adjustment is made
23            pursuant to regulation adopted by the Department
24            and such regulations provide methods and standards
25            by which the Department will utilize its authority
26            under Section 404 of this Act; and

5        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
6        foreign person who would be a member of the same
7        unitary business group but for the fact that the

9        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
10        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
11        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
12        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
13        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
14        from being included in the unitary business group
15        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
16        business income under different subsections of Section
17        304. The addition modification required by this
18        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
19        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
20        group for the same taxable year and received by the
21        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
22        business group (including amounts included in gross
23        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the

HB3249 Enrolled- 547 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
2        indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
3        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
4        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
5        modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of
6        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
7        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,

9        indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or management,
10        ownership, sale, exchange, or any other disposition of
11        intangible property; (2) losses incurred, directly or
12        indirectly, from factoring transactions or discounting
13        transactions; (3) royalty, patent, technical, and

16        subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,
17        patent applications, trade names, trademarks, service
18        marks, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets, and
19        similar types of intangible assets;
20            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
21                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
22            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
23            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who is
24            subject in a foreign country or state, other than a
25            state which requires mandatory unitary reporting,

1            to such item; or
2                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
3            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
4            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
5            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
6            following:
7                    (a) the person during the same taxable
8                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
9                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
10                not a related member, and
11                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
12                intangible expense or cost between the
13                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
14                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
15                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
16                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
17                or
18                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
19            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
20            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if the
21            taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
22            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
23            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
24            writing to the application or use of an alternative
25            method of apportionment under Section 304(f);
26                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the

13        accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to a
14        person who would be a member of the same unitary
15        business group but for the fact that the person is
16        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
17        included in the unitary business group because he or
18        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
19        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
20        addition modification required by this subparagraph
21        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
22        included in base income of the unitary group for the
23        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a

25    excess of the net operating loss for the taxable year as

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 559 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

2    Internal Revenue Code, provided that when taxable income of
3    a corporation (other than a Subchapter S corporation),
4    trust, or estate is less than zero and addition

6    (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
7    subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for

23        distribution from pre-1984 policyholder surplus

26            (B) Certain other insurance companies. In the case

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 560 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

HB3249 Enrolled- 561 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the Internal
2        Revenue Code, but without regard to the prohibition
3        against offsetting losses from patronage activities
4        against income from nonpatronage activities; except
5        that a cooperative corporation or association may make
6        an election to follow its federal income tax treatment
7        of patronage losses and nonpatronage losses. In the
8        event such election is made, such losses shall be
9        computed and carried over in a manner consistent with
10        subsection (a) of Section 207 of this Act and
11        apportioned by the apportionment factor reported by
12        the cooperative on its Illinois income tax return filed
13        for the taxable year in which the losses are incurred.
14        The election shall be effective for all taxable years
15        with original returns due on or after the date of the
16        election. In addition, the cooperative may file an
17        amended return or returns, as allowed under this Act,
18        to provide that the election shall be effective for
19        losses incurred or carried forward for taxable years
20        occurring prior to the date of the election. Once made,
21        the election may only be revoked upon approval of the
22        Director. The Department shall adopt rules setting
23        forth requirements for documenting the elections and
24        any resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
25        used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
26        elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 562 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        existing law;
2            (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
3        a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
4        an election for the taxable year under Section 1362 of
5        the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income of such
6        corporation determined in accordance with Section
7        1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except that
8        taxable income shall take into account those items
9        which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
10        Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and (ii)
11        a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in effect
12        a federal election to opt out of the provisions of the
13        Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have applied
14        instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules as in
15        effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of such
16        corporation determined in accordance with the federal
17        Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1, 1982; and
18            (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
19        taxable income determined in accordance with Section
20        703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
21        income shall take into account those items which are
22        required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
23        but which would be taken into account by an individual
24        in calculating his taxable income.
25        (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
26    asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 563 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
2    business has been classified as business income and in a
3    later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
4    all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
5    year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
6    related to that asset or business that generated the
7    non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
8    business income in the year of the disposition of the asset
9    or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to Illinois
10    using the greater of the apportionment fraction computed
11    for the business under Section 304 of this Act for the
12    taxable year or the average of the apportionment fractions
13    computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act for
14    the taxable year and for the 2 immediately preceding
15    taxable years.
 
16    (f) Valuation limitation amount.
17        (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
18    referred to in subsections (a)(2)(G), (c)(2)(I) and
19    (d)(2)(E) is an amount equal to:
20            (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
21        amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
22        under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
23        Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
24        which such gain was reported for the taxable year; plus
25            (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 564 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
2        capital gain) for all property in respect of which such
3        gain was reported for federal income tax purposes for
4        the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for the
5        taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount of
6        such gain included in the amount determined under
7        subsection (a)(2)(F) or (c)(2)(H).
8        (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
9            (A) If the fair market value of property referred
10        to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on August
11        1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount for
12        such property is the lesser of (i) the excess of such
13        fair market value over the taxpayer's basis (for
14        determining gain) for such property on that date
15        (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
16        effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
17        and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
18        respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
19        such property.
20            (B) If the fair market value of property referred
21        to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
22        August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
23        amount for such property is that amount which bears the
24        same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of the
25        property for federal income tax purposes for the
26        taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 565 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
2        property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
3        full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
4        period for the property.
5            (C) The Department shall prescribe such
6        regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
7        purposes of this paragraph.
 
8    (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
9otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
10to be deducted more than once.
 
11    (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
12this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
13the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
14account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
15taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
16year, or in the amount of such items entering into the

12    state of residence if the purchaser titles the vehicle in
13    his or her state of residence within 30 days after the date

13paid for each year that all or a portion of the subsequent
14taxes are paid by a tax purchaser and posted to the tax
15judgment, sale, redemption and forfeiture record where the
16underlying certificate is recorded. In counties with less than

12that any extension allowed will expire not later than 3 years
13from the date of sale, unless the certificate has been assigned
14to the county collector by order of the court which ordered the
15property sold, in which case the period of redemption shall be
16extended for such period as may be designated by the holder of
17the certificate, such period not to exceed 36 months from the

2January 1 of the following year.
3    (k) No later than 5 months after the resolution or

12        (7) Each affected pension fund shall reduce the
13    employee contributions credited to the member's defined
14    contribution plan account by an amount determined by that
15    affected pension fund to cover the cost of offering the

1    (40 ILCS 5/14-152.1)
2    Sec. 14-152.1. Application and expiration of new benefit
3increases.
4    (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
5an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
6Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
7any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
8to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
9effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
10however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
11the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
1296-37, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, or Public Act
13100-611 or this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
14    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
15subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
16is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
17only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
18the provisions of this Section.
19    (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
20identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
21funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
22increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
23    Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
24Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
25subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
26Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 687 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
2shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
3Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by a
4Public Act that does not include the additional funding
5required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
6Pension Division determines that the additional funding
7provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is or
8has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
9the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
10by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
11at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
12made.
13    (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
14its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
15in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
16under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
17Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
18by law.
19    (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
20the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
21under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
22and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
23increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
24alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
25other person, including without limitation a person who
26continues in service after the expiration date and did not

12required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
13level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and

12    the resulting annual rate in each of the remaining fiscal
13    years in that 5-year period.
14    For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State

10total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
11issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of

21    employer as a result of the changes made to this Section by
22    Public Act 94-4.
23        (4) The increase in the required State contribution

HB3249 Enrolled- 709 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

12017, if the amount of a participant's earnings for any State
2fiscal year exceeds the amount of the salary set by law for the
3Governor that is in effect on July 1 of that fiscal year, the
4participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to
5all other payments required under this Section and in
6accordance with guidelines established by the System, an amount
7determined by the System to be equal to the employer normal
8cost, as established by the System and expressed as a total
9percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of earnings in
10excess of the amount of the salary set by law for the Governor.
11This amount shall be computed by the System on the basis of the
12actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
13actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
14of the computation. The System may require the employer to
15provide any pertinent information or documentation.
16    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
17under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
18the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
19shall specify the calculation used to determine the amount due.
20If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may, within
2130 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System in
22writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
23detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a timely
24application for recalculation, the System shall review the
25application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
26    The employer contributions required under this subsection

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 710 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
2issuance of the bill. If the employer contributions are not
3paid within 90 days after issuance of the bill, then interest
4will be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual
5actuarially assumed rate of return on investment compounded
6annually from the 91st day after issuance of the bill. All
7payments must be received within 3 years after issuance of the
8bill. If the employer fails to make complete payment, including
9applicable interest, within 3 years, then the System may, after
10giving notice to the employer, certify the delinquent amount to
11the State Comptroller, and the Comptroller shall thereupon
12deduct the certified delinquent amount from State funds payable
13to the employer and pay them instead to the System.
14    This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a participant's
15earnings to the extent an employer pays the employer normal
16cost of such earnings.
17    The changes made to this subsection (j-5) by Public Act
18100-624 this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly are
19intended to apply retroactively to July 6, 2017 (the effective
20date of Public Act 100-23).
21    (k) The Illinois Community College Board shall adopt rules
22for recommending lists of promotional positions submitted to
23the Board by community colleges and for reviewing the
24promotional lists on an annual basis. When recommending
25promotional lists, the Board shall consider the similarity of
26the positions submitted to those positions recognized for State

1universities by the State Universities Civil Service System.
2The Illinois Community College Board shall file a copy of its
3findings with the System. The System shall consider the
4findings of the Illinois Community College Board when making
5determinations under this Section. The System shall not exclude
6any earnings increases resulting from a promotion when the
7promotion was not submitted by a community college. Nothing in
8this subsection (k) shall require any community college to
9submit any information to the Community College Board.
10    (l) For purposes of determining the required State
11contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
12shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
13which shall be calculated as follows:
14    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
15assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
16that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
17assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
18gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
19year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
205-year period following that fiscal year.
21    (m) For purposes of determining the required State
22contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
23value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
24to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

2    Sec. 15-198. Application and expiration of new benefit
3increases.
4    (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
5an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
6Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
7any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
8to this Code that takes effect after the effective date of this
9amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly. "New benefit
10increase", however, does not include any benefit increase
11resulting from the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by
12Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, or Public Act 100-769 or
13this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
14    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
15subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
16is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
17only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
18the provisions of this Section.
19    (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
20identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
21funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
22increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
23    Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
24Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
25subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 713 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
2funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
3shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
4Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by a
5Public Act that does not include the additional funding
6required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
7Pension Division determines that the additional funding
8provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is or
9has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
10the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
11by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
12at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
13made.
14    (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
15its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
16in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
17under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
18Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
19by law.
20    (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
21the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
22under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
23and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
24increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
25alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
26other person, including without limitation a person who

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 714 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1continues in service after the expiration date and did not
2apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
3benefit increase was in effect.

10means of appropriations from the Common School Fund and other
11State funds of amounts which, together with other employer
12contributions, employee contributions, investment income, and

14maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis
15in accordance with actuarial recommendations.
16    The Board shall determine the amount of State contributions
17required for each fiscal year on the basis of the actuarial
18tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and the
19recommendations of the actuary, using the formula in subsection
20(b-3).

6January 15, 2013 and each January 15 thereafter, the Board
7shall certify to the Governor and the General Assembly the
8amount of the required State contribution for the next fiscal

11for not following the State Actuary's recommended changes, and
12the fiscal impact of not following the State Actuary's
13recommended changes on the required State contribution.
14    (a-10) By November 1, 2017, the Board shall recalculate and

20underlying the Board's revised certification and issue a
21preliminary report concerning the proposed recertification and
22identifying, if necessary, recommended changes in actuarial
23assumptions that the Board must consider before finalizing its

4    (a-15) On or after June 15, 2019, but no later than June
530, 2019, the Board shall recalculate and recertify to the
6Governor and the General Assembly the amount of the State
7contribution to the System for State fiscal year 2019, taking
8into account the changes in required State contributions made
9by Public Act 100-587 this amendatory Act of the 100th General
10Assembly. The recalculation shall be made using assumptions
11adopted by the Board for the original fiscal year 2019
12certification. The monthly voucher for the 12th month of fiscal

8State Finance Act. These vouchers shall be paid by the State
9Comptroller and Treasurer by warrants drawn on the funds
10appropriated to the System for that fiscal year.

19the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.
20    (b-2) Allocations from the Common School Fund apportioned
21to school districts not coming under this System shall not be

HB3249 Enrolled- 719 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
2State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
3required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
4level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
5including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
6projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
7    For each of State fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the

13increases or decreases the required State contribution and
14first applies in State fiscal year 2018 or thereafter shall be
15implemented in equal annual amounts over a 5-year period
16beginning in the State fiscal year in which the actuarial
17change first applies to the required State contribution.

19increases or decreases the required State contribution and
20first applied to the State contribution in fiscal year 2014,
212015, 2016, or 2017 shall be implemented:
22        (i) as already applied in State fiscal years before
23    2018; and
24        (ii) in the portion of the 5-year period beginning in
25    the State fiscal year in which the actuarial change first
26    applied that occurs in State fiscal year 2018 or

2    amounts over that 5-year period and then implementing it at
3    the resulting annual rate in each of the remaining fiscal
4    years in that 5-year period.
5    For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
6contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
7employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
8so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
9the rate required under this Section; except that in the
10following specified State fiscal years, the State contribution
11to the System shall not be less than the following indicated
12percentages of the applicable employee payroll, even if the
13indicated percentage will produce a State contribution in
14excess of the amount otherwise required under this subsection
15and subsection (a), and notwithstanding any contrary
16certification made under subsection (a-1) before May 27, 1998
17(the effective date of Public Act 90-582): 10.02% in FY 1999;

1employer contributions required by the State as an employer
2under paragraph (e) of this Section, which may also be used by
3the System for contributions required by paragraph (a) of
4Section 16-127.
5    Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State
6contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
7maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
8actuarial liabilities of the System.
9    Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
10the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
11Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
12constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
13contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
14Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
15calculation of, the required State contributions under this
16Article in any future year until the System has reached a
17funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
18the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
19term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the

4total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
5issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of that Section
67.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is
7the same as the System's portion of the total moneys
8distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
9Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State
10fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
11in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
12applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
13from the sum of the required State contribution for State
14fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
15total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
16issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of
17the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year
182011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required
19under this Section.
20    (b-4) Beginning in fiscal year 2018, each employer under
21this Article shall pay to the System a required contribution
22determined as a percentage of projected payroll and sufficient
23to produce an annual amount equal to:
24        (i) for each of fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the

4    year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, the defined
5    benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, less the
6    employee contribution, plus 2%, for each employee of that
7    employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
8    the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
9    election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; plus
10        (ii) the amount required for that fiscal year to
11    amortize any unfunded actuarial accrued liability
12    associated with the present value of liabilities
13    attributable to the employer's account under Section
14    16-158.3, determined as a level percentage of payroll over
15    a 30-year rolling amortization period.
16    In determining contributions required under item (i) of
17this subsection, the System shall determine an aggregate rate
18for all employers, expressed as a percentage of projected
19payroll.
20    In determining the contributions required under item (ii)
21of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System
22on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in
23the most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is
24available at the time of the computation.

26shall be paid by an employer concurrently with that employer's

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 725 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1payroll payment period. The State, as the actual employer of an
2employee, shall make the required contributions under this
3subsection.
4    (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all
5pensions, retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and
6other benefits granted under or assumed by this System, and all
7expenses in connection with the administration and operation
8thereof, are obligations of the State.
9    If members are paid from special trust or federal funds
10which are administered by the employing unit, whether school
11district or other unit, the employing unit shall pay to the
12System from such funds the full accruing retirement costs based
13upon that service, which, beginning July 1, 2017, shall be at a
14rate, expressed as a percentage of salary, equal to the total
15employer's normal cost, expressed as a percentage of payroll,
16as determined by the System. Employer contributions, based on
17salary paid to members from federal funds, may be forwarded by
18the distributing agency of the State of Illinois to the System
19prior to allocation, in an amount determined in accordance with
20guidelines established by such agency and the System. Any
21contribution for fiscal year 2015 collected as a result of the
22change made by Public Act 98-674 shall be considered a State
23contribution under subsection (b-3) of this Section.
24    (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as
25defined in paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the
26employer's normal cost of benefits based upon the teacher's

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 726 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1service, in addition to employee contributions, as determined
2by the System. Such employer contributions shall be forwarded
3monthly in accordance with guidelines established by the
4System.
5    However, with respect to benefits granted under Section
616-133.4 or 16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8)
7of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
8(rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate
9for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer
10shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
11the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
1216-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section
1316-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
14absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
15considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
16is on leave.
17    (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
18shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
19follows:
20        (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
21    employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each
22    teacher's salary.
23        (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
24    contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's
25    salary.
26The school district or other employing unit may pay these

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 727 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1employer contributions out of any source of funding available
2for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
3System on the schedule established for the payment of member
4contributions.
5    These employer contributions are intended to offset a
6portion of the cost to the System of the increases in
7retirement benefits resulting from Public Act 90-582.
8    Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against
9the contributions required under this subsection (e) with
10respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
112002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
12employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State
13Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
14paid to teachers for that period.
15    The additional 1% employee contribution required under
16Section 16-152 by Public Act 90-582 is the responsibility of
17the teacher and not the teacher's employer, unless the employer
18agrees, through collective bargaining or otherwise, to make the
19contribution on behalf of the teacher.
20    If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
211, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
22pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
23Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
24this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
25the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
26for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 728 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
2the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
3the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
4termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
5after May 1, 1998.
6    (f) For school years beginning on or after June 1, 2005 and
7before July 1, 2018 and for salary paid to a teacher under a
8contract or collective bargaining agreement entered into,
9amended, or renewed before June 4, 2018 (the effective date of
10Public Act 100-587) this amendatory Act of the 100th General
11Assembly, if the amount of a teacher's salary for any school
12year used to determine final average salary exceeds the
13member's annual full-time salary rate with the same employer
14for the previous school year by more than 6%, the teacher's
15employer shall pay to the System, in addition to all other
16payments required under this Section and in accordance with
17guidelines established by the System, the present value of the
18increase in benefits resulting from the portion of the increase
19in salary that is in excess of 6%. This present value shall be
20computed by the System on the basis of the actuarial
21assumptions and tables used in the most recent actuarial
22valuation of the System that is available at the time of the
23computation. If a teacher's salary for the 2005-2006 school
24year is used to determine final average salary under this
25subsection (f), then the changes made to this subsection (f) by
26Public Act 94-1057 shall apply in calculating whether the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 729 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1increase in his or her salary is in excess of 6%. For the
2purposes of this Section, change in employment under Section
310-21.12 of the School Code on or after June 1, 2005 shall
4constitute a change in employer. The System may require the
5employer to provide any pertinent information or
6documentation. The changes made to this subsection (f) by
7Public Act 94-1111 apply without regard to whether the teacher
8was in service on or after its effective date.
9    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
10under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
11the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
12shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
13due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
14within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
15in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
16detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts
17that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of
18this Section or that subsection (f-1) of this Section applies,
19must include an affidavit setting forth and attesting to all
20facts within the employer's knowledge that are pertinent to the
21applicability of that subsection. Upon receiving a timely
22application for recalculation, the System shall review the
23application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
24    The employer contributions required under this subsection
25(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
26receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 730 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
2charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
3assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
4the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
5concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
6bill.
7    (f-1) For school years beginning on or after July 1, 2018
8and for salary paid to a teacher under a contract or collective
9bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or renewed on or
10after June 4, 2018 (the effective date of Public Act 100-587)
11this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, if the
12amount of a teacher's salary for any school year used to
13determine final average salary exceeds the member's annual
14full-time salary rate with the same employer for the previous
15school year by more than 3%, then the teacher's employer shall
16pay to the System, in addition to all other payments required
17under this Section and in accordance with guidelines
18established by the System, the present value of the increase in
19benefits resulting from the portion of the increase in salary
20that is in excess of 3%. This present value shall be computed
21by the System on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and
22tables used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the
23System that is available at the time of the computation. The
24System may require the employer to provide any pertinent
25information or documentation.
26    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 731 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1under this subsection (f-1), the System shall calculate the
2amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.
3The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the
4amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it
5shall, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the
6System in writing for a recalculation. The application must
7specify in detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the
8employer asserts that subsection (f) of this Section applies,
9must include an affidavit setting forth and attesting to all
10facts within the employer's knowledge that are pertinent to the
11applicability of subsection (f). Upon receiving a timely
12application for recalculation, the System shall review the
13application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
14    The employer contributions required under this subsection
15(f-1) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
16receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
17within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest shall
18be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
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    (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or
24salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
251, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not

15the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the
16standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school
17district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are
18equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction
19computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
20    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
21(f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from
22a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a
23certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State
24Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification
25or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's
26previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 733 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic
2year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase
3that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the
4average salary paid for other similar positions in the district
5requiring the same certification or the amount stipulated in
6the collective bargaining agreement for a similar position
7requiring the same certification.
8    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
9(f), the System shall exclude any payment to the teacher from

11which the employer does not have discretion, notwithstanding
12that the payment is included in the computation of final
13average salary.
14    (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under

19determined by the System to be equal to the employer normal
20cost, as established by the System and expressed as a total
21percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of salary in
22excess of the amount of the salary set for the Governor. This
23amount shall be computed by the System on the basis of the
24actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent
25actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time
26of the computation. The System may require the employer to

14    Sec. 16-203. Application and expiration of new benefit
15increases.
16    (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
17an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
18Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
19any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
20to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
21effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
22however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
23the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
2495-910, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, Public Act
25100-743, or Public Act 100-769 or by this amendatory Act of the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 737 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1100th General Assembly.
2    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
3subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
4is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
5only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
6the provisions of this Section.
7    (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
8identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
9funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
10increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
11    Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
12Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
13subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
14Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
15funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
16shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
17Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by a
18Public Act that does not include the additional funding
19required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
20Pension Division determines that the additional funding
21provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is or
22has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
23the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
24by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
25at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
26made.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 738 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
2its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
3in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
4under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
5Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
6by law.
7    (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
8the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
9under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
10and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
11increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
12alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
13other person, including without limitation a person who
14continues in service after the expiration date and did not
15apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
16benefit increase was in effect.

1subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
2Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of
3powers and functions exercised by the State.
4    If a member of the department is appointed chief of police
5or chief of the fire department prior to being eligible to
6retire on pension, he shall be considered as on furlough from
7the rank he held immediately prior to his appointment as chief.
8If he resigns as chief or is discharged as chief prior to
9attaining eligibility to retire on pension, he shall revert to
10and be established in whatever rank he currently holds, except
11for previously appointed positions, and thereafter be entitled
12to all the benefits and emoluments of that rank, without regard
13as to whether a vacancy then exists in that rank.
14    All appointments to each department other than that of the
15lowest rank, however, shall be from the rank next below that to
16which the appointment is made except as otherwise provided in
17this Section, and except that the chief of police and the chief
18of the fire department may be appointed from among members of
19the police and fire departments, respectively, regardless of
20rank, unless the council or board of trustees shall have by
21ordinance as to them otherwise provided. A chief of police or

7board of fire and police commissioners of such municipality,
8upon appointment of such officer or member of the fire and
9police department of such municipality by action of the board
10of fire and police commissioners. After being selected from the
11register of eligibles to fill a vacancy in the affected
12department, each appointee shall be presented with his or her
13certificate of appointment on the day on which he or she is
14sworn in as a classified member of the affected department.
15Firefighters who were not issued a certificate of appointment
16when originally appointed shall be provided with a certificate
17within 10 days after making a written request to the
18chairperson of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. In
19any municipal fire department that employs full-time
20firefighters and is subject to a collective bargaining
21agreement, a person who has not qualified for regular
22appointment under the provisions of this Division 2.1 shall not
23be used as a temporary or permanent substitute for classified
24members of a municipality's fire department or for regular
25appointment as a classified member of a municipality's fire
26department unless mutually agreed to by the employee's

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 841 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1certified bargaining agent. Such agreement shall be considered
2a permissive subject of bargaining. Municipal fire departments
3covered by the changes made by Public Act 95-490 that are using
4non-certificated employees as substitutes immediately prior to
5June 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-490) may, by
6mutual agreement with the certified bargaining agent, continue
7the existing practice or a modified practice and that agreement
8shall be considered a permissive subject of bargaining. A home
9rule unit may not regulate the hiring of temporary or
10substitute members of the municipality's fire department in a
11manner that is inconsistent with this Section. This Section is
12a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII
13of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home
14rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
15    The term "policemen" as used in this Division does not
16include auxiliary police officers except as provided for in
17Section 10-2.1-6.
18    Any full-time member of a regular fire or police department
19of any municipality which comes under the provisions of this
20Division or adopts this Division 2.1 or which has adopted any
21of the prior Acts pertaining to fire and police commissioners,
22is a city officer.
23    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
24Chief of Police of a department in a non-home rule municipality
25of more than 130,000 inhabitants may, without the advice or
26consent of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, appoint

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 842 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 843 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1officers of the municipality's police department, but must have
2at least 5 years of full-time service as a police officer in
3that department. A deputy chief shall serve at the discretion
4of the Chief and, if removed from the position, shall revert to
5the rank currently held, without regard as to whether a vacancy
6exists in that rank. A deputy chief of police, having been
7appointed from any rank of sworn full-time officers of that
8municipality's police department, shall be permitted,
9regardless of rank, to take promotional exams and be promoted
10to a higher classified rank than he currently holds, without
11having to resign as deputy chief of police.
12    No municipality having a population less than 1,000,000
13shall require that any firefighter appointed to the lowest rank
14serve a probationary employment period of longer than one year.
15The limitation on periods of probationary employment provided
16in Public Act 86-990 is an exclusive power and function of the
17State. Pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII
18of the Illinois Constitution, a home rule municipality having a
19population less than 1,000,000 must comply with this limitation
20on periods of probationary employment, which is a denial and
21limitation of home rule powers. Notwithstanding anything to the
22contrary in this Section, the probationary employment period
23limitation may be extended for a firefighter who is required,
24as a condition of employment, to be a licensed paramedic,
25during which time the sole reason that a firefighter may be
26discharged without a hearing is for failing to meet the

1requirements for paramedic licensure.
2    To the extent that this Section or any other Section in
3this Division conflicts with Section 10-2.1-6.3 or 10-2.1-6.4,
4then Section 10-2.1-6.3 or 10-2.1-6.4 shall control.

6    (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the superintendent
7of the district or the principal, assistant principal, or dean
8of students of any school to suspend pupils guilty of gross
9disobedience or misconduct, or to suspend pupils guilty of
10gross disobedience or misconduct on the school bus from riding

5appointed by the board, he shall report to the board a written
6summary of the evidence heard at the meeting. After its hearing
7or upon receipt of the written report of its hearing officer,
8the board may take such action as it finds appropriate. If a

23are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
24and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
25extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them

14other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on
15a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee.

17such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the length
18of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.
19    (b-20) Unless otherwise required by this Code,
20out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions,
21and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used
22only if other appropriate and available behavioral and
23disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the

18    Sec. 22-80. Student athletes; concussions and head
19injuries.
20    (a) The General Assembly recognizes all of the following:
21        (1) Concussions are one of the most commonly reported
22    injuries in children and adolescents who participate in
23    sports and recreational activities. The Centers for
24    Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as
25    3,900,000 sports-related and recreation-related

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 994 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    concussions occur in the United States each year. A
2    concussion is caused by a blow or motion to the head or
3    body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the
4    skull. The risk of catastrophic injuries or death is are
5    significant when a concussion or head injury is not
6    properly evaluated and managed.
7        (2) Concussions are a type of brain injury that can
8    range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain
9    normally works. Concussions can occur in any organized or
10    unorganized sport or recreational activity and can result
11    from a fall or from players colliding with each other, the
12    ground, or with obstacles. Concussions occur with or
13    without loss of consciousness, but the vast majority of
14    concussions occur without loss of consciousness.
15        (3) Continuing to play with a concussion or symptoms of
16    a head injury leaves a young athlete especially vulnerable
17    to greater injury and even death. The General Assembly
18    recognizes that, despite having generally recognized
19    return-to-play standards for concussions and head
20    injuries, some affected youth athletes are prematurely
21    returned to play, resulting in actual or potential physical
22    injury or death to youth athletes in this State.
23        (4) Student athletes who have sustained a concussion
24    may need informal or formal accommodations, modifications
25    of curriculum, and monitoring by medical or academic staff
26    until the student is fully recovered. To that end, all

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 995 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    schools are encouraged to establish a return-to-learn
2    protocol that is based on peer-reviewed scientific
3    evidence consistent with Centers for Disease Control and

2contractual continued service before removing or dismissing
3any teacher who has entered upon contractual continued service
4and who is legally qualified to hold a position currently held
5by a teacher who has not entered upon contractual continued
6service.
7    As between teachers who have entered upon contractual
8continued service, the teacher or teachers with the shorter
9length of continuing service with the district shall be
10dismissed first unless an alternative method of determining the
11sequence of dismissal is established in a collective bargaining
12agreement or contract between the board and a professional
13faculty members' organization and except that this provision
14shall not impair the operation of any affirmative action
15program in the district, regardless of whether it exists by
16operation of law or is conducted on a voluntary basis by the

14such positions, unless an alternative method of determining a
15sequence of dismissal is established as provided for in this
16Section, in which case a list shall be made in accordance with
17the alternative method. Copies of the list shall be distributed
18to the exclusive employee representative on or before February
191 of each year. Whenever the number of honorable dismissal
20notices based upon economic necessity exceeds 5, or 150% of the
21average number of teachers honorably dismissed in the preceding
223 years, whichever is more, then the board also shall hold a
23public hearing on the question of the dismissals. Following the
24hearing and board review, the action to approve any such
25reduction shall require a majority vote of the board members.

5decision of a school board to decrease the number of teachers
6employed by the board, a decision of a school board to
7discontinue some particular type of teaching service, or a
8reduction in the number of programs or positions in a special
9education joint agreement, then written notice must be mailed
10to the teacher and also given to the teacher either by
11certified mail, return receipt requested, or personal delivery
12with receipt at least 45 days before the end of the school
13term, together with a statement of honorable dismissal and the
14reason therefor, and in all such cases the sequence of
15dismissal shall occur in accordance with this subsection (b);
16except that this subsection (b) shall not impair the operation
17of any affirmative action program in the school district,
18regardless of whether it exists by operation of law or is
19conducted on a voluntary basis by the board.
20    Each teacher must be categorized into one or more positions
21for which the teacher is qualified to hold, based upon legal
22qualifications and any other qualifications established in a
23district or joint agreement job description, on or before the
24May 10 prior to the school year during which the sequence of
25dismissal is determined. Within each position and subject to
26agreements made by the joint committee on honorable dismissals

4        (1) Grouping one shall consist of each teacher who is
5    not in contractual continued service and who (i) has not
6    received a performance evaluation rating, (ii) is employed
7    for one school term or less to replace a teacher on leave,
8    or (iii) is employed on a part-time basis. "Part-time
9    basis" for the purposes of this subsection (b) means a

11    teacher workload or less than 5 days of the normal student
12    attendance week, unless otherwise provided for in a
13    collective bargaining agreement between the district and

2        (3) Grouping 3 shall consist of each teacher with a
3    performance evaluation rating of at least Satisfactory or
4    Proficient on both of the teacher's last 2 performance
5    evaluation ratings, if 2 ratings are available, or on the
6    teacher's last performance evaluation rating, if only one
7    rating is available, unless the teacher qualifies for

10    2 performance evaluation ratings are Excellent and each
11    teacher with 2 Excellent performance evaluation ratings
12    out of the teacher's last 3 performance evaluation ratings
13    with a third rating of Satisfactory or Proficient.
14    Among teachers qualified to hold a position, teachers must
15be dismissed in the order of their groupings, with teachers in
16grouping one dismissed first and teachers in grouping 4
17dismissed last.
18    Within grouping one, the sequence of dismissal must be at
19the discretion of the school district or joint agreement.
20Within grouping 2, the sequence of dismissal must be based upon
21average performance evaluation ratings, with the teacher or
22teachers with the lowest average performance evaluation rating
23dismissed first. A teacher's average performance evaluation
24rating must be calculated using the average of the teacher's
25last 2 performance evaluation ratings, if 2 ratings are
26available, or the teacher's last performance evaluation

2numerical values: 4 for Excellent; 3 for Proficient or
3Satisfactory; 2 for Needs Improvement; and 1 for
4Unsatisfactory. As between or among teachers in grouping 2 with
5the same average performance evaluation rating and within each
6of groupings 3 and 4, the teacher or teachers with the shorter
7length of continuing service with the school district or joint
8agreement must be dismissed first unless an alternative method
9of determining the sequence of dismissal is established in a
10collective bargaining agreement or contract between the board
11and a professional faculty members' organization.
12    Each board, including the governing board of a joint
13agreement, shall, in consultation with any exclusive employee
14representatives, each year establish a sequence of honorable
15dismissal list categorized by positions and the groupings
16defined in this subsection (b). Copies of the list showing each
17teacher by name and categorized by positions and the groupings
18defined in this subsection (b) must be distributed to the
19exclusive bargaining representative at least 75 days before the
20end of the school term, provided that the school district or
21joint agreement may, with notice to any exclusive employee
22representatives, move teachers from grouping one into another
23grouping during the period of time from 75 days until 45 days
24before the end of the school term. Each year, each board shall
25also establish, in consultation with any exclusive employee
26representatives, a list showing the length of continuing

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1015 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1service of each teacher who is qualified to hold any such
2positions, unless an alternative method of determining a
3sequence of dismissal is established as provided for in this
4Section, in which case a list must be made in accordance with
5the alternative method. Copies of the list must be distributed
6to the exclusive employee representative at least 75 days
7before the end of the school term.
8    Any teacher dismissed as a result of such decrease or
9discontinuance must be paid all earned compensation on or
10before the third business day following the last day of pupil
11attendance in the regular school term.
12    If the board or joint agreement has any vacancies for the
13following school term or within one calendar year from the
14beginning of the following school term, the positions thereby
15becoming available must be tendered to the teachers so removed
16or dismissed who were in groupings 3 or 4 of the sequence of
17dismissal and are qualified to hold the positions, based upon
18legal qualifications and any other qualifications established
19in a district or joint agreement job description, on or before
20the May 10 prior to the date of the positions becoming
21available, provided that if the number of honorable dismissal
22notices based on economic necessity exceeds 15% of the number
23of full-time equivalent positions filled by certified
24employees (excluding principals and administrative personnel)
25during the preceding school year, then the recall period is for
26the following school term or within 2 calendar years from the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1016 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1beginning of the following school term. If the board or joint
2agreement has any vacancies within the period from the
3beginning of the following school term through February 1 of
4the following school term (unless a date later than February 1,
5but no later than 6 months from the beginning of the following
6school term, is established in a collective bargaining
7agreement), the positions thereby becoming available must be
8tendered to the teachers so removed or dismissed who were in
9grouping 2 of the sequence of dismissal due to one "needs
10improvement" rating on either of the teacher's last 2
11performance evaluation ratings, provided that, if 2 ratings are
12available, the other performance evaluation rating used for
13grouping purposes is "satisfactory", "proficient", or
14"excellent", and are qualified to hold the positions, based
15upon legal qualifications and any other qualifications
16established in a district or joint agreement job description,
17on or before the May 10 prior to the date of the positions
18becoming available. On and after July 1, 2014 (the effective
19date of Public Act 98-648) this amendatory Act of the 98th
20General Assembly, the preceding sentence shall apply to
21teachers removed or dismissed by honorable dismissal, even if
22notice of honorable dismissal occurred during the 2013-2014
23school year. Among teachers eligible for recall pursuant to the
24preceding sentence, the order of recall must be in inverse
25order of dismissal, unless an alternative order of recall is
26established in a collective bargaining agreement or contract

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1017 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1between the board and a professional faculty members'
2organization. Whenever the number of honorable dismissal
3notices based upon economic necessity exceeds 5 notices or 150%
4of the average number of teachers honorably dismissed in the
5preceding 3 years, whichever is more, then the school board or
6governing board of a joint agreement, as applicable, shall also
7hold a public hearing on the question of the dismissals.
8Following the hearing and board review, the action to approve
9any such reduction shall require a majority vote of the board
10members.
11    For purposes of this subsection (b), subject to agreement
12on an alternative definition reached by the joint committee
13described in subsection (c) of this Section, a teacher's
14performance evaluation rating means the overall performance
15evaluation rating resulting from an annual or biennial
16performance evaluation conducted pursuant to Article 24A of
17this Code by the school district or joint agreement determining
18the sequence of dismissal, not including any performance
19evaluation conducted during or at the end of a remediation
20period. No more than one evaluation rating each school term
21shall be one of the evaluation ratings used for the purpose of
22determining the sequence of dismissal. Except as otherwise
23provided in this subsection for any performance evaluations
24conducted during or at the end of a remediation period, if
25multiple performance evaluations are conducted in a school
26term, only the rating from the last evaluation conducted prior

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1018 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1to establishing the sequence of honorable dismissal list in
2such school term shall be the one evaluation rating from that
3school term used for the purpose of determining the sequence of
4dismissal. Averaging ratings from multiple evaluations is not
5permitted unless otherwise agreed to in a collective bargaining
6agreement or contract between the board and a professional
7faculty members' organization. The preceding 3 sentences are
8not a legislative declaration that existing law does or does
9not already require that only one performance evaluation each
10school term shall be used for the purpose of determining the
11sequence of dismissal. For performance evaluation ratings
12determined prior to September 1, 2012, any school district or
13joint agreement with a performance evaluation rating system
14that does not use either of the rating category systems
15specified in subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this Code for
16all teachers must establish a basis for assigning each teacher
17a rating that complies with subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of
18this Code for all of the performance evaluation ratings that
19are to be used to determine the sequence of dismissal. A
20teacher's grouping and ranking on a sequence of honorable
21dismissal shall be deemed a part of the teacher's performance
22evaluation, and that information shall be disclosed to the
23exclusive bargaining representative as part of a sequence of
24honorable dismissal list, notwithstanding any laws prohibiting
25disclosure of such information. A performance evaluation
26rating may be used to determine the sequence of dismissal,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1019 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1notwithstanding the pendency of any grievance resolution or
2arbitration procedures relating to the performance evaluation.
3If a teacher has received at least one performance evaluation
4rating conducted by the school district or joint agreement
5determining the sequence of dismissal and a subsequent
6performance evaluation is not conducted in any school year in
7which such evaluation is required to be conducted under Section
824A-5 of this Code, the teacher's performance evaluation rating
9for that school year for purposes of determining the sequence
10of dismissal is deemed Proficient. If a performance evaluation
11rating is nullified as the result of an arbitration,
12administrative agency, or court determination, then the school
13district or joint agreement is deemed to have conducted a
14performance evaluation for that school year, but the
15performance evaluation rating may not be used in determining
16the sequence of dismissal.
17    Nothing in this subsection (b) shall be construed as
18limiting the right of a school board or governing board of a

1General Assembly that may conflict with Public Act 97-8 this
2amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly shall remain in
3effect through the expiration of such agreement or June 30,
42013, whichever is earlier.
5    (c) Each school district and special education joint
6agreement must use a joint committee composed of equal
7representation selected by the school board and its teachers
8or, if applicable, the exclusive bargaining representative of
9its teachers, to address the matters described in paragraphs
10(1) through (5) of this subsection (c) pertaining to honorable
11dismissals under subsection (b) of this Section.
12        (1) The joint committee must consider and may agree to
13    criteria for excluding from grouping 2 and placing into
14    grouping 3 a teacher whose last 2 performance evaluations
15    include a Needs Improvement and either a Proficient or
16    Excellent.
17        (2) The joint committee must consider and may agree to
18    an alternative definition for grouping 4, which definition
19    must take into account prior performance evaluation
20    ratings and may take into account other factors that relate
21    to the school district's or program's educational
22    objectives. An alternative definition for grouping 4 may
23    not permit the inclusion of a teacher in the grouping with
24    a Needs Improvement or Unsatisfactory performance
25    evaluation rating on either of the teacher's last 2
26    performance evaluation ratings.

1        (3) The joint committee may agree to including within
2    the definition of a performance evaluation rating a
3    performance evaluation rating administered by a school
4    district or joint agreement other than the school district
5    or joint agreement determining the sequence of dismissal.
6        (4) For each school district or joint agreement that
7    administers performance evaluation ratings that are
8    inconsistent with either of the rating category systems
9    specified in subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this Code,
10    the school district or joint agreement must consult with
11    the joint committee on the basis for assigning a rating
12    that complies with subsection (d) of Section 24A-5 of this
13    Code to each performance evaluation rating that will be
14    used in a sequence of dismissal.
15        (5) Upon request by a joint committee member submitted
16    to the employing board by no later than 10 days after the
17    distribution of the sequence of honorable dismissal list, a
18    representative of the employing board shall, within 5 days
19    after the request, provide to members of the joint
20    committee a list showing the most recent and prior
21    performance evaluation ratings of each teacher identified
22    only by length of continuing service in the district or
23    joint agreement and not by name. If, after review of this
24    list, a member of the joint committee has a good faith
25    belief that a disproportionate number of teachers with
26    greater length of continuing service with the district or

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1022 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    joint agreement have received a recent performance
2    evaluation rating lower than the prior rating, the member
3    may request that the joint committee review the list to
4    assess whether such a trend may exist. Following the joint
5    committee's review, but by no later than the end of the
6    applicable school term, the joint committee or any member
7    or members of the joint committee may submit a report of
8    the review to the employing board and exclusive bargaining
9    representative, if any. Nothing in this paragraph (5) shall
10    impact the order of honorable dismissal or a school
11    district's or joint agreement's authority to carry out a
12    dismissal in accordance with subsection (b) of this
13    Section.
14    Agreement by the joint committee as to a matter requires
15the majority vote of all committee members, and if the joint
16committee does not reach agreement on a matter, then the
17otherwise applicable requirements of subsection (b) of this
18Section shall apply. Except as explicitly set forth in this
19subsection (c), a joint committee has no authority to agree to
20any further modifications to the requirements for honorable
21dismissals set forth in subsection (b) of this Section. The
22joint committee must be established, and the first meeting of
23the joint committee each school year must occur on or before
24December 1.

3deadline for agreements, the agreement of a joint committee on
4a matter shall apply to the sequence of dismissal until the
5agreement is amended or terminated by the joint committee.

10subsection (d), the requirements and dismissal procedures of
11Section 24-16.5 of this Code shall apply to any dismissal
12sought under Section 24-16.5 of this Code.
13        (1) If a dismissal of a teacher in contractual
14    continued service is sought for any reason or cause other
15    than an honorable dismissal under subsections (a) or (b) of
16    this Section or a dismissal sought under Section 24-16.5 of
17    this Code, including those under Section 10-22.4, the board
18    must first approve a motion containing specific charges by
19    a majority vote of all its members. Written notice of such
20    charges, including a bill of particulars and the teacher's
21    right to request a hearing, must be mailed to the teacher
22    and also given to the teacher either by certified mail,
23    return receipt requested, or personal delivery with
24    receipt within 5 days of the adoption of the motion. Any
25    written notice sent on or after July 1, 2012 shall inform
26    the teacher of the right to request a hearing before a

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1024 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    mutually selected hearing officer, with the cost of the
2    hearing officer split equally between the teacher and the
3    board, or a hearing before a board-selected hearing
4    officer, with the cost of the hearing officer paid by the
5    board.
6        Before setting a hearing on charges stemming from
7    causes that are considered remediable, a board must give
8    the teacher reasonable warning in writing, stating
9    specifically the causes that, if not removed, may result in
10    charges; however, no such written warning is required if
11    the causes have been the subject of a remediation plan
12    pursuant to Article 24A of this Code.
13        If, in the opinion of the board, the interests of the
14    school require it, the board may suspend the teacher
15    without pay, pending the hearing, but if the board's
16    dismissal or removal is not sustained, the teacher shall
17    not suffer the loss of any salary or benefits by reason of
18    the suspension.
19        (2) No hearing upon the charges is required unless the
20    teacher within 17 days after receiving notice requests in
21    writing of the board that a hearing be scheduled before a
22    mutually selected hearing officer or a hearing officer
23    selected by the board. The secretary of the school board
24    shall forward a copy of the notice to the State Board of
25    Education.
26        (3) Within 5 business days after receiving a notice of

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1025 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    hearing in which either notice to the teacher was sent
2    before July 1, 2012 or, if the notice was sent on or after
3    July 1, 2012, the teacher has requested a hearing before a
4    mutually selected hearing officer, the State Board of
5    Education shall provide a list of 5 prospective, impartial
6    hearing officers from the master list of qualified,
7    impartial hearing officers maintained by the State Board of
8    Education. Each person on the master list must (i) be
9    accredited by a national arbitration organization and have
10    had a minimum of 5 years of experience directly related to
11    labor and employment relations matters between employers
12    and employees or their exclusive bargaining
13    representatives and (ii) beginning September 1, 2012, have
14    participated in training provided or approved by the State
15    Board of Education for teacher dismissal hearing officers
16    so that he or she is familiar with issues generally
17    involved in evaluative and non-evaluative dismissals.
18        If notice to the teacher was sent before July 1, 2012
19    or, if the notice was sent on or after July 1, 2012, the
20    teacher has requested a hearing before a mutually selected
21    hearing officer, the board and the teacher or their legal
22    representatives within 3 business days shall alternately
23    strike one name from the list provided by the State Board
24    of Education until only one name remains. Unless waived by
25    the teacher, the teacher shall have the right to proceed
26    first with the striking. Within 3 business days of receipt

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1026 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    of the list provided by the State Board of Education, the
2    board and the teacher or their legal representatives shall
3    each have the right to reject all prospective hearing
4    officers named on the list and notify the State Board of
5    Education of such rejection. Within 3 business days after
6    receiving this notification, the State Board of Education
7    shall appoint a qualified person from the master list who
8    did not appear on the list sent to the parties to serve as
9    the hearing officer, unless the parties notify it that they
10    have chosen to alternatively select a hearing officer under
11    paragraph (4) of this subsection (d).
12        If the teacher has requested a hearing before a hearing
13    officer selected by the board, the board shall select one
14    name from the master list of qualified impartial hearing
15    officers maintained by the State Board of Education within
16    3 business days after receipt and shall notify the State
17    Board of Education of its selection.
18        A hearing officer mutually selected by the parties,
19    selected by the board, or selected through an alternative
20    selection process under paragraph (4) of this subsection
21    (d) (A) must not be a resident of the school district, (B)
22    must be available to commence the hearing within 75 days
23    and conclude the hearing within 120 days after being
24    selected as the hearing officer, and (C) must issue a
25    decision as to whether the teacher must be dismissed and
26    give a copy of that decision to both the teacher and the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1027 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    board within 30 days from the conclusion of the hearing or
2    closure of the record, whichever is later.
3        (4) In the alternative to selecting a hearing officer
4    from the list received from the State Board of Education or
5    accepting the appointment of a hearing officer by the State
6    Board of Education or if the State Board of Education
7    cannot provide a list or appoint a hearing officer that
8    meets the foregoing requirements, the board and the teacher
9    or their legal representatives may mutually agree to select
10    an impartial hearing officer who is not on the master list
11    either by direct appointment by the parties or by using
12    procedures for the appointment of an arbitrator
13    established by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation
14    Service or the American Arbitration Association. The
15    parties shall notify the State Board of Education of their
16    intent to select a hearing officer using an alternative
17    procedure within 3 business days of receipt of a list of
18    prospective hearing officers provided by the State Board of
19    Education, notice of appointment of a hearing officer by
20    the State Board of Education, or receipt of notice from the
21    State Board of Education that it cannot provide a list that
22    meets the foregoing requirements, whichever is later.
23        (5) If the notice of dismissal was sent to the teacher
24    before July 1, 2012, the fees and costs for the hearing
25    officer must be paid by the State Board of Education. If
26    the notice of dismissal was sent to the teacher on or after

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1028 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    July 1, 2012, the hearing officer's fees and costs must be
2    paid as follows in this paragraph (5). The fees and
3    permissible costs for the hearing officer must be
4    determined by the State Board of Education. If the board
5    and the teacher or their legal representatives mutually
6    agree to select an impartial hearing officer who is not on
7    a list received from the State Board of Education, they may
8    agree to supplement the fees determined by the State Board
9    to the hearing officer, at a rate consistent with the
10    hearing officer's published professional fees. If the
11    hearing officer is mutually selected by the parties, then
12    the board and the teacher or their legal representatives
13    shall each pay 50% of the fees and costs and any
14    supplemental allowance to which they agree. If the hearing
15    officer is selected by the board, then the board shall pay
16    100% of the hearing officer's fees and costs. The fees and
17    costs must be paid to the hearing officer within 14 days
18    after the board and the teacher or their legal
19    representatives receive the hearing officer's decision set
20    forth in paragraph (7) of this subsection (d).
21        (6) The teacher is required to answer the bill of
22    particulars and aver affirmative matters in his or her
23    defense, and the time for initially doing so and the time
24    for updating such answer and defenses after pre-hearing
25    discovery must be set by the hearing officer. The State
26    Board of Education shall promulgate rules so that each

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1029 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    party has a fair opportunity to present its case and to
2    ensure that the dismissal process proceeds in a fair and
3    expeditious manner. These rules shall address, without
4    limitation, discovery and hearing scheduling conferences;
5    the teacher's initial answer and affirmative defenses to
6    the bill of particulars and the updating of that
7    information after pre-hearing discovery; provision for
8    written interrogatories and requests for production of
9    documents; the requirement that each party initially
10    disclose to the other party and then update the disclosure
11    no later than 10 calendar days prior to the commencement of
12    the hearing, the names and addresses of persons who may be
13    called as witnesses at the hearing, a summary of the facts
14    or opinions each witness will testify to, and all other
15    documents and materials, including information maintained
16    electronically, relevant to its own as well as the other
17    party's case (the hearing officer may exclude witnesses and
18    exhibits not identified and shared, except those offered in
19    rebuttal for which the party could not reasonably have
20    anticipated prior to the hearing); pre-hearing discovery
21    and preparation, including provision for written
22    interrogatories and requests for production of documents,
23    provided that discovery depositions are prohibited; the
24    conduct of the hearing; the right of each party to be
25    represented by counsel, the offer of evidence and witnesses
26    and the cross-examination of witnesses; the authority of

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1030 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    the hearing officer to issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces
2    tecum, provided that the hearing officer may limit the
3    number of witnesses to be subpoenaed on behalf of each
4    party to no more than 7; the length of post-hearing briefs;
5    and the form, length, and content of hearing officers'
6    decisions. The hearing officer shall hold a hearing and
7    render a final decision for dismissal pursuant to Article
8    24A of this Code or shall report to the school board
9    findings of fact and a recommendation as to whether or not
10    the teacher must be dismissed for conduct. The hearing
11    officer shall commence the hearing within 75 days and
12    conclude the hearing within 120 days after being selected
13    as the hearing officer, provided that the hearing officer
14    may modify these timelines upon the showing of good cause
15    or mutual agreement of the parties. Good cause for the
16    purpose of this subsection (d) shall mean the illness or
17    otherwise unavoidable emergency of the teacher, district
18    representative, their legal representatives, the hearing
19    officer, or an essential witness as indicated in each
20    party's pre-hearing submission. In a dismissal hearing
21    pursuant to Article 24A of this Code, the hearing officer
22    shall consider and give weight to all of the teacher's
23    evaluations written pursuant to Article 24A that are
24    relevant to the issues in the hearing.
25        Each party shall have no more than 3 days to present
26    its case, unless extended by the hearing officer to enable

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1031 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    a party to present adequate evidence and testimony,
2    including due to the other party's cross-examination of the
3    party's witnesses, for good cause or by mutual agreement of
4    the parties. The State Board of Education shall define in
5    rules the meaning of "day" for such purposes. All testimony
6    at the hearing shall be taken under oath administered by
7    the hearing officer. The hearing officer shall cause a
8    record of the proceedings to be kept and shall employ a
9    competent reporter to take stenographic or stenotype notes
10    of all the testimony. The costs of the reporter's
11    attendance and services at the hearing shall be paid by the
12    party or parties who are responsible for paying the fees
13    and costs of the hearing officer. Either party desiring a
14    transcript of the hearing shall pay for the cost thereof.
15    Any post-hearing briefs must be submitted by the parties by
16    no later than 21 days after a party's receipt of the
17    transcript of the hearing, unless extended by the hearing
18    officer for good cause or by mutual agreement of the
19    parties.
20        (7) The hearing officer shall, within 30 days from the
21    conclusion of the hearing or closure of the record,
22    whichever is later, make a decision as to whether or not
23    the teacher shall be dismissed pursuant to Article 24A of
24    this Code or report to the school board findings of fact
25    and a recommendation as to whether or not the teacher shall
26    be dismissed for cause and shall give a copy of the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1032 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    decision or findings of fact and recommendation to both the
2    teacher and the school board. If a hearing officer fails
3    without good cause, specifically provided in writing to
4    both parties and the State Board of Education, to render a
5    decision or findings of fact and recommendation within 30
6    days after the hearing is concluded or the record is
7    closed, whichever is later, the parties may mutually agree
8    to select a hearing officer pursuant to the alternative
9    procedure, as provided in this Section, to rehear the
10    charges heard by the hearing officer who failed to render a
11    decision or findings of fact and recommendation or to
12    review the record and render a decision. If any hearing
13    officer fails without good cause, specifically provided in
14    writing to both parties and the State Board of Education,
15    to render a decision or findings of fact and recommendation
16    within 30 days after the hearing is concluded or the record
17    is closed, whichever is later, the hearing officer shall be
18    removed from the master list of hearing officers maintained
19    by the State Board of Education for not more than 24
20    months. The parties and the State Board of Education may
21    also take such other actions as it deems appropriate,
22    including recovering, reducing, or withholding any fees
23    paid or to be paid to the hearing officer. If any hearing
24    officer repeats such failure, he or she must be permanently
25    removed from the master list maintained by the State Board
26    of Education and may not be selected by parties through the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1033 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    alternative selection process under this paragraph (7) or
2    paragraph (4) of this subsection (d). The board shall not
3    lose jurisdiction to discharge a teacher if the hearing
4    officer fails to render a decision or findings of fact and
5    recommendation within the time specified in this Section.
6    If the decision of the hearing officer for dismissal
7    pursuant to Article 24A of this Code or of the school board
8    for dismissal for cause is in favor of the teacher, then
9    the hearing officer or school board shall order
10    reinstatement to the same or substantially equivalent
11    position and shall determine the amount for which the
12    school board is liable, including, but not limited to, loss
13    of income and benefits.
14        (8) The school board, within 45 days after receipt of
15    the hearing officer's findings of fact and recommendation
16    as to whether (i) the conduct at issue occurred, (ii) the
17    conduct that did occur was remediable, and (iii) the
18    proposed dismissal should be sustained, shall issue a
19    written order as to whether the teacher must be retained or
20    dismissed for cause from its employ. The school board's
21    written order shall incorporate the hearing officer's
22    findings of fact, except that the school board may modify
23    or supplement the findings of fact if, in its opinion, the
24    findings of fact are against the manifest weight of the
25    evidence.
26        If the school board dismisses the teacher

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1034 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    notwithstanding the hearing officer's findings of fact and
2    recommendation, the school board shall make a conclusion in
3    its written order, giving its reasons therefor, and such
4    conclusion and reasons must be included in its written
5    order. The failure of the school board to strictly adhere
6    to the timelines contained in this Section shall not render
7    it without jurisdiction to dismiss the teacher. The school
8    board shall not lose jurisdiction to discharge the teacher
9    for cause if the hearing officer fails to render a
10    recommendation within the time specified in this Section.
11    The decision of the school board is final, unless reviewed
12    as provided in paragraph (9) of this subsection (d).
13        If the school board retains the teacher, the school
14    board shall enter a written order stating the amount of
15    back pay and lost benefits, less mitigation, to be paid to
16    the teacher, within 45 days after its retention order.
17    Should the teacher object to the amount of the back pay and
18    lost benefits or amount mitigated, the teacher shall give
19    written objections to the amount within 21 days. If the
20    parties fail to reach resolution within 7 days, the dispute
21    shall be referred to the hearing officer, who shall
22    consider the school board's written order and teacher's
23    written objection and determine the amount to which the
24    school board is liable. The costs of the hearing officer's
25    review and determination must be paid by the board.
26        (9) The decision of the hearing officer pursuant to

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1035 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    Article 24A of this Code or of the school board's decision
2    to dismiss for cause is final unless reviewed as provided
3    in Section 24-16 of this Code Act. If the school board's
4    decision to dismiss for cause is contrary to the hearing
5    officer's recommendation, the court on review shall give
6    consideration to the school board's decision and its
7    supplemental findings of fact, if applicable, and the
8    hearing officer's findings of fact and recommendation in
9    making its decision. In the event such review is
10    instituted, the school board shall be responsible for
11    preparing and filing the record of proceedings, and such
12    costs associated therewith must be divided equally between
13    the parties.
14        (10) If a decision of the hearing officer for dismissal
15    pursuant to Article 24A of this Code or of the school board
16    for dismissal for cause is adjudicated upon review or
17    appeal in favor of the teacher, then the trial court shall
18    order reinstatement and shall remand the matter to the
19    school board with direction for entry of an order setting
20    the amount of back pay, lost benefits, and costs, less
21    mitigation. The teacher may challenge the school board's
22    order setting the amount of back pay, lost benefits, and
23    costs, less mitigation, through an expedited arbitration
24    procedure, with the costs of the arbitrator borne by the
25    school board.
26        Any teacher who is reinstated by any hearing or

2    by the board to a position substantially similar to the one
3    which that teacher held prior to that teacher's suspension
4    or dismissal.
5        (11) Subject to any later effective date referenced in
6    this Section for a specific aspect of the dismissal
7    process, the changes made by Public Act 97-8 shall apply to
8    dismissals instituted on or after September 1, 2011. Any
9    dismissal instituted prior to September 1, 2011 must be
10    carried out in accordance with the requirements of this
11    Section prior to amendment by Public Act 97-8.

9    review and include relevant members of the Section 504 plan
10    team.
11        (3) For any child currently being evaluated by a school
12    district for a disability or for whom the school has a
13    basis of knowledge that the child is a child with a
14    disability under 20 U.S.C. 1415(k)(5), the completion of
15    the evaluation and determination of the child's
16    eligibility for special education services.
17    (d) Before a school district may refer a person having
18custody or control of a child to a local public entity under
19this Section, the school district must document any appropriate
20and available supportive services offered to the child. In the

22district must have documentation that it made reasonable
23efforts to convene the meeting at a mutually convenient time
24and date for the school district and the person having custody
25or control of the child and, but for the conduct of that
26person, the meeting would have occurred.

5minimum, must recommend the use of validated screening tools
6appropriate to the child's age or grade, and, with regard to
7the social and emotional screening, require recording only
8whether or not the screening was completed. The rules shall
9take into consideration the screening recommendations of the
10American Academy of Pediatrics and must be consistent with the
11State Board of Education's social and emotional learning
12standards. The Department of Public Health shall specify that a
13diabetes screening as defined by rule shall be included as a
14required part of each health examination. Diabetes testing is

HB3249 Enrolled- 1046 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1medicine in all of its branches must review and sign all
2required report forms. Licensed dentists shall perform all
3dental examinations and shall sign all report forms required by
4subsection (4) of this Section that pertain to the dental
5examinations. Physicians licensed to practice medicine in all
6its branches or licensed optometrists shall perform all eye

10examination shall at a minimum include history, visual acuity,
11subjective refraction to best visual acuity near and far,
12internal and external examination, and a glaucoma evaluation,
13as well as any other tests or observations that in the

16examinations as that term is used in this Section, shall be
17conducted in accordance with rules and regulations of the
18Department of Public Health, and by individuals whom the
19Department of Public Health has certified. In these rules and
20regulations, the Department of Public Health shall require that
21individuals conducting vision screening tests give a child's
22parent or guardian written notification, before the vision
23screening is conducted, that states, "Vision screening is not a
24substitute for a complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye
25doctor. Your child is not required to undergo this vision
26screening if an optometrist or ophthalmologist has completed

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1047 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1and signed a report form indicating that an examination has
2been administered within the previous 12 months.".
3    (2.5) With respect to the developmental screening and the
4social and emotional screening portion of the health
5examination, each child may present proof of having been
6screened in accordance with this Section and the rules adopted
7under this Section before October 15th of the school year. With
8regard to the social and emotional screening only, the
9examining health care provider shall only record whether or not
10the screening was completed. If the child fails to present
11proof of the developmental screening or the social and
12emotional screening portions of the health examination by
13October 15th of the school year, qualified school support
14personnel may, with a parent's or guardian's consent, offer the
15developmental screening or the social and emotional screening
16to the child. Each public, private, and parochial school must
17give notice of the developmental screening and social and
18emotional screening requirements to the parents and guardians
19of students in compliance with the rules of the Department of
20Public Health. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
21allow a school to exclude a child from attending because of a
22parent's or guardian's failure to obtain a developmental
23screening or a social and emotional screening for the child.
24Once a developmental screening or a social and emotional
25screening is completed and proof has been presented to the
26school, the school may, with a parent's or guardian's consent,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1048 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1make available appropriate school personnel to work with the
2parent or guardian, the child, and the provider who signed the
3screening form to obtain any appropriate evaluations and
4services as indicated on the form and in other information and
5documentation provided by the parents, guardians, or provider.
6    (3) Every child shall, at or about the same time as he or
7she receives a health examination required by subsection (1) of
8this Section, present to the local school proof of having

18date of birth, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, and date
19of exam), on uniform forms which the Department of Public
20Health and the State Board of Education shall prescribe for
21statewide use. The examiner shall summarize on the report form
22any condition that he or she suspects indicates a need for
23special services, including for a health examination factors
24relating to asthma or obesity. The duty to summarize on the
25report form does not apply to social and emotional screenings.
26The confidentiality of the information and records relating to

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1049 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1the developmental screening and the social and emotional
2screening shall be determined by the statutes, rules, and
3professional ethics governing the type of provider conducting
4the screening. The individuals confirming the administration
5of required immunizations shall record as indicated on the form
6that the immunizations were administered.
7    (5) If a child does not submit proof of having had either
8the health examination or the immunization as required, then
9the child shall be examined or receive the immunization, as the
10case may be, and present proof by October 15 of the current
11school year, or by an earlier date of the current school year
12established by a school district. To establish a date before
13October 15 of the current school year for the health
14examination or immunization as required, a school district must
15give notice of the requirements of this Section 60 days prior
16to the earlier established date. If for medical reasons one or
17more of the required immunizations must be given after October
1815 of the current school year, or after an earlier established
19date of the current school year, then the child shall present,
20by October 15, or by the earlier established date, a schedule

22the medical reasons causing the delay, both the schedule and
23the statement being issued by the physician, advanced practice
24registered nurse, physician assistant, registered nurse, or
25local health department that will be responsible for
26administration of the remaining required immunizations. If a

1child does not comply by October 15, or by the earlier
2established date of the current school year, with the
3requirements of this subsection, then the local school
4authority shall exclude that child from school until such time
5as the child presents proof of having had the health
6examination as required and presents proof of having received
7those required immunizations which are medically possible to
8receive immediately. During a child's exclusion from school for
9noncompliance with this subsection, the child's parents or
10legal guardian shall be considered in violation of Section 26-1
11and subject to any penalty imposed by Section 26-10. This
12subsection (5) does not apply to dental examinations, eye
13examinations, and the developmental screening and the social
14and emotional screening portions of the health examination. If
15the student is an out-of-state transfer student and does not
16have the proof required under this subsection (5) before

18school district, then he or she may only attend classes (i) if
19he or she has proof that an appointment for the required
20vaccinations has been scheduled with a party authorized to
21submit proof of the required vaccinations. If the proof of
22vaccination required under this subsection (5) is not submitted
23within 30 days after the student is permitted to attend
24classes, then the student is not to be permitted to attend
25classes until proof of the vaccinations has been properly
26submitted. No school district or employee of a school district

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1051 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1shall be held liable for any injury or illness to another
2person that results from admitting an out-of-state transfer
3student to class that has an appointment scheduled pursuant to
4this subsection (5).
5    (6) Every school shall report to the State Board of
6Education by November 15, in the manner which that agency shall
7require, the number of children who have received the necessary
8immunizations and the health examination (other than a dental
9examination or eye examination) as required, indicating, of
10those who have not received the immunizations and examination
11as required, the number of children who are exempt from health
12examination and immunization requirements on religious or
13medical grounds as provided in subsection (8). On or before
14December 1 of each year, every public school district and
15registered nonpublic school shall make publicly available the
16immunization data they are required to submit to the State
17Board of Education by November 15. The immunization data made
18publicly available must be identical to the data the school
19district or school has reported to the State Board of
20Education.
21    Every school shall report to the State Board of Education
22by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the
23number of children who have received the required dental
24examination, indicating, of those who have not received the
25required dental examination, the number of children who are
26exempt from the dental examination on religious grounds as

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1052 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1provided in subsection (8) of this Section and the number of
2children who have received a waiver under subsection (1.5) of
3this Section.
4    Every school shall report to the State Board of Education
5by June 30, in the manner that the State Board requires, the
6number of children who have received the required eye
7examination, indicating, of those who have not received the
8required eye examination, the number of children who are exempt
9from the eye examination as provided in subsection (8) of this
10Section, the number of children who have received a waiver
11under subsection (1.10) of this Section, and the total number
12of children in noncompliance with the eye examination
13requirement.
14    The reported information under this subsection (6) shall be
15provided to the Department of Public Health by the State Board
16of Education.
17    (7) Upon determining that the number of pupils who are
18required to be in compliance with subsection (5) of this
19Section is below 90% of the number of pupils enrolled in the
20school district, 10% of each State aid payment made pursuant to
21Section 18-8.05 or 18-8.15 to the school district for such year
22may be withheld by the State Board of Education until the
23number of students in compliance with subsection (5) is the
24applicable specified percentage or higher.
25    (8) Children of parents or legal guardians who object to
26health, dental, or eye examinations or any part thereof, to

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1053 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1immunizations, or to vision and hearing screening tests on
2religious grounds shall not be required to undergo the
3examinations, tests, or immunizations to which they so object
4if such parents or legal guardians present to the appropriate
5local school authority a signed Certificate of Religious
6Exemption detailing the grounds for objection and the specific
7immunizations, tests, or examinations to which they object. The
8grounds for objection must set forth the specific religious
9belief that conflicts with the examination, test,
10immunization, or other medical intervention. The signed
11certificate shall also reflect the parent's or legal guardian's
12understanding of the school's exclusion policies in the case of
13a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak or exposure. The
14certificate must also be signed by the authorized examining
15health care provider responsible for the performance of the
16child's health examination confirming that the provider
17provided education to the parent or legal guardian on the
18benefits of immunization and the health risks to the student
19and to the community of the communicable diseases for which
20immunization is required in this State. However, the health
21care provider's signature on the certificate reflects only that
22education was provided and does not allow a health care
23provider grounds to determine a religious exemption. Those
24receiving immunizations required under this Code shall be
25provided with the relevant vaccine information statements that
26are required to be disseminated by the federal National

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1054 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, which may contain
2information on circumstances when a vaccine should not be
3administered, prior to administering a vaccine. A healthcare
4provider may consider including without limitation the
5nationally accepted recommendations from federal agencies such
6as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the
7information outlined in the relevant vaccine information
8statement, and vaccine package inserts, along with the
9healthcare provider's clinical judgment, to determine whether
10any child may be more susceptible to experiencing an adverse
11vaccine reaction than the general population, and, if so, the
12healthcare provider may exempt the child from an immunization
13or adopt an individualized immunization schedule. The
14Certificate of Religious Exemption shall be created by the
15Department of Public Health and shall be made available and
16used by parents and legal guardians by the beginning of the
172015-2016 school year. Parents or legal guardians must submit
18the Certificate of Religious Exemption to their local school
19authority prior to entering kindergarten, sixth grade, and
20ninth grade for each child for which they are requesting an
21exemption. The religious objection stated need not be directed

11published priority deadline date shall receive a grant if he or
12she continues to meet the eligibility requirements under this
13Section. A renewing applicant's failure to apply by the
14priority deadline date established under this subsection (d-5)
15shall not disqualify him or her from receiving a grant if
16sufficient funding is available to provide awards after that
17date.
18    (e) The Commission, in determining the number of grants to
19be offered, shall take into consideration past experience with
20the rate of grant funds unclaimed by recipients. The Commission
21shall notify applicants that grant assistance is contingent
22upon the availability of appropriated funds.
23    (e-5) The General Assembly finds and declares that it is an
24important purpose of the Monetary Award Program to facilitate
25access to college both for students who pursue postsecondary
26education immediately following high school and for those who

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1091 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1pursue postsecondary education later in life, particularly
2Illinoisans who are dislocated workers with financial need and
3who are seeking to improve their economic position through
4education. For the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic years, the
5Commission shall give additional and specific consideration to
6the needs of dislocated workers with the intent of allowing
7applicants who are dislocated workers an opportunity to secure
8financial assistance even if applying later than the general
9pool of applicants. The Commission's consideration shall
10include, in determining the number of grants to be offered, an
11estimate of the resources needed to serve dislocated workers
12who apply after the Commission initially suspends award
13announcements for the upcoming regular academic year, but prior
14to the beginning of that academic year. For the purposes of
15this subsection (e-5), a dislocated worker is defined as in the
16federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.

20    (Section scheduled to be repealed on October 1, 2024)
21    Sec. 65.100. AIM HIGH Grant Pilot Program.
22    (a) The General Assembly makes all of the following
23findings:
24        (1) Both access and affordability are important
25    aspects of the Illinois Public Agenda for College and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1095 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    Career Success report.
2        (2) This State is in the top quartile with respect to
3    the percentage of family income needed to pay for college.
4        (3) Research suggests that as loan amounts increase,
5    rather than an increase in grant amounts, the probability
6    of college attendance decreases.
7        (4) There is further research indicating that
8    socioeconomic status may affect the willingness of
9    students to use loans to attend college.
10        (5) Strategic use of tuition discounting can decrease
11    the amount of loans that students must use to pay for
12    tuition.
13        (6) A modest, individually tailored tuition discount
14    can make the difference in a student choosing to attend
15    college and enhance college access for low-income and
16    middle-income families.
17        (7) Even if the federally calculated financial need for
18    college attendance is met, the federally determined
19    Expected Family Contribution can still be a daunting
20    amount.
21        (8) This State is the second largest exporter of
22    students in the country.
23        (9) When talented Illinois students attend
24    universities in this State, the State and those
25    universities benefit.
26        (10) State universities in other states have adopted

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1096 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    pricing and incentives that allow many Illinois residents
2    to pay less to attend an out-of-state university than to
3    remain in this State for college.
4        (11) Supporting Illinois student attendance at
5    Illinois public universities can assist in State efforts to
6    maintain and educate a highly trained workforce.
7        (12) Modest tuition discounts that are individually
8    targeted and tailored can result in enhanced revenue for
9    public universities.
10        (13) By increasing a public university's capacity to
11    strategically use tuition discounting, the public
12    university will be capable of creating enhanced tuition
13    revenue by increasing enrollment yields.
14    (b) In this Section:
15    "Eligible applicant" means a student from any high school
16in this State, whether or not recognized by the State Board of

20    (a) For purposes of this Section, "reorganization" means
21any transaction which, regardless of the means by which it is
22accomplished, results in a change in the ownership of a
23majority of the voting capital stock of an Illinois public
24utility; or the ownership or control of any entity which owns
25or controls a majority of the voting capital stock of a public

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1266 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1utility; or by which 2 public utilities merge, or by which a
2public utility acquires substantially all of the assets of
3another public utility; provided, however, that
4"reorganization" as used in this Section shall not include a
5mortgage or pledge transaction entered into to secure a bona
6fide borrowing by the party granting the mortgage or making the
7pledge.
8    In addition to the foregoing, "reorganization" shall
9include for purposes of this Section any transaction which,
10regardless of the means by which it is accomplished, will have
11the effect of terminating the affiliated interest status of any
12entity as defined in paragraph paragraphs (a), (b), (c) or (d)
13of subsection (2) of Section 7-101 of this Act where such
14entity had transactions with the public utility, in the 12
15calendar months immediately preceding the date of termination
16of such affiliated interest status subject to subsection (3) of
17Section 7-101 of this Act with a value greater than 15% of the
18public utility's revenues for that same 12-month period. If the
19proposed transaction would have the effect of terminating the
20affiliated interest status of more than one Illinois public
21utility, the utility with the greatest revenues for the
2212-month period shall be used to determine whether such
23proposed transaction is a reorganization for the purposes of
24this Section. The Commission shall have jurisdiction over any
25reorganization as defined herein.
26    (b) No reorganization shall take place without prior

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1267 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1Commission approval. The Commission shall not approve any
2proposed reorganization if the Commission finds, after notice
3and hearing, that the reorganization will adversely affect the
4utility's ability to perform its duties under this Act. The
5Commission shall not approve any proposed reorganization
6unless the Commission finds, after notice and hearing, that:
7        (1) the proposed reorganization will not diminish the
8    utility's ability to provide adequate, reliable,
9    efficient, safe and least-cost public utility service;
10        (2) the proposed reorganization will not result in the
11    unjustified subsidization of non-utility activities by the
12    utility or its customers;
13        (3) costs and facilities are fairly and reasonably
14    allocated between utility and non-utility activities in
15    such a manner that the Commission may identify those costs
16    and facilities which are properly included by the utility
17    for ratemaking purposes;

8    Sec. 8-103B. Energy efficiency and demand-response
9measures.
10    (a) It is the policy of the State that electric utilities
11are required to use cost-effective energy efficiency and
12demand-response measures to reduce delivery load. Requiring
13investment in cost-effective energy efficiency and
14demand-response measures will reduce direct and indirect costs
15to consumers by decreasing environmental impacts and by
16avoiding or delaying the need for new generation, transmission,
17and distribution infrastructure. It serves the public interest
18to allow electric utilities to recover costs for reasonably and
19prudently incurred expenditures for energy efficiency and
20demand-response measures. As used in this Section,
21"cost-effective" means that the measures satisfy the total
22resource cost test. The low-income measures described in
23subsection (c) of this Section shall not be required to meet
24the total resource cost test. For purposes of this Section, the
25terms "energy-efficiency", "demand-response", "electric

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1270 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1utility", and "total resource cost test" have the meanings set
2forth in the Illinois Power Agency Act.
3    (a-5) This Section applies to electric utilities serving
4more than 500,000 retail customers in the State for those
5multi-year plans commencing after December 31, 2017.
6    (b) For purposes of this Section, electric utilities
7subject to this Section that serve more than 3,000,000 retail
8customers in the State shall be deemed to have achieved a
9cumulative persisting annual savings of 6.6% from energy
10efficiency measures and programs implemented during the period
11beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2017, which
12percent is based on the deemed average weather normalized sales
13of electric power and energy during calendar years 2014, 2015,
14and 2016 of 88,000,000 MWhs. For the purposes of this
15subsection (b) and subsection (b-5), the 88,000,000 MWhs of
16deemed electric power and energy sales shall be reduced by the
17number of MWhs equal to the sum of the annual consumption of
18customers that are exempt from subsections (a) through (j) of
19this Section under subsection (l) of this Section, as averaged
20across the calendar years 2014, 2015, and 2016. After 2017, the
21deemed value of cumulative persisting annual savings from
22energy efficiency measures and programs implemented during the
23period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2017,
24shall be reduced each year, as follows, and the applicable
25value shall be applied to and count toward the utility's
26achievement of the cumulative persisting annual savings goals

8minimum of 7%, for electric utilities that serve less than
93,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
10customers in the State, of the utility's entire portfolio
11funding level for a given year shall be used to procure
12cost-effective energy efficiency measures from units of local
13government, municipal corporations, school districts, public
14housing, and community college districts, provided that a
15minimum percentage of available funds shall be used to procure
16energy efficiency from public housing, which percentage shall
17be equal to public housing's share of public building energy
18consumption.
19    The utilities shall also implement energy efficiency
20measures targeted at low-income households, which, for
21purposes of this Section, shall be defined as households at or
22below 80% of area median income, and expenditures to implement
23the measures shall be no less than $25,000,000 per year for
24electric utilities that serve more than 3,000,000 retail
25customers in the State and no less than $8,350,000 per year for

2    Each electric utility shall assess opportunities to
3implement cost-effective energy efficiency measures and
4programs through a public housing authority or authorities
5located in its service territory. If such opportunities are
6identified, the utility shall propose such measures and
7programs to address the opportunities. Expenditures to address
8such opportunities shall be credited toward the minimum
9procurement and expenditure requirements set forth in this
10subsection (c).
11    Implementation of energy efficiency measures and programs
12targeted at low-income households should be contracted, when it
13is practicable, to independent third parties that have
14demonstrated capabilities to serve such households, with a
15preference for not-for-profit entities and government agencies
16that have existing relationships with or experience serving
17low-income communities in the State.
18    Each electric utility shall develop and implement
19reporting procedures that address and assist in determining the
20amount of energy savings that can be applied to the low-income
21procurement and expenditure requirements set forth in this
22subsection (c).
23    The electric utilities shall also convene a low-income
24energy efficiency advisory committee to assist in the design
25and evaluation of the low-income energy efficiency programs.

11customers, except as provided in subsection (l) of this
12Section, as follows, provided that nothing in this subsection
13(d) permits the double recovery of such costs from customers:
14        (1) The utility may recover its costs through an
15    automatic adjustment clause tariff filed with and approved
16    by the Commission. The tariff shall be established outside
17    the context of a general rate case. Each year the
18    Commission shall initiate a review to reconcile any amounts
19    collected with the actual costs and to determine the
20    required adjustment to the annual tariff factor to match
21    annual expenditures. To enable the financing of the
22    incremental capital expenditures, including regulatory
23    assets, for electric utilities that serve less than
24    3,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
25    customers in the State, the utility's actual year-end
26    capital structure that includes a common equity ratio,

4        (2) A utility may recover its costs through an energy
5    efficiency formula rate approved by the Commission under a
6    filing under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, which
7    shall specify the cost components that form the basis of
8    the rate charged to customers with sufficient specificity
9    to operate in a standardized manner and be updated annually
10    with transparent information that reflects the utility's
11    actual costs to be recovered during the applicable rate
12    year, which is the period beginning with the first billing
13    day of January and extending through the last billing day
14    of the following December. The energy efficiency formula
15    rate shall be implemented through a tariff filed with the
16    Commission under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section
17    that is consistent with the provisions of this paragraph
18    (2) and that shall be applicable to all delivery services

20    of the tariff in a manner consistent with the provisions of
21    this paragraph (2), subsections (f) and (g) of this
22    Section, and the provisions of Article IX of this Act to
23    the extent they do not conflict with this paragraph (2).
24    The energy efficiency formula rate approved by the
25    Commission shall remain in effect at the discretion of the
26    utility and shall do the following:

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1284 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            (A) Provide for the recovery of the utility's
2        actual costs incurred under this Section that are
3        prudently incurred and reasonable in amount consistent
4        with Commission practice and law. The sole fact that a
5        cost differs from that incurred in a prior calendar
6        year or that an investment is different from that made
7        in a prior calendar year shall not imply the imprudence
8        or unreasonableness of that cost or investment.
9            (B) Reflect the utility's actual year-end capital
10        structure for the applicable calendar year, excluding
11        goodwill, subject to a determination of prudence and
12        reasonableness consistent with Commission practice and
13        law. To enable the financing of the incremental capital
14        expenditures, including regulatory assets, for
15        electric utilities that serve less than 3,000,000
16        retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
17        customers in the State, a participating electric
18        utility's actual year-end capital structure that
19        includes a common equity ratio, excluding goodwill, of
20        up to and including 50% of the total capital structure
21        shall be deemed reasonable and used to set rates.
22            (C) Include a cost of equity, which shall be
23        calculated as the sum of the following:
24                (i) the average for the applicable calendar
25            year of the monthly average yields of 30-year U.S.
26            Treasury bonds published by the Board of Governors

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1285 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            of the Federal Reserve System in its weekly H.15
2            Statistical Release or successor publication; and
3                (ii) 580 basis points.
4            At such time as the Board of Governors of the
5        Federal Reserve System ceases to include the monthly
6        average yields of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds in its
7        weekly H.15 Statistical Release or successor
8        publication, the monthly average yields of the U.S.
9        Treasury bonds then having the longest duration
10        published by the Board of Governors in its weekly H.15
11        Statistical Release or successor publication shall
12        instead be used for purposes of this paragraph (2).
13            (D) Permit and set forth protocols, subject to a
14        determination of prudence and reasonableness
15        consistent with Commission practice and law, for the
16        following:
17                (i) recovery of incentive compensation expense
18            that is based on the achievement of operational
19            metrics, including metrics related to budget
20            controls, outage duration and frequency, safety,
21            customer service, efficiency and productivity, and
22            environmental compliance; however, this protocol
23            shall not apply if such expense related to costs
24            incurred under this Section is recovered under
25            Article IX or Section 16-108.5 of this Act;
26            incentive compensation expense that is based on

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1286 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            net income or an affiliate's earnings per share
2            shall not be recoverable under the energy
3            efficiency formula rate;
4                (ii) recovery of pension and other
5            post-employment benefits expense, provided that
6            such costs are supported by an actuarial study;
7            however, this protocol shall not apply if such
8            expense related to costs incurred under this
9            Section is recovered under Article IX or Section
10            16-108.5 of this Act;
11                (iii) recovery of existing regulatory assets
12            over the periods previously authorized by the
13            Commission;
14                (iv) as described in subsection (e),
15            amortization of costs incurred under this Section;
16            and
17                (v) projected, weather normalized billing
18            determinants for the applicable rate year.
19            (E) Provide for an annual reconciliation, as
20        described in paragraph (3) of this subsection (d), less
21        any deferred taxes related to the reconciliation, with
22        interest at an annual rate of return equal to the
23        utility's weighted average cost of capital, including
24        a revenue conversion factor calculated to recover or
25        refund all additional income taxes that may be payable
26        or receivable as a result of that return, of the energy

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1287 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        efficiency revenue requirement reflected in rates for
2        each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year in
3        which the utility files its energy efficiency formula
4        rate tariff under this paragraph (2), with what the
5        revenue requirement would have been had the actual cost
6        information for the applicable calendar year been
7        available at the filing date.
8        The utility shall file, together with its tariff, the
9    projected costs to be incurred by the utility during the
10    rate year under the utility's multi-year plan approved
11    under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, including,
12    but not limited to, the projected capital investment costs
13    and projected regulatory asset balances with
14    correspondingly updated depreciation and amortization
15    reserves and expense, that shall populate the energy
16    efficiency formula rate and set the initial rates under the
17    formula.
18        The Commission shall review the proposed tariff in
19    conjunction with its review of a proposed multi-year plan,
20    as specified in paragraph (5) of subsection (g) of this
21    Section. The review shall be based on the same evidentiary
22    standards, including, but not limited to, those concerning
23    the prudence and reasonableness of the costs incurred by
24    the utility, the Commission applies in a hearing to review
25    a filing for a general increase in rates under Article IX
26    of this Act. The initial rates shall take effect beginning

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1288 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    with the January monthly billing period following the
2    Commission's approval.
3        The tariff's rate design and cost allocation across
4    customer classes shall be consistent with the utility's
5    automatic adjustment clause tariff in effect on June 1,
6    2017 (the effective date of Public Act 99-906) this
7    amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly; however, the
8    Commission may revise the tariff's rate design and cost
9    allocation in subsequent proceedings under paragraph (3)
10    of this subsection (d).
11        If the energy efficiency formula rate is terminated,
12    the then current rates shall remain in effect until such
13    time as the energy efficiency costs are incorporated into
14    new rates that are set under this subsection (d) or Article
15    IX of this Act, subject to retroactive rate adjustment,
16    with interest, to reconcile rates charged with actual
17    costs.
18        (3) The provisions of this paragraph (3) shall only
19    apply to an electric utility that has elected to file an
20    energy efficiency formula rate under paragraph (2) of this
21    subsection (d). Subsequent to the Commission's issuance of
22    an order approving the utility's energy efficiency formula
23    rate structure and protocols, and initial rates under
24    paragraph (2) of this subsection (d), the utility shall
25    file, on or before June 1 of each year, with the Chief
26    Clerk of the Commission its updated cost inputs to the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1289 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    energy efficiency formula rate for the applicable rate year
2    and the corresponding new charges, as well as the
3    information described in paragraph (9) of subsection (g) of
4    this Section. Each such filing shall conform to the
5    following requirements and include the following
6    information:
7            (A) The inputs to the energy efficiency formula
8        rate for the applicable rate year shall be based on the
9        projected costs to be incurred by the utility during
10        the rate year under the utility's multi-year plan
11        approved under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section,
12        including, but not limited to, projected capital
13        investment costs and projected regulatory asset
14        balances with correspondingly updated depreciation and
15        amortization reserves and expense. The filing shall
16        also include a reconciliation of the energy efficiency
17        revenue requirement that was in effect for the prior
18        rate year (as set by the cost inputs for the prior rate
19        year) with the actual revenue requirement for the prior
20        rate year (determined using a year-end rate base) that
21        uses amounts reflected in the applicable FERC Form 1
22        that reports the actual costs for the prior rate year.
23        Any over-collection or under-collection indicated by
24        such reconciliation shall be reflected as a credit
25        against, or recovered as an additional charge to,
26        respectively, with interest calculated at a rate equal

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1290 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        to the utility's weighted average cost of capital
2        approved by the Commission for the prior rate year, the
3        charges for the applicable rate year. Such
4        over-collection or under-collection shall be adjusted
5        to remove any deferred taxes related to the
6        reconciliation, for purposes of calculating interest
7        at an annual rate of return equal to the utility's
8        weighted average cost of capital approved by the
9        Commission for the prior rate year, including a revenue
10        conversion factor calculated to recover or refund all
11        additional income taxes that may be payable or
12        receivable as a result of that return. Each
13        reconciliation shall be certified by the participating
14        utility in the same manner that FERC Form 1 is
15        certified. The filing shall also include the charge or
16        credit, if any, resulting from the calculation
17        required by subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of this
18        subsection (d).
19            Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
20        contrary, the intent of the reconciliation is to
21        ultimately reconcile both the revenue requirement
22        reflected in rates for each calendar year, beginning
23        with the calendar year in which the utility files its
24        energy efficiency formula rate tariff under paragraph
25        (2) of this subsection (d), with what the revenue
26        requirement determined using a year-end rate base for

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1291 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        the applicable calendar year would have been had the
2        actual cost information for the applicable calendar
3        year been available at the filing date.
4            For purposes of this Section, "FERC Form 1" means
5        the Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities,
6        Licensees and Others that electric utilities are
7        required to file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
8        Commission under the Federal Power Act, Sections 3,
9        4(a), 304 and 209, modified as necessary to be
10        consistent with 83 Ill. Admin. Code Part 415 as of May
11        1, 2011. Nothing in this Section is intended to allow
12        costs that are not otherwise recoverable to be
13        recoverable by virtue of inclusion in FERC Form 1.
14            (B) The new charges shall take effect beginning on
15        the first billing day of the following January billing
16        period and remain in effect through the last billing
17        day of the next December billing period regardless of
18        whether the Commission enters upon a hearing under this
19        paragraph (3).
20            (C) The filing shall include relevant and
21        necessary data and documentation for the applicable
22        rate year. Normalization adjustments shall not be
23        required.
24        Within 45 days after the utility files its annual
25    update of cost inputs to the energy efficiency formula
26    rate, the Commission shall with reasonable notice,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1292 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    initiate a proceeding concerning whether the projected
2    costs to be incurred by the utility and recovered during
3    the applicable rate year, and that are reflected in the
4    inputs to the energy efficiency formula rate, are
5    consistent with the utility's approved multi-year plan
6    under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section and whether
7    the costs incurred by the utility during the prior rate
8    year were prudent and reasonable. The Commission shall also
9    have the authority to investigate the information and data
10    described in paragraph (9) of subsection (g) of this
11    Section, including the proposed adjustment to the
12    utility's return on equity component of its weighted
13    average cost of capital. During the course of the
14    proceeding, each objection shall be stated with
15    particularity and evidence provided in support thereof,
16    after which the utility shall have the opportunity to rebut
17    the evidence. Discovery shall be allowed consistent with
18    the Commission's Rules of Practice, which Rules of Practice
19    shall be enforced by the Commission or the assigned
20    administrative law judge. The Commission shall apply the
21    same evidentiary standards, including, but not limited to,
22    those concerning the prudence and reasonableness of the
23    costs incurred by the utility, during the proceeding as it
24    would apply in a proceeding to review a filing for a
25    general increase in rates under Article IX of this Act. The
26    Commission shall not, however, have the authority in a

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1293 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    proceeding under this paragraph (3) to consider or order
2    any changes to the structure or protocols of the energy
3    efficiency formula rate approved under paragraph (2) of
4    this subsection (d). In a proceeding under this paragraph
5    (3), the Commission shall enter its order no later than the
6    earlier of 195 days after the utility's filing of its
7    annual update of cost inputs to the energy efficiency
8    formula rate or December 15. The utility's proposed return
9    on equity calculation, as described in paragraphs (7)
10    through (9) of subsection (g) of this Section, shall be
11    deemed the final, approved calculation on December 15 of
12    the year in which it is filed unless the Commission enters
13    an order on or before December 15, after notice and
14    hearing, that modifies such calculation consistent with
15    this Section. The Commission's determinations of the
16    prudence and reasonableness of the costs incurred, and
17    determination of such return on equity calculation, for the
18    applicable calendar year shall be final upon entry of the
19    Commission's order and shall not be subject to reopening,
20    reexamination, or collateral attack in any other
21    Commission proceeding, case, docket, order, rule, or
22    regulation; however, nothing in this paragraph (3) shall
23    prohibit a party from petitioning the Commission to rehear
24    or appeal to the courts the order under the provisions of
25    this Act.
26    (e) Beginning on June 1, 2017 (the effective date of Public

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1294 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1Act 99-906) this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, a
2utility subject to the requirements of this Section may elect
3to defer, as a regulatory asset, up to the full amount of its
4expenditures incurred under this Section for each annual
5period, including, but not limited to, any expenditures
6incurred above the funding level set by subsection (f) of this
7Section for a given year. The total expenditures deferred as a
8regulatory asset in a given year shall be amortized and
9recovered over a period that is equal to the weighted average
10of the energy efficiency measure lives implemented for that
11year that are reflected in the regulatory asset. The
12unamortized balance shall be recognized as of December 31 for a
13given year. The utility shall also earn a return on the total
14of the unamortized balances of all of the energy efficiency
15regulatory assets, less any deferred taxes related to those
16unamortized balances, at an annual rate equal to the utility's
17weighted average cost of capital that includes, based on a
18year-end capital structure, the utility's actual cost of debt
19for the applicable calendar year and a cost of equity, which
20shall be calculated as the sum of the (i) the average for the
21applicable calendar year of the monthly average yields of
2230-year U.S. Treasury bonds published by the Board of Governors
23of the Federal Reserve System in its weekly H.15 Statistical
24Release or successor publication; and (ii) 580 basis points,
25including a revenue conversion factor calculated to recover or
26refund all additional income taxes that may be payable or

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1295 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1receivable as a result of that return. Capital investment costs
2shall be depreciated and recovered over their useful lives
3consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. The
4weighted average cost of capital shall be applied to the
5capital investment cost balance, less any accumulated
6depreciation and accumulated deferred income taxes, as of
7December 31 for a given year.
8    When an electric utility creates a regulatory asset under
9the provisions of this Section, the costs are recovered over a
10period during which customers also receive a benefit which is
11in the public interest. Accordingly, it is the intent of the
12General Assembly that an electric utility that elects to create
13a regulatory asset under the provisions of this Section shall
14recover all of the associated costs as set forth in this
15Section. After the Commission has approved the prudence and
16reasonableness of the costs that comprise the regulatory asset,
17the electric utility shall be permitted to recover all such
18costs, and the value and recoverability through rates of the
19associated regulatory asset shall not be limited, altered,
20impaired, or reduced.
21    (f) Beginning in 2017, each electric utility shall file an
22energy efficiency plan with the Commission to meet the energy
23efficiency standards for the next applicable multi-year period
24beginning January 1 of the year following the filing, according
25to the schedule set forth in paragraphs (1) through (3) of this
26subsection (f). If a utility does not file such a plan on or

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1296 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1before the applicable filing deadline for the plan, it shall
2face a penalty of $100,000 per day until the plan is filed.
3        (1) No later than 30 days after June 1, 2017 (the
4    effective date of Public Act 99-906) this amendatory Act of
5    the 99th General Assembly or May 1, 2017, whichever is
6    later, each electric utility shall file a 4-year energy
7    efficiency plan commencing on January 1, 2018 that is
8    designed to achieve the cumulative persisting annual
9    savings goals specified in paragraphs (1) through (4) of
10    subsection (b-5) of this Section or in paragraphs (1)
11    through (4) of subsection (b-15) of this Section, as
12    applicable, through implementation of energy efficiency
13    measures; however, the goals may be reduced if the
14    utility's expenditures are limited pursuant to subsection
15    (m) of this Section or, for a utility that serves less than
16    3,000,000 retail customers, if each of the following
17    conditions are met: (A) the plan's analysis and forecasts
18    of the utility's ability to acquire energy savings
19    demonstrate that achievement of such goals is not cost
20    effective; and (B) the amount of energy savings achieved by
21    the utility as determined by the independent evaluator for
22    the most recent year for which savings have been evaluated
23    preceding the plan filing was less than the average annual
24    amount of savings required to achieve the goals for the
25    applicable 4-year plan period. Except as provided in

2    applicable 4-year plan period shall not be reduced to
3    amounts that are less than the maximum amount of cumulative
4    persisting annual savings that is forecast to be
5    cost-effectively achievable during the 4-year plan period.
6    The Commission shall review any proposed goal reduction as
7    part of its review and approval of the utility's proposed
8    plan.
9        (2) No later than March 1, 2021, each electric utility
10    shall file a 4-year energy efficiency plan commencing on
11    January 1, 2022 that is designed to achieve the cumulative
12    persisting annual savings goals specified in paragraphs
13    (5) through (8) of subsection (b-5) of this Section or in
14    paragraphs (5) through (8) of subsection (b-15) of this
15    Section, as applicable, through implementation of energy

1    applicable 4-year plan period. Except as provided in
2    subsection (m) of this Section, annual increases in
3    cumulative persisting annual savings goals during the
4    applicable 4-year plan period shall not be reduced to
5    amounts that are less than the maximum amount of cumulative
6    persisting annual savings that is forecast to be
7    cost-effectively achievable during the 4-year plan period.
8    The Commission shall review any proposed goal reduction as
9    part of its review and approval of the utility's proposed
10    plan.
11        (3) No later than March 1, 2025, each electric utility
12    shall file a 5-year energy efficiency plan commencing on
13    January 1, 2026 that is designed to achieve the cumulative
14    persisting annual savings goals specified in paragraphs
15    (9) through (13) of subsection (b-5) of this Section or in
16    paragraphs (9) through (13) of subsection (b-15) of this

1    preceding the plan filing was less than the average annual
2    amount of savings required to achieve the goals for the
3    applicable 5-year plan period. Except as provided in
4    subsection (m) of this Section, annual increases in
5    cumulative persisting annual savings goals during the
6    applicable 5-year plan period shall not be reduced to
7    amounts that are less than the maximum amount of cumulative
8    persisting annual savings that is forecast to be
9    cost-effectively achievable during the 5-year plan period.
10    The Commission shall review any proposed goal reduction as
11    part of its review and approval of the utility's proposed
12    plan.
13    Each utility's plan shall set forth the utility's proposals
14to meet the energy efficiency standards identified in
15subsection (b-5) or (b-15), as applicable and as such standards
16may have been modified under this subsection (f), taking into
17account the unique circumstances of the utility's service
18territory. For those plans commencing on January 1, 2018, the
19Commission shall seek public comment on the utility's plan and
20shall issue an order approving or disapproving each plan no
21later than August 31, 2017, or 105 days after June 1, 2017 (the

1submission. If the Commission disapproves a plan, the
2Commission shall, within 30 days, describe in detail the
3reasons for the disapproval and describe a path by which the
4utility may file a revised draft of the plan to address the
5Commission's concerns satisfactorily. If the utility does not
6refile with the Commission within 60 days, the utility shall be
7subject to penalties at a rate of $100,000 per day until the
8plan is filed. This process shall continue, and penalties shall
9accrue, until the utility has successfully filed a portfolio of
10energy efficiency and demand-response measures. Penalties
11shall be deposited into the Energy Efficiency Trust Fund.
12    (g) In submitting proposed plans and funding levels under
13subsection (f) of this Section to meet the savings goals

2                (i) If the independent evaluator determines
3            that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
4            annual savings that is less than the applicable
5            annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
6            component shall be reduced by a maximum of 200
7            basis points in the event that the utility achieved
8            no more than 75% of such goal. If the utility
9            achieved more than 75% of the applicable annual
10            incremental goal but less than 100% of such goal,
11            then the return on equity component shall be
12            reduced by 8 basis points for each percent by which
13            the utility failed to achieve the goal.
14                (ii) If the independent evaluator determines

1            under paragraphs (1) or (2) of subsection (f) of
2            this Section, then the following adjustments shall
3            be made to the calculations described in this item
4            (ii):
5                    (aa) the calculation for determining
6                achievement that is at least 125% of the
7                applicable annual incremental goal shall use
8                the unreduced applicable annual incremental
9                goal to set the value; and
10                    (bb) the calculation for determining
11                achievement that is less than 125% but more
12                than 100% of the applicable annual incremental
13                goal shall use the reduced applicable annual
14                incremental goal to set the value for 100%
15                achievement of the goal and shall use the
16                unreduced goal to set the value for 125%
17                achievement. The 8 basis point value shall also
18                be modified, as necessary, so that the 200
19                basis points are evenly apportioned among each
20                percentage point value between 100% and 125%
21                achievement.
22            (B) For the period January 1, 2026 through December
23        31, 2030, provide for an adjustment to the return on
24        equity component of the utility's weighted average
25        cost of capital calculated under subsection (d) of this
26        Section:

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1306 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1                (i) If the independent evaluator determines
2            that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
3            annual savings that is less than the applicable
4            annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
5            component shall be reduced by a maximum of 200
6            basis points in the event that the utility achieved
7            no more than 66% of such goal. If the utility
8            achieved more than 66% of the applicable annual
9            incremental goal but less than 100% of such goal,
10            then the return on equity component shall be
11            reduced by 6 basis points for each percent by which
12            the utility failed to achieve the goal.
13                (ii) If the independent evaluator determines
14            that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
15            annual savings that is more than the applicable
16            annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
17            component shall be increased by a maximum of 200
18            basis points in the event that the utility achieved
19            at least 134% of such goal. If the utility achieved
20            more than 100% of the applicable annual
21            incremental goal but less than 134% of such goal,
22            then the return on equity component shall be
23            increased by 6 basis points for each percent by

HB3249 Enrolled- 1307 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            Section, then the following adjustments shall be
2            made to the calculations described in this item
3            (ii):
4                    (aa) the calculation for determining
5                achievement that is at least 134% of the
6                applicable annual incremental goal shall use
7                the unreduced applicable annual incremental
8                goal to set the value; and
9                    (bb) the calculation for determining
10                achievement that is less than 134% but more
11                than 100% of the applicable annual incremental
12                goal shall use the reduced applicable annual
13                incremental goal to set the value for 100%
14                achievement of the goal and shall use the
15                unreduced goal to set the value for 134%
16                achievement. The 6 basis point value shall also
17                be modified, as necessary, so that the 200
18                basis points are evenly apportioned among each
19                percentage point value between 100% and 134%
20                achievement.
21        (7.5) For purposes of this Section, the term
22    "applicable annual incremental goal" means the difference
23    between the cumulative persisting annual savings goal for
24    the calendar year that is the subject of the independent
25    evaluator's determination and the cumulative persisting

1    year, as such goals are defined in subsections (b-5) and
2    (b-15) of this Section and as these goals may have been
3    modified as provided for under subsection (b-20) and
4    paragraphs (1) through (3) of subsection (f) of this
5    Section. Under subsections (b), (b-5), (b-10), and (b-15)
6    of this Section, a utility must first replace energy
7    savings from measures that have reached the end of their
8    measure lives and would otherwise have to be replaced to
9    meet the applicable savings goals identified in subsection
10    (b-5) or (b-15) of this Section before any progress towards
11    achievement of its applicable annual incremental goal may
12    be counted. Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this
13    Section, the difference between the actual annual
14    incremental savings achieved in any given year, including
15    the replacement of energy savings from measures that have
16    expired, and the applicable annual incremental goal shall
17    not affect adjustments to the return on equity for
18    subsequent calendar years under this subsection (g).
19        (8) For electric utilities that serve less than
20    3,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
21    customers in the State:
22            (A) Through December 31, 2025, the applicable
23        annual incremental goal shall be compared to the annual
24        incremental savings as determined by the independent
25        evaluator.
26                (i) The return on equity component shall be

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1309 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            reduced by 8 basis points for each percent by which
2            the utility did not achieve 84.4% of the applicable
3            annual incremental goal.
4                (ii) The return on equity component shall be
5            increased by 8 basis points for each percent by
6            which the utility exceeded 100% of the applicable
7            annual incremental goal.
8                (iii) The return on equity component shall not
9            be increased or decreased if the annual
10            incremental savings as determined by the
11            independent evaluator is greater than 84.4% of the
12            applicable annual incremental goal and less than
13            100% of the applicable annual incremental goal.
14                (iv) The return on equity component shall not
15            be increased or decreased by an amount greater than
16            200 basis points pursuant to this subparagraph
17            (A).
18            (B) For the period of January 1, 2026 through
19        December 31, 2030, the applicable annual incremental
20        goal shall be compared to the annual incremental
21        savings as determined by the independent evaluator.
22                (i) The return on equity component shall be
23            reduced by 6 basis points for each percent by which
24            the utility did not achieve 100% of the applicable
25            annual incremental goal.
26                (ii) The return on equity component shall be

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1310 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            increased by 6 basis points for each percent by
2            which the utility exceeded 100% of the applicable
3            annual incremental goal.
4                (iii) The return on equity component shall not
5            be increased or decreased by an amount greater than
6            200 basis points pursuant to this subparagraph
7            (B).
8            (C) If the applicable annual incremental goal was
9        reduced under paragraphs (1), (2) or (3) of subsection
10        (f) of this Section, then the following adjustments
11        shall be made to the calculations described in
12        subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph (8):
13                (i) The calculation for determining
14            achievement that is at least 125% or 134%, as
15            applicable, of the applicable annual incremental
16            goal shall use the unreduced applicable annual
17            incremental goal to set the value.
18                (ii) For the period through December 31, 2025,
19            the calculation for determining achievement that
20            is less than 125% but more than 100% of the
21            applicable annual incremental goal shall use the
22            reduced applicable annual incremental goal to set
23            the value for 100% achievement of the goal and
24            shall use the unreduced goal to set the value for
25            125% achievement. The 8 basis point value shall
26            also be modified, as necessary, so that the 200

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1311 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1            basis points are evenly apportioned among each
2            percentage point value between 100% and 125%
3            achievement.
4                (iii) For the period of January 1, 2026 through
5            December 31, 2030, the calculation for determining
6            achievement that is less than 134% but more than
7            100% of the applicable annual incremental goal
8            shall use the reduced applicable annual
9            incremental goal to set the value for 100%
10            achievement of the goal and shall use the unreduced
11            goal to set the value for 125% achievement. The 6
12            basis point value shall also be modified, as
13            necessary, so that the 200 basis points are evenly
14            apportioned among each percentage point value
15            between 100% and 134% achievement.
16        (9) The utility shall submit the energy savings data to
17    the independent evaluator no later than 30 days after the
18    close of the plan year. The independent evaluator shall
19    determine the cumulative persisting annual savings for a
20    given plan year no later than 120 days after the close of
21    the plan year. The utility shall submit an informational
22    filing to the Commission no later than 160 days after the
23    close of the plan year that attaches the independent
24    evaluator's final report identifying the cumulative
25    persisting annual savings for the year and calculates,
26    under paragraph (7) or (8) of this subsection (g), as

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1312 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    applicable, any resulting change to the utility's return on
2    equity component of the weighted average cost of capital
3    applicable to the next plan year beginning with the January
4    monthly billing period and extending through the December
5    monthly billing period. However, if the utility recovers
6    the costs incurred under this Section under paragraphs (2)
7    and (3) of subsection (d) of this Section, then the utility
8    shall not be required to submit such informational filing,
9    and shall instead submit the information that would
10    otherwise be included in the informational filing as part
11    of its filing under paragraph (3) of such subsection (d)
12    that is due on or before June 1 of each year.
13        For those utilities that must submit the informational
14    filing, the Commission may, on its own motion or by
15    petition, initiate an investigation of such filing,
16    provided, however, that the utility's proposed return on
17    equity calculation shall be deemed the final, approved
18    calculation on December 15 of the year in which it is filed
19    unless the Commission enters an order on or before December
20    15, after notice and hearing, that modifies such
21    calculation consistent with this Section.
22        The adjustments to the return on equity component
23    described in paragraphs (7) and (8) of this subsection (g)
24    shall be applied as described in such paragraphs through a
25    separate tariff mechanism, which shall be filed by the
26    utility under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1313 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    (h) No more than 6% of energy efficiency and
2demand-response program revenue may be allocated for research,
3development, or pilot deployment of new equipment or measures.
4    (i) When practicable, electric utilities shall incorporate
5advanced metering infrastructure data into the planning,
6implementation, and evaluation of energy efficiency measures
7and programs, subject to the data privacy and confidentiality
8protections of applicable law.
9    (j) The independent evaluator shall follow the guidelines
10and use the savings set forth in Commission-approved energy
11efficiency policy manuals and technical reference manuals, as
12each may be updated from time to time. Until such time as
13measure life values for energy efficiency measures implemented
14for low-income households under subsection (c) of this Section
15are incorporated into such Commission-approved manuals, the
16low-income measures shall have the same measure life values
17that are established for same measures implemented in
18households that are not low-income households.
19    (k) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary,
20an electric utility subject to the requirements of this Section
21may file a tariff cancelling an automatic adjustment clause
22tariff in effect under this Section or Section 8-103, which
23shall take effect no later than one business day after the date
24such tariff is filed. Thereafter, the utility shall be
25authorized to defer and recover its expenditures incurred under
26this Section through a new tariff authorized under subsection

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1314 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1(d) of this Section or in the utility's next rate case under
2Article IX or Section 16-108.5 of this Act, with interest at an
3annual rate equal to the utility's weighted average cost of
4capital as approved by the Commission in such case. If the
5utility elects to file a new tariff under subsection (d) of
6this Section, the utility may file the tariff within 10 days
7after June 1, 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 99-906)
8this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly, and the cost
9inputs to such tariff shall be based on the projected costs to
10be incurred by the utility during the calendar year in which
11the new tariff is filed and that were not recovered under the
12tariff that was cancelled as provided for in this subsection.
13Such costs shall include those incurred or to be incurred by
14the utility under its multi-year plan approved under
15subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, including, but not
16limited to, projected capital investment costs and projected
17regulatory asset balances with correspondingly updated
18depreciation and amortization reserves and expense. The
19Commission shall, after notice and hearing, approve, or approve
20with modification, such tariff and cost inputs no later than 75
21days after the utility filed the tariff, provided that such
22approval, or approval with modification, shall be consistent
23with the provisions of this Section to the extent they do not
24conflict with this subsection (k). The tariff approved by the
25Commission shall take effect no later than 5 days after the
26Commission enters its order approving the tariff.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1315 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    No later than 60 days after the effective date of the
2tariff cancelling the utility's automatic adjustment clause
3tariff, the utility shall file a reconciliation that reconciles
4the moneys collected under its automatic adjustment clause
5tariff with the costs incurred during the period beginning June
61, 2016 and ending on the date that the electric utility's
7automatic adjustment clause tariff was cancelled. In the event
8the reconciliation reflects an under-collection, the utility
9shall recover the costs as specified in this subsection (k). If
10the reconciliation reflects an over-collection, the utility
11shall apply the amount of such over-collection as a one-time
12credit to retail customers' bills.
13    (l) For the calendar years covered by a multi-year plan
14commencing after December 31, 2017, subsections (a) through (j)
15of this Section do not apply to any retail customers of an
16electric utility that serves more than 3,000,000 retail
17customers in the State and whose total highest 30 minute demand
18was more than 10,000 kilowatts, or any retail customers of an
19electric utility that serves less than 3,000,000 retail
20customers but more than 500,000 retail customers in the State
21and whose total highest 15 minute demand was more than 10,000
22kilowatts. For purposes of this subsection (l), "retail
23customer" has the meaning set forth in Section 16-102 of this
24Act. A determination of whether this subsection is applicable
25to a customer shall be made for each multi-year plan beginning
26after December 31, 2017. The criteria for determining whether

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1316 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1this subsection (l) is applicable to a retail customer shall be
2based on the 12 consecutive billing periods prior to the start
3of the first year of each such multi-year plan.
4    (m) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, as
5part of a proceeding to approve a multi-year plan under
6subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, the Commission shall
7reduce the amount of energy efficiency measures implemented for
8any single year, and whose costs are recovered under subsection
9(d) of this Section, by an amount necessary to limit the
10estimated average net increase due to the cost of the measures
11to no more than
12        (1) 3.5% for the each of the 4 years beginning January
13    1, 2018,
14        (2) 3.75% for each of the 4 years beginning January 1,
15    2022, and
16        (3) 4% for each of the 5 years beginning January 1,
17    2026,
18of the average amount paid per kilowatthour by residential
19eligible retail customers during calendar year 2015. To
20determine the total amount that may be spent by an electric
21utility in any single year, the applicable percentage of the
22average amount paid per kilowatthour shall be multiplied by the
23total amount of energy delivered by such electric utility in
24the calendar year 2015, adjusted to reflect the proportion of
25the utility's load attributable to customers who are exempt
26from subsections (a) through (j) of this Section under

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1317 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1subsection (l) of this Section. For purposes of this subsection
2(m), the amount paid per kilowatthour includes, without
3limitation, estimated amounts paid for supply, transmission,
4distribution, surcharges, and add-on taxes. For purposes of
5this Section, "eligible retail customers" shall have the
6meaning set forth in Section 16-111.5 of this Act. Once the
7Commission has approved a plan under subsections (f) and (g) of
8this Section, no subsequent rate impact determinations shall be
9made.

3    (230 ILCS 5/26)  (from Ch. 8, par. 37-26)
4    Sec. 26. Wagering.
5    (a) Any licensee may conduct and supervise the pari-mutuel
6system of wagering, as defined in Section 3.12 of this Act, on
7horse races conducted by an Illinois organization licensee or
8conducted at a racetrack located in another state or country
9and televised in Illinois in accordance with subsection (g) of
10Section 26 of this Act. Subject to the prior consent of the
11Board, licensees may supplement any pari-mutuel pool in order
12to guarantee a minimum distribution. Such pari-mutuel method of
13wagering shall not, under any circumstances if conducted under
14the provisions of this Act, be held or construed to be
15unlawful, other statutes of this State to the contrary
16notwithstanding. Subject to rules for advance wagering
17promulgated by the Board, any licensee may accept wagers in
18advance of the day of the race wagered upon occurs.
19    (b) No other method of betting, pool making, wagering or
20gambling shall be used or permitted by the licensee. Each
21licensee may retain, subject to the payment of all applicable
22taxes and purses, an amount not to exceed 17% of all money
23wagered under subsection (a) of this Section, except as may
24otherwise be permitted under this Act.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1391 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    (b-5) An individual may place a wager under the pari-mutuel
2system from any licensed location authorized under this Act
3provided that wager is electronically recorded in the manner
4described in Section 3.12 of this Act. Any wager made
5electronically by an individual while physically on the
6premises of a licensee shall be deemed to have been made at the
7premises of that licensee.
8    (c) Until January 1, 2000, the sum held by any licensee for
9payment of outstanding pari-mutuel tickets, if unclaimed prior
10to December 31 of the next year, shall be retained by the
11licensee for payment of such tickets until that date. Within 10
12days thereafter, the balance of such sum remaining unclaimed,
13less any uncashed supplements contributed by such licensee for
14the purpose of guaranteeing minimum distributions of any
15pari-mutuel pool, shall be paid to the Illinois Veterans'
16Rehabilitation Fund of the State treasury, except as provided
17in subsection (g) of Section 27 of this Act.
18    (c-5) Beginning January 1, 2000, the sum held by any
19licensee for payment of outstanding pari-mutuel tickets, if
20unclaimed prior to December 31 of the next year, shall be
21retained by the licensee for payment of such tickets until that
22date. Within 10 days thereafter, the balance of such sum
23remaining unclaimed, less any uncashed supplements contributed
24by such licensee for the purpose of guaranteeing minimum
25distributions of any pari-mutuel pool, shall be evenly
26distributed to the purse account of the organization licensee

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1392 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1and the organization licensee.
2    (d) A pari-mutuel ticket shall be honored until December 31
3of the next calendar year, and the licensee shall pay the same
4and may charge the amount thereof against unpaid money
5similarly accumulated on account of pari-mutuel tickets not
6presented for payment.
7    (e) No licensee shall knowingly permit any minor, other
8than an employee of such licensee or an owner, trainer, jockey,
9driver, or employee thereof, to be admitted during a racing
10program unless accompanied by a parent or guardian, or any
11minor to be a patron of the pari-mutuel system of wagering
12conducted or supervised by it. The admission of any
13unaccompanied minor, other than an employee of the licensee or
14an owner, trainer, jockey, driver, or employee thereof at a
15race track is a Class C misdemeanor.
16    (f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Act, an
17organization licensee may contract with an entity in another
18state or country to permit any legal wagering entity in another
19state or country to accept wagers solely within such other
20state or country on races conducted by the organization
21licensee in this State. Beginning January 1, 2000, these wagers
22shall not be subject to State taxation. Until January 1, 2000,
23when the out-of-State entity conducts a pari-mutuel pool
24separate from the organization licensee, a privilege tax equal
25to 7 1/2% of all monies received by the organization licensee
26from entities in other states or countries pursuant to such

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1393 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1contracts is imposed on the organization licensee, and such
2privilege tax shall be remitted to the Department of Revenue
3within 48 hours of receipt of the moneys from the simulcast.
4When the out-of-State entity conducts a combined pari-mutuel
5pool with the organization licensee, the tax shall be 10% of
6all monies received by the organization licensee with 25% of
7the receipts from this 10% tax to be distributed to the county
8in which the race was conducted.
9    An organization licensee may permit one or more of its
10races to be utilized for pari-mutuel wagering at one or more
11locations in other states and may transmit audio and visual
12signals of races the organization licensee conducts to one or
13more locations outside the State or country and may also permit
14pari-mutuel pools in other states or countries to be combined
15with its gross or net wagering pools or with wagering pools
16established by other states.
17    (g) A host track may accept interstate simulcast wagers on
18horse races conducted in other states or countries and shall
19control the number of signals and types of breeds of racing in
20its simulcast program, subject to the disapproval of the Board.
21The Board may prohibit a simulcast program only if it finds
22that the simulcast program is clearly adverse to the integrity
23of racing. The host track simulcast program shall include the
24signal of live racing of all organization licensees. All
25non-host licensees and advance deposit wagering licensees
26shall carry the signal of and accept wagers on live racing of

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1394 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1all organization licensees. Advance deposit wagering licensees
2shall not be permitted to accept out-of-state wagers on any
3Illinois signal provided pursuant to this Section without the
4approval and consent of the organization licensee providing the
5signal. For one year after August 15, 2014 (the effective date
6of Public Act 98-968), non-host licensees may carry the host
7track simulcast program and shall accept wagers on all races
8included as part of the simulcast program of horse races
9conducted at race tracks located within North America upon
10which wagering is permitted. For a period of one year after
11August 15, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act 98-968), on
12horse races conducted at race tracks located outside of North
13America, non-host licensees may accept wagers on all races
14included as part of the simulcast program upon which wagering
15is permitted. Beginning August 15, 2015 (one year after the
16effective date of Public Act 98-968), non-host licensees may
17carry the host track simulcast program and shall accept wagers
18on all races included as part of the simulcast program upon
19which wagering is permitted. All organization licensees shall
20provide their live signal to all advance deposit wagering
21licensees for a simulcast commission fee not to exceed 6% of
22the advance deposit wagering licensee's Illinois handle on the
23organization licensee's signal without prior approval by the
24Board. The Board may adopt rules under which it may permit
25simulcast commission fees in excess of 6%. The Board shall
26adopt rules limiting the interstate commission fees charged to

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1395 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1an advance deposit wagering licensee. The Board shall adopt
2rules regarding advance deposit wagering on interstate
3simulcast races that shall reflect, among other things, the
4General Assembly's desire to maximize revenues to the State,
5horsemen purses, and organizational licensees. However,
6organization licensees providing live signals pursuant to the
7requirements of this subsection (g) may petition the Board to
8withhold their live signals from an advance deposit wagering
9licensee if the organization licensee discovers and the Board
10finds reputable or credible information that the advance
11deposit wagering licensee is under investigation by another
12state or federal governmental agency, the advance deposit
13wagering licensee's license has been suspended in another
14state, or the advance deposit wagering licensee's license is in
15revocation proceedings in another state. The organization
16licensee's provision of their live signal to an advance deposit
17wagering licensee under this subsection (g) pertains to wagers
18placed from within Illinois. Advance deposit wagering
19licensees may place advance deposit wagering terminals at
20wagering facilities as a convenience to customers. The advance
21deposit wagering licensee shall not charge or collect any fee
22from purses for the placement of the advance deposit wagering
23terminals. The costs and expenses of the host track and
24non-host licensees associated with interstate simulcast
25wagering, other than the interstate commission fee, shall be
26borne by the host track and all non-host licensees incurring

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1396 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1these costs. The interstate commission fee shall not exceed 5%
2of Illinois handle on the interstate simulcast race or races
3without prior approval of the Board. The Board shall promulgate
4rules under which it may permit interstate commission fees in
5excess of 5%. The interstate commission fee and other fees
6charged by the sending racetrack, including, but not limited
7to, satellite decoder fees, shall be uniformly applied to the
8host track and all non-host licensees.
9    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, through
10December 31, 2020, an organization licensee, with the consent
11of the horsemen association representing the largest number of
12owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
13horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting, may
14maintain a system whereby advance deposit wagering may take
15place or an organization licensee, with the consent of the
16horsemen association representing the largest number of
17owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
18horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting, may
19contract with another person to carry out a system of advance
20deposit wagering. Such consent may not be unreasonably
21withheld. Only with respect to an appeal to the Board that
22consent for an organization licensee that maintains its own
23advance deposit wagering system is being unreasonably
24withheld, the Board shall issue a final order within 30 days
25after initiation of the appeal, and the organization licensee's
26advance deposit wagering system may remain operational during

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1397 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1that 30-day period. The actions of any organization licensee
2who conducts advance deposit wagering or any person who has a
3contract with an organization licensee to conduct advance
4deposit wagering who conducts advance deposit wagering on or
5after January 1, 2013 and prior to June 7, 2013 (the effective
6date of Public Act 98-18) taken in reliance on the changes made
7to this subsection (g) by Public Act 98-18 are hereby
8validated, provided payment of all applicable pari-mutuel
9taxes are remitted to the Board. All advance deposit wagers
10placed from within Illinois must be placed through a
11Board-approved advance deposit wagering licensee; no other
12entity may accept an advance deposit wager from a person within
13Illinois. All advance deposit wagering is subject to any rules
14adopted by the Board. The Board may adopt rules necessary to
15regulate advance deposit wagering through the use of emergency
16rulemaking in accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois
17Administrative Procedure Act. The General Assembly finds that
18the adoption of rules to regulate advance deposit wagering is
19deemed an emergency and necessary for the public interest,
20safety, and welfare. An advance deposit wagering licensee may
21retain all moneys as agreed to by contract with an organization
22licensee. Any moneys retained by the organization licensee from
23advance deposit wagering, not including moneys retained by the
24advance deposit wagering licensee, shall be paid 50% to the
25organization licensee's purse account and 50% to the
26organization licensee. With the exception of any organization

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1398 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1licensee that is owned by a publicly traded company that is
2incorporated in a state other than Illinois and advance deposit
3wagering licensees under contract with such organization
4licensees, organization licensees that maintain advance
5deposit wagering systems and advance deposit wagering
6licensees that contract with organization licensees shall
7provide sufficiently detailed monthly accountings to the
8horsemen association representing the largest number of
9owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
10horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting so that
11the horsemen association, as an interested party, can confirm
12the accuracy of the amounts paid to the purse account at the
13horsemen association's affiliated organization licensee from
14advance deposit wagering. If more than one breed races at the
15same race track facility, then the 50% of the moneys to be paid
16to an organization licensee's purse account shall be allocated
17among all organization licensees' purse accounts operating at
18that race track facility proportionately based on the actual
19number of host days that the Board grants to that breed at that
20race track facility in the current calendar year. To the extent
21any fees from advance deposit wagering conducted in Illinois
22for wagers in Illinois or other states have been placed in
23escrow or otherwise withheld from wagers pending a
24determination of the legality of advance deposit wagering, no
25action shall be brought to declare such wagers or the
26disbursement of any fees previously escrowed illegal.

1        (1) Between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. an
2    inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track may
3    supplement the host track simulcast program with
4    additional simulcast races or race programs, provided that
5    between January 1 and the third Friday in February of any
6    year, inclusive, if no live thoroughbred racing is
7    occurring in Illinois during this period, only
8    thoroughbred races may be used for supplemental interstate
9    simulcast purposes. The Board shall withhold approval for a
10    supplemental interstate simulcast only if it finds that the
11    simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of racing. A
12    supplemental interstate simulcast may be transmitted from
13    an inter-track wagering licensee to its affiliated
14    non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for a
15    supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by the
16    non-host licensee and its affiliated non-host licensees
17    receiving the simulcast.
18        (2) Between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. an
19    inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track may
20    receive supplemental interstate simulcasts only with the
21    consent of the host track, except when the Board finds that
22    the simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of
23    racing. Consent granted under this paragraph (2) to any
24    inter-track wagering licensee shall be deemed consent to
25    all non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for
26    the supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by all

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1400 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    participating non-host licensees.
2        (3) Each licensee conducting interstate simulcast
3    wagering may retain, subject to the payment of all
4    applicable taxes and the purses, an amount not to exceed
5    17% of all money wagered. If any licensee conducts the
6    pari-mutuel system wagering on races conducted at
7    racetracks in another state or country, each such race or
8    race program shall be considered a separate racing day for
9    the purpose of determining the daily handle and computing
10    the privilege tax of that daily handle as provided in
11    subsection (a) of Section 27. Until January 1, 2000, from
12    the sums permitted to be retained pursuant to this
13    subsection, each inter-track wagering location licensee
14    shall pay 1% of the pari-mutuel handle wagered on simulcast
15    wagering to the Horse Racing Tax Allocation Fund, subject
16    to the provisions of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (11) of
17    subsection (h) of Section 26 of this Act.
18        (4) A licensee who receives an interstate simulcast may
19    combine its gross or net pools with pools at the sending
20    racetracks pursuant to rules established by the Board. All
21    licensees combining their gross pools at a sending
22    racetrack shall adopt the takeout take-out percentages of
23    the sending racetrack. A licensee may also establish a
24    separate pool and takeout structure for wagering purposes
25    on races conducted at race tracks outside of the State of
26    Illinois. The licensee may permit pari-mutuel wagers

4    (except for the interstate commission fee on a supplemental
5    interstate simulcast, which shall be paid by the host track
6    and by each non-host licensee through the host track
7    host-track) and all applicable State and local taxes,
8    except as provided in subsection (g) of Section 27 of this
9    Act, the remainder of moneys retained from simulcast
10    wagering pursuant to this subsection (g), and Section 26.2
11    shall be divided as follows:
12            (A) For interstate simulcast wagers made at a host
13        track, 50% to the host track and 50% to purses at the
14        host track.
15            (B) For wagers placed on interstate simulcast
16        races, supplemental simulcasts as defined in
17        subparagraphs (1) and (2), and separately pooled races
18        conducted outside of the State of Illinois made at a
19        non-host licensee, 25% to the host track, 25% to the
20        non-host licensee, and 50% to the purses at the host
21        track.
22        (6) Notwithstanding any provision in this Act to the
23    contrary, non-host licensees who derive their licenses
24    from a track located in a county with a population in
25    excess of 230,000 and that borders the Mississippi River
26    may receive supplemental interstate simulcast races at all

1    times subject to Board approval, which shall be withheld
2    only upon a finding that a supplemental interstate
3    simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of racing.
4        (7) Effective January 1, 2017, notwithstanding any
5    provision of this Act to the contrary, after payment of all
6    applicable State and local taxes and interstate commission
7    fees, non-host licensees who derive their licenses from a
8    track located in a county with a population in excess of
9    230,000 and that borders the Mississippi River shall retain
10    50% of the retention from interstate simulcast wagers and
11    shall pay 50% to purses at the track from which the
12    non-host licensee derives its license.
13        (7.1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act
14    to the contrary, if no standardbred racing is conducted at
15    a racetrack located in Madison County during any calendar
16    year beginning on or after January 1, 2002, all moneys
17    derived by that racetrack from simulcast wagering and
18    inter-track wagering that (1) are to be used for purses and
19    (2) are generated between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 6:30
20    a.m. during that calendar year shall be paid as follows:
21            (A) If the licensee that conducts horse racing at
22        that racetrack requests from the Board at least as many
23        racing dates as were conducted in calendar year 2000,
24        80% shall be paid to its thoroughbred purse account;

11        subparagraph (B) shall be allocated as provided by the
12        Department of Agriculture, with the advice and
13        assistance of the Illinois Standardbred Breeders Fund

1        (13) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act,
2    in the event that the total Illinois pari-mutuel handle on
3    Illinois horse races at all wagering facilities in any
4    calendar year is less than 75% of the total Illinois
5    pari-mutuel handle on Illinois horse races at all such
6    wagering facilities for calendar year 1994, then each
7    wagering facility that has an annual total Illinois
8    pari-mutuel handle on Illinois horse races that is less
9    than 75% of the total Illinois pari-mutuel handle on
10    Illinois horse races at such wagering facility for calendar
11    year 1994, shall be permitted to receive, from any amount
12    otherwise payable to the purse account at the race track
13    with which the wagering facility is affiliated in the
14    succeeding calendar year, an amount equal to 2% of the
15    differential in total Illinois pari-mutuel handle on
16    Illinois horse races at the wagering facility between that
17    calendar year in question and 1994 provided, however, that
18    a wagering facility shall not be entitled to any such
19    payment until the Board certifies in writing to the
20    wagering facility the amount to which the wagering facility
21    is entitled and a schedule for payment of the amount to the
22    wagering facility, based on: (i) the racing dates awarded
23    to the race track affiliated with the wagering facility
24    during the succeeding year; (ii) the sums available or
25    anticipated to be available in the purse account of the
26    race track affiliated with the wagering facility for purses

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1407 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    during the succeeding year; and (iii) the need to ensure
2    reasonable purse levels during the payment period. The
3    Board's certification shall be provided no later than
4    January 31 of the succeeding year. In the event a wagering
5    facility entitled to a payment under this paragraph (13) is
6    affiliated with a race track that maintains purse accounts
7    for both standardbred and thoroughbred racing, the amount
8    to be paid to the wagering facility shall be divided
9    between each purse account pro rata, based on the amount of
10    Illinois handle on Illinois standardbred and thoroughbred
11    racing respectively at the wagering facility during the
12    previous calendar year. Annually, the General Assembly
13    shall appropriate sufficient funds from the General
14    Revenue Fund to the Department of Agriculture for payment
15    into the thoroughbred and standardbred horse racing purse
16    accounts at Illinois pari-mutuel tracks. The amount paid to
17    each purse account shall be the amount certified by the
18    Illinois Racing Board in January to be transferred from
19    each account to each eligible racing facility in accordance
20    with the provisions of this Section.

10    a track located in Madison County that conducted at least
11    100 days of live racing during the immediately preceding

13    license, unless a lesser schedule of live racing is the
14    result of (A) weather, unsafe track conditions, or other
15    acts of God; (B) an agreement between the organization
16    licensee and the associations representing the largest
17    number of owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred
18    drivers who race horses at that organization licensee's

10    those licensees at any location within 5 miles of any race
11    track at which a horse race meeting has been licensed in
12    the current year, unless the person having operating
13    control of such race track has given its written consent to
14    such inter-track wagering location licensees, which
15    consent must be filed with the Board at or prior to the

12    inter-track wagering location licensee may retain, subject
13    to the payment of the privilege taxes and the purses, an

19        the Illinois Attorney General and the U.S. Department
20        of Treasury's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

18    Commission for a self-distribution exemption to allow the
19    sale of not more than 5,000 gallons of the exemption
20    holder's wine to retail licensees per year.
21        (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
22    penalty of perjury, such person shall state (1) the date it
23    was established; (2) its volume of production and sales for
24    each year since its establishment; (3) its efforts to
25    establish distributor relationships; (4) that a
26    self-distribution exemption is necessary to facilitate the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1441 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    marketing of its wine; and (5) that it will comply with the
2    liquor and revenue laws of the United States, this State,
3    and any other state where it is licensed.
4        (C) The Commission shall approve the application for a
5    self-distribution exemption if such person: (1) is in
6    compliance with State revenue and liquor laws; (2) is not a
7    member of any affiliated group that produces more than
8    25,000 gallons of wine per annum or produces any other
9    alcoholic liquor; (3) will not annually produce for sale
10    more than 25,000 gallons of wine; and (4) will not annually
11    sell more than 5,000 gallons of its wine to retail
12    licensees.
13        (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
14    annually certify to the Commission its production of wine
15    in the previous 12 months and its anticipated production
16    and sales for the next 12 months. The Commission may fine,
17    suspend, or revoke a self-distribution exemption after a
18    hearing if it finds that the exemption holder has made a
19    material misrepresentation in its application, violated a
20    revenue or liquor law of Illinois, exceeded production of
21    25,000 gallons of wine in any calendar year, or become part
22    of an affiliated group producing more than 25,000 gallons
23    of wine or any other alcoholic liquor.
24        (E) Except in hearings for violations of this Act or
25    Public Act 95-634 or a bona fide investigation by duly
26    sworn law enforcement officials, the Commission, or its

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1442 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

5        (F) The Commission shall issue regulations governing
6    self-distribution exemptions consistent with this Section

8        (G) Nothing in this paragraph subsection (17) shall
9    prohibit a self-distribution exemption holder from
10    entering into or simultaneously having a distribution
11    agreement with a licensed Illinois distributor.
12        (H) It is the intent of this paragraph subsection (17)
13    to promote and continue orderly markets. The General
14    Assembly finds that in order to preserve Illinois'
15    regulatory distribution system it is necessary to create an
16    exception for smaller makers of wine as their wines are
17    frequently adjusted in varietals, mixes, vintages, and
18    taste to find and create market niches sometimes too small
19    for distributor or importing distributor business
20    strategies. Limited self-distribution rights will afford
21    and allow smaller makers of wine access to the marketplace
22    in order to develop a customer base without impairing the
23    integrity of the 3-tier system.
24        (18)(A) A class 1 brewer licensee, who must also be
25    either a licensed brewer or licensed non-resident dealer
26    and annually manufacture less than 930,000 gallons of beer,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1443 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    may make application to the State Commission for a
2    self-distribution exemption to allow the sale of not more
3    than 232,500 gallons of the exemption holder's beer per
4    year to retail licensees and to brewers, class 1 brewers,
5    and class 2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of
6    Section 6-4 of this Act, sell beer, cider, or both beer and
7    cider to non-licensees at their breweries.
8        (B) In the application, which shall be sworn under
9    penalty of perjury, the class 1 brewer licensee shall state
10    (1) the date it was established; (2) its volume of beer
11    manufactured and sold for each year since its
12    establishment; (3) its efforts to establish distributor
13    relationships; (4) that a self-distribution exemption is
14    necessary to facilitate the marketing of its beer; and (5)
15    that it will comply with the alcoholic beverage and revenue
16    laws of the United States, this State, and any other state
17    where it is licensed.
18        (C) Any application submitted shall be posted on the
19    State Commission's website at least 45 days prior to action
20    by the State Commission. The State Commission shall approve
21    the application for a self-distribution exemption if the
22    class 1 brewer licensee: (1) is in compliance with the
23    State, revenue, and alcoholic beverage laws; (2) is not a
24    member of any affiliated group that manufactures more than
25    930,000 gallons of beer per annum or produces any other
26    alcoholic beverages; (3) shall not annually manufacture

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1444 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    for sale more than 930,000 gallons of beer; (4) shall not
2    annually sell more than 232,500 gallons of its beer to
3    retail licensees or to brewers, class 1 brewers, and class
4    2 brewers that, pursuant to subsection (e) of Section 6-4
5    of this Act, sell beer, cider, or both beer and cider to
6    non-licensees at their breweries; and (5) has relinquished
7    any brew pub license held by the licensee, including any
8    ownership interest it held in the licensed brew pub.
9        (D) A self-distribution exemption holder shall
10    annually certify to the State Commission its manufacture of
11    beer during the previous 12 months and its anticipated
12    manufacture and sales of beer for the next 12 months. The
13    State Commission may fine, suspend, or revoke a
14    self-distribution exemption after a hearing if it finds
15    that the exemption holder has made a material
16    misrepresentation in its application, violated a revenue
17    or alcoholic beverage law of Illinois, exceeded the
18    manufacture of 930,000 gallons of beer in any calendar year
19    or became part of an affiliated group manufacturing more
20    than 930,000 gallons of beer or any other alcoholic
21    beverage.
22        (E) The State Commission shall issue rules and
23    regulations governing self-distribution exemptions
24    consistent with this Act.
25        (F) Nothing in this paragraph (18) shall prohibit a
26    self-distribution exemption holder from entering into or

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1445 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    simultaneously having a distribution agreement with a
2    licensed Illinois importing distributor or a distributor.
3    If a self-distribution exemption holder enters into a
4    distribution agreement and has assigned distribution
5    rights to an importing distributor or distributor, then the
6    self-distribution exemption holder's distribution rights
7    in the assigned territories shall cease in a reasonable
8    time not to exceed 60 days.
9        (G) It is the intent of this paragraph (18) to promote
10    and continue orderly markets. The General Assembly finds
11    that in order to preserve Illinois' regulatory
12    distribution system, it is necessary to create an exception
13    for smaller manufacturers in order to afford and allow such
14    smaller manufacturers of beer access to the marketplace in
15    order to develop a customer base without impairing the
16    integrity of the 3-tier system.
17    (b) On or before April 30, 1999, the Commission shall
18present a written report to the Governor and the General
19Assembly that shall be based on a study of the impact of Public
20Act 90-739 on the business of soliciting, selling, and shipping
21alcoholic liquor from outside of this State directly to
22residents of this State.
23    As part of its report, the Commission shall provide the
24following information:
25        (i) the amount of State excise and sales tax revenues
26    generated as a result of Public Act 90-739;

6    Revenue, and the number of notices and complaints of
7    violations to law enforcement officials.

7reimbursement system for ambulance services that, to the extent
8practicable and subject to the availability of funds

12Medicaid, the Illinois Department shall follow, to the extent
13necessary and practicable and subject to the availability of
14funds appropriated by the General Assembly for this purpose,
15the statutes, laws, regulations, policies, procedures,
16principles, definitions, guidelines, and manuals used to
17determine the amounts paid to ambulance service providers under
18Title XVIII of the Social Security Act (Medicare).
19    (b) For ambulance services provided to a recipient of aid
20under this Article on or after January 1, 1996, the Illinois
21Department shall reimburse ambulance service providers based
22upon the actual distance traveled if a natural disaster,
23weather conditions, road repairs, or traffic congestion
24necessitates the use of a route other than the most direct
25route.

21    (305 ILCS 5/9A-11)  (from Ch. 23, par. 9A-11)
22    Sec. 9A-11. Child care.
23    (a) The General Assembly recognizes that families with
24children need child care in order to work. Child care is
25expensive and families with low incomes, including those who

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1586 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1are transitioning from welfare to work, often struggle to pay
2the costs of day care. The General Assembly understands the
3importance of helping low-income low income working families
4become and remain self-sufficient. The General Assembly also
5believes that it is the responsibility of families to share in
6the costs of child care. It is also the preference of the
7General Assembly that all working poor families should be
8treated equally, regardless of their welfare status.
9    (b) To the extent resources permit, the Illinois Department
10shall provide child care services to parents or other relatives
11as defined by rule who are working or participating in
12employment or Department approved education or training
13programs. At a minimum, the Illinois Department shall cover the
14following categories of families:
15        (1) recipients of TANF under Article IV participating
16    in work and training activities as specified in the
17    personal plan for employment and self-sufficiency;
18        (2) families transitioning from TANF to work;
19        (3) families at risk of becoming recipients of TANF;
20        (4) families with special needs as defined by rule;
21        (5) working families with very low incomes as defined
22    by rule;
23        (6) families that are not recipients of TANF and that
24    need child care assistance to participate in education and
25    training activities; and
26        (7) families with children under the age of 5 who have

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1587 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    an open intact family services case with the Department of
2    Children and Family Services. Any family that receives
3    child care assistance in accordance with this paragraph
4    shall remain eligible for child care assistance 6 months
5    after the child's intact family services case is closed,
6    regardless of whether the child's parents or other
7    relatives as defined by rule are working or participating
8    in Department approved employment or education or training
9    programs. The Department of Human Services, in
10    consultation with the Department of Children and Family
11    Services, shall adopt rules to protect the privacy of
12    families who are the subject of an open intact family
13    services case when such families enroll in child care
14    services. Additional rules shall be adopted to offer
15    children who have an open intact family services case the
16    opportunity to receive an Early Intervention screening and
17    other services that their families may be eligible for as
18    provided by the Department of Human Services.
19    The Department shall specify by rule the conditions of
20eligibility, the application process, and the types, amounts,
21and duration of services. Eligibility for child care benefits
22and the amount of child care provided may vary based on family
23size, income, and other factors as specified by rule.
24    A family's eligibility for child care services shall be
25redetermined no sooner than 12 months following the initial
26determination or most recent redetermination. During the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1588 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

112-month periods, the family shall remain eligible for child
2care services regardless of (i) a change in family income,
3unless family income exceeds 85% of State median income, or
4(ii) a temporary change in the ongoing status of the parents or
5other relatives, as defined by rule, as working or attending a
6job training or educational program.
7    In determining income eligibility for child care benefits,
8the Department annually, at the beginning of each fiscal year,
9shall establish, by rule, one income threshold for each family
10size, in relation to percentage of State median income for a
11family of that size, that makes families with incomes below the
12specified threshold eligible for assistance and families with
13incomes above the specified threshold ineligible for
14assistance. Through and including fiscal year 2007, the
15specified threshold must be no less than 50% of the
16then-current State median income for each family size.
17Beginning in fiscal year 2008, the specified threshold must be
18no less than 185% of the then-current federal poverty level for
19each family size. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or
20administrative rule to the contrary, beginning in fiscal year
212019, the specified threshold for working families with very
22low incomes as defined by rule must be no less than 185% of the
23then-current federal poverty level for each family size.
24    In determining eligibility for assistance, the Department
25shall not give preference to any category of recipients or give
26preference to individuals based on their receipt of benefits

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1589 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1under this Code.
2    Nothing in this Section shall be construed as conferring
3entitlement status to eligible families.
4    The Illinois Department is authorized to lower income
5eligibility ceilings, raise parent co-payments, create waiting
6lists, or take such other actions during a fiscal year as are
7necessary to ensure that child care benefits paid under this
8Article do not exceed the amounts appropriated for those child
9care benefits. These changes may be accomplished by emergency
10rule under Section 5-45 of the Illinois Administrative
11Procedure Act, except that the limitation on the number of
12emergency rules that may be adopted in a 24-month period shall
13not apply.
14    The Illinois Department may contract with other State
15agencies or child care organizations for the administration of
16child care services.
17    (c) Payment shall be made for child care that otherwise
18meets the requirements of this Section and applicable standards
19of State and local law and regulation, including any
20requirements the Illinois Department promulgates by rule in
21addition to the licensure requirements promulgated by the
22Department of Children and Family Services and Fire Prevention
23and Safety requirements promulgated by the Office of the State
24Fire Marshal, and is provided in any of the following:
25        (1) a child care center which is licensed or exempt

3    licensing;
4        (3) a licensed group child care home;
5        (4) other types of child care, including child care
6    provided by relatives or persons living in the same home as
7    the child, as determined by the Illinois Department by
8    rule.
9    (c-5) Solely for the purposes of coverage under the
10Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, child and day care home
11providers, including licensed and license exempt,
12participating in the Department's child care assistance
13program shall be considered to be public employees and the
14State of Illinois shall be considered to be their employer as
15of January 1, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-320)
16this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly, but not
17before. The State shall engage in collective bargaining with an
18exclusive representative of child and day care home providers
19participating in the child care assistance program concerning
20their terms and conditions of employment that are within the
21State's control. Nothing in this subsection shall be understood
22to limit the right of families receiving services defined in
23this Section to select child and day care home providers or
24supervise them within the limits of this Section. The State
25shall not be considered to be the employer of child and day
26care home providers for any purposes not specifically provided

10exemption to application of federal and State antitrust laws be
11fully available to the extent that their activities are
12authorized by Public Act 94-320 this amendatory Act of the 94th
13General Assembly.
14    (d) The Illinois Department shall establish, by rule, a
15co-payment scale that provides for cost sharing by families
16that receive child care services, including parents whose only
17income is from assistance under this Code. The co-payment shall
18be based on family income and family size and may be based on
19other factors as appropriate. Co-payments may be waived for
20families whose incomes are at or below the federal poverty
21level.
22    (d-5) The Illinois Department, in consultation with its
23Child Care and Development Advisory Council, shall develop a
24plan to revise the child care assistance program's co-payment
25scale. The plan shall be completed no later than February 1,

3    relative amounts that low-income families and the average
4    American family spend on other necessities of life;

6    co-payment scale to assure that families receiving child
7    care services from the Department are paying no more than

17    Department's guidelines, that describes the desired
18    delivery model with projections of patient volumes by
19    service lines and projected revenues, expenses, and net
20    income that correspond to the new delivery model. In Phase
21    2, subject to the approval of rules, the Department may use
22    the hospital transformation pool to increase base rates,
23    develop new adjustors, adjust current adjustors, or
24    develop new access payments in order to support and
25    incentivize hospitals to pursue such transformation. In
26    developing such methodologies, the Department shall ensure

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1609 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1addictions.
2    (a) Legislative findings. The General Assembly finds as
3follows:
4        (1) Illinois continues to face a serious and ongoing
5    opioid epidemic.
6        (2) Opioid-related overdose deaths rose 76% between
7    2013 and 2016.
8        (3) Opioid and other drug addictions are life-long
9    diseases that require a disease management approach and not
10    just episodic treatment.
11        (4) There is an urgent need to create a treatment
12    approach that proactively engages and encourages
13    individuals with opioid and other drug addictions into
14    treatment to help prevent chronic use and a worsening
15    addiction and to significantly curb the rate of overdose
16    deaths.
17    (b) With the goal of early initial engagement of
18individuals who have an opioid or other drug addiction in
19addiction treatment and for keeping individuals engaged in
20treatment following detoxification, a residential treatment
21stay, or hospitalization to prevent chronic recurrent drug use,
22the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, in
23partnership with the Department of Human Services' Division of
24Substance Use Prevention and Recovery Alcoholism and Substance
25Abuse and with meaningful input from stakeholders, shall
26develop an Assertive Engagement and Community-Based Clinical

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1616 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1Treatment Pilot Program for early treatment of an opioid or
2other drug addiction. The pilot program shall be implemented
3across a broad spectrum of geographic regions across the State.
4    (c) Assertive engagement and community-based clinical
5treatment services. All services included in the pilot program
6established under this Section shall be evidence-based or
7evidence-informed as applicable and the services shall be
8flexibly provided in-office, in-home, and in-community with an
9emphasis on in-home and in-community services. The model shall
10take into consideration area workforce, community uniqueness,
11and cultural diversity. The model shall, at a minimum, allow
12for and include each of the following:
13        (1) Assertive community outreach, engagement, and
14    continuing care strategies to encourage participation and
15    retention in addiction treatment services for both initial
16    engagement into addiction treatment services, and for
17    post-hospitalization, post-detoxification, and
18    post-residential treatment.
19        (2) Case management for purposes of linking
20    individuals to treatment, ongoing monitoring, problem
21    solving, and assisting individuals in organizing their
22    treatment and goals. Case management shall be covered for
23    individuals not yet engaged in treatment for purposes of
24    reaching such individuals early on in their addiction and
25    for individuals in treatment.
26        (3) Clinical treatment that is delivered in an

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1617 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    individual's natural environment, including in-home or
2    in-community treatment, to better equip the individual
3    with coping mechanisms that may trigger re-use.
4        (4) Coverage of provider transportation costs in
5    delivering in-home and in-community services in both rural
6    and urban settings. For rural communities, the model shall
7    take into account the wider geographic areas providers are
8    required to travel for in-home and in-community pilot
9    services for purposes of reimbursement.
10        (5) Recovery support services.
11        (6) For individuals who receive services through the
12    pilot program but disengage for a short duration (a period
13    of no longer than 9 months), allow seamless treatment
14    re-engagement in the pilot program.
15        (7) Supported education and employment.
16        (8) Working with the individual's family, school, and
17    other community support systems.
18        (9) Service flexibility to enable recovery and
19    positive health outcomes.
20    (d) Federal waiver or State Plan amendment; implementation
21timeline. The Department shall follow the timeline for
22application for federal approval and implementation outlined
23in subsection (c) of Section 5. The pilot program contemplated
24in this Section shall be implemented only to the extent that

2Department of Human Services' Division of Substance Use
3Prevention and Recovery Alcoholism and Substance Abuse and with
4meaningful input from stakeholders, shall develop a
5pay-for-performance payment model aimed at achieving
6high-quality high quality treatment and overall health and
7quality of life outcomes, rather than a fee-for-service payment
8model. The payment model shall allow for service flexibility to
9achieve such outcomes, shall cover actual provider costs of
10delivering the pilot program services to enable
11sustainability, and shall include all provider costs
12associated with the data collection for purposes of the
13analytics and outcomes reporting required in subsection (g).
14The Department shall ensure that the payment model works as
15intended by this Section within managed care.
16    (f) Rulemaking. The Department of Healthcare and Family

8treatment and supports in the early stages of his or her
9illness.
10    The reports to the General Assembly shall be filed with the
11Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the
12Senate in electronic form only, in the manner that the Clerk
13and the Secretary shall direct.
14    Post-pilot program discharge outcomes shall be collected
15for all service recipients who exit the pilot program for up to

17with planned or unplanned discharges. The post-exit data
18collected shall include the annual data listed in paragraphs
19(1) through (8) of subsection (g). Data collection shall be
20done in a manner that does not violate individual privacy laws.
21Outcomes for enrollees in the pilot and post-exit outcomes
22shall be included in the final report to the General Assembly

20    (330 ILCS 21/30)
21    (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 17, 2023)
22    Sec. 30. Procedures for selection.
23    (a) The State construction agency must use a two-phase
24procedure for the selection of the successful design-build

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1626 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1entity. Phase I of the procedure will evaluate and shortlist
2the design-build entities based on qualifications, and Phase II
3will evaluate the technical and cost proposals.
4    (b) The State construction agency shall include in the
5request for proposal the evaluating factors to be used in Phase
6I. These factors are in addition to any prequalification
7requirements of design-build entities that the agency has set
8forth. Each request for proposal shall establish the relative
9importance assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor,
10including any weighting of criteria to be employed by the State
11construction agency. The State construction agency must
12maintain a record of the evaluation scoring to be disclosed in
13the event of a protest regarding the solicitation.
14    The State construction agency shall include the following
15criteria in every Phase I evaluation of design-build entities:
16(1) experience of personnel; (2) successful experience with
17similar project types; (3) financial capability; (4)
18timeliness of past performance; (5) experience with similarly
19sized projects; (6) successful reference checks of the firm;
20(7) commitment to assign personnel for the duration of the
21project and qualifications of the entity's consultants; and (8)
22ability or past performance in meeting or exhausting good faith
23efforts to meet the utilization goals for business enterprises

1include any additional relevant criteria in Phase I that it
2deems necessary for a proper qualification review.
3    The State construction agency may not consider any
4design-build entity for evaluation or award if the entity has
5any pecuniary interest in the project or has other
6relationships or circumstances, including, but not limited to,
7long-term leasehold, mutual performance, or development
8contracts with the State construction agency, that may give the
9design-build entity a financial or tangible advantage over
10other design-build entities in the preparation, evaluation, or
11performance of the design-build contract or that create the
12appearance of impropriety. No proposal shall be considered that
13does not include an entity's plan to comply with the

20highly qualified design-build entities. The State construction
21agency, in its discretion, is not required to shortlist the
22maximum number of entities as identified for Phase II

3Section 5 as follows:
 
4    (410 ILCS 43/5)
5    Sec. 5. Findings; intent; establishment of program.
6    (a) The General Assembly finds all of the following:
7        (1) Lead-based paint poisoning is a potentially
8    devastating, but preventable disease. It is one of the top
9    environmental threats to children's health in the United
10    States.
11        (2) The number of lead-poisoned children in Illinois is
12    among the highest in the nation, especially in older, more
13    affordable properties.
14        (3) Lead poisoning causes irreversible damage to the
15    development of a child's nervous system. Even at low and
16    moderate levels, lead poisoning causes learning
17    disabilities, problems with speech, shortened attention
18    span, hyperactivity, and behavioral problems. Recent
19    research links low levels of lead exposure to lower IQ
20    scores and to juvenile delinquency.
21        (4) Older housing is the number one risk factor for
22    childhood lead poisoning. Properties built before 1950 are
23    statistically much more likely to contain lead-based paint
24    hazards than buildings constructed more recently.
25        (5) While the use of lead-based paint in residential

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1632 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    properties was banned in 1978, the State of Illinois ranks
2    seventh nationally in the number of housing units built
3    before 1978 and has the highest risk for lead hazards.
4        (6) There are nearly 1.4 million households with
5    lead-based paint hazards in Illinois.
6        (7) Most children are lead poisoned in their own homes
7    through exposure to lead dust from deteriorated lead paint
8    surfaces, like windows, and when lead paint deteriorates or
9    is disturbed through home renovation and repainting.
10        (8) Children at the highest risk for lead poisoning
11    live in low-income communities and in older housing
12    throughout the State of Illinois.
13        (9) The control of lead hazards significantly reduces
14    lead-poisoning rates.
15        (10) Windows are considered a higher lead exposure risk
16    more often than other components in a housing unit. Windows
17    are a major contributor of lead dust in the home, due to
18    both weathering conditions and friction effects on paint.
19        (11) The Comprehensive Lead Education Elimination,
20    Reduction, and Window Replacement (CLEAR-WIN) Program was
21    established under Public Act 95-492 as a pilot program to
22    reduce potential lead hazards by replacing windows in
23    low-income, pre-1978 homes. It also provided for
24    on-the-job training for community members in 2 pilot
25    communities in Chicago and Peoria County.
26        (12) The CLEAR-WIN Program provided for installation

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1633 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    of 8,000 windows in 466 housing units between 2010 and
2    2014. Evaluations of the pilot program determined window
3    replacement was effective in lowering lead hazards and
4    produced energy, environmental, health, and market
5    benefits. Return on investment was almost $2 for every
6    dollar spent.
7        (13) There is an insufficient pool of licensed lead
8    abatement workers and contractors to address the problem in
9    some areas of the State.
10        (14) Through grants from the U.S. Department of Housing
11    and Urban Development and State dollars, some communities
12    in Illinois have begun to reduce lead poisoning of
13    children. While this is an ongoing effort, it only
14    addresses a small number of the low-income children
15    statewide in communities with high levels of lead paint in
16    the housing stock.
17    (b) It is the intent of the General Assembly to:
18        (1) address the problem of lead poisoning of children
19    by eliminating lead hazards in homes;
20        (2) provide training within communities to encourage
21    the use of lead paint safe work practices;
22        (3) create job opportunities for community members in
23    the lead abatement industry;
24        (4) support the efforts of small business and property
25    owners committed to maintaining lead-safe housing; and
26        (5) assist in the maintenance of affordable lead-safe

2    (c) The General Assembly hereby establishes the
3Comprehensive Lead Education, Reduction, and Window
4Replacement Program to assist residential property owners
5through a Lead Direct Assistance Program to reduce lead hazards
6in residential properties.
7    (d) The Department of Public Health is authorized to:
8        (1) adopt rules necessary to implement this Act;
9        (2) adopt by reference the Illinois Administrative
10    Procedure Act for administration of this Act;
11        (3) assess administrative fines and penalties, as
12    established by the Department by rule, for persons
13    violating rules adopted by the Department under this Act;
14        (4) make referrals for prosecution to the Attorney
15    General or the State's Attorney for the county in which a
16    violation occurs, for a violation of this Act or the rules
17    adopted under this Act; and
18        (5) establish agreements under the Intergovernmental

5    Section 610. The Food Handling Regulation Enforcement Act
6is amended by changing Sections 3.3 and 4 as follows:
 
7    (410 ILCS 625/3.3)
8    Sec. 3.3. Farmers' markets.
9    (a) The General Assembly finds as follows:
10        (1) Farmers' markets, as defined in subsection (b) of
11    this Section, provide not only a valuable marketplace for
12    farmers and food artisans to sell their products directly
13    to consumers, but also a place for consumers to access
14    fresh fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products.
15        (2) Farmers' markets serve as a stimulator for local
16    economies and for thousands of new businesses every year,
17    allowing farmers to sell directly to consumers and capture
18    the full retail value of their products. They have become
19    important community institutions and have figured in the
20    revitalization of downtown districts and rural
21    communities.
22        (3) Since 1999, the number of farmers' markets has
23    tripled and new ones are being established every year.
24    There is a lack of consistent regulation from one county to

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1655 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    the next, resulting in confusion and discrepancies between
2    counties regarding how products may be sold. There continue
3    continues to be inconsistencies, confusion, and lack of
4    awareness by consumers, farmers, markets, and local health
5    authorities of required guidelines affecting farmers'
6    markets from county to county.
7        (4) (Blank).
8        (5) (Blank).
9        (6) Recognizing that farmers' markets serve as small
10    business incubators and that farmers' profit margins
11    frequently are narrow, even in direct-to-consumer retail,
12    protecting farmers from costs of regulation that are
13    disproportionate to their profits will help ensure the
14    continued viability of these local farms and small
15    businesses.
16    (b) For the purposes of this Section:
17    "Department" means the Department of Public Health.
18    "Director" means the Director of Public Health.
19    "Farmers' market" means a common facility or area where the
20primary purpose is for farmers to gather to sell a variety of
21fresh fruits and vegetables and other locally produced farm and
22food products directly to consumers.
23    (c) (Blank).
24    (d) This Section does not intend and shall not be construed
25to limit the power of counties, municipalities, and other local
26government units to regulate farmers' markets for the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1656 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1protection of the public health, safety, morals, and welfare,
2including, but not limited to, licensing requirements and time,
3place, and manner restrictions, except as specified in this

22        (2) The rules and regulations described in this Section
23    shall be consistently enforced by local health authorities
24    throughout the State.

1    departments and all other units of local government are
2    prohibited from creating sanitation guidelines, rules, or

4    than those farmers' market sanitation regulations
5    contained in the administrative rules adopted by the
6    Department for the purposes of implementing this Section
7    and Sections 3.4, 3.5, and 4 of this Act. Except as

11    units from requiring licensing and permits for the sale of

13    prepared foods, and potentially hazardous foods at
14    farmers' markets or conducting related inspections and
15    enforcement activities, so long as those permits and
16    licenses do not include unreasonable fees or sanitation
17    provisions and rules that are more stringent than those
18    laid out in the administrative rules adopted by the
19    Department for the purposes of implementing this Section
20    and Sections 3.4, 3.5, and 4 of this Act.
21        (3) In the case of alleged noncompliance

19and the Department of Public Health, as well as live animals to
20be sold at farmers' markets.

21    promptly deliver the certificate of title along with proper
22    application and fee to the Secretary of State, and a
23    salvage certificate shall be issued in the name of the

11    this Code, or a lien arising under Section 18a-501 of this
12    Code shall be deemed salvage or junk at the option of the
13    purchaser. The person acquiring such vehicle in such manner
14    shall promptly deliver or mail, within 20 days after the
15    acquisition of the vehicle, the certificate of purchase,
16    the proper application and fee, and, if the vehicle is an
17    abandoned mobile home under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act,

19    the vehicle was purchased or acquired at a public sale
20    under the Abandoned Mobile Home Act to the Secretary of

26    was acquired by the applicant under this Code.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1748 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        (3) A vehicle which has been repossessed by a
2    lienholder shall be considered to be salvage only when the
3    repossessed vehicle, on the date of repossession by the
4    lienholder, has sustained damage by collision, fire,
5    theft, rust corrosion, or other means so that the cost of
6    repairing such damage, including labor, would be greater
7    than 33 1/3% of its fair market value without such damage.
8    If the lienholder determines that such vehicle is damaged
9    in excess of 33 1/3% of such fair market value, the
10    lienholder shall, before sale, transfer or assignment of
11    the vehicle, make application for a salvage certificate,
12    and shall submit with such application the proper fee and
13    evidence of possession. If the facts required to be shown
14    in subsection (f) of Section 3-114 are satisfied, the
15    Secretary of State shall issue a salvage certificate in the
16    name of the lienholder making the application. In any case
17    wherein the vehicle repossessed is not damaged in excess of
18    33 1/3% of its fair market value, the lienholder shall
19    comply with the requirements of subsections (f), (f-5), and
20    (f-10) of Section 3-114, except that the affidavit of
21    repossession made by or on behalf of the lienholder shall
22    also contain an affirmation under penalty of perjury that
23    the vehicle on the date of sale is not damaged in excess of
24    33 1/3% of its fair market value. If the facts required to

4        (4) A vehicle which is a part of a fleet of more than 5
5    commercial vehicles registered in this State or any other
6    state or registered proportionately among several states
7    shall be considered to be salvage when such vehicle has
8    sustained damage by collision, fire, theft, rust,
9    corrosion or similar means so that the cost of repairing
10    such damage, including labor, would be greater than 33 1/3%
11    of the fair market value of the vehicle without such
12    damage. If the owner of a fleet vehicle desires to sell,
13    transfer, or assign his interest in such vehicle to a
14    person within this State other than an insurance company
15    licensed to do business within this State, and the owner
16    determines that such vehicle, at the time of the proposed
17    sale, transfer or assignment is damaged in excess of 33
18    1/3% of its fair market value, the owner shall, before such
19    sale, transfer or assignment, make application for a
20    salvage certificate. The application shall contain with it
21    evidence of possession of the vehicle. If the fleet vehicle
22    at the time of its sale, transfer, or assignment is not
23    damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of its fair market value, the
24    owner shall so state in a written affirmation on a form
25    prescribed by the Secretary of State by rule or regulation.
26    The Secretary of State may by rule or regulation require

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1750 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    photographs to be submitted. Upon sale, transfer or
2    assignment of the fleet vehicle the owner shall mail the
3    affirmation to the Secretary of State.
4        (5) A vehicle that has been submerged in water to the
5    point that rising water has reached over the door sill and
6    has entered the passenger or trunk compartment is a "flood
7    vehicle". A flood vehicle shall be considered to be salvage
8    only if the vehicle has sustained damage so that the cost
9    of repairing the damage, including labor, would be greater
10    than 33 1/3% of the fair market value of the vehicle
11    without that damage. The salvage certificate issued under
12    this Section shall indicate the word "flood", and the word
13    "flood" shall be conspicuously entered on subsequent
14    titles for the vehicle. A person who possesses or acquires
15    a flood vehicle that is not damaged in excess of 33 1/3% of
16    its fair market value shall make application for title in
17    accordance with Section 3-116 of this Code, designating the
18    vehicle as "flood" in a manner prescribed by the Secretary
19    of State. The certificate of title issued shall indicate
20    the word "flood", and the word "flood" shall be
21    conspicuously entered on subsequent titles for the
22    vehicle.
23        (6) When any licensed rebuilder, repairer, new or used
24    vehicle dealer, or remittance agent has submitted an
25    application for title to a vehicle (other than an
26    application for title to a rebuilt vehicle) that he or she

1    knows or reasonably should have known to have sustained
2    damages in excess of 33 1/3% of the vehicle's fair market
3    value without that damage; provided, however, that any
4    application for a salvage certificate for a vehicle
5    recovered from theft and acquired from an insurance company
6    shall be made as required by paragraph (1) of this
7    subsection (b).
8    (c) Any person who without authority acquires, sells,
9exchanges, gives away, transfers or destroys or offers to
10acquire, sell, exchange, give away, transfer or destroy the
11certificate of title to any vehicle which is a junk or salvage
12vehicle shall be guilty of a Class 3 felony.
13    (d) Except as provided under subsection (a), any person who
14knowingly fails to surrender to the Secretary of State a
15certificate of title, salvage certificate, certificate of
16purchase or a similarly acceptable out-of-state document of

3    (a) The Department with respect to highways under its
4jurisdiction and local authorities with respect to highways
5under their jurisdiction may, in their discretion, upon
6application and good cause being shown therefor, issue a
7special permit authorizing the applicant to operate or move a
8vehicle or combination of vehicles of a size or weight of
9vehicle or load exceeding the maximum specified in this Code
10Act or otherwise not in conformity with this Code Act upon any
11highway under the jurisdiction of the party granting such
12permit and for the maintenance of which the party is
13responsible. Applications and permits other than those in
14written or printed form may only be accepted from and issued to
15the company or individual making the movement. Except for an
16application to move directly across a highway, it shall be the
17duty of the applicant to establish in the application that the
18load to be moved by such vehicle or combination cannot
19reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, the reasonableness
20of which shall be determined by the Secretary of the
21Department. For the purpose of over length movements, more than
22one object may be carried side by side as long as the height,
23width, and weight laws are not exceeded and the cause for the
24over length is not due to multiple objects. For the purpose of
25over height movements, more than one object may be carried as

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1816 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1long as the cause for the over height is not due to multiple
2objects and the length, width, and weight laws are not
3exceeded. For the purpose of an over width movement, more than
4one object may be carried as long as the cause for the over
5width is not due to multiple objects and length, height, and
6weight laws are not exceeded. Except for transporting fluid
7milk products, no State or local agency shall authorize the
8issuance of excess size or weight permits for vehicles and
9loads that are divisible and that can be carried, when divided,
10within the existing size or weight maximums specified in this
11Chapter. Any excess size or weight permit issued in violation
12of the provisions of this Section shall be void at issue and
13any movement made thereunder shall not be authorized under the
14terms of the void permit. In any prosecution for a violation of
15this Chapter when the authorization of an excess size or weight
16permit is at issue, it is the burden of the defendant to
17establish that the permit was valid because the load to be
18moved could not reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, or
19was otherwise nondivisible.
20    (b) The application for any such permit shall: (1) state
21whether such permit is requested for a single trip or for
22limited continuous operation; (2) state if the applicant is an
23authorized carrier under the Illinois Motor Carrier of Property
24Law, if so, his certificate, registration, or permit number
25issued by the Illinois Commerce Commission; (3) specifically

2the points of origin and destination, and may identify and
3include a request for routing to the nearest certified scale in
4accordance with the Department's rules and regulations,
5provided the applicant has approval to travel on local roads;
6and (5) state if the vehicles or loads are being transported
7for hire. No permits for the movement of a vehicle or load for
8hire shall be issued to any applicant who is required under the
9Illinois Motor Carrier of Property Law to have a certificate,
10registration, or permit and does not have such certificate,
11registration, or permit.
12    (c) The Department or local authority when not inconsistent
13with traffic safety is authorized to issue or withhold such
14permit at its discretion; or, if such permit is issued at its
15discretion to prescribe the route or routes to be traveled, to
16limit the number of trips, to establish seasonal or other time
17limitations within which the vehicles described may be operated
18on the highways indicated, or otherwise to limit or prescribe
19conditions of operations of such vehicle or vehicles, when
20necessary to assure against undue damage to the road
21foundations, surfaces or structures, and may require such
22undertaking or other security as may be deemed necessary to

20vehicle registered by the Secretary of State with axle loads
21not to exceed 35%, on a 3-axle or 4-axle vehicle registered by
22the Secretary of State with axle loads not to exceed 20%, and
23on a 5-axle vehicle registered by the Secretary of State not to
24exceed 10% above those provided in Section 15-111. The total
25gross weight of the vehicle, however, may not exceed the
26maximum gross weight of the registration class of the vehicle

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1819 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1allowed under Section 3-815 or 3-818 of this Code.
2    As used in this Section, "agricultural commodities" means:
3        (1) cultivated plants or agricultural produce grown,
4    including, but not limited to, corn, soybeans, wheat, oats,
5    grain sorghum, canola, and rice;
6        (2) livestock, including, but not limited to, hogs,
7    equine, sheep, and poultry;

9        (4) fruits and vegetables.
10    Permits may be issued for a period not to exceed 40 days
11and moves may be made of a distance not to exceed 50 miles from
12a field, an on-farm grain storage facility, a warehouse as
13defined in the Grain Code, or a livestock management facility
14as defined in the Livestock Management Facilities Act over any
15highway except the National System of Interstate and Defense

17posted bridge and posted highway weight limits. All implements
18of husbandry operating under this Section between sunset and
19sunrise shall be equipped as prescribed in Section 12-205.1.
20    (e-1) A special permit shall be issued by the Department
21under this Section and shall be required from September 1
22through December 31 for a vehicle that exceeds the maximum axle
23weight and gross weight limits under Section 15-111 of this
24Code or exceeds the vehicle's registered gross weight, provided
25that the vehicle's axle weight and gross weight do not exceed
2610% above the maximum limits under Section 15-111 of this Code

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1820 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1and does not exceed the vehicle's registered gross weight by
210%. All other restrictions that apply to permits issued under
3this Section shall apply during the declared time period and no
4fee shall be charged for the issuance of those permits. Permits
5issued by the Department under this subsection (e-1) are only
6valid on federal and State highways under the jurisdiction of
7the Department, except interstate highways. With respect to
8highways under the jurisdiction of local authorities, the local
9authorities may, at their discretion, waive special permit
10requirements, and set a divisible load weight limit not to
11exceed 10% above a vehicle's registered gross weight, provided
12that the vehicle's axle weight and gross weight do not exceed
1310% above the maximum limits specified in Section 15-111.
14Permits issued under this subsection (e-1) shall apply to all
15registered vehicles eligible to obtain permits under this
16Section, including vehicles used in private or for-hire
17movement of divisible load agricultural commodities during the
18declared time period.
19    (f) The form and content of the permit shall be determined
20by the Department with respect to highways under its
21jurisdiction and by local authorities with respect to highways
22under their jurisdiction. Every permit shall be in written form
23and carried in the vehicle or combination of vehicles to which
24it refers and shall be open to inspection by any police officer
25or authorized agent of any authority granting the permit and no
26person shall violate any of the terms or conditions of such

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1821 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1special permit. Violation of the terms and conditions of the
2permit shall not be deemed a revocation of the permit; however,
3any vehicle and load found to be off the route prescribed in
4the permit shall be held to be operating without a permit. Any
5off-route off route vehicle and load shall be required to
6obtain a new permit or permits, as necessary, to authorize the
7movement back onto the original permit routing. No rule or
8regulation, nor anything herein, shall be construed to
9authorize any police officer, court, or authorized agent of any
10authority granting the permit to remove the permit from the
11possession of the permittee unless the permittee is charged
12with a fraudulent permit violation as provided in subsection
13(i). However, upon arrest for an offense of violation of
14permit, operating without a permit when the vehicle is off
15route, or any size or weight offense under this Chapter when
16the permittee plans to raise the issuance of the permit as a
17defense, the permittee, or his agent, must produce the permit
18at any court hearing concerning the alleged offense.
19    If the permit designates and includes a routing to a
20certified scale, the permittee, while en route enroute to the
21designated scale, shall be deemed in compliance with the weight
22provisions of the permit provided the axle or gross weights do
23not exceed any of the permitted limits by more than the
24following amounts:
25        Single axle               2000 pounds
26        Tandem axle               3000 pounds

2    (g) The Department is authorized to adopt, amend, and to
3make available to interested persons a policy concerning
4reasonable rules, limitations and conditions or provisions of
5operation upon highways under its jurisdiction in addition to
6those contained in this Section for the movement by special
7permit of vehicles, combinations, or loads which cannot
8reasonably be dismantled or disassembled, including
9manufactured and modular home sections and portions thereof.
10All rules, limitations and conditions or provisions adopted in
11the policy shall have due regard for the safety of the
12traveling public and the protection of the highway system and
13shall have been promulgated in conformity with the provisions
14of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. The requirements
15of the policy for flagmen and escort vehicles shall be the same
16for all moves of comparable size and weight. When escort
17vehicles are required, they shall meet the following
18requirements:
19        (1) All operators shall be 18 years of age or over and
20    properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
21        (2) Vehicles escorting oversized loads more than 12

26regulations regarding liability insurance or self insurance

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1823 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1for vehicles with oversized loads promulgated under the
2Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. Police vehicles may be
3required for escort under circumstances as required by rules
4and regulations of the Department.
5    (h) Violation of any rule, limitation or condition or
6provision of any permit issued in accordance with the
7provisions of this Section shall not render the entire permit
8null and void but the violator shall be deemed guilty of
9violation of permit and guilty of exceeding any size, weight,
10or load limitations in excess of those authorized by the
11permit. The prescribed route or routes on the permit are not
12mere rules, limitations, conditions, or provisions of the
13permit, but are also the sole extent of the authorization
14granted by the permit. If a vehicle and load are found to be
15off the route or routes prescribed by any permit authorizing
16movement, the vehicle and load are operating without a permit.
17Any off-route movement shall be subject to the size and weight
18maximums, under the applicable provisions of this Chapter, as
19determined by the type or class highway upon which the vehicle
20and load are being operated.
21    (i) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made under
22a fraudulent permit, the permit shall be void, and the person,
23firm, or corporation to whom such permit was granted, the
24driver of such vehicle in addition to the person who issued
25such permit and any accessory, shall be guilty of fraud and
26either one or all persons may be prosecuted for such violation.

1Any person, firm, or corporation committing such violation
2shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony and the Department shall
3not issue permits to the person, firm, or corporation convicted
4of such violation for a period of one year after the date of
5conviction. Penalties for violations of this Section shall be
6in addition to any penalties imposed for violation of other
7Sections of this Code.
8    (j) Whenever any vehicle is operated or movement made in
9violation of a permit issued in accordance with this Section,
10the person to whom such permit was granted, or the driver of
11such vehicle, is guilty of such violation and either, but not
12both, persons may be prosecuted for such violation as stated in
13this subsection (j). Any person, firm, or corporation convicted
14of such violation shall be guilty of a petty offense and shall
15be fined, for the first offense, not less than $50 nor more
16than $200 and, for the second offense by the same person, firm,
17or corporation within a period of one year, not less than $200
18nor more than $300 and, for the third offense by the same
19person, firm, or corporation within a period of one year after
20the date of the first offense, not less than $300 nor more than
21$500 and the Department may, in its discretion descretion, not
22issue permits to the person, firm, or corporation convicted of
23a third offense during a period of one year after the date of
24conviction or supervision for such third offense. If any
25violation is the cause or contributing cause in a motor vehicle
26accident causing damage to property, injury, or death to a

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1825 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1person, the Department may, in its discretion, not issue a
2permit to the person, firm, or corporation for a period of one
3year after the date of conviction or supervision for the
4offense.
5    (k) Whenever any vehicle is operated on local roads under
6permits for excess width or length issued by local authorities,
7such vehicle may be moved upon a State highway for a distance
8not to exceed one-half mile without a permit for the purpose of
9crossing the State highway.
10    (l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
11the Department, with respect to highways under its
12jurisdiction, and local authorities, with respect to highways
13under their jurisdiction, may at their discretion authorize the
14movement of a vehicle in violation of any size or weight
15requirement, or both, that would not ordinarily be eligible for
16a permit, when there is a showing of extreme necessity that the
17vehicle and load should be moved without unnecessary delay.
18    For the purpose of this subsection, showing of extreme
19necessity shall be limited to the following: shipments of
20livestock, hazardous materials, liquid concrete being hauled
21in a mobile cement mixer, or hot asphalt.
22    (m) Penalties for violations of this Section shall be in
23addition to any penalties imposed for violating any other
24Section of this Code.

13    (o) (Blank).
14    (p) In determining whether a load may be reasonably
15dismantled or disassembled for the purpose of subsection (a),
16the Department shall consider whether there is a significant
17negative impact on the condition of the pavement and structures
18along the proposed route, whether the load or vehicle as
19proposed causes a safety hazard to the traveling public,
20whether dismantling or disassembling the load promotes or
21stifles economic development, and whether the proposed route
22travels less than 5 miles. A load is not required to be
23dismantled or disassembled for the purposes of subsection (a)
24if the Secretary of the Department determines there will be no
25significant negative impact to pavement or structures along the
26proposed route, the proposed load or vehicle causes no safety

20public safety requires such alteration or abolition, and,
21except in cities, villages, and incorporated towns of 1,000,000
22or more inhabitants, to vacate and close that part of the
23highway on such crossing altered or abolished and cause

1crossing in question is not such as to justify the further
2retention thereof; or to require a separation of grades, at
3railroad-highway grade crossings; or to require a separation of
4grades at any proposed crossing where a proposed public highway
5may cross the tracks of any rail carrier or carriers; and to
6prescribe, after a hearing of the parties, the terms upon which
7such separations shall be made and the proportion in which the
8expense of the alteration or abolition of such crossings or the
9separation of such grades, having regard to the benefits, if
10any, accruing to the rail carrier or any party in interest,
11shall be divided between the rail carrier or carriers affected,
12or between such carrier or carriers and the State, county,
13municipality or other public authority in interest. However, a
14public hearing by the Commission to abolish a crossing shall
15not be required when the public highway authority in interest
16vacates the highway. In such instance the rail carrier,
17following notification to the Commission and the highway
18authority, shall remove any grade crossing warning devices and
19the grade crossing surface.
20    The Commission shall also have power by its order to
21require the reconstruction, minor alteration, minor
22relocation, or improvement of any crossing (including the
23necessary highway approaches thereto) of any railroad across
24any highway or public road, pedestrian bridge, or pedestrian
25subway, whether such crossing be at grade or by overhead
26structure or by subway, whenever the Commission finds after a

1hearing or without a hearing as otherwise provided in this
2paragraph that such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or
3improvement is necessary to preserve or promote the safety or
4convenience of the public or of the employees or passengers of
5such rail carrier or carriers. By its original order or
6supplemental orders in such case, the Commission may direct
7such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or improvement to
8be made in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as
9may be reasonable and necessary and may apportion the cost of
10such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or improvement
11and the subsequent maintenance thereof, having regard to the
12benefits, if any, accruing to the railroad or any party in
13interest, between the rail carrier or carriers and public
14utilities affected, or between such carrier or carriers and
15public utilities and the State, county, municipality or other
16public authority in interest. The cost to be so apportioned
17shall include the cost of changes or alterations in the
18equipment of public utilities affected as well as the cost of
19the relocation, diversion or establishment of any public
20highway, made necessary by such reconstruction, alteration,
21relocation, or improvement of said crossing. A hearing shall
22not be required in those instances when the Commission enters
23an order confirming a written stipulation in which the
24Commission, the public highway authority or other public
25authority in interest, the rail carrier or carriers affected,
26and in instances involving the use of the Grade Crossing

2agree on the reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or
3improvement and the subsequent maintenance thereof and the
4division of costs of such changes of any grade crossing
5(including the necessary highway approaches thereto) of any
6railroad across any highway, pedestrian bridge, or pedestrian
7subway.
8    Every rail carrier operating in the State of Illinois shall
9construct and maintain every highway crossing over its tracks
10within the State so that the roadway at the intersection shall
11be as flush with the rails as superelevated curves will allow,
12and, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission, shall
13construct and maintain the approaches thereto at a grade of not
14more than 5% within the right of way for a distance of not less
15the 6 feet on each side of the centerline of such tracks;
16provided, that the grades at the approaches may be maintained
17in excess of 5% only when authorized by the Commission.
18    Every rail carrier operating within this State shall remove
19from its right of way at all railroad-highway grade crossings
20within the State, such brush, shrubbery, and trees as is
21reasonably practical for a distance of not less than 500 feet
22in either direction from each grade crossing. The Commission
23shall have power, upon its own motion, or upon complaint, and
24after having made proper investigation, to require the
25installation of adequate and appropriate luminous reflective
26warning signs, luminous flashing signals, crossing gates

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1838 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1illuminated at night, or other protective devices in order to
2promote and safeguard the health and safety of the public.
3Luminous flashing signal or crossing gate devices installed at
4grade crossings, which have been approved by the Commission,
5shall be deemed adequate and appropriate. The Commission shall
6have authority to determine the number, type, and location of
7such signs, signals, gates, or other protective devices which,
8however, shall conform as near as may be with generally
9recognized national standards, and the Commission shall have
10authority to prescribe the division of the cost of the
11installation and subsequent maintenance of such signs,
12signals, gates, or other protective devices between the rail
13carrier or carriers, the public highway authority or other
14public authority in interest, and in instances involving the
15use of the Grade Crossing Protection Fund, the Illinois
16Department of Transportation. Except where train crews provide
17flagging of the crossing to road users, yield signs shall be
18installed at all highway intersections with every grade
19crossing in this State that is not equipped with automatic
20warning devices, such as luminous flashing signals or crossing
21gate devices. A stop sign may be used in lieu of the yield sign
22when an engineering study conducted in cooperation with the
23highway authority and the Illinois Department of
24Transportation has determined that a stop sign is warranted. If
25the Commission has ordered the installation of luminous
26flashing signal or crossing gate devices at a grade crossing

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1839 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1not equipped with active warning devices, the Commission shall
2order the installation of temporary stop signs at the highway
3intersection with the grade crossing unless an engineering
4study has determined that a stop sign is not appropriate. If a
5stop sign is not appropriate, the Commission may order the
6installation of other appropriate supplemental signing as
7determined by an engineering study. The temporary signs shall
8remain in place until the luminous flashing signal or crossing
9gate devices have been installed. The rail carrier is
10responsible for the installation and subsequent maintenance of
11any required signs. The permanent signs shall be in place by
12July 1, 2011.
13    No railroad may change or modify the warning device system
14at a railroad-highway grade crossing, including warning
15systems interconnected with highway traffic control signals,
16without having first received the approval of the Commission.
17The Commission shall have the further power, upon application,
18upon its own motion, or upon complaint and after having made
19proper investigation, to require the interconnection of grade
20crossing warning devices with traffic control signals at
21highway intersections located at or near railroad crossings
22within the distances described by the State Manual on Uniform
23Traffic Control Devices adopted pursuant to Section 11-301 of
24this Code. In addition, State and local authorities may not
25install, remove, modernize, or otherwise modify traffic
26control signals at a highway intersection that is

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1840 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1interconnected or proposed to be interconnected with grade
2crossing warning devices when the change affects the number,
3type, or location of traffic control devices on the track
4approach leg or legs of the intersection or the timing of the
5railroad preemption sequence of operation until the Commission
6has approved the installation, removal, modernization, or
7modification. Commission approval shall be limited to
8consideration of issues directly affecting the public safety at
9the railroad-highway grade crossing. The electrical circuit
10devices, alternate warning devices, and preemption sequences
11shall conform as nearly as possible, considering the particular
12characteristics of the crossing and intersection area, to the
13State manual adopted by the Illinois Department of
14Transportation pursuant to Section 11-301 of this Code and such
15federal standards as are made applicable by subsection (2) of
16this Section. In order to carry out this authority, the
17Commission shall have the authority to determine the number,
18type, and location of traffic control devices on the track
19approach leg or legs of the intersection and the timing of the
20railroad preemption sequence of operation. The Commission
21shall prescribe the division of costs for installation and
22maintenance of all devices required by this paragraph between
23the railroad or railroads and the highway authority in interest
24and in instances involving the use of the Grade Crossing
25Protection Fund or a State highway, the Illinois Department of
26Transportation.

4    angle of intersection of those alignments;
5        (h) use of the grade crossing by trucks carrying
6    hazardous materials, vehicles carrying passengers for
7    hire, and school buses; and
8        (i) use of the grade crossing by emergency vehicles.
9    The Illinois Commerce Commission, upon petition to open or
10abolish a grade crossing, shall enter an order opening or
11abolishing the crossing if it meets the specific criteria
12adopted by the Commission.
13    Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (3), in no
14instance shall a grade crossing be permanently closed without
15public hearing first being held and notice of such hearing
16being published in an area newspaper of local general
17circulation.
18    (4) Freight Trains; Radio Trains - Radio Communications.
19The Commission shall after hearing and order require that every
20main line railroad freight train operating on main tracks
21outside of yard limits within this State shall be equipped with

1the same to be practical and necessary for safety of railroad
2employees, bridges and trestles, over and upon which railroad
3trains are operated, shall include as a part thereof, a safe
4and suitable walkway and handrail on one side only of such
5bridge or trestle, and such handrail shall be located at the
6outer edge of the walkway and shall provide a clearance of not
7less than 8 feet, 6 inches, from the center line of the nearest
8track, measured at right angles thereto.
9    (6) Packages Containing Articles for First Aid to Injured
10on Trains.
11        (a) All rail carriers shall provide a first aid kit
12    that contains, at a minimum, those articles prescribed by
13    the Commission, on each train or engine, for first aid to
14    persons who may be injured in the course of the operation
15    of such trains.
16        (b) A vehicle, excluding a taxi cab used in an
17    emergency situation, operated by a contract carrier
18    transporting railroad employees in the course of their
19    employment shall be equipped with a readily available first
20    aid kit that contains, as a minimum, the same articles that
21    are required on each train or engine.

8    (8) Railroad-Highway Bridge Clearance. A vertical
9clearance of not less than 23 feet above the top of rail shall
10be provided for all new or reconstructed highway bridges
11constructed over a railroad track. The Commission may permit a
12lesser clearance if it determines that the 23-foot 23 foot
13clearance standard cannot be justified based on engineering,
14operational, and economic conditions.
15    (9) Right of Access To Railroad Property.
16        (a) A community antenna television company franchised
17    by a municipality or county pursuant to the Illinois

5    (720 ILCS 646/80)
6    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 100-987)
7    Sec. 80. Assessment.
8    (a) Every person convicted of a violation of this Act, and
9every person placed on probation, conditional discharge,
10supervision, or probation under this Act, shall be assessed for
11each offense a sum fixed at:
12        (1) $3,000 for a Class X felony;
13        (2) $2,000 for a Class 1 felony;
14        (3) $1,000 for a Class 2 felony;
15        (4) $500 for a Class 3 or Class 4 felony.
16    (b) The assessment under this Section is in addition to and
17not in lieu of any fines, restitution, costs, forfeitures, or
18other assessments authorized or required by law.
19    (c) As a condition of the assessment, the court may require
20that payment be made in specified installments or within a
21specified period of time. If the assessment is not paid within
22the period of probation, conditional discharge, or supervision
23to which the defendant was originally sentenced, the court may
24extend the period of probation, conditional discharge, or

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1891 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1supervision pursuant to Section 5-6-2 or 5-6-3.1 of the Unified
2Code of Corrections, as applicable, until the assessment is
3paid or until successful completion of public or community
4service set forth in subsection (e) or the successful
5completion of the substance abuse intervention or treatment
6program set forth in subsection (f). If a term of probation,
7conditional discharge, or supervision is not imposed, the
8assessment shall be payable upon judgment or as directed by the
9court.
10    (d) If an assessment for a violation of this Act is imposed
11on an organization, it is the duty of each individual
12authorized to make disbursements of the assets of the
13organization to pay the assessment from assets of the
14organization.
15    (e) A defendant who has been ordered to pay an assessment
16may petition the court to convert all or part of the assessment
17into court-approved public or community service. One hour of
18public or community service shall be equivalent to $4 of
19assessment. The performance of this public or community service
20shall be a condition of the probation, conditional discharge,
21or supervision and shall be in addition to the performance of
22any other period of public or community service ordered by the
23court or required by law.
24    (f) The court may suspend the collection of the assessment
25imposed under this Section if the defendant agrees to enter a

2portion of the costs associated with the intervention or
3treatment program. In this case, the collection of the
4assessment imposed under this Section shall be suspended during
5the defendant's participation in the approved intervention or
6treatment program. Upon successful completion of the program,
7the defendant may apply to the court to reduce the assessment
8imposed under this Section by any amount actually paid by the
9defendant for his or her participation in the program. The
10court shall not reduce the penalty under this subsection unless
11the defendant establishes to the satisfaction of the court that
12he or she has successfully completed the intervention or
13treatment program. If the defendant's participation is for any
14reason terminated before his or her successful completion of
15the intervention or treatment program, collection of the entire
16assessment imposed under this Section shall be enforced.
17Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect or suspend
18any other fines, restitution costs, forfeitures, or
19assessments imposed under this or any other Act.
20    (g) The court shall not impose more than one assessment per
21complaint, indictment, or information. If the person is
22convicted of more than one offense in a complaint, indictment,
23or information, the assessment shall be based on the highest
24class offense for which the person is convicted.

9    (b) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
10subsection (b). The remedies listed in this subsection (b)
11shall be in addition to other civil or criminal remedies
12available to petitioner.
13        (1) Prohibition of abuse. Prohibit respondent's
14    harassment, interference with personal liberty,
15    intimidation of a dependent, physical abuse, or willful
16    deprivation, as defined in this Article, if such abuse has
17    occurred or otherwise appears likely to occur if not

19        (2) Grant of exclusive possession of residence.
20    Prohibit respondent from entering or remaining in any
21    residence, household, or premises of the petitioner,
22    including one owned or leased by respondent, if petitioner
23    has a right to occupancy thereof. The grant of exclusive
24    possession of the residence, household, or premises shall
25    not affect title to real property, nor shall the court be

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1901 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    limited by the standard set forth in subsection (c-2) of
2    Section 501 of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of
3    Marriage Act.
4            (A) Right to occupancy. A party has a right to
5        occupancy of a residence or household if it is solely
6        or jointly owned or leased by that party, that party's
7        spouse, a person with a legal duty to support that
8        party or a minor child in that party's care, or by any
9        person or entity other than the opposing party that
10        authorizes that party's occupancy (e.g., a domestic
11        violence shelter). Standards set forth in subparagraph
12        (B) shall not preclude equitable relief.
13            (B) Presumption of hardships. If petitioner and
14        respondent each has the right to occupancy of a
15        residence or household, the court shall balance (i) the
16        hardships to respondent and any minor child or
17        dependent adult in respondent's care resulting from
18        entry of this remedy with (ii) the hardships to
19        petitioner and any minor child or dependent adult in
20        petitioner's care resulting from continued exposure to
21        the risk of abuse (should petitioner remain at the
22        residence or household) or from loss of possession of
23        the residence or household (should petitioner leave to
24        avoid the risk of abuse). When determining the balance
25        of hardships, the court shall also take into account
26        the accessibility of the residence or household.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1902 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1903 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        residence, or orders respondent to stay away from
2        petitioner or other protected persons, then the court
3        may allow respondent access to the residence to remove
4        items of clothing and personal adornment used
5        exclusively by respondent, medications, and other
6        items as the court directs. The right to access shall
7        be exercised on only one occasion as the court directs
8        and in the presence of an agreed-upon adult third party
9        or law enforcement officer.
10            (B) When the petitioner and the respondent attend
11        the same public, private, or non-public elementary,
12        middle, or high school, the court when issuing a
13        domestic violence order of protection and providing
14        relief shall consider the severity of the act, any
15        continuing physical danger or emotional distress to
16        the petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to
17        the petitioner and respondent under federal and State
18        law, the availability of a transfer of the respondent
19        to another school, a change of placement or a change of
20        program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
21        and educational disruption that would be caused by a
22        transfer of the respondent to another school, and any
23        other relevant facts of the case. The court may order
24        that the respondent not attend the public, private, or
25        non-public elementary, middle, or high school attended
26        by the petitioner, order that the respondent accept a

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1904 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1905 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        determine the attendance center to which the
2        respondent is transferred. If the court order results
3        in a transfer of the minor respondent to another
4        attendance center, a change in the respondent's
5        placement, or a change of the respondent's program, the
6        parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
7        respondent is responsible for transportation and other
8        costs associated with the transfer or change.
9            (C) The court may order the parents, guardian, or
10        legal custodian of a minor respondent to take certain
11        actions or to refrain from taking certain actions to
12        ensure that the respondent complies with the order. If
13        the court orders a transfer of the respondent to
14        another school, the parents, guardian, or legal
15        custodian of the respondent is responsible for
16        transportation and other costs associated with the
17        change of school by the respondent.
18        (4) Counseling. Require or recommend the respondent to

1    Department of Human Services protocol approved partner
2    abuse intervention program for an assessment and to follow
3    all recommended treatment.
4        (5) Physical care and possession of the minor child. In
5    order to protect the minor child from abuse, neglect, or
6    unwarranted separation from the person who has been the
7    minor child's primary caretaker, or to otherwise protect
8    the well-being of the minor child, the court may do either
9    or both of the following: (i) grant petitioner physical
10    care or possession of the minor child, or both, or (ii)
11    order respondent to return a minor child to, or not remove
12    a minor child from, the physical care of a parent or person
13    in loco parentis.
14        If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in
15    Section 112A-3 of this Code) of a minor child, there shall
16    be a rebuttable presumption that awarding physical care to
17    respondent would not be in the minor child's best interest.
18        (6) Temporary allocation of parental responsibilities
19    and significant decision-making responsibilities. Award
20    temporary significant decision-making responsibility to
21    petitioner in accordance with this Section, the Illinois

23    Parentage Act of 2015, and this State's Uniform
24    Child-Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
25        If the respondent is charged with abuse (as defined in

HB3249 Enrolled- 1907 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    be a rebuttable presumption that awarding temporary
2    significant decision-making responsibility to respondent
3    would not be in the child's best interest.
4        (7) Parenting time. Determine the parenting time, if
5    any, of respondent in any case in which the court awards
6    physical care or temporary significant decision-making
7    responsibility of a minor child to petitioner. The court
8    shall restrict or deny respondent's parenting time with a
9    minor child if the court finds that respondent has done or
10    is likely to do any of the following:
11            (i) abuse or endanger the minor child during
12        parenting time;
13            (ii) use the parenting time as an opportunity to
14        abuse or harass petitioner or petitioner's family or
15        household members;
16            (iii) improperly conceal or detain the minor
17        child; or
18            (iv) otherwise act in a manner that is not in the
19        best interests of the minor child.
20        The court shall not be limited by the standards set
21    forth in Section 603.10 of the Illinois Marriage and
22    Dissolution of Marriage Act. If the court grants parenting
23    time, the order shall specify dates and times for the
24    parenting time to take place or other specific parameters
25    or conditions that are appropriate. No order for parenting
26    time shall refer merely to the term "reasonable parenting

1    time". Petitioner may deny respondent access to the minor
2    child if, when respondent arrives for parenting time,
3    respondent is under the influence of drugs or alcohol and
4    constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being of
5    petitioner or petitioner's minor children or is behaving in
6    a violent or abusive manner. If necessary to protect any
7    member of petitioner's family or household from future
8    abuse, respondent shall be prohibited from coming to
9    petitioner's residence to meet the minor child for
10    parenting time, and the petitioner and respondent shall
11    submit to the court their recommendations for reasonable
12    alternative arrangements for parenting time. A person may
13    be approved to supervise parenting time only after filing
14    an affidavit accepting that responsibility and
15    acknowledging accountability to the court.
16        (8) Removal or concealment of minor child. Prohibit
17    respondent from removing a minor child from the State or
18    concealing the child within the State.
19        (9) Order to appear. Order the respondent to appear in
20    court, alone or with a minor child, to prevent abuse,
21    neglect, removal or concealment of the child, to return the
22    child to the custody or care of the petitioner, or to
23    permit any court-ordered interview or examination of the
24    child or the respondent.
25        (10) Possession of personal property. Grant petitioner
26    exclusive possession of personal property and, if

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1909 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1911 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 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 of a
5    child, or an order or agreement for physical care of a
6    child, prior to entry of an order allocating significant
7    decision-making responsibility. Such a support order shall
8    expire upon entry of a valid order allocating parental
9    responsibility differently and vacating petitioner's
10    significant decision-making responsibility unless
11    otherwise provided in the order.
12        (13) Order for payment of losses. Order respondent to
13    pay petitioner for losses suffered as a direct result of
14    the abuse. Such losses shall include, but not be limited
15    to, medical expenses, lost earnings or other support,
16    repair or replacement of property damaged or taken,
17    reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and moving or
18    other travel expenses, including additional reasonable
19    expenses for temporary shelter and restaurant meals.
20            (i) Losses affecting family needs. If a party is
21        entitled to seek maintenance, child support, or
22        property distribution from the other party under the
23        Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, as
24        now or hereafter amended, the court may order
25        respondent to reimburse petitioner's actual losses, to
26        the extent that such reimbursement would be

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1912 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        "appropriate temporary relief", as authorized by
2        subsection (a)(3) of Section 501 of that Act.
3            (ii) Recovery of expenses. In the case of an
4        improper concealment or removal of a minor child, the
5        court may order respondent to pay the reasonable
6        expenses incurred or to be incurred in the search for
7        and recovery of the minor child, including, but not
8        limited to, legal fees, court costs, private
9        investigator fees, and travel costs.
10        (14) Prohibition of entry. Prohibit the respondent
11    from entering or remaining in the residence or household
12    while the respondent is under the influence of alcohol or
13    drugs and constitutes a threat to the safety and well-being
14    of the petitioner or the petitioner's children.
15        (14.5) Prohibition of firearm possession.
16            (A) A person who is subject to an existing domestic
17        violence order of protection issued under this Code may
18        not lawfully possess weapons under Section 8.2 of the
19        Firearm Owners Identification Card Act.
20            (B) Any firearms in the possession of the
21        respondent, except as provided in subparagraph (C) of
22        this paragraph (14.5), shall be ordered by the court to
23        be turned over to a person with a valid Firearm Owner's
24        Identification Card for safekeeping. The court shall
25        issue an order that the respondent's Firearm Owner's
26        Identification Card be turned over to the local law

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1913 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        enforcement agency, which in turn shall immediately
2        mail the card to the Department of State Police Firearm
3        Owner's Identification Card Office for safekeeping.
4        The period of safekeeping shall be for the duration of
5        the domestic violence order of protection. The firearm

14        be surrendered to the chief law enforcement executive
15        of the agency in which the respondent is employed, who
16        shall retain the firearms for safekeeping for the
17        duration of the domestic violence order of protection.
18            (D) Upon expiration of the period of safekeeping,
19        if the firearms or Firearm Owner's Identification Card
20        cannot be returned to respondent because respondent
21        cannot be located, fails to respond to requests to
22        retrieve the firearms, or is not lawfully eligible to
23        possess a firearm, upon petition from the local law
24        enforcement agency, the court may order the local law
25        enforcement agency to destroy the firearms, use the
26        firearms for training purposes, or for any other

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1914 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        application as deemed appropriate by the local law
2        enforcement agency; or that the firearms be turned over
3        to a third party who is lawfully eligible to possess
4        firearms, and who does not reside with respondent.
5        (15) Prohibition of access to records. If a domestic
6    violence order of protection prohibits respondent from
7    having contact with the minor child, or if petitioner's
8    address is omitted under subsection (b) of Section 112A-5
9    of this Code, or if necessary to prevent abuse or wrongful
10    removal or concealment of a minor child, the order shall
11    deny respondent access to, and prohibit respondent from

21    relief necessary or appropriate to prevent further abuse of
22    a family or household member or to effectuate one of the
23    granted remedies, if supported by the balance of hardships.

25    any other harm that one of the remedies listed in
26    paragraphs (1) through (16) of this subsection is designed

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1915 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

3        (18) Telephone services.
4            (A) Unless a condition described in subparagraph
5        (B) of this paragraph exists, the court may, upon
6        request by the petitioner, order a wireless telephone

8        right to continue to use a telephone number or numbers
9        indicated by the petitioner and the financial
10        responsibility associated with the number or numbers,
11        as set forth in subparagraph (C) of this paragraph. In
12        this paragraph (18), the term "wireless telephone
13        service provider" means a provider of commercial

11        hours after it receives the order, that one of the
12        following applies:
13                (i) The account holder named in the order has
14            terminated the account.
15                (ii) A difference in network technology would
16            prevent or impair the functionality of a device on
17            a network if the transfer occurs.
18                (iii) The transfer would cause a geographic or
19            other limitation on network or service provision
20            to the petitioner.
21                (iv) Another technological or operational
22            issue would prevent or impair the use of the
23            telephone number if the transfer occurs.
24            (C) The petitioner assumes all financial
25        responsibility for and right to the use of any
26        telephone number transferred under this paragraph. In

1        this paragraph, "financial responsibility" includes
2        monthly service costs and costs associated with any
3        mobile device associated with the number.
4            (D) A wireless telephone service provider may

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1918 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

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

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1919 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        dependent adult in the party's care;
2            (ii) the effect on the party's employment; and
3            (iii) the effect on the relationship of the party,
4        and any minor child or dependent adult in the party's
5        care, to family, school, church, and community.
6        (3) Subject to the exceptions set forth in paragraph
7    (4) of this subsection (c), the court shall make its
8    findings in an official record or in writing, and shall at
9    a minimum set forth the following:
10            (i) That the court has considered the applicable
11        relevant factors described in paragraphs (1) and (2) of
12        this subsection (c).
13            (ii) Whether the conduct or actions of respondent,
14        unless prohibited, will likely cause irreparable harm
15        or continued abuse.
16            (iii) Whether it is necessary to grant the
17        requested relief in order to protect petitioner or
18        other alleged abused persons.
19        (4) (Blank).
20        (5) Never married parties. No rights or
21    responsibilities for a minor child born outside of marriage
22    attach to a putative father until a father and child
23    relationship has been established under the Illinois
24    Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
25    the Illinois Public Aid Code, Section 12 of the Vital
26    Records Act, the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, the Probate

8    Reconciliation Act of 1996, or when both parties appeared
9    in open court or at an administrative hearing acknowledging
10    under oath or admitting by affirmation the existence of a
11    father and child relationship. Absent such an
12    adjudication, no putative father shall be granted
13    temporary allocation of parental responsibilities,
14    including parenting time with the minor child, or physical
15    care and possession of the minor child, nor shall an order
16    of payment for support of the minor child be entered.
17    (d) Balance of hardships; findings. If the court finds that
18the balance of hardships does not support the granting of a
19remedy governed by paragraph (2), (3), (10), (11), or (16) of
20subsection (b) of this Section, which may require such
21balancing, the court's findings shall so indicate and shall
22include a finding as to whether granting the remedy will result
23in hardship to respondent that would substantially outweigh the
24hardship to petitioner from denial of the remedy. The findings
25shall be an official record or in writing.

14        (6) petitioner did not leave the residence or household
15    to avoid further abuse by respondent; or

18        (5) or victim advocate personnel shall provide
19    appropriate employer intercession services to ensure that
20    employers of victims will cooperate with the criminal
21    justice system in order to minimize an employee's loss of
22    pay and other benefits resulting from court appearances;
23        (6) shall provide, whenever possible, a secure waiting

5    access through a sign language interpreter or by other
6    means;
7        (8) (blank);
8        (8.5) shall inform the victim of the right to be

12    other testimony at trial;

21    court orders filed thereafter in the case, in the same
22    manner as if the victim were a named party in the case;

1    and household members under Section 6 of this Act to
2    present a statement at sentencing; and (C) if a presentence
3    report is to be prepared, the right of the victim's spouse,
4    guardian, parent, grandparent, and other immediate family
5    and household members to submit information to the preparer
6    of the presentence report about the effect the offense has
7    had on the victim and the person;
8        (10) at the sentencing shall make a good faith attempt
9    to explain the minimum amount of time during which the
10    defendant may actually be physically imprisoned. The

12    crime victim of the right to request from the Prisoner
13    Review Board or Department of Juvenile Justice information
14    concerning the release of the defendant;
15        (11) shall request restitution at sentencing and as

22    under subparagraph (d)(2) of this Section;
23        (13) shall provide notice within a reasonable time
24    after receipt of notice from the custodian, of the release
25    of the defendant on bail or personal recognizance or the
26    release from detention of a minor who has been detained;

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1926 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        (14) shall explain in nontechnical language the
2    details of any plea or verdict of a defendant, or any
3    adjudication of a juvenile as a delinquent;
4        (15) shall make all reasonable efforts to consult with
5    the crime victim before the Office of the State's Attorney
6    makes an offer of a plea bargain to the defendant or enters
7    into negotiations with the defendant concerning a possible
8    plea agreement, and shall consider the written statement,
9    if prepared prior to entering into a plea agreement. The
10    right to consult with the prosecutor does not include the
11    right to veto a plea agreement or to insist the case go to
12    trial. If the State's Attorney has not consulted with the
13    victim prior to making an offer or entering into plea
14    negotiations with the defendant, the Office of the State's
15    Attorney shall notify the victim of the offer or the
16    negotiations within 2 business days and confer with the
17    victim;
18        (16) shall provide notice of the ultimate disposition
19    of the cases arising from an indictment or an information,
20    or a petition to have a juvenile adjudicated as a
21    delinquent for a violent crime;
22        (17) shall provide notice of any appeal taken by the

24    agency handling the appeal, and how to request notice of
25    any hearing, oral argument, or decision of an appellate
26    court;

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1927 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        (18) shall provide timely notice of any request for
2    post-conviction review filed by the defendant under
3    Article 122 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, and
4    of the date, time and place of any hearing concerning the
5    petition. Whenever possible, notice of the hearing shall be
6    given within 48 hours of the court's scheduling of the
7    hearing; and
8        (19) shall forward a copy of any statement presented
9    under Section 6 to the Prisoner Review Board or Department
10    of Juvenile Justice to be considered in making a
11    determination under Section 3-2.5-85 or subsection (b) of
12    Section 3-3-8 of the Unified Code of Corrections.
13    (c) The court shall ensure that the rights of the victim
14are afforded.
15    (c-5) The following procedures shall be followed to afford
16victims the rights guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of the
17Illinois Constitution:
18        (1) Written notice. A victim may complete a written
19    notice of intent to assert rights on a form prepared by the
20    Office of the Attorney General and provided to the victim
21    by the State's Attorney. The victim may at any time provide
22    a revised written notice to the State's Attorney. The
23    State's Attorney shall file the written notice with the
24    court. At the beginning of any court proceeding in which
25    the right of a victim may be at issue, the court and
26    prosecutor shall review the written notice to determine

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1928 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    whether the victim has asserted the right that may be at
2    issue.
3        (2) Victim's retained attorney. A victim's attorney
4    shall file an entry of appearance limited to assertion of
5    the victim's rights. Upon the filing of the entry of
6    appearance and service on the State's Attorney and the
7    defendant, the attorney is to receive copies of all
8    notices, motions and court orders filed thereafter in the
9    case.
10        (3) Standing. The victim has standing to assert the
11    rights enumerated in subsection (a) of Article I, Section
12    8.1 of the Illinois Constitution and the statutory rights
13    under Section 4 of this Act in any court exercising
14    jurisdiction over the criminal case. The prosecuting
15    attorney, a victim, or the victim's retained attorney may
16    assert the victim's rights. The defendant in the criminal
17    case has no standing to assert a right of the victim in any
18    court proceeding, including on appeal.
19        (4) Assertion of and enforcement of rights.
20            (A) The prosecuting attorney shall assert a
21        victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
22        filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
23        requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
24        case outside the presence of the jury. The prosecuting
25        attorney shall consult with the victim and the victim's
26        attorney regarding the assertion or enforcement of a

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1929 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        right. If the prosecuting attorney decides not to
2        assert or enforce a victim's right, the prosecuting
3        attorney shall notify the victim or the victim's
4        attorney in sufficient time to allow the victim or the
5        victim's attorney to assert the right or to seek
6        enforcement of a right.
7            (B) If the prosecuting attorney elects not to
8        assert a victim's right or to seek enforcement of a
9        right, the victim or the victim's attorney may assert
10        the victim's right or request enforcement of a right by
11        filing a motion or by orally asserting the right or
12        requesting enforcement in open court in the criminal
13        case outside the presence of the jury.
14            (C) If the prosecuting attorney asserts a victim's
15        right or seeks enforcement of a right, and the court
16        denies the assertion of the right or denies the request
17        for enforcement of a right, the victim or victim's
18        attorney may file a motion to assert the victim's right
19        or to request enforcement of the right within 10 days
20        of the court's ruling. The motion need not demonstrate
21        the grounds for a motion for reconsideration. The court
22        shall rule on the merits of the motion.
23            (D) The court shall take up and decide any motion
24        or request asserting or seeking enforcement of a
25        victim's right without delay, unless a specific time
26        period is specified by law or court rule. The reasons

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1930 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        for any decision denying the motion or request shall be
2        clearly stated on the record.
3        (5) Violation of rights and remedies.
4            (A) If the court determines that a victim's right
5        has been violated, the court shall determine the
6        appropriate remedy for the violation of the victim's
7        right by hearing from the victim and the parties,
8        considering all factors relevant to the issue, and then
9        awarding appropriate relief to the victim.
10            (A-5) Consideration of an issue of a substantive
11        nature or an issue that implicates the constitutional
12        or statutory right of a victim at a court proceeding
13        labeled as a status hearing shall constitute a per se
14        violation of a victim's right.
15            (B) The appropriate remedy shall include only
16        actions necessary to provide the victim the right to
17        which the victim was entitled and may include reopening
18        previously held proceedings; however, in no event
19        shall the court vacate a conviction. Any remedy shall
20        be tailored to provide the victim an appropriate remedy
21        without violating any constitutional right of the
22        defendant. In no event shall the appropriate remedy be
23        a new trial, damages, or costs.
24        (6) Right to be heard. Whenever a victim has the right
25    to be heard, the court shall allow the victim to exercise
26    the right in any reasonable manner the victim chooses.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1931 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        (7) Right to attend trial. A party must file a written
2    motion to exclude a victim from trial at least 60 days
3    prior to the date set for trial. The motion must state with
4    specificity the reason exclusion is necessary to protect a
5    constitutional right of the party, and must contain an
6    offer of proof. The court shall rule on the motion within
7    30 days. If the motion is granted, the court shall set
8    forth on the record the facts that support its finding that
9    the victim's testimony will be materially affected if the
10    victim hears other testimony at trial.
11        (8) Right to have advocate and support person present
12    at court proceedings.
13            (A) A party who intends to call an advocate as a
14        witness at trial must seek permission of the court
15        before the subpoena is issued. The party must file a
16        written motion at least 90 days before trial that sets
17        forth specifically the issues on which the advocate's
18        testimony is sought and an offer of proof regarding (i)
19        the content of the anticipated testimony of the
20        advocate; and (ii) the relevance, admissibility, and
21        materiality of the anticipated testimony. The court
22        shall consider the motion and make findings within 30
23        days of the filing of the motion. If the court finds by
24        a preponderance of the evidence that: (i) the
25        anticipated testimony is not protected by an absolute
26        privilege; and (ii) the anticipated testimony contains

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1932 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        relevant, admissible, and material evidence that is
2        not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
3        court shall issue a subpoena requiring the advocate to
4        appear to testify at an in camera hearing. The
5        prosecuting attorney and the victim shall have 15 days
6        to seek appellate review before the advocate is
7        required to testify at an ex parte in camera
8        proceeding.
9            The prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the
10        advocate's attorney shall be allowed to be present at
11        the ex parte in camera proceeding. If, after conducting
12        the ex parte in camera hearing, the court determines
13        that due process requires any testimony regarding
14        confidential or privileged information or
15        communications, the court shall provide to the
16        prosecuting attorney, the victim, and the advocate's
17        attorney a written memorandum on the substance of the
18        advocate's testimony. The prosecuting attorney, the
19        victim, and the advocate's attorney shall have 15 days
20        to seek appellate review before a subpoena may be
21        issued for the advocate to testify at trial. The
22        presence of the prosecuting attorney at the ex parte in
23        camera proceeding does not make the substance of the
24        advocate's testimony that the court has ruled
25        inadmissible subject to discovery.
26            (B) If a victim has asserted the right to have a

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1933 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        support person present at the court proceedings, the
2        victim shall provide the name of the person the victim
3        has chosen to be the victim's support person to the
4        prosecuting attorney, within 60 days of trial. The
5        prosecuting attorney shall provide the name to the
6        defendant. If the defendant intends to call the support
7        person as a witness at trial, the defendant must seek
8        permission of the court before a subpoena is issued.
9        The defendant must file a written motion at least 45
10        days prior to trial that sets forth specifically the
11        issues on which the support person will testify and an
12        offer of proof regarding: (i) the content of the
13        anticipated testimony of the support person; and (ii)
14        the relevance, admissibility, and materiality of the
15        anticipated testimony.
16            If the prosecuting attorney intends to call the
17        support person as a witness during the State's
18        case-in-chief, the prosecuting attorney shall inform
19        the court of this intent in the response to the
20        defendant's written motion. The victim may choose a
21        different person to be the victim's support person. The
22        court may allow the defendant to inquire about matters
23        outside the scope of the direct examination during
24        cross-examination cross examination. If the court
25        allows the defendant to do so, the support person shall
26        be allowed to remain in the courtroom after the support

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1934 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        person has testified. A defendant who fails to question
2        the support person about matters outside the scope of
3        direct examination during the State's case-in-chief
4        waives the right to challenge the presence of the
5        support person on appeal. The court shall allow the
6        support person to testify if called as a witness in the
7        defendant's case-in-chief or the State's rebuttal.
8            If the court does not allow the defendant to
9        inquire about matters outside the scope of the direct
10        examination, the support person shall be allowed to
11        remain in the courtroom after the support person has
12        been called by the defendant or the defendant has
13        rested. The court shall allow the support person to
14        testify in the State's rebuttal.
15            If the prosecuting attorney does not intend to call
16        the support person in the State's case-in-chief, the
17        court shall verify with the support person whether the
18        support person, if called as a witness, would testify
19        as set forth in the offer of proof. If the court finds
20        that the support person would testify as set forth in
21        the offer of proof, the court shall rule on the
22        relevance, materiality, and admissibility of the
23        anticipated testimony. If the court rules the
24        anticipated testimony is admissible, the court shall
25        issue the subpoena. The support person may remain in
26        the courtroom after the support person testifies and

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1935 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        shall be allowed to testify in rebuttal.
2            If the court excludes the victim's support person
3        during the State's case-in-chief, the victim shall be
4        allowed to choose another support person to be present
5        in court.
6            If the victim fails to designate a support person
7        within 60 days of trial and the defendant has
8        subpoenaed the support person to testify at trial, the
9        court may exclude the support person from the trial
10        until the support person testifies. If the court
11        excludes the support person the victim may choose
12        another person as a support person.
13        (9) Right to notice and hearing before disclosure of
14    confidential or privileged information or records. A
15    defendant who seeks to subpoena records of or concerning
16    the victim that are confidential or privileged by law must
17    seek permission of the court before the subpoena is issued.
18    The defendant must file a written motion and an offer of
19    proof regarding the relevance, admissibility and
20    materiality of the records. If the court finds by a
21    preponderance of the evidence that: (A) the records are not
22    protected by an absolute privilege and (B) the records
23    contain relevant, admissible, and material evidence that
24    is not available through other witnesses or evidence, the
25    court shall issue a subpoena requiring a sealed copy of the
26    records be delivered to the court to be reviewed in camera.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1936 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    If, after conducting an in camera review of the records,
2    the court determines that due process requires disclosure
3    of any portion of the records, the court shall provide
4    copies of what it intends to disclose to the prosecuting
5    attorney and the victim. The prosecuting attorney and the
6    victim shall have 30 days to seek appellate review before
7    the records are disclosed to the defendant. The disclosure
8    of copies of any portion of the records to the prosecuting
9    attorney does not make the records subject to discovery.
10        (10) Right to notice of court proceedings. If the
11    victim is not present at a court proceeding in which a
12    right of the victim is at issue, the court shall ask the
13    prosecuting attorney whether the victim was notified of the
14    time, place, and purpose of the court proceeding and that
15    the victim had a right to be heard at the court proceeding.
16    If the court determines that timely notice was not given or
17    that the victim was not adequately informed of the nature
18    of the court proceeding, the court shall not rule on any
19    substantive issues, accept a plea, or impose a sentence and
20    shall continue the hearing for the time necessary to notify
21    the victim of the time, place and nature of the court
22    proceeding. The time between court proceedings shall not be
23    attributable to the State under Section 103-5 of the Code
24    of Criminal Procedure of 1963.
25        (11) Right to timely disposition of the case. A victim
26    has the right to timely disposition of the case so as to

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1937 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    minimize the stress, cost, and inconvenience resulting
2    from the victim's involvement in the case. Before ruling on
3    a motion to continue trial or other court proceeding, the
4    court shall inquire into the circumstances for the request
5    for the delay and, if the victim has provided written
6    notice of the assertion of the right to a timely
7    disposition, and whether the victim objects to the delay.
8    If the victim objects, the prosecutor shall inform the
9    court of the victim's objections. If the prosecutor has not
10    conferred with the victim about the continuance, the
11    prosecutor shall inform the court of the attempts to
12    confer. If the court finds the attempts of the prosecutor
13    to confer with the victim were inadequate to protect the
14    victim's right to be heard, the court shall give the
15    prosecutor at least 3 but not more than 5 business days to
16    confer with the victim. In ruling on a motion to continue,
17    the court shall consider the reasons for the requested
18    continuance, the number and length of continuances that
19    have been granted, the victim's objections and procedures
20    to avoid further delays. If a continuance is granted over
21    the victim's objection, the court shall specify on the
22    record the reasons for the continuance and the procedures
23    that have been or will be taken to avoid further delays.
24        (12) Right to Restitution.
25            (A) If the victim has asserted the right to
26        restitution and the amount of restitution is known at

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1938 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        the time of sentencing, the court shall enter the
2        judgment of restitution at the time of sentencing.
3            (B) If the victim has asserted the right to
4        restitution and the amount of restitution is not known
5        at the time of sentencing, the prosecutor shall, within
6        5 days after sentencing, notify the victim what
7        information and documentation related to restitution
8        is needed and that the information and documentation
9        must be provided to the prosecutor within 45 days after
10        sentencing. Failure to timely provide information and
11        documentation related to restitution shall be deemed a
12        waiver of the right to restitution. The prosecutor
13        shall file and serve within 60 days after sentencing a
14        proposed judgment for restitution and a notice that
15        includes information concerning the identity of any
16        victims or other persons seeking restitution, whether
17        any victim or other person expressly declines
18        restitution, the nature and amount of any damages
19        together with any supporting documentation, a
20        restitution amount recommendation, and the names of
21        any co-defendants and their case numbers. Within 30
22        days after receipt of the proposed judgment for
23        restitution, the defendant shall file any objection to
24        the proposed judgment, a statement of grounds for the
25        objection, and a financial statement. If the defendant
26        does not file an objection, the court may enter the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1939 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        judgment for restitution without further proceedings.
2        If the defendant files an objection and either party
3        requests a hearing, the court shall schedule a hearing.
4        (13) Access to presentence reports.
5            (A) The victim may request a copy of the
6        presentence report prepared under the Unified Code of
7        Corrections from the State's Attorney. The State's
8        Attorney shall redact the following information before
9        providing a copy of the report:
10                (i) the defendant's mental history and
11            condition;
12                (ii) any evaluation prepared under subsection
13            (b) or (b-5) of Section 5-3-2; and
14                (iii) the name, address, phone number, and
15            other personal information about any other victim.
16            (B) The State's Attorney or the defendant may
17        request the court redact other information in the
18        report that may endanger the safety of any person.
19            (C) The State's Attorney may orally disclose to the
20        victim any of the information that has been redacted if
21        there is a reasonable likelihood that the information
22        will be stated in court at the sentencing.
23            (D) The State's Attorney must advise the victim
24        that the victim must maintain the confidentiality of
25        the report and other information. Any dissemination of
26        the report or information that was not stated at a

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1940 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        court proceeding constitutes indirect criminal
2        contempt of court.
3        (14) Appellate relief. If the trial court denies the
4    relief requested, the victim, the victim's attorney, or the
5    prosecuting attorney may file an appeal within 30 days of
6    the trial court's ruling. The trial or appellate court may
7    stay the court proceedings if the court finds that a stay
8    would not violate a constitutional right of the defendant.
9    If the appellate court denies the relief sought, the
10    reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated in a written
11    opinion. In any appeal in a criminal case, the State may
12    assert as error the court's denial of any crime victim's
13    right in the proceeding to which the appeal relates.
14        (15) Limitation on appellate relief. In no case shall
15    an appellate court provide a new trial to remedy the
16    violation of a victim's right.

12defendant and any changes to that estimated date of admission.
13If the Department notifies the sheriff during the 2 business
14day period of a facility operated by the Department with
15placement availability, the sheriff shall promptly transport
16the defendant to that facility. Individualized placement
17evaluations by the Department of Human Services determine the
18most appropriate setting for forensic treatment based upon a
19number of factors including mental health diagnosis, proximity
20to surviving victims, security need, age, gender, and proximity
21to family.
22    The Department shall provide the Court with a report of its
23evaluation within 30 days of the date of this order. The Court

1basis; (b) in need of mental health services on an outpatient
2basis; (c) a person not in need of mental health services. The
3court shall afford the victim the opportunity to make a written
4or oral statement as guaranteed by Article I, Section 8.1 of
5the Illinois Constitution and Section 6 of the Rights of Crime
6Victims and Witnesses Act. The court shall allow a victim to
7make an oral statement if the victim is present in the
8courtroom and requests to make an oral statement. An oral
9statement includes the victim or a representative of the victim
10reading the written statement. The court may allow persons
11impacted by the crime who are not victims under subsection (a)
12of Section 3 of the this Rights of Crime Victims and Witnesses
13Act to present an oral or written statement. A victim and any
14person making an oral statement shall not be put under oath or
15subject to cross-examination. The court shall consider any
16statement presented along with all other appropriate factors in
17determining the sentence of the defendant or disposition of the
18juvenile. All statements shall become part of the record of the
19court.
20    If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
21services on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall order the
22defendant to the Department of Human Services. The defendant
23shall be placed in a secure setting. Such defendants placed in
24a secure setting shall not be permitted outside the facility's
25housing unit unless escorted or accompanied by personnel of the
26Department of Human Services or with the prior approval of the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 1973 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

5Department of Human Services, shall be placed in security
6devices or otherwise secured during the period of
7transportation to assure secure transport of the defendant and
8the safety of Department of Human Services personnel and
9others. These security measures shall not constitute restraint
10as defined in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
11Code. If the defendant is found to be in need of mental health
12services, but not on an inpatient care basis, the Court shall
13conditionally release the defendant, under such conditions as
14set forth in this Section as will reasonably assure the
15defendant's satisfactory progress and participation in
16treatment or rehabilitation and the safety of the defendant,
17the victim, the victim's family members, and others. If the
18Court finds the person not in need of mental health services,
19then the Court shall order the defendant discharged from
20custody.

4reasonably assure the defendant's satisfactory progress in
5treatment and his or her safety and the safety of others in

7defendant was under 18 years of age at the time the offense was
8committed.
9    (o) If any provision of this Section or its application to
10any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity of

4    (730 ILCS 5/5-5-6)  (from Ch. 38, par. 1005-5-6)
5    Sec. 5-5-6. In all convictions for offenses in violation of
6the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or of
7Section 11-501 of the Illinois Vehicle Code in which the person
8received any injury to his or her person or damage to his or
9her real or personal property as a result of the criminal act
10of the defendant, the court shall order restitution as provided
11in this Section. In all other cases, except cases in which
12restitution is required under this Section, the court must at
13the sentence hearing determine whether restitution is an
14appropriate sentence to be imposed on each defendant convicted
15of an offense. If the court determines that an order directing
16the offender to make restitution is appropriate, the offender
17may be sentenced to make restitution. The court may consider
18restitution an appropriate sentence to be imposed on each
19defendant convicted of an offense in addition to a sentence of
20imprisonment. The sentence of the defendant to a term of
21imprisonment is not a mitigating factor that prevents the court
22from ordering the defendant to pay restitution. If the offender
23is sentenced to make restitution the Court shall determine the
24restitution as hereinafter set forth:
25        (a) At the sentence hearing, the court shall determine

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2044 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    whether the property may be restored in kind to the
2    possession of the owner or the person entitled to
3    possession thereof; or whether the defendant is possessed
4    of sufficient skill to repair and restore property damaged;
5    or whether the defendant should be required to make
6    restitution in cash, for out-of-pocket expenses, damages,
7    losses, or injuries found to have been proximately caused
8    by the conduct of the defendant or another for whom the
9    defendant is legally accountable under the provisions of
10    Article 5 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code
11    of 2012.
12        (b) In fixing the amount of restitution to be paid in
13    cash, the court shall allow credit for property returned in
14    kind, for property damages ordered to be repaired by the
15    defendant, and for property ordered to be restored by the
16    defendant; and after granting the credit, the court shall
17    assess the actual out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages,
18    and injuries suffered by the victim named in the charge and
19    any other victims who may also have suffered out-of-pocket
20    expenses, losses, damages, and injuries proximately caused
21    by the same criminal conduct of the defendant, and
22    insurance carriers who have indemnified the named victim or
23    other victims for the out-of-pocket expenses, losses,
24    damages, or injuries, provided that in no event shall
25    restitution be ordered to be paid on account of pain and
26    suffering. When a victim's out-of-pocket expenses have

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2045 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    been paid pursuant to the Crime Victims Compensation Act,
2    the court shall order restitution be paid to the
3    compensation program. If a defendant is placed on
4    supervision for, or convicted of, domestic battery, the
5    defendant shall be required to pay restitution to any
6    domestic violence shelter in which the victim and any other
7    family or household members lived because of the domestic
8    battery. The amount of the restitution shall equal the
9    actual expenses of the domestic violence shelter in
10    providing housing and any other services for the victim and
11    any other family or household members living at the
12    shelter. If a defendant fails to pay restitution in the
13    manner or within the time period specified by the court,
14    the court may enter an order directing the sheriff to seize
15    any real or personal property of a defendant to the extent
16    necessary to satisfy the order of restitution and dispose
17    of the property by public sale. All proceeds from such sale
18    in excess of the amount of restitution plus court costs and
19    the costs of the sheriff in conducting the sale shall be
20    paid to the defendant. The defendant convicted of domestic
21    battery, if a person under 18 years of age was present and
22    witnessed the domestic battery of the victim, is liable to
23    pay restitution for the cost of any counseling required for
24    the child at the discretion of the court.
25        (c) In cases where more than one defendant is
26    accountable for the same criminal conduct that results in

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2046 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages, or injuries, each
2    defendant shall be ordered to pay restitution in the amount
3    of the total actual out-of-pocket expenses, losses,
4    damages, or injuries to the victim proximately caused by
5    the conduct of all of the defendants who are legally
6    accountable for the offense.
7            (1) In no event shall the victim be entitled to
8        recover restitution in excess of the actual
9        out-of-pocket expenses, losses, damages, or injuries,
10        proximately caused by the conduct of all of the
11        defendants.
12            (2) As between the defendants, the court may
13        apportion the restitution that is payable in
14        proportion to each co-defendant's culpability in the
15        commission of the offense.
16            (3) In the absence of a specific order apportioning
17        the restitution, each defendant shall bear his pro rata
18        share of the restitution.
19            (4) As between the defendants, each defendant
20        shall be entitled to a pro rata reduction in the total
21        restitution required to be paid to the victim for
22        amounts of restitution actually paid by co-defendants,
23        and defendants who shall have paid more than their pro
24        rata share shall be entitled to refunds to be computed
25        by the court as additional amounts are paid by
26        co-defendants.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2047 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        (d) In instances where a defendant has more than one
2    criminal charge pending against him in a single case, or
3    more than one case, and the defendant stands convicted of
4    one or more charges, a plea agreement negotiated by the
5    State's Attorney and the defendants may require the
6    defendant to make restitution to victims of charges that
7    have been dismissed or which it is contemplated will be
8    dismissed under the terms of the plea agreement, and under
9    the agreement, the court may impose a sentence of
10    restitution on the charge or charges of which the defendant
11    has been convicted that would require the defendant to make
12    restitution to victims of other offenses as provided in the
13    plea agreement.
14        (e) The court may require the defendant to apply the
15    balance of the cash bond, after payment of court costs, and
16    any fine that may be imposed to the payment of restitution.
17        (f) Taking into consideration the ability of the
18    defendant to pay, including any real or personal property
19    or any other assets of the defendant, the court shall
20    determine whether restitution shall be paid in a single
21    payment or in installments, and shall fix a period of time
22    not in excess of 5 years, except for violations of Sections
23    16-1.3 and 17-56 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
24    Criminal Code of 2012, or the period of time specified in
25    subsection (f-1), not including periods of incarceration,
26    within which payment of restitution is to be paid in full.

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2048 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    Complete restitution shall be paid in as short a time
2    period as possible. However, if the court deems it
3    necessary and in the best interest of the victim, the court
4    may extend beyond 5 years the period of time within which
5    the payment of restitution is to be paid. If the defendant
6    is ordered to pay restitution and the court orders that
7    restitution is to be paid over a period greater than 6
8    months, the court shall order that the defendant make
9    monthly payments; the court may waive this requirement of
10    monthly payments only if there is a specific finding of
11    good cause for waiver.
12        (f-1)(1) In addition to any other penalty prescribed by
13    law and any restitution ordered under this Section that did
14    not include long-term physical health care costs, the court
15    may, upon conviction of any misdemeanor or felony, order a
16    defendant to pay restitution to a victim in accordance with
17    the provisions of this subsection (f-1) if the victim has
18    suffered physical injury as a result of the offense that is
19    reasonably probable to require or has required long-term
20    physical health care for more than 3 months. As used in
21    this subsection (f-1), "long-term physical health care"
22    includes mental health care.
23        (2) The victim's estimate of long-term physical health
24    care costs may be made as part of a victim impact statement
25    under Section 6 of the Rights of Crime Victims and
26    Witnesses Act or made separately. The court shall enter the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2049 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    long-term physical health care restitution order at the
2    time of sentencing. An order of restitution made under this
3    subsection (f-1) shall fix a monthly amount to be paid by
4    the defendant for as long as long-term physical health care
5    of the victim is required as a result of the offense. The
6    order may exceed the length of any sentence imposed upon
7    the defendant for the criminal activity. The court shall
8    include as a special finding in the judgment of conviction
9    its determination of the monthly cost of long-term physical
10    health care.
11        (3) After a sentencing order has been entered, the
12    court may from time to time, on the petition of either the
13    defendant or the victim, or upon its own motion, enter an
14    order for restitution for long-term physical care or modify
15    the existing order for restitution for long-term physical
16    care as to the amount of monthly payments. Any modification
17    of the order shall be based only upon a substantial change
18    of circumstances relating to the cost of long-term physical
19    health care or the financial condition of either the
20    defendant or the victim. The petition shall be filed as
21    part of the original criminal docket.
22        (g) In addition to the sentences provided for in
23    Sections 11-1.20, 11-1.30, 11-1.40, 11-1.50, 11-1.60,
24    11-19.2, 11-20.1, 11-20.1B, 11-20.3, 12-13, 12-14,
25    12-14.1, 12-15, and 12-16, and subdivision (a)(4) of
26    Section 11-14.4, of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2050 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    Criminal Code of 2012, the court may order any person who
2    is convicted of violating any of those Sections or who was
3    charged with any of those offenses and which charge was
4    reduced to another charge as a result of a plea agreement
5    under subsection (d) of this Section to meet all or any
6    portion of the financial obligations of treatment,
7    including but not limited to medical, psychiatric, or
8    rehabilitative treatment or psychological counseling,
9    prescribed for the victim or victims of the offense.
10        The payments shall be made by the defendant to the
11    clerk of the circuit court and transmitted by the clerk to
12    the appropriate person or agency as directed by the court.
13    Except as otherwise provided in subsection (f-1), the order
14    may require such payments to be made for a period not to
15    exceed 5 years after sentencing, not including periods of
16    incarceration.
17        (h) The judge may enter an order of withholding to
18    collect the amount of restitution owed in accordance with
19    Part 8 of Article XII of the Code of Civil Procedure.
20        (i) A sentence of restitution may be modified or
21    revoked by the court if the offender commits another
22    offense, or the offender fails to make restitution as
23    ordered by the court, but no sentence to make restitution
24    shall be revoked unless the court shall find that the
25    offender has had the financial ability to make restitution,
26    and he has wilfully refused to do so. When the offender's

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2051 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    ability to pay restitution was established at the time an
2    order of restitution was entered or modified, or when the
3    offender's ability to pay was based on the offender's
4    willingness to make restitution as part of a plea agreement
5    made at the time the order of restitution was entered or
6    modified, there is a rebuttable presumption that the facts
7    and circumstances considered by the court at the hearing at
8    which the order of restitution was entered or modified
9    regarding the offender's ability or willingness to pay
10    restitution have not materially changed. If the court shall
11    find that the defendant has failed to make restitution and
12    that the failure is not wilful, the court may impose an
13    additional period of time within which to make restitution.
14    The length of the additional period shall not be more than
15    2 years. The court shall retain all of the incidents of the
16    original sentence, including the authority to modify or
17    enlarge the conditions, and to revoke or further modify the
18    sentence if the conditions of payment are violated during
19    the additional period.
20        (j) The procedure upon the filing of a Petition to
21    Revoke a sentence to make restitution shall be the same as
22    the procedures set forth in Section 5-6-4 of this Code
23    governing violation, modification, or revocation of
24    Probation, of Conditional Discharge, or of Supervision.
25        (k) Nothing contained in this Section shall preclude
26    the right of any party to proceed in a civil action to

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2052 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    recover for any damages incurred due to the criminal
2    misconduct of the defendant.
3        (l) Restitution ordered under this Section shall not be
4    subject to disbursement by the circuit clerk under the
5    Criminal and Traffic Assessment Act.
6        (m) A restitution order under this Section is a
7    judgment lien in favor of the victim that:
8            (1) Attaches to the property of the person subject
9        to the order;
10            (2) May be perfected in the same manner as provided
11        in Part 3 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code;
12            (3) May be enforced to satisfy any payment that is
13        delinquent under the restitution order by the person in
14        whose favor the order is issued or the person's
15        assignee; and
16            (4) Expires in the same manner as a judgment lien
17        created in a civil proceeding.
18        When a restitution order is issued under this Section,
19    the issuing court shall send a certified copy of the order
20    to the clerk of the circuit court in the county where the
21    charge was filed. Upon receiving the order, the clerk shall
22    enter and index the order in the circuit court judgment
23    docket.
24        (n) An order of restitution under this Section does not
25    bar a civil action for:
26            (1) Damages that the court did not require the

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2053 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        person to pay to the victim under the restitution order
2        but arise from an injury or property damages that is
3        the basis of restitution ordered by the court; and
4            (2) Other damages suffered by the victim.
5    The restitution order is not discharged by the completion
6of the sentence imposed for the offense.
7    A restitution order under this Section is not discharged by
8the liquidation of a person's estate by a receiver. A
9restitution order under this Section may be enforced in the
10same manner as judgment liens are enforced under Article XII of
11the Code of Civil Procedure.
12    The provisions of Section 2-1303 of the Code of Civil
13Procedure, providing for interest on judgments, apply to
14judgments for restitution entered under this Section.

16principal's own health care; but the statutory health care
17power is not intended to be exclusive nor to cover delegation
18of a parent's power to control the health care of a minor
19child, and no provision of this Article shall be construed to
20invalidate or bar use by the principal of any other or
21different form of power of attorney for health care.
22Nonstatutory health care powers must be executed by the
23principal, designate the agent and the agent's powers, and

5form. The statutory health care power may be included in or

8    (b) The Illinois Statutory Short Form Power of Attorney for
9Health Care shall be substantially as follows:
 
10
NOTICE TO THE INDIVIDUAL SIGNING
11
THE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR HEALTH CARE
12    No one can predict when a serious illness or accident might
13occur. When it does, you may need someone else to speak or make
14health care decisions for you. If you plan now, you can
15increase the chances that the medical treatment you get will be
16the treatment you want.
17    In Illinois, you can choose someone to be your "health care
18agent". Your agent is the person you trust to make health care
19decisions for you if you are unable or do not want to make them
20yourself. These decisions should be based on your personal
21values and wishes.
22    It is important to put your choice of agent in writing. The
23written form is often called an "advance directive". You may
24use this form or another form, as long as it meets the legal
25requirements of Illinois. There are many written and on-line

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2078 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1resources to guide you and your loved ones in having a
2conversation about these issues. You may find it helpful to
3look at these resources while thinking about and discussing
4your advance directive.
 
5
WHAT ARE THE THINGS I WANT MY
6
HEALTH CARE AGENT TO KNOW?
7    The selection of your agent should be considered carefully,
8as your agent will have the ultimate decision-making decision
9making authority once this document goes into effect, in most
10instances after you are no longer able to make your own
11decisions. While the goal is for your agent to make decisions
12in keeping with your preferences and in the majority of
13circumstances that is what happens, please know that the law
14does allow your agent to make decisions to direct or refuse
15health care interventions or withdraw treatment. Your agent
16will need to think about conversations you have had, your
17personality, and how you handled important health care issues
18in the past. Therefore, it is important to talk with your agent
19and your family about such things as:
20        (i) What is most important to you in your life?
21        (ii) How important is it to you to avoid pain and
22    suffering?
23        (iii) If you had to choose, is it more important to you
24    to live as long as possible, or to avoid prolonged
25    suffering or disability?

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2079 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1        (iv) Would you rather be at home or in a hospital for
2    the last days or weeks of your life?
3        (v) Do you have religious, spiritual, or cultural
4    beliefs that you want your agent and others to consider?
5        (vi) Do you wish to make a significant contribution to
6    medical science after your death through organ or whole
7    body donation?
8        (vii) Do you have an existing advance advanced
9    directive, such as a living will, that contains your
10    specific wishes about health care that is only delaying
11    your death? If you have another advance directive, make
12    sure to discuss with your agent the directive and the
13    treatment decisions contained within that outline your
14    preferences. Make sure that your agent agrees to honor the
15    wishes expressed in your advance directive.
 
16
WHAT KIND OF DECISIONS CAN MY AGENT MAKE?
17    If there is ever a period of time when your physician
18determines that you cannot make your own health care decisions,
19or if you do not want to make your own decisions, some of the
20decisions your agent could make are to:
21        (i) talk with physicians and other health care
22    providers about your condition.
23        (ii) see medical records and approve who else can see
24    them.
25        (iii) give permission for medical tests, medicines,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2080 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    surgery, or other treatments.
2        (iv) choose where you receive care and which physicians
3    and others provide it.
4        (v) decide to accept, withdraw, or decline treatments
5    designed to keep you alive if you are near death or not
6    likely to recover. You may choose to include guidelines
7    and/or restrictions to your agent's authority.
8        (vi) agree or decline to donate your organs or your
9    whole body if you have not already made this decision
10    yourself. This could include donation for transplant,
11    research, and/or education. You should let your agent know
12    whether you are registered as a donor in the First Person
13    Consent registry maintained by the Illinois Secretary of
14    State or whether you have agreed to donate your whole body
15    for medical research and/or education.
16        (vii) decide what to do with your remains after you
17    have died, if you have not already made plans.
18        (viii) talk with your other loved ones to help come to
19    a decision (but your designated agent will have the final
20    say over your other loved ones).
21    Your agent is not automatically responsible for your health
22care expenses.
 
23
WHOM SHOULD I CHOOSE TO BE MY HEALTH CARE AGENT?
24    You can pick a family member, but you do not have to. Your
25agent will have the responsibility to make medical treatment

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2081 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1decisions, even if other people close to you might urge a
2different decision. The selection of your agent should be done
3carefully, as he or she will have ultimate decision-making
4authority for your treatment decisions once you are no longer
5able to voice your preferences. Choose a family member, friend,
6or other person who:
7        (i) is at least 18 years old;
8        (ii) knows you well;
9        (iii) you trust to do what is best for you and is
10    willing to carry out your wishes, even if he or she may not
11    agree with your wishes;
12        (iv) would be comfortable talking with and questioning
13    your physicians and other health care providers;
14        (v) would not be too upset to carry out your wishes if
15    you became very sick; and
16        (vi) can be there for you when you need it and is
17    willing to accept this important role.
 
18
WHAT IF MY AGENT IS NOT AVAILABLE OR IS
19
UNWILLING TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR ME?
20    If the person who is your first choice is unable to carry
21out this role, then the second agent you chose will make the
22decisions; if your second agent is not available, then the
23third agent you chose will make the decisions. The second and
24third agents are called your successor agents and they function
25as back-up agents to your first choice agent and may act only

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2082 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1one at a time and in the order you list them.
 
2
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I DO NOT
3
CHOOSE A HEALTH CARE AGENT?
4    If you become unable to make your own health care decisions
5and have not named an agent in writing, your physician and
6other health care providers will ask a family member, friend,
7or guardian to make decisions for you. In Illinois, a law
8directs which of these individuals will be consulted. In that
9law, each of these individuals is called a "surrogate".
10    There are reasons why you may want to name an agent rather
11than rely on a surrogate:
12        (i) The person or people listed by this law may not be
13    who you would want to make decisions for you.
14        (ii) Some family members or friends might not be able
15    or willing to make decisions as you would want them to.
16        (iii) Family members and friends may disagree with one
17    another about the best decisions.
18        (iv) Under some circumstances, a surrogate may not be
19    able to make the same kinds of decisions that an agent can
20    make.
 
21
WHAT IF THERE IS NO ONE AVAILABLE
22
WHOM I TRUST TO BE MY AGENT?
23    In this situation, it is especially important to talk to
24your physician and other health care providers and create

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2083 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1written guidance about what you want or do not want, in case
2you are ever critically ill and cannot express your own wishes.
3You can complete a living will. You can also write your wishes
4down and/or discuss them with your physician or other health
5care provider and ask him or her to write it down in your
6chart. You might also want to use written or on-line resources
7to guide you through this process.
 
8
WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS FORM ONCE I COMPLETE IT?
9    Follow these instructions after you have completed the
10form:
11        (i) Sign the form in front of a witness. See the form
12    for a list of who can and cannot witness it.
13        (ii) Ask the witness to sign it, too.
14        (iii) There is no need to have the form notarized.
15        (iv) Give a copy to your agent and to each of your
16    successor agents.
17        (v) Give another copy to your physician.
18        (vi) Take a copy with you when you go to the hospital.
19        (vii) Show it to your family and friends and others who
20    care for you.
 
21
WHAT IF I CHANGE MY MIND?
22    You may change your mind at any time. If you do, tell
23someone who is at least 18 years old that you have changed your
24mind, and/or destroy your document and any copies. If you wish,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2084 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1fill out a new form and make sure everyone you gave the old
2form to has a copy of the new one, including, but not limited
3to, your agents and your physicians.
 
4
WHAT IF I DO NOT WANT TO USE THIS FORM?
5    In the event you do not want to use the Illinois statutory
6form provided here, any document you complete must be executed
7by you, designate an agent who is over 18 years of age and not
8prohibited from serving as your agent, and state the agent's
9powers, but it need not be witnessed or conform in any other
10respect to the statutory health care power.
11    If you have questions about the use of any form, you may
12want to consult your physician, other health care provider,
13and/or an attorney.

9    If the agent I selected is unable or does not want to make
10health care decisions for me, then I request the person(s) I

20    for any physical or mental condition of mine, including
21    life-and-death decisions.
22        (ii) Agreeing to admit me to or discharge me from any
23    hospital, home, or other institution, including a mental

1    health facility.
2        (iii) Having complete access to my medical and mental
3    health records, and sharing them with others as needed,
4    including after I die.
5        (iv) Carrying out the plans I have already made, or, if
6    I have not done so, making decisions about my body or
7    remains, including organ, tissue or whole body donation,
8    autopsy, cremation, and burial.
9    The above grant of power is intended to be as broad as
10possible so that my agent will have the authority to make any
11decision I could make to obtain or terminate any type of health
12care, including withdrawal of nutrition and hydration and other
13life-sustaining measures.
 
14I AUTHORIZE MY AGENT TO (please check any one box):
15    .... Make decisions for me only when I cannot make them for
16    myself. The physician(s) taking care of me will determine
17    when I lack this ability.
18        (If no box is checked, then the box above shall be
19    implemented.) OR
20    .... Make decisions for me only when I cannot make them for
21    myself. The physician(s) taking care of me will determine
22    when I lack this ability. Starting now, for the purpose of
23    assisting me with my health care plans and decisions, my
24    agent shall have complete access to my medical and mental
25    health records, the authority to share them with others as

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2087 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

4    as to whether I lack the ability to make decisions for
5    myself. OR
6    .... Make decisions for me starting now and continuing
7    after I am no longer able to make them for myself. While I
8    am still able to make my own decisions, I can still do so
9    if I want to.
 
10    The subject of life-sustaining treatment is of particular
11importance. Life-sustaining treatments may include tube
12feedings or fluids through a tube, breathing machines, and CPR.
13In general, in making decisions concerning life-sustaining
14treatment, your agent is instructed to consider the relief of
15suffering, the quality as well as the possible extension of
16your life, and your previously expressed wishes. Your agent
17will weigh the burdens versus benefits of proposed treatments
18in making decisions on your behalf.
19    Additional statements concerning the withholding or
20removal of life-sustaining treatment are described below.
21These can serve as a guide for your agent when making decisions
22for you. Ask your physician or health care provider if you have
23any questions about these statements.

4    physician believes, in accordance with reasonable medical
5    standards, that I will not wake up or recover my ability to
6    think, communicate with my family and friends, and
7    experience my surroundings, I do not want treatments to
8    prolong my life or delay my death, but I do want treatment
9    or care to make me comfortable and to relieve me of pain.
10    .... Staying alive is more important to me, no matter how
11    sick I am, how much I am suffering, the cost of the
12    procedures, or how unlikely my chances for recovery are. I
13    want my life to be prolonged to the greatest extent
14    possible in accordance with reasonable medical standards.

20powers or prescribe special rules or limit the power to

HB3249 Enrolled- 2090 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1to make any and all health care decisions on behalf of the
2principal which the principal could make if present and under
3no disability, subject to any limitations on the granted powers
4that appear on the face of the form, to be exercised in such
5manner as the agent deems consistent with the intent and
6desires of the principal. The agent will be under no duty to
7exercise granted powers or to assume control of or
8responsibility for the principal's health care; but when
9granted powers are exercised, the agent will be required to use
10due care to act for the benefit of the principal in accordance
11with the terms of the statutory health care power and will be
12liable for negligent exercise. The agent may act in person or
13through others reasonably employed by the agent for that
14purpose but may not delegate authority to make health care
15decisions. The agent may sign and deliver all instruments,
16negotiate and enter into all agreements and do all other acts
17reasonably necessary to implement the exercise of the powers
18granted to the agent. Without limiting the generality of the
19foregoing, the statutory health care power shall include the
20following powers, subject to any limitations appearing on the
21face of the form:
22        (1) The agent is authorized to give consent to and
23    authorize or refuse, or to withhold or withdraw consent to,
24    any and all types of medical care, treatment or procedures
25    relating to the physical or mental health of the principal,
26    including any medication program, surgical procedures,

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2091 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    life-sustaining treatment or provision of food and fluids
2    for the principal.
3        (2) The agent is authorized to admit the principal to
4    or discharge the principal from any and all types of
5    hospitals, institutions, homes, residential or nursing
6    facilities, treatment centers and other health care
7    institutions providing personal care or treatment for any
8    type of physical or mental condition. The agent shall have
9    the same right to visit the principal in the hospital or
10    other institution as is granted to a spouse or adult child
11    of the principal, any rule of the institution to the
12    contrary notwithstanding.
13        (3) The agent is authorized to contract for any and all
14    types of health care services and facilities in the name of
15    and on behalf of the principal and to bind the principal to
16    pay for all such services and facilities, and to have and
17    exercise those powers over the principal's property as are
18    authorized under the statutory property power, to the
19    extent the agent deems necessary to pay health care costs;
20    and the agent shall not be personally liable for any
21    services or care contracted for on behalf of the principal.
22        (4) At the principal's expense and subject to
23    reasonable rules of the health care provider to prevent
24    disruption of the principal's health care, the agent shall
25    have the same right the principal has to examine and copy
26    and consent to disclosure of all the principal's medical

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2092 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1    records that the agent deems relevant to the exercise of
2    the agent's powers, whether the records relate to mental
3    health or any other medical condition and whether they are
4    in the possession of or maintained by any physician,
5    psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, hospital, nursing
6    home or other health care provider. The authority under
7    this paragraph (4) applies to any information governed by
8    the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
9    1996 ("HIPAA") and regulations thereunder. The agent
10    serves as the principal's personal representative, as that
11    term is defined under HIPAA and regulations thereunder.
12        (5) The agent is authorized: to direct that an autopsy
13    be made pursuant to Section 2 of the Autopsy Act "An Act in
14    relation to autopsy of dead bodies", approved August 13,
15    1965, including all amendments; to make a disposition of
16    any part or all of the principal's body pursuant to the
17    Illinois Anatomical Gift Act, as now or hereafter amended;
18    and to direct the disposition of the principal's remains.
19        (6) At any time during which there is no executor or
20    administrator appointed for the principal's estate, the
21    agent is authorized to continue to pursue an application or
22    appeal for government benefits if those benefits were
23    applied for during the life of the principal.
24    (d) A physician may determine that the principal is unable
25to make health care decisions for himself or herself only if
26the principal lacks decisional capacity, as that term is

 

 

HB3249 Enrolled- 2093 -LRB101 07760 AMC 52809 b

1defined in Section 10 of the Health Care Surrogate Act.
2    (e) If the principal names the agent as a guardian on the
3statutory short form, and if a court decides that the
4appointment of a guardian will serve the principal's best
5interests and welfare, the court shall appoint the agent to
6serve without bond or security.

1the Act as a conversion condominium unless (i) a notice of
2intent to submit the real estate to this Act (notice of intent)

4located on the real estate on the date the notice is given.
5Such notice shall be given at least 30 days, and not more than
6one 1 year prior to the recording of the declaration which

11any agreement for the sale of a unit, has given a copy of the
12notice of intent to all persons who were tenants of the
13building located on the real estate on the date the notice of
14intent was given.
15        (2) If the owner fails to provide a tenant with notice
16    of the intent to convert as defined in this Section, the
17    tenant permanently vacates the premises as a direct result
18    of non-renewal of his or her lease by the owner, and the

7such unit to the current tenants, except for units to be
8vacated for rehabilitation subsequent to such notice of intent.
