6proportionate share shall be immediately paid over to the
7library district which maintains and operates the library.
8However, any library that has converted prior to January 1,

1    held, and defined above, shall be transferred by the
2    Treasurer and Comptroller to the Personal Property Tax
3    Replacement Fund within 10 days of such certification.
4        (2) Each quarterly allocation shall first be
5    apportioned in the following manner: 51.65% for taxing
6    districts in Cook County and 48.35% for taxing districts
7    in the remainder of the State.
8    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each taxing
9district outside Cook County shall be the ratio which the Tax
10Base of that taxing district bears to the Downstate Tax Base.
11The Tax Base of each taxing district outside of Cook County is
12the personal property tax collections for that taxing district
13for the 1977 tax year. The Downstate Tax Base is the personal
14property tax collections for all taxing districts in the State
15outside of Cook County for the 1977 tax year. The Department of
16Revenue shall have authority to review for accuracy and
17completeness the personal property tax collections for each
18taxing district outside Cook County for the 1977 tax year.
19    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each Cook
20County taxing district shall be the ratio which the Tax Base of
21that taxing district bears to the Cook County Tax Base. The Tax
22Base of each Cook County taxing district is the personal
23property tax collections for that taxing district for the 1976
24tax year. The Cook County Tax Base is the personal property tax
25collections for all taxing districts in Cook County for the
261976 tax year. The Department of Revenue shall have authority

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 127 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1to review for accuracy and completeness the personal property
2tax collections for each taxing district within Cook County
3for the 1976 tax year.
4    For all purposes of this Section 12, amounts paid to a
5taxing district for such tax years as may be applicable by a
6foreign corporation under the provisions of Section 7-202 of
7the Public Utilities Act, as amended, shall be deemed to be
8personal property taxes collected by such taxing district for
9such tax years as may be applicable. The Director shall
10determine from the Illinois Commerce Commission, for any tax
11year as may be applicable, the amounts so paid by any such
12foreign corporation to any and all taxing districts. The
13Illinois Commerce Commission shall furnish such information to
14the Director. For all purposes of this Section 12, the
15Director shall deem such amounts to be collected personal
16property taxes of each such taxing district for the applicable
17tax year or years.
18    Taxing districts located both in Cook County and in one or
19more other counties shall receive both a Cook County
20allocation and a Downstate allocation determined in the same
21way as all other taxing districts.
22    If any taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979 ceases
23to exist, or discontinues its operations, its Tax Base shall
24thereafter be deemed to be zero. If the powers, duties and
25obligations of the discontinued taxing district are assumed by
26another taxing district, the Tax Base of the discontinued

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 128 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1taxing district shall be added to the Tax Base of the taxing
2district assuming such powers, duties and obligations.
3    If two or more taxing districts in existence on July 1,
41979, or a successor or successors thereto shall consolidate
5into one taxing district, the Tax Base of such consolidated
6taxing district shall be the sum of the Tax Bases of each of
7the taxing districts which have consolidated.
8    If a single taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979,
9or a successor or successors thereto shall be divided into two
10or more separate taxing districts, the tax base of the taxing
11district so divided shall be allocated to each of the
12resulting taxing districts in proportion to the then current
13equalized assessed value of each resulting taxing district.
14    If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is
15disconnected and annexed to another taxing district of the
16same type, the Tax Base of the taxing district from which
17disconnection was made shall be reduced in proportion to the
18then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected
19territory as compared with the then current equalized assessed
20value within the entire territory of the taxing district prior
21to disconnection, and the amount of such reduction shall be
22added to the Tax Base of the taxing district to which
23annexation is made.
24    If a community college district is created after July 1,
251979, beginning on January 1, 1996 (the effective date of
26Public Act 89-327), its Tax Base shall be 3.5% of the sum of

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 129 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1the personal property tax collected for the 1977 tax year
2within the territorial jurisdiction of the district.
3    The amounts allocated and paid to taxing districts
4pursuant to the provisions of Public Act 81-1st Special
5Session-1 shall be deemed to be substitute revenues for the
6revenues derived from taxes imposed on personal property
7pursuant to the provisions of the "Revenue Act of 1939" or "An
8Act for the assessment and taxation of private car line
9companies", approved July 22, 1943, as amended, or Section 414
10of the Illinois Insurance Code, prior to the abolition of such
11taxes and shall be used for the same purposes as the revenues
12derived from ad valorem taxes on real estate.
13    Monies received by any taxing districts from the Personal
14Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward
15payment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was
16previously levied and collected from extensions against
17personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31, 1978
18and next applied toward payment of the proportionate share of
19the pension or retirement obligations of the taxing district
20which were previously levied and collected from extensions
21against personal property. For each such outstanding bond
22issue, the County Clerk shall determine the percentage of the
23debt service which was collected from extensions against real
24estate in the taxing district for 1978 taxes payable in 1979,
25as related to the total amount of such levies and collections
26from extensions against both real and personal property. For

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 130 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

11979 and subsequent years' taxes, the County Clerk shall levy
2and extend taxes against the real estate of each taxing
3district which will yield the said percentage or percentages
4of the debt service on such outstanding bonds. The balance of
5the amount necessary to fully pay such debt service shall
6constitute a first and prior lien upon the monies received by
7each such taxing district through the Personal Property Tax
8Replacement Fund and shall be first applied or set aside for
9such purpose. In counties having fewer than 3,000,000
10inhabitants, the amendments to this paragraph as made by
11Public Act 81-1255 shall be first applicable to 1980 taxes to
12be collected in 1981.

13        (3) the owners licensee is not an entity in which
14    employees participate in an employee stock ownership plan.
15    As used in this subsection (a-5), "modified annual
16adjusted gross receipts" means:
17        (A) for calendar year 2020, the annual adjusted gross
18    receipts for the current year minus the difference between
19    an amount equal to the average annual adjusted gross

1    receipts from a riverboat or casino conducting gambling
2    operations in the City of East St. Louis for 2014, 2015,
3    2016, 2017, and 2018 and the annual adjusted gross

6    adjusted gross receipts for the current year minus the
7    difference between an amount equal to the average annual
8    adjusted gross receipts from a riverboat or casino
9    conducting gambling operations in the City of East St.
10    Louis for 3 years preceding the current year and the
11    annual adjusted gross receipts for the immediately
12    preceding year.
13    (a-6) From June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act
14101-31) until June 30, 2023, an owners licensee that conducted
15gambling operations prior to January 1, 2011 shall receive a
16dollar-for-dollar credit against the tax imposed under this
17Section for any renovation or construction costs paid by the
18owners licensee, but in no event shall the credit exceed
19$2,000,000.
20    Additionally, from June 28, 2019 (the effective date of
21Public Act 101-31) until December 31, 2022, an owners licensee
22that (i) is located within 15 miles of the Missouri border, and
23(ii) has at least 3 riverboats, casinos, or their equivalent
24within a 45-mile radius, may be authorized to relocate to a new

10200HB2499sam003- 184 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1as the new location is within the same unit of local government
2and no more than 3 miles away from its original location. Such
3owners licensee shall receive a credit against the tax imposed
4under this Section equal to 8% of the total project costs, as
5approved by the Board, for any renovation or construction
6costs paid by the owners licensee for the construction of the
7new facility, provided that the new facility is operational by
8July 1, 2022. In determining whether or not to approve a
9relocation, the Board must consider the extent to which the
10relocation will diminish the gaming revenues received by other
11Illinois gaming facilities.
12    (a-7) Beginning in the initial adjustment year and through
13the final adjustment year, if the total obligation imposed
14pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) will result in an
15owners licensee receiving less after-tax adjusted gross
16receipts than it received in calendar year 2018, then the
17total amount of privilege taxes that the owners licensee is
18required to pay for that calendar year shall be reduced to the
19extent necessary so that the after-tax adjusted gross receipts
20in that calendar year equals the after-tax adjusted gross
21receipts in calendar year 2018, but the privilege tax
22reduction shall not exceed the annual adjustment cap. If
23pursuant to this subsection (a-7), the total obligation
24imposed pursuant to either subsection (a-5) or (a-6) shall be
25reduced, then the owners licensee shall not receive a refund
26from the State at the end of the subject calendar year but

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 185 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1instead shall be able to apply that amount as a credit against
2any payments it owes to the State in the following calendar
3year to satisfy its total obligation under either subsection
4(a-5) or (a-6). The credit for the final adjustment year shall
5occur in the calendar year following the final adjustment
6year.
7    If an owners licensee that conducted gambling operations
8prior to January 1, 2019 expands its riverboat or casino,
9including, but not limited to, with respect to its gaming
10floor, additional non-gaming amenities such as restaurants,
11bars, and hotels and other additional facilities, and incurs
12construction and other costs related to such expansion from
13June 28, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-31) until
14June 28, 2024 (the 5th anniversary of the effective date of
15Public Act 101-31), then for each $15,000,000 spent for any
16such construction or other costs related to expansion paid by
17the owners licensee, the final adjustment year shall be
18extended by one year and the annual adjustment cap shall
19increase by 0.2% of adjusted gross receipts during each
20calendar year until and including the final adjustment year.
21No further modifications to the final adjustment year or
22annual adjustment cap shall be made after $75,000,000 is
23incurred in construction or other costs related to expansion
24so that the final adjustment year shall not extend beyond the
259th calendar year after the initial adjustment year, not
26including the initial adjustment year, and the annual

16Comptroller as federal trust funds or State trust funds. The
17Audit Expense Fund may receive transfers from those trust
18funds only as directed herein, except where prohibited by the
19terms of the trust fund agreement. The Auditor General shall

2locally-held, for the cost of audits, studies, and
3investigations incurred on their behalf. Any revenues received
4under this provision shall be deposited into the Audit Expense
5Fund.
6    In the event that moneys on deposit in any fund are
7unavailable, by reason of deficiency or any other reason
8preventing their lawful transfer, the State Comptroller shall
9order transferred and the State Treasurer shall transfer the
10amount deficient or otherwise unavailable from the General
11Revenue Fund for deposit into the Audit Expense Fund.

21year thereafter, the Auditor General may direct the State
22Comptroller and Treasurer to transfer moneys from funds
23authorized by the General Assembly for that fund. In the event

4the Auditor General shall, on September 30, or as soon
5thereafter as is practicable, direct the State Comptroller and

1In entering orders for projects for which payments from the
2Grade Crossing Protection Fund will be made, the Commission
3shall account for expenditures authorized by the orders on a
4cash rather than an accrual basis. For purposes of this
5requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that the total cost of
6the project is expended in the fiscal year in which the order
7is entered, while a "cash basis" allocates the cost of the
8project among fiscal years as expenditures are actually made.
9To meet the requirements of this subsection, the Illinois
10Commerce Commission shall develop annual and 5-year project
11plans of rail crossing capital improvements that will be paid
12for with moneys from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund. The
13annual project plan shall identify projects for the succeeding
14fiscal year and the 5-year project plan shall identify
15projects for the 5 directly succeeding fiscal years. The
16Commission shall submit the annual and 5-year project plans
17for this Fund to the Governor, the President of the Senate, the
18Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the House of
19Representatives, and the Minority Leader of the House of
20Representatives on the first Wednesday in April of each year;

17        less than 1,000,000 inhabitants,
18            (D) 15.89% to the road districts of the State.
19        If a township is dissolved under Article 24 of the
20    Township Code, McHenry County shall receive any moneys
21    that would have been distributed to the township under
22    this subparagraph, except that a municipality that assumes
23    the powers and responsibilities of a road district under

1    road district or portion of the dissolved road district
2    over which the municipality assumed the powers and
3    responsibilities compared to the total area of the
4    dissolved township. The moneys received under this
5    subparagraph shall be used in the geographic area of the
6    dissolved township. If a township is reconstituted as
7    provided under Section 24-45 of the Township Code, McHenry
8    County or a municipality shall no longer be distributed
9    moneys under this subparagraph.
10    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
11Department of Transportation shall allot to each municipality
12its share of the amount apportioned to the several
13municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
14of such municipalities as determined by the last preceding
15municipal census if conducted by the Federal Government or
16Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality
17subsequent to the time of the last preceding census the
18corporate authorities of such municipality may cause a census
19to be taken of such annexed territory and the population so
20ascertained for such territory shall be added to the
21population of the municipality as determined by the last
22preceding census for the purpose of determining the allotment
23for that municipality. If the population of any municipality
24was not determined by the last Federal census preceding any
25apportionment, the apportionment to such municipality shall be
26in accordance with any census taken by such municipality. Any

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 281 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1municipal census used in accordance with this Section shall be
2certified to the Department of Transportation by the clerk of
3such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be subject
4to approval of the Department which may make such corrections
5as it ascertains to be necessary.
6    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
7Department of Transportation shall allot to each county its
8share of the amount apportioned to the several counties of the
9State as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
10counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
11proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees
12received from the residents of such counties, respectively,
13during the preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State
14shall, on or before April 15 of each year, transmit to the
15Department of Transportation a full and complete report
16showing the amount of motor vehicle license fees received from
17the residents of each county, respectively, during the
18preceding calendar year. The Department of Transportation
19shall, each month, use for allotment purposes the last such
20report received from the Secretary of State.
21    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
22Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
23counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
24road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
25several counties in the State in the proportion which the
26total mileage of township or district roads in the respective

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 282 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
2district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
3counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
4allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
5proportion which the total mileage of such township or
6district roads in the respective road districts bears to the
7total mileage of all such township or district roads in the
8county. After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation
9shall be made for any road district unless it levied a tax for
10road and bridge purposes in an amount which will require the
11extension of such tax against the taxable property in any such
12road district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the
13value thereof, based upon the assessment for the year
14immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
15as equalized by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage
16County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of
17road under the jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is
18less. Beginning July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an
19allocation shall be made for any road district if it levied a
20tax for road and bridge purposes. In counties other than
21DuPage County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the
22extension of the tax against the taxable property in the road
23district at a rate that is less than 0.08% of the value
24thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
25prior to the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
26by the Department of Revenue, then the amount of the

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 283 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1allocation for that road district shall be a percentage of the
2maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by
3dividing the rate extended by the district by 0.08%. In DuPage
4County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the extension of
5the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
6rate that is less than the lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of
7the taxable property in the road district, based upon the
8assessment for the year immediately prior to the year in which
9such tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of
10Revenue, or (ii) a rate that will yield an amount equal to
11$12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road
12district, then the amount of the allocation for the road
13district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal
14to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by
15the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or (ii) the rate that
16will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
17the jurisdiction of the road district.
18    Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
19tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
206-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
21an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
22than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
23equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
24DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
25mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
26whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 284 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
2road district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning
3in 2011 and thereafter, if any road district has levied a
4special tax for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
56-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in
6an amount that would require extension at a rate of not less
7than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property of that road
8district, as equalized or assessed by the Department of
9Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater
10than $12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the
11road district, whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a
12proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
13road district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment
14under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less
15than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
16County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
17of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
18jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
19special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
20purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
21district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment
22under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to
23or less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then
24any allotment under this Section shall be determined by the
25other levy for road and bridge purposes.
26    Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 285 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
2tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax
3levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in
4DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
5mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
6whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
7levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section
8and shall qualify the road district for an allotment under
9this Section.
10    In counties in which a property tax extension limitation
11is imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law,
12road districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel
13tax allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a
14full allotment if, at the time the property tax extension
15limitation was imposed, the road district was levying a road
16and bridge tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor
17fuel tax allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable
18amount after the imposition of the property tax extension
19limitation. Any road district may in all circumstances retain
20its entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
212011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
22and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
23the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
24rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
25property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
26preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 286 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
2equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
3jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
4    As used in this Section, the term "road district" means
5any road district, including a county unit road district,
6provided for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term
7"township or district road" means any road in the township and
8district road system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code.
9For the purposes of this Section, "township or district road"
10also includes such roads as are maintained by park districts,
11forest preserve districts and conservation districts. The
12Department of Transportation shall determine the mileage of
13all township and district roads for the purposes of making
14allotments and allocations of motor fuel tax funds for use in
15road districts.
16    Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
17counties shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment
18is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may
19invest these funds until their use is required and the
20interest earned by these investments shall be limited to the
21same uses as the principal funds.

25changing Section 18c-7401 as follows:
 

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 287 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1    (625 ILCS 5/18c-7401)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 18c-7401)
2    Sec. 18c-7401. Safety Requirements for Track, Facilities,
3and Equipment.
4    (1) General Requirements. Each rail carrier shall,
5consistent with rules, orders, and regulations of the Federal
6Railroad Administration, construct, maintain, and operate all
7of its equipment, track, and other property in this State in
8such a manner as to pose no undue risk to its employees or the
9person or property of any member of the public.
10    (2) Adoption of Federal Standards. The track safety
11standards and accident/incident standards promulgated by the
12Federal Railroad Administration shall be safety standards of
13the Commission. The Commission may, in addition, adopt by
14reference in its regulations other federal railroad safety
15standards, whether contained in federal statutes or in
16regulations adopted pursuant to such statutes.
17    (3) Railroad Crossings. No public road, highway, or street
18shall hereafter be constructed across the track of any rail
19carrier at grade, nor shall the track of any rail carrier be
20constructed across a public road, highway or street at grade,
21without having first secured the permission of the Commission;
22provided, that this Section shall not apply to the replacement
23of lawfully existing roads, highways, and tracks. No public
24pedestrian bridge or subway shall be constructed across the
25track of any rail carrier without having first secured the

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 288 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1permission of the Commission. The Commission shall have the
2right to refuse its permission or to grant it upon such terms
3and conditions as it may prescribe. The Commission shall have
4power to determine and prescribe the manner, including the
5particular point of crossing, and the terms of installation,
6operation, maintenance, use, and protection of each such
7crossing.
8    The Commission shall also have power, after a hearing, to
9require major alteration of or to abolish any crossing,
10heretofore or hereafter established, when in its opinion, the
11public safety requires such alteration or abolition, and,
12except in cities, villages, and incorporated towns of
131,000,000 or more inhabitants, to vacate and close that part
14of the highway on such crossing altered or abolished and cause
15barricades to be erected across such highway in such manner as
16to prevent the use of such crossing as a highway, when, in the
17opinion of the Commission, the public convenience served by
18the crossing in question is not such as to justify the further
19retention thereof; or to require a separation of grades, at
20railroad-highway grade crossings; or to require a separation
21of grades at any proposed crossing where a proposed public
22highway may cross the tracks of any rail carrier or carriers;
23and to prescribe, after a hearing of the parties, the terms
24upon which such separations shall be made and the proportion
25in which the expense of the alteration or abolition of such
26crossings or the separation of such grades, having regard to

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 289 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1the benefits, if any, accruing to the rail carrier or any party
2in interest, shall be divided between the rail carrier or
3carriers affected, or between such carrier or carriers and the
4State, county, municipality or other public authority in
5interest. However, a public hearing by the Commission to
6abolish a crossing shall not be required when the public
7highway authority in interest vacates the highway. In such
8instance the rail carrier, following notification to the
9Commission and the highway authority, shall remove any grade
10crossing warning devices and the grade crossing surface.
11    The Commission shall also have power by its order to
12require the reconstruction, minor alteration, minor
13relocation, or improvement of any crossing (including the
14necessary highway approaches thereto) of any railroad across
15any highway or public road, pedestrian bridge, or pedestrian
16subway, whether such crossing be at grade or by overhead
17structure or by subway, whenever the Commission finds after a
18hearing or without a hearing as otherwise provided in this
19paragraph that such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or
20improvement is necessary to preserve or promote the safety or
21convenience of the public or of the employees or passengers of
22such rail carrier or carriers. By its original order or
23supplemental orders in such case, the Commission may direct
24such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or improvement to
25be made in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as
26may be reasonable and necessary and may apportion the cost of

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 290 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1such reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or improvement
2and the subsequent maintenance thereof, having regard to the
3benefits, if any, accruing to the railroad or any party in
4interest, between the rail carrier or carriers and public
5utilities affected, or between such carrier or carriers and
6public utilities and the State, county, municipality or other
7public authority in interest. The cost to be so apportioned
8shall include the cost of changes or alterations in the
9equipment of public utilities affected as well as the cost of
10the relocation, diversion or establishment of any public
11highway, made necessary by such reconstruction, alteration,
12relocation, or improvement of said crossing. A hearing shall
13not be required in those instances when the Commission enters
14an order confirming a written stipulation in which the
15Commission, the public highway authority or other public
16authority in interest, the rail carrier or carriers affected,
17and in instances involving the use of the Grade Crossing
18Protection Fund, the Illinois Department of Transportation,
19agree on the reconstruction, alteration, relocation, or
20improvement and the subsequent maintenance thereof and the
21division of costs of such changes of any grade crossing
22(including the necessary highway approaches thereto) of any
23railroad across any highway, pedestrian bridge, or pedestrian
24subway.
25    The Commission shall also have power to enter into
26stipulated agreements with a rail carrier or rail carriers or

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 291 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1public authorities to fund, provide, install, and maintain
2safety treatments to deter trespassing on railroad property in
3accordance with paragraph (1) of Section 18c-7503 at locations
4approved by such rail carrier or rail carriers following a
5diagnostic evaluation between the Commission and the rail
6carrier or rail carriers, including any public authority in
7interest or the Federal Railroad Administration, and to order
8the allocation of the cost of those treatments and their
9installation and maintenance from the Grade Crossing
10Protection Fund. Safety treatments approved under this
11paragraph by the Commission shall be deemed adequate and
12appropriate.
13    Every rail carrier operating in the State of Illinois
14shall construct and maintain every highway crossing over its
15tracks within the State so that the roadway at the
16intersection shall be as flush with the rails as superelevated
17curves will allow, and, unless otherwise ordered by the
18Commission, shall construct and maintain the approaches
19thereto at a grade of not more than 5% within the right of way
20for a distance of not less the 6 feet on each side of the
21centerline of such tracks; provided, that the grades at the
22approaches may be maintained in excess of 5% only when
23authorized by the Commission.
24    Every rail carrier operating within this State shall
25remove from its right of way at all railroad-highway grade
26crossings within the State, such brush, shrubbery, and trees

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 292 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1as is reasonably practical for a distance of not less than 500
2feet in either direction from each grade crossing. The
3Commission shall have power, upon its own motion, or upon
4complaint, and after having made proper investigation, to
5require the installation of adequate and appropriate luminous
6reflective warning signs, luminous flashing signals, crossing
7gates illuminated at night, or other protective devices in
8order to promote and safeguard the health and safety of the
9public. Luminous flashing signal or crossing gate devices
10installed at grade crossings, which have been approved by the
11Commission, shall be deemed adequate and appropriate. The
12Commission shall have authority to determine the number, type,
13and location of such signs, signals, gates, or other
14protective devices which, however, shall conform as near as
15may be with generally recognized national standards, and the
16Commission shall have authority to prescribe the division of
17the cost of the installation and subsequent maintenance of
18such signs, signals, gates, or other protective devices
19between the rail carrier or carriers, the public highway
20authority or other public authority in interest, and in
21instances involving the use of the Grade Crossing Protection
22Fund, the Illinois Department of Transportation. Except where
23train crews provide flagging of the crossing to road users,
24yield signs shall be installed at all highway intersections
25with every grade crossing in this State that is not equipped
26with automatic warning devices, such as luminous flashing

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 293 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1signals or crossing gate devices. A stop sign may be used in
2lieu of the yield sign when an engineering study conducted in
3cooperation with the highway authority and the Illinois
4Department of Transportation has determined that a stop sign
5is warranted. If the Commission has ordered the installation
6of luminous flashing signal or crossing gate devices at a
7grade crossing not equipped with active warning devices, the
8Commission shall order the installation of temporary stop
9signs at the highway intersection with the grade crossing
10unless an engineering study has determined that a stop sign is
11not appropriate. If a stop sign is not appropriate, the
12Commission may order the installation of other appropriate
13supplemental signing as determined by an engineering study.
14The temporary signs shall remain in place until the luminous
15flashing signal or crossing gate devices have been installed.
16The rail carrier is responsible for the installation and
17subsequent maintenance of any required signs. The permanent
18signs shall be in place by July 1, 2011.
19    No railroad may change or modify the warning device system
20at a railroad-highway grade crossing, including warning
21systems interconnected with highway traffic control signals,
22without having first received the approval of the Commission.
23The Commission shall have the further power, upon application,
24upon its own motion, or upon complaint and after having made
25proper investigation, to require the interconnection of grade
26crossing warning devices with traffic control signals at

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 294 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1highway intersections located at or near railroad crossings
2within the distances described by the State Manual on Uniform
3Traffic Control Devices adopted pursuant to Section 11-301 of
4this Code. In addition, State and local authorities may not
5install, remove, modernize, or otherwise modify traffic
6control signals at a highway intersection that is
7interconnected or proposed to be interconnected with grade
8crossing warning devices when the change affects the number,
9type, or location of traffic control devices on the track
10approach leg or legs of the intersection or the timing of the
11railroad preemption sequence of operation until the Commission
12has approved the installation, removal, modernization, or
13modification. Commission approval shall be limited to
14consideration of issues directly affecting the public safety
15at the railroad-highway grade crossing. The electrical circuit
16devices, alternate warning devices, and preemption sequences
17shall conform as nearly as possible, considering the
18particular characteristics of the crossing and intersection
19area, to the State manual adopted by the Illinois Department
20of Transportation pursuant to Section 11-301 of this Code and
21such federal standards as are made applicable by subsection
22(2) of this Section. In order to carry out this authority, the
23Commission shall have the authority to determine the number,
24type, and location of traffic control devices on the track
25approach leg or legs of the intersection and the timing of the
26railroad preemption sequence of operation. The Commission

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 295 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1shall prescribe the division of costs for installation and
2maintenance of all devices required by this paragraph between
3the railroad or railroads and the highway authority in
4interest and in instances involving the use of the Grade
5Crossing Protection Fund or a State highway, the Illinois
6Department of Transportation.
7    Any person who unlawfully or maliciously removes, throws
8down, damages or defaces any sign, signal, gate, or other
9protective device, located at or near any public grade
10crossing, shall be guilty of a petty offense and fined not less
11than $50 nor more than $200 for each offense. In addition to
12fines levied under the provisions of this Section a person
13adjudged guilty hereunder may also be directed to make
14restitution for the costs of repair or replacement, or both,
15necessitated by his misconduct.
16    It is the public policy of the State of Illinois to enhance
17public safety by establishing safe grade crossings. In order
18to implement this policy, the Illinois Commerce Commission is
19directed to conduct public hearings and to adopt specific
20criteria by July 1, 1994, that shall be adhered to by the
21Illinois Commerce Commission in determining if a grade
22crossing should be opened or abolished. The following factors
23shall be considered by the Illinois Commerce Commission in
24developing the specific criteria for opening and abolishing
25grade crossings:
26        (a) timetable speed of passenger trains;

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 296 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1        (b) distance to an alternate crossing;
2        (c) accident history for the last 5 years;
3        (d) number of vehicular traffic and posted speed
4    limits;
5        (e) number of freight trains and their timetable
6    speeds;
7        (f) the type of warning device present at the grade
8    crossing;
9        (g) alignments of the roadway and railroad, and the
10    angle of intersection of those alignments;
11        (h) use of the grade crossing by trucks carrying
12    hazardous materials, vehicles carrying passengers for
13    hire, and school buses; and
14        (i) use of the grade crossing by emergency vehicles.
15    The Illinois Commerce Commission, upon petition to open or
16abolish a grade crossing, shall enter an order opening or
17abolishing the crossing if it meets the specific criteria
18adopted by the Commission.
19    Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (3), in no
20instance shall a grade crossing be permanently closed without
21public hearing first being held and notice of such hearing
22being published in an area newspaper of local general
23circulation.
24    (4) Freight Trains; Radio Communications. The Commission
25shall after hearing and order require that every main line
26railroad freight train operating on main tracks outside of

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 297 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1yard limits within this State shall be equipped with a radio
2communication system. The Commission after notice and hearing
3may grant exemptions from the requirements of this Section as
4to secondary and branch lines.
5    (5) Railroad Bridges and Trestles; Walkway and Handrail.
6In cases in which the Commission finds the same to be practical
7and necessary for safety of railroad employees, bridges and
8trestles, over and upon which railroad trains are operated,
9shall include as a part thereof, a safe and suitable walkway
10and handrail on one side only of such bridge or trestle, and
11such handrail shall be located at the outer edge of the walkway
12and shall provide a clearance of not less than 8 feet, 6
13inches, from the center line of the nearest track, measured at
14right angles thereto.
15    (6) Packages Containing Articles for First Aid to Injured
16on Trains.
17        (a) All rail carriers shall provide a first aid kit
18    that contains, at a minimum, those articles prescribed by
19    the Commission, on each train or engine, for first aid to
20    persons who may be injured in the course of the operation
21    of such trains.
22        (b) A vehicle, excluding a taxi cab used in an
23    emergency situation, operated by a contract carrier
24    transporting railroad employees in the course of their
25    employment shall be equipped with a readily available
26    first aid kit that contains, as a minimum, the same

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 298 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1    articles that are required on each train or engine.
2    (7) Abandoned Bridges, Crossings, and Other Rail Plant.
3The Commission shall have authority, after notice and hearing,
4to order:
5        (a) the removal of any abandoned railroad tracks from
6    roads, streets or other thoroughfares in this State; and
7        (b) the removal of abandoned overhead railroad
8    structures crossing highways, waterways, or railroads.
9    The Commission may equitably apportion the cost of such
10actions between the rail carrier or carriers, public
11utilities, and the State, county, municipality, township, road
12district, or other public authority in interest.
13    (8) Railroad-Highway Bridge Clearance. A vertical
14clearance of not less than 23 feet above the top of rail shall
15be provided for all new or reconstructed highway bridges
16constructed over a railroad track. The Commission may permit a
17lesser clearance if it determines that the 23-foot clearance
18standard cannot be justified based on engineering,
19operational, and economic conditions.
20    (9) Right of Access To Railroad Property.
21        (a) A community antenna television company franchised
22    by a municipality or county pursuant to the Illinois
23    Municipal Code or the Counties Code, respectively, shall
24    not enter upon any real estate or rights-of-way in the
25    possession or control of a railroad subject to the
26    jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission unless

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 299 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1    the community antenna television company first complies
2    with the applicable provisions of subparagraph (f) of

11        (c) This subsection (9) applies to any entry upon any
12    real estate or right-of-way in the possession or control
13    of a railroad subject to the jurisdiction of the Illinois
14    Commerce Commission for the purpose of or in connection
15    with the construction, or installation of a community
16    antenna television company's system or facilities
17    commenced or renewed on or after August 22, 2017 (the
18    effective date of Public Act 100-251).
19        (d) Nothing in Public Act 100-251 shall be construed
20    to prevent a railroad from negotiating other terms and
21    conditions or the resolution of any dispute in relation to
22    an entry upon or right of access as set forth in this
23    subsection (9).
24        (e) For purposes of this subsection (9):

1    (c) Graduate medical education.
2        (1) The calculation of graduate medical education
3    payments shall be based on the hospital's Medicare cost
4    report ending in Calendar Year 2018, as reported in the
5    Healthcare Cost Report Information System file, release
6    date September 30, 2019. An Illinois hospital reporting
7    intern and resident cost on its Medicare cost report shall
8    be eligible for graduate medical education payments.
9        (2) Each hospital's annualized Medicaid Intern
10    Resident Cost is calculated using annualized intern and
11    resident total costs obtained from Worksheet B Part I,
12    Columns 21 and 22 the sum of Lines 30-43, 50-76, 90-93,
13    96-98, and 105-112 multiplied by the percentage that the
14    hospital's Medicaid days (Worksheet S3 Part I, Column 7,
15    Lines 2, 3, 4, 14, 16-18, and 32) comprise of the
16    hospital's total days (Worksheet S3 Part I, Column 8,
17    Lines 14, 16-18, and 32).
18        (3) An annualized Medicaid indirect medical education
19    (IME) payment is calculated for each hospital using its
20    IME payments (Worksheet E Part A, Line 29, Column 1)
21    multiplied by the percentage that its Medicaid days
22    (Worksheet S3 Part I, Column 7, Lines 2, 3, 4, 14, 16-18,
23    and 32) comprise of its Medicare days (Worksheet S3 Part
24    I, Column 6, Lines 2, 3, 4, 14, and 16-18).
25        (4) For each hospital, its annualized Medicaid Intern
26    Resident Cost and its annualized Medicaid IME payment are

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 394 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1    summed, and, except as capped at 120% of the average cost
2    per intern and resident for all qualifying hospitals as
3    calculated under this paragraph, is multiplied by 22.6% to
4    determine the hospital's final graduate medical education
5    payment. Each hospital's average cost per intern and
6    resident shall be calculated by summing its total
7    annualized Medicaid Intern Resident Cost plus its
8    annualized Medicaid IME payment and dividing that amount
9    by the hospital's total Full Time Equivalent Residents and
10    Interns. If the hospital's average per intern and resident
11    cost is greater than 120% of the same calculation for all
12    qualifying hospitals, the hospital's per intern and
13    resident cost shall be capped at 120% of the average cost
14    for all qualifying hospitals.

21maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis
22in accordance with actuarial recommendations.
23    The Board shall determine the amount of State

7of the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
8State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
9required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
10level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
11including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
12projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
13    For each of State fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the

7    thereafter, by calculating the change in equal annual
8    amounts over that 5-year period and then implementing it
9    at the resulting annual rate in each of the remaining
10    fiscal years in that 5-year period.
11    For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
12contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable

1actuarial liabilities of the System.
2    Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
3the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
4Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
5constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
6contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
7Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
8calculation of, the required State contributions under this
9Article in any future year until the System has reached a

1the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of Section
27.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act. In determining this
3maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the
4amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a
5percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal
6increments calculated from the sum of the required State
7contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable
8portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal
9year 2007 on the bonds issued in fiscal year 2003 for the
10purposes of Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, so

18    defined benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan,
19    less the employee contribution, for each employee of that
20    employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
21    the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
22    election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161; for fiscal
23    year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, the defined
24    benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, less the
25    employee contribution, plus 2%, for each employee of that
26    employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected

1    the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
2    election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161; plus
3        (ii) the amount required for that fiscal year to
4    amortize any unfunded actuarial accrued liability
5    associated with the present value of liabilities
6    attributable to the employer's account under Section
7    15-155.2, determined as a level percentage of payroll over
8    a 30-year rolling amortization period.
9    In determining contributions required under item (i) of
10this subsection, the System shall determine an aggregate rate
11for all employers, expressed as a percentage of projected
12payroll.
13    In determining the contributions required under item (ii)
14of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System
15on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in
16the most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is
17available at the time of the computation.
18    The contributions required under this subsection (a-2)
19shall be paid by an employer concurrently with that employer's
20payroll payment period. The State, as the actual employer of
21an employee, shall make the required contributions under this
22subsection.

2behalf of the employee. However, universities having employees
3who are compensated out of local auxiliary funds, income
4funds, or service enterprise funds are not required to pay
5such contributions on behalf of those employees. The local
6auxiliary funds, income funds, and service enterprise funds of
7universities shall not be considered trust funds for the
8purpose of this Article, but funds of alumni associations,
9foundations, and athletic associations which are affiliated
10with the universities included as employers under this Article
11and other employers which do not receive State appropriations
12are considered to be trust funds for the purpose of this
13Article.
14    (b-1) The City of Urbana and the City of Champaign shall
15each make employer contributions to this System for their
16respective firefighter employees who participate in this
17System pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 15-107. The rate
18of contributions to be made by those municipalities shall be
19determined annually by the Board on the basis of the actuarial
20assumptions adopted by the Board and the recommendations of
21the actuary, and shall be expressed as a percentage of salary
22for each such employee. The Board shall certify the rate to the
23affected municipalities as soon as may be practical. The
24employer contributions required under this subsection shall be
25remitted by the municipality to the System at the same time and
26in the same manner as employee contributions.

2contribution shall be apportioned among the various funds of
3the State and other employers, whether trust, federal, or
4other funds, in accordance with actuarial procedures approved
5by the Board. State of Illinois contributions for employers

8System. The contributions for Class I community colleges
9covering earnings other than those paid from trust and federal
10funds, shall be payable solely from appropriations to the
11Illinois Community College Board or the System for employer

4    (g) If June 4, 2018 (Public Act 100-587) the amount of a
5participant's earnings for any academic year used to determine
6the final rate of earnings, determined on a full-time
7equivalent basis, exceeds the amount of his or her earnings
8with the same employer for the previous academic year,
9determined on a full-time equivalent basis, by more than 6%,
10the participant's employer shall pay to the System, in
11addition to all other payments required under this Section and
12in accordance with guidelines established by the System, the
13present value of the increase in benefits resulting from the
14portion of the increase in earnings that is in excess of 6%.
15This present value shall be computed by the System on the basis
16of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most
17recent actuarial valuation of the System that is available at
18the time of the computation. The System may require the
19employer to provide any pertinent information or
20documentation.
21    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be
22required under this subsection (g), the System shall calculate
23the amount of the payment and bill the employer for that
24amount. The bill shall specify the calculations used to
25determine the amount due. If the employer disputes the amount

4to subsection (h), (h-5), or (i) of this Section, must include
5an affidavit setting forth and attesting to all facts within
6the employer's knowledge that are pertinent to the
7applicability of that subsection. Upon receiving a timely
8application for recalculation, the System shall review the
9application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
10    The employer contributions required under this subsection
11(g) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
12receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not
13paid within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest
14will be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual
15actuarially assumed rate of return on investment compounded
16annually from the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments
17must be concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt
18of the bill.
19    When assessing payment for any amount due under this
20subsection (g), the System shall include earnings, to the

24    each employer.
25        (2) The dollar amount by which each employer's
26    contribution to the System was changed due to

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 445 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1    recalculations required by Public Act 94-1057.

8    (j-5) For State fiscal years beginning on or after July 1,
92017, if the amount of a participant's earnings for any State
10fiscal year exceeds the amount of the salary set by law for the
11Governor that is in effect on July 1 of that fiscal year, the
12participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to
13all other payments required under this Section and in
14accordance with guidelines established by the System, an
15amount determined by the System to be equal to the employer
16normal cost, as established by the System and expressed as a
17total percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of
18earnings in excess of the amount of the salary set by law for
19the Governor. This amount shall be computed by the System on
20the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the
21most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is
22available at the time of the computation. The System may
23require the employer to provide any pertinent information or
24documentation.
25    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be
26required under this subsection, the System shall calculate the

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 446 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.
2The bill shall specify the calculation used to determine the
3amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it
4may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the
5System in writing for a recalculation. The application must
6specify in detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a
7timely application for recalculation, the System shall review
8the application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount
9due.
10    The employer contributions required under this subsection
11may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
12issuance of the bill. If the employer contributions are not
13paid within 90 days after issuance of the bill, then interest
14will be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual
15actuarially assumed rate of return on investment compounded
16annually from the 91st day after issuance of the bill. All
17payments must be received within 3 years after issuance of the
18bill. If the employer fails to make complete payment,
19including applicable interest, within 3 years, then the System
20may, after giving notice to the employer, certify the
21delinquent amount to the State Comptroller, and the
22Comptroller shall thereupon deduct the certified delinquent
23amount from State funds payable to the employer and pay them
24instead to the System.
25    This subsection (j-5) does not apply to a participant's
26earnings to the extent an employer pays the employer normal

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 447 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1cost of such earnings.
2    The changes made to this subsection (j-5) by Public Act
3100-624 are intended to apply retroactively to July 6, 2017
4(the effective date of Public Act 100-23).
5    (k) The Illinois Community College Board shall adopt rules
6for recommending lists of promotional positions submitted to
7the Board by community colleges and for reviewing the
8promotional lists on an annual basis. When recommending
9promotional lists, the Board shall consider the similarity of
10the positions submitted to those positions recognized for
11State universities by the State Universities Civil Service
12System. The Illinois Community College Board shall file a copy
13of its findings with the System. The System shall consider the
14findings of the Illinois Community College Board when making
15determinations under this Section. The System shall not
16exclude any earnings increases resulting from a promotion when
17the promotion was not submitted by a community college.
18Nothing in this subsection (k) shall require any community
19college to submit any information to the Community College
20Board.
21    (l) For purposes of determining the required State
22contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
23shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
24which shall be calculated as follows:
25    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
26assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 448 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
2assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
3gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
4year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
55-year period following that fiscal year.
6    (m) For purposes of determining the required State
7contribution to the system for a particular year, the
8actuarial value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of
9return equal to the system's actuarially assumed rate of
10return.

15    Sec. 15-198. Application and expiration of new benefit
16increases.
17    (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
18an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
19Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
20any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
21to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
22effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
23however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
24the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
25100-23, Public Act 100-587, Public Act 100-769, Public Act

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 449 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1101-10, Public Act 101-610, or this amendatory Act of the
2102nd General Assembly or this amendatory Act of the 101st
3General Assembly.
4    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or
5any subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit
6increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be
7granted only in conformance with and contingent upon
8compliance with the provisions of this Section.
9    (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
10identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
11funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
12increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
13    Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
14Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
15subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
16Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
17funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
18shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of
19the Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by
20a Public Act that does not include the additional funding
21required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
22Pension Division determines that the additional funding
23provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is
24or has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
25the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
26by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 450 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
2made.
3    (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
4its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
5in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
6under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
7Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
8by law.
9    (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
10the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
11under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
12and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
13increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
14alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
15other person, including, without limitation, a person who
16continues in service after the expiration date and did not
17apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
18benefit increase was in effect.

8the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.
9    (b-2) Allocations from the Common School Fund apportioned

15be sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90%
16of the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
17State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
18required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
19level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
20including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
21projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
22    For each of State fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the
23State shall make an additional contribution to the System

2increases or decreases the required State contribution and
3first applies in State fiscal year 2018 or thereafter shall be
4implemented in equal annual amounts over a 5-year period
5beginning in the State fiscal year in which the actuarial
6change first applies to the required State contribution.
7    A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that
8increases or decreases the required State contribution and
9first applied to the State contribution in fiscal year 2014,
102015, 2016, or 2017 shall be implemented:
11        (i) as already applied in State fiscal years before
12    2018; and
13        (ii) in the portion of the 5-year period beginning in
14    the State fiscal year in which the actuarial change first
15    applied that occurs in State fiscal year 2018 or
16    thereafter, by calculating the change in equal annual
17    amounts over that 5-year period and then implementing it
18    at the resulting annual rate in each of the remaining
19    fiscal years in that 5-year period.
20    For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
21contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
22employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual

15    For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the
16State contribution to the System, as a percentage of the
17applicable employee payroll, shall be increased in equal
18annual increments from the required State contribution for
19State fiscal year 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the

26    Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 464 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
2Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
3constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
4contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
5Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
6calculation of, the required State contributions under this
7Article in any future year until the System has reached a
8funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
9the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
10term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
11System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
12    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
13required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
14fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as
15calculated under this Section and certified under subsection
16(a-1), shall not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of
17the required State contribution that would have been
18calculated under this Section for that fiscal year if the
19System had not received any payments under subsection (d) of
20Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the
21portion of the State's total debt service payments for that
22fiscal year on the bonds issued in fiscal year 2003 for the
23purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined and certified by
24the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's portion of
25the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of Section

10200HB2499sam003- 465 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the
2amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a
3percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal
4increments calculated from the sum of the required State
5contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable
6portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal
7year 2007 on the bonds issued in fiscal year 2003 for the
8purposes of Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, so
9that, by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
10the rate otherwise required under this Section.
11    (b-4) Beginning in fiscal year 2018, each employer under
12this Article shall pay to the System a required contribution
13determined as a percentage of projected payroll and sufficient
14to produce an annual amount equal to:
15        (i) for each of fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the
16    defined benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan,
17    less the employee contribution, for each employee of that
18    employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
19    the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
20    election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; for fiscal
21    year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, the defined
22    benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, less the
23    employee contribution, plus 2%, for each employee of that
24    employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected
25    the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the
26    election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; plus

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 466 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1        (ii) the amount required for that fiscal year to
2    amortize any unfunded actuarial accrued liability
3    associated with the present value of liabilities
4    attributable to the employer's account under Section
5    16-158.3, determined as a level percentage of payroll over
6    a 30-year rolling amortization period.
7    In determining contributions required under item (i) of
8this subsection, the System shall determine an aggregate rate
9for all employers, expressed as a percentage of projected
10payroll.
11    In determining the contributions required under item (ii)
12of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System
13on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in
14the most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is
15available at the time of the computation.
16    The contributions required under this subsection (b-4)
17shall be paid by an employer concurrently with that employer's
18payroll payment period. The State, as the actual employer of
19an employee, shall make the required contributions under this
20subsection.
21    (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all
22pensions, retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and
23other benefits granted under or assumed by this System, and
24all expenses in connection with the administration and
25operation thereof, are obligations of the State.
26    If members are paid from special trust or federal funds

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 467 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1which are administered by the employing unit, whether school
2district or other unit, the employing unit shall pay to the
3System from such funds the full accruing retirement costs
4based upon that service, which, beginning July 1, 2017, shall
5be at a rate, expressed as a percentage of salary, equal to the
6total employer's normal cost, expressed as a percentage of
7payroll, as determined by the System. Employer contributions,
8based on salary paid to members from federal funds, may be
9forwarded by the distributing agency of the State of Illinois
10to the System prior to allocation, in an amount determined in
11accordance with guidelines established by such agency and the
12System. Any contribution for fiscal year 2015 collected as a
13result of the change made by Public Act 98-674 shall be
14considered a State contribution under subsection (b-3) of this
15Section.
16    (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as
17defined in paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the
18employer's normal cost of benefits based upon the teacher's
19service, in addition to employee contributions, as determined
20by the System. Such employer contributions shall be forwarded
21monthly in accordance with guidelines established by the
22System.
23    However, with respect to benefits granted under Section
2416-133.4 or 16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8)
25of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
26(rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 468 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer
2shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
3the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
416-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section
516-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
6absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
7considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
8is on leave.
9    (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
10shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
11follows:
12        (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
13    employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each
14    teacher's salary.
15        (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the
16    employer contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each
17    teacher's salary.
18The school district or other employing unit may pay these
19employer contributions out of any source of funding available
20for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
21System on the schedule established for the payment of member
22contributions.
23    These employer contributions are intended to offset a
24portion of the cost to the System of the increases in
25retirement benefits resulting from Public Act 90-582.
26    Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 469 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1the contributions required under this subsection (e) with
2respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
32002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
4employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State
5Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
6paid to teachers for that period.
7    The additional 1% employee contribution required under
8Section 16-152 by Public Act 90-582 is the responsibility of
9the teacher and not the teacher's employer, unless the
10employer agrees, through collective bargaining or otherwise,
11to make the contribution on behalf of the teacher.
12    If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
131, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
14pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
15Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
16this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
17the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
18for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and
19the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
20the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
21the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
22termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
23after May 1, 1998.
24    (f) If June 4, 2018 (Public Act 100-587) the amount of a
25teacher's salary for any school year used to determine final
26average salary exceeds the member's annual full-time salary

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 470 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1rate with the same employer for the previous school year by
2more than 6%, the teacher's employer shall pay to the System,
3in addition to all other payments required under this Section
4and in accordance with guidelines established by the System,
5the present value of the increase in benefits resulting from
6the portion of the increase in salary that is in excess of 6%.
7This present value shall be computed by the System on the basis
8of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most
9recent actuarial valuation of the System that is available at
10the time of the computation. If a teacher's salary for the
112005-2006 school year is used to determine final average
12salary under this subsection (f), then the changes made to
13this subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1057 shall apply in
14calculating whether the increase in his or her salary is in
15excess of 6%. For the purposes of this Section, change in
16employment under Section 10-21.12 of the School Code on or
17after June 1, 2005 shall constitute a change in employer. The
18System may require the employer to provide any pertinent
19information or documentation. The changes made to this
20subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1111 apply without regard to
21whether the teacher was in service on or after its effective
22date.
23    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be
24required under this subsection, the System shall calculate the
25amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.
26The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 471 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it
2may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the
3System in writing for a recalculation. The application must
4specify in detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the
5employer asserts that the calculation is subject to subsection
6(g), (g-5), (g-10), or (h) of this Section, must include an
7affidavit setting forth and attesting to all facts within the
8employer's knowledge that are pertinent to the applicability
9of that subsection. Upon receiving a timely application for
10recalculation, the System shall review the application and, if
11appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
12    The employer contributions required under this subsection
13(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
14receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not
15paid within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest
16will be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual
17actuarially assumed rate of return on investment compounded
18annually from the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments
19must be concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt
20of the bill.
21    (f-1) (Blank). June 4, 2018 (Public Act 100-587)
22    (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or
23salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
241, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
25require the System to refund any payments received before July
2631, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).

2all other payments required under this Section and in
3accordance with guidelines established by the System, an
4amount determined by the System to be equal to the employer
5normal cost, as established by the System and expressed as a
6total percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of
7salary in excess of the amount of the salary set for the
8Governor. This amount shall be computed by the System on the
9basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most
10recent actuarial valuation of the System that is available at
11the time of the computation. The System may require the
12employer to provide any pertinent information or
13documentation.
14    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be
15required under this subsection, the System shall calculate the
16amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.
17The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the
18amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it
19may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the
20System in writing for a recalculation. The application must
21specify in detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a
22timely application for recalculation, the System shall review
23the application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount
24due.
25    The employer contributions required under this subsection
26may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 476 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not
2paid within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest
3will be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual
4actuarially assumed rate of return on investment compounded
5annually from the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments
6must be concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt
7of the bill.
8    (j) For purposes of determining the required State
9contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
10shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
11which shall be calculated as follows:
12    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
13assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
14that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
15assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
16gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
17year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
185-year period following that fiscal year.
19    (k) For purposes of determining the required State
20contribution to the system for a particular year, the
21actuarial value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of
22return equal to the system's actuarially assumed rate of
23return.

3    Sec. 16-203. Application and expiration of new benefit
4increases.
5    (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
6an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
7Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
8any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
9to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
10effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
11however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
12the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
1395-910, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, Public Act
14100-743, or Public Act 100-769, Public Act 101-10, Public Act
15101-49, or this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly
16or this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly.
17    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or
18any subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit
19increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be
20granted only in conformance with and contingent upon
21compliance with the provisions of this Section.
22    (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
23identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
24funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
25increase in cost to the System as it accrues.

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 478 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1    Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
2Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
3subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
4Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
5funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
6shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of
7the Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by
8a Public Act that does not include the additional funding
9required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
10Pension Division determines that the additional funding
11provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is
12or has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
13the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
14by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
15at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
16made.
17    (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
18its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
19in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
20under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
21Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
22by law.
23    (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
24the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
25under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
26and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 479 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
2alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
3other person, including, without limitation, a person who
4continues in service after the expiration date and did not
5apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
6benefit increase was in effect.

11contract and the Federal Acquisition Regulations apply.
12    With the exception of Subpart F of 2 CFR 200, which is
13required by the Single Audit Act, in any circumstances where
14the provisions of federal statutes or regulations differ from
15the provisions of this Act, the provision of the federal

17with Indian tribes, the provisions of the Indian
18Self-Determination and Education and Assistance Act, as
19amended, 25 U.S.C. 450-458ddd-2.

21through E of 2 CFR 200 to for-profit entities, foreign public
22entities, or foreign organizations, except where the awarding

24be inconsistent with the international obligations of the
25United States or the statute or regulations of a foreign
26government.

23    (f) The Department shall submit proposed rules for
24adoption by January 1, 2020 establishing a system for

10200HB2499sam003- 528 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1adjusted for any waivers granted under Section 3-303.1.
2Compliance shall be determined quarterly by comparing the
3number of hours provided per resident per day using the
4Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' payroll-based
5journal and the facility's daily census, broken down by
6intermediate and skilled care as self-reported by the facility
7to the Department on a quarterly basis. The Department shall
8use the quarterly payroll-based journal and the self-reported
9census to calculate the number of hours provided per resident
10per day and compare this ratio to the minimum staffing
11standards required under this Section, as impacted by any
12waivers granted under Section 3-303.1. Discrepancies between
13job titles contained in this Section and the payroll-based
14journal shall be addressed by rule. The manner in which the
15Department requests payroll-based journal information to be
16submitted shall align with the federal Centers for Medicare
17and Medicaid Services' requirements that allow providers to
18submit the quarterly data in an aggregate manner.
19    (g) The Department shall submit proposed rules for
20adoption by January 1, 2020 establishing monetary penalties
21for facilities not in compliance with minimum staffing
22standards under this Section. No monetary penalty may be
23issued for noncompliance during the implementation period,
24which shall be July 1, 2020 through December 31, 2021
25September 30, 2020. If a facility is found to be noncompliant
26during the implementation period, the Department shall provide

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 529 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1a written notice identifying the staffing deficiencies and
2require the facility to provide a sufficiently detailed
3correction plan to meet the statutory minimum staffing levels.
4Monetary penalties shall be imposed beginning no later than
5January 1, 2022 January 1, 2021 and quarterly thereafter and
6shall be based on the latest quarter for which the Department
7has data. Monetary penalties shall be established based on a
8formula that calculates on a daily basis the cost of wages and
9benefits for the missing staffing hours. All notices of
10noncompliance shall include the computations used to determine
11noncompliance and establishing the variance between minimum
12staffing ratios and the Department's computations. The penalty
13for the first offense shall be 125% of the cost of wages and
14benefits for the missing staffing hours. The penalty shall
15increase to 150% of the cost of wages and benefits for the
16missing staffing hours for the second offense and 200% the
17cost of wages and benefits for the missing staffing hours for
18the third and all subsequent offenses. The penalty shall be
19imposed regardless of whether the facility has committed other
20violations of this Act during the same period that the
21staffing offense occurred. The penalty may not be waived, but
22the Department shall have the discretion to determine the
23gravity of the violation in situations where there is no more
24than a 10% deviation from the staffing requirements and make
25appropriate adjustments to the penalty. The Department is
26granted discretion to waive the penalty when unforeseen

36 times per quarter. Nothing in this Section diminishes a
4facility's right to appeal.

6            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
7            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
8            or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates

17            to the application or use of an alternative method
18            of apportionment under Section 304(f).
19                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
20            Director from making any other adjustment
21            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
22            for any tax year beginning after the effective
23            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
24            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the

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

13                intangible expense or cost between the
14                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
15                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
16                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
17                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
18                or
19                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
20            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

15        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
16        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
17        business group but for the fact that the person is

19        person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
20        years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person

22        group but for the fact that the person is prohibited

26        subsections of Section 304. The addition modification

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 648 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1        required by this subparagraph shall be reduced to the
2        extent that dividends were included in base income of
3        the unitary group for the same taxable year and
4        received by the taxpayer or by a member of the
5        taxpayer's unitary business group (including amounts
6        included in gross income pursuant to Sections 951
7        through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code and amounts
8        included in gross income under Section 78 of the
9        Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the stock of
10        the same person to whom the interest was paid,

12            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
13                (i) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
14            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person who
15            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
16            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
17            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
18            with respect to such interest; or
19                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
20            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
21            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
22            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
23            following:
24                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
25                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
26                to a person that is not a related member, and

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 649 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

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

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 650 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
2            Department and such regulations provide methods
3            and standards by which the Department will utilize
4            its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
5            (G-13) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
6        expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
7        computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
8        incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
9        years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
10        foreign person who would be a member of the same
11        unitary business group but for the fact that the
12        foreign person's business activity outside the United
13        States is 80% or more of that person's total business
14        activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
15        December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of
16        the same unitary business group but for the fact that
17        the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
18        from being included in the unitary business group
19        because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
20        business income under different subsections of Section
21        304. The addition modification required by this
22        subparagraph shall be reduced to the extent that
23        dividends were included in base income of the unitary
24        group for the same taxable year and received by the
25        taxpayer or by a member of the taxpayer's unitary
26        business group (including amounts included in gross

1        income pursuant to Sections 951 through 964 of the
2        Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross
3        income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
4        with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
5        the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
6        indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
7        sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
8        dividends caused a reduction to the addition
9        modification required under Section 203(c)(2)(G-12) of
10        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
11        "intangible expenses and costs" includes: (1)
12        expenses, losses, and costs for or related to the
13        direct or indirect acquisition, use, maintenance or
14        management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
15        disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
16        incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
17        transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,
18        patent, technical, and copyright fees; (4) licensing
19        fees; and (5) other similar expenses and costs. For
20        purposes of this subparagraph, "intangible property"
21        includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
22        trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,
23        trade secrets, and similar types of intangible assets.
24            This paragraph shall not apply to the following:
25                (i) any item of intangible expenses or costs
26            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 652 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1            indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
2            is subject in a foreign country or state, other
3            than a state which requires mandatory unitary
4            reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
5            with respect to such item; or
6                (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
7            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
8            indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
9            on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
10            following:
11                    (a) the person during the same taxable
12                year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
13                intangible expense or cost to a person that is
14                not a related member, and
15                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
16                intangible expense or cost between the
17                taxpayer and the person did not have as a
18                principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
19                income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
20                or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
21                or
22                (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
23            paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
24            indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
25            the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
26            evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 653 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1            or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
2            writing to the application or use of an
3            alternative method of apportionment under Section
4            304(f);
5                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6            Director from making any other adjustment
7            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
8            for any tax year beginning after the effective
9            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
10            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
11            Department and such regulations provide methods
12            and standards by which the Department will utilize
13            its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
14            (G-14) For taxable years ending on or after
15        December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of
16        insurance premium expenses and costs otherwise allowed
17        as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
18        paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
19        a person who would be a member of the same unitary
20        business group but for the fact that the person is
21        prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
22        included in the unitary business group because he or
23        she is ordinarily required to apportion business
24        income under different subsections of Section 304. The
25        addition modification required by this subparagraph
26        shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 654 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1        included in base income of the unitary group for the
2        same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
3        member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
4        (including amounts included in gross income under
5        Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
6        and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
7        of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the
8        stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
9        were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or
10        accrued. The preceding sentence does not apply to the
11        extent that the same dividends caused a reduction to
12        the addition modification required under Section
13        203(c)(2)(G-12) or Section 203(c)(2)(G-13) of this
14        Act;
15            (G-15) An amount equal to the credit allowable to
16        the taxpayer under Section 218(a) of this Act,
17        determined without regard to Section 218(c) of this
18        Act;

20        December 31, 2017, an amount equal to the deduction
21        allowed under Section 199 of the Internal Revenue Code
22        for the taxable year;
23    and by deducting from the total so obtained the sum of the
24    following amounts:
25            (H) An amount equal to all amounts included in
26        such total pursuant to the provisions of Sections

9        adopted pursuant thereto;
10            (I) The valuation limitation amount;
11            (J) An amount equal to the amount of any tax
12        imposed by this Act which was refunded to the taxpayer

18        statutes or Constitution or by reason of the
19        Constitution, treaties or statutes of the United
20        States; provided that, in the case of any statute of
21        this State that exempts income derived from bonds or
22        other obligations from the tax imposed under this Act,
23        the amount exempted shall be the interest net of bond
24        premium amortization;
25            (L) With the exception of any amounts subtracted

14            with respect to such interest; or
15                (ii) an item of interest paid, accrued, or
16            incurred, directly or indirectly, to a person if
17            the taxpayer can establish, based on a
18            preponderance of the evidence, both of the
19            following:
20                    (a) the person, during the same taxable
21                year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
22                to a person that is not a related member, and
23                    (b) the transaction giving rise to the
24                interest expense between the taxpayer and the
25                person did not have as a principal purpose the
26                avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid

2                reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
3                terms; or
4                (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
5            clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
6            paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
7            or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
8            and terms and the principal purpose for the
9            payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
10            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
21            for any tax year beginning after the effective
22            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
23            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
24            Department and such regulations provide methods
25            and standards by which the Department will utilize
26            its authority under Section 404 of this Act; and

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
24        Internal Revenue Code and amounts included in gross

6        this Act. As used in this subparagraph, the term
7        "intangible expenses and costs" includes (1) expenses,

1            with respect 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
21            the 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
25            alternative method of apportionment under Section
26            304(f);

1                Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
2            Director from making any other adjustment
3            otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
4            for any tax year beginning after the effective
5            date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
6            made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
7            Department and such regulations provide methods
8            and standards by which the Department will utilize

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

4        stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
5        were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or

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

10200HB2499sam003- 686 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

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

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

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 688 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

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

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 689 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

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

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 690 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1        the property for federal income tax purposes for the
2        taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
3        that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
4        property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
5        full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
6        period for the property.
7            (C) The Department shall prescribe such
8        regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
9        purposes of this paragraph.
 
10    (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
11otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
12to be deducted more than once.
 
13    (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
14this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
15the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
16account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
17taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable
18year, or in the amount of such items entering into the
19computation of base income and net income under this Act for
20such taxable year, whether in respect of property values as of
21August 1, 1969 or otherwise.

23Illinois are experiencing concentrated and perpetual firearm
24violence that is a public health epidemic.
25    (2) Within neighborhoods experiencing this firearm

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 816 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1violence epidemic, violence is concentrated among teens and
2young adults that have chronic exposure to the risk of
3violence and criminal legal system involvement and related
4trauma in small geographic areas where these young people live
5or congregate.
6    (3) Firearm violence victimization and perpetration is
7highly concentrated in particular neighborhoods, particular
8blocks within these neighborhoods, and among a small number of
9individuals living in these areas.
10    (4) People who are chronically exposed to the risk of
11firearm violence victimization are substantially more likely
12to be violently injured or violently injure another person.
13People who have been violently injured are substantially more
14likely to be violently reinjured. Chronic exposure to violence
15additionally leads individuals to engage in behavior, as part
16of a cycle of community violence, trauma, and retaliation that
17substantially increases their own risk of violent injury or
18reinjury.
19    (5) Evidence-based programs that engage individuals at the
20highest risk of firearm violence and provide life
21stabilization, case management, and culturally competent group
22and individual therapy reduce firearm violence victimization
23and perpetration and can end Illinois' firearm violence
24epidemic.
25    (6) A public health approach to ending Illinois' firearm
26violence epidemic requires targeted, integrated behavioral

 

 

10200HB2499sam003- 817 -LRB102 12818 JWD 27438 a

1health services and economic opportunity that promotes
2self-sufficiency for victims of firearm violence and those
3with chronic exposure to the risk of firearm violence
4victimization.
5    (7) A public health approach to ending Illinois' firearm
6violence epidemic further requires broader preventive
7investments in the census tracts and blocks that reduce risk
8factors for youth and families living with extreme risk of
9firearm violence victimization.
10    (8) A public health approach to ending Illinois' firearm
11violence epidemic requires empowering residents and
12community-based organizations within impacted neighborhoods to
13provide culturally competent care based on lived experience in
14these areas and long-term relationships of mutual interest
15that promote safety and stability.
16    (9) A public health approach to ending Illinois' firearm
17violence epidemic further requires that preventive youth
18development services for youth in these neighborhoods be fully
19integrated with a team-based model of mental health care to
20address trauma recovery for those young people at extreme risk
21of firearm violence victimization.
22    (10) Community revitalization can be an effective violence
23prevention strategy, provided that revitalization is targeted
24to the highest risk geographies within communities and
25revitalization efforts are designed and led by individuals
26living and working in the impacted communities.
