21    the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
22    service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
23    additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
24    property placed in service during the taxable year,
25    provided such property is placed in service on or after
26    July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 14 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

1    Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
2    year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
3    filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
4    Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
5    met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
6    which they file employment records with the Illinois
7    Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
8    this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
9    Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
10    law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
11    increase in base employment within Illinois over the
12    preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
13    be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
14    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
15    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
16    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
17    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
18    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
19    other than the year in which the property was placed in
20    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
21    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
22    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
23    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
24    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
25    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
26    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 15 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

1    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
2    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
3    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
4    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
5    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
6    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
7    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
8    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
9    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
10    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
11    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
12    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
13    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
14    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
15    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
16    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
17    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
18    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
19    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
20    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
21    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
22    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
23    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
24    shall be applied first.
25        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
26    which:

2        buildings and structural components of buildings and
3        signs that are real property, but not including land or
4        improvements to real property that are not a structural
5        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
6        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
7        other appurtenances;
8            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
9        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
10        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
11        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
12        (e);
13            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
14        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
15            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
16        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
17        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
18        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
19        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
20        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
21            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
22        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
23        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
24        subsection (f).

1    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
2    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
3    assembling which changes some existing material into new
4    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
5    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
6    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
7    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
8    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
9    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
10    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
11    personal property for use or consumption and not for
12    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
13    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
14    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
15    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
16    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
17    electricity.
18        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
19    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
20    income tax purposes.
21        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
22    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
23    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
24    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
25    date of such increase in basis.
26        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 18 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

3    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
4    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
5    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
6    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
7    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
8    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
9    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
10    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
11    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
12    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
13    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
14    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
15    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
16    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
17    property to the extent of such reduction.
18        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
19    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
20    incurred after December 31, 2013, except for costs incurred
21    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
22    December 31, 2013.

1    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
2    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
3    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
4    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
5    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
6    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
7    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
8    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
9    taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
10    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
11    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
12    shall be irrevocable.
13        For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
14    a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
15    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
16    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
17    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
18    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
19    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
20    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
21    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
22    corporation, determined in accordance with the
23    determination of income and distributive share of income
24    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal

16    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704

1    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
2    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
3    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
4    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
5    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be

11            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
12        buildings and structural components of buildings;
13            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

16        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
17        (f);
18            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

13    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
14    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
15    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
16    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
17    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
18    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
19    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
20    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
21    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
22    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
23    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
24    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
25    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
26    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified

2        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
3    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
4    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
5    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
6    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
7    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over

8    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
9    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from

18year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
19unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
20as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
21taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
22first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
23prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
24ending on or after December 31, 2003, and no credit may be
25carried forward to any taxable year ending on or after January

1    If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
22 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
3year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
4given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
5remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
6applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
7liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
8credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
9following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
10that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
11than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
12credit is given was incurred.
13    No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the

19    credit against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
20    of this Section for certain amounts paid for unreimbursed
21    eligible remediation costs, as specified in this
22    subsection. For purposes of this Section, "unreimbursed
23    eligible remediation costs" means costs approved by the
24    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Agency") under
25    Section 58.14 of the Environmental Protection Act that were
26    paid in performing environmental remediation at a site for

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 35 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

1    which a No Further Remediation Letter was issued by the
2    Agency and recorded under Section 58.10 of the
3    Environmental Protection Act. The credit must be claimed
4    for the taxable year in which Agency approval of the
5    eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit is not
6    available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
7    party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
8    release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
9    that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
10    pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the
11    Environmental Protection Act. After the Pollution Control
12    Board rules are adopted pursuant to the Illinois
13    Administrative Procedure Act for the administration and
14    enforcement of Section 58.9 of the Environmental
15    Protection Act, determinations as to credit availability
16    for purposes of this Section shall be made consistent with
17    those rules. For purposes of this Section, "taxpayer"
18    includes a person whose tax attributes the taxpayer has
19    succeeded to under Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code
20    and "related party" includes the persons disallowed a
21    deduction for losses by paragraphs (b), (c), and (f)(1) of
22    Section 267 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being
23    a related taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The
24    credit allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a)
25    and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
26    remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site, except

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 36 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

1    that the $100,000 threshold shall not apply to any site
2    contained in an enterprise zone as determined by the
3    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
4    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity). The
5    total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
6    a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
7    shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be
8    allowed a credit under this subsection to be determined in
9    accordance with the determination of income and
10    distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704 and
11    subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.
12        (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
13    unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
14    forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
15    for which the credit is first earned until it is used. The
16    term "unused credit" does not include any amounts of
17    unreimbursed eligible remediation costs in excess of the
18    maximum credit per site authorized under paragraph (i).
19    This credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
20    which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
21    subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
22    offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
23    subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
24    this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of
25    all or part of the remediation site for which the credit
26    was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 37 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

1    tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
2    carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the
3    transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in the
4    chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
5    the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
6    assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
7    amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
8    the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
9    taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
10    eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
11        (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
12    shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
13    Environmental Protection Act.

15ending after December 31, 1999, a taxpayer who is the custodian
16of one or more qualifying pupils shall be allowed a credit
17against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this
18Section for qualified education expenses incurred on behalf of
19the qualifying pupils. The credit shall be equal to 25% of
20qualified education expenses, but in no event may the total
21credit under this subsection claimed by a family that is the
22custodian of qualifying pupils exceed $500. In no event shall a
23credit under this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability
24under this Act to less than zero. This subsection is exempt
25from the provisions of Section 250 of this Act.

20    consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution Control
21    Board pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure
22    Act for the administration and enforcement of Section 58.9
23    of the Environmental Protection Act. For purposes of this

19according to the procedures set forth in this Section, to 3% of
20the taxpayer's net income for individuals, trusts, and estates

10a report no later than 30 days after receiving notification of
11the Public Act from the Secretary of State or 60 days after the
12effective date of the Public Act, whichever is earlier. The
13Auditor General shall file the report with the Secretary of
14State and copies with the Governor, the State Treasurer, the
15State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
16Representatives. The report shall indicate: (i) the amount of
17State spending set forth in the applicable Public Act; (ii) the
18total amount of State spending authorized by law for the
19applicable fiscal year as of the date of the report; and (iii)
20whether State spending exceeds the State spending limitation
21set forth in subsection (b). The Auditor General may examine
22multiple Public Acts in one consolidated report, provided that
23each Public Act is examined within the time period mandated by
24this subsection (c). The Auditor General shall issue reports in
25accordance with this Section through June 30, 2015 or the
26effective date of a reduction in the rate of tax imposed by

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 43 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

1subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act pursuant to
2this Section, whichever is earlier.
3    At the request of the Auditor General, each State agency
4shall, without delay, make available to the Auditor General or
5his or her designated representative any record or information
6requested and shall provide for examination or copying all
7records, accounts, papers, reports, vouchers, correspondence,
8books and other documentation in the custody of that agency,
9including information stored in electronic data processing

11prepared under this Section. The Auditor General shall report
12to the Governor each instance in which a State agency fails to
13cooperate promptly and fully with his or her office as required
14by this Section.
15    The Auditor General's report shall not be in the nature of
16a post-audit or examination and shall not lead to the issuance
17of an opinion as that term is defined in generally accepted
18government auditing standards.
19    (d) If the Auditor General reports that State spending has
20exceeded the State spending limitation set forth in subsection
21(b) and if the Governor has not been presented with a bill or
22bills passed by the General Assembly to reduce State spending
23to a level that does not exceed the State spending limitation
24within 45 calendar days of receipt of the Auditor General's
25report, then the Governor may, for the purpose of reducing
26State spending to a level that does not exceed the State

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 44 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

1spending limitation set forth in subsection (b), designate
2amounts to be set aside as a reserve from the amounts
3appropriated from the State general funds for all boards,
4commissions, agencies, institutions, authorities, colleges,
5universities, and bodies politic and corporate of the State,
6but not other constitutional officers, the legislative or
7judicial branch, the office of the Executive Inspector General,
8or the Executive Ethics Commission. Such a designation must be
9made within 15 calendar days after the end of that 45-day
10period. If the Governor designates amounts to be set aside as a
11reserve, the Governor shall give notice of the designation to
12the Auditor General, the State Treasurer, the State
13Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. The
14amounts placed in reserves shall not be transferred, obligated,
15encumbered, expended, or otherwise committed unless so
16authorized by law. Any amount placed in reserves is not State
17spending and shall not be considered when calculating the total
18amount of State spending. Any Public Act authorizing the use of
19amounts placed in reserve by the Governor is considered State
20spending, unless such Public Act authorizes the use of amounts
21placed in reserves in response to a fiscal emergency under
22subsection (g).
23    (e) If the Auditor General reports under subsection (c)
24that State spending has exceeded the State spending limitation
25set forth in subsection (b), then the Auditor General shall

5State spending, if any, (ii) indicate whether the level of
6State spending has changed since the initial report, and (iii)
7indicate whether State spending exceeds the State spending
8limitation. The Auditor General shall file the report with the
9Secretary of State and copies with the Governor, the State
10Treasurer, the State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
11Representatives. If the supplemental report of the Auditor
12General provides that State spending exceeds the State spending
13limitation, then the rate of tax imposed by subsections (a) and
14(b) of Section 201 is reduced as provided in this Section
15beginning on the first day of the first month to occur not less
16than 30 days after issuance of the supplemental report.
17    (f) For any taxable year in which the rates of tax have
18been reduced under this Section, the tax imposed by subsections
19(a) and (b) of Section 201 shall be determined as follows:
20        (1) In the case of an individual, trust, or estate, the
21    tax shall be imposed in an amount equal to the sum of (i)
22    the rate applicable to the taxpayer under subsection (b) of
23    Section 201 (without regard to the provisions of this
24    Section) times the taxpayer's net income for any portion of
25    the taxable year prior to the effective date of the
26    reduction and (ii) 3% of the taxpayer's net income for any

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 46 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

1    portion of the taxable year on or after the effective date
2    of the reduction.
3        (2) In the case of a corporation, the tax shall be
4    imposed in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the rate
5    applicable to the taxpayer under subsection (b) of Section
6    201 (without regard to the provisions of this Section)
7    times the taxpayer's net income for any portion of the
8    taxable year prior to the effective date of the reduction
9    and (ii) 4.8% of the taxpayer's net income for any portion
10    of the taxable year on or after the effective date of the
11    reduction.
12        (3) For any taxpayer for whom the rate has been reduced
13    under this Section for a portion of a taxable year, the
14    taxpayer shall determine the net income for each portion of
15    the taxable year following the rules set forth in Section
16    202.5 of this Act, using the effective date of the rate
17    reduction rather than the January 1 dates found in that
18    Section, and the day before the effective date of the rate
19    reduction rather than the December 31 dates found in that
20    Section.
21        (4) If the rate applicable to the taxpayer under
22    subsection (b) of Section 201 (without regard to the
23    provisions of this Section) changes during a portion of the
24    taxable year to which that rate is applied under paragraphs
25    (1) or (2) of this subsection (f), the tax for that portion
26    of the taxable year for purposes of paragraph (1) or (2) of

 

 

09600SB2505ham003- 47 -LRB096 16340 HLH 44944 a

1    this subsection (f) shall be determined as if that portion
2    of the taxable year were a separate taxable year, following
3    the rules set forth in Section 202.5 of this Act. If the
4    taxpayer elects to follow the rules set forth in subsection
5    (b) of Section 202.5, the taxpayer shall follow the rules
6    set forth in subsection (b) of Section 202.5 for all
7    purposes of this Section for that taxable year.
8    (g) Notwithstanding the State spending limitation set
9forth in subsection (b) of this Section, the Governor may
10declare a fiscal emergency by filing a declaration with the
11Secretary of State and copies with the State Treasurer, the
12State Comptroller, the Senate, and the House of
13Representatives. The declaration must be limited to only one
14State fiscal year, set forth compelling reasons for declaring a
15fiscal emergency, and request a specific dollar amount. Unless,
16within 10 calendar days of receipt of the Governor's
17declaration, the State Comptroller or State Treasurer notifies
18the Senate and the House of Representatives that he or she does
19not concur in the Governor's declaration, State spending
20authorized by law to address the fiscal emergency in an amount
21no greater than the dollar amount specified in the declaration
22shall not be considered "State spending" for purposes of the
23State spending limitation.

1after December 31 of the preceding year, net income for the
2period after December 31 of the preceding year, is that amount

5this Act but for that exclusion, and the denominator of which
6is the total amount of discharge of indebtedness income
7excluded from gross income under Section 108(a) of the Internal
8Revenue Code for the taxable year. The reduction required under
9this subsection (c) shall be made after the determination of
