Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Illinois Public Health and Safety Animal Population Control Act. Requires the Department of Public Health to develop and administer a program of reimbursements to veterinarians for the sterilization and rabies vaccination of the dogs and cats of low-income owners and feral cat colony caretakers. Requires a co-payment by the owner or feral cat colony caretaker. Funds the program through a voluntary individual income tax checkoff and a $3 fee on each rabies vaccination required by the Animal Control Act. Authorizes administrative fines for violations of the program. Amends the State Finance Act to create the necessary special fund within the State treasury and amends the Illinois Income Tax Act to establish the checkoff. Amends the Animal Control Act. Requires (now, authorizes) a county board to require the registration of dogs and cats. Imposes a $100 fine for failure to register. Requires that the fine be divided between the local animal control fund and the Illinois Public Health and Safety Animal Population Control Fund. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
30 ILCS 805/8.29 new

Deletes everything. Reinserts the bill with the following changes: Provides that the bill may be referred to as the Anna Cieslewicz Act. In the new Act, exempts farm dogs from the requirement that they be registered and that a fee be collected upon their registration. Requires the Department of Public Health to award grants to counties and municipalities that offer sterilization services. Requires that 20% of the special fund be set aside for those grants. In the Animal Control Act, removes the requirement that a county board require registration of dogs and cats. Exempts farm dogs from any registration required by a county. Removes the change to the State Mandates Act.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Repeals the new Act December 31, 2012. Makes conforming changes in the amendatory provisions of the other Acts.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note (H-AM 1&2) (Dept. of Commerce and Econ Opportunity)
 In the opinion of DCEO, House Bill 315 (H-AM 1 & 2) creates a service mandate for which 50%-100% of the increased costs to units of local government is required under the State Mandates Act.

 Fiscal Note (Department of Public Health)
 The estimated full year fiscal impact of House Bill 315 is approximately $226,000. These costs are related to the implementation activities of the Illinois Department of Public Health and the development of a database to track compliance at the local level, accept receipts from the newly created funds and provide reimbursement for local veterinarians providing services.

 Fiscal Note (Illinois Department of Revenue)
 There are currently nine tax checkoffs on the IL-1040 tax form. The IL-1040 could accommodate ten tax checkoffs before the Department of Revenue would have to expand it to include a separate schedule for tax checkoffs. If a tax checkoff does not collect at least $100,000 by October 1, it is dropped from the form for the following year. If the number of tax checkoffs added this year plus the number of existing checkoffs that remain on the form for next year is greater than ten, the Department of Revenue would have to expand the IL-1040 to include a schedule for the tax checkoffs, which would cost the Department of Revenue approximately $40,000 per year.
