13 Sections that have been added or amended by more than one
14 Public Act. In certain cases in which a repealed Act or Section
15 has been replaced with a successor law, this Act may
16 incorporate amendments to the repealed Act or Section into the
17 successor law. This Act also corrects errors, revises
18 cross-references, and deletes obsolete text.
19 (c) In this Act, the reference at the end of each amended

4 (a) Task Force members shall recommend that agencies and
5 organizations guarantee access to mental health and wellness
6 services, including, but not limited to, peer support programs
7 and providing ongoing education related to the ever-evolving
8 concept of mental health wellness. These recommendations could
9 be accomplished by:
10 (1) Revising agencies' and organizations' employee
11 assistance programs (EAPs).
12 (2) Urging health care providers to replace outdated
13 healthcare plans and include more progressive options
14 catering to the needs and disproportionate risks
15 shouldered by our first responders.
16 (3) Allocating funding or resources for public service
17 announcements (PSA) and messaging campaigns aimed at
18 raising awareness of available assistance options.
19 (4) Encouraging agencies and organizations to attach
20 lists of all available resources to training manuals and
21 continuing education requirements.
22 (b) Task Force members shall recommend agencies and

25 depressive disorders, early detection, and mitigation best
SB2394 Enrolled - 70 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 practices. Such trainings could be accomplished by:
2 (1) Assigning, appointing, or designating one member
3 of an agency or organization to attend specialized
4 training(s) sponsored by an accredited agency,
5 association, or organization recognized in their fields of
6 study.
7 (2) Seeking sponsorships or conducting fund-raisers,
8 to host annual or semiannual on-site visits from qualified
9 clinicians or physicians to provide early detection
10 training techniques, or to provide regular access to
11 mental health professionals.
12 (3) Requiring a minimum number of hours of disorders
13 and wellness training be incorporated into reoccurring,
14 annual or biannual training standards, examinations, and
15 curriculums, taking into close consideration respective
16 agency or organization size, frequency, and number of all
17 current federal and state mandatory examinations and
18 trainings expected respectively.
19 (4) Not underestimating the crucial importance of a
20 balanced diet, sleep, mindfulness-based stress reduction
21 techniques, moderate and vigorous intensity activities,
22 and recreational hobbies, which have been scientifically
23 proven to play a major role in brain health and mental
24 wellness.
25 (c) Task Force members shall recommend that administrators
26 and leadership personnel solicit training services from
SB2394 Enrolled - 71 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

4 exploits, such as PTSD, substance abuse, and chronic state of
5 duress. Task Force members shall further recommend funding for
6 expansion and messaging campaigns of preliminary
7 self-diagnosing technologies like the one described above.
8 These objectives could be met by:
9 (1) Contacting an accredited agency, association, or
10 organization recognized in the field or fields of specific
11 study. Unbeknownst to the majority, many of the agencies
12 and organizations listed above receive grants and
13 allocations to assist communities with the very issues
14 being discussed in this Section.
15 (2) Normalizing help-seeking behaviors for both first
16 responders and their families through regular messaging
17 and peer support outreach, beginning with academy
18 curricula and continuing education throughout individuals'
19 careers.

21 provide clear and concise calls to action about mental
22 health and wellness, resiliency, help-seeking, treatment,
23 and recovery.
24 (4) Promoting and raising awareness of not-for-profit

17 substance abuse, and early detection techniques training,
18 taking into close consideration respective agency or
19 organization size, and the frequency and number of all
20 current federal and state mandatory examinations and
21 trainings expected respectively.
22 (2) Continuing to allocate or match federal and state
23 funds to maintain Mobile Training Units (MTUs).
24 (3) Incorporating a state certificate for peer support

4 with topics ranging from clinical social work, clinical
5 psychology, clinical behaviorist, and clinical psychiatry.
6 (4) Incorporating and performing statewide mental
7 health check-ins during the same times as already mandated
8 trainings. These checks are not to be compared or used as
9 measures of fitness for duty evaluations or structured

1 Article 29 as follows:
2 (10 ILCS 5/16-3) (from Ch. 46, par. 16-3)
3 Sec. 16-3. (a) The names of all candidates to be voted for
4 in each election district or precinct shall be printed on one
5 ballot, except as is provided in Sections 16-6, 16-6.1, and
6 21-1.01 of this Code and except as otherwise provided in this
7 Code with respect to the odd year regular elections and the
8 emergency referenda. The lettering of candidate names on a
9 ballot shall be in both capital and lowercase letters in
10 conformance with standard English language guidelines, unless
11 compliance is not feasible due to the election system utilized
12 by the election authority. All nominations of any political
13 party shall be placed under the party appellation or title of
14 such party as designated in the certificates of nomination or
15 petitions. The names of all independent candidates shall be
16 printed upon the ballot in a column or columns under the
17 heading "independent" arranged under the names or titles of
18 the respective offices for which such independent candidates
19 shall have been nominated and so far as practicable, the name
20 or names of any independent candidate or candidates for any
21 office shall be printed upon the ballot opposite the name or
22 names of any candidate or candidates for the same office
23 contained in any party column or columns upon said ballot. The
24 ballot shall contain no other names, except that in cases of
25 electors for President and Vice-President of the United
SB2394 Enrolled - 75 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 Vice-President may be added to the party designation and words
3 calculated to aid the voter in his choice of candidates may be
4 added, such as "Vote for one," or "Vote for not more than
5 three"." If no candidate or candidates file for an office and
6 if no person or persons file a declaration as a write-in
7 candidate for that office, then below the title of that office
8 the election authority instead shall print "No Candidate".
9 When an electronic voting system is used which utilizes a
10 ballot label booklet, the candidates and questions shall
11 appear on the pages of such booklet in the order provided by
12 this Code; and, in any case where candidates for an office
13 appear on a page which does not contain the name of any
14 candidate for another office, and where less than 50% of the
15 page is utilized, the name of no candidate shall be printed on
16 the lowest 25% of such page. On the back or outside of the
17 ballot, so as to appear when folded, shall be printed the words
18 "Official Ballot", followed by the designation of the polling
19 place for which the ballot is prepared, the date of the
20 election and a facsimile of the signature of the election
21 authority who has caused the ballots to be printed. The
22 ballots shall be of plain white paper, through which the

24 at the nonpartisan and consolidated elections may be printed
25 on different color paper, except blue paper, whenever
26 necessary or desirable to facilitate distinguishing between
SB2394 Enrolled - 76 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 ballots for different political subdivisions. In the case of
2 nonpartisan elections for officers of a political subdivision,
3 unless the statute or an ordinance adopted pursuant to Article
4 VII of the Constitution providing the form of government
5 therefor requires otherwise, the column listing such
6 nonpartisan candidates shall be printed with no appellation or
7 circle at its head. The party appellation or title, or the word
8 "independent" at the head of any column provided for
9 independent candidates, shall be printed in letters not less
10 than one-fourth of an inch in height and a circle one-half inch
11 in diameter shall be printed at the beginning of the line in
12 which such appellation or title is printed, provided, however,
13 that no such circle shall be printed at the head of any column
14 or columns provided for such independent candidates. The names
15 of candidates shall be printed in letters not less than
16 one-eighth nor more than one-fourth of an inch in height, and
17 at the beginning of each line in which a name of a candidate is
18 printed a square shall be printed, the sides of which shall be
19 not less than one-fourth of an inch in length. However, the
20 names of the candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
21 on the same ticket shall be printed within a bracket and a
22 single square shall be printed in front of the bracket. The
23 list of candidates of the several parties and any such list of
24 independent candidates shall be placed in separate columns on
25 the ballot in such order as the election authorities charged
26 with the printing of the ballots shall decide; provided, that
SB2394 Enrolled - 77 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the names of the candidates of the several political parties,
2 certified by the State Board of Elections to the several
3 county clerks shall be printed by the county clerk of the
4 proper county on the official ballot in the order certified by
5 the State Board of Elections. Any county clerk refusing,
6 neglecting or failing to print on the official ballot the
7 names of candidates of the several political parties in the
8 order certified by the State Board of Elections, and any
9 county clerk who prints or causes to be printed upon the
10 official ballot the name of a candidate, for an office to be
11 filled by the Electors of the entire State, whose name has not
12 been duly certified to him upon a certificate signed by the
13 State Board of Elections shall be guilty of a Class C
14 misdemeanor.
15 (b) When an electronic voting system is used which
16 utilizes a ballot card, on the inside flap of each ballot card
17 envelope there shall be printed a form for write-in voting
18 which shall be substantially as follows:
19 WRITE-IN VOTES
20 (See card of instructions for specific information.
21 Duplicate form below by hand for additional write-in votes.)
22 .............................
23 Title of Office

25 Name of Candidate
26 Write-in lines equal to the number of candidates for which
SB2394 Enrolled - 78 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 a voter may vote shall be printed for an office only if one or
2 more persons filed declarations of intent to be write-in
3 candidates or qualify to file declarations to be write-in
4 candidates under Sections 17-16.1 and 18-9.1 when the
5 certification of ballot contains the words "OBJECTION
6 PENDING".
7 (c) When an electronic voting system is used which uses a
8 ballot sheet, the instructions to voters on the ballot sheet
9 shall refer the voter to the card of instructions for specific
10 information on write-in voting. Below each office appearing on
11 such ballot sheet there shall be a provision for the casting of
12 a write-in vote. Write-in lines equal to the number of
13 candidates for which a voter may vote shall be printed for an
14 office only if one or more persons filed declarations of
15 intent to be write-in candidates or qualify to file
16 declarations to be write-in candidates under Sections 17-16.1
17 and 18-9.1 when the certification of ballot contains the words
18 "OBJECTION PENDING".
19 (d) When such electronic system is used, there shall be
20 printed on the back of each ballot card, each ballot card
21 envelope, and the first page of the ballot label when a ballot
22 label is used, the words "Official Ballot," followed by the
23 number of the precinct or other precinct identification, which
24 may be stamped, in lieu thereof and, as applicable, the number
25 and name of the township, ward or other election district for
26 which the ballot card, ballot card envelope, and ballot label
SB2394 Enrolled - 79 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 are prepared, the date of the election and a facsimile of the
2 signature of the election authority who has caused the ballots
3 to be printed. The back of the ballot card shall also include a
4 method of identifying the ballot configuration such as a
5 listing of the political subdivisions and districts for which
6 votes may be cast on that ballot, or a number code identifying
7 the ballot configuration or color coded ballots, except that
8 where there is only one ballot configuration in a precinct,
9 the precinct identification, and any applicable ward
10 identification, shall be sufficient. Ballot card envelopes
11 used in punch card systems shall be of paper through which no
12 writing or punches may be discerned and shall be of sufficient
13 length to enclose all voting positions. However, the election
14 authority may provide ballot card envelopes on which no
15 precinct number or township, ward or other election district
16 designation, or election date are preprinted, if space and a
17 preprinted form are provided below the space provided for the
18 names of write-in candidates where such information may be
19 entered by the judges of election. Whenever an election
20 authority utilizes ballot card envelopes on which the election
21 date and precinct is not preprinted, a judge of election shall
22 mark such information for the particular precinct and election
23 on the envelope in ink before tallying and counting any
24 write-in vote written thereon. If some method of insuring
25 ballot secrecy other than an envelope is used, such
26 information must be provided on the ballot itself.
SB2394 Enrolled - 80 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (e) In the designation of the name of a candidate on the
2 ballot, the candidate's given name or names, initial or
3 initials, a nickname by which the candidate is commonly known,
4 or a combination thereof, may be used in addition to the
5 candidate's surname. If a candidate has changed his or her
6 name, whether by a statutory or common law procedure in
7 Illinois or any other jurisdiction, within 3 years before the
8 last day for filing the petition for nomination, nomination
9 papers, or certificate of nomination for that office,
10 whichever is applicable, then (i) the candidate's name on the
11 ballot must be followed by "formerly known as (list all prior
12 names during the 3-year period) until name changed on (list
13 date of each such name change)" and (ii) the petition, papers,
14 or certificate must be accompanied by the candidate's
15 affidavit stating the candidate's previous names during the
16 period specified in (i) and the date or dates each of those
17 names was changed; failure to meet these requirements shall be
18 grounds for denying certification of the candidate's name for
19 the ballot or removing the candidate's name from the ballot,
20 as appropriate, but these requirements do not apply to name
21 changes resulting from adoption to assume an adoptive parent's
22 or parents' surname, marriage or civil union to assume a
23 spouse's surname, or dissolution of marriage or civil union or
24 declaration of invalidity of marriage or civil union to assume
25 a former surname or a name change that conforms the
26 candidate's name to his or her gender identity. No other
SB2394 Enrolled - 81 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 designation such as a political slogan, title, or degree or
2 nickname suggesting or implying possession of a title, degree
3 or professional status, or similar information may be used in
4 connection with the candidate's surname. For purposes of this
5 Section, a "political slogan" is defined as any word or words
6 expressing or connoting a position, opinion, or belief that
7 the candidate may espouse, including, but not limited to, any
8 word or words conveying any meaning other than that of the
9 personal identity of the candidate. A candidate may not use a
10 political slogan as part of his or her name on the ballot,
11 notwithstanding that the political slogan may be part of the
12 candidate's name.
13 (f) The State Board of Elections, a local election
14 official, or an election authority shall remove any
15 candidate's name designation from a ballot that is
16 inconsistent with subsection (e) of this Section. In addition,
17 the State Board of Elections, a local election official, or an
18 election authority shall not certify to any election authority
19 any candidate name designation that is inconsistent with
20 subsection (e) of this Section.
21 (g) If the State Board of Elections, a local election
22 official, or an election authority removes a candidate's name
23 designation from a ballot under subsection (f) of this
24 Section, then the aggrieved candidate may seek appropriate
25 relief in circuit court.
26 Where voting machines or electronic voting systems are
SB2394 Enrolled - 82 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 used, the provisions of this Section may be modified as
2 required or authorized by Article 24 or Article 24A, whichever
3 is applicable.

7 representative ballot provided for in Article 8A in cases
8 where that Article is applicable. The judge of election to
9 whom the voter delivers his ballots shall not accept the same
10 unless all of the ballots given to the voter are returned by
11 him. If a voter delivers less than all of the ballots given to
12 him, the judge to whom the same are offered shall advise him in
13 a voice clearly audible to the other judges of election that
14 the voter must return the remainder of the ballots. The
15 statement of the judge to the voter shall clearly express the
16 fact that the voter is not required to vote such remaining
17 ballots but that whether or not he votes them he must fold and
18 deliver them to the judge. In making such statement, the judge
19 of election shall not indicate by word, gesture, or intonation
20 of voice that the unreturned ballots shall be voted in any
21 particular manner. No new voter shall be permitted to enter
22 the voting booth of a voter who has failed to deliver the total
23 number of ballots received by him until such voter has
24 returned to the voting booth pursuant to the judge's request
25 and again quit the booth with all of the ballots required to be

4 ballots into the ballot box but, in the case of an election for
5 Representatives in the General Assembly pursuant to Article
6 8A, the official representative ballot shall be placed in the
7 separate ballot box provided for such purpose. If any voter
8 who has failed to deliver all the ballots received by him
9 refuses to return to the voting booth after being advised by
10 the judge of election as herein provided, the judge shall
11 inform the other judges of such refusal, and thereupon the
12 ballot or ballots returned to the judge shall be deposited
13 into in the ballot box, the voter shall be permitted to depart
14 from the polling place, and a new voter shall be permitted to
15 enter the voting booth.
16 No judge of election shall accept from any voter less than
17 the full number of ballots received by such voter without
18 first advising the voter in the manner above provided of the
19 necessity of returning all of the ballots, nor shall any judge
20 advise such voter in a manner contrary to that which is herein
21 permitted, or in any other manner violate the provisions of
22 this Section section; provided that the acceptance by a judge
23 of election of less than the full number of ballots delivered
24 to a voter who refuses to return to the voting booth after
25 being properly advised by the judge shall not be a violation of
26 this Section section.

3 agreement dividing marital property into equal but separate
4 shares or pursuant to a transfer of the person's interest in a
5 home to his spouse, provided that the spouse's share of the

13 The Department shall, in conjunction with the Department
14 of Public Aid (now Department of Healthcare and Family
15 Services), seek appropriate amendments under Sections 1915 and

18 services under Sections 1915 and 1924 of the Social Security
19 Act to persons who transfer to or for the benefit of a spouse
20 those amounts of income and resources allowed under Section
21 1924 of the Social Security Act. Subject to the approval of
22 such amendments, the Department shall extend the provisions of
23 Section 5-4 of the Illinois Public Aid Code to persons who, but
24 for the provision of home or community-based services, would
25 require the level of care provided in an institution, as is
26 provided for in federal law. Those persons no longer found to
SB2394 Enrolled - 142 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 be eligible for receiving noninstitutional services due to
2 changes in the eligibility criteria shall be given 45 days
3 notice prior to actual termination. Those persons receiving
4 notice of termination may contact the Department and request
5 the determination be appealed at any time during the 45 day
6 notice period. The target population identified for the
7 purposes of this Section are persons age 60 and older with an
8 identified service need. Priority shall be given to those who
9 are at imminent risk of institutionalization. The services
10 shall be provided to eligible persons age 60 and older to the
11 extent that the cost of the services together with the other
12 personal maintenance expenses of the persons are reasonably
13 related to the standards established for care in a group
14 facility appropriate to the person's condition. These
15 noninstitutional non-institutional services, pilot projects,
16 or experimental facilities may be provided as part of or in
17 addition to those authorized by federal law or those funded
18 and administered by the Department of Human Services. The
19 Departments of Human Services, Healthcare and Family Services,
20 Public Health, Veterans' Affairs, and Commerce and Economic
21 Opportunity and other appropriate agencies of State, federal,
22 and local governments shall cooperate with the Department on
23 Aging in the establishment and development of the
24 noninstitutional non-institutional services. The Department
25 shall require an annual audit from all personal assistant and
26 home care aide vendors contracting with the Department under
SB2394 Enrolled - 143 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 this Section. The annual audit shall assure that each audited
2 vendor's procedures are in compliance with Department's
3 financial reporting guidelines requiring an administrative and
4 employee wage and benefits cost split as defined in
5 administrative rules. The audit is a public record under the
6 Freedom of Information Act. The Department shall execute,
7 relative to the nursing home prescreening project, written
8 inter-agency agreements with the Department of Human Services
9 and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, to

12 noninstitutional non-institutional services; and (2) the
13 establishment and development of noninstitutional
14 non-institutional services in areas of the State where they
15 are not currently available or are undeveloped. On and after
16 July 1, 1996, all nursing home prescreenings for individuals
17 60 years of age or older shall be conducted by the Department.
18 As part of the Department on Aging's routine training of
19 case managers and case manager supervisors, the Department may
20 include information on family futures planning for persons who
21 are age 60 or older and who are caregivers of their adult
22 children with developmental disabilities. The content of the
23 training shall be at the Department's discretion.
24 The Department is authorized to establish a system of
25 recipient copayment for services provided under this Section,
26 such copayment to be based upon the recipient's ability to pay
SB2394 Enrolled - 144 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 but in no case to exceed the actual cost of the services
2 provided. Additionally, any portion of a person's income which
3 is equal to or less than the federal poverty standard shall not
4 be considered by the Department in determining the copayment.
5 The level of such copayment shall be adjusted whenever
6 necessary to reflect any change in the officially designated
7 federal poverty standard.
8 The Department, or the Department's authorized
9 representative, may recover the amount of moneys expended for
10 services provided to or in behalf of a person under this
11 Section by a claim against the person's estate or against the
12 estate of the person's surviving spouse, but no recovery may
13 be had until after the death of the surviving spouse, if any,
14 and then only at such time when there is no surviving child who
15 is under age 21 or blind or who has a permanent and total
16 disability. This paragraph, however, shall not bar recovery,
17 at the death of the person, of moneys for services provided to
18 the person or in behalf of the person under this Section to
19 which the person was not entitled; provided that such recovery
20 shall not be enforced against any real estate while it is
21 occupied as a homestead by the surviving spouse or other
22 dependent, if no claims by other creditors have been filed
23 against the estate, or, if such claims have been filed, they
24 remain dormant for failure of prosecution or failure of the
25 claimant to compel administration of the estate for the
26 purpose of payment. This paragraph shall not bar recovery from
SB2394 Enrolled - 145 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the estate of a spouse, under Sections 1915 and 1924 of the
2 Social Security Act and Section 5-4 of the Illinois Public Aid
3 Code, who precedes a person receiving services under this
4 Section in death. All moneys for services paid to or in behalf
5 of the person under this Section shall be claimed for recovery
6 from the deceased spouse's estate. "Homestead", as used in
7 this paragraph, means the dwelling house and contiguous real
8 estate occupied by a surviving spouse or relative, as defined
9 by the rules and regulations of the Department of Healthcare
10 and Family Services, regardless of the value of the property.

20 total monthly service cost maximum allowed for each
21 service; the Department shall develop administrative rules
22 to implement this item (2);
23 (3) ensuring that the participants have the right to
24 choose the services contained in their care plan and to
25 direct how those services are provided, based on

18 assignments in homes other than the client;
19 (7) ensuring that the State may access maximum federal
20 matching funds by seeking approval for the Centers for

25 1, 2013, in order to maximize federal matching funds; this
26 shall include, but not be limited to, modification that

18 incorporated into one's identity.
19 (c) Hair care Haircare plan. Every case plan shall include
20 a hair care plan Haircare Plan for each youth in care that is

11 including how those developments may affect residential
12 communities;
13 (5) trends in industrial zoning across urban,
14 suburban, and rural regions of Illinois;
15 (6) available methodologies to determine the impact of
16 large industrial developments; and
17 (7) outcomes in recent zoning proceedings for large
18 industrial developments or attempts to develop properties
19 for large industrial purposes, including the recent
20 attempt to convert a 101 acre campus in Lake County near

25 Section 110. The Economic Development Area Tax Increment
SB2394 Enrolled - 235 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Allocation Act is amended by changing Section 8 as follows:
2 (20 ILCS 620/8) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 1008)
3 Sec. 8. Issuance of obligations for economic development
4 project costs. Obligations secured by the special tax
5 allocation fund provided for in Section 7 of this Act for an
6 economic development project area may be issued to provide for
7 economic development project costs. Those obligations, when so
8 issued, shall be retired in the manner provided in the
9 ordinance authorizing the issuance of the obligations by the
10 receipts of taxes levied as specified in Section 6 of this Act
11 against the taxable property included in the economic
12 development project area and by other revenue designated or
13 pledged by the municipality. A municipality may in the
14 ordinance pledge all or any part of the funds in and to be
15 deposited in the special tax allocation fund created pursuant
16 to Section 7 of this Act to the payment of the economic
17 development project costs and obligations. Whenever a
18 municipality pledges all of the funds to the credit of a
19 special tax allocation fund to secure obligations issued or to
20 be issued to pay economic development project costs, the
21 municipality may specifically provide that funds remaining to
22 the credit of such special tax allocation fund after the
23 payment of such obligations shall be accounted for annually
24 and shall be deemed to be "surplus" funds, and such "surplus"
25 funds shall be distributed as hereinafter provided. Whenever a
SB2394 Enrolled - 236 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 municipality pledges less than all of the monies to the credit
2 of a special tax allocation fund to secure obligations issued
3 or to be issued to pay economic development project costs, the
4 municipality shall provide that monies to the credit of the
5 special tax allocation fund and not subject to such pledge or
6 otherwise encumbered or required for payment of contractual
7 obligations for specific economic development project costs
8 shall be calculated annually and shall be deemed to be
9 "surplus" funds, and such "surplus" funds shall be distributed
10 as hereinafter provided. All funds to the credit of a special
11 tax allocation fund which are deemed to be "surplus" funds
12 shall be distributed annually within 180 days of the close of
13 the municipality's fiscal year by being paid by the municipal
14 treasurer to the county collector. The county collector shall
15 thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
16 districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
17 distribution by the county collector to those taxing districts
18 of real property taxes from real property in the economic
19 development project area.
20 Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
21 municipality may, in addition to obligations secured by the
22 special tax allocation fund, pledge for a period not greater
23 than the term of the obligations towards payment of those
24 obligations any part or any combination of the following: (i)
25 net revenues of all or part of any economic development
26 project; (ii) taxes levied and collected on any or all
SB2394 Enrolled - 237 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 property in the municipality, including, specifically, taxes
2 levied or imposed by the municipality in a special service
3 area pursuant to "An Act to provide the manner of levying or
4 imposing taxes for the provision of special services to areas
5 within the boundaries of home rule units and non-home rule
6 municipalities and counties", approved September 21, 1973, as
7 now or hereafter amended; (iii) the full faith and credit of
8 the municipality; (iv) a mortgage on part or all of the
9 economic development project; or (v) any other taxes or
10 anticipated receipts that the municipality may lawfully
11 pledge.
12 Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
13 bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
14 authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance,
15 which rate or rates may be variable or fixed, without regard to
16 any limitations contained in any law now in effect or
17 hereafter adopted. Such obligations shall bear such date or
18 dates, mature at such time or times not exceeding 38 years from
19 their respective dates, but in no event exceeding 38 years
20 from the date of establishment of the economic development
21 project area, be in such denomination, be in such form,
22 whether coupon, registered, or book-entry, carry such
23 registration, conversion, and exchange privileges, be executed
24 in such manner, be payable in such medium of payment at such
25 place or places within or without the State of Illinois,
26 contain such covenants, terms, and conditions, be subject to
SB2394 Enrolled - 238 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 redemption with or without premium, be subject to defeasance
2 upon such terms, and have such rank or priority, as such
3 ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant to this
4 Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price as
5 shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the
6 municipalities. Such obligations may, but need not, be issued
7 utilizing the provisions of any one or more of the omnibus bond
8 Acts specified in Section 1.33 of the Statute on Statutes "An
9 Act to revise the law in relation to the construction of the
10 statutes", approved March 5, 1874, as now or hereafter
11 amended. No referendum approval of the electors shall be
12 required as a condition to the issuance of obligations
13 pursuant to this Act except as provided in this Section.
14 Whenever a municipality issues bonds for the purpose of
15 financing economic development project costs, the municipality
16 may provide by ordinance for the appointment of a trustee,
17 which may be any trust company within the State, and for the
18 establishment of the funds or accounts to be maintained by
19 such trustee as the municipality shall deem necessary to
20 provide for the security and payment of the bonds. If the
21 municipality provides for the appointment of a trustee, the
22 trustee shall be considered the assignee of any payments
23 assigned by the municipality pursuant to the ordinance and
24 this Section. Any amounts paid to the trustee as assignee
25 shall be deposited in the funds or accounts established
26 pursuant to the trust agreement, and shall be held by the
SB2394 Enrolled - 239 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 and the holders shall have a lien on and a security interest in
3 those bonds or accounts so long as the bonds remain
4 outstanding and unpaid. Upon retirement of the bonds, the
5 trustee shall pay over any excess amounts held to the
6 municipality for deposit in the special tax allocation fund.
7 In the event the municipality authorizes the issuance of
8 obligations pursuant to the authority of this Act secured by
9 the full faith and credit of the municipality, or pledges ad
10 valorem taxes pursuant to clause (ii) of the second paragraph
11 of this Section, which obligations are other than obligations
12 which may be issued under home rule powers provided by Article
13 VII, Section 6 of the Illinois Constitution or which ad
14 valorem taxes are other than ad valorem taxes which may be
15 pledged under home rule powers provided by Article VII,
16 Section 6 of the Illinois Constitution or which are levied in a
17 special service area pursuant to "An Act to provide the manner
18 of levying or imposing taxes for the provision of special
19 services to areas within the boundaries of home rule units and
20 non-home rule municipalities and counties", approved September
21 21, 1973, as now or hereafter amended, the ordinance
22 authorizing the issuance of those obligations or pledging
23 those taxes shall be published within 10 days after the
24 ordinance has been adopted, in one or more newspapers having a
25 general circulation within the municipality. The publication
26 of the ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of: (1) the
SB2394 Enrolled - 240 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 specific number of voters required to sign a petition
2 requesting the question of the issuance of the obligations or
3 pledging such ad valorem taxes to be submitted to the
4 electors; (2) the time within which the petition must be
5 filed; and (3) the date of the prospective referendum. The
6 municipal clerk shall provide a petition form to any
7 individual requesting one.
8 If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
9 hereinafter provided in this Section, within 21 days after the
10 publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in
11 effect. However, if, within that 21-day 21 day period, a
12 petition is filed with the municipal clerk, signed by electors
13 numbering not less than 15% of the number of electors voting
14 for the mayor or president at the last general municipal
15 election, asking that the question of issuing obligations
16 using full faith and credit of the municipality as security
17 for the cost of paying for economic development project costs,
18 or of pledging such ad valorem taxes for the payment of those

20 municipality, the municipality shall not be authorized to
21 issue obligations of the municipality using the full faith and
22 credit of the municipality as security or pledging such ad
23 valorem taxes for the payment of those obligations, or both,
24 until the proposition has been submitted to and approved by a

26 regularly scheduled election. The municipality shall certify
SB2394 Enrolled - 241 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 submission in accordance with the general election law.
3 The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that
4 the obligations shall contain a recital that they are issued
5 pursuant to this Act, which recital shall be conclusive
6 evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their
7 issuance.
8 In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
9 obligations pursuant to this Act secured by the full faith and
10 credit of the municipality, the ordinance authorizing the
11 obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a
12 direct annual tax upon all taxable property within the
13 municipality sufficient to pay the principal thereof and
14 interest thereon as it matures, which levy may be in addition
15 to and exclusive of the maximum of all other taxes authorized
16 to be levied by the municipality, which levy, however, shall
17 be abated to the extent that monies from other sources are
18 available for payment of the obligations and the municipality
19 certifies the amount of those monies available to the county
20 clerk.
21 A certified copy of the ordinance shall be filed with the
22 county clerk of each county in which any portion of the

3 prior to maturity. However, the last maturity of the refunding
4 obligations shall not be expressed to mature later than 38
5 years from the date of the ordinance establishing the economic
6 development project area.

10 costs, the municipality may, if it has followed the procedures
11 in conformance with this Act, retire those obligations from
12 funds in the special tax allocation fund in amounts and in such
13 manner as if those obligations had been issued pursuant to the
14 provisions of this Act.
15 No obligations issued pursuant to this Act shall be
16 regarded as indebtedness of the municipality issuing those
17 obligations or any other taxing district for the purpose of
18 any limitation imposed by law.
19 Obligations issued pursuant to this Act shall not be

9 (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2026)
10 Sec. 1-75. Off-Hours Child Care Program.
11 (a) Legislative intent. The General Assembly finds that:
12 (1) Finding child care can be a challenge for
13 firefighters, paramedics, police officers, nurses, and
14 other third shift workers across the State who often work
15 non-typical work hours. This can impact home life, school,
16 bedtime routines, job safety, and the mental health of
17 some of our most critical frontline front line workers and
18 their families.
19 (2) There is a need for increased options for
20 off-hours child care in the State. A majority of the
21 State's child care facilities do not provide care outside
22 of normal work hours, with just 3,251 day care homes and
23 435 group day care homes that provide night care.
24 (3) Illinois has a vested interest in ensuring that
SB2394 Enrolled - 269 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 our first responders and working families can provide
2 their children with appropriate care during off hours to
3 improve the morale of existing first responders and to
4 improve recruitment into the future.
5 (b) As used in this Section, "first responders" means
6 emergency medical services personnel as defined in the
7 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act, firefighters,
8 law enforcement officers, and, as determined by the
9 Department, any other workers who, on account of their work
10 schedule, need child care outside of the hours when licensed
11 child care facilities typically operate.
12 (c) Subject to appropriation, the Department of Human
13 Services shall establish and administer an Off-Hours Child
14 Care Program to help first responders and other workers
15 identify and access off-hours, night, or sleep time child
16 care. Services funded under the program must address the child
17 care needs of first responders. Funding provided under the
18 program may also be used to cover any capital and operating
19 expenses related to the provision of off-hours, night, or
20 sleep time child care for first responders. Funding awarded
21 under this Section shall be funded through appropriations from
22 the Off-Hours Child Care Program Fund created under subsection
23 (d). The Department shall implement the program by July 1,
24 2023. The Department may adopt any rules necessary to
25 implement the program.
26 (d) The Off-Hours Child Care Program Fund is created as a
SB2394 Enrolled - 270 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 special fund in the State treasury. The Fund shall consist of
2 any moneys appropriated to the Department of Human Services
3 for the Off-Hours Child Care Program. Moneys in the Fund shall
4 be expended for the Off-Hours Child Care Program and for no
5 other purpose. All interest earned on moneys in the Fund shall
6 be deposited into the Fund.
7 (e) This Section is repealed on July 1, 2026.

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

22 notice of the petition must fully comply with the terms of
23 the order within 60 days of service of the order even if a
24 party is seeking relief from the order through a motion
25 filed under paragraph (12) of this subsection (d) or is

9 in the case of an appeal, the issuance of that court's
10 mandate.

18 Section 190. The Illinois Housing Development Act is
19 amended by changing Section 16 as follows:
20 (20 ILCS 3805/16) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 316)
21 Sec. 16. The notes and bonds issued under this Act shall be
22 authorized by resolution of the members of the Authority,
23 shall bear such date or dates, and shall mature at such time or
SB2394 Enrolled - 394 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 times, in the case of any note, or any renewal thereof, not
2 exceeding 15 years (or such longer time not exceeding 25 years
3 if the Authority shall determine, with respect to notes issued
4 in anticipation of bonds, that a longer maturity date is
5 required in order to assure the ability to issue the bonds),
6 from the date of issue of such original note, and in the case
7 of any bond not exceeding 50 years from the date of issue, as
8 the resolution may provide. The bonds may be issued as serial
9 bonds or as term bonds or as a combination thereof. The notes
10 and bonds shall bear interest at such rate or rates as shall be
11 determined by the members of the Authority by the resolution
12 authorizing issuance of the bonds and notes provided, however,
13 that notes and bonds issued after July 1, 1983, shall bear
14 interest at such rate or rates not exceeding the greater of (i)
15 the maximum rate established in the Bond Authorization Act "An
16 Act to authorize public corporations to issue bonds, other
17 evidences of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants
18 subject to interest rate limitations set forth therein",
19 approved May 26, 1970, as from time to time in effect; (ii) 11%
20 per annum; or (iii) 70% of the prime commercial rate in effect
21 at the time the contract is made. In the event the Authority
22 issues notes or bonds not exempt from income taxation under
23 the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, such notes or
24 bonds shall bear interest at a rate or rates as shall be
25 determined by the members of the Authority by the resolution
26 authorizing issuance of the bonds and notes. Prime commercial
SB2394 Enrolled - 395 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 rate means such prime rate as from time to time is publicly
2 announced by the largest commercial banking institution
3 located in this State, measured in terms of total assets. A
4 contract is made with respect to notes or bonds when the
5 Authority is contractually obligated to issue and sell such
6 notes or bonds to a purchaser who is contractually obligated
7 to purchase them. The notes and bonds shall be in such
8 denominations, be in such form, either coupon or registered,
9 carry such registration privileges, be executed in such
10 manner, be payable in such medium of payment, at such place or
11 places and be subject to such terms of redemption as such
12 resolution or resolutions may provide. The notes and bonds of
13 the Authority may be sold by the Authority, at public or
14 private sale, at such price or prices as the Authority shall
15 determine.
16 In lieu of establishing the rate at which notes or bonds of
17 the Authority shall bear interest and the price at which the
18 notes or bonds shall be sold, the resolution authorizing their
19 issuance may set maximum and minimum prices, interest rates,
20 and annual interest cost to the Authority for that issue of
21 notes or bonds (computed as the resolution shall provide),
22 such that the difference between the maximum and minimum
23 annual interest cost shall not exceed 1% of the principal
24 amount of the notes or bonds. Such a resolution shall
25 authorize any 2 two of the Chairman, Treasurer, or Director
26 (or in the Director's absence, the Deputy Director) to
SB2394 Enrolled - 396 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 establish the actual price and interest rate within the range
2 established by the resolution. In lieu of establishing the
3 dates, maturities, or other terms of the notes or bonds, the
4 resolution authorizing their issuance may authorize any 2 two
5 of the Chairman, Treasurer, or Director (or in the Director's
6 absence, the Deputy Director) to establish such dates,
7 maturities, and other terms within ranges or criteria
8 established by the resolution.
9 In connection with the issuance of its notes and bonds,
10 the Authority may enter into arrangements to provide
11 additional security and liquidity for the notes and bonds.
12 These may include, without limitation, letters of credit,
13 lines of credit by which the Authority may borrow funds to pay
14 or redeem its notes or bonds, and purchase or remarketing
15 arrangements for assuring the ability of owners of the
16 Authority's notes and bonds to sell or to have redeemed their
17 notes and bonds. The Authority may enter into contracts and
18 may agree to pay fees to persons providing such arrangements,
19 but only under circumstances in which the total interest paid
20 or to be paid on the notes or bonds, together with the fees for
21 the arrangements (being treated as if interest), would not,
22 taken together, cause the notes or bonds to bear interest,
23 calculated to their absolute maturity, at a rate in excess of
24 the maximum rate allowed by this Act.
25 The resolution of the Authority authorizing the issuance
26 of its notes or bonds may provide that interest rates may vary
SB2394 Enrolled - 397 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 from time to time depending upon criteria established by the
2 Authority, which may include, without limitation, a variation
3 in interest rates as may be necessary to cause notes or bonds
4 to be remarketable from time to time at a price equal to their
5 principal amount (or compound accredited value in case of
6 original issue discount bonds), and may provide for
7 appointment of a national banking association, bank, trust
8 company, investment bank, or other financial institution to
9 serve as a remarketing agent in that connection. The
10 resolution of the Authority authorizing the issuance of its
11 notes or bonds may provide that alternative interest rates or
12 provisions will apply during such times as the notes or bonds
13 are held by a person providing a letter of credit or other
14 credit enhancement arrangement for those notes or bonds.

24 Sec. 17. Leases and installment contracts.
SB2394 Enrolled - 435 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (a) Interest not debt; debt on leases and installment
2 contracts. Interest on bonds shall not be included in any
3 computation of indebtedness of a governmental unit for the
4 purpose of any statutory provision or limitation. For bonds
5 consisting of leases and installment or financing contracts:,
6 (1) that portion of payments made by a governmental
7 unit under the terms of a bond designated as interest in
8 the bond or the ordinance authorizing such bond shall be
9 treated as interest for purposes of this Section;
10 (2) where portions of payments due under the terms of
11 a bond have not been designated as interest in the bond or
12 the ordinance authorizing such bond, and all or a portion
13 of such payments is to be used for the payment of principal
14 of and interest on other bonds of the governmental unit or
15 bonds issued by another unit of local government, such as
16 a public building commission, the payments equal to
17 interest due on such corresponding bonds shall be treated
18 as interest for purposes of this Section; and
19 (3) where portions of payments due under the terms of
20 a bond have not been designated as interest in the bond or
21 ordinance authorizing such bond and no portion of any such
22 payment is to be used for the payment of principal of and
23 interest on other bonds of the governmental unit or
24 another unit of local government, a portion of each
25 payment due under the terms of such bond shall be treated
26 as interest for purposes of this Section; such portion
SB2394 Enrolled - 436 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall be equal in amount to the interest that would have
2 been paid on a notional obligation of the governmental
3 unit (bearing interest at the highest rate permitted by
4 law for bonds of the governmental unit at the time the bond
5 was issued or, if no such limit existed, 12%) on which the
6 payments of principal and interest were due at the same
7 times and in the same amounts as payments are due under the
8 terms of the bonds.
9 The rule set forth in this Section shall be applicable to
10 all interest no matter when earned or accrued or at what
11 interval paid, and whether or not a bond bears interest which
12 compounds at certain intervals. For purposes of bonds sold at
13 amounts less than 95% of their stated value at maturity,
14 interest for purposes of this Section includes the difference
15 between the amount set forth on the face of the bond as the
16 original principal amount and the bond's stated value at
17 maturity.
18 This subsection may be made applicable to bonds issued
19 prior to the effective date of this Act by passage of an
20 ordinance to such effect by the governing body of a
21 governmental unit.
22 (b) Purchase or lease of property. The governing body of
23 each governmental unit may purchase or lease either real or
24 personal property, including investments, investment
25 agreements, or investment services, through agreements that
26 provide that the consideration for the purchase or lease may
SB2394 Enrolled - 437 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 be paid through installments made at stated intervals for a
2 period of no more than 20 years or another period of time
3 authorized by law, whichever is greater; provided, however,
4 that investments, investment agreements, or investment
5 services purchased in connection with a bond issue may be paid
6 through installments made at stated intervals for a period of
7 time not in excess of the maximum term of such bond issue. Each
8 governmental unit may issue certificates evidencing the
9 indebtedness incurred under the lease or agreement. The
10 governing body may provide for the treasurer, comptroller,
11 finance officer, or other officer of the governing body
12 charged with financial administration to act as counter-party
13 to any such lease or agreement, as nominee lessor or seller.
14 When the lease or agreement is executed by the officer of the
15 governmental unit authorized by the governing body to bind the
16 governmental unit thereon by the execution thereof and is
17 filed with and executed by the nominee lessor or seller, the
18 lease or agreement shall be sufficiently executed so as to
19 permit the governmental unit to issue certificates evidencing
20 the indebtedness incurred under the lease or agreement. The
21 certificates shall be valid whether or not an appropriation
22 with respect thereto is included in any annual or supplemental
23 budget adopted by the governmental unit. From time to time, as
24 the governing body executes contracts for the purpose of
25 acquiring and constructing the services or real or personal
26 property that is a part of the subject of the lease or
SB2394 Enrolled - 438 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 agreement, including financial, legal, architectural, and
2 engineering services related to the lease or agreement, the
3 contracts shall be filed with the nominee officer, and that
4 officer shall identify the contracts to the lease or
5 agreement; that identification shall permit the payment of the
6 contract from the proceeds of the certificates; and the
7 nominee officer shall duly apply or cause to be applied
8 proceeds of the certificates to the payment of the contracts.
9 The governing body of each governmental unit may sell, lease,
10 convey, and reacquire either real or personal property, or any
11 interest in real or personal property, upon any terms and
12 conditions and in any manner, as the governing body shall
13 determine, if the governmental unit will lease, acquire by
14 purchase agreement, or otherwise reacquire the property, as
15 authorized by this subsection or any other applicable law.
16 All indebtedness incurred under this subsection, when
17 aggregated with the existing indebtedness of the governmental
18 unit, may not exceed the debt limits provided by applicable
19 law.

20 pursuant to a master trust indenture ("Master Indenture")

22 of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, such Master
23 Indenture to be in substantially the form approved in the Bond
24 Sale Order authorizing the issuance and sale of the initial
25 series of Bonds issued under this Act. Such initial series of
26 Bonds may, and each subsequent series of Bonds shall, also be
SB2394 Enrolled - 441 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

1 Rate Bonds shall bear interest and the price or prices at which
2 such Variable Rate Bonds shall be initially sold or remarketed
3 (in the event of purchase and subsequent resale), the Bond
4 Sale Order may provide that such interest rates and prices may
5 vary from time to time depending on criteria established in
6 such Bond Sale Order, which criteria may include, without
7 limitation, references to indices or variations in interest
8 rates as may, in the judgment of a remarketing agent, be
9 necessary to cause Bonds of such series to be remarketable
10 from time to time at a price equal to their principal amount
11 (or compound accreted value in the case of original issue
12 discount Bonds), and may provide for appointment of indexing
13 agents and a bank, trust company, investment bank, or other

3 purchase Bonds, thereby assuring the ability of owners of the
4 Bonds to sell or redeem their Bonds. The State may enter into
5 contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such
6 arrangements, but only under circumstances where the Director
7 of the Bureau of the Budget (now Governor's Office of
8 Management and Budget) certifies that he reasonably expects
9 the total interest paid or to be paid on the Bonds, together
10 with the fees for the arrangements (being treated as if
11 interest), would not, taken together, cause the Bonds to bear
12 interest, calculated to their stated maturity, at a rate in
13 excess of the rate which the Bonds would bear in the absence of
14 such arrangements. Any bonds, notes, or other evidences of
15 indebtedness issued pursuant to any such arrangements for the
16 purpose of retiring and discharging outstanding Bonds shall
17 constitute refunding Bonds under Section 15 of this Act. The
18 State may participate in and enter into arrangements with
19 respect to interest rate swaps or guarantees or financial
20 futures contracts for the purpose of limiting or restricting
21 interest rate risk; provided that such arrangements shall be
22 made with or executed through banks having capital and surplus

4 determines that the vendor made good faith efforts, the agency
5 or public institution of higher education may issue a waiver
6 after concurrence by the chief procurement officer, which
7 shall not be unreasonably withheld or impair a State agency
8 determination to execute the renewal. The form and content of
9 the waiver shall be prescribed by each chief procurement
10 officer, but shall not impair a State agency or public
11 institution of higher education determination to execute the
12 renewal. The chief procurement officer shall post the
13 completed form on his or her official website within 5
14 business days after receipt from the State agency or public

6 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
7 following:
8 (a) the person, during the same taxable
9 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
10 to a person that is not a related member, and
11 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
12 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
13 person did not have as a principal purpose the
14 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
15 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
16 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
17 terms; or
18 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
19 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
20 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
21 or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
22 and terms and the principal purpose for the
23 payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
24 or

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

19 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
20 foreign person who would be a member of the same
21 unitary business group but for the fact that the
22 foreign person's business activity outside the United
23 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
24 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
25 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of

1 the person is prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27)
2 from being included in the unitary business group
3 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
4 business income under different subsections of Section
5 304. The addition modification required by this

7 dividends were included in base income of the unitary
8 group for the same taxable year and received by the

13 under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code) with
14 respect to the stock of the same person to whom the
15 intangible expenses and costs were directly or
16 indirectly paid, incurred, or accrued. The preceding
17 sentence does not apply to the extent that the same
18 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
19 modification required under Section 203(a)(2)(D-17) of

4 subparagraph, "intangible property" includes patents,

15 with respect to such item; or
16 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
17 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or

19 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
20 following:
21 (a) the person during the same taxable
22 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
23 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
24 not a related member, and

5 or
6 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
7 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
8 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
9 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
10 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
11 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
12 writing to the application or use of an
13 alternative method of apportionment under Section
14 304(f);
15 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
16 Director from making any other adjustment
17 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act

1 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
2 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
3 a person who would be a member of the same unitary

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

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

21 extent that the same dividends caused a reduction to

5 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
6 following:
7 (a) the person, during the same taxable
8 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
9 to a person that is not a related member, and
10 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
11 interest expense between the taxpayer and the

16 terms; or
17 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
18 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
19 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
20 or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
21 and terms and the principal purpose for the
22 payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
23 or

5 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
6 Director from making any other adjustment
7 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act

17 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
18 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
19 foreign person who would be a member of the same
20 unitary business group but for the fact that the
21 foreign person's business activity outside the United
22 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
23 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
24 December 31, 2008, to a person who would be a member of

1 from being included in the unitary business group
2 because he or she is ordinarily required to apportion
3 business income under different subsections of Section

21 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
22 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
23 not a related member, and
24 (b) the transaction giving rise to the

1 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
2 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
3 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
4 or
5 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
6 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
7 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
8 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
9 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
10 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
11 writing to the application or use of an
12 alternative method of apportionment under Section
13 304(f);
14 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
15 Director from making any other adjustment
16 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
17 for any tax year beginning after the effective
18 date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
19 made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
20 Department and such regulations provide methods
21 and standards by which the Department will utilize
22 its authority under Section 404 of this Act;
23 (E-14) For taxable years ending on or after
24 December 31, 2008, an amount equal to the amount of

1 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
2 a person who would be a member of the same unitary

4 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
5 included in the unitary business group because he or
6 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
7 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
8 addition modification required by this subparagraph
9 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
10 included in base income of the unitary group for the
11 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
12 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
13 (including amounts included in gross income under
14 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
15 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
16 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the
17 stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
18 were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or
19 accrued. The preceding sentence does not apply to the
20 extent that the same dividends caused a reduction to
21 the addition modification required under Section

20 person's total business activity and (ii) for taxable
21 years ending on or after December 31, 2008, to a person
22 who would be a member of the same unitary business
23 group but for the fact that the person is prohibited
24 under Section 1501(a)(27) from being included in the

26 required to apportion business income under different
SB2394 Enrolled - 566 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 subsections of Section 304. The addition modification

24 following:
25 (a) the person, during the same taxable
26 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
SB2394 Enrolled - 567 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 to a person that is not a related member, and
2 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
3 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
4 person did not have as a principal purpose the
5 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
6 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
7 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
8 terms; or
9 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
10 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
11 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
12 or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
13 and terms and the principal purpose for the
14 payment is not federal or Illinois tax avoidance;
15 or

22 of apportionment under Section 304(f).
23 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
24 Director from making any other adjustment

1 date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
2 made pursuant to regulation adopted by the
3 Department and such regulations provide methods

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

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

15 management, ownership, sale, exchange, or any other
16 disposition of intangible property; (2) losses
17 incurred, directly or indirectly, from factoring
18 transactions or discounting transactions; (3) royalty,

22 includes patents, patent applications, trade names,
23 trademarks, service marks, copyrights, mask works,

1 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
2 indirectly, from a transaction with a person who
3 is subject in a foreign country or state, other
4 than a state which requires mandatory unitary
5 reporting, to a tax on or measured by net income
6 with respect to such item; or
7 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
8 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
9 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based
10 on a preponderance of the evidence, both of the
11 following:
12 (a) the person during the same taxable
13 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
14 intangible expense or cost to a person that is
15 not a related member, and
16 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
17 intangible expense or cost between the
18 taxpayer and the person did not have as a
19 principal purpose the avoidance of Illinois
20 income tax, and is paid pursuant to a contract
21 or agreement that reflects arm's-length terms;
22 or
23 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
24 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
25 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
26 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
SB2394 Enrolled - 571 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
2 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
3 writing to the application or use of an
4 alternative method of apportionment under Section
5 304(f);
6 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
7 Director from making any other adjustment
8 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
9 for any tax year beginning after the effective
10 date of this amendment provided such adjustment is
11 made pursuant to regulation adopted by the

18 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
19 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
20 a person who would be a member of the same unitary
21 business group but for the fact that the person is
22 prohibited under Section 1501(a)(27) from being
23 included in the unitary business group because he or
24 she is ordinarily required to apportion business
25 income under different subsections of Section 304. The
26 addition modification required by this subparagraph
SB2394 Enrolled - 572 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall be reduced to the extent that dividends were
2 included in base income of the unitary group for the
3 same taxable year and received by the taxpayer or by a
4 member of the taxpayer's unitary business group
5 (including amounts included in gross income under
6 Sections 951 through 964 of the Internal Revenue Code
7 and amounts included in gross income under Section 78
8 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the
9 stock of the same person to whom the premiums and costs
10 were directly or indirectly paid, incurred, or

15 Act;

7 the taxpayer can establish, based on a
8 preponderance of the evidence, both of the
9 following:
10 (a) the person, during the same taxable
11 year, paid, accrued, or incurred, the interest
12 to a person that is not a related member, and
13 (b) the transaction giving rise to the
14 interest expense between the taxpayer and the
15 person did not have as a principal purpose the
16 avoidance of Illinois income tax, and is paid
17 pursuant to a contract or agreement that
18 reflects an arm's-length interest rate and
19 terms; or
20 (iii) the taxpayer can establish, based on
21 clear and convincing evidence, that the interest
22 paid, accrued, or incurred relates to a contract
23 or agreement entered into at arm's-length rates
24 and terms and the principal purpose for the

15 and standards by which the Department will utilize
16 its authority under Section 404 of this Act; and
17 (D-8) An amount equal to the amount of intangible
18 expenses and costs otherwise allowed as a deduction in
19 computing base income, and that were paid, accrued, or
20 incurred, directly or indirectly, (i) for taxable
21 years ending on or after December 31, 2004, to a
22 foreign person who would be a member of the same
23 unitary business group but for the fact that the
24 foreign person's business activity outside the United
25 States is 80% or more of that person's total business
26 activity and (ii) for taxable years ending on or after
SB2394 Enrolled - 589 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

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

15 income under Section 78 of the Internal Revenue Code)
16 with respect to the stock of the same person to whom
17 the intangible expenses and costs were directly or
18 indirectly paid, incurred or accrued. The preceding
19 sentence shall not apply to the extent that the same
20 dividends caused a reduction to the addition
21 modification required under Section 203(d)(2)(D-7) of

17 with respect to such item; or
18 (ii) any item of intangible expense or cost
19 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
20 indirectly, if the taxpayer can establish, based

24 year paid, accrued, or incurred, the
25 intangible expense or cost to a person that is

7 or
8 (iii) any item of intangible expense or cost
9 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or
10 indirectly, from a transaction with a person if
11 the taxpayer establishes by clear and convincing
12 evidence, that the adjustments are unreasonable;
13 or if the taxpayer and the Director agree in
14 writing to the application or use of an
15 alternative method of apportionment under Section
16 304(f);
17 Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the
18 Director from making any other adjustment
19 otherwise allowed under Section 404 of this Act
20 for any tax year beginning after the effective
21 date of this amendment provided such adjustment is

3 as a deduction in computing base income, and that were
4 paid, accrued, or incurred, directly or indirectly, to
5 a person who would be a member of the same unitary

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

11 (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) for corporations or
12 subparagraph (E) of paragraph (2) of subsection (c) for
13 trusts and estates, exceed subtraction modifications, an

17 (E) Consolidated corporations. In the case of a
18 corporation which is a member of an affiliated group
19 of corporations filing a consolidated income tax
20 return for the taxable year for federal income tax
21 purposes, taxable income determined as if such
22 corporation had filed a separate return for federal
23 income tax purposes for the taxable year and each
24 preceding taxable year for which it was a member of an
25 affiliated group. For purposes of this subparagraph,
26 the taxpayer's separate taxable income shall be

1 determined as if the election provided by Section
2 243(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code had been in

4 (F) Cooperatives. In the case of a cooperative
5 corporation or association, the taxable income of such
6 organization determined in accordance with the
7 provisions of Section 1381 through 1388 of the
8 Internal Revenue Code, but without regard to the
9 prohibition against offsetting losses from patronage
10 activities against income from nonpatronage
11 activities; except that a cooperative corporation or
12 association may make an election to follow its federal
13 income tax treatment of patronage losses and
14 nonpatronage losses. In the event such election is
15 made, such losses shall be computed and carried over
16 in a manner consistent with subsection (a) of Section
17 207 of this Act and apportioned by the apportionment
18 factor reported by the cooperative on its Illinois
19 income tax return filed for the taxable year in which
20 the losses are incurred. The election shall be
21 effective for all taxable years with original returns
22 due on or after the date of the election. In addition,
23 the cooperative may file an amended return or returns,
24 as allowed under this Act, to provide that the
25 election shall be effective for losses incurred or
26 carried forward for taxable years occurring prior to
SB2394 Enrolled - 606 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the date of the election. Once made, the election may
2 only be revoked upon approval of the Director. The
3 Department shall adopt rules setting forth
4 requirements for documenting the elections and any
5 resulting Illinois net loss and the standards to be
6 used by the Director in evaluating requests to revoke
7 elections. Public Act 96-932 is declaratory of
8 existing law;
9 (G) Subchapter S corporations. In the case of: (i)
10 a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in
11 effect an election for the taxable year under Section
12 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxable income
13 of such corporation determined in accordance with
14 Section 1363(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, except
15 that taxable income shall take into account those
16 items which are required by Section 1363(b)(1) of the
17 Internal Revenue Code to be separately stated; and
18 (ii) a Subchapter S corporation for which there is in
19 effect a federal election to opt out of the provisions
20 of the Subchapter S Revision Act of 1982 and have
21 applied instead the prior federal Subchapter S rules
22 as in effect on July 1, 1982, the taxable income of
23 such corporation determined in accordance with the
24 federal Subchapter S rules as in effect on July 1,
25 1982; and
26 (H) Partnerships. In the case of a partnership,
SB2394 Enrolled - 607 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 taxable income determined in accordance with Section
2 703 of the Internal Revenue Code, except that taxable
3 income shall take into account those items which are
4 required by Section 703(a)(1) to be separately stated
5 but which would be taken into account by an individual
6 in calculating his taxable income.
7 (3) Recapture of business expenses on disposition of
8 asset or business. Notwithstanding any other law to the
9 contrary, if in prior years income from an asset or
10 business has been classified as business income and in a
11 later year is demonstrated to be non-business income, then
12 all expenses, without limitation, deducted in such later
13 year and in the 2 immediately preceding taxable years
14 related to that asset or business that generated the
15 non-business income shall be added back and recaptured as
16 business income in the year of the disposition of the
17 asset or business. Such amount shall be apportioned to
18 Illinois using the greater of the apportionment fraction
19 computed for the business under Section 304 of this Act
20 for the taxable year or the average of the apportionment
21 fractions computed for the business under Section 304 of
22 this Act for the taxable year and for the 2 immediately
23 preceding taxable years.
24 (f) Valuation limitation amount.
25 (1) In general. The valuation limitation amount
SB2394 Enrolled - 608 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 referred to in subsections (a)(2)(G), (c)(2)(I) and
2 (d)(2)(E) is an amount equal to:
3 (A) The sum of the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
4 amounts (to the extent consisting of gain reportable
5 under the provisions of Section 1245 or 1250 of the
6 Internal Revenue Code) for all property in respect of
7 which such gain was reported for the taxable year;
8 plus
9 (B) The lesser of (i) the sum of the pre-August 1,
10 1969 appreciation amounts (to the extent consisting of
11 capital gain) for all property in respect of which
12 such gain was reported for federal income tax purposes
13 for the taxable year, or (ii) the net capital gain for
14 the taxable year, reduced in either case by any amount
15 of such gain included in the amount determined under
16 subsection (a)(2)(F) or (c)(2)(H).
17 (2) Pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation amount.
18 (A) If the fair market value of property referred
19 to in paragraph (1) was readily ascertainable on
20 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
21 amount for such property is the lesser of (i) the
22 excess of such fair market value over the taxpayer's
23 basis (for determining gain) for such property on that
24 date (determined under the Internal Revenue Code as in
25 effect on that date), or (ii) the total gain realized
26 and reportable for federal income tax purposes in
SB2394 Enrolled - 609 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 respect of the sale, exchange or other disposition of
2 such property.
3 (B) If the fair market value of property referred
4 to in paragraph (1) was not readily ascertainable on
5 August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1, 1969 appreciation
6 amount for such property is that amount which bears
7 the same ratio to the total gain reported in respect of
8 the property for federal income tax purposes for the
9 taxable year, as the number of full calendar months in
10 that part of the taxpayer's holding period for the
11 property ending July 31, 1969 bears to the number of
12 full calendar months in the taxpayer's entire holding
13 period for the property.
14 (C) The Department shall prescribe such
15 regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
16 purposes of this paragraph.
17 (g) Double deductions. Unless specifically provided
18 otherwise, nothing in this Section shall permit the same item
19 to be deducted more than once.
20 (h) Legislative intention. Except as expressly provided by
21 this Section there shall be no modifications or limitations on
22 the amounts of income, gain, loss or deduction taken into
23 account in determining gross income, adjusted gross income or
24 taxable income for federal income tax purposes for the taxable

5 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The tax
6 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is
7 a tax liability. If there are credits for more than one year

6 Sec. 304. Business income of persons other than residents.
7 (a) In general. The business income of a person other than
8 a resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's
9 business income is derived solely from this State. If a person
10 other than a resident derives business income from this State
11 and one or more other states, then, for tax years ending on or
12 before December 30, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
13 this Section, such person's business income shall be
14 apportioned to this State by multiplying the income by a
15 fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the property
16 factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the
17 sales factor (if any), and the denominator of which is 4
18 reduced by the number of factors other than the sales factor
19 which have a denominator of zero and by an additional 2 if the
20 sales factor has a denominator of zero. For tax years ending on
21 or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise provided
22 by this Section, persons other than residents who derive
23 business income from this State and one or more other states
24 shall compute their apportionment factor by weighting their
25 property, payroll, and sales factors as provided in subsection
SB2394 Enrolled - 616 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (h) of this Section.
2 (1) Property factor.
3 (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator
4 of which is the average value of the person's real and
5 tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the
6 trade or business in this State during the taxable year
7 and the denominator of which is the average value of all
8 the person's real and tangible personal property owned or
9 rented and used in the trade or business during the
10 taxable year.
11 (B) Property owned by the person is valued at its
12 original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at
13 8 times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate
14 is the annual rental rate paid by the person less any
15 annual rental rate received by the person from
16 sub-rentals.
17 (C) The average value of property shall be determined
18 by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the
19 taxable year, but the Director may require the averaging
20 of monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably
21 required to reflect properly the average value of the
22 person's property.
23 (2) Payroll factor.
24 (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of
25 which is the total amount paid in this State during the
26 taxable year by the person for compensation, and the
SB2394 Enrolled - 617 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 denominator of which is the total compensation paid
2 everywhere during the taxable year.
3 (B) Compensation is paid in this State if:
4 (i) The individual's service is performed entirely
5 within this State;
6 (ii) The individual's service is performed both
7 within and without this State, but the service
8 performed without this State is incidental to the
9 individual's service performed within this State; or
10 (iii) For tax years ending prior to December 31,
11 2020, some of the service is performed within this
12 State and either the base of operations, or if there is
13 no base of operations, the place from which the
14 service is directed or controlled is within this
15 State, or the base of operations or the place from
16 which the service is directed or controlled is not in
17 any state in which some part of the service is
18 performed, but the individual's residence is in this
19 State. For tax years ending on or after December 31,
20 2020, compensation is paid in this State if some of the
21 individual's service is performed within this State,
22 the individual's service performed within this State
23 is nonincidental to the individual's service performed
24 without this State, and the individual's service is
25 performed within this State for more than 30 working
26 days during the tax year. The amount of compensation
SB2394 Enrolled - 618 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 paid in this State shall include the portion of the
2 individual's total compensation for services performed
3 on behalf of his or her employer during the tax year
4 which the number of working days spent within this

14 are not working days.
15 (b) A working day is spent within this State
16 if:
17 (1) the individual performs service on
18 behalf of the employer and a greater amount of
19 time on that day is spent by the individual
20 performing duties on behalf of the employer
21 within this State, without regard to time
22 spent traveling, than is spent performing
23 duties on behalf of the employer without this
24 State; or
25 (2) the only service the individual
26 performs on behalf of the employer on that day
SB2394 Enrolled - 619 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 is traveling to a destination within this
2 State, and the individual arrives on that day.
3 (c) Working days spent within this State do
4 not include any day in which the employee is

6 disaster period solely in response to a request
7 made to his or her employer by the government of
8 this State, by any political subdivision of this
9 State, or by a person conducting business in this

22 of such gross receipts for all states in which the

4 arrangement that is included in the Illinois
5 numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or
6 other total remuneration from the person providing
7 the programming related to that broadcast
8 multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
9 that broadcast.
10 (iv) In the case where film or radio
11 programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a
12 network or station to a customer for broadcast in
13 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
14 customer the broadcasting service is received at
15 the location of the office of the customer from
16 which the services were ordered in the regular
17 course of the customer's trade or business.
18 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
19 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
20 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
21 revenue from such customers who receive the
22 broadcasting service in Illinois.
23 (v) In the case where film or radio
24 programming is provided by a taxpayer that is not
25 a network or station to another person for
26 broadcasting in exchange for a fee or other
SB2394 Enrolled - 643 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 remuneration from that person, the broadcasting
2 service is received at the location of the office
3 of the customer from which the services were
4 ordered in the regular course of the customer's
5 trade or business. Accordingly, in such a case the
6 revenue derived by the taxpayer that is included
7 in the taxpayer's Illinois numerator of the sales
8 factor is the revenue from such customers who
9 receive the broadcasting service in Illinois.

1 sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1),
2 (B-2), and (B-8) are in this State if:
3 (i) The income-producing activity is performed in
4 this State; or
5 (ii) The income-producing activity is performed
6 both within and without this State and a greater
7 proportion of the income-producing activity is
8 performed within this State than without this State,
9 based on performance costs.
10 (C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December
11 31, 2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs
12 (B), (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if
13 any of the following criteria are met:
14 (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property
15 are in this State if the property is located in this
16 State.
17 (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible
18 personal property are in this State if the property is
19 located in this State during the rental period. Sales
20 from the lease or rental of tangible personal property
21 that is characteristically moving property, including,
22 but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock,
23 aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this
24 State to the extent that the property is used in this
25 State.
26 (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not
SB2394 Enrolled - 645 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 less than zero) and other items of income from

3 State if:
4 (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer
5 in the item of intangible personal property within
6 the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue
7 Code, the income or gain is received from a
8 customer in this State. For purposes of this
9 subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the
10 customer is an individual, trust or estate who is
11 a resident of this State and, for all other
12 customers, if the customer's commercial domicile
13 is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual
14 knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile
15 of a customer during a taxable year, the customer
16 shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if
17 the billing address of the customer, as shown in
18 the records of the dealer, is in this State; or
19 (b) in all other cases, if the
20 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
21 performed in this State or, if the
22 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
23 performed both within and without this State, if a
24 greater proportion of the income-producing

26 State than in any other state, based on
SB2394 Enrolled - 646 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 performance costs.
2 (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the
3 services are received in this State. For the purposes
4 of this section, gross receipts from the performance
5 of services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
6 trust may only be attributed to a state where that
7 corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place
8 of business. If the state where the services are
9 received is not readily determinable or is a state
10 where the corporation, partnership, or trust receiving
11 the service does not have a fixed place of business,
12 the services shall be deemed to be received at the
13 location of the office of the customer from which the
14 services were ordered in the regular course of the
15 customer's trade or business. If the ordering office
16 cannot be determined, the services shall be deemed to
17 be received at the office of the customer to which the
18 services are billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in
19 the state in which the services are received, the sale
20 must be excluded from both the numerator and the
21 denominator of the sales factor. The Department shall
22 adopt rules prescribing where specific types of
23 service are received, including, but not limited to,
24 publishing, and utility service.
25 (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
26 1995, the following items of income shall not be included
SB2394 Enrolled - 647 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor:
2 dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the
3 Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in
4 Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
5 shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
6 construing this Section for taxable years ending before
7 December 31, 1995.
8 (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax
9 years ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that
10 a taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
11 paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
12 in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
13 be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
14 that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for
15 any tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to
16 January 1, 1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the
17 provisions of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall
18 be payable to the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent
19 such refund is the result of applying the provisions of
20 paragraph (B-1) or (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a
21 unitary business group, such election shall apply to all
22 members of such group for every tax year such group is in
23 existence, but shall not apply to any taxpayer for any
24 period during which that taxpayer is not a member of such
25 group.
26 (b) Insurance companies.
SB2394 Enrolled - 648 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
2 paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
3 a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
4 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
5 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
6 property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
7 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
8 property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this
9 subsection, the term "direct premiums written" means the
10 total amount of direct premiums written, assessments and
11 annuity considerations as reported for the taxable year on
12 the annual statement filed by the company with the
13 Illinois Director of Insurance in the form approved by the
14 National Convention of Insurance Commissioners or such
15 other form as may be prescribed in lieu thereof.
16 (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
17 written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
18 reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such
19 company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
20 such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
21 sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon
22 property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written
23 for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in
24 this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of
25 (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
26 or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for
SB2394 Enrolled - 649 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk
2 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, premiums
3 written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or
4 risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,
5 may, at the election of the company, be determined on the
6 basis of the proportion which premiums written for
7 reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled
8 in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance
9 accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
10 proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written
11 for insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
12 ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to
13 the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
14 ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by
15 a company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
16 ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
17 that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
18 taxable years, and may be altered only with the written
19 permission of the Department, which shall not be
20 unreasonably withheld.
21 (c) Financial organizations.
22 (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
23 December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
24 organization shall be apportioned to this State by
25 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
26 which is its business income from sources within this
SB2394 Enrolled - 650 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 State, and the denominator of which is its business income
2 from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
3 business income of a financial organization from sources
4 within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in
5 subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
6 adjusted income of an international banking facility as
7 determined in paragraph (2):
8 (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
9 financial services rendered within this State;
10 (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
11 other securities managed within this State;
12 (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
13 customers, which are received within this State;
14 (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
15 business maintained within this State for carrying
16 debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
17 of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
18 (E) Any other gross income resulting from the
19 operation as a financial organization within this
20 State.
21 In computing the amounts referred to in paragraphs (A)
22 through (E) of this subsection, any amount received by a
23 member of an affiliated group (determined under Section
24 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code but without reference
25 to whether any such corporation is an "includible
26 corporation" under Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue
SB2394 Enrolled - 651 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Code) from another member of such group shall be included
2 only to the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
3 recipient directly related thereto.
4 (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years
5 ending before December 31, 2008:
6 (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
7 international banking facility is its income reduced
8 by the amount of the floor amount.
9 (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
10 amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income
11 of the international banking facility by a fraction,
12 not greater than one, which is determined as follows:
13 (i) The numerator shall be:
14 The average aggregate, determined on a
15 quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
16 loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
17 domiciled borrowers (except where secured
18 primarily by real estate) and to foreign
19 governments and other foreign official
20 institutions, as reported for its branches,
21 agencies and offices within the state on its
22 "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
23 Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
24 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
25 other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
26 minus
SB2394 Enrolled - 652 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 The average aggregate, determined on a
2 quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans
3 of an international banking facility), as reported
4 by the financial institution for its branches,
5 agencies and offices within the state, on the
6 corresponding Schedule and lines of the
7 Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
8 taxable year, provided, however, that in no case
9 shall the amount determined in this clause (the
10 subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
11 preceding clause (the minuend); and
12 (ii) the denominator shall be the average
13 aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
14 international banking facility's loans to banks in
15 foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
16 (except where secured primarily by real estate)
17 and to foreign governments and other foreign
18 official institutions, which were recorded in its
19 financial accounts for the current taxable year.
20 (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
21 in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
22 of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
23 Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities
24 is altered so that the information required for
25 determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
26 A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial
SB2394 Enrolled - 653 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 institution shall notify the Department and the
2 Department may, by regulations or otherwise, prescribe
3 or authorize the use of an alternative source for such
4 information. The financial institution shall also
5 notify the Department should its international banking
6 facility fail to qualify as such, in whole or in part,
7 or should there be any amendment or change to the
8 Consolidated Report of Condition, as originally filed,
9 to the extent such amendment or change alters the
10 information used in determining the floor amount.
11 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
12 2008, the business income of a financial organization
13 shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying such
14 income by a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross
15 receipts from sources in this State or otherwise
16 attributable to this State's marketplace and the
17 denominator of which is its gross receipts everywhere
18 during the taxable year. "Gross receipts" for purposes of
19 this subparagraph (3) means gross income, including net
20 taxable gain on disposition of assets, including
21 securities and money market instruments, when derived from
22 transactions and activities in the regular course of the
23 financial organization's trade or business. The following
24 examples are illustrative:
25 (i) Receipts from the lease or rental of real or
26 tangible personal property are in this State if the
SB2394 Enrolled - 654 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 property is located in this State during the rental
2 period. Receipts from the lease or rental of tangible
3 personal property that is characteristically moving
4 property, including, but not limited to, motor
5 vehicles, rolling stock, aircraft, vessels, or mobile
6 equipment are from sources in this State to the extent
7 that the property is used in this State.
8 (ii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
9 disposition, and other receipts from assets in the
10 nature of loans that are secured primarily by real
11 estate or tangible personal property are from sources
12 in this State if the security is located in this State.
13 (iii) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
14 disposition, and other receipts from consumer loans
15 that are not secured by real or tangible personal
16 property are from sources in this State if the debtor
17 is a resident of this State.
18 (iv) Interest income, commissions, fees, gains on
19 disposition, and other receipts from commercial loans
20 and installment obligations that are not secured by
21 real or tangible personal property are from sources in
22 this State if the proceeds of the loan are to be
23 applied in this State. If it cannot be determined
24 where the funds are to be applied, the income and
25 receipts are from sources in this State if the office
26 of the borrower from which the loan was negotiated in
SB2394 Enrolled - 655 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the regular course of business is located in this
2 State. If the location of this office cannot be
3 determined, the income and receipts shall be excluded
4 from the numerator and denominator of the sales
5 factor.
6 (v) Interest income, fees, gains on disposition,
7 service charges, merchant discount income, and other
8 receipts from credit card receivables are from sources
9 in this State if the card charges are regularly billed
10 to a customer in this State.
11 (vi) Receipts from the performance of services,
12 including, but not limited to, fiduciary, advisory,
13 and brokerage services, are in this State if the
14 services are received in this State within the meaning
15 of subparagraph (a)(3)(C-5)(iv) of this Section.
16 (vii) Receipts from the issuance of travelers
17 checks and money orders are from sources in this State
18 if the checks and money orders are issued from a
19 location within this State.
20 (viii) For tax years ending before December 31,
21 2024, receipts from investment assets and activities
22 and trading assets and activities are included in the
23 receipts factor as follows:
24 (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not
25 less than zero) and other income from investment
26 assets and activities from trading assets and
SB2394 Enrolled - 656 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 activities shall be included in the receipts
2 factor. Investment assets and activities and
3 trading assets and activities include, but are not
4 limited to: investment securities; trading account
5 assets; federal funds; securities purchased and
6 sold under agreements to resell or repurchase;
7 options; futures contracts; forward contracts;
8 notional principal contracts such as swaps;
9 equities; and foreign currency transactions. With
10 respect to the investment and trading assets and
11 activities described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
12 of this paragraph, the receipts factor shall
13 include the amounts described in such
14 subparagraphs.
15 (A) The receipts factor shall include the
16 amount by which interest from federal funds
17 sold and securities purchased under resale
18 agreements exceeds interest expense on federal
19 funds purchased and securities sold under
20 repurchase agreements.
21 (B) The receipts factor shall include the
22 amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
23 other income from trading assets and
24 activities, including, but not limited to,
25 assets and activities in the matched book, in
26 the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
SB2394 Enrolled - 657 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
2 interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,
3 and losses from such assets and activities.
4 (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
5 includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
6 less than zero), and other income from investment
7 assets and activities and from trading assets and
8 activities described in paragraph (1) of this
9 subsection that are attributable to this State.
10 (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
11 gains (but not less than zero), and other
12 income from investment assets and activities
13 in the investment account to be attributed to
14 this State and included in the numerator is
15 determined by multiplying all such income from
16 such assets and activities by a fraction, the
17 numerator of which is the gross income from
18 such assets and activities which are properly
19 assigned to a fixed place of business of the
20 taxpayer within this State and the denominator
21 of which is the gross income from all such
22 assets and activities.
23 (B) The amount of interest from federal
24 funds sold and purchased and from securities
25 purchased under resale agreements and
26 securities sold under repurchase agreements
SB2394 Enrolled - 658 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 attributable to this State and included in the
2 numerator is determined by multiplying the
3 amount described in subparagraph (A) of
4 paragraph (1) of this subsection from such
5 funds and such securities by a fraction, the
6 numerator of which is the gross income from
7 such funds and such securities which are
8 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
9 of the taxpayer within this State and the
10 denominator of which is the gross income from
11 all such funds and such securities.
12 (C) The amount of interest, dividends,
13 gains, and other income from trading assets
14 and activities, including, but not limited to,
15 assets and activities in the matched book, in
16 the arbitrage book and foreign currency
17 transactions (but excluding amounts described
18 in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this
19 paragraph), attributable to this State and
20 included in the numerator is determined by
21 multiplying the amount described in
22 subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of this
23 subsection by a fraction, the numerator of
24 which is the gross income from such trading
25 assets and activities which are properly
26 assigned to a fixed place of business of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 659 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 taxpayer within this State and the denominator
2 of which is the gross income from all such
3 assets and activities.
4 (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
5 this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
6 the investment or trading asset or activity is
7 assigned to the fixed place of business with
8 which it has a preponderance of substantive
9 contacts. An investment or trading asset or
10 activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
11 place of business without the State shall be
12 presumed to have been properly assigned if:
13 (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
14 regular course of its business, such asset
15 or activity on its records to a fixed
16 place of business consistent with federal
17 or state regulatory requirements;
18 (ii) such assignment on its records is
19 based upon substantive contacts of the
20 asset or activity to such fixed place of
21 business; and
22 (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
23 reflecting assignment of such assets or
24 activities for the filing of all state and
25 local tax returns for which an assignment
26 of such assets or activities to a fixed
SB2394 Enrolled - 660 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 place of business is required.
2 (E) The presumption of proper assignment
3 of an investment or trading asset or activity
4 provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
5 of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
6 showing by the Department, supported by a
7 preponderance of the evidence, that the
8 preponderance of substantive contacts
9 regarding such asset or activity did not occur
10 at the fixed place of business to which it was
11 assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the
12 fixed place of business that has a
13 preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
14 be determined for an investment or trading
15 asset or activity to which the presumption in
16 subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
17 subsection does not apply or with respect to
18 which that presumption has been rebutted, that
19 asset or activity is properly assigned to the
20 state in which the taxpayer's commercial
21 domicile is located. For purposes of this
22 subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
23 subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
24 commercial domicile is in the state of the
25 United States or the District of Columbia to
26 which the greatest number of employees are
SB2394 Enrolled - 661 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 regularly connected with the management of the
2 investment or trading income or out of which
3 they are working, irrespective of where the
4 services of such employees are performed, as
5 of the last day of the taxable year.
6 (ix) For tax years ending on or after December 31,
7 2024, receipts from investment assets and activities
8 and trading assets and activities are included in the
9 receipts factor as follows:
10 (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not
11 less than zero), and other income from investment
12 assets and activities from trading assets and
13 activities shall be included in the receipts
14 factor. Investment assets and activities and

19 repurchase; options; futures contracts; forward
20 contracts; notional principal contracts, such as
21 swaps; equities; and foreign currency
22 transactions. With respect to the investment and
23 trading assets and activities described in
24 subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph, the
25 receipts factor shall include the amounts
26 described in those subparagraphs.
SB2394 Enrolled - 662 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (A) The receipts factor shall include the
2 amount by which interest from federal funds
3 sold and securities purchased under resale
4 agreements exceeds interest expense on federal
5 funds purchased and securities sold under
6 repurchase agreements.
7 (B) The receipts factor shall include the
8 amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
9 other income from trading assets and
10 activities, including, but not limited to,
11 assets and activities in the matched book, in
12 the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
13 transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
14 interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,
15 and losses from such assets and activities.
16 (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
17 includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
18 less than zero), and other income from investment
19 assets and activities and from trading assets and

SB2394 Enrolled - 665 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 ending on or after December 31, 2012, business income of a
2 federally regulated exchange shall, at the option of the
3 federally regulated exchange, be apportioned to this State by
4 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
5 is its business income from sources within this State, and the
6 denominator of which is its business income from all sources.
7 For purposes of this subsection, the business income within
8 this State of a federally regulated exchange is the sum of the
9 following:
10 (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on
11 a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is

8 business group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to
9 apportion business income under different subsections of this
10 Section; provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only
11 if 50% or more of the business receipts of the unitary business
12 group determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for
13 the taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution,
14 or clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described
15 in subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
16 In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
17 computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
18 taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois
19 apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
20 for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or
21 after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1)
22 applied to the taxpayer.
23 (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
24 before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
25 furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to
26 this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
SB2394 Enrolled - 667 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
2 transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
3 State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
4 numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
5 this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
6 miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
7 paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
8 passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
9 for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
10 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
11 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
12 an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
13 freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the
14 person's
15 (A) relative railway operating income from total
16 passenger and total freight service, as reported to
17 the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of
18 transportation by railroad, and
19 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
20 freight transportation, in case of transportation
21 other than by railroad.
22 (2) Such business income derived from transportation
23 by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by
24 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
25 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
26 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 668 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 person everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a
2 revenue mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel
3 of oil, 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified
4 quantity of any other substance, the distance of 1 mile
5 for a consideration.
6 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
7 2008, business income derived from providing
8 transportation services other than airline services shall
9 be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the
10 numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any
11 movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or
12 any other substance (other than by airline) that both
13 originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that
14 portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or
15 shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other
16 substance (other than by airline) that originates in one
17 state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or
18 jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the
19 miles traveled in this State bears to total miles
20 everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all
21 revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people,
22 goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than
23 by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the
24 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
25 fraction above referred to shall first be determined
26 separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an
SB2394 Enrolled - 669 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight
2 miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the
3 taxpayer's:
4 (A) relative railway operating income from total
5 passenger and total freight service, as reported to
6 the Surface Transportation Board, in the case of
7 transportation by railroad; and
8 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
9 freight transportation, in case of transportation
10 other than by railroad.
11 (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
12 2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
13 transportation services shall be apportioned to this State
14 by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
15 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
16 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the
17 person everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a
18 revenue mile is the transportation of one passenger or one
19 net ton of freight the distance of one mile for a
20 consideration. If a person is engaged in the
21 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
22 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
23 an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
24 freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the
25 person's relative gross receipts from passenger and
26 freight airline transportation.

1 (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are
2 engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection
3 (a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
4 State by one or more members of the group, the business income
5 attributable to this State by any such member or members shall
6 be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
7 (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
8 apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of
9 subsection (h) do not, for taxable years ending before
10 December 31, 2008, fairly represent the extent of a person's
11 business activity in this State, or, for taxable years ending
12 on or after December 31, 2008, fairly represent the market for
13 the person's goods, services, or other sources of business
14 income, the person may petition for, or the Director may,
15 without a petition, permit or require, in respect of all or any
16 part of the person's business activity, if reasonable:
17 (1) Separate accounting;
18 (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;
19 (3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors
20 which will fairly represent the person's business
21 activities or market in this State; or
22 (4) The employment of any other method to effectuate
23 an equitable allocation and apportionment of the person's
24 business income.
25 (g) Cross-reference Cross reference. For allocation of
26 business income by residents, see Section 301(a).

1 (h) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998, the
2 apportionment factor of persons who apportion their business
3 income to this State under subsection (a) shall be equal to:
4 (1) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998
5 and before December 31, 1999, 16 2/3% of the property
6 factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll factor plus 66 2/3% of
7 the sales factor;
8 (2) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999
9 and before December 31, 2000, 8 1/3% of the property
10 factor plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83 1/3% of
11 the sales factor;
12 (3) for tax years ending on or after December 31,
13 2000, the sales factor.
14 If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998 and
15 before December 31, 2000, the denominator of the payroll,
16 property, or sales factor is zero, the apportionment factor
17 computed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that
18 year shall be divided by an amount equal to 100% minus the
19 percentage weight given to each factor whose denominator is
20 equal to zero.

10 against the taxpayer's liability under this Section in the
11 succeeding calendar years as allowed to be carried forward

19 taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under this Section
20 to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or credits
21 exceeds the total payments due under this Section with respect
22 to amounts withheld during the quarterly reporting period, the
23 excess may be carried forward and applied against the
24 taxpayer's liability under this Section in the succeeding
25 quarterly reporting period as allowed to be carried forward

8 and applied against the taxpayer's liability under this
9 Section in the succeeding quarterly reporting period as
10 allowed to be carried forward under paragraph (4) of Section

10 total payments due under this Section with respect to amounts
11 withheld during the calendar year, the excess may be carried
12 forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability under
13 this Section in the 5 succeeding calendar years. The credit
14 shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax
15 liability. If there are credits from more than one calendar
16 year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier
17 credit shall be applied first. This Section is exempt from the
18 provisions of Section 250 of this Act.
19 (i) Each employer with 50 or fewer full-time equivalent
20 employees during the reporting period may claim a credit
21 against the payments due under this Section for each qualified

3 "Employer" and "employee" have the meaning ascribed to
4 those terms in the Minimum Wage Law, except that "employee"
5 also includes employees who work for an employer with fewer
6 than 4 employees. Employers that operate more than one
7 establishment pursuant to a franchise agreement or that

4 (j) For reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
5 2023, if a private employer grants all of its employees the
6 option of taking a paid leave of absence of at least 30 days
7 for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone marrow
8 donor, then the private employer may take a credit against the
9 payments due under this Section in an amount equal to the
10 amount withheld under this Section with respect to wages paid
11 while the employee is on organ donation leave, not to exceed
12 $1,000 in withholdings for each employee who takes organ
13 donation leave. To be eligible for the credit, such a leave of
14 absence must be taken without loss of pay, vacation time,
15 compensatory time, personal days, or sick time for at least
16 the first 30 days of the leave of absence. The private employer
17 shall adopt rules governing organ donation leave, including
18 rules that (i) establish conditions and procedures for
19 requesting and approving leave and (ii) require medical
20 documentation of the proposed organ or bone marrow donation
21 before leave is approved by the private employer. A private
22 employer must provide, in the manner required by the
23 Department, documentation from the employee's medical
24 provider, which the private employer receives from the
25 employee, that verifies the employee's organ donation. The
26 private employer must also provide, in the manner required by

3 qualifying employees at the time the leave was taken. For the
4 private employer to receive the tax credit, the employee
5 taking organ donor leave must allow for the applicable medical
6 records to be disclosed to the Department. If the private
7 employer cannot provide the required documentation to the
8 Department, then the private employer is ineligible for the
9 credit under this Section. A private employer must also
10 provide, in the form required by the Department, any
11 additional documentation or information required by the
12 Department to administer the credit under this Section. The
13 credit under this subsection (j) shall be taken within one
14 year after the date upon which the organ donation leave
15 begins. If the leave taken spans into a second tax year, the
16 employer qualifies for the allowable credit in the later of
17 the 2 years. If the amount of credit exceeds the tax liability
18 for the year, the excess may be carried and applied to the tax
19 liability for the 3 taxable years following the excess credit
20 year. The tax credit shall be applied to the earliest year for
21 which there is a tax liability. If there are credits for more
22 than one year that are available to offset liability, the
23 earlier credit shall be applied first.
24 Nothing in this subsection (j) prohibits a private
25 employer from providing an unpaid leave of absence to its
26 employees for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone

2 fewer than 30 days of paid leave for organ or bone marrow
3 donation, then the employer shall not be eligible for the
4 credit under this Section.
5 As used in this subsection (j):
6 "Organ" means any biological tissue of the human body that
7 may be donated by a living donor, including, but not limited
8 to, the kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, intestine, bone, skin,

10 "Organ donor" means a person from whose body an organ is
11 taken to be transferred to the body of another person.
12 "Private employer" means a sole proprietorship,

18 Section 250 of this Act.
19 (k) For reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
20 2025 and before January 1, 2027, an employer may claim a credit
21 against payments due under this Section for amounts withheld
22 during the first reporting period to occur after the date on
23 which a tax credit certificate is issued for a non-profit
24 theater production under Section 10 of the Live Theater
25 Production Tax Credit Act. The credit shall be equal to the
26 amount shown on the certificate, but may not reduce the
SB2394 Enrolled - 687 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under this Article
2 to less than zero. If the amount of the credit exceeds the
3 total amount due under this Article with respect to amounts
4 withheld during the first reporting period to occur after the
5 date on which a tax credit certificate is issued, the excess
6 may be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
7 liability under this Section for reporting periods that occur
8 in the 5 succeeding calendar years. The excess credit shall be
9 applied to the earliest reporting period for which there is a
10 payment due under this Article. If there are credits from more
11 than one reporting period that are available to offset a
12 liability, the earlier credit shall be applied first. The
13 Department of Revenue, in cooperation with the Department of
14 Commerce and Economic Opportunity, shall adopt rules to
15 enforce and administer the provisions of this subsection.
16 (l) (k) A taxpayer who is issued a certificate under the

2 Sections 2, 3-5, and 3-10 as follows:
3 (35 ILCS 105/2) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.2)
4 Sec. 2. Definitions. As used in this Act:
5 "Use" means the exercise by any person of any right or
6 power over tangible personal property incident to the
7 ownership of that property, or, on and after January 1, 2025,
8 incident to the possession or control of, the right to possess
9 or control, or a license to use that property through a lease,
10 except that it does not include the sale of such property in
11 any form as tangible personal property in the regular course
12 of business to the extent that such property is not first
13 subjected to a use for which it was purchased, and does not
14 include the use of such property by its owner for
15 demonstration purposes: Provided that the property purchased
16 is deemed to be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite
17 first being used, to the extent to which it is resold as an
18 ingredient of an intentionally produced product or by-product
19 of manufacturing. "Use" does not mean the demonstration use or
20 interim use of tangible personal property by a retailer before
21 he sells that tangible personal property. On and after January
22 1, 2025, the lease of tangible personal property to a lessee by
23 a retailer who is subject to tax on lease receipts under Public
24 Act 103-592 this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly
25 does not qualify as demonstration use or interim use of that
SB2394 Enrolled - 701 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 property. For watercraft or aircraft, if the period of
2 demonstration use or interim use by the retailer exceeds 18
3 months, the retailer shall pay on the retailers' original cost
4 price the tax imposed by this Act, and no credit for that tax
5 is permitted if the watercraft or aircraft is subsequently
6 sold by the retailer. "Use" does not mean the physical
7 incorporation of tangible personal property, to the extent not
8 first subjected to a use for which it was purchased, as an
9 ingredient or constituent, into other tangible personal
10 property (a) which is sold in the regular course of business or
11 (b) which the person incorporating such ingredient or
12 constituent therein has undertaken at the time of such
13 purchase to cause to be transported in interstate commerce to
14 destinations outside the State of Illinois: Provided that the
15 property purchased is deemed to be purchased for the purpose
16 of resale, despite first being used, to the extent to which it
17 is resold as an ingredient of an intentionally produced
18 product or by-product of manufacturing.
19 "Lease" means a transfer of the possession or control of,
20 the right to possess or control, or a license to use, but not
21 title to, tangible personal property for a fixed or
22 indeterminate term for consideration, regardless of the name
23 by which the transaction is called. "Lease" does not include a
24 lease entered into merely as a security agreement that does
25 not involve a transfer of possession or control from the
26 lessor to the lessee.
SB2394 Enrolled - 702 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 On and after January 1, 2025, the term "sale", when used in
2 this Act, includes a lease.
3 "Watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
5 and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
6 with an inboard motor.
7 "Purchase at retail" means the acquisition of the
8 ownership of, the title to, the possession or control of, the
9 right to possess or control, or a license to use, tangible
10 personal property through a sale at retail.
11 "Purchaser" means anyone who, through a sale at retail,
12 acquires the ownership of, the title to, the possession or
13 control of, the right to possess or control, or a license to
14 use, tangible personal property for a valuable consideration.
15 "Sale at retail" means any transfer of the ownership of or
16 title to tangible personal property to a purchaser, for the
17 purpose of use, and not for the purpose of resale in any form
18 as tangible personal property to the extent not first
19 subjected to a use for which it was purchased, for a valuable
20 consideration: Provided that the property purchased is deemed
21 to be purchased for the purpose of resale, despite first being
22 used, to the extent to which it is resold as an ingredient of
23 an intentionally produced product or by-product of
24 manufacturing. For this purpose, slag produced as an incident
25 to manufacturing pig iron or steel and sold is considered to be
26 an intentionally produced by-product of manufacturing. "Sale
SB2394 Enrolled - 703 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 at retail" includes any such transfer made for resale unless
2 made in compliance with Section 2c of the Retailers'
3 Occupation Tax Act, as incorporated by reference into Section
4 12 of this Act. Transactions whereby the possession of the
5 property is transferred but the seller retains the title as
6 security for payment of the selling price are sales.
7 "Sale at retail" shall also be construed to include any
8 Illinois florist's sales transaction in which the purchase
9 order is received in Illinois by a florist and the sale is for
10 use or consumption, but the Illinois florist has a florist in
11 another state deliver the property to the purchaser or the
12 purchaser's donee in such other state.
13 Nonreusable tangible personal property that is used by
14 persons engaged in the business of operating a restaurant,
15 cafeteria, or drive-in is a sale for resale when it is
16 transferred to customers in the ordinary course of business as
17 part of the sale of food or beverages and is used to deliver,
18 package, or consume food or beverages, regardless of where
19 consumption of the food or beverages occurs. Examples of those
20 items include, but are not limited to nonreusable, paper and
21 plastic cups, plates, baskets, boxes, sleeves, buckets or
22 other containers, utensils, straws, placemats, napkins, doggie
23 bags, and wrapping or packaging materials that are transferred
24 to customers as part of the sale of food or beverages in the
25 ordinary course of business.
26 The purchase, employment, and transfer of such tangible
SB2394 Enrolled - 704 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 personal property as newsprint and ink for the primary purpose
2 of conveying news (with or without other information) is not a
3 purchase, use, or sale of tangible personal property.
4 "Selling price" means the consideration for a sale valued
5 in money whether received in money or otherwise, including
6 cash, credits, property other than as hereinafter provided,
7 and services, but, prior to January 1, 2020 and beginning
8 again on January 1, 2022, not including the value of or credit
9 given for traded-in tangible personal property where the item
10 that is traded-in is of like kind and character as that which
11 is being sold; beginning January 1, 2020 and until January 1,
12 2022, "selling price" includes the portion of the value of or
13 credit given for traded-in motor vehicles of the First
14 Division as defined in Section 1-146 of the Illinois Vehicle
15 Code of like kind and character as that which is being sold
16 that exceeds $10,000. "Selling price" shall be determined
17 without any deduction on account of the cost of the property
18 sold, the cost of materials used, labor or service cost, or any
19 other expense whatsoever, but does not include interest or
20 finance charges which appear as separate items on the bill of
21 sale or sales contract nor charges that are added to prices by
22 sellers on account of the seller's tax liability under the
23 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, or on account of the seller's
24 duty to collect, from the purchaser, the tax that is imposed by
25 this Act, or, except as otherwise provided with respect to any
26 cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit, on account of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 705 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 seller's tax liability under any local occupation tax
2 administered by the Department, or, except as otherwise
3 provided with respect to any cigarette tax imposed by a home
4 rule unit on account of the seller's duty to collect, from the
5 purchasers, the tax that is imposed under any local use tax
6 administered by the Department. Effective December 1, 1985,
7 "selling price" shall include charges that are added to prices
8 by sellers on account of the seller's tax liability under the
9 Cigarette Tax Act, on account of the seller's duty to collect,
10 from the purchaser, the tax imposed under the Cigarette Use
11 Tax Act, and on account of the seller's duty to collect, from
12 the purchaser, any cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit.
13 The provisions of this paragraph, which provides only for
14 an alternative meaning of "selling price" with respect to the
15 sale of certain motor vehicles incident to the contemporaneous
16 lease of those motor vehicles, continue in effect and are not
17 changed by the tax on leases implemented by Public Act 103-592
18 this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly.
19 Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, for any motor
20 vehicle, as defined in Section 1-146 of the Vehicle Code, that
21 is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing
22 the vehicle for a defined period that is longer than one year
23 and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division that: (A) is
24 a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
25 converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
26 camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
SB2394 Enrolled - 706 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
2 configuration designed for the transportation of not less than
3 7 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle
4 weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor vehicle
5 of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of sale"
6 means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
7 lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
8 monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
9 lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
10 received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
11 that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
12 including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
13 charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
14 Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
15 from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
16 at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
17 motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
18 on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
19 the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
20 tax imposed by this Act or to pay the tax imposed by the
21 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act on those amounts. However, the
22 lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the liability
23 for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts directly to
24 the Department in the same form (Illinois Retailers'
25 Occupation Tax, and local retailers' occupation taxes, if
26 applicable) in which the retailer would have reported and paid
SB2394 Enrolled - 707 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 such tax if the retailer had accounted for the tax to the
2 Department. For amounts received by the lessor from the lessee
3 that are not calculated at the time the lease is executed, the
4 lessor must file the return and pay the tax to the Department
5 by the due date otherwise required by this Act for returns
6 other than transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled
7 under this Act to a discount for collecting and remitting the
8 tax imposed under this Act to the Department with respect to
9 the sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to
10 the discount provided in this Act shall be transferred to the
11 lessor with respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any
12 amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased
13 vehicle that is not calculated at the time the lease is
14 executed; provided that the discount is only allowed if the
15 return is timely filed and for amounts timely paid. The
16 "selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or after
17 January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined period
18 of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the value of or
19 credit given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by
20 the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the value of or credit
21 given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by the
22 lessee, regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is
23 assigned by the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor
24 vehicle that is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined
25 period of longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of
26 the delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any
SB2394 Enrolled - 708 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation
2 Tax liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease
3 may not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax
4 the lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for
5 any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
6 the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
7 calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
8 price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
9 calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
10 in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
11 Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
12 all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
13 by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
14 Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
15 vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
16 term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
17 with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
18 lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
19 defined period.
20 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
21 construed (including, but not limited to, any form of motor
22 vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
23 agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
24 agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
25 which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
26 retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
SB2394 Enrolled - 709 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 occasional sale.
2 "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
3 "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
4 association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
5 private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
6 executor, trustee, guardian, or other representative appointed
7 by order of any court.
8 "Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the
9 business of making sales, including, on and after January 1,
10 2025, leases, at retail as defined in this Section. With
11 respect to leases, a "retailer" also means a "lessor", except
12 as otherwise provided in this Act.
13 A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
14 (or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
15 property at retail is a retailer hereunder with respect to
16 such sales (and not primarily in a service occupation)
17 notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
18 such tangible personal property on special order for the
19 purchaser and in such a way as to render the property of value
20 only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal property so
21 produced on special order serves substantially the same
22 function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
23 property that are sold at retail.
24 A person whose activities are organized and conducted
25 primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
26 engages in selling tangible personal property at retail
SB2394 Enrolled - 710 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (whether to the public or merely to members and their guests)
2 is a retailer with respect to such transactions, excepting
3 only a person organized and operated exclusively for
4 charitable, religious or educational purposes either (1), to
5 the extent of sales by such person to its members, students,
6 patients, or inmates of tangible personal property to be used
7 primarily for the purposes of such person, or (2), to the
8 extent of sales by such person of tangible personal property
9 which is not sold or offered for sale by persons organized for
10 profit. The selling of school books and school supplies by
11 schools at retail to students is not "primarily for the
12 purposes of" the school which does such selling. This
13 paragraph does not apply to nor subject to taxation occasional
14 dinners, social, or similar activities of a person organized
15 and operated exclusively for charitable, religious, or
16 educational purposes, whether or not such activities are open
17 to the public.
18 A person who is the recipient of a grant or contract under
19 Title VII of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (P.L. 92-258) and
20 serves meals to participants in the federal Nutrition Program
21 for the Elderly in return for contributions established in
22 amount by the individual participant pursuant to a schedule of
23 suggested fees as provided for in the federal Act is not a
24 retailer under this Act with respect to such transactions.
25 Persons who engage in the business of transferring
26 tangible personal property upon the redemption of trading
SB2394 Enrolled - 711 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 stamps are retailers hereunder when engaged in such business.
2 The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
3 property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
4 being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
5 such tangible personal property at retail or a sale through a
6 bulk vending machine does not make such person a retailer
7 hereunder. However, any person who is engaged in a business
8 which is not subject to the tax imposed by the Retailers'
9 Occupation Tax Act because of involving the sale of or a
10 contract to sell real estate or a construction contract to
11 improve real estate, but who, in the course of conducting such
12 business, transfers tangible personal property to users or
13 consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and
14 which does not become real estate, under any provision of a
15 construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
16 agreement entered into with some other person arising out of
17 or because of such nontaxable business, is a retailer to the
18 extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
19 transferred. If, in such transaction, a separate charge is
20 made for the tangible personal property so transferred, the
21 value of such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the
22 amount so separately charged, but not less than the cost of
23 such property to the transferor; if no separate charge is
24 made, the value of such property, for the purposes of this Act,
25 is the cost to the transferor of such tangible personal
26 property.

9 retailer or its subsidiary, irrespective of whether such
10 place of business or agent or other representative is
11 located here permanently or temporarily, or whether such
12 retailer or subsidiary is licensed to do business in this
13 State. However, the ownership of property that is located
14 at the premises of a printer with which the retailer has
15 contracted for printing and that consists of the final
16 printed product, property that becomes a part of the final
17 printed product, or copy from which the printed product is

13 by all persons in this State under such contracts exceed
14 $10,000 during the preceding 4 quarterly periods ending on
15 the last day of March, June, September, and December. A
16 retailer meeting the requirements of this paragraph (1.1)
17 shall be presumed to be maintaining a place of business in

20 within this State by such persons were not sufficient to
21 meet the nexus standards of the United States Constitution
22 during the preceding 4 quarterly periods.

20 liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
21 under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
22 and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the
23 immediately preceding calendar year. The term "average monthly
24 tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's liabilities
25 under this Act, and under all other State and local occupation
26 and use tax laws administered by the Department, for the

3 amount set forth in subsection (b) of Section 2505-210 of the
4 Department of Revenue Law shall make all payments required by
5 rules of the Department by electronic funds transfer.
6 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
7 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
8 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
9 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
10 payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
11 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
12 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
13 with the permission of the Department.
14 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
15 transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
16 payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
17 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
18 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
19 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
20 requirements of this Section.
21 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
22 return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability
23 to the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
24 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
25 with the return for January, February, and March of a given
26 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
SB2394 Enrolled - 787 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 April, May, and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
2 such year; with the return for July, August, and September of a
3 given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
4 return for October, November, and December of a given year
5 being due by January 20 of the following year.
6 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
7 or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly
8 tax liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
9 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
10 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
11 of the following year.
12 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
13 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
14 monthly returns.
15 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
16 the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
17 case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
18 business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
19 this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
20 Act with the Department not more than one 1 month after
21 discontinuing such business.
22 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
23 selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
24 thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds
25 the selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
26 shall also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from
SB2394 Enrolled - 788 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which
2 he refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may
3 deduct the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
4 purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation
5 Tax, retailers' occupation tax, or use tax which such
6 serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
7 as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the tax to
8 be deducted shall previously have been remitted to the
9 Department by such serviceman. If the serviceman shall not
10 previously have remitted the amount of such tax to the
11 Department, he shall be entitled to no deduction hereunder
12 upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
13 Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also
14 include the total tax upon the selling price of tangible
15 personal property purchased for use by him as an incident to a
16 sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of
17 such tax to the Department when filing such return.
18 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
19 Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
20 return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
21 returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
22 Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
23 Acts on the one form.
24 Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
25 with the Department under separate registration hereunder,
26 such serviceman shall not file each return that is due as a
SB2394 Enrolled - 789 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
2 shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

17 47133 are binding on the State.
18 For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each
19 month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program
20 Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month

22 fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be
23 required for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation
24 fuel under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the
25 Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund. The Department shall only
26 pay moneys into the State Aviation Program Fund and the
SB2394 Enrolled - 790 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

12 the right to possess or control, or a license to use, but not
13 title to, tangible personal property for a fixed or
14 indeterminate term for consideration, regardless of the name

16 lease entered into merely as a security agreement that does
17 not involve a transfer of possession or control from the
18 lessor to the lessee.
19 On and after January 1, 2025, the term "sale", when used in
20 this Act, includes a lease.
21 "Purchaser" means anyone who, through a sale at retail,

3 within this State without first being registered as a reseller
4 pursuant to Section 2c or a retailer pursuant to Section 2a.
5 "Selling price" or the "amount of sale" means the
6 consideration for a sale valued in money whether received in
7 money or otherwise, including cash, credits, property, other
8 than as hereinafter provided, and services, but, prior to
9 January 1, 2020 and beginning again on January 1, 2022, not
10 including the value of or credit given for traded-in tangible
11 personal property where the item that is traded-in is of like
12 kind and character as that which is being sold; beginning
13 January 1, 2020 and until January 1, 2022, "selling price"
14 includes the portion of the value of or credit given for
15 traded-in motor vehicles of the First Division as defined in
16 Section 1-146 of the Illinois Vehicle Code of like kind and
17 character as that which is being sold that exceeds $10,000.
18 "Selling price" shall be determined without any deduction on
19 account of the cost of the property sold, the cost of materials
20 used, labor or service cost or any other expense whatsoever,
21 but does not include charges that are added to prices by
22 sellers on account of the seller's tax liability under this
23 Act, or on account of the seller's duty to collect, from the
24 purchaser, the tax that is imposed by the Use Tax Act, or,
25 except as otherwise provided with respect to any cigarette tax
26 imposed by a home rule unit, on account of the seller's tax
SB2394 Enrolled - 838 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 liability under any local occupation tax administered by the
2 Department, or, except as otherwise provided with respect to
3 any cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit on account of the
4 seller's duty to collect, from the purchasers, the tax that is

8 of the seller's tax liability under the Cigarette Tax Act, on
9 account of the sellers' duty to collect, from the purchaser,
10 the tax imposed under the Cigarette Use Tax Act, and on account
11 of the seller's duty to collect, from the purchaser, any
12 cigarette tax imposed by a home rule unit.
13 The provisions of this paragraph, which provides only for
14 an alternative meaning of "selling price" with respect to the
15 sale of certain motor vehicles incident to the contemporaneous
16 lease of those motor vehicles, continue in effect and are not
17 changed by the tax on leases implemented by Public Act 103-592
18 this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly.
19 Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, for any motor
20 vehicle, as defined in Section 1-146 of the Illinois Vehicle
21 Code, that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose
22 of leasing the vehicle for a defined period that is longer than
23 one year and (1) is a motor vehicle of the second division
24 that: (A) is a self-contained motor vehicle designed or
25 permanently converted to provide living quarters for
26 recreational, camping, or travel use, with direct walk through
SB2394 Enrolled - 839 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 access to the living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of
2 the van configuration designed for the transportation of not
3 less than 7 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross
4 vehicle weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor
5 vehicle of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of
6 sale" means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant
7 to the lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing
8 and all monthly or other regular payments charged over the
9 term of the lease. Also included in the selling price is any
10 amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased
11 vehicle that is not calculated at the time the lease is
12 executed, including, but not limited to, excess mileage
13 charges and charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that
14 occur in Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the
15 lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not
16 calculated at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who
17 purchased the motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by
18 the Use Tax Act on those amounts, and the retailer who makes
19 the retail sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor is not
20 required to collect the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to
21 pay the tax imposed by this Act on those amounts. However, the
22 lessor who purchased the motor vehicle assumes the liability
23 for reporting and paying the tax on those amounts directly to
24 the Department in the same form (Illinois Retailers'
25 Occupation Tax, and local retailers' occupation taxes, if
26 applicable) in which the retailer would have reported and paid
SB2394 Enrolled - 840 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 such tax if the retailer had accounted for the tax to the
2 Department. For amounts received by the lessor from the lessee
3 that are not calculated at the time the lease is executed, the
4 lessor must file the return and pay the tax to the Department
5 by the due date otherwise required by this Act for returns
6 other than transaction returns. If the retailer is entitled
7 under this Act to a discount for collecting and remitting the
8 tax imposed under this Act to the Department with respect to
9 the sale of the motor vehicle to the lessor, then the right to
10 the discount provided in this Act shall be transferred to the
11 lessor with respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any
12 amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased
13 vehicle that is not calculated at the time the lease is
14 executed; provided that the discount is only allowed if the
15 return is timely filed and for amounts timely paid. The
16 "selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or after
17 January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined period
18 of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the value of or
19 credit given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by
20 the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the value of or credit
21 given for traded-in tangible personal property owned by the
22 lessee, regardless of whether the trade-in value thereof is
23 assigned by the lessee to the lessor. In the case of a motor
24 vehicle that is sold for the purpose of leasing for a defined
25 period of longer than one year, the sale occurs at the time of
26 the delivery of the vehicle, regardless of the due date of any
SB2394 Enrolled - 841 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 lease payments. A lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation
2 Tax liability on the sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease
3 may not take a credit against that liability for the Use Tax
4 the lessor paid upon the purchase of the motor vehicle (or for
5 any tax the lessor paid with respect to any amount received by
6 the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that was not
7 calculated at the time the lease was executed) if the selling
8 price of the motor vehicle at the time of purchase was
9 calculated using the definition of "selling price" as defined
10 in this paragraph. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
11 Act to the contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make
12 all payments required under this paragraph to the Department
13 by electronic means in the manner and form as required by the
14 Department. This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor
15 vehicles for which, at the time the lease is entered into, the
16 term of the lease is not a defined period, including leases
17 with a defined initial period with the option to continue the
18 lease on a month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial
19 defined period.
20 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
21 construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
22 vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
23 agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
24 agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
25 which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
26 retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
SB2394 Enrolled - 842 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 occasional sale.
2 "Gross receipts" from the sales of tangible personal
3 property at retail means the total selling price or the amount
4 of such sales, as hereinbefore defined. In the case of charge
5 and time sales, the amount thereof shall be included only as
6 and when payments are received by the seller. In the case of
7 leases, except as otherwise provided in this Act, the amount
8 thereof shall be included only as and when gross receipts are
9 received by the lessor. Receipts or other consideration
10 derived by a seller from the sale, transfer or assignment of
11 accounts receivable to a wholly owned subsidiary will not be
12 deemed payments prior to the time the purchaser makes payment
13 on such accounts.
14 "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
15 "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
16 association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or
17 private corporation, limited liability company, or a receiver,
18 executor, trustee, guardian or other representative appointed
19 by order of any court.
20 The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
21 property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
22 being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
23 such tangible personal property at retail, or a sale through a
24 bulk vending machine, does not constitute engaging in a
25 business of selling such tangible personal property at retail
26 within the meaning of this Act; provided that any person who is
SB2394 Enrolled - 843 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 engaged in a business which is not subject to the tax imposed
2 by this Act because of involving the sale of or a contract to
3 sell real estate or a construction contract to improve real
4 estate or a construction contract to engineer, install, and
5 maintain an integrated system of products, but who, in the
6 course of conducting such business, transfers tangible
7 personal property to users or consumers in the finished form
8 in which it was purchased, and which does not become real
9 estate or was not engineered and installed, under any
10 provision of a construction contract or real estate sale or
11 real estate sales agreement entered into with some other
12 person arising out of or because of such nontaxable business,
13 is engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
14 property at retail to the extent of the value of the tangible
15 personal property so transferred. If, in such a transaction, a
16 separate charge is made for the tangible personal property so
17 transferred, the value of such property, for the purpose of
18 this Act, shall be the amount so separately charged, but not
19 less than the cost of such property to the transferor; if no
20 separate charge is made, the value of such property, for the
21 purposes of this Act, is the cost to the transferor of such
22 tangible personal property. Construction contracts for the
23 improvement of real estate consisting of engineering,
24 installation, and maintenance of voice, data, video, security,
25 and all telecommunication systems do not constitute engaging
26 in a business of selling tangible personal property at retail
SB2394 Enrolled - 844 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 within the meaning of this Act if they are sold at one
2 specified contract price.
3 A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
4 (or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
5 property at retail is a person engaged in the business of
6 selling tangible personal property at retail hereunder with
7 respect to such sales (and not primarily in a service
8 occupation) notwithstanding the fact that such person designs
9 and produces such tangible personal property on special order
10 for the purchaser and in such a way as to render the property
11 of value only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal
12 property so produced on special order serves substantially the
13 same function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
14 property that are sold at retail.
15 Persons who engage in the business of transferring
16 tangible personal property upon the redemption of trading
17 stamps are engaged in the business of selling such property at
18 retail and shall be liable for and shall pay the tax imposed by
19 this Act on the basis of the retail value of the property
20 transferred upon redemption of such stamps.
21 "Bulk vending machine" means a vending machine, containing
22 unsorted confections, nuts, toys, or other items designed
23 primarily to be used or played with by children which, when a

6 subsidiary, irrespective of whether such place of business or
7 agent is located here permanently or temporarily or whether
8 such retailer or subsidiary is licensed to do business in this
9 State.

20 watercraft, aircraft, and semitrailers, as defined in Section

7 98-583 this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly are
8 declaratory of existing law as to the meaning and scope of this
9 Act.
10 (b) Beginning on January 1, 2021, a remote retailer is
11 engaged in the occupation of selling at retail in Illinois for
12 purposes of this Act, if:

4 considered a retailer maintaining a place of business in this
5 State and is required to collect and remit the tax imposed
6 under this Act and all retailers' occupation tax imposed by

9 applicable returns for one year. At the end of that one-year
10 period, the retailer shall determine whether the retailer met
11 the criteria of either paragraph (1) or (2) for the preceding
12 12-month period. If the retailer met the criteria in either
13 paragraph (1) or (2) for the preceding 12-month period, he or
14 she is considered a retailer maintaining a place of business
15 in this State and is required to collect and remit all
16 applicable State and local retailers' occupation taxes and

19 remit the tax imposed under this Act determines that he or she
20 did not meet the criteria in either paragraph (1) or (2) during
21 the preceding 12-month period, then the retailer shall
22 subsequently determine on a quarterly basis, ending on the
23 last day of March, June, September, and December, whether he
24 or she meets the criteria of either paragraph (1) or (2) for

10 (b-5) For the purposes of this Section, neither the gross
11 receipts from nor the number of separate transactions for
12 sales of tangible personal property to purchasers in Illinois
13 that a remote retailer makes through a marketplace facilitator
14 shall be included for the purposes of determining whether he
15 or she has met the thresholds of subsection (b) of this Section
16 so long as the remote retailer has received certification from
17 the marketplace facilitator that the marketplace facilitator
18 is legally responsible for payment of tax on such sales.
19 (b-10) A remote retailer that is required to collect taxes
20 imposed under the Use Tax Act on retail sales made to Illinois
21 purchasers or a retailer maintaining a place of business in
22 this State that is required to collect taxes imposed under the
23 Use Tax Act on retail sales made to Illinois purchasers shall
24 be liable to the Department for such taxes, except when the
25 remote retailer or retailer maintaining a place of business in
26 this State is relieved of the duty to remit such taxes by
SB2394 Enrolled - 851 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 Act in accordance with this Section upon his or her gross
3 receipts from such sales.
4 (c) Marketplace facilitators engaged in the business of
5 selling at retail tangible personal property in Illinois.
6 Beginning January 1, 2021, a marketplace facilitator is

15 more separate transactions on its own behalf or on behalf
16 of marketplace sellers for the sale of tangible personal
17 property to purchasers in Illinois, regardless of whether
18 the marketplace facilitator or marketplace sellers for
19 whom such sales are facilitated are registered as
20 retailers in this State.
21 A marketplace facilitator who meets either paragraph (1)
22 or (2) of this subsection is required to remit the applicable
23 State retailers' occupation taxes under this Act and local
24 retailers' occupation taxes administered by the Department on
25 all taxable sales of tangible personal property made by the
26 marketplace facilitator or facilitated for marketplace sellers
SB2394 Enrolled - 852 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

4 procedures and requirements of this Act.
5 The marketplace facilitator shall determine on a quarterly
6 basis, ending on the last day of March, June, September, and
7 December, whether he or she meets the criteria of either
8 paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for the preceding
9 12-month period. If the marketplace facilitator meets the

11 he or she is considered a retailer maintaining a place of
12 business in this State and is required to remit the tax imposed
13 under this Act and all retailers' occupation tax imposed by
14 local taxing jurisdictions in Illinois, provided such local
15 taxes are administered by the Department, and to file all
16 applicable returns for one year. At the end of that one-year
17 period, the marketplace facilitator shall determine whether it
18 met the criteria of either paragraph (1) or (2) for the
19 preceding 12-month period. If the marketplace facilitator met
20 the criteria in either paragraph (1) or (2) for the preceding
21 12-month period, it is considered a retailer maintaining a
22 place of business in this State and is required to collect and
23 remit all applicable State and local retailers' occupation
24 taxes and file returns for the subsequent year. If at the end
25 of a one-year period a marketplace facilitator that was
26 required to collect and remit the tax imposed under this Act
SB2394 Enrolled - 853 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 determines that he or she did not meet the criteria in either
2 paragraph (1) or (2) during the preceding 12-month period, the

4 quarterly basis, ending on the last day of March, June,
5 September, and December, whether he or she meets the criteria
6 of either paragraph (1) or (2) for the preceding 12-month
7 period.
8 A marketplace facilitator shall be entitled to any
9 credits, deductions, or adjustments to the sales price
10 otherwise provided to the marketplace seller, in addition to
11 any such adjustments provided directly to the marketplace
12 facilitator. This Section pertains to, but is not limited to,
13 adjustments such as discounts, coupons, and rebates. In
14 addition, a marketplace facilitator shall be entitled to the
15 retailers' discount provided in Section 3 of the Retailers'
16 Occupation Tax Act on all marketplace sales, and the
17 marketplace seller shall not include sales made through a
18 marketplace facilitator when computing any retailers' discount
19 on remaining sales. Marketplace facilitators shall report and
20 remit the applicable State and local retailers' occupation
21 taxes on sales facilitated for marketplace sellers separately
22 from any sales or use tax collected on taxable retail sales
23 made directly by the marketplace facilitator or its
24 affiliates.
25 The marketplace facilitator is liable for the remittance
26 of all applicable State retailers' occupation taxes under this

2 Department on sales through the marketplace and is subject to
3 audit on all such sales. The Department shall not audit
4 marketplace sellers for their marketplace sales where a
5 marketplace facilitator remitted the applicable State and
6 local retailers' occupation taxes unless the marketplace
7 facilitator seeks relief as a result of incorrect information
8 provided to the marketplace facilitator by a marketplace
9 seller as set forth in this Section. The marketplace
10 facilitator shall not be held liable for tax on any sales made
11 by a marketplace seller that take place outside of the
12 marketplace and which are not a part of any agreement between a
13 marketplace facilitator and a marketplace seller. In addition,

17 place of business, having no prior commitment to the
18 retailer, agrees to purchase and makes payment for
19 tangible personal property at the retailer's place of
20 business, then the transaction shall be deemed an

16 board of appeals action, of real property not exempt from real
17 estate taxation, which real property was exempt from real
18 estate taxation for any portion of the immediately preceding
19 levy year, multiplied by the equalization factor issued by the

17 "Recovered tax increment value" means, except as otherwise
18 provided in this paragraph, the amount of the current year's
19 equalized assessed value, in the first year after a
20 municipality terminates the designation of an area as a

22 Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act in the Illinois
23 Municipal Code, previously established under the Industrial
24 Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, previously
25 established under the Economic Development Project Area Tax
26 Increment Act of 1995, or previously established under the

1 Economic Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, of
2 each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in
3 the redevelopment project area over and above the initial
4 equalized assessed value of each property in the redevelopment
5 project area. For the taxes which are extended for the 1997
6 levy year, the recovered tax increment value for a non-home
7 rule taxing district that first became subject to this Law for
8 the 1995 levy year because a majority of its 1994 equalized
9 assessed value was in an affected county or counties shall be
10 increased if a municipality terminated the designation of an
11 area in 1993 as a redevelopment project area previously
12 established under the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment
13 Act in the Illinois Municipal Code, previously established
14 under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois
15 Municipal Code, or previously established under the Economic
16 Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, by an amount

18 lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in the
19 redevelopment project area over and above the initial
20 equalized assessed value of each property in the redevelopment
21 project area. In the first year after a municipality removes a
22 taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property from a
23 redevelopment project area established under the Tax Increment
24 Allocation Redevelopment Act in the Illinois Municipal Code,
25 the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal
26 Code, or the Economic Development Area Tax Increment
SB2394 Enrolled - 935 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value" means the
2 amount of the current year's equalized assessed value of each
3 taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property removed
4 from the redevelopment project area over and above the initial
5 equalized assessed value of that real property before removal
6 from the redevelopment project area.
7 Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
8 rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
9 preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to
10 one plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and
11 the denominator of which is the current year's equalized
12 assessed value of all real property in the territory under the
13 jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy
14 year. For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
15 extension for the last preceding levy year, except for school
16 districts that reduced their extension for educational
17 purposes pursuant to Section 18-206, the highest aggregate
18 extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be
19 used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. The
20 denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
21 tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
22 limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
23 after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
24 limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
25 or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
26 case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
SB2394 Enrolled - 936 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
2 proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
3 specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
4 the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
5 In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum
6 approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the
7 limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that
8 generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for
9 that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the
10 voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county
11 clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for
12 tax year 2012.

19 Sec. 18-250. Additions to forfeited taxes and unpaid
20 special assessments; fee for estimate.
21 (a) When any property has been forfeited for taxes or
22 special assessments, the clerk shall compute the amount of
23 back taxes and special assessments, interest, statutory costs,
24 and printer's fees remaining due, with one year's interest on
25 all taxes forfeited, and enter them upon the collector's books
SB2394 Enrolled - 937 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 as separate items. Except as otherwise provided in Section
2 21-375, the aggregate so computed shall be collected in the
3 same manner as the taxes on other property for that year. The
4 county clerk shall examine the forfeitures, and strike all
5 errors and make corrections as necessary. For counties with
6 fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, interest added to
7 forfeitures under this Section shall be at the rate of 12% per
8 year. For counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants,
9 interest added to forfeitures under this Section shall accrue
10 at the rate of (i) 12% per year if the forfeiture is for a tax
11 year before tax year 2023 or (ii) 0.75% per month, or portion
12 thereof, if the forfeiture is for tax year 2023 or any tax year
13 thereafter.
14 (b) In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, taxes
15 first extended for prior years, or previously extended for
16 prior years for which application for judgment and order of
17 sale is not already pending, shall be added to the tax of the
18 current year, with interest and costs as provided by law.
19 Forfeitures shall not be so added, but they shall remain a lien
20 on the property upon which they were charged until paid or sold
21 as provided by law. There shall be added to such forfeitures
22 annually the same interest as would be added if forfeited
23 annually, until paid or sold, and the addition of each year's
24 interest shall be considered a separate forfeiture.
25 Forfeitures may be redeemed in the manner provided in Section
26 21-370 or 21-375. Taxes and special assessments for which
SB2394 Enrolled - 938 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 application for judgment and order of sale is pending, or
2 entered but not enforced for any reason, shall not be added to
3 the tax for the current year. However, if the taxes and special
4 assessments remain unpaid, the property, shall be advertised
5 and sold under judgments and orders of sale to be entered in
6 pending applications, or already entered in prior
7 applications, including judgments and orders of sale under
8 which the purchaser fails to complete his or her purchase.
9 (c) In counties with 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, on or
10 before January 1, 2001 and during each year thereafter, the
11 county clerk shall compute the amount of taxes on each
12 property that remain due or forfeited for any year prior to the
13 current year and have not become subject to Sections 20-180
14 through 20-190, and the clerk shall enter the same upon the
15 collector's warrant books of the current and all following
16 years as separate items in a suitable column. The county clerk
17 shall examine the collector's warrant books and the Tax
18 Judgment, Sale, Redemption and Forfeiture records for the
19 appropriate years and may take any other actions as the clerk
20 finds to be necessary or convenient in order to comply with
21 this subsection. On and after January 1, 2001, any taxes for
22 any year remaining due or forfeited against real property in
23 such county not entered on the current collector's warrant
24 books shall be deemed uncollectible and void, but shall not be
25 subject to the posting or other requirements of Sections
26 20-180 through 20-190.
SB2394 Enrolled - 939 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (d) In counties with 100,000 or more inhabitants, the
2 county clerk shall, when making the annual collector's books,
3 in a suitable column, insert and designate previous
4 forfeitures of general taxes by the word "forfeiture", to be
5 stamped opposite each property forfeited at the last previous
6 tax sale for general taxes and not redeemed or purchased
7 previous to the completion of the collector's books. The
8 collectors of general taxes shall stamp upon all bills
9 rendered and receipts given the information on the collector's
10 books regarding forfeiture of general taxes, and the stamped
11 notation shall also refer the recipient to the county clerk
12 for full information. The county clerk shall be allowed to
13 collect from the person requesting an estimate of costs of
14 redemption of a forfeited property, the fee provided by law.

17 Sec. 22-15. Service of notice. The purchaser or his or her
18 assignee shall give the notice required by Section 22-10 by
19 causing it to be published in a newspaper as set forth in
20 Section 22-20. In addition, the notice shall be served upon
21 owners who reside on any part of the subject property by
22 leaving a copy of the notice with those owners personally. The
23 notice must be served by a sheriff (or if he or she is
24 disqualified, by a coroner) of the county in which the
25 property, or any part thereof, is located or, by a person who
SB2394 Enrolled - 940 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 is licensed or registered as a private detective under the
2 Private Detective, Private Alarm, Private Security,

4 In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, if the
5 notice required by Section 22-10 is to be served by the
6 sheriff, no sale in error may be declared pursuant to Section
7 22-50 or subparagraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section 21-310
8 based upon the sheriff's failure to serve the notice in
9 accordance with this Section unless the notice and service
10 list for the first service attempt is delivered by the
11 purchaser or assignee to the sheriff at least 5 months prior to
12 the expiration of the period of redemption. Purchasers or
13 assignees may request that the sheriff make additional service
14 attempts to the same entities and locations, and the sheriff
15 may make those additional attempts within the noticing period
16 established in Section 22-10, but the sheriff's failure to
17 make such additional service attempts is not grounds for a
18 sale in error under Section 22-50 or subparagraph (5) of
19 subsection (a) of Section 21-310.
20 In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, if the
21 purchaser or assignee requests that the sheriff make an
22 additional service attempt upon an entity or to a location
23 that was not included on the service list for the first
24 attempt, then the purchaser or assignee must deliver the
25 notice and service list for the additional service attempt to
26 the sheriff at least 4 months before the expiration of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 941 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 period of redemption. If the purchaser or assignee delivers
2 the notice and service list for an additional service attempt
3 upon an entity or to a location that was not included on the
4 service list for the first attempt to the sheriff at least 4
5 months before the expiration of the period of redemption, then
6 the sheriff's failure to serve the notice in accordance with
7 this Section may be grounds for a sale in error under Section
8 22-50 but not under subparagraph (5) of subsection (a) of
9 Section 21-310. If the purchaser or assignee fails to deliver
10 the notice and service list for an additional service attempt
11 upon an entity or to a location that was not included on the
12 first service list to the sheriff at least 4 months prior to
13 the expiration of the period of redemption, then the sheriff's
14 failure to serve that additional notice in accordance with
15 this Section is not grounds for a sale in error under either
16 Section 22-50 or subparagraph (5) of subsection (a) of Section
17 21-310.
18 In counties of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants where a
19 taxing district is a petitioner for tax deed pursuant to
20 Section 21-90, in lieu of service by the sheriff or coroner the
21 notice may be served by a special process server appointed by
22 the circuit court as provided in this Section. The taxing
23 district may move prior to filing one or more petitions for tax
24 deed for appointment of such a special process server. The
25 court, upon being satisfied that the person named in the
26 motion is at least 18 years of age and is capable of serving

5 Sec. 22-40. Issuance of deed; possession.
6 (a) To obtain an order for issuance of tax deed, the
7 petitioner must provide sufficient evidence that:
8 (1) the redemption period has expired and the property
9 has not been redeemed;
10 (2) all taxes and special assessments which became due
11 and payable subsequent to the sale have been paid, unless
12 the county or its agent, as trustee pursuant to Section
13 21-90, is the petitioner;
14 (3) all forfeitures and sales which occur subsequent
15 to the sale are paid or redeemed, unless the county or its

19 all advancements of public funds under the police power

25 under this subsection (a), the court shall find that the
SB2394 Enrolled - 945 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 petitioner complied with those requirements and shall enter an
2 order directing the county clerk, on the production of the tax
3 certificate and a certified copy of the order, to issue to the
4 purchaser or its assignee a tax deed. The court shall insist on
5 strict compliance with Section 22-10 through 22-25. Prior to
6 the entry of an order directing the issuance of a tax deed, the
7 petitioner shall furnish the court with a report of
8 proceedings of the evidence received on the application for
9 tax deed and the report of proceedings shall be filed and made
10 a part of the court record.
11 (b) Except as provided in subsection (e), if taxes for
12 years prior to the year or years sold are or become delinquent
13 subsequent to the date of sale, the court shall find that the
14 lien of those delinquent taxes has been or will be merged into
15 the tax deed grantee's title if the court determines that the
16 tax deed grantee or any prior holder of the certificate of
17 purchase, or any person or entity under common ownership or
18 control with any such grantee or prior holder of the
19 certificate of purchase, was at no time the holder of any

15 the tax deed grantee or the grantee's successor in interest in
16 possession of the property and may enter orders and grant
17 relief as may be necessary or desirable to maintain the
18 grantee or the grantee's successor in interest in possession.
19 (d) The court shall retain jurisdiction to enter orders
20 pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this Section. Public
21 Act 92-223 This amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly
22 and Public Act 95-477 this amendatory Act of the 95th General
23 Assembly shall be construed as being declarative of existing
24 law and not as a new enactment.
25 (e) Prior to the issuance of any tax deed under this
26 Section, the petitioner must redeem all taxes and special
SB2394 Enrolled - 947 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

11 amended by changing Section 2 as follows:
12 (35 ILCS 630/2) (from Ch. 120, par. 2002)
13 Sec. 2. As used in this Article, unless the context
14 clearly requires otherwise:
15 (a) "Gross charge" means the amount paid for the act or
16 privilege of originating or receiving telecommunications in
17 this State and for all services and equipment provided in
18 connection therewith by a retailer, valued in money whether
19 paid in money or otherwise, including cash, credits, services,
20 and property of every kind or nature, and shall be determined
21 without any deduction on account of the cost of such
22 telecommunications, the cost of materials used, labor or

14 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
15 of channel termination points within Illinois and the
16 denominator of which is the total number of channel
17 termination points. Prior to January 1, 2004, any method
18 consistent with this paragraph or other method that reasonably
19 apportions the total charges for interstate inter-office
20 channels among the states in which channel terminations points
21 are located shall be accepted as a reasonable method to
22 determine the charges for that portion of the interstate
23 inter-office channel provided within Illinois for that period.
24 However, "gross charges" shall not include any of the

18 (6) Charges for telecommunications and all services
19 and equipment provided in connection therewith between a
20 parent corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries or
21 between wholly owned subsidiaries when the tax imposed
22 under this Article has already been paid to a retailer and
23 only to the extent that the charges between the parent
24 corporation and wholly owned subsidiaries or between
25 wholly owned subsidiaries represent expense allocation

1 for the corporation rendering such service.

24 and nontaxable services or telecommunications billed on a
25 combined basis shall be attributed to the taxable services
26 or telecommunications. The burden of proving nontaxable

7 (a) Any employee who becomes disabled, which disability is
8 the result of an injury or illness compensable under the
9 Illinois Workers' Compensation Act or the Illinois Workers'
10 Occupational Diseases Act, is entitled to a duty disability
11 benefit during the period of disability for which the employee
12 does not receive any part of salary, or any part of a
13 retirement annuity under this Article; except that in the case
14 of an employee who first enters service on or after June 13,
15 1997 and becomes disabled before August 18, 2005 (the
16 effective date of Public Act 94-621), a duty disability
17 benefit is not payable for the first 3 days of disability that
18 would otherwise be payable under this Section if the

1 disability in any measure resulted from any physical defect or
2 disease which existed at the time such injury was sustained or
3 such illness commenced, the duty disability benefit shall be
4 50% of salary.
5 Unless the employer acknowledges that the disability is a
6 result of injury or illness compensable under the Workers'
7 Compensation Act or the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act,
8 the duty disability benefit shall not be payable until the
9 issue of compensability under those Acts is finally
10 adjudicated. The period of disability shall be as determined
11 by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission or
12 acknowledged by the employer.
13 An employee in service before June 13, 1997 shall also
14 receive a child's disability benefit during the period of
15 disability of $10 per month for each unmarried natural or
16 adopted child of the employee under 18 years of age.
17 The first payment shall be made not later than one month
18 after the benefit is granted, and subsequent payments shall be
19 made at least monthly. The Board shall by rule prescribe for
20 the payment of such benefits on the basis of the amount of
21 salary lost during the period of disability.
22 (b) The benefit shall be allowed only if all of the
23 following requirements are met by the employee:
24 (1) Application is made to the Board.

3 health care professional appointed by the Board and found
4 to be in a disabled physical condition and shall be
5 re-examined at least annually thereafter during the
6 continuance of disability. The employee need not be
7 examined by a licensed health care professional appointed
8 by the Board if the attorney for the district certifies in
9 writing that the employee is entitled to receive
10 compensation under the Workers' Compensation Act or the
11 Workers' Occupational Diseases Act. The Board may require
12 other evidence of disability.
13 (c) The benefit shall terminate when:
14 (1) The employee returns to work or receives a
15 retirement annuity paid wholly or in part under this
16 Article;
17 (2) The disability ceases;
18 (3) The employee attains age 65, but if the employee
19 becomes disabled at age 60 or later, benefits may be
20 extended for a period of no more than 5 years after
21 disablement;
22 (4) The employee (i) refuses to submit to reasonable
23 examinations by licensed health care professionals
24 appointed by the Board, (ii) fails or refuses to consent
25 to and sign an authorization allowing the Board to receive
26 copies of or to examine the employee's medical and

1 hospital records, or (iii) fails or refuses to provide
2 complete information regarding any other employment for
3 compensation he or she has received since becoming
4 disabled; or
5 (5) The employee willfully and continuously refuses to
6 follow medical advice and treatment to enable the employee
7 to return to work. However, this provision does not apply
8 to an employee who relies in good faith on treatment by
9 prayer through spiritual means alone in accordance with
10 the tenets and practice of a recognized church or
11 religious denomination, by a duly accredited practitioner
12 thereof.
13 In the case of a duty disability recipient who returns to
14 work, the employee must make application to the Retirement
15 Board within 2 years from the date the employee last received
16 duty disability benefits in order to become again entitled to
17 duty disability benefits based on the injury for which a duty
18 disability benefit was theretofore paid.

9 The benefit is not payable for any disability which begins
10 during any period of unpaid leave of absence. No benefit shall
11 be allowed for any period of disability prior to 30 days before
12 application is made, unless the Board finds good cause for the
13 delay in filing the application. The benefit shall not be paid
14 during any period for which the employee receives or is
15 entitled to receive any part of salary.
16 The benefit is not payable for any disability which begins
17 during any period of absence from duty other than allowable
18 vacation time in any calendar year. An employee whose
19 disability begins during any such ineligible period of absence
20 from service may not receive benefits until the employee
21 recovers from the disability and is in service for at least 15
22 consecutive working days after such recovery.
23 In the case of an employee who first enters service on or
24 after June 13, 1997, an ordinary disability benefit is not

5 changing multiple versions of Section 10.25 as follows:
6 (50 ILCS 705/8.2)
7 Sec. 8.2. Part-time law enforcement officers.
8 (a) A person hired to serve as a part-time law enforcement
9 officer must obtain from the Board a certificate (i) attesting
10 to the officer's successful completion of the part-time police
11 training course; (ii) attesting to the officer's satisfactory
12 completion of a training program of similar content and number
13 of hours that has been found acceptable by the Board under the
14 provisions of this Act; or (iii) a training waiver attesting
15 to the Board's determination that the part-time police
16 training course is unnecessary because of the person's prior
17 law enforcement experience obtained in Illinois, in any other
18 state, or with an agency of the federal government. A person
19 hired on or after March 14, 2002 (the effective date of Public
20 Act 92-533) this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly
21 must obtain this certificate within 18 months after the
22 initial date of hire as a probationary part-time law
23 enforcement officer in the State of Illinois. The probationary
24 part-time law enforcement officer must be enrolled and
SB2394 Enrolled - 982 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 accepted into a Board-approved course within 6 months after
2 active employment by any department in the State. A person
3 hired on or after January 1, 1996 and before March 14, 2002
4 (the effective date of Public Act 92-533) this amendatory Act
5 of the 92nd General Assembly must obtain this certificate
6 within 18 months after the date of hire. A person hired before
7 January 1, 1996 must obtain this certificate within 24 months
8 after January 1, 1996 (the effective date of Public Act
9 89-170) this amendatory Act of 1995. Agencies seeking a
10 reciprocity waiver for training completed outside of Illinois
11 must conduct a thorough background check and provide
12 verification of the officer's prior training. After review and
13 satisfaction of all requested conditions, the officer shall be
14 awarded an equivalency certificate satisfying the requirements
15 of this Section. Within 60 days after January 1, 2024 (the
16 effective date of Public Act 103-389) this amendatory Act of
17 the 103rd General Assembly, the Board shall adopt uniform
18 rules providing for a waiver process for a person previously
19 employed and qualified as a law enforcement or county
20 corrections officer under federal law or the laws of any other
21 state, or who has completed a basic law enforcement officer or
22 correctional officer academy who would be qualified to be
23 employed as a law enforcement officer or correctional officer
24 by the federal government or any other state. These rules
25 shall address the process for evaluating prior training
26 credit, a description and list of the courses typically
SB2394 Enrolled - 983 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 required for reciprocity candidates to complete prior to
2 taking the exam, and a procedure for employers seeking a
3 pre-activation determination for a reciprocity training
4 waiver. The rules shall provide that any eligible person
5 previously trained as a law enforcement or county corrections
6 officer under federal law or the laws of any other state shall
7 successfully complete the following prior to the approval of a
8 waiver:
9 (1) a training program or set of coursework approved
10 by the Board on the laws of this State relevant to the
11 duties and training requirements of law enforcement and
12 county correctional officers;
13 (2) firearms training; and
14 (3) successful passage of the equivalency
15 certification examination.
16 The employing agency may seek an extension waiver from the
17 Board extending the period for compliance. An extension waiver
18 shall be issued only for good and justifiable reasons, and the
19 probationary part-time law enforcement officer may not
20 practice as a part-time law enforcement officer during the
21 extension waiver period. If training is required and not
22 completed within the applicable time period, as extended by
23 any waiver that may be granted, then the officer must forfeit
24 the officer's position.
25 An individual who is not certified by the Board or whose
26 certified status is inactive shall not function as a law
SB2394 Enrolled - 984 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 enforcement officer, be assigned the duties of a law
2 enforcement officer by an agency, or be authorized to carry
3 firearms under the authority of the employer, except that
4 sheriffs who are elected are exempt from the requirement of
5 certified status. Failure to be in accordance with this Act
6 shall cause the officer to forfeit the officer's position.
7 (a-5) A part-time probationary law enforcement officer
8 shall be allowed to complete 6 six months of a part-time police
9 training course and function as a law enforcement officer as
10 permitted by this subsection with a waiver from the Board,
11 provided the part-time law enforcement officer is still
12 enrolled in the training course. If the part-time probationary
13 law enforcement officer withdraws from the course for any
14 reason or does not complete the course within the applicable
15 time period, as extended by any waiver that may be granted,
16 then the officer must forfeit the officer's position. A
17 probationary law enforcement officer must function under the
18 following rules:
19 (1) A law enforcement agency may not grant a person
20 status as a law enforcement officer unless the person has
21 been granted an active law enforcement officer
22 certification by the Board.
23 (2) A part-time probationary law enforcement officer
24 shall not be used as a permanent replacement for a
25 full-time law enforcement officer.
26 (3) A part-time probationary law enforcement officer
SB2394 Enrolled - 985 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall be directly supervised at all times by a
2 Board-certified Board certified law enforcement officer.
3 Direct supervision requires oversight and control with the
4 supervisor having final decision-making authority as to
5 the actions of the recruit during duty hours.
6 (b) Inactive status. A person who has an inactive law
7 enforcement officer certification has no law enforcement
8 authority.
9 (1) A law enforcement officer's certification becomes
10 inactive upon termination, resignation, retirement, or
11 separation from the employing agency for any reason. The
12 Board shall reactivate re-activate a certification upon
13 written application from the law enforcement officer's
14 employing agency that shows the law enforcement officer:
15 (i) has accepted a part-time law enforcement position with
16 that a law enforcement agency, (ii) is not the subject of a
17 decertification proceeding, and (iii) meets all other
18 criteria for reactivation re-activation required by the
19 Board.
20 The Board may refuse to reactivate re-activate the
21 certification of a law enforcement officer who was
22 involuntarily terminated for good cause by the officer's
23 employing agency for conduct subject to decertification
24 under this Act or resigned or retired after receiving
25 notice of a law enforcement agency's investigation.
26 (2) A law enforcement agency may place an officer who
SB2394 Enrolled - 986 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 is currently certified on inactive status by sending a
2 written request to the Board. A law enforcement officer
3 whose certificate has been placed on inactive status shall
4 not function as a law enforcement officer until the
5 officer has completed any requirements for reactivating
6 the certificate as required by the Board. A request for
7 inactive status in this subsection shall be in writing,
8 accompanied by verifying documentation, and shall be
9 submitted to the Board by the law enforcement officer's
10 employing agency.
11 (3) Certification that has become inactive under
12 paragraph (2) of this subsection (b), shall be reactivated
13 by written notice from the law enforcement officer's law
14 enforcement agency upon a showing that the law enforcement
15 officer is: (i) employed in a part-time law enforcement
16 position with the same law enforcement agency, (ii) not
17 the subject of a decertification proceeding, and (iii)
18 meets all other criteria for reactivation re-activation
19 required by the Board. The Board may also establish
20 special training requirements to be completed as a
21 condition for reactivation re-activation.
22 The Board shall review a notice for reactivation from
23 a law enforcement agency and provide a response within 30
24 days. The Board may extend this review. A law enforcement
25 officer shall be allowed to be employed as a part-time law
26 enforcement officer while the law enforcement officer
SB2394 Enrolled - 987 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 reactivation waiver is under review.
2 A law enforcement officer who is refused reactivation
3 or an employing agency of a law enforcement officer who is
4 refused reactivation under this Section may request a
5 hearing in accordance with the hearing procedures as
6 outlined in subsection (h) of Section 6.3 of this Act.
7 (4) Notwithstanding paragraph (3) of this Section, a
8 law enforcement officer whose certification has become
9 inactive under paragraph (2) may have the officer's
10 employing agency submit a request for a waiver of training
11 requirements to the Board in writing and accompanied by
12 any verifying documentation. A grant of a waiver is within
13 the discretion of the Board. Within 7 days of receiving a
14 request for a waiver under this section, the Board shall
15 notify the law enforcement officer and the chief
16 administrator of the law enforcement officer's employing
17 agency, whether the request has been granted, denied, or
18 if the Board will take additional time for information. A
19 law enforcement agency or law enforcement officer, whose
20 request for a waiver under this subsection is denied, is
21 entitled to request a review of the denial by the Board.
22 The law enforcement agency must request a review within 20
23 days after the waiver being denied. The burden of proof
24 shall be on the law enforcement agency to show why the law
25 enforcement officer is entitled to a waiver of the
26 legislatively required training and eligibility
SB2394 Enrolled - 988 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 requirements.
2 (c) The part-time police training course referred to in
3 this Section shall be of similar content and the same number of
4 hours as the courses for full-time officers and shall be
5 provided by Mobile Team In-Service Training Units under the
6 Intergovernmental Law Enforcement Officer's In-Service
7 Training Act or by another approved program or facility in a
8 manner prescribed by the Board.
9 (d) Within 14 days, a law enforcement officer shall report
10 to the Board: (1) any name change; (2) any change in
11 employment; or (3) the filing of any criminal indictment or
12 charges against the officer alleging that the officer

14 Act.
15 (e) All law enforcement officers must report the
16 completion of the training requirements required in this Act
17 in compliance with Section 8.4 of this Act.
18 (e-1) Each employing agency shall allow and provide an
19 opportunity for a law enforcement officer to complete the
20 requirements in this Act. All mandated training shall be
21 provided for at no cost to the employees. Employees shall be
22 paid for all time spent attending mandated training.
23 (e-2) Each agency, academy, or training provider shall
24 maintain proof of a law enforcement officer's completion of
25 legislatively required training in a format designated by the
26 Board. The report of training shall be submitted to the Board
SB2394 Enrolled - 989 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 within 30 days following completion of the training. A copy of
2 the report shall be submitted to the law enforcement officer.
3 Upon receipt of a properly completed report of training, the
4 Board will make the appropriate entry into the training
5 records of the law enforcement officer.
6 (f) For the purposes of this Section, the Board shall
7 adopt rules defining what constitutes employment on a
8 part-time basis.
9 (g) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary,
10 the changes made to this Section by Public Act 102-694 this
11 amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly and Public Act
12 101-652 take effect July 1, 2022.

16 Section 370. The Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act
17 is amended by changing Section 15 as follows:
18 (50 ILCS 840/15) (was 50 ILCS 835/15)
19 (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2030)
20 Sec. 15. Regulation of small wireless facilities.
21 (a) This Section applies to activities of a wireless
22 provider within or outside rights-of-way.
SB2394 Enrolled - 993 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (b) Except as provided in this Section, an authority may
2 not prohibit, regulate, or charge for the collocation of small
3 wireless facilities.
4 (c) Small wireless facilities shall be classified as
5 permitted uses and subject to administrative review in
6 conformance with this Act, except as provided in paragraph (5)
7 of subsection (d) of this Section regarding height exceptions
8 or variances, but not subject to zoning review or approval if
9 they are collocated (i) in rights-of-way in any zone, or (ii)
10 outside rights-of-way in property zoned exclusively for
11 commercial or industrial use.
12 (d) An authority may require an applicant to obtain one or
13 more permits to collocate a small wireless facility. An
14 authority shall receive applications for, process, and issue
15 permits subject to the following requirements:
16 (1) An authority may not directly or indirectly
17 require an applicant to perform services unrelated to the
18 collocation for which approval is sought, such as in-kind
19 contributions to the authority, including reserving fiber,
20 conduit, or utility pole space for the authority on the
21 wireless provider's utility pole. An authority may reserve
22 space on authority utility poles for future public safety
23 uses or for the authority's electric utility uses, but a
24 reservation of space may not preclude the collocation of a
25 small wireless facility unless the authority reasonably
26 determines that the authority utility pole cannot
SB2394 Enrolled - 994 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 accommodate both uses.
2 (2) An applicant shall not be required to provide more
3 information to obtain a permit than the authority requires
4 of a communications service provider that is not a
5 wireless provider that requests to attach facilities to a
6 structure; however, a wireless provider may be required to
7 provide the following information when seeking a permit to
8 collocate small wireless facilities on a utility pole or
9 wireless support structure:
10 (A) site specific structural integrity and, for an
11 authority utility pole, make-ready analysis prepared
12 by a structural engineer, as that term is defined in
13 Section 4 of the Structural Engineering Practice Act
14 of 1989;
15 (B) the location where each proposed small
16 wireless facility or utility pole would be installed
17 and photographs of the location and its immediate
18 surroundings depicting the utility poles or structures
19 on which each proposed small wireless facility would
20 be mounted or location where utility poles or
21 structures would be installed;
22 (C) specifications and drawings prepared by a
23 structural engineer, as that term is defined in
24 Section 4 of the Structural Engineering Practice Act
25 of 1989, for each proposed small wireless facility
26 covered by the application as it is proposed to be
SB2394 Enrolled - 995 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 installed;
2 (D) the equipment type and model numbers for the
3 antennas and all other wireless equipment associated
4 with the small wireless facility;
5 (E) a proposed schedule for the installation and
6 completion of each small wireless facility covered by
7 the application, if approved;
8 (F) certification that the collocation complies
9 with paragraph (6) to the best of the applicant's
10 knowledge; and
11 (G) the wireless provider's certification from a
12 radio engineer that it operates the small wireless
13 facility within all applicable FCC standards.
14 (3) Subject to paragraph (6), an authority may not
15 require the placement of small wireless facilities on any
16 specific utility pole, or category of utility poles, or
17 require multiple antenna systems on a single utility pole;
18 however, with respect to an application for the
19 collocation of a small wireless facility associated with a
20 new utility pole, an authority may propose that the small
21 wireless facility be collocated on an existing utility
22 pole or existing wireless support structure within 200
23 feet of the proposed collocation, which the applicant
24 shall accept if it has the right to use the alternate
25 structure on reasonable terms and conditions and the
26 alternate location and structure does not impose technical
SB2394 Enrolled - 996 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 limits or additional material costs as determined by the
2 applicant. The authority may require the applicant to
3 provide a written certification describing the property
4 rights, technical limits, or material cost reasons the
5 alternate location does not satisfy the criteria in this
6 paragraph (3).
7 (4) Subject to paragraph (6), an authority may not
8 limit the placement of small wireless facilities mounted
9 on a utility pole or a wireless support structure by
10 minimum horizontal separation distances.
11 (5) An authority may limit the maximum height of a
12 small wireless facility to 10 feet above the utility pole
13 or wireless support structure on which the small wireless
14 facility is collocated. Subject to any applicable waiver,
15 zoning, or other process that addresses wireless provider
16 requests for an exception or variance and does not
17 prohibit granting of such exceptions or variances, the
18 authority may limit the height of new or replacement
19 utility poles or wireless support structures on which
20 small wireless facilities are collocated to the higher of:
21 (i) 10 feet in height above the tallest existing utility
22 pole, other than a utility pole supporting only wireless
23 facilities, that is in place on the date the application
24 is submitted to the authority, that is located within 300
25 feet of the new or replacement utility pole or wireless
26 support structure and that is in the same right-of-way
SB2394 Enrolled - 997 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 within the jurisdictional boundary of the authority,
2 provided the authority may designate which intersecting
3 right-of-way within 300 feet of the proposed utility pole
4 or wireless support structures shall control the height
5 limitation for such facility; or (ii) 45 feet above ground
6 level.
7 (6) An authority may require that:
8 (A) the wireless provider's operation of the small
9 wireless facilities does not interfere with the
10 frequencies used by a public safety agency for public
11 safety communications; a wireless provider shall
12 install small wireless facilities of the type and
13 frequency that will not cause unacceptable
14 interference with a public safety agency's
15 communications equipment; unacceptable interference
16 will be determined by and measured in accordance with
17 industry standards and the FCC's regulations
18 addressing unacceptable interference to public safety
19 spectrum or any other spectrum licensed by a public
20 safety agency; if a small wireless facility causes
21 such interference, and the wireless provider has been
22 given written notice of the interference by the public
23 safety agency, the wireless provider, at its own
24 expense, shall take all reasonable steps necessary to

1 facility and later powering up the small wireless
2 facility for intermittent testing, if necessary; the
3 authority may terminate a permit for a small wireless
4 facility based on such interference if the wireless
5 provider is not making a good faith effort to remedy
6 the problem in a manner consistent with the abatement
7 and resolution procedures for interference with public
8 safety spectrum established by the FCC including 47
9 CFR 22.970 through 47 CFR 22.973 and 47 CFR 90.672
10 through 47 CFR 90.675;
11 (B) the wireless provider comply with requirements
12 that are imposed by a contract between an authority
13 and a private property owner that concern design or
14 construction standards applicable to utility poles and
15 ground-mounted equipment located in the right-of-way;
16 (C) the wireless provider comply with applicable
17 spacing requirements in applicable codes and
18 ordinances concerning the location of ground-mounted
19 equipment located in the right-of-way if the
20 requirements include a waiver, zoning, or other
21 process that addresses wireless provider requests for
22 exception or variance and do not prohibit granting of
23 such exceptions or variances;
24 (D) the wireless provider comply with local code
25 provisions or regulations concerning undergrounding
26 requirements that prohibit the installation of new or
SB2394 Enrolled - 999 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the modification of existing utility poles in a
2 right-of-way without prior approval if the
3 requirements include a waiver, zoning, or other
4 process that addresses requests to install such new
5 utility poles or modify such existing utility poles
6 and do not prohibit the replacement of utility poles;
7 (E) the wireless provider comply with generally
8 applicable standards that are consistent with this Act
9 and adopted by an authority for construction and
10 public safety in the rights-of-way, including, but not
11 limited to, reasonable and nondiscriminatory wiring
12 and cabling requirements, grounding requirements,
13 utility pole extension requirements, acoustic
14 regulations, and signage limitations; and shall comply
15 with reasonable and nondiscriminatory requirements
16 that are consistent with this Act and adopted by an
17 authority regulating the location, size, surface area
18 and height of small wireless facilities, or the
19 abandonment and removal of small wireless facilities;
20 (F) the wireless provider not collocate small
21 wireless facilities on authority utility poles that
22 are part of an electric distribution or transmission
23 system within the communication worker safety zone of
24 the pole or the electric supply zone of the pole;
25 however, the antenna and support equipment of the
26 small wireless facility may be located in the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1000 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 communications space on the authority utility pole and
2 on the top of the pole, if not otherwise unavailable,
3 if the wireless provider complies with applicable
4 codes for work involving the top of the pole; for
5 purposes of this subparagraph (F), the terms
6 "communications space", "communication worker safety
7 zone", and "electric supply zone" have the meanings
8 given to those terms in the National Electric Safety
9 Code as published by the Institute of Electrical and
10 Electronics Engineers;
11 (G) the wireless provider comply with the
12 applicable codes and local code provisions or
13 regulations that concern public safety;
14 (H) the wireless provider comply with written
15 design standards that are generally applicable for
16 decorative utility poles, or reasonable stealth,
17 concealment, and aesthetic requirements that are
18 identified by the authority in an ordinance, written
19 policy adopted by the governing board of the
20 authority, a comprehensive plan, or other written
21 design plan that applies to other occupiers of the
22 rights-of-way, including on a historic landmark or in
23 a historic district;
24 (I) subject to subsection (c) of this Section, and
25 except for facilities excluded from evaluation for
26 effects on historic properties under 47 CFR
SB2394 Enrolled - 1001 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 1.1307(a)(4), reasonable, technically feasible, and
2 non-discriminatory design or concealment measures in a
3 historic district or historic landmark; any such
4 design or concealment measures, including restrictions
5 on a specific category of poles, may not have the
6 effect of prohibiting any provider's technology; such
7 design and concealment measures shall not be
8 considered a part of the small wireless facility for
9 purposes of the size restrictions of a small wireless
10 facility; this paragraph may not be construed to limit
11 an authority's enforcement of historic preservation in
12 conformance with the requirements adopted pursuant to
13 the Illinois State Agency Historic Resources
14 Preservation Act or the National Historic Preservation
15 Act of 1966, 54 U.S.C. Section 300101 et seq., and the
16 regulations adopted to implement those laws; and
17 (J) When a wireless provider replaces or adds a
18 new radio transceiver or antennas to an existing small
19 wireless facility, certification by the wireless
20 provider from a radio engineer that the continuing
21 operation of the small wireless facility complies with
22 all applicable FCC standards.
23 (7) Within 30 days after receiving an application, an
24 authority must determine whether the application is
25 complete and notify the applicant. If an application is
26 incomplete, an authority must specifically identify the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1002 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 missing information. An application shall be deemed
2 complete if the authority fails to provide notification to
3 the applicant within 30 days after when all documents,
4 information, and fees specifically enumerated in the
5 authority's permit application form are submitted by the
6 applicant to the authority. Processing deadlines are
7 tolled from the time the authority sends the notice of
8 incompleteness to the time the applicant provides the
9 missing information.
10 (8) An authority shall process applications as
11 follows:
12 (A) an application to collocate a small wireless
13 facility on an existing utility pole or wireless
14 support structure shall be processed on a
15 nondiscriminatory basis and deemed approved if the
16 authority fails to approve or deny the application
17 within 90 days; however, if an applicant intends to
18 proceed with the permitted activity on a deemed
19 approved basis, the applicant must notify the
20 authority in writing of its intention to invoke the
21 deemed approved remedy no sooner than 75 days after
22 the submission of a completed application; the permit
23 shall be deemed approved on the latter of the 90th day
24 after submission of the complete application or the
25 10th day after the receipt of the deemed approved
26 notice by the authority; the receipt of the deemed
SB2394 Enrolled - 1003 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 approved notice shall not preclude the authority's
2 denial of the permit request within the time limits as
3 provided under this Act; and
4 (B) an application to collocate a small wireless
5 facility that includes the installation of a new
6 utility pole shall be processed on a nondiscriminatory
7 basis and deemed approved if the authority fails to
8 approve or deny the application within 120 days;
9 however, if an applicant intends to proceed with the
10 permitted activity on a deemed approved basis, the
11 applicant must notify the authority in writing of its
12 intention to invoke the deemed approved remedy no
13 sooner than 105 days after the submission of a
14 completed application; the permit shall be deemed
15 approved on the latter of the 120th day after
16 submission of the complete application or the 10th day
17 after the receipt of the deemed approved notice by the
18 authority; the receipt of the deemed approved notice
19 shall not preclude the authority's denial of the
20 permit request within the time limits as provided
21 under this Act.
22 (9) An authority shall approve an application unless
23 the application does not meet the requirements of this
24 Act. If an authority determines that applicable codes,
25 local code provisions or regulations that concern public
26 safety, or the requirements of paragraph (6) require that
SB2394 Enrolled - 1004 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the utility pole or wireless support structure be replaced
2 before the requested collocation, approval may be
3 conditioned on the replacement of the utility pole or
4 wireless support structure at the cost of the provider.
5 The authority must document the basis for a denial,
6 including the specific code provisions or application
7 conditions on which the denial was based, and send the
8 documentation to the applicant on or before the day the
9 authority denies an application. The applicant may cure
10 the deficiencies identified by the authority and resubmit
11 the revised application once within 30 days after notice
12 of denial is sent to the applicant without paying an
13 additional application fee. The authority shall approve or
14 deny the revised application within 30 days after the
15 applicant resubmits the application or it is deemed
16 approved; however, the applicant must notify the authority
17 in writing of its intention to proceed with the permitted
18 activity on a deemed approved basis, which may be
19 submitted with the resubmitted application. Any subsequent
20 review shall be limited to the deficiencies cited in the
21 denial. However, this revised application cure does not
22 apply if the cure requires the review of a new location,
23 new or different structure to be collocated upon, new
24 antennas, or other wireless equipment associated with the
25 small wireless facility.
26 (10) The time period for applications may be further
SB2394 Enrolled - 1005 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 tolled by:
2 (A) the express agreement in writing by both the
3 applicant and the authority; or
4 (B) a local, State, or federal disaster
5 declaration or similar emergency that causes the
6 delay.
7 (11) An applicant seeking to collocate small wireless
8 facilities within the jurisdiction of a single authority
9 shall be allowed, at the applicant's discretion, to file a
10 consolidated application and receive a single permit for
11 the collocation of up to 25 small wireless facilities if
12 the collocations each involve substantially the same type
13 of small wireless facility and substantially the same type
14 of structure. If an application includes multiple small
15 wireless facilities, the authority may remove small
16 wireless facility collocations from the application and
17 treat separately small wireless facility collocations for
18 which incomplete information has been provided or that do
19 not qualify for consolidated treatment or that are denied.
20 The authority may issue separate permits for each
21 collocation that is approved in a consolidated
22 application.
23 (12) Collocation for which a permit is granted shall
24 be completed within 180 days after issuance of the permit,
25 unless the authority and the wireless provider agree to
26 extend this period or a delay is caused by make-ready work
SB2394 Enrolled - 1006 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 for an authority utility pole or by the lack of commercial
2 power or backhaul availability at the site, provided the
3 wireless provider has made a timely request within 60 days
4 after the issuance of the permit for commercial power or
5 backhaul services, and the additional time to complete
6 installation does not exceed 360 days after issuance of
7 the permit. Otherwise, the permit shall be void unless the
8 authority grants an extension in writing to the applicant.
9 (13) The duration of a permit shall be for a period of
10 not less than 5 years, and the permit shall be renewed for
11 equivalent durations unless the authority makes a finding
12 that the small wireless facilities or the new or modified
13 utility pole do not comply with the applicable codes or
14 local code provisions or regulations in paragraphs (6) and
15 (9). If this Act is repealed as provided in Section 90,
16 renewals of permits shall be subject to the applicable
17 authority code provisions or regulations in effect at the
18 time of renewal.
19 (14) An authority may not prohibit, either expressly
20 or de facto, the (i) filing, receiving, or processing
21 applications, or (ii) issuing of permits or other
22 approvals, if any, for the collocation of small wireless
23 facilities unless there has been a local, State, or
24 federal disaster declaration or similar emergency that
25 causes the delay.
26 (15) Applicants shall submit applications, supporting
SB2394 Enrolled - 1007 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 information, and notices by personal delivery or as
2 otherwise required by the authority. An authority may
3 require that permits, supporting information, and notices
4 be submitted by personal delivery at the authority's
5 designated place of business, by regular mail postmarked
6 on the date due, or by any other commonly used means,
7 including electronic mail, as required by the authority.
8 (e) Application fees are subject to the following
9 requirements:
10 (1) An authority may charge an application fee of up
11 to $650 for an application to collocate a single small
12 wireless facility on an existing utility pole or wireless
13 support structure and up to $350 for each small wireless
14 facility addressed in an application to collocate more
15 than one small wireless facility on existing utility poles
16 or wireless support structures.
17 (2) An authority may charge an application fee of
18 $1,000 for each small wireless facility addressed in an
19 application that includes the installation of a new
20 utility pole for such collocation.
21 (3) Notwithstanding any contrary provision of State
22 law or local ordinance, applications pursuant to this
23 Section must be accompanied by the required application
24 fee.
25 (4) Within 2 months after the effective date of this
26 Act, an authority shall make available application fees
SB2394 Enrolled - 1008 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 consistent with this subsection, through ordinance, or in
2 a written schedule of permit fees adopted by the
3 authority.
4 (5) Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the
5 contrary, an authority may charge recurring rates and
6 application fees up to the amount permitted by the Federal
7 Communications Communication Commission in its Declaratory
8 Ruling and Third Report and Order adopted on September 26,
9 2018 in WT Docket Nos. 17-70, 17-84 and cited as 33 FCC Rcd
10 9088, 9129, or any subsequent ruling, order, or guidance
11 issued by the Federal Communication Commission regarding
12 fees and recurring rates.
13 (f) An authority shall not require an application,
14 approval, or permit, or require any fees or other charges,
15 from a communications service provider authorized to occupy
16 the rights-of-way, for: (i) routine maintenance; (ii) the
17 replacement of wireless facilities with wireless facilities
18 that are substantially similar, the same size, or smaller if
19 the wireless provider notifies the authority at least 10 days
20 prior to the planned replacement and includes equipment
21 specifications for the replacement of equipment consistent
22 with the requirements of subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of
23 subsection (d) of this Section; or (iii) the installation,
24 placement, maintenance, operation, or replacement of micro
25 wireless facilities that are suspended on cables that are
26 strung between existing utility poles in compliance with
SB2394 Enrolled - 1009 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 applicable safety codes. However, an authority may require a
2 permit to work within rights-of-way for activities that affect
3 traffic patterns or require lane closures.
4 (g) Nothing in this Act authorizes a person to collocate
5 small wireless facilities on: (1) property owned by a private
6 party or property owned or controlled by a unit of local
7 government that is not located within rights-of-way, subject
8 to subsection (j) of this Section, or a privately owned
9 utility pole or wireless support structure without the consent
10 of the property owner; (2) property owned, leased, or
11 controlled by a park district, forest preserve district, or
12 conservation district for public park, recreation, or
13 conservation purposes without the consent of the affected
14 district, excluding the placement of facilities on
15 rights-of-way located in an affected district that are under
16 the jurisdiction and control of a different unit of local
17 government as provided by the Illinois Highway Code; or (3)
18 property owned by a rail carrier registered under Section
19 18c-7201 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, Metra Commuter Rail or
20 any other public commuter rail service, or an electric utility
21 as defined in Section 16-102 of the Public Utilities Act,
22 without the consent of the rail carrier, public commuter rail
23 service, or electric utility. The provisions of this Act do
24 not apply to an electric or gas public utility or such
25 utility's wireless facilities if the facilities are being
26 used, developed, and maintained consistent with the provisions
SB2394 Enrolled - 1010 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 of subsection (i) of Section 16-108.5 of the Public Utilities
2 Act.
3 For the purposes of this subsection, "public utility" has
4 the meaning given to that term in Section 3-105 of the Public
5 Utilities Act. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to
6 relieve any person from any requirement (1) to obtain a
7 franchise or a State-issued authorization to offer cable
8 service or video service or (2) to obtain any required
9 permission to install, place, maintain, or operate
10 communications facilities, other than small wireless
11 facilities subject to this Act.
12 (h) Agreements between authorities and wireless providers
13 that relate to the collocation of small wireless facilities in
14 the right-of-way, including the collocation of small wireless
15 facilities on authority utility poles, that are in effect on
16 the effective date of this Act remain in effect for all small
17 wireless facilities collocated on the authority's utility
18 poles pursuant to applications submitted to the authority
19 before the effective date of this Act, subject to applicable
20 termination provisions. Such agreements entered into after the
21 effective date of the Act shall comply with the Act.
22 (i) An authority shall allow the collocation of small
23 wireless facilities on authority utility poles subject to the
24 following:
25 (1) An authority may not enter into an exclusive
26 arrangement with any person for the right to attach small
SB2394 Enrolled - 1011 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 wireless facilities to authority utility poles.
2 (2) The rates and fees for collocations on authority
3 utility poles shall be nondiscriminatory regardless of the
4 services provided by the collocating person.
5 (3) An authority may charge an annual recurring rate
6 to collocate a small wireless facility on an authority
7 utility pole located in a right-of-way that equals (i)
8 $270 per year or (ii) the actual, direct, and reasonable
9 costs related to the wireless provider's use of space on
10 the authority utility pole. Rates for collocation on
11 authority utility poles located outside of a right-of-way
12 are not subject to these limitations. In any controversy
13 concerning the appropriateness of a cost-based rate for an
14 authority utility pole located within a right-of-way, the
15 authority shall have the burden of proving that the rate
16 does not exceed the actual, direct, and reasonable costs
17 for the applicant's proposed use of the authority utility
18 pole. Nothing in this paragraph (3) prohibits a wireless
19 provider and an authority from mutually agreeing to an
20 annual recurring rate of less than $270 to collocate a
21 small wireless facility on an authority utility pole.
22 (4) Authorities or other persons owning or controlling
23 authority utility poles within the right-of-way shall
24 offer rates, fees, and other terms that comply with
25 subparagraphs (A) through (E) of this paragraph (4).
26 Within 2 months after the effective date of this Act, an
SB2394 Enrolled - 1012 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 authority or a person owning or controlling authority
2 utility poles shall make available, through ordinance or
3 an authority utility pole attachment agreement, license or
4 other agreement that makes available to wireless
5 providers, the rates, fees, and terms for the collocation
6 of small wireless facilities on authority utility poles
7 that comply with this Act and with subparagraphs (A)
8 through (E) of this paragraph (4). In the absence of such
9 an ordinance or agreement that complies with this Act, and
10 until such a compliant ordinance or agreement is adopted,
11 wireless providers may collocate small wireless facilities
12 and install utility poles under the requirements of this
13 Act.
14 (A) The rates, fees, and terms must be
15 nondiscriminatory, competitively neutral, and
16 commercially reasonable, and may address, among other
17 requirements, the requirements in subparagraphs (A)
18 through (I) of paragraph (6) of subsection (d) of this
19 Section; subsections (e), (i), and (k) of this
20 Section; Section 30; and Section 35, and must comply
21 with this Act.
22 (B) For authority utility poles that support
23 aerial facilities used to provide communications
24 services or electric service, wireless providers shall
25 comply with the process for make-ready work under 47
26 U.S.C. 224 and its implementing regulations, and the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1013 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 authority shall follow a substantially similar process
2 for make-ready work except to the extent that the
3 timing requirements are otherwise addressed in this
4 Act. The good-faith estimate of the person owning or
5 controlling the authority utility pole for any
6 make-ready work necessary to enable the pole to
7 support the requested collocation shall include
8 authority utility pole replacement, if necessary.
9 (C) For authority utility poles that do not
10 support aerial facilities used to provide
11 communications services or electric service, the
12 authority shall provide a good-faith estimate for any
13 make-ready work necessary to enable the authority
14 utility pole to support the requested collocation,
15 including pole replacement, if necessary, within 90
16 days after receipt of a complete application.
17 Make-ready work, including any authority utility pole
18 replacement, shall be completed within 60 days of
19 written acceptance of the good-faith estimate by the
20 applicant at the wireless provider's sole cost and
21 expense. Alternatively, if the authority determines
22 that applicable codes or public safety regulations
23 require the authority utility pole to be replaced to
24 support the requested collocation, the authority may
25 require the wireless provider to replace the authority
26 utility pole at the wireless provider's sole cost and
SB2394 Enrolled - 1014 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 expense.
2 (D) The authority shall not require more
3 make-ready work than required to meet applicable codes
4 or industry standards. Make-ready work may include
5 work needed to accommodate additional public safety
6 communications needs that are identified in a
7 documented and approved plan for the deployment of
8 public safety equipment as specified in paragraph (1)
9 of subsection (d) of this Section and included in an
10 existing or preliminary authority or public service
11 agency budget for attachment within one year of the
12 application. Fees for make-ready work, including any
13 authority utility pole replacement, shall not exceed
14 actual costs or the amount charged to communications
15 service providers for similar work and shall not
16 include any consultants' fees or expenses for
17 authority utility poles that do not support aerial
18 facilities used to provide communications services or
19 electric service. Make-ready work, including any pole
20 replacement, shall be completed within 60 days of
21 written acceptance of the good-faith estimate by the
22 wireless provider, at its sole cost and expense.
23 (E) A wireless provider that has an existing
24 agreement with the authority on the effective date of
25 the Act may accept the rates, fees, and terms that an
26 authority makes available under this Act for the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1015 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 collocation of small wireless facilities or the
2 installation of new utility poles for the collocation
3 of small wireless facilities that are the subject of
4 an application submitted 2 or more years after the
5 effective date of the Act as provided in this
6 paragraph (4) by notifying the authority that it opts
7 to accept such rates, fees, and terms. The existing
8 agreement remains in effect, subject to applicable
9 termination provisions, for the small wireless
10 facilities the wireless provider has collocated on the
11 authority's utility poles pursuant to applications
12 submitted to the authority before the wireless
13 provider provides such notice and exercises its option
14 under this subparagraph.
15 (5) Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the
16 contrary, an authority may charge recurring rates and
17 application fees up to the amount permitted by the Federal
18 Communications Communication Commission in its Declaratory
19 Ruling and Third Report and Order adopted on September 26,
20 2018 in WT Docket Nos. 17-70, 17-84 and cited as 33 FCC Rcd
21 9088, 9129, or any subsequent ruling, order, or guidance
22 issued by the Federal Communication Commission regarding
23 fees and recurring rates.
24 (j) An authority shall authorize the collocation of small
25 wireless facilities on utility poles owned or controlled by
26 the authority that are not located within rights-of-way to the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1016 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 same extent the authority currently permits access to utility
2 poles for other commercial projects or uses. The collocations
3 shall be subject to reasonable and nondiscriminatory rates,
4 fees, and terms as provided in an agreement between the
5 authority and the wireless provider.
6 (k) Nothing in this Section precludes an authority from
7 adopting reasonable rules with respect to the removal of
8 abandoned small wireless facilities. A small wireless facility
9 that is not operated for a continuous period of 12 months shall
10 be considered abandoned and the owner of the facility must
11 remove the small wireless facility within 90 days after
12 receipt of written notice from the authority notifying the
13 owner of the abandonment. The notice shall be sent by
14 certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, by the
15 authority to the owner at the last known address of the owner.
16 If the small wireless facility is not removed within 90 days of
17 such notice, the authority may remove or cause the removal of
18 the facility pursuant to the terms of its pole attachment
19 agreement for authority utility poles or through whatever
20 actions are provided for abatement of nuisances or by other
21 law for removal and cost recovery. An authority may require a
22 wireless provider to provide written notice to the authority
23 if it sells or transfers small wireless facilities subject to
24 this Act within the jurisdictional boundary of the authority.
25 Such notice shall include the name and contact information of
26 the new wireless provider.
SB2394 Enrolled - 1017 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (l) Nothing in this Section requires an authority to
2 install or maintain any specific utility pole or to continue
3 to install or maintain utility poles in any location if the
4 authority makes a non-discriminatory decision to eliminate
5 above-ground utility poles of a particular type generally,
6 such as electric utility poles, in all or a significant
7 portion of its geographic jurisdiction. For authority utility
8 poles with collocated small wireless facilities in place when
9 an authority makes a decision to eliminate above-ground
10 utility poles of a particular type generally, the authority
11 shall either (i) continue to maintain the authority utility
12 pole or install and maintain a reasonable alternative utility
13 pole or wireless support structure for the collocation of the
14 small wireless facility, or (ii) offer to sell the utility
15 pole to the wireless provider at a reasonable cost or allow the
16 wireless provider to install its own utility pole so it can

5 self-insurer for purposes of providing health insurance
6 coverage for its employees, the insurance coverage shall

8 Assembly, a diagnostic mammogram when medically necessary,
9 as determined by a physician licensed to practice medicine

11 or physician assistant.
12 A policy subject to this subsection shall not impose a
13 deductible, coinsurance, copayment, or any other cost-sharing
14 requirement on the coverage provided; except that this

17 health plan from eligibility for a health savings account

20 For purposes of this subsection:

11 (d-10) When health care services are available through

13 provisions specific to the use of contracted providers, the
14 requirements of subsection (d-5) are not applicable. When a
15 person does not comply with plan provisions specific to the
16 use of contracted providers, plan provisions specific to the
17 use of non-contracted providers must be applied without
18 distinction for coverage required by this Section and shall be
19 at least as favorable as for other radiological examinations
20 covered by the policy or contract.

12 deductible and coinsurance conditions applied to the
13 mastectomy, and all other terms and conditions applicable to
14 other benefits. When a mastectomy is performed and there is no

18 mastectomy. As used in this Section, "mastectomy" means the
19 removal of all or part of the breast for medically necessary
20 reasons, as determined by a licensed physician.
21 A county, including a home rule county, that is a
22 self-insurer for purposes of providing health insurance
23 coverage for its employees, may not penalize or reduce or
24 limit the reimbursement of an attending provider or provide
25 incentives (monetary or otherwise) to an attending provider to
26 induce the provider to provide care to an insured in a manner
SB2394 Enrolled - 1033 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

10 (d-25) If a county, including a home rule county, is a
11 self-insurer for purposes of providing health insurance
12 coverage, the insurance coverage shall include joint mental

17 this subsection shall be performed by a physician licensed to
18 practice medicine in all of its branches, a licensed clinical
19 psychologist, a licensed clinical social worker, a licensed
20 clinical professional counselor, a licensed marriage and
21 family therapist, a licensed social worker, or a licensed
22 professional counselor.
23 This subsection is a limitation under subsection (i) of

11 rules being adopted in accordance with all provisions of the

14 purported rule not so adopted, for whatever reason, is
15 unauthorized.
16 (h) If a county, including a home rule county, is a
17 self-insurer for purposes of providing health insurance
18 coverage for its employees, the insurance coverage shall
19 include, on and after June 1, 2025, mental health counseling
20 for any county employee who is a first responder without
21 imposing a deductible, coinsurance, copayment, or any other
22 cost-sharing requirement on the coverage provided, except that
23 this subsection does not apply to the extent such coverage
24 would disqualify a high-deductible health plan from
25 eligibility for a health savings account pursuant to Section
26 223 of the Internal Revenue Code.
SB2394 Enrolled - 1035 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

25 limit the reimbursement of an attending provider or provide
26 incentives (monetary or otherwise) to an attending provider to
SB2394 Enrolled - 1085 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 induce the provider to provide care to an insured in a manner
2 inconsistent with this Section.

21 psychologist, a licensed clinical social worker, a licensed
22 clinical professional counselor, a licensed marriage and

20 (70 ILCS 5/15.2) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 68.15b)
21 Sec. 15.2. An Airport Authority may construct office,
22 aircraft hangar and service buildings and appurtenant
23 facilities upon a public airport owned and operated by the
24 authority for the use and occupancy of the State Department of
SB2394 Enrolled - 1127 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 purpose. The rents and charges payable thereunder shall be not
3 greater than the total costs to the authority of constructing
4 and maintaining said airport improvements and of funding such
5 costs under the provisions of Sections 8.03, 8.04, 8.08, 15,
6 and 15.1, as amended, of this Act as hereinafter provided. The
7 rentals payable to the authority under such lease, together
8 with such non-tax revenues as are available to the authority,
9 shall also be adequate in amount for the authority to
10 establish and maintain a bond reserve account. Such lease
11 shall not be effective for a longer term than is reasonably
12 required to enable such funding to occur, and in no event shall
13 the term thereof exceed 30 thirty years. Such airport
14 improvements shall be constructed upon plans and
15 specifications approved by the Department of Transportation.
16 The lease of said improvements and the site thereof to the
17 State of Illinois shall be executed by the Department of

22 authority may lease such facilities to another lessee.
23 The authority may secure the funds required for the
24 construction of said improvements through the issuance and
25 sale of revenue bonds as authorized by and subject to the
26 conditions stated in said Sections 15 and 15.1 of this Act,
SB2394 Enrolled - 1128 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

3 public corporations to issue bonds, other evidences of
4 indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants subject to interest
5 rate limitations set forth therein", approved May 26, 1970, as
6 now or hereafter amended. Such revenue bonds shall be
7 primarily secured by the income receivable by the authority
8 under said lease. Other available and unpledged airport
9 operating income may be pledged by the authority to meet any
10 deficiency in the income from the lease in meeting the
11 principal and interest maturities of said revenue bonds and
12 the maintenance and depreciation requirements of said Section
13 15.1. The principal amount of such revenue bonds shall be
14 based upon the actual total costs of said improvements,
15 including costs of engineering and architects services, the
16 costs incidental to the issuance of the bonds, including legal
17 costs, the costs of selling and printing the bonds, and the
18 interest on the bonds during the time of construction.
19 Construction contracts for said improvements shall be awarded
20 upon competitive bids and such bids and the making of awards

24 Section 395. The Metropolitan Pier and Exposition
25 Authority Act is amended by changing Section 23.1 as follows:
SB2394 Enrolled - 1129 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (70 ILCS 210/23.1) (from Ch. 85, par. 1243.1)
2 Sec. 23.1. Affirmative action.
3 (a) The Authority shall, within 90 days after the
4 effective date of this amendatory Act of 1984, establish and
5 maintain an affirmative action program designed to promote
6 equal employment opportunity and eliminate the effects of past
7 discrimination. Such program shall include a plan, including
8 timetables where appropriate, which shall specify goals and
9 methods for increasing participation by women and minorities
10 in employment, including employment related to the planning,
11 organization, and staging of the games, by the Authority and
12 by parties which contract with the Authority. The Authority
13 shall submit a detailed plan with the General Assembly prior
14 to September 1 of each year. Such program shall also establish
15 procedures and sanctions, which the Authority shall enforce to
16 ensure compliance with the plan established pursuant to this
17 Section and with State and federal laws and regulations
18 relating to the employment of women and minorities. A
19 determination by the Authority as to whether a party to a
20 contract with the Authority has achieved the goals or employed
21 the methods for increasing participation by women and
22 minorities shall be determined in accordance with the terms of
23 such contracts or the applicable provisions of rules and
24 regulations of the Authority existing at the time such
25 contract was executed, including any provisions for
SB2394 Enrolled - 1130 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 consideration of good faith efforts at compliance which the
2 Authority may reasonably adopt.
3 (b) The Authority shall adopt and maintain minority-owned
4 and women-owned business enterprise procurement programs under
5 the affirmative action program described in subsection (a) for
6 any and all work, including all contracting related to the
7 planning, organization, and staging of the games, undertaken
8 by the Authority. That work shall include, but is not limited
9 to, the purchase of professional services, construction
10 services, supplies, materials, and equipment. The programs
11 shall establish goals of awarding not less than 25% of the
12 annual dollar value of all contracts, purchase orders, or
13 other agreements (collectively referred to as "contracts") to
14 minority-owned businesses and 5% of the annual dollar value of
15 all contracts to women-owned businesses. Without limiting the
16 generality of the foregoing, the programs shall require in
17 connection with the prequalification or consideration of
18 vendors for professional service contracts, construction
19 contracts, and contracts for supplies, materials, equipment,
20 and services that each proposer or bidder submit as part of his
21 or her proposal or bid a commitment detailing how he or she
22 will expend 25% or more of the dollar value of his or her
23 contracts with one or more minority-owned businesses and 5% or
24 more of the dollar value with one or more women-owned
25 businesses. Bids or proposals that do not include such
26 detailed commitments are not responsive and shall be rejected
SB2394 Enrolled - 1131 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 unless the Authority deems it appropriate to grant a waiver of
2 these requirements. In addition the Authority may, in
3 connection with the selection of providers of professional
4 services, reserve the right to select a minority-owned or
5 women-owned business or businesses to fulfill the commitment
6 to minority and woman business participation. The commitment
7 to minority and woman business participation may be met by the
8 contractor or professional service provider's status as a
9 minority-owned or women-owned business, by joint venture or by
10 subcontracting a portion of the work with or purchasing
11 materials for the work from one or more such businesses, or by
12 any combination thereof. Each contract shall require the
13 contractor or provider to submit a certified monthly report
14 detailing the status of that contractor or provider's
15 compliance with the Authority's minority-owned and women-owned
16 business enterprise procurement program. The Authority, after
17 reviewing the monthly reports of the contractors and
18 providers, shall compile a comprehensive report regarding
19 compliance with this procurement program and file it quarterly
20 with the General Assembly. If, in connection with a particular
21 contract, the Authority determines that it is impracticable or
22 excessively costly to obtain minority-owned or women-owned
23 businesses to perform sufficient work to fulfill the
24 commitment required by this subsection, the Authority shall
25 reduce or waive the commitment in the contract, as may be
26 appropriate. The Authority shall establish rules and
SB2394 Enrolled - 1132 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 regulations setting forth the standards to be used in
2 determining whether or not a reduction or waiver is
3 appropriate. The terms "minority-owned business" and
4 "women-owned business" have the meanings given to those terms
5 in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons
6 with Disabilities Act.
7 (c) The Authority shall adopt and maintain an affirmative
8 action program in connection with the hiring of minorities and
9 women on the Expansion Project and on any and all construction
10 projects, including all contracting related to the planning,
11 organization, and staging of the games, undertaken by the
12 Authority. The program shall be designed to promote equal
13 employment opportunity and shall specify the goals and methods
14 for increasing the participation of minorities and women in a
15 representative mix of job classifications required to perform
16 the respective contracts awarded by the Authority.
17 (d) In connection with the Expansion Project, the
18 Authority shall incorporate the following elements into its
19 minority-owned and women-owned business procurement programs
20 to the extent feasible: (1) a major contractors program that
21 permits minority-owned businesses and women-owned businesses
22 to bear significant responsibility and risk for a portion of
23 the project; (2) a mentor/protege program that provides
24 financial, technical, managerial, equipment, and personnel
25 support to minority-owned businesses and women-owned
26 businesses; (3) an emerging firms program that includes
SB2394 Enrolled - 1133 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 minority-owned businesses and women-owned businesses that
2 would not otherwise qualify for the project due to
3 inexperience or limited resources; (4) a small projects
4 program that includes participation by smaller minority-owned
5 businesses and women-owned businesses on jobs where the total
6 dollar value is $5,000,000 or less; and (5) a set-aside
7 program that will identify contracts requiring the expenditure
8 of funds less than $50,000 for bids to be submitted solely by
9 minority-owned businesses and women-owned businesses.
10 (e) The Authority is authorized to enter into agreements
11 with contractors' associations, labor unions, and the
12 contractors working on the Expansion Project to establish an

2 (a) In order to carry out any of the powers or purposes of
3 the Authority, the Board may, by ordinance adopted with the
4 concurrence of 12 of the then Directors, impose throughout the
5 metropolitan region any or all of the taxes provided in this
6 Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Act, taxes
7 imposed under this Section and civil penalties imposed
8 incident thereto shall be collected and enforced by the State
9 Department of Revenue. The Department shall have the power to
10 administer and enforce the taxes and to determine all rights
11 for refunds for erroneous payments of the taxes. Nothing in
12 Public Act 95-708 is intended to invalidate any taxes
13 currently imposed by the Authority. The increased vote
14 requirements to impose a tax shall only apply to actions taken
15 after January 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act
16 95-708).
17 (b) The Board may impose a public transportation tax upon
18 all persons engaged in the metropolitan region in the business
19 of selling at retail motor fuel for operation of motor
20 vehicles upon public highways. The tax shall be at a rate not
21 to exceed 5% of the gross receipts from the sales of motor fuel
22 in the course of the business. As used in this Act, the term
23 "motor fuel" shall have the same meaning as in the Motor Fuel
24 Tax Law. The Board may provide for details of the tax. The
25 provisions of any tax shall conform, as closely as may be
26 practicable, to the provisions of the Municipal Retailers
SB2394 Enrolled - 1271 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 to penalties with respect to the tax imposed and as to the
3 powers of the State Department of Revenue to promulgate and
4 enforce rules and regulations relating to the administration
5 and enforcement of the provisions of the tax imposed, except
6 that reference in the Act to any municipality shall refer to
7 the Authority and the tax shall be imposed only with regard to
8 receipts from sales of motor fuel in the metropolitan region,
9 at rates as limited by this Section.
10 (c) In connection with the tax imposed under paragraph (b)
11 of this Section, the Board may impose a tax upon the privilege
12 of using in the metropolitan region motor fuel for the
13 operation of a motor vehicle upon public highways, the tax to
14 be at a rate not in excess of the rate of tax imposed under
15 paragraph (b) of this Section. The Board may provide for
16 details of the tax.
17 (d) The Board may impose a motor vehicle parking tax upon

21 exemptions to the tax, for administration and enforcement
22 thereof and for civil penalties and refunds thereunder and may
23 provide criminal penalties thereunder, the maximum penalties
24 not to exceed the maximum criminal penalties provided in the
25 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. The Authority may collect and
26 enforce the tax itself or by contract with any unit of local
SB2394 Enrolled - 1272 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 government. The State Department of Revenue shall have no
2 responsibility for the collection and enforcement unless the

4 collection and enforcement. As used in this paragraph, the
5 term "parking facility" means a parking area or structure
6 having parking spaces for more than 2 vehicles at which motor
7 vehicles are permitted to park in return for an hourly, daily,
8 or other periodic fee, whether publicly or privately owned,
9 but does not include parking spaces on a public street, the use
10 of which is regulated by parking meters.
11 (e) The Board may impose a Regional Transportation
12 Authority Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged
13 in the business of selling tangible personal property at

8 "airport-related purpose" and the additional 0.50% of the
9 0.75% tax on aviation fuel is expended for airport-related

22 Sec. 1D-1. Block grant funding.
23 (a) For fiscal year 1996 and each fiscal year thereafter,
24 the State Board of Education shall award to a school district
SB2394 Enrolled - 1290 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 having a population exceeding 500,000 inhabitants a general
2 education block grant and an educational services block grant,
3 determined as provided in this Section, in lieu of
4 distributing to the district separate State funding for the
5 programs described in subsections (b) and (c). The provisions
6 of this Section, however, do not apply to any federal funds
7 that the district is entitled to receive. In accordance with
8 Section 2-3.32, all block grants are subject to an audit.
9 Therefore, block grant receipts and block grant expenditures
10 shall be recorded to the appropriate fund code for the
11 designated block grant.
12 (b) The general education block grant shall include the
13 following programs: REI Initiative, Summer Bridges, K-6
14 Comprehensive Arts, School Improvement Support, Urban
15 Education, Scientific Literacy, Substance Abuse Prevention,
16 Second Language Planning, Staff Development, Outcomes and
17 Assessment, K-6 Reading Improvement, 7-12 Continued Reading
18 Improvement, Truants' Optional Education, Hispanic Programs,
19 Agriculture Education, Report Cards, and Criminal Background
20 Investigations. The general education block grant shall also
21 include Preschool Education, Parental Training, and Prevention
22 Initiative through June 30, 2026. Notwithstanding any other
23 provision of law, all amounts paid under the general education
24 block grant from State appropriations to a school district in
25 a city having a population exceeding 500,000 inhabitants shall
26 be appropriated and expended by the board of that district for
SB2394 Enrolled - 1291 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 any of the programs included in the block grant or any of the
2 board's lawful purposes. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2018, at
3 least 25% of any additional Preschool Education, Parental
4 Training, and Prevention Initiative program funding over and
5 above the previous fiscal year's allocation shall be used to
6 fund programs for children ages 0-3. Beginning in Fiscal Year
7 2018, funding for Preschool Education, Parental Training, and
8 Prevention Initiative programs above the allocation for these
9 programs in Fiscal Year 2017 must be used solely as a
10 supplement for these programs and may not supplant funds
11 received from other sources.
12 (b-5) Beginning in Fiscal Year 2027, the Department of
13 Early Childhood shall award a block grant for Preschool
14 Education, Parental Training, and Prevention Initiative to a
15 school district having a population exceeding 500,000
16 inhabitants. The grants are subject to audit. Therefore, block
17 grant receipts and block grant expenditures shall be recorded
18 to the appropriate fund code for the designated block grant.
19 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all amounts paid
20 under the block grant from State appropriations to a school
21 district in a city having a population exceeding 500,000
22 inhabitants shall be appropriated and expended by the board of
23 that district for any of the programs included in the block
24 grant or any of the board's lawful purposes. The district is
25 not required to file any application or other claim in order to
26 receive the block grant to which it is entitled under this
SB2394 Enrolled - 1292 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Section. The Department of Early Childhood shall make payments
2 to the district of amounts due under the district's block
3 grant on a schedule determined by the Department. A school
4 district to which this Section applies shall report to the
5 Department of Early Childhood on its use of the block grant in
6 such form and detail as the Department may specify. In
7 addition, the report must include the following description
8 for the district, which must also be reported to the General
9 Assembly: block grant allocation and expenditures by program;
10 population and service levels by program; and administrative
11 expenditures by program. The Department shall ensure that the
12 reporting requirements for the district are the same as for
13 all other school districts in this State. Beginning in Fiscal
14 Year 2018, at least 25% of any additional Preschool Education,
15 Parental Training, and Prevention Initiative program funding
16 over and above the previous fiscal year's allocation shall be
17 used to fund programs for children ages 0-3. Beginning in
18 Fiscal Year 2018, funding for Preschool Education, Parental
19 Training, and Prevention Initiative programs above the
20 allocation for these programs in Fiscal Year 2017 must be used
21 solely as a supplement for these programs and may not supplant
22 funds received from other sources.
23 (c) The educational services block grant shall include the
24 following programs: Regular and Vocational Transportation,
25 State Lunch and Free Breakfast Program, Special Education
26 (Personnel, Transportation, Orphanage, Private Tuition),
SB2394 Enrolled - 1293 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 funding for children requiring special education services,
2 Summer School, Educational Service Centers, and
3 Administrator's Academy. This subsection (c) does not relieve
4 the district of its obligation to provide the services
5 required under a program that is included within the
6 educational services block grant. It is the intention of the
7 General Assembly in enacting the provisions of this subsection
8 (c) to relieve the district of the administrative burdens that
9 impede efficiency and accompany single-program funding. The
10 General Assembly encourages the board to pursue mandate
11 waivers pursuant to Section 2-3.25g.
12 The funding program included in the educational services
13 block grant for funding for children requiring special
14 education services in each fiscal year shall be treated in
15 that fiscal year as a payment to the school district in respect
16 of services provided or costs incurred in the prior fiscal
17 year, calculated in each case as provided in this Section.
18 Nothing in this Section shall change the nature of payments
19 for any program that, apart from this Section, would be or,
20 prior to adoption or amendment of this Section, was on the
21 basis of a payment in a fiscal year in respect of services
22 provided or costs incurred in the prior fiscal year,
23 calculated in each case as provided in this Section.
24 (d) For fiscal year 1996 and each fiscal year thereafter,
25 the amount of the district's block grants shall be determined
26 as follows: (i) with respect to each program that is included
SB2394 Enrolled - 1294 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 within each block grant, the district shall receive an amount
2 equal to the same percentage of the current fiscal year
3 appropriation made for that program as the percentage of the
4 appropriation received by the district from the 1995 fiscal
5 year appropriation made for that program, and (ii) the total
6 amount that is due the district under the block grant shall be
7 the aggregate of the amounts that the district is entitled to
8 receive for the fiscal year with respect to each program that
9 is included within the block grant that the State Board of
10 Education shall award the district under this Section for that
11 fiscal year. In the case of the Summer Bridges program, the
12 amount of the district's block grant shall be equal to 44% of
13 the amount of the current fiscal year appropriation made for
14 that program.
15 (e) The district is not required to file any application
16 or other claim in order to receive the block grants to which it
17 is entitled under this Section. The State Board of Education
18 shall make payments to the district of amounts due under the
19 district's block grants on a schedule determined by the State
20 Board of Education.
21 (f) A school district to which this Section applies shall
22 report to the State Board of Education on its use of the block
23 grants in such form and detail as the State Board of Education
24 may specify. In addition, the report must include the
25 following description for the district, which must also be
26 reported to the General Assembly: block grant allocation and
SB2394 Enrolled - 1295 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 expenditures by program; population and service levels by
2 program; and administrative expenditures by program. The State
3 Board of Education shall ensure that the reporting
4 requirements for the district are the same as for all other
5 school districts in this State.
6 (g) This paragraph provides for the treatment of block
7 grants under Article 1C for purposes of calculating the amount
8 of block grants for a district under this Section. Those block
9 grants under Article 1C are, for this purpose, treated as
10 included in the amount of appropriation for the various
11 programs set forth in paragraph (b) above. The appropriation
12 in each current fiscal year for each block grant under Article
13 1C shall be treated for these purposes as appropriations for
14 the individual program included in that block grant. The
15 proportion of each block grant so allocated to each such
16 program included in it shall be the proportion which the
17 appropriation for that program was of all appropriations for
18 such purposes now in that block grant, in fiscal 1995.
19 Payments to the school district under this Section with
20 respect to each program for which payments to school districts
21 generally, as of the date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd
22 General Assembly, are on a reimbursement basis shall continue
23 to be made to the district on a reimbursement basis, pursuant
24 to the provisions of this Code governing those programs.
25 (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any school
26 district receiving a block grant under this Section may
SB2394 Enrolled - 1296 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 classify all or a portion of the funds that it receives in a
2 particular fiscal year from any block grant authorized under
3 this Code or from general State aid pursuant to Section
4 18-8.05 of this Code (other than supplemental general State
5 aid) as funds received in connection with any funding program
6 for which it is entitled to receive funds from the State in
7 that fiscal year (including, without limitation, any funding
8 program referred to in subsection (c) of this Section),
9 regardless of the source or timing of the receipt. The
10 district may not classify more funds as funds received in
11 connection with the funding program than the district is
12 entitled to receive in that fiscal year for that program. Any
13 classification by a district must be made by a resolution of
14 its board of education. The resolution must identify the
15 amount of any block grant or general State aid to be classified
16 under this subsection (h) and must specify the funding program
17 to which the funds are to be treated as received in connection
18 therewith. This resolution is controlling as to the
19 classification of funds referenced therein. A certified copy
20 of the resolution must be sent to the State Superintendent of
21 Education. The resolution shall still take effect even though
22 a copy of the resolution has not been sent to the State
23 Superintendent of Education in a timely manner. No
24 classification under this subsection (h) by a district shall
25 affect the total amount or timing of money the district is
26 entitled to receive under this Code. No classification under
SB2394 Enrolled - 1297 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 this subsection (h) by a district shall in any way relieve the
2 district from or affect any requirements that otherwise would
3 apply with respect to the block grant as provided in this
4 Section, including any accounting of funds by source,
5 reporting expenditures by original source and purpose,
6 reporting requirements, or requirements of provision of
7 services.

19 Year 2018, at least 25% of any additional Preschool Education,
20 Parental Training, and Prevention Initiative program funding
21 over and above the previous fiscal year's allocation shall be
22 used to fund programs for children ages 0-3. Beginning in
23 Fiscal Year 2018, funding for Preschool Education, Parental
24 Training, and Prevention Initiative programs above the
25 allocation for these programs in Fiscal Year 2017 must be used
26 solely as a supplement for these programs and may not supplant
SB2394 Enrolled - 1300 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 funds received from other sources. (b-10).
2 (c) The educational services block grant shall include the

13 (c) to relieve the district of the administrative burdens that
14 impede efficiency and accompany single-program funding. The
15 General Assembly encourages the board to pursue mandate
16 waivers pursuant to Section 2-3.25g.
17 The funding program included in the educational services
18 block grant for funding for children requiring special
19 education services in each fiscal year shall be treated in
20 that fiscal year as a payment to the school district in respect
21 of services provided or costs incurred in the prior fiscal
22 year, calculated in each case as provided in this Section.
23 Nothing in this Section shall change the nature of payments

25 prior to adoption or amendment of this Section, was on the
26 basis of a payment in a fiscal year in respect of services
SB2394 Enrolled - 1301 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

5 follows: (i) with respect to each program that is included
6 within each block grant, the district shall receive an amount
7 equal to the same percentage of the current fiscal year
8 appropriation made for that program as the percentage of the
9 appropriation received by the district from the 1995 fiscal
10 year appropriation made for that program, and (ii) the total

22 is entitled under this Section. The State Board of Education
23 shall make payments to the district of amounts due under the
24 district's block grants on a schedule determined by the State
25 Board of Education.
26 (f) A school district to which this Section applies shall

13 calculating the amount of block grants for a district under
14 this Section. Those block grants under Article 1C are, for
15 this purpose, treated as included in the amount of
16 appropriation for the various programs set forth in paragraph
17 (b) above. The appropriation in each current fiscal year for
18 each block grant under Article 1C shall be treated for these
19 purposes as appropriations for the individual program included

21 allocated to each such program included in it shall be the
22 proportion which the appropriation for that program was of all
23 appropriations for such purposes now in that block grant, in

21 amount of any block grant or general State aid to be classified
22 under this subsection (h) and must specify the funding program
23 to which the funds are to be treated as received in connection
24 therewith. This resolution is controlling as to the

1 (b) Schools that receive Targeted Support or Comprehensive
2 Support designations shall enter a 4-year cycle of school
3 improvement status. If, at the end of the 4-year cycle, the
4 school fails to meet the exit criteria specified in the State
5 Plan referenced in subsection (b) of Section 2-3.25a of this
6 Code, the school shall escalate to a more intensive
7 intervention. Targeted Support schools that remain Targeted
8 for one or more of the same student groups as in the initial

10 School Improvement shall be redesignated as Comprehensive
11 Support schools, as provided in paragraph (2.5) of subsection
12 (a) of Section 2-3.25d-5 of this Code. Comprehensive Support
13 schools that remain in the lowest-performing 5% after
14 completion of a 4-year cycle of Comprehensive School
15 Improvement shall be redesignated as Intensive Support schools
16 and shall escalate through more rigorous, tiered support,
17 developed in consultation with the Balanced Accountability
18 Measure Committee and other relevant stakeholder groups, which
19 may ultimately result in the (i) change of recognition status
20 of the school district or school to nonrecognized or (ii)
21 authorization for the State Superintendent of Education to
22 direct the reassignment of pupils or direct the reassignment
23 or replacement of school or school district personnel. If a
24 school district is nonrecognized in its entirety, for any

16 develop other categories of low-performing schools and school
17 districts to receive services.
18 The State Board of Education shall work with districts
19 with one or more schools in Comprehensive or Intensive School
20 Improvement Status, through technical assistance and
21 professional development, based on the results of the needs
22 assessment under Section 2-3.25d-5 of this Code, to develop
23 and implement a continuous improvement plan that would
24 increase outcomes for students. The plan for continuous
25 improvement shall be based on the results of the needs
26 assessment and shall be used to determine the types of
SB2394 Enrolled - 1307 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 services that are to be provided to each Comprehensive and
2 Intensive School. Potential services may include, but are not

3 principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend
4 students guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct, or to
5 suspend students guilty of gross disobedience or misconduct on
6 the school bus from riding the school bus, pursuant to
7 subsections (b-15) and (b-20) of this Section, and no action
8 shall lie against them for such suspension. The board may by
9 policy authorize the superintendent of the district or the
10 principal, assistant principal, or dean of students of any
11 school to suspend students guilty of such acts for a period not
12 to exceed 10 school days. If a student is suspended due to
13 gross disobedience or misconduct on a school bus, the board
14 may suspend the student in excess of 10 school days for safety
15 reasons.
16 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the
17 parents or guardian of a student along with a full statement of
18 the reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right to
19 a review. The school board must be given a summary of the
20 notice, including the reason for the suspension and the
21 suspension length. Upon request of the parents or guardian,
22 the school board or a hearing officer appointed by it shall
23 review such action of the superintendent or principal,
24 assistant principal, or dean of students. At such review, the
25 parents or guardian of the student may appear and discuss the
26 suspension with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing
SB2394 Enrolled - 1343 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 officer is appointed by the board, he shall report to the board
2 a written summary of the evidence heard at the meeting. After
3 its hearing or upon receipt of the written report of its
4 hearing officer, the board may take such action as it finds
5 appropriate. If a student is suspended pursuant to this
6 subsection (b), the board shall, in the written suspension
7 decision, detail the specific act of gross disobedience or
8 misconduct resulting in the decision to suspend. The
9 suspension decision shall also include a rationale as to the
10 specific duration of the suspension.
11 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions
12 and consequences available to school officials, school
13 exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions,
14 are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
15 and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
16 extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them
17 only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that
18 students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is
19 recommended that school officials consider forms of
20 non-exclusionary discipline prior to using out-of-school
21 suspensions or expulsions.
22 (b-10) Unless otherwise required by federal law or this
23 Code, school boards may not institute zero-tolerance policies
24 by which school administrators are required to suspend or
25 expel students for particular behaviors.
26 (b-15) Out-of-school suspensions of 3 days or less may be
SB2394 Enrolled - 1344 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 used only if the student's continuing presence in school would
2 pose a threat to school safety or a disruption to other
3 students' learning opportunities. For purposes of this
4 subsection (b-15), "threat to school safety or a disruption to
5 other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on
6 a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee.
7 School officials shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve
8 such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the
9 length of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.
10 (b-20) Unless otherwise required by this Code,
11 out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions,
12 and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used
13 only if other appropriate and available behavioral and
14 disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the
15 student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose
16 a threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of
17 the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or
18 interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of
19 this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other
20 students, staff, or members of the school community" and
21 "substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the
22 operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case
23 basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection
24 (b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and
25 available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been
26 exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials
SB2394 Enrolled - 1345 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats,
2 address such disruptions, and minimize the length of student
3 exclusions to the greatest extent practicable. Within the
4 suspension decision described in subsection (b) of this
5 Section or the expulsion decision described in subsection (a)
6 of this Section, it shall be documented whether other
7 interventions were attempted or whether it was determined that
8 there were no other appropriate and available interventions.
9 (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer
10 than 3 school days shall be provided appropriate and available
11 support services during the period of their suspension. For
12 purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available
13 support services" shall be determined by school authorities.
14 Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of
15 this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are
16 to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no
17 such appropriate and available services.
18 A school district may refer students who are expelled to
19 appropriate and available support services.
20 A school district shall create a policy to facilitate the
21 re-engagement of students who are suspended out-of-school,
22 expelled, or returning from an alternative school setting. In
23 consultation with stakeholders deemed appropriate by the State
24 Board of Education, the State Board of Education shall draft
25 and publish guidance for the re-engagement of students who are
26 suspended out-of-school, expelled, or returning from an
SB2394 Enrolled - 1346 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 alternative school setting in accordance with this Section and
2 Section 13A-4 on or before July 1, 2025.
3 (b-30) A school district shall create a policy by which
4 suspended students, including those students suspended from
5 the school bus who do not have alternate transportation to
6 school, shall have the opportunity to make up work for
7 equivalent academic credit. It shall be the responsibility of
8 a student's parent or guardian to notify school officials that
9 a student suspended from the school bus does not have
10 alternate transportation to school.
11 (c) A school board must invite a representative from a
12 local mental health agency to consult with the board at the
13 meeting whenever there is evidence that mental illness may be
14 the cause of a student's expulsion or suspension.
15 (c-5) School districts shall make reasonable efforts to
16 provide ongoing professional development to all school
17 personnel, school board members, and school resource officers,
18 on the requirements of this Section and Section 10-20.14, the
19 adverse consequences of school exclusion and justice-system
20 involvement, effective classroom management strategies,
21 culturally responsive discipline, trauma-responsive learning
22 environments, as defined in subsection (b) of Section 3-11,
23 the appropriate and available supportive services for the
24 promotion of student attendance and engagement, and
25 developmentally appropriate disciplinary methods that promote
26 positive and healthy school climates.
SB2394 Enrolled - 1347 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of
2 time not to exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a
3 case-by-case basis. A student who is determined to have
4 brought one of the following objects to school, any
5 school-sponsored activity or event, or any activity or event
6 that bears a reasonable relationship to school shall be
7 expelled for a period of not less than one year:
8 (1) A firearm. For the purposes of this Section,
9 "firearm" means any gun, rifle, shotgun, weapon as defined
10 by Section 921 of Title 18 of the United States Code,
11 firearm as defined in Section 1.1 of the Firearm Owners
12 Identification Card Act, or firearm as defined in Section
13 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012. The expulsion period
14 under this subdivision (1) may be modified by the
15 superintendent, and the superintendent's determination may
16 be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis.
17 (2) A knife, brass knuckles or other knuckle weapon
18 regardless of its composition, a billy club, or any other
19 object if used or attempted to be used to cause bodily
20 harm, including "look alikes" of any firearm as defined in
21 subdivision (1) of this subsection (d). The expulsion
22 requirement under this subdivision (2) may be modified by
23 the superintendent, and the superintendent's determination
24 may be modified by the board on a case-by-case basis.
25 Expulsion or suspension shall be construed in a manner
26 consistent with the federal Individuals with Disabilities
SB2394 Enrolled - 1348 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Education Act. A student who is subject to suspension or
2 expulsion as provided in this Section may be eligible for a
3 transfer to an alternative school program in accordance with
4 Article 13A of the School Code.
5 (d-5) The board may suspend or by regulation authorize the
6 superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
7 principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend a
8 student for a period not to exceed 10 school days or may expel
9 a student for a definite period of time not to exceed 2
10 calendar years, as determined on a case-by-case basis, if (i)
11 that student has been determined to have made an explicit
12 threat on an Internet website against a school employee, a
13 student, or any school-related personnel, (ii) the Internet
14 website through which the threat was made is a site that was
15 accessible within the school at the time the threat was made or
16 was available to third parties who worked or studied within
17 the school grounds at the time the threat was made, and (iii)
18 the threat could be reasonably interpreted as threatening to
19 the safety and security of the threatened individual because
20 of the individual's duties or employment status or status as a
21 student inside the school.
22 (e) To maintain order and security in the schools, school
23 authorities may inspect and search places and areas such as
24 lockers, desks, parking lots, and other school property and
25 equipment owned or controlled by the school, as well as
26 personal effects left in those places and areas by students,
SB2394 Enrolled - 1349 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 without notice to or the consent of the student, and without a
2 search warrant. As a matter of public policy, the General
3 Assembly finds that students have no reasonable expectation of
4 privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects
5 left in these places and areas. School authorities may request
6 the assistance of law enforcement officials for the purpose of
7 conducting inspections and searches of lockers, desks, parking
8 lots, and other school property and equipment owned or
9 controlled by the school for illegal drugs, weapons, or other
10 illegal or dangerous substances or materials, including
11 searches conducted through the use of specially trained dogs.
12 If a search conducted in accordance with this Section produces
13 evidence that the student has violated or is violating either
14 the law, local ordinance, or the school's policies or rules,
15 such evidence may be seized by school authorities, and
16 disciplinary action may be taken. School authorities may also
17 turn over such evidence to law enforcement authorities.
18 (f) Suspension or expulsion may include suspension or
19 expulsion from school and all school activities and a
20 prohibition from being present on school grounds.
21 (g) A school district may adopt a policy providing that if
22 a student is suspended or expelled for any reason from any
23 public or private school in this or any other state, the
24 student must complete the entire term of the suspension or
25 expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A
26 of this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
SB2394 Enrolled - 1350 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the
2 school district if there is no threat to the safety of students
3 or staff in the alternative program.
4 (h) School officials shall not advise or encourage
5 students to drop out voluntarily due to behavioral or academic
6 difficulties.
7 (i) A student may not be issued a monetary fine or fee as a
8 disciplinary consequence, though this shall not preclude
9 requiring a student to provide restitution for lost, stolen,
10 or damaged property.
11 (j) Subsections (a) through (i) of this Section shall
12 apply to elementary and secondary schools, charter schools,
13 special charter districts, and school districts organized
14 under Article 34 of this Code.
15 (k) The expulsion of students enrolled in programs funded
16 under Section 1C-2 of this Code is subject to the requirements
17 under paragraph (7) of subsection (a) of Section 2-3.71 of
18 this Code.
19 (l) An in-school suspension program provided by a school
20 district for any students in kindergarten through grade 12 may
21 focus on promoting non-violent conflict resolution and
22 positive interaction with other students and school personnel.
23 A school district may employ a school social worker or a
24 licensed mental health professional to oversee an in-school
25 suspension program in kindergarten through grade 12.

9 expulsion. Expulsion shall take place only after the parents
10 or guardians have been requested to appear at a meeting of the
11 board, or with a hearing officer appointed by it, to discuss
12 their child's behavior. Such request shall be made by
13 registered or certified mail and shall state the time, place
14 and purpose of the meeting. The board, or a hearing officer
15 appointed by it, at such meeting shall state the reasons for
16 dismissal and the date on which the expulsion is to become
17 effective. If a hearing officer is appointed by the board, the
18 hearing officer shall report to the board a written summary of
19 the evidence heard at the meeting and the board may take such
20 action thereon as it finds appropriate. If the board acts to
21 expel a student, the written expulsion decision shall detail
22 the specific reasons why removing the student from the
23 learning environment is in the best interest of the school.
24 The expulsion decision shall also include a rationale as to
25 the specific duration of the expulsion. An expelled student
SB2394 Enrolled - 1352 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 may be immediately transferred to an alternative program in
2 the manner provided in Article 13A or 13B of this Code. A
3 student must not be denied transfer because of the expulsion,
4 except in cases in which such transfer is deemed to cause a
5 threat to the safety of students or staff in the alternative
6 program.
7 (b) To suspend or by policy to authorize the
8 superintendent of the district or the principal, assistant
9 principal, or dean of students of any school to suspend

15 policy authorize the superintendent of the district or the
16 principal, assistant principal, or dean of students of any
17 school to suspend students guilty of such acts for a period not
18 to exceed 10 school days. If a student is suspended due to
19 gross disobedience or misconduct on a school bus, the board
20 may suspend the student in excess of 10 school days for safety
21 reasons.
22 Any suspension shall be reported immediately to the
23 parents or guardians of a student along with a full statement
24 of the reasons for such suspension and a notice of their right
25 to a review. The school board must be given a summary of the
26 notice, including the reason for the suspension and the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1353 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 suspension length. Upon request of the parents or guardians,
2 the school board or a hearing officer appointed by it shall
3 review such action of the superintendent or principal,
4 assistant principal, or dean of students. At such review, the
5 parents or guardians of the student may appear and discuss the
6 suspension with the board or its hearing officer. If a hearing
7 officer is appointed by the board, he shall report to the board
8 a written summary of the evidence heard at the meeting. After
9 its hearing or upon receipt of the written report of its
10 hearing officer, the board may take such action as it finds
11 appropriate. If a student is suspended pursuant to this
12 subsection (b), the board shall, in the written suspension
13 decision, detail the specific act of gross disobedience or
14 misconduct resulting in the decision to suspend. The
15 suspension decision shall also include a rationale as to the
16 specific duration of the suspension.
17 (b-5) Among the many possible disciplinary interventions
18 and consequences available to school officials, school
19 exclusions, such as out-of-school suspensions and expulsions,
20 are the most serious. School officials shall limit the number
21 and duration of expulsions and suspensions to the greatest
22 extent practicable, and it is recommended that they use them
23 only for legitimate educational purposes. To ensure that
24 students are not excluded from school unnecessarily, it is
25 recommended that school officials consider forms of

11 other students' learning opportunities" shall be determined on
12 a case-by-case basis by the school board or its designee.
13 School officials shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve
14 such threats, address such disruptions, and minimize the
15 length of suspensions to the greatest extent practicable.
16 (b-20) Unless otherwise required by this Code,
17 out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions,
18 and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used
19 only if other appropriate and available behavioral and
20 disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the
21 student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose
22 a threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of
23 the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or
24 interfere with the operation of the school. For purposes of
25 this subsection (b-20), "threat to the safety of other
26 students, staff, or members of the school community" and
SB2394 Enrolled - 1355 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 "substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the

3 basis by school officials. For purposes of this subsection
4 (b-20), the determination of whether "appropriate and
5 available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been
6 exhausted" shall be made by school officials. School officials
7 shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve such threats,

14 there were no other appropriate and available interventions.
15 (b-25) Students who are suspended out-of-school for longer
16 than 3 school days shall be provided appropriate and available
17 support services during the period of their suspension. For
18 purposes of this subsection (b-25), "appropriate and available
19 support services" shall be determined by school authorities.
20 Within the suspension decision described in subsection (b) of
21 this Section, it shall be documented whether such services are
22 to be provided or whether it was determined that there are no
23 such appropriate and available services.
24 A school district may refer students who are expelled to

14 a student's parents or guardians to notify school officials
15 that a student suspended from the school bus does not have
16 alternate transportation to school.
17 (b-35) In all suspension review hearings conducted under
18 subsection (b) or expulsion hearings conducted under
19 subsection (a), a student may disclose any factor to be
20 considered in mitigation, including his or her status as a
21 parent, expectant parent, or victim of domestic or sexual
22 violence, as defined in Article 26A. A representative of the
23 parent's or guardian's choice, or of the student's choice if
24 emancipated, must be permitted to represent the student
25 throughout the proceedings and to address the school board or
26 its appointed hearing officer. With the approval of the

1 student's parent or guardian, or of the student if
2 emancipated, a support person must be permitted to accompany
3 the student to any disciplinary hearings or proceedings. The
4 representative or support person must comply with any rules of
5 the school district's hearing process. If the representative
6 or support person violates the rules or engages in behavior or
7 advocacy that harasses, abuses, or intimidates either party, a
8 witness, or anyone else in attendance at the hearing, the
9 representative or support person may be prohibited from
10 further participation in the hearing or proceeding. A
11 suspension or expulsion proceeding under this subsection
12 (b-35) must be conducted independently from any ongoing
13 criminal investigation or proceeding, and an absence of
14 pending or possible criminal charges, criminal investigations,
15 or proceedings may not be a factor in school disciplinary
16 decisions.
17 (b-40) During a suspension review hearing conducted under
18 subsection (b) or an expulsion hearing conducted under
19 subsection (a) that involves allegations of sexual violence by
20 the student who is subject to discipline, neither the student
21 nor his or her representative shall directly question nor have
22 direct contact with the alleged victim. The student who is
23 subject to discipline or his or her representative may, at the
24 discretion and direction of the school board or its appointed
25 hearing officer, suggest questions to be posed by the school
26 board or its appointed hearing officer to the alleged victim.

16 positive and healthy school climates.
17 (d) The board may expel a student for a definite period of
18 time not to exceed 2 calendar years, as determined on a
19 case-by-case basis. A student who is determined to have
20 brought one of the following objects to school, any
21 school-sponsored activity or event, or any activity or event

18 search warrant. As a matter of public policy, the General
19 Assembly finds that students have no reasonable expectation of
20 privacy in these places and areas or in their personal effects
21 left in these places and areas. School authorities may request
22 the assistance of law enforcement officials for the purpose of
23 conducting inspections and searches of lockers, desks, parking
24 lots, and other school property and equipment owned or

6 disciplinary action may be taken. School authorities may also
7 turn over such evidence to law enforcement authorities.
8 (f) Suspension or expulsion may include suspension or
9 expulsion from school and all school activities and a
10 prohibition from being present on school grounds.
11 (g) A school district may adopt a policy providing that if
12 a student is suspended or expelled for any reason from any
13 public or private school in this or any other state, the
14 student must complete the entire term of the suspension or
15 expulsion in an alternative school program under Article 13A
16 of this Code or an alternative learning opportunities program
17 under Article 13B of this Code before being admitted into the
18 school district if there is no threat to the safety of students
19 or staff in the alternative program. A school district that
20 adopts a policy under this subsection (g) must include a
21 provision allowing for consideration of any mitigating
22 factors, including, but not limited to, a student's status as
23 a parent, expectant parent, or victim of domestic or sexual
24 violence, as defined in Article 26A.
25 (h) School officials shall not advise or encourage

2 (i) A student may not be issued a monetary fine or fee as a
3 disciplinary consequence, though this shall not preclude
4 requiring a student to provide restitution for lost, stolen,
5 or damaged property.

19 (l) An in-school suspension program provided by a school
20 district for any students in kindergarten through grade 12 may
21 focus on promoting non-violent conflict resolution and
22 positive interaction with other students and school personnel.
23 A school district may employ a school social worker or a

SB2394 Enrolled - 1380 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (a-15) For a student entering grade 12, the next most
2 rigorous level of advanced coursework in English language arts
3 or mathematics shall be a dual credit course, as defined in the
4 Dual Credit Quality Act, an Advanced Placement course, as
5 defined in Section 10 of the College and Career Success for All
6 Students Act, or an International Baccalaureate course;
7 otherwise, the next most rigorous level of advanced coursework
8 under this subsection (a-15) may include a dual credit course,
9 as defined in the Dual Credit Quality Act, an Advanced
10 Placement course, as defined in Section 10 of the College and
11 Career Success for All Students Act, an International
12 Baccalaureate course, an honors class, an enrichment
13 opportunity, a gifted program, or another program offered by
14 the district.
15 A school district may use the student's most recent State
16 assessment results to determine whether a student meets or
17 exceeds State standards. For a student entering grade 9,
18 results from the State assessment taken in grades 6 through 8
19 may be used. For other high school grades, the results from a
20 locally selected, nationally normed assessment may be used
21 instead of the State assessment if those results are the most
22 recent.
23 (a-20) A school district's accelerated placement policy
24 may allow for the waiver of a course or unit of instruction
25 completion requirement if (i) completion of the course or unit
26 of instruction is required by this Code or rules adopted by the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1381 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 State Board of Education as a prerequisite to receiving a high
2 school diploma and (ii) the school district has determined
3 that the student has demonstrated mastery of or competency in
4 the content of the course or unit of instruction. The school
5 district shall maintain documentation of this determination of
6 mastery or competency for each student, that shall include
7 identification of the learning standards or competencies
8 reviewed, the methods of measurement used, student
9 performance, the date of the determination, and identification
10 of the district personnel involved in the determination
11 process.
12 (a-25) A school district's accelerated placement policy
13 must include a process through which the parent or guardian of
14 each student who meets State standards is provided
15 notification in writing of the student's eligibility for
16 enrollment in accelerated courses. This notification must
17 provide details on the procedures for the parent or guardian
18 to enroll or not enroll the student in accelerated courses, in
19 writing, on forms the school district makes available. If no
20 course selection is made by the parent or guardian in
21 accordance with procedures set forth by the school district,
22 the student shall be automatically enrolled in the next most
23 rigorous level of coursework. A school district must provide
24 the parent or guardian of a student eligible for enrollment
25 under subsection (a-5) or (a-10) with the option to instead
26 have the student enroll in alternative coursework that better
SB2394 Enrolled - 1382 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 aligns with the student's postsecondary education or career
2 goals. If applicable, a school district must provide
3 notification to a student's parent or guardian that the
4 student will receive a waiver of a course or unit of
5 instruction completion requirement under subsection
6 subsections (a-5) or (a-10).
7 Nothing in subsection (a-5) or (a-10) may be interpreted
8 to preclude other students from enrolling in advanced
9 coursework per the policy of a school district.
10 (a-30) Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the
11 implementation of policies that allow for automatic enrollment
12 of students who meet standards on State assessments into the
13 next most rigorous level of advanced coursework offered by a
14 high school.
15 (b) Further, a school district's accelerated placement
16 policy may include or incorporate by reference, but need not
17 be limited to, the following components:
18 (1) procedures for annually informing the community
19 at-large, including parents or guardians, community-based
20 organizations, and providers of out-of-school programs,
21 about the accelerated placement program and the methods
22 used for the identification of children eligible for
23 accelerated placement, including strategies to reach
24 groups of students and families who have been historically
25 underrepresented in accelerated placement programs and
26 advanced coursework;
SB2394 Enrolled - 1383 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (2) a process for referral that allows for multiple
2 referrers, including a child's parents or guardians; other
3 referrers may include licensed education professionals,
4 the child, with the written consent of a parent or
5 guardian, a peer, through a licensed education
6 professional who has knowledge of the referred child's
7 abilities, or, in case of possible early entrance, a
8 preschool educator, pediatrician, or psychologist who
9 knows the child;
10 (3) a provision that provides that children
11 participating in an accelerated placement program and
12 their parents or guardians will be provided a written plan
13 detailing the type of acceleration the child will receive
14 and strategies to support the child;
15 (4) procedures to provide support and promote success
16 for students who are newly enrolled in an accelerated
17 placement program;
18 (5) a process for the school district to review and
19 utilize disaggregated data on participation in an
20 accelerated placement program to address gaps among
21 demographic groups in accelerated placement opportunities;
22 and
23 (6) procedures to promote equity, which may
24 incorporate one or more of the following evidence-based
25 practices:
26 (A) the use of multiple tools to assess
SB2394 Enrolled - 1384 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 exceptional potential and provide several pathways
2 into advanced academic programs when assessing student
3 need for advanced academic or accelerated programming;
4 (B) providing enrichment opportunities starting in
5 the early grades to address achievement gaps that
6 occur at school entry and provide students with
7 opportunities to demonstrate their advanced potential;
8 (C) the use of universal screening combined with
9 local school-based norms for placement in accelerated
10 and advanced learning programs;
11 (D) developing a continuum of services to identify
12 and develop talent in all learners ranging from
13 enriched learning experiences, such as problem-based
14 learning, performance tasks, critical thinking, and
15 career exploration, to accelerated placement and
16 advanced academic programming; and
17 (E) providing professional learning in gifted
18 education for teachers and other appropriate school
19 personnel to appropriately identify and challenge
20 students from diverse cultures and backgrounds who may
21 benefit from accelerated placement or advanced
22 academic programming.
23 (c) The State Board of Education shall adopt rules to
24 determine data to be collected and disaggregated by
25 demographic group regarding accelerated placement, including
26 the rates of students who participate in and successfully

14 Sec. 18-8.15. Evidence-Based Funding for student success
15 for the 2017-2018 and subsequent school years.
16 (a) General provisions.
17 (1) The purpose of this Section is to ensure that, by
18 June 30, 2027 and beyond, this State has a kindergarten
19 through grade 12 public education system with the capacity
20 to ensure the educational development of all persons to
21 the limits of their capacities in accordance with Section
22 1 of Article X of the Constitution of the State of
23 Illinois. To accomplish that objective, this Section
24 creates a method of funding public education that is
25 evidence-based; is sufficient to ensure every student
SB2394 Enrolled - 1386 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 receives a meaningful opportunity to learn irrespective of
2 race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or
3 community-income level; and is sustainable and
4 predictable. When fully funded under this Section, every
5 school shall have the resources, based on what the
6 evidence indicates is needed, to:
7 (A) provide all students with a high quality
8 education that offers the academic, enrichment, social
9 and emotional support, technical, and career-focused
10 programs that will allow them to become competitive
11 workers, responsible parents, productive citizens of
12 this State, and active members of our national
13 democracy;
14 (B) ensure all students receive the education they
15 need to graduate from high school with the skills
16 required to pursue post-secondary education and
17 training for a rewarding career;
18 (C) reduce, with a goal of eliminating, the
19 achievement gap between at-risk and non-at-risk
20 students by raising the performance of at-risk
21 students and not by reducing standards; and
22 (D) ensure this State satisfies its obligation to
23 assume the primary responsibility to fund public
24 education and simultaneously relieve the
25 disproportionate burden placed on local property taxes
26 to fund schools.
SB2394 Enrolled - 1387 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (2) The Evidence-Based Funding formula under this
2 Section shall be applied to all Organizational Units in
3 this State. The Evidence-Based Funding formula outlined in
4 this Act is based on the formula outlined in Senate Bill 1
5 of the 100th General Assembly, as passed by both
6 legislative chambers. As further defined and described in
7 this Section, there are 4 major components of the
8 Evidence-Based Funding model:
9 (A) First, the model calculates a unique Adequacy
10 Target for each Organizational Unit in this State that
11 considers the costs to implement research-based
12 activities, the unit's student demographics, and
13 regional wage differences.
14 (B) Second, the model calculates each
15 Organizational Unit's Local Capacity, or the amount
16 each Organizational Unit is assumed to contribute
17 toward its Adequacy Target from local resources.
18 (C) Third, the model calculates how much funding
19 the State currently contributes to the Organizational
20 Unit and adds that to the unit's Local Capacity to
21 determine the unit's overall current adequacy of
22 funding.
23 (D) Finally, the model's distribution method
24 allocates new State funding to those Organizational
25 Units that are least well-funded, considering both
26 Local Capacity and State funding, in relation to their
SB2394 Enrolled - 1388 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Adequacy Target.
2 (3) An Organizational Unit receiving any funding under
3 this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
4 for which that Organizational Unit is authorized to make
5 expenditures by law.
6 (4) As used in this Section, the following terms shall
7 have the meanings ascribed in this paragraph (4):
8 "Adequacy Target" is defined in paragraph (1) of
9 subsection (b) of this Section.
10 "Adjusted EAV" is defined in paragraph (4) of
11 subsection (d) of this Section.
12 "Adjusted Local Capacity Target" is defined in
13 paragraph (3) of subsection (c) of this Section.
14 "Adjusted Operating Tax Rate" means a tax rate for all
15 Organizational Units, for which the State Superintendent

17 transportation rate based on total expenses for
18 transportation services under this Code, as reported on
19 the most recent Annual Financial Report in Pupil
20 Transportation Services, function 2550 in both the
21 Education and Transportation funds and functions 4110 and
22 4120 in the Transportation fund, less any corresponding
23 fiscal year State of Illinois scheduled payments excluding
24 net adjustments for prior years for regular, vocational,
25 or special education transportation reimbursement pursuant
26 to Section 29-5 or subsection (b) of Section 14-13.01 of
SB2394 Enrolled - 1389 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 this Code divided by the Adjusted EAV. If an
2 Organizational Unit's corresponding fiscal year State of
3 Illinois scheduled payments excluding net adjustments for
4 prior years for regular, vocational, or special education
5 transportation reimbursement pursuant to Section 29-5 or
6 subsection (b) of Section 14-13.01 of this Code exceed the
7 total transportation expenses, as defined in this
8 paragraph, no transportation rate shall be subtracted from
9 the Operating Tax Rate.
10 "Allocation Rate" is defined in paragraph (3) of
11 subsection (g) of this Section.
12 "Alternative School" means a public school that is
13 created and operated by a regional superintendent of

23 duly endorsed to be employed as an assistant principal in
24 this State.
25 "At-risk student" means a student who is at risk of
26 not meeting the Illinois Learning Standards or not
SB2394 Enrolled - 1390 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 graduating from elementary or high school and who
2 demonstrates a need for vocational support or social
3 services beyond that provided by the regular school
4 program. All students included in an Organizational Unit's
5 Low-Income Count, as well as all English learner and
6 disabled students attending the Organizational Unit, shall
7 be considered at-risk students under this Section.
8 "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" for fiscal year
9 2018 means, for an Organizational Unit, the greater of the
10 average number of students (grades K through 12) reported
11 to the State Board as enrolled in the Organizational Unit
12 on October 1 in the immediately preceding school year,
13 plus the pre-kindergarten students who receive special
14 education services of 2 or more hours a day as reported to
15 the State Board on December 1 in the immediately preceding
16 school year, or the average number of students (grades K
17 through 12) reported to the State Board as enrolled in the
18 Organizational Unit on October 1, plus the
19 pre-kindergarten students who receive special education
20 services of 2 or more hours a day as reported to the State
21 Board on December 1, for each of the immediately preceding
22 3 school years. For fiscal year 2019 and each subsequent
23 fiscal year, "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" means,
24 for an Organizational Unit, the greater of the average
25 number of students (grades K through 12) reported to the
26 State Board as enrolled in the Organizational Unit on
SB2394 Enrolled - 1391 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 October 1 and March 1 in the immediately preceding school
2 year, plus the pre-kindergarten students who receive
3 special education services as reported to the State Board
4 on October 1 and March 1 in the immediately preceding
5 school year, or the average number of students (grades K
6 through 12) reported to the State Board as enrolled in the
7 Organizational Unit on October 1 and March 1, plus the
8 pre-kindergarten students who receive special education
9 services as reported to the State Board on October 1 and
10 March 1, for each of the immediately preceding 3 school
11 years. For the purposes of this definition, "enrolled in
12 the Organizational Unit" means the number of students
13 reported to the State Board who are enrolled in schools
14 within the Organizational Unit that the student attends or
15 would attend if not placed or transferred to another
16 school or program to receive needed services. For the
17 purposes of calculating "ASE", all students, grades K
18 through 12, excluding those attending kindergarten for a
19 half day and students attending an alternative education
20 program operated by a regional office of education or
21 intermediate service center, shall be counted as 1.0. All
22 students attending kindergarten for a half day shall be
23 counted as 0.5, unless in 2017 by June 15 or by March 1 in
24 subsequent years, the school district reports to the State
25 Board of Education the intent to implement full-day
26 kindergarten district-wide for all students, then all
SB2394 Enrolled - 1392 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 students attending kindergarten shall be counted as 1.0.
2 Special education pre-kindergarten students shall be
3 counted as 0.5 each. If the State Board does not collect or
4 has not collected both an October 1 and March 1 enrollment
5 count by grade or a December 1 collection of special
6 education pre-kindergarten students as of August 31, 2017
7 (the effective date of Public Act 100-465), it shall
8 establish such collection for all future years. For any
9 year in which a count by grade level was collected only
10 once, that count shall be used as the single count
11 available for computing a 3-year average ASE. Funding for
12 programs operated by a regional office of education or an
13 intermediate service center must be calculated using the
14 Evidence-Based Funding formula under this Section for the
15 2019-2020 school year and each subsequent school year
16 until separate adequacy formulas are developed and adopted
17 for each type of program. ASE for a program operated by a
18 regional office of education or an intermediate service
19 center must be determined by the March 1 enrollment for
20 the program. For the 2019-2020 school year, the ASE used
21 in the calculation must be the first-year ASE and, in that
22 year only, the assignment of students served by a regional
23 office of education or intermediate service center shall
24 not result in a reduction of the March enrollment for any
25 school district. For the 2020-2021 school year, the ASE
26 must be the greater of the current-year ASE or the 2-year
SB2394 Enrolled - 1393 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 average ASE. Beginning with the 2021-2022 school year, the
2 ASE must be the greater of the current-year ASE or the
3 3-year average ASE. School districts shall submit the data
4 for the ASE calculation to the State Board within 45 days
5 of the dates required in this Section for submission of
6 enrollment data in order for it to be included in the ASE
7 calculation. For fiscal year 2018 only, the ASE
8 calculation shall include only enrollment taken on October
9 1. In recognition of the impact of COVID-19, the
10 definition of "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" shall
11 be adjusted for calculations under this Section for fiscal
12 years 2022 through 2024. For fiscal years 2022 through
13 2024, the enrollment used in the calculation of ASE
14 representing the 2020-2021 school year shall be the
15 greater of the enrollment for the 2020-2021 school year or

18 annually calculate average salaries to the nearest dollar
19 using the employment information system data maintained by
20 the State Board, limited to public schools only and
21 excluding special education and vocational cooperatives,
22 schools operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice,
23 and charter schools, for the following positions:
24 (A) Teacher for grades K through 8.
25 (B) Teacher for grades 9 through 12.
26 (C) Teacher for grades K through 12.
SB2394 Enrolled - 1419 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (D) School counselor for grades K through 8.
2 (E) School counselor for grades 9 through 12.
3 (F) School counselor for grades K through 12.
4 (G) Social worker.
5 (H) Psychologist.
6 (I) Librarian.
7 (J) Nurse.
8 (K) Principal.
9 (L) Assistant principal.
10 For the purposes of this paragraph (3), "teacher"
11 includes core teachers, specialist and elective teachers,
12 instructional facilitators, tutors, special education
13 teachers, pupil support staff teachers, English learner
14 teachers, extended day teachers, and summer school
15 teachers. Where specific grade data is not required for
16 the Essential Elements, the average salary for
17 corresponding positions shall apply. For substitute
18 teachers, the average teacher salary for grades K through
19 12 shall apply.
20 For calculating the salaries included within the
21 Essential Elements for positions not included within EIS
22 Data, the following salaries shall be used in the first
23 year of implementation of Evidence-Based Funding:
24 (i) school site staff, $30,000; and
25 (ii) non-instructional assistant, instructional
26 assistant, library aide, library media tech, or
SB2394 Enrolled - 1420 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 supervisory aide: $25,000.
2 In the second and subsequent years of implementation
3 of Evidence-Based Funding, the amounts in items (i) and
4 (ii) of this paragraph (3) shall annually increase by the
5 ECI.
6 The salary amounts for the Essential Elements
7 determined pursuant to subparagraphs (A) through (L), (S)
8 and (T), and (V) through (X) of paragraph (2) of
9 subsection (b) of this Section shall be multiplied by a
10 Regionalization Factor.
11 (c) Local Capacity calculation.
12 (1) Each Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
13 represents an amount of funding it is assumed to
14 contribute toward its Adequacy Target for purposes of the
15 Evidence-Based Funding formula calculation. "Local
16 Capacity" means either (i) the Organizational Unit's Local
17 Capacity Target as calculated in accordance with paragraph
18 (2) of this subsection (c) if its Real Receipts are equal
19 to or less than its Local Capacity Target or (ii) the
20 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity, as
21 calculated in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
22 subsection (c) if Real Receipts are more than its Local
23 Capacity Target.
24 (2) "Local Capacity Target" means, for an
25 Organizational Unit, that dollar amount that is obtained
26 by multiplying its Adequacy Target by its Local Capacity
SB2394 Enrolled - 1421 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Ratio.
2 (A) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
3 Percentage is the conversion of the Organizational
4 Unit's Local Capacity Ratio, as such ratio is
5 determined in accordance with subparagraph (B) of this
6 paragraph (2), into a cumulative distribution
7 resulting in a percentile ranking to determine each
8 Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
9 Organizational Units in this State. The calculation of
10 Local Capacity Percentage is described in subparagraph
11 (C) of this paragraph (2).
12 (B) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio
13 in a given year is the percentage obtained by dividing
14 its Adjusted EAV or PTELL EAV, whichever is less, by
15 its Adequacy Target, with the resulting ratio further
16 adjusted as follows:
17 (i) for Organizational Units serving grades
18 kindergarten through 12 and Hybrid Districts, no
19 further adjustments shall be made;
20 (ii) for Organizational Units serving grades
21 kindergarten through 8, the ratio shall be
22 multiplied by 9/13;
23 (iii) for Organizational Units serving grades
24 9 through 12, the Local Capacity Ratio shall be
25 multiplied by 4/13; and
26 (iv) for an Organizational Unit with a
SB2394 Enrolled - 1422 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 different grade configuration than those specified
2 in items (i) through (iii) of this subparagraph
3 (B), the State Superintendent shall determine a
4 comparable adjustment based on the grades served.
5 (C) The Local Capacity Percentage is equal to the
6 percentile ranking of the district. Local Capacity
7 Percentage converts each Organizational Unit's Local
8 Capacity Ratio to a cumulative distribution resulting
9 in a percentile ranking to determine each
10 Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
11 Organizational Units in this State. The Local Capacity
12 Percentage cumulative distribution resulting in a
13 percentile ranking for each Organizational Unit shall
14 be calculated using the standard normal distribution
15 of the score in relation to the weighted mean and
16 weighted standard deviation and Local Capacity Ratios
17 of all Organizational Units. If the value assigned to
18 any Organizational Unit is in excess of 90%, the value
19 shall be adjusted to 90%. For Laboratory Schools, the
20 Local Capacity Percentage shall be set at 10% in
21 recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
22 the public university that are allocated to the
23 Laboratory School. For a regional office of education
24 or an intermediate service center operating one or
25 more alternative education programs, the Local
26 Capacity Percentage must be set at 10% in recognition
SB2394 Enrolled - 1423 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 of the absence of EAV and resources from school
2 districts that are allocated to the regional office of
3 education or intermediate service center. The weighted
4 mean for the Local Capacity Percentage shall be
5 determined by multiplying each Organizational Unit's
6 Local Capacity Ratio times the ASE for the unit
7 creating a weighted value, summing the weighted values
8 of all Organizational Units, and dividing by the total
9 ASE of all Organizational Units. The weighted standard
10 deviation shall be determined by taking the square
11 root of the weighted variance of all Organizational
12 Units' Local Capacity Ratio, where the variance is
13 calculated by squaring the difference between each
14 unit's Local Capacity Ratio and the weighted mean,
15 then multiplying the variance for each unit times the
16 ASE for the unit to create a weighted variance for each
17 unit, then summing all units' weighted variance and
18 dividing by the total ASE of all units.
19 (D) For any Organizational Unit, the
20 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity Target
21 shall be reduced by either (i) the school board's
22 remaining contribution pursuant to paragraph (ii) of
23 subsection (b-4) of Section 16-158 of the Illinois
24 Pension Code in a given year or (ii) the board of
25 education's remaining contribution pursuant to
26 paragraph (iv) of subsection (b) of Section 17-129 of
SB2394 Enrolled - 1424 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the Illinois Pension Code absent the employer normal
2 cost portion of the required contribution and amount
3 allowed pursuant to subdivision (3) of Section
4 17-142.1 of the Illinois Pension Code in a given year.
5 In the preceding sentence, item (i) shall be certified
6 to the State Board of Education by the Teachers'
7 Retirement System of the State of Illinois and item
8 (ii) shall be certified to the State Board of
9 Education by the Public School Teachers' Pension and
10 Retirement Fund of the City of Chicago.
11 (3) If an Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are more
12 than its Local Capacity Target, then its Local Capacity
13 shall equal an Adjusted Local Capacity Target as
14 calculated in accordance with this paragraph (3). The
15 Adjusted Local Capacity Target is calculated as the sum of
16 the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target and its
17 Real Receipts Adjustment. The Real Receipts Adjustment
18 equals the Organizational Unit's Real Receipts less its
19 Local Capacity Target, with the resulting figure
20 multiplied by the Local Capacity Percentage.
21 As used in this paragraph (3), "Real Percent of
22 Adequacy" means the sum of an Organizational Unit's Real
23 Receipts, CPPRT, and Base Funding Minimum, with the
24 resulting figure divided by the Organizational Unit's
25 Adequacy Target.
26 (d) Calculation of Real Receipts, EAV, and Adjusted EAV
SB2394 Enrolled - 1425 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 for purposes of the Local Capacity calculation.
2 (1) An Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are the
3 product of its Applicable Tax Rate and its Adjusted EAV.
4 An Organizational Unit's Applicable Tax Rate is its
5 Adjusted Operating Tax Rate for property within the
6 Organizational Unit.
7 (2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
8 equalized assessed valuation, or EAV, of all taxable
9 property of each Organizational Unit as of September 30 of
10 the previous year in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
11 subsection (d). The State Superintendent shall then
12 determine the Adjusted EAV of each Organizational Unit in
13 accordance with paragraph (4) of this subsection (d),
14 which Adjusted EAV figure shall be used for the purposes
15 of calculating Local Capacity.
16 (3) To calculate Real Receipts and EAV, the Department
17 of Revenue shall supply to the State Superintendent the
18 value as equalized or assessed by the Department of
19 Revenue of all taxable property of every Organizational
20 Unit, together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in
21 extending taxes for the funds of the Organizational Unit
22 as of September 30 of the previous year and (ii) the
23 limiting rate for all Organizational Units subject to
24 property tax extension limitations as imposed under PTELL.
25 (A) The Department of Revenue shall add to the
26 equalized assessed value of all taxable property of
SB2394 Enrolled - 1426 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 each Organizational Unit situated entirely or
2 partially within a county that is or was subject to the
3 provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
4 Tax Code (i) an amount equal to the total amount by
5 which the homestead exemption allowed under Section
6 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code for real
7 property situated in that Organizational Unit exceeds
8 the total amount that would have been allowed in that
9 Organizational Unit if the maximum reduction under
10 Section 15-176 was (I) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500
11 in all other counties in tax year 2003 or (II) $5,000
12 in all counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and
13 (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount for the
14 taxable year of all additional exemptions under
15 Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
16 with a household income of $30,000 or less. The county
17 clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
18 provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
19 Tax Code shall annually calculate and certify to the
20 Department of Revenue for each Organizational Unit all
21 homestead exemption amounts under Section 15-176 or
22 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and all amounts of
23 additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the
24 Property Tax Code for owners with a household income
25 of $30,000 or less. It is the intent of this
26 subparagraph (A) that if the general homestead
SB2394 Enrolled - 1427 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 exemption for a parcel of property is determined under
2 Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
3 rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
4 EAV shall not be affected by the difference, if any,
5 between the amount of the general homestead exemption
6 allowed for that parcel of property under Section
7 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the
8 amount that would have been allowed had the general
9 homestead exemption for that parcel of property been
10 determined under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
11 Code. It is further the intent of this subparagraph
12 (A) that if additional exemptions are allowed under
13 Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
14 with a household income of less than $30,000, then the
15 calculation of EAV shall not be affected by the
16 difference, if any, because of those additional
17 exemptions.
18 (B) With respect to any part of an Organizational
19 Unit within a redevelopment project area in respect to
20 which a municipality has adopted tax increment
21 allocation financing pursuant to the Tax Increment
22 Allocation Redevelopment Act, Division 74.4 of Article
23 11 of the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Industrial
24 Jobs Recovery Law, Division 74.6 of Article 11 of the
25 Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current EAV of
26 real property located in any such project area that is
SB2394 Enrolled - 1428 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 attributable to an increase above the total initial
2 EAV of such property shall be used as part of the EAV
3 of the Organizational Unit, until such time as all
4 redevelopment project costs have been paid, as
5 provided in Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment
6 Allocation Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35
7 of the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose
8 of the EAV of the Organizational Unit, the total
9 initial EAV or the current EAV, whichever is lower,
10 shall be used until such time as all redevelopment
11 project costs have been paid.
12 (B-5) The real property equalized assessed
13 valuation for a school district shall be adjusted by
14 subtracting from the real property value, as equalized
15 or assessed by the Department of Revenue, for the
16 district an amount computed by dividing the amount of
17 any abatement of taxes under Section 18-170 of the
18 Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a district maintaining
19 grades kindergarten through 12, by 2.30% for a
20 district maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, or
21 by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9 through
22 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing the
23 amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
24 of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
25 percentage rates for district type as specified in
26 this subparagraph (B-5).
SB2394 Enrolled - 1429 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (C) For Organizational Units that are Hybrid
2 Districts, the State Superintendent shall use the
3 lesser of the adjusted equalized assessed valuation
4 for property within the partial elementary unit
5 district for elementary purposes, as defined in
6 Article 11E of this Code, or the adjusted equalized
7 assessed valuation for property within the partial
8 elementary unit district for high school purposes, as
9 defined in Article 11E of this Code.
10 (D) If a school district's boundaries span
11 multiple counties, then the Department of Revenue
12 shall send to the State Board, for the purposes of
13 calculating Evidence-Based Funding, the limiting rate
14 and individual rates by purpose for the county that
15 contains the majority of the school district's
16 equalized assessed valuation.
17 (4) An Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV shall be the
18 average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3 years
19 or the lesser of its EAV in the immediately preceding year
20 or the average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3
21 years if the EAV in the immediately preceding year has
22 declined by 10% or more when comparing the 2 most recent
23 years. In the event of Organizational Unit reorganization,
24 consolidation, or annexation, the Organizational Unit's
25 Adjusted EAV for the first 3 years after such change shall
26 be as follows: the most current EAV shall be used in the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1430 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 first year, the average of a 2-year EAV or its EAV in the
2 immediately preceding year if the EAV declines by 10% or
3 more when comparing the 2 most recent years for the second
4 year, and the lesser of a 3-year average EAV or its EAV in
5 the immediately preceding year if the Adjusted EAV
6 declines by 10% or more when comparing the 2 most recent
7 years for the third year. For any school district whose
8 EAV in the immediately preceding year is used in
9 calculations, in the following year, the Adjusted EAV
10 shall be the average of its EAV over the immediately
11 preceding 2 years or the immediately preceding year if
12 that year represents a decline of 10% or more when
13 comparing the 2 most recent years.
14 "PTELL EAV" means a figure calculated by the State
15 Board for Organizational Units subject to PTELL as
16 described in this paragraph (4) for the purposes of
17 calculating an Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio.
18 Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (4), the
19 PTELL EAV of an Organizational Unit shall be equal to the
20 product of the equalized assessed valuation last used in
21 the calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05
22 of this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding
23 under this Section and the Organizational Unit's Extension
24 Limitation Ratio. If an Organizational Unit has approved
25 or does approve an increase in its limiting rate, pursuant
26 to Section 18-190 of the Property Tax Code, affecting the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1431 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Base Tax Year, the PTELL EAV shall be equal to the product
2 of the equalized assessed valuation last used in the
3 calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of
4 this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding under
5 this Section multiplied by an amount equal to one plus the
6 percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index
7 for All Urban Consumers for all items published by the
8 United States Department of Labor for the 12-month
9 calendar year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the
10 equalized assessed valuation of new property, annexed
11 property, and recovered tax increment value and minus the
12 equalized assessed valuation of disconnected property.
13 As used in this paragraph (4), "new property" and
14 "recovered tax increment value" shall have the meanings
15 set forth in the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
16 (e) Base Funding Minimum calculation.
17 (1) For the 2017-2018 school year, the Base Funding
18 Minimum of an Organizational Unit or a Specially Funded
19 Unit shall be the amount of State funds distributed to the
20 Organizational Unit or Specially Funded Unit during the
21 2016-2017 school year prior to any adjustments and
22 specified appropriation amounts described in this
23 paragraph (1) from the following Sections, as calculated
24 by the State Superintendent: Section 18-8.05 of this Code
25 (now repealed); Section 5 of Article 224 of Public Act
26 99-524 (equity grants); Section 14-7.02b of this Code
SB2394 Enrolled - 1432 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (funding for children requiring special education
2 services); Section 14-13.01 of this Code (special
3 education facilities and staffing), except for
4 reimbursement of the cost of transportation pursuant to
5 Section 14-13.01; Section 14C-12 of this Code (English
6 learners); and Section 18-4.3 of this Code (summer
7 school), based on an appropriation level of $13,121,600.
8 For a school district organized under Article 34 of this
9 Code, the Base Funding Minimum also includes (i) the funds
10 allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
11 of this Code attributable to funding programs authorized
12 by the Sections of this Code listed in the preceding
13 sentence and (ii) the difference between (I) the funds
14 allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
15 of this Code attributable to the funding programs
16 authorized by Section 14-7.02 (non-public special
17 education reimbursement), subsection (b) of Section
18 14-13.01 (special education transportation), Section 29-5
19 (transportation), Section 2-3.80 (agricultural
20 education), Section 2-3.66 (truants' alternative
21 education), Section 2-3.62 (educational service centers),
22 and Section 14-7.03 (special education - orphanage) of
23 this Code and Section 15 of the Childhood Hunger Relief
24 Act (free breakfast program) and (II) the school
25 district's actual expenditures for its non-public special
26 education, special education transportation,
SB2394 Enrolled - 1433 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 transportation programs, agricultural education, truants'
2 alternative education, services that would otherwise be
3 performed by a regional office of education, special
4 education orphanage expenditures, and free breakfast, as
5 most recently calculated and reported pursuant to
6 subsection (f) of Section 1D-1 of this Code. The Base
7 Funding Minimum for Glenwood Academy shall be $952,014.
8 For programs operated by a regional office of education or
9 an intermediate service center, the Base Funding Minimum
10 must be the total amount of State funds allocated to those
11 programs in the 2018-2019 school year and amounts provided
12 pursuant to Article 34 of Public Act 100-586 and Section
13 3-16 of this Code. All programs established after June 5,
14 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-10) and
15 administered by a regional office of education or an
16 intermediate service center must have an initial Base
17 Funding Minimum set to an amount equal to the first-year
18 ASE multiplied by the amount of per pupil funding received
19 in the previous school year by the lowest funded similar
20 existing program type. If the enrollment for a program
21 operated by a regional office of education or an
22 intermediate service center is zero, then it may not
23 receive Base Funding Minimum funds for that program in the
24 next fiscal year, and those funds must be distributed to
25 Organizational Units under subsection (g).
26 (2) For the 2018-2019 and subsequent school years, the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1434 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Base Funding Minimum of Organizational Units and Specially
2 Funded Units shall be the sum of (i) the amount of
3 Evidence-Based Funding for the prior school year, (ii) the
4 Base Funding Minimum for the prior school year, and (iii)
5 any amount received by a school district pursuant to
6 Section 7 of Article 97 of Public Act 100-21.
7 For the 2022-2023 school year, the Base Funding
8 Minimum of Organizational Units shall be the amounts
9 recalculated by the State Board of Education for Fiscal
10 Year 2019 through Fiscal Year 2022 that were necessary due
11 to average student enrollment errors for districts
12 organized under Article 34 of this Code, plus the Fiscal
13 Year 2022 property tax relief grants provided under
14 Section 2-3.170 of this Code, ensuring each Organizational
15 Unit has the correct amount of resources for Fiscal Year
16 2023 Evidence-Based Funding calculations and that Fiscal
17 Year 2023 Evidence-Based Funding Distributions are made in
18 accordance with this Section.
19 (3) Subject to approval by the General Assembly as
20 provided in this paragraph (3), an Organizational Unit
21 that meets all of the following criteria, as determined by
22 the State Board, shall have District Intervention Money
23 added to its Base Funding Minimum at the time the Base
24 Funding Minimum is calculated by the State Board:
25 (A) The Organizational Unit is operating under an
26 Independent Authority under Section 2-3.25f-5 of this
SB2394 Enrolled - 1435 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Code for a minimum of 4 school years or is subject to
2 the control of the State Board pursuant to a court
3 order for a minimum of 4 school years.
4 (B) The Organizational Unit was designated as a
5 Tier 1 or Tier 2 Organizational Unit in the previous
6 school year under paragraph (3) of subsection (g) of
7 this Section.
8 (C) The Organizational Unit demonstrates
9 sustainability through a 5-year financial and
10 strategic plan.
11 (D) The Organizational Unit has made sufficient
12 progress and achieved sufficient stability in the
13 areas of governance, academic growth, and finances.
14 As part of its determination under this paragraph (3),
15 the State Board may consider the Organizational Unit's
16 summative designation, any accreditations of the
17 Organizational Unit, or the Organizational Unit's
18 financial profile, as calculated by the State Board.
19 If the State Board determines that an Organizational
20 Unit has met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3),
21 it must submit a report to the General Assembly, no later
22 than January 2 of the fiscal year in which the State Board
23 makes it determination, on the amount of District
24 Intervention Money to add to the Organizational Unit's
25 Base Funding Minimum. The General Assembly must review the
26 State Board's report and may approve or disapprove, by
SB2394 Enrolled - 1436 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 joint resolution, the addition of District Intervention
2 Money. If the General Assembly fails to act on the report
3 within 40 calendar days from the receipt of the report,
4 the addition of District Intervention Money is deemed
5 approved. If the General Assembly approves the amount of
6 District Intervention Money to be added to the
7 Organizational Unit's Base Funding Minimum, the District
8 Intervention Money must be added to the Base Funding
9 Minimum annually thereafter.
10 For the first 4 years following the initial year that
11 the State Board determines that an Organizational Unit has
12 met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3) and has
13 received funding under this Section, the Organizational
14 Unit must annually submit to the State Board, on or before
15 November 30, a progress report regarding its financial and
16 strategic plan under subparagraph (C) of this paragraph
17 (3). The plan shall include the financial data from the
18 past 4 annual financial reports or financial audits that
19 must be presented to the State Board by November 15 of each
20 year and the approved budget financial data for the
21 current year. The plan shall be developed according to the
22 guidelines presented to the Organizational Unit by the
23 State Board. The plan shall further include financial
24 projections for the next 3 fiscal years and include a
25 discussion and financial summary of the Organizational
26 Unit's facility needs. If the Organizational Unit does not
SB2394 Enrolled - 1437 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 demonstrate sufficient progress toward its 5-year plan or
2 if it has failed to file an annual financial report, an
3 annual budget, a financial plan, a deficit reduction plan,
4 or other financial information as required by law, the
5 State Board may establish a Financial Oversight Panel
6 under Article 1H of this Code. However, if the
7 Organizational Unit already has a Financial Oversight
8 Panel, the State Board may extend the duration of the
9 Panel.

11 (1) The Evidence-Based Funding formula establishes a
12 Percent of Adequacy for each Organizational Unit in order
13 to place such units into tiers for the purposes of the
14 funding distribution system described in subsection (g) of
15 this Section. Initially, an Organizational Unit's
16 Preliminary Resources and Preliminary Percent of Adequacy
17 are calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
18 subsection (f). Then, an Organizational Unit's Final
19 Resources and Final Percent of Adequacy are calculated to
20 account for the Organizational Unit's poverty
21 concentration levels pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4) of
22 this subsection (f).
23 (2) An Organizational Unit's Preliminary Resources are
24 equal to the sum of its Local Capacity Target, CPPRT, and
25 Base Funding Minimum. An Organizational Unit's Preliminary
26 Percent of Adequacy is the lesser of (i) its Preliminary
SB2394 Enrolled - 1438 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Resources divided by its Adequacy Target or (ii) 100%.
2 (3) Except for Specially Funded Units, an
3 Organizational Unit's Final Resources are equal to the sum
4 of its Local Capacity, CPPRT, and Adjusted Base Funding
5 Minimum. The Base Funding Minimum of each Specially Funded
6 Unit shall serve as its Final Resources, except that the
7 Base Funding Minimum for State-approved charter schools
8 shall not include any portion of general State aid
9 allocated in the prior year based on the per capita
10 tuition charge times the charter school enrollment.
11 (4) An Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy
12 is its Final Resources divided by its Adequacy Target. An
13 Organizational Unit's Adjusted Base Funding Minimum is
14 equal to its Base Funding Minimum less its Supplemental
15 Grant Funding, with the resulting figure added to the
16 product of its Supplemental Grant Funding and Preliminary
17 Percent of Adequacy.
18 (g) Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system.
19 (1) In each school year under the Evidence-Based
20 Funding formula, each Organizational Unit receives funding
21 equal to the sum of its Base Funding Minimum and the unit's
22 allocation of New State Funds determined pursuant to this
23 subsection (g). To allocate New State Funds, the
24 Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system first
25 places all Organizational Units into one of 4 tiers in
26 accordance with paragraph (3) of this subsection (g),
SB2394 Enrolled - 1439 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 based on the Organizational Unit's Final Percent of
2 Adequacy. New State Funds are allocated to each of the 4
3 tiers as follows: Tier 1 Aggregate Funding equals 50% of
4 all New State Funds, Tier 2 Aggregate Funding equals 49%
5 of all New State Funds, Tier 3 Aggregate Funding equals
6 0.9% of all New State Funds, and Tier 4 Aggregate Funding
7 equals 0.1% of all New State Funds. Each Organizational
8 Unit within Tier 1 or Tier 2 receives an allocation of New
9 State Funds equal to its tier Funding Gap, as defined in
10 the following sentence, multiplied by the tier's
11 Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4) of
12 this subsection (g). For Tier 1, an Organizational Unit's
13 Funding Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as specified
14 in paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
15 Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
16 amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
17 Resources. For Tier 2, an Organizational Unit's Funding
18 Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as described in
19 paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
20 Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
21 amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
22 Resources and its Tier 1 funding allocation. To determine
23 the Organizational Unit's Funding Gap, the resulting
24 amount is then multiplied by a factor equal to one minus
25 the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target
26 percentage. Each Organizational Unit within Tier 3 or Tier
SB2394 Enrolled - 1440 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 4 receives an allocation of New State Funds equal to the
2 product of its Adequacy Target and the tier's Allocation
3 Rate, as specified in paragraph (4) of this subsection
4 (g).
5 (2) To ensure equitable distribution of dollars for
6 all Tier 2 Organizational Units, no Tier 2 Organizational
7 Unit shall receive fewer dollars per ASE than any Tier 3
8 Organizational Unit. Each Tier 2 and Tier 3 Organizational
9 Unit shall have its funding allocation divided by its ASE.
10 Any Tier 2 Organizational Unit with a funding allocation
11 per ASE below the greatest Tier 3 allocation per ASE shall
12 get a funding allocation equal to the greatest Tier 3
13 funding allocation per ASE multiplied by the
14 Organizational Unit's ASE. Each Tier 2 Organizational
15 Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation shall be multiplied by
16 the percentage calculated by dividing the original Tier 2
17 Aggregate Funding by the sum of all Tier 2 Organizational
18 Units' Tier 2 funding allocation after adjusting
19 districts' funding below Tier 3 levels.
20 (3) Organizational Units are placed into one of 4
21 tiers as follows:
22 (A) Tier 1 consists of all Organizational Units,
23 except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
24 Adequacy less than the Tier 1 Target Ratio. The Tier 1
25 Target Ratio is the ratio level that allows for Tier 1
26 Aggregate Funding to be distributed, with the Tier 1
SB2394 Enrolled - 1441 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4)
2 of this subsection (g).
3 (B) Tier 2 consists of all Tier 1 Units and all
4 other Organizational Units, except for Specially
5 Funded Units, with a Percent of Adequacy of less than
6 0.90.
7 (C) Tier 3 consists of all Organizational Units,
8 except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
9 Adequacy of at least 0.90 and less than 1.0.
10 (D) Tier 4 consists of all Organizational Units
11 with a Percent of Adequacy of at least 1.0.
12 (4) The Allocation Rates for Tiers 1 through 4 are
13 determined as follows:
14 (A) The Tier 1 Allocation Rate is 30%.
15 (B) The Tier 2 Allocation Rate is the result of the
16 following equation: Tier 2 Aggregate Funding, divided
17 by the sum of the Funding Gaps for all Tier 2
18 Organizational Units, unless the result of such
19 equation is higher than 1.0. If the result of such
20 equation is higher than 1.0, then the Tier 2
21 Allocation Rate is 1.0.
22 (C) The Tier 3 Allocation Rate is the result of the
23 following equation: Tier 3 Aggregate Funding, divided
24 by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 3
25 Organizational Units.
26 (D) The Tier 4 Allocation Rate is the result of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1442 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 following equation: Tier 4 Aggregate Funding, divided
2 by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 4
3 Organizational Units.
4 (5) A tier's Target Ratio is determined as follows:
5 (A) The Tier 1 Target Ratio is the ratio level that
6 allows for Tier 1 Aggregate Funding to be distributed
7 with the Tier 1 Allocation Rate.
8 (B) The Tier 2 Target Ratio is 0.90.
9 (C) The Tier 3 Target Ratio is 1.0.
10 (6) If, at any point, the Tier 1 Target Ratio is
11 greater than 90%, then all Tier 1 funding shall be
12 allocated to Tier 2 and no Tier 1 Organizational Unit's
13 funding may be identified.
14 (7) In the event that all Tier 2 Organizational Units
15 receive funding at the Tier 2 Target Ratio level, any
16 remaining New State Funds shall be allocated to Tier 3 and
17 Tier 4 Organizational Units.
18 (8) If any Specially Funded Units, excluding Glenwood
19 Academy, recognized by the State Board do not qualify for
20 direct funding following the implementation of Public Act
21 100-465 from any of the funding sources included within
22 the definition of Base Funding Minimum, the unqualified
23 portion of the Base Funding Minimum shall be transferred
24 to one or more appropriate Organizational Units as
25 determined by the State Superintendent based on the prior
26 year ASE of the Organizational Units.
SB2394 Enrolled - 1443 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (8.5) If a school district withdraws from a special
2 education cooperative, the portion of the Base Funding
3 Minimum that is attributable to the school district may be
4 redistributed to the school district upon withdrawal. The
5 school district and the cooperative must include the
6 amount of the Base Funding Minimum that is to be
7 reapportioned in their withdrawal agreement and notify the
8 State Board of the change with a copy of the agreement upon
9 withdrawal.
10 (9) The Minimum Funding Level is intended to establish
11 a target for State funding that will keep pace with
12 inflation and continue to advance equity through the
13 Evidence-Based Funding formula. The target for State
14 funding of New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds is
15 $50,000,000 for State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent
16 State fiscal years. The Minimum Funding Level is equal to
17 $350,000,000. In addition to any New State Funds, no more
18 than $50,000,000 New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds may be
19 counted toward the Minimum Funding Level. If the sum of
20 New State Funds and applicable New Property Tax Relief
21 Pool Funds are less than the Minimum Funding Level, than
22 funding for tiers shall be reduced in the following
23 manner:
24 (A) First, Tier 4 funding shall be reduced by an
25 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
26 Funding Level and New State Funds until such time as
SB2394 Enrolled - 1444 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Tier 4 funding is exhausted.
2 (B) Next, Tier 3 funding shall be reduced by an
3 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
4 Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
5 Tier 4 funding until such time as Tier 3 funding is
6 exhausted.
7 (C) Next, Tier 2 funding shall be reduced by an
8 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
9 Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
10 Tier 4 and Tier 3.
11 (D) Finally, Tier 1 funding shall be reduced by an
12 amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
13 Funding level and New State Funds and the reduction in
14 Tier 2, 3, and 4 funding. In addition, the Allocation
15 Rate for Tier 1 shall be reduced to a percentage equal
16 to the Tier 1 Allocation Rate set by paragraph (4) of
17 this subsection (g), multiplied by the result of New
18 State Funds divided by the Minimum Funding Level.
19 (9.5) For State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
20 fiscal years, if New State Funds exceed $300,000,000, then
21 any amount in excess of $300,000,000 shall be dedicated
22 for purposes of Section 2-3.170 of this Code up to a
23 maximum of $50,000,000.
24 (10) In the event of a decrease in the amount of the
25 appropriation for this Section in any fiscal year after
26 implementation of this Section, the Organizational Units
SB2394 Enrolled - 1445 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 receiving Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding, as determined under
2 paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), shall be held
3 harmless by establishing a Base Funding Guarantee equal to
4 the per pupil kindergarten through grade 12 funding
5 received in accordance with this Section in the prior
6 fiscal year. Reductions shall be made to the Base Funding
7 Minimum of Organizational Units in Tier 3 and Tier 4 on a
8 per pupil basis equivalent to the total number of the ASE
9 in Tier 3-funded and Tier 4-funded Organizational Units
10 divided by the total reduction in State funding. The Base
11 Funding Minimum as reduced shall continue to be applied to
12 Tier 3 and Tier 4 Organizational Units and adjusted by the
13 relative formula when increases in appropriations for this
14 Section resume. In no event may State funding reductions
15 to Organizational Units in Tier 3 or Tier 4 exceed an
16 amount that would be less than the Base Funding Minimum
17 established in the first year of implementation of this
18 Section. If additional reductions are required, all school
19 districts shall receive a reduction by a per pupil amount
20 equal to the aggregate additional appropriation reduction
21 divided by the total ASE of all Organizational Units.
22 (11) The State Superintendent shall make minor
23 adjustments to the distribution formula set forth in this
24 subsection (g) to account for the rounding of percentages
25 to the nearest tenth of a percentage and dollar amounts to
26 the nearest whole dollar.

9 within an Organizational Unit without the approval of the
10 unit's school board.
11 (3) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
12 and report to each Organizational Unit the unit's
13 aggregate financial adequacy amount, which shall be the
14 sum of the Adequacy Target for each Organizational Unit.
15 The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
16 separately for each Organizational Unit the unit's total
17 State funds allocated for its students with disabilities.
18 The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
19 separately for each Organizational Unit the amount of
20 funding and applicable FTE calculated for each Essential
21 Element of the unit's Adequacy Target.
22 (4) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
23 and report to each Organizational Unit the amount the unit
24 must expend on special education and bilingual education
25 and computer technology and equipment for Organizational
26 Units assigned to Tier 1 or Tier 2 that received an
SB2394 Enrolled - 1447 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 additional $285.50 per student computer technology and
2 equipment investment grant to their Adequacy Target
3 pursuant to the unit's Base Funding Minimum, Special
4 Education Allocation, Bilingual Education Allocation, and
5 computer technology and equipment investment allocation.
6 (5) Moneys distributed under this Section shall be
7 calculated on a school year basis, but paid on a fiscal
8 year basis, with payments beginning in August and
9 extending through June. Unless otherwise provided, the
10 moneys appropriated for each fiscal year shall be
11 distributed in 22 equal payments at least 2 times monthly
12 to each Organizational Unit. If moneys appropriated for
13 any fiscal year are distributed other than monthly, the
14 distribution shall be on the same basis for each
15 Organizational Unit.
16 (6) Any school district that fails, for any given
17 school year, to maintain school as required by law or to
18 maintain a recognized school is not eligible to receive
19 Evidence-Based Funding. In case of non-recognition of one
20 or more attendance centers in a school district otherwise
21 operating recognized schools, the claim of the district
22 shall be reduced in the proportion that the enrollment in
23 the attendance center or centers bears to the enrollment
24 of the school district. "Recognized school" means any
25 public school that meets the standards for recognition by
26 the State Board. A school district or attendance center
SB2394 Enrolled - 1448 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 not having recognition status at the end of a school term
2 is entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal
3 claim that was filed while it was recognized.
4 (7) School district claims filed under this Section
5 are subject to Sections 18-9 and 18-12 of this Code,
6 except as otherwise provided in this Section.
7 (8) Each fiscal year, the State Superintendent shall
8 calculate for each Organizational Unit an amount of its
9 Base Funding Minimum and Evidence-Based Funding that shall
10 be deemed attributable to the provision of special
11 educational facilities and services, as defined in Section
12 14-1.08 of this Code, in a manner that ensures compliance
13 with maintenance of State financial support requirements
14 under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education
15 Act. An Organizational Unit must use such funds only for
16 the provision of special educational facilities and
17 services, as defined in Section 14-1.08 of this Code, and
18 must comply with any expenditure verification procedures
19 adopted by the State Board.
20 (9) All Organizational Units in this State must submit
21 annual spending plans, as part of the budget submission
22 process, no later than October 31 of each year to the State
23 Board. The spending plan shall describe how each
24 Organizational Unit will utilize the Base Funding Minimum
25 and Evidence-Based Funding it receives from this State

2 special education resources. Additionally, the annual
3 spending plans of each Organizational Unit shall describe
4 how the Organizational Unit expects to achieve student
5 growth and how the Organizational Unit will achieve State
6 education goals, as defined by the State Board, and shall
7 indicate which stakeholder groups the Organizational Unit
8 engaged with to inform its annual spending plans. The
9 State Superintendent may, from time to time, identify
10 additional requisites for Organizational Units to satisfy
11 when compiling the annual spending plans required under
12 this subsection (h). The format and scope of annual
13 spending plans shall be developed by the State
14 Superintendent and the State Board of Education. School
15 districts that serve students under Article 14C of this
16 Code shall continue to submit information as required
17 under Section 14C-12 of this Code. Annual spending plans
18 required under this subsection (h) shall be integrated
19 into annual school district budgets completed pursuant to
20 Section 17-1 or Section 34-43. Organizational Units that
21 do not submit a budget to the State Board shall be provided
22 with a separate planning template developed by the State
23 Board. The State Board shall create an Evidence-Based
24 Funding spending plan tool to make Evidence-Based Funding
25 spending plan data for each Organizational Unit available

14 Sec. 19-1. Debt limitations of school districts.
15 (a) School districts shall not be subject to the
16 provisions limiting their indebtedness prescribed in the Local
17 Government Debt Limitation Act.
18 No school districts maintaining grades K through 8 or 9
19 through 12 shall become indebted in any manner or for any
20 purpose to an amount, including existing indebtedness, in the
21 aggregate exceeding 6.9% on the value of the taxable property
22 therein to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and
23 county taxes or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum
24 that is produced by multiplying the school district's 1978
25 equalized assessed valuation by the debt limitation percentage
SB2394 Enrolled - 1459 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 in effect on January 1, 1979, previous to the incurring of such
2 indebtedness.
3 No school districts maintaining grades K through 12 shall
4 become indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an amount,
5 including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding
6 13.8% on the value of the taxable property therein to be
7 ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes
8 or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum that is produced
9 by multiplying the school district's 1978 equalized assessed
10 valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on
11 January 1, 1979, previous to the incurring of such
12 indebtedness.
13 No partial elementary unit district, as defined in Article
14 11E of this Code, shall become indebted in any manner or for
15 any purpose in an amount, including existing indebtedness, in
16 the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of the taxable
17 property of the entire district, to be ascertained by the last
18 assessment for State and county taxes, plus an amount,
19 including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding
20 6.9% of the value of the taxable property of that portion of
21 the district included in the elementary and high school
22 classification, to be ascertained by the last assessment for
23 State and county taxes. Moreover, no partial elementary unit
24 district, as defined in Article 11E of this Code, shall become
25 indebted on account of bonds issued by the district for high
26 school purposes in the aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value
SB2394 Enrolled - 1460 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 of the taxable property of the entire district, to be
2 ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes,

5 aggregate exceeding 6.9% of the value of the taxable property
6 for that portion of the district included in the elementary
7 and high school classification, to be ascertained by the last
8 assessment for State and county taxes.
9 Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the
10 contrary, in any case in which the voters of a school district
11 have approved a proposition for the issuance of bonds of such
12 school district at an election held prior to January 1, 1979,
13 and all of the bonds approved at such election have not been
14 issued, the debt limitation applicable to such school district
15 during the calendar year 1979 shall be computed by multiplying
16 the value of taxable property therein, including personal
17 property, as ascertained by the last assessment for State and
18 county taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness,
19 by the percentage limitation applicable to such school
20 district under the provisions of this subsection (a).
21 (a-5) After January 1, 2018, no school district may issue
22 bonds under Sections 19-2 through 19-7 of this Code and rely on
23 an exception to the debt limitations in this Section unless it
24 has complied with the requirements of Section 21 of the Bond
25 Issue Notification Act and the bonds have been approved by
26 referendum.

3 incurred in an amount not to exceed the estimated cost of
4 acquiring or improving school sites or constructing and
5 equipping additional building facilities under the following
6 conditions:
7 (1) Whenever the enrollment of students for the next

11 present enrollment of students has increased over the
12 previous school year by not less than 35% or by not less
13 than 200 students and the board of education determines
14 that additional school sites or building facilities are
15 required as a result of such increase in enrollment; and
16 (2) When the Regional Superintendent of Schools having
17 jurisdiction over the school district and the State

26 facilities at an election called and held for that
SB2394 Enrolled - 1462 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 purpose. Notice of such an election shall state that the
2 amount of indebtedness proposed to be incurred would
3 exceed the debt limitation otherwise applicable to the
4 school district. The ballot for such proposition shall
5 state what percentage of the equalized assessed valuation
6 will be outstanding in bonds if the proposed issuance of
7 bonds is approved by the voters; or
8 (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1)
9 through (3) of this subsection (b), if the school board
10 determines that additional facilities are needed to
11 provide a quality educational program and not less than

22 the referendum described in paragraph (4) of this
23 subsection (b) was held, (iii) the school board determines

25 educational program, and (iv) a majority of those voting
26 in an election called by the school board on the question
SB2394 Enrolled - 1463 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 approve the issuance of bonds for the construction of such

6 school district exceed 15% of the value of the taxable
7 property therein to be ascertained by the last assessment for
8 State and county taxes, previous to the incurring of such
9 indebtedness or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum
10 that is produced by multiplying the school district's 1978
11 equalized assessed valuation by the debt limitation percentage
12 in effect on January 1, 1979.
13 The indebtedness provided for by this subsection (b) shall
14 be in addition to and in excess of any other debt limitation.
15 (c) Notwithstanding the debt limitation prescribed in
16 subsection (a) of this Section, in any case in which a public

4 additional indebtedness authorized by this subsection (d),
5 when incurred and added to the aggregate amount of
6 indebtedness of the district existing immediately prior to the

15 Sec. 24A-5. Content of evaluation plans. This Section does
16 not apply to teachers assigned to schools identified in an
17 agreement entered into between the board of a school district
18 operating under Article 34 of this Code and the exclusive
19 representative of the district's teachers in accordance with
20 Section 34-85c of this Code.
21 Each school district to which this Article applies shall
22 establish a teacher evaluation plan which ensures that each
23 teacher in contractual continued service is evaluated at least
24 once in the course of every 2 or 3 school years as provided in
25 this Section.
SB2394 Enrolled - 1551 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Each school district shall establish a teacher evaluation
2 plan that ensures that:
3 (1) each teacher not in contractual continued service
4 is evaluated at least once every school year; and
5 (2) except as otherwise provided in this Section, each
6 teacher in contractual continued service is evaluated at
7 least once in the course of every 2 school years. However,
8 any teacher in contractual continued service whose
9 performance is rated as either "needs improvement" or
10 "unsatisfactory" must be evaluated at least once in the
11 school year following the receipt of such rating.
12 No later than September 1, 2022, each school district must
13 establish a teacher evaluation plan that ensures that each
14 teacher in contractual continued service whose performance is
15 rated as either "excellent" or "proficient" is evaluated at
16 least once in the course of the 3 school years after receipt of
17 the rating and implement an informal teacher observation plan
18 established by agency rule and by agreement of the joint
19 committee established under subsection (b) of Section 24A-4 of
20 this Code that ensures that each teacher in contractual
21 continued service whose performance is rated as either
22 "excellent" or "proficient" is informally observed at least
23 once in the course of the 2 school years after receipt of the
24 rating.
25 For the 2022-2023 school year only, if the Governor has
26 declared a disaster due to a public health emergency pursuant
SB2394 Enrolled - 1552 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 to Section 7 of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act,
2 a school district may waive the evaluation requirement of all
3 teachers in contractual continued service whose performances
4 were rated as either "excellent" or "proficient" during the
5 last school year in which the teachers were evaluated under
6 this Section.
7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
8 or any other Section of this Code, a principal shall not be
9 prohibited from evaluating any teachers within a school during
10 his or her first year as principal of such school. If a
11 first-year principal exercises this option in a school
12 district where the evaluation plan provides for a teacher in
13 contractual continued service to be evaluated once in the
14 course of every 2 or 3 school years, as applicable, then a new
15 2-year or 3-year evaluation plan must be established.
16 The evaluation plan shall comply with the requirements of
17 this Section and of any rules adopted by the State Board of
18 Education pursuant to this Section.
19 The plan shall include a description of each teacher's
20 duties and responsibilities and of the standards to which that
21 teacher is expected to conform, and shall include at least the
22 following components:
23 (a) personal observation of the teacher in the
24 classroom by the evaluator, unless the teacher has no
25 classroom duties.
26 (b) consideration of the teacher's attendance,
SB2394 Enrolled - 1553 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 planning, instructional methods, classroom management,
2 where relevant, and competency in the subject matter
3 taught.
4 (c) by no later than the applicable implementation
5 date, consideration of student growth as a significant
6 factor in the rating of the teacher's performance.
7 (d) prior to September 1, 2012, rating of the
8 performance of teachers in contractual continued service
9 as either:
10 (i) "excellent", "satisfactory" or
11 "unsatisfactory"; or
12 (ii) "excellent", "proficient", "needs
13 improvement" or "unsatisfactory".
14 (e) on and after September 1, 2012, rating of the
15 performance of all teachers as "excellent", "proficient",
16 "needs improvement" or "unsatisfactory".
17 (f) specification as to the teacher's strengths and
18 weaknesses, with supporting reasons for the comments made.
19 (g) inclusion of a copy of the evaluation in the
20 teacher's personnel file and provision of a copy to the
21 teacher.
22 (h) within 30 school days after the completion of an
23 evaluation rating a teacher in contractual continued
24 service as "needs improvement", development by the
25 evaluator, in consultation with the teacher, and taking
26 into account the teacher's ongoing on-going professional
SB2394 Enrolled - 1554 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 responsibilities including his or her regular teaching
2 assignments, of a professional development plan directed
3 to the areas that need improvement and any supports that
4 the district will provide to address the areas identified
5 as needing improvement.
6 (i) within 30 school days after completion of an
7 evaluation rating a teacher in contractual continued
8 service as "unsatisfactory", development and commencement
9 by the district of a remediation plan designed to correct
10 deficiencies cited, provided the deficiencies are deemed
11 remediable. In all school districts the remediation plan
12 for unsatisfactory, tenured teachers shall provide for 90
13 school days of remediation within the classroom, unless an
14 applicable collective bargaining agreement provides for a
15 shorter duration. In all school districts evaluations
16 issued pursuant to this Section shall be issued within 10
17 days after the conclusion of the respective remediation
18 plan. However, the school board or other governing
19 authority of the district shall not lose jurisdiction to
20 discharge a teacher in the event the evaluation is not
21 issued within 10 days after the conclusion of the
22 respective remediation plan.
23 (j) participation in the remediation plan by the
24 teacher in contractual continued service rated
25 "unsatisfactory", an evaluator and a consulting teacher
26 selected by the evaluator of the teacher who was rated
SB2394 Enrolled - 1555 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 "unsatisfactory", which consulting teacher is an
2 educational employee as defined in the Illinois
3 Educational Labor Relations Act, has at least 5 years'
4 teaching experience, and a reasonable familiarity with the
5 assignment of the teacher being evaluated, and who
6 received an "excellent" rating on his or her most recent
7 evaluation. Where no teachers who meet these criteria are
8 available within the district, the district shall request
9 and the applicable regional office of education shall
10 supply, to participate in the remediation process, an
11 individual who meets these criteria.
12 In a district having a population of less than 500,000
13 with an exclusive bargaining agent, the bargaining agent
14 may, if it so chooses, supply a roster of qualified
15 teachers from whom the consulting teacher is to be
16 selected. That roster shall, however, contain the names of
17 at least 5 teachers, each of whom meets the criteria for
18 consulting teacher with regard to the teacher being
19 evaluated, or the names of all teachers so qualified if
20 that number is less than 5. In the event of a dispute as to
21 qualification, the State Board shall determine
22 qualification.
23 (k) a mid-point and final evaluation by an evaluator
24 during and at the end of the remediation period,
25 immediately following receipt of a remediation plan
26 provided for under subsections (i) and (j) of this
SB2394 Enrolled - 1556 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Section. Each evaluation shall assess the teacher's
2 performance during the time period since the prior
3 evaluation; provided that the last evaluation shall also
4 include an overall evaluation of the teacher's performance
5 during the remediation period. A written copy of the
6 evaluations and ratings, in which any deficiencies in
7 performance and recommendations for correction are
8 identified, shall be provided to and discussed with the
9 teacher within 10 school days after the date of the
10 evaluation, unless an applicable collective bargaining
11 agreement provides to the contrary. These subsequent
12 evaluations shall be conducted by an evaluator. The
13 consulting teacher shall provide advice to the teacher
14 rated "unsatisfactory" on how to improve teaching skills
15 and to successfully complete the remediation plan. The
16 consulting teacher shall participate in developing the
17 remediation plan, but the final decision as to the
18 evaluation shall be done solely by the evaluator, unless
19 an applicable collective bargaining agreement provides to
20 the contrary. Evaluations at the conclusion of the
21 remediation process shall be separate and distinct from
22 the required annual evaluations of teachers and shall not
23 be subject to the guidelines and procedures relating to
24 those annual evaluations. The evaluator may but is not
25 required to use the forms provided for the annual
26 evaluation of teachers in the district's evaluation plan.
SB2394 Enrolled - 1557 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (l) reinstatement to the evaluation schedule set forth
2 in the district's evaluation plan for any teacher in
3 contractual continued service who achieves a rating equal
4 to or better than "satisfactory" or "proficient" in the
5 school year following a rating of "needs improvement" or
6 "unsatisfactory".
7 (m) dismissal in accordance with subsection (d) of
8 Section 24-12 or Section 24-16.5 or 34-85 of this Code of
9 any teacher who fails to complete any applicable
10 remediation plan with a rating equal to or better than a
11 "satisfactory" or "proficient" rating. Districts and
12 teachers subject to dismissal hearings are precluded from
13 compelling the testimony of consulting teachers at such
14 hearings under subsection (d) of Section 24-12 or Section
15 24-16.5 or 34-85 of this Code, either as to the rating
16 process or for opinions of performances by teachers under
17 remediation.
18 (n) After the implementation date of an evaluation
19 system for teachers in a district as specified in Section
20 24A-2.5 of this Code, if a teacher in contractual
21 continued service successfully completes a remediation
22 plan following a rating of "unsatisfactory" in an overall
23 performance evaluation received after the foregoing
24 implementation date and receives a subsequent rating of
25 "unsatisfactory" in any of the teacher's overall
26 performance evaluation ratings received during the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1558 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 36-month period following the teacher's completion of the
2 remediation plan, then the school district may forgo
3 remediation and seek dismissal in accordance with
4 subsection (d) of Section 24-12 or Section 34-85 of this
5 Code.
6 (o) Teachers who are due to be evaluated in the last
7 year before they are set to retire shall be offered the
8 opportunity to waive their evaluation and to retain their
9 most recent rating, unless the teacher was last rated as
10 "needs improvement" or "unsatisfactory". The school
11 district may still reserve the right to evaluate a teacher
12 provided the district gives notice to the teacher at least
13 14 days before the evaluation and a reason for evaluating
14 the teacher.
15 Nothing in this Section or Section 24A-4 shall be
16 construed as preventing immediate dismissal of a teacher for
17 deficiencies which are deemed irremediable or for actions
18 which are injurious to or endanger the health or person of
19 students in the classroom or school, or preventing the
20 dismissal or non-renewal of teachers not in contractual
21 continued service for any reason not prohibited by applicable
22 employment, labor, and civil rights laws. Failure to strictly
23 comply with the time requirements contained in Section 24A-5
24 shall not invalidate the results of the remediation plan.
25 Nothing contained in Public Act 98-648 repeals,
26 supersedes, invalidates, or nullifies final decisions in
SB2394 Enrolled - 1559 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 lawsuits pending on July 1, 2014 (the effective date of Public
2 Act 98-648) in Illinois courts involving the interpretation of
3 Public Act 97-8.
4 If the Governor has declared a disaster due to a public
5 health emergency pursuant to Section 7 of the Illinois
6 Emergency Management Agency Act that suspends in-person
7 instruction, the timelines in this Section connected to the
8 commencement and completion of any remediation plan are
9 waived. Except if the parties mutually agree otherwise and the
10 agreement is in writing, any remediation plan that had been in
11 place for more than 45 days prior to the suspension of
12 in-person instruction shall resume when in-person instruction
13 resumes and any remediation plan that had been in place for
14 fewer than 45 days prior to the suspension of in-person
15 instruction shall be discontinued and a new remediation period
16 shall begin when in-person instruction resumes. The
17 requirements of this paragraph apply regardless of whether
18 they are included in a school district's teacher evaluation
19 plan.

11 contained in the list promulgated by the State Board,
12 including non-curricular health and safety requirements of the
13 authorizing local school board.
14 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the School Code, a
15 charter school shall not charge tuition; provided that a

24 school or affiliated with the charter school or its authorizer
25 in any way, other than to audit the charter school's finances.

25 purposes, the board may incur an indebtedness and issue bonds
SB2394 Enrolled - 1599 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 therefor in an amount or amounts not to exceed in the aggregate

3 Sections 34-22.1, 34-22.2, 34-22.3, 34-22.4, 34-22.5, and
4 34-22.7. Bonds authorized under this Section may also be
5 issued for the purposes of paying interest on such bonds,
6 establishing reserves to secure such bonds and paying the
7 costs of issuance of such bonds. In connection with the
8 issuance of its bonds, the board may enter into arrangements
9 to provide additional security and liquidity for the bonds.
10 These may include, without limitation, municipal bond
11 insurance, letters of credit, lines of credit by which the
12 board may borrow funds to pay or redeem its bonds, and purchase
13 or remarketing arrangements for assuring the ability of owners
14 of the board's bonds to sell or to have redeemed their bonds.
15 The board may enter into contracts and may agree to pay fees to
16 persons providing such arrangements, including from bond
17 proceeds but only under circumstances in which the total
18 interest paid or to be paid on the bonds, together with the
19 fees for the arrangements (being treated as if interest),
20 would not, taken together, cause the bonds to bear interest,
21 calculated to their absolute maturity, at a rate in excess of
22 the maximum rate allowed by law.
23 The resolution of the board authorizing the issuance of
24 its bonds may provide that interest rates may vary from time to
25 time depending upon criteria established by the board, which
26 may include, without limitation, a variation in interest rates
SB2394 Enrolled - 1600 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 as may be necessary to cause bonds to be remarketable from time
2 to time at a price equal to their principal amount, and may
3 provide for appointment of a national banking association,
4 bank, trust company, investment banker, or other financial
5 institution to serve as a remarketing agent in that
6 connection. The resolution of the board authorizing the

8 rates or provisions will apply during such times as the bonds
9 are held by a person providing a letter of credit or other
10 credit enhancement arrangement for those bonds. The Board may

19 public corporations to issue bonds, other evidences of
20 indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants subject to interest
21 rate limitations set forth therein", approved May 26, 1970, as
22 now or hereafter amended, and, if issued at such maximum
23 annual rate, shall be sold for not less than par and accrued
24 interest. If any of the bonds are issued to bear interest at a
25 rate of less than such maximum annual rate the minimum price at
26 which they may be sold shall be such that the interest cost to
SB2394 Enrolled - 1601 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the board on the proceeds of the bonds shall not exceed such
2 maximum annual rate computed to stated maturity according to

4 Whenever the board desires to issue bonds as authorized in
5 this Section, it shall adopt a resolution designating the
6 purpose for which the proceeds of the bonds are to be expended
7 and fixing the amount of the bonds proposed to be issued, the
8 maturity or maturities thereof, and optional provisions, if
9 any, the rate of interest thereon, and the amount of taxes to
10 be levied annually for the purpose of paying the interest upon
11 and the principal, whether due at maturity or upon sinking
12 fund installment dates, of such bonds.
13 Said bonds shall be issued in the corporate name of the
14 school district. They shall be signed by the president and
15 secretary of said board and countersigned by the mayor and the
16 comptroller (or city clerk if there be no comptroller) of the

20 under the direction of the board, and the proceeds thereof
21 shall be received by the city treasurer, as school treasurer,
22 and expended by the board for the purposes provided in the bond
23 resolution.
24 Before or at the time of issuing any bonds authorized in

19 Sec. 34-22.10. Issuance of bonds. For the sole purpose of
20 purchasing or otherwise acquiring school buildings and related
21 property and facilities for an agricultural science school
22 pursuant to an agreement entered into pursuant to subparagraph
23 (7) of Section 34-21.1, the board may incur an indebtedness
24 and issue bonds therefor in an amount or amounts not to exceed
25 in the aggregate $20,000,000 in addition to the bonds
SB2394 Enrolled - 1603 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 authorized under Sections 34-22.1, 34-22.2, 34-22.3, 34-22.4,
2 34-22.5, 34-22.6, and 34-22.7. Bonds authorized under this
3 Section may also be issued for the purposes of paying interest
4 on such bonds, establishing reserves to secure such bonds and
5 paying the costs of issuance of such bonds.
6 In connection with the issuance of its bonds, the board
7 may enter into arrangements to provide additional security and
8 liquidity for the bonds. These may include, without
9 limitation, municipal bond insurance, letters of credit, lines
10 of credit by which the board may borrow funds to pay or redeem
11 its bonds, and purchase or remarketing arrangements for
12 assuring the ability of owners of the board's bonds to sell or
13 to have redeemed their bonds. The board may enter into
14 contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such
15 arrangements, including from bond proceeds but only under
16 circumstances in which the total interest paid or to be paid on
17 the bonds, together with the fees for the arrangements (being
18 treated as if interest), would not, taken together, cause the
19 bonds to bear interest, calculated to their absolute maturity,
20 at a rate in excess of the maximum rate allowed by law.
21 The Board may use proceeds of the sale of bonds authorized
22 under this Section to pay the cost of obtaining such municipal
23 bond insurance, letter of credit, or other credit facilities.
24 Bonds may also be issued under this Section to pay the cost of
25 refunding any bonds issued under this Section, including prior
26 to their maturity. The bonds shall bear interest at a rate or
SB2394 Enrolled - 1604 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 rates not to exceed the maximum annual rate provided for in
2 Section 2 of the Bond Authorization Act "An Act to authorize
3 public corporations to issue bonds, other evidences of
4 indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants subject to interest
5 rate limitations set forth therein", approved May 26, 1970, as
6 now or hereafter amended, and, if issued at such maximum
7 annual rate, shall be sold for not less than par and accrued
8 interest. If any of the bonds are issued to bear interest at a
9 rate of less than such maximum annual rate the minimum price at
10 which they may be sold shall be such that the interest cost to
11 the board on the proceeds of the bonds shall not exceed such
12 maximum annual rate computed to stated maturity according to
13 standard tables of bond values. The resolution of the board
14 authorizing the issuance of its bonds may provide that
15 interest rates may vary from time to time depending upon
16 criteria established by the board, which may include, without
17 limitation, a variation in interest rates as may be necessary
18 to cause bonds to be remarketable from time to time at a price
19 equal to their principal amount, and may provide for
20 appointment of a national banking association, bank, trust
21 company, investment banker, or other financial institution to
22 serve as a remarketing agent in that connection. The
23 resolution of the board authorizing the issuance of its bonds
24 may provide that alternative interest rates or provisions will
25 apply during such times as the bonds are held by a person
26 providing a letter of credit or other credit enhancement
SB2394 Enrolled - 1605 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 arrangement for those bonds.
2 Whenever the board desires to issue bonds as authorized in
3 this Section, it shall adopt a resolution designating the
4 purpose for which the proceeds of the bonds are to be expended
5 and fixing the amount of the bonds proposed to be issued, the
6 maturity or maturities thereof, and optional provisions, if
7 any, the rate of interest thereon, and the amount of taxes to
8 be levied annually for the purpose of paying the interest upon
9 and the principal, whether due at maturity or upon sinking
10 fund installment dates, of such bonds.
11 Said bonds shall be issued in the corporate name of the
12 school district. They shall be signed by the president and
13 secretary of said board. They shall be sold upon such terms as
14 may be approved by the board after advertisement for bids as
15 ordered by and under the direction of the board, and the
16 proceeds thereof shall be received by the city treasurer, as
17 school treasurer, and expended by the board for the purposes
18 provided in the bond resolution.
19 Before or at the time of issuing any bonds authorized in
20 this Section, the board shall, by resolution, provide for the
21 levy and collection of a direct annual tax upon all the taxable
22 property of such school district sufficient to pay and
23 discharge the principal thereof at maturity, or upon sinking
24 fund installment dates, and to pay the interest thereon as it
25 falls due. Such tax shall be levied and collected in like
26 manner with the other taxes of such school district and shall
SB2394 Enrolled - 1606 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 be in addition to and exclusive of the maximum of all other
2 taxes which such board is now, or may hereafter be, authorized
3 by law to levy for any and all school purposes. Upon the filing
4 in the office of the county clerk of the county wherein such
5 school district is located of a duly certified copy of any such
6 resolution, it shall be the duty of such county clerk to extend
7 the tax therein provided for, including an amount to cover
8 loss and cost of collecting said taxes and also deferred
9 collections thereof and abatements in the amounts of such
10 taxes as extended upon the collector's books. The resolution
11 shall be in force upon its passage.

14 Sec. 34A-502. Terms of Bonds.
15 (a) Whenever the Authority desires or is required to issue
16 Bonds as provided in this Article, it shall adopt a resolution
17 designating the amount of the Bonds to be issued, the purposes
18 for which the proceeds of the Bonds are to be used and the
19 manner in which such proceeds shall be held pending the
20 application thereof. The Bonds shall be issued in the
21 corporate name of the Authority, shall bear such date or
22 dates, and shall mature at such time or times not exceeding 30
23 years from their date as such resolution may provide;
24 provided, however, that Bonds issued on or after July 1, 1993
25 shall mature on or before June 1, 2009. The Bonds may be issued
SB2394 Enrolled - 1607 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

6 carry such registration privileges, be executed in such
7 manner, be payable at such place or places, and be subject to
8 such terms of redemption at such redemption prices, including
9 premium, as such resolution may provide. The Bonds shall be
10 sold by the Authority at public sale. The Bonds shall be sold
11 to the highest and best bidders upon sealed bids. The
12 Authority shall, from time to time as Bonds are to be sold,
13 advertise in at least 2 daily newspapers, one of which is
14 published in the City of Springfield and one in the City of
15 Chicago, for proposals to purchase Bonds. Each of such
16 advertisements for proposals shall be published at least 10
17 ten days prior to the date of the opening of the bids. The
18 Authority may reserve the right to reject any and all bids.
19 (b) Bonds issued prior to December 31, 1980 shall bear
20 interest at such rate or rates and at such price or prices as
21 the Authority may approve in the resolution authorizing the
22 issuance of Bonds. Bonds issued after December 31, 1980 shall
23 bear interest at a rate or rates not to exceed the maximum
24 annual rate provided for in Section 2 of the Bond
25 Authorization Act "An Act to authorize public corporations to
26 issue bonds, other evidences of indebtedness and tax
SB2394 Enrolled - 1608 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 anticipation warrants subject to interest rate limitations set
2 forth therein", approved May 26, 1970, as amended, and, if
3 issued at such maximum annual rate, shall be sold for not less
4 than par and accrued interest. If any of the Bonds are issued
5 to bear interest at a rate of less than such maximum annual
6 rate the minimum price at which they may be sold shall be such
7 that the interest cost to the Authority on the proceeds of the
8 Bonds shall not exceed such maximum annual rate computed to
9 stated maturity according to standard tables of bond values.
10 (c) In connection with the issuance of its Bonds, the
11 Authority may enter into arrangements to provide additional
12 security and liquidity for the Bonds. These may include,
13 without limitation, municipal bond insurance, letters of
14 credit, lines of credit by which the Authority may borrow
15 funds to pay or redeem its Bonds, and purchase or remarketing
16 arrangements for assuring the ability of owners of the
17 Authority's Bonds to sell or to have redeemed their Bonds. The
18 Authority may enter into contracts and may agree to pay fees to
19 persons providing such arrangements, including from Bond
20 proceeds but only under circumstances in which the total
21 interest paid or to be paid on the Bonds, together with the
22 fees for the arrangements (being treated as if interest),
23 would not, taken together, cause the Bonds to bear interest,
24 calculated to their absolute maturity, at a rate in excess of
25 the maximum rate allowed by law.
26 The resolution of the Authority authorizing the issuance
SB2394 Enrolled - 1609 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 of its Bonds may provide that interest rates may vary from time
2 to time depending upon criteria established by the Authority,
3 which may include, without limitation, a variation in interest
4 rates as may be necessary to cause Bonds to be remarketable
5 from time to time at a price equal to their principal amount,
6 and may provide for appointment of a national banking
7 association, bank, trust company, investment banker, or other
8 financial institution to serve as a remarketing agent in that
9 connection. The resolution of the Authority authorizing the
10 issuance of its Bonds may provide that alternative interest
11 rates or provisions will apply during such times as the Bonds
12 are held by a person providing a letter of credit or other
13 credit enhancement arrangement for those Bonds.

24 objection thereto, and refusal to take or participate in the
25 course or program or the training shall not be reason for
26 suspension or expulsion of the pupil.

25 qualified student withdraws from enrollment prior to
26 completion of the first semester or quarter for which the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1683 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

3 2023. If the Commission does not receive enough applications
4 from qualified male minorities on or before January 1 of each
5 fiscal year to award 35% of the funds appropriated for these
6 scholarships to qualified male minority applicants, then the
7 Commission may award a portion of the reserved funds to
8 qualified female minority applicants in accordance with
9 subsection (j).
10 Beginning with fiscal year 2023, if at least $2,850,000
11 but less than $4,200,000 is appropriated in a given fiscal

13 least 10% of the funds appropriated shall be reserved for
14 qualified bilingual minority applicants, with priority being
15 given to qualified bilingual minority applicants who are
16 enrolled in an educator preparation program with a
17 concentration in bilingual, bicultural education. Beginning
18 with fiscal year 2023, if at least $4,200,000 is appropriated
19 in a given fiscal year for the Minority Teachers of Illinois
20 scholarship program, then at least 30% of the funds
21 appropriated shall be reserved for qualified bilingual
22 minority applicants, with priority being given to qualified
23 bilingual minority applicants who are enrolled in an educator
24 preparation program with a concentration in bilingual,
25 bicultural education. Beginning with fiscal year 2023, if at

1 scholarships awarded under this Section but the Commission
2 does not receive enough applications from qualified bilingual
3 minority applicants on or before January 1 of that fiscal year
4 to award at least 10% of the funds appropriated to qualified
5 bilingual minority applicants, then the Commission may, in its
6 discretion, award a portion of the reserved funds to other
7 qualified students in accordance with subsection (j).
8 (l) Prior to receiving scholarship assistance for any
9 academic year, each recipient of a minority teacher
10 scholarship awarded under this Section shall be required by
11 the Commission to sign an agreement under which the recipient
12 pledges that, within the one-year period following the
13 termination of the program for which the recipient was awarded
14 a minority teacher scholarship, the recipient (i) shall begin
15 teaching for a period of not less than one year for each year

9 the scholarships received, prorated according to the fraction
10 of the teaching obligation not completed, at a rate of

12 collection fees. If a recipient who enters into repayment
13 under this subsection (m) subsequently, within 5 years of

16 Commission may reduce the amount owed by the recipient in
17 proportion to the amount of the teaching obligation completed.
18 The Commission is authorized to establish rules relating to
19 its collection activities for repayment of scholarships under
20 this Section. All repayments collected under this Section
21 shall be forwarded to the State Comptroller for deposit into
22 the State's General Revenue Fund.
23 (n) A recipient of minority teacher scholarship shall not
24 be considered in violation of the agreement entered into

20 from a program of teacher education but remain enrolled in
21 school to continue their postsecondary studies in another
22 academic discipline shall not be required to commence
23 repayment of their Minority Teachers of Illinois scholarship

20 commitments and elect to continue teaching in targeted
21 disciplines and hard-to-staff schools, and to ensure that

21 issued or delivered until the Director shall have approved
22 such policy pursuant to the provisions of Section 143. If the
23 Director disapproves the policy form, he or she shall make a
24 written decision stating the respects in which such form does
25 not comply with the requirements of law and shall deliver a
26 copy thereof to the company and it shall be unlawful
SB2394 Enrolled - 1773 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 thereafter for any such company to issue any policy in such
2 form. On and after January 1, 2025, any form filing submitted
3 for large employer group accident and health insurance shall
4 be automatically deemed approved within 90 days of the
5 submission date unless the Director extends by not more than
6 an additional 30 days the period within which the form shall be
7 approved or disapproved by giving written notice to the
8 insurer of such extension before the expiration of the 90
9 days. Any form in receipt of such an extension shall be
10 automatically deemed approved within 120 days of the
11 submission date. The Director may toll the filing due to a
12 conflict in legal interpretation of federal or State law as
13 long as the tolling is applied uniformly to all applicable
14 forms, written notification is provided to the insurer prior
15 to the tolling, the duration of the tolling is provided within
16 the notice to the insurer, and justification for the tolling
17 is posted to the Department's website. The Director may
18 disapprove the filing if the insurer fails to respond to an
19 objection or request for additional information within the
20 timeframe identified for response. As used in this subsection,
21 "large employer" has the meaning given in Section 5 of the
22 federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
23 (c) For plan year 2026 and thereafter, premium rates for
24 all individual and small group accident and health insurance
25 policies must be filed with the Department for approval.
26 Unreasonable rate increases or inadequate rates shall be
SB2394 Enrolled - 1774 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 modified or disapproved. For any plan year during which the
2 Illinois Health Benefits Exchange operates as a full
3 State-based exchange, the Department shall provide insurers at
4 least 30 days' notice of the deadline to submit rate filings.
5 (c-5) Unless prohibited under federal law, for plan year
6 2026 and thereafter, each insurer proposing to offer a
7 qualified health plan issued in the individual market through
8 the Illinois Health Benefits Exchange must incorporate the
9 following approach in its rate filing under this Section:
10 (1) The rate filing must apply a cost-sharing
11 reduction defunding adjustment factor within a range that:
12 (A) is uniform across all insurers;
13 (B) is consistent with the total adjustment
14 expected to be needed to cover actual cost-sharing
15 reduction costs across all silver plans on the
16 Illinois Health Benefits Exchange statewide, provided
17 that such costs are calculated assuming utilization by
18 the State's full individual-market risk pool; and
19 (C) assumes that the only on-Exchange silver plans
20 that will be purchased are the 87% and 94%
21 cost-sharing reduction variations.
22 (2) The rate filing must apply an induced demand
23 factor based on the following formula: (Plan Actuarial
24 Value)2 - (Plan Actuarial Value) + 1.24.
25 In the annual notice to insurers described in subsection
26 (c), the Department must include the specific numerical range
SB2394 Enrolled - 1775 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 calculated for the applicable plan year under paragraph (1) of
2 this subsection (c-5) and the formula in paragraph (2) of this
3 subsection (c-5).
4 (d) For plan year 2025 and thereafter, the Department
5 shall post all insurers' rate filings and summaries on the
6 Department's website 5 business days after the rate filing
7 deadline set by the Department in annual guidance. The rate
8 filings and summaries posted to the Department's website shall
9 exclude information that is proprietary or trade secret
10 information protected under paragraph (g) of subsection (1) of
11 Section 7 of the Freedom of Information Act or confidential or
12 privileged under any applicable insurance law or rule. All
13 summaries shall include a brief justification of any rate
14 increase or decrease requested, including the number of
15 individual members, the medical loss ratio, medical trend,
16 administrative costs, and any other information required by
17 rule. The plain writing summary shall include notification of
18 the public comment period established in subsection (e).
19 (e) The Department shall open a 30-day public comment
20 period on the rate filings beginning on the date that all of
21 the rate filings are posted on the Department's website. The
22 Department shall post all of the comments received to the
23 Department's website within 5 business days after the comment
24 period ends.
25 (f) After the close of the public comment period described
26 in subsection (e), the Department, beginning for plan year
SB2394 Enrolled - 1776 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 2026, shall issue a decision to approve, disapprove, or modify
2 a rate filing within 60 days. Any rate filing or any rates
3 within a filing on which the Director does not issue a decision
4 within 60 days shall automatically be deemed approved. The
5 Director's decision shall take into account the actuarial
6 justifications and public comments. The Department shall
7 notify the insurer of the decision, make the decision
8 available to the public by posting it on the Department's
9 website, and include an explanation of the findings, actuarial
10 justifications, and rationale that are the basis for the
11 decision. Any company whose rate has been modified or
12 disapproved shall be allowed to request a hearing within 10
13 days after the action taken. The action of the Director in
14 disapproving a rate shall be subject to judicial review under
15 the Administrative Review Law.
16 (g) If, following the issuance of a decision but before
17 the effective date of the premium rates approved by the
18 decision, an event occurs that materially affects the
19 Director's decision to approve, deny, or modify the rates, the
20 Director may consider supplemental facts or data reasonably
21 related to the event.
22 (h) The Department shall adopt rules implementing the
23 procedures described in subsections (d) through (g) by March
24 31, 2024.
25 (i) Subsection (a), subsections (c) through (h), and
26 subsection (j) of this Section do not apply to grandfathered
SB2394 Enrolled - 1777 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 health plans as defined in 45 CFR 147.140; excepted benefits
2 as defined in 42 U.S.C. 300gg-91; or student health insurance
3 coverage as defined in 45 CFR 147.145. For a filing of premium
4 rates or classifications of risk for any of these types of
5 coverage, the Director's initial review period shall not
6 exceed 60 days to issue informal objections to the company
7 that request additional clarification, explanation,
8 substantiating documentation, or correction of concerns
9 identified in the filing before the company implements the
10 premium rates, classifications, or related rate-setting
11 methodologies described in the filing, except that the
12 Director may extend by not more than an additional 30 days the
13 period of initial review by giving written notice to the
14 company of such extension before the expiration of the initial
15 60-day period. Nothing in this subsection shall confer
16 authority upon the Director to approve, modify, or disapprove
17 rates where that authority is not provided by other law.
18 Nothing in this subsection shall prohibit the Director from
19 conducting any investigation, examination, hearing, or other
20 formal administrative or enforcement proceeding with respect
21 to a company's rate filing or implementation thereof under
22 applicable law at any time, including after the period of
23 initial review.
24 (j) Subsection (a) and subsections (c) through (h) do not
25 apply to group policies issued in the large group market as
26 defined in Section 5 of the Illinois Health Insurance
SB2394 Enrolled - 1778 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Portability and Accountability Act. For large group policies
2 issued, delivered, amended, or renewed on or after January 1,
3 2026 that are not described in subsection (i), the premium
4 rates and risk classifications, including any rate manuals and
5 rules used to arrive at the rates, must be filed with the
6 Department annually for approval at least 120 days before the
7 rates are intended to take effect.
8 (1) A rate filing shall be modified or disapproved if
9 the premiums are unreasonable in relation to the benefits
10 because the rates were not calculated in accordance with
11 sound actuarial principles.
12 (2) Within 60 days of receipt of the rate filing, the
13 Director shall issue a decision to approve, disapprove, or
14 modify the filing along with the reasons and actuarial
15 justification for the decision. Any rate filing or rates
16 within a filing on which the Director does not issue a
17 decision within 60 days shall be automatically deemed
18 approved.
19 (3) Any company whose rate or rate filing has been
20 modified or disapproved shall be allowed to request a
21 hearing within 10 days after the action taken. The action
22 of the Director in disapproving a rate or rate filing
23 shall be subject to judicial review under the
24 Administrative Review Law.
25 (4) Nothing in this subsection requires a company to
26 file a large group policy's final premium rates for prior
SB2394 Enrolled - 1779 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 approval if the company negotiates the final rates or rate
2 adjustments with the plan sponsor or its administrator in
3 accordance with the rate manual and rules of the currently
4 approved rate filing for the policy.
5 In this subsection, "administrator" and "plan sponsor"
6 have the meanings meaning given to those terms in 29 U.S.C.
7 1002(16).

13 (a) In this Section, "prescription inhaler" means a
14 prescribed medical device that delivers inhaled medications
15 used to treat breathing for persons suffering from asthma or
16 other life-threatening bronchial ailments. "Prescription
17 inhaler" includes metered-dose inhalers, nebulizers, and dry
18 powder inhalers. "Prescription inhaler" does not include
19 inhalers available over the counter without a prescription to
20 provide temporary relief from respiratory symptoms.
21 (b) A group or individual policy of accident and health
22 insurance or managed care plan amended, delivered, issued, or
23 renewed through December 31, 2025 that provides coverage for
24 prescription drugs may not deny or limit coverage for
25 prescription inhalers to enable persons to breathe when
SB2394 Enrolled - 1780 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 suffering from asthma or other life-threatening bronchial
2 ailments based upon any restriction on the number of days
3 before an inhaler refill may be obtained if, contrary to those
4 restrictions, the inhalants have been ordered or prescribed by
5 the treating physician and are medically appropriate.
6 (c) A group or individual policy of accident and health
7 insurance or managed care plan amended, delivered, issued, or
8 renewed on or after January 1, 2026 that provides coverage for
9 prescription drugs may not deny or limit, except as otherwise
10 provided in this subsection, coverage for prescription
11 inhalers to enable persons to breathe when suffering from
12 asthma or other life-threatening bronchial ailments based upon
13 any restriction on the number of days before an inhaler refill
14 may be obtained if, contrary to those restrictions, the
15 inhalants have been ordered or prescribed by the treating
16 physician and are medically appropriate. A group or individual
17 policy of accident and health insurance or managed care plan
18 subject to this subsection shall limit the total amount that a
19 covered person is required to pay for a covered prescription
20 inhaler to an amount not to exceed $25 per 30-day supply.
21 (d) Nothing in this Section prevents a group or individual
22 policy of accident and health insurance or managed care plan
23 from reducing a covered person's cost sharing to an amount
24 less than the amount specified in subsection (c).
25 (e) Coverage for prescription inhalers shall not be
26 subject to any deductible; except that this provision does not
SB2394 Enrolled - 1781 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 apply to the extent such coverage would disqualify a
2 high-deductible health plan from eligibility for a health
3 savings account pursuant to Section 223 of the Internal
4 Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 223).
5 (f) The Department may adopt rules necessary to implement
6 and administer this Section and to align with federal
7 requirements. The Department may use any of its enforcement
8 powers to obtain a group or individual policy of accident and
9 health insurance's or managed care plan's compliance with this
10 Section.

13 Sec. 356z.14. Autism spectrum disorders.
14 (a) A group or individual policy of accident and health
15 insurance or managed care plan amended, delivered, issued, or
16 renewed after December 12, 2008 (the effective date of Public
17 Act 95-1005) must provide individuals under 21 years of age
18 coverage for the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders and
19 for the treatment of autism spectrum disorders to the extent
20 that the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders
21 are not already covered by the policy of accident and health
22 insurance or managed care plan.
23 (b) Coverage provided under this Section shall be subject
24 to a maximum benefit of $36,000 per year, but shall not be
25 subject to any limits on the number of visits to a service
SB2394 Enrolled - 1782 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 provider. The After December 30, 2009, the Director of the
2 Division of Insurance shall, on an annual basis, adjust the
3 maximum benefit for inflation using the Medical Care Component
4 of the United States Department of Labor Consumer Price Index
5 for All Urban Consumers. Payments made by an insurer on behalf
6 of a covered individual for any care, treatment, intervention,
7 service, or item, the provision of which was for the treatment
8 of a health condition not diagnosed as an autism spectrum
9 disorder, shall not be applied toward any maximum benefit
10 established under this subsection.
11 (c) Coverage under this Section shall be subject to
12 copayment, deductible, and coinsurance provisions of a policy
13 of accident and health insurance or managed care plan to the
14 extent that other medical services covered by the policy of
15 accident and health insurance or managed care plan are subject
16 to these provisions.
17 (d) This Section shall not be construed as limiting
18 benefits that are otherwise available to an individual under a
19 policy of accident and health insurance or managed care plan
20 and benefits provided under this Section may not be subject to
21 dollar limits, deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance
22 provisions that are less favorable to the insured than the
23 dollar limits, deductibles, or coinsurance provisions that
24 apply to physical illness generally.
25 (e) An insurer may not deny or refuse to provide otherwise
26 covered services, or refuse to renew, refuse to reissue, or
SB2394 Enrolled - 1783 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 otherwise terminate or restrict coverage under an individual
2 contract to provide services to an individual because the
3 individual or the individual's their dependent is diagnosed
4 with an autism spectrum disorder or due to the individual
5 utilizing benefits in this Section.
6 (e-5) An insurer may not deny or refuse to provide
7 otherwise covered services under a group or individual policy
8 of accident and health insurance or a managed care plan solely
9 because of the location wherein the clinically appropriate
10 services are provided.
11 (f) Upon request of the reimbursing insurer, a provider of
12 treatment for autism spectrum disorders shall furnish medical
13 records, clinical notes, or other necessary data that
14 substantiate that initial or continued medical treatment is
15 medically necessary and is resulting in improved clinical
16 status. When treatment is anticipated to require continued
17 services to achieve demonstrable progress, the insurer may
18 request a treatment plan consisting of diagnosis, proposed
19 treatment by type, frequency, anticipated duration of
20 treatment, the anticipated outcomes stated as goals, and the
21 frequency by which the treatment plan will be updated.
22 (g) When making a determination of medical necessity for a
23 treatment modality for autism spectrum disorders, an insurer
24 must make the determination in a manner that is consistent
25 with the manner used to make that determination with respect
26 to other diseases or illnesses covered under the policy,
SB2394 Enrolled - 1784 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 including an appeals process. During the appeals process, any
2 challenge to medical necessity must be viewed as reasonable
3 only if the review includes a physician with expertise in the
4 most current and effective treatment modalities for autism
5 spectrum disorders.
6 (h) Coverage for medically necessary early intervention
7 services must be delivered by certified early intervention
8 specialists, as defined in 89 Ill. Adm. Code 500 and any
9 subsequent amendments thereto.
10 (h-5) If an individual has been diagnosed as having an
11 autism spectrum disorder, meeting the diagnostic criteria in
12 place at the time of diagnosis, and treatment is determined
13 medically necessary, then that individual shall remain
14 eligible for coverage under this Section even if subsequent
15 changes to the diagnostic criteria are adopted by the American
16 Psychiatric Association. If no changes to the diagnostic
17 criteria are adopted after April 1, 2012, and before December
18 31, 2014, then this subsection (h-5) shall be of no further
19 force and effect.
20 (h-10) An insurer may not deny or refuse to provide
21 covered services, or refuse to renew, refuse to reissue, or
22 otherwise terminate or restrict coverage under an individual
23 contract, for a person diagnosed with an autism spectrum
24 disorder on the basis that the individual declined an
25 alternative medication or covered service when the
26 individual's health care provider has determined that such
SB2394 Enrolled - 1785 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 medication or covered service may exacerbate clinical
2 symptomatology and is medically contraindicated for the
3 individual and the individual has requested and received a
4 medical exception as provided for under Section 45.1 of the
5 Managed Care Reform and Patient Rights Act. For the purposes
6 of this subsection (h-10), "clinical symptomatology" means any
7 indication of disorder or disease when experienced by an
8 individual as a change from normal function, sensation, or
9 appearance.
10 (h-15) If, at any time, the Secretary of the United States

15 would require the State, pursuant to any provision of the
16 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law
17 111-148), including, but not limited to, 42 U.S.C.
18 18031(d)(3)(B) or any successor provision, to defray the cost
19 of any coverage outlined in subsection (h-10), then subsection
20 (h-10) is inoperative with respect to all coverage outlined in
21 subsection (h-10) other than that authorized under Section
22 1902 of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 1396a, and the State

23 physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches or
24 (B) a certified, registered, or licensed health care

1 received any treatment, including the same or similar
2 treatment, for pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders

14 charged or assessed against, or collected or received from
15 the borrower.
16 (f) Under a policy or contract issued to a sports team
17 or to a camp, which team or camp sponsor shall be deemed
18 the policyholder, covering members or campers.
19 (g) Under a policy or contract issued to any other
20 substantially similar group which, in the discretion of
21 the Director, may be subject to the issuance of a blanket
22 accident and health policy or contract.
23 (2) Any insurance company authorized to write accident and
24 health insurance in this state shall have the power to issue
25 blanket accident and health insurance. No such blanket policy
26 may be issued or delivered in this State unless a copy of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1832 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 form thereof shall have been filed in accordance with Section
2 355, and it contains in substance such of those provisions
3 contained in Sections 357.1 through 357.30 as may be
4 applicable to blanket accident and health insurance and the
5 following provisions:
6 (a) A provision that the policy and the application
7 shall constitute the entire contract between the parties,
8 and that all statements made by the policyholder shall, in
9 absence of fraud, be deemed representations and not
10 warranties, and that no such statements shall be used in
11 defense to a claim under the policy, unless it is
12 contained in a written application.

14 originally insured shall be added from time to time all
15 new persons or individuals eligible for coverage.
16 (3) An individual application shall not be required from a
17 person covered under a blanket accident or health policy or
18 contract, nor shall it be necessary for the insurer to furnish
19 each person a certificate.
20 (3.5) Subsection (3) does not apply to major medical
21 insurance, or to any excepted benefits or short-term,
22 limited-duration health insurance coverage for which an
23 insured individual pays premiums or contributions. In those
24 cases, the insurer shall require an individual application or
25 enrollment form and shall furnish each insured individual a
26 certificate, which shall have been approved by the Director
SB2394 Enrolled - 1833 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 under Section 355 of this Code.
2 (4) All benefits under any blanket accident and health
3 policy shall be payable to the person insured, or to his
4 designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, or to his or her
5 estate, except that if the person insured be a minor or person
6 under legal disability, such benefits may be made payable to
7 his or her parent, guardian, or other person actually
8 supporting him or her. Provided further, however, that the
9 policy may provide that all or any portion of any indemnities
10 provided by any such policy on account of hospital, nursing,
11 medical or surgical services may, at the insurer's option, be
12 paid directly to the hospital or person rendering such
13 services; but the policy may not require that the service be
14 rendered by a particular hospital or person. Payment so made
15 shall discharge the insurer's obligation with respect to the
16 amount of insurance so paid.

24 this Section:
25 1. The terms "municipality", "deferred pensioner" and
SB2394 Enrolled - 1834 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 "creditable service" shall have the meaning ascribed to such
2 terms by Sections 4-103, 4-105a, and 4-108, respectively, of
3 the Illinois Pension Code, as now or hereafter amended.
4 2. "Firefighter" means a person who is a "firefighter" as

11 3. The "retirement or disability period" of a firefighter
12 means the period:
13 a. which begins on the day the firefighter is removed
14 from a municipality's fire department payroll because of
15 the occurrence of any of the following events, to wit: (i)
16 the firefighter retires as a deferred pensioner under
17 Section 4-105a of the Illinois Pension Code, (ii) the
18 firefighter retires from active service as a firefighter
19 with an attained age and accumulated creditable service
20 which together qualify the firefighter for immediate
21 receipt of retirement pension benefits under Section 4-109
22 of the Illinois Pension Code, or (iii) the firefighter's
23 disability is established under Section 4-112 of the
24 Illinois Pension Code; and
25 b. which ends on the first to occur of any of the
26 following events, to wit: (i) the firefighter's
SB2394 Enrolled - 1835 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

4 firefighter's exercise of any refund option available
5 under Section 4-116 of the Illinois Pension Code, (iii)
6 the firefighter's loss pursuant to Section 4-138 of the
7 Illinois Pension Code of any benefits provided for in
8 Article 4 of that Code, or (iv) the firefighter's death or
9 -- if at the time of the firefighter's death the
10 firefighter is survived by a spouse who, in that capacity,
11 is entitled to receive a surviving spouse's monthly
12 pension pursuant to Article 4 of the Illinois Pension Code
13 -- then the death or remarriage of that spouse.
14 No policy of group accident and health insurance under
15 which firefighters employed by a municipality are insured for
16 their individual benefit shall be issued or delivered in this
17 State to any municipality unless such group policy provides
18 for the election of continued group insurance coverage for the
19 retirement or disability period of each firefighter who is
20 insured under the provisions of the group policy on the day
21 immediately preceding the day on which the retirement or
22 disability period of such firefighter begins. So long as any
23 required premiums for continued group insurance coverage are
24 paid in accordance with the provisions of the group policy, an
25 election made pursuant to this Section shall provide continued
26 group insurance coverage for a firefighter throughout the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1836 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 retirement or disability period of the firefighter and, unless
2 the firefighter otherwise elects and subject to any other
3 provisions of the group policy which relate either to the
4 provision or to the termination of dependents' coverage and
5 which are not inconsistent with this Section, for any
6 dependents of the firefighter who are insured under the group
7 policy on the day immediately preceding the day on which the
8 retirement or disability period of the firefighter begins;
9 provided, however, that when such continued group insurance
10 coverage is in effect with respect to a firefighter on the date
11 of the firefighter's death but the retirement or disability
12 period of the firefighter does not end with such firefighter's
13 death, then the deceased firefighter's surviving spouse upon
14 whose death or remarriage such retirement or disability period
15 will end shall be entitled, without further election and upon
16 payment of any required premiums in accordance with the
17 provisions of the group policy, to maintain such continued
18 group insurance coverage in effect until the end of such
19 retirement or disability period. Continued group insurance
20 coverage shall be provided in accordance with this Section at
21 the same premium rate from time to time charged for equivalent
22 coverage provided under the group policy with respect to
23 covered firefighters whose retirement or disability period has
24 not begun, and no distinction or discrimination in the amount
25 or rate of premiums or in any waiver of premium or other
26 benefit provision shall be made between continued group
SB2394 Enrolled - 1837 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 insurance coverage elected pursuant to this Section and
2 equivalent coverage provided to firefighters under the group
3 policy other than pursuant to the provisions of this Section;
4 provided that no municipality shall be required by reason of
5 any provision of this Section to pay any group insurance
6 premium other than one that may be negotiated in a collective
7 bargaining agreement. If a person electing continued coverage
8 under this Section becomes eligible for medicare coverage,
9 benefits under the group policy may continue as a supplement
10 to the medicare coverage upon payment of any required premiums
11 to maintain the benefits of the group policy as supplemental
12 coverage.
13 Within 15 days of the beginning of the retirement or
14 disability period of any firefighter entitled to elect
15 continued group insurance coverage under any group policy
16 affected by this Section, the municipality last employing such
17 firefighter shall give written notice of such beginning by
18 certified mail, return receipt requested to the insurance
19 company issuing such policy. The notice shall include the
20 firefighter's name and last known place of residence and the
21 beginning date of the firefighter's retirement or disability
22 period.
23 Within 15 days of the date of receipt of such notice from
24 the municipality, the insurance company by certified mail,
25 return receipt requested, shall give written notice to the
26 firefighter at the firefighter's last known place of residence
SB2394 Enrolled - 1838 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 that coverage under the group policy may be continued for the
2 retirement or disability period of the firefighter as provided
3 in this Section. Such notice shall set forth: (i) a statement
4 of election to be filed by the firefighter if the firefighter
5 wishes to continue such group insurance coverage, (ii) the
6 amount of monthly premium, including a statement of the
7 portion of such monthly premium attributable to any
8 dependents' coverage which the firefighter may elect, and
9 (iii) instructions as to the return of the election form to the
10 insurance company issuing such policy. Election shall be made,
11 if at all, by returning the statement of election to the
12 insurance company by certified mail, return receipt requested
13 within 15 days after having received it.
14 If the firefighter elects to continue coverage, it shall
15 be the obligation of the firefighter to pay the monthly
16 premium directly to the municipality, which shall forward it
17 to the insurance company issuing the group insurance policy,
18 or as otherwise directed by the insurance company; provided,
19 however, that the firefighter shall be entitled to designate
20 on the statement of election required to be filed with the
21 insurance company that the total monthly premium, or such
22 portion thereof as is not contributed by a municipality, be
23 deducted by a Firefighter's Pension Fund from any monthly
24 pension payment otherwise payable to or on behalf of the
25 firefighter pursuant to Article 4 of the Illinois Pension
26 Code, and be remitted by such Pension Fund to the insurance
SB2394 Enrolled - 1839 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 company. The portion, if any, of the monthly premium
2 contributed by a municipality for such continued group
3 insurance coverage shall be paid by the municipality directly
4 to the insurance company issuing the group insurance policy,
5 or as otherwise directed by the insurance company. Such
6 continued group insurance coverage shall relate back to the
7 beginning of the firefighter's retirement or disability
8 period.
9 The amendment, renewal, or extension of any group
10 insurance policy affected by this Section shall be deemed to
11 be the issuance of a new policy of insurance for purposes of
12 this Section.
13 In the event that a municipality makes a program of
14 accident, health, hospital, or medical benefits available to
15 its firefighters through self-insurance, or by participation
16 in a pool or reciprocal insurer, or by contract in a form other
17 than a policy of group insurance with one or more medical
18 service plans, health care service corporations, health
19 maintenance organizations, or any other professional
20 corporations or plans under which health care or reimbursement
21 for the costs thereof is provided, whether the cost of such
22 benefits is borne by the municipality or the firefighters or
23 both, such firefighters and their surviving spouses shall have
24 the same right to elect continued coverage under such program
25 of benefits as they would have if such benefits were provided
26 by a policy of group accident and health insurance. In such
SB2394 Enrolled - 1840 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 cases, the notice of right to elect continued coverage shall
2 be sent by the municipality; the statement of election shall
3 be sent to the municipality; and references to the required
4 premium shall refer to that portion of the cost of such
5 benefits which is not borne by the municipality, either
6 voluntarily or pursuant to the provisions of a collective
7 bargaining agreement. In the case of a municipality providing
8 such benefits through self-insurance or participation in a
9 pool or reciprocal insurer, the right to elect continued
10 coverage which is provided by this paragraph shall be
11 implemented and made available to the firefighters of the
12 municipality and qualifying surviving spouses not later than
13 July 1, 1985.
14 The amendment, renewal, or extension of any such contract
15 in a form other than a policy of group insurance policy shall
16 be deemed the formation of a new contract for the purposes of
17 this Section.
18 This Section shall not limit the exercise of any
19 conversion privileges available under Section 367e.
20 Pursuant to paragraphs (h) and (i) of Section 6 of Article

16 (k) An insurer shall base any medical necessity

18 (m) In conducting utilization review relating to level of
19 care placement, continued stay, transfer, discharge, or any
20 other patient care decisions that are within the scope of the
21 sources specified in subsection (l), an insurer shall not
22 apply different, additional, conflicting, or more restrictive
23 utilization review criteria than the criteria set forth in
24 those sources. For all level of care placement decisions, the
25 insurer shall authorize placement at the level of care
26 consistent with the assessment of the insured using the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1862 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

15 patient care decisions used by the insurer pursuant to
16 subsection (m), the insurer may place the criteria on a
17 secure, password-protected website so long as the access
18 requirements of the website do not unreasonably restrict
19 access to insureds or their providers. No restrictions
20 shall be placed upon the insured's or treating provider's
21 access right to utilization review criteria obtained under
22 this paragraph at any point in time, including before an

12 provide for the remediation of poor interrater reliability
13 and interrater reliability testing for all new staff
14 before they can conduct utilization review without
15 supervision.
16 (8) Maintain documentation of interrater reliability

22 actions as part of parity compliance reporting set forth
23 in subsection (k) of Section 370c.1.

16 collected from penalties shall be deposited into the Parity
17 Advancement Fund established in subsection (i) of Section
18 370c.1.
19 (u) An insurer shall not adopt, impose, or enforce terms
20 in its policies or provider agreements, in writing or in
21 operation, that undermine, alter, or conflict with the
22 requirements of this Section.
23 (v) The provisions of this Section are severable. If any
24 provision of this Section or its application is held invalid,
25 that invalidity shall not affect other provisions or
26 applications that can be given effect without the invalid

14 fully developed and continuity services prepared to meet
15 the patient's needs and the patient's community preference
16 upon release. Nothing in this paragraph supersedes a
17 health maintenance organization's referral requirement for
18 services from nonparticipating providers upon a patient's
19 discharge from a hospital.
20 (3) Treatment provided under this subsection may be
21 reviewed retrospectively. If coverage is denied
22 retrospectively, neither the insurer nor the participating
23 hospital shall bill, and the insured shall not be liable,
24 for any treatment under this subsection through the date
25 the adverse determination is issued, other than any
26 copayment, coinsurance, or deductible for the stay through
SB2394 Enrolled - 1867 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

11 means a fact or situation that is not merely technical
12 in nature and results or could result in a substantial
13 change in the situation; or
14 (D) upon determination that a service was excluded
15 under the terms of coverage. In that case, the
16 limitation to billing for a copayment, coinsurance, or
17 deductible shall not apply.
18 (4) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to
19 require a policy to cover any health care service excluded
20 under the terms of coverage.
21 (x) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, nothing
22 shall require the medical assistance program under Article V
23 of the Illinois Public Aid Code to violate any applicable

14 Department of Insurance and insuring employers' liabilities
15 arising under the Workers' Compensation Act or the Workers'
16 Occupational Diseases Act shall remit to the Director a
17 surcharge based upon the annual direct written premium, as
18 reported under Section 136 of this Act, of the company in the
19 manner provided in this Section. Such proceeds shall be
20 deposited into the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission
21 Operations Fund as established in the Workers' Compensation
22 Act. If a company survives or was formed by a merger,
23 consolidation, reorganization, or reincorporation, the direct
24 written premiums of all companies party to the merger,
25 consolidation, reorganization, or reincorporation shall, for
SB2394 Enrolled - 1886 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 purposes of determining the amount of the fee imposed by this
2 Section, be regarded as those of the surviving or new company.
3 (b) Beginning on July 30, 2004 (the effective date of
4 Public Act 93-840) and on July 1 of each year thereafter
5 through 2023, the Director shall charge an annual Illinois
6 Workers' Compensation Commission Operations Fund Surcharge
7 from every company subject to subsection (a) of this Section
8 equal to 1.01% of its direct written premium for insuring
9 employers' liabilities arising under the Workers' Compensation
10 Act or Workers' Occupational Diseases Act as reported in each
11 company's annual statement filed for the previous year as
12 required by Section 136. Within 15 days after June 5, 2024 (the
13 effective date of Public Act 103-590) this amendatory Act of
14 the 103rd General Assembly and on July 1 of each year
15 thereafter, the Director shall charge an annual Illinois
16 Workers' Compensation Commission Operations Fund Surcharge
17 from every company subject to subsection (a) of this Section
18 equal to 1.092% of its direct written premium for insuring
19 employers' liabilities arising under the Workers' Compensation
20 Act or Workers' Occupational Diseases Act as reported in each
21 company's annual statement filed for the previous year as
22 required by Section 136. The Illinois Workers' Compensation
23 Commission Operations Fund Surcharge shall be collected by
24 companies subject to subsection (a) of this Section as a
25 separately stated surcharge on insured employers at the rate
26 of 1.092% of direct written premium for the surcharge due in
SB2394 Enrolled - 1887 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 Compensation Commission Operations Fund Surcharge shall not be
3 collected by companies subject to subsection (a) of this
4 Section from any employer that self-insures its liabilities
5 arising under the Workers' Compensation Act or Workers'
6 Occupational Diseases Act, provided that the employer has paid
7 the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission Operations Fund
8 Fee pursuant to Section 4d of the Workers' Compensation Act.
9 All sums collected by the Department of Insurance under the
10 provisions of this Section shall be paid promptly after the
11 receipt of the same, accompanied by a detailed statement
12 thereof, into the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission
13 Operations Fund in the State treasury.
14 (b)(2) (Blank).
15 (c) In addition to the authority specifically granted
16 under Article XXV of this Code, the Director shall have such
17 authority to adopt rules or establish forms as may be
18 reasonably necessary for purposes of enforcing this Section.
19 The Director shall also have authority to defer, waive, or
20 abate the surcharge or any penalties imposed by this Section
21 if in the Director's opinion the company's solvency and
22 ability to meet its insured obligations would be immediately
23 threatened by payment of the surcharge due.
24 (d) When a company fails to pay the full amount of any
25 annual Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission Operations
26 Fund Surcharge of $100 or more due under this Section, there
SB2394 Enrolled - 1888 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall be added to the amount due as a penalty an amount equal
2 to 10% of the deficiency for each month or part of a month that
3 the deficiency remains unpaid.
4 (e) The Department of Insurance may enforce the collection
5 of any delinquent payment, penalty, or portion thereof by
6 legal action or in any other manner by which the collection of
7 debts due the State of Illinois may be enforced under the laws
8 of this State.
9 (f) Whenever it appears to the satisfaction of the
10 Director that a company has paid pursuant to this Act an
11 Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission Operations Fund
12 Surcharge in an amount in excess of the amount legally
13 collectable from the company, the Director shall issue a
14 credit memorandum for an amount equal to the amount of such
15 overpayment. A credit memorandum may be applied for the 2-year
16 period from the date of issuance, against the payment of any
17 amount due during that period under the surcharge imposed by
18 this Section or, subject to reasonable rule of the Department
19 of Insurance including requirement of notification, may be
20 assigned to any other company subject to regulation under this
21 Act. Any application of credit memoranda after the period
22 provided for in this Section is void.
23 (g) Annually, the Governor may direct a transfer of up to
24 2% of all moneys collected under this Section to the Insurance
25 Financial Regulation Fund.

4 Sec. 500-35. License.
5 (a) Unless denied a license pursuant to Section 500-70,
6 persons who have met the requirements of Sections 500-25 and
7 500-30 shall be issued a 2-year insurance producer license. An
8 insurance producer may receive qualification for a license in
9 one or more of the following lines of authority:
10 (1) Life: insurance coverage on human lives including
11 benefits of endowment and annuities, and may include
12 benefits in the event of death or dismemberment by
13 accident and benefits for disability income.
14 (2) Variable life and variable annuity products:
15 insurance coverage provided under variable life insurance
16 contracts and variable annuities.
17 (3) Accident and health or sickness: insurance
18 coverage for sickness, bodily injury, or accidental death
19 and may include benefits for disability income.
20 (4) Property: insurance coverage for the direct or
21 consequential loss or damage to property of every kind.
22 (5) Casualty: insurance coverage against legal
23 liability, including that for death, injury, or disability
24 or damage to real or personal property.
25 (6) Personal lines: property and casualty insurance
SB2394 Enrolled - 1890 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 coverage sold to individuals and families for primarily
2 noncommercial purposes.
3 (7) Any other line of insurance permitted under State
4 laws or rules.
5 (b) An insurance producer license shall remain in effect
6 unless revoked or suspended as long as the fee set forth in
7 Section 500-135 is paid and education requirements for
8 resident individual producers are met by the due date.
9 (1) Before each license renewal, an insurance producer
10 must satisfactorily complete at least 24 hours of course
11 study or participation in a professional insurance
12 association under paragraph (3) of this subsection in
13 accordance with rules prescribed by the Director. Three of
14 the 24 hours of course study must consist of classroom or
15 webinar ethics instruction. The Director may not approve a
16 course of study unless the course provides for classroom,
17 seminar, webinar, or self-study instruction methods. A
18 course given in a combination instruction method of
19 classroom, seminar, webinar, or self-study shall be deemed
20 to be a self-study course unless the number of classroom,
21 seminar, or webinar certified hours meets or exceeds
22 two-thirds of total hours certified for the course. The
23 self-study material used in the combination course must be
24 directly related to and complement the classroom portion
25 of the course in order to be considered for credit. An
26 instruction method other than classroom or seminar shall
SB2394 Enrolled - 1891 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 be considered as self-study methodology. Self-study credit
2 hours require the successful completion of an examination
3 covering the self-study material. The examination may not
4 be self-evaluated. However, if the self-study material is
5 completed through the use of an approved computerized
6 interactive format whereby the computer validates the
7 successful completion of the self-study material, no
8 additional examination is required. The self-study credit
9 hours contained in a certified course shall be considered
10 classroom hours when at least two-thirds of the hours are
11 given as classroom or seminar instruction.
12 (2) An insurance producer license automatically
13 terminates when an insurance producer fails to
14 successfully meet the requirements of paragraph item (1)
15 of this subsection (b) of this Section. The producer must
16 complete the course in advance of the renewal date to
17 allow the education provider time to report the credit to
18 the Department.
19 (3) An insurance producer's active participation in a
20 State or national professional insurance association may
21 be approved by the Director for up to 4 hours of continuing
22 education credit per biennial reporting period. Credit
23 shall be provided on an hour-for-hour basis. These hours
24 shall be verified and submitted by the association on
25 behalf of the insurance producer and credited upon timely
26 filing with the Director or his or her designee on a
SB2394 Enrolled - 1892 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 biennial basis. Any association submitting continuing
2 education credit hours on behalf of insurance producers
3 must be registered as an education provider under Section
4 500-135. Credit granted under these provisions shall not
5 be used to satisfy ethics education requirements. Active
6 participation in a State or national professional
7 insurance association is defined by one of the following
8 methods:
9 (A) service on a board of directors of a State or
10 national chapter of the association;
11 (B) service on a formal committee of a State or
12 national chapter of the association; or
13 (C) service on a formal subcommittee or task force
14 of a State or national chapter of the association.
15 (c) A provider of a pre-licensing or continuing education
16 course required by Section 500-30 and this Section must pay a
17 registration fee and a course certification fee for each
18 course being certified as provided by Section 500-135.
19 (d) An individual insurance producer who allows his or her
20 license to lapse may, within 12 months after the due date of
21 the renewal fee, be issued a license without the necessity of
22 passing a written examination. However, a penalty in the
23 amount of double the unpaid renewal fee shall be required
24 after the due date.
25 (e) A licensed insurance producer who is unable to comply
26 with license renewal procedures due to military service may
SB2394 Enrolled - 1893 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 request a waiver of those procedures.
2 (f) The license must contain the licensee's name, address,
3 and personal identification number, the date of issuance, the
4 lines of authority, the expiration date, and any other
5 information the Director deems necessary.
6 (g) Licensees must inform the Director by any means
7 acceptable to the Director of a change of address within 30
8 days after the change.
9 (h) In order to assist in the performance of the
10 Director's duties, the Director may contract with a
11 non-governmental entity including the National Association of
12 Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), or any affiliates or
13 subsidiaries that the NAIC oversees, to perform any
14 ministerial functions, including collection of fees, related
15 to producer licensing that the Director and the
16 non-governmental entity may deem appropriate.

5 opportunity to request or participate in a hearing on the
6 examination report, the examination report shall not allege a
7 violation by the insurer or plan sponsor and the Director's
8 order based on the report shall not impose any requirements,
9 prohibitions, or penalties on the insurer or plan sponsor.
10 Nothing in this Section shall prevent the Director from using

12 administrator to examine, investigate, or take other
13 appropriate regulatory or legal action with respect to an

11 damage to property arises is permanently located in this
12 State or, in the case of an unearned premium claim, the
13 policyholder is a resident of this State at the time the

16 Section 805. The Public Utilities Act is amended by
17 changing Section 16-108.18 as follows:
18 (220 ILCS 5/16-108.18)
19 Sec. 16-108.18. Performance-based ratemaking.
20 (a) The General Assembly finds:
21 (1) That improving the alignment of utility customer
22 and company interests is critical to ensuring equity,
23 rapid growth of distributed energy resources, electric
SB2394 Enrolled - 1947 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 vehicles, and other new technologies that substantially
2 change the makeup of the grid and protect Illinois
3 residents and businesses from potential economic and
4 environmental harm from the State's energy systems.
5 (2) There is urgency around addressing increasing
6 threats from climate change and assisting communities that
7 have borne disproportionate impacts from climate change,
8 including air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and
9 energy burdens. Addressing this problem requires changes
10 to the business model under which utilities in Illinois
11 have traditionally functioned.
12 (3) Providing targeted incentives to support change
13 through a new performance-based structure to enhance
14 ratemaking is intended to enable alignment of utility,
15 customer, community, and environmental goals.
16 (4) Though Illinois has taken some measures to move
17 utilities to performance-based ratemaking through the
18 establishment of performance incentives and a
19 performance-based formula rate under the Energy
20 Infrastructure Modernization Act, these measures have not
21 been sufficiently transformative in urgently moving
22 electric utilities toward the State's ambitious energy
23 policy goals: protecting a healthy environment and
24 climate, improving public health, and creating quality
25 jobs and economic opportunities, including wealth
26 building, especially in economically disadvantaged
SB2394 Enrolled - 1948 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 communities and communities of color.
2 (5) These measures were not developed through a
3 process to understand first what performance measures and
4 penalties would help drive the sought-after behavior by
5 the utilities.
6 (6) While the General Assembly has not made a finding
7 that the spending related to the Energy Infrastructure and
8 Modernization Act and its performance metrics was not
9 reasonable, it is important to address concerns that these
10 measures may have resulted in excess utility spending and
11 guaranteed profits without meaningful improvements in
12 customer experience, rate affordability, or equity.
13 (7) Discussions of performance incentive mechanisms
14 must always take into account the affordability of
15 customer rates and bills for all customers, including
16 low-income customers.
17 (8) The General Assembly therefore directs the
18 Illinois Commerce Commission to complete a transition that
19 includes a comprehensive performance-based regulation
20 framework for electric utilities serving more than 500,000
21 customers. The breadth of this framework should revise
22 existing utility regulations to position Illinois electric
23 utilities to effectively and efficiently achieve current
24 and anticipated future energy needs of this State, while
25 ensuring affordability for consumers.

16 customers;
17 (6) maintain and grow a diverse workforce, diverse
18 supplier procurement base and, for relevant programs,
19 diverse approved-vendor pools, including increased
20 opportunities for minority-owned, female-owned,
21 veteran-owned, and disability-owned business enterprises;
22 (7) improve customer service performance and
23 engagement;
24 (8) address the particular burdens faced by consumers
25 in environmental justice and equity investment eligible
26 communities, including shareholder, consumer, and publicly
SB2394 Enrolled - 1952 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 funded bill payment assistance and credit and collection
2 policies, and ensure equitable disconnections, late fees,
3 or arrearages as a result of utility credit and collection
4 practices, which may include consideration of impact by
5 zip code; and
6 (9) implement or otherwise enhance current supplier
7 diversity programs to increase diverse contractor
8 participation in professional services, subcontracting,
9 and prime contracting opportunities with programs that
10 address barriers to access. Supplier diversity programs
11 shall address specific barriers related to RFP and
12 contract access, access to capital, information technology
13 and cyber security access and costs, administrative
14 burdens, and quality control with specific metrics,
15 outcomes, and demographic data reported.
16 (d) Multi-Year Rate Plan.
17 (1) If an electric utility had a performance-based
18 formula rate in effect under Section 16-108.5 as of
19 December 31, 2020, then the utility may file a petition
20 proposing tariffs implementing a 4-year Multi-Year Rate
21 Plan as provided in this Section no later than, January
22 20, 2023, for delivery service rates to be effective for
23 the billing periods January 1, 2024 through December 31,
24 2027. The Commission shall issue an order approving or
25 approving as modified the utility's plan no later than
26 December 20, 2023. The term "Multi-Year Rate Plan" refers
SB2394 Enrolled - 1953 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 to a plan establishing the base rates the utility shall
2 charge for each delivery year of the 4-year period to be
3 covered by the plan, which shall be subject to
4 modification only as expressly allowed in this Section.
5 (2) A utility proposing a Multi-Year Rate Plan shall
6 provide a 4-year investment plan and a description of the
7 utility's major planned investments, including, at a
8 minimum, all investments of $2,000,000 or greater over the
9 plan period for an electric utility that serves more than
10 3,000,000 retail customers in the State or $500,000 for an
11 electric utility that serves less than 3,000,000 retail
12 customers in the State but more than 500,000 retail
13 customers in the State. The 4-year investment plan must be
14 consistent with the Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plan
15 described in Section 16-105.17 of this Act. The investment
16 plan shall provide sufficiently detailed information, as
17 required by the Commission, including, at a minimum, a
18 description of each investment, the location of the
19 investment, and an explanation of the need for and benefit
20 of such an investment to the extent known.
21 (3) The Multi-Year Rate Plan shall be implemented
22 through a tariff filed with the Commission consistent with
23 the provisions of this paragraph (3) that shall apply to
24 all delivery service customers. The Commission shall
25 initiate and conduct an investigation of the tariff in a
26 manner consistent with the provisions of this paragraph
SB2394 Enrolled - 1954 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (3) and the provisions of Article IX of this Act, to the
2 extent they do not conflict with this paragraph (3). The
3 Multi-Year Rate Plan approved by the Commission shall do
4 the following:
5 (A) Provide for the recovery of the utility's
6 forecasted rate base, based on the 4-year investment
7 plan and the utility's Integrated Grid Plan. The
8 forecasted rate base must include the utility's
9 planned capital investments, with rates based on
10 average annual plant investment, and
11 investment-related costs, including income tax
12 impacts, depreciation, and ratemaking adjustments and
13 costs that are prudently incurred and reasonable in
14 amount consistent with Commission practice and law.
15 The process used to develop the forecasts must be
16 iterative, rigorous, and lead to forecasts that
17 reasonably represent the utility's investments during
18 the forecasted period and ensure that the investments
19 are projected to be used and useful during the annual
20 investment period and least cost, consistent with the
21 provisions of Articles VIII and IX of this Act.
22 (B) The cost of equity shall be approved by the
23 Commission consistent with Commission practice and
24 law.
25 (C) The revenue requirement shall reflect the
26 utility's actual capital structure for the applicable
SB2394 Enrolled - 1955 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 calendar year. A year-end capital structure that
2 includes a common equity ratio of up to and including
3 50% of the total capital structure shall be deemed
4 prudent and reasonable. A higher common equity ratio
5 must be specifically approved by the Commission.
6 (D) (Blank).
7 (E) Provide for recovery of prudent and reasonable
8 projected operating expenses, giving effect to
9 ratemaking adjustments, consistent with Commission
10 practice and law under Article IX of this Act.
11 Operating expenses for years after the first year of
12 the Multi-Year Rate Plan may be estimated by the use of
13 known and measurable changes, expense reductions
14 associated with planned capital investments as
15 appropriate, and reasonable and appropriate
16 escalators, indices, or other metrics.
17 (F) Amortize the amount of unprotected
18 property-related excess accumulated deferred income
19 taxes in rates as of January 1, 2023 over a period
20 ending December 31, 2027, unless otherwise required to
21 amortize the excess deferred income tax pursuant to
22 Section 16-108.21 of this Act.
23 (G) Allow recovery of incentive compensation
24 expense that is based on the achievement of
25 operational metrics, including metrics related to
26 budget controls, outage duration and frequency,
SB2394 Enrolled - 1956 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 safety, customer service, efficiency and productivity,
2 environmental compliance and attainment of
3 affordability and environmental goals, and other goals
4 and metrics approved by the Commission. Incentive
5 compensation expense that is based on net income or an
6 affiliate's earnings per share shall not be
7 recoverable.
8 (H) To the maximum extent practicable, align the
9 4-year investment plan and annual capital budgets with
10 the electric utility's Multi-Year Integrated Grid
11 Plan.
12 (4) The Commission shall establish annual rates for
13 each year of the Multi-Year Rate Plan that accurately
14 reflect and are based only upon the utility's reasonable
15 and prudent costs of service over the term of the plan,
16 including the effect of all ratemaking adjustments
17 consistent with Commission practice and law as determined
18 by the Commission, provided that the costs are not being
19 recovered elsewhere in rates. Tariff riders authorized by
20 the Commission may continue outside of a plan authorized
21 under this Section to the extent such costs are not
22 recovered elsewhere in rates. For the first Multi-Year
23 Rate Plan multi-year rate plan, the burden of proof shall
24 be on the electric utility to establish the prudence of
25 investments and expenditures and to establish that such
26 investments consistent with and reasonably necessary to
SB2394 Enrolled - 1957 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 meet the requirements of the utility's first approved
2 Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plan described in Section
3 16-105.17 of this Act. For subsequent Multi-Year Rate
4 Plans, the burden of proof shall be on the electric
5 utility to establish the prudence of investments and
6 expenditures and to establish that such investments are
7 consistent with and reasonably necessary to meet the
8 requirements of the utility's most recently approved
9 Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plan described in Section
10 16-105.17 of this Act. The sole fact that a cost differs
11 from that incurred in a prior period or that an investment
12 is different from that described in the Multi-Year
13 Integrated Grid Plan shall not imply the imprudence or
14 unreasonableness of that cost or investment. The sole fact
15 that an investment is the same or similar to that
16 described in the Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plan shall not
17 imply prudence and reasonableness of that investment.
18 (5) To facilitate public transparency, all materials,
19 data, testimony, and schedules shall be provided to the
20 Commission in an editable, machine-readable electronic
21 format including .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, and similar
22 file formats, but not including .pdf or .exif. Should
23 utilities designate any materials confidential, they shall
24 have an affirmative duty to explain why the particular
25 information is marked confidential. In determining
26 prudence and reasonableness of rates, the Commission shall
SB2394 Enrolled - 1958 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 make its determination based upon the record, including
2 each public comment filed or provided orally at open
3 meetings consistent with the Commission's rules and
4 practices.
5 (6) The Commission may, by order, establish terms,
6 conditions, and procedures for submitting and approving a
7 Multi-Year Rate Plan necessary to implement this Section
8 and ensure that rates remain just and reasonable during
9 the course of the plan, including terms and procedures for
10 rate adjustment.
11 (7) An electric utility that files a tariff pursuant
12 to paragraph (3) of this subsection (e) must submit a
13 one-time $300,000 filing fee at the time the Chief Clerk
14 of the Commission accepts the filing, which shall be a
15 recoverable expense.
16 (8) An electric utility operating under a Multi-Year
17 Rate Plan shall file a new Multi-Year Rate Plan at least
18 300 days prior to the end of the initial Multi-Year Rate
19 Plan unless it elects to file a general rate case pursuant
20 to paragraph (9), and every 4 years thereafter, with a
21 rate-effective date of the proposed tariffs such that,
22 after the Commission suspension period, the rates would
23 take effect immediately at the close of the final year of
24 the initial Multi-Year Rate Plan. In subsequent Multi-Year
25 Rate Plans, as in the initial plans, utilities and
26 stakeholders may propose additional metrics that achieve
SB2394 Enrolled - 1959 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the outcomes described in paragraph (2) of subsection (f)
2 of this Section.
3 (9) Election of Rate Case.
4 (A) On or before the date prescribed by
5 subparagraph (B) of paragraph (9) of this Section,
6 electric utilities that serve more than 500,000 retail
7 customers in the State shall file either a general
8 rate case under Section 9-201 of this Act, or a
9 Multi-Year Rate Plan, as set forth in paragraph (1) of
10 this subsection (d).
11 (B) Electric utilities described in subparagraph
12 (A) of paragraph (9) of this Section shall file their
13 initial general rate case or Multi-Year Rate Plan, as
14 applicable, with the Commission no later than January
15 20, 2023.
16 (C) Notwithstanding which rate filing option an
17 electric utility elects to file on the date prescribed
18 by subparagraph (B) of paragraph (9) of this Section,
19 the electric utility shall be subject to the
20 Multi-year Integrated Plan filing requirements.
21 (D) Following its initial rate filing pursuant to
22 paragraph (2), an electric utility subject to the
23 requirements of this Section shall thereafter be
24 permitted to elect a different rate filing option
25 consistent with any filing intervals established for a
26 general rate case or Multi-Year Rate Plan, as follows:
SB2394 Enrolled - 1960 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (i) An electric utility that initially elected
2 to file a Multi-Year Rate Plan and thereafter
3 elects to transition to a general rate case may do
4 so upon completion of the 4-year Multi-Year Rate
5 Plan by filing a general rate case at the same time
6 that the utility would have filed its subsequent
7 Multi-Year Rate Plan, as specified in paragraph
8 (8) of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding this
9 election, the annual adjustment of the final year
10 of the Multi-Year Rate Plan shall proceed as
11 specified in paragraph (6) of subsection (f).
12 (ii) An electric utility that initially
13 elected to a file general rate case and thereafter
14 elects to transition to a Multi-Year Rate Plan may
15 do so only at the 4-year filing intervals
16 identified by paragraph (8) of this subsection
17 (d).
18 (10) The Commission shall approve tariffs establishing
19 rate design for all delivery service customers unless the
20 electric utility makes the election specified in Section
21 16-105.5, in which case the rate design shall be subject
22 to the provisions of that Section.
23 (11) The Commission shall establish requirements for
24 annual performance evaluation reports to be submitted
25 annually for performance metrics. Such reports shall
26 include, but not be limited to, a description of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1961 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 utility's performance under each metric and an
2 identification of any extraordinary events that adversely
3 affected the utility's performance.
4 (12) For the first Multi-Year Rate Plan, the
5 Commission shall consolidate its investigation with the
6 proceeding under Section 16-105.17 to establish the
7 Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plan no later than 45 days
8 after plan filing.
9 (13) Where a rate change under a Multi-Year Rate Plan
10 will result in a rate increase, an electric utility may
11 propose a rate phase-in plan that the Commission shall
12 approve with or without modification or deny in its final
13 order approving the new delivery services rates. A
14 proposed rate phase-in plan under this paragraph (13) must
15 allow the new delivery services rates to be implemented in
16 no more than 2 steps, as follows: in the first step, at
17 least 50% of the approved rate increase must be reflected
18 in rates, and, in the second step, 100% of the rate
19 increase must be reflected in rates. The second step's
20 rates must take effect no later than 12 months after the
21 first step's rates were placed into effect. The portion of
22 the approved rate increase not implemented in the first
23 step shall be recorded on the electric utility's books as
24 a regulatory asset, and shall accrue carrying costs to
25 ensure that the utility does not recover more or less than
26 it otherwise would because of the deferral. This portion
SB2394 Enrolled - 1962 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall be recovered, with such carrying costs at the
2 weighted average cost of capital, through a surcharge
3 applied to retail customer bills that (i) begins no later
4 than 12 months after the date on which the second step's
5 rates went into effect and (ii) is applied over a period
6 not to exceed 24 months. Nothing in this paragraph is
7 intended to limit the Commission's authority to mitigate
8 the impact of rates caused by rate plans, or any other
9 instance on a revenue-neutral basis; nor shall it mitigate
10 a utility's ability to make proposals to mitigate the
11 impact of rates. When a deferral, or similar method, is
12 used to mitigate the impact of rates, the utility should
13 be allowed to recover carrying costs.
14 (14) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph
15 Section (13), the Commission may, on its own initiative,
16 take revenue-neutral measures to relieve the impact of
17 rate increases on customers. Such initiatives may be taken
18 by the Commission in the first Multi-Year Rate Plan,
19 subsequent multi-year plans, or in other instances
20 described in this Act.
21 (15) Whenever during the pendency of a Multi-Year
22 Multi-year Rate Plan, an electric utility subject to this
23 Section becomes aware that, due to circumstances beyond
24 its control, prudent operating practices will require the
25 utility to make adjustments to the Multi-Year Rate Plan,
26 the electric utility may file a petition with the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1963 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Commission requesting modification of the approved annual
2 revenue requirements included in the Multi-Year Rate Plan.
3 The electric utility must support its request with
4 evidence demonstrating why a modification is necessary,
5 due to circumstances beyond the utility's control, to
6 follow prudent operating practices and must set forth the
7 changes to each annual revenue requirement to be approved,
8 and the basis for any changes in anticipated operating
9 expenses or capital investment levels. The utility shall
10 affirmatively address the impact of the changes on the
11 Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plan and Multi-Year Rate Plan
12 originally submitted and approved by the Commission. Any
13 interested party may file an objection to the changes
14 proposed, or offer alternatives to the utility's proposal,
15 as supported by testimony and evidence. After notice and
16 hearing, the Commission shall issue a final order
17 regarding the electric utility's request no later than 180
18 days after the filing of the petition.
19 (e) Performance incentive mechanisms.
20 (1) The electric industry is undergoing rapid
21 transformation, including fundamental changes in how
22 electricity is generated, procured, and delivered and how
23 customers are choosing to participate in the supply and
24 delivery of electricity to and from the electric grid.
25 Building upon the State's goals to increase the
26 procurement of electricity from renewable energy
SB2394 Enrolled - 1964 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 resources, including distributed generation and storage
2 devices, the General Assembly finds that electric
3 utilities should make cost-effective investments that
4 support moving forward on Illinois' clean energy policies.
5 It is therefore in the State's interest for the Commission
6 to establish performance incentive mechanisms in order to
7 better tie utility revenues to performance and customer
8 benefits, accelerate progress on Illinois energy and other
9 goals, ensure equity and affordability of rates for all
10 customers, including low-income customers, and hold
11 utilities publicly accountable.
12 (2) The Commission shall approve, based on the
13 substantial evidence proffered in the proceeding initiated
14 pursuant to this subsection performance metrics that, to
15 the extent practicable and achievable by the electric
16 utility, encourage cost-effective, equitable utility
17 achievement of the outcomes described in this subsection
18 (e) while ensuring no degradation in the significant
19 performance improvement achieved through previously
20 established performance metrics. For each electric
21 utility, the Commission shall approve metrics designed to
22 achieve incremental improvements over baseline performance
23 values and targets, over a performance period of up to 10
24 years, and no less than 4 years.
25 (A) The Commission shall approve no more than 8
26 metrics, with at least one metric from each of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 1965 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 categories below, for each electric utility, from
2 items subparagraphs (i) through (vi) of this
3 subparagraph subsection (A). Upon a utility request,
4 the Commission may approve the use of a specific,
5 measurable, and achievable tracking metric described
6 in paragraph (3) of this subsection (e) as a
7 performance metric pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
8 subsection (e).
9 (i) Metrics designed to ensure the utility
10 maintains and improves the high standards of both
11 overall and locational reliability and resiliency,
12 and makes improvements in power quality, including
13 and particularly in environmental justice and
14 equity investment eligible communities.
15 (ii) Peak load reductions attributable to
16 demand response programs.
17 (iii) Supplier diversity expansion, including
18 diverse contractor participation in professional
19 services, subcontracting, and prime contracting
20 opportunities, development of programs that
21 address the barriers to access, aligning
22 demographics of contractors to the demographics in
23 the utility's service territory, establish
24 long-term mentoring relationships that develop and
25 remove barriers to access for diverse and
26 underserved contractors. The utilities shall
SB2394 Enrolled - 1966 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 provide solutions, resources, and tools to address
2 complex barriers of entry related to costly and
3 time-intensive cyber security requirements,
4 increasingly complex information technology
5 requirements, insurance barriers, service provider
6 sign-up process barriers, administrative process
7 barriers, and other barriers that inhibit access
8 to RFPs and contracts. For programs with contracts
9 over $1,000,000, winning bidders must demonstrate
10 a subcontractor development or mentoring
11 relationship with at least one of their diverse
12 subcontracting partners for a core component of
13 the scope of the project. The mentoring time and
14 cost shall be taken into account in the creation
15 of RFP and shall include a structured and measured
16 plan by the prime contractor to increase the
17 capabilities of the subcontractor in their
18 proposed scope. The metric shall include reporting
19 on all supplier diversity programs by goals,
20 program results, demographics and geography, with
21 separate reporting by category of minority-owned,
22 female-owned, veteran-owned, and disability-owned
23 business enterprise metrics. The report shall
24 include resources and expenses committed to the
25 programs and conversion rates of new diverse
26 utility contractors.
SB2394 Enrolled - 1967 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (iv) Achieve affordable customer delivery
2 service costs, with particular emphasis on keeping
3 the bills of lower-income households, households
4 in equity investment eligible communities, and
5 household in environmental justice communities
6 within a manageable portion of their income and
7 adopting credit and collection policies that
8 reduce disconnections for these households
9 specifically and for customers overall to ensure
10 equitable disconnections, late fees, or arrearages
11 as a result of utility credit and collection
12 practices, which may include consideration of
13 impact by zip code.
14 (v) Metrics designed around the utility's
15 timeliness to customer requests for
16 interconnection in key milestone areas, such as:
17 initial response, supplemental review, and system
18 feasibility study; improved average service
19 reliability index for those customers that have
20 interconnected a distributed renewable energy
21 generation device to the utility's distribution
22 system and are lawfully taking service under an
23 applicable tariff; offering a variety of
24 affordable rate options, including demand
25 response, time of use rates for delivery and
26 supply, real-time pricing rates for supply;
SB2394 Enrolled - 1968 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 comprehensive and predictable net metering, and
2 maximizing the benefits of grid modernization and
3 clean energy for ratepayers; and improving
4 customer access to utility system information
5 according to consumer demand and interest.
6 (vi) Metrics designed to measure the utility's
7 customer service performance, which may include
8 the average length of time to answer a customer's
9 call by a customer service representative, the
10 abandoned call rate and the relative ranking of
11 the electric utility, by a reputable third-party
12 organization, in customer service satisfaction
13 when compared to other similar electric utilities
14 in the Midwest region.
15 (B) Performance metrics shall include a
16 description of the metric, a calculation method, a
17 data collection method, annual performance targets,
18 and any incentives or penalties for the utility's
19 achievement of, or failure to achieve, their
20 performance targets, provided that the total amount of
21 potential incentives and penalties shall be
22 symmetrical. Incentives shall be rewards or penalties
23 or both, reflected as basis points added to, or
24 subtracted from, the utility's cost of equity. The
25 metrics and incentives shall apply for the entire time
26 period covered by a Multi-Year Rate Plan. The total
SB2394 Enrolled - 1969 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 for all metrics shall be equal to 40 basis points,
2 however, the Commission may adjust the basis points
3 upward or downward by up to 20 basis points for any
4 given Multi-Year Rate Plan, as appropriate, but in no
5 event may the total exceed 60 basis points or fall
6 below 20 basis points.
7 (C) Metrics related to reliability shall be
8 implemented to ensure equitable benefits to
9 environmental justice and equity investment eligible
10 communities, as defined in this Act.
11 (D) The Commission shall approve performance
12 metrics that are reasonably within control of the
13 utility to achieve. The Commission also shall not
14 approve a metric that is solely expected to have the
15 effect of reducing the workforce. Performance metrics
16 should measure outcomes and actual, rather than
17 projected, results where possible. Nothing in this
18 subparagraph paragraph is intended to require that
19 different electric utilities must be subject to the
20 same metrics, goals, or incentives.
21 (E) Increases or enhancements to an existing
22 performance goal or target shall be considered in
23 light of other metrics, cost-effectiveness, and other
24 factors the Commission deems appropriate. Performance
25 metrics shall include one year of tracking data
26 collected in a consistent manner, verifiable by an
SB2394 Enrolled - 1970 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 independent evaluator in order to establish a baseline
2 and measure outcomes and actual results against
3 projections where possible.
4 (F) For the purpose of determining reasonable
5 performance metrics and related incentives, the
6 Commission shall develop a methodology to calculate
7 net benefits that includes customer and societal costs
8 and benefits and quantifies the effect on delivery
9 rates. In determining the appropriate level of a
10 performance incentive, the Commission shall consider:
11 the extent to which the amount is likely to encourage
12 the utility to achieve the performance target in the
13 least cost manner; the value of benefits to customers,
14 the grid, public health and safety, and the
15 environment from achievement of the performance
16 target, including in particular benefits to equity
17 investment eligible community; the affordability of
18 customer's electric bills, including low-income
19 customers, the utility's revenue requirement, the
20 promotion of renewable and distributed energy, and
21 other such factors that the Commission deems
22 appropriate. The consideration of these factors shall
23 result in an incentive level that ensures benefits
24 exceed costs for customers.
25 (G) Achievement of performance metrics are based
26 on the assumptions that the utility will adopt or
SB2394 Enrolled - 1971 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 implement the technology and equipment, and make the
2 investments to the extent reasonably necessary to
3 achieve the goal. If the electric utility is unable to
4 meet the performance metrics as a result of
5 extraordinary circumstances outside of its control,
6 including, but not limited to, government-declared
7 emergencies, then the utility shall be permitted to
8 file a petition with the Commission requesting that
9 the utility be excused from compliance with the
10 applicable performance goal or goals and the
11 associated financial incentives and penalties. The
12 burden of proof shall be on the utility, consistent
13 with Article IX, and the utility's petition shall be
14 supported by substantial evidence. The Commission
15 shall, after notice and hearing, enter its order
16 approving or denying, in whole or in part, the
17 utility's petition based on the extent to which the
18 utility demonstrated that its achievement of the
19 affected metrics and performance goals was hindered by
20 extraordinary circumstances outside of the utility's
21 control.
22 (3) The Commission shall approve reasonable and
23 appropriate tracking metrics to collect and monitor data
24 for the purpose of measuring and reporting utility
25 performance and for establishing future performance
26 metrics. These additional tracking metrics shall include
SB2394 Enrolled - 1972 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 at least one metric from each of the following categories
2 of performance:
3 (A) Minimize emissions of greenhouse gases and
4 other air pollutants that harm human health,
5 particularly in environmental justice and equity
6 investment eligible communities, through minimizing
7 total emissions by accelerating electrification of
8 transportation, buildings, and industries where such
9 electrification results in net reductions, across all
10 fuels and over the life of electrification measures,
11 of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, taking into
12 consideration the fuel mix used to produce electricity
13 at the relevant hour and the effect of accelerating
14 electrification on electricity delivery services
15 rates, supply prices, and peak demand, provided the
16 revenues the utility receives from accelerating
17 electrification of transportation, buildings, and
18 industries exceed the costs.
19 (B) Enhance the grid's flexibility to adapt to
20 increased deployment of nondispatchable resources,
21 improve the ability and performance of the grid on
22 load balancing, and offer a variety of rate plans to
23 match consumer consumption patterns and lower consumer
24 bills for electricity delivery and supply.
25 (C) Ensure rates reflect cost savings attributable
26 to grid modernization and utilize distributed energy
SB2394 Enrolled - 1973 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 resources that allow the utility to defer or forgo
2 traditional grid investments that would otherwise be
3 required to provide safe and reliable service.
4 (D) Metrics designed to create and sustain
5 full-time-equivalent jobs and opportunities for all
6 segments of the population and workforce, including
7 minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses,
8 veteran-owned businesses, and businesses owned by a
9 person or persons with a disability, and that do not,
10 consistent with State and federal law, discriminate
11 based on race or socioeconomic status as a result of
12 Public Act 102-662 this amendatory Act of the 102nd
13 General Assembly.
14 (E) Maximize and prioritize the allocation of grid
15 planning benefits to environmental justice and
16 economically disadvantaged customers and communities,
17 such that all metrics provide equitable benefits
18 across the utility's service territory and maintain
19 and improve utility customers' access to uninterrupted
20 utility services.
21 (4) The Commission may establish new tracking and
22 performance metrics in future Multi-Year Rate Plans to
23 further measure achievement of the outcomes set forth in
24 paragraph (2) of subsection (f) of this Section and the
25 other goals and requirements of this Section.
26 (5) The Commission shall also evaluate metrics that
SB2394 Enrolled - 1974 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 were established in prior Multi-Year Rate Plans to
2 determine if there has been an unanticipated material
3 change in circumstances such that adjustments are required
4 to improve the likelihood of the outcomes described in
5 paragraph (2) of subsection (f). For metrics that were
6 established in prior Multi-Year Rate Plan proceedings and
7 that the Commission elects to continue, the design of
8 these metrics, including the goals of tracking metrics and
9 the targets and incentive levels and structures of
10 performance metrics, may be adjusted pursuant to the
11 requirements in this Section. The Commission may also
12 change, adjust, or phase out tracking and performance
13 metrics that were established in prior Multi-Year Rate
14 Plan proceedings if these metrics no longer meet the
15 requirements of this Section or if they are rendered
16 obsolete by the changing needs and technology of an
17 evolving grid. Additionally, performance metrics that no
18 longer require an incentive to create improved utility
19 performance may become tracking metrics in a Multi-Year
20 Rate Plan proceeding.
21 (6) The Commission shall initiate a workshop process
22 no later than August 1, 2021, or 15 days after September
23 15, 2021 (the effective date of Public Act 102-662) this
24 amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly, whichever is
25 later, for the purpose of facilitating the development of
26 metrics for each utility. The workshop shall be
SB2394 Enrolled - 1975 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 coordinated by the staff of the Commission, or a
2 facilitator retained by staff, and shall be organized and
3 facilitated in a manner that encourages representation
4 from diverse stakeholders and ensures equitable
5 opportunities for participation, without requiring formal
6 intervention or representation by an attorney. Working
7 with staff of the Commission the facilitator may conduct a
8 combination of workshops specific to a utility or
9 applicable to multiple utilities where content and
10 stakeholders are substantially similar. The workshop
11 process shall conclude no later than October 31, 2021.
12 Following the workshop, the staff of the Commission, or
13 the facilitator retained by the Staff, shall prepare and
14 submit a report to the Commission that identifies the
15 participants in the process, the metrics proposed during
16 the process, any material issues that remained unresolved
17 at the conclusions of such process, and any
18 recommendations for workshop process improvements. Any
19 workshop participant may file comments and reply comments
20 in response to the Staff report.
21 (A) No later than January, 20, 2022, each electric
22 utility that intends to file a petition pursuant to
23 subsection (b) of this Section shall file a petition
24 with the Commission seeking approval of its
25 performance metrics, which shall include for each
26 metric, at a minimum, (i) a detailed description, (ii)
SB2394 Enrolled - 1976 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the calculation of the baseline, (iii) the performance
2 period and overall performance goal, provided that the
3 performance period shall not commence prior to January
4 1, 2024, (iv) each annual performance goal, (v) the
5 performance adjustment, which shall be a symmetrical
6 basis point increase or decrease to the utility's cost
7 of equity based on the extent to which the utility
8 achieved the annual performance goal, and (vi) the new
9 or modified tariff mechanism that will apply the
10 performance adjustments. The Commission shall issue
11 its order approving, or approving with modification,
12 the utility's proposed performance metrics no later
13 than September 30, 2022.
14 (B) No later than August 1, 2025, the Commission
15 shall initiate a workshop process that conforms to the
16 workshop purpose and requirements of this paragraph
17 (6) of this Section to the extent they do not conflict.
18 The workshop process shall conclude no later than
19 October 31, 2025, and the staff of the Commission, or
20 the facilitator retained by the Staff, shall prepare
21 and submit a report consistent with the requirements
22 described in this paragraph (6) of this Section. No
23 later than January 20, 2026, each electric utility
24 subject to the requirements of this Section shall file
25 a petition the reflects, and is consistent with, the
26 components required in this paragraph (6) of this
SB2394 Enrolled - 1977 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Section, and the Commission shall issue its order
2 approving, or approving with modification, the
3 utility's proposed performance metrics no later than
4 September 30, 2026.
5 (f) On May 1 of each year, following the approval of the
6 first Multi-Year Rate Plan and its initial year, the
7 Commission shall open an annual performance evaluation
8 proceeding to evaluate the utilities' performance on their
9 metric targets during the year just completed, as well as the
10 appropriate Annual Adjustment as defined in paragraph (6). The
11 Commission shall determine the performance and annual
12 adjustments to be applied through a surcharge in the following
13 calendar year.
14 (1) On February 15 of each year, prior to the annual
15 performance evaluation proceeding, each utility shall file
16 a performance evaluation report with the Commission that
17 includes a description of and all data supporting how the
18 utility performed under each performance metric and an
19 identification of any extraordinary events that adversely
20 impacted the utility's performance.
21 (2) The metrics approved under this Section are based
22 on the assumptions that the utility may fully implement
23 the technology and equipment, and make the investments,
24 required to achieve the metrics and performance goals. If
25 the utility is unable to meet the metrics and performance
26 goals because it was hindered by unanticipated technology
SB2394 Enrolled - 1978 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 or equipment implementation delays, government-declared
2 emergencies, or other investment impediments, then the
3 utility shall be permitted to file a petition with the
4 Commission on or before the date that its report is due
5 pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection (f)
6 requesting that the utility be excused from compliance
7 with the applicable performance goal or goals. The burden
8 of proof shall be on the utility, consistent with Article
9 IX, and the utility's petition shall be supported by
10 substantial evidence. No later than 90 days after the
11 utility files its petition, the Commission shall, after
12 notice and hearing, enter its order approving or denying,
13 in whole or in part, the utility's petition based on the
14 extent to which the utility demonstrated that its
15 achievement of the affected metrics and performance goals
16 was hindered by unanticipated technology or equipment
17 implementation delays, or other investment impediments,
18 that were reasonably outside of the utility's control.
19 (3) The electric utility shall provide for an annual
20 independent evaluation of its performance on metrics. The
21 independent evaluator shall review the utility's
22 assumptions, baselines, targets, calculation
23 methodologies, and other relevant information, especially
24 ensuring that the utility's data for establishing
25 baselines matches actual performance, and shall provide a
26 report to the Commission in each annual performance
SB2394 Enrolled - 1979 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 evaluation describing the results. The independent
2 evaluator shall present this report as evidence as a
3 nonparty participant and shall not be represented by the
4 utility's legal counsel. The independent evaluator shall
5 be hired through a competitive bidding process with
6 approval of the contract by the Commission.
7 The Commission shall consider the report of the
8 independent evaluator in determining the utility's
9 achievement of performance targets. Discrepancies between
10 the utility's assumptions, baselines, targets, or
11 calculations and those of the independent evaluator shall
12 be closely scrutinized by the Commission. If the
13 Commission finds that the utility's reported data for any
14 metric or metrics significantly and incorrectly deviates
15 from the data reported by the independent evaluator, then
16 the Commission shall order the utility to revise its data
17 collection and calculation process within 60 days, with
18 specifications where appropriate.
19 (4) The Commission shall, after notice and hearing in
20 the annual performance evaluation proceeding, enter an
21 order approving the utility's performance adjustment based
22 on its achievement of or failure to achieve its
23 performance targets no later than December 20 each year.
24 The Commission-approved penalties or incentives shall be
25 applied beginning with the next calendar year.
26 (5) In order to promote the transparency of utility
SB2394 Enrolled - 1980 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 investments during the effective period of a multi-year
2 rate plan, inform the Commission's investigation and
3 adjustment of rates in the annual adjustment process, and
4 to facilitate the participation of stakeholders in the
5 annual adjustment process, an electric utility with an
6 effective Multi-Year Rate Plan shall, within 90 days of
7 the close of each quarter during the Multi-Year Rate Plan
8 period, submit to the Commission a report that summarizes
9 the additions to utility plant that were placed into
10 service during the prior quarter, which for purposes of
11 the report shall be the most recently closed fiscal
12 quarter. The report shall also summarize the utility plant
13 the electric utility projects it will place into service
14 through the end of the calendar year in which the report is
15 filed. The projections, estimates, plans, and
16 forward-looking information that are provided in the
17 reports pursuant to this paragraph (5) are for planning
18 purposes and are intended to be illustrative of the
19 investments that the utility proposes to make as of the
20 time of submittal. Nothing in this paragraph (5)
21 precludes, or is intended to limit, a utility's ability to
22 modify and update its projections, estimates, plans, and
23 forward-looking information previously submitted in order
24 to reflect stakeholder input or other new or updated
25 information and analysis, including, but not limited to,
26 changes in specific investment needs, customer electric
SB2394 Enrolled - 1981 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 use patterns, customer applications and preferences, and
2 commercially available equipment and technologies, however
3 the utility shall explain any changes or deviations
4 between the projected investments from the quarterly
5 reports and actual investments in the annual report. The
6 reports submitted pursuant to this subsection are intended
7 to be flexible planning tools, and are expected to evolve
8 as new information becomes available. Within 7 days of
9 receiving a quarterly report, the Commission shall timely
10 make such report available to the public by posting it on
11 the Commission's website. Each quarterly report shall
12 include the following detail:
13 (A) The total dollar value of the additions to
14 utility plant placed in service during the prior
15 quarter;
16 (B) A list of the major investment categories the
17 electric utility used to manage its routine standing
18 operational activities during the prior quarter
19 including the total dollar amount for the work
20 reflected in each investment category in which utility
21 plant in service is equal to or greater than
22 $2,000,000 for an electric utility that serves more
23 than 3,000,000 customers in the State or $500,000 for
24 an electric utility that serves less than 3,000,000
25 customers but more than 500,000 customers in the State
26 as of the last day of the quarterly reporting period,
SB2394 Enrolled - 1982 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 as well as a summary description of each investment
2 category;
3 (C) A list of the projects which the electric
4 utility has identified by a unique investment tracking
5 number for utility plant placed in service during the
6 prior quarter for utility plant placed in service with

8 quarterly reporting period that is equal to or greater
9 than $2,000,000 for an electric utility that serves
10 more than 3,000,000 customers in the State or $500,000
11 for an electric utility that serves less than
12 3,000,000 retail customers but more than $500,000
13 retail customers in the State, as well as a summary of
14 each project;
15 (D) The estimated total dollar value of the
16 additions to utility plant projected to be placed in
17 service through the end of the calendar year in which
18 the report is filed;
19 (E) A list of the major investment categories the
20 electric utility used to manage its routine standing
21 operational activities with utility plant projected to
22 be placed in service through the end of the calendar
23 year in which the report is filed, including the total
24 dollar amount for the work reflected in each
25 investment category in which utility plant in service
26 is projected to be equal to or greater than $2,000,000
SB2394 Enrolled - 1983 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 for an electric utility that serves more than
2 3,000,000 customers in the State or $500,000 for an
3 electric utility that serves less than 3,000,000
4 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail

13 electric utility that serves more than 3,000,000
14 customers in the State or $500,000 for an electric
15 utility that serves less than 3,000,000 retails
16 customers but more than $500,000 retail customers in
17 the State, as well as a summary description of each
18 project.
19 (6) As part of the Annual Performance Adjustment, the
20 electric utility shall submit evidence sufficient to
21 support a determination of its actual revenue requirement
22 for the applicable calendar year, consistent with the
23 provisions of paragraphs (d) and (f) of this subsection.
24 The electric utility shall bear the burden of
25 demonstrating that its costs were prudent and reasonable,
26 subject to the provisions of paragraph (4) of this
SB2394 Enrolled - 1984 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 subsection (f). The Commission's review of the electric
2 utility's annual adjustment shall be based on the same
3 evidentiary standards, including, but not limited to,
4 those concerning the prudence and reasonableness of the
5 known and measurable costs forecasted to be incurred by
6 the utility, and the used and usefulness of the actual
7 plant investment pursuant to Section 9-211 of this Act,
8 that the Commission applies in a proceeding to review a
9 filing for changes in rates pursuant to Section 9-201 of
10 this Act. The Commission shall determine the prudence and
11 reasonableness of the actual costs incurred by the utility
12 during the applicable calendar year, as well as determine
13 the original cost of plant in service as of the end of the
14 applicable calendar year. The Commission shall then
15 determine the Annual Adjustment, which shall mean the
16 amount by which, the electric utility's actual revenue
17 requirement for the applicable year of the Multi-Year Rate
18 Plan either exceeded, or was exceeded by, the revenue
19 requirement approved by the Commission for such calendar
20 year, plus carrying costs calculated at the weighted
21 average cost of capital approved for the Multi-Year Rate
22 Plan.
23 The Commission's determination of the electric
24 utility's actual revenue requirement for the applicable
25 calendar year shall be based on:
26 (A) the Commission-approved used and useful,
SB2394 Enrolled - 1985 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 prudent and reasonable actual costs for the applicable
2 calendar year, which shall be determined pursuant to
3 the following criteria:
4 (i) the The overall level of actual costs
5 incurred during the calendar year, provided that
6 the Commission may not allow recovery of actual
7 costs that are more than 105% of the approved
8 revenue requirement calculated as provided in item
9 (ii) of this subparagraph (A), except to the
10 extent the Commission approves a modification of
11 the Multi-Year Rate Plan to permit such recovery;.
12 (ii) the The calculation of 105% of the
13 revenue requirement required by this subparagraph
14 (A) shall exclude the revenue requirement impacts
15 of the following volatile and fluctuating
16 variables that occurred during the year: (i)
17 storms and weather-related events for which the
18 utility provides sufficient evidence to
19 demonstrate that such expenses were not
20 foreseeable and not in control of the utility;
21 (ii) new business; (iii) changes in interest
22 rates; (iv) changes in taxes; (v) facility
23 relocations; (vi) changes in pension or
24 post-retirement benefits costs due to fluctuations
25 in interest rates, market returns or actuarial
26 assumptions; (vii) amortization expenses related
SB2394 Enrolled - 1986 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 to costs; and (viii) changes in the timing of when
2 an expenditure or investment is made such that it
3 is accelerated to occur during the applicable year
4 or deferred to occur in a subsequent year;.
5 (B) the year-end rate base;
6 (C) the cost of equity approved in the multi-year
7 rate plan; and
8 (D) the electric utility's actual year-end capital
9 structure, provided that the common equity ratio in
10 such capital structure may not exceed the common
11 equity ratio that was approved by the Commission in
12 the Multi-Year Rate Plan.
13 (2) The Commission's determinations of the prudence
14 and reasonableness of the costs incurred for the
15 applicable year, and of the original cost of plant in
16 service as of the end of the applicable calendar year,
17 shall be final upon entry of the Commission's order and
18 shall not be subject to collateral attack in any other
19 Commission proceeding, case, docket, order, rule, or
20 regulation; however, nothing in this Section shall
21 prohibit a party from petitioning the Commission to rehear
22 or appeal to the courts the order pursuant to the
23 provisions of this Act.
24 (g) During the period leading to approval of the first
25 Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plan, each electric utility will
26 necessarily continue to invest in its distribution grid. Those
SB2394 Enrolled - 1987 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 investments will be subject to a determination of prudence and
2 reasonableness consistent with Commission practice and law.
3 Any failure to conform to the Multi-Year Integrated Grid Plan
4 ultimately approved shall not imply imprudence or
5 unreasonableness.
6 (h) After calculating the Performance Adjustment and
7 Annual Adjustment, the Commission shall order the electric
8 utility to collect the amount in excess of the revenue
9 requirement from customers, or issue a refund to customers, as
10 applicable, to be applied through a surcharge beginning with
11 the next calendar year.
12 Electric utilities subject to the requirements of this
13 Section shall be permitted to file new or revised tariffs to
14 comply with the provisions of, and Commission orders entered
15 pursuant to, this Section.

18 includes facilitating or engaging in adoption services.
19 (b) Application for a license to operate a child care
20 facility must be made to the Department in the manner and on
21 forms prescribed by it. An application to operate a foster
22 family home shall include, at a minimum: a completed written
23 form; written authorization by the applicant and all adult
24 members of the applicant's household to conduct a criminal
25 background investigation; medical evidence in the form of a
SB2394 Enrolled - 2025 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 medical report, on forms prescribed by the Department, that
2 the applicant and all members of the household are free from
3 communicable diseases or physical and mental conditions that
4 affect their ability to provide care for the child or
5 children; the names and addresses of at least 3 persons not
6 related to the applicant who can attest to the applicant's
7 moral character; the name and address of at least one relative
8 who can attest to the applicant's capability to care for the

11 (b-5) Prior to submitting an application for a foster
12 family home license, a quality of care concerns applicant as
13 defined in Section 2.22a of this Act must submit a preliminary
14 application to the Department in the manner and on forms
15 prescribed by it. The Department shall explain to the quality
16 of care concerns applicant the grounds for requiring a
17 preliminary application. The preliminary application shall
18 include a list of (i) all children placed in the home by the
19 Department who were removed by the Department for reasons
20 other than returning to a parent and the circumstances under
21 which they were removed and (ii) all children placed by the
22 Department who were subsequently adopted by or placed in the
23 private guardianship of the quality of care concerns applicant
24 who are currently under 18 and who no longer reside in the home
25 and the reasons why they no longer reside in the home. The
26 preliminary application shall also include, if the quality of
SB2394 Enrolled - 2026 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 care concerns applicant chooses to submit, (1) a response to
2 the quality of care concerns, including any reason the
3 concerns are invalid, have been addressed or ameliorated, or
4 no longer apply and (2) affirmative documentation
5 demonstrating that the quality of care concerns applicant's
6 home does not pose a risk to children and that the family will
7 be able to meet the physical and emotional needs of children.
8 The Department shall verify the information in the preliminary
9 application and review (i) information regarding any prior
10 licensing complaints, (ii) information regarding any prior
11 child abuse or neglect investigations, (iii) information
12 regarding any involuntary foster home holds placed on the home
13 by the Department, and (iv) information regarding all child
14 exit interviews, as provided in Section 5.26 of the Children
15 and Family Services Act, regarding the home. Foster home
16 applicants with quality of care concerns are presumed
17 unsuitable for future licensure.
18 Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (b-5),
19 the Department may make an exception and issue a foster family
20 license to a quality of care concerns applicant if the
21 Department is satisfied that the foster family home does not
22 pose a risk to children and that the foster family will be able
23 to meet the physical and emotional needs of children. In
24 making this determination, the Department must obtain and
25 carefully review all relevant documents and shall obtain
26 consultation from its Clinical Division as appropriate and as
SB2394 Enrolled - 2027 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 has the authority to deny a preliminary application based on
3 the record of quality of care concerns of the foster family
4 home. In the alternative, the Department may (i) approve the
5 preliminary application, (ii) approve the preliminary
6 application subject to obtaining additional information or
7 assessments, or (iii) approve the preliminary application for
8 purposes of placing a particular child or children only in the
9 foster family home. If the Department approves a preliminary
10 application, the foster family shall submit an application for
11 licensure as described in subsection (b) of this Section. The
12 Department shall notify the quality of care concerns applicant
13 of its decision and the basis for its decision in writing.
14 (c) The Department shall notify the public when a child
15 care institution, maternity center, or group home licensed by
16 the Department undergoes a change in (i) the range of care or
17 services offered at the facility or (ii) the type of children
18 served. The Department shall notify the public of the change
19 in a newspaper of general circulation in the county or
20 municipality in which the applicant's facility is or is
21 proposed to be located.
22 (c-5) When a child care institution, maternity center, or
23 a group home licensed by the Department undergoes a change in
24 (i) the age of children served or (ii) the area within the

26 information regarding proposed changes on its website as
SB2394 Enrolled - 2028 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 (d) If, upon examination of the facility and investigation
3 of persons responsible for care of children and, in the case of
4 a foster home, taking into account information obtained for
5 purposes of evaluating a preliminary application, if
6 applicable, the Department is satisfied that the facility and
7 responsible persons reasonably meet standards prescribed for
8 the type of facility for which application is made, it shall

15 Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt organization
16 described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
17 1986 (or any successor provision of federal tax law) and (ii)
18 is in compliance with all of the standards necessary to
19 maintain its status as an organization described in Section
20 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or any
21 successor provision of federal tax law). The Department shall
22 grant a grace period of 24 months from August 15, 2005 (the
23 effective date of Public Act 94-586) this amendatory Act of
24 the 94th General Assembly for existing child welfare agencies
25 providing adoption services to obtain 501(c)(3) status. The

3 either retain its current license or transfer its current
4 license to a newly formed entity, if the creation of a new
5 entity is required in order to comply with this Section,
6 provided that the child welfare agency demonstrates that it
7 continues to meet all other licensing requirements and that
8 the principal officers and directors and programs of the
9 converted child welfare agency or newly organized child
10 welfare agency are substantially the same as the original. The
11 Department shall have the sole discretion to grant a one-year
12 one year extension to any agency unable to obtain 501(c)(3)
13 status within the timeframe specified in this subsection (e),
14 provided that such agency has filed an application for
15 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service within the

12 organization, corporation, institution, center, or group
13 providing adoption services must be licensed by the Department
14 as a child welfare agency as defined in Section 2.08 of this
15 Act. "Providing adoption services", as used in this Act,
16 includes facilitating or engaging in adoption services.
17 (b) Application for a license to operate a child care
18 facility (other than a day care center, day care home, or group
19 day care home) must be made to the Department in the manner and
20 on forms prescribed by it. An application to operate a foster
21 family home shall include, at a minimum: a completed written
22 form; written authorization by the applicant and all adult
23 members of the applicant's household to conduct a criminal
24 background investigation; medical evidence in the form of a
25 medical report, on forms prescribed by the Department, that
26 the applicant and all members of the household are free from
SB2394 Enrolled - 2031 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 communicable diseases or physical and mental conditions that

9 (b-5) Prior to submitting an application for a foster
10 family home license, a quality of care concerns applicant as
11 defined in Section 2.22a of this Act must submit a preliminary
12 application to the Department in the manner and on forms
13 prescribed by it. The Department shall explain to the quality
14 of care concerns applicant the grounds for requiring a
15 preliminary application. The preliminary application shall
16 include a list of (i) all children placed in the home by the
17 Department who were removed by the Department for reasons
18 other than returning to a parent and the circumstances under
19 which they were removed and (ii) all children placed by the
20 Department who were subsequently adopted by or placed in the
21 private guardianship of the quality of care concerns applicant
22 who are currently under 18 and who no longer reside in the home
23 and the reasons why they no longer reside in the home. The
24 preliminary application shall also include, if the quality of
25 care concerns applicant chooses to submit, (1) a response to
26 the quality of care concerns, including any reason the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2032 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 concerns are invalid, have been addressed or ameliorated, or
2 no longer apply and (2) affirmative documentation
3 demonstrating that the quality of care concerns applicant's
4 home does not pose a risk to children and that the family will
5 be able to meet the physical and emotional needs of children.
6 The Department shall verify the information in the preliminary

8 licensing complaints, (ii) information regarding any prior
9 child abuse or neglect investigations, (iii) information
10 regarding any involuntary foster home holds placed on the home
11 by the Department, and (iv) information regarding all child
12 exit interviews, as provided in Section 5.26 of the Children
13 and Family Services Act, regarding the home. Foster home
14 applicants with quality of care concerns are presumed
15 unsuitable for future licensure.
16 Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (b-5),
17 the Department may make an exception and issue a foster family
18 license to a quality of care concerns applicant if the
19 Department is satisfied that the foster family home does not
20 pose a risk to children and that the foster family will be able
21 to meet the physical and emotional needs of children. In
22 making this determination, the Department must obtain and
23 carefully review all relevant documents and shall obtain
24 consultation from its Clinical Division as appropriate and as
25 prescribed by Department rule and procedure. The Department
26 has the authority to deny a preliminary application based on
SB2394 Enrolled - 2033 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the record of quality of care concerns of the foster family
2 home. In the alternative, the Department may (i) approve the
3 preliminary application, (ii) approve the preliminary
4 application subject to obtaining additional information or
5 assessments, or (iii) approve the preliminary application for
6 purposes of placing a particular child or children only in the
7 foster family home. If the Department approves a preliminary
8 application, the foster family shall submit an application for
9 licensure as described in subsection (b) of this Section. The
10 Department shall notify the quality of care concerns applicant
11 of its decision and the basis for its decision in writing.
12 (c) The Department shall notify the public when a child
13 care institution, maternity center, or group home licensed by
14 the Department undergoes a change in (i) the range of care or
15 services offered at the facility or (ii) the type of children
16 served. The Department shall notify the public of the change
17 in a newspaper of general circulation in the county or
18 municipality in which the applicant's facility is or is
19 proposed to be located.
20 (c-5) When a child care institution, maternity center, or
21 a group home licensed by the Department undergoes a change in
22 (i) the age of children served or (ii) the area within the
23 facility used by children, the Department shall post
24 information regarding proposed changes on its website as
25 required by rule.
26 (d) If, upon examination of the facility and investigation
SB2394 Enrolled - 2034 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 of persons responsible for care of children and, in the case of
2 a foster home, taking into account information obtained for
3 purposes of evaluating a preliminary application, if
4 applicable, the Department is satisfied that the facility and
5 responsible persons reasonably meet standards prescribed for
6 the type of facility for which application is made, it shall
7 issue a license in proper form, designating on that license
8 the type of child care facility and, except for a child welfare
9 agency, the number of children to be served at any one time.
10 (e) The Department shall not issue or renew the license of
11 any child welfare agency providing adoption services, unless
12 the agency (i) is officially recognized by the United States
13 Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt organization
14 described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
15 1986 (or any successor provision of federal tax law) and (ii)
16 is in compliance with all of the standards necessary to
17 maintain its status as an organization described in Section
18 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (or any
19 successor provision of federal tax law). The Department shall
20 grant a grace period of 24 months from August 15, 2005 (the
21 effective date of Public Act 94-586) this amendatory Act of
22 the 94th General Assembly for existing child welfare agencies
23 providing adoption services to obtain 501(c)(3) status. The
24 Department shall permit an existing child welfare agency that
25 converts from its current structure in order to be recognized
26 as a 501(c)(3) organization as required by this Section to
SB2394 Enrolled - 2035 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 either retain its current license or transfer its current
2 license to a newly formed entity, if the creation of a new
3 entity is required in order to comply with this Section,
4 provided that the child welfare agency demonstrates that it
5 continues to meet all other licensing requirements and that
6 the principal officers and directors and programs of the
7 converted child welfare agency or newly organized child
8 welfare agency are substantially the same as the original. The
9 Department shall have the sole discretion to grant a one-year
10 one year extension to any agency unable to obtain 501(c)(3)
11 status within the timeframe specified in this subsection (e),
12 provided that such agency has filed an application for
13 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service within the
14 2-year timeframe specified in this subsection (e).
15 (f) The Department shall adopt rules to implement the
16 changes to this Section made by Public Act 103-770 this
17 amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly no later than
18 January 1, 2025.

21 (a) As used in this Section, "patient of record" means a

23 dentist has obtained a relevant medical and dental history and
24 on whom the dentist has (i) performed a physical examination
25 within the last year; (ii) obtained relevant records that are
SB2394 Enrolled - 2073 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

8 (b) A dentist may only practice or utilize teledentistry
9 on a patient of record. A dentist practicing dentistry through
10 teledentistry is subject to the same standard of care and
11 practice standards that are applicable to dental services
12 provided in a clinic or office setting. A dentist may provide
13 and delegate dental services using teledentistry only under
14 the supervision requirements as specified in this Act for
15 in-person care. Prior to providing teledentistry services to a
16 patient, a dentist must obtain informed consent from the

18 teledentistry by the dentist. A dentist providing
19 teledentistry under this Section shall provide the patient
20 with the his or her name, direct telephone number, and
21 physical practice address. It is a violation of this Act for a
22 provider of dental services rendering care through
23 teledentistry to require a patient to sign an agreement that
24 limits in any way the patient's ability to write a review of
25 services received or file a complaint with the Department or
26 other regulatory agency. The Department shall adopt rules to
SB2394 Enrolled - 2074 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 provide for the use of teledentistry in the State of Illinois.
2 (c) A dentist may treat a patient of record to provide
3 emergent care or conduct an initial consultation using
4 teledentistry for the purpose of treating or assessing for
5 acute pain, infection, injury, or any intraoral or perioral
6 condition that presents immediate harm or discomfort to the
7 patient for which treatment cannot be postponed. A provider of
8 dental services rendering emergent care or conducting an
9 initial consultation through teledentistry must direct the
10 patient to receive appropriate in-person care after the
11 provision of teledentistry services.

3 related to the examination and evaluation shall be excluded by
4 reason of any common law or statutory privilege relating to
5 communication between the licensee, permit holder, or
6 applicant and the examining physician or any member of the
7 multidisciplinary team. No authorization is necessary from the
8 licensee, permit holder, or applicant ordered to undergo an
9 evaluation and examination for the examining physician or any
10 member of the multidisciplinary team to provide information,
11 reports, records, or other documents or to provide any
12 testimony regarding the examination and evaluation. The
13 individual to be examined may have, at his or her own expense,
14 another physician of his or her choice present during all
15 aspects of the examination. Failure of any individual to
16 submit to mental or physical examination and evaluation, or
17 both, when directed, shall result in an automatic suspension,
18 without hearing, until such time as the individual submits to
19 the examination. If the Medical Board finds a physician unable
20 to practice following an examination and evaluation because of
21 the reasons set forth in this Section, the Medical Board shall
22 require such physician to submit to care, counseling, or
23 treatment by physicians, or other health care professionals,
24 approved or designated by the Medical Board, as a condition
25 for issued, continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to
26 practice. Any physician, whose license was granted pursuant to

1 Section 9, 17, or 19 of this Act, or, continued, reinstated,
2 renewed, disciplined, or supervised, subject to such terms,
3 conditions, or restrictions who shall fail to comply with such
4 terms, conditions, or restrictions, or to complete a required
5 program of care, counseling, or treatment, as determined by
6 the Chief Medical Coordinator or Deputy Medical Coordinators,
7 shall be referred to the Secretary for a determination as to
8 whether the licensee shall have his or her license suspended
9 immediately, pending a hearing by the Medical Board. In
10 instances in which the Secretary immediately suspends a
11 license under this Section, a hearing upon such person's

7 form is contrary to public policy, unfair to consumers, or
8 affects the integrity of a particular sport or the sports
9 betting industry. The Board shall grant the request upon a
10 demonstration of good cause from the requester and
11 consultation with licensees. The Board shall respond to a

19 medical assistance program.
20 Medical providers shall be required to meet certain
21 qualifications to participate in Partnerships to ensure the
22 delivery of high quality medical services. These
23 qualifications shall be determined by rule of the Illinois

9 regulations shall require that proof of the receipt of
10 prescription drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and

17 post-payment audit and review which shall, on a sampling
18 basis, be deemed adequate by the Illinois Department to assure
19 that such drugs, dentures, prosthetic devices and eyeglasses
20 for which payment is being made are actually being received by

11 (a) The Department shall establish and provide oversight
12 for a program of supportive living facilities that seek to
13 promote resident independence, dignity, respect, and
14 well-being in the most cost-effective manner.
15 A supportive living facility is (i) a free-standing
16 facility or (ii) a distinct physical and operational entity
17 within a mixed-use building that meets the criteria
18 established in subsection (d). A supportive living facility
19 integrates housing with health, personal care, and supportive
20 services and is a designated setting that offers residents
21 their own separate, private, and distinct living units.
22 Sites for the operation of the program shall be selected
23 by the Department based upon criteria that may include the
24 need for services in a geographic area, the availability of
25 funding, and the site's ability to meet the standards.

1 (b) Beginning July 1, 2014, subject to federal approval,
2 the Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities shall be
3 equal to the supportive living facility Medicaid rate
4 effective on June 30, 2014 increased by 8.85%. Once the
5 assessment imposed at Article V-G of this Code is determined
6 to be a permissible tax under Title XIX of the Social Security
7 Act, the Department shall increase the Medicaid rates for
8 supportive living facilities effective on July 1, 2014 by
9 9.09%. The Department shall apply this increase retroactively
10 to coincide with the imposition of the assessment in Article
11 V-G of this Code in accordance with the approval for federal
12 financial participation by the Centers for Medicare and
13 Medicaid Services.
14 The Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities
15 effective on July 1, 2017 must be equal to the rates in effect
16 for supportive living facilities on June 30, 2017 increased by
17 2.8%.
18 The Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities
19 effective on July 1, 2018 must be equal to the rates in effect

22 supportive living services on and after July 1, 2019 must be at
23 least 54.3% of the average total nursing facility services per
24 diem for the geographic areas defined by the Department while
25 maintaining the rate differential for dementia care and must
26 be updated whenever the total nursing facility service per
SB2394 Enrolled - 2280 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 diems are updated. Beginning July 1, 2022, upon the
2 implementation of the Patient Driven Payment Model, Medicaid
3 rates for supportive living services must be at least 54.3% of
4 the average total nursing services per diem rate for the
5 geographic areas. For purposes of this provision, the average
6 total nursing services per diem rate shall include all add-ons
7 for nursing facilities for the geographic area provided for in
8 Section 5-5.2. The rate differential for dementia care must be
9 maintained in these rates and the rates shall be updated
10 whenever nursing facility per diem rates are updated.
11 Subject to federal approval, beginning January 1, 2024,
12 the dementia care rate for supportive living services must be
13 no less than the non-dementia care supportive living services
14 rate multiplied by 1.5.
15 (b-5) Subject to federal approval, beginning January 1,
16 2025, Medicaid rates for supportive living services must be at
17 least 54.75% of the average total nursing services per diem
18 rate for the geographic areas defined by the Department and
19 shall include all add-ons for nursing facilities for the
20 geographic area provided for in Section 5-5.2.

9 not designated for the purpose of providing assisted
10 living services as required under the Assisted Living and

10 living facilities with the additional federal financial
11 participation funds that result from the enhanced federal
12 medical assistance percentage from April 1, 2021 through March
13 31, 2022. The Department may issue parameters around how the
14 supplemental payment should be spent, including quality
15 improvement activities. The Department may alter the form,
16 methods, or timeframes concerning the supplemental per diem
17 rate to comply with any subsequent changes to federal law,
18 changes made by guidance issued by the federal Centers for
19 Medicare and Medicaid Services, or other changes necessary to
20 receive the enhanced federal medical assistance percentage.

SB2394 Enrolled - 2295 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 written. Notification shall be limited to advising the
2 MCO that the patient has been admitted to a hospital
3 inpatient level of care.
4 (B) If the admitting hospital complies with the
5 notification provisions of subparagraph (A), the
6 Medicaid MCO may not initiate concurrent review before
7 the end of the inpatient stabilization period. If the
8 admitting hospital does not comply with the
9 notification requirements in subparagraph (A), the
10 Medicaid MCO may initiate concurrent review for the
11 continuation of the stay beginning at the end of the
12 48-hour notification period.
13 (C) Coverage for services provided during the
14 48-hour notification period may not be retrospectively
15 denied.
16 (2) The MCO shall cover emergency services provided to
17 enrollees who are temporarily away from their residence
18 and outside the contracting area to the extent that the
19 enrollees would be entitled to the emergency services if
20 they still were within the contracting area.
21 (3) The MCO shall have no obligation to cover
22 emergency services provided on an emergency basis that are
23 not covered services under the contract between the MCO
24 and the Department.
25 (4) The MCO shall not condition coverage for emergency
26 services on the treating provider notifying the MCO of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2296 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 enrollee's emergency medical screening examination and
2 treatment within 10 days after presentation for emergency
3 services.
4 (5) The determination of the attending emergency
5 physician, or the practitioner responsible for the
6 enrollee's care at the hospital, of whether an enrollee
7 requires inpatient stabilization services, can be
8 stabilized in the outpatient setting, or is sufficiently
9 stabilized for discharge or transfer to another setting,
10 shall be binding on the MCO. The MCO shall cover and
11 reimburse providers for emergency services as billed by
12 the provider for all enrollees whether the emergency
13 services are provided by an affiliated or non-affiliated
14 provider, except in cases of fraud. The MCO shall
15 reimburse inpatient stabilization services provided during
16 the inpatient stabilization period and billed as inpatient
17 level of care based on the appropriate inpatient
18 reimbursement methodology.
19 (6) The MCO's financial responsibility for
20 post-stabilization medical services it has not
21 pre-approved ends when:
22 (A) a plan physician with privileges at the
23 treating hospital assumes responsibility for the
24 enrollee's care;
25 (B) a plan physician assumes responsibility for
26 the enrollee's care through transfer;
SB2394 Enrolled - 2297 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (C) a contracting entity representative and the
2 treating physician reach an agreement concerning the
3 enrollee's care; or
4 (D) the enrollee is discharged.
5 (e-5) An MCO shall pay for all post-stabilization medical

7 situations:
8 (1) the MCO or its URO authorized such services;
9 (2) such services were administered to maintain the
10 enrollee's stabilized condition within one hour after a
11 request to the MCO for authorization of further
12 post-stabilization services;
13 (3) the MCO or its URO did not respond to a request to
14 authorize such services within one hour;
15 (4) the MCO or its URO could not be contacted; or
16 (5) the MCO or its URO and the treating provider, if
17 the treating provider is a non-affiliated provider, could
18 not reach an agreement concerning the enrollee's care and
19 an affiliated provider was unavailable for a consultation,
20 in which case the MCO must pay for such services rendered
21 by the treating non-affiliated provider until an
22 affiliated provider was reached and either concurred with
23 the treating non-affiliated provider's plan of care or
24 assumed responsibility for the enrollee's care. Such
25 payment shall be made at the default rate of reimbursement
26 paid under the State's Medicaid fee-for-service program
SB2394 Enrolled - 2298 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 methodology, including all policy adjusters, including,
2 but not limited to, Medicaid High Volume Adjustments,
3 Medicaid Percentage Adjustments, Outpatient High Volume
4 Adjustments, and all outlier add-on adjustments to the
5 extent that such adjustments are incorporated in the
6 development of the applicable MCO capitated rates.
7 (f) Network adequacy and transparency.
8 (1) The Department shall:
9 (A) ensure that an adequate provider network is in
10 place, taking into consideration health professional
11 shortage areas and medically underserved areas;
12 (B) publicly release an explanation of its process
13 for analyzing network adequacy;
14 (C) periodically ensure that an MCO continues to
15 have an adequate network in place;
16 (D) require MCOs, including Medicaid Managed Care
17 Entities as defined in Section 5-30.2, to meet
18 provider directory requirements under Section 5-30.3;
19 (E) require MCOs to ensure that any
20 Medicaid-certified provider under contract with an MCO
21 and previously submitted on a roster on the date of
22 service is paid for any medically necessary,
23 Medicaid-covered, and authorized service rendered to
24 any of the MCO's enrollees, regardless of inclusion on
25 the MCO's published and publicly available directory
26 of available providers; and
SB2394 Enrolled - 2299 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (F) require MCOs, including Medicaid Managed Care
2 Entities as defined in Section 5-30.2, to meet each of
3 the requirements under subsection (d-5) of Section 10
4 of the Network Adequacy and Transparency Act; with
5 necessary exceptions to the MCO's network to ensure
6 that admission and treatment with a provider or at a
7 treatment facility in accordance with the network
8 adequacy standards in paragraph (3) of subsection
9 (d-5) of Section 10 of the Network Adequacy and
10 Transparency Act is limited to providers or facilities
11 that are Medicaid certified.
12 (2) Each MCO shall confirm its receipt of information
13 submitted specific to physician or dentist additions or
14 physician or dentist deletions from the MCO's provider
15 network within 3 days after receiving all required
16 information from contracted physicians or dentists, and
17 electronic physician and dental directories must be
18 updated consistent with current rules as published by the
19 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or its
20 successor agency.
21 (g) Timely payment of claims.
22 (1) The MCO shall pay a claim within 30 days of
23 receiving a claim that contains all the essential
24 information needed to adjudicate the claim.
25 (2) The MCO shall notify the billing party of its
26 inability to adjudicate a claim within 30 days of
SB2394 Enrolled - 2300 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 receiving that claim.
2 (3) The MCO shall pay a penalty that is at least equal
3 to the timely payment interest penalty imposed under
4 Section 368a of the Illinois Insurance Code for any claims
5 not timely paid.
6 (A) When an MCO is required to pay a timely payment
7 interest penalty to a provider, the MCO must calculate
8 and pay the timely payment interest penalty that is
9 due to the provider within 30 days after the payment of
10 the claim. In no event shall a provider be required to
11 request or apply for payment of any owed timely
12 payment interest penalties.
13 (B) Such payments shall be reported separately
14 from the claim payment for services rendered to the
15 MCO's enrollee and clearly identified as interest
16 payments.
17 (4)(A) The Department shall require MCOs to expedite
18 payments to providers identified on the Department's
19 expedited provider list, determined in accordance with 89
20 Ill. Adm. Code 140.71(b), on a schedule at least as
21 frequently as the providers are paid under the
22 Department's fee-for-service expedited provider schedule.
23 (B) Compliance with the expedited provider requirement
24 may be satisfied by an MCO through the use of a Periodic
25 Interim Payment (PIP) program that has been mutually
26 agreed to and documented between the MCO and the provider,
SB2394 Enrolled - 2301 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 if the PIP program ensures that any expedited provider
2 receives regular and periodic payments based on prior
3 period payment experience from that MCO. Total payments
4 under the PIP program may be reconciled against future PIP
5 payments on a schedule mutually agreed to between the MCO
6 and the provider.
7 (C) The Department shall share at least monthly its
8 expedited provider list and the frequency with which it
9 pays providers on the expedited list.
10 (g-5) Recognizing that the rapid transformation of the
11 Illinois Medicaid program may have unintended operational
12 challenges for both payers and providers:
13 (1) in no instance shall a medically necessary covered
14 service rendered in good faith, based upon eligibility
15 information documented by the provider, be denied coverage
16 or diminished in payment amount if the eligibility or
17 coverage information available at the time the service was
18 rendered is later found to be inaccurate in the assignment
19 of coverage responsibility between MCOs or the
20 fee-for-service system, except for instances when an
21 individual is deemed to have not been eligible for
22 coverage under the Illinois Medicaid program; and
23 (2) the Department shall, by December 31, 2016, adopt
24 rules establishing policies that shall be included in the
25 Medicaid managed care policy and procedures manual
26 addressing payment resolutions in situations in which a
SB2394 Enrolled - 2302 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 provider renders services based upon information obtained
2 after verifying a patient's eligibility and coverage plan
3 through either the Department's current enrollment system
4 or a system operated by the coverage plan identified by
5 the patient presenting for services:
6 (A) such medically necessary covered services
7 shall be considered rendered in good faith;
8 (B) such policies and procedures shall be
9 developed in consultation with industry
10 representatives of the Medicaid managed care health
11 plans and representatives of provider associations
12 representing the majority of providers within the
13 identified provider industry; and
14 (C) such rules shall be published for a review and
15 comment period of no less than 30 days on the
16 Department's website with final rules remaining
17 available on the Department's website.
18 The rules on payment resolutions shall include, but
19 not be limited to:
20 (A) the extension of the timely filing period;
21 (B) retroactive prior authorizations; and
22 (C) guaranteed minimum payment rate of no less
23 than the current, as of the date of service,
24 fee-for-service rate, plus all applicable add-ons,
25 when the resulting service relationship is out of
26 network.
SB2394 Enrolled - 2303 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 The rules shall be applicable for both MCO coverage
2 and fee-for-service coverage.
3 If the fee-for-service system is ultimately determined to
4 have been responsible for coverage on the date of service, the
5 Department shall provide for an extended period for claims
6 submission outside the standard timely filing requirements.
7 (g-6) MCO Performance Metrics Report.
8 (1) The Department shall publish, on at least a
9 quarterly basis, each MCO's operational performance,
10 including, but not limited to, the following categories of
11 metrics:
12 (A) claims payment, including timeliness and
13 accuracy;
14 (B) prior authorizations;
15 (C) grievance and appeals;
16 (D) utilization statistics;
17 (E) provider disputes;
18 (F) provider credentialing; and
19 (G) member and provider customer service.
20 (2) The Department shall ensure that the metrics
21 report is accessible to providers online by January 1,
22 2017.
23 (3) The metrics shall be developed in consultation
24 with industry representatives of the Medicaid managed care
25 health plans and representatives of associations
26 representing the majority of providers within the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2304 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 identified industry.
2 (4) Metrics shall be defined and incorporated into the
3 applicable Managed Care Policy Manual issued by the
4 Department.
5 (g-7) MCO claims processing and performance analysis. In
6 order to monitor MCO payments to hospital providers, pursuant
7 to Public Act 100-580, the Department shall post an analysis
8 of MCO claims processing and payment performance on its
9 website every 6 months. Such analysis shall include a review
10 and evaluation of a representative sample of hospital claims
11 that are rejected and denied for clean and unclean claims and
12 the top 5 reasons for such actions and timeliness of claims
13 adjudication, which identifies the percentage of claims
14 adjudicated within 30, 60, 90, and over 90 days, and the dollar
15 amounts associated with those claims.
16 (g-8) Dispute resolution process. The Department shall
17 maintain a provider complaint portal through which a provider
18 can submit to the Department unresolved disputes with an MCO.
19 An unresolved dispute means an MCO's decision that denies in
20 whole or in part a claim for reimbursement to a provider for
21 health care services rendered by the provider to an enrollee
22 of the MCO with which the provider disagrees. Disputes shall
23 not be submitted to the portal until the provider has availed
24 itself of the MCO's internal dispute resolution process.
25 Disputes that are submitted to the MCO internal dispute
26 resolution process may be submitted to the Department of
SB2394 Enrolled - 2305 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Healthcare and Family Services' complaint portal no sooner
2 than 30 days after submitting to the MCO's internal process
3 and not later than 30 days after the unsatisfactory resolution
4 of the internal MCO process or 60 days after submitting the
5 dispute to the MCO internal process. Multiple claim disputes
6 involving the same MCO may be submitted in one complaint,
7 regardless of whether the claims are for different enrollees,
8 when the specific reason for non-payment of the claims
9 involves a common question of fact or policy. Within 10
10 business days of receipt of a complaint, the Department shall
11 present such disputes to the appropriate MCO, which shall then
12 have 30 days to issue its written proposal to resolve the
13 dispute. The Department may grant one 30-day extension of this
14 time frame to one of the parties to resolve the dispute. If the
15 dispute remains unresolved at the end of this time frame or the
16 provider is not satisfied with the MCO's written proposal to
17 resolve the dispute, the provider may, within 30 days, request
18 the Department to review the dispute and make a final
19 determination. Within 30 days of the request for Department
20 review of the dispute, both the provider and the MCO shall
21 present all relevant information to the Department for
22 resolution and make individuals with knowledge of the issues
23 available to the Department for further inquiry if needed.
24 Within 30 days of receiving the relevant information on the
25 dispute, or the lapse of the period for submitting such
26 information, the Department shall issue a written decision on
SB2394 Enrolled - 2306 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the dispute based on contractual terms between the provider
2 and the MCO, contractual terms between the MCO and the
3 Department of Healthcare and Family Services and applicable
4 Medicaid policy. The decision of the Department shall be
5 final. By January 1, 2020, the Department shall establish by
6 rule further details of this dispute resolution process.
7 Disputes between MCOs and providers presented to the
8 Department for resolution are not contested cases, as defined
9 in Section 1-30 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act,
10 conferring any right to an administrative hearing.
11 (g-9)(1) The Department shall publish annually on its
12 website a report on the calculation of each managed care
13 organization's medical loss ratio showing the following:
14 (A) Premium revenue, with appropriate adjustments.
15 (B) Benefit expense, setting forth the aggregate
16 amount spent for the following:
17 (i) Direct paid claims.
18 (ii) Subcapitation payments.
19 (iii) Other claim payments.
20 (iv) Direct reserves.
21 (v) Gross recoveries.
22 (vi) Expenses for activities that improve health
23 care quality as allowed by the Department.
24 (2) The medical loss ratio shall be calculated consistent
25 with federal law and regulation following a claims runout
26 period determined by the Department.
SB2394 Enrolled - 2307 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (g-10)(1) "Liability effective date" means the date on
2 which an MCO becomes responsible for payment for medically
3 necessary and covered services rendered by a provider to one
4 of its enrollees in accordance with the contract terms between
5 the MCO and the provider. The liability effective date shall
6 be the later of:
7 (A) The execution date of a network participation
8 contract agreement.
9 (B) The date the provider or its representative
10 submits to the MCO the complete and accurate standardized
11 roster form for the provider in the format approved by the
12 Department.
13 (C) The provider effective date contained within the
14 Department's provider enrollment subsystem within the
15 Illinois Medicaid Program Advanced Cloud Technology
16 (IMPACT) System.
17 (2) The standardized roster form may be submitted to the
18 MCO at the same time that the provider submits an enrollment
19 application to the Department through IMPACT.
20 (3) By October 1, 2019, the Department shall require all
21 MCOs to update their provider directory with information for
22 new practitioners of existing contracted providers within 30
23 days of receipt of a complete and accurate standardized roster
24 template in the format approved by the Department provided
25 that the provider is effective in the Department's provider
26 enrollment subsystem within the IMPACT system. Such provider
SB2394 Enrolled - 2308 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 directory shall be readily accessible for purposes of
2 selecting an approved health care provider and comply with all
3 other federal and State requirements.
4 (g-11) The Department shall work with relevant
5 stakeholders on the development of operational guidelines to
6 enhance and improve operational performance of Illinois'
7 Medicaid managed care program, including, but not limited to,
8 improving provider billing practices, reducing claim
9 rejections and inappropriate payment denials, and
10 standardizing processes, procedures, definitions, and response
11 timelines, with the goal of reducing provider and MCO
12 administrative burdens and conflict. The Department shall
13 include a report on the progress of these program improvements
14 and other topics in its Fiscal Year 2020 annual report to the
15 General Assembly.
16 (g-12) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the
17 Department or an MCO requires submission of a claim for
18 payment in a non-electronic format, a provider shall always be
19 afforded a period of no less than 90 business days, as a
20 correction period, following any notification of rejection by
21 either the Department or the MCO to correct errors or
22 omissions in the original submission.
23 Under no circumstances, either by an MCO or under the
24 State's fee-for-service system, shall a provider be denied
25 payment for failure to comply with any timely submission
26 requirements under this Code or under any existing contract,
SB2394 Enrolled - 2309 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 unless the non-electronic format claim submission occurs after
2 the initial 180 days following the latest date of service on
3 the claim, or after the 90 business days correction period
4 following notification to the provider of rejection or denial
5 of payment.
6 (g-13) Utilization Review Standardization and
7 Transparency.
8 (1) To ensure greater standardization and transparency
9 related to service authorization determinations, for all
10 individuals covered under the medical assistance program,
11 including both the fee-for-service and managed care
12 programs, the Department shall, in consultation with the
13 MCOs, a statewide association representing the MCOs, a
14 statewide association representing the majority of
15 Illinois hospitals, a statewide association representing
16 physicians, or any other interested parties deemed

18 consistent with this subsection, in accordance with the
19 Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
20 (2) Prior to July 1, 2025, the Department shall in

25 authorization policies;
26 (B) procedures that, due to medical complexity,
SB2394 Enrolled - 2310 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

13 Sec. 14-12. Hospital rate reform payment system. The
14 hospital payment system pursuant to Section 14-11 of this
15 Article shall be as follows:
16 (a) Inpatient hospital services. Effective for discharges
17 on and after July 1, 2014, reimbursement for inpatient general
18 acute care services shall utilize the All Patient Refined
19 Diagnosis Related Grouping (APR-DRG) software, version 30,
20 distributed by 3MTM Health Information System.
21 (1) The Department shall establish Medicaid weighting
22 factors to be used in the reimbursement system established
23 under this subsection. Initial weighting factors shall be
24 the weighting factors as published by 3M Health
25 Information System, associated with Version 30.0 adjusted
SB2394 Enrolled - 2317 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 for the Illinois experience.
2 (2) The Department shall establish a
3 statewide-standardized amount to be used in the inpatient
4 reimbursement system. The Department shall publish these
5 amounts on its website no later than 10 calendar days
6 prior to their effective date.
7 (3) In addition to the statewide-standardized amount,
8 the Department shall develop adjusters to adjust the rate
9 of reimbursement for critical Medicaid providers or
10 services for trauma, transplantation services, perinatal
11 care, and Graduate Medical Education (GME).
12 (4) The Department shall develop add-on payments to
13 account for exceptionally costly inpatient stays,
14 consistent with Medicare outlier principles. Outlier fixed
15 loss thresholds may be updated to control for excessive
16 growth in outlier payments no more frequently than on an
17 annual basis, but at least once every 4 years. Upon
18 updating the fixed loss thresholds, the Department shall
19 be required to update base rates within 12 months.
20 (5) The Department shall define those hospitals or
21 distinct parts of hospitals that shall be exempt from the
22 APR-DRG reimbursement system established under this
23 Section. The Department shall publish these hospitals'
24 inpatient rates on its website no later than 10 calendar
25 days prior to their effective date.
26 (6) Beginning July 1, 2014 and ending on December 31,
SB2394 Enrolled - 2318 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 2023, in addition to the statewide-standardized amount,
2 the Department shall develop an adjustor to adjust the
3 rate of reimbursement for safety-net hospitals defined in
4 Section 5-5e.1 of this Code excluding pediatric hospitals.
5 (7) Beginning July 1, 2014, in addition to the
6 statewide-standardized amount, the Department shall
7 develop an adjustor to adjust the rate of reimbursement
8 for Illinois freestanding inpatient psychiatric hospitals
9 that are not designated as children's hospitals by the
10 Department but are primarily treating patients under the
11 age of 21.
12 (7.5) (Blank).
13 (8) Beginning July 1, 2018, in addition to the
14 statewide-standardized amount, the Department shall adjust
15 the rate of reimbursement for hospitals designated by the
16 Department of Public Health as a Perinatal Level II or II+
17 center by applying the same adjustor that is applied to
18 Perinatal and Obstetrical care cases for Perinatal Level
19 III centers, as of December 31, 2017.
20 (9) Beginning July 1, 2018, in addition to the
21 statewide-standardized amount, the Department shall apply
22 the same adjustor that is applied to trauma cases as of
23 December 31, 2017 to inpatient claims to treat patients
24 with burns, including, but not limited to, APR-DRGs 841,
25 842, 843, and 844.
26 (10) Beginning July 1, 2018, the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2319 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 statewide-standardized amount for inpatient general acute
2 care services shall be uniformly increased so that base
3 claims projected reimbursement is increased by an amount
4 equal to the funds allocated in paragraph (1) of
5 subsection (b) of Section 5A-12.6, less the amount
6 allocated under paragraphs (8) and (9) of this subsection
7 and paragraphs (3) and (4) of subsection (b) multiplied by
8 40%.
9 (11) Beginning July 1, 2018, the reimbursement for
10 inpatient rehabilitation services shall be increased by
11 the addition of a $96 per day add-on.
12 (b) Outpatient hospital services. Effective for dates of
13 service on and after July 1, 2014, reimbursement for
14 outpatient services shall utilize the Enhanced Ambulatory
15 Procedure Grouping (EAPG) software, version 3.7 distributed by
16 3MTM Health Information System.
17 (1) The Department shall establish Medicaid weighting
18 factors to be used in the reimbursement system established
19 under this subsection. The initial weighting factors shall
20 be the weighting factors as published by 3M Health
21 Information System, associated with Version 3.7.
22 (2) The Department shall establish service specific
23 statewide-standardized amounts to be used in the
24 reimbursement system.
25 (A) The initial statewide standardized amounts,
26 with the labor portion adjusted by the Calendar Year
SB2394 Enrolled - 2320 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 2013 Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System
2 wage index with reclassifications, shall be published
3 by the Department on its website no later than 10
4 calendar days prior to their effective date.
5 (B) The Department shall establish adjustments to
6 the statewide-standardized amounts for each Critical
7 Access Hospital, as designated by the Department of
8 Public Health in accordance with 42 CFR 485, Subpart
9 F. For outpatient services provided on or before June
10 30, 2018, the EAPG standardized amounts are determined
11 separately for each critical access hospital such that
12 simulated EAPG payments using outpatient base period
13 paid claim data plus payments under Section 5A-12.4 of
14 this Code net of the associated tax costs are equal to
15 the estimated costs of outpatient base period claims
16 data with a rate year cost inflation factor applied.
17 (3) In addition to the statewide-standardized amounts,
18 the Department shall develop adjusters to adjust the rate
19 of reimbursement for critical Medicaid hospital outpatient
20 providers or services, including outpatient high volume or
21 safety-net hospitals. Beginning July 1, 2018, the
22 outpatient high volume adjustor shall be increased to
23 increase annual expenditures associated with this adjustor
24 by $79,200,000, based on the State Fiscal Year 2015 base
25 year data and this adjustor shall apply to public
26 hospitals, except for large public hospitals, as defined
SB2394 Enrolled - 2321 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 under 89 Ill. Adm. Code 148.25(a).
2 (4) Beginning July 1, 2018, in addition to the
3 statewide standardized amounts, the Department shall make
4 an add-on payment for outpatient expensive devices and
5 drugs. This add-on payment shall at least apply to claim
6 lines that: (i) are assigned with one of the following
7 EAPGs: 490, 1001 to 1020, and coded with one of the
8 following revenue codes: 0274 to 0276, 0278; or (ii) are
9 assigned with one of the following EAPGs: 430 to 441, 443,
10 444, 460 to 465, 495, 496, 1090. The add-on payment shall
11 be calculated as follows: the claim line's covered charges
12 multiplied by the hospital's total acute cost to charge
13 ratio, less the claim line's EAPG payment plus $1,000,
14 multiplied by 0.8.
15 (5) Beginning July 1, 2018, the statewide-standardized
16 amounts for outpatient services shall be increased by a
17 uniform percentage so that base claims projected
18 reimbursement is increased by an amount equal to no less
19 than the funds allocated in paragraph (1) of subsection
20 (b) of Section 5A-12.6, less the amount allocated under
21 paragraphs (8) and (9) of subsection (a) and paragraphs
22 (3) and (4) of this subsection multiplied by 46%.
23 (6) Effective for dates of service on or after July 1,
24 2018, the Department shall establish adjustments to the
25 statewide-standardized amounts for each Critical Access
26 Hospital, as designated by the Department of Public Health
SB2394 Enrolled - 2322 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 in accordance with 42 CFR 485, Subpart F, such that each
2 Critical Access Hospital's standardized amount for
3 outpatient services shall be increased by the applicable
4 uniform percentage determined pursuant to paragraph (5) of
5 this subsection. It is the intent of the General Assembly
6 that the adjustments required under this paragraph (6) by
7 Public Act 100-1181 shall be applied retroactively to
8 claims for dates of service provided on or after July 1,
9 2018.
10 (7) Effective for dates of service on or after March
11 8, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 100-1181), the
12 Department shall recalculate and implement an updated
13 statewide-standardized amount for outpatient services
14 provided by hospitals that are not Critical Access
15 Hospitals to reflect the applicable uniform percentage
16 determined pursuant to paragraph (5).
17 (1) Any recalculation to the
18 statewide-standardized amounts for outpatient services
19 provided by hospitals that are not Critical Access
20 Hospitals shall be the amount necessary to achieve the
21 increase in the statewide-standardized amounts for
22 outpatient services increased by a uniform percentage,
23 so that base claims projected reimbursement is
24 increased by an amount equal to no less than the funds
25 allocated in paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of
26 Section 5A-12.6, less the amount allocated under
SB2394 Enrolled - 2323 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 paragraphs (8) and (9) of subsection (a) and
2 paragraphs (3) and (4) of this subsection, for all
3 hospitals that are not Critical Access Hospitals,
4 multiplied by 46%.
5 (2) It is the intent of the General Assembly that
6 the recalculations required under this paragraph (7)
7 by Public Act 100-1181 shall be applied prospectively
8 to claims for dates of service provided on or after
9 March 8, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act
10 100-1181) and that no recoupment or repayment by the
11 Department or an MCO of payments attributable to
12 recalculation under this paragraph (7), issued to the
13 hospital for dates of service on or after July 1, 2018
14 and before March 8, 2019 (the effective date of Public
15 Act 100-1181), shall be permitted.
16 (8) The Department shall ensure that all necessary
17 adjustments to the managed care organization capitation
18 base rates necessitated by the adjustments under
19 subparagraph (6) or (7) of this subsection are completed
20 and applied retroactively in accordance with Section
21 5-30.8 of this Code within 90 days of March 8, 2019 (the
22 effective date of Public Act 100-1181).
23 (9) Within 60 days after federal approval of the
24 change made to the assessment in Section 5A-2 by Public
25 Act 101-650, the Department shall incorporate into the
26 EAPG system for outpatient services those services
SB2394 Enrolled - 2324 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 performed by hospitals currently billed through the
2 Non-Institutional Provider billing system.
3 (b-5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
4 beginning with dates of service on and after January 1, 2023,
5 any general acute care hospital with more than 500 outpatient
6 psychiatric Medicaid services to persons under 19 years of age
7 in any calendar year shall be paid the outpatient add-on
8 payment of no less than $113.
9 (c) In consultation with the hospital community, the
10 Department is authorized to replace 89 Ill. Adm. Code 152.150
11 as published in 38 Ill. Reg. 4980 through 4986 within 12 months
12 of June 16, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act 98-651). If
13 the Department does not replace these rules within 12 months
14 of June 16, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act 98-651), the
15 rules in effect for 152.150 as published in 38 Ill. Reg. 4980
16 through 4986 shall remain in effect until modified by rule by
17 the Department. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed
18 to mandate that the Department file a replacement rule.
19 (d) Transition period. There shall be a transition period
20 to the reimbursement systems authorized under this Section
21 that shall begin on the effective date of these systems and
22 continue until June 30, 2018, unless extended by rule by the
23 Department. To help provide an orderly and predictable
24 transition to the new reimbursement systems and to preserve
25 and enhance access to the hospital services during this
26 transition, the Department shall allocate a transitional
SB2394 Enrolled - 2325 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 hospital access pool of at least $290,000,000 annually so that
2 transitional hospital access payments are made to hospitals.
3 (1) After the transition period, the Department may
4 begin incorporating the transitional hospital access pool
5 into the base rate structure; however, the transitional
6 hospital access payments in effect on June 30, 2018 shall
7 continue to be paid, if continued under Section 5A-16.
8 (2) After the transition period, if the Department
9 reduces payments from the transitional hospital access
10 pool, it shall increase base rates, develop new adjustors,
11 adjust current adjustors, develop new hospital access
12 payments based on updated information, or any combination
13 thereof by an amount equal to the decreases proposed in
14 the transitional hospital access pool payments, ensuring
15 that the entire transitional hospital access pool amount
16 shall continue to be used for hospital payments.
17 (d-5) Hospital and health care transformation program. The
18 Department shall develop a hospital and health care
19 transformation program to provide financial assistance to
20 hospitals in transforming their services and care models to
21 better align with the needs of the communities they serve. The
22 payments authorized in this Section shall be subject to
23 approval by the federal government.
24 (1) Phase 1. In State fiscal years 2019 through 2020,
25 the Department shall allocate funds from the transitional
26 access hospital pool to create a hospital transformation
SB2394 Enrolled - 2326 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 pool of at least $262,906,870 annually and make hospital
2 transformation payments to hospitals. Subject to Section
3 5A-16, in State fiscal years 2019 and 2020, an Illinois
4 hospital that received either a transitional hospital
5 access payment under subsection (d) or a supplemental
6 payment under subsection (f) of this Section in State
7 fiscal year 2018, shall receive a hospital transformation
8 payment as follows:
9 (A) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
10 inpatient utilization rate is equal to or greater than
11 45%, the hospital transformation payment shall be
12 equal to 100% of the sum of its transitional hospital
13 access payment authorized under subsection (d) and any
14 supplemental payment authorized under subsection (f).
15 (B) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
16 inpatient utilization rate is equal to or greater than
17 25% but less than 45%, the hospital transformation
18 payment shall be equal to 75% of the sum of its
19 transitional hospital access payment authorized under
20 subsection (d) and any supplemental payment authorized
21 under subsection (f).
22 (C) If the hospital's Rate Year 2017 Medicaid
23 inpatient utilization rate is less than 25%, the
24 hospital transformation payment shall be equal to 50%
25 of the sum of its transitional hospital access payment
26 authorized under subsection (d) and any supplemental
SB2394 Enrolled - 2327 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 payment authorized under subsection (f).
2 (2) Phase 2.
3 (A) The funding amount from phase one shall be
4 incorporated into directed payment and pass-through
5 payment methodologies described in Section 5A-12.7.
6 (B) Because there are communities in Illinois that
7 experience significant health care disparities due to
8 systemic racism, as recently emphasized by the
9 COVID-19 pandemic, aggravated by social determinants
10 of health and a lack of sufficiently allocated health
11 care healthcare resources, particularly
12 community-based services, preventive care, obstetric
13 care, chronic disease management, and specialty care,
14 the Department shall establish a health care
15 transformation program that shall be supported by the
16 transformation funding pool. It is the intention of
17 the General Assembly that innovative partnerships
18 funded by the pool must be designed to establish or
19 improve integrated health care delivery systems that
20 will provide significant access to the Medicaid and
21 uninsured populations in their communities, as well as
22 improve health care equity. It is also the intention
23 of the General Assembly that partnerships recognize
24 and address the disparities revealed by the COVID-19
25 pandemic, as well as the need for post-COVID care.
26 During State fiscal years 2021 through 2027, the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2328 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 hospital and health care transformation program shall
2 be supported by an annual transformation funding pool
3 of up to $150,000,000, pending federal matching funds,
4 to be allocated during the specified fiscal years for
5 the purpose of facilitating hospital and health care
6 transformation. No disbursement of moneys for
7 transformation projects from the transformation
8 funding pool described under this Section shall be
9 considered an award, a grant, or an expenditure of
10 grant funds. Funding agreements made in accordance
11 with the transformation program shall be considered
12 purchases of care under the Illinois Procurement Code,
13 and funds shall be expended by the Department in a
14 manner that maximizes federal funding to expend the
15 entire allocated amount.
16 The Department shall convene, within 30 days after
17 March 12, 2021 (the effective date of Public Act
18 101-655), a workgroup that includes subject matter
19 experts on health care healthcare disparities and
20 stakeholders from distressed communities, which could
21 be a subcommittee of the Medicaid Advisory Committee,
22 to review and provide recommendations on how
23 Department policy, including health care
24 transformation, can improve health disparities and the
25 impact on communities disproportionately affected by
26 COVID-19. The workgroup shall consider and make
SB2394 Enrolled - 2329 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 recommendations on the following issues: a community
2 safety-net designation of certain hospitals, racial
3 equity, and a regional partnership to bring additional
4 specialty services to communities.
5 (C) As provided in paragraph (9) of Section 3 of
6 the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act, any
7 hospital participating in the transformation program
8 may be excluded from the requirements of the Illinois
9 Health Facilities Planning Act for those projects
10 related to the hospital's transformation. To be
11 eligible, the hospital must submit to the Health
12 Facilities and Services Review Board approval from the
13 Department that the project is a part of the
14 hospital's transformation.
15 (D) As provided in subsection (a-20) of Section
16 32.5 of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems
17 Act, a hospital that received hospital transformation
18 payments under this Section may convert to a
19 freestanding emergency center. To be eligible for such
20 a conversion, the hospital must submit to the
21 Department of Public Health approval from the
22 Department that the project is a part of the
23 hospital's transformation.
24 (E) Criteria for proposals. To be eligible for
25 funding under this Section, a transformation proposal
26 shall meet all of the following criteria:

18 under subparagraph (G). Alignment with the
19 Department's overall strategic initiatives shall be an
20 important factor. To the extent that fiscal year
21 funding is not adequate to fund all eligible projects
22 that apply, the Department shall prioritize
23 applications that most comprehensively and effectively
24 address the criteria listed under subparagraph (G).

18 thereafter.
19 c. The Agency shall have the authority to issue a
20 State operating permit for a source under subsection (a)
21 of Section 39 of this Act, as amended, and regulations
22 promulgated thereunder, which includes federally
23 enforceable conditions limiting the "potential to emit" of
24 the source to a level below the major source threshold for
25 that source as described in paragraph (c) of subsection 2
SB2394 Enrolled - 2451 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 of this Section, thereby excluding the source from the
2 CAAPP, when requested by the applicant pursuant to
3 paragraph (u) of subsection 5 of this Section. The public
4 notice requirements of this Section applicable to CAAPP
5 permits shall also apply to the initial issuance of
6 permits under this paragraph.
7 d. For purposes of this Act, a permit issued by USEPA
8 under Section 505 of the Clean Air Act, as now and

11 4. Transition.
12 a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall not be
13 required to renew an existing State operating permit for
14 any emission unit at such CAAPP source once a CAAPP
15 application timely submitted prior to expiration of the
16 State operating permit has been deemed complete. For
17 purposes other than permit renewal, the obligation upon
18 the owner or operator of a CAAPP source to obtain a State
19 operating permit is not removed upon submittal of the
20 complete CAAPP permit application. An owner or operator of
21 a CAAPP source seeking to make a modification to a source
22 prior to the issuance of its CAAPP permit shall be
23 required to obtain a construction permit, operating
24 permit, or both as required for such modification in
25 accordance with the State permit program under subsection
SB2394 Enrolled - 2452 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (a) of Section 39 of this Act, as amended, and regulations
2 promulgated thereunder. The application for such
3 construction permit, operating permit, or both shall be
4 considered an amendment to the CAAPP application submitted
5 for such source.
6 b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall
7 continue to operate in accordance with the terms and
8 conditions of its applicable State operating permit
9 notwithstanding the expiration of the State operating
10 permit until the source's CAAPP permit has been issued.
11 c. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit
12 its initial CAAPP application to the Agency no later than
13 12 months after the effective date of the CAAPP. The
14 Agency may request submittal of initial CAAPP applications
15 during this 12-month period according to a schedule set
16 forth within Agency procedures, however, in no event shall
17 the Agency require such submittal earlier than 3 months
18 after such effective date of the CAAPP. An owner or
19 operator may voluntarily submit its initial CAAPP
20 application prior to the date required within this
21 paragraph or applicable procedures, if any, subsequent to
22 the date the Agency submits the CAAPP to USEPA for
23 approval.
24 d. The Agency shall act on initial CAAPP applications
25 in accordance with paragraph (j) of subsection 5 of this
26 Section.
SB2394 Enrolled - 2453 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 e. For purposes of this Section, the term "initial
2 CAAPP application" shall mean the first CAAPP application
3 submitted for a source existing as of the effective date
4 of the CAAPP.
5 f. The Agency shall provide owners or operators of
6 CAAPP sources with at least 3 months advance notice of the
7 date on which their applications are required to be
8 submitted. In determining which sources shall be subject
9 to early submittal, the Agency shall include among its
10 considerations the complexity of the permit application,
11 and the burden that such early submittal will have on the
12 source.
13 g. The CAAPP permit shall upon becoming effective
14 supersede the State operating permit.
15 h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
16 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
17 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
18 necessary, to implement this subsection.
19 5. Applications and Completeness.
20 a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit
21 its complete CAAPP application consistent with the Act and
22 applicable regulations.
23 b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall submit
24 a single complete CAAPP application covering all emission
25 units at that source.
SB2394 Enrolled - 2454 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 c. To be deemed complete, a CAAPP application must
2 provide all information, as requested in Agency
3 application forms, sufficient to evaluate the subject
4 source and its application and to determine all applicable
5 requirements, pursuant to the Clean Air Act, and
6 regulations thereunder, this Act and regulations
7 thereunder. Such Agency application forms shall be
8 finalized and made available prior to the date on which
9 any CAAPP application is required.
10 d. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source shall
11 submit, as part of its complete CAAPP application, a
12 compliance plan, including a schedule of compliance,
13 describing how each emission unit will comply with all

26 Agency may request additional information as needed to
SB2394 Enrolled - 2455 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 make the completeness determination. The Agency may to the
2 extent practicable provide the applicant with a reasonable
3 opportunity to correct deficiencies prior to a final
4 determination of completeness.
5 g. If after the determination of completeness the
6 Agency finds that additional information is necessary to
7 evaluate or take final action on the CAAPP application,
8 the Agency may request in writing such information from
9 the source with a reasonable deadline for response.
10 h. If the owner or operator of a CAAPP source submits a
11 timely and complete CAAPP application, the source's
12 failure to have a CAAPP permit shall not be a violation of
13 this Section until the Agency takes final action on the
14 submitted CAAPP application, provided, however, where the
15 applicant fails to submit the requested information under
16 paragraph (g) of this subsection 5 within the time frame
17 specified by the Agency, this protection shall cease to
18 apply.
19 i. Any applicant who fails to submit any relevant
20 facts necessary to evaluate the subject source and its
21 CAAPP application or who has submitted incorrect
22 information in a CAAPP application shall, upon becoming
23 aware of such failure or incorrect submittal, submit
24 supplementary facts or correct information to the Agency.
25 In addition, an applicant shall provide to the Agency
26 additional information as necessary to address any
SB2394 Enrolled - 2456 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

4 draft CAAPP permit.
5 j. The Agency shall issue or deny the CAAPP permit
6 within 18 months after the date of receipt of the complete
7 CAAPP application, with the following exceptions: (i)
8 permits for affected sources for acid deposition shall be
9 issued or denied within 6 months after receipt of a
10 complete application in accordance with subsection 17 of
11 this Section; (ii) the Agency shall act on initial CAAPP
12 applications within 24 months after the date of receipt of
13 the complete CAAPP application; (iii) the Agency shall act
14 on complete applications containing early reduction
15 demonstrations under Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air
16 Act within 9 months of receipt of the complete CAAPP
17 application.
18 Where the Agency does not take final action on the
19 permit within the required time period, the permit shall
20 not be deemed issued; rather, the failure to act shall be
21 treated as a final permit action for purposes of judicial
22 review pursuant to Sections 40.2 and 41 of this Act.
23 k. The submittal of a complete CAAPP application shall
24 not affect the requirement that any source have a
25 preconstruction permit under Title I of the Clean Air Act.
26 l. Unless a timely and complete renewal application
SB2394 Enrolled - 2457 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 has been submitted consistent with this subsection, a
2 CAAPP source operating upon the expiration of its CAAPP
3 permit shall be deemed to be operating without a CAAPP
4 permit. Such operation is prohibited under this Act.
5 m. Permits being renewed shall be subject to the same
6 procedural requirements, including those for public
7 participation and federal review and objection, that apply
8 to original permit issuance.

18 when requested by an applicant pursuant to paragraph
19 (p) of subsection 5 of this Section, a provision
20 stating that compliance with the conditions of the
21 permit shall be deemed compliance with applicable
22 requirements which are applicable as of the date of
23 release of the proposed permit, provided that:
24 A. The applicable requirement is specifically
25 identified within the permit; or
26 B. The Agency in acting on the CAAPP
SB2394 Enrolled - 2466 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 application or revision determines in writing that
2 other requirements specifically identified are not
3 applicable to the source, and the permit includes
4 that determination or a concise summary thereof.
5 ii. The permit shall identify the requirements for
6 which the source is shielded. The shield shall not
7 extend to applicable requirements which are
8 promulgated after the date of release of the proposed
9 permit unless the permit has been modified to reflect
10 such new requirements.
11 iii. A CAAPP permit which does not expressly
12 indicate the existence of a permit shield shall not
13 provide such a shield.
14 iv. Nothing in this paragraph or in a CAAPP permit
15 shall alter or affect the following:
16 A. The provisions of Section 303 (emergency
17 powers) of the Clean Air Act, including USEPA's
18 authority under that section.
19 B. The liability of an owner or operator of a

1 from a source pursuant to Section 114
2 (inspections, monitoring, and entry) of the Clean
3 Air Act.
4 k. Each CAAPP permit shall include an emergency
5 provision providing an affirmative defense of emergency to
6 an action brought for noncompliance with technology-based
7 emission limitations under a CAAPP permit if the following
8 conditions are met through properly signed,
9 contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant
10 evidence:
11 i. An emergency occurred and the permittee can
12 identify the cause(s) of the emergency.
13 ii. The permitted facility was at the time being
14 properly operated.
15 iii. The permittee submitted notice of the
16 emergency to the Agency within 2 working days after
17 the time when emission limitations were exceeded due
18 to the emergency. This notice must contain a detailed
19 description of the emergency, any steps taken to
20 mitigate emissions, and corrective actions taken.
21 iv. During the period of the emergency the
22 permittee took all reasonable steps to minimize levels
23 of emissions that exceeded the emission limitations,
24 standards, or requirements in the permit.
25 For purposes of this subsection, "emergency" means any
26 situation arising from sudden and reasonably unforeseeable
SB2394 Enrolled - 2468 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 events beyond the control of the source, such as an act of
2 God, that requires immediate corrective action to restore
3 normal operation, and that causes the source to exceed a
4 technology-based emission limitation under the permit, due
5 to unavoidable increases in emissions attributable to the
6 emergency. An emergency shall not include noncompliance to
7 the extent caused by improperly designed equipment, lack
8 of preventative maintenance, careless or improper
9 operation, or operation error.
10 In any enforcement proceeding, the permittee seeking
11 to establish the occurrence of an emergency has the burden
12 of proof. This provision is in addition to any emergency
13 or upset provision contained in any applicable
14 requirement. This provision does not relieve a permittee
15 of any reporting obligations under existing federal or
16 state laws or regulations.
17 l. The Agency shall include in each permit issued
18 under subsection 10 of this Section:
19 i. Terms and conditions for reasonably anticipated
20 operating scenarios identified by the source in its

11 requirements provide for trading of such emissions
12 increases and decreases without a case-by-case
13 approval of each emissions trade. Such terms and
14 conditions:
15 A. Shall include all terms required under this
16 subsection to determine compliance;
17 B. Must meet all applicable requirements;
18 C. Shall extend the permit shield described in
19 paragraph (j) of subsection 7 of this Section to
20 all terms and conditions that allow such increases

15 following:
16 i. Duty to comply. The permittee must comply with
17 all terms and conditions of the CAAPP permit. Any
18 permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the
19 Clean Air Act and the Act, and is grounds for any or
20 all of the following: enforcement action; permit
21 termination, revocation and reissuance, or
22 modification; or denial of a permit renewal
23 application.
24 ii. Need to halt or reduce activity not a defense.
25 It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an
26 enforcement action that it would have been necessary
SB2394 Enrolled - 2471 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to
2 maintain compliance with the conditions of this
3 permit.
4 iii. Permit actions. The permit may be modified,
5 revoked, reopened, and reissued, or terminated for
6 cause in accordance with the applicable subsections of
7 this Section 39.5 of this Act. The filing of a request
8 by the permittee for a permit modification, revocation
9 and reissuance, or termination, or of a notification
10 of planned changes or anticipated noncompliance does
11 not stay any permit condition.
12 iv. Property rights. The permit does not convey
13 any property rights of any sort, or any exclusive
14 privilege.
15 v. Duty to provide information. The permittee
16 shall furnish to the Agency within a reasonable time
17 specified by the Agency any information that the
18 Agency may request in writing to determine whether
19 cause exists for modifying, revoking and reissuing, or
20 terminating the permit or to determine compliance with
21 the permit. Upon request, the permittee shall also
22 furnish to the Agency copies of records required to be
23 kept by the permit or, for information claimed to be
24 confidential, the permittee may furnish such records
25 directly to USEPA along with a claim of
26 confidentiality.

20 contain a certification by a responsible official that
21 meets the requirements of subsection 5 of this Section
22 and applicable regulations.
23 ii. Inspection and entry requirements that
24 necessitate that, upon presentation of credentials and
25 other documents as may be required by law and in
26 accordance with constitutional limitations, the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2473 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

21 demonstrate in its CAAPP application, including an
22 application for a significant modification, that an
23 alternative emission limit would be equivalent to that
24 contained in the applicable Board regulations, the Agency
25 shall include the alternative emission limit in the CAAPP
26 permit, which shall supersede the emission limit set forth
SB2394 Enrolled - 2476 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 in the applicable Board regulations, and shall include
2 conditions that insure that the resulting emission limit

6 9. USEPA Notice and Objection.
7 a. The Agency shall provide to USEPA for its review a
8 copy of each CAAPP application (including any application
9 for permit modification), statement of basis as provided
10 in paragraph (b) of subsection 8 of this Section, proposed
11 CAAPP permit, CAAPP permit, and, if the Agency does not
12 incorporate any affected State's recommendations on a
13 proposed CAAPP permit, a written statement of this
14 decision and its reasons for not accepting the
15 recommendations, except as otherwise provided in this Act
16 or by agreement with USEPA. To the extent practicable, the
17 preceding information shall be provided in computer
18 readable format compatible with USEPA's national database
19 management system.
20 b. The Agency shall not issue the proposed CAAPP
21 permit if USEPA objects in writing within 45 days after
22 receipt of the proposed CAAPP permit and all necessary
23 supporting information.
24 c. If USEPA objects in writing to the issuance of the
25 proposed CAAPP permit within the 45-day period, the Agency
SB2394 Enrolled - 2479 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall respond in writing and may revise and resubmit the
2 proposed CAAPP permit in response to the stated objection,
3 to the extent supported by the record, within 90 days
4 after the date of the objection. Prior to submitting a
5 revised permit to USEPA, the Agency shall provide the
6 applicant and any person who participated in the public
7 comment process, pursuant to subsection 8 of this Section,
8 with a 10-day period to comment on any revision which the
9 Agency is proposing to make to the permit in response to
10 USEPA's objection in accordance with Agency procedures.
11 d. Any USEPA objection under this subsection,
12 according to the Clean Air Act, will include a statement
13 of reasons for the objection and a description of the
14 terms and conditions that must be in the permit, in order
15 to adequately respond to the objections. Grounds for a
16 USEPA objection include the failure of the Agency to: (1)
17 submit the items and notices required under this
18 subsection; (2) submit any other information necessary to
19 adequately review the proposed CAAPP permit; or (3)
20 process the permit under subsection 8 of this Section
21 except for minor permit modifications.
22 e. If USEPA does not object in writing to issuance of a
23 permit under this subsection, any person may petition
24 USEPA within 60 days after expiration of the 45-day review
25 period to make such objection.
26 f. If the permit has not yet been issued and USEPA
SB2394 Enrolled - 2480 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 objects to the permit as a result of a petition, the Agency
2 shall not issue the permit until USEPA's objection has
3 been resolved. The Agency shall provide a 10-day comment
4 period in accordance with paragraph c of this subsection.
5 A petition does not, however, stay the effectiveness of a
6 permit or its requirements if the permit was issued after
7 expiration of the 45-day review period and prior to a
8 USEPA objection.
9 g. If the Agency has issued a permit after expiration
10 of the 45-day review period and prior to receipt of a USEPA
11 objection under this subsection in response to a petition
12 submitted pursuant to paragraph e of this subsection, the
13 Agency may, upon receipt of an objection from USEPA,
14 revise and resubmit the permit to USEPA pursuant to this
15 subsection after providing a 10-day comment period in
16 accordance with paragraph c of this subsection. If the
17 Agency fails to submit a revised permit in response to the
18 objection, USEPA shall modify, terminate, or revoke the
19 permit. In any case, the source will not be in violation of
20 the requirement to have submitted a timely and complete
21 application.
22 h. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
23 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
24 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
25 necessary, to implement this subsection.

8 public notice and comment procedures. The granting of such
9 request shall not be considered a final permit action for
10 purposes of judicial review.
11 f. The Agency may not issue a general permit to cover
12 any discrete emission unit at a CAAPP source if another
13 CAAPP permit covers emission units at the source.
14 g. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
15 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
16 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
17 necessary, to implement this subsection.
18 12. Operational Flexibility.
19 a. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
20 changes at the CAAPP source without requiring a prior
21 permit revision, consistent with subparagraphs (i) through
22 (iii) of paragraph (a) of this subsection, so long as the
23 changes are not modifications under any provision of Title
24 I of the Clean Air Act and they do not exceed the emissions
25 allowable under the permit (whether expressed therein as a
SB2394 Enrolled - 2485 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 rate of emissions or in terms of total emissions),
2 provided that the owner or operator of the CAAPP source
3 provides USEPA and the Agency with written notification as
4 required below in advance of the proposed changes, which
5 shall be a minimum of 7 days, unless otherwise provided by
6 the Agency in applicable regulations regarding
7 emergencies. The owner or operator of a CAAPP source and
8 the Agency shall each attach such notice to their copy of
9 the relevant permit.
10 i. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
11 Section 502 (b) (10) changes without a permit

13 any provision of Title I of the Clean Air Act and the
14 changes do not exceed the emissions allowable under
15 the permit (whether expressed therein as a rate of
16 emissions or in terms of total emissions).
17 A. For each such change, the written
18 notification required above shall include a brief
19 description of the change within the source, the
20 date on which the change will occur, any change in
21 emissions, and any permit term or condition that
22 is no longer applicable as a result of the change.

4 provides for such emission trades without requiring a
5 permit revision. This provision is available in those
6 cases where the permit does not already provide for
7 such emissions trading.
8 A. Under this subparagraph (ii) of paragraph
9 (a) of this subsection, the written notification
10 required above shall include such information as
11 may be required by the provision in the applicable
12 implementation plan authorizing the emissions
13 trade, including, at a minimum, when the proposed
14 changes will occur, a description of each such
15 change, any change in emissions, the permit
16 requirements with which the source will comply
17 using the emissions trading provisions of the
18 applicable implementation plan, and the pollutants
19 emitted subject to the emissions trade. The notice

8 Agency shall issue a CAAPP permit which contains terms
9 and conditions, including all terms required under
10 subsection 7 of this Section to determine compliance,
11 allowing for the trading of emissions increases and
12 decreases at the CAAPP source solely for the purpose
13 of complying with a federally enforceable
14 federally-enforceable emissions cap that is
15 established in the permit independent of otherwise
16 applicable requirements. The owner or operator of a
17 CAAPP source shall include in its CAAPP application
18 proposed replicable procedures and permit terms that
19 ensure the emissions trades are quantifiable and
20 enforceable. The permit shall also require compliance
21 with all applicable requirements.
22 A. Under this subparagraph (iii) of paragraph
23 (a), the written notification required above shall
24 state when the change will occur and shall
25 describe the changes in emissions that will result
26 and how these increases and decreases in emissions
SB2394 Enrolled - 2488 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 will comply with the terms and conditions of the
2 permit.
3 B. The permit shield described in paragraph
4 (j) of subsection 7 of this Section shall extend
5 to terms and conditions that allow such increases
6 and decreases in emissions.
7 b. An owner or operator of a CAAPP source may make
8 changes that are not addressed or prohibited by the
9 permit, other than those which are subject to any
10 requirements under Title IV of the Clean Air Act or are
11 modifications under any provisions of Title I of the Clean
12 Air Act, without a permit revision, in accordance with the
13 following requirements:
14 (i) Each such change shall meet all applicable
15 requirements and shall not violate any existing permit
16 term or condition;
17 (ii) Sources must provide contemporaneous written
18 notice to the Agency and USEPA of each such change,
19 except for changes that qualify as insignificant under
20 provisions adopted by the Agency or the Board. Such
21 written notice shall describe each such change,
22 including the date, any change in emissions,
23 pollutants emitted, and any applicable requirement
24 that would apply as a result of the change;
25 (iii) The change shall not qualify for the shield
26 described in paragraph (j) of subsection 7 of this
SB2394 Enrolled - 2489 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Section; and
2 (iv) The permittee shall keep a record describing
3 changes made at the source that result in emissions of
4 a regulated air pollutant subject to an applicable
5 Clean Air Act requirement, but not otherwise regulated
6 under the permit, and the emissions resulting from
7 those changes.
8 c. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
9 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
10 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
11 necessary to implement this subsection.
12 13. Administrative Permit Amendments.
13 a. The Agency shall take final action on a request for
14 an administrative permit amendment within 60 days after
15 receipt of the request. Neither notice nor an opportunity

17 for the Agency to incorporate such revisions, provided it
18 designates the permit revisions as having been made
19 pursuant to this subsection.
20 b. The Agency shall submit a copy of the revised
21 permit to USEPA.
22 c. For purposes of this Section the term
23 "administrative permit amendment" shall be defined as a
24 permit revision that can accomplish one or more of the
25 changes described below:
SB2394 Enrolled - 2490 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 i. Corrects typographical errors;
2 ii. Identifies a change in the name, address, or
3 phone number of any person identified in the permit,
4 or provides a similar minor administrative change at
5 the source;
6 iii. Requires more frequent monitoring or
7 reporting by the permittee;
8 iv. Allows for a change in ownership or
9 operational control of a source where the Agency
10 determines that no other change in the permit is
11 necessary, provided that a written agreement
12 containing a specific date for transfer of permit
13 responsibility, coverage, and liability between the
14 current and new permittees has been submitted to the
15 Agency;
16 v. Incorporates into the CAAPP permit the
17 requirements from preconstruction review permits
18 authorized under a USEPA-approved program, provided
19 the program meets procedural and compliance
20 requirements substantially equivalent to those
21 contained in this Section;
22 vi. (Blank); or
23 vii. Any other type of change which USEPA has
24 determined as part of the approved CAAPP permit
25 program to be similar to those included in this

SB2394 Enrolled - 2492 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 a. Minor permit modification procedures.
2 i. The Agency shall review a permit modification
3 using the "minor permit" modification procedures only
4 for those permit modifications that:
5 A. Do not violate any applicable requirement;
6 B. Do not involve significant changes to
7 existing monitoring, reporting, or recordkeeping
8 requirements in the permit;
9 C. Do not require a case-by-case determination
10 of an emission limitation or other standard, or a
11 source-specific determination of ambient impacts,
12 or a visibility or increment analysis;
13 D. Do not seek to establish or change a permit
14 term or condition for which there is no
15 corresponding underlying requirement and which
16 avoids an applicable requirement to which the
17 source would otherwise be subject. Such terms and
18 conditions include:
19 1. A federally enforceable emissions cap
20 assumed to avoid classification as a
21 modification under any provision of Title I of
22 the Clean Air Act; and
23 2. An alternative emissions limit approved
24 pursuant to regulations promulgated under
25 Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act;
26 E. Are not modifications under any provision
SB2394 Enrolled - 2493 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 of Title I of the Clean Air Act; and
2 F. Are not required to be processed as a
3 significant modification.
4 ii. Notwithstanding subparagraph (i) of paragraph
5 (a) and subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this
6 subsection, minor permit modification procedures may
7 be used for permit modifications involving the use of
8 economic incentives, marketable permits, emissions
9 trading, and other similar approaches, to the extent
10 that such minor permit modification procedures are
11 explicitly provided for in an applicable
12 implementation plan or in applicable requirements
13 promulgated by USEPA.
14 iii. An applicant requesting the use of minor
15 permit modification procedures shall meet the
16 requirements of subsection 5 of this Section and shall
17 include the following in its application:
18 A. A description of the change, the emissions
19 resulting from the change, and any new applicable
20 requirements that will apply if the change occurs;
21 B. The source's suggested draft permit;
22 C. Certification by a responsible official,
23 consistent with paragraph (e) of subsection 5 of
24 this Section and applicable regulations, that the

11 paragraph (d) of subsection 8 of this Section to
12 USEPA.
13 v. The Agency may not issue a final permit
14 modification until after the 45-day review period for
15 USEPA or until USEPA has notified the Agency that
16 USEPA will not object to the issuance of the permit
17 modification, whichever comes first, although the
18 Agency can approve the permit modification prior to
19 that time. Within 90 days after the Agency's receipt
20 of an application under the minor permit modification
21 procedures or 15 days after the end of USEPA's 45-day
22 review period under subsection 9 of this Section,
23 whichever is later, the Agency shall:
24 A. Issue the permit modification as proposed;
25 B. Deny the permit modification application;
26 C. Determine that the requested modification
SB2394 Enrolled - 2495 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 does not meet the minor permit modification
2 criteria and should be reviewed under the
3 significant modification procedures; or
4 D. Revise the draft permit modification and
5 transmit to USEPA the new proposed permit
6 modification as required by subsection 9 of this
7 Section.
8 vi. Any CAAPP source may make the change proposed
9 in its minor permit modification application
10 immediately after it files such application. After the
11 CAAPP source makes the change allowed by the preceding
12 sentence, and until the Agency takes any of the
13 actions specified in items (A) through (C) of
14 subparagraph (v) of paragraph (a) of this subsection,
15 the source must comply with both the applicable
16 requirements governing the change and the proposed
17 permit terms and conditions. During this time period,
18 the source need not comply with the existing permit
19 terms and conditions it seeks to modify. If the source
20 fails to comply with its proposed permit terms and
21 conditions during this time period, the existing
22 permit terms and conditions which it seeks to modify
23 may be enforced against it.
24 vii. The permit shield under paragraph (j) of
25 subsection 7 of this Section may not extend to minor
26 permit modifications.
SB2394 Enrolled - 2496 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 viii. If a construction permit is required,
2 pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 39 of this Act
3 and regulations thereunder, for a change for which the
4 minor permit modification procedures are applicable,
5 the source may request that the processing of the
6 construction permit application be consolidated with
7 the processing of the application for the minor permit
8 modification. In such cases, the provisions of this
9 Section, including those within subsections 5, 8, and
10 9, shall apply and the Agency shall act on such
11 applications pursuant to subparagraph (v) of paragraph
12 (a) of subsection 14 of this Section. The source may
13 make the proposed change immediately after filing its
14 application for the minor permit modification. Nothing
15 in this subparagraph shall otherwise affect the
16 requirements and procedures applicable to construction
17 permits.
18 b. Group Processing of Minor Permit Modifications.
19 i. Where requested by an applicant within its
20 application, the Agency shall process groups of a
21 source's applications for certain modifications
22 eligible for minor permit modification processing in
23 accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b).
24 ii. Permit modifications may be processed in
25 accordance with the procedures for group processing,
26 for those modifications:
SB2394 Enrolled - 2497 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

16 resulting from the change, and any new applicable
17 requirements that will apply if the change occurs.
18 B. The source's suggested draft permit.
19 C. Certification by a responsible official
20 consistent with paragraph (e) of subsection 5 of
21 this Section, that the proposed modification meets
22 the criteria for use of group processing
23 procedures and a request that such procedures be
24 used.
25 D. A list of the source's other pending
26 applications awaiting group processing, and a
SB2394 Enrolled - 2498 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 determination of whether the requested
2 modification, aggregated with these other
3 applications, equals or exceeds the threshold set

16 aggregate of a source's pending applications equals or
17 exceeds the threshold level set forth within item (B)
18 of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this
19 subsection, whichever is earlier, the Agency shall
20 promptly notify USEPA and affected States of the

23 send any notice required under paragraph (d) of
24 subsection 8 of this Section to USEPA.
25 v. The provisions of subparagraph (v) of paragraph
26 (a) of this subsection shall apply to modifications

15 i. Significant modification procedures shall be
16 used for applications requesting significant permit
17 modifications and for those applications that do not
18 qualify as either minor permit modifications or as
19 administrative permit amendments.
20 ii. Every significant change in existing
21 monitoring permit terms or conditions and every
22 relaxation of reporting or recordkeeping requirements
23 shall be considered significant. A modification shall
24 also be considered significant if in the judgment of
25 the Agency action on an application for modification
26 would require decisions to be made on technically
SB2394 Enrolled - 2500 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 complex issues. Nothing herein shall be construed to
2 preclude the permittee from making changes consistent
3 with this Section that would render existing permit
4 compliance terms and conditions irrelevant.
5 iii. Significant permit modifications must meet
6 all the requirements of this Section, including those
7 for applications (including completeness review),
8 public participation, review by affected States, and
9 review by USEPA applicable to initial permit issuance
10 and permit renewal. The Agency shall take final action
11 on significant permit modifications within 9 months
12 after receipt of a complete application.
13 d. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
14 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois

18 a. Each issued CAAPP permit shall include provisions
19 specifying the conditions under which the permit will be
20 reopened prior to the expiration of the permit. Such
21 revisions shall be made as expeditiously as practicable. A
22 CAAPP permit shall be reopened and revised under any of
23 the following circumstances, in accordance with procedures
24 adopted by the Agency:
25 i. Additional requirements under the Clean Air Act
SB2394 Enrolled - 2501 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 become applicable to a major CAAPP source for which 3
2 or more years remain on the original term of the
3 permit. Such a reopening shall be completed not later
4 than 18 months after the promulgation of the
5 applicable requirement. No such revision is required
6 if the effective date of the requirement is later than
7 the date on which the permit is due to expire.
8 ii. Additional requirements (including excess
9 emissions requirements) become applicable to an
10 affected source for acid deposition under the acid
11 rain program. Excess emissions offset plans shall be
12 deemed to be incorporated into the permit upon
13 approval by USEPA.
14 iii. The Agency or USEPA determines that the
15 permit contains a material mistake or that inaccurate
16 statements were made in establishing the emissions
17 standards, limitations, or other terms or conditions
18 of the permit.
19 iv. The Agency or USEPA determines that the permit
20 must be revised or revoked to assure compliance with
21 the applicable requirements.
22 b. In the event that the Agency determines that there
23 are grounds for revoking a CAAPP permit, for cause,
24 consistent with paragraph a of this subsection, it shall
25 file a petition before the Board setting forth the basis
26 for such revocation. In any such proceeding, the Agency
SB2394 Enrolled - 2502 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall have the burden of establishing that the permit
2 should be revoked under the standards set forth in this
3 Act and the Clean Air Act. Any such proceeding shall be
4 conducted pursuant to the Board's procedures for
5 adjudicatory hearings and the Board shall render its
6 decision within 120 days of the filing of the petition.
7 The Agency shall take final action to revoke and reissue a
8 CAAPP permit consistent with the Board's order.
9 c. Proceedings regarding a reopened CAAPP permit shall
10 follow the same procedures as apply to initial permit
11 issuance and shall affect only those parts of the permit
12 for which cause to reopen exists.
13 d. Reopenings under paragraph (a) of this subsection
14 shall not be initiated before a notice of such intent is
15 provided to the CAAPP source by the Agency at least 30 days
16 in advance of the date that the permit is to be reopened,
17 except that the Agency may provide a shorter time period
18 in the case of an emergency.
19 e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
20 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
21 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
22 necessary, to implement this subsection.

24 a. When USEPA finds that cause exists to terminate,
25 modify, or revoke and reissue a CAAPP permit pursuant to
SB2394 Enrolled - 2503 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 subsection 15 of this Section, and thereafter notifies the
2 Agency and the permittee of such finding in writing, the
3 Agency shall forward to USEPA and the permittee a proposed
4 determination of termination, modification, or revocation
5 and reissuance as appropriate, in accordance with
6 paragraph (b) of this subsection. The Agency's proposed
7 determination shall be in accordance with the record, the
8 Clean Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this
9 Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such proposed
10 determination shall not affect the permit or constitute a
11 final permit action for purposes of this Act or the
12 Administrative Review Law. The Agency shall forward to
13 USEPA such proposed determination within 90 days after
14 receipt of the notification from USEPA. If additional time
15 is necessary to submit the proposed determination, the
16 Agency shall request a 90-day extension from USEPA and
17 shall submit the proposed determination within 180 days
18 after receipt of notification from USEPA.
19 b. i. Prior to the Agency's submittal to USEPA of a
20 proposed determination to terminate or revoke and

2 ii. After due consideration of the written and
3 oral statements, the testimony and arguments that
4 shall be submitted at hearing, the Board shall issue
5 and enter an interim order for the proposed
6 determination, which shall set forth all changes, if
7 any, required in the Agency's proposed determination.
8 The interim order shall comply with the requirements
9 for final orders as set forth in Section 33 of this
10 Act. Issuance of an interim order by the Board under
11 this paragraph, however, shall not affect the permit
12 status and does not constitute a final action for
13 purposes of this Act or the Administrative Review Law.
14 iii. The Board shall cause a copy of its interim
15 order to be served upon all parties to the proceeding
16 as well as upon USEPA. The Agency shall submit the
17 proposed determination to USEPA in accordance with the
18 Board's Interim Order within 180 days after receipt of
19 the notification from USEPA.
20 c. USEPA shall review the proposed determination to
21 terminate, modify, or revoke and reissue the permit within
22 90 days after receipt.
23 i. When USEPA reviews the proposed determination
24 to terminate or revoke and reissue and does not
25 object, the Board shall, within 7 days after receipt
26 of USEPA's final approval, enter the interim order as
SB2394 Enrolled - 2505 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 a final order. The final order may be appealed as
2 provided by Title XI of this Act. The Agency shall take
3 final action in accordance with the Board's final
4 order.
5 ii. When USEPA reviews such proposed determination
6 to terminate or revoke and reissue and objects, the
7 Agency shall submit USEPA's objection and the Agency's
8 comments and recommendation on the objection to the
9 Board and permittee. The Board shall review its
10 interim order in response to USEPA's objection and the
11 Agency's comments and recommendation and issue a final
12 order in accordance with Sections 32 and 33 of this
13 Act. The Agency shall, within 90 days after receipt of
14 such objection, respond to USEPA's objection in
15 accordance with the Board's final order.
16 iii. When USEPA reviews such proposed
17 determination to modify and objects, the Agency shall,
18 within 90 days after receipt of the objection, resolve
19 the objection and modify the permit in accordance with
20 USEPA's objection, based upon the record, the Clean
21 Air Act, regulations promulgated thereunder, this Act,
22 and regulations promulgated thereunder.
23 d. If the Agency fails to submit the proposed
24 determination pursuant to paragraph a of this subsection
25 or fails to resolve any USEPA objection pursuant to
26 paragraph c of this subsection, USEPA will terminate,
SB2394 Enrolled - 2506 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 modify, or revoke and reissue the permit.
2 e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt

19 a. A source subject to this Section or excluded under
20 subsection 1.1 or paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this
21 Section, shall pay a fee as provided in this paragraph (a)
22 of subsection 18. However, a source that has been excluded
23 from the provisions of this Section under subsection 1.1
24 or under paragraph (c) of subsection 3 of this Section
25 because the source emits less than 25 tons per year of any
SB2394 Enrolled - 2512 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 combination of regulated air pollutants, except greenhouse
2 gases, shall pay fees in accordance with paragraph (1) of
3 subsection (b) of Section 9.6.
4 i. The fee for a source allowed to emit less than
5 100 tons per year of any combination of regulated air
6 pollutants, except greenhouse gases, shall be $1,800
7 per year, and that fee shall increase, beginning
8 January 1, 2012, to $2,150 per year.
9 ii. The fee for a source allowed to emit 100 tons
10 or more per year of any combination of regulated air
11 pollutants, except greenhouse gases and those
12 regulated air pollutants excluded in paragraph (f) of
13 this subsection 18, shall be as follows:
14 A. The Agency shall assess a fee of $18 per
15 ton, per year for the allowable emissions of
16 regulated air pollutants subject to this
17 subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of subsection
18 18, and that fee shall increase, beginning January
19 1, 2012, to $21.50 per ton, per year. These fees
20 shall be used by the Agency and the Board to fund
21 the activities required by Title V of the Clean
22 Air Act including such activities as may be
23 carried out by other State or local agencies
24 pursuant to paragraph (d) of this subsection. The
25 amount of such fee shall be based on the
26 information supplied by the applicant in its
SB2394 Enrolled - 2513 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 complete CAAPP permit application or in the CAAPP
2 permit if the permit has been granted and shall be
3 determined by the amount of emissions that the
4 source is allowed to emit annually, provided
5 however, that the maximum fee for a CAAPP permit
6 under this subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of
7 subsection 18 is $250,000, and increases,
8 beginning January 1, 2012, to $294,000. Beginning
9 January 1, 2012, the maximum fee under this
10 subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (a) of subsection
11 18 for a source that has been excluded under
12 subsection 1.1 of this Section or under paragraph
13 (c) of subsection 3 of this Section is $4,112. The
14 Agency shall provide as part of the permit
15 application form required under subsection 5 of
16 this Section a separate fee calculation form which
17 will allow the applicant to identify the allowable
18 emissions and calculate the fee. In no event shall
19 the Agency raise the amount of allowable emissions
20 requested by the applicant unless such increases
21 are required to demonstrate compliance with terms
22 of a CAAPP permit.
23 Notwithstanding the above, any applicant may
24 seek a change in its permit which would result in
25 increases in allowable emissions due to an
26 increase in the hours of operation or production
SB2394 Enrolled - 2514 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 rates of an emission unit or units and such a
2 change shall be consistent with the construction
3 permit requirements of the existing State permit
4 program, under subsection (a) of Section 39 of
5 this Act and applicable provisions of this
6 Section. Where a construction permit is required,
7 the Agency shall expeditiously grant such
8 construction permit and shall, if necessary,
9 modify the CAAPP permit based on the same
10 application.
11 B. The applicant or permittee may pay the fee
12 annually or semiannually for those fees greater
13 than $5,000. However, any applicant paying a fee
14 equal to or greater than $100,000 shall pay the
15 full amount on July 1, for the subsequent fiscal
16 year, or pay 50% of the fee on July 1 and the
17 remaining 50% by the next January 1. The Agency
18 may change any annual billing date upon reasonable
19 notice, but shall prorate the new bill so that the
20 permittee or applicant does not pay more than its
21 required fees for the fee period for which payment
22 is made.
23 b. (Blank).
24 c. (Blank).
25 d. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a
26 special fund to be known as the Clean Air Act Permit Fund
SB2394 Enrolled - 2515 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (formerly known as the CAA Permit Fund). All Funds
2 collected by the Agency pursuant to this subsection shall
3 be deposited into the Fund. The General Assembly shall
4 appropriate monies from this Fund to the Agency and to the
5 Board to carry out their obligations under this Section.
6 The General Assembly may also authorize monies to be
7 granted by the Agency from this Fund to other State and
8 local agencies which perform duties related to the CAAPP.
9 Interest generated on the monies deposited in this Fund
10 shall be returned to the Fund.
11 e. The Agency shall have the authority to adopt
12 procedural rules, in accordance with the Illinois
13 Administrative Procedure Act, as the Agency deems
14 necessary to implement this subsection.
15 f. For purposes of this subsection, the term
16 "regulated air pollutant" shall have the meaning given to
17 it under subsection 1 of this Section but shall exclude
18 the following:
19 i. carbon monoxide;
20 ii. any Class I or II substance which is a
21 regulated air pollutant solely because it is listed
22 pursuant to Section 602 of the Clean Air Act; and
23 iii. any pollutant that is a regulated air
24 pollutant solely because it is subject to a standard
25 or regulation under Section 112(r) of the Clean Air
26 Act based on the emissions allowed in the permit
SB2394 Enrolled - 2516 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

3 19. Air Toxics Provisions.
4 a. In the event that the USEPA fails to promulgate in a
5 timely manner a standard pursuant to Section 112(d) of the
6 Clean Air Act, the Agency shall have the authority to
7 issue permits, pursuant to Section 112(j) of the Clean Air
8 Act and regulations promulgated thereunder, which contain
9 emission limitations which are equivalent to the emission
10 limitations that would apply to a source if an emission
11 standard had been promulgated in a timely manner by USEPA
12 pursuant to Section 112(d). Provided, however, that the
13 owner or operator of a source shall have the opportunity
14 to submit to the Agency a proposed emission limitation
15 which it determines to be equivalent to the emission
16 limitations that would apply to such source if an emission
17 standard had been promulgated in a timely manner by USEPA.
18 If the Agency refuses to include the emission limitation
19 proposed by the owner or operator in a CAAPP permit, the
20 owner or operator may petition the Board to establish
21 whether the emission limitation proposal submitted by the
22 owner or operator provides for emission limitations which
23 are equivalent to the emission limitations that would
24 apply to the source if the emission standard had been
25 promulgated by USEPA in a timely manner. The Board shall
SB2394 Enrolled - 2517 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 determine whether the emission limitation proposed by the
2 owner or operator or an alternative emission limitation
3 proposed by the Agency provides for the level of control
4 required under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, or shall
5 otherwise establish an appropriate emission limitation,
6 pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act.
7 b. Any Board proceeding brought under paragraph (a) or
8 (e) of this subsection shall be conducted according to the
9 Board's procedures for adjudicatory hearings and the Board
10 shall render its decision within 120 days of the filing of
11 the petition. Any such decision shall be subject to review
12 pursuant to Section 41 of this Act. Where USEPA
13 promulgates an applicable emission standard prior to the
14 issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall include in
15 the permit the promulgated standard, provided that the
16 source shall have the compliance period provided under
17 Section 112(i) of the Clean Air Act. Where USEPA
18 promulgates an applicable standard subsequent to the
19 issuance of the CAAPP permit, the Agency shall revise such
20 permit upon the next renewal to reflect the promulgated
21 standard, providing a reasonable time for the applicable
22 source to comply with the standard, but no longer than 8
23 years after the date on which the source is first required
24 to comply with the emissions limitation established under
25 this subsection.
26 c. The Agency shall have the authority to implement
SB2394 Enrolled - 2518 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 and enforce complete or partial emission standards
2 promulgated by USEPA pursuant to Section 112(d), and
3 standards promulgated by USEPA pursuant to Sections
4 112(f), 112(h), 112(m), and 112(n), and may accept
5 delegation of authority from USEPA to implement and
6 enforce Section 112(l) and requirements for the prevention
7 and detection of accidental releases pursuant to Section
8 112(r) of the Clean Air Act.
9 d. The Agency shall have the authority to issue
10 permits pursuant to Section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air
11 Act.
12 e. The Agency has the authority to implement Section
13 112(g) of the Clean Air Act consistent with the Clean Air
14 Act and federal regulations promulgated thereunder. If the
15 Agency refuses to include the emission limitations
16 proposed in an application submitted by an owner or
17 operator for a case-by-case maximum achievable control
18 technology (MACT) determination, the owner or operator may
19 petition the Board to determine whether the emission
20 limitation proposed by the owner or operator or an
21 alternative emission limitation proposed by the Agency
22 provides for a level of control required by Section 112 of
23 the Clean Air Act, or to otherwise establish an
24 appropriate emission limitation under Section 112 of the
25 Clean Air Act.

12 (a) Notwithstanding the eligibility or the level of
13 deductibility of an owner or operator under the Underground
14 Storage Tank Fund, any owner or operator of an Underground
15 Storage Tank may seek to remove or abandon such tank under the
16 provisions of this Title. In order to be reimbursed under
17 Section 57.8, the owner or operator must comply with the
18 provisions of this Title. In no event will an owner or operator
19 be reimbursed for any costs which exceed the minimum
20 requirements necessary to comply with this Title.
21 (b) Removal or abandonment of an Underground Storage Tank
22 must be carried out in accordance with regulations adopted by
23 the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
24 (c) The Office of the State Fire Marshal or a designated
SB2394 Enrolled - 2524 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 agent shall have an inspector on site at the time of removal,
2 abandonment, or such other times the Office of State Fire
3 Marshal deems appropriate. At such time, the inspector shall,
4 upon preliminary excavation of the tank site, render an
5 opinion as to whether a release of petroleum has occurred and,
6 if so, the owner or operator shall report the known or
7 suspected release to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.
8 The owner or operator shall determine whether or not a release
9 has occurred in conformance with the regulations adopted by
10 the Board and the Office of the State Fire Marshal. Except that
11 if the opinion of the Office of the State Fire Marshal
12 inspector is that a release of petroleum has occurred and the
13 owner or operator has reported the release to the Illinois
14 Emergency Management Agency within 24 hours of removal of the
15 tank, no such determination is required under this subsection.
16 In the event the owner or operator confirms the presence of a
17 release of petroleum, the owner or operator shall comply with
18 Section 57.6. The inspector shall provide the owner or
19 operator, or a designated agent, with an "Eligibility and
20 Deductibility Determination" form. The Office of the State
21 Fire Marshal shall provide on-site assistance to the owner or
22 operator or a designated agent with regard to the eligibility
23 and deductibility procedures as provided in Section 57.9. If
24 the Office of the State Fire Marshal is not on site, the Office
25 of the State Fire Marshal shall provide the owner or operator
26 with an "Eligibility and Deductibility Determination" form
SB2394 Enrolled - 2525 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 within 15 days after receiving notice that the confirmed
2 release was reported by the owner or operator.
3 (d) In the event that a release of petroleum is confirmed
4 under subsection (c) of this Section, the owner or operator
5 may elect to backfill the preliminary excavation and proceed
6 under Section 57.6.
7 (e) In the event that an Underground Storage Tank is found
8 to be ineligible for payment from the Underground Storage Tank
9 Fund, the owner or operator shall proceed under Sections 57.6
10 and 57.7.
11 (f) In the event that no release of petroleum is
12 confirmed, the owner or operator shall proceed to complete the
13 removal of the underground storage tank, and when appropriate,
14 dispose of the tank and backfill the excavation or, in the
15 alternate, abandon the underground storage tank in place.
16 Either option shall be in accordance with regulations adopted
17 by the Office of the State Fire Marshal. The owner or operator
18 shall certify to the Office of the State Fire Marshal that the
19 tank removal or abandonment was conducted in accordance with
20 all applicable rules and regulations, and the Office of the
21 State Fire Marshal shall then issue a certificate of removal
22 or abandonment to the owner or operator. If the Office of the
23 State Fire Marshal fails to issue a certificate of removal or
24 abandonment within 30 days of receipt of the certification,
25 the certification shall be considered rejected by operation of
26 law and a final action appealable to the Board. Nothing in this
SB2394 Enrolled - 2526 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Title shall prohibit the Office of the State Fire Marshal from
2 making an independent inspection of the site and challenging
3 the veracity of the owner or operator certification.
4 (g) The owner or operator of an underground storage tank
5 taken out of operation before January 2, 1974, or an
6 underground storage tank used exclusively to store heating oil
7 for consumptive use on the premises where stored and which
8 serves other than a farm or residential unit shall not be
9 required to remove or abandon in place such underground
10 storage tank except in the case in which the Office of the
11 State Fire Marshal has determined that a release from the
12 underground storage tank poses a current or potential threat
13 to human health and the environment. In that case, and upon
14 receipt of an order from the Office of the State Fire Marshal,
15 the owner or operator of such underground storage tank shall
16 conduct removal and, if necessary, site investigation and
17 corrective action in accordance with this Title and
18 regulations promulgated by the Office of the State Fire
19 Marshal and the Board.
20 (h) In the event that a release of petroleum occurred
21 between September 13, 1993, and August 1, 1994, for which the
22 Office of the State Fire Marshal issued a certificate of
23 removal or abandonment based on its determination of "no
24 release" or "minor release," and the Office of the State Fire
25 Marshal subsequently has rescinded that determination and
26 required a report of a confirmed release to the Illinois
SB2394 Enrolled - 2527 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

8 (1) In the case of any approved plan and budget for
9 which payment is being sought, the Agency shall make a
10 payment determination within 120 days of receipt of the
11 application. Such determination shall be considered a
12 final decision. The Agency's review shall be limited to
13 generally accepted auditing and accounting practices. In
14 no case shall the Agency conduct additional review of any
15 plan which was completed within the budget, beyond
16 auditing for adherence to the corrective action measures
17 in the proposal. If the Agency fails to approve the
18 payment application within 120 days, such application
19 shall be deemed approved by operation of law and the
20 Agency shall proceed to reimburse the owner or operator
21 the amount requested in the payment application. However,
22 in no event shall the Agency reimburse the owner or
23 operator an amount greater than the amount approved in the
24 plan.

4 (3) In the case of insufficient funds, the Agency
5 shall form a priority list for payment and shall notify
6 persons in such priority list monthly of the availability
7 of funds and when payment shall be made. Payment shall be
8 made to the owner or operator at such time as sufficient
9 funds become available for the costs associated with site
10 investigation and corrective action and costs expended for
11 activities performed where no proposal is required, if
12 applicable. Such priority list shall be available to any
13 owner or operator upon request. Priority for payment shall
14 be determined by the date the Agency receives a complete
15 request for partial or final payment. Upon receipt of
16 notification from the Agency that the requirements of this
17 Title have been met, the Comptroller shall make payment to
18 the owner or operator of the amount approved by the
19 Agency, if sufficient money exists in the Fund. If there
20 is insufficient money in the Fund, then payment shall not
21 be made. If the owner or operator appeals a final Agency
22 payment determination and it is determined that the owner
23 or operator is eligible for payment or additional payment,
24 the priority date for the payment or additional payment
25 shall be the same as the priority date assigned to the
26 original request for partial or final payment.

10 contain such covenants and restrictions upon the issuance of
11 additional revenue bonds thereafter as may be deemed necessary
12 or advisable for the assurance of the payment of the bonds
13 thereby authorized. Revenue bonds issued under the provisions
14 of this Division of this Article shall be payable solely from
15 the revenue derived from such bridge, and such bonds shall
16 not, in any event constitute or be deemed an indebtedness of
17 such county within the meaning of any constitutional
18 provisions or statutory limitation as to debt, and it shall be
19 plainly stated on the face of each bond that it does not
20 constitute an indebtedness within any constitutional or
21 statutory limitation. Such ordinance shall be published within
22 30 days after its passage in a newspaper, published and having
23 a general circulation in such county, and shall not become
24 effective until 10 days after its publication.

8 with this Section and Sections 4-201 and 4-202 of this Code, or
9 at the request of the vehicle owner or operator, shall be
10 subject to a possessor lien for services pursuant to the Labor

12 1 of that Act relating to notice and implied consent shall be
13 deemed satisfied by compliance with Section 18a-302 and
14 subsection (6) of Section 18a-300. In no event shall such lien
15 be greater than the rate or rates established in accordance
16 with subsection (6) of Section 18a-200 of this Code. In no
17 event shall such lien be increased or altered to reflect any
18 charge for services or materials rendered in addition to those
19 authorized by this Code. Every such lien shall be payable in
20 cash or by cashier's check, certified check, debit card,
21 credit card, or wire transfer, at the option of the party
22 taking possession of the vehicle.
23 (4) Any personal property belonging to the vehicle owner
24 in a vehicle subject to a lien under this subsection (g) shall
25 likewise be subject to that lien, excepting only: child
26 restraint systems as defined in Section 4 of the Child

11 adequate proof that the personal property belongs to that
12 person. The spouse, child, mother, father, brother, or sister
13 of the vehicle owner may claim personal property excepted
14 under this paragraph (4) if the person claiming the personal
15 property provides the commercial vehicle relocator or towing
16 service with the authorization of the vehicle owner.
17 (5) This paragraph (5) applies only in the case of a
18 vehicle that is towed as a result of being involved in a crash.
19 In addition to the personal property excepted under paragraph
20 (4), all other personal property in a vehicle subject to a lien
21 under this subsection (g) is exempt from that lien and may be
22 claimed by the vehicle owner if the vehicle owner provides the
23 commercial vehicle relocator or towing service with proof that
24 the vehicle owner has an insurance policy covering towing and
25 storage fees. The spouse, child, mother, father, brother, or

5 insurance policy covering towing and storage fees. The
6 regulation of liens on personal property and exceptions to
7 those liens in the case of vehicles towed as a result of being
8 involved in a crash are exclusive powers and functions of the
9 State. A home rule unit may not regulate liens on personal
10 property and exceptions to those liens in the case of vehicles
11 towed as a result of being involved in a crash. This paragraph
12 (5) is a denial and limitation of home rule powers and
13 functions under subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of
14 the Illinois Constitution.
15 (6) No lien under this subsection (g) shall: exceed $2,000
16 in its total amount; or be increased or altered to reflect any

23 officer may have the vehicle which the person was operating at
24 the time of the arrest impounded for a period of 5 days after

5 paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 11-503 of this
6 Code was not authorized by the registered owner of the
7 vehicle to operate the vehicle at the time of the
8 violation; or
9 (3) if the registered owner of the vehicle was neither
10 the driver nor a passenger in the vehicle at the time of
11 the violation or was unaware that the driver was using the
12 vehicle to engage in street racing, street sideshow, or
13 reckless driving; or
14 (4) if the legal owner or registered owner of the
15 vehicle is a rental car agency; or
16 (5) if, prior to the expiration of the impoundment
17 period specified above, the citation is dismissed or the
18 defendant is found not guilty of the offense.
19 (i) Except for vehicles exempted under subsection (b) of

21 issues a citation to a driver for a violation of Section 3-707

1 person has indicated in a timely filed report to the
2 appropriate law enforcement agency that a vehicle towed
3 pursuant to this Section has been stolen or hijacked then:
4 (1) the person shall not be liable for any
5 governmentally imposed fees, fines, or penalties; and
6 (2) if a vehicle towed pursuant to this Section is
7 registered in Illinois and the name and address of the
8 registered owner of the vehicle is provided or made
9 available to the towing service at the time of the tow,
10 then the towing service must provide written notice of the
11 tow to the registered owner within 2 business days after
12 the vehicle is towed by certified mail, return receipt

14 is reclaimed by paying recovery and towing charges at the
15 posted rates of the towing service as provided by
16 paragraph 6 of subsection (f) within 7 days after such
17 notice is mailed. If the vehicle is registered in a state
18 other than Illinois, then no storage charges shall accrue

6 (a) No person, other than a licensed new vehicle dealer,
7 shall engage in the business of selling or dealing in, on

16 so by the Secretary of State under the provisions of this
17 Section.
18 (b) An application for a used vehicle dealer's license

20 oath, in such form as the Secretary of State may by rule or
21 regulation prescribe and shall contain:
22 1. The name and type of business organization

24 this State.
25 2. If the applicant is a corporation, a list of its
SB2394 Enrolled - 2646 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

5 unincorporated association, a trust, or any similar form

8 director, trustee, or manager.
9 3. A statement that the applicant has been approved
10 for registration under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
11 by the Department of Revenue. However, this requirement
12 does not apply to a dealer who is already licensed
13 hereunder with the Secretary of State, and who is merely
14 applying for a renewal of his license. As evidence of this
15 fact, the application shall be accompanied by a
16 certification from the Department of Revenue showing that
17 the Department has approved the applicant for registration
18 under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.
19 4. A statement that the applicant has complied with
20 the appropriate liability insurance requirement. A

23 with each application covering each location at which he
24 proposes to act as a used vehicle dealer. The policy must
25 provide liability coverage in the minimum amounts of

4 December 31 of the year for which the license was issued or
5 renewed. The expiration of the insurance policy shall not
6 terminate the liability under the policy arising during
7 the period for which the policy was filed. Trailer and

9 If the permitted user has a liability insurance policy
10 that provides automobile liability insurance coverage of
11 at least $100,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any
12 person, $300,000 for bodily injury to or the death of any 2
13 or more persons in any one crash, and $50,000 for damage to
14 property, then the permitted user's insurer shall be the
15 primary insurer and the dealer's insurer shall be the
16 secondary insurer. If the permitted user does not have a
17 liability insurance policy that provides automobile
18 liability insurance coverage of at least $100,000 for
19 bodily injury to or the death of any person, $300,000 for
20 bodily injury to or the death of any 2 or more persons in

23 shall be the primary insurer and the permitted user's
24 insurer shall be the secondary insurer.

26 dealer's automobile, the used vehicle dealer's insurance

9 reliability, or condition of the vehicle. The term
10 "permitted user" also includes a person who, with the
11 permission of the used vehicle dealer, drives a vehicle
12 owned or held for sale or lease by the used vehicle dealer
13 for loaner purposes while the user's vehicle is being
14 repaired or evaluated.
15 As used in this paragraph 4, "test driving" occurs
16 when a permitted user who, with the permission of the used
17 vehicle dealer or an employee of the used vehicle dealer,
18 drives a vehicle owned and held for sale or lease by a used
19 vehicle dealer that the person is considering to purchase
20 or lease, in order to evaluate the performance,
21 reliability, or condition of the vehicle.
22 As used in this paragraph 4, "loaner purposes" means
23 when a person who, with the permission of the used vehicle
24 dealer, drives a vehicle owned or held for sale or lease by
25 the used vehicle dealer while the user's vehicle is being

SB2394 Enrolled - 2678 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 approach of authorized emergency vehicles.
2 (a) Upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency
3 vehicle making use of audible and visual signals meeting the
4 requirements of this Code or a police vehicle properly and
5 lawfully making use of an audible or visual signal:
6 (1) the driver of every other vehicle shall yield the
7 right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position
8 parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right-hand
9 edge or curb of the highway clear of any intersection and
10 shall, if necessary to permit the safe passage of the
11 emergency vehicle, stop and remain in such position until
12 the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, unless
13 otherwise directed by a police officer; and
14 (2) the operator of every streetcar shall immediately
15 stop such car clear of any intersection and keep it in such
16 position until the authorized emergency vehicle has
17 passed, unless otherwise directed by a police officer.
18 (b) This Section shall not operate to relieve the driver
19 of an authorized emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with
20 due regard for the safety of all persons using the highway.
21 (c) Upon approaching a stationary authorized emergency
22 vehicle or emergency scene, when the stationary authorized
23 emergency vehicle is giving a visual signal by displaying
24 oscillating, rotating, or flashing lights as authorized under
25 Section 12-215 of this Code, a person who drives an
26 approaching vehicle shall:
SB2394 Enrolled - 2679 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (1) proceeding with due caution, yield the
2 right-of-way by making a lane change into a lane not
3 adjacent to that of the authorized emergency vehicle, if
4 possible with due regard to safety and traffic conditions,
5 if on a highway having at least 4 lanes with not less than
6 2 lanes proceeding in the same direction as the
7 approaching vehicle and reduce the speed of the vehicle to
8 a speed that is reasonable and proper with regard to
9 traffic conditions and the use of the highway to avoid a
10 collision and leaving a safe distance until safely past
11 the stationary emergency vehicle; or
12 (2) if changing lanes would be impossible or unsafe,
13 proceeding with due caution, reduce the speed of the
14 vehicle to a speed that is reasonable and proper with
15 regard to traffic conditions and the use of the highway to
16 avoid a collision, maintaining a safe speed for road
17 conditions and leaving a safe distance until safely past
18 the stationary emergency vehicles.
19 The visual signal specified under this subsection (c)
20 given by a stationary authorized emergency vehicle is an
21 indication to drivers of approaching vehicles that a hazardous
22 condition is present when circumstances are not immediately
23 clear. Drivers of vehicles approaching a stationary authorized
24 emergency vehicle in any lane shall heed the warning of the
25 signal, reduce the speed of the vehicle, proceed with due
26 caution, maintain a safe speed for road conditions, be
SB2394 Enrolled - 2680 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 prepared to stop, and leave a safe distance until safely

3 As used in this subsection (c), "authorized emergency
4 vehicle" includes any vehicle authorized by law to be equipped
5 with oscillating, rotating, or flashing lights under Section
6 12-215 of this Code, while the owner or operator of the vehicle
7 is engaged in his or her official duties. As used in this
8 subsection (c), "emergency scene" means a location where a

14 than $250 or more than $10,000 for a first violation, and a
15 fine of not less than $750 or more than $10,000 for a second or

17 person committed the offense while in violation of Section
18 11-501, 12-610.1, or 12-610.2 of this Code. Imposition of the
19 penalties authorized by this subsection (d) for a violation of
20 subsection (c) of this Section that results in the death of
21 another person does not preclude imposition of appropriate
22 additional civil or criminal penalties. A person who violates
23 subsection (c) and the violation results in damage to another
24 vehicle commits a Class A misdemeanor. A person who violates
25 subsection (c) and the violation results in the injury or

19 mandatory period; or
20 (2) extend the period of an existing suspension by the
21 appropriate mandatory period.

25 minor of the minor's right to petition for expungement as

SB2394 Enrolled - 2717 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

15 the specific articulable facts of the case:
16 (A) Felony violations of Sections 3.01, 3.02, or
17 3.03 of the Humane Care for Animals Act (cruel
18 treatment, aggravated cruelty, and animal torture);

5 Illinois Vehicle Code (aggravated driving under the
6 influence leading to death); or
7 (F) Subdivision (d)(1)(J) of Section 11-501 of the
8 Illinois Vehicle Code (aggravated driving under the

10 under the age of 16);
11 (7) the defendant is charged with an attempt to commit
12 any charge listed in paragraphs (1) through (6.5), and it
13 is alleged that the defendant's pretrial release poses a
14 real and present threat to the safety of any person or
15 persons or the community, based on the specific
16 articulable facts of the case; or
17 (8) the person has a high likelihood of willful flight
18 to avoid prosecution and is charged with:
19 (A) Any felony described in subdivisions (a)(1)
20 through (a)(7) of this Section; or
21 (B) A felony offense other than a Class 4 offense.
22 (b) If the charged offense is a felony, as part of the
23 detention hearing, the court shall determine whether there is
24 probable cause the defendant has committed an offense, unless
25 a hearing pursuant to Section 109-3 of this Code has already
26 been held or a grand jury has returned a true bill of
SB2394 Enrolled - 2750 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 indictment against the defendant. If there is a finding of no
2 probable cause, the defendant shall be released. No such
3 finding is necessary if the defendant is charged with a
4 misdemeanor.
5 (c) Timing of petition.
6 (1) A petition may be filed without prior notice to
7 the defendant at the first appearance before a judge, or
8 within the 21 calendar days, except as provided in Section
9 110-6, after arrest and release of the defendant upon
10 reasonable notice to defendant; provided that while such
11 petition is pending before the court, the defendant if
12 previously released shall not be detained.
13 (2) Upon filing, the court shall immediately hold a
14 hearing on the petition unless a continuance is requested.
15 If a continuance is requested and granted, the hearing
16 shall be held within 48 hours of the defendant's first
17 appearance if the defendant is charged with first degree
18 murder or a Class X, Class 1, Class 2, or Class 3 felony,
19 and within 24 hours if the defendant is charged with a
20 Class 4 or misdemeanor offense. The Court may deny or
21 grant the request for continuance. If the court decides to
22 grant the continuance, the Court retains the discretion to
23 detain or release the defendant in the time between the
24 filing of the petition and the hearing.
25 (d) Contents of petition.
26 (1) The petition shall be verified by the State and
SB2394 Enrolled - 2751 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall state the grounds upon which it contends the
2 defendant should be denied pretrial release, including the
3 real and present threat to the safety of any person or
4 persons or the community, based on the specific
5 articulable facts or flight risk, as appropriate.
6 (2) If the State seeks to file a second or subsequent
7 petition under this Section, the State shall be required
8 to present a verified application setting forth in detail
9 any new facts not known or obtainable at the time of the
10 filing of the previous petition.
11 (e) Eligibility: All defendants shall be presumed eligible
12 for pretrial release, and the State shall bear the burden of
13 proving by clear and convincing evidence that:
14 (1) the proof is evident or the presumption great that
15 the defendant has committed an offense listed in
16 subsection (a), and
17 (2) for offenses listed in paragraphs (1) through (7)
18 of subsection (a), the defendant poses a real and present
19 threat to the safety of any person or persons or the
20 community, based on the specific articulable facts of the
21 case, by conduct which may include, but is not limited to,
22 a forcible felony, the obstruction of justice,
23 intimidation, injury, or abuse as defined by paragraph (1)
24 of Section 103 of the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of
25 1986, and
26 (3) no condition or combination of conditions set
SB2394 Enrolled - 2752 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 forth in subsection (b) of Section 110-10 of this Article
2 can mitigate (i) the real and present threat to the safety
3 of any person or persons or the community, based on the
4 specific articulable facts of the case, for offenses
5 listed in paragraphs (1) through (7) of subsection (a), or
6 (ii) the defendant's willful flight for offenses listed in
7 paragraph (8) of subsection (a), and
8 (4) for offenses under subsection (b) of Section 407
9 of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act that are subject
10 to paragraph (1) of subsection (a), no condition or
11 combination of conditions set forth in subsection (b) of
12 Section 110-10 of this Article can mitigate the real and
13 present threat to the safety of any person or persons or
14 the community, based on the specific articulable facts of
15 the case, and the defendant poses a serious risk to not
16 appear in court as required.
17 (f) Conduct of the hearings.
18 (1) Prior to the hearing, the State shall tender to
19 the defendant copies of the defendant's criminal history
20 available, any written or recorded statements, and the
21 substance of any oral statements made by any person, if
22 relied upon by the State in its petition, and any police
23 reports in the prosecutor's possession at the time of the
24 hearing.
25 (2) The State or defendant may present evidence at the
26 hearing by way of proffer based upon reliable information.
SB2394 Enrolled - 2753 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (3) The defendant has the right to be represented by
2 counsel, and if he or she is indigent, to have counsel
3 appointed for him or her. The defendant shall have the
4 opportunity to testify, to present witnesses on his or her
5 own behalf, and to cross-examine any witnesses that are
6 called by the State. Defense counsel shall be given
7 adequate opportunity to confer with the defendant before
8 any hearing at which conditions of release or the
9 detention of the defendant are to be considered, with an
10 accommodation for a physical condition made to facilitate
11 attorney/client consultation. If defense counsel needs to
12 confer or consult with the defendant during any hearing
13 conducted via a 2-way two-way audio-visual communication
14 system, such consultation shall not be recorded and shall
15 be undertaken consistent with constitutional protections.
16 (3.5) A hearing at which pretrial release may be
17 denied must be conducted in person (and not by way of 2-way
18 two-way audio visual communication) unless the accused
19 waives the right to be present physically in court, the
20 court determines that the physical health and safety of
21 any person necessary to the proceedings would be
22 endangered by appearing in court, or the chief judge of
23 the circuit orders use of that system due to operational
24 challenges in conducting the hearing in person. Such
25 operational challenges must be documented and approved by
26 the chief judge of the circuit, and a plan to address the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2754 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 challenges through reasonable efforts must be presented
2 and approved by the Administrative Office of the Illinois
3 Courts every 6 months.
4 (4) If the defense seeks to compel the complaining
5 witness to testify as a witness in its favor, it shall
6 petition the court for permission. When the ends of
7 justice so require, the court may exercise its discretion
8 and compel the appearance of a complaining witness. The
9 court shall state on the record reasons for granting a
10 defense request to compel the presence of a complaining
11 witness only on the issue of the defendant's pretrial
12 detention. In making a determination under this Section,
13 the court shall state on the record the reason for
14 granting a defense request to compel the presence of a
15 complaining witness, and only grant the request if the
16 court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the
17 defendant will be materially prejudiced if the complaining
18 witness does not appear. Cross-examination of a
19 complaining witness at the pretrial detention hearing for
20 the purpose of impeaching the witness' credibility is
21 insufficient reason to compel the presence of the witness.
22 In deciding whether to compel the appearance of a
23 complaining witness, the court shall be considerate of the
24 emotional and physical well-being of the witness. The
25 pre-trial detention hearing is not to be used for purposes
26 of discovery, and the post arraignment rules of discovery
SB2394 Enrolled - 2755 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 do not apply. The State shall tender to the defendant,
2 prior to the hearing, copies, if any, of the defendant's
3 criminal history, if available, and any written or
4 recorded statements and the substance of any oral
5 statements made by any person, if in the State's
6 Attorney's possession at the time of the hearing.
7 (5) The rules concerning the admissibility of evidence
8 in criminal trials do not apply to the presentation and
9 consideration of information at the hearing. At the trial
10 concerning the offense for which the hearing was conducted
11 neither the finding of the court nor any transcript or
12 other record of the hearing shall be admissible in the
13 State's case-in-chief, but shall be admissible for
14 impeachment, or as provided in Section 115-10.1 of this
15 Code, or in a perjury proceeding.
16 (6) The defendant may not move to suppress evidence or
17 a confession, however, evidence that proof of the charged
18 crime may have been the result of an unlawful search or
19 seizure, or both, or through improper interrogation, is
20 relevant in assessing the weight of the evidence against
21 the defendant.
22 (7) Decisions regarding release, conditions of
23 release, and detention prior to trial must be
24 individualized, and no single factor or standard may be
25 used exclusively to order detention. Risk assessment tools
26 may not be used as the sole basis to deny pretrial release.
SB2394 Enrolled - 2756 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (g) Factors to be considered in making a determination of
2 dangerousness. The court may, in determining whether the
3 defendant poses a real and present threat to the safety of any
4 person or persons or the community, based on the specific
5 articulable facts of the case, consider, but shall not be
6 limited to, evidence or testimony concerning:
7 (1) The nature and circumstances of any offense
8 charged, including whether the offense is a crime of
9 violence, involving a weapon, or a sex offense.
10 (2) The history and characteristics of the defendant
11 including:
12 (A) Any evidence of the defendant's prior criminal
13 history indicative of violent, abusive, or assaultive
14 behavior, or lack of such behavior. Such evidence may
15 include testimony or documents received in juvenile
16 proceedings, criminal, quasi-criminal, civil
17 commitment, domestic relations, or other proceedings.
18 (B) Any evidence of the defendant's psychological,
19 psychiatric or other similar social history which
20 tends to indicate a violent, abusive, or assaultive
21 nature, or lack of any such history.
22 (3) The identity of any person or persons to whose
23 safety the defendant is believed to pose a threat, and the
24 nature of the threat.
25 (4) Any statements made by, or attributed to the
26 defendant, together with the circumstances surrounding
SB2394 Enrolled - 2757 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 them.
2 (5) The age and physical condition of the defendant.
3 (6) The age and physical condition of any victim or
4 complaining witness.
5 (7) Whether the defendant is known to possess or have
6 access to any weapon or weapons.
7 (8) Whether, at the time of the current offense or any
8 other offense or arrest, the defendant was on probation,
9 parole, aftercare release, mandatory supervised release,
10 or other release from custody pending trial, sentencing,
11 appeal, or completion of sentence for an offense under
12 federal or State state law.
13 (9) Any other factors, including those listed in
14 Section 110-5 of this Article deemed by the court to have a
15 reasonable bearing upon the defendant's propensity or
16 reputation for violent, abusive, or assaultive behavior,
17 or lack of such behavior.
18 (h) Detention order. The court shall, in any order for
19 detention:
20 (1) make a written finding summarizing the court's
21 reasons for concluding that the defendant should be denied
22 pretrial release, including why less restrictive
23 conditions would not avoid a real and present threat to
24 the safety of any person or persons or the community,
25 based on the specific articulable facts of the case, or
26 prevent the defendant's willful flight from prosecution;
SB2394 Enrolled - 2758 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (2) direct that the defendant be committed to the
2 custody of the sheriff for confinement in the county jail
3 pending trial;
4 (3) direct that the defendant be given a reasonable
5 opportunity for private consultation with counsel, and for
6 communication with others of his or her choice by
7 visitation, mail and telephone; and
8 (4) direct that the sheriff deliver the defendant as
9 required for appearances in connection with court
10 proceedings.
11 (i) Detention. If the court enters an order for the
12 detention of the defendant pursuant to subsection (e) of this
13 Section, the defendant shall be brought to trial on the
14 offense for which he is detained within 90 days after the date
15 on which the order for detention was entered. If the defendant
16 is not brought to trial within the 90-day period required by
17 the preceding sentence, he shall not be denied pretrial
18 release. In computing the 90-day period, the court shall omit
19 any period of delay resulting from a continuance granted at
20 the request of the defendant and any period of delay resulting
21 from a continuance granted at the request of the State with
22 good cause shown pursuant to Section 103-5.
23 (i-5) At each subsequent appearance of the defendant
24 before the court, the judge must find that continued detention
25 is necessary to avoid a real and present threat to the safety
26 of any person or persons or the community, based on the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2759 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 specific articulable facts of the case, or to prevent the
2 defendant's willful flight from prosecution.
3 (j) Rights of the defendant. The defendant shall be
4 entitled to appeal any order entered under this Section
5 denying his or her pretrial release.
6 (k) Appeal. The State may appeal any order entered under
7 this Section denying any motion for denial of pretrial
8 release.
9 (l) Presumption of innocence. Nothing in this Section
10 shall be construed as modifying or limiting in any way the
11 defendant's presumption of innocence in further criminal
12 proceedings.
13 (m) Interest of victims.
14 (1) Crime victims shall be given notice by the State's
15 Attorney's office of this hearing as required in paragraph
16 (1) of subsection (b) of Section 4.5 of the Rights of Crime
17 Victims and Witnesses Act and shall be informed of their
18 opportunity at this hearing to obtain a protective order.
19 (2) If the defendant is denied pretrial release, the
20 court may impose a no contact provision with the victim or
21 other interested party that shall be enforced while the
22 defendant remains in custody.

1 Sec. 5-6-3.6. First Time Weapon Offense Program.
2 (a) The General Assembly has sought to promote public
3 safety, reduce recidivism, and conserve valuable resources of
4 the criminal justice system through the creation of diversion
5 programs for non-violent offenders. Public Act 103-370 This
6 amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly establishes a
7 program for first-time, non-violent offenders charged with
8 certain weapons possession offenses. The General Assembly
9 recognizes some persons, particularly in areas of high crime
10 or poverty, may have experienced trauma that contributes to
11 poor decision making skills, and the creation of a
12 diversionary program poses a greater benefit to the community
13 and the person than incarceration. Under this program, a
14 court, with the consent of the defendant and the State's
15 Attorney, may sentence a defendant charged with an unlawful
16 possession of weapons offense under Section 24-1 of the
17 Criminal Code of 2012 or aggravated unlawful possession of a
18 weapon offense under Section 24-1.6 of the Criminal Code of
19 2012, if punishable as a Class 4 felony or lower, to a First
20 Time Weapon Offense Program.
21 (b) A defendant is not eligible for this Program if:
22 (1) the offense was committed during the commission of
23 a violent offense as defined in subsection (h) of this
24 Section;
25 (2) he or she has previously been convicted or placed
26 on probation or conditional discharge for any violent
SB2394 Enrolled - 2791 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 offense under the laws of this State, the laws of any other
2 state, or the laws of the United States;
3 (3) he or she had a prior successful completion of the
4 First Time Weapon Offense Program under this Section;
5 (4) he or she has previously been adjudicated a
6 delinquent minor for the commission of a violent offense;
7 (5) (blank); or
8 (6) he or she has an existing order of protection
9 issued against him or her.
10 (b-5) In considering whether a defendant shall be
11 sentenced to the First Time Weapon Offense Program, the court
12 shall consider the following:
13 (1) the age, immaturity, or limited mental capacity of
14 the defendant;
15 (2) the nature and circumstances of the offense;
16 (3) whether participation in the Program is in the
17 interest of the defendant's rehabilitation, including any
18 employment or involvement in community, educational,
19 training, or vocational programs;
20 (4) whether the defendant suffers from trauma, as
21 supported by documentation or evaluation by a licensed
22 professional; and
23 (5) the potential risk to public safety.
24 (c) For an offense committed on or after January 1, 2018
25 (the effective date of Public Act 100-3) whenever an eligible
26 person pleads guilty to an unlawful possession of weapons
SB2394 Enrolled - 2792 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 offense under Section 24-1 of the Criminal Code of 2012 or
2 aggravated unlawful possession of a weapon offense under
3 Section 24-1.6 of the Criminal Code of 2012, which is
4 punishable as a Class 4 felony or lower, the court, with the
5 consent of the defendant and the State's Attorney, may,
6 without entering a judgment, sentence the defendant to
7 complete the First Time Weapon Offense Program. When a
8 defendant is placed in the Program, the court shall defer
9 further proceedings in the case until the conclusion of the
10 period or until the filing of a petition alleging violation of
11 a term or condition of the Program. A disposition of probation
12 is considered to be a conviction for the purposes of imposing
13 the conditions of probation and for appeal;, however, a
14 sentence under this Section is not a conviction for purposes
15 of this Act or for purposes of disqualifications or
16 disabilities imposed by law upon conviction of a crime unless
17 and until judgment is entered. Upon violation of a term or
18 condition of the Program, the court may enter a judgment on its
19 original finding of guilt and proceed as otherwise provided by
20 law. Upon fulfillment of the terms and conditions of the
21 Program, the court shall discharge the person and dismiss the
22 proceedings against the person.
23 (d) The Program shall be at least 6 months and not to
24 exceed 24 months, as determined by the court at the
25 recommendation of the Program administrator and the State's
26 Attorney. The Program administrator may be appointed by the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2793 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Chief Judge of each Judicial Circuit.
2 (e) The conditions of the Program shall be that the
3 defendant:
4 (1) not violate any criminal statute of this State or
5 any other jurisdiction;
6 (2) refrain from possessing a firearm or other
7 dangerous weapon;
8 (3) (blank);
9 (4) (blank);
10 (5) (blank);
11 (6) (blank);
12 (7) attend and participate in any Program activities
13 deemed required by the Program administrator, such as:
14 counseling sessions, in-person and over the phone
15 check-ins, and educational classes; and
16 (8) (blank).
17 (f) The Program may, in addition to other conditions,
18 require that the defendant:
19 (1) obtain or attempt to obtain employment;
20 (2) attend educational courses designed to prepare the
21 defendant for obtaining a high school diploma or to work
22 toward passing high school equivalency testing or to work
23 toward completing a vocational training program;
24 (3) refrain from having in his or her body the
25 presence of any illicit drug prohibited by the
26 Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act or
SB2394 Enrolled - 2794 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, unless prescribed
2 by a physician, and submit samples of his or her blood or
3 urine or both for tests to determine the presence of any
4 illicit drug;
5 (4) perform community service;
6 (5) pay all fines, assessments, fees, and costs; and
7 (6) comply with such other reasonable conditions as
8 the court may impose.
9 (g) There may be only one discharge and dismissal under
10 this Section. If a person is convicted of any offense which
11 occurred within 5 years subsequent to a discharge and
12 dismissal under this Section, the discharge and dismissal
13 under this Section shall be admissible in the sentencing
14 proceeding for that conviction as evidence in aggravation.
15 (h) For purposes of this Section, "violent offense" means
16 any offense in which bodily harm was inflicted or force was
17 used against any person or threatened against any person; any
18 offense involving the possession of a firearm or dangerous
19 weapon; any offense involving sexual conduct, sexual
20 penetration, or sexual exploitation; violation of an order of
21 protection, stalking, hate crime, domestic battery, or any
22 offense of domestic violence.

7 Section 1090. The Probation and Probation Officers Act is
8 amended by changing Section 16.1 as follows:
9 (730 ILCS 110/16.1)
10 Sec. 16.1. Redeploy Illinois Program.
11 (a) The purpose of this Section is to encourage the
12 deinstitutionalization of juvenile offenders by establishing
13 projects in counties or groups of counties that reallocate
14 State funds from juvenile correctional confinement to local
15 jurisdictions, which will establish a continuum of local,
16 community-based sanctions and treatment alternatives for
17 juvenile offenders who would be incarcerated if those local
18 services and sanctions did not exist. It is also intended to
19 offer alternatives, when appropriate, to avoid commitment to
20 the Department of Juvenile Justice, to direct child welfare
21 services for minors charged with a criminal offense or
22 adjudicated delinquent under Section 5 of the Children and
23 Family Services Act. The allotment of funds will be based on a
24 formula that rewards local jurisdictions for the establishment
SB2394 Enrolled - 2812 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 or expansion of local alternatives to incarceration, and
2 requires them to pay for utilization of incarceration as a
3 sanction. In addition, there shall be an allocation of
4 resources (amount to be determined annually by the Redeploy
5 Illinois Oversight Board) set aside at the beginning of each
6 fiscal year to be made available for any county or groups of
7 counties which need resources only occasionally for services
8 to avoid commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice for
9 a limited number of youth. This redeployment of funds shall be
10 made in a manner consistent with the Juvenile Court Act of 1987
11 and the following purposes and policies:
12 (1) The juvenile justice system should protect the
13 community, impose accountability to victims and
14 communities for violations of law, and equip juvenile
15 offenders with competencies to live responsibly and
16 productively.
17 (2) Juveniles should be treated in the least
18 restrictive manner possible while maintaining the safety
19 of the community.
20 (3) A continuum of services and sanctions from least
21 restrictive to most restrictive should be available in
22 every community.
23 (4) There should be local responsibility and authority
24 for planning, organizing, and coordinating service
25 resources in the community. People in the community can
26 best choose a range of services which reflect community
SB2394 Enrolled - 2813 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 values and meet the needs of their own youth.
2 (5) Juveniles who pose a threat to the community or
3 themselves need special care, including secure settings.
4 Such services as detention, long-term incarceration, or
5 residential treatment are too costly to provide in each
6 community and should be coordinated and provided on a
7 regional or Statewide basis.
8 (6) The roles of State and local government in
9 creating and maintaining services to youth in the juvenile
10 justice system should be clearly defined. The role of the
11 State is to fund services, set standards of care, train
12 service providers, and monitor the integration and
13 coordination of services. The role of local government
14 should be to oversee the provision of services.
15 (b) Each county or circuit participating in the Redeploy
16 Illinois program must create a local plan demonstrating how it
17 will reduce the county or circuit's utilization of secure
18 confinement of juvenile offenders in the Illinois Department
19 of Juvenile Justice or county detention centers by the
20 creation or expansion of individualized services or programs
21 that may include but are not limited to the following:
22 (1) Assessment and evaluation services to provide the
23 juvenile justice system with accurate individualized case
24 information on each juvenile offender, including mental
25 health, substance abuse, educational, and family
26 information;
SB2394 Enrolled - 2814 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (2) Direct services to individual juvenile offenders,
2 including educational, vocational, mental health,
3 substance abuse, supervision, and service coordination;
4 and
5 (3) Programs that seek to restore the offender to the
6 community, such as victim offender panels, teen courts,
7 competency building, enhanced accountability measures,
8 restitution, and community service. The local plan must be
9 directed in such a manner as to emphasize an
10 individualized approach to providing services to juvenile
11 offenders in an integrated community based system
12 including probation as the broker of services. The plan
13 must also detail the reduction in utilization of secure
14 confinement. The local plan shall be limited to services
15 and shall not include costs for:
16 (i) capital expenditures;
17 (ii) renovations or remodeling;
18 (iii) personnel costs for probation.
19 The local plan shall be submitted to the Department of
20 Human Services.
21 (c) A county or group of counties may develop an agreement
22 with the Department of Human Services to reduce their number
23 of commitments of juvenile offenders, excluding minors
24 sentenced based upon a finding of guilt of first degree murder
25 or an offense which is a Class X forcible felony as defined in
26 the Criminal Code of 2012, to the Department of Juvenile
SB2394 Enrolled - 2815 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Justice, and then use the savings to develop local programming
2 for youth who would otherwise have been committed to the
3 Department of Juvenile Justice. A county or group of counties
4 shall agree to limit their commitments to 75% of the level of
5 commitments from the average number of juvenile commitments
6 for the past 3 years, and will receive the savings to redeploy
7 for local programming for juveniles who would otherwise be
8 held in confinement. For any county or group of counties with a
9 decrease of juvenile commitments of at least 25%, based on the
10 average reductions of the prior 3 years, which are chosen to
11 participate or continue as sites, the Redeploy Illinois
12 Oversight Board has the authority to reduce the required
13 percentage of future commitments to achieve the purpose of
14 this Section. The agreement shall set forth the following:
15 (1) a statement Statement of the number and type of
16 juvenile offenders from the county who were held in secure
17 confinement by the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice
18 or in county detention the previous year, and an
19 explanation of which, and how many, of these offenders
20 might be served through the proposed Redeploy Illinois
21 Program for which the funds shall be used;
22 (2) a statement Statement of the service needs of
23 currently confined juveniles;
24 (3) a statement Statement of the type of services and
25 programs to provide for the individual needs of the
26 juvenile offenders, and the research or evidence base that
SB2394 Enrolled - 2816 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 qualifies those services and programs as proven or
2 promising practices;
3 (4) a budget indicating the costs of each service or
4 program to be funded under the plan;
5 (5) a summary of contracts and service agreements
6 indicating the treatment goals and number of juvenile
7 offenders to be served by each service provider; and
8 (6) a statement Statement indicating that the Redeploy
9 Illinois Program will not duplicate existing services and
10 programs. Funds for this plan shall not supplant existing
11 county funded programs.
12 In a county with a population exceeding 2,000,000, the
13 Redeploy Illinois Oversight Board may authorize the Department
14 of Human Services to enter into an agreement with that county
15 to reduce the number of commitments by the same percentage as
16 is required by this Section of other counties, and with all of
17 the same requirements of this Act, including reporting and
18 evaluation, except that the agreement may encompass a clearly
19 identifiable geographical subdivision of that county. The
20 geographical subdivision may include, but is not limited to, a
21 police district or group of police districts, a geographical
22 area making up a court calendar or group of court calendars, a
23 municipal district or group of municipal districts, or a
24 municipality or group of municipalities.
25 (d) (Blank).
26 (d-5) A county or group of counties that does not have an
SB2394 Enrolled - 2817 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 approved Redeploy Illinois program, as described in subsection
2 (b), and that has committed fewer than 10 Redeploy eligible
3 youth to the Department of Juvenile Justice on average over
4 the previous 3 years, may develop an individualized agreement
5 with the Department of Human Services through the Redeploy
6 Illinois program to provide services to youth to avoid
7 commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice. The
8 agreement shall set forth the following:
9 (1) a statement of the number and type of juvenile
10 offenders from the county who were at risk under any of the
11 categories listed above during the 3 previous years, and
12 an explanation of which of these offenders would be served
13 through the proposed Redeploy Illinois program for which
14 the funds shall be used, or through individualized
15 contracts with existing Redeploy programs in neighboring
16 counties;
17 (2) a statement of the service needs;
18 (3) a statement of the type of services and programs
19 to provide for the individual needs of the juvenile
20 offenders, and the research or evidence that qualifies
21 those services and programs as proven or promising
22 practices;
23 (4) a budget indicating the costs of each service or
24 program to be funded under the plan;
25 (5) a summary of contracts and service agreements
26 indicating the treatment goals and number of juvenile
SB2394 Enrolled - 2818 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 offenders to be served by each service provider; and
2 (6) a statement indicating that the Redeploy Illinois
3 program will not duplicate existing services and programs.
4 Funds for this plan shall not supplant existing county
5 funded programs.
6 (e) The Department of Human Services shall be responsible
7 for the following:
8 (1) Reviewing each Redeploy Illinois Program plan for
9 compliance with standards established for such plans. A
10 plan may be approved as submitted, approved with
11 modifications, or rejected. No plan shall be considered
12 for approval if the circuit or county is not in full
13 compliance with all regulations, standards, and guidelines
14 pertaining to the delivery of basic probation services as
15 established by the Supreme Court.
16 (2) Monitoring on a continual basis and evaluating
17 annually both the program and its fiscal activities in all
18 counties receiving an allocation under the Redeploy
19 Illinois Program. Any program or service that has not met
20 the goals and objectives of its contract or service
21 agreement shall be subject to denial for funding in
22 subsequent years. The Department of Human Services shall
23 evaluate the effectiveness of the Redeploy Illinois
24 Program in each circuit or county. In determining the
25 future funding for the Redeploy Illinois Program under
26 this Act, the evaluation shall include, as a primary
SB2394 Enrolled - 2819 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 indicator of success, a decreased number of confinement
2 days for the county's juvenile offenders.
3 (f) Any Redeploy Illinois Program allocations not applied
4 for and approved by the Department of Human Services shall be
5 available for redistribution to approved plans for the
6 remainder of that fiscal year. Any county that invests local
7 moneys in the Redeploy Illinois Program shall be given first
8 consideration for any redistribution of allocations.
9 Jurisdictions participating in Redeploy Illinois that exceed
10 their agreed upon level of commitments to the Department of
11 Juvenile Justice shall reimburse the Department of Corrections
12 for each commitment above the agreed upon level.

10 15-1603 as follows:
11 (735 ILCS 5/8-804.5)
12 Sec. 8-804.5 804.5. Parties to a restorative justice
13 practice.
14 (a) This Section is intended to encourage the use of
15 restorative justice practices by providing a privilege for
16 participation in such practices and ensuring that anything
17 said or done during the practice, or in anticipation of or as a
18 follow-up to the practice, is privileged and may not be used in
19 any future proceeding unless the privilege is waived by the
20 informed consent of the party or parties covered by the
21 privilege. The General Assembly affords this privilege in
22 recognition of restorative justice as a powerful tool in
23 addressing the needs of victims, offenders, and the larger
24 community in the process of repairing the fabric of community
SB2394 Enrolled - 2828 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 peace. The General Assembly encourages residents of this State
2 to employ restorative justice practices, not only in
3 justiciable matters, but in all aspects of life and law.
4 (b) As used in this Section:
5 "Circle" means a versatile restorative practice that can
6 be used proactively, to develop relationships and build
7 community, or reactively, to respond to wrongdoing, conflicts,
8 and problems.
9 "Conference" means a structured meeting between offenders,
10 victims, and both parties' family and friends, in which they
11 deal with the consequences of a crime or wrongdoing and decide
12 how best to repair the harm.
13 "Facilitator" means a person who is trained to facilitate
14 a restorative justice practice.
15 "Party" means a person, including a facilitator, an
16 individual who has caused harm, an individual who has been
17 harmed, a community member, and any other participant, who
18 voluntarily consents to participate with others who have
19 agreed to participate in a restorative justice practice.
20 "Proceeding" means any legal action subject to this Code,
21 including, but not limited to, civil, criminal, juvenile, or
22 administrative hearings.
23 "Restorative justice practice" or "practice" means a
24 gathering, such as a conference or circle, in which parties
25 who have caused harm or who have been harmed and community
26 stakeholders collectively gather to identify and repair harm
SB2394 Enrolled - 2829 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 to the extent possible, address trauma, reduce the likelihood
2 of further harm, and strengthen community ties by focusing on
3 the needs and obligations of all parties involved through a
4 participatory process.
5 (c) Anything said or done during or in preparation for a
6 restorative justice practice or as a follow-up to that
7 practice, or the fact that the practice has been planned or
8 convened, is privileged and cannot be referred to, used, or
9 admitted in any civil, criminal, juvenile, or administrative
10 proceeding unless the privilege is waived, during the
11 proceeding or in writing, by the party or parties protected by
12 the privilege. Privileged information is not subject to
13 discovery or disclosure in any judicial or extrajudicial
14 proceedings.
15 Any waiver of privilege is limited to the participation
16 and communication of the waiving party only, and the
17 participation or communications of any other participant
18 remain privileged unless waived by the other participant.
19 (d) Evidence that is otherwise admissible or subject to
20 discovery does not become inadmissible or protected from
21 discovery solely because it was discussed or used in a
22 restorative justice practice.
23 (e) The legitimacy of a restorative justice practice, if
24 challenged in any civil, juvenile, criminal, or administrative
25 proceeding, shall be determined by a judge. In a hearing
26 conducted pursuant to this subsection, the judge may consider
SB2394 Enrolled - 2830 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 information that would otherwise be privileged to the extent
2 that the information is probative of the issue.
3 (f) The privilege afforded by this Section does not apply
4 if:
5 (1) disclosure is necessary to prevent death, great
6 bodily harm, or the commission of a crime;
7 (2) necessary to comply with another law; or
8 (3) a court, tribunal, or administrative body requires
9 a report on a restorative justice practice, but such
10 report shall be limited to the fact that a practice has
11 taken place, an opinion regarding the success of the
12 practice, and whether further restorative justice
13 practices are expected.
14 (g) This Section applies to all restorative justice
15 practices that are convened on or after July 15, 2021 (the
16 effective date of 102-100) this amendatory Act of the 102nd
17 General Assembly.

19 (735 ILCS 5/15-1603) (from Ch. 110, par. 15-1603)
20 Sec. 15-1603. Redemption.
21 (a) Owner of Redemption. Except as provided in subsection
22 (b) of Section 15-1402, only an owner of redemption may redeem
23 from the foreclosure, and such owner of redemption may redeem
24 only during the redemption period specified in subsection (b)
25 of this Section 15-1603 and only if the right of redemption has
SB2394 Enrolled - 2831 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 not been validly waived.
2 (b) Redemption Period.
3 (1) In the foreclosure of a mortgage of real estate
4 which is residential real estate at the time the
5 foreclosure is commenced, the redemption period shall end
6 on the later of (i) the date 7 months from the date the
7 mortgagor or, if more than one, all the mortgagors (A)
8 have been served with summons or by publication or (B)
9 have otherwise submitted to the jurisdiction of the court,
10 or (ii) the date 3 months from the date of entry of a
11 judgment of foreclosure.
12 (2) In all other foreclosures, the redemption period
13 shall end on the later of (i) the date 6 months from the
14 date the mortgagor or, if more than one, all the
15 mortgagors (A) have been served with summons or by
16 publication or (B) have otherwise submitted to the
17 jurisdiction of the court, or (ii) the date 3 months from
18 the date of entry of a judgment of foreclosure.
19 (3) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), the
20 redemption period shall end at the later of the expiration
21 of any reinstatement period provided for in Section
22 15-1602 or the date 60 days after the date the judgment of
23 foreclosure is entered, if the court finds that (i) the
24 value of the mortgaged real estate as of the date of the
25 judgment is less than 90% of the amount specified pursuant
26 to subsection (d) of this Section 15-1603 and (ii) the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2832 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 mortgagee waives any and all rights to a personal judgment
2 for a deficiency against the mortgagor and against all
3 other persons liable for the indebtedness or other
4 obligations secured by the mortgage.
5 (4) Notwithstanding paragraphs (1) and (2), the
6 redemption period shall end on the date 30 days after the
7 date the judgment of foreclosure is entered if the court
8 finds that the mortgaged real estate has been abandoned.
9 In cases where the redemption period is shortened on
10 account of abandonment, the reinstatement period shall not
11 extend beyond the redemption period as shortened.
12 (c) Extension of Redemption Period.
13 (1) Once expired, the right of redemption provided for
14 in this Section Sections 15-1603 or Section 15-1604 shall
15 not be revived. The period within which the right of
16 redemption provided for in this Section Sections 15-1603
17 or Section 15-1604 may be exercised runs independently of
18 any action by any person to enforce the judgment of
19 foreclosure or effect a sale pursuant thereto. Neither the
20 initiation of any legal proceeding nor the order of any
21 court staying the enforcement of a judgment of foreclosure
22 or the sale pursuant to a judgment or the confirmation of
23 the sale, shall have the effect of tolling the running of
24 the redemption period.
25 (2) If a court has the authority to stay, and does
26 stay, the running of the redemption period, or if the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2833 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 redemption period is extended by any statute of the United
2 States, the redemption period shall be extended until the
3 expiration of the same number of days after the expiration
4 of the stay order as the number of days remaining in the
5 redemption period at the time the stay order became
6 effective, or, if later, until the expiration of 30 days
7 after the stay order terminates. If the stay order
8 terminates more than 30 days prior to the expiration of
9 the redemption period, the redemption period shall not be
10 extended.
11 (d) Amount Required to Redeem. The amount required to
12 redeem shall be the sum of:
13 (1) The amount specified in the judgment of
14 foreclosure, which shall consist of (i) all principal and
15 accrued interest secured by the mortgage and due as of the
16 date of the judgment, (ii) all costs allowed by law, (iii)
17 costs and expenses approved by the court, (iv) to the
18 extent provided for in the mortgage and approved by the
19 court, additional costs, expenses, and reasonable
20 attorney's attorneys' fees incurred by the mortgagee, (v)
21 all amounts paid pursuant to Section 15-1505, and (vi) per
22 diem interest from the date of judgment to the date of
23 redemption calculated at the mortgage rate of interest
24 applicable as if no default had occurred; and
25 (2) The amount of other expenses authorized by the
26 court which the mortgagee reasonably incurs between the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2834 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 date of judgment and the date of redemption, which shall
2 be the amount certified by the mortgagee in accordance
3 with subsection (e) of this Section 15-1603.
4 (e) Notice of Intent to Redeem. An owner of redemption who
5 intends to redeem shall give written notice of such intent to
6 redeem to the mortgagee's attorney of record specifying the
7 date designated for redemption and the current address of the
8 owner of redemption for purposes of receiving notice. Such
9 owner of redemption shall file with the clerk of the court a
10 certification of the giving of such notice. The notice of
11 intent to redeem must be received by the mortgagee's attorney
12 at least 15 days (other than Saturday, Sunday, or court
13 holiday) prior to the date designated for redemption. The
14 mortgagee shall thereupon file with the clerk of the court and
15 shall give written notice to the owner of redemption at least
16 three days (other than Saturday, Sunday, or court holiday)
17 before the date designated for redemption a certification,
18 accompanied by copies of paid receipts or appropriate
19 affidavits, of any expenses authorized in paragraph (2) of
20 subsection (d) of this Section 15-1603. If the mortgagee fails
21 to serve such certification within the time specified herein,
22 then the owner of redemption intending to redeem may redeem on
23 the date designated for redemption in the notice of intent to
24 redeem, and the mortgagee shall not be entitled to payment of
25 any expenses authorized in paragraph (2) of subsection (d) of
26 this Section 15-1603.
SB2394 Enrolled - 2835 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (f) Procedure for Redemption.
2 (1) An owner of redemption may redeem the real estate

4 subsection (d) of this Section 15-1603 to the mortgagee or
5 the mortgagee's attorney of record on or before the date
6 designated for redemption pursuant to subsection (e) of
7 this Section 15-1603.
8 (2) If the mortgagee refuses to accept payment or if
9 the owner of redemption redeeming from the foreclosure
10 objects to the reasonableness of the additional expenses
11 authorized in paragraph (2) of subsection (d) of this
12 Section 15-1603 and certified in accordance with
13 subsection (e) of this Section 15-1603, the owner of
14 redemption shall pay the certified amount to the clerk of
15 the court on or before the date designated for redemption,
16 together with a written statement specifying the expenses
17 to which objection is made. In such case the clerk shall
18 pay to the mortgagee the amount tendered minus the amount
19 to which the objection pertains.
20 (3) Upon payment to the clerk, whether or not the
21 owner of redemption files an objection at the time of
22 payment, the clerk shall give a receipt of payment to the
23 person redeeming from the foreclosure, and shall file a
24 copy of that receipt in the foreclosure record. Upon
25 receipt of the amounts specified to be paid to the
26 mortgagee pursuant to this Section, the mortgagee shall
SB2394 Enrolled - 2836 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 promptly furnish the mortgagor with a release of the
2 mortgage or satisfaction of the judgment, as appropriate,
3 and the evidence of all indebtedness secured by the
4 mortgage shall be cancelled.
5 (g) Procedure Upon Objection. If an objection is filed by
6 an owner of redemption in accordance with paragraph (2) of
7 subsection (f) of this Section 15-1603, the clerk shall hold
8 the amount to which the objection pertains until the court
9 orders distribution of those funds. The court shall hold a
10 hearing promptly to determine the distribution of any funds
11 held by the clerk pursuant to such objection. Each party shall
12 pay its own costs and expenses in connection with any
13 objection, including attorney's attorneys' fees, subject to
14 Section 2-611 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
15 (h) Failure to Redeem. Unless the real estate being
16 foreclosed is redeemed from the foreclosure, it shall be sold
17 as provided in this Article.

4 Section 1125. The Illinois Antitrust Act is amended by
5 changing Section 7.2 as follows:
6 (740 ILCS 10/7.2) (from Ch. 38, par. 60-7.2)
7 Sec. 7.2. (1) Whenever it appears to the Attorney General
8 that any person has engaged in, is engaging in, or is about to
9 engage in any act or practice prohibited by this Act, or that
10 any person has assisted or participated in any agreement or
11 combination of the nature described herein, he may, in his
12 discretion, conduct an investigation as he deems necessary in
13 connection with the matter and has the authority prior to the
14 commencement of any civil or criminal action as provided for
15 in the Act to subpoena witnesses, and pursuant to a subpoena
16 (i) compel their attendance for the purpose of examining them

19 referred to as "documentary material" which the Attorney
20 General deems relevant or material to his investigation, for
21 inspection, reproducing, or copying under such terms and
22 conditions as hereafter set forth, (iii) require written
23 answers under oath to written interrogatories, or (iv) require
24 compliance with a combination of the foregoing. Any subpoena
SB2394 Enrolled - 2874 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 issued by the Attorney General shall contain the following
2 information:
3 (a) The statute and section thereof, the alleged
4 violation of which is under investigation and the general
5 subject matter of the investigation.
6 (b) The date and place at which time the person is
7 required to appear or produce documentary material in his
8 possession, custody, or control or submit answers to
9 interrogatories in the office of the Attorney General
10 located in Springfield or Chicago. Said date shall not be
11 less than 10 days from date of service of the subpoena.
12 (c) Where documentary material is required to be
13 produced, the same shall be described by class so as to
14 clearly indicate the material demanded.
15 The Attorney General is hereby authorized, and may so
16 elect, to require the production, pursuant to this Section
17 section, of documentary material or interrogatory answers
18 prior to the taking of any testimony of the person subpoenaed.
19 Said documentary material shall be made available for
20 inspection and copying during normal business hours at the
21 principal place of business of the person served, or at such
22 other time and place, as may be agreed upon by the person
23 served and the Attorney General. When documentary material is
24 demanded by subpoena, said subpoena shall not:
25 (i) contain any requirement which would be

5 issued by a court of this State.
6 (2) The production of documentary material in response to
7 a subpoena served pursuant to this Section shall be made under
8 a sworn certificate, in such form as the subpoena designates,
9 by the person, if a natural person, to whom the demand is
10 directed or, if not a natural person, by a person or persons
11 having knowledge of the facts and circumstances relating to
12 such production, to the effect that all of the documentary
13 material required by the demand and in the possession,
14 custody, or control of the person to whom the demand is

20 such reasonable terms and conditions as the Attorney General
21 shall prescribe: (A) documentary material shall be available
22 for examination by the person who produced such material or by

10 the person who produced such material, transcripts, or
11 interrogatory answers. Such documentary material, transcripts
12 of oral testimony, or answers to interrogatories, or copies
13 thereof, may be used by the Attorney General in any
14 administrative or judicial action or proceeding.
15 For purposes of this Section, all documentary materials,
16 transcripts of oral testimony, answers to interrogatories
17 obtained by the Attorney General from other law enforcement
18 officials, information voluntarily produced to the Attorney
19 General for purposes of any investigation conducted under
20 subsection (1), or information provided to the Attorney
21 General pursuant to the notice requirement of Section 7.2a
22 shall be treated as if produced pursuant to a subpoena served
23 pursuant to this Section for purposes of maintaining the
24 confidentiality of such information.
25 The changes made by Public Act 103-526 this amendatory Act
26 of the 103rd General Assembly are inoperative on and after
SB2394 Enrolled - 2877 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 January 1, 2027.
2 (3) No person shall, with intent to avoid, evade, prevent,
3 or obstruct compliance in whole or in part by any person with
4 any duly served subpoena of the Attorney General under this
5 Act, knowingly remove from any place, conceal, withhold,
6 destroy, mutilate, alter, or by any other means falsify any
7 documentary material that is the subject of such subpoena. A
8 violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. The
9 Attorney General, with such assistance as he may from time to
10 time require of the State's Attorneys in the several counties,
11 shall investigate suspected violations of this subsection and
12 shall commence and try all prosecutions under this subsection.
13 (Source: P.A. 103-526, eff. 1-1-24; revised 7-24-24.)
14 Section 1130. The Mental Health and Developmental
15 Disabilities Confidentiality Act is amended by changing
16 Section 9.6 as follows:
17 (740 ILCS 110/9.6)
18 Sec. 9.6. Participants of any HIE, as defined under
19 Section 2, shall allow each recipient whose record is
20 accessible through the health information exchange the
21 reasonable opportunity to expressly decline the further
22 disclosure of the record by the health information exchange to
23 third parties, except to the extent permitted by law such as
24 for purposes of public health reporting. The HIE participants
SB2394 Enrolled - 2878 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 shall permit a recipient to revoke a prior decision to opt out
2 opt-out or a decision not to opt out opt-out. These rules,
3 standards, or contractual obligations shall provide for
4 written notice of a recipient's right to opt out opt-out which
5 directs the recipient to a health information exchange website
6 containing (i) an explanation of the purposes of the health
7 information exchange; and (ii) audio, visual, and written
8 instructions on how to opt out opt-out of participation in
9 whole or in part to the extent possible. The process for
10 effectuating an opt-out shall be reviewed by the HIE
11 participants annually and updated as the technical options
12 develop. The recipient shall be provided meaningful disclosure
13 regarding the health information exchange, and the recipient's
14 decision whether to opt out opt-out should be obtained without
15 undue inducement or any element of force, fraud, deceit,
16 duress, or other form of constraint or coercion. To the extent
17 that HIPAA, as specified in 45 CFR 164.508(b)(4), prohibits a
18 covered entity from conditioning the provision of its services
19 upon an individual's provision of an authorization, an HIE
20 participant shall not condition the provision of its services
21 upon a recipient's decision to opt out opt-out of further
22 disclosure of the record by an HIE to third parties. The HIE
23 participants shall also give annual consideration to enable a
24 recipient to expressly decline the further disclosure by an
25 HIE to third parties of selected portions of the recipient's
26 record while permitting disclosure of the recipient's
SB2394 Enrolled - 2879 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 remaining patient health information. In giving effect to
2 recipient disclosure preferences, the HIE participants may
3 consider the extent to which relevant health information
4 technologies reasonably available to therapists and HIEs in
5 this State reasonably enable the effective segmentation of
6 specific information within a recipient's electronic medical
7 record and reasonably enable the effective exclusion of
8 specific information from disclosure by an HIE to third
9 parties, as well as the availability of sufficient
10 authoritative clinical guidance to enable the practical
11 application of such technologies to effect recipient
12 disclosure preferences. The provisions of this Section 9.6
13 shall not apply to the secure electronic transmission of data
14 which is point-to-point communication directed by the data
15 custodian.
16 (Source: P.A. 103-508, eff. 8-4-23; revised 7-24-24.)
17 Section 1135. The Whistleblower Act is amended by changing
18 Section 15 as follows:
19 (740 ILCS 174/15)

1 public body, information related to an activity, policy, or
2 practice of the employer, where the employee has a good faith
3 belief that the activity, policy, or practice (i) violates a
4 State or federal law, rule, or regulation or (ii) poses a
5 substantial and specific danger to employees, public health,
6 or safety.
7 (b) An employer may not take retaliatory action against an
8 employee for disclosing or threatening to disclose information
9 to a government or law enforcement agency information related
10 to an activity, policy, or practice of the employer, where the
11 employee has a good faith belief that the activity, policy, or
12 practice of the employer (i) violates a State or federal law,
13 rule, or regulation or (ii) poses a substantial and specific
14 danger to employees, public health, or safety.
15 (c) An employer may not take retaliatory action against an
16 employee for disclosing or threatening to disclose to any
17 supervisor, principal officer, board member, or supervisor in
18 an organization that has a contractual relationship with the
19 employer who makes the employer aware of the disclosure,
20 information related to an activity, policy, or practice of the
21 employer if the employee has a good faith belief that the
22 activity, policy, or practice (i) violates a State or federal
23 law, rule, or regulation or (ii) poses a substantial and
24 specific danger to employees, public health, or safety.

17 great-uncle, great-aunt, first cousin, or second cousin. A
18 person is related to the child as a first cousin or second

20 grandchild or great-grandchild. A child whose parent has
21 executed a consent to adoption, a surrender, or a waiver
22 pursuant to Section 10 of this Act or whose parent has signed a

9 C. "Agency" for the purpose of this Act means a public
10 child welfare agency or a licensed child welfare agency.
11 D. "Unfit person" means any person whom the court shall
12 find to be unfit to have a child, without regard to the
13 likelihood that the child will be placed for adoption. The
14 grounds of unfitness are any one or more of the following,
15 except that a person shall not be considered an unfit person
16 for the sole reason that the person has relinquished a child in

6 (m-1) (Blank).
7 (n) Evidence of intent to forgo his or her parental
8 rights, whether or not the child is a ward of the court,
9 (1) as manifested by his or her failure for a period of 12

11 the child or agency, although able to do so and not
12 prevented from doing so by an agency or by court order, or
13 (iii) to maintain contact with or plan for the future of
14 the child, although physically able to do so, or (2) as
15 manifested by the father's failure, where he and the
16 mother of the child were unmarried to each other at the
17 time of the child's birth, (i) to commence legal
18 proceedings to establish his paternity under the Illinois
19 Parentage Act of 1984, the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015,
20 or the law of the jurisdiction of the child's birth within
21 30 days of being informed, pursuant to Section 12a of this

23 child or, after being so informed where the child is not
24 yet born, within 30 days of the child's birth, or (ii) to
25 make a good faith effort to pay a reasonable amount of the
26 expenses related to the birth of the child and to provide a
SB2394 Enrolled - 2889 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 reasonable amount for the financial support of the child,
2 the court to consider in its determination all relevant
3 circumstances, including the financial condition of both
4 parents; provided that the ground for termination provided
5 in this item (ii) of subparagraph (2) of this paragraph
6 (n) subparagraph (n)(2)(ii) shall only be available where
7 the petition is brought by the mother or the husband of the
8 mother.
9 Contact or communication by a parent with his or her
10 child that does not demonstrate affection and concern does
11 not constitute reasonable contact and planning under this
12 paragraph subdivision (n). In the absence of evidence to
13 the contrary, the ability to visit, communicate, maintain
14 contact, pay expenses, and plan for the future shall be
15 presumed. The subjective intent of the parent, whether
16 expressed or otherwise, unsupported by evidence of the
17 foregoing parental acts manifesting that intent, shall not
18 preclude a determination that the parent has intended to
19 forgo his or her parental rights. In making this
20 determination, the court may consider but shall not
21 require a showing of diligent efforts by an authorized
22 agency to encourage the parent to perform the acts
23 specified in this paragraph subdivision (n).
24 It shall be an affirmative defense to any allegation
25 under subparagraph paragraph (2) of this paragraph (n)

2 by the mother or any other person having legal custody.

6 although physically and financially able, to provide the
7 child with adequate food, clothing, or shelter.

9 supported by competent evidence from a psychiatrist,
10 licensed clinical social worker, or clinical psychologist
11 of mental impairment, mental illness, or an intellectual
12 disability as defined in Section 1-116 of the Mental
13 Health and Developmental Disabilities Code, or
14 developmental disability as defined in Section 1-106 of
15 that Code, and there is sufficient justification to
16 believe that the inability to discharge parental
17 responsibilities shall extend beyond a reasonable time
18 period. However, this paragraph subdivision (p) shall not
19 be construed so as to permit a licensed clinical social
20 worker to conduct any medical diagnosis to determine
21 mental illness or mental impairment.
22 (q) (Blank).
23 (r) The child is in the temporary custody or
24 guardianship of the Department of Children and Family
25 Services, the parent is incarcerated as a result of
26 criminal conviction at the time the petition or motion for
SB2394 Enrolled - 2891 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 termination of parental rights is filed, prior to
2 incarceration the parent had little or no contact with the
3 child or provided little or no support for the child, and
4 the parent's incarceration will prevent the parent from
5 discharging his or her parental responsibilities for the
6 child for a period in excess of 2 years after the filing of
7 the petition or motion for termination of parental rights.
8 (s) The child is in the temporary custody or
9 guardianship of the Department of Children and Family
10 Services, the parent is incarcerated at the time the
11 petition or motion for termination of parental rights is
12 filed, the parent has been repeatedly incarcerated as a
13 result of criminal convictions, and the parent's repeated
14 incarceration has prevented the parent from discharging
15 his or her parental responsibilities for the child.

24 process. Those procedures can include, but are not limited to,
25 assisted ventilation, renal dialysis, surgical procedures,
26 blood transfusions, and the administration of drugs,

23 that, to a high degree of medical certainty, (i) will last
24 permanently, without improvement, (ii) in which thought,

SB2394 Enrolled - 2908 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

2 treatment, in light of the patient's medical condition,
3 provides only minimal medical benefit.
4 (3) "Incurable or irreversible condition" means an
5 illness or injury (i) for which there is no reasonable
6 prospect of cure or recovery, (ii) that ultimately will
7 cause the patient's death even if life-sustaining

11 life-sustaining treatment, in light of the patient's
12 medical condition, provides only minimal medical benefit.

14 condition creates no presumption regarding the application or
15 non-application of life-sustaining treatment. It is only after
16 a determination by the attending physician that the patient
17 has a qualifying condition that the surrogate decision maker
18 may consider whether or not to forgo life-sustaining

20 the burdens on the patient of initiating or continuing
21 life-sustaining treatment against the benefits of that
22 treatment.

24 who has personally examined the patient and who is licensed in
25 Illinois or in the state where the patient is being treated and

16 person or persons who are to make those decisions in
17 accordance with the provisions of this Act.

13 not in a Special Flood Hazard Area ("100-year floodplain"),
14 the dwelling may still be susceptible to flooding. The Federal

21 the 30th day after a tenant becomes aware of the landlord's
22 failure to comply with subsection (b), and the landlord shall
23 return all rent and fees paid in advance no later than the 15th
24 day after the tenant gave notice.
25 If a landlord fails to comply with subsection (b) or

7 employee, requests a reasonable accommodation, for an
8 employer to not make reasonable accommodations for any
9 medical or common condition of a job applicant or
10 employee related to pregnancy or childbirth, unless
11 the employer can demonstrate that the accommodation
12 would impose an undue hardship on the ordinary
13 operation of the business of the employer. The
14 employer may request documentation from the employee's
15 health care provider concerning the need for the
16 requested reasonable accommodation or accommodations
17 to the same extent documentation is requested for
18 conditions related to disability if the employer's
19 request for documentation is job-related and
20 consistent with business necessity. The employer may
21 require only the medical justification for the
22 requested accommodation or accommodations, a
23 description of the reasonable accommodation or
24 accommodations medically advisable, the date the
25 reasonable accommodation or accommodations became
26 medically advisable, and the probable duration of the
SB2394 Enrolled - 2941 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 reasonable accommodation or accommodations. It is the
2 duty of the individual seeking a reasonable
3 accommodation or accommodations to submit to the
4 employer any documentation that is requested in
5 accordance with this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
6 provisions of this paragraph, the employer may require
7 documentation by the employee's health care provider
8 to determine compliance with other laws. The employee
9 and employer shall engage in a timely, good faith, and
10 meaningful exchange to determine effective reasonable
11 accommodations.
12 (2) For an employer to deny employment
13 opportunities or benefits to or take adverse action
14 against an otherwise qualified job applicant or
15 employee, including a part-time, full-time, or
16 probationary employee, if the denial or adverse action
17 is based on the need of the employer to make reasonable
18 accommodations to the known medical or common
19 conditions related to the pregnancy or childbirth of
20 the applicant or employee.
21 (3) For an employer to require a job applicant or
22 employee, including a part-time, full-time, or
23 probationary employee, affected by pregnancy,
24 childbirth, or medical or common conditions related to
25 pregnancy or childbirth to accept an accommodation
26 when the applicant or employee did not request an
SB2394 Enrolled - 2942 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 accommodation and the applicant or employee chooses
2 not to accept the employer's accommodation.
3 (4) For an employer to require an employee,
4 including a part-time, full-time, or probationary
5 employee, to take leave under any leave law or policy
6 of the employer if another reasonable accommodation
7 can be provided to the known medical or common
8 conditions related to the pregnancy or childbirth of
9 an employee. No employer shall fail or refuse to
10 reinstate the employee affected by pregnancy,
11 childbirth, or medical or common conditions related to
12 pregnancy or childbirth to her original job or to an
13 equivalent position with equivalent pay and
14 accumulated seniority, retirement, fringe benefits,
15 and other applicable service credits upon her
16 signifying her intent to return or when her need for
17 reasonable accommodation ceases, unless the employer
18 can demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an
19 undue hardship on the ordinary operation of the
20 business of the employer.
21 For the purposes of this subdivision (J), "reasonable
22 accommodations" means reasonable modifications or
23 adjustments to the job application process or work
24 environment, or to the manner or circumstances under which
25 the position desired or held is customarily performed,
26 that enable an applicant or employee affected by
SB2394 Enrolled - 2943 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 pregnancy, childbirth, or medical or common conditions
2 related to pregnancy or childbirth to be considered for
3 the position the applicant desires or to perform the
4 essential functions of that position, and may include, but
5 is not limited to: more frequent or longer bathroom
6 breaks, breaks for increased water intake, and breaks for
7 periodic rest; private non-bathroom space for expressing
8 breast milk and breastfeeding; seating; assistance with
9 manual labor; light duty; temporary transfer to a less
10 strenuous or hazardous position; the provision of an
11 accessible worksite; acquisition or modification of
12 equipment; job restructuring; a part-time or modified work
13 schedule; appropriate adjustment or modifications of
14 examinations, training materials, or policies;
15 reassignment to a vacant position; time off to recover
16 from conditions related to childbirth; and leave
17 necessitated by pregnancy, childbirth, or medical or
18 common conditions resulting from pregnancy or childbirth.
19 For the purposes of this subdivision (J), "undue
20 hardship" means an action that is prohibitively expensive
21 or disruptive when considered in light of the following
22 factors: (i) the nature and cost of the accommodation
23 needed; (ii) the overall financial resources of the
24 facility or facilities involved in the provision of the
25 reasonable accommodation, the number of persons employed
26 at the facility, the effect on expenses and resources, or
SB2394 Enrolled - 2944 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the impact otherwise of the accommodation upon the
2 operation of the facility; (iii) the overall financial
3 resources of the employer, the overall size of the
4 business of the employer with respect to the number of its
5 employees, and the number, type, and location of its
6 facilities; and (iv) the type of operation or operations
7 of the employer, including the composition, structure, and
8 functions of the workforce of the employer, the geographic
9 separateness, administrative, or fiscal relationship of
10 the facility or facilities in question to the employer.
11 The employer has the burden of proving undue hardship. The
12 fact that the employer provides or would be required to
13 provide a similar accommodation to similarly situated
14 employees creates a rebuttable presumption that the
15 accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the
16 employer.
17 No employer is required by this subdivision (J) to
18 create additional employment that the employer would not
19 otherwise have created, unless the employer does so or
20 would do so for other classes of employees who need
21 accommodation. The employer is not required to discharge
22 any employee, transfer any employee with more seniority,
23 or promote any employee who is not qualified to perform
24 the job, unless the employer does so or would do so to
25 accommodate other classes of employees who need it.

12 accommodations. The Department shall make the

17 a preliminary investigation. If the Department finds a
18 violation, the Department may issue a notice to show
19 cause giving the employer 30 days to correct the

22 Section 1220. The Paid Leave for All Workers Act is
23 amended by changing Section 15 as follows:
24 (820 ILCS 192/15)
SB2394 Enrolled - 2986 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Sec. 15. Provision of paid leave.
2 (a) An employee who works in Illinois is entitled to earn
3 and use up to a minimum of 40 hours of paid leave during a
4 12-month period or a pro rata number of hours of paid leave
5 under the provisions of subsection (b). The paid leave may be
6 used by the employee for any purpose as long as the paid leave
7 is taken in accordance with the provisions of this Act.
8 (b) Paid leave under this Act shall accrue at the rate of
9 one hour of paid leave for every 40 hours worked up to a
10 minimum of 40 hours of paid leave or such greater amount if the
11 employer provides more than 40 hours. Employees who are exempt
12 from the overtime requirements of the federal Fair Labor
13 Standards Act (29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1)) shall be deemed to work 40
14 hours in each workweek for purposes of paid leave accrual
15 unless their regular workweek is less than 40 hours, in which
16 case paid leave accrues based on that regular workweek.
17 Employees shall determine how much paid leave they need to
18 use;, however, employers may set a reasonable minimum
19 increment for the use of paid leave not to exceed 2 hours per
20 day. If an employee's scheduled workday is less than 2 hours
21 per day, the employee's scheduled workday shall be used to
22 determine the amount of paid leave.
23 (c) An employer may make available the minimum number of
24 hours of paid leave, subject to pro rata requirements provided
25 in subsection (b), to an employee on the first day of
26 employment or the first day of the 12-month period. Employers
SB2394 Enrolled - 2987 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 that provide the minimum number of hours of paid leave to an
2 employee on the first day of employment or the first day of the
3 12-month period are not required to carry over carryover paid
4 leave from 12-month period to 12-month period and may require
5 employees to use all paid leave prior to the end of the benefit
6 period or forfeit the unused paid leave. However, under no
7 circumstances shall an employee be credited with paid leave
8 that is less than what the employee would have accrued under
9 subsections (a) and (g) of this Section.
10 (d) The 12-month period may be any consecutive 12-month
11 period designated by the employer in writing at the time of
12 hire. Changes to the 12-month period may be made by the
13 employer if notice is given to employees in writing prior to
14 the change and the change does not reduce the eligible accrual
15 rate and paid leave available to the employee. If the employer
16 changes the designated 12-month period, the employer shall
17 provide the employee with documentation of the balance of
18 hours worked, paid leave accrued and taken, and the remaining
19 paid leave balance.
20 (e) Paid leave under this Act may be taken by an employee
21 for any reason of the employee's choosing. An employee is not
22 required to provide an employer a reason for the leave and may
23 not be required to provide documentation or certification as
24 proof or in support of the leave. An employee may choose
25 whether to use paid leave provided under this Act prior to
26 using any other leave provided by the employer or State law.
SB2394 Enrolled - 2988 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 (f) Employees shall be paid their hourly rate of pay for
2 paid leave. However, employees engaged in an occupation in
3 which gratuities or commissions have customarily and usually
4 constituted and have been recognized as part of the
5 remuneration for hire purposes shall be paid by their employer
6 at least the full minimum wage in the jurisdiction in which
7 they are employed when paid leave is taken. This wage shall be
8 treated as the employee's regular rate of pay for purposes of
9 this Act.
10 (g) Paid leave under this Act shall begin to accrue at the
11 commencement of employment or on the effective date of this
12 Act, whichever is later. Employees shall be entitled to begin
13 using paid leave 90 days following commencement of their
14 employment or 90 days following the effective date of this
15 Act, whichever is later.
16 (h) Paid leave under this Act shall be provided upon the
17 oral or written request of an employee in accordance with the
18 employer's reasonable paid leave policy notification
19 requirements which may include the following:
20 (1) If use of paid leave under this Act is
21 foreseeable, the employer may require the employee to
22 provide 7 calendar days' notice before the date the leave
23 is to begin.
24 (2) If paid leave under this Act is not foreseeable,
25 the employee shall provide such notice as soon as is
26 practicable after the employee is aware of the necessity
SB2394 Enrolled - 2989 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 of the leave. An employer that requires notice of paid
2 leave under this Act when the leave is not foreseeable
3 shall provide a written policy that contains procedures
4 for the employee to provide notice.
5 (3) Employers shall provide employees with written
6 notice of the paid leave policy notification requirements
7 in this Section in the manner provided in Section 20 for
8 notice and posting and within 5 calendar days of any
9 change to the employer's reasonable paid leave policy
10 notification requirements.
11 (4) An employer may not require, as a condition of
12 providing paid leave under this Act, that the employee
13 search for or find a replacement worker to cover the hours
14 during which the employee takes paid leave.
15 (i) Except as provided in subsection (c), paid leave under
16 this Act shall carry over annually to the extent not used by
17 the employee, provided that nothing in this Act shall be
18 construed to require an employer to provide more than 40 hours
19 of paid leave for an employee in the 12-month period unless the
20 employer agrees to do so.
21 (j) Nothing in this Section or any other Illinois law or
22 rule shall be construed as requiring financial or other
23 payment to an employee from an employer upon the employee's
24 termination, resignation, retirement, or other separation from
25 employment for paid leave accrued under this Act that has not
26 been used. Nothing in this Section or any other Illinois law or
SB2394 Enrolled - 2990 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 rule shall be construed as requiring financial or other
2 reimbursements to an employee from an employer for unused paid
3 leave under this Act at the end of the benefit year or any
4 other time.
5 (k) If an employee is transferred to a separate division,
6 entity, or location, but remains employed by the same
7 employer, the employee is entitled to all paid leave accrued
8 at the prior division, entity, or location and is entitled to
9 use all paid leave as provided in this Section. If there is a
10 separation from employment and the employee is rehired within
11 12 months of separation by the same employer, previously
12 accrued paid leave that had not been used by the employee shall
13 be reinstated. The employee shall be entitled to use accrued
14 paid leave at the commencement of employment following a
15 separation from employment of 12 months or less.
16 (l) Paid leave under this Act shall not be charged or
17 otherwise credited to an employee's paid time off bank or
18 employee account unless the employer's policy permits such a
19 credit. If the paid leave under this Act is credited to an
20 employee's paid time off bank or employee vacation account
21 then any unused paid leave shall be paid to the employee upon
22 the employee's termination, resignation, retirement, or other
23 separation to the same extent as vacation time under existing
24 Illinois law or rule. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to
25 waive or otherwise limit an employee's right to final
26 compensation for promised and earned, but unpaid vacation time
SB2394 Enrolled - 2991 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 or paid time off, as provided under the Illinois Wage Payment
2 and Collection Act and rules. Employers shall provide
3 employees with written notice of changes to the employer's
4 vacation time, paid time off, or other paid leave policies
5 that affect an employee's right to final compensation for such
6 leave.
7 (m) During any period an employee takes leave under this
8 Act, the employer shall maintain coverage for the employee and
9 any family member under any group health plan for the duration
10 of such leave at no less than the level and conditions of
11 coverage that would have been provided if the employee had not
12 taken the leave. The employer shall notify the employee that
13 the employee is still responsible for paying the employee's
14 share of the cost of the health care coverage, if any.
15 (n) Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to interfere with,
16 impede, or in any way diminish the right of employees to
17 bargain collectively with their employers through
18 representatives of their own choosing in order to establish
19 wages or other conditions of work in excess of the applicable
20 minimum standards established in this Act. The paid leave
21 requirements of this Act may be waived in a bona fide
22 collective bargaining agreement, but only if the waiver is set
23 forth explicitly in such agreement in clear and unambiguous
24 terms.
25 Nothing in this Act shall be deemed to affect the validity
26 or change the terms of bona fide collective bargaining
SB2394 Enrolled - 2992 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 agreements in effect on January 1, 2024. After that date,
2 requirements of this Act may be waived in a bona fide
3 collective bargaining agreement, but only if the waiver is set
4 forth explicitly in such agreement in clear and unambiguous
5 terms.
6 In no event shall this Act apply to any employee working in
7 the construction industry who is covered by a bona fide
8 collective bargaining agreement, nor shall this Act apply to
9 any employee who is covered by a bona fide collective
10 bargaining agreement with an employer that provides services
11 nationally and internationally of delivery, pickup, and
12 transportation of parcels, documents, and freight.
13 Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, nothing
14 in this Act shall be deemed to affect the validity or change
15 the terms of a bona fide collective bargaining agreement
16 applying to an employee who is employed by a State agency that
17 is in effect on July 1, 2024. After that date, requirements of
18 this Act may be waived in a bona fide collective bargaining
19 agreement, but only if the waiver is set forth explicitly in
20 such agreement in clear and unambiguous terms. As used in this
21 subsection, "State agency" has the same meaning as set forth
22 in Section 4 of the Forms Notice Act.
23 (o) An agreement by an employee to waive his or her rights
24 under this Act is void as against public policy.
25 (p) The provisions of this Act shall not apply to any
26 employer that is covered by a municipal or county ordinance
SB2394 Enrolled - 2993 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 that is in effect on the effective date of this Act that
2 requires employers to give any form of paid leave to their
3 employees, including paid sick leave or paid leave.
4 Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, any
5 employer that is not required to provide paid leave to its
6 employees, including paid sick leave or paid leave, under a
7 municipal or county ordinance that is in effect on the
8 effective date of this Act shall be subject to the provisions
9 of this Act if the employer would be required to provide paid
10 leave under this Act to its employees.
11 Any local ordinance that provides paid leave, including
12 paid sick leave or paid leave, enacted or amended after the
13 effective date of this Act must comply with the requirements
14 of this Act or provide benefits, rights, and remedies that are
15 greater than or equal to the benefits, rights, and remedies
16 afforded under this Act.
17 An employer in a municipality or county that enacts or
18 amends a local ordinance that provides paid leave, including
19 paid sick leave or paid leave, after the effective date of this
20 Act shall only comply with the local ordinance or ordinances
21 so long as the benefits, rights, and remedies are greater than
22 or equal to the benefits, rights, and remedies afforded under
23 this Act.

3 (820 ILCS 206/35)
4 Sec. 35. Employer requirements.
5 (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to employ, allow,
6 or permit any minor to work unless the minor obtains an
7 employment certificate authorizing the minor to work for that
8 person. Any person seeking to employ, allow, or permit any
9 minor to work shall provide that minor with a notice of
10 intention to employ to be submitted by the minor to the minor's
11 school issuing officer with the minor's application for an
12 employment certificate.
13 (b) Every employer of one or more minors shall maintain,
14 on the premises where the work is being done, records that
15 include the name, date of birth, and place of residence of
16 every minor who works for that employer, notice of intention
17 to employ the minor, and the minor's employment certificate.

22 without notice at any time.
23 (c) Every employer of minors shall ensure that all minors

14 provide the summary and notice by email to its employees or
15 conspicuous posting on the employer's website or intranet

26 except on the presentation of a new statement of intention to

16 application:
17 (A) A statement of intention to employ signed by
18 the prospective employer, or by someone duly
19 authorized by the prospective employer, setting forth
20 the specific nature of the occupation in which the
21 prospective employer intends to employ the minor and
22 the exact hours of the day and number of hours per day
23 and days per week during which the minor shall be
24 employed.
25 (B) Evidence of age showing that the minor is of
26 the age required by this Act, which evidence shall be
SB2394 Enrolled - 2998 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 documentary, and shall be required in the order
2 designated, as follows:
3 (i) a birth certificate; or
4 (ii) if a birth certificate is unavailable,
5 the parent or legal guardian may present other
6 reliable proof of the minor's identity and age
7 that is supported by a sworn statement explaining
8 why the birth certificate is not available. Other
9 reliable proof of the minor's identity and age
10 includes a passport, visa, or other governmental
11 documentation of the minor's identity. If the
12 student was not born in the United States, the
13 school issuing officer must accept birth
14 certificates or other reliable proof from a
15 foreign government.
16 (C) A statement on a form approved by the
17 Department and signed by the school issuing officer,
18 showing the minor's name, address, grade last

26 the Department, the minor's employer, and the minor's
SB2394 Enrolled - 2999 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 parent or legal guardian. If the minor does not have a
2 permanent home address or is otherwise eligible for
3 services under the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless
4 Assistance Act, the lack of a birth certificate or
5 permanent home address alone shall not be a barrier to
6 receiving an employment certificate.
7 (D) A statement of physical fitness signed by a
8 health care professional who has examined the minor,
9 certifying that the minor is physically fit to be
10 employed in all legal occupations or to be employed in
11 legal occupations under limitations specified, or, at
12 the discretion of the school issuing officer, the
13 minor's most recent school physical. If the statement
14 of physical fitness is limited, the employment
15 certificate issued thereon shall state clearly the
16 limitations upon its use, and shall be valid only when
17 used under the limitations so stated. In any case
18 where the health care professional deems it advisable
19 that he or she may issue a certificate of physical
20 fitness for a specified period of time, at the
21 expiration of which the person for whom it was issued
22 shall appear and be re-examined before being permitted
23 to continue work. Examinations shall be made in
24 accordance with the standards and procedures
25 prescribed by the Director, in consultation with the
26 Director of the Department of Public Health and the
SB2394 Enrolled - 3000 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 State Superintendent of Education, and shall be
2 recorded on a form furnished by the Department. When
3 made by public health or public school physicians, the
4 examination shall be made without charge to the minor.
5 If a public health or public school health care
6 professional is not available, a statement from a
7 private health care professional who has examined the
8 minor may be accepted, provided that the examination
9 is made in accordance with the standards and
10 procedures established by the Department. For purposes
11 of this paragraph, "health care professional" means a
12 physician licensed to practice medicine in all its
13 branches, a licensed advanced practice registered
14 nurse, or a licensed physician assistant.
15 (5) The school issuing officer shall have authority to
16 verify the representations provided in the employment
17 certificate application as required by Section 55. A
18 school issuing officer shall not charge a fee for the
19 consideration of an employment certificate application.
20 (6) It shall be the duty of the school board or local
21 school authority to designate a place or places where
22 certificates shall be issued and recorded, and physical
23 examinations made without fee, and to establish and
24 maintain the necessary records and clerical services for
25 carrying out the provisions of this Act.
26 (c) Upon receipt of an application for an employment
SB2394 Enrolled - 3001 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 certificate, a school issuing officer shall issue an
2 employment certificate only after examining and approving the
3 written application and other papers required under this
4 Section, and determining that the employment shall not be
5 detrimental to the minor's health, welfare, and education. The
6 school issuing officer shall consider any report of death,
7 injury, or illness of a minor at that workplace, received
8 under the requirements of Section 35, in the prior 2 years in
9 determining whether the employment shall be detrimental to the
10 minor's health, welfare, and education. Upon issuing an
11 employment certificate to a minor, the school issuing officer
12 shall notify the principal of the school attended by the
13 minor, and provide copies to the Department, the minor's
14 employer, and the minor's parent or legal guardian. The
15 employment certificate shall be valid for a period of one year
16 from the date of issuance, unless suspended or revoked.
17 (d) If the school issuing officer refuses to issue a
18 certificate to a minor, the school issuing officer shall send
19 to the principal of the school attended by the minor a notice
20 of the refusal, including the name and address of the minor and
21 of the minor's parent or legal guardian, and the reason for the
22 refusal to issue the certificate.
23 (e) If a minor from another state seeks to obtain an
24 Illinois employment certificate, the Department shall work
25 with the State Superintendent of Education, or his or her duly
26 authorized agents, to issue the certificate if the State
SB2394 Enrolled - 3002 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 Superintendent of Education deems that all requirements for
2 issuance have been met.
3 (f) Upon request, the school issuing officer shall issue a
4 certificate of age to any person between 16 and 20 years of age
5 upon presentation of the same proof of age as is required for
6 the issuance of employment certificates under this Act.
7 (g) Any certificate duly issued in accordance with this
8 Act shall be prima facie evidence of the age of the minor for
9 whom it was issued in any proceeding involving the employment
10 of the minor under this Act, as to any act occurring subsequent
11 to its issuance, or until revoked.
12 (h) The Department may suspend any certificate as an
13 emergency action imperatively required for the health, safety,
14 welfare, or education of the minor if:
15 (1) the parent or legal guardian of a minor, the
16 school issuing officer, or the principal of the school
17 attended by the minor for whom an employment certificate
18 has been issued has asked for the revocation of the
19 certificate by petition to the Department in writing,
20 stating the reasons he or she believes that the employment
21 is interfering with the health, safety, welfare, or
22 education of the minor; or
23 (2) in the judgment of the Director, the employment
24 certificate was improperly issued or if the minor is
25 illegally employed.
26 If the certificate is suspended, the Department shall
SB2394 Enrolled - 3003 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 notify the employer of the minor, the parent or guardian of the
2 minor, the minor's school principal, and the school issuing
3 officer of the suspension in writing and shall schedule an
4 administrative hearing to take place within 21 days after the
5 date of any suspension. The minor shall not thereafter be
6 employed, allowed, or permitted to work unless and until his
7 or her employment certificate has been reinstated. After the
8 hearing, an administrative law judge shall issue a final order
9 either reinstating or revoking the employment certificate. If
10 the certificate is revoked, the employer shall not thereafter
11 employ, permit, or allow the minor to work until the minor has
12 obtained a new employment certificate authorizing the minor's
13 employment by that employer.

12 Sec. 7. The amount of compensation which shall be paid for
13 an accidental injury to the employee resulting in death is:
14 (a) If the employee leaves surviving a widow, widower,
15 child or children, the applicable weekly compensation rate
16 computed in accordance with subparagraph 2 of paragraph (b) of
17 Section 8, shall be payable during the life of the widow or
18 widower and if any surviving child or children shall not be
19 physically or mentally incapacitated then until the death of
20 the widow or widower or until the youngest child shall reach
21 the age of 18, whichever shall come later; provided that if
22 such child or children shall be enrolled as a full-time full
23 time student in any accredited educational institution, the
24 payments shall continue until such child has attained the age

3 continue for the duration of such incapacity.
4 The term "child" means a child whom the deceased employee
5 left surviving, including a posthumous child, a child legally
6 adopted, a child whom the deceased employee was legally
7 obligated to support or a child to whom the deceased employee

10 The term "physically or mentally incapacitated child or
11 children" means a child or children incapable of engaging in
12 regular and substantial gainful employment.
13 In the event of the remarriage of a widow or widower, where

16 compensation benefits under this Act, the surviving spouse
17 shall be paid a lump sum equal to 2 years compensation benefits
18 and all further rights of such widow or widower shall be
19 extinguished.
20 If the employee leaves surviving any child or children
21 under 18 years of age who at the time of death shall be
22 entitled to compensation under this paragraph (a) of this
23 Section, the weekly compensation payments herein provided for
24 such child or children shall in any event continue for a period
25 of not less than 6 years.
26 Any beneficiary entitled to compensation under this
SB2394 Enrolled - 3006 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 paragraph (a) of this Section shall receive from the special
2 fund provided in paragraph (f) of this Section, in addition to
3 the compensation herein provided, supplemental benefits in

7 parents who at the time of the accident were totally dependent
8 upon the earnings of the employee then weekly payments equal

10 employee leaves surviving a widow or widower, shall be paid to
11 such parent or parents for the duration of their lives, and in
12 the event of the death of either, for the life of the survivor.
13 (c) If no compensation is payable under paragraph
14 paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section and the employee leaves
15 surviving any child or children who are not entitled to
16 compensation under the foregoing paragraph (a) but who at the
17 time of the accident were nevertheless in any manner dependent
18 upon the earnings of the employee, or leaves surviving a
19 parent or parents who at the time of the accident were
20 partially dependent upon the earnings of the employee, then
21 there shall be paid to such dependent or dependents for a
22 period of 8 years weekly compensation payments at such
23 proportion of the applicable rate if the employee had left
24 surviving a widow or widower as such dependency bears to total
25 dependency. In the event of the death of any such beneficiary
26 the share of such beneficiary shall be divided equally among
SB2394 Enrolled - 3007 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 the surviving beneficiaries and in the event of the death of
2 the last such beneficiary all the rights under this paragraph
3 shall be extinguished.
4 (d) If no compensation is payable under paragraph
5 paragraphs (a), (b), or (c) of this Section and the employee
6 leaves surviving any grandparent, grandparents, grandchild or
7 grandchildren or collateral heirs dependent upon the
8 employee's earnings to the extent of 50% or more of total
9 dependency, then there shall be paid to such dependent or
10 dependents for a period of 5 years weekly compensation
11 payments at such proportion of the applicable rate if the

19 which results in death, as provided in this Section, shall be
20 paid to the persons who form the basis for determining the
21 amount of compensation to be paid by the employer, the
22 respective shares to be in the proportion of their respective
23 dependency at the time of the accident on the earnings of the
24 deceased. The Commission or an Arbitrator thereof may, in its
25 or his discretion, order or award the payment to the parent or
26 grandparent of a child for the latter's support the amount of
SB2394 Enrolled - 3008 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b

9 examinations, testimony, and transcript of evidence, incurred
10 by the State Treasurer or his duly authorized representative,
11 shall be borne by the Second Injury Fund.
12 If the award is not paid within 30 days after the date the
13 award has become final, the Commission shall proceed to take
14 judgment thereon in its own name as is provided for other
15 awards by paragraph (g) of Section 19 of this Act and take the
16 necessary steps to collect the award.
17 Any person, corporation or organization who has paid or
18 become liable for the payment of burial expenses of the
19 deceased employee may in his or its own name institute
20 proceedings before the Commission for the collection thereof.
21 For the purpose of administration, receipts and
22 disbursements, the Special Fund provided for in paragraph (f)
23 of this Section shall be administered jointly with the Special
24 Fund provided for in paragraph (f) of Section 7, paragraph (f)
25 of the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act.
26 (g) All compensation, except for burial expenses provided
SB2394 Enrolled - 3016 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 in this Section to be paid in case accident results in death,
2 shall be paid in installments equal to the percentage of the
3 average earnings as provided for in paragraph (b) of Section
4 8, paragraph (b) of this Act, at the same intervals at which
5 the wages or earnings of the employees were paid. If this is
6 not feasible, then the installments shall be paid weekly. Such
7 compensation may be paid in a lump sum upon petition as
8 provided in Section 9 of this Act. However, in addition to the
9 benefits provided by Section 9 of this Act where compensation
10 for death is payable to the deceased's widow, widower or to the
11 deceased's widow, widower and one or more children, and where
12 a partial lump sum is applied for by such beneficiary or
13 beneficiaries within 18 months after the deceased's death, the
14 Commission may, in its discretion, grant a partial lump sum of
15 not to exceed 100 weeks of the compensation capitalized at
16 their present value upon the basis of interest calculated at
17 3% per annum with annual rests, upon a showing that such
18 partial lump sum is for the best interest of such beneficiary
19 or beneficiaries.
20 (h) In case the injured employee is under 16 years of age
21 at the time of the accident and is illegally employed, the
22 amount of compensation payable under paragraphs (a), (b), (c),
23 (d), and (f) of this Section shall be increased 50%.
24 Nothing herein contained repeals or amends the provisions
25 of the Child Labor Law of 2024 relating to the employment of
26 minors under the age of 16 years.
SB2394 Enrolled - 3017 - LRB104 09208 AMC 19265 b
1 However, where an employer has on file an employment
2 certificate issued pursuant to the Child Labor Law of 2024 or
3 work permit issued pursuant to the Federal Fair Labor
4 Standards Act, as amended, or a birth certificate properly and
5 duly issued, such certificate, permit or birth certificate is
6 conclusive evidence as to the age of the injured minor
7 employee for the purposes of this Section only.
8 (i) Whenever the dependents of a deceased employee are
9 noncitizens not residing in the United States, Mexico or
10 Canada, the amount of compensation payable is limited to the
11 beneficiaries described in paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of
12 this Section and is 50% of the compensation provided in
13 paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this Section, except as
14 otherwise provided by treaty.
15 In a case where any of the persons who would be entitled to
16 compensation is living at any place outside of the United
17 States, then payment shall be made to the personal
18 representative of the deceased employee. The distribution by
19 such personal representative to the persons entitled shall be
20 made to such persons and in such manner as the Commission
21 orders.
