5		retail charge agreement within the meaning of
6		the Sales Finance Agency Act, the Retail
7		Installment Sales Act, or the Motor Vehicle
8		Retail Installment Sales Act;
9		(b) an installment, charge, credit, or
10		similar contract or agreement arising from the
11		sale of tangible personal property or services
12		in a transaction involving a deferred payment
13		price payable in one or more installments
14		subsequent to the sale; or
15		(c) the outstanding balance of a contract
16		or agreement described in provisions (a) or
17		(b) of this item (i).
18		A customer receivable need not provide for
19		payment of interest on deferred payments. A sales
20		finance company may purchase a customer receivable
21		from, or make a loan secured by a customer
22		receivable to, the seller in the original
23		transaction or to a person who purchased the
24		customer receivable directly or indirectly from
25		that seller.
26		(ii) A corporation meeting each of the

SB3865 Enrolled - 21 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		following criteria:
2		(a) the corporation must be a member of an
3		"affiliated group" within the meaning of
4		Section 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code,
5		determined without regard to Section 1504(b)
6		of the Internal Revenue Code;
7		(b) more than 50% of the gross income of
8		the corporation for the taxable year must be
9		interest income derived from qualifying loans.
10		A "qualifying loan" is a loan made to a member
11		of the corporation's affiliated group that
12		originates customer receivables (within the
13		meaning of item (i)) or to whom customer
14		receivables originated by a member of the
15		affiliated group have been transferred, to the
16		extent the average outstanding balance of
17		loans from that corporation to members of its
18		affiliated group during the taxable year do
19		not exceed the limitation amount for that
20		corporation. The "limitation amount" for a
21		corporation is the average outstanding
22		balances during the taxable year of customer
23		receivables (within the meaning of item (i))
24		originated by all members of the affiliated
25		group. If the average outstanding balances of
26		the loans made by a corporation to members of

SB3865 Enrolled - 22 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		its affiliated group exceed the limitation
2		amount, the interest income of that
3		corporation from qualifying loans shall be
4		equal to its interest income from loans to
5		members of its affiliated groups times a
6		fraction equal to the limitation amount
7		divided by the average outstanding balances of
8		the loans made by that corporation to members
9		of its affiliated group;
10		(c) the total of all shareholder's equity
11		(including, without limitation, paid-in
12		capital on common and preferred stock and
13		retained earnings) of the corporation plus the
14		total of all of its loans, advances, and other
15		obligations payable or owed to members of its
16		affiliated group may not exceed 20% of the
17		total assets of the corporation at any time
18		during the tax year; and
19		(d) more than 50% of all interest-bearing
20		obligations of the affiliated group payable to
21		persons outside the group determined in
22		accordance with generally accepted accounting
23		principles must be obligations of the
24		corporation.
25		This amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly
26		is declaratory of existing law.

SB3865 Enrolled - 23 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		(D) Subparagraphs (B) and (C) of this paragraph
2		are declaratory of existing law and apply
3		retroactively, for all tax years beginning on or
4		before December 31, 1996, to all original returns, to
5		all amended returns filed no later than 30 days after
6		the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1996, and
7		to all notices issued on or before the effective date
8		of this amendatory Act of 1996 under subsection (a) of
9		Section 903, subsection (a) of Section 904, subsection
10		(e) of Section 909, or Section 912. A taxpayer that is
11		a "financial organization" that engages in any
12		transaction with an affiliate shall be a "financial
13		organization" for all purposes of this Act.
14		(E) For all tax years beginning on or before
15		December 31, 1996, a taxpayer that falls within the
16		definition of a "financial organization" under
17		subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph, but who
18		does not fall within the definition of a "financial
19		organization" under the Proposed Regulations issued by
20		the Department of Revenue on July 19, 1996, may
21		irrevocably elect to apply the Proposed Regulations
22		for all of those years as though the Proposed
23		Regulations had been lawfully promulgated, adopted,
24		and in effect for all of those years. For purposes of
25		applying subparagraphs (B) or (C) of this paragraph to
26		all of those years, the election allowed by this

SB3865 Enrolled - 24 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		subparagraph applies only to the taxpayer making the
2		election and to those members of the taxpayer's
3		unitary business group who are ordinarily required to
4		apportion business income under the same subsection of
5		Section 304 of this Act as the taxpayer making the
6		election. No election allowed by this subparagraph
7		shall be made under a claim filed under subsection (d)
8		of Section 909 more than 30 days after the effective
9		date of this amendatory Act of 1996.
10		(F) Finance Leases. For purposes of this
11		subsection, a finance lease shall be treated as a loan
12		or other extension of credit, rather than as a lease,
13		regardless of how the transaction is characterized for
14		any other purpose, including the purposes of any
15		regulatory agency to which the lessor is subject. A
16		finance lease is any transaction in the form of a lease
17		in which the lessee is treated as the owner of the
18		leased asset entitled to any deduction for
19		depreciation allowed under Section 167 of the Internal
20		Revenue Code.

20		activities as an investment partnership;

1		will not include those members whose business activity
2		outside the United States is 80% or more of any such
3		member's total business activity; for purposes of this
4		paragraph and clause (a)(3)(B)(ii) of Section 304,
5		business activity within the United States shall be
6		measured by means of the factors ordinarily applicable
7		under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), or (h) of
8		Section 304 except that, in the case of members
9		ordinarily required to apportion business income by
10		means of the 3 factor formula of property, payroll and
11		sales specified in subsection (a) of Section 304,
12		including the formula as weighted in subsection (h) of
13		Section 304, such members shall not use the sales
14		factor in the computation and the results of the
15		property and payroll factor computations of subsection
16		(a) of Section 304 shall be divided by 2 (by one if
17		either the property or payroll factor has a
18		denominator of zero). The computation required by the
19		preceding sentence shall, in each case, involve the
20		division of the member's property, payroll, or revenue
21		miles in the United States, insurance premiums on
22		property or risk in the United States, or financial
23		organization business income from sources within the
24		United States, as the case may be, by the respective
25		worldwide figures for such items. Common ownership in
26		the case of corporations is the direct or indirect

SB3865 Enrolled - 34 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		control or ownership of more than 50% of the
2		outstanding voting stock of the persons carrying on
3		unitary business activity. Unitary business activity
4		can ordinarily be illustrated where the activities of
5		the members are: (1) in the same general line (such as
6		manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing of tangible
7		personal property, insurance, transportation or
8		finance); or (2) are steps in a vertically structured
9		enterprise or process (such as the steps involved in
10		the production of natural resources, which might
11		include exploration, mining, refining, and marketing);
12		and, in either instance, the members are functionally
13		integrated through the exercise of strong centralized
14		management (where, for example, authority over such
15		matters as purchasing, financing, tax compliance,
16		product line, personnel, marketing and capital
17		investment is not left to each member).
18		(B) In no event, for taxable years ending prior to
19		December 31, 2017, shall any unitary business group
20		include members which are ordinarily required to
21		apportion business income under different subsections
22		of Section 304 except that for tax years ending on or
23		after December 31, 1987 this prohibition shall not
24		apply to a holding company that would otherwise be a
25		member of a unitary business group with taxpayers that
26		apportion business income under any of subsections

SB3865 Enrolled - 35 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		(b), (c), (c-1), or (d) of Section 304. If a unitary
2		business group would, but for the preceding sentence,
3		include members that are ordinarily required to
4		apportion business income under different subsections
5		of Section 304, then for each subsection of Section
6		304 for which there are two or more members, there
7		shall be a separate unitary business group composed of
8		such members. For purposes of the preceding two
9		sentences, a member is "ordinarily required to
10		apportion business income" under a particular
11		subsection of Section 304 if it would be required to
12		use the apportionment method prescribed by such
13		subsection except for the fact that it derives
14		business income solely from Illinois. As used in this
15		paragraph, for taxable years ending before December
16		31, 2017, the phrase "United States" means only the 50
17		states and the District of Columbia, but does not
18		include any territory or possession of the United
19		States or any area over which the United States has
20		asserted jurisdiction or claimed exclusive rights with
21		respect to the exploration for or exploitation of
22		natural resources. For taxable years ending on or
23		after December 31, 2017, the phrase "United States",
24		as used in this paragraph, means only the 50 states,
25		the District of Columbia, and any area over which the
26		United States has asserted jurisdiction or claimed

SB3865 Enrolled - 36 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		exclusive rights with respect to the exploration for
2		or exploitation of natural resources, but does not
3		include any territory or possession of the United
4		States.
5		(C) Holding companies.
6		(i) For purposes of this subparagraph, a
7		"holding company" is a corporation (other than a
8		corporation that is a financial organization under
9		paragraph (8) of this subsection (a) of Section
10		1501 because it is a bank holding company under
11		the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of
12		1956 (12 U.S.C. 1841, et seq.) or because it is
13		owned by a bank or a bank holding company) that
14		owns a controlling interest in one or more other
15		taxpayers ("controlled taxpayers"); that, during
16		the period that includes the taxable year and the
17		2 immediately preceding taxable years or, if the
18		corporation was formed during the current or
19		immediately preceding taxable year, the taxable
20		years in which the corporation has been in
21		existence, derived substantially all its gross
22		income from dividends, interest, rents, royalties,
23		fees or other charges received from controlled
24		taxpayers for the provision of services, and gains
25		on the sale or other disposition of interests in
26		controlled taxpayers or in property leased or

SB3865 Enrolled - 37 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		licensed to controlled taxpayers or used by the
2		taxpayer in providing services to controlled
3		taxpayers; and that incurs no substantial expenses
4		other than expenses (including interest and other
5		costs of borrowing) incurred in connection with
6		the acquisition and holding of interests in
7		controlled taxpayers and in the provision of
8		services to controlled taxpayers or in the leasing
9		or licensing of property to controlled taxpayers.
10		(ii) The income of a holding company which is
11		a member of more than one unitary business group
12		shall be included in each unitary business group
13		of which it is a member on a pro rata basis, by
14		including in each unitary business group that
15		portion of the base income of the holding company
16		that bears the same proportion to the total base
17		income of the holding company as the gross
18		receipts of the unitary business group bears to
19		the combined gross receipts of all unitary
20		business groups (in both cases without regard to
21		the holding company) or on any other reasonable
22		basis, consistently applied.
23		(iii) A holding company shall apportion its
24		business income under the subsection of Section
25		304 used by the other members of its unitary
26		business group. The apportionment factors of a

SB3865 Enrolled - 38 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		holding company which would be a member of more
2		than one unitary business group shall be included
3		with the apportionment factors of each unitary
4		business group of which it is a member on a pro
5		rata basis using the same method used in clause
6		(ii).
7		(iv) The provisions of this subparagraph (C)
8		are intended to clarify existing law.
9		(D) If including the base income and factors of a
10		holding company in more than one unitary business
11		group under subparagraph (C) does not fairly reflect
12		the degree of integration between the holding company
13		and one or more of the unitary business groups, the
14		dependence of the holding company and one or more of
15		the unitary business groups upon each other, or the
16		contributions between the holding company and one or
17		more of the unitary business groups, the holding
18		company may petition the Director, under the
19		procedures provided under Section 304(f), for
20		permission to include all base income and factors of
21		the holding company only with members of a unitary
22		business group apportioning their business income
23		under one subsection of subsections (a), (b), (c), or
24		(d) of Section 304. If the petition is granted, the

12		(3) that he or she has superior capacity to profit by a
13		higher education; and
14		(4) that he or she agrees to teach in Illinois schools
15		in accordance with subsection (b).
16		No rule or regulation promulgated by the State Board of
17		Education prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act
18		of 1993 pursuant to the exercise of any right, power, duty,
19		responsibility or matter of pending business transferred from
20		the State Board of Education to the Commission under this
21		Section shall be affected thereby, and all such rules and
22		regulations shall become the rules and regulations of the
23		Commission until modified or changed by the Commission in
24		accordance with law.
25		If in any year the number of qualified applicants exceeds
26		the number of scholarships to be awarded, the Commission shall

SB3865 Enrolled - 55 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		give priority in awarding scholarships to students in
2		financial need. The Commission shall consider factors such as
3		the applicant's family income, the size of the applicant's

5		family attending college in determining the financial need of
6		the individual.
7		Unless otherwise indicated, these scholarships shall be
8		good for a period of up to 4 years while the recipient is
9		enrolled for residence credit at a public or private
10		university or college or at a community college. The

23		date of this amendatory Act of 1993, shall teach in any school
24		in this State for at least 4 of the 7 years immediately
25		following his or her graduation or termination. If the
26		recipient spends up to 4 years in military service before or

SB3865 Enrolled - 56 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		after he or she graduates, the period of military service
2		shall be excluded from the computation of that 7 year period. A

5		period of graduate study excluded from the computation of that
6		7 year period.
7		Any person who fails to fulfill the teaching requirement
8		shall pay to the Commission an amount equal to one-fourth of
9		the scholarship received for each unfulfilled year of the
10		4-year teaching requirement, together with interest at 8% per
11		year on that amount. However, this obligation to repay does
12		not apply when the failure to fulfill the teaching requirement
13		results from involuntarily leaving the profession due to a
14		decrease in the number of teachers employed by the school
15		board or a discontinuation of a type of teaching service under
16		Section 24-12 of the School Code or from the death or
17		adjudication as incompetent of the person holding the
18		scholarship. No claim for repayment may be filed against the
19		estate of such a decedent or incompetent.
20		Each person applying for such a scholarship shall be
21		provided with a copy of this subsection at the time he or she
22		applies for the benefits of such scholarship.
23		(c) This Section is substantially the same as Sections
24		30-14.5 and 30-14.6 of the School Code, which are repealed by
25		this amendatory Act of 1993, and shall be construed as a
26		continuation of the teacher training undergraduate scholarship

SB3865 Enrolled - 57 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		program established by that prior law, and not as a new or
2		different teacher training undergraduate scholarship program.

22		Professional Educator License scholarship.
23		(a) Subject to appropriation, beginning with awards for
24		the 2022-2023 academic year, the Commission shall award
25		annually up to 250 Post-Master of Social Work School Social

SB3865 Enrolled - 58 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		Work Professional Educator License scholarships to a person
2		who:
3		(1) holds a valid Illinois-licensed clinical social
4		work license or social work license;
5		(2) has obtained a master's degree in social work from
6		an approved program;
7		(3) is a United States citizen or eligible noncitizen;
8		and
9		(4) submits an application to the Commission for such
10		scholarship and agrees to take courses to obtain an
11		Illinois Professional Educator License with an endorsement
12		in School Social Work.
13		(b) If an appropriation for this Section for a given
14		fiscal year is insufficient to provide scholarships to all
15		qualified applicants, the Commission shall allocate the
16		appropriation in accordance with this subsection (b). If funds
17		are insufficient to provide all qualified applicants with a
18		scholarship as authorized by this Section, the Commission
19		shall allocate the available scholarship funds for that fiscal
20		year to qualified applicants who submit a complete application
21		on or before a date specified by the Commission, based on the
22		following order of priority:
23		(1) firstly, to students who received a scholarship
24		under this Section in the prior academic year and who
25		remain eligible for a scholarship under this Section;
26		(2) secondly, to new, qualified applicants who are

SB3865 Enrolled - 59 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		members of a racial minority, as defined in subsection
2		(c); and
3		(3) finally, to other new, qualified applicants in
4		accordance with this Section.
5		(c) Scholarships awarded under this Section shall be
6		issued pursuant to rules adopted by the Commission. In
7		awarding scholarships, the Commission shall give priority to
8		those applicants who are members of a racial minority. Racial
9		minorities are underrepresented as school social workers in
10		elementary and secondary schools in this State, and the
11		General Assembly finds that it is in the interest of this State
12		to provide them with priority consideration for programs that
13		encourage their participation in this field and thereby foster
14		a profession that is more reflective of the diversity of
15		Illinois students and the parents they will serve. A more
16		reflective workforce in school social work allows improved
17		outcomes for students and a better utilization of services.
18		Therefore, the Commission shall give priority to those
19		applicants who are members of a racial minority. In this
20		subsection (c), "racial minority" means a person who is a
21		citizen of the United States or a lawful permanent resident
22		alien of the United States and who is:
23		(1) Black (a person having origins in any of the black
24		racial groups in Africa);
25		(2) Hispanic (a person of Spanish or Portuguese
26		culture with origins in Mexico, South or Central America,

SB3865 Enrolled - 60 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		or the Caribbean Islands, regardless of race);
2		(3) Asian American (a person having origins in any of
3		the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, the
4		Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); or
5		(4) American Indian or Alaskan Native (a person having
6		origins in any of the original peoples of North America).
7		(d) Each scholarship shall be applied to the payment of
8		tuition and mandatory fees at the University of Illinois,
9		Southern Illinois University, Chicago State University,
10		Eastern Illinois University, Governors State University,
11		Illinois State University, Northeastern Illinois University,
12		Northern Illinois University, and Western Illinois University.
13		Each scholarship may be applied to pay tuition and mandatory
14		fees required to obtain an Illinois Professional Educator
15		License with an endorsement in School Social Work.
16		(e) The Commission shall make tuition and fee payments
17		directly to the qualified institution of higher learning that
18		the applicant attends.
19		(f) Any person who has accepted a scholarship under this
20		Section must, within one year after graduation or termination
21		of enrollment in a Post-Master of Social Work Professional
22		Education License with an endorsement in School Social Work
23		program, begin working as a school social worker at a public or
24		nonpublic not-for-profit preschool, elementary school, or
25		secondary school located in this State for at least 2 of the 5
26		years immediately following that graduation or termination,

SB3865 Enrolled - 61 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		excluding, however, from the computation of that 5-year
2		period: (i) any time up to 3 years spent in the military
3		service, whether such service occurs before or after the
4		person graduates; (ii) the time that person is a person with a
5		temporary total disability for a period of time not to exceed 3
6		years, as established by the sworn affidavit of a qualified
7		physician; and (iii) the time that person is seeking and
8		unable to find full-time employment as a school social worker
9		at a State public or nonpublic not-for-profit preschool,
10		elementary school, or secondary school.
11		(g) If a recipient of a scholarship under this Section
12		fails to fulfill the work obligation set forth in subsection
13		(f), the Commission shall require the recipient to repay the
14		amount of the scholarships received, prorated according to the
15		fraction of the obligation not completed, at a rate of
16		interest equal to 5%, and, if applicable, reasonable
17		collection fees. The Commission is authorized to establish
18		rules relating to its collection activities for repayment of
19		scholarships under this Section. All repayments collected
20		under this Section shall be forwarded to the State Comptroller
21		for deposit into this State's General Revenue Fund.
22		A recipient of a scholarship under this Section is not
23		considered to be in violation of the failure to fulfill the
24		work obligation under subsection (f) if the recipient (i)
25		enrolls on a full-time basis as a graduate student in a course
26		of study related to the field of social work at a qualified

SB3865 Enrolled - 62 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		Illinois institution of higher learning; (ii) is serving, not
2		in excess of 3 years, as a member of the armed services of the
3		United States; (iii) is a person with a temporary total
4		disability for a period of time not to exceed 3 years, as
5		established by the sworn affidavit of a qualified physician;
6		(iv) is seeking and unable to find full-time employment as a
7		school social worker at an Illinois public or nonpublic
8		not-for-profit preschool, elementary school, or secondary
9		school that satisfies the criteria set forth in subsection (f)
10		and is able to provide evidence of that fact; or (v) becomes a
11		person with a permanent total disability, as established by
12		the sworn affidavit of a qualified physician.

2		this Act shall be allocable to the person's spenddown for
3		purposes of the medical assistance no grant program, but

5		while that person remains eligible for medical assistance.
6		If the person continues to receive or be approved to
7		receive medical assistance through the medical assistance
8		no grant program at or after the time that requirements

11		of 2002.
12		(8) The person has or later receives other benefits or
13		funds from any settlement, judgement, or award resulting

6		or as a result of an intentional misrepresentation of
7		material fact; or if that person knowingly and willfully
8		obtained or attempted to obtain, or fraudulently aided or
9		attempted to aid any other person in obtaining, any

8		and economic life of the State of Illinois and thereby
9		substantially affect the public interest. It is the intent of

13		declared to be the law of this State, pursuant to paragraph (i)
14		of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution of
15		1970, that Public Act 87-1211 is a limitation on the authority
16		of a home rule unit to exercise powers concurrently with the

18		rule unit that has, prior to January 1, 1993 (the effective
19		date of Public Act 87-1211), adopted an ordinance regulating
20		immigration assistance services.

9		the provisions of this Act, and in addition thereto if he
10		directly or indirectly engages any contractor whether

13		sub-contractor unless such contractor or sub-contractor has
14		insured, in any company or association authorized under the
15		laws of this State to insure the liability to pay compensation
16		under this Act, or guaranteed his liability to pay such

10		(b) If no compensation is payable under paragraph (a) of
11		this Section and the employee leaves surviving a parent or
12		parents who at the time of the accident were totally dependent
13		upon the earnings of the employee then weekly payments equal
14		to the compensation rate payable in the case where the
15		employee leaves surviving a widow or widower, shall be paid to
16		such parent or parents for the duration of their lives, and in
17		the event of the death of either, for the life of the survivor.
18		(c) If no compensation is payable under paragraphs (a) or
19		(b) of this Section and the employee leaves surviving any

SB3865 Enrolled - 182 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b

5		shall be divided equally among the surviving beneficiaries and
6		in the event of the death of the last such beneficiary all the
7		rights under this paragraph shall be extinguished.

18		beneficiary shall be divided equally among the surviving
19		beneficiaries and in the event of the death of the last such
20		beneficiary all rights hereunder shall be extinguished.
21		(e) The compensation to be paid for accidental injury
22		which results in death, as provided in this Section, shall be

6		which order or award may be modified from time to time by the
7		Commission in its discretion with respect to the person to
8		whom shall be paid the amount of the order or award remaining

22		therefore, or providing the same.

SB3865 Enrolled - 187 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		the Comptroller and the State Treasurer shall transfer
2		$1,000,000 from the General Revenue Fund to the Rate
3		Adjustment Fund. By February 15, 1991, the Comptroller and the
4		State Treasurer shall transfer $1,000,000 from the Rate

7		of the Chairman up to a total of $19,000,000 from the Second
8		Injury Fund, the General Revenue Fund, and the Workers'
9		Compensation Benefit Trust Fund to the Rate Adjustment Fund to
10		the extent that there is insufficient money in the Rate
11		Adjustment Fund to pay claims and obligations. Amounts may be
12		transferred from the General Revenue Fund only if the funds in
13		the Second Injury Fund or the Workers' Compensation Benefit
14		Trust Fund are insufficient to pay claims and obligations of
15		the Rate Adjustment Fund. All amounts transferred from the
16		Second Injury Fund, the General Revenue Fund, and the Workers'
17		Compensation Benefit Trust Fund shall be repaid from the Rate
18		Adjustment Fund within 270 days of a transfer, together with
19		interest at the rate earned by moneys on deposit in the Fund or
20		Funds from which the moneys were transferred.
21		Upon a finding by the Commission, after reasonable notice
22		and hearing, that any employer has willfully and knowingly
23		failed to pay the proper amounts into the Second Injury Fund or
24		the Rate Adjustment Fund required by this Section or if such
25		payments are not made within the time periods prescribed by
26		this Section, the employer shall, in addition to such

SB3865 Enrolled - 188 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		payments, pay a penalty of 20% of the amount required to be
2		paid or $2,500, whichever is greater, for each year or part
3		thereof of such failure to pay. This penalty shall only apply
4		to obligations of an employer to the Second Injury Fund or the
5		Rate Adjustment Fund accruing after the effective date of this
6		amendatory Act of 1989. All or part of such a penalty may be
7		waived by the Commission for good cause shown.
8		Any obligations of an employer to the Second Injury Fund
9		and Rate Adjustment Fund accruing prior to the effective date
10		of this amendatory Act of 1989 shall be paid in full by such
11		employer within 5 years of the effective date of this
12		amendatory Act of 1989, with at least one-fifth of such
13		obligation to be paid during each year following the effective
14		date of this amendatory Act of 1989. If the Commission finds,
15		following reasonable notice and hearing, that an employer has
16		failed to make timely payment of any obligation accruing under
17		the preceding sentence, the employer shall, in addition to all
18		other payments required by this Section, be liable for a
19		penalty equal to 20% of the overdue obligation or $2,500,
20		whichever is greater, for each year or part thereof that
21		obligation is overdue. All or part of such a penalty may be
22		waived by the Commission for good cause shown.
23		The Chairman of the Illinois Workers' Compensation
24		Commission shall, annually, furnish to the Director of the
25		Department of Insurance a list of the amounts paid into the
26		Second Injury Fund and the Rate Adjustment Fund by each

SB3865 Enrolled - 189 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		insurance company on behalf of their insured employers. The
2		Director shall verify to the Chairman that the amounts paid by
3		each insurance company are accurate as best as the Director
4		can determine from the records available to the Director. The
5		Chairman shall verify that the amounts paid by each
6		self-insurer are accurate as best as the Chairman can
7		determine from records available to the Chairman. The Chairman
8		may require each self-insurer to provide information
9		concerning the total compensation payments made upon which
10		contributions to the Second Injury Fund and the Rate
11		Adjustment Fund are predicated and any additional information
12		establishing that such payments have been made into these
13		funds. Any deficiencies in payments noted by the Director or
14		Chairman shall be subject to the penalty provisions of this
15		Act.
16		The State Treasurer, or his duly authorized
17		representative, shall be named as a party to all proceedings
18		in all cases involving claim for the loss of, or the permanent
19		and complete loss of the use of one eye, one foot, one leg, one
20		arm or one hand.
21		The State Treasurer or his duly authorized agent shall
22		have the same rights as any other party to the proceeding,
23		including the right to petition for review of any award. The
24		reasonable expenses of litigation, such as medical
25		examinations, testimony, and transcript of evidence, incurred
26		by the State Treasurer or his duly authorized representative,

SB3865 Enrolled - 190 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		shall be borne by the Second Injury Fund.
2		If the award is not paid within 30 days after the date the
3		award has become final, the Commission shall proceed to take
4		judgment thereon in its own name as is provided for other
5		awards by paragraph (g) of Section 19 of this Act and take the
6		necessary steps to collect the award.
7		Any person, corporation or organization who has paid or
8		become liable for the payment of burial expenses of the
9		deceased employee may in his or its own name institute
10		proceedings before the Commission for the collection thereof.
11		For the purpose of administration, receipts and
12		disbursements, the Special Fund provided for in paragraph (f)
13		of this Section shall be administered jointly with the Special
14		Fund provided for in Section 7, paragraph (f) of the Workers'
15		Occupational Diseases Act.
16		(g) All compensation, except for burial expenses provided
17		in this Section to be paid in case accident results in death,
18		shall be paid in installments equal to the percentage of the
19		average earnings as provided for in Section 8, paragraph (b)
20		of this Act, at the same intervals at which the wages or
21		earnings of the employees were paid. If this is not feasible,
22		then the installments shall be paid weekly. Such compensation
23		may be paid in a lump sum upon petition as provided in Section
24		9 of this Act. However, in addition to the benefits provided by
25		Section 9 of this Act where compensation for death is payable
26		to the deceased's widow, widower or to the deceased's widow,

SB3865 Enrolled - 191 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		widower and one or more children, and where a partial lump sum
2		is applied for by such beneficiary or beneficiaries within 18
3		months after the deceased's death, the Commission may, in its
4		discretion, grant a partial lump sum of not to exceed 100 weeks
5		of the compensation capitalized at their present value upon
6		the basis of interest calculated at 3% per annum with annual
7		rests, upon a showing that such partial lump sum is for the
8		best interest of such beneficiary or beneficiaries.
9		(h) In case the injured employee is under 16 years of age
10		at the time of the accident and is illegally employed, the
11		amount of compensation payable under paragraphs (a), (b), (c),
12		(d) and (f) of this Section shall be increased 50%.
13		Nothing herein contained repeals or amends the provisions
14		of the Child Labor Law relating to the employment of minors
15		under the age of 16 years.
16		However, where an employer has on file an employment
17		certificate issued pursuant to the Child Labor Law or work
18		permit issued pursuant to the Federal Fair Labor Standards
19		Act, as amended, or a birth certificate properly and duly
20		issued, such certificate, permit or birth certificate is
21		conclusive evidence as to the age of the injured minor
22		employee for the purposes of this Section only.
23		(i) Whenever the dependents of a deceased employee are
24		noncitizens aliens not residing in the United States, Mexico
25		or Canada, the amount of compensation payable is limited to
26		the beneficiaries described in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of

SB3865 Enrolled - 192 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		this Section and is 50% of the compensation provided in
2		paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, except as
3		otherwise provided by treaty.
4		In a case where any of the persons who would be entitled to
5		compensation is living at any place outside of the United
6		States, then payment shall be made to the personal
7		representative of the deceased employee. The distribution by
8		such personal representative to the persons entitled shall be
9		made to such persons and in such manner as the Commission
10		orders.

17		"Workers' Occupational Diseases Act".
18		(a) The term "employer" as used in this Act shall be
19		construed to be:
20		1. The State and each county, city, town, township,
21		incorporated village, school district, body politic, or
22		municipal corporation therein.
23		2. Every person, firm, public or private corporation,

3		express or implied, oral or written.
4		3. Where an employer operating under and subject to
5		the provisions of this Act loans an employee to another
6		such employer and such loaned employee sustains a
7		compensable occupational disease in the employment of such
8		borrowing employer and where such borrowing employer does
9		not provide or pay the benefits or payments due such
10		employee, such loaning employer shall be liable to provide
11		or pay all benefits or payments due such employee under
12		this Act and as to such employee the liability of such
13		loaning and borrowing employers shall be joint and
14		several, provided that such loaning employer shall in the
15		absence of agreement to the contrary be entitled to
16		receive from such borrowing employer full reimbursement
17		for all sums paid or incurred pursuant to this paragraph
18		together with reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses in
19		any hearings before the Illinois Workers' Compensation
20		Commission or in any action to secure such reimbursement.
21		Where any benefit is provided or paid by such loaning
22		employer, the employee shall have the duty of rendering
23		reasonable co-operation in any hearings, trials or
24		proceedings in the case, including such proceedings for

1		of Claim with the Illinois Workers' Compensation
2		Commission alleging that his or her claim is covered by
3		the provisions of the preceding paragraph, and joining
4		both the alleged loaning and borrowing employers, they and
5		each of them, upon written demand by the employee and
6		within 7 days after receipt of such demand, shall have the
7		duty of filing with the Illinois Workers' Compensation
8		Commission a written admission or denial of the allegation
9		that the claim is covered by the provisions of the
10		preceding paragraph and in default of such filing or if
11		any such denial be ultimately determined not to have been
12		bona fide then the provisions of Paragraph K of Section 19
13		of this Act shall apply.
14		An employer whose business or enterprise or a
15		substantial part thereof consists of hiring, procuring or
16		furnishing employees to or for other employers operating
17		under and subject to the provisions of this Act for the
18		performance of the work of such other employers and who
19		pays such employees their salary or wage notwithstanding
20		that they are doing the work of such other employers shall
21		be deemed a loaning employer within the meaning and
22		provisions of this Section.
23		(b) The term "employee" as used in this Act, shall be
24		construed to mean:
25		1. Every person in the service of the State, county,
26		city, town, township, incorporated village or school

SB3865 Enrolled - 195 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b

8		whose population exceeds 500,000 according to the last
9		Federal or State census, and except any member of a fire
10		insurance patrol maintained by a board of underwriters in
11		this State. One employed by a contractor who has
12		contracted with the State, or a county, city, town,
13		township, incorporated village, school district, body
14		politic or municipal corporation therein, through its
15		representatives, shall not be considered as an employee of
16		the State, county, city, town, township, incorporated
17		village, school district, body politic or municipal
18		corporation which made the contract.
19		2. Every person in the service of another under any
20		contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, who
21		contracts an occupational disease while working in the
22		State of Illinois, or who contracts an occupational
23		disease while working outside of the State of Illinois but
24		where the contract of hire is made within the State of
25		Illinois, and any person whose employment is principally
26		localized within the State of Illinois, regardless of the

SB3865 Enrolled - 196 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		place where the disease was contracted or place where the
2		contract of hire was made, including noncitizens aliens,
3		and minors who, for the purpose of this Act, except
4		Section 3 hereof, shall be considered the same and have
5		the same power to contract, receive payments and give
6		quittances therefor, as adult employees. An employee or
7		his or her dependents under this Act who shall have a cause
8		of action by reason of an occupational disease,
9		disablement or death arising out of and in the course of
10		his or her employment may elect or pursue his or her remedy

12		State where the contract of hire is made, or in the State
13		where the employment is principally localized.
14		(c) "Commission" means the Illinois Workers' Compensation
15		Commission created by the Workers' Compensation Act, approved
16		July 9, 1951, as amended.
17		(d) In this Act the term "Occupational Disease" means a
18		disease arising out of and in the course of the employment or
19		which has become aggravated and rendered disabling as a result
20		of the exposure of the employment. Such aggravation shall
21		arise out of a risk peculiar to or increased by the employment
22		and not common to the general public.
23		A disease shall be deemed to arise out of the employment if
24		there is apparent to the rational mind, upon consideration of
25		all the circumstances, a causal connection between the
26		conditions under which the work is performed and the

SB3865 Enrolled - 197 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		occupational disease. The disease need not to have been
2		foreseen or expected but after its contraction it must appear
3		to have had its origin or aggravation in a risk connected with
4		the employment and to have flowed from that source as a
5		rational consequence.
6		An employee shall be conclusively deemed to have been
7		exposed to the hazards of an occupational disease when, for
8		any length of time however short, he or she is employed in an
9		occupation or process in which the hazard of the disease
10		exists; provided however, that in a claim of exposure to
11		atomic radiation, the fact of such exposure must be verified
12		by the records of the central registry of radiation exposure
13		maintained by the Department of Public Health or by some other
14		recognized governmental agency maintaining records of such
15		exposures whenever and to the extent that the records are on
16		file with the Department of Public Health or the agency.
17		Any injury to or disease or death of an employee arising
18		from the administration of a vaccine, including without
19		limitation smallpox vaccine, to prepare for, or as a response
20		to, a threatened or potential bioterrorist incident to the
21		employee as part of a voluntary inoculation program in
22		connection with the person's employment or in connection with
23		any governmental program or recommendation for the inoculation
24		of workers in the employee's occupation, geographical area, or
25		other category that includes the employee is deemed to arise
26		out of and in the course of the employment for all purposes

1		under this Act. This paragraph added by Public Act 93-829 is
2		declarative of existing law and is not a new enactment.
3		The employer liable for the compensation in this Act
4		provided shall be the employer in whose employment the
5		employee was last exposed to the hazard of the occupational
6		disease claimed upon regardless of the length of time of such
7		last exposure, except, in cases of silicosis or asbestosis,
8		the only employer liable shall be the last employer in whose
9		employment the employee was last exposed during a period of 60
10		days or more after the effective date of this Act, to the
11		hazard of such occupational disease, and, in such cases, an
12		exposure during a period of less than 60 days, after the
13		effective date of this Act, shall not be deemed a last
14		exposure. If a miner who is suffering or suffered from
15		pneumoconiosis was employed for 10 years or more in one or more
16		coal mines there shall, effective July 1, 1973 be a rebuttable
17		presumption that his or her pneumoconiosis arose out of such
18		employment.
19		If a deceased miner was employed for 10 years or more in
20		one or more coal mines and died from a respirable disease there
21		shall, effective July 1, 1973, be a rebuttable presumption
22		that his or her death was due to pneumoconiosis.
23		Any condition or impairment of health of an employee
24		employed as a firefighter, emergency medical technician (EMT),
25		emergency medical technician-intermediate (EMT-I), advanced
26		emergency medical technician (A-EMT), or paramedic which

SB3865 Enrolled - 199 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		results directly or indirectly from any bloodborne pathogen,
2		lung or respiratory disease or condition, heart or vascular
3		disease or condition, hypertension, tuberculosis, or cancer
4		resulting in any disability (temporary, permanent, total, or
5		partial) to the employee shall be rebuttably presumed to arise
6		out of and in the course of the employee's firefighting, EMT,
7		EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic employment and, further, shall be
8		rebuttably presumed to be causally connected to the hazards or
9		exposures of the employment. This presumption shall also apply
10		to any hernia or hearing loss suffered by an employee employed
11		as a firefighter, EMT, EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic. However,
12		this presumption shall not apply to any employee who has been
13		employed as a firefighter, EMT, EMT-I, A-EMT, or paramedic for
14		less than 5 years at the time he or she files an Application
15		for Adjustment of Claim concerning this condition or
16		impairment with the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission.
17		The rebuttable presumption established under this subsection,
18		however, does not apply to an emergency medical technician
19		(EMT), emergency medical technician-intermediate (EMT-I),
20		advanced emergency medical technician (A-EMT), or paramedic
21		employed by a private employer if the employee spends the
22		preponderance of his or her work time for that employer
23		engaged in medical transfers between medical care facilities
24		or non-emergency medical transfers to or from medical care
25		facilities. The changes made to this subsection by this
26		amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly shall be narrowly

SB3865 Enrolled - 200 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		construed. The Finding and Decision of the Illinois Workers'
2		Compensation Commission under only the rebuttable presumption
3		provision of this paragraph shall not be admissible or be
4		deemed res judicata in any disability claim under the Illinois
5		Pension Code arising out of the same medical condition;
6		however, this sentence makes no change to the law set forth in
7		Krohe v. City of Bloomington, 204 Ill.2d 392.
8		The insurance carrier liable shall be the carrier whose
9		policy was in effect covering the employer liable on the last
10		day of the exposure rendering such employer liable in
11		accordance with the provisions of this Act.
12		(e) "Disablement" means an impairment or partial
13		impairment, temporary or permanent, in the function of the
14		body or any of the members of the body, or the event of
15		becoming disabled from earning full wages at the work in which
16		the employee was engaged when last exposed to the hazards of
17		the occupational disease by the employer from whom he or she
18		claims compensation, or equal wages in other suitable
19		employment; and "disability" means the state of being so
20		incapacitated.
21		(f) No compensation shall be payable for or on account of
22		any occupational disease unless disablement, as herein
23		defined, occurs within two years after the last day of the last
24		exposure to the hazards of the disease, except in cases of
25		occupational disease caused by berylliosis or by the
26		inhalation of silica dust or asbestos dust and, in such cases,

SB3865 Enrolled - 201 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		within 3 years after the last day of the last exposure to the
2		hazards of such disease and except in the case of occupational
3		disease caused by exposure to radiological materials or
4		equipment, and in such case, within 25 years after the last day
5		of last exposure to the hazards of such disease.
6		(g)(1) In any proceeding before the Commission in which
7		the employee is a COVID-19 first responder or front-line
8		worker as defined in this subsection, if the employee's injury
9		or occupational disease resulted from exposure to and
10		contraction of COVID-19, the exposure and contraction shall be
11		rebuttably presumed to have arisen out of and in the course of
12		the employee's first responder or front-line worker employment
13		and the injury or occupational disease shall be rebuttably
14		presumed to be causally connected to the hazards or exposures
15		of the employee's first responder or front-line worker
16		employment.
17		(2) The term "COVID-19 first responder or front-line
18		worker" means: all individuals employed as police, fire
19		personnel, emergency medical technicians, or paramedics; all
20		individuals employed and considered as first responders; all
21		workers for health care providers, including nursing homes and
22		rehabilitation facilities and home care workers; corrections
23		officers; and any individuals employed by essential businesses
24		and operations as defined in Executive Order 2020-10 dated
25		March 20, 2020, as long as individuals employed by essential
26		businesses and operations are required by their employment to

SB3865 Enrolled - 202 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		encounter members of the general public or to work in
2		employment locations of more than 15 employees. For purposes
3		of this subsection only, an employee's home or place of
4		residence is not a place of employment, except for home care
5		workers.
6		(3) The presumption created in this subsection may be
7		rebutted by evidence, including, but not limited to, the
8		following:
9		(A) the employee was working from his or her home, on
10		leave from his or her employment, or some combination
11		thereof, for a period of 14 or more consecutive days
12		immediately prior to the employee's injury, occupational
13		disease, or period of incapacity resulted from exposure to
14		COVID-19; or
15		(B) the employer was engaging in and applying to the
16		fullest extent possible or enforcing to the best of its
17		ability industry-specific workplace sanitation, social
18		distancing, and health and safety practices based on
19		updated guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control
20		and Prevention or Illinois Department of Public Health or
21		was using a combination of administrative controls,
22		engineering controls, or personal protective equipment to
23		reduce the transmission of COVID-19 to all employees for
24		at least 14 consecutive days prior to the employee's
25		injury, occupational disease, or period of incapacity
26		resulting from exposure to COVID-19. For purposes of this

SB3865 Enrolled - 203 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		subsection, "updated" means the guidance in effect at
2		least 14 days prior to the COVID-19 diagnosis. For
3		purposes of this subsection, "personal protective
4		equipment" means industry-specific equipment worn to
5		minimize exposure to hazards that cause illnesses or
6		serious injuries, which may result from contact with
7		biological, chemical, radiological, physical, electrical,
8		mechanical, or other workplace hazards. "Personal
9		protective equipment" includes, but is not limited to,
10		items such as face coverings, gloves, safety glasses,
11		safety face shields, barriers, shoes, earplugs or muffs,
12		hard hats, respirators, coveralls, vests, and full body
13		suits; or
14		(C) the employee was exposed to COVID-19 by an
15		alternate source.
16		(4) The rebuttable presumption created in this subsection
17		applies to all cases tried after June 5, 2020 (the effective
18		date of Public Act 101-633) and in which the diagnosis of
19		COVID-19 was made on or after March 9, 2020 and on or before
20		June 30, 2021 (including the period between December 31, 2020
21		and the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st
22		General Assembly).
23		(5) Under no circumstances shall any COVID-19 case
24		increase or affect any employer's workers' compensation
25		insurance experience rating or modification, but COVID-19
26		costs may be included in determining overall State loss costs.

SB3865 Enrolled - 204 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		(6) In order for the presumption created in this
2		subsection to apply at trial, for COVID-19 diagnoses occurring
3		on or before June 15, 2020, an employee must provide a
4		confirmed medical diagnosis by a licensed medical practitioner
5		or a positive laboratory test for COVID-19 or for COVID-19
6		antibodies; for COVID-19 diagnoses occurring after June 15,
7		2020, an employee must provide a positive laboratory test for
8		COVID-19 or for COVID-19 antibodies.
9		(7) The presumption created in this subsection does not
10		apply if the employee's place of employment was solely the
11		employee's home or residence for a period of 14 or more
12		consecutive days immediately prior to the employee's injury,
13		occupational disease, or period of incapacity resulted from
14		exposure to COVID-19.
15		(8) The date of injury or the beginning of the employee's
16		occupational disease or period of disability is either the
17		date that the employee was unable to work due to contraction of
18		COVID-19 or was unable to work due to symptoms that were later
19		diagnosed as COVID-19, whichever came first.
20		(9) An employee who contracts COVID-19, but fails to
21		establish the rebuttable presumption is not precluded from
22		filing for compensation under this Act or under the Workers'
23		Compensation Act.
24		(10) To qualify for temporary total disability benefits
25		under the presumption created in this subsection, the employee
26		must be certified for or recertified for temporary disability.

SB3865 Enrolled - 205 - LRB102 24242 RJF 33473 b
1		(11) An employer is entitled to a credit against any
2		liability for temporary total disability due to an employee as
3		a result of the employee contracting COVID-19 for (A) any sick
4		leave benefits or extended salary benefits paid to the
5		employee by the employer under Emergency Family Medical Leave
6		Expansion Act, Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act of the Families
7		First Coronavirus Response Act, or any other federal law, or
8		(B) any other credit to which an employer is entitled under the
9		Workers' Compensation Act.

4		10 or more individuals within each of 20 or more calendar
5		weeks (but not necessarily simultaneously and irrespective
6		of whether the same individuals are or were employed in

6		labor for any other employing unit, and who is not treated as
7		performing service in the employ of such crew leader under
8		subsection B, shall be treated as performing service in the
9		employ of such other employing unit, and such employing unit
10		shall be treated as having paid cash wages to such individual
11		in an amount equal to the amount of cash wages paid to the
