5 (r) "Supervisor" is:
6 (1) An employee whose principal work is substantially
7 different from that of his or her subordinates and who has
8 authority, in the interest of the employer, to hire,
9 transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge,
10 direct, reward, or discipline employees, to adjust their
11 grievances, or to effectively recommend any of those
12 actions, if the exercise of that authority is not of a
13 merely routine or clerical nature, but requires the
14 consistent use of independent judgment. Except with
15 respect to police employment, the term "supervisor"
16 includes only those individuals who devote a preponderance
17 of their employment time to exercising that authority,
18 State supervisors notwithstanding. Determinations of
19 supervisor status shall be based on actual employee job
20 duties and not solely on written job descriptions. Nothing
21 in this definition prohibits an individual from also
22 meeting the definition of "managerial employee" under
23 subsection (j) of this Section. In addition, in
24 determining supervisory status in police employment, rank
25 shall not be determinative. The Board shall consider, as
26 evidence of bargaining unit inclusion or exclusion, the

SB1797- 20 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 common law enforcement policies and relationships between
2 police officer ranks and certification under applicable
3 civil service law, ordinances, personnel codes, or
4 Division 2.1 of Article 10 of the Illinois Municipal Code,
5 but these factors shall not be the sole or predominant
6 factors considered by the Board in determining police
7 supervisory status.
8 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding
9 paragraph, in determining supervisory status in fire
10 fighter employment, no fire fighter shall be excluded as a
11 supervisor who has established representation rights under
12 Section 9 of this Act. Further, in fire fighter units,
13 employees shall consist of fire fighters of the highest
14 rank of company officer and below. A company officer may
15 be responsible for multiple companies or apparatus on a
16 shift, multiple stations, or an entire shift. There may be
17 more than one company officer per shift. If a company
18 officer otherwise qualifies as a supervisor under the
19 preceding paragraph, however, he or she shall not be
20 included in the fire fighter unit. If there is no rank
21 between that of chief and the highest company officer, the
22 employer may designate a position on each shift as a Shift
23 Commander, and the persons occupying those positions shall
24 be supervisors. All other ranks above that of the highest
25 company officer shall be supervisors.
26 (2) With respect only to State employees in positions

SB1797- 21 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b

4 2008, (ii) for which a petition is filed with the Illinois
5 Public Labor Relations Board on or after April 5, 2013
6 (the effective date of Public Act 97-1172), or (iii) for
7 which a petition is pending before the Illinois Public
8 Labor Relations Board on that date, an employee who
9 qualifies as a supervisor under (A) Section 152 of the
10 National Labor Relations Act and (B) orders of the
11 National Labor Relations Board interpreting that provision
12 or decisions of courts reviewing decisions of the National
13 Labor Relations Board.
14 (s)(1) "Unit" means a class of jobs or positions that are
15held by employees whose collective interests may suitably be
16represented by a labor organization for collective bargaining.
17Except with respect to non-State fire fighters and paramedics
18employed by fire departments and fire protection districts,
19non-State peace officers, and peace officers in the Illinois
20State Police, a bargaining unit determined by the Board shall
21not include both employees and supervisors, or supervisors
22only, except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection
23(s) and except for bargaining units in existence on July 1,
241984 (the effective date of this Act). With respect to
25non-State fire fighters and paramedics employed by fire
26departments and fire protection districts, non-State peace

SB1797- 22 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1officers, and peace officers in the Illinois State Police, a
2bargaining unit determined by the Board shall not include both
3supervisors and nonsupervisors, or supervisors only, except as
4provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection (s) and except
5for bargaining units in existence on January 1, 1986 (the
6effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985). A bargaining
7unit determined by the Board to contain peace officers shall
8contain no employees other than peace officers unless
9otherwise agreed to by the employer and the labor organization
10or labor organizations involved. Notwithstanding any other
11provision of this Act, a bargaining unit, including a
12historical bargaining unit, containing sworn peace officers of
13the Department of Natural Resources (formerly designated the
14Department of Conservation) shall contain no employees other
15than such sworn peace officers upon the effective date of this
16amendatory Act of 1990 or upon the expiration date of any
17collective bargaining agreement in effect upon the effective
18date of this amendatory Act of 1990 covering both such sworn
19peace officers and other employees.
20 (2) Notwithstanding the exclusion of supervisors from
21bargaining units as provided in paragraph (1) of this
22subsection (s), a public employer may agree to permit its
23supervisory employees to form bargaining units and may bargain
24with those units. This Act shall apply if the public employer
25chooses to bargain under this subsection.
26 (3) Public employees who are court reporters, as defined

SB1797- 23 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1in the Court Reporters Act, shall be divided into 3 units for
2collective bargaining purposes. One unit shall be court
3reporters employed by the Cook County Judicial Circuit; one
4unit shall be court reporters employed by the 12th, 18th,
519th, and, on and after December 4, 2006, the 22nd judicial

1 (5 ILCS 315/7) (from Ch. 48, par. 1607)
2 Sec. 7. Duty to bargain. A public employer and the
3exclusive representative have the authority and the duty to
4bargain collectively set forth in this Section.
5 For the purposes of this Act, "to bargain collectively"
6means the performance of the mutual obligation of the public
7employer or his designated representative and the
8representative of the public employees to meet at reasonable
9times, including meetings in advance of the budget-making
10process, and to negotiate in good faith with respect to wages,
11hours, and other conditions of employment, not excluded by
12Section 4 of this Act, or the negotiation of an agreement, or
13any question arising thereunder and the execution of a written
14contract incorporating any agreement reached if requested by
15either party, but such obligation does not compel either party
16to agree to a proposal or require the making of a concession.
17 The duty "to bargain collectively" shall also include an
18obligation to negotiate over any matter with respect to wages,
19hours and other conditions of employment, not specifically
20provided for in any other law or not specifically in violation
21of the provisions of any law. If any other law pertains, in
22part, to a matter affecting the wages, hours and other
23conditions of employment, such other law shall not be
24construed as limiting the duty "to bargain collectively" and
25to enter into collective bargaining agreements containing

SB1797- 25 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1clauses which either supplement, implement, or relate to the
2effect of such provisions in other laws.
3 The duty "to bargain collectively" shall also include
4negotiations as to the terms of a collective bargaining
5agreement. The parties may, by mutual agreement, provide for
6arbitration of impasses resulting from their inability to
7agree upon wages, hours and terms and conditions of employment
8to be included in a collective bargaining agreement. Such
9arbitration provisions shall be subject to the Illinois
10"Uniform Arbitration Act" unless agreed by the parties.
11 The duty "to bargain collectively" shall also mean that no
12party to a collective bargaining contract shall terminate or
13modify such contract, unless the party desiring such
14termination or modification:
15 (1) serves a written notice upon the other party to
16 the contract of the proposed termination or modification
17 60 days prior to the expiration date thereof, or in the
18 event such contract contains no expiration date, 60 days
19 prior to the time it is proposed to make such termination
20 or modification;
21 (2) offers to meet and confer with the other party for
22 the purpose of negotiating a new contract or a contract
23 containing the proposed modifications;
24 (3) notifies the Board within 30 days after such
25 notice of the existence of a dispute, provided no
26 agreement has been reached by that time; and

SB1797- 26 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (4) continues in full force and effect, without
2 resorting to strike or lockout, all the terms and
3 conditions of the existing contract for a period of 60
4 days after such notice is given to the other party or until
5 the expiration date of such contract, whichever occurs
6 later.
7 The duties imposed upon employers, employees and labor
8organizations by paragraphs (2), (3) and (4) shall become
9inapplicable upon an intervening certification of the Board,
10under which the labor organization, which is a party to the
11contract, has been superseded as or ceased to be the exclusive
12representative of the employees pursuant to the provisions of
13subsection (a) of Section 9, and the duties so imposed shall
14not be construed as requiring either party to discuss or agree
15to any modification of the terms and conditions contained in a
16contract for a fixed period, if such modification is to become
17effective before such terms and conditions can be reopened
18under the provisions of the contract.
19 Collective bargaining for home care and home health
20workers who function as personal assistants and individual
21maintenance home health workers under the Home Services
22Program shall be limited to the terms and conditions of
23employment under the State's control, as defined in Public Act
2493-204 or this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, as
25applicable.
26 Collective bargaining for child and day care home

SB1797- 27 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1providers under the child care assistance program shall be
2limited to the terms and conditions of employment under the
3State's control, as defined in this amendatory Act of the 94th
4General Assembly.
5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
6whenever collective bargaining is for the purpose of
7establishing an initial agreement following original
8certification of units with fewer than 35 employees, with
9respect to public employees other than peace officers, fire
10fighters, and security employees, the following apply:
11 (1) Not later than 10 days after receiving a written
12 request for collective bargaining from a labor
13 organization that has been newly certified as a
14 representative as defined in Section 6(c), or within such
15 further period as the parties agree upon, the parties
16 shall meet and commence to bargain collectively and shall
17 make every reasonable effort to conclude and sign a
18 collective bargaining agreement.
19 (2) If anytime after the expiration of the 90-day
20 period beginning on the date on which bargaining is
21 commenced the parties have failed to reach an agreement,
22 either party may notify the Illinois Public Labor
23 Relations Board of the existence of a dispute and request
24 mediation in accordance with the provisions of Section 14
25 of this Act.
26 (3) If after the expiration of the 30-day period

SB1797- 28 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 beginning on the date on which mediation commenced, or
2 such additional period as the parties may agree upon, the
3 mediator is not able to bring the parties to agreement by
4 conciliation, either the exclusive representative of the
5 employees or the employer may request of the other, in
6 writing, arbitration and shall submit a copy of the
7 request to the board. Upon submission of the request for
8 arbitration, the parties shall be required to participate
9 in the impasse arbitration procedures set forth in Section
10 14 of this Act, except the right to strike shall not be
11 considered waived pursuant to Section 17 of this Act,
12 until the actual convening of the arbitration hearing.

2 annually assess the need for employees with appropriate
3 bilingual capabilities to serve the significant numbers of
4 non-English speaking or culturally distinct persons. The

26tax-supported child welfare services and extend and seek to

SB1797- 38 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1improve voluntary services throughout the State, to the end
2that services and care shall be available on an equal basis
3throughout the State to children requiring such services.
4 (d) The Director may authorize advance disbursements for
5any new program initiative to any agency contracting with the
6Department. As a prerequisite for an advance disbursement, the
7contractor must post a surety bond in the amount of the advance
8disbursement and have a purchase of service contract approved
9by the Department. The Department may pay up to 2 months
10operational expenses in advance. The amount of the advance
11disbursement shall be prorated over the life of the contract
12or the remaining months of the fiscal year, whichever is less,
13and the installment amount shall then be deducted from future
14bills. Advance disbursement authorizations for new initiatives
15shall not be made to any agency after that agency has operated
16during 2 consecutive fiscal years. The requirements of this
17Section concerning advance disbursements shall not apply with
18respect to the following: payments to local public agencies
19for child day care services as authorized by Section 5a of this
20Act; and youth service programs receiving grant funds under
21Section 17a-4.
22 (e) (Blank).

13 Court Act of 1987 in accordance with the federal Adoption
14 Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980; and
15 (10) interstate services.
16 Rules and regulations established by the Department shall
17include provisions for training Department staff and the staff
18of Department grantees, through contracts with other agencies
19or resources, in screening techniques to identify substance
20use disorders, as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act,
21approved by the Department of Human Services, as a successor
22to the Department of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, for the
23purpose of identifying children and adults who should be
24referred for an assessment at an organization appropriately
25licensed by the Department of Human Services for substance use
26disorder treatment.

SB1797- 40 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (h) If the Department finds that there is no appropriate
2program or facility within or available to the Department for
3a youth in care and that no licensed private facility has an
4adequate and appropriate program or none agrees to accept the
5youth in care, the Department shall create an appropriate
6individualized, program-oriented plan for such youth in care.
7The plan may be developed within the Department or through
8purchase of services by the Department to the extent that it is
9within its statutory authority to do.
10 (i) Service programs shall be available throughout the
11State and shall include but not be limited to the following
12services:
13 (1) case management;
14 (2) homemakers;
15 (3) counseling;

19 In addition, the following services may be made available
20to assess and meet the needs of children and families:
21 (1) comprehensive family-based services;
22 (2) assessments;
23 (3) respite care; and
24 (4) in-home health services.
25 The Department shall provide transportation for any of the
26services it makes available to children or families or for

SB1797- 41 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1which it refers children or families.
2 (j) The Department may provide categories of financial
3assistance and education assistance grants, and shall
4establish rules and regulations concerning the assistance and
5grants, to persons who adopt children with physical or mental
6disabilities, children who are older, or other hard-to-place
7children who (i) immediately prior to their adoption were
8youth in care or (ii) were determined eligible for financial
9assistance with respect to a prior adoption and who become
10available for adoption because the prior adoption has been
11dissolved and the parental rights of the adoptive parents have
12been terminated or because the child's adoptive parents have
13died. The Department may continue to provide financial
14assistance and education assistance grants for a child who was
15determined eligible for financial assistance under this
16subsection (j) in the interim period beginning when the
17child's adoptive parents died and ending with the finalization
18of the new adoption of the child by another adoptive parent or
19parents. The Department may also provide categories of
20financial assistance and education assistance grants, and
21shall establish rules and regulations for the assistance and
22grants, to persons appointed guardian of the person under
23Section 5-7 of the Juvenile Court Act or Section 2-27, 3-28,
244-25, or 5-740 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 for children
25who were youth in care for 12 months immediately prior to the
26appointment of the guardian.

SB1797- 42 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 The amount of assistance may vary, depending upon the
2needs of the child and the adoptive parents, as set forth in
3the annual assistance agreement. Special purpose grants are
4allowed where the child requires special service but such
5costs may not exceed the amounts which similar services would
6cost the Department if it were to provide or secure them as
7guardian of the child.
8 Any financial assistance provided under this subsection is
9inalienable by assignment, sale, execution, attachment,
10garnishment, or any other remedy for recovery or collection of
11a judgment or debt.
12 (j-5) The Department shall not deny or delay the placement
13of a child for adoption if an approved family is available
14either outside of the Department region handling the case, or
15outside of the State of Illinois.
16 (k) The Department shall accept for care and training any
17child who has been adjudicated neglected or abused, or
18dependent committed to it pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act
19or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
20 (l) The Department shall offer family preservation
21services, as defined in Section 8.2 of the Abused and
22Neglected Child Reporting Act, to help families, including
23adoptive and extended families. Family preservation services
24shall be offered (i) to prevent the placement of children in
25substitute care when the children can be cared for at home or
26in the custody of the person responsible for the children's

SB1797- 43 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1welfare, (ii) to reunite children with their families, or
2(iii) to maintain an adoptive placement. Family preservation
3services shall only be offered when doing so will not endanger
4the children's health or safety. With respect to children who
5are in substitute care pursuant to the Juvenile Court Act of
61987, family preservation services shall not be offered if a
7goal other than those of subdivisions (A), (B), or (B-1) of
8subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act has been set, except
9that reunification services may be offered as provided in
10paragraph (F) of subsection (2) of Section 2-28 of that Act.
11Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to create a
12private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
13or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
14subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
15of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
16facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
17hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
18of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
19out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
20reasonable promptness and if those services are available.
21 The Department shall notify the child and his family of
22the Department's responsibility to offer and provide family
23preservation services as identified in the service plan. The
24child and his family shall be eligible for services as soon as
25the report is determined to be "indicated". The Department may
26offer services to any child or family with respect to whom a

SB1797- 44 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1report of suspected child abuse or neglect has been filed,
2prior to concluding its investigation under Section 7.12 of
3the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. However, the
4child's or family's willingness to accept services shall not
5be considered in the investigation. The Department may also
6provide services to any child or family who is the subject of
7any report of suspected child abuse or neglect or may refer
8such child or family to services available from other agencies
9in the community, even if the report is determined to be
10unfounded, if the conditions in the child's or family's home
11are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to future
12reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance of
13such services shall be voluntary. The Department may also
14provide services to any child or family after completion of a
15family assessment, as an alternative to an investigation, as
16provided under the "differential response program" provided
17for in subsection (a-5) of Section 7.4 of the Abused and
18Neglected Child Reporting Act.
19 The Department may, at its discretion except for those
20children also adjudicated neglected or dependent, accept for
21care and training any child who has been adjudicated addicted,
22as a truant minor in need of supervision or as a minor
23requiring authoritative intervention, under the Juvenile Court
24Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, but no such child shall
25be committed to the Department by any court without the
26approval of the Department. On and after January 1, 2015 (the

SB1797- 45 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1effective date of Public Act 98-803) and before January 1,
22017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
3Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
4adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of
5or committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
6less than 16 years of age committed to the Department under
7Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, (ii) a minor
8for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
9exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
10minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition
11to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
122-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. On and after January 1,
132017, a minor charged with a criminal offense under the
14Criminal Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012 or
15adjudicated delinquent shall not be placed in the custody of
16or committed to the Department by any court, except (i) a minor
17less than 15 years of age committed to the Department under
18Section 5-710 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, ii) a minor
19for whom an independent basis of abuse, neglect, or dependency
20exists, which must be defined by departmental rule, or (iii) a
21minor for whom the court has granted a supplemental petition
22to reinstate wardship pursuant to subsection (2) of Section
232-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. An independent basis
24exists when the allegations or adjudication of abuse, neglect,
25or dependency do not arise from the same facts, incident, or
26circumstances which give rise to a charge or adjudication of

SB1797- 46 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1delinquency. The Department shall assign a caseworker to
2attend any hearing involving a youth in the care and custody of
3the Department who is placed on aftercare release, including
4hearings involving sanctions for violation of aftercare
5release conditions and aftercare release revocation hearings.
6 As soon as is possible after August 7, 2009 (the effective
7date of Public Act 96-134), the Department shall develop and
8implement a special program of family preservation services to
9support intact, foster, and adoptive families who are
10experiencing extreme hardships due to the difficulty and
11stress of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a
12pervasive developmental disorder if the Department determines
13that those services are necessary to ensure the health and
14safety of the child. The Department may offer services to any
15family whether or not a report has been filed under the Abused
16and Neglected Child Reporting Act. The Department may refer
17the child or family to services available from other agencies
18in the community if the conditions in the child's or family's
19home are reasonably likely to subject the child or family to
20future reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. Acceptance
21of these services shall be voluntary. The Department shall
22develop and implement a public information campaign to alert
23health and social service providers and the general public
24about these special family preservation services. The nature
25and scope of the services offered and the number of families
26served under the special program implemented under this

SB1797- 47 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1paragraph shall be determined by the level of funding that the
2Department annually allocates for this purpose. The term
3"pervasive developmental disorder" under this paragraph means
4a neurological condition, including, but not limited to,
5Asperger's Syndrome and autism, as defined in the most recent
6edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
7Disorders of the American Psychiatric Association.
8 (l-1) The legislature recognizes that the best interests
9of the child require that the child be placed in the most
10permanent living arrangement as soon as is practically
11possible. To achieve this goal, the legislature directs the
12Department of Children and Family Services to conduct
13concurrent planning so that permanency may occur at the
14earliest opportunity. Permanent living arrangements may
15include prevention of placement of a child outside the home of
16the family when the child can be cared for at home without
17endangering the child's health or safety; reunification with
18the family, when safe and appropriate, if temporary placement
19is necessary; or movement of the child toward the most
20permanent living arrangement and permanent legal status.
21 When determining reasonable efforts to be made with
22respect to a child, as described in this subsection, and in
23making such reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety
24shall be the paramount concern.
25 When a child is placed in foster care, the Department
26shall ensure and document that reasonable efforts were made to

SB1797- 48 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1prevent or eliminate the need to remove the child from the
2child's home. The Department must make reasonable efforts to
3reunify the family when temporary placement of the child
4occurs unless otherwise required, pursuant to the Juvenile
5Court Act of 1987. At any time after the dispositional hearing
6where the Department believes that further reunification
7services would be ineffective, it may request a finding from
8the court that reasonable efforts are no longer appropriate.
9The Department is not required to provide further
10reunification services after such a finding.
11 A decision to place a child in substitute care shall be
12made with considerations of the child's health, safety, and
13best interests. At the time of placement, consideration should
14also be given so that if reunification fails or is delayed, the
15placement made is the best available placement to provide
16permanency for the child.
17 The Department shall adopt rules addressing concurrent
18planning for reunification and permanency. The Department
19shall consider the following factors when determining
20appropriateness of concurrent planning:
21 (1) the likelihood of prompt reunification;
22 (2) the past history of the family;
23 (3) the barriers to reunification being addressed by
24 the family;
25 (4) the level of cooperation of the family;
26 (5) the foster parents' willingness to work with the

SB1797- 49 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 family to reunite;
2 (6) the willingness and ability of the foster family
3 to provide an adoptive home or long-term placement;
4 (7) the age of the child;
5 (8) placement of siblings.
6 (m) The Department may assume temporary custody of any
7child if:
8 (1) it has received a written consent to such
9 temporary custody signed by the parents of the child or by
10 the parent having custody of the child if the parents are
11 not living together or by the guardian or custodian of the
12 child if the child is not in the custody of either parent,
13 or
14 (2) the child is found in the State and neither a
15 parent, guardian nor custodian of the child can be
16 located.
17If the child is found in his or her residence without a parent,
18guardian, custodian, or responsible caretaker, the Department
19may, instead of removing the child and assuming temporary
20custody, place an authorized representative of the Department
21in that residence until such time as a parent, guardian, or
22custodian enters the home and expresses a willingness and
23apparent ability to ensure the child's health and safety and
24resume permanent charge of the child, or until a relative
25enters the home and is willing and able to ensure the child's
26health and safety and assume charge of the child until a

SB1797- 50 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1parent, guardian, or custodian enters the home and expresses
2such willingness and ability to ensure the child's safety and
3resume permanent charge. After a caretaker has remained in the
4home for a period not to exceed 12 hours, the Department must
5follow those procedures outlined in Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
65-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
7 The Department shall have the authority, responsibilities
8and duties that a legal custodian of the child would have
9pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of the Juvenile
10Court Act of 1987. Whenever a child is taken into temporary
11custody pursuant to an investigation under the Abused and
12Neglected Child Reporting Act, or pursuant to a referral and
13acceptance under the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 of a minor in
14limited custody, the Department, during the period of
15temporary custody and before the child is brought before a
16judicial officer as required by Section 2-9, 3-11, 4-8, or
175-415 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987, shall have the
18authority, responsibilities and duties that a legal custodian
19of the child would have under subsection (9) of Section 1-3 of
20the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.
21 The Department shall ensure that any child taken into
22custody is scheduled for an appointment for a medical
23examination.
24 A parent, guardian, or custodian of a child in the
25temporary custody of the Department who would have custody of
26the child if he were not in the temporary custody of the

SB1797- 51 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1Department may deliver to the Department a signed request that
2the Department surrender the temporary custody of the child.
3The Department may retain temporary custody of the child for
410 days after the receipt of the request, during which period
5the Department may cause to be filed a petition pursuant to the
6Juvenile Court Act of 1987. If a petition is so filed, the
7Department shall retain temporary custody of the child until
8the court orders otherwise. If a petition is not filed within
9the 10-day period, the child shall be surrendered to the
10custody of the requesting parent, guardian, or custodian not
11later than the expiration of the 10-day period, at which time
12the authority and duties of the Department with respect to the
13temporary custody of the child shall terminate.
14 (m-1) The Department may place children under 18 years of
15age in a secure child care facility licensed by the Department
16that cares for children who are in need of secure living
17arrangements for their health, safety, and well-being after a
18determination is made by the facility director and the
19Director or the Director's designate prior to admission to the
20facility subject to Section 2-27.1 of the Juvenile Court Act
21of 1987. This subsection (m-1) does not apply to a child who is
22subject to placement in a correctional facility operated
23pursuant to Section 3-15-2 of the Unified Code of Corrections,
24unless the child is a youth in care who was placed in the care
25of the Department before being subject to placement in a
26correctional facility and a court of competent jurisdiction

SB1797- 52 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1has ordered placement of the child in a secure care facility.
2 (n) The Department may place children under 18 years of
3age in licensed child care facilities when in the opinion of
4the Department, appropriate services aimed at family
5preservation have been unsuccessful and cannot ensure the
6child's health and safety or are unavailable and such
7placement would be for their best interest. Payment for board,
8clothing, care, training and supervision of any child placed
9in a licensed child care facility may be made by the
10Department, by the parents or guardians of the estates of
11those children, or by both the Department and the parents or
12guardians, except that no payments shall be made by the
13Department for any child placed in a licensed child care
14facility for board, clothing, care, training and supervision
15of such a child that exceed the average per capita cost of
16maintaining and of caring for a child in institutions for
17dependent or neglected children operated by the Department.
18However, such restriction on payments does not apply in cases
19where children require specialized care and treatment for
20problems of severe emotional disturbance, physical disability,
21social adjustment, or any combination thereof and suitable
22facilities for the placement of such children are not
23available at payment rates within the limitations set forth in
24this Section. All reimbursements for services delivered shall
25be absolutely inalienable by assignment, sale, attachment, or
26garnishment or otherwise.

SB1797- 53 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (n-1) The Department shall provide or authorize child
2welfare services, aimed at assisting minors to achieve
3sustainable self-sufficiency as independent adults, for any
4minor eligible for the reinstatement of wardship pursuant to
5subsection (2) of Section 2-33 of the Juvenile Court Act of
61987, whether or not such reinstatement is sought or allowed,
7provided that the minor consents to such services and has not
8yet attained the age of 21. The Department shall have
9responsibility for the development and delivery of services
10under this Section. An eligible youth may access services
11under this Section through the Department of Children and
12Family Services or by referral from the Department of Human
13Services. Youth participating in services under this Section
14shall cooperate with the assigned case manager in developing
15an agreement identifying the services to be provided and how
16the youth will increase skills to achieve self-sufficiency. A
17homeless shelter is not considered appropriate housing for any
18youth receiving child welfare services under this Section. The
19Department shall continue child welfare services under this
20Section to any eligible minor until the minor becomes 21 years
21of age, no longer consents to participate, or achieves
22self-sufficiency as identified in the minor's service plan.
23The Department of Children and Family Services shall create
24clear, readable notice of the rights of former foster youth to
25child welfare services under this Section and how such
26services may be obtained. The Department of Children and

SB1797- 54 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1Family Services and the Department of Human Services shall
2disseminate this information statewide. The Department shall
3adopt regulations describing services intended to assist
4minors in achieving sustainable self-sufficiency as
5independent adults.
6 (o) The Department shall establish an administrative
7review and appeal process for children and families who
8request or receive child welfare services from the Department.
9Youth in care who are placed by private child welfare
10agencies, and foster families with whom those youth are
11placed, shall be afforded the same procedural and appeal
12rights as children and families in the case of placement by the
13Department, including the right to an initial review of a
14private agency decision by that agency. The Department shall
15ensure that any private child welfare agency, which accepts
16youth in care for placement, affords those rights to children
17and foster families. The Department shall accept for
18administrative review and an appeal hearing a complaint made
19by (i) a child or foster family concerning a decision
20following an initial review by a private child welfare agency
21or (ii) a prospective adoptive parent who alleges a violation
22of subsection (j-5) of this Section. An appeal of a decision
23concerning a change in the placement of a child shall be
24conducted in an expedited manner. A court determination that a
25current foster home placement is necessary and appropriate
26under Section 2-28 of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 does not

SB1797- 55 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1constitute a judicial determination on the merits of an
2administrative appeal, filed by a former foster parent,
3involving a change of placement decision.
4 (p) (Blank).
5 (q) The Department may receive and use, in their entirety,
6for the benefit of children any gift, donation, or bequest of
7money or other property which is received on behalf of such
8children, or any financial benefits to which such children are
9or may become entitled while under the jurisdiction or care of
10the Department, except that the benefits described in Section
115.46 must be used and conserved consistent with the provisions
12under Section 5.46.
13 The Department shall set up and administer no-cost,
14interest-bearing accounts in appropriate financial
15institutions for children for whom the Department is legally
16responsible and who have been determined eligible for
17Veterans' Benefits, Social Security benefits, assistance
18allotments from the armed forces, court ordered payments,
19parental voluntary payments, Supplemental Security Income,
20Railroad Retirement payments, Black Lung benefits, or other
21miscellaneous payments. Interest earned by each account shall
22be credited to the account, unless disbursed in accordance
23with this subsection.
24 In disbursing funds from children's accounts, the
25Department shall:
26 (1) Establish standards in accordance with State and

SB1797- 56 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 federal laws for disbursing money from children's
2 accounts. In all circumstances, the Department's
3 "Guardianship Administrator" or his or her designee must
4 approve disbursements from children's accounts. The
5 Department shall be responsible for keeping complete
6 records of all disbursements for each account for any

15shall complete a study using outcome-based assessment
16measurements to analyze the various types of child care needs,
17including but not limited to: child care homes; child care

7 Sec. 1-75. Off-Hours Child Care Program.
8 (a) Legislative intent. The General Assembly finds that:
9 (1) Finding child care can be a challenge for
10 firefighters, paramedics, police officers, nurses, and
11 other third shift workers across the State who often work
12 non-typical work hours. This can impact home life, school,
13 bedtime routines, job safety, and the mental health of
14 some of our most critical front line workers and their
15 families.
16 (2) There is a need for increased options for
17 off-hours child care in the State. A majority of the
18 State's child care facilities do not provide care outside
19 of normal work hours, with just 3,251 child day care homes
20 and 435 group child day care homes that provide night
21 care.
22 (3) Illinois has a vested interest in ensuring that
23 our first responders and working families can provide
24 their children with appropriate care during off hours to

SB1797- 95 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b

6law enforcement officers, and, as determined by the
7Department, any other workers who, on account of their work
8schedule, need child care outside of the hours when licensed
9child care facilities typically operate.
10 (c) Subject to appropriation, the Department of Human
11Services shall establish and administer an Off-Hours Child
12Care Program to help first responders and other workers
13identify and access off-hours, night, or sleep time child
14care. Services funded under the program must address the child
15care needs of first responders. Funding provided under the
16program may also be used to cover any capital and operating
17expenses related to the provision of off-hours, night, or
18sleep time child care for first responders. Funding awarded
19under this Section shall be funded through appropriations from
20the Off-Hours Child Care Program Fund created under subsection
21(d). The Department shall implement the program by July 1,
222023. The Department may adopt any rules necessary to
23implement the program.
24 (d) The Off-Hours Child Care Program Fund is created as a
25special fund in the State treasury. The Fund shall consist of
26any moneys appropriated to the Department of Human Services

2 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
3 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
4 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
5 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated,
6 antiquated, obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii)
7 lacking within the redevelopment project area.
8 (I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
9 structures and community facilities. The
10 over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
11 buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
12 Examples of problem conditions warranting the
13 designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive
14 land coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings
15 either improperly situated on parcels or located on
16 parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
17 present-day standards of development for health and
18 safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings on
19 a single parcel. For there to be a finding of excessive
20 land coverage, these parcels must exhibit one or more
21 of the following conditions: insufficient provision
22 for light and air within or around buildings,
23 increased threat of spread of fire due to the close
24 proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper
25 access to a public right-of-way, lack of reasonably
26 required off-street parking, or inadequate provision

SB1797- 136 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 for loading and service.
2 (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
3 of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
4 occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
5 considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
6 the surrounding area.
7 (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
8 redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
9 Environmental Protection Agency or United States
10 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
11 or a study conducted by an independent consultant
12 recognized as having expertise in environmental
13 remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
14 hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
15 storage tanks required by State or federal law,
16 provided that the remediation costs constitute a
17 material impediment to the development or
18 redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
19 (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
20 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
21 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
22 This means that the development occurred prior to the
23 adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
24 other community plan or that the plan was not followed
25 at the time of the area's development. This factor
26 must be documented by evidence of adverse or

SB1797- 137 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street
2 layout, improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate
3 shape and size to meet contemporary development
4 standards, or other evidence demonstrating an absence
5 of effective community planning.
6 (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
7 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
8 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
9 the redevelopment project area is designated or is
10 increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
11 balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
12 calendar years for which information is available or
13 is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
14 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
15 by the United States Department of Labor or successor
16 agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
17 year in which the redevelopment project area is
18 designated.
19 (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
20 project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
21 the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
22 that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
23 municipality may reasonably find that the factor is
24 clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii)
25 reasonably distributed throughout the vacant part of the
26 redevelopment project area to which it pertains:

SB1797- 138 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
2 in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
3 of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
4 difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
5 compatible with contemporary standards and
6 requirements, or platting that failed to create
7 rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
8 inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
9 other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
10 for public utilities.
11 (B) Diversity of ownership of parcels of vacant
12 land sufficient in number to retard or impede the
13 ability to assemble the land for development.
14 (C) Tax and special assessment delinquencies exist
15 or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
16 the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
17 (D) Deterioration of structures or site
18 improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
19 vacant land.
20 (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
21 Protection Agency or United States Environmental
22 Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
23 conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
24 having expertise in environmental remediation has
25 determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous
26 waste, hazardous substances, or underground storage

SB1797- 139 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 tanks required by State or federal law, provided that
2 the remediation costs constitute a material impediment
3 to the development or redevelopment of the
4 redevelopment project area.
5 (F) The total equalized assessed value of the
6 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
7 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
8 the redevelopment project area is designated or is
9 increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
10 balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
11 calendar years for which information is available or
12 is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
13 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published
14 by the United States Department of Labor or successor
15 agency for 3 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the
16 year in which the redevelopment project area is
17 designated.
18 (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
19 project area is impaired by one of the following factors
20 that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
21 meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
22 find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
23 of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
24 the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
25 it pertains:
26 (A) The area consists of one or more unused

SB1797- 140 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
2 (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail
3 tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
4 (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
5 to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
6 property in the area as certified by a registered
7 professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
8 or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
9 part of the area and contributes to flooding within
10 the same watershed, but only if the redevelopment
11 project provides for facilities or improvements to
12 contribute to the alleviation of all or part of the
13 flooding.
14 (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
15 disposal site containing earth, stone, building
16 debris, or similar materials that were removed from
17 construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.
18 (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
19 than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
20 vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used
21 for commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years
22 prior to the designation of the redevelopment project
23 area), and the area meets at least one of the factors
24 itemized in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area
25 has been designated as a town or village center by
26 ordinance or comprehensive plan adopted prior to

SB1797- 141 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 January 1, 1982, and the area has not been developed
2 for that designated purpose.
3 (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
4 immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
5 been substantial private investment in the immediately
6 surrounding area.
7 (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
8designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
9prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
1091-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
11in this Section prior to that date.
12 On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
13any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
14project area located within the territorial limits of the
15municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
16have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
17blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
18following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
19morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
20 (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
21 neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
22 components of buildings or improvements in such a
23 combination that a documented building condition analysis
24 determines that major repair is required or the defects
25 are so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
26 removed.

SB1797- 142 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
2 into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
3 original use.
4 (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
5 including, but not limited to, major defects in the
6 secondary building components such as doors, windows,
7 porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect
8 to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways,
9 alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
10 surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,
11 but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
12 depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
13 through paved surfaces.
14 (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
15 standards. All structures that do not meet the standards
16 of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other
17 governmental codes applicable to property, but not
18 including housing and property maintenance codes.
19 (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
20 structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
21 local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
22 of structures below minimum code standards.
23 (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
24 that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent
25 an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
26 extent, or duration of the vacancies.

SB1797- 143 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
2 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
3 or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
4 that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
5 other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
6 and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
7 skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
8 improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
9 area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
10 absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
11 bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
12 structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
13 and from all rooms and units within a building.
14 (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
15 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
16 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
17 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
18 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
19 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
20 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated, antiquated,
21 obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii) lacking within the
22 redevelopment project area.
23 (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
24 structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
25 use of property and the crowding of buildings and
26 accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem

SB1797- 144 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 conditions warranting the designation of an area as one
2 exhibiting excessive land coverage are: the presence of
3 buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located
4 on parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
5 present-day standards of development for health and safety
6 and the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
7 For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
8 these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
9 conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
10 within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
11 fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
12 adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack
13 of reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate
14 provision for loading and service.
15 (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of
16 incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
17 inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be
18 noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding
19 area.
20 (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
21 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
22 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
23 means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
24 by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
25 plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
26 area's development. This factor must be documented by

SB1797- 145 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
2 relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
3 subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to meet
4 contemporary development standards, or other evidence
5 demonstrating an absence of effective community planning.
6 (12) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
7 Protection Agency or United States Environmental
8 Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
9 conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
10 having expertise in environmental remediation has
11 determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous waste,
12 hazardous substances, or underground storage tanks
13 required by State or federal law, provided that the
14 remediation costs constitute a material impediment to the
15 development or redevelopment of the redevelopment project
16 area.
17 (13) The total equalized assessed value of the
18 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3 of
19 the last 5 calendar years for which information is
20 available or is increasing at an annual rate that is less
21 than the balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
22 calendar years for which information is available or is
23 increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
24 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by
25 the United States Department of Labor or successor agency

10facilities.
11 (d) "Industrial park conservation area" means an area
12within the boundaries of a redevelopment project area located
13within the territorial limits of a municipality that is a
14labor surplus municipality or within 1 1/2 miles of the
15territorial limits of a municipality that is a labor surplus
16municipality if the area is annexed to the municipality; which
17area is zoned as industrial no later than at the time the
18municipality by ordinance designates the redevelopment project
19area, and which area includes both vacant land suitable for
20use as an industrial park and a blighted area or conservation
21area contiguous to such vacant land.
22 (e) "Labor surplus municipality" means a municipality in
23which, at any time during the 6 months before the municipality
24by ordinance designates an industrial park conservation area,
25the unemployment rate was over 6% and was also 100% or more of

SB1797- 147 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1published in the United States Department of Labor Bureau of
2Labor Statistics publication entitled "The Employment
3Situation" or its successor publication. For the purpose of
4this subsection, if unemployment rate statistics for the
5municipality are not available, the unemployment rate in the
6municipality shall be deemed to be the same as the
7unemployment rate in the principal county in which the
8municipality is located.
9 (f) "Municipality" shall mean a city, village,
10incorporated town, or a township that is located in the
11unincorporated portion of a county with 3 million or more

1Boundary revised pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8a(9) of this
2Act.
3 (h) "Municipal Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal
4to the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid to a
5municipality from the Local Government Tax Fund arising from
6sales by retailers and servicemen within the redevelopment
7project area or State Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be,
8for as long as the redevelopment project area or State Sales
9Tax Boundary, as the case may be, exist over and above the
10aggregate amount of taxes as certified by the Illinois
11Department of Revenue and paid under the Municipal Retailers'
12Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax
13Act by retailers and servicemen, on transactions at places of

15Sales Tax Boundary, as the case may be, during the base year
16which shall be the calendar year immediately prior to the year
17in which the municipality adopted tax increment allocation
18financing. For purposes of computing the aggregate amount of
19such taxes for base years occurring prior to 1985, the
20Department of Revenue shall determine the Initial Sales Tax
21Amounts for such taxes and deduct therefrom an amount equal to
224% of the aggregate amount of taxes per year for each year the
23base year is prior to 1985, but not to exceed a total deduction
24of 12%. The amount so determined shall be known as the

4in the redevelopment project area or the State Sales Tax
5Boundary, as the case may be, the certified Initial Sales Tax
6Amounts, the Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
7Initial Sales Tax Amounts for the Municipal Retailers'
8Occupation Tax Act and the Municipal Service Occupation Tax
9Act. For the State Fiscal Year 1989, this calculation shall be
10made by utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax
11amounts received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this
12calculation shall be made by utilizing the period from January
131, 1988, until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax
14amounts received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
15Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
16Occupation Tax Act, which shall have deducted therefrom
17nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the

19Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year
201991, this calculation shall be made by utilizing the period
21from October 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989, to determine the tax
22amounts received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
23Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
24Occupation Tax Act which shall have deducted therefrom
25nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
26Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial

SB1797- 150 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year
2thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months
3beginning July 1 and ending June 30 to determine the tax
4amounts received which shall have deducted therefrom the
5certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the Adjusted Initial
6Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts, as
7the case may be.
8 (i) "Net State Sales Tax Increment" means the sum of the

12exceeding $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment annually
13generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and (c) 40% of all
14amounts in excess of $500,000 of State Sales Tax Increment
15annually generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary. If,
16however, a municipality established a tax increment financing
17district in a county with a population in excess of 3,000,000
18before January 1, 1986, and the municipality entered into a
19contract or issued bonds after January 1, 1986, but before
20December 31, 1986, to finance redevelopment project costs
21within a State Sales Tax Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax
22Increment means, for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990,
23and July 1, 1991, 100% of the State Sales Tax Increment
24annually generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and
25notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, for those
26fiscal years the Department of Revenue shall distribute to

SB1797- 151 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1those municipalities 100% of their Net State Sales Tax
2Increment before any distribution to any other municipality
3and regardless of whether or not those other municipalities
4will receive 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For
5Fiscal Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year
62007, for any municipality that has not entered into a
7contract or has not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to
8finance redevelopment project costs within a State Sales Tax
9Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be
10calculated as follows: By multiplying the Net State Sales Tax
11Increment by 90% in the State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the
12State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 60%
13in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal Year
142003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30% in the State
15Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in
16the State Fiscal Year 2007. No payment shall be made for State
17Fiscal Year 2008 and thereafter.
18 Municipalities that issued bonds in connection with a
19redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
20the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991, or that
21entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment
22project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988,
23shall continue to receive their proportional share of the
24Illinois Tax Increment Fund distribution until the date on
25which the redevelopment project is completed or terminated.
26If, however, a municipality that issued bonds in connection

SB1797- 152 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1with a redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area
2within the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991
3retires the bonds prior to June 30, 2007 or a municipality that
4entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment
5project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988
6completes the contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as
7the redevelopment project is not completed or is not
8terminated, the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be
9calculated, beginning on the date on which the bonds are
10retired or the contracts are completed, as follows: By
11multiplying the Net State Sales Tax Increment by 60% in the
12State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40%
13in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year
142005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State
15Fiscal Year 2007. No payment shall be made for State Fiscal
16Year 2008 and thereafter. Refunding of any bonds issued prior
17to July 29, 1991, shall not alter the Net State Sales Tax
18Increment.
19 (j) "State Utility Tax Increment Amount" means an amount
20equal to the aggregate increase in State electric and gas tax

24over and above the aggregate of such charges as certified by
25the Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants,
26other than residential customers, of properties within the

SB1797- 153 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1redevelopment project area during the base year, which shall
2be the calendar year immediately prior to the year of the
3adoption of the ordinance authorizing tax increment allocation
4financing.
5 (k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the
6following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax
7Increment annually generated by a redevelopment project area;
8(b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding
9$500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment annually generated
10by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
11excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
12generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State
13Fiscal Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year
142007, for any municipality that has not entered into a
15contract or has not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to
16finance redevelopment project costs within a redevelopment
17project area, the Net State Utility Tax Increment shall be
18calculated as follows: By multiplying the Net State Utility

7 conforms to the strategic economic development or
8 redevelopment plan issued by the designated planning
9 authority of the municipality, or (ii) includes land uses
10 that have been approved by the planning commission of the
11 municipality.

14 area.
15 (5) If: (a) the redevelopment plan will not result in

20 project area or a qualifying transit facility located
21 within a transit facility improvement area established
22 pursuant to Section 11-74.4-3.3, and the applicable
23 project is subject to the process for evaluation of
24 environmental effects under the National Environmental
25 Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., then a housing
26 impact study need not be performed. If, however, the

SB1797- 160 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
2 residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
3 if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
4 inhabited residential units and no certification is made,
5 then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
6 separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
7 Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
8 Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
9 data as to whether the residential units are single family

14 ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
15 Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the
16 racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the
17 inhabited residential units. The data requirement as to
18 the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the
19 inhabited residential units shall be deemed to be fully
20 satisfied by data from the most recent federal census.
21 Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
22 inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
23 project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
24 residential units are to be removed, then the housing
25 impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of
26 those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the

17 with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
18 removed for households of low-income and very low-income
19 persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
20 less than that which would be provided under the federal
21 Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
22 Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
23 that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
24 housing may be either existing or newly constructed
25 housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
26 households", "very low-income households", and "affordable

SB1797- 162 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
2 Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good
3 faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is
4 located in or near the redevelopment project area within
5 the municipality.
6 (8) On and after November 1, 1999, if, after the
7 adoption of the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment
8 project area, any municipality desires to amend its
9 redevelopment plan to remove more inhabited residential
10 units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
11 that change shall be made in accordance with the
12 procedures in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.
13 (9) For redevelopment project areas designated prior
14 to November 1, 1999, the redevelopment plan may be amended

16 provided that the municipality shall give notice of any
17 such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and

25 units, the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for
26 the affordability of rent to low and very low-income

8 Section 150. The Alternative Health Care Delivery Act is
9amended by changing Section 35 as follows:
10 (210 ILCS 3/35)
11 Sec. 35. Alternative health care models authorized.
12Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, alternative
13health care models described in this Section may be
14established on a demonstration basis.
15 (1) (Blank).
16 (2) Alternative health care delivery model;
17 postsurgical recovery care center. A postsurgical recovery
18 care center is a designated site which provides
19 postsurgical recovery care for generally healthy patients
20 undergoing surgical procedures that potentially require
21 overnight nursing care, pain control, or observation that
22 would otherwise be provided in an inpatient setting.
23 Patients may be discharged from the postsurgical recovery
24 care center in less than 24 hours if the attending

SB1797- 224 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 physician or the facility's medical director believes the
2 patient has recovered enough to be discharged. A
3 postsurgical recovery care center is either freestanding
4 or a defined unit of an ambulatory surgical treatment
5 center or hospital. No facility, or portion of a facility,
6 may participate in a demonstration program as a
7 postsurgical recovery care center unless the facility has
8 been licensed as an ambulatory surgical treatment center
9 or hospital for at least 2 years before August 20, 1993
10 (the effective date of Public Act 88-441). The maximum
11 length of stay for patients in a postsurgical recovery
12 care center is not to exceed 48 hours unless the treating
13 physician requests an extension of time from the recovery
14 center's medical director on the basis of medical or
15 clinical documentation that an additional care period is
16 required for the recovery of a patient and the medical
17 director approves the extension of time. In no case,
18 however, shall a patient's length of stay in a
19 postsurgical recovery care center be longer than 72 hours.
20 If a patient requires an additional care period after the
21 expiration of the 72-hour limit, the patient shall be
22 transferred to an appropriate facility. Reports on
23 variances from the 24-hour or 48-hour limit shall be sent
24 to the Department for its evaluation. The reports shall,
25 before submission to the Department, have removed from
26 them all patient and physician identifiers. Blood products

SB1797- 225 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 may be administered in the postsurgical recovery care
2 center model. In order to handle cases of complications,
3 emergencies, or exigent circumstances, every postsurgical
4 recovery care center as defined in this paragraph shall
5 maintain a contractual relationship, including a transfer
6 agreement, with a general acute care hospital. A
7 postsurgical recovery care center shall be no larger than
8 20 beds. A postsurgical recovery care center shall be
9 located within 15 minutes travel time from the general
10 acute care hospital with which the center maintains a
11 contractual relationship, including a transfer agreement,
12 as required under this paragraph.
13 No postsurgical recovery care center shall
14 discriminate against any patient requiring treatment
15 because of the source of payment for services, including
16 Medicare and Medicaid recipients.
17 The Department shall adopt rules to implement the
18 provisions of Public Act 88-441 concerning postsurgical
19 recovery care centers within 9 months after August 20,
20 1993. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, a
21 postsurgical recovery care center model may provide sleep
22 laboratory or similar sleep studies in accordance with
23 applicable State and federal laws and regulations.
24 (3) Alternative health care delivery model; children's
25 community-based health care center. A children's
26 community-based health care center model is a designated

SB1797- 226 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 site that provides nursing care, clinical support
2 services, and therapies for a period of one to 14 days for
3 short-term stays and 120 days to facilitate transitions to
4 home or other appropriate settings for medically fragile
5 children, technology dependent children, and children with
6 special health care needs who are deemed clinically stable
7 by a physician and are younger than 22 years of age. This
8 care is to be provided in a home-like environment that
9 serves no more than 12 children at a time, except that a
10 children's community-based health care center in existence
11 on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th
12 General Assembly that is located in Chicago on grade level
13 for Life Safety Code purposes may provide care to no more
14 than 16 children at a time. Children's community-based
15 health care center services must be available through the
16 model to all families, including those whose care is paid
17 for through the Department of Healthcare and Family
18 Services, the Department of Children and Family Services,
19 the Department of Human Services, and insurance companies
20 who cover home health care services or private duty
21 nursing care in the home.
22 Each children's community-based health care center
23 model location shall be physically separate and apart from
24 any other facility licensed by the Department of Public
25 Health under this or any other Act and shall provide the
26 following services: respite care, registered nursing or

SB1797- 227 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 licensed practical nursing care, transitional care to
2 facilitate home placement or other appropriate settings
3 and reunite families, medical child day care, weekend
4 camps, and diagnostic studies typically done in the home
5 setting.
6 Coverage for the services provided by the Department
7 of Healthcare and Family Services under this paragraph (3)
8 is contingent upon federal waiver approval and is provided
9 only to Medicaid eligible clients participating in the
10 home and community based services waiver designated in
11 Section 1915(c) of the Social Security Act for medically
12 frail and technologically dependent children or children
13 in Department of Children and Family Services foster care
14 who receive home health benefits.
15 (4) Alternative health care delivery model; community
16 based residential rehabilitation center. A community-based
17 residential rehabilitation center model is a designated
18 site that provides rehabilitation or support, or both, for
19 persons who have experienced severe brain injury, who are
20 medically stable, and who no longer require acute
21 rehabilitative care or intense medical or nursing
22 services. The average length of stay in a community-based
23 residential rehabilitation center shall not exceed 4
24 months. As an integral part of the services provided,
25 individuals are housed in a supervised living setting
26 while having immediate access to the community. The

SB1797- 228 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 residential rehabilitation center authorized by the
2 Department may have more than one residence included under
3 the license. A residence may be no larger than 12 beds and
4 shall be located as an integral part of the community. Day
5 treatment or individualized outpatient services shall be
6 provided for persons who reside in their own home.
7 Functional outcome goals shall be established for each
8 individual. Services shall include, but are not limited
9 to, case management, training and assistance with
10 activities of daily living, nursing consultation,
11 traditional therapies (physical, occupational, speech),
12 functional interventions in the residence and community
13 (job placement, shopping, banking, recreation),
14 counseling, self-management strategies, productive
15 activities, and multiple opportunities for skill
16 acquisition and practice throughout the day. The design of
17 individualized program plans shall be consistent with the
18 outcome goals that are established for each resident. The
19 programs provided in this setting shall be accredited by
20 the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation
21 Facilities (CARF). The program shall have been accredited
22 by CARF as a Brain Injury Community-Integrative Program
23 for at least 3 years.
24 (5) Alternative health care delivery model;
25 Alzheimer's disease management center. An Alzheimer's
26 disease management center model is a designated site that

SB1797- 229 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 provides a safe and secure setting for care of persons
2 diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. An Alzheimer's disease
3 management center model shall be a facility separate from
4 any other facility licensed by the Department of Public
5 Health under this or any other Act. An Alzheimer's disease
6 management center shall conduct and document an assessment
7 of each resident every 6 months. The assessment shall
8 include an evaluation of daily functioning, cognitive
9 status, other medical conditions, and behavioral problems.
10 An Alzheimer's disease management center shall develop and
11 implement an ongoing treatment plan for each resident. The
12 treatment plan shall have defined goals. The Alzheimer's
13 disease management center shall treat behavioral problems
14 and mood disorders using nonpharmacologic approaches such
15 as environmental modification, task simplification, and

2 Sec. 8-103B. Energy efficiency and demand-response
3measures.
4 (a) It is the policy of the State that electric utilities
5are required to use cost-effective energy efficiency and
6demand-response measures to reduce delivery load. Requiring
7investment in cost-effective energy efficiency and
8demand-response measures will reduce direct and indirect costs
9to consumers by decreasing environmental impacts and by
10avoiding or delaying the need for new generation,
11transmission, and distribution infrastructure. It serves the
12public interest to allow electric utilities to recover costs
13for reasonably and prudently incurred expenditures for energy
14efficiency and demand-response measures. As used in this
15Section, "cost-effective" means that the measures satisfy the
16total resource cost test. The low-income measures described in
17subsection (c) of this Section shall not be required to meet
18the total resource cost test. For purposes of this Section,

20utility", and "total resource cost test" have the meanings set
21forth in the Illinois Power Agency Act. "Black, indigenous,
22and people of color" and "BIPOC" means people who are members

2more than 500,000 retail customers in the State for those
3multi-year plans commencing after December 31, 2017.
4 (b) For purposes of this Section, electric utilities
5subject to this Section that serve more than 3,000,000 retail
6customers in the State shall be deemed to have achieved a
7cumulative persisting annual savings of 6.6% from energy
8efficiency measures and programs implemented during the period
9beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2017, which
10percent is based on the deemed average weather normalized
11sales of electric power and energy during calendar years 2014,
122015, and 2016 of 88,000,000 MWhs. For the purposes of this
13subsection (b) and subsection (b-5), the 88,000,000 MWhs of
14deemed electric power and energy sales shall be reduced by the
15number of MWhs equal to the sum of the annual consumption of

15 No later than December 31, 2021, the Illinois Commerce
16Commission shall establish additional cumulative persisting
17annual savings goals for the years 2031 through 2035. No later
18than December 31, 2024, the Illinois Commerce Commission shall
19establish additional cumulative persisting annual savings
20goals for the years 2036 through 2040. The Commission shall
21also establish additional cumulative persisting annual savings
22goals every 5 years thereafter to ensure that utilities always
23have goals that extend at least 11 years into the future. The
24cumulative persisting annual savings goals beyond the year
252030 shall increase by 0.9 percentage points per year, absent
26a Commission decision to initiate a proceeding to consider

SB1797- 270 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1establishing goals that increase by more or less than that
2amount. Such a proceeding must be conducted in accordance with
3the procedures described in subsection (f) of this Section. If
4such a proceeding is initiated, the cumulative persisting
5annual savings goals established by the Commission through
6that proceeding shall reflect the Commission's best estimate
7of the maximum amount of additional savings that are forecast
8to be cost-effectively achievable unless such best estimates
9would result in goals that represent less than 0.5 percentage
10point annual increases in total cumulative persisting annual
11savings. The Commission may only establish goals that
12represent less than 0.5 percentage point annual increases in
13cumulative persisting annual savings if it can demonstrate,
14based on clear and convincing evidence and through independent
15analysis, that 0.5 percentage point increases are not
16cost-effectively achievable. The Commission shall inform its
17decision based on an energy efficiency potential study that
18conforms to the requirements of this Section.
19 (b-10) For purposes of this Section, electric utilities
20subject to this Section that serve less than 3,000,000 retail
21customers but more than 500,000 retail customers in the State
22shall be deemed to have achieved a cumulative persisting
23annual savings of 6.6% from energy efficiency measures and
24programs implemented during the period beginning January 1,
252012 and ending December 31, 2017, which is based on the deemed
26average weather normalized sales of electric power and energy

SB1797- 271 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1during calendar years 2014, 2015, and 2016 of 36,900,000 MWhs.
2For the purposes of this subsection (b-10) and subsection
3(b-15), the 36,900,000 MWhs of deemed electric power and
4energy sales shall be reduced by the number of MWhs equal to
5the sum of the annual consumption of customers that have opted
6out of subsections (a) through (j) of this Section under
7paragraph (1) of subsection (l) of this Section, as averaged
8across the calendar years 2014, 2015, and 2016. After 2017,
9the deemed value of cumulative persisting annual savings from
10energy efficiency measures and programs implemented during the
11period beginning January 1, 2012 and ending December 31, 2017,
12shall be reduced each year, as follows, and the applicable
13value shall be applied to and count toward the utility's
14achievement of the cumulative persisting annual savings goals

11 (b-15) Beginning in 2018, electric utilities subject to
12this Section that serve less than 3,000,000 retail customers
13but more than 500,000 retail customers in the State shall
14achieve the following cumulative persisting annual savings
15goals, as modified by subsection (b-20) and subsection (f) of
16this Section and as compared to the deemed baseline as reduced
17by the number of MWhs equal to the sum of the annual
18consumption of customers that have opted out of subsections
19(a) through (j) of this Section under paragraph (1) of
20subsection (l) of this Section as averaged across the calendar
21years 2014, 2015, and 2016, through the implementation of
22energy efficiency measures during the applicable year and in
23prior years, but no earlier than January 1, 2012:
24 (1) 7.4% cumulative persisting annual savings for the
25 year ending December 31, 2018;

22 (13) 16% cumulative persisting annual savings for the
23 year ending December 31, 2030.
24 No later than December 31, 2021, the Illinois Commerce
25Commission shall establish additional cumulative persisting
26annual savings goals for the years 2031 through 2035. No later

SB1797- 275 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1than December 31, 2024, the Illinois Commerce Commission shall
2establish additional cumulative persisting annual savings
3goals for the years 2036 through 2040. The Commission shall
4also establish additional cumulative persisting annual savings
5goals every 5 years thereafter to ensure that utilities always
6have goals that extend at least 11 years into the future. The
7cumulative persisting annual savings goals beyond the year
82030 shall increase by 0.6 percentage points per year, absent
9a Commission decision to initiate a proceeding to consider
10establishing goals that increase by more or less than that
11amount. Such a proceeding must be conducted in accordance with
12the procedures described in subsection (f) of this Section. If
13such a proceeding is initiated, the cumulative persisting
14annual savings goals established by the Commission through
15that proceeding shall reflect the Commission's best estimate
16of the maximum amount of additional savings that are forecast
17to be cost-effectively achievable unless such best estimates
18would result in goals that represent less than 0.4 percentage
19point annual increases in total cumulative persisting annual
20savings. The Commission may only establish goals that
21represent less than 0.4 percentage point annual increases in
22cumulative persisting annual savings if it can demonstrate,
23based on clear and convincing evidence and through independent
24analysis, that 0.4 percentage point increases are not
25cost-effectively achievable. The Commission shall inform its
26decision based on an energy efficiency potential study that

SB1797- 276 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1conforms to the requirements of this Section.
2 (b-20) Each electric utility subject to this Section may
3include cost-effective voltage optimization measures in its
4plans submitted under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section,
5and the costs incurred by a utility to implement the measures
6under a Commission-approved plan shall be recovered under the
7provisions of Article IX or Section 16-108.5 of this Act. For
8purposes of this Section, the measure life of voltage
9optimization measures shall be 15 years. The measure life
10period is independent of the depreciation rate of the voltage
11optimization assets deployed. Utilities may claim savings from
12voltage optimization on circuits for more than 15 years if
13they can demonstrate that they have made additional
14investments necessary to enable voltage optimization savings
15to continue beyond 15 years. Such demonstrations must be
16subject to the review of independent evaluation.
17 Within 270 days after June 1, 2017 (the effective date of
18Public Act 99-906), an electric utility that serves less than
193,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
20customers in the State shall file a plan with the Commission
21that identifies the cost-effective voltage optimization
22investment the electric utility plans to undertake through
23December 31, 2024. The Commission, after notice and hearing,
24shall approve or approve with modification the plan within 120
25days after the plan's filing and, in the order approving or
26approving with modification the plan, the Commission shall

SB1797- 277 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1adjust the applicable cumulative persisting annual savings
2goals set forth in subsection (b-15) to reflect any amount of
3cost-effective energy savings approved by the Commission that
4is greater than or less than the following cumulative
5persisting annual savings values attributable to voltage
6optimization for the applicable year:
7 (1) 0.0% of cumulative persisting annual savings for
8 the year ending December 31, 2018;
9 (2) 0.17% of cumulative persisting annual savings for
10 the year ending December 31, 2019;
11 (3) 0.17% of cumulative persisting annual savings for
12 the year ending December 31, 2020;
13 (4) 0.33% of cumulative persisting annual savings for
14 the year ending December 31, 2021;
15 (5) 0.5% of cumulative persisting annual savings for
16 the year ending December 31, 2022;
17 (6) 0.67% of cumulative persisting annual savings for
18 the year ending December 31, 2023;
19 (7) 0.83% of cumulative persisting annual savings for
20 the year ending December 31, 2024; and
21 (8) 1.0% of cumulative persisting annual savings for
22 the year ending December 31, 2025 and all subsequent
23 years.
24 (b-25) In the event an electric utility jointly offers an
25energy efficiency measure or program with a gas utility under
26plans approved under this Section and Section 8-104 of this

SB1797- 278 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1Act, the electric utility may continue offering the program,
2including the gas energy efficiency measures, in the event the
3gas utility discontinues funding the program. In that event,
4the energy savings value associated with such other fuels
5shall be converted to electric energy savings on an equivalent
6Btu basis for the premises. However, the electric utility
7shall prioritize programs for low-income residential customers
8to the extent practicable. An electric utility may recover the
9costs of offering the gas energy efficiency measures under
10this subsection (b-25).
11 For those energy efficiency measures or programs that save
12both electricity and other fuels but are not jointly offered
13with a gas utility under plans approved under this Section and
14Section 8-104 or not offered with an affiliated gas utility
15under paragraph (6) of subsection (f) of Section 8-104 of this
16Act, the electric utility may count savings of fuels other
17than electricity toward the achievement of its annual savings
18goal, and the energy savings value associated with such other
19fuels shall be converted to electric energy savings on an
20equivalent Btu basis at the premises.
21 In no event shall more than 10% of each year's applicable
22annual total savings requirement as defined in paragraph (7.5)
23of subsection (g) of this Section be met through savings of
24fuels other than electricity.
25 (b-27) Beginning in 2022, an electric utility may offer
26and promote measures that electrify space heating, water

SB1797- 279 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1heating, cooling, drying, cooking, industrial processes, and
2other building and industrial end uses that would otherwise be
3served by combustion of fossil fuel at the premises, provided
4that the electrification measures reduce total energy
5consumption at the premises. The electric utility may count
6the reduction in energy consumption at the premises toward
7achievement of its annual savings goals. The reduction in
8energy consumption at the premises shall be calculated as the
9difference between: (A) the reduction in Btu consumption of
10fossil fuels as a result of electrification, converted to
11kilowatt-hour equivalents by dividing by 3,412 Btus Btu's per
12kilowatt hour; and (B) the increase in kilowatt hours of
13electricity consumption resulting from the displacement of
14fossil fuel consumption as a result of electrification. An
15electric utility may recover the costs of offering and
16promoting electrification measures under this subsection
17(b-27).
18 In no event shall electrification savings counted toward
19each year's applicable annual total savings requirement, as
20defined in paragraph (7.5) of subsection (g) of this Section,
21be greater than:
22 (1) 5% per year for each year from 2022 through 2025;
23 (2) 10% per year for each year from 2026 through 2029;
24 and
25 (3) 15% per year for 2030 and all subsequent years.
26In addition, a minimum of 25% of all electrification savings

SB1797- 280 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1counted toward a utility's applicable annual total savings
2requirement must be from electrification of end uses in
3low-income housing. The limitations on electrification savings
4that may be counted toward a utility's annual savings goals
5are separate from and in addition to the subsection (b-25)
6limitations governing the counting of the other fuel savings
7resulting from efficiency measures and programs.
8 As part of the annual informational filing to the
9Commission that is required under paragraph (9) of subsection
10(g) of this Section, each utility shall identify the specific
11electrification measures offered under this subsection
12subjection (b-27); the quantity of each electrification
13measure that was installed by its customers; the average total
14cost, average utility cost, average reduction in fossil fuel
15consumption, and average increase in electricity consumption
16associated with each electrification measure; the portion of
17installations of each electrification measure that were in
18low-income single-family housing, low-income multifamily
19housing, non-low-income single-family housing, non-low-income
20multifamily housing, commercial buildings, and industrial
21facilities; and the quantity of savings associated with each
22measure category in each customer category that are being
23counted toward the utility's applicable annual total savings
24requirement. Prior to installing an electrification measure,
25the utility shall provide a customer with an estimate of the
26impact of the new measure on the customer's average monthly

SB1797- 281 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1electric bill and total annual energy expenses.
2 (c) Electric utilities shall be responsible for overseeing
3the design, development, and filing of energy efficiency plans
4with the Commission and may, as part of that implementation,
5outsource various aspects of program development and
6implementation. A minimum of 10%, for electric utilities that
7serve more than 3,000,000 retail customers in the State, and a
8minimum of 7%, for electric utilities that serve less than
93,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
10customers in the State, of the utility's entire portfolio
11funding level for a given year shall be used to procure
12cost-effective energy efficiency measures from units of local
13government, municipal corporations, school districts, public
14housing, and community college districts, provided that a
15minimum percentage of available funds shall be used to procure
16energy efficiency from public housing, which percentage shall
17be equal to public housing's share of public building energy
18consumption.
19 The utilities shall also implement energy efficiency
20measures targeted at low-income households, which, for
21purposes of this Section, shall be defined as households at or
22below 80% of area median income, and expenditures to implement
23the measures shall be no less than $40,000,000 per year for
24electric utilities that serve more than 3,000,000 retail
25customers in the State and no less than $13,000,000 per year
26for electric utilities that serve less than 3,000,000 retail

SB1797- 282 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1customers but more than 500,000 retail customers in the State.
2The ratio of spending on efficiency programs targeted at
3low-income multifamily buildings to spending on efficiency
4programs targeted at low-income single-family buildings shall
5be designed to achieve levels of savings from each building
6type that are approximately proportional to the magnitude of
7cost-effective lifetime savings potential in each building
8type. Investment in low-income whole-building weatherization
9programs shall constitute a minimum of 80% of a utility's
10total budget specifically dedicated to serving low-income
11customers.
12 The utilities shall work to bundle low-income energy
13efficiency offerings with other programs that serve low-income
14households to maximize the benefits going to these households.
15The utilities shall market and implement low-income energy
16efficiency programs in coordination with low-income assistance
17programs, the Illinois Solar for All Program, and
18weatherization whenever practicable. The program implementer
19shall walk the customer through the enrollment process for any
20programs for which the customer is eligible. The utilities
21shall also pilot targeting customers with high arrearages,
22high energy intensity (ratio of energy usage divided by home
23or unit square footage), or energy assistance programs with
24energy efficiency offerings, and then track reduction in
25arrearages as a result of the targeting. This targeting and
26bundling of low-income energy programs shall be offered to

SB1797- 283 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1both low-income single-family and multifamily customers
2(owners and residents).
3 The utilities shall invest in health and safety measures
4appropriate and necessary for comprehensively weatherizing a
5home or multifamily building, and shall implement a health and
6safety fund of at least 15% of the total income-qualified
7weatherization budget that shall be used for the purpose of
8making grants for technical assistance, construction,
9reconstruction, improvement, or repair of buildings to
10facilitate their participation in the energy efficiency
11programs targeted at low-income single-family and multifamily
12households. These funds may also be used for the purpose of
13making grants for technical assistance, construction,
14reconstruction, improvement, or repair of the following
15buildings to facilitate their participation in the energy
16efficiency programs created by this Section: (1) buildings
17that are owned or operated by registered 501(c)(3) public
18charities; and (2) child day care centers, child day care
19homes, or group child day care homes, as defined under 89 Ill.
20Adm. Code Part 406, 407, or 408, respectively.
21 Each electric utility shall assess opportunities to
22implement cost-effective energy efficiency measures and
23programs through a public housing authority or authorities
24located in its service territory. If such opportunities are
25identified, the utility shall propose such measures and
26programs to address the opportunities. Expenditures to address

SB1797- 284 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1such opportunities shall be credited toward the minimum
2procurement and expenditure requirements set forth in this
3subsection (c).
4 Implementation of energy efficiency measures and programs
5targeted at low-income households should be contracted, when
6it is practicable, to independent third parties that have
7demonstrated capabilities to serve such households, with a
8preference for not-for-profit entities and government agencies
9that have existing relationships with or experience serving
10low-income communities in the State.
11 Each electric utility shall develop and implement
12reporting procedures that address and assist in determining
13the amount of energy savings that can be applied to the
14low-income procurement and expenditure requirements set forth
15in this subsection (c). Each electric utility shall also track
16the types and quantities or volumes of insulation and air
17sealing materials, and their associated energy saving
18benefits, installed in energy efficiency programs targeted at
19low-income single-family and multifamily households.
20 The electric utilities shall participate in a low-income
21energy efficiency accountability committee ("the committee"),
22which will directly inform the design, implementation, and
23evaluation of the low-income and public-housing energy
24efficiency programs. The committee shall be comprised of the
25electric utilities subject to the requirements of this
26Section, the gas utilities subject to the requirements of

SB1797- 285 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1Section 8-104 of this Act, the utilities' low-income energy
2efficiency implementation contractors, nonprofit
3organizations, community action agencies, advocacy groups,
4State and local governmental agencies, public-housing
5organizations, and representatives of community-based
6organizations, especially those living in or working with
7environmental justice communities and BIPOC communities. The
8committee shall be composed of 2 geographically differentiated
9subcommittees: one for stakeholders in northern Illinois and
10one for stakeholders in central and southern Illinois. The
11subcommittees shall meet together at least twice per year.
12 There shall be one statewide leadership committee led by
13and composed of community-based organizations that are
14representative of BIPOC and environmental justice communities
15and that includes equitable representation from BIPOC
16communities. The leadership committee shall be composed of an
17equal number of representatives from the 2 subcommittees. The
18subcommittees shall address specific programs and issues, with
19the leadership committee convening targeted workgroups as
20needed. The leadership committee may elect to work with an
21independent facilitator to solicit and organize feedback,
22recommendations and meeting participation from a wide variety
23of community-based stakeholders. If a facilitator is used,
24they shall be fair and responsive to the needs of all
25stakeholders involved in the committee.
26 All committee meetings must be accessible, with rotating

1locations if meetings are held in-person, virtual
2participation options, and materials and agendas circulated in
3advance.
4 There shall also be opportunities for direct input by
5committee members outside of committee meetings, such as via
6individual meetings, surveys, emails and calls, to ensure
7robust participation by stakeholders with limited capacity and
8ability to attend committee meetings. Committee meetings shall
9emphasize opportunities to bundle and coordinate delivery of
10low-income energy efficiency with other programs that serve
11low-income communities, such as the Illinois Solar for All
12Program and bill payment assistance programs. Meetings shall
13include educational opportunities for stakeholders to learn
14more about these additional offerings, and the committee shall
15assist in figuring out the best methods for coordinated
16delivery and implementation of offerings when serving
17low-income communities. The committee shall directly and
18equitably influence and inform utility low-income and
19public-housing energy efficiency programs and priorities.
20Participating utilities shall implement recommendations from
21the committee whenever possible.
22 Participating utilities shall track and report how input
23from the committee has led to new approaches and changes in
24their energy efficiency portfolios. This reporting shall occur
25at committee meetings and in quarterly energy efficiency
26reports to the Stakeholder Advisory Group and Illinois

SB1797- 287 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1Commerce Commission, and other relevant reporting mechanisms.
2Participating utilities shall also report on relevant equity
3data and metrics requested by the committee, such as energy
4burden data, geographic, racial, and other relevant
5demographic data on where programs are being delivered and
6what populations programs are serving.
7 The Illinois Commerce Commission shall oversee and have
8relevant staff participate in the committee. The committee
9shall have a budget of 0.25% of each utility's entire
10efficiency portfolio funding for a given year. The budget
11shall be overseen by the Commission. The budget shall be used
12to provide grants for community-based organizations serving on
13the leadership committee, stipends for community-based
14organizations participating in the committee, grants for
15community-based organizations to do energy efficiency outreach
16and education, and relevant meeting needs as determined by the
17leadership committee. The education and outreach shall
18include, but is not limited to, basic energy efficiency
19education, information about low-income energy efficiency
20programs, and information on the committee's purpose,
21structure, and activities.
22 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
23contrary, a utility providing approved energy efficiency
24measures and, if applicable, demand-response measures in the
25State shall be permitted to recover all reasonable and
26prudently incurred costs of those measures from all retail

SB1797- 288 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1customers, except as provided in subsection (l) of this
2Section, as follows, provided that nothing in this subsection
3(d) permits the double recovery of such costs from customers:
4 (1) The utility may recover its costs through an
5 automatic adjustment clause tariff filed with and approved
6 by the Commission. The tariff shall be established outside
7 the context of a general rate case. Each year the
8 Commission shall initiate a review to reconcile any
9 amounts collected with the actual costs and to determine
10 the required adjustment to the annual tariff factor to
11 match annual expenditures. To enable the financing of the
12 incremental capital expenditures, including regulatory
13 assets, for electric utilities that serve less than
14 3,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
15 customers in the State, the utility's actual year-end
16 capital structure that includes a common equity ratio,
17 excluding goodwill, of up to and including 50% of the
18 total capital structure shall be deemed reasonable and
19 used to set rates.
20 (2) A utility may recover its costs through an energy
21 efficiency formula rate approved by the Commission under a
22 filing under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section,
23 which shall specify the cost components that form the
24 basis of the rate charged to customers with sufficient
25 specificity to operate in a standardized manner and be
26 updated annually with transparent information that

SB1797- 289 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 reflects the utility's actual costs to be recovered during
2 the applicable rate year, which is the period beginning
3 with the first billing day of January and extending
4 through the last billing day of the following December.
5 The energy efficiency formula rate shall be implemented
6 through a tariff filed with the Commission under
7 subsections (f) and (g) of this Section that is consistent
8 with the provisions of this paragraph (2) and that shall
9 be applicable to all delivery services customers. The
10 Commission shall conduct an investigation of the tariff in
11 a manner consistent with the provisions of this paragraph
12 (2), subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, and the
13 provisions of Article IX of this Act to the extent they do
14 not conflict with this paragraph (2). The energy
15 efficiency formula rate approved by the Commission shall
16 remain in effect at the discretion of the utility and
17 shall do the following:
18 (A) Provide for the recovery of the utility's
19 actual costs incurred under this Section that are
20 prudently incurred and reasonable in amount consistent
21 with Commission practice and law. The sole fact that a
22 cost differs from that incurred in a prior calendar
23 year or that an investment is different from that made
24 in a prior calendar year shall not imply the
25 imprudence or unreasonableness of that cost or
26 investment.

SB1797- 290 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (B) Reflect the utility's actual year-end capital
2 structure for the applicable calendar year, excluding
3 goodwill, subject to a determination of prudence and
4 reasonableness consistent with Commission practice and
5 law. To enable the financing of the incremental
6 capital expenditures, including regulatory assets, for
7 electric utilities that serve less than 3,000,000
8 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
9 customers in the State, a participating electric
10 utility's actual year-end capital structure that
11 includes a common equity ratio, excluding goodwill, of
12 up to and including 50% of the total capital structure
13 shall be deemed reasonable and used to set rates.
14 (C) Include a cost of equity, which shall be
15 calculated as the sum of the following:
16 (i) the average for the applicable calendar
17 year of the monthly average yields of 30-year U.S.
18 Treasury bonds published by the Board of Governors
19 of the Federal Reserve System in its weekly H.15
20 Statistical Release or successor publication; and
21 (ii) 580 basis points.
22 At such time as the Board of Governors of the
23 Federal Reserve System ceases to include the monthly
24 average yields of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds in its
25 weekly H.15 Statistical Release or successor
26 publication, the monthly average yields of the U.S.

SB1797- 291 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 Treasury bonds then having the longest duration
2 published by the Board of Governors in its weekly H.15
3 Statistical Release or successor publication shall
4 instead be used for purposes of this paragraph (2).
5 (D) Permit and set forth protocols, subject to a
6 determination of prudence and reasonableness
7 consistent with Commission practice and law, for the
8 following:
9 (i) recovery of incentive compensation expense
10 that is based on the achievement of operational
11 metrics, including metrics related to budget
12 controls, outage duration and frequency, safety,
13 customer service, efficiency and productivity, and
14 environmental compliance; however, this protocol
15 shall not apply if such expense related to costs
16 incurred under this Section is recovered under
17 Article IX or Section 16-108.5 of this Act;
18 incentive compensation expense that is based on
19 net income or an affiliate's earnings per share
20 shall not be recoverable under the energy
21 efficiency formula rate;
22 (ii) recovery of pension and other
23 post-employment benefits expense, provided that
24 such costs are supported by an actuarial study;
25 however, this protocol shall not apply if such
26 expense related to costs incurred under this

SB1797- 292 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 Section is recovered under Article IX or Section
2 16-108.5 of this Act;
3 (iii) recovery of existing regulatory assets
4 over the periods previously authorized by the
5 Commission;
6 (iv) as described in subsection (e),
7 amortization of costs incurred under this Section;
8 and
9 (v) projected, weather normalized billing
10 determinants for the applicable rate year.
11 (E) Provide for an annual reconciliation, as
12 described in paragraph (3) of this subsection (d),
13 less any deferred taxes related to the reconciliation,
14 with interest at an annual rate of return equal to the
15 utility's weighted average cost of capital, including
16 a revenue conversion factor calculated to recover or
17 refund all additional income taxes that may be payable
18 or receivable as a result of that return, of the energy
19 efficiency revenue requirement reflected in rates for
20 each calendar year, beginning with the calendar year
21 in which the utility files its energy efficiency
22 formula rate tariff under this paragraph (2), with
23 what the revenue requirement would have been had the
24 actual cost information for the applicable calendar
25 year been available at the filing date.
26 The utility shall file, together with its tariff, the

SB1797- 293 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 projected costs to be incurred by the utility during the
2 rate year under the utility's multi-year plan approved
3 under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section, including,
4 but not limited to, the projected capital investment costs
5 and projected regulatory asset balances with
6 correspondingly updated depreciation and amortization
7 reserves and expense, that shall populate the energy
8 efficiency formula rate and set the initial rates under
9 the formula.
10 The Commission shall review the proposed tariff in
11 conjunction with its review of a proposed multi-year plan,
12 as specified in paragraph (5) of subsection (g) of this
13 Section. The review shall be based on the same evidentiary
14 standards, including, but not limited to, those concerning
15 the prudence and reasonableness of the costs incurred by
16 the utility, the Commission applies in a hearing to review
17 a filing for a general increase in rates under Article IX
18 of this Act. The initial rates shall take effect beginning
19 with the January monthly billing period following the
20 Commission's approval.
21 The tariff's rate design and cost allocation across
22 customer classes shall be consistent with the utility's
23 automatic adjustment clause tariff in effect on June 1,
24 2017 (the effective date of Public Act 99-906); however,
25 the Commission may revise the tariff's rate design and
26 cost allocation in subsequent proceedings under paragraph

SB1797- 294 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (3) of this subsection (d).
2 If the energy efficiency formula rate is terminated,
3 the then current rates shall remain in effect until such
4 time as the energy efficiency costs are incorporated into
5 new rates that are set under this subsection (d) or
6 Article IX of this Act, subject to retroactive rate
7 adjustment, with interest, to reconcile rates charged with
8 actual costs.
9 (3) The provisions of this paragraph (3) shall only
10 apply to an electric utility that has elected to file an
11 energy efficiency formula rate under paragraph (2) of this
12 subsection (d). Subsequent to the Commission's issuance of
13 an order approving the utility's energy efficiency formula
14 rate structure and protocols, and initial rates under
15 paragraph (2) of this subsection (d), the utility shall
16 file, on or before June 1 of each year, with the Chief
17 Clerk of the Commission its updated cost inputs to the
18 energy efficiency formula rate for the applicable rate
19 year and the corresponding new charges, as well as the
20 information described in paragraph (9) of subsection (g)
21 of this Section. Each such filing shall conform to the
22 following requirements and include the following
23 information:
24 (A) The inputs to the energy efficiency formula
25 rate for the applicable rate year shall be based on the
26 projected costs to be incurred by the utility during

SB1797- 295 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 the rate year under the utility's multi-year plan
2 approved under subsections (f) and (g) of this
3 Section, including, but not limited to, projected
4 capital investment costs and projected regulatory
5 asset balances with correspondingly updated
6 depreciation and amortization reserves and expense.
7 The filing shall also include a reconciliation of the
8 energy efficiency revenue requirement that was in
9 effect for the prior rate year (as set by the cost
10 inputs for the prior rate year) with the actual
11 revenue requirement for the prior rate year
12 (determined using a year-end rate base) that uses
13 amounts reflected in the applicable FERC Form 1 that
14 reports the actual costs for the prior rate year. Any
15 over-collection or under-collection indicated by such
16 reconciliation shall be reflected as a credit against,
17 or recovered as an additional charge to, respectively,
18 with interest calculated at a rate equal to the
19 utility's weighted average cost of capital approved by
20 the Commission for the prior rate year, the charges
21 for the applicable rate year. Such over-collection or
22 under-collection shall be adjusted to remove any
23 deferred taxes related to the reconciliation, for
24 purposes of calculating interest at an annual rate of
25 return equal to the utility's weighted average cost of
26 capital approved by the Commission for the prior rate

SB1797- 296 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 year, including a revenue conversion factor calculated
2 to recover or refund all additional income taxes that
3 may be payable or receivable as a result of that
4 return. Each reconciliation shall be certified by the
5 participating utility in the same manner that FERC
6 Form 1 is certified. The filing shall also include the
7 charge or credit, if any, resulting from the
8 calculation required by subparagraph (E) of paragraph
9 (2) of this subsection (d).
10 Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the
11 contrary, the intent of the reconciliation is to
12 ultimately reconcile both the revenue requirement
13 reflected in rates for each calendar year, beginning
14 with the calendar year in which the utility files its
15 energy efficiency formula rate tariff under paragraph
16 (2) of this subsection (d), with what the revenue
17 requirement determined using a year-end rate base for
18 the applicable calendar year would have been had the
19 actual cost information for the applicable calendar
20 year been available at the filing date.
21 For purposes of this Section, "FERC Form 1" means
22 the Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities,
23 Licensees and Others that electric utilities are
24 required to file with the Federal Energy Regulatory
25 Commission under the Federal Power Act, Sections 3,
26 4(a), 304 and 209, modified as necessary to be

SB1797- 297 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 consistent with 83 Ill. Adm. Admin. Code Part 415 as of
2 May 1, 2011. Nothing in this Section is intended to
3 allow costs that are not otherwise recoverable to be
4 recoverable by virtue of inclusion in FERC Form 1.
5 (B) The new charges shall take effect beginning on
6 the first billing day of the following January billing
7 period and remain in effect through the last billing
8 day of the next December billing period regardless of
9 whether the Commission enters upon a hearing under
10 this paragraph (3).
11 (C) The filing shall include relevant and
12 necessary data and documentation for the applicable
13 rate year. Normalization adjustments shall not be
14 required.
15 Within 45 days after the utility files its annual
16 update of cost inputs to the energy efficiency formula
17 rate, the Commission shall with reasonable notice,
18 initiate a proceeding concerning whether the projected
19 costs to be incurred by the utility and recovered during
20 the applicable rate year, and that are reflected in the
21 inputs to the energy efficiency formula rate, are
22 consistent with the utility's approved multi-year plan
23 under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section and whether
24 the costs incurred by the utility during the prior rate
25 year were prudent and reasonable. The Commission shall
26 also have the authority to investigate the information and

SB1797- 298 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 data described in paragraph (9) of subsection (g) of this
2 Section, including the proposed adjustment to the
3 utility's return on equity component of its weighted
4 average cost of capital. During the course of the
5 proceeding, each objection shall be stated with
6 particularity and evidence provided in support thereof,
7 after which the utility shall have the opportunity to
8 rebut the evidence. Discovery shall be allowed consistent
9 with the Commission's Rules of Practice, which Rules of
10 Practice shall be enforced by the Commission or the
11 assigned administrative law judge. The Commission shall
12 apply the same evidentiary standards, including, but not
13 limited to, those concerning the prudence and
14 reasonableness of the costs incurred by the utility,
15 during the proceeding as it would apply in a proceeding to
16 review a filing for a general increase in rates under
17 Article IX of this Act. The Commission shall not, however,
18 have the authority in a proceeding under this paragraph
19 (3) to consider or order any changes to the structure or
20 protocols of the energy efficiency formula rate approved
21 under paragraph (2) of this subsection (d). In a
22 proceeding under this paragraph (3), the Commission shall
23 enter its order no later than the earlier of 195 days after
24 the utility's filing of its annual update of cost inputs
25 to the energy efficiency formula rate or December 15. The
26 utility's proposed return on equity calculation, as

SB1797- 299 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 described in paragraphs (7) through (9) of subsection (g)
2 of this Section, shall be deemed the final, approved
3 calculation on December 15 of the year in which it is filed
4 unless the Commission enters an order on or before
5 December 15, after notice and hearing, that modifies such
6 calculation consistent with this Section. The Commission's
7 determinations of the prudence and reasonableness of the
8 costs incurred, and determination of such return on equity
9 calculation, for the applicable calendar year shall be
10 final upon entry of the Commission's order and shall not
11 be subject to reopening, reexamination, or collateral
12 attack in any other Commission proceeding, case, docket,
13 order, rule, or regulation; however, nothing in this
14 paragraph (3) shall prohibit a party from petitioning the
15 Commission to rehear or appeal to the courts the order
16 under the provisions of this Act.
17 (e) Beginning on June 1, 2017 (the effective date of
18Public Act 99-906), a utility subject to the requirements of
19this Section may elect to defer, as a regulatory asset, up to
20the full amount of its expenditures incurred under this
21Section for each annual period, including, but not limited to,
22any expenditures incurred above the funding level set by
23subsection (f) of this Section for a given year. The total
24expenditures deferred as a regulatory asset in a given year
25shall be amortized and recovered over a period that is equal to
26the weighted average of the energy efficiency measure lives

SB1797- 300 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1implemented for that year that are reflected in the regulatory
2asset. The unamortized balance shall be recognized as of
3December 31 for a given year. The utility shall also earn a
4return on the total of the unamortized balances of all of the
5energy efficiency regulatory assets, less any deferred taxes
6related to those unamortized balances, at an annual rate equal
7to the utility's weighted average cost of capital that
8includes, based on a year-end capital structure, the utility's
9actual cost of debt for the applicable calendar year and a cost
10of equity, which shall be calculated as the sum of the (i) the
11average for the applicable calendar year of the monthly
12average yields of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds published by the
13Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in its weekly
14H.15 Statistical Release or successor publication; and (ii)
15580 basis points, including a revenue conversion factor
16calculated to recover or refund all additional income taxes
17that may be payable or receivable as a result of that return.
18Capital investment costs shall be depreciated and recovered
19over their useful lives consistent with generally accepted
20accounting principles. The weighted average cost of capital
21shall be applied to the capital investment cost balance, less
22any accumulated depreciation and accumulated deferred income
23taxes, as of December 31 for a given year.
24 When an electric utility creates a regulatory asset under
25the provisions of this Section, the costs are recovered over a
26period during which customers also receive a benefit which is

SB1797- 301 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1in the public interest. Accordingly, it is the intent of the
2General Assembly that an electric utility that elects to
3create a regulatory asset under the provisions of this Section
4shall recover all of the associated costs as set forth in this
5Section. After the Commission has approved the prudence and
6reasonableness of the costs that comprise the regulatory
7asset, the electric utility shall be permitted to recover all
8such costs, and the value and recoverability through rates of
9the associated regulatory asset shall not be limited, altered,
10impaired, or reduced.
11 (f) Beginning in 2017, each electric utility shall file an
12energy efficiency plan with the Commission to meet the energy
13efficiency standards for the next applicable multi-year period
14beginning January 1 of the year following the filing,
15according to the schedule set forth in paragraphs (1) through
16(3) of this subsection (f). If a utility does not file such a
17plan on or before the applicable filing deadline for the plan,
18it shall face a penalty of $100,000 per day until the plan is
19filed.
20 (1) No later than 30 days after June 1, 2017 (the
21 effective date of Public Act 99-906), each electric
22 utility shall file a 4-year energy efficiency plan
23 commencing on January 1, 2018 that is designed to achieve
24 the cumulative persisting annual savings goals specified
25 in paragraphs (1) through (4) of subsection (b-5) of this
26 Section or in paragraphs (1) through (4) of subsection

SB1797- 302 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (b-15) of this Section, as applicable, through
2 implementation of energy efficiency measures; however, the
3 goals may be reduced if the utility's expenditures are
4 limited pursuant to subsection (m) of this Section or, for
5 a utility that serves less than 3,000,000 retail
6 customers, if each of the following conditions are met:
7 (A) the plan's analysis and forecasts of the utility's
8 ability to acquire energy savings demonstrate that
9 achievement of such goals is not cost effective; and (B)
10 the amount of energy savings achieved by the utility as
11 determined by the independent evaluator for the most
12 recent year for which savings have been evaluated
13 preceding the plan filing was less than the average annual
14 amount of savings required to achieve the goals for the
15 applicable 4-year plan period. Except as provided in
16 subsection (m) of this Section, annual increases in
17 cumulative persisting annual savings goals during the
18 applicable 4-year plan period shall not be reduced to
19 amounts that are less than the maximum amount of
20 cumulative persisting annual savings that is forecast to
21 be cost-effectively achievable during the 4-year plan
22 period. The Commission shall review any proposed goal
23 reduction as part of its review and approval of the
24 utility's proposed plan.
25 (2) No later than March 1, 2021, each electric utility
26 shall file a 4-year energy efficiency plan commencing on

SB1797- 303 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 January 1, 2022 that is designed to achieve the cumulative
2 persisting annual savings goals specified in paragraphs
3 (5) through (8) of subsection (b-5) of this Section or in
4 paragraphs (5) through (8) of subsection (b-15) of this
5 Section, as applicable, through implementation of energy
6 efficiency measures; however, the goals may be reduced if
7 either (1) clear and convincing evidence demonstrates,
8 through independent analysis, that the expenditure limits
9 in subsection (m) of this Section preclude full
10 achievement of the goals or (2) each of the following
11 conditions are met: (A) the plan's analysis and forecasts
12 of the utility's ability to acquire energy savings
13 demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence and through
14 independent analysis that achievement of such goals is not
15 cost effective; and (B) the amount of energy savings
16 achieved by the utility as determined by the independent
17 evaluator for the most recent year for which savings have
18 been evaluated preceding the plan filing was less than the
19 average annual amount of savings required to achieve the
20 goals for the applicable 4-year plan period. If there is
21 not clear and convincing evidence that achieving the
22 savings goals specified in paragraph (b-5) or (b-15) of
23 this Section is possible both cost-effectively and within
24 the expenditure limits in subsection (m), such savings
25 goals shall not be reduced. Except as provided in
26 subsection (m) of this Section, annual increases in

SB1797- 304 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 cumulative persisting annual savings goals during the
2 applicable 4-year plan period shall not be reduced to
3 amounts that are less than the maximum amount of
4 cumulative persisting annual savings that is forecast to
5 be cost-effectively achievable during the 4-year plan
6 period. The Commission shall review any proposed goal
7 reduction as part of its review and approval of the
8 utility's proposed plan.
9 (3) No later than March 1, 2025, each electric utility
10 shall file a 4-year energy efficiency plan commencing on
11 January 1, 2026 that is designed to achieve the cumulative
12 persisting annual savings goals specified in paragraphs
13 (9) through (12) of subsection (b-5) of this Section or in
14 paragraphs (9) through (12) of subsection (b-15) of this
15 Section, as applicable, through implementation of energy
16 efficiency measures; however, the goals may be reduced if
17 either (1) clear and convincing evidence demonstrates,
18 through independent analysis, that the expenditure limits
19 in subsection (m) of this Section preclude full
20 achievement of the goals or (2) each of the following
21 conditions are met: (A) the plan's analysis and forecasts
22 of the utility's ability to acquire energy savings
23 demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence and through
24 independent analysis that achievement of such goals is not
25 cost effective; and (B) the amount of energy savings
26 achieved by the utility as determined by the independent

SB1797- 305 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 evaluator for the most recent year for which savings have
2 been evaluated preceding the plan filing was less than the
3 average annual amount of savings required to achieve the
4 goals for the applicable 4-year plan period. If there is
5 not clear and convincing evidence that achieving the
6 savings goals specified in paragraphs (b-5) or (b-15) of
7 this Section is possible both cost-effectively and within
8 the expenditure limits in subsection (m), such savings
9 goals shall not be reduced. Except as provided in
10 subsection (m) of this Section, annual increases in
11 cumulative persisting annual savings goals during the
12 applicable 4-year plan period shall not be reduced to
13 amounts that are less than the maximum amount of
14 cumulative persisting annual savings that is forecast to
15 be cost-effectively achievable during the 4-year plan
16 period. The Commission shall review any proposed goal
17 reduction as part of its review and approval of the
18 utility's proposed plan.
19 (4) No later than March 1, 2029, and every 4 years
20 thereafter, each electric utility shall file a 4-year
21 energy efficiency plan commencing on January 1, 2030, and
22 every 4 years thereafter, respectively, that is designed
23 to achieve the cumulative persisting annual savings goals
24 established by the Illinois Commerce Commission pursuant
25 to direction of subsections (b-5) and (b-15) of this
26 Section, as applicable, through implementation of energy

SB1797- 306 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 efficiency measures; however, the goals may be reduced if
2 either (1) clear and convincing evidence and independent
3 analysis demonstrates that the expenditure limits in
4 subsection (m) of this Section preclude full achievement
5 of the goals or (2) each of the following conditions are
6 met: (A) the plan's analysis and forecasts of the
7 utility's ability to acquire energy savings demonstrate by
8 clear and convincing evidence and through independent
9 analysis that achievement of such goals is not
10 cost-effective; and (B) the amount of energy savings
11 achieved by the utility as determined by the independent
12 evaluator for the most recent year for which savings have
13 been evaluated preceding the plan filing was less than the
14 average annual amount of savings required to achieve the
15 goals for the applicable 4-year plan period. If there is
16 not clear and convincing evidence that achieving the
17 savings goals specified in paragraphs (b-5) or (b-15) of
18 this Section is possible both cost-effectively and within
19 the expenditure limits in subsection (m), such savings
20 goals shall not be reduced. Except as provided in
21 subsection (m) of this Section, annual increases in
22 cumulative persisting annual savings goals during the
23 applicable 4-year plan period shall not be reduced to
24 amounts that are less than the maximum amount of
25 cumulative persisting annual savings that is forecast to
26 be cost-effectively achievable during the 4-year plan

SB1797- 307 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 period. The Commission shall review any proposed goal
2 reduction as part of its review and approval of the
3 utility's proposed plan.
4 Each utility's plan shall set forth the utility's
5proposals to meet the energy efficiency standards identified
6in subsection (b-5) or (b-15), as applicable and as such
7standards may have been modified under this subsection (f),
8taking into account the unique circumstances of the utility's
9service territory. For those plans commencing on January 1,
102018, the Commission shall seek public comment on the
11utility's plan and shall issue an order approving or
12disapproving each plan no later than 105 days after June 1,
132017 (the effective date of Public Act 99-906). For those
14plans commencing after December 31, 2021, the Commission shall
15seek public comment on the utility's plan and shall issue an
16order approving or disapproving each plan within 6 months
17after its submission. If the Commission disapproves a plan,
18the Commission shall, within 30 days, describe in detail the
19reasons for the disapproval and describe a path by which the
20utility may file a revised draft of the plan to address the
21Commission's concerns satisfactorily. If the utility does not
22refile with the Commission within 60 days, the utility shall
23be subject to penalties at a rate of $100,000 per day until the
24plan is filed. This process shall continue, and penalties
25shall accrue, until the utility has successfully filed a
26portfolio of energy efficiency and demand-response measures.

25 represents a diverse cross-section of opportunities for
26 customers of all rate classes, other than those customers

SB1797- 309 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 described in subsection (l) of this Section, to
2 participate in the programs. Individual measures need not
3 be cost effective.
4 (3.5) Demonstrate that the utility's plan integrates
5 the delivery of energy efficiency programs with natural
6 gas efficiency programs, programs promoting distributed
7 solar, programs promoting demand response and other
8 efforts to address bill payment issues, including, but not
9 limited to, LIHEAP and the Percentage of Income Payment
10 Plan, to the extent such integration is practical and has
11 the potential to enhance customer engagement, minimize
12 market confusion, or reduce administrative costs.
13 (4) Present a third-party energy efficiency
14 implementation program subject to the following
15 requirements:
16 (A) beginning with the year commencing January 1,
17 2019, electric utilities that serve more than
18 3,000,000 retail customers in the State shall fund
19 third-party energy efficiency programs in an amount
20 that is no less than $25,000,000 per year, and

7 rank them according to their cost per lifetime
8 kilowatt-hours saved, and assemble the portfolio of
9 third-party programs.
10 The electric utility shall recover all costs
11 associated with Commission-approved, third-party
12 administered programs regardless of the success of those
13 programs.
14 (4.5) Implement cost-effective demand-response
15 measures to reduce peak demand by 0.1% over the prior year
16 for eligible retail customers, as defined in Section
17 16-111.5 of this Act, and for customers that elect hourly
18 service from the utility pursuant to Section 16-107 of
19 this Act, provided those customers have not been declared
20 competitive. This requirement continues until December 31,
21 2026.
22 (5) Include a proposed or revised cost-recovery tariff
23 mechanism, as provided for under subsection (d) of this
24 Section, to fund the proposed energy efficiency and
25 demand-response measures and to ensure the recovery of the
26 prudently and reasonably incurred costs of

SB1797- 312 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 Commission-approved programs.
2 (6) Provide for an annual independent evaluation of
3 the performance of the cost-effectiveness of the utility's
4 portfolio of measures, as well as a full review of the
5 multi-year plan results of the broader net program impacts
6 and, to the extent practical, for adjustment of the
7 measures on a going-forward basis as a result of the
8 evaluations. The resources dedicated to evaluation shall
9 not exceed 3% of portfolio resources in any given year.
10 (7) For electric utilities that serve more than
11 3,000,000 retail customers in the State:
12 (A) Through December 31, 2025, provide for an
13 adjustment to the return on equity component of the
14 utility's weighted average cost of capital calculated
15 under subsection (d) of this Section:
16 (i) If the independent evaluator determines
17 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
18 annual savings that is less than the applicable
19 annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
20 component shall be reduced by a maximum of 200
21 basis points in the event that the utility
22 achieved no more than 75% of such goal. If the
23 utility achieved more than 75% of the applicable
24 annual incremental goal but less than 100% of such
25 goal, then the return on equity component shall be
26 reduced by 8 basis points for each percent by

SB1797- 313 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 which the utility failed to achieve the goal.
2 (ii) If the independent evaluator determines
3 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
4 annual savings that is more than the applicable
5 annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
6 component shall be increased by a maximum of 200
7 basis points in the event that the utility
8 achieved at least 125% of such goal. If the
9 utility achieved more than 100% of the applicable
10 annual incremental goal but less than 125% of such
11 goal, then the return on equity component shall be
12 increased by 8 basis points for each percent by
13 which the utility achieved above the goal. If the
14 applicable annual incremental goal was reduced
15 under paragraph paragraphs (1) or (2) of
16 subsection (f) of this Section, then the following
17 adjustments shall be made to the calculations
18 described in this item (ii):
19 (aa) the calculation for determining
20 achievement that is at least 125% of the
21 applicable annual incremental goal shall use
22 the unreduced applicable annual incremental
23 goal to set the value; and
24 (bb) the calculation for determining
25 achievement that is less than 125% but more
26 than 100% of the applicable annual incremental

SB1797- 314 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 goal shall use the reduced applicable annual
2 incremental goal to set the value for 100%
3 achievement of the goal and shall use the
4 unreduced goal to set the value for 125%
5 achievement. The 8 basis point value shall
6 also be modified, as necessary, so that the
7 200 basis points are evenly apportioned among
8 each percentage point value between 100% and
9 125% achievement.
10 (B) For the period January 1, 2026 through
11 December 31, 2029 and in all subsequent 4-year
12 periods, provide for an adjustment to the return on
13 equity component of the utility's weighted average
14 cost of capital calculated under subsection (d) of
15 this Section:
16 (i) If the independent evaluator determines
17 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
18 annual savings that is less than the applicable
19 annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
20 component shall be reduced by a maximum of 200
21 basis points in the event that the utility
22 achieved no more than 66% of such goal. If the
23 utility achieved more than 66% of the applicable
24 annual incremental goal but less than 100% of such
25 goal, then the return on equity component shall be
26 reduced by 6 basis points for each percent by

SB1797- 315 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 which the utility failed to achieve the goal.
2 (ii) If the independent evaluator determines
3 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
4 annual savings that is more than the applicable
5 annual incremental goal, then the return on equity
6 component shall be increased by a maximum of 200
7 basis points in the event that the utility
8 achieved at least 134% of such goal. If the
9 utility achieved more than 100% of the applicable
10 annual incremental goal but less than 134% of such
11 goal, then the return on equity component shall be
12 increased by 6 basis points for each percent by
13 which the utility achieved above the goal. If the
14 applicable annual incremental goal was reduced
15 under paragraph (3) of subsection (f) of this
16 Section, then the following adjustments shall be
17 made to the calculations described in this item
18 (ii):
19 (aa) the calculation for determining
20 achievement that is at least 134% of the
21 applicable annual incremental goal shall use
22 the unreduced applicable annual incremental
23 goal to set the value; and
24 (bb) the calculation for determining
25 achievement that is less than 134% but more
26 than 100% of the applicable annual incremental

SB1797- 316 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 goal shall use the reduced applicable annual
2 incremental goal to set the value for 100%
3 achievement of the goal and shall use the
4 unreduced goal to set the value for 134%
5 achievement. The 6 basis point value shall
6 also be modified, as necessary, so that the
7 200 basis points are evenly apportioned among
8 each percentage point value between 100% and
9 134% achievement.
10 (C) Notwithstanding the provisions of
11 subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this paragraph (7), if
12 the applicable annual incremental goal for an electric
13 utility is ever less than 0.6% of deemed average
14 weather normalized sales of electric power and energy
15 during calendar years 2014, 2015, and 2016, an
16 adjustment to the return on equity component of the
17 utility's weighted average cost of capital calculated
18 under subsection (d) of this Section shall be made as
19 follows:
20 (i) If the independent evaluator determines
21 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
22 annual savings that is less than would have been
23 achieved had the applicable annual incremental
24 goal been achieved, then the return on equity
25 component shall be reduced by a maximum of 200
26 basis points if the utility achieved no more than

SB1797- 317 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 75% of its applicable annual total savings
2 requirement as defined in paragraph (7.5) of this
3 subsection. If the utility achieved more than 75%
4 of the applicable annual total savings requirement
5 but less than 100% of such goal, then the return on
6 equity component shall be reduced by 8 basis
7 points for each percent by which the utility
8 failed to achieve the goal.
9 (ii) If the independent evaluator determines
10 that the utility achieved a cumulative persisting
11 annual savings that is more than would have been
12 achieved had the applicable annual incremental
13 goal been achieved, then the return on equity
14 component shall be increased by a maximum of 200
15 basis points if the utility achieved at least 125%
16 of its applicable annual total savings
17 requirement. If the utility achieved more than
18 100% of the applicable annual total savings
19 requirement but less than 125% of such goal, then
20 the return on equity component shall be increased
21 by 8 basis points for each percent by which the
22 utility achieved above the applicable annual total
23 savings requirement. If the applicable annual
24 incremental goal was reduced under paragraph (1)
25 or (2) of subsection (f) of this Section, then the
26 following adjustments shall be made to the

SB1797- 318 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 calculations described in this item (ii):
2 (aa) the calculation for determining
3 achievement that is at least 125% of the
4 applicable annual total savings requirement
5 shall use the unreduced applicable annual
6 incremental goal to set the value; and
7 (bb) the calculation for determining
8 achievement that is less than 125% but more
9 than 100% of the applicable annual total
10 savings requirement shall use the reduced
11 applicable annual incremental goal to set the
12 value for 100% achievement of the goal and
13 shall use the unreduced goal to set the value
14 for 125% achievement. The 8 basis point value
15 shall also be modified, as necessary, so that
16 the 200 basis points are evenly apportioned
17 among each percentage point value between 100%
18 and 125% achievement.
19 (7.5) For purposes of this Section, the term
20 "applicable annual incremental goal" means the difference
21 between the cumulative persisting annual savings goal for
22 the calendar year that is the subject of the independent
23 evaluator's determination and the cumulative persisting
24 annual savings goal for the immediately preceding calendar
25 year, as such goals are defined in subsections (b-5) and
26 (b-15) of this Section and as these goals may have been

SB1797- 319 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 modified as provided for under subsection (b-20) and
2 paragraphs (1) through (3) of subsection (f) of this
3 Section. Under subsections (b), (b-5), (b-10), and (b-15)
4 of this Section, a utility must first replace energy
5 savings from measures that have expired before any
6 progress towards achievement of its applicable annual
7 incremental goal may be counted. Savings may expire
8 because measures installed in previous years have reached
9 the end of their lives, because measures installed in
10 previous years are producing lower savings in the current
11 year than in the previous year, or for other reasons
12 identified by independent evaluators. Notwithstanding
13 anything else set forth in this Section, the difference
14 between the actual annual incremental savings achieved in
15 any given year, including the replacement of energy
16 savings that have expired, and the applicable annual
17 incremental goal shall not affect adjustments to the
18 return on equity for subsequent calendar years under this
19 subsection (g).
20 In this Section, "applicable annual total savings
21 requirement" means the total amount of new annual savings
22 that the utility must achieve in any given year to achieve
23 the applicable annual incremental goal. This is equal to
24 the applicable annual incremental goal plus the total new
25 annual savings that are required to replace savings that
26 expired in or at the end of the previous year.

SB1797- 320 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (8) For electric utilities that serve less than
2 3,000,000 retail customers but more than 500,000 retail
3 customers in the State:
4 (A) Through December 31, 2025, the applicable
5 annual incremental goal shall be compared to the
6 annual incremental savings as determined by the
7 independent evaluator.
8 (i) The return on equity component shall be
9 reduced by 8 basis points for each percent by
10 which the utility did not achieve 84.4% of the
11 applicable annual incremental goal.
12 (ii) The return on equity component shall be
13 increased by 8 basis points for each percent by
14 which the utility exceeded 100% of the applicable
15 annual incremental goal.
16 (iii) The return on equity component shall not
17 be increased or decreased if the annual
18 incremental savings as determined by the
19 independent evaluator is greater than 84.4% of the
20 applicable annual incremental goal and less than
21 100% of the applicable annual incremental goal.
22 (iv) The return on equity component shall not
23 be increased or decreased by an amount greater
24 than 200 basis points pursuant to this
25 subparagraph (A).
26 (B) For the period of January 1, 2026 through

SB1797- 321 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 December 31, 2029 and in all subsequent 4-year
2 periods, the applicable annual incremental goal shall
3 be compared to the annual incremental savings as
4 determined by the independent evaluator.
5 (i) The return on equity component shall be
6 reduced by 6 basis points for each percent by
7 which the utility did not achieve 100% of the
8 applicable annual incremental goal.
9 (ii) The return on equity component shall be
10 increased by 6 basis points for each percent by
11 which the utility exceeded 100% of the applicable
12 annual incremental goal.
13 (iii) The return on equity component shall not
14 be increased or decreased by an amount greater
15 than 200 basis points pursuant to this
16 subparagraph (B).
17 (C) Notwithstanding provisions in subparagraphs
18 (A) and (B) of paragraph (7) of this subsection, if the
19 applicable annual incremental goal for an electric
20 utility is ever less than 0.6% of deemed average
21 weather normalized sales of electric power and energy
22 during calendar years 2014, 2015 and 2016, an
23 adjustment to the return on equity component of the
24 utility's weighted average cost of capital calculated
25 under subsection (d) of this Section shall be made as
26 follows:

SB1797- 322 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (i) The return on equity component shall be
2 reduced by 8 basis points for each percent by
3 which the utility did not achieve 100% of the
4 applicable annual total savings requirement.
5 (ii) The return on equity component shall be
6 increased by 8 basis points for each percent by
7 which the utility exceeded 100% of the applicable
8 annual total savings requirement.
9 (iii) The return on equity component shall not
10 be increased or decreased by an amount greater
11 than 200 basis points pursuant to this
12 subparagraph (C).
13 (D) If the applicable annual incremental goal was
14 reduced under paragraph (1), (2), (3), or (4) of
15 subsection (f) of this Section, then the following
16 adjustments shall be made to the calculations
17 described in subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) of this
18 paragraph (8):
19 (i) The calculation for determining
20 achievement that is at least 125% or 134%, as
21 applicable, of the applicable annual incremental
22 goal or the applicable annual total savings
23 requirement, as applicable, shall use the
24 unreduced applicable annual incremental goal to
25 set the value.
26 (ii) For the period through December 31, 2025,

SB1797- 323 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 the calculation for determining achievement that
2 is less than 125% but more than 100% of the
3 applicable annual incremental goal or the
4 applicable annual total savings requirement, as
5 applicable, shall use the reduced applicable
6 annual incremental goal to set the value for 100%
7 achievement of the goal and shall use the
8 unreduced goal to set the value for 125%
9 achievement. The 8 basis point value shall also be
10 modified, as necessary, so that the 200 basis
11 points are evenly apportioned among each
12 percentage point value between 100% and 125%
13 achievement.
14 (iii) For the period of January 1, 2026
15 through December 31, 2029 and all subsequent
16 4-year periods, the calculation for determining
17 achievement that is less than 125% or 134%, as
18 applicable, but more than 100% of the applicable
19 annual incremental goal or the applicable annual
20 total savings requirement, as applicable, shall
21 use the reduced applicable annual incremental goal
22 to set the value for 100% achievement of the goal
23 and shall use the unreduced goal to set the value
24 for 125% achievement. The 6 basis-point value or 8
25 basis-point value, as applicable, shall also be
26 modified, as necessary, so that the 200 basis

SB1797- 324 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 points are evenly apportioned among each
2 percentage point value between 100% and 125% or
3 between 100% and 134% achievement, as applicable.
4 (9) The utility shall submit the energy savings data
5 to the independent evaluator no later than 30 days after
6 the close of the plan year. The independent evaluator
7 shall determine the cumulative persisting annual savings
8 for a given plan year, as well as an estimate of job
9 impacts and other macroeconomic impacts of the efficiency
10 programs for that year, no later than 120 days after the
11 close of the plan year. The utility shall submit an
12 informational filing to the Commission no later than 160
13 days after the close of the plan year that attaches the
14 independent evaluator's final report identifying the
15 cumulative persisting annual savings for the year and
16 calculates, under paragraph (7) or (8) of this subsection
17 (g), as applicable, any resulting change to the utility's
18 return on equity component of the weighted average cost of
19 capital applicable to the next plan year beginning with
20 the January monthly billing period and extending through
21 the December monthly billing period. However, if the
22 utility recovers the costs incurred under this Section
23 under paragraphs (2) and (3) of subsection (d) of this
24 Section, then the utility shall not be required to submit
25 such informational filing, and shall instead submit the
26 information that would otherwise be included in the

SB1797- 325 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 informational filing as part of its filing under paragraph
2 (3) of such subsection (d) that is due on or before June 1
3 of each year.
4 For those utilities that must submit the informational
5 filing, the Commission may, on its own motion or by
6 petition, initiate an investigation of such filing,
7 provided, however, that the utility's proposed return on
8 equity calculation shall be deemed the final, approved
9 calculation on December 15 of the year in which it is filed
10 unless the Commission enters an order on or before
11 December 15, after notice and hearing, that modifies such
12 calculation consistent with this Section.
13 The adjustments to the return on equity component
14 described in paragraphs (7) and (8) of this subsection (g)
15 shall be applied as described in such paragraphs through a
16 separate tariff mechanism, which shall be filed by the
17 utility under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section.
18 (9.5) The utility must demonstrate how it will ensure
19 that program implementation contractors and energy
20 efficiency installation vendors will promote workforce
21 equity and quality jobs.
22 (9.6) Utilities shall collect data necessary to ensure
23 compliance with paragraph (9.5) no less than quarterly and
24 shall communicate progress toward compliance with
25 paragraph (9.5) to program implementation contractors and
26 energy efficiency installation vendors no less than

SB1797- 326 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 quarterly. Utilities shall work with relevant vendors,
2 providing education, training, and other resources needed
3 to ensure compliance and, where necessary, adjusting or
4 terminating work with vendors that cannot assist with
5 compliance.
6 (10) Utilities required to implement efficiency
7 programs under subsections (b-5) and (b-10) shall report
8 annually to the Illinois Commerce Commission and the
9 General Assembly on how hiring, contracting, job training,
10 and other practices related to its energy efficiency
11 programs enhance the diversity of vendors working on such
12 programs. These reports must include data on vendor and
13 employee diversity, including data on the implementation
14 of paragraphs (9.5) and (9.6). If the utility is not
15 meeting the requirements of paragraphs (9.5) and (9.6),
16 the utility shall submit a plan to adjust their activities
17 so that they meet the requirements of paragraphs (9.5) and
18 (9.6) within the following year.
19 (h) No more than 4% of energy efficiency and
20demand-response program revenue may be allocated for research,
21development, or pilot deployment of new equipment or measures.
22Electric utilities shall work with interested stakeholders to
23formulate a plan for how these funds should be spent,
24incorporate statewide approaches for these allocations, and
25file a 4-year plan that demonstrates that collaboration. If a
26utility files a request for modified annual energy savings

SB1797- 327 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1goals with the Commission, then a utility shall forgo spending
2portfolio dollars on research and development proposals.
3 (i) When practicable, electric utilities shall incorporate
4advanced metering infrastructure data into the planning,
5implementation, and evaluation of energy efficiency measures
6and programs, subject to the data privacy and confidentiality
7protections of applicable law.
8 (j) The independent evaluator shall follow the guidelines
9and use the savings set forth in Commission-approved energy
10efficiency policy manuals and technical reference manuals, as
11each may be updated from time to time. Until such time as
12measure life values for energy efficiency measures implemented
13for low-income households under subsection (c) of this Section
14are incorporated into such Commission-approved manuals, the
15low-income measures shall have the same measure life values
16that are established for same measures implemented in
17households that are not low-income households.
18 (k) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary,
19an electric utility subject to the requirements of this
20Section may file a tariff cancelling an automatic adjustment
21clause tariff in effect under this Section or Section 8-103,
22which shall take effect no later than one business day after
23the date such tariff is filed. Thereafter, the utility shall
24be authorized to defer and recover its expenditures incurred
25under this Section through a new tariff authorized under
26subsection (d) of this Section or in the utility's next rate

SB1797- 328 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1case under Article IX or Section 16-108.5 of this Act, with
2interest at an annual rate equal to the utility's weighted
3average cost of capital as approved by the Commission in such
4case. If the utility elects to file a new tariff under
5subsection (d) of this Section, the utility may file the
6tariff within 10 days after June 1, 2017 (the effective date of
7Public Act 99-906), and the cost inputs to such tariff shall be
8based on the projected costs to be incurred by the utility
9during the calendar year in which the new tariff is filed and
10that were not recovered under the tariff that was cancelled as
11provided for in this subsection. Such costs shall include
12those incurred or to be incurred by the utility under its
13multi-year plan approved under subsections (f) and (g) of this
14Section, including, but not limited to, projected capital
15investment costs and projected regulatory asset balances with
16correspondingly updated depreciation and amortization reserves
17and expense. The Commission shall, after notice and hearing,
18approve, or approve with modification, such tariff and cost
19inputs no later than 75 days after the utility filed the
20tariff, provided that such approval, or approval with
21modification, shall be consistent with the provisions of this
22Section to the extent they do not conflict with this
23subsection (k). The tariff approved by the Commission shall
24take effect no later than 5 days after the Commission enters
25its order approving the tariff.
26 No later than 60 days after the effective date of the

SB1797- 329 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1tariff cancelling the utility's automatic adjustment clause
2tariff, the utility shall file a reconciliation that
3reconciles the moneys collected under its automatic adjustment
4clause tariff with the costs incurred during the period
5beginning June 1, 2016 and ending on the date that the electric
6utility's automatic adjustment clause tariff was cancelled. In
7the event the reconciliation reflects an under-collection, the
8utility shall recover the costs as specified in this
9subsection (k). If the reconciliation reflects an
10over-collection, the utility shall apply the amount of such
11over-collection as a one-time credit to retail customers'
12bills.
13 (l) For the calendar years covered by a multi-year plan
14commencing after December 31, 2017, subsections (a) through
15(j) of this Section do not apply to eligible large private
16energy customers that have chosen to opt out of multi-year
17plans consistent with this subsection (1).
18 (1) For purposes of this subsection (l), "eligible
19 large private energy customer" means any retail customers,
20 except for federal, State, municipal, and other public
21 customers, of an electric utility that serves more than
22 3,000,000 retail customers, except for federal, State,
23 municipal and other public customers, in the State and
24 whose total highest 30 minute demand was more than 10,000
25 kilowatts, or any retail customers of an electric utility
26 that serves less than 3,000,000 retail customers but more

SB1797- 330 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 than 500,000 retail customers in the State and whose total
2 highest 15 minute demand was more than 10,000 kilowatts.
3 For purposes of this subsection (l), "retail customer" has
4 the meaning set forth in Section 16-102 of this Act.
5 However, for a business entity with multiple sites located
6 in the State, where at least one of those sites qualifies
7 as an eligible large private energy customer, then any of
8 that business entity's sites, properly identified on a
9 form for notice, shall be considered eligible large
10 private energy customers for the purposes of this
11 subsection (l). A determination of whether this subsection
12 is applicable to a customer shall be made for each
13 multi-year plan beginning after December 31, 2017. The
14 criteria for determining whether this subsection (l) is
15 applicable to a retail customer shall be based on the 12
16 consecutive billing periods prior to the start of the
17 first year of each such multi-year plan.
18 (2) Within 45 days after September 15, 2021 (the
19 effective date of Public Act 102-662) this amendatory Act
20 of the 102nd General Assembly, the Commission shall
21 prescribe the form for notice required for opting out of
22 energy efficiency programs. The notice must be submitted
23 to the retail electric utility 12 months before the next
24 energy efficiency planning cycle. However, within 120 days
25 after the Commission's initial issuance of the form for
26 notice, eligible large private energy customers may submit

SB1797- 331 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 a form for notice to an electric utility. The form for
2 notice for opting out of energy efficiency programs shall
3 include all of the following:
4 (A) a statement indicating that the customer has
5 elected to opt out;
6 (B) the account numbers for the customer accounts
7 to which the opt out shall apply;
8 (C) the mailing address associated with the
9 customer accounts identified under subparagraph (B);
10 (D) an American Society of Heating, Refrigerating,
11 and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) level 2 or
12 higher audit report conducted by an independent
13 third-party expert identifying cost-effective energy
14 efficiency project opportunities that could be
15 invested in over the next 10 years. A retail customer
16 with specialized processes may utilize a self-audit
17 process in lieu of the ASHRAE audit;
18 (E) a description of the customer's plans to
19 reallocate the funds toward internal energy efficiency
20 efforts identified in the subparagraph (D) report,
21 including, but not limited to: (i) strategic energy
22 management or other programs, including descriptions
23 of targeted buildings, equipment and operations; (ii)
24 eligible energy efficiency measures; and (iii)
25 expected energy savings, itemized by technology. If
26 the subparagraph (D) audit report identifies that the

SB1797- 332 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 customer currently utilizes the best available energy
2 efficient technology, equipment, programs, and
3 operations, the customer may provide a statement that
4 more efficient technology, equipment, programs, and
5 operations are not reasonably available as a means of
6 satisfying this subparagraph (E); and
7 (F) the effective date of the opt out, which will
8 be the next January 1 following notice of the opt out.
9 (3) Upon receipt of a properly and timely noticed
10 request for opt out submitted by an eligible large private
11 energy customer, the retail electric utility shall grant
12 the request, file the request with the Commission and,
13 beginning January 1 of the following year, the opted out
14 customer shall no longer be assessed the costs of the plan
15 and shall be prohibited from participating in that 4-year
16 plan cycle to give the retail utility the certainty to
17 design program plan proposals.
18 (4) Upon a customer's election to opt out under
19 paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection (l) and
20 commencing on the effective date of said opt out, the
21 account properly identified in the customer's notice under
22 paragraph (2) shall not be subject to any cost recovery
23 and shall not be eligible to participate in, or directly
24 benefit from, compliance with energy efficiency cumulative
25 persisting savings requirements under subsections (a)
26 through (j).

SB1797- 333 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (5) A utility's cumulative persisting annual savings
2 targets will exclude any opted out load.
3 (6) The request to opt out is only valid for the
4 requested plan cycle. An eligible large private energy
5 customer must also request to opt out for future energy
6 plan cycles, otherwise the customer will be included in
7 the future energy plan cycle.
8 (m) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section, as
9part of a proceeding to approve a multi-year plan under
10subsections (f) and (g) of this Section if the multi-year plan
11has been designed to maximize savings, but does not meet the
12cost cap limitations of this Section, the Commission shall
13reduce the amount of energy efficiency measures implemented
14for any single year, and whose costs are recovered under
15subsection (d) of this Section, by an amount necessary to
16limit the estimated average net increase due to the cost of the
17measures to no more than
18 (1) 3.5% for each of the 4 years beginning January 1,
19 2018,
20 (2) (blank),
21 (3) 4% for each of the 4 years beginning January 1,
22 2022,
23 (4) 4.25% for the 4 years beginning January 1, 2026,
24 and
25 (5) 4.25% plus an increase sufficient to account for
26 the rate of inflation between January 1, 2026 and January

SB1797- 334 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 1 of the first year of each subsequent 4-year plan cycle,
2of the average amount paid per kilowatthour by residential
3eligible retail customers during calendar year 2015. An
4electric utility may plan to spend up to 10% more in any year
5during an applicable multi-year plan period to
6cost-effectively achieve additional savings so long as the
7average over the applicable multi-year plan period does not
8exceed the percentages defined in items (1) through (5). To
9determine the total amount that may be spent by an electric
10utility in any single year, the applicable percentage of the
11average amount paid per kilowatthour shall be multiplied by
12the total amount of energy delivered by such electric utility
13in the calendar year 2015, adjusted to reflect the proportion
14of the utility's load attributable to customers that have
15opted out of subsections (a) through (j) of this Section under
16subsection (l) of this Section. For purposes of this
17subsection (m), the amount paid per kilowatthour includes,
18without limitation, estimated amounts paid for supply,
19transmission, distribution, surcharges, and add-on taxes. For
20purposes of this Section, "eligible retail customers" shall
21have the meaning set forth in Section 16-111.5 of this Act.
22Once the Commission has approved a plan under subsections (f)
23and (g) of this Section, no subsequent rate impact
24determinations shall be made.
25 (n) A utility shall take advantage of the efficiencies
26available through existing Illinois Home Weatherization

SB1797- 335 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1Assistance Program infrastructure and services, such as
2enrollment, marketing, quality assurance and implementation,
3which can reduce the need for similar services at a lower cost
4than utility-only programs, subject to capacity constraints at
5community action agencies, for both single-family and
6multifamily weatherization services, to the extent Illinois
7Home Weatherization Assistance Program community action
8agencies provide multifamily services. A utility's plan shall
9demonstrate that in formulating annual weatherization budgets,
10it has sought input and coordination with community action
11agencies regarding agencies' capacity to expand and maximize
12Illinois Home Weatherization Assistance Program delivery using
13the ratepayer dollars collected under this Section.

6 Section 185. The Structural Pest Control Act is amended by
7changing Sections 2, 3.03, 3.27, 10.2, 10.3, and 21.1 as
8follows:
9 (225 ILCS 235/2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 2202)
10 (Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2029)
11 Sec. 2. Legislative intent. It is declared that there
12exists and may in the future exist within the State of Illinois
13locations where pesticides are received, stored, formulated or
14prepared and subsequently used for the control of structural
15pests, and improper selection, formulation and application of
16pesticides may adversely affect the public health and general
17welfare.
18 It is further established that the use of certain
19pesticides is restricted or may in the future be restricted to
20use only by or under the supervision of persons certified in
21accordance with this Act.
22 It is recognized that pests can best be controlled through
23an integrated pest management program that combines preventive
24techniques, nonchemical pest control methods, and the

SB1797- 378 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1appropriate use of pesticides with preference for products
2that are the least harmful to human health and the
3environment. Integrated pest management is a good practice in
4the management of pest populations, and it is prudent to
5employ pest control strategies that are the least hazardous to
6human health and the environment.
7 Therefore, the purpose of this Act is to protect, promote
8and preserve the public health and general welfare by
9providing for the establishment of minimum standards for
10selection, formulation and application of restricted
11pesticides and to provide for the licensure of commercial
12structural pest control businesses, the registration of
13persons who own or operate non-commercial structural pest
14control locations where restricted pesticides are used, and
15the certification of pest control technicians.
16 It is also the purpose of this Act to reduce economic,
17health, and environmental risks by promoting the use of
18integrated pest management for structural pest control in
19schools and child day care centers, by making guidelines on
20integrated pest management available to schools and child day
21care centers.

21amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly and every 5 years
22thereafter, written notification to the Department, on forms

7 The job search, training and work programs shall be
8designed to preserve and improve the work habits and skills of
9recipients for whom jobs are not otherwise immediately
10available and to provide training and experience for
11recipients who lack the skills required for such employment
12opportunities as are or may become available. The Illinois
13Department and local governmental unit shall determine by rule
14those classes of recipients who shall be subject to
15participation in such programs. If made subject to
16participation, every applicant for or recipient of public aid
17who is determined to be "able to engage in employment", as
18defined by the Department or local governmental unit pursuant
19to rules and regulations, for whom unsubsidized jobs are not
20otherwise immediately available shall be required to
21participate in any program established under this Section.
22 The Illinois Department shall establish with the Director
23of Central Management Services an outreach and training
24program designed to encourage and assist recipients

4 The Department shall provide payment for transportation,
5child care day-care and Workers' Compensation costs which
6occur for recipients as a result of participating in job
7search, training and work programs as described in this
8Section. The Department may decline to initiate such programs
9in areas where eligible recipients would be so few in number as
10to not economically justify such programs; and in this event
11the Department shall not require persons in such areas to
12participate in any job search, training, or work programs
13whatsoever as a condition of their continued receipt of, or
14application for, aid.
15 The programs may include, but shall not be limited to,
16service in child care centers, in preschool programs as
17teacher aides and in public health programs as home visitors

24 The Illinois Department or local governmental units may
25enter into agreements with local taxing bodies and private
26not-for-profit organizations, agencies and institutions to

SB1797- 424 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1provide for the supervision and administration of job search,
2work and training projects authorized by this Section. Such
3agreements shall stipulate the requirements for utilization of
4recipients in such projects. In addition to any other
5requirements dealing with the administration of these
6programs, the Department shall assure, pursuant to rules and
7regulations, that:
8 (a) Recipients may not displace regular employees.
9 (b) The maximum number of hours of mandatory work is 8
10 hours per day and 40 hours per week, not to exceed 120
11 hours per month.

14 federal minimum wage, rounded to the lowest full hour.
15 "Recipient's benefits" in this subsection includes: (i)
16 both cash assistance and food stamps provided to the
17 entire assistance unit or household by the Illinois
18 Department where the job search, work and training program
19 is administered by the Illinois Department and, where
20 federal programs are involved, includes all such cash
21 assistance and food stamps provided to the greatest extent
22 allowed by federal law; or (ii) includes only cash
23 assistance provided to the entire assistance unit by the
24 local governmental unit where the job search, work and

9recipients in the formulation of their employment policies.
10 Unless directly paid by an employing local taxing body or
11not-for-profit agency, a recipient participating in a work
12project who meets all requirements set forth by the Illinois
13Department shall receive credit towards his or her monthly
14assistance benefits for work performed based upon the
15applicable minimum wage rate. Where a recipient is paid
16directly by an employing agency, the Illinois Department or
17local governmental unit shall provide for payment to such
18employing entity the appropriate amount of assistance benefits
19to which the recipient would otherwise be entitled under this
20Code.
21 The Illinois Department or its designee, including local
22governmental units, may enter into agreements with the
23agencies or institutions providing work under programs
24established hereunder for payment to each such employer

26portion of the wages to be paid to persons for the work

SB1797- 426 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1performed and other appropriate costs.
2 If the number of persons receiving aid under Article VI is
3insufficient to justify the establishment of job search,
4training and work programs on a local basis by a local
5governmental unit, or if for other good cause the
6establishment of a local program is impractical or
7unwarranted, the local governmental unit shall cooperate with
8other local governmental units, with civic and non-profit
9community agencies, and with the Illinois Department in
10developing a program or programs which will jointly serve the
11participating governmental units and agencies.
12 A local governmental unit receiving State funds shall
13refer all recipients able to engage in employment to such job
14search, training and work programs as are established, whether
15within or without the governmental unit, and as are accessible
16to persons receiving aid from the governmental unit. The
17Illinois Department shall withhold allocation of state funds
18to any governmental unit which fails or refuses to make such
19referrals.
20 Participants in job search, training and work programs
21shall be required to maintain current registration for regular
22employment under Section 11-10 and to accept any bona fide
23offer of regular employment. They shall likewise be required
24to accept education, work and training opportunities available
25to them under other provisions of this Code or Federal law. The
26Illinois Department or local governmental unit shall provide

SB1797- 427 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b

2participant to determine the feasibility of his placement in
3regular employment or other work, education and training
4opportunities.
5 Moneys made available for public aid purposes under
6Articles IV and VI may be expended to pay public service
7employers all or a portion of the wages of public service
8employees and other appropriate costs, to provide necessary
9supervisory personnel and equipment, to purchase Workers'
10Compensation Insurance or to pay Workers' Compensation claims,
11and to provide transportation to and from work sites.
12 The Department shall provide through rules and regulations
13for sanctions against applicants and recipients of aid under
14this Code who fail to cooperate with the regulations and
15requirements established pursuant to this Section. Such
16sanctions may include the loss of eligibility to receive aid
17under Article VI of this Code for up to 3 months.
18 The Department, in cooperation with a local governmental
19unit, may maintain a roster of persons who are required to
20participate in a local job search, training and work program.
21In such cases, the roster shall be available for inspection by
22employers for the selection of possible workers.
23 In addition to the programs authorized by this Section,
24the Illinois Department is authorized to administer any job
25search, training or work projects in conjunction with the
26Federal Food Stamp Program, either under this Section or under

16 Sec. 9A-11. Child care.
17 (a) The General Assembly recognizes that families with
18children need child care in order to work. Child care is
19expensive and families with low incomes, including those who
20are transitioning from welfare to work, often struggle to pay
21the costs of child day care. The General Assembly understands
22the importance of helping low-income working families become
23and remain self-sufficient. The General Assembly also believes
24that it is the responsibility of families to share in the costs
25of child care. It is also the preference of the General

SB1797- 434 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1Assembly that all working poor families should be treated
2equally, regardless of their welfare status.
3 (b) To the extent resources permit, the Illinois
4Department shall provide child care services to parents or
5other relatives as defined by rule who are working or
6participating in employment or Department approved education
7or training programs. At a minimum, the Illinois Department
8shall cover the following categories of families:
9 (1) recipients of TANF under Article IV participating
10 in work and training activities as specified in the
11 personal plan for employment and self-sufficiency;
12 (2) families transitioning from TANF to work;
13 (3) families at risk of becoming recipients of TANF;
14 (4) families with special needs as defined by rule;
15 (5) working families with very low incomes as defined
16 by rule;
17 (6) families that are not recipients of TANF and that
18 need child care assistance to participate in education and
19 training activities;
20 (7) youth in care, as defined in Section 4d of the
21 Children and Family Services Act, who are parents,
22 regardless of income or whether they are working or
23 participating in Department-approved employment or
24 education or training programs. Any family that receives
25 child care assistance in accordance with this paragraph
26 shall receive one additional 12-month child care

SB1797- 435 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 eligibility period after the parenting youth in care's
2 case with the Department of Children and Family Services
3 is closed, regardless of income or whether the parenting
4 youth in care is working or participating in
5 Department-approved employment or education or training
6 programs;
7 (8) families receiving Extended Family Support Program
8 services from the Department of Children and Family
9 Services, regardless of income or whether they are working
10 or participating in Department-approved employment or
11 education or training programs; and
12 (9) families with children under the age of 5 who have
13 an open intact family services case with the Department of
14 Children and Family Services. Any family that receives
15 child care assistance in accordance with this paragraph
16 shall remain eligible for child care assistance 6 months
17 after the child's intact family services case is closed,
18 regardless of whether the child's parents or other
19 relatives as defined by rule are working or participating
20 in Department approved employment or education or training
21 programs. The Department of Human Services, in
22 consultation with the Department of Children and Family
23 Services, shall adopt rules to protect the privacy of
24 families who are the subject of an open intact family
25 services case when such families enroll in child care
26 services. Additional rules shall be adopted to offer

SB1797- 436 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 children who have an open intact family services case the
2 opportunity to receive an Early Intervention screening and
3 other services that their families may be eligible for as
4 provided by the Department of Human Services.
5 Beginning October 1, 2023, and every October 1 thereafter,
6the Department of Children and Family Services shall report to
7the General Assembly on the number of children who received
8child care via vouchers paid for by the Department of Children
9and Family Services during the preceding fiscal year. The
10report shall include the ages of children who received child
11care, the type of child care they received, and the number of
12months they received child care.
13 The Department shall specify by rule the conditions of
14eligibility, the application process, and the types, amounts,
15and duration of services. Eligibility for child care benefits
16and the amount of child care provided may vary based on family
17size, income, and other factors as specified by rule.
18 The Department shall update the Child Care Assistance
19Program Eligibility Calculator posted on its website to
20include a question on whether a family is applying for child
21care assistance for the first time or is applying for a
22redetermination of eligibility.
23 A family's eligibility for child care services shall be
24redetermined no sooner than 12 months following the initial
25determination or most recent redetermination. During the
2612-month periods, the family shall remain eligible for child

SB1797- 437 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1care services regardless of (i) a change in family income,
2unless family income exceeds 85% of State median income, or
3(ii) a temporary change in the ongoing status of the parents or
4other relatives, as defined by rule, as working or attending a
5job training or educational program.
6 In determining income eligibility for child care benefits,
7the Department annually, at the beginning of each fiscal year,
8shall establish, by rule, one income threshold for each family
9size, in relation to percentage of State median income for a
10family of that size, that makes families with incomes below
11the specified threshold eligible for assistance and families
12with incomes above the specified threshold ineligible for
13assistance. Through and including fiscal year 2007, the
14specified threshold must be no less than 50% of the
15then-current State median income for each family size.
16Beginning in fiscal year 2008, the specified threshold must be
17no less than 185% of the then-current federal poverty level
18for each family size. Notwithstanding any other provision of
19law or administrative rule to the contrary, beginning in
20fiscal year 2019, the specified threshold for working families
21with very low incomes as defined by rule must be no less than
22185% of the then-current federal poverty level for each family
23size. Notwithstanding any other provision of law or
24administrative rule to the contrary, beginning in State fiscal
25year 2022, the specified income threshold shall be no less
26than 200% of the then-current federal poverty level for each

SB1797- 438 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1family size.
2 In determining eligibility for assistance, the Department
3shall not give preference to any category of recipients or
4give preference to individuals based on their receipt of
5benefits under this Code.
6 Nothing in this Section shall be construed as conferring
7entitlement status to eligible families.
8 The Illinois Department is authorized to lower income
9eligibility ceilings, raise parent co-payments, create waiting
10lists, or take such other actions during a fiscal year as are
11necessary to ensure that child care benefits paid under this
12Article do not exceed the amounts appropriated for those child

17 (g) The privileged quality of communication between any
18professional person required to report and his patient or
19client shall not apply to situations involving abused or
20neglected children and shall not constitute grounds for
21failure to report as required by this Act or constitute
22grounds for failure to share information or documents with the
23Department during the course of a child abuse or neglect
24investigation. If requested by the professional, the
25Department shall confirm in writing that the information or

21 Sec. 8.2. If the Child Protective Service Unit determines,
22following an investigation made pursuant to Section 7.4 of
23this Act, that there is credible evidence that the child is
24abused or neglected, the Department shall assess the family's
25need for services, and, as necessary, develop, with the

SB1797- 458 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1family, an appropriate service plan for the family's voluntary
2acceptance or refusal. In any case where there is evidence
3that the perpetrator of the abuse or neglect has a substance
4use disorder as defined in the Substance Use Disorder Act, the
5Department, when making referrals for drug or alcohol abuse
6services, shall make such referrals to facilities licensed by
7the Department of Human Services or the Department of Public

12Court Act of 1987 or refer the case to the local law
13enforcement authority or State's attorney for criminal
14prosecution.
15 For purposes of this Act, the term "family preservation
16services" refers to all services to help families, including

19placement of children in substitute care when the children can
20be cared for at home or in the custody of the person
21responsible for the children's welfare without endangering the
22children's health or safety, to reunite them with their
23families if so placed when reunification is an appropriate
24goal, or to maintain an adoptive placement. The term
25"homemaker" includes emergency caretakers, homemakers,
26caretakers, housekeepers and chore services. The term

6educational, prevocational or vocational needs. The term
7"emergency assistance and advocacy" includes coordinated
8services to secure emergency cash, food, housing and medical
9assistance or advocacy for other subsistence and family
10protective needs.
11 Before July 1, 2000, appropriate family preservation
12services shall, subject to appropriation, be included in the
13service plan if the Department has determined that those
14services will ensure the child's health and safety, are in the
15child's best interests, and will not place the child in
16imminent risk of harm. Beginning July 1, 2000, appropriate
17family preservation services shall be uniformly available
18throughout the State. The Department shall promptly notify
19children and families of the Department's responsibility to
20offer and provide family preservation services as identified
21in the service plan. Such plans may include but are not limited
22to: case management services; homemakers; counseling; parent
23education; child day care; emergency assistance and advocacy
24assessments; respite care; in-home health care; transportation
25to obtain any of the above services; and medical assistance.

SB1797- 460 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1private right of action or claim on the part of any individual
2or child welfare agency, except that when a child is the
3subject of an action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
4of 1987 and the child's service plan calls for services to
5facilitate achievement of the permanency goal, the court
6hearing the action under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act
7of 1987 may order the Department to provide the services set
8out in the plan, if those services are not provided with
9reasonable promptness and if those services are available.

11basis directories of services available to children and
12families in the local area where the Department office is
13located.
14 The Department shall refer children and families served
15pursuant to this Section to private agencies and governmental
16agencies, where available.
17 Incentives that discourage or reward a decision to provide
18family preservation services after a report is indicated or a
19decision to refer a child for the filing of a petition under
20Article II of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987 are strictly
21prohibited and shall not be included in any contract, quality
22assurance, or performance review process. Incentives include,
23but are not limited to, monetary benefits, contingencies, and
24enhanced or diminished performance reviews for individuals or
25agencies.

2child for the filing of a petition under Article II of the
3Juvenile Court Act of 1987 shall be based solely on the child's
4health, safety, and best interests and on any applicable law.
5If a difference of opinion exists between a private agency and
6the Department regarding whether to refer for the filing of a
7petition under Article II of the Juvenile Court Act of 1987,
8the case shall be referred to the Deputy Director of Child
9Protection for review and determination.
10 Any Department employee responsible for reviewing
11contracts or program plans who is aware of a violation of this
12Section shall immediately refer the matter to the Inspector
13General of the Department.
14 Where there are 2 equal proposals from both a
15not-for-profit and a for-profit agency to provide services,
16the Department shall give preference to the proposal from the
17not-for-profit agency.
18 No service plan shall compel any child or parent to engage
19in any activity or refrain from any activity which is not
20reasonably related to remedying a condition or conditions that
21gave rise or which could give rise to any finding of child
22abuse or neglect.

4 offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
5 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause for
6 the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
7 restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
8 a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
9 permit, require the applicant to participate in a
10 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The
11 Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a restricted
12 driving permit if the permit holder does not successfully

16 the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons
17 subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b)

14 ignition interlock device does not apply to the operation
15 of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by that

17 purposes. For any person who, within a 5-year period, is
18 convicted of a second or subsequent offense under Section
19 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local

14 restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
15 a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
16 permit, require the applicant to participate in a
17 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. The
18 Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a restricted

23 application for a restricted driving permit at a hearing
24 conducted under Section 2-118 of this Code after the
25 expiration of 5 years from the effective date of the most

22 but not limited to, testimony, affidavits, records, and
23 the results of regular alcohol or drug tests. Persons
24 subject to the provisions of paragraph 4 of subsection (b)

23 Section 285. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is
24amended by changing Sections 112A-14.5, 112A-14.7, and 112A-22
25as follows:

SB1797- 643 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 (725 ILCS 5/112A-14.5)
2 Sec. 112A-14.5. Civil no contact order; remedies.
3 (a) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
4Section. The remedies listed in this Section shall be in
5addition to other civil or criminal remedies available to
6petitioner:
7 (1) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
8 within, or knowingly remaining within, a specified
9 distance from the petitioner;
10 (2) restrain the respondent from having any contact,
11 including nonphysical contact, with the petitioner
12 directly, indirectly, or through third parties, regardless
13 of whether those third parties know of the order;
14 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
15 within, or knowingly remaining within, a specified
16 distance from the petitioner's residence, school, child
17 day care or other specified location;
18 (4) order the respondent to stay away from any
19 property or animal owned, possessed, leased, kept, or held
20 by the petitioner and forbid the respondent from taking,
21 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
22 otherwise disposing of the property or animal; and
23 (5) order any other injunctive relief as necessary or
24 appropriate for the protection of the petitioner.
25 (b) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the same

SB1797- 644 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1public or private elementary, middle, or high school, the
2court when issuing a civil no contact order and providing
3relief shall consider the severity of the act, any continuing
4physical danger or emotional distress to the petitioner, the
5educational rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent
6under federal and State law, the availability of a transfer of
7the respondent to another school, a change of placement or a
8change of program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
9and educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer
10of the respondent to another school, and any other relevant
11facts of the case. The court may order that the respondent not
12attend the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle,
13or high school attended by the petitioner, order that the
14respondent accept a change of placement or program, as
15determined by the school district or private or non-public
16school, or place restrictions on the respondent's movements
17within the school attended by the petitioner. The respondent
18bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence
19that a transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
20the respondent is not available. The respondent also bears the
21burden of production with respect to the expense, difficulty,
22and educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer
23of the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
24placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
25respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
26agree with the school district's or private or non-public

SB1797- 645 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
2or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
3consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
4effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
5program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
6public, private, or non-public school attended by the
7petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another
8attendance center within the respondent's school district or
9private or non-public school, the school district or private
10or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
11the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
12If the court order results in a transfer of the minor
13respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
14respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
15program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
16respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
17associated with the transfer or change.
18 (c) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
19custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
20refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
21respondent complies with the order. If the court orders a
22transfer of the respondent to another school, the parents or
23legal guardians of the respondent are responsible for
24transportation and other costs associated with the change of
25school by the respondent.
26 (d) Denial of a remedy may not be based, in whole or in

SB1797- 646 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1part, on evidence that:
2 (1) the respondent has cause for any use of force,
3 unless that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable
4 use of force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of
5 2012;
6 (2) the respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
7 (3) the petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
8 another, provided that, if the petitioner utilized force,
9 such force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal
10 Code of 2012;
11 (4) the petitioner did not act in self-defense or
12 defense of another;
13 (5) the petitioner left the residence or household to
14 avoid further non-consensual sexual conduct or
15 non-consensual sexual penetration by the respondent; or
16 (6) the petitioner did not leave the residence or
17 household to avoid further non-consensual sexual conduct
18 or non-consensual sexual penetration by the respondent.
19 (e) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.

22 Sec. 112A-14.7. Stalking no contact order; remedies.
23 (a) The court may order any of the remedies listed in this
24Section. The remedies listed in this Section shall be in
25addition to other civil or criminal remedies available to

SB1797- 647 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1petitioner. A stalking no contact order shall order one or
2more of the following:
3 (1) prohibit the respondent from threatening to commit
4 or committing stalking;
5 (2) order the respondent not to have any contact with
6 the petitioner or a third person specifically named by the
7 court;
8 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
9 within, or knowingly remaining within a specified distance
10 of the petitioner or the petitioner's residence, school,
11 child care daycare, or place of employment, or any
12 specified place frequented by the petitioner; however, the
13 court may order the respondent to stay away from the
14 respondent's own residence, school, or place of employment
15 only if the respondent has been provided actual notice of
16 the opportunity to appear and be heard on the petition;
17 (4) prohibit the respondent from possessing a Firearm
18 Owners Identification Card, or possessing or buying
19 firearms; and
20 (5) order other injunctive relief the court determines

23 (b) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the same
24public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
25school, the court when issuing a stalking no contact order and
26providing relief shall consider the severity of the act, any

SB1797- 648 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1continuing physical danger or emotional distress to the
2petitioner, the educational rights guaranteed to the
3petitioner and respondent under federal and State law, the
4availability of a transfer of the respondent to another
5school, a change of placement or a change of program of the
6respondent, the expense, difficulty, and educational
7disruption that would be caused by a transfer of the
8respondent to another school, and any other relevant facts of
9the case. The court may order that the respondent not attend
10the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle, or high
11school attended by the petitioner, order that the respondent
12accept a change of placement or program, as determined by the
13school district or private or non-public school, or place
14restrictions on the respondent's movements within the school
15attended by the petitioner. The respondent bears the burden of
16proving by a preponderance of the evidence that a transfer,
17change of placement, or change of program of the respondent is
18not available. The respondent also bears the burden of
19production with respect to the expense, difficulty, and
20educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer of
21the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
22placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
23respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
24agree with the school district's or private or non-public
25school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
26or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to

SB1797- 649 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
2effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
3program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
4public, private, or non-public school attended by the
5petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another
6attendance center within the respondent's school district or
7private or non-public school, the school district or private
8or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
9the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
10If the court order results in a transfer of the minor
11respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
12respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
13program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
14respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
15associated with the transfer or change.
16 (c) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
17custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
18refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
19respondent complies with the order. If the court orders a
20transfer of the respondent to another school, the parents,
21guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are responsible
22for transportation and other costs associated with the change
23of school by the respondent.
24 (d) The court shall not hold a school district or private
25or non-public school or any of its employees in civil or
26criminal contempt unless the school district or private or

SB1797- 650 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
2 (e) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
3custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
4for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
5this Article for conduct of the minor respondent in violation
6of this Article if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
7directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in the
8conduct.
9 (f) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.
10 (g) If the stalking no contact order prohibits the
11respondent from possessing a Firearm Owner's Identification

10is amended by changing Section 40 as follows:
11 (725 ILCS 207/40)
12 Sec. 40. Commitment.
13 (a) If a court or jury determines that the person who is
14the subject of a petition under Section 15 of this Act is a
15sexually violent person, the court shall order the person to
16be committed to the custody of the Department for control,
17care and treatment until such time as the person is no longer a
18sexually violent person.
19 (b)(1) The court shall enter an initial commitment order
20under this Section pursuant to a hearing held as soon as
21practicable after the judgment is entered that the person who
22is the subject of a petition under Section 15 is a sexually
23violent person. If the court lacks sufficient information to
24make the determination required by paragraph (b)(2) of this

SB1797- 656 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1Section immediately after trial, it may adjourn the hearing
2and order the Department to conduct a predisposition
3investigation or a supplementary mental examination, or both,
4to assist the court in framing the commitment order. If the
5Department's examining evaluator previously rendered an
6opinion that the person who is the subject of a petition under
7Section 15 does not meet the criteria to be found a sexually
8violent person, then another evaluator shall conduct the
9predisposition investigation and/or supplementary mental
10examination. A supplementary mental examination under this
11Section shall be conducted in accordance with Section 3-804 of
12the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. The
13State has the right to have the person evaluated by experts
14chosen by the State.
15 (2) An order for commitment under this Section shall
16specify either institutional care in a secure facility, as
17provided under Section 50 of this Act, or conditional release.
18In determining whether commitment shall be for institutional
19care in a secure facility or for conditional release, the
20court shall consider the nature and circumstances of the
21behavior that was the basis of the allegation in the petition
22under paragraph (b)(1) of Section 15, the person's mental
23history and present mental condition, and what arrangements
24are available to ensure that the person has access to and will
25participate in necessary treatment. All treatment, whether in
26institutional care, in a secure facility, or while on

SB1797- 657 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1conditional release, shall be conducted in conformance with
2the standards developed under the Sex Offender Management
3Board Act and conducted by a treatment provider licensed under
4the Sex Offender Evaluation and Treatment Provider Act. The
5Department shall arrange for control, care and treatment of
6the person in the least restrictive manner consistent with the
7requirements of the person and in accordance with the court's
8commitment order.
9 (3) If the court finds that the person is appropriate for
10conditional release, the court shall notify the Department.
11The Department shall prepare a plan that identifies the
12treatment and services, if any, that the person will receive
13in the community. The plan shall address the person's need, if
14any, for supervision, counseling, medication, community
15support services, residential services, vocational services,
16and alcohol or other drug abuse treatment. The Department may
17contract with a county health department, with another public
18agency or with a private agency to provide the treatment and
19services identified in the plan. The plan shall specify who
20will be responsible for providing the treatment and services
21identified in the plan. The plan shall be presented to the
22court for its approval within 60 days after the court finding
23that the person is appropriate for conditional release, unless
24the Department and the person to be released request
25additional time to develop the plan. The conditional release
26program operated under this Section is not subject to the

SB1797- 658 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1provisions of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities
2Confidentiality Act.
3 (4) An order for conditional release places the person in
4the custody and control of the Department. A person on
5conditional release is subject to the conditions set by the
6court and to the rules of the Department. Before a person is
7placed on conditional release by the court under this Section,
8the court shall so notify the municipal police department and
9county sheriff for the municipality and county in which the
10person will be residing. The notification requirement under
11this Section does not apply if a municipal police department
12or county sheriff submits to the court a written statement
13waiving the right to be notified. Notwithstanding any other
14provision in the Act, the person being supervised on

16address as another sex offender being supervised on
17conditional release under this Act, mandatory supervised
18release, parole, aftercare release, probation, or any other
19manner of supervision. If the Department alleges that a
20released person has violated any condition or rule, or that
21the safety of others requires that conditional release be
22revoked, he or she may be taken into custody under the rules of
23the Department.
24 At any time during which the person is on conditional
25release, if the Department determines that the person has
26violated any condition or rule, or that the safety of others

SB1797- 659 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1requires that conditional release be revoked, the Department
2may request the Attorney General or State's Attorney to
3request the court to issue an emergency ex parte order
4directing any law enforcement officer to take the person into
5custody and transport the person to the county jail. The
6Department may request, or the Attorney General or State's
7Attorney may request independently of the Department, that a
8petition to revoke conditional release be filed. When a
9petition is filed, the court may order the Department to issue
10a notice to the person to be present at the Department or other
11agency designated by the court, order a summons to the person
12to be present, or order a body attachment for all law
13enforcement officers to take the person into custody and
14transport him or her to the county jail, hospital, or
15treatment facility. The Department shall submit a statement
16showing probable cause of the detention and a petition to
17revoke the order for conditional release to the committing
18court within 48 hours after the detention. The court shall
19hear the petition within 30 days, unless the hearing or time
20deadline is waived by the detained person. Pending the
21revocation hearing, the Department may detain the person in a
22jail, in a hospital or treatment facility. The State has the
23burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that any
24rule or condition of release has been violated, or that the
25safety of others requires that the conditional release be
26revoked. If the court determines after hearing that any rule

SB1797- 660 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1or condition of release has been violated, or that the safety
2of others requires that conditional release be revoked, it may
3revoke the order for conditional release and order that the
4released person be placed in an appropriate institution until
5the person is discharged from the commitment under Section 65
6of this Act or until again placed on conditional release under
7Section 60 of this Act.
8 (5) An order for conditional release places the person in

10the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
11placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
12respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
13agree with the school district's or private or non-public
14school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
15or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
16consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
17effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
18program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
19public, private, or non-public school attended by the
20petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another
21attendance center within the respondent's school district or
22private or non-public school, the school district or private
23or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
24the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
25In the event the court order results in a transfer of the minor
26respondent to another attendance center, a change in the

SB1797- 731 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
2program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
3respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
4associated with the transfer or change.
5 (b-6) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
6custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
7refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
8respondent complies with the order. In the event the court
9orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
10parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the respondent are
11responsible for transportation and other costs associated with
12the change of school by the respondent.
13 (b-7) The court shall not hold a school district or
14private or non-public school or any of its employees in civil
15or criminal contempt unless the school district or private or
16non-public school has been allowed to intervene.
17 (b-8) The court may hold the parents, guardian, or legal
18custodian of a minor respondent in civil or criminal contempt
19for a violation of any provision of any order entered under
20this Act for conduct of the minor respondent in violation of
21this Act if the parents, guardian, or legal custodian
22directed, encouraged, or assisted the respondent minor in such
23conduct.
24 (c) The court may award the petitioner costs and attorneys
25fees if a stalking no contact order is granted.

16server, or other persons defined in Section 117 may serve the
17respondent with a short form notification as provided in

23order is issued is arrested and the written order is issued in
24accordance with subsection (c) of Section 95 and received by
25the custodial law enforcement agency before the respondent or
26arrestee is released from custody, the custodial law

SB1797- 734 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1enforcement agent shall promptly serve the order upon the
2respondent or arrestee before the respondent or arrestee is

17 Section 305. The Civil No Contact Order Act is amended by
18changing Section 213 as follows:
19 (740 ILCS 22/213)
20 Sec. 213. Civil no contact order; remedies.
21 (a) If the court finds that the petitioner has been a
22victim of non-consensual sexual conduct or non-consensual
23sexual penetration, a civil no contact order shall issue;
24provided that the petitioner must also satisfy the

SB1797- 735 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1requirements of Section 214 on emergency orders or Section 215
2on plenary orders. The petitioner shall not be denied a civil
3no contact order because the petitioner or the respondent is a
4minor. The court, when determining whether or not to issue a
5civil no contact order, may not require physical injury on the
6person of the victim. Modification and extension of prior
7civil no contact orders shall be in accordance with this Act.
8 (a-5) (Blank).
9 (b) (Blank).
10 (b-5) The court may provide relief as follows:
11 (1) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
12 within, or knowingly remaining within, a specified
13 distance from the petitioner;
14 (2) restrain the respondent from having any contact,
15 including nonphysical contact and electronic communication
16 as defined in Section 26.5-0.1 of the Criminal Code of
17 2012, with the petitioner directly, indirectly, or through
18 third parties, regardless of whether those third parties
19 know of the order;
20 (3) prohibit the respondent from knowingly coming
21 within, or knowingly remaining within, a specified
22 distance from the petitioner's residence, school, child
23 day care or other specified location;
24 (4) order the respondent to stay away from any
25 property or animal owned, possessed, leased, kept, or held

SB1797- 736 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1 transferring, encumbering, concealing, harming, or
2 otherwise disposing of the property or animal; and
3 (5) order any other injunctive relief as necessary or
4 appropriate for the protection of the petitioner.
5 (b-6) When the petitioner and the respondent attend the
6same public or private elementary, middle, or high school, the
7court when issuing a civil no contact order and providing
8relief shall consider the severity of the act, any continuing
9physical danger or emotional distress to the petitioner, the
10educational rights guaranteed to the petitioner and respondent
11under federal and State law, the availability of a transfer of
12the respondent to another school, a change of placement or a
13change of program of the respondent, the expense, difficulty,
14and educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer
15of the respondent to another school, and any other relevant
16facts of the case. The court may order that the respondent not
17attend the public, private, or non-public elementary, middle,
18or high school attended by the petitioner, order that the
19respondent accept a change of placement or program, as
20determined by the school district or private or non-public
21school, or place restrictions on the respondent's movements
22within the school attended by the petitioner. The respondent
23bears the burden of proving by a preponderance of the evidence
24that a transfer, change of placement, or change of program of
25the respondent is not available. The respondent also bears the
26burden of production with respect to the expense, difficulty,

SB1797- 737 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1and educational disruption that would be caused by a transfer
2of the respondent to another school. A transfer, change of
3placement, or change of program is not unavailable to the
4respondent solely on the ground that the respondent does not
5agree with the school district's or private or non-public
6school's transfer, change of placement, or change of program
7or solely on the ground that the respondent fails or refuses to
8consent to or otherwise does not take an action required to
9effectuate a transfer, change of placement, or change of
10program. When a court orders a respondent to stay away from the
11public, private, or non-public school attended by the
12petitioner and the respondent requests a transfer to another
13attendance center within the respondent's school district or
14private or non-public school, the school district or private
15or non-public school shall have sole discretion to determine
16the attendance center to which the respondent is transferred.
17In the event the court order results in a transfer of the minor
18respondent to another attendance center, a change in the
19respondent's placement, or a change of the respondent's
20program, the parents, guardian, or legal custodian of the
21respondent is responsible for transportation and other costs
22associated with the transfer or change.
23 (b-7) The court may order the parents, guardian, or legal
24custodian of a minor respondent to take certain actions or to
25refrain from taking certain actions to ensure that the
26respondent complies with the order. In the event the court

SB1797- 738 -LRB103 03433 AMQ 48439 b
1orders a transfer of the respondent to another school, the
2parents or legal guardians of the respondent are responsible
3for transportation and other costs associated with the change
4of school by the respondent.
5 (c) Denial of a remedy may not be based, in whole or in
6part, on evidence that:
7 (1) the respondent has cause for any use of force,
8 unless that cause satisfies the standards for justifiable
9 use of force provided by Article 7 of the Criminal Code of
10 2012;
11 (2) the respondent was voluntarily intoxicated;
12 (3) the petitioner acted in self-defense or defense of
13 another, provided that, if the petitioner utilized force,
14 such force was justifiable under Article 7 of the Criminal
15 Code of 2012;
16 (4) the petitioner did not act in self-defense or
17 defense of another;
18 (5) the petitioner left the residence or household to
19 avoid further non-consensual sexual conduct or
20 non-consensual sexual penetration by the respondent; or
21 (6) the petitioner did not leave the residence or
22 household to avoid further non-consensual sexual conduct
23 or non-consensual sexual penetration by the respondent.
24 (d) Monetary damages are not recoverable as a remedy.

5address would risk abuse of petitioner or any member of

7address of a shelter for domestic violence victims, that
8address may be omitted from all documents filed with the
9court. If disclosure is necessary to determine jurisdiction or
10consider any venue issue, it shall be made orally and in
11camera. If petitioner has not disclosed an address under this
12subsection, petitioner shall designate an alternative address
13at which respondent may serve notice of any motions.
14 (c) If the petitioner is seeking to have a child protected
15by the order of protection, and if that child is enrolled in

24information may be omitted from all documents filed with the
25court.
