14671467 5 deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the
14681468 6 first year in which they file employment records with the
14691469 7 Illinois Department of Employment Security. The provisions

14711471 9 by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of
14721472 10 existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,
14731473 11 the increase in base employment within Illinois over the
14741474 12 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit
14751475 13 shall be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
14761476 14 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
14771477 15 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
14781478 16 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
14791479 17 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
14801480 18 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
14811481 19 other than the year in which the property was placed in

14841484 22 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
14851485 23 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
14861486 24 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
14871487 25 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later

15131513 15 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
15141514 16 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
15151515 17 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
15161516 18 or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
15171517 19 carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
15181518 20 taxable years following the excess credit years. The
15191519 21 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
15201520 22 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
15211521 23 tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
15221522 24 credit shall be applied first.

16211621 15 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting

17171717 3 the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
17181718 4 original liability or the liability as later amended, such
17191719 5 excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
17201720 6 liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
17211721 7 credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest

17521752 2 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
17531753 3 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
17541754 4 income tax purposes.
17551755 5 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
17561756 6 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
17571757 7 placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge

17611761 11 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
17621762 12 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
17631763 13 (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to

17681768 18 after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
17691769 19 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
17701770 20 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
17711771 21 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
17721772 22 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
17731773 23 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
17741774 24 property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such

17911791 5 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
17921792 6 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
17931793 7 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
17941794 8 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
17951795 9 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
17961796 10 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
17971797 11 over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
17981798 12 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
17991799 13 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
18001800 14 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
18011801 15 employment for the first year in which they file
18021802 16 employment records with the Illinois Department of
18031803 17 Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
18041804 18 employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
18051805 19 than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
18061806 20 percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is

18081808 22 exceed 0.5%.

25872587 9 not to exceed the partner's or shareholder's share of the
25882588 10 tax imposed under paragraph (1) which is actually paid by

26262626 12 taxable year.

26342634 20 assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner
26352635 21 or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment
26362636 22 based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share
26372637 23 of the net income of the partnership over the total net
26382638 24 income of the partnership. If the partnership or

26572657 7 which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
26582658 8 similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
26592659 9 considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
26602660 10 extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the
26612661 11 income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation

26952695 9 Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this
26962696 10 Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
26972697 11 either the selling price or the fair market value, if any, of
26982698 12 the tangible personal property. In all cases where property
26992699 13 functionally used or consumed is the same as the property that
27002700 14 was purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the selling
27012701 15 price of the property. In all cases where property
27022702 16 functionally used or consumed is a by-product or waste product
27032703 17 that has been refined, manufactured, or produced from property
27042704 18 purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the lower of

27062706 20 in this State or on the selling price of the property purchased
27072707 21 at retail. For purposes of this Section "fair market value"

78507850 15 cannabis business establishment fails to promptly request a
78517851 16 temporary certificate of authority after the separation of the
78527852 17 agent-in-charge, its registration shall cease until the
78537853 18 Commission approves the temporary certificate of authority or
78547854 19 registers a new agent-in-charge.

80188018 3 Sec. 7-1. Findings.
80198019 4 (a) The General Assembly finds that the medical cannabis
80208020 5 industry, established in 2014 through the Compassionate Use of
80218021 6 Medical Cannabis Program Act and incorporated into Article 75
80228022 7 of this Act, has shown that additional efforts are needed to
80238023 8 reduce barriers to ownership. Through that program, 55
80248024 9 licenses for dispensing organizations and 20 licenses for
80258025 10 cultivation centers have been issued. Those licenses are held
80268026 11 by only a small number of businesses, the ownership of which
80278027 12 does not sufficiently meet the General Assembly's interest in
80288028 13 business ownership that reflects the population of the State
80298029 14 of Illinois and that demonstrates the need to reduce barriers
80308030 15 to entry for individuals and communities most adversely
80318031 16 impacted by the enforcement of cannabis-related laws.
80328032 17 (b) In the interest of establishing a legal cannabis
80338033 18 industry that is equitable and accessible to those most
80348034 19 adversely impacted by the enforcement of drug-related laws in
80358035 20 this State, including cannabis-related laws, the General
80368036 21 Assembly finds and declares that a social equity program
80378037 22 should be established.
80388038 23 (c) The General Assembly also finds and declares that
80398039 24 individuals who have been arrested or incarcerated due to drug
80408040 25 laws suffer long-lasting negative consequences, including
80418041

80528052 2 and long-term financial well-being.
80538053 3 (d) The General Assembly also finds and declares that
80548054 4 family members, especially children, and communities of those
80558055 5 who have been arrested or incarcerated due to drug laws,
80568056 6 suffer from emotional, psychological, and financial harms as a
80578057 7 result of such arrests or incarcerations.
80588058 8 (e) Furthermore, the General Assembly finds and declares
80598059 9 that certain communities have disproportionately suffered the
80608060 10 harms of enforcement of cannabis-related laws. Those
80618061 11 communities face greater difficulties accessing traditional
80628062 12 banking systems and capital for establishing businesses.
80638063 13 (f) The General Assembly also finds that individuals who
80648064 14 have resided in areas of high poverty suffer negative
80658065 15 consequences, including barriers to entry in employment,
80668066 16 business ownership, housing, health, and long-term financial
80678067 17 well-being.
80688068 18 (g) The General Assembly also finds and declares that
80698069 19 promotion of business ownership by individuals who have
80708070 20 resided in areas of high poverty and high enforcement of
80718071 21 cannabis-related laws furthers an equitable cannabis industry.
80728072 22 (h) Therefore, in the interest of remedying the harms
80738073 23 resulting from the disproportionate enforcement of
80748074 24 cannabis-related laws, the General Assembly finds and declares
80758075 25 that a social equity program should offer, among other things,
80768076 26 financial assistance and license application benefits to

85678567 21 parent's child or the guardian's ward, if the invitee is under
85688568 22 the age of 21, in a manner that constitutes a violation of this
85698569 23 Section. A parent or guardian is deemed to have knowingly
85708570 24 permitted his or her residence, any other private property

1280212802 16 Agriculture may by rule modify or raise the number of craft
1280312803 17 grower licenses and modify or change the licensing application
1280412804 18 process. At no time may the number of craft grower licenses

1592715927 8 amount of the quarter-monthly payment actually and timely
1592815928 9 paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made

1593315933 14 original monthly return, the Department shall, if requested by
1593415934 15 the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum no
1593515935 16 later than 30 days after the date of payment. The credit
1593615936 17 evidenced by the credit memorandum may be assigned by the
1593715937 18 taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, in accordance
1593815938 19 with reasonable rules to be prescribed by the Department. If

1609816098 2 from the purchaser by the cannabis retailer at the rate stated
1609916099 3 in Section 65-10 with respect to cannabis sold by the cannabis
1610016100 4 retailer to the purchaser, and shall be remitted to the
1610116101 5 Department as provided in Section 65-30. All sales to a
1610216102 6 purchaser who is not a cardholder under the Compassionate Use
1610316103 7 of Medical Cannabis Program Act are presumed subject to tax
1610416104 8 collection. Cannabis retailers shall collect the tax from
1610516105 9 purchasers by adding the tax to the amount of the purchase
1610616106 10 price received from the purchaser for selling cannabis to the
1610716107 11 purchaser. The tax imposed by this Article shall, when
1610816108 12 collected, be stated as a distinct item separate and apart
1610916109 13 from the purchase price of the cannabis.
1611016110 14 (b) If a cannabis retailer collects Cannabis Purchaser
1611116111 15 Excise Tax measured by a purchase price that is not subject to
1611216112 16 Cannabis Purchaser Excise Tax, or if a cannabis retailer, in
1611316113 17 collecting Cannabis Purchaser Excise Tax measured by a
1611416114 18 purchase price that is subject to tax under this Act, collects
1611516115 19 more from the purchaser than the required amount of the
1611616116 20 Cannabis Purchaser Excise Tax on the transaction, the
1611716117 21 purchaser shall have a legal right to claim a refund of that
1611816118 22 amount from the cannabis retailer. If, however, that amount is
1611916119 23 not refunded to the purchaser for any reason, the cannabis
1612016120 24 retailer is liable to pay that amount to the Department.
1612116121 25 (c) Any person purchasing cannabis subject to tax under

1614116141 9 Sec. 75-5. Findings.
1614216142 10 (a) The recorded use of cannabis as a medicine goes back
1614316143 11 nearly 5,000 years. Modern medical research has confirmed the
1614416144 12 beneficial uses of cannabis in treating or alleviating the
1614516145 13 pain, nausea, and other symptoms associated with a variety of
1614616146 14 debilitating medical conditions, including cancer, multiple
1614716147 15 sclerosis, and HIV/AIDS, as found by the National Academy of
1614816148 16 Sciences' Institute of Medicine in March 1999.
1614916149 17 (b) Studies published since the 1999 Institute of Medicine
1615016150 18 report continue to show the therapeutic value of cannabis in
1615116151 19 treating a wide array of debilitating medical conditions.
1615216152 20 These include relief of the neuropathic pain caused by
1615316153 21 multiple sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, and other illnesses that often
1615416154 22 fail to respond to conventional treatments and relief of
1615516155 23 nausea, vomiting, and other side effects of drugs used to
1615616156 24 treat HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C, increasing the chances of

1616716167 1 patients continuing on life-saving treatment regimens.
1616816168 2 (c) Cannabis has many currently accepted medical uses in
1616916169 3 the United States, having been recommended by thousands of
1617016170 4 licensed physicians to at least 600,000 patients in states
1617116171 5 with medical cannabis laws. The medical utility of cannabis is
1617216172 6 recognized by a wide range of medical and public health
1617316173 7 organizations, including the American Academy of HIV Medicine,
1617416174 8 the American College of Physicians, the American Nurses
1617516175 9 Association, the American Public Health Association, the
1617616176 10 Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and many others.
1617716177 11 (d) Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's
1617816178 12 Uniform Crime Reports and the Compendium of Federal Justice
1617916179 13 Statistics show that approximately 99 out of every 100
1618016180 14 cannabis arrests in the U.S. are made under state law, rather
1618116181 15 than under federal law. Consequently, changing State law will
1618216182 16 have the practical effect of protecting from arrest the vast
1618316183 17 majority of seriously ill patients who have a medical need to
1618416184 18 use cannabis.
1618516185 19 (d-5) In 2014, the Task Force on Veterans' Suicide was
1618616186 20 created by the Illinois General Assembly to gather data on
1618716187 21 veterans' suicide prevention. Data from a U.S. Department of
1618816188 22 Veterans Affairs study indicates that 22 veterans commit
1618916189 23 suicide each day.
1619016190 24 (d-10) According to the State of Illinois Opioid Action
1619116191 25 Plan released in September 2017, "The opioid epidemic is the
1619216192 26 most significant public health and public safety crisis facing

1620216202 HB1436 - 454 - LRB103 04785 CPF 49795 b
1620316203 1 Illinois". According to the Action Plan, "Fueled by the
1620416204 2 growing opioid epidemic, drug overdoses have now become the
1620516205 3 leading cause of death nationwide for people under the age of
1620616206 4 50. In Illinois, opioid overdoses have killed nearly 11,000
1620716207 5 people since 2008. Just last year, nearly 1,900 people died of
1620816208 6 overdosesalmost twice the number of fatal car accidents.
1620916209 7 Beyond these deaths are thousands of emergency department
1621016210 8 visits, hospital stays, as well as the pain suffered by
1621116211 9 individuals, families, and communities".
1621216212 10 According to the Action Plan, "At the current rate, the
1621316213 11 opioid epidemic will claim the lives of more than 2,700
1621416214 12 Illinoisans in 2020".
1621516215 13 Further, the Action Plan states, "Physical tolerance to
1621616216 14 opioids can begin to develop as early as two to three days
1621716217 15 following the continuous use of opioids, which is a large
1621816218 16 factor that contributes to their addictive potential".
1621916219 17 The 2017 State of Illinois Opioid Action Plan also states,
1622016220 18 "The increase in OUD [opioid use disorder] and opioid overdose
1622116221 19 deaths is largely due to the dramatic rise in the rate and
1622216222 20 amount of opioids prescribed for pain over the past decades".
1622316223 21 Further, according to the Action Plan, "In the absence of
1622416224 22 alternative treatments, reducing the supply of prescription
1622516225 23 opioids too abruptly may drive more people to switch to using
1622616226 24 illicit drugs (including heroin), thus increasing the risk of
1622716227 25 overdose".

1624316243 5 cannabis. Illinois joins in this effort for the health and
1624416244 6 welfare of its citizens.
1624516245 7 (f) States are not required to enforce federal law or
1624616246 8 prosecute people for engaging in activities prohibited by
1624716247 9 federal law. Therefore, compliance with this Act does not put
1624816248 10 the State of Illinois in violation of federal law.
1624916249 11 (g) State law should make a distinction between the
1625016250 12 medical and non-medical uses of cannabis. Hence, the purpose
1625116251 13 of this Article is to protect patients with debilitating
1625216252 14 medical conditions, as well as their physicians and providers,
1625316253 15 from arrest and prosecution, criminal and other penalties, and
1625416254 16 property forfeiture if the patients engage in the medical use
1625516255 17 of cannabis.
