396396 2 deemed to have met the 1% growth in base employment for the
397397 3 first year in which they file employment records with the

400400 6 by Public Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of
401401 7 existing law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year,
402402 8 the increase in base employment within Illinois over the
403403 9 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit
404404 10 shall be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
405405 11 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
406406 12 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
407407 13 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
408408 14 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
409409 15 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
410410 16 other than the year in which the property was placed in
411411 17 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
412412 18 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
413413 19 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
414414 20 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
415415 21 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
416416 22 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
417417 23 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
418418 24 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the

442442 12 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
443443 13 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
444444 14 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability
445445 15 or the liability as later amended, such excess may be
446446 16 carried forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5
447447 17 taxable years following the excess credit years. The
448448 18 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
449449 19 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
450450 20 tax year that is available to offset a liability, earlier
451451 21 credit shall be applied first.

686686 4 placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
687687 5 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
688688 6 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
689689 7 date of such increase in basis.
690690 8 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
691691 9 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.

693693 11 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within

695695 13 any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise
696696 14 Zone or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months
697697 15 after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
698698 16 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
699699 17 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
700700 18 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
701701 19 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
702702 20 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
703703 21 property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
704704 22 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
705705 23 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
706706 24 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting

723723 5 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
724724 6 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
725725 7 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
726726 8 over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
727727 9 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of

730730 12 employment for the first year in which they file
731731 13 employment records with the Illinois Department of
732732 14 Employment Security. If, in any year, the increase in base
733733 15 employment within Illinois over the preceding year is less
734734 16 than 1%, the additional credit shall be limited to that
735735 17 percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
736736 18 0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
737737 19 exceed 0.5%.

982982 12 credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for which
983983 13 there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
984984 14 subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
985985 15 offset a liability the earliest credit arising under this
986986 16 subsection shall be applied first.

992992 22 recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
993993 23 imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
994994 24 reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
995995 25 taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such
996996 26 taxable year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.

11711171 21 be taken against the taxpayer's obligations to pay withholding
11721172 22 taxes under Section 704A.

13711371 5 this Section, "unreimbursed eligible remediation costs"
13721372 6 means costs approved by the Illinois Environmental
13731373 7 Protection Agency ("Agency") under Section 58.14a of the
13741374 8 Environmental Protection Act that were paid in performing
13751375 9 environmental remediation at a site within a River Edge
13761376 10 Redevelopment Zone for which a No Further Remediation
13771377 11 Letter was issued by the Agency and recorded under Section
13781378 12 58.10 of the Environmental Protection Act. The credit must
13791379 13 be claimed for the taxable year in which Agency approval
13801380 14 of the eligible remediation costs is granted. The credit
13811381 15 is not available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any
13821382 16 related party caused or contributed to, in any material
13831383 17 respect, a release of regulated substances on, in, or
13841384 18 under the site that was identified and addressed by the
13851385 19 remedial action pursuant to the Site Remediation Program
13861386 20 of the Environmental Protection Act. Determinations as to
13871387 21 credit availability for purposes of this Section shall be
13881388 22 made consistent with rules adopted by the Pollution
13891389 23 Control Board pursuant to the Illinois Administrative

14071407 5 of the Internal Revenue Code by virtue of being a related
14081408 6 taxpayer, as well as any of its partners. The credit
14091409 7 allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b)
14101410 8 shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed eligible
14111411 9 remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site.
14121412 10 (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is

14141414 12 forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
14151415 13 for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This
14161416 14 credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
14171417 15 which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
14181418 16 subsection from more than one tax year that is available
14191419 17 to offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under
14201420 18 this subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed

14541454 16 equal to the amount of federal income tax liability for the
14551455 17 taxable year attributable to those sales and exchanges. The
14561456 18 surcharge imposed does not apply if:

15831583 1 the partnership or Subchapter S corporation. If the
15841584 2 taxpayer is a partnership or Subchapter S corporation that
15851585 3 is itself a partner of a partnership making the election
15861586 4 under paragraph (1), the credit under this paragraph shall
15871587 5 be allowed to the taxpayer's partners or shareholders (or
15881588 6 if the partner is a partnership or Subchapter S
15891589 7 corporation then its partners or shareholders) in
15901590 8 accordance with the determination of income and
15911591 9 distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
15921592 10 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. If the
15931593 11 amount of the credit allowed under this paragraph exceeds
15941594 12 the partner's or shareholder's liability for tax imposed
15951595 13 under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act
15961596 14 for the taxable year, such excess shall be treated as an
15971597 15 overpayment for purposes of Section 909 of this Act.

16021602 20 an income tax return under this Act for such taxable year
16031603 21 if the only source of net income of the individual (or the
16041604 22 individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a
16051605 23 joint return) is from an entity making the election under
16061606 24 paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or
16071607 25 shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the

16231623 5 election under paragraph (1) is liable for the
16241624 6 entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the
16251625 7 electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full
16261626 8 amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the
16271627 9 partners or shareholders shall be liable to pay the tax
16281628 10 assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner
16291629 11 or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment
16301630 12 based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share
16311631 13 of the net income of the partnership over the total net
16321632 14 income of the partnership. If the partnership or
16331633 15 Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed
16341634 16 (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an
16351635 17 amount of such tax is paid by the partners or
16361636 18 shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the
16371637 19 partnership or corporation.
16381638 20 (7) Foreign tax. For purposes of the credit allowed
16391639 21 under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a
16401640 22 partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
16411641 23 which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
16421642 24 similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
16431643 25 considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
16441644 26 extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the

16611661 7 or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which
16621662 8 an election under paragraph (1) is in effect.
16631663 9 (9) Requirement to pay estimated tax. For each taxable
16641664 10 year for which an election under paragraph (1) is in
16651665 11 effect, a partnership or Subchapter S corporation is
16661666 12 required to pay estimated tax for such taxable year under
16671667 13 Sections 803 and 804 of this Act if the amount payable as
16681668 14 estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500.
16691669 15 (10) The provisions of this subsection shall apply
16701670 16 only with respect to taxable years for which the
16711671 17 limitation on individual deductions applies under Section
16721672 18 164(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code.

20532053 4 against payments under this Section for future reporting
20542054 5 periods after the employee has worked for the employer at
20552055 6 least 90 consecutive days. In no event may the credit exceed
20562056 7 the employer's liability for the reporting period. Each
20572057 8 employer who deducts and withholds or is required to deduct
20582058 9 and withhold tax under this Act and who retains income tax
20592059 10 withholdings under this subsection must make a return with
20602060 11 respect to such taxes and retained amounts in the form and
20612061 12 manner that the Department, by rule, requires and pay to the
20622062 13 Department or to a depositary designated by the Department
20632063 14 those withheld taxes not retained by the employer.
20642064 15 For each reporting period, the employer may not claim a

20712071 22 the employer per employee for all employees making less than
20722072 23 $55,000 during the reporting period is greater than the
20732073 24 average wage paid by the employer per employee for all

20912091 6 also includes employees who work for an employer with fewer
20922092 7 than 4 employees. Employers that operate more than one
20932093 8 establishment pursuant to a franchise agreement or that

21042104 19 employees who were paid less than the current required minimum
21052105 20 wage during the reporting period prior to each increase in the
21062106 21 required minimum wage on January 1. If an employer pays an
21072107 22 employee more than the required minimum wage and that employee
21082108 23 previously earned less than the required minimum wage, the
21092109 24 employer may include the portion that does not exceed the
21102110 25 required minimum wage as compensation paid in Illinois to

21622162 5 (j) For reporting periods beginning on or after January 1,
21632163 6 2023, if a private employer grants all of its employees the
21642164 7 option of taking a paid leave of absence of at least 30 days
21652165 8 for the purpose of serving as an organ donor or bone marrow
21662166 9 donor, then the private employer may take a credit against the
21672167 10 payments due under this Section in an amount equal to the
21682168 11 amount withheld under this Section with respect to wages paid
21692169 12 while the employee is on organ donation leave, not to exceed
21702170 13 $1,000 in withholdings for each employee who takes organ
21712171 14 donation leave. To be eligible for the credit, such a leave of
21722172 15 absence must be taken without loss of pay, vacation time,
21732173 16 compensatory time, personal days, or sick time for at least
21742174 17 the first 30 days of the leave of absence. The private employer
21752175 18 shall adopt rules governing organ donation leave, including
21762176 19 rules that (i) establish conditions and procedures for
21772177 20 requesting and approving leave and (ii) require medical
21782178 21 documentation of the proposed organ or bone marrow donation
21792179 22 before leave is approved by the private employer. A private
21802180 23 employer must provide, in the manner required by the
21812181 24 Department, documentation from the employee's medical
21822182 25 provider, which the private employer receives from the
21832183 26 employee, that verifies the employee's organ donation. The

21932193 HB1578 - 61 - LRB103 04639 HLH 49647 b
21942194 1 private employer must also provide, in the manner required by
21952195 2 the Department, documentation that shows that a qualifying
21962196 3 organ donor leave policy was in place and offered to all
21972197 4 qualifying employees at the time the leave was taken. For the
21982198 5 private employer to receive the tax credit, the employee
21992199 6 taking organ donor leave must allow for the applicable medical
22002200 7 records to be disclosed to the Department. If the private
22012201 8 employer cannot provide the required documentation to the
22022202 9 Department, then the private employer is ineligible for the
22032203 10 credit under this Section. A private employer must also
22042204 11 provide, in the form required by the Department, any
22052205 12 additional documentation or information required by the
22062206 13 Department to administer the credit under this Section. The
22072207 14 credit under this subsection (j) shall be taken within one
22082208 15 year after the date upon which the organ donation leave
22092209 16 begins. If the leave taken spans into a second tax year, the
22102210 17 employer qualifies for the allowable credit in the later of
22112211 18 the 2 years. If the amount of credit exceeds the tax liability
22122212 19 for the year, the excess may be carried and applied to the tax
22132213 20 liability for the 3 taxable years following the excess credit
22142214 21 year. The tax credit shall be applied to the earliest year for
22152215 22 which there is a tax liability. If there are credits for more
22162216 23 than one year that are available to offset liability, the
22172217 24 earlier credit shall be applied first.
22182218 25 Nothing in this subsection (j) prohibits a private
22192219 26 employer from providing an unpaid leave of absence to its

22332233 4 donation, then the employer shall not be eligible for the
22342234 5 credit under this Section.
22352235 6 As used in this subsection (j):
22362236 7 "Organ" means any biological tissue of the human body that
22372237 8 may be donated by a living donor, including, but not limited
22382238 9 to, the kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, intestine, bone, skin,
22392239 10 or any subpart of those organs.
22402240 11 "Organ donor" means a person from whose body an organ is
22412241 12 taken to be transferred to the body of another person.

22462246 17 employer.
