67	67	1 such service and a public need exists to provide for, aid,
68	68	2 and assist public transportation in the metropolitan
69	69	3 region, consisting of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry,
70	70	4 and Will counties.
71	71	5 (3) Comprehensive and coordinated regional public
72	72	6 transportation is essential to public health, safety, and
73	73	7 welfare. It is essential to ensuring economic well-being,
74	74	8 addressing the climate crisis, providing affordable
75	75	9 transportation options for residents at all income levels,
76	76	10 conserving sources of energy and land for open space,
77	77	11 reducing traffic congestion, and providing for and
78	78	12 maintaining a healthful environment for the benefit of
79	79	13 present and future generations in the metropolitan region.
80	80	14 Public transportation decreases air pollution and other
81	81	15 environmental hazards as well as the tragic loss of life
82	82	16 from crashes and allows for more efficient land use and
83	83	17 planning.
84	84	18 (4) Public transportation advances equity and equal
85	85	19 opportunity by improving the mobility of the public and
86	86	20 providing more people with greater access to jobs,
87	87	21 commercial businesses, schools, medical facilities, and
88	88	22 cultural attractions.
89	89	23 (5) Public transportation in the metropolitan region
90	90	24 is being threatened by grave financial conditions. With
91	91	25 existing methods of financing, coordination, structure,
92	92	26 and management, the public transportation system is not

103	103	1 providing adequate service to ensure the public health,
104	104	2 safety, and welfare.
105	105	3 (6) The COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented
106	106	4 disruption in public transportation ridership and
107	107	5 operations from which the service providers have yet to
108	108	6 fully recover and the pandemic-related federal funding
109	109	7 support for public transportation operations has expired.
110	110	8 Although ridership levels continue to improve from the
111	111	9 lowest levels observed during the pandemic, net ridership
112	112	10 levels have not recovered to pre-pandemic levels.
113	113	11 Furthermore, the system experienced persistent losses in
114	114	12 ridership, service quality, and financial stability for
115	115	13 many years before the pandemic. These systemic issues,
116	116	14 combined with the changes in passenger behaviors,
117	117	15 experiences, and commuting patterns experienced since the
118	118	16 pandemic, create conditions untenable to a sustainable and
119	119	17 thriving public transportation system.
120	120	18 (7) Additional commitments to the public
121	121	19 transportation needs of persons with disabilities, the
122	122	20 economically disadvantaged, and the elderly are necessary.
123	123	21 (8) To solve these problems, it is necessary to
124	124	22 provide for the creation of a regional transportation
125	125	23 authority with the powers necessary to ensure adequate
126	126	24 public transportation and a board of directors that has
127	127	25 the diverse experience, expertise, and background to
128	128	26 effectively oversee the public transportation system.

139	139	1 (9) A substantial or total loss of public
140	140	2 transportation services or any segment of public
141	141	3 transportation services would create an emergency
142	142	4 threatening the safety and well-being of the people in the
143	143	5 metropolitan region.
144	144	6 (10) To meet the urgent needs of the people of the
145	145	7 metropolitan region, avoid a transportation emergency, and
146	146	8 provide financially sound methods of managing the
147	147	9 provision of public transportation services in the
148	148	10 metropolitan region, it is necessary to create one truly
149	149	11 integrated regional transit system instead of 3 separate
150	150	12 transit systems by combining the existing Service Boards
151	151	13 and Regional Transportation Authority into one agency.
152	152	14 (11) The economic vitality of Illinois requires
153	153	15 regionwide and systemwide efforts to increase ridership on
154	154	16 the transit systems, improve roadway operations within the
155	155	17 metropolitan region, and allocate resources for
156	156	18 transportation so as to assist in the development of an
157	157	19 adequate, efficient, equitable, and coordinated regional
158	158	20 public transportation system that is in a state of good
159	159	21 repair.
160	160	22 (b) It is the purpose of this Act to provide for, aid, and
161	161	23 assist public transportation in the metropolitan region
162	162	24 without impairing the overall quality of existing public
163	163	25 transportation by providing for the creation of a single

1374	1374	4 10-5-10 of the Eminent Domain Act requiring prior approval of
1375	1375	5 the Illinois Commerce Commission in certain instances shall
1376	1376	6 apply to eminent domain proceedings by the Authority only as
1377	1377	7 to any taking or damaging by the Authority of any real property
1378	1378	8 of a railroad not used for public transportation or of any real
1379	1379	9 property of other public utilities.
1380	1380	10 (c) The Authority may exercise the right of eminent domain

1388	1388	18 the approval of the Board, after public hearing and a written
1389	1389	19 study done for the Authority, that such taking is necessary to
1390	1390	20 accomplish the purposes of this Act, that no feasible
1391	1391	21 alternatives to such taking exist, and that the advantages to
1392	1392	22 the public from such taking exceed the disadvantages to the
1393	1393	23 public of doing so. In a proceeding for the exercise of the
1394	1394	24 right of eminent domain for the taking by the Authority of
1395	1395	25 property used for public park, State forest, or forest

1986	1986	12 which may result in the displacement of employees or the
1987	1987	13 rearrangement of the working forces of the Authority or of a

1989	1989	15 days' written notice of such proposed operations to the

1991	1991	17 shall provide for the selection of forces to perform the work
1992	1992	18 of that facility on the basis of agreement between the
1993	1993	19 Authority and the representatives of such employees. If there
1994	1994	20 is a failure to agree, the dispute may be submitted by the

2026	2026	17 fact-finder who shall be selected by the parties pursuant to
2027	2027	18 the rules of the American Arbitration Association from a
2028	2028	19 current listing of members of the National Academy of
2029	2029	20 Arbitrators supplied by the American Arbitration Association.
2030	2030	21 The fact-finder shall have the duty to hold hearings, or
2031	2031	22 otherwise take evidence from the parties under such other
2032	2032	23 arrangements as they may agree. Upon completion of the

2048	2048	3 recommendations, or, in cases where neither party requests
2049	2049	4 fact-finding, the Authority shall offer to submit the dispute
2050	2050	5 to arbitration by a board composed of 3 persons, one appointed
2051	2051	6 by the Authority, one appointed by the labor organization
2052	2052	7 representing the employees, and a third member to be agreed
2053	2053	8 upon by the labor organization and the Authority. The member
2054	2054	9 agreed upon by the labor organization and the Authority shall
2055	2055	10 act as Chair of the board. The determination of the majority of
2056	2056	11 the board of arbitration thus established shall be final and
2057	2057	12 binding on all matters in dispute. If, after a period of 10
2058	2058	13 days from the date of the appointment of the 2 arbitrators
2059	2059	14 representing the Authority and the labor organization, the
2060	2060	15 third arbitrator has not been selected, then either arbitrator
2061	2061	16 may request the American Arbitration Association to furnish

2067	2067	22 shall determine by lot the order of elimination, and,
2068	2068	23 thereafter, each shall in that order alternately eliminate one
2069	2069	24 name until only one name remains. The remaining person on the
2070	2070	25 list shall be the third arbitrator. Each party shall pay

2119	2119	4 narrowly tailored goals for the participation of disadvantaged
2120	2120	5 business enterprises as the Authority determines appropriate.
2121	2121	6 The goals shall be based on demonstrable evidence of the
2122	2122	7 availability of ready, willing, and able disadvantaged
2123	2123	8 business enterprises relative to all businesses ready,

2190	2190	4 (a) The Authority shall take all feasible and prudent
2191	2191	5 steps to minimize environmental disruption and pollution
2192	2192	6 arising from its activities and from public transportation
2193	2193	7 activities of transportation agencies acting pursuant to
2194	2194	8 purchase of service or grant agreements. In carrying out its
2195	2195	9 purposes and powers under this Act, the Authority shall seek
2196	2196	10 to reduce environmental disruption and pollution arising from
2197	2197	11 all forms of transportation of persons within the metropolitan

2199	2199	13 responsibilities for determining how to minimize such
2200	2200	14 disruption and pollution.
2201	2201	15 (b) In recognition of the fact that the transportation
2202	2202	16 sector accounts for approximately a third of the greenhouse
2203	2203	17 gases generated in the State and that public transportation
2204	2204	18 moves people with fewer such emissions, the Authority shall
2205	2205	19 work cooperatively with the Department of Transportation, the
2206	2206	20 Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, the Chicago
2207	2207	21 Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and other units of
2208	2208	22 government to assist them in using investments in public
2209	2209	23 transportation facilities and operations as a tool to help
2210	2210	24 them meet their greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. To

2226	2226	5 generated by the transportation sector.
2227	2227	6 (c) Subject to all applicable laws, the Authority may
2228	2228	7 participate in market-based environmental remediation
2229	2229	8 programs, including, but not limited to, carbon emissions

3507	3507	15 Program.
3508	3508	16 (b) The Service Standards shall identify quantitative and
3509	3509	17 qualitative attributes of quality public transit service using
3510	3510	18 metrics drawn from the performance of high-quality transit
3511	3511	19 systems in global metropolitan areas with comparable
3512	3512	20 populations and metropolitan economies as the metropolitan
3513	3513	21 region.
3514	3514	22 (c) The Service Standards shall include a framework that
3515	3515	23 describes the appropriate characteristics for each type of
3516	3516	24 service or mode. These characteristics include, but are not

3530	3530	3 (d) The Service Standards shall include the transition of
3531	3531	4 commuter rail in the metropolitan region to a regional rail
3532	3532	5 service pattern or the retention of commuter rail with
3533	3533	6 additional regional rail service.
3534	3534	7 (e) The Service Standards shall cover the entire
3535	3535	8 metropolitan region and include the development of transit
3536	3536	9 propensity thresholds for each type of service or mode.
3537	3537	10 Transit propensity metrics shall include, but are not limited
3538	3538	11 to, population density, employment density, low-income
3539	3539	12 populations, disabled populations, zero-car households,
3540	3540	13 intersection density, and the presence of sidewalks. Weights
3541	3541	14 should be developed for each metric and a scoring system
3542	3542	15 developed to determine transit propensity. The production of a
3543	3543	16 transit propensity assessment shall be conducted for any
3544	3544	17 proposed new or modified services and constrained to a service
3545	3545	18 or route estimated catchment area. Final determination of the
3546	3546	19 eligibility of each type of service or mode for an area is
3547	3547	20 subject to qualitative review by the Authority once the
3548	3548	21 propensity assessment is completed, reviewed, and evaluated.
3549	3549	22 (f) A local government or group of local governments may
3550	3550	23 petition the Authority to increase the level of transit
3551	3551	24 service provided above what would otherwise be provided
3552	3552	25 through the Service Standards. If a local government or group

3567	3567	4 determines has benefits to the transit system greater than or
3568	3568	5 equal to a transit support overlay district, the Authority
3569	3569	6 shall designate a preliminary amendment to the applicable
3570	3570	7 Service Standards for that area commensurate with the expected
3571	3571	8 increase in transit propensity. The Authority shall determine
3572	3572	9 the incremental cost of providing the service and present it
3573	3573	10 to the local government or group of local governments. Upon
3574	3574	11 execution of an agreement for the local government or group of
3575	3575	12 local governments to provide funding for 12 months to the
3576	3576	13 Authority equal to the incremental cost of providing the
3577	3577	14 additional service, the Authority shall finalize the Service
3578	3578	15 Standards amendment, and the Authority shall budget for and
3579	3579	16 provide the increased service. For service to be provided

3581	3581	18 identified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
3582	3582	19 Development, the Office of Transit-Oriented Development shall
3583	3583	20 provide a 50% cost share to the Authority for the increased
3584	3584	21 transit service associated with the Service Standards
3585	3585	22 amendment. The Authority may develop plans to assist local
3586	3586	23 governments in identifying corridors where additional service
3587	3587	24 could be provided through the mechanism described in this

4073	4073	14 mutual agreement with the Authority, permit the Authority
4074	4074	15 to fulfill one or more contracts that, by their terms,
4075	4075	16 extend beyond the termination date provided for in the
4076	4076	17 referendum, in which case the powers and functions of the
4077	4077	18 Authority in that county shall survive only to the extent
4078	4078	19 deemed necessary by the Authority to fulfill said contract
4079	4079	20 or contracts. The satisfaction of the requirements

4099	4099	4 functions of the Authority in the county shall occur at
4100	4100	5 midnight on the termination date if the requirements of this
4101	4101	6 Section have been met.
4102	4102	7 (f) The proceeds of taxes imposed by the Authority under
4103	4103	8 Sections 6.02 and 6.03 collected after the termination date

4106	4106	11 to support commuter rail services attributable to that county,
4107	4107	12 as determined by the Authority. Any proceeds which are in
4108	4108	13 excess of that necessary to support such services shall be
4109	4109	14 paid by the Authority to that county to be expended for public
4110	4110	15 transportation purposes in accordance with law. If no commuter
4111	4111	16 rail services under the jurisdiction of the Authority are
4112	4112	17 provided in a county in which the powers of the Authority have
4113	4113	18 been terminated under this Section, all proceeds of taxes

4203	4203	3 be practicable, to the provisions of the Non-Home Rule
4204	4204	4 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, including, without
4205	4205	5 limitation, conformity to penalties with respect to the tax

4253	4253	17 1.25% of the gross receipts from sales of tangible personal
4254	4254	18 property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation
4255	4255	19 Tax Act and 1% of the gross receipts from other taxable sales
4256	4256	20 made in the course of that business. In DuPage, Kane, Lake,
4257	4257	21 McHenry, and Will counties, the tax rate shall be 0.75% of the
4258	4258	22 gross receipts from all taxable sales made in the course of

4274	4274	2 tax on aviation fuel is expended for airport-related purposes.
4275	4275	3 If there is no airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel
4276	4276	4 tax revenue is dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from
4277	4277	5 the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax. The tax imposed under
4278	4278	6 this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
4279	4279	7 incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
4280	4280	8 Department of Revenue. The Department has full power to
4281	4281	9 administer and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and
4282	4282	10 penalties so collected in the manner provided in this Section;
4283	4283	11 and to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on

4285	4285	13 Section. In the administration of and compliance with this
4286	4286	14 Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
4287	4287	15 Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
4288	4288	16 immunities, powers, and duties, and be subject to the same

4321	4321	13 granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
4322	4322	14 seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the tax
4323	4323	15 as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in

4494	4494	6 that is purchased outside the metropolitan region at retail
4495	4495	7 from a retailer, and that is titled or registered with an

4501	4501	13 property, as "selling price" is defined in the Use Tax Act. The
4502	4502	14 tax shall be collected from persons whose Illinois address for
4503	4503	15 titling or registration purposes is given as being in the
4504	4504	16 metropolitan region. The tax shall be collected by the
4505	4505	17 Department of Revenue for the Authority. The tax must be paid
4506	4506	18 to the State, or an exemption determination must be obtained
4507	4507	19 from the Department of Revenue before the title or certificate
4508	4508	20 of registration for the property may be issued. The tax or
4509	4509	21 proof of exemption may be transmitted to the Department by way
4510	4510	22 of the State agency with which, or the State officer with whom,
4511	4511	23 the tangible personal property must be titled or registered if
4512	4512	24 the Department and the State agency or State officer determine
4513	4513	25 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
4514	4514	26 applications for title or registration.

4829	4829	18 Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the authority

4861	4861	14 Department of Revenue for the Authority. Such tax must be paid
4862	4862	15 to the State, or an exemption determination must be obtained
4863	4863	16 from the Department of Revenue before the title or certificate
4864	4864	17 of registration for the property may be issued. The tax or
4865	4865	18 proof of exemption may be transmitted to the Department by way
4866	4866	19 of the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
4867	4867	20 tangible personal property must be titled or registered if the
4868	4868	21 Department and such agency or State officer determine that
4869	4869	22 this procedure will expedite the processing of applications
4870	4870	23 for title or registration. The Department has full power to
4871	4871	24 administer and enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes,

6078	6078	16 residential units and employment near transit that supports
6079	6079	17 increased transit service, which then makes nearby property
6080	6080	18 more attractive for development, (3) support increased housing
6081	6081	19 opportunities and other infill development in transit-served
6082	6082	20 locations, (4) enhance the resilience of Illinois' transit
6083	6083	21 assets and leverage the value of transit to property owners
6084	6084	22 and tenants, and (5) increase transit availability and
6085	6085	23 ridership to achieve quality of life, economic development,
6086	6086	24 and sustainability objectives.

11919	11919	7 the burden of such amount, be reimbursed therefor or may shift

11924	11924	12 whatsoever; (2) who, if he or she has shifted such burden, has
11925	11925	13 repaid unconditionally such amount to his own vendee; and (3)
11926	11926	14 who is not entitled to receive any reimbursement therefor from
11927	11927	15 any other source than from his or her vendor, nor to be

11950	11950	2 Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund or from such appropriation
11951	11951	3 as may be available for that purpose, as appropriate. If it
11952	11952	4 appears unlikely that the amount available would permit
11953	11953	5 everyone having a claim allowed during the period covered by
11954	11954	6 such appropriation or from the Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund
11955	11955	7 Fund, as appropriate, to elect to receive a cash refund, the
11956	11956	8 Department, by rule or regulation, shall provide for the
11957	11957	9 payment of refunds in hardship cases and shall define what
11958	11958	10 types of cases qualify as hardship cases.
11959	11959	11 If a retailer who has failed to pay retailers' occupation
11960	11960	12 tax on gross receipts from retail sales is required by the
11961	11961	13 Department to pay such tax, such retailer, without filing any
11962	11962	14 formal claim with the Department, shall be allowed to take
11963	11963	15 credit against such retailers' occupation tax liability to the
11964	11964	16 extent, if any, to which such retailer has paid an amount
11965	11965	17 equivalent to retailers' occupation tax or has paid use tax in
11966	11966	18 error to his or her vendor or vendors of the same tangible
11967	11967	19 personal property which such retailer bought for resale and
11968	11968	20 did not first use before selling it, and no penalty or interest
11969	11969	21 shall be charged to such retailer on the amount of such credit.
11970	11970	22 However, when such credit is allowed to the retailer by the
11971	11971	23 Department, the vendor is precluded from refunding any of that
11972	11972	24 tax to the retailer and filing a claim for credit or refund
11973	11973	25 with respect thereto with the Department. The provisions of

12060	12060	6 (3) On August 26, 1998, the Cook County Circuit Court
12061	12061	7 entered an order in the case of Oak Park Arms Associates v.
12062	12062	8 Whitley (No. 92 L 51045), in which it found that Public Act
12063	12063	9 85-1135 violates the single subject clause of the Illinois
12064	12064	10 Constitution (Article IV, Section 8(d)). As of the time
12065	12065	11 this Act was prepared, the order declaring P.A. 85-1135
12066	12066	12 invalid has been vacated but the case is subject to
12067	12067	13 appeal.
12068	12068	14 (4) The tax provisions of Public Act 85-1135 affect
12069	12069	15 many areas of vital concern to the people of this State.
12070	12070	16 The disruption of the tax reform contained in those
12071	12071	17 provisions could constitute a grave threat to the
12072	12072	18 continued health, safety, and welfare of the people of
12073	12073	19 this State.
12074	12074	20 (b) It is the purpose of this Act to prevent or minimize
12075	12075	21 any problems relating to taxation that may result from
12076	12076	22 challenges to the constitutional validity of Public Act
12077	12077	23 85-1135, by (1) re-enacting provisions from Public Act 85-1135
12078	12078	24 and (2) validating all actions taken in reliance on those
12079	12079	25 provisions from Public Act 85-1135.
12080	12080	26 (c) Because Public Act 86-962, effective January 1, 1990,

12094	12094	4 5-1024 of the Counties Code. Because Public Act 86-1475,

12944	12944	3 service was rendered until the date the payment is made.
12945	12945	4 (d) From the effective date of this amendatory Act through
12946	12946	5 December 31, 2008, all participating employees shall
12947	12947	6 contribute to the Retirement Plan in an amount not less than 6%
12948	12948	7 of compensation, and the Authority shall contribute to the
12949	12949	8 Retirement Plan in an amount not less than 12% of
12950	12950	9 compensation.
12951	12951	10 (e)(1) Beginning January 1, 2009 the Authority shall make
12952	12952	11 contributions to the Retirement Plan in an amount equal to
12953	12953	12 twelve percent (12%) of compensation and participating
12954	12954	13 employees shall make contributions to the Retirement Plan in

12956	12956	15 contributions may be paid by the Authority and participating
12957	12957	16 employees on a payroll or other periodic basis, but shall in
12958	12958	17 any case be paid to the Retirement Plan at least monthly.
12959	12959	18 (2) For the period ending December 31, 2040, the amount
12960	12960	19 paid by the Authority in any year with respect to debt service
12961	12961	20 on bonds issued for the purposes of funding a contribution to

12979	12979	2 paid by the Authority in that following year.
12980	12980	3 (3) By September 15 of each year beginning in 2009 and
12981	12981	4 ending on December 31, 2039, on the basis of a report prepared
12982	12982	5 by an enrolled actuary retained by the Plan, the Board of
12983	12983	6 Trustees of the Retirement Plan shall determine the estimated
12984	12984	7 funded ratio of the total assets of the Retirement Plan to its
12985	12985	8 total actuarially determined liabilities. A report containing
12986	12986	9 that determination and the actuarial assumptions on which it
12987	12987	10 is based shall be filed with the Authority, the
12988	12988	11 representatives of its participating employees, the Auditor
12989	12989	12 General of the State of Illinois, and the Metropolitan
12990	12990	13 Mobility Regional Transportation Authority. If the funded
12991	12991	14 ratio is projected to decline below 60% in any year before
12992	12992	15 2040, the Board of Trustees shall also determine the increased
12993	12993	16 contribution required each year as a level percentage of
12994	12994	17 payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
12995	12995	18 projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
12996	12996	19 ratio does not decline below 60% and include that
12997	12997	20 determination in its report. If the actual funded ratio
12998	12998	21 declines below 60% in any year prior to 2040, the Board of
12999	12999	22 Trustees shall also determine the increased contribution
13000	13000	23 required each year as a level percentage of payroll during the
13001	13001	24 years after the then current year using the projected unit
13002	13002	25 credit actuarial cost method so the funded ratio is projected
13003	13003	26 to reach at least 60% no later than 10 years after the then

13015	13015	2 Within 60 days after receiving the report, the Auditor General
13016	13016	3 shall review the determination and the assumptions on which it
13017	13017	4 is based, and if he finds that the determination and the
13018	13018	5 assumptions on which it is based are unreasonable in the
13019	13019	6 aggregate, he shall issue a new determination of the funded
13020	13020	7 ratio, the assumptions on which it is based and the increased
13021	13021	8 contribution required each year as a level percentage of
13022	13022	9 payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
13023	13023	10 projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
13024	13024	11 ratio does not decline below 60%, or, in the event of an actual
13025	13025	12 decline below 60%, so the funded ratio is projected to reach
13026	13026	13 60% by no later than 10 years after the then current year. If
13027	13027	14 the Board of Trustees or the Auditor General determine that an
13028	13028	15 increased contribution is required to meet the funded ratio
13029	13029	16 required by the subsection, effective January 1 following the
13030	13030	17 determination or 30 days after such determination, whichever
13031	13031	18 is later, one-third of the increased contribution shall be
13032	13032	19 paid by participating employees and two-thirds by the
13033	13033	20 Authority, in addition to the contributions required by this
13034	13034	21 subsection (1).
13035	13035	22 (4) For the period beginning 2040, the minimum
13036	13036	23 contribution to the Retirement Plan for each fiscal year shall
13037	13037	24 be an amount determined by the Board of Trustees of the
13038	13038	25 Retirement Plan to be sufficient to bring the total assets of
13039	13039	26 the Retirement Plan up to 90% of its total actuarial

13050	13050	1 liabilities by the end of 2059. Participating employees shall
13051	13051	2 be responsible for one-third of the required contribution and
13052	13052	3 the Authority shall be responsible for two-thirds of the
13053	13053	4 required contribution. In making these determinations, the
13054	13054	5 Board of Trustees shall calculate the required contribution
13055	13055	6 each year as a level percentage of payroll over the years
13056	13056	7 remaining to and including fiscal year 2059 using the
13057	13057	8 projected unit credit actuarial cost method. A report
13058	13058	9 containing that determination and the actuarial assumptions on
13059	13059	10 which it is based shall be filed by September 15 of each year
13060	13060	11 with the Authority, the representatives of its participating
13061	13061	12 employees, the Auditor General of the State of Illinois and
13062	13062	13 the Metropolitan Mobility Regional Transportation Authority.
13063	13063	14 If the funded ratio is projected to fail to reach 90% by
13064	13064	15 December 31, 2059, the Board of Trustees shall also determine
13065	13065	16 the increased contribution required each year as a level
13066	13066	17 percentage of payroll over the years remaining until December
13067	13067	18 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method
13068	13068	19 so the funded ratio will meet 90% by December 31, 2059 and
13069	13069	20 include that determination in its report. Within 60 days after
13070	13070	21 receiving the report, the Auditor General shall review the
13071	13071	22 determination and the assumptions on which it is based and if
13072	13072	23 he finds that the determination and the assumptions on which
13073	13073	24 it is based are unreasonable in the aggregate, he shall issue a
13074	13074	25 new determination of the funded ratio, the assumptions on
13075	13075	26 which it is based and the increased contribution required each

13087	13087	2 until December 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit
13088	13088	3 actuarial cost method so the funded ratio reaches no less than
13089	13089	4 90% by December 31, 2059. If the Board of Trustees or the
13090	13090	5 Auditor General determine that an increased contribution is
13091	13091	6 required to meet the funded ratio required by this subsection,
13092	13092	7 effective January 1 following the determination or 30 days
13093	13093	8 after such determination, whichever is later, one-third of the
13094	13094	9 increased contribution shall be paid by participating
13095	13095	10 employees and two-thirds by the Authority, in addition to the
13096	13096	11 contributions required by subsection (e)(1).
13097	13097	12 (5) Beginning in 2060, the minimum contribution for each
13098	13098	13 year shall be the amount needed to maintain the total assets of
13099	13099	14 the Retirement Plan at 90% of the total actuarial liabilities
13100	13100	15 of the Plan, and the contribution shall be funded two-thirds
13101	13101	16 by the Authority and one-third by the participating employees
13102	13102	17 in accordance with this subsection.
13103	13103	18 (f) The Authority shall take the steps necessary to comply
13104	13104	19 with Section 414(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
13105	13105	20 as amended, to permit the pick-up of employee contributions
13106	13106	21 under subsections (d) and (e) on a tax-deferred basis.
13107	13107	22 (g) The Board of Trustees shall certify to the Governor,

13237	13237	8 The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 95th
13238	13238	9 General Assembly, to the extent that they affect the rights or
13239	13239	10 privileges of Authority employees that are currently the

13241	13241	12 the authorized representatives of these employees and of the

13249	13249	20 authorized representatives of these employees and of the
13250	13250	21 Authority, and that any future amendments to the provisions of
13251	13251	22 this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, to the
13252	13252	23 extent those amendments would affect the rights and privileges
13253	13253	24 of Authority employees that are currently the subject of
13254	13254	25 collective bargaining, would be consistent with 49 U.S.C.

13556	13556	4 (A) In the event of a projected shortfall, if
13557	13557	5 the Auditor General determines that the
13558	13558	6 assumptions stated in the report are not
13559	13559	7 unreasonable in the aggregate and that the plan of

13562	13562	10 levels, or other plan changes, or any combination
13563	13563	11 thereof, to be implemented over a period of not

13570	13570	18 dependents and survivors, then the Board of
13571	13571	19 Trustees shall implement the plan. If the Auditor
13572	13572	20 General determines that the assumptions stated in
13573	13573	21 the report are unreasonable in the aggregate, or
13574	13574	22 that the plan of increases in employee, retiree,

13600	13600	12 (B) In the event of a projected surplus, if
13601	13601	13 the Auditor General determines that the
13602	13602	14 assumptions stated in the report are not

13605	13605	17 survivor contribution levels, increases in benefit
13606	13606	18 levels, or both, is not unreasonable in the

13675	13675	15 of their health care benefits shall not exceed more than

13781	13781	14 the contributing employers and the trustee of the affected
13782	13782	15 pension plan. The amortization schedule may extend for any
13783	13783	16 period up to a maximum of 50 years and shall provide for
13784	13784	17 additional employer contributions in substantially equal
13785	13785	18 annual amounts over the selected period. If the contributing
13786	13786	19 employers and the trustee of the affected pension plan do not

13806	13806	3 employers have failed to meet their contribution obligations
13807	13807	4 under the terms of the affected pension plan; or (ii) if all of
13808	13808	5 the contributing employers have met their contribution
13809	13809	6 obligations under the terms of the affected pension plan, then
13810	13810	7 in the same proportion as they are required to contribute
13811	13811	8 under the terms of that plan. In the case of an affected
13812	13812	9 pension plan that has only one contributing employer, that
13813	13813	10 contributing employer is responsible for all of the additional
13814	13814	11 employer contributions required under this subsection.
13815	13815	12 If an under-funded pension plan is determined to have
13816	13816	13 achieved a funding ratio of at least 90% during the period when
13817	13817	14 an amortization schedule is in force under this Section, the
13818	13818	15 contributing employers and the trustee of the affected pension
13819	13819	16 plan, acting jointly, may cancel the amortization schedule and
13820	13820	17 the contributing employers may cease making additional
13821	13821	18 contributions under this subsection for as long as the
13822	13822	19 affected pension plan retains a funding ratio of at least 90%.

13825	13825	22 (i) any employer contribution that it is required to make as a
13826	13826	23 contributing employer, (ii) any additional employer
13827	13827	24 contribution that it is required to pay under subsection (c),

14129	14129	10 of the following conditions: insufficient provision
14130	14130	11 for light and air within or around buildings,
14131	14131	12 increased threat of spread of fire due to the close
14132	14132	13 proximity of buildings, lack of adequate or proper
14133	14133	14 access to a public right-of-way, lack of reasonably
14134	14134	15 required off-street parking, or inadequate provision
14135	14135	16 for loading and service.
14136	14136	17 (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
14137	14137	18 of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
14138	14138	19 occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
14139	14139	20 considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
14140	14140	21 the surrounding area.
14141	14141	22 (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
14142	14142	23 redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
14143	14143	24 Environmental Protection Agency or United States
14144	14144	25 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
14145	14145	26 or a study conducted by an independent consultant

14159	14159	4 storage tanks required by State or federal law,
14160	14160	5 provided that the remediation costs constitute a
14161	14161	6 material impediment to the development or
14162	14162	7 redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
14163	14163	8 (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
14164	14164	9 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
14165	14165	10 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
14166	14166	11 This means that the development occurred prior to the
14167	14167	12 adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
14168	14168	13 other community plan or that the plan was not followed
14169	14169	14 at the time of the area's development. This factor
14170	14170	15 must be documented by evidence of adverse or
14171	14171	16 incompatible land-use relationships, inadequate street
14172	14172	17 layout, improper subdivision, parcels of inadequate
14173	14173	18 shape and size to meet contemporary development
14174	14174	19 standards, or other evidence demonstrating an absence
14175	14175	20 of effective community planning.
14176	14176	21 (M) The total equalized assessed value of the
14177	14177	22 proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
14178	14178	23 of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
14179	14179	24 the redevelopment project area is designated or is
14180	14180	25 increasing at an annual rate that is less than the

14199	14199	8 (2) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
14200	14200	9 project area is impaired by a combination of 2 or more of
14201	14201	10 the following factors, each of which is (i) present, with
14202	14202	11 that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so that a
14203	14203	12 municipality may reasonably find that the factor is
14204	14204	13 clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii)
14205	14205	14 reasonably distributed throughout the vacant part of the
14206	14206	15 redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
14207	14207	16 (A) Obsolete platting of vacant land that results
14208	14208	17 in parcels of limited or narrow size or configurations
14209	14209	18 of parcels of irregular size or shape that would be
14210	14210	19 difficult to develop on a planned basis and in a manner
14211	14211	20 compatible with contemporary standards and
14212	14212	21 requirements, or platting that failed to create
14213	14213	22 rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
14214	14214	23 inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
14215	14215	24 other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
14216	14216	25 for public utilities.

14231	14231	4 or the property has been the subject of tax sales under
14232	14232	5 the Property Tax Code within the last 5 years.
14233	14233	6 (D) Deterioration of structures or site
14234	14234	7 improvements in neighboring areas adjacent to the
14235	14235	8 vacant land.
14236	14236	9 (E) The area has incurred Illinois Environmental
14237	14237	10 Protection Agency or United States Environmental
14238	14238	11 Protection Agency remediation costs for, or a study
14239	14239	12 conducted by an independent consultant recognized as
14240	14240	13 having expertise in environmental remediation has
14241	14241	14 determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous
14242	14242	15 waste, hazardous substances, or underground storage
14243	14243	16 tanks required by State or federal law, provided that
14244	14244	17 the remediation costs constitute a material impediment
14245	14245	18 to the development or redevelopment of the
14246	14246	19 redevelopment project area.

14270	14270	7 (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
14271	14271	8 project area is impaired by one of the following factors
14272	14272	9 that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a
14273	14273	10 meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
14274	14274	11 find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
14275	14275	12 of the Act and (ii) is reasonably distributed throughout
14276	14276	13 the vacant part of the redevelopment project area to which
14277	14277	14 it pertains:
14278	14278	15 (A) The area consists of one or more unused
14279	14279	16 quarries, mines, or strip mine ponds.
14280	14280	17 (B) The area consists of unused rail yards, rail
14281	14281	18 tracks, or railroad rights-of-way.
14282	14282	19 (C) The area, prior to its designation, is subject
14283	14283	20 to (i) chronic flooding that adversely impacts on real
14284	14284	21 property in the area as certified by a registered
14285	14285	22 professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
14286	14286	23 or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
14287	14287	24 part of the area and contributes to flooding within
14288	14288	25 the same watershed, but only if the redevelopment
14289	14289	26 project provides for facilities or improvements to

14303	14303	4 disposal site containing earth, stone, building
14304	14304	5 debris, or similar materials that were removed from
14305	14305	6 construction, demolition, excavation, or dredge sites.
14306	14306	7 (E) Prior to November 1, 1999, the area is not less
14307	14307	8 than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
14308	14308	9 vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used
14309	14309	10 for commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years
14310	14310	11 prior to the designation of the redevelopment project
14311	14311	12 area), and the area meets at least one of the factors
14312	14312	13 itemized in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the area
14313	14313	14 has been designated as a town or village center by
14314	14314	15 ordinance or comprehensive plan adopted prior to
14315	14315	16 January 1, 1982, and the area has not been developed

14317	14317	18 (F) The area qualified as a blighted improved area
14318	14318	19 immediately prior to becoming vacant, unless there has
14319	14319	20 been substantial private investment in the immediately
14320	14320	21 surrounding area.
14321	14321	22 (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
14322	14322	23 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
14323	14323	24 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
14324	14324	25 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth

14336	14336	1 On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
14337	14337	2 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
14338	14338	3 project area located within the territorial limits of the
14339	14339	4 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
14340	14340	5 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
14341	14341	6 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
14342	14342	7 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
14343	14343	8 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
14344	14344	9 (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
14345	14345	10 neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
14346	14346	11 components of buildings or improvements in such a
14347	14347	12 combination that a documented building condition analysis
14348	14348	13 determines that major repair is required or the defects
14349	14349	14 are so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
14350	14350	15 removed.
14351	14351	16 (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling
14352	14352	17 into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
14353	14353	18 original use.
14354	14354	19 (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
14355	14355	20 including, but not limited to, major defects in the
14356	14356	21 secondary building components such as doors, windows,
14357	14357	22 porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect
14358	14358	23 to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways,
14359	14359	24 alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
14360	14360	25 surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,
14361	14361	26 but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,

14372	14372	1 depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
14373	14373	2 through paved surfaces.
14374	14374	3 (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
14375	14375	4 standards. All structures that do not meet the standards
14376	14376	5 of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other
14377	14377	6 governmental codes applicable to property, but not
14378	14378	7 including housing and property maintenance codes.
14379	14379	8 (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
14380	14380	9 structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
14381	14381	10 local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
14382	14382	11 of structures below minimum code standards.
14383	14383	12 (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
14384	14384	13 that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent
14385	14385	14 an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
14386	14386	15 extent, or duration of the vacancies.
14387	14387	16 (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary
14388	14388	17 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
14389	14389	18 or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
14390	14390	19 that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
14391	14391	20 other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
14392	14392	21 and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
14393	14393	22 skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
14394	14394	23 improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
14395	14395	24 area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
14396	14396	25 absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
14397	14397	26 bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
14398	14398

14408	14408	1 structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
14409	14409	2 and from all rooms and units within a building.
14410	14410	3 (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
14411	14411	4 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
14412	14412	5 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
14413	14413	6 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
14414	14414	7 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
14415	14415	8 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
14416	14416	9 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated, antiquated,
14417	14417	10 obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii) lacking within the
14418	14418	11 redevelopment project area.
14419	14419	12 (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
14420	14420	13 structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
14421	14421	14 use of property and the crowding of buildings and
14422	14422	15 accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem
14423	14423	16 conditions warranting the designation of an area as one
14424	14424	17 exhibiting excessive land coverage are: the presence of
14425	14425	18 buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located
14426	14426	19 on parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
14427	14427	20 present-day standards of development for health and safety
14428	14428	21 and the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
14429	14429	22 For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
14430	14430	23 these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
14431	14431	24 conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
14432	14432	25 within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
14433	14433	26 fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
14434	14434

14985	14985	2 utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
14986	14986	3 area.
14987	14987	4 (5) If: (a) the redevelopment plan will not result in
14988	14988	5 displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
14989	14989	6 residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
14990	14990	7 plan that such displacement will not result from the plan;

14992	14992	9 project area or a qualifying transit facility located
14993	14993	10 within a transit facility improvement area established

15718	15718	15 the affordability of rent to low and very low-income
15719	15719	16 households. As units become available, they shall be
15720	15720	17 rented to income-eligible tenants. The municipality

17140	17140	11 prescribe forms of cost accounting and standards of

17173	17173	8 If the amount appropriated for transportation
17174	17174	9 reimbursement is insufficient to fund total claims for any
17175	17175	10 fiscal year, the State Board of Education shall reduce each
17176	17176	11 school district's allowable costs and flat grant amount
17177	17177	12 proportionately to make total adjusted claims equal the total
17178	17178	13 amount appropriated.

17807	17807	12 (a) Obstruction of emergency vehicles. Every railroad
17808	17808	13 shall be operated in such a manner as to minimize
17809	17809	14 obstruction of emergency vehicles at crossings. Where such
17810	17810	15 obstruction occurs and the train crew is aware of the
17811	17811	16 obstruction, the train crew shall immediately take any

17833	17833	3 (b) Obstruction of highway at-grade at grade crossing
17834	17834	4 prohibited. It is unlawful for a rail carrier to permit
17835	17835	5 any train, railroad car or engine to obstruct public
17836	17836	6 travel at a railroad-highway grade crossing for a period
17837	17837	7 in excess of 10 minutes, except where such train or
17838	17838	8 railroad car is continuously moving or cannot be moved by
17839	17839	9 reason of circumstances over which the rail carrier has no
17840	17840	10 reasonable control.
17841	17841	11 In a county with a population of greater than
17842	17842	12 1,000,000, as determined by the most recent federal
17843	17843	13 census, during the hours of 7:00 a.m. through 9:00 a.m.
17844	17844	14 and 4:00 p.m. through 6:00 p.m. it is unlawful for a rail
17845	17845	15 carrier to permit any single train or railroad car to
17846	17846	16 obstruct public travel at a railroad-highway grade
17847	17847	17 crossing in excess of a total of 10 minutes during a
17848	17848	18 30-minute 30 minute period, except where the train or
17849	17849	19 railroad car cannot be moved by reason or circumstances
17850	17850	20 over which the rail carrier has no reasonable control.
17851	17851	21 Under no circumstances will a moving train be stopped for
17852	17852	22 the purposes of issuing a citation related to this
17853	17853	23 Section.
17854	17854	24 However, no employee acting under the rules or orders
17855	17855	25 of the rail carrier or its supervisory personnel may be

17870	17870	4 $200 nor more than $500 if the duration of the obstruction
17871	17871	5 is in excess of 10 minutes but no longer than 15 minutes.
17872	17872	6 If the duration of the obstruction exceeds 15 minutes the
17873	17873	7 violation shall be a business offense and the following
17874	17874	8 fines shall be imposed: if the duration of the obstruction
17875	17875	9 is in excess of 15 minutes but no longer than 20 minutes,
17876	17876	10 the fine shall be $500; if the duration of the obstruction
17877	17877	11 is in excess of 20 minutes but no longer than 25 minutes,
17878	17878	12 the fine shall be $700; if the duration of the obstruction

17882	17882	16 the fine shall be $1,000; if the duration of the
17883	17883	17 obstruction is in excess of 35 minutes, the fine shall be
17884	17884	18 $1,000 plus an additional $500 for each 5 minutes of
17885	17885	19 obstruction in excess of 25 minutes of obstruction.
17886	17886	20 (2) Other operational requirements.
17887	17887	21 (a) Bell and whistle-crossings. Every rail carrier
17888	17888	22 shall cause a bell, and a whistle or horn to be placed and
17889	17889	23 kept on each locomotive, and shall cause the same to be
17890	17890	24 rung or sounded by the engineer or fireman, at the
17891	17891	25 distance of at least 1,320 feet, from the place where the
17892	17892	26 railroad crosses or intersects any public highway, and

17903	17903	1 shall be kept ringing or sounding until the highway is
17904	17904	2 reached; provided that at crossings where the Commission
17905	17905	3 shall by order direct, only after a hearing has been held
17906	17906	4 to determine the public is reasonably and sufficiently
17907	17907	5 protected, the rail carrier may be excused from giving
17908	17908	6 warning provided by this paragraph.
17909	17909	7 (a-5) The requirements of paragraph (a) of this
17910	17910	8 subsection (2) regarding ringing a bell and sounding a
17911	17911	9 whistle or horn do not apply at a railroad crossing that
17912	17912	10 has a permanently installed automated audible warning
17913	17913	11 device authorized by the Commission under Section
17914	17914	12 18c-7402.1 that sounds automatically when an approaching
17915	17915	13 train is at least 1,320 feet from the crossing and that
17916	17916	14 keeps sounding until the lead locomotive has crossed the
17917	17917	15 highway. The engineer or fireman may ring the bell or
17918	17918	16 sound the whistle or horn at a railroad crossing that has a
17919	17919	17 permanently installed audible warning device.
17920	17920	18 (b) Speed limits. Each rail carrier shall operate its
17921	17921	19 trains in compliance with speed limits set by the
17922	17922	20 Commission. The Commission may set train speed limits only
17923	17923	21 where such limits are necessitated by extraordinary
17924	17924	22 circumstances affecting the public safety, and shall
17925	17925	23 maintain such train speed limits in effect only for such
17926	17926	24 time as the extraordinary circumstances prevail.
17927	17927	25 The Commission and the Department of Transportation
17928	17928	26 shall conduct a study of the relation between train speeds

17940	17940	2 shall report the findings of the study to the General
17941	17941	3 Assembly no later than January 5, 1997.
17942	17942	4 (c) Special speed limit; pilot project. The Commission
17943	17943	5 and the Board of the Metropolitan Mobility Authority
17944	17944	6 Commuter Rail Division of the Regional Transportation
17945	17945	7 Authority shall conduct a pilot project in the Village of
17946	17946	8 Fox River Grove, the site of the fatal school bus crash at
17947	17947	9 a railroad crossing on October 25, 1995, in order to
17948	17948	10 improve railroad crossing safety. For this project, the
17949	17949	11 Commission is directed to set the maximum train speed
17950	17950	12 limit for Metropolitan Mobility Regional Transportation
17951	17951	13 Authority trains at 50 miles per hour at intersections on
17952	17952	14 that portion of the intrastate rail line located in the
17953	17953	15 Village of Fox River Grove. If the Metropolitan Mobility
17954	17954	16 Regional Transportation Authority deliberately fails to
17955	17955	17 comply with this maximum speed limit, then any entity,
17956	17956	18 governmental or otherwise, that provides capital or
17957	17957	19 operational funds to the Metropolitan Mobility Regional
17958	17958	20 Transportation Authority shall appropriately reduce or
17959	17959	21 eliminate that funding. The Commission shall report to the
17960	17960	22 Governor and the General Assembly on the results of this
17961	17961	23 pilot project in January 1999, January 2000, and January
17962	17962	24 2001. The Commission shall also submit a final report on
17963	17963	25 the pilot project to the Governor and the General Assembly
17964	17964	26 in January 2001. The provisions of this subsection (c),
