12501250 5 (r) "Supervisor" is:
12511251 6 (1) An employee whose principal work is substantially
12521252 7 different from that of his or her subordinates and who has
12531253 8 authority, in the interest of the employer, to hire,
12541254 9 transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge,
12551255 10 direct, reward, or discipline employees, to adjust their
12561256 11 grievances, or to effectively recommend any of those
12571257 12 actions, if the exercise of that authority is not of a
12581258 13 merely routine or clerical nature, but requires the
12591259 14 consistent use of independent judgment. Except with
12601260 15 respect to police employment, the term "supervisor"
12611261 16 includes only those individuals who devote a preponderance
12621262 17 of their employment time to exercising that authority,
12631263 18 State supervisors notwithstanding. Determinations of
12641264 19 supervisor status shall be based on actual employee job
12651265 20 duties and not solely on written job descriptions. Nothing
12661266 21 in this definition prohibits an individual from also
12671267 22 meeting the definition of "managerial employee" under
12681268 23 subsection (j) of this Section. In addition, in
12691269 24 determining supervisory status in police employment, rank
12701270 25 shall not be determinative. The Board shall consider, as

12861286 5 but these factors shall not be the sole or predominant
12871287 6 factors considered by the Board in determining police
12881288 7 supervisory status.
12891289 8 Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding
12901290 9 paragraph, in determining supervisory status in fire

12921292 11 supervisor who has established representation rights under
12931293 12 Section 9 of this Act. Further, in fire fighter units,
12941294 13 employees shall consist of fire fighters of the highest
12951295 14 rank of company officer and below. A company officer may
12961296 15 be responsible for multiple companies or apparatus on a
12971297 16 shift, multiple stations, or an entire shift. There may be
12981298 17 more than one company officer per shift. If a company
12991299 18 officer otherwise qualifies as a supervisor under the
13001300 19 preceding paragraph, however, he or she shall not be
13011301 20 included in the fire fighter unit. If there is no rank
13021302 21 between that of chief and the highest company officer, the
13031303 22 employer may designate a position on each shift as a Shift
13041304 23 Commander, and the persons occupying those positions shall
13051305 24 be supervisors. All other ranks above that of the highest
13061306 25 company officer shall be supervisors.

25272527 10 (1) the consumer market in Illinois has changed since
25282528 11 the creation of the Illinois State Lottery in 1974;
25292529 12 (2) the Internet has become an integral part of
25302530 13 everyday life for a significant number of Illinois
25312531 14 residents not only in regards to their professional life,
25322532 15 but also in regards to personal business and
25332533 16 communication; and
25342534 17 (3) the current practices of selling lottery tickets
25352535 18 does not appeal to the new form of market participants who
25362536 19 prefer to make purchases on the Internet at their own
25372537 20 convenience.
25382538 21 It is the intent of the General Assembly to create an
25392539 22 Internet program for the sale of lottery tickets to capture
25402540 23 this new form of market participant.

60726072 7 an additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of
60736073 8 qualified property placed in service during the taxable

61146114 13 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
61156115 14 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an

61226122 21 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
61236123 22 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
61246124 23 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
61256125 24 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for

61426142 5 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
61436143 6 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one

63926392 3 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
63936393 4 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
63946394 5 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
63956395 6 been allowed for the year in which credit for such
63966396 7 property was originally allowed by eliminating such
63976397 8 property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
63986398 9 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously

64006400 11 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
64016401 12 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
64026402 13 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
64036403 14 of such reduction.
64046404 15 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
64056405 16 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
64066406 17 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
64076407 18 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in

64096409 20 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more
64106410 21 over the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
64116411 22 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of

64136413 24 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base

64296429 4 percentage times a fraction, the numerator of which is
64306430 5 0.5% and the denominator of which is 1%, but shall not
64316431 6 exceed 0.5%.
64326432 7 (8) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1,

64356435 10 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section as provided in
64366436 11 Section 13 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
64376437 12 The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
64386438 13 liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
64396439 14 credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may
64406440 15 be carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's
64416441 16 liability in succeeding calendar years in the same manner
64426442 17 provided under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act.
64436443 18 The credit or credits shall be applied to the earliest
64446444 19 year for which there is a tax liability. If there are
64456445 20 credits from more than one taxable year that are available
64466446 21 to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied

64736473 12 (1) Subject to subsections (b) and (b-5) of Section
64746474 13 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, a taxpayer shall
64756475 14 be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by subsections
64766476 15 (a) and (b) of this Section for investment in qualified
64776477 16 property which is placed in service by a Department of
64786478 17 Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
64796479 18 Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
64806480 19 property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
64816481 20 minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
64826482 21 subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
64836483 22 Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the

65016501 4 credit applicable to such investments shall be taken in
65026502 5 the taxable year in which such investments have been
65036503 6 completed. The credit for additional investments beyond
65046504 7 the minimum investment by a designated high impact
65056505 8 business authorized under subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section
65066506 9 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act shall be available
65076507 10 only in the taxable year in which the property is placed in
65086508 11 service and shall not be allowed to the extent that it
65096509 12 would reduce a taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by
65106510 13 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section to below zero. For
65116511 14 tax years ending on or after December 31, 1987, the credit
65126512 15 shall be allowed for the tax year in which the property is
65136513 16 placed in service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds
65146514 17 the tax liability for that year, whether it exceeds the
65156515 18 original liability or the liability as later amended, such
65166516 19 excess may be carried forward and applied to the tax
65176517 20 liability of the 5 taxable years following the excess
65186518 21 credit year. The credit shall be applied to the earliest
65196519 22 year for which there is a liability. If there is credit
65206520 23 from more than one tax year that is available to offset a
65216521 24 liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be
65226522 25 applied first.

65376537 4 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
65386538 5 buildings and structural components of buildings;
65396539 6 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
65406540 7 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
65416541 8 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
65426542 9 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
65436543 10 (h);
65446544 11 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

65486548 15 Section.
65496549 16 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
65506550 17 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
65516551 18 income tax purposes.
65526552 19 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income
65536553 20 tax depreciation purposes is increased after it has been
65546554 21 placed in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade
65556555 22 Zone or Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the
65566556 23 amount of such increase shall be deemed property placed in
65576557 24 service on the date of such increase in basis.
65586558 25 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
65596559 26 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.

65706570 1 (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before
65716571 2 December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
65726572 3 property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
65736573 4 after being placed in service, or the situs of any
65746574 5 qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
65756575 6 months after being placed in service, the tax imposed
65766576 7 under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such
65776577 8 taxable year shall be increased. Such increase shall be
65786578 9 determined by (i) recomputing the investment credit which
65796579 10 would have been allowed for the year in which credit for
65806580 11 such property was originally allowed by eliminating such
65816581 12 property from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such
65826582 13 recomputed credit from the amount of credit previously
65836583 14 allowed. For the purposes of this paragraph (6), a
65846584 15 reduction of the basis of qualified property resulting
65856585 16 from a redetermination of the purchase price shall be
65866586 17 deemed a disposition of qualified property to the extent
65876587 18 of such reduction.
65886588 19 (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
65896589 20 1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
65906590 21 subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
65916591 22 the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
65926592 23 the explicit terms and length of the contract under
65936593 24 Section 18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed
65946594 25 under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be

66106610 5 shall also be allowed a High Impact Business construction jobs
66116611 6 credit against the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b)
66126612 7 of this Section as provided in subsections (i) and (j) of
66136613 8 Section 5.5 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act.
66146614 9 The credit or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's
66156615 10 liability to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or
66166616 11 credits exceeds the taxpayer's liability, the excess may be
66176617 12 carried forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability
66186618 13 in succeeding calendar years in the manner provided under
66196619 14 paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or credits
66206620 15 shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax
66216621 16 liability. If there are credits from more than one taxable
66226622 17 year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier
66236623 18 credit shall be applied first.

66506650 9 and (b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c)
66516651 10 and (d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
66526652 11 multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
66536653 12 Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
66546654 13 allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
66556655 14 base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
66566656 15 rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
66576657 16 Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
66586658 17 subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
66596659 18 because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections
66606660 19 (a) and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
66616661 20 liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
66626662 21 forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by
66636663 22 subsections (a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the
66646664 23 excess credit year, provided that no credit may be carried
66656665 24 forward to any year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This

66836683 6 Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
66846684 7 subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
66856685 8 shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
66866686 9 recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
66876687 10 imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
66886688 11 reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
66896689 12 taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such
66906690 13 taxable year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
66916691 14 (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
66926692 15 ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,

66946694 17 imposed by subsections (a) and (b) under this Section for all
66956695 18 amounts paid or accrued, on behalf of all persons employed by
66966696 19 the taxpayer in Illinois or Illinois residents employed

67596759 10 credit for increasing research activities which would be
67606760 11 allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
67616761 12 which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures
67626762 13 for increasing research activities in this State" means the
67636763 14 excess of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in
67646764 15 which incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base
67656765 16 period, "qualifying expenditures for the base period" means

67896789 4 2 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
67906790 5 year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
67916791 6 given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
67926792 7 remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
67936793 8 applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
67946794 9 liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
67956795 10 credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
67966796 11 following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
67976797 12 that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
67986798 13 than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
67996799 14 credit is given was incurred.

68676867 10 (a) and (b) shall be equal to 25% of the unreimbursed
68686868 11 eligible remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site,

69066906 13 unused credit and remaining carry-forward period of the
69076907 14 seller. To perfect the transfer, the assignor shall record
69086908 15 the transfer in the chain of title for the site and provide
69096909 16 written notice to the Director of the Illinois Department
69106910 17 of Revenue of the assignor's intent to sell the
69116911 18 remediation site and the amount of the tax credit to be
69126912 19 transferred as a portion of the sale. In no event may a

69156915 22 of subsection (i).
69166916 23 (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"

69376937 8 the custodian of qualifying pupils exceed (i) $500 for tax
69386938 9 years ending prior to December 31, 2017, and (ii) $750 for tax

69406940 11 credit under this subsection reduce the taxpayer's liability
69416941 12 under this Act to less than zero. Notwithstanding any other
69426942 13 provision of law, for taxable years beginning on or after

70387038 1 remediation costs in excess of $100,000 per site.
70397039 2 (ii) A credit allowed under this subsection that is
70407040 3 unused in the year the credit is earned may be carried
70417041 4 forward to each of the 5 taxable years following the year
70427042 5 for which the credit is first earned until it is used. This
70437043 6 credit shall be applied first to the earliest year for
70447044 7 which there is a liability. If there is a credit under this
70457045 8 subsection from more than one tax year that is available
70467046 9 to offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under
70477047 10 this subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed
70487048 11 under this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a
70497049 12 sale of all or part of the remediation site for which the
70507050 13 credit was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site
70517051 14 and the tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and
70527052 15 remaining carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect
70537053 16 the transfer, the assignor shall record the transfer in
70547054 17 the chain of title for the site and provide written notice
70557055 18 to the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of
70567056 19 the assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the
70577057 20 amount of the tax credit to be transferred as a portion of
70587058 21 the sale. In no event may a credit be transferred to any
70597059 22 taxpayer if the taxpayer or a related party would not be
70607060 23 eligible under the provisions of subsection (i).
70617061 24 (iii) For purposes of this Section, the term "site"
70627062 25 shall have the same meaning as under Section 58.2 of the
70637063 26 Environmental Protection Act.

71537153 8 taxable year.
71547154 9 (3) Net income defined.
71557155 10 (A) In general. For purposes of paragraph (2), the

71577157 12 Section 202 of this Act, except that the following
71587158 13 provisions shall not apply:
71597159 14 (i) the standard exemption allowed under
71607160 15 Section 204;
71617161 16 (ii) the deduction for net losses allowed

71667166 21 modifications under Section 203(d)(2)(H) and
71677167 22 Section 203(d)(2)(I).
71687168 23 (B) Special rule for tiered partnerships. If a
71697169 24 taxpayer making the election under paragraph (1) is a
71707170 25 partner of another taxpayer making the election under

71827182 1 provided in subparagraph (A), except that the taxpayer
71837183 2 shall subtract its distributive share of the net
71847184 3 income of the electing partnership (including its
71857185 4 distributive share of the net income of the electing
71867186 5 partnership derived as a distributive share from
71877187 6 electing partnerships in which it is a partner).
71887188 7 (4) Credit for entity level tax. Each partner or
71897189 8 shareholder of a taxpayer making the election under this
71907190 9 Section shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed
71917191 10 under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act
71927192 11 for the taxable year of the partnership or Subchapter S
71937193 12 corporation for which an election is in effect ending
71947194 13 within or with the taxable year of the partner or
71957195 14 shareholder in an amount equal to 4.95% times the partner
71967196 15 or shareholder's distributive share of the net income of
71977197 16 the electing partnership or Subchapter S corporation, but
71987198 17 not to exceed the partner's or shareholder's share of the
71997199 18 tax imposed under paragraph (1) which is actually paid by
72007200 19 the partnership or Subchapter S corporation. If the
72017201 20 taxpayer is a partnership or Subchapter S corporation that
72027202 21 is itself a partner of a partnership making the election
72037203 22 under paragraph (1), the credit under this paragraph shall
72047204 23 be allowed to the taxpayer's partners or shareholders (or
72057205 24 if the partner is a partnership or Subchapter S
72067206 25 corporation then its partners or shareholders) in

72187218 1 distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
72197219 2 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. If the
72207220 3 amount of the credit allowed under this paragraph exceeds
72217221 4 the partner's or shareholder's liability for tax imposed
72227222 5 under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act
72237223 6 for the taxable year, such excess shall be treated as an
72247224 7 overpayment for purposes of Section 909 of this Act.
72257225 8 (5) Nonresidents. A nonresident individual who is a
72267226 9 partner or shareholder of a partnership or Subchapter S
72277227 10 corporation for a taxable year for which an election is in
72287228 11 effect under paragraph (1) shall not be required to file
72297229 12 an income tax return under this Act for such taxable year
72307230 13 if the only source of net income of the individual (or the
72317231 14 individual and the individual's spouse in the case of a
72327232 15 joint return) is from an entity making the election under
72337233 16 paragraph (1) and the credit allowed to the partner or
72347234 17 shareholder under paragraph (4) equals or exceeds the
72357235 18 individual's liability for the tax imposed under
72367236 19 subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act for the
72377237 20 taxable year.
72387238 21 (6) Liability for tax. Except as provided in this
72397239 22 paragraph, a partnership or Subchapter S making the
72407240 23 election under paragraph (1) is liable for the
72417241 24 entity-level tax imposed under paragraph (2). If the
72427242 25 electing partnership or corporation fails to pay the full
72437243 26 amount of tax deemed assessed under paragraph (2), the

72547254 1 partners or shareholders shall be liable to pay the tax
72557255 2 assessed (including penalties and interest). Each partner
72567256 3 or shareholder shall be liable for the unpaid assessment
72577257 4 based on the ratio of the partner's or shareholder's share
72587258 5 of the net income of the partnership over the total net
72597259 6 income of the partnership. If the partnership or
72607260 7 Subchapter S corporation fails to pay the tax assessed
72617261 8 (including penalties and interest) and thereafter an
72627262 9 amount of such tax is paid by the partners or
72637263 10 shareholders, such amount shall not be collected from the
72647264 11 partnership or corporation.
72657265 12 (7) Foreign tax. For purposes of the credit allowed
72667266 13 under Section 601(b)(3) of this Act, tax paid by a
72677267 14 partnership or Subchapter S corporation to another state
72687268 15 which, as determined by the Department, is substantially
72697269 16 similar to the tax imposed under this subsection, shall be
72707270 17 considered tax paid by the partner or shareholder to the
72717271 18 extent that the partner's or shareholder's share of the
72727272 19 income of the partnership or Subchapter S corporation
72737273 20 allocated and apportioned to such other state bears to the
72747274 21 total income of the partnership or Subchapter S
72757275 22 corporation allocated or apportioned to such other state.
72767276 23 (8) Suspension of withholding. The provisions of
72777277 24 Section 709.5 of this Act shall not apply to a partnership
72787278 25 or Subchapter S corporation for the taxable year for which
72797279 26 an election under paragraph (1) is in effect.

72937293 4 required to pay estimated tax for such taxable year under
72947294 5 Sections 803 and 804 of this Act if the amount payable as
72957295 6 estimated tax can reasonably be expected to exceed $500.
72967296 7 (10) The provisions of this subsection shall apply
72977297 8 only with respect to taxable years for which the
72987298 9 limitation on individual deductions applies under Section

1459314593 16 distributed to the purse account of the organization licensee
1459414594 17 and the organization licensee.
1459514595 18 (d) A pari-mutuel ticket shall be honored until December
1459614596 19 31 of the next calendar year, and the licensee shall pay the

1461714617 4 an owner, trainer, jockey, driver, or employee thereof at a
1461814618 5 race track is a Class C misdemeanor.
1461914619 6 (f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Act, an
1462014620 7 organization licensee may contract with an entity in another
1462114621 8 state or country to permit any legal wagering entity in
1462214622 9 another state or country to accept wagers solely within such
1462314623 10 other state or country on races conducted by the organization
1462414624 11 licensee in this State. Beginning January 1, 2000, these
1462514625 12 wagers shall not be subject to State taxation. Until January
1462614626 13 1, 2000, when the out-of-State entity conducts a pari-mutuel
1462714627 14 pool separate from the organization licensee, a privilege tax
1462814628 15 equal to 7 1/2% of all monies received by the organization
1462914629 16 licensee from entities in other states or countries pursuant
1463014630 17 to such contracts is imposed on the organization licensee, and
1463114631 18 such privilege tax shall be remitted to the Department of
1463214632 19 Revenue within 48 hours of receipt of the moneys from the
1463314633 20 simulcast. When the out-of-State entity conducts a combined
1463414634 21 pari-mutuel pool with the organization licensee, the tax shall
1463514635 22 be 10% of all monies received by the organization licensee
1463614636 23 with 25% of the receipts from this 10% tax to be distributed to

1465414654 5 combined with its gross or net wagering pools or with wagering
1465514655 6 pools established by other states.
1465614656 7 (g) A host track may accept interstate simulcast wagers on
1465714657 8 horse races conducted in other states or countries and shall
1465814658 9 control the number of signals and types of breeds of racing in
1465914659 10 its simulcast program, subject to the disapproval of the
1466014660 11 Division Board. The Division Board may prohibit a simulcast
1466114661 12 program only if it finds that the simulcast program is clearly
1466214662 13 adverse to the integrity of racing. The host track simulcast
1466314663 14 program shall include the signal of live racing of all
1466414664 15 organization licensees. All non-host licensees and advance
1466514665 16 deposit wagering licensees shall carry the signal of and
1466614666 17 accept wagers on live racing of all organization licensees.
1466714667 18 Advance deposit wagering licensees shall not be permitted to

1466914669 20 pursuant to this Section without the approval and consent of
1467014670 21 the organization licensee providing the signal. For one year
1467114671 22 after August 15, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act
1467214672 23 98-968), non-host licensees may carry the host track simulcast
1467314673 24 program and shall accept wagers on all races included as part
1467414674 25 of the simulcast program of horse races conducted at race

1468814688 3 at race tracks located outside of North America, non-host
1468914689 4 licensees may accept wagers on all races included as part of
1469014690 5 the simulcast program upon which wagering is permitted.
1469114691 6 Beginning August 15, 2015 (one year after the effective date
1469214692 7 of Public Act 98-968), non-host licensees may carry the host
1469314693 8 track simulcast program and shall accept wagers on all races
1469414694 9 included as part of the simulcast program upon which wagering
1469514695 10 is permitted. All organization licensees shall provide their

1469714697 12 simulcast commission fee not to exceed 6% of the advance
1469814698 13 deposit wagering licensee's Illinois handle on the
1469914699 14 organization licensee's signal without prior approval by the
1470014700 15 Division Board. The Division Board may adopt rules under which
1470114701 16 it may permit simulcast commission fees in excess of 6%. The
1470214702 17 Division Board shall adopt rules limiting the interstate
1470314703 18 commission fees charged to an advance deposit wagering
1470414704 19 licensee. The Division Board shall adopt rules regarding
1470514705 20 advance deposit wagering on interstate simulcast races that
1470614706 21 shall reflect, among other things, the General Assembly's
1470714707 22 desire to maximize revenues to the State, horsemen purses, and
1470814708 23 organization licensees. However, organization licensees
1470914709 24 providing live signals pursuant to the requirements of this
1471014710 25 subsection (g) may petition the Division Board to withhold

1472514725 4 state or federal governmental agency, the advance deposit
1472614726 5 wagering licensee's license has been suspended in another
1472714727 6 state, or the advance deposit wagering licensee's license is

1472914729 8 licensee's provision of their live signal to an advance
1473014730 9 deposit wagering licensee under this subsection (g) pertains
1473114731 10 to wagers placed from within Illinois. Advance deposit
1473214732 11 wagering licensees may place advance deposit wagering
1473314733 12 terminals at wagering facilities as a convenience to
1473414734 13 customers. The advance deposit wagering licensee shall not
1473514735 14 charge or collect any fee from purses for the placement of the
1473614736 15 advance deposit wagering terminals. The costs and expenses of
1473714737 16 the host track and non-host licensees associated with
1473814738 17 interstate simulcast wagering, other than the interstate
1473914739 18 commission fee, shall be borne by the host track and all
1474014740 19 non-host licensees incurring these costs. The interstate
1474114741 20 commission fee shall not exceed 5% of Illinois handle on the
1474214742 21 interstate simulcast race or races without prior approval of
1474314743 22 the Division Board. The Division Board shall promulgate rules
1474414744 23 under which it may permit interstate commission fees in excess
1474514745 24 of 5%. The interstate commission fee and other fees charged by

1479614796 3 wagers placed from within Illinois must be placed through a
1479714797 4 Division-approved Board-approved advance deposit wagering
1479814798 5 licensee; no other entity may accept an advance deposit wager
1479914799 6 from a person within Illinois. All advance deposit wagering is

1480614806 13 emergency and necessary for the public interest, safety, and
1480714807 14 welfare. An advance deposit wagering licensee may retain all

2446924469 23 (2) The Division Board shall presume, subject to
2447024470 24 rebuttal, that the granting of an application to become a

2448624486 4 determines that granting the license would create a local
2448724487 5 concentration of licensed video gaming locations.
2448824488 6 For the purposes of this subsection (h-5):
2448924489 7 "Mall" means a building, or adjoining or connected
2449024490 8 buildings, containing 4 or more separate locations.
2449124491 9 "Video gaming operation" means the conducting of video
2449224492 10 gaming and all related activities.
2449324493 11 "Location" means a space within a mall containing a
2449424494 12 separate business, a place for a separate business, or a place
2449524495 13 subject to a separate leasing arrangement by the mall owner.
2449624496 14 "Licensed video gaming location" means a licensed
2449724497 15 establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, licensed
2449824498 16 veterans establishment, licensed truck stop establishment, or

2450324503 21 within the mall.
2450424504 22 (i) Undue economic concentration. In addition to
2450524505 23 considering all other requirements under this Act, in deciding
2450624506 24 whether to approve the operation of video gaming terminals by
2450724507 25 a terminal operator in a location, the Division Board shall

2452124521 3 terminals if the Division Board determines such operation will
2452224522 4 result in undue economic concentration. For purposes of this
