7 (c) The chief county assessment officer of a county that
8 is subject to this Section shall establish rules that specify
9 the manner of submission of income and expense data and

1 income and expense data, or fails to adequately explain why no
2 submission is required, the taxpayer or obligated party shall
3 pay a penalty to the chief county assessment officer of 0.025%
4 of the prior year's market value as indicated by the most
5 recent certified assessed value for the property at issue, but
6 in no case shall the taxpayer or obligated party be required to
7 pay more than its proportional share of a maximum penalty of
8 $10,000 per property. A taxpayer or obligated party who fails
9 to submit income and expense data in accordance with this
10 provision shall only be required to pay a penalty on the
11 portion of the property's value for which the taxpayer or
12 obligated party is required to pay taxes.
13 A taxpayer or obligated party may contest the penalty and
14 requirement to report income and expense data in a particular
15 year and submit evidence to the chief county assessment
16 officer in support of a contention that the taxpayer or
17 obligated party was not required to submit income and expense
18 data, that another party was required to submit income and
19 expense data for such property, or that the submission of
20 income and expense data complies with this requirement based
21 on available documentation. The chief county assessment
22 officer shall review the taxpayer or obligated party's
23 submission and other submissions for the property for the tax
24 year at issue, and determine whether the taxpayer or obligated
25 party provided sufficient evidence that he or she was not
26 required to report income and expense data or that the

HB1827 - 10 - LRB104 03520 HLH 13543 b
1 submission complies based on available documentation.
2 If a taxpayer or obligated party is dissatisfied with a
3 decision of the chief county assessment officer of the
4 requirement to submit income and expense data, the taxpayer or
5 obligated party may request review of that decision. Upon such
6 request, at least 30 days' notice shall be provided to the
7 taxpayer or obligated party of a hearing to be conducted by a
8 hearing officer designated by the chief county assessment
9 officer. If dissatisfied with a hearing officer's decision,
10 the taxpayer or obligated party may appeal such decision to
11 the circuit court of the county where the property is located
12 as a final administrative decision under the Administrative
13 Review Law. If a party is unsuccessful at the hearing, the
14 penalty imposed under this Section shall bear interest at
15 0.05% per month thereafter, beginning 21 days after the date
16 of decision, or 21 days after the date of the issuance of a
17 final decision on administrative review.
18 The State's Attorney of the county in which the property
19 is located shall have power to act on behalf of the People and
20 the chief county assessment officer to enforce the provisions
21 of this Section, including the power to compel by subpoena the
22 production of taxpayer income and expense data that is
23 required to be produced under this Section.
24 The chief county assessment officer may audit the income
25 and expense data submitted by taxpayers to verify its accuracy
26 by requesting documentation in support of submissions.

2 assessment officer under this Section for a taxpayer's or
3 obligated party's failure to timely submit income and expense
4 data shall be collected in the same manner as other fees
5 collected by the chief county assessment officer. Such revenue
6 shall be deposited with the county treasurer in the county
7 general fund of the county in which the property is located,
8 with 75% of the revenue to be used for the benefit of the
9 office of the chief county assessment officer and 25% to be
10 used for the benefit of the county.
11 (f) Any personal data such as federal identification or
12 social security numbers and income tax forms or data that are
13 included in income and expense data produced under this
14 Section shall be deemed private information and exempt from
15 disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Income and
16 expense data submitted pursuant to this Article shall not be
17 subject to disclosure by the chief county assessment officer
18 in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and other
19 applicable law, or pursuant to court order in a tax or other
20 matter. Nothing in this Section prohibits a chief county
21 assessment officer from disclosing compiled and anonymized
22 income and expense data as provided in this Section.
23 (g) The income and expense data submitted pursuant to this
24 Section shall be processed and used as follows:

1 question is identified shall not be used for purposes of
2 assessing individual properties. The chief county
3 assessment officer shall compile and anonymize income and
4 expense data that is collected under this Division and
5 shall cause such information to be published annually.
6 Compiled and anonymized data may be used in the mass
7 appraisal or assessment of property.
8 The chief county assessment officer shall cause the
9 income and expense data to be compiled and anonymized in
10 accordance with statistical disclosure controls accepted
11 in the field that account for control of microdata and
12 quantitative and frequency tables in a manner that
13 considers individual property characteristics but prevents
14 the disclosure of individual property identity. Such
15 compilation and anonymization shall be performed by staff
16 who are not directly involved in the valuation of the type
17 of property for which the data has been submitted. The
18 chief county assessment officer shall publish the
19 procedures followed in compiling and anonymizing data.
20 (2) If a particular property is so unique in
21 characteristics, features, or location that the property
22 or its owner could be identified if the property's income
23 and expense data are included in compiled and anonymized
24 data that is made available to the public, township
25 assessors, or boards of review under this Section, the
26 income and expense data for that particular property shall

2 (3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
3 Section, the taxpayer or obligated party of any property
4 for which income and expense data has been submitted shall
5 have the right at all times to: (i) obtain a copy of such
6 income and expense data as submitted, in its original
7 form, from the chief county assessment officer; (ii) file
8 such income and expense data in any public forum; or (iii)
9 authorize such filing or publication of the income and
10 expense data in any other manner that the owner may
11 choose.
12 The chief county assessment officer shall establish
13 and maintain reasonable security measures consistent with
14 State and local law and the Federal Information Security
15 Management Act to protect income and expense data.
16 (h) All information received by the chief county
17 assessment officer from income and expense data filed under
18 this Article shall be used only for official purposes. Any
19 person who divulges income and expense data submitted under
20 this Article other than as permitted in this Article, in
21 accordance with a proper judicial order, or as otherwise
22 provided by law, shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor and
23 subject to a fine not to exceed $7,500.
