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 through affordable public
89	89	23 transportation.
90	90	24 (5) Public transportation in the metropolitan region
91	91	25 is being threatened by grave financial conditions. With
92	92	26 existing methods of financing, coordination, structure,

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

139	139	1 effectively oversee the public transportation system.
140	140	2 (9) A substantial or total loss of public
141	141	3 transportation services or any segment of public
142	142	4 transportation services would create an emergency
143	143	5 threatening the safety and well-being of the people in the
144	144	6 metropolitan region.
145	145	7 (10) To meet the urgent needs of the people of the
146	146	8 metropolitan region, avoid a transportation emergency, and
147	147	9 provide financially sound methods of managing the
148	148	10 provision of public transportation services in the
149	149	11 metropolitan region, it is necessary to create one truly
150	150	12 integrated regional transit system instead of 3 separate
151	151	13 transit systems by combining the existing Service Boards
152	152	14 and Regional Transportation Authority into one agency.
153	153	15 (11) The economic vitality of Illinois requires
154	154	16 regionwide and systemwide efforts to increase ridership on
155	155	17 the transit systems, improve roadway operations within the
156	156	18 metropolitan region, and allocate resources for
157	157	19 transportation so as to assist in the development of an
158	158	20 adequate, efficient, equitable, and coordinated regional
159	159	21 public transportation system that is in a state of good
160	160	22 repair.
161	161	23 (b) It is the purpose of this Act to provide for, aid, and
162	162	24 assist public transportation in the metropolitan region
163	163	25 without impairing the overall quality of existing public
164	164	26 transportation by providing for the creation of a single

1671	1671	15 unless the Authority with respect to an individual
1672	1672	16 solicitation determines that a specified number
1673	1673	17 greater than 5 is in the best interest of the Authority

2049	2049	4 fact-finder who shall be selected by the parties pursuant to
2050	2050	5 the rules of the American Arbitration Association from a
2051	2051	6 current listing of members of the National Academy of
2052	2052	7 Arbitrators supplied by the American Arbitration Association.

2061	2061	16 recommendations, or, in cases where neither party requests
2062	2062	17 fact-finding, the Authority shall offer to submit the dispute

2136	2136	20 business enterprises relative to all businesses ready,
2137	2137	21 willing, and able to participate in the program's contracts.

2208	2208	22 purposes and powers under this Act, the Authority shall seek
2209	2209	23 to reduce environmental disruption and pollution arising from
2210	2210	24 all forms of transportation of persons within the metropolitan

2222	2222	1 responsibilities for determining how to minimize such
2223	2223	2 disruption and pollution.
2224	2224	3 (b) In recognition of the fact that the transportation
2225	2225	4 sector accounts for approximately a third of the greenhouse
2226	2226	5 gases generated in the State and that public transportation
2227	2227	6 moves people with fewer such emissions, the Authority shall
2228	2228	7 work cooperatively with the Department of Transportation, the
2229	2229	8 Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, the Chicago
2230	2230	9 Metropolitan Agency for Planning, and other units of
2231	2231	10 government to assist them in using investments in public
2232	2232	11 transportation facilities and operations as a tool to help
2233	2233	12 them meet their greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. To
2234	2234	13 the maximum extent allowed by law, the Authority is eligible
2235	2235	14 to receive funding and other assistance from local, state, and
2236	2236	15 federal sources so the Authority can assist in using improved
2237	2237	16 and expanded public transportation in the metropolitan region
2238	2238	17 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution
2239	2239	18 generated by the transportation sector.
2240	2240	19 (c) Subject to all applicable laws, the Authority may
2241	2241	20 participate in market-based environmental remediation
2242	2242	21 programs, including, but not limited to, carbon emissions
2243	2243	22 markets, through which the Authority can realize revenue
2244	2244	23 reflecting the value of greenhouse gas emissions reductions it
2245	2245	24 delivers through public transportation services in the
2246	2246	25 metropolitan region.

3530	3530	2 (a) The Authority shall adopt Service Standards in
3531	3531	3 conjunction with its Strategic Plan and Five-Year Capital
3532	3532	4 Program.
3533	3533	5 (b) The Service Standards shall identify quantitative and
3534	3534	6 qualitative attributes of quality public transit service using
3535	3535	7 metrics drawn from the performance of high-quality transit
3536	3536	8 systems in global metropolitan areas with comparable
3537	3537	9 populations and metropolitan economies as the metropolitan
3538	3538	10 region.
3539	3539	11 (c) The Service Standards shall include a framework that
3540	3540	12 describes the appropriate characteristics for each type of
3541	3541	13 service or mode. These characteristics include, but are not
3542	3542	14 limited to, mode, frequency, time span, vehicle type, stop
3543	3543	15 spacing, vehicle and stop amenities, network connectivity,
3544	3544	16 route directness, route deviation, and coverage of service.
3545	3545	17 (d) The Service Standards shall include the transition of
3546	3546	18 commuter rail in the metropolitan region to a regional rail
3547	3547	19 service pattern or the retention of commuter rail with
3548	3548	20 additional regional rail service.
3549	3549	21 (e) The Service Standards shall cover the entire
3550	3550	22 metropolitan region and include the development of transit
3551	3551	23 propensity thresholds for each type of service or mode.
3552	3552	24 Transit propensity metrics shall include, but are not limited

3565	3565	2 intersection density, and the presence of sidewalks. The
3566	3566	3 Authority shall develop weights for each metric and a scoring
3567	3567	4 system to determine transit propensity. The production of a
3568	3568	5 transit propensity assessment shall be conducted for any
3569	3569	6 proposed new or modified services and constrained to a service
3570	3570	7 or route estimated catchment area. Final determination of the
3571	3571	8 eligibility of each type of service or mode for an area is
3572	3572	9 subject to qualitative review by the Authority once the
3573	3573	10 propensity assessment is completed, reviewed, and evaluated.
3574	3574	11 (f) A local government or group of local governments may
3575	3575	12 petition the Authority to increase the level of transit
3576	3576	13 service provided above what would otherwise be provided
3577	3577	14 through the Service Standards. If a local government or group
3578	3578	15 of local governments demonstrates that the local government or
3579	3579	16 group of local governments have created a transit support
3580	3580	17 overlay district under the Transit-Supportive Development Act
3581	3581	18 or have adopted zoning and other changes that the Authority
3582	3582	19 determines has benefits to the transit system greater than or
3583	3583	20 equal to a transit support overlay district, the Authority
3584	3584	21 shall designate a preliminary amendment to the applicable
3585	3585	22 Service Standards for that area commensurate with the expected
3586	3586	23 increase in transit propensity. The Authority shall determine
3587	3587	24 the incremental cost of providing the service and present it
3588	3588	25 to the local government or group of local governments. Upon

3607	3607	8 Development, the Office of Equitable Transit-Oriented
3608	3608	9 Development shall provide a 50% cost share to the Authority
3609	3609	10 for the increased transit service associated with the Service
3610	3610	11 Standards amendment. The Authority may develop plans to assist

3612	3612	13 service could be provided through the mechanism described in
3613	3613	14 this subsection.
3614	3614	15 (g) The Service Standards shall be adjusted as appropriate
3615	3615	16 to accommodate the addition of modes of public transportation

4171	4171	6 (b) The Authority is designated the primary public body in
4172	4172	7 the metropolitan region with authority to apply for and

4177	4177	12 or transportation agency may apply for and receive any such
4178	4178	13 federal or state capital grants, loans or other funds. A unit
4179	4179	14 of local government or transportation agency shall notify the

4213	4213	13 of selling retail motor fuel for operation of motor vehicles
4214	4214	14 upon public highways. The tax shall be at a rate not to exceed
4215	4215	15 5% of the gross receipts from the sales of motor fuel in the
4216	4216	16 course of the business. The Board may provide details of the

4218	4218	18 be practicable, to the provisions of the Non-Home Rule
4219	4219	19 Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, including, without
4220	4220	20 limitation, conformity to penalties with respect to the tax
4221	4221	21 imposed and as to the powers of the Department of Revenue to

4255	4255	19 no responsibility for the collection and enforcement unless
4256	4256	20 the Department agrees with the Authority to undertake the
4257	4257	21 collection and enforcement. As used in this subsection,

4274	4274	2 (e) The Board may impose a Metropolitan Mobility Authority
4275	4275	3 Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in the
4276	4276	4 business of selling tangible personal property at retail in
4277	4277	5 the metropolitan region. In Cook County, the tax rate shall be
4278	4278	6 1.25% of the gross receipts from sales of tangible personal
4279	4279	7 property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation
4280	4280	8 Tax Act and 1% of the gross receipts from other taxable sales
4281	4281	9 made in the course of that business. In DuPage, Kane, Lake,
4282	4282	10 McHenry, and Will counties, the tax rate shall be 0.75% of the
4283	4283	11 gross receipts from all taxable sales made in the course of
4284	4284	12 that business. However, the rate of tax imposed in DuPage,
4285	4285	13 Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties under this Section on
4286	4286	14 sales of aviation fuel shall be 0.25% unless the Authority in
4287	4287	15 DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties has an
4288	4288	16 airport-related purpose and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75%
4289	4289	17 tax on aviation fuel is expended for airport-related purposes.
4290	4290	18 If there is no airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel
4291	4291	19 tax revenue is dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from
4292	4292	20 the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax. The tax imposed under
4293	4293	21 this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
4294	4294	22 incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
4295	4295	23 Department of Revenue. The Department has full power to
4296	4296	24 administer and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and
4297	4297	25 penalties so collected in the manner provided in this

4363	4363	19 (j) For the purpose of determining whether a tax
4364	4364	20 authorized under this Section is applicable, a retail sale by
4365	4365	21 a producer of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale
4366	4366	22 at retail at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in

4384	4384	4 resident of another state if that motor vehicle will not be
4385	4385	5 titled in this State.
4386	4386	6 (l) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to

4388	4388	8 engaging in any business that under the United States
4389	4389	9 Constitution may not be made the subject of taxation by this
4390	4390	10 State.

4421	4421	5 the selling price of all tangible personal property
4422	4422	6 transferred. However, the rate of tax imposed in DuPage, Kane,
4423	4423	7 Lake, McHenry, and Will counties under this Section on sales
4424	4424	8 of aviation fuel shall be 0.25% unless the Authority in
4425	4425	9 DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties has an
4426	4426	10 airport-related purpose and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75%

4431	4431	15 (n) The tax imposed under subsection (m) and all civil
4432	4432	16 penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
4433	4433	17 collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
4434	4434	18 Department has full power to administer and enforce subsection
4435	4435	19 (m); to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to

4492	4492	4 should be made under subsection (m) to a claimant instead of
4493	4493	5 issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the
4494	4494	6 State Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for
4495	4495	7 the amount specified, and to the person named in the
4496	4496	8 notification from the Department. The State Treasurer shall
4497	4497	9 pay the refund out of the Metropolitan Mobility Authority
4498	4498	10 Occupation and Use Tax Replacement Fund established under
4499	4499	11 subsection (cc) or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund,

4501	4501	13 (q) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to

4503	4503	15 engaging in any business that under the Constitution of the
4504	4504	16 United States may not be made the subject of taxation by the
4505	4505	17 State.

4529	4529	5 metropolitan region. The tax shall be collected by the
4530	4530	6 Department of Revenue for the Authority. The tax must be paid
4531	4531	7 to the State, or an exemption determination must be obtained
4532	4532	8 from the Department of Revenue before the title or certificate
4533	4533	9 of registration for the property may be issued. The tax or
4534	4534	10 proof of exemption may be transmitted to the Department by way
4535	4535	11 of the State agency with which, or the State officer with whom,
4536	4536	12 the tangible personal property must be titled or registered if
4537	4537	13 the Department and the State agency or State officer determine
4538	4538	14 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
4539	4539	15 applications for title or registration.

4609	4609	13 collected under this Section during the second preceding
4610	4610	14 calendar month by the Department, less any amount determined

11457	11457	7 tax or penalty or interest has been paid which was not due
11458	11458	8 under this Act, whether as the result of a mistake of fact or

11606	11606	14 Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund or from such appropriation
11607	11607	15 as may be available for that purpose, as appropriate. If it

11716	11716	18 (3) On August 26, 1998, the Cook County Circuit Court
11717	11717	19 entered an order in the case of Oak Park Arms Associates v.
11718	11718	20 Whitley (No. 92 L 51045), in which it found that Public Act
11719	11719	21 85-1135 violates the single subject clause of the Illinois
11720	11720	22 Constitution (Article IV, Section 8(d)). As of the time
11721	11721	23 this Act was prepared, the order declaring P.A. 85-1135
11722	11722	24 invalid has been vacated but the case is subject to
11723	11723	25 appeal.
11724	11724	26 (4) The tax provisions of Public Act 85-1135 affect

11735	11735	1 many areas of vital concern to the people of this State.
11736	11736	2 The disruption of the tax reform contained in those
11737	11737	3 provisions could constitute a grave threat to the
11738	11738	4 continued health, safety, and welfare of the people of
11739	11739	5 this State.
11740	11740	6 (b) It is the purpose of this Act to prevent or minimize
11741	11741	7 any problems relating to taxation that may result from
11742	11742	8 challenges to the constitutional validity of Public Act
11743	11743	9 85-1135, by (1) re-enacting provisions from Public Act 85-1135
11744	11744	10 and (2) validating all actions taken in reliance on those
11745	11745	11 provisions from Public Act 85-1135.
11746	11746	12 (c) Because Public Act 86-962, effective January 1, 1990,
11747	11747	13 renumbered Sections 24a-1, 24a-2, 24a-3, 24a-4, and 25.05 of
11748	11748	14 the Counties Code, this Act contains those provisions as
11749	11749	15 renumbered under Sections 5-1006, 5-1007, 5-1008, 5-1009, and
11750	11750	16 5-1024 of the Counties Code. Because Public Act 86-1475,
11751	11751	17 effective January 10, 1991, resectioned Section 3 of the Use
11752	11752	18 Tax Act, Section 3 of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 3 of the
11753	11753	19 Service Occupation Tax Act, and Section 2 of the Retailers'

11774	11774	4 February 1, 1989, renumbered Section 6z-16 of the State
11775	11775	5 Finance Act and Section .01 of the State Revenue Sharing Act,
11776	11776	6 this Act contains those provisions as renumbered under Section
11777	11777	7 6z-18 of the State Finance Act and Section 0.1 of the State
11778	11778	8 Revenue Sharing Act. Sections 10b of the Use Tax Act, 10b of
11779	11779	9 the Service Use Tax Act, 20.1 of the Service Occupation Tax
11780	11780	10 Act, and 6d of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act have been
11781	11781	11 omitted from this Act because they were repealed by Public Act
11782	11782	12 87-1258, effective January 7, 1993.

12659	12659	2 declines below 60% in any year prior to 2040, the Board of
12660	12660	3 Trustees shall also determine the increased contribution
12661	12661	4 required each year as a level percentage of payroll during the
12662	12662	5 years after the then current year using the projected unit
12663	12663	6 credit actuarial cost method so the funded ratio is projected
12664	12664	7 to reach at least 60% no later than 10 years after the then
12665	12665	8 current year and include that determination in its report.
12666	12666	9 Within 60 days after receiving the report, the Auditor General
12667	12667	10 shall review the determination and the assumptions on which it
12668	12668	11 is based, and if he finds that the determination and the
12669	12669	12 assumptions on which it is based are unreasonable in the
12670	12670	13 aggregate, he shall issue a new determination of the funded
12671	12671	14 ratio, the assumptions on which it is based and the increased
12672	12672	15 contribution required each year as a level percentage of
12673	12673	16 payroll over the years remaining until 2040 using the
12674	12674	17 projected unit credit actuarial cost method so the funded
12675	12675	18 ratio does not decline below 60%, or, in the event of an actual
12676	12676	19 decline below 60%, so the funded ratio is projected to reach
12677	12677	20 60% by no later than 10 years after the then current year. If
12678	12678	21 the Board of Trustees or the Auditor General determine that an
12679	12679	22 increased contribution is required to meet the funded ratio
12680	12680	23 required by the subsection, effective January 1 following the

12682	12682	25 is later, one-third of the increased contribution shall be

12695	12695	2 subsection (1).
12696	12696	3 (4) For the period beginning 2040, the minimum
12697	12697	4 contribution to the Retirement Plan for each fiscal year shall
12698	12698	5 be an amount determined by the Board of Trustees of the
12699	12699	6 Retirement Plan to be sufficient to bring the total assets of
12700	12700	7 the Retirement Plan up to 90% of its total actuarial
12701	12701	8 liabilities by the end of 2059. Participating employees shall
12702	12702	9 be responsible for one-third of the required contribution and
12703	12703	10 the Authority shall be responsible for two-thirds of the
12704	12704	11 required contribution. In making these determinations, the
12705	12705	12 Board of Trustees shall calculate the required contribution
12706	12706	13 each year as a level percentage of payroll over the years
12707	12707	14 remaining to and including fiscal year 2059 using the
12708	12708	15 projected unit credit actuarial cost method. A report
12709	12709	16 containing that determination and the actuarial assumptions on
12710	12710	17 which it is based shall be filed by September 15 of each year
12711	12711	18 with the Authority, the representatives of its participating
12712	12712	19 employees, the Auditor General of the State of Illinois and
12713	12713	20 the Metropolitan Mobility Regional Transportation Authority.
12714	12714	21 If the funded ratio is projected to fail to reach 90% by
12715	12715	22 December 31, 2059, the Board of Trustees shall also determine
12716	12716	23 the increased contribution required each year as a level
12717	12717	24 percentage of payroll over the years remaining until December
12718	12718	25 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method
12719	12719	26 so the funded ratio will meet 90% by December 31, 2059 and

12730	12730	1 include that determination in its report. Within 60 days after
12731	12731	2 receiving the report, the Auditor General shall review the
12732	12732	3 determination and the assumptions on which it is based and if
12733	12733	4 he finds that the determination and the assumptions on which
12734	12734	5 it is based are unreasonable in the aggregate, he shall issue a
12735	12735	6 new determination of the funded ratio, the assumptions on
12736	12736	7 which it is based and the increased contribution required each
12737	12737	8 year as a level percentage of payroll over the years remaining
12738	12738	9 until December 31, 2059 using the projected unit credit
12739	12739	10 actuarial cost method so the funded ratio reaches no less than
12740	12740	11 90% by December 31, 2059. If the Board of Trustees or the
12741	12741	12 Auditor General determine that an increased contribution is
12742	12742	13 required to meet the funded ratio required by this subsection,
12743	12743	14 effective January 1 following the determination or 30 days
12744	12744	15 after such determination, whichever is later, one-third of the
12745	12745	16 increased contribution shall be paid by participating
12746	12746	17 employees and two-thirds by the Authority, in addition to the
12747	12747	18 contributions required by subsection (e)(1).
12748	12748	19 (5) Beginning in 2060, the minimum contribution for each
12749	12749	20 year shall be the amount needed to maintain the total assets of
12750	12750	21 the Retirement Plan at 90% of the total actuarial liabilities
12751	12751	22 of the Plan, and the contribution shall be funded two-thirds
12752	12752	23 by the Authority and one-third by the participating employees
12753	12753	24 in accordance with this subsection.
12754	12754	25 (f) The Authority shall take the steps necessary to comply

13170	13170	10 of not more than 10 years from each valuation date,

13174	13174	14 projected benefits expected to be paid to current and

13209	13209	13 assumptions stated in the report are not
13210	13210	14 unreasonable in the aggregate and that the plan of
13211	13211	15 increases in employee, retiree, dependent, or

13213	13213	17 levels, or other plan changes, or any combination
13214	13214	18 thereof, to be implemented over a period of not
13215	13215	19 more than 10 years from each valuation date, is

13435	13435	24 the contributing employers and the trustee of the affected

13452	13452	5 within 6 months of the date of determination that the plan is
13453	13453	6 under-funded, then the amortization schedule shall be based on
13454	13454	7 a period of 50 years.
13455	13455	8 In the case of an affected pension plan that has more than
13456	13456	9 one contributing employer, each contributing employer's share
13457	13457	10 of the total additional employer contributions required under
13458	13458	11 this subsection shall be determined: (i) in proportion to the
13459	13459	12 amounts, if any, by which the respective contributing
13460	13460	13 employers have failed to meet their contribution obligations
13461	13461	14 under the terms of the affected pension plan; or (ii) if all of

13463	13463	16 obligations under the terms of the affected pension plan, then
13464	13464	17 in the same proportion as they are required to contribute

13466	13466	19 pension plan that has only one contributing employer, that
13467	13467	20 contributing employer is responsible for all of the additional
13468	13468	21 employer contributions required under this subsection.
13469	13469	22 If an under-funded pension plan is determined to have
13470	13470	23 achieved a funding ratio of at least 90% during the period when
13471	13471	24 an amortization schedule is in force under this Section, the

13664	13664	8 (a) For any redevelopment project area that has been
13665	13665	9 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted

13696	13696	5 condition analysis determines that major repair is
13697	13697	6 required or the defects are so serious and so
13698	13698	7 extensive that the buildings must be removed.
13699	13699	8 (B) Obsolescence. The condition or process of
13700	13700	9 falling into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited

13772	13772	9 over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
13773	13773	10 buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
13774	13774	11 Examples of problem conditions warranting the
13775	13775	12 designation of an area as one exhibiting excessive
13776	13776	13 land coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings
13777	13777	14 either improperly situated on parcels or located on
13778	13778	15 parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
13779	13779	16 present-day standards of development for health and
13780	13780	17 safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings on
13781	13781	18 a single parcel. For there to be a finding of excessive
13782	13782	19 land coverage, these parcels must exhibit one or more
13783	13783	20 of the following conditions: insufficient provision
13784	13784	21 for light and air within or around buildings,
13785	13785	22 increased threat of spread of fire due to the close

13800	13800	1 (J) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence
13801	13801	2 of incompatible land-use relationships, buildings
13802	13802	3 occupied by inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses
13803	13803	4 considered to be noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for
13804	13804	5 the surrounding area.
13805	13805	6 (K) Environmental clean-up. The proposed
13806	13806	7 redevelopment project area has incurred Illinois
13807	13807	8 Environmental Protection Agency or United States
13808	13808	9 Environmental Protection Agency remediation costs for,
13809	13809	10 or a study conducted by an independent consultant
13810	13810	11 recognized as having expertise in environmental
13811	13811	12 remediation has determined a need for, the clean-up of
13812	13812	13 hazardous waste, hazardous substances, or underground
13813	13813	14 storage tanks required by State or federal law,
13814	13814	15 provided that the remediation costs constitute a
13815	13815	16 material impediment to the development or
13816	13816	17 redevelopment of the redevelopment project area.
13817	13817	18 (L) Lack of community planning. The proposed
13818	13818	19 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
13819	13819	20 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan.
13820	13820	21 This means that the development occurred prior to the
13821	13821	22 adoption by the municipality of a comprehensive or
13822	13822	23 other community plan or that the plan was not followed
13823	13823	24 at the time of the area's development. This factor

13924	13924	17 (3) If vacant, the sound growth of the redevelopment
13925	13925	18 project area is impaired by one of the following factors
13926	13926	19 that (i) is present, with that presence documented, to a

13948	13948	5 property in the area as certified by a registered
13949	13949	6 professional engineer or appropriate regulatory agency
13950	13950	7 or (ii) surface water that discharges from all or a
13951	13951	8 part of the area and contributes to flooding within
13952	13952	9 the same watershed, but only if the redevelopment
13953	13953	10 project provides for facilities or improvements to
13954	13954	11 contribute to the alleviation of all or part of the
13955	13955	12 flooding.
13956	13956	13 (D) The area consists of an unused or illegal
13957	13957	14 disposal site containing earth, stone, building

13961	13961	18 than 50 nor more than 100 acres and 75% of which is
13962	13962	19 vacant (notwithstanding that the area has been used
13963	13963	20 for commercial agricultural purposes within 5 years
13964	13964	21 prior to the designation of the redevelopment project
13965	13965	22 area), and the area meets at least one of the factors

13983	13983	4 been substantial private investment in the immediately
13984	13984	5 surrounding area.
13985	13985	6 (b) For any redevelopment project area that has been
13986	13986	7 designated pursuant to this Section by an ordinance adopted
13987	13987	8 prior to November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
13988	13988	9 91-478), "conservation area" shall have the meaning set forth
13989	13989	10 in this Section prior to that date.
13990	13990	11 On and after November 1, 1999, "conservation area" means
13991	13991	12 any improved area within the boundaries of a redevelopment
13992	13992	13 project area located within the territorial limits of the
13993	13993	14 municipality in which 50% or more of the structures in the area
13994	13994	15 have an age of 35 years or more. Such an area is not yet a
13995	13995	16 blighted area but because of a combination of 3 or more of the
13996	13996	17 following factors is detrimental to the public safety, health,
13997	13997	18 morals or welfare and such an area may become a blighted area:
13998	13998	19 (1) Dilapidation. An advanced state of disrepair or
13999	13999	20 neglect of necessary repairs to the primary structural
14000	14000	21 components of buildings or improvements in such a
14001	14001	22 combination that a documented building condition analysis
14002	14002	23 determines that major repair is required or the defects
14003	14003	24 are so serious and so extensive that the buildings must be
14004	14004	25 removed.
14005	14005	26 (2) Obsolescence. The condition or process of falling

14016	14016	1 into disuse. Structures have become ill-suited for the
14017	14017	2 original use.
14018	14018	3 (3) Deterioration. With respect to buildings, defects
14019	14019	4 including, but not limited to, major defects in the
14020	14020	5 secondary building components such as doors, windows,
14021	14021	6 porches, gutters and downspouts, and fascia. With respect
14022	14022	7 to surface improvements, that the condition of roadways,
14023	14023	8 alleys, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, off-street parking, and
14024	14024	9 surface storage areas evidence deterioration, including,
14025	14025	10 but not limited to, surface cracking, crumbling, potholes,
14026	14026	11 depressions, loose paving material, and weeds protruding
14027	14027	12 through paved surfaces.
14028	14028	13 (4) Presence of structures below minimum code
14029	14029	14 standards. All structures that do not meet the standards
14030	14030	15 of zoning, subdivision, building, fire, and other
14031	14031	16 governmental codes applicable to property, but not
14032	14032	17 including housing and property maintenance codes.
14033	14033	18 (5) Illegal use of individual structures. The use of
14034	14034	19 structures in violation of applicable federal, State, or
14035	14035	20 local laws, exclusive of those applicable to the presence
14036	14036	21 of structures below minimum code standards.
14037	14037	22 (6) Excessive vacancies. The presence of buildings
14038	14038	23 that are unoccupied or under-utilized and that represent
14039	14039	24 an adverse influence on the area because of the frequency,
14040	14040	25 extent, or duration of the vacancies.
14041	14041	26 (7) Lack of ventilation, light, or sanitary

14052	14052	1 facilities. The absence of adequate ventilation for light
14053	14053	2 or air circulation in spaces or rooms without windows, or
14054	14054	3 that require the removal of dust, odor, gas, smoke, or
14055	14055	4 other noxious airborne materials. Inadequate natural light
14056	14056	5 and ventilation means the absence or inadequacy of
14057	14057	6 skylights or windows for interior spaces or rooms and
14058	14058	7 improper window sizes and amounts by room area to window
14059	14059	8 area ratios. Inadequate sanitary facilities refers to the
14060	14060	9 absence or inadequacy of garbage storage and enclosure,
14061	14061	10 bathroom facilities, hot water and kitchens, and
14062	14062	11 structural inadequacies preventing ingress and egress to
14063	14063	12 and from all rooms and units within a building.
14064	14064	13 (8) Inadequate utilities. Underground and overhead
14065	14065	14 utilities such as storm sewers and storm drainage,
14066	14066	15 sanitary sewers, water lines, and gas, telephone, and
14067	14067	16 electrical services that are shown to be inadequate.
14068	14068	17 Inadequate utilities are those that are: (i) of
14069	14069	18 insufficient capacity to serve the uses in the
14070	14070	19 redevelopment project area, (ii) deteriorated, antiquated,
14071	14071	20 obsolete, or in disrepair, or (iii) lacking within the
14072	14072	21 redevelopment project area.
14073	14073	22 (9) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
14074	14074	23 structures and community facilities. The over-intensive
14075	14075	24 use of property and the crowding of buildings and
14076	14076	25 accessory facilities onto a site. Examples of problem
14077	14077	26 conditions warranting the designation of an area as one

14088	14088	1 exhibiting excessive land coverage are: the presence of
14089	14089	2 buildings either improperly situated on parcels or located
14090	14090	3 on parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
14091	14091	4 present-day standards of development for health and safety
14092	14092	5 and the presence of multiple buildings on a single parcel.
14093	14093	6 For there to be a finding of excessive land coverage,
14094	14094	7 these parcels must exhibit one or more of the following
14095	14095	8 conditions: insufficient provision for light and air
14096	14096	9 within or around buildings, increased threat of spread of
14097	14097	10 fire due to the close proximity of buildings, lack of
14098	14098	11 adequate or proper access to a public right-of-way, lack
14099	14099	12 of reasonably required off-street parking, or inadequate
14100	14100	13 provision for loading and service.
14101	14101	14 (10) Deleterious land use or layout. The existence of
14102	14102	15 incompatible land-use relationships, buildings occupied by
14103	14103	16 inappropriate mixed-uses, or uses considered to be
14104	14104	17 noxious, offensive, or unsuitable for the surrounding
14105	14105	18 area.
14106	14106	19 (11) Lack of community planning. The proposed
14107	14107	20 redevelopment project area was developed prior to or
14108	14108	21 without the benefit or guidance of a community plan. This
14109	14109	22 means that the development occurred prior to the adoption
14110	14110	23 by the municipality of a comprehensive or other community
14111	14111	24 plan or that the plan was not followed at the time of the
14112	14112	25 area's development. This factor must be documented by
14113	14113	26 evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use

14572	14572	17 (1) The municipality finds that the redevelopment
14573	14573	18 project area on the whole has not been subject to growth

14595	14595	4 regardless of when the redevelopment plan and project was
14596	14596	5 adopted, the redevelopment plan and project either: (i)
14597	14597	6 conforms to the strategic economic development or
14598	14598	7 redevelopment plan issued by the designated planning
14599	14599	8 authority of the municipality, or (ii) includes land uses
14600	14600	9 that have been approved by the planning commission of the
14601	14601	10 municipality.
14602	14602	11 (3) The redevelopment plan establishes the estimated
14603	14603	12 dates of completion of the redevelopment project and
14604	14604	13 retirement of obligations issued to finance redevelopment
14605	14605	14 project costs. Those dates may not be later than the dates

14630	14630	3 facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts
14631	14631	4 that extend into the redevelopment project area.
14632	14632	5 (4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
14633	14633	6 under Section 8(a)(1) or 8(a)(2) of this Act in
14634	14634	7 redevelopment project areas approved by ordinance after
14635	14635	8 January 1, 1986, the municipality finds: (a) that the
14636	14636	9 redevelopment project area would not reasonably be
14637	14637	10 developed without the use of such incremental revenues,
14638	14638	11 and (b) that such incremental revenues will be exclusively
14639	14639	12 utilized for the development of the redevelopment project
14640	14640	13 area.
14641	14641	14 (5) If: (a) the redevelopment plan will not result in
14642	14642	15 displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
14643	14643	16 residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
14644	14644	17 plan that such displacement will not result from the plan;
14645	14645	18 or (b) the redevelopment plan is for a redevelopment
14646	14646	19 project area or a qualifying transit facility located
14647	14647	20 within a transit facility improvement area established
14648	14648	21 pursuant to Section 11-74.4-3.3, and the applicable

16287	16287	16 at retail at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in

16289	16289	18 apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped
16290	16290	19 by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so

16318	16318	11 as an incident to making the sales of service, transfer
16319	16319	12 tangible personal property within the territory. The tax rate
16320	16320	13 shall be 1/4% of the selling price of tangible personal
16321	16321	14 property so transferred within the territory. Beginning
16322	16322	15 January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
16323	16323	16 fuel for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.

16639	16639	10 of calculating the real equalized assessed valuation for a
16640	16640	11 State-authorized charter school whose resident district is not
16641	16641	12 a school district organized under Article 34 of this Code, the
16642	16642	13 State Board of Education shall calculate the average of the
16643	16643	14 number of students in grades kindergarten through 12 reported
16644	16644	15 as enrolled in the charter school in the State Board's Student
16645	16645	16 Information System on October 1 and March 1 of the immediately

16648	16648	19 through 12 reported as enrolled in the charter school's
16649	16649	20 resident district on October 1 and March 1 of the immediately

16674	16674	9 partial elementary unit district formed pursuant to Article
16675	16675	10 11E shall have a Transportation Fund tax rate of at least .12%.
16676	16676	11 The Transportation Fund tax rate for a partial elementary unit

16685	16685	20 Transportation Fund tax rate from .12% and multiplying that
16686	16686	21 amount by the district's real equalized assessed valuation as

16707	16707	6 manner as a school district.
16708	16708	7 The minimum amount to be received by a district is $16

16710	16710	9 When calculating the reimbursement for transportation
16711	16711	10 costs, the State Board of Education may not deduct the number

16713	16713	12 of pupils eligible for reimbursement if the pupils enrolled in

17516	17516	5 (1) Obstruction of crossings.
17517	17517	6 (a) Obstruction of emergency vehicles. Every railroad
17518	17518	7 shall be operated in such a manner as to minimize
17519	17519	8 obstruction of emergency vehicles at crossings. Where such
17520	17520	9 obstruction occurs and the train crew is aware of the
17521	17521	10 obstruction, the train crew shall immediately take any
17522	17522	11 action, consistent with safe operating procedure,
17523	17523	12 necessary to remove the obstruction. In the Chicago and

17554	17554	8 and 4:00 p.m. through 6:00 p.m. it is unlawful for a rail
17555	17555	9 carrier to permit any single train or railroad car to
17556	17556	10 obstruct public travel at a railroad-highway grade
17557	17557	11 crossing in excess of a total of 10 minutes during a
17558	17558	12 30-minute 30 minute period, except where the train or
17559	17559	13 railroad car cannot be moved by reason or circumstances
17560	17560	14 over which the rail carrier has no reasonable control.

17599	17599	17 kept on each locomotive, and shall cause the same to be
17600	17600	18 rung or sounded by the engineer or fireman, at the
17601	17601	19 distance of at least 1,320 feet, from the place where the
17602	17602	20 railroad crosses or intersects any public highway, and
17603	17603	21 shall be kept ringing or sounding until the highway is
17604	17604	22 reached; provided that at crossings where the Commission
17605	17605	23 shall by order direct, only after a hearing has been held
17606	17606	24 to determine the public is reasonably and sufficiently
17607	17607	25 protected, the rail carrier may be excused from giving

17621	17621	3 whistle or horn do not apply at a railroad crossing that
17622	17622	4 has a permanently installed automated audible warning
17623	17623	5 device authorized by the Commission under Section
17624	17624	6 18c-7402.1 that sounds automatically when an approaching
17625	17625	7 train is at least 1,320 feet from the crossing and that
17626	17626	8 keeps sounding until the lead locomotive has crossed the
17627	17627	9 highway. The engineer or fireman may ring the bell or
17628	17628	10 sound the whistle or horn at a railroad crossing that has a
17629	17629	11 permanently installed audible warning device.
17630	17630	12 (b) Speed limits. Each rail carrier shall operate its
17631	17631	13 trains in compliance with speed limits set by the
17632	17632	14 Commission. The Commission may set train speed limits only
17633	17633	15 where such limits are necessitated by extraordinary
17634	17634	16 circumstances affecting the public safety, and shall
17635	17635	17 maintain such train speed limits in effect only for such
17636	17636	18 time as the extraordinary circumstances prevail.
17637	17637	19 The Commission and the Department of Transportation
17638	17638	20 shall conduct a study of the relation between train speeds
17639	17639	21 and railroad-highway grade crossing safety. The Commission
17640	17640	22 shall report the findings of the study to the General

17656	17656	2 Fox River Grove, the site of the fatal school bus crash at
17657	17657	3 a railroad crossing on October 25, 1995, in order to
17658	17658	4 improve railroad crossing safety. For this project, the
17659	17659	5 Commission is directed to set the maximum train speed
17660	17660	6 limit for Metropolitan Mobility Regional Transportation
17661	17661	7 Authority trains at 50 miles per hour at intersections on
17662	17662	8 that portion of the intrastate rail line located in the
17663	17663	9 Village of Fox River Grove. If the Metropolitan Mobility
17664	17664	10 Regional Transportation Authority deliberately fails to
17665	17665	11 comply with this maximum speed limit, then any entity,
17666	17666	12 governmental or otherwise, that provides capital or
17667	17667	13 operational funds to the Metropolitan Mobility Regional
17668	17668	14 Transportation Authority shall appropriately reduce or
17669	17669	15 eliminate that funding. The Commission shall report to the
17670	17670	16 Governor and the General Assembly on the results of this
17671	17671	17 pilot project in January 1999, January 2000, and January
17672	17672	18 2001. The Commission shall also submit a final report on
17673	17673	19 the pilot project to the Governor and the General Assembly
17674	17674	20 in January 2001. The provisions of this subsection (c),
17675	17675	21 other than this sentence, are inoperative after February
17676	17676	22 1, 2001.
