Sec. 11. Protection of public deposits; eligible collateral.
(a) For deposits not insured by an agency of the federal
government, the State Treasurer, in his discretion, may accept as
collateral any of the following classes of securities, provided there
has been no default in the payment of principal or interest thereon:
(1) Bonds, notes, or other securities constituting direct and
general obligations of the United States, the bonds, notes, or
other securities constituting the direct and general obligation of
any agency or instrumentality of the United States, the interest

executed by a company authorized to transact the kinds of business
described in clause (g) of Section 4 of the Illinois Insurance Code, in

maintain the capital to asset ratio required by this Section, such
certificate of deposit or share certificate shall be replaced by
additional suitable security.

Section 10. The Public Funds Deposit Act is amended by changing
Section 1 as follows:
(30 ILCS 225/1) (from Ch. 102, par. 34)
Sec. 1. Deposits. Any treasurer or other custodian of public funds
may deposit such funds in a savings and loan association, savings bank,
or State or national bank in this State. When such deposits become
collected funds and are not needed for immediate disbursement, they
shall be invested within 2 working days at prevailing rates or better.
The treasurer or other custodian of public funds may require such bank,
savings bank, or savings and loan association to deposit with him or
[May 8, 2002] 8
her securities guaranteed by agencies and instrumentalities of the
federal government equal in market value to the amount by which the
funds deposited exceed the federally insured amount. Any treasurer or
other custodian of public funds may accept as security for public funds
deposited in such bank, savings bank, or savings and loan association
any class of securities or other eligible collateral authorized by
subsection (a), (b), or (c) of Section 11 of the Deposit of State
Moneys Act (15 ILCS 520/11), by Section 11.1 of the Deposit of State
Moneys Act (15 ILCS 520/11.1), or by subsection (d) of Section 6 of
the Public Funds Investment Act (30 ILCS 235/6). Such treasurer or
other custodian is authorized to enter into an agreement with any such
bank, savings bank, or savings and loan association, with any federally
insured financial institution or trust company, or with any agency of
the U.S. government relating to the deposit of such securities. Any
such treasurer or other custodian shall be discharged from
responsibility for any funds for which securities are so deposited with
him or her, and the funds for which securities are so deposited shall
not be subject to any otherwise applicable limitation as to amount.
No bank, savings bank, or savings and loan association shall
receive public funds as permitted by this Section, unless it has
complied with the requirements established pursuant to Section 6 of the
Public Funds Investment Act.
(Source: P.A. 91-211, eff. 7-20-99.)
Section 15. The State Officers and Employees Money Disposition Act
is amended by changing Section 2c as follows:
(30 ILCS 230/2c) (from Ch. 127, par. 173a)
Sec. 2c. Every such officer, board, commission, commissioner,
department, institution, arm or agency is authorized to demand and
receive a bond and securities in amount and kind satisfactory to him
from any bank or savings and loan association in which moneys held by
such officer, board, commission, commissioner, department, institution,
arm or agency for or on behalf of the State of Illinois, may be on
deposit, such securities to be held by the officer, board, commission,
commissioner, department, institution, arm or agency for the period
that such moneys are so on deposit and then returned together with
interest, dividends and other accruals to the bank or savings and loan
association. The bond or undertaking and such securities shall be
conditioned for the return of the moneys deposited in conformity with
the terms of the deposit.
Whenever funds deposited with a bank or savings and loan
association exceed the amount of federal deposit insurance coverage, a
bond, or pledged securities, or other eligible collateral shall be
obtained. Only the types of securities or other eligible collateral
which the State Treasurer may, in his or her discretion, accept for
amounts not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation under Section 11 of
"An Act in relation to State moneys", approved June 28, 1919, as
amended, may be accepted as pledged securities. The market value of the
bond or pledged securities shall at all times be equal to or greater
than the uninsured portion of the deposit unless the funds deposited
are collateralized pursuant to a system established by the State
Treasurer to aggregate permissible securities received as collateral
from financial institutions in a collateral pool to secure State
deposits of the institutions that have pledged securities to the pool.
All securities deposited by a bank or savings and loan association
under the provisions of this Section shall remain the property of the
depositary and may be stamped by the depositary so as to indicate that
such securities are deposited as collateral. Should the bank or savings
and loan association fail or refuse to pay over the moneys, or any part
thereof, deposited with it, the officer, board, commission,
commissioner, department, institution, arm or agency may sell such
securities upon giving 5 days notice to the depositary of his intention
to so sell such securities. Such sale shall transfer absolute ownership
of the securities so sold to the vendee thereof. The surplus, if any,
over the amount due to the State and the expenses of the sale shall be
paid to the bank or savings and loan association. Actions may be
9 [May 8, 2002]
brought in the name of the People of the State of Illinois to enforce
the claims of the State with respect to any securities deposited by a
bank or savings and loan association.
No bank or savings and loan association shall receive public funds
as permitted by this Section, unless it has complied with the
requirements established pursuant to Section 6 of "An Act relating to
certain investments of public funds by public agencies", approved July
23, 1943, as now or hereafter amended.
(Source: P.A. 85-257.)

the corporate authorities of a public agency submitting a deposit with
copies of the last two sworn statements of resources and liabilities

Real Estate or to the Comptroller of the Currency. Each bank
designated as a depository for public funds shall, while acting as such
depository, furnish the corporate authorities of a public agency with a
copy of all statements of resources and liabilities which it is
required to furnish to the Commissioner of Banks and Real Estate or to
the Comptroller of the Currency; provided, that if such funds or moneys
are deposited in a bank, the amount of all such deposits not
collateralized or insured by an agency of the federal government shall
not exceed 75% of the capital stock and surplus of such bank, and the
corporate authorities of a public agency submitting a deposit shall not
be discharged from responsibility for any funds or moneys deposited in
any bank in excess of such limitation.
(b) No savings bank or savings and loan association shall receive
public funds unless it has furnished the corporate authorities of a
public agency submitting a deposit with copies of the last 2 sworn
statements of resources and liabilities which the savings bank or
savings and loan association is required to furnish to the Commissioner
of Banks and Real Estate or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Each savings bank or savings and loan association designated as a
depository for public funds shall, while acting as such depository,
furnish the corporate authorities of a public agency with a copy of all
statements of resources and liabilities which it is required to furnish
to the Commissioner of Banks and Real Estate or the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation; provided, that if such funds or moneys are
deposited in a savings bank or savings and loan association, the amount
of all such deposits not collateralized or insured by an agency of the
federal government shall not exceed 75% of the net worth of such
savings bank or savings and loan association as defined by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the corporate authorities of a
public agency submitting a deposit shall not be discharged from
responsibility for any funds or moneys deposited in any savings bank or
savings and loan association in excess of such limitation.
(c) No credit union shall receive public funds unless it has
furnished the corporate authorities of a public agency submitting a
share deposit with copies of the last two reports of examination
prepared by or submitted to the Illinois Department of Financial
Institutions or the National Credit Union Administration. Each credit
union designated as a depository for public funds shall, while acting
as such depository, furnish the corporate authorities of a public
agency with a copy of all reports of examination prepared by or
furnished to the Illinois Department of Financial Institutions or the
National Credit Union Administration; provided that if such funds or
moneys are invested in a credit union account, the amount of all such
investments not collateralized or insured by an agency of the federal
government or other approved share insurer shall not exceed 50% of the
unimpaired capital and surplus of such credit union, which shall
include shares, reserves and undivided earnings and the corporate
authorities of a public agency making an investment shall not be
discharged from responsibility for any funds or moneys invested in a
[May 8, 2002] 10
credit union in excess of such limitation.
(d) Whenever a public agency deposits any public funds in a
financial institution, the public agency may enter into an agreement
with the financial institution requiring any funds not insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union
Administration or other approved share insurer to be collateralized by
(i) securities, (ii) mortgages, (iii) letters of credit issued by a
Federal Home Loan Bank, (iv) any class of securities or other eligible

State Guaranty under the Illinois Farm Development Act, in an amount
equal to at least market value of that amount of funds deposited
exceeding the insurance limitation provided by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Administration or
other approved share insurer.

to the University of Illinois, Southern Illinois University, Chicago
State University, Eastern Illinois University, Governors State
University, Illinois State University, Northeastern Illinois

11 [May 8, 2002]
one member must be a member of the public who is not licensed under

with the profession. The initial appointees who would otherwise be
required to be licensed naprapaths shall instead be individuals who
have been practicing naprapathy for at least 5 years and who would be
eligible under this Act for licensure as naprapaths. Neither the
public member nor the physician member shall participate in the

licensure.
Members shall serve 4 year terms and until their successors are
appointed and qualified, except that of the initial appointments, 2
members shall be appointed to serve for 2 years, 2 shall be appointed
to serve for 3 years and the remaining members shall be appointed to
serve for 4 years and until their successors are appointed and
qualified. No member shall be reappointed to the Committee for a term
that would cause his or her continuous service on the Committee to be
longer than 8 consecutive years. Appointments to fill vacancies shall
be made in the same manner as original appointments, for the unexpired
portion of the vacated term. Initial terms shall begin upon the
effective date of this Act. Committee members in office on that date
shall be appointed to specific terms as indicated in this Section.
The Committee shall annually elect a chairman and a vice-chairman
who shall preside in the absence of the chairman.
The membership of the Committee should reasonably reflect
representation from the geographic areas in this State.
The Director may terminate the appointment of any member for cause.
The Director may give due consideration to all recommendations of
the Committee.
Without limiting the power of the Department to conduct
investigations in any manner, the Committee may recommend to the
Director that one or more licensed naprapaths be selected by the
Director to conduct or assist in any investigation under this Act. A
licensed naprapath so selected may receive remuneration as determined
by the Director.

All fees collected under this Act shall be deposited into the

(b) In addition to the application fee, An applicant for the

If the Department finds an individual unable to practice because of
the reasons set forth in this Section, the Department may require that
individual to submit to care, counseling, or treatment by physicians
approved or designated by the Department, as a condition, term, or
restriction for continued, reinstated, or renewed licensure to practice
15 [May 8, 2002]
or, in lieu of care, counseling, or treatment, the Department may file
a complaint to immediately suspend, revoke, or otherwise discipline the

Any person whose license was granted, continued, reinstated,
renewed, disciplined, or supervised subject to such terms, conditions,
or restrictions and who fails to comply with such terms, conditions, or
restrictions shall be referred to the Director for a determination as
to whether the person shall have his or her license suspended
immediately, pending a hearing by the Department.
In instances in which the Director immediately suspends a person's
license under this Section, a hearing on that person's license must be
convened by the Department within 15 days after the suspension and
completed without appreciable delay. The Department shall have the
authority to review the subject person's record of treatment and
counseling regarding the impairment, to the extent permitted by
applicable federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the
confidentiality of medical records.
A person licensed under this Act and affected under this Section
shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the Department that
he or she can resume practice in compliance with acceptable and
prevailing standards under the provisions of his or her license.

"Section 5. The Northeastern Illinois University Law is amended by
17 [May 8, 2002]
changing Section 25-15 as follows:
(110 ILCS 680/25-15)
Sec. 25-15. Membership; terms; vacancies. The Board shall consist
of 9 voting members who are residents of this State and are appointed
by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and
one voting member who is a student at Northeastern Illinois University.
The student member shall be elected by a campus-wide election of all
students of the University. The student member shall serve a term of
one year beginning on July 1 of each year, except that the student
member initially selected under this amendatory Act of the 91st General
Assembly shall serve a term beginning on the date of his or her
selection and expiring on the next succeeding June 30. A student
member may serve only for one term. To be eligible to remain as a
student member of the Board, the student member must be a resident of
this State, must have and maintain a grade point average that is
equivalent to at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale, and must be a full time
undergraduate student enrolled at all times during his or her term of
office except for that part of the term which follows the completion of
the last full regular semester of an academic year and precedes the
first full regular semester of the succeeding academic year at the
university (sometimes commonly referred to as the summer session or
summer school). If a student member serving on the Board fails to
continue to meet or maintain the residency, minimum grade point
average, or enrollment requirement established by this Section, his or
her membership on the Board shall be deemed to have terminated by
operation of law. If any member of the Board appointed by the Governor
fails to continue to meet or maintain the residency requirement
established by this Section, he or she shall resign membership on the
Board within 30 days thereafter and, failing submission of this
resignation, his or her membership on the Board shall be deemed to have
terminated by operation of law. Of the members first appointed by the
Governor, 4 shall be appointed for terms to expire on the third Monday
in January, 1999 and until their successors are appointed and
qualified, and 3 shall be appointed for terms to expire on the third
Monday in January, 2001 and until their successors are appointed and
qualified. The 2 additional members appointed by the Governor, by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate, under this amendatory Act of
the 91st General Assembly, shall not be from the same political party
and shall be appointed for terms to expire on the third Monday in
January, 2003 and until their successors are appointed and qualified.
Any vacancy in membership existing on January 1, 1999 shall be filled
by appointment by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the
Senate, for a term to expire on the third Monday in January, 2003. If
the Senate is not in session on the effective date of this Article, or
if a vacancy in an appointive membership occurs at a time when the
Senate is not in session, the Governor shall make temporary
appointments to fill the vacancy. Members with these temporary
appointments shall be deemed qualified to serve upon appointment and
shall continue to serve until the next meeting of the Senate when the
Governor shall appoint persons to fill such memberships, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate, for the remainder of their
respective terms. No more than 5 of the members appointed by the
Governor shall be affiliated with the same political party. Each
member appointed by the Governor must be a resident of this State. A
failure to meet or maintain this residency requirement constitutes a
resignation from and creates a vacancy in the Board. Upon the
expiration of the terms of members appointed by the Governor for other
than temporary appointments, their respective successors shall be
appointed, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for terms
of 6 years from the third Monday in January of each odd-numbered year.
Any members appointed to the Board shall continue to serve in such
capacity until their successors are appointed and qualified.

(10 ILCS 5/24A-9) (from Ch. 46, par. 24A-9)
Sec. 24A-9. Prior to the public test, the election authority shall
conduct an errorless pre-test of the automatic tabulating equipment and
program to ascertain that they will correctly count the votes cast for
all offices and all measures. On any day not less than 5 days prior to
the election day, the election authority shall publicly test the
automatic tabulating equipment and program to ascertain that they will
correctly count the votes cast for all offices and on all measures.
Public notice of the time and place of the test shall be given at least
48 hours prior thereto by publication once in one or more newspapers
published within the election jurisdiction of the election authority if
a newspaper is published therein, otherwise in a newspaper of general
circulation therein. Timely written notice stating the date, time and
location of the public test shall also be provided to the State Board
of Elections. The test shall be open to representatives of the
political parties, the press, representatives of the State Board of
Elections, and the public. The test shall be conducted by processing a
preaudited group of ballots so punched or marked as to record a
predetermined number of valid votes for each candidate and on each
measure, and shall include for each office one or more ballots which
have votes in excess of the number allowed by law in order to test the
ability of the automatic tabulating equipment to reject such votes.
Such test shall also include the use of precinct header cards or
[May 8, 2002] 28
precinct program memory medium and may include the production of an
edit listing. In those election jurisdictions where in-precinct
counting equipment is utilized, a public test of both such equipment
and program shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the manner
prescribed above. The State Board of Elections may select as many
election jurisdictions as the Board deems advisable in the interests of
the election process of this State in which to order a special test of
the automatic tabulating equipment and program prior to any regular
election. The Board may order a special test in any election
jurisdiction where, during the preceding twelve months, computer
programming errors or other errors in the use of electronic voting
systems resulted in vote tabulation errors. Not less than 30 days prior
to any election, the State Board of Elections shall provide written
notice to those selected jurisdictions of their intent to conduct a
test. Within 5 days of receipt of the State Board of Elections'
written notice of intent to conduct a test, the selected jurisdictions
shall forward to the principal office of the State Board of Elections a
copy of all specimen ballots. The State Board of Elections' tests shall
be conducted and completed not less than 2 days prior to the public
test utilizing testing materials supplied by the Board and under the
supervision of the Board, and the Board shall reimburse the election
authority for the reasonable cost of computer time required to conduct
the special test. After an errorless test, materials used in the
public test, including the program, if appropriate, shall be sealed and
remain so until the test is run again on election day. If any error is
detected, the cause therefor shall be ascertained and corrected and an
errorless public test shall be made before the automatic tabulating
equipment is approved. Each election authority shall file a sealed
copy of each tested program to be used within its jurisdiction at an
election with the State Board of Elections prior to the election. The
Board shall secure the program or programs of each election
jurisdiction so filed in its office for the 60 days following the
canvass and proclamation of election results. Upon the expiration of
that time, if no election contest or appeal therefrom is pending in an
election jurisdiction, the Board shall return the sealed program or
programs to the election authority of the jurisdiction. Except where
in-precinct counting equipment is utilized, the test shall be repeated
immediately before the start of the official count of the ballots, in
the same manner as set forth above. After the completion of the count,
the test shall be re-run using the same program. An election
jurisdiction that was employing, as of January 1, 1983, an electronic
voting system that, because of its design, is not technically capable
of compliance with such a post-tabulation testing requirement shall
satisfy the post-tabulation testing requirement by conducting the
post-tabulation test on a duplicate program until such electronic
voting system is replaced or until November 1, 1992, whichever is
earlier. Immediately thereafter the ballots, all material employed in
testing the program and the program shall be sealed and retained under
the custody of the election authority for a period of 60 days. At the
expiration of that time the election authority shall destroy the voted
ballot cards, together with all unused ballots returned from the
precincts. Provided, if any contest of election is pending at such time
in which such ballots may be required as evidence and such election
authority has notice thereof, the same shall not be destroyed until
after such contest is finally determined. If the use of back-up
equipment becomes necessary, the same testing required for the original
equipment shall be conducted.

of election shall turn on the automatic tabulating equipment,
activate the precinct program memory medium, and verify that the
public counter is set at zero.
(2) After the polls have been declared open, each ballot
shall be inserted into the automatic tabulating equipment by the
voter immediately after the voter has completed marking his or her
ballot and placing it in a security envelope or sleeve. The ballot
shall be inserted into the automatic tabulating equipment from
within the security envelope or sleeve without public observation
of the votes cast on the ballot. The judges of election shall not
handle any voted ballot except as provided in this Code for
uninitialed, spoiled, and defective and damaged ballots. Each
voted ballot shall be deposited into a secure ballot box
immediately after it has been counted by the automatic tabulating
equipment.
(3) The automatic tabulating equipment shall be set to
automatically return to the voter any ballot on which the number of
votes for an office or proposition exceeds the number of votes that
the voter is entitled to cast. If the voter, after being informed
that an overvote has occurred, determines to have the ballot
counted despite containing an overvote, the automatic tabulating
equipment shall be set to accept the ballot and count the votes for
or against propositions and for candidates for offices for which
there is no overvote.
(4) The automatic tabulating equipment shall be set to return
any ballot that is damaged or defective and cannot properly be read
by the automatic tabulating equipment. The ballot shall be marked
"Spoiled Ballot", initialed by all judges immediately under the
words "Spoiled Ballot", and not counted. The judges shall initial
and issue a new ballot to the voter in lieu of the original
"Spoiled Ballot" and the voter shall then be permitted to vote the
new ballot.
(5) Immediately after the closing of the polls and after the
insertion of absentee ballots entitled to be counted, the automatic
tabulating equipment shall be locked against further processing of
ballots and the vote totals shall be displayed and read.
(6) Throughout the election day and before the close of the
polls, no person shall be permitted to check for vote totals for
any candidate or proposition on the automatic tabulating equipment.
However, any voter, judge of election, or poll watcher may examine
the number of counted ballots shown on the public counter of the
automatic tabulating equipment when the polls are open. During the
time that polling places are open for voting, no person may reset
the equipment for re-insertion of ballots except upon the specific
authorization of the election authority; the automatic tabulating
equipment shall be programmed to prevent such re-insertion unless
provided a code by an authorized representative of the election
authority. If the automatic tabulating equipment becomes
inoperative during voting hours, until such time as it is repaired
and restarted by a representative of the election authority, the
voters shall deposit their voted ballots into the secure portion of
the supply carrier case or other secure ballot container supplied
by the election authority and the judges of election shall open the
container used for this purpose only after the close of the polls
and shall then insert each of the deposited ballots into the
automatic tabulating equipment to be tallied.
(b) Procedures after the close of the polls.
(1) Immediately after the closing of the polls, the absentee
ballots delivered to the precinct judges of election by the
election authority shall be examined to determine that such ballots
comply with Sections 19-9 and 20-9 of this Act and are entitled to
[May 8, 2002] 30
be deposited in the ballot box; those entitled to be deposited in
the ballot box shall be initialed by the precinct judges of
election and deposited in the ballot box. Those not entitled to be
deposited in the ballot box shall be marked "Rejected" and disposed
of as provided in said Sections 19-9 and 20-9.
(2) The precinct judges of election shall open the ballot box
and count the number of ballots therein to determine if such number
agrees with the number of voters voting as shown by the automatic
tabulating equipment, by the public counter on the automatic
tabulating equipment where available, and by applications for
ballot. or, If the same do not agree, the judges of election shall
make such ballots agree with the applications for ballot in the
manner provided by Section 17-18 of this Code Act.
(3) The judges of election shall then examine all ballot
cards and ballot card envelopes which are in the ballot box to
determine whether the ballot cards and ballot card envelopes
contain the initials of a precinct judge of election. If any
ballot card or ballot card envelope is not initialed, it shall be
marked on the back "Defective", initialed as to such label by all
judges immediately under the word "Defective" and not counted. The
judges of election shall place an initialed blank official ballot
card in the place of the defective ballot card, so that the count
of the ballot cards to be counted on the automatic tabulating
equipment will be the same, and each "Defective Ballot" card and
"Replacement" card shall contain the same serial number which shall
be placed thereon by the judges of election, commencing with number
1 and continuing consecutively for the ballots of that kind in that
precinct. The original "Defective" card shall be placed in the
"Defective Ballot Envelope" provided for that purpose.
(4) When an electronic voting system is used which utilizes a
ballot card, before separating the remaining ballot cards from
their respective covering envelopes or sleeves, the judges of
election shall examine the ballot cards, ballot card envelopes,
ballot card stubs, or security sleeves for write-in votes. When
the voter has cast a write-in vote, the judges of election shall
compare the write-in vote with the votes on the ballot card to
determine whether such write-in results in an overvote for any
office unless the automatic tabulating equipment has already done
so. In case of an overvote for any office, the judges of election,
consisting in each case of at least one judge of election of each
of the 2 major political parties, shall make a true duplicate
ballot of all votes on such ballot card except for the office which
is overvoted, by using the ballot label booklet of the precinct and
one of the marking devices of the precinct so as to transfer all
votes of the voter, except for the office overvoted, to a duplicate
card. The original ballot card and envelope upon which there is an
overvote shall be clearly labeled "Overvoted Ballot", and each such
"Overvoted Ballot" as well as its "Replacement" shall contain the
same serial number which shall be placed thereon by the judges of
election, commencing with number 1 and continuing consecutively for
the ballots of that kind in that precinct. The "Overvoted Ballot"
card and ballot envelope shall be placed in an envelope provided
for that purpose labeled "Duplicate Ballot" envelope, and the
judges of election shall initial the "Replacement" ballot cards and
shall place them with the other ballot cards to be counted on the
automatic tabulating equipment. Envelopes, ballot cards, ballot
card stubs, or security envelopes or sleeves containing write-in
votes marked in the place designated therefor and containing the
initials of a precinct judge of election and not resulting in an
overvote and otherwise complying with the election laws as to
marking shall be counted and tallied and their votes recorded on a
tally sheet provided by the election authority.
The ballot cards and ballot card envelopes or sleeves shall be
separated in preparation for counting by the automatic tabulating
equipment provided for that purpose by the election authority.
(5) After closing the polls and examining the absentee
31 [May 8, 2002]
ballots pursuant to subsection (c)(1) of this Section, the judges
of election shall insert into the automatic tabulating equipment
all absentee ballots entitled to be counted. Thereafter, the
judges of election shall generate vote totals for all candidates
and propositions.
Before the ballots are entered into the automatic tabulating
equipment, a precinct identification card provided by the election
authority shall be entered into the device to ensure that the
totals are all zeroes in the count column on the printing unit. A
precinct judge of election shall then count the ballots by entering
each ballot card into the automatic tabulating equipment, and if
any ballot or ballot card is damaged or defective so that it cannot
properly be counted by the automatic tabulating equipment, the
judges of election, consisting in each case of at least one judge
of election of each of the 2 major political parties, shall make a
true duplicate ballot of all votes on such ballot card by using the
ballot label booklet of the precinct and one of the marking devices
of the precinct. The original ballot or ballot card and envelope
shall be clearly labeled "Damaged Ballot" and the ballot or ballot
card so produced shall be clearly labeled "Duplicate Damaged
Ballot", and each shall contain the same serial number which shall
be placed thereon by the judges of election, commencing with number
1 and continuing consecutively for the ballots of that kind in the
precinct. The judges of election shall initial the "Duplicate
Damaged Ballot" ballot or ballot cards and shall enter the
duplicate damaged cards into the automatic tabulating equipment.
The "Damaged Ballot" cards shall be placed in the "Duplicated
Ballots" envelope; after all ballot cards have been successfully
read, the judges of election shall check to make certain that the
last number printed by the printing unit is the same as the number
of voters making application for ballot in that precinct. The
number shall be listed on the "Statement of Ballots" form provided
by the election authority.
(6) The totals for all candidates and propositions shall be
tabulated; 4 sets shall be attached to the 4 sets of "Certificate
of Results", which may be generated by the automatic tabulating
equipment, provided by the election authority; one set shall be
posted in a conspicuous place inside the polling place; and every
effort shall be made by the judges of election to provide a set for
each authorized pollwatcher or other official authorized to be
present in the polling place to observe the counting of ballots;
but in no case shall the number of sets to be made available to
pollwatchers be fewer than 4, chosen by lot by the judges of
election. In addition, sufficient time shall be provided by the
judges of election to the pollwatchers to allow them to copy
information from the set which has been posted.
(7) The judges of election shall count all unused ballot
cards and enter the number on the "Statement of Ballots". All
"Spoiled", "Defective" and "Duplicated" ballot cards shall be
counted and the number entered on the "Statement of Ballots".
(8) The precinct judges of election shall select a
bi-partisan team of 2 judges, who shall immediately return the
ballots in a sealed container, along with all other election
materials as instructed by the election authority; provided,
however, that such container must first be sealed by the election
judges with filament tape provided for such purpose which shall be
wrapped around the container lengthwise and crosswise, at least
twice each way, in such manner that the ballots cannot be removed
from such container without breaking the seal and filament tape and
disturbing any signatures affixed by the election judges to the
container. The election authority shall keep the office of the
election authority, or any receiving stations designated by such
authority, open for at least 12 consecutive hours after the polls
close or until the ballots from all precincts with in-precinct
automatic tabulating counting equipment within the jurisdiction of
the election authority have been returned to the election
[May 8, 2002] 32
authority. Ballots returned to the office of the election authority
which are not signed and sealed as required by law shall not be
accepted by the election authority until the judges returning the
same make and sign the necessary corrections. Upon acceptance of
the ballots by the election authority, the judges returning the
same shall take a receipt signed by the election authority and
stamped with the time and date of such return. The election judges
whose duty it is to return any ballots as herein provided shall, in
the event such ballots cannot be found when needed, on proper
request, produce the receipt which they are to take as above
provided.

(10 ILCS 5/24B-10.1)
Sec. 24B-10.1. In-Precinct Counting Equipment; Procedures for
Counting and Tallying Ballots. In an election jurisdiction where
Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan Technology counting equipment is used,
the following procedures for counting and tallying the ballots shall
apply:
(a) The in-precinct automatic tabulating equipment shall be set to
count each ballot for candidates and for or against propositions to be
voted upon as the ballot is inserted into the automatic tabulating
equipment, and the equipment shall internally tally accurate vote
totals for all such candidates and for and against all such
propositions. Before the opening of the polls, and before the ballots
are entered into the automatic tabulating equipment, the judges of
election shall turn on the automatic tabulating equipment, activate the
precinct program memory medium, and verify that the public counter is
set at zero shall be sure that the totals are all zeros in the counting
column. Ballots may then be counted by entering each ballot into the
automatic tabulating equipment.
After the polls have been declared open, each ballot shall be
inserted into the automatic tabulating equipment by the voter
immediately after the voter has completed marking his or her ballot.
The ballot shall be inserted into the automatic tabulating equipment
without public observation of the votes cast on the ballot. The judges
of election shall not handle any voted ballot except as provided in
this Code for uninitialed, spoiled, and defective and damaged ballots.
Each voted ballot shall be deposited into a secure ballot box
immediately after it has been counted by the automatic tabulating
equipment.
[May 8, 2002] 34
Immediately after the closing of the polls and after the insertion
of absentee ballots entitled to be counted, the automatic tabulating
equipment shall be locked against further processing of ballots and the
vote totals shall be displayed and read.
Throughout the election day and before the closing of the polls, no
person shall be permitted to may check for any vote totals for any
candidate or proposition on the automatic tabulating equipment.
However, any voter, judge of election, or poll watcher may examine the
number of counted ballots shown on the public counter of the automatic
tabulating equipment when the polls are open. During the time that
polling places are open for voting, no person may reset the equipment
for re-insertion of ballots except upon the specific authorization of
the election authority; the automatic tabulating equipment shall be
programmed to prevent such re-insertion unless provided a code by an
authorized representative of the election authority. If the automatic
tabulating equipment becomes inoperative during voting hours, until
such time as it is repaired and restarted by a representative of the
election authority, the voters shall deposit their voted ballots into
the secure portion of the supply carrier case or other secure ballot
container supplied by the election authority and the judges of election
shall open the container used for this purpose only after the close of
the polls and shall then insert each of the deposited ballots into the
automatic tabulating equipment to be tallied. Such automatic tabulating
equipment shall be programmed so that no person may reset the equipment
for refeeding of ballots unless provided a code from an authorized
representative of the election authority. At the option of the election
authority, the ballots may be fed into the Precinct Tabulation Optical
Scan Technology equipment by the voters under the direct supervision of
the judges of elections.
(b) The in-precinct automatic tabulating equipment shall have the
capability to identify voting defects. The election authority shall
develop and implement procedures for the following:
(1) The counting equipment shall be set to automatically
return to the voter any ballot on which the number of votes for an
office or proposition exceeds the number of votes that the voter is
entitled to cast. If the voter, after being informed that an
overvote has occurred, determines to have the ballot counted
despite containing an overvote, the automatic tabulating equipment
shall be set to accept the ballot and count the votes for or
against propositions and for candidates for offices for which there
is no overvote.
(2) The equipment shall be set to return any ballot that is
damaged or defective and cannot properly be read by the automatic
tabulating equipment. The ballot shall be marked "Spoiled Ballot",
initialed by all judges immediately under the words "Spoiled
Ballot", and not counted. The judges shall initial and issue a new
ballot to the voter in lieu of the original "Spoiled Ballot" and
the voter shall then be permitted to vote the new ballot.
(c) Immediately after the closing of the polls, the absentee
ballots delivered to the precinct judges of election by the election
authority shall be examined to determine that the ballots comply with
Sections 19-9 and 20-9 of this Code and are entitled to be scanned by
the Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan Technology equipment and then
deposited in the ballot box; those entitled to be scanned and deposited
in the ballot box shall be initialed by the precinct judges of election
and then scanned and deposited in the ballot box. Those not entitled
to be deposited in the ballot box shall be marked "Rejected" and
disposed of as provided in said Sections 19-9 and 20-9.
The precinct judges of election shall open the ballot box and count
the number of ballots to determine if the number agrees with the number
of voters voting as shown on the Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan
Technology equipment and by the applications for ballot or, if the same
do not agree, the judges of election shall make the ballots agree with
the applications for ballot in the manner provided by Section 17-18 of
this Code. The judges of election shall then examine all ballots which
are in the ballot box to determine whether the ballots contain the
35 [May 8, 2002]
initials of a precinct judge of election. If any ballot is not
initialed, it shall be marked on the back "Defective", initialed as to
such label by all judges immediately under the word "Defective" and not
counted. The judges of election shall place an initialed blank
official ballot in the place of the defective ballot, so that the count
of the ballots to be counted on the automatic tabulating equipment will
be the same, and each "Defective Ballot" and "Replacement" ballot shall
contain the same serial number which shall be placed thereon by the
judges of election, beginning with number 1 and continuing
consecutively for the ballots of that kind in that precinct. The
original "Defective" ballot shall be placed in the "Defective Ballot
Envelope" provided for that purpose.
If the judges of election have removed a ballot pursuant to Section
17-18, have labeled "Defective" a ballot which is not initialed, or
have otherwise determined under this Code to not count a ballot
originally deposited into a ballot box, the judges of election shall be
sure that the totals on the automatic tabulating equipment are reset to
all zeros in the counting column. Thereafter the judges of election
shall enter each ballot to be counted in the automatic tabulating
equipment. Resetting the automatic tabulating equipment to all zeros
and re-entering of ballots to be counted may occur at the precinct
polling place, the office of the election authority, or any receiving
station designated by the election authority. The election authority
shall designate the place for resetting and re-entering.
When a Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan Technology electronic
voting system is used which uses a paper ballot, the judges of election
shall examine the ballot for write-in votes. When the voter has cast a
write-in vote, the judges of election shall compare the write-in vote
with the votes on the ballot to determine whether the write-in results
in an overvote for any office, unless the Precinct Tabulation Optical
Scan Technology equipment has already done so. In case of an overvote
for any office, the judges of election, consisting in each case of at
least one judge of election of each of the 2 major political parties,
shall make a true duplicate ballot of all votes on such ballot except
for the office which is overvoted, by using the ballot of the precinct
and one of the marking devices of the precinct so as to transfer all
votes of the voter, except for the office overvoted, to a duplicate
ballot. The original ballot upon which there is an overvote shall be
clearly labeled "Overvoted Ballot", and each such "Overvoted Ballot" as
well as its "Replacement" shall contain the same serial number which
shall be placed thereon by the judges of election, beginning with
number 1 and continuing consecutively for the ballots of that kind in
that precinct. The "Overvoted Ballot" shall be placed in an envelope
provided for that purpose labeled "Duplicate Ballot" envelope, and the
judges of election shall initial the "Replacement" ballots and shall
place them with the other ballots to be counted on the automatic
tabulating equipment.
If any ballot is damaged or defective, or if any ballot contains a
Voting Defect, so that it cannot properly be counted by the automatic
tabulating equipment, the voter or the judges of election, consisting
in each case of at least one judge of election of each of the 2 major
political parties, shall make a true duplicate ballot of all votes on
such ballot by using the ballot of the precinct and one of the marking
devices of the precinct. If a damaged ballot, the original ballot
shall be clearly labeled "Damaged Ballot" and the ballot so produced
shall be clearly labeled "Damaged Ballot" and the ballot so produced
shall be clearly labeled "Duplicate Damaged Ballot", and each shall
contain the same serial number which shall be placed by the judges of
election, beginning with number 1 and continuing consecutively for the
ballots of that kind in the precinct. The judges of election shall
initial the "Duplicate Damaged Ballot" ballot and shall enter the
duplicate damaged ballot into the automatic tabulating equipment. The
"Damaged Ballots" shall be placed in the "Duplicated Ballots" envelope;
after all ballots have been successfully read, the judges of election
shall check to make certain that the Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan
Technology equipment readout agrees with the number of voters making
[May 8, 2002] 36
application for ballot in that precinct. The number shall be listed on
the "Statement of Ballots" form provided by the election authority.
The totals for all candidates and propositions shall be tabulated;
and 4 copies of a "Certificate of Results" shall be generated by the
automatic tabulating equipment; one copy shall be posted in a
conspicuous place inside the polling place; and every effort shall be
made by the judges of election to provide a copy for each authorized
pollwatcher or other official authorized to be present in the polling
place to observe the counting of ballots; but in no case shall the
number of copies to be made available to pollwatchers be fewer than 4,
chosen by lot by the judges of election. In addition, sufficient time
shall be provided by the judges of election to the pollwatchers to
allow them to copy information from the copy which has been posted.
The judges of election shall count all unused ballots and enter the
number on the "Statement of Ballots". All "Spoiled", "Defective" and
"Duplicated" ballots shall be counted and the number entered on the
"Statement of Ballots".
The precinct judges of election shall select a bi-partisan team of
2 judges, who shall immediately return the ballots in a sealed
container, along with all other election materials as instructed by the
election authority; provided, however, that such container must first
be sealed by the election judges with filament tape or other approved
sealing devices provided for the purpose which shall be wrapped around
the container lengthwise and crosswise, at least twice each way, in a
manner that the ballots cannot be removed from the container without
breaking the seal and filament tape and disturbing any signatures
affixed by the election judges to the container, or which other
approved sealing devices are affixed in a manner approved by the
election authority. The election authority shall keep the office of
the election authority or any receiving stations designated by the
authority, open for at least 12 consecutive hours after the polls close
or until the ballots from all precincts with in-precinct automatic
tabulating counting equipment within the jurisdiction of the election
authority have been returned to the election authority. Ballots
returned to the office of the election authority which are not signed
and sealed as required by law shall not be accepted by the election
authority until the judges returning the ballots make and sign the
necessary corrections. Upon acceptance of the ballots by the election
authority, the judges returning the ballots shall take a receipt signed
by the election authority and stamped with the time and date of the
return. The election judges whose duty it is to return any ballots as
provided shall, in the event the ballots cannot be found when needed,
on proper request, produce the receipt which they are to take as above
provided. The precinct judges of election shall also deliver the
Precinct Tabulation Optical Scan Technology equipment to the election
authority.

that the Senate has concurred with the House of Representatives in the
passage of a bill of the following title to-wit:
HOUSE BILL 6012
A bill for AN ACT concerning taxation.
Together with the attached amendment thereto (which amendment has

to ask the concurrence of the House, to-wit:
Senate Amendment No. 1 to HOUSE BILL NO. 6012.
Passed the Senate, as amended, May 8, 2002.
Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate
AMENDMENT NO. 1. Amend House Bill 6012 by replacing everything
after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Simplified Municipal Telecommunications Tax Act is
amended by adding Section 5-42 as follows:
(35 ILCS 636/5-42 new)
Sec. 5-42. Procedure for determining proper tax jurisdiction.
(a) Tax jurisdiction information.
(1) A municipality shall provide, within 30 days following
receipt of a written request from a telecommunications retailer
(mobile or non-mobile):
(A) A list containing each street name, known street
name aliases, street address number ranges, applicable
directionals, and zip codes associated with each street name,
for all street addresses located within the municipality. For
a range of street address numbers located within a
municipality that consists only of odd or even street numbers,
the list must specify whether the street numbers in the range
are odd or even. The list shall be alphabetical, except that
numbered streets shall be in numerical sequence.
39 [May 8, 2002]
(B) A list containing each postal zip code and all the
city names associated therewith for all zip codes assigned to
geographic areas located entirely within the municipality,
including zip codes assigned to rural route boxes; and
(C) A sequential list containing all rural route box
number ranges and the city names and zip codes associated
therewith, for all rural route boxes located within the
municipality, except that rural route boxes with postal zip
codes entirely within the municipality that are included on
the list furnished under paragraph (B) need not be duplicated.
(D) The lists shall be printed. If a list is available
through another medium, however, the municipality shall, upon
request, furnish the list through such medium in addition to
or in lieu of the printed lists. The municipality shall be
responsible for updating the lists as changes occur and for
furnishing this information to all telecommunications
retailers affected by the changes. Each update shall specify
an effective date, which shall be either the next ensuing
January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1; shall be furnished
to the telecommunications retailer not less than 60 days prior
to the effective date; and shall identify the additions,
deletions, and other changes to the preceding version of the
list. If the information is received less than 60 days prior
to the effective date of the change, the telecommunications
retailer has until the next ensuing January 1, April 1, July
1, or October 1 to make the appropriate changes.
(2) The telecommunications retailer shall be responsible for
charging the tax to the service addresses or, in the case of mobile
telecommunications, to the primary place of use addresses contained
in the lists that include all of the elements required by this
Section. If a service address is not included in the list, the
telecommunications retailer shall be held harmless from situsing
errors provided it uses a reasonable methodology to assign the
service address or addresses to a local tax jurisdiction. The
telecommunications retailer shall be held harmless for any tax
overpayments or underpayments (including penalty or interest)
resulting from written information provided by the municipality or,
in the case of disputes, the Department.
(3) If it is determined from the lists or updates furnished
under item (a)(1) that more than one municipality claims the same
address or group of addresses, the telecommunications retailer
shall notify the Department within 60 days of discovering the
discrepancy. After notification and until resolution, the
telecommunications retailer will continue its prior tax treatment
and will be held harmless for any tax, penalty, and interest in the
event the prior tax treatment is wrong. Upon resolution, the
Department will notify the telecommunications retailer in a written
form describing the resolution. Upon receipt of the resolution, the
telecommunications retailer has until the next ensuing January 1,
April 1, July 1, or October 1 to make the change.
(4) Municipalities shall notify telecommunications retailers
of any annexations, de-annexations, or other boundary changes at
least 60 days prior to the effective date of such changes. The
notification shall contain each street name, known street name
aliases, street address number ranges, applicable directionals, and
zip codes associated with each street name, for all street
addresses for which a change has occurred. The notice shall be
mailed to an address designated by the telecommunications retailer.
The telecommunications retailer has until the next ensuing January
1, April 1, July 1, or October 1 to make the changes described in
such notification .
(b) The safe harbor provisions, Sections 40 and 45 of the Mobile
Telecommunications Sourcing Conformity Act, shall apply to any
telecommunications retailers (wireless or non-wireless) employing
enhanced zip codes (zip+4) to assign each street address, address
range, post office box, or post office box range in their service area
[May 8, 2002] 40
to a specific municipal tax jurisdiction.
(c) Persons who believe that they are improperly being charged a
tax imposed under this Act because their service address is assigned to
the wrong taxing jurisdiction shall notify their telecommunications
(mobile or non-mobile) retailer in writing. The notification shall
include the street address for her or his place of primary use for
mobile telecommunications service or the service address for non-mobile
telecommunications, the name and address of the telecommunications
retailer who is collecting the tax imposed by this Act, the account
name and number for which the person seeks a correction of the tax
assignment, a description of the error asserted by that person, an
estimated amount of tax claimed to have been incorrectly paid, the time
period for which that amount of tax applies, and any other information
that the telecommunications retailer may reasonably require to process
the request. For purposes of this Section, the terms "place of primary
use" and "mobile telecommunications service" shall have the same
meanings as those terms are defined in the Mobile Telecommunications
Sourcing Conformity Act. Within 60 days after receiving a notice under
this subsection (c), the telecommunications retailer shall review its
records and the electronic database, if existing, or enhanced zip code
used pursuant to Section 25 or 40 of the Mobile Telecommunications
Sourcing Conformity Act to determine the customer's taxing
jurisdiction. If this review shows that the amount of tax, assignment
of place of primary use or service address, or taxing jurisdiction is
in error, the telecommunications retailer shall correct the error and
refund or credit the amount of tax erroneously collected from the
customer for a period of up to 3 years. If this review shows that the
amount of tax, assignment of place of primary use or service address,
or taxing jurisdiction is correct, the telecommunications retailer
shall provide a written explanation to the person from whom the notice
was received.
(1) If the person is dissatisfied with the response from the
telecommunications retailer, the customer may request a written
determination from the Department on a form prescribed by the
Department. The request shall contain the same information as was
provided to the telecommunications retailer. The Department shall
review the request for determination and make all reasonable
efforts to determine if such person's place of primary use for
mobile telecommunications service or the service address for
non-mobile telecommunications is located within the jurisdictional
boundaries of the municipality for which the person is being
charged tax under this Act. Upon request by the Department,
municipalities that have imposed a tax under this Act shall timely
provide information to the Department regarding such requests for
determination. The municipality shall have 30 days to respond to
the request submitted by the Department.
(2) Within 90 days after receipt of a request for
determination under subsection (c) of this Section, the Department
shall issue a letter of determination to the person stating whether
that person's place of primary use for mobile telecommunications
service or the service address for non-mobile telecommunications is
located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the municipality
for which the person is being charged tax under this Act or naming
the proper municipality, if different. The Department shall also
list in the letter of determination its findings as to the limit of
the jurisdictional boundary (street address range) for the
municipality in relation to the street address listed in the
request for a letter of determination. A copy of such letter of
determination shall be provided by the Department to the
telecommunications retailer listed on the request for
determination. The copy shall be sent via mail to an address
designated by the telecommunications retailer.
(3) If the telecommunications retailer receives a copy of the
letter of determination from the Department described in paragraph
(2) of subsection (c) of this Section that states that the person's
place of primary use for mobile telecommunications service or the
41 [May 8, 2002]
service address for non-mobile telecommunications is not located
within the jurisdictional boundaries of the municipality for which
that person is being charged tax under this Act and that provides
the correct tax jurisdiction for the particular street address, the
telecommunications retailer shall correct the error prospectively
and refund or credit the amount of tax determined to have been paid
in error by such person. The telecommunications retailer shall
retain such copy of the letter of determination in its books and
records and shall be held harmless for any tax, penalty, or
interest due as a result of its reliance on such determination. If
the Department subsequently receives information that discloses
that such service addresses or places of primary use on that street
are within the jurisdictional boundaries of a municipality other
than the one specified in the previous letter, the Department shall
notify the telecommunications retailer in writing that it is to
begin collecting tax for a specified municipality on the accounts
associated with those service addresses or places of primary use.
The notification to begin collecting tax on such accounts sent by
the Department to the telecommunications retailers prior to any
January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1 shall be effective with
respect to gross charges billed to those accounts on or after the
following January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1, respectively.
(4) If the telecommunications retailer receives a copy of the
letter of determination from the Department described in paragraphs
(2) and (3) of subsection (c) of this Section that states that the
such person's place of primary use for mobile telecommunications
service or the service address for non-mobile telecommunications is
not located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the
municipality for which that person is being charged tax under this
Act and the telecommunications retailer fails to correct the error
and refund or credit the appropriate amount of tax paid in error
within the time period prescribed in paragraph (3) of subsection
(c), the telecommunications retailer will not be held harmless for
any tax, penalty, or interest due the Department as a result of the
error. The person shall have the normal cause of action available
under the law to recover any tax, penalty, or interest from the
telecommunications retailer.
Section 10. The Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Conformity Act
is amended by changing Section 80 as follows:
(35 ILCS 638/80)
(This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed
effective date)
Sec. 80. Customers' procedures and remedies for correcting taxes
and fees.
(a) If a customer believes that an amount of tax or assignment of
place of primary use or taxing jurisdiction included on a billing is
erroneous, the customer shall notify his or her telecommunications
retailer the home service provider in writing. The customer shall
include in this written notification the street address for her or his
place of primary use, the account name and number for which the
customer seeks a correction of the tax assignment, a description of the
error asserted by the customer, an estimated amount of tax claimed to
have been incorrectly paid, the time period for which that amount of
tax applies, and any other information that the telecommunications
retailer home service provider reasonably requires to process the
request. Within 60 days after receiving a notice under this subsection
(a), the telecommunications retailer home service provider shall review
its records and the electronic database or enhanced zip code used
pursuant to Section 25 or 40 to determine the customer's taxing
jurisdiction. If this review shows that the amount of tax, assignment
of place of primary use or service address, or taxing jurisdiction is
in error, the telecommunications retailer home service provider shall
correct the error and refund or credit the amount of tax erroneously
collected from the customer for a period of up to 3 2 years. If this
review shows that the amount of tax, assignment of place of primary use
or service address, or taxing jurisdiction is correct, the
[May 8, 2002] 42
telecommunications retailer home service provider shall provide a
written explanation to the customer.
(b) If the customer is dissatisfied with the response of the
telecommunications retailer home service provider under this Section,
the customer may seek a correction or refund or both from the taxing
jurisdiction affected.
(c) The procedures in this Section shall be the first course of
remedy available to customers seeking correction of assignment of place
of primary use or taxing jurisdiction or a refund of or other
compensation for taxes, charges, and fees erroneously collected by the
telecommunications retailer home service provider, and no cause of
action based upon a dispute arising from these taxes, charges, or fees
shall accrue until a customer has reasonably exercised the rights and
procedures set forth in this Section.

Section 95. No acceleration or delay. Where this Act makes
changes in a statute that is represented in this Act by text that is
not yet or no longer in effect (for example, a Section represented by
multiple versions), the use of that text does not accelerate or delay
the taking effect of (i) the changes made by this Act or (ii)

"Section 3. The School Code is amended by changing Sections 1D-1,
14-7.02, 14-7.02a, 14-13.01, and 29-5 and adding Sections 17-17 and
34-23.5 as follows:
(105 ILCS 5/1D-1)
Sec. 1D-1. Block grant funding.
(a) For fiscal year 1996 and each fiscal year thereafter, the
State Board of Education shall award to a school district having a
population exceeding 500,000 inhabitants a general education block
grant and an educational services block grant, determined as provided
in this Section, in lieu of distributing to the district separate State
funding for the programs described in subsections (b) and (c). The
provisions of this Section, however, do not apply to any federal funds
that the district is entitled to receive. In accordance with Section
2-3.32, all block grants are subject to an audit. Therefore, block
grant receipts and block grant expenditures shall be recorded to the
appropriate fund code for the designated block grant.
(b) The general education block grant shall include the following
programs: REI Initiative, Summer Bridges, Preschool At Risk, K-6
Comprehensive Arts, School Improvement Support, Urban Education,
Scientific Literacy, Substance Abuse Prevention, Second Language
Planning, Staff Development, Outcomes and Assessment, K-6 Reading
Improvement, Truants' Optional Education, Hispanic Programs,
Agriculture Education, Gifted Education, Parental Education, Prevention
Initiative, Report Cards, and Criminal Background Investigations.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, all amounts paid under the
general education block grant from State appropriations to a school
district in a city having a population exceeding 500,000 inhabitants
shall be appropriated and expended by the board of that district for
any of the programs included in the block grant or any of the board's
lawful purposes.
(c) The educational services block grant shall include the
following programs: Bilingual, Regular and Vocational Transportation,
State Lunch and Free Breakfast Program, Special Education (Personnel,
Extraordinary, Transportation, Orphanage, Private Tuition), Summer
[May 8, 2002] 46
School, Educational Service Centers, and Administrator's Academy. This
subsection (c) does not relieve the district of its obligation to
provide the services required under a program that is included within
the educational services block grant. It is the intention of the
General Assembly in enacting the provisions of this subsection (c) to
relieve the district of the administrative burdens that impede
efficiency and accompany single-program funding. The General Assembly
encourages the board to pursue mandate waivers pursuant to Section
2-3.25g.
(d) For fiscal year 1996 and each fiscal year thereafter, the
amount of the district's block grants shall be determined as follows:
(i) with respect to each program that is included within each block
grant, the district shall receive an amount equal to the same
percentage of the current fiscal year appropriation made for that
program as the percentage of the appropriation received by the district
from the 1995 fiscal year appropriation made for that program, and (ii)
the total amount that is due the district under the block grant shall
be the aggregate of the amounts that the district is entitled to
receive for the fiscal year with respect to each program that is
included within the block grant that the State Board of Education shall
award the district under this Section for that fiscal year. In the
case of the Summer Bridges program, the amount of the district's block
grant shall be equal to 44% of the amount of the current fiscal year
appropriation made for that program.
(e) The district is not required to file any application or other
claim in order to receive the block grants to which it is entitled
under this Section. The State Board of Education shall make payments
to the district of amounts due under the district's block grants on a
schedule determined by the State Board of Education.
(f) A school district to which this Section applies shall report
to the State Board of Education on its use of the block grants in such
form and detail as the State Board of Education may specify.
(g) This paragraph provides for the treatment of block grants
under Article 1C for purposes of calculating the amount of block grants
for a district under this Section. Those block grants under Article 1C
IC are, for this purpose, treated as included in the amount of
appropriation for the various programs set forth in paragraph (b)
above. The appropriation in each current fiscal year for each block
grant under Article 1C shall be treated for these purposes as
appropriations for the individual program included in that block grant.
The proportion of each block grant so allocated to each such program
included in it shall be the proportion which the appropriation for that
program was of all appropriations for such purposes now in that block
grant, in fiscal 1995.
Payments to the school district under this Section with respect to
each program for which payments to school districts generally, as of
the date of this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly, are on a
reimbursement basis shall continue to be made to the district on a
reimbursement basis, pursuant to the provisions of this Code governing
those programs.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any school
district receiving a block grant under this Section may classify all or
a portion of the funds that it receives in a particular fiscal year
from any block grant authorized under this Code or from general State
aid pursuant to Section 18-8.05 of this Code (other than supplemental
general State aid) as funds received in connection with any funding
program for which it is entitled to receive funds from the State in
that fiscal year (including, without limitation, any funding program
referred to in subsection (c) of this Section), regardless of the
source or timing of the receipt. The district may not classify more
funds as funds received in connection with the funding program than the
district is entitled to receive in that fiscal year for that program.
Any classification by a district must be made by a resolution of its
board of education. The resolution must identify the amount of any
block grant or general State aid to be classified under this subsection
(h) and must specify the funding program to which the funds are to be
47 [May 8, 2002]
treated as received in connection therewith. This resolution is
controlling as to the classification of funds referenced therein. A
certified copy of the resolution must be sent to the State
Superintendent of Education. The resolution shall still take effect
even though a copy of the resolution has not been sent to the State
Superintendent of Education in a timely manner. No classification
under this subsection (h) by a district shall affect the total amount
or timing of money the district is entitled to receive under this Code.
No classification under this subsection (h) by a district shall in any
way relieve the district from or affect any requirements that otherwise
would apply with respect to the block grant as provided in this
Section, including any accounting of funds by source, reporting
expenditures by original source and purpose, reporting requirements, or
requirements of provision of services.

out-of-state schools, public school residential facilities or private
special education facilities. The General Assembly recognizes that
non-public schools or special education facilities provide an important
service in the educational system in Illinois.
If because of his or her disability the special education program
of a district is unable to meet the needs of a child and the child
attends a non-public school or special education facility, a public
out-of-state school or a special education facility owned and operated
by a county government unit that provides special educational services
required by the child and is in compliance with the appropriate rules
and regulations of the State Superintendent of Education, the school
district in which the child is a resident shall pay the actual cost of
tuition for special education and related services provided during the
regular school term and during the summer school term if the child's
educational needs so require, excluding room, board and transportation
costs charged the child by that non-public school or special education
facility, public out-of-state school or county special education
facility, or $4,500 per year, whichever is less, and shall provide him
any necessary transportation. "Nonpublic special education facility"
shall include a residential facility, within or without the State of
Illinois, which provides special education and related services to meet
the needs of the child by utilizing private schools or public schools,
whether located on the site or off the site of the residential
facility.
The State Board of Education shall promulgate rules and regulations
for determining when placement in a private special education facility
is appropriate. Such rules and regulations shall take into account the
various types of services needed by a child and the availability of
such services to the particular child in the public school. In
developing these rules and regulations the State Board of Education
shall consult with the Advisory Council on Education of Children with
Disabilities and hold public hearings to secure recommendations from
parents, school personnel, and others concerned about this matter.
The State Board of Education shall also promulgate rules and
regulations for transportation to and from a residential school.
Transportation to and from home to a residential school more than once
each school term shall be subject to prior approval by the State
Superintendent in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
State Board.
A school district making tuition payments pursuant to this Section
is eligible for reimbursement from the State for the amount of such
payments actually made in excess of the district per capita tuition
charge for students not receiving special education services. Such
reimbursement shall be approved in accordance with Section 14-12.01 and
each district shall file its claims, computed in accordance with rules
prescribed by the State Board of Education, on forms prescribed by the
State Superintendent of Education. Data used as a basis of
reimbursement claims shall be for the preceding regular school term and
[May 8, 2002] 48
summer school term. Each school district shall transmit its claims to
the State Board of Education on or before August 15. The State Board
of Education, before approving any such claims, shall determine their
accuracy and whether they are based upon services and facilities
provided under approved programs. Upon approval the State Board shall
cause vouchers to be prepared showing the amount due for payment of
reimbursement claims to school districts, for transmittal to the State
Comptroller on the 30th day of September, December, and March,
respectively, and the final voucher, no later than June 20. If the
money appropriated by the General Assembly for such purpose for any
year is insufficient, it shall be apportioned on the basis of the
claims approved.
No child shall be placed in a special education program pursuant to
this Section if the tuition cost for special education and related
services increases more than 10 percent over the tuition cost for the
previous school year or exceeds $4,500 per year unless such costs have
been approved by the Illinois Purchased Care Review Board. The
Illinois Purchased Care Review Board shall consist of the following
persons, or their designees: the Directors of Children and Family
Services, Public Health, Public Aid, and the Bureau of the Budget; the
Secretary of Human Services; the State Superintendent of Education; and
such other persons as the Governor may designate. The Review Board
shall establish rules and regulations for its determination of
allowable costs and payments made by local school districts for special
education, room and board, and other related services provided by
non-public schools or special education facilities and shall establish
uniform standards and criteria which it shall follow.
The Review Board shall establish uniform definitions and criteria
for accounting separately by special education, room and board and
other related services costs. The Board shall also establish
guidelines for the coordination of services and financial assistance
provided by all State agencies to assure that no otherwise qualified
disabled child receiving services under Article 14 shall be excluded
from participation in, be denied the benefits of or be subjected to
discrimination under any program or activity provided by any State
agency.
The Review Board shall review the costs for special education and
related services provided by non-public schools or special education
facilities and shall approve or disapprove such facilities in
accordance with the rules and regulations established by it with
respect to allowable costs.
The State Board of Education shall provide administrative and staff
support for the Review Board as deemed reasonable by the State
Superintendent of Education. This support shall not include travel
expenses or other compensation for any Review Board member other than
the State Superintendent of Education.
The Review Board shall seek the advice of the Advisory Council on
Education of Children with Disabilities on the rules and regulations to
be promulgated by it relative to providing special education services.
If a child has been placed in a program in which the actual per
pupil costs of tuition for special education and related services based
on program enrollment, excluding room, board and transportation costs,
exceed $4,500 and such costs have been approved by the Review Board,
the district shall pay such total costs which exceed $4,500. A
district making such tuition payments in excess of $4,500 pursuant to
this Section shall be responsible for an amount in excess of $4,500
equal to the district per capita tuition charge and shall be eligible
for reimbursement from the State for the amount of such payments
actually made in excess of the districts per capita tuition charge for
students not receiving special education services.
If a child has been placed in an approved individual program and
the tuition costs including room and board costs have been approved by
the Review Board, then such room and board costs shall be paid by the
appropriate State agency subject to the provisions of Section 14-8.01
of this Act. Room and board costs not provided by a State agency other
than the State Board of Education shall be provided by the State Board
49 [May 8, 2002]
of Education on a current basis. In no event, however, shall the
State's liability for funding of these tuition costs begin until after
the legal obligations of third party payors have been subtracted from
such costs. If the money appropriated by the General Assembly for such
purpose for any year is insufficient, it shall be apportioned on the
basis of the claims approved. Each district shall submit estimated
claims to the State Superintendent of Education. Upon approval of such
claims, the State Superintendent of Education shall direct the State
Comptroller to make payments on a monthly basis. The frequency for
submitting estimated claims and the method of determining payment shall
be prescribed in rules and regulations adopted by the State Board of
Education. Such current state reimbursement shall be reduced by an
amount equal to the proceeds which the child or child's parents are
eligible to receive under any public or private insurance or assistance
program. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as relieving an
insurer or similar third party from an otherwise valid obligation to
provide or to pay for services provided to a disabled child.
If it otherwise qualifies, a school district is eligible for the
transportation reimbursement under Section 14-13.01 and for the
reimbursement of tuition payments under this Section whether the
non-public school or special education facility, public out-of-state
school or county special education facility, attended by a child who
resides in that district and requires special educational services, is
within or outside of the State of Illinois. However, a district is not
eligible to claim transportation reimbursement under this Section
unless the district certifies to the State Superintendent of Education
that the district is unable to provide special educational services
required by the child for the current school year.
Nothing in this Section authorizes the reimbursement of a school
district for the amount paid for tuition of a child attending a
non-public school or special education facility, public out-of-state
school or county special education facility unless the school district
certifies to the State Superintendent of Education that the special
education program of that district is unable to meet the needs of that
child because of his disability and the State Superintendent of
Education finds that the school district is in substantial compliance
with Section 14-4.01.
Any educational or related services provided, pursuant to this
Section in a non-public school or special education facility or a
special education facility owned and operated by a county government
unit shall be at no cost to the parent or guardian of the child.
However, current law and practices relative to contributions by parents
or guardians for costs other than educational or related services are
not affected by this amendatory Act of 1978.
Reimbursement for children attending public school residential
facilities shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this
Section.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any school district
receiving a payment under this Section or under Section 14-7.02a,
14-13.01, or 29-5 of this Code may classify all or a portion of the
funds that it receives in a particular fiscal year or from general
State aid pursuant to Section 18-8.05 of this Code as funds received in
connection with any funding program for which it is entitled to receive
funds from the State in that fiscal year (including, without
limitation, any funding program referenced in this Section), regardless
of the source or timing of the receipt. The district may not classify
more funds as funds received in connection with the funding program
than the district is entitled to receive in that fiscal year for that
program. Any classification by a district must be made by a resolution
of its board of education. The resolution must identify the amount of
any payments or general State aid to be classified under this paragraph
and must specify the funding program to which the funds are to be
treated as received in connection therewith. This resolution is
controlling as to the classification of funds referenced therein. A
certified copy of the resolution must be sent to the State
Superintendent of Education. The resolution shall still take effect
[May 8, 2002] 50
even though a copy of the resolution has not been sent to the State
Superintendent of Education in a timely manner. No classification
under this paragraph by a district shall affect the total amount or
timing of money the district is entitled to receive under this Code.
No classification under this paragraph by a district shall in any way
relieve the district from or affect any requirements that otherwise
would apply with respect to that funding program, including any
accounting of funds by source, reporting expenditures by original
source and purpose, reporting requirements, or requirements of
providing services.

Sec. 14-7.02a. Children requiring extraordinary special education
services and facilities. A school district providing for a child
requiring extraordinary special education services because of the
nature of his disability is eligible for reimbursement from the State
if the cost of educating that child is computed, as set forth in
Section 14-7.01, to be in excess of one and one-half times the district
per capita tuition charge for the prior year. Such costs beyond one
per capita tuition charge shall be reimbursed, up to a maximum of
$2,000.
A child is deemed to require extraordinary special education
services and facilities under the following conditions:
1) the school district has determined that the child requires
extraordinary special education facilities pursuant to the
multidisciplinary case study and the individualized education
program;
2) the school district maintains adequate cost accounting to
document the per capita cost of special education; and
3) the school district submits approval and claim data
annually for each eligible child.
Extraordinary special education services provided on a one-half day
basis shall only be reimbursed at a rate of one-half the amount
otherwise provided herein.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any school district
receiving a payment under this Section or under Section 14-7.02,
14-13.01, or 29-5 of this Code may classify all or a portion of the

State aid pursuant to Section 18-8.05 of this Code as funds received in
connection with any funding program for which it is entitled to receive
funds from the State in that fiscal year (including, without
limitation, any funding program referenced in this Section), regardless
of the source or timing of the receipt. The district may not classify
more funds as funds received in connection with the funding program
than the district is entitled to receive in that fiscal year for that
program. Any classification by a district must be made by a resolution
of its board of education. The resolution must identify the amount of

No classification under this paragraph by a district shall in any way
relieve the district from or affect any requirements that otherwise

The reimbursement shall be limited to funds expended for
construction and maintenance of special education facilities designed
and utilized to house instructional programs, diagnostic services,
other special education services for children with disabilities and
reimbursement as provided in Section 14-13.01. There shall be no

teacher's salary but not more than $1,000 annually per child or $8,000
per teacher for the 1985-1986 school year and thereafter, whichever is
less. Children to be included in any reimbursement under this
paragraph must regularly receive a minimum of one hour of instruction
each school day, or in lieu thereof of a minimum of 5 hours of
instruction in each school week in order to qualify for full
reimbursement under this Section. If the attending physician for such

(b) For children described in Section 14-1.02, 4/5 of the cost of
transportation for each such child, whom the State Superintendent of
Education determined in advance requires special transportation service

State Board of Education.
(h) For necessary non-certified employees working in any class or
program for children defined in this Article, 1/2 of the salary paid or
$2,800 annually per employee, whichever is less.

Superintendent of Education for a number of days in excess of the
adopted school calendar but not to exceed 235 school days, such
reimbursement shall be increased by 1/185 of the amount or rate paid

(105 ILCS 5/29-5) (from Ch. 122, par. 29-5)
Sec. 29-5. Reimbursement by State for transportation. Any school
district, maintaining a school, transporting resident pupils to another
school district's vocational program, offered through a joint agreement
approved by the State Board of Education, as provided in Section
10-22.22 or transporting its resident pupils to a school which meets
the standards for recognition as established by the State Board of
Education which provides transportation meeting the standards of
safety, comfort, convenience, efficiency and operation prescribed by
the State Board of Education for resident pupils in kindergarten or any
of grades 1 through 12 who: (a) reside at least 1 1/2 miles as measured
by the customary route of travel, from the school attended; or (b)
reside in areas where conditions are such that walking constitutes a
hazard to the safety of the child when determined under Section 29-3;
and (c) are transported to the school attended from pick-up points at
the beginning of the school day and back again at the close of the
school day or transported to and from their assigned attendance centers
during the school day, shall be reimbursed by the State as hereinafter
provided in this Section.
The State will pay the cost of transporting eligible pupils less
the assessed valuation in a dual school district maintaining secondary
grades 9 to 12 inclusive times a qualifying rate of .05%; in elementary
school districts maintaining grades K to 8 times a qualifying rate of
.06%; in unit districts maintaining grades K to 12 times a qualifying
rate of .07%. To be eligible to receive reimbursement in excess of 4/5
of the cost to transport eligible pupils, a school district shall have
a Transportation Fund tax rate of at least .12%. If a school district
does not have a .12% Transportation Fund tax rate, the amount of its
claim in excess of 4/5 of the cost of transporting pupils shall be
reduced by the sum arrived at by subtracting the Transportation Fund
tax rate from .12% and multiplying that amount by the districts
equalized or assessed valuation, provided, that in no case shall said
reduction result in reimbursement of less than 4/5 of the cost to
transport eligible pupils.
The minimum amount to be received by a district is $16 times the
number of eligible pupils transported.
Any such district transporting resident pupils during the school
day to an area vocational school or another school district's
vocational program more than 1 1/2 miles from the school attended, as
provided in Sections 10-22.20a and 10-22.22, shall be reimbursed by the
State for 4/5 of the cost of transporting eligible pupils.
School day means that period of time which the pupil is required to
be in attendance for instructional purposes.
If a pupil is at a location within the school district other than
his residence for child care purposes at the time for transportation to
school, that location may be considered for purposes of determining the
1 1/2 miles from the school attended.
Claims for reimbursement that include children who attend any
school other than a public school shall show the number of such
children transported.
Claims for reimbursement under this Section shall not be paid for
the transportation of pupils for whom transportation costs are claimed
for payment under other Sections of this Act.
The allowable direct cost of transporting pupils for regular,
vocational, and special education pupil transportation shall be limited
to the sum of the cost of physical examinations required for employment
as a school bus driver; the salaries of full or part-time drivers and
school bus maintenance personnel; employee benefits excluding Illinois
municipal retirement payments, social security payments, unemployment
insurance payments and workers' compensation insurance premiums;
expenditures to independent carriers who operate school buses; payments
to other school districts for pupil transportation services;
pre-approved contractual expenditures for computerized bus scheduling;
the cost of gasoline, oil, tires, and other supplies necessary for the
operation of school buses; the cost of converting buses' gasoline
engines to more fuel efficient engines or to engines which use
[May 8, 2002] 54
alternative energy sources; the cost of travel to meetings and
workshops conducted by the regional superintendent or the State
Superintendent of Education pursuant to the standards established by
the Secretary of State under Section 6-106 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
to improve the driving skills of school bus drivers; the cost of
maintenance of school buses including parts and materials used;
expenditures for leasing transportation vehicles, except interest and
service charges; the cost of insurance and licenses for transportation
vehicles; expenditures for the rental of transportation equipment; plus
a depreciation allowance of 20% for 5 years for school buses and
vehicles approved for transporting pupils to and from school and a
depreciation allowance of 10% for 10 years for other transportation
equipment so used. In addition to the above allowable costs school
districts shall also claim all transportation supervisory salary costs,
including Illinois municipal retirement payments, and all
transportation related building and building maintenance costs without
limitation.
Special education allowable costs shall also include expenditures
for the salaries of attendants or aides for that portion of the time
they assist special education pupils while in transit and expenditures
for parents and public carriers for transporting special education
pupils when pre-approved by the State Superintendent of Education.
Indirect costs shall be included in the reimbursement claim for
districts which own and operate their own school buses. Such indirect
costs shall include administrative costs, or any costs attributable to
transporting pupils from their attendance centers to another school
building for instructional purposes. No school district which owns and
operates its own school buses may claim reimbursement for indirect
costs which exceed 5% of the total allowable direct costs for pupil
transportation.
The State Board of Education shall prescribe uniform regulations
for determining the above standards and shall prescribe forms of cost
accounting and standards of determining reasonable depreciation. Such
depreciation shall include the cost of equipping school buses with the
safety features required by law or by the rules, regulations and
standards promulgated by the State Board of Education, and the
Department of Transportation for the safety and construction of school
buses provided, however, any equipment cost reimbursed by the
Department of Transportation for equipping school buses with such
safety equipment shall be deducted from the allowable cost in the
computation of reimbursement under this Section in the same percentage
as the cost of the equipment is depreciated.
On or before July 10, annually, the board clerk or the secretary of
the district shall certify to the regional superintendent of schools
upon forms prescribed by the State Superintendent of Education the
district's claim for reimbursement for the school year ended on June 30
next preceding. The regional superintendent of schools shall check all
transportation claims to ascertain compliance with the prescribed
standards and upon his approval shall certify not later than July 25 to
the State Superintendent of Education the regional report of claims for
reimbursements. The State Superintendent of Education shall check and
approve the claims and prepare the vouchers showing the amounts due for
district reimbursement claims. Beginning with the 1977 fiscal year,
the State Superintendent of Education shall prepare and transmit the
first 3 vouchers to the Comptroller on the 30th day of September,
December and March, respectively, and the final voucher, no later than
June 15.
If the amount appropriated for transportation reimbursement is
insufficient to fund total claims for any fiscal year, the State Board
of Education shall reduce each school district's allowable costs and
flat grant amount proportionately to make total adjusted claims equal
the total amount appropriated.
For purposes of calculating claims for reimbursement under this
Section for any school year beginning July 1, 1998, or thereafter, the
equalized assessed valuation for a school district used to compute
reimbursement shall be computed in the same manner as it is computed
55 [May 8, 2002]
under paragraph (2) of subsection (G) of Section 18-8.05.
All reimbursements received from the State shall be deposited into
the district's transportation fund or into the fund from which the
allowable expenditures were made.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any school district
receiving a payment under this Section or under Section 14-7.02,

connection with any funding program for which it is entitled to receive
funds from the State in that fiscal year (including, without
limitation, any funding program referenced in this Section), regardless
of the source or timing of the receipt. The district may not classify
more funds as funds received in connection with the funding program
than the district is entitled to receive in that fiscal year for that
program. Any classification by a district must be made by a resolution
of its board of education. The resolution must identify the amount of
any payments or general State aid to be classified under this paragraph
and must specify the funding program to which the funds are to be
treated as received in connection therewith. This resolution is
controlling as to the classification of funds referenced therein. A
certified copy of the resolution must be sent to the State
Superintendent of Education. The resolution shall still take effect
even though a copy of the resolution has not been sent to the State
Superintendent of Education in a timely manner. No classification
under this paragraph by a district shall affect the total amount or
timing of money the district is entitled to receive under this Code.
No classification under this paragraph by a district shall in any way
relieve the district from or affect any requirements that otherwise
would apply with respect to that funding program, including any
accounting of funds by source, reporting expenditures by original

by inserting after Section 5 the following:
"Section 7. The Prevailing Wage Act is amended by changing
Sections 4 and 5 as follows:
(820 ILCS 130/4) (from Ch. 48, par. 39s-4)
Sec. 4. The public body awarding any contract for public work or
otherwise undertaking any public works, shall ascertain the general
prevailing rate of hourly wages in the locality in which the work is to
be performed, for each craft or type of worker or mechanic needed to
execute the contract, and where the public body performs the work
without letting a contract therefor, shall ascertain the prevailing
rate of wages on a per hour basis in the locality, and such public body
shall specify in the resolution or ordinance and in the call for bids
for the contract, that the general prevailing rate of wages in the
locality for each craft or type of worker or mechanic needed to execute
the contract or perform such work, also the general prevailing rate for
legal holiday and overtime work, as ascertained by the public body or
by the Department of Labor shall be paid for each craft or type of
worker needed to execute the contract or to perform such work, and it
shall be mandatory upon the contractor to whom the contract is awarded
and upon any subcontractor under him, and where the public body
63 [May 8, 2002]
performs the work, upon the public body, to pay not less than the
specified rates to all laborers, workers and mechanics employed by them
in the execution of the contract or such work; provided, however, that
if the public body desires that the Department of Labor ascertain the
prevailing rate of wages, it shall notify the Department of Labor to
ascertain the general prevailing rate of hourly wages for work under
contract, or for work performed by a public body without letting a
contract as required in the locality in which the work is to be
performed, for each craft or type of worker or mechanic needed to
execute the contract or project or work to be performed. Upon such
notification the Department of Labor shall ascertain such general
prevailing rate of wages, and certify the prevailing wage to such
public body. The public body awarding the contract shall cause to be
inserted in the contract a stipulation to the effect that not less than
the prevailing rate of wages as found by the public body or Department
of Labor or determined by the court on review shall be paid to all
laborers, workers and mechanics performing work under the contract. It
shall also require in all such contractor's bonds that the contractor
include such provision as will guarantee the faithful performance of
such prevailing wage clause as provided by contract. All bid
specifications shall list the specified rates to all laborers, workers
and mechanics in the locality for each craft or type of worker or
mechanic needed to execute the contract. If the Department of Labor
revises the prevailing rate of hourly wages to be paid by the public
body, the revised rate shall apply to such contract, and the public
body shall be responsible to notify the contractor and each
subcontractor, of the revised rate. Two or more investigatory hearings
under this Section on the issue of establishing a new prevailing wage
classification for a particular craft or type of worker shall be
consolidated in a single hearing before the Department. Such
consolidation shall occur whether each separate investigatory hearing
is conducted by a public body or the Department. The party requesting a
consolidated investigatory hearing shall have the burden of
establishing that there is no existing prevailing wage classification
for the particular craft or type of worker in any of the localities
under consideration.

accurate record showing the names and occupation of all laborers,
workers and mechanics employed by them, in connection with said public
work, and showing also the actual hourly wages paid to each of such
persons, which record shall be open at all reasonable hours to the
inspection of the public body awarding the contract, its officers and
agents, and to the Director of Labor and his deputies and agents. Any
contractor or subcontractor that maintains its principal place of
business outside of this State shall make the required records or
