HB0001 EngrossedLRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 AN ACT concerning alternative treatment for serious
2diseases causing chronic pain and debilitating conditions.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
6Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act.
7 Section 5. Findings.
8 (a) The recorded use of cannabis as a medicine goes back
9nearly 5,000 years. Modern medical research has confirmed the
10beneficial uses of cannabis in treating or alleviating the
11pain, nausea, and other symptoms associated with a variety of
12debilitating medical conditions, including cancer, multiple
13sclerosis, and HIV/AIDS, as found by the National Academy of
14Sciences' Institute of Medicine in March 1999.
15 (b) Studies published since the 1999 Institute of Medicine
16report continue to show the therapeutic value of cannabis in
17treating a wide array of debilitating medical conditions. These
18include relief of the neuropathic pain caused by multiple
19sclerosis, HIV/AIDS, and other illnesses that often fail to
20respond to conventional treatments and relief of nausea,
21vomiting, and other side effects of drugs used to treat
22HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C, increasing the chances of patients
23continuing on life-saving treatment regimens.

HB0001 Engrossed- 2 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 (c) Cannabis has many currently accepted medical uses in
2the United States, having been recommended by thousands of
3licensed physicians to at least 600,000 patients in states with
4medical cannabis laws. The medical utility of cannabis is
5recognized by a wide range of medical and public health
6organizations, including the American Academy of HIV Medicine,
7the American College of Physicians, the American Nurses
8Association, the American Public Health Association, the
9Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and many others.
10 (d) Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform
11Crime Reports and the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics
12show that approximately 99 out of every 100 cannabis arrests in
13the U.S. are made under state law, rather than under federal
14law. Consequently, changing State law will have the practical
15effect of protecting from arrest the vast majority of seriously
16ill patients who have a medical need to use cannabis.
17 (e) Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut,
18Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana,
19Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont,
20Washington, and Washington, D.C. have removed state-level
21criminal penalties from the medical use and cultivation of
22cannabis. Illinois joins in this effort for the health and
23welfare of its citizens.
24 (f) States are not required to enforce federal law or
25prosecute people for engaging in activities prohibited by
26federal law. Therefore, compliance with this Act does not put

HB0001 Engrossed- 3 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1the State of Illinois in violation of federal law.
2 (g) State law should make a distinction between the medical
3and non-medical uses of cannabis. Hence, the purpose of this
4Act is to protect patients with debilitating medical
5conditions, as well as their physicians and providers, from
6arrest and prosecution, criminal and other penalties, and
7property forfeiture if the patients engage in the medical use
8of cannabis.
9 Section 10. Definitions. The following terms, as used in
10this Act, shall have the meanings set forth in this Section:

16 provides a substantial medical basis in a signed, written

18 history, in the physician's professional judgment, 2.5
19 ounces is an insufficient adequate supply for a 14-day
20 period to properly alleviate the patient's debilitating
21 medical condition or symptoms associated with the
22 debilitating medical condition.

21partnership, trust or a Subchapter S corporation shall be an
22additional amount equal to 1.5% of such taxpayer's net income
23for the taxable year.
24 (d-1) Rate reduction for certain foreign insurers. In the
25case of a foreign insurer, as defined by Section 35A-5 of the
26Illinois Insurance Code, whose state or country of domicile

HB0001 Engrossed- 85 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1imposes on insurers domiciled in Illinois a retaliatory tax
2(excluding any insurer whose premiums from reinsurance assumed

7reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
8on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
9imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
10increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
11under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
12shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
13on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
14the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
15domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
16and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign
17insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
18allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on such
19income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For the
20purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate includes
21a mutual insurer under common management.
22 (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
23 shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections
24 (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at which the sum of:
25 (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign
26 insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net of all

HB0001 Engrossed- 86 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 credits allowed under this Act, plus
2 (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the
3 Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance company
4 tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire Investigation

12 no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
13 and (d).
14 (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
15 subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
16 by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by

18 Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
19 has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
20 subsection (d).
21 This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
22Section 250.
23 (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
24against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
25investment in qualified property.
26 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%

HB0001 Engrossed- 87 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
2 the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
3 service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
4 additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
5 property placed in service during the taxable year,
6 provided such property is placed in service on or after
7 July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
8 Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
9 year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
10 filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
11 Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
12 met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
13 which they file employment records with the Illinois
14 Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
15 this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
16 Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing
17 law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
18 increase in base employment within Illinois over the
19 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
20 be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
21 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
22 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
23 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
24 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
25 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
26 other than the year in which the property was placed in

HB0001 Engrossed- 88 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
2 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
3 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
4 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
5 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
6 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
7 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
8 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
9 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
10 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
11 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
12 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
13 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
14 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
15 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
16 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
17 (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
18 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
19 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
20 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
21 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
22 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
23 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
24 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
25 the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
26 forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable

HB0001 Engrossed- 89 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
2 be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
3 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
4 that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
5 shall be applied first.
6 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
7 which:
8 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
9 buildings and structural components of buildings and
10 signs that are real property, but not including land or
11 improvements to real property that are not a structural
12 component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
13 lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
14 other appurtenances;
15 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
16 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
17 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
18 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
19 (e);
20 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
21 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
22 (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
23 primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
24 or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
25 on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
26 Zone established pursuant to the River Edge

HB0001 Engrossed- 90 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 Redevelopment Zone Act; and
2 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
3 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
4 the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
5 subsection (f).
6 (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
7 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
8 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
9 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
10 assembling which changes some existing material into new
11 shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
12 this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
13 meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
14 Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
15 the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
16 property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
17 services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
18 personal property for use or consumption and not for
19 resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
20 personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
21 is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
22 taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
23 include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
24 electricity.
25 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
26 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

HB0001 Engrossed- 91 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 income tax purposes.
2 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
3 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
4 in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
5 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
6 date of such increase in basis.
7 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
8 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
9 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
10 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
11 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
12 any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
13 months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
14 Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
15 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
16 recomputing the investment credit which would have been
17 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
18 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
19 computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
20 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
21 purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
22 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
23 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
24 property to the extent of such reduction.
25 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
26 the basis of qualified property shall not include costs

HB0001 Engrossed- 92 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
2 pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
3 December 31, 2018.
4 (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
5 a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
6 credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
7 subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
8 credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
9 against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
10 Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
11 credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
12 partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
13 Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
14 promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
15 the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
16 taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
17 its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
18 that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
19 shall be irrevocable.
20 For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
21 a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
22 under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
23 of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
24 S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
25 paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
26 allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its

HB0001 Engrossed- 93 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
2 the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
3 corporation, determined in accordance with the
4 determination of income and distributive share of income
5 under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
6 Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
7 of Section 250.

14 Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
15 or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
16 established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
17 Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
18 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
19 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
20 purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
21 be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
22 determined in accordance with the determination of income
23 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
24 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
25 shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
26 shall be available only in the taxable year in which the

HB0001 Engrossed- 94 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
2 River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
3 the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
4 the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
5 to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
6 31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
7 which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
8 of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
9 whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
10 as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
11 applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
12 following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
13 applied to the earliest year for which there is a
14 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
15 that is available to offset a liability, the credit
16 accruing first in time shall be applied first.
17 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
18 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
19 buildings and structural components of buildings;
20 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the

23 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
24 (f);
25 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
26 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;

HB0001 Engrossed- 95 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
2 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
3 (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
4 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
5 the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
6 subsection (e).
7 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
8 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
9 income tax purposes.
10 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
11 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
12 in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
13 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
14 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
15 date of such increase in basis.
16 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
17 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
18 (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
19 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
20 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
21 any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
22 or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
23 being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
24 (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
25 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
26 recomputing the investment credit which would have been

HB0001 Engrossed- 96 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
2 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
3 computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
4 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
5 purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
6 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
7 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
8 property to the extent of such reduction.
9 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
10 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
11 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
12 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
13 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
14 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
15 the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
16 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
17 Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
18 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
19 employment for the first year in which they file employment
20 records with the Illinois Department of Employment
21 Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
22 within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,

19 Commerce and Economic Opportunity designated High Impact
20 Business. The credit shall be .5% of the basis for such
21 property. The credit shall not be available (i) until the
22 minimum investments in qualified property set forth in
23 subdivision (a)(3)(A) of Section 5.5 of the Illinois
24 Enterprise Zone Act have been satisfied or (ii) until the
25 time authorized in subsection (b-5) of the Illinois

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

1 Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
2 88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and
3 reflect existing law.
4 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
5 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
6 buildings and structural components of buildings;
7 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
8 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
9 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
10 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
11 (h);
12 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
13 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
14 (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
15 Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
16 Section.
17 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
18 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
19 income tax purposes.
20 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
21 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
22 in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
23 Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
24 such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
25 the date of such increase in basis.
26 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same

HB0001 Engrossed- 102 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
2 (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before

4 property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
5 after being placed in service, or the situs of any
6 qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
7 months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
8 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
9 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
10 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
11 been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
12 was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
13 such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
14 credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
15 the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
16 basis of qualified property resulting from a
17 redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
18 disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
19 reduction.
20 (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
21 1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
22 subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and

26 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased

HB0001 Engrossed- 103 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
2 facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
3 received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
4 (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income
5Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
6shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and

8(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
9multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
10Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
11allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
12base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
13rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
14 Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
15subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
16because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
17and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
18liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
19forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
20(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
21year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
22year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
23applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
24liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
25than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
26earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied

1first.
2 If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
31986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
4Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
5subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
6shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
7recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
8imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
9reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
10taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
11year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
12 (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
13ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,

6the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
7the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
8first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
9first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
10there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
11year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
12credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
13carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or

21unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
22as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
23taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
24first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending

1 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
22 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest
3year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
4given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
5remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
6applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
7liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
8credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
9following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
10that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
11than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the

21 subsection from more than one tax year that is available to
22 offset a liability, the earliest credit arising under this
23 subsection shall be applied first. A credit allowed under
24 this subsection may be sold to a buyer as part of a sale of

26 was granted. The purchaser of a remediation site and the

HB0001 Engrossed- 110 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 tax credit shall succeed to the unused credit and remaining
2 carry-forward period of the seller. To perfect the

4 chain of title for the site and provide written notice to
5 the Director of the Illinois Department of Revenue of the
6 assignor's intent to sell the remediation site and the

3 Section 915. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section
43-10 as follows:
5 (35 ILCS 105/3-10)
6 Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in this
7Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of 6.25% of
8either the selling price or the fair market value, if any, of
9the tangible personal property. In all cases where property
10functionally used or consumed is the same as the property that
11was purchased at retail, then the tax is imposed on the selling
12price of the property. In all cases where property functionally
13used or consumed is a by-product or waste product that has been
14refined, manufactured, or produced from property purchased at
15retail, then the tax is imposed on the lower of the fair market
16value, if any, of the specific property so used in this State
17or on the selling price of the property purchased at retail.
18For purposes of this Section "fair market value" means the
19price at which property would change hands between a willing
20buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion
21to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the
22relevant facts. The fair market value shall be established by
23Illinois sales by the taxpayer of the same property as that
24functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such sales by

HB0001 Engrossed- 117 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1the taxpayer, then comparable sales or purchases of property of
2like kind and character in Illinois.

24 for the issuance of a restricted driving permit.
25 (A) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
26 suspended due to 2 or more convictions of violating

HB0001 Engrossed- 154 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
2 local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense, or
3 Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the
4 Criminal Code of 2012, where the use of alcohol or
5 other drugs is recited as an element of the offense, or
6 a similar out-of-state offense, or a combination of
7 these offenses, arising out of separate occurrences,
8 that person, if issued a restricted driving permit, may
9 not operate a vehicle unless it has been equipped with
10 an ignition interlock device as defined in Section
11 1-129.1.
12 (B) If a person's license or permit is revoked or
13 suspended 2 or more times within a 10 year period due
14 to any combination of:
15 (i) a single conviction of violating Section
16 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a
17 local ordinance or a similar out-of-state offense
18 or Section 9-3 of the Criminal Code of 1961 or the

20 other drugs is recited as an element of the
21 offense, or a similar out-of-state offense; or
22 (ii) a statutory summary suspension or
23 revocation under Section 11-501.1; or
24 (iii) a suspension under Section 6-203.1;

7 establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms,
8 and conditions relating to these fees.
9 (D) If the restricted driving permit is issued for
10 employment purposes, then the prohibition against
11 operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an
12 ignition interlock device does not apply to the
13 operation of an occupational vehicle owned or leased by
14 that person's employer when used solely for employment
15 purposes.
16 (E) In each case the Secretary may issue a
17 restricted driving permit for a period deemed
18 appropriate, except that all permits shall expire
19 within one year from the date of issuance. The
20 Secretary may not, however, issue a restricted driving
21 permit to any person whose current revocation is the
22 result of a second or subsequent conviction for a
23 violation of Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar
24 provision of a local ordinance or any similar
25 out-of-state offense, or Section 9-3 of the Criminal
26 Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, where the

4 expiration of at least one year from the date of the
5 revocation. A restricted driving permit issued under
6 this Section shall be subject to cancellation,
7 revocation, and suspension by the Secretary of State in
8 like manner and for like cause as a driver's license
9 issued under this Code may be cancelled, revoked, or
10 suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more
11 offenses against laws or ordinances regulating the
12 movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause
13 for the revocation, suspension, or cancellation of a
14 restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may,
15 as a condition to the issuance of a restricted driving
16 permit, require the applicant to participate in a
17 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program.
18 The Secretary of State is authorized to cancel a
19 restricted driving permit if the permit holder does not
20 successfully complete the program.
21 (c-3) In the case of a suspension under paragraph 43 of
22subsection (a), reports received by the Secretary of State

17provisions of this Section, require the applicant to
18participate in a driver remedial education course and be

11 Sec. 6-206.1. Monitoring Device Driving Permit.
12Declaration of Policy. It is hereby declared a policy of the
13State of Illinois that the driver who is impaired by alcohol,
14other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds is a
15threat to the public safety and welfare. Therefore, to provide
16a deterrent to such practice, a statutory summary driver's
17license suspension is appropriate. It is also recognized that
18driving is a privilege and therefore, that the granting of
19driving privileges, in a manner consistent with public safety,
20is warranted during the period of suspension in the form of a
21monitoring device driving permit. A person who drives and fails
22to comply with the requirements of the monitoring device
23driving permit commits a violation of Section 6-303 of this
24Code.
25 The following procedures shall apply whenever a first

HB0001 Engrossed- 159 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1offender, as defined in Section 11-500 of this Code, is
2arrested for any offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a
3similar provision of a local ordinance and is subject to the
4provisions of Section 11-501.1:
5 (a) Upon mailing of the notice of suspension of driving
6privileges as provided in subsection (h) of Section 11-501.1 of
7this Code, the Secretary shall also send written notice
8informing the person that he or she will be issued a monitoring
9device driving permit (MDDP). The notice shall include, at
10minimum, information summarizing the procedure to be followed
11for issuance of the MDDP, installation of the breath alcohol
12ignition installation device (BAIID), as provided in this
13Section, exemption from BAIID installation requirements, and
14procedures to be followed by those seeking indigent status, as
15provided in this Section. The notice shall also include
16information summarizing the procedure to be followed if the
17person wishes to decline issuance of the MDDP. A copy of the
18notice shall also be sent to the court of venue together with
19the notice of suspension of driving privileges, as provided in
20subsection (h) of Section 11-501. However, a MDDP shall not be
21issued if the Secretary finds that:
22 (1) The offender's driver's license is otherwise
23 invalid;
24 (2) Death or great bodily harm resulted from the arrest
25 for Section 11-501;
26 (3) The offender has been previously convicted of

11 Any offender participating in the MDDP program must pay the
12Secretary a MDDP Administration Fee in an amount not to exceed
13$30 per month, to be deposited into the Monitoring Device
14Driving Permit Administration Fee Fund. The Secretary shall
15establish by rule the amount and the procedures, terms, and
16conditions relating to these fees. The offender must have an
17ignition interlock device installed within 14 days of the date
18the Secretary issues the MDDP. The ignition interlock device
19provider must notify the Secretary, in a manner and form
20prescribed by the Secretary, of the installation. If the
21Secretary does not receive notice of installation, the
22Secretary shall cancel the MDDP.
23 A MDDP shall not become effective prior to the 31st day of
24the original statutory summary suspension.
25 Upon receipt of the notice, as provided in paragraph (a) of

25de-installs the BAIID without prior authorization from the
26Secretary, the MDDP shall be cancelled.

HB0001 Engrossed- 163 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b

25or compounds related suspension or revocation; implied

HB0001 Engrossed- 195 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1consent.
2 (a) Any person who drives or is in actual physical control
3of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State shall
4be deemed to have given consent, subject to the provisions of
5Section 11-501.2, to a chemical test or tests of blood, breath,
6or urine for the purpose of determining the content of alcohol,
7other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds or
8any combination thereof in the person's blood if arrested, as
9evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket, for any
10offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar provision of
11a local ordinance, or if arrested for violating Section 11-401.
12If a law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe the
13person was under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
14intoxicating compound or compounds, or any combination
15thereof, the law enforcement officer shall request a chemical
16test or tests which shall be administered at the direction of
17the arresting officer. The law enforcement agency employing the
18officer shall designate which of the aforesaid tests shall be
19administered. A urine test may be administered even after a
20blood or breath test or both has been administered. For
21purposes of this Section, an Illinois law enforcement officer
22of this State who is investigating the person for any offense
23defined in Section 11-501 may travel into an adjoining state,
24where the person has been transported for medical care, to
25complete an investigation and to request that the person submit
26to the test or tests set forth in this Section. The

HB0001 Engrossed- 196 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1requirements of this Section that the person be arrested are
2inapplicable, but the officer shall issue the person a Uniform
3Traffic Ticket for an offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a
4similar provision of a local ordinance prior to requesting that
5the person submit to the test or tests. The issuance of the
6Uniform Traffic Ticket shall not constitute an arrest, but
7shall be for the purpose of notifying the person that he or she
8is subject to the provisions of this Section and of the
9officer's belief of the existence of probable cause to arrest.
10Upon returning to this State, the officer shall file the
11Uniform Traffic Ticket with the Circuit Clerk of the county
12where the offense was committed, and shall seek the issuance of
13an arrest warrant or a summons for the person.
14 (a-5) In addition to the requirements and provisions of
15subsection (a), any person issued a registry card under the
16Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act who
17drives or is in actual physical control of a motor vehicle upon
18the public highways of this State shall be deemed to have given
19consent, subject to the provisions of Section 11-501.2, to
20standardized field sobriety tests approved by the National
21Highway Traffic Safety Administration if arrested, as
22evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket, for any
23offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar provision of
24a local ordinance, or if arrested for violating Section 11-401.
25The person's status as a registry card holder alone is not a
26sufficient basis for conducting these tests. The officer must

HB0001 Engrossed- 197 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1have an independent, cannabis-related factual basis giving
2reasonable suspicion that the person is driving under the
3influence of cannabis for conducting standardized field
4sobriety tests. This independent basis of suspicion shall be
5listed on the standardized field sobriety test results and any
6influence reports made by the arresting officer.
7 (b) Any person who is dead, unconscious, or who is
8otherwise in a condition rendering the person incapable of
9refusal, shall be deemed not to have withdrawn the consent
10provided by paragraph (a) of this Section and the test or tests
11may be administered, subject to the provisions of Section
1211-501.2.
13 (c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided
14above shall be warned by the law enforcement officer requesting
15the test that a refusal to submit to the test will result in
16the statutory summary suspension of the person's privilege to
17operate a motor vehicle, as provided in Section 6-208.1 of this
18Code, and will also result in the disqualification of the
19person's privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle, as
20provided in Section 6-514 of this Code, if the person is a CDL
21holder. The person shall also be warned that a refusal to
22submit to the test, when the person was involved in a motor
23vehicle accident that caused personal injury or death to
24another, will result in the statutory summary revocation of the
25person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle, as provided in
26Section 6-208.1, and will also result in the disqualification

HB0001 Engrossed- 198 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1of the person's privilege to operate a commercial motor
2vehicle, as provided in Section 6-514 of this Code, if the
3person is a CDL holder. The person shall also be warned by the
4law enforcement officer that if the person submits to the test
5or tests provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and the
6alcohol concentration in the person's blood or breath is 0.08
7or greater, or any amount of a drug, substance, or compound
8resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis as
9covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance
10listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an
11intoxicating compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating
12Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the
13Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act is
14detected in the person's blood or urine, or if the person fails
15the standardized field sobriety tests as required by paragraph
16(a-5), a statutory summary suspension of the person's privilege
17to operate a motor vehicle, as provided in Sections 6-208.1 and
1811-501.1 of this Code, and a disqualification of the person's
19privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle, as provided in
20Section 6-514 of this Code, if the person is a CDL holder, will
21be imposed.
22 A person who is under the age of 21 at the time the person
23is requested to submit to a test as provided above shall, in
24addition to the warnings provided for in this Section, be
25further warned by the law enforcement officer requesting the
26test that if the person submits to the test or tests provided

HB0001 Engrossed- 199 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1in paragraph (a) or (a-5) of this Section and the alcohol
2concentration in the person's blood or breath is greater than
30.00 and less than 0.08, a suspension of the person's privilege
4to operate a motor vehicle, as provided under Sections 6-208.2
5and 11-501.8 of this Code, will be imposed. The results of this
6test shall be admissible in a civil or criminal action or
7proceeding arising from an arrest for an offense as defined in
8Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
9ordinance or pursuant to Section 11-501.4 in prosecutions for
10reckless homicide brought under the Criminal Code of 1961 or
11the Criminal Code of 2012. These test results, however, shall
12be admissible only in actions or proceedings directly related
13to the incident upon which the test request was made.
14 (d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that
15discloses an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or any
16amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound in the
17person's breath, blood, or urine resulting from the unlawful
18use or consumption of cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control
19Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
20Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of
21Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the
22Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, the law
23enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to
24the circuit court of venue and the Secretary of State,
25certifying that the test or tests was or were requested under
26paragraph (a) or (a-5) and the person refused to submit to a

HB0001 Engrossed- 200 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1test, or tests, or submitted to testing that disclosed an
2alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more. A sworn report
3indicating refusal or failure of testing under paragraph (a-5)
4of this Section shall include the factual basis of the
5arresting officer's reasonable suspicion that the person was
6under the influence of cannabis. The person's possession of a
7valid registry card under the Compassionate Use of Medical
8Cannabis Pilot Program Act alone is not sufficient basis for
9reasonable suspicion.
10 (e) Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement
11officer submitted under paragraph (d), the Secretary of State
12shall enter the statutory summary suspension or revocation and
13disqualification for the periods specified in Sections 6-208.1
14and 6-514, respectively, and effective as provided in paragraph
15(g).
16 If the person is a first offender as defined in Section
1711-500 of this Code, and is not convicted of a violation of
18Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local
19ordinance, then reports received by the Secretary of State
20under this Section shall, except during the actual time the
21Statutory Summary Suspension is in effect, be privileged
22information and for use only by the courts, police officers,
23prosecuting authorities or the Secretary of State, unless the
24person is a CDL holder, is operating a commercial motor vehicle
25or vehicle required to be placarded for hazardous materials, in
26which case the suspension shall not be privileged. Reports

HB0001 Engrossed- 201 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall
2also be made available to the parent or guardian of a person
3under the age of 18 years that holds an instruction permit or a
4graduated driver's license, regardless of whether the
5statutory summary suspension is in effect. A statutory summary
6revocation shall not be privileged information.
7 (f) The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report
8under paragraph (d) shall serve immediate notice of the
9statutory summary suspension or revocation on the person and
10the suspension or revocation and disqualification shall be
11effective as provided in paragraph (g).

13 0.08 or greater or any amount of a drug, substance, or
14 compound resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
15 cannabis as covered by the Cannabis Control Act, a
16 controlled substance listed in the Illinois Controlled
17 Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use
18 of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as
19 listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community

24 mail of the notice in an envelope with postage prepaid and
25 addressed to the person at his address as shown on the
26 Uniform Traffic Ticket and the statutory summary

HB0001 Engrossed- 202 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 suspension and disqualification shall begin as provided in
2 paragraph (g). The officer shall confiscate any Illinois
3 driver's license or permit on the person at the time of
4 arrest. If the person has a valid driver's license or
5 permit, the officer shall issue the person a receipt, in a
6 form prescribed by the Secretary of State, that will allow
7 that person to drive during the periods provided for in
8 paragraph (g). The officer shall immediately forward the
9 driver's license or permit to the circuit court of venue
10 along with the sworn report provided for in paragraph (d).
11 (2) In cases indicating refusal or failure of testing
12 under paragraph (a-5) of this Section the arresting officer
13 or arresting agency shall give notice as provided in this
14 Section or by deposit in the United States mail of the
15 notice in an envelope with postage prepaid and addressed to
16 the person at his or her address as shown on the Uniform
17 Traffic Ticket and the statutory summary suspension and
18 disqualification shall begin as provided in paragraph (g).
19 This notice shall include the factual basis of the
20 arresting officer's reasonable suspicion that the person
21 was under the influence of cannabis. The person's
22 possession of a valid registry card under the Compassionate
23 Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act alone is not
24 sufficient basis for reasonable suspicion.
25 (g) The statutory summary suspension or revocation and
26disqualification referred to in this Section shall take effect

HB0001 Engrossed- 203 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b

11notice of the effective date of the disqualification to the
12person. However, should the sworn report be defective by not
13containing sufficient information or be completed in error, the
14confirmation of the statutory summary suspension or revocation
15shall not be mailed to the person or entered to the record;
16instead, the sworn report shall be forwarded to the court of
17venue with a copy returned to the issuing agency identifying
18any defect.
19 (i) As used in this Section, "personal injury" includes any
20Type A injury as indicated on the traffic accident report
21completed by a law enforcement officer that requires immediate
22professional attention in either a doctor's office or a medical
23facility. A Type A injury includes severely bleeding wounds,
24distorted extremities, and injuries that require the injured
25party to be carried from the scene.

4 Sec. 11-501.2. Chemical and other tests.
5 (a) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
6proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as defined
7in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings
8pursuant to Section 2-118.1, evidence of the concentration of
9alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
10compounds, or any combination thereof in a person's blood or
11breath at the time alleged, as determined by analysis of the
12person's blood, urine, breath or other bodily substance, shall
13be admissible. Where such test is made the following provisions
14shall apply:
15 1. Chemical analyses of the person's blood, urine,
16 breath or other bodily substance to be considered valid
17 under the provisions of this Section shall have been
18 performed according to standards promulgated by the
19 Department of State Police by a licensed physician,
20 registered nurse, trained phlebotomist, certified
21 paramedic, or other individual possessing a valid permit
22 issued by that Department for this purpose. The Director of
23 State Police is authorized to approve satisfactory
24 techniques or methods, to ascertain the qualifications and
25 competence of individuals to conduct such analyses, to

HB0001 Engrossed- 205 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 issue permits which shall be subject to termination or
2 revocation at the discretion of that Department and to
3 certify the accuracy of breath testing equipment. The
4 Department of State Police shall prescribe regulations as
5 necessary to implement this Section.
6 2. When a person in this State shall submit to a blood
7 test at the request of a law enforcement officer under the
8 provisions of Section 11-501.1, only a physician
9 authorized to practice medicine, a licensed physician
10 assistant, a licensed advanced practice nurse, a
11 registered nurse, trained phlebotomist, or certified
12 paramedic, or other qualified person approved by the
13 Department of State Police may withdraw blood for the
14 purpose of determining the alcohol, drug, or alcohol and
15 drug content therein. This limitation shall not apply to
16 the taking of breath or urine specimens.
17 When a blood test of a person who has been taken to an
18 adjoining state for medical treatment is requested by an
19 Illinois law enforcement officer, the blood may be
20 withdrawn only by a physician authorized to practice
21 medicine in the adjoining state, a licensed physician
22 assistant, a licensed advanced practice nurse, a
23 registered nurse, a trained phlebotomist acting under the
24 direction of the physician, or certified paramedic. The law
25 enforcement officer requesting the test shall take custody
26 of the blood sample, and the blood sample shall be analyzed

HB0001 Engrossed- 206 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 by a laboratory certified by the Department of State Police
2 for that purpose.
3 3. The person tested may have a physician, or a
4 qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
5 qualified person of their own choosing administer a
6 chemical test or tests in addition to any administered at
7 the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure or
8 inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall
9 not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the test
10 or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement
11 officer.
12 4. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a
13 chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement
14 officer, full information concerning the test or tests
15 shall be made available to the person or such person's
16 attorney.
17 5. Alcohol concentration shall mean either grams of
18 alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol
19 per 210 liters of breath.
20 (a-5) Law enforcement officials may use standardized field
21sobriety tests approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety
22Administration when conducting investigations of a violation
23of Section 11-501 or similar local ordinance by drivers
24suspected of driving under the influence of cannabis. The
25General Assembly finds that standardized field sobriety tests
26approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

HB0001 Engrossed- 207 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1are divided attention tasks that are intended to determine if a
2person is under the influence of cannabis. The purpose of these
3tests is to determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a
4person's capacity to think and act with ordinary care and
5therefore operate a motor vehicle safely. Therefore, the
6results of these standardized field sobriety tests,
7appropriately administered, shall be admissible in the trial of
8any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of an
9arrest for a cannabis-related offense as defined in Section
1011-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings under
11Section 2-118.1. Where a test is made the following provisions
12shall apply:
13 1. The person tested may have a physician, or a
14 qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other
15 qualified person of their own choosing administer a
16 chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized
17 field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction
18 of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to
19 obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude the
20 admission of evidence relating to the test or tests taken
21 at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
22 2. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to a
23 standardized field sobriety test or tests at the request of
24 a law enforcement officer, full information concerning the
25 test or tests shall be made available to the person or the
26 person's attorney.

HB0001 Engrossed- 208 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 3. At the trial of any civil or criminal action or
2 proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as
3 defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or
4 proceedings under Section 2-118.1 in which the results of
5 these standardized field sobriety tests are admitted, the
6 cardholder may present and the trier of fact may consider
7 evidence that the card holder lacked the physical capacity
8 to perform the standardized field sobriety tests.
9 (b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or
10proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed
11by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a
12vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, the concentration
13of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at the time alleged
14as shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or
15other bodily substance shall give rise to the following
16presumptions:
17 1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
18 of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was
19 not under the influence of alcohol.
20 2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration
21 in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not
22 give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not
23 under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be
24 considered with other competent evidence in determining
25 whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
26 3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration

HB0001 Engrossed- 209 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1 of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was
2 under the influence of alcohol.
3 4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
4 be construed as limiting the introduction of any other
5 relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the
6 person was under the influence of alcohol.
7 (c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a
8chemical test under the provisions of Section 11-501.1,
9evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or
10criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to
11have been committed while the person under the influence of
12alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
13compounds, or any combination thereof was driving or in actual
14physical control of a motor vehicle.
15 2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code to
16submit to these tests or any ability to revoke the implied
17consent to these tests, if a law enforcement officer has
18probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle driven by or in
19actual physical control of a person under the influence of
20alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
21compounds, or any combination thereof has caused the death or
22personal injury to another, the law enforcement officer shall
23request, and that person shall submit, upon the request of a
24law enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or
25her blood, breath or urine for the purpose of determining the
26alcohol content thereof or the presence of any other drug or

HB0001 Engrossed- 210 -LRB098 02716 MLW 32724 b
1combination of both.
2 This provision does not affect the applicability of or
3imposition of driver's license sanctions under Section
411-501.1 of this Code.
5 3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury includes
6any Type A injury as indicated on the traffic accident report
7completed by a law enforcement officer that requires immediate
8professional attention in either a doctor's office or a medical
9facility. A Type A injury includes severe bleeding wounds,
10distorted extremities, and injuries that require the injured
11party to be carried from the scene.
