LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
A BILL FOR
SB0329 LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
AN ACT concerning local government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The State Finance Act is amended by changing
Section 6z-20 as follows:
(30 ILCS 105/6z-20) (from Ch. 127, par. 142z-20)
Sec. 6z-20. County and Mass Transit District Fund. Of the
money received from the 6.25% general rate (and, beginning
July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000, the 1.25% rate on
motor fuel and gasohol, and beginning on August 6, 2010
through August 15, 2010, and beginning again on August 5, 2022
through August 14, 2022, the 1.25% rate on sales tax holiday
items) on sales subject to taxation under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act and Service Occupation Tax Act and paid
into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, distribution
to the Regional Transportation Authority tax fund, created
pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Regional Transportation
Authority Act, for deposit therein shall be made based upon
the retail sales occurring in a county having more than
3,000,000 inhabitants. The remainder shall be distributed to
each county having 3,000,000 or fewer inhabitants based upon
the retail sales occurring in each such county.
For the purpose of determining allocation to the local

SB0329 - 2 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
government unit, a retail sale by a producer of coal or other
mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail at the place
where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is extracted
from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to coal or other
mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the seller to the
purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the sale is
exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale in
interstate or foreign commerce.
Of the money received from the 6.25% general use tax rate
on tangible personal property which is purchased outside
Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is titled or
registered by any agency of this State's government and paid
into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, the amount for
which Illinois addresses for titling or registration purposes
are given as being in each county having more than 3,000,000
inhabitants shall be distributed into the Regional
Transportation Authority tax fund, created pursuant to Section
4.03 of the Regional Transportation Authority Act. The
remainder of the money paid from such sales shall be
distributed to each county based on sales for which Illinois
addresses for titling or registration purposes are given as
being located in the county. Any money paid into the Regional
Transportation Authority Occupation and Use Tax Replacement
Fund from the County and Mass Transit District Fund prior to
January 14, 1991, which has not been paid to the Authority
prior to that date, shall be transferred to the Regional

SB0329 - 3 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Transportation Authority tax fund.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund of money
paid into the County and Mass Transit District Fund should be
made to a claimant instead of issuing a credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State Comptroller, who shall cause
the order to be drawn for the amount specified, and to the
person named, in such notification from the Department. Such
refund shall be paid by the State Treasurer out of the County
and Mass Transit District Fund.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected
during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a
STAR bond district and deposited into the County and Mass
Transit District Fund, less 3% of that amount, which shall be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
and shall be used by the Department, subject to appropriation,
to cover the costs of the Department in administering the
Innovation Development and Economy Act.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to the Regional

SB0329 - 4 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Transportation Authority and to named counties, the counties
to be those entitled to distribution, as hereinabove provided,
of taxes or penalties paid to the Department during the second
preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to the
Regional Transportation Authority and each county having
3,000,000 or fewer inhabitants shall be the amount (not
including credit memoranda) collected during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department and paid into the
County and Mass Transit District Fund, plus an amount the
Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts which
were erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not
including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during
the second preceding calendar month by the Department, and not
including any amount which the Department determines is
necessary to offset any amounts which were payable to a
different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
Regional Transportation Authority or county, and not including
any amounts that are transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue
Fund, less 1% 1.5% of the amount to be paid to the Regional
Transportation Authority, which shall be transferred into the
Tax Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the Regional
Transportation Authority, shall prepare and certify to the
State Comptroller the amount to be transferred into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund under this Section. Within
10 days after receipt, by the Comptroller, of the disbursement

SB0329 - 5 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
certification to the Regional Transportation Authority,
counties, and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by
the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
directions contained in such certification.
When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to
the Regional Transportation Authority or to a county under
this Section, the Department shall increase or decrease that
amount by an amount necessary to offset any misallocation of
previous disbursements. The offset amount shall be the amount
erroneously disbursed within the 6 months preceding the time a
misallocation is discovered.
The provisions directing the distributions from the
special fund in the State Treasury provided for in this
Section and from the Regional Transportation Authority tax
fund created by Section 4.03 of the Regional Transportation
Authority Act shall constitute an irrevocable and continuing
appropriation of all amounts as provided herein. The State
Treasurer and State Comptroller are hereby authorized to make
distributions as provided in this Section.
In construing any development, redevelopment, annexation,
preannexation or other lawful agreement in effect prior to
September 1, 1990, which describes or refers to receipts from
a county or municipal retailers' occupation tax, use tax or
service occupation tax which now cannot be imposed, such

SB0329 - 6 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
description or reference shall be deemed to include the
replacement revenue for such abolished taxes, distributed from
the County and Mass Transit District Fund or Local Government
Distributive Fund, as the case may be.

Section 10. The Counties Code is amended by changing
Sections 5-1006, 5-1006.5, 5-1006.8, and 5-1007 as follows:
(55 ILCS 5/5-1006) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1006)
Sec. 5-1006. Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax
Law. Any county that is a home rule unit may impose a tax upon
all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
personal property, other than an item of tangible personal
property titled or registered with an agency of this State's
government, at retail in the county on the gross receipts from
such sales made in the course of their business. If imposed,
this tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after
September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be imposed on
tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under
this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
purposes. If the county does not have an airport-related
purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then

SB0329 - 7 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The county must comply
with the certification requirements for airport-related
purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for
so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b)
and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The changes made
to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 101st General
Assembly are a denial and limitation of home rule powers and
functions under subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of
the Illinois Constitution. The tax imposed by a home rule
county pursuant to this Section and all civil penalties that
may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
of registration that is issued by the Department to a retailer
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the
retailer to engage in a business that is taxable under any
ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section
without registering separately with the Department under such
ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty

SB0329 - 8 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j,
1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions
therein other than the State rate of tax), 3 (except as to the
disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on
aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c,
5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and
Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully
as if those provisions were set forth herein.
No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to
this Section unless the county also imposes a tax at the same
rate pursuant to Section 5-1007.
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such

SB0329 - 9 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the home rule county retailers' occupation
tax fund or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as
appropriate.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties collected
hereunder for deposit into the Home Rule County Retailers'
Occupation Tax Fund. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation
fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, shall be immediately
paid over by the Department to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, for deposit into the Local Government
Aviation Trust Fund. The Department shall only pay moneys into
the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund under this Section
for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR

SB0329 - 10 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to named counties, the
counties to be those from which retailers have paid taxes or
penalties hereunder to the Department during the second
preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each county
shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda and not
including taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold
on or after December 1, 2019) collected hereunder during the
second preceding calendar month by the Department plus an
amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any
amounts that were erroneously paid to a different taxing body,
and not including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
during the second preceding calendar month by the Department
on behalf of such county, and not including any amount which
the Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts
which were payable to a different taxing body but were
erroneously paid to the county, and not including any amounts
that are transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1%
1.5% of the remainder, which the Department shall transfer
into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund. The

SB0329 - 11 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Department, at the time of each monthly disbursement to the
counties, shall prepare and certify to the State Comptroller
the amount to be transferred into the Tax Compliance and
Administration Fund under this Section. Within 10 days after
receipt, by the Comptroller, of the disbursement certification
to the counties and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by
the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
directions contained in the certification.
In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
paragraph, an allocation shall be made in March of each year to
each county that received more than $500,000 in disbursements
under the preceding paragraph in the preceding calendar year.
The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the average
monthly distribution made to each such county under the
preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar year
(excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The distribution
made in March of each year subsequent to the year in which an
allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the
preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount allocated
and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding calendar
year. The Department shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller for disbursement the allocations made in
accordance with this paragraph.
For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit

SB0329 - 12 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of coal or
other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail at the
place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is
extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale
in interstate or foreign commerce.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
business which under the Constitution of the United States may
not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax
hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be
adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the Department
on or before the first day of June, whereupon the Department
shall proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of the
first day of September next following such adoption and
filing. Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance or resolution
imposing or discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a
change in the rate thereof shall be adopted and a certified
copy thereof filed with the Department on or before the first
day of July, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of
October next following such adoption and filing. Beginning
January 1, 1993, an ordinance or resolution imposing or

SB0329 - 13 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b

rate thereof shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof
filed with the Department on or before the first day of
October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce this Section as of the first day of January next
following such adoption and filing. Beginning April 1, 1998,
an ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax
hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall
either (i) be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with
the Department on or before the first day of April, whereupon
the Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
Section as of the first day of July next following the adoption
and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a certified copy thereof
filed with the Department on or before the first day of
October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce this Section as of the first day of January next
following the adoption and filing.
When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
county under this Section, the Department shall increase or
decrease such amount by an amount necessary to offset any
misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.
This Section shall be known and may be cited as the Home
Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax Law.

all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
personal property, other than personal property titled or

retail in the county on the gross receipts from the sales made
in the course of business to provide revenue to be used
exclusively for public safety, public facility, mental health,
substance abuse, or transportation purposes in that county

that county and approved by a majority of those voting on the
question. If imposed, this tax shall be imposed only in
one-quarter percent increments. By resolution, the county
board may order the proposition to be submitted at any

provision at which time the additional sales tax would
cease being collected, if not terminated earlier by a vote
of the county board. If the county board votes to include a
sunset provision, the proposition for public facilities
purposes shall be in substantially the following form:
"To pay for mental health purposes, shall (name of
county) be authorized to impose an increase on its share
of local sales taxes by (insert rate) for a period not to
exceed (insert number of years)?"
As additional information on the ballot below the
question shall appear the following:

SB0329 - 21 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
"This would mean that a consumer would pay an
additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of
tangible personal property bought at retail. If imposed,
the additional tax would cease being collected at the end
of (insert number of years), if not terminated earlier by
a vote of the county board."
The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
(5) The proposition for substance abuse purposes shall
be in substantially the following form:
"To pay for substance abuse purposes, shall (name of
county) be authorized to impose an increase on its share
of local sales taxes by (insert rate)?"
As additional information on the ballot below the
question shall appear the following:
"This would mean that a consumer would pay an
additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of
tangible personal property bought at retail."
The county board may also opt to establish a sunset
provision at which time the additional sales tax would
cease being collected, if not terminated earlier by a vote
of the county board. If the county board votes to include a
sunset provision, the proposition for public facilities
purposes shall be in substantially the following form:
"To pay for substance abuse purposes, shall (name of
county) be authorized to impose an increase on its share
of local sales taxes by (insert rate) for a period not to

SB0329 - 22 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
exceed (insert number of years)?"
As additional information on the ballot below the
question shall appear the following:
"This would mean that a consumer would pay an
additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of
tangible personal property bought at retail. If imposed,
the additional tax would cease being collected at the end
of (insert number of years), if not terminated earlier by
a vote of the county board."
The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
If a majority of the electors voting on the proposition
vote in favor of it, the county may impose the tax. A county
may not submit more than one proposition authorized by this
Section to the electors at any one time.
This additional tax may not be imposed on tangible
personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under this
amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020, this tax is not
imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
expended for airport-related purposes. If the county does not
have an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates aviation
fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from the tax.
The county must comply with the certification requirements for
airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,

SB0329 - 23 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. Beginning January 1, 2021,
this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel for so long
as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The tax imposed by a
county under this Section and all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident of the tax shall be collected and
enforced by the Illinois Department of Revenue and deposited
into a special fund created for that purpose. The certificate
of registration that is issued by the Department to a retailer
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the
retailer to engage in a business that is taxable without
registering separately with the Department under an ordinance
or resolution under this Section. The Department has full
power to administer and enforce this Section, to collect all
taxes and penalties due under this Section, to dispose of
taxes and penalties so collected in the manner provided in
this Section, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account of the erroneous payment of a tax or penalty
under this Section. In the administration of and compliance
with this Section, the Department and persons who are subject
to this Section shall (i) have the same rights, remedies,
privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to
the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and
definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
procedure as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e,

SB0329 - 24 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-70 (in respect to all
provisions contained in those Sections other than the State
rate of tax), 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 (except provisions relating to
transaction returns and quarter monthly payments, and except
that the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on
aviation fuel that are deposited into the Local Government
Aviation Trust Fund), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i,
5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as if those provisions were
set forth in this Section.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
sellers' tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed
schedules as the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the County Public Safety, Public Facilities,
Mental Health, Substance Abuse, or Transportation Retailers'

SB0329 - 25 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Occupation Tax Fund or the Local Government Aviation Trust
Fund, as appropriate.
(b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
the county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed at the 1%
rate under the Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate
imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019 and through December 31,
2020, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless
the tax revenue is expended for airport-related purposes. If
the county does not have an airport-related purpose to which
it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is
excluded from the tax. The county must comply with the
certification requirements for airport-related purposes under
Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For
purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes" has the
meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act.
Beginning January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on sales of
aviation fuel for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county.
The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties
that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected

SB0329 - 26 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The Department has
full power to administer and enforce this subsection; to
collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of
taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
hereunder. In the administration of and compliance with this
subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this
paragraph shall (i) have the same rights, remedies,
privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to
the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties,
exclusions, exemptions, and definitions of terms, and (iii)
employ the same modes of procedure as are prescribed in
Sections 2 (except that the reference to State in the
definition of supplier maintaining a place of business in this
State shall mean the county), 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 through 3-50 (in
respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate of
tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to the
county), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which the tax
shall be a debt to the extent indicated in that Section 8 shall
be the county), 9 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
penalties collected, and except that the retailer's discount
is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are
deposited into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund), 10,
11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference

SB0329 - 27 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
to the State shall mean the county), Section 15, 16, 17, 18,
19, and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, and Section 3-7
of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those
provisions were set forth herein.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State tax that servicemen are
authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may
prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the County Public Safety, Public Facilities,
Mental Health, Substance Abuse, or Transportation Retailers'
Occupation Fund or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund,
as appropriate.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize
the county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business which under the Constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.

SB0329 - 28 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall immediately pay over to the State Treasurer,
ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties collected
under this Section to be deposited into the County Public
Safety, Public Facilities, Mental Health, Substance Abuse, or
Transportation Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund, which shall be
an unappropriated trust fund held outside of the State
treasury. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold
on or after December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020,
shall be immediately paid over by the Department to the State
Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, for deposit into the Local
Government Aviation Trust Fund. The Department shall only pay
moneys into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund under
this Act for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the

SB0329 - 29 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
disbursement of stated sums of money to the counties from
which retailers have paid taxes or penalties to the Department
during the second preceding calendar month. The amount to be
paid to each county, and deposited by the county into its
special fund created for the purposes of this Section, shall
be the amount (not including credit memoranda and not
including taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold
on or after December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020)
collected under this Section during the second preceding
calendar month by the Department plus an amount the Department
determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were
erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not including
(i) an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the
second preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of
the county, (ii) any amount that the Department determines is
necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a
different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the county,
(iii) any amounts that are transferred to the STAR Bonds
Revenue Fund, and (iv) 1% 1.5% of the remainder, which shall be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund.
The Department, at the time of each monthly disbursement to
the counties, shall prepare and certify to the State
Comptroller the amount to be transferred into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund under this subsection.
Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of the
disbursement certification to the counties and the Tax

SB0329 - 30 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Compliance and Administration Fund provided for in this
Section to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the
Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the
respective amounts in accordance with directions contained in
the certification.
In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
paragraph, an allocation shall be made in March of each year to
each county that received more than $500,000 in disbursements
under the preceding paragraph in the preceding calendar year.
The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the average
monthly distribution made to each such county under the
preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar year
(excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The distribution
made in March of each year subsequent to the year in which an
allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the
preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount allocated
and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding calendar
year. The Department shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller for disbursement the allocations made in
accordance with this paragraph.
(d) For the purpose of determining the local governmental
unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of
coal or another mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
coal or another mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the

SB0329 - 31 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale
in interstate or foreign commerce.
(e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
authorize a county to impose a tax upon the privilege of
engaging in any business that under the Constitution of the
United States may not be made the subject of taxation by this
State.
(e-5) If a county imposes a tax under this Section, the
county board may, by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate
of the tax. If the county board lowers the tax rate or
discontinues the tax, a referendum must be held in accordance
with subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase the
rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.
(f) Beginning April 1, 1998 and through December 31, 2013,
the results of any election authorizing a proposition to
impose a tax under this Section or effecting a change in the
rate of tax, or any ordinance lowering the rate or
discontinuing the tax, shall be certified by the county clerk
and filed with the Illinois Department of Revenue either (i)
on or before the first day of April, whereupon the Department
shall proceed to administer and enforce the tax as of the first
day of July next following the filing; or (ii) on or before the
first day of October, whereupon the Department shall proceed
to administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of
January next following the filing.

SB0329 - 32 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Beginning January 1, 2014, the results of any election
authorizing a proposition to impose a tax under this Section
or effecting an increase in the rate of tax, along with the
ordinance adopted to impose the tax or increase the rate of the
tax, or any ordinance adopted to lower the rate or discontinue
the tax, shall be certified by the county clerk and filed with
the Illinois Department of Revenue either (i) on or before the
first day of May, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of July next
following the adoption and filing; or (ii) on or before the
first day of October, whereupon the Department shall proceed
to administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of
January next following the adoption and filing.
(g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement
to a county under this Section, the Department shall increase
or decrease the amounts by an amount necessary to offset any
miscalculation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
6 months from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
(g-5) Every county authorized to levy a tax under this
Section shall, before it levies such tax, establish a 7-member
mental health board, which shall have the same powers and
duties and be constituted in the same manner as a community
mental health board established under the Community Mental
Health Act. Proceeds of the tax under this Section that are
earmarked for mental health or substance abuse purposes shall

SB0329 - 33 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
be deposited into a special county occupation tax fund for
mental health and substance abuse. The 7-member mental health
board established under this subsection shall administer the
special county occupation tax fund for mental health and
substance abuse in the same manner as the community mental
health board administers the community mental health fund
under the Community Mental Health Act.
(h) This Section may be cited as the "Special County
Occupation Tax For Public Safety, Public Facilities, Mental
Health, Substance Abuse, or Transportation Law".
(i) For purposes of this Section, "public safety"
includes, but is not limited to, crime prevention, detention,
fire fighting, police, medical, ambulance, or other emergency
services. The county may share tax proceeds received under
this Section for public safety purposes, including proceeds
received before August 4, 2009 (the effective date of Public
Act 96-124), with any fire protection district located in the
county. For the purposes of this Section, "transportation"
includes, but is not limited to, the construction,
maintenance, operation, and improvement of public highways,
any other purpose for which a county may expend funds under the
Illinois Highway Code, and passenger rail transportation. For
the purposes of this Section, "public facilities purposes"
includes, but is not limited to, the acquisition, development,
construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, improvement,
financing, architectural planning, and installation of capital

SB0329 - 34 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b

property and interest in real property required, or expected
to be required, in connection with the public facilities, for
use by the county for the furnishing of governmental services
to its citizens, including, but not limited to, museums and
nursing homes.
(j) The Department may promulgate rules to implement
Public Act 95-1002 only to the extent necessary to apply the
existing rules for the Special County Retailers' Occupation
Tax for Public Safety to this new purpose for public
facilities.

Sec. 5-1006.8. County Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax
Law.
(a) This Section may be referred to as the County Cannabis
Retailers' Occupation Tax Law. The corporate authorities of
any county may, by ordinance, impose a tax upon all persons
engaged in the business of selling cannabis, other than
cannabis purchased under the Compassionate Use of Medical
Cannabis Program Act, at retail in the county on the gross
receipts from these sales made in the course of that business.

SB0329 - 35 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
If imposed, the tax shall be imposed only in 0.25% increments.
The tax rate may not exceed: (i) 3.75% of the gross receipts of
sales made in unincorporated areas of the county; and (ii) 3%
of the gross receipts of sales made in a municipality located
in the county. The tax imposed under this Section and all civil
penalties that may be assessed as an incident of the tax shall
be collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer and
enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties due
hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights
to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax or penalty under this Section. In the
administration of and compliance with this Section, the
Department of Revenue and persons who are subject to this
Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and
definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
as are described in Sections 1, 1a, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m,
1n, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other
than the State rate of tax), 2a, 2b, 2c, 2i, 3 (except as to
the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a,

Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act

SB0329 - 36 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
as fully as if those provisions were set forth in this Section.
(b) Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating that
tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with any State tax that
sellers are required to collect.
(c) Whenever the Department of Revenue determines that a
refund should be made under this Section to a claimant instead
of issuing a credit memorandum, the Department of Revenue
shall notify the State Comptroller, who shall cause the order
to be drawn for the amount specified and to the person named in
the notification from the Department of Revenue.
(d) The Department of Revenue shall immediately pay over
to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and
penalties collected hereunder for deposit into the Local
Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax Trust Fund.
(e) On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department of Revenue shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller the amount of money to be disbursed from the Local
Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax Trust Fund to counties from
which retailers have paid taxes or penalties under this
Section during the second preceding calendar month. The amount
to be paid to each county shall be the amount (not including
credit memoranda) collected under this Section from sales made
in the county during the second preceding calendar month, plus

SB0329 - 37 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
an amount the Department of Revenue determines is necessary to
offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to a different
taxing body, and not including an amount equal to the amount of
refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by the
Department on behalf of such county, and not including any
amount that the Department determines is necessary to offset
any amounts that were payable to a different taxing body but
were erroneously paid to the county, less 1% 1.5% of the
remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the counties, shall
prepare and certify the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt by the
Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the counties
and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund provided for in
this Section to be given to the Comptroller by the Department,
the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the
respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained
in the certification.
(f) An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a
tax under this Section or effecting a change in the rate
thereof that is adopted on or after June 25, 2019 (the
effective date of Public Act 101-27) and for which a certified
copy is filed with the Department on or before April 1, 2020
shall be administered and enforced by the Department beginning

SB0329 - 38 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
on July 1, 2020. For ordinances filed with the Department
after April 1, 2020, an ordinance or resolution imposing or
discontinuing a tax under this Section or effecting a change
in the rate thereof shall either (i) be adopted and a certified
copy thereof filed with the Department on or before the first
day of April, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of July
next following the adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and
a certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or
before the first day of October, whereupon the Department
shall proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of the
first day of January next following the adoption and filing.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section to the
contrary, if an ordinance or resolution imposing a tax under
this Section was adopted on or before October 1, 2020 and a
certified copy thereof was filed with the Department of
Revenue on or before November 1, 2020, then the Department
shall proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of May

Sec. 5-1007. Home Rule County Service Occupation Tax Law.
The corporate authorities of a home rule county may impose a
tax upon all persons engaged, in such county, in the business

SB0329 - 39 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
of making sales of service at the same rate of tax imposed
pursuant to Section 5-1006 of the selling price of all
tangible personal property transferred by such servicemen
either in the form of tangible personal property or in the form
of real estate as an incident to a sale of service. If imposed,
such tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after
September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be imposed on
tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under
this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
purposes. If the county does not have an airport-related
purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. The county must comply
with the certification requirements for airport-related
purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for
so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b)
and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The changes made
to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 101st General
Assembly are a denial and limitation of home rule powers and
functions under subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of
the Illinois Constitution. The tax imposed by a home rule

may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
of registration which is issued by the Department to a
retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or under the
Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit such registrant to
engage in a business which is taxable under any ordinance or
resolution enacted pursuant to this Section without
registering separately with the Department under such
ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
Section the Department and persons who are subject to this
Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in
respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate of
tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to the
taxing county), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which
the tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in that Section

SB0329 - 41 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
8 shall be the taxing county), 9 (except as to the disposition
of taxes and penalties collected, and except that the returned
merchandise credit for this county tax may not be taken
against any State tax, and except that the retailer's discount
is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject
to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49

Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
set forth herein.
No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to
this Section unless such county also imposes a tax at the same
rate pursuant to Section 5-1006.
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
their serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately
stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be
stated in combination, in a single amount, with State tax
which servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service
Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracket schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing

SB0329 - 42 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in such
notification from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by
the State Treasurer out of the home rule county retailers'
occupation tax fund or the Local Government Aviation Trust
Fund, as appropriate.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties collected
hereunder for deposit into the Home Rule County Retailers'
Occupation Tax Fund. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation
fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, shall be immediately
paid over by the Department to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, for deposit into the Local Government
Aviation Trust Fund. The Department shall only pay moneys into
the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund under this Section
for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for

SB0329 - 43 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
sales within a STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to named counties, the
counties to be those from which suppliers and servicemen have
paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the
second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
county shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda and
not including taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel
sold on or after December 1, 2019) collected hereunder during
the second preceding calendar month by the Department, and not
including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during
the second preceding calendar month by the Department on
behalf of such county, and not including any amounts that are
transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1% 1.5% of the
remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the counties, shall
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt, by the
Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the counties
and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund provided for in
this Section to be given to the Comptroller by the Department,
the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the

SB0329 - 44 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained
in such certification.
In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
paragraph, an allocation shall be made in each year to each
county which received more than $500,000 in disbursements
under the preceding paragraph in the preceding calendar year.
The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the average
monthly distribution made to each such county under the
preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar year
(excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The distribution
made in March of each year subsequent to the year in which an
allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the
preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount allocated
and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding calendar
year. The Department shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller for disbursement the allocations made in
accordance with this paragraph.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
business which under the Constitution of the United States may
not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax
hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be
adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the Department
on or before the first day of June, whereupon the Department
shall proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of the

SB0329 - 45 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b

8-11-1.7, 8-11-5, and 8-11-23 as follows:
(65 ILCS 5/8-11-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-1)
Sec. 8-11-1. Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act. The corporate authorities of a home rule municipality may
impose a tax upon all persons engaged in the business of
selling tangible personal property, other than an item of
tangible personal property titled or registered with an agency
of this State's government, at retail in the municipality on
the gross receipts from these sales made in the course of such
business. If imposed, the tax shall only be imposed in 1/4%
increments. On and after September 1, 1991, this additional
tax may not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed at
the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the
0% rate imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed
on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is expended
for airport-related purposes. If a municipality does not have
an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel

SB0329 - 47 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. Each
municipality must comply with the certification requirements
for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,
"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
municipality. The changes made to this Section by this
amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly are a denial and
limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection
(g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
The tax imposed by a home rule municipality under this Section
and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident of
the tax shall be collected and enforced by the State
Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration that is
issued by the Department to a retailer under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a
business that is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
enacted pursuant to this Section without registering
separately with the Department under such ordinance or
resolution or under this Section. The Department shall have
full power to administer and enforce this Section; to collect
all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account

SB0329 - 48 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
administration of, and compliance with, this Section the
Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers
and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties and definitions of terms,
and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
Sections 1, 1a, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-65
(in respect to all provisions therein other than the State
rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
penalties collected, and except that the retailer's discount
is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject
to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j,

Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
set forth herein.
No tax may be imposed by a home rule municipality under
this Section unless the municipality also imposes a tax at the
same rate under Section 8-11-5 of this Act.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating that
tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers

SB0329 - 49 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the home rule municipal retailers' occupation
tax fund or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as
appropriate.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall immediately pay over to the State Treasurer,
ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties collected
hereunder for deposit into the Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
Occupation Tax Fund. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation
fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, shall be immediately
paid over by the Department to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, for deposit into the Local Government
Aviation Trust Fund. The Department shall only pay moneys into
the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund under this Section
for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order

SB0329 - 50 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
the municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid
taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the
second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
municipality shall be the amount (not including credit
memoranda and not including taxes and penalties collected on
aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019) collected
hereunder during the second preceding calendar month by the
Department plus an amount the Department determines is
necessary to offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to
a different taxing body, and not including an amount equal to
the amount of refunds made during the second preceding
calendar month by the Department on behalf of such
municipality, and not including any amount that the Department
determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were
payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously paid
to the municipality, and not including any amounts that are
transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1% 1.5% of the

SB0329 - 51 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt by the
Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the
municipalities and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by
the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
directions contained in the certification.
In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
paragraph and in order to mitigate delays caused by
distribution procedures, an allocation shall, if requested, be
made within 10 days after January 14, 1991, and in November of
1991 and each year thereafter, to each municipality that
received more than $500,000 during the preceding fiscal year,
(July 1 through June 30) whether collected by the municipality
or disbursed by the Department as required by this Section.
Within 10 days after January 14, 1991, participating
municipalities shall notify the Department in writing of their
intent to participate. In addition, for the initial
distribution, participating municipalities shall certify to
the Department the amounts collected by the municipality for
each month under its home rule occupation and service

SB0329 - 52 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
occupation tax during the period July 1, 1989 through June 30,
1990. The allocation within 10 days after January 14, 1991,
shall be in an amount equal to the monthly average of these
amounts, excluding the 2 months of highest receipts. The
monthly average for the period of July 1, 1990 through June 30,
1991 will be determined as follows: the amounts collected by
the municipality under its home rule occupation and service
occupation tax during the period of July 1, 1990 through
September 30, 1990, plus amounts collected by the Department
and paid to such municipality through June 30, 1991, excluding
the 2 months of highest receipts. The monthly average for each
subsequent period of July 1 through June 30 shall be an amount
equal to the monthly distribution made to each such
municipality under the preceding paragraph during this period,
excluding the 2 months of highest receipts. The distribution
made in November 1991 and each year thereafter under this
paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
amount allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the
preceding period of July 1 through June 30. The Department
shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller for disbursement
the allocations made in accordance with this paragraph.
For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit
whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of coal or
other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail at the
place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is
extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to

SB0329 - 53 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale
in interstate or foreign commerce.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business which under the Constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax
hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be
adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the Department
on or before the first day of June, whereupon the Department
shall proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of the
first day of September next following the adoption and filing.
Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance or resolution imposing
or discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a change in
the rate thereof shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof
filed with the Department on or before the first day of July,
whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer and
enforce this Section as of the first day of October next
following such adoption and filing. Beginning January 1, 1993,
an ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax
hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be
adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the Department
on or before the first day of October, whereupon the
Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this

SB0329 - 54 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Section as of the first day of January next following the
adoption and filing. However, a municipality located in a
county with a population in excess of 3,000,000 that elected
to become a home rule unit at the general primary election in
1994 may adopt an ordinance or resolution imposing the tax
under this Section and file a certified copy of the ordinance
or resolution with the Department on or before July 1, 1994.
The Department shall then proceed to administer and enforce
this Section as of October 1, 1994. Beginning April 1, 1998, an
ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax
hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall
either (i) be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with
the Department on or before the first day of April, whereupon
the Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
Section as of the first day of July next following the adoption
and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a certified copy thereof
filed with the Department on or before the first day of
October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce this Section as of the first day of January next
following the adoption and filing.
When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
municipality under this Section, the Department shall increase
or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to offset any
misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.

Any unobligated balance remaining in the Municipal
Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund on December 31, 1989, which
fund was abolished by Public Act 85-1135, and all receipts of
municipal tax as a result of audits of liability periods prior
to January 1, 1990, shall be paid into the Local Government Tax
Fund for distribution as provided by this Section prior to the
enactment of Public Act 85-1135. All receipts of municipal tax
as a result of an assessment not arising from an audit, for
liability periods prior to January 1, 1990, shall be paid into
the Local Government Tax Fund for distribution before July 1,
1990, as provided by this Section prior to the enactment of

Sec. 8-11-1.3. Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home
rule municipality may impose a tax upon all persons engaged in

SB0329 - 56 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
the business of selling tangible personal property, other than
on an item of tangible personal property which is titled and
registered by an agency of this State's Government, at retail
in the municipality for expenditure on public infrastructure
or for property tax relief or both as defined in Section
8-11-1.2 if approved by referendum as provided in Section
8-11-1.1, of the gross receipts from such sales made in the
course of such business. If the tax is approved by referendum
on or after July 14, 2010 (the effective date of Public Act
96-1057), the corporate authorities of a non-home rule
municipality may, until July 1, 2030, use the proceeds of the
tax for expenditure on municipal operations, in addition to or
in lieu of any expenditure on public infrastructure or for
property tax relief. The tax imposed may not be more than 1%
and may be imposed only in 1/4% increments. The tax may not be
imposed on tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate
under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate
imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed
on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is expended

fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
municipality. The tax imposed by a municipality pursuant to
this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State
Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration which
is issued by the Department to a retailer under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act shall permit such retailer to engage in a
business which is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
enacted pursuant to this Section without registering
separately with the Department under such ordinance or
resolution or under this Section. The Department shall have

set forth herein.
No municipality may impose a tax under this Section unless
the municipality also imposes a tax at the same rate under
Section 8-11-1.4 of this Code.
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the

retailers' occupation tax fund or the Local Government
Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.

forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as
trustee, all taxes and penalties collected hereunder for
deposit into the Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation
Tax Fund. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold
on or after December 1, 2019, shall be immediately paid over by

memoranda and not including taxes and penalties collected on
aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019) collected
hereunder during the second preceding calendar month by the
Department plus an amount the Department determines is
necessary to offset any amounts which were erroneously paid to
a different taxing body, and not including an amount equal to
the amount of refunds made during the second preceding
calendar month by the Department on behalf of such
municipality, and not including any amount which the
Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts which
were payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously
paid to the municipality, and not including any amounts that
are transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1% 1.5% of
the remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the
Tax Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt, by the
Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the
municipalities and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund

SB0329 - 61 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by
the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
directions contained in such certification.
For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit
whose tax is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer of coal
or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail at the
place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is
extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
interstate or foreign commerce.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business which under the constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
municipality under this Section, the Department shall increase
or decrease such amount by an amount necessary to offset any
misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.
The Department of Revenue shall implement Public Act
91-649 so as to collect the tax on and after January 1, 2002.
As used in this Section, "municipal" and "municipality"

SB0329 - 62 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b

incorporated town which has superseded a civil township.

(65 ILCS 5/8-11-1.4) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-1.4)
Sec. 8-11-1.4. Non-Home Rule Municipal Service Occupation
Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home rule
municipality may impose a tax upon all persons engaged, in
such municipality, in the business of making sales of service
for expenditure on public infrastructure or for property tax
relief or both as defined in Section 8-11-1.2 if approved by
referendum as provided in Section 8-11-1.1, of the selling
price of all tangible personal property transferred by such
servicemen either in the form of tangible personal property or
in the form of real estate as an incident to a sale of service.
If the tax is approved by referendum on or after July 14, 2010
(the effective date of Public Act 96-1057), the corporate
authorities of a non-home rule municipality may, until
December 31, 2020, use the proceeds of the tax for expenditure
on municipal operations, in addition to or in lieu of any
expenditure on public infrastructure or for property tax
relief. The tax imposed may not be more than 1% and may be

SB0329 - 63 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
imposed only in 1/4% increments. The tax may not be imposed on
tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under
this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
December 1, 2019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
purposes. If a municipality does not have an airport-related
purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
aviation fuel is excluded from the tax. Each municipality must
comply with the certification requirements for airport-related
purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act. For purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes"
has the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State
Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for
so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b)
and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the municipality. The tax
imposed by a municipality pursuant to this Section and all
civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof
shall be collected and enforced by the State Department of
Revenue. The certificate of registration which is issued by
the Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit
such registrant to engage in a business which is taxable under
any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section
without registering separately with the Department under such
ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department

SB0329 - 64 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
provided, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
Section the Department and persons who are subject to this
Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in
respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate of
tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to the
taxing municipality), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to
which the tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in that
Section 8 shall be the taxing municipality), 9 (except as to
the disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except
that the returned merchandise credit for this municipal tax
may not be taken against any State tax, and except that the
retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation
fuel that are subject to the revenue use requirements of 49
U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 10, 11, 12 (except the
reference therein to Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference to the State shall mean
the taxing municipality), the first paragraph of Section 15,

SB0329 - 65 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and
Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully
as if those provisions were set forth herein.
No municipality may impose a tax under this Section unless
the municipality also imposes a tax at the same rate under
Section 8-11-1.3 of this Code.
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
their serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately
stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be
stated in combination, in a single amount, with State tax
which servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service
Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracket schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in such
notification from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by
the State Treasurer out of the municipal retailers' occupation
tax fund or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as
appropriate.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties collected

SB0329 - 66 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
hereunder for deposit into the municipal retailers' occupation
tax fund. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold
on or after December 1, 2019, shall be immediately paid over by
the Department to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee,
for deposit into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund. The
Department shall only pay moneys into the Local Government
Aviation Trust Fund under this Section for so long as the
revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
47133 are binding on the municipality.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
the municipalities to be those from which suppliers and
servicemen have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the
Department during the second preceding calendar month. The
amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount (not
including credit memoranda and not including taxes and

SB0329 - 67 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
penalties collected on aviation fuel sold on or after December
1, 2019) collected hereunder during the second preceding
calendar month by the Department, and not including an amount
equal to the amount of refunds made during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of such
municipality, and not including any amounts that are
transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1% 1.5% of the
remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt, by the
Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the
municipalities, the General Revenue Fund, and the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund provided for in this
Section to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the
Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the
respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained
in such certification.
The Department of Revenue shall implement Public Act
91-649 so as to collect the tax on and after January 1, 2002.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business which under the constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.

provisions of Division 11-74.4 of this Code may, by passage of
an ordinance, impose a tax upon all persons engaged in the
business of selling tangible personal property, other than on
an item of tangible personal property that is titled and
registered by an agency of this State's Government, at retail
in the municipality. This tax may not be imposed on tangible

imposed, the tax shall only be imposed in .25% increments of
the gross receipts from such sales made in the course of
business. Any tax imposed by a municipality under this Section
and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident
thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State
Department of Revenue. An ordinance imposing a tax hereunder

remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt by the
Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the
municipalities, the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund,
and the General Revenue Fund, provided for in this Section to
be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller
shall cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts
in accordance with the directions contained in the
certification.
When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
municipality under this Section, the Department shall increase
or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to offset any
misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business which under the constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.

Sec. 8-11-5. Home Rule Municipal Service Occupation Tax
Act. The corporate authorities of a home rule municipality may
impose a tax upon all persons engaged, in such municipality,
in the business of making sales of service at the same rate of
tax imposed pursuant to Section 8-11-1, of the selling price
of all tangible personal property transferred by such
servicemen either in the form of tangible personal property or
in the form of real estate as an incident to a sale of service.
If imposed, such tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments.
On and after September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be
imposed on tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate
under the Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed
under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly).
Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax may not be imposed on
sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is expended for
airport-related purposes. If a municipality does not have an
airport-related purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel
tax revenue, then aviation fuel shall be excluded from tax.
Each municipality must comply with the certification
requirements for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this
Section, "airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed
in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exception
for aviation fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are

SB0329 - 82 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
binding on the State. The changes made to this Section by this
amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly are a denial and
limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection
(g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
The tax imposed by a home rule municipality pursuant to this
Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State
Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration which
is issued by the Department to a retailer under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act
shall permit such registrant to engage in a business which is
taxable under any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to
this Section without registering separately with the
Department under such ordinance or resolution or under this
Section. The Department shall have full power to administer
and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties
due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected
in the manner hereinafter provided, and to determine all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
and compliance with, this Section the Department and persons
who are subject to this Section shall have the same rights,
remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties and definitions of terms, and employ the same modes
of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3

SB0329 - 83 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein other than
the State rate of tax), 4 (except that the reference to the
State shall be to the taxing municipality), 5, 7, 8 (except
that the jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to the
extent indicated in that Section 8 shall be the taxing
municipality), 9 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
penalties collected, and except that the returned merchandise
credit for this municipal tax may not be taken against any
State tax, and except that the retailer's discount is not
allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject to the
revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
47133), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any
reference to the State shall mean the taxing municipality),
the first paragraph of Section 15, 16, 17 (except that credit
memoranda issued hereunder may not be used to discharge any
State tax liability), 18, 19 and 20 of the Service Occupation
Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act, as fully as if those provisions were set forth herein.
No tax may be imposed by a home rule municipality pursuant
to this Section unless such municipality also imposes a tax at
the same rate pursuant to Section 8-11-1 of this Act.
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
their serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately
stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be

SB0329 - 84 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
stated in combination, in a single amount, with State tax
which servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service
Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracket schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in such
notification from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by
the State Treasurer out of the home rule municipal retailers'
occupation tax fund or the Local Government Aviation Trust
Fund, as appropriate.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties collected
hereunder for deposit into the Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
Occupation Tax Fund. Taxes and penalties collected on aviation
fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, shall be immediately
paid over by the Department to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, for deposit into the Local Government
Aviation Trust Fund. The Department shall only pay moneys into
the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund under this Section
for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the municipality.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,

SB0329 - 85 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
the municipalities to be those from which suppliers and
servicemen have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the
Department during the second preceding calendar month. The
amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount (not
including credit memoranda and not including taxes and
penalties collected on aviation fuel sold on or after December
1, 2019) collected hereunder during the second preceding
calendar month by the Department, and not including an amount
equal to the amount of refunds made during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of such
municipality, and not including any amounts that are
transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1% 1.5% of the
remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall

SB0329 - 86 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt, by the
Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the
municipalities and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by
the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
directions contained in such certification.
In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
paragraph and in order to mitigate delays caused by
distribution procedures, an allocation shall, if requested, be
made within 10 days after January 14, 1991, and in November of
1991 and each year thereafter, to each municipality that
received more than $500,000 during the preceding fiscal year,
(July 1 through June 30) whether collected by the municipality
or disbursed by the Department as required by this Section.
Within 10 days after January 14, 1991, participating
municipalities shall notify the Department in writing of their
intent to participate. In addition, for the initial
distribution, participating municipalities shall certify to
the Department the amounts collected by the municipality for
each month under its home rule occupation and service
occupation tax during the period July 1, 1989 through June 30,
1990. The allocation within 10 days after January 14, 1991,
shall be in an amount equal to the monthly average of these

SB0329 - 87 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
amounts, excluding the 2 months of highest receipts. Monthly
average for the period of July 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991
will be determined as follows: the amounts collected by the
municipality under its home rule occupation and service
occupation tax during the period of July 1, 1990 through
September 30, 1990, plus amounts collected by the Department
and paid to such municipality through June 30, 1991, excluding
the 2 months of highest receipts. The monthly average for each
subsequent period of July 1 through June 30 shall be an amount
equal to the monthly distribution made to each such
municipality under the preceding paragraph during this period,
excluding the 2 months of highest receipts. The distribution
made in November 1991 and each year thereafter under this
paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
amount allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the
preceding period of July 1 through June 30. The Department
shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller for disbursement
the allocations made in accordance with this paragraph.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business which under the constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax
hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be
adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the Department
on or before the first day of June, whereupon the Department

SB0329 - 88 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
shall proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of the
first day of September next following such adoption and
filing. Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance or resolution
imposing or discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a
change in the rate thereof shall be adopted and a certified
copy thereof filed with the Department on or before the first
day of July, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of
October next following such adoption and filing. Beginning
January 1, 1993, an ordinance or resolution imposing or
discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a change in the
rate thereof shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof
filed with the Department on or before the first day of
October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce this Section as of the first day of January next
following such adoption and filing. However, a municipality
located in a county with a population in excess of 3,000,000
that elected to become a home rule unit at the general primary
election in 1994 may adopt an ordinance or resolution imposing
the tax under this Section and file a certified copy of the
ordinance or resolution with the Department on or before July
1, 1994. The Department shall then proceed to administer and
enforce this Section as of October 1, 1994. Beginning April 1,
1998, an ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the
tax hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall
either (i) be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with

SB0329 - 89 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
the Department on or before the first day of April, whereupon
the Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
Section as of the first day of July next following the adoption
and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a certified copy thereof
filed with the Department on or before the first day of
October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce this Section as of the first day of January next
following the adoption and filing.
Any unobligated balance remaining in the Municipal
Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund on December 31, 1989, which
fund was abolished by Public Act 85-1135, and all receipts of
municipal tax as a result of audits of liability periods prior
to January 1, 1990, shall be paid into the Local Government Tax
Fund, for distribution as provided by this Section prior to
the enactment of Public Act 85-1135. All receipts of municipal
tax as a result of an assessment not arising from an audit, for
liability periods prior to January 1, 1990, shall be paid into
the Local Government Tax Fund for distribution before July 1,
1990, as provided by this Section prior to the enactment of
Public Act 85-1135, and on and after July 1, 1990, all such
receipts shall be distributed as provided in Section 6z-18 of
the State Finance Act.
As used in this Section, "municipal" and "municipality"
means a city, village or incorporated town, including an
incorporated town which has superseded a civil township.

Sec. 8-11-23. Municipal Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax
Law.
(a) This Section may be referred to as the Municipal
Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax Law. The corporate
authorities of any municipality may, by ordinance, impose a
tax upon all persons engaged in the business of selling
cannabis, other than cannabis purchased under the
Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act, at retail
in the municipality on the gross receipts from these sales
made in the course of that business. If imposed, the tax may
not exceed 3% of the gross receipts from these sales and shall
only be imposed in 1/4% increments. The tax imposed under this
Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an
incident of the tax shall be collected and enforced by the
Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue shall have
full power to administer and enforce this Section; to collect
all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account
of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this Section.
In the administration of and compliance with this Section, the

SB0329 - 91 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers
and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties and definitions of terms,
and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
Sections 1, 1a, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-65
(in respect to all provisions therein other than the State
rate of tax), 2a, 2b, 2c, 2i, 3 (except as to the disposition
of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,

Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully
as if those provisions were set forth herein.
(b) Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating that
tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with any State tax that
sellers are required to collect.
(c) Whenever the Department of Revenue determines that a
refund should be made under this Section to a claimant instead
of issuing a credit memorandum, the Department of Revenue
shall notify the State Comptroller, who shall cause the order
to be drawn for the amount specified and to the person named in
the notification from the Department of Revenue.
(d) The Department of Revenue shall immediately pay over

SB0329 - 92 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and
penalties collected hereunder for deposit into the Local
Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax Trust Fund.
(e) On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department of Revenue shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller the amount of money to be disbursed from the Local
Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax Trust Fund to
municipalities from which retailers have paid taxes or
penalties under this Section during the second preceding
calendar month. The amount to be paid to each municipality
shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected
under this Section from sales made in the municipality during
the second preceding calendar month, plus an amount the
Department of Revenue determines is necessary to offset any
amounts that were erroneously paid to a different taxing body,
and not including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
during the second preceding calendar month by the Department
on behalf of such municipality, and not including any amount
that the Department determines is necessary to offset any
amounts that were payable to a different taxing body but were
erroneously paid to the municipality, less 1% 1.5% of the
remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund

SB0329 - 93 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt by the
Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the
municipalities and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by
the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
directions contained in the certification.
(f) An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a
tax under this Section or effecting a change in the rate
thereof that is adopted on or after June 25, 2019 (the
effective date of Public Act 101-27) and for which a certified
copy is filed with the Department on or before April 1, 2020
shall be administered and enforced by the Department beginning
on July 1, 2020. For ordinances filed with the Department
after April 1, 2020, an ordinance or resolution imposing or
discontinuing a tax under this Section or effecting a change
in the rate thereof shall either (i) be adopted and a certified
copy thereof filed with the Department on or before the first
day of April, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of July
next following the adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and
a certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or
before the first day of October, whereupon the Department
shall proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of the
first day of January next following the adoption and filing.

Section 20. The Metro-East Park and Recreation District
Act is amended by changing Section 30 as follows:
(70 ILCS 1605/30)
Sec. 30. Taxes.
(a) The board shall impose a tax upon all persons engaged
in the business of selling tangible personal property, other
than personal property titled or registered with an agency of
this State's government, at retail in the District on the
gross receipts from the sales made in the course of business.
This tax shall be imposed only at the rate of one-tenth of one
per cent.
This additional tax may not be imposed on tangible
personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under this
amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly). Beginning
December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020, this tax is not
imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
expended for airport-related purposes. If the District does
not have an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates
aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel shall be
excluded from tax. The board must comply with the
certification requirements for airport-related purposes under
Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For
purposes of this Act, "airport-related purposes" has the

SB0329 - 95 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act.
Beginning January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on sales of
aviation fuel for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
District. The tax imposed by the Board under this Section and
all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident of the
tax shall be collected and enforced by the Department of
Revenue. The certificate of registration that is issued by the
Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a business that is
taxable without registering separately with the Department
under an ordinance or resolution under this Section. The
Department has full power to administer and enforce this
Section, to collect all taxes and penalties due under this
Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in the
manner provided in this Section, and to determine all rights
to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of a tax or penalty under this Section. In the
administration of and compliance with this Section, the
Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
(i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties, and definitions of
terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of procedure as are
prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m,
1n, 2, 2-5, 2-5.5, 2-10 (in respect to all provisions

SB0329 - 96 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
contained in those Sections other than the State rate of tax),
2-12, 2-15 through 2-70, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 (except provisions
relating to transaction returns and quarter monthly payments,
and except that the retailer's discount is not allowed for
taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5,
5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c,
6d, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13 of the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act and the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as
if those provisions were set forth in this Section.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
sellers' tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed
schedules as the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the State Metro-East Park and Recreation
District Fund or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as
appropriate.

SB0329 - 97 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
(b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
upon all persons engaged, in the District, in the business of
making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
the District as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
not be imposed on tangible personal property taxed at the 1%
rate under the Service Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate
imposed under this amendatory Act of the 102nd General
Assembly). Beginning December 1, 2019 and through December 31,
2020, this tax may not be imposed on sales of aviation fuel
unless the tax revenue is expended for airport-related
purposes. If the District does not have an airport-related
purpose to which it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then
aviation fuel shall be excluded from tax. The board must
comply with the certification requirements for airport-related
purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act. For purposes of this Act, "airport-related purposes" has
the meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance
Act. Beginning January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on
sales of aviation fuel for so long as the revenue use
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are
binding on the District. The tax imposed under this subsection
and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident
thereof shall be collected and enforced by the Department of
Revenue. The Department has full power to administer and

SB0329 - 98 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties
due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected
in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
and compliance with this subsection, the Department and
persons who are subject to this paragraph shall (i) have the
same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and
duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and
definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2 (except that the
reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a
place of business in this State shall mean the District), 2a,
2b, 2c, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein
other than the State rate of tax), 4 (except that the reference
to the State shall be to the District), 5, 7, 8 (except that
the jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to the extent
indicated in that Section 8 shall be the District), 9 (except
as to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and
except that the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes
paid on aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 10,
11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference
to the State shall mean the District), Sections 15, 16, 17, 18,

SB0329 - 99 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
19 and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and the Uniform
Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
set forth herein.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State tax that servicemen are
authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may
prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the State Metro-East Park and Recreation
District Fund or the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as
appropriate.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize
the board to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
business which under the Constitution of the United States may
not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall immediately pay over to the State Treasurer,

SB0329 - 100 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties collected
under this Section to be deposited into the State Metro-East
Park and Recreation District Fund, which shall be an
unappropriated trust fund held outside of the State treasury.
Taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold on or
after December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020, shall be
immediately paid over by the Department to the State
Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, for deposit into the Local
Government Aviation Trust Fund. The Department shall only pay
moneys into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund under
this Act for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
District.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district. The Department shall make
this certification only if the Metro East Park and Recreation
District imposes a tax on real property as provided in the
definition of "local sales taxes" under the Innovation
Development and Economy Act.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,

SB0329 - 101 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money pursuant to Section 35 of
this Act to the District from which retailers have paid taxes
or penalties to the Department during the second preceding
calendar month. The amount to be paid to the District shall be
the amount (not including credit memoranda and not including
taxes and penalties collected on aviation fuel sold on or
after December 1, 2019 and through December 31, 2020)
collected under this Section during the second preceding
calendar month by the Department plus an amount the Department
determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were
erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not including
(i) an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the
second preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of
the District, (ii) any amount that the Department determines
is necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a
different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
District, (iii) any amounts that are transferred to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund, and (iv) 1% 1.5% of the remainder, which
the Department shall transfer into the Tax Compliance and
Administration Fund. The Department, at the time of each
monthly disbursement to the District, shall prepare and
certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be transferred
into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund under this
subsection. Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of

SB0329 - 102 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
the disbursement certification to the District and the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund provided for in this
Section to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the
Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the
respective amounts in accordance with directions contained in
the certification.
(d) For the purpose of determining whether a tax
authorized under this Section is applicable, a retail sale by
a producer of coal or another mineral mined in Illinois is a
sale at retail at the place where the coal or other mineral
mined in Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph
does not apply to coal or another mineral when it is delivered
or shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the United States
Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
(e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
authorize the board to impose a tax upon the privilege of
engaging in any business that under the Constitution of the
United States may not be made the subject of taxation by this
State.
(f) An ordinance imposing a tax under this Section or an
ordinance extending the imposition of a tax to an additional
county or counties shall be certified by the board and filed
with the Department of Revenue either (i) on or before the
first day of April, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of July next

SB0329 - 103 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
following the filing; or (ii) on or before the first day of
October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce the tax as of the first day of January next
following the filing.
(g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement
to the District under this Section, the Department shall
increase or decrease the amounts by an amount necessary to
offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset
amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the
previous 6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.

Section 25. The Local Mass Transit District Act is amended
by changing Section 5.01 as follows:
(70 ILCS 3610/5.01) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 355.01)
Sec. 5.01. Metro East Mass Transit District; use and
occupation taxes.
(a) The Board of Trustees of any Metro East Mass Transit
District may, by ordinance adopted with the concurrence of
two-thirds of the then trustees, impose throughout the
District any or all of the taxes and fees provided in this
Section. Except as otherwise provided, all taxes and fees
imposed under this Section shall be used only for public mass
transportation systems, and the amount used to provide mass

SB0329 - 104 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
transit service to unserved areas of the District shall be in
the same proportion to the total proceeds as the number of
persons residing in the unserved areas is to the total
population of the District. Except as otherwise provided in
this Act, taxes imposed under this Section and civil penalties
imposed incident thereto shall be collected and enforced by
the State Department of Revenue. The Department shall have the
power to administer and enforce the taxes and to determine all
rights for refunds for erroneous payments of the taxes.
(b) The Board may impose a Metro East Mass Transit
District Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in
the business of selling tangible personal property at retail
in the district at a rate of 1/4 of 1%, or as authorized under
subsection (d-5) of this Section, of the gross receipts from
the sales made in the course of such business within the
district, except that the rate of tax imposed under this
Section on sales of aviation fuel on or after December 1, 2019
shall be 0.25% in Madison County unless the Metro-East Mass
Transit District in Madison County has an "airport-related
purpose" and any additional amount authorized under subsection
(d-5) is expended for airport-related purposes. If there is no
airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel tax revenue is
dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from any additional
amount authorized under subsection (d-5). The rate in St.
Clair County shall be 0.25% unless the Metro-East Mass Transit
District in St. Clair County has an "airport-related purpose"

SB0329 - 105 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax on aviation fuel
imposed in that County is expended for airport-related
purposes. If there is no airport-related purpose to which
aviation fuel tax revenue is dedicated, then aviation fuel is
excluded from the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax.
The Board must comply with the certification requirements
for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,
"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
District.
The tax imposed under this Section and all civil penalties
that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected
and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The
Department shall have full power to administer and enforce
this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties so collected
in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
and compliance with, this Section, the Department and persons
who are subject to this Section shall have the same rights,
remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms and

SB0329 - 106 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65
(in respect to all provisions therein other than the State
rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
penalties collected, and except that the retailer's discount
is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject
to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k,
5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
set forth herein.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the Section may
reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability
hereunder by separately stating the tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be stated in combination, in a single
amount, with State taxes that sellers are required to collect
under the Use Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket
schedules as the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the Metro East Mass Transit District tax fund

SB0329 - 107 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
established under paragraph (h) of this Section or the Local
Government Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall
also be imposed under subsections (c) and (d) of this Section.
For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
under this Section is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer
of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail
at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
interstate or foreign commerce.
No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection
on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of
another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this
State.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
the Metro East Mass Transit District to impose a tax upon the
privilege of engaging in any business which under the
Constitution of the United States may not be made the subject
of taxation by this State.
(c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a Metro
East Mass Transit District Service Occupation Tax shall also
be imposed upon all persons engaged, in the district, in the
business of making sales of service, who, as an incident to

SB0329 - 108 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal
property within the District, either in the form of tangible
personal property or in the form of real estate as an incident
to a sale of service. The tax rate shall be 1/4%, or as
authorized under subsection (d-5) of this Section, of the
selling price of tangible personal property so transferred
within the district, except that the rate of tax imposed in
these Counties under this Section on sales of aviation fuel on
or after December 1, 2019 shall be 0.25% in Madison County
unless the Metro-East Mass Transit District in Madison County
has an "airport-related purpose" and any additional amount
authorized under subsection (d-5) is expended for
airport-related purposes. If there is no airport-related
purpose to which aviation fuel tax revenue is dedicated, then
aviation fuel is excluded from any additional amount
authorized under subsection (d-5). The rate in St. Clair
County shall be 0.25% unless the Metro-East Mass Transit
District in St. Clair County has an "airport-related purpose"
and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax on aviation fuel is
expended for airport-related purposes. If there is no
airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel tax revenue is
dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from the additional
0.50% of the 0.75% tax.
The Board must comply with the certification requirements
for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,

SB0329 - 109 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
District.
The tax imposed under this paragraph and all civil
penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
collected and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The
Department shall have full power to administer and enforce
this paragraph; to collect all taxes and penalties due
hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights
to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
and compliance with this paragraph, the Department and persons
who are subject to this paragraph shall have the same rights,
remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms and
employ the same modes of procedure as are prescribed in
Sections 1a-1, 2 (except that the reference to State in the
definition of supplier maintaining a place of business in this
State shall mean the Authority), 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in
respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate of
tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to the
Authority), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which the

SB0329 - 110 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in that Section 8
shall be the District), 9 (except as to the disposition of
taxes and penalties collected, and except that the returned
merchandise credit for this tax may not be taken against any
State tax, and except that the retailer's discount is not
allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject to the
revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
47133), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any
reference to the State shall mean the District), the first
paragraph of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service
Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and
Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were set forth
herein.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their
serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the
tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State tax that
servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax
Act, in accordance with such bracket schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the

SB0329 - 111 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the Metro East Mass Transit District tax fund
established under paragraph (h) of this Section or the Local
Government Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
the District to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business which under the Constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
(d) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a Metro
East Mass Transit District Use Tax shall also be imposed upon
the privilege of using, in the district, any item of tangible
personal property that is purchased outside the district at
retail from a retailer, and that is titled or registered with
an agency of this State's government, at a rate of 1/4%, or as
authorized under subsection (d-5) of this Section, of the
selling price of the tangible personal property within the
District, as "selling price" is defined in the Use Tax Act. The
tax shall be collected from persons whose Illinois address for
titling or registration purposes is given as being in the
District. The tax shall be collected by the Department of
Revenue for the Metro East Mass Transit District. The tax must
be paid to the State, or an exemption determination must be
obtained from the Department of Revenue, before the title or
certificate of registration for the property may be issued.
The tax or proof of exemption may be transmitted to the

SB0329 - 112 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Department by way of the State agency with which, or the State
officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
titled or registered if the Department and the State agency or
State officer determine that this procedure will expedite the
processing of applications for title or registration.
The Department shall have full power to administer and
enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties and
interest due hereunder; to dispose of taxes, penalties and
interest so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
to determine all rights to credit memoranda or refunds arising
on account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty or
interest hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance
with, this paragraph, the Department and persons who are
subject to this paragraph shall have the same rights,
remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms and
employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
Sections 2 (except the definition of "retailer maintaining a
place of business in this State"), 3 through 3-80 (except
provisions pertaining to the State rate of tax, and except
provisions concerning collection or refunding of the tax by
retailers), 4, 11, 12, 12a, 14, 15, 19 (except the portions
pertaining to claims by retailers and except the last
paragraph concerning refunds), 20, 21 and 22 of the Use Tax Act
and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, that

SB0329 - 113 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
are not inconsistent with this paragraph, as fully as if those
provisions were set forth herein.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the Metro East Mass Transit District tax fund
established under paragraph (h) of this Section.
(d-5) (A) The county board of any county participating in
the Metro East Mass Transit District may authorize, by
ordinance, a referendum on the question of whether the tax
rates for the Metro East Mass Transit District Retailers'
Occupation Tax, the Metro East Mass Transit District Service
Occupation Tax, and the Metro East Mass Transit District Use
Tax for the District should be increased from 0.25% to 0.75%.
Upon adopting the ordinance, the county board shall certify
the proposition to the proper election officials who shall
submit the proposition to the voters of the District at the
next election, in accordance with the general election law.
The proposition shall be in substantially the following
form:

SB0329 - 114 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
East Mass Transit District Use Tax be increased from 0.25%
to 0.75%?
(B) Two thousand five hundred electors of any Metro East
Mass Transit District may petition the Chief Judge of the
Circuit Court, or any judge of that Circuit designated by the
Chief Judge, in which that District is located to cause to be
submitted to a vote of the electors the question whether the
tax rates for the Metro East Mass Transit District Retailers'
Occupation Tax, the Metro East Mass Transit District Service
Occupation Tax, and the Metro East Mass Transit District Use
Tax for the District should be increased from 0.25% to 0.75%.
Upon submission of such petition the court shall set a

hearing on the sufficiency thereof. Notice of the filing of
such petition and of such date shall be given in writing to the
District and the County Clerk at least 7 days before the date
of such hearing.
If such petition is found sufficient, the court shall
enter an order to submit that proposition at the next

The form of the petition shall be in substantially the
following form: To the Circuit Court of the County of (name of

SB0329 - 115 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
following proposition:
Shall the tax rates for the Metro East Mass Transit
District Retailers' Occupation Tax, the Metro East Mass
Transit District Service Occupation Tax, and the Metro
East Mass Transit District Use Tax be increased from 0.25%
to 0.75%?
Name Address, with Street and Number.
...................... ........................................
...................... ........................................
(C) The votes shall be recorded as "YES" or "NO". If a
majority of all votes cast on the proposition are for the
increase in the tax rates, the Metro East Mass Transit
District shall begin imposing the increased rates in the
District, and the Department of Revenue shall begin collecting
the increased amounts, as provided under this Section. An
ordinance imposing or discontinuing a tax hereunder or
effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be adopted and a
certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or before
the first day of October, whereupon the Department shall
proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of the first
day of January next following the adoption and filing, or on or
before the first day of April, whereupon the Department shall
proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of the first
day of July next following the adoption and filing.
(D) If the voters have approved a referendum under this
subsection, before November 1, 1994, to increase the tax rate

SB0329 - 116 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
under this subsection, the Metro East Mass Transit District
Board of Trustees may adopt by a majority vote an ordinance at
any time before January 1, 1995 that excludes from the rate
increase tangible personal property that is titled or
registered with an agency of this State's government. The
ordinance excluding titled or registered tangible personal
property from the rate increase must be filed with the
Department at least 15 days before its effective date. At any
time after adopting an ordinance excluding from the rate
increase tangible personal property that is titled or
registered with an agency of this State's government, the
Metro East Mass Transit District Board of Trustees may adopt
an ordinance applying the rate increase to that tangible
personal property. The ordinance shall be adopted, and a
certified copy of that ordinance shall be filed with the
Department, on or before October 1, whereupon the Department
shall proceed to administer and enforce the rate increase
against tangible personal property titled or registered with
an agency of this State's government as of the following
January 1. After December 31, 1995, any reimposed rate
increase in effect under this subsection shall no longer apply
to tangible personal property titled or registered with an
agency of this State's government. Beginning January 1, 1996,
the Board of Trustees of any Metro East Mass Transit District
may never reimpose a previously excluded tax rate increase on
tangible personal property titled or registered with an agency

SB0329 - 117 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
of this State's government. After July 1, 2004, if the voters
have approved a referendum under this subsection to increase
the tax rate under this subsection, the Metro East Mass
Transit District Board of Trustees may adopt by a majority
vote an ordinance that excludes from the rate increase
tangible personal property that is titled or registered with
an agency of this State's government. The ordinance excluding
titled or registered tangible personal property from the rate
increase shall be adopted, and a certified copy of that
ordinance shall be filed with the Department on or before
October 1, whereupon the Department shall administer and
enforce this exclusion from the rate increase as of the
following January 1, or on or before April 1, whereupon the
Department shall administer and enforce this exclusion from
the rate increase as of the following July 1. The Board of
Trustees of any Metro East Mass Transit District may never
reimpose a previously excluded tax rate increase on tangible
personal property titled or registered with an agency of this
State's government.
(d-6) If the Board of Trustees of any Metro East Mass
Transit District has imposed a rate increase under subsection
(d-5) and filed an ordinance with the Department of Revenue
excluding titled property from the higher rate, then that
Board may, by ordinance adopted with the concurrence of
two-thirds of the then trustees, impose throughout the
District a fee. The fee on the excluded property shall not

SB0329 - 118 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
exceed $20 per retail transaction or an amount equal to the
amount of tax excluded, whichever is less, on tangible
personal property that is titled or registered with an agency
of this State's government. Beginning July 1, 2004, the fee
shall apply only to titled property that is subject to either
the Metro East Mass Transit District Retailers' Occupation Tax
or the Metro East Mass Transit District Service Occupation
Tax. No fee shall be imposed or collected under this
subsection on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a
resident of another state if that motor vehicle will not be
titled in this State.
(d-7) Until June 30, 2004, if a fee has been imposed under
subsection (d-6), a fee shall also be imposed upon the
privilege of using, in the district, any item of tangible
personal property that is titled or registered with any agency
of this State's government, in an amount equal to the amount of
the fee imposed under subsection (d-6).
(d-7.1) Beginning July 1, 2004, any fee imposed by the
Board of Trustees of any Metro East Mass Transit District
under subsection (d-6) and all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident of the fees shall be collected and
enforced by the State Department of Revenue. Reference to
"taxes" in this Section shall be construed to apply to the
administration, payment, and remittance of all fees under this
Section. For purposes of any fee imposed under subsection
(d-6), 4% of the fee, penalty, and interest received by the

SB0329 - 119 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Department in the first 12 months that the fee is collected and
enforced by the Department and 2% of the fee, penalty, and
interest following the first 12 months (except the amount
collected on aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019)
shall be deposited into the Tax Compliance and Administration
Fund and shall be used by the Department, subject to
appropriation, to cover the costs of the Department. No
retailers' discount shall apply to any fee imposed under
subsection (d-6).
(d-8) No item of titled property shall be subject to both
the higher rate approved by referendum, as authorized under
subsection (d-5), and any fee imposed under subsection (d-6)
or (d-7).
(d-9) (Blank).
(d-10) (Blank).
(e) A certificate of registration issued by the State
Department of Revenue to a retailer under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act
shall permit the registrant to engage in a business that is
taxed under the tax imposed under paragraphs (b), (c) or (d) of
this Section and no additional registration shall be required
under the tax. A certificate issued under the Use Tax Act or
the Service Use Tax Act shall be applicable with regard to any
tax imposed under paragraph (c) of this Section.

(g) Any ordinance imposing or discontinuing any tax under

SB0329 - 120 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
this Section shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof
filed with the Department on or before June 1, whereupon the
Department of Revenue shall proceed to administer and enforce
this Section on behalf of the Metro East Mass Transit District
as of September 1 next following such adoption and filing.
Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance or resolution imposing
or discontinuing the tax hereunder shall be adopted and a

the first day of July, whereupon the Department shall proceed
to administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of
October next following such adoption and filing. Beginning
January 1, 1993, except as provided in subsection (d-5) of
this Section, an ordinance or resolution imposing or
discontinuing the tax hereunder shall be adopted and a

(h) Except as provided in subsection (d-7.1), the State
Department of Revenue shall, upon collecting any taxes as
provided in this Section, pay the taxes over to the State
Treasurer as trustee for the District. The taxes shall be held

SB0329 - 121 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
in a trust fund outside the State Treasury. If an
airport-related purpose has been certified, taxes and
penalties collected in St. Clair County on aviation fuel sold
on or after December 1, 2019 from the 0.50% of the 0.75% rate
shall be immediately paid over by the Department to the State
Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, for deposit into the Local
Government Aviation Trust Fund. The Department shall only pay
moneys into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund under
this Act for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
District.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district. The Department shall make
this certification only if the local mass transit district
imposes a tax on real property as provided in the definition of
"local sales taxes" under the Innovation Development and
Economy Act.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the State
Department of Revenue shall prepare and certify to the

SB0329 - 122 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Comptroller of the State of Illinois the amount to be paid to
the District, which shall be the amount (not including credit
memoranda and not including taxes and penalties collected on
aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019 that are
deposited into the Local Government Aviation Trust Fund)
collected under this Section during the second preceding
calendar month by the Department plus an amount the Department
determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were
erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not including
any amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the
second preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of
the District, and not including any amount that the Department
determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were
payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously paid
to the District, and less any amounts that are transferred to
the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1% 1.5% of the remainder,
which the Department shall transfer into the Tax Compliance
and Administration Fund. The Department, at the time of each
monthly disbursement to the District, shall prepare and
certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be transferred
into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund under this
subsection. Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of
the certification of the amount to be paid to the District and
the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund, the Comptroller
shall cause an order to be drawn for payment for the amount in
accordance with the direction in the certification.

Section 30. The Regional Transportation Authority Act is
amended by changing Section 4.03 as follows:
(70 ILCS 3615/4.03) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 704.03)
Sec. 4.03. Taxes.
(a) In order to carry out any of the powers or purposes of
the Authority, the Board may by ordinance adopted with the
concurrence of 12 of the then Directors, impose throughout the
metropolitan region any or all of the taxes provided in this
Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Act, taxes
imposed under this Section and civil penalties imposed
incident thereto shall be collected and enforced by the State
Department of Revenue. The Department shall have the power to
administer and enforce the taxes and to determine all rights
for refunds for erroneous payments of the taxes. Nothing in
Public Act 95-708 is intended to invalidate any taxes
currently imposed by the Authority. The increased vote
requirements to impose a tax shall only apply to actions taken
after January 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act
95-708).
(b) The Board may impose a public transportation tax upon
all persons engaged in the metropolitan region in the business
of selling at retail motor fuel for operation of motor

SB0329 - 124 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
vehicles upon public highways. The tax shall be at a rate not
to exceed 5% of the gross receipts from the sales of motor fuel
in the course of the business. As used in this Act, the term
"motor fuel" shall have the same meaning as in the Motor Fuel
Tax Law. The Board may provide for details of the tax. The
provisions of any tax shall conform, as closely as may be
practicable, to the provisions of the Municipal Retailers
Occupation Tax Act, including without limitation, conformity
to penalties with respect to the tax imposed and as to the
powers of the State Department of Revenue to promulgate and
enforce rules and regulations relating to the administration
and enforcement of the provisions of the tax imposed, except
that reference in the Act to any municipality shall refer to
the Authority and the tax shall be imposed only with regard to
receipts from sales of motor fuel in the metropolitan region,
at rates as limited by this Section.
(c) In connection with the tax imposed under paragraph (b)
of this Section, the Board may impose a tax upon the privilege
of using in the metropolitan region motor fuel for the
operation of a motor vehicle upon public highways, the tax to
be at a rate not in excess of the rate of tax imposed under
paragraph (b) of this Section. The Board may provide for
details of the tax.
(d) The Board may impose a motor vehicle parking tax upon
the privilege of parking motor vehicles at off-street parking
facilities in the metropolitan region at which a fee is

SB0329 - 125 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
charged, and may provide for reasonable classifications in and
exemptions to the tax, for administration and enforcement
thereof and for civil penalties and refunds thereunder and may
provide criminal penalties thereunder, the maximum penalties
not to exceed the maximum criminal penalties provided in the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. The Authority may collect and
enforce the tax itself or by contract with any unit of local
government. The State Department of Revenue shall have no
responsibility for the collection and enforcement unless the
Department agrees with the Authority to undertake the
collection and enforcement. As used in this paragraph, the
term "parking facility" means a parking area or structure
having parking spaces for more than 2 vehicles at which motor
vehicles are permitted to park in return for an hourly, daily,
or other periodic fee, whether publicly or privately owned,
but does not include parking spaces on a public street, the use
of which is regulated by parking meters.
(e) The Board may impose a Regional Transportation
Authority Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged
in the business of selling tangible personal property at
retail in the metropolitan region. In Cook County, the tax
rate shall be 1.25% of the gross receipts from sales of
tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under
this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly), and 1% of
the gross receipts from other taxable sales made in the course

SB0329 - 126 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
of that business. In DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
counties, the tax rate shall be 0.75% of the gross receipts
from all taxable sales made in the course of that business. The
rate of tax imposed in DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
counties under this Section on sales of aviation fuel on or
after December 1, 2019 shall, however, be 0.25% unless the
Regional Transportation Authority in DuPage, Kane, Lake,
McHenry, and Will counties has an "airport-related purpose"
and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax on aviation fuel is
expended for airport-related purposes. If there is no
airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel tax revenue is
dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from the additional
0.50% of the 0.75% tax. The tax imposed under this Section and
all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident
thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State
Department of Revenue. The Department shall have full power to
administer and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and
penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account
of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
administration of, and compliance with this Section, the
Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers, and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions,
and definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of

SB0329 - 127 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d,
1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions
therein other than the State rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to
the disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except
that the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on
aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c,
5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9,
10, 11, 12, and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and
Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully
as if those provisions were set forth herein.
The Board and DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
counties must comply with the certification requirements for
airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,
"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
Authority.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the tax
as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination in a single amount with State taxes that sellers
are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, under any

SB0329 - 128 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
bracket schedules the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax
fund established under paragraph (n) of this Section or the
Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
If a tax is imposed under this subsection (e), a tax shall
also be imposed under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section.
For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
under this Section is applicable, a retail sale by a producer
of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail
at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
interstate or foreign commerce.
No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection
on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of
another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this
State.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize

SB0329 - 129 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
the Regional Transportation Authority to impose a tax upon the
privilege of engaging in any business that under the
Constitution of the United States may not be made the subject
of taxation by this State.
(f) If a tax has been imposed under paragraph (e), a
Regional Transportation Authority Service Occupation Tax shall
also be imposed upon all persons engaged, in the metropolitan
region in the business of making sales of service, who as an
incident to making the sales of service, transfer tangible
personal property within the metropolitan region, either in
the form of tangible personal property or in the form of real
estate as an incident to a sale of service. In Cook County, the
tax rate shall be: (1) 1.25% of the serviceman's cost price of
food prepared for immediate consumption and transferred
incident to a sale of service subject to the service
occupation tax by an entity licensed under the Hospital
Licensing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized
Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, the ID/DD Community
Care Act, or the MC/DD Act that is located in the metropolitan
region; (2) 1.25% of the selling price of tangible personal
property taxed at the 1% rate under the Service Occupation Tax
Act (or at the 0% rate imposed under this amendatory Act of the
102nd General Assembly); and (3) 1% of the selling price from
other taxable sales of tangible personal property transferred.
In DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties, the rate
shall be 0.75% of the selling price of all tangible personal

SB0329 - 130 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
property transferred. The rate of tax imposed in DuPage, Kane,
Lake, McHenry, and Will counties under this Section on sales
of aviation fuel on or after December 1, 2019 shall, however,
be 0.25% unless the Regional Transportation Authority in
DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties has an
"airport-related purpose" and the additional 0.50% of the
0.75% tax on aviation fuel is expended for airport-related
purposes. If there is no airport-related purpose to which
aviation fuel tax revenue is dedicated, then aviation fuel is
excluded from the additional 0.5% of the 0.75% tax.
The Board and DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
counties must comply with the certification requirements for
airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,
"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
Authority.
The tax imposed under this paragraph and all civil
penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
collected and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The
Department shall have full power to administer and enforce
this paragraph; to collect all taxes and penalties due
hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties collected in the
manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights to

SB0329 - 131 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment
of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of and
compliance with this paragraph, the Department and persons who
are subject to this paragraph shall have the same rights,
remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, and be
subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and definitions of terms,
and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all
provisions therein other than the State rate of tax), 4
(except that the reference to the State shall be to the
Authority), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which the
tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in that Section 8
shall be the Authority), 9 (except as to the disposition of
taxes and penalties collected, and except that the returned
merchandise credit for this tax may not be taken against any
State tax, and except that the retailer's discount is not
allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject to the
revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
47133), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any
reference to the State shall mean the Authority), the first
paragraph of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 of the Service
Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and
Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were set forth
herein.

SB0329 - 132 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their
serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the
tax as an additional charge, that charge may be stated in
combination in a single amount with State tax that servicemen
are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, under
any bracket schedules the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax
fund established under paragraph (n) of this Section or the
Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
the Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business that under the Constitution of the United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
(g) If a tax has been imposed under paragraph (e), a tax
shall also be imposed upon the privilege of using in the
metropolitan region, any item of tangible personal property
that is purchased outside the metropolitan region at retail
from a retailer, and that is titled or registered with an
agency of this State's government. In Cook County, the tax

SB0329 - 133 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
rate shall be 1% of the selling price of the tangible personal
property, as "selling price" is defined in the Use Tax Act. In
DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties, the tax rate
shall be 0.75% of the selling price of the tangible personal
property, as "selling price" is defined in the Use Tax Act. The
tax shall be collected from persons whose Illinois address for
titling or registration purposes is given as being in the
metropolitan region. The tax shall be collected by the
Department of Revenue for the Regional Transportation
Authority. The tax must be paid to the State, or an exemption
determination must be obtained from the Department of Revenue,
before the title or certificate of registration for the
property may be issued. The tax or proof of exemption may be
transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
which, or the State officer with whom, the tangible personal
property must be titled or registered if the Department and
the State agency or State officer determine that this
procedure will expedite the processing of applications for
title or registration.
The Department shall have full power to administer and
enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties, and
interest due hereunder; to dispose of taxes, penalties, and
interest collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to
determine all rights to credit memoranda or refunds arising on
account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty, or interest
hereunder. In the administration of and compliance with this

SB0329 - 134 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
paragraph, the Department and persons who are subject to this
paragraph shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers, and duties, and be subject to the same
conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions,
exemptions, and definitions of terms and employ the same modes
of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 2 (except the
definition of "retailer maintaining a place of business in
this State"), 3 through 3-80 (except provisions pertaining to
the State rate of tax, and except provisions concerning
collection or refunding of the tax by retailers), 4, 11, 12,
12a, 14, 15, 19 (except the portions pertaining to claims by
retailers and except the last paragraph concerning refunds),
20, 21, and 22 of the Use Tax Act, and are not inconsistent
with this paragraph, as fully as if those provisions were set
forth herein.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax
fund established under paragraph (n) of this Section.
(h) The Authority may impose a replacement vehicle tax of
$50 on any passenger car as defined in Section 1-157 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code purchased within the metropolitan region

SB0329 - 135 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
by or on behalf of an insurance company to replace a passenger
car of an insured person in settlement of a total loss claim.
The tax imposed may not become effective before the first day
of the month following the passage of the ordinance imposing
the tax and receipt of a certified copy of the ordinance by the
Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue shall collect
the tax for the Authority in accordance with Sections 3-2002
and 3-2003 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes collected
hereunder.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the
Department of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order
transferred, and the Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR
Bonds Revenue Fund the local sales tax increment, as defined
in the Innovation Development and Economy Act, collected under
this Section during the second preceding calendar month for
sales within a STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to the Authority. The
amount to be paid to the Authority shall be the amount
collected hereunder during the second preceding calendar month
by the Department, less any amount determined by the

SB0329 - 136 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Department to be necessary for the payment of refunds, and
less any amounts that are transferred to the STAR Bonds
Revenue Fund. Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller
of the disbursement certification to the Authority provided
for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by the
Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn
for that amount in accordance with the directions contained in
the certification.
(i) The Board may not impose any other taxes except as it
may from time to time be authorized by law to impose.
(j) A certificate of registration issued by the State
Department of Revenue to a retailer under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act
shall permit the registrant to engage in a business that is
taxed under the tax imposed under paragraphs (b), (e), (f) or
(g) of this Section and no additional registration shall be
required under the tax. A certificate issued under the Use Tax
Act or the Service Use Tax Act shall be applicable with regard
to any tax imposed under paragraph (c) of this Section.
(k) The provisions of any tax imposed under paragraph (c)
of this Section shall conform as closely as may be practicable
to the provisions of the Use Tax Act, including without
limitation conformity as to penalties with respect to the tax
imposed and as to the powers of the State Department of Revenue
to promulgate and enforce rules and regulations relating to
the administration and enforcement of the provisions of the

SB0329 - 137 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
tax imposed. The taxes shall be imposed only on use within the
metropolitan region and at rates as provided in the paragraph.
(l) The Board in imposing any tax as provided in
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, shall, after seeking
the advice of the State Department of Revenue, provide means
for retailers, users or purchasers of motor fuel for purposes
other than those with regard to which the taxes may be imposed
as provided in those paragraphs to receive refunds of taxes
improperly paid, which provisions may be at variance with the
refund provisions as applicable under the Municipal Retailers
Occupation Tax Act. The State Department of Revenue may
provide for certificates of registration for users or
purchasers of motor fuel for purposes other than those with
regard to which taxes may be imposed as provided in paragraphs
(b) and (c) of this Section to facilitate the reporting and
nontaxability of the exempt sales or uses.
(m) Any ordinance imposing or discontinuing any tax under
this Section shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof
filed with the Department on or before June 1, whereupon the
Department of Revenue shall proceed to administer and enforce
this Section on behalf of the Regional Transportation
Authority as of September 1 next following such adoption and
filing. Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance or resolution
imposing or discontinuing the tax hereunder shall be adopted
and a certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or
before the first day of July, whereupon the Department shall

SB0329 - 138 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
proceed to administer and enforce this Section as of the first
day of October next following such adoption and filing.
Beginning January 1, 1993, an ordinance or resolution
imposing, increasing, decreasing, or discontinuing the tax
hereunder shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed
with the Department, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of the
first month to occur not less than 60 days following such
adoption and filing. Any ordinance or resolution of the
Authority imposing a tax under this Section and in effect on
August 1, 2007 shall remain in full force and effect and shall
be administered by the Department of Revenue under the terms
and conditions and rates of tax established by such ordinance
or resolution until the Department begins administering and
enforcing an increased tax under this Section as authorized by
Public Act 95-708. The tax rates authorized by Public Act
95-708 are effective only if imposed by ordinance of the
Authority.
(n) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (n),
the State Department of Revenue shall, upon collecting any
taxes as provided in this Section, pay the taxes over to the
State Treasurer as trustee for the Authority. The taxes shall
be held in a trust fund outside the State Treasury. If an
airport-related purpose has been certified, taxes and
penalties collected in DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will
counties on aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019

SB0329 - 139 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
from the 0.50% of the 0.75% rate shall be immediately paid over
by the Department to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as
trustee, for deposit into the Local Government Aviation Trust
Fund. The Department shall only pay moneys into the Local
Government Aviation Trust Fund under this Act for so long as
the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the Authority. On or before the
25th day of each calendar month, the State Department of
Revenue shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller of the
State of Illinois and to the Authority (i) the amount of taxes
collected in each county other than Cook County in the
metropolitan region, (not including, if an airport-related
purpose has been certified, the taxes and penalties collected
from the 0.50% of the 0.75% rate on aviation fuel sold on or
after December 1, 2019 that are deposited into the Local
Government Aviation Trust Fund) (ii) the amount of taxes
collected within the City of Chicago, and (iii) the amount
collected in that portion of Cook County outside of Chicago,
each amount less the amount necessary for the payment of
refunds to taxpayers located in those areas described in items
(i), (ii), and (iii), and less 1% 1.5% of the remainder, which
shall be transferred from the trust fund into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the Authority, shall
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund

SB0329 - 140 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b

Sec. 4. Taxes.
(a) The board of commissioners of any county water
commission may, by ordinance, impose throughout the territory
of the commission any or all of the taxes provided in this
Section for its corporate purposes. However, no county water
commission may impose any such tax unless the commission
certifies the proposition of imposing the tax to the proper
election officials, who shall submit the proposition to the
voters residing in the territory at an election in accordance
with the general election law, and the proposition has been
approved by a majority of those voting on the proposition.
The proposition shall be in the form provided in Section 5
or shall be substantially in the following form:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Shall the (insert corporate
name of county water commission) YES
impose (state type of tax or ------------------------
taxes to be imposed) at the NO
rate of 1/4%?
-------------------------------------------------------------

SB0329 - 143 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
Taxes imposed under this Section and civil penalties
imposed incident thereto shall be collected and enforced by
the State Department of Revenue. The Department shall have the
power to administer and enforce the taxes and to determine all
rights for refunds for erroneous payments of the taxes.
(b) The board of commissioners may impose a County Water
Commission Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged
in the business of selling tangible personal property at
retail in the territory of the commission at a rate of 1/4% of
the gross receipts from the sales made in the course of such
business within the territory. Beginning January 1, 2021, this
tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel for so long as the
revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C.
47133 are binding on the District.
The tax imposed under this paragraph and all civil
penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
collected and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The
Department shall have full power to administer and enforce
this paragraph; to collect all taxes and penalties due
hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights
to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
and compliance with, this paragraph, the Department and
persons who are subject to this paragraph shall have the same
rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties,

SB0329 - 144 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
and be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions
of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure, as are
prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2
through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other than
the State rate of tax except that tangible personal property
taxed at the 1% rate under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
shall not be subject to tax hereunder), 2c, 3 (except as to the
disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on
aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019 and through
December 31, 2020), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i,
5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 of
the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those
provisions were set forth herein.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their
seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the tax
as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State taxes that sellers
are required to collect under the Use Tax Act and under
subsection (e) of Section 4.03 of the Regional Transportation
Authority Act, in accordance with such bracket schedules as
the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be

SB0329 - 145 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of a county water commission tax fund
established under subsection (g) of this Section.
For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
under this paragraph is applicable, a retail sale by a
producer of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale
at retail at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not
apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped
by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so
that the sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a
sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall
also be imposed under subsections (c) and (d) of this Section.
No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection
on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of
another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this
State.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
a county water commission to impose a tax upon the privilege of
engaging in any business which under the Constitution of the
United States may not be made the subject of taxation by this

SB0329 - 146 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
State.
(c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
County Water Commission Service Occupation Tax shall also be
imposed upon all persons engaged, in the territory of the
commission, in the business of making sales of service, who,
as an incident to making the sales of service, transfer
tangible personal property within the territory. The tax rate
shall be 1/4% of the selling price of tangible personal
property so transferred within the territory. Beginning
January 1, 2021, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation
fuel for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C.
47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the District.
The tax imposed under this paragraph and all civil
penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
collected and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The
Department shall have full power to administer and enforce
this paragraph; to collect all taxes and penalties due
hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights
to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
and compliance with, this paragraph, the Department and
persons who are subject to this paragraph shall have the same
rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties,
and be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions

SB0329 - 147 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure, as are
prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2 (except that the reference to
State in the definition of supplier maintaining a place of
business in this State shall mean the territory of the
commission), 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions
therein other than the State rate of tax except that tangible
personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the Service
Occupation Tax Act shall not be subject to tax hereunder), 4
(except that the reference to the State shall be to the
territory of the commission), 5, 7, 8 (except that the
jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to the extent
indicated in that Section 8 shall be the commission), 9
(except as to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected
and except that the returned merchandise credit for this tax
may not be taken against any State tax, and except that the
retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation
fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019 and through December 31,
2020), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any
reference to the State shall mean the territory of the
commission), the first paragraph of Section 15, 15.5, 16, 17,
18, 19, and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act as fully as if
those provisions were set forth herein.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their
serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the

SB0329 - 148 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State tax that
servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax
Act, and any tax for which servicemen may be liable under
subsection (f) of Section 4.03 of the Regional Transportation
Authority Act, in accordance with such bracket schedules as
the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of a county water commission tax fund
established under subsection (g) of this Section.
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
a county water commission to impose a tax upon the privilege of
engaging in any business which under the Constitution of the
United States may not be made the subject of taxation by the
State.
(d) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a tax
shall also be imposed upon the privilege of using, in the
territory of the commission, any item of tangible personal
property that is purchased outside the territory at retail
from a retailer, and that is titled or registered with an
agency of this State's government, at a rate of 1/4% of the

SB0329 - 149 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
selling price of the tangible personal property within the
territory, as "selling price" is defined in the Use Tax Act.
The tax shall be collected from persons whose Illinois address
for titling or registration purposes is given as being in the
territory. The tax shall be collected by the Department of
Revenue for a county water commission. The tax must be paid to
the State, or an exemption determination must be obtained from
the Department of Revenue, before the title or certificate of
registration for the property may be issued. The tax or proof
of exemption may be transmitted to the Department by way of the
State agency with which, or the State officer with whom, the
tangible personal property must be titled or registered if the
Department and the State agency or State officer determine
that this procedure will expedite the processing of
applications for title or registration.
The Department shall have full power to administer and
enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties, and
interest due hereunder; to dispose of taxes, penalties, and
interest so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
to determine all rights to credit memoranda or refunds arising
on account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty, or
interest hereunder. In the administration of and compliance
with this paragraph, the Department and persons who are
subject to this paragraph shall have the same rights,
remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, and be
subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,

SB0329 - 150 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and definitions of terms
and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
Sections 2 (except the definition of "retailer maintaining a
place of business in this State"), 3 through 3-80 (except
provisions pertaining to the State rate of tax, and except
provisions concerning collection or refunding of the tax by
retailers), 4, 11, 12, 12a, 14, 15, 19 (except the portions
pertaining to claims by retailers and except the last
paragraph concerning refunds), 20, 21, and 22 of the Use Tax
Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act
that are not inconsistent with this paragraph, as fully as if
those provisions were set forth herein.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of a county water commission tax fund
established under subsection (g) of this Section.
(e) A certificate of registration issued by the State
Department of Revenue to a retailer under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act
shall permit the registrant to engage in a business that is

of this Section and no additional registration shall be

SB0329 - 151 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
required under the tax. A certificate issued under the Use Tax
Act or the Service Use Tax Act shall be applicable with regard
to any tax imposed under subsection (c) of this Section.
(f) Any ordinance imposing or discontinuing any tax under
this Section shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof
filed with the Department on or before June 1, whereupon the
Department of Revenue shall proceed to administer and enforce
this Section on behalf of the county water commission as of
September 1 next following the adoption and filing. Beginning
January 1, 1992, an ordinance or resolution imposing or
discontinuing the tax hereunder shall be adopted and a
certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or before
the first day of July, whereupon the Department shall proceed
to administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of
October next following such adoption and filing. Beginning
January 1, 1993, an ordinance or resolution imposing or
discontinuing the tax hereunder shall be adopted and a
certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or before
the first day of October, whereupon the Department shall

As soon as possible after the first day of each month,

SB0329 - 152 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b

on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the State
Department of Revenue shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller of the State of Illinois the amount to be paid to
the commission, which shall be the amount (not including

made during the second preceding calendar month by the
Department on behalf of the commission, and not including any
amount that the Department determines is necessary to offset
any amounts that were payable to a different taxing body but
were erroneously paid to the commission, and less any amounts
that are transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1%
1.5% of the remainder, which shall be transferred into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
time of each monthly disbursement to the commission, shall

SB0329 - 153 - LRB103 25073 HLH 51408 b
prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be
transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund
under this subsection. Within 10 days after receipt by the
