| |||||||
1 | AN ACT concerning economic development.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the STAR | ||||||
5 | Bonds Financing Act.
| ||||||
6 | Section 5. Purpose. It is hereby found and declared that | ||||||
7 | the purpose of this Act is to promote, stimulate, and develop | ||||||
8 | the general and economic welfare of the State of Illinois and | ||||||
9 | its communities and to assist in the development and | ||||||
10 | redevelopment of major tourism, entertainment, retail, and | ||||||
11 | related destination projects within eligible areas of the | ||||||
12 | State, thereby creating new jobs, stimulating significant | ||||||
13 | capital investment, and promoting the general welfare of the | ||||||
14 | citizens of this State, by authorizing municipalities and | ||||||
15 | counties to issue sales tax and revenue (STAR) bonds for the | ||||||
16 | financing of STAR bond projects as defined in Section 10, and | ||||||
17 | to otherwise exercise the powers and authorities granted to | ||||||
18 | municipalities. It is further found and declared to be the | ||||||
19 | policy of the State, in the interest of promoting the health, | ||||||
20 | safety, morals, and general welfare of all the people of the | ||||||
21 | State, to provide incentives to create new job opportunities | ||||||
22 | and to promote major tourism, entertainment, retail, and | ||||||
23 | related destination projects within the State. It is further |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | found and declared: | ||||||
2 | (a) that as a result of the costs of land assemblage, | ||||||
3 | financing, infrastructure, and other project costs, the | ||||||
4 | private sector, without the assistance contemplated in | ||||||
5 | this Act, is unable to develop major tourism, | ||||||
6 | entertainment, retail, and related destination projects in | ||||||
7 | the State; | ||||||
8 | (b) that the type of projects for which this Act is | ||||||
9 | intended must be of a certain size, scope, and acreage and | ||||||
10 | have direct access to major highways, and must be developed | ||||||
11 | in a cohesive and comprehensive manner; | ||||||
12 | (c) that the eligible tracts of land, significant | ||||||
13 | portions of which are vacant and located in the 100-year | ||||||
14 | flood plain, present unique development obstacles and are | ||||||
15 | more likely to remain underutilized and undeveloped, or | ||||||
16 | developed in a piecemeal manner resulting in inefficient | ||||||
17 | and poorly planned developments that do not maximize job | ||||||
18 | creation, job retention, tourism, and tax revenue | ||||||
19 | generation within the State; | ||||||
20 | (d) that there are multiple eligible areas in the State | ||||||
21 | that could benefit from this Act; | ||||||
22 | (e) that municipalities of the State that already have | ||||||
23 | an enterprise zone in place have a sufficient tool to | ||||||
24 | encourage development and to preserve and enhance their | ||||||
25 | local tax bases and job opportunities and otherwise achieve | ||||||
26 | the purposes set forth in this Act; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (f) that investment in major tourism, entertainment, | ||||||
2 | retail, and related destination projects within the State | ||||||
3 | would stimulate economic activity in the State, including | ||||||
4 | the creation and maintenance of jobs, the creation of new | ||||||
5 | and lasting infrastructure and other improvements, and the | ||||||
6 | attraction and retention of interstate tourists and | ||||||
7 | entertainment events that generate significant economic | ||||||
8 | activity; | ||||||
9 | (g) that the continual encouragement, development, | ||||||
10 | growth, and expansion of major tourism, entertainment, | ||||||
11 | retail, and related destination projects within the State | ||||||
12 | requires a cooperative and continuous partnership between | ||||||
13 | government and the public sector; | ||||||
14 | (h) that the State has a responsibility to help create | ||||||
15 | a favorable climate for new and improved job opportunities | ||||||
16 | for its citizens and to increase the tax base of the State | ||||||
17 | and its political subdivisions by encouraging development | ||||||
18 | by the private sector of major tourism, entertainment, | ||||||
19 | retail, and related destination projects within the State; | ||||||
20 | (i) that the stagnation of local tax bases and the loss | ||||||
21 | of job opportunities within the State has persisted despite | ||||||
22 | efforts of State and local authorities and private | ||||||
23 | organizations to create major tourism, entertainment, | ||||||
24 | retail, and related destination projects within the State; | ||||||
25 | (j) that the stagnation of local tax bases and the | ||||||
26 | persistent loss of job opportunities in the State may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | continue and worsen if the State and its political | ||||||
2 | subdivisions are not able to provide additional incentives | ||||||
3 | to developers of major tourism, entertainment, retail, and | ||||||
4 | related destination projects; | ||||||
5 | (k) that the provision of additional incentives by the | ||||||
6 | State and its political subdivisions will relieve | ||||||
7 | conditions of unemployment, maintain existing levels of | ||||||
8 | employment, create new job opportunities, retain jobs | ||||||
9 | within the State, increase tourism and commerce within the | ||||||
10 | State, and increase the tax base of the State and its | ||||||
11 | political subdivisions; | ||||||
12 | (l) that the powers conferred by this Act promote and | ||||||
13 | protect the health, safety, morals, and welfare of the | ||||||
14 | State, and are for a public purpose and public use for | ||||||
15 | which public money and resources may be expended; and | ||||||
16 | (m) that the necessity in the public interest for the | ||||||
17 | provisions of this Act is hereby declared as a matter of | ||||||
18 | legislative determination.

11 | establish the STAR bond district.
| ||||||
12 | (1) A resolution to establish a STAR bond district | ||||||

15 | district is to be developed with one or more STAR bond | ||||||
16 | projects;
| ||||||
17 | (B) make findings that the STAR bond district is an | ||||||
18 | eligible area;
| ||||||
19 | (C) contain a STAR bond district plan that | ||||||
20 | identifies in a general manner the buildings and | ||||||
21 | facilities that are proposed to be constructed or | ||||||
22 | improved in subsequent STAR bond projects;
| ||||||
23 | (D) contain the legal description of the STAR bond | ||||||

3 | subsection (d).
| ||||||
4 | (2) If the resolution is not adopted by the political | ||||||
5 | subdivision within 60 days from the conclusion of the | ||||||
6 | public hearing, then the STAR bond district shall not be | ||||||
7 | established. | ||||||
8 | (3) Upon adoption of a resolution establishing a STAR | ||||||
9 | bond district, the political subdivision shall send a | ||||||
10 | certified copy of such resolution to the Department of | ||||||
11 | Revenue. | ||||||
12 | (c) Upon the establishment of a STAR bond district, the | ||||||
13 | STAR bond district and any STAR bond projects shall be governed | ||||||
14 | by a master development agreement between the political | ||||||
15 | subdivision and the master developer. A STAR bond district that | ||||||
16 | is partially outside the boundaries of a municipality shall | ||||||
17 | only require one master development agreement; the agreement | ||||||
18 | shall be between the municipality and the master developer. In | ||||||
19 | no event shall there be more than one master development | ||||||
20 | agreement governing the terms and conditions of a STAR bond | ||||||
21 | district.
| ||||||
22 | (d) Upon adoption of the resolution to establish a STAR | ||||||
23 | bond district, the political subdivision shall submit the | ||||||
24 | proposed STAR bond district to the Director for consideration. | ||||||
25 | The Director may only approve a STAR bond district if the | ||||||
26 | Director finds that: (i) the proposed STAR bond district is an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | eligible area, (ii) no portion of the proposed STAR bond | ||||||
2 | district is located within a municipality that has an | ||||||
3 | enterprise zone pursuant to the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act | ||||||
4 | within its municipal boundaries, (iii) the STAR bond district | ||||||
5 | plan includes a projected capital investment of at least | ||||||
6 | $300,000,000, (iv) the STAR bond district plan is reasonably | ||||||
7 | projected to produce at least $300,000,000 of annual gross | ||||||
8 | sales revenues and 1,000 new jobs, (v) the creation of the STAR | ||||||
9 | bond district and STAR bond district plan are not contrary to | ||||||
10 | the purpose of this Act or the public interest; and (vi) the | ||||||
11 | STAR bond district and STAR bond district plan meet any other | ||||||
12 | requirement that the Director deems appropriate. If a proposed | ||||||
13 | STAR bond district meets all of the foregoing criteria, the | ||||||
14 | Director shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of the | ||||||
15 | proposed STAR bond district. The Director may only approve one | ||||||
16 | STAR bond district within any projected market area. However, | ||||||
17 | the Director may approve additional STAR bond districts in a | ||||||
18 | single projected market area provided that the Director finds | ||||||
19 | that the additional STAR bond district will not thwart the | ||||||
20 | purposes of this Act.
The Director shall promptly send a copy | ||||||
21 | of its written findings and approval or denial of a STAR bond | ||||||
22 | district to the requesting political subdivision.
| ||||||
23 | Section 20. Approval of STAR bond projects. The governing | ||||||
24 | body of a political subdivision may establish one or more STAR | ||||||
25 | bond projects in any STAR bond district. A STAR bond project |
| |||||||

1 | which is partially outside the boundaries of a municipality | ||||||
2 | must also be approved by the governing body of the county by | ||||||
3 | resolution. | ||||||
4 | (a) After the establishment of a STAR bond district, the | ||||||
5 | master developer may propose one or more STAR bond projects to | ||||||
6 | a political subdivision and the master developer shall, in | ||||||
7 | cooperation with the political subdivision, prepare a STAR bond | ||||||
8 | project plan in consultation with the planning commission of | ||||||
9 | the political subdivision, if any. The STAR bond project plan | ||||||
10 | may be implemented in separate development stages.
| ||||||
11 | (b) Any political subdivision considering a STAR bond | ||||||
12 | project within a STAR bond district shall cause to be prepared | ||||||
13 | an independent feasibility study by a feasibility consultant | ||||||
14 | with copies provided to the Director and the Department of | ||||||
15 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity. The feasibility study shall | ||||||
16 | include the following:
| ||||||
17 | (1) the estimated amount of pledged STAR revenues | ||||||
18 | expected to be collected in each year through the maturity | ||||||
19 | date of the proposed STAR bonds;

10 | (11) an anticipated principal and interest payment | ||||||
11 | schedule on the STAR bonds.
| ||||||
12 | The feasibility consultant, along with the independent | ||||||
13 | economist and any other consultants commissioned to perform the | ||||||
14 | studies and other analysis required by the feasibility study, | ||||||
15 | shall be selected by mutual agreement of the Director and the | ||||||
16 | political subdivision. The consultants shall be jointly | ||||||
17 | retained by the Director and the political subdivision. | ||||||
18 | The failure to include all information enumerated in this | ||||||
19 | subsection in the feasibility study for a STAR bond project | ||||||
20 | shall not affect the validity of STAR bonds issued pursuant to | ||||||
21 | this Act.
| ||||||
22 | (c) If the political subdivision determines the STAR bond | ||||||
23 | project is feasible, the STAR bond project plan shall include: | ||||||
24 | (1) a summary of the feasibility study;
| ||||||

8 | political subdivision deems reasonable and necessary to | ||||||
9 | advise the public of the intent of the STAR bond project | ||||||
10 | plan. | ||||||
11 | (d) Before a political subdivision may hold a public | ||||||
12 | hearing to consider a STAR bond project plan, the Department of | ||||||
13 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity shall hold a regional public | ||||||
14 | meeting to discuss, evaluate, and review the merits of the STAR | ||||||
15 | bond project plan. The public meeting shall be held at the | ||||||
16 | county courthouse, or if the county courthouse is not | ||||||
17 | available, at such other place as may be convenient to the | ||||||
18 | citizens of the region and the public meeting shall be held | ||||||
19 | within 20 days after the receipt of the feasibility study by | ||||||
20 | the Director. Notice of the public meeting shall be delivered | ||||||

10 | STAR bond project to the local, regional, and State economies, | ||||||
11 | the proposed adverse impacts on similar businesses and projects | ||||||
12 | as well as municipalities within the market area and the net | ||||||
13 | effect of the proposed STAR bond project on the local, | ||||||
14 | regional, and State economies and the Director shall either | ||||||
15 | approve or deny the STAR bond project plan based on the | ||||||
16 | aforementioned criteria. | ||||||
17 | (f) Upon a finding by the planning and zoning commission of | ||||||
18 | the political subdivision that the STAR bond project plan is | ||||||
19 | consistent with the intent of the comprehensive plan for the | ||||||
20 | development of the political subdivision and upon issuance of | ||||||

10 | project to the political subdivision, unless the political | ||||||
11 | subdivision extends such maturity by resolution up to a maximum | ||||||
12 | of 35 years from such first distribution date. Any such | ||||||
13 | extension shall require the approval of the Director. In no | ||||||

17 | Section 25. Co-developers and sub-developers. Upon | ||||||
18 | approval of a STAR bond project by the political subdivision, | ||||||
19 | the master developer may, subject to the approval of the | ||||||
20 | Director and the political subdivision, develop the STAR bond | ||||||
21 | project on its own or it may develop the STAR bond project with | ||||||
22 | another developer, which may include an assignment or transfer | ||||||
23 | of development rights. | ||||||
24 | (a) A master developer may sell, lease, or otherwise convey | ||||||
25 | its property interest in the STAR bond project area to a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | co-developer or sub-developer. | ||||||
2 | (b) A master developer may enter into one or more | ||||||
3 | agreements with a co-developer or sub-developer in connection | ||||||
4 | with a STAR bond project, and the master developer may request | ||||||
5 | that the political subdivision become a party to the project | ||||||
6 | development agreement, or the master developer may request that | ||||||
7 | the political subdivision amend its master development | ||||||
8 | agreement to provide for certain terms and conditions that may | ||||||
9 | be related to the co-developer or sub-developer and the STAR | ||||||
10 | bond project. For any project development agreement which the | ||||||
11 | political subdivision would be a party or for any amendments to | ||||||
12 | the master development agreement, the terms and conditions must | ||||||
13 | be acceptable to both the master developer and the political | ||||||
14 | subdivision.
| ||||||

22 | Act. | ||||||
23 | (a) STAR bonds may be made payable, both as to principal | ||||||
24 | and interest, from the following revenues, which to the extent | ||||||
25 | pledged by each respective political subdivision or other |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | public entity for such purpose shall constitute pledged STAR | ||||||
2 | revenues:
| ||||||
3 | (1) revenues of the political subdivision derived from | ||||||
4 | or held in connection with the undertaking and carrying out | ||||||
5 | of any STAR bond project or projects under this Act;

15 | purposes contained in the special service area plan;
| ||||||
16 | (5) all of the State sales tax increment; | ||||||

| ||||||
20 | (b) The political subdivision may pledge the pledged STAR | ||||||
21 | revenues to the repayment of STAR bonds prior to, | ||||||
22 | simultaneously with, or subsequent to the issuance of the STAR | ||||||
23 | bonds.
| ||||||
24 | (c) Bonds issued as revenue bonds shall not be general | ||||||
25 | obligations of the political subdivision, nor in any event | ||||||
26 | shall they give rise to a charge against its general credit or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | taxing powers, or be payable out of any funds or properties | ||||||
2 | other than those set forth in subsection (a) and the bonds | ||||||
3 | shall so state on their face.
| ||||||
4 | (d) For each STAR bond project financed with STAR bonds | ||||||
5 | payable from the pledged STAR revenues, the political | ||||||
6 | subdivision shall prepare and submit to the Department of | ||||||
7 | Revenue by June 1 of each year a report describing the status | ||||||
8 | of the STAR bond project, any expenditures of the proceeds of | ||||||

19 | preceding calendar month by the Department from retailers and | ||||||
20 | servicemen on transactions at places of business located within | ||||||
21 | a STAR bond district in that municipality or county, plus an | ||||||
22 | amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any | ||||||
23 | amounts which were erroneously paid to a different taxing body, | ||||||
24 | and not including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made | ||||||
25 | during the second preceding calendar month by the Department, | ||||||
26 | and not including any amount which the Department determines is |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | necessary to offset any amounts which are payable to a | ||||||
2 | different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the | ||||||

4 | Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the | ||||||
5 | municipalities and counties, provided for in this Section to be | ||||||
6 | given to the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller | ||||||
7 | shall cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts | ||||||
8 | in accordance with the directions contained in such | ||||||

11 | municipality or county under this subsection, the Department | ||||||
12 | shall increase or decrease that amount by an amount necessary | ||||||
13 | to offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The | ||||||
14 | offset amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within | ||||||
15 | the 6 months preceding the time a misallocation is discovered.
| ||||||
16 | Section 35. Alternate bonds and general obligation bonds. A | ||||||
17 | political subdivision shall have the power to issue alternate | ||||||

21 | the Local Government Debt Reform Act. A political subdivision | ||||||
22 | shall have the power to issue general obligation bonds to | ||||||
23 | finance the undertaking, establishment, or redevelopment of | ||||||
24 | any STAR bond project on approval by the voters of the | ||||||
25 | political subdivision of a proposition authorizing the issue of |

| |||||||
1 | such bonds. | ||||||
2 | The full faith and credit of the State, any department, | ||||||
3 | authority, public corporation or quasi-public corporation of | ||||||
4 | the State, any State college or university, or any other public | ||||||
5 | agency created by the State shall not be pledged for any | ||||||

8 | of real property to a STAR bond district or any substantial | ||||||
9 | change to a STAR bond district plan shall be subject to the | ||||||

11 | required for the establishment of the STAR bond district | ||||||
12 | pursuant to this Act. | ||||||
13 | (a) The addition or removal of land to or from a STAR bond | ||||||
14 | district shall require the consent of the master developer of | ||||||
15 | the STAR bond district. | ||||||
16 | (b) Any land that is outside of, but is contiguous to an | ||||||
17 | established STAR bond district and is subsequently owned, | ||||||
18 | leased, or controlled by the master developer shall be added to | ||||||

20 | by approval of the political subdivision, provided that the | ||||||
21 | land becomes a part of a STAR bond project area.
| ||||||
22 | (c) If a political subdivision has undertaken a STAR bond | ||||||
23 | project within a STAR bond district, and the political | ||||||
24 | subdivision desires to subsequently remove more than a de | ||||||
25 | minimus amount of real property from the STAR bond district, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | then prior to any removal of property the political subdivision | ||||||
2 | must provide a revised feasibility study showing that the | ||||||
3 | pledged STAR revenues from the resulting STAR bond district | ||||||
4 | within which the STAR bond project is located are estimated to | ||||||
5 | be sufficient to pay the project costs. If the revenue from the | ||||||
6 | resulting STAR bond district is insufficient to pay the project | ||||||
7 | costs, then the property may not be removed from the STAR bond | ||||||
8 | district. Any removal of real property from a STAR bond | ||||||
9 | district shall be approved by a resolution of the governing | ||||||
10 | body of the political subdivision.
| ||||||

2 | increment and local sales tax increment from all taxpayers | ||||||
3 | within a STAR bond district to the bond trustee, escrow agent, | ||||||
4 | or paying agent for such bonds upon the written request of the | ||||||
5 | political subdivision on or before the 25th day of each month. | ||||||
6 | Such report shall provide a detailed allocation of State sales | ||||||
7 | tax increment and local sales tax increment from each local | ||||||
8 | sales tax and State sales tax reported to the Department of | ||||||
9 | Revenue. | ||||||
10 | (a) The bond trustee, escrow agent, or paying agent shall | ||||||
11 | keep such sales and use tax reports and the information | ||||||
12 | contained therein confidential, but may use such information | ||||||
13 | for purposes of allocating and depositing the sales and use tax | ||||||
14 | revenues in connection with the bonds used to finance project | ||||||
15 | costs in such STAR bond district. Except as otherwise provided | ||||||
16 | herein, the sales and use tax reports received by the bond | ||||||

21 | (b) The political subdivision shall determine when the | ||||||
22 | amount of sales tax and other revenues that have been collected | ||||||
23 | and distributed to the bond debt service or reserve fund is | ||||||
24 | sufficient to satisfy all principal and interest costs to the | ||||||
25 | maturity date or dates of any STAR bond issued by a political | ||||||
26 | subdivision to finance a STAR bond project and shall give the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department of Revenue written notice of such determination. The | ||||||
2 | notice shall include a date certain on which deposits into the | ||||||
3 | STAR Bonds Revenue Fund for that STAR bond project shall | ||||||
4 | terminate and shall be provided to the Department of Revenue at | ||||||
5 | least 60 days prior to that date. Thereafter, all sales tax and | ||||||
6 | other revenues shall be collected and distributed in accordance | ||||||
7 | with applicable law.
| ||||||
8 | Section 55. Severability. If any provision of this Act or | ||||||
9 | the application thereof to any persons or circumstances is held | ||||||
10 | invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or | ||||||
11 | application of the Act that can be given effect without the | ||||||
12 | invalid provisions or application and to this end the | ||||||
13 | provisions of this Act are declared to be severable.

14 | preceding calendar
month by the Department, and not including | ||||||

23 | shall cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts
| ||||||
24 | in accordance with the directions contained in such | ||||||
25 | certification.
| ||||||
26 | When certifying the amount of monthly disbursement to a |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | municipality or
county under this Section, the Department shall | ||||||
2 | increase or decrease that
amount by an amount necessary to | ||||||
3 | offset any misallocation of previous
disbursements. The offset | ||||||

| ||||||
13 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund of money | ||||||
14 | paid into
the County and Mass Transit District Fund should be | ||||||
15 | made to a claimant
instead of issuing a credit memorandum, the | ||||||
16 | Department shall notify the
State Comptroller, who shall cause | ||||||

specified, and to the | ||||||
18 | person named, in such notification from the

9 | taxes or penalties paid to the Department during the second | ||||||
10 | preceding
calendar month. The amount to be paid to the Regional | ||||||
11 | Transportation
Authority and each county having 3,000,000 or | ||||||
12 | fewer inhabitants shall be

18 | to the amount of refunds
made during the second preceding | ||||||
19 | calendar month by the Department, and not

23 | county , and not including any amounts that are transferred to | ||||||
24 | the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund .
Within 10 days after receipt, by | ||||||
25 | the Comptroller, of the disbursement
certification to the | ||||||
26 | Regional Transportation Authority and counties,
provided for |
| |||||||
| |||||||

3 | for the
respective amounts in accordance with the directions | ||||||
4 | contained in such
certification.
| ||||||

6 | Regional
Transportation Authority or to a county under this | ||||||
7 | Section, the Department
shall increase or decrease that amount | ||||||
8 | by an amount necessary to offset any
misallocation of previous | ||||||
9 | disbursements. The offset amount shall be the
amount | ||||||
10 | erroneously disbursed within the 6 months preceding the time a
| ||||||
11 | misallocation is discovered.
| ||||||
12 | The provisions directing the distributions from the | ||||||
13 | special fund in
the State Treasury provided for in this Section | ||||||
14 | and from the Regional

| ||||||
6 | (55 ILCS 5/5-1006) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1006)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 5-1006. Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax | ||||||
8 | Law. Any county that is a home rule unit may impose
a tax upon | ||||||
9 | all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
| ||||||
10 | personal property, other than an item of tangible personal | ||||||
11 | property titled
or registered with an agency of this State's | ||||||
12 | government, at retail in the
county on the gross receipts from | ||||||
13 | such sales made in the course of
their business. If imposed, | ||||||
14 | this tax shall only
be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after | ||||||
15 | September 1, 1991, this
additional tax may not be imposed on | ||||||
16 | the sales of food for human
consumption which is to be consumed | ||||||

22 | tax imposed by a home rule
county pursuant to this Section and | ||||||
23 | all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof | ||||||
24 | shall be collected and enforced by the
State Department of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Revenue. The certificate of registration that is
issued by the | ||||||
2 | Department to a retailer under the Retailers'

3 | Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a
business that is | ||||||
4 | taxable under any ordinance or resolution
enacted pursuant to | ||||||
5 | this Section without registering separately with the
| ||||||
6 | Department under such ordinance or resolution or under this | ||||||
7 | Section. The
Department shall have full power to administer and | ||||||
8 | enforce this Section; to
collect all taxes and penalties due | ||||||
9 | hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
penalties so collected in | ||||||
10 | the manner hereinafter provided; and to
determine all rights to | ||||||
11 | credit memoranda arising on account of the
erroneous payment of | ||||||
12 | tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
and | ||||||
13 | compliance with, this Section, the Department and persons who | ||||||
14 | are
subject to this Section shall have the same rights, | ||||||
15 | remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers and duties, and be | ||||||

Occupation Tax Act and | ||||||
23 | Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act,
as fully | ||||||
24 | as if those provisions were set forth herein.
| ||||||
25 | No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to | ||||||
26 | this Section
unless the county also imposes a tax at the same |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | rate pursuant
to Section 5-1007.
| ||||||
2 | Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the | ||||||
3 | authority granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for | ||||||
4 | their seller's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating | ||||||
5 | such tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be stated in | ||||||
6 | combination, in a single amount,
with State tax which sellers | ||||||
7 | are required to collect under the Use Tax
Act, pursuant to such | ||||||
8 | bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
9 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
10 | made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
11 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | ||||||
12 | Comptroller, who shall cause the
order to be drawn for the | ||||||
13 | amount specified and to the person named
in the notification | ||||||
14 | from the Department. The
refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
15 | Treasurer out of the home rule county
retailers' occupation tax | ||||||
16 | fund.
| ||||||
17 | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | ||||||
18 | Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
19 | collected hereunder. | ||||||
20 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
21 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
22 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
23 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
24 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
25 | Financing Act, collected under this Section during the second | ||||||

2 | on On or
before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
3 | Department shall
prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
4 | disbursement of stated sums
of money to named counties, the | ||||||
5 | counties to be those from which retailers
have paid taxes or | ||||||
6 | penalties hereunder to the Department during the second
| ||||||
7 | preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each county | ||||||
8 | shall be
the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected | ||||||
9 | hereunder during the
second preceding calendar month by the | ||||||
10 | Department plus an amount the
Department determines is | ||||||
11 | necessary to offset any amounts that
were erroneously paid to a | ||||||
12 | different taxing body, and not including an
amount equal to the | ||||||
13 | amount of refunds made during the second preceding
calendar | ||||||
14 | month by the Department on behalf of such county, and not
| ||||||
15 | including any amount which the Department determines is | ||||||
16 | necessary to offset
any amounts which were payable to a | ||||||
17 | different taxing body but were
erroneously paid to the county , | ||||||
18 | and not including any amounts that are transferred to the STAR | ||||||
19 | Bonds Revenue Fund . Within 10 days after receipt, by the
| ||||||
20 | Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the counties | ||||||
21 | provided for
in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by | ||||||
22 | the Department, the
Comptroller shall cause the orders to be | ||||||
23 | drawn for the respective amounts
in accordance with the | ||||||
24 | directions contained in the certification.
| ||||||
25 | In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding | ||||||
26 | paragraph,
an allocation shall be made in March of each year to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | each county that
received more than $500,000 in disbursements | ||||||
2 | under the preceding
paragraph in the preceding calendar year. | ||||||
3 | The allocation shall be in an
amount equal to the average | ||||||
4 | monthly distribution made to each such county
under the | ||||||
5 | preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar year | ||||||
6 | (excluding
the 2 months of highest receipts). The distribution | ||||||
7 | made in March of each
year subsequent to the year in which an | ||||||
8 | allocation was made pursuant to
this paragraph and the | ||||||
9 | preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount
allocated | ||||||
10 | and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding calendar
| ||||||
11 | year. The Department shall prepare and certify to the | ||||||
12 | Comptroller for
disbursement the allocations made in | ||||||
13 | accordance with this paragraph.
| ||||||
14 | For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit | ||||||
15 | whose tax
is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of coal or | ||||||
16 | other mineral
mined in Illinois is a sale at retail at the | ||||||
17 | place where the coal or
other mineral mined in Illinois is | ||||||
18 | extracted from the earth. This
paragraph does not apply to coal | ||||||
19 | or other mineral when it is delivered
or shipped by the seller | ||||||
20 | to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so
that the sale | ||||||
21 | is exempt under the United States
Constitution as a sale in | ||||||
22 | interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
23 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
| ||||||
24 | county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
| ||||||
25 | business which under the Constitution of the United States may | ||||||
26 | not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.
|
| |||||||

6 | county under
this Section, the Department shall increase or | ||||||
7 | decrease such amount by an
amount necessary to offset any | ||||||
8 | misallocation of previous disbursements.

| ||||||
15 | Sec. 5-1006.5. Special County Retailers' Occupation Tax
| ||||||
16 | For Public Safety, Public Facilities, or Transportation. | ||||||
17 | (a) The county board of any county may impose a
tax upon | ||||||
18 | all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible | ||||||
19 | personal
property, other than personal property titled or | ||||||
20 | registered with an agency of
this State's government, at retail | ||||||
21 | in the county on the gross receipts from the
sales made in the | ||||||
22 | course of business to provide revenue to be used exclusively
| ||||||
23 | for public safety, public facility, or transportation purposes | ||||||
24 | in that county, if a
proposition for the
tax has been submitted | ||||||
25 | to the electors of that county and
approved by a majority of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | those voting on the question. If imposed, this tax
shall be | ||||||
2 | imposed only in one-quarter percent increments. By resolution, | ||||||
3 | the
county board may order the proposition to be submitted at | ||||||
4 | any election.
If the tax is imposed for
transportation purposes | ||||||
5 | for expenditures for public highways or as
authorized
under the | ||||||
6 | Illinois Highway Code, the county board must publish notice
of | ||||||
7 | the existence of its long-range highway transportation
plan as | ||||||
8 | required or described in Section 5-301 of the Illinois
Highway | ||||||
9 | Code and must make the plan publicly available prior to
| ||||||
10 | approval of the ordinance or resolution
imposing the tax. If | ||||||
11 | the tax is imposed for transportation purposes for
expenditures | ||||||
12 | for passenger rail transportation, the county board must | ||||||
13 | publish
notice of the existence of its long-range passenger | ||||||
14 | rail transportation plan
and
must make the plan publicly | ||||||
15 | available prior to approval of the ordinance or
resolution | ||||||
16 | imposing the tax. The county clerk shall certify the
question | ||||||
17 | to the proper election authority, who
shall submit the | ||||||
18 | proposition at an election in accordance with the general
| ||||||
19 | election law.
| ||||||
20 | (1) The proposition for public safety purposes shall be | ||||||
21 | in
substantially the following form: | ||||||
22 | "To pay for public safety purposes, shall (name of | ||||||
23 | county) be authorized to impose an increase on its share of | ||||||
24 | local sales taxes by (insert rate)?" | ||||||
25 | As additional information on the ballot below the | ||||||
26 | question shall appear the following: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | "This would mean that a consumer would pay an | ||||||
2 | additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of | ||||||
3 | tangible personal property bought at retail."
| ||||||
4 | The county board may also opt to establish a sunset | ||||||
5 | provision at which time the additional sales tax would | ||||||
6 | cease being collected, if not terminated earlier by a vote | ||||||
7 | of the county board. If the county board votes to include a | ||||||
8 | sunset provision, the proposition for public safety | ||||||
9 | purposes shall be in substantially the following form: | ||||||
10 | "To pay for public safety purposes, shall (name of | ||||||
11 | county) be authorized to impose an increase on its share of | ||||||
12 | local sales taxes by (insert rate) for a period not to | ||||||
13 | exceed (insert number of years)?" | ||||||
14 | As additional information on the ballot below the | ||||||
15 | question shall appear the following: | ||||||
16 | "This would mean that a consumer would pay an | ||||||

18 | tangible personal property bought at retail. If imposed, | ||||||
19 | the additional tax would cease being collected at the end | ||||||
20 | of (insert number of years), if not terminated earlier by a | ||||||
21 | vote of the county board."
| ||||||
22 | For the purposes of the
paragraph, "public safety | ||||||
23 | purposes" means
crime prevention, detention, fire | ||||||
24 | fighting, police, medical, ambulance, or
other emergency | ||||||

5 | authorized to impose an increase on its share of local | ||||||
6 | sales taxes by (insert rate)?" | ||||||

25 | additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of | ||||||
26 | tangible personal property bought at retail. If imposed, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the additional tax would cease being collected at the end | ||||||
2 | of (insert number of years), if not terminated earlier by a | ||||||
3 | vote of the county board."
| ||||||
4 | For the purposes of this paragraph, transportation | ||||||
5 | purposes means
construction, maintenance, operation, and | ||||||
6 | improvement of
public highways, any other purpose for which | ||||||
7 | a county may expend funds under
the Illinois Highway Code, | ||||||
8 | and passenger rail transportation.
| ||||||
9 | The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
| ||||||
10 | (3) The proposition for public facility purposes shall | ||||||
11 | be in substantially the following form: | ||||||
12 | "To pay for public facility purposes, shall (name of
| ||||||
13 | county) be authorized to impose an increase on its share of
| ||||||
14 | local sales taxes by (insert rate)?" | ||||||
15 | As additional information on the ballot below the

16 | question shall appear the following: | ||||||
17 | "This would mean that a consumer would pay an
| ||||||
18 | additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of
| ||||||
19 | tangible personal property bought at retail." | ||||||
20 | The county board may also opt to establish a sunset
| ||||||
21 | provision at which time the additional sales tax would
| ||||||
22 | cease being collected, if not terminated earlier by a vote
| ||||||
23 | of the county board. If the county board votes to include a
| ||||||
24 | sunset provision, the proposition for public facility
| ||||||
25 | purposes shall be in substantially the following form: | ||||||
26 | "To pay for public facility purposes, shall (name of
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | county) be authorized to impose an increase on its share of
| ||||||
2 | local sales taxes by (insert rate) for a period not to

3 | exceed (insert number of years)?" | ||||||
4 | As additional information on the ballot below the

| ||||||
9 | the additional tax would cease being collected at the end
| ||||||
10 | of (insert number of years), if not terminated earlier by a
| ||||||
11 | vote of the county board." | ||||||
12 | For purposes of this Section, "public facilities | ||||||
13 | purposes" means the acquisition, development, | ||||||
14 | construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, improvement, | ||||||
15 | financing, architectural planning, and installation of | ||||||
16 | capital facilities consisting of buildings, structures, | ||||||
17 | and durable equipment and for the acquisition and | ||||||

19 | required, or expected to be required, in connection with | ||||||
20 | the public facilities, for use by the county for the | ||||||
21 | furnishing of governmental services to its citizens, | ||||||
22 | including but not limited to museums and nursing homes. | ||||||
23 | The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No". | ||||||
24 | If a majority of the electors voting on
the proposition | ||||||
25 | vote in favor of it, the county may impose the tax.
A county | ||||||
26 | may not submit more than one proposition authorized by this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section
to the electors at any one time.
| ||||||
2 | This additional tax may not be imposed on the sales of food | ||||||
3 | for human
consumption that is to be consumed off the premises | ||||||
4 | where it is sold (other
than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, | ||||||
5 | and food which has been prepared for
immediate consumption) and | ||||||
6 | prescription and non-prescription medicines, drugs,
medical | ||||||
7 | appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and | ||||||
8 | needles
used by diabetics. The tax imposed by a county under | ||||||
9 | this Section and
all civil penalties that may be assessed as an | ||||||
10 | incident of the tax shall be
collected and enforced by the | ||||||
11 | Illinois Department of Revenue and deposited
into a special | ||||||
12 | fund created for that purpose. The certificate
of registration | ||||||
13 | that is issued by the Department to a retailer under the
| ||||||
14 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to | ||||||
15 | engage in a business
that is taxable without registering | ||||||
16 | separately with the Department under an
ordinance or resolution | ||||||
17 | under this Section. The Department has full
power to administer | ||||||
18 | and enforce this Section, to collect all taxes and
penalties | ||||||
19 | due under this Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
| ||||||
20 | collected in the manner provided in this Section, and to | ||||||
21 | determine
all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of | ||||||
22 | the erroneous payment of
a tax or penalty under this Section. | ||||||
23 | In the administration of and compliance
with this Section, the | ||||||
24 | Department and persons who are subject to this Section
shall | ||||||
25 | (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | ||||||
26 | powers, and
duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | restrictions, limitations,
penalties, and definitions of | ||||||
2 | terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
procedure as are | ||||||
3 | prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f,
1i, 1j,
1k, 1m, | ||||||
4 | 1n,
2 through 2-70 (in respect to all provisions contained in | ||||||
5 | those Sections
other than the
State rate of tax), 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 | ||||||
6 | (except provisions
relating to
transaction returns and quarter | ||||||
7 | monthly payments), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,
5f,
5g, 5h, 5i, | ||||||
8 | 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13 of | ||||||
9 | the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the | ||||||
10 | Uniform Penalty and
Interest Act as if those provisions were | ||||||
11 | set forth in this Section.
| ||||||
12 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
13 | granted in this
Section may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
14 | sellers' tax liability by
separately stating the tax as an | ||||||
15 | additional charge, which charge may be stated
in combination, | ||||||
16 | in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
| ||||||
17 | to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed | ||||||
18 | schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
19 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
20 | made under this
Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
21 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
22 | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for
the | ||||||
23 | amount specified and to the person named in the notification | ||||||
24 | from the
Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
25 | Treasurer out of the County
Public Safety or Transportation | ||||||
26 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
| ||||||
2 | service occupation tax shall
also be imposed at the same rate | ||||||
3 | upon all persons engaged, in the county, in
the business
of | ||||||
4 | making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those | ||||||
5 | sales of
service, transfer tangible personal property within | ||||||
6 | the county
as an
incident to a sale of service.
This tax may | ||||||
7 | not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is | ||||||
8 | to
be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than | ||||||
9 | alcoholic beverages,
soft drinks, and food prepared for | ||||||
10 | immediate consumption) and prescription and
non-prescription | ||||||
11 | medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
| ||||||
12 | testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics.
The | ||||||
13 | tax imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties that | ||||||
14 | may be
assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and | ||||||
15 | enforced by the
Department of Revenue. The Department has
full | ||||||
16 | power to
administer and enforce this subsection; to collect all | ||||||
17 | taxes and penalties
due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and | ||||||
18 | penalties so collected in the manner
hereinafter provided; and | ||||||
19 | to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account | ||||||
20 | of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
In the | ||||||
21 | administration of, and compliance with this subsection, the
| ||||||
22 | Department and persons who are subject to this paragraph shall | ||||||
23 | (i) have the
same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | ||||||
24 | powers, and duties, (ii) be
subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
25 | restrictions, limitations, penalties,
exclusions, exemptions, | ||||||
26 | and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same
modes
of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2 (except that the
| ||||||
2 | reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a | ||||||
3 | place of
business in this State shall mean the county), 2a, 2b, | ||||||
4 | 2c, 3 through
3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein other | ||||||
5 | than the State rate of
tax), 4 (except that the reference to | ||||||
6 | the State shall be to the county),
5, 7, 8 (except that the | ||||||
7 | jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to
the extent | ||||||
8 | indicated in that Section 8 shall be the county), 9 (except as
| ||||||
9 | to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 10, 11, | ||||||
10 | 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b of the
| ||||||
11 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference | ||||||
12 | to the State
shall mean the county), Section 15, 16,
17, 18, 19 | ||||||
13 | and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of
the | ||||||
14 | Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those | ||||||
15 | provisions were
set forth herein.
| ||||||
16 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
17 | granted in
this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
18 | serviceman's tax liability
by separately stating the tax as an | ||||||
19 | additional charge, which
charge may be stated in combination, | ||||||
20 | in a single amount, with State tax
that servicemen are | ||||||
21 | authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
| ||||||
22 | accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may | ||||||
23 | prescribe.
| ||||||
24 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
25 | made under this
subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
26 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
for the | ||||||
2 | amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
| ||||||
3 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
4 | Treasurer out
of the County Public Safety or Transportation | ||||||
5 | Retailers' Occupation Fund.
| ||||||
6 | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
7 | the county
to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
8 | any business which under
the Constitution of the United States | ||||||
9 | may not be made the subject of taxation
by the State.
| ||||||
10 | (c) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State | ||||||
11 | Treasurer, ex
officio,
as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
12 | collected under this Section to be
deposited into the County | ||||||
13 | Public Safety or Transportation Retailers'
Occupation Tax | ||||||
14 | Fund, which
shall be an unappropriated trust fund held outside | ||||||
15 | of the State treasury. | ||||||
16 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
17 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
18 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
19 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
20 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
21 | Financing Act, collected under this Section during the second | ||||||
22 | preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond district. | ||||||
23 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
24 | on On
or before the 25th
day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
25 | Department shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller the | ||||||
26 | disbursement of stated sums of money
to the counties from which |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | retailers have paid
taxes or penalties to the Department during | ||||||
2 | the second preceding
calendar month. The amount to be paid to | ||||||
3 | each county, and deposited by the
county into its special fund | ||||||
4 | created for the purposes of this Section, shall
be the amount | ||||||
5 | (not
including credit memoranda) collected under this Section | ||||||
6 | during the second
preceding
calendar month by the Department | ||||||
7 | plus an amount the Department determines is
necessary to offset | ||||||
8 | any amounts that were erroneously paid to a different
taxing | ||||||
9 | body, and not including (i) an amount equal to the amount of | ||||||
10 | refunds
made
during the second preceding calendar month by the | ||||||
11 | Department on behalf of
the county , and (ii) any amount that | ||||||
12 | the Department determines is
necessary to offset any amounts | ||||||
13 | that were payable to a different taxing body
but were | ||||||
14 | erroneously paid to the county , and (iii) any amounts that are | ||||||
15 | transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund . Within 10 days | ||||||
16 | after receipt by the
Comptroller of the disbursement | ||||||
17 | certification to the counties provided for in
this Section to | ||||||
18 | be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller
| ||||||
19 | shall cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts | ||||||
20 | in accordance
with directions contained in the certification.
| ||||||
21 | In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding | ||||||
22 | paragraph, an
allocation shall be made in March of each year to | ||||||
23 | each county that received
more than $500,000 in disbursements | ||||||
24 | under the preceding paragraph in the
preceding calendar year. | ||||||
25 | The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the
average | ||||||
26 | monthly distribution made to each such county under the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | preceding
paragraph during the preceding calendar year | ||||||
2 | (excluding the 2 months of
highest receipts). The distribution | ||||||
3 | made in March of each year subsequent to
the year in which an | ||||||
4 | allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the
| ||||||
5 | preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount allocated | ||||||
6 | and disbursed
under this paragraph in the preceding calendar | ||||||
7 | year. The Department shall
prepare and certify to the | ||||||
8 | Comptroller for disbursement the allocations made in
| ||||||
9 | accordance with this paragraph.
| ||||||
10 | (d) For the purpose of determining the local governmental | ||||||
11 | unit whose tax is
applicable, a retail sale by a producer of | ||||||
12 | coal or another mineral mined in
Illinois is a sale at retail | ||||||
13 | at the place where the coal or other mineral mined
in Illinois | ||||||
14 | is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to | ||||||
15 | coal
or another mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the | ||||||
16 | seller to the
purchaser
at a point outside Illinois so that the | ||||||
17 | sale is exempt under the United States
Constitution as a sale | ||||||
18 | in interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
19 | (e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
20 | a county to
impose a
tax upon the privilege of engaging in any | ||||||
21 | business that under the Constitution
of the United States may | ||||||
22 | not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
23 | (e-5) If a county imposes a tax under this Section, the | ||||||
24 | county board may,
by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate | ||||||
25 | of the tax. If the county board
lowers the tax rate or | ||||||
26 | discontinues the tax, a referendum must be
held in accordance |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | with subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase the
| ||||||
2 | rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.
| ||||||
3 | (f) Beginning April 1, 1998, the results of any election | ||||||
4 | authorizing a
proposition to impose a tax
under this Section or | ||||||
5 | effecting a change in the rate of tax, or any ordinance
| ||||||
6 | lowering the rate or discontinuing the tax,
shall be certified
| ||||||
7 | by the
county clerk and filed with the Illinois Department of | ||||||
8 | Revenue
either (i) on or
before the first day of April, | ||||||
9 | whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and | ||||||
10 | enforce the tax as of the first day of July next following
the | ||||||
11 | filing; or (ii)
on or before the first day of October, | ||||||
12 | whereupon the
Department shall proceed to administer and | ||||||
13 | enforce the tax as of the first
day of January next following | ||||||
14 | the filing.
| ||||||
15 | (g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to | ||||||
16 | a county under
this
Section, the Department shall increase or | ||||||
17 | decrease the amounts by an amount
necessary to offset any | ||||||
18 | miscalculation of previous disbursements. The offset
amount | ||||||
19 | shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous 6 | ||||||
20 | months
from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
| ||||||
21 | (h) This Section may be cited as the "Special County | ||||||
22 | Occupation Tax
For Public Safety, Public Facilities, or | ||||||
23 | Transportation Law".
| ||||||
24 | (i) For purposes of this Section, "public safety" includes, | ||||||
25 | but is not
limited to, crime prevention, detention, fire | ||||||
26 | fighting, police, medical,
ambulance, or other emergency
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | services. For the purposes of this Section, "transportation" | ||||||
2 | includes, but
is not limited to, the construction,
maintenance, | ||||||
3 | operation, and improvement of public highways, any other
| ||||||
4 | purpose for which a county may expend funds under the Illinois | ||||||
5 | Highway Code,
and passenger rail transportation. For the | ||||||
6 | purposes of this Section, "public facilities purposes" | ||||||
7 | includes, but is not limited to, the acquisition, development, | ||||||
8 | construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, improvement, | ||||||
9 | financing, architectural planning, and installation of capital | ||||||
10 | facilities consisting of buildings, structures, and durable | ||||||
11 | equipment and for the acquisition and improvement of real | ||||||
12 | property and interest in real property required, or expected to | ||||||
13 | be required, in connection with the public facilities, for use | ||||||
14 | by the county for the furnishing of governmental services to | ||||||
15 | its citizens, including but not limited to museums and nursing | ||||||
16 | homes. | ||||||
17 | (j) The Department may promulgate rules to implement this | ||||||
18 | amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly only to the extent | ||||||
19 | necessary to apply the existing rules for the Special County | ||||||
20 | Retailers' Occupation Tax for Public Safety to this new purpose | ||||||
21 | for public facilities.

25 | Sec. 5-1006.7. School facility occupation taxes. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) The county board of any county may impose a tax upon | ||||||
2 | all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible | ||||||
3 | personal property, other than personal property titled or | ||||||
4 | registered with an agency of this State's government, at retail | ||||||
5 | in the county on the gross receipts from the sales made in the | ||||||
6 | course of business to provide revenue to be used exclusively | ||||||
7 | for school facility purposes if a proposition for the tax has | ||||||
8 | been submitted to the electors of that county and approved by a | ||||||
9 | majority of those voting on the question as provided in | ||||||
10 | subsection (c). The tax under this Section may be imposed only | ||||||
11 | in one-quarter percent increments and may not exceed 1%. | ||||||
12 | This additional tax may not be imposed on the sale of food | ||||||
13 | for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises | ||||||
14 | where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, | ||||||
15 | and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption) and | ||||||
16 | prescription and non-prescription medicines, drugs, medical | ||||||
17 | appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and | ||||||
18 | needles used by diabetics.
The Department of Revenue has full | ||||||
19 | power to administer and enforce this subsection, to collect all | ||||||
20 | taxes and penalties due under this subsection, to dispose of | ||||||
21 | taxes and penalties so collected in the manner provided in this | ||||||
22 | subsection, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda | ||||||
23 | arising on account of the erroneous payment of a tax or penalty | ||||||
24 | under this subsection. The Department shall deposit all taxes | ||||||
25 | and penalties collected under this subsection into a special | ||||||
26 | fund created for that purpose. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | In the administration of and compliance with this | ||||||
2 | subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this | ||||||
3 | subsection (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | ||||||
4 | immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) are subject to the same | ||||||
5 | conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and | ||||||
6 | definitions of terms, and (iii) shall employ the same modes of | ||||||
7 | procedure as are set forth in Sections 1 through 1o, 2 through | ||||||
8 | 2-70 (in respect to all provisions contained in those Sections | ||||||
9 | other than the State rate of tax), 2a through 2h, 3 (except as | ||||||
10 | to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, | ||||||

13 | and all provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as | ||||||
14 | if those provisions were set forth in this subsection. | ||||||
15 | The certificate of registration that is issued by the | ||||||
16 | Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax | ||||||
17 | Act permits the retailer to engage in a business that is | ||||||
18 | taxable without registering separately with the Department | ||||||
19 | under an ordinance or resolution under this subsection. | ||||||
20 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
21 | granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
22 | seller's tax liability by separately stating that tax as an | ||||||
23 | additional charge, which may be stated in combination, in a | ||||||
24 | single amount, with State tax that sellers are required to | ||||||
25 | collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to any bracketed | ||||||
26 | schedules set forth by the Department. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), then a | ||||||
2 | service occupation tax must also be imposed at the same rate | ||||||
3 | upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of | ||||||
4 | making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those | ||||||
5 | sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within | ||||||
6 | the county as an incident to a sale of service. | ||||||
7 | This tax may not be imposed on sales of food for human | ||||||
8 | consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is | ||||||
9 | sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food | ||||||
10 | prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and | ||||||
11 | non-prescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and | ||||||
12 | insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used by | ||||||
13 | diabetics. | ||||||
14 | The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil | ||||||
15 | penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be | ||||||
16 | collected and enforced by the Department and deposited into a | ||||||
17 | special fund created for that purpose. The Department has full | ||||||
18 | power to administer and enforce this subsection, to collect all | ||||||
19 | taxes and penalties due under this subsection, to dispose of | ||||||
20 | taxes and penalties so collected in the manner provided in this | ||||||
21 | subsection, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda | ||||||
22 | arising on account of the erroneous payment of a tax or penalty | ||||||
23 | under this subsection. | ||||||
24 | In the administration of and compliance with this | ||||||
25 | subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this | ||||||
26 | subsection shall (i) have the same rights, remedies, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | privileges, immunities, powers and duties, (ii) be subject to | ||||||
2 | the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and | ||||||
3 | definition of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of | ||||||
4 | procedure as are set forth in Sections 2 (except that that | ||||||
5 | reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a | ||||||
6 | place of business in this State means the county), 2a through | ||||||
7 | 2d, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions contained in | ||||||
8 | those Sections other than the State rate of tax), 4 (except | ||||||
9 | that the reference to the State shall be to the county), 5, 7, | ||||||
10 | 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which the tax is a debt to | ||||||
11 | the extent indicated in that Section 8 is the county), 9 | ||||||
12 | (except as to the disposition of taxes and penalties | ||||||
13 | collected), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section | ||||||
14 | 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any | ||||||
15 | reference to the State means the county), Section 15, 16, 17, | ||||||
16 | 18, 19, and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and all | ||||||
17 | provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as | ||||||
18 | if those provisions were set forth herein. | ||||||
19 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
20 | granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
21 | serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the tax as an | ||||||
22 | additional charge, which may be stated in combination, in a | ||||||
23 | single amount, with State tax that servicemen are authorized to | ||||||
24 | collect under the Service Use Tax Act, pursuant to any | ||||||
25 | bracketed schedules set forth by the Department. | ||||||
26 | (c) The tax under this Section may not be imposed until, by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ordinance or resolution of the county board, the question of | ||||||
2 | imposing the tax has been submitted to the electors of the | ||||||
3 | county at a regular election and approved by a majority of the | ||||||
4 | electors voting on the question. Upon a resolution by the | ||||||
5 | county board or a resolution by school district boards that | ||||||
6 | represent at least 51% of the student enrollment within the | ||||||
7 | county, the county board must certify the question to the | ||||||
8 | proper election authority in accordance with the Election Code. | ||||||
9 | The election authority must submit the question in | ||||||
10 | substantially the following form: | ||||||
11 | Shall (name of county) be authorized to impose a | ||||||
12 | retailers' occupation tax and a service occupation tax | ||||||
13 | (commonly referred to as a "sales tax") at a rate of | ||||||
14 | (insert rate) to be used exclusively for school facility | ||||||
15 | purposes? | ||||||
16 | The election authority must record the votes as "Yes" or "No". | ||||||
17 | If a majority of the electors voting on the question vote | ||||||
18 | in the affirmative, then the county may, thereafter, impose the | ||||||
19 | tax. | ||||||
20 | For the purposes of this subsection (c), "enrollment" means | ||||||
21 | the head count of the students residing in the county on the | ||||||
22 | last school day of September of each year, which must be | ||||||
23 | reported on the Illinois State Board of Education Public School | ||||||
24 | Fall Enrollment/Housing Report.
| ||||||
25 | (d) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State | ||||||
26 | Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | collected under this Section to be deposited into the School | ||||||
2 | Facility Occupation Tax Fund, which shall be an unappropriated | ||||||
3 | trust fund held outside the State treasury. | ||||||
4 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
5 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
6 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
7 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
8 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
9 | Financing Act, collected under this Section during the second | ||||||
10 | preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond district. | ||||||
11 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
12 | on On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
13 | Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
14 | disbursement of stated sums of money to the regional | ||||||
15 | superintendents of schools in counties from which retailers or | ||||||
16 | servicemen have paid taxes or penalties to the Department | ||||||
17 | during the second preceding calendar month. The amount to be | ||||||
18 | paid to each regional superintendent of schools and disbursed | ||||||
19 | to him or her in accordance with 3-14.31 of the School Code, is | ||||||
20 | equal to the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected | ||||||
21 | from the county under this Section during the second preceding | ||||||
22 | calendar month by the Department, (i) less 2% of that amount, | ||||||
23 | which shall be deposited into the Tax Compliance and | ||||||
24 | Administration Fund and shall be used by the Department, | ||||||
25 | subject to appropriation, to cover the costs of the Department | ||||||
26 | in administering and enforcing the provisions of this Section, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | on behalf of the county, (ii) plus an amount that the | ||||||
2 | Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that | ||||||
3 | were erroneously paid to a different taxing body; (iii) less an | ||||||
4 | amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the second | ||||||
5 | preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of the | ||||||
6 | county; and (iv) less any amount that the Department determines | ||||||
7 | is necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a | ||||||
8 | different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the county ; | ||||||
9 | and (v) less any amounts that are transferred to the STAR Bonds | ||||||
10 | Revenue Fund . When certifying the amount of a monthly | ||||||
11 | disbursement to a regional superintendent of schools under this | ||||||
12 | Section, the Department shall increase or decrease the amounts | ||||||
13 | by an amount necessary to offset any miscalculation of previous | ||||||
14 | disbursements within the previous 6 months from the time a | ||||||
15 | miscalculation is discovered. | ||||||
16 | Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller from the | ||||||
17 | Department of the disbursement certification to the regional | ||||||
18 | superintendents of the schools provided for in this Section, | ||||||
19 | the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the | ||||||
20 | respective amounts in accordance with directions contained in | ||||||
21 | the certification. | ||||||
22 | If the Department determines that a refund should be made | ||||||
23 | under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a credit | ||||||
24 | memorandum, then the Department shall notify the Comptroller, | ||||||
25 | who shall cause the order to be drawn for the amount specified | ||||||
26 | and to the person named in the notification from the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department. The refund shall be paid by the Treasurer out of | ||||||
2 | the School Facility Occupation Tax Fund.
| ||||||
3 | (e) For the purposes of determining the local governmental | ||||||
4 | unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of | ||||||
5 | coal or another mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail | ||||||
6 | at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois | ||||||
7 | is extracted from the earth. This subsection does not apply to | ||||||
8 | coal or another mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the | ||||||
9 | seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the | ||||||
10 | sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale | ||||||
11 | in interstate or foreign commerce. | ||||||
12 | (f) Nothing in this Section may be construed to authorize a | ||||||
13 | county board to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
14 | any business that under the Constitution of the United States | ||||||
15 | may not be made the subject of taxation by this State. | ||||||
16 | (g) If a county board imposes a tax under this Section, | ||||||
17 | then the board may, by ordinance, discontinue or reduce the | ||||||
18 | rate of the tax. If, however, a school board issues bonds that | ||||||
19 | are backed by the proceeds of the tax under this Section, then | ||||||
20 | the county board may not reduce the tax rate or discontinue the | ||||||
21 | tax if that rate reduction or discontinuance would inhibit the | ||||||
22 | school board's ability to pay the principal and interest on | ||||||
23 | those bonds as they become due. If the county board reduces the | ||||||
24 | tax rate or discontinues the tax, then a referendum must be | ||||||
25 | held in accordance with subsection (c) of this Section in order | ||||||
26 | to increase the rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | tax. | ||||||
2 | The results of any election that authorizes a proposition | ||||||
3 | to impose a tax under this Section or to change the rate of the | ||||||
4 | tax along with an ordinance imposing the tax, or any ordinance | ||||||
5 | that lowers the rate or discontinues the tax, must be certified | ||||||
6 | by the county clerk and filed with the Illinois Department of | ||||||
7 | Revenue either (i) on or before the first day of April, | ||||||
8 | whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer and | ||||||
9 | enforce the tax or change in the rate as of the first day of | ||||||
10 | July next following the filing; or (ii) on or before the first | ||||||
11 | day of October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to | ||||||
12 | administer and enforce the tax or change in the rate as of the | ||||||
13 | first day of January next following the filing. | ||||||
14 | (h) For purposes of this Section, "school facility | ||||||
15 | purposes" means the acquisition, development, construction, | ||||||
16 | reconstruction, rehabilitation, improvement, financing, | ||||||
17 | architectural planning, and installation of capital facilities | ||||||
18 | consisting of buildings, structures, and durable equipment and | ||||||
19 | for the acquisition and improvement of real property and | ||||||
20 | interest in real property required, or expected to be required, | ||||||
21 | in connection with the capital facilities. "School-facility | ||||||
22 | purposes" also includes fire prevention, safety, energy | ||||||
23 | conservation, disabled accessibility, school security, and | ||||||
24 | specified repair purposes set forth under Section 17-2.11 of | ||||||
25 | the School Code. | ||||||
26 | (i) This Section does not apply to Cook County. |

| ||||||
5 | Sec. 5-1007. Home Rule County Service Occupation Tax Law. | ||||||
6 | The corporate
authorities of a home rule county may impose a | ||||||
7 | tax upon all persons
engaged, in such county, in the business | ||||||
8 | of making sales of service at the
same rate of tax imposed | ||||||
9 | pursuant to Section 5-1006 of the selling price of
all tangible | ||||||
10 | personal property transferred by such servicemen either in the
| ||||||
11 | form of tangible personal property or in the form of real | ||||||
12 | estate as an
incident to a sale of service. If imposed, such | ||||||
13 | tax shall only be imposed
in 1/4% increments. On and after | ||||||
14 | September 1, 1991, this additional tax may
not be imposed on | ||||||
15 | the sales of food for human consumption which is to be
consumed | ||||||
16 | off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic | ||||||
17 | beverages,
soft drinks and food which has been prepared for | ||||||
18 | immediate consumption) and
prescription and nonprescription | ||||||
19 | medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
insulin, urine | ||||||
20 | testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
The | ||||||
21 | tax imposed by a home rule county pursuant to this Section and | ||||||
22 | all
civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof | ||||||
23 | shall be
collected and enforced by the State Department of | ||||||
24 | Revenue. The certificate
of registration which is issued by the | ||||||
25 | Department to a retailer under the
Retailers' Occupation Tax |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act shall
permit such | ||||||
2 | registrant to engage in a business which is taxable under any
| ||||||
3 | ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section | ||||||
4 | without
registering separately with the Department under such | ||||||
5 | ordinance or
resolution or under this Section. The Department | ||||||
6 | shall have full power
to administer and enforce this Section; | ||||||
7 | to collect all taxes and
penalties due hereunder; to dispose of | ||||||
8 | taxes and penalties so collected
in the manner hereinafter | ||||||
9 | provided; and to determine all rights to
credit memoranda | ||||||
10 | arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or
penalty | ||||||
11 | hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
| ||||||
12 | Section the Department and persons who are subject to this | ||||||
13 | Section
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | ||||||
14 | immunities, powers and
duties, and be subject to the same | ||||||
15 | conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties and | ||||||
16 | definitions of terms, and employ the same
modes of procedure, | ||||||
17 | as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3 through
3-50 (in | ||||||
18 | respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate of
| ||||||
19 | tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to the | ||||||
20 | taxing
county), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which | ||||||
21 | the tax shall be a
debt to the extent indicated in that Section | ||||||
22 | 8 shall be the taxing county),
9 (except as to the disposition | ||||||
23 | of taxes and penalties collected, and
except that the returned | ||||||
24 | merchandise credit for this county tax may not be
taken against | ||||||
25 | any State tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to
| ||||||
26 | Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that any
reference to the State shall mean the taxing county), | ||||||
2 | the first paragraph
of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the | ||||||
3 | Service Occupation Tax
Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform | ||||||
4 | Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if
those provisions were | ||||||
5 | set forth herein.
| ||||||
6 | No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to | ||||||
7 | this Section
unless such county also imposes a tax at the same | ||||||
8 | rate pursuant to Section
5-1006.
| ||||||
9 | Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the | ||||||
10 | authority granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for | ||||||
11 | their serviceman's tax
liability hereunder by separately | ||||||
12 | stating such tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be | ||||||
13 | stated in combination, in a single amount,
with State tax which | ||||||
14 | servicemen are authorized to collect under the
Service Use Tax | ||||||
15 | Act, pursuant to such bracket schedules as the
Department may | ||||||
16 | prescribe.
| ||||||
17 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
18 | made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing credit | ||||||
19 | memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State Comptroller, | ||||||
20 | who shall cause the
order to be drawn for the amount specified, | ||||||
21 | and to the person named,
in such notification from the | ||||||
22 | Department. Such refund shall be paid by
the State Treasurer | ||||||
23 | out of the home rule county retailers' occupation tax fund.
| ||||||
24 | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | ||||||
25 | Treasurer,
ex-officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
26 | collected hereunder. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
2 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
3 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
4 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
5 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
6 | Financing Act, collected under this Section during the second | ||||||
7 | preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond district. | ||||||
8 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
9 | on On
or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
10 | Department shall
prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
11 | disbursement of stated sums
of money to named counties, the | ||||||
12 | counties to be those from
which suppliers and servicemen have | ||||||
13 | paid taxes or penalties hereunder to
the Department during the | ||||||
14 | second preceding calendar month. The amount
to be paid to each | ||||||
15 | county shall be the amount (not including credit
memoranda) | ||||||
16 | collected hereunder during the second preceding calendar
month | ||||||
17 | by the Department, and not including an amount equal to the | ||||||
18 | amount
of refunds made during the second preceding calendar | ||||||
19 | month by the
Department on behalf of such county , and not | ||||||
20 | including any amounts that are transferred to the STAR Bonds | ||||||
21 | Revenue Fund . Within 10 days after receipt, by the
Comptroller, | ||||||
22 | of the disbursement certification to the counties provided for
| ||||||
23 | in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by the | ||||||
24 | Department, the
Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn | ||||||
25 | for the respective amounts
in accordance with the directions | ||||||
26 | contained in such certification.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding | ||||||
2 | paragraph, an
allocation shall be made in each year to each | ||||||
3 | county which received more
than $500,000 in disbursements under | ||||||
4 | the preceding paragraph in the
preceding calendar year. The | ||||||
5 | allocation shall be in an amount equal to the
average monthly | ||||||
6 | distribution made to each such county under the preceding
| ||||||
7 | paragraph during the preceding calendar year (excluding the 2 | ||||||
8 | months of
highest receipts). The distribution made in March of | ||||||
9 | each year
subsequent to the year in which an allocation was | ||||||
10 | made pursuant to this
paragraph and the preceding paragraph | ||||||
11 | shall be reduced by the
amount allocated and disbursed under | ||||||
12 | this paragraph in the preceding
calendar year. The Department | ||||||
13 | shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller
for disbursement | ||||||
14 | the allocations made in accordance with this paragraph.
| ||||||
15 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
| ||||||
16 | county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
| ||||||
17 | business which under the Constitution of the United States may | ||||||
18 | not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
19 | An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax | ||||||
20 | hereunder or
effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be | ||||||
21 | adopted and a certified

16 | Sec. 8-11-1. Home Rule Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax | ||||||
17 | Act. The
corporate authorities of a home rule municipality may
| ||||||
18 | impose a tax upon all persons engaged in the business of | ||||||
19 | selling tangible
personal property, other than an item of | ||||||
20 | tangible personal property titled
or registered with an agency | ||||||
21 | of this State's government, at retail in the
municipality on | ||||||
22 | the gross receipts from these sales made in
the course of such | ||||||
23 | business. If imposed, the tax shall only
be imposed in 1/4% | ||||||
24 | increments. On and after September 1, 1991, this
additional tax | ||||||
25 | may not be imposed on the sales of food for human
consumption |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that is to be consumed off the premises where it
is sold (other | ||||||
2 | than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food that has
been | ||||||
3 | prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
| ||||||
4 | nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and | ||||||
5 | insulin, urine
testing materials, syringes and needles used by | ||||||
6 | diabetics. The tax imposed
by a home rule municipality under | ||||||
7 | this Section and all
civil penalties that may be assessed as an | ||||||
8 | incident of the tax shall
be collected and enforced by the | ||||||
9 | State Department of
Revenue. The certificate of registration | ||||||
10 | that is issued by
the Department to a retailer under the | ||||||
11 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
shall permit the retailer to | ||||||
12 | engage in a business that is taxable
under any ordinance or | ||||||
13 | resolution enacted pursuant to
this Section without | ||||||
14 | registering separately with the Department under such
| ||||||
15 | ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department | ||||||
16 | shall have
full power to administer and enforce this Section; | ||||||
17 | to collect all taxes and
penalties due hereunder; to dispose of | ||||||
18 | taxes and penalties so collected in
the manner hereinafter | ||||||
19 | provided; and to determine all rights to
credit memoranda | ||||||
20 | arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or
penalty | ||||||
21 | hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
| ||||||
22 | Section the Department and persons who are subject to this | ||||||
23 | Section shall
have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | ||||||
24 | immunities, powers and duties,
and be subject to the same | ||||||
25 | conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties
and | ||||||
26 | definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | as are
prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, | ||||||

6 | 10, 11,
12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and | ||||||
7 | Section 3-7 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully | ||||||
8 | as if those provisions were
set forth herein.
| ||||||
9 | No tax may be imposed by a home rule municipality under | ||||||
10 | this Section
unless the municipality also imposes a tax at the | ||||||
11 | same rate under Section
8-11-5 of this Act.
| ||||||
12 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
13 | granted in this
Section may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
14 | seller's tax liability hereunder
by separately stating that tax | ||||||
15 | as an additional charge, which charge may be
stated in | ||||||
16 | combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers | ||||||
17 | are
required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such | ||||||
18 | bracket
schedules as the Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
19 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
20 | made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
21 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | ||||||
22 | Comptroller, who shall cause the
order to be drawn for the | ||||||
23 | amount specified and to the person named
in the notification | ||||||
24 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the
State | ||||||
25 | Treasurer out of the home rule municipal retailers' occupation | ||||||
26 | tax fund.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
| ||||||
2 | Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
3 | collected
hereunder. | ||||||
4 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
5 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
6 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
7 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
8 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
9 | Financing Act, collected under this Section during the second | ||||||
10 | preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond district. | ||||||
11 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
12 | on On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
| ||||||
13 | Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
14 | disbursement of
stated sums of money to named municipalities, | ||||||
15 | the municipalities to be
those from which retailers have paid | ||||||
16 | taxes or penalties hereunder to the
Department during the | ||||||
17 | second preceding calendar month. The amount to be
paid to each | ||||||
18 | municipality shall be the amount (not including credit
| ||||||
19 | memoranda) collected hereunder during the second preceding | ||||||
20 | calendar month
by the Department plus an amount the Department | ||||||
21 | determines is necessary to
offset any amounts that were | ||||||
22 | erroneously paid to a different
taxing body, and not including | ||||||
23 | an amount equal to the amount of refunds
made during the second | ||||||
24 | preceding calendar month by the Department on
behalf of such | ||||||
25 | municipality, and not including any amount that the Department
| ||||||
26 | determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were payable |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to a
different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the | ||||||
2 | municipality , and not including any amounts that are | ||||||
3 | transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund . Within
10 days | ||||||
4 | after receipt by the Comptroller of the disbursement | ||||||
5 | certification
to the municipalities provided for in this | ||||||
6 | Section to be given to the
Comptroller by the Department, the | ||||||
7 | Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
drawn for the | ||||||
8 | respective amounts in accordance with the directions
contained | ||||||
9 | in the certification.
| ||||||
10 | In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding | ||||||
11 | paragraph and
in order to mitigate delays caused by | ||||||
12 | distribution procedures, an
allocation shall, if requested, be | ||||||
13 | made within 10 days after January 14,
1991, and in November of | ||||||
14 | 1991 and each year thereafter, to each
municipality that | ||||||
15 | received more than $500,000 during the preceding fiscal
year, | ||||||
16 | (July 1 through June 30) whether collected by the municipality | ||||||
17 | or
disbursed by the Department as required by this Section. | ||||||
18 | Within 10 days
after January 14, 1991, participating | ||||||
19 | municipalities shall notify the
Department in writing of their | ||||||
20 | intent to participate. In addition, for the
initial | ||||||
21 | distribution, participating municipalities shall certify to | ||||||
22 | the
Department the amounts collected by the municipality for | ||||||
23 | each month under
its home rule occupation and service | ||||||
24 | occupation tax during the period July
1, 1989 through June 30, | ||||||
25 | 1990. The allocation within 10 days after January
14, 1991, | ||||||
26 | shall be in an amount equal to the monthly average of these
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amounts, excluding the 2 months of highest receipts. The | ||||||
2 | monthly average
for the period of July 1, 1990 through June 30, | ||||||
3 | 1991 will be determined as
follows: the amounts collected by | ||||||
4 | the municipality under its home rule
occupation and service | ||||||
5 | occupation tax during the period of July 1, 1990
through | ||||||
6 | September 30, 1990, plus amounts collected by the Department | ||||||
7 | and
paid to such municipality through June 30, 1991, excluding | ||||||
8 | the 2 months of
highest receipts. The monthly average for each | ||||||
9 | subsequent period of July 1
through June 30 shall be an amount | ||||||
10 | equal to the monthly distribution made
to each such | ||||||
11 | municipality under the preceding paragraph during this period,
| ||||||
12 | excluding the 2 months of highest receipts. The distribution | ||||||
13 | made in
November 1991 and each year thereafter under this | ||||||
14 | paragraph and the
preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the | ||||||
15 | amount allocated and disbursed
under this paragraph in the | ||||||
16 | preceding period of July 1 through June 30.
The Department | ||||||
17 | shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller for
disbursement | ||||||
18 | the allocations made in accordance with this paragraph.
| ||||||
19 | For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit | ||||||
20 | whose tax
is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of coal or | ||||||
21 | other mineral
mined in Illinois is a sale at retail at the | ||||||
22 | place where the coal or
other mineral mined in Illinois is | ||||||
23 | extracted from the earth. This
paragraph does not apply to coal | ||||||
24 | or other mineral when it is delivered
or shipped by the seller | ||||||
25 | to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so
that the sale | ||||||
26 | is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale in
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
2 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
| ||||||
3 | municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
4 | any
business which under the Constitution of the United States | ||||||
5 | may not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
6 | An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax | ||||||
7 | hereunder or

whereupon the Department | ||||||
10 | shall proceed to administer and enforce this
Section as of the | ||||||
11 | first day of September next following the
adoption and filing. | ||||||
12 | Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance or resolution
imposing | ||||||
13 | or discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a change in the

22 | on or before the first day of
October, whereupon the Department | ||||||
23 | shall proceed to administer and enforce
this Section as of the | ||||||
24 | first day of January next following the
adoption and filing.

25 | However, a municipality located in a county with a population | ||||||
26 | in excess of
3,000,000 that elected to become a home rule unit |
| |||||||
| |||||||

election in
1994 may adopt an ordinance | ||||||
2 | or resolution imposing the tax under this Section
and file a | ||||||
3 | certified copy of the ordinance or resolution with the | ||||||

16 | day of January next following the adoption and filing.
| ||||||
17 | When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a | ||||||
18 | municipality
under this Section, the Department shall increase | ||||||
19 | or decrease the amount by
an amount necessary to offset any | ||||||
20 | misallocation of previous disbursements.
The offset amount | ||||||
21 | shall be the amount erroneously disbursed
within the previous 6 | ||||||
22 | months from the time a misallocation is discovered.

19 | Occupation Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home | ||||||
20 | rule municipality may impose
a tax upon all persons engaged in | ||||||
21 | the business of selling tangible
personal property, other than | ||||||
22 | on an item of tangible personal property
which is titled and | ||||||
23 | registered by an agency of this State's Government,
at retail | ||||||
24 | in the municipality for expenditure on
public infrastructure or | ||||||
25 | for property tax relief or both as defined in
Section 8-11-1.2 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | if approved by
referendum as provided in Section 8-11-1.1, of | ||||||
2 | the gross receipts from such
sales made in the course of such | ||||||
3 | business.
The tax imposed may not be more than 1% and may be | ||||||
4 | imposed only in
1/4% increments. The tax may not be imposed on | ||||||
5 | the sale of food for human
consumption that is
to be consumed | ||||||

7 | beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for | ||||||
8 | immediate
consumption) and prescription and nonprescription | ||||||
9 | medicines, drugs, medical
appliances, and insulin, urine | ||||||

diabetics.
The | ||||||
11 | tax imposed by a
municipality pursuant to this Section and all | ||||||
12 | civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof | ||||||
13 | shall be collected and enforced by the
State Department of | ||||||
14 | Revenue. The certificate of registration which is
issued by the | ||||||
15 | Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
| ||||||
16 | Act shall permit such retailer to engage in a business which is | ||||||
17 | taxable
under any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to
| ||||||
18 | this Section without registering separately with the | ||||||
19 | Department under
such ordinance or resolution or under this | ||||||
20 | Section. The Department
shall have full power to administer and | ||||||
21 | enforce this Section; to collect
all taxes and penalties due | ||||||
22 | hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties
so collected in | ||||||
23 | the manner hereinafter provided, and to determine all
rights to | ||||||
24 | credit memoranda, arising on account of the erroneous payment
| ||||||
25 | of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of, and | ||||||
26 | compliance
with, this Section, the Department and persons who |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | are subject to this
Section shall have the same rights, | ||||||
2 | remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers and duties, and be | ||||||
3 | subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
limitations, | ||||||
4 | penalties and definitions of terms, and employ the same
modes | ||||||
5 | of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, | ||||||

Act as fully as | ||||||
12 | if those provisions were set forth herein.
| ||||||
13 | No municipality may impose a tax under this Section unless | ||||||
14 | the municipality
also imposes a tax at the same rate under | ||||||
15 | Section 8-11-1.4 of this Code.
| ||||||
16 | Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the | ||||||
17 | authority granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for | ||||||
18 | their seller's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating | ||||||
19 | such tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be stated in | ||||||
20 | combination, in a single amount,
with State tax which sellers | ||||||
21 | are required to collect under the Use Tax
Act, pursuant to such | ||||||
22 | bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
23 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
24 | made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
25 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | ||||||
26 | Comptroller, who shall cause the
order to be drawn for the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | amount specified, and to the person named,
in such notification | ||||||
2 | from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by
the State | ||||||
3 | Treasurer out of the non-home rule municipal retailers'
| ||||||
4 | occupation tax fund.
| ||||||
5 | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | ||||||
6 | Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
7 | collected hereunder. | ||||||
8 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
9 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
10 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||

12 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
13 | Financing Act, collected under this Section during the second | ||||||
14 | preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond district. | ||||||
15 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
16 | on On or
before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
17 | Department shall
prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
18 | disbursement of stated sums
of money to named municipalities, | ||||||
19 | the municipalities to be those from
which retailers have paid | ||||||
20 | taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department
during the | ||||||
21 | second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
| ||||||
22 | municipality shall be the amount (not including credit | ||||||
23 | memoranda) collected
hereunder during the second preceding | ||||||
24 | calendar month by the Department plus
an amount the Department | ||||||
25 | determines is necessary to offset any amounts
which were | ||||||
26 | erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not including
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the second | ||||||
2 | preceding
calendar month by the Department on behalf of such | ||||||
3 | municipality, and not
including any amount which the Department | ||||||
4 | determines is necessary to offset
any amounts which were | ||||||
5 | payable to a different taxing body but were
erroneously paid to | ||||||
6 | the municipality , and not including any amounts that are | ||||||
7 | transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund . Within 10 days | ||||||
8 | after receipt, by the
Comptroller, of the disbursement | ||||||
9 | certification to the municipalities,
provided for in this | ||||||
10 | Section to be given to the Comptroller by the
Department, the | ||||||
11 | Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the
| ||||||
12 | respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained | ||||||
13 | in such
certification.
| ||||||
14 | For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit | ||||||
15 | whose tax
is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer of coal | ||||||
16 | or other mineral
mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail at the | ||||||
17 | place where the coal or
other mineral mined in Illinois is | ||||||
18 | extracted from the earth. This
paragraph does not apply to coal | ||||||
19 | or other mineral when it is delivered
or shipped by the seller | ||||||
20 | to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so
that the sale | ||||||
21 | is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
| ||||||
22 | interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
23 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a

22 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
23 | Financing Act, collected under this Section during the second | ||||||
24 | preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond district. | ||||||
25 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
26 | on On or before the 25th
day of each calendar month, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller the | ||||||
2 | disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
| ||||||
3 | the municipalities to be those from which suppliers and | ||||||
4 | servicemen have paid
taxes or penalties hereunder to the | ||||||
5 | Department during the second preceding
calendar month. The | ||||||
6 | amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount
(not | ||||||
7 | including credit memoranda) collected hereunder during the | ||||||
8 | second
preceding calendar month by the Department, and not | ||||||
9 | including an amount equal
to the amount of refunds made during | ||||||
10 | the second preceding calendar month by the
Department on behalf | ||||||
11 | of such municipality , and not including any amounts that are | ||||||
12 | transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund . Within 10 days | ||||||
13 | after receipt by the
Comptroller of the disbursement | ||||||
14 | certification to the municipalities and the
General Revenue | ||||||
15 | Fund, provided for in this Section to be given to the
| ||||||
16 | Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the | ||||||
17 | orders to be
drawn for the respective amounts in accordance | ||||||
18 | with the directions contained in

20 | municipality
under this Section, the Department shall increase | ||||||
21 | or decrease the amount by an
amount necessary to offset any | ||||||
22 | misallocation of previous disbursements. The
offset amount | ||||||
23 | shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous 6
| ||||||
24 | months from the time a misallocation is discovered.
| ||||||
25 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a | ||||||
26 | municipality to
impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | any business which under the
constitution of the United States | ||||||
2 | may not be made the subject of taxation by
this State.

6 | Act. The
corporate authorities of a home rule municipality may
| ||||||
7 | impose a tax upon all persons engaged, in such municipality, in | ||||||
8 | the
business of making sales of service at the same rate of tax | ||||||
9 | imposed
pursuant to Section 8-11-1, of the selling price of all | ||||||
10 | tangible personal
property transferred by such servicemen | ||||||
11 | either in the form of tangible
personal property or in the form | ||||||
12 | of real estate as an incident to a sale of
service. If imposed, | ||||||
13 | such tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On

14 | September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be imposed on | ||||||
15 | the
sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed | ||||||

25 | issued
by the Department to a retailer under the Retailers' |

such registrant to engage in a business which is | ||||||
3 | taxable under any
ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to | ||||||
4 | this Section without
registering separately with the | ||||||
5 | Department under such ordinance or
resolution or under this | ||||||
6 | Section. The Department shall have full power
to administer and | ||||||
7 | enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and
penalties due | ||||||
8 | hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected
in | ||||||
9 | the manner hereinafter provided, and to determine all rights to

12 | compliance with, this
Section the Department and persons who | ||||||
13 | are subject to this Section
shall have the same rights, | ||||||
14 | remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and
duties, and be | ||||||
15 | subject to the same conditions, restrictions,

be a debt to the | ||||||
22 | extent indicated in that Section 8 shall be the taxing
| ||||||
23 | municipality), 9 (except as to the disposition of taxes and | ||||||
24 | penalties
collected, and except that the returned merchandise | ||||||
25 | credit for this
municipal tax may not be taken against any | ||||||

8 | No tax may be imposed by a home rule municipality pursuant | ||||||
9 | to this
Section unless such municipality also imposes a tax at | ||||||
10 | the same rate
pursuant to Section 8-11-1 of this Act.
| ||||||
11 | Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the | ||||||
12 | authority granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for | ||||||
13 | their serviceman's tax
liability hereunder by separately | ||||||
14 | stating such tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be | ||||||
15 | stated in combination, in a single amount,
with State tax which | ||||||
16 | servicemen are authorized to collect under the
Service Use Tax | ||||||
17 | Act, pursuant to such bracket schedules as the
Department may | ||||||
18 | prescribe.
| ||||||
19 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
20 | made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing credit | ||||||
21 | memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State Comptroller, | ||||||
22 | who shall cause the
order to be drawn for the amount specified, | ||||||
23 | and to the person named,
in such notification from the | ||||||
24 | Department. Such refund shall be paid by
the State Treasurer | ||||||
25 | out of the home rule municipal retailers' occupation
tax fund.
| ||||||
26 | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Treasurer,
ex-officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
2 | collected hereunder. | ||||||
3 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
4 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
5 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
6 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
7 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
8 | Financing Act, collected under this Section during the second | ||||||
9 | preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond district. | ||||||
10 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
11 | on On
or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
12 | Department shall
prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
13 | disbursement of stated sums
of money to named municipalities, | ||||||
14 | the municipalities to be those from
which suppliers and | ||||||
15 | servicemen have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to
the | ||||||
16 | Department during the second preceding calendar month. The | ||||||
17 | amount
to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount (not | ||||||
18 | including credit
memoranda) collected hereunder during the | ||||||
19 | second preceding calendar
month by the Department, and not | ||||||
20 | including an amount equal to the amount
of refunds made during | ||||||
21 | the second preceding calendar month by the
Department on behalf | ||||||
22 | of such municipality , and not including any amounts that are | ||||||
23 | transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund . Within 10 days | ||||||
24 | after receipt, by
the Comptroller, of the disbursement | ||||||
25 | certification to the municipalities,
provided for in this | ||||||
26 | Section to be given to the Comptroller by the
Department, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the
| ||||||
2 | respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained | ||||||
3 | in such
certification.
| ||||||
4 | In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding | ||||||
5 | paragraph and
in order to mitigate delays caused by | ||||||
6 | distribution procedures, an
allocation shall, if requested, be | ||||||
7 | made within 10 days after January 14, 1991,
and in November of | ||||||
8 | 1991 and each year thereafter, to each municipality that
| ||||||
9 | received more than $500,000 during the preceding fiscal year, | ||||||
10 | (July 1 through
June 30) whether collected by the municipality | ||||||
11 | or disbursed by the Department
as required by this Section. | ||||||
12 | Within 10 days after January 14, 1991,
participating | ||||||
13 | municipalities shall notify the Department in writing of their
| ||||||
14 | intent to participate. In addition, for the initial | ||||||
15 | distribution,
participating municipalities shall certify to | ||||||
16 | the Department the amounts
collected by the municipality for | ||||||
17 | each month under its home rule occupation and
service | ||||||
18 | occupation tax during the period July 1, 1989 through June 30, | ||||||
19 | 1990.
The allocation within 10 days after January 14, 1991,
| ||||||
20 | shall be in an amount equal to the monthly average of these | ||||||
21 | amounts,
excluding the 2 months of highest receipts. Monthly | ||||||
22 | average for the period
of July 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991 | ||||||
23 | will be determined as follows: the
amounts collected by the | ||||||
24 | municipality under its home rule occupation and
service | ||||||
25 | occupation tax during the period of July 1, 1990 through | ||||||
26 | September 30,
1990, plus amounts collected by the Department |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and paid to such
municipality through June 30, 1991, excluding | ||||||
2 | the 2 months of highest
receipts. The monthly average for each | ||||||
3 | subsequent period of July 1 through
June 30 shall be an amount | ||||||
4 | equal to the monthly distribution made to each
such | ||||||
5 | municipality under the preceding paragraph during this period,
| ||||||
6 | excluding the 2 months of highest receipts. The distribution | ||||||
7 | made in
November 1991 and each year thereafter under this | ||||||
8 | paragraph and the
preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the | ||||||
9 | amount allocated and disbursed
under this paragraph in the | ||||||
10 | preceding period of July 1 through June 30.
The Department | ||||||
11 | shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller for
disbursement | ||||||
12 | the allocations made in accordance with this paragraph.
| ||||||
13 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
| ||||||
14 | municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
15 | any
business which under the constitution of the United States | ||||||
16 | may not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.

17 | An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax | ||||||
18 | hereunder or
effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be | ||||||

24 | (a) If the corporate authorities of a municipality have | ||||||
25 | approved a business district development or redevelopment plan |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | and have elected to impose a tax by ordinance pursuant to | ||||||
2 | subsections (b), (c), or (d) of this Section, each year after | ||||||
3 | the date of the approval of the ordinance and until all | ||||||
4 | business district project costs and all municipal obligations | ||||||
5 | financing the business district project costs, if any, have | ||||||
6 | been paid in accordance with the business district development | ||||||
7 | or redevelopment plan, but in no event longer than 23 years | ||||||
8 | after the date of adoption of the ordinance approving the | ||||||
9 | business district development or redevelopment plan, all | ||||||
10 | amounts generated by the retailers' occupation tax and service | ||||||
11 | occupation tax shall be collected and the tax shall be enforced | ||||||
12 | by the Department of Revenue in the same manner as all | ||||||
13 | retailers' occupation taxes and service occupation taxes | ||||||
14 | imposed in the municipality imposing the tax and all amounts | ||||||
15 | generated by the hotel operators' occupation tax shall be | ||||||
16 | collected and the tax shall be enforced by the municipality in | ||||||
17 | the same manner as all hotel operators' occupation taxes | ||||||
18 | imposed in the municipality imposing the tax. The corporate | ||||||
19 | authorities of the municipality shall deposit the proceeds of | ||||||
20 | the taxes imposed under subsections (b), (c), and (d) into a | ||||||
21 | special fund held by the corporate authorities of the | ||||||
22 | municipality called the Business District Tax Allocation Fund | ||||||
23 | for the purpose of paying business district project costs and | ||||||
24 | obligations incurred in the payment of those costs. | ||||||
25 | (b) The corporate authorities of a municipality that has | ||||||
26 | established a business district under this Division 74.3 may, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | by ordinance or resolution, impose a Business District | ||||||
2 | Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in the | ||||||
3 | business of selling tangible personal property, other than an | ||||||
4 | item of tangible personal property titled or registered with an | ||||||
5 | agency of this State's government, at retail in the business | ||||||
6 | district at a rate not to exceed 1% of the gross receipts from | ||||||
7 | the sales made in the course of such business, to be imposed | ||||||
8 | only in 0.25% increments. The tax may not be imposed on food | ||||||
9 | for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises | ||||||
10 | where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, | ||||||
11 | and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption),
| ||||||
12 | prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical | ||||||
13 | appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of | ||||||
14 | rendering it usable by a disabled person, and insulin, urine | ||||||
15 | testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for | ||||||
16 | human use. | ||||||
17 | The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil | ||||||
18 | penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be | ||||||
19 | collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The | ||||||
20 | certificate of registration that is issued by the Department to | ||||||
21 | a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit | ||||||
22 | the retailer to engage in a business that is taxable under any | ||||||
23 | ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this subsection | ||||||
24 | without registering separately with the Department under such | ||||||
25 | ordinance or resolution or under this subsection. The | ||||||
26 | Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties due | ||||||
2 | under this subsection in the manner hereinafter provided; and | ||||||
3 | to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account | ||||||
4 | of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this | ||||||
5 | subsection. In the administration of, and compliance with, this | ||||||
6 | subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this | ||||||
7 | subsection shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | ||||||
8 | immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same | ||||||
9 | conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, | ||||||
10 | exemptions, and definitions of terms and employ the same modes | ||||||
11 | of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a through 1o, 2 | ||||||
12 | through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other than | ||||||
13 | the State rate of tax), 2c through 2h, 3 (except as to the | ||||||
14 | disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5c, | ||||||
15 | 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, | ||||||
16 | 12, 13, and 14 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and all | ||||||
17 | provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as | ||||||
18 | if those provisions were set forth herein. | ||||||
19 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under this subsection | ||||||
20 | may reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability under | ||||||
21 | this subsection by separately stating the tax as an additional | ||||||
22 | charge, which charge may be stated in combination, in a single | ||||||
23 | amount, with State taxes that sellers are required to collect | ||||||
24 | under the Use Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket | ||||||
25 | schedules as the Department may prescribe. | ||||||
26 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
2 | credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State | ||||||
3 | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the | ||||||
4 | amount specified and to the person named in the notification | ||||||
5 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
6 | Treasurer out of the business district retailers' occupation | ||||||
7 | tax fund. | ||||||
8 | The Department shall immediately pay over to the State | ||||||
9 | Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes, penalties, and | ||||||
10 | interest collected under this subsection for deposit into the | ||||||
11 | business district retailers' occupation tax fund. | ||||||
12 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
13 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
14 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
15 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
16 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
17 | Financing Act, collected under this subsection during the | ||||||
18 | second preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond | ||||||
19 | district. | ||||||
20 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
21 | on On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
22 | Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
23 | disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities | ||||||
24 | from the business district retailers' occupation tax fund, the | ||||||
25 | municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid taxes | ||||||
26 | or penalties under this subsection to the Department during the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each | ||||||
2 | municipality shall be the amount (not including credit | ||||||
3 | memoranda) collected under this subsection during the second | ||||||
4 | preceding calendar month by the Department plus an amount the | ||||||
5 | Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that | ||||||
6 | were erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not | ||||||
7 | including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during | ||||||
8 | the second preceding calendar month by the Department, less 2% | ||||||
9 | of that amount, which shall be deposited into the Tax | ||||||
10 | Compliance and Administration Fund and shall be used by the | ||||||
11 | Department, subject to appropriation, to cover the costs of the | ||||||
12 | Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of | ||||||
13 | this subsection, on behalf of such municipality, and not | ||||||
14 | including any amount that the Department determines is | ||||||
15 | necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a | ||||||
16 | different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the | ||||||
17 | municipality , and not including any amounts that are | ||||||
18 | transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund . Within 10 days | ||||||
19 | after receipt by the Comptroller of the disbursement | ||||||
20 | certification to the municipalities provided for in this | ||||||
21 | subsection to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, | ||||||
22 | the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the | ||||||
23 | respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained | ||||||
24 | in the certification. The proceeds of the tax paid to | ||||||
25 | municipalities under this subsection shall be deposited into | ||||||
26 | the Business District Tax Allocation Fund by the municipality.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the | ||||||
2 | tax under this subsection or effecting a change in the rate | ||||||
3 | thereof shall either (i) be adopted and a certified copy | ||||||
4 | thereof filed with the Department on or before the first day of | ||||||
5 | April, whereupon the Department, if all other requirements of | ||||||
6 | this subsection are met, shall proceed to administer and | ||||||
7 | enforce this subsection as of the first day of July next | ||||||
8 | following the adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a | ||||||
9 | certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or before | ||||||
10 | the first day of October, whereupon, if all other requirements | ||||||
11 | of this subsection are met, the Department shall proceed to | ||||||
12 | administer and enforce this subsection as of the first day of | ||||||
13 | January next following the adoption and filing. | ||||||
14 | The Department of Revenue shall not administer or enforce | ||||||
15 | an ordinance imposing, discontinuing, or changing the rate of | ||||||
16 | the tax under this subsection, until the municipality also | ||||||
17 | provides, in the manner prescribed by the Department, the | ||||||
18 | boundaries of the business district in such a way that the | ||||||
19 | Department can determine by its address whether a business is | ||||||
20 | located in the business district. The municipality must provide | ||||||
21 | this boundary information to the Department on or before April | ||||||
22 | 1 for administration and enforcement of the tax under this | ||||||
23 | subsection by the Department beginning on the following July 1 | ||||||
24 | and on or before October 1 for administration and enforcement | ||||||
25 | of the tax under this subsection by the Department beginning on | ||||||
26 | the following January 1. The Department of Revenue shall not |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | administer or enforce any change made to the boundaries of a | ||||||
2 | business district until the municipality reports the boundary | ||||||
3 | change to the Department in the manner prescribed by the | ||||||
4 | Department. The municipality must provide this boundary change | ||||||
5 | information to the Department on or before April 1 for | ||||||
6 | administration and enforcement by the Department of the change | ||||||
7 | beginning on the following July 1 and on or before October 1 | ||||||
8 | for administration and enforcement by the Department of the | ||||||
9 | change beginning on the following January 1. The retailers in | ||||||
10 | the business district shall be responsible for charging the tax | ||||||
11 | imposed under this subsection. If a retailer is incorrectly | ||||||
12 | included or excluded from the list of those required to collect | ||||||
13 | the tax under this subsection, both the Department of Revenue | ||||||
14 | and the retailer shall be held harmless if they reasonably | ||||||
15 | relied on information provided by the municipality. | ||||||
16 | A municipality that imposes the tax under this subsection | ||||||
17 | must submit to the Department of Revenue any other information | ||||||
18 | as the Department may require for the administration and | ||||||
19 | enforcement of the tax.
| ||||||
20 | When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a | ||||||
21 | municipality under this subsection, the Department shall | ||||||
22 | increase or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to | ||||||
23 | offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset | ||||||
24 | amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the | ||||||
25 | previous 6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered. | ||||||
26 | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging | ||||||
2 | in any business which under the Constitution of the United | ||||||
3 | States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State. | ||||||
4 | If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall | ||||||
5 | also be imposed under subsection (c) of this Section. | ||||||
6 | (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a | ||||||
7 | Business District Service Occupation Tax shall also be imposed | ||||||
8 | upon all persons engaged, in the business district, in the | ||||||
9 | business of making sales of service, who, as an incident to | ||||||
10 | making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal | ||||||
11 | property within the business district, either in the form of | ||||||
12 | tangible personal property or in the form of real estate as an | ||||||
13 | incident to a sale of service. The tax shall be imposed at the | ||||||
14 | same rate as the tax imposed in subsection (b) and shall not | ||||||
15 | exceed 1% of the selling price of tangible personal property so | ||||||
16 | transferred within the business district, to be imposed only in | ||||||
17 | 0.25% increments. The tax may not be imposed on food for human | ||||||
18 | consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it is | ||||||
19 | sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food | ||||||
20 | that has been prepared for immediate consumption),
| ||||||
21 | prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical | ||||||
22 | appliances, modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of | ||||||
23 | rendering it usable by a disabled person, and insulin, urine | ||||||
24 | testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for | ||||||
25 | human use. | ||||||
26 | The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be | ||||||
2 | collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The | ||||||
3 | certificate of registration which is issued by the Department | ||||||
4 | to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or under | ||||||
5 | the Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit such registrant to | ||||||
6 | engage in a business which is taxable under any ordinance or | ||||||
7 | resolution enacted pursuant to this subsection without | ||||||
8 | registering separately with the Department under such | ||||||
9 | ordinance or resolution or under this subsection. The | ||||||
10 | Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer and | ||||||
11 | enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties due | ||||||
12 | under this subsection; to dispose of taxes and penalties so | ||||||
13 | collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine | ||||||
14 | all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the | ||||||
15 | erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this subsection. In | ||||||
16 | the administration of, and compliance with this subsection, the | ||||||
17 | Department and persons who are subject to this subsection shall | ||||||
18 | have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers | ||||||
19 | and duties, and be subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
20 | restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions, | ||||||
21 | and definitions of terms and employ the same modes of procedure | ||||||
22 | as are prescribed in Sections 2, 2a through 2d, 3 through 3-50 | ||||||
23 | (in respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate | ||||||
24 | of tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to | ||||||
25 | the business district), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction | ||||||
26 | to which the tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | that Section 8 shall be the municipality), 9 (except as to the | ||||||
2 | disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that | ||||||
3 | the returned merchandise credit for this tax may not be taken | ||||||
4 | against any State tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference | ||||||
5 | therein to Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 | ||||||
6 | (except that any reference to the State shall mean the | ||||||
7 | municipality), the first paragraph of Section 15, and Sections | ||||||
8 | 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and all | ||||||
9 | provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as | ||||||
10 | if those provisions were set forth herein. | ||||||
11 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
12 | granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
13 | serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the | ||||||
14 | tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in | ||||||
15 | combination, in a single amount, with State tax that servicemen | ||||||
16 | are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in | ||||||
17 | accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may | ||||||
18 | prescribe. | ||||||
19 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
20 | made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing | ||||||
21 | credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State | ||||||
22 | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the | ||||||
23 | amount specified, and to the person named, in such notification | ||||||
24 | from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
25 | Treasurer out of the business district retailers' occupation | ||||||
26 | tax fund. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | ||||||
2 | Treasurer, ex-officio, as trustee, all taxes, penalties, and | ||||||
3 | interest collected under this subsection for deposit into the | ||||||
4 | business district retailers' occupation tax fund. | ||||||
5 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
6 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
7 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
8 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
9 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
10 | Financing Act, collected under this subsection during the | ||||||
11 | second preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond | ||||||
12 | district. | ||||||
13 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
14 | on On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
15 | Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
16 | disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities | ||||||
17 | from the business district retailers' occupation tax fund, the | ||||||
18 | municipalities to be those from which suppliers and servicemen | ||||||
19 | have paid taxes or penalties under this subsection to the | ||||||
20 | Department during the second preceding calendar month. The | ||||||
21 | amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount (not | ||||||
22 | including credit memoranda) collected under this subsection | ||||||
23 | during the second preceding calendar month by the Department, | ||||||
24 | less 2% of that amount, which shall be deposited into the Tax | ||||||
25 | Compliance and Administration Fund and shall be used by the | ||||||
26 | Department, subject to appropriation, to cover the costs of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of | ||||||
2 | this subsection, and not including an amount equal to the | ||||||
3 | amount of refunds made during the second preceding calendar | ||||||
4 | month by the Department on behalf of such municipality , and not | ||||||
5 | including any amounts that are transferred to the STAR Bonds | ||||||
6 | Revenue Fund . Within 10 days after receipt, by the Comptroller, | ||||||
7 | of the disbursement certification to the municipalities, | ||||||
8 | provided for in this subsection to be given to the Comptroller | ||||||
9 | by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be | ||||||
10 | drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the | ||||||
11 | directions contained in such certification. The proceeds of the | ||||||
12 | tax paid to municipalities under this subsection shall be | ||||||
13 | deposited into the Business District Tax Allocation Fund by the | ||||||
14 | municipality. | ||||||
15 | An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the | ||||||
16 | tax under this subsection or effecting a change in the rate | ||||||
17 | thereof shall either (i) be adopted and a certified copy | ||||||
18 | thereof filed with the Department on or before the first day of | ||||||
19 | April, whereupon the Department, if all other requirements of | ||||||
20 | this subsection are met, shall proceed to administer and | ||||||
21 | enforce this subsection as of the first day of July next | ||||||
22 | following the adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a | ||||||
23 | certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or before | ||||||
24 | the first day of October, whereupon, if all other conditions of | ||||||
25 | this subsection are met, the Department shall proceed to | ||||||
26 | administer and enforce this subsection as of the first day of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | January next following the adoption and filing. | ||||||
2 | The Department of Revenue shall not administer or enforce | ||||||
3 | an ordinance imposing, discontinuing, or changing the rate of | ||||||
4 | the tax under this subsection, until the municipality also | ||||||
5 | provides, in the manner prescribed by the Department, the | ||||||
6 | boundaries of the business district in such a way that the | ||||||
7 | Department can determine by its address whether a business is | ||||||
8 | located in the business district. The municipality must provide | ||||||
9 | this boundary information to the Department on or before April | ||||||
10 | 1 for administration and enforcement of the tax under this | ||||||
11 | subsection by the Department beginning on the following July 1 | ||||||
12 | and on or before October 1 for administration and enforcement | ||||||
13 | of the tax under this subsection by the Department beginning on | ||||||
14 | the following January 1. The Department of Revenue shall not | ||||||
15 | administer or enforce any change made to the boundaries of a | ||||||
16 | business district until the municipality reports the boundary | ||||||
17 | change to the Department in the manner prescribed by the | ||||||
18 | Department. The municipality must provide this boundary change | ||||||
19 | information to the Department on or before April 1 for | ||||||
20 | administration and enforcement by the Department of the change | ||||||
21 | beginning on the following July 1 and on or before October 1 | ||||||
22 | for administration and enforcement by the Department of the | ||||||
23 | change beginning on the following January 1. The retailers in | ||||||
24 | the business district shall be responsible for charging the tax | ||||||
25 | imposed under this subsection. If a retailer is incorrectly | ||||||
26 | included or excluded from the list of those required to collect |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the tax under this subsection, both the Department of Revenue | ||||||
2 | and the retailer shall be held harmless if they reasonably | ||||||
3 | relied on information provided by the municipality. | ||||||
4 | A municipality that imposes the tax under this subsection | ||||||
5 | must submit to the Department of Revenue any other information | ||||||
6 | as the Department may require for the administration and | ||||||
7 | enforcement of the tax.
| ||||||
8 | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
9 | the municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging | ||||||
10 | in any business which under the Constitution of the United | ||||||
11 | States may not be made the subject of taxation by the State. | ||||||
12 | If a tax is imposed under this subsection (c), a tax shall | ||||||
13 | also be imposed under subsection (b) of this Section. | ||||||
14 | (d) By ordinance, a municipality that has established a | ||||||
15 | business district under this Division 74.3 may impose an | ||||||
16 | occupation tax upon all persons engaged in the business | ||||||
17 | district in the business of renting, leasing, or letting rooms | ||||||
18 | in a hotel, as defined in the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax | ||||||
19 | Act, at a rate not to exceed 1% of the gross rental receipts | ||||||
20 | from the renting, leasing, or letting of hotel rooms within the | ||||||
21 | business district, to be imposed only in 0.25% increments, | ||||||
22 | excluding, however, from gross rental receipts the proceeds of | ||||||
23 | renting, leasing, or letting to permanent residents of a hotel, | ||||||
24 | as defined in the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act, and | ||||||
25 | proceeds from the tax imposed under subsection (c) of Section | ||||||
26 | 13 of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority Act. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The tax imposed by the municipality under this subsection | ||||||
2 | and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident to | ||||||
3 | that tax shall be collected and enforced by the municipality | ||||||
4 | imposing the tax. The municipality shall have full power to | ||||||
5 | administer and enforce this subsection, to collect all taxes | ||||||
6 | and penalties due under this subsection, to dispose of taxes | ||||||
7 | and penalties so collected in the manner provided in this | ||||||
8 | subsection, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda | ||||||
9 | arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty | ||||||
10 | under this subsection. In the administration of and compliance | ||||||
11 | with this subsection, the municipality and persons who are | ||||||
12 | subject to this subsection shall have the same rights, | ||||||
13 | remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, shall be | ||||||
14 | subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, | ||||||
15 | penalties, and definitions of terms, and shall employ the same | ||||||
16 | modes of procedure as are employed with respect to a tax | ||||||
17 | adopted by the municipality under Section 8-3-14 of this Code. | ||||||
18 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
19 | granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
20 | tax liability for that tax by separately stating that tax as an | ||||||
21 | additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination, | ||||||
22 | in a single amount, with State taxes imposed under the Hotel | ||||||
23 | Operators' Occupation Tax Act, and with any other tax. | ||||||
24 | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
25 | a municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging | ||||||
26 | in any business which under the Constitution of the United |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State. | ||||||
2 | The proceeds of the tax imposed under this subsection shall | ||||||
3 | be deposited into the Business District Tax Allocation Fund.
| ||||||
4 | (e) Obligations issued pursuant to subsection (14) of | ||||||
5 | Section 11-74.3-3 shall be retired in the manner provided in | ||||||
6 | the ordinance authorizing the issuance of those obligations by | ||||||
7 | the receipts of taxes levied as authorized in subsections (12) | ||||||
8 | and (13) of Section 11-74.3-3. The ordinance shall pledge all | ||||||
9 | of the amounts in and to be deposited in the Business District | ||||||
10 | Tax Allocation Fund to the payment of business district project | ||||||
11 | costs and obligations. Obligations issued pursuant to | ||||||
12 | subsection (14) of Section 11-74.3-3 may be sold at public or | ||||||
13 | private sale at a price determined by the corporate authorities | ||||||
14 | of the municipality and no referendum approval of the electors | ||||||
15 | shall be required as a condition to the issuance of those | ||||||
16 | obligations. The ordinance authorizing the obligations may | ||||||
17 | require that the obligations contain a recital that they are | ||||||
18 | issued pursuant to subsection (14) of Section 11-74.3-3 and | ||||||
19 | this recital shall be conclusive evidence of their validity and | ||||||
20 | of the regularity of their issuance. The corporate authorities | ||||||
21 | of the municipality may also issue its obligations to refund, | ||||||
22 | in whole or in part, obligations previously issued by the | ||||||
23 | municipality under the authority of this Code, whether at or | ||||||
24 | prior to maturity. All obligations issued pursuant to | ||||||
25 | subsection (14) of Section 11-74.3-3 shall not be regarded as | ||||||
26 | indebtedness of the municipality issuing the obligations for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the purpose of any limitation imposed by law. | ||||||
2 | (f) When business district costs, including, without | ||||||
3 | limitation, all municipal obligations financing business | ||||||
4 | district project costs incurred under Section 11-74.3-3 have | ||||||
5 | been paid, any surplus funds then remaining in the Business | ||||||
6 | District Tax Allocation Fund shall be distributed to the | ||||||
7 | municipal treasurer for deposit into the municipal general | ||||||
8 | corporate fund. Upon payment of all business district project | ||||||
9 | costs and retirement of obligations, but in no event more than | ||||||
10 | 23 years after the date of adoption of the ordinance approving | ||||||
11 | the business district development or redevelopment plan, the | ||||||
12 | municipality shall adopt an ordinance immediately rescinding | ||||||
13 | the taxes imposed pursuant to subsections (12) and (13) of | ||||||
14 | Section 11-74.3-3.

| ||||||
16 | Section 75. The Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority | ||||||
17 | Act is amended by changing Section 13 as follows:

(a) The Authority shall not have power to levy | ||||||
20 | taxes for any

| ||||||
22 | (b) By ordinance the Authority shall, as soon as | ||||||
23 | practicable after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
24 | 1991, impose a Metropolitan Pier and
Exposition Authority |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in
the | ||||||
2 | business of selling tangible personal property at retail within | ||||||
3 | the
territory described in this subsection at the rate of 1.0% | ||||||
4 | of the gross
receipts (i) from the sale of food, alcoholic | ||||||
5 | beverages, and soft drinks
sold for consumption on the premises | ||||||
6 | where sold and (ii) from the sale of
food, alcoholic beverages, | ||||||
7 | and soft drinks sold for consumption off the
premises where | ||||||
8 | sold by a retailer whose principal source of gross receipts
is | ||||||
9 | from the sale of food, alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks | ||||||
10 | prepared for
immediate consumption.
| ||||||
11 | The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil | ||||||
12 | penalties that may
be assessed as an incident to that tax shall | ||||||
13 | be collected and enforced by the
Illinois Department of | ||||||
14 | Revenue. The Department shall have full power to
administer and | ||||||
15 | enforce this subsection, to collect all taxes and penalties so
| ||||||
16 | collected in the manner provided in this subsection, and to | ||||||
17 | determine all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of | ||||||
18 | the erroneous payment of
tax or penalty under this subsection. | ||||||
19 | In the administration of and
compliance with this subsection, | ||||||
20 | the Department and persons who are subject
to this subsection | ||||||
21 | shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, | ||||||
22 | powers, and duties, shall be subject to the same conditions,
| ||||||
23 | restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions, | ||||||
24 | and
definitions of terms, and shall employ the same modes of | ||||||
25 | procedure
applicable to this Retailers' Occupation Tax as are | ||||||
26 | prescribed in Sections
1, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provisions of those Sections other
than the State rate of | ||||||
2 | taxes), 2c, 2h, 2i, 3 (except as to the disposition
of taxes | ||||||
3 | and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5i,
| ||||||
4 | 5j, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and, and until | ||||||
5 | January 1, 1994, 13.5
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, | ||||||
6 | and, on and after January 1, 1994, all
applicable provisions of | ||||||
7 | the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act that are not
inconsistent | ||||||
8 | with this Act, as fully as if provisions contained in those
| ||||||
9 | Sections of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act were set forth in | ||||||
10 | this
subsection.
| ||||||
11 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
12 | granted in
this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
13 | seller's tax liability
under this subsection by separately | ||||||
14 | stating that tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be | ||||||
15 | stated in combination, in a single amount, with
State taxes | ||||||
16 | that sellers are required to collect under the Use Tax Act,
| ||||||
17 | pursuant to bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
18 | The retailer filing the return shall, at the time of filing the
| ||||||
19 | return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed under | ||||||
20 | this
subsection, less a discount of 1.75%, which is allowed to | ||||||
21 | reimburse the
retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping | ||||||
22 | records, preparing and
filing returns, remitting the tax, and | ||||||
23 | supplying data to the Department on
request.
| ||||||
24 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
25 | made under
this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
26 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Comptroller, who shall cause a warrant
to be drawn for the | ||||||
2 | amount specified and to the person named in the
notification | ||||||
3 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
| ||||||
4 | Treasurer out of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority | ||||||
5 | trust fund
held by the State Treasurer as trustee for the | ||||||
6 | Authority.
| ||||||
7 | Nothing in this subsection authorizes the Authority to | ||||||
8 | impose a tax upon
the privilege of engaging in any business | ||||||
9 | that under the Constitution of
the United States may not be | ||||||
10 | made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
11 | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | ||||||
12 | Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee for the Authority, all taxes | ||||||
13 | and penalties collected
under this subsection for deposit into | ||||||
14 | a trust fund held outside of the
State Treasury. | ||||||
15 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
16 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
17 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
18 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
19 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds | ||||||
20 | Financing Act, collected under this subsection during the | ||||||
21 | second preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond | ||||||
22 | district. | ||||||
23 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
24 | on On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
| ||||||
25 | Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
26 | amounts to be
paid under subsection (g) of this Section, which |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | shall be the amounts, not
including credit memoranda, collected | ||||||
2 | under this subsection during the second
preceding calendar | ||||||
3 | month by the Department, less any amounts determined by the
| ||||||
4 | Department to be necessary for the payment of refunds , and less | ||||||
5 | 2% of such
balance, which sum shall be deposited by the State | ||||||
6 | Treasurer into the Tax

23 | 1991, impose an occupation tax

| |||||||
1 | the gross
rental receipts from the renting, leasing, or letting | ||||||
2 | of hotel rooms within
the City of Chicago, excluding, however, | ||||||
3 | from gross rental receipts
the proceeds of renting, leasing, or | ||||||
4 | letting to permanent residents of
a hotel, as defined in that | ||||||
5 | Act. Gross rental receipts shall not include
charges that are | ||||||
6 | added on account of the liability arising from any tax
imposed | ||||||
7 | by the State or any governmental agency on the occupation of
| ||||||

| ||||||

10 | all civil
penalties that may be assessed as an incident to that | ||||||
11 | tax shall be collected
and enforced by the Illinois Department | ||||||
12 | of Revenue. The certificate of
registration that is issued by | ||||||
13 | the Department to a lessor under the Hotel

| ||||||
15 | business that is taxable under any ordinance enacted under this

19 | subsection, to collect all taxes and penalties
due under this | ||||||
20 | subsection, to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected
in | ||||||
21 | the manner provided in this subsection, and to determine all | ||||||
22 | rights to
credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous | ||||||
23 | payment of tax or
penalty under this subsection. In the | ||||||
24 | administration of and compliance with
this subsection, the | ||||||
25 | Department and persons who are subject to this
subsection shall | ||||||
26 | have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | powers, and duties, shall be subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
2 | restrictions,
limitations, penalties, and definitions of | ||||||
3 | terms, and shall employ the same
modes of procedure as are | ||||||
4 | prescribed in the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax
Act (except | ||||||
5 | where that Act is inconsistent with this subsection), as fully
| ||||||
6 | as if the provisions contained in the Hotel Operators' | ||||||
7 | Occupation Tax Act
were set out in this subsection.
| ||||||
8 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
9 | made under
this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
10 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | ||||||
11 | Comptroller, who shall cause a warrant
to be drawn for the | ||||||
12 | amount specified and to the person named in the
notification | ||||||
13 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
| ||||||
14 | Treasurer out of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority | ||||||
15 | trust fund
held by the State Treasurer as trustee for the | ||||||
16 | Authority.
| ||||||
17 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
18 | granted in
this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
19 | tax liability for that
tax by separately stating that tax as an | ||||||
20 | additional charge,
which charge may be stated in combination, | ||||||
21 | in a single amount, with State
taxes imposed under the Hotel | ||||||
22 | Operators' Occupation Tax Act, the
municipal tax imposed under | ||||||
23 | Section 8-3-13 of the Illinois Municipal
Code, and the tax | ||||||
24 | imposed under Section 19 of the Illinois Sports
Facilities | ||||||
25 | Authority Act.
| ||||||
26 | The person filing the return shall, at the time of filing |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the return,
pay to the Department the amount of tax, less a | ||||||
2 | discount of 2.1% or $25 per
calendar year, whichever is | ||||||
3 | greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
operator for the | ||||||
4 | expenses incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing
| ||||||
5 | returns, remitting the tax, and supplying data to the | ||||||
6 | Department on request.
| ||||||
7 | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | ||||||
8 | Treasurer,
ex officio, as trustee for the Authority, all taxes | ||||||
9 | and penalties collected
under this subsection for deposit into | ||||||
10 | a trust fund held outside the State
Treasury. On or before the | ||||||
11 | 25th day of each calendar month, the Department
shall certify | ||||||
12 | to the Comptroller the amounts to be paid under subsection
(g) | ||||||
13 | of this Section, which shall be the amounts (not including | ||||||
14 | credit
memoranda) collected under this subsection during the | ||||||
15 | second preceding
calendar month by the Department, less any | ||||||

Department to be necessary for | ||||||
17 | payment of refunds. Within 10 days after
receipt by the | ||||||
18 | Comptroller of the Department's certification, the
Comptroller | ||||||
19 | shall cause the orders to be drawn for such amounts, and the
| ||||||
20 | Treasurer shall administer those amounts as required in | ||||||
21 | subsection (g).
| ||||||
22 | A certified copy of any ordinance imposing or discontinuing | ||||||
23 | a tax under this
subsection or effecting a change in the rate | ||||||
24 | of that tax shall be filed with
the Illinois Department of | ||||||
25 | Revenue, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer | ||||||
26 | and enforce this subsection on behalf of the Authority as of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the
first day of the third calendar month following the date of | ||||||
2 | filing.
| ||||||
3 | (d) By ordinance the Authority shall, as soon as | ||||||
4 | practicable after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
5 | 1991, impose a tax
upon all persons engaged in the business of | ||||||
6 | renting automobiles in the
metropolitan area at the rate of 6% | ||||||
7 | of the gross
receipts from that business, except that no tax | ||||||
8 | shall be imposed on the
business of renting automobiles for use | ||||||
9 | as taxicabs or in livery service.
The tax imposed under this | ||||||
10 | subsection and all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an | ||||||
11 | incident to that tax shall be collected and enforced by the
| ||||||
12 | Illinois Department of Revenue. The certificate of | ||||||
13 | registration issued by
the Department to a retailer under the | ||||||
14 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or
under the Automobile Renting | ||||||
15 | Occupation and Use Tax Act shall permit that
person to engage | ||||||
16 | in a business that is taxable under any ordinance enacted
under | ||||||
17 | this subsection without registering separately with the | ||||||
18 | Department
under that ordinance or under this subsection. The | ||||||
19 | Department shall have
full power to administer and enforce this | ||||||
20 | subsection, to collect all taxes
and penalties due under this | ||||||
21 | subsection, to dispose of taxes and penalties
so collected in | ||||||
22 | the manner provided in this subsection, and to determine
all | ||||||
23 | rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous | ||||||
24 | payment
of tax or penalty under this subsection. In the | ||||||
25 | administration of and
compliance with this subsection, the | ||||||
26 | Department and persons who are subject
to this subsection shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, | ||||||
2 | powers, and duties, be subject to the same conditions,
| ||||||
3 | restrictions, limitations, penalties, and definitions of | ||||||
4 | terms, and employ
the same modes of procedure as are prescribed | ||||||
5 | in Sections 2 and 3 (in
respect to all provisions of those | ||||||
6 | Sections other than the State rate of
tax; and in respect to | ||||||
7 | the provisions of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act
referred to | ||||||
8 | in those Sections, except as to the disposition of taxes and
| ||||||
9 | penalties collected, except for the provision allowing | ||||||
10 | retailers a
deduction from the tax to cover certain costs, and | ||||||
11 | except that credit
memoranda issued under this subsection may | ||||||
12 | not be used to discharge any
State tax liability) of the | ||||||
13 | Automobile Renting Occupation and Use Tax Act,
as fully as if | ||||||
14 | provisions contained in those Sections of that Act were set
| ||||||
15 | forth in this subsection.
| ||||||
16 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
17 | granted in
this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
18 | tax liability under this
subsection by separately stating that | ||||||
19 | tax as an additional charge, which
charge may be stated in | ||||||
20 | combination, in a single amount, with State tax
that sellers | ||||||
21 | are required to collect under the Automobile Renting
Occupation | ||||||
22 | and Use Tax Act, pursuant to bracket schedules as the | ||||||
23 | Department
may prescribe.
| ||||||
24 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
25 | made under
this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
26 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Comptroller, who shall cause a warrant to
be drawn for the | ||||||
2 | amount specified and to the person named in the
notification | ||||||
3 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
| ||||||
4 | Treasurer out of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority | ||||||
5 | trust fund
held by the State Treasurer as trustee for the | ||||||
6 | Authority.
| ||||||
7 | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | ||||||
8 | Treasurer, ex officio,
as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
9 | collected under this subsection for
deposit into a trust fund | ||||||
10 | held outside the State Treasury. On or before the
25th day of | ||||||
11 | each calendar month, the Department shall certify

12 | Comptroller the amounts to be paid under subsection (g) of this
| ||||||
13 | Section (not including credit memoranda) collected under this | ||||||
14 | subsection
during the second preceding calendar month by the | ||||||
15 | Department, less any
amount determined by the Department to be | ||||||
16 | necessary for payment of refunds.
Within 10 days after receipt | ||||||
17 | by the Comptroller of the Department's
certification, the | ||||||
18 | Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for such
| ||||||
19 | amounts, and the Treasurer shall administer those amounts as | ||||||
20 | required in
subsection (g).
| ||||||
21 | Nothing in this subsection authorizes the Authority to | ||||||
22 | impose a tax upon
the privilege of engaging in any business | ||||||
23 | that under the Constitution of
the United States may not be | ||||||
24 | made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
25 | A certified copy of any ordinance imposing or discontinuing | ||||||
26 | a tax under
this subsection or effecting a change in the rate |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of that tax shall be
filed with the Illinois Department of | ||||||
2 | Revenue, whereupon the Department
shall proceed to administer | ||||||
3 | and enforce this subsection on behalf of the
Authority as of | ||||||
4 | the first day of the third calendar month following the
date of | ||||||
5 | filing.
| ||||||
6 | (e) By ordinance the Authority shall, as soon as | ||||||
7 | practicable after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
8 | 1991, impose a tax upon the
privilege of using in the | ||||||
9 | metropolitan area an automobile that is rented
from a rentor | ||||||
10 | outside Illinois and is titled or registered with an agency
of | ||||||
11 | this State's government at a rate of 6% of the rental price of | ||||||
12 | that
automobile, except that no tax shall be imposed on the | ||||||
13 | privilege of using
automobiles rented for use as taxicabs or in | ||||||
14 | livery service. The tax shall
be collected from persons whose | ||||||
15 | Illinois address for titling or
registration purposes is given | ||||||
16 | as being in the metropolitan area. The tax
shall be collected | ||||||
17 | by the Department of Revenue for the Authority. The tax
must be | ||||||
18 | paid to the State or an exemption determination must be | ||||||
19 | obtained
from the Department of Revenue before the title or | ||||||
20 | certificate of
registration for the property may be issued. The | ||||||
21 | tax or proof of exemption
may be transmitted to the Department | ||||||
22 | by way of the State agency with which
or State officer with | ||||||
23 | whom the tangible personal property must be titled or
| ||||||
24 | registered if the Department and that agency or State officer | ||||||
25 | determine
that this procedure will expedite the processing of | ||||||
26 | applications for title
or registration.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | The Department shall have full power to administer and | ||||||
2 | enforce this
subsection, to collect all taxes, penalties, and | ||||||
3 | interest due under this
subsection, to dispose of taxes, | ||||||
4 | penalties, and interest so collected in
the manner provided in | ||||||
5 | this subsection, and to determine all rights to
credit | ||||||
6 | memoranda or refunds arising on account of the erroneous | ||||||
7 | payment of
tax, penalty, or interest under this subsection. In | ||||||
8 | the administration of
and compliance with this subsection, the | ||||||
9 | Department and persons who are
subject to this subsection shall | ||||||
10 | have the same rights, remedies,
privileges, immunities, | ||||||
11 | powers, and duties, be subject to the same
conditions, | ||||||
12 | restrictions, limitations, penalties, and definitions of | ||||||
13 | terms,
and employ the same modes of procedure as are prescribed | ||||||
14 | in Sections 2 and
4 (except provisions pertaining to the State | ||||||
15 | rate of tax; and in respect to
the provisions of the Use Tax | ||||||
16 | Act referred to in that Section, except
provisions concerning | ||||||
17 | collection or refunding of the tax by retailers,
except the | ||||||
18 | provisions of Section 19 pertaining to claims by retailers,
| ||||||
19 | except the last paragraph concerning refunds, and except that | ||||||
20 | credit
memoranda issued under this subsection may not be used | ||||||
21 | to discharge any
State tax liability) of the Automobile Renting | ||||||
22 | Occupation and Use Tax Act,
as fully as if provisions contained | ||||||
23 | in those Sections of that Act were set
forth in this | ||||||
24 | subsection.
| ||||||
25 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
26 | made under this
subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a |

shall notify the State | ||||||
2 | Comptroller, who shall cause a warrant to be drawn
for the | ||||||
3 | amount specified and to the person named in the notification
| ||||||
4 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
5 | Treasurer out
of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority | ||||||
6 | trust fund held by the
State Treasurer as trustee for the | ||||||
7 | Authority.
| ||||||
8 | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | ||||||
9 | Treasurer, ex officio,
as trustee, all taxes, penalties, and | ||||||
10 | interest collected under this
subsection for deposit into a | ||||||
11 | trust fund held outside the State Treasury.
On or before the | ||||||
12 | 25th day of each calendar month, the Department shall
certify | ||||||
13 | to the State Comptroller the amounts to be paid under | ||||||
14 | subsection

15 | including credit
memoranda) collected under this subsection | ||||||
16 | during the second preceding
calendar month by the Department, | ||||||
17 | less any amounts determined by the
Department to be necessary | ||||||
18 | for payment of refunds. Within 10 days after
receipt by the | ||||||
19 | State Comptroller of the Department's certification, the
| ||||||
20 | Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for such | ||||||
21 | amounts, and the
Treasurer shall administer those amounts as | ||||||
22 | required in subsection (g).
| ||||||
23 | A certified copy of any ordinance imposing or discontinuing | ||||||
24 | a tax or

25 | filed with the Illinois
Department of Revenue, whereupon the | ||||||
26 | Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subsection on behalf of the Authority as of the first day
of | ||||||
2 | the third calendar month following the date of filing.
| ||||||
3 | (f) By ordinance the Authority shall, as soon as | ||||||
4 | practicable after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of | ||||||
5 | 1991, impose an occupation tax on all
persons, other than a | ||||||
6 | governmental agency, engaged in the business of
providing | ||||||
7 | ground transportation for hire to passengers in the | ||||||
8 | metropolitan
area at a rate of (i) $2 per taxi or livery | ||||||
9 | vehicle departure with
passengers for hire from commercial | ||||||
10 | service airports in the metropolitan
area, (ii) for each | ||||||

21 | the airport, and charging fares on
a per passenger basis: $1 | ||||||
22 | per passenger for hire in each bus or van. The term
"commercial | ||||||
23 | service airports" means those airports receiving scheduled
| ||||||
24 | passenger service and enplaning more than 100,000 passengers | ||||||
25 | per year.
| ||||||
26 | In the ordinance imposing the tax, the Authority may |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | provide for the
administration and enforcement of the tax and | ||||||
2 | the collection of the tax
from persons subject to the tax as | ||||||
3 | the Authority determines to be necessary
or practicable for the | ||||||
4 | effective administration of the tax. The Authority
may enter | ||||||
5 | into agreements as it deems appropriate with any governmental
| ||||||
6 | agency providing for that agency to act as the Authority's | ||||||
7 | agent to
collect the tax.
| ||||||
8 | In the ordinance imposing the tax, the Authority may | ||||||
9 | designate a method or
methods for persons subject to the tax to | ||||||
10 | reimburse themselves for the tax
liability arising under the | ||||||
11 | ordinance (i) by separately stating the full
amount of the tax | ||||||
12 | liability as an additional charge to passengers departing
the | ||||||
13 | airports, (ii) by separately stating one-half of the tax | ||||||
14 | liability as

22 | shall calculate for the previous fiscal year the
surplus | ||||||
23 | revenues in the trust fund and pay that amount to the | ||||||
24 | Authority.
"Surplus revenues" shall mean the difference | ||||||
25 | between the amount in the trust
fund on June 30 of the fiscal | ||||||
26 | year previous to the current fiscal year
(excluding amounts |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | retained for refunds under item "first") minus the amount
| ||||||
2 | deposited in the trust fund during fiscal year 1993 under item | ||||||
3 | "second". Moneys
received by the Authority under item "fifth" | ||||||
4 | may be used solely for the
purposes of paying debt service on | ||||||
5 | the bonds and notes issued by the Authority,
including early | ||||||
6 | redemption of those bonds or notes, and for the purposes of | ||||||
7 | repair, replacement, and improvement of
the grounds, | ||||||
8 | buildings, and facilities of
the Authority; provided that any | ||||||
9 | moneys in excess of
$50,000,000 held
by the Authority as of | ||||||
10 | June 30 in any fiscal year and received by the Authority
under | ||||||
11 | item "fifth" shall be used solely for paying the debt service | ||||||
12 | on or early
redemption of the Authority's bonds or notes. When | ||||||
13 | bonds and notes issued
under Section 13.2, or bonds or notes | ||||||
14 | issued to refund those bonds and notes,
are no longer | ||||||
15 | outstanding, the balance in the trust fund shall be paid to the
| ||||||
16 | Authority.
| ||||||
17 | (h) The ordinances imposing the taxes authorized by this | ||||||
18 | Section shall
be repealed when bonds and notes issued under | ||||||
19 | Section 13.2 or bonds and
notes issued to refund those bonds | ||||||
20 | and notes are no longer outstanding.

6 | ordinance confirming the determination adopted by the | ||||||
7 | affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the county | ||||||
8 | board of the county in which the district is situated, the | ||||||
9 | county may impose a flood prevention
retailers' occupation tax | ||||||
10 | upon all persons engaged in the business of
selling tangible | ||||||
11 | personal property at retail within the territory of the | ||||||
12 | district to provide revenue to pay the costs of providing | ||||||
13 | emergency levee repair and flood prevention and to secure the | ||||||

15 | issued under this Act for a period not to exceed 25 years or as | ||||||
16 | required to repay the bonds, notes, and other evidences of | ||||||
17 | indebtedness issued under this Act.
The tax rate shall be 0.25%
| ||||||
18 | of the gross receipts from all taxable sales made in the course | ||||||
19 | of that
business. The tax
imposed under this Section and all | ||||||
20 | civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof | ||||||
21 | shall be collected and enforced by the
State Department of | ||||||
22 | Revenue. The Department shall have full power to
administer and | ||||||
23 | enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties
so | ||||||
24 | collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine | ||||||
25 | all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the | ||||||
26 | erroneous payment
of tax or penalty hereunder. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | In the administration of and compliance with this | ||||||

3 | subsection (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | ||||||
4 | immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) are subject to the same | ||||||
5 | conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and | ||||||

16 | reimburse themselves for their seller's tax
liability | ||||||
17 | hereunder by separately stating the tax as an additional
| ||||||
18 | charge, which charge may be stated in combination in a single | ||||||
19 | amount
with State taxes that sellers are required to collect | ||||||
20 | under the Use
Tax Act, under any bracket schedules the
| ||||||
21 | Department may prescribe. | ||||||
22 | If a tax is imposed under this subsection (a), a tax shall | ||||||
23 | also
be imposed under subsection (b) of this Section. | ||||||
24 | (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a flood | ||||||
25 | prevention service occupation

also be imposed upon | ||||||
26 | all persons engaged within the territory of the district in
the |
| |||||||
| |||||||

2 | making the sales
of service, transfer tangible personal | ||||||
3 | property,
either in the form of tangible personal property or | ||||||
4 | in the form of real estate
as an incident to a sale of service | ||||||
5 | to provide revenue to pay the costs of providing emergency | ||||||
6 | levee repair and flood prevention and to secure the payment of | ||||||
7 | bonds, notes, and other evidences of indebtedness issued under | ||||||
8 | this Act for a period not to exceed 25 years or as required to | ||||||
9 | repay the bonds, notes, and other evidences of indebtedness. | ||||||
10 | The tax rate shall be 0.25% of the selling price
of all | ||||||
11 | tangible personal property transferred. | ||||||
12 | The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
| ||||||
13 | penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be | ||||||
14 | collected
and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The | ||||||
15 | Department shall
have full power to administer and enforce this | ||||||
16 | subsection; to collect all
taxes and penalties due hereunder; | ||||||
17 | to dispose of taxes and penalties
collected in the manner | ||||||
18 | hereinafter provided; and to determine all
rights to credit | ||||||
19 | memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment
of tax or | ||||||
20 | penalty hereunder. | ||||||
21 | In the administration of and compliance with this | ||||||
22 | subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this | ||||||
23 | subsection shall (i) have the same rights, remedies, | ||||||
24 | privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to | ||||||
25 | the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and | ||||||
26 | definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | procedure as are set forth in Sections 2 (except that the | ||||||
2 | reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a | ||||||
3 | place of business in this State means the district), 2a through | ||||||
4 | 2d, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions contained in | ||||||
5 | those Sections other than the State rate of tax), 4 (except | ||||||
6 | that the reference to the State shall be to the district), 5, | ||||||
7 | 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which the tax is a debt | ||||||
8 | to the extent indicated in that Section 8 is the district), 9 | ||||||
9 | (except as to the disposition of taxes and penalties | ||||||
10 | collected), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section | ||||||
11 | 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any | ||||||
12 | reference to the State means the district), Section 15, 16, 17, | ||||||
13 | 18, 19, and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and all | ||||||
14 | provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as | ||||||
15 | if those provisions were set forth herein. | ||||||
16 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
17 | granted
in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
18 | serviceman's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating the | ||||||
19 | tax as an additional
charge, that charge may be stated in | ||||||
20 | combination in a single amount
with State tax that servicemen | ||||||
21 | are authorized to collect under the
Service Use Tax Act, under | ||||||
22 | any bracket schedules the
Department may prescribe. | ||||||
23 | (c) The taxes imposed in subsections (a) and (b) may not be | ||||||
24 | imposed on personal property titled or registered with an | ||||||
25 | agency of the State; food for human consumption that is to be | ||||||
26 | consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been | ||||||
2 | prepared for immediate consumption); prescription and | ||||||
3 | non-prescription medicines, drugs, and medical appliances; | ||||||
4 | modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering | ||||||
5 | it usable by a disabled person; or insulin, urine testing | ||||||
6 | materials, and syringes and needles used by diabetics. | ||||||
7 | (d) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
8 | the
district to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
9 | any business
that under the Constitution of the United States | ||||||
10 | may not be made the
subject of taxation by the State. | ||||||
11 | (e) The certificate of registration that is issued by the | ||||||
12 | Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax | ||||||
13 | Act or a serviceman under the Service Occupation Tax Act | ||||||
14 | permits the retailer or serviceman to engage in a business that | ||||||
15 | is taxable without registering separately with the Department | ||||||
16 | under an ordinance or resolution under this Section. | ||||||
17 | (f) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State | ||||||
18 | Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties | ||||||
19 | collected under this Section to be deposited into the Flood | ||||||
20 | Prevention Occupation Tax Fund, which shall be an | ||||||
21 | unappropriated trust fund held outside the State treasury. | ||||||
22 | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | ||||||
23 | beginning January 1, 2010, upon certification of the Department | ||||||
24 | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | ||||||
25 | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | ||||||
26 | local sales tax increment, as defined in the STAR Bonds |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Financing Act, collected under this Section during the second | ||||||
2 | preceding calendar month for sales within a STAR bond district. | ||||||
3 | The Department shall make this certification only if the flood | ||||||
4 | prevention district imposes a tax on real property as provided | ||||||
5 | in the definition of "local sales taxes" under the STAR Bonds | ||||||
6 | Financing Act. | ||||||
7 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
8 | on On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
9 | Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the | ||||||
10 | disbursement of stated sums of money to the counties from which | ||||||
11 | retailers or servicemen have paid taxes or penalties to the | ||||||
12 | Department during the second preceding calendar month. The | ||||||
13 | amount to be paid to each county is equal to the amount (not | ||||||
14 | including credit memoranda) collected from the county under | ||||||
15 | this Section during the second preceding calendar month by the | ||||||
16 | Department, (i) less 2% of that amount, which shall be | ||||||
17 | deposited into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund and | ||||||
18 | shall be used by the Department in administering and enforcing | ||||||
19 | the provisions of this Section on behalf of the county, (ii) | ||||||
20 | plus an amount that the Department determines is necessary to | ||||||
21 | offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to a different | ||||||
22 | taxing body; (iii) less an amount equal to the amount of | ||||||
23 | refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by the | ||||||
24 | Department on behalf of the county; and (iv) less any amount | ||||||
25 | that the Department determines is necessary to offset any | ||||||
26 | amounts that were payable to a different taxing body but were |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | erroneously paid to the county ; and (v) less any amounts that | ||||||
2 | are transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund . When certifying | ||||||
3 | the amount of a monthly disbursement to a county under this | ||||||
4 | Section, the Department shall increase or decrease the amounts | ||||||
5 | by an amount necessary to offset any miscalculation of previous | ||||||
6 | disbursements within the previous 6 months from the time a | ||||||
7 | miscalculation is discovered. | ||||||
8 | Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller from the | ||||||
9 | Department of the disbursement certification to the counties | ||||||
10 | provided for in this Section, the Comptroller shall cause the | ||||||
11 | orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance | ||||||
12 | with directions contained in the certification. | ||||||
13 | If the Department determines that a refund should be made | ||||||
14 | under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a credit | ||||||
15 | memorandum, then the Department shall notify the Comptroller, | ||||||
16 | who shall cause the order to be drawn for the amount specified | ||||||
17 | and to the person named in the notification from the | ||||||
18 | Department. The refund shall be paid by the Treasurer out of | ||||||
19 | the Flood Prevention Occupation Tax Fund. | ||||||
20 | (g) If a county imposes a tax under this Section, then the | ||||||
21 | county board shall, by ordinance, discontinue the tax upon the | ||||||
22 | payment of all indebtedness of the flood prevention district. | ||||||
23 | The tax shall not be discontinued until all indebtedness of the | ||||||
24 | District has been paid. | ||||||
25 | (h) Any ordinance imposing the tax under this Section, or | ||||||
26 | any ordinance that discontinues the tax, must be certified by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the county clerk and filed with the Illinois Department of | ||||||
2 | Revenue either (i) on or before the first day of April, | ||||||
3 | whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer and | ||||||
4 | enforce the tax or change in the rate as of the first day of | ||||||
5 | July next following the filing; or (ii) on or before the first | ||||||
6 | day of October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to | ||||||
7 | administer and enforce the tax or change in the rate as of the | ||||||
8 | first day of January next following the filing. | ||||||
9 | (j) County Flood Prevention Occupation Tax Fund. All | ||||||
10 | proceeds received by a county from a tax distribution under | ||||||
11 | this Section must be maintained in a special fund known as the | ||||||
12 | [name of county] flood prevention occupation tax fund. The | ||||||
13 | county shall, at the direction of the flood prevention | ||||||
14 | district, use moneys in the fund to pay the costs of providing | ||||||
15 | emergency levee repair and flood prevention and to pay bonds, | ||||||
16 | notes, and other evidences of indebtedness issued under this | ||||||
17 | Act. | ||||||
18 | (k) This Section may be cited as the Flood Prevention | ||||||
19 | Occupation Tax Law.

| ||||||
21 | Section 85. The Metro-East Park and Recreation District Act | ||||||
22 | is amended by changing Section 30 as follows:
| ||||||
23 | (70 ILCS 1605/30)
| ||||||
24 | Sec. 30. Taxes.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) The board shall impose a
tax upon all persons engaged | ||||||
2 | in the business of selling tangible personal
property, other | ||||||
3 | than personal property titled or registered with an agency of
| ||||||
4 | this State's government,
at retail in the District on the gross | ||||||
5 | receipts from the
sales made in the course of business.
This | ||||||
6 | tax
shall be imposed only at the rate of one-tenth of one per | ||||||
7 | cent.
| ||||||
8 | This additional tax may not be imposed on the sales of food | ||||||
9 | for human
consumption that is to be consumed off the premises | ||||||
10 | where it is sold (other
than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, | ||||||
11 | and food which has been prepared for
immediate consumption) and | ||||||
12 | prescription and non-prescription medicines, drugs,
medical | ||||||
13 | appliances, and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, | ||||||
14 | and needles
used by diabetics.
The tax imposed by the Board | ||||||
15 | under this Section and
all civil penalties that may be assessed | ||||||
16 | as an incident of the tax shall be
collected and enforced by | ||||||
17 | the Department of Revenue. The certificate
of registration that | ||||||
18 | is issued by the Department to a retailer under the
Retailers' | ||||||
19 | Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a | ||||||
20 | business
that is taxable without registering separately with | ||||||
21 | the Department under an
ordinance or resolution under this | ||||||
22 | Section. The Department has full
power to administer and | ||||||
23 | enforce this Section, to collect all taxes and
penalties due | ||||||
24 | under this Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
| ||||||
25 | collected in the manner provided in this Section, and to | ||||||
26 | determine
all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the erroneous payment of
a tax or penalty under this Section. | ||||||
2 | In the administration of and compliance
with this Section, the | ||||||
3 | Department and persons who are subject to this Section
shall | ||||||
4 | (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | ||||||
5 | powers, and
duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
6 | restrictions, limitations,
penalties, and definitions of | ||||||
7 | terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
procedure as are | ||||||
8 | prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f,
1i, 1j,
1k, 1m, | ||||||
9 | 1n,

2-5, 2-5.5, 2-10 (in respect to all provisions contained | ||||||
10 | in those Sections
other than the
State rate of tax), 2-15 | ||||||
11 | through 2-70, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 (except provisions
relating to
| ||||||
12 | transaction returns and quarter monthly payments), 4, 5, 5a, | ||||||
13 | 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,
5f,
5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, | ||||||
14 | 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act | ||||||
15 | and the Uniform Penalty and
Interest Act as if those provisions | ||||||
16 | were set forth in this Section.
| ||||||
17 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
18 | granted in this
Section may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
19 | sellers' tax liability by
separately stating the tax as an | ||||||
20 | additional charge, which charge may be stated
in combination, | ||||||
21 | in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
| ||||||
22 | to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed | ||||||
23 | schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
24 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
25 | made under this
Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
26 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for
the | ||||||
2 | amount specified and to the person named in the notification | ||||||
3 | from the
Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
4 | Treasurer out of the
State Metro-East Park and Recreation | ||||||
5 | District Fund.
| ||||||
6 | (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
| ||||||
7 | service occupation tax shall
also be imposed at the same rate | ||||||
8 | upon all persons engaged, in the District, in
the business
of | ||||||
9 | making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those | ||||||
10 | sales of
service, transfer tangible personal property within | ||||||
11 | the District
as an
incident to a sale of service.
This tax may | ||||||
12 | not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is | ||||||

14 | alcoholic beverages,
soft drinks, and food prepared for | ||||||
15 | immediate consumption) and prescription and
non-prescription | ||||||
16 | medicines, drugs, medical appliances, and insulin, urine
| ||||||
17 | testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics.
The | ||||||
18 | tax imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties that | ||||||
19 | may be
assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and | ||||||
20 | enforced by the
Department of Revenue. The Department has
full | ||||||
21 | power to
administer and enforce this subsection; to collect all | ||||||
22 | taxes and penalties
due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and | ||||||
23 | penalties so collected in the manner
hereinafter provided; and | ||||||
24 | to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account | ||||||
25 | of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
In the | ||||||
26 | administration of, and compliance with this subsection, the
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Department and persons who are subject to this paragraph shall | ||||||
2 | (i) have the
same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | ||||||
3 | powers, and duties, (ii) be
subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
4 | restrictions, limitations, penalties,
exclusions, exemptions, | ||||||
5 | and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same
modes
of | ||||||
6 | procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2 (except that the
| ||||||
7 | reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a | ||||||
8 | place of
business in this State shall mean the District), 2a, | ||||||
9 | 2b, 2c, 3 through
3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein | ||||||
10 | other than the State rate of
tax), 4 (except that the reference | ||||||
11 | to the State shall be to the District),
5, 7, 8 (except that | ||||||
12 | the jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to
the extent | ||||||
13 | indicated in that Section 8 shall be the District), 9 (except | ||||||
14 | as
to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 10, | ||||||
15 | 11, 12 (except the
reference therein to Section 2b of the
| ||||||
16 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference | ||||||
17 | to the State
shall mean the District), Sections 15, 16,
17, 18, | ||||||
18 | 19 and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and
the Uniform | ||||||
19 | Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
| ||||||
20 | set forth herein.
| ||||||
21 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
22 | granted in
this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
23 | serviceman's tax liability
by separately stating the tax as an | ||||||
24 | additional charge, which
charge may be stated in combination, | ||||||
25 | in a single amount, with State tax
that servicemen are | ||||||
26 | authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may | ||||||
2 | prescribe.
| ||||||
3 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
4 | made under this
subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
5 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
6 | Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
for the | ||||||
7 | amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
| ||||||
8 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
9 | Treasurer out
of the
State Metro-East Park and Recreation | ||||||
10 | District Fund.
| ||||||
11 | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
12 | the board
to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any | ||||||
13 | business which under
the Constitution of the United States may | ||||||
14 | not be made the subject of taxation
by the State.
| ||||||
15 | (c) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State | ||||||

1 | The Department shall make this certification only if the Metro | ||||||
2 | East Park and Recreation District imposes a tax on real | ||||||
3 | property as provided in the definition of "local sales taxes" | ||||||
4 | under the STAR Bonds Financing Act. | ||||||
5 | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | ||||||
6 | on On
or before the 25th
day of each calendar month, the | ||||||
7 | Department shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller the | ||||||
8 | disbursement of stated sums of money
pursuant to Section 35 of | ||||||
9 | this Act to the District from which retailers have
paid
taxes | ||||||
10 | or penalties to the Department during the second preceding
| ||||||
11 | calendar month. The amount to be paid to the District shall be | ||||||
12 | the amount (not
including credit memoranda) collected under | ||||||
13 | this Section during the second
preceding
calendar month by the | ||||||
14 | Department plus an amount the Department determines is
| ||||||
15 | necessary to offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to a | ||||||
16 | different
taxing body, and not including (i) an amount equal to | ||||||
17 | the amount of refunds
made
during the second preceding calendar | ||||||
18 | month by the Department on behalf of
the District , and (ii) any | ||||||
19 | amount that the Department determines is
necessary to offset | ||||||
20 | any amounts that were payable to a different taxing body
but | ||||||
21 | were erroneously paid to the District , and (iii) any amounts | ||||||
22 | that are transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund . Within 10 | ||||||
23 | days after receipt by the
Comptroller of the disbursement | ||||||
24 | certification to the District provided for in
this Section to | ||||||
25 | be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller
| ||||||
26 | shall cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in accordance
with directions contained in the certification.
| ||||||
2 | (d) For the purpose of determining
whether a tax authorized | ||||||
3 | under this Section is
applicable, a retail sale by a producer | ||||||
4 | of coal or another mineral mined in
Illinois is a sale at | ||||||
5 | retail at the place where the coal or other mineral mined
in | ||||||
6 | Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not | ||||||
7 | apply to coal
or another mineral when it is delivered or | ||||||
8 | shipped by the seller to the
purchaser
at a point outside | ||||||
9 | Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the United States
| ||||||
10 | Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
11 | (e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
12 | the board to
impose a
tax upon the privilege of engaging in any | ||||||
13 | business that under the Constitution
of the United States may | ||||||
14 | not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
15 | (f) An ordinance imposing a tax under this Section or an | ||||||
16 | ordinance extending
the
imposition of a tax to an additional | ||||||
17 | county or counties
shall be certified
by the
board and filed | ||||||
18 | with the Department of Revenue
either (i) on or
before the | ||||||
19 | first day of April, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
| ||||||
20 | administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of July next | ||||||
21 | following
the filing; or (ii)
on or before the first day of | ||||||
22 | October, whereupon the
Department shall proceed to administer | ||||||
23 | and enforce the tax as of the first
day of January next | ||||||
24 | following the filing.
| ||||||
25 | (g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to | ||||||
26 | the District
under
this
Section, the Department shall increase |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or decrease the amounts by an amount
necessary to offset any | ||||||
2 | misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset
amount | ||||||
3 | shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous 6 | ||||||
4 | months
from the time a misallocation is discovered.

6 | Section 90. The Local Mass Transit District Act is amended | ||||||
7 | by changing Section 5.01 as follows:
| ||||||
8 | (70 ILCS 3610/5.01)
(from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 355.01)
| ||||||
9 | Sec. 5.01. Metro East Mass Transit District; use and | ||||||
10 | occupation taxes.
| ||||||
11 | (a) The Board of Trustees of any Metro East Mass Transit
| ||||||
12 | District may, by ordinance adopted with the concurrence of | ||||||
13 | two-thirds of
the then trustees, impose throughout the District | ||||||
14 | any or all of the taxes and
fees provided in this Section. All | ||||||
15 | taxes and fees imposed under this Section
shall be used only | ||||||
16 | for public mass transportation systems, and the amount used
to | ||||||
17 | provide mass transit service to unserved areas of the District | ||||||
18 | shall be in
the same proportion to the total proceeds as the | ||||||
19 | number of persons residing in
the unserved areas is to the | ||||||
20 | total population of the District. Except as
otherwise provided | ||||||
21 | in this Act, taxes imposed under
this Section and civil | ||||||
22 | penalties imposed incident thereto shall be
collected and | ||||||
23 | enforced by the State Department of Revenue.
The Department | ||||||
24 | shall have the power to administer and enforce the taxes
and to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | determine all rights for refunds for erroneous payments of the | ||||||
2 | taxes.
| ||||||
3 | (b) The Board may impose a Metro East Mass Transit District | ||||||
4 | Retailers'
Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in the | ||||||
5 | business of selling tangible
personal property at retail in the | ||||||
6 | district at a rate of 1/4 of 1%, or as
authorized under | ||||||
7 | subsection (d-5) of this Section, of the
gross receipts from | ||||||
8 | the sales made in the course of such business within
the | ||||||
9 | district. The tax imposed under this Section and all civil
| ||||||
10 | penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be | ||||||
11 | collected
and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The | ||||||
12 | Department shall have
full power to administer and enforce this | ||||||
13 | Section; to collect all taxes
and penalties so collected in the | ||||||
14 | manner hereinafter provided; and to determine
all rights to | ||||||
15 | credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment
of | ||||||
16 | tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of, and | ||||||
17 | compliance with,
this Section, the Department and persons who | ||||||
18 | are subject to this Section
shall have the same rights, | ||||||
19 | remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and
duties, and be | ||||||
20 | subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
| ||||||
21 | penalties, exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms and | ||||||
22 | employ
the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in | ||||||
23 | Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1,
1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65 | ||||||
24 | (in respect to all provisions
therein other than the State rate | ||||||
25 | of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the
disposition of taxes and | ||||||
26 | penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f,
5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of
the | ||||||
2 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform | ||||||
3 | Penalty
and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were | ||||||
4 | set forth herein.
| ||||||
5 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the Section may | ||||||
6 | reimburse
themselves for their seller's tax liability | ||||||
7 | hereunder by separately stating
the tax as an additional | ||||||
8 | charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single | ||||||
9 | amount, with State taxes that sellers are required to collect
| ||||||
10 | under the Use Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket | ||||||
11 | schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
12 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
13 | made under this
Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
14 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
15 | Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
for the | ||||||
16 | amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
| ||||||
17 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
18 | Treasurer out
of the Metro East Mass Transit District tax fund | ||||||
19 | established under
paragraph (h)
(g) of this Section.
| ||||||
20 | If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall | ||||||
21 | also be
imposed under subsections (c) and (d) of this Section.
| ||||||
22 | For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized | ||||||
23 | under this Section
is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer | ||||||
24 | of coal or other mineral mined
in Illinois, is a sale at retail | ||||||
25 | at the place where the coal or other mineral
mined in Illinois | ||||||
26 | is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not
apply to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the | ||||||
2 | seller
to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the | ||||||
3 | sale is exempt
under the Federal Constitution as a sale in | ||||||
4 | interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
5 | No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection | ||||||
6 | on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of | ||||||
7 | another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this | ||||||
8 | State.
| ||||||
9 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize the | ||||||
10 | Metro East
Mass Transit District to impose a tax upon the | ||||||
11 | privilege of engaging in any
business which under the | ||||||
12 | Constitution of the United States may not be made
the subject | ||||||
13 | of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
14 | (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a Metro | ||||||
15 | East Mass
Transit District Service Occupation Tax shall
also be | ||||||
16 | imposed upon all persons engaged, in the district, in the | ||||||
17 | business
of making sales of service, who, as an incident to | ||||||
18 | making those sales of
service, transfer tangible personal | ||||||
19 | property within the District, either in
the form of tangible | ||||||
20 | personal property or in the form of real estate as an
incident | ||||||
21 | to a sale of service. The tax rate shall be 1/4%, or as | ||||||
22 | authorized
under subsection (d-5) of this Section, of the | ||||||
23 | selling
price of tangible personal property so transferred | ||||||
24 | within the district.
The tax imposed under this paragraph and | ||||||
25 | all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof | ||||||
26 | shall be collected and enforced by the
State Department of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Revenue. The Department shall have full power to
administer and | ||||||
2 | enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes and penalties
due | ||||||
3 | hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in | ||||||
4 | the manner
hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights to | ||||||
5 | credit memoranda
arising on account of the erroneous payment of | ||||||
6 | tax or penalty hereunder.
In the administration of, and | ||||||
7 | compliance with this paragraph, the
Department and persons who | ||||||
8 | are subject to this paragraph shall have the
same rights, | ||||||
9 | remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
| ||||||
10 | subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, | ||||||
11 | penalties,
exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms and | ||||||
12 | employ the same modes
of procedure as are prescribed in | ||||||
13 | Sections 1a-1, 2 (except that the
reference to State in the | ||||||
14 | definition of supplier maintaining a place of
business in this | ||||||
15 | State shall mean the Authority), 2a, 3 through
3-50 (in respect | ||||||
16 | to all provisions therein other than the State rate of
tax), 4 | ||||||
17 | (except that the reference to the State shall be to the | ||||||
18 | Authority),
5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which the | ||||||
19 | tax shall be a debt to
the extent indicated in that Section 8 | ||||||
20 | shall be the District), 9 (except as
to the disposition of | ||||||
21 | taxes and penalties collected, and except that
the returned | ||||||
22 | merchandise credit for this tax may not be taken against any
| ||||||
23 | State tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section | ||||||
24 | 2b of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any | ||||||
25 | reference to the State
shall mean the District), the first | ||||||
26 | paragraph of Section 15, 16,
17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of
the Uniform Penalty and | ||||||
2 | Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
set forth | ||||||
3 | herein.
| ||||||
4 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
5 | granted in
this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
6 | serviceman's tax liability
hereunder by separately stating the | ||||||
7 | tax as an additional charge, which
charge may be stated in | ||||||
8 | combination, in a single amount, with State tax
that servicemen | ||||||
9 | are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
| ||||||
10 | accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may | ||||||
11 | prescribe.
| ||||||
12 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
13 | made under this
paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
14 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
15 | Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
for the | ||||||
16 | amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
| ||||||
17 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
18 | Treasurer out
of the Metro East Mass Transit District tax fund | ||||||
19 | established under
paragraph (h)
(g) of this Section.
| ||||||
20 | Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
21 | the District
to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
22 | any business which under
the Constitution of the United States | ||||||
23 | may not be made the subject of taxation
by the State.
| ||||||
24 | (d) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a Metro | ||||||
25 | East Mass
Transit District Use Tax shall
also be imposed upon | ||||||
26 | the privilege of using, in the district, any item of
tangible |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | personal property that is purchased outside the district at
| ||||||
2 | retail from a retailer, and that is titled or registered with | ||||||
3 | an agency of
this State's government, at a rate of 1/4%, or as | ||||||
4 | authorized under subsection
(d-5) of this Section, of the | ||||||
5 | selling price of the
tangible personal property within the | ||||||
6 | District, as "selling price" is
defined in the Use Tax Act. The | ||||||
7 | tax shall be collected from persons whose
Illinois address for | ||||||
8 | titling or registration purposes is given as being in
the | ||||||
9 | District. The tax shall be collected by the Department of | ||||||
10 | Revenue for
the Metro East Mass Transit District. The tax must | ||||||
11 | be paid to the State,
or an exemption determination must be | ||||||
12 | obtained from the Department of
Revenue, before the title or | ||||||
13 | certificate of registration for the property
may be issued. The | ||||||
14 | tax or proof of exemption may be transmitted to the
Department | ||||||
15 | by way of the State agency with which, or the State officer | ||||||
16 | with
whom, the tangible personal property must be titled or | ||||||
17 | registered if the
Department and the State agency or State | ||||||
18 | officer determine that this
procedure will expedite the | ||||||
19 | processing of applications for title or
registration.
| ||||||
20 | The Department shall have full power to administer and | ||||||
21 | enforce this
paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties and | ||||||
22 | interest due hereunder; to
dispose of taxes, penalties and | ||||||
23 | interest so collected in the manner
hereinafter provided; and | ||||||
24 | to determine all rights to credit memoranda or
refunds arising | ||||||
25 | on account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty or
interest | ||||||
26 | hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | paragraph, the Department and persons who are subject to this | ||||||
2 | paragraph
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | ||||||
3 | immunities, powers and
duties, and be subject to the same | ||||||
4 | conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties, exclusions, | ||||||
5 | exemptions and definitions of terms
and employ the same modes | ||||||
6 | of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 2
(except the | ||||||
7 | definition of "retailer maintaining a place of business in this
| ||||||
8 | State"), 3 through 3-80 (except provisions pertaining to the | ||||||
9 | State rate
of tax, and except provisions concerning collection | ||||||
10 | or refunding of the tax
by retailers), 4, 11, 12, 12a, 14, 15, | ||||||
11 | 19 (except the portions pertaining
to claims by retailers and | ||||||
12 | except the last paragraph concerning refunds),
20, 21 and 22 of | ||||||
13 | the Use Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty
and | ||||||
14 | Interest Act, that are not inconsistent with this
paragraph, as | ||||||
15 | fully as if those provisions were set forth herein.
| ||||||
16 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
17 | made under this
paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
18 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
19 | Comptroller, who shall cause the order
to be drawn for the | ||||||
20 | amount specified, and to the person named, in the
notification | ||||||
21 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
| ||||||
22 | Treasurer out of the Metro East Mass Transit District tax fund | ||||||
23 | established
under paragraph (h)
(g) of this Section.
| ||||||
24 | (d-5) (A) The county board of any county participating in | ||||||
25 | the Metro
East Mass Transit District may authorize, by | ||||||
26 | ordinance, a

19 | 0.75%?
| |||||||||
20 | Name Address, with Street and Number.
| |||||||||
| ||||||||||
23 | (C) The votes shall be recorded as "YES" or "NO". If a | |||||||||
24 | majority of all
votes
cast on the proposition are for the | |||||||||
25 | increase in
the tax rates, the Metro East Mass Transit District | |||||||||
26 | shall begin imposing the
increased rates in the District, and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the Department of Revenue shall begin collecting the increased | ||||||
2 | amounts, as
provided under this Section.
An ordinance imposing | ||||||
3 | or discontinuing a tax hereunder or effecting a change
in the | ||||||
4 | rate thereof shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof | ||||||
5 | filed with
the Department on or before the first day of | ||||||
6 | October, whereupon the Department

11 | next following the adoption and filing.
| ||||||
12 | (D) If the voters have approved a referendum under this | ||||||
13 | subsection,
before
November 1, 1994, to
increase the tax rate | ||||||
14 | under this subsection, the Metro East Mass Transit
District | ||||||
15 | Board of Trustees may adopt by a majority vote an ordinance at | ||||||
16 | any
time
before January 1, 1995 that excludes from the rate | ||||||
17 | increase tangible personal
property that is titled or | ||||||
18 | registered with an
agency of this State's government.
The | ||||||
19 | ordinance excluding titled or
registered tangible personal | ||||||
20 | property from the rate increase must be filed with
the | ||||||
21 | Department at least 15 days before its effective date.
At any | ||||||
22 | time after adopting an ordinance excluding from the rate | ||||||
23 | increase
tangible personal property that is titled or | ||||||
24 | registered with an agency of this
State's government, the Metro | ||||||
25 | East Mass Transit District Board of Trustees may
adopt an | ||||||
26 | ordinance applying the rate increase to that tangible personal
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property. The ordinance shall be adopted, and a certified copy | ||||||
2 | of that
ordinance shall be filed with the Department, on or | ||||||
3 | before October 1, whereupon
the Department shall proceed to | ||||||
4 | administer and enforce the rate increase
against tangible | ||||||
5 | personal property titled or registered with an agency of this
| ||||||
6 | State's government as of the following January
1. After | ||||||
7 | December 31, 1995, any reimposed rate increase in effect under | ||||||
8 | this
subsection shall no longer apply to tangible personal | ||||||
9 | property titled or
registered with an agency of this State's | ||||||
10 | government. Beginning January 1,
1996, the Board of Trustees of | ||||||
11 | any Metro East Mass Transit
District may never reimpose a | ||||||
12 | previously excluded tax rate increase on tangible
personal | ||||||
13 | property titled or registered with an agency of this State's
| ||||||
14 | government.
After July 1, 2004, if the voters have approved a | ||||||
15 | referendum under this
subsection to increase the tax rate under | ||||||
16 | this subsection, the Metro East Mass
Transit District Board of | ||||||
17 | Trustees may adopt by a majority vote an ordinance
that | ||||||
18 | excludes from the rate increase tangible personal property that | ||||||
19 | is titled
or registered with an agency of this State's | ||||||
20 | government. The ordinance excluding titled or registered | ||||||
21 | tangible personal property from the rate increase shall be
| ||||||
22 | adopted, and a certified copy of that ordinance shall be filed | ||||||
23 | with the
Department on or before October 1, whereupon the | ||||||
24 | Department shall administer and enforce this exclusion from the | ||||||
25 | rate increase as of the
following January 1, or on or before | ||||||
26 | April 1, whereupon the Department shall
administer and enforce |
| |||||||
| |||||||

| ||||||
6 | (d-6) If the Board of Trustees of any Metro East Mass | ||||||
7 | Transit District has
imposed a rate increase under subsection | ||||||
8 | (d-5) and filed an
ordinance with the Department of Revenue | ||||||
9 | excluding titled property from the
higher rate, then that Board | ||||||
10 | may, by ordinance adopted with
the concurrence of two-thirds of | ||||||

5 | subsection (d-6) and all civil
penalties that may be assessed | ||||||
6 | as an incident of the fees shall be collected
and enforced by | ||||||
7 | the State Department of Revenue. Reference to "taxes" in this
| ||||||
8 | Section shall be construed to apply to the administration, | ||||||
9 | payment, and
remittance of all fees under this Section. For | ||||||
10 | purposes of any fee imposed
under subsection (d-6), 4% of the | ||||||
11 | fee, penalty, and interest received by the

7 | tax imposed under paragraph (c)
of this Section.

| ||||||
10 | Section 100. The Regional Transportation Authority Act is | ||||||
11 | amended by changing Section 4.03 as follows:
| ||||||
12 | (70 ILCS 3615/4.03) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 704.03)
| ||||||
13 | Sec. 4.03. Taxes.
| ||||||
14 | (a) In order to carry out any of the powers or
purposes of | ||||||
15 | the Authority, the Board may by ordinance adopted with the
| ||||||
16 | concurrence of 12
of the then Directors, impose throughout the
| ||||||
17 | metropolitan region any or all of the taxes provided in this | ||||||
18 | Section.
Except as otherwise provided in this Act, taxes | ||||||
19 | imposed under this
Section and civil penalties imposed incident | ||||||
20 | thereto shall be collected
and enforced by the State Department | ||||||
21 | of Revenue. The Department shall
have the power to administer | ||||||
22 | and enforce the taxes and to determine all
rights for refunds | ||||||
23 | for erroneous payments of the taxes. Nothing in this amendatory | ||||||
24 | Act of the 95th General Assembly is intended to invalidate any |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | taxes currently imposed by the Authority. The increased vote | ||||||
2 | requirements to impose a tax shall only apply to actions taken | ||||||
3 | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th | ||||||
4 | General Assembly.
| ||||||
5 | (b) The Board may impose a public transportation tax upon | ||||||
6 | all
persons engaged in the metropolitan region in the business | ||||||
7 | of selling at
retail motor fuel for operation of motor vehicles | ||||||
8 | upon public highways. The
tax shall be at a rate not to exceed | ||||||
9 | 5% of the gross receipts from the sales
of motor fuel in the | ||||||
10 | course of the business. As used in this Act, the term
"motor | ||||||
11 | fuel" shall have the same meaning as in the Motor Fuel Tax Law. | ||||||
12 | The Board may provide for details of the tax. The provisions of
| ||||||
13 | any tax shall conform, as closely as may be practicable, to the | ||||||
14 | provisions
of the Municipal Retailers Occupation Tax Act, | ||||||
15 | including without limitation,
conformity to penalties with | ||||||
16 | respect to the tax imposed and as to the powers of
the State | ||||||
17 | Department of Revenue to promulgate and enforce rules and | ||||||
18 | regulations
relating to the administration and enforcement of | ||||||
19 | the provisions of the tax
imposed, except that reference in the | ||||||
20 | Act to any municipality shall refer to
the Authority and the | ||||||
21 | tax shall be imposed only with regard to receipts from
sales of | ||||||
22 | motor fuel in the metropolitan region, at rates as limited by | ||||||
23 | this
Section.
| ||||||
24 | (c) In connection with the tax imposed under paragraph (b) | ||||||
25 | of
this Section the Board may impose a tax upon the privilege | ||||||
26 | of using in
the metropolitan region motor fuel for the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | operation of a motor vehicle
upon public highways, the tax to | ||||||
2 | be at a rate not in excess of the rate
of tax imposed under | ||||||
3 | paragraph (b) of this Section. The Board may
provide for | ||||||
4 | details of the tax.
| ||||||
5 | (d) The Board may impose a motor vehicle parking tax upon | ||||||
6 | the
privilege of parking motor vehicles at off-street parking | ||||||
7 | facilities in
the metropolitan region at which a fee is | ||||||
8 | charged, and may provide for
reasonable classifications in and | ||||||
9 | exemptions to the tax, for
administration and enforcement | ||||||
10 | thereof and for civil penalties and
refunds thereunder and may | ||||||
11 | provide criminal penalties thereunder, the
maximum penalties | ||||||
12 | not to exceed the maximum criminal penalties provided
in the | ||||||
13 | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. The
Authority may collect and | ||||||
14 | enforce the tax itself or by contract with
any unit of local | ||||||
15 | government. The State Department of Revenue shall have
no | ||||||
16 | responsibility for the collection and enforcement unless the
| ||||||
17 | Department agrees with the Authority to undertake the | ||||||
18 | collection and
enforcement. As used in this paragraph, the term | ||||||
19 | "parking facility"
means a parking area or structure having | ||||||
20 | parking spaces for more than 2
vehicles at which motor vehicles | ||||||
21 | are permitted to park in return for an
hourly, daily, or other | ||||||
22 | periodic fee, whether publicly or privately
owned, but does not | ||||||
23 | include parking spaces on a public street, the use
of which is | ||||||
24 | regulated by parking meters.
| ||||||
25 | (e) The Board may impose a Regional Transportation | ||||||
26 | Authority
Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the business of
selling tangible personal property at retail in | ||||||
2 | the metropolitan region.
In Cook County the tax rate shall be | ||||||
3 | 1.25%
of the gross receipts from sales
of food for human | ||||||
4 | consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
where it is | ||||||
5 | sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
that | ||||||
6 | has been prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription | ||||||
7 | and
nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and | ||||||
8 | insulin, urine
testing materials, syringes and needles used by | ||||||
9 | diabetics, and 1%
of the
gross receipts from other taxable | ||||||
10 | sales made in the course of that business.
In DuPage, Kane, | ||||||
11 | Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties, the tax rate shall be 0.75%
| ||||||
12 | of the gross receipts from all taxable sales made in the course | ||||||
13 | of that
business. The tax
imposed under this Section and all | ||||||
14 | civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof | ||||||
15 | shall be collected and enforced by the
State Department of | ||||||
16 | Revenue. The Department shall have full power to
administer and | ||||||
17 | enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties
so | ||||||
18 | collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine | ||||||
19 | all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the | ||||||
20 | erroneous payment
of tax or penalty hereunder. In the | ||||||
21 | administration of, and compliance
with this Section, the | ||||||
22 | Department and persons who are subject to this
Section shall | ||||||
23 | have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers | ||||||
24 | and duties, and be subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
25 | restrictions,
limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions | ||||||
26 | and definitions of terms,
and employ the same modes of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1,
1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, | ||||||
2 | 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all
provisions | ||||||
3 | therein other than the State rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to
| ||||||
4 | the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, | ||||||
5 | 5b, 5c, 5d,
5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, | ||||||
6 | 9, 10, 11, 12 and
13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and | ||||||
7 | Section 3-7 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully | ||||||
8 | as if those
provisions were set forth herein.
| ||||||
9 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
10 | granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
11 | seller's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating the tax | ||||||
12 | as an additional
charge, which charge may be stated in | ||||||
13 | combination in a single amount
with State taxes that sellers | ||||||
14 | are required to collect under the Use
Tax Act, under any | ||||||
15 | bracket schedules the
Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
16 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
17 | made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
18 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | ||||||
19 | Comptroller, who shall cause the
warrant to be drawn for the | ||||||
20 | amount specified, and to the person named,
in the notification | ||||||
21 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by
the State | ||||||
22 | Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax
fund | ||||||
23 | established under paragraph (n) of this Section.
| ||||||
24 | If a tax is imposed under this subsection (e), a tax shall | ||||||
25 | also
be imposed under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section.
| ||||||
26 | For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | under this
Section is applicable, a retail sale by a producer | ||||||
2 | of coal or other
mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail | ||||||
3 | at the place where the
coal or other mineral mined in Illinois | ||||||
4 | is extracted from the earth.
This paragraph does not apply to | ||||||
5 | coal or other mineral when it is
delivered or shipped by the | ||||||
6 | seller to the purchaser at a point outside
Illinois so that the | ||||||
7 | sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a
sale in | ||||||
8 | interstate or foreign commerce.
| ||||||
9 | No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection | ||||||
10 | on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of | ||||||
11 | another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this | ||||||
12 | State.
| ||||||
13 | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize the | ||||||
14 | Regional
Transportation Authority to impose a tax upon the | ||||||
15 | privilege of engaging
in any business that under the | ||||||
16 | Constitution of the United States may
not be made the subject | ||||||
17 | of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
18 | (f) If a tax has been imposed under paragraph (e), a
| ||||||
19 | Regional Transportation Authority Service Occupation
Tax shall
| ||||||
20 | also be imposed upon all persons engaged, in the metropolitan | ||||||
21 | region in
the business of making sales of service, who as an | ||||||
22 | incident to making the sales
of service, transfer tangible | ||||||
23 | personal property within the metropolitan region,
either in the | ||||||
24 | form of tangible personal property or in the form of real | ||||||
25 | estate
as an incident to a sale of service. In Cook County, the | ||||||
26 | tax rate
shall be: (1) 1.25%
of the serviceman's cost price of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | food prepared for
immediate consumption and transferred | ||||||
2 | incident to a sale of service subject
to the service occupation | ||||||
3 | tax by an entity licensed under the Hospital
Licensing Act or | ||||||
4 | the Nursing Home Care Act that is located in the metropolitan
| ||||||
5 | region; (2) 1.25%
of the selling price of food for human | ||||||
6 | consumption that is to
be consumed off the premises where it is | ||||||
7 | sold (other than alcoholic
beverages, soft drinks and food that | ||||||
8 | has been prepared for immediate
consumption) and prescription | ||||||
9 | and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical
appliances and | ||||||
10 | insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used
by | ||||||
11 | diabetics; and (3) 1%
of the selling price from other taxable | ||||||
12 | sales of
tangible personal property transferred. In DuPage, | ||||||
13 | Kane, Lake,
McHenry and Will Counties the rate shall be 0.75%
| ||||||
14 | of the selling price
of all tangible personal property | ||||||
15 | transferred.
| ||||||
16 | The tax imposed under this paragraph and all civil
| ||||||
17 | penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be | ||||||
18 | collected
and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The | ||||||
19 | Department shall
have full power to administer and enforce this | ||||||
20 | paragraph; to collect all
taxes and penalties due hereunder; to | ||||||
21 | dispose of taxes and penalties
collected in the manner | ||||||
22 | hereinafter provided; and to determine all
rights to credit | ||||||
23 | memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment
of tax or | ||||||
24 | penalty hereunder. In the administration of and compliance
with | ||||||
25 | this paragraph, the Department and persons who are subject to | ||||||
26 | this
paragraph shall have the same rights, remedies, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | privileges, immunities,
powers and duties, and be subject to | ||||||
2 | the same conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties, | ||||||
3 | exclusions, exemptions and definitions of terms,
and employ the | ||||||
4 | same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2,
| ||||||
5 | 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein other | ||||||
6 | than the
State rate of tax), 4 (except that the reference to | ||||||
7 | the State shall be to
the Authority), 5, 7, 8 (except that the | ||||||
8 | jurisdiction to which the tax
shall be a debt to the extent | ||||||
9 | indicated in that Section 8 shall be the
Authority), 9 (except | ||||||
10 | as to the disposition of taxes and penalties
collected, and | ||||||
11 | except that the returned merchandise credit for this tax may
| ||||||
12 | not be taken against any State tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the | ||||||
13 | reference
therein to Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation | ||||||
14 | Tax Act), 13 (except
that any reference to the State shall mean | ||||||
15 | the Authority), the first
paragraph of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, | ||||||
16 | 19 and 20 of the Service
Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of | ||||||
17 | the Uniform Penalty and Interest
Act, as fully as if those | ||||||
18 | provisions were set forth herein.
| ||||||
19 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
20 | granted
in this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
21 | serviceman's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating the | ||||||
22 | tax as an additional
charge, that charge may be stated in | ||||||
23 | combination in a single amount
with State tax that servicemen | ||||||
24 | are authorized to collect under the
Service Use Tax Act, under | ||||||
25 | any bracket schedules the
Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
26 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | made under
this paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
2 | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | ||||||
3 | Comptroller, who shall cause the
warrant to be drawn for the | ||||||
4 | amount specified, and to the person named
in the notification | ||||||
5 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by
the State | ||||||
6 | Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax
fund | ||||||
7 | established under paragraph (n) of this Section.
| ||||||
8 | Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize | ||||||
9 | the
Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | ||||||
10 | any business
that under the Constitution of the United States | ||||||
11 | may not be made the
subject of taxation by the State.
| ||||||
12 | (g) If a tax has been imposed under paragraph (e), a tax | ||||||
13 | shall
also be imposed upon the privilege of using in the | ||||||
14 | metropolitan region,
any item of tangible personal property | ||||||
15 | that is purchased outside the
metropolitan region at retail | ||||||
16 | from a retailer, and that is titled or
registered with an | ||||||
17 | agency of this State's government. In Cook County the
tax rate | ||||||
18 | shall be 1%
of the selling price of the tangible personal | ||||||
19 | property,
as "selling price" is defined in the Use Tax Act. In | ||||||
20 | DuPage, Kane, Lake,
McHenry and Will counties the tax rate | ||||||
21 | shall be 0.75%
of the selling price of
the tangible personal | ||||||
22 | property, as "selling price" is defined in the
Use Tax Act. The | ||||||
23 | tax shall be collected from persons whose Illinois
address for | ||||||
24 | titling or registration purposes is given as being in the
| ||||||
25 | metropolitan region. The tax shall be collected by the | ||||||
26 | Department of
Revenue for the Regional Transportation |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Authority. The tax must be paid
to the State, or an exemption | ||||||
2 | determination must be obtained from the
Department of Revenue, | ||||||
3 | before the title or certificate of registration for
the | ||||||
4 | property may be issued. The tax or proof of exemption may be
| ||||||
5 | transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with | ||||||
6 | which, or the
State officer with whom, the tangible personal | ||||||
7 | property must be titled or
registered if the Department and the | ||||||
8 | State agency or State officer
determine that this procedure | ||||||
9 | will expedite the processing of applications
for title or | ||||||
10 | registration.
| ||||||
11 | The Department shall have full power to administer and | ||||||
12 | enforce this
paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties and | ||||||
13 | interest due hereunder;
to dispose of taxes, penalties and | ||||||
14 | interest collected in the manner
hereinafter provided; and to | ||||||
15 | determine all rights to credit memoranda or
refunds arising on | ||||||
16 | account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty or
interest | ||||||
17 | hereunder. In the administration of and compliance with this
| ||||||
18 | paragraph, the Department and persons who are subject to this | ||||||
19 | paragraph
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | ||||||
20 | immunities, powers and
duties, and be subject to the same | ||||||
21 | conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties, exclusions, | ||||||
22 | exemptions and definitions of terms
and employ the same modes | ||||||
23 | of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 2
(except the | ||||||
24 | definition of "retailer maintaining a place of business in this

10 | administration of,
and compliance with, this paragraph, the | ||||||
11 | Department and persons who are
subject to this paragraph shall | ||||||
12 | have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers | ||||||
13 | and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
| ||||||
14 | restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions | ||||||

prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, | ||||||
17 | 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65

3 | Penalty
and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were | ||||||
4 | set forth herein.
| ||||||
5 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
6 | granted in this
paragraph may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
7 | seller's tax liability
hereunder by separately stating the tax | ||||||
8 | as an additional charge, which
charge may be stated in | ||||||
9 | combination, in a single amount, with State taxes
that sellers | ||||||
10 | are required to collect under the Use Tax Act and under
| ||||||
11 | subsection (e) of Section 4.03 of the Regional Transportation | ||||||
12 | Authority
Act, in accordance with such bracket schedules as the | ||||||
13 | Department may prescribe.
| ||||||
14 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
15 | made under this
paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
16 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
17 | Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
for the | ||||||
18 | amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
| ||||||
19 | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
20 | Treasurer out
of a county water commission tax fund established | ||||||
21 | under paragraph (g) of
this Section.
| ||||||
22 | For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized | ||||||
23 | under this paragraph

24 | of coal or other mineral mined
in Illinois is a sale at retail | ||||||
25 | at the place where the coal or other mineral
mined in Illinois | ||||||
26 | is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not
apply to |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the | ||||||
2 | seller
to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the | ||||||
3 | sale is exempt
under the Federal Constitution as a sale in | ||||||
4 | interstate or foreign commerce.

6 | also be
imposed under subsections (c) and (d) of this Section.

9 | another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this | ||||||
10 | State.
| ||||||
11 | Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize a | ||||||
12 | county water
commission to impose a tax upon the privilege of | ||||||
13 | engaging in any
business which under the Constitution of the | ||||||
14 | United States may not be made
the subject of taxation by this | ||||||
15 | State.
| ||||||
16 | (c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
| ||||||
17 | County Water Commission Service Occupation
Tax shall
also be | ||||||
18 | imposed upon all persons engaged, in the territory of the
| ||||||
19 | commission, in the business of making sales of service, who, as | ||||||
20 | an
incident to making the sales of service, transfer tangible | ||||||
21 | personal
property within the territory. The tax rate shall be | ||||||
22 | 1/4% of the selling
price of tangible personal property so | ||||||
23 | transferred within the territory.
The tax imposed under this | ||||||
24 | paragraph and all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an | ||||||
25 | incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
State | ||||||
26 | Department of Revenue. The Department shall have full power to
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | administer and enforce this paragraph; to collect all taxes and | ||||||
2 | penalties
due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so | ||||||
3 | collected in the manner
hereinafter provided; and to determine | ||||||

7 | Department and persons who are subject to this paragraph shall | ||||||
8 | have the
same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers | ||||||
9 | and duties, and be
subject to the same conditions, | ||||||
10 | restrictions, limitations, penalties,
exclusions, exemptions | ||||||
11 | and definitions of terms, and employ the same modes
of | ||||||
12 | procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2 (except that | ||||||
13 | the
reference to State in the definition of supplier | ||||||
14 | maintaining a place of
business in this State shall mean the | ||||||
15 | territory of the commission), 2a, 3
through 3-50 (in respect to | ||||||
16 | all provisions therein other than the State
rate of tax except | ||||||
17 | that food for human consumption that is to be consumed

4 | State
tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section | ||||||
5 | 2b of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any | ||||||
6 | reference to the State
shall mean the territory of the | ||||||

| ||||||
10 | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | ||||||
11 | granted in
this paragraph may reimburse themselves for their | ||||||
12 | serviceman's tax liability
hereunder by separately stating the | ||||||
13 | tax as an additional charge, which
charge may be stated in | ||||||
14 | combination, in a single amount, with State tax
that servicemen | ||||||
15 | are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act,
and | ||||||
16 | any tax for which servicemen may be liable under subsection (f) | ||||||
17 | of
Sec. 4.03 of the Regional Transportation Authority Act, in | ||||||
18 | accordance
with such bracket schedules as the Department may | ||||||
19 | prescribe.
| ||||||
20 | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | ||||||
21 | made under this
paragraph to a claimant instead of issuing a | ||||||
22 | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | ||||||
23 | Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
for the | ||||||
24 | amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification | ||||||
25 | from
the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | ||||||
26 | Treasurer out of a
county water commission tax fund established |

Section.

2 | Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize a | ||||||
3 | county water
commission to impose a tax upon the privilege of | ||||||

which under the Constitution of the | ||||||
5 | United States may not be made the
subject of taxation by the | ||||||
6 | State.
| ||||||
7 | (d) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a tax | ||||||
8 | shall
also imposed upon the privilege of using, in the | ||||||
9 | territory of the
commission, any item of tangible personal | ||||||
10 | property that is purchased
outside the territory at retail from | ||||||
11 | a retailer, and that is titled or
registered with an agency of | ||||||
12 | this State's government, at a rate of 1/4% of
the selling price | ||||||
13 | of the tangible personal property within the territory,
as | ||||||
14 | "selling price" is defined in the Use Tax Act. The tax shall be | ||||||
15 | collected
from persons whose Illinois address for titling or | ||||||
16 | registration purposes
is given as being in the territory. The | ||||||
17 | tax shall be collected by the
Department of Revenue for a | ||||||
18 | county water commission. The tax must be paid
to the State, or | ||||||
19 | an exemption determination must be obtained from the
Department | ||||||
20 | of Revenue, before the title or certificate of registration for
| ||||||
21 | the property may be issued. The tax or proof of exemption may | ||||||
22 | be
transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency | ||||||
23 | with which, or the
State officer with whom, the tangible | ||||||
24 | personal property must be titled or
registered if the | ||||||
25 | Department and the State agency or State officer
determine that | ||||||
26 | this procedure will expedite the processing of applications
for |
