5 | and
notify the Illinois Department of Revenue of the pro rata | ||||||
6 | share owed by each
electric utility based upon information | ||||||

| ||||||

10 | share they owe.
These contributions shall be remitted to the | ||||||
11 | Department of Revenue no earlier than
July 1 and no later than | ||||||
12 | July 31 of each year the contribution is due on a
return | ||||||
13 | prescribed and
furnished by the Department of Revenue showing | ||||||
14 | such information as the
Department of Revenue may reasonably | ||||||
15 | require. The Department of Revenue shall
place the funds | ||||||
16 | remitted under this Section in the Public Utility Fund in the
| ||||||
17 | State treasury. The funds received pursuant to this Section | ||||||
18 | shall be subject to

19 | an electric utility does
not remit its pro rata share to the | ||||||
20 | Department of Revenue, the Department of
Revenue must inform | ||||||
21 | the Illinois Commerce Commission of such failure. The
Illinois | ||||||
22 | Commerce Commission may then revoke the certification of that | ||||||
23 | electric
utility. This Section is repealed on April 1, 2015 | ||||||
24 | January 1, 2014 .
