| ||||||
8 | (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2014)
| ||||||
9 | Sec. 2-203. Public Utility Fund base maintenance | ||||||
10 | contribution. Each electric
utility as defined in Section | ||||||
11 | 16-102 of this Act providing service to more than
12,500 | ||||||
12 | customers in this State on January 1, 1995 shall contribute | ||||||
13 | annually a
pro rata share of a total amount of $5,500,000 based | ||||||
14 | upon the number of
kilowatt-hours delivered to retail customers | ||||||
15 | within this State by each such
electric utility in the 12 | ||||||
16 | months preceding the year of contribution. On or
before May 1 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of each year, the Illinois Commerce Commission shall determine | ||||||
2 | and
notify the Illinois Department of Revenue of the pro rata | ||||||
3 | share owed by each
electric utility based upon information | ||||||
4 | supplied annually to the Commission. On
or before June 1 of | ||||||
5 | each year, the Department of Revenue shall send written
| ||||||
6 | notification to each electric utility of the amount of pro rata | ||||||
7 | share they owe.
These contributions shall be remitted to the | ||||||
8 | Department of Revenue no earlier than
July 1 and no later than | ||||||
9 | July 31 of each year the contribution is due on a
return | ||||||
10 | prescribed and
furnished by the Department of Revenue showing | ||||||
11 | such information as the
Department of Revenue may reasonably | ||||||
12 | require. The Department of Revenue shall
place the funds | ||||||
13 | remitted under this Section in the Public Utility Fund in the
| ||||||
14 | State treasury. The funds received pursuant to this Section | ||||||
15 | shall be subject to
appropriation by the General Assembly. If | ||||||
16 | an electric utility does
not remit its pro rata share to the | ||||||
17 | Department of Revenue, the Department of
Revenue must inform | ||||||
18 | the Illinois Commerce Commission of such failure. The
Illinois | ||||||
19 | Commerce Commission may then revoke the certification of that | ||||||
20 | electric
utility. This Section is repealed on April 1, 2015 | ||||||
21 | January 1, 2014 .
