1 AN ACT in relation to gasohol, amending named Acts.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
5 Section 3-10 as follows:
6 (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
7 Sec. 3-10. Rate of tax. Unless otherwise provided in
8 this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
9 6.25% of either the selling price or the fair market value,
10 if any, of the tangible personal property. In all cases
11 where property functionally used or consumed is the same as
12 the property that was purchased at retail, then the tax is
13 imposed on the selling price of the property. In all cases
14 where property functionally used or consumed is a by-product
15 or waste product that has been refined, manufactured, or
16 produced from property purchased at retail, then the tax is
17 imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
18 specific property so used in this State or on the selling
19 price of the property purchased at retail. For purposes of
20 this Section "fair market value" means the price at which
21 property would change hands between a willing buyer and a
22 willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
23 sell and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant
24 facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
25 sales by the taxpayer of the same property as that
26 functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such sales
27 by the taxpayer, then comparable sales or purchases of
28 property of like kind and character in Illinois.
29 With respect to gasohol, the tax imposed by this Act
30 applies to 70% of the proceeds of sales made on or after
31 January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2007 1999, and to 100% of
-2- LRB9011546KDpcA
1 the proceeds of sales made thereafter, except that from July
2 1, 1997 to July 1, 1999, the rate shall be 85% for gasohol
3 sold in this State during the 12 months beginning July 1
4 following any calendar year for which the Department has
5 determined that the percentages in Section 10 of the Gasohol
6 Fuels Tax Abatement Act have not been met.
7 With respect to food for human consumption that is to be
8 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
9 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been
10 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
11 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances,
12 modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
13 it usable by a disabled person, and insulin, urine testing
14 materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
15 use, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For the purposes
16 of this Section, the term "soft drinks" means any complete,
17 finished, ready-to-use, non-alcoholic drink, whether
18 carbonated or not, including but not limited to soda water,
19 cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
20 other preparations commonly known as soft drinks of whatever
21 kind or description that are contained in any closed or
22 sealed bottle, can, carton, or container, regardless of size.
23 "Soft drinks" does not include coffee, tea, non-carbonated
24 water, infant formula, milk or milk products as defined in
25 the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
26 containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
27 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, "food
28 for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
29 where it is sold" includes all food sold through a vending
30 machine, except soft drinks and food products that are
31 dispensed hot from a vending machine, regardless of the
32 location of the vending machine.
33 If the property that is purchased at retail from a
34 retailer is acquired outside Illinois and used outside
-3- LRB9011546KDpcA
1 Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
2 taxable under this Act, the "selling price" on which the tax
3 is computed shall be reduced by an amount that represents a
4 reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
5 out-of-state use.

7 prepared for immediate consumption and transferred incident
8 to a sale of service subject to this Act or the Service
9 Occupation Tax Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
10 Licensing Act or the Nursing Home Care Act. The tax shall
11 also be imposed at the rate of 1% on food for human
12 consumption that is to be consumed off the premises where it
13 is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and
