8 Appropriations for any of such purposes are payable from
9 the Road Fund or the Grade Crossing Protection Fund as

11 Beginning with fiscal year 1991 and thereafter, no Road
12 Fund monies shall be appropriated to the Department of State
13 Police for the purposes of this Section in excess of its
14 total fiscal year 1990 Road Fund appropriations for those
15 purposes unless otherwise provided in Section 5g of this Act.
16 It shall not be lawful to circumvent this limitation on
17 appropriations by governmental reorganization or other
18 methods unless otherwise provided in Section 5g of this Act.
19 In fiscal year 1994, no Road Fund monies shall be
20 appropriated to the Secretary of State for the purposes of
21 this Section in excess of the total fiscal year 1991 Road
22 Fund appropriations to the Secretary of State for those
23 purposes, plus $9,800,000. It shall not be lawful to
24 circumvent this limitation on appropriations by governmental
25 reorganization or other method.
26 Beginning with fiscal year 1995 and thereafter, no Road

18 (Source: P.A. 87-774; 87-1228; 88-78.)
19 Section 10. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing
20 Section 9 as follows:
21 (35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
22 Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft,
23 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
24 with an agency of this State, each retailer required or
25 authorized to collect the tax imposed by this Act shall pay
26 to the Department the amount of such tax (except as otherwise
27 provided) at the time when he is required to file his return
28 for the period during which such tax was collected, less a
29 discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
30 after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
31 greater, which is allowed to reimburse the retailer for
32 expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
33 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
-8- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 data to the Department on request. In the case of retailers
2 who report and pay the tax on a transaction by transaction
3 basis, as provided in this Section, such discount shall be
4 taken with each such tax remittance instead of when such
5 retailer files his periodic return. A retailer need not
6 remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
7 that he is required to remit and does remit the tax imposed
8 by the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the
9 sale of the same property.
10 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
11 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
12 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
13 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
14 return is filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except
15 as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that
16 are required to be registered with an agency of this State),
17 may collect for each tax return period, only the tax
18 applicable to that part of the selling price actually
19 received during such tax return period.
20 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
21 twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall
22 file a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return
23 shall be filed on forms prescribed by the Department and
24 shall furnish such information as the Department may
25 reasonably require.
26 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
27 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
28 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
29 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
30 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
31 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
32 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
33 stating:
34 1. The name of the seller;
35 2. The address of the principal place of business
-9- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
2 personal property at retail in this State;
3 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
4 him during the preceding calendar month from sales of
5 tangible personal property by him during such preceding
6 calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
7 sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
8 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
9 this Act;
10 5. The amount of tax due;
11 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
12 6. Such other reasonable information as the
13 Department may require.
14 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
15 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
16 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
17 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
18 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
19 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
20 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
21 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
22 an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall
23 make all payments required by rules of the Department by
24 electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
25 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
26 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
27 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
28 monthly tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's
29 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
30 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
31 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
32 divided by 12.
33 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
34 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
35 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
-10- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
2 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
3 1.
4 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
5 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
6 with the permission of the Department.
7 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
8 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
9 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
10 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
11 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
12 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
13 requirements of this Section.
14 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
15 Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
16 the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act was
17 $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar
18 quarters, he shall file a return with the Department each
19 month by the 20th day of the month next following the month
20 during which such tax liability is incurred and shall make
21 payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd
22 and last day of the month during which such liability is
23 incurred. If the month during which such tax liability is
24 incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each payment shall
25 be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual
26 liability for the month or an amount set by the Department
27 not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability of the
28 taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
29 calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability
30 and the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period).
31 If the month during which such tax liability is incurred
32 begins on or after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1,
33 1987, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
34 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
35 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
-11- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
2 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, and prior to
3 January 1, 1988, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
4 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or
5 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar
6 month of the preceding year. If the month during which such
7 tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1988,
8 and prior to January 1, 1989, or begins on or after January
9 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of
10 the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25% of the
11 taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
12 preceding year. If the month during which such tax liability
13 is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1989, and prior to
14 January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
15 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 25%
16 of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of
17 the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's actual liability
18 for the quarter monthly reporting period. The amount of such
19 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
20 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month. Once
21 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
22 payments to the Department shall continue until such
23 taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department during
24 the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the
25 month of highest liability and the month of lowest liability)
26 is less than $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly
27 liability to the Department as computed for each calendar
28 quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar quarter period
29 is less than $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the
30 Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
31 business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
32 that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
33 foreseeable future will fall below $10,000, then such
34 taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
35 taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change
-12- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such
2 change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term.
3 If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time
4 or in the amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer
5 shall be liable for penalties and interest on the difference
6 between the minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter
7 monthly payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as
8 the taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to
9 the Department in excess of the minimum payments previously
10 due as provided in this Section. The Department shall make
11 reasonable rules and regulations to govern the quarter
12 monthly payment amount and quarter monthly payment dates for
13 taxpayers who file on other than a calendar monthly basis.
14 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
15 the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
16 Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
17 Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
18 the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit
19 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment,
20 which memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the
21 Department in payment of tax liability subsequently to be
22 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by
23 the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the
24 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act
25 or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
26 rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Department,
27 except that if such excess payment is shown on an original
28 monthly return and is made after December 31, 1986, no credit
29 memorandum shall be issued, unless requested by the taxpayer.
30 If no such request is made, the taxpayer may credit such
31 excess payment against tax liability subsequently to be
32 remitted by the taxpayer to the Department under this Act,
33 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
34 Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable
35 rules and regulations prescribed by the Department. If the
-13- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 Department subsequently determines that all or any part of
2 the credit taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the
3 taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced
4 by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the credit taken
5 and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be liable for
6 penalties and interest on such difference.
7 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
8 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
9 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
10 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
11 with the return for January, February, and March of a given
12 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
13 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
14 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
15 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
16 the return for October, November and December of a given year
17 being due by January 20 of the following year.
18 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
19 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
20 liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
21 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
22 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
23 20 of the following year.
24 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
25 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
26 monthly returns.
27 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
28 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
29 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
30 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
31 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
32 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
33 month after discontinuing such business.
34 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
35 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
-14- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
2 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
3 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
4 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
5 personal property which the retailer sells, except that
6 where, in the same transaction, a retailer of aircraft,
7 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
8 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
9 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for
10 the purpose of resale, that seller for resale may report the
11 transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or
12 trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on
13 the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
14 For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
15 Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of
16 the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft,
17 or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
18 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
19 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
20 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
21 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois
22 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
23 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
24 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
25 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
26 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
27 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
28 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
29 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
30 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
31 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
32 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
33 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
34 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
35 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
-15- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 the property sold; such other information as is required in
2 Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
3 information as the Department may reasonably require.
4 The transaction reporting return in the case of
5 watercraft and aircraft must show the name and address of the
6 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
7 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
8 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
9 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
10 if any, to the extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows
11 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
12 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
13 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
14 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
15 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
16 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
17 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
18 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of
19 the property sold, and such other information as the
20 Department may reasonably require.
21 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
22 later than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item
23 that is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any
24 time sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The
25 transaction reporting return and tax remittance or proof of
26 exemption from the tax that is imposed by this Act may be
27 transmitted to the Department by way of the State agency with
28 which, or State officer with whom, the tangible personal
29 property must be titled or registered (if titling or
30 registration is required) if the Department and such agency
31 or State officer determine that this procedure will expedite
32 the processing of applications for title or registration.
33 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
34 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
35 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
-16- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
2 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax
3 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
4 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
5 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
6 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
7 personal property that is involved (if titling or
8 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
9 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
10 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
11 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
12 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
13 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
14 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
15 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
16 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
17 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
18 mandate of this paragraph.
19 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
20 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
21 of tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before
22 the retailer is willing to take these actions and such user
23 has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify
24 to the fact of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the
25 Department being satisfied of the truth of such
26 certification) transmit the information required by the
27 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
28 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
29 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
30 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
31 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
32 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
33 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
34 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
35 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
-17- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
2 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
3 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
4 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells
5 and the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
6 property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof
7 to the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
8 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
9 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
10 to the purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the
11 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use
12 tax which such retailer may be required to pay or remit to
13 the Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the
14 tax to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department
15 by such retailer. If the retailer has not previously
16 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he is
17 entitled to no deduction under this Act upon refunding such
18 tax to the purchaser.
19 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall
20 also include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the
21 total tax covered by such return upon the selling price of
22 tangible personal property purchased by him at retail from a
23 retailer, but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not
24 collected from the retailer filing such return, and such
25 retailer shall remit the amount of such tax to the Department
26 when filing such return.
27 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
28 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
29 joint return which will enable retailers, who are required to
30 file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
31 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
32 required by both Acts on the one form.
33 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
34 with the Department under separate registration under this
35 Act, such retailer may not file each return that is due as a
-18- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 single return covering all such registered businesses, but
2 shall file separate returns for each such registered
3 business.
4 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
5 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
6 special fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created,
7 the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1%
8 tax on sales of food for human consumption which is to be
9 consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
10 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which has been
11 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
12 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
13 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used
14 by diabetics.
15 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
16 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
17 of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
18 6.25% general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
19 property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
20 retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of
21 this State's government.
22 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
23 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a
24 special fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue
25 realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate
26 on the selling price of tangible personal property, other
27 than tangible personal property which is purchased outside
28 Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is titled or
29 registered by an agency of this State's government.
30 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
31 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
32 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
33 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
34 property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a
35 retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency of
-19- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 this State's government.
2 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
3 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
4 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
5 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
6 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
7 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
8 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
9 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
10 to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9
11 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
12 Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
13 hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
14 or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter
15 called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
16 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
17 Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount
18 (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
19 Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
20 paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
21 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and further
22 provided, that if on the last business day of any month the
23 sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
24 the Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund
25 during such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
26 month to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local
27 Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the
28 Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference
29 shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from
30 other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax
31 Acts; and, further provided, that in no event shall the
32 payments required under the preceding proviso result in
33 aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
34 this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater
35 of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount
-20- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 for such fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts
2 payable into the Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b)
3 shall be payable only until such time as the aggregate amount
4 on deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued
5 and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
6 sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
7 to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the
8 defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
9 any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and
10 on any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees
11 and costs payable with respect thereto, all as certified by
12 the Director of the Bureau of the Budget. If on the last
13 business day of any month in which Bonds are outstanding
14 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
15 moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond Account in the
16 Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less than the
17 amount required to be transferred in such month from the
18 Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
19 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
20 Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
21 shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
22 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois
23 Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build
24 Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
25 shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
26 of the preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount
27 otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b)
28 of the preceding sentence. The moneys received by the
29 Department pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited
30 into the Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim
31 and charge set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond
32 Act.
33 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois
34 Fund as provided in the preceding paragraph or in any
35 amendment thereto hereafter enacted, the following specified

28 thereafter that bonds
29 are outstanding under
30 Section 13.2 of the
31 Metropolitan Pier and
32 Exposition Authority
33 Act, but not after fiscal year 2029.
34 Beginning July 20, 1993 and in each month of each fiscal
35 year thereafter, one-eighth of the amount requested in the
-22- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 certificate of the Chairman of the Metropolitan Pier and
2 Exposition Authority for that fiscal year, less the amount
3 deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund by
4 the State Treasurer in the respective month under subsection
5 (g) of Section 13 of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition

8 shall be deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project
9 Fund, until the full amount requested for the fiscal year,
10 but not in excess of the amount specified above as "Total
11 Deposit", has been deposited.
12 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois
13 Fund and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant
14 to the preceding paragraphs or in any amendment thereto
15 hereafter enacted, each month the Department shall pay into
16 the Local Government Distributive Fund .4% of the net revenue
17 realized for the preceding month from the 5% general rate, or
18 .4% of 80% of the net revenue realized for the preceding
19 month from the 6.25% general rate, as the case may be, on the
20 selling price of tangible personal property which amount
21 shall, subject to appropriation, be distributed as provided
22 in Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act. No payments or
23 distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be made if the
24 tax imposed by this Act on photoprocessing products is
25 declared unconstitutional, or if the proceeds from such tax
26 are unavailable for distribution because of litigation.
27 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois
28 Fund, the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund, and the
29 Local Government Distributive Fund pursuant to the preceding
30 paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter enacted,

-23- LRB9106061EGfgccr5

2 pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the
3 State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
4 and used only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as
5 part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
6 accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
7 As soon as possible after the first day of each month,

11 Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue
12 realized under this Act for the second preceding month;
13 except that this transfer shall not be made for the months
14 February through June of 1992. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
15 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
16 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
17 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
18 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
19 overpayment of liability.
20 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
21 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
22 in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
23 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
24 Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to

29 Section 15. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by
30 changing Section 9 as follows:
31 (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
32 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to
33 collect the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department
-24- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 the amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the
2 time when he is required to file his return for the period
3 during which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1%
4 prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1,
5 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is
6 allowed to reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in
7 collecting the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing
8 returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to the
9 Department on request. A serviceman need not remit that part
10 of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is required
11 to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service Occupation
12 Tax Act with respect to his sale of service involving the
13 incidental transfer by him of the same property.
14 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
15 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
16 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
17 month in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to
18 be promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed
19 on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
20 information as the Department may reasonably require.
21 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
22 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
23 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
24 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
25 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
26 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
27 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
28 stating:
29 1. The name of the seller;
30 2. The address of the principal place of business
31 from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
32 State;
33 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
34 him during the preceding calendar month, including
35 receipts from charge and time sales, but less all
-25- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 deductions allowed by law;
2 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
3 this Act;
4 5. The amount of tax due;
5 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
6 6. Such other reasonable information as the
7 Department may require.
8 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
9 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
10 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
11 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
12 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
13 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
14 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
15 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
16 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
17 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
18 by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
19 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
20 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
21 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
22 monthly tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's
23 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
24 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
25 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
26 divided by 12.
27 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
28 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
29 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required
30 to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make
31 those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on October
32 1.
33 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
34 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
35 with the permission of the Department.
-26- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
2 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
3 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
4 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
5 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
6 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
7 requirements of this Section.
8 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
9 return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability
10 to the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
11 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
12 with the return for January, February and March of a given
13 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
14 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
15 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
16 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
17 the return for October, November and December of a given year
18 being due by January 20 of the following year.
19 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
20 or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly
21 tax liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the
22 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
23 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
24 20 of the following year.
25 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
26 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
27 monthly returns.
28 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
29 concerning the time within which a serviceman may file his
30 return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
31 a kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
32 returns under this Act, such serviceman shall file a final
33 return under this Act with the Department not more than 1
34 month after discontinuing such business.
35 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
-27- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
2 thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds
3 the selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman
4 shall also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected
5 from the purchaser. When filing his return for the period in
6 which he refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman
7 may deduct the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the
8 purchaser from any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation
9 Tax, retailers' occupation tax or use tax which such
10 serviceman may be required to pay or remit to the Department,
11 as shown by such return, provided that the amount of the tax
12 to be deducted shall previously have been remitted to the
13 Department by such serviceman. If the serviceman shall not
14 previously have remitted the amount of such tax to the
15 Department, he shall be entitled to no deduction hereunder
16 upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
17 Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also
18 include the total tax upon the selling price of tangible
19 personal property purchased for use by him as an incident to
20 a sale of service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount
21 of such tax to the Department when filing such return.
22 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
23 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
24 joint return which will enable servicemen, who are required
25 to file returns hereunder and also under the Service
26 Occupation Tax Act, to furnish all the return information
27 required by both Acts on the one form.
28 Where the serviceman has more than one business
29 registered with the Department under separate registration
30 hereunder, such serviceman shall not file each return that is
31 due as a single return covering all such registered
32 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
33 registered business.
34 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
35 shall pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special
-28- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 fund in the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for the
2 preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of food for human
3 consumption which is to be consumed off the premises where it
4 is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food
5 which has been prepared for immediate consumption) and
6 prescription and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical
7 appliances and insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and
8 needles used by diabetics.
9 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
10 shall pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 20%
11 of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from the
12 6.25% general rate on transfers of tangible personal
13 property, other than tangible personal property which is
14 purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and
15 which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's
16 government.
17 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
18 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
19 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
20 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
21 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
22 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
23 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
24 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
25 to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9
26 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
27 Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
28 hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
29 or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter
30 called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
31 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
32 Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount
33 (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
34 Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
35 paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
-29- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and further
2 provided, that if on the last business day of any month the
3 sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
4 the Build Illinois Bond Account in the Build Illinois Fund
5 during such month and (2) the amount transferred during such
6 month to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local
7 Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the
8 Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference
9 shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from
10 other moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax
11 Acts; and, further provided, that in no event shall the
12 payments required under the preceding proviso result in
13 aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to
14 this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater
15 of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount

34 Section 20. The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
-33- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 changing Section 9 as follows:
2 (35 ILCS 115/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.109)
3 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to
4 collect the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department
5 the amount of such tax at the time when he is required to
6 file his return for the period during which such tax was
7 collectible, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
8 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per
9 calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
10 reimburse the serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting
11 the tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns,
12 remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department on
13 request.
14 Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
15 conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
16 wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof,
17 is extended beyond the close of the period for which the
18 return is filed, the serviceman, in collecting the tax may
19 collect, for each tax return period, only the tax applicable
20 to the part of the selling price actually received during
21 such tax return period.
22 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
23 before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
24 serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar
25 month in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to
26 be promulgated by the Department of Revenue. Such return
27 shall be filed on a form prescribed by the Department and
28 shall contain such information as the Department may
29 reasonably require.
30 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
31 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
32 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
33 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
34 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
-34- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
2 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
3 stating:
4 1. The name of the seller;
5 2. The address of the principal place of business
6 from which he engages in business as a serviceman in this
7 State;
8 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
9 him during the preceding calendar month, including
10 receipts from charge and time sales, but less all
11 deductions allowed by law;
12 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
13 this Act;
14 5. The amount of tax due;
15 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
16 6. Such other reasonable information as the
17 Department may require.
18 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
19 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
20 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
21 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
22 A serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
23 certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
24 Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
25 the purchaser provides the appropriate documentation as
26 required by Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act. A
27 Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted by a
28 serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
29 Act, may be used by that serviceman to satisfy Service
30 Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in the
31 certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
32 tax from a qualifying purchase.
33 If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
34 Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
35 his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
-35- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 return for January, February and March of a given year being
2 due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May
3 and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
4 with the return for July, August and September of a given
5 year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the
6 return for October, November and December of a given year
7 being due by January 20 of the following year.
8 If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
9 Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
10 his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return
11 for a given year being due by January 20 of the following
12 year.
13 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
14 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
15 monthly returns.
16 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
17 concerning the time within which a serviceman may file his
18 return, in the case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in
19 a kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
20 returns under this Act, such serviceman shall file a final
21 return under this Act with the Department not more than 1
22 month after discontinuing such business.
23 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
24 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
25 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
26 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
27 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
28 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
29 by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
30 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
31 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
32 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
33 monthly tax liability" means the sum of the taxpayer's
34 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
35 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
-36- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
2 divided by 12.
3 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
4 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
5 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers
6 required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
7 make those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on
8 October 1.
9 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
10 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
11 with the permission of the Department.
12 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
13 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
14 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
15 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
16 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
17 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
18 requirements of this Section.
19 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
20 selling price of tangible personal property which he sells
21 and the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
22 property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
23 to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
24 purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When
25 filing his return for the period in which he refunds such tax
26 to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the
27 tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from any other
28 Service Occupation Tax, Service Use Tax, Retailers'
29 Occupation Tax or Use Tax which such serviceman may be
30 required to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such
31 return, provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted
32 shall previously have been remitted to the Department by such
33 serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
34 remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall
35 be entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax
-37- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 to the purchaser.
2 If experience indicates such action to be practicable,
3 the Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or
4 joint return which will enable servicemen, who are required
5 to file returns hereunder and also under the Retailers'
6 Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax
7 Act, to furnish all the return information required by all
8 said Acts on the one form.
9 Where the serviceman has more than one business
10 registered with the Department under separate registrations
11 hereunder, such serviceman shall file separate returns for
12 each registered business.
13 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
14 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund the revenue
15 realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of
16 food for human consumption which is to be consumed off the
17 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
18 soft drinks and food which has been prepared for immediate
19 consumption) and prescription and nonprescription medicines,
20 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
21 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
22 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
23 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4%
24 of the revenue realized for the preceding month from the

29 general rate on transfers of tangible personal property.
30 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
31 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
32 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
33 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
34 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
35 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,

3 to Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9
4 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and
5 Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being
6 hereinafter called the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2%
7 or 3.8%, as the case may be, of moneys being hereinafter
8 called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2) the amount transferred
9 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
10 Reform Fund shall be less than the Annual Specified Amount
11 (as defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
12 Act), an amount equal to the difference shall be immediately
13 paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other moneys received
14 by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts; and further
15 provided, that if on the last business day of any month the
16 sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount required to be deposited into
17 the Build Illinois Account in the Build Illinois Fund during
18 such month and (2) the amount transferred during such month
19 to the Build Illinois Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax
20 Reform Fund shall have been less than 1/12 of the Annual
21 Specified Amount, an amount equal to the difference shall be
22 immediately paid into the Build Illinois Fund from other
23 moneys received by the Department pursuant to the Tax Acts;
24 and, further provided, that in no event shall the payments
25 required under the preceding proviso result in aggregate
26 payments into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to this clause
27 (b) for any fiscal year in excess of the greater of (i) the
28 Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual Specified Amount for such
29 fiscal year; and, further provided, that the amounts payable
30 into the Build Illinois Fund under this clause (b) shall be
31 payable only until such time as the aggregate amount on
32 deposit under each trust indenture securing Bonds issued and
33 outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is
34 sufficient, taking into account any future investment income,
35 to fully provide, in accordance with such indenture, for the
-39- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 defeasance of or the payment of the principal of, premium, if
2 any, and interest on the Bonds secured by such indenture and
3 on any Bonds expected to be issued thereafter and all fees
4 and costs payable with respect thereto, all as certified by
5 the Director of the Bureau of the Budget. If on the last
6 business day of any month in which Bonds are outstanding
7 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the aggregate of the
8 moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond Account in the
9 Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less than the
10 amount required to be transferred in such month from the

15 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois
16 Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build
17 Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
18 shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
19 of the preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount
20 otherwise payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b)
21 of the preceding sentence. The moneys received by the

2 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
3 Such annual return to the Department shall include a
4 statement of gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last
5 Federal income tax return. If the total receipts of the
6 business as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
7 agree with the gross receipts reported to the Department of
8 Revenue for the same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his
9 annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
10 amounts and the reasons for the difference. The taxpayer's
11 annual return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
12 of goods sold by the taxpayer during the year covered by such
13 return, opening and closing inventories of such goods for
14 such year, cost of goods used from stock or taken from stock

17 any additional reasonable information which the Department
18 deems would be helpful in determining the accuracy of the
19 monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by such taxpayer
20 as hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
21 If the annual information return required by this Section
22 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be
23 liable as follows:
24 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
25 liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
26 from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
27 covered by the annual return for each month or fraction
28 of a month until such return is filed as required, the
29 penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner
30 as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
31 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer
32 shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
33 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
34 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
35 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
-43- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person
2 who willfully signs the annual return containing false or
3 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and
4 punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by
5 the Department shall include a warning that the person
6 signing the return may be liable for perjury.
7 The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the
8 filing of an annual information return shall not apply to a

16 realized under this Act for the second preceding month;
17 except that this transfer shall not be made for the months
18 February through June, 1992. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
19 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
20 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
21 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
22 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
23 overpayment of liability.
24 For greater simplicity of administration, it shall be
25 permissible for manufacturers, importers and wholesalers
26 whose products are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois,
27 and who wish to do so, to assume the responsibility for
28 accounting and paying to the Department all tax accruing
29 under this Act with respect to such sales, if the servicemen
30 who are affected do not make written objection to the
31 Department to this arrangement.

1 Section 25. The Retailers' Occupation Tax Act is amended
2 by changing Section 3 as follows:
3 (35 ILCS 120/3) (from Ch. 120, par. 442)
4 Sec. 3. Except as provided in this Section, on or before
5 the twentieth day of each calendar month, every person
6 engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property
7 at retail in this State during the preceding calendar month
8 shall file a return with the Department, stating:
9 1. The name of the seller;
10 2. His residence address and the address of his
11 principal place of business and the address of the
12 principal place of business (if that is a different
13 address) from which he engages in the business of selling
14 tangible personal property at retail in this State;
15 3. Total amount of receipts received by him during
16 the preceding calendar month or quarter, as the case may
17 be, from sales of tangible personal property, and from
18 services furnished, by him during such preceding calendar
19 month or quarter;
20 4. Total amount received by him during the
21 preceding calendar month or quarter on charge and time
22 sales of tangible personal property, and from services
23 furnished, by him prior to the month or quarter for which
24 the return is filed;
25 5. Deductions allowed by law;
26 6. Gross receipts which were received by him during
27 the preceding calendar month or quarter and upon the
28 basis of which the tax is imposed;
29 7. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
30 this Act;
31 8. The amount of tax due;
32 9. The signature of the taxpayer; and
33 10. Such other reasonable information as the
34 Department may require.
-45- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
2 the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
3 the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to
4 be due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
5 Each return shall be accompanied by the statement of
6 prepaid tax issued pursuant to Section 2e for which credit is
7 claimed.
8 A retailer may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
9 certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax as
10 provided in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the purchaser
11 provides the appropriate documentation as required by Section
12 3-85 of the Use Tax Act. A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
13 certification, accepted by a retailer as provided in Section
14 3-85 of the Use Tax Act, may be used by that retailer to
15 satisfy Retailers' Occupation Tax liability in the amount
16 claimed in the certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the
17 receipts subject to tax from a qualifying purchase.
18 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
19 quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
20 quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
21 calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter.
22 The taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for
23 each of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or
24 before the twentieth day of the following calendar month,
25 stating:
26 1. The name of the seller;
27 2. The address of the principal place of business
28 from which he engages in the business of selling tangible
29 personal property at retail in this State;
30 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by
31 him during the preceding calendar month from sales of
32 tangible personal property by him during such preceding
33 calendar month, including receipts from charge and time
34 sales, but less all deductions allowed by law;
35 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of
-46- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 this Act;
2 5. The amount of tax due; and
3 6. Such other reasonable information as the
4 Department may require.
5 If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable
6 or creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less
7 than 50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents
8 or more.
9 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
10 monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
11 payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
12 funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who
13 has an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more
14 shall make all payments required by rules of the Department
15 by electronic funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a
16 taxpayer who has an average monthly tax liability of $50,000
17 or more shall make all payments required by rules of the
18 Department by electronic funds transfer. The term "average
19 monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of the taxpayer's
20 liabilities under this Act, and under all other State and
21 local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
22 Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
23 divided by 12.
24 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
25 Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make
26 payments by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers
27 required to make payments by electronic funds transfer shall
28 make those payments for a minimum of one year beginning on
29 October 1.
30 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
31 funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
32 with the permission of the Department.
33 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic
34 funds transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily
35 make payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those
-47- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 payments in the manner authorized by the Department.
2 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
3 effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
4 requirements of this Section.
5 Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on
6 any return or other document under this Act shall, if such
7 amount is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the
8 nearest whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional
9 part of a dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the
10 nearest whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a
11 dollar is less than 50 cents.
12 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
13 return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
14 the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
15 authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
16 with the return for January, February and March of a given
17 year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
18 April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of
19 such year; with the return for July, August and September of
20 a given year being due by October 20 of such year, and with
21 the return for October, November and December of a given year
22 being due by January 20 of the following year.
23 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
24 or quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
25 liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
26 Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
27 basis, with the return for a given year being due by January
28 20 of the following year.
29 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
30 substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as
31 monthly returns.
32 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act
33 concerning the time within which a retailer may file his
34 return, in the case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a
35 kind of business which makes him responsible for filing
-48- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 returns under this Act, such retailer shall file a final
2 return under this Act with the Department not more than one
3 month after discontinuing such business.
4 Where the same person has more than one business
5 registered with the Department under separate registrations
6 under this Act, such person may not file each return that is
7 due as a single return covering all such registered
8 businesses, but shall file separate returns for each such
9 registered business.
10 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
11 aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered
12 with an agency of this State, every retailer selling this
13 kind of tangible personal property shall file, with the
14 Department, upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the
15 Department, a separate return for each such item of tangible
16 personal property which the retailer sells, except that
17 where, in the same transaction, a retailer of aircraft,
18 watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers transfers more than
19 one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another
20 aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle retailer or trailer
21 retailer for the purpose of resale, that seller for resale
22 may report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor
23 vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
24 Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
25 return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft"
26 means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in
27 Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a
28 personal watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard
29 motor.
30 Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
31 aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
32 an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation
33 tax liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on
34 such transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise
35 required to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file
-49- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 monthly or quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall
2 be required to file returns on an annual basis.
3 The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
4 vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with
5 an agency of this State, shall be the same document as the
6 Uniform Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of The Illinois
7 Vehicle Code and must show the name and address of the
8 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
9 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
10 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
11 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
12 if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
13 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
14 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
15 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
16 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
17 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
18 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
19 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
20 place and date of the sale; a sufficient identification of
21 the property sold; such other information as is required in
22 Section 5-402 of The Illinois Vehicle Code, and such other
23 information as the Department may reasonably require.
24 The transaction reporting return in the case of
25 watercraft or aircraft must show the name and address of the
26 seller; the name and address of the purchaser; the amount of
27 the selling price including the amount allowed by the
28 retailer for traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed
29 by the retailer for the traded-in tangible personal property,
30 if any, to the extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows
31 an exemption for the value of traded-in property; the balance
32 payable after deducting such trade-in allowance from the
33 total selling price; the amount of tax due from the retailer
34 with respect to such transaction; the amount of tax collected
35 from the purchaser by the retailer on such transaction (or
-50- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 satisfactory evidence that such tax is not due in that
2 particular instance, if that is claimed to be the fact); the
3 place and date of the sale, a sufficient identification of
4 the property sold, and such other information as the
5 Department may reasonably require.
6 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not
7 later than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that
8 is being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time
9 sooner than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction
10 reporting return and tax remittance or proof of exemption
11 from the Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the
12 Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
13 officer with whom the tangible personal property must be
14 titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
15 if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
16 that this procedure will expedite the processing of
17 applications for title or registration.
18 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
19 shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
20 satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
21 the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
22 Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
23 receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
24 satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
25 purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State
26 officer with whom, he must title or register the tangible
27 personal property that is involved (if titling or
28 registration is required) in support of such purchaser's
29 application for an Illinois certificate or other evidence of
30 title or registration to such tangible personal property.
31 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
32 Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
33 retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
34 evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
35 is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user
-51- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 has paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
2 Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
3 mandate of this paragraph.
4 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
5 wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment
6 of the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department
7 before the retailer is willing to take these actions and such
8 user has not paid the tax to the retailer, such user may
9 certify to the fact of such delay by the retailer and may
10 (upon the Department being satisfied of the truth of such
11 certification) transmit the information required by the
12 transaction reporting return and the remittance for tax or
13 proof of exemption directly to the Department and obtain his
14 tax receipt or exemption determination, in which event the
15 transaction reporting return and tax remittance (if a tax
16 payment was required) shall be credited by the Department to
17 the proper retailer's account with the Department, but
18 without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount provided for in this
19 Section being allowed. When the user pays the tax directly
20 to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the same amount
21 and in the same form in which it would be remitted if the tax
22 had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
23 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
24 period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal
25 property returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a
26 deduction under subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly
27 return, as the case may be, in case the seller had
28 theretofore included the receipts from the sale of such
29 tangible personal property in a return filed by him and had
30 paid the tax imposed by this Act with respect to such
31 receipts.
32 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
33 behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
34 vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
35 accredited agent of such corporation.
-52- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the
2 return filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall
3 be signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent
4 of the limited liability company.
5 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing
6 the return under this Section shall, at the time of filing
7 such return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed
8 by this Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990
9 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
10 year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
11 retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
12 preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
13 data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made
14 pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
15 amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In
16 the case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a
17 transaction by transaction basis, as provided in this
18 Section, such discount shall be taken with each such tax
19 remittance instead of when such retailer files his periodic
20 return.
21 If the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
22 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
23 Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding
24 any liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in
25 accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000 or more
26 during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall
27 file a return with the Department each month by the 20th day
28 of the month next following the month during which such tax
29 liability is incurred and shall make payments to the
30 Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of
31 the month during which such liability is incurred. If the
32 month during which such tax liability is incurred began prior
33 to January 1, 1985, each payment shall be in an amount equal
34 to 1/4 of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or an
35 amount set by the Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average
-53- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 monthly liability of the taxpayer to the Department for the
2 preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month
3 of highest liability and the month of lowest liability in
4 such 4 quarter period). If the month during which such tax
5 liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1985 and
6 prior to January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
7 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
8 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
9 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
10 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
11 January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each payment
12 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
13 liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability
14 for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If the
15 month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
16 or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
17 begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in
18 an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability
19 for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
20 calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during
21 which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
22 January 1, 1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment
23 shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
24 liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability
25 for the same calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of
26 the taxpayer's actual liability for the quarter monthly
27 reporting period. The amount of such quarter monthly
28 payments shall be credited against the final tax liability of
29 the taxpayer's return for that month. Once applicable, the
30 requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
31 Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax
32 liability of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner
33 provided above shall continue until such taxpayer's average
34 monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
35 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
-54- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
2 $9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
3 the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
4 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
5 $10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that
6 a substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
7 which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
8 monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
9 will fall below $10,000, then such taxpayer may petition the
10 Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status.
11 The Department shall change such taxpayer's reporting status
12 unless it finds that such change is seasonal in nature and
13 not likely to be long term. If any such quarter monthly
14 payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required by
15 this Section, then the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties
16 and interest on the difference between the minimum amount due
17 as a payment and the amount of such quarter monthly payment
18 actually and timely paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has
19 previously made payments for that month to the Department in
20 excess of the minimum payments previously due as provided in
21 this Section. The Department shall make reasonable rules and
22 regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment amount and
23 quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file on other
24 than a calendar monthly basis.
25 Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
26 quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
27 is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
28 prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average
29 in excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2
30 complete calendar quarters, shall file a return with the
31 Department as required by Section 2f and shall make payments
32 to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last
33 day of the month during which such liability is incurred. If
34 the month during which such tax liability is incurred began
35 prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985,
-55- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
2 taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
3 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
4 after January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount
5 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
6 month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
7 calendar month of the preceding calendar year. If the month
8 during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
9 after January 1, 1987, each payment shall be in an amount
10 equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the
11 month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
12 calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of such
13 quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the final
14 tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month filed
15 under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be. Once
16 applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
17 payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph shall
18 continue until such taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
19 collections during the preceding 2 complete calendar quarters
20 is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter monthly payment is
21 not paid at the time or in the amount required, the taxpayer
22 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
23 difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously
24 made payments for that month in excess of the minimum
25 payments previously due.
26 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
27 taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
28 Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
29 shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
30 requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
31 memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment.
32 The credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be
33 assigned by the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this
34 Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the
35 Service Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
-56- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 regulations to be prescribed by the Department. If no such
2 request is made, the taxpayer may credit such excess payment
3 against tax liability subsequently to be remitted to the
4 Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
5 Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in accordance
6 with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by the
7 Department. If the Department subsequently determined that
8 all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to
9 the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% and 1.75% vendor's discount
10 shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between
11 the credit taken and that actually due, and that taxpayer
12 shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
13 difference.
14 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
15 Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
16 to the Department under this Act for the month which the
17 taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
18 taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
19 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
20 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund
21 in the State treasury which is hereby created, the net
22 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on
23 sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed
24 off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic
25 beverages, soft drinks and food which has been prepared for
26 immediate consumption) and prescription and nonprescription
27 medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
28 testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
29 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
30 shall pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund, a
31 special fund in the State treasury which is hereby created,
32 4% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month from
33 the 6.25% general rate.
34 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department
35 shall pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net
-57- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
2 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
3 property.
4 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
5 pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into
6 the Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2%
7 and on and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid
8 into the Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in
9 any fiscal year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%,
10 as the case may be, of the moneys received by the Department
11 and required to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant
12 to this Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the
13 Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation
14 Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called the "Tax Acts"
15 and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case may be, of
16 moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act Amount", and (2)
17 the amount transferred to the Build Illinois Fund from the
18 State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be less than the

15 in excess of the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii)
16 the Annual Specified Amount for such fiscal year. The
17 amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under clause (b)
18 of the first sentence in this paragraph shall be payable only
19 until such time as the aggregate amount on deposit under each
20 trust indenture securing Bonds issued and outstanding
21 pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act is sufficient, taking
22 into account any future investment income, to fully provide,

34 Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
35 Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the

3 Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois
4 Fund; provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build
5 Illinois Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence
6 shall be deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b)
7 of the first sentence of this paragraph and shall reduce the

26 but not in excess of the amount specified above as "Total
27 Deposit", has been deposited.
28 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois
29 Fund and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant
30 to the preceding paragraphs or in any amendment thereto
31 hereafter enacted, each month the Department shall pay into
32 the Local Government Distributive Fund 0.4% of the net
33 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 5% general
34 rate or 0.4% of 80% of the net revenue realized for the
35 preceding month from the 6.25% general rate, as the case may
-61- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 be, on the selling price of tangible personal property which
2 amount shall, subject to appropriation, be distributed as
3 provided in Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act. No
4 payments or distributions pursuant to this paragraph shall be
5 made if the tax imposed by this Act on photoprocessing
6 products is declared unconstitutional, or if the proceeds
7 from such tax are unavailable for distribution because of
8 litigation.
9 Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois
10 Fund, the McCormick Place Expansion Project to the preceding
11 paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter enacted,
12 beginning July 1, 1993, the Department shall each month pay
13 into the Illinois Tax Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of the net
14 revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
15 general rate on the selling price of tangible personal
16 property.
17 Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
18 pursuant to this Act, 75% thereof shall be paid into the
19 State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in a special account
20 and used only for the transfer to the Common School Fund as
21 part of the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
22 accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
23 The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
24 taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
25 Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
26 less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
27 information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
28 Such annual return to the Department shall include a
29 statement of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last
30 Federal income tax return. If the total receipts of the
31 business as reported in the Federal income tax return do not
32 agree with the gross receipts reported to the Department of
33 Revenue for the same period, the retailer shall attach to his
34 annual return a schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2
35 amounts and the reasons for the difference. The retailer's
-62- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 annual return to the Department shall also disclose the cost
2 of goods sold by the retailer during the year covered by such
3 return, opening and closing inventories of such goods for
4 such year, costs of goods used from stock or taken from stock
5 and given away by the retailer during such year, payroll
6 information of the retailer's business during such year and
7 any additional reasonable information which the Department
8 deems would be helpful in determining the accuracy of the
9 monthly, quarterly or annual returns filed by such retailer
10 as provided for in this Section.
11 If the annual information return required by this Section
12 is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be
13 liable as follows:
14 (i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be
15 liable for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due
16 from such taxpayer under this Act during the period to be
17 covered by the annual return for each month or fraction
18 of a month until such return is filed as required, the
19 penalty to be assessed and collected in the same manner
20 as any other penalty provided for in this Act.
21 (ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer
22 shall be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4
23 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
24 The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
25 ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
26 accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person
27 who willfully signs the annual return containing false or
28 inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and
29 punished accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by
30 the Department shall include a warning that the person
31 signing the return may be liable for perjury.
32 The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of
33 an annual information return do not apply to a retailer who
34 is not required to file an income tax return with the United
35 States Government.
-63- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
2 upon certification of the Department of Revenue, the
3 Comptroller shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall
4 transfer from the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax
5 Fund an amount equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue
6 realized under this Act for the second preceding month;
7 except that this transfer shall not be made for the months
8 February through June, 1992. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
9 transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
10 Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
11 collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
12 paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
13 overpayment of liability.
14 For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
15 importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail
16 in Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
17 assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
18 Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to
19 such sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make
20 written objection to the Department to this arrangement.
21 Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail
22 selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers
23 at the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
24 local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions
25 or events, including any transient merchant as defined by
26 Section 2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required
27 to file a report with the Department providing the name of
28 the merchant's business, the name of the person or persons
29 engaged in merchant's business, the permanent address and
30 Illinois Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the
31 merchant, the dates and location of the event and other
32 reasonable information that the Department may require. The
33 report must be filed not later than the 20th day of the month
34 next following the month during which the event with retail
35 sales was held. Any person who fails to file a report
-64- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 required by this Section commits a business offense and is
2 subject to a fine not to exceed $250.
3 Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible
4 personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
5 of seller at the Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art
6 shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
7 transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
8 Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report
9 of the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a
10 daily payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department
11 shall impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
12 significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
13 exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on
14 evidence that a substantial number of concessionaires or
15 other sellers who are not residents of Illinois will be
16 engaging in the business of selling tangible personal
17 property at retail at the exhibition or event, or other
18 evidence of a significant risk of loss of revenue to the
19 State. The Department shall notify concessionaires and other
20 sellers affected by the imposition of this requirement. In
21 the absence of notification by the Department, the
22 concessionaires and other sellers shall file their returns as
23 otherwise required in this Section.

30 Sec. 8. Except as provided in Section 8a, all money
31 received by the Department under this Act, including payments
32 made to the Department by member jurisdictions participating
33 in the International Fuel Tax Agreement, shall be deposited
-65- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 in a special fund in the State treasury, to be known as the
2 "Motor Fuel Tax Fund", and shall be used as follows:
3 (a) 2 1/2 cents per gallon of the tax collected on
4 special fuel under paragraph (b) of Section 2 and Section 13a
5 of this Act shall be transferred to the State Construction
6 Account Fund in the State Treasury;
7 (b) $420,000 shall be transferred each month to the
8 State Boating Act Fund to be used by the Department of
9 Natural Resources for the purposes specified in Article X of
10 the Boat Registration and Safety Act;
11 (c) $2,250,000 $1,500,000 shall be transferred each
12 month to the Grade Crossing Protection Fund to be used as
13 follows: not less than $6,000,000 each fiscal year shall be
14 used for the construction or reconstruction of rail highway
15 grade separation structures; beginning with fiscal year 1997
16 and ending in fiscal year 1999, $1,500,000, and $750,000 in
17 fiscal year 2000 and each fiscal year thereafter shall be
18 transferred to the Transportation Regulatory Fund and shall
19 be accounted for as part of the rail carrier portion of such
20 funds and shall be used to pay the cost of administration of
21 the Illinois Commerce Commission's railroad safety program in
22 connection with its duties under subsection (3) of Section
23 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, with the remainder to
24 be used by the Department of Transportation upon order of the
25 Illinois Commerce Commission, to pay that part of the cost
26 apportioned by such Commission to the State to cover the
27 interest of the public in the use of highways, roads or
28 streets in the county highway system, township and district
29 road system or municipal street system as defined in the
30 Illinois Highway Code, as the same may from time to time be
31 amended, for separation of grades, for installation,
32 construction or reconstruction of crossing protection or
33 reconstruction, alteration, relocation including construction
34 or improvement of any existing highway necessary for access
35 to property or improvement of any grade crossing including
-66- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 the necessary highway approaches thereto of any railroad
2 across the highway or public road, as provided for in and in
3 accordance with Section 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle
4 Code. In entering orders for projects for which payments
5 from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund will be made, the
6 Commission shall account for expenditures authorized by the
7 orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For purposes
8 of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that the total
9 cost of the project is expended in the fiscal year in which
10 the order is entered, while a "cash basis" allocates the cost
11 of the project among fiscal years as expenditures are
12 actually made. To meet the requirements of this subsection,
13 the Illinois Commerce Commission shall develop annual and
14 5-year project plans of rail crossing capital improvements
15 that will be paid for with moneys from the Grade Crossing
16 Protection Fund. The annual project plan shall identify
17 projects for the succeeding fiscal year and the 5-year
18 project plan shall identify projects for the 5 directly
19 succeeding fiscal years. The Commission shall submit the
20 annual and 5-year project plans for this Fund to the
21 Governor, the President of the Senate, the Senate Minority
22 Leader, the Speaker of the Senate of Representatives, and the
23 Minority Leader of the Senate of Representatives on the first
24 Wednesday in April of each year;
25 (d) of the amount remaining after allocations provided
26 for in subsections (a), (b) and (c), a sufficient amount
27 shall be reserved to pay all of the following:
28 (1) the costs of the Department of Revenue in
29 administering this Act;
30 (2) the costs of the Department of Transportation
31 in performing its duties imposed by the Illinois Highway
32 Code for supervising the use of motor fuel tax funds
33 apportioned to municipalities, counties and road
34 districts;
35 (3) refunds provided for in Section 13 of this Act
-67- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 and under the terms of the International Fuel Tax
2 Agreement referenced in Section 14a;
3 (4) from October 1, 1985 until June 30, 1994, the
4 administration of the Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law,
5 which amount shall be certified monthly by the
6 Environmental Protection Agency to the State Comptroller
7 and shall promptly be transferred by the State
8 Comptroller and Treasurer from the Motor Fuel Tax Fund to
9 the Vehicle Inspection Fund, and beginning July 1, 1994,
10 and until December 31, 2000, one-twelfth of $25,000,000
11 each month for the administration of the Vehicle
12 Emissions Inspection Law of 1995, to be transferred by
13 the State Comptroller and Treasurer from the Motor Fuel
14 Tax Fund into the Vehicle Inspection Fund;
15 (5) amounts ordered paid by the Court of Claims;
16 and
17 (6) payment of motor fuel use taxes due to member
18 jurisdictions under the terms of the International Fuel
19 Tax Agreement. The Department shall certify these
20 amounts to the Comptroller by the 15th day of each month;
21 the Comptroller shall cause orders to be drawn for such
22 amounts, and the Treasurer shall administer those amounts
23 on or before the last day of each month;
24 (e) after allocations for the purposes set forth in
25 subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d), the remaining amount
26 shall be apportioned as follows:
27 (1) Until January 1, 2000, 58.4%, and beginning
28 January 1, 2000, 45.6% shall be deposited as follows:
29 (A) 37% into the State Construction Account
30 Fund, and
31 (B) 63% into the Road Fund, $1,250,000 of
32 which shall be reserved each month for the
33 Department of Transportation to be used in
34 accordance with the provisions of Sections 6-901
35 through 6-906 of the Illinois Highway Code;
-68- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 (2) Until January 1, 2000, 41.6%, and beginning
2 January 1, 2000, 54.4% shall be transferred to the
3 Department of Transportation to be distributed as
4 follows:
5 (A) 49.10% to the municipalities of the State,
6 (B) 16.74% to the counties of the State having
7 1,000,000 or more inhabitants,
8 (C) 18.27% to the counties of the State having
9 less than 1,000,000 inhabitants,
10 (D) 15.89% to the road districts of the State.
11 As soon as may be after the first day of each month the
12 Department of Transportation shall allot to each municipality
13 its share of the amount apportioned to the several
14 municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
15 of such municipalities as determined by the last preceding
16 municipal census if conducted by the Federal Government or
17 Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality
18 subsequent to the time of the last preceding census the
19 corporate authorities of such municipality may cause a census
20 to be taken of such annexed territory and the population so
21 ascertained for such territory shall be added to the
22 population of the municipality as determined by the last
23 preceding census for the purpose of determining the allotment
24 for that municipality. If the population of any municipality
25 was not determined by the last Federal census preceding any
26 apportionment, the apportionment to such municipality shall
27 be in accordance with any census taken by such municipality.
28 Any municipal census used in accordance with this Section
29 shall be certified to the Department of Transportation by the
30 clerk of such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be
31 subject to approval of the Department which may make such
32 corrections as it ascertains to be necessary.
33 As soon as may be after the first day of each month the
34 Department of Transportation shall allot to each county its
35 share of the amount apportioned to the several counties of
-69- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 the State as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
2 counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
3 proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees
4 received from the residents of such counties, respectively,
5 during the preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State
6 shall, on or before April 15 of each year, transmit to the
7 Department of Transportation a full and complete report
8 showing the amount of motor vehicle license fees received
9 from the residents of each county, respectively, during the
10 preceding calendar year. The Department of Transportation
11 shall, each month, use for allotment purposes the last such
12 report received from the Secretary of State.
13 As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
14 Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
15 counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
16 road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
17 several counties in the State in the proportion which the
18 total mileage of township or district roads in the respective
19 counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
20 district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
21 counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
22 allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
23 proportion which the total mileage of such township or
24 district roads in the respective road districts bears to the
25 total mileage of all such township or district roads in the
26 county. After July 1 of any year, no allocation shall be
27 made for any road district unless it levied a tax for road
28 and bridge purposes in an amount which will require the
29 extension of such tax against the taxable property in any
30 such road district at a rate of not less than either .08% of
31 the value thereof, based upon the assessment for the year
32 immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied
33 and as equalized by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage
34 County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile
35 of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
-70- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 whichever is less. If any road district has levied a special
2 tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602 and
3 6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied
4 in an amount which would require extension at a rate of not
5 less than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof,
6 as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
7 DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
8 mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
9 whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a
10 proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
11 road district for an allotment under this Section. If a
12 township has transferred to the road and bridge fund money
13 which, when added to the amount of any tax levy of the road
14 district would be the equivalent of a tax levy requiring
15 extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in DuPage County,
16 an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road
17 under the jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is
18 less, such transfer, together with any such tax levy, shall
19 be deemed a proper compliance with this Section and shall
20 qualify the road district for an allotment under this
21 Section.
22 In counties in which a property tax extension limitation
23 is imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law,
24 road districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel
25 tax allotment if, at the time the property tax extension
26 limitation was imposed, the road district was levying a road
27 and bridge tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor
28 fuel tax allotment and continues to levy the maximum
29 allowable amount after the imposition of the property tax
30 extension limitation. Any road district may in all
31 circumstances retain its entitlement to a motor fuel tax
32 allotment if it levied a road and bridge tax in an amount
33 that will require the extension of the tax against the
34 taxable property in the road district at a rate of not less
35 than 0.08% of the assessed value of the property, based upon
-71- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 the assessment for the year immediately preceding the year in
2 which the tax was levied and as equalized by the Department
3 of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or
4 greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction
5 of the road district, whichever is less.
6 As used in this Section the term "road district" means
7 any road district, including a county unit road district,
8 provided for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term
9 "township or district road" means any road in the township
10 and district road system as defined in the Illinois Highway
11 Code. For the purposes of this Section, "road district" also
12 includes park districts, forest preserve districts and
13 conservation districts organized under Illinois law and
14 "township or district road" also includes such roads as are

23 county may invest these funds until their use is required and
24 the interest earned by these investments shall be limited to
25 the same uses as the principal funds.

31 amended by changing Sections 4.04, 4.09, 4.12, and 4.13 as
32 follows:
33 (70 ILCS 3615/4.04) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 704.04)
-72- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 Sec. 4.04. Issuance and Pledge of Bonds and Notes.
2 (a) The Authority shall have the continuing power to
3 borrow money and to issue its negotiable bonds or notes as
4 provided in this Section. Unless otherwise indicated in this
5 Section, the term "notes" also includes bond anticipation
6 notes, which are notes which by their terms provide for their
7 payment from the proceeds of bonds thereafter to be issued.
8 Bonds or notes of the Authority may be issued for any or all
9 of the following purposes: to pay costs to the Authority or a
10 Service Board of constructing or acquiring any public
11 transportation facilities (including funds and rights
12 relating thereto, as provided in Section 2.05 of this Act);
13 to repay advances to the Authority or a Service Board made
14 for such purposes; to pay other expenses of the Authority or
15 a Service Board incident to or incurred in connection with
16 such construction or acquisition; to provide funds for any
17 transportation agency to pay principal of or interest or
18 redemption premium on any bonds or notes, whether as such
19 amounts become due or by earlier redemption, issued prior to
20 the date of this amendatory Act by such transportation agency
21 to construct or acquire public transportation facilities or
22 to provide funds to purchase such bonds or notes; and to
23 provide funds for any transportation agency to construct or
24 acquire any public transportation facilities, to repay
25 advances made for such purposes, and to pay other expenses
26 incident to or incurred in connection with such construction
27 or acquisition; and to provide funds for payment of
28 obligations, including the funding of reserves, under any
29 self-insurance plan or joint self-insurance pool or entity.
30 In addition to any other borrowing as may be authorized
31 by this Section, the Authority may issue its notes, from time
32 to time, in anticipation of tax receipts of the Authority or
33 of other revenues or receipts of the Authority, in order to
34 provide money for the Authority or the Service Boards to
35 cover any cash flow deficit which the Authority or a Service
-73- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 Board anticipates incurring. Any such notes are referred to
2 in this Section as "Working Cash Notes". No Working Cash
3 Notes shall be issued for a term of longer than 18 months.
4 Proceeds of Working Cash Notes may be used to pay day to day
5 operating expenses of the Authority or the Service Boards,
6 consisting of wages, salaries and fringe benefits,
7 professional and technical services (including legal, audit,
8 engineering and other consulting services), office rental,
9 furniture, fixtures and equipment, insurance premiums, claims
10 for self-insured amounts under insurance policies, public
11 utility obligations for telephone, light, heat and similar
12 items, travel expenses, office supplies, postage, dues,
13 subscriptions, public hearings and information expenses, fuel
14 purchases, and payments of grants and payments under purchase
15 of service agreements for operations of transportation
16 agencies, prior to the receipt by the Authority or a Service
17 Board from time to time of funds for paying such expenses.
18 In addition to any Working Cash Notes that the Board of the
19 Authority may determine to issue, the Suburban Bus Board, the
20 Commuter Rail Board or the Board of the Chicago Transit
21 Authority may demand and direct that the Authority issue its
22 Working Cash Notes in such amounts and having such maturities
23 as the Service Board may determine.
24 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, any
25 amounts necessary to pay principal of and interest on any
26 Working Cash Notes issued at the demand and direction of a
27 Service Board or any Working Cash Notes the proceeds of which
28 were used for the direct benefit of a Service Board or any
29 other Bonds or Notes of the Authority the proceeds of which
30 were used for the direct benefit of a Service Board shall
31 constitute a reduction of the amount of the proceeds of any
32 tax imposed by the Authority under Sections 4.03 and 4.03.1
33 or any other funds provided by the Authority to that a
34 Service Board. The Authority shall, after deducting any
35 costs of issuance, tender the net proceeds of any Working
-74- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 Cash Notes issued at the demand and direction of a Service
2 Board to such Service Board as soon as may be practicable
3 after the proceeds are received. The Authority may also
4 issue notes or bonds to pay, refund or redeem any of its
5 notes and bonds, including to pay redemption premiums or
6 accrued interest on such bonds or notes being renewed, paid
7 or refunded, and other costs in connection therewith. The
8 Authority may also utilize the proceeds of any such bonds or
9 notes to pay the legal, financial, administrative and other
10 expenses of such authorization, issuance, sale or delivery of
11 bonds or notes or to provide or increase a debt service
12 reserve fund with respect to any or all of its bonds or
13 notes. The Authority may also issue and deliver its bonds or
14 notes in exchange for any public transportation facilities,
15 (including funds and rights relating thereto, as provided in
16 Section 2.05 of this Act) or in exchange for outstanding
17 bonds or notes of the Authority, including any accrued
18 interest or redemption premium thereon, without advertising
19 or submitting such notes or bonds for public bidding.
20 (b) The ordinance providing for the issuance of any such
21 bonds or notes shall fix the date or dates of maturity, the
22 dates on which interest is payable, any sinking fund account
23 or reserve fund account provisions and all other details of
24 such bonds or notes and may provide for such covenants or
25 agreements necessary or desirable with regard to the issue,
26 sale and security of such bonds or notes. The rate or rates
27 of interest on its bonds or notes may be fixed or variable
28 and the Authority shall determine or provide for the
29 determination of the rate or rates of interest of its bonds
30 or notes issued under this Act in an ordinance adopted by the
31 Authority prior to the issuance thereof, none of which rates
32 of interest shall exceed that permitted in the Bond
33 Authorization Act "An Act to authorize public corporations to
34 issue bonds, other evidences of indebtedness and tax
35 anticipation warrants subject to interest rate limitations
-75- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 set forth therein", approved May 26, 1970, as now or
2 hereafter amended. Interest may be payable annually or
3 semi-annually, or at such other times as are provided for by
4 the Board. Bonds and notes issued under this Section may be
5 issued as serial or term obligations, shall be of such
6 denomination or denominations and form, including interest
7 coupons to be attached thereto, be executed in such manner,
8 shall be payable at such place or places and bear such date
9 as the Authority shall fix by the ordinance authorizing such
10 bond or note and shall mature at such time or times, within a
11 period not to exceed forty years from the date of issue, and
12 may be redeemable prior to maturity with or without premium,
13 at the option of the Authority, upon such terms and
14 conditions as the Authority shall fix by the ordinance
15 authorizing the issuance of such bonds or notes. No bond
16 anticipation note or any renewal thereof shall mature at any
17 time or times exceeding 5 years from the date of the first
18 issuance of such note. The Authority may provide for the
19 registration of bonds or notes in the name of the owner as to
20 the principal alone or as to both principal and interest,
21 upon such terms and conditions as the Authority may
22 determine. The ordinance authorizing bonds or notes may
23 provide for the exchange of such bonds or notes which are
24 fully registered, as to both principal and interest, with
25 bonds or notes which are registerable as to principal only.
26 All bonds or notes issued under this Section by the Authority
27 other than those issued in exchange for property or for bonds
28 or notes of the Authority shall be sold at a price which may
29 be at a premium or discount but such that the interest cost
30 (excluding any redemption premium) to the Authority of the
31 proceeds of an issue of such bonds or notes, computed to
32 stated maturity according to standard tables of bond values,
33 shall not exceed that permitted in the Bond Authorization Act
34 "An Act to authorize public corporations to issue bonds,
35 other evidences of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants
-76- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 subject to interest rate limitations set forth therein",
2 approved May 26, 1970, as now or hereafter amended. Such
3 bonds or notes shall be sold at such time or times and, until
4 January 1, 1995, in such manner as the Authority shall
5 determine. The Authority shall notify the Bureau of the
6 Budget and the State Comptroller at least 30 days before any
7 bond sale and shall file with the Bureau of the Budget and
8 the State Comptroller a certified copy of any ordinance
9 authorizing the issuance of bonds at or before the issuance
10 of the bonds. After December 31, 1994, any such bonds or
11 notes shall be sold to the highest and best bidder on sealed
12 bids as the Authority shall deem. As such bonds or notes are
13 to be sold the Authority shall advertise for proposals to
14 purchase the bonds or notes which advertisement shall be
15 published at least once in a daily newspaper of general
16 circulation published in the metropolitan region at least 10
17 days before the time set for the submission of bids. The
18 Authority shall have the right to reject any or all bids.
19 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, Working
20 Cash Notes or bonds or notes to provide funds for
21 self-insurance or a joint self-insurance pool or entity may
22 be sold either upon competitive bidding or by negotiated sale
23 (without any requirement of publication of intention to
24 negotiate the sale of such Notes), as the Board shall
25 determine by ordinance adopted with the affirmative votes of
26 at least 7 Directors. In case any officer whose signature
27 appears on any bonds, notes or coupons authorized pursuant to
28 this Section shall cease to be such officer before delivery
29 of such bonds or notes, such signature shall nevertheless be
30 valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such
31 officer had remained in office until such delivery. Neither
32 the Directors of the Authority nor any person executing any
33 bonds or notes thereof shall be liable personally on any such
34 bonds or notes or coupons by reason of the issuance thereof.
35 (c) All bonds or notes of the Authority issued pursuant
-77- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 to this Section shall be general obligations of the Authority
2 to which shall be pledged the full faith and credit of the
3 Authority, as provided in this Section. Such bonds or notes
4 shall be secured as provided in the authorizing ordinance,
5 which may, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act,
6 include in addition to any other security, a specific pledge
7 or assignment of and lien on or security interest in any or
8 all tax receipts of the Authority and on any or all other
9 revenues or moneys of the Authority from whatever source,
10 which may by law be utilized for debt service purposes and a
11 specific pledge or assignment of and lien on or security
12 interest in any funds or accounts established or provided for
13 by the ordinance of the Authority authorizing the issuance of
14 such bonds or notes. Any such pledge, assignment, lien or
15 security interest for the benefit of holders of bonds or
16 notes of the Authority shall be valid and binding from the
17 time the bonds or notes are issued without any physical
18 delivery or further act, and shall be valid and binding as
19 against and prior to the claims of all other parties having
20 claims of any kind against the Authority or any other person
21 irrespective of whether such other parties have notice of
22 such pledge, assignment, lien or security interest. The
23 obligations of the Authority incurred pursuant to this
24 Section shall be superior to and have priority over any other
25 obligations of the Authority.
26 The Authority may provide in the ordinance authorizing
27 the issuance of any bonds or notes issued pursuant to this
28 Section for the creation of, deposits in, and regulation and
29 disposition of sinking fund or reserve accounts relating to
30 such bonds or notes. The ordinance authorizing the issuance
31 of any bonds or notes pursuant to this Section may contain
32 provisions as part of the contract with the holders of the
33 bonds or notes, for the creation of a separate fund to
34 provide for the payment of principal and interest on such
35 bonds or notes and for the deposit in such fund from any or
-78- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 all the tax receipts of the Authority and from any or all
2 such other moneys or revenues of the Authority from whatever
3 source which may by law be utilized for debt service
4 purposes, all as provided in such ordinance, of amounts to
5 meet the debt service requirements on such bonds or notes,
6 including principal and interest, and any sinking fund or
7 reserve fund account requirements as may be provided by such
8 ordinance, and all expenses incident to or in connection with
9 such fund and accounts or the payment of such bonds or notes.
10 Such ordinance may also provide limitations on the issuance
11 of additional bonds or notes of the Authority. No such bonds
12 or notes of the Authority shall constitute a debt of the
13 State of Illinois. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to
14 enable the Authority to impose any ad valorem tax on
15 property.
16 (d) The ordinance of the Authority authorizing the
17 issuance of any bonds or notes may provide additional
18 security for such bonds or notes by providing for appointment
19 of a corporate trustee (which may be any trust company or
20 bank having the powers of a trust company within the state)
21 with respect to such bonds or notes. The ordinance shall
22 prescribe the rights, duties and powers of the trustee to be
23 exercised for the benefit of the Authority and the protection
24 of the holders of such bonds or notes. The ordinance may
25 provide for the trustee to hold in trust, invest and use
26 amounts in funds and accounts created as provided by the
27 ordinance with respect to the bonds or notes. The ordinance
28 may provide for the assignment and direct payment to the
29 trustee of any or all amounts produced from the sources
30 provided in Section 4.03 of this Act and provided in Section
31 6z-17 of "An Act in relation to State finance", approved June
32 10, 1919, as amended. Upon receipt of notice of any such
33 assignment, the Department of Revenue and the Comptroller of
34 the State of Illinois shall thereafter, notwithstanding the
35 provisions of Section 4.03 of this Act and Section 6z-17 of
-79- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 "An Act in relation to State finance", approved June 10,
2 1919, as amended, provide for such assigned amounts to be
3 paid directly to the trustee instead of the Authority, all in
4 accordance with the terms of the ordinance making the
5 assignment. The ordinance shall provide that amounts so paid
6 to the trustee which are not required to be deposited, held
7 or invested in funds and accounts created by the ordinance
8 with respect to bonds or notes or used for paying bonds or
9 notes to be paid by the trustee to the Authority.
10 (e) Any bonds or notes of the Authority issued pursuant
11 to this Section shall constitute a contract between the
12 Authority and the holders from time to time of such bonds or
13 notes. In issuing any bond or note, the Authority may include
14 in the ordinance authorizing such issue a covenant as part of
15 the contract with the holders of the bonds or notes, that as
16 long as such obligations are outstanding, it shall make such
17 deposits, as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section. It
18 may also so covenant that it shall impose and continue to
19 impose taxes, as provided in Section 4.03 of this Act and in
20 addition thereto as subsequently authorized by law,
21 sufficient to make such deposits and pay the principal and
22 interest and to meet other debt service requirements of such
23 bonds or notes as they become due. A certified copy of the
24 ordinance authorizing the issuance of any such obligations
25 shall be filed at or prior to the issuance of such
26 obligations with the Comptroller of the State of Illinois and
27 the Illinois Department of Revenue.
28 (f) The State of Illinois pledges to and agrees with the
29 holders of the bonds and notes of the Authority issued
30 pursuant to this Section that the State will not limit or
31 alter the rights and powers vested in the Authority by this
32 Act so as to impair the terms of any contract made by the
33 Authority with such holders or in any way impair the rights
34 and remedies of such holders until such bonds and notes,
35 together with interest thereon, with interest on any unpaid
-80- LRB9106061EGfgccr5
1 installments of interest, and all costs and expenses in
2 connection with any action or proceedings by or on behalf of
3 such holders, are fully met and discharged. In addition, the
4 State pledges to and agrees with the holders of the bonds and
5 notes of the Authority issued pursuant to this Section that
6 the State will not limit or alter the basis on which State
7 funds are to be paid to the Authority as provided in this
8 Act, or the use of such funds, so as to impair the terms of
9 any such contract. The Authority is authorized to include
10 these pledges and agreements of the State in any contract
11 with the holders of bonds or notes issued pursuant to this
12 Section.
13 (g)(1) Except as provided in subdivisions (g)(2) and
14 (g)(3) of Section 4.04 of this Act, the Authority shall not
15 at any time issue, sell or deliver any bonds or notes (other
16 than Working Cash Notes) pursuant to this Section 4.04 which
17 will cause it to have issued and outstanding at any time in
18 excess of $800,000,000 $500,000,000 of such bonds and notes
19 (other than Working Cash Notes). The Authority shall not at
20 any time issue, sell or deliver any Working Cash Notes
21 pursuant to this Section which will cause it to have issued
22 and outstanding at any time in excess of $100,000,000 of
23 Working Cash Notes. Bonds or notes which are being paid or
24 retired by such issuance, sale or delivery of bonds or notes,
25 and bonds or notes for which sufficient funds have been
26 deposited with the paying agency of such bonds or notes to
27 provide for payment of principal and interest thereon or to
28 provide for the redemption thereof, all pursuant to the
29 ordinance authorizing the issuance of such bonds or notes,
30 shall not be considered to be outstanding for the purposes of
31 the first two sentences of this subsection.
32 (2) In addition to the authority provided by paragraphs
33 paragraph (1) and (3), the Authority is authorized to issue,
34 sell and deliver bonds or notes for Strategic Capital

20 or note shall mature later than the final maturity date of
21 the series of bonds or notes being refunded, and provided
22 further that the debt service requirements for such refunding
23 bonds or notes in the current or any future fiscal year shall
