AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | ||||

follows:
| ||||
(65 ILCS 5/8-3-14) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-3-14)
| ||||
Sec. 8-3-14. Municipal hotel operators' occupation tax. | ||||
The corporate authorities of any municipality may impose a
tax | ||||
upon all persons engaged in such municipality in the business | ||||
of
renting, leasing or letting rooms in a hotel, as defined in | ||||
"The Hotel
Operators' Occupation Tax Act," at a rate not to | ||||
exceed 6% in the City of East Peoria and in the Village of | ||||
Morton and 5% in all other municipalities of the gross
rental | ||||
receipts from such renting, leasing or letting, excluding, | ||||
however,
from gross rental receipts, the proceeds of such | ||||
renting, leasing or
letting to permanent residents of that | ||||
hotel and proceeds from the tax
imposed under subsection (c) of | ||||
Section 13 of the Metropolitan Pier and
Exposition Authority | ||||
Act, and may provide for the administration and
enforcement of | ||||
the tax, and for the collection thereof from the persons
| ||||
subject to the tax, as the corporate authorities determine to | ||||
be necessary
or practicable for the effective administration of | ||||
the tax. The municipality may not impose a tax under this | ||
Section if it imposes a tax under Section 8-3-14a.
| ||
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to authority
| ||
granted by this Section may reimburse themselves for their tax
| ||
liability for such tax by separately stating such tax as an
| ||
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
| ||
in a single amount, with State tax imposed under "The Hotel
| ||
Operators' Occupation Tax Act".
| ||
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
| ||
municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
| ||
any business which under the constitution of the United States
| ||
may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||
The amounts collected by any municipality pursuant to this | ||
Section shall
be expended by the municipality solely to promote | ||
tourism and conventions
within that municipality or otherwise | ||
to attract nonresident overnight
visitors to the municipality.
| ||
No funds received pursuant to this Section shall be used to | ||
advertise for
or otherwise promote new competition in the hotel | ||
business.

(65 ILCS 5/8-3-14a new) | ||
Sec. 8-3-14a. Municipal hotel use tax. | ||
(a) The corporate authorities of any municipality may | ||
impose a
tax upon the privilege of renting or leasing rooms in | ||
a hotel within the municipality at a rate not to exceed 5% of | ||
the rental or lease payment. The corporate authorities may | ||
provide for the administration and
enforcement of the tax and | ||
for the collection thereof from the persons
subject to the tax, | ||
as the corporate authorities determine to be necessary
or | ||
practical for the effective administration of the tax. | ||
(b) Each hotel in the municipality shall collect the tax | ||
from the person making the rental or lease payment at the time | ||
that the payment is tendered to the hotel. The hotel shall, as | ||
trustee, remit the tax to the municipality. | ||
(c) The tax authorized under this Section does not apply to | ||
any rental or lease payment by a permanent resident of that | ||
hotel or to any payment made to any hotel that is subject to | ||
the tax
imposed under subsection (c) of Section 13 of the | ||
Metropolitan Pier and
Exposition Authority Act. A municipality | ||
may not impose a tax under this Section if it imposes a tax | ||
under Section 8-3-14. Nothing in this Section may be construed | ||
to authorize a
municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege | ||
of engaging in
any business that under the Constitution of the | ||
United States
may not be made the subject of taxation by this | ||
State. | ||
(d) The moneys collected by a municipality under this | ||
Section may
be expended solely to promote tourism and | ||
conventions
within that municipality or otherwise to attract | ||
nonresident overnight
visitors to the municipality. No moneys | ||
received under this Section may be used to advertise for
or | ||
otherwise promote new competition in the hotel business. | ||
(e) As used in this Section, "hotel" has the meaning set | ||
forth in Section 2 of the Hotel
Operators' Occupation Tax Act.
| ||
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||
becoming law.
