2     activity, as shown by gross receipts for the taxable year,

14 applying any amendments to this Act made by Public Act 93-0840,
15 Public Act 95-0233, or Public Act 95-0707.
16     (d) Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that

18 under the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to
19 make or promulgate rules to implement or enforce the provisions

21 however, the Governor believes that rules are necessary to
22 implement or enforce the provisions of this amendatory Act of

24 the General Assembly by filing them with the Clerk of the House
25 and the Secretary of the Senate and by requesting that the
