21        (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2020)
22        Sec. 65. Drycleaning solvent tax.
23        (a)  On and after January 1, 1998, a tax is imposed  upon
24    the  use  of  drycleaning  solvent by a person engaged in the
25    business of operating a drycleaning facility in this State at
26    the rate of $3.50 per gallon of  perchloroethylene  or  other
27    chlorinated   drycleaning   solvents   used   in  drycleaning
28    operations,  and  $0.35   per   gallon   of   petroleum-based
29    drycleaning  solvent, and $1.75 per gallon of green solvents,
30    unless the green solvent is used at  a  virgin  facility,  in
31    which  case  the  rate  is  $0.35  per  gallon.  On and after
32    January 1, 2004, no tax is imposed with respect to the use of
33    green solvents.  The Council shall determine  by  rule  which
 
                            -12-     LRB093 12632 AMC 17825 b
 1    products  are  chlorine-based  solvents,  which  products are
 2    petroleum-based  solvents,  and  which  products  are   green
 3    solvents.   All  drycleaning  solvents  shall  be  considered
 4    chlorinated  solvents  unless the Council determines that the
 5    solvents are petroleum-based drycleaning  solvents  or  green
 6    solvents.
 7        (b)  The  tax imposed by this Act shall be collected from
 8    the purchaser at the time of sale by a seller of  drycleaning
 9    solvents  maintaining  a  place of business in this State and
10    shall be remitted to the  Department  of  Revenue  under  the
11    provisions of this Act.
12        (c)  The tax imposed by this Act that is not collected by
13    a  seller  of  drycleaning solvents shall be paid directly to
14    the Department of Revenue by the purchaser or end user who is
15    subject to the tax imposed by this Act.
16        (d)  No tax shall be imposed upon the use of  drycleaning
17    solvent  if  the  drycleaning  solvent  will not be used in a
18    drycleaning facility or if a floor stock tax has been imposed
19    and paid on the drycleaning solvent.  Prior to  the  purchase
20    of  the  solvent,  the  purchaser shall provide a written and
21    signed certificate to the drycleaning solvent seller stating:
22             (1)  the name and address of the purchaser;
23             (2)  the purchaser's signature and date of  signing;
24        and
25             (3)  one of the following:
26                  (A)  that  the  drycleaning solvent will not be
27             used in a drycleaning facility; or
28                  (B)  that a floor stock tax  has  been  imposed
29             and paid on the drycleaning solvent.
30        A  person  who  provides a false certification under this
31    subsection shall be liable for a civil penalty not to  exceed
32    $500  for a first violation and a civil penalty not to exceed
33    $5,000 for a second or subsequent violation.
34        (e)  On  January  1,  1998,  there  is  imposed  on  each
 
                            -13-     LRB093 12632 AMC 17825 b
 1    operator of a  drycleaning  facility  a  tax  on  drycleaning
 2    solvent  held  by  the  operator  on  that  date for use in a
 3    drycleaning facility. The tax imposed shall be the  tax  that
 4    would  have  been  imposed  under    subsection  (a)  if  the
 5    drycleaning  solvent  held  by  the operator on that date had
 6    been purchased by the operator during the first year of  this
 7    Act.
 8        (f)  On or before the 25th day of the 1st month following
 9    the  end  of  the  calendar  quarter, a seller of drycleaning
10    solvents who has collected a tax  pursuant  to  this  Section
11    during  the  previous calendar quarter, or a purchaser or end
12    user of drycleaning solvents required under subsection (c) to
13    submit the tax directly  to  the  Department,  shall  file  a
14    return  with  the Department of Revenue.  The return shall be
15    filed on a form prescribed by the Department of  Revenue  and
16    shall  contain  information  that  the  Department of Revenue
17    reasonably requires,  but  at  a  minimum  will  require  the
18    reporting  of  the volume of drycleaning solvent sold to each
19    licensed drycleaner. The Department of Revenue  shall  report
20    quarterly  to  the  Council the volume of drycleaning solvent
21    purchased for the quarter by each licensed drycleaner.   Each
22    seller of drycleaning solvent maintaining a place of business
23    in  this  State  who is required or authorized to collect the
24    tax imposed by this Act  shall  pay  to  the  Department  the
25    amount  of  the tax at the time when he or she is required to
26    file his or her return for the period during  which  the  tax
27    was  collected.   Purchasers  or  end users remitting the tax
28    directly to the Department under subsection (c) shall file  a
29    return  with  the  Department  of  Revenue and pay the tax so
30    incurred by the purchaser or end user  during  the  preceding
31    calendar quarter.
32        (g)  The  tax on drycleaning solvents used in drycleaning
33    facilities and the floor stock tax shall be  administered  by
34    Department of Revenue under rules adopted by that Department.
 
                            -14-     LRB093 12632 AMC 17825 b
 1        (h)  On  and  after  January  1,  1998,  no  person shall
 2    knowingly sell or transfer drycleaning solvent to an operator
 3    of a drycleaning facility that is not licensed by the Council
 4    under Section 60. A person who violates  this  subsection  is
 5    liable  for  a  civil  penalty not to exceed $500 for a first
 6    violation and a civil penalty not  to  exceed  $5,000  for  a
 7    second or subsequent violation.
 8        (i)  The   Department  of  Revenue  may  adopt  rules  as
 9    necessary to implement this Section.
