| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|

| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Simplified Municipal Telecommunications Tax |

| (35 ILCS 636/5-5)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 5-5. Legislative intent. The
The General Assembly has |
| 8 |
| authorized the
corporate
authorities of any municipality to |
| 9 |
| impose various fees and taxes on
the privilege of originating |
| 10 |
| or receiving telecommunications, and on
retailers engaged in |
| 11 |
| the business of transmitting such
telecommunications, all of |
| 12 |
| which are remitted by such retailers
directly to the imposing |
| 13 |
| municipality.
To simplify the imposition and collection of |
| 14 |
| municipal
telecommunications taxes and to reduce complication |
| 15 |
| and burden,
the General Assembly is repealing
the municipal |
| 16 |
| telecommunications
tax, the municipal tax on the occupation or |
| 17 |
| privilege of transmitting
messages, and the municipal |
| 18 |
| infrastructure maintenance fee, and is enacting
this |
| 19 |
| Simplified
Municipal Telecommunications Tax Act which
provides |
| 20 |
| for a single municipally imposed telecommunications tax
which, |
| 21 |
| for municipalities with populations of less than 500,000, will
|
| 22 |
| be collected by the Illinois Department of Revenue, but which, |
| 23 |
| for
municipalities of 500,000 or
more, will continue to be |
| 24 |
| collected by such municipalities. |
