 1                     AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 46

 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill  46  by  replacing
 3    everything after the enacting clause with the following:

 4        "Section  5.   If  and  only if both Senate Bill 1212 and
 5    House Bill 46 of the 93rd General Assembly become  law,  then
 6    the  Use  Tax  Act is amended by changing Section 3-10 and by
 7    adding  Sections  3-41,  3-42,  3-43,  3-44,  and  3-44.5  as
 8    follows:

 9        (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
10        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
11    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
12    6.25% of either the selling price or the fair  market  value,
13    if  any,  of  the  tangible  personal property.  In all cases
14    where property functionally used or consumed is the  same  as
15    the  property  that  was purchased at retail, then the tax is
16    imposed on the selling price of the property.  In  all  cases
17    where  property functionally used or consumed is a by-product
18    or waste product that  has  been  refined,  manufactured,  or
19    produced  from  property purchased at retail, then the tax is
20    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
21    specific property so used in this State  or  on  the  selling
22    price  of  the  property purchased at retail. For purposes of
 
                            -2-      LRB093 02617 SJM 16550 a
 1    this Section "fair market value" means  the  price  at  which
 2    property  would  change  hands  between a willing buyer and a
 3    willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy  or
 4    sell  and  both  having  reasonable knowledge of the relevant
 5    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
 6    sales  by  the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property   as   that
 7    functionally  used or consumed, or if there are no such sales
 8    by the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases  of
 9    property of like kind and character in Illinois.

19    of  sales  made thereafter. If, at any time, however, the tax
20    under this Act on sales of gasohol is imposed at the rate  of

 3    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside

 7    reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
 8    out-of-state use.

 6        Section  10.   If  and  only if both Senate Bill 1212 and
 7    House Bill 46 of the 93rd General Assembly become  law,  then
 8    the  Service  Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section 3-10

11        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in

13    6.25% of the selling  price  of  tangible  personal  property
14    transferred  as  an incident to the sale of service, but, for
15    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
16    selling  price be less than the cost price of the property to

20    6.25%  of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of the
21    Service Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.   For
22    the  purpose  of  computing  this  tax, in no event shall the
23    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
24    of the tangible personal property transferred.   The  selling
25    price  of each item of tangible personal property transferred
26    as an incident of a  sale  of  service  may  be  shown  as  a
27    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
28    service  customer.  If the selling price is not so shown, the
29    selling price of the tangible personal property is deemed  to
30    be  50%  of  the  serviceman's  entire billing to the service
31    customer.  When, however, a serviceman contracts  to  design,
32    develop,  and  produce  special order machinery or equipment,
