| 7 |
| Sec. 5-1006. Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax | 8 |
| Law. Any county that is a home rule unit may impose
a tax upon | 9 |
| all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
| 10 |

| property titled
or registered with an agency of this State's | 12 |
| government, at retail in the
county on the gross receipts from | 13 |
| such sales made in the course of
their business. If imposed, | 14 |
| this tax shall only
be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after | 15 |
| September 1, 1991, this
additional tax may not be imposed on | 16 |
| the sales of food for human
consumption which is to be consumed | 17 |
| off the premises where it is sold

| beverages, soft drinks and food which has been
prepared for | 19 |
| immediate consumption) and prescription and nonprescription
| 20 |
| medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine | 21 |
| testing materials,
syringes and needles used by diabetics. The | 22 |

| shall be collected and enforced by the
State Department of | 2 |
| Revenue. The certificate of registration that is
issued by the | 3 |
| Department to a retailer under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax | 4 |
| Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a
business that is | 5 |
| taxable under any ordinance or resolution
enacted pursuant to | 6 |
| this Section without registering separately with the
| 7 |
| Department under such ordinance or resolution or under this | 8 |
| Section. The
Department shall have full power to administer and | 9 |
| enforce this Section; to
collect all taxes and penalties due | 10 |
| hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
penalties so collected in | 11 |
| the manner hereinafter provided; and to
determine all rights to | 12 |
| credit memoranda arising on account of the
erroneous payment of | 13 |
| tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
and | 14 |
| compliance with, this Section, the Department and persons who | 15 |
| are
subject to this Section shall have the same rights, | 16 |
| remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers and duties, and be | 17 |
| subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, | 18 |
| penalties and definitions of terms, and employ
the same modes | 19 |
| of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d,
| 20 |
| 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to all | 21 |

| 1 |
| this Section exceeds 0.75% on the effective date of this | 2 |
| amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, then the voters of | 3 |
| the county may file a petition with the county board not more | 4 |
| than 180 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act | 5 |
| of the 95th General Assembly requesting that the question of | 6 |
| whether to reduce the rate of the tax to 0.75% be submitted to | 7 |
| the voters of the county at the next general election. The | 8 |
| petition must be signed by a number of voters equal to at least | 9 |
| 8% of the votes cast in the county during the last | 10 |
| gubernatorial election. If such a petition is presented to the | 11 |
| county board not more than 180 days after the effective date of | 12 |
| this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, then the | 13 |
| board must certify the question to the proper election | 14 |
| officials, who must submit the question at the next general | 15 |
| election in accordance with the Election Code. The question | 16 |
| must be in substantially the following form: | 17 |
| "Shall the rate of a retailers' occupation tax imposed | 18 |
| by (county) be reduced to 0.75%?" | 19 |
| Votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No". If a majority of | 20 |
| votes cast on the proposition are in favor of the reduction, | 21 |
| then the tax rate shall be reduced to 0.75% beginning on the | 22 |
| first day of the first month to occur not less than 30 calendar | 23 |
| days after the question is submitted to the voters. | 24 |
| Any subsequent increase in the rate of a tax imposed under | 25 |
| this Section shall take effect unless a petition is filed with | 26 |
| the county board not more than 180 days after the ordinance or |

|
| 1 |
| resolution increasing the tax is adopted. The petition must be | 2 |
| signed by a number of voters equal to at least 8% of the votes | 3 |
| cast in the county during the last gubernatorial election. If a | 4 |
| petition is not presented to the county board within 180 days | 5 |
| after the ordinance or resolution is adopted, then the increase | 6 |
| shall take effect on the first day of the first month to occur | 7 |
| not less than 30 calendar days after the 180-day time period | 8 |
| has expired or at a later date if a later date is provided in | 9 |
| the ordinance or resolution imposing the tax. If a petition is | 10 |
| presented to the county board within 180 days after the | 11 |
| effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General | 12 |
| Assembly, then the board must certify the question to the | 13 |
| proper election officials, who must submit the question at the | 14 |
| next general election in accordance with the Election Code. The | 15 |
| question must be in substantially the following form: | 16 |
| "Shall the rate of a retailers' occupation tax imposed | 17 |
| by (county) be increased to (percent)?" | 18 |
| Votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No". If a majority of | 19 |
| votes cast on the proposition are in favor of the increase, | 20 |
| then the increase shall take effect on the first day of the | 21 |
| first month to occur not less than 30 calendar days after the | 22 |
| question is submitted to the voters. | 23 |
| A home rule unit may not impose retailers' occupation taxes | 24 |
| in a manner that is inconsistent with this Section. This | 25 |
| Section is a limitation of home rule powers and functions under | 26 |
| subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois |
|
|
|
HB6680 |
- 5 - |
LRB095 21867 HLH 52121 b |
|
| 1 |
| Constitution. | 2 |
| No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to | 3 |
| this Section
unless the county also imposes a tax at the same | 4 |
| rate pursuant
to Section 5-1007.
| 5 |
| Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the | 6 |
| authority granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for | 7 |
| their seller's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating | 8 |
| such tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be stated in | 9 |
| combination, in a single amount,
with State tax which sellers | 10 |
| are required to collect under the Use Tax
Act, pursuant to such | 11 |
| bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
| 12 |
| Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | 13 |
| made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | 14 |
| credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | 15 |
| Comptroller, who shall cause the
order to be drawn for the | 16 |
| amount specified and to the person named
in the notification | 17 |
| from the Department. The
refund shall be paid by the State | 18 |
| Treasurer out of the home rule county
retailers' occupation tax | 19 |
| fund.
| 20 |
| The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | 21 |
| Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties | 22 |
| collected hereunder. On or
before the 25th day of each calendar | 23 |
| month, the Department shall
prepare and certify to the | 24 |
| Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums
of money to named | 25 |
| counties, the counties to be those from which retailers
have | 26 |
| paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the |
|
|
|
HB6680 |
- 6 - |
LRB095 21867 HLH 52121 b |
|
| 1 |
| second
preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each | 2 |
| county shall be
the amount (not including credit memoranda) | 3 |
| collected hereunder during the
second preceding calendar month | 4 |
| by the Department plus an amount the
Department determines is | 5 |
| necessary to offset any amounts that
were erroneously paid to a | 6 |
| different taxing body, and not including an
amount equal to the | 7 |
| amount of refunds made during the second preceding
calendar | 8 |
| month by the Department on behalf of such county, and not
| 9 |
| including any amount which the Department determines is | 10 |
| necessary to offset
any amounts which were payable to a | 11 |
| different taxing body but were
erroneously paid to the county. | 12 |
| Within 10 days after receipt, by the
Comptroller, of the | 13 |
| disbursement certification to the counties provided for
in this | 14 |
| Section to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the
| 15 |
| Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the | 16 |
| respective amounts
in accordance with the directions contained | 17 |
| in the certification.
| 18 |
| In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding | 19 |
| paragraph,
an allocation shall be made in March of each year to | 20 |
| each county that
received more than $500,000 in disbursements | 21 |
| under the preceding
paragraph in the preceding calendar year. | 22 |
| The allocation shall be in an
amount equal to the average | 23 |
| monthly distribution made to each such county
under the | 24 |
| preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar year | 25 |
| (excluding
the 2 months of highest receipts). The distribution | 26 |
| made in March of each
year subsequent to the year in which an |
|
|
|
HB6680 |
- 7 - |
LRB095 21867 HLH 52121 b |
|
| 1 |
| allocation was made pursuant to
this paragraph and the | 2 |
| preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount
allocated | 3 |
| and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding calendar
| 4 |
| year. The Department shall prepare and certify to the | 5 |
| Comptroller for
disbursement the allocations made in | 6 |
| accordance with this paragraph.
| 7 |
| For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit | 8 |
| whose tax
is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of coal or | 9 |
| other mineral
mined in Illinois is a sale at retail at the | 10 |
| place where the coal or
other mineral mined in Illinois is | 11 |
| extracted from the earth. This
paragraph does not apply to coal | 12 |
| or other mineral when it is delivered
or shipped by the seller | 13 |
| to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so
that the sale | 14 |
| is exempt under the United States
Constitution as a sale in | 15 |
| interstate or foreign commerce.
| 16 |
| Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
| 17 |
| county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
| 18 |
| business which under the Constitution of the United States may | 19 |
| not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.
| 20 |
| An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax | 21 |
| hereunder or
effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be | 22 |
| adopted and a certified
copy thereof filed with the Department | 23 |
| on or before the first day of June,
whereupon the Department | 24 |
| shall proceed to administer and enforce this
Section as of the | 25 |
| first day of September next following such adoption
and filing. | 26 |

thereof shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof | 3 |
| filed with the
Department on or before the first day of July, | 4 |
| whereupon the Department
shall proceed to administer and | 5 |
| enforce this Section as of the first day of
October next | 6 |
| following such adoption and filing. Beginning January 1, 1993,
| 7 |
| an ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax | 8 |
| hereunder or
effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be | 9 |
| adopted and a certified
copy thereof filed with the Department | 10 |
| on or before the first day of
October, whereupon the Department | 11 |
| shall proceed to administer and enforce
this Section as of the | 12 |
| first day of January next following such adoption
and filing.
| 13 |
| Beginning April 1, 1998, an ordinance or
resolution imposing or
| 14 |
| discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a change in the | 15 |
| rate thereof shall
either (i) be adopted and a certified copy | 16 |
| thereof filed with the Department on
or
before the first day of | 17 |
| April, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
administer and | 18 |
| enforce this Section as of the first day of July next following
| 19 |

| day of October, whereupon the
Department shall proceed to | 22 |

day of | 23 |
| January next following the adoption and filing.
| 24 |
| When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a | 25 |
| county under
this Section, the Department shall increase or | 26 |
| decrease such amount by an
amount necessary to offset any |

| Sec. 5-1007. Home Rule County Service Occupation Tax Law. | 9 |
| The corporate
authorities of a home rule county may impose a | 10 |
| tax upon all persons
engaged, in such county, in the business | 11 |
| of making sales of service at the
same rate of tax imposed | 12 |
| pursuant to Section 5-1006 of the selling price of
all tangible | 13 |
| personal property transferred by such servicemen either in the
| 14 |
| form of tangible personal property or in the form of real | 15 |
| estate as an
incident to a sale of service. If imposed, such | 16 |
| tax shall only be imposed
in 1/4% increments. On and after | 17 |
| September 1, 1991, this additional tax may
not be imposed on | 18 |
| the sales of food for human consumption which is to be
consumed | 19 |
| off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic | 20 |
| beverages,
soft drinks and food which has been prepared for | 21 |
| immediate consumption) and
prescription and nonprescription | 22 |
| medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
insulin, urine | 23 |
| testing materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.
The | 24 |

collected and enforced by the State Department of | 2 |
| Revenue. The certificate
of registration which is issued by the | 3 |
| Department to a retailer under the
Retailers' Occupation Tax | 4 |
| Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act shall
permit such | 5 |
| registrant to engage in a business which is taxable under any
| 6 |
| ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section | 7 |
| without
registering separately with the Department under such | 8 |
| ordinance or
resolution or under this Section. The Department | 9 |
| shall have full power
to administer and enforce this Section; | 10 |
| to collect all taxes and
penalties due hereunder; to dispose of | 11 |
| taxes and penalties so collected
in the manner hereinafter | 12 |
| provided; and to determine all rights to
credit memoranda | 13 |
| arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or
penalty | 14 |
| hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
| 15 |
| Section the Department and persons who are subject to this | 16 |
| Section
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | 17 |
| immunities, powers and
duties, and be subject to the same | 18 |
| conditions, restrictions,
limitations, penalties and | 19 |
| definitions of terms, and employ the same
modes of procedure, | 20 |
| as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3 through
3-50 (in | 21 |
| respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate of
| 22 |
| tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to the | 23 |
| taxing
county), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which | 24 |
| the tax shall be a
debt to the extent indicated in that Section | 25 |
| 8 shall be the taxing county),

| 3 |
| Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except | 4 |
| that any
reference to the State shall mean the taxing county), | 5 |
| the first paragraph
of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the | 6 |
| Service Occupation Tax
Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform | 7 |
| Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if
those provisions were | 8 |
| set forth herein.
| 9 |
| If the rate of a service occupation tax imposed under this | 10 |
| Section exceeds 0.75% on the effective date of this amendatory | 11 |
| Act of the 95th General Assembly, then the voters of the county | 12 |
| may file a petition with the county board not more than 180 | 13 |
| days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | 14 |
| 95th General Assembly requesting that the question of whether | 15 |
| to reduce the rate of the tax to 0.75% be submitted to the | 16 |
| voters of the county at the next general election. The petition | 17 |
| must be signed by a number of voters equal to at least 8% of the | 18 |
| votes cast in the county during the last gubernatorial | 19 |
| election. If such a petition is presented to the county board | 20 |
| not more than 180 days after the effective date of this | 21 |
| amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, then the board | 22 |
| must certify the question to the proper election officials, who | 23 |
| must submit the question at the next general election in | 24 |
| accordance with the Election Code. The question must be in | 25 |
| substantially the following form: | 26 |
| "Shall the rate of a service occupation tax imposed by |
|
|
|
HB6680 |
- 12 - |
LRB095 21867 HLH 52121 b |
|
| 1 |
| (county) be reduced to 0.75%?" | 2 |
| Votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No". If a majority of | 3 |
| votes cast on the proposition are in favor of the reduction, | 4 |
| then the tax rate shall be reduced to 0.75% on the first day of | 5 |
| the first month to occur not less than 30 calendar days after | 6 |
| the question is submitted to the voters. | 7 |
| Any subsequent increase in the rate of a tax imposed under | 8 |
| this Section shall take effect unless a petition is filed with | 9 |
| the county board not more than 180 days after the ordinance or | 10 |
| resolution increasing the tax is adopted. The petition must be | 11 |
| signed by a number of voters equal to at least 8% of the votes | 12 |
| cast in the county during the last gubernatorial election. If a | 13 |
| petition is not presented to the county board within 180 days | 14 |
| after the ordinance or resolution is adopted, then the increase | 15 |
| shall take effect on the first day of the first month to occur | 16 |
| not less than 30 calendar days after the 180-day time period | 17 |
| has expired or at a later date if a later date is provided in | 18 |
| the ordinance or resolution imposing the tax. If a petition is | 19 |
| presented to the county board within 180 days after the | 20 |
| effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General | 21 |
| Assembly, then the board must certify the question to the | 22 |
| proper election officials, who must submit the question at the | 23 |
| next general election in accordance with the Election Code. The | 24 |
| question must be in substantially the following form: | 25 |
| "Shall the rate of a service occupation tax imposed by | 26 |
| (county) be increased to (percent)?" |

| Votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No". If a majority of | 2 |
| votes cast on the proposition are in favor of the increase, | 3 |
| then the increase shall take effect on the first day of the | 4 |
| first month to occur not less than 30 calendar days after the | 5 |
| question is submitted to the voters. | 6 |
| A home rule unit may not impose service occupation taxes in | 7 |
| a manner that is inconsistent with this Section. This Section | 8 |
| is a limitation of home rule powers and functions under | 9 |
| subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois | 10 |
| Constitution. | 11 |
| No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to | 12 |
| this Section
unless such county also imposes a tax at the same | 13 |
| rate pursuant to Section
5-1006.
| 14 |
| Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the | 15 |
| authority granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for | 16 |
| their serviceman's tax
liability hereunder by separately | 17 |
| stating such tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be | 18 |
| stated in combination, in a single amount,
with State tax which | 19 |
| servicemen are authorized to collect under the
Service Use Tax | 20 |
| Act, pursuant to such bracket schedules as the
Department may | 21 |
| prescribe.
| 22 |
| Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | 23 |
| made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing credit | 24 |
| memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State Comptroller, | 25 |
| who shall cause the
order to be drawn for the amount specified, | 26 |
| and to the person named,
in such notification from the |
|
|
|

|
| 1 |
| Department. Such refund shall be paid by
the State Treasurer | 2 |
| out of the home rule county retailers' occupation tax fund.
