| 7 | | Sec. 5-1006.5. Special County Retailers' Occupation Tax
| 8 | | For Public Safety, Public Facilities, or Transportation. | 9 | | (a) The county board of any county may impose a
tax upon | 10 | | all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible | 11 | | personal
property, other than personal property titled or | 12 | | registered with an agency of
this State's government, at retail | 13 | | in the county on the gross receipts from the
sales made in the | 14 | | course of business to provide revenue to be used exclusively
| 15 | | for public safety, public facility, or transportation purposes | 16 | | in that county, if a
proposition for the
tax has been submitted | 17 | | to the electors of that county and
approved by a majority of | 18 | | those voting on the question. If imposed, this tax
shall be | 19 | | imposed only in one-quarter percent increments. If imposed, | 20 | | this tax shall be imposed for a period of not less than 5 years | 21 | | but not more than 23 years, if not terminated earlier by a vote | 22 | | of the county board. By resolution, the
county board may order | 23 | | the proposition to be submitted at any election.
If the tax is |
| | | HB5712 | - 2 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | imposed for
transportation purposes for expenditures for | 2 | | public highways or as
authorized
under the Illinois Highway | 3 | | Code, the county board must publish notice
of the existence of | 4 | | its long-range highway transportation
plan as required or | 5 | | described in Section 5-301 of the Illinois
Highway Code and | 6 | | must make the plan publicly available prior to
approval of the | 7 | | ordinance or resolution
imposing the tax. If the tax is imposed | 8 | | for transportation purposes for
expenditures for passenger | 9 | | rail transportation, the county board must publish
notice of | 10 | | the existence of its long-range passenger rail transportation | 11 | | plan
and
must make the plan publicly available prior to | 12 | | approval of the ordinance or
resolution imposing the tax. | 13 | | If a tax is imposed for public facilities purposes, then | 14 | | the name of the project may be included in the proposition at | 15 | | the discretion of the county board as determined in the | 16 | | enabling resolution. For example, the "XXX Nursing Home" or the | 17 | | "YYY Museum". | 18 | | The county clerk shall certify the

" | 17 | | As additional information on the ballot below the | 18 | | question shall appear the following: | 19 | | "This would mean that a consumer would pay an | 20 | | additional (insert amount) in sales tax for every $100 of | 21 | | tangible personal property bought at retail.

provision within the range provided in this | 11 | | subsection (a), at which time the additional sales tax | 12 | | would

| | | HB5712 | - 8 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | incident of the tax shall be
collected and enforced by the | 2 | | Illinois Department of Revenue and deposited
into a special | 3 | | fund created for that purpose. The certificate
of registration | 4 | | that is issued by the Department to a retailer under the
| 5 | | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to | 6 | | engage in a business
that is taxable without registering | 7 | | separately with the Department under an
ordinance or resolution | 8 | | under this Section. The Department has full
power to administer | 9 | | and enforce this Section, to collect all taxes and
penalties | 10 | | due under this Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
| 11 | | collected in the manner provided in this Section, and to | 12 | | determine
all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of | 13 | | the erroneous payment of
a tax or penalty under this Section. | 14 | | In the administration of and compliance
with this Section, the | 15 | | Department and persons who are subject to this Section
shall | 16 | | (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | 17 | | powers, and
duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions, | 18 | | restrictions, limitations,
penalties, and definitions of | 19 | | terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of
procedure as are | 20 | | prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f,
1i, 1j,
1k, 1m, | 21 | | 1n,
2 through 2-70 (in respect to all provisions contained in | 22 | | those Sections
other than the
State rate of tax), 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 | 23 | | (except provisions
relating to
transaction returns and quarter | 24 | | monthly payments), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,
5f,
5g, 5h, 5i, | 25 | | 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11a, 12, and 13 | 26 | | of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the |

Interest Act as if those provisions were | 2 | | set forth in this Section.
| 3 | | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | 4 | | granted in this
Section may reimburse themselves for their | 5 | | sellers' tax liability by
separately stating the tax as an | 6 | | additional charge, which charge may be stated
in combination, | 7 | | in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
| 8 | | to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed | 9 | | schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
| 10 | | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | 11 | | made under this
Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | 12 | | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | 13 | | Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for
the | 14 | | amount specified and to the person named in the notification | 15 | | from the
Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | 16 | | Treasurer out of the County
Public Safety or Transportation | 17 | | Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund.
| 18 | | (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
| 19 | | service occupation tax shall
also be imposed at the same rate | 20 | | upon all persons engaged, in the county, in
the business
of | 21 | | making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those | 22 | | sales of
service, transfer tangible personal property within | 23 | | the county
as an
incident to a sale of service.
This tax may | 24 | | not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is | 25 | | to
be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than | 26 | | alcoholic beverages,
soft drinks, and food prepared for |
| | | HB5712 | - 10 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | immediate consumption) and prescription and
non-prescription | 2 | | medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine
| 3 | | testing materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics.
The | 4 | | tax imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties that | 5 | | may be
assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and | 6 | | enforced by the
Department of Revenue. The Department has
full | 7 | | power to
administer and enforce this subsection; to collect all | 8 | | taxes and penalties
due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and | 9 | | penalties so collected in the manner
hereinafter provided; and | 10 | | to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account | 11 | | of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
In the | 12 | | administration of, and compliance with this subsection, the
| 13 | | Department and persons who are subject to this paragraph shall | 14 | | (i) have the
same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, | 15 | | powers, and duties, (ii) be
subject to the same conditions, | 16 | | restrictions, limitations, penalties,
exclusions, exemptions, | 17 | | and definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same
modes
of | 18 | | procedure as are prescribed in Sections 2 (except that the
| 19 | | reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a | 20 | | place of
business in this State shall mean the county), 2a, 2b, | 21 | | 2c, 3 through
3-50 (in respect to all provisions therein other | 22 | | than the State rate of
tax), 4 (except that the reference to | 23 | | the State shall be to the county),
5, 7, 8 (except that the | 24 | | jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to
the extent | 25 | | indicated in that Section 8 shall be the county), 9 (except as
| 26 | | to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 10, 11, |
| | | HB5712 | - 11 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | 12 (except the reference therein to Section 2b of the
| 2 | | Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference | 3 | | to the State
shall mean the county), Section 15, 16,
17, 18, 19 | 4 | | and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of
the | 5 | | Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those | 6 | | provisions were
set forth herein.
| 7 | | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | 8 | | granted in
this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | 9 | | serviceman's tax liability
by separately stating the tax as an | 10 | | additional charge, which
charge may be stated in combination, | 11 | | in a single amount, with State tax
that servicemen are | 12 | | authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
| 13 | | accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may | 14 | | prescribe.
| 15 | | Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be | 16 | | made under this
subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a | 17 | | credit memorandum, the Department
shall notify the State | 18 | | Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
for the | 19 | | amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
| 20 | | from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State | 21 | | Treasurer out
of the County Public Safety or Transportation | 22 | | Retailers' Occupation Fund.
| 23 | | Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize | 24 | | the county
to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | 25 | | any business which under
the Constitution of the United States | 26 | | may not be made the subject of taxation
by the State.
|
| | | HB5712 | - 12 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | (c) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State | 2 | | Treasurer, ex
officio,
as trustee, all taxes and penalties | 3 | | collected under this Section to be
deposited into the County | 4 | | Public Safety or Transportation Retailers'
Occupation Tax | 5 | | Fund, which
shall be an unappropriated trust fund held outside | 6 | | of the State treasury. | 7 | | As soon as possible after the first day of each month, | 8 | | beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the Department | 9 | | of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the | 10 | | Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the | 11 | | local sales tax increment, as defined in the Innovation | 12 | | Development and Economy Act, collected under this Section | 13 | | during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a | 14 | | STAR bond district. | 15 | | After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, | 16 | | on
or before the 25th
day of each calendar month, the | 17 | | Department shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller the | 18 | | disbursement of stated sums of money
to the counties from which | 19 | | retailers have paid
taxes or penalties to the Department during | 20 | | the second preceding
calendar month. The amount to be paid to | 21 | | each county, and deposited by the
county into its special fund | 22 | | created for the purposes of this Section, shall
be the amount | 23 | | (not
including credit memoranda) collected under this Section | 24 | | during the second
preceding
calendar month by the Department | 25 | | plus an amount the Department determines is
necessary to offset | 26 | | any amounts that were erroneously paid to a different
taxing |
| | | HB5712 | - 13 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | body, and not including (i) an amount equal to the amount of | 2 | | refunds
made
during the second preceding calendar month by the | 3 | | Department on behalf of
the county, (ii) any amount that the | 4 | | Department determines is
necessary to offset any amounts that | 5 | | were payable to a different taxing body
but were erroneously | 6 | | paid to the county, and (iii) any amounts that are transferred | 7 | | to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund. Within 10 days after receipt by | 8 | | the
Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the | 9 | | counties provided for in
this Section to be given to the | 10 | | Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller
shall cause the | 11 | | orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance
| 12 | | with directions contained in the certification.
| 13 | | In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding | 14 | | paragraph, an
allocation shall be made in March of each year to | 15 | | each county that received
more than $500,000 in disbursements | 16 | | under the preceding paragraph in the
preceding calendar year. | 17 | | The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the
average | 18 | | monthly distribution made to each such county under the | 19 | | preceding
paragraph during the preceding calendar year | 20 | | (excluding the 2 months of
highest receipts). The distribution | 21 | | made in March of each year subsequent to
the year in which an | 22 | | allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the
| 23 | | preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount allocated | 24 | | and disbursed
under this paragraph in the preceding calendar | 25 | | year. The Department shall
prepare and certify to the | 26 | | Comptroller for disbursement the allocations made in
|
| | | HB5712 | - 14 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | accordance with this paragraph.
| 2 | | A county may direct, by ordinance, that all or a portion of | 3 | | the taxes and penalties collected under the Special County | 4 | | Retailers' Occupation Tax For Public Safety or Transportation | 5 | | be deposited into the Transportation Development Partnership | 6 | | Trust Fund. | 7 | | (d) For the purpose of determining the local governmental | 8 | | unit whose tax is
applicable, a retail sale by a producer of | 9 | | coal or another mineral mined in
Illinois is a sale at retail | 10 | | at the place where the coal or other mineral mined
in Illinois | 11 | | is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to | 12 | | coal
or another mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the | 13 | | seller to the
purchaser
at a point outside Illinois so that the | 14 | | sale is exempt under the United States
Constitution as a sale | 15 | | in interstate or foreign commerce.
| 16 | | (e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize | 17 | | a county to
impose a
tax upon the privilege of engaging in any | 18 | | business that under the Constitution
of the United States may | 19 | | not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
| 20 | | (e-5) If a county imposes a tax under this Section, the | 21 | | county board may,
by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate | 22 | | of the tax. If the county board
lowers the tax rate or | 23 | | discontinues the tax, a referendum must be
held in accordance | 24 | | with subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase the
| 25 | | rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.
| 26 | | (f) Beginning April 1, 1998 and through December 31, 2013, |
| | | HB5712 | - 15 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | the results of any election authorizing a
proposition to impose | 2 | | a tax
under this Section or effecting a change in the rate of | 3 | | tax, or any ordinance
lowering the rate or discontinuing the | 4 | | tax,
shall be certified
by the
county clerk and filed with the | 5 | | Illinois Department of Revenue
either (i) on or
before the | 6 | | first day of April, whereupon the Department shall proceed to
| 7 | | administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of July next | 8 | | following
the filing; or (ii)
on or before the first day of | 9 | | October, whereupon the
Department shall proceed to administer | 10 | | and enforce the tax as of the first
day of January next | 11 | | following the filing.
| 12 | | Beginning January 1, 2014, the results of any election | 13 | | authorizing a proposition to impose a tax under this Section or | 14 | | effecting an increase in the rate of tax, along with the | 15 | | ordinance adopted to impose the tax or increase the rate of the | 16 | | tax, or any ordinance adopted to lower the rate or discontinue | 17 | | the tax, shall be certified by the county clerk and filed with | 18 | | the Illinois Department of Revenue either (i) on or before the | 19 | | first day of May, whereupon the Department shall proceed to | 20 | | administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of July next | 21 | | following the adoption and filing; or (ii) on or before the | 22 | | first day of October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to | 23 | | administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of January | 24 | | next following the adoption and filing. | 25 | | (g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to | 26 | | a county under
this
Section, the Department shall increase or |
| | | HB5712 | - 16 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | decrease the amounts by an amount
necessary to offset any | 2 | | miscalculation of previous disbursements. The offset
amount | 3 | | shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous 6 | 4 | | months
from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
| 5 | | (h) This Section may be cited as the "Special County | 6 | | Occupation Tax
For Public Safety, Public Facilities, or | 7 | | Transportation Law".
| 8 | | (i) For purposes of this Section, "public safety" includes, | 9 | | but is not
limited to, crime prevention, detention, fire | 10 | | fighting, police, medical,

| 10 | | (e) For the purposes of determining the local governmental | 11 | | unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of | 12 | | coal or another mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail | 13 | | at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois | 14 | | is extracted from the earth. This subsection does not apply to | 15 | | coal or another mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the | 16 | | seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the | 17 | | sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale | 18 | | in interstate or foreign commerce. | 19 | | (f) Nothing in this Section may be construed to authorize a | 20 | | tax to be imposed upon the privilege of engaging in any | 21 | | business that under the Constitution of the United States may | 22 | | not be made the subject of taxation by this State. | 23 | | (g) If a county board imposes a tax under this Section | 24 | | pursuant to a referendum held before August 23, 2011 ( the | 25 | | effective date of Public Act 97-542) this amendatory Act of the | 26 | | 97th General Assembly at a rate below the rate set forth in the |
| | | HB5712 | - 26 - | LRB099 16812 AWJ 41159 b |
|
| 1 | | question approved by a majority of electors of that county | 2 | | voting on the question as provided in subsection (c), then the | 3 | | county board may, by ordinance, increase the rate of the tax up | 4 | | to the rate set forth in the question approved by a majority of | 5 | | electors of that county voting on the question as provided in | 6 | | subsection (c). If a county board imposes a tax under this | 7 | | Section pursuant to a referendum held before August 23, 2011 | 8 | | ( the effective date of Public Act 97-542) this amendatory Act | 9 | | of the 97th General Assembly , then the board may, by ordinance, | 10 | | discontinue or reduce the rate of the tax. If a tax is imposed | 11 | | under this Section pursuant to a referendum held on or after | 12 | | August 23, 2011 ( the effective date of Public Act 97-542) this | 13 | | amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly , then the county | 14 | | board may reduce or discontinue the tax, but only in accordance | 15 | | with subsection (h-5) of this Section. If, however, a school | 16 | | board issues bonds that are secured by the proceeds of the tax | 17 | | under this Section, then the county board may not reduce the | 18 | | tax rate or discontinue the tax if that rate reduction or | 19 | | discontinuance would adversely affect the school board's | 20 | | ability to pay the principal and interest on those bonds as | 21 | | they become due or necessitate the extension of additional | 22 | | property taxes to pay the principal and interest on those | 23 | | bonds. If the county board reduces the tax rate or discontinues | 24 | | the tax, then a referendum must be held in accordance with | 25 | | subsection (c) of this Section in order to increase the rate of | 26 | | the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax. |

"School-facility purposes" | 14 | | also includes fire prevention, safety, energy conservation, | 15 | | accessibility, school security, and specified repair purposes | 16 | | set forth under Section 17-2.11 of the School Code. | 17 | | (h-5) A county board in a county where a tax has been | 18 | | imposed under this Section pursuant to a referendum held on or | 19 | | after August 23, 2011 ( the effective date of Public Act 97-542) | 20 | | this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly may, by | 21 | | ordinance or resolution, submit to the voters of the county the | 22 | | question of reducing or discontinuing the tax. In the ordinance | 23 | | or resolution, the county board shall certify the question to | 24 | | the proper election authority in accordance with the Election | 25 | | Code.
