| 4 | | Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section | 5 | | 5-1035.1 as follows:
| 6 | | (55 ILCS 5/5-1035.1) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1035.1)
| 7 | | Sec. 5-1035.1. County Motor Fuel Tax Law. The
The county | 8 | | board of the
counties of DuPage, Kane and McHenry may, by an | 9 | | ordinance or resolution
adopted by an affirmative vote of a | 10 | | majority of the members elected or
appointed to the county | 11 | | board, impose a tax upon all persons engaged in the
county in | 12 | | the business of selling motor fuel, as now or hereafter defined
| 13 | | in the Motor Fuel Tax Law, at retail for the operation of motor | 14 | | vehicles
upon public highways or for the operation of | 15 | | recreational watercraft upon
waterways. Kane County may exempt | 16 | | diesel fuel from the tax imposed pursuant
to this Section. The | 17 | | tax may be imposed, in half-cent increments, at a
rate not | 18 | | exceeding 4 cents per gallon of motor fuel sold at retail | 19 | | within
the county for the purpose of use or consumption and not | 20 | | for the purpose of
resale. The proceeds from the tax shall be | 21 | | used by the county solely for
the purpose of operating, | 22 | | constructing and improving public highways and
waterways, and | 23 | | acquiring real property and right-of-ways for public
highways |

|
| 1 | | and waterways within the county imposing the tax. | 2 | | A tax imposed pursuant to this Section, and all civil | 3 | | penalties that may
be assessed as an incident thereof, shall be | 4 | | administered, collected and
enforced by the Illinois | 5 | | Department of Revenue in the same manner as the
tax imposed | 6 | | under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, as now or hereafter
| 7 | | amended, insofar as may be practicable; except that in the | 8 | | event of a
conflict with the provisions of this Section, this | 9 | | Section shall control.
The Department of Revenue shall have | 10 | | full power: to administer and enforce
this Section; to collect | 11 | | all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
of taxes and | 12 | | penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and
| 13 | | to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account | 14 | | of the
erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
| 15 | | Whenever the Department determines that a refund shall be | 16 | | made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a | 17 | | credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State | 18 | | Comptroller, who shall cause the
order 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 Option Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
| 22 | | The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State | 23 | | Treasurer,
ex-officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties | 24 | | collected hereunder, which
shall be deposited into the County | 25 | | Option Motor Fuel Tax Fund, a special
fund in the State | 26 | | Treasury which is hereby created. On or before the 25th
day of |
| | | HB1018 | - 3 - | LRB101 03230 AWJ 48238 b |
|
| 1 | | each calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify | 2 | | to the
State Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of | 3 | | money to named
counties for which taxpayers have paid taxes or | 4 | | penalties hereunder to the
Department during the second | 5 | | preceding calendar month. The amount to be
paid to each county | 6 | | shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda)
collected | 7 | | hereunder from retailers within the county during the second
| 8 | | preceding calendar month by the Department, but not including | 9 | | an amount
equal to the amount of refunds made during the second | 10 | | preceding calendar
month by the Department on behalf of the | 11 | | county;
less
2% of the balance, which sum shall be retained by | 12 | | the State Treasurer to cover the costs incurred by the | 13 | | Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of | 14 | | this Section. The Department, at the time of each monthly | 15 | | disbursement to the counties, shall prepare and certify to the | 16 | | Comptroller the amount so retained by the State Treasurer, | 17 | | which shall be transferred into the Tax Compliance and | 18 | | Administration Fund. | 19 | | A county may direct, by ordinance, that all or a portion of | 20 | | the taxes and penalties collected under the County Option Motor | 21 | | Fuel Tax shall be deposited into the Transportation Development | 22 | | Partnership Trust Fund.
| 23 | | Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a | 24 | | county to
impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any | 25 | | business which under
the Constitution of the United States may | 26 | | not be made the subject of
taxation by this State.
|
| | | HB1018 | - 4 - | LRB101 03230 AWJ 48238 b |
|
| 1 | | An ordinance or resolution imposing a tax hereunder or | 2 | | effecting a
change in the rate thereof shall be effective on | 3 | | the first day of the second
calendar month next following the | 4 | | month in which the ordinance or
resolution is adopted and a | 5 | | certified copy thereof is filed with the
Department of Revenue, | 6 | | whereupon the Department of Revenue shall proceed
to administer | 7 | | and enforce this Section on behalf of the county as of the
| 8 | | effective date of the ordinance or resolution. Upon a change in | 9 | | rate of a
tax levied hereunder, or upon the discontinuance of | 10 | | the tax, the county
board of the county shall, on or not later | 11 | | than 5 days after the effective
date of the ordinance or | 12 | | resolution discontinuing the tax or effecting a
change in rate, | 13 | | transmit to the Department of Revenue a certified copy of
the | 14 | | ordinance or resolution effecting the change or | 15 | | discontinuance.
| 16 | | This Section shall be known and may be cited as the County | 17 | | Motor Fuel
Tax Law.
