(c) Any municipality appearing on the list published pursuant to
this Section shall not be required to adopt and file an ordinance
implementing the tax authorized by this Act. The list shall be
conclusive evidence of the imposition of the tax authorized by this
Act at the rate appearing on such list.
Any tax imposed in such manner shall take effect with respect to gross charges
billed by telecommunications retailers on or after January 1, 2003.
