Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

35 ILCS 505/1.2

(35 ILCS 505/1.2) (from Ch. 120, par. 417.2)

Sec. 1.2. Distributor.

"Distributor" means a person who either (i)
produces,
refines, blends, compounds or manufactures motor fuel in this State, or (ii)
transports motor fuel into this State, or (iii) exports motor fuel out of this State, or (iv) engages in the distribution of
motor fuel primarily by tank car or tank truck, or both, and who operates an
Illinois bulk plant where he or she has active bulk storage capacity of not
less than 30,000 gallons for gasoline as defined in item (A) of Section 5 of
this Law.

"Distributor" does not, however, include a person who receives or
transports into this State and sells or uses motor fuel under such
circumstances as preclude the collection of the tax herein imposed, by
reason of the provisions of the constitution and statutes of the United
States. However, a person operating a motor vehicle into the State, may
transport motor fuel in the ordinary fuel tank attached to the motor
vehicle for the operation of the motor vehicle, without being considered
a distributor.  Any railroad registered under
Section 18c-7201 of the Illinois Vehicle Code may deliver special fuel directly
into the fuel supply tank of a locomotive owned, operated, or controlled by any
other railroad registered under Section 18c-7201 of the Illinois Vehicle Code
without being considered a distributor or supplier.
