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 505/17

(35 ILCS 505/17) (from Ch. 120, par. 433)

Sec. 17.

It is the purpose of Sections 2 and 13a of this Act to
impose a tax upon the privilege
of operating each motor vehicle as defined in this Act upon the public
highways and the waters of this State, such tax to be based upon the
consumption of motor fuel in such motor vehicle, so far as the same may be
done, under the Constitution and statutes of the United States, and the
Constitution of the State of Illinois. It is the purpose of Section 2a of
this Act to impose a tax upon the privilege of importing or receiving in this State
fuel for sale or use, such tax to be used to fund the
Underground Storage Tank Fund or the Transportation Renewal Fund. If any of the provisions of this Act
include transactions which are not taxable or are in any other respect
unconstitutional, it is the intent of the General Assembly that, so far as
possible, the remaining provisions of the Act be given effect.
