32    property, other than on an item of tangible personal property
                            -3-               LRB9000660DNsbC
 1    that  is  titled  and registered by an agency of this State's

 3    1%  in  1/4  of  1%  increments  for  expenditure  on capital

 7    This additional tax may not be imposed on the sales  of  food

15    penalties  that  may  be  assessed  as  an  incident  to  the
16    imposition of the tax shall be collected and enforced by  the
17    State Department of Revenue.  The certificate of registration
18    that  is  issued  by  the  Department to a retailer under the
19    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit that  retailer  to
20    engage  in  a business that is taxable under any ordinance or

29    under this Section.  In the administration of, and compliance
30    with,  this  Section,  the  Department  and  persons  who are
31    subject to this Section shall have the same rights, remedies,
32    privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, and be subject to
33    the same conditions,  restrictions,  limitations,  penalties,
34    and  definitions  of  terms,  and  employ  the  same modes of

 8    Act as fully as if those provisions were set  forth  in  this
 9    Section.
10        Persons  subject  to  any tax imposed under the authority
11    granted in this Section may reimburse  themselves  for  their
12    seller's  tax  liability  under  this  Section  by separately
13    stating the tax as an additional charge, which charge may  be
14    stated  in  combination,  in  a single amount, with State tax
15    that sellers are required to collect under the Use  Tax  Act,
16    pursuant  to  such  bracket  schedules  as the Department may
17    prescribe.
18        Whenever the Department determines that a  refund  should
19    be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
20    credit  memorandum,  the  Department  shall  notify the State
21    Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be  drawn  for  the
22    amount   specified,   and   to   the  person  named,  in  the
23    notification from the Department.  The refund shall  be  paid
24    by  the  State  Treasurer  out  of  the Non-Home Rule Capital
25    Projects Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund.
26        The Department shall forthwith  pay  over  to  the  State
27    Treasurer,  ex  officio,  as trustee, all taxes and penalties
28    collected under this Section.  On or before the 25th  day  of
29    each calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify
30    to  the  Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money
31    to named municipalities, the municipalities to be those  from
32    which  retailers  have  paid  taxes  or  penalties under this
33    Section  to  the  Department  during  the  second   preceding
34    calendar  month.  The  amount to be paid to each municipality
                            -5-               LRB9000660DNsbC
 1    shall  be  the  amount  (not  including   credit   memoranda)
 2    collected  under  this  Section  during  the second preceding
 3    calendar  month  by  the  Department  plus  an   amount   the
 4    Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
 5    were  erroneously  paid  to a different taxing body,  and not
 6    including an amount equal  to  the  amount  of  refunds  made
 7    during  the second preceding calendar month by the Department
 8    on behalf of the municipality, and not including  any  amount
 9    that  the  Department  determines  is necessary to offset any
10    amounts that were payable to a different taxing body but were
11    erroneously paid to the municipality. Within  10  days  after
12    receipt,    by   the   Comptroller,   of   the   disbursement
13    certification to the municipalities,  provided  for  in  this
14    Section to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the
15    Comptroller  shall  cause  the  orders  to  be  drawn for the
16    respective  amounts  in  accordance   with   the   directions
17    contained in the certification.
18        For  the  purpose  of  determining the local governmental
19    unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer of
20    coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at  retail
21    at  the  place  where  the  coal  or  other  mineral mined in
22    Illinois is extracted from the earth.   This  paragraph  does
23    not  apply  to  coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
24    shipped by the seller to the purchaser  at  a  point  outside
25    Illinois  so  that  the  sale  is  exempt  under  the Federal
26    Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
27        Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
28    municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege  of  engaging
29    in  any  business  that  under the Constitution of the United
30    States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
31        When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
32    municipality  under  this  Section,  the   Department   shall
33    increase  or  decrease  the  amount by an amount necessary to
34    offset  any  misallocation  of  previous  disbursements.  The
                            -6-               LRB9000660DNsbC
 1    offset amount  shall  be  the  amount  erroneously  disbursed
 2    within the previous 6 months from the time a misallocation is
 3    discovered.

25    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
26    insulin,  urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used
27    by diabetics.  The tax imposed by a municipality  under  this
28    Section  and  all  civil penalties that may be assessed as an
29    incident to the imposition of the tax shall be collected  and
30    enforced  by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
