 8        Section  10.  The  Use  Tax  Act  is  amended by changing
 9    Section 19 as follows:
10        (35 ILCS 105/19) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.19)
11        Sec. 19. If it shall appear that  an  amount  of  tax  or
12    penalty  or  interest has been paid in error hereunder to the
13    Department  by  a  purchaser,  as  distinguished   from   the
14    retailer,  whether  such  amount be paid through a mistake of
15    fact or an error of law, such purchaser may file a claim  for
16    credit  or  refund  with  the  Department  in accordance with
17    Sections 6, 6a, 6b, and 6c of the Retailers'  Occupation  Tax
18    Act.  If  it shall appear that an amount of tax or penalty or
19    interest has been paid in error to the  Department  hereunder
20    by  a  retailer  who is required or authorized to collect and
21    remit the use tax, whether such  amount  be  paid  through  a
22    mistake  of fact or an error of law, such retailer may file a
23    claim for credit or refund with the Department in  accordance
24    with  Sections 6, 6a, 6b, and 6c of the Retailers' Occupation
25    Tax Act, provided that no credit or refund shall  be  allowed
26    for  any  amount  paid  by  any such retailer unless it shall
27    appear that he bore the burden of such  amount  and  did  not
28    shift  the burden thereof to anyone else (as in the case of a
29    duplicated  tax  payment  which  the  retailer  made  to  the
30    Department and did not collect from anyone else),  or  unless
31    it  shall  appear  that  he  or  she  or  his  or  her  legal
32    representative  has unconditionally repaid such amount to his
                            -6-              LRB9007368KDksam
 1    vendee (1) who bore the burden thereof and  has  not  shifted
 2    such  burden directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever;
 3    (2)  who,  if  he  has  shifted  such  burden,   has   repaid
 4    unconditionally such amount to his or her own vendee, and (3)
 5    who  is  not  entitled  to receive any reimbursement therefor
 6    from any other  source  than  from  his  vendor,  nor  to  be
 7    relieved of such burden in any other manner whatsoever. If it
 8    shall  appear  that  an  amount of tax has been paid in error
 9    hereunder by the purchaser to a retailer, who  retained  such
10    tax as reimbursement for his or her tax liability on the same
11    sale  under  the  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and  who
12    remitted  the  amount  involved  to  the Department under the
13    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, whether such  amount  be  paid
14    through  a  mistake of fact or an error of law, the procedure
15    for recovering such tax shall be that prescribed in  Sections
16    6, 6a, 6b and 6c of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.
17        Any  credit  or refund that is allowed under this Section
18    shall bear interest at the rate and in the  manner  specified
19    in the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
20        Any  claim  filed  hereunder  shall  be filed upon a form
21    prescribed and furnished by the Department. The  claim  shall
22    be  signed  by  the  claimant  (or  by  the  claimant's legal
23    representative if the claimant shall have died  or  become  a
24    person under legal disability), or by a duly authorized agent
25    of the claimant or his or her legal representative.
26        A  claim for credit or refund shall be considered to have
27    been filed with the Department on the date upon which  it  is
28    received  by  the  Department.  Upon receipt of any claim for
29    credit or  refund  filed  under  this  Act,  any  officer  or
30    employee  of  the  Department,  authorized  in writing by the
31    Director of Revenue to acknowledge receipt of such claims  on
32    behalf  of  the  Department,  shall  execute on behalf of the
33    Department, and shall deliver or mail to the claimant or  his
34    duly  authorized agent, a written receipt, acknowledging that
                            -7-              LRB9007368KDksam
 1    the claim has been filed with the Department, describing  the
 2    claim  in  sufficient  detail  to identify it and stating the
 3    date upon which the claim was  received  by  the  Department.
 4    Such  written  receipt shall be prima facie evidence that the
 5    Department received the claim described in such  receipt  and
 6    shall be prima facie evidence of the date when such claim was
 7    received  by the Department. In the absence of such a written
 8    receipt, the records of the Department as to when  the  claim
 9    was  received  by the Department, or as to whether or not the
10    claim was received at all by the Department, shall be  deemed
11    to  be  prima facie correct upon these questions in the event
12    of any dispute between the claimant  (or  his  or  her  legal
13    representative)   and   the   Department   concerning   these
14    questions.
15        In  case  the  Department determines that the claimant is
16    entitled to a refund, such refund shall  be  made  only  from
17    such  appropriation  as may be available for that purpose. If
18    it appears unlikely that the amount appropriated would permit
19    everyone having a claim allowed during the period covered  by
20    such  appropriation  to  elect  to receive a cash refund, the
21    Department, by rule or  regulation,  shall  provide  for  the
22    payment  of  refunds  in hardship cases and shall define what
23    types of cases qualify as hardship cases.
24        If a retailer who has failed to  pay  use  tax  on  gross
25    receipts  from  retail sales is required by the Department to
26    pay such tax, such retailer, without filing any formal  claim
27    with  the Department, shall be allowed to take credit against
28    such use tax liability to the extent, if any, to  which  such
29    retailer   has   paid  an  amount  equivalent  to  retailers'
30    occupation tax or has paid use tax in error  to  his  or  her
31    vendor  or  vendors  of  the  same tangible personal property
32    which such retailer bought for resale and did not  first  use
33    before  selling  it,  and  no  penalty  or  interest shall be
34    charged to such  retailer  on  the  amount  of  such  credit.
                            -8-              LRB9007368KDksam
 1    However,  when  such credit is allowed to the retailer by the
 2    Department, the vendor is precluded  from  refunding  any  of
 3    that  tax  to  the  retailer and filing a claim for credit or
 4    refund  with  respect  thereto  with  the   Department.   The
 5    provisions   of   this   amendatory   Act  shall  be  applied
 6    retroactively, regardless of the date of the transaction.

 8        Section 15.  The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
 9    changing Section 19 as follows:
10        (35 ILCS 115/19) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.119)
11        Sec. 19.  As to any claim for credit or refund filed with
12    the Department on or and after each January 1 and July 1  but
13    on  or  before June 30 of any given year, no amount of tax or
14    penalty or interest erroneously  paid  (either  in  total  or
15    partial  liquidation  of  a  tax or penalty or interest under
16    this Act) more than 3 years prior to such January 1 and  July
17    1,  respectively,  shall be credited or refunded, except that
18    if both  the  Department  and  taxpayer  have  agreed  to  an
19    extension  of  time  to  issue  a  notice of tax liability as
20    provided in Section 4 of the Retailers' Occupation  Tax  Act,
21    such  claim  may be filed at any time prior to the expiration
22    of the period agreed upon and as to any such claim  filed  on
23    and  after  July  1 but on or before December 31 of any given
24    year, no amount of tax or  penalty  or  interest  erroneously
25    paid  (either  in  total  or  partial liquidation of a tax or
26    penalty under this Act) more than 3 years prior to such  July
27    1  shall  be credited or refunded.  No claim shall be allowed
28    for  any  amount  paid  to  the  Department,   whether   paid
29    voluntarily  or  involuntarily,  if  paid in total or partial
30    liquidation of an assessment which had  become  final  before
31    the  claim for credit or refund to recover the amount so paid

 6        Sec. 5-1006.5.  Special County Retailers' Occupation  Tax
 7    For Public Safety.
 8        (a)  The county board of any county may impose a tax upon
 9    all  persons  engaged  in  the  business  of selling tangible
10    personal property, other than  personal  property  titled  or
11    registered  with  an  agency  of  this State's government, at
12    retail in the county on the gross  receipts  from  the  sales
13    made  in the course of business to provide revenue to be used
14    exclusively for public safety purposes in that county,  if  a
15    proposition for the tax has been submitted to the electors of
16    that county and approved by a majority of those voting on the
17    question.   If  imposed,  this  tax  shall be imposed only in
18    one-quarter percent increments.  By  resolution,  the  county
19    board  may  order  the  proposition  to  be  submitted at any
20    election.  The county clerk shall certify the question to the
21    proper election authority, who shall submit  the  proposition

 5    premises  where  it  is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
 6    soft drinks, and food which has been prepared  for  immediate
 7    consumption) and prescription and non-prescription medicines,
 8    drugs,   medical   appliances   and  insulin,  urine  testing

22    determine all rights to credit memoranda arising  on  account
23    of  the  erroneous  payment  of  a  tax or penalty under this
24    Section.  In the administration of and compliance  with  this
25    Section,  the  Department and persons who are subject to this
26    Section shall (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
27    immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to  the  same
28    conditions,   restrictions,   limitations,   penalties,   and
29    definitions  of  terms,  and  (iii)  employ the same modes of
30    procedure as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d,  1e,

 7    granted  in  this  Section may reimburse themselves for their
 8    sellers' tax liability by separately stating the  tax  as  an
 9    additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
10    in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
11    to  collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed
12    schedules as the Department may prescribe.
13        Whenever the Department determines that a  refund  should
14    be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
15    credit  memorandum,  the  Department  shall  notify the State
16    Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be  drawn  for  the
17    amount  specified and to the person named in the notification
18    from the Department.  The refund shall be paid by  the  State
19    Treasurer   out   of  the  County  Public  Safety  Retailers'

21        (b)  If a tax has been imposed under  subsection  (a),  a
22    service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
23    upon  all  persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
24    making sales of service, who, as an incident to making  those
25    sales  of service, transfer tangible personal property within
26    the county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax  may
27    not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is

 5    hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights  to  credit
 6    memoranda  arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax
 7    or  penalty  hereunder.    In  the  administration  of,   and
 8    compliance  with  this subsection, the Department and persons

10    rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties,

12    limitations,   penalties,   exclusions,    exemptions,    and
13    definitions  of  terms,  and  (iii)  employ the same modes of

21    debt to the extent indicated in that Section 8 shall  be  the
22    county),  9  (except  as  to  the  disposition  of  taxes and
23    penalties collected, and except that the returned merchandise
24    credit for this tax may not be taken against any State  tax),

26    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any reference
27    to  the  State shall mean the county), the first paragraph of
28    Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the  Service  Occupation
29    Tax  Act  and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest
30    Act, as fully as if those provisions were set forth herein.
31        Persons subject to any tax imposed  under  the  authority
32    granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
33    serviceman's  tax  liability by separately stating the tax as
34    an  additional  charge,  which  charge  may  be   stated   in
                            -13-             LRB9007368KDksam
 1    combination,   in  a  single  amount,  with  State  tax  that
 2    servicemen are authorized to collect under  the  Service  Use
 3    Tax  Act,  in  accordance  with such bracket schedules as the
 4    Department may prescribe.
 5        Whenever the Department determines that a  refund  should
 6    be  made  under  this  subsection  to  a  claimant instead of
 7    issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify  the
 8    State  Comptroller,  who  shall cause the warrant to be drawn
 9    for the amount specified, and to the  person  named,  in  the
10    notification  from  the Department.  The refund shall be paid
11    by the State  Treasurer  out  of  the  County  Public  Safety
12    Retailers' Occupation Fund.
13        Nothing   in   this  subsection  shall  be  construed  to
14    authorize the county to impose a tax upon  the  privilege  of
15    engaging  in any business which under the Constitution of the
16    United States may not be made the subject of taxation by  the
17    State.
18        (c)  The  Department  shall  immediately  pay over to the
19    State Treasurer,  Ex  Officio,  as  trustee,  all  taxes  and
20    penalties  collected  under this Section to be deposited into
21    the County Public  Safety  Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Fund,
22    which  is  created  in  the State treasury.  On or before the
23    25th day of each calendar month, the Department shall prepare
24    and certify to the Comptroller  the  disbursement  of  stated
25    sums  of money to the counties from which retailers have paid
26    taxes or  penalties  to  the  Department  during  the  second
27    preceding  calendar  month.   The  amount  to be paid to each
28    county shall be the amount (not including  credit  memoranda)
29    collected  under  this  Section  during  the second preceding
30    calendar  month  by  the  Department  plus  an   amount   the
31    Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
32    were  erroneously  paid  to  a different taxing body, and not
33    including (i) an amount equal to the amount of  refunds  made
34    during  the second preceding calendar month by the Department
                            -14-             LRB9007368KDksam
 1    on behalf  of  the  county  and  (ii)  any  amount  that  the
 2    Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
 3    were  payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously
 4    paid to the county.  Within 10  days  after  receipt  by  the
 5    Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the counties
 6    provided  for  in this Section to be given to the Comptroller
 7    by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders  to
 8    be  drawn  for  the  respective  amounts  in  accordance with
 9    directions contained in the certification.
10        In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
11    paragraph, an allocation shall be made in March of each  year
12    to   each   county   that  received  more  than  $500,000  in
13    disbursements under the preceding paragraph in the  preceding
14    calendar year.  The allocation shall be in an amount equal to
15    the  average  monthly  distribution  made to each such county
16    under the preceding paragraph during the  preceding  calendar
17    year  (excluding  the  2  months  of  highest receipts).  The
18    distribution made in March of each  year  subsequent  to  the
19    year  in  which  an  allocation  was  made  pursuant  to this
20    paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
21    amount allocated and disbursed under this  paragraph  in  the
22    preceding  calendar  year.   The Department shall prepare and
23    certify to the Comptroller for disbursement  the  allocations
24    made in accordance with this paragraph.
25        (d)  For   the   purpose   of   determining   the   local
26    governmental unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a
27    producer  of  coal  or another mineral mined in Illinois is a
28    sale at retail at the place where the coal or  other  mineral
29    mined   in  Illinois  is  extracted  from  the  earth.   This
30    paragraph does not apply to coal or another mineral  when  it
31    is  delivered  or shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a
32    point outside Illinois so that the sale is exempt  under  the
33    United States Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign
34    commerce.

 1        (e)  Nothing  in  this  Section  shall  be  construed  to
 2    authorize  a  county  to  impose  a tax upon the privilege of
 3    engaging in any business that under the Constitution  of  the
 4    United States may not be made the subject of taxation by this
 5    State.
 6        (e-5)  If  a county imposes a tax under this Section, the
 7    county board may, by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate
 8    of the tax.  If the county  board  lowers  the  tax  rate  or
 9    discontinues the tax, a referendum must be held in accordance
10    with  subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase the
11    rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.
12        (f)  The  results   of   any   election   authorizing   a
13    proposition to impose a tax under this Section or effecting a
14    change in the rate of tax, or any ordinance lowering the rate
15    or  discontinuing  the  tax, shall be certified by the county
16    clerk and filed with the Illinois Department of Revenue on or
17    before the first day of  June.  The  Illinois  Department  of
18    Revenue  shall  then  proceed  to administer and enforce this
19    Section or to lower the rate or discontinue the tax,  as  the
20    case  may  be,  as of the first day of January next following
21    the filing.
22        (g)  When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement
23    to a county under this Section, the Department shall increase
24    or decrease the amounts by an amount necessary to offset  any
25    miscalculation  of previous disbursements.  The offset amount
26    shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
27    6 months from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
28        (h)  This Section may be cited  as  the  "Special  County
29    Occupation Tax For Public Safety Law".

 1        Section  25.  The  Illinois  Municipal Code is amended by
 2    changing Section 8-11-6 as follows:
 3        (65 ILCS 5/8-11-6) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-6)
 4        Sec. 8-11-6. (a) The corporate authorities of a home rule
 5    municipality may impose a tax upon the privilege of using, in
 6    such municipality, any item  of  tangible  personal  property
 7    which  is  purchased  at retail from a retailer, and which is
 8    titled or registered  at  a  location  within  the  corporate
 9    limits  of such home rule municipality with an agency of this
10    State's government, at a rate which is an increment  of  1/4%
11    and  based  on  the  selling  price of such tangible personal
12    property, as "selling price" is defined in the Use  Tax  Act.
13    In   home   rule  municipalities  with  less  than  2,000,000
14    inhabitants, the tax shall be collected by  the  municipality
15    imposing  the  tax  from  persons  whose Illinois address for
16    titling or registration purposes is given as  being  in  such
17    municipality.
18        (b)  In  home  rule municipalities with 2,000,000 or more
19    inhabitants, the corporate authorities  of  the  municipality
20    may additionally impose a tax beginning July 1, 1991 upon the
21    privilege  of using in the municipality, any item of tangible
22    personal property,  other  than  tangible  personal  property
23    titled   or   registered   with  an  agency  of  the  State's
24    government, that is  purchased  at  retail  from  a  retailer
25    located  outside the corporate limits of the municipality, at
26    a rate that is an increment of 1/4%  not  to  exceed  1%  and
27    based on the selling price of the tangible personal property,
28    as  "selling  price" is defined in the Use Tax Act.  Such tax
29    shall be collected from the  purchaser  by  the  municipality
30    imposing such tax.
31        To prevent multiple home rule taxation, the use in a home
32    rule  municipality  of  tangible  personal  property  that is
33    acquired outside the municipality and caused  to  be  brought
                            -17-             LRB9007368KDksam
 1    into the municipality by a person who has already paid a home
 2    rule  municipal tax in another municipality in respect to the
 3    sale, purchase, or use of that property, shall be  exempt  to
 4    the  extent of the amount of the tax properly due and paid in
 5    the other home rule municipality.
 6        (c)  If  a  municipality   having   2,000,000   or   more
 7    inhabitants  imposes  the  tax  authorized by subsection (a),
 8    then the tax shall be collected by the Illinois Department of
 9    Revenue when the property  is  purchased  at  retail  from  a
10    retailer  in  the  county in which the home rule municipality
11    imposing the tax is located, and in all contiguous  counties.
12    The  tax  shall  be  remitted  to  the State, or an exemption
13    determination must be obtained from the Department before the
14    title or certificate of registration for the property may  be
15    issued.   The tax or proof of exemption may be transmitted to
16    the Department by way of the  State  agency  with  which,  or
17    State  officer with whom, the tangible personal property must
18    be titled or registered if the Department and that agency  or
19    State officer determine that this procedure will expedite the
20    processing of applications for title or registration.
21        The  Department  shall  have full power to administer and
22    enforce this Section to  collect  all  taxes,  penalties  and
23    interest  due  hereunder,  to dispose of taxes, penalties and
24    interest so collected in the manner hereinafter provided, and
25    determine all rights to credit memoranda or  refunds  arising
26    on  account  of  the  erroneous  payment  of  tax, penalty or
27    interest hereunder.  In the administration of and  compliance
28    with  this Section the Department and persons who are subject
29    to  this  Section  shall  have  the  same  rights,  remedies,
30    privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be subject  to
31    the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
32    definitions  of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure

12    Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be  drawn  for  the
13    amount   specified,   and   to  the  person  named,  in  such
