 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 1565 by  replacing
 3    the title with the following:
 4        "AN ACT concerning taxes."; and
 5    by  replacing  everything  after the enacting clause with the
 6    following:
 7        "Section 5.  The Counties Code  is  amended  by  changing
 8    Sections 5-1006, 5-1006.5, and 5-1007 as follows:
 9        (55 ILCS 5/5-1006) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1006)
10        Sec.  5-1006.  Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax
11    Law. Any county that is a home rule unit  may  impose  a  tax
12    upon  all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
13    personal property, other than an item  of  tangible  personal
14    property  titled or registered with an agency of this State's
15    government, at retail in the county  on  the  gross  receipts
16    from  such  sales  made  in the course of their business.  If
17    imposed, this tax shall only be imposed in  1/4%  increments.
18    On  and  after September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not
19    be imposed on the sales of food for human  consumption  which
20    is  to  be  consumed off the premises where it is sold (other
                            -2-              LRB9011620KDksam

 2    prepared for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription  and
 3    nonprescription  medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and
 4    insulin,  urine  testing materials, syringes and needles used
 5    by diabetics. The tax imposed by a home rule county  pursuant
 6    to  this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed
 7    as an incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
 8    State Department of Revenue.  The certificate of registration
 9    that is issued by the Department  to  a  retailer  under  the
10    Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Act shall permit the retailer to
11    engage in a business that is taxable under any  ordinance  or
12    resolution   enacted   pursuant   to   this  Section  without
13    registering  separately  with  the  Department   under   such
14    ordinance   or   resolution   or  under  this  Section.   The
15    Department shall have full power to  administer  and  enforce
16    this   Section;  to  collect  all  taxes  and  penalties  due
17    hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected  in
18    the  manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights
19    to credit memoranda  arising  on  account  of  the  erroneous
20    payment  of  tax or penalty hereunder.  In the administration
21    of, and compliance with, this  Section,  the  Department  and
22    persons  who  are subject to this Section shall have the same
23    rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and  duties,
24    and   be   subject  to  the  same  conditions,  restrictions,
25    limitations, penalties and definitions of terms,  and  employ
26    the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1,
27    1a,  1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n, 2 through 2-65 (in
28    respect to all provisions therein other than the  State  rate

31    Retailers'  Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
32    Penalty and Interest Act, as fully  as  if  those  provisions
33    were set forth herein.
34        No  tax  may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to
                            -3-              LRB9011620KDksam
 1    this Section unless the county also imposes a tax at the same
 2    rate pursuant to Section 5-1007.
 3        Persons subject  to  any  tax  imposed  pursuant  to  the
 4    authority  granted  in  this Section may reimburse themselves
 5    for their seller's  tax  liability  hereunder  by  separately
 6    stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be
 7    stated  in  combination,  in  a single amount, with State tax
 8    which sellers are required to collect under the Use Tax  Act,
 9    pursuant  to  such  bracket  schedules  as the Department may
10    prescribe.
11        Whenever the Department determines that a  refund  should
12    be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
13    credit  memorandum,  the  Department  shall  notify the State
14    Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be  drawn  for  the
15    amount  specified and to the person named in the notification
16    from the Department. The refund shall be paid  by  the  State
17    Treasurer  out  of the home rule county retailers' occupation
18    tax fund.
19        The Department shall forthwith  pay  over  to  the  State
20    Treasurer,  ex  officio,  as trustee, all taxes and penalties
21    collected hereunder.  On or  before  the  25th  day  of  each
22    calendar  month,  the Department shall prepare and certify to
23    the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of  money  to
24    named counties, the counties to be those from which retailers
25    have  paid  taxes  or  penalties  hereunder to the Department
26    during the second preceding calendar month.  The amount to be
27    paid to each county shall be the amount (not including credit
28    memoranda) collected hereunder during  the  second  preceding
29    calendar   month   by  the  Department  plus  an  amount  the
30    Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
31    were erroneously paid to a different  taxing  body,  and  not
32    including  an  amount  equal  to  the  amount of refunds made
33    during the second preceding calendar month by the  Department
34    on  behalf of such county, and not including any amount which
                            -4-              LRB9011620KDksam
 1    the Department determines is necessary to offset any  amounts
 2    which  were  payable  to  a  different  taxing  body but were
 3    erroneously paid to the county. Within 10 days after receipt,
 4    by the Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to  the
 5    counties  provided  for  in  this  Section to be given to the
 6    Comptroller by the Department, the  Comptroller  shall  cause
 7    the  orders  to  be  drawn  for  the  respective  amounts  in
 8    accordance    with    the   directions   contained   in   the
 9    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        For  the  purpose  of  determining the local governmental
26    unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer  of
27    coal  or  other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
28    at the place  where  the  coal  or  other  mineral  mined  in
29    Illinois  is  extracted  from the earth.  This paragraph does
30    not apply to coal or other mineral when it  is  delivered  or
31    shipped  by  the  seller  to the purchaser at a point outside
32    Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the  United  States
33    Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
34        Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
                            -5-              LRB9011620KDksam
 1    county  to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
 2    business which under the Constitution of  the  United  States
 3    may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
 4        An  ordinance  or  resolution imposing or discontinuing a
 5    tax hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall
 6    be adopted and  a  certified  copy  thereof  filed  with  the
 7    Department  on or before the first day of June, whereupon the
 8    Department shall  proceed  to  administer  and  enforce  this
 9    Section  as of the first day of September next following such
10    adoption and filing. Beginning January 1, 1992, an  ordinance
11    or  resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax hereunder or
12    effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be adopted and a
13    certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or before
14    the first day of July, whereupon the Department shall proceed
15    to administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of
16    October next following such adoption  and  filing.  Beginning
17    January  1,  1993,  an  ordinance  or  resolution imposing or
18    discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a change in  the
19    rate  thereof  shall  be adopted and a certified copy thereof

 1        When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
 2    county  under  this Section, the Department shall increase or

 6    6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.

14    all  persons  engaged  in  the  business  of selling tangible
15    personal property, other than  personal  property  titled  or
16    registered  with  an  agency  of  this State's government, at
17    retail in the county on the gross  receipts  from  the  sales
18    made  in the course of business to provide revenue to be used
19    exclusively for public safety purposes in that county,  if  a
20    proposition for the tax has been submitted to the electors of
21    that county and approved by a majority of those voting on the
22    question.   If  imposed,  this  tax  shall be imposed only in
23    one-quarter percent increments.  By  resolution,  the  county
24    board  may  order  the  proposition  to  be  submitted at any
25    election.  The county clerk shall certify the question to the
26    proper election authority, who shall submit  the  proposition
27    at an election in accordance with the general election law.
28        The  proposition  shall be in substantially the following
29    form:
30             "Shall (name of county) be authorized  to  impose  a
31        public  safety  tax  at the rate of .... upon all persons
32        engaged in the  business  of  selling  tangible  personal
33        property  at  retail in the county on gross receipts from

 2        for crime prevention, detention, and other public  safety
 3        purposes?"
 4    Votes  shall  be recorded as Yes or No.  If a majority of the
 5    electors voting on the proposition vote in favor of  it,  the
 6    county may impose the tax.
 7        This  additional  tax  may not be imposed on the sales of
 8    food for human consumption that is to  be  consumed  off  the
 9    premises  where  it  is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
10    soft drinks, and food which has been prepared  for  immediate
11    consumption) and prescription and non-prescription medicines,
12    drugs,   medical   appliances   and  insulin,  urine  testing
13    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics.  The  tax
14    imposed  by  a  county  under  this  Section  and  all  civil
15    penalties  that  may  be  assessed  as an incident of the tax
16    shall be collected and enforced by the Illinois Department of
17    Revenue.  The certificate of registration that is  issued  by
18    the  Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation
19    Tax Act shall permit the retailer to  engage  in  a  business
20    that  is  taxable  without  registering  separately  with the
21    Department  under  an  ordinance  or  resolution  under  this
22    Section.  The Department has full  power  to  administer  and
23    enforce  this Section, to collect all taxes and penalties due
24    under this Section, to dispose  of  taxes  and  penalties  so
25    collected  in  the  manner  provided  in this Section, and to
26    determine all rights to credit memoranda arising  on  account
27    of  the  erroneous  payment  of  a  tax or penalty under this
28    Section.  In the administration of and compliance  with  this
29    Section,  the  Department and persons who are subject to this
30    Section shall (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
31    immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to  the  same
32    conditions,   restrictions,   limitations,   penalties,   and
33    definitions  of  terms,  and  (iii)  employ the same modes of
34    procedure as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d,  1e,

 3    State  rate of tax), 2-15 through 2-70, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3 (except

 8    Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as if those provisions  were
 9    set forth in this Section.
10        Persons  subject  to  any tax imposed under the authority
11    granted in this Section may reimburse  themselves  for  their
12    sellers'  tax  liability  by separately stating the tax as an
13    additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
14    in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
15    to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such  bracketed
16    schedules as the Department may prescribe.
17        Whenever  the  Department determines that a refund should
18    be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
19    credit memorandum, the  Department  shall  notify  the  State
20    Comptroller,  who  shall  cause the order to be drawn for the
21    amount specified and to the person named in the  notification
22    from  the  Department.  The refund shall be paid by the State
23    Treasurer  out  of  the  County  Public   Safety   Retailers'
24    Occupation Tax Fund.
25        (b)  If  a  tax  has been imposed under subsection (a), a
26    service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
27    upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the  business  of
28    making  sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
29    sales of service, transfer tangible personal property  within
30    the  county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
31    not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is
32    to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other  than
33    alcoholic  beverages,  soft  drinks,  and  food  prepared for
34    immediate consumption) and prescription and  non-prescription

 2    testing  materials,  syringes, and needles used by diabetics.
 3    The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties
 4    that  may  be  assessed  as  an  incident  thereof  shall  be
 5    collected and enforced by  the  Department  of  Revenue.  The
 6    Department  has  full  power  to  administer and enforce this
 7    subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder;
 8    to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in the  manner
 9    hereinafter  provided;  and to determine all rights to credit
10    memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment of  tax
11    or   penalty  hereunder.    In  the  administration  of,  and
12    compliance with this subsection, the Department  and  persons
13    who  are  subject  to  this paragraph shall (i) have the same
14    rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties,
15    (ii)  be  subject  to  the  same  conditions,   restrictions,
16    limitations,    penalties,    exclusions,   exemptions,   and
17    definitions of terms, and (iii)  employ  the  same  modes  of
18    procedure  as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2 (except that
19    the  reference  to  State  in  the  definition  of   supplier
20    maintaining  a place of business in this State shall mean the
21    county), 2a, 2b, 2c,  3  through  3-50  (in  respect  to  all
22    provisions  therein  other  than  the  State  rate of tax), 4
23    (except that the reference to  the  State  shall  be  to  the
24    county),  5,  7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which the
25    tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in that Section 8
26    shall be the county), 9 (except  as  to  the  disposition  of
27    taxes  and  penalties collected, and except that the returned
28    merchandise credit for this tax may not be taken against  any
29    State  tax),  10,  11,  12  (except  the reference therein to
30    Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13  (except
31    that  any  reference to the State shall mean the county), the
32    first paragraph of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20  of  the
33    Service  Occupation  Tax  Act  and Section 3-7 of the Uniform

 2        Persons  subject  to  any tax imposed under the authority

20    engaging in any business which under the Constitution of  the
21    United  States may not be made the subject of taxation by the

 4    a different taxing body, and  not  including  (i)  an  amount
 5    equal  to  the  amount  of  refunds  made  during  the second
 6    preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf  of  the
 7    county  and (ii) any amount that the Department determines is
 8    necessary to offset  any  amounts  that  were  payable  to  a
 9    different  taxing  body  but  were  erroneously  paid  to the
10    county.  Within 10 days after receipt by the  Comptroller  of
11    the  disbursement  certification to the counties provided for
12    in this Section  to  be  given  to  the  Comptroller  by  the
13    Department,  the  Comptroller  shall  cause  the orders to be
14    drawn  for  the  respective  amounts   in   accordance   with
15    directions contained in the certification.
16        In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
17    paragraph,  an allocation shall be made in March of each year
18    to  each  county  that  received  more   than   $500,000   in
19    disbursements  under the preceding paragraph in the preceding
20    calendar year.  The allocation shall be in an amount equal to
21    the average monthly distribution made  to  each  such  county
22    under  the  preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar
23    year (excluding the  2  months  of  highest  receipts).   The
24    distribution  made  in  March  of each year subsequent to the
25    year in  which  an  allocation  was  made  pursuant  to  this
26    paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
27    amount  allocated  and  disbursed under this paragraph in the
28    preceding calendar year.  The Department  shall  prepare  and
29    certify  to  the Comptroller for disbursement the allocations
30    made in accordance with this paragraph.
31        (d)  For   the   purpose   of   determining   the   local
32    governmental unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a
33    producer of coal or another mineral mined in  Illinois  is  a
34    sale  at  retail at the place where the coal or other mineral
                            -12-             LRB9011620KDksam
 1    mined  in  Illinois  is  extracted  from  the  earth.    This
 2    paragraph  does  not apply to coal or another mineral when it
 3    is delivered or shipped by the seller to the purchaser  at  a
 4    point  outside  Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the
 5    United States Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign
 6    commerce.
 7        (e)  Nothing  in  this  Section  shall  be  construed  to
 8    authorize a county to impose a  tax  upon  the  privilege  of
 9    engaging  in  any business that under the Constitution of the
10    United States may not be made the subject of taxation by this
11    State.
12        (e-5)  If a county imposes a tax under this Section,  the
13    county board may, by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate
14    of  the  tax.   If  the  county  board lowers the tax rate or
15    discontinues the tax, a referendum must be held in accordance
16    with subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase  the
17    rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.
18        (f)  Beginning April 1, 1998, the results of any election
19    authorizing  a proposition to impose a tax under this Section
20    or effecting a change in the rate of tax,  or  any  ordinance
21    lowering   the  rate  or  discontinuing  the  tax,  shall  be
22    certified by the county clerk and  filed  with  the  Illinois
23    Department  of  Revenue either (i) on or before the first day
24    of  April,  whereupon  the  Department   shall   proceed   to
25    administer  and  enforce  the tax as of the first day of July
26    next following the filing; or (ii) on or before the first day
27    of  October,  whereupon  the  Department  shall  proceed   to
28    administer and enforce the tax as of the first day of January
29    next  following  the  filing.  on  or before the first day of
30    June. The Illinois Department of Revenue shall  then  proceed
31    to  administer  and enforce this Section or to lower the rate
32    or discontinue the tax, as the case may be, as of  the  first
33    day of January next following the filing.
34        (g)  When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement
                            -13-             LRB9011620KDksam
 1    to a county under this Section, the Department shall increase
 2    or  decrease the amounts by an amount necessary to offset any
 3    miscalculation of previous disbursements.  The offset  amount
 4    shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
 5    6 months from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
 6        (h)  This  Section  may  be  cited as the "Special County
 7    Occupation Tax For Public Safety Law".

 5    which is taxable under any ordinance  or  resolution  enacted
 6    pursuant  to this Section without registering separately with
 7    the Department under such ordinance or  resolution  or  under

 1        No tax may be imposed by a home rule county  pursuant  to
 2    this  Section  unless  such  county also imposes a tax at the
 3    same rate pursuant to Section 5-1006.
 4        Persons subject  to  any  tax  imposed  pursuant  to  the
 5    authority  granted  in  this Section may reimburse themselves
 6    for their serviceman's tax liability hereunder by  separately
 7    stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be
 8    stated  in  combination,  in  a single amount, with State tax
 9    which servicemen are authorized to collect under the  Service
10    Use  Tax  Act,  pursuant  to  such  bracket  schedules as the
11    Department may prescribe.
12        Whenever the Department determines that a  refund  should
13    be  made  under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing
14    credit memorandum, the  Department  shall  notify  the  State
15    Comptroller,  who  shall  cause the order to be drawn for the
16    amount  specified,  and  to  the  person   named,   in   such
17    notification  from  the Department. Such refund shall be paid
18    by the State Treasurer out of the home rule county retailers'
19    occupation tax fund.
20        The Department shall forthwith  pay  over  to  the  State
21    Treasurer,  ex-officio,  as  trustee, all taxes and penalties
22    collected hereunder. On  or  before  the  25th  day  of  each
23    calendar  month,  the Department shall prepare and certify to
24    the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of  money  to
25    named counties, the counties to be those from which suppliers
26    and  servicemen have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the
27    Department during the second preceding calendar  month.   The
28    amount  to  be  paid  to each county shall be the amount (not
29    including credit memoranda) collected  hereunder  during  the
30    second  preceding  calendar  month by the Department, and not
31    including an amount equal  to  the  amount  of  refunds  made
32    during  the second preceding calendar month by the Department
33    on behalf of such county.  Within 10 days after  receipt,  by
34    the  Comptroller,  of  the  disbursement certification to the
                            -16-             LRB9011620KDksam
 1    counties provided for in this Section  to  be  given  to  the
 2    Comptroller  by  the  Department, the Comptroller shall cause
 3    the  orders  to  be  drawn  for  the  respective  amounts  in
 4    accordance   with   the   directions   contained   in    such
 5    certification.
 6        In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
 7    paragraph,  an  allocation shall be made in each year to each
 8    county which received more  than  $500,000  in  disbursements
 9    under the preceding paragraph in the preceding calendar year.
10    The  allocation  shall  be  in an amount equal to the average
11    monthly distribution made  to  each  such  county  under  the
12    preceding   paragraph  during  the  preceding  calendar  year
13    (excluding  the  2  months   of   highest   receipts).    The
14    distribution  made  in  March  of each year subsequent to the
15    year in  which  an  allocation  was  made  pursuant  to  this
16    paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
17    amount  allocated  and  disbursed under this paragraph in the
18    preceding calendar year.  The Department  shall  prepare  and
19    certify  to  the Comptroller for disbursement the allocations
20    made in accordance with this paragraph.
21        Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
22    county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in  any
23    business  which  under  the Constitution of the United States
24    may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.

 6    rate thereof shall be adopted and a  certified  copy  thereof
 7    filed  with  the  Department  on  or  before the first day of
 8    October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
 9    and enforce this Section as of the first day of January  next
10    following such adoption and filing.  Beginning April 1, 1998,

10    the monthly distribution made to each such municipality under
11    the preceding paragraph during this period, excluding  the  2
12    months   of  highest  receipts.   The  distribution  made  in

14    and  the  preceding  paragraph shall be reduced by the amount
15    allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding

17    prepare  and  certify to the Comptroller for disbursement the
18    allocations made in accordance with this paragraph.

24    not  apply  to  coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
25    shipped by the seller to the purchaser  at  a  point  outside
26    Illinois  so  that the sale is exempt under the United States
27    Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce.

19    shall  be  collected  from  the purchaser by the municipality
20    imposing such tax.

22    rule municipality  of  tangible  personal  property  that  is
23    acquired  outside  the  municipality and caused to be brought
24    into the municipality by a person who has already paid a home
25    rule municipal tax in another municipality in respect to  the
26    sale,  purchase,  or use of that property, shall be exempt to
27    the extent of the amount of the tax properly due and paid  in
28    the other home rule municipality.
29        (c)  If   a   municipality   having   2,000,000  or  more
30    inhabitants imposes the tax  authorized  by  subsection  (a),
31    then the tax shall be collected by the Illinois Department of
32    Revenue  when  the  property  is  purchased  at retail from a
33    retailer in the county in which the  home  rule  municipality
34    imposing  the tax is located, and in all contiguous counties.

 1    The tax shall be remitted  to  the  State,  or  an  exemption
 2    determination must be obtained from the Department before the
 3    title  or certificate of registration for the property may be
 4    issued.  The tax or proof of exemption may be transmitted  to
 5    the  Department  by  way  of  the State agency with which, or
 6    State officer with whom, the tangible personal property  must
 7    be  titled or registered if the Department and that agency or
 8    State officer determine that this procedure will expedite the
 9    processing of applications for title or registration.

11    enforce  this  Section  to  collect  all taxes, penalties and

14    determine  all  rights to credit memoranda or refunds arising
15    on account of  the  erroneous  payment  of  tax,  penalty  or
16    interest  hereunder.  In the administration of and compliance
17    with this Section the Department and persons who are  subject
18    to  this  Section  shall  have  the  same  rights,  remedies,
19    privileges,  immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to
20    the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
21    definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of  procedure
22    as  are  prescribed  in  Sections 2 (except the definition of
23    "retailer maintaining a place of business in this State"),  3
24    (except  provisions  pertaining to the State rate of tax, and
25    except provisions concerning collection or refunding  of  the
26    tax  by retailers), 4, 11, 12, 12a, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21 and 22

28    Section,  as  fully  as  if  provisions  contained  in  those
29    Sections of the Use Tax Act were set forth herein.

31    made  under  this  Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
32    credit memorandum, the  Department  shall  notify  the  State
33    Comptroller,  who  shall  cause the order to be drawn for the
34    amount  specified,  and  to  the  person   named,   in   such

 3    retailers' occupation tax fund.
 4        The  Department  shall  forthwith  pay  over to the State
 5    Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes,  penalties  and
 6    interest  collected  hereunder.  On or before the 25th day of
 7    each calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify
 8    to the State Comptroller the disbursement of stated  sums  of
 9    money  to  named  municipalities,  the  municipality  in each
10    instance to be that municipality from  which  the  Department
11    during   the   second  preceding  calendar  month,  collected
12    municipal use tax from any person whose Illinois address  for
13    titling  or  registration  purposes is given as being in such
14    municipality.  The amount to be  paid  to  each  municipality
15    shall   be   the  amount  (not  including  credit  memoranda)
16    collected hereunder  during  the  second  preceding  calendar
17    month by the Department, and not including an amount equal to
18    the  amount  of  refunds  made  during  the  second preceding
19    calendar  month  by  the  Department  on   behalf   of   such
20    municipality,  less  the  amount  expended  during the second
21    preceding month  by  the  Department  to  be  paid  from  the
22    appropriation  to the Department from the Home Rule Municipal
23    Retailers' Occupation Tax Trust Fund.  The  appropriation  to
24    cover  the  costs incurred by the Department in administering
25    and enforcing this Section shall not exceed 2% of the  amount
26    estimated  to  be  deposited  into  the  Home  Rule Municipal
27    Retailers' Occupation Tax Trust Fund during the  fiscal  year
28    for  which  the  appropriation is made.  Within 10 days after
29    receipt  by  the  State  Comptroller  of   the   disbursement
30    certification  to  the  municipalities  provided  for in this
31    Section  to  be  given  to  the  State  Comptroller  by   the
32    Department,  the  State Comptroller shall cause the orders to
33    be drawn for the respective amounts in  accordance  with  the
34    directions contained in that certification.
