 1        AN  ACT  to  amend  the  Motor  Fuel  Tax Law by changing
 2    Sections 1.2 and 1.14.

 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section 5.  The Motor Fuel Tax Law is amended by changing
 6    Sections 1.2 and 1.14 as follows:

 7        (35 ILCS 505/1.2) (from Ch. 120, par. 417.2)
 8        Sec.  1.2. Distributor. "Distributor" means  a person who
 9    either produces, refines, blends, compounds  or  manufactures
10    motor  fuel in this State, or transports motor fuel into this
11    State or receives motor fuel transported to him from  without
12    the State.
13        "Distributor"  does  not,  however,  include a person who
14    receives or transports into this  State  and  sells  or  uses
15    motor   fuel   under   such  circumstances  as  preclude  the
16    collection of the  tax  herein  imposed,  by  reason  of  the
17    provisions  of  the  constitution  and statutes of the United
18    States. However, a person operating a motor vehicle into  the
19    State,  may  transport  in the ordinary fuel tank attached to
20    the motor vehicle, not more  than  twenty  gallons  of  motor
21    fuel,  for  the operation of the motor vehicle, without being
22    considered a distributor. Any railroad  licensed  as  a  bulk
23    user  and  registered  under Section 18c-7201 of the Illinois
24    Vehicle Code may deliver special fuel directly into the  fuel
25    supply tank of a locomotive owned, operated, or controlled by
26    any  other  railroad registered under Section 18c-7201 of the
27    Illinois Vehicle Code without being considered a distributor.

 1        Sec. 1.14.  Supplier. "Supplier" means any  person  other
 2    than  a licensed distributor who transports special fuel into
 3    this State or receives special fuel transported to  him  from
 4    outside the State.
 5        "Supplier"  does  not,  however,  include  a  person  who
 6    receives  or  transports  into  this  State and sells or uses
 7    special  fuel  under  such  circumstances  as  preclude   the
 8    collection  of  the  tax  herein  imposed,  by  reason of the
 9    provisions of the Constitution and laws of the United States.
10    However, a person operating a motor vehicle into  the  State,
11    may transport special fuel in the ordinary fuel tank attached
12    to  the  motor vehicle for the operation of the motor vehicle
13    without being considered a supplier. Any railroad licensed as
14    a bulk user and registered  under  Section  18c-7201  of  the
15    Illinois  Vehicle Code may deliver special fuel directly into
16    the fuel supply tank of  a  locomotive  owned,  operated,  or

18    18c-7201  of  the  Illinois  Vehicle   Code   without   being
19    considered a supplier.
