        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                 
          Adds reference to:                                                   
          35 ILCS 630/2                   from Ch. 120, par. 2002              
          35 ILCS 635/10                                                       
          50 ILCS 750/15.3                from Ch. 134, par. 45.3              
          65 ILCS 5/8-11-2                from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-2             
        Deletes everything after the enacting clause.  Creates the Mobile      
   Telecommunications Sourcing Conformity Act.  Provides  that  taxes  on      
   mobile  telecommunications services shall be collected and remitted to      
   the jurisdiction where the customer's  primary  use  of  the  services      
   occurs,  irrespective  of where the mobile telecommunications services      
   originate, terminate, or pass through.  Defines "place of primary use"      
   as the street address representative of where the  customer's  use  of      
   the  mobile telecommunications service primarily occurs, which must be      
   (i) the residential street address  or  the  primary  business  street      
   address  of  the customer and (ii) within the licensed service area of      
   the home service provider.  Establishes mechanisms  by  which  a  home      
   service  provider  of mobile telecommunications services may establish      
   the taxing jurisdictions of a given street  address.    Provides  that      
   this  Act applies to customer bills issued on or after August 1, 2002.      
   Amends the Telecommunications Excise Tax Act,  the  Telecommunications      
   Municipal  Infrastructure Maintenance Fee Act, the Emergency Telephone      
   System Act, and the privilege and  occupation  tax  provision  of  the      
   Illinois Municipal Code.  Provides that as used in these Acts and this      
   provision,  with  respect  to  wireless  telecommunications,  "service      
   address"  means  the customer's place of primary use as defined in the      
   Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Conformity Act.   Effective  August      
   1, 2002.                                                                    
        HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 2.                                                 
        Removes language providing that the procedures and  remedies  set      
   forth  in  the  Act for customer complaints are the sole and exclusive      
   remedy available to the customer and replaces it with provisions  that      
   these  procedures  shall  be  the  first course of remedy available to      
   customers, and that no cause of action based upon  a  dispute  arising      
   from  these  complaints  or  fees  shall  accrue  until a customer has      
   reasonably exercised these rights and procedures.
