Provides that when a public utility initially provides to a customer a service that is taxed as an occupation or privilege under the Illinois Municipal Code, that public utility must confirm whether the customer's use or consumption of the service will take place within the corporate limits of a municipality or, in the case of messages transmitted by means of electricity or radio magnetic waves or fiber optics, whether the origination of the message will take place within the corporate limits of a municipality. If the use or consumption or the origination of the message does not take place within a particular municipality, then that municipality may not impose a tax and the public utility may not collect a tax from the customer on behalf of the municipality under these provisions or a home rule power. Provides that each bill sent to a customer for any item subject to an occupation or privilege tax under the Illinois Municipal Code or subject to that type of tax under a home rule power must contain a notice, in bold print, stating that the municipal tax should be imposed only on persons based on use or consumption within the corporate limits of the municipality or, in the case of the messages tax, the origination of the message within the corporate limits of the municipality. The notice must state that any person who believes he or she is not subject to the tax should notify the municipality. The municipality must investigate and correct any errors promptly. Effective immediately.
