    AN ACT concerning local government.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  



 
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended  by 
changing Sections 8-11-1.3, 8-11-1.4, and 8-11-1.5 as follows:
 



    (65 ILCS 5/8-11-1.3)  (from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-1.3)


    Sec. 8-11-1.3. Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers' 
Occupation Tax Act. The corporate authorities of a non-home 
rule municipality may impose
a tax upon all persons engaged in 
the business of selling tangible
personal property, other than 
on an item of tangible personal property
which is titled and 
registered by an agency of this State's Government,
at retail 
in the municipality for expenditure on
public infrastructure or 
for property tax relief or both as defined in
Section 8-11-1.2 
if approved by
referendum as provided in Section 8-11-1.1, of 
the gross receipts from such
sales made in the course of such 
business.
If the tax is approved by referendum on or after July 
14, 2010 (the effective date of Public Act 96-1057), the 
corporate authorities of a non-home rule municipality may, 
until December 31, 2020 December 31, 2015, use the proceeds of 
the tax for expenditure on municipal operations, in addition to 
or in lieu of any expenditure on public infrastructure or for 
property tax relief. The tax imposed may not be more than 1% 
and may be imposed only in
1/4% increments. The tax may not be 
imposed on the sale of food for human
consumption that is
to be 
consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than 
alcoholic
beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been 
prepared for immediate
consumption) and prescription and 
nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical
appliances, and 
insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used by

diabetics.
The tax imposed by a
municipality pursuant to this 
Section and all civil penalties that may be
assessed as an 
incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
State 
Department of Revenue.  The certificate of registration which is

issued by the Department to a retailer under the Retailers' 
Occupation Tax
Act shall permit such retailer to engage in a 
business which is taxable
under any ordinance or resolution 
enacted pursuant to
this Section without registering 
separately with the Department under
such ordinance or 
resolution or under this Section.  The Department
shall have 
full power to administer and enforce this Section; to collect

all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and 
penalties
so collected in the manner hereinafter provided, and 
to determine all
rights to credit memoranda, arising on account 
of the erroneous payment
of tax or penalty hereunder.  In the 
administration of, and compliance
with, this Section, the 
Department and persons who are subject to this
Section shall 
have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers 
and duties, and be subject to the same conditions, 
restrictions,
limitations, penalties and definitions of terms, 
and employ the same
modes of procedure, as are prescribed in 
Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e,
1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65 (in 
respect to all provisions therein other than
the State rate of 
tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes and

penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 
5j, 5k, 5l,
6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the 
Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform 
Penalty and Interest
Act as fully as if those provisions were 
set forth herein.

    No municipality may impose a tax under this Section unless 
the municipality
also imposes a tax at the same rate under 
Section 8-11-1.4 of this Code.

    Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the 
authority granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for 
their seller's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating 
such tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be stated in 
combination, in a single amount,
with State tax which sellers 
are required to collect under the Use Tax
Act, pursuant to such 
bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.

    Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be 
made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a 
credit memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State 
Comptroller, who shall cause the
order to be drawn for the 
amount specified, and to the person named,
in such notification 
from the Department.  Such refund shall be paid by
the State 
Treasurer out of the non-home rule municipal retailers'

occupation tax fund.

    The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State 
Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties 
collected hereunder.  
    As soon as possible after the first day of each month, 
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the Department 
of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the 
Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the 
local sales tax increment, as defined in the Innovation 
Development and Economy Act, collected under this Section 
during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a 
STAR bond district.
    After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, 
on or
before the 25th day of each calendar month, the 
Department shall
prepare and certify to the Comptroller the 
disbursement of stated sums
of money to named municipalities, 
the municipalities to be those from
which retailers have paid 
taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department
during the 
second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each

municipality shall be the amount (not including credit 
memoranda) collected
hereunder during the second preceding 
calendar month by the Department plus
an amount the Department 
determines is necessary to offset any amounts
which were 
erroneously paid to a different taxing body,  and not including

an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the second 
preceding
calendar month by the Department on behalf of such 
municipality, and not
including any amount which the Department 
determines is necessary to offset
any amounts which were 
payable to a different taxing body but were
erroneously paid to 
the municipality, and not including any amounts that are 
transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund. Within 10 days 
after receipt, by the
Comptroller, of the disbursement 
certification to the municipalities,
provided for in this 
Section to be given to the Comptroller by the
Department, the 
Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the

respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained 
in such
certification.

    For the purpose of determining the local governmental unit 
whose tax
is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer of coal 
or other mineral
mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail at the 
place where the coal or
other mineral mined in Illinois is 
extracted from the earth.  This
paragraph does not apply to coal 
or other mineral when it is delivered
or shipped by the seller 
to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so
that the sale 
is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in

interstate or foreign commerce.

    Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a

municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in 
any
business which under the constitution of the United States 
may not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.

    When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a 
municipality
under this Section, the Department shall increase 
or decrease such amount
by an amount necessary to offset any 
misallocation of previous
disbursements. The offset amount 
shall be the amount erroneously disbursed
within the previous 6 
months from the time a misallocation is discovered.

    The Department of Revenue shall implement this amendatory 
Act of the 91st
General Assembly so as to collect the tax on 
and after January 1, 2002.

    As used in this Section, "municipal" and "municipality" 
means a city,
village or incorporated town, including an 
incorporated town which has
superseded a civil township.

    This Section shall be known and may be cited as the 
"Non-Home Rule
Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax Act".

    Sec. 8-11-1.4. Non-Home Rule Municipal Service Occupation 
Tax Act. The
corporate authorities of a non-home rule

making sales of service for 
expenditure on
public infrastructure or for property tax relief 
or both as defined in
Section 8-11-1.2 if approved by

referendum as provided in Section 8-11-1.1, of the selling 
price of
all tangible personal property transferred by such 
servicemen either in
the form of tangible personal property or 
in the form of real estate as
an incident to a sale of service.

If the tax is approved by referendum on or after July 14, 2010 
(the effective date of Public Act 96-1057), the corporate 
authorities of a non-home rule municipality may, until December 
31, 2020 December 31, 2015, use the proceeds of the tax for 
expenditure on municipal operations, in addition to or in lieu 
of any expenditure on public infrastructure or for property tax 
relief. The tax imposed may not be more than 1% and may be 
imposed only in
1/4% increments. The tax may not be imposed on 
the sale of food for human
consumption that is
to be consumed 
off the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic

beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been prepared for 
immediate
consumption) and prescription and nonprescription 
medicines, drugs, medical
appliances, and insulin, urine 
testing materials, syringes, and needles used by
diabetics.
The 
tax imposed by a municipality
pursuant to this Section and all 
civil penalties that may be assessed as
an incident thereof 
shall be collected and enforced by the State
Department of 
Revenue. The certificate of registration which is issued
by the 
Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax

Act or under the Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit
such 
registrant to engage in a business which is taxable under any

ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section 
without
registering separately with the Department under such 
ordinance or
resolution or under this Section. The Department 
shall have full power
to administer and enforce this Section; 
to collect all taxes and
penalties due hereunder; to dispose of 
taxes and penalties so collected
in the manner hereinafter 
provided, and to determine all rights to
credit memoranda 
arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or
penalty 
hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this

Section the Department and persons who are subject to this 
Section
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, 
immunities, powers and
duties, and be subject to the same 
conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties and 
definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,

as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in 
respect to
all provisions therein other than the State rate of 
tax), 4 (except that
the reference to the State shall be to the 
taxing municipality), 5, 7, 8
(except that the jurisdiction to 
which the tax shall be a debt to the
extent indicated in that 
Section 8 shall be the taxing municipality), 9
(except as to 
the disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except

that the returned merchandise credit for this municipal tax may 
not be
taken against any State tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the 
reference therein to
Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation 
Tax Act), 13 (except that any
reference to the State shall mean 
the taxing municipality), the first
paragraph of Section 15, 
16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service Occupation
Tax Act and 
Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully

as if those provisions were set forth herein.

    No municipality may impose a tax under this Section unless 
the municipality
also imposes a tax at the same rate under 
Section 8-11-1.3 of this Code.

    Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the 
authority granted
in this Section may reimburse themselves for 
their serviceman's tax
liability hereunder by separately 
stating such tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be 
stated in combination, in a single amount,
with State tax which 
servicemen are authorized to collect under the
Service Use Tax 
Act, pursuant to such bracket schedules as the
Department may 
prescribe.

    Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be 
made under
this Section to a claimant instead of issuing credit 
memorandum, the
Department shall notify the State Comptroller, 
who shall cause the
order to be drawn for the amount specified, 
and to the person named,
in such notification from the 
Department. Such refund shall be paid by
the State Treasurer 
out of the municipal retailers' occupation tax fund.

    The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State 
Treasurer,
ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties 
collected hereunder. 
    As soon as possible after the first day of each month, 
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the Department 
of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the 
Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the 
local sales tax increment, as defined in the Innovation 
Development and Economy Act, collected under this Section 
during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a 
STAR bond district.
    After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, 
on
or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the 
Department shall
prepare and certify to the Comptroller the 
disbursement of stated sums
of money to named municipalities, 
the municipalities to be those from
which suppliers and 
servicemen have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to
the 
Department during the second preceding calendar month. The 
amount
to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount (not 
including credit
memoranda) collected hereunder during the 
second preceding calendar
month by the Department, and not 
including an amount equal to the amount
of refunds made during 
the second preceding calendar month by the
Department on behalf 
of such municipality, and not including any amounts that are 
transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund. Within 10 days

after receipt, by the Comptroller, of the disbursement 
certification to
the municipalities and the General Revenue 
Fund, provided for in this
Section to be given to the 
Comptroller by the Department, the
Comptroller shall cause the 
orders to be drawn for the respective
amounts in accordance 
with the directions contained in such
certification.

    The Department of Revenue shall implement this amendatory 
Act of the 91st
General Assembly so as to collect the tax on 
and after January 1, 2002.

    Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a

municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in 
any
business which under the constitution of the United States 
may not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.

    As used in this Section, "municipal" or "municipality" 
means or refers to
a city, village or incorporated town, 
including an incorporated town which
