13having previously certified that the physician in charge of the
14patient's care for the illness or condition that resulted in
15death has been contacted and has affirmatively stated that he

5permit for disposition of such dead human body prior to final
6disposition or removal from the State of the body or fetus.
7Such permit shall be issued by the registrar of the district
8where death occurred or the body or fetus was found. No such
9permit shall be issued until a properly completed certificate
10of death has been filed with the registrar. The registrar shall
11insure the issuance of a permit for disposition within an
12expedited period of time to accommodate Sunday or holiday
13burials of decedents whose time of death and religious tenets
14or beliefs necessitate Sunday or holiday burials.

20    (5) A permit for disposition of a dead human body shall be
21required prior to disinterment of a dead body or fetus, and
22when the disinterred body is to be shipped by a common carrier.
23Such permit shall be issued to a licensed funeral director or
24person acting as such, upon proper application, by the local
25registrar of the district in which disinterment is to be made.
26In the case of disinterment, proper application shall include a

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 78 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

3the deceased, or if no surviving spouse or children, a parent,
4brother, or sister of the deceased. The application shall
5indicate whether the applicant is one of these parties and, if
6so, whether the applicant is a surviving spouse or a surviving
7child. Prior to the issuance of a permit for disinterment, the
8local registrar shall, by certified mail, notify the surviving
9spouse, unless he or she is the applicant, or if there is no
10surviving spouse, all surviving children except for the
11applicant, of the application for the permit. The person or
12persons notified shall have 30 days from the mailing of the
13notice to object by obtaining an injunction enjoining the
14issuance of the permit. After the 30-day period has expired,
15the local registrar shall issue the permit unless he or she has
16been enjoined from doing so or there are other statutory
17grounds for refusal. The notice to the spouse or surviving
18children shall inform the person or persons being notified of
19the right to seek an injunction within 30 days. Notwithstanding
20any other provision of this subsection (5), a court may order
21issuance of a permit for disinterment without notice or prior
22to the expiration of the 30-day period where the petition is
23made by an agency of any governmental unit and good cause is
24shown for disinterment without notice or for the early order.

9    Department shall contact the Director of Revenue to
10    initiate proceedings against the recipient to recover
11    wrongfully exempted Illinois State income taxes and the
12    recipient shall promptly repay to the Department of Revenue

14    numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
15    1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
16    not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
17    taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
18    any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
19    other than the year in which the property was placed in
20    service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
21    December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
22    credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
23    property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
24    credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
25    exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
26    amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 126 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
2    excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
3    which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
4    equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
5    enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
6    Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
7    Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
8    Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
9    complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and
10    (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
11    Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
12    Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
13    such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
14    after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
15    the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
16    or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
17    for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
18    the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
19    forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
20    years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
21    be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
22    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
23    that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
24    shall be applied first.
25        (2) The term "qualified property" means property
26    which:

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 127 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
2        buildings and structural components of buildings and
3        signs that are real property, but not including land or
4        improvements to real property that are not a structural
5        component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
6        lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
7        other appurtenances;
8            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
9        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
10        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
11        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
12        (e);
13            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
14        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
15            (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
16        primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
17        or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
18        on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
19        Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
20        Redevelopment Zone Act; and
21            (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
22        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
23        the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
24        subsection (f).
25        (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
26    "manufacturing" means the material staging and production

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 128 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
2    regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
3    assembling which changes some existing material into new
4    shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
5    this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
6    meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
7    Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
8    the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
9    property for use or consumption and not for resale, or
10    services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
11    personal property for use or consumption and not for
12    resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
13    personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
14    is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
15    taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
16    include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
17    electricity.
18        (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
19    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
20    income tax purposes.
21        (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
22    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
23    in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
24    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
25    date of such increase in basis.
26        (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 129 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
2        (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
3    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
4    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
5    any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
6    months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
7    Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
8    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
9    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
10    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
11    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
12    computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
13    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
14    purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
15    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
16    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
17    property to the extent of such reduction.
18        (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
19    the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
20    incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
21    pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
22    December 31, 2018.
23        (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
24    a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
25    credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
26    subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 130 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
2    against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
3    Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
4    credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
5    partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
6    Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
7    promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
8    the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
9    taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on
10    its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
11    that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
12    shall be irrevocable.
13        For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
14    a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
15    under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
16    of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
17    S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
18    paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
19    allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
20    share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
21    the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
22    corporation, determined in accordance with the
23    determination of income and distributive share of income
24    under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
25    Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions

7    Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
8    or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
9    established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone
10    Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
11    corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
12    if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
13    purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
14    be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
15    determined in accordance with the determination of income
16    and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
17    and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
18    shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
19    shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
20    property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
21    River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
22    the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
23    the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
24    to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
25    31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
26    which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 132 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
2    whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
3    as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
4    applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
5    following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
6    applied to the earliest year for which there is a
7    liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
8    that is available to offset a liability, the credit
9    accruing first in time shall be applied first.
10        (2) The term qualified property means property which:
11            (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
12        buildings and structural components of buildings;
13            (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
14        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
15        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
16        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
17        (f);
18            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
19        179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
20            (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
21        Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
22            (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
23        such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
24        the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
25        subsection (e).
26        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 133 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

2    income tax purposes.
3        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
4    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
5    in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
6    Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
7    increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
8    date of such increase in basis.
9        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
10    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
11        (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
12    be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
13    48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
14    any qualified property is moved outside the Enterprise Zone
15    or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
16    being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
17    (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
18    increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
19    recomputing the investment credit which would have been
20    allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
21    originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
22    computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
23    from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
24    purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
25    qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
26    purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 134 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    property to the extent of such reduction.
2        (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
3    to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
4    service during the taxable year in a River Edge
5    Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
6    service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
7    employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
8    the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
9    employment records filed with the Illinois Department of
10    Employment Security. Taxpayers who are new to Illinois
11    shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
12    employment for the first year in which they file employment
13    records with the Illinois Department of Employment
14    Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
15    within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
16    the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
17    times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
18    denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

26    taxable year in which such investments have been completed.

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 138 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    The credit for additional investments beyond the minimum
2    investment by a designated high impact business authorized

10    for the tax year in which the property is placed in
11    service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
12    liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
13    liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
14    may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
15    the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
16    credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
17    there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
18    tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
19    credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.

09800SB0020ham002- 139 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1        Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
2        as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
3        eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
4        (h);
5            (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section

9        Section.
10        (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
11    used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal

13        (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
14    depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
15    in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or

17    such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
18    the date of such increase in basis.
19        (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
20    meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.

1    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
2    year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
3    by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
4    been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
5    was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
6    such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
7    credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
8    the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
9    basis of qualified property resulting from a
10    redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
11    disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
12    reduction.
13        (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
14    1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
15    subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
16    the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
17    the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
18    18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
19    subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased

21    facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit
22    received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).

24Tax. For tax years ending prior to December 31, 2003, a credit
25shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and

09800SB0020ham002- 141 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
2multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
3Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
4allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
5base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
6rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
7    Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
8subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
9because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
10and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
11liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
12forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
13(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
14year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
15year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
16applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
17liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
18than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
19earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
20first.
21    If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,
221986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
23Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
24subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
25shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
26recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 142 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
2reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
3taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable

17will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
18taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
19taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
20applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
21payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
22average monthly liability to the Department during the
23preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
24highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
25than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
26to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 159 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

14 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
2$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
3substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
4which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
5monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
6will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
7taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
8taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
9taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
10seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
11quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
12amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
13liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
14minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
15payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
16taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
17Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
18provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
19rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
20amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
21on other than a calendar monthly basis.
22    If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
23the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
24Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
25Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
26the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 160 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
2memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
3in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
4taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
5similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
6Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
7in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
8prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
9payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
10after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
11unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
12the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
13liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
14Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
15the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
16accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
17the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
18all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
19taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
20be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
21credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
22liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
23    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
24return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
25the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
26authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 161 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1with the return for January, February, and March of a given
2year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
3April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
4year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
5year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
6for October, November and December of a given year being due by
7January 20 of the following year.
8    If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
9quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
10liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
11may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
12the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
13following year.
14    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
15substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
16returns.
17    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
18the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
19case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
20which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
21such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
22Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
23business.
24    In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
25aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
26an agency of this State, every retailer selling this kind of

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 162 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1tangible personal property shall file, with the Department,
2upon a form to be prescribed and supplied by the Department, a
3separate return for each such item of tangible personal
4property which the retailer sells, except that if, in the same
5transaction, (i) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
6vehicles or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
7watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer to another aircraft,
8watercraft, motor vehicle or trailer retailer for the purpose
9of resale or (ii) a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor
10vehicles, or trailers transfers more than one aircraft,
11watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer to a purchaser for use as
12a qualifying rolling stock as provided in Section 3-55 of this
13Act, then that seller may report the transfer of all the
14aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers involved in
15that transaction to the Department on the same uniform
16invoice-transaction reporting return form. For purposes of
17this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4
18watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration
19and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any boat equipped
20with an inboard motor.
21    The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
22vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
23agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
24Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
25Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
26and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 163 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
2property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
3traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
4which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
5of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
6trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
7tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
8amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
9such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
10due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
11fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
12identification of the property sold; such other information as
13is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
14such other information as the Department may reasonably
15require.
16    The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
17and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
18name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
19price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
20traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
21for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
22extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
23the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
24deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
25the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
26transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 164 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
2such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
3claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
4sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
5information as the Department may reasonably require.
6    Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
7than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
8being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
9than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
10return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
11that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
12Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
13officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
14titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
15if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
16that this procedure will expedite the processing of
17applications for title or registration.
18    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
19shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
20satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
21the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
22Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
23(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
24that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
25may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
26whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 165 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
2support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
3certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
4tangible personal property.
5    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
6Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
7retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
8evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
9is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
10paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
11Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
12mandate of this paragraph.
13    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
14wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
15tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
16retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
17paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
18of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
19being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
20the information required by the transaction reporting return
21and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
22the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
23determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
24and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
25credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
26with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 166 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
2the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
3same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
4if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
5    Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
6selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
7the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
8property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
9the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
10purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
11his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
12purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
13refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
14such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
15Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
16to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
17such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
18amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
19deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
20purchaser.
21    Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
22include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
23covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
24personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
25but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
26from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 167 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
2return.
3    If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
4Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
5return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
6returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
7Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
8Acts on the one form.
9    Where the retailer has more than one business registered
10with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
11such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
12return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
13separate returns for each such registered business.
14    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
15pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
16fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net
17revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on
18sales of food for human consumption which is to be consumed off
19the premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,

23materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics.

6pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
7fund in the State Treasury, 20% of the net revenue realized for
8the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling
9price of tangible personal property, other than tangible
10personal property which is purchased outside Illinois at retail
11from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency
12of this State's government.
13    Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
14pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the

20selling price of sales tax holiday items.
21    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

3pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to
4an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the
5net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of
6candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had
7been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that
8is now taxed at 6.25%.
9    Beginning July 1, 2011, each month the Department shall pay
10into the Clean Air Act (CAA) Permit Fund 80% of the net revenue
11realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on

6payments made pursuant to this paragraph.
7    Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
8pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the

6Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
7all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
8funds transfer.

6being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
7October, November and December of a given year being due by
8January 20 of the following year.
9    If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
10or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax
11liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
12may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
13the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
14following year.
15    Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
16substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
17returns.
18    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
19the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
20case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
21business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
22this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
23Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
24discontinuing such business.

1thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
2selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
3also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
4purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
5refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
6the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
7any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
8occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
9to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
10provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall
11previously have been remitted to the Department by such
12serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
13remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall be
14entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to
15the purchaser.
16    Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also include
17the total tax upon the selling price of tangible personal
18property purchased for use by him as an incident to a sale of
19service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of such tax
20to the Department when filing such return.
21    If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
22Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
23return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
24returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
25Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
26Acts on the one form.

21than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
22being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
23than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
24return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
25Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
26the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 227 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
2titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
3agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
4expedite the processing of applications for title or
5registration.
6    With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
7shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
8satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
9the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
10Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
11receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
12satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
13purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
14with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
15property that is involved (if titling or registration is
16required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
17Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
18to such tangible personal property.
19    No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
20Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
21retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
22evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
23is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
24paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
25Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
26mandate of this paragraph.

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 228 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
2wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
3the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
4retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
5paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
6of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
7being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
8the information required by the transaction reporting return
9and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
10the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
11determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
12and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
13credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
14with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
15provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
16the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
17same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
18if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
19    Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
20period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
21returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
22subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
23may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
24receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
25return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
26with respect to such receipts.

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 229 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
2behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
3vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
4accredited agent of such corporation.
5    Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
6filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
7signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
8the limited liability company.
9    Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
10return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
11return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
12Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
13on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
14whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
15retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
16preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
17data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
18to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
19which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
20retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
21transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
22shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
23such retailer files his periodic return.
24    Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
25tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
26Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax

2remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
3or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
4shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
5day of the month next following the month during which such tax
6liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
7on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
8during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
91, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
10Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
11Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
12liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
13with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
14preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
15with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
16next following the month during which such tax liability is
17incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
18the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
19liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
20liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
21payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
22actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
23Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
24of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
25calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
26the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the

1month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
2after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
3payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
4actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
5liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
6the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
7or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
8payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
9actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
10liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
11the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
12or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
13begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
14amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
15the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
16calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
17such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
181989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
19amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
20the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
21calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
22actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
23amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
24against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
25that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
26requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 232 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
2of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
3shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
4to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
5quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
6month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
7taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
8computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
9calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
10taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
11the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
12to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
13reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
14threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
15Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
16and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
17the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
18taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
19more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
20until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
21Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
22(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
23lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
24average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
25each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
26quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 233 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
2business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
3that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
4foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
5above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
6change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
7shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
8that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
9long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
10the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
11taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
12difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
13amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
14paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
15payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
16minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
17The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
18govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
19payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
20monthly basis.
21    The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
222001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
23quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
24is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
25prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
26excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 234 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
2required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
3Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
4month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
5during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to the
6effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985, each payment
7shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the taxpayer's
8actual liability under Section 2d. If the month during which
9such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
101986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the
11taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the
12taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
13preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
14liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
15payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
16actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
17liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
18The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
19against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
20that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
21may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
22quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
23paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
24prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
25calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
26monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 235 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
2interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
3previously made payments for that month in excess of the
4minimum payments previously due.
5    The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
61, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
7make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
8who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
9prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
10excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
11calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
12required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
13Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
14month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
15shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
16liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
17the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
18the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
19final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
20filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
21Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
22monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
23shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
24collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
25(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
26lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 236 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
2each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
3quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
4payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
5taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
6difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
7payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
8previously due.
9    If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
10taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
11Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
12shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
13requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
14memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
15credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
16the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
17Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
18in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
19prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
20taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
21subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
22the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
23Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
24regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
25subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
26taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 237 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
2of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
3due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
4interest on such difference.
5    If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
6Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
7to the Department under this Act for the month which the
8taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
9taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.
10    Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
11pay into the Local Government Tax Fund, a special fund in the
12State treasury which is hereby created, the net revenue
13realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax on sales of

5    municipality's land use and economic development policies
6    and goals. The acquisition of substitute property is
7    declared to be for public use. In exercising the powers

19    construction.
20        (k) To enter into agreements, including project
21    agreements with labor unions, that the Authority deems
22    necessary to complete the Expansion Project or any other

25    actions that might cause disruption or delay and thereby
26    add to the cost of the project.

2    of the convention facilities to large and small
3    conventions, meetings, and trade shows and the promotion of
4    the travel industry in the City of Chicago, provided such

20    (70 ILCS 210/5.4)
21    Sec. 5.4. Exhibitor rights and work rule reforms.
 
22(a) Legislative findings.
23        (1) The Authority is a political subdivision of the
24    State of Illinois subject to the plenary authority of the

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 321 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    General Assembly and was created for the benefit of the
2    general public to promote business, industry, commerce,
3    and tourism within the City of Chicago and the State of
4    Illinois.
5        (2) The Authority owns and operates McCormick Place and
6    Navy Pier, which have collectively 2.8 million square feet
7    of exhibit hall space, 700,000 square feet of meeting room
8    space.
9        (3) The Authority is a vital economic engine that
10    annually generates 65,000 jobs and $8 billion of economic
11    activity for the State of Illinois through the trade shows,
12    conventions, and other meetings held and attended at
13    McCormick Place and Navy Pier.
14        (4) The Authority supports the operation of McCormick
15    Place and Navy Pier through not only fees on the rental of
16    exhibit and meeting room space, electrical and utility
17    service, food and beverage services, and parking, but also
18    hotel room rates paid by persons staying at the
19    Authority-owned hotel.
20        (5) The Authority has a compelling and proprietary
21    interest in the success, competitiveness, and continued
22    viability of McCormick Place and Navy Pier as the owner and
23    operator of the convention facilities and its obligation to
24    ensure that these facilities produce sufficient operating
25    revenues.
26        (6) The Authority's convention facilities were

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 322 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    constructed and renovated through the issuance of public
2    bonds that are directly repaid by State hotel, auto rental,
3    food and beverage, and airport and departure taxes paid
4    principally by persons who attend, work at, exhibit, and
5    provide goods and services to conventions, shows,
6    exhibitions, and meetings at McCormick Place and Navy Pier.
7        (7) State law also dedicates State occupation and use
8    tax revenues to fulfill debt service obligations on these
9    bonds should State hotel, auto rental, food and beverage,
10    and airport and departure taxes fail to generate sufficient
11    revenue.
12        (8) Through fiscal year 2010, $55 million in State
13    occupation and use taxes will have been allocated to make
14    debt service payments on the Authority's bonds due to
15    shortfalls in State hotel, auto rental, food and beverage,
16    and airport and departure taxes. These shortfalls are
17    expected to continue in future fiscal years and would
18    require the annual dedication of approximately $40 million
19    in State occupation and use taxes to fulfill debt service
20    payments.
21        (9) In 2009, managers of the International Plastics
22    Showcase announced that 2009 was the last year they would
23    host their exhibition at McCormick Place, as they had since
24    1971, because union labor work rules and electric and food
25    service costs make it uneconomical for the show managers
26    and exhibitors to use McCormick Place as a convention venue

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 323 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    as compared to convention facilities in Orlando, Florida
2    and Las Vegas, Nevada. The exhibition used over 740,000
3    square feet of exhibit space, attracted over 43,000
4    attendees, generated $4.8 million of revenues to McCormick
5    Place, and raised over $200,000 in taxes to pay debt
6    service on convention facility bonds.
7        (10) After the International Plastics Showcase
8    exhibition announced its departure, other conventions and
9    exhibitions managers and exhibitors also stated that they
10    would not return to McCormick Place and Navy Pier for the
11    same reasons cited by the International Plastics Showcase
12    exhibition. In addition, still other managers and
13    exhibitors stated that they would not select McCormick
14    Place as a convention venue unless the union labor work
15    rules and electrical and food service costs were made
16    competitive with those in Orlando and Las Vegas.
17        (11) The General Assembly created the Joint Committee
18    on the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority to
19    conduct hearings and obtain facts to determine how union
20    labor work rules and electrical and food service costs make
21    McCormick Place and Navy Pier uneconomical as a convention
22    venue.
23        (12) Witness testimony and fact-gathering revealed
24    that while the skilled labor provided by trade unions at
25    McCormick Place and Navy Pier is second to none and is
26    actually "exported" to work on conventions and exhibitions

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 324 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    held in Orlando and Las Vegas, restrictive work rules on
2    the activities show exhibitors may perform present
3    exhibitors and show managers with an uninviting atmosphere
4    and result in significantly higher costs than competing
5    convention facilities.
6        (13) Witness testimony and fact-gathering also
7    revealed that the mark-up on electrical and food service
8    imposed by the Authority to generate operating revenue for
9    McCormick Place and Navy Pier also substantially increased
10    exhibitor and show organizer costs to the point of excess
11    when compared to competing convention facilities.
12        (14) Witness testimony and fact-gathering further
13    revealed that the additional departure of conventions,
14    exhibitions, and trade shows from Authority facilities
15    threatens the continued economic viability of these
16    facilities and the stability of sufficient tax revenues
17    necessary to support debt service.
18        (15) In order to safeguard the Authority's and State of
19    Illinois' shared compelling and proprietary interests in
20    McCormick Place and Navy Pier and in response to local
21    economic needs, the provisions contained in this Section
22    set forth mandated changes and reforms to restore and
23    ensure that (i) the Authority's facilities remain
24    economically competitive with other convention venues and
25    (ii) conventions, exhibitions, trade shows, and other
26    meetings are attracted to and retained at Authority

 

 

09800SB0020ham002- 325 -LRB098 04192 HLH 46677 a

1    facilities by producing an exhibitor-friendly environment
2    and by reducing costs for exhibitors and show managers.
3        (16) The provisions set forth in this Section are
4    reasonable, necessary, and narrowly tailored to safeguard
5    the Authority's and State of Illinois' shared and
6    compelling proprietary interests and respond to local
7    economic needs as compared to the available alternative set
8    forth in House Bill 4900 of the 96th General Assembly and
9    proposals submitted to the Joint Committee on the
10    Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority. Action by the
11    State offers the only comprehensive means to remedy the
12    circumstances set forth in these findings, despite the
13    concerted and laudable voluntary efforts of the Authority,
14    labor unions, show contractors, show managers, and
15    exhibitors.
