13occupation taxes or service occupation taxes imposed pursuant
14to subsection (10) of Section 11-74.3-3 and received or to be
15received by the municipality from the development or

19under Section 13.2, or bonds or notes issued to refund those
20bonds and notes, are no longer outstanding, the balance in the

5    Sec. 19. Tax. The Authority may impose an occupation tax
6upon all persons engaged in the City of Chicago in the business
7of renting, leasing or letting rooms in a hotel, as defined in
8The Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act, at a rate not to

12proceeds of such renting, leasing or letting to permanent
13residents of that hotel and proceeds from the tax imposed under
14subsection (c) of Section 13 of the Metropolitan Pier and
15Exposition Authority Act.
16    The tax imposed by the Authority pursuant to this Section
17and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident
18thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State Department

22business which is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
23enacted pursuant to this Section without registering

14is inconsistent herewith), as the same is now or may hereafter
15be amended, as fully as if the provisions contained in The
16Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act were set forth herein.
17    Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
18made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
19credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
20Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
21amount specified, and to the person named, in such notification
22from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by the State

18hereunder during such second preceding calendar month by the
19Department, less an amount equal to the amount of refunds
20authorized during such second preceding calendar month by the
21Department on behalf of the Authority, and less 4% of such
22balance, which sum shall be retained by the State Treasurer to
23cover the costs incurred by the Department in administering and
24enforcing the provisions of this Section, as provided herein.
