 1        AN ACT in relation to taxes.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The  Use  Tax  Act  is  amended  by  changing
 5    Section 3-10 as follows:

 6        (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
 7        Sec.  3-10.   Rate  of tax.  Unless otherwise provided in
 8    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
 9    6.25%  of  either the selling price or the fair market value,
10    if any, of the tangible  personal  property.   In  all  cases
11    where  property  functionally used or consumed is the same as
12    the property that was purchased at retail, then  the  tax  is
13    imposed  on  the selling price of the property.  In all cases
14    where property functionally used or consumed is a  by-product
15    or  waste  product  that  has  been refined, manufactured, or
16    produced from property purchased at retail, then the  tax  is
17    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
18    specific  property  so  used  in this State or on the selling
19    price of the property purchased at retail.  For  purposes  of
20    this  Section  "fair  market  value" means the price at which
21    property would change hands between a  willing  buyer  and  a
22    willing  seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
23    sell and both having reasonable  knowledge  of  the  relevant
24    facts.   The  fair  market  value  shall  be  established  by
25    Illinois  sales  by the taxpayer of the same property as that
26    functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such  sales
27    by  the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases of
28    property of like kind and character in Illinois.
29        Beginning on July 1, 2000 and through December 31,  2000,
30    with  respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of the
31    Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in  Section  3-40

 1    of  this  the  Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of
 2    1.25%.
 3        Beginning on July 1, 2001, with respect to motor fuel, as
 4    defined in Section 1.1 of the Motor Fuel Tax Law, other  than
 5    gasohol,  as  defined  in  Section  3-40 of this Act, the tax
 6    imposed by this Act shall be calculated on an amount equal to
 7    the selling price less all federal, State,  and  local  taxes
 8    otherwise  included  in  the  selling price.  With respect to
 9    gasohol, the tax imposed by this Act applies to  70%  of  the
10    proceeds  of  sales  made  on  or  after January 1, 1990, and
11    before July 1, 2001; to 70% of an amount equal to the selling
12    price less all federal,  State,  and  local  taxes  otherwise
13    included  in  the selling price, with respect to the proceeds
14    of sales made on or after July 1, 2001  and  before  July  1,
15    2003;,  and  to  100% of an amount equal to the selling price
16    less all federal, State, and local taxes  otherwise  included
17    in  the  selling price, with respect to the proceeds of sales
18    made thereafter.  For the purposes  of  this  paragraph,  the
19    term  "all federal, State, and local taxes" includes, without
20    limitation, taxes imposed under Sections  2  and  2A  of  the

26    consumed  off  the  premises  where  it  is  sold (other than
27    alcoholic beverages, soft drinks,  and  food  that  has  been
28    prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription and

12    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
13    where it is sold" includes all food sold  through  a  vending
14    machine,  except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that are
15    dispensed hot from  a  vending  machine,  regardless  of  the
16    location of the vending machine.
17        If  the  property  that  is  purchased  at  retail from a
18    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside
19    Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
20    taxable under this Act, the "selling price" on which the  tax
21    is  computed  shall be reduced by an amount that represents a
22    reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
23    out-of-state use.

22    6.25% of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of  the
23    Service  Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.  For
24    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
25    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
26    of  the  tangible personal property transferred.  The selling
27    price of each item of tangible personal property  transferred
28    as  an  incident  of  a  sale  of  service  may be shown as a
29    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
30    service customer. If the selling price is not so  shown,  the
31    selling  price of the tangible personal property is deemed to
32    be 50% of the serviceman's  entire  billing  to  the  service

 4    serviceman's cost price of  the  tangible  personal  property
 5    transferred incident to the completion of the contract.
 6        Beginning  on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000,

14    equal to the selling price less all federal, State, and local
15    taxes  otherwise included in the selling price.  With respect
16    to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act, the tax imposed by
17    this Act shall apply to 70% of the  cost  price  of  property
18    transferred as an incident to the sale of service on or after
19    January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2001; to 70% of an amount

21    taxes otherwise included in the cost price, with  respect  to
22    gasohol  transferred as an incident to the sale of service on
23    or after July 1, 2001 and before July 1, 2003;, and  to  100%
24    of an amount equal to the cost price less all federal, State,
25    and  local  taxes  otherwise included in the cost price, with
26    respect to gasohol transferred as an incident to the sale  of
27    service  on  or  after  July  1,  2003  thereafter.   For the
28    purposes of this paragraph, the term "all federal, State, and
29    local taxes"  includes,  without  limitation,  taxes  imposed
30    under  Sections  2  and  2A  of  the Motor Fuel Tax Law, fees

 8    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
 9    transferred incident to the sale of those services.
10        The tax shall be imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food

21        Within  14  days  after  the  effective  date   of   this
22    amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, each retailer of
23    motor fuel and gasohol shall cause the following notice to be
24    posted   in  a  prominently  visible  place  on  each  retail

 2    guilty  of  a  petty offense for which the fine shall be $500
 3    per day per each retail premises where a violation occurs.
 4        Beginning on July 1, 2001, with respect to motor fuel, as
