 9    gas to persons for other than residential use or  consumption
10    and  not for resale at the rate of 2.4 cents per therm of all
11    gas which is so distributed,  supplied,  furnished,  sold  or
12    transported  to  or  for  each customer in the course of such

25    was imposed immediately preceding the effective date of  this
26    amendatory Act of 1985. The provisions of this amendatory Act
27    of  the  91st General Assembly are exempt from the provisions
