10        (35 ILCS 615/2a.1) (from Ch. 120, par. 467.17a.1)
11        Sec. 2a.1.  Imposition of tax on  invested  capital.   In
12    addition  to the taxes imposed by the Illinois Income Tax Act
13    and Section 2 of this  Act,  there  is  hereby  imposed  upon
14    persons  engaged  in the business of distributing, supplying,
15    furnishing or selling gas and subject to the tax  imposed  by
16    this  Act  (other  than  a  school  district or unit of local
17    government as defined in Section 1  of  Article  VII  of  the
18    Illinois  Constitution  of  1970),  an  additional  tax in an
19    amount equal to .8% of such persons' invested capital for the
20    taxable period.  If such persons  are  not  liable  for  such
21    additional tax for the entire taxable period, such additional
 
                            -2-              LRB9106128PTpkam
 1    tax  shall  be  computed on the portion of the taxable period
 2    during which such persons were  liable  for  such  additional
 3    tax.  The  invested capital tax imposed by this Section shall
 4    not be imposed upon persons who  are  not  regulated  by  the
 5    Illinois  Commerce  Commission.  Provided, in the case of any
 6    person which is subject to the invested capital  tax  imposed
 7    by  this  Section and which is also subject to the tax on the
 8    distribution of electricity imposed by Section  2a.1  of  the
 9    Public  Utilities  Revenue Act, for taxable periods beginning
10    on or after January 1, 1998, the invested capital tax imposed
11    by this Section shall be the lesser of (i) an amount equal to
12    0.8% of such person's invested capital for the taxable period
13    multiplied by a  fraction  the  numerator  of  which  is  the
14    average of the beginning and ending balances of such person's
15    gross  gas  utility  plant  in service and the denominator of
16    which is the average of the beginning and ending balances  of
17    such  person's  gross  electric  and  gas  utility  plant  in
18    service,  as  set forth in such person's annual report to the
19    Illinois Commerce Commission for the taxable period, or  (ii)
20    an  amount equal to 0.8% of the person's invested capital for
21    the taxable period ended December 31, 1996  multiplied  by  a
22    fraction  the  numerator  of  which  is  the  average  of the
23    beginning and ending  balances  of  the  person's  gross  gas
24    utility  plant in service and the denominator of which is the
25    average of the beginning and ending balances of the  person's
26    gross  electric and gas utility plant in service as set forth
27    in the  person's  annual  report  to  the  Illinois  Commerce
28    Commission  for  the  taxable  period ended December 31, 1996
29    modified by an adjustment factor.  The adjustment factor is a
30    ratio the numerator of which is the average of the  beginning
31    and  ending  balances  of  the  person's  gross  gas plant in
32    service for the taxable period  and the denominator of  which
33    is  the  average  of the beginning and ending balances of the
34    person's gross gas plant in service for  the  taxable  period
 
                            -3-              LRB9106128PTpkam
 1    ended  December 31, 1996, as set forth in the person's annual
