    AN ACT to amend  the  Motor  Fuel  Tax  Law  by  changing
Sections 1.2 and 1.14.

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

    Section 5.  The Motor Fuel Tax Law is amended by changing
Sections 1.2 and 1.14 as follows:

    (35 ILCS 505/1.2) (from Ch. 120, par. 417.2)
    Sec. 1.2. Distributor. "Distributor" means  a person  who
either  produces,  refines, blends, compounds or manufactures
motor fuel in this State, or transports motor fuel into  this
State  or receives motor fuel transported to him from without
the State.
    "Distributor" does not, however,  include  a  person  who
receives  or  transports  into  this  State and sells or uses
motor  fuel  under  such  circumstances   as   preclude   the
collection  of  the  tax  herein  imposed,  by  reason of the
provisions of the constitution and  statutes  of  the  United
States.  However, a person operating a motor vehicle into the
State, may transport in the ordinary fuel  tank  attached  to
the  motor  vehicle,  not  more  than twenty gallons of motor
fuel, for the operation of the motor vehicle,  without  being
considered  a  distributor.  Any  railroad licensed as a bulk
user and registered under Section 18c-7201  of  the  Illinois
Vehicle  Code may deliver special fuel directly into the fuel
supply tank of a locomotive owned, operated, or controlled by
any other railroad registered under Section 18c-7201  of  the
Illinois Vehicle Code without being considered a distributor.
(Source: P.A. 89-399, eff. 8-20-95.)

    (35 ILCS 505/1.14) (from Ch. 120, par. 417.14)
    Sec.  1.14.   Supplier. "Supplier" means any person other
than a licensed distributor who transports special fuel  into
this  State  or receives special fuel transported to him from
outside the State.
    "Supplier"  does  not,  however,  include  a  person  who
receives or transports into this  State  and  sells  or  uses
special   fuel  under  such  circumstances  as  preclude  the
collection of the  tax  herein  imposed,  by  reason  of  the
provisions of the Constitution and laws of the United States.
However,  a  person operating a motor vehicle into the State,
may transport special fuel in the ordinary fuel tank attached
to the motor vehicle for the operation of the  motor  vehicle
without being considered a supplier. Any railroad licensed as
a  bulk  user  and  registered  under Section 18c-7201 of the
Illinois Vehicle Code may deliver special fuel directly  into
the  fuel  supply  tank  of  a locomotive owned, operated, or
controlled by any other  railroad  registered  under  Section
18c-7201   of   the   Illinois  Vehicle  Code  without  being
considered a supplier.

    Section 99.  Effective date.  This Act  takes  effect  on
July 1, 1999.
