5    Section 10. The Counties Code is amended by changing
6Sections 5-1006, 5-1006.5, 5-1006.8, and 5-1007 as follows:
 
7    (55 ILCS 5/5-1006)  (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1006)
8    Sec. 5-1006. Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax
9Law. Any county that is a home rule unit may impose a tax upon
10all persons engaged in the business of selling tangible
11personal property, other than an item of tangible personal
12property titled or registered with an agency of this State's
13government, at retail in the county on the gross receipts from
14such sales made in the course of their business. If imposed,
15this tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after
16September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be imposed on
17tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
18Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. Beginning December 1, 2019,
19this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the
20tax revenue is expended for airport-related purposes. If the
21county does not have an airport-related purpose to which it
22dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is
23excluded from the tax. The county must comply with the
24certification requirements for airport-related purposes under

 

 

SB0090- 7 -LRB102 02725 HLH 12728 b

1Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For
2purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes" has the
3meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act.

5the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
6U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The changes made to
7this Section by this amendatory Act of the 101st General
8Assembly are a denial and limitation of home rule powers and
9functions under subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of
10the Illinois Constitution. The tax imposed by a home rule
11county pursuant to this Section and all civil penalties that
12may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
13enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
14of registration that is issued by the Department to a retailer
15under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the
16retailer to engage in a business that is taxable under any
17ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this Section
18without registering separately with the Department under such
19ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
20shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
21to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
22of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
23provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
24arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
25hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
26Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this

1Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
2immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
3conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
4definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,

7therein other than the State rate of tax), 3 (except as to the
8disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
9the retailer's discount is not allowed for taxes paid on
10aviation fuel that are subject to the revenue use requirements
11of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c,
125d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9,
1310, 11, 12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and
14Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully
15as if those provisions were set forth herein.
16    No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to
17this Section unless the county also imposes a tax at the same
18rate pursuant to Section 5-1007.
19    Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
20authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
21their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating
22such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
23combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
24are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
25bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
26    Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be

1    Sec. 5-1007. Home Rule County Service Occupation Tax Law.
2The corporate authorities of a home rule county may impose a
3tax upon all persons engaged, in such county, in the business
4of making sales of service at the same rate of tax imposed
5pursuant to Section 5-1006 of the selling price of all
6tangible personal property transferred by such servicemen
7either in the form of tangible personal property or in the form
8of real estate as an incident to a sale of service. If imposed,
9such tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments. On and after
10September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not be imposed on
11tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
12Service Occupation Tax Act. Beginning December 1, 2019, this
13tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax
14revenue is expended for airport-related purposes. If the
15county does not have an airport-related purpose to which it
16dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is
17excluded from the tax. The county must comply with the
18certification requirements for airport-related purposes under
19Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For
20purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes" has the
21meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act.
22This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for so long as
23the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
24U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the county. The changes made to
25this Section by this amendatory Act of the 101st General
26Assembly are a denial and limitation of home rule powers and

1functions under subsection (g) of Section 6 of Article VII of
2the Illinois Constitution. The tax imposed by a home rule
3county pursuant to this Section and all civil penalties that
4may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
5enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The certificate
6of registration which is issued by the Department to a
7retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or under the
8Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit such registrant to
9engage in a business which is taxable under any ordinance or
10resolution enacted pursuant to this Section without
11registering separately with the Department under such
12ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The Department
13shall have full power to administer and enforce this Section;
14to collect all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose
15of taxes and penalties so collected in the manner hereinafter
16provided; and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
17arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
18hereunder. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
19Section the Department and persons who are subject to this
20Section shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
21immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
22conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and
23definitions of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure,
24as are prescribed in Sections 1a-1, 2, 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in
25respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate of
26tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to the

4of taxes and penalties collected, and except that the returned
5merchandise credit for this county tax may not be taken
6against any State tax, and except that the retailer's discount
7is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject
8to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
9U.S.C. 47133), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to
10Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except
11that any reference to the State shall mean the taxing county),
12the first paragraph of Section 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the
13Service Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
14Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
15set forth herein.
16    No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to
17this Section unless such county also imposes a tax at the same
18rate pursuant to Section 5-1006.
19    Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
20authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for
21their serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately
22stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be
23stated in combination, in a single amount, with State tax
24which servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service
25Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracket schedules as the

5on an item of tangible personal property which is titled and
6registered by an agency of this State's Government, at retail
7in the municipality for expenditure on public infrastructure
8or for property tax relief or both as defined in Section
98-11-1.2 if approved by referendum as provided in Section
108-11-1.1, of the gross receipts from such sales made in the
11course of such business. If the tax is approved by referendum
12on or after July 14, 2010 (the effective date of Public Act
1396-1057), the corporate authorities of a non-home rule
14municipality may, until July 1, 2030, use the proceeds of the
15tax for expenditure on municipal operations, in addition to or
16in lieu of any expenditure on public infrastructure or for
17property tax relief. The tax imposed may not be more than 1%
18and may be imposed only in 1/4% increments. The tax may not be
19imposed on tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate
20under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. Beginning December 1,
212019, this tax is not imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless
22the tax revenue is expended for airport-related purposes. If a
23municipality does not have an airport-related purpose to which
24it dedicates aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is
25excluded from the tax. Each municipality must comply with the
26certification requirements for airport-related purposes under

 

 

SB0090- 56 -LRB102 02725 HLH 12728 b

1Section 2-22 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For
2purposes of this Section, "airport-related purposes" has the
3meaning ascribed in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act.
4This exclusion for aviation fuel only applies for so long as
5the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
6U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the municipality. The tax imposed
7by a municipality pursuant to this Section and all civil
8penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
9collected and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The
10certificate of registration which is issued by the Department
11to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall
12permit such retailer to engage in a business which is taxable
13under any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this
14Section without registering separately with the Department
15under such ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The
16Department shall have full power to administer and enforce
17this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties due
18hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
19the manner hereinafter provided, and to determine all rights
20to credit memoranda, arising on account of the erroneous
21payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
22and compliance with, this Section, the Department and persons
23who are subject to this Section shall have the same rights,
24remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
25subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,

12occupation tax; municipalities between 20,000 and 25,000. The
13corporate authorities of a non-home rule municipality with a
14population of more than 20,000 but less than 25,000 that has,
15prior to January 1, 1987, established a Redevelopment Project
16Area that has been certified as a State Sales Tax Boundary and
17has issued bonds or otherwise incurred indebtedness to pay for
18costs in excess of $5,000,000, which is secured in part by a
19tax increment allocation fund, in accordance with the
20provisions of Division 11-74.4 of this Code may, by passage of
21an ordinance, impose a tax upon all persons engaged in the
22business of selling tangible personal property, other than on

2Occupation Tax Act. Beginning December 1, 2019, this tax is
3not imposed on sales of aviation fuel unless the tax revenue is
4expended for airport-related purposes. If a municipality does
5not have an airport-related purpose to which it dedicates
6aviation fuel tax revenue, then aviation fuel is excluded from
7the tax. Each municipality must comply with the certification
8requirements for airport-related purposes under Section 2-22
9of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this
10Section, "airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed
11in Section 6z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion
12for aviation fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use
13requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are
14binding on the municipality. If imposed, the tax shall only be
15imposed in .25% increments of the gross receipts from such
16sales made in the course of business. Any tax imposed by a
17municipality under this Section and all civil penalties that
18may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be collected and
19enforced by the State Department of Revenue. An ordinance
20imposing a tax hereunder or effecting a change in the rate
21thereof shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed
22with the Department on or before the first day of October,
23whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer and
24enforce this Section as of the first day of January next

14credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
15Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
16amount specified, and to the person named in the notification
17from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
18Treasurer out of the Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
19Occupation Tax Fund, which is hereby created or the Local
20Government Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
21    Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the

18Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
19disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities,
20the municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid
21taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department during the
22second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
23municipality shall be the amount (not including credit
24memoranda and not including taxes and penalties collected on
25aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019) collected
26hereunder during the second preceding calendar month by the

3a different taxing body, and not including an amount equal to
4the amount of refunds made during the second preceding
5calendar month by the Department on behalf of the
6municipality, and not including any amount that the Department
7determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were
8payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously paid
9to the municipality, and not including any amounts that are
10transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund, less 1% 1.5% of the
11remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax
12Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the
13time of each monthly disbursement to the municipalities, shall
14prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be

2coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
3seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
4sale is exempt under the federal Constitution as a sale in

2    Section 30. The Regional Transportation Authority Act is
3amended by changing Section 4.03 as follows:
 
4    (70 ILCS 3615/4.03)  (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 704.03)
5    Sec. 4.03. Taxes.
6    (a) In order to carry out any of the powers or purposes of
7the Authority, the Board may by ordinance adopted with the
8concurrence of 12 of the then Directors, impose throughout the
9metropolitan region any or all of the taxes provided in this
10Section. Except as otherwise provided in this Act, taxes
11imposed under this Section and civil penalties imposed
12incident thereto shall be collected and enforced by the State
13Department of Revenue. The Department shall have the power to
14administer and enforce the taxes and to determine all rights
15for refunds for erroneous payments of the taxes. Nothing in
16Public Act 95-708 is intended to invalidate any taxes
17currently imposed by the Authority. The increased vote
18requirements to impose a tax shall only apply to actions taken
19after January 1, 2008 (the effective date of Public Act
2095-708).
21    (b) The Board may impose a public transportation tax upon
22all persons engaged in the metropolitan region in the business
23of selling at retail motor fuel for operation of motor
24vehicles upon public highways. The tax shall be at a rate not

 

 

SB0090- 123 -LRB102 02725 HLH 12728 b

1to exceed 5% of the gross receipts from the sales of motor fuel
2in the course of the business. As used in this Act, the term
3"motor fuel" shall have the same meaning as in the Motor Fuel
4Tax Law. The Board may provide for details of the tax. The
5provisions of any tax shall conform, as closely as may be
6practicable, to the provisions of the Municipal Retailers
7Occupation Tax Act, including without limitation, conformity
8to penalties with respect to the tax imposed and as to the
9powers of the State Department of Revenue to promulgate and
10enforce rules and regulations relating to the administration
11and enforcement of the provisions of the tax imposed, except
12that reference in the Act to any municipality shall refer to
13the Authority and the tax shall be imposed only with regard to
14receipts from sales of motor fuel in the metropolitan region,
15at rates as limited by this Section.
16    (c) In connection with the tax imposed under paragraph (b)
17of this Section, the Board may impose a tax upon the privilege
18of using in the metropolitan region motor fuel for the
19operation of a motor vehicle upon public highways, the tax to

1exemptions to the tax, for administration and enforcement
2thereof and for civil penalties and refunds thereunder and may
3provide criminal penalties thereunder, the maximum penalties
4not to exceed the maximum criminal penalties provided in the
5Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. The Authority may collect and
6enforce the tax itself or by contract with any unit of local
7government. The State Department of Revenue shall have no
8responsibility for the collection and enforcement unless the
9Department agrees with the Authority to undertake the
10collection and enforcement. As used in this paragraph, the
11term "parking facility" means a parking area or structure
12having parking spaces for more than 2 vehicles at which motor
13vehicles are permitted to park in return for an hourly, daily,
14or other periodic fee, whether publicly or privately owned,
15but does not include parking spaces on a public street, the use
16of which is regulated by parking meters.
17    (e) The Board may impose a Regional Transportation
18Authority Retailers' Occupation Tax upon all persons engaged
19in the business of selling tangible personal property at
20retail in the metropolitan region. In Cook County, the tax
21rate shall be 1.25% of the gross receipts from sales of
22tangible personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the
23Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and 1% of the gross receipts
24from other taxable sales made in the course of that business.
25In DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties, the tax
26rate shall be 0.75% of the gross receipts from all taxable

 

 

SB0090- 125 -LRB102 02725 HLH 12728 b

1sales made in the course of that business. The rate of tax
2imposed in DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties
3under this Section on sales of aviation fuel on or after
4December 1, 2019 shall, however, be 0.25% unless the Regional
5Transportation Authority in DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and
6Will counties has an "airport-related purpose" and the
7additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax on aviation fuel is expended
8for airport-related purposes. If there is no airport-related
9purpose to which aviation fuel tax revenue is dedicated, then
10aviation fuel is excluded from the additional 0.50% of the
110.75% tax. The tax imposed under this Section and all civil
12penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
13collected and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The
14Department shall have full power to administer and enforce
15this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties so collected
16in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all
17rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
18payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of,
19and compliance with this Section, the Department and persons
20who are subject to this Section shall have the same rights,
21remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, and be
22subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
23penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and definitions of terms,
24and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
25Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65

1rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the disposition of taxes and
2penalties collected, and except that the retailer's discount
3is not allowed for taxes paid on aviation fuel that are subject
4to the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49
5U.S.C. 47133), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j,
65k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 of the
7Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
8Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were
9set forth herein.
10    The Board and DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
11counties must comply with the certification requirements for
12airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers'
13Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,
14"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
156z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
16fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
17of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
18Authority.
19    Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
20granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
21seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the tax
22as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
23combination in a single amount with State taxes that sellers
24are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, under any
25bracket schedules the Department may prescribe.
26    Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be

 

 

SB0090- 127 -LRB102 02725 HLH 12728 b

1made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
2credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
3Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
4amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
5from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
6Treasurer out of the Regional Transportation Authority tax
7fund established under paragraph (n) of this Section or the
8Local Government Aviation Trust Fund, as appropriate.
9    If a tax is imposed under this subsection (e), a tax shall
10also be imposed under subsections (f) and (g) of this Section.
11    For the purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
12under this Section is applicable, a retail sale by a producer
13of coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail
14at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois
15is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
16coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
17seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
18sale is exempt under the Federal Constitution as a sale in
19interstate or foreign commerce.
20    No tax shall be imposed or collected under this subsection
21on the sale of a motor vehicle in this State to a resident of
22another state if that motor vehicle will not be titled in this
23State.
24    Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
25the Regional Transportation Authority to impose a tax upon the
26privilege of engaging in any business that under the

 

 

SB0090- 128 -LRB102 02725 HLH 12728 b

4Regional Transportation Authority Service Occupation Tax shall
5also be imposed upon all persons engaged, in the metropolitan
6region in the business of making sales of service, who as an
7incident to making the sales of service, transfer tangible
8personal property within the metropolitan region, either in
9the form of tangible personal property or in the form of real
10estate as an incident to a sale of service. In Cook County, the
11tax rate shall be: (1) 1.25% of the serviceman's cost price of
12food prepared for immediate consumption and transferred
13incident to a sale of service subject to the service
14occupation tax by an entity licensed under the Hospital
15Licensing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, the Specialized

17Care Act, or the MC/DD Act that is located in the metropolitan
18region; (2) 1.25% of the selling price of tangible personal
19property taxed at the 1% rate under the Service Occupation Tax
20Act; and (3) 1% of the selling price from other taxable sales
21of tangible personal property transferred. In DuPage, Kane,
22Lake, McHenry, and Will counties, the rate shall be 0.75% of
23the selling price of all tangible personal property
24transferred. The rate of tax imposed in DuPage, Kane, Lake,
25McHenry, and Will counties under this Section on sales of
26aviation fuel on or after December 1, 2019 shall, however, be

 

 

SB0090- 129 -LRB102 02725 HLH 12728 b

10.25% unless the Regional Transportation Authority in DuPage,
2Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will counties has an "airport-related
3purpose" and the additional 0.50% of the 0.75% tax on aviation
4fuel is expended for airport-related purposes. If there is no
5airport-related purpose to which aviation fuel tax revenue is
6dedicated, then aviation fuel is excluded from the additional
70.5% of the 0.75% tax.
8    The Board and DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will
9counties must comply with the certification requirements for
10airport-related purposes under Section 2-22 of the Retailers'
11Occupation Tax Act. For purposes of this Section,
12"airport-related purposes" has the meaning ascribed in Section
136z-20.2 of the State Finance Act. This exclusion for aviation
14fuel only applies for so long as the revenue use requirements
15of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the
16Authority.
17    The tax imposed under this paragraph and all civil
18penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
