10        Section 5.  Definitions.  As used in this Act:
11        "Renting" means any transfer of the possession  or  right
12    to  possession  of  an  automobile  to  a user for a valuable
13    consideration for a period of one year or less.
14        Renting does  not  include  leasing  a  vehicle  under  a
15    consumer lease.
16        Renting  does  not include making a charge for the use of
17    an automobile where the rentor, either himself,  herself,  or
18    through  an  agent,  furnishes  a  service  of  operating  an
19    automobile  so  that  the rentor remains in possession of the
20    automobile, because this does not constitute  a  transfer  of
21    possession or right to possession of the automobile.
                            -2-            LRB9001496THpkam01
 1        Renting  does  not  include  the making of a charge by an
 2    automobile  dealer  for  the  use  of  an  automobile  as   a
 3    demonstrator  in  connection  with  the  dealer's business of
 4    selling, where the charge is merely made to recover the costs
 5    of operating the automobile as  a  demonstrator  and  is  not
 6    intended as a rental or leasing charge in the ordinary sense.
 7        "Automobile"   means  any  motor  vehicle  of  the  first
 8    division, a motor vehicle of the second division which  is  a
 9    self-contained   motor   vehicle   designed   or  permanently

23        "Rentor"  means  any   person,   firm,   corporation   or
24    association engaged in the business of renting automobiles to

26    not necessary to make the renting activity a business.
27        "Rentee"  means  any  user to whom the possession, or the
28    right to possession, of an automobile is  transferred  for  a
29    valuable  consideration  for  a  period  of one year or less,

12    tax that is imposed by Section 10 of  this  Act.  The  phrase
13    "rental price" does not include compensation paid to a rentor
14    by  a  rentee in consideration of the waiver by the rentor of
15    any right of action or claim against the rentee for  loss  or

31    persons  55  years  of  age  or  older,  when  using tangible
32    personal property as a rentee.
33        The tax shall be collected from the rentee  by  a  rentor

12    stated as a distinct item separate and apart from the  rental
13    price of the automobile.

15    enforce this Section; to collect  all  taxes,  penalties  and
16    interest  due  hereunder;  to dispose of taxes, penalties and
17    interest so collected in the manner hereinafter provided, and
18    to determine  all  rights  to  credit  memoranda  or  refunds
19    arising  on  account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty
20    or interest  hereunder.  The  Department  shall  deposit  all
21    amounts collected under this Act into the First Aid Education
22    and  Applied  Training  Fund,  a special fund which is hereby
23    created in the State treasury.  In the administration of, and
24    compliance with, this Section, the Department and persons who
25    are subject to this  Section  shall  have  the  same  rights,
26    remedies,  privileges,  immunities, powers and duties, and be
