 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 677 on page 1,  by
 3    replacing lines 1 and 2 with the following:
 4        "AN ACT in relation to taxes, amending named Acts."; and
 5    on page 2, below line 32, by inserting the following:
 6        "Section  10.   The  Counties  Code  is amended by adding
 7    Section 5-1008.5 as follows:
 8        (55 ILCS 5/5-1008.5 new)
 9        Sec. 5-1008.5.  Use and occupation taxes.
10        (a)  The Rock Island County Board may adopt a  resolution
11    that  authorizes  a referendum on the question of whether the
12    county shall be authorized to impose a retailers'  occupation
13    tax, a service occupation tax, and a use tax at a rate of 1/4
14    of  1%  on  behalf  of the economic development activities of
15    Rock Island county and communities located within the county.
16    The county board shall certify the  question  to  the  proper
17    election  authorities  who  shall  submit the question to the
18    voters of the county at the next regularly scheduled election
19    in accordance with the general  election  law.  The  question
20    shall be in substantially the following form:
21             Shall  Rock  Island County be authorized to impose a
                            -2-            LRB9001431KDksam01
 1        retailers' occupation tax, a service occupation tax,  and
 2        a  use  tax at the rate of 1/4 of 1% for the sole purpose
 3        of economic development  activities,  including  creation
 4        and retention of job opportunities, support of affordable
 5        housing opportunities, and enhancement of quality of life
 6        improvements?
 7        Votes  shall  be recorded as "yes" or "no". If a majority
 8    of all votes cast on the proposition  are  in  favor  of  the
 9    proposition, the county is authorized to impose the tax.
10        (b)  The  county  shall  impose the retailers' occupation
11    tax upon all persons  engaged  in  the  business  of  selling
12    tangible  personal  property  at retail in the county, at the
13    rate approved by referendum, on the gross receipts  from  the
14    sales  made  in  the  course  of  those businesses within the
15    county. This additional tax may not be imposed on the sale of
16    food for human consumption that is to  be  consumed  off  the
17    premises  where  it  is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,
18    soft drinks, and food that has been  prepared  for  immediate
19    consumption) and prescription and non-prescription medicines,
20    drugs,   medical   appliances   and  insulin,  urine  testing
21    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics.  The  tax
22    imposed  under  this Section and all civil penalties that may
23    be assessed as an incident of the tax shall be collected  and
24    enforced  by  the  Department of Revenue.  The Department has
25    full power to administer and enforce this Section; to collect
26    all taxes and penalties so collected in the  manner  provided
27    in  this  Section;  and  to  determine  all  rights to credit
28    memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment of  tax
29    or penalty under this Section.  In the administration of, and
30    compliance with, this Section, the Department and persons who
31    are  subject  to this Section shall (i) have the same rights,
32    remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, (ii)  be
33    subject  to  the  same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
34    penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and definitions of  terms,
                            -3-            LRB9001431KDksam01
 1    and   (iii)  employ  the  same  modes  of  procedure  as  are
 2    prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f,  1i,  1j,
 3    1k, 1m, 1n, 2, 2-5, 2-5.5, 2-10 (in respect to all provisions
 4    other than the State rate of tax), 2-15 through 2-70, 2a, 2b,
 5    2c,  3  (except  as to the disposition of taxes and penalties
 6    collected  and  provisions   related   to   quarter   monthly
 7    payments),  4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l,
 8    6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10,  11,  11a,  12,  and  13  of  the
 9    Retailers'  Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform
10    Penalty and Interest Act, as fully  as  if  those  provisions
11    were set forth in this subsection.
12        Persons  subject to any tax imposed under this subsection
13    may reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability  by
14    separately  stating  the  tax  as an additional charge, which
15    charge may be stated in combination, in a single amount, with
16    State  taxes  that  sellers  are  required  to  collect,   in
17    accordance   with   bracket   schedules   prescribed  by  the
18    Department.
19        Whenever the Department determines that a  refund  should
20    be  made  under  this  subsection  to  a  claimant instead of
21    issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify  the
22    State  Comptroller,  who  shall cause the warrant to be drawn
23    for the amount specified, and to the  person  named,  in  the
24    notification  from  the Department.  The refund shall be paid
25    by the State Treasurer out of the tax fund  referenced  under
26    paragraph (g) of this Section.
27        If  a  tax  is  imposed  under this subsection (b), a tax
28    shall also be imposed at the same rate under subsections  (c)
29    and (d) of this Section.
30        For  the  purpose of determining whether a tax authorized
31    under this  Section  is  applicable,  a  retail  sale,  by  a
32    producer  of  coal or another mineral mined in Illinois, is a
33    sale at retail at the place where the coal or  other  mineral
34    mined   in  Illinois  is  extracted  from  the  earth.   This
                            -4-            LRB9001431KDksam01
 1    paragraph does not apply to coal or another mineral  when  it
 2    is  delivered  or shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a
 3    point outside Illinois so that the sale is exempt  under  the
 4    federal  Constitution  as  a  sale  in  interstate or foreign
 5    commerce.
 6        Nothing in this Section shall be construed  to  authorize
 7    the  county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
 8    any business that under the Constitution of the United States
 9    may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
10        (c)  If a tax has been imposed under  subsection  (b),  a
11    service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
12    upon  all  persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
13    making sales of service, who, as an incident to making  those
14    sales  of service, transfer tangible personal property within
15    the county  as  an  incident  to  a  sale  of  service.  This
16    additional  tax  may  not  be imposed on the sale of food for
17    human consumption that is to be  consumed  off  the  premises
18    where  it  is  sold  (other  than  alcoholic  beverages, soft
19    drinks,  and  food  that  has  been  prepared  for  immediate
20    consumption) and prescription and non-prescription medicines,
21    drugs,  medical  appliances  and   insulin,   urine   testing
22    materials,  syringes,  and needles used by diabetics. The tax
23    imposed under this subsection and all  civil  penalties  that
24    may  be assessed as an incident of the tax shall be collected
25    and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The Department has
26    full power to  administer  and  enforce  this  paragraph;  to
27    collect  all  taxes  and penalties due under this Section; to
28    dispose of taxes and penalties so  collected  in  the  manner
29    provided  in  this  Section;  and  to determine all rights to
30    credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous  payment
31    of  tax or penalty under this Section.  In the administration
32    of, and compliance with this paragraph,  the  Department  and
33    persons  who are subject to this paragraph shall (i) have the
34    same rights, remedies, privileges,  immunities,  powers,  and
                            -5-            LRB9001431KDksam01
 1    duties, (ii) be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
 2    limitations,    penalties,    exclusions,   exemptions,   and
 3    definitions of terms, and (iii)  employ  the  same  modes  of
 4    procedure  as  are  prescribed in Sections 2 (except that the
 5    reference to State in the definition of supplier  maintaining
 6    a place of business in this State shall mean the county), 2a,
 7    2b,  3  through 3-55 (in respect to all provisions other than
 8    the State rate of tax), 4 (except that the reference  to  the
 9    State  shall  be  to  the  county),  5, 7, 8 (except that the
10    jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to  the  extent
11    indicated  in  that Section 8 shall be the county), 9 (except
12    as to the disposition of taxes and penalties  collected,  and
13    except  that the returned merchandise credit for this tax may
14    not be taken against any  State  tax),  11,  12  (except  the
15    reference  to  Section  2b  of  the Retailers' Occupation Tax
16    Act), 13 (except that any reference to the State  shall  mean
17    the  county),  15,  16,  17,  18,  19  and  20 of the Service
18    Occupation Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and
19    Interest Act, as fully as if those provisions were set  forth
20    in this subsection.
21        Persons  subject  to  any tax imposed under the authority
22    granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
23    serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the  tax  as
24    an   additional   charge,  which  charge  may  be  stated  in
25    combination,  in  a  single  amount,  with  State  tax   that
26    servicemen  are  authorized  to collect under the Service Use
27    Tax Act, in accordance with bracket schedules  prescribed  by
28    the Department.
29        Whenever  the  Department determines that a refund should
30    be made under  this  subsection  to  a  claimant  instead  of
31    issuing  a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the
32    State Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant  to  be  drawn
33    for  the  amount  specified,  and to the person named, in the
34    notification from the Department.  The refund shall  be  paid
                            -6-            LRB9001431KDksam01
 1    by  the  State Treasurer out of the tax fund referenced under
 2    paragraph (g) of this Section.
 3        Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to authorize
 4    the county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging  in
 5    any business that under the Constitution of the United States
 6    may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
 7        (d)  If  a  tax  has been imposed under subsection (b), a
 8    use tax shall also be imposed  at  the  same  rate  upon  the
 9    privilege  of  using,  in  the  county,  any item of tangible
10    personal property that is purchased  outside  the  county  at
11    retail from a retailer, and that is titled or registered at a
12    location  within  the  county  with an agency of this State's
13    government. This additional tax may not  be  imposed  on  the
14    sale of food for human consumption that is to be consumed off
15    the   premises   where  it  is  sold  (other  than  alcoholic
16    beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been  prepared  for
17    immediate  consumption) and prescription and non-prescription
18    medicines,  drugs,  medical  appliances  and  insulin,  urine
19    testing materials, syringes, and needless used by  diabetics.
20    "Selling  price"  is  defined as in the Use Tax Act.  The tax
21    shall be collected from persons whose  Illinois  address  for
22    titling  or  registration  purposes  is given as being in the
23    county.  The tax shall be  collected  by  the  Department  of
24    Revenue for the county. The tax must be paid to the State, or
25    an   exemption   determination  must  be  obtained  from  the
26    Department of Revenue, before the  title  or  certificate  of
27    registration  for  the  property  may  be issued.  The tax or
28    proof of exemption may be transmitted to  the  Department  by
29    way of the State agency with which, or the State officer with
30    whom,  the  tangible  personal  property  must  be  titled or
31    registered if the Department and the State  agency  or  State
32    officer  determine  that  this  procedure  will  expedite the
33    processing of applications for title or registration.
34        The Department has full power to administer  and  enforce
                            -7-            LRB9001431KDksam01
 1    this paragraph; to collect all taxes, penalties, and interest
 2    due  under  this Section; to dispose of taxes, penalties, and
 3    interest so collected in the manner provided in this Section;
 4    and to determine all rights to credit  memoranda  or  refunds
 5    arising  on account of the erroneous payment of tax, penalty,
 6    or interest under this Section. In the administration of, and
 7    compliance with, this subsection, the Department and  persons
 8    who  are  subject  to  this paragraph shall (i) have the same
 9    rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties,
10    (ii)  be  subject  to  the  same  conditions,   restrictions,
11    limitations,    penalties,    exclusions,   exemptions,   and
12    definitions of terms, and (iii)  employ  the  same  modes  of
13    procedure  as  are  prescribed  in  Sections  2  (except  the
14    definition  of  "retailer  maintaining a place of business in
15    this State"), 3, 3-5, 3-10, 3-45, 3-55, 3-65, 3-70, 3-85, 3a,
16    4, 6, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction  to  which  the  tax
17    shall  be  a  debt  to the extent indicated in that Section 8
18    shall be  the  county),  9  (except  provisions  relating  to
19    quarter  monthly payments), 10, 11, 12, 12a, 12b, 13, 14, 15,
20    19, 20, 21, and 22 of the Use Tax Act and Section 3-7 of  the
21    Uniform  Penalty  and Interest Act, that are not inconsistent
22    with this paragraph, as fully as if those provisions were set
23    forth in this subsection.
24        Whenever the Department determines that a  refund  should
25    be  made  under  this  subsection  to  a  claimant instead of
26    issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify  the
27    State  Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for
28    the amount  specified,  and  to  the  person  named,  in  the
29    notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid by
30    the  State  Treasurer  out  of  the tax fund referenced under
31    paragraph (g) of this Section.
32        (e)  A certificate of registration issued  by  the  State
33    Department  of  Revenue  to  a  retailer under the Retailers'
34    Occupation Tax Act or under the Service  Occupation  Tax  Act
                            -8-            LRB9001431KDksam01
 1    shall  permit  the registrant to engage in a business that is
 2    taxed under the tax imposed under paragraphs (b), (c), or (d)
 3    of this Section  and  no  additional  registration  shall  be
 4    required.  A  certificate issued under the Use Tax Act or the
 5    Service Use Tax Act shall be applicable with  regard  to  any
 6    tax imposed under paragraph (c) of this Section.
 7        (f)  The   results   of   any   election   authorizing  a
 8    proposition to impose a tax under this Section or effecting a
 9    change in the rate of tax shall be certified  by  the  proper
10    election  authorities  and filed with the Illinois Department
11    on or before the first  day  of  October.   In  addition,  an
12    ordinance  imposing,  discontinuing, or effecting a change in
13    the rate of tax under this Section shall  be  adopted  and  a
14    certified  copy of the ordinance filed with the Department on
15    or before the first day of October.  After proper receipt  of
16    the   certifications,   the   Department   shall  proceed  to
17    administer and enforce this Section as of the  first  day  of
18    January next following the adoption and filing.
19        (g)  The Department of Revenue shall, upon collecting any
20    taxes  and  penalties  as  provided  in this Section, pay the
21    taxes and penalties over to the State  Treasurer  as  trustee
22    for  the  county.  The taxes and penalties shall be held in a
23    trust fund outside the State Treasury. On or before the  25th
24    day  of  each calendar month, the Department of Revenue shall
25    prepare and certify  to  the  Comptroller  of  the  State  of
26    Illinois  the amount to be paid to the county, which shall be
27    the balance in the fund, less any amount  determined  by  the
28    Department to be necessary for the payment of refunds. Within
29    10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of the certification
30    of the amount to be paid to the county, the Comptroller shall
31    cause  an  order  to  be  drawn for payment for the amount in
32    accordance   with   the   directions   contained    in    the
33    certification.  Amounts  received  from the tax imposed under
34    this Section shall be used only for the economic  development
                            -9-            LRB9001431KDksam01
 1    activities  of  the county and communities located within the
 2    county.
 3        (h)  When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement
 4    to the  county  under  this  Section,  the  Department  shall
 5    increase  or  decrease  the amounts by an amount necessary to
 6    offset any miscalculation  of  previous  disbursements.   The
 7    offset  amount  shall  be  the  amount  erroneously disbursed
 8    within the previous 6 months from the time  a  miscalculation
 9    is discovered.
10        (i)  This  Section may be cited as the Rock Island County
11    Use and Occupation Tax Law.
12        (70 ILCS 510/18.2 rep.)
