Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates the Qualified Technological Equipment Leasing  Occupation      
   and Use Tax Act.  Imposes a tax on persons engaged in the State in the      
   business  of  leasing qualified technological equipment in Illinois at      
   the rate of 8.25% of the gross receipts received  from  the  business.      
   Imposes  a  tax  upon  the  privilege of using in this State qualified      
   technological equipment that is leased from a lessor at  the  rate  of      
   8.25% of the leasing price of the equipment paid to the lessor under a      
   lease  agreement. Provides that each month the Department of Revenue        
   shall pay into the Local Government Distributive Fund 20% of the net        
   revenue realized for the preceding month under this Act. Provides that      
   remaining 80% shall be distributed under  the  Use  Tax  Act  and  the      
   Retailers'  Occupation  Tax  Act.  Amends the Use Tax Act, the Service      
   Use Tax Act, the  Service  Occupation  Tax  Act,  and  the  Retailers'      
   Occupation Tax Act to exempt from the taxes imposed under those Acts        
   qualified technological equipment sold  to  lessors  for  lease  under      
   leases  subject  to  the  Qualified  Technological  Equipment  Leasing      
   Occupation  and Use Tax Act.  Provides that the exemption is available      
   for so long as the equipment is leased.  Provides that the  exemptions      
   are  not  subject  to  the  sunset  provisions.    Provides  that  the      
   exemptions  for  computer  equipment  used  in  hospitals  and certain      
   property leased to a governmental body  are  exempt  from  the  sunset      
   provisions.  In the Use Tax Act and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,      
   provides  that  a  purchaser  of qualified technological equipment may      
   obtain a refund of use and occupation taxes paid to the seller of the       
   equipment if the purchaser sells the property to a rentor under a bona      
   fide sale and leaseback transaction to such purchaser within 90 days        
   of the first functional use of the property. Amends the State Revenue       
   Sharing Act. Provides that beginning July 1, 1999, the Department           
   shall certify monthly to the Treasurer an amount equal to 1/5 of the        
   net revenue realized under the Qualified Technological Equipment            
   Leasing Occupation and Use Tax Act. Makes other changes. Effective          
   July 1, 1999.

   and  Use  Tax Act, exempts computers owned by, used by, leased by, and
