13 Section 15. The Counties Code is amended by changing
14 Sections 5-1006 and 5-1006.5 as follows:
15 (55 ILCS 5/5-1006) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1006)
16 Sec. 5-1006. Home Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax.
17 Any county that is a home rule unit may impose a tax upon all
18 persons engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
19 property, other than an item of tangible personal property
20 titled or registered with an agency of this State's
21 government, at retail in the county on the gross receipts
22 from such sales made in the course of their business. If
23 imposed, this tax shall only be imposed in 1/4% increments.
24 On and after September 1, 1991, this additional tax may not
25 be imposed on the sales of food for human consumption which
26 is to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other
27 than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and food which has been
28 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
29 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
30 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used
31 by diabetics. The tax imposed by a home rule county pursuant
32 to this Section and all civil penalties that may be assessed
SB374 Enrolled -16- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 as an incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
2 State Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration
3 that is issued by the Department to a retailer under the
4 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to
5 engage in a business that is taxable under any ordinance or
6 resolution enacted pursuant to this Section without
7 registering separately with the Department under such
8 ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The
9 Department shall have full power to administer and enforce
10 this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties due
11 hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
12 the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights
13 to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
14 payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration
15 of, and compliance with, this Section, the Department and
16 persons who are subject to this Section shall have the same
17 rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties,
18 and be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
19 limitations, penalties and definitions of terms, and employ
20 the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1,
21 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2 through 2-65 (in respect to
22 all provisions therein other than the State rate of tax), 4,
23 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b,
24 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation
25 Tax Act and Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest
26 Act, as fully as if those provisions were set forth herein.
27 No tax may be imposed by a home rule county pursuant to
28 this Section unless the county also imposes a tax at the same
29 rate pursuant to Section 5-1007.
30 Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
31 authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves
32 for their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately
33 stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be
34 stated in combination, in a single amount, with State tax
SB374 Enrolled -17- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 which sellers are required to collect under the Use Tax Act,
2 pursuant to such bracket schedules as the Department may
3 prescribe.
4 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
5 be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
6 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
7 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
8 amount specified and to the person named in the notification
9 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
10 Treasurer out of the home rule county retailers' occupation
11 tax fund.
12 The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
13 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
14 collected hereunder. On or before the 25th day of each
15 calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to
16 the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to
17 named counties, the counties to be those from which retailers
18 have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the Department
19 during the second preceding calendar month. The amount to be
20 paid to each county shall be the amount (not including credit
21 memoranda) collected hereunder during the second preceding
22 calendar month by the Department plus an amount the
23 Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
24 were erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not
25 including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
26 during the second preceding calendar month by the Department
27 on behalf of such county, and not including any amount which
28 the Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts
29 which were payable to a different taxing body but were
30 erroneously paid to the county. Within 10 days after receipt,
31 by the Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the
32 counties provided for in this Section to be given to the
33 Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause
34 the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in
SB374 Enrolled -18- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 accordance with the directions contained in the
2 certification.
3 In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
4 paragraph, an allocation shall be made in March of each year
5 to each county that received more than $500,000 in
6 disbursements under the preceding paragraph in the preceding
7 calendar year. The allocation shall be in an amount equal to
8 the average monthly distribution made to each such county
9 under the preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar
10 year (excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The
11 distribution made in March of each year subsequent to the
12 year in which an allocation was made pursuant to this
13 paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
14 amount allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the
15 preceding calendar year. The Department shall prepare and
16 certify to the Comptroller for disbursement the allocations
17 made in accordance with this paragraph.
18 For the purpose of determining the local governmental
19 unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of
20 coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
21 at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
22 Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does
23 not apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
24 shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
25 Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the United States
26 Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce. For
27 purposes of determining the local governmental unit whose tax
28 is applicable under Section 2-5(32) of the Retailers'
29 Occupation Tax Act, a retail sale by a lessor is a sale at
30 retail at the place where leased tangible personal property
31 is located.
32 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
33 county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
34 business which under the Constitution of the United States
SB374 Enrolled -19- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
2 An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a
3 tax hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall
4 be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the
5 Department on or before the first day of June, whereupon the
6 Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
7 Section as of the first day of September next following such
8 adoption and filing. Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance
9 or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax hereunder or
10 effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be adopted and a
11 certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or before
12 the first day of July, whereupon the Department shall proceed
13 to administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of
14 October next following such adoption and filing. Beginning
15 January 1, 1993, an ordinance or resolution imposing or
16 discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a change in the
17 rate thereof shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof
18 filed with the Department on or before the first day of
19 October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
20 and enforce this Section as of the first day of January next
21 following such adoption and filing.
22 When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
23 county under this Section, the Department shall increase or
24 decrease such amount by an amount necessary to offset any
25 misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
26 shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
27 6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.
28 This Section shall be known and may be cited as the "Home
29 Rule County Retailers' Occupation Tax Law".

33 For Public Safety.
SB374 Enrolled -20- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 (a) The county board of any county with a population in

5 property, other than personal property titled or registered
6 with an agency of this State's government, at retail in the
7 county on the gross receipts from the sales made in the
8 course of business to provide revenue to be used exclusively
9 for public safety purposes in that county, if a proposition
10 for the tax has been submitted to the electors of that county
11 and approved by a majority of those voting on the question.
12 If imposed, this tax shall be imposed only in one-quarter
13 percent increments. By resolution, the county board may order
14 the proposition to be submitted at any election. The county
15 clerk shall certify the question to the proper election
16 authority, who shall submit the proposition at an election in
17 accordance with the general election law.
18 The proposition shall be in substantially the following
19 form:
20 "Shall (name of county) be authorized to impose a
21 public safety tax at the rate of .... upon all persons
22 engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
23 property at retail in the county on gross receipts from
24 the sales made in the course of their business to be used
25 for crime prevention, detention, and other public safety
26 purposes?"
27 Votes shall be recorded as Yes or No. If a majority of the
28 electors voting on the proposition vote in favor of it, the
29 county may impose the tax.
30 This additional tax may not be imposed on the sales of
31 food for human consumption that is to be consumed off the
32 premises where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages,

1 drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine testing
2 materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics. The tax
3 imposed by a county under this Section and all civil
4 penalties that may be assessed as an incident of the tax
5 shall be collected and enforced by the Illinois Department of
6 Revenue. The certificate of registration that is issued by
7 the Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation
8 Tax Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a business
9 that is taxable without registering separately with the
10 Department under an ordinance or resolution under this
11 Section. The Department has full power to administer and
12 enforce this Section, to collect all taxes and penalties due
13 under this Section, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
14 collected in the manner provided in this Section, and to
15 determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account
16 of the erroneous payment of a tax or penalty under this
17 Section. In the administration of and compliance with this
18 Section, the Department and persons who are subject to this
19 Section shall (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
20 immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to the same
21 conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and

29 11, 11a, 12, and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and
30 Section 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as if
31 those provisions were set forth in this Section.
32 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
33 granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
34 sellers' tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
SB374 Enrolled -22- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
2 in a single amount, with State tax which sellers are required
3 to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such bracketed
4 schedules as the Department may prescribe.
5 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
6 be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
7 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
8 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
9 amount specified and to the person named in the notification
10 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
11 Treasurer out of the County Public Safety Retailers'
12 Occupation Tax Fund.
13 (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
14 service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
15 upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
16 making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
17 sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
18 the county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
19 not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is
20 to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
21 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food prepared for
22 immediate consumption) and prescription and non-prescription
23 medicines, drugs, medical appliances and insulin, urine

2 rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties,
3 (ii) be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,
4 limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions, and
5 definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of

7 the reference to State in the definition of supplier
8 maintaining a place of business in this State shall mean the
9 county), 2a, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions

23 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
24 granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
25 serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the tax as
26 an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
27 combination, in a single amount, with State tax that
28 servicemen are authorized to collect under the Service Use
29 Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket schedules as the
30 Department may prescribe.
31 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
32 be made under this subsection to a claimant instead of
33 issuing a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the
34 State Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn
SB374 Enrolled -24- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 for the amount specified, and to the person named, in the
2 notification from the Department. The refund shall be paid
3 by the State Treasurer out of the County Public Safety
4 Retailers' Occupation Fund.
5 Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to
6 authorize the county to impose a tax upon the privilege of
7 engaging in any business which under the Constitution of the
8 United States may not be made the subject of taxation by the
9 State.
10 (c) The Department shall immediately pay over to the
11 State Treasurer, Ex Officio, as trustee, all taxes and
12 penalties collected under this Section to be deposited into
13 the County Public Safety Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund,
14 which is created in the State treasury. On or before the
15 25th day of each calendar month, the Department shall prepare
16 and certify to the Comptroller the disbursement of stated
17 sums of money to the counties from which retailers have paid
18 taxes or penalties to the Department during the second
19 preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
20 county shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda)
21 collected under this Section during the second preceding
22 calendar month by the Department plus an amount the
23 Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
24 were erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not
25 including (i) an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
26 during the second preceding calendar month by the Department
27 on behalf of the county and (ii) any amount that the
28 Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
29 were payable to a different taxing body but were erroneously
30 paid to the county. Within 10 days after receipt by the
31 Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the counties
32 provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller
33 by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to
34 be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with

1 directions contained in the certification.
2 In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
3 paragraph, an allocation shall be made in March of each year
4 to each county that received more than $500,000 in
5 disbursements under the preceding paragraph in the preceding
6 calendar year. The allocation shall be in an amount equal to
7 the average monthly distribution made to each such county
8 under the preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar
9 year (excluding the 2 months of highest receipts). The
10 distribution made in March of each year subsequent to the
11 year in which an allocation was made pursuant to this
12 paragraph and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the
13 amount allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the
14 preceding calendar year. The Department shall prepare and
15 certify to the Comptroller for disbursement the allocations
16 made in accordance with this paragraph.
17 (d) For the purpose of determining the local
18 governmental unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a
19 producer of coal or another mineral mined in Illinois is a
20 sale at retail at the place where the coal or other mineral
21 mined in Illinois is extracted from the earth. This
22 paragraph does not apply to coal or another mineral when it
23 is delivered or shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a
24 point outside Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the
25 United States Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign
26 commerce. For purposes of determining the local governmental
27 unit whose tax is applicable under Section 2-5(32) of the
28 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, a retail sale by a lessor is a
29 sale at retail at the place where leased tangible personal
30 property is located.
31 (e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to
32 authorize a county to impose a tax upon the privilege of
33 engaging in any business that under the Constitution of the
34 United States may not be made the subject of taxation by this
SB374 Enrolled -26- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 State.
2 (f) The results of any election authorizing a
3 proposition to impose a tax under this Section or effecting a
4 change in the rate of tax shall be certified by the county
5 clerk and filed with the Illinois Department of Revenue on or
6 before the first day of June. The Illinois Department of
7 Revenue shall then proceed to administer and enforce this
8 Section as of the first day of January next following the
9 filing.
10 (g) When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement
11 to a county under this Section, the Department shall increase
12 or decrease the amounts by an amount necessary to offset any
13 miscalculation of previous disbursements. The offset amount
14 shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the previous
15 6 months from the time a miscalculation is discovered.
16 (h) This Section may be cited as the "Special County
17 Occupation Tax For Public Safety Law".

21 (65 ILCS 5/8-11-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-11-1)
22 Sec. 8-11-1. The corporate authorities of a home rule
23 municipality may impose a tax upon all persons engaged in the

4 materials, syringes and needles used by diabetics. The tax
5 imposed by a home rule municipality under this Section and
6 all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident of
7 the tax shall be collected and enforced by the State
8 Department of Revenue. The certificate of registration that
9 is issued by the Department to a retailer under the
10 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to
11 engage in a business that is taxable under any ordinance or
12 resolution enacted pursuant to this Section without
13 registering separately with the Department under such
14 ordinance or resolution or under this Section. The
15 Department shall have full power to administer and enforce

17 hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
18 the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine all rights

23 rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties,
24 and be subject to the same conditions, restrictions,

1 No tax may be imposed by a home rule municipality under
2 this Section unless the municipality also imposes a tax at
3 the same rate under Section 8-11-5 of this Act.
4 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
5 granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
6 seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating that
7 tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
8 combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
9 are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to
10 such bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
11 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
12 be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
13 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
14 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
15 amount specified and to the person named in the notification
16 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
17 Treasurer out of the home rule municipal retailers'
18 occupation tax fund.
19 The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
20 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
21 collected hereunder. On or before the 25th day of each
22 calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to
23 the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to
24 named municipalities, the municipalities to be those from
25 which retailers have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the
26 Department during the second preceding calendar month. The
27 amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount
28 (not including credit memoranda) collected hereunder during
29 the second preceding calendar month by the Department plus an
30 amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any
31 amounts that were erroneously paid to a different taxing
32 body, and not including an amount equal to the amount of
33 refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by
34 the Department on behalf of such municipality, and not
SB374 Enrolled -29- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 including any amount that the Department determines is
2 necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a
3 different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
4 municipality. Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller
5 of the disbursement certification to the municipalities
6 provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller
7 by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to
8 be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
9 directions contained in the certification.
10 In addition to the disbursement required by the preceding
11 paragraph and in order to mitigate delays caused by
12 distribution procedures, an allocation shall, if requested,
13 be made within 10 days after January 14, 1991, and in
14 November of 1991 and each year thereafter, to each
15 municipality that received more than $500,000 during the
16 preceding fiscal year, (July 1 through June 30) whether
17 collected by the municipality or disbursed by the Department
18 as required by this Section. Within 10 days after January 14,
19 1991, participating municipalities shall notify the
20 Department in writing of their intent to participate. In
21 addition, for the initial distribution, participating
22 municipalities shall certify to the Department the amounts
23 collected by the municipality for each month under its home
24 rule occupation and service occupation tax during the period
25 July 1, 1989 through June 30, 1990. The allocation within 10
26 days after January 14, 1991, shall be in an amount equal to
27 the monthly average of these amounts, excluding the 2 months
28 of highest receipts. The monthly average for the period of
29 July 1, 1990 through June 30, 1991 will be determined as
30 follows: the amounts collected by the municipality under its
31 home rule occupation and service occupation tax during the
32 period of July 1, 1990 through September 30, 1990, plus
33 amounts collected by the Department and paid to such
34 municipality through June 30, 1991, excluding the 2 months of
SB374 Enrolled -30- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 highest receipts. The monthly average for each subsequent
2 period of July 1 through June 30 shall be an amount equal to
3 the monthly distribution made to each such municipality under
4 the preceding paragraph during this period, excluding the 2
5 months of highest receipts. The distribution made in
6 November 1991 and each year thereafter under this paragraph
7 and the preceding paragraph shall be reduced by the amount
8 allocated and disbursed under this paragraph in the preceding
9 period of July 1 through June 30. The Department shall
10 prepare and certify to the Comptroller for disbursement the
11 allocations made in accordance with this paragraph.
12 For the purpose of determining the local governmental
13 unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of
14 coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
15 at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
16 Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does
17 not apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
18 shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
19 Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the United States
20 Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce. For
21 purposes of determining the local governmental unit whose tax
22 is applicable under Section 2-5(32) of the Retailers'
23 Occupation Tax Act, a retail sale by a lessor is a sale at
24 retail at the place where leased tangible personal property
25 is located.
26 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
27 municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
28 in any business which under the Constitution of the United
29 States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
30 An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a
31 tax hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall
32 be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the
33 Department on or before the first day of June, whereupon the
34 Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
SB374 Enrolled -31- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 Section as of the first day of September next following the
2 adoption and filing. Beginning January 1, 1992, an ordinance
3 or resolution imposing or discontinuing the tax hereunder or
4 effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be adopted and a
5 certified copy thereof filed with the Department on or before
6 the first day of July, whereupon the Department shall proceed
7 to administer and enforce this Section as of the first day of
8 October next following such adoption and filing. Beginning
9 January 1, 1993, an ordinance or resolution imposing or
10 discontinuing the tax hereunder or effecting a change in the
11 rate thereof shall be adopted and a certified copy thereof
12 filed with the Department on or before the first day of
13 October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
14 and enforce this Section as of the first day of January next
15 following the adoption and filing. However, a municipality
16 located in a county with a population in excess of 3,000,000
17 that elected to become a home rule unit at the general
18 primary election in 1994 may adopt an ordinance or resolution
19 imposing the tax under this Section and file a certified copy
20 of the ordinance or resolution with the Department on or
21 before July 1, 1994. The Department shall then proceed to
22 administer and enforce this Section as of October 1, 1994.
23 When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
24 municipality under this Section, the Department shall
25 increase or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to
26 offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The
27 offset amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed
28 within the previous 6 months from the time a misallocation is
29 discovered.
30 Any unobligated balance remaining in the Municipal
31 Retailers' Occupation Tax Fund on December 31, 1989, which
32 fund was abolished by Public Act 85-1135, and all receipts of
33 municipal tax as a result of audits of liability periods
34 prior to January 1, 1990, shall be paid into the Local
SB374 Enrolled -32- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 Government Tax Fund for distribution as provided by this
2 Section prior to the enactment of Public Act 85-1135. All
3 receipts of municipal tax as a result of an assessment not
4 arising from an audit, for liability periods prior to January
5 1, 1990, shall be paid into the Local Government Tax Fund for
6 distribution before July 1, 1990, as provided by this Section
7 prior to the enactment of Public Act 85-1135; and on and
8 after July 1, 1990, all such receipts shall be distributed as
9 provided in Section 6z-18 of the State Finance Act.

17 Sec. 8-11-1.3. The corporate authorities of a non-home
18 rule municipality with more than 130,000 but less than
19 2,000,000 inhabitants may impose a tax upon all persons
20 engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
21 property, other than on an item of tangible personal property
22 which is titled and registered by an agency of this State's
23 Government, at retail in the municipality at the rate of 1/2
24 of 1% for expenditure on public infrastructure as defined in
25 Section 8-11-1.2 if approved by referendum as provided in
26 Section 8-11-1.1, of the gross receipts from such sales made
27 in the course of such business. The tax imposed by a
28 municipality pursuant to this Section and all civil penalties
29 that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
30 collected and enforced by the State Department of Revenue.
31 The certificate of registration which is issued by the
32 Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
33 Act shall permit such retailer to engage in a business which
SB374 Enrolled -33- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 is taxable under any ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant
2 to this Section without registering separately with the
3 Department under such ordinance or resolution or under this
4 Section. The Department shall have full power to administer
5 and enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties
6 due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected
7 in the manner hereinafter provided, and to determine all
8 rights to credit memoranda, arising on account of the
9 erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
10 administration of, and compliance with, this Section, the
11 Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
12 have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
13 powers and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
14 restrictions, limitations, penalties and definitions of
15 terms, and employ the same modes of procedure, as are
16 prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2
17 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other than
18 the State rate of tax), 2c, 3 (except as to the disposition
19 of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e,

21 12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section
22 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as fully as if
23 those provisions were set forth herein.
24 Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to the
25 authority granted in this Section may reimburse themselves
26 for their seller's tax liability hereunder by separately
27 stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be
28 stated in combination, in a single amount, with State tax
29 which sellers are required to collect under the Use Tax Act,
30 pursuant to such bracket schedules as the Department may
31 prescribe.
32 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
33 be made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
34 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
SB374 Enrolled -34- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
2 amount specified, and to the person named, in such
3 notification from the Department. Such refund shall be paid
4 by the State Treasurer out of the non-home rule municipal
5 retailers' occupation tax fund.
6 The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
7 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
8 collected hereunder. On or before the 25th day of each
9 calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to
10 the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to
11 named municipalities, the municipalities to be those from
12 which retailers have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the
13 Department during the second preceding calendar month. The
14 amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount
15 (not including credit memoranda) collected hereunder during
16 the second preceding calendar month by the Department plus an
17 amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any
18 amounts which were erroneously paid to a different taxing
19 body, and not including an amount equal to the amount of
20 refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by
21 the Department on behalf of such municipality, and not
22 including any amount which the Department determines is
23 necessary to offset any amounts which were payable to a
24 different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
25 municipality. Within 10 days after receipt, by the
26 Comptroller, of the disbursement certification to the
27 municipalities, provided for in this Section to be given to
28 the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall
29 cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in
30 accordance with the directions contained in such
31 certification.
32 For the purpose of determining the local governmental
33 unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale, by a producer of
34 coal or other mineral mined in Illinois, is a sale at retail
SB374 Enrolled -35- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
2 Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does
3 not apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
4 shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
5 Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the Federal
6 Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce. For
7 purposes of determining the local governmental unit whose tax
8 is applicable under Section 2-5(32) of the Retailers'
9 Occupation Tax Act, a retail sale by a lessor is a sale at
10 retail at the place where leased tangible personal property
11 is located.
12 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
13 municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
14 in any business which under the constitution of the United
15 States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
16 When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
17 municipality under this Section, the Department shall
18 increase or decrease such amount by an amount necessary to
19 offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The
20 offset amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed
21 within the previous 6 months from the time a misallocation is
22 discovered.
23 As used in this Section, "municipal" and "municipality"
24 means a city, village or incorporated town, including an

30 Sec. 8-11-1.6. Non-home rule municipal retailers
31 occupation tax; municipalities between 20,000 and 25,000. The
32 corporate authorities of a non-home rule municipality with a
33 population of more than 20,000 but less than 25,000 that has,
SB374 Enrolled -36- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 prior to January 1, 1987, established a Redevelopment Project
2 Area that has been certified as a State Sales Tax Boundary
3 and has issued bonds or otherwise incurred indebtedness to
4 pay for costs in excess of $5,000,000, which is secured in
5 part by a tax increment allocation fund, in accordance with
6 the provisions of Division 11-74.4 of this Code may, by
7 passage of an ordinance, impose a tax upon all persons
8 engaged in the business of selling tangible personal
9 property, other than on an item of tangible personal property
10 that is titled and registered by an agency of this State's
11 Government, at retail in the municipality. This tax may not
12 be imposed on the sales of food for human consumption that is
13 to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
14 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food that has been
15 prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription and
16 nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
17 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes, and needles used
18 by diabetics. If imposed, the tax shall only be imposed in
19 .25% increments of the gross receipts from such sales made in
20 the course of business. Any tax imposed by a municipality
21 under this Sec. and all civil penalties that may be assessed
22 as an incident thereof shall be collected and enforced by the
23 State Department of Revenue. An ordinance imposing a tax
24 hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be
25 adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with the
26 Department on or before the first day of October, whereupon
27 the Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
28 Section as of the first day of January next following such
29 adoption and filing. The certificate of registration that is
30 issued by the Department to a retailer under the Retailers'
31 Occupation Tax Act shall permit the retailer to engage in a
32 business that is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
33 enacted under this Section without registering separately
34 with the Department under the ordinance or resolution or
SB374 Enrolled -37- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 under this Section. The Department shall have full power to
2 administer and enforce this Section, to collect all taxes and
3 penalties due hereunder, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
4 collected in the manner hereinafter provided, and to
5 determine all rights to credit memoranda, arising on account
6 of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the
7 administration of, and compliance with this Section, the
8 Department and persons who are subject to this Section shall
9 have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
10 powers, and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
11 restrictions, limitations, penalties, and definitions of
12 terms, and employ the same modes of procedure, as are
13 prescribed in Sections 1, 1a, 1a-1, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1i, 1j, 2
14 through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other than

18 12 and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and Section
19 3-7 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as fully as if
20 those provisions were set forth herein.
21 A tax may not be imposed by a municipality under this
22 Section unless the municipality also imposes a tax at the
23 same rate under Section 8-11-1.7 of this Act.
24 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
25 granted in this Section, may reimburse themselves for their
26 seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the
27 tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
28 combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
29 are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to
30 such bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
31 Whenever the Department determines that a refund should
32 be made under this Section to a claimant, instead of issuing
33 a credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
34 Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
SB374 Enrolled -38- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 amount specified, and to the person named in the notification
2 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
3 Treasurer out of the Non-Home Rule Municipal Retailers'
4 Occupation Tax Fund, which is hereby created.
5 The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
6 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
7 collected hereunder. On or before the 25th day of each
8 calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to
9 the Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to
10 named municipalities, the municipalities to be those from
11 which retailers have paid taxes or penalties hereunder to the
12 Department during the second preceding calendar month. The
13 amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount
14 (not including credit memoranda) collected hereunder during
15 the second preceding calendar month by the Department plus an
16 amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any
17 amounts that were erroneously paid to a different taxing
18 body, and not including an amount equal to the amount of
19 refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by
20 the Department on behalf of the municipality, and not
21 including any amount that the Department determines is
22 necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a
23 different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
24 municipality. Within 10 days after receipt by the
25 Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the
26 municipalities provided for in this Section to be given to
27 the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall
28 cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in
29 accordance with the directions contained in the
30 certification.
31 For the purpose of determining the local governmental
32 unit whose tax is applicable, a retail sale by a producer of
33 coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail
34 at the place where the coal or other mineral mined in
SB374 Enrolled -39- LRB9002207DNmbB
1 Illinois is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does
2 not apply to coal or other mineral when it is delivered or
3 shipped by the seller to the purchaser at a point outside
4 Illinois so that the sale is exempt under the federal
5 Constitution as a sale in interstate or foreign commerce. For
6 purposes of determining the local governmental unit whose tax
7 is applicable under Section 2-5(32) of the Retailers'
8 Occupation Tax Act, a retail sale by a lessor is a sale at
9 retail at the place where leased tangible personal property
10 is located.
11 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
12 municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
13 in any business which under the constitution of the United
14 States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
15 When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
16 municipality under this Section, the Department shall
17 increase or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to
18 offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The
