8 Sec. 6z-18. A portion of the money paid into the Local
9 Government Tax Fund from sales of food for human consumption

12 has been prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription
13 and nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
14 insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and needles used
15 by diabetics, which occurred in municipalities, shall be
16 distributed to each municipality based upon the sales which
17 occurred in that municipality. The remainder shall be

20 A portion of the money paid into the Local Government Tax
21 Fund from the 6.25% general use tax rate on the selling price
22 of tangible personal property which is purchased outside
23 Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is titled or
24 registered by any agency of this State's government shall be
25 distributed to municipalities as provided in this paragraph.
26 Each municipality shall receive the amount attributable to
27 sales for which Illinois addresses for titling or
28 registration purposes are given as being in such
29 municipality. The remainder of the money paid into the Local
30 Government Tax Fund from such sales shall be distributed to
31 counties. Each county shall receive the amount attributable
-2- LRB9100610PTpk
1 to sales for which Illinois addresses for titling or
2 registration purposes are given as being located in the
3 unincorporated area of such county.
4 A portion of the money paid into the Local Government Tax
5 Fund from the 6.25% general rate on sales, except sales of
6 tangible personal property that is titled or registered by an
7 agency of this State's government, subject to taxation under
8 the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Service Occupation
9 Tax Act, which occurred in municipalities, shall be
10 distributed to each municipality, based upon the sales which
11 occurred in that municipality. The remainder shall be
12 distributed to each county, based upon the sales which
13 occurred in the unincorporated area of such county.
14 A portion of the money paid into the Local Government Tax
15 Fund from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of
16 tangible personal property purchased in this State at retail
17 from a retailer and that is titled or registered by any
18 agency of this State's government shall be distributed to
19 municipalities and counties as provided in this paragraph.
20 Each municipality and county shall receive one-half of the
21 amount attributable to sales for which Illinois addresses for
22 titling or registration purposes are given as being in that
23 municipality or in the unincorporated area of the county,
24 respectively. Each municipality and county shall receive

31 attributable to the sale.
32 For the purpose of determining allocation to the local
33 government unit, a retail sale by a producer of coal or other
34 mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail at the place
-3- LRB9100610PTpk
1 where the coal or other mineral mined in Illinois is
2 extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to
3 coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
4 seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that
5 the sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a
6 sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
7 Whenever the Department determines that a refund of money
8 paid into the Local Government Tax Fund should be made to a
9 claimant instead of issuing a credit memorandum, the
10 Department shall notify the State Comptroller, who shall
11 cause the order to be drawn for the amount specified, and to
12 the person named, in such notification from the Department.
13 Such refund shall be paid by the State Treasurer out of the

15 On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
16 Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
17 disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities
18 and counties, the municipalities and counties to be those

21 amount to be paid to each municipality or county shall be the
22 amount (not including credit memoranda) collected during the
23 second preceding calendar month by the Department and paid
24 into the Local Government Tax Fund, plus an amount the
25 Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts
26 which were erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and
27 not including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
28 during the second preceding calendar month by the Department,
29 and not including any amount which the Department determines

10 within the 6 months preceding the time a misallocation is
11 discovered.
12 The provisions directing the distributions from the
13 special fund in the State Treasury provided for in this
14 Section shall constitute an irrevocable and continuing
15 appropriation of all amounts as provided herein. The State
16 Treasurer and State Comptroller are hereby authorized to make
17 distributions as provided in this Section.
18 In construing any development, redevelopment, annexation,
19 preannexation or other lawful agreement in effect prior to
20 September 1, 1990, which describes or refers to receipts from
21 a county or municipal retailers' occupation tax, use tax or
