Section 30. The Use Tax Act is amended by changing Section

SB1281 - 24 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
9 as follows:
(35 ILCS 105/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.9)
Sec. 9. Except as to motor vehicles, watercraft, aircraft,
and trailers that are required to be registered with an agency
of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
when he is required to file his return for the period during
which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to
reimburse the retailer for expenses incurred in collecting the
tax, keeping records, preparing and filing returns, remitting
the tax and supplying data to the Department on request. In the
case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount
allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are
filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
registration has become final. A retailer need not remit that
part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is

SB1281 - 25 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
required to remit and does remit the tax imposed by the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, with respect to the sale of the
same property.
Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for
each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
the selling price actually received during such tax return
period.
Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
such information as the Department may reasonably require. On
and after January 1, 2018, except for returns for motor
vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
to be registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,
all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
filed electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do
not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in
filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the

SB1281 - 26 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
electronic filing requirement.
The Department may require returns to be filed on a
quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
1. The name of the seller;
2. The address of the principal place of business from
which he engages in the business of selling tangible
personal property at retail in this State;
3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
personal property by him during such preceding calendar
month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
less all deductions allowed by law;
4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
Act;
5. The amount of tax due;
5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
may require.
If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be

SB1281 - 27 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer.

SB1281 - 28 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
with the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
requirements of this Section.
Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service
Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
22nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,

SB1281 - 29 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
next following the month during which such tax liability is
incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on

SB1281 - 30 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest
liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future

SB1281 - 31 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
average monthly liability to the Department during the
preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
4 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such
taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the

SB1281 - 32 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
on other than a calendar monthly basis.
If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess
payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by

SB1281 - 33 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
with the return for January, February, and March of a given
year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
for October, November and December of a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
returns.

SB1281 - 34 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
business.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
for each such item of tangible personal property which the
retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting

SB1281 - 35 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a
Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
connection with such business, sells any such item to a
retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the
transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
manner and form as required by the Department.
The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price

SB1281 - 36 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
identification of the property sold; such other information as
is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
such other information as the Department may reasonably
require.
The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by

SB1281 - 37 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
information as the Department may reasonably require.
Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
that this procedure will expedite the processing of
applications for title or registration.
With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property

SB1281 - 38 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
tangible personal property.
No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
mandate of this paragraph.
If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department
being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
the information required by the transaction reporting return
and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount

SB1281 - 39 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no
deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
purchaser.
Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall

SB1281 - 40 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
return.
If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
Acts on the one form.
Where the retailer has more than one business registered
with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
separate returns for each such registered business.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net
revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax
imposed under this Act.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the
net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
general rate on the selling price of tangible personal property
which is purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer
and which is titled or registered by an agency of this State's

the Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the last

business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount
required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account
in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the amount

Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget). If on

SB1281 - 45 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the last business day of any month in which Bonds are
outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the
aggregate of the moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond
Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less
than the amount required to be transferred in such month from
the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois Fund;
provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build Illinois
Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the
preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount otherwise
payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b) of the
preceding sentence. The moneys received by the Department
pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the
Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and charge
set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond Act.
Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund

deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund by

Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
enacted, beginning July 1, 1993 and ending on September 30,
2013, the Department shall each month pay into the Illinois Tax

SB1281 - 49 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of the net revenue realized for the
preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling
price of tangible personal property.
Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
enacted, beginning with the receipt of the first report of
taxes paid by an eligible business and continuing for a 25-year
period, the Department shall each month pay into the Energy
Infrastructure Fund 80% of the net revenue realized from the
6.25% general rate on the selling price of Illinois-mined coal
that was sold to an eligible business. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term "eligible business" means a new electric
generating facility certified pursuant to Section 605-332 of
the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law of the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund,
the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund, the Illinois Tax
Increment Fund, and the Energy Infrastructure Fund pursuant to
the preceding paragraphs or in any amendments to this Section
hereafter enacted, beginning on the first day of the first
calendar month to occur on or after August 26, 2014 (the
effective date of Public Act 98-1098), each month, from the
collections made under Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9
of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Occupation
Tax Act, and Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,

SB1281 - 50 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the Department shall pay into the Tax Compliance and

the cash receipts collected during the preceding fiscal year by
the Audit Bureau of the Department under the Use Tax Act, the

Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and associated local occupation
and use taxes administered by the Department.
Subject to payments of amounts into the Build Illinois

Tax Increment Fund, the Energy Infrastructure Fund, and the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund as provided in this Section,
beginning on July 1, 2018 the Department shall pay each month

overpayment of liability.
For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to such
sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make written

Section 35. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by changing
Section 9 as follows:
(35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he

SB1281 - 52 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
is required to file his return for the period during which such
tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
1990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping
records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and
supplying data to the Department on request. The discount
allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are
filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
disallow the discount for servicemen whose certificate of
registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
registration has become final. A serviceman need not remit that
part of any tax collected by him to the extent that he is
required to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the Service
Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of service
involving the incidental transfer by him of the same property.
Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month
in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to be
promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed on a
form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
information as the Department may reasonably require. On and
after January 1, 2018, with respect to servicemen whose annual
gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all returns required to

SB1281 - 53 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
be filed pursuant to this Act shall be filed electronically.
Servicemen who demonstrate that they do not have access to the
Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing electronically may
petition the Department to waive the electronic filing
requirement.
The Department may require returns to be filed on a
quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
1. The name of the seller;
2. The address of the principal place of business from
which he engages in business as a serviceman in this State;
3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
during the preceding calendar month, including receipts
from charge and time sales, but less all deductions allowed
by law;
4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
Act;
5. The amount of tax due;
5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
may require.
If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after

SB1281 - 54 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make

SB1281 - 55 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer.
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
with the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
requirements of this Section.
If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
with the return for January, February and March of a given year
being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
with the return for July, August and September of a given year
being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for

SB1281 - 56 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
October, November and December of a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax
liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
discontinuing such business.
Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from

SB1281 - 57 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall
previously have been remitted to the Department by such
serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall be
entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to
the purchaser.
Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also include
the total tax upon the selling price of tangible personal
property purchased for use by him as an incident to a sale of
service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of such tax
to the Department when filing such return.
If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
Acts on the one form.
Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
with the Department under separate registration hereunder,
such serviceman shall not file each return that is due as a
single return covering all such registered businesses, but
shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall

SB1281 - 58 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
pay into the State and Local Tax Reform Fund, a special fund in
the State Treasury, the net revenue realized for the preceding
month from the 1% tax imposed under this Act.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 20% of the
net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25%
general rate on transfers of tangible personal property, other
than tangible personal property which is purchased outside
Illinois at retail from a retailer and which is titled or
registered by an agency of this State's government.
Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund 100% of the
net revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1.25%
rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
Beginning October 1, 2009, each month the Department shall
pay into the Capital Projects Fund an amount that is equal to
an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the
net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of
candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had
been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that
are now taxed at 6.25%.
Beginning July 1, 2013, each month the Department shall pay
into the Underground Storage Tank Fund from the proceeds
collected under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act an
amount equal to the average monthly deficit in the Underground

SB1281 - 59 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Storage Tank Fund during the prior year, as certified annually
by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, but the total
payment into the Underground Storage Tank Fund under this Act,
the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed $18,000,000 in
any State fiscal year. As used in this paragraph, the "average
monthly deficit" shall be equal to the difference between the
average monthly claims for payment by the fund and the average
monthly revenues deposited into the fund, excluding payments
made pursuant to this paragraph.
Beginning July 1, 2015, of the remainder of the moneys
received by the Department under the Use Tax Act, this Act, the
Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act, each month the Department shall deposit $500,000 into the
State Crime Laboratory Fund.
Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
pursuant to this Act, (a) 1.75% thereof shall be paid into the
Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
may be, of the moneys received by the Department and required
to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to Section 3
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax
Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the
Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called

SB1281 - 60 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case
may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act
Amount", and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois
Fund from the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall be
less than the Annual Specified Amount (as defined in Section 3
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), an amount equal to the
difference shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois
Fund from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to
the Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the last
business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount
required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account
in the Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the amount
transferred during such month to the Build Illinois Fund from
the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less
than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to
the difference shall be immediately paid into the Build
Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the Department
pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided, that in no
event shall the payments required under the preceding proviso
result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund
pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of
the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual
Specified Amount for such fiscal year; and, further provided,
that the amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under

SB1281 - 61 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Bonds issued and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois
Bond Act is sufficient, taking into account any future

secured by such indenture and on any Bonds expected to be
issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable with respect
thereto, all as certified by the Director of the Bureau of the
Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget). If on
the last business day of any month in which Bonds are
outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the
aggregate of the moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond
Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less
than the amount required to be transferred in such month from
the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois Fund;
provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build Illinois
Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the
preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount otherwise
payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b) of the
preceding sentence. The moneys received by the Department
pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the

SB1281 - 62 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b

Section 40. The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
changing Section 9 as follows:

SB1281 - 68 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
(35 ILCS 115/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.109)
Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
of such tax at the time when he is required to file his return
for the period during which such tax was collectible, less a
discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and
after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year, whichever is
greater, which is allowed to reimburse the serviceman for
expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping records,
preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
data to the Department on request. The discount allowed under
this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed in the
manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow the
discount for servicemen whose certificate of registration is
revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
registration has become final.
Where such tangible personal property is sold under a
conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
filed, the serviceman, in collecting the tax may collect, for
each tax return period, only the tax applicable to the part of
the selling price actually received during such tax return
period.
Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or

SB1281 - 69 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month
in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
promulgated by the Department of Revenue. Such return shall be
filed on a form prescribed by the Department and shall contain
such information as the Department may reasonably require. On
and after January 1, 2018, with respect to servicemen whose
annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all returns
required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be filed
electronically. Servicemen who demonstrate that they do not
have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing
electronically may petition the Department to waive the
electronic filing requirement.
The Department may require returns to be filed on a
quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
1. The name of the seller;
2. The address of the principal place of business from
which he engages in business as a serviceman in this State;
3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
during the preceding calendar month, including receipts
from charge and time sales, but less all deductions allowed

SB1281 - 70 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
by law;
4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
Act;
5. The amount of tax due;
5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
may require.
If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1,
2004 a serviceman may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Service Use
Tax as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act if
the purchaser provides the appropriate documentation as
required by Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax Act. A
Manufacturer's Purchase Credit certification, accepted prior
to October 1, 2003 or on or after September 1, 2004 by a
serviceman as provided in Section 3-70 of the Service Use Tax
Act, may be used by that serviceman to satisfy Service
Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in the
certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject to
tax from a qualifying purchase. A Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit reported on any original or amended return filed under
this Act after October 20, 2003 for reporting periods prior to

SB1281 - 71 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
September 1, 2004 shall be disallowed. Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit reported on annual returns due on or after January 1,
2005 will be disallowed for periods prior to September 1, 2004.
No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be used after September
30, 2003 through August 31, 2004 to satisfy any tax liability
imposed under this Act, including any audit liability.
If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
return for January, February and March of a given year being
due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April, May
and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year; with
the return for July, August and September of a given year being
due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
October, November and December of a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
If the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to the
Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return for
a given year being due by January 20 of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of

SB1281 - 72 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
discontinuing such business.
Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of

SB1281 - 73 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer.
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
with the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
requirements of this Section.
Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
property and the serviceman refunds the selling price thereof
to the purchaser, such serviceman shall also refund, to the
purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
purchaser, the serviceman may deduct the amount of the tax so

SB1281 - 74 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
refunded by him to the purchaser from any other Service
Occupation Tax, Service Use Tax, Retailers' Occupation Tax or
Use Tax which such serviceman may be required to pay or remit
to the Department, as shown by such return, provided that the
amount of the tax to be deducted shall previously have been
remitted to the Department by such serviceman. If the
serviceman shall not previously have remitted the amount of
such tax to the Department, he shall be entitled to no
deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to the purchaser.
If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act, the Use Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, to furnish all
the return information required by all said Acts on the one
form.
Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
with the Department under separate registrations hereunder,
such serviceman shall file separate returns for each registered
business.

the preceding month from the 1% tax imposed under this Act.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 4% of the
revenue realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general

SB1281 - 75 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
rate.
Beginning August 1, 2000, each month the Department shall
pay into the County and Mass Transit District Fund 20% of the

rate on the selling price of motor fuel and gasohol.
Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the revenue

an amount estimated by the Department to represent 80% of the
net revenue realized for the preceding month from the sale of
candy, grooming and hygiene products, and soft drinks that had
been taxed at a rate of 1% prior to September 1, 2009 but that
are now taxed at 6.25%.
Beginning July 1, 2013, each month the Department shall pay
into the Underground Storage Tank Fund from the proceeds
collected under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax
Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act an amount equal to
the average monthly deficit in the Underground Storage Tank
Fund during the prior year, as certified annually by the

SB1281 - 76 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, but the total
payment into the Underground Storage Tank Fund under this Act,
the Use Tax Act, the Service Use Tax Act, and the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act shall not exceed $18,000,000 in any State
fiscal year. As used in this paragraph, the "average monthly
deficit" shall be equal to the difference between the average
monthly claims for payment by the fund and the average monthly
revenues deposited into the fund, excluding payments made
pursuant to this paragraph.
Beginning July 1, 2015, of the remainder of the moneys
received by the Department under the Use Tax Act, the Service
Use Tax Act, this Act, and the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
each month the Department shall deposit $500,000 into the State
Crime Laboratory Fund.
Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department

Build Illinois Fund and (b) prior to July 1, 1989, 2.2% and on
and after July 1, 1989, 3.8% thereof shall be paid into the
Build Illinois Fund; provided, however, that if in any fiscal
year the sum of (1) the aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case

to be paid into the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to Section 3
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax
Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the
Service Occupation Tax Act, such Acts being hereinafter called
the "Tax Acts" and such aggregate of 2.2% or 3.8%, as the case

SB1281 - 77 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
may be, of moneys being hereinafter called the "Tax Act
Amount", and (2) the amount transferred to the Build Illinois

less than the Annual Specified Amount (as defined in Section 3
of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), an amount equal to the
difference shall be immediately paid into the Build Illinois
Fund from other moneys received by the Department pursuant to
the Tax Acts; and further provided, that if on the last
business day of any month the sum of (1) the Tax Act Amount
required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Account in the
Build Illinois Fund during such month and (2) the amount
transferred during such month to the Build Illinois Fund from
the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund shall have been less
than 1/12 of the Annual Specified Amount, an amount equal to
the difference shall be immediately paid into the Build
Illinois Fund from other moneys received by the Department
pursuant to the Tax Acts; and, further provided, that in no
event shall the payments required under the preceding proviso
result in aggregate payments into the Build Illinois Fund
pursuant to this clause (b) for any fiscal year in excess of
the greater of (i) the Tax Act Amount or (ii) the Annual
Specified Amount for such fiscal year; and, further provided,
that the amounts payable into the Build Illinois Fund under
this clause (b) shall be payable only until such time as the
aggregate amount on deposit under each trust indenture securing
Bonds issued and outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois

SB1281 - 78 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Bond Act is sufficient, taking into account any future
investment income, to fully provide, in accordance with such
indenture, for the defeasance of or the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
secured by such indenture and on any Bonds expected to be
issued thereafter and all fees and costs payable with respect
thereto, all as certified by the Director of the Bureau of the
Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget). If on
the last business day of any month in which Bonds are
outstanding pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act, the
aggregate of the moneys deposited in the Build Illinois Bond
Account in the Build Illinois Fund in such month shall be less
than the amount required to be transferred in such month from
the Build Illinois Bond Account to the Build Illinois Bond
Retirement and Interest Fund pursuant to Section 13 of the
Build Illinois Bond Act, an amount equal to such deficiency
shall be immediately paid from other moneys received by the
Department pursuant to the Tax Acts to the Build Illinois Fund;
provided, however, that any amounts paid to the Build Illinois
Fund in any fiscal year pursuant to this sentence shall be
deemed to constitute payments pursuant to clause (b) of the
preceding sentence and shall reduce the amount otherwise
payable for such fiscal year pursuant to clause (b) of the
preceding sentence. The moneys received by the Department
pursuant to this Act and required to be deposited into the
Build Illinois Fund are subject to the pledge, claim and charge

SB1281 - 79 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
set forth in Section 12 of the Build Illinois Bond Act.

certificate of the Chairman of the Metropolitan Public Pier and
Exposition Authority for that fiscal year, less the amount
deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund by
the State Treasurer in the respective month under subsection
(g) of Section 13 of the Metropolitan Public Pier and

SB1281 - 82 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
years, shall be deposited into the McCormick Place Expansion
Project Fund, until the full amount requested for the fiscal

Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
enacted, beginning July 1, 1993 and ending on September 30,
2013, the Department shall each month pay into the Illinois Tax
Increment Fund 0.27% of 80% of the net revenue realized for the
preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on the selling

Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund
and the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund pursuant to the
preceding paragraphs or in any amendments thereto hereafter
enacted, beginning with the receipt of the first report of
taxes paid by an eligible business and continuing for a 25-year
period, the Department shall each month pay into the Energy
Infrastructure Fund 80% of the net revenue realized from the
6.25% general rate on the selling price of Illinois-mined coal
that was sold to an eligible business. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term "eligible business" means a new electric
generating facility certified pursuant to Section 605-332 of
the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law of the
Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
Subject to payment of amounts into the Build Illinois Fund,

SB1281 - 83 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund, the Illinois Tax
Increment Fund, and the Energy Infrastructure Fund pursuant to
the preceding paragraphs or in any amendments to this Section
hereafter enacted, beginning on the first day of the first
calendar month to occur on or after August 26, 2014 (the
effective date of Public Act 98-1098), each month, from the
collections made under Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9
of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Occupation
Tax Act, and Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
the Department shall pay into the Tax Compliance and
Administration Fund, to be used, subject to appropriation, to
fund additional auditors and compliance personnel at the
Department of Revenue, an amount equal to 1/12 of 5% of 80% of
the cash receipts collected during the preceding fiscal year by
the Audit Bureau of the Department under the Use Tax Act, the
Service Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and associated local occupation
and use taxes administered by the Department.
Subject to payments of amounts into the Build Illinois
Fund, the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund, the Illinois
Tax Increment Fund, the Energy Infrastructure Fund, and the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund as provided in this Section,
beginning on July 1, 2018 the Department shall pay each month
into the Downstate Public Transportation Fund the moneys
required to be so paid under Section 2-3 of the Downstate
Public Transportation Act.

SB1281 - 84 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Of the remainder of the moneys received by the Department
pursuant to this Act, 75% shall be paid into the General
Revenue Fund of the State Treasury and 25% shall be reserved in
a special account and used only for the transfer to the Common
School Fund as part of the monthly transfer from the General
Revenue Fund in accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance
Act.
The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
of gross receipts as shown by the taxpayer's last Federal
income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
reported in the Federal income tax return do not agree with the
gross receipts reported to the Department of Revenue for the
same period, the taxpayer shall attach to his annual return a
schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
reasons for the difference. The taxpayer's annual return to the
Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by the
taxpayer during the year covered by such return, opening and
closing inventories of such goods for such year, cost of goods
used from stock or taken from stock and given away by the
taxpayer during such year, pay roll information of the
taxpayer's business during such year and any additional

SB1281 - 85 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
reasonable information which the Department deems would be
helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly
or annual returns filed by such taxpayer as hereinbefore
provided for in this Section.
If the annual information return required by this Section
is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable
as follows:
(i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be liable
for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such
taxpayer under this Act during the period to be covered by
the annual return for each month or fraction of a month
until such return is filed as required, the penalty to be
assessed and collected in the same manner as any other
penalty provided for in this Act.
(ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
willfully signs the annual return containing false or
inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
return may be liable for perjury.
The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the filing

SB1281 - 86 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
of an annual information return shall not apply to a serviceman
who is not required to file an income tax return with the
United States Government.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon
certification of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller
shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
overpayment of liability.
For greater simplicity of administration, it shall be
permissible for manufacturers, importers and wholesalers whose
products are sold by numerous servicemen in Illinois, and who
wish to do so, to assume the responsibility for accounting and
paying to the Department all tax accruing under this Act with
respect to such sales, if the servicemen who are affected do
not make written objection to the Department to this
arrangement.

Section 45. The Retailers' Occupation Tax Act is amended by
changing Section 3 as follows:
(35 ILCS 120/3) (from Ch. 120, par. 442)
Sec. 3. Except as provided in this Section, on or before
the twentieth day of each calendar month, every person engaged
in the business of selling tangible personal property at retail
in this State during the preceding calendar month shall file a
return with the Department, stating:
1. The name of the seller;
2. His residence address and the address of his
principal place of business and the address of the
principal place of business (if that is a different
address) from which he engages in the business of selling
tangible personal property at retail in this State;
3. Total amount of receipts received by him during the
preceding calendar month or quarter, as the case may be,
from sales of tangible personal property, and from services
furnished, by him during such preceding calendar month or
quarter;
4. Total amount received by him during the preceding
calendar month or quarter on charge and time sales of
tangible personal property, and from services furnished,
by him prior to the month or quarter for which the return
is filed;
5. Deductions allowed by law;

SB1281 - 88 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
6. Gross receipts which were received by him during the
preceding calendar month or quarter and upon the basis of
which the tax is imposed;
7. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
Act;
8. The amount of tax due;
9. The signature of the taxpayer; and
10. Such other reasonable information as the
Department may require.
On and after January 1, 2018, except for returns for motor
vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
to be registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,
all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
filed electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do
not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in
filing electronically may petition the Department to waive the
electronic filing requirement.
If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
Each return shall be accompanied by the statement of
prepaid tax issued pursuant to Section 2e for which credit is
claimed.
Prior to October 1, 2003, and on and after September 1,

SB1281 - 89 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
2004 a retailer may accept a Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
certification from a purchaser in satisfaction of Use Tax as
provided in Section 3-85 of the Use Tax Act if the purchaser
provides the appropriate documentation as required by Section
3-85 of the Use Tax Act. A Manufacturer's Purchase Credit
certification, accepted by a retailer prior to October 1, 2003
and on and after September 1, 2004 as provided in Section 3-85
of the Use Tax Act, may be used by that retailer to satisfy
Retailers' Occupation Tax liability in the amount claimed in
the certification, not to exceed 6.25% of the receipts subject
to tax from a qualifying purchase. A Manufacturer's Purchase
Credit reported on any original or amended return filed under
this Act after October 20, 2003 for reporting periods prior to
September 1, 2004 shall be disallowed. Manufacturer's
Purchaser Credit reported on annual returns due on or after
January 1, 2005 will be disallowed for periods prior to
September 1, 2004. No Manufacturer's Purchase Credit may be
used after September 30, 2003 through August 31, 2004 to
satisfy any tax liability imposed under this Act, including any
audit liability.
The Department may require returns to be filed on a
quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before

SB1281 - 90 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
1. The name of the seller;
2. The address of the principal place of business from
which he engages in the business of selling tangible
personal property at retail in this State;
3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
during the preceding calendar month from sales of tangible
personal property by him during such preceding calendar
month, including receipts from charge and time sales, but
less all deductions allowed by law;
4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
Act;
5. The amount of tax due; and
6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
may require.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, any person who is not a
licensed distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer,
as defined in the Liquor Control Act of 1934, but is engaged in
the business of selling, at retail, alcoholic liquor shall file
a statement with the Department of Revenue, in a format and at
a time prescribed by the Department, showing the total amount
paid for alcoholic liquor purchased during the preceding month
and such other information as is reasonably required by the
Department. The Department may adopt rules to require that this
statement be filed in an electronic or telephonic format. Such
rules may provide for exceptions from the filing requirements

SB1281 - 91 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
of this paragraph. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term
"alcoholic liquor" shall have the meaning prescribed in the
Liquor Control Act of 1934.
Beginning on October 1, 2003, every distributor, importing
distributor, and manufacturer of alcoholic liquor as defined in
the Liquor Control Act of 1934, shall file a statement with the
Department of Revenue, no later than the 10th day of the month
for the preceding month during which transactions occurred, by
electronic means, showing the total amount of gross receipts
from the sale of alcoholic liquor sold or distributed during
the preceding month to purchasers; identifying the purchaser to
whom it was sold or distributed; the purchaser's tax
registration number; and such other information reasonably
required by the Department. A distributor, importing
distributor, or manufacturer of alcoholic liquor must
personally deliver, mail, or provide by electronic means to
each retailer listed on the monthly statement a report
containing a cumulative total of that distributor's, importing
distributor's, or manufacturer's total sales of alcoholic
liquor to that retailer no later than the 10th day of the month
for the preceding month during which the transaction occurred.
The distributor, importing distributor, or manufacturer shall
notify the retailer as to the method by which the distributor,
importing distributor, or manufacturer will provide the sales
information. If the retailer is unable to receive the sales
information by electronic means, the distributor, importing

SB1281 - 92 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
distributor, or manufacturer shall furnish the sales
information by personal delivery or by mail. For purposes of
this paragraph, the term "electronic means" includes, but is
not limited to, the use of a secure Internet website, e-mail,
or facsimile.
If a total amount of less than $1 is payable, refundable or
creditable, such amount shall be disregarded if it is less than
50 cents and shall be increased to $1 if it is 50 cents or more.
Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average
monthly tax liability of $150,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1994, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $100,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
The term "average monthly tax liability" shall be the sum of
the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other

SB1281 - 93 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
funds transfer.
Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer
with the permission of the Department.
All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
in the manner authorized by the Department.
The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
requirements of this Section.
Any amount which is required to be shown or reported on any
return or other document under this Act shall, if such amount
is not a whole-dollar amount, be increased to the nearest
whole-dollar amount in any case where the fractional part of a

SB1281 - 94 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
dollar is 50 cents or more, and decreased to the nearest
whole-dollar amount where the fractional part of a dollar is
less than 50 cents.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
with the return for January, February and March of a given year
being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
with the return for July, August and September of a given year
being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
October, November and December of a given year being due by
January 20 of the following year.
If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or
quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
liability with the Department does not exceed $50, the
Department may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual
basis, with the return for a given year being due by January 20
of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business

SB1281 - 95 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
business.
Where the same person has more than one business registered
with the Department under separate registrations under this
Act, such person may not file each return that is due as a
single return covering all such registered businesses, but
shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
for each such item of tangible personal property which the
retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle
retailer or trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii)
a retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers
transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or
trailer to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
provided in Section 2-5 of this Act, then that seller may
report the transfer of all aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles

SB1281 - 96 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
or trailers involved in that transaction to the Department on
the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting return form.
For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a Class 2,
Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section 3-2 of the
Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal watercraft, or any
boat equipped with an inboard motor.
In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
connection with such business, sells any such item to a
retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the
transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed
under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
manner and form as required by the Department.
Any retailer who sells only motor vehicles, watercraft,
aircraft, or trailers that are required to be registered with
an agency of this State, so that all retailers' occupation tax
liability is required to be reported, and is reported, on such

SB1281 - 97 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
transaction reporting returns and who is not otherwise required
to file monthly or quarterly returns, need not file monthly or
quarterly returns. However, those retailers shall be required
to file returns on an annual basis.
The transaction reporting return, in the case of motor
vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
identification of the property sold; such other information as
is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
such other information as the Department may reasonably
require.
The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft

SB1281 - 98 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
or aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling
price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
information as the Department may reasonably require.
Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
expedite the processing of applications for title or

SB1281 - 99 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
registration.
With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
property that is involved (if titling or registration is
required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
to such tangible personal property.
No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
mandate of this paragraph.
If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not

SB1281 - 100 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
the information required by the transaction reporting return
and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
with respect to such receipts.
Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
accredited agent of such corporation.

SB1281 - 101 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
the limited liability company.
Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
data to the Department on request. Any prepayment made pursuant
to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the amount on
which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the case of
retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction by
transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such discount
shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead of when
such retailer files his periodic return. The discount allowed
under this Section is allowed only for returns that are filed
in the manner required by this Act. The Department may disallow
the discount for retailers whose certificate of registration is
revoked at the time the return is filed, but only if the
Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
registration has become final.
Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly

SB1281 - 102 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
day of the month next following the month during which such tax
liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the
Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
next following the month during which such tax liability is
incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete

SB1281 - 103 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
1989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for

SB1281 - 104 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a
taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
average monthly liability to the Department as computed for

SB1281 - 105 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at
the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
monthly basis.
The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit

SB1281 - 106 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after
January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete

SB1281 - 107 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
previously made payments for that month in excess of the
minimum payments previously due.
The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
1, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in
excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters

SB1281 - 108 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
previously due.
If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department

SB1281 - 109 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
interest on such difference.
If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
to the Department under this Act for the month which the
taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

SB1281 - 120 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the monthly transfer from the General Revenue Fund in
accordance with Section 8a of the State Finance Act.
The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
of gross receipts as shown by the retailer's last Federal
income tax return. If the total receipts of the business as
reported in the Federal income tax return do not agree with the
gross receipts reported to the Department of Revenue for the
same period, the retailer shall attach to his annual return a
schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
reasons for the difference. The retailer's annual return to the
Department shall also disclose the cost of goods sold by the
retailer during the year covered by such return, opening and
closing inventories of such goods for such year, costs of goods
used from stock or taken from stock and given away by the
retailer during such year, payroll information of the
retailer's business during such year and any additional
reasonable information which the Department deems would be
helpful in determining the accuracy of the monthly, quarterly
or annual returns filed by such retailer as provided for in
this Section.
If the annual information return required by this Section

SB1281 - 121 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
is not filed when and as required, the taxpayer shall be liable
as follows:
(i) Until January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall be liable
for a penalty equal to 1/6 of 1% of the tax due from such
taxpayer under this Act during the period to be covered by
the annual return for each month or fraction of a month
until such return is filed as required, the penalty to be
assessed and collected in the same manner as any other
penalty provided for in this Act.
(ii) On and after January 1, 1994, the taxpayer shall
be liable for a penalty as described in Section 3-4 of the
Uniform Penalty and Interest Act.
The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
willfully signs the annual return containing false or
inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
return may be liable for perjury.
The provisions of this Section concerning the filing of an
annual information return do not apply to a retailer who is not
required to file an income tax return with the United States
Government.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month, upon
certification of the Department of Revenue, the Comptroller

SB1281 - 122 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
shall order transferred and the Treasurer shall transfer from
the General Revenue Fund to the Motor Fuel Tax Fund an amount
equal to 1.7% of 80% of the net revenue realized under this Act
for the second preceding month. Beginning April 1, 2000, this
transfer is no longer required and shall not be made.
Net revenue realized for a month shall be the revenue
collected by the State pursuant to this Act, less the amount
paid out during that month as refunds to taxpayers for
overpayment of liability.
For greater simplicity of administration, manufacturers,
importers and wholesalers whose products are sold at retail in
Illinois by numerous retailers, and who wish to do so, may
assume the responsibility for accounting and paying to the
Department all tax accruing under this Act with respect to such
sales, if the retailers who are affected do not make written
objection to the Department to this arrangement.
Any person who promotes, organizes, provides retail
selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers at
the Illinois State Fair, DuQuoin State Fair, county fairs,
local fairs, art shows, flea markets and similar exhibitions or
events, including any transient merchant as defined by Section
2 of the Transient Merchant Act of 1987, is required to file a
report with the Department providing the name of the merchant's
business, the name of the person or persons engaged in
merchant's business, the permanent address and Illinois
Retailers Occupation Tax Registration Number of the merchant,

SB1281 - 123 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the dates and location of the event and other reasonable
information that the Department may require. The report must be
filed not later than the 20th day of the month next following
the month during which the event with retail sales was held.
Any person who fails to file a report required by this Section
commits a business offense and is subject to a fine not to
exceed $250.
Any person engaged in the business of selling tangible
personal property at retail as a concessionaire or other type
of seller at the Illinois State Fair, county fairs, art shows,
flea markets and similar exhibitions or events, or any
transient merchants, as defined by Section 2 of the Transient
Merchant Act of 1987, may be required to make a daily report of
the amount of such sales to the Department and to make a daily
payment of the full amount of tax due. The Department shall
impose this requirement when it finds that there is a
significant risk of loss of revenue to the State at such an
exhibition or event. Such a finding shall be based on evidence
that a substantial number of concessionaires or other sellers
who are not residents of Illinois will be engaging in the
business of selling tangible personal property at retail at the
exhibition or event, or other evidence of a significant risk of
loss of revenue to the State. The Department shall notify
concessionaires and other sellers affected by the imposition of
this requirement. In the absence of notification by the
Department, the concessionaires and other sellers shall file

SB1281 - 124 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
their returns as otherwise required in this Section.

Sec. 29. All moneys received by the Department from the
one-half mill tax imposed by the Sixty-fourth General Assembly
and all interest and penalties, received in connection
therewith under the provisions of this Act shall be paid into
the Metropolitan Fair and Exposition Authority Reconstruction
Fund. All other moneys received by the Department under this
Act shall be paid into the General Revenue Fund in the State
treasury. After there has been paid into the Metropolitan Fair
and Exposition Authority Reconstruction Fund sufficient money
to pay in full both principal and interest, all of the
outstanding bonds issued pursuant to the "Fair and Exposition
Authority Reconstruction Act", the State Treasurer and
Comptroller shall transfer to the General Revenue Fund the
balance of moneys remaining in the Metropolitan Fair and
Exposition Authority Reconstruction Fund except for $2,500,000
which shall remain in the Metropolitan Fair and Exposition
Authority Reconstruction Fund and which may be appropriated by

SB1281 - 125 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the General Assembly for the corporate purposes of the
Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition Authority. All monies
received by the Department in fiscal year 1978 and thereafter
from the one-half mill tax imposed by the Sixty-fourth General
Assembly, and all interest and penalties received in connection
therewith under the provisions of this Act, shall be paid into
the General Revenue Fund, except that the Department shall pay
the first $4,800,000 received in fiscal years 1979 through 2001
from that one-half mill tax into the Metropolitan Fair and
Exposition Authority Reconstruction Fund which monies may be
appropriated by the General Assembly for the corporate purposes
of the Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition Authority.
In fiscal year 2002 and fiscal year 2003, the first
$4,800,000 from the one-half mill tax shall be paid into the
Statewide Economic Development Fund.
All moneys received by the Department in fiscal year 2006
and thereafter from the one-half mill tax imposed by the 64th
General Assembly and all interest and penalties received in
connection with that tax under the provisions of this Act shall
be paid into the General Revenue Fund.

Section 55. The Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act is
amended by changing Sections 3 and 6 as follows:
(35 ILCS 145/3) (from Ch. 120, par. 481b.33)

SB1281 - 126 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Sec. 3. Rate; exemptions.
(a) A tax is imposed upon persons engaged in the business
of renting, leasing or letting rooms in a hotel at the rate of
5% of 94% of the gross rental receipts from such renting,
leasing or letting, excluding, however, from gross rental
receipts, the proceeds of such renting, leasing or letting to
permanent residents of that hotel and proceeds from the tax
imposed under subsection (c) of Section 13 of the Metropolitan
Public Pier and Exposition Authority Act.
(b) There shall be imposed an additional tax upon persons
engaged in the business of renting, leasing or letting rooms in
a hotel at the rate of 1% of 94% of the gross rental receipts
from such renting, leasing or letting, excluding, however, from
gross rental receipts, the proceeds of such renting, leasing or
letting to permanent residents of that hotel and proceeds from
the tax imposed under subsection (c) of Section 13 of the
Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition Authority Act.
(c) No funds received pursuant to this Act shall be used to
advertise for or otherwise promote new competition in the hotel
business.
(d) However, such tax is not imposed upon the privilege of
engaging in any business in Interstate Commerce or otherwise,
which business may not, under the Constitution and Statutes of
the United States, be made the subject of taxation by this
State. In addition, the tax is not imposed upon gross rental
receipts for which the hotel operator is prohibited from

SB1281 - 127 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
obtaining reimbursement for the tax from the customer by reason
of a federal treaty.
(d-5) On and after July 1, 2017, the tax imposed by this
Act shall not apply to gross rental receipts received by an
entity that is organized and operated exclusively for religious
purposes and possesses an active Exemption Identification
Number issued by the Department pursuant to the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act when acting as a hotel operator renting,
leasing, or letting rooms:
(1) in furtherance of the purposes for which it is
organized; or
(2) to entities that (i) are organized and operated
exclusively for religious purposes, (ii) possess an active
Exemption Identification Number issued by the Department
pursuant to the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and (iii)
rent the rooms in furtherance of the purposes for which
they are organized.
No gross rental receipts are exempt under paragraph (2) of
this subsection (d-5) unless the hotel operator obtains the
active Exemption Identification Number from the exclusively
religious entity to whom it is renting and maintains that
number in its books and records. Gross rental receipts from all
rentals other than those described in items (1) or (2) of this
subsection (d-5) are subject to the tax imposed by this Act
unless otherwise exempt under this Act.
This subsection (d-5) is exempt from the sunset provisions

SB1281 - 128 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
of Section 3-5 of this Act.
(e) Persons subject to the tax imposed by this Act may
reimburse themselves for their tax liability under this Act by
separately stating such tax as an additional charge, which
charge may be stated in combination, in a single amount, with
any tax imposed pursuant to Sections 8-3-13 and 8-3-14 of the
Illinois Municipal Code, and Section 25.05-10 of "An Act to
revise the law in relation to counties".
(f) If any hotel operator collects an amount (however
designated) which purports to reimburse such operator for hotel
operators' occupation tax liability measured by receipts which
are not subject to hotel operators' occupation tax, or if any
hotel operator, in collecting an amount (however designated)
which purports to reimburse such operator for hotel operators'
occupation tax liability measured by receipts which are subject
to tax under this Act, collects more from the customer than the
operators' hotel operators' occupation tax liability in the
transaction is, the customer shall have a legal right to claim
a refund of such amount from such operator. However, if such
amount is not refunded to the customer for any reason, the
hotel operator is liable to pay such amount to the Department.

Sec. 6. Filing of returns and distribution of proceeds.
Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or

SB1281 - 129 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
before the last day of each calendar month, every person
engaged in the business of renting, leasing or letting rooms in
a hotel in this State during the preceding calendar month shall
file a return with the Department, stating:
1. The name of the operator;
2. His residence address and the address of his
principal place of business and the address of the
principal place of business (if that is a different
address) from which he engages in the business of renting,
leasing or letting rooms in a hotel in this State;
3. Total amount of rental receipts received by him
during the preceding calendar month from renting, leasing
or letting rooms during such preceding calendar month;
4. Total amount of rental receipts received by him
during the preceding calendar month from renting, leasing
or letting rooms to permanent residents during such
preceding calendar month;
5. Total amount of other exclusions from gross rental
receipts allowed by this Act;
6. Gross rental receipts which were received by him
during the preceding calendar month and upon the basis of
which the tax is imposed;
7. The amount of tax due;
8. Such other reasonable information as the Department
may require.
If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the

SB1281 - 130 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Department does not exceed $200, the Department may authorize
his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis, with the
return for January, February and March of a given year being
due by April 30 of such year; with the return for April, May
and June of a given year being due by July 31 of such year; with
the return for July, August and September of a given year being
due by October 31 of such year, and with the return for
October, November and December of a given year being due by
January 31 of the following year.
If the operator's average monthly tax liability to the
Department does not exceed $50, the Department may authorize
his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with the return for
a given year being due by January 31 of the following year.
Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
the time within which an operator may file his return, in the
case of any operator who ceases to engage in a kind of business
which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
such operator shall file a final return under this Act with the
Department not more than 1 month after discontinuing such
business.
Where the same person has more than 1 business registered
with the Department under separate registrations under this
Act, such person shall not file each return that is due as a

SB1281 - 131 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
single return covering all such registered businesses, but
shall file separate returns for each such registered business.
In his return, the operator shall determine the value of
any consideration other than money received by him in
connection with the renting, leasing or letting of rooms in the
course of his business and he shall include such value in his
return. Such determination shall be subject to review and
revision by the Department in the manner hereinafter provided
for the correction of returns.
Where the operator is a corporation, the return filed on
behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
accredited agent of such corporation.
The person filing the return herein provided for shall, at
the time of filing such return, pay to the Department the
amount of tax herein imposed. The operator filing the return
under this Section shall, at the time of filing such return,
pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this Act
less a discount of 2.1% or $25 per calendar year, whichever is
greater, which is allowed to reimburse the operator for the
expenses incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing
returns, remitting the tax and supplying data to the Department
on request.
If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the
operator's liabilities under this Act, as shown on an original
return, the Department may authorize the operator to credit

SB1281 - 132 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
such excess payment against liability subsequently to be
remitted to the Department under this Act, in accordance with
reasonable rules adopted by the Department. If the Department
subsequently determines that all or any part of the credit
taken was not actually due to the operator, the operator's
discount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference
between the discount as applied to the credit taken and that
actually due, and that operator shall be liable for penalties
and interest on such difference.
There shall be deposited in the Build Illinois Fund in the
State Treasury for each State fiscal year 40% of the amount of
total net proceeds from the tax imposed by subsection (a) of
Section 3. Of the remaining 60%, $5,000,000 shall be deposited
in the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund and credited to the
Subsidy Account each fiscal year by making monthly deposits in
the amount of 1/8 of $5,000,000 plus cumulative deficiencies in
such deposits for prior months, and an additional $8,000,000
shall be deposited in the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund and
credited to the Advance Account each fiscal year by making
monthly deposits in the amount of 1/8 of $8,000,000 plus any
cumulative deficiencies in such deposits for prior months;
provided, that for fiscal years ending after June 30, 2001, the
amount to be so deposited into the Illinois Sports Facilities
Fund and credited to the Advance Account each fiscal year shall
be increased from $8,000,000 to the then applicable Advance
Amount and the required monthly deposits beginning with July

SB1281 - 133 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
2001 shall be in the amount of 1/8 of the then applicable
Advance Amount plus any cumulative deficiencies in those
deposits for prior months. (The deposits of the additional
$8,000,000 or the then applicable Advance Amount, as
applicable, during each fiscal year shall be treated as
advances of funds to the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority
for its corporate purposes to the extent paid to the Authority
or its trustee and shall be repaid into the General Revenue
Fund in the State Treasury by the State Treasurer on behalf of
the Authority pursuant to Section 19 of the Illinois Sports
Facilities Authority Act, as amended. If in any fiscal year the
full amount of the then applicable Advance Amount is not repaid
into the General Revenue Fund, then the deficiency shall be
paid from the amount in the Local Government Distributive Fund
that would otherwise be allocated to the City of Chicago under
the State Revenue Sharing Act.)
For purposes of the foregoing paragraph, the term "Advance
Amount" means, for fiscal year 2002, $22,179,000, and for
subsequent fiscal years through fiscal year 2032, 105.615% of
the Advance Amount for the immediately preceding fiscal year,
rounded up to the nearest $1,000.
Of the remaining 60% of the amount of total net proceeds
prior to August 1, 2011 from the tax imposed by subsection (a)
of Section 3 after all required deposits in the Illinois Sports
Facilities Fund, the amount equal to 8% of the net revenue
realized from this Act plus an amount equal to 8% of the net

SB1281 - 134 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
revenue realized from any tax imposed under Section 4.05 of the
Chicago World's Fair-1992 Authority Act during the preceding
month shall be deposited in the Local Tourism Fund each month
for purposes authorized by Section 605-705 of the Department of
Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law (20 ILCS 605/605-705). Of
the remaining 60% of the amount of total net proceeds beginning
on August 1, 2011 from the tax imposed by subsection (a) of
Section 3 after all required deposits in the Illinois Sports
Facilities Fund, an amount equal to 8% of the net revenue
realized from this Act plus an amount equal to 8% of the net
revenue realized from any tax imposed under Section 4.05 of the
Chicago World's Fair-1992 Authority Act during the preceding
month shall be deposited as follows: 18% of such amount shall
be deposited into the Chicago Travel Industry Promotion Fund
for the purposes described in subsection (n) of Section 5 of
the Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition Authority Act and
the remaining 82% of such amount shall be deposited into the
Local Tourism Fund each month for purposes authorized by
Section 605-705 of the Department of Commerce and Economic
Opportunity Law. Beginning on August 1, 1999 and ending on July
31, 2011, an amount equal to 4.5% of the net revenue realized
from the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act during the
preceding month shall be deposited into the International
Tourism Fund for the purposes authorized in Section 605-707 of
the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law.
Beginning on August 1, 2011, an amount equal to 4.5% of the net

SB1281 - 135 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
revenue realized from this Act during the preceding month shall
be deposited as follows: 55% of such amount shall be deposited
into the Chicago Travel Industry Promotion Fund for the
purposes described in subsection (n) of Section 5 of the
Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition Authority Act and the
remaining 45% of such amount deposited into the International
Tourism Fund for the purposes authorized in Section 605-707 of
the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Law. "Net
revenue realized for a month" means the revenue collected by
the State under that Act during the previous month less the
amount paid out during that same month as refunds to taxpayers
for overpayment of liability under that Act.
After making all these deposits, all other proceeds of the
tax imposed under subsection (a) of Section 3 shall be
deposited in the Tourism Promotion Fund in the State Treasury.
All moneys received by the Department from the additional tax
imposed under subsection (b) of Section 3 shall be deposited
into the Build Illinois Fund in the State Treasury.
The Department may, upon separate written notice to a
taxpayer, require the taxpayer to prepare and file with the
Department on a form prescribed by the Department within not
less than 60 days after receipt of the notice an annual
information return for the tax year specified in the notice.
Such annual return to the Department shall include a statement
of gross receipts as shown by the operator's last State income
tax return. If the total receipts of the business as reported

SB1281 - 136 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
in the State income tax return do not agree with the gross
receipts reported to the Department for the same period, the
operator shall attach to his annual information return a
schedule showing a reconciliation of the 2 amounts and the
reasons for the difference. The operator's annual information
return to the Department shall also disclose pay roll
information of the operator's business during the year covered
by such return and any additional reasonable information which
the Department deems would be helpful in determining the
accuracy of the monthly, quarterly or annual tax returns by
such operator as hereinbefore provided for in this Section.
If the annual information return required by this Section
is not filed when and as required the taxpayer shall be liable
for a penalty in an amount determined in accordance with
Section 3-4 of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act until such
return is filed as required, the penalty to be assessed and
collected in the same manner as any other penalty provided for
in this Act.
The chief executive officer, proprietor, owner or highest
ranking manager shall sign the annual return to certify the
accuracy of the information contained therein. Any person who
willfully signs the annual return containing false or
inaccurate information shall be guilty of perjury and punished
accordingly. The annual return form prescribed by the
Department shall include a warning that the person signing the
return may be liable for perjury.

SB1281 - 137 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
The foregoing portion of this Section concerning the filing
of an annual information return shall not apply to an operator

Section 60. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by
changing Sections 8-3-13, 8-3-14, 8-3-14a, and 11-74.3-6 as
follows:
(65 ILCS 5/8-3-13) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-3-13)
Sec. 8-3-13. The corporate authorities of any municipality
containing 500,000 or more inhabitants may impose a tax prior
to July 1, 1969, upon all persons engaged in the municipality
in the business of renting, leasing or letting rooms in a
hotel, as defined in the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act,
at a rate not to exceed 1% of the gross rental receipts from
the renting, leasing or letting, excluding, however, from gross
rental receipts, the proceeds of the renting, leasing or
letting to permanent residents of that hotel and proceeds from
the tax imposed under subsection (c) of Section 13 of the
Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition Authority Act.
The tax imposed by a municipality under this Section and
all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof
shall be collected and enforced by the State Department of
Revenue. The certificate of registration that is issued by the

SB1281 - 138 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Department to a lessor under the Hotel Operators' Occupation
Tax Act shall permit the registrant to engage in a business
that is taxable under any ordinance or resolution enacted under
this Section without registering separately with the
Department under the ordinance or resolution or under this
Section. The Department shall have full power to administer and
enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties due
hereunder; to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
the manner provided in this Section; and to determine all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax or penalty hereunder. In the administration of
and compliance with this Section, the Department and persons
who are subject to this Section shall have the same rights,
remedies, privileges, immunities, powers and duties, and be
subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties and definitions of terms, and employ the same modes
of procedure, as are prescribed in the Hotel Operators'
Occupation Tax Act and the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as
fully as if the provisions contained in those Acts were set
forth herein.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State

SB1281 - 139 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Treasurer out of the Illinois tourism tax fund.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under authority granted
by this Section may reimburse themselves for their tax
liability for that tax by separately stating the tax as an
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State tax imposed under the Hotel
Operators' Occupation Tax Act.
The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
Treasurer, ex-officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
collected hereunder. On or before the 25th day of each calendar
month, the Department shall prepare and certify to the
Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to named
municipalities from which lessors have paid taxes or penalties
hereunder to the Department during the second preceding
calendar month. The amount to be paid to each municipality
shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected
hereunder during the second preceding calendar month by the
Department, and not including an amount equal to the amount of
refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by the
Department on behalf of the municipality, less 4% of the
balance, which sum shall be retained by the State Treasurer to
cover the costs incurred by the Department in administering and
enforcing the provisions of this Section, as provided herein.
The Department, at the time of each monthly disbursement to the
municipalities, shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller
the amount so retained by the State Treasurer, which shall be

SB1281 - 140 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
paid into the General Revenue Fund of the State Treasury.
Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of the
disbursement certification to the municipalities and the
General Revenue Fund provided for in this Section to be given
to the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall
cause the warrants to be drawn for the respective amounts in
accordance with the directions contained in the certification.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
any business that, under the Constitution of the United States,
may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
An ordinance or resolution imposing a tax hereunder or
effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be effective on
the first day of the calendar month next following the
expiration of the publication period provided in Section 1-2-4
in respect to municipalities governed by that Section.
The corporate authorities of any municipality that levies a
tax authorized by this Section shall transmit to the Department
of Revenue on or not later than 5 days after the effective date
of the ordinance or resolution a certified copy of the
ordinance or resolution imposing the tax; whereupon, the
Department of Revenue shall proceed to administer and enforce
this Section on behalf of the municipality as of the effective

determine to be necessary or practicable for the effective
administration of the tax. The municipality may not impose a
tax under this Section if it imposes a tax under Section

municipality may not impose a tax under this Section if it
imposes a tax under Section 8-3-14. Nothing in this Section may

Sec. 11-74.3-6. Business district revenue and obligations;
business district tax allocation fund.
(a) If the corporate authorities of a municipality have
approved a business district plan, have designated a business
district, and have elected to impose a tax by ordinance
pursuant to subsection (10) or (11) of Section 11-74.3-3, then
each year after the date of the approval of the ordinance but
terminating upon the date all business district project costs
and all obligations paying or reimbursing business district

SB1281 - 145 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
project costs, if any, have been paid, but in no event later
than the dissolution date, all amounts generated by the
retailers' occupation tax and service occupation tax shall be
collected and the tax shall be enforced by the Department of
Revenue in the same manner as all retailers' occupation taxes
and service occupation taxes imposed in the municipality
imposing the tax and all amounts generated by the hotel
operators' occupation tax shall be collected and the tax shall
be enforced by the municipality in the same manner as all hotel
operators' occupation taxes imposed in the municipality
imposing the tax. The corporate authorities of the municipality
shall deposit the proceeds of the taxes imposed under
subsections (10) and (11) of Section 11-74.3-3 into a special
fund of the municipality called the "[Name of] Business
District Tax Allocation Fund" for the purpose of paying or
reimbursing business district project costs and obligations
incurred in the payment of those costs.
(b) The corporate authorities of a municipality that has
designated a business district under this Law may, by
ordinance, impose a Business District Retailers' Occupation
Tax upon all persons engaged in the business of selling
tangible personal property, other than an item of tangible
personal property titled or registered with an agency of this
State's government, at retail in the business district at a
rate not to exceed 1% of the gross receipts from the sales made
in the course of such business, to be imposed only in 0.25%

SB1281 - 146 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
increments. The tax may not be imposed on tangible personal
property taxed at the rate of 1% under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act.
The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
certificate of registration that is issued by the Department to
a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act shall permit
the retailer to engage in a business that is taxable under any
ordinance or resolution enacted pursuant to this subsection
without registering separately with the Department under such
ordinance or resolution or under this subsection. The
Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer and
enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties due
under this subsection in the manner hereinafter provided; and
to determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account
of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this
subsection. In the administration of, and compliance with, this
subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this
subsection shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges,
immunities, powers and duties, and be subject to the same
conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions,
exemptions, and definitions of terms and employ the same modes
of procedure, as are prescribed in Sections 1, 1a through 1o, 2
through 2-65 (in respect to all provisions therein other than
the State rate of tax), 2c through 2h, 3 (except as to the

SB1281 - 147 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, 5c,
5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5i, 5j, 5k, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
12, 13, and 14 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and all
provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as
if those provisions were set forth herein.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under this subsection
may reimburse themselves for their seller's tax liability under
this subsection by separately stating the tax as an additional
charge, which charge may be stated in combination, in a single
amount, with State taxes that sellers are required to collect
under the Use Tax Act, in accordance with such bracket
schedules as the Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the business district retailers' occupation
tax fund.
The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes, penalties, and
interest collected under this subsection for deposit into the
business district retailers' occupation tax fund.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the Department

SB1281 - 148 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the
Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the
local sales tax increment, as defined in the Innovation
Development and Economy Act, collected under this subsection
during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a
STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities
from the business district retailers' occupation tax fund, the
municipalities to be those from which retailers have paid taxes
or penalties under this subsection to the Department during the
second preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
municipality shall be the amount (not including credit
memoranda) collected under this subsection during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department plus an amount the
Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that
were erroneously paid to a different taxing body, and not
including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during
the second preceding calendar month by the Department, less 2%
of that amount, which shall be deposited into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund and shall be used by the
Department, subject to appropriation, to cover the costs of the
Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of
this subsection, on behalf of such municipality, and not

SB1281 - 149 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
including any amount that the Department determines is
necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a
different taxing body but were erroneously paid to the
municipality, and not including any amounts that are
transferred to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund. Within 10 days
after receipt by the Comptroller of the disbursement
certification to the municipalities provided for in this
subsection to be given to the Comptroller by the Department,
the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the
respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained
in the certification. The proceeds of the tax paid to
municipalities under this subsection shall be deposited into
the Business District Tax Allocation Fund by the municipality.
An ordinance imposing or discontinuing the tax under this
subsection or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall
either (i) be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with
the Department on or before the first day of April, whereupon
the Department, if all other requirements of this subsection
are met, shall proceed to administer and enforce this
subsection as of the first day of July next following the
adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a certified copy
thereof filed with the Department on or before the first day of
October, whereupon, if all other requirements of this
subsection are met, the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce this subsection as of the first day of January next
following the adoption and filing.

SB1281 - 150 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
The Department of Revenue shall not administer or enforce
an ordinance imposing, discontinuing, or changing the rate of
the tax under this subsection, until the municipality also
provides, in the manner prescribed by the Department, the
boundaries of the business district and each address in the
business district in such a way that the Department can
determine by its address whether a business is located in the
business district. The municipality must provide this boundary
and address information to the Department on or before April 1
for administration and enforcement of the tax under this
subsection by the Department beginning on the following July 1
and on or before October 1 for administration and enforcement
of the tax under this subsection by the Department beginning on
the following January 1. The Department of Revenue shall not
administer or enforce any change made to the boundaries of a
business district or address change, addition, or deletion
until the municipality reports the boundary change or address
change, addition, or deletion to the Department in the manner
prescribed by the Department. The municipality must provide
this boundary change information or address change, addition,
or deletion to the Department on or before April 1 for
administration and enforcement by the Department of the change
beginning on the following July 1 and on or before October 1
for administration and enforcement by the Department of the
change beginning on the following January 1. The retailers in
the business district shall be responsible for charging the tax

SB1281 - 151 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
imposed under this subsection. If a retailer is incorrectly
included or excluded from the list of those required to collect
the tax under this subsection, both the Department of Revenue
and the retailer shall be held harmless if they reasonably
relied on information provided by the municipality.
A municipality that imposes the tax under this subsection
must submit to the Department of Revenue any other information
as the Department may require for the administration and
enforcement of the tax.
When certifying the amount of a monthly disbursement to a
municipality under this subsection, the Department shall
increase or decrease the amount by an amount necessary to
offset any misallocation of previous disbursements. The offset
amount shall be the amount erroneously disbursed within the
previous 6 months from the time a misallocation is discovered.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize
the municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
in any business which under the Constitution of the United
States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
If a tax is imposed under this subsection (b), a tax shall
also be imposed under subsection (c) of this Section.
(c) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (b), a
Business District Service Occupation Tax shall also be imposed
upon all persons engaged, in the business district, in the
business of making sales of service, who, as an incident to
making those sales of service, transfer tangible personal

SB1281 - 152 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
property within the business district, either in the form of
tangible personal property or in the form of real estate as an
incident to a sale of service. The tax shall be imposed at the
same rate as the tax imposed in subsection (b) and shall not
exceed 1% of the selling price of tangible personal property so
transferred within the business district, to be imposed only in
0.25% increments. The tax may not be imposed on tangible
personal property taxed at the 1% rate under the Service
Occupation Tax Act.
The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be
collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue. The
certificate of registration which is issued by the Department
to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or under
the Service Occupation Tax Act shall permit such registrant to
engage in a business which is taxable under any ordinance or
resolution enacted pursuant to this subsection without
registering separately with the Department under such
ordinance or resolution or under this subsection. The
Department of Revenue shall have full power to administer and
enforce this subsection; to collect all taxes and penalties due
under this subsection; to dispose of taxes and penalties so
collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine
all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the
erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this subsection. In
the administration of, and compliance with this subsection, the

SB1281 - 153 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Department and persons who are subject to this subsection shall
have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities, powers
and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions,
and definitions of terms and employ the same modes of procedure
as are prescribed in Sections 2, 2a through 2d, 3 through 3-50
(in respect to all provisions therein other than the State rate
of tax), 4 (except that the reference to the State shall be to
the business district), 5, 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction
to which the tax shall be a debt to the extent indicated in
that Section 8 shall be the municipality), 9 (except as to the
disposition of taxes and penalties collected, and except that
the returned merchandise credit for this tax may not be taken
against any State tax), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference
therein to Section 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13
(except that any reference to the State shall mean the
municipality), the first paragraph of Section 15, and Sections
16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and all
provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as
if those provisions were set forth herein.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
serviceman's tax liability hereunder by separately stating the
tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State tax that servicemen
are authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in

SB1281 - 154 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may
prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in such notification
from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the business district retailers' occupation
tax fund.
The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
Treasurer, ex-officio, as trustee, all taxes, penalties, and
interest collected under this subsection for deposit into the
business district retailers' occupation tax fund.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the Department
of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the
Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the
local sales tax increment, as defined in the Innovation
Development and Economy Act, collected under this subsection
during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a
STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
disbursement of stated sums of money to named municipalities

SB1281 - 155 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
from the business district retailers' occupation tax fund, the
municipalities to be those from which suppliers and servicemen
have paid taxes or penalties under this subsection to the
Department during the second preceding calendar month. The
amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount (not
including credit memoranda) collected under this subsection
during the second preceding calendar month by the Department,
less 2% of that amount, which shall be deposited into the Tax
Compliance and Administration Fund and shall be used by the
Department, subject to appropriation, to cover the costs of the
Department in administering and enforcing the provisions of
this subsection, and not including an amount equal to the
amount of refunds made during the second preceding calendar
month by the Department on behalf of such municipality, and not
including any amounts that are transferred to the STAR Bonds
Revenue Fund. Within 10 days after receipt, by the Comptroller,
of the disbursement certification to the municipalities,
provided for in this subsection to be given to the Comptroller
by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
directions contained in such certification. The proceeds of the
tax paid to municipalities under this subsection shall be
deposited into the Business District Tax Allocation Fund by the
municipality.
An ordinance imposing or discontinuing the tax under this
subsection or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall

SB1281 - 156 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
either (i) be adopted and a certified copy thereof filed with
the Department on or before the first day of April, whereupon
the Department, if all other requirements of this subsection
are met, shall proceed to administer and enforce this
subsection as of the first day of July next following the
adoption and filing; or (ii) be adopted and a certified copy
thereof filed with the Department on or before the first day of
October, whereupon, if all other conditions of this subsection
are met, the Department shall proceed to administer and enforce
this subsection as of the first day of January next following
the adoption and filing.
The Department of Revenue shall not administer or enforce
an ordinance imposing, discontinuing, or changing the rate of
the tax under this subsection, until the municipality also
provides, in the manner prescribed by the Department, the
boundaries of the business district in such a way that the
Department can determine by its address whether a business is
located in the business district. The municipality must provide
this boundary and address information to the Department on or
before April 1 for administration and enforcement of the tax
under this subsection by the Department beginning on the
following July 1 and on or before October 1 for administration
and enforcement of the tax under this subsection by the
Department beginning on the following January 1. The Department
of Revenue shall not administer or enforce any change made to
the boundaries of a business district or address change,

SB1281 - 157 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
addition, or deletion until the municipality reports the
boundary change or address change, addition, or deletion to the
Department in the manner prescribed by the Department. The
municipality must provide this boundary change information or
address change, addition, or deletion to the Department on or
before April 1 for administration and enforcement by the
Department of the change beginning on the following July 1 and
on or before October 1 for administration and enforcement by

for charging the tax imposed under this subsection. If a
retailer is incorrectly included or excluded from the list of
those required to collect the tax under this subsection, both
the Department of Revenue and the retailer shall be held
harmless if they reasonably relied on information provided by
the municipality.
A municipality that imposes the tax under this subsection
must submit to the Department of Revenue any other information
as the Department may require for the administration and
enforcement of the tax.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize
the municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
in any business which under the Constitution of the United
States may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.
If a tax is imposed under this subsection (c), a tax shall
also be imposed under subsection (b) of this Section.

SB1281 - 158 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
(d) By ordinance, a municipality that has designated a
business district under this Law may impose an occupation tax
upon all persons engaged in the business district in the
business of renting, leasing, or letting rooms in a hotel, as
defined in the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act, at a rate
not to exceed 1% of the gross rental receipts from the renting,
leasing, or letting of hotel rooms within the business
district, to be imposed only in 0.25% increments, excluding,
however, from gross rental receipts the proceeds of renting,
leasing, or letting to permanent residents of a hotel, as
defined in the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act, and
proceeds from the tax imposed under subsection (c) of Section
13 of the Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition Authority
Act.
The tax imposed by the municipality under this subsection
and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident to
that tax shall be collected and enforced by the municipality
imposing the tax. The municipality shall have full power to
administer and enforce this subsection, to collect all taxes
and penalties due under this subsection, to dispose of taxes
and penalties so collected in the manner provided in this
subsection, and to determine all rights to credit memoranda
arising on account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty
under this subsection. In the administration of and compliance
with this subsection, the municipality and persons who are
subject to this subsection shall have the same rights,

SB1281 - 159 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
remedies, privileges, immunities, powers, and duties, shall be
subject to the same conditions, restrictions, limitations,
penalties, and definitions of terms, and shall employ the same
modes of procedure as are employed with respect to a tax
adopted by the municipality under Section 8-3-14 of this Code.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
tax liability for that tax by separately stating that tax as an
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State taxes imposed under the Hotel
Operators' Occupation Tax Act, and with any other tax.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize
a municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging
in any business which under the Constitution of the United
States may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
The proceeds of the tax imposed under this subsection shall
be deposited into the Business District Tax Allocation Fund.
(e) Obligations secured by the Business District Tax
Allocation Fund may be issued to provide for the payment or
reimbursement of business district project costs. Those
obligations, when so issued, shall be retired in the manner
provided in the ordinance authorizing the issuance of those
obligations by the receipts of taxes imposed pursuant to
subsections (10) and (11) of Section 11-74.3-3 and by other
revenue designated or pledged by the municipality. A
municipality may in the ordinance pledge, for any period of

SB1281 - 160 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
time up to and including the dissolution date, all or any part
of the funds in and to be deposited in the Business District
Tax Allocation Fund to the payment of business district project
costs and obligations. Whenever a municipality pledges all of
the funds to the credit of a business district tax allocation
fund to secure obligations issued or to be issued to pay or
reimburse business district project costs, the municipality
may specifically provide that funds remaining to the credit of
such business district tax allocation fund after the payment of
such obligations shall be accounted for annually and shall be
deemed to be "surplus" funds, and such "surplus" funds shall be
expended by the municipality for any business district project
cost as approved in the business district plan. Whenever a
municipality pledges less than all of the monies to the credit
of a business district tax allocation fund to secure
obligations issued or to be issued to pay or reimburse business
district project costs, the municipality shall provide that
monies to the credit of the business district tax allocation
fund and not subject to such pledge or otherwise encumbered or
required for payment of contractual obligations for specific
business district project costs shall be calculated annually
and shall be deemed to be "surplus" funds, and such "surplus"
funds shall be expended by the municipality for any business
district project cost as approved in the business district
plan.
No obligation issued pursuant to this Law and secured by a

SB1281 - 161 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
pledge of all or any portion of any revenues received or to be
received by the municipality from the imposition of taxes
pursuant to subsection (10) of Section 11-74.3-3, shall be
deemed to constitute an economic incentive agreement under
Section 8-11-20, notwithstanding the fact that such pledge
provides for the sharing, rebate, or payment of retailers'
occupation taxes or service occupation taxes imposed pursuant
to subsection (10) of Section 11-74.3-3 and received or to be
received by the municipality from the development or
redevelopment of properties in the business district.
Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
municipality may further secure obligations secured by the
business district tax allocation fund with a pledge, for a
period not greater than the term of the obligations and in any
case not longer than the dissolution date, of any part or any
combination of the following: (i) net revenues of all or part
of any business district project; (ii) taxes levied or imposed
by the municipality on any or all property in the municipality,
including, specifically, taxes levied or imposed by the
municipality in a special service area pursuant to the Special
Service Area Tax Law; (iii) the full faith and credit of the
municipality; (iv) a mortgage on part or all of the business
district project; or (v) any other taxes or anticipated
receipts that the municipality may lawfully pledge.
Such obligations may be issued in one or more series, bear
such date or dates, become due at such time or times as therein

SB1281 - 162 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
provided, but in any case not later than (i) 20 years after the
date of issue or (ii) the dissolution date, whichever is
earlier, bear interest payable at such intervals and at such
rate or rates as set forth therein, except as may be limited by
applicable law, which rate or rates may be fixed or variable,
be in such denominations, be in such form, either coupon,
registered, or book-entry, carry such conversion, registration
and exchange privileges, be subject to defeasance upon such
terms, have such rank or priority, be executed in such manner,
be payable in such medium or payment at such place or places
within or without the State, make provision for a corporate
trustee within or without the State with respect to such
obligations, prescribe the rights, powers, and duties thereof
to be exercised for the benefit of the municipality and the
benefit of the owners of such obligations, provide for the
holding in trust, investment, and use of moneys, funds, and
accounts held under an ordinance, provide for assignment of and
direct payment of the moneys to pay such obligations or to be
deposited into such funds or accounts directly to such trustee,
be subject to such terms of redemption with or without premium,
and be sold at such price, all as the corporate authorities
shall determine. No referendum approval of the electors shall
be required as a condition to the issuance of obligations
pursuant to this Law except as provided in this Section.
In the event the municipality authorizes the issuance of
obligations pursuant to the authority of this Law secured by

SB1281 - 163 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the full faith and credit of the municipality, or pledges ad
valorem taxes pursuant to this subsection, which obligations
are other than obligations which may be issued under home rule
powers provided by Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
Constitution or which ad valorem taxes are other than ad
valorem taxes which may be pledged under home rule powers
provided by Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois
Constitution or which are levied in a special service area
pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Law, the ordinance
authorizing the issuance of those obligations or pledging those
taxes shall be published within 10 days after the ordinance has
been adopted, in a newspaper having a general circulation
within the municipality. The publication of the ordinance shall
be accompanied by a notice of (i) the specific number of voters
required to sign a petition requesting the question of the
issuance of the obligations or pledging such ad valorem taxes
to be submitted to the electors; (ii) the time within which the
petition must be filed; and (iii) the date of the prospective
referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form
to any individual requesting one.
If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
hereinafter provided in this Section, within 21 days after the
publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in effect.
However, if within that 21-day period a petition is filed with
the municipal clerk, signed by electors numbering not less than
15% of the number of electors voting for the mayor or president

SB1281 - 164 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
at the last general municipal election, asking that the
question of issuing obligations using full faith and credit of
the municipality as security for the cost of paying or
reimbursing business district project costs, or of pledging
such ad valorem taxes for the payment of those obligations, or
both, be submitted to the electors of the municipality, the
municipality shall not be authorized to issue obligations of
the municipality using the full faith and credit of the
municipality as security or pledging such ad valorem taxes for
the payment of those obligations, or both, until the
proposition has been submitted to and approved by a majority of
the voters voting on the proposition at a regularly scheduled
election. The municipality shall certify the proposition to the
proper election authorities for submission in accordance with
the general election law.
The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that
the obligations shall contain a recital that they are issued
pursuant to this Law, which recital shall be conclusive
evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their
issuance.
In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
obligations pursuant to this Law secured by the full faith and
credit of the municipality, the ordinance authorizing the
obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a direct
annual tax upon all taxable property within the municipality
sufficient to pay the principal thereof and interest thereon as

SB1281 - 165 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
it matures, which levy may be in addition to and exclusive of
the maximum of all other taxes authorized to be levied by the
municipality, which levy, however, shall be abated to the
extent that monies from other sources are available for payment
of the obligations and the municipality certifies the amount of
those monies available to the county clerk.
A certified copy of the ordinance shall be filed with the
county clerk of each county in which any portion of the
municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority
for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited
in the business district tax allocation fund.
A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund, in
whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by the
municipality under the authority of this Law, whether at or
prior to maturity. However, the last maturity of the refunding
obligations shall not be expressed to mature later than the
dissolution date.
In the event a municipality issues obligations under home
rule powers or other legislative authority, the proceeds of
which are pledged to pay or reimburse business district project
costs, the municipality may, if it has followed the procedures
in conformance with this Law, retire those obligations from
funds in the business district tax allocation fund in amounts
and in such manner as if those obligations had been issued
pursuant to the provisions of this Law.
No obligations issued pursuant to this Law shall be

SB1281 - 166 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
regarded as indebtedness of the municipality issuing those
obligations or any other taxing district for the purpose of any
limitation imposed by law.
Obligations issued pursuant to this Law shall not be
subject to the provisions of the Bond Authorization Act.
(f) When business district project costs, including,
without limitation, all obligations paying or reimbursing
business district project costs have been paid, any surplus
funds then remaining in the Business District Tax Allocation
Fund shall be distributed to the municipal treasurer for
deposit into the general corporate fund of the municipality.
Upon payment of all business district project costs and
retirement of all obligations paying or reimbursing business
district project costs, but in no event more than 23 years
after the date of adoption of the ordinance imposing taxes
pursuant to subsection (10) or (11) of Section 11-74.3-3, the
municipality shall adopt an ordinance immediately rescinding
the taxes imposed pursuant to subsection (10) or (11) of
Section 11-74.3-3.

viability of McCormick Place and Navy Pier as the owner and
operator of the convention facilities and its obligation to
ensure that these facilities produce sufficient operating
revenues.
(6) The Authority's convention facilities were
constructed and renovated through the issuance of public
bonds that are directly repaid by State hotel, auto rental,
food and beverage, and airport and departure taxes paid
principally by persons who attend, work at, exhibit, and
provide goods and services to conventions, shows,
exhibitions, and meetings at McCormick Place and Navy Pier.
(7) State law also dedicates State occupation and use
tax revenues to fulfill debt service obligations on these
bonds should State hotel, auto rental, food and beverage,
and airport and departure taxes fail to generate sufficient
revenue.
(8) Through fiscal year 2010, $55 million in State
occupation and use taxes will have been allocated to make
debt service payments on the Authority's bonds due to
shortfalls in State hotel, auto rental, food and beverage,
and airport and departure taxes. These shortfalls are
expected to continue in future fiscal years and would
require the annual dedication of approximately $40 million
in State occupation and use taxes to fulfill debt service
payments.

SB1281 - 204 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
(9) In 2009, managers of the International Plastics
Showcase announced that 2009 was the last year they would
host their exhibition at McCormick Place, as they had since
1971, because union labor work rules and electric and food
service costs make it uneconomical for the show managers
and exhibitors to use McCormick Place as a convention venue
as compared to convention facilities in Orlando, Florida
and Las Vegas, Nevada. The exhibition used over 740,000
square feet of exhibit space, attracted over 43,000
attendees, generated $4.8 million of revenues to McCormick
Place, and raised over $200,000 in taxes to pay debt
service on convention facility bonds.
(10) After the International Plastics Showcase
exhibition announced its departure, other conventions and
exhibitions managers and exhibitors also stated that they
would not return to McCormick Place and Navy Pier for the
same reasons cited by the International Plastics Showcase
exhibition. In addition, still other managers and
exhibitors stated that they would not select McCormick
Place as a convention venue unless the union labor work
rules and electrical and food service costs were made
competitive with those in Orlando and Las Vegas.
(11) The General Assembly created the Joint Committee
on the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority to
conduct hearings and obtain facts to determine how union
labor work rules and electrical and food service costs make

SB1281 - 205 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
McCormick Place and Navy Pier uneconomical as a convention
venue.
(12) Witness testimony and fact-gathering revealed
that while the skilled labor provided by trade unions at
McCormick Place and Navy Pier is second to none and is
actually "exported" to work on conventions and exhibitions
held in Orlando and Las Vegas, restrictive work rules on
the activities show exhibitors may perform present
exhibitors and show managers with an uninviting atmosphere
and result in significantly higher costs than competing
convention facilities.
(13) Witness testimony and fact-gathering also
revealed that the mark-up on electrical and food service
imposed by the Authority to generate operating revenue for
McCormick Place and Navy Pier also substantially increased
exhibitor and show organizer costs to the point of excess
when compared to competing convention facilities.
(14) Witness testimony and fact-gathering further
revealed that the additional departure of conventions,
exhibitions, and trade shows from Authority facilities
threatens the continued economic viability of these
facilities and the stability of sufficient tax revenues
necessary to support debt service.
(15) In order to safeguard the Authority's and State of
Illinois' shared compelling and proprietary interests in
McCormick Place and Navy Pier and in response to local

SB1281 - 206 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
economic needs, the provisions contained in this Section
set forth mandated changes and reforms to restore and
ensure that (i) the Authority's facilities remain
economically competitive with other convention venues and
(ii) conventions, exhibitions, trade shows, and other
meetings are attracted to and retained at Authority
facilities by producing an exhibitor-friendly environment
and by reducing costs for exhibitors and show managers.
(16) The provisions set forth in this Section are
reasonable, necessary, and narrowly tailored to safeguard
the Authority's and State of Illinois' shared and
compelling proprietary interests and respond to local
economic needs as compared to the available alternative set
forth in House Bill 4900 of the 96th General Assembly and
proposals submitted to the Joint Committee on the
Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority. Action by the
State offers the only comprehensive means to remedy the
circumstances set forth in these findings, despite the
concerted and laudable voluntary efforts of the Authority,
labor unions, show contractors, show managers, and
exhibitors.

(12) The Authority has the power to determine, after
consultation with the Advisory Council, the work
jurisdiction and scope of work of union employees on
Authority premises during the move-in, move-out, and run of
a show, provided that any affected labor organization may
contest the Authority's determination through a binding
decision of an independent, third-party arbitrator. When
making the determination, the Authority or arbitrator, as
the case may be, shall consider the training and skills
required to perform the task, past practices on Authority
premises, safety, and the need for efficiency and exhibitor
satisfaction. These factors shall be considered in their
totality and not in isolation. The Authority's
determination must be made in writing, set forth an
explanation and statement of the reason or reasons
supporting the determination, and be provided to each
affected labor organization. The changes in this item (12)
by this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly are
declarative of existing law and shall not be construed as a
new enactment. Nothing in this item permits the Authority
to eliminate any labor organization representing union
employees that provide labor services on the move-in,
move-out, and run of the show as of the effective date of

(13) (Blank).

SB1281 - 212 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
(14) An exhibitor or show manager may request by name

priority over union employees requested by a show manager.
(15) A show manager or show contractor on behalf of a
show manager may retain an electrical contractor approved
by the Authority or Authority-provisioned electrical
services to provide electrical services on the premises. If
a show manager or show contractor on behalf of a show
manager retains Authority-provisioned electrical services,
then the Authority shall offer these services at a rate not
to exceed the cost of providing those services.
(16) Crew sizes for any task or operation shall not
exceed 2 persons unless, after consultation with the

labor-management relations.
(3) The Council shall hold meetings no less than once
every 90 days.

SB1281 - 214 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
(e) Audit of exhibitor rights.
The Authority shall retain the services of a person to
complete, at least once per calendar year, a financial
statement audit and compliance attestation engagement that may
consist of an examination or an agreed-upon procedures
engagement that, in the opinion of the licensed public
accounting firm selected by the Authority in accordance with
the provisions of this Act and with the concurrence of the
Authority, is better suited to determine and verify compliance
with the exhibitor rights set forth in this Section, and that
cost reductions or other efficiencies resulting from the
exhibitor rights have been fairly passed along to exhibitors.
In the event an agreed-upon procedures engagement is performed,
the Authority shall first consult with the Advisory Committee
and solicit its suggestions and advice with respect to the
specific procedures to be agreed upon in the engagement.
Thereafter, the public accounting firm and the Authority shall
agree upon the specific procedures to be followed in the
engagement. It is intended that the design of the engagement
and the procedures to be followed shall allow for flexibility
in targeting specific areas for examination and to revise the
procedures where appropriate for achieving the purpose of the
engagement. The financial statement audit shall be performed in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The
compliance attestation engagement shall be (i) performed in

SB1281 - 215 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
accordance with attestation standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and shall
examine the compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section and (ii) conducted by a licensed public accounting
firm, selected by the Authority from a list of firms
prequalified to do business with the Illinois Auditor General.
Upon request, a show contractor or manager shall provide the
Authority or person retained to provide attestation services
with any information and other documentation reasonably
necessary to perform the obligations set forth in this
subsection. Upon completion, the report shall be submitted to
the Authority and made publicly available on the Authority's
website.
Within 30 days of the next regularly scheduled meeting of
the Advisory Committee following the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly, the Authority, in
conjunction with the Advisory Committee, shall adopt a uniform
set of procedures to expeditiously investigate and address
exhibitor complaints and concerns. The procedures shall
require full disclosure and cooperation among the Authority,
show managers, show contractors, exhibitor-appointed
contractors, professional service providers, and labor unions.
(f) Exhibitor service reforms. The Authority shall make every
effort to substantially reduce exhibitor's costs for
participating in shows.

SB1281 - 216 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
(1) Any contract to provide food or beverage services
in the buildings and facilities of the Authority, except
Navy Pier, shall be provided at a rate not to exceed the
cost established in the contract. The Board shall
periodically review all food and beverage contracts.
(2) A department or unit of the Authority shall not
serve as the exclusive provider of electrical services.
(3) Exhibitors shall receive a detailed statement of
all costs associated with utility services, including the
cost of labor, equipment, and materials.
(g) Severability. If any provision of this Section or its
application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
invalidity of that provision or application does not affect
other provisions or applications of this Section that can be
given effect without the invalid provision or application.

Sec. 13. (a) The Authority shall not have power to levy
taxes for any purpose, except as provided in subsections (b),
(c), (d), (e), and (f), and (f-5).
(b) By ordinance the Authority shall, as soon as
practicable after July 1, 1992 (the effective date of Public
Act 87-733), impose a Metropolitan Pier and Exposition

the premises where sold and (ii) from the sale of food,
alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks sold for consumption off
the premises where sold by a retailer whose principal source of

and soft drinks prepared for immediate consumption.
The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil

SB1281 - 218 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
penalties that may be assessed as an incident to that tax shall
be collected and enforced by the Illinois Department of
Revenue. The Department shall have full power to administer and
enforce this subsection, to collect all taxes and penalties so
collected in the manner provided in this subsection, and to
determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of
the erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this subsection.
In the administration of and compliance with this subsection,
the Department and persons who are subject to this subsection
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers, and duties, shall be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties, exclusions, exemptions,
and definitions of terms, and shall employ the same modes of

Act, as fully as if provisions contained in those Sections of
the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act were set forth in this
subsection.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority

SB1281 - 219 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
seller's tax liability under this subsection by separately

that sellers are required to collect under the Use Tax Act,
pursuant to bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
The retailer filing the return shall, at the time of filing the
return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed under
this subsection, less a discount of 1.75%, which is allowed to
reimburse the retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping
records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax, and
supplying data to the Department on request.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause a warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition
Authority trust fund held by the State Treasurer as trustee for
the Authority.
Nothing in this subsection authorizes the Authority to
impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any business
that under the Constitution of the United States may not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.
The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State

SB1281 - 220 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee for the Authority, all taxes
and penalties collected under this subsection for deposit into
a trust fund held outside of the State Treasury.
As soon as possible after the first day of each month,
beginning January 1, 2011, upon certification of the Department
of Revenue, the Comptroller shall order transferred, and the
Treasurer shall transfer, to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund the
local sales tax increment, as defined in the Innovation
Development and Economy Act, collected under this subsection
during the second preceding calendar month for sales within a
STAR bond district.
After the monthly transfer to the STAR Bonds Revenue Fund,
on or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the
Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
amounts to be paid under subsection (g) of this Section, which
shall be the amounts, not including credit memoranda, collected
under this subsection during the second preceding calendar
month by the Department, less any amounts determined by the
Department to be necessary for the payment of refunds, less
1.5% of such balance, which sum shall be deposited by the State
Treasurer into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund in
the State Treasury from which it shall be appropriated to the
Department to cover the costs of the Department in
administering and enforcing the provisions of this subsection,
and less any amounts that are transferred to the STAR Bonds
Revenue Fund. Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller

SB1281 - 221 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
of the certification, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to
be drawn for the remaining amounts, and the Treasurer shall
administer those amounts as required in subsection (g).
A certificate of registration issued by the Illinois
Department of Revenue to a retailer under the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act shall permit the registrant to engage in a
business that is taxed under the tax imposed under this
subsection, and no additional registration shall be required
under the ordinance imposing the tax or under this subsection.
A certified copy of any ordinance imposing or discontinuing
any tax under this subsection or effecting a change in the rate
of that tax shall be filed with the Department, whereupon the
Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
subsection on behalf of the Authority as of the first day of
the third calendar month following the date of filing.
The tax authorized to be levied under this subsection may
be levied within all or any part of the following described
portions of the metropolitan area:

SB1281 - 222 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
along Higgins Road to its intersection with Mannheim Road,
then south along Mannheim Road to its intersection with

intersection with the Cook County - DuPage County line,
then north and west along the county line to the point of

55th Street with Central Avenue, then east along West 55th
Street to its intersection with South Cicero Avenue, then
south along South Cicero Avenue to its intersection with

Lake Michigan, then following the shoreline of Lake
Michigan (including Navy Pier and all other improvements
fixed to land, docks, or piers) to the point where the
shoreline of Lake Michigan and the Adlai E. Stevenson
Expressway extended east to that shoreline intersect, then
west along the Adlai E. Stevenson Expressway to a point 150

SB1281 - 223 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
feet west of the west line of South Ashland Avenue, then
north along a line 150 feet west of the west line of South
and North Ashland Avenue to the point of beginning.
The tax authorized to be levied under this subsection may
also be levied on food, alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks
sold on boats and other watercraft departing from and returning
to the shoreline of Lake Michigan (including Navy Pier and all
other improvements fixed to land, docks, or piers) described in
item (3).
(c) By ordinance the Authority shall, as soon as
practicable after July 1, 1992 (the effective date of Public
Act 87-733), impose an occupation tax upon all persons engaged
in the corporate limits of the City of Chicago in the business
of renting, leasing, or letting rooms in a hotel, as defined in
the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act, at a rate of 2.5% of
the gross rental receipts from the renting, leasing, or letting
of hotel rooms within the City of Chicago, excluding, however,
from gross rental receipts the proceeds of renting, leasing, or
letting to permanent residents of a hotel, as defined in that
Act. Gross rental receipts shall not include charges that are
added on account of the liability arising from any tax imposed
by the State or any governmental agency on the occupation of
renting, leasing, or letting rooms in a hotel.
The tax imposed by the Authority under this subsection and
all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident to that
tax shall be collected and enforced by the Illinois Department

SB1281 - 224 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
of Revenue. The certificate of registration that is issued by
the Department to a lessor under the Hotel Operators'
Occupation Tax Act shall permit that registrant to engage in a
business that is taxable under any ordinance enacted under this
subsection without registering separately with the Department
under that ordinance or under this subsection. The Department
shall have full power to administer and enforce this
subsection, to collect all taxes and penalties due under this
subsection, to dispose of taxes and penalties so collected in
the manner provided in this subsection, and to determine all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax or penalty under this subsection. In the
administration of and compliance with this subsection, the
Department and persons who are subject to this subsection shall
have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers, and duties, shall be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties, and definitions of
terms, and shall employ the same modes of procedure as are
prescribed in the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act (except
where that Act is inconsistent with this subsection), as fully
as if the provisions contained in the Hotel Operators'
Occupation Tax Act were set out in this subsection.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause a warrant to be drawn for the

SB1281 - 225 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
amount specified and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition
Authority trust fund held by the State Treasurer as trustee for
the Authority.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
tax liability for that tax by separately stating that tax as an
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State taxes imposed under the Hotel
Operators' Occupation Tax Act, the municipal tax imposed under
Section 8-3-13 of the Illinois Municipal Code, and the tax
imposed under Section 19 of the Illinois Sports Facilities
Authority Act.
The person filing the return shall, at the time of filing
the return, pay to the Department the amount of tax, less a
discount of 2.1% or $25 per calendar year, whichever is
greater, which is allowed to reimburse the operator for the
expenses incurred in keeping records, preparing and filing
returns, remitting the tax, and supplying data to the
Department on request.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee for the Authority, all taxes and penalties
collected under this subsection for deposit into a trust fund
held outside the State Treasury. On or before the 25th day of

SB1281 - 226 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
each calendar month, the Department shall certify to the
Comptroller the amounts to be paid under subsection (g) of this
Section, which shall be the amounts (not including credit
memoranda) collected under this subsection during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department, less any amounts
determined by the Department to be necessary for payment of
refunds, less 1.5% of the remainder, which the Department shall
transfer into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund. The
Department, at the time of each monthly disbursement to the
Authority, shall prepare and certify to the State Comptroller
the amount to be transferred into the Tax Compliance and
Administration Fund under this subsection. Within 10 days after
receipt by the Comptroller of the Department's certification,
the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for such
amounts, and the Treasurer shall administer the amounts
distributed to the Authority as required in subsection (g).
A certified copy of any ordinance imposing or discontinuing
a tax under this subsection or effecting a change in the rate
of that tax shall be filed with the Illinois Department of
Revenue, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce this subsection on behalf of the Authority as of
the first day of the third calendar month following the date of

SB1281 - 227 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
business of renting automobiles in the metropolitan area at the
rate of 6% of the gross receipts from that business, except
that no tax shall be imposed on the business of renting
automobiles for use as taxicabs or in livery service. The tax
imposed under this subsection and all civil penalties that may
be assessed as an incident to that tax shall be collected and
enforced by the Illinois Department of Revenue. The certificate
of registration issued by the Department to a retailer under
the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act or under the Automobile
Renting Occupation and Use Tax Act shall permit that person to
engage in a business that is taxable under any ordinance
enacted under this subsection without registering separately
with the Department under that ordinance or under this
subsection. The Department shall have full power to administer
and enforce this subsection, to collect all taxes and penalties
due under this subsection, to dispose of taxes and penalties so
collected in the manner provided in this subsection, and to
determine all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of
the erroneous payment of tax or penalty under this subsection.
In the administration of and compliance with this subsection,
the Department and persons who are subject to this subsection
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers, and duties, be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties, and definitions of
terms, and employ the same modes of procedure as are prescribed
in Sections 2 and 3 (in respect to all provisions of those

SB1281 - 228 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Sections other than the State rate of tax; and in respect to
the provisions of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act referred to
in those Sections, except as to the disposition of taxes and
penalties collected, except for the provision allowing
retailers a deduction from the tax to cover certain costs, and
except that credit memoranda issued under this subsection may
not be used to discharge any State tax liability) of the
Automobile Renting Occupation and Use Tax Act, as fully as if
provisions contained in those Sections of that Act were set
forth in this subsection.
Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
tax liability under this subsection by separately stating that
tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
combination, in a single amount, with State tax that sellers
are required to collect under the Automobile Renting Occupation
and Use Tax Act, pursuant to bracket schedules as the
Department may prescribe.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause a warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified and to the person named in the notification
from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition
Authority trust fund held by the State Treasurer as trustee for

SB1281 - 229 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the Authority.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex
officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties collected under
this subsection for deposit into a trust fund held outside the
State Treasury. On or before the 25th day of each calendar
month, the Department shall certify to the Comptroller the
amounts to be paid under subsection (g) of this Section (not
including credit memoranda) collected under this subsection
during the second preceding calendar month by the Department,
less any amount determined by the Department to be necessary
for payment of refunds, less 1.5% of the remainder, which the
Department shall transfer into the Tax Compliance and
Administration Fund. The Department, at the time of each
monthly disbursement to the Authority, shall prepare and
certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be transferred
into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund under this
subsection. Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of
the Department's certification, the Comptroller shall cause
the orders to be drawn for such amounts, and the Treasurer
shall administer the amounts distributed to the Authority as
required in subsection (g).
Nothing in this subsection authorizes the Authority to
impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any business
that under the Constitution of the United States may not be
made the subject of taxation by this State.

SB1281 - 230 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
A certified copy of any ordinance imposing or discontinuing
a tax under this subsection or effecting a change in the rate
of that tax shall be filed with the Illinois Department of
Revenue, whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer
and enforce this subsection on behalf of the Authority as of
the first day of the third calendar month following the date of
filing.
(e) By ordinance the Authority shall, as soon as
practicable after July 1, 1992 (the effective date of Public
Act 87-733), impose a tax upon the privilege of using in the
metropolitan area an automobile that is rented from a rentor
outside Illinois and is titled or registered with an agency of
this State's government at a rate of 6% of the rental price of
that automobile, except that no tax shall be imposed on the
privilege of using automobiles rented for use as taxicabs or in
livery service. The tax shall be collected from persons whose
Illinois address for titling or registration purposes is given
as being in the metropolitan area. The tax shall be collected
by the Department of Revenue for the Authority. The tax must be
paid to the State or an exemption determination must be
obtained from the Department of Revenue before the title or
certificate of registration for the property may be issued. The
tax or proof of exemption may be transmitted to the Department
by way of the State agency with which or State officer with
whom the tangible personal property must be titled or
registered if the Department and that agency or State officer

SB1281 - 231 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
determine that this procedure will expedite the processing of
applications for title or registration.
The Department shall have full power to administer and
enforce this subsection, to collect all taxes, penalties, and
interest due under this subsection, to dispose of taxes,
penalties, and interest so collected in the manner provided in
this subsection, and to determine all rights to credit
memoranda or refunds arising on account of the erroneous
payment of tax, penalty, or interest under this subsection. In
the administration of and compliance with this subsection, the
Department and persons who are subject to this subsection shall
have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers, and duties, be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties, and definitions of
terms, and employ the same modes of procedure as are prescribed
in Sections 2 and 4 (except provisions pertaining to the State
rate of tax; and in respect to the provisions of the Use Tax
Act referred to in that Section, except provisions concerning
collection or refunding of the tax by retailers, except the
provisions of Section 19 pertaining to claims by retailers,
except the last paragraph concerning refunds, and except that
credit memoranda issued under this subsection may not be used
to discharge any State tax liability) of the Automobile Renting

subsection.

SB1281 - 232 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be

the Authority.
Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the
Department shall forthwith pay over to the State Treasurer, ex

Section, which shall be the amounts (not including credit
memoranda) collected under this subsection during the second
preceding calendar month by the Department, less any amounts
determined by the Department to be necessary for payment of

SB1281 - 233 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
receipt by the State Comptroller of the Department's
certification, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be
drawn for such amounts, and the Treasurer shall administer the
amounts distributed to the Authority as required in subsection
(g).
A certified copy of any ordinance imposing or discontinuing

filed with the Illinois Department of Revenue, whereupon the
Department shall proceed to administer and enforce this
subsection on behalf of the Authority as of the first day of

passenger service and enplaning more than 100,000 passengers
per year.
In the ordinance imposing the tax, the Authority may
provide for the administration and enforcement of the tax and
the collection of the tax from persons subject to the tax as

million in fiscal year 2011, $36.7 million in fiscal year
2012, $36.7 million in fiscal year 2013, $36.7 million in

(3) On July 20, 2010, the Comptroller shall certify to
the Governor, the Treasurer, and the Chairman of the

SB1281 - 239 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Authority the 2010 deficiency amount, which means the
cumulative amount of transfers that were due from the trust
fund to the McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund in
fiscal years 2008, 2009, and 2010 under Section 13(g) of
this Act, as it existed prior to May 27, 2010 (the
effective date of Public Act 96-898), but not made. On July
20, 2011 and on July 20 of each year through July 20, 2014,
the Treasurer shall calculate for the previous fiscal year
the surplus revenues in the trust fund and pay that amount
to the Authority. On July 20, 2015 and on July 20 of each
year thereafter to and including July 20, 2017, as long as
bonds and notes issued under Section 13.2 or bonds and
notes issued to refund those bonds and notes are
outstanding, the Treasurer shall calculate for the
previous fiscal year the surplus revenues in the trust fund
and pay one-half of that amount to the State Treasurer for
deposit into the General Revenue Fund until the 2010
deficiency amount has been paid and shall pay the balance
of the surplus revenues to the Authority. On July 20, 2018
and on July 20 of each year thereafter, the Treasurer shall
calculate for the previous fiscal year the surplus revenues
in the trust fund and pay all of such surplus revenues to
the State Treasurer for deposit into the General Revenue
Fund until the 2010 deficiency amount has been paid. After
the 2010 deficiency amount has been paid, the Treasurer
shall pay the balance of the surplus revenues to the

SB1281 - 240 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Authority. "Surplus revenues" means the amounts remaining
in the trust fund on June 30 of the previous fiscal year

fund (i) amounts retained for refunds under subparagraph
(1) and (ii) any amounts necessary to meet the reserve

transferred from the trust fund to the General Revenue Fund
100% of any post-2010 deficiency amount. "Reserve account
amount" means $15 million in fiscal year 2011 and $30
million in each fiscal year thereafter. The reserve account
amount shall be set aside in the trust fund and used as a
reserve to be transferred to the McCormick Place Expansion
Project Fund in the event the proceeds of taxes imposed
under this Section 13 are not sufficient to fund the
transfer required in subparagraph (2). "Post-2010
deficiency amount" means any deficiency in transfers from
the trust fund to the McCormick Place Expansion Project
Fund with respect to fiscal years 2011 and thereafter. It
is the intention of this subparagraph (3) that no surplus
revenues shall be paid to the Authority with respect to any
year in which a post-2010 deficiency amount has not been
satisfied by the Authority.
Moneys received by the Authority as surplus revenues may be
used (i) for the purposes of paying debt service on the bonds
and notes issued by the Authority, including early redemption
of those bonds or notes, (ii) for the purposes of repair,

SB1281 - 241 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b

facilities of the Authority, and (iii) for the corporate
purposes of the Authority in fiscal years 2011 through 2015 in
an amount not to exceed $20,000,000 annually or $80,000,000
total, which amount shall be reduced $0.75 for each dollar of
the receipts of the Authority in that year from any contract
entered into with respect to naming rights at McCormick Place
under Section 5(m) of this Act. When bonds and notes issued
under Section 13.2, or bonds or notes issued to refund those
bonds and notes, are no longer outstanding, the balance in the
trust fund shall be paid to the Authority.
(h) The ordinances imposing the taxes authorized by this
Section shall be repealed when bonds and notes issued under
Section 13.2 or bonds and notes issued to refund those bonds
and notes are no longer outstanding.

Subordinate Fund in the State Treasury. All moneys transferred
from the McCormick Place Account in the Build Illinois Fund to
the Metropolitan Fair and Exposition Authority Improvement

SB1281 - 242 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Bond Fund and all moneys transferred from the Metropolitan Fair
and Exposition Authority Improvement Bond Fund to the
Metropolitan Fair and Exposition Authority Completion Note
Subordinate Fund may be appropriated by law for the purpose of
paying the debt service requirements on all bonds and notes
issued under this Section, including refunding bonds, (herein
collectively referred to as bonds) to be issued by the
Authority subsequent to July 1, 1984 in an aggregate amount
(excluding the amount of any refunding bonds issued by the
Authority subsequent to January 1, 1986), not to exceed
$312,500,000, with such aggregate amount comprised of (i) an
amount not to exceed $259,000,000 for the purpose of paying

refunding those bonds of the Authority that were issued prior
to July 1, 1984 and for the purpose of establishing necessary
reserves on, paying capitalized interest on, and paying costs
of issuance of bonds, other than refunding bonds issued
subsequent to January 1, 1986, issued for those purposes,
provided that any proceeds of bonds, other than refunding bonds
issued subsequent to January 1, 1986, and interest or other
investment earnings thereon not used for the purposes stated in
items (i) and (ii) above shall be used solely to redeem
outstanding bonds, other than bonds which have been refunded or
advance refunded, of the Authority. The Authority will use its
best efforts to cause all bonds issued pursuant to this
Section, other than bonds which have been refunded or advance

SB1281 - 243 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
refunded, to be or to become on a parity with one another.
Notwithstanding any provision of any prior ordinance or trust
agreement authorizing the issuance of outstanding bonds
payable or to become payable from the Metropolitan Fair and
Exposition Authority Improvement Bond Fund, refunding or
advance refunding bonds may be issued subsequent to January 1,
1986, payable from the Metropolitan Fair and Exposition
Authority Improvement Bond Fund on a parity with any such prior
bonds which remain outstanding provided, that in the event of
any such partial refunding (i) the debt service requirements
after such refunding for all bonds payable from the
Metropolitan Fair and Exposition Authority Improvement Bond
Fund issued after July 1, 1984, by the Authority which shall be
outstanding after such refunding shall not have been increased
by reason of such refunding in any then current or future
fiscal year in which such prior outstanding bonds shall remain
outstanding and (ii) such parity refunding bonds shall be
deemed to be parity bonds issued to pay costs of the Project
for purposes of such prior ordinance or trust agreement. It is
hereby found and determined that (i) the issuance of such
parity refunding bonds shall further the purposes of this Act
and (ii) the contractual rights of the bondholders under any
such prior ordinance or trust agreement will not be impaired or
adversely affected by such issuance.
No amounts in excess of the sum of $250,000,000 plus all
interest and other investment income earned prior to the

SB1281 - 244 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1985 on all proceeds
of all bonds issued for the purpose of paying costs of the
Project shall be obligated or expended with respect to the
costs of the Project without prior written approval from the
Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget.
Such approval shall be based upon factors including, but not
limited to, the necessity, in relation to the Authority's
ability to complete the Project and open the facility to the
public in a timely manner, of incurring the costs, and the
appropriateness of using bond funds for such purpose. The
Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget may,
in his discretion, consider other reasonable factors in
determining whether to approve payment of costs of the Project.
The Authority shall furnish to the Governor's Office of
Management and Budget such information as may from time to time
be requested. The Director of the Governor's Office of
Management and Budget or any duly authorized employee of the
Governor's Office of Management and Budget shall, for the
purpose of securing such information, have access to, and the
right to examine, all books, documents, papers and records of
the Authority.

Sec. 13.2. The McCormick Place Expansion Project Fund is
created in the State Treasury. All moneys in the McCormick
Place Expansion Project Fund are allocated to and shall be
appropriated and used only for the purposes authorized by and
subject to the limitations and conditions of this Section.
Those amounts may be appropriated by law to the Authority for
the purposes of paying the debt service requirements on all
bonds and notes, including bonds and notes issued to refund or
advance refund bonds and notes issued under this Section,
Section 13.1, or issued to refund or advance refund bonds and
notes otherwise issued under this Act, (collectively referred
to as "bonds") to be issued by the Authority under this Section
in an aggregate original principal amount (excluding the amount
of any bonds and notes issued to refund or advance refund bonds
or notes issued under this Section and Section 13.1) not to
exceed $3,450,000,000 $2,850,000,000 for the purposes of
carrying out and performing its duties and exercising its
powers under this Act. The increased debt authorization of

SB1281 - 248 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
$450,000,000 provided by Public Act 96-898 shall be used solely
for the purpose of: (i) hotel construction and related
necessary capital improvements; (ii) other needed capital
improvements to existing facilities; and (iii) land
acquisition for and construction of one multi-use facility on
property bounded by East Cermak Road on the south, East 21st
Street on the north, South Indiana Avenue on the west, and

County, Illinois; these limitations do not apply to the
increased debt authorization provided by Public Act 100-23 or
this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly this
amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly. No bonds issued
to refund or advance refund bonds issued under this Section may
mature later than 40 years from the date of issuance of the
refunding or advance refunding bonds. After the aggregate
original principal amount of bonds authorized in this Section
has been issued, the payment of any principal amount of such
bonds does not authorize the issuance of additional bonds
(except refunding bonds). Any bonds and notes issued under this
Section in any year in which there is an outstanding "post-2010
deficiency amount" as that term is defined in Section 13 (g)(3)
of this Act shall provide for the payment to the State
Treasurer of the amount of that deficiency. Proceeds from the
sale of bonds issued pursuant to the increased debt
authorization provided by Public Act 100-23 or this amendatory
Act of the 101st General Assembly this amendatory Act of the

SB1281 - 249 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
100th General Assembly may be used for the payment to the State
Treasurer of any unpaid amounts described in paragraph (3) of
subsection (g) of Section 13 of this Act as part of the "2010
deficiency amount" or the "Post-2010 deficiency amount".
On the first day of each month commencing after July 1,
1993, amounts, if any, on deposit in the McCormick Place
Expansion Project Fund shall, subject to appropriation, be paid
in full to the Authority or, upon its direction, to the trustee
or trustees for bondholders of bonds that by their terms are
payable from the moneys received from the McCormick Place
Expansion Project Fund, until an amount equal to 100% of the
aggregate amount of the principal and interest in the fiscal
year, including that pursuant to sinking fund requirements, has
been so paid and deficiencies in reserves shall have been
remedied.
The State of Illinois pledges to and agrees with the
holders of the bonds of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition
Authority issued under this Section that the State will not
limit or alter the rights and powers vested in the Authority by
this Act so as to impair the terms of any contract made by the
Authority with those holders or in any way impair the rights
and remedies of those holders until the bonds, together with
interest thereon, interest on any unpaid installments of
interest, and all costs and expenses in connection with any
action or proceedings by or on behalf of those holders are
fully met and discharged; provided that any increase in the Tax

Tax Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service
Use Tax Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act
required to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account
in the Build Illinois Fund pursuant to any law hereafter
enacted shall not be deemed to impair the rights of such
holders so long as the increase does not result in the
aggregate debt service payable in the current or any future
fiscal year of the State on all bonds issued pursuant to the
Build Illinois Bond Act and the Metropolitan Public Pier and
Exposition Authority Act and payable from tax revenues
specified in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax
Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act exceeding
33 1/3% of such tax revenues for the most recently completed
fiscal year of the State at the time of such increase. In
addition, the State pledges to and agrees with the holders of
the bonds of the Authority issued under this Section that the
State will not limit or alter the basis on which State funds
are to be paid to the Authority as provided in this Act or the
use of those funds so as to impair the terms of any such
contract; provided that any increase in the Tax Act Amounts
specified in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
Section 9 of the Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax
Act, and Section 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act required
to be deposited into the Build Illinois Bond Account in the

SB1281 - 251 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
Build Illinois Fund pursuant to any law hereafter enacted shall
not be deemed to impair the terms of any such contract so long
as the increase does not result in the aggregate debt service
payable in the current or any future fiscal year of the State
on all bonds issued pursuant to the Build Illinois Bond Act and
the Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition Authority Act and
payable from tax revenues specified in Section 3 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Section 9 of the Use Tax Act,

to include these pledges and agreements with the State in any
contract with the holders of bonds issued under this Section.
The State shall not be liable on bonds of the Authority

Sec. 23.1. Affirmative action.
(a) The Authority shall, within 90 days after the effective
date of this amendatory Act of 1984, establish and maintain an
affirmative action program designed to promote equal
employment opportunity and eliminate the effects of past
discrimination. Such program shall include a plan, including
timetables where appropriate, which shall specify goals and
methods for increasing participation by women and minorities in

SB1281 - 254 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
employment, including employment related to the planning,
organization, and staging of the games, by the Authority and by
parties which contract with the Authority. The Authority shall
submit a detailed plan with the General Assembly prior to
September 1 of each year. Such program shall also establish
procedures and sanctions, which the Authority shall enforce to
ensure compliance with the plan established pursuant to this
Section and with State and federal laws and regulations
relating to the employment of women and minorities. A
determination by the Authority as to whether a party to a
contract with the Authority has achieved the goals or employed
the methods for increasing participation by women and
minorities shall be determined in accordance with the terms of
such contracts or the applicable provisions of rules and
regulations of the Authority existing at the time such contract
was executed, including any provisions for consideration of
good faith efforts at compliance which the Authority may
reasonably adopt.
(b) The Authority shall adopt and maintain minority-owned
and women-owned business enterprise procurement programs under
the affirmative action program described in subsection (a) for
any and all work, including all contracting related to the
planning, organization, and staging of the games, undertaken by
the Authority. That work shall include, but is not limited to,
the purchase of professional services, construction services,
supplies, materials, and equipment. The programs shall

SB1281 - 255 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
establish goals of awarding not less than 25% of the annual
dollar value of all contracts, purchase orders, or other
agreements (collectively referred to as "contracts") to
minority-owned businesses and 5% of the annual dollar value of
all contracts to women-owned businesses. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the programs shall require in
connection with the prequalification or consideration of
vendors for professional service contracts, construction
contracts, and contracts for supplies, materials, equipment,
and services that each proposer or bidder submit as part of his
or her proposal or bid a commitment detailing how he or she
will expend 25% or more of the dollar value of his or her
contracts with one or more minority-owned businesses and 5% or
more of the dollar value with one or more women-owned
businesses. Bids or proposals that do not include such detailed
commitments are not responsive and shall be rejected unless the
Authority deems it appropriate to grant a waiver of these
requirements. The Authority may consider waivers based on the
scope of work and availability of certified minority-owned and
women-owned businesses. In addition the Authority may, in
connection with the selection of providers of professional
services, reserve the right to select a minority-owned or
women-owned business or businesses to fulfill the commitment to
minority and woman business participation. The commitment to
minority and woman business participation may be met by the
contractor or professional service provider's status as a

SB1281 - 256 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
minority-owned or women-owned business, by joint venture or by
subcontracting a portion of the work with or purchasing
materials for the work from one or more such businesses, or by
any combination thereof. Each contract shall require the
contractor or provider to submit a certified monthly report
detailing the status of that contractor or provider's
compliance with the Authority's minority-owned and women-owned
business enterprise procurement program. The Authority, after
reviewing the monthly reports of the contractors and providers,
shall compile a comprehensive report regarding compliance with
this procurement program and file it quarterly with the General
Assembly. If, in connection with a particular contract, the
Authority determines that it is impracticable or excessively
costly to obtain minority-owned or women-owned businesses to
perform sufficient work to fulfill the commitment required by
this subsection, the Authority shall reduce or waive the
commitment in the contract, as may be appropriate. The
Authority shall establish rules and regulations setting forth
the standards to be used in determining whether or not a
reduction or waiver is appropriate. The terms "minority-owned
business" and "women-owned business" have the meanings given to
those terms in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women,
and Persons with Disabilities Act.
(c) The Authority shall adopt and maintain an affirmative
action program in connection with the hiring of minorities and
women on the Expansion Project and on any and all construction

SB1281 - 257 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
projects, including all contracting related to the planning,
organization, and staging of the games, undertaken by the
Authority. The program shall be designed to promote equal
employment opportunity and shall specify the goals and methods
for increasing the participation of minorities and women in a
representative mix of job classifications required to perform
the respective contracts awarded by the Authority.
(d) In connection with the Expansion Project, the Authority
shall incorporate the following elements into its
minority-owned and women-owned business procurement programs
to the extent feasible: (1) a major contractors program that
permits minority-owned businesses and women-owned businesses
to bear significant responsibility and risk for a portion of
the project; (2) a mentor/protege program that provides
financial, technical, managerial, equipment, and personnel
support to minority-owned businesses and women-owned
businesses; (3) an emerging firms program that includes
minority-owned businesses and women-owned businesses that
would not otherwise qualify for the project due to inexperience
or limited resources; (4) a small projects program that
includes participation by smaller minority-owned businesses
and women-owned businesses on jobs where the total dollar value
is $5,000,000 or less; and (5) a set-aside program that will
identify contracts requiring the expenditure of funds less than
$50,000 for bids to be submitted solely by minority-owned
businesses and women-owned businesses.

SB1281 - 258 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
(e) The Authority is authorized to enter into agreements
with contractors' associations, labor unions, and the
contractors working on the Expansion Project to establish an
Apprenticeship Preparedness Training Program to provide for an
increase in the number of minority and women journeymen and
apprentices in the building trades and to enter into agreements
with Community College District 508 to provide readiness
training. The Authority is further authorized to enter into
contracts with public and private educational institutions and
persons in the hospitality industry to provide training for
employment in the hospitality industry.
(f) McCormick Place Advisory Board. There is created a
McCormick Place Advisory Board composed as follows: 2 members
shall be appointed by the Mayor of Chicago; 2 members shall be
appointed by the Governor; 2 members shall be State Senators
appointed by the President of the Senate; 2 members shall be
State Senators appointed by the Minority Leader of the Senate;
2 members shall be State Representatives appointed by the

House of Representatives. The terms of all previously appointed
members of the Advisory Board expire on the effective date of
this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly. A State
Senator or State Representative member may appoint a designee
to serve on the McCormick Place Advisory Board in his or her
absence.

Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish
culture or origin, regardless of race).
(5) Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander (a person

Members of the McCormick Place Advisory Board shall serve
2-year terms and until their successors are appointed, except
members who serve as a result of their elected position whose
terms shall continue as long as they hold their designated

SB1281 - 260 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
elected positions. Vacancies shall be filled by appointment for
the unexpired term in the same manner as original appointments
are made. The McCormick Place Advisory Board shall elect its
own chairperson.
Members of the McCormick Place Advisory Board shall serve
without compensation but, at the Authority's discretion, shall
be reimbursed for necessary expenses in connection with the
performance of their duties.
The McCormick Place Advisory Board shall meet quarterly, or
as needed, shall produce any reports it deems necessary, and
shall:
(1) Work with the Authority on ways to improve the area
physically and economically;
(2) Work with the Authority regarding potential means
for providing increased economic opportunities to
minorities and women produced indirectly or directly from
the construction and operation of the Expansion Project;
(3) Work with the Authority to minimize any potential
impact on the area surrounding the McCormick Place
Expansion Project, including any impact on minority-owned
or women-owned businesses, resulting from the construction
and operation of the Expansion Project;
(4) Work with the Authority to find candidates for
building trades apprenticeships, for employment in the

providing assistance to minority-owned and women-owned
businesses.

Sec. 24. All contracts for the sale of property of the
value of more than $10,000 or for any concession in or lease of
property of the Authority for a term of more than one year

SB1281 - 262 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
shall be awarded to the highest responsible bidder, after
advertising for bids, except as may be otherwise authorized by
this Act. All construction contracts, when the cost will exceed
$100,000 $30,000, and contracts for supplies, materials,
equipment and services, when the cost thereof will exceed
$100,000 $10,000, shall be let to the lowest responsible
bidder, after advertising for bids, excepting (1) when repair
parts, accessories, equipment or services are required for
equipment or services previously furnished or contracted for,
(2) professional services contracted for in accordance with
Section 25.1 of this Act, (3) when services such as water,
light, heat, power, telephone (other than long-distance
service) or telegraph are required, (4) when contracts for the
use, purchase, delivery, movement, or installation of data
processing equipment, software, or services and
telecommunications equipment, software, and services are
required, and (5) when the immediate delivery of supplies,
materials, equipment, or services is required and (i) the chief
executive officer determines that an emergency situation
exists; (ii) the contract accepted is based on the lowest
responsible bid after the Authority has made a diligent effort
to solicit multiple bids by telephone, facsimile, or other
efficient means; and (iii) the chief executive officer submits
a report at the next regular Board meeting, to be ratified by
the Board and entered into the official record, stating the
chief executive officer's reason for declaring an emergency

SB1281 - 263 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
situation, the names of the other parties solicited and their
bids, and a copy of the contract awarded.
All construction contracts involving less than $100,000
$30,000 and all other contracts involving less than $100,000
$10,000 shall be let by competitive bidding whenever possible,
and in any event in a manner calculated to insure the best
interests of the public.
Each bidder shall disclose in his bid the name of each
individual having a beneficial interest, directly or
indirectly, of more than 7 1/2% in such bidding entity and, if
such bidding entity is a corporation, the names of each of its
officers and directors. The bidder shall notify the Board of
any changes in its ownership or its officers or directors at
the time such changes occur if the change occurs during the
pendency of a proposal or a contract.
In determining the responsibility of any bidder, the Board
may take into account past record of dealings with the bidder,
experience, adequacy of equipment, ability to complete
performance within the time set, and other factors besides
financial responsibility, but in no case shall any such
contracts be awarded to any other than the highest bidder (in
case of sale or concession or lease) or the lowest bidder (in
case of purchase or expenditure) unless authorized or approved
by a vote of at least three-fourths of the members of the
Board, and unless such action is accompanied by a statement in
writing setting forth the reasons for not awarding the contract

SB1281 - 264 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
to the highest or lowest bidder, as the case may be, which
statement shall be kept on file in the principal office of the
Authority and open to public inspection.
From the group of responsible bidders the lowest bidder
shall be selected in the following manner: to all bids for
sales the gross receipts of which are not taxable under the
"Retailers' Occupation Tax Act", approved June 28, 1933, as
amended, there shall be added an amount equal to the tax which
would be payable under said Act, if applicable, and the lowest
in amount of said adjusted bids and bids for sales the gross
receipts of which are taxable under said Act shall be
considered the lowest bid; provided, that, if said lowest bid
relates to a sale not taxable under said Act, any contract
entered into thereon shall be in the amount of the original bid
not adjusted as aforesaid.
Contracts shall not be split into parts involving
expenditures of less than $100,000 $10,000 (or $30,000 in the
case of construction contracts) for the purposes of avoiding
the provisions of this Section, and all such split contracts
shall be void. If any collusion occurs among bidders or
prospective bidders in restraint of freedom of competition, by
agreement to bid a fixed amount or to refrain from bidding, or
otherwise, the bids of such bidders shall be void. Each bidder
shall accompany his bid with a sworn statement that he has not
been a party to any such agreement.
The Board shall have the right to reject all bids and to

SB1281 - 265 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
readvertise for bids. If after any such readvertisement no
responsible and satisfactory bid, within the terms of the
advertisement, shall be received, the Board may award such
contract without competitive bidding, provided that it shall
not be less advantageous to the Authority than any valid bid
received pursuant to advertisement.
The Board shall adopt rules and regulations of general
application within 90 days of the effective date of this
amendatory Act of 1985 to carry into effect the provisions of
this Section.
This Section does not apply to any contract entered into by
the Authority under the Governmental Joint Purchasing Act if
the chief executive officer approves and executes the contract
and submits a report at the next regular Board meeting, to be
ratified by the Board and entered into the official record,
stating the terms and conditions of the contract.

Sec. 25.1. (a) This Section applies to agreements described
in Section 5(h) and contracts described in Section 5(j).
(b) When the Authority proposes to enter into a contract or
agreement under this Section, the Authority shall give public
notice soliciting proposals for the contract or agreement by
publication at least twice in one or more daily newspapers in
general circulation in the metropolitan area. The second notice

SB1281 - 266 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
shall be published not less than 10 days before the date on
which the Authority expects to select the contractor. The
notice shall include a general description of the nature of the
contract or agreement which the Authority is seeking and the
procedure by which a person or firm interested in the contract
or agreement may make its proposal to the Authority for
consideration for the contract or agreement.
A request for proposals must be extended to a sufficient
number of prospective providers of the required services or
prospective bidders to assure that public interest in
competition is adequately served.
The provisions of this subsection (b) do not apply if:
(1) the Authority concludes that there is a single
source of the expertise or knowledge required or that one
person can clearly perform the required tasks more
satisfactorily because of the person's prior work;
however, this exemption shall be narrowly construed and
applies only if a written report that details the reasons
for the exemption is entered into the minutes of the
Authority and the Chairman has authorized in writing
contract negotiations with the single source; or
(2) the service is to be provided by or the agreement
is with a State agency, a federal agency, a political
subdivision of the State, or a corporation organized under
the General Not For Profit Corporation Act of 1986; or
(3) within 60 days of the effective date of this

SB1281 - 267 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
amendatory Act of 1985, the Authority enters into a written
contract for professional services of the same kind with
any person providing such professional services as of such
effective date.
A request for proposals must contain a description of the
work to be performed under the contract and the terms under
which the work is to be performed or a description of the terms
of the agreement with respect to the use or occupancy of the
grounds, buildings, or facilities. A request for proposals must
contain that information necessary for a prospective
contractor or bidder to submit a response or contain references
to any information that cannot reasonably be included with the
request. The request for proposals must provide a description
of the factors that will be considered by the Authority when it
evaluates the proposals received.
Nothing in this subsection limits the power of the
Authority to use additional means that it may consider
appropriate to notify prospective contractors or bidders that
it proposes to enter into a contract or agreement.
(c) After the responses are submitted, the Authority shall
evaluate them. Each proposal received must be evaluated using
the same factors as those set out in the request for proposals.
Any person that submits a response to a request for
proposals under this Section shall disclose in the response the
name of each individual having a beneficial interest directly
or indirectly of more than 7 1/2% in such person and, if such

Section 105. The Illinois Sports Facilities Authority Act
is amended by changing Section 19 as follows:
(70 ILCS 3205/19) (from Ch. 85, par. 6019)
Sec. 19. Tax. The Authority may impose an occupation tax
upon all persons engaged in the City of Chicago in the business
of renting, leasing or letting rooms in a hotel, as defined in
The Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act, at a rate not to
exceed 2% of the gross rental receipts from the renting,
leasing or letting of hotel rooms located within the City of
Chicago, excluding, however, from gross rental receipts, the
proceeds of such renting, leasing or letting to permanent
residents of that hotel and proceeds from the tax imposed under
subsection (c) of Section 13 of the Metropolitan Public Pier
and Exposition Authority Act.
The tax imposed by the Authority pursuant to this Section
and all civil penalties that may be assessed as an incident
thereof shall be collected and enforced by the State Department
of Revenue. The certificate of registration which is issued by
the Department to a lessor under The Hotel Operators'
Occupation Tax Act shall permit such registrant to engage in a
business which is taxable under any ordinance or resolution
enacted pursuant to this Section without registering
separately with the Department under such ordinance or
resolution or under this Section. The Department shall have

SB1281 - 284 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
full power to administer and enforce this Section; to collect
all taxes and penalties due hereunder; to dispose of taxes and
penalties so collected in the manner provided in this Section,
and to determine all rights to credit memoranda, arising on
account of the erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
In the administration of, and compliance with, this Section,
the Department and persons who are subject to this Section
shall have the same rights, remedies, privileges, immunities,
powers and duties, and be subject to the same conditions,
restrictions, limitations, penalties and definitions of terms,
and employ the same modes of procedure, as are prescribed in
The Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act (except where that Act
is inconsistent herewith), as the same is now or may hereafter
be amended, as fully as if the provisions contained in The
Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act were set forth herein.
Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the
amount specified, and to the person named, in such notification
from the Department. Such refund shall be paid by the State
Treasurer out of the amounts held by the State Treasurer as
trustee for the Authority.
Persons subject to any tax imposed pursuant to authority
granted by this Section may reimburse themselves for their tax
liability for such tax by separately stating such tax as an

SB1281 - 285 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
in a single amount, with State tax imposed under The Hotel
Operators' Occupation Tax Act, the municipal tax imposed under
Section 8-3-13 of the Illinois Municipal Code, and the tax
imposed under Section 13 of the Metropolitan Public Pier and
Exposition Authority Act.
The Department shall forthwith pay over to the State
Treasurer, ex-officio, as trustee for the Authority, all taxes
and penalties collected hereunder for deposit in a trust fund
outside the State Treasury. On or before the 25th day of each
calendar month, the Department shall certify to the Comptroller
the amount to be paid to or on behalf of the Authority from
amounts collected hereunder by the Department, and deposited
into such trust fund during the second preceding calendar
month. The amount to be paid to or on behalf of the Authority
shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected
hereunder during such second preceding calendar month by the
Department, less an amount equal to the amount of refunds
authorized during such second preceding calendar month by the
Department on behalf of the Authority, and less 4% of such
balance, which sum shall be retained by the State Treasurer to
cover the costs incurred by the Department in administering and
enforcing the provisions of this Section, as provided herein.
Each such monthly certification by the Department shall also
certify to the Comptroller the amount to be so retained by the
State Treasurer for payment into the General Revenue Fund of

SB1281 - 286 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
the State Treasury.
Each monthly certification by the Department shall
certify, of the amount paid to or on behalf of the Authority,
(i) the portion to be paid to the Authority, (ii) the portion
to be paid into the General Revenue Fund of the State Treasury
on behalf of the Authority as repayment of amounts advanced to
the Authority pursuant to appropriation from the Illinois
Sports Facilities Fund.
With respect to each State fiscal year, of the total amount
to be paid to or on behalf of the Authority, the Department
shall certify that payments shall first be made directly to the
Authority in an amount equal to any difference between the
annual amount certified by the Chairman of the Authority
pursuant to Section 8.25-4 of the State Finance Act and the
amount appropriated to the Authority from the Illinois Sports
Facilities Fund. Next, the Department shall certify that
payment shall be made into the General Revenue Fund of the
State Treasury in an amount equal to the difference between (i)
the lesser of (x) the amount appropriated from the Illinois
Sports Facilities Fund to the Authority and (y) the annual
amount certified by the Chairman of the Authority pursuant to
Section 8.25-4 of the State Finance Act and (ii) $10,000,000.
The Department shall certify that all additional amounts shall
be paid to the Authority and used for its corporate purposes.
Within 10 days after receipt, by the Comptroller, of the
Department's monthly certification of amounts to be paid to or

SB1281 - 287 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
on behalf of the Authority and amounts to be paid into the
General Revenue Fund, the Comptroller shall cause the warrants
to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the
directions contained in such certification.
Amounts collected by the Department and paid to the
Authority pursuant to this Section shall be used for the
corporate purposes of the Authority. On June 15, 1992 and on
each June 15 thereafter, the Authority shall repay to the State
Treasurer all amounts paid to it under this Section and
otherwise remaining available to the Authority after providing
for (i) payment of principal and interest on, and other
payments related to, its obligations issued or to be issued
under Section 13 of the Act, including any deposits required to
reserve funds created under any indenture or resolution
authorizing issuance of the obligations and payments to
providers of credit enhancement, (ii) payment of obligations
under the provisions of any management agreement with respect
to a facility or facilities owned by the Authority or of any
assistance agreement with respect to any facility for which
financial assistance is provided under this Act, and payment of
other capital and operating expenses of the Authority,
including any deposits required to reserve funds created for
repair and replacement of capital assets and to meet the
obligations of the Authority under any management agreement or
assistance agreement. Amounts repaid by the Authority to the
State Treasurer hereunder shall be treated as repayment of

SB1281 - 288 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
amounts deposited into the Illinois Sports Facilities Fund and
credited to the Subsidy Account and used for the corporate
purposes of the Authority. The State Treasurer shall deposit
$5,000,000 of the amount received into the General Revenue
Fund; thereafter, at the beginning of each fiscal year the
State Treasurer shall certify to the State Comptroller for all
prior fiscal years the cumulative amount of any deficiencies in
repayments to the City of Chicago of amounts in the Local
Government Distributive Fund that would otherwise have been
allocated to the City of Chicago under the State Revenue
Sharing Act but instead were paid into the General Revenue Fund
under Section 6 of the Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act and
that have not been reimbursed, and the Comptroller shall,
during the fiscal year at the beginning of which the
certification was made, cause warrants to be drawn from the
amount received for the repayment of that cumulative amount to
the City of Chicago until that cumulative amount has been fully
reimbursed; thereafter, the State Treasurer shall deposit the
balance of the amount received into the trust fund established
outside the State Treasury under subsection (g) of Section 13
of the Metropolitan Public Pier and Exposition Authority Act.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize the
Authority to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
business which under the constitution of the United States may
not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
An ordinance or resolution imposing or discontinuing a tax

SB1281 - 289 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
hereunder or effecting a change in the rate thereof shall be
effective on the first day of the second calendar month next
following the month in which the ordinance or resolution is
passed.
If the Authority levies a tax authorized by this Section it
shall transmit to the Department of Revenue not later than 5
days after the adoption of the ordinance or resolution a
certified copy of the ordinance or resolution imposing such tax
whereupon the Department of Revenue shall proceed to administer
and enforce this Section on behalf of the Authority. Upon a
change in rate of a tax levied hereunder, or upon the
discontinuance of the tax, the Authority shall not later than 5
days after the effective date of the ordinance or resolution
discontinuing the tax or effecting a change in rate transmit to

Section 115. The Eminent Domain Act is amended by changing
Sections 10-5-10, 15-5-15, 20-5-5, and 25-7-103.27 as follows:
(735 ILCS 30/10-5-10) (was 735 ILCS 5/7-102)
Sec. 10-5-10. Parties.
(a) When the right (i) to take private property for public
use, without the owner's consent, (ii) to construct or maintain
any public road, railroad, plankroad, turnpike road, canal, or
other public work or improvement, or (iii) to damage property

SB1281 - 320 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
not actually taken has been or is conferred by general law or
special charter upon any corporate or municipal authority,
public body, officer or agent, person, commissioner, or
corporation and when (i) the compensation to be paid for or in
respect of the property sought to be appropriated or damaged
for the purposes mentioned cannot be agreed upon by the parties
interested, (ii) the owner of the property is incapable of
consenting, (iii) the owner's name or residence is unknown, or
(iv) the owner is a nonresident of the State, then the party
authorized to take or damage the property so required, or to
construct, operate, and maintain any public road, railroad,
plankroad, turnpike road, canal, or other public work or
improvement, may apply to the circuit court of the county where
the property or any part of the property is situated, by filing
with the clerk a complaint. The complaint shall set forth, by
reference, (i) the complainant's authority in the premises,
(ii) the purpose for which the property is sought to be taken
or damaged, (iii) a description of the property, and (iv) the
names of all persons interested in the property as owners or
otherwise, as appearing of record, if known, or if not known
stating that fact; and shall pray the court to cause the
compensation to be paid to the owner to be assessed.
(b) If it appears that any person not in being, upon coming
into being, is, or may become or may claim to be, entitled to
any interest in the property sought to be appropriated or
damaged, the court shall appoint some competent and

SB1281 - 321 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b
disinterested person as guardian ad litem to appear for and
represent that interest in the proceeding and to defend the
proceeding on behalf of the person not in being. Any judgment

purposes as though the person was in being and was a party to
the proceeding.
(c) If the proceeding seeks to affect the property of
persons under guardianship, the guardians shall be made parties
defendant.

made parties defendant by the same descriptions and in the same

common interest community, the complaint shall name the unit
owners' association in lieu of naming the individual unit
owners and lienholders on individual units. Unit owners,
mortgagees, and other lienholders may intervene as parties
defendant. For the purposes of this Section, "common interest
community" has the same meaning as set forth in subsection (c)
of Section 9-102 of the Code of Civil Procedure. "Unit owners'
association" or "association" shall refer to both the
definition contained in Section 2 of the Condominium Property
Act and subsection (c) of Section 9-102 of the Code of Civil
Procedure.

SB1281 - 322 - LRB101 04634 AWJ 53493 b

Article that are authorized in this Article and in Article 25
of this Act.
(b) In a proceeding subject to this Section, the plaintiff,
at any time after the complaint has been filed and before
judgment is entered in the proceeding, may file a written
motion requesting that, immediately or at some specified later
date, the plaintiff either: (i) be vested with the fee simple

required) to the real property, or a specified portion of that
property, which is the subject of the proceeding, and be
authorized to take possession of and use the property; or (ii)
only be authorized to take possession of and to use the
property, if possession and use, without the vesting of title,
are sufficient to permit the plaintiff to proceed with the
project until the final ascertainment of compensation. No land
or interests in land now or hereafter owned, leased,
controlled, or operated and used by, or necessary for the
actual operation of, any common carrier engaged in interstate
commerce, or any other public utility subject to the

sought to be acquired in that property; (2) the formally
adopted schedule or plan of operation for the execution of the
plaintiff's project; (3) the situation of the property to which
the motion relates, with respect to the schedule or plan; (4)
the necessity for taking the property in the manner requested
in the motion; and (5) if the property (except property
described in Section 3 of the Sports Stadium Act or property
described as Site B in Section 2 of the Metropolitan Public
Pier and Exposition Authority Act) to be taken is owned,
leased, controlled, or operated and used by, or necessary for
the actual operation of, any interstate common carrier or other
public utility subject to the jurisdiction of the Illinois
Commerce Commission, a statement to the effect that the
approval of the proposed taking has been secured from the
Commission, and attaching to the motion a certified copy of the
order of the Illinois Commerce Commission granting approval. If
the schedule or plan of operation is not set forth fully in the
motion, a copy of the schedule or plan shall be attached to the
