22 (35 ILCS 105/3-6.5 new)
23 Sec. 3-6.5. Hunting sales tax holiday items.
24 (a) Beginning on September 24, 2017 and through September
2530, 2017 (hereinafter referred to as the Hunting Sales Tax

HB3878- 43 -LRB100 10228 HLH 20411 b
1Holiday Period) the following items of tangible personal
2property are exempt as provided in Section 3-5:
3 (1) Firearms which may be used for lawful hunting under
4 the Wildlife Code.
5 (2) Firearm ammunition which may be used for lawful
6 hunting under the Wildlife Code.
7 (b) For purposes of this Section:
8 "Firearms" has the meaning provided in Section 1.1 of the
9Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, except that it is
10limited to those firearms which may be used for lawful hunting
11under the Wildlife Code.
12 "Firearm ammunition" has the meaning provided in Section
131.1 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, except that
14it is limited to firearm ammunition which may be used for
15lawful hunting under the Wildlife Code.
16 (c) Administration. Notwithstanding any other provision of
17this Act, the exemption shall be administered by the Department
18under the provisions of this subsection (c).
19 (1) Bundled sales. Items that qualify for the exemption
20 that are bundled together with items that do not qualify
21 for the exemption and that are sold for one itemized price
22 will be subject to the exemption only if the value of the
23 items that qualify for the exemption exceeds the value of
24 the items that do not qualify for the exemption.
25 (2) Coupons and discounts. An unreimbursed discount by
26 the seller reduces the sales price of the property so that

HB3878- 44 -LRB100 10228 HLH 20411 b
1 the discounted sales price determines whether the sales
2 price is within a sales tax holiday price threshold. A
3 coupon or other reduction in the sales price is treated as
4 a discount if the seller is not reimbursed for the coupon
5 or reduction amount by a third party.
6 (3) Splitting of items normally sold together.
7 Articles that are normally sold as a single unit must
8 continue to be sold in that manner. Such articles cannot be
9 priced separately and sold as individual items in order to
10 obtain the exemption. For example, a box of ammunition
11 cannot have each round of ammunition sold separately so
12 that the sales price of each round is within a hunting
13 sales tax holiday price threshold.
14 (4) Rain checks. A rain check is a procedure that
15 allows a customer to purchase an item at a certain price at
16 a later time because the particular item was out of stock.
17 Eligible property that customers purchase during the
18 Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period with the use of a rain
19 check will qualify for the 0% rate of tax regardless of
20 when the rain check was issued. Issuance of a rain check
21 during the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period will not
22 qualify eligible property for the exemption if the property
23 is actually purchased after the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday
24 Period.
25 (5) Exchanges. The procedure for an exchange in regards
26 to a sales tax holiday is as follows:

HB3878- 45 -LRB100 10228 HLH 20411 b
1 (A) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
2 property during the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period,
3 but later exchanges the item for a similar eligible
4 item, even if a different size, different color, or
5 other feature, no additional tax is due even if the
6 exchange is made after the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday
7 Period.
8 (B) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
9 property during the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period,
10 but after the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period has
11 ended, the customer returns the item and receives
12 credit on the purchase of a different item, the 6.25%
13 general merchandise sales tax rate is due on the sale
14 of the newly purchased item.
15 (C) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
16 property before the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period,
17 but during the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period the
18 customer returns the item and receives credit on the
19 purchase of a different item of eligible property, the
20 exemption shall be applied to the sale of the new item
21 if the new item is purchased during the Hunting Sales
22 Tax Holiday Period.
23 (6) Delivery charges. Delivery charges, including
24 shipping, handling and service charges, are part of the
25 sales price of eligible property.
26 (7) Order date and back orders. For the purpose of a

HB3878- 46 -LRB100 10228 HLH 20411 b
1 sales tax holiday, eligible property qualifies for the
2 exemption if: (i) the item is both delivered to and paid
3 for by the customer during the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday
4 Period or (ii) the customer orders and pays for the item
5 and the seller accepts the order during the Hunting Sales
6 Tax Holiday Period for immediate shipment, even if delivery
7 is made after the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period. The
8 seller accepts an order when the seller has taken action to
9 fill the order for immediate shipment. Actions to fill an
10 order include placement of an "in date" stamp on an order
11 or assignment of an "order number" to an order within the
12 Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period. An order is for immediate
13 shipment when the customer does not request delayed
14 shipment. An order is for immediate shipment
15 notwithstanding that the shipment may be delayed because of
16 a backlog of orders or because stock is currently
17 unavailable to, or on back order by, the seller.
18 (8) Returns. For a 60-day period immediately after the
19 Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period, if a customer returns an
20 item that would qualify for the 0% rate of tax, credit for
21 or refund of sales tax shall be given only at the 0% rate
22 unless the customer provides a receipt or invoice that
23 shows tax was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate,
24 or the seller has sufficient documentation to show that tax
25 was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate on the
26 specific item. This 60-day period is set solely for the

HB3878- 47 -LRB100 10228 HLH 20411 b
1 purpose of designating a time period during which the
2 customer must provide documentation that shows that the
3 appropriate sales tax rate was paid on returned
4 merchandise. The 60-day period is not intended to change a
5 seller's policy on the time period during which the seller
6 will accept returns.
7 (d) The Department may implement the provisions of this
8Section through the use of emergency rules, along with
9permanent rules filed concurrently with such emergency rules,
10in accordance with the provisions of Section 5-45 of the
11Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. For purposes of the
12Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, the adoption of rules to
13implement the provisions of this Section shall be deemed an
14emergency and necessary for the public interest, safety, and
15welfare.

18 hunting under the Wildlife Code.
19 (b) For purposes of this Section:

21Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, except that it is
22limited to those firearms which may be used for lawful hunting
23under the Wildlife Code.
24 "Firearm ammunition" has the meaning provided in Section
251.1 of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, except that

HB3878- 68 -LRB100 10228 HLH 20411 b

6 (1) Bundled sales. Items that qualify for the exemption
7 that are bundled together with items that do not qualify
8 for the exemption and that are sold for one itemized price
9 will be subject to the exemption only if the value of the
10 items that qualify for the exemption exceeds the value of
11 the items that do not qualify for the exemption.
12 (2) Coupons and discounts. An unreimbursed discount by
13 the seller reduces the sales price of the property so that
14 the discounted sales price determines whether the sales
15 price is within a sales tax holiday price threshold. A
16 coupon or other reduction in the sales price is treated as
17 a discount if the seller is not reimbursed for the coupon
18 or reduction amount by a third party.

20 Articles that are normally sold as a single unit must
21 continue to be sold in that manner. Such articles cannot be
22 priced separately and sold as individual items in order to
23 obtain the exemption. For example, a box of ammunition
24 cannot have each round of ammunition sold separately so
25 that the sales price of each round is within a hunting
26 sales tax holiday price threshold.

6 check will qualify for the 0% rate of tax regardless of
7 when the rain check was issued. Issuance of a rain check
8 during the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period will not
9 qualify eligible property for the exemption if the property
10 is actually purchased after the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday
11 Period.

13 to a sales tax holiday is as follows:
14 (A) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
15 property during the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period,
16 but later exchanges the item for a similar eligible
17 item, even if a different size, different color, or
18 other feature, no additional tax is due even if the
19 exchange is made after the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday
20 Period.
21 (B) If a customer purchases an item of eligible
22 property during the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period,
23 but after the Hunting Sales Tax Holiday Period has

10 shows tax was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate,
11 or the seller has sufficient documentation to show that tax
12 was paid at the 6.25% general merchandise rate on the
13 specific item. This 60-day period is set solely for the
14 purpose of designating a time period during which the
15 customer must provide documentation that shows that the
16 appropriate sales tax rate was paid on returned
17 merchandise. The 60-day period is not intended to change a
18 seller's policy on the time period during which the seller
19 will accept returns.
