12determining the rate or rates at which such series of Variable
13Rate Bonds shall bear interest and the price or prices at which
14such Variable Rate Bonds shall be initially sold or remarketed
15(in the event of purchase and subsequent resale), the Bond Sale
16Order may provide that such interest rates and prices may vary

18Bond Sale Order, which criteria may include, without
19limitation, references to indices or variations in interest
20rates as may, in the judgment of a remarketing agent, be
21necessary to cause Variable Rate Bonds of such series to be
22remarketable from time to time at a price equal to their
23principal amount, and may provide for appointment of a bank,

3provisions will apply during such times as Variable Rate Bonds
4of any series are held by a person providing credit or
5liquidity enhancement arrangements for such Bonds as
6authorized in subsection (b) of this Section. The Bond Sale
7Order may also provide for such variable interest rates to be
8established pursuant to a process generally known as an auction
9rate process and may provide for appointment of one or more

15security and liquidity for such Bonds, including, without
16limitation, bond or interest rate insurance or letters of
17credit, lines of credit, bond purchase contracts, or other
18arrangements whereby funds are made available to retire or
19purchase Bonds, thereby assuring the ability of owners of the
20Bonds to sell or redeem their Bonds. The State may enter into
21contracts and may agree to pay fees to persons providing such
22arrangements, but only under circumstances where the Director
23of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget certifies
24that he or she reasonably expects the total interest paid or to
25be paid on the Bonds, together with the fees for the
26arrangements (being treated as if interest), would not, taken

HB5561- 24 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1together, cause the Bonds to bear interest, calculated to their
2stated maturity, at a rate in excess of the rate that the Bonds
3would bear in the absence of such arrangements.

5to be issued, participate in and enter into arrangements with

10increase the principal amount of Bonds authorized to be issued
11by law. The arrangements may be executed and delivered by the

23Office of Management and Budget shall adopt an interest rate
24risk management policy providing that the amount of the State's
25variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds shall not exceed
2620%. This policy shall remain in effect while any Bonds are

HB5561- 25 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1outstanding and the issuance of Bonds shall be subject to the
2terms of such policy. The terms of this policy may be amended

3provided in this Act shall be transferred to the lessor with
4respect to the tax paid by the lessor for any amount received
5by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is
6not calculated at the time the lease is executed; provided that
7the discount is only allowed if the return is timely filed and
8for amounts timely paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle
9that is sold on or after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of

13reduced by the value of or credit given for traded-in tangible
14personal property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether
15the trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the

17purpose of leasing for a defined period of longer than one
18year, the sale occurs at the time of the delivery of the
19vehicle, regardless of the due date of any lease payments. A
20lessor who incurs a Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the
21sale of a motor vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit
22against that liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the
23purchase of the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid
24with respect to any amount received by the lessor from the
25lessee for the leased vehicle that was not calculated at the
26time the lease was executed) if the selling price of the motor

HB5561- 87 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1vehicle at the time of purchase was calculated using the
2definition of "selling price" as defined in this paragraph.

4contrary, lessors shall file all returns and make all payments
5required under this paragraph to the Department by electronic
6means in the manner and form as required by the Department.
7This paragraph does not apply to leases of motor vehicles for

9lease is not a defined period, including leases with a defined
10initial period with the option to continue the lease on a
11month-to-month or other basis beyond the initial defined
12period.
13 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
14construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
15vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
16agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or
17agricultural implement), while not including a kind of item
18which, if sold at retail by that retailer, would be exempt from
19retailers' occupation tax and use tax as an isolated or
20occasional sale.
21 "Department" means the Department of Revenue.
22 "Person" means any natural individual, firm, partnership,
23association, joint stock company, joint adventure, public or

HB5561- 88 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 "Retailer" means and includes every person engaged in the
2business of making sales at retail as defined in this Section.
3 A person who holds himself or herself out as being engaged
4(or who habitually engages) in selling tangible personal
5property at retail is a retailer hereunder with respect to such
6sales (and not primarily in a service occupation)
7notwithstanding the fact that such person designs and produces
8such tangible personal property on special order for the
9purchaser and in such a way as to render the property of value
10only to such purchaser, if such tangible personal property so
11produced on special order serves substantially the same
12function as stock or standard items of tangible personal
13property that are sold at retail.
14 A person whose activities are organized and conducted
15primarily as a not-for-profit service enterprise, and who
16engages in selling tangible personal property at retail
17(whether to the public or merely to members and their guests)
18is a retailer with respect to such transactions, excepting only
19a person organized and operated exclusively for charitable,
20religious or educational purposes either (1), to the extent of
21sales by such person to its members, students, patients or
22inmates of tangible personal property to be used primarily for
23the purposes of such person, or (2), to the extent of sales by
24such person of tangible personal property which is not sold or
25offered for sale by persons organized for profit. The selling
26of school books and school supplies by schools at retail to

HB5561- 89 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1students is not "primarily for the purposes of" the school
2which does such selling. This paragraph does not apply to nor
3subject to taxation occasional dinners, social or similar
4activities of a person organized and operated exclusively for
5charitable, religious or educational purposes, whether or not
6such activities are open to the public.

11amount by the individual participant pursuant to a schedule of
12suggested fees as provided for in the federal Act is not a
13retailer under this Act with respect to such transactions.
14 Persons who engage in the business of transferring tangible
15personal property upon the redemption of trading stamps are
16retailers hereunder when engaged in such business.
17 The isolated or occasional sale of tangible personal
18property at retail by a person who does not hold himself out as
19being engaged (or who does not habitually engage) in selling
20such tangible personal property at retail or a sale through a
21bulk vending machine does not make such person a retailer
22hereunder. However, any person who is engaged in a business
23which is not subject to the tax imposed by the Retailers'
24Occupation Tax Act because of involving the sale of or a
25contract to sell real estate or a construction contract to
26improve real estate, but who, in the course of conducting such

HB5561- 90 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1business, transfers tangible personal property to users or
2consumers in the finished form in which it was purchased, and
3which does not become real estate, under any provision of a
4construction contract or real estate sale or real estate sales
5agreement entered into with some other person arising out of or
6because of such nontaxable business, is a retailer to the
7extent of the value of the tangible personal property so
8transferred. If, in such transaction, a separate charge is made
9for the tangible personal property so transferred, the value of
10such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the amount so
11separately charged, but not less than the cost of such property
12to the transferor; if no separate charge is made, the value of
13such property, for the purposes of this Act, is the cost to the
14transferor of such tangible personal property.

HB5561- 154 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1a self-contained motor vehicle designed or permanently
2converted to provide living quarters for recreational,
3camping, or travel use, with direct walk through access to the
4living quarters from the driver's seat; (B) is of the van
5configuration designed for the transportation of not less than
67 nor more than 16 passengers; or (C) has a gross vehicle
7weight rating of 8,000 pounds or less or (2) is a motor vehicle
8of the first division, "selling price" or "amount of sale"
9means the consideration received by the lessor pursuant to the
10lease contract, including amounts due at lease signing and all
11monthly or other regular payments charged over the term of the
12lease. Also included in the selling price is any amount
13received by the lessor from the lessee for the leased vehicle
14that is not calculated at the time the lease is executed,
15including, but not limited to, excess mileage charges and
16charges for excess wear and tear. For sales that occur in
17Illinois, with respect to any amount received by the lessor
18from the lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated
19at the time the lease is executed, the lessor who purchased the
20motor vehicle does not incur the tax imposed by the Use Tax Act
21on those amounts, and the retailer who makes the retail sale of
22the motor vehicle to the lessor is not required to collect the
23tax imposed by the Use Tax Act or to pay the tax imposed by this
24Act on those amounts. However, the lessor who purchased the
25motor vehicle assumes the liability for reporting and paying
26the tax on those amounts directly to the Department in the same

HB5561- 155 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1form (Illinois Retailers' Occupation Tax, and local retailers'
2occupation taxes, if applicable) in which the retailer would
3have reported and paid such tax if the retailer had accounted
4for the tax to the Department. For amounts received by the
5lessor from the lessee that are not calculated at the time the
6lease is executed, the lessor must file the return and pay the
7tax to the Department by the due date otherwise required by
8this Act for returns other than transaction returns. If the
9retailer is entitled under this Act to a discount for
10collecting and remitting the tax imposed under this Act to the
11Department with respect to the sale of the motor vehicle to the
12lessor, then the right to the discount provided in this Act
13shall be transferred to the lessor with respect to the tax paid
14by the lessor for any amount received by the lessor from the
15lessee for the leased vehicle that is not calculated at the
16time the lease is executed; provided that the discount is only
17allowed if the return is timely filed and for amounts timely
18paid. The "selling price" of a motor vehicle that is sold on or
19after January 1, 2015 for the purpose of leasing for a defined
20period of longer than one year shall not be reduced by the
21value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal
22property owned by the lessor, nor shall it be reduced by the
23value of or credit given for traded-in tangible personal
24property owned by the lessee, regardless of whether the
25trade-in value thereof is assigned by the lessee to the lessor.
26In the case of a motor vehicle that is sold for the purpose of

HB5561- 156 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1leasing for a defined period of longer than one year, the sale
2occurs at the time of the delivery of the vehicle, regardless
3of the due date of any lease payments. A lessor who incurs a
4Retailers' Occupation Tax liability on the sale of a motor
5vehicle coming off lease may not take a credit against that
6liability for the Use Tax the lessor paid upon the purchase of
7the motor vehicle (or for any tax the lessor paid with respect
8to any amount received by the lessor from the lessee for the
9leased vehicle that was not calculated at the time the lease
10was executed) if the selling price of the motor vehicle at the
11time of purchase was calculated using the definition of
12"selling price" as defined in this paragraph. Notwithstanding
13any other provision of this Act to the contrary, lessors shall
14file all returns and make all payments required under this
15paragraph to the Department by electronic means in the manner
16and form as required by the Department. This paragraph does not
17apply to leases of motor vehicles for which, at the time the
18lease is entered into, the term of the lease is not a defined
19period, including leases with a defined initial period with the
20option to continue the lease on a month-to-month or other basis
21beyond the initial defined period.
22 The phrase "like kind and character" shall be liberally
23construed (including but not limited to any form of motor
24vehicle for any form of motor vehicle, or any kind of farm or
25agricultural implement for any other kind of farm or

4 retailer, agrees to purchase tangible personal property
5 and makes payment over the phone, in writing, or via the
6 Internet and takes possession of the tangible personal
7 property at the retailer's place of business, then the sale
8 shall be deemed to have occurred at the retailer's place of

10 property if the retailer regularly stocks the item or
11 similar items in the quantity, or similar quantities,
12 purchased by the purchaser.
13 (3) A retailer is deemed to be engaged in the business

1tangible personal property at retail in this State; (4) the
2name and address of the person or persons who will be

13application shall contain an acceptance of responsibility
14signed by the person or persons who will be responsible for
15filing returns and payment of the taxes due under this Act. If
16the applicant will sell tangible personal property at retail
17through vending machines, his application to register shall
18indicate the number of vending machines to be so operated. If
19requested by the Department at any time, that person shall
20verify the total number of vending machines he or she uses in
21his or her business of selling tangible personal property at
22retail.
23 The Department shall provide by rule for an expedited
24business registration process for remote retailers required to
25register and file under subsection (b) of Section 2 who use a
26certified service provider to file their returns under this

HB5561- 198 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1Act. Such expedited registration process shall allow the
2Department to register a taxpayer based upon the same
3registration information required by the Streamlined Sales Tax
4Governing Board for states participating in the Streamlined
5Sales Tax Project.
6 The Department may deny a certificate of registration to
7any applicant if a person who is named as the owner, a partner,
8a manager or member of a limited liability company, or a
9corporate officer of the applicant on the application for the
10certificate of registration is or has been named as the owner,
11a partner, a manager or member of a limited liability company,
12or a corporate officer on the application for the certificate
13of registration of another retailer that is in default for
14moneys due under this Act or any other tax or fee Act
15administered by the Department. For purposes of this paragraph
16only, in determining whether a person is in default for moneys
17due, the Department shall include only amounts established as a
18final liability within the 20 years prior to the date of the
19Department's notice of denial of a certificate of registration.
20 The Department may require an applicant for a certificate
21of registration hereunder to, at the time of filing such
22application, furnish a bond from a surety company authorized to
23do business in the State of Illinois, or an irrevocable bank
24letter of credit or a bond signed by 2 personal sureties who
25have filed, with the Department, sworn statements disclosing
26net assets equal to at least 3 times the amount of the bond to

HB5561- 199 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1be required of such applicant, or a bond secured by an
2assignment of a bank account or certificate of deposit, stocks
3or bonds, conditioned upon the applicant paying to the State of
4Illinois all moneys becoming due under this Act and under any
5other State tax law or municipal or county tax ordinance or
6resolution under which the certificate of registration that is
7issued to the applicant under this Act will permit the
8applicant to engage in business without registering separately
9under such other law, ordinance or resolution. In making a
10determination as to whether to require a bond or other
11security, the Department shall take into consideration whether
12the owner, any partner, any manager or member of a limited
13liability company, or a corporate officer of the applicant is
14or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or member of a
15limited liability company, or a corporate officer of another
16retailer that is in default for moneys due under this Act or
17any other tax or fee Act administered by the Department; and
18whether the owner, any partner, any manager or member of a
19limited liability company, or a corporate officer of the
20applicant is or has been the owner, a partner, a manager or
21member of a limited liability company, or a corporate officer
22of another retailer whose certificate of registration has been
23revoked within the previous 5 years under this Act or any other
24tax or fee Act administered by the Department. If a bond or
25other security is required, the Department shall fix the amount
26of the bond or other security, taking into consideration the

HB5561- 200 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1amount of money expected to become due from the applicant under
2this Act and under any other State tax law or municipal or
3county tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate
4of registration that is issued to the applicant under this Act
5will permit the applicant to engage in business without
6registering separately under such other law, ordinance, or
7resolution. The amount of security required by the Department
8shall be such as, in its opinion, will protect the State of
9Illinois against failure to pay the amount which may become due
10from the applicant under this Act and under any other State tax
11law or municipal or county tax ordinance or resolution under
12which the certificate of registration that is issued to the
13applicant under this Act will permit the applicant to engage in
14business without registering separately under such other law,
15ordinance or resolution, but the amount of the security
16required by the Department shall not exceed three times the
17amount of the applicant's average monthly tax liability, or
18$50,000.00, whichever amount is lower.
19 No certificate of registration under this Act shall be
20issued by the Department until the applicant provides the
21Department with satisfactory security, if required, as herein
22provided for.
23 Upon receipt of the application for certificate of
24registration in proper form, and upon approval by the
25Department of the security furnished by the applicant, if
26required, the Department shall issue to such applicant a

HB5561- 201 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1certificate of registration which shall permit the person to
2whom it is issued to engage in the business of selling tangible
3personal property at retail in this State. The certificate of
4registration shall be conspicuously displayed at the place of
5business which the person so registered states in his
6application to be the principal place of business from which he
7engages in the business of selling tangible personal property
8at retail in this State.
9 No certificate of registration issued prior to July 1, 2017
10to a taxpayer who files returns required by this Act on a
11monthly basis or renewed prior to July 1, 2017 by a taxpayer
12who files returns required by this Act on a monthly basis shall
13be valid after the expiration of 5 years from the date of its
14issuance or last renewal. No certificate of registration issued
15on or after July 1, 2017 to a taxpayer who files returns
16required by this Act on a monthly basis or renewed on or after
17July 1, 2017 by a taxpayer who files returns required by this
18Act on a monthly basis shall be valid after the expiration of
19one year from the date of its issuance or last renewal. The
20expiration date of a sub-certificate of registration shall be
21that of the certificate of registration to which the
22sub-certificate relates. Prior to July 1, 2017, a certificate
23of registration shall automatically be renewed, subject to
24revocation as provided by this Act, for an additional 5 years
25from the date of its expiration unless otherwise notified by
26the Department as provided by this paragraph. On and after July

HB5561- 202 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
11, 2017, a certificate of registration shall automatically be
2renewed, subject to revocation as provided by this Act, for an
3additional one year from the date of its expiration unless
4otherwise notified by the Department as provided by this
5paragraph.
6 Where a taxpayer to whom a certificate of registration is
7issued under this Act is in default to the State of Illinois
8for delinquent returns or for moneys due under this Act or any
9other State tax law or municipal or county ordinance
10administered or enforced by the Department, the Department
11shall, not less than 60 days before the expiration date of such
12certificate of registration, give notice to the taxpayer to
13whom the certificate was issued of the account period of the
14delinquent returns, the amount of tax, penalty and interest due
15and owing from the taxpayer, and that the certificate of
16registration shall not be automatically renewed upon its
17expiration date unless the taxpayer, on or before the date of
18expiration, has filed and paid the delinquent returns or paid
19the defaulted amount in full. A taxpayer to whom such a notice
20is issued shall be deemed an applicant for renewal. The
21Department shall promulgate regulations establishing
22procedures for taxpayers who file returns on a monthly basis
23but desire and qualify to change to a quarterly or yearly
24filing basis and will no longer be subject to renewal under
25this Section, and for taxpayers who file returns on a yearly or
26quarterly basis but who desire or are required to change to a

HB5561- 203 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1monthly filing basis and will be subject to renewal under this
2Section.
3 The Department may in its discretion approve renewal by an
4applicant who is in default if, at the time of application for
5renewal, the applicant files all of the delinquent returns or
6pays to the Department such percentage of the defaulted amount
7as may be determined by the Department and agrees in writing to
8waive all limitations upon the Department for collection of the
9remaining defaulted amount to the Department over a period not
10to exceed 5 years from the date of renewal of the certificate;
11however, no renewal application submitted by an applicant who
12is in default shall be approved if the immediately preceding
13renewal by the applicant was conditioned upon the installment
14payment agreement described in this Section. The payment
15agreement herein provided for shall be in addition to and not
16in lieu of the security that may be required by this Section of
17a taxpayer who is no longer considered a prior continuous
18compliance taxpayer. The execution of the payment agreement as
19provided in this Act shall not toll the accrual of interest at
20the statutory rate.
21 The Department may suspend a certificate of registration if
22the Department finds that the person to whom the certificate of
23registration has been issued knowingly sold contraband
24cigarettes.
25 A certificate of registration issued under this Act more
26than 5 years before January 1, 1990 (the effective date of

HB5561- 204 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1Public Act 86-383) shall expire and be subject to the renewal
2provisions of this Section on the next anniversary of the date
3of issuance of such certificate which occurs more than 6 months
4after January 1, 1990 (the effective date of Public Act
586-383). A certificate of registration issued less than 5 years
6before January 1, 1990 (the effective date of Public Act
786-383) shall expire and be subject to the renewal provisions
8of this Section on the 5th anniversary of the issuance of the
9certificate.
10 If the person so registered states that he operates other
11places of business from which he engages in the business of
12selling tangible personal property at retail in this State, the
13Department shall furnish him with a sub-certificate of
14registration for each such place of business, and the applicant
15shall display the appropriate sub-certificate of registration
16at each such place of business. All sub-certificates of
17registration shall bear the same registration number as that
18appearing upon the certificate of registration to which such
19sub-certificates relate.
20 If the applicant will sell tangible personal property at
21retail through vending machines, the Department shall furnish
22him with a sub-certificate of registration for each such
23vending machine, and the applicant shall display the
24appropriate sub-certificate of registration on each such
25vending machine by attaching the sub-certificate of
26registration to a conspicuous part of such vending machine. If

HB5561- 205 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1a person who is registered to sell tangible personal property
2at retail through vending machines adds an additional vending
3machine or additional vending machines to the number of vending
4machines he or she uses in his or her business of selling
5tangible personal property at retail, he or she shall notify
6the Department, on a form prescribed by the Department, to
7request an additional sub-certificate or additional
8sub-certificates of registration, as applicable. With each
9such request, the applicant shall report the number of
10sub-certificates of registration he or she is requesting as
11well as the total number of vending machines from which he or
12she makes retail sales.
13 Where the same person engages in 2 or more businesses of
14selling tangible personal property at retail in this State,
15which businesses are substantially different in character or
16engaged in under different trade names or engaged in under
17other substantially dissimilar circumstances (so that it is
18more practicable, from an accounting, auditing or bookkeeping
19standpoint, for such businesses to be separately registered),
20the Department may require or permit such person (subject to
21the same requirements concerning the furnishing of security as
22those that are provided for hereinbefore in this Section as to
23each application for a certificate of registration) to apply
24for and obtain a separate certificate of registration for each
25such business or for any of such businesses, under a single
26certificate of registration supplemented by related

HB5561- 206 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1sub-certificates of registration.
2 Any person who is registered under the Retailers'
3Occupation Tax Act as of March 8, 1963, and who, during the
43-year period immediately prior to March 8, 1963, or during a
5continuous 3-year period part of which passed immediately
6before and the remainder of which passes immediately after
7March 8, 1963, has been so registered continuously and who is
8determined by the Department not to have been either delinquent
9or deficient in the payment of tax liability during that period
10under this Act or under any other State tax law or municipal or
11county tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate
12of registration that is issued to the registrant under this Act
13will permit the registrant to engage in business without
14registering separately under such other law, ordinance or
15resolution, shall be considered to be a Prior Continuous
16Compliance taxpayer. Also any taxpayer who has, as verified by
17the Department, faithfully and continuously complied with the
18condition of his bond or other security under the provisions of
19this Act for a period of 3 consecutive years shall be
20considered to be a Prior Continuous Compliance taxpayer.
21 Every Prior Continuous Compliance taxpayer shall be exempt
22from all requirements under this Act concerning the furnishing
23of a bond or other security as a condition precedent to his
24being authorized to engage in the business of selling tangible
25personal property at retail in this State. This exemption shall
26continue for each such taxpayer until such time as he may be

HB5561- 207 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1determined by the Department to be delinquent in the filing of
2any returns, or is determined by the Department (either through
3the Department's issuance of a final assessment which has
4become final under the Act, or by the taxpayer's filing of a
5return which admits tax that is not paid to be due) to be
6delinquent or deficient in the paying of any tax under this Act
7or under any other State tax law or municipal or county tax
8ordinance or resolution under which the certificate of
9registration that is issued to the registrant under this Act
10will permit the registrant to engage in business without
11registering separately under such other law, ordinance or
12resolution, at which time that taxpayer shall become subject to
13all the financial responsibility requirements of this Act and,
14as a condition of being allowed to continue to engage in the
15business of selling tangible personal property at retail, may
16be required to post bond or other acceptable security with the
17Department covering liability which such taxpayer may
18thereafter incur. Any taxpayer who fails to pay an admitted or
19established liability under this Act may also be required to
20post bond or other acceptable security with this Department
21guaranteeing the payment of such admitted or established
22liability.
23 No certificate of registration shall be issued to any
24person who is in default to the State of Illinois for moneys
25due under this Act or under any other State tax law or
26municipal or county tax ordinance or resolution under which the

HB5561- 208 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1certificate of registration that is issued to the applicant
2under this Act will permit the applicant to engage in business
3without registering separately under such other law, ordinance
4or resolution.
5 Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Department
6under this Section may, within 20 days after notice of such
7decision, protest and request a hearing, whereupon the
8Department shall give notice to such person of the time and
9place fixed for such hearing and shall hold a hearing in
10conformity with the provisions of this Act and then issue its
11final administrative decision in the matter to such person. In
12the absence of such a protest within 20 days, the Department's
13decision shall become final without any further determination
14being made or notice given.
15 With respect to security other than bonds (upon which the
16Department may sue in the event of a forfeiture), if the
17taxpayer fails to pay, when due, any amount whose payment such
18security guarantees, the Department shall, after such
19liability is admitted by the taxpayer or established by the
20Department through the issuance of a final assessment that has
21become final under the law, convert the security which that
22taxpayer has furnished into money for the State, after first
23giving the taxpayer at least 10 days' written notice, by
24registered or certified mail, to pay the liability or forfeit
25such security to the Department. If the security consists of
26stocks or bonds or other securities which are listed on a

HB5561- 209 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1public exchange, the Department shall sell such securities
2through such public exchange. If the security consists of an
3irrevocable bank letter of credit, the Department shall convert
4the security in the manner provided for in the Uniform
5Commercial Code. If the security consists of a bank certificate
6of deposit, the Department shall convert the security into
7money by demanding and collecting the amount of such bank
8certificate of deposit from the bank which issued such
9certificate. If the security consists of a type of stocks or
10other securities which are not listed on a public exchange, the
11Department shall sell such security to the highest and best
12bidder after giving at least 10 days' notice of the date, time
13and place of the intended sale by publication in the "State
14Official Newspaper". If the Department realizes more than the
15amount of such liability from the security, plus the expenses
16incurred by the Department in converting the security into
17money, the Department shall pay such excess to the taxpayer who
18furnished such security, and the balance shall be paid into the
19State Treasury.
20 The Department shall discharge any surety and shall release
21and return any security deposited, assigned, pledged or
22otherwise provided to it by a taxpayer under this Section
23within 30 days after:
24 (1) such taxpayer becomes a Prior Continuous
25 Compliance taxpayer; or
26 (2) such taxpayer has ceased to collect receipts on

HB5561- 210 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 which he is required to remit tax to the Department, has
2 filed a final tax return, and has paid to the Department an
3 amount sufficient to discharge his remaining tax
4 liability, as determined by the Department, under this Act
5 and under every other State tax law or municipal or county
6 tax ordinance or resolution under which the certificate of
7 registration issued under this Act permits the registrant
8 to engage in business without registering separately under
9 such other law, ordinance or resolution. The Department
10 shall make a final determination of the taxpayer's
11 outstanding tax liability as expeditiously as possible
12 after his final tax return has been filed; if the
13 Department cannot make such final determination within 45
14 days after receiving the final tax return, within such
15 period it shall so notify the taxpayer, stating its reasons
16 therefor.

16 such a certified payroll on or before the date such
17 certified payroll is required by this paragraph to be filed

10Beginning on July 1, 1979 and thereafter, in addition to such
11income tax, there is also hereby imposed the Personal Property
12Tax Replacement Income Tax measured by net income on every
13corporation (including Subchapter S corporations), partnership
14and trust, for each taxable year ending after June 30, 1979.
15Such taxes are imposed on the privilege of earning or receiving

1be an additional amount equal to 2.85% of such taxpayer's net
2income for the taxable year, except that beginning on January
31, 1981, and thereafter, the rate of 2.85% specified in this
4subsection shall be reduced to 2.5%, and in the case of a
5partnership, trust or a Subchapter S corporation shall be an
6additional amount equal to 1.5% of such taxpayer's net income
7for the taxable year.
8 (d-1) Rate reduction for certain foreign insurers. In the
9case of a foreign insurer, as defined by Section 35A-5 of the
10Illinois Insurance Code, whose state or country of domicile
11imposes on insurers domiciled in Illinois a retaliatory tax
12(excluding any insurer whose premiums from reinsurance assumed
13are 50% or more of its total insurance premiums as determined
14under paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 304, except
15that for purposes of this determination premiums from
16reinsurance do not include premiums from inter-affiliate
17reinsurance arrangements), beginning with taxable years ending
18on or after December 31, 1999, the sum of the rates of tax
19imposed by subsections (b) and (d) shall be reduced (but not
20increased) to the rate at which the total amount of tax imposed
21under this Act, net of all credits allowed under this Act,
22shall equal (i) the total amount of tax that would be imposed
23on the foreign insurer's net income allocable to Illinois for
24the taxable year by such foreign insurer's state or country of
25domicile if that net income were subject to all income taxes
26and taxes measured by net income imposed by such foreign

HB5561- 341 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1insurer's state or country of domicile, net of all credits
2allowed or (ii) a rate of zero if no such tax is imposed on such
3income by the foreign insurer's state of domicile. For the
4purposes of this subsection (d-1), an inter-affiliate includes
5a mutual insurer under common management.
6 (1) For the purposes of subsection (d-1), in no event
7 shall the sum of the rates of tax imposed by subsections
8 (b) and (d) be reduced below the rate at which the sum of:
9 (A) the total amount of tax imposed on such foreign
10 insurer under this Act for a taxable year, net of all
11 credits allowed under this Act, plus
12 (B) the privilege tax imposed by Section 409 of the
13 Illinois Insurance Code, the fire insurance company
14 tax imposed by Section 12 of the Fire Investigation
15 Act, and the fire department taxes imposed under
16 Section 11-10-1 of the Illinois Municipal Code,
17 equals 1.25% for taxable years ending prior to December 31,

21 409 of the Illinois Insurance Code. This paragraph will in
22 no event increase the rates imposed under subsections (b)
23 and (d).
24 (2) Any reduction in the rates of tax imposed by this
25 subsection shall be applied first against the rates imposed
26 by subsection (b) and only after the tax imposed by

HB5561- 342 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 subsection (a) net of all credits allowed under this
2 Section other than the credit allowed under subsection (i)
3 has been reduced to zero, against the rates imposed by
4 subsection (d).
5 This subsection (d-1) is exempt from the provisions of
6Section 250.
7 (e) Investment credit. A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit
8against the Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax for
9investment in qualified property.
10 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit equal to .5%
11 of the basis of qualified property placed in service during
12 the taxable year, provided such property is placed in
13 service on or after July 1, 1984. There shall be allowed an
14 additional credit equal to .5% of the basis of qualified
15 property placed in service during the taxable year,
16 provided such property is placed in service on or after
17 July 1, 1986, and the taxpayer's base employment within
18 Illinois has increased by 1% or more over the preceding
19 year as determined by the taxpayer's employment records
20 filed with the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
21 Taxpayers who are new to Illinois shall be deemed to have
22 met the 1% growth in base employment for the first year in
23 which they file employment records with the Illinois
24 Department of Employment Security. The provisions added to
25 this Section by Public Act 85-1200 (and restored by Public
26 Act 87-895) shall be construed as declaratory of existing

HB5561- 343 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 law and not as a new enactment. If, in any year, the
2 increase in base employment within Illinois over the
3 preceding year is less than 1%, the additional credit shall
4 be limited to that percentage times a fraction, the
5 numerator of which is .5% and the denominator of which is
6 1%, but shall not exceed .5%. The investment credit shall
7 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
8 taxpayer's liability in any tax year below zero, nor may
9 any credit for qualified property be allowed for any year
10 other than the year in which the property was placed in
11 service in Illinois. For tax years ending on or after
12 December 31, 1987, and on or before December 31, 1988, the
13 credit shall be allowed for the tax year in which the
14 property is placed in service, or, if the amount of the
15 credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, whether it
16 exceeds the original liability or the liability as later
17 amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied to
18 the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the
19 excess credit years if the taxpayer (i) makes investments
20 which cause the creation of a minimum of 2,000 full-time
21 equivalent jobs in Illinois, (ii) is located in an
22 enterprise zone established pursuant to the Illinois
23 Enterprise Zone Act and (iii) is certified by the
24 Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now
25 Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) as
26 complying with the requirements specified in clause (i) and

HB5561- 344 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 (ii) by July 1, 1986. The Department of Commerce and
2 Community Affairs (now Department of Commerce and Economic
3 Opportunity) shall notify the Department of Revenue of all
4 such certifications immediately. For tax years ending
5 after December 31, 1988, the credit shall be allowed for
6 the tax year in which the property is placed in service,
7 or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability
8 for that year, whether it exceeds the original liability or
9 the liability as later amended, such excess may be carried
10 forward and applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable
11 years following the excess credit years. The credit shall
12 be applied to the earliest year for which there is a
13 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
14 that is available to offset a liability, earlier credit
15 shall be applied first.
16 (2) The term "qualified property" means property
17 which:
18 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
19 buildings and structural components of buildings and
20 signs that are real property, but not including land or
21 improvements to real property that are not a structural
22 component of a building such as landscaping, sewer
23 lines, local access roads, fencing, parking lots, and
24 other appurtenances;
25 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
26 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"

HB5561- 345 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
2 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
3 (e);
4 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
5 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
6 (D) is used in Illinois by a taxpayer who is
7 primarily engaged in manufacturing, or in mining coal
8 or fluorite, or in retailing, or was placed in service
9 on or after July 1, 2006 in a River Edge Redevelopment
10 Zone established pursuant to the River Edge
11 Redevelopment Zone Act; and
12 (E) has not previously been used in Illinois in
13 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
14 the credit provided by this subsection (e) or
15 subsection (f).
16 (3) For purposes of this subsection (e),
17 "manufacturing" means the material staging and production
18 of tangible personal property by procedures commonly
19 regarded as manufacturing, processing, fabrication, or
20 assembling which changes some existing material into new
21 shapes, new qualities, or new combinations. For purposes of
22 this subsection (e) the term "mining" shall have the same
23 meaning as the term "mining" in Section 613(c) of the
24 Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this subsection (e),
25 the term "retailing" means the sale of tangible personal
26 property for use or consumption and not for resale, or

HB5561- 346 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 services rendered in conjunction with the sale of tangible
2 personal property for use or consumption and not for
3 resale. For purposes of this subsection (e), "tangible
4 personal property" has the same meaning as when that term
5 is used in the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, and, for
6 taxable years ending after December 31, 2008, does not
7 include the generation, transmission, or distribution of
8 electricity.
9 (4) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
10 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
11 income tax purposes.
12 (5) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
13 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
14 in service in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of such
15 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
16 date of such increase in basis.
17 (6) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
18 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
19 (7) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to
20 be qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within
21 48 months after being placed in service, or the situs of
22 any qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
23 months after being placed in service, the Personal Property
24 Tax Replacement Income Tax for such taxable year shall be
25 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
26 recomputing the investment credit which would have been

HB5561- 347 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
2 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
3 computation and, (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
4 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
5 purposes of this paragraph (7), a reduction of the basis of
6 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
7 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
8 property to the extent of such reduction.
9 (8) Unless the investment credit is extended by law,
10 the basis of qualified property shall not include costs
11 incurred after December 31, 2018, except for costs incurred
12 pursuant to a binding contract entered into on or before
13 December 31, 2018.
14 (9) Each taxable year ending before December 31, 2000,
15 a partnership may elect to pass through to its partners the
16 credits to which the partnership is entitled under this
17 subsection (e) for the taxable year. A partner may use the
18 credit allocated to him or her under this paragraph only
19 against the tax imposed in subsections (c) and (d) of this
20 Section. If the partnership makes that election, those
21 credits shall be allocated among the partners in the
22 partnership in accordance with the rules set forth in
23 Section 704(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the rules
24 promulgated under that Section, and the allocated amount of
25 the credits shall be allowed to the partners for that
26 taxable year. The partnership shall make this election on

HB5561- 348 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 its Personal Property Tax Replacement Income Tax return for
2 that taxable year. The election to pass through the credits
3 shall be irrevocable.
4 For taxable years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
5 a partner that qualifies its partnership for a subtraction
6 under subparagraph (I) of paragraph (2) of subsection (d)
7 of Section 203 or a shareholder that qualifies a Subchapter
8 S corporation for a subtraction under subparagraph (S) of
9 paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 203 shall be
10 allowed a credit under this subsection (e) equal to its
11 share of the credit earned under this subsection (e) during
12 the taxable year by the partnership or Subchapter S
13 corporation, determined in accordance with the
14 determination of income and distributive share of income
15 under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal
16 Revenue Code. This paragraph is exempt from the provisions
17 of Section 250.
18 (f) Investment credit; Enterprise Zone; River Edge
19Redevelopment Zone.
20 (1) A taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the
21 tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for
22 investment in qualified property which is placed in service
23 in an Enterprise Zone created pursuant to the Illinois
24 Enterprise Zone Act or, for property placed in service on
25 or after July 1, 2006, a River Edge Redevelopment Zone
26 established pursuant to the River Edge Redevelopment Zone

HB5561- 349 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S
2 corporations, and owners of limited liability companies,
3 if the liability company is treated as a partnership for
4 purposes of federal and State income taxation, there shall
5 be allowed a credit under this subsection (f) to be
6 determined in accordance with the determination of income
7 and distributive share of income under Sections 702 and 704
8 and Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The credit
9 shall be .5% of the basis for such property. The credit
10 shall be available only in the taxable year in which the
11 property is placed in service in the Enterprise Zone or
12 River Edge Redevelopment Zone and shall not be allowed to
13 the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's liability for
14 the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section
15 to below zero. For tax years ending on or after December
16 31, 1985, the credit shall be allowed for the tax year in
17 which the property is placed in service, or, if the amount
18 of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year,
19 whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability
20 as later amended, such excess may be carried forward and
21 applied to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years
22 following the excess credit year. The credit shall be
23 applied to the earliest year for which there is a
24 liability. If there is credit from more than one tax year
25 that is available to offset a liability, the credit
26 accruing first in time shall be applied first.

HB5561- 350 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
2 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
3 buildings and structural components of buildings;
4 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
5 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
6 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
7 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
8 (f);
9 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
10 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code;
11 (D) is used in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
12 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer; and
13 (E) has not been previously used in Illinois in
14 such a manner and by such a person as would qualify for
15 the credit provided by this subsection (f) or
16 subsection (e).
17 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
18 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
19 income tax purposes.
20 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
21 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
22 in service in the Enterprise Zone or River Edge
23 Redevelopment Zone by the taxpayer, the amount of such
24 increase shall be deemed property placed in service on the
25 date of such increase in basis.
26 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same

HB5561- 351 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
2 (6) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to

6 or River Edge Redevelopment Zone within 48 months after
7 being placed in service, the tax imposed under subsections
8 (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable year shall be
9 increased. Such increase shall be determined by (i)
10 recomputing the investment credit which would have been
11 allowed for the year in which credit for such property was
12 originally allowed by eliminating such property from such
13 computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed credit
14 from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the
15 purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the basis of
16 qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the
17 purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified
18 property to the extent of such reduction.
19 (7) There shall be allowed an additional credit equal
20 to 0.5% of the basis of qualified property placed in
21 service during the taxable year in a River Edge
22 Redevelopment Zone, provided such property is placed in
23 service on or after July 1, 2006, and the taxpayer's base
24 employment within Illinois has increased by 1% or more over
25 the preceding year as determined by the taxpayer's
26 employment records filed with the Illinois Department of

HB5561- 352 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b

2 shall be deemed to have met the 1% growth in base
3 employment for the first year in which they file employment
4 records with the Illinois Department of Employment
5 Security. If, in any year, the increase in base employment
6 within Illinois over the preceding year is less than 1%,
7 the additional credit shall be limited to that percentage
8 times a fraction, the numerator of which is 0.5% and the
9 denominator of which is 1%, but shall not exceed 0.5%.

11 not be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a
12 taxpayer's liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a)
13 and (b) of this Section to below zero. For tax years ending
14 on or after December 31, 1987, the credit shall be allowed
15 for the tax year in which the property is placed in
16 service, or, if the amount of the credit exceeds the tax
17 liability for that year, whether it exceeds the original
18 liability or the liability as later amended, such excess
19 may be carried forward and applied to the tax liability of
20 the 5 taxable years following the excess credit year. The
21 credit shall be applied to the earliest year for which
22 there is a liability. If there is credit from more than one
23 tax year that is available to offset a liability, the
24 credit accruing first in time shall be applied first.
25 Changes made in this subdivision (h)(1) by Public Act
26 88-670 restore changes made by Public Act 85-1182 and

HB5561- 354 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 reflect existing law.
2 (2) The term qualified property means property which:
3 (A) is tangible, whether new or used, including
4 buildings and structural components of buildings;
5 (B) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the
6 Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property"
7 as defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not
8 eligible for the credit provided by this subsection
9 (h);
10 (C) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section
11 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
12 (D) is not eligible for the Enterprise Zone
13 Investment Credit provided by subsection (f) of this
14 Section.
15 (3) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis
16 used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal
17 income tax purposes.
18 (4) If the basis of the property for federal income tax
19 depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed
20 in service in a federally designated Foreign Trade Zone or
21 Sub-Zone located in Illinois by the taxpayer, the amount of
22 such increase shall be deemed property placed in service on
23 the date of such increase in basis.
24 (5) The term "placed in service" shall have the same
25 meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code.
26 (6) If during any taxable year ending on or before

HB5561- 355 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 December 31, 1996, any property ceases to be qualified
2 property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 months
3 after being placed in service, or the situs of any
4 qualified property is moved outside Illinois within 48
5 months after being placed in service, the tax imposed under
6 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section for such taxable
7 year shall be increased. Such increase shall be determined
8 by (i) recomputing the investment credit which would have
9 been allowed for the year in which credit for such property
10 was originally allowed by eliminating such property from
11 such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed
12 credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For
13 the purposes of this paragraph (6), a reduction of the
14 basis of qualified property resulting from a
15 redetermination of the purchase price shall be deemed a
16 disposition of qualified property to the extent of such
17 reduction.
18 (7) Beginning with tax years ending after December 31,
19 1996, if a taxpayer qualifies for the credit under this
20 subsection (h) and thereby is granted a tax abatement and
21 the taxpayer relocates its entire facility in violation of
22 the explicit terms and length of the contract under Section
23 18-183 of the Property Tax Code, the tax imposed under
24 subsections (a) and (b) of this Section shall be increased
25 for the taxable year in which the taxpayer relocated its
26 facility by an amount equal to the amount of credit

HB5561- 356 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 received by the taxpayer under this subsection (h).
2 (i) Credit for Personal Property Tax Replacement Income

4shall be allowed against the tax imposed by subsections (a) and
5(b) of this Section for the tax imposed by subsections (c) and
6(d) of this Section. This credit shall be computed by
7multiplying the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
8Section by a fraction, the numerator of which is base income
9allocable to Illinois and the denominator of which is Illinois
10base income, and further multiplying the product by the tax
11rate imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of this Section.
12 Any credit earned on or after December 31, 1986 under this
13subsection which is unused in the year the credit is computed
14because it exceeds the tax liability imposed by subsections (a)
15and (b) for that year (whether it exceeds the original
16liability or the liability as later amended) may be carried
17forward and applied to the tax liability imposed by subsections
18(a) and (b) of the 5 taxable years following the excess credit
19year, provided that no credit may be carried forward to any
20year ending on or after December 31, 2003. This credit shall be
21applied first to the earliest year for which there is a
22liability. If there is a credit under this subsection from more
23than one tax year that is available to offset a liability the
24earliest credit arising under this subsection shall be applied
25first.
26 If, during any taxable year ending on or after December 31,

HB5561- 357 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
11986, the tax imposed by subsections (c) and (d) of this
2Section for which a taxpayer has claimed a credit under this
3subsection (i) is reduced, the amount of credit for such tax
4shall also be reduced. Such reduction shall be determined by
5recomputing the credit to take into account the reduced tax
6imposed by subsections (c) and (d). If any portion of the
7reduced amount of credit has been carried to a different
8taxable year, an amended return shall be filed for such taxable
9year to reduce the amount of credit claimed.
10 (j) Training expense credit. Beginning with tax years
11ending on or after December 31, 1986 and prior to December 31,
122003, a taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax

16of Illinois by a taxpayer, for educational or vocational
17training in semi-technical or technical fields or semi-skilled
18or skilled fields, which were deducted from gross income in the
19computation of taxable income. The credit against the tax
20imposed by subsections (a) and (b) shall be 1.6% of such
21training expenses. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
22corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
23liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
24federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
25credit under this subsection (j) to be determined in accordance
26with the determination of income and distributive share of

HB5561- 358 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
2Internal Revenue Code.
3 Any credit allowed under this subsection which is unused in
4the year the credit is earned may be carried forward to each of
5the 5 taxable years following the year for which the credit is
6first computed until it is used. This credit shall be applied
7first to the earliest year for which there is a liability. If
8there is a credit under this subsection from more than one tax
9year that is available to offset a liability the earliest
10credit arising under this subsection shall be applied first. No
11carryforward credit may be claimed in any tax year ending on or
12after December 31, 2003.
13 (k) Research and development credit. For tax years ending
14after July 1, 1990 and prior to December 31, 2003, and

20subsections (a) and (b) shall be equal to 6 1/2% of the
21qualifying expenditures for increasing research activities in
22this State. For partners, shareholders of subchapter S
23corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if the
24liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes of
25federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a
26credit under this subsection to be determined in accordance

HB5561- 359 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b

2income under Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the
3Internal Revenue Code.
4 For purposes of this subsection, "qualifying expenditures"
5means the qualifying expenditures as defined for the federal
6credit for increasing research activities which would be
7allowable under Section 41 of the Internal Revenue Code and
8which are conducted in this State, "qualifying expenditures for
9increasing research activities in this State" means the excess
10of qualifying expenditures for the taxable year in which
11incurred over qualifying expenditures for the base period,
12"qualifying expenditures for the base period" means the average
13of the qualifying expenditures for each year in the base
14period, and "base period" means the 3 taxable years immediately
15preceding the taxable year for which the determination is being
16made.
17 Any credit in excess of the tax liability for the taxable
18year may be carried forward. A taxpayer may elect to have the
19unused credit shown on its final completed return carried over
20as a credit against the tax liability for the following 5
21taxable years or until it has been fully used, whichever occurs
22first; provided that no credit earned in a tax year ending
23prior to December 31, 2003 may be carried forward to any year
24ending on or after December 31, 2003.
25 If an unused credit is carried forward to a given year from
262 or more earlier years, that credit arising in the earliest

HB5561- 360 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1year will be applied first against the tax liability for the
2given year. If a tax liability for the given year still
3remains, the credit from the next earliest year will then be
4applied, and so on, until all credits have been used or no tax
5liability for the given year remains. Any remaining unused
6credit or credits then will be carried forward to the next
7following year in which a tax liability is incurred, except
8that no credit can be carried forward to a year which is more
9than 5 years after the year in which the expense for which the
10credit is given was incurred.
11 No inference shall be drawn from this amendatory Act of the
1291st General Assembly in construing this Section for taxable
13years beginning before January 1, 1999.
14 It is the intent of the General Assembly that the research
15and development credit under this subsection (k) shall apply

21continuation of the credit under this subsection (k) by any
22taxpayer are hereby validated.

13 available to any taxpayer if the taxpayer or any related
14 party caused or contributed to, in any material respect, a
15 release of regulated substances on, in, or under the site
16 that was identified and addressed by the remedial action
17 pursuant to the Site Remediation Program of the

12 total credit allowed shall not exceed $40,000 per year with
13 a maximum total of $150,000 per site. For partners and
14 shareholders of subchapter S corporations, there shall be

5a resident shall be allocated to this State if such person's
6business income is derived solely from this State. If a person
7other than a resident derives business income from this State
8and one or more other states, then, for tax years ending on or
9before December 30, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
10this Section, such person's business income shall be
11apportioned to this State by multiplying the income by a
12fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the property
13factor (if any), the payroll factor (if any) and 200% of the
14sales factor (if any), and the denominator of which is 4
15reduced by the number of factors other than the sales factor
16which have a denominator of zero and by an additional 2 if the
17sales factor has a denominator of zero. For tax years ending on
18or after December 31, 1998, and except as otherwise provided by
19this Section, persons other than residents who derive business
20income from this State and one or more other states shall
21compute their apportionment factor by weighting their
22property, payroll, and sales factors as provided in subsection
23(h) of this Section.
24 (1) Property factor.
25 (A) The property factor is a fraction, the numerator of

HB5561- 375 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 which is the average value of the person's real and
2 tangible personal property owned or rented and used in the
3 trade or business in this State during the taxable year and

9 original cost. Property rented by the person is valued at 8
10 times the net annual rental rate. Net annual rental rate is
11 the annual rental rate paid by the person less any annual
12 rental rate received by the person from sub-rentals.
13 (C) The average value of property shall be determined
14 by averaging the values at the beginning and ending of the
15 taxable year but the Director may require the averaging of
16 monthly values during the taxable year if reasonably
17 required to reflect properly the average value of the
18 person's property.
19 (2) Payroll factor.
20 (A) The payroll factor is a fraction, the numerator of
21 which is the total amount paid in this State during the
22 taxable year by the person for compensation, and the
23 denominator of which is the total compensation paid
24 everywhere during the taxable year.
25 (B) Compensation is paid in this State if:
26 (i) The individual's service is performed entirely

HB5561- 376 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b

3 within and without this State, but the service
4 performed without this State is incidental to the
5 individual's service performed within this State; or
6 (iii) For tax years ending prior to December 31,
7 2020, some of the service is performed within this
8 State and either the base of operations, or if there is
9 no base of operations, the place from which the service
10 is directed or controlled is within this State, or the
11 base of operations or the place from which the service
12 is directed or controlled is not in any state in which
13 some part of the service is performed, but the
14 individual's residence is in this State. For tax years
15 ending on or after December 31, 2020, compensation is
16 paid in this State if some of the individual's service
17 is performed within this State, the individual's
18 service performed within this State is nonincidental
19 to the individual's service performed without this
20 State, and the individual's service is performed
21 within this State for more than 30 working days during
22 the tax year. The amount of compensation paid in this
23 State shall include the portion of the individual's
24 total compensation for services performed on behalf of

12 (B-7) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
13 2008, receipts from the sale of broadcasting services are
14 in this State if the broadcasting services are received in
15 this State. For purposes of this paragraph (B-7), the
16 following terms have the following meanings:
17 "Advertising revenue" means consideration received
18 by the taxpayer in exchange for broadcasting services
19 or allowing the broadcasting of commercials or
20 announcements in connection with the broadcasting of
21 film or radio programming, from sponsorships of the
22 programming, or from product placements in the
23 programming.
24 "Audience factor" means the ratio that the
25 audience or subscribers located in this State of a
26 station, a network, or a cable system bears to the

HB5561- 398 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 total audience or total subscribers for that station,
2 network, or cable system. The audience factor for film
3 or radio programming shall be determined by reference
4 to the books and records of the taxpayer or by
5 reference to published rating statistics provided the
6 method used by the taxpayer is consistently used from
7 year to year for this purpose and fairly represents the
8 taxpayer's activity in this State.
9 "Broadcast" or "broadcasting" or "broadcasting
10 services" means the transmission or provision of film
11 or radio programming, whether through the public
12 airwaves, by cable, by direct or indirect satellite
13 transmission, or by any other means of communication,
14 either through a station, a network, or a cable system.
15 "Film" or "film programming" means the broadcast
16 on television of any and all performances, events, or
17 productions, including, but not limited to, news,
18 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
19 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
20 live or through the use of video tape, disc, or any
21 other type of format or medium. Each episode of a
22 series of films produced for television shall
23 constitute separate "film" notwithstanding that the
24 series relates to the same principal subject and is
25 produced during one or more tax periods.
26 "Radio" or "radio programming" means the broadcast

HB5561- 399 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 on radio of any and all performances, events, or
2 productions, including, but not limited to, news,
3 sporting events, plays, stories, or other literary,
4 commercial, educational, or artistic works, either
5 live or through the use of an audio tape, disc, or any
6 other format or medium. Each episode in a series of
7 radio programming produced for radio broadcast shall
8 constitute a separate "radio programming"
9 notwithstanding that the series relates to the same
10 principal subject and is produced during one or more
11 tax periods.
12 (i) In the case of advertising revenue from
13 broadcasting, the customer is the advertiser and
14 the service is received in this State if the
15 commercial domicile of the advertiser is in this
16 State.
17 (ii) In the case where film or radio
18 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
19 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
20 received from the recipient of the broadcast, the
21 portion of the service that is received in this
22 State is measured by the portion of the recipients
23 of the broadcast located in this State.
24 Accordingly, the fee or other remuneration for
25 such service that is included in the Illinois
26 numerator of the sales factor is the total of those

HB5561- 400 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 fees or other remuneration received from
2 recipients in Illinois. For purposes of this
3 paragraph, a taxpayer may determine the location
4 of the recipients of its broadcast using the
5 address of the recipient shown in its contracts
6 with the recipient or using the billing address of
7 the recipient in the taxpayer's records.
8 (iii) In the case where film or radio
9 programming is broadcast by a station, a network,
10 or a cable system for a fee or other remuneration
11 from the person providing the programming, the
12 portion of the broadcast service that is received
13 by such station, network, or cable system in this
14 State is measured by the portion of recipients of
15 the broadcast located in this State. Accordingly,
16 the amount of revenue related to such an
17 arrangement that is included in the Illinois
18 numerator of the sales factor is the total fee or
19 other total remuneration from the person providing
20 the programming related to that broadcast
21 multiplied by the Illinois audience factor for
22 that broadcast.
23 (iv) In the case where film or radio
24 programming is provided by a taxpayer that is a
25 network or station to a customer for broadcast in
26 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that

HB5561- 401 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 customer the broadcasting service is received at
2 the location of the office of the customer from
3 which the services were ordered in the regular
4 course of the customer's trade or business.
5 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
6 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
7 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
8 revenue from such customers who receive the
9 broadcasting service in Illinois.
10 (v) In the case where film or radio programming
11 is provided by a taxpayer that is not a network or
12 station to another person for broadcasting in
13 exchange for a fee or other remuneration from that
14 person, the broadcasting service is received at
15 the location of the office of the customer from
16 which the services were ordered in the regular
17 course of the customer's trade or business.
18 Accordingly, in such a case the revenue derived by
19 the taxpayer that is included in the taxpayer's
20 Illinois numerator of the sales factor is the
21 revenue from such customers who receive the
22 broadcasting service in Illinois.
23 (B-8) Gross receipts from winnings under the Illinois
24 Lottery Law from the assignment of a prize under Section
25 13.1 of the Illinois Lottery Law are received in this

2 (B-9) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
3 2019, gross receipts from winnings from pari-mutuel
4 wagering conducted at a wagering facility licensed under
5 the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 or from winnings from
6 gambling games conducted on a riverboat or in a casino or
7 organization gaming facility licensed under the Illinois
8 Gambling Act are in this State.
9 (C) For taxable years ending before December 31, 2008,
10 sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B), (B-1),
11 (B-2), and (B-8) are in this State if:
12 (i) The income-producing activity is performed in
13 this State; or
14 (ii) The income-producing activity is performed
15 both within and without this State and a greater
16 proportion of the income-producing activity is
17 performed within this State than without this State,
18 based on performance costs.
19 (C-5) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, sales, other than sales governed by paragraphs (B),
21 (B-1), (B-2), (B-5), and (B-7), are in this State if any of
22 the following criteria are met:
23 (i) Sales from the sale or lease of real property
24 are in this State if the property is located in this
25 State.
26 (ii) Sales from the lease or rental of tangible

HB5561- 403 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 personal property are in this State if the property is
2 located in this State during the rental period. Sales
3 from the lease or rental of tangible personal property
4 that is characteristically moving property, including,
5 but not limited to, motor vehicles, rolling stock,
6 aircraft, vessels, or mobile equipment are in this
7 State to the extent that the property is used in this
8 State.
9 (iii) In the case of interest, net gains (but not
10 less than zero) and other items of income from
11 intangible personal property, the sale is in this State
12 if:
13 (a) in the case of a taxpayer who is a dealer
14 in the item of intangible personal property within
15 the meaning of Section 475 of the Internal Revenue
16 Code, the income or gain is received from a
17 customer in this State. For purposes of this
18 subparagraph, a customer is in this State if the
19 customer is an individual, trust or estate who is a
20 resident of this State and, for all other
21 customers, if the customer's commercial domicile
22 is in this State. Unless the dealer has actual
23 knowledge of the residence or commercial domicile
24 of a customer during a taxable year, the customer
25 shall be deemed to be a customer in this State if
26 the billing address of the customer, as shown in

HB5561- 404 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 the records of the dealer, is in this State; or
2 (b) in all other cases, if the
3 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
4 performed in this State or, if the
5 income-producing activity of the taxpayer is
6 performed both within and without this State, if a
7 greater proportion of the income-producing
8 activity of the taxpayer is performed within this
9 State than in any other state, based on performance
10 costs.
11 (iv) Sales of services are in this State if the
12 services are received in this State. For the purposes
13 of this section, gross receipts from the performance of
14 services provided to a corporation, partnership, or
15 trust may only be attributed to a state where that
16 corporation, partnership, or trust has a fixed place of
17 business. If the state where the services are received
18 is not readily determinable or is a state where the
19 corporation, partnership, or trust receiving the
20 service does not have a fixed place of business, the
21 services shall be deemed to be received at the location
22 of the office of the customer from which the services
23 were ordered in the regular course of the customer's
24 trade or business. If the ordering office cannot be
25 determined, the services shall be deemed to be received
26 at the office of the customer to which the services are

HB5561- 405 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 billed. If the taxpayer is not taxable in the state in
2 which the services are received, the sale must be
3 excluded from both the numerator and the denominator of
4 the sales factor. The Department shall adopt rules
5 prescribing where specific types of service are
6 received, including, but not limited to, publishing,
7 and utility service.
8 (D) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
9 1995, the following items of income shall not be included
10 in the numerator or denominator of the sales factor:
11 dividends; amounts included under Section 78 of the
12 Internal Revenue Code; and Subpart F income as defined in
13 Section 952 of the Internal Revenue Code. No inference
14 shall be drawn from the enactment of this paragraph (D) in
15 construing this Section for taxable years ending before
16 December 31, 1995.
17 (E) Paragraphs (B-1) and (B-2) shall apply to tax years
18 ending on or after December 31, 1999, provided that a
19 taxpayer may elect to apply the provisions of these
20 paragraphs to prior tax years. Such election shall be made
21 in the form and manner prescribed by the Department, shall
22 be irrevocable, and shall apply to all tax years; provided
23 that, if a taxpayer's Illinois income tax liability for any
24 tax year, as assessed under Section 903 prior to January 1,
25 1999, was computed in a manner contrary to the provisions
26 of paragraphs (B-1) or (B-2), no refund shall be payable to

HB5561- 406 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 the taxpayer for that tax year to the extent such refund is
2 the result of applying the provisions of paragraph (B-1) or
3 (B-2) retroactively. In the case of a unitary business
4 group, such election shall apply to all members of such
5 group for every tax year such group is in existence, but
6 shall not apply to any taxpayer for any period during which
7 that taxpayer is not a member of such group.
8 (b) Insurance companies.
9 (1) In general. Except as otherwise provided by
10 paragraph (2), business income of an insurance company for
11 a taxable year shall be apportioned to this State by
12 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
13 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
14 property or risk in this State, and the denominator of
15 which is the direct premiums written for insurance upon
16 property or risk everywhere. For purposes of this
17 subsection, the term "direct premiums written" means the
18 total amount of direct premiums written, assessments and
19 annuity considerations as reported for the taxable year on
20 the annual statement filed by the company with the Illinois
21 Director of Insurance in the form approved by the National
22 Convention of Insurance Commissioners or such other form as
23 may be prescribed in lieu thereof.
24 (2) Reinsurance. If the principal source of premiums
25 written by an insurance company consists of premiums for
26 reinsurance accepted by it, the business income of such

HB5561- 407 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 company shall be apportioned to this State by multiplying
2 such income by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
3 sum of (i) direct premiums written for insurance upon
4 property or risk in this State, plus (ii) premiums written
5 for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk in
6 this State, and the denominator of which is the sum of
7 (iii) direct premiums written for insurance upon property
8 or risk everywhere, plus (iv) premiums written for
9 reinsurance accepted in respect of property or risk
10 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, premiums
11 written for reinsurance accepted in respect of property or
12 risk in this State, whether or not otherwise determinable,
13 may, at the election of the company, be determined on the
14 basis of the proportion which premiums written for
15 reinsurance accepted from companies commercially domiciled
16 in Illinois bears to premiums written for reinsurance
17 accepted from all sources, or, alternatively, in the
18 proportion which the sum of the direct premiums written for
19 insurance upon property or risk in this State by each
20 ceding company from which reinsurance is accepted bears to
21 the sum of the total direct premiums written by each such
22 ceding company for the taxable year. The election made by a
23 company under this paragraph for its first taxable year
24 ending on or after December 31, 2011, shall be binding for
25 that company for that taxable year and for all subsequent
26 taxable years, and may be altered only with the written

HB5561- 408 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 permission of the Department, which shall not be
2 unreasonably withheld.
3 (c) Financial organizations.
4 (1) In general. For taxable years ending before
5 December 31, 2008, business income of a financial
6 organization shall be apportioned to this State by
7 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
8 which is its business income from sources within this
9 State, and the denominator of which is its business income
10 from all sources. For the purposes of this subsection, the
11 business income of a financial organization from sources
12 within this State is the sum of the amounts referred to in
13 subparagraphs (A) through (E) following, but excluding the
14 adjusted income of an international banking facility as
15 determined in paragraph (2):
16 (A) Fees, commissions or other compensation for
17 financial services rendered within this State;
18 (B) Gross profits from trading in stocks, bonds or
19 other securities managed within this State;
20 (C) Dividends, and interest from Illinois
21 customers, which are received within this State;
22 (D) Interest charged to customers at places of
23 business maintained within this State for carrying
24 debit balances of margin accounts, without deduction
25 of any costs incurred in carrying such accounts; and
26 (E) Any other gross income resulting from the

HB5561- 409 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 operation as a financial organization within this
2 State.
3 In computing the amounts referred to in paragraphs (A)
4 through (E) of this subsection, any amount received by a
5 member of an affiliated group (determined under Section
6 1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code but without reference
7 to whether any such corporation is an "includible
8 corporation" under Section 1504(b) of the Internal Revenue
9 Code) from another member of such group shall be included
10 only to the extent such amount exceeds expenses of the
11 recipient directly related thereto.
12 (2) International Banking Facility. For taxable years
13 ending before December 31, 2008:
14 (A) Adjusted Income. The adjusted income of an
15 international banking facility is its income reduced
16 by the amount of the floor amount.
17 (B) Floor Amount. The floor amount shall be the
18 amount, if any, determined by multiplying the income of
19 the international banking facility by a fraction, not
20 greater than one, which is determined as follows:
21 (i) The numerator shall be:
22 The average aggregate, determined on a
23 quarterly basis, of the financial organization's
24 loans to banks in foreign countries, to foreign
25 domiciled borrowers (except where secured
26 primarily by real estate) and to foreign

HB5561- 410 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 governments and other foreign official
2 institutions, as reported for its branches,
3 agencies and offices within the state on its
4 "Consolidated Report of Condition", Schedule A,
5 Lines 2.c., 5.b., and 7.a., which was filed with
6 the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
7 other regulatory authorities, for the year 1980,
8 minus
9 The average aggregate, determined on a
10 quarterly basis, of such loans (other than loans of
11 an international banking facility), as reported by
12 the financial institution for its branches,
13 agencies and offices within the state, on the
14 corresponding Schedule and lines of the
15 Consolidated Report of Condition for the current
16 taxable year, provided, however, that in no case
17 shall the amount determined in this clause (the
18 subtrahend) exceed the amount determined in the
19 preceding clause (the minuend); and
20 (ii) the denominator shall be the average
21 aggregate, determined on a quarterly basis, of the
22 international banking facility's loans to banks in
23 foreign countries, to foreign domiciled borrowers
24 (except where secured primarily by real estate)
25 and to foreign governments and other foreign
26 official institutions, which were recorded in its

HB5561- 411 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 financial accounts for the current taxable year.
2 (C) Change to Consolidated Report of Condition and
3 in Qualification. In the event the Consolidated Report
4 of Condition which is filed with the Federal Deposit
5 Insurance Corporation and other regulatory authorities
6 is altered so that the information required for
7 determining the floor amount is not found on Schedule
8 A, lines 2.c., 5.b. and 7.a., the financial institution
9 shall notify the Department and the Department may, by
10 regulations or otherwise, prescribe or authorize the
11 use of an alternative source for such information. The
12 financial institution shall also notify the Department
13 should its international banking facility fail to
14 qualify as such, in whole or in part, or should there
15 be any amendment or change to the Consolidated Report
16 of Condition, as originally filed, to the extent such
17 amendment or change alters the information used in
18 determining the floor amount.
19 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, the business income of a financial organization shall
21 be apportioned to this State by multiplying such income by
22 a fraction, the numerator of which is its gross receipts
23 from sources in this State or otherwise attributable to
24 this State's marketplace and the denominator of which is
25 its gross receipts everywhere during the taxable year.
26 "Gross receipts" for purposes of this subparagraph (3)

HB5561- 412 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 means gross income, including net taxable gain on
2 disposition of assets, including securities and money
3 market instruments, when derived from transactions and
4 activities in the regular course of the financial
5 organization's trade or business. The following examples
6 are illustrative:

1 (viii) Receipts from investment assets and
2 activities and trading assets and activities are
3 included in the receipts factor as follows:
4 (1) Interest, dividends, net gains (but not
5 less than zero) and other income from investment
6 assets and activities from trading assets and

16 respect to the investment and trading assets and
17 activities described in subparagraphs (A) and (B)
18 of this paragraph, the receipts factor shall
19 include the amounts described in such
20 subparagraphs.
21 (A) The receipts factor shall include the
22 amount by which interest from federal funds
23 sold and securities purchased under resale
24 agreements exceeds interest expense on federal
25 funds purchased and securities sold under
26 repurchase agreements.

HB5561- 415 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 (B) The receipts factor shall include the
2 amount by which interest, dividends, gains and
3 other income from trading assets and
4 activities, including, but not limited to,
5 assets and activities in the matched book, in
6 the arbitrage book, and foreign currency
7 transactions, exceed amounts paid in lieu of
8 interest, amounts paid in lieu of dividends,

10 (2) The numerator of the receipts factor
11 includes interest, dividends, net gains (but not
12 less than zero), and other income from investment
13 assets and activities and from trading assets and
14 activities described in paragraph (1) of this
15 subsection that are attributable to this State.
16 (A) The amount of interest, dividends, net
17 gains (but not less than zero), and other
18 income from investment assets and activities
19 in the investment account to be attributed to
20 this State and included in the numerator is
21 determined by multiplying all such income from
22 such assets and activities by a fraction, the
23 numerator of which is the gross income from
24 such assets and activities which are properly
25 assigned to a fixed place of business of the
26 taxpayer within this State and the denominator

HB5561- 416 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 of which is the gross income from all such
2 assets and activities.
3 (B) The amount of interest from federal
4 funds sold and purchased and from securities
5 purchased under resale agreements and
6 securities sold under repurchase agreements
7 attributable to this State and included in the
8 numerator is determined by multiplying the
9 amount described in subparagraph (A) of
10 paragraph (1) of this subsection from such
11 funds and such securities by a fraction, the
12 numerator of which is the gross income from
13 such funds and such securities which are
14 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
15 of the taxpayer within this State and the
16 denominator of which is the gross income from
17 all such funds and such securities.
18 (C) The amount of interest, dividends,
19 gains, and other income from trading assets and
20 activities, including, but not limited to,
21 assets and activities in the matched book, in
22 the arbitrage book and foreign currency
23 transactions (but excluding amounts described
24 in subparagraphs (A) or (B) of this paragraph),
25 attributable to this State and included in the
26 numerator is determined by multiplying the

HB5561- 417 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 amount described in subparagraph (B) of
2 paragraph (1) of this subsection by a fraction,
3 the numerator of which is the gross income from
4 such trading assets and activities which are
5 properly assigned to a fixed place of business
6 of the taxpayer within this State and the
7 denominator of which is the gross income from
8 all such assets and activities.
9 (D) Properly assigned, for purposes of
10 this paragraph (2) of this subsection, means
11 the investment or trading asset or activity is
12 assigned to the fixed place of business with
13 which it has a preponderance of substantive
14 contacts. An investment or trading asset or
15 activity assigned by the taxpayer to a fixed
16 place of business without the State shall be
17 presumed to have been properly assigned if:
18 (i) the taxpayer has assigned, in the
19 regular course of its business, such asset
20 or activity on its records to a fixed place
21 of business consistent with federal or
22 state regulatory requirements;
23 (ii) such assignment on its records is
24 based upon substantive contacts of the
25 asset or activity to such fixed place of
26 business; and

HB5561- 418 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 (iii) the taxpayer uses such records
2 reflecting assignment of such assets or
3 activities for the filing of all state and
4 local tax returns for which an assignment
5 of such assets or activities to a fixed
6 place of business is required.
7 (E) The presumption of proper assignment
8 of an investment or trading asset or activity
9 provided in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2)
10 of this subsection may be rebutted upon a
11 showing by the Department, supported by a
12 preponderance of the evidence, that the
13 preponderance of substantive contacts
14 regarding such asset or activity did not occur
15 at the fixed place of business to which it was
16 assigned on the taxpayer's records. If the
17 fixed place of business that has a
18 preponderance of substantive contacts cannot
19 be determined for an investment or trading
20 asset or activity to which the presumption in
21 subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) of this
22 subsection does not apply or with respect to
23 which that presumption has been rebutted, that
24 asset or activity is properly assigned to the
25 state in which the taxpayer's commercial
26 domicile is located. For purposes of this

HB5561- 419 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 subparagraph (E), it shall be presumed,
2 subject to rebuttal, that taxpayer's
3 commercial domicile is in the state of the
4 United States or the District of Columbia to
5 which the greatest number of employees are
6 regularly connected with the management of the
7 investment or trading income or out of which
8 they are working, irrespective of where the
9 services of such employees are performed, as of
10 the last day of the taxable year.

12 (5) (Blank).
13 (c-1) Federally regulated exchanges. For taxable years
14ending on or after December 31, 2012, business income of a
15federally regulated exchange shall, at the option of the
16federally regulated exchange, be apportioned to this State by
17multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of which
18is its business income from sources within this State, and the
19denominator of which is its business income from all sources.
20For purposes of this subsection, the business income within
21this State of a federally regulated exchange is the sum of the
22following:
23 (1) Receipts attributable to transactions executed on
24 a physical trading floor if that physical trading floor is
25 located in this State.
26 (2) Receipts attributable to all other matching,

HB5561- 420 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 execution, or clearing transactions, including without
2 limitation receipts from the provision of matching,
3 execution, or clearing services to another entity,
4 multiplied by (i) for taxable years ending on or after
5 December 31, 2012 but before December 31, 2013, 63.77%; and
6 (ii) for taxable years ending on or after December 31,
7 2013, 27.54%.
8 (3) All other receipts not governed by subparagraphs
9 (1) or (2) of this subsection (c-1), to the extent the
10 receipts would be characterized as "sales in this State"
11 under item (3) of subsection (a) of this Section.
12 "Federally regulated exchange" means (i) a "registered
13entity" within the meaning of 7 U.S.C. Section 1a(40)(A), (B),
14or (C), (ii) an "exchange" or "clearing agency" within the
15meaning of 15 U.S.C. Section 78c (a)(1) or (23), (iii) any such
16entities regulated under any successor regulatory structure to
17the foregoing, and (iv) all taxpayers who are members of the
18same unitary business group as a federally regulated exchange,
19determined without regard to the prohibition in Section
201501(a)(27) of this Act against including in a unitary business
21group taxpayers who are ordinarily required to apportion
22business income under different subsections of this Section;
23provided that this subparagraph (iv) shall apply only if 50% or
24more of the business receipts of the unitary business group
25determined by application of this subparagraph (iv) for the
26taxable year are attributable to the matching, execution, or

HB5561- 421 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1clearing of transactions conducted by an entity described in
2subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) of this paragraph.
3 In no event shall the Illinois apportionment percentage
4computed in accordance with this subsection (c-1) for any
5taxpayer for any tax year be less than the Illinois
6apportionment percentage computed under this subsection (c-1)
7for that taxpayer for the first full tax year ending on or
8after December 31, 2013 for which this subsection (c-1) applied
9to the taxpayer.
10 (d) Transportation services. For taxable years ending
11before December 31, 2008, business income derived from
12furnishing transportation services shall be apportioned to
13this State in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2):
14 (1) Such business income (other than that derived from
15 transportation by pipeline) shall be apportioned to this
16 State by multiplying such income by a fraction, the
17 numerator of which is the revenue miles of the person in
18 this State, and the denominator of which is the revenue
19 miles of the person everywhere. For purposes of this
20 paragraph, a revenue mile is the transportation of 1
21 passenger or 1 net ton of freight the distance of 1 mile
22 for a consideration. Where a person is engaged in the
23 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
24 fraction above referred to shall be determined by means of
25 an average of the passenger revenue mile fraction and the
26 freight revenue mile fraction, weighted to reflect the

HB5561- 422 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 person's
2 (A) relative railway operating income from total
3 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
4 Interstate Commerce Commission, in the case of
5 transportation by railroad, and
6 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
7 freight transportation, in case of transportation
8 other than by railroad.
9 (2) Such business income derived from transportation
10 by pipeline shall be apportioned to this State by
11 multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of
12 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
13 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
14 everywhere. For the purposes of this paragraph, a revenue
15 mile is the transportation by pipeline of 1 barrel of oil,
16 1,000 cubic feet of gas, or of any specified quantity of
17 any other substance, the distance of 1 mile for a
18 consideration.
19 (3) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
20 2008, business income derived from providing
21 transportation services other than airline services shall
22 be apportioned to this State by using a fraction, (a) the
23 numerator of which shall be (i) all receipts from any
24 movement or shipment of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or
25 any other substance (other than by airline) that both
26 originates and terminates in this State, plus (ii) that

HB5561- 423 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 portion of the person's gross receipts from movements or
2 shipments of people, goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other
3 substance (other than by airline) that originates in one
4 state or jurisdiction and terminates in another state or
5 jurisdiction, that is determined by the ratio that the
6 miles traveled in this State bears to total miles
7 everywhere and (b) the denominator of which shall be all
8 revenue derived from the movement or shipment of people,
9 goods, mail, oil, gas, or any other substance (other than
10 by airline). Where a taxpayer is engaged in the
11 transportation of both passengers and freight, the
12 fraction above referred to shall first be determined
13 separately for passenger miles and freight miles. Then an
14 average of the passenger miles fraction and the freight
15 miles fraction shall be weighted to reflect the taxpayer's:
16 (A) relative railway operating income from total
17 passenger and total freight service, as reported to the
18 Surface Transportation Board, in the case of
19 transportation by railroad; and
20 (B) relative gross receipts from passenger and
21 freight transportation, in case of transportation
22 other than by railroad.
23 (4) For taxable years ending on or after December 31,
24 2008, business income derived from furnishing airline
25 transportation services shall be apportioned to this State
26 by multiplying such income by a fraction, the numerator of

HB5561- 424 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 which is the revenue miles of the person in this State, and
2 the denominator of which is the revenue miles of the person
3 everywhere. For purposes of this paragraph, a revenue mile
4 is the transportation of one passenger or one net ton of
5 freight the distance of one mile for a consideration. If a
6 person is engaged in the transportation of both passengers
7 and freight, the fraction above referred to shall be
8 determined by means of an average of the passenger revenue
9 mile fraction and the freight revenue mile fraction,
10 weighted to reflect the person's relative gross receipts
11 from passenger and freight airline transportation.
12 (e) Combined apportionment. Where 2 or more persons are
13engaged in a unitary business as described in subsection
14(a)(27) of Section 1501, a part of which is conducted in this
15State by one or more members of the group, the business income
16attributable to this State by any such member or members shall
17be apportioned by means of the combined apportionment method.
18 (f) Alternative allocation. If the allocation and
19apportionment provisions of subsections (a) through (e) and of
20subsection (h) do not, for taxable years ending before December
2131, 2008, fairly represent the extent of a person's business
22activity in this State, or, for taxable years ending on or
23after December 31, 2008, fairly represent the market for the
24person's goods, services, or other sources of business income,
25the person may petition for, or the Director may, without a
26petition, permit or require, in respect of all or any part of

HB5561- 425 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1the person's business activity, if reasonable:
2 (1) Separate accounting;
3 (2) The exclusion of any one or more factors;
4 (3) The inclusion of one or more additional factors
5 which will fairly represent the person's business
6 activities or market in this State; or
7 (4) The employment of any other method to effectuate an
8 equitable allocation and apportionment of the person's
9 business income.
10 (g) Cross reference. For allocation of business income by
11residents, see Section 301(a).
12 (h) For tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998, the
13apportionment factor of persons who apportion their business
14income to this State under subsection (a) shall be equal to:
15 (1) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1998
16 and before December 31, 1999, 16 2/3% of the property
17 factor plus 16 2/3% of the payroll factor plus 66 2/3% of
18 the sales factor;
19 (2) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 1999
20 and before December 31, 2000, 8 1/3% of the property factor
21 plus 8 1/3% of the payroll factor plus 83 1/3% of the sales
22 factor;
23 (3) for tax years ending on or after December 31, 2000,
24 the sales factor.
25If, in any tax year ending on or after December 31, 1998 and
26before December 31, 2000, the denominator of the payroll,

HB5561- 426 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1property, or sales factor is zero, the apportionment factor
2computed in paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection for that
3year shall be divided by an amount equal to 100% minus the
4percentage weight given to each factor whose denominator is
5equal to zero.

24 Notwithstanding Section 7.7 of the Illinois Gambling Act or

26each calendar year for which an organization gaming licensee

HB5561- 456 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1located in Madison County requests racing dates resulting in
2less than 700 live thoroughbred races at its racetrack
3facility, the organization gaming licensee may not conduct
4gaming pursuant to an organization gaming license issued under
5the Illinois Gambling Act for the calendar year of such
6requested live races.
7 (e-4) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.7 of the
8Illinois Gambling Act or any provision of this Act other than
9subsections (e-3) and (e-4.5), for each calendar year for which
10an organization gaming licensee requests thoroughbred racing
11dates which results in a number of live races under its
12organization license that is less than the total number of live
13races which it conducted in 2017 at its racetrack facility, the
14organization gaming licensee may not conduct gaming pursuant to
15its organization gaming license for the calendar year of such
16requested live races.
17 (e-4.1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.7 of
18the Illinois Gambling Act or any provision of this Act other
19than subsections (e-3) and (e-4.5), for each calendar year for
20which an organization licensee requests racing dates for

22that is less than the total number of live races required in

26 (e-4.5) The Board shall award the minimum live racing

HB5561- 457 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1guarantees contained in subsections (e-1), (e-2), and (e-3) to
2ensure that each organization licensee shall individually run a
3sufficient number of races per year to qualify for an
4organization gaming license under this Act. The General
5Assembly finds that the minimum live racing guarantees
6contained in subsections (e-1), (e-2), and (e-3) are in the
7best interest of the sport of horse racing, and that such
8guarantees may only be reduced in the calendar year in which
9they will be conducted in the limited circumstances described
10in this subsection. The Board may decrease the number of racing
11days without affecting an organization licensee's ability to
12conduct gaming pursuant to an organization gaming license
13issued under the Illinois Gambling Act only if the Board

15 (i) a decrease is necessary to maintain a sufficient
16 number of betting interests per race to ensure the
17 integrity of racing;
18 (ii) there are unsafe track conditions due to weather
19 or acts of God;
20 (iii) there is an agreement between an organization
21 licensee and the breed association that is applicable to
22 the involved live racing guarantee, such association
23 representing either the largest number of thoroughbred
24 owners and trainers or the largest number of standardbred
25 owners, trainers and drivers who race horses at the
26 involved organization licensee's racing meeting, so long

HB5561- 458 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 as the agreement does not compromise the integrity of the
2 sport of horse racing; or
3 (iv) the horse population or purse levels are
4 insufficient to provide the number of racing opportunities
5 otherwise required in this Act.
6 In decreasing the number of racing dates in accordance with
7this subsection, the Board shall hold a hearing and shall
8provide the public and all interested parties notice and an
9opportunity to be heard. The Board shall accept testimony from
10all interested parties, including any association representing
11owners, trainers, jockeys, or drivers who will be affected by
12the decrease in racing dates. The Board shall provide a written
13explanation of the reasons for the decrease and the Board's
14findings. The written explanation shall include a listing and
15content of all communication between any party and any Illinois
16Racing Board member or staff that does not take place at a
17public meeting of the Board.
18 (e-5) In reviewing an application for the purpose of
19granting an organization license consistent with the best
20interests of the public and the sport of horse racing, the
21Board shall consider:
22 (1) the character, reputation, experience, and
23 financial integrity of the applicant and of any other

5 for conducting horse racing;
6 (3) the total revenue without regard to Section 32.1 to
7 be derived by the State and horsemen from the applicant's

9 (4) the applicant's good faith affirmative action plan
10 to recruit, train, and upgrade minorities in all employment
11 classifications;
12 (5) the applicant's financial ability to purchase and
13 maintain adequate liability and casualty insurance;
14 (6) the applicant's proposed and prior year's
15 promotional and marketing activities and expenditures of
16 the applicant associated with those activities;
17 (7) an agreement, if any, among organization licensees
18 as provided in subsection (b) of Section 21 of this Act;
19 and
20 (8) the extent to which the applicant exceeds or meets
21 other standards for the issuance of an organization license
22 that the Board shall adopt by rule.
23 In granting organization licenses and allocating dates for
24horse race meetings, the Board shall have discretion to
25determine an overall schedule, including required simulcasts
26of Illinois races by host tracks that will, in its judgment, be

HB5561- 460 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1conducive to the best interests of the public and the sport of
2horse racing.
3 (e-10) The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act shall
4apply to administrative procedures of the Board under this Act
5for the granting of an organization license, except that (1)
6notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b) of Section
710-40 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act regarding
8cross-examination, the Board may prescribe rules limiting the
9right of an applicant or participant in any proceeding to award
10an organization license to conduct cross-examination of
11witnesses at that proceeding where that cross-examination
12would unduly obstruct the timely award of an organization
13license under subsection (e) of Section 20 of this Act; (2) the
14provisions of Section 10-45 of the Illinois Administrative
15Procedure Act regarding proposals for decision are excluded
16under this Act; (3) notwithstanding the provisions of

18Procedure Act regarding ex parte communications, the Board may
19prescribe rules allowing ex parte communications with
20applicants or participants in a proceeding to award an
21organization license where conducting those communications
22would be in the best interest of racing, provided all those
23communications are made part of the record of that proceeding
24pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 10-60 of the Illinois
25Administrative Procedure Act; (4) the provisions of Section 14a
26of this Act and the rules of the Board promulgated under that

HB5561- 461 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1Section shall apply instead of the provisions of Article 10 of
2the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act regarding
3administrative law judges; and (5) the provisions of subsection
4(d) of Section 10-65 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure
5Act that prevent summary suspension of a license pending
6revocation or other action shall not apply.
7 (f) The Board may allot racing dates to an organization
8licensee for more than one calendar year but for no more than 3
9successive calendar years in advance, provided that the Board
10shall review such allotment for more than one calendar year
11prior to each year for which such allotment has been made. The
12granting of an organization license to a person constitutes a
13privilege to conduct a horse race meeting under the provisions
14of this Act, and no person granted an organization license
15shall be deemed to have a vested interest, property right, or
16future expectation to receive an organization license in any
17subsequent year as a result of the granting of an organization
18license. Organization licenses shall be subject to revocation
19if the organization licensee has violated any provision of this
20Act or the rules and regulations promulgated under this Act or
21has been convicted of a crime or has failed to disclose or has
22stated falsely any information called for in the application
23for an organization license. Any organization license
24revocation proceeding shall be in accordance with Section 16
25regarding suspension and revocation of occupation licenses.
26 (f-5) If, (i) an applicant does not file an acceptance of

HB5561- 462 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1the racing dates awarded by the Board as required under part
2(1) of subsection (h) of this Section 20, or (ii) an
3organization licensee has its license suspended or revoked
4under this Act, the Board, upon conducting an emergency hearing
5as provided for in this Act, may reaward on an emergency basis
6pursuant to rules established by the Board, racing dates not
7accepted or the racing dates associated with any suspension or
8revocation period to one or more organization licensees, new
9applicants, or any combination thereof, upon terms and
10conditions that the Board determines are in the best interest

10as it shall prescribe, the sum of fifteen cents (15¢) for each
11person entering the grounds or enclosure of each organization
12licensee and inter-track wagering licensee upon a ticket of
13admission except as provided in subsection (g) of Section 27 of
14this Act. If tickets are issued for more than one day then the
15sum of fifteen cents (15¢) shall be paid for each person using
16such ticket on each day that the same shall be used. Provided,
17however, that no charge shall be made on tickets of admission
18issued to and in the name of directors, officers, agents or
19employees of the organization licensee, or inter-track
20wagering licensee, or to owners, trainers, jockeys, drivers and
21their employees or to any person or persons entering the
22grounds or enclosure for the transaction of business in
23connection with such race meeting. The organization licensee or

25amount from each ticket holder in addition to the amount or

HB5561- 469 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1amounts charged for such ticket of admission. Beginning on the
2date when any organization licensee begins conducting gaming
3pursuant to an organization gaming license issued under the
4Illinois Gambling Act, the admission charge imposed by this
5subsection (a) shall be 40 cents for each person entering the
6grounds or enclosure of each organization licensee and
7inter-track wagering licensee upon a ticket of admission, and
8if such tickets are issued for more than one day, 40 cents
9shall be paid for each person using such ticket on each day
10that the same shall be used.
11 (b) Accurate records and books shall at all times be kept
12and maintained by the organization licensees and inter-track
13wagering licensees showing the admission tickets issued and
14used on each racing day and the attendance thereat of each
15horse racing meeting. The Board or its duly authorized
16representative or representatives shall at all reasonable
17times have access to the admission records of any organization
18licensee and inter-track wagering licensee for the purpose of
19examining and checking the same and ascertaining whether or not
20the proper amount has been or is being paid the State of
21Illinois as herein provided. The Board shall also require,
22before issuing any license, that the licensee shall execute and
23deliver to it a bond, payable to the State of Illinois, in such
24sum as it shall determine, not, however, in excess of fifty
25thousand dollars ($50,000), with a surety or sureties to be
26approved by it, conditioned for the payment of all sums due and

HB5561- 470 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1payable or collected by it under this Section upon admission
2fees received for any particular racing meetings. The Board may
3also from time to time require sworn statements of the number
4or numbers of such admissions and may prescribe blanks upon
5which such reports shall be made. Any organization licensee or
6inter-track wagering licensee failing or refusing to pay the
7amount found to be due as herein provided, shall be deemed
8guilty of a business offense and upon conviction shall be
9punished by a fine of not more than five thousand dollars
10($5,000) in addition to the amount due from such organization
11licensee or inter-track wagering licensee as herein provided.
12All fines paid into court by an organization licensee or
13inter-track wagering licensee found guilty of violating this
14Section shall be transmitted and paid over by the clerk of the
15court to the Board. Beginning on the date when any organization
16licensee begins conducting gaming pursuant to an organization
17gaming license issued under the Illinois Gambling Act, any fine
18imposed pursuant to this subsection (b) shall not exceed
19$10,000.

21 (230 ILCS 5/26) (from Ch. 8, par. 37-26)
22 Sec. 26. Wagering.
23 (a) Any licensee may conduct and supervise the pari-mutuel
24system of wagering, as defined in Section 3.12 of this Act, on
25horse races conducted by an Illinois organization licensee or

HB5561- 471 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1conducted at a racetrack located in another state or country
2and televised in Illinois in accordance with subsection (g) of
3Section 26 of this Act. Subject to the prior consent of the
4Board, licensees may supplement any pari-mutuel pool in order
5to guarantee a minimum distribution. Such pari-mutuel method of
6wagering shall not, under any circumstances if conducted under
7the provisions of this Act, be held or construed to be
8unlawful, other statutes of this State to the contrary
9notwithstanding. Subject to rules for advance wagering
10promulgated by the Board, any licensee may accept wagers in
11advance of the day of the race wagered upon occurs.
12 (b) No Except for those gaming activities for which a
13license is obtained and authorized under the Illinois Lottery
14Law, the Charitable Games Act, the Raffles and Poker Runs Act,
15or the Illinois Gambling Act, no other method of betting, pool
16making, wagering or gambling shall be used or permitted by the
17licensee. Each licensee may retain, subject to the payment of
18all applicable taxes and purses, an amount not to exceed 17% of
19all money wagered under subsection (a) of this Section, except
20as may otherwise be permitted under this Act.
21 (b-5) An individual may place a wager under the pari-mutuel
22system from any licensed location authorized under this Act
23provided that wager is electronically recorded in the manner
24described in Section 3.12 of this Act. Any wager made
25electronically by an individual while physically on the
26premises of a licensee shall be deemed to have been made at the

HB5561- 472 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1premises of that licensee.
2 (c) Until January 1, 2000, the sum held by any licensee for
3payment of outstanding pari-mutuel tickets, if unclaimed prior
4to December 31 of the next year, shall be retained by the
5licensee for payment of such tickets until that date. Within 10
6days thereafter, the balance of such sum remaining unclaimed,
7less any uncashed supplements contributed by such licensee for
8the purpose of guaranteeing minimum distributions of any
9pari-mutuel pool, shall be paid to the Illinois Veterans'
10Rehabilitation Fund of the State treasury, except as provided
11in subsection (g) of Section 27 of this Act. (Blank).
12 (c-5) The Beginning January 1, 2000, the sum held by any
13licensee for payment of outstanding pari-mutuel tickets, if
14unclaimed prior to December 31 of the next year, shall be
15retained by the licensee for payment of such tickets until that
16date. Within 10 days thereafter, the balance of such sum
17remaining unclaimed, less any uncashed supplements contributed
18by such licensee for the purpose of guaranteeing minimum
19distributions of any pari-mutuel pool, shall be evenly
20distributed to the purse account of the organization licensee
21and the organization licensee, except that the balance of the
22sum of all outstanding pari-mutuel tickets generated from
23simulcast wagering and inter-track wagering by an organization
24licensee located in a county with a population in excess of
25230,000 and borders the Mississippi River or any licensee that
26derives its license from that organization licensee shall be

HB5561- 473 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1evenly distributed to the purse account of the organization
2licensee and the organization licensee.
3 (d) A pari-mutuel ticket shall be honored until December 31
4of the next calendar year, and the licensee shall pay the same
5and may charge the amount thereof against unpaid money
6similarly accumulated on account of pari-mutuel tickets not
7presented for payment.
8 (e) No licensee shall knowingly permit any minor, other
9than an employee of such licensee or an owner, trainer, jockey,
10driver, or employee thereof, to be admitted during a racing
11program unless accompanied by a parent or guardian, or any
12minor to be a patron of the pari-mutuel system of wagering
13conducted or supervised by it. The admission of any
14unaccompanied minor, other than an employee of the licensee or
15an owner, trainer, jockey, driver, or employee thereof at a
16race track is a Class C misdemeanor.
17 (f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Act, an
18organization licensee may contract with an entity in another
19state or country to permit any legal wagering entity in another
20state or country to accept wagers solely within such other
21state or country on races conducted by the organization
22licensee in this State. Beginning January 1, 2000, these wagers
23shall not be subject to State taxation. Until January 1, 2000,
24when the out-of-State entity conducts a pari-mutuel pool
25separate from the organization licensee, a privilege tax equal
26to 7 1/2% of all monies received by the organization licensee

HB5561- 474 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1from entities in other states or countries pursuant to such
2contracts is imposed on the organization licensee, and such
3privilege tax shall be remitted to the Department of Revenue
4within 48 hours of receipt of the moneys from the simulcast.
5When the out-of-State entity conducts a combined pari-mutuel
6pool with the organization licensee, the tax shall be 10% of
7all monies received by the organization licensee with 25% of
8the receipts from this 10% tax to be distributed to the county
9in which the race was conducted.
10 An organization licensee may permit one or more of its
11races to be utilized for pari-mutuel wagering at one or more
12locations in other states and may transmit audio and visual
13signals of races the organization licensee conducts to one or
14more locations outside the State or country and may also permit
15pari-mutuel pools in other states or countries to be combined
16with its gross or net wagering pools or with wagering pools
17established by other states.
18 (g) A host track may accept interstate simulcast wagers on
19horse races conducted in other states or countries and shall
20control the number of signals and types of breeds of racing in
21its simulcast program, subject to the disapproval of the Board.
22The Board may prohibit a simulcast program only if it finds
23that the simulcast program is clearly adverse to the integrity
24of racing. The host track simulcast program shall include the
25signal of live racing of all organization licensees. All
26non-host licensees and advance deposit wagering licensees

HB5561- 475 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1shall carry the signal of and accept wagers on live racing of
2all organization licensees. Advance deposit wagering licensees
3shall not be permitted to accept out-of-state wagers on any
4Illinois signal provided pursuant to this Section without the
5approval and consent of the organization licensee providing the
6signal. For one year after August 15, 2014 (the effective date
7of Public Act 98-968), non-host licensees may carry the host
8track simulcast program and shall accept wagers on all races
9included as part of the simulcast program of horse races
10conducted at race tracks located within North America upon
11which wagering is permitted. For a period of one year after
12August 15, 2014 (the effective date of Public Act 98-968), on
13horse races conducted at race tracks located outside of North
14America, non-host licensees may accept wagers on all races
15included as part of the simulcast program upon which wagering
16is permitted. Beginning August 15, 2015 (one year after the
17effective date of Public Act 98-968), non-host licensees may
18carry the host track simulcast program and shall accept wagers
19on all races included as part of the simulcast program upon
20which wagering is permitted. All organization licensees shall
21provide their live signal to all advance deposit wagering
22licensees for a simulcast commission fee not to exceed 6% of
23the advance deposit wagering licensee's Illinois handle on the
24organization licensee's signal without prior approval by the
25Board. The Board may adopt rules under which it may permit
26simulcast commission fees in excess of 6%. The Board shall

HB5561- 476 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1adopt rules limiting the interstate commission fees charged to
2an advance deposit wagering licensee. The Board shall adopt
3rules regarding advance deposit wagering on interstate
4simulcast races that shall reflect, among other things, the
5General Assembly's desire to maximize revenues to the State,
6horsemen purses, and organization licensees. However,
7organization licensees providing live signals pursuant to the
8requirements of this subsection (g) may petition the Board to
9withhold their live signals from an advance deposit wagering
10licensee if the organization licensee discovers and the Board
11finds reputable or credible information that the advance
12deposit wagering licensee is under investigation by another
13state or federal governmental agency, the advance deposit
14wagering licensee's license has been suspended in another
15state, or the advance deposit wagering licensee's license is in
16revocation proceedings in another state. The organization
17licensee's provision of their live signal to an advance deposit
18wagering licensee under this subsection (g) pertains to wagers
19placed from within Illinois. Advance deposit wagering
20licensees may place advance deposit wagering terminals at
21wagering facilities as a convenience to customers. The advance
22deposit wagering licensee shall not charge or collect any fee
23from purses for the placement of the advance deposit wagering
24terminals. The costs and expenses of the host track and
25non-host licensees associated with interstate simulcast
26wagering, other than the interstate commission fee, shall be

HB5561- 477 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1borne by the host track and all non-host licensees incurring
2these costs. The interstate commission fee shall not exceed 5%
3of Illinois handle on the interstate simulcast race or races
4without prior approval of the Board. The Board shall promulgate
5rules under which it may permit interstate commission fees in
6excess of 5%. The interstate commission fee and other fees
7charged by the sending racetrack, including, but not limited
8to, satellite decoder fees, shall be uniformly applied to the
9host track and all non-host licensees.
10 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, through
11December 31, 2020, an organization licensee, with the consent
12of the horsemen association representing the largest number of
13owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
14horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting, may
15maintain a system whereby advance deposit wagering may take
16place or an organization licensee, with the consent of the
17horsemen association representing the largest number of
18owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
19horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting, may
20contract with another person to carry out a system of advance
21deposit wagering. Such consent may not be unreasonably
22withheld. Only with respect to an appeal to the Board that
23consent for an organization licensee that maintains its own
24advance deposit wagering system is being unreasonably
25withheld, the Board shall issue a final order within 30 days
26after initiation of the appeal, and the organization licensee's

HB5561- 478 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1advance deposit wagering system may remain operational during
2that 30-day period. The actions of any organization licensee
3who conducts advance deposit wagering or any person who has a
4contract with an organization licensee to conduct advance
5deposit wagering who conducts advance deposit wagering on or
6after January 1, 2013 and prior to June 7, 2013 (the effective
7date of Public Act 98-18) taken in reliance on the changes made
8to this subsection (g) by Public Act 98-18 are hereby
9validated, provided payment of all applicable pari-mutuel
10taxes are remitted to the Board. All advance deposit wagers
11placed from within Illinois must be placed through a
12Board-approved advance deposit wagering licensee; no other
13entity may accept an advance deposit wager from a person within
14Illinois. All advance deposit wagering is subject to any rules
15adopted by the Board. The Board may adopt rules necessary to
16regulate advance deposit wagering through the use of emergency
17rulemaking in accordance with Section 5-45 of the Illinois
18Administrative Procedure Act. The General Assembly finds that
19the adoption of rules to regulate advance deposit wagering is
20deemed an emergency and necessary for the public interest,
21safety, and welfare. An advance deposit wagering licensee may
22retain all moneys as agreed to by contract with an organization
23licensee. Any moneys retained by the organization licensee from
24advance deposit wagering, not including moneys retained by the
25advance deposit wagering licensee, shall be paid 50% to the
26organization licensee's purse account and 50% to the

HB5561- 479 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1organization licensee. With the exception of any organization
2licensee that is owned by a publicly traded company that is
3incorporated in a state other than Illinois and advance deposit
4wagering licensees under contract with such organization
5licensees, organization licensees that maintain advance
6deposit wagering systems and advance deposit wagering
7licensees that contract with organization licensees shall
8provide sufficiently detailed monthly accountings to the
9horsemen association representing the largest number of
10owners, trainers, jockeys, or standardbred drivers who race
11horses at that organization licensee's racing meeting so that
12the horsemen association, as an interested party, can confirm
13the accuracy of the amounts paid to the purse account at the
14horsemen association's affiliated organization licensee from
15advance deposit wagering. If more than one breed races at the
16same race track facility, then the 50% of the moneys to be paid
17to an organization licensee's purse account shall be allocated
18among all organization licensees' purse accounts operating at
19that race track facility proportionately based on the actual
20number of host days that the Board grants to that breed at that
21race track facility in the current calendar year. To the extent
22any fees from advance deposit wagering conducted in Illinois
23for wagers in Illinois or other states have been placed in
24escrow or otherwise withheld from wagers pending a
25determination of the legality of advance deposit wagering, no
26action shall be brought to declare such wagers or the

HB5561- 480 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1disbursement of any fees previously escrowed illegal.
2 (1) Between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. an
3 inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track may
4 supplement the host track simulcast program with
5 additional simulcast races or race programs, provided that
6 between January 1 and the third Friday in February of any
7 year, inclusive, if no live thoroughbred racing is
8 occurring in Illinois during this period, only
9 thoroughbred races may be used for supplemental interstate
10 simulcast purposes. The Board shall withhold approval for a
11 supplemental interstate simulcast only if it finds that the
12 simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of racing. A
13 supplemental interstate simulcast may be transmitted from
14 an inter-track wagering licensee to its affiliated
15 non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for a
16 supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by the
17 non-host licensee and its affiliated non-host licensees
18 receiving the simulcast.
19 (2) Between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. an
20 inter-track wagering licensee other than the host track may
21 receive supplemental interstate simulcasts only with the
22 consent of the host track, except when the Board finds that
23 the simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of
24 racing. Consent granted under this paragraph (2) to any
25 inter-track wagering licensee shall be deemed consent to
26 all non-host licensees. The interstate commission fee for

HB5561- 481 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 the supplemental interstate simulcast shall be paid by all
2 participating non-host licensees.
3 (3) Each licensee conducting interstate simulcast
4 wagering may retain, subject to the payment of all
5 applicable taxes and the purses, an amount not to exceed
6 17% of all money wagered. If any licensee conducts the
7 pari-mutuel system wagering on races conducted at
8 racetracks in another state or country, each such race or
9 race program shall be considered a separate racing day for
10 the purpose of determining the daily handle and computing
11 the privilege tax of that daily handle as provided in
12 subsection (a) of Section 27. Until January 1, 2000, from
13 the sums permitted to be retained pursuant to this
14 subsection, each inter-track wagering location licensee
15 shall pay 1% of the pari-mutuel handle wagered on simulcast
16 wagering to the Horse Racing Tax Allocation Fund, subject
17 to the provisions of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (11) of
18 subsection (h) of Section 26 of this Act.
19 (4) A licensee who receives an interstate simulcast may
20 combine its gross or net pools with pools at the sending
21 racetracks pursuant to rules established by the Board. All
22 licensees combining their gross pools at a sending
23 racetrack shall adopt the takeout percentages of the
24 sending racetrack. A licensee may also establish a separate
25 pool and takeout structure for wagering purposes on races
26 conducted at race tracks outside of the State of Illinois.

HB5561- 482 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 The licensee may permit pari-mutuel wagers placed in other
2 states or countries to be combined with its gross or net
3 wagering pools or other wagering pools.
4 (5) After the payment of the interstate commission fee
5 (except for the interstate commission fee on a supplemental
6 interstate simulcast, which shall be paid by the host track
7 and by each non-host licensee through the host track) and
8 all applicable State and local taxes, except as provided in
9 subsection (g) of Section 27 of this Act, the remainder of
10 moneys retained from simulcast wagering pursuant to this
11 subsection (g), and Section 26.2 shall be divided as
12 follows:
13 (A) For interstate simulcast wagers made at a host
14 track, 50% to the host track and 50% to purses at the
15 host track.
16 (B) For wagers placed on interstate simulcast
17 races, supplemental simulcasts as defined in
18 subparagraphs (1) and (2), and separately pooled races
19 conducted outside of the State of Illinois made at a
20 non-host licensee, 25% to the host track, 25% to the
21 non-host licensee, and 50% to the purses at the host
22 track.
23 (6) Notwithstanding any provision in this Act to the
24 contrary, non-host licensees who derive their licenses
25 from a track located in a county with a population in
26 excess of 230,000 and that borders the Mississippi River

HB5561- 483 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 may receive supplemental interstate simulcast races at all
2 times subject to Board approval, which shall be withheld
3 only upon a finding that a supplemental interstate
4 simulcast is clearly adverse to the integrity of racing.
5 (7) Effective January 1, 2017, notwithstanding any
6 provision of this Act to the contrary, after payment of all
7 applicable State and local taxes and interstate commission
8 fees, non-host licensees who derive their licenses from a
9 track located in a county with a population in excess of
10 230,000 and that borders the Mississippi River shall retain
11 50% of the retention from interstate simulcast wagers and
12 shall pay 50% to purses at the track from which the
13 non-host licensee derives its license.
14 (7.1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act
15 to the contrary, if no standardbred racing is conducted at
16 a racetrack located in Madison County during any calendar
17 year beginning on or after January 1, 2002, all moneys
18 derived by that racetrack from simulcast wagering and
19 inter-track wagering that (1) are to be used for purses and
20 (2) are generated between the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 6:30
21 a.m. during that calendar year shall be paid as follows:
22 (A) If the licensee that conducts horse racing at
23 that racetrack requests from the Board at least as many
24 racing dates as were conducted in calendar year 2000,
25 80% shall be paid to its thoroughbred purse account;
26 and

HB5561- 484 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 (B) Twenty percent shall be deposited into the
2 Illinois Colt Stakes Purse Distribution Fund and shall
3 be paid to purses for standardbred races for Illinois
4 conceived and foaled horses conducted at any county
5 fairgrounds. The moneys deposited into the Fund
6 pursuant to this subparagraph (B) shall be deposited
7 within 2 weeks after the day they were generated, shall

10 not be commingled with other moneys paid into that
11 Fund. The moneys deposited pursuant to this
12 subparagraph (B) shall be allocated as provided by the
13 Department of Agriculture, with the advice and
14 assistance of the Illinois Standardbred Breeders Fund
15 Advisory Board.
16 (7.2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act
17 to the contrary, if no thoroughbred racing is conducted at
18 a racetrack located in Madison County during any calendar
19 year beginning on or after January 1, 2002, all moneys

23 p.m. during that calendar year shall be deposited as
24 follows:
25 (A) If the licensee that conducts horse racing at
26 that racetrack requests from the Board at least as many

3 in the event that the total Illinois pari-mutuel handle on
4 Illinois horse races at all wagering facilities in any
5 calendar year is less than 75% of the total Illinois
6 pari-mutuel handle on Illinois horse races at all such
7 wagering facilities for calendar year 1994, then each
8 wagering facility that has an annual total Illinois
9 pari-mutuel handle on Illinois horse races that is less
10 than 75% of the total Illinois pari-mutuel handle on
11 Illinois horse races at such wagering facility for calendar
12 year 1994, shall be permitted to receive, from any amount
13 otherwise payable to the purse account at the race track

16 differential in total Illinois pari-mutuel handle on
17 Illinois horse races at the wagering facility between that
18 calendar year in question and 1994 provided, however, that
19 a wagering facility shall not be entitled to any such
20 payment until the Board certifies in writing to the
21 wagering facility the amount to which the wagering facility
22 is entitled and a schedule for payment of the amount to the
23 wagering facility, based on: (i) the racing dates awarded
24 to the race track affiliated with the wagering facility
25 during the succeeding year; (ii) the sums available or

2 during the succeeding year; and (iii) the need to ensure
3 reasonable purse levels during the payment period. The
4 Board's certification shall be provided no later than
5 January 31 of the succeeding year. In the event a wagering

7 affiliated with a race track that maintains purse accounts
8 for both standardbred and thoroughbred racing, the amount
9 to be paid to the wagering facility shall be divided
10 between each purse account pro rata, based on the amount of
11 Illinois handle on Illinois standardbred and thoroughbred
12 racing respectively at the wagering facility during the
13 previous calendar year. Annually, the General Assembly
14 shall appropriate sufficient funds from the General
15 Revenue Fund to the Department of Agriculture for payment
16 into the thoroughbred and standardbred horse racing purse
17 accounts at Illinois pari-mutuel tracks. The amount paid to
18 each purse account shall be the amount certified by the
19 Illinois Racing Board in January to be transferred from
20 each account to each eligible racing facility in accordance
21 with the provisions of this Section. Beginning in the
22 calendar year in which an organization licensee that is
23 eligible to receive payment under this paragraph (13)
24 begins to receive funds from gaming pursuant to an
25 organization gaming license issued under the Illinois
26 Gambling Act, the amount of the payment due to all wagering

HB5561- 489 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 facilities licensed under that organization licensee under
2 this paragraph (13) shall be the amount certified by the
3 Board in January of that year. An organization licensee and
4 its related wagering facilities shall no longer be able to

6 year subsequent to the first year in which the organization
7 licensee begins to receive funds from gaming pursuant to an

4registration. Every video gaming terminal offered for play
5shall first be tested and approved pursuant to the rules of the
6Board, and each video gaming terminal offered in this State for
7play shall conform to an approved model. For the examination of
8video gaming machines and associated equipment as required by
9this Section, the Board shall may utilize the services of one
10or more independent outside testing laboratories that have been
11accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 by an accreditation
12body that is a signatory to the International Laboratory
13Accreditation Cooperation Mutual Recognition Agreement
14signifying they are qualified to by a national accreditation
15body and that, in the judgment of the Board, are qualified to
16perform such examinations. Notwithstanding any law to the
17contrary, the Board shall consider the licensing of independent
18outside testing laboratory applicants in accordance with

14 than 80%. The Board shall establish a maximum payout
15 percentage for approved models by rule. Video gaming
16 terminals that may be affected by skill must meet this
17 standard when using a method of play that will provide the
18 greatest return to the player over a period of continuous
19 play.
20 (3) It must use a random selection process to determine
21 the outcome of each play of a game. The random selection
22 process must meet 99% confidence limits using a standard
23 chi-squared test for (randomness) goodness of fit.

12 available, bets placed, credits paid, and credits cashed
13 out) for the most recent game played and 10 games prior
14 thereto.
15 (9) The theoretical payback percentage of a video
16 gaming terminal must not be capable of being changed
17 without making a hardware or software change in the video
18 gaming terminal, either on site or via the central
19 communications system.

21 replacement of parts or modules required for normal
22 maintenance does not necessitate replacement of the
23 electromechanical meters.
24 (11) It must have nonresettable meters housed in a
25 locked area of the terminal that keep a permanent record of
26 all cash inserted into the machine, all winnings made by

1 Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (h), the
2Board may waive the requirement that a licensed establishment,
3licensed truck stop establishment, licensed large truck stop
4establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, or licensed
5veterans establishment not be located within 1,000 feet from a
6facility operated by an organization licensee licensed under
7the Illinois Horse Racing Act of 1975 or the home dock of a
8riverboat licensed under the Illinois Riverboat Gambling Act.
9The Board shall not grant such waiver if there is any common
10ownership or control, shared business activity, or contractual
11arrangement of any type between the establishment and the
12organization licensee or owners licensee of a riverboat. The
13Board shall adopt rules to implement the provisions of this
14paragraph.
15 (h-5) Restrictions on licenses in malls. The Board shall
16not grant an application to become a licensed video gaming
17location if the Board determines that granting the application
18would more likely than not cause a terminal operator,
19individually or in combination with other terminal operators,
20licensed video gaming location, or other person or entity, to
21operate the video gaming terminals in 2 or more licensed video
22gaming locations as a single video gaming operation.
23 (1) In making determinations under this subsection
24 (h-5), factors to be considered by the Board shall include,
25 but not be limited to, the following:
26 (A) the physical aspects of the location;

HB5561- 666 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 (B) the ownership, control, or management of the
2 location;
3 (C) any arrangements, understandings, or
4 agreements, written or otherwise, among or involving
5 any persons or entities that involve the conducting of
6 any video gaming business or the sharing of costs or
7 revenues; and
8 (D) the manner in which any terminal operator or
9 other related entity markets, advertises, or otherwise
10 describes any location or locations to any other person
11 or entity or to the public.
12 (2) The Board shall presume, subject to rebuttal, that
13 the granting of an application to become a licensed video
14 gaming location within a mall will cause a terminal
15 operator, individually or in combination with other
16 persons or entities, to operate the video gaming terminals
17 in 2 or more licensed video gaming locations as a single
18 video gaming operation if the Board determines that
19 granting the license would create a local concentration of
20 licensed video gaming locations.
21 For the purposes of this subsection (h-5):
22 "Mall" means a building, or adjoining or connected
23buildings, containing 4 or more separate locations.
24 "Video gaming operation" means the conducting of video
25gaming and all related activities.
26 "Location" means a space within a mall containing a

HB5561- 667 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b

2subject to a separate leasing arrangement by the mall owner.
3 "Licensed video gaming location" means a licensed
4establishment, licensed fraternal establishment, licensed
5veterans establishment, licensed truck stop establishment, or
6licensed large truck stop.
7 "Local concentration of licensed video gaming locations"
8means that the combined number of licensed video gaming
9locations within a mall exceed half of the separate locations
10within the mall.
11 (i) Undue economic concentration. In addition to
12considering all other requirements under this Act, in deciding
13whether to approve the operation of video gaming terminals by a
14terminal operator in a location, the Board shall consider the
15impact of any economic concentration of such operation of video
16gaming terminals. The Board shall not allow a terminal operator
17to operate video gaming terminals if the Board determines such
18operation will result in undue economic concentration. For
19purposes of this Section, "undue economic concentration" means
20that a terminal operator would have such actual or potential
21influence over video gaming terminals in Illinois as to:
22 (1) substantially impede or suppress competition among
23 terminal operators;
24 (2) adversely impact the economic stability of the
25 video gaming industry in Illinois; or
26 (3) negatively impact the purposes of the Video Gaming

HB5561- 668 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 Act.
2 The Board shall adopt rules concerning undue economic
3concentration with respect to the operation of video gaming
4terminals in Illinois. The rules shall include, but not be
5limited to, (i) limitations on the number of video gaming
6terminals operated by any terminal operator within a defined
7geographic radius and (ii) guidelines on the discontinuation of
8operation of any such video gaming terminals the Board

15of this State, each retailer required or authorized to collect
16the tax imposed by this Act shall pay to the Department the
17amount of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time
18when he is required to file his return for the period during
19which such tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to
20January 1, 1990, and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5
21per calendar year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to

21conditional sales contract, or under any other form of sale
22wherein the payment of the principal sum, or a part thereof, is
23extended beyond the close of the period for which the return is
24filed, the retailer, in collecting the tax (except as to motor
25vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
26to be registered with an agency of this State), may collect for

HB5561- 739 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1each tax return period, only the tax applicable to that part of
2the selling price actually received during such tax return
3period.
4 Except as provided in this Section, on or before the
5twentieth day of each calendar month, such retailer shall file
6a return for the preceding calendar month. Such return shall be
7filed on forms prescribed by the Department and shall furnish
8such information as the Department may reasonably require. On
9and after January 1, 2018, except for returns for motor
10vehicles, watercraft, aircraft, and trailers that are required
11to be registered with an agency of this State, with respect to
12retailers whose annual gross receipts average $20,000 or more,
13all returns required to be filed pursuant to this Act shall be
14filed electronically. Retailers who demonstrate that they do
15not have access to the Internet or demonstrate hardship in

19fuel tax return. The requirements related to the return shall
20be as otherwise provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any
21other provisions of this Act to the contrary, retailers

23sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
24other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
25by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
26The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the

HB5561- 742 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other

24 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
25tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Retailers'
26Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, the Service

HB5561- 743 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1Use Tax Act was $10,000 or more during the preceding 4 complete
2calendar quarters, he shall file a return with the Department
3each month by the 20th day of the month next following the
4month during which such tax liability is incurred and shall
5make payments to the Department on or before the 7th, 15th,
622nd and last day of the month during which such liability is
7incurred. On and after October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's
8average monthly tax liability to the Department under this Act,
9the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax
10Act, and the Service Use Tax Act was $20,000 or more during the
11preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
12with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
13next following the month during which such tax liability is
14incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
15the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
16liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
17liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
18payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
19actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
20Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
21of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
22calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
23the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
24month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
25after January 1, 1985, and prior to January 1, 1987, each
26payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's

HB5561- 744 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
2liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
3the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
4or after January 1, 1987, and prior to January 1, 1988, each
5payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
6actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
7liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
8the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
9or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
10begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
11amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
12the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
13calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
14such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
151989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
16amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
17the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
18calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
19actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
20amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
21against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
22that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
23requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
24Department shall continue until such taxpayer's average
25monthly liability to the Department during the preceding 4
26complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest

HB5561- 745 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1liability and the month of lowest liability) is less than
2$9,000, or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to
3the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the 4
4preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
5$10,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
6substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
7which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
8monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
9will fall below the $10,000 threshold stated above, then such
10taxpayer may petition the Department for change in such
11taxpayer's reporting status. On and after October 1, 2000, once
12applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter monthly
13payments to the Department shall continue until such taxpayer's
14average monthly liability to the Department during the
15preceding 4 complete calendar quarters (excluding the month of
16highest liability and the month of lowest liability) is less
17than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
18to the Department as computed for each calendar quarter of the
194 preceding complete calendar quarter period is less than
20$20,000. However, if a taxpayer can show the Department that a
21substantial change in the taxpayer's business has occurred
22which causes the taxpayer to anticipate that his average
23monthly tax liability for the reasonably foreseeable future
24will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated above, then such
25taxpayer may petition the Department for a change in such
26taxpayer's reporting status. The Department shall change such

HB5561- 746 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds that such change is
2seasonal in nature and not likely to be long term. If any such
3quarter monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the
4amount required by this Section, then the taxpayer shall be
5liable for penalties and interest on the difference between the
6minimum amount due and the amount of such quarter monthly
7payment actually and timely paid, except insofar as the
8taxpayer has previously made payments for that month to the
9Department in excess of the minimum payments previously due as
10provided in this Section. The Department shall make reasonable
11rules and regulations to govern the quarter monthly payment
12amount and quarter monthly payment dates for taxpayers who file
13on other than a calendar monthly basis.
14 If any such payment provided for in this Section exceeds
15the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Retailers'
16Occupation Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act and the
17Service Use Tax Act, as shown by an original monthly return,
18the Department shall issue to the taxpayer a credit memorandum
19no later than 30 days after the date of payment, which
20memorandum may be submitted by the taxpayer to the Department
21in payment of tax liability subsequently to be remitted by the
22taxpayer to the Department or be assigned by the taxpayer to a
23similar taxpayer under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax
24Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
25in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
26prescribed by the Department, except that if such excess

HB5561- 747 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1payment is shown on an original monthly return and is made
2after December 31, 1986, no credit memorandum shall be issued,
3unless requested by the taxpayer. If no such request is made,
4the taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax
5liability subsequently to be remitted by the taxpayer to the
6Department under this Act, the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act,
7the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act, in
8accordance with reasonable rules and regulations prescribed by
9the Department. If the Department subsequently determines that
10all or any part of the credit taken was not actually due to the
11taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1% or 1.75% vendor's discount shall
12be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75% of the difference between the
13credit taken and that actually due, and the taxpayer shall be
14liable for penalties and interest on such difference.
15 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly
16return and if the retailer's average monthly tax liability to
17the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
18authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
19with the return for January, February, and March of a given
20year being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for
21April, May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such
22year; with the return for July, August and September of a given
23year being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return
24for October, November and December of a given year being due by
25January 20 of the following year.
26 If the retailer is otherwise required to file a monthly or

HB5561- 748 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1quarterly return and if the retailer's average monthly tax
2liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
3may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
4the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
5following year.
6 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and
7substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
8returns.
9 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
10the time within which a retailer may file his return, in the
11case of any retailer who ceases to engage in a kind of business
12which makes him responsible for filing returns under this Act,
13such retailer shall file a final return under this Act with the
14Department not more than one month after discontinuing such
15business.
16 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
17aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
18an agency of this State, except as otherwise provided in this
19Section, every retailer selling this kind of tangible personal
20property shall file, with the Department, upon a form to be
21prescribed and supplied by the Department, a separate return
22for each such item of tangible personal property which the
23retailer sells, except that if, in the same transaction, (i) a
24retailer of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles or trailers
25transfers more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or
26trailer to another aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle or

HB5561- 749 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1trailer retailer for the purpose of resale or (ii) a retailer
2of aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or trailers transfers
3more than one aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicle, or trailer
4to a purchaser for use as a qualifying rolling stock as
5provided in Section 3-55 of this Act, then that seller may
6report the transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor
7vehicles or trailers involved in that transaction to the
8Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
9return form. For purposes of this Section, "watercraft" means a
10Class 2, Class 3, or Class 4 watercraft as defined in Section
113-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act, a personal
12watercraft, or any boat equipped with an inboard motor.
13 In addition, with respect to motor vehicles, watercraft,
14aircraft, and trailers that are required to be registered with
15an agency of this State, every person who is engaged in the
16business of leasing or renting such items and who, in
17connection with such business, sells any such item to a
18retailer for the purpose of resale is, notwithstanding any
19other provision of this Section to the contrary, authorized to
20meet the return-filing requirement of this Act by reporting the
21transfer of all the aircraft, watercraft, motor vehicles, or
22trailers transferred for resale during a month to the
23Department on the same uniform invoice-transaction reporting
24return form on or before the 20th of the month following the
25month in which the transfer takes place. Notwithstanding any
26other provision of this Act to the contrary, all returns filed

HB5561- 750 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1under this paragraph must be filed by electronic means in the
2manner and form as required by the Department.
3 The transaction reporting return in the case of motor
4vehicles or trailers that are required to be registered with an
5agency of this State, shall be the same document as the Uniform
6Invoice referred to in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle
7Code and must show the name and address of the seller; the name
8and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling price
9including the amount allowed by the retailer for traded-in
10property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer for the
11traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the extent to
12which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for the value
13of traded-in property; the balance payable after deducting such
14trade-in allowance from the total selling price; the amount of
15tax due from the retailer with respect to such transaction; the
16amount of tax collected from the purchaser by the retailer on
17such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that such tax is not
18due in that particular instance, if that is claimed to be the
19fact); the place and date of the sale; a sufficient
20identification of the property sold; such other information as
21is required in Section 5-402 of the Illinois Vehicle Code, and
22such other information as the Department may reasonably
23require.
24 The transaction reporting return in the case of watercraft
25and aircraft must show the name and address of the seller; the
26name and address of the purchaser; the amount of the selling

HB5561- 751 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
2traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
3for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
4extent to which Section 2 of this Act allows an exemption for
5the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
6deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
7the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
8transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
9the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
10such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
11claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
12sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other
13information as the Department may reasonably require.
14 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
15than 20 days after the date of delivery of the item that is
16being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
17than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
18return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the tax
19that is imposed by this Act may be transmitted to the
20Department by way of the State agency with which, or State
21officer with whom, the tangible personal property must be
22titled or registered (if titling or registration is required)
23if the Department and such agency or State officer determine
24that this procedure will expedite the processing of
25applications for title or registration.
26 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer

HB5561- 752 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
2satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
3the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
4Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a tax receipt
5(or a certificate of exemption if the Department is satisfied
6that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such purchaser
7may submit to the agency with which, or State officer with
8whom, he must title or register the tangible personal property
9that is involved (if titling or registration is required) in
10support of such purchaser's application for an Illinois
11certificate or other evidence of title or registration to such
12tangible personal property.
13 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
14Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
15retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
16evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
17is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
18paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
19Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
20mandate of this paragraph.
21 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
22wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
23tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
24retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
25paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
26of such delay by the retailer, and may (upon the Department

HB5561- 753 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
2the information required by the transaction reporting return
3and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
4the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
5determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
6and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
7credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
8with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
9provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
10the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
11same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
12if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.
13 Where a retailer collects the tax with respect to the
14selling price of tangible personal property which he sells and
15the purchaser thereafter returns such tangible personal
16property and the retailer refunds the selling price thereof to
17the purchaser, such retailer shall also refund, to the
18purchaser, the tax so collected from the purchaser. When filing
19his return for the period in which he refunds such tax to the
20purchaser, the retailer may deduct the amount of the tax so
21refunded by him to the purchaser from any other use tax which
22such retailer may be required to pay or remit to the
23Department, as shown by such return, if the amount of the tax
24to be deducted was previously remitted to the Department by
25such retailer. If the retailer has not previously remitted the
26amount of such tax to the Department, he is entitled to no

HB5561- 754 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1deduction under this Act upon refunding such tax to the
2purchaser.
3 Any retailer filing a return under this Section shall also
4include (for the purpose of paying tax thereon) the total tax
5covered by such return upon the selling price of tangible
6personal property purchased by him at retail from a retailer,
7but as to which the tax imposed by this Act was not collected
8from the retailer filing such return, and such retailer shall
9remit the amount of such tax to the Department when filing such
10return.
11 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
12Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
13return which will enable retailers, who are required to file
14returns hereunder and also under the Retailers' Occupation Tax
15Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
16Acts on the one form.
17 Where the retailer has more than one business registered
18with the Department under separate registration under this Act,
19such retailer may not file each return that is due as a single
20return covering all such registered businesses, but shall file
21separate returns for each such registered business.
22 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
23pay into the State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, a special
24fund in the State Treasury which is hereby created, the net
25revenue realized for the preceding month from the 1% tax

14from a retailer and which is titled or registered by an agency
15of this State's government and (ii) aviation fuel sold on or
16after December 1, 2019. This exception for aviation fuel only
17applies for so long as the revenue use requirements of 49
18U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133 are binding on the State.
19 For aviation fuel sold on or after December 1, 2019, each
20month the Department shall pay into the State Aviation Program
21Fund 20% of the net revenue realized for the preceding month
22from the 6.25% general rate on the selling price of aviation
23fuel, less an amount estimated by the Department to be required
24for refunds of the 20% portion of the tax on aviation fuel
25under this Act, which amount shall be deposited into the
26Aviation Fuel Sales Tax Refund Fund. The Department shall only

1pay moneys into the State Aviation Program Fund and the
2Aviation Fuels Sales Tax Refund Fund under this Act for so long
3as the revenue use requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49

11realized for the preceding month from the 1.25% rate on the
12selling price of sales tax holiday items.
13 Beginning January 1, 1990, each month the Department shall
14pay into the Local Government Tax Fund 16% of the net revenue
15realized for the preceding month from the 6.25% general rate on
16the selling price of tangible personal property which is
17purchased outside Illinois at retail from a retailer and which
18is titled or registered by an agency of this State's

7 Section 15-15. The Service Use Tax Act is amended by
8changing Section 9 as follows:
9 (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
10 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
11the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
12of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
13is required to file his return for the period during which such
14tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
151990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
16year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
17serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping
18records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and
19supplying data to the Department on request. The discount under
20this Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid
21on aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use
22requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. The
23discount allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns
24that are filed in the manner required by this Act. The

HB5561- 771 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1Department may disallow the discount for servicemen whose
2certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return
3is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the
4certificate of registration has become final. A serviceman need
5not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
6that he is required to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the
7Service Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of service
8involving the incidental transfer by him of the same property.
9 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
10before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
11serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month
12in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to be
13promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed on a
14form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
15information as the Department may reasonably require. On and
16after January 1, 2018, with respect to servicemen whose annual
17gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all returns required to
18be filed pursuant to this Act shall be filed electronically.
19Servicemen who demonstrate that they do not have access to the
20Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing electronically may
21petition the Department to waive the electronic filing
22requirement.
23 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
24quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
25quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
26calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The

HB5561- 772 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
2of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
3the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
4 1. The name of the seller;
5 2. The address of the principal place of business from
6 which he engages in business as a serviceman in this State;

10 by law;
11 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
12 Act;
13 5. The amount of tax due;
14 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
15 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
16 may require.
17 Each serviceman required or authorized to collect the tax
18imposed by this Act on aviation fuel transferred as an incident
19of a sale of service in this State during the preceding
20calendar month shall, instead of reporting and paying tax on
21aviation fuel as otherwise required by this Section, report and
22pay such tax on a separate aviation fuel tax return. The
23requirements related to the return shall be as otherwise
24provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other provisions
25of this Act to the contrary, servicemen collecting tax on
26aviation fuel shall file all aviation fuel tax returns and

HB5561- 773 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1shall make all aviation fuel tax payments by electronic means
2in the manner and form required by the Department. For purposes
3of this Section, "aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation
4gasoline.
5 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
6the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
7the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
8due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
9 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
10contrary, servicemen subject to tax on cannabis shall file all
11cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments
12by electronic means in the manner and form required by the
13Department.
14 Beginning October 1, 1993, a taxpayer who has an average

6with the return for January, February and March of a given year
7being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
8May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
9with the return for July, August and September of a given year
10being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
11October, November and December of a given year being due by
12January 20 of the following year.
13 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
14or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax

20substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
21returns.
22 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
23the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the

10the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
11any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
12occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
13to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,

1return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
2returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
3Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
4Acts on the one form.
5 Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
6with the Department under separate registration hereunder,

14 Section 15-20. The Service Occupation Tax Act is amended by
15changing Section 9 as follows:
16 (35 ILCS 110/9) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.39)
17 Sec. 9. Each serviceman required or authorized to collect
18the tax herein imposed shall pay to the Department the amount
19of such tax (except as otherwise provided) at the time when he
20is required to file his return for the period during which such
21tax was collected, less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1,
221990 and 1.75% on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar
23year, whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
24serviceman for expenses incurred in collecting the tax, keeping

HB5561- 792 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1records, preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and
2supplying data to the Department on request. The discount under
3this Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid
4on aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use
5requirements of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. The
6discount allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns
7that are filed in the manner required by this Act. The
8Department may disallow the discount for servicemen whose
9certificate of registration is revoked at the time the return
10is filed, but only if the Department's decision to revoke the
11certificate of registration has become final. A serviceman need
12not remit that part of any tax collected by him to the extent
13that he is required to pay and does pay the tax imposed by the
14Service Occupation Tax Act with respect to his sale of service
15involving the incidental transfer by him of the same property.
16 Except as provided hereinafter in this Section, on or
17before the twentieth day of each calendar month, such
18serviceman shall file a return for the preceding calendar month
19in accordance with reasonable Rules and Regulations to be
20promulgated by the Department. Such return shall be filed on a
21form prescribed by the Department and shall contain such
22information as the Department may reasonably require. On and
23after January 1, 2018, with respect to servicemen whose annual
24gross receipts average $20,000 or more, all returns required to
25be filed pursuant to this Act shall be filed electronically.
26Servicemen who demonstrate that they do not have access to the

HB5561- 793 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1Internet or demonstrate hardship in filing electronically may
2petition the Department to waive the electronic filing
3requirement.
4 The Department may require returns to be filed on a
5quarterly basis. If so required, a return for each calendar
6quarter shall be filed on or before the twentieth day of the
7calendar month following the end of such calendar quarter. The
8taxpayer shall also file a return with the Department for each
9of the first two months of each calendar quarter, on or before
10the twentieth day of the following calendar month, stating:
11 1. The name of the seller;
12 2. The address of the principal place of business from
13 which he engages in business as a serviceman in this State;
14 3. The total amount of taxable receipts received by him
15 during the preceding calendar month, including receipts
16 from charge and time sales, but less all deductions allowed
17 by law;
18 4. The amount of credit provided in Section 2d of this
19 Act;
20 5. The amount of tax due;
21 5-5. The signature of the taxpayer; and
22 6. Such other reasonable information as the Department
23 may require.
24 Each serviceman required or authorized to collect the tax
25imposed by this Act on aviation fuel transferred as an incident
26of a sale of service in this State during the preceding

HB5561- 794 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1calendar month shall, instead of reporting and paying tax on
2aviation fuel as otherwise required by this Section, report and
3pay such tax on a separate aviation fuel tax return. The
4requirements related to the return shall be as otherwise
5provided in this Section. Notwithstanding any other provisions
6of this Act to the contrary, servicemen collecting tax on
7aviation fuel shall file all aviation fuel tax returns and
8shall make all aviation fuel tax payments by electronic means
9in the manner and form required by the Department. For purposes
10of this Section, "aviation fuel" means jet fuel and aviation
11gasoline.
12 If a taxpayer fails to sign a return within 30 days after
13the proper notice and demand for signature by the Department,
14the return shall be considered valid and any amount shown to be
15due on the return shall be deemed assessed.
16 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the
17contrary, servicemen subject to tax on cannabis shall file all
18cannabis tax returns and shall make all cannabis tax payments
19by electronic means in the manner and form required by the
20Department.

1funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 1995, a taxpayer who has
2an average monthly tax liability of $50,000 or more shall make
3all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
4funds transfer. Beginning October 1, 2000, a taxpayer who has
5an annual tax liability of $200,000 or more shall make all
6payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
7funds transfer. The term "annual tax liability" shall be the
8sum of the taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all
9other State and local occupation and use tax laws administered
10by the Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year.
11The term "average monthly tax liability" means the sum of the
12taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, and under all other
13State and local occupation and use tax laws administered by the
14Department, for the immediately preceding calendar year
15divided by 12. Beginning on October 1, 2002, a taxpayer who has
16a tax liability in the amount set forth in subsection (b) of
17Section 2505-210 of the Department of Revenue Law shall make
18all payments required by rules of the Department by electronic
19funds transfer.
20 Before August 1 of each year beginning in 1993, the
21Department shall notify all taxpayers required to make payments
22by electronic funds transfer. All taxpayers required to make
23payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
24for a minimum of one year beginning on October 1.
25 Any taxpayer not required to make payments by electronic
26funds transfer may make payments by electronic funds transfer

HB5561- 796 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1with the permission of the Department.
2 All taxpayers required to make payment by electronic funds
3transfer and any taxpayers authorized to voluntarily make
4payments by electronic funds transfer shall make those payments
5in the manner authorized by the Department.
6 The Department shall adopt such rules as are necessary to
7effectuate a program of electronic funds transfer and the
8requirements of this Section.
9 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
10return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax liability to
11the Department does not exceed $200, the Department may
12authorize his returns to be filed on a quarter annual basis,
13with the return for January, February and March of a given year
14being due by April 20 of such year; with the return for April,
15May and June of a given year being due by July 20 of such year;
16with the return for July, August and September of a given year
17being due by October 20 of such year, and with the return for
18October, November and December of a given year being due by
19January 20 of the following year.
20 If the serviceman is otherwise required to file a monthly
21or quarterly return and if the serviceman's average monthly tax
22liability to the Department does not exceed $50, the Department
23may authorize his returns to be filed on an annual basis, with
24the return for a given year being due by January 20 of the
25following year.
26 Such quarter annual and annual returns, as to form and

HB5561- 797 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1substance, shall be subject to the same requirements as monthly
2returns.
3 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Act concerning
4the time within which a serviceman may file his return, in the
5case of any serviceman who ceases to engage in a kind of
6business which makes him responsible for filing returns under
7this Act, such serviceman shall file a final return under this
8Act with the Department not more than 1 month after
9discontinuing such business.
10 Where a serviceman collects the tax with respect to the
11selling price of property which he sells and the purchaser
12thereafter returns such property and the serviceman refunds the
13selling price thereof to the purchaser, such serviceman shall
14also refund, to the purchaser, the tax so collected from the
15purchaser. When filing his return for the period in which he
16refunds such tax to the purchaser, the serviceman may deduct
17the amount of the tax so refunded by him to the purchaser from
18any other Service Use Tax, Service Occupation Tax, retailers'
19occupation tax or use tax which such serviceman may be required
20to pay or remit to the Department, as shown by such return,
21provided that the amount of the tax to be deducted shall
22previously have been remitted to the Department by such
23serviceman. If the serviceman shall not previously have
24remitted the amount of such tax to the Department, he shall be
25entitled to no deduction hereunder upon refunding such tax to
26the purchaser.

HB5561- 798 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 Any serviceman filing a return hereunder shall also include
2the total tax upon the selling price of tangible personal
3property purchased for use by him as an incident to a sale of
4service, and such serviceman shall remit the amount of such tax
5to the Department when filing such return.
6 If experience indicates such action to be practicable, the
7Department may prescribe and furnish a combination or joint
8return which will enable servicemen, who are required to file
9returns hereunder and also under the Service Occupation Tax
10Act, to furnish all the return information required by both
11Acts on the one form.
12 Where the serviceman has more than one business registered
13with the Department under separate registration hereunder,
14such serviceman shall not file each return that is due as a
15single return covering all such registered businesses, but
16shall file separate returns for each such registered business.

15price including the amount allowed by the retailer for
16traded-in property, if any; the amount allowed by the retailer
17for the traded-in tangible personal property, if any, to the
18extent to which Section 1 of this Act allows an exemption for
19the value of traded-in property; the balance payable after
20deducting such trade-in allowance from the total selling price;
21the amount of tax due from the retailer with respect to such
22transaction; the amount of tax collected from the purchaser by
23the retailer on such transaction (or satisfactory evidence that
24such tax is not due in that particular instance, if that is
25claimed to be the fact); the place and date of the sale, a
26sufficient identification of the property sold, and such other

HB5561- 825 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1information as the Department may reasonably require.
2 Such transaction reporting return shall be filed not later
3than 20 days after the day of delivery of the item that is
4being sold, but may be filed by the retailer at any time sooner
5than that if he chooses to do so. The transaction reporting
6return and tax remittance or proof of exemption from the
7Illinois use tax may be transmitted to the Department by way of
8the State agency with which, or State officer with whom the
9tangible personal property must be titled or registered (if
10titling or registration is required) if the Department and such
11agency or State officer determine that this procedure will
12expedite the processing of applications for title or
13registration.
14 With each such transaction reporting return, the retailer
15shall remit the proper amount of tax due (or shall submit
16satisfactory evidence that the sale is not taxable if that is
17the case), to the Department or its agents, whereupon the
18Department shall issue, in the purchaser's name, a use tax
19receipt (or a certificate of exemption if the Department is
20satisfied that the particular sale is tax exempt) which such
21purchaser may submit to the agency with which, or State officer
22with whom, he must title or register the tangible personal
23property that is involved (if titling or registration is
24required) in support of such purchaser's application for an
25Illinois certificate or other evidence of title or registration
26to such tangible personal property.

HB5561- 826 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 No retailer's failure or refusal to remit tax under this
2Act precludes a user, who has paid the proper tax to the
3retailer, from obtaining his certificate of title or other
4evidence of title or registration (if titling or registration
5is required) upon satisfying the Department that such user has
6paid the proper tax (if tax is due) to the retailer. The
7Department shall adopt appropriate rules to carry out the
8mandate of this paragraph.
9 If the user who would otherwise pay tax to the retailer
10wants the transaction reporting return filed and the payment of
11the tax or proof of exemption made to the Department before the
12retailer is willing to take these actions and such user has not
13paid the tax to the retailer, such user may certify to the fact
14of such delay by the retailer and may (upon the Department
15being satisfied of the truth of such certification) transmit
16the information required by the transaction reporting return
17and the remittance for tax or proof of exemption directly to
18the Department and obtain his tax receipt or exemption
19determination, in which event the transaction reporting return
20and tax remittance (if a tax payment was required) shall be
21credited by the Department to the proper retailer's account
22with the Department, but without the 2.1% or 1.75% discount
23provided for in this Section being allowed. When the user pays
24the tax directly to the Department, he shall pay the tax in the
25same amount and in the same form in which it would be remitted
26if the tax had been remitted to the Department by the retailer.

HB5561- 827 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 Refunds made by the seller during the preceding return
2period to purchasers, on account of tangible personal property
3returned to the seller, shall be allowed as a deduction under
4subdivision 5 of his monthly or quarterly return, as the case
5may be, in case the seller had theretofore included the
6receipts from the sale of such tangible personal property in a
7return filed by him and had paid the tax imposed by this Act
8with respect to such receipts.
9 Where the seller is a corporation, the return filed on
10behalf of such corporation shall be signed by the president,
11vice-president, secretary or treasurer or by the properly
12accredited agent of such corporation.
13 Where the seller is a limited liability company, the return
14filed on behalf of the limited liability company shall be
15signed by a manager, member, or properly accredited agent of
16the limited liability company.
17 Except as provided in this Section, the retailer filing the
18return under this Section shall, at the time of filing such
19return, pay to the Department the amount of tax imposed by this
20Act less a discount of 2.1% prior to January 1, 1990 and 1.75%
21on and after January 1, 1990, or $5 per calendar year,
22whichever is greater, which is allowed to reimburse the
23retailer for the expenses incurred in keeping records,
24preparing and filing returns, remitting the tax and supplying
25data to the Department on request. The discount under this
26Section is not allowed for the 1.25% portion of taxes paid on

HB5561- 828 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1aviation fuel that is subject to the revenue use requirements
2of 49 U.S.C. 47107(b) and 49 U.S.C. 47133. Any prepayment made
3pursuant to Section 2d of this Act shall be included in the
4amount on which such 2.1% or 1.75% discount is computed. In the
5case of retailers who report and pay the tax on a transaction
6by transaction basis, as provided in this Section, such
7discount shall be taken with each such tax remittance instead
8of when such retailer files his periodic return. The discount
9allowed under this Section is allowed only for returns that are
10filed in the manner required by this Act. The Department may
11disallow the discount for retailers whose certificate of
12registration is revoked at the time the return is filed, but
13only if the Department's decision to revoke the certificate of
14registration has become final.
15 Before October 1, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly
16tax liability to the Department under this Act, the Use Tax
17Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax
18Act, excluding any liability for prepaid sales tax to be
19remitted in accordance with Section 2d of this Act, was $10,000
20or more during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he
21shall file a return with the Department each month by the 20th
22day of the month next following the month during which such tax
23liability is incurred and shall make payments to the Department
24on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month
25during which such liability is incurred. On and after October
261, 2000, if the taxpayer's average monthly tax liability to the

HB5561- 829 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1Department under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the Service
2Occupation Tax Act, and the Service Use Tax Act, excluding any
3liability for prepaid sales tax to be remitted in accordance
4with Section 2d of this Act, was $20,000 or more during the
5preceding 4 complete calendar quarters, he shall file a return
6with the Department each month by the 20th day of the month
7next following the month during which such tax liability is
8incurred and shall make payment to the Department on or before
9the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the month during which such
10liability is incurred. If the month during which such tax
11liability is incurred began prior to January 1, 1985, each
12payment shall be in an amount equal to 1/4 of the taxpayer's
13actual liability for the month or an amount set by the
14Department not to exceed 1/4 of the average monthly liability
15of the taxpayer to the Department for the preceding 4 complete
16calendar quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and
17the month of lowest liability in such 4 quarter period). If the
18month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or
19after January 1, 1985 and prior to January 1, 1987, each
20payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
21actual liability for the month or 27.5% of the taxpayer's
22liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
23the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
24or after January 1, 1987 and prior to January 1, 1988, each
25payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
26actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's

HB5561- 830 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year. If
2the month during which such tax liability is incurred begins on
3or after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1989, or
4begins on or after January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
5amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
6the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
7calendar month of the preceding year. If the month during which
8such tax liability is incurred begins on or after January 1,
91989, and prior to January 1, 1996, each payment shall be in an
10amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for
11the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for the same
12calendar month of the preceding year or 100% of the taxpayer's
13actual liability for the quarter monthly reporting period. The
14amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
15against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
16that month. Before October 1, 2000, once applicable, the
17requirement of the making of quarter monthly payments to the
18Department by taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability
19of $10,000 or more as determined in the manner provided above
20shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly liability
21to the Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar
22quarters (excluding the month of highest liability and the
23month of lowest liability) is less than $9,000, or until such
24taxpayer's average monthly liability to the Department as
25computed for each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete
26calendar quarter period is less than $10,000. However, if a

HB5561- 831 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1taxpayer can show the Department that a substantial change in
2the taxpayer's business has occurred which causes the taxpayer
3to anticipate that his average monthly tax liability for the
4reasonably foreseeable future will fall below the $10,000
5threshold stated above, then such taxpayer may petition the
6Department for a change in such taxpayer's reporting status. On
7and after October 1, 2000, once applicable, the requirement of
8the making of quarter monthly payments to the Department by
9taxpayers having an average monthly tax liability of $20,000 or
10more as determined in the manner provided above shall continue
11until such taxpayer's average monthly liability to the
12Department during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
13(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
14lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
15average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
16each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
17quarter period is less than $20,000. However, if a taxpayer can
18show the Department that a substantial change in the taxpayer's
19business has occurred which causes the taxpayer to anticipate
20that his average monthly tax liability for the reasonably
21foreseeable future will fall below the $20,000 threshold stated
22above, then such taxpayer may petition the Department for a
23change in such taxpayer's reporting status. The Department
24shall change such taxpayer's reporting status unless it finds
25that such change is seasonal in nature and not likely to be
26long term. If any such quarter monthly payment is not paid at

HB5561- 832 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1the time or in the amount required by this Section, then the
2taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on the
3difference between the minimum amount due as a payment and the
4amount of such quarter monthly payment actually and timely
5paid, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
6payments for that month to the Department in excess of the
7minimum payments previously due as provided in this Section.
8The Department shall make reasonable rules and regulations to
9govern the quarter monthly payment amount and quarter monthly
10payment dates for taxpayers who file on other than a calendar
11monthly basis.
12 The provisions of this paragraph apply before October 1,
132001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to make
14quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer who
15is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
16prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes which average in
17excess of $25,000 per month during the preceding 2 complete
18calendar quarters, shall file a return with the Department as
19required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
20Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
21month during which such liability is incurred. If the month
22during which such tax liability is incurred began prior to
23September 1, 1985 (the effective date of Public Act 84-221),
24each payment shall be in an amount not less than 22.5% of the
25taxpayer's actual liability under Section 2d. If the month
26during which such tax liability is incurred begins on or after

HB5561- 833 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1January 1, 1986, each payment shall be in an amount equal to
222.5% of the taxpayer's actual liability for the month or 27.5%
3of the taxpayer's liability for the same calendar month of the
4preceding calendar year. If the month during which such tax
5liability is incurred begins on or after January 1, 1987, each
6payment shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's
7actual liability for the month or 26.25% of the taxpayer's
8liability for the same calendar month of the preceding year.
9The amount of such quarter monthly payments shall be credited
10against the final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for
11that month filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case
12may be. Once applicable, the requirement of the making of
13quarter monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this
14paragraph shall continue until such taxpayer's average monthly
15prepaid tax collections during the preceding 2 complete
16calendar quarters is $25,000 or less. If any such quarter
17monthly payment is not paid at the time or in the amount
18required, the taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
19interest on such difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has
20previously made payments for that month in excess of the
21minimum payments previously due.
22 The provisions of this paragraph apply on and after October
231, 2001. Without regard to whether a taxpayer is required to
24make quarter monthly payments as specified above, any taxpayer
25who is required by Section 2d of this Act to collect and remit
26prepaid taxes and has collected prepaid taxes that average in

HB5561- 834 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1excess of $20,000 per month during the preceding 4 complete
2calendar quarters shall file a return with the Department as
3required by Section 2f and shall make payments to the
4Department on or before the 7th, 15th, 22nd and last day of the
5month during which the liability is incurred. Each payment
6shall be in an amount equal to 22.5% of the taxpayer's actual
7liability for the month or 25% of the taxpayer's liability for
8the same calendar month of the preceding year. The amount of
9the quarter monthly payments shall be credited against the
10final tax liability of the taxpayer's return for that month
11filed under this Section or Section 2f, as the case may be.
12Once applicable, the requirement of the making of quarter
13monthly payments to the Department pursuant to this paragraph
14shall continue until the taxpayer's average monthly prepaid tax
15collections during the preceding 4 complete calendar quarters
16(excluding the month of highest liability and the month of
17lowest liability) is less than $19,000 or until such taxpayer's
18average monthly liability to the Department as computed for
19each calendar quarter of the 4 preceding complete calendar
20quarters is less than $20,000. If any such quarter monthly
21payment is not paid at the time or in the amount required, the
22taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and interest on such
23difference, except insofar as the taxpayer has previously made
24payments for that month in excess of the minimum payments
25previously due.
26 If any payment provided for in this Section exceeds the

HB5561- 835 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1taxpayer's liabilities under this Act, the Use Tax Act, the
2Service Occupation Tax Act and the Service Use Tax Act, as
3shown on an original monthly return, the Department shall, if
4requested by the taxpayer, issue to the taxpayer a credit
5memorandum no later than 30 days after the date of payment. The
6credit evidenced by such credit memorandum may be assigned by
7the taxpayer to a similar taxpayer under this Act, the Use Tax
8Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service Use Tax Act,
9in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations to be
10prescribed by the Department. If no such request is made, the
11taxpayer may credit such excess payment against tax liability
12subsequently to be remitted to the Department under this Act,
13the Use Tax Act, the Service Occupation Tax Act or the Service
14Use Tax Act, in accordance with reasonable rules and
15regulations prescribed by the Department. If the Department
16subsequently determined that all or any part of the credit
17taken was not actually due to the taxpayer, the taxpayer's 2.1%
18and 1.75% vendor's discount shall be reduced by 2.1% or 1.75%
19of the difference between the credit taken and that actually
20due, and that taxpayer shall be liable for penalties and
21interest on such difference.
22 If a retailer of motor fuel is entitled to a credit under
23Section 2d of this Act which exceeds the taxpayer's liability
24to the Department under this Act for the month which the
25taxpayer is filing a return, the Department shall issue the
26taxpayer a credit memorandum for the excess.

6or pedestrian walkways in the county highway system, township
7and district road system, or municipal street system as defined
8in the Illinois Highway Code, as the same may from time to time
9be amended, for separation of grades, for installation,
10construction or reconstruction of crossing protection or
11reconstruction, alteration, relocation including construction
12or improvement of any existing highway necessary for access to
13property or improvement of any grade crossing and grade
14crossing surface including the necessary highway approaches

1which payments from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund will be
2made, the Commission shall account for expenditures authorized
3by the orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For
4purposes of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that
5the total cost of the project is expended in the fiscal year in
6which the order is entered, while a "cash basis" allocates the
7cost of the project among fiscal years as expenditures are
8actually made. To meet the requirements of this subsection, the
9Illinois Commerce Commission shall develop annual and 5-year
10project plans of rail crossing capital improvements that will
11be paid for with moneys from the Grade Crossing Protection
12Fund. The annual project plan shall identify projects for the
13succeeding fiscal year and the 5-year project plan shall
14identify projects for the 5 directly succeeding fiscal years.
15The Commission shall submit the annual and 5-year project plans

1 dissolved township. The moneys received under this
2 subparagraph shall be used in the geographic area of the
3 dissolved township. If a township is reconstituted as
4 provided under Section 24-45 of the Township Code, McHenry
5 County or a municipality shall no longer be distributed
6 moneys under this subparagraph.
7 As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
8Department of Transportation shall allot to each municipality
9its share of the amount apportioned to the several
10municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
11of such municipalities as determined by the last preceding
12municipal census if conducted by the Federal Government or
13Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality
14subsequent to the time of the last preceding census the
15corporate authorities of such municipality may cause a census
16to be taken of such annexed territory and the population so
17ascertained for such territory shall be added to the population
18of the municipality as determined by the last preceding census
19for the purpose of determining the allotment for that
20municipality. If the population of any municipality was not
21determined by the last Federal census preceding any
22apportionment, the apportionment to such municipality shall be
23in accordance with any census taken by such municipality. Any
24municipal census used in accordance with this Section shall be
25certified to the Department of Transportation by the clerk of
26such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be subject to

HB5561- 866 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1approval of the Department which may make such corrections as
2it ascertains to be necessary.
3 As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
4Department of Transportation shall allot to each county its
5share of the amount apportioned to the several counties of the
6State as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
7counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
8proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees received
9from the residents of such counties, respectively, during the
10preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State shall, on or
11before April 15 of each year, transmit to the Department of
12Transportation a full and complete report showing the amount of
13motor vehicle license fees received from the residents of each
14county, respectively, during the preceding calendar year. The
15Department of Transportation shall, each month, use for
16allotment purposes the last such report received from the
17Secretary of State.
18 As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
19Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
20counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
21road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
22several counties in the State in the proportion which the total
23mileage of township or district roads in the respective
24counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
25district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
26counties for the use of road districts therein shall be

HB5561- 867 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
2proportion which the total mileage of such township or district
3roads in the respective road districts bears to the total
4mileage of all such township or district roads in the county.
5After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation shall be
6made for any road district unless it levied a tax for road and
7bridge purposes in an amount which will require the extension
8of such tax against the taxable property in any such road
9district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the value
10thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
11prior to the year in which such tax was levied and as equalized
12by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
13equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
14jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less. Beginning
15July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an allocation shall be
16made for any road district if it levied a tax for road and
17bridge purposes. In counties other than DuPage County, if the
18amount of the tax levy requires the extension of the tax
19against the taxable property in the road district at a rate
20that is less than 0.08% of the value thereof, based upon the
21assessment for the year immediately prior to the year in which
22the tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of
23Revenue, then the amount of the allocation for that road
24district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal
25to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by the
26district by 0.08%. In DuPage County, if the amount of the tax

HB5561- 868 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1levy requires the extension of the tax against the taxable
2property in the road district at a rate that is less than the
3lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of the taxable property in the
4road district, based upon the assessment for the year
5immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
6as equalized by the Department of Revenue, or (ii) a rate that
7will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
8the jurisdiction of the road district, then the amount of the
9allocation for the road district shall be a percentage of the
10maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by dividing
11the rate extended by the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or
12(ii) the rate that will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per
13mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district.
14 Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
15tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
166-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
17an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
18than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
19equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
20DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
21mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
22whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a proper
23compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
24district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning in 2011
25and thereafter, if any road district has levied a special tax
26for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and 6-603 of the

HB5561- 869 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in an amount that
2would require extension at a rate of not less than 0.08% of the
3value of the taxable property of that road district, as
4equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue or, in
5DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
6mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
7whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a proper
8compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
9district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment under
10this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less than
110.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
12County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
13of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
14jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
15special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
16purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
17district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment under
18this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to or
19less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then any
20allotment under this Section shall be determined by the other
21levy for road and bridge purposes.
22 Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road
23and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
24tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax
25levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in
26DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per

HB5561- 870 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
2whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
3levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section and
4shall qualify the road district for an allotment under this
5Section.
6 In counties in which a property tax extension limitation is
7imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, road
8districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel tax
9allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a full
10allotment if, at the time the property tax extension limitation
11was imposed, the road district was levying a road and bridge
12tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor fuel tax
13allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable amount
14after the imposition of the property tax extension limitation.
15Any road district may in all circumstances retain its
16entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
172011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
18and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
19the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
20rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
21property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
22preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
23by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
24equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
25jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
26 As used in this Section, the term "road district" means any

HB5561- 871 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1road district, including a county unit road district, provided
2for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term "township or
3district road" means any road in the township and district road
4system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code. For the
5purposes of this Section, "township or district road" also
6includes such roads as are maintained by park districts, forest
7preserve districts and conservation districts. The Department
8of Transportation shall determine the mileage of all township
9and district roads for the purposes of making allotments and
10allocations of motor fuel tax funds for use in road districts.
11 Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
12counties shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment
13is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may invest
14these funds until their use is required and the interest earned
15by these investments shall be limited to the same uses as the
16principal funds.

21 Technicians must be alert for any unusual or suspect
22 readings, and if unusual or suspect readings of a radar
23 unit persist, that unit shall immediately be removed from
24 service and not returned to service until it has been
25 checked by a qualified technician and determined to be

5 penalty for any one violation shall not exceed $250, except
6 as provided in subsection (c) of Section 11-1301.3 of this
7 Code.
8 (11) Other provisions as are necessary and proper to
9 carry into effect the powers granted and purposes stated in
10 this Section.
11 (c) Any municipality or county establishing vehicular
12standing, parking, compliance, automated speed enforcement
13system, or automated traffic law regulations under this Section
14may also provide by ordinance for a program of vehicle
15immobilization for the purpose of facilitating enforcement of
16those regulations. The program of vehicle immobilization shall
17provide for immobilizing any eligible vehicle upon the public
18way by presence of a restraint in a manner to prevent operation
19of the vehicle. Any ordinance establishing a program of vehicle
20immobilization under this Section shall provide:
21 (1) Criteria for the designation of vehicles eligible
22 for immobilization. A vehicle shall be eligible for
23 immobilization when the registered owner of the vehicle has

9 both, listed on the notice.
10 (3) The right to a prompt hearing after a vehicle has
11 been immobilized or subsequently towed without the
12 completion of the required traffic education program or
13 payment of the outstanding fines and penalties on parking,
14 standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
15 or automated traffic law violations, or both, for which
16 final determinations have been issued. An order issued
17 after the hearing is a final administrative decision within
18 the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil
19 Procedure.
20 (4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice
21 advising the registered owner of the vehicle of the right
22 to a hearing to challenge the validity of the impoundment.
23 (d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking,
24standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or
25automated traffic law violations and final administrative
26decisions issued after hearings regarding vehicle

HB5561- 913 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1immobilization and impoundment made under this Section shall be
2subject to the provisions of the Administrative Review Law.
3 (e) Any fine, penalty, incomplete traffic education
4program, or part of any fine or any penalty remaining unpaid
5after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust,
6administrative remedies created under this Section and the
7conclusion of any judicial review procedures shall be a debt
8due and owing the municipality or county and, as such, may be
9collected in accordance with applicable law. Completion of any
10required traffic education program and payment in full of any
11fine or penalty resulting from a standing, parking, compliance,
12automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
13violation shall constitute a final disposition of that
14violation.
15 (f) After the expiration of the period within which
16judicial review may be sought for a final determination of
17parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
18system, or automated traffic law violation, the municipality or
19county may commence a proceeding in the Circuit Court for
20purposes of obtaining a judgment on the final determination of
21violation. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a municipality
22or county from consolidating multiple final determinations of
23parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
24system, or automated traffic law violations against a person in
25a proceeding. Upon commencement of the action, the municipality
26or county shall file a certified copy or record of the final

HB5561- 914 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1determination of parking, standing, compliance, automated
2speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation,
3which shall be accompanied by a certification that recites
4facts sufficient to show that the final determination of
5violation was issued in accordance with this Section and the
6applicable municipal or county ordinance. Service of the
7summons and a copy of the petition may be by any method
8provided by Section 2-203 of the Code of Civil Procedure or by
9certified mail, return receipt requested, provided that the
10total amount of fines and penalties for final determinations of

12system, or automated traffic law violations does not exceed
13$2500. If the court is satisfied that the final determination
14of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
15system, or automated traffic law violation was entered in
16accordance with the requirements of this Section and the
17applicable municipal or county ordinance, and that the
18registered owner or the lessee, as the case may be, had an
19opportunity for an administrative hearing and for judicial
20review as provided in this Section, the court shall render
21judgment in favor of the municipality or county and against the
22registered owner or the lessee for the amount indicated in the
23final determination of parking, standing, compliance,
24automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
25violation, plus costs. The judgment shall have the same effect
26and may be enforced in the same manner as other judgments for

HB5561- 915 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1the recovery of money.
2 (g) The fee for participating in a traffic education
3program under this Section shall not exceed $25.

6borders. The administrative system shall only have authority to
7adjudicate civil offenses carrying fines not in excess of $500
8or requiring the completion of a traffic education program, or
9both, that occur after the effective date of the ordinance
10adopting such a system under this Section. For purposes of this
11Section, "compliance violation" means a violation of a
12municipal or county regulation governing the condition or use
13of equipment on a vehicle or governing the display of a
14municipal or county wheel tax license.
15 (b) Any ordinance establishing a system of administrative
16adjudication under this Section shall provide for:

8 and serve parking, standing, and compliance violation
9 notices shall certify as to the correctness of the facts
10 entered on the violation notice by signing his or her name
11 to the notice at the time of service or in the case of a
12 notice produced by a computerized device, by signing a
13 single certificate to be kept by the traffic compliance
14 administrator attesting to the correctness of all notices
15 produced by the device while it was under his or her
16 control. In the case of an automated traffic law violation,
17 the ordinance shall require a determination by a technician
18 employed or contracted by the municipality or county that,
19 based on inspection of recorded images, the motor vehicle
20 was being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6,
21 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance. If the
22 technician determines that the vehicle entered the
23 intersection as part of a funeral procession or in order to
24 yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, a citation
25 shall not be issued. In municipalities with a population of
26 less than 1,000,000 inhabitants and counties with a

HB5561- 920 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 population of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the
2 automated traffic law ordinance shall require that all
3 determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was
4 being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9,
5 or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and
6 approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law
7 enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing
8 the violation. In municipalities with a population of
9 1,000,000 or more inhabitants and counties with a
10 population of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the automated
11 traffic law ordinance shall require that all
12 determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was
13 being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9,
14 or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and
15 approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law
16 enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing
17 the violation or by an additional fully-trained reviewing
18 technician who is not employed by the contractor who
19 employs the technician who made the initial determination.
20 In the case of an automated speed enforcement system
21 violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by a
22 technician employed by the municipality, based upon an
23 inspection of recorded images, video or other
24 documentation, including documentation of the speed limit
25 and automated speed enforcement signage, and documentation
26 of the inspection, calibration, and certification of the

HB5561- 921 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 speed equipment, that the vehicle was being operated in
2 violation of Article VI of Chapter 11 of this Code or a
3 similar local ordinance. If the technician determines that
4 the vehicle speed was not determined by a calibrated,
5 certified speed equipment device based upon the speed
6 equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was an emergency
7 vehicle, a citation may not be issued. The automated speed
8 enforcement ordinance shall require that all
9 determinations by a technician that a violation occurred be
10 reviewed and approved by a law enforcement officer or
11 retired law enforcement officer of the municipality
12 issuing the violation or by an additional fully trained
13 reviewing technician who is not employed by the contractor
14 who employs the technician who made the initial
15 determination. Routine and independent calibration of the
16 speeds produced by automated speed enforcement systems and
17 equipment shall be conducted annually by a qualified
18 technician. Speeds produced by an automated speed
19 enforcement system shall be compared with speeds produced
20 by lidar or other independent equipment. Radar or lidar
21 equipment shall undergo an internal validation test no less
22 frequently than once each week. Qualified technicians
23 shall test loop based equipment no less frequently than
24 once a year. Radar equipment shall be checked for accuracy
25 by a qualified technician when the unit is serviced, when
26 unusual or suspect readings persist, or when deemed

HB5561- 922 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 necessary by a reviewing technician. Radar equipment shall
2 be checked with the internal frequency generator and the
3 internal circuit test whenever the radar is turned on.
4 Technicians must be alert for any unusual or suspect
5 readings, and if unusual or suspect readings of a radar
6 unit persist, that unit shall immediately be removed from
7 service and not returned to service until it has been
8 checked by a qualified technician and determined to be
9 functioning properly. Documentation of the annual
10 calibration results, including the equipment tested, test
11 date, technician performing the test, and test results,
12 shall be maintained and available for use in the
13 determination of an automated speed enforcement system
14 violation and issuance of a citation. The technician
15 performing the calibration and testing of the automated
16 speed enforcement equipment shall be trained and certified
17 in the use of equipment for speed enforcement purposes.
18 Training on the speed enforcement equipment may be
19 conducted by law enforcement, civilian, or manufacturer's
20 personnel and if applicable may be equivalent to the
21 equipment use and operations training included in the Speed
22 Measuring Device Operator Program developed by the
23 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
24 The vendor or technician who performs the work shall keep
25 accurate records on each piece of equipment the technician
26 calibrates and tests. As used in this paragraph,

HB5561- 923 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b

2 has received at least 40 hours of supervised training in
3 subjects which shall include image inspection and
4 interpretation, the elements necessary to prove a
5 violation, license plate identification, and traffic
6 safety and management. In all municipalities and counties,
7 the automated speed enforcement system or automated
8 traffic law ordinance shall require that no additional fee
9 shall be charged to the alleged violator for exercising his
10 or her right to an administrative hearing, and persons
11 shall be given at least 25 days following an administrative
12 hearing to pay any civil penalty imposed by a finding that
13 Section 11-208.6, 11-208.8, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a
14 similar local ordinance has been violated. The original or
15 a facsimile of the violation notice or, in the case of a
16 notice produced by a computerized device, a printed record
17 generated by the device showing the facts entered on the
18 notice, shall be retained by the traffic compliance
19 administrator, and shall be a record kept in the ordinary
20 course of business. A parking, standing, compliance,
21 automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic
22 law violation notice issued, signed and served in
23 accordance with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the
24 computer generated record shall be prima facie correct and
25 shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the
26 facts shown on the notice. The notice, copy, or computer

HB5561- 924 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b

4 owner of the vehicle cited in the parking, standing,
5 compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or
6 automated traffic law violation notice in which the owner
7 may contest the merits of the alleged violation, and during
8 which formal or technical rules of evidence shall not
9 apply; provided, however, that under Section 11-1306 of
10 this Code the lessee of a vehicle cited in the violation
11 notice likewise shall be provided an opportunity for a
12 hearing of the same kind afforded the registered owner. The
13 hearings shall be recorded, and the person conducting the
14 hearing on behalf of the traffic compliance administrator
15 shall be empowered to administer oaths and to secure by
16 subpoena both the attendance and testimony of witnesses and
17 the production of relevant books and papers. Persons
18 appearing at a hearing under this Section may be
19 represented by counsel at their expense. The ordinance may
20 also provide for internal administrative review following
21 the decision of the hearing officer.

9 incomplete traffic education program or unpaid fine or
10 penalty, or both, rendered a judgment as provided by
11 this Section, or, where applicable, may result in

15 (7) Final determinations of violation liability. A
16 final determination of violation liability shall occur

21 administrative review procedures provided by ordinance.
22 Where a person fails to appear at a hearing to contest the
23 alleged violation in the time and manner specified in a
24 prior mailed notice, the hearing officer's determination
25 of violation liability shall become final: (A) upon denial
26 of a timely petition to set aside that determination, or

HB5561- 929 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 (B) upon expiration of the period for filing the petition
2 without a filing having been made.
3 (8) A petition to set aside a determination of parking,
4 standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
5 or automated traffic law violation liability that may be
6 filed by a person owing an unpaid fine or penalty. A
7 petition to set aside a determination of liability may also
8 be filed by a person required to complete a traffic
9 education program. The petition shall be filed with and
10 ruled upon by the traffic compliance administrator in the
11 manner and within the time specified by ordinance. The
12 grounds for the petition may be limited to: (A) the person
13 not having been the owner or lessee of the cited vehicle on
14 the date the violation notice was issued, (B) the person
15 having already completed the required traffic education
16 program or paid the fine or penalty, or both, for the
17 violation in question, and (C) excusable failure to appear
18 at or request a new date for a hearing. With regard to
19 municipalities or counties with a population of 1 million
20 or more, it shall be grounds for dismissal of a parking
21 violation if the state registration number or vehicle make,
22 only if specified in the violation notice, is incorrect.
23 After the determination of parking, standing, compliance,
24 automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic
25 law violation liability has been set aside upon a showing
26 of just cause, the registered owner shall be provided with

HB5561- 930 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 a hearing on the merits for that violation.

5 attending a hearing.
6 (10) A schedule of civil fines for violations of
7 vehicular standing, parking, compliance, automated speed
8 enforcement system, or automated traffic law regulations
9 enacted by ordinance pursuant to this Section, and a
10 schedule of penalties for late payment of the fines or

12 provided, however, that the total amount of the fine and
13 penalty for any one violation shall not exceed $250, except
14 as provided in subsection (c) of Section 11-1301.3 of this
15 Code.
16 (11) Other provisions as are necessary and proper to
17 carry into effect the powers granted and purposes stated in
18 this Section.
19 (c) Any municipality or county establishing vehicular
20standing, parking, compliance, automated speed enforcement
21system, or automated traffic law regulations under this Section
22may also provide by ordinance for a program of vehicle
23immobilization for the purpose of facilitating enforcement of
24those regulations. The program of vehicle immobilization shall
25provide for immobilizing any eligible vehicle upon the public
26way by presence of a restraint in a manner to prevent operation

HB5561- 931 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1of the vehicle. Any ordinance establishing a program of vehicle
2immobilization under this Section shall provide:
3 (1) Criteria for the designation of vehicles eligible
4 for immobilization. A vehicle shall be eligible for
5 immobilization when the registered owner of the vehicle has
6 accumulated the number of incomplete traffic education
7 programs or unpaid final determinations of parking,
8 standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
9 or automated traffic law violation liability, or both, as
10 determined by ordinance.
11 (2) A notice of impending vehicle immobilization and a
12 right to a hearing to challenge the validity of the notice
13 by disproving liability for the incomplete traffic
14 education programs or unpaid final determinations of
15 parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
16 system, or automated traffic law violation liability, or
17 both, listed on the notice.
18 (3) The right to a prompt hearing after a vehicle has
19 been immobilized or subsequently towed without the
20 completion of the required traffic education program or
21 payment of the outstanding fines and penalties on parking,
22 standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system,
23 or automated traffic law violations, or both, for which
24 final determinations have been issued. An order issued
25 after the hearing is a final administrative decision within
26 the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil

HB5561- 932 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1 Procedure.
2 (4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice
3 advising the registered owner of the vehicle of the right
4 to a hearing to challenge the validity of the impoundment.
5 (d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking,
6standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or
7automated traffic law violations and final administrative
8decisions issued after hearings regarding vehicle
9immobilization and impoundment made under this Section shall be
10subject to the provisions of the Administrative Review Law.
11 (e) Any fine, penalty, incomplete traffic education
12program, or part of any fine or any penalty remaining unpaid
13after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust,
14administrative remedies created under this Section and the
15conclusion of any judicial review procedures shall be a debt
16due and owing the municipality or county and, as such, may be
17collected in accordance with applicable law. Completion of any
18required traffic education program and payment in full of any
19fine or penalty resulting from a standing, parking, compliance,
20automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
21violation shall constitute a final disposition of that
22violation.
23 (f) After the expiration of the period within which
24judicial review may be sought for a final determination of
25parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
26system, or automated traffic law violation, the municipality or

HB5561- 933 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1county may commence a proceeding in the Circuit Court for
2purposes of obtaining a judgment on the final determination of
3violation. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a municipality
4or county from consolidating multiple final determinations of
5parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
6system, or automated traffic law violations against a person in
7a proceeding. Upon commencement of the action, the municipality
8or county shall file a certified copy or record of the final
9determination of parking, standing, compliance, automated
10speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation,
11which shall be accompanied by a certification that recites
12facts sufficient to show that the final determination of
13violation was issued in accordance with this Section and the
14applicable municipal or county ordinance. Service of the
15summons and a copy of the petition may be by any method
16provided by Section 2-203 of the Code of Civil Procedure or by
17certified mail, return receipt requested, provided that the
18total amount of fines and penalties for final determinations of
19parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
20system, or automated traffic law violations does not exceed
21$2500. If the court is satisfied that the final determination
22of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement
23system, or automated traffic law violation was entered in
24accordance with the requirements of this Section and the
25applicable municipal or county ordinance, and that the
26registered owner or the lessee, as the case may be, had an

HB5561- 934 -LRB101 17547 JWD 66965 b
1opportunity for an administrative hearing and for judicial
2review as provided in this Section, the court shall render
3judgment in favor of the municipality or county and against the
4registered owner or the lessee for the amount indicated in the
5final determination of parking, standing, compliance,
6automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
7violation, plus costs. The judgment shall have the same effect
8and may be enforced in the same manner as other judgments for
9the recovery of money.
10 (g) The fee for participating in a traffic education
11program under this Section shall not exceed $25.
12 A low-income individual required to complete a traffic
13education program under this Section who provides proof of
14eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under
15Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned
16income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax
17Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a
18required traffic education program.
