 | 
| 5 |  |  "Section 5. The Public Utilities Act is amended by changing  | 
| 6 |  | Section 2-203 as follows:
 | 
| 7 |  |  (220 ILCS 5/2-203)
 | 
| 8 |  |  (Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2014)
 | 
| 9 |  |  Sec. 2-203. Public Utility Fund base maintenance  | 
| 10 |  | contribution. Each electric
utility as defined in Section  | 
| 11 |  | 16-102 of this Act providing service to more than
12,500  | 
| 12 |  | customers in this State on January 1, 1995 shall contribute  | 
| 13 |  | annually a
pro rata share of a total amount of $5,500,000 based  | 
| 14 |  | upon the number of
kilowatt-hours delivered to retail customers  | 
| 15 |  | within this State by each such
electric utility in the 12  | 
| 16 |  | months preceding the year of contribution. On or
before May 1  | 
|     | 
| |  |  | 09800SB2335ham004 | - 2 - | LRB098 07039 MGM 49570 a | 
 | 
|  | 
| 1 |  | of each year, the Illinois Commerce Commission shall determine  | 
| 2 |  | and
notify the Illinois Department of Revenue of the pro rata  | 
| 3 |  | share owed by each
electric utility based upon information  | 
| 4 |  | supplied annually to the Commission. On
or before June 1 of  | 
| 5 |  | each year, the Department of Revenue shall send written
 | 
| 6 |  | notification to each electric utility of the amount of pro rata  | 
| 7 |  | share they owe.
These contributions shall be remitted to the  | 
| 8 |  | Department of Revenue no earlier than
July 1 and no later than  | 
| 9 |  | July 31 of each year the contribution is due on a
return  | 
| 10 |  | prescribed and
furnished by the Department of Revenue showing  | 
| 11 |  | such information as the
Department of Revenue may reasonably  | 
| 12 |  | require. The Department of Revenue shall
place the funds  | 
| 13 |  | remitted under this Section in the Public Utility Fund in the
 | 
| 14 |  | State treasury. The funds received pursuant to this Section  | 
| 15 |  | shall be subject to
appropriation by the General Assembly. If  | 
| 16 |  | an electric utility does
not remit its pro rata share to the  | 
| 17 |  | Department of Revenue, the Department of
Revenue must inform  | 
| 18 |  | the Illinois Commerce Commission of such failure. The
Illinois  | 
| 19 |  | Commerce Commission may then revoke the certification of that  | 
| 20 |  | electric
utility. This Section is repealed on April 1, 2015  | 
| 21 |  | January 1, 2014.
