 1        AN  ACT  to  amend  the  Gas  Revenue Tax Act by changing
 2    Section 2a.1.

 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:

 5        Section  5.   The  Gas  Revenue  Tax  Act  is  amended by
 6    changing Section 2a.1 as follows:

 7        (35 ILCS 615/2a.1) (from Ch. 120, par. 467.17a.1)
 8        Sec. 2a.1.  Imposition of tax on  invested  capital.   In
 9    addition  to the taxes imposed by the Illinois Income Tax Act
10    and Section 2 of this  Act,  there  is  hereby  imposed  upon
11    persons  engaged  in the business of distributing, supplying,
12    furnishing or selling gas and subject to the tax  imposed  by
13    this  Act  (other  than  a  school  district or unit of local
14    government as defined in Section 1  of  Article  VII  of  the
15    Illinois  Constitution  of  1970),  an  additional  tax in an
16    amount equal to .8% of such persons' invested capital for the
17    taxable period.  If such persons  are  not  liable  for  such
18    additional tax for the entire taxable period, such additional
19    tax  shall  be  computed on the portion of the taxable period
20    during which such persons were  liable  for  such  additional
21    tax.  The  invested capital tax imposed by this Section shall
22    not be imposed upon persons who  are  not  regulated  by  the
23    Illinois  Commerce  Commission.  Provided, in the case of any
24    person which is subject to the invested capital  tax  imposed
25    by  this  Section and which is also subject to the tax on the
26    distribution of electricity imposed by Section  2a.1  of  the
27    Public  Utilities  Revenue Act, for taxable periods beginning
28    on or after January 1, 1998, the invested capital tax imposed
29    by this Section shall be the lesser of (i) an amount equal to
30    0.8% of such person's invested capital for the taxable period
31    multiplied by a  fraction  the  numerator  of  which  is  the

 1    average of the beginning and ending balances of such person's
 2    gross  gas  utility  plant  in service and the denominator of
 3    which is the average of the beginning and ending balances  of
 4    such  person's  gross  electric  and  gas  utility  plant  in
 5    service,  as  set forth in such person's annual report to the
 6    Illinois Commerce Commission for the taxable period, or  (ii)
 7    an  amount equal to 0.8% of the person's invested capital for
 8    the taxable period ended December 31, 1996  multiplied  by  a
 9    fraction  the  numerator  of  which  is  the  average  of the
10    beginning and ending  balances  of  the  person's  gross  gas
11    utility  plant in service and the denominator of which is the
12    average of the beginning and ending balances of the  person's
13    gross  electric and gas utility plant in service as set forth
14    in the  person's  annual  report  to  the  Illinois  Commerce
15    Commission  for  the  taxable  period ended December 31, 1996
16    modified by an adjustment factor.  The adjustment factor is a
17    ratio the numerator of which is the average of the  beginning
18    and  ending  balances  of  the  person's  gross  gas plant in
19    service for the taxable period  and the denominator of  which
20    is  the  average  of the beginning and ending balances of the
21    person's gross gas plant in service for  the  taxable  period
22    ended  December 31, 1996, as set forth in the person's annual
23    reports to the Illinois Commerce Commission for such  taxable
24    periods.
