 4        "Section 5.  The State Finance Act is amended by changing
 5    Sections 6z-18 and 6z-20 as follows:

 6        (30 ILCS 105/6z-18) (from Ch. 127, par. 142z-18)
 7        Sec.  6z-18.   A portion of the money paid into the Local
 8    Government Tax Fund from sales of food for human  consumption
 9    which  is  to  be  consumed off the premises where it is sold
10    (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and  food  which
11    has been prepared for immediate consumption) and prescription
12    and  nonprescription medicines, drugs, medical appliances and
13    insulin, urine testing materials, syringes and  needles  used
14    by  diabetics,  which  occurred  in  municipalities, shall be
15    distributed to each municipality based upon the  sales  which
16    occurred  in  that  municipality.   The  remainder  shall  be
17    distributed  to  each  county  based  upon  the  sales  which
18    occurred in the unincorporated area of that county.
19        A portion of the money paid into the Local Government Tax
20    Fund from the 6.25% general use tax rate on the selling price
21    of  tangible  personal  property  which  is purchased outside
22    Illinois at retail from a retailer and  which  is  titled  or
 
                            -2-            LRB9113285SMdvam05
 1    registered  by any agency of this State's government shall be
 2    distributed to municipalities as provided in this  paragraph.
 3    Each  municipality  shall  receive the amount attributable to
 4    sales  for  which   Illinois   addresses   for   titling   or
 5    registration   purposes   are   given   as   being   in  such
 6    municipality.  The remainder of the money paid into the Local
 7    Government Tax Fund from such sales shall be  distributed  to
 8    counties.   Each county shall receive the amount attributable
 9    to  sales  for  which  Illinois  addresses  for  titling   or
10    registration  purposes  are  given  as  being  located in the
11    unincorporated area of such county.
12        A portion of the money paid into the Local Government Tax
13    Fund from the 6.25% general rate (and, beginning July 1, 2000
14    and through December 31, 2000, the 1.25% rate on  motor  fuel
15    and   gasohol)   on  sales  subject  to  taxation  under  the
16    Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and the Service Occupation  Tax
17    Act,  which  occurred in municipalities, shall be distributed
18    to each municipality, based upon the sales which occurred  in
19    that municipality. The remainder shall be distributed to each
20    county,   based   upon   the  sales  which  occurred  in  the
21    unincorporated area of such county.
22        For the purpose of determining allocation  to  the  local
23    government unit, a retail sale by a producer of coal or other
24    mineral  mined  in  Illinois is a sale at retail at the place
25    where  the  coal  or  other  mineral  mined  in  Illinois  is
26    extracted from the earth.  This paragraph does not  apply  to
27    coal  or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by the
28    seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois  so  that
29    the  sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a
30    sale in interstate or foreign commerce.
31        Whenever the Department determines that a refund of money
32    paid into the Local Government Tax Fund should be made  to  a
33    claimant   instead   of  issuing  a  credit  memorandum,  the
34    Department shall notify  the  State  Comptroller,  who  shall
 
                            -3-            LRB9113285SMdvam05
 1    cause  the order to be drawn for the amount specified, and to
 2    the person named, in such notification from  the  Department.
 3    Such  refund  shall be paid by the State Treasurer out of the
 4    Local Government Tax Fund.
 5        On or before the 25th day of  each  calendar  month,  the
 6    Department  shall  prepare and certify to the Comptroller the
 7    disbursement of stated sums of money to named  municipalities
 8    and  counties,  the  municipalities  and counties to be those
 9    entitled to distribution of taxes or penalties  paid  to  the
10    Department  during  the  second preceding calendar month. The
11    amount to be paid to each municipality or county shall be the
12    amount (not including credit memoranda) collected during  the
13    second  preceding  calendar  month by the Department and paid
14    into the Local  Government  Tax  Fund,  plus  an  amount  the
15    Department  determines  is  necessary  to  offset any amounts
16    which were erroneously paid to a different taxing  body,  and
17    not  including  an amount equal to the amount of refunds made
18    during the second preceding calendar month by the Department,
19    and not including any amount which the Department  determines
20    is  necessary  to  offset  any amounts which are payable to a
21    different taxing  body  but  were  erroneously  paid  to  the
22    municipality or county.  Within 10 days after receipt, by the
23    Comptroller,   of   the  disbursement  certification  to  the
24    municipalities and counties,  provided for in this Section to
25    be  given  to  the  Comptroller  by   the   Department,   the
26    Comptroller  shall  cause  the  orders  to  be  drawn for the
27    respective  amounts  in  accordance   with   the   directions
28    contained in such certification.
29        When  certifying  the amount of monthly disbursement to a
30    municipality or county under  this  Section,  the  Department
31    shall increase or decrease that amount by an amount necessary
32    to  offset  any  misallocation of previous disbursements. The
33    offset amount  shall  be  the  amount  erroneously  disbursed
34    within  the  6  months  preceding the time a misallocation is

 2        The  provisions  directing  the  distributions  from  the
 3    special fund in the  State  Treasury  provided  for  in  this
 4    Section   shall  constitute  an  irrevocable  and  continuing
 5    appropriation of all amounts as provided  herein.  The  State
 6    Treasurer and State Comptroller are hereby authorized to make
 7    distributions as provided in this Section.
 8        In construing any development, redevelopment, annexation,
 9    preannexation  or  other  lawful agreement in effect prior to
10    September 1, 1990, which describes or refers to receipts from
11    a county or municipal retailers' occupation tax, use  tax  or
12    service  occupation  tax  which  now  cannot be imposed, such
13    description or reference  shall  be  deemed  to  include  the
14    replacement  revenue  for  such  abolished taxes, distributed
15    from the Local Government Tax Fund.

 1    mineral mined in Illinois is a sale at retail  at  the  place
 2    where  the  coal  or  other  mineral  mined  in  Illinois  is
 3    extracted  from  the earth.  This paragraph does not apply to
 4    coal or other mineral when it is delivered or shipped by  the
 5    seller  to  the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that
 6    the sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as  a
 7    sale in interstate or foreign commerce.

 9    on  tangible  personal  property  which  is purchased outside
10    Illinois at retail from a retailer and  which  is  titled  or
11    registered  by any agency of this State's government and paid
12    into the County and Mass Transit District  Fund,  the  amount

25    the Authority prior to that date, shall be transferred to the
26    Regional Transportation Authority tax fund.
27        Whenever the Department determines that a refund of money
28    paid into the County and Mass Transit District Fund should be
29    made  to  a  claimant instead of issuing a credit memorandum,
30    the Department shall notify the State Comptroller, who  shall

19        Section  10.   The  Use  Tax  Act  is amended by changing
20    Section 3-10 as follows:

21        (35 ILCS 105/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.3-10)
22        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
23    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
24    6.25% of either the selling price or the fair  market  value,
25    if  any,  of  the  tangible  personal property.  In all cases
26    where property functionally used or consumed is the  same  as
27    the  property  that  was purchased at retail, then the tax is
28    imposed on the selling price of the property.  In  all  cases
29    where  property functionally used or consumed is a by-product
30    or waste product that  has  been  refined,  manufactured,  or
31    produced  from  property purchased at retail, then the tax is
32    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
 
                            -8-            LRB9113285SMdvam05
 1    specific property so used in this State  or  on  the  selling
 2    price  of  the  property purchased at retail. For purposes of
 3    this Section "fair market value" means  the  price  at  which
 4    property  would  change  hands  between a willing buyer and a
 5    willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy  or
 6    sell  and  both  having  reasonable knowledge of the relevant
 7    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
 8    sales  by  the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property   as   that
 9    functionally  used or consumed, or if there are no such sales
10    by the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases  of
11    property of like kind and character in Illinois.
12        Beginning  on July 1, 2000 and through December 31, 2000,
13    with respect to motor fuel, as defined in Section 1.1 of  the
14    Motor  Fuel  Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in Section 3-40
15    of the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
16    The changes made by this amendatory Act of the  91st  General
17    Assembly are exempt from the provisions of Section 3-90.
18        With  respect  to  gasohol,  the  tax imposed by this Act
19    applies to 70% of the proceeds of  sales  made  on  or  after
20    January  1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003, and to 100% of the
21    proceeds of sales made thereafter.
22        With respect to food for human consumption that is to  be
23    consumed  off  the  premises  where  it  is  sold (other than
24    alcoholic beverages, soft drinks,  and  food  that  has  been
25    prepared  for  immediate  consumption)  and  prescription and
26    nonprescription   medicines,   drugs,   medical   appliances,
27    modifications to a motor vehicle for the purpose of rendering
28    it usable by a disabled person, and  insulin,  urine  testing
29    materials, syringes, and needles used by diabetics, for human
30    use,  the  tax is imposed at the rate of 1%. For the purposes
31    of this Section, the term "soft drinks" means  any  complete,
32    finished,    ready-to-use,   non-alcoholic   drink,   whether
33    carbonated or not, including but not limited to  soda  water,
34    cola, fruit juice, vegetable juice, carbonated water, and all
 
                            -9-            LRB9113285SMdvam05
 1    other  preparations commonly known as soft drinks of whatever
 2    kind or description that  are  contained  in  any  closed  or
 3    sealed bottle, can, carton, or container, regardless of size.
 4    "Soft  drinks"  does  not include coffee, tea, non-carbonated
 5    water, infant formula, milk or milk products  as  defined  in
 6    the Grade A Pasteurized Milk and Milk Products Act, or drinks
 7    containing 50% or more natural fruit or vegetable juice.
 8        Notwithstanding  any  other provisions of this Act, "food
 9    for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises
10    where it is sold" includes all food sold  through  a  vending
11    machine,  except  soft  drinks  and  food  products  that are
12    dispensed hot from  a  vending  machine,  regardless  of  the
13    location of the vending machine.
14        If  the  property  that  is  purchased  at  retail from a
15    retailer  is  acquired  outside  Illinois  and  used  outside
16    Illinois before being brought to Illinois for use here and is
17    taxable under this Act, the "selling price" on which the  tax
18    is  computed  shall be reduced by an amount that represents a
19    reasonable allowance for depreciation for the period of prior
20    out-of-state use.

23        Section  15.   The  Service  Use  Tax  Act  is amended by
24    changing Section 3-10 as follows:

25        (35 ILCS 110/3-10) (from Ch. 120, par. 439.33-10)
26        Sec. 3-10.  Rate of tax.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in
27    this  Section,  the tax imposed by this Act is at the rate of
28    6.25% of the selling  price  of  tangible  personal  property
29    transferred  as  an incident to the sale of service, but, for
30    the purpose of computing this tax,  in  no  event  shall  the
31    selling  price be less than the cost price of the property to
32    the serviceman.

 3    Motor Fuel Tax Law, and gasohol, as defined in  Section  3-40
 4    of  the Use Tax Act, the tax is imposed at the rate of 1.25%.
 5    The changes made by this amendatory Act of the  91st  General
 6    Assembly are exempt from the provisions of Section 3-75.
 7        With  respect  to gasohol, as defined in the Use Tax Act,

 9    price  of  property transferred as an incident to the sale of
10    service on or after January 1, 1990, and before July 1, 2003,
11    and to 100% of the selling price thereafter.

13    each  fiscal  year,  sales  of service in which the aggregate
14    annual cost price of tangible personal  property  transferred
15    as  an  incident to the sales of service is less than 35%, or
16    75% in the case of servicemen transferring prescription drugs
17    or servicemen engaged in  graphic  arts  production,  of  the
18    aggregate  annual  total  gross  receipts  from  all sales of
19    service, the tax imposed by this Act shall be  based  on  the
20    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
21    transferred as an incident to the sale of those services.

 1        Sec.  3-10.  Rate  of  tax.  Unless otherwise provided in
 2    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
 3    6.25%  of the "selling price", as defined in Section 2 of the
 4    Service Use Tax Act, of the tangible personal property.   For
 5    the  purpose  of  computing  this  tax, in no event shall the
 6    "selling price" be less than the cost price to the serviceman
 7    of the tangible personal property transferred.   The  selling
 8    price  of each item of tangible personal property transferred
 9    as an incident of a  sale  of  service  may  be  shown  as  a
10    distinct and separate item on the serviceman's billing to the
11    service  customer.  If the selling price is not so shown, the
12    selling price of the tangible personal property is deemed  to
13    be  50%  of  the  serviceman's  entire billing to the service
14    customer.  When, however, a serviceman contracts  to  design,
15    develop,  and  produce  special order machinery or equipment,
16    the  tax  imposed  by  this  Act  shall  be  based   on   the
17    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
18    transferred incident to the completion of the contract.

 4    serviceman's  cost  price  of  the tangible personal property
 5    transferred incident to the sale of those services.
 6        The tax shall be imposed  at  the  rate  of  1%  on  food

 8    to a sale of service subject  to  this  Act  or  the  Service
 9    Occupation  Tax  Act by an entity licensed under the Hospital
