 1                    AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 1176

 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 1176  on  page  1,
 3    immediately below line 3, by inserting the following:

 4        "Section 1.1.  Short title.  This Act may be cited as the
 5    Motor Fuel Consumer Relief Tax Act.

 6        Section  1.5.  Legislative intent.  The goals of this Act
 7    are to grant relief to the consumer of  Illinois  motor  fuel
 8    and,  at  the  same  time,  to  bring  in the revenue that is
 9    necessary to meet current State fiscal  needs.   These  goals
10    can  best  be  met  by  reverse-indexing  the  State  use and
11    occupation taxes on motor fuel to the price of motor fuel  so
12    that  if  the  price of motor fuel goes up, the percentage of
13    tax imposed on motor fuel will decrease, and vice versa.

14        Section 1.10.  Definitions.  As used in this Act:
15        "Department" means the Illinois Department of Revenue.

16        Section 1.15.   Department to determine amount of revenue
17    generated by State use and occupation taxes  on  motor  fuel.
18    The  Department  of  Revenue  must  determine, before July 1,
19    2001, the average quarterly  revenues  earned  by  the  State
20    through  the  State's portion of the use and occupation taxes
 
                            -2-            LRB9205953SMdvam07
 1    on motor fuel during the 3 State fiscal years 1999, 2000, and
 2    2001.

 3        Section 1.20.  Department to  determine  quarterly  motor
 4    fuel  usage  and price.  The Department must estimate, before
 5    June 30, 2001, Illinois motor fuel usage by  volume  for  the
 6    quarter  beginning  on  July 1, 2001 and the expected average
 7    sales price  of  motor  fuel  in  Illinois  for  the  quarter
 8    beginning  on  July  1,  2001.  For  each quarter thereafter,
 9    before the end of the quarter  preceding  that  quarter,  the
10    Department  must estimate Illinois motor fuel usage by volume
11    for that quarter and the  expected  average  sales  price  of
12    motor fuel in Illinois for that quarter.

13        Section   1.25.   Department  to  estimate  tax  revenues
14    required to maintain current revenue levels.  The Department,
15    using  the  estimates  generated  in   Section   1.20,   must
16    determine,  before  June  30,  2001,  what  the State use and
17    occupation tax rate on the selling price of motor fuel  would
18    have to be for the quarter beginning on July 1, 2001 to bring
19    in the same amount of State use and occupation tax revenue in
20    the  quarter  beginning on July 1, 2001 as was brought in, on
21    average, during the same quarter in State fiscal years  1999,
22    2000,  and 2001.  For each quarter thereafter, before the end
23    of the quarter preceding that quarter,  the  Department  must
24    determine  what  the State use and occupation tax rate on the
25    selling price of motor fuel would have to be for that quarter
26    to bring in the same amount of use and occupation tax revenue
27    in that quarter as was brought in,  on  average,  during  the
28    same quarter in State fiscal years 1999, 2000, and 2001.

29        Section  1.30.  Rate of State use and occupation taxes on
30    motor  fuel.    Beginning  on  July  1,  2001,  the  use  and
31    occupation tax imposed on motor fuel shall  be  at  the  rate
 
                            -3-            LRB9205953SMdvam07

 2    the  Service  Use  Tax  Act,  Section  3-10  of  the  Service
 3    Occupation Tax  Act,  and  Section  2-10  of  the  Retailers'
 4    Occupation Tax Act, as applicable."; and

 8        Sec.  3-10.   Rate  of tax.  Unless otherwise provided in
 9    this Section, the tax imposed by this Act is at the  rate  of
10    6.25%  of  either the selling price or the fair market value,
11    if any, of the tangible  personal  property.   In  all  cases
12    where  property  functionally used or consumed is the same as
13    the property that was purchased at retail, then  the  tax  is
14    imposed  on  the selling price of the property.  In all cases
15    where property functionally used or consumed is a  by-product
16    or  waste  product  that  has  been refined, manufactured, or
17    produced from property purchased at retail, then the  tax  is
18    imposed on the lower of the fair market value, if any, of the
19    specific  property  so  used  in this State or on the selling
20    price of the property purchased at retail.  For  purposes  of
21    this  Section  "fair  market  value" means the price at which
22    property would change hands between a  willing  buyer  and  a
23    willing  seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or
24    sell and both having reasonable  knowledge  of  the  relevant
25    facts. The fair market value shall be established by Illinois
26    sales   by   the  taxpayer  of  the  same  property  as  that
27    functionally used or consumed, or if there are no such  sales
28    by  the  taxpayer,  then  comparable  sales  or  purchases of
29    property of like kind and character in Illinois.
