    For purpose of this subsection, the quantity of drycleaning
solvents used annually shall be determined as follows:
        (1) in the case of an initial applicant, the quantity
    of drycleaning solvents that the applicant estimates will
    be used during his or her initial license year. A fee
    assessed under this subdivision is subject to audited
    adjustment for that year; or
        (2) in the case of a renewal applicant, the quantity of
    drycleaning solvents actually purchased in the preceding
    license year.
    The Council may adjust licensing fees annually based on the
published Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers ("CPI-U")
or as otherwise determined by the Council.
    (d) A license issued under this Section shall expire one
year after the date of issuance and may be renewed on
reapplication to the Council and submission of proof of payment
of the appropriate fee to the Department of Revenue in
accordance with subsections (c) and (e). At least 30 days
before payment of a renewal licensing fee is due, the Council
shall attempt to:
        (1) notify the operator of each licensed drycleaning
    facility concerning the requirements of this Section; and
        (2) submit a license fee payment form to the licensed
    operator of each drycleaning facility.
    (e) An operator of a drycleaning facility shall submit the
appropriate application form provided by the Council with the
license fee in the form of cash, credit card, business check,
or guaranteed remittance, or credit card to the Department of
Revenue. The Department may accept payment of the license fee
under this Section by credit card only if the Department is not
required to pay a discount fee charged by the credit card
issuer. The license fee payment form and the actual license fee
payment shall be administered by the Department of Revenue
under rules adopted by that Department.
    (f) The Department of Revenue shall issue a proof of
payment receipt to each operator of a drycleaning facility who
has paid the appropriate fee in cash or by guaranteed
remittance, or credit card, or business check. However, the
Department of Revenue shall not issue a proof of payment
receipt to a drycleaning facility that is liable to the
Department of Revenue for a tax imposed under this Act. The
original receipt shall be presented to the Council by the
operator of a drycleaning facility.
    (g) (Blank).
    (h) The Council and the Department of Revenue may adopt
rules as necessary to administer the licensing requirements of
this Act.
