AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 102

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 102 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by adding Section 8-11-2.3 as follows:

(65 ILCS 5/8-11-2.3 new)

Sec. 8-11-2.3. Motor fuel tax. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to any other tax that may be imposed, if a municipality adopts a responsible bid ordinance that is approved by the Department of Transportation, then the municipality may also impose, by ordinance, a tax on motor fuel at a rate not to exceed $0.03 per gallon. Upon approval, the Department of Transportation shall certify the responsible bid ordinance to the Department of Revenue. The Department of Revenue shall proceed to administer and enforce the motor fuel tax as of the first day of January next following the adoption of the motor fuel tax ordinance. The Department of Transportation shall adopt rules for the approval of responsible bid ordinances. The Department of Revenue shall adopt rules for the implementation and administration of the motor fuel tax.

A license that is issued to a distributor or a receiver under the Motor Fuel Tax Law shall permit that distributor or receiver to act as a distributor or receiver, as applicable, under this Section. The provisions of Sections 2b, 2d, 6, 6a, 12, 12a, 13, 13a.2, 13a.7, 13a.8, 15.1, and 21 of the Motor Fuel Tax Law that are not inconsistent with this Section shall apply as far as practicable to the subject matter of this Section to the same extent as if those provisions were included in this Section.

The Department shall immediately pay over to the State Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties collected under this Section. Those taxes and penalties shall be deposited into the Municipal Motor Fuel Tax Fund, a trust fund created in the State treasury. Moneys in the Municipal Motor Fuel Tax Fund shall be used to make payments to municipalities and for the payment of refunds under this Section. The amount to be paid to each municipality shall be the amount (not including credit memoranda) collected by the Department from the tax imposed by that municipality under this Section during the second preceding calendar month, plus an amount the Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to a different municipality, and not including an amount equal to the amount of refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by the Department on behalf of the municipality, and not including any amount that the Department determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were payable to a different municipality but were erroneously paid to the municipality, less 1.5% of the remainder, which the Department shall transfer into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund. The Department, at the time of each monthly disbursement, shall prepare and certify to the State Comptroller the amount to be transferred into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund under this Section. Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of the disbursement certification to the municipalities and the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund provided for in this Section to be given to the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance with the directions contained in the certification.

Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect January 1, 2020.".
