| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 2069 by replacing | ||||||
3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. The Gas Revenue Tax Act is amended by changing | ||||||
5 | Section 2 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (35 ILCS 615/2) (from Ch. 120, par. 467.17)
| ||||||
7 | Sec. 2. Tax imposed; rate; phase-out for residential | ||||||
8 | customers.
| ||||||
9 | (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), a
A tax is | ||||||
10 | imposed upon persons engaged in the business of
distributing, | ||||||
11 | supplying, furnishing or selling gas to persons for use or
| ||||||
12 | consumption and not for resale at the rate of 2.4 cents per | ||||||
13 | therm of all
gas which is so distributed, supplied, furnished, | ||||||
14 | sold or
transported to or for each customer in
the course of | ||||||
15 | such business, or 5% of the gross receipts
received from each | ||||||
16 | customer from
such business, whichever is the lower rate as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | applied to each customer
for that customer's billing period, | ||||||
2 | provided that any change in rate
imposed by this amendatory
Act | ||||||
3 | of 1985 shall become effective only with bills having a meter | ||||||
4 | reading
date on or after January 1, 1986. However, such
taxes | ||||||
5 | are not imposed with
respect to any business in interstate | ||||||
6 | commerce, or otherwise to the extent
to which such business may | ||||||
7 | not, under the Constitution and statutes of the
United States, | ||||||
8 | be made the subject of taxation by this State.
| ||||||
9 | Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1985 shall impose a tax | ||||||
10 | with respect
to any transaction with respect to which no tax | ||||||
11 | was imposed immediately
preceding the
effective date of this | ||||||
12 | amendatory Act of 1985.
| ||||||
13 | Beginning with bills issued to customers on and after | ||||||
14 | October 1, 2003, no
tax shall be
imposed under this Act on | ||||||
15 | transactions with customers who incur a tax liability
under the
| ||||||
16 | Gas Use Tax Law.
| ||||||
17 | (b) Each July 1, beginning on July 1, 2007, the rate of the | ||||||
18 | tax imposed under this Section for gas that is
distributed, | ||||||
19 | supplied, furnished, sold, or transported to a
residential | ||||||
20 | customer is reduced by $0.006 per therm until the rate of the | ||||||
21 | tax is zero. In no case, however, shall the tax under this | ||||||
22 | Section be imposed with respect to gas that is
distributed, | ||||||
23 | supplied, furnished, sold, or transported to a
residential | ||||||
24 | customer on or after July 1, 2011. | ||||||
25 | For purposes of this subsection, "residential customer"
| ||||||
26 | means a customer who is receiving gas or gas service for
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | household purposes that is either (i) distributed to a
dwelling | ||||||
2 | of 2 or fewer units and billed under a residential
rate or (ii) | ||||||
3 | distributed to a dwelling unit or units, billed
under a | ||||||
4 | residential rate, and registered by a separate meter
for each | ||||||
5 | dwelling unit.
| ||||||

| ||||||
7 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
8 | becoming law.".
