1watercraft upon waterways. The tax may be imposed, in one cent
2increments, at a rate not to exceed $0.03 per gallon of motor
3fuel sold at retail within the municipality for the purpose of
4use or consumption and not for the purpose of resale. The tax
5may not be imposed under this Section on aviation fuel, as
6defined in Section 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.
7    For purposes of this Section, a municipality is "in a
8county with a population of over 3,000,000 inhabitants" if any
9portion of the territory of the municipality is located in
10such a county. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section
11to the contrary, a municipality whose territory lies partially
12in a county with a population of over 3,000,000 inhabitants
13and partially outside such a county may, in the alternative,
14impose the tax authorized under this Section in only that
15portion of the municipality that lies in a county with a
16population of over 3,000,000 inhabitants.
17    Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
18granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
19seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating that
20tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
21combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
22are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
23bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
24    A tax imposed pursuant to this Section, and all civil
25penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof, shall
26be administered, collected, and enforced by the Department of

 

 

10200HB5189sam004- 3 -LRB102 24779 JDS 42005 a

1Revenue in the same manner as the tax imposed under the
2Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, as now or hereafter amended,
3insofar as may be practicable; except that in the event of a
4conflict with the provisions of this Section, this Section
5shall control. The Department of Revenue shall have full power
6to: administer and enforce this Section; collect all taxes and
7penalties due hereunder; dispose of taxes and penalties so
8collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and determine
9all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the
10erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.
11    Whenever the Department determines that a refund shall be
12made under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a
13credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
14Comptroller, who shall cause the order to be drawn for the
15amount specified, and to the person named, in the notification
16from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
17Treasurer out of the Municipal Motor Fuel Tax Fund.
18    The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
19Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
20collected under this Section. Those taxes and penalties shall
21be deposited into the Municipal Motor Fuel Tax Fund, a trust
22fund created in the State treasury. Moneys in the Municipal
23Motor Fuel Tax Fund shall be used to make payments to
24municipalities and for the payment of refunds under this
25Section.

3municipalities for which taxpayers have paid taxes or

5preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each
6municipality shall be the amount (not including credit
7memoranda) collected under this Section from retailers within
8the municipality during the second preceding calendar month by
9the Department, plus an amount the Department determines is
10necessary to offset amounts that were erroneously paid to a
11different municipality, and not including an amount equal to
12the amount of refunds made during the second preceding
13calendar month by the Department on behalf of the
14municipality, and not including any amount that the Department
15determines is necessary to offset any amounts that were
16payable to a different municipality but were erroneously paid

19Administration Fund. The Department, at the time of each
20monthly disbursement, shall prepare and certify to the State
