15 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State

18     (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a
19 service occupation tax shall also be imposed at the same rate
20 upon all persons engaged, in the county, in the business of
21 making sales of service, who, as an incident to making those
22 sales of service, transfer tangible personal property within
23 the county as an incident to a sale of service. This tax may
24 not be imposed on sales of food for human consumption that is
25 to be consumed off the premises where it is sold (other than
26 alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and food prepared for

22 than the State rate of tax), 4 (except that the reference to
23 the State shall be to the county), 5, 7, 8 (except that the
24 jurisdiction to which the tax shall be a debt to the extent
25 indicated in that Section 8 shall be the county), 9 (except as

7     Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
8 granted in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their
9 serviceman's tax liability by separately stating the tax as an
10 additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination,
11 in a single amount, with State tax that servicemen are
12 authorized to collect under the Service Use Tax Act, in
13 accordance with such bracket schedules as the Department may
14 prescribe.
15     Whenever the Department determines that a refund should be
16 made under this subsection to a claimant instead of issuing a
17 credit memorandum, the Department shall notify the State
18 Comptroller, who shall cause the warrant to be drawn for the

20 from the Department. The refund shall be paid by the State
21 Treasurer out of the County Public Safety or Transportation

23     Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to authorize
24 the county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
25 any business which under the Constitution of the United States
26 may not be made the subject of taxation by the State.

2 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
3 collected under this Section to be deposited into the County
4 Public Safety or Transportation Retailers' Occupation Tax
5 Fund, which shall be an unappropriated trust fund held outside
6 of the State treasury. On or before the 25th day of each
7 calendar month, the Department shall prepare and certify to the
8 Comptroller the disbursement of stated sums of money to the
9 counties from which retailers have paid taxes or penalties to
10 the Department during the second preceding calendar month. The
11 amount to be paid to each county, and deposited by the county

18 the amount of refunds made during the second preceding calendar
19 month by the Department on behalf of the county and (ii) any
20 amount that the Department determines is necessary to offset

23 receipt by the Comptroller of the disbursement certification to
24 the counties provided for in this Section to be given to the
25 Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall cause the
26 orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance

6 The allocation shall be in an amount equal to the average
7 monthly distribution made to each such county under the
8 preceding paragraph during the preceding calendar year

10 made in March of each year subsequent to the year in which an
11 allocation was made pursuant to this paragraph and the

26 is extracted from the earth. This paragraph does not apply to

2 seller to the purchaser at a point outside Illinois so that the
3 sale is exempt under the United States Constitution as a sale
4 in interstate or foreign commerce.
5     (e) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize
6 a county to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in any
7 business that under the Constitution of the United States may
8 not be made the subject of taxation by this State.
9     (e-5) If a county imposes a tax under this Section, the
10 county board may, by ordinance, discontinue or lower the rate
11 of the tax. If the county board lowers the tax rate or
12 discontinues the tax, a referendum must be held in accordance
13 with subsection (a) of this Section in order to increase the
14 rate of the tax or to reimpose the discontinued tax.
15     (f) Beginning April 1, 1998, the results of any election

17 effecting a change in the rate of tax, or any ordinance
18 lowering the rate or discontinuing the tax, shall be certified
