Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
35 ILCS 120/2-27 (35 ILCS 120/2-27) Sec. 2-27. Prepaid telephone calling arrangements. "Prepaid telephone calling arrangements" mean the right to exclusively purchase telephone or telecommunications services that must be paid for in advance and enable the origination of one or more intrastate, interstate, or international telephone calls or other telecommunications using an access number, an authorization code, or both, whether manually or electronically dialed, for which payment to a retailer must be made in advance, provided that, unless recharged, no further service is provided once that prepaid amount of service has been consumed, and provided further that, on and after January 1, 2025, the telephone or telecommunications services included in such arrangement are obtained through the purchase of a preloaded phone, calling card, or other item of tangible personal property. Prepaid telephone calling arrangements include the recharge of a prepaid calling arrangement if and only if, on and after January 1, 2025, the additional telephone or telecommunications services included in the recharge are obtained through the purchase of a preloaded phone, calling card, or other item of tangible personal property. For purposes of this Section, "recharge" means the purchase of additional prepaid telephone or telecommunications services whether or not the purchaser acquires a different access number or authorization code. For purposes of this Section, "telecommunications" means that term as defined in Section 2 of the Telecommunications Excise Tax Act. "Prepaid telephone calling arrangement" does not include an arrangement whereby the service provider reflects the amount of the purchase as a credit on an account for a customer under an existing subscription plan, nor, on and after January 1, 2025, does it include a recharge that is not obtained through the purchase of a preloaded phone, calling card, or other item of tangible personal property.(Source: P.A. 103-781, eff. 8-5-24.) |
