12    (other than an electric cooperative,  a  school  district  or

17        distributed by the taxpayer  in  this  State  during  the
18        taxable period, 0.031 cents per kilowatt-hour;
19             (ii)  For   the  next  1,000,000,000  kilowatt-hours
20        distributed by the taxpayer  in  this  State  during  the
21        taxable period, 0.050 cents per kilowatt-hour;

24        taxable period, 0.070 cents per kilowatt-hour;
25             (iv)  For  the  next  4,000,000,000  killowatt-hours

28             (v)  For   the   next  7,000,000,000  kilowatt-hours
29        distributed by the taxpayer  in  this  State  during  the
30        taxable period, 0.180 cents per kilowatt-hour;
31             (vi)  For  the  next  3,000,000,000  killowatt-hours

 1        distributed  by  the  taxpayer  in  this State during the
 2        taxable period, 0.142 cents per kilowatt-hour; and
 3             (vii)  For all  kilowatt-hours  distributed  by  the
 4        taxpayer  in  this  State  during  the  taxable period in
 5        excess of 18,000,000,000 kilowatt-hours, 0.131 cents  per
 6        killowatt-hour.
 7        (b)  There  is  imposed on electric cooperatives that are
 8    required to file reports with the Rural Utilities  Service  a
 9    tax equal to 0.8% of that such cooperative's invested capital
10    for  the  taxable period. The invested capital tax imposed by
11    this subsection shall not be imposed on electric cooperatives
12    not  required  to  file  reports  with  the  Rural  Utilities
13    Service.
14        (c)  If,  for  any  taxable  period,  the  total   amount
15    received by the Department from the tax imposed by subsection
16    (a) exceeds $145,279,553 plus, for taxable periods subsequent
17    to  1998, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% or (ii) the
18    percentage increase in the Consumer Price  Index  during  the
19    immediately  preceding  taxable  period,  of the total amount
20    received by the Department from the tax imposed by subsection
21    (a) for the immediately preceding taxable period,  determined
22    after   allowance   of   the  credit  provided  for  in  this
23    subsection, the Department shall issue  credit  memoranda  in
24    the  aggregate  amount of the excess to each of the taxpayers
25    who paid any amount of tax  under  subsection  (a)  for  that
26    taxable period in the proportion which the amount paid by the
27    taxpayer   bears  to  the  total  amount  paid  by  all  such
28    taxpayers.  Any credit memorandum issued to a taxpayer  under
29    this  subsection  may  be  used  as  a credit by the taxpayer
30    against its liability in future taxable periods for tax under
31    subsection (a). Any amount credited to a taxpayer  shall  not
32    be  refunded to the taxpayer unless the taxpayer demonstrates
33    to the reasonable satisfaction of the Department that it will
34    not incur future liability for tax under subsection (a).  The
                            -3-                LRB9009283KDpk
 1    Department  shall  adopt  reasonable  regulations   for   the
 2    implementation of the provisions of this subsection.
