303303 15 systems located at non-high speed rail grade crossings. In
304304 16 entering orders for projects for which payments from the Grade
305305 17 Crossing Protection Fund will be made, the Commission shall
306306 18 account for expenditures authorized by the orders on a cash
307307 19 rather than an accrual basis. For purposes of this requirement
308308 20 an "accrual basis" assumes that the total cost of the project
309309 21 is expended in the fiscal year in which the order is entered,
310310 22 while a "cash basis" allocates the cost of the project among
311311 23 fiscal years as expenditures are actually made. To meet the
312312 24 requirements of this subsection, the Illinois Commerce
313313 25 Commission shall develop annual and 5-year project plans of
314314 26 rail crossing capital improvements that will be paid for with

519519 15 total mileage of township or district roads in the respective
520520 16 counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
521521 17 district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
522522 18 counties for the use of road districts therein shall be

526526 22 total mileage of all such township or district roads in the
527527 23 county. After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation
528528 24 shall be made for any road district unless it levied a tax for

620620 8 special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
621621 9 purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
622622 10 district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment

628628 16 and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
629629 17 tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax
630630 18 levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in

651651 3 full allotment if, at the time the property tax extension
652652 4 limitation was imposed, the road district was levying a road
653653 5 and bridge tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor
654654 6 fuel tax allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable
655655 7 amount after the imposition of the property tax extension
656656 8 limitation. Any road district may in all circumstances retain
657657 9 its entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
658658 10 2011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
659659 11 and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
660660 12 the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
661661 13 rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
662662 14 property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
663663 15 preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
664664 16 by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
665665 17 equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
666666 18 jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
667667 19 As used in this Section, the term "road district" means
668668 20 any road district, including a county unit road district,
669669 21 provided for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term
670670 22 "township or district road" means any road in the township and
671671 23 district road system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code.
672672 24 For the purposes of this Section, "township or district road"
673673 25 also includes such roads as are maintained by park districts,
674674 26 forest preserve districts and conservation districts. The

701701 17 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to any
702702 18 other tax that may be imposed, a municipality in a county with

704704 20 ordinance, a tax upon all persons engaged in the municipality
705705 21 in the business of selling motor fuel, as defined in the Motor
706706 22 Fuel Tax Law, at retail for the operation of motor vehicles

720720 2 fuel sold at retail within the municipality for the purpose of
721721 3 use or consumption and not for the purpose of resale. The tax
722722 4 may not be imposed under this Section on aviation fuel, as

724724 6 Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority
725725 7 granted in this Section may reimburse themselves for their
726726 8 seller's tax liability hereunder by separately stating that
727727 9 tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in
728728 10 combination, in a single amount, with State tax which sellers
729729 11 are required to collect under the Use Tax Act, pursuant to such
730730 12 bracket schedules as the Department may prescribe.
731731 13 A tax imposed pursuant to this Section, and all civil
732732 14 penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof, shall
733733 15 be administered, collected, and enforced by the Department of
734734 16 Revenue in the same manner as the tax imposed under the
735735 17 Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, as now or hereafter amended,
736736 18 insofar as may be practicable; except that in the event of a
737737 19 conflict with the provisions of this Section, this Section
738738 20 shall control. The Department of Revenue shall have full power
739739 21 to: administer and enforce this Section; collect all taxes and
740740 22 penalties due hereunder; dispose of taxes and penalties so
741741 23 collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and determine
742742 24 all rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the
743743 25 erroneous payment of tax or penalty hereunder.

761761 7 The Department shall immediately pay over to the State
762762 8 Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties
763763 9 collected under this Section. Those taxes and penalties shall
764764 10 be deposited into the Municipal Motor Fuel Tax Fund, a trust
765765 11 fund created in the State treasury. Moneys in the Municipal
766766 12 Motor Fuel Tax Fund shall be used to make payments to

772772 18 municipalities for which taxpayers have paid taxes or
773773 19 penalties hereunder to the Department during the second
774774 20 preceding calendar month. The amount to be paid to each

776776 22 memoranda) collected under this Section from retailers within
777777 23 the municipality during the second preceding calendar month by
778778 24 the Department, plus an amount the Department determines is

796796 6 to the municipality, less 1.5% of the remainder, which the
797797 7 Department shall transfer into the Tax Compliance and
798798 8 Administration Fund. The Department, at the time of each
799799 9 monthly disbursement, shall prepare and certify to the State
800800 10 Comptroller the amount to be transferred into the Tax
801801 11 Compliance and Administration Fund under this Section. Within
802802 12 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller of the disbursement
803803 13 certification to the municipalities and the Tax Compliance and
804804 14 Administration Fund provided for in this Section to be given
805805 15 to the Comptroller by the Department, the Comptroller shall
806806 16 cause the orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in
807807 17 accordance with the directions contained in the certification.
808808 18 Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize a
809809 19 municipality to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in
810810 20 any business which under the Constitution of the United States
811811 21 may not be made the subject of taxation by this State.

836836 10 to impose the tax in accordance with the provisions of this
837837 11 Section as amended by this amendatory Act of the 101st General
838838 12 Assembly and shall be administered by the Department of

843843 17 that imposes the tax in accordance with the provisions of this
