A BILL FOR
		HB4211		LRB104 16370 HLH 29757 b
    AN ACT concerning revenue.
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
    Section 5. The Motor Fuel Tax Law is amended by changing
Section 2 as follows:
    (35 ILCS 505/2)  (from Ch. 120, par. 418)
    Sec. 2. A tax is imposed on the privilege of operating
motor vehicles upon the public highways and recreational-type
watercraft upon the waters of this State.
    (a) Prior to August 1, 1989, the tax is imposed at the rate
of 13 cents per gallon on all motor fuel used in motor vehicles
operating on the public highways and recreational type
watercraft operating upon the waters of this State. Beginning
on August 1, 1989 and until January 1, 1990, the rate of the
tax imposed in this paragraph shall be 16 cents per gallon.
Beginning January 1, 1990 and until July 1, 2019, the rate of
tax imposed in this paragraph, including the tax on compressed
natural gas, shall be 19 cents per gallon. Beginning July 1,
2019 and until July 1, 2020, the rate of tax imposed in this
paragraph shall be 38 cents per gallon. Beginning July 1, 2020
and until July 1, 2021, the rate of tax imposed in this
paragraph shall be 38.7 cents per gallon. Beginning July 1,
2021 and until January 1, 2023, the rate of tax imposed in this
		HB4211	- 2 -	LRB104 16370 HLH 29757 b
paragraph shall be 39.2 cents per gallon. On January 1, 2023,
the rate of tax imposed in this paragraph shall be increased by
an amount equal to the percentage increase, if any, in the
Consumer Price Index for the 12 months ending in September of
2022. On July 1, 2023, and on July 1 of each subsequent year, 
except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the rate of
tax imposed in this paragraph shall be increased by an amount
equal to the percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer
Price Index for the 12 months ending in March of the year in
which the increase takes place. The percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index shall be calculated as follows: (1)
calculate the average Consumer Price Index for the full 12
months ending in March of the year in which the increase takes
place; (2) calculate the average Consumer Price Index for the
full 12 months ending in March of the year immediately
preceding the year in which the increase takes place; (3)
calculate the percentage increase, if any, in the current-year
average determined under item (1) over the preceding-year
average determined under item (2). The rate shall be rounded
to the nearest one-tenth of one cent. Notwithstanding the 
provisions of this Section, the increase described in this 
subsection based on the Consumer Price Index shall not occur 
from July 1, 2026 until July 1, 2027.
    (a-5) Beginning on July 1, 2022 and through December 31,
2022, each retailer of motor fuel shall cause the following
notice to be posted in a prominently visible place on each
		HB4211	- 3 -	LRB104 16370 HLH 29757 b
retail dispensing device that is used to dispense motor fuel
in the State of Illinois: "As of July 1, 2022, the State of
Illinois has suspended the inflation adjustment to the motor
fuel tax through December 31, 2022. The price on this pump
should reflect the suspension of the tax increase." The notice
shall be printed in bold print on a sign that is no smaller
than 4 inches by 8 inches. The sign shall be clearly visible to
customers. Any retailer who fails to post or maintain a
required sign through December 31, 2022 is guilty of a petty
offense for which the fine shall be $500 per day per each
retail premises where a violation occurs.
    (b) Until July 1, 2019, the tax on the privilege of
operating motor vehicles which use diesel fuel, liquefied
natural gas, or propane shall be the rate according to
paragraph (a) plus an additional 2 1/2 cents per gallon.
Beginning July 1, 2019, the tax on the privilege of operating
motor vehicles which use diesel fuel, liquefied natural gas,
or propane shall be the rate according to subsection (a) plus
an additional 7.5 cents per gallon. "Diesel fuel" is defined
as any product intended for use or offered for sale as a fuel
for engines in which the fuel is injected into the combustion
chamber and ignited by pressure without electric spark.
    (c) A tax is imposed upon the privilege of engaging in the
business of selling motor fuel as a retailer or reseller on all
motor fuel used in motor vehicles operating on the public
highways and recreational type watercraft operating upon the
		HB4211	- 4 -	LRB104 16370 HLH 29757 b
waters of this State: (1) at the rate of 3 cents per gallon on
motor fuel owned or possessed by such retailer or reseller at
12:01 a.m. on August 1, 1989; and (2) at the rate of 3 cents
per gallon on motor fuel owned or possessed by such retailer or
reseller at 12:01 A.M. on January 1, 1990.
    Retailers and resellers who are subject to this additional
tax shall be required to inventory such motor fuel and pay this
additional tax in a manner prescribed by the Department of
Revenue.
    The tax imposed in this paragraph (c) shall be in addition
to all other taxes imposed by the State of Illinois or any unit
of local government in this State.
    (d) Except as provided in Section 2a, the collection of a
tax based on gallonage of gasoline used for the propulsion of
any aircraft is prohibited on and after October 1, 1979, and
the collection of a tax based on gallonage of special fuel used
for the propulsion of any aircraft is prohibited on and after
December 1, 2019.
    (e) The collection of a tax, based on gallonage of all
products commonly or commercially known or sold as 1-K
kerosene, regardless of its classification or uses, is
prohibited (i) on and after July 1, 1992 until December 31,
1999, except when the 1-K kerosene is either: (1) delivered
into bulk storage facilities of a bulk user, or (2) delivered
directly into the fuel supply tanks of motor vehicles and (ii)
on and after January 1, 2000. Beginning on January 1, 2000, the
		HB4211	- 5 -	LRB104 16370 HLH 29757 b
collection of a tax, based on gallonage of all products
commonly or commercially known or sold as 1-K kerosene,
regardless of its classification or uses, is prohibited except
when the 1-K kerosene is delivered directly into a storage
tank that is located at a facility that has withdrawal
facilities that are readily accessible to and are capable of
dispensing 1-K kerosene into the fuel supply tanks of motor
vehicles. For purposes of this subsection (e), a facility is
considered to have withdrawal facilities that are not "readily
accessible to and capable of dispensing 1-K kerosene into the
fuel supply tanks of motor vehicles" only if the 1-K kerosene
is delivered from: (i) a dispenser hose that is short enough so
that it will not reach the fuel supply tank of a motor vehicle
or (ii) a dispenser that is enclosed by a fence or other
physical barrier so that a vehicle cannot pull alongside the
dispenser to permit fueling.
    Any person who sells or uses 1-K kerosene for use in motor
vehicles upon which the tax imposed by this Law has not been
paid shall be liable for any tax due on the sales or use of 1-K
kerosene.
    As used in this Section, "Consumer Price Index" means the
index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor that measures the average
change in prices of goods and services purchased by all urban
consumers, United States city average, all items, 1982-84 =
100.
