13    (a) Any person selling new or used tires at retail or
14offering new or used tires for retail sale in this State shall:
15        (1) beginning on June 20, 2003 (the effective date of
16    Public Act 93-32), collect from retail customers a fee of

20    of 10 cents per tire to be retained by the retail seller
21    and a collection allowance of 10 cents per tire to be
22    retained by the Department of Revenue and paid into the
23    General Revenue Fund; the collection allowance for retail
24    sellers, however, shall be allowed only if the return is
25    filed timely and in the manner required by this Title XIV
		HB5490	- 3 -	LRB104 18405 BDA 31847 b
1    and only for the amount that is paid timely in accordance
2    with this Title XIV;

12    new tires purchased; and
13        (3) post in a conspicuous place a written notice at
14    least 8.5 by 11 inches in size that includes the universal
15    recycling symbol and the following statements: "DO NOT put

17    "State law requires us to accept used tires for recycling,
18    in exchange for new tires purchased.".
19    (b) A person who accepts used tires for recycling under
20subsection (a) shall not allow the tires to accumulate for
21periods of more than 90 days.
22    (c) The requirements of subsection (a) of this Section do
23not apply to mail order sales nor shall the retail sale of a
24motor vehicle be considered to be the sale of tires at retail
25or offering of tires for retail sale. Instead of filing
26returns, retailers of tires may remit the tire user fee to
		HB5490	- 4 -	LRB104 18405 BDA 31847 b
1their suppliers of tires if the supplier of tires is a
2registered retailer of tires and agrees or otherwise arranges
3to collect and remit the tire fee to the Department of Revenue,
4notwithstanding the fact that the sale of the tire is a sale
5for resale and not a sale at retail. A tire supplier who enters
6into such an arrangement with a tire retailer shall be liable
7for the tax on all tires sold to the tire retailer and must (i)
8provide the tire retailer with a receipt that separately
9reflects the tire tax collected from the retailer on each
10transaction and (ii) accept used tires for recycling from the
11retailer's customers. The tire supplier shall be entitled to
12the collection allowance of 10 cents per tire, but only if the
13return is filed timely and only for the amount that is paid
14timely in accordance with this Title XIV.
15    The retailer of the tires must maintain in its books and
16records evidence that the appropriate fee was paid to the tire
17supplier and that the tire supplier has agreed to remit the fee
18to the Department of Revenue for each tire sold by the
19retailer. Otherwise, the tire retailer shall be directly
20liable for the fee on all tires sold at retail. Tire retailers
21paying the fee to their suppliers are not entitled to the
22collection allowance of 10 cents per tire. The collection
23allowance for suppliers, however, shall be allowed only if the
24return is filed timely and in the manner required by this Title
25XIV and only for the amount that is paid timely in accordance
26with this Title XIV.
		HB5490	- 5 -	LRB104 18405 BDA 31847 b
1    (d) The requirements of subsection (a) of this Section
2shall apply exclusively to tires to be used for vehicles
3defined in Section 1-217 of the Illinois Vehicle Code,
4aircraft tires, special mobile equipment, and implements of
5husbandry.
6    (e) The requirements of paragraph (1) of subsection (a) do
7not apply to the sale of reprocessed tires. For purposes of
