Bill Summary
Amends the County Motor Fuel Tax Law in the Counties Code. Provides that any county (currently, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will, and McHenry counties only) may impose a tax upon all persons engaged in the business of selling motor fuel. Provides that, in addition to other uses currently allowed by law, the proceeds from the tax shall be used for the purpose of maintaining and constructing essential transportation-related infrastructure.
AI Summary
This bill expands the authority for counties to impose a motor fuel tax, allowing any county, not just the current five (DuPage, Kane, Lake, Will, and McHenry), to levy a tax on businesses selling motor fuel at retail. The bill also broadens the allowable uses for the tax revenue to include maintaining and constructing essential transportation-related infrastructure, in addition to existing uses like highway and waterway improvements. The Illinois Department of Revenue will continue to administer and collect this tax, similar to how it handles the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act.
