(35 ILCS 165/10)
Sec. 10.
Re-enactment; findings; purpose; validation.
(a) The General Assembly finds and declares that:
(b) It is the purpose of this Act to prevent or minimize any problems
relating to taxation that may result from challenges to the constitutional
validity of Public Act 85-1135, by (1) re-enacting provisions
from Public Act 85-1135 and (2) validating all actions taken in reliance on
those provisions from Public Act 85-1135.
(c) Because Public Act 86-962, effective January 1, 1990, renumbered
Sections
24a-1, 24a-2, 24a-3, 24a-4, and 25.05 of the Counties Code, this Act contains
those provisions as renumbered under Sections 5-1006, 5-1007, 5-1008, 5-1009,
and 5-1024 of the Counties Code. Because Public Act 86-1475, effective January
10, 1991, resectioned Section 3 of the Use Tax Act, Section 3 of the Service
Use Tax Act, Section 3 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, and Section 2 of the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, this Act contains those provisions as
resectioned under Sections 3, 3-5, 3-10, 3-15, 3-20, 3-25, 3-30, 3-35, 3-40,
3-45, 3-50, 3-55, 3-60, 3-65, 3-70,
3-75, and 3-80 of the Use Tax Act; Sections 3, 3-5, 3-10, 3-15, 3-20, 3-25,
3-30, 3-35, 3-40, 3-45, 3-50, 3-55, 3-60, and 3-65 of the Service Use Tax Act;
Sections 3, 3-5, 3-10, 3-15, 3-20, 3-25, 3-30, 3-35, 3-40, 3-45, and 3-50 of
the Service Occupation Tax Act; and Sections 2, 2-5, 2-10, 2-15, 2-20, 2-25,
2-30, 2-35, 2-40, 2-45, 2-50, 2-55, 2-60, 2-65 of the Retailers' Occupation
Tax Act. Because Public Act 85-1440, effective February 1, 1989, renumbered
Section 6z-16 of the State Finance Act and Section .01 of the State Revenue
Sharing Act, this Act contains those provisions as renumbered under Section
6z-18 of the State Finance Act and Section 0.1 of the State Revenue Sharing
Act. Sections 10b of the Use Tax Act, 10b of the Service Use Tax Act,
20.1 of the Service Occupation Tax Act, and
6d of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act have been omitted from this Act
because they were repealed by Public Act 87-1258, effective January 7, 1993.
(d) This Act re-enacts
Section 1 of Article I of Public Act 85-1135; Sections 8-11-1, 8-11-1.1,
8-11-1.2, 8-11-1.3, 8-11-1.4, 8-11-5, 8-11-6, 8-11-6a, 8-11-16, and 11-74.4-8a
of the Illinois Municipal Code; Sections 5-1006, 5-1007, 5-1008, 5-1009, and
5-1024 of the Counties Code; Section 4 of the Water Commission Act of 1985;
Section 5.01 of the Local Mass Transit District Act; Sections 4.01, 4.03, 4.04,
and 4.09 of the Regional Transportation Authority Act; Sections 3, 3-5, 3-10,
3-15, 3-20, 3-25, 3-30, 3-35, 3-40, 3-45, 3-50, 3-55, 3-60, 3-65,
3-70, 3-75, 3-80, 9, and 10b of the Use Tax Act; Sections 2, 3, 3-5, 3-10,
3-15, 3-20, 3-25, 3-30, 3-35, 3-40, 3-45, 3-50, 3-55, 3-60, 3-65, 3d, 7a, 9,
10, 10b, and 15 of the Service Use Tax Act; Sections 2, 3, 3-5, 3-10, 3-15,
3-20, 3-25, 3-30, 3-35, 3-40, 3-45, 3-50, 9, 13, 15, and 20.1 of the Service
Occupation Tax Act; Sections 2, 2-5, 2-10, 2-15, 2-20, 2-25, 2-30, 2-35, 2-40,
2-45, 2-50, 2-55, 2-60, 2-65, 3, 5k, and 6d of the Retailers' Occupation Tax
Act; Sections 5.240, 5.241, 6z-9, 6z-17, and 6z-18 of the State Finance Act;
Sections 0.1 and 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act; and Sections 1 and 2 of
Article V of Public Act 85-1135 as they have been amended. It also re-repeals
Sections 25.05a, 25.05-2, 25.05-2a, 25.05-3, 25.05-3a, 25.05-10, 25.05-10a, and
25.05-10.1 of "An Act to revise the law in relation to counties" and Sections
10 and 14 of the Service Occupation Tax Act.
This re-enactment and re-repeal is intended to remove any questions as to the
validity or content of those Sections; it is not intended to supersede any
other Public Act that amends the text of a Section as set forth in this Act.
The re-enacted material in this Act is shown as existing text (i.e., without
underscoring) because, as of the time this Act was prepared, the order
declaring P.A. 85-1135 invalid has been vacated.
(e) In Sections 100 and 900 of this Act, references to "this amendatory
Act of 1988" mean Public Act 85-1135, as re-enacted by this Act.
(f) The re-enactment or re-repeal of Sections of Public Act 85-1135 by
this Act is not intended, and shall not be construed, to imply that Public Act
85-1135 is invalid or to limit or impair any legal argument (1) upholding the
validity of Public Act 85-1135 or (2) concerning whether the provisions of
Public Act 85-1135 were substantially re-enacted by other Public Acts.
(g) All otherwise lawful actions taken in reasonable reliance on or pursuant
to the Sections re-enacted by this Act, as set forth in Public Act 85-1135 or
subsequently amended, by any officer, employee, agency, or unit of State or
local government or by any other person or entity, are hereby validated.
With respect to actions taken in relation to matters arising under the
Sections re-enacted by this Act, as set forth in Public Act 85-1135 or
subsequently amended, a person is rebuttably presumed to have acted in
reasonable reliance on and pursuant to the provisions of Public Act 85-1135,
as those provisions had been amended at the time the action was taken.
(h) With respect to its administration of matters arising under the
Sections re-enacted by this Act, the Department of Revenue shall continue to
apply the provisions of Public Act 85-1135, as those provisions had been
amended at the relevant time.
(i) This Act applies, without limitation, to proceedings pending
on or after the effective date of this Act.

(35 ILCS 165/100)
Sec. 100.

Section 1 of Article 1 of Public Act 85-1135 (which is
incorrectly shown as Section 12 in the Laws of Illinois) is re-enacted as
follows:
(P.A. 85-1135, Art. I, Sec. 1)
Sec. 1.
It is the intent of the 85th General Assembly that:
(a) the abolition of the authority of municipalities and counties to
impose occupation and use taxes, and the corresponding concurrent increase
of the state rate of such taxes with a corresponding distribution to such
municipalities and counties pursuant to this amendatory Act of 1988, shall
remain in full force and effect on a permanent basis;
(b) there shall be no reduction or redistribution as to proportional
amount of such corresponding distribution received by such municipalities
and counties except as expressly provided in this amendatory Act of 1988;
(c) there shall be no reduction of the rate or base of such taxes
except as expressly provided in this amendatory Act of 1988;
(d) there shall be no limitation on the use of monies received by such
municipalities and counties except as expressly provided in this amendatory
Act of 1988;
(e) the distribution of occupation tax revenues to municipalities and
counties shall remain on the basis of point of sale;
(f) tax revenues collected pursuant to the State use tax Acts on
interstate transactions involving transfer of tangible personal property
shall be distributed in accordance with the formula established by this
amendatory Act of 1988 for State use taxes; and
(g) repeal of the statutory authority of municipalities and counties to
impose local retailers' occupation taxes, use taxes, and service occupation
taxes shall not be so construed as to impair the provisions of any
development, redevelopment, annexation, preannexation or other lawful
agreement which describes or refers to receipts from any of such taxes,
but, rather, any such description or reference to such taxes shall be given
effect as if reference were made in such agreement to the replacement
revenue for such abolished taxes received from the Local Government Tax
Fund, County and Mass Transit Tax Fund or Local Government
Distributive Fund, as the case may be.
