(35 ILCS 165/10) Sec. 10. Re-enactment; findings; purpose; validation. (a) The General Assembly finds and declares that: (1) The amendatory provisions of this Act were first enacted by Public Act 85-1135 and all related to taxation. (A) Article I of Public Act 85-1135, effective July 28, 1988, contained provisions stating legislative intent. (B) Article II of Public Act 85-1135, effective January 1, 1990, contained provisions amending or creating 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 24a-1, 24a-2, 24a-3, 24a-4, and 25.05 of "An Act to revise the law in relation to counties"; 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 Northern Illinois Transit Authority Act; Sections 3, 9, and 10b of the Use Tax Act; Sections 2, 3, 3d, 7a, 9, 10, 10b, and 15 of the Service Use Tax Act; Sections 2, 3, 9, 13, 15, and 20.1 of the Service Occupation Tax Act; Sections 2, 3, 5k, and 6d of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act; and Sections 5.240, 5.241, 6z-16, and 6z-17 of the State Finance Act. Article II of Public Act 85-1135, effective January 1, 1990, also contained provisions repealing 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. (C) Article III of Public Act 85-1135, effective September 1, 1988, contained provisions further amending Sections 3 and 9 of the Use Tax Act; Sections 2, 3, and 9 of the Service Use Tax Act; Sections 2, 3, and 9 of the Service Occupation Tax Act; and Sections 2 and 3 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act; and amending Section 2 of the State Revenue Sharing Act. (D) Article IV of Public Act 85-1135, effective July 28, 1988, contained provisions amending Section 6z-9 of the State Finance Act and creating Section .01 of the State Revenue Sharing Act. (E) Article V of Public Act 85-1135, effective July 28, 1988, contained provisions precluding any effect on a pre-existing right, remedy, or liability and authorizing enactment of home rule municipality ordinances. (2) Public Act 85-1135 also contained provisions relating to State bonds and creating the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund loan program. (3) On August 26, 1998, the Cook County Circuit Court entered an order in the case of Oak Park Arms Associates v. Whitley (No. 92 L 51045), in which it found that Public Act 85-1135 violates the single subject clause of the Illinois Constitution (Article IV, Section 8(d)). As of the time this Act was prepared, the order declaring P.A. 85-1135 invalid has been vacated but the case is subject to appeal. (4) The tax provisions of Public Act 85-1135 affect many areas of vital concern to the people of this State. The disruption of the tax reform contained in those provisions could constitute a grave threat to the continued health, safety, and welfare of the people of this State. (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 Northern Illinois Transit 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. (Source: P.A. 104-457, eff. 6-1-26.)

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.
