| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the | ||||||
5 | Reimagining Electric Vehicles in Illinois Act.
| ||||||
6 | Section 5. Purpose. It is the intent of the General | ||||||
7 | Assembly that Illinois should lead the nation in the | ||||||
8 | production of electric vehicles. The General Assembly finds | ||||||
9 | that, through investments in electric vehicle manufacturing, | ||||||
10 | Illinois will be on the forefront of emerging technologies | ||||||
11 | that are currently transforming the auto manufacturing | ||||||
12 | industry. This Act will reduce carbon emissions, create good | ||||||
13 | paying jobs, and generate long-term economic investment in the | ||||||
14 | Illinois business economy. Illinois must aggressively adopt | ||||||
15 | new business development investment tools so that Illinois is | ||||||
16 | more competitive in site location decision-making for | ||||||
17 | manufacturing facilities directly related to the electric | ||||||
18 | vehicle industry. Illinois' long-term development benefits | ||||||
19 | from rational, strategic use of State resources in support of | ||||||
20 | development and growth in the electric vehicle industry. | ||||||
21 | The General Assembly finds that workers are essential to | ||||||
22 | the prosperity of our State's economy and play a critical role | ||||||
23 | in Illinois becoming leader in manufacturing. The General |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Assembly further finds that, for the prosperity of our State, | ||||||
2 | workers in this industry must be afforded high quality jobs | ||||||
3 | that honor the dignity of work. Therefore, the General | ||||||
4 | Assembly finds that it is in the best interest of Illinois to | ||||||
5 | protect the work conditions, worker safety, and worker rights | ||||||
6 | in the manufacturing industry and further finds that employer | ||||||
7 | workplace policies shall be interpreted broadly to protect | ||||||
8 | employees.

any, of the amount of such loss | ||||||
9 | over the sum of the deductions for carryback or

such loss may be carried.
| ||||||
12 | (b) Any loss determined under subsection (a) of this | ||||||

21 | account for the taxable year for a net operating loss | ||||||
22 | carryover under paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (a) | ||||||
23 | of this Section, the loss and net operating loss carryover | ||||||
24 | shall be reduced in an amount equal to the reduction to the net | ||||||
25 | operating loss and net operating loss carryover to the taxable | ||||||
26 | year, respectively, required under Section 108(b)(2)(A) of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||

3 | that is excluded from gross income for the taxable year (but | ||||||
4 | only if the taxable year ends on or after December 31, 2008) | ||||||
5 | under Section 108(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and that | ||||||
6 | would have been allocated and apportioned to this State under | ||||||
7 | Article 3 of this Act but for that exclusion, and the | ||||||
8 | denominator of which is the total amount of discharge of | ||||||
9 | indebtedness income excluded from gross income under Section | ||||||
10 | 108(a) of the Internal Revenue Code for the taxable year. The | ||||||
11 | reduction required under this subsection (c) shall be made | ||||||
12 | after the determination of Illinois net income for the taxable | ||||||
13 | year in which the indebtedness is discharged.
| ||||||
14 | (d) In the case of a corporation (other than a Subchapter S | ||||||
15 | corporation), no carryover deduction shall be allowed under | ||||||

20 | for any taxable year ending on or after December 31, 2021 and | ||||||

18 | Sec. 236. Reimagining Electric Vehicles in Illinois Tax | ||||||
19 | credits. | ||||||
20 | (a) For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, a | ||||||
21 | taxpayer who has entered into an agreement under the | ||||||
22 | Reimagining Electric Vehicles in Illinois Act is entitled to a | ||||||
23 | credit against the taxes imposed under subsections (a) and (b) | ||||||
24 | of Section 201 of this Act in an amount to be determined in the | ||||||
25 | Agreement. The taxpayer may elect to claim the credit, on or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | after January 1, 2025, against its obligation to pay over | ||||||
2 | withholding under Section 704A of this Act as provided in | ||||||
3 | paragraph (6) of subsection (b). If the taxpayer is a | ||||||
4 | partnership or Subchapter S corporation, the credit shall be | ||||||
5 | allowed to the partners or shareholders in accordance with the | ||||||
6 | determination of income and distributive share of income under | ||||||
7 | Sections 702 and 704 and subchapter S of the Internal Revenue | ||||||
8 | Code. The Department, in cooperation with the Department of | ||||||
9 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity, shall adopt rules to | ||||||
10 | enforce and administer the provisions of this Section. This | ||||||
11 | Section is exempt from the provisions of Section 250 of this | ||||||
12 | Act. | ||||||
13 | (b) The credit is subject to the conditions set forth in | ||||||
14 | the agreement and the following limitations: | ||||||
15 | (1) The tax credit may be in the form of either or both | ||||||
16 | the REV Illinois Credit or the REV Construction Jobs | ||||||
17 | Credit (as defined in the Reimagining Electric Vehicles in | ||||||
18 | Illinois Act) and shall not exceed the percentage of | ||||||
19 | incremental income tax and percentage of training costs | ||||||
20 | permitted in that Act and in the agreement with respect to | ||||||
21 | the project. | ||||||
22 | (2) The amount of the credit allowed during a tax year | ||||||
23 | plus the sum of all amounts allowed in prior tax years | ||||||
24 | shall not exceed the maximum amount of credit established | ||||||
25 | in the agreement. | ||||||
26 | (3) The amount of the credit shall be determined on an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | annual basis. Except as applied in a carryover year | ||||||
2 | pursuant to paragraph (4), the credit may not be applied | ||||||
3 | against any State income tax liability in more than 15 | ||||||
4 | taxable years. | ||||||
5 | (4) The credit may not exceed the amount of taxes | ||||||
6 | imposed pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 | ||||||
7 | of this Act. Any credit that is unused in the year the | ||||||
8 | credit is computed may be carried forward and applied to | ||||||
9 | the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the | ||||||
10 | excess credit year. The credit shall be applied to the | ||||||
11 | earliest year for which there is a tax liability. If there | ||||||
12 | are credits from more than one tax year that are available | ||||||
13 | to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be applied | ||||||
14 | first. | ||||||
15 | (5) No credit shall be allowed with respect to any | ||||||
16 | agreement for any taxable year ending after the | ||||||
17 | noncompliance date. Upon receiving notification by the | ||||||
18 | Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity of the | ||||||
19 | noncompliance of a taxpayer with an agreement, the | ||||||
20 | Department shall notify the taxpayer that no credit is | ||||||
21 | allowed with respect to that agreement for any taxable | ||||||
22 | year ending after the noncompliance date, as stated in | ||||||
23 | such notification. If any credit has been allowed with | ||||||
24 | respect to an agreement for a taxable year ending after | ||||||
25 | the noncompliance date for that agreement, any refund paid | ||||||
26 | to the taxpayer for that taxable year shall, to the extent |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of that credit allowed, be an erroneous refund within the | ||||||
2 | meaning of Section 912 of this Act. | ||||||
3 | If, during any taxable year, a taxpayer ceases | ||||||
4 | operations at a project location that is the subject of | ||||||
5 | that agreement with the intent to terminate operations in | ||||||
6 | the State, the tax imposed under subsections (a) and (b) | ||||||
7 | of Section 201 of this Act for such taxable year shall be | ||||||
8 | increased by the amount of any credit allowed under the | ||||||
9 | Agreement for that Project location prior to the date the | ||||||
10 | Taxpayer ceases operations. | ||||||
11 | (6) Instead of claiming the credit against the taxes | ||||||
12 | imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of | ||||||
13 | this Act, with respect to the portion of a REV Illinois | ||||||
14 | Credit that is calculated based on the Incremental Income | ||||||
15 | Tax attributable to new employees and retained employees, | ||||||
16 | the taxpayer may elect, in accordance with the Reimagining | ||||||
17 | Electric Vehicles in Illinois Act, to claim the credit, on | ||||||
18 | or after January 1, 2025, against its obligation to pay | ||||||
19 | over withholding under Section 704A of the Illinois Income | ||||||
20 | Tax Act. Any credit for which a Taxpayer makes such an | ||||||
21 | election shall not be claimed against the taxes imposed | ||||||
22 | under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 of this Act.
| ||||||
23 | (35 ILCS 5/237 new) | ||||||
24 | Sec. 237. REV Illinois Investment Tax credits. | ||||||
25 | (a) For tax years beginning on or after the effective date |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly, a | ||||||
2 | taxpayer shall be allowed a credit against the tax imposed by | ||||||
3 | subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 for investment in | ||||||
4 | qualified property which is placed in service at the site of a | ||||||
5 | REV Illinois Project subject to an agreement between the | ||||||
6 | taxpayer and the Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
7 | Opportunity pursuant to the Reimagining Electric Vehicles in | ||||||
8 | Illinois Act. For partners, shareholders of Subchapter S | ||||||
9 | corporations, and owners of limited liability companies, if | ||||||
10 | the liability company is treated as a partnership for purposes | ||||||
11 | of federal and State income taxation, there shall be allowed a | ||||||
12 | credit under this Section to be determined in accordance with | ||||||
13 | the determination of income and distributive share of income | ||||||
14 | under Sections 702 and 704 and Subchapter S of the Internal | ||||||
15 | Revenue Code. The credit shall be 0.5% of the basis for such | ||||||
16 | property. The credit shall be available only in the taxable | ||||||
17 | year in which the property is placed in service and shall not | ||||||
18 | be allowed to the extent that it would reduce a taxpayer's | ||||||
19 | liability for the tax imposed by subsections (a) and (b) of | ||||||
20 | Section 201 to below zero. The credit shall be allowed for the | ||||||
21 | tax year in which the property is placed in service, or, if the | ||||||
22 | amount of the credit exceeds the tax liability for that year, | ||||||
23 | whether it exceeds the original liability or the liability as | ||||||
24 | later amended, such excess may be carried forward and applied | ||||||
25 | to the tax liability of the 5 taxable years following the | ||||||
26 | excess credit year. The credit shall be applied to the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | earliest year for which there is a liability. If there is | ||||||
2 | credit from more than one tax year that is available to offset | ||||||
3 | a liability, the credit accruing first in time shall be | ||||||
4 | applied first. | ||||||
5 | (b) The term qualified property means property which: | ||||||
6 | (1) is tangible, whether new or used, including | ||||||
7 | buildings and structural components of buildings; | ||||||
8 | (2) is depreciable pursuant to Section 167 of the | ||||||
9 | Internal Revenue Code, except that "3-year property" as | ||||||
10 | defined in Section 168(c)(2)(A) of that Code is not | ||||||
11 | eligible for the credit provided by this Section; | ||||||
12 | (3) is acquired by purchase as defined in Section | ||||||
13 | 179(d) of the Internal Revenue Code; | ||||||
14 | (4) is used at the site of the REV Illinois Project by | ||||||
15 | the taxpayer; and | ||||||
16 | (5) has not been previously used in Illinois in such a | ||||||
17 | manner and by such a person as would qualify for the credit | ||||||
18 | provided by this Section. | ||||||
19 | (c) The basis of qualified property shall be the basis | ||||||
20 | used to compute the depreciation deduction for federal income | ||||||
21 | tax purposes. | ||||||
22 | (d) If the basis of the property for federal income tax | ||||||
23 | depreciation purposes is increased after it has been placed in | ||||||
24 | service at the site of the REV Illinois Project by the | ||||||
25 | taxpayer, the amount of such increase shall be deemed property | ||||||
26 | placed in service on the date of such increase in basis. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (e) The term "placed in service" shall have the same | ||||||
2 | meaning as under Section 46 of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||
3 | (f) If during any taxable year, any property ceases to be | ||||||
4 | qualified property in the hands of the taxpayer within 48 | ||||||
5 | months after being placed in service, or the situs of any | ||||||
6 | qualified property is moved from the REV Illinois Project site | ||||||
7 | within 48 months after being placed in service, the tax | ||||||
8 | imposed under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 201 for such | ||||||
9 | taxable year shall be increased. Such increase shall be | ||||||
10 | determined by (i) recomputing the investment credit which | ||||||
11 | would have been allowed for the year in which credit for such | ||||||
12 | property was originally allowed by eliminating such property | ||||||
13 | from such computation, and (ii) subtracting such recomputed | ||||||
14 | credit from the amount of credit previously allowed. For the | ||||||
15 | purposes of this subsection (f), a reduction of the basis of | ||||||
16 | qualified property resulting from a redetermination of the | ||||||
17 | purchase price shall be deemed a disposition of qualified | ||||||
18 | property to the extent of such reduction.
| ||||||
19 | (35 ILCS 5/704A) | ||||||
20 | Sec. 704A. Employer's return and payment of tax withheld. | ||||||
21 | (a) In general, every employer who deducts and withholds | ||||||
22 | or is required to deduct and withhold tax under this Act on or | ||||||

22 | this paragraph (1) of subsection (c) must be made by | ||||||
23 | electronic funds transfer. | ||||||
24 | (2) Semi-weekly payments. Any employer who withholds | ||||||

2 | for each remaining quarter of that calendar year and for | ||||||
3 | the subsequent calendar year.
| ||||||
4 | (3) Monthly payments. Each employer, other than an | ||||||
5 | employer described in items (1) or (2) of this subsection, | ||||||
6 | shall pay to the Department, on or before the 15th day of | ||||||
7 | each month the taxes withheld or required to be withheld | ||||||
8 | during the immediately preceding month. | ||||||
9 | (4) Payments with returns. Each employer shall pay to | ||||||

13 | return is due and not previously paid to the Department. | ||||||
14 | (d) Regulatory authority. The Department may, by rule: | ||||||
15 | (1) Permit employers, in lieu of the requirements of | ||||||
16 | subsections (b) and (c), to file annual returns due on or | ||||||
17 | before January 31 of the year for taxes withheld or | ||||||
18 | required to be withheld during the previous calendar year | ||||||
19 | and, if the aggregate amounts required to be withheld by | ||||||
20 | the employer under this Article 7 (other than amounts | ||||||
21 | required to be withheld under Section 709.5) do not exceed | ||||||
22 | $1,000 for the previous calendar year, to pay the taxes | ||||||
23 | required to be shown on each such return no later than the | ||||||
24 | due date for such return. | ||||||
25 | (2) Provide that any payment required to be made under | ||||||
26 | subsection (c)(1) or (c)(2) is deemed to be timely to the |
| |||||||

1 | extent paid by electronic funds transfer on or before the | ||||||

12 | and withholds or is required to deduct and withhold tax from a | ||||||
13 | person engaged in domestic service employment, as that term is | ||||||
14 | defined in Section 3510 of the Internal Revenue Code, may | ||||||
15 | comply with the requirements of this Section with respect to | ||||||
16 | such employees by filing an annual return and paying the taxes | ||||||
17 | required to be deducted and withheld on or before the 15th day | ||||||
18 | of the fourth month following the close of the employer's | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Internal Revenue Service on magnetic media or electronically | ||||||
2 | must also be submitted to the Department on magnetic media or | ||||||

12 | (g) For amounts deducted or withheld after December 31, | ||||||
13 | 2009, a taxpayer who makes an election under subsection (f) of | ||||||
14 | Section 5-15 of the Economic Development for a Growing Economy | ||||||
15 | Tax Credit Act for a taxable year shall be allowed a credit | ||||||
16 | against payments due under this Section for amounts withheld | ||||||
17 | during the first calendar year beginning after the end of that | ||||||
18 | taxable year equal to the amount of the credit for the | ||||||
19 | incremental income tax attributable to full-time employees of | ||||||
20 | the taxpayer awarded to the taxpayer by the Department of | ||||||
21 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity under the Economic | ||||||
22 | Development for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act for the | ||||||
23 | taxable year and credits not previously claimed and allowed to | ||||||
24 | be carried forward under Section 211(4) of this Act as | ||||||
25 | provided in subsection (f) of Section 5-15 of the Economic | ||||||
26 | Development for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act. The credit |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | or credits may not reduce the taxpayer's obligation for any | ||||||
2 | payment due under this Section to less than zero. If the amount | ||||||
3 | of the credit or credits exceeds the total payments due under | ||||||
4 | this Section with respect to amounts withheld during the | ||||||
5 | calendar year, the excess may be carried forward and applied | ||||||
6 | against the taxpayer's liability under this Section in the | ||||||
7 | succeeding calendar years as allowed to be carried forward | ||||||
8 | under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or | ||||||
9 | credits shall be applied to the earliest year for which there | ||||||
10 | is a tax liability. If there are credits from more than one | ||||||
11 | taxable year that are available to offset a liability, the | ||||||
12 | earlier credit shall be applied first. Each employer who | ||||||
13 | deducts and withholds or is required to deduct and withhold | ||||||
14 | tax under this Act and who retains income tax withholdings | ||||||
15 | under subsection (f) of Section 5-15 of the Economic | ||||||
16 | Development for a Growing Economy Tax Credit Act must make a | ||||||
17 | return with respect to such taxes and retained amounts in the | ||||||
18 | form and manner that the Department, by rule, requires and pay | ||||||
19 | to the Department or to a depositary designated by the | ||||||
20 | Department those withheld taxes not retained by the taxpayer. | ||||||
21 | For purposes of this subsection (g), the term taxpayer shall | ||||||
22 | include taxpayer and members of the taxpayer's unitary | ||||||
23 | business group as defined under paragraph (27) of subsection | ||||||
24 | (a) of Section 1501 of this Act. This Section is exempt from | ||||||
25 | the provisions of Section 250 of this Act. No credit awarded | ||||||
26 | under the Economic Development for a Growing Economy Tax |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Credit Act for agreements entered into on or after January 1, | ||||||
2 | 2015 may be credited against payments due under this Section. | ||||||
3 | (g-1) For amounts deducted or withheld after December 31, | ||||||
4 | 2024, a taxpayer who makes an election under the Reimagining | ||||||
5 | Electric Vehicles in Illinois Act shall be allowed a credit | ||||||
6 | against payments due under this Section for amounts withheld | ||||||
7 | during the first quarterly reporting period beginning after | ||||||
8 | the certificate is issued equal to the portion of the REV | ||||||
9 | Illinois Credit attributable to the incremental income tax | ||||||
10 | attributable to new employees and retained employees as | ||||||
11 | certified by the Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
12 | Opportunity pursuant to an agreement with the taxpayer under | ||||||
13 | the Reimagining Electric Vehicles in Illinois Act for the | ||||||
14 | taxable year. The credit or credits may not reduce the | ||||||
15 | taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under this Section | ||||||
16 | to less than zero. If the amount of the credit or credits | ||||||
17 | exceeds the total payments due under this Section with respect | ||||||
18 | to amounts withheld during the quarterly reporting period, the | ||||||
19 | excess may be carried forward and applied against the | ||||||
20 | taxpayer's liability under this Section in the succeeding | ||||||
21 | quarterly reporting period as allowed to be carried forward | ||||||
22 | under paragraph (4) of Section 211 of this Act. The credit or | ||||||
23 | credits shall be applied to the earliest quarterly reporting | ||||||
24 | period for which there is a tax liability. If there are credits | ||||||
25 | from more than one quarterly reporting period that are | ||||||
26 | available to offset a liability, the earlier credit shall be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | applied first. Each employer who deducts and withholds or is | ||||||
2 | required to deduct and withhold tax under this Act and who | ||||||
3 | retains income tax withholdings this subsection must make a | ||||||
4 | return with respect to such taxes and retained amounts in the | ||||||
5 | form and manner that the Department, by rule, requires and pay | ||||||
6 | to the Department or to a depositary designated by the | ||||||
7 | Department those withheld taxes not retained by the taxpayer. | ||||||
8 | For purposes of this subsection (g-1), the term taxpayer shall | ||||||
9 | include taxpayer and members of the taxpayer's unitary | ||||||
10 | business group as defined under paragraph (27) of subsection | ||||||
11 | (a) of Section 1501 of this Act. This Section is exempt from | ||||||
12 | the provisions of Section 250 of this Act. | ||||||
13 | (h) An employer may claim a credit against payments due | ||||||
14 | under this Section for amounts withheld during the first | ||||||
15 | calendar year ending after the date on which a tax credit | ||||||
16 | certificate was issued under Section 35 of the Small Business | ||||||
17 | Job Creation Tax Credit Act. The credit shall be equal to the | ||||||
18 | amount shown on the certificate, but may not reduce the | ||||||
19 | taxpayer's obligation for any payment due under this Section | ||||||
20 | to less than zero. If the amount of the credit exceeds the | ||||||
21 | total payments due under this Section with respect to amounts | ||||||
22 | withheld during the calendar year, the excess may be carried | ||||||
23 | forward and applied against the taxpayer's liability under | ||||||
24 | this Section in the 5 succeeding calendar years. The credit | ||||||
25 | shall be applied to the earliest year for which there is a tax | ||||||
26 | liability. If there are credits from more than one calendar |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | year that are available to offset a liability, the earlier | ||||||
2 | credit shall be applied first. This Section is exempt from the | ||||||
3 | provisions of Section 250 of this Act. | ||||||
4 | (i) Each employer with 50 or fewer full-time equivalent | ||||||
5 | employees during the reporting period may claim a credit | ||||||
6 | against the payments due under this Section for each qualified | ||||||
7 | employee in an amount equal to the maximum credit allowable. | ||||||
8 | The credit may be taken against payments due for reporting | ||||||
9 | periods that begin on or after January 1, 2020, and end on or | ||||||
10 | before December 31, 2027. An employer may not claim a credit | ||||||
11 | for an employee who has worked fewer than 90 consecutive days | ||||||
12 | immediately preceding the reporting period; however, such | ||||||
13 | credits may accrue during that 90-day period and be claimed | ||||||
14 | against payments under this Section for future reporting | ||||||
15 | periods after the employee has worked for the employer at | ||||||
16 | least 90 consecutive days. In no event may the credit exceed | ||||||
17 | the employer's liability for the reporting period. Each | ||||||
18 | employer who deducts and withholds or is required to deduct | ||||||
19 | and withhold tax under this Act and who retains income tax | ||||||
20 | withholdings under this subsection must make a return with | ||||||
21 | respect to such taxes and retained amounts in the form and | ||||||
22 | manner that the Department, by rule, requires and pay to the | ||||||
23 | Department or to a depositary designated by the Department | ||||||
24 | those withheld taxes not retained by the employer. | ||||||
25 | For each reporting period, the employer may not claim a | ||||||
26 | credit or credits for more employees than the number of |
| |||||||
| |||||||

2 | current calendar year during the last reporting period of the | ||||||
3 | preceding calendar year. Notwithstanding any other provision | ||||||
4 | of this subsection, an employer shall not be eligible for | ||||||
5 | credits for a reporting period unless the average wage paid by | ||||||
6 | the employer per employee for all employees making less than | ||||||
7 | $55,000 during the reporting period is greater than the | ||||||
8 | average wage paid by the employer per employee for all | ||||||
9 | employees making less than $55,000 during the same reporting | ||||||

11 | For purposes of this subsection (i): | ||||||
12 | "Compensation paid in Illinois" has the meaning ascribed | ||||||
13 | to that term under Section 304(a)(2)(B) of this Act. | ||||||

15 | those terms in the Minimum Wage Law, except that "employee" | ||||||
16 | also includes employees who work for an employer with fewer | ||||||
17 | than 4 employees. Employers that operate more than one | ||||||
18 | establishment pursuant to a franchise agreement or that | ||||||
19 | constitute members of a unitary business group shall aggregate | ||||||
20 | their employees for purposes of determining eligibility for | ||||||
21 | the credit. | ||||||
22 | "Full-time equivalent employees" means the ratio of the | ||||||
23 | number of paid hours during the reporting period and the | ||||||
24 | number of working hours in that period. | ||||||

3 | employees who were paid less than the current required minimum | ||||||
4 | wage during the reporting period prior to each increase in the | ||||||
5 | required minimum wage on January 1. If an employer pays an | ||||||
6 | employee more than the required minimum wage and that employee | ||||||
7 | previously earned less than the required minimum wage, the | ||||||
8 | employer may include the portion that does not exceed the | ||||||
9 | required minimum wage as compensation paid in Illinois to | ||||||
10 | employees who are paid not more than the required minimum | ||||||
11 | wage. | ||||||
12 | (1) 25% for reporting periods beginning on or after | ||||||
13 | January 1, 2020 and ending on or before December 31, 2020; | ||||||

21 | January 1, 2024 and ending on or before December 31, 2024; | ||||||
22 | (6) 5% for reporting periods beginning on or after | ||||||
23 | January 1, 2025 and ending on or before December 31, 2025. | ||||||
24 | The amount computed under this subsection may continue to | ||||||
25 | be claimed for reporting periods beginning on or after January | ||||||
26 | 1, 2026 and: |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (A) ending on or before December 31, 2026 for | ||||||
2 | employers with more than 5 employees; or | ||||||
3 | (B) ending on or before December 31, 2027 for | ||||||
4 | employers with no more than 5 employees. | ||||||
5 | "Qualified employee" means an employee who is paid not | ||||||
6 | more than the required minimum wage and has an average wage | ||||||
7 | paid per hour by the employer during the reporting period | ||||||
8 | equal to or greater than his or her average wage paid per hour | ||||||
9 | by the employer during each reporting period for the | ||||||
10 | immediately preceding 12 months. A new qualified employee is | ||||||
11 | deemed to have earned the required minimum wage in the | ||||||
12 | preceding reporting period. | ||||||
13 | "Reporting period" means the quarter for which a return is | ||||||
14 | required to be filed under subsection (b) of this Section. | ||||||

20 | Sec. 5m. Building materials exemption; electric vehicle | ||||||
21 | manufacturer, electric vehicle component parts manufacturer, | ||||||
22 | and electric vehicle power supply manufacturer. Each retailer | ||||||
23 | who makes a sale of building materials that will be | ||||||
24 | incorporated into real estate in an electric vehicle |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | manufacturing facility, an electric vehicle component parts | ||||||
2 | manufacturing facility, or an electric vehicle power supply | ||||||

6 | Illinois Act for which a certificate of exemption has been | ||||||
7 | issued by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity | ||||||
8 | under the Reimagining Electric Vehicles in Illinois Act, may | ||||||
9 | deduct receipts from such sales when calculating any State or | ||||||
10 | local use and occupation taxes. No retailer who is eligible | ||||||

16 | In addition to any other requirements to document the | ||||||
17 | exemption allowed under this Section, the retailer must obtain | ||||||
18 | from the purchaser's REV Illinois Building Materials Exemption | ||||||
19 | certificate number issued by the Department. A construction | ||||||
20 | contractor or other entity shall not make tax-free purchases | ||||||
21 | unless it has an active REV Illinois Building Materials | ||||||
22 | Exemption Certificate issued by the Department at the time of | ||||||
23 | purchase. | ||||||
24 | Upon request from the electric vehicle manufacturer, | ||||||
25 | electric vehicle component parts manufacturer, or electric | ||||||
26 | vehicle power supply manufacturer certified by the Department |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of Commerce and Economic Opportunity under REV Illinois Act, | ||||||
2 | the Department shall issue a REV Illinois Building Materials | ||||||
3 | Exemption Certificate for each construction contractor or | ||||||
4 | other entity identified by the certified electric vehicle | ||||||
5 | manufacturer, electric vehicle component parts manufacturer, | ||||||

8 | Certificates available to each construction contractor or | ||||||
9 | other entity and the certified electric vehicle manufacturer, | ||||||
10 | electric vehicle component parts manufacturer, or electric | ||||||
11 | vehicle power supply manufacturer. The request for REV | ||||||
12 | Illinois Building Materials Exemption Certificates from the | ||||||
13 | certified electric vehicle manufacturer, electric vehicle | ||||||
14 | component parts manufacturer, or electric vehicle power supply | ||||||
15 | manufacturer to the Department must include the following | ||||||
16 | information: | ||||||
17 | (1) the name and address of the construction | ||||||
18 | contractor or other entity; | ||||||

21 | (3) the estimated amount of the exemption for each | ||||||
22 | construction contractor or other entity for which a | ||||||
23 | request for a REV Illinois Building Materials Exemption | ||||||
24 | Certificate is made, based on a stated estimated average | ||||||
25 | tax rate and the percentage of the contract that consists | ||||||
26 | of materials; |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (4) the period of time over which supplies for the | ||||||
2 | project are expected to be purchased; and | ||||||
3 | (5) other reasonable information as the Department may | ||||||
4 | require, including but not limited to FEIN numbers, to | ||||||
5 | determine if the contractor or other entity, or any | ||||||
6 | partner, or a corporate officer, and in the case of a | ||||||
7 | limited liability company, any manager or member, of the | ||||||
8 | construction contractor or other entity, is or has been | ||||||
9 | the owner, a partner, a corporate officer, and in the case | ||||||
10 | of a limited liability company, a manager or member, of a | ||||||
11 | person that is in default for moneys due to the Department | ||||||
12 | under this Act or any other tax or fee Act administered by | ||||||
13 | the Department. | ||||||
14 | The Department shall issue the REV Illinois Building | ||||||
15 | Materials Exemption Certificates within 3 business days after | ||||||
16 | receipt of request from the certified electric vehicle | ||||||
17 | manufacturer, electric vehicle component parts manufacturer, | ||||||
18 | or electric vehicle power supply manufacturer. This | ||||||
19 | requirement does not apply in circumstances where the | ||||||
20 | Department, for reasonable cause, is unable to issue the | ||||||
21 | Exemption Certificate within 3 business days. The Department | ||||||
22 | may refuse to issue a REV Illinois Building Materials | ||||||
23 | Exemption Certificate if the owner, any partner, or a | ||||||

2 | company, a manager or member, of a person that is in default | ||||||
3 | for moneys due to the Department under this Act or any other | ||||||
4 | tax or fee Act administered by the Department. | ||||||
5 | The REV Illinois Building Materials Exemption Certificate | ||||||
6 | shall contain language stating that if the construction | ||||||
7 | contractor or other entity who is issued the Exemption | ||||||
8 | Certificate makes a tax-exempt purchase, as described in this | ||||||
9 | Section, that is not eligible for exemption under this Section | ||||||
10 | or allows another person to make a tax-exempt purchase, as | ||||||
11 | described in this Section, that is not eligible for exemption | ||||||
12 | under this Section, then, in addition to any tax or other | ||||||
13 | penalty imposed, the construction contractor or other entity | ||||||
14 | is subject to a penalty equal to the tax that would have been | ||||||
15 | paid by the retailer under this Act as well as any applicable | ||||||
16 | local retailers' occupation tax on the purchase that is not | ||||||
17 | eligible for the exemption. | ||||||
18 | The Department, in its discretion, may require that the | ||||||
19 | request for REV Illinois Building Materials Exemption | ||||||
20 | Certificates be submitted electronically. The Department may, | ||||||
21 | in its discretion, issue the Exemption Certificates | ||||||
22 | electronically. The REV Illinois Building Materials Exemption | ||||||
23 | Certificate number shall be designed in such a way that the | ||||||
24 | Department can identify from the unique number on the | ||||||
25 | Exemption Certificate issued to a given construction | ||||||
26 | contractor or other entity, the name of the designated |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | electric vehicle manufacturing, electric vehicle component | ||||||
2 | parts manufacturing, or electric vehicle power supply | ||||||
3 | manufacturing site and the construction contractor or other | ||||||
4 | entity to whom the Exemption Certificate is issued. The REV | ||||||
5 | Illinois Building Materials Exemption Certificate shall | ||||||
6 | contain an expiration date, which shall be no more than 5 years | ||||||
7 | after the date of issuance. At the request of the designated | ||||||
8 | certified electric vehicle manufacturer, electric vehicle | ||||||
9 | component parts manufacturer, or electric vehicle power supply | ||||||
10 | manufacturer, the Department may renew a REV Illinois Building | ||||||
11 | Materials Exemption Certificate. After the Department issues | ||||||
12 | Exemption Certificates for a given designated electric vehicle | ||||||
13 | manufacturing, electric vehicle component parts manufacturing, | ||||||
14 | or electric vehicle power supply manufacturing site, the | ||||||
15 | certified electric vehicle manufacturer, electric vehicle | ||||||
16 | component parts manufacturer, or electric vehicle power supply | ||||||
17 | manufacturer may notify the Department of additional | ||||||
18 | construction contractors or other entities eligible for a REV | ||||||
19 | Illinois Building Materials Exemption Certificate. Upon | ||||||
20 | notification by the certified electric vehicle manufacturer, | ||||||
21 | electric vehicle component parts manufacturer, or electric | ||||||
22 | vehicle power supply manufacturer and subject to the other | ||||||
23 | provisions of this Section, the Department shall issue a REV | ||||||
24 | Illinois Building Materials Exemption Certificate to each | ||||||
25 | additional construction contractor or other entity identified | ||||||
26 | by the certified electric vehicle manufacturer, electric |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | vehicle component parts manufacturer, or electric vehicle | ||||||
2 | power supply manufacturer. A certified electric vehicle | ||||||
3 | manufacturer, electric vehicle component parts manufacturer, | ||||||
4 | or electric vehicle power supply manufacturer may notify the | ||||||
5 | Department to rescind a REV Illinois Building Materials | ||||||
6 | Exemption Certificate previously issued by the Department but | ||||||
7 | that has not yet expired. Upon notification by the certified | ||||||
8 | electric vehicle manufacturer, electric vehicle component | ||||||
9 | parts manufacturer, or electric vehicle power supply | ||||||
10 | manufacturer and subject to the other provisions of this | ||||||
11 | Section, the Department shall issue the rescission of the REV | ||||||
12 | Illinois Building Materials Exemption Certificate to the | ||||||
13 | construction contractor or other entity identified by the | ||||||
14 | certified electric vehicle manufacturer, electric vehicle | ||||||
15 | component parts manufacturer, or electric vehicle power supply | ||||||
16 | manufacturer and provide a copy to the certified electric | ||||||
17 | vehicle manufacturer, electric vehicle component parts | ||||||
18 | manufacturer, or electric vehicle power supply manufacturer. | ||||||
19 | If the Department of Revenue determines that a | ||||||
20 | construction contractor or other entity that was issued an | ||||||
21 | Exemption Certificate under this Section made a tax-exempt | ||||||
22 | purchase, as described in this Section, that was not eligible | ||||||
23 | for exemption under this Section or allowed another person to | ||||||
24 | make a tax-exempt purchase, as described in this Section, that | ||||||
25 | was not eligible for exemption under this Section, then, in | ||||||
26 | addition to any tax or other penalty imposed, the construction |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | contractor or other entity is subject to a penalty equal to the | ||||||
2 | tax that would have been paid by the retailer under this Act as | ||||||
3 | well as any applicable local retailers' occupation tax on the | ||||||
4 | purchase that was not eligible for the exemption. | ||||||
5 | This Section is exempt from the provisions of Section | ||||||
6 | 2-70.
| ||||||
7 | Section 915. The Property Tax Code is amended by adding | ||||||
8 | Section 18-184.15 as follows:
| ||||||
9 | (35 ILCS 200/18-184.15 new) | ||||||
10 | Sec. 18-184.15. REV Illinois project facilities for | ||||||
11 | electric vehicles, electric vehicle component parts, or | ||||||
12 | electric vehicle power supply equipment; abatement. Any taxing | ||||||
13 | district, upon a majority vote of its governing body, may, | ||||||
14 | after determination of the assessed value as set forth in this | ||||||
15 | Code, order the clerk of the appropriate municipality or | ||||||
16 | county to abate any portion of real property taxes otherwise | ||||||
17 | levied or extended by the taxing district on a REV Illinois | ||||||
18 | Project facility owned by an electric vehicle manufacturer, | ||||||
19 | electric vehicle component parts manufacturer, or an electric | ||||||
20 | vehicle power supply manufacturer that is subject to an | ||||||
21 | agreement with the Department of Commerce and Economic | ||||||
22 | Opportunity under Section 45 of the Reimagining Electric | ||||||
23 | Vehicles in Illinois Act, during the period of time such | ||||||
24 | agreement is in effect as specified by the Department of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
| ||||||
2 | Section 920. The Telecommunications Excise Tax Act is | ||||||
3 | amended by changing Section 2 as follows:
| ||||||
4 | (35 ILCS 630/2) (from Ch. 120, par. 2002)
| ||||||
5 | Sec. 2. As used in this Article, unless the context | ||||||
6 | clearly requires
otherwise:
| ||||||
7 | (a) "Gross charge" means the amount paid for the act or
| ||||||
8 | privilege of originating or receiving telecommunications in | ||||||
9 | this State and
for all services and equipment provided in | ||||||
10 | connection therewith by a
retailer, valued in money whether | ||||||
11 | paid in money or otherwise, including
cash, credits, services | ||||||
12 | and property of every kind or nature, and shall be
determined | ||||||
13 | without any deduction on account of the cost of such
| ||||||
14 | telecommunications, the cost of materials used, labor or | ||||||
15 | service costs or
any other expense whatsoever. In case credit | ||||||
16 | is extended, the amount
thereof shall be included only as and | ||||||
17 | when paid.
"Gross charges" for private line service shall | ||||||
18 | include charges imposed at
each channel termination point | ||||||
19 | within this State, charges for the channel
mileage
between | ||||||
20 | each channel termination point within this State, and charges | ||||||
21 | for
that portion
of the interstate inter-office channel | ||||||
22 | provided within Illinois. Charges for
that portion of the | ||||||
23 | interstate inter-office channel provided in Illinois shall
be | ||||||
24 | determined by the retailer as follows: (i) for interstate
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | inter-office channels having 2 channel termination points, | ||||||
2 | only one of which
is in Illinois, 50% of the total charge | ||||||
3 | imposed; or (ii) for interstate
inter-office channels having | ||||||
4 | more than 2 channel termination points, one or
more of which
| ||||||
5 | are in Illinois, an amount equal to the total charge
| ||||||
6 | multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number | ||||||
7 | of channel
termination points within Illinois and the | ||||||
8 | denominator of which is the total
number of channel | ||||||
9 | termination points. Prior to January 1,
2004, any method | ||||||
10 | consistent with this
paragraph or other method that reasonably | ||||||
11 | apportions the total charges for
interstate inter-office | ||||||
12 | channels among the states in which channel terminations
points | ||||||
13 | are located shall be accepted as a reasonable method to | ||||||
14 | determine the
charges for
that portion of the interstate | ||||||
15 | inter-office channel provided within Illinois
for that period. | ||||||
16 | However, "gross charges" shall not include any of the
| ||||||
17 | following:
| ||||||
18 | (1) Any amounts added to a purchaser's bill because of | ||||||
19 | a charge made
pursuant to (i) the tax imposed by this | ||||||
20 | Article; (ii) charges added to
customers' bills pursuant | ||||||
21 | to the provisions of Sections 9-221 or 9-222 of
the Public | ||||||
22 | Utilities Act, as amended, or any similar charges added to
| ||||||
23 | customers' bills by retailers who are not subject to rate | ||||||
24 | regulation by
the Illinois Commerce Commission for the | ||||||
25 | purpose of recovering any of the
tax liabilities or other | ||||||
26 | amounts specified in such provisions of such
Act; (iii) |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the tax imposed by Section 4251 of the Internal Revenue | ||||||
2 | Code;
(iv) 911 surcharges; or (v) the tax imposed by the | ||||||
3 | Simplified Municipal
Telecommunications Tax Act.
| ||||||
4 | (2) Charges for a sent collect telecommunication | ||||||
5 | received outside of the
State.
| ||||||
6 | (3) Charges for leased time on equipment or charges | ||||||
7 | for the storage of
data or information for subsequent | ||||||
8 | retrieval or the processing of data or
information | ||||||
9 | intended to change its form or content. Such equipment
| ||||||
10 | includes, but is not limited to, the use of calculators, | ||||||
11 | computers, data
processing equipment, tabulating equipment | ||||||
12 | or accounting equipment and also
includes the usage of | ||||||
13 | computers under a time-sharing agreement.
| ||||||
14 | (4) Charges for customer equipment, including such | ||||||
15 | equipment that is
leased or rented by the customer from | ||||||
16 | any source, wherein such charges are
disaggregated and | ||||||
17 | separately identified from other charges.
| ||||||
18 | (5) Charges to business enterprises certified under | ||||||
19 | Section 9-222.1
of the Public Utilities Act, as amended, | ||||||
20 | or to electric vehicle manufacturers, electric vehicle | ||||||
21 | component parts manufacturers, or electric vehicle power | ||||||
22 | supply manufacturers at REV Illinois Project sites for | ||||||
23 | which a certificate of exemption has been issued by the | ||||||
24 | Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity under | ||||||
25 | Section 95 of the Reimagining Electric Vehicles in | ||||||
26 | Illinois Act, to the extent of such exemption
and during |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the period of time specified by the Department of Commerce | ||||||
2 | and
Economic Opportunity.
| ||||||
3 | (6) Charges for telecommunications and all services | ||||||
4 | and equipment
provided in connection therewith between a | ||||||
5 | parent corporation and its
wholly owned subsidiaries or | ||||||
6 | between wholly owned subsidiaries when the tax
imposed | ||||||
7 | under this Article has already been paid to a
retailer and | ||||||
8 | only to the extent that the charges between the parent
| ||||||
9 | corporation and wholly owned subsidiaries or between | ||||||
10 | wholly owned
subsidiaries represent expense allocation
| ||||||
11 | between the corporations and not the generation of profit | ||||||
12 | for the
corporation rendering such service.
| ||||||
13 | (7) Bad debts. Bad debt means any portion of a debt | ||||||
14 | that is related
to a sale at retail for which gross charges | ||||||
15 | are not otherwise deductible or
excludable that has become | ||||||
16 | worthless or uncollectable, as determined under
applicable | ||||||
17 | federal income tax standards. If the portion of the debt | ||||||
18 | deemed to
be bad is subsequently paid, the retailer shall | ||||||
19 | report and pay the tax on that
portion during the | ||||||
20 | reporting period in which the payment is made.
| ||||||
21 | (8) Charges paid by inserting coins in coin-operated | ||||||
22 | telecommunication
devices.
| ||||||
23 | (9) Amounts paid by telecommunications retailers under | ||||||
24 | the
Telecommunications Municipal Infrastructure | ||||||
25 | Maintenance Fee Act.
| ||||||
26 | (10) Charges for nontaxable services or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | telecommunications if (i) those
charges are
aggregated
| ||||||
2 | with other
charges for telecommunications that are | ||||||
3 | taxable, (ii) those charges are not
separately stated
on | ||||||
4 | the
customer bill or invoice, and (iii) the retailer can | ||||||
5 | reasonably identify the
nontaxable
charges on
the | ||||||
6 | retailer's books and records kept in the regular course of | ||||||
7 | business. If the
nontaxable
charges cannot reasonably be | ||||||
8 | identified, the gross charge from the sale of both
taxable
| ||||||
9 | and nontaxable services or telecommunications billed on a | ||||||
10 | combined basis shall
be
attributed to the taxable services | ||||||
11 | or telecommunications. The burden of proving
nontaxable
| ||||||
12 | charges
shall be on the retailer of the | ||||||
13 | telecommunications.
| ||||||
14 | (b) "Amount paid" means the amount charged to the | ||||||
15 | taxpayer's service
address in this State regardless of where | ||||||
16 | such amount is billed or paid.
| ||||||
17 | (c) "Telecommunications", in addition to the meaning | ||||||
18 | ordinarily and
popularly ascribed to it, includes, without | ||||||
19 | limitation, messages or
information transmitted through use of | ||||||
20 | local, toll and wide area telephone
service; private line | ||||||
21 | services; channel services; telegraph services;
| ||||||
22 | teletypewriter; computer exchange services; cellular mobile
| ||||||
23 | telecommunications service; specialized mobile radio; | ||||||
24 | stationary two way
radio; paging service; or any other form of | ||||||
25 | mobile and portable one-way or
two-way communications; or any | ||||||
26 | other transmission of messages or
information by electronic or |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | similar means, between or among points by
wire, cable, | ||||||
2 | fiber-optics, laser, microwave, radio, satellite or similar
| ||||||
3 | facilities. As used in this Act, "private line" means a | ||||||
4 | dedicated non-traffic
sensitive service for a single customer, | ||||||
5 | that entitles the customer to
exclusive or priority use of a | ||||||
6 | communications channel or group of channels,
from one or more | ||||||
7 | specified locations to one or more other specified
locations. | ||||||
8 | The definition of "telecommunications" shall not include value
| ||||||
9 | added services in which computer processing applications are | ||||||
10 | used to act on
the form, content, code and protocol of the | ||||||
11 | information for purposes other
than transmission. | ||||||
12 | "Telecommunications" shall not include purchases of
| ||||||
13 | telecommunications by a telecommunications service provider | ||||||
14 | for use as a
component part of the service provided by him to | ||||||
15 | the ultimate retail
consumer who originates or terminates the | ||||||
16 | taxable end-to-end
communications. Carrier access charges, | ||||||
17 | right of access charges, charges
for use of inter-company | ||||||
18 | facilities, and all telecommunications resold in
the | ||||||
19 | subsequent provision of, used as a component of, or integrated | ||||||
20 | into
end-to-end telecommunications service shall be | ||||||
21 | non-taxable as sales for resale.
| ||||||

5 | transmitted,
and delivered by such municipal system or | ||||||
6 | electric cooperative to the
purchaser, whichever is the lower | ||||||
7 | rate as applied to each purchaser in each
billing period.
| ||||||
8 | (c) The tax imposed by this Section 2-4 is not imposed with
| ||||||
9 | respect to any use of electricity by business enterprises
| ||||||
10 | certified under Section 9-222.1 or 9-222.1A of the Public | ||||||
11 | Utilities Act,
as amended, to the extent of such exemption and | ||||||
12 | during the
time specified by the Department of Commerce and | ||||||
13 | Economic Opportunity; or with respect to any transaction in | ||||||
14 | interstate
commerce, or otherwise, to the extent to which such
| ||||||
15 | transaction may not, under the Constitution and statutes of
| ||||||
16 | the United States, be made the subject of taxation by this
| ||||||
17 | State.
| ||||||
18 | (d) The tax imposed by this Section 2-4 is not imposed with | ||||||
19 | respect to any use of electricity at a REV Illinois Project | ||||||
20 | site that has received a certification for tax exemption from | ||||||
21 | the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity pursuant | ||||||
22 | to Section 95 of the Reimagining Electric Vehicles in Illinois | ||||||

25 | (Source: P.A. 94-793, eff. 5-19-06.)
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section 930. The Public Utilities Act is amended by | ||||||
2 | changing Section 9-222 as follows:
| ||||||
3 | (220 ILCS 5/9-222) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 9-222)
| ||||||
4 | Sec. 9-222.
Whenever a tax is imposed upon a public | ||||||
5 | utility
engaged in the business of distributing, supplying,
| ||||||
6 | furnishing, or selling gas for use or consumption pursuant to | ||||||
7 | Section 2 of
the Gas Revenue Tax Act, or whenever a tax is
| ||||||
8 | required to be collected by a delivering supplier pursuant to | ||||||
9 | Section 2-7 of
the Electricity Excise Tax Act, or whenever a | ||||||
10 | tax is imposed upon a public
utility pursuant to Section
2-202 | ||||||
11 | of this Act, such utility may charge its customers, other than
| ||||||
12 | customers who are high impact businesses under Section 5.5
of | ||||||
13 | the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act, electric vehicle | ||||||
14 | manufacturers, electric vehicle component parts manufacturers, | ||||||
15 | or electric vehicle power supply equipment manufacturers at | ||||||
16 | REV Illinois Project sites as certified under Section 95 of | ||||||
17 | the Reimagining Electric Vehicles in Illinois Act, or | ||||||
18 | certified business enterprises
under Section 9-222.1 of this | ||||||
19 | Act, to the extent of such exemption and
during the period in | ||||||
20 | which such exemption is in effect,
in addition to any rate | ||||||
21 | authorized by this Act, an additional
charge equal to the | ||||||
22 | total amount of such taxes. The exemption of this
Section | ||||||
23 | relating to high impact businesses shall be subject to the
| ||||||
24 | provisions of subsections (a), (b), and (b-5) of Section 5.5 | ||||||
25 | of
the Illinois
Enterprise Zone Act. This requirement shall |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | not
apply to taxes on invested capital imposed pursuant to the | ||||||
2 | Messages Tax
Act, the Gas Revenue Tax Act and the Public | ||||||
3 | Utilities Revenue Act.
Such utility shall file with the | ||||||
4 | Commission
a supplemental schedule which shall specify such | ||||||
5 | additional charge and
which shall become effective upon filing | ||||||
6 | without further notice. Such
additional charge shall be shown | ||||||
7 | separately on the utility bill to each
customer. The | ||||||
8 | Commission shall have the power to investigate whether or
not | ||||||
9 | such supplemental schedule correctly specifies such additional | ||||||
10 | charge,
but shall have no power to suspend such supplemental | ||||||
11 | schedule. If the
Commission finds, after a hearing, that such | ||||||
12 | supplemental schedule does not
correctly specify such | ||||||
13 | additional charge, it shall by order require a
refund to the | ||||||
14 | appropriate customers of the excess, if any, with interest,
in | ||||||
15 | such manner as it shall deem just and reasonable, and in and by | ||||||
16 | such
order shall require the utility to file an amended | ||||||
17 | supplemental schedule
corresponding to the finding and order | ||||||
18 | of the Commission.
Except with respect to taxes imposed on | ||||||
19 | invested capital,
such tax liabilities shall be recovered from | ||||||
20 | customers solely by means of
the additional charges authorized | ||||||
21 | by this Section.

22 | (h) This Section is repealed on December 31, 2022.
| ||||||
23 | Section 940. The Motor Vehicle Franchise Act is amended by | ||||||
24 | changing Section 6 as follows:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (815 ILCS 710/6) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 756)
| ||||||
2 | (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 102-232 )
| ||||||
3 | Sec. 6. Warranty agreements; claims; approval; payment; | ||||||
4 | written
disapproval. | ||||||
5 | (a) Every manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, | ||||||
6 | distributor branch
or division, factory branch or division, or | ||||||
7 | wholesale branch or division
shall properly fulfill any | ||||||
8 | warranty agreement and adequately and fairly
compensate each | ||||||
9 | of its motor vehicle dealers for labor and parts.
| ||||||
10 | (b) In no event shall such compensation fail to include | ||||||
11 | reasonable
compensation for diagnostic work, as well as repair | ||||||
12 | service, labor, and
parts. Time allowances for the diagnosis | ||||||
13 | and performance of warranty
work and service shall be
| ||||||
14 | reasonable and adequate for the work to be performed. In the | ||||||
15 | determination
of what constitutes reasonable compensation | ||||||
16 | under this Section, the principal
factor to be given | ||||||
17 | consideration shall be the prevailing wage rates being
paid by | ||||||
18 | the dealer in the relevant market area in which the motor | ||||||
19 | vehicle
dealer is doing business, and in no event shall such | ||||||
20 | compensation of a motor
vehicle dealer for warranty service be | ||||||
21 | less than the rates charged by such
dealer for like service to | ||||||
22 | retail customers for nonwarranty service and
repairs. The | ||||||
23 | franchiser shall reimburse the franchisee for any parts
| ||||||
24 | provided in satisfaction of a warranty at the prevailing | ||||||
25 | retail price charged
by that dealer for the same parts when not | ||||||
26 | provided in satisfaction of a
warranty; provided that such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | motor vehicle franchisee's prevailing retail price
is not | ||||||
2 | unreasonable when compared with that of the holders of motor | ||||||
3 | vehicle
franchises from the same motor vehicle franchiser for | ||||||
4 | identical merchandise
in the geographic area in which the | ||||||
5 | motor vehicle franchisee is engaged in
business. All claims, | ||||||
6 | either original or resubmitted, made by motor vehicle
dealers | ||||||
7 | hereunder and under Section 5 for such labor and parts shall be | ||||||
8 | either
approved or disapproved within 30 days following their | ||||||
9 | submission. All
approved claims shall be paid within 30 days | ||||||
10 | following their approval. The
motor vehicle dealer who submits | ||||||
11 | a claim which is disapproved shall be notified
in writing of | ||||||
12 | the disapproval within the same period, and each such notice
| ||||||
13 | shall state the specific grounds upon which the disapproval is | ||||||
14 | based. The
motor vehicle dealer shall be permitted to correct | ||||||
15 | and resubmit such
disapproved claims within 30 days of receipt | ||||||
16 | of disapproval. Any claims not
specifically disapproved in | ||||||
17 | writing within 30 days from their submission shall
be deemed | ||||||
18 | approved and payment shall follow within 30 days. The | ||||||
19 | manufacturer
or franchiser shall have the right to require | ||||||
20 | reasonable documentation for
claims and to audit such claims | ||||||
21 | within a one year period from the date the
claim was paid or | ||||||
22 | credit issued by the manufacturer or franchiser, and to
charge | ||||||
23 | back any false or unsubstantiated claims. The audit and charge | ||||||
24 | back
provisions of this Section also apply to all other | ||||||
25 | incentive and reimbursement
programs for a period of one year | ||||||
26 | after the date the claim was paid or credit issued by the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | manufacturer or franchiser. However, the manufacturer retains | ||||||
2 | the
right to charge back any fraudulent claim if the | ||||||
3 | manufacturer establishes in
a court of competent jurisdiction | ||||||
4 | in this State that the claim is fraudulent.
| ||||||
5 | (c) The motor vehicle franchiser shall not, by agreement, | ||||||
6 | by restrictions
upon reimbursement, or otherwise, restrict the | ||||||
7 | nature and extent of services to
be rendered or parts to be | ||||||
8 | provided so that such restriction prevents the motor
vehicle | ||||||
9 | franchisee from satisfying the warranty by rendering services | ||||||
10 | in a good
and workmanlike manner and providing parts which are | ||||||
11 | required in accordance
with generally accepted standards. Any | ||||||
12 | such restriction shall constitute a
prohibited practice.
| ||||||
13 | (d) For the purposes of this Section, the "prevailing | ||||||
14 | retail price
charged by that dealer for the same parts" means | ||||||
15 | the price paid by
the motor vehicle franchisee for parts, | ||||||
16 | including all shipping and other
charges, multiplied by the | ||||||
17 | sum of 1.0 and the franchisee's average percentage
markup over | ||||||
18 | the price paid by the motor vehicle franchisee for parts | ||||||
19 | purchased
by the motor vehicle franchisee from the motor | ||||||
20 | vehicle franchiser and sold at
retail. The motor vehicle | ||||||
21 | franchisee may establish average percentage markup
under this | ||||||
22 | Section by submitting to the motor vehicle franchiser 100 | ||||||
23 | sequential
customer paid service repair orders or 90 days of | ||||||
24 | customer paid service repair
orders, whichever is less, | ||||||
25 | covering repairs made no more than 180 days before
the | ||||||
26 | submission, and declaring what the average percentage markup |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | is. The
average percentage markup so declared shall go into | ||||||
2 | effect 30 days following
the declaration, subject to audit of | ||||||
3 | the submitted repair orders by the motor
vehicle franchiser | ||||||
4 | and adjustment of the average percentage markup based on
that | ||||||
5 | audit. Any audit must be conducted within 30 days following | ||||||
6 | the
declaration. Only retail sales not involving warranty | ||||||
7 | repairs, parts covered
by subsection (e) of this Section, or | ||||||
8 | parts supplied for routine vehicle
maintenance, shall be | ||||||
9 | considered in calculating average percentage markup. No
motor | ||||||
10 | vehicle franchiser shall require a motor vehicle franchisee to | ||||||
11 | establish
average percentage markup by a methodology, or by | ||||||
12 | requiring information, that
is unduly burdensome or time | ||||||
13 | consuming to provide, including, but not limited
to, part by | ||||||
14 | part or transaction by transaction calculations. A motor | ||||||
15 | vehicle
franchisee shall not request a change in the average | ||||||
16 | percentage markup more
than twice in one calendar year.
| ||||||
17 | (e) If a motor vehicle franchiser supplies a part or parts | ||||||
18 | for use in a
repair rendered under a warranty other than by | ||||||
19 | sale of that part or parts to
the motor vehicle franchisee, the | ||||||
20 | motor vehicle franchisee shall be entitled to
compensation | ||||||
21 | equivalent to the motor vehicle franchisee's average | ||||||
22 | percentage
markup on the part or parts, as if the part or parts | ||||||
23 | had been sold to the motor
vehicle franchisee by the motor | ||||||
24 | vehicle franchiser. The requirements of this
subsection (e) | ||||||
25 | shall not apply to entire engine assemblies and entire
| ||||||
26 | transmission
assemblies. In the case of those assemblies, the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | motor vehicle franchiser
shall reimburse the motor vehicle | ||||||
2 | franchisee in the amount of 30% of what the
motor vehicle | ||||||
3 | franchisee would have paid the motor vehicle franchiser for | ||||||
4 | the
assembly if the assembly had not been supplied by the | ||||||
5 | franchiser other than by
the sale of that assembly to the motor | ||||||
6 | vehicle franchisee.
| ||||||
7 | (f) The obligations imposed on motor vehicle franchisers | ||||||
8 | by this Section
shall apply to any parent, subsidiary, | ||||||
9 | affiliate, or agent of the motor vehicle
franchiser, any | ||||||
10 | person under common ownership or control, any employee of the
| ||||||
11 | motor vehicle franchiser, and any person holding 1% or more of | ||||||
12 | the shares of
any class of securities or other ownership | ||||||
13 | interest in the motor vehicle
franchiser, if a warranty or | ||||||
14 | service or repair plan is issued by that person
instead of or | ||||||
15 | in addition to one issued by the motor vehicle franchiser.
| ||||||
16 | (g) (1) Any motor vehicle franchiser and at least a | ||||||
17 | majority of its
Illinois franchisees of the same line make may | ||||||
18 | agree in an express written
contract citing this Section upon | ||||||
19 | a uniform warranty reimbursement policy used
by contracting | ||||||
20 | franchisees to perform warranty repairs. The policy shall only
| ||||||
21 | involve either reimbursement for parts used in warranty | ||||||
22 | repairs or the use
of a Uniform Time Standards Manual, or both. | ||||||
23 | Reimbursement for parts under the
agreement shall be used | ||||||
24 | instead of the franchisees' "prevailing retail price
charged | ||||||
25 | by that dealer for the same parts" as defined in this Section | ||||||
26 | to
calculate compensation due from the franchiser for parts |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | used in warranty
repairs. This Section does not authorize a | ||||||
2 | franchiser and its Illinois
franchisees to establish a uniform | ||||||
3 | hourly labor reimbursement.
| ||||||
4 | Each franchiser shall only have one such agreement with | ||||||
5 | each line make.
Any such agreement shall:
| ||||||
6 | (A) Establish a uniform parts reimbursement rate. The | ||||||
7 | uniform parts
reimbursement rate shall be greater than the | ||||||
8 | franchiser's nationally
established
parts reimbursement | ||||||
9 | rate in effect at the time the first such agreement | ||||||
10 | becomes
effective; however, any subsequent agreement shall | ||||||
11 | result in a uniform
reimbursement rate that is greater or | ||||||
12 | equal to the rate set forth in the
immediately prior | ||||||
13 | agreement.
| ||||||
14 | (B) Apply to all warranty repair orders written during | ||||||
15 | the period that
the agreement is effective.
| ||||||
16 | (C) Be available, during the period it is effective, | ||||||
17 | to any motor
vehicle franchisee of the same line make at | ||||||
18 | any time and on the same terms.
| ||||||
19 | (D) Be for a term not to exceed 3 years so long as any | ||||||
20 | party to the
agreement may terminate the agreement upon | ||||||
21 | the annual anniversary of the
agreement and with 30 days' | ||||||
22 | prior written notice; however, the agreement shall
remain | ||||||
23 | in effect for the term of the agreement regardless of the | ||||||
24 | number of
dealers of the same line make that may terminate | ||||||
25 | the agreement.
| ||||||
26 | (2) A franchiser that enters into an agreement with its |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | franchisees
pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection (g) | ||||||
2 | may seek to recover its costs
from only those franchisees that | ||||||
3 | are receiving their "prevailing retail price
charged by that | ||||||
4 | dealer" under subsections (a) through (f) of this Section,
| ||||||
5 | subject to the following requirements:
| ||||||
6 | (A) "costs" means the difference between the uniform | ||||||
7 | reimbursement rate
set forth in an agreement entered into | ||||||
8 | pursuant to paragraph (1) of this
subsection (g) and the | ||||||
9 | "prevailing retail price charged by that dealer"
received | ||||||
10 | by those franchisees of the same line make. "Costs" do not | ||||||
11 | include the following: legal fees or expenses; | ||||||
12 | administrative expenses; a profit mark-up; or any other | ||||||
13 | item;
| ||||||
14 | (B) the costs shall be recovered only by increasing | ||||||
15 | the invoice price on
new vehicles received by those | ||||||
16 | franchisees; and
| ||||||
17 | (C) price increases imposed for the purpose of | ||||||
18 | recovering costs imposed
by this Section may vary from | ||||||
19 | time to time and from model to model, but shall
apply | ||||||
20 | uniformly to all franchisees of the same line make in the | ||||||
21 | State of
Illinois that have requested reimbursement for | ||||||
22 | warranty repairs at their
"prevailing retail price charged | ||||||
23 | by that dealer", except that a franchiser may
make an | ||||||
24 | exception for vehicles that are titled in the name of a | ||||||
25 | consumer in
another state.
| ||||||
26 | (3) If a franchiser contracts with its Illinois dealers |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | pursuant to
paragraph (1) of this subsection (g), the | ||||||
2 | franchiser shall certify under oath
to the Motor Vehicle | ||||||
3 | Review Board that a majority of the franchisees of that
line | ||||||
4 | make did agree to such an agreement and file a sample copy of | ||||||
5 | the
agreement. On an annual basis, each franchiser shall | ||||||
6 | certify under oath to
the Motor Vehicle Review Board that the | ||||||
7 | reimbursement costs it recovers under
paragraph (2) of this | ||||||
8 | subsection (g) do not exceed the amounts authorized by
| ||||||
9 | paragraph (2) of this subsection (g). The franchiser shall | ||||||
10 | maintain for a
period of 3 years a file that contains the | ||||||
11 | information upon which its
certification is based. | ||||||
12 | (3.1) A franchiser subject to subdivision (g)(2) of this | ||||||
13 | Section, upon request of a dealer subject to that subdivision, | ||||||
14 | shall disclose to the dealer, in writing or in person if | ||||||
15 | requested by the dealer, the method by which the franchiser | ||||||
16 | calculated the amount of the costs to be reimbursed by the | ||||||
17 | dealer. The franchiser shall also provide aggregate data | ||||||
18 | showing (i) the total costs the franchiser incurred and (ii) | ||||||
19 | the total number of new vehicles invoiced to each dealer that | ||||||
20 | received the "prevailing retail price charged by that dealer" | ||||||
21 | during the relevant period of time. In responding to a | ||||||
22 | dealer's request under this subdivision (g)(3.1), a franchiser | ||||||
23 | may not disclose any confidential or competitive information | ||||||
24 | regarding any other dealer. Any dealer who receives | ||||||
25 | information from a franchiser under this subdivision (g)(3.1) | ||||||
26 | may not disclose that information to any third party unless |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the disclosure occurs in the course of a lawful proceeding | ||||||
2 | before, or upon the order of, the Motor Vehicle Review Board or | ||||||
3 | a court of competent jurisdiction.
| ||||||
4 | (4) If a franchiser and its franchisees do not enter into | ||||||
5 | an agreement
pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection (g), | ||||||
6 | and for any matter that is
not the subject of an agreement, | ||||||
7 | this subsection (g) shall have no effect
whatsoever.
| ||||||
8 | (5) For purposes of this subsection (g), a Uniform Time | ||||||
9 | Standard Manual
is a document created by a franchiser that | ||||||
10 | establishes the time allowances for
the diagnosis and | ||||||
11 | performance of warranty work and service. The allowances
shall | ||||||
12 | be reasonable and adequate for the work and service to be | ||||||
13 | performed.
Each franchiser shall have a reasonable and fair | ||||||
14 | process that allows a
franchisee to request a modification or | ||||||
15 | adjustment of a standard or standards
included in such a | ||||||
16 | manual. | ||||||
17 | (6) A franchiser may not take any adverse action against a | ||||||
18 | franchisee for not having executed an agreement contemplated | ||||||
19 | by this subsection (g) or for receiving the "prevailing retail | ||||||
20 | price charged by that dealer". Nothing in this subsection | ||||||
21 | shall be construed to prevent a franchiser from making a | ||||||
22 | determination of a franchisee's "prevailing retail price | ||||||
23 | charged by that dealer", as provided by this Section.

|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Sec. 6. Warranty agreements; claims; approval; payment; | ||||||
2 | written
disapproval. | ||||||
3 | (a) Every manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, | ||||||
4 | distributor branch
or division, factory branch or division, or | ||||||
5 | wholesale branch or division
shall properly fulfill any | ||||||
6 | warranty agreement and adequately and fairly
compensate each | ||||||
7 | of its motor vehicle dealers for labor and parts.
| ||||||
8 | (b) Adequate and fair compensation requires the | ||||||
9 | manufacturer to pay each dealer no less than the amount the | ||||||
10 | retail customer pays for the same services with regard to rate | ||||||
11 | and time. | ||||||
12 | Any time guide previously agreed to by the manufacturer | ||||||
13 | and the dealer for extended warranty repairs may be used in | ||||||
14 | lieu of actual time expended. In the event that a time guide | ||||||
15 | has not been agreed to for warranty repairs, or said time guide | ||||||
16 | does not define time for an applicable warranty repair, the | ||||||
17 | manufacturer's time guide shall be used, multiplied by 1.5. | ||||||
18 | In no event shall such compensation fail to include full
| ||||||
19 | compensation for diagnostic work, as well as repair service, | ||||||
20 | labor, and
parts. Time allowances for the diagnosis and | ||||||
21 | performance of warranty
work and service shall be no less than | ||||||
22 | charged to retail customers
for the same work to be performed. | ||||||
23 | No warranty or factory compensated repairs shall be | ||||||
24 | excluded from this requirement, including recalls or other | ||||||
25 | voluntary stop-sell repairs required by the manufacturer. If a | ||||||
26 | manufacturer is required to issue a recall, the dealer will be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | compensated for labor time as above stated. | ||||||
2 | Furthermore, manufacturers shall pay the dealer the same | ||||||
3 | effective labor rate (using the 100 sequential repair orders | ||||||
4 | chosen and submitted by the dealer less simple maintenance | ||||||
5 | repair orders) that the dealer receives for customer-pay | ||||||
6 | repairs. This requirement includes vehicle diagnostic times | ||||||
7 | for all warranty repairs. Additionally, if a technician is | ||||||
8 | required to communicate with a Technical Assistance | ||||||
9 | Center/Engineering/or some external manufacturer source in | ||||||
10 | order to provide a warranty repair, the manufacturer shall pay | ||||||
11 | for the time from start of communications (including hold | ||||||
12 | time) until the communication is complete. | ||||||
13 | The dealer may submit a request to the manufacturer for | ||||||
14 | warranty labor rate increases a maximum of once per calendar | ||||||
15 | year. | ||||||
16 | A claim made by a franchised motor vehicle dealer for | ||||||
17 | compensation under this Section shall be either approved or | ||||||
18 | disapproved within 30 days after the claim is submitted to the | ||||||
19 | manufacturer in the manner and on the forms the manufacturer | ||||||
20 | reasonably prescribes. An approved claim shall be paid within | ||||||
21 | 30 days after its approval. If a claim is not specifically | ||||||
22 | disapproved in writing or by electronic transmission within 30 | ||||||
23 | days after the date on which the manufacturer receives it, the | ||||||
24 | claim shall be considered to be approved and payment shall | ||||||
25 | follow within 30 days. | ||||||
26 | In no event shall compensation to a motor
vehicle dealer |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | for labor times and labor rates be less than the rates charged | ||||||
2 | by such
dealer for like service to retail customers for | ||||||
3 | nonwarranty service and
repairs. Additionally, the | ||||||
4 | manufacturer shall reimburse the dealer for any parts provided | ||||||
5 | in satisfaction of a warranty at the prevailing retail price | ||||||
6 | charged by that dealer for the same parts when not provided in | ||||||
7 | satisfaction of a warranty; provided that such dealer's | ||||||
8 | prevailing retail price is not unreasonable when compared with | ||||||
9 | that of the holders of motor vehicle franchises from the same | ||||||
10 | manufacturer for identical parts in the geographic area in | ||||||
11 | which the dealer is engaged in business. Additionally, the | ||||||
12 | manufacturer shall reimburse the dealer for any parts
provided | ||||||
13 | in satisfaction of a warranty at the prevailing retail price | ||||||
14 | charged
by that dealer for the same parts when sold to a retail | ||||||
15 | customer. | ||||||
16 | There shall be no reduction in payments due to | ||||||
17 | preestablished market norms or market averages.
Manufacturers | ||||||
18 | are prohibited from establishing restrictions or limitations | ||||||
19 | of customer repair frequency due to failure rate indexes or | ||||||
20 | national failure averages. | ||||||
21 | No debit reduction or charge back of any item on a warranty | ||||||
22 | repair order may be made absent a finding of fraud or illegal | ||||||
23 | actions by the dealer. | ||||||
24 | A warranty claim timely made shall not be deemed invalid | ||||||
25 | solely because unavailable parts cause additional use and | ||||||
26 | mileage on the vehicle. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | If a manufacturer imposes a recall or stop sale on any new | ||||||
2 | vehicle in a dealer's inventory that prevents the sale of the | ||||||
3 | vehicle, the manufacturer shall compensate the dealer for any | ||||||
4 | interest and storage until the vehicle is repaired and made | ||||||
5 | ready for sale. | ||||||
6 | Manufacturers are not permitted to impose any form of cost | ||||||
7 | recovery fees or surcharges against a franchised auto | ||||||
8 | dealership for payments made in accordance with this Section. | ||||||
9 | All claims, either original or resubmitted, made by motor | ||||||
10 | vehicle
dealers hereunder and under Section 5 for such labor | ||||||
11 | and parts shall be either
approved or disapproved within 30 | ||||||
12 | days following their submission. All
approved claims shall be | ||||||
13 | paid within 30 days following their approval. The
motor | ||||||
14 | vehicle dealer who submits a claim which is disapproved shall | ||||||
15 | be notified
in writing of the disapproval within the same | ||||||
16 | period, and each such notice
shall state the specific grounds | ||||||
17 | upon which the disapproval is based. The
motor vehicle dealer | ||||||
18 | shall be permitted to correct and resubmit such
disapproved | ||||||
19 | claims within 30 days of receipt of disapproval. Any claims | ||||||
20 | not
specifically disapproved in writing within 30 days from | ||||||
21 | their submission shall
be deemed approved and payment shall | ||||||
22 | follow within 30 days. The manufacturer
or franchiser shall | ||||||
23 | have the right to require reasonable documentation for
claims | ||||||
24 | and to audit such claims within a one year period from the date | ||||||
25 | the
claim was paid or credit issued by the manufacturer or | ||||||
26 | franchiser, and to
charge back any false or unsubstantiated |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | claims. The audit and charge back
provisions of this Section | ||||||
2 | also apply to all other incentive and reimbursement
programs | ||||||
3 | for a period of one year after the date the claim was paid or | ||||||
4 | credit issued by the manufacturer or franchiser. However, the | ||||||
5 | manufacturer retains the
right to charge back any fraudulent | ||||||
6 | claim if the manufacturer establishes in
a court of competent | ||||||
7 | jurisdiction in this State that the claim is fraudulent.
| ||||||
8 | (c) The motor vehicle franchiser shall not, by agreement, | ||||||
9 | by restrictions
upon reimbursement, or otherwise, restrict the | ||||||
10 | nature and extent of services to
be rendered or parts to be | ||||||
11 | provided so that such restriction prevents the motor
vehicle | ||||||
12 | franchisee from satisfying the warranty by rendering services | ||||||
13 | in a good
and workmanlike manner and providing parts which are | ||||||
14 | required in accordance
with generally accepted standards. Any | ||||||
15 | such restriction shall constitute a
prohibited practice.
| ||||||
16 | (d) For the purposes of this Section, the "prevailing | ||||||
17 | retail price
charged by that dealer for the same parts" means | ||||||
18 | the price paid by
the motor vehicle franchisee for parts, | ||||||
19 | including all shipping and other
charges, multiplied by the | ||||||
20 | sum of 1.0 and the franchisee's average percentage
markup over | ||||||
21 | the price paid by the motor vehicle franchisee for parts | ||||||
22 | purchased
by the motor vehicle franchisee from the motor | ||||||
23 | vehicle franchiser and sold at
retail. The motor vehicle | ||||||
24 | franchisee may establish average percentage markup
under this | ||||||
25 | Section by submitting to the motor vehicle franchiser 100 | ||||||
26 | sequential
customer paid service repair orders or 90 days of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | customer paid service repair
orders, whichever is less, | ||||||
2 | covering repairs made no more than 180 days before
the | ||||||
3 | submission, and declaring what the average percentage markup | ||||||
4 | is. The
average percentage markup so declared shall go into | ||||||
5 | effect 30 days following
the declaration, subject to audit of | ||||||
6 | the submitted repair orders by the motor
vehicle franchiser | ||||||
7 | and adjustment of the average percentage markup based on
that | ||||||
8 | audit. Any audit must be conducted within 30 days following | ||||||
9 | the
declaration. Only retail sales not involving warranty | ||||||
10 | repairs, parts covered
by subsection (e) of this Section, or | ||||||
11 | parts supplied for routine vehicle
maintenance, shall be | ||||||
12 | considered in calculating average percentage markup. No
motor | ||||||
13 | vehicle franchiser shall require a motor vehicle franchisee to | ||||||
14 | establish
average percentage markup by a methodology, or by | ||||||
15 | requiring information, that
is unduly burdensome or time | ||||||
16 | consuming to provide, including, but not limited
to, part by | ||||||
17 | part or transaction by transaction calculations. A motor | ||||||
18 | vehicle
franchisee shall not request a change in the average | ||||||
19 | percentage markup more
than twice in one calendar year.
| ||||||
20 | (e) If a motor vehicle franchiser supplies a part or parts | ||||||
21 | for use in a
repair rendered under a warranty other than by | ||||||
22 | sale of that part or parts to
the motor vehicle franchisee, the | ||||||
23 | motor vehicle franchisee shall be entitled to
compensation | ||||||
24 | equivalent to the motor vehicle franchisee's average | ||||||
25 | percentage
markup on the part or parts, as if the part or parts | ||||||
26 | had been sold to the motor
vehicle franchisee by the motor |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | vehicle franchiser. The requirements of this
subsection (e) | ||||||
2 | shall not apply to entire engine assemblies , propulsion engine | ||||||
3 | assemblies, including electric vehicle batteries, and entire | ||||||
4 | transmission assemblies. In the case of those assemblies, the | ||||||
5 | motor vehicle franchiser shall reimburse the motor vehicle | ||||||
6 | franchisee up to and including 30% of what the motor vehicle | ||||||
7 | franchisee would have paid the motor vehicle franchiser for | ||||||
8 | the assembly if the assembly had not been supplied by the | ||||||
9 | franchiser other than by the sale of that assembly to the motor | ||||||
10 | vehicle franchisee and entire
transmission
assemblies .
| ||||||
11 | (f) The obligations imposed on motor vehicle franchisers | ||||||
12 | by this Section
shall apply to any parent, subsidiary, | ||||||
13 | affiliate, or agent of the motor vehicle
franchiser, any | ||||||
14 | person under common ownership or control, any employee of the
| ||||||
15 | motor vehicle franchiser, and any person holding 1% or more of | ||||||
16 | the shares of
any class of securities or other ownership | ||||||
17 | interest in the motor vehicle
franchiser, if a warranty or | ||||||
18 | service or repair plan is issued by that person
instead of or | ||||||
19 | in addition to one issued by the motor vehicle franchiser.
