Section 2-203 as follows:
| ||
(220 ILCS 5/2-203)
| ||
(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2014)

contribution. Each electric
utility as defined in Section | ||

12,500 | ||
customers in this State on January 1, 1995 shall contribute | ||
annually a

upon the number of
kilowatt-hours delivered to retail customers | ||
within this State by each such
electric utility in the 12 | ||
months preceding the year of contribution. On or
before May 1 | ||
of each year, the Illinois Commerce Commission shall determine | ||
and
notify the Illinois Department of Revenue of the pro rata | ||
share owed by each
electric utility based upon information | ||
supplied annually to the Commission. On

an electric utility does
not remit its pro rata share to the | ||
Department of Revenue, the Department of
Revenue must inform | ||
the Illinois Commerce Commission of such failure. The
Illinois | ||
Commerce Commission may then revoke the certification of that | ||
electric
utility. This Section is repealed on April 1, 2015 | ||
January 1, 2014 .
