impose a tax upon the privilege
of operating each motor vehicle as defined in this Act upon the public
highways and the waters of this State, such tax to be based upon the
consumption of motor fuel in such motor vehicle, so far as the same may be
done, under the Constitution and statutes of the United States, and the
Constitution of the State of Illinois. It is the purpose of Section 2a of
this Act to impose a tax upon the privilege of importing or receiving in this State
fuel for sale or use, such tax to be used to fund the
Underground Storage Tank Fund or the Transportation Renewal Fund. If any of the provisions of this Act
include transactions which are not taxable or are in any other respect
unconstitutional, it is the intent of the General Assembly that, so far as
possible, the remaining provisions of the Act be given effect.
