Annually, the General Assembly shall |

| apportioned to a county
shall be in the proportion which the |
2 |
| total mileage of township or
district roads in the county bears |
3 |
| to the total mileage of all township
and district roads in the |
4 |
| State. Each county shall allocate to the
several road districts |
5 |
| in the county the funds so apportioned to the
county. The |
6 |
| allocation to road districts shall be made in the same
manner |
7 |
| and be subject to the same conditions and qualifications as are
|
8 |
| provided by Section 8 of the "Motor Fuel Tax Law", approved |
9 |
| March 25,
1929, as amended, with respect to the allocation to |
10 |
| road districts of
the amount allotted from the Motor Fuel Tax |
11 |
| Fund for apportionment to
counties for the use of road |
12 |
| districts, but no allocation shall be made
to any road district |
13 |
| that has not levied taxes for road and bridge
purposes and for |
14 |
| bridge construction purposes at the maximum rates
permitted by |
15 |
| Sections 6-501, 6-508 and 6-512 of this Act, without
|
16 |
| referendum. "Road district" and "township or district road" |
17 |
| have the
meanings ascribed to those terms in this Act.
|
18 |
| Road districts in counties in which a property tax |
19 |
| extension limitation is

| Extension Limitation Law that are made
ineligible for receipt |
21 |
| of this appropriation due to the imposition of a
property tax |
22 |
| extension limitation may become eligible if, at the time the
|
23 |
| property tax extension limitation was imposed, the road |
24 |
| district was levying at
the required rate and continues to levy |
25 |
| the maximum allowable amount
after the imposition of the |
26 |
| property tax extension limitation. The road
district

| The amounts apportioned under this Section for allocation |

Division. So much of those amounts as are not |
6 |
| obligated under Sections
6-902 through 6-904 and for which |
7 |
| local funds have not been committed
under Section 6-905 within |
8 |
| 48 24 months of the date
when such apportionment is
