 1        AN ACT in relation to municipalities.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The Special Assessment Supplemental Bond  and
 5    Procedures Act is amended by changing Section 55 as follows:

 6        (50 ILCS 460/55)
 7        Sec.  55.  County  clerk  may  collect.  Pursuant  to the
 8    Illinois constitutional and statutory provisions relating  to
 9    intergovernmental cooperation, the county clerk of any county
10    in  which property subject to a special assessment is located
11    may, but shall not be required to, agree to mail bills for  a
12    special  assessment with the regular tax bills of the county,
13    or otherwise as may be provided by a special assessment  law.
14    If  the  clerk agrees to mail such bills with the regular tax
15    bills, then the annual amount  due  as  of  January  2  shall
16    become  due  instead  in even installments with each tax bill
17    made during the year in which such  January  2  date  occurs,
18    thus  deferring  to  later date in the year the obligation to
19    pay the assessments.  If the county clerk does not  agree  to
20    mail  the  bills,  or if the municipality declines to request
21    the county clerk to mail the bills, the municipality may bill
22    the  annual  amount  due,  as  of  January  2nd,  in  2  even
23    installments due on or about the due date for the real estate
24    tax bills issued by the county clerk during the year in which
25    the January 2nd date occurs, thereby deferring the obligation
26    to pay the assessment installment  to  later  dates  in  that
27    year.

29        Section  99.   Effective  date.  This Act takes effect on
30    January 1, 2004.
