1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 1963
| ||||||
2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 1963, AS AMENDED, by | ||||||
3 | replacing everything after the enacting clause with the | ||||||
4 | following:
| ||||||
5 | "Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by | ||||||
6 | changing Sections 6-901 and 6-905 as follows:
| ||||||
7 | (605 ILCS 5/6-901) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-901)
| ||||||
8 | Sec. 6-901. Annually, the General Assembly shall | ||||||
9 | appropriate to the
Department of Transportation from the road | ||||||
10 | fund, the general revenue
fund, any other State funds or a | ||||||
11 | combination of those funds, $30,000,000
$15,000,000
for | ||||||
12 | apportionment to counties for the use of road districts for the
| ||||||
13 | construction of bridges 20 feet or more in length, as provided | ||||||
14 | in
Sections 6-902 through 6-905.
| ||||||
15 | The Department of Transportation shall apportion among the | ||||||
16 | several
counties of this State for the use of road districts |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the amounts
appropriated under this Section. The amount | ||||||
2 | apportioned to a county
shall be in the proportion which the | ||||||
3 | total mileage of township or
district roads in the county bears | ||||||
4 | to the total mileage of all township
and district roads in the | ||||||
5 | State. Each county shall allocate to the
several road districts | ||||||
6 | in the county the funds so apportioned to the
county. The | ||||||
7 | allocation to road districts shall be made in the same
manner | ||||||
8 | and be subject to the same conditions and qualifications as are
| ||||||
9 | provided by Section 8 of the "Motor Fuel Tax Law", approved | ||||||
10 | March 25,
1929, as amended, with respect to the allocation to | ||||||
11 | road districts of
the amount allotted from the Motor Fuel Tax | ||||||
12 | Fund for apportionment to
counties for the use of road | ||||||
13 | districts, but no allocation shall be made
to any road district | ||||||
14 | that has not levied taxes for road and bridge
purposes and for | ||||||
15 | bridge construction purposes at the maximum rates
permitted by | ||||||
16 | Sections 6-501, 6-508 and 6-512 of this Act, without
| ||||||
17 | referendum. "Road district" and "township or district road" | ||||||
18 | have the
meanings ascribed to those terms in this Act.
| ||||||
19 | Road districts in counties in which a property tax | ||||||
20 | extension limitation is
imposed under the Property Tax | ||||||
21 | Extension Limitation Law that are made
ineligible for receipt | ||||||
22 | of this appropriation due to the imposition of a
property tax | ||||||
23 | extension limitation may become eligible if, at the time the
| ||||||
24 | property tax extension limitation was imposed, the road | ||||||
25 | district was levying at
the required rate and continues to levy | ||||||
26 | the maximum allowable amount
after the imposition of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property tax extension limitation. The road
district
also | ||||||
2 | becomes
eligible if it levies at or above the rate required for | ||||||
3 | eligibility by Section
8 of the
Motor Fuel Tax Law.
| ||||||
4 | The amounts apportioned under this Section for allocation | ||||||
5 | to road
districts may be used only for bridge construction as | ||||||
6 | provided in this
Division. So much of those amounts as are not | ||||||
7 | obligated under Sections
6-902 through 6-904 and for which | ||||||
8 | local funds have not been committed
under Section 6-905 within | ||||||
9 | 24 months of the date
when such apportionment is
made lapses | ||||||
10 | and shall not be paid to the county treasurer for
distribution | ||||||
11 | to road districts.

| ||||||
13 | (605 ILCS 5/6-905) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-905)
| ||||||
14 | Sec. 6-905. The amount of grant
for an approved road | ||||||
15 | district project shall require at least $1 of local funds
| ||||||
16 | committed to the project for each $9
$4 that may be allocated | ||||||
17 | under Section
6-901.
