Makes changes concerning the definitions of "taxing district" and "extension limitation" to provide that, for the 2016 and 2017 levy years, the Law applies to all home rule and non-home rule taxing districts outside of Cook County, and the extension limitation for those districts in those levy years is 0%. Provides that, for the 2017 and 2018 levy years, the Law applies to all home rule and non-home rule taxing districts within Cook County, and the extension limitation for those districts in those levy years is 0%. Preempts home rule. Makes changes concerning the extension limitation for certain public safety extensions. Amends the Chicago Teacher Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Requires the State to contribute to the Fund $197,000,000 for fiscal year 2016; includes provisions for certifications and monthly payments by voucher. Provides that beginning in fiscal year 2017, the State shall contribute an amount equal to the employer normal cost for that fiscal year. Specifies the amount of the Chicago Board of Education's total required contribution for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 and provides that those amounts shall not be reduced by the amount of any State contribution to the Fund. Provides that beginning fiscal year 2018, the Chicago Board of Education's minimum contribution to the Fund shall be an amount sufficient to bring the total assets of the Fund up to 90% of the total actuarial liabilities of the Fund by the end of fiscal year 2063. Amends the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act. Provides for a continuing appropriation to the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago, on a continuing monthly basis, of the amount, if any, by which the total available amount of all other State appropriations to that Retirement Fund for the payment of certain State contributions is less than the total amount of the vouchers for required State contributions lawfully submitted by the Fund for that month under applicable provisions of the Illinois Pension Code. Amends the School Code. Repeals provisions concerning school district block grants and the State aid formula on June 1, 2017. With respect to the State aid formula, sets forth provisions concerning a supplemental grant to entities that receive general State aid. Creates a General State Aid Committee to propose a revised school funding formula for Illinois schools. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.

Further amends the School Code. Provides that a tax shall be levied by the Chicago Board of Education for the purpose of making an employer contribution to the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago, at the rate of 0.26%; requires the proceeds from this tax to be paid directly to the Pension Fund. Makes a corresponding reduction in the rate limitation for the tax for general educational purposes. Specifies that, the changes made to the affected Section by the amendatory Act: (1) do not authorize an increase in the district's maximum aggregate extension or limiting rate under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law or an increase in the existing total maximum rate limitation under this Section; and (2) constitute a continuation of the existing total maximum rate and are not a new rate for the purposes of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.

In the Chicago Teacher Article of the Illinois Pension Code: deletes a provision added by Senate amendment number one that, beginning in State fiscal year 2017, requires the State to contribute for each fiscal year an amount equal to the employer normal cost portion of the projected normal cost for the fiscal year; adds language providing that the proceeds of the tax levied by the Board of Education under the changes made to a section in the School Code by this amendatory Act shall be a credit against contributions required to be made by the Board of Education.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Income Tax Act. Makes a technical change in a Section concerning tax credits for providing child care for employees.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the School Code. Provides that a separate tax may be levied by the Chicago Board of Education for the purpose of making an employer contribution to the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago, at a rate not to exceed 0.383%; requires the proceeds from this separate tax to be paid directly to the Pension Fund. Provides that the rate is not a new rate for the purposes of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law. Amends the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law in the Property Tax Code to add certain extensions made for making employer contributions to the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund to the list of special purpose extensions that are excluded from the aggregate extension.
