2funding shall be decreased pro rata so that qualifying public
3libraries receive the same amount per capita. If the moneys
4appropriated for grants under this Section exceed the $1.475
5$1.25 and the $0.19 per capita amounts above, the funding
6shall be increased pro rata so that qualifying public
7libraries receive the same amount per capita.
8    To be eligible for grants under this Section, a public

15    library purposes at a rate not less than .13% or a county

18    Property Tax Extension Limitation Law in the Property Tax
19    Code and its tax levy for library purposes has been
20    lowered to a rate of less than .13%, this requirement will
21    be waived if the library qualified for this grant in the
22    previous year and if the tax levied for library purposes
23    in the current year produces tax revenue for library
24    purposes that is an increase over the previous year's
25    extension of 5% or the percentage increase in the Consumer

5    continues to meet the requirements of item (1) of this
6    Section and (ii) received a grant under this Section in
