| provided by Section 8 of the "Motor Fuel Tax Law", approved |
| 2 |
| March 25,
1929, as amended, with respect to the allocation to |
| 3 |
| road districts of
the amount allotted from the Motor Fuel Tax |
| 4 |
| Fund for apportionment to
counties for the use of road |
| 5 |
| districts, but no allocation shall be made
to any road district |
| 6 |
| that has not levied taxes for road and bridge
purposes and for |
| 7 |
| bridge construction purposes at the maximum rates
permitted by |
| 8 |
| Sections 6-501, 6-508 and 6-512 of this Act, without
|
| 9 |
| referendum. "Road district" and "township or district road" |
| 10 |
| have the
meanings ascribed to those terms in this Act.
|
| 11 |
| Road districts in counties in which a property tax |
| 12 |
| extension limitation is
imposed under the Property Tax |
| 13 |
| Extension Limitation Law that are made
ineligible for receipt |
| 14 |
| of this appropriation due to the imposition of a
property tax |
| 15 |
| extension limitation may become eligible if, at the time the
|
| 16 |
| property tax extension limitation was imposed, the road |
| 17 |
| district was levying at
the required rate and continues to levy |
| 18 |
| the maximum allowable amount
after the imposition of the |
| 19 |
| property tax extension limitation. The road
district
also |
| 20 |
| becomes
eligible if it levies at or above the rate required for |
| 21 |
| eligibility by Section
8 of the
Motor Fuel Tax Law.
|
| 22 |
| The amounts apportioned under this Section for allocation |
| 23 |
| to road
districts may be used only for bridge construction as |
| 24 |
| provided in this
Division. So much of those amounts as are not |
| 25 |
| obligated under Sections
6-902 through 6-904 and for which |
| 26 |
| local funds have not been committed
under Section 6-905 within |
