15 | | value of all real property in the
territory under the |
16 | | jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior
levy year. |

|
18 | | extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest |
19 | | aggregate extension
in any of the last 3 preceding levy years |
20 | | shall be used for the purpose of
computing the limiting rate. |
21 | | The denominator shall not include new
property or the recovered |
22 | | tax increment
value.
If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a |
23 | | limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held |
24 | | after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable |
25 | | limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate |
26 | | or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the |
|
| | HB4002 | - 18 - | LRB097 16763 HLH 61942 b |
|
|
1 | | case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase, |
2 | | the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth
in the |
3 | | proposition approved by the voters for each of the years |
4 | | specified in the proposition, after
which the limiting rate of |
5 | | the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.

|
1 | | (b) Prior to the levy of taxes under this Section for the |
2 | | first time, the school board of each district desiring to make |
3 | | such a levy shall hold 2 public hearings regarding the proposed |
4 | | levy at the vocational education center. Notice of the public |
5 | | hearings shall be given by the school board by (i) posting the |
6 | | notice at the last regularly scheduled meeting of the school |
7 | | board to occur prior to the public hearing and (ii) publishing |
8 | | notice of the public hearing in conformity with the Notice by |
9 | | Publication Act. If there is no newspaper of general |
10 | | circulation published within the school district and the school |
11 | | district is located in more than one county, then notice shall |
12 | | be published in a newspaper of general circulation published in |
13 | | each county in which any part of the school district is |
14 | | located. The notice shall appear not more than 14 days nor less |
15 | | than 7 days prior to the date of the public hearing. The notice |
16 | | shall not be placed in the portion of the newspaper where legal |
17 | | notices and classified advertisements appear. The notice shall |
18 | | appear before each public hearing. |
19 | | (c) The tax rate limit specified in subsection (a) of this |
20 | | Section may be increased to up to a maximum of 0.08% upon the |

22 | | election. The proposition may be initiated by resolution and |
23 | | shall be certified by the secretary of the school board to the |
24 | | proper election authorities for submission in accordance with |
25 | | the general election law. If a majority of votes cast on the |
26 | | proposition is in favor thereof, then the school board may |
|
| | HB4002 | - 20 - | LRB097 16763 HLH 61942 b |
|
|
1 | | annually levy the tax as authorized until such authority is |

8 | | vocational center facilities. The district shall distribute |
9 | | the funds for area vocational center education purposes to the |
10 | | area vocational center within 60 days after receipt, provided |
11 | | that, if the receipts exceed the school districts' liabilities |
12 | | to the area vocational center, the district may retain such |
13 | | excess for application to its liability for area vocational |
14 | | center expenses in subsequent periods. |
15 | | (e) If the school board of any district that has levied a |
16 | | tax authorized by this Section withdraws from the joint |
17 | | agreement for area vocational education purposes, that |
18 | | district shall no longer be authorized to levy an annual tax |
19 | | for area vocational education purposes. Any proceeds from the |
20 | | taxes authorized by this Section, including interest earnings |
21 | | thereon that remain in the school district treasury upon |
22 | | withdrawal from the area vocational center and after paying any |
23 | | liabilities owed such area vocational center shall be used to |
24 | | abate taxes in the ensuing tax cycle or cycles. |
25 | | (f) Any tax imposed under this Section is in addition to |
26 | | all other taxes authorized by law to be levied and collected by |
|
| | HB4002 | - 21 - | LRB097 16763 HLH 61942 b |
|
|
1 | | a school board of any district participating in a joint |
2 | | agreement for an area vocational education center, and shall |
3 | | not be included within any limitation of rate contained in this |
4 | | Code or any other law. |
