| 18-8 unless the
requirements of Section
16-15 of the Property | 2 |
| Tax Code and Section 2-3.84 of this Code
Act are
complied with | 3 |
| in all respects.
| 4 |
| This paragraph applies to all requests for recomputation of | 5 |
| a general
State aid claim received after June 30, 2003. In | 6 |
| recomputing a general
State aid claim that was originally | 7 |
| calculated using an extension
limitation equalized assessed | 8 |
| valuation under paragraph (3) of
subsection (G) of Section | 9 |
| 18-8.05 of this Code, a qualifying reduction in
equalized | 10 |
| assessed valuation shall be deducted from the extension
| 11 |
| limitation equalized assessed valuation that was used in | 12 |
| calculating the
original claim.
| 13 |
| From the total amount of general State aid to be provided | 14 |
| to
districts, equalized assessed valuation adjustments as a | 15 |
| result of recomputation under this Section
must not exceed $25
| 16 |
| million, in the aggregate for all districts,
of the general | 17 |
| State aid appropriation in any fiscal year; if necessary,
| 18 |
| amounts shall be prorated among districts. If it is necessary | 19 |
| to prorate
claims under this paragraph, then that portion of | 20 |
| each prorated claim that is
approved but not paid in the | 21 |
| current fiscal year may be resubmitted as a
valid claim in the | 22 |
| following fiscal year. | 23 |
| All valid requests for recomputation of general State aid | 24 |
| claims that are filed under this Section after June 30, 2003 | 25 |
| and before July 1, 2004 shall be paid in the State fiscal year | 26 |
| ending June 30, 2005, except to the extent reduced due to | 27 |
| proration. All valid requests for recomputation under this | 28 |
| Section shall be paid to school districts within the first 2 | 29 |
| months of the State fiscal year in which they are paid.
