1 the amounts appropriated under this Section. The amount
2 apportioned to a county shall be in the proportion which the
3 total mileage of township or district roads in the county bears
4 to the total mileage of all township and district roads in the
5 State. Each county shall allocate to the several road districts
6 in the county the funds so apportioned to the county. The
7 allocation to road districts shall be made in the same manner
8 and be subject to the same conditions and qualifications as are
9 provided by Section 8 of the "Motor Fuel Tax Law", approved
10 March 25, 1929, as amended, with respect to the allocation to
11 road districts of the amount allotted from the Motor Fuel Tax
12 Fund for apportionment to counties for the use of road
13 districts, but no allocation shall be made to any road district
14 that has not levied taxes for road and bridge purposes and for
15 bridge construction purposes at the maximum rates permitted by
16 Sections 6-501, 6-508 and 6-512 of this Act, without
17 referendum. "Road district" and "township or district road"
18 have the meanings ascribed to those terms in this Act.
19     Road districts in counties in which a property tax
20 extension limitation is imposed under the Property Tax
21 Extension Limitation Law that are made ineligible for receipt
22 of this appropriation due to the imposition of a property tax
23 extension limitation may become eligible if, at the time the
24 property tax extension limitation was imposed, the road
25 district was levying at the required rate and continues to levy
26 the maximum allowable amount after the imposition of the

1 property tax extension limitation. The road district also
2 becomes eligible if it levies at or above the rate required for
3 eligibility by Section 8 of the Motor Fuel Tax Law.
4     The amounts apportioned under this Section for allocation
5 to road districts may be used only for bridge construction as
6 provided in this Division. So much of those amounts as are not
7 obligated under Sections 6-902 through 6-904 and for which
8 local funds have not been committed under Section 6-905 within
9 24 months of the date when such apportionment is made lapses
10 and shall not be paid to the county treasurer for distribution
11 to road districts.
