however, under no circumstances | 19 | | shall any taxing district during each of the
first two years of | 20 | | distribution of the taxes imposed by this amendatory Act of
| 21 | | 1979 be entitled to an annual allocation which is less than the | 22 | | funds such
taxing district collected from the 1978 personal | 23 | | property tax. Provided further
that under no circumstances | 24 | | shall any taxing district during the third year of
distribution | 25 | | of the taxes imposed by this amendatory Act of 1979 receive | 26 | | less
than 60% of the funds such taxing district collected from |
| | | 09800SB0492ham001 | - 5 - | LRB098 04743 HLH 45358 a |

provided for all taxing | 3 | | districts, during either of such 3 years, exceeds the
amount | 4 | | available for distribution the allocation of each taxing | 5 | | district shall
be proportionately reduced. Except as provided | 6 | | in Section 13 of this Act, the
Department shall then certify, | 7 | | pursuant to appropriation, such allocations to
the State | 8 | | Comptroller who shall pay over to the several taxing districts | 9 | | the
respective amounts allocated to them.
| 10 | | Any township which receives an allocation based in whole or | 11 | | in part upon
personal property taxes which it levied pursuant | 12 | | to Section 6-507 or 6-512
of the Illinois Highway Code and | 13 | | which was previously
required to be paid
over to a municipality | 14 | | shall immediately pay over to that municipality a
proportionate | 15 | | share of the personal property replacement funds which such
| 16 | | township receives.
| 17 | | Any municipality or township, other than a municipality | 18 | | with a population
in excess of 500,000, which receives an | 19 | | allocation based in whole or in
part on personal property taxes | 20 | | which it levied pursuant to Sections 3-1,
3-4 and 3-6 of the | 21 | | Illinois Local Library Act and which was
previously
required to | 22 | | be paid over to a public library shall immediately pay over
to | 23 | | that library a proportionate share of the personal property tax | 24 | | replacement
funds which such municipality or township | 25 | | receives; provided that if such
a public library has converted | 26 | | to a library organized under The Illinois
Public Library |

| 1 | | District Act, regardless of whether such conversion has
| 2 | | occurred on, after or before January 1, 1988, such | 3 | | proportionate share
shall be immediately paid over to the | 4 | | library district which maintains and
operates the library. | 5 | | However, any library that has converted prior to January
1, | 6 | | 1988, and which hitherto has not received the personal property | 7 | | tax
replacement funds, shall receive such funds commencing on | 8 | | January 1, 1988.
| 9 | | Any township which receives an allocation based in whole or | 10 | | in part on
personal property taxes which it levied pursuant to | 11 | | Section 1c of the Public
Graveyards Act and which taxes were | 12 | | previously required to be paid
over to or used for such public | 13 | | cemetery or cemeteries shall immediately
pay over to or use for | 14 | | such public cemetery or cemeteries a proportionate
share of the | 15 | | personal property tax replacement funds which the township
| 16 | | receives.
| 17 | | Any taxing district which receives an allocation based in | 18 | | whole or in
part upon personal property taxes which it levied | 19 | | for another
governmental body or school district in Cook County | 20 | | in 1976 or for
another governmental body or school district in | 21 | | the remainder of the
State in 1977 shall immediately pay over | 22 | | to that governmental body or
school district the amount of | 23 | | personal property replacement funds which
such governmental | 24 | | body or school district would receive directly under
the | 25 | | provisions of paragraph (2) of this Section, had it levied its | 26 | | own
taxes.

be
distributed as of the time | 3 | | allocation is required to be made shall be the
amount | 4 | | available in such Fund as of the time allocation is | 5 | | required to be made.
| 6 | | The amount available for distribution shall be the | 7 | | total amount in the
fund at such time minus the necessary | 8 | | administrative and other authorized expenses as limited
by | 9 | | the appropriation and the amount determined by: (a) $2.8 | 10 | | million for
fiscal year 1981; (b) for fiscal year 1982, | 11 | | .54% of the funds distributed
from the fund during the | 12 | | preceding fiscal year; (c) for fiscal year 1983
through | 13 | | fiscal year 1988, .54% of the funds distributed from the | 14 | | fund during
the preceding fiscal year less .02% of such | 15 | | fund for fiscal year 1983 and
less .02% of such funds for | 16 | | each fiscal year thereafter; (d) for fiscal

of the prior fiscal year; (e) for | 19 | | fiscal year 2012 and beyond, a sufficient amount to pay (i) | 20 | | stipends, additional compensation, salary reimbursements, | 21 | | and other amounts directed to be paid out of this Fund for | 22 | | local officials as authorized or required by statute and | 23 | | (ii) no more than 105% of the actual administrative | 24 | | expenses of the prior fiscal year, including payment of the | 25 | | ordinary and contingent expenses of the Property Tax Appeal | 26 | | Board and payment of the expenses of the Department of |

| 1 | | Revenue incurred in administering the collection and | 2 | | distribution of moneys paid into the Fund; or (f) for | 3 | | fiscal years 2012 and 2013 only, a sufficient amount to pay | 4 | | stipends, additional compensation, salary reimbursements, | 5 | | and other amounts directed to be paid out of this Fund for | 6 | | regional offices and officials as authorized or required by | 7 | | statute. Such portion of the fund shall be determined after
| 8 | | the transfer into the General Revenue Fund due to refunds, | 9 | | if any, paid
from the General Revenue Fund during the | 10 | | preceding quarter. If at any time,
for any reason, there is | 11 | | insufficient amount in the Personal Property
Tax | 12 | | Replacement Fund for payments for regional offices and | 13 | | officials or local officials or payment of costs of | 14 | | administration or for transfers
due to refunds at the end | 15 | | of any particular month, the amount of such
insufficiency | 16 | | shall be carried over for the purposes of payments for | 17 | | regional offices and officials, local officials, transfers | 18 | | into the
General Revenue Fund, and costs of administration | 19 | | to the
following month or months. Net replacement revenue | 20 | | held, and defined above,
shall be transferred by the | 21 | | Treasurer and Comptroller to the Personal Property
Tax | 22 | | Replacement Fund within 10 days of such certification.
| 23 | | (2) Each quarterly allocation shall first be | 24 | | apportioned in the
following manner: 51.65% for taxing | 25 | | districts in Cook County and 48.35%
for taxing districts in | 26 | | the remainder of the State.

|
| 1 | | The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each taxing | 2 | | district
outside Cook County shall be the ratio which the Tax | 3 | | Base of that taxing
district bears to the Downstate Tax Base. | 4 | | The Tax Base of each taxing
district outside of Cook County is | 5 | | the personal property tax collections
for that taxing district | 6 | | for the 1977 tax year. The Downstate Tax Base
is the personal | 7 | | property tax collections for all taxing districts in the
State | 8 | | outside of Cook County for the 1977 tax year. The Department of
| 9 | | Revenue shall have authority to review for accuracy and | 10 | | completeness the
personal property tax collections for each | 11 | | taxing district outside Cook
County for the 1977 tax year.
| 12 | | The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each Cook County | 13 | | taxing
district shall be the ratio which the Tax Base of that | 14 | | taxing district
bears to the Cook County Tax Base. The Tax Base | 15 | | of each Cook County
taxing district is the personal property | 16 | | tax collections for that taxing
district for the 1976 tax year. | 17 | | The Cook County Tax Base is the
personal property tax | 18 | | collections for all taxing districts in Cook
County for the | 19 | | 1976 tax year. The Department of Revenue shall have
authority | 20 | | to review for accuracy and completeness the personal property | 21 | | tax
collections for each taxing district within Cook County for | 22 | | the 1976 tax year.
| 23 | | For all purposes of this Section 12, amounts paid to a | 24 | | taxing district
for such tax years as may be applicable by a | 25 | | foreign corporation under the
provisions of Section 7-202 of | 26 | | the Public Utilities Act, as amended,
shall be deemed to be |
| | | 09800SB0492ham001 | - 10 - | LRB098 04743 HLH 45358 a |
|
| 1 | | personal property taxes collected by such taxing district
for | 2 | | such tax years as may be applicable. The Director shall | 3 | | determine from the
Illinois Commerce Commission, for any tax | 4 | | year as may be applicable, the
amounts so paid by any such | 5 | | foreign corporation to any and all taxing
districts. The | 6 | | Illinois Commerce Commission shall furnish such information to
| 7 | | the Director. For all purposes of this Section 12, the Director | 8 | | shall deem such
amounts to be collected personal property taxes | 9 | | of each such taxing district
for the applicable tax year or | 10 | | years.
| 11 | | Taxing districts located both in Cook County and in one or | 12 | | more other
counties shall receive both a Cook County allocation | 13 | | and a Downstate
allocation determined in the same way as all | 14 | | other taxing districts.
| 15 | | If any taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979 ceases | 16 | | to exist,
or discontinues its operations, its Tax Base shall | 17 | | thereafter be deemed
to be zero. If the powers, duties and | 18 | | obligations of the discontinued
taxing district are assumed by | 19 | | another taxing district, the Tax Base of
the discontinued | 20 | | taxing district shall be added to the Tax Base of the
taxing | 21 | | district assuming such powers, duties and obligations.
| 22 | | If two or more taxing districts in existence on July 1, | 23 | | 1979, or a
successor or successors thereto shall consolidate | 24 | | into one taxing
district, the Tax Base of such consolidated | 25 | | taxing district shall be the
sum of the Tax Bases of each of | 26 | | the taxing districts which have consolidated.
|
| | | 09800SB0492ham001 | - 11 - | LRB098 04743 HLH 45358 a |
|
| 1 | | If a single taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979, | 2 | | or a
successor or successors thereto shall be divided into two | 3 | | or more
separate taxing districts, the tax base of the taxing | 4 | | district so
divided shall be allocated to each of the resulting | 5 | | taxing districts in
proportion to the then current equalized | 6 | | assessed value of each resulting
taxing district.
| 7 | | If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is | 8 | | disconnected
and annexed to another taxing district of the same | 9 | | type, the Tax Base of
the taxing district from which | 10 | | disconnection was made shall be reduced
in proportion to the | 11 | | then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected
| 12 | | territory as compared with the then current equalized assessed | 13 | | value within the
entire territory of the taxing district prior | 14 | | to disconnection, and the
amount of such reduction shall be | 15 | | added to the Tax Base of the taxing
district to which | 16 | | annexation is made.
| 17 | | If a community college district is created after July 1, | 18 | | 1979,
beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of | 19 | | 1995, its Tax Base
shall be 3.5% of the sum of the personal | 20 | | property tax collected for the
1977 tax year within the | 21 | | territorial jurisdiction of the district.
| 22 | | The amounts allocated and paid to taxing districts pursuant | 23 | | to
the provisions of this amendatory Act of 1979 shall be | 24 | | deemed to be
substitute revenues for the revenues derived from | 25 | | taxes imposed on
personal property pursuant to the provisions | 26 | | of the "Revenue Act of
1939" or "An Act for the assessment and |
| | | 09800SB0492ham001 | - 12 - | LRB098 04743 HLH 45358 a |
|
| 1 | | taxation of private car line
companies", approved July 22, | 2 | | 1943, as amended, or Section 414 of the
Illinois Insurance | 3 | | Code, prior to the abolition of such taxes and shall
be used | 4 | | for the same purposes as the revenues derived from ad valorem
| 5 | | taxes on real estate.
| 6 | | Monies received by any taxing districts from the Personal | 7 | | Property
Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward | 8 | | payment of the proportionate
amount of debt service which was | 9 | | previously levied and collected from
extensions against | 10 | | personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31,
1978 | 11 | | and next applied toward payment of the proportionate share of | 12 | | the pension
or retirement obligations of the taxing district | 13 | | which were previously levied
and collected from extensions | 14 | | against personal property. For each such
outstanding bond | 15 | | issue, the County Clerk shall determine the percentage of the
| 16 | | debt service which was collected from extensions against real | 17 | | estate in the
taxing district for 1978 taxes payable in 1979, | 18 | | as related to the total amount
of such levies and collections | 19 | | from extensions against both real and personal
property. For | 20 | | 1979 and subsequent years' taxes, the County Clerk shall levy
| 21 | | and extend taxes against the real estate of each taxing | 22 | | district which will
yield the said percentage or percentages of | 23 | | the debt service on such
outstanding bonds. The balance of the | 24 | | amount necessary to fully pay such debt
service shall | 25 | | constitute a first and prior lien upon the monies
received by | 26 | | each such taxing district through the Personal Property Tax
|
| | | 09800SB0492ham001 | - 13 - | LRB098 04743 HLH 45358 a |
|
| 1 | | Replacement Fund and shall be first applied or set aside for | 2 | | such purpose.
In counties having fewer than 3,000,000 | 3 | | inhabitants, the amendments to
this paragraph as made by this | 4 | | amendatory Act of 1980 shall be first
applicable to 1980 taxes | 5 | | to be collected in 1981.
