09900HB0318ham001- 31 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1    (105 ILCS 5/18-8.05)
2    Sec. 18-8.05. Basis for apportionment of general State
3financial aid and supplemental general State aid to the common
4schools for the 1998-1999 and subsequent school years.
 
5(A) General Provisions.
6    (1) The provisions of this Section apply to the 1998-1999
7and subsequent school years. The system of general State
8financial aid provided for in this Section is designed to
9assure that, through a combination of State financial aid and
10required local resources, the financial support provided each
11pupil in Average Daily Attendance equals or exceeds a
12prescribed per pupil Foundation Level. This formula approach
13imputes a level of per pupil Available Local Resources and
14provides for the basis to calculate a per pupil level of
15general State financial aid that, when added to Available Local
16Resources, equals or exceeds the Foundation Level. The amount
17of per pupil general State financial aid for school districts,
18in general, varies in inverse relation to Available Local
19Resources. Per pupil amounts are based upon each school
20district's Average Daily Attendance as that term is defined in
21this Section.
22    (2) In addition to general State financial aid, school
23districts with specified levels or concentrations of pupils
24from low income households are eligible to receive supplemental

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 32 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1general State financial aid grants as provided pursuant to
2subsection (H). The supplemental State aid grants provided for
3school districts under subsection (H) shall be appropriated for
4distribution to school districts as part of the same line item
5in which the general State financial aid of school districts is
6appropriated under this Section.
7    (3) To receive financial assistance under this Section,
8school districts are required to file claims with the State
9Board of Education, subject to the following requirements:
10        (a) Any school district which fails for any given
11    school year to maintain school as required by law, or to
12    maintain a recognized school is not eligible to file for
13    such school year any claim upon the Common School Fund. In
14    case of nonrecognition of one or more attendance centers in
15    a school district otherwise operating recognized schools,
16    the claim of the district shall be reduced in the
17    proportion which the Average Daily Attendance in the
18    attendance center or centers bear to the Average Daily
19    Attendance in the school district. A "recognized school"
20    means any public school which meets the standards as
21    established for recognition by the State Board of
22    Education. A school district or attendance center not
23    having recognition status at the end of a school term is
24    entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal
25    claim which was filed while it was recognized.
26        (b) School district claims filed under this Section are

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 33 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1    subject to Sections 18-9 and 18-12, except as otherwise
2    provided in this Section.
3        (c) If a school district operates a full year school
4    under Section 10-19.1, the general State aid to the school
5    district shall be determined by the State Board of
6    Education in accordance with this Section as near as may be
7    applicable.
8        (d) (Blank).
9    (4) Except as provided in subsections (H) and (L), the
10board of any district receiving any of the grants provided for
11in this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
12for which that board is authorized to make expenditures by law.
13    School districts are not required to exert a minimum
14Operating Tax Rate in order to qualify for assistance under
15this Section.
16    (5) As used in this Section the following terms, when
17capitalized, shall have the meaning ascribed herein:
18        (a) "Average Daily Attendance": A count of pupil
19    attendance in school, averaged as provided for in
20    subsection (C) and utilized in deriving per pupil financial
21    support levels.
22        (b) "Available Local Resources": A computation of
23    local financial support, calculated on the basis of Average
24    Daily Attendance and derived as provided pursuant to
25    subsection (D).
26        (c) "Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes":

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 34 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1    Funds paid to local school districts pursuant to "An Act in
2    relation to the abolition of ad valorem personal property
3    tax and the replacement of revenues lost thereby, and
4    amending and repealing certain Acts and parts of Acts in
5    connection therewith", certified August 14, 1979, as
6    amended (Public Act 81-1st S.S.-1).
7        (d) "Foundation Level": A prescribed level of per pupil
8    financial support as provided for in subsection (B).
9        (e) "Operating Tax Rate": All school district property
10    taxes extended for all purposes, except Bond and Interest,
11    Summer School, Rent, Capital Improvement, and Vocational
12    Education Building purposes.
 
13(B) Foundation Level.
14    (1) The Foundation Level is a figure established by the
15State representing the minimum level of per pupil financial
16support that should be available to provide for the basic
17education of each pupil in Average Daily Attendance. As set
18forth in this Section, each school district is assumed to exert
19a sufficient local taxing effort such that, in combination with
20the aggregate of general State financial aid provided the
21district, an aggregate of State and local resources are
22available to meet the basic education needs of pupils in the
23district.
24    (2) For the 1998-1999 school year, the Foundation Level of

16(C) Average Daily Attendance.
17    (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant
18to subsection (E), an Average Daily Attendance figure shall be
19utilized. The Average Daily Attendance figure for formula
20calculation purposes shall be the monthly average of the actual
21number of pupils in attendance of each school district, as
22further averaged for the best 3 months of pupil attendance for
23each school district. In compiling the figures for the number
24of pupils in attendance, school districts and the State Board
25of Education shall, for purposes of general State aid funding,

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 36 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1conform attendance figures to the requirements of subsection
2(F).
3    (2) The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
4subsection (E) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
5school year immediately preceding the school year for which
6general State aid is being calculated or the average of the
7attendance data for the 3 preceding school years, whichever is
8greater. The Average Daily Attendance figures utilized in
9subsection (H) shall be the requisite attendance data for the
10school year immediately preceding the school year for which
11general State aid is being calculated.
 
12(D) Available Local Resources.
13    (1) For purposes of calculating general State aid pursuant
14to subsection (E), a representation of Available Local
15Resources per pupil, as that term is defined and determined in
16this subsection, shall be utilized. Available Local Resources
17per pupil shall include a calculated dollar amount representing
18local school district revenues from local property taxes and
19from Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes, expressed
20on the basis of pupils in Average Daily Attendance. Calculation
21of Available Local Resources shall exclude any tax amnesty
22funds received as a result of Public Act 93-26.
23    (2) In determining a school district's revenue from local
24property taxes, the State Board of Education shall utilize the
25equalized assessed valuation of all taxable property of each

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 37 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1school district as of September 30 of the previous year. The
2equalized assessed valuation utilized shall be obtained and
3determined as provided in subsection (G).
4    (3) For school districts maintaining grades kindergarten
5through 12, local property tax revenues per pupil shall be
6calculated as the product of the applicable equalized assessed
7valuation for the district multiplied by 3.00%, and divided by
8the district's Average Daily Attendance figure. For school
9districts maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, local
10property tax revenues per pupil shall be calculated as the
11product of the applicable equalized assessed valuation for the
12district multiplied by 2.30%, and divided by the district's
13Average Daily Attendance figure. For school districts
14maintaining grades 9 through 12, local property tax revenues
15per pupil shall be the applicable equalized assessed valuation
16of the district multiplied by 1.05%, and divided by the
17district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
18    For partial elementary unit districts created pursuant to
19Article 11E of this Code, local property tax revenues per pupil
20shall be calculated as the product of the equalized assessed
21valuation for property within the partial elementary unit
22district for elementary purposes, as defined in Article 11E of
23this Code, multiplied by 2.06% and divided by the district's
24Average Daily Attendance figure, plus the product of the
25equalized assessed valuation for property within the partial
26elementary unit district for high school purposes, as defined

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 38 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1in Article 11E of this Code, multiplied by 0.94% and divided by
2the district's Average Daily Attendance figure.
3    (4) The Corporate Personal Property Replacement Taxes paid
4to each school district during the calendar year one year
5before the calendar year in which a school year begins, divided
6by the Average Daily Attendance figure for that district, shall
7be added to the local property tax revenues per pupil as
8derived by the application of the immediately preceding
9paragraph (3). The sum of these per pupil figures for each
10school district shall constitute Available Local Resources as
11that term is utilized in subsection (E) in the calculation of
12general State aid.
 
13(E) Computation of General State Aid.
14    (1) For each school year, the amount of general State aid
15allotted to a school district shall be computed by the State
16Board of Education as provided in this subsection.
17    (2) For any school district for which Available Local
18Resources per pupil is less than the product of 0.93 times the
19Foundation Level, general State aid for that district shall be
20calculated as an amount equal to the Foundation Level minus
21Available Local Resources, multiplied by the Average Daily
22Attendance of the school district.
23    (3) For any school district for which Available Local
24Resources per pupil is equal to or greater than the product of
250.93 times the Foundation Level and less than the product of

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 39 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

11.75 times the Foundation Level, the general State aid per
2pupil shall be a decimal proportion of the Foundation Level
3derived using a linear algorithm. Under this linear algorithm,
4the calculated general State aid per pupil shall decline in
5direct linear fashion from 0.07 times the Foundation Level for
6a school district with Available Local Resources equal to the
7product of 0.93 times the Foundation Level, to 0.05 times the
8Foundation Level for a school district with Available Local
9Resources equal to the product of 1.75 times the Foundation
10Level. The allocation of general State aid for school districts
11subject to this paragraph 3 shall be the calculated general
12State aid per pupil figure multiplied by the Average Daily
13Attendance of the school district.
14    (4) For any school district for which Available Local
15Resources per pupil equals or exceeds the product of 1.75 times
16the Foundation Level, the general State aid for the school
17district shall be calculated as the product of $218 multiplied
18by the Average Daily Attendance of the school district.
19    (5) The amount of general State aid allocated to a school
20district for the 1999-2000 school year meeting the requirements
21set forth in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) shall be increased
22by an amount equal to the general State aid that would have
23been received by the district for the 1998-1999 school year by
24utilizing the Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed
25Valuation as calculated in paragraph (4) of subsection (G) less
26the general State aid allotted for the 1998-1999 school year.

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 40 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1This amount shall be deemed a one time increase, and shall not
2affect any future general State aid allocations.
 
3(F) Compilation of Average Daily Attendance.
4    (1) Each school district shall, by July 1 of each year,
5submit to the State Board of Education, on forms prescribed by
6the State Board of Education, attendance figures for the school
7year that began in the preceding calendar year. The attendance
8information so transmitted shall identify the average daily
9attendance figures for each month of the school year. Beginning
10with the general State aid claim form for the 2002-2003 school
11year, districts shall calculate Average Daily Attendance as
12provided in subdivisions (a), (b), and (c) of this paragraph

09900HB0318ham001- 41 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1    to the month of May. The average daily attendance for the
2    year-round buildings shall be computed as provided in
3    subdivision (b) of this paragraph (1). To calculate the
4    Average Daily Attendance for the district, the average
5    daily attendance for the year-round buildings shall be
6    multiplied by the days in session for the non-year-round
7    buildings for each month and added to the monthly
8    attendance of the non-year-round buildings.
9    Except as otherwise provided in this Section, days of
10attendance by pupils shall be counted only for sessions of not
11less than 5 clock hours of school work per day under direct
12supervision of: (i) teachers, or (ii) non-teaching personnel or
13volunteer personnel when engaging in non-teaching duties and
14supervising in those instances specified in subsection (a) of

09900HB0318ham001- 45 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1        (h) A recognized kindergarten which provides for only
2    1/2 day of attendance by each pupil shall not have more
3    than 1/2 day of attendance counted in any one day. However,
4    kindergartens may count 2 1/2 days of attendance in any 5
5    consecutive school days. When a pupil attends such a
6    kindergarten for 2 half days on any one school day, the
7    pupil shall have the following day as a day absent from
8    school, unless the school district obtains permission in
9    writing from the State Superintendent of Education.
10    Attendance at kindergartens which provide for a full day of
11    attendance by each pupil shall be counted the same as
12    attendance by first grade pupils. Only the first year of

5    on the basis of one-fifth day of attendance for every clock
6    hour of instruction attended in the remote educational
7    program, provided that, in any month, the school district
8    may not claim for a student enrolled in a remote
9    educational program more days of attendance than the
10    maximum number of days of attendance the district can claim

09900HB0318ham001- 47 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1and (ii) the limiting rate for all school districts subject to
2property tax extension limitations as imposed under the
3Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
4    The Department of Revenue shall add to the equalized
5assessed value of all taxable property of each school district
6situated entirely or partially within a county that is or was
7subject to the provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the
8Property Tax Code (a) an amount equal to the total amount by
9which the homestead exemption allowed under Section 15-176 or
1015-177 of the Property Tax Code for real property situated in
11that school district exceeds the total amount that would have
12been allowed in that school district if the maximum reduction
13under Section 15-176 was (i) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500 in
14all other counties in tax year 2003 or (ii) $5,000 in all
15counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and (b) an amount
16equal to the aggregate amount for the taxable year of all
17additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
18Code for owners with a household income of $30,000 or less. The
19county clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
20provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
21shall annually calculate and certify to the Department of
22Revenue for each school district all homestead exemption
23amounts under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
24and all amounts of additional exemptions under Section 15-175
25of the Property Tax Code for owners with a household income of
26$30,000 or less. It is the intent of this paragraph that if the

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 48 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1general homestead exemption for a parcel of property is
2determined under Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax
3Code rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
4Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the
5difference, if any, between the amount of the general homestead
6exemption allowed for that parcel of property under Section
715-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the amount that
8would have been allowed had the general homestead exemption for
9that parcel of property been determined under Section 15-175 of
10the Property Tax Code. It is further the intent of this
11paragraph that if additional exemptions are allowed under
12Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners with a
13household income of less than $30,000, then the calculation of
14Available Local Resources shall not be affected by the
15difference, if any, because of those additional exemptions.
16    This equalized assessed valuation, as adjusted further by
17the requirements of this subsection, shall be utilized in the
18calculation of Available Local Resources.
19    (2) The equalized assessed valuation in paragraph (1) shall
20be adjusted, as applicable, in the following manner:
21        (a) For the purposes of calculating State aid under
22    this Section, with respect to any part of a school district
23    within a redevelopment project area in respect to which a
24    municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
25    financing pursuant to the Tax Increment Allocation
26    Redevelopment Act, Sections 11-74.4-1 through 11-74.4-11

1    of the Illinois Municipal Code or the Industrial Jobs
2    Recovery Law, Sections 11-74.6-1 through 11-74.6-50 of the
3    Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current equalized
4    assessed valuation of real property located in any such
5    project area which is attributable to an increase above the
6    total initial equalized assessed valuation of such
7    property shall be used as part of the equalized assessed
8    valuation of the district, until such time as all
9    redevelopment project costs have been paid, as provided in
10    Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment Allocation
11    Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35 of the
12    Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose of the
13    equalized assessed valuation of the district, the total
14    initial equalized assessed valuation or the current
15    equalized assessed valuation, whichever is lower, shall be
16    used until such time as all redevelopment project costs
17    have been paid.
18        (b) The real property equalized assessed valuation for
19    a school district shall be adjusted by subtracting from the
20    real property value as equalized or assessed by the
21    Department of Revenue for the district an amount computed
22    by dividing the amount of any abatement of taxes under
23    Section 18-170 of the Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a
24    district maintaining grades kindergarten through 12, by
25    2.30% for a district maintaining grades kindergarten
26    through 8, or by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9

 

 

09900HB0318ham001- 50 -LRB099 04451 KTG 33337 a

1    through 12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing
2    the amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
3    of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
4    percentage rates for district type as specified in this
5    subparagraph (b).
6    (3) For the 1999-2000 school year and each school year
7thereafter, if a school district meets all of the criteria of
8this subsection (G)(3), the school district's Available Local
9Resources shall be calculated under subsection (D) using the
10district's Extension Limitation Equalized Assessed Valuation
11as calculated under this subsection (G)(3).
12    For purposes of this subsection (G)(3) the following terms
13shall have the following meanings:
14        "Budget Year": The school year for which general State

10    (4) For the purposes of calculating general State aid for
11the 1999-2000 school year only, if a school district
12experienced a triennial reassessment on the equalized assessed
13valuation used in calculating its general State financial aid
14apportionment for the 1998-1999 school year, the State Board of
15Education shall calculate the Extension Limitation Equalized

13of contiguous elementary school districts, whose boundaries
14are coterminous with the high school district, or (ii) a high
15school district within 2 counties and serving 5 elementary
16school districts, whose boundaries are coterminous with the
17high school district, has a percentage decrease from the 2 most
18recent federal censuses in the low-income eligible pupil count
19and there is a percentage increase in the total low-income

1(O) References.
2    (1) References in other laws to the various subdivisions of
3Section 18-8 as that Section existed before its repeal and
4replacement by this Section 18-8.05 shall be deemed to refer to
5the corresponding provisions of this Section 18-8.05, to the

7    (2) References in other laws to State Chapter 1 funds shall
8be deemed to refer to the supplemental general State aid
9provided under subsection (H) of this Section.
 
10(P) Public Act 93-838 and Public Act 93-808 make inconsistent
11changes to this Section. Under Section 6 of the Statute on
12Statutes there is an irreconcilable conflict between Public Act
1393-808 and Public Act 93-838. Public Act 93-838, being the last
14acted upon, is controlling. The text of Public Act 93-838 is
15the law regardless of the text of Public Act 93-808.
 
16(Q) State Fiscal Year 2015 Payments.
17    For payments made for State fiscal year 2015, the State

14years 2009 through 2018, an annual assessment on inpatient
15services is imposed on each hospital provider in an amount
16equal to $218.38 multiplied by the difference of the hospital's
17occupied bed days less the hospital's Medicare bed days,
18provided, however, that the amount of $218.38 shall be
19increased by a uniform percentage to generate an amount equal
20to 75% of the State share of the payments authorized under
21Section 12-5, with such increase only taking effect upon the
22date that a State share for such payments is required under
23federal law. For the period of April through June 2015, the
24amount of $218.38 used to calculate the assessment under this

4annual assessment under this paragraph.
5    For State fiscal years 2009 through 2014 and after, a
6hospital's occupied bed days and Medicare bed days shall be

10ending on December 31, 2006, without regard to any subsequent
11adjustments or changes to such data. If a hospital's 2005
12Medicare cost report is not contained in the Healthcare Cost
13Report Information System, then the Illinois Department may
14obtain the hospital provider's occupied bed days and Medicare
15bed days from any source available, including, but not limited

2percentage to generate an amount equal to 25% of the State
3share of the payments authorized under Section 12-5, with such
4increase only taking effect upon the date that a State share
5for such payments is required under federal law. For the period
6beginning June 10, 2012 through June 30, 2012, the annual
7assessment on outpatient services shall be prorated by
8multiplying the assessment amount by a fraction, the numerator
9of which is 21 days and the denominator of which is 365 days.
10For the period of April through June 2015, the amount of
11.008766 used to calculate the assessment under this paragraph
12shall, by emergency rule under subsection (s) of Section 5-45
13of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, be increased by a
14uniform percentage to generate $6,750,000 in the aggregate for
15that period from all hospitals subject to the annual assessment
16under this paragraph.
17    For the portion of State fiscal year 2012, beginning June
1810, 2012 through June 30, 2012, and State fiscal years 2013

6Section 5-5b.1, any updates to the system shall not result in
7any diminishment of the overall effective rates of
8reimbursement as of the implementation date of the new system
9(July 1, 2014). These updates shall not preclude variations in
10any individual component of the system or hospital rate
11variations. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the
12Department from increasing the rates of reimbursement or
13developing payments to ensure access to hospital services.
14Nothing in this Section shall be construed to guarantee a
15minimum amount of spending in the aggregate or per hospital as
