computing the limiting rate. | 4 | | The denominator shall not include new
property or the recovered | 5 | | tax increment
value.
If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a | 6 | | limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held | 7 | | after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable | 8 | | limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate | 9 | | or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the | 10 | | case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase, | 11 | | the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth
in the | 12 | | proposition approved by the voters for each of the years | 13 | | specified in the proposition, after
which the limiting rate of | 14 | | the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided. | 15 | | In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum | 16 | | approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the | 17 | | limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that | 18 | | generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for | 19 | | that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the | 20 | | voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county | 21 | | clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for | 22 | | tax year 2012.

| 19 | | extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest | 20 | | aggregate extension
in any of the last 3 preceding levy years | 21 | | shall be used for the purpose of
computing the limiting rate. | 22 | | The denominator shall not include new
property or the recovered | 23 | | tax increment
value.
If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a | 24 | | limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held | 25 | | after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable | 26 | | limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate |
| | | HB6630 | - 36 - | LRB099 24064 HLH 51697 b |
|
| 1 | | or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the | 2 | | case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase, | 3 | | the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth
in the | 4 | | proposition approved by the voters for each of the years | 5 | | specified in the proposition, after
which the limiting rate of | 6 | | the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided. | 7 | | In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum | 8 | | approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the | 9 | | limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that | 10 | | generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for | 11 | | that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the | 12 | | voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county | 13 | | clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for | 14 | | tax year 2012.

located in one or more counties in | 19 | | each of which the voters have approved a
referendum | 20 | | under this Section prior to the effective date of this | 21 | | amendatory
Act of 1997.
For purposes of this Section, | 22 | | in determining whether a majority of the
equalized | 23 | | assessed valuation of the taxing district is located in | 24 | | one or more
counties in which the voters have approved | 25 | | a referendum under this Section, the
equalized | 26 | | assessed valuation of the taxing district in any |
| | | HB6630 | - 45 - | LRB099 24064 HLH 51697 b |
|
| 1 | | affected county
shall be included with the equalized | 2 | | assessed value of the taxing district in
counties in | 3 | | which the voters have approved the referendum.
| 4 | | (3) With respect to taxing districts that do not have | 5 | | all of
their equalized
assessed valuation located in a | 6 | | single county and to which paragraph (2) of
subsection (e) | 7 | | is not applicable, if each county other than an
affected | 8 | | county in which any of
the equalized assessed valuation of | 9 | | the taxing
district is located has held a referendum under | 10 | | this Section at any election,
except a consolidated primary | 11 | | election, held in any year and if a majority of
the | 12 | | equalized
assessed valuation of the taxing district is | 13 | | located in one or more counties
that have each approved a | 14 | | referendum under this Section,
then this Law shall become | 15 | | applicable to the taxing district on
January 1 of the year | 16 | | following the year in which the last referendum in a
county | 17 | | in which the taxing district has any equalized assessed | 18 | | valuation is
held.
For the purposes of this Law, the last | 19 | | referendum shall be deemed to be the
referendum making this | 20 | | Law applicable to the taxing district. For purposes
of this | 21 | | Section, in determining whether a majority of the equalized | 22 | | assessed
valuation of the taxing district is located in one | 23 | | or more counties that have
approved a referendum under this | 24 | | Section, the equalized assessed valuation of
the taxing | 25 | | district in any affected county shall be included with the | 26 | | equalized
assessed value of the taxing district in counties |
| | | HB6630 | - 46 - | LRB099 24064 HLH 51697 b |
|
| 1 | | that have approved the
referendum.
| 2 | | (f) Immediately after a referendum is held under this | 3 | | Section, the county
clerk of the
county holding the referendum | 4 | | shall give notice of the referendum having been
held and its | 5 | | results to all taxing districts that have all
or a portion of | 6 | | their equalized assessed valuation located in the county, the
| 7 | | county clerk of any other county in which any of the equalized | 8 | | assessed
valuation of any taxing district is located, and the | 9 | | Department of Revenue.
After the last referendum affecting a | 10 | | multi-county taxing district is held, the
Department of Revenue
| 11 | | shall determine whether the taxing district is subject to this | 12 | | Law
and, if so, shall notify the taxing district and the county | 13 | | clerks of all of
the
counties in which a portion of the | 14 | | equalized assessed valuation of the
taxing district is located | 15 | | that, beginning the following January 1, the
taxing
district is | 16 | | subject to this Law.
For each taxing district subject to | 17 | | paragraph (2) of subsection (e) of this
Section, the Department | 18 | | of Revenue shall notify the taxing district and the
county | 19 | | clerks of all of the counties in which a portion of the | 20 | | equalized
assessed valuation of the taxing district is located | 21 | | that, beginning January 1,
1997, the taxing district is subject | 22 | | to this Law.
| 23 | | (g) Referenda held under this Section shall be conducted in | 24 | | accordance with
the Election Code.

Referenda on removal of the applicability of | 3 | | the Property Tax
Extension Limitation Law to non-home rule | 4 | | taxing districts.
| 5 | | (a) The provisions of this Section do not apply to a taxing | 6 | | district that is
subject to this Law because a majority of its | 7 | | 1990 equalized assessed value is
in a county or counties | 8 | | contiguous to a county of 3,000,000 or more
inhabitants, or | 9 | | because a majority of its 1994 equalized assessed value is in
| 10 | | an
affected county and the taxing district was not subject to | 11 | | this Law before the
1995 levy year.
| 12 | | (b) For purposes of this Section only:
| 13 | | "Taxing district" means any non-home rule taxing district | 14 | | that became subject
to this Law under Section 18-213 of this | 15 | | Law.
| 16 | | "Equalized assessed valuation" means the equalized | 17 | | assessed valuation for a
taxing district for the immediately | 18 | | preceding levy year.
| 19 | | (c) The county board of a county that became subject to | 20 | | this Law by a
referendum approved by the voters of the county | 21 | | under Section 18-213 may, by
ordinance or resolution, in the | 22 | | manner set forth in this Section, submit to the
voters of the | 23 | | county the question of whether this Law applies to all non-home
| 24 | | rule taxing
districts that have all or a portion of their | 25 | | equalized assessed valuation
situated in the county in the | 26 | | manner set forth in this Section.

| 1 | | (d) The ordinance or resolution shall request the | 2 | | submission of the
proposition at any election, except a | 3 | | consolidated primary election, for the
purpose of voting for or | 4 | | against the continued application of the Property Tax
Extension | 5 | | Limitation Law to all non-home rule taxing districts that have | 6 | | all or
a portion of their equalized assessed valuation situated | 7 | | in the county.
| 8 | | The question shall be placed on a separate ballot and shall | 9 | | be in
substantially the following form:
| 10 | | Shall
the Property Tax
Extension Limitation Law (35 | 11 | | ILCS 200/18-185 through 35 ILCS 200/18-245), which
limits | 12 | | annual property tax extension increases, apply to non-home | 13 | | rule taxing
districts with all or a portion of their | 14 | | equalized assessed valuation located
in (name of county)?
| 15 | | Votes on the question shall be recorded as "yes" or "no".
| 16 | | (e) The county clerk shall order the proposition submitted | 17 | | to the electors
of the county at the election specified in the | 18 | | ordinance or resolution. If
part of the county is under the | 19 | | jurisdiction of a board or boards of election
commissioners, | 20 | | the county clerk shall submit a certified copy of the ordinance
| 21 | | or resolution to each board of election commissioners, which | 22 | | shall order the
proposition submitted to the electors of the | 23 | | taxing district within its
jurisdiction at the election | 24 | | specified in the ordinance or resolution.
| 25 | | (f) With respect to taxing districts having all of their | 26 | | equalized assessed
valuation located in one county, if a |
| | | HB6630 | - 49 - | LRB099 24064 HLH 51697 b |
|
| 1 | | majority of the votes cast on the
proposition are against the | 2 | | proposition, then this Law shall not apply to the
taxing | 3 | | district beginning on January 1 of the year following the date | 4 | | of
the referendum.
| 5 | | (g) With respect to taxing districts that do not have all | 6 | | of their
equalized assessed valuation located in a single | 7 | | county, if both of the
following conditions are met, then this | 8 | | Law shall no longer apply to the taxing
district beginning on | 9 | | January 1 of the year following the date of the
referendum.
| 10 | | (1) Each county in which the district has any equalized | 11 | | assessed valuation
must either, (i) have held a referendum | 12 | | under this Section, (ii) be an affected
county, or (iii) | 13 | | have held a referendum under Section 18-213 at which the
| 14 | | voters rejected the proposition at the most recent election | 15 | | at which the
question was on the ballot in the county.
| 16 | | (2) The majority of the equalized assessed valuation of | 17 | | the taxing
district,
other than any equalized assessed | 18 | | valuation in an affected county, is in one or
more counties | 19 | | in which the voters rejected the proposition. For purposes | 20 | | of
this
Section, in determining whether a majority of the | 21 | | equalized assessed valuation
of the taxing district is | 22 | | located in one or more counties in which the voters
have | 23 | | rejected the proposition under this Section, the equalized | 24 | | assessed
valuation of any taxing district in a county which | 25 | | has held a referendum under
Section 18-213 at which the | 26 | | voters rejected that proposition, at the most
recent |
| | | HB6630 | - 50 - | LRB099 24064 HLH 51697 b |
|
| 1 | | election at which the question was on the ballot in the | 2 | | county, will be
included with the equalized assessed value | 3 | | of the taxing district in counties
in
which the voters have | 4 | | rejected the referendum held under this Section.
| 5 | | (h) Immediately after a referendum is held under this | 6 | | Section, the county
clerk of the county holding the referendum | 7 | | shall give notice of the referendum
having been held and its | 8 | | results to all taxing districts that have all or a
portion of | 9 | | their equalized assessed valuation located in the county, the | 10 | | county
clerk of any other county in which any of the equalized | 11 | | assessed valuation of
any such taxing district is located, and | 12 | | the Department of Revenue. After the
last
referendum affecting | 13 | | a multi-county taxing district is held, the Department of
| 14 | | Revenue shall determine whether the taxing district is no | 15 | | longer subject to
this Law and, if the taxing district is no | 16 | | longer subject to this Law, the
Department of Revenue shall | 17 | | notify the taxing district and the county clerks of
all of the | 18 | | counties in which a portion of the equalized assessed valuation | 19 | | of
the taxing district is located that, beginning on January 1 | 20 | | of the
year following the date of the last
referendum, the | 21 | | taxing district is no longer subject to this Law.
| 22 | | (i) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no | 23 | | referendum may be submitted under this Section for taxable year | 24 | | 2016 or thereafter. | 25 | | (Source: P.A. 89-718, eff. 3-7-97.)
