| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing | 5 | | Sections 3-40 and 4-20 as follows:
| 6 | | (35 ILCS 200/3-40)
| 7 | | Sec. 3-40. Compensation of supervisors of assessments.
| 8 | | (a) A supervisor of assessments shall receive annual | 9 | | compensation in an

| 11 | | In counties with less than 14,000 inhabitants, not | 12 | | less than $7,500;

| 21 | | In counties with 200,000 or more but less than 300,000 | 22 | | inhabitants, not
less than $13,000;
| 23 | | In counties with 300,000 or more but less than |
| | | HB0555 | - 2 - | LRB102 10065 AWJ 15385 b |
|
| 1 | | 1,000,000 inhabitants, not
less than $15,000.
| 2 | | For purposes of this subsection, the number of inhabitants | 3 | | shall be
determined by the latest Federal decennial or special | 4 | | census of the county.
| 5 | | (b) Elected supervisors of assessments who began a term of | 6 | | office
before December 1, 1990 shall be compensated at the | 7 | | rate of their base
salary. "Base salary" is the compensation | 8 | | paid for their position before July
1, 1989.
| 9 | | (c) Elected supervisors of assessments beginning a term of | 10 | | office
on or after December 1, 1990 shall, beginning December | 11 | | 1, 1993, receive their
base salary plus at least 12% of base | 12 | | salary.
| 13 | | Any supervisor of assessments who has been presented a | 14 | | Certified Assessing
Evaluator Certificate by the International | 15 | | Association of Assessing Officers
shall receive an additional | 16 | | compensation of $500 per year to be paid out of
funds | 17 | | appropriated to the Department from the Personal Property Tax | 18 | | Replacement Fund. In counties with a population greater than | 19 | | 500,000, no additional compensation shall be paid to | 20 | | supervisors of assessments whose terms of office begin on or | 21 | | after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd | 22 | | General Assembly.
| 23 | | The salary set by the county board shall be paid in equal | 24 | | monthly
installments out of the treasury of the county in | 25 | | which he or she is appointed
or elected. If the Department has | 26 | | determined that the total assessed value of
property in a |
| | | HB0555 | - 3 - | LRB102 10065 AWJ 15385 b |
|
| 1 | | county, as equalized by the supervisor of assessments under
| 2 | | Section 9-210, is between 31 1/3% and 35 1/3% of the total fair | 3 | | cash value of
property in the county, subject to | 4 | | appropriation, the Department shall reimburse the county
| 5 | | monthly from the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund 50% of | 6 | | the amount of salary the county paid to
the officer for the | 7 | | preceding month.
| 8 | | The county board shall provide necessary office space for | 9 | | the officer and pay
all necessary expenses of the office out of | 10 | | the county treasury.
| 11 | | Each supervisor of assessments may, with the advice and | 12 | | consent of the county
board, appoint necessary deputies and | 13 | | clerks, their compensation to be fixed by
the county board and | 14 | | paid by the county.

| 17 | | Sec. 4-20. Additional compensation based on performance. | 18 | | Any assessor in
counties with less than 3,000,000 but more | 19 | | than 50,000 inhabitants each
year may petition the Department | 20 | | to receive additional compensation based on
performance. To | 21 | | receive additional compensation, the official's assessment
| 22 | | jurisdiction must meet the following criteria:
| 23 | | (1) the median level of assessment must be no more | 24 | | than
35 1/3% and no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash value of | 25 | | property
in his or her assessment jurisdiction; and
|
| | | HB0555 | - 4 - | LRB102 10065 AWJ 15385 b |
|
| 1 | | (2) the coefficient of dispersion must not be greater | 2 | | than 15%.
| 3 | | For purposes of this Section, "coefficient of dispersion" | 4 | | means the average
deviation of all assessments from the median | 5 | | level.
For purposes of this Section, the number of inhabitants | 6 | | shall be determined
by the latest federal decennial census. | 7 | | When the most
recent census shows an increase in inhabitants | 8 | | to over 50,000 or a decrease
to 50,000 or fewer, then the
| 9 | | assessment year used to compute the coefficient of dispersion | 10 | | and the most
recent year of the 3-year average level of | 11 | | assessments is the year that
determines qualification for | 12 | | additional
compensation.
The Department will
promulgate rules | 13 | | and regulations to determine whether an assessor meets these
| 14 | | criteria.
| 15 | | Any assessor in a county of 50,000 or fewer inhabitants | 16 | | may
petition the
Department for consideration to receive | 17 | | additional compensation each year
based on performance. In | 18 | | order to receive the additional compensation, the
assessments | 19 | | in the official's assessment jurisdiction must meet the | 20 | | following
criteria: (i) the median level of assessments must | 21 | | be no more than 35 1/3% and
no less than 31 1/3% of fair cash | 22 | | value of property in his or her assessment
jurisdiction; and | 23 | | (ii) the coefficient of dispersion must not be greater than
| 24 | | 40% in 1994, 38% in 1995, 36% in 1996, 34% in 1997, 32% in | 25 | | 1998, and 30% in
1999 and every year thereafter.
| 26 | | Real estate transfer declarations used by the Department |
| | | HB0555 | - 5 - | LRB102 10065 AWJ 15385 b |
|
| 1 | | in annual
sales-assessment ratio studies will be used to | 2 | | evaluate applications for
additional compensation. The | 3 | | Department will audit other property to determine
if the | 4 | | sales-assessment ratio study data is representative of the | 5 | | assessment
jurisdiction. If the ratio study is found not | 6 | | representative, appraisals and
other information may be | 7 | | utilized. If the ratio study is representative, upon
| 8 | | certification by the Department, the assessor shall receive | 9 | | additional
compensation of $3,000 for that year, to be paid | 10 | | out of funds appropriated to
the Department from the Personal | 11 | | Property Tax Replacement Fund.
| 12 | | In counties with a population greater than 500,000, no | 13 | | additional compensation shall be paid to assessors whose terms | 14 | | of office begin on or after the effective date of this | 15 | | amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. | 16 | | As used in this Section, "assessor" means any township or | 17 | | multi-township
assessor, or supervisor of assessments.

| 19 | | Section 10. The Counties Code is amended by changing | 20 | | Sections 3-10007, 4-6001, 4-6002, 4-6003, and 4-8002 as | 21 | | follows:
| 22 | | (55 ILCS 5/3-10007) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-10007)

2000, and (iii) | 6 | | $6,500 if his or her term begins December 1, 2000 or
| 7 | | thereafter, to be
annually appropriated from the Personal | 8 | | Property Tax Replacement Fund by the General Assembly
to the | 9 | | Department of Revenue which shall distribute the awards in | 10 | | annual
lump sum payments to every elected county treasurer. | 11 | | This annual stipend
shall not affect any other compensation | 12 | | provided by law to be paid to
elected county treasurers. No | 13 | | county board may reduce or otherwise impair
the compensation | 14 | | payable from county funds to an elected county treasurer
if | 15 | | such reduction or impairment is the result of his receiving an | 16 | | annual
stipend under this Section. In counties with a | 17 | | population greater than 500,000, no stipend shall be paid to | 18 | | county treasurers whose terms of office begin on or after the | 19 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General | 20 | | Assembly.
