This | 19 | | program of State grants shall be administered by the State | 20 | | Librarian in accordance with rules and regulations as provided | 21 | | in Section 3 of this Act and shall include the following: | 22 | | (i) annual equalization grants; | 23 | | (ii) Library System grants; | 24 | | (iii) per capita grants to public libraries; and | 25 | | (iv) planning and construction grants to public |

Libraries, in order to be eligible for grants under | 3 | | this Section, must be members of a library system ; and | 4 | | (v) grants to improve or enhance security of | 5 | | libraries . | 6 | | (b) An annual equalization grant shall be made to all | 7 | | public libraries for which the corporate authorities levy a | 8 | | tax for library purposes at a rate not less than .13% of the | 9 | | value of all the taxable property as equalized and assessed by | 10 | | the Department of Revenue if the amount of tax revenue | 11 | | obtained from a rate of .13% produces less than (i) $4.25 per | 12 | | capita in property tax revenue from property taxes for the | 13 | | 2006 taxable year payable in 2007 and (ii) $7.50 per capita in | 14 | | property tax revenue from property taxes for the 2007 taxable | 15 | | year and thereafter.

If a library receiving an | 2 | | equalization grant reduces its tax levy below the amount | 3 | | levied at the time the original application is approved, it | 4 | | shall be ineligible to receive further equalization grants. | 5 | | If a library is subject to the Property Tax Extension | 6 | | Limitation Law in the Property Tax Code and its tax levy for | 7 | | library purposes has been lowered to a rate of less than .13%, | 8 | | the library will qualify for this grant if the library levied a | 9 | | tax for library purposes that met the requirements for this | 10 | | grant in the previous year and if the tax levied for library | 11 | | purposes in the current year produces tax revenue for the | 12 | | library that is an increase over the previous year's extension | 13 | | of 5% or the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index, | 14 | | whichever is less, and the tax revenue produced by this levy is | 15 | | less than (i) $4.25 per capita in property tax revenue from | 16 | | property taxes for the 2006 taxable year payable in 2007 and | 17 | | (ii) $7.50 per capita in property tax revenue from property | 18 | | taxes for the 2007 taxable year and thereafter. In this case, | 19 | | the State Librarian is authorized to make an equalization | 20 | | grant equivalent to the difference between the amount of tax | 21 | | revenue obtained from the current levy and an annual income of | 22 | | $4.25 per capita for grants made through Fiscal Year 2008, and | 23 | | an annual income of $7.50 per capita for grants made in Fiscal | 24 | | Year 2009 and thereafter. If moneys appropriated for grants | 25 | | under this Section are not sufficient, then the State | 26 | | Librarian shall reduce the per capita amount of the grants so |
| | | 10300HB4567ham001 | - 6 - | LRB103 37112 RLC 73099 a |
|
| 1 | | that the qualifying public libraries receive the same amount | 2 | | per capita, but in no event shall the grant be less than | 3 | | equivalent to the difference between the amount of the tax | 4 | | revenue obtained from the current levy and an annual income of | 5 | | $4.25 per capita. If a library receiving an equalization grant | 6 | | reduces its tax levy below the amount levied at the time the | 7 | | original application is approved, it shall be ineligible to | 8 | | receive further equalization grants. | 9 | | (c) Annual Library System grants shall be made, upon | 10 | | application, to each library system approved by the State | 11 | | Librarian on the following basis: | 12 | | (1) For library systems, the sum of $1.46 per capita | 13 | | of the population of the area served plus the sum of $50.75 | 14 | | per square mile or fraction thereof of the area served | 15 | | except as provided in paragraph (4) of this subsection. | 16 | | (2) If the amounts appropriated for grants are | 17 | | different from the amount provided for in paragraph (1) of | 18 | | this subsection, the area and per capita funding shall be | 19 | | proportionately reduced or increased accordingly. | 20 | | (3) For library systems, additional funds may be | 21 | | appropriated. The appropriation shall be distributed on | 22 | | the same proportional per capita and per square mile basis | 23 | | as provided in paragraphs (1) and (4) of this subsection. | 24 | | (4) Per capita and area funding for a multitype | 25 | | library system as defined in subparagraph (3) of the | 26 | | definition of "library system" in Section 2 and a public |

In determining | 15 | | the population of the area served by the library system, the | 16 | | Illinois State Library shall use the latest federal census for | 17 | | the political subdivisions in the area served. | 18 | | (e) In order to be eligible for a grant under this Section, | 19 | | the corporate authorities, instead of a tax levy at a | 20 | | particular rate, may provide an amount equivalent to the | 21 | | amount produced by that levy. | 22 | | (Source: P.A. 99-186, eff. 7-29-15.) | 23 | | Section 10.
