|
| 1 | | Section 10. The Motor Fuel Tax Law is amended by changing | 2 | | Section 8 as follows:
| 3 | | (35 ILCS 505/8) (from Ch. 120, par. 424)
| 4 | | Sec. 8. Except as provided in Section 8a, subdivision
| 5 | | (h)(1) of Section 12a, Section 13a.6, and items

| 12 | | (a) 2 1/2 cents per gallon of the tax collected on special | 13 | | fuel under
paragraph (b) of Section 2 and Section 13a of this | 14 | | Act shall be transferred
to the State Construction Account Fund | 15 | | in the State Treasury;
| 16 | | (b) $420,000 shall be transferred each month to the State | 17 | | Boating Act
Fund to be used by the Department of Natural | 18 | | Resources for the purposes
specified in Article X of the Boat | 19 | | Registration and Safety Act;

Protection Fund to be used as follows: not less than | 22 | | $12,000,000 each fiscal
year shall be used for the construction | 23 | | or reconstruction of rail highway grade
separation structures; | 24 | | $2,250,000 in fiscal years 2004 through 2009 and $3,000,000 in | 25 | | fiscal year 2010 and each fiscal
year
thereafter shall be |
| | | SB2610 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB100 15376 HLH 30352 b |
|
| 1 | | transferred to the Transportation
Regulatory Fund and shall be | 2 | | accounted for as part of the rail carrier
portion of such funds | 3 | | and shall be used to pay the cost of administration
of the | 4 | | Illinois Commerce Commission's railroad safety program in | 5 | | connection
with its duties under subsection (3) of Section | 6 | | 18c-7401 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code, with the remainder to be | 7 | | used by the Department of Transportation
upon order of the | 8 | | Illinois Commerce Commission, to pay that part of the
cost | 9 | | apportioned by such Commission to the State to cover the | 10 | | interest
of the public in the use of highways, roads, streets, | 11 | | or
pedestrian walkways in the
county highway system, township | 12 | | and district road system, or municipal
street system as defined | 13 | | in the Illinois Highway Code, as the same may
from time to time | 14 | | be amended, for separation of grades, for installation,
| 15 | | construction or reconstruction of crossing protection or | 16 | | reconstruction,
alteration, relocation including construction | 17 | | or improvement of any
existing highway necessary for access to | 18 | | property or improvement of any
grade crossing and grade | 19 | | crossing surface including the necessary highway approaches | 20 | | thereto of any
railroad across the highway or public road, or | 21 | | for the installation,
construction, reconstruction, or | 22 | | maintenance of a pedestrian walkway over or
under a railroad | 23 | | right-of-way, as provided for in and in
accordance with Section | 24 | | 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
The Commission may order | 25 | | up to $2,000,000 per year in Grade Crossing Protection Fund | 26 | | moneys for the improvement of grade crossing surfaces and up to |
| | | SB2610 Engrossed | - 4 - | LRB100 15376 HLH 30352 b |
|
| 1 | | $300,000 per year for the maintenance and renewal of 4-quadrant | 2 | | gate vehicle detection systems located at non-high speed rail | 3 | | grade crossings. The Commission shall not order more than | 4 | | $2,000,000 per year in Grade
Crossing Protection Fund moneys | 5 | | for pedestrian walkways.
In entering orders for projects for | 6 | | which payments from the Grade Crossing
Protection Fund will be | 7 | | made, the Commission shall account for expenditures
authorized | 8 | | by the orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For | 9 | | purposes
of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that | 10 | | the total cost of the
project is expended in the fiscal year in | 11 | | which the order is entered, while a
"cash basis" allocates the | 12 | | cost of the project among fiscal years as
expenditures are | 13 | | actually made. To meet the requirements of this subsection,
the | 14 | | Illinois Commerce Commission shall develop annual and 5-year | 15 | | project plans
of rail crossing capital improvements that will | 16 | | be paid for with moneys from
the Grade Crossing Protection | 17 | | Fund. The annual project plan shall identify
projects for the | 18 | | succeeding fiscal year and the 5-year project plan shall
| 19 | | identify projects for the 5 directly succeeding fiscal years. | 20 | | The Commission
shall submit the annual and 5-year project plans | 21 | | for this Fund to the Governor,
the President of the Senate, the | 22 | | Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the
House of | 23 | | Representatives, and the Minority Leader of the House of
| 24 | | Representatives on
the first Wednesday in April of each year;

| 11 | | As soon as may be after the first day of each month the | 12 | | Department of
Transportation shall allot to each municipality | 13 | | its share of the amount
apportioned to the several | 14 | | municipalities which shall be in proportion
to the population | 15 | | of such municipalities as determined by the last
preceding | 16 | | municipal census if conducted by the Federal Government or
| 17 | | Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality | 18 | | subsequent
to the time of the last preceding census the | 19 | | corporate authorities of
such municipality may cause a census | 20 | | to be taken of such annexed
territory and the population so | 21 | | ascertained for such territory shall be
added to the population | 22 | | of the municipality as determined by the last
preceding census | 23 | | for the purpose of determining the allotment for that
| 24 | | municipality. If the population of any municipality was not | 25 | | determined
by the last Federal census preceding any | 26 | | apportionment, the
apportionment to such municipality shall be |
| | | SB2610 Engrossed | - 8 - | LRB100 15376 HLH 30352 b |
|
| 1 | | in accordance with any
census taken by such municipality. Any | 2 | | municipal census used in
accordance with this Section shall be | 3 | | certified to the Department of
Transportation by the clerk of | 4 | | such municipality, and the accuracy
thereof shall be subject to | 5 | | approval of the Department which may make
such corrections as | 6 | | it ascertains to be necessary.
| 7 | | As soon as may be after the first day of each month the | 8 | | Department of
Transportation shall allot to each county its | 9 | | share of the amount
apportioned to the several counties of the | 10 | | State as herein provided.
Each allotment to the several | 11 | | counties having less than 1,000,000
inhabitants shall be in | 12 | | proportion to the amount of motor vehicle
license fees received | 13 | | from the residents of such counties, respectively,
during the | 14 | | preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State shall, on or
| 15 | | before April 15 of each year, transmit to the Department of
| 16 | | Transportation a full and complete report showing the amount of | 17 | | motor
vehicle license fees received from the residents of each | 18 | | county,
respectively, during the preceding calendar year. The | 19 | | Department of
Transportation shall, each month, use for | 20 | | allotment purposes the last
such report received from the | 21 | | Secretary of State.
| 22 | | As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the | 23 | | Department
of Transportation shall allot to the several | 24 | | counties their share of the
amount apportioned for the use of | 25 | | road districts. The allotment shall
be apportioned among the | 26 | | several counties in the State in the proportion
which the total |
| | | SB2610 Engrossed | - 9 - | LRB100 15376 HLH 30352 b |
|
| 1 | | mileage of township or district roads in the respective
| 2 | | counties bears to the total mileage of all township and | 3 | | district roads
in the State. Funds allotted to the respective | 4 | | counties for the use of
road districts therein shall be | 5 | | allocated to the several road districts
in the county in the | 6 | | proportion which the total mileage of such township
or district | 7 | | roads in the respective road districts bears to the total
| 8 | | mileage of all such township or district roads in the county. | 9 | | After
July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation shall be | 10 | | made for any road district
unless it levied a tax for road and | 11 | | bridge purposes in an amount which
will require the extension | 12 | | of such tax against the taxable property in
any such road | 13 | | district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the value
| 14 | | thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately | 15 | | prior to the year
in which such tax was levied and as equalized | 16 | | by the Department of Revenue
or, in DuPage County, an amount | 17 | | equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of
road under the | 18 | | jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less. Beginning | 19 | | July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an allocation shall be | 20 | | made for any road district
if it levied a tax for road and | 21 | | bridge purposes. In counties other than DuPage County, if the | 22 | | amount of the tax levy requires the extension of the tax | 23 | | against the taxable property in
the road district at a rate | 24 | | that is less than 0.08% of the value
thereof, based upon the | 25 | | assessment for the year immediately prior to the year
in which | 26 | | the tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of |
| | | SB2610 Engrossed | - 10 - | LRB100 15376 HLH 30352 b |
|
| 1 | | Revenue, then the amount of the allocation for that road | 2 | | district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal | 3 | | to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by the | 4 | | district by 0.08%. In DuPage County, if the amount of the tax | 5 | | levy requires the extension of the tax against the taxable | 6 | | property in
the road district at a rate that is less than the | 7 | | lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value
of the taxable property in the | 8 | | road district, based upon the assessment for the year | 9 | | immediately prior to the year
in which such tax was levied and | 10 | | as equalized by the Department of Revenue,
or (ii) a rate that | 11 | | will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of
road under | 12 | | the jurisdiction of the road district, then the amount of the | 13 | | allocation for the road district shall be a percentage of the | 14 | | maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by dividing | 15 | | the rate extended by the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or | 16 | | (ii) the rate that will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per | 17 | | mile of
road under the jurisdiction of the road district. | 18 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of law, beginning on | 19 | | July 1, 2018, no municipality, county, or road district that | 20 | | received distributions under this subsection (e) totaling more | 21 | | than $1,000,000 in the previous State fiscal year shall receive | 22 | | any funds under this subsection (e) unless that municipality, | 23 | | county, or road district implements a business enterprise | 24 | | program setting goals for the inclusion of
minority, veteran, | 25 | | and female-owned businesses in the procurement of contracts. | 26 | | Those programs shall (i) cover both professional services and |
| | | SB2610 Engrossed | - 11 - | LRB100 15376 HLH 30352 b |
|
| 1 | | construction procurement and (ii) be substantially similar to | 2 | | the State's business enterprise program for the region in which | 3 | | the municipality, county, or road district is located. The | 4 | | Department of Transportation shall prepare a list of all | 5 | | affected municipalities, counties, and road districts and | 6 | | shall publish the list on its website. | 7 | | Prior to 2011, if any
road district has levied a special | 8 | | tax for road purposes
pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602 and | 9 | | 6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and
such tax was levied in | 10 | | an amount which would require extension at a
rate of not less | 11 | | than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof,
as | 12 | | equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue,
or, in | 13 | | DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per | 14 | | mile of
road under the jurisdiction of the road district, | 15 | | whichever is less,
such levy shall, however, be deemed a proper | 16 | | compliance with this
Section and shall qualify such road | 17 | | district for an allotment under this
Section. Beginning in 2011 | 18 | | and thereafter, if any
road district has levied a special tax | 19 | | for road purposes
under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and 6-603 of the | 20 | | Illinois Highway Code, and
the tax was levied in an amount that | 21 | | would require extension at a
rate of not less than 0.08% of the | 22 | | value of the taxable property of that road district,
as | 23 | | equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue or, in | 24 | | DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per | 25 | | mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district, | 26 | | whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a proper |
| | | SB2610 Engrossed | - 12 - | LRB100 15376 HLH 30352 b |
|
| 1 | | compliance with this
Section and shall qualify such road | 2 | | district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment under | 3 | | this
Section. If the levy for the special tax is less than | 4 | | 0.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage | 5 | | County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser | 6 | | of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the | 7 | | jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the | 8 | | special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge | 9 | | purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road | 10 | | district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment under | 11 | | this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to or | 12 | | less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then any | 13 | | allotment under this Section shall be determined by the other | 14 | | levy for road and bridge purposes. | 15 | | Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road | 16 | | and bridge fund
money which, when added to the amount of any | 17 | | tax levy of the road
district would be the equivalent of a tax | 18 | | levy requiring extension at a
rate of at least .08%, or, in | 19 | | DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater
than $12,000 per | 20 | | mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
| 21 | | whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax | 22 | | levy,
shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section and | 23 | | shall qualify
the road district for an allotment under this | 24 | | Section.
| 25 | | In counties in which a property tax extension limitation is | 26 | | imposed
under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, road |
| | | SB2610 Engrossed | - 13 - | LRB100 15376 HLH 30352 b |
|
| 1 | | districts may retain
their entitlement to a motor fuel tax | 2 | | allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a full | 3 | | allotment if, at the time the property
tax
extension limitation | 4 | | was imposed, the road district was levying a road and
bridge | 5 | | tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor fuel tax | 6 | | allotment
and continues to levy the maximum allowable amount | 7 | | after the imposition of the
property tax extension limitation. | 8 | | Any road district may in all circumstances
retain its | 9 | | entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in | 10 | | 2011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road | 11 | | and
bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of | 12 | | the tax against the
taxable property in the road district at a | 13 | | rate of not less than 0.08% of the
assessed value of the | 14 | | property, based upon the assessment for the year
immediately | 15 | | preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized | 16 | | by
the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount | 17 | | equal to or greater
than $12,000 per mile of road under the | 18 | | jurisdiction of the road district,
whichever is less.
| 19 | | As used in this Section the term "road district" means any | 20 | | road
district, including a county unit road district, provided | 21 | | for by the
Illinois Highway Code; and the term "township or | 22 | | district road"
means any road in the township and district road | 23 | | system as defined in the
Illinois Highway Code. For the | 24 | | purposes of this Section, "township or
district road" also | 25 | | includes such roads as are maintained by park
districts, forest | 26 | | preserve districts and conservation districts. The
Department |
| | | SB2610 Engrossed | - 14 - | LRB100 15376 HLH 30352 b |
|
| 1 | | of Transportation shall determine the mileage of all township
| 2 | | and district roads for the purposes of making allotments and | 3 | | allocations of
motor fuel tax funds for use in road districts.
| 4 | | Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and | 5 | | counties shall
be made as soon as possible after the allotment | 6 | | is made. The treasurer
of the municipality or county may invest | 7 | | these funds until their use is
required and the interest earned | 8 | | by these investments shall be limited
to the same uses as the | 9 | | principal funds.
