(35 ILCS 200/18-248)
Sec. 18-248.
Adjustments to the limiting rate.
(a) Merging and consolidating taxing districts. For purpose of this Law,
when 2 or more taxing districts merge or consolidate, the sum of the last
preceding aggregate extension for each taxing district shall be combined for
the resulting merged or consolidated taxing district. When a service performed
by one taxing
district is transferred to another taxing district, that part of the aggregate
extension base for that purpose shall be transferred and added to the aggregate
extension base of the transferee taxing district for purposes of this Law and
shall be deducted from the aggregate extension base of the transferor taxing
district.
(b) Annexed or disconnected property. If property is annexed into the
taxing district or is disconnected from a taxing district during the current
levy year, the calculation of the limiting rate under Section 18-246 is not
affected. The rates as limited under this Law are applied to all property in
the district for the 1994 levy year, excluding property that was annexed after
the adoption of the levy for the current levy year.
(c) Rate increase or decrease factor. When a new rate or a rate increase or
decrease that is first effective for the 1994 levy year has been approved by
referendum, the aggregate extension base, as adjusted in subsection (a),
shall be multiplied by a rate increase or decrease factor. The
numerator of the rate increase or decrease factor is the total combined rate
for the funds that made up the aggregate extension for the taxing district for
the 1993 levy year plus the rate increase approved or minus the rate decrease
approved. The denominator of the rate increase or decrease factor is the total
combined rate for the funds that made up the aggregate extension for the 1993
levy year. For those taxing districts for which a new rate or a rate increase
has been approved by referendum held after December 31, 1989, and that did not
increase their rate to the new maximum rate for that fund, the rate increase
factor for the 1994 levy year shall be adjusted by a factor the numerator of
which is the portion of the new or increased rate for which taxes were not
extended plus the aggregate rate in effect for the levy year prior to the levy
year in which the referendum was passed and the denominator of which is the
aggregate rate in effect for the levy year prior to the levy year in which the
referendum was passed.
(d) Tax increment financing districts. Extensions allocable to a special
tax allocation fund and the amount of taxes abated under Sections 18-165 and
18-170 are not included in the aggregate extension base when computing the
limiting rate.
