(70 ILCS 805/13.2) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 6325)
Sec. 13.2.
Any appropriation or levy made for the purpose of
constructing, restoring, reconditioning, reconstructing or acquiring
improvements in the development of forests and lands of the district need
not be expended during the fiscal year in which such appropriation or levy
is made. No such appropriation lapses nor may the moneys levied, collected
or received for that purpose become part of the general funds of the
district for a period of 5 years thereafter and such money may not be
considered an asset available for appropriation in a subsequent fiscal year
but it shall be retained and held as a separate fund for 5 years to be
expended within that time for the purpose for which appropriated and
levied, thereafter to become a general asset available for appropriation
for corporate purposes. It is not a defense or objection to any
appropriation or levy in a subsequent fiscal year for the same purposes
that there remain uncommenced or uncompleted projects or unexpended moneys
arising in an appropriation or levy of a prior year, for purposes of this
Section unless the period of 5 years subsequent to the fiscal year in which
the appropriation has been made has elapsed. The limitations upon tax rates
imposed by Section 13.1 are not subject to Sections 162a and 162b of the
General Revenue Law of Illinois.
All moneys collected under this Act shall be paid to the treasurer of
such district.
