7 (20 ILCS 655/5.3) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 608)
8 Sec. 5.3. Certification of Enterprise Zones; Effective
9 date.
10 (a) Approval of designated Enterprise Zones shall be
11 made by the Department by certification of the designating
12 ordinance. The Department shall promptly issue a certificate
13 for each Enterprise Zone upon its approval. The certificate
14 shall be signed by the Director of the Department, shall make
15 specific reference to the designating ordinance, which shall
16 be attached thereto, and shall be filed in the office of the
17 Secretary of State. A certified copy of the Enterprise Zone
18 Certificate, or a duplicate original thereof, shall be
19 recorded in the office of recorder of deeds of the county in
20 which the Enterprise Zone lies.
21 (b) An Enterprise Zone shall be effective upon its
22 certification. The Department shall transmit a copy of the
23 certification to the Department of Revenue, and to the
24 designating municipality or county.
25 Upon certification of an Enterprise Zone, the terms and
26 provisions of the designating ordinance shall be in effect,
27 and may not be amended or repealed except in accordance with
28 Section 5.4.
29 (c) An Enterprise Zone shall be in effect for 20
30 calendar years, or for a lesser number of years specified in
31 the certified designating ordinance. Enterprise Zones shall

1 terminate at midnight of December 31 of the final calendar
2 year of the certified term, except as provided in Section
3 5.4. In Vermilion County, however, an enterprise zone shall
4 be in effect for 30 calendar years or for a lesser number of
5 years specified in the certified designating ordinance.
6 (d) No more than 12 Enterprise Zones may be certified by
7 the Department in calendar year 1984, no more than 12
8 Enterprise Zones may be certified by the Department in

11 than 15 Enterprise Zones may be certified by the Department
12 in calendar year 1987, and no more than 20 Enterprise Zones
13 may be certified by the Department in calendar year 1990. In
14 other calendar years, no more than 13 Enterprise Zones may be
15 certified by the Department. The Department may also
16 designate up to 8 additional Enterprise Zones outside the
17 regular application cycle if warranted by the extreme
18 economic circumstances as determined by the Department. The
19 Department may also designate one additional Enterprise Zone
20 outside the regular application cycle if an aircraft
21 manufacturer agrees to locate an aircraft manufacturing
22 facility in the proposed Enterprise Zone. Notwithstanding
23 any other provision of this Act, no more than 89 Enterprise
24 Zones may be certified by the Department for the 10 calendar
25 years commencing with 1983. The 7 additional Enterprise Zones
26 authorized by Public Act 86-15 shall not lie within
27 municipalities or unincorporated areas of counties that abut
28 or are contiguous to Enterprise Zones certified pursuant to
29 this Section prior to June 30, 1989. The 7 additional
30 Enterprise Zones (excluding the additional Enterprise Zone
31 which may be designated outside the regular application
32 cycle) authorized by Public Act 86-1030 shall not lie within
33 municipalities or unincorporated areas of counties that abut
34 or are contiguous to Enterprise Zones certified pursuant to
HB2299 Enrolled -3- LRB9006663MWdv
1 this Section prior to February 28, 1990. In any calendar
2 year, the Department may not certify more than 3 Zones
3 located within the same municipality. The Department may
4 certify Enterprise Zones in each of the 10 calendar years
5 commencing with 1983. The Department may not certify more
6 than a total of 18 Enterprise Zones located within the same
7 county (whether within municipalities or within
8 unincorporated territory) for the 10 calendar years
9 commencing with 1983. Thereafter, the Department may not
10 certify any additional Enterprise Zones, but may amend and
11 rescind certifications of existing Enterprise Zones in
12 accordance with Section 5.4.
13 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if (i)
14 the county board of any county in which a current military
15 base is located, in part or in whole, or in which a military
16 base that has been closed within 20 years of the effective
17 date of this amendatory Act of 1998 is located, in part or in
18 whole, adopts a designating ordinance in accordance with
19 Section 5 of this Act to designate the military base in that
20 county as an enterprise zone and (ii) the property otherwise
21 meets the qualifications for an enterprise zone as prescribed
