10 a special fund in the State Treasury into which shall be paid
11 all revenue realized:
12 (a) all amounts realized from the additional personal
13 property tax replacement income tax imposed by subsections
14 (c) and (d) of Section 201 of the Illinois Income Tax Act,
15 except for those amounts deposited into the Income Tax Refund
16 Fund pursuant to subsection (c) of Section 901 of the

25 Department of Revenue shall certify to the Treasurer and the
26 Comptroller the amount of all refunds paid out of the General
27 Revenue Fund through the preceding month on account of
28 overpayment of liability on taxes paid into the Personal
29 Property Tax Replacement Fund. Upon receipt of such
30 certification, the Treasurer and the Comptroller shall
31 transfer the amount so certified from the Personal Property

6 administering the collection and distribution of monies paid
7 into the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund and transfers

15 distribution of the taxes imposed by this amendatory Act of
16 1979 receive less than 60% of the funds such taxing district

18 that the total of the allocations made as above provided for
19 all taxing districts, during either of such 3 years, exceeds
20 the amount available for distribution the allocation of each
21 taxing district shall be proportionately reduced. Except as
22 provided in Section 13 of this Act, the Department shall then
23 certify, pursuant to appropriation, such allocations to the
24 State Comptroller who shall pay over to the several taxing
25 districts the respective amounts allocated to them.

13 library. However, any library that has converted prior to
14 January 1, 1988, and which hitherto has not received the
15 personal property tax replacement funds, shall receive such
16 funds commencing on January 1, 1988.
17 Any township which receives an allocation based in whole

19 pursuant to Section 1c of the Public Graveyards Act and which
20 taxes were previously required to be paid over to or used for
21 such public cemetery or cemeteries shall immediately pay over
22 to or use for such public cemetery or cemeteries a

1 (1) The portion of the Personal Property Tax Replacement
2 Fund required to be distributed as of the time allocation is

4 Fund as of the time allocation is required to be made.
5 The amount available for distribution shall be the total
6 amount in the fund at such time minus the necessary
7 administrative expenses as limited by the appropriation and
8 the amount determined by: (a) $2.8 million for fiscal year
9 1981; (b) for fiscal year 1982, .54% of the funds distributed

20 If at any time, for any reason, there is insufficient amount
21 in the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund for payment of
22 costs of administration or for transfers due to refunds at

-6- SRS90S0008NCch
1 The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each taxing
2 district outside Cook County shall be the ratio which the Tax
3 Base of that taxing district bears to the Downstate Tax Base.
4 The Tax Base of each taxing district outside of Cook County
5 is the personal property tax collections for that taxing
6 district for the 1977 tax year; provided, however, in the
7 event a taxing district outside of Cook County had no
8 personal property tax collection for the 1977 tax year, that
9 the personal property tax collection for the 1978 tax year is
10 to be utilized to determine that particular taxing district's
11 Tax Base. The Downstate Tax Base is the personal property
12 tax collections for all taxing districts in the State outside
13 of Cook County for the 1977 tax year. The Department of
14 Revenue shall have authority ot review for accuracy and
15 completeness the personal property tax collections for each
16 taxing district outside Cook county for the 1977 tax year.
17 The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each Cook
18 County taxing district shall be the ratio which the Tax Base
19 of that taxing district bears to the Cook County Tax Base.
20 The Tax Base of each Cook County taxing district is the
21 personal property tax collections for that taxing district
22 for the 1976 tax year. The Cook County Tax Base is the
23 personal property tax collections for all taxing districts in
24 Cook County for the 1976 tax year. The Department of Revenue
25 shall have authority to review for accuracy and completeness
26 the personal property tax collections for each taxing
27 district within Cook County for the 1976 tax year.
28 For all purposes of this Section 12, amounts paid to a
29 taxing district for such tax years as may be applicable by a
30 foreign corporation under the provisions of Section 7-202 of
31 the Public Utilities Act, as amended, shall be deemed to be
32 personal property taxes collected by such taxing district for
33 such tax years as may be applicable. The Director shall
34 determine from the Illinois Commerce Commission, for any tax
-7- SRS90S0008NCch
1 year as may be applicable, the amounts so paid by any such
2 foreign corporation to any and all taxing districts. The
3 Illinois Commerce Commission shall furnish such information
4 to the Director. For all purposes of this Section 12, the
5 Director shall deem such amounts to be collected personal
6 property taxes of each such taxing district for the
7 applicable tax year or years.
8 Taxing districts located both in Cook County and in one
9 or more other counties shall receive both a Cook County
10 allocation and a Downstate allocation determined in the same
11 way as all other taxing districts.
12 If any taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979
13 ceases to exist, or discontinues its operations, its Tax Base
14 shall thereafter be deemed to be zero. If the powers, duties
15 and obligations of the discontinued taxing district are
16 assumed by another taxing district, the Tax Base of the
17 discontinued taxing district shall be added to the Tax Base
18 of the taxing district assuming such powers, duties and
19 obligations.
20 If two or more taxing districts in existence on July 1,
21 1979, or a successor or successors thereto shall consolidate
22 into one taxing district, the Tax Base of such consolidated
23 taxing district shall be the sum of the Tax Bases of each of
24 the taxing districts which have consolidated.
25 If a single taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979,
26 or a successor or successors thereto shall be divided into
27 two or more separate taxing districts, the tax base of the
28 taxing district so divided shall be allocated to each of the
29 resulting taxing districts in proportion to the then current
30 equalized assessed value of each resulting taxing district.
31 If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is
32 disconnected and annexed to another taxing district of the
33 same type, the Tax Base of the taxing district from which
34 disconnection was made shall be reduced in proportion to the
-8- SRS90S0008NCch
1 then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected
2 territory as compared with the then current equalized
3 assessed value within the entire territory of the taxing
4 district prior to disconnection, and the amount of such
5 reduction shall be added to the Tax Base of the taxing
6 district to which annexation is made.
7 If a community college district is created after July 1,
8 1979, beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act
9 of 1995, its Tax Base shall be 3.5% of the sum of the
10 personal property tax collected for the 1977 tax year within
11 the territorial jurisdiction of the district.
12 The amounts allocated and paid to taxing districts
13 pursuant to the provisions of this amendatory Act of 1979
14 shall be deemed to be substitute revenues for the revenues
15 derived from taxes imposed on personal property pursuant to
16 the provisions of the "Revenue Act of 1939" or "An Act for
17 the assessment and taxation of private car line companies",
18 approved July 22, 1943, as amended, or Section 414 of the
19 Illinois Insurance Code, prior to the abolition of such taxes
20 and shall be used for the same purposes as the revenues
21 derived from ad valorem taxes on real estate.
22 Monies received by any taxing districts from the Personal
23 Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward
24 payment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was
25 previously levied and collected from extensions against
26 personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31,
27 1978 and next applied toward payment of the proportionate
28 share of the pension or retirement obligations of the taxing
29 district which were previously levied and collected from
30 extensions against personal property. For each such
31 outstanding bond issue, the County Clerk shall determine the
32 percentage of the debt service which was collected from
33 extensions against real estate in the taxing district for
34 1978 taxes payable in 1979, as related to the total amount of
-9- SRS90S0008NCch
1 such levies and collections from extensions against both real
2 and personal property. For 1979 and subsequent years' taxes,
3 the County Clerk shall levy and extend taxes against the real
4 estate of each taxing district which will yield the said
5 percentage or percentages of the debt service on such
6 outstanding bonds. The balance of the amount necessary to
7 fully pay such debt service shall constitute a first and
8 prior lien upon the monies received by each such taxing
9 district through the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund
10 and shall be first applied or set aside for such purpose. In
11 counties having fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the
12 amendments to this paragraph as made by this amendatory Act
13 of 1980 shall be first applicable to 1980 taxes to be
14 collected in 1981.
