1 AN ACT to amend the Illinois Library System Act by
2 changing Section 8.1.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Illinois Library System Act is amended by
6 changing Section 8.1 as follows:
7 (75 ILCS 10/8.1) (from Ch. 81, par. 118.1)
8 Sec. 8.1. The State Librarian shall make grants annually
9 under this Section to all qualified public libraries in the
10 State from funds appropriated by the General Assembly. Such
11 grants shall be in the amount of up to $1.25 per capita for
12 the population of the area served by the respective public
13 library and, in addition, the amount of up to $0.19 per
14 capita to libraries serving populations over 500,000 under
15 the Illinois Major Urban Library Program. If the moneys
16 appropriated for grants under this Section are not
17 sufficient the State Librarian shall reduce the per capita
18 amount of the grants so that the qualifying public libraries
19 receive the same amount per capita.
20 To be eligible for grants under this Section, a public
21 library must:
22 (1) Provide, as determined by the State Librarian,
23 library services which either meet or show progress
24 toward meeting the Illinois library standards, as most
25 recently adopted by the Illinois Library Association.
26 (2) Be a public library for which is levied a tax
27 for library purposes at a rate not less than .13% or a
28 county library for which is levied a tax for library
29 purposes at a rate not less than .07%.
30 Any other language in this Section to the contrary
31 notwithstanding, grants under this Section 8.1 shall be made
-2- SRS90S0012NCsa
1 only upon application of the public library concerned, which
2 applications shall be entirely voluntary and within the sole
3 discretion of the public library concerned.
4 Notwithstanding the first paragraph of this Section,
5 during fiscal year 1978, the amount of grants under this
6 Section shall be .25 per capita, during fiscal year 1979 the
7 amount of grants under this Section shall be $0.50 per
8 capita, during fiscal year 1980 the amount of grants under
9 this Section shall be $0.75 per capita, during fiscal year
10 1981 through fiscal year 1993 the amount of grants shall be
11 $1 per capita, and during fiscal year 1994 and thereafter the
12 amount of public library grants shall be $1.25 per capita,
13 and the amount of the Major Urban Library Program grants
14 shall be $0.19 per capita. If the monies appropriated for
15 these grants are not sufficient, the State Librarian shall
16 reduce the per capita amount of the grants proportionately.
17 Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, if a
18 library that is receiving a grant under this Section is
19 located in a taxing district that becomes subject to the
20 Property Tax Extension Limitation Law in the Property Tax
21 Code and if, as a result of becoming subject to the Property
22 Tax Extension Limitation Law the corporate authorities of the
23 district levy a tax at a rate that no longer meets the
24 requirements of this Section, the library shall still receive
25 the grant prescribed by this Section it received prior to
26 becoming subject to the Property Tax Extension Limitation
27 Law.
28 In order to be eligible for a grant under this Section,
29 the corporate authorities, in lieu of a tax levy at a
30 particular rate, may provide funds from other sources, an
31 amount equivalent to the amount to be produced by that levy.
