HB2972 EnrolledLRB103 28356 AWJ 54736 b

    AN ACT concerning local government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Rescue Squad Districts Act is amended by
changing Section 11 as follows:
 
    (70 ILCS 2005/11)  (from Ch. 85, par. 6861)
    Sec. 11. Property tax; fees.
    (a) A rescue squad district organized under this Act may
levy and collect a general tax on the property situated in the
district, but the aggregate amount of taxes levied for any one
year shall not exceed the rate of .20% of value, as equalized
or assessed by the Department of Revenue. The board of
trustees shall determine and certify the amount to be levied
and shall return the same to the county clerk. The limitation
upon the tax rate may be increased or decreased under the
referendum provisions of the General Revenue Law of Illinois.
    In case the district is located in more than one county,
the board of trustees shall determine and certify the amount
to be levied upon the taxable property lying in each county and
return the same to the respective county clerks of the
counties in which the amount is to be levied. In order to
determine the amount to be levied upon the taxable property of
that part of the district lying in each county, the board shall
ascertain from the county clerk of the respective counties in
which the district lies the last ascertained equalized value
of the taxable property of the district lying in their
respective counties, then shall ascertain the rate per cent
required and shall, accordingly, apportion the whole amount to
be raised between the several parts of the district so lying in
the different counties. The tax provided for in this Section
shall be levied at the same time and in the same manner as
nearly as practicable as taxes are now levied for municipal
purposes under the laws of this State.
    All general taxes under this Act, when collected, shall be
paid over to the treasurer of the board of trustees, who is
authorized to receive and receipt for the same.
    (b) A rescue squad district organized under this Act may
fix, charge, and collect fees for rescue squad services and
ambulance services within or outside of the rescue squad
district not exceeding the reasonable cost of the service.
