    AN ACT in relation to taxation.

    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
Section 2-30 as follows:

    (35 ILCS 200/2-30)
    Sec. 2-30.  Budget Making. At least 60 days prior to  the
beginning   of  each  fiscal  year,  the  assessor  for  each
multi-township assessment district or township shall  prepare
and  present  on forms provided or approved by the Department
an  office  budget  for  the   ensuing   fiscal   year.   The
multi-township  or  township  board of trustees shall adopt a
budget and appropriation ordinance  in  accordance  with  the
Illinois Municipal Budget Law.
    The  multi-township  board  must, at least 30 days before
the public hearing required by  Section  3  of  the  Illinois
Municipal  Budget  Law,  prepare  or  cause  to be prepared a
tentative budget and appropriation  ordinance  and  file  the
ordinance   with   the   township  clerks  of  the  townships
comprising  the  multi-township  assessment  district.    The
township   clerks   must   make   the  tentative  budget  and
appropriation ordinance available for public  inspection  for
at  least  30  days before final action on the ordinance. The
required public hearing must be held on or  before  the  last
day of the first quarter of the fiscal year before the board.
Notice  of  the  hearing  must  be  given by publication in a
newspaper published in the multi-township assessment district
at least 30 days before the time of the hearing. If there  is
no  newspaper  published  in  the  multi-township  assessment
district,  notice  of  the  public  hearing  may  be given by
posting notices in 5  of  the  most  public  places  in  each
township  comprising  the multi-township assessment district.
It is the duty of the township  clerks  to  arrange  for  the
public hearing. The board at the public hearing may adopt all
or  part of the tentative budget and appropriation ordinance,
as the board deems necessary.
    The multi-township or township board  of  trustees  shall
determine the amount required and permitted by law to finance
the  operations  of  the  office  of  the  multi-township  or
township  assessor.  The board of trustees shall certify that
amount in a levy to the county clerk in the  manner  provided
in  Section  2-20.  The  county  clerk  shall  extend the tax
levies,  as  provided  in  this  Code,  against  all  taxable
property within the jurisdiction.
