12taxing district for such tax years as may be applicable by a
13foreign corporation under the provisions of Section 7-202 of
14the Public Utilities Act, as amended, shall be deemed to be
15personal property taxes collected by such taxing district for
16such tax years as may be applicable. The Director shall
17determine from the Illinois Commerce Commission, for any tax
18year as may be applicable, the amounts so paid by any such
19foreign corporation to any and all taxing districts. The
20Illinois Commerce Commission shall furnish such information to

26more other counties shall receive both a Cook County allocation

 

 

09700HB3828ham001- 10 -LRB097 13849 RPM 58809 a

1and a Downstate allocation determined in the same way as all
2other taxing districts.
3    If any taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979 ceases
4to exist, or discontinues its operations, its Tax Base shall
5thereafter be deemed to be zero. If the powers, duties and
6obligations of the discontinued taxing district are assumed by
7another taxing district, the Tax Base of the discontinued
8taxing district shall be added to the Tax Base of the taxing
9district assuming such powers, duties and obligations.
10    If two or more taxing districts in existence on July 1,
111979, or a successor or successors thereto shall consolidate
12into one taxing district, the Tax Base of such consolidated
13taxing district shall be the sum of the Tax Bases of each of
14the taxing districts which have consolidated.
15    If a single taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979,
16or a successor or successors thereto shall be divided into two
17or more separate taxing districts, the tax base of the taxing
18district so divided shall be allocated to each of the resulting
19taxing districts in proportion to the then current equalized
20assessed value of each resulting taxing district.
21    If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is
22disconnected and annexed to another taxing district of the same
23type, the Tax Base of the taxing district from which
24disconnection was made shall be reduced in proportion to the
25then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected
26territory as compared with the then current equalized assessed

 

 

09700HB3828ham001- 11 -LRB097 13849 RPM 58809 a

1value within the entire territory of the taxing district prior
2to disconnection, and the amount of such reduction shall be
3added to the Tax Base of the taxing district to which
4annexation is made.
5    If a community college district is created after July 1,
61979, beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of
71995, its Tax Base shall be 3.5% of the sum of the personal
8property tax collected for the 1977 tax year within the
9territorial jurisdiction of the district.
10    The amounts allocated and paid to taxing districts pursuant
11to the provisions of this amendatory Act of 1979 shall be
12deemed to be substitute revenues for the revenues derived from
13taxes imposed on personal property pursuant to the provisions
14of the "Revenue Act of 1939" or "An Act for the assessment and
15taxation of private car line companies", approved July 22,
161943, as amended, or Section 414 of the Illinois Insurance
17Code, prior to the abolition of such taxes and shall be used
18for the same purposes as the revenues derived from ad valorem
19taxes on real estate.
20    Monies received by any taxing districts from the Personal
21Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward
22payment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was
23previously levied and collected from extensions against
24personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31, 1978
25and next applied toward payment of the proportionate share of
26the pension or retirement obligations of the taxing district

 

 

09700HB3828ham001- 12 -LRB097 13849 RPM 58809 a

1which were previously levied and collected from extensions
2against personal property. For each such outstanding bond
3issue, the County Clerk shall determine the percentage of the
4debt service which was collected from extensions against real
5estate in the taxing district for 1978 taxes payable in 1979,
6as related to the total amount of such levies and collections
7from extensions against both real and personal property. For
81979 and subsequent years' taxes, the County Clerk shall levy
9and extend taxes against the real estate of each taxing
10district which will yield the said percentage or percentages of
11the debt service on such outstanding bonds. The balance of the
12amount necessary to fully pay such debt service shall
13constitute a first and prior lien upon the monies received by
14each such taxing district through the Personal Property Tax
15Replacement Fund and shall be first applied or set aside for
16such purpose. In counties having fewer than 3,000,000
17inhabitants, the amendments to this paragraph as made by this
18amendatory Act of 1980 shall be first applicable to 1980 taxes
19to be collected in 1981.
