9or a successor or successors thereto shall be divided into two
10or more separate taxing districts, the tax base of the taxing
11district so divided shall be allocated to each of the resulting
12taxing districts in proportion to the then current equalized
13assessed value of each resulting taxing district.
14    If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is
15disconnected and annexed to another taxing district of the same
16type, the Tax Base of the taxing district from which
17disconnection was made shall be reduced in proportion to the
18then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected
19territory as compared with the then current equalized assessed
20value within the entire territory of the taxing district prior
21to disconnection, and the amount of such reduction shall be
22added to the Tax Base of the taxing district to which
23annexation is made.

251979, beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of

8taxation of private car line companies", approved July 22,
91943, as amended, or Section 414 of the Illinois Insurance
10Code, prior to the abolition of such taxes and shall be used
11for the same purposes as the revenues derived from ad valorem
12taxes on real estate.

14Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward
15payment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was
16previously levied and collected from extensions against
17personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31, 1978
18and next applied toward payment of the proportionate share of
19the pension or retirement obligations of the taxing district
20which were previously levied and collected from extensions
21against personal property. For each such outstanding bond
22issue, the County Clerk shall determine the percentage of the
23debt service which was collected from extensions against real
24estate in the taxing district for 1978 taxes payable in 1979,
25as related to the total amount of such levies and collections
26from extensions against both real and personal property. For

11979 and subsequent years' taxes, the County Clerk shall levy
2and extend taxes against the real estate of each taxing
3district which will yield the said percentage or percentages of
4the debt service on such outstanding bonds. The balance of the
5amount necessary to fully pay such debt service shall
6constitute a first and prior lien upon the monies received by
7each such taxing district through the Personal Property Tax
8Replacement Fund and shall be first applied or set aside for
9such purpose. In counties having fewer than 3,000,000
10inhabitants, the amendments to this paragraph as made by this
11amendatory Act of 1980 shall be first applicable to 1980 taxes
12to be collected in 1981.
