20    apportioned in the following manner: 51.65% for taxing
21    districts in Cook County and 48.35% for taxing districts in
22    the remainder of the State.
23    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each taxing
24district outside Cook County shall be the ratio which the Tax
25Base of that taxing district bears to the Downstate Tax Base.
26The Tax Base of each taxing district outside of Cook County is

 

 

HB0648- 9 -LRB099 04457 SXM 24485 b

1the personal property tax collections for that taxing district
2for the 1977 tax year. The Downstate Tax Base is the personal
3property tax collections for all taxing districts in the State
4outside of Cook County for the 1977 tax year. The Department of
5Revenue shall have authority to review for accuracy and
6completeness the personal property tax collections for each
7taxing district outside Cook County for the 1977 tax year.
8    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each Cook County
9taxing district shall be the ratio which the Tax Base of that
10taxing district bears to the Cook County Tax Base. The Tax Base
11of each Cook County taxing district is the personal property
12tax collections for that taxing district for the 1976 tax year.
13The Cook County Tax Base is the personal property tax
14collections for all taxing districts in Cook County for the
151976 tax year. The Department of Revenue shall have authority
16to review for accuracy and completeness the personal property
17tax collections for each taxing district within Cook County for

19    For all purposes of this Section 12, amounts paid to a
20taxing district for such tax years as may be applicable by a
21foreign corporation under the provisions of Section 7-202 of
22the Public Utilities Act, as amended, shall be deemed to be
23personal property taxes collected by such taxing district for
24such tax years as may be applicable. The Director shall
25determine from the Illinois Commerce Commission, for any tax
26year as may be applicable, the amounts so paid by any such

 

 

HB0648- 10 -LRB099 04457 SXM 24485 b

1foreign corporation to any and all taxing districts. The
2Illinois Commerce Commission shall furnish such information to
3the Director. For all purposes of this Section 12, the Director
4shall deem such amounts to be collected personal property taxes
5of each such taxing district for the applicable tax year or
6years.
7    Taxing districts located both in Cook County and in one or
8more other counties shall receive both a Cook County allocation
9and a Downstate allocation determined in the same way as all
10other taxing districts.
11    If any taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979 ceases
12to exist, or discontinues its operations, its Tax Base shall
13thereafter be deemed to be zero. If the powers, duties and
14obligations of the discontinued taxing district are assumed by
15another taxing district, the Tax Base of the discontinued
16taxing district shall be added to the Tax Base of the taxing
17district assuming such powers, duties and obligations.
18    If two or more taxing districts in existence on July 1,
191979, or a successor or successors thereto shall consolidate
20into one taxing district, the Tax Base of such consolidated
21taxing district shall be the sum of the Tax Bases of each of
22the taxing districts which have consolidated.
23    If a single taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979,
24or a successor or successors thereto shall be divided into two
25or more separate taxing districts, the tax base of the taxing
26district so divided shall be allocated to each of the resulting

 

 

HB0648- 11 -LRB099 04457 SXM 24485 b

1taxing districts in proportion to the then current equalized
2assessed value of each resulting taxing district.
3    If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is
4disconnected and annexed to another taxing district of the same
5type, the Tax Base of the taxing district from which
6disconnection was made shall be reduced in proportion to the
7then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected
8territory as compared with the then current equalized assessed
9value within the entire territory of the taxing district prior
10to disconnection, and the amount of such reduction shall be
11added to the Tax Base of the taxing district to which
12annexation is made.
13    If a community college district is created after July 1,
141979, beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of
151995, its Tax Base shall be 3.5% of the sum of the personal
16property tax collected for the 1977 tax year within the
17territorial jurisdiction of the district.
18    The amounts allocated and paid to taxing districts pursuant
19to the provisions of this amendatory Act of 1979 shall be
20deemed to be substitute revenues for the revenues derived from
21taxes imposed on personal property pursuant to the provisions
22of the "Revenue Act of 1939" or "An Act for the assessment and
23taxation of private car line companies", approved July 22,
241943, as amended, or Section 414 of the Illinois Insurance
25Code, prior to the abolition of such taxes and shall be used
26for the same purposes as the revenues derived from ad valorem

 

 

HB0648- 12 -LRB099 04457 SXM 24485 b

1taxes on real estate.
2    Monies received by any taxing districts from the Personal
3Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward
4payment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was
5previously levied and collected from extensions against
6personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31, 1978
7and next applied toward payment of the proportionate share of
8the pension or retirement obligations of the taxing district
9which were previously levied and collected from extensions
10against personal property. For each such outstanding bond
11issue, the County Clerk shall determine the percentage of the
12debt service which was collected from extensions against real
13estate in the taxing district for 1978 taxes payable in 1979,
14as related to the total amount of such levies and collections
15from extensions against both real and personal property. For
161979 and subsequent years' taxes, the County Clerk shall levy
17and extend taxes against the real estate of each taxing
18district which will yield the said percentage or percentages of
19the debt service on such outstanding bonds. The balance of the
20amount necessary to fully pay such debt service shall
21constitute a first and prior lien upon the monies received by
22each such taxing district through the Personal Property Tax
23Replacement Fund and shall be first applied or set aside for
24such purpose. In counties having fewer than 3,000,000
25inhabitants, the amendments to this paragraph as made by this
26amendatory Act of 1980 shall be first applicable to 1980 taxes
