AN ACT concerning transportation.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by changing |
Section 6-901 as follows:
|
(605 ILCS 5/6-901) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-901)
|
Sec. 6-901.
Annually, the General Assembly shall |
appropriate to the
Department of Transportation from the road |
fund, the general revenue
fund, any other State funds or a |
combination of those funds, $15,000,000
for apportionment to |
counties for the use of road districts for the
construction of |
bridges 20 feet or more in length, as provided in
Sections |
6-902 through 6-905.
|
The Department of Transportation shall apportion among the |
several
counties of this State for the use of road districts |
the amounts
appropriated under this Section. The amount |
apportioned to a county
shall be in the proportion which the |
total mileage of township or
district roads in the county bears |
to the total mileage of all township
and district roads in the |
State. Each county shall allocate to the
several road districts |
in the county the funds so apportioned to the
county. The |
allocation to road districts shall be made in the same
manner |
and be subject to the same conditions and qualifications as are
|
|
provided by Section 8 of the "Motor Fuel Tax Law", approved |
March 25,
1929, as amended, with respect to the allocation to |
road districts of
the amount allotted from the Motor Fuel Tax |
Fund for apportionment to
counties for the use of road |
districts, but no allocation shall be made
to any road district |
that has not levied taxes for road and bridge
purposes and for |
bridge construction purposes at the maximum rates
permitted by |
Sections 6-501, 6-508 and 6-512 of this Act, without
|
referendum. "Road district" and "township or district road" |
have the
meanings ascribed to those terms in this Act.
|
Road districts in counties in which a property tax |
extension limitation is
imposed under the Property Tax |
Extension Limitation Law that are made
ineligible for receipt |
of this appropriation due to the imposition of a
property tax |
extension limitation may become eligible if, at the time the
|
property tax extension limitation was imposed, the road |
district was levying at
the required rate and continues to levy |
the maximum allowable amount
after the imposition of the |
property tax extension limitation. The road
district
also |
becomes
eligible if it levies at or above the rate required for |
eligibility by Section
8 of the
Motor Fuel Tax Law.
|
The amounts apportioned under this Section for allocation |
to road
districts may be used only for bridge construction as |
provided in this
Division. So much of those amounts as are not |
obligated under Sections
6-902 through 6-904 and for which |
local funds have not been committed
under Section 6-905 within |
