Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 153

Amends the Local Government Debt Reform Act. Defines "revenue source" to include any public building commission (PBC) lease rental base alternate tax levy. Defines "limited bonds" to include PBC leases and excludes other leases. Defines "public building commission rental base" as an amount equal to that portion of the extension for a taxing district for the 1999 levy year constituting an extension for payment of lease rentals under a PBC lease allocable to the retirement of bonds issued by the commission. Defines "public building commission lease rental base alternate tax levy" as a special purpose levy available to a unit of local government and authorized for the payment of limited bonds as a revenue source, which shall equal the PBC lease rental base less the amount of that base allocable to the payment of lease rentals under a PBC lease. Provides that a governmental unit is authorized to issue limited bonds payable from the debt service extension base or the PBC lease rental base, or both (now, payable from the debt service extension base only). Amends the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law in the Property Code. With respect to limited bonds and double-barrelled bonds issued under the Local Government Debt Reform Act, exempts from the tax caps in the taxing districts to which the law applied before the 1995 levy year special purpose extensions made for payment of principal and interest on bonds issued concerning PBC leases. Amends the Public Building Commission Act. In provisions concerning tax levies for PBC lease rental payments, provides that the tax levied may relate to the amount necessary to pay the annual rent under the lease or the PBC lease rental base (now, related only to the amount necessary to pay the annual rent under the lease). Provides that taxes are not required to be levied or extended in excess of the allocated portion of a PBC lease rental base. Amends the Counties Code. Includes within the exception for taxes levied to pay annual rent payments due under a lease entered into by the county with a Public Building Commission, payments made from the PBC lease rental base. Excludes taxes levied allocable to the PBC lease rental base tax levy and taxes levied to pay principal of and interest on limited bonds. Effective immediately.

Deletes everything. Amends the Public Building Commission Act. Provides that the definition of "municipal corporation" includes a community college district, a school district, and a board of education of a school district (now includes only those in counties of 3,000,000 or more), but does not include a school district or board of education of a school district that conducted an unsuccessful referendum within the 5 years immediately preceding action by the public building commission. Provides that contracts for the construction, alteration, improvement, repair, enlargement, or demolition of buildings that are more than $25,000 (now $5,000) must be let through competitive bidding. Amends the Public Community College Act. Provides that contracts for repair, maintenance, remodeling, renovation, or construction, or a single project involving an expenditure not to exceed $25,000 (instead of $15,000) need not be let by competitive bidding.
