 1        AN ACT in relation to education.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section  5.  The  School  Code  is  amended  by  changing
 5    Section 11A-9 as follows:

 6        (105 ILCS 5/11A-9) (from Ch. 122, par. 11A-9)
 7        Sec.  11A-9.  Tax  levy.   The  board  of  education of a
 8    community unit  district  may  levy  taxes  for  educational,
 9    operations  and maintenance and the purchase and improvements
10    of school grounds, pupil transportation, and fire  prevention
11    and safety purposes, respectively, at not exceeding the rates
12    specified  in  the  petition,  which  rates may thereafter be
13    increased or decreased in the  same  manner  and  within  the
14    limits  provided by Sections 17-2 through 17-7.  The board of
15    education may  further  levy  taxes  for  other  purposes  as
16    generally permitted by law.
17        If  the  election  of  the  board of education of the new
18    district occurs at the general election  or  the  nonpartisan
19    election (or the consolidated election beginning in 2003) and
20    the  board  of  education makes its initial levy in that same
21    year, the county clerk shall extend such levy notwithstanding
22    any other law which requires the adoption of a budget  before
23    the  clerk  may extend such levy.  In addition, the districts
24    from which the new district is formed, by joint agreement and
25    with the approval of the regional  superintendent,  shall  be
26    permitted  to  amend  outstanding levies in the same calendar
27    year in which the creation of the new district is approved at
28    the rates specified in the petition.
29        If the election of the board  of  education  of  the  new
30    district  does  not  occur in the same calendar year that the
31    proposition to create  the  new  district  is  approved,  the
 
HB2105 Enrolled             -2-      LRB093 04789 NHT 04845 b
 1    districts  from  which  the  new district is formed, by joint
 2    agreement   and   with   the   approval   of   the   regional
 3    superintendent, shall  be  permitted  to  levy  in  the  same
 4    calendar  year  in  which the creation of the new district is
 5    approved at the rates specified in the petition.  The  county
 6    clerks  shall  extend  any  such levy notwithstanding any law
 7    that requires adoption of a budget before  extension  of  the
 8    levy.
