represented in the General Assembly:


 
4
    Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended  by adding 
5
Section 9-211 as follows:
 
6
    (35 ILCS 200/9-211  new)
7
    Sec. 9-211. Equalization for taxing districts in more that 
8
one county.
9
    (a) If a taxing district is located in more than one 
10
county,  then the chief county assessment officer of a county in 
11
which the taxing district is located may equalize the 
12
assessments by increasing or reducing the entire assessment of 
13
property in the portion of the taxing district located in the  
14
county served by the chief county assessment officer, or any 
15
area therein, so that the assessments will be at 33 1/3% of 
16
fair cash value.
17
    For each such taxing district, the supervisor of 
18
assessments shall annually determine the percentage 
19
relationship between the estimated 33 1/3% of the fair cash 
20
value of the property and the assessed valuations at which the 
21
property is listed for the entire taxing district, both within 
22
and outside the county served by the supervisor of assessments. 
23
To make this analysis, he or she shall use property transfers,

property appraisals, and other means as he or she deems proper 
2
and reasonable.
3
    With the ratio determined for the entire taxing district, 
4
the supervisor of assessments shall then determine the 
5
percentage to be added to or deducted from the aggregate 
6
assessments in the portion of that taxing district within the 
7
county served by the supervisor of assessments, other than 
8
property assessed under Sections 10-110 through 10-140 and 
9
10-170 through 10-200, in order to produce a ratio of assessed 
10
value to fair cash value of 33 1/3%. That percentage shall be 
11
issued as an equalization factor for the portion of that taxing 
12
district within the county served by the chief county 
13
assessment officer. The assessment officer shall then change 
14
the assessment of each parcel of property by application of the 
15
equalization factor.
16
    (b) Any equalization under this Section must occur after 
17
the chief county assessment officer equalizes assessments for 
18
the county under Section 9-210.
19
    (c) This Section does not apply to any taxing district 
20
located within Cook County.
