14For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate

17shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.

19tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
20limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
21after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable

23or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
24case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
25the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
26proposition approved by the voters for each of the years

1specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
2the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
3In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum
4approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the
5limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that
6generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for
7that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the
8voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county
9clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for
10tax year 2012.

9taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in the

11assessed value of each property in the redevelopment project
12area. For the taxes which are extended for the 1997 levy year,

23Allocation Act, by an amount equal to the 1994 equalized
24assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
25real property in the redevelopment project area over and above
26the initial equalized assessed value of each property in the

 

 

SB0013- 38 -LRB100 06355 HLH 16394 b

3real property from a redevelopment project area established
4under the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the
5Illinois Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in
6the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area
7Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
8means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value
9of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property

11initial equalized assessed value of that real property before
12removal from the redevelopment project area.
13    Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
14rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
15preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one
16plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
17denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
18value of all real property in the territory under the
19jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
20For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
21extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest
22aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years
23shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.
24The denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
25tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
26limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held

 

 

SB0013- 39 -LRB100 06355 HLH 16394 b

1after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
2limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
3or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
4case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
5the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
6proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
7specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
8the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
9In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum
10approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the
11limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that
12generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for
13that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the
14voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county
15clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for
16tax year 2012.

1reasons: (1) for ongoing participation in an interscholastic
2athletic program; (2) to enroll in academic classes which are
3required for admission to an institution of higher learning,
4provided that failure to take such classes will result in the
5pupil being denied admission to the institution of his or her
6choice; or (3) to enroll in academic classes which are required
7for graduation from high school, provided that failure to take
8such classes will result in the pupil being unable to graduate.

11physical education courses if those pupils request to be
12excused for ongoing participation in such marching band
13program. A school board may also, on a case-by-case basis,

22in relation to the contract must be maintained by the school
23district and made available to parents and guardians upon

12board resolution following a public hearing on the increase,
13which increased fee must be waived for students who participate
14in the course and are unable to pay for the course. The total
15amount from driver education fees and reimbursement from the
16State for driver education must not exceed the total cost of
17the driver education program in any year and must be deposited
18into the school district's driver education fund as a separate
19line item budget entry. All moneys deposited into the school
20district's driver education fund must be used solely for the
