6denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
7value of all real property in the territory under the
8jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
9For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
10extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest
11aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years
12shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.
13The denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
14tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
15limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
16after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
17limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
18or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
19case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
20the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
21proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
22specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
23the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
24Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the percentage

1the levy year is less than the percentage change in the
2Consumer Price Index during that same period of time, then, not
3less than 30 days prior to extension, the corporate authorities
4of the taxing district must approve the limiting rate by
5ordinance or resolution, and must certify that limiting rate to
6the county clerk. The limiting rate may not exceed the maximum
7rate permitted under this Law. Notice of the rate shall be
8published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation
9in the taxing district not more than 30 days nor less than 10
10days before the ordinance or resolution is adopted. The
11publication must also contain all of the following information,
12in substantially the following form:
13        (1) As a result of the approval of the limiting rate,
14    the aggregate extension for ... (insert each levy year for
15    which the increase will apply) will be determined by the
16    limiting rate set forth in the ordinance or resolution,
17    rather than the otherwise applicable limiting rate
18    calculated under the provisions of the Property Tax
19    Extension Limitation Law (commonly known as the Property
20    Tax Cap Law). This will result in a tax bill that will be
21    higher than the tax bill that would have resulted from the
22    rate that would have been calculated under the Property Tax
23    Extension Limitation Law.
24        (2) The additional tax extendable against property
25    containing a single family residence and having a fair
26    market value at the time of the referendum of $100,000 is
