13Municipal Code, or previously established under the Economic
14Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, by an amount
15equal to the 1994 equalized assessed value of each taxable
16lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in the
17redevelopment project area over and above the initial
18equalized assessed value of each property in the redevelopment
19project area. In the first year after a municipality removes a
20taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property from a
21redevelopment project area established under the Tax Increment
22Allocation Redevelopment Act in the Illinois Municipal Code,
23the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal
24Code, or the Economic Development Area Tax Increment
25Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value" means the
26amount of the current year's equalized assessed value of each

1taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property removed
2from the redevelopment project area over and above the initial
3equalized assessed value of that real property before removal
4from the redevelopment project area.
5    Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
6rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
7preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to
8one plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and
9the denominator of which is the current year's equalized
10assessed value of all real property in the territory under the
11jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy
12year. For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
13extension for the last preceding levy year, except for school
14districts that reduced their extension for educational
15purposes pursuant to Section 18-206, the highest aggregate
16extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be
17used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. The
18denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
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
22limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
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.

15    Sec. 18-190.7. Alternative aggregate extension base for
16certain taxing districts; recapture.
17    (a) This Section applies to the following taxing districts
18that are subject to this Division 5:
19        (1) school districts that have a designation of
20    recognition or review according to the State Board of
21    Education's School District Financial Profile System as of
22    the first day of the levy year for which the taxing
23    district seeks to increase its aggregate extension under
24    this Section;
25        (2) park districts;

 

 

HB0448 Engrossed- 20 -LRB102 02872 HLH 12881 b

1        (3) library districts; and
2        (4) community college districts.
3    (b) Subject to the limitations of subsection (c),
4beginning in levy year 2022, a taxing district specified in
5subsection (a) may recapture certain levy amounts that are
6otherwise unavailable to the taxing district as a result of
7the taxing district not extending the maximum amount permitted
8under this Division 5 in a previous levy year. For that
9purpose, the taxing district's aggregate extension base shall
10be the greater of: (1) the taxing district's aggregate
11extension limit; or (2) the taxing district's last preceding
12aggregate extension, as adjusted under Sections 18-135,
1318-215, 18-230, 18-206, and 18-233.
14    (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the
15aggregate extension of a taxing district that uses an
16aggregate extension limit under this Section for a particular
17levy year may not exceed the taxing district's aggregate
18extension for the immediately preceding levy year by more than
195% unless the increase is approved by the voters under Section
2018-205; however, if a taxing district is unable to recapture
21the entire unrealized levy amount in a single levy year due to
22the limitations of this subsection (c), the taxing district
23may increase its aggregate extension in each immediately
24succeeding levy year until the entire levy amount is
25recaptured, except that the increase in each succeeding levy
26year may not exceed the greater of (i) 5% or (ii) the increase

 

 

HB0448 Engrossed- 21 -LRB102 02872 HLH 12881 b

1approved by the voters under Section 18-205.
2    In order to be eligible for recapture under this Section,
3the taxing district must certify to the county clerk that the
4taxing district did not extend the maximum amount permitted
5under this Division 5 for a particular levy year. That
6certification must be made not more than 30 days after the
7taxing district's budget and levy ordinance is adopted for the
8levy year for which the taxing district did not extend the
9maximum amount permitted under this Division 5.
10    (d) As used in this Section, "aggregate extension limit"
11means the taxing district's last preceding aggregate extension
12if the district had utilized the maximum limiting rate
13permitted without referendum for each of the 3 immediately
14preceding levy years, as adjusted under Section 18-135,
1518-215, 18-230, 18-206, and 18-233.
 
16    Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
17becoming law.
