| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by changing | 5 | | Sections 6-901 and 6-905 as follows:
| 6 | | (605 ILCS 5/6-901) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-901)
| 7 | | Sec. 6-901.
Annually, the General Assembly shall | 8 | | appropriate to the
Department of Transportation from the road | 9 | | fund, the general revenue
fund, any other State funds or a | 10 | | combination of those funds, $30,000,000 $15,000,000
for | 11 | | apportionment to counties for the use of road districts for the
| 12 | | construction of bridges 20 feet or more in length, as provided | 13 | | in
Sections 6-902 through 6-905.
| 14 | | The Department of Transportation shall apportion among the | 15 | | several
counties of this State for the use of road districts | 16 | | the amounts
appropriated under this Section. The amount | 17 | | apportioned to a county
shall be in the proportion which the | 18 | | total mileage of township or
district roads in the county bears | 19 | | to the total mileage of all township
and district roads in the | 20 | | State. Each county shall allocate to the
several road districts | 21 | | in the county the funds so apportioned to the
county. The | 22 | | allocation to road districts shall be made in the same
manner | 23 | | and be subject to the same conditions and qualifications as are
|
| | | HB3254 | - 2 - | LRB097 05198 HEP 45247 b |
|
| 1 | | provided by Section 8 of the "Motor Fuel Tax Law", approved | 2 | | March 25,
1929, as amended, with respect to the allocation to | 3 | | road districts of
the amount allotted from the Motor Fuel Tax | 4 | | Fund for apportionment to
counties for the use of road | 5 | | districts, but no allocation shall be made
to any road district | 6 | | that has not levied taxes for road and bridge
purposes and for | 7 | | bridge construction purposes at the maximum rates
permitted by | 8 | | Sections 6-501, 6-508 and 6-512 of this Act, without
| 9 | | referendum. "Road district" and "township or district road" | 10 | | have the
meanings ascribed to those terms in this Act.
| 11 | | Road districts in counties in which a property tax | 12 | | extension limitation is
imposed under the Property Tax | 13 | | Extension Limitation Law that are made
ineligible for receipt | 14 | | of this appropriation due to the imposition of a
property tax | 15 | | extension limitation may become eligible if, at the time the
| 16 | | property tax extension limitation was imposed, the road | 17 | | district was levying at
the required rate and continues to levy | 18 | | the maximum allowable amount
after the imposition of the | 19 | | property tax extension limitation. The road
district
also | 20 | | becomes
eligible if it levies at or above the rate required for | 21 | | eligibility by Section
8 of the
Motor Fuel Tax Law.
| 22 | | The amounts apportioned under this Section for allocation | 23 | | to road
districts may be used only for bridge construction as | 24 | | provided in this
Division. So much of those amounts as are not | 25 | | obligated under Sections
6-902 through 6-904 and for which | 26 | | local funds have not been committed
under Section 6-905 within |
| | | HB3254 | - 3 - | LRB097 05198 HEP 45247 b |
