district is limited to an | 9 | | extension limitation of 5% or the percentage increase
in the | 10 | | Consumer Price Index during the 12-month calendar year | 11 | | preceding the
levy year, whichever is less. A taxing district | 12 | | may increase its extension
limitation for one or more levy | 13 | | years if that taxing district holds a referendum
before the | 14 | | levy date for the first levy year at which a majority of voters | 15 | | voting on the issue approves
adoption of a higher extension | 16 | | limitation. Referenda shall be conducted at a
regularly | 17 | | scheduled election in accordance with the Election Code. The | 18 | | question shall be presented in
substantially the following | 19 | | manner for all elections held after March 21, 2006:

|
| 1 | | school or community college district is known and referred | 2 | | to), Illinois, be increased from the lesser of 5% or the | 3 | | percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index over the | 4 | | prior levy year to (insert the percentage of the proposed | 5 | | increase)% per year for (insert each levy year for which | 6 | | the increased extension limitation will apply)? | 7 | | The votes must be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
| 8 | | If a majority of voters voting on the issue approves the | 9 | | adoption of
the increase, the increase shall be applicable for | 10 | | each
levy year specified.
| 11 | | The ballot for any question submitted pursuant to this | 12 | | Section shall have printed thereon, but not as a part of the | 13 | | question submitted, only the following supplemental | 14 | | information (which shall be supplied to the election authority | 15 | | by the taxing district) in substantially the following form: | 16 | | (1) For the (insert the first levy year for which the | 17 | | increased extension
limitation will be applicable) levy | 18 | | year the approximate amount of the additional tax
| 19 | | extendable against property containing a single family | 20 | | residence and having a fair market
value at the time of the | 21 | | referendum of $100,000 is estimated to be $.... | 22 | | (2) Based upon an average annual percentage increase | 23 | | (or decrease) in the
market value of such property of ...% | 24 | | (insert percentage equal to the average
annual percentage | 25 | | increase or decrease for the prior 3 levy years, at the | 26 | | time the
submission of the question is initiated by the |
| | | HB5975 | - 3 - | LRB100 23947 HLH 43021 b |
|
| 1 | | taxing district, in the amount of (A) the
equalized | 2 | | assessed value of the taxable property in the taxing | 3 | | district less (B) the new
property included in the | 4 | | equalized assessed value), the approximate amount of the
| 5 | | additional tax extendable against such property for the ... | 6 | | levy year is estimated to be
$... and for the ... levy year | 7 | | is estimated to be $.... | 8 | | Paragraph (2) shall be included only if the increased | 9 | | extension limitation will be applicable for more than one year | 10 | | and shall list each levy year for which the increased extension | 11 | | limitation will be applicable. The additional tax shown for | 12 | | each levy year shall be the approximate dollar amount of the | 13 | | increase over the amount of the most recently completed | 14 | | extension at the time the submission of the question is | 15 | | initiated by the taxing district. The approximate amount of the | 16 | | additional tax extendable shown in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall | 17 | | be calculated by multiplying $100,000 (the fair market value of | 18 | | the property without regard to any property tax exemptions) by | 19 | | (i) the percentage level of assessment prescribed for that | 20 | | property by statute, or by ordinance of the county board in | 21 | | counties that classify property for purposes of taxation in | 22 | | accordance with Section 4 of Article IX of the Illinois | 23 | | Constitution; (ii) the most recent final equalization factor | 24 | | certified to the county clerk by the Department of Revenue at | 25 | | the time the taxing district initiates the submission of the | 26 | | proposition to the electors; (iii) the last known aggregate |
| | | HB5975 | - 4 - | LRB100 23947 HLH 43021 b |
|
| 1 | | extension base of the taxing district at the time the | 2 | | submission of the question is initiated by the taxing district; | 3 | | and (iv) the difference between the percentage increase | 4 | | proposed in the question and the lesser of 5% or the percentage | 5 | | increase in the Consumer Price Index for the prior levy year | 6 | | (or an estimate of the percentage increase for the prior levy | 7 | | year if the increase is unavailable at the time the submission | 8 | | of the question is initiated by the taxing district); and | 9 | | dividing the result by the last known equalized assessed value | 10 | | of the taxing district at the time the submission of the | 11 | | question is initiated by the taxing district. This amendatory | 12 | | Act of the 97th General Assembly is intended to clarify the | 13 | | existing requirements of this Section, and shall not be | 14 | | construed to validate any prior non-compliant referendum | 15 | | language. Any notice required to be published in connection | 16 | | with the submission of the question shall also contain this | 17 | | supplemental information and shall not contain any other | 18 | | supplemental information. Any error, miscalculation, or | 19 | | inaccuracy in computing any amount set forth on the ballot or | 20 | | in the notice that is not deliberate shall not invalidate or | 21 | | affect the validity of any proposition approved. Notice of the | 22 | | referendum shall be published and posted as otherwise required | 23 | | by law, and the submission of the question shall be initiated | 24 | | as provided by law.
| 25 | | (b) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, | 26 | | the increase in the limiting rate under the Property Tax |

It is the intention of the General Assembly in | 5 | | enacting this subsection to return the limiting rate for levy | 6 | | year 2018 to the limiting rate that would have been in effect | 7 | | for levy year 2017, had the increase of the limiting rate for | 8 | | levy year 2017 not been adopted at the election held on April | 9 | | 4, 2017. | 10 | | (Source: P.A. 97-1087, eff. 8-24-12.)
| 11 | | Section 90. The State Mandates Act is amended by adding | 12 | | Section 8.42 as follows: | 13 | | (30 ILCS 805/8.42 new) | 14 | | Sec. 8.42. Exempt mandate. Notwithstanding Sections 6 and 8 | 15 | | of this Act, no reimbursement by the State is required for the | 16 | | implementation of any mandate created by this amendatory Act of | 17 | | the 100th General Assembly.
| 18 | | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | 19 | | becoming law.
