Sec. 18-210. Establishing a new levy. Except as provided in Section 18-215,
as it relates to a transfer of a service, before a county clerk may extend
taxes for funds subject to the limitations of this Law, a new taxing district
or a taxing district with an aggregate extension base of zero shall hold a
referendum establishing a maximum aggregate extension for the levy year. The
maximum aggregate extension is established for the current levy year if a

Section may be held at the same time as the referendum on creating a new taxing
district. The question shall be submitted to the voters at a regularly
scheduled election in accordance with the Election Code
provided that notice of referendum, if held
before July 1, 1999,
has been given in accordance with the provisions of Section
12-5

the election, notwithstanding the time for publication otherwise imposed by
Section 12-5.
