(65 ILCS 5/11-43-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-43-2)
Sec. 11-43-2.
Taxes levied by any municipality having a population
of 500,000 or more for general assistance for persons in need thereof as
provided in The Illinois Public Aid Code, as now or hereafter amended,
for each fiscal year shall not exceed the rate of .10% upon the value of
all property therein as that property is equalized or assessed by the
Department of Revenue. Nor shall the rate produce in
excess of the amount needed in that municipality for general assistance
for persons in need thereof.
All money received from these taxes and moneys collected or recovered
by or in behalf of the municipality under The Illinois Public Aid Code
shall be used exclusively for the furnishing of general assistance
within the municipality; for the payment of administrative costs
thereof; and for the payment of warrants issued against and in
anticipation of the general assistance taxes, and accrued interest
thereon. Until January 1, 1974, the treasurer of the municipality, shall
pay all moneys received from general assistance taxes and all the moneys
collected or recovered by or in behalf of the municipality under The
Illinois Public Aid Code into the special fund in the county treasury
established pursuant to Section 12-21.14 of that Code. After December
31, 1973, but not later than June 30, 1979, the treasurer of the
municipality shall pay all moneys received from general assistance taxes
and collections or recoveries directly into the Special Purposes Trust
Fund (now known as the DHS Special Purposes Trust Fund) established by Section 12-10 of The Illinois Public Aid Code.
After June 30, 1979, moneys and funds designated by this Section shall
be paid into the General Revenue Fund as reimbursement for appropriated
funds disbursed.
Upon the filing with the county clerk of a certified copy of an
ordinance levying such taxes, the county clerk shall extend the taxes
upon the books of the collector of state and county taxes within that
municipality in the manner provided in Section 8-3-1 for the extension
of municipal taxes.
