Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(110 ILCS 805/3-20.5) (from Ch. 122, par. 103-20.5)

Sec. 3-20.5.

The board of each community college district shall
ascertain, as near as practicable, annually, how much money must be raised
by special tax for educational purposes and for operations and maintenance
of facilities purposes for the next ensuing year.  Such amounts shall be
certified and returned to the county clerk on or before the last Tuesday in
December, annually.  The certificate shall be signed by the chairman and
secretary, and may be in the following form:

CERTIFICATE OF TAX LEVY

We hereby certify that we require the sum of ....  dollars to be levied
as a special tax for educational purposes, and the sum of ....  dollars to
be levied as a special tax for operations and maintenance of facilities
purposes, on the equalized assessed value of the taxable property of our
district, for the year (insert year).

Signed on (insert date).

A .... B ...., Chairman

C .... D ...., Secretary

Community College Dist. No. ...., .... County (or Counties)

An amended certificate may be filed by the community college board within
10 days of receipt of official notification from the county clerk of the
multiplier that will be applied to assessed value of the taxable property
of the district, provided such multiplier will alter the amount of revenue
received by the district from either local or State sources.

A failure by the board to file the certificate with the county clerk in
the time required shall not vitiate the assessment.
