Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.

The corporate authorities of any municipality adopting

not less than the minimum set out in the specified petition nor more
than the maximum specified in Section 11-95-7. If, however, the
corporate authorities desire to levy a tax in excess of .09% but not in

may, by ordinance, stating the tax rate desired, cause a proposition for
an assent thereto to be submitted to the voters of the municipality. The
proposition shall be certified
by the clerk for submission by the proper election authority at an election
in accordance with the general election law. If a majority of the votes cast upon
the proposition are in favor thereof, the corporate authorities may
thereafter levy a tax for recreation purposes at the authorized
increased rate. This tax shall be in addition to taxes for general
purposes authorized by Section 8-3-1, and shall be exclusive of all
other taxes which the municipality may levy and collect.

65 ILCS 5/11-95-11
(65 ILCS 5/11-95-11) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-95-11)
Sec. 11-95-11.
Whenever the greater portion of the area of a city, village or
incorporated town lies within the boundaries of a single Park District,
and the population of such city, village or incorporated town
constitutes a majority of the population of the Park District, and the
city, village or incorporated town levies and collects a tax for
recreation purposes, the functions of the Recreation Commission may be
merged with and relinquished to the Park District in the manner
following: The governing board of the city, village or incorporated town
shall adopt an ordinance by a vote of not less than 2/3 of the members
thereof. The ordinance shall set forth the intent and desire of the
city, village or incorporated town to relinquish and turn over to the
Park District the function of planning, establishing and maintaining the
municipal recreation program within the boundaries of the city, village
or incorporated town and to relinquish any and all powers which it may
have to levy and collect a tax known as "The Recreation Tax". The clerk
of the city, village or incorporated town shall mail a certified copy of
the ordinance to the Park District. If the Park Commissioners of the
Park District see fit, they may adopt an ordinance, by a vote of not
less than 2/3 of the members. This ordinance shall provide that the Park
District assumes the planning, establishing and maintaining of the
municipal recreation program within the boundaries of the city and the
Park District will levy and collect a tax at a rate not to exceed that
levied by the city, village or incorporated town, but that tax may not
exceed .09%, or the rate limit in effect on July 1, 1967, whichever is
greater, of the value as equalized or assessed by the Department of
Revenue, of all taxable property in such District for
the purpose of planning, establishing and maintaining recreational
programs, such programs to include playgrounds, community and recreation
centers.
Six months from the date of the adoption of the Ordinance by the Park
District, the District shall assume the functions previously performed
by the city, village or incorporated town through its recreation
commission, or other board or commission designated by the city, village
or incorporated town. Thereafter the Park District may levy and collect
a tax of not to exceed that rate previously levied by the city, village
or incorporated town for recreation purposes, but the rate of tax may
not exceed .09%, or the rate limit in effect on July 1, 1967, whichever
is greater, of the value as equalized or assessed by the Department of
Revenue, of all taxable property in such district for
the purpose of planning, establishing and maintaining recreation
programs, such programs to include playgrounds, community and recreation
centers and which tax shall be levied and collected in like manner as
the general taxes for the District. The foregoing limitations upon tax
rates may be increased or decreased under the referendum provisions of
the General Revenue Law of the State of Illinois. The tax to be levied
under this Section shall be in addition to all other taxes authorized by
law to be levied and collected in such district and shall not be
included within any limitation of rate contained in this Code or any
other law, but shall be excluded therefrom and be in addition thereto
and in excess thereof. Whenever the tax levied under this Section shall
be levied in addition to the tax levied under Section 5-2 of "The Park
District Code", the tax levied under this Section shall be levied and
extended only upon that property located within the boundaries of the
city, village or incorporated town, which lies within the boundaries of
the park district.
Six months from date of adoption of the ordinance by the District,
the city, village or incorporated town shall turn over to the Park
District any and all funds and tax monies in its possession on that
date, received by it from the "Recreation Tax". From time to time
thereafter, the city, village or incorporated town shall turn over to
the Park District all such recreation funds and tax monies as received
from levies adopted prior to the effective date of the merger. The funds
shall be paid to the treasurer of the Park District and kept in a fund
known as the "Recreational Program Fund."
