 1        AN ACT to amend the Property Tax Code by changing Section
 2    15-95.
 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section  5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
 6    Section 15-95 as follows:
 7        (35 ILCS 200/15-95)
 8        Sec. 15-95.  Housing authorities. All property of housing
 9    authorities created under  the  Housing  Authorities  Act  is
10    exempt,  if  the  property  and improvements are used for low
11    rent housing and related uses.  However, property or portions
12    thereof intended or  used  for  stores  or  other  commercial
13    purposes are not exempt. Nothing in this Section herein shall
14    exempt  property  of  housing authorities or any part thereof
15    from  special  assessments  or  special  taxation  for  local
16    improvements. Nothing contained  in  this  Section  shall  be
17    construed  as limiting the power of any political subdivision
18    of this State to sell or furnish  a  housing  authority  with
19    water,  electricity,  gas,  or  other services and facilities
20    under the same basis that those services and  facilities  are
21    rendered to others under similar circumstances.
