   clause.    Adds  provisions  amending  the  School  Code.   For school      
   districts with a population of less than 500,000 eliminates provisions      
   for separate educational, operations and maintenance,  transportation,      
   working  cash  fund,  and  special  education  purposes tax levies and      
   provides instead for a general operating fund levy  to  support  those      
   purposes. Provides that the rate of a district's general operating tax      
   fund  levy shall be the sum of the maximum rates at which the district      
   was authorized by statute or  referendum  to  levy  taxes  immediately      
   before  the  amendatory  Act's  effective  date  for  its educational,      
   operations and maintenance, transportation, working cash, and  special      
   education  funds.    Provides  for transfer of moneys from the general      
   operating fund to the individual purpose funds and for transfer  among      
   the  individual  purpose  funds  as  determined  by  the school board.      
   Authorizes increases in the general operating fund levy rate,  subject      
   to  certain  limits,  for  certain  purposes  pursuant  to referendum.      
   Repeals various provisions of the Article of the School Code  relating      
   to  school district tax levies, including provisions inconsistent with      
   the changes proposed by the amendatory Act and provisions  authorizing      
   a supplemental tax levy by certain districts.  Effective immediately.       
          FISCAL NOTE, H-AM 1 (State Board of Education)                       
          There would be no fiscal impact on SBE for staffing. Modifica-       
          tion of local districts' systems (assuming 850 districts) would      
          total $850,000. A State database would cost SBE $50,000.             
          STATE MANDATES NOTE, H-AM 1 (State Board of Education)
