| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| represented in the General Assembly:
| Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the Flood | Prevention District Act.
| Section 5. Creation; purpose. | (a) Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair Counties may each be | designated independently and separately as a flood prevention | district for the purpose of performing emergency levee repair | and flood prevention in order to prevent the loss of life or | property. The county board of any such county may declare an | emergency and create a flood prevention district by the | affirmative vote of the majority of the members of the county | board. | (b) Two or more flood prevention districts may join | together through an intergovernmental agreement, pursuant to | the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act. | (c) Any district created under this Act shall be dissolved | upon the later of (i) 25 years after the date the district is | created or (ii) the payment of all obligations of the district | under Section 20 of this Act and any federal reimbursement | moneys to the county treasurer under Section 30 of this Act. A | district may be dissolved earlier if all federal reimbursement |
| moneys have been paid to the county treasurer and all | obligations of the district have been paid, including its | obligations related to bonds issued under Section 20 of this | Act and any obligations incurred pursuant to an | intergovernmental agreement. | Section 10. Commissioners. | The affairs of the district shall be managed by a
board of | 3 commissioners who shall be appointed by the chairman of the | county board of the county in which the
district is situated. | All initial appointments under this Section must be made within | 90 days after the district is organized. Of the initial | appointments, one commissioner shall serve for a one-year term, | one commissioner shall serve for a 2-year term, and one | commissioner shall serve for a 3-year term, as determined by | lot. Their successors shall be appointed for 3-year terms. No | commissioner may serve for more than 20 years. All appointments | must be made so that no more than 2 commissioners are from the | same political party at the time of the appointment. With | respect to appointments representing the minority party in the | county, the minority party members of the county board may | submit names for consideration to the chairman of the county | board. Each commissioner must be a
legal voter in the district, | and at least one commissioner shall reside or own property that | is located within a floodplain situated in the territory of the | flood protection district. Commissioners shall serve without |
| compensation, but may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses | incurred in the performance of their duties. | Section 20. Powers of the district. A district formed under | this Act shall have the following powers: | (1) To sue or be sued. | (2) To apply for and accept gifts, grants, and loans | from any public agency or private entity. | (3) To enter into intergovernmental agreements to | further ensure levee repair, levee construction or | reconstruction, and flood prevention, including agreements | with the United States Army Corps of Engineers or any other | agency or department of the federal government. | (4) To undertake evaluation, planning, design, | construction, and related activities that are determined | to be urgently needed to stabilize, repair, restore, | improve, or replace existing levees and other flood control | systems. | (5) To address underseepage problems and old and | deteriorating pumps, gates, pipes, electrical controls, | and other infrastructure. | (6) To conduct evaluations of levees and other flood | control facilities that protect urban areas, including the | performance of floodplain mapping studies. | (7) To provide capital moneys for levee or | river-related scientific studies, including the |
| construction of facilities for such purposes. | (8) To borrow money or receive money from the United | States Government or any agency
thereof, or from any other | public or private source, for the purposes of
the District. | (9) To enter into agreements with private property | owners. | (10) To issue revenue bonds, payable from revenue | received from a retailers' occupation tax imposed under | Section 25 of this Act, and from any other revenue sources | available to the flood prevention district. These bonds may | be
issued with maturities not exceeding 25 years from the | date of the
bonds, and in such amounts as may be necessary | to provide sufficient
funds, together with interest, for | the purposes of the District. These
bonds shall bear | interest at a rate of not more than the maximum rate
| authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the | time of the
making of the contract of sale, payable | semi-annually, may be made
registerable as to
principal, | and may be made payable and callable as provided on any | date at a price of
par and accrued interest under such | terms and conditions as may be fixed by the
ordinance | authorizing the issuance of the bonds. Bonds issued under | this
Section are negotiable instruments. In case any | officer whose signature appears on the
bonds or
coupons | ceases to hold that office before the bonds are delivered, | such
officer's
signature shall nevertheless be valid and |
| sufficient for all purposes the
same as though such officer | had remained in office until the bonds
were delivered. The
| bonds shall be sold in such manner and upon such terms as | the board of commissioners
shall determine, except that the | selling price shall be such that the interest
cost to the | District of the proceeds of the bonds shall not exceed the | maximum
rate authorized by the Bond Authorization Act, as | amended at the time of the
making of the contract of sale, | payable semi-annually, computed to maturity
according
to | the standard table of bond values. A request to issue | revenue bonds by the Commission must be submitted for | approval to the county board of the county in which the | district is situated. The county board has 30 calendar days | to approve the issuance of such bonds. If the county board | does not approve or disapprove the issuance of the bonds | within 30 calendar days after the receipt of such request, | the request shall be deemed approved. | (11) To acquire property by gift, grant, or eminent | domain, in accordance with the Eminent Domain Act. Any | action by the District to acquire property by eminent | domain requires the express approval of the county board. | (12) To retain professional staff to carry out the | functions of the District. Any flood prevention district | shall employ a Chief Supervisor of Construction and the | Works with appropriate professional qualifications, | including a degree in engineering, construction, |
| hydrology, or a related field, or an equivalent combination | of education and experience. The Chief Supervisor of | Construction and the Works shall be vested with the | authority to carry out the duties and mission of the Flood | Prevention District, pursuant to the direction and | supervision of the Board of Commissioners. The Chief | Supervisor of Construction and the Works may hire | additional staff as necessary to carry out the duties and | mission of the district, including administrative support | personnel. Two or more districts may, through an | intergovernmental agreement, share the services of a Chief | Supervisor of Construction and the Works, support staff, or | both. If 2 districts are adjoining and share a common | federal levee, they must retain the services of the same | person as Chief Supervisor of Construction and the Works. | (13) To conduct an audit of any drainage, levee, or | sanitary district within the territory of the flood | prevention district. | Section 25. Retailers' occupation tax. | (a) If the Board of a flood prevention district determines | that an emergency situation exists regarding levee repair or | flood prevention, and upon an ordinance or resolution adopted | by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the | county board of the county in which the district is situated, | it may impose a
retailers' occupation tax upon all persons |
| engaged in the business of
selling tangible personal property | at retail within the territory of the district for a period not | to exceed 25 years or as required to repay the bonds issued | pursuant to Section 20 of this Act.
The tax rate shall be 0.25%
| of the gross receipts from all taxable sales made in the course | of that
business. The tax
imposed under this Section and all | civil penalties that may be
assessed as an incident thereof | shall be collected and enforced by the
State Department of | Revenue. The Department shall have full power to
administer and | enforce this Section; to collect all taxes and penalties
so | collected in the manner hereinafter provided; and to determine | all
rights to credit memoranda arising on account of the | erroneous payment
of tax or penalty hereunder. | In the administration of and compliance with this | subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this | subsection (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) are subject to the same | conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and | definitions of terms, and (iii) shall employ the same modes of | procedure as are set forth in Sections 1 through 1o, 2 through | 2-70 (in respect to all provisions contained in those Sections | other than the State rate of tax), 2a through 2h, 3 (except as | to the disposition of taxes and penalties collected), 4, 5, 5a, | 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, 5f, 5g, 5h, 5i, 5l, 6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 7, 8, 9, 10, | 11, 11a, 12, and 13 of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act and | all provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act as if |
| those provisions were set forth in this subsection. | Persons subject to any tax imposed under this Section may | reimburse themselves for their seller's tax
liability | hereunder by separately stating the tax as an additional
| charge, which charge may be stated in combination in a single | amount
with State taxes that sellers are required to collect | under the Use
Tax Act, under any bracket schedules the
| Department may prescribe. | If a tax is imposed under this subsection (a), a tax shall | also
be imposed under subsection (b) of this Section. | (b) If a tax has been imposed under subsection (a), a | service occupation
tax shall
also be imposed upon all persons | within the territory of the district engaged in
the business of | making sales of service, who, as an incident to making the | sales
of service, transfer tangible personal property within | the territory of the district,
either in the form of tangible | personal property or in the form of real estate
as an incident | to a sale of service. The tax rate shall be 0.25% of the | selling price
of all tangible personal property transferred. | The tax imposed under this subsection and all civil
| penalties that may be assessed as an incident thereof shall be | collected
and enforced by the State Department of Revenue. The | Department shall
have full power to administer and enforce this | subsection; to collect all
taxes and penalties due hereunder; | to dispose of taxes and penalties
collected in the manner | hereinafter provided; and to determine all
rights to credit |
| memoranda arising on account of the erroneous payment
of tax or | penalty hereunder. | In the administration of and compliance with this | subsection, the Department and persons who are subject to this | subsection (i) have the same rights, remedies, privileges, | immunities, powers, and duties, (ii) be subject to the same | conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties, and | definitions of terms, and (iii) employ the same modes of | procedure as are set forth in Sections 2 (except that that | reference to State in the definition of supplier maintaining a | place of business in this State means the district), 2a through | 2d, 3 through 3-50 (in respect to all provisions contained in | those Sections other than the State rate of tax), 4 (except | that the reference to the State shall be to the district), 5, | 7, 8 (except that the jurisdiction to which the tax is a debt | to the extent indicated in that Section 8 is the district), 9 | (except as to the disposition of taxes and penalties | collected), 10, 11, 12 (except the reference therein to Section | 2b of the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act), 13 (except that any | reference to the State means the district), Section 15, 16, 17, | 18, 19, and 20 of the Service Occupation Tax Act and all | provisions of the Uniform Penalty and Interest Act, as fully as | if those provisions were set forth herein. | Persons subject to any tax imposed under the authority | granted
in this subsection may reimburse themselves for their | serviceman's tax
liability hereunder by separately stating the |
| tax as an additional
charge, that charge may be stated in | combination in a single amount
with State tax that servicemen | are authorized to collect under the
Service Use Tax Act, under | any bracket schedules the
Department may prescribe. | (c) This additional tax may not be imposed on personal | property titled or registered with an agency of the State; food | for human consumption that is to be consumed off the premises | where it is sold (other than alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, | and food that has been prepared for immediate consumption); | prescription and non-prescription medicines, drugs, and | medical appliances; or insulin, urine testing materials, and | syringes and needles used by diabetics. | (d) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize | the
district to impose a tax upon the privilege of engaging in | any business
that under the Constitution of the United States | may not be made the
subject of taxation by the State. | (e) The certificate of registration that is issued by the | Department to a retailer under the Retailers' Occupation Tax | Act or a serviceman under the Service Occupation Tax Act | permits the retailer or serviceman to engage in a business that | is taxable without registering separately with the Department | under an ordinance or resolution under this Section. | (f) The Department shall immediately pay over to the State | Treasurer, ex officio, as trustee, all taxes and penalties | collected under this Section to be deposited into the Flood | Prevention Occupation Tax Fund, which shall be an |
| unappropriated trust fund held outside the State treasury. | On or before the 25th day of each calendar month, the | Department shall prepare and certify to the Comptroller that | disbursement of stated sums of money to the counties from which | retailers or servicemen have paid taxes or penalties to the | Department during the second preceding calendar month. The | amount to be paid to each county is equal to the amount (not | including credit memoranda) collected from the county under | this Section during the second preceding calendar month by the | Department, (i) less 2% of that amount, which shall be | deposited into the Tax Compliance and Administration Fund and | shall be used by the Department in administering and enforcing | the provisions of this Section on behalf of the county, (ii) | plus an amount that the Department determines is necessary to | offset any amounts that were erroneously paid to a different | taxing body; (iii) less an amount equal to the amount of | refunds made during the second preceding calendar month by the | Department on behalf of the county; and (iv) less any amount | that the Department determines is necessary to offset any | amounts that were payable to a different taxing body but were | erroneously paid to the county. When certifying the amount of a | monthly disbursement to a county under this Section, the | Department shall increase or decrease the amounts by an amount | necessary to offset any miscalculation of previous | disbursements within the previous 6 months from the time a | miscalculation is discovered. |
| Within 10 days after receipt by the Comptroller from the | Department of the disbursement certification to the counties | provided for in this Section, the Comptroller shall cause the | orders to be drawn for the respective amounts in accordance | with directions contained in the certification. | If the Department determines that a refund should be made | under this Section to a claimant instead of issuing a credit | memorandum, then the Department shall notify the Comptroller, | who shall cause the order to be drawn for the amount specified | and to the person named in the notification from the | Department. The refund shall be paid by the Treasurer out of | the Flood Prevention Occupation Tax Fund. | (g) If a flood prevention district board imposes a tax | under this Section, then the board shall, by ordinance, | discontinue the tax upon the payment of all bonded indebtedness | of the District. The tax shall not be discontinued until all | bonded indebtedness of the District has been paid. | (h) Any ordinance imposing the tax under this Section, or | any ordinance that discontinues the tax, must be certified by | the county clerk and filed with the Illinois Department of | Revenue either (i) on or before the first day of April, | whereupon the Department shall proceed to administer and | enforce the tax or change in the rate as of the first day of | July next following the filing; or (ii) on or before the first | day of October, whereupon the Department shall proceed to | administer and enforce the tax or change in the rate as of the |
| first day of January next following the filing. | (j) This Section may be cited as the Flood Prevention | Occupation Tax Law. | Section 30. Disbursement of federal funds. | (a) Any reimbursements for the construction of flood | protection facilities shall be appropriated to each county | flood prevention district in accordance with the location of | the specific facility for which the federal appropriation is | made. | (b) If there are federal reimbursements to a county flood | prevention district for construction of flood protection | facilities that were built using revenues authorized by this | Act, those funds shall be used for early retirement of bonds | issued in accordance with this Act. | (c) When all bond obligations of the District have been | paid, any remaining federal reimbursement moneys shall be | remitted to the county treasurer for deposit into a special | fund for the continued long-term maintenance of federal levees | and flood protection facilities, pursuant to the direction of | the county board. | Section 35. Financial audit of the Commission. A financial | audit of the Commission shall be conducted annually by a | certified public accountant (CPA) that is licensed at the time | of the audit by the Illinois Department of Financial and |
| Professional Regulation. The CPA shall meet all of the general | standards concerning qualifications, independence, due | professional care, and quality control as required by the | Government Auditing Standards, 1994 Revision, Chapter 3, | including the requirements for continuing professional | education and external peer review.
