2property or improvement of any grade crossing and grade
3crossing surface including the necessary highway approaches
4thereto of any railroad across the highway or public road, or

16which payments from the Grade Crossing Protection Fund will be
17made, the Commission shall account for expenditures authorized
18by the orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For
19purposes of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that
20the total cost of the project is expended in the fiscal year in
21which the order is entered, while a "cash basis" allocates the
22cost of the project among fiscal years as expenditures are
23actually made. To meet the requirements of this subsection, the
24Illinois Commerce Commission shall develop annual and 5-year
25project plans of rail crossing capital improvements that will

24municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
25of such municipalities as determined by the last preceding

10000SB2610ham005- 8 -LRB100 15376 HLH 43310 a

1Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality
2subsequent to the time of the last preceding census the
3corporate authorities of such municipality may cause a census
4to be taken of such annexed territory and the population so
5ascertained for such territory shall be added to the population
6of the municipality as determined by the last preceding census
7for the purpose of determining the allotment for that
8municipality. If the population of any municipality was not
9determined by the last Federal census preceding any
10apportionment, the apportionment to such municipality shall be
11in accordance with any census taken by such municipality. Any
12municipal census used in accordance with this Section shall be
13certified to the Department of Transportation by the clerk of
14such municipality, and the accuracy thereof shall be subject to
15approval of the Department which may make such corrections as
16it ascertains to be necessary.
17    As soon as may be after the first day of each month the
18Department of Transportation shall allot to each county its
19share of the amount apportioned to the several counties of the
20State as herein provided. Each allotment to the several
21counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
22proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees received
23from the residents of such counties, respectively, during the
24preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State shall, on or
25before April 15 of each year, transmit to the Department of
26Transportation a full and complete report showing the amount of

 

 

10000SB2610ham005- 9 -LRB100 15376 HLH 43310 a

1motor vehicle license fees received from the residents of each
2county, respectively, during the preceding calendar year. The
3Department of Transportation shall, each month, use for
4allotment purposes the last such report received from the
5Secretary of State.
6    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
7Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
8counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
9road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
10several counties in the State in the proportion which the total
11mileage of township or district roads in the respective
12counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
13district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
14counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
15allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
16proportion which the total mileage of such township or district
17roads in the respective road districts bears to the total
18mileage of all such township or district roads in the county.
19After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation shall be
20made for any road district unless it levied a tax for road and
21bridge purposes in an amount which will require the extension
22of such tax against the taxable property in any such road
23district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the value
24thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
25prior to the year in which such tax was levied and as equalized
26by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount

 

 

10000SB2610ham005- 10 -LRB100 15376 HLH 43310 a

1equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
2jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less. Beginning
3July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an allocation shall be
4made for any road district if it levied a tax for road and
5bridge purposes. In counties other than DuPage County, if the
6amount of the tax levy requires the extension of the tax
7against the taxable property in the road district at a rate
8that is less than 0.08% of the value thereof, based upon the
9assessment for the year immediately prior to the year in which
10the tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of
11Revenue, then the amount of the allocation for that road
12district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal
13to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by the
14district by 0.08%. In DuPage County, if the amount of the tax
15levy requires the extension of the tax against the taxable
16property in the road district at a rate that is less than the
17lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of the taxable property in the
18road district, based upon the assessment for the year
19immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
20as equalized by the Department of Revenue, or (ii) a rate that
21will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
22the jurisdiction of the road district, then the amount of the
23allocation for the road district shall be a percentage of the
24maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by dividing
25the rate extended by the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or
26(ii) the rate that will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per

 

 

10000SB2610ham005- 11 -LRB100 15376 HLH 43310 a

1mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district.
2    The Department shall prepare a continuous list (which may
3include a link to information already maintained on the
4Department's website) of all affected municipalities,
5counties, and road districts receiving more than $1,500,000 in
6motor fuel tax revenue in the previous fiscal year; the
7Department shall publish and continuously maintain the list on
8its website. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no
9municipality, county, or road district that received
10distributions under this subsection (e) totaling more than
11$2,000,000 in any State fiscal year beginning on or after July
121, 2018 shall receive any funds under this subsection (e) on or
13after July 1 of the third fiscal year to occur after the fiscal
14year in which the municipality, county, or road district
15received distributions totaling more than $2,000,000 unless,
16on or before June 30 of the second fiscal year after the
17municipality, county, or road district received distributions
18totaling more than $2,000,000, that municipality, county, or
19road district implements a disadvantaged business enterprise
20program setting goals for the inclusion of minority, veteran,
21and female-owned businesses in the procurement of all
22contracts, including, but not limited to, contracts funded
23using motor fuel tax revenue. Those programs shall (i) cover
24both professional services and construction procurement and
25(ii) be substantially similar to the State's disadvantaged
26business enterprise program for the region in which the

 

 

10000SB2610ham005- 12 -LRB100 15376 HLH 43310 a

1municipality, county, or road district is located, as
2established in the Department's most recent disparity study.
3The Department of Transportation shall prepare a list of all
4affected municipalities, counties, and road districts and
5shall publish the list on its website. Any municipality,
6county, or road district that is subject to this paragraph may
7adopt processes requiring disadvantaged business enterprises
8and non-disadvantaged business enterprises to provide
9additional documentation and assurances that the enterprise is
10qualified to complete the necessary work of the contract. No
11such municipality, county, or road district may adopt separate
12standards for disadvantaged business enterprises and
13non-disadvantaged business enterprises. Any additional
14processes must conform with 49 C.F.R. 26. This amendatory Act
15of the 100th General Assembly does not apply to any
16municipality, county, or road district that has established a
17disadvantaged business enterprise program prior to the
18effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General
19Assembly, as required by regulations adopted by the United
20States Department of Transportation at 49 C.F.R. 26.
21    With respect to municipalities, counties, and road
22districts that are subject to the disadvantaged business
23enterprise program requirements of the preceding paragraph,
24when a disadvantaged business enterprise bid price is more than
255% above the non-disadvantaged business enterprise bid price,
26the municipality, county, or road district may grant a goal

1modification if it determines that good faith efforts have been
2met on the part of the prime contractor in accordance with 49
3C.F.R. 26.
4    Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
5tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602 and
66-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
7an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
8than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
9equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
10DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
11mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
12whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a proper
13compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
14district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning in 2011
15and thereafter, if any road district has levied a special tax
16for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and 6-603 of the
17Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in an amount that
18would require extension at a rate of not less than 0.08% of the
19value of the taxable property of that road district, as
20equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue or, in
21DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
22mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
23whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a proper
24compliance with this Section and shall qualify such road
25district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment under
26this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less than

 

 

10000SB2610ham005- 14 -LRB100 15376 HLH 43310 a

10.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
2County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
3of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
4jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
5special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
6purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
7district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment under
8this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to or
9less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then any
10allotment under this Section shall be determined by the other
11levy for road and bridge purposes.
12    Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road
13and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
14tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax
15levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in
16DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
17mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
18whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
19levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section and
20shall qualify the road district for an allotment under this
21Section.
22    In counties in which a property tax extension limitation is
23imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, road
24districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel tax
25allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a full
26allotment if, at the time the property tax extension limitation

 

 

10000SB2610ham005- 15 -LRB100 15376 HLH 43310 a

1was imposed, the road district was levying a road and bridge
2tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor fuel tax
3allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable amount
4after the imposition of the property tax extension limitation.
5Any road district may in all circumstances retain its
6entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
72011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
8and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
9the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
10rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
11property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
12preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
13by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount
14equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
15jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
16    As used in this Section the term "road district" means any
17road district, including a county unit road district, provided
18for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term "township or
19district road" means any road in the township and district road
20system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code. For the
21purposes of this Section, "township or district road" also
22includes such roads as are maintained by park districts, forest
23preserve districts and conservation districts. The Department
24of Transportation shall determine the mileage of all township
25and district roads for the purposes of making allotments and
26allocations of motor fuel tax funds for use in road districts.

3is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may invest
4these funds until their use is required and the interest earned
5by these investments shall be limited to the same uses as the
6principal funds.
