12under the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the
13Illinois Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in
14the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area
15Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
16means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value

25denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
26value of all real property in the territory under the

2For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
3extension for the last preceding levy year, except for school
4districts that reduced their extension for educational
5purposes pursuant to Section 18-206, the highest aggregate
6extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be
7used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. The
8denominator shall not include new property or the recovered tax
9increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a limiting
10rate increase has been approved at an election held after March
1121, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable limiting rate shall
12be increased by the amount of the new rate or shall be reduced
13by the amount of the rate decrease, as the case may be, or (ii)
14in the case of a limiting rate increase, the limiting rate
15shall be equal to the rate set forth in the proposition
16approved by the voters for each of the years specified in the
17proposition, after which the limiting rate of the taxing
18district shall be calculated as otherwise provided. In the case
19of a taxing district that obtained referendum approval for an
20increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the limiting rate
21for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that generates the
22approximate total amount of taxes extendable for that tax year,
23as set forth in the proposition approved by the voters; this
24rate shall be the final rate applied by the county clerk for
25the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for tax year
262012.

6    authorized by the board.
7        (4) If the police officer dies in service before
8    payment in full has been made and before the expiration of
9    the 5-year payment period, the surviving spouse of the
10    officer may elect to pay the unpaid amount on the officer's
11    behalf within 6 months after the date of death, in which
12    case the creditable service shall be granted as though the
13    deceased police officer had paid the remaining balance on
14    the day before the date of death.
15        (5) If the additional contribution that is required or
16    elected under paragraph (2) of this subsection (d) is not

23    under subdivision (a)(1) of Section 3-110.7 or
24    subdivisions (a)(1) and (a)(3) of Section 7-139.9 that
25    represent employee contributions paid by the police
26    officer (but not the accumulated interest on those

 

 

HB1567- 51 -LRB101 06695 RPS 51722 b

1    contributions) and interest paid by the police officer to
2    the prior pension fund in order to reinstate service
3    terminated by acceptance of a refund.

7    3-110.7 or 7-139.9 the amount originally transferred under
8    subdivision (a)(2) of that Section, plus interest at the
9    rate of 6% per year, compounded annually, from the date of
10    the original transfer to the date of repayment. Amounts
11    repaid to the Article 7 fund under this provision shall be
12    credited to the appropriate municipality.
13        Transferred credit that is not granted due to failure
14    to pay the additional contribution within the required time
15    is lost; it may not be transferred to another pension fund
16    and may not be reinstated in the pension fund from which it
17    was transferred.
18        (6) The Public Employee Pension Fund Division of the
19    Department of Insurance shall establish by rule the manner
20    of making the calculation required under paragraph (2) of
21    this subsection, taking into account the appropriate
22    actuarial assumptions; the police officer's service, age,
23    and salary history; the level of funding of the pension
24    fund to which the credits are being transferred; and any
25    other factors that the Division determines to be relevant.

9        (e)(1) Creditable service also includes periods of
10    service originally established in the Fund established
11    under Article 7 of this Code for which the contributions
12    have been transferred under Section 7-139.11.
13        (2) If the board of the pension fund to which
14    creditable service and related contributions are
15    transferred under Section 7-139.11 determines that the
16    amount transferred is less than the true cost to the
17    pension fund of allowing that creditable service to be
18    established, then the amount of creditable service the
19    police officer may establish under this subsection (e)
20    shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference, as
21    determined by the board in accordance with the rules and
22    procedures adopted under paragraph (3) of this subsection.
23        (3) The Public Pension Division of the Department of
24    Financial and Professional Regulation shall establish by
