Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

The county clerk of the county in which the municipality

county clerk shall extend the tax in a separate column designated the
"Seven Year Levee Tax."
The collector of state and county taxes, when he receives the money
collected from this levee tax, shall pay it to the municipal treasurer,
every 2 weeks, informing the treasurer that this money is from the 7 year
levee tax; and he shall take the treasurer's receipt for the money as 7
year levee tax paid over.
The municipal treasurer shall receive the money so paid over by the
collector and shall pay the money out as rapidly as possible on warrants
issued on the 7 year levee tax only, so long as such warrants remain
unpaid.
This tax shall be levied in addition to taxes for general purposes
authorized by Section 8-3-1.
The foregoing limitation upon tax rate may be increased or decreased
according to the referendum provisions of the General Revenue Law of
Illinois.
