 1                     AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 52

 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill  52  by  replacing
 3    everything after the enacting clause with the following:

 4        "Section 5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
 5    Section 18-150 as follows:

 6        (35 ILCS 200/18-150)
 7        Sec.  18-150.  Extension  in  one total. In counties with
 8    3,000,000 or more inhabitants, the county clerk shall, and in
 9    all other counties the  county  clerk  may,  extend  on  each
10    valuation  of  property  the  sum of the taxes to be extended
11    upon the property in one total.  When  collected,  the  taxes
12    shall  be divided among the taxing bodies levying the same in
13    proportion to the rates as determined  by  the  clerk,  after
14    deducting  from  any tax the amount or amounts, if any, ruled
15    invalid by  the  final  judgment  of  a  court  of  competent
16    jurisdiction, and in the event a municipality has adopted tax
17    increment  financing under Division 74.4 of Article 11 of the
18    Illinois Municipal Code, after deducting from any tax, except
19    from a tax levied by a township to  retire  bonds  issued  to
20    satisfy court-ordered damages, the amount to be placed in the
21    special  tax  allocation fund, and distributing the amount to
22    be placed in the special  fund  to  the  municipal  treasurer

 1    under  Section 11-74.4-8 of that Act. The clerk shall certify
 2    in  the  collector's  books  the  rates  as  determined   for
 3    extension  in  such manner as to indicate the different taxes
 4    entering into each total.  All  officers  dealing  with  such
 5    extensions,  shall  record  them  by totals.  The clerk shall
 6    show in the collector's books the total tax due  each  taxing
 7    body as extended.
 8        If  (i)  a  county  clerk does not extend in one total on
 9    each valuation of  property  the  sum  of  the  taxes  to  be
10    extended  upon  the  property  and  (ii)  a  municipality has
11    adopted  tax  increment  financing  under  Division  74.4  of
12    Article 11 of the Illinois Municipal Code, then the clerk may
13    not deduct the  amount  to  be  placed  in  the  special  tax
14    allocation  fund  from  a  tax levied by a township to retire
15    bonds issued to satisfy court-ordered damages.

17        Section 10.  The Illinois Municipal Code  is  amended  by
18    changing Section 11-74.4-8 as follows:

19        (65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-8) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-8)
20        Sec.   11-74.4-8.   A  municipality  may  not  adopt  tax
21    increment financing in a redevelopment project area after the
22    effective date of this  amendatory  Act  of  1997  that  will
23    encompass an area that is currently included in an enterprise
24    zone  created  under  the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act unless
25    that municipality, pursuant to Section 5.4  of  the  Illinois
26    Enterprise  Zone  Act, amends the enterprise zone designating
27    ordinance to limit the  eligibility  for  tax  abatements  as
28    provided  in  Section  5.4.1  of the Illinois Enterprise Zone
29    Act.  A municipality, at the  time  a  redevelopment  project
30    area  is  designated,  may  adopt  tax  increment  allocation
31    financing  by  passing  an  ordinance  providing  that the ad
32    valorem taxes, if any, arising from the levies  upon  taxable
 
                            -3-              LRB9101534PTpkam
 1    real  property  in  such redevelopment project area by taxing
 2    districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided  in
 3    paragraph  (c)  of  Section  11-74.4-9  each  year  after the
 4    effective date of the ordinance until  redevelopment  project
 5    costs  and  all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
 6    project costs incurred under this  Division  have  been  paid
 7    shall be divided as follows:
 8        (a)  That  portion of taxes levied upon each taxable lot,
 9    block, tract or parcel of real property which is attributable
10    to the lower of the current equalized assessed value  or  the
11    initial  equalized  assessed  value of each such taxable lot,
12    block, tract or parcel of real property in the  redevelopment
13    project  area  shall be allocated to and when collected shall
14    be paid by the county collector to  the  respective  affected
15    taxing districts in the manner required by law in the absence
16    of the adoption of tax increment allocation financing.
17        (b)  Except  from  a  tax  levied by a township to retire
18    bonds issued to satisfy court-ordered damages, that  portion,
19    if  any,  of such taxes which is attributable to the increase
20    in the current equalized assessed valuation of  each  taxable
21    lot,   block,  tract  or  parcel  of  real  property  in  the
22    redevelopment  project  area  over  and  above  the   initial
23    equalized assessed value of each property in the project area
24    shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid to the
25    municipal  treasurer  who  shall  deposit  said  taxes into a
26    special fund called the special tax allocation  fund  of  the
27    municipality  for the purpose of paying redevelopment project
28    costs and obligations incurred in the payment thereof. In any
29    county with a  population  of  3,000,000  or  more  that  has
30    adopted  a  procedure  for collecting taxes that provides for
31    one or more of the installments of the taxes to be billed and
32    collected on an  estimated  basis,  the  municipal  treasurer
33    shall  be paid for deposit in the special tax allocation fund
34    of the municipality, from the taxes collected from  estimated
 
                            -4-              LRB9101534PTpkam
 1    bills  issued for property in the redevelopment project area,
 2    the difference between the  amount  actually  collected  from
 3    each  taxable  lot,  block, tract, or parcel of real property
 4    within  the  redevelopment  project  area   and   an   amount
 5    determined  by  multiplying the rate at which taxes were last
 6    extended against the taxable lot, block, track, or parcel  of
 7    real  property  in  the  manner provided in subsection (c) of
 8    Section 11-74.4-9 by the initial equalized assessed value  of
 9    the  property  divided by the number of installments in which
10    real estate taxes are billed and collected within the county,
11    provided each of the following conditions are met:
12             (1)  The  total  equalized  assessed  value  of  the
13        redevelopment project area as  last  determined  was  not
14        less  than  175%  of the total initial equalized assessed
15        value.
16             (2)  Not  more  than  50%  of  the  total  equalized
17        assessed value of the redevelopment project area as  last
18        determined   is  attributable  to  a  piece  of  property
19        assigned a single real estate index number.
20             (3)  The municipal clerk has certified to the county
21        clerk that the municipality has issued its obligations to
22        which there has been  pledged  the  incremental  property
23        taxes  of  the redevelopment project area or taxes levied
24        and collected on any or all property in the  municipality
25        or  the  full faith and credit of the municipality to pay
26        or  secure  payment  for  all  or  a   portion   of   the
27        redevelopment  project  costs. The certification shall be
28        filed  annually  no  later  than  September  1  for   the
29        estimated  taxes to be distributed in the following year;
30        however, for the year 1992  the  certification  shall  be
31        made at any time on or before March 31, 1992.
32             (4)  The  municipality  has  not  requested that the
33        total initial equalized assessed value of  real  property
34        be  adjusted  as  provided  in  subsection (b) of Section
 
                            -5-              LRB9101534PTpkam
 1        11-74.4-9.
 2        It  is  the  intent  of  this  Division  that  after  the
 3    effective  date  of   this   amendatory   Act   of   1988   a
 4    municipality's  own  ad  valorem  tax  arising from levies on
 5    taxable real property be included  in  the  determination  of
 6    incremental  revenue  in the manner provided in paragraph (c)
 7    of Section 11-74.4-9. If the  municipality  does  not  extend
 8    such  a  tax, it shall annually deposit in the municipality's
 9    Special Tax Increment Fund an amount  equal  to  10%  of  the
10    total  contributions  to  the  fund  from  all  other  taxing
11    districts  in  that year.  The annual 10% deposit required by
12    this paragraph shall be  limited  to  the  actual  amount  of
13    municipally  produced  incremental  tax revenues available to
14    the municipality from taxpayers located in the  redevelopment
15    project  area  in  that  year  if:  (a) the plan for the area
16    restricts the use of the  property  primarily  to  industrial
17    purposes, (b) the municipality establishing the redevelopment
18    project  area is a home-rule community with a 1990 population
19    of between 25,000 and 50,000, (c) the municipality is  wholly
20    located  within  a  county  with  a  1990  population of over
21    750,000  and  (d)  the   redevelopment   project   area   was
22    established  by the municipality prior to June 1, 1990.  This
23    payment shall be in lieu of  a  contribution  of  ad  valorem
24    taxes  on  real  property.  If  no  such payment is made, any
25    redevelopment project  area  of  the  municipality  shall  be
26    dissolved.
27        If  a  municipality  has adopted tax increment allocation
28    financing  by  ordinance  and  the  County  Clerk  thereafter
29    certifies the "total  initial  equalized  assessed  value  as
30    adjusted"   of   the   taxable   real  property  within  such
31    redevelopment  project  area  in  the  manner   provided   in
32    paragraph  (b) of Section 11-74.4-9, each year after the date
33    of the certification of the total initial equalized  assessed
34    value  as  adjusted until redevelopment project costs and all
 
                            -6-              LRB9101534PTpkam
 1    municipal obligations financing redevelopment  project  costs
 2    have been paid the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the
 3    levies  upon  the taxable real property in such redevelopment
 4    project area by taxing districts and tax rates determined  in
 5    the  manner  provided  in  paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9
 6    shall be divided as follows:
 7             (1)  That portion of  the  taxes  levied  upon  each
 8        taxable  lot,  block,  tract  or  parcel of real property
 9        which  is  attributable  to  the  lower  of  the  current
10        equalized assessed value or "current  equalized  assessed
11        value  as  adjusted"  or  the  initial equalized assessed
12        value of each such taxable lot, block, tract,  or  parcel
13        of  real  property  existing  at  the  time tax increment
14        financing was adopted, minus the total current  homestead
15        exemptions  provided by Sections 15-170 and 15-175 of the
16        Property Tax Code in the redevelopment project area shall
17        be allocated to and when collected shall be paid  by  the
18        county   collector  to  the  respective  affected  taxing
19        districts in the manner required by law in the absence of
20        the adoption of tax increment allocation financing.
21             (2)  That portion, if any, of such  taxes  which  is
22        attributable  to  the  increase  in the current equalized
23        assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract,  or
24        parcel  of  real  property  in  the redevelopment project
25        area, over and above the initial equalized assessed value
26        of each property  existing  at  the  time  tax  increment
27        financing  was adopted, minus the total current homestead
28        exemptions pertaining to each piece of property  provided
29        by Sections 15-170 and 15-175 of the Property Tax Code in
30        the redevelopment project area, shall be allocated to and
31        when  collected shall be paid to the municipal Treasurer,
32        who shall deposit said taxes into a special  fund  called
33        the  special  tax allocation fund of the municipality for
34        the purpose of paying  redevelopment  project  costs  and
 
                            -7-              LRB9101534PTpkam
 1        obligations incurred in the payment thereof.
 2        The municipality may pledge in the ordinance the funds in
 3    and  to  be  deposited in the special tax allocation fund for
 4    the payment of such costs and obligations.  No  part  of  the
 5    current  equalized assessed valuation of each property in the
 6    redevelopment project area attributable to any increase above
 7    the total initial equalized  assessed  value,  or  the  total
 8    initial   equalized  assessed  value  as  adjusted,  of  such
 9    properties shall be used in  calculating  the  general  State
10    school  aid  formula,  provided  for  in  Section 18-8 of the
11    School Code, until such time  as  all  redevelopment  project
12    costs have been paid as provided for in this Section.
13        Whenever  a  municipality issues bonds for the purpose of
14    financing redevelopment project costs, such municipality  may
15    provide  by ordinance for the appointment of a trustee, which
16    may be any trust  company  within  the  State,  and  for  the
17    establishment  of  such funds or accounts to be maintained by
18    such trustee as the  municipality  shall  deem  necessary  to
19    provide  for  the security and payment of the bonds.  If such
20    municipality provides for the appointment of a trustee,  such
21    trustee  shall  be  considered  the  assignee of any payments
22    assigned by the municipality pursuant to such  ordinance  and
23    this  Section.   Any amounts paid to such trustee as assignee
24    shall be deposited  in  the  funds  or  accounts  established
25    pursuant  to  such trust agreement, and shall be held by such
26    trustee in trust for the benefit of the holders of the bonds,
27    and such holders shall have a lien on and a security interest
28    in such funds  or  accounts  so  long  as  the  bonds  remain
29    outstanding  and  unpaid.  Upon  retirement of the bonds, the
30    trustee shall  pay  over  any  excess  amounts  held  to  the
31    municipality for deposit in the special tax allocation fund.
32        When such redevelopment projects costs, including without
33    limitation  all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
34    project costs incurred under this Division, have  been  paid,
 
                            -8-              LRB9101534PTpkam
 1    all   surplus   funds  then  remaining  in  the  special  tax
 2    allocation fund shall be distributed by  being  paid  by  the
 3    municipal   treasurer  to  the  Department  of  Revenue,  the
 4    municipality  and  the  county  collector;   first   to   the
 5    Department   of   Revenue  and  the  municipality  in  direct
 6    proportion to the tax incremental revenue received  from  the
 7    State  and  the  municipality,  but  not  to exceed the total
 8    incremental  revenue  received  from   the   State   or   the
 9    municipality   less   any   annual  surplus  distribution  of
10    incremental revenue previously made; with any remaining funds
11    to be paid to the  County  Collector  who  shall  immediately
12    thereafter  pay  said  funds  to  the taxing districts in the
13    redevelopment project area in the same manner and  proportion
14    as  the  most  recent distribution by the county collector to
15    the affected districts  of  real  property  taxes  from  real
16    property in the redevelopment project area.
17        Upon  the  payment  of  all  redevelopment project costs,
18    retirement of obligations and the distribution of any  excess
19    monies pursuant to this Section, the municipality shall adopt
20    an  ordinance  dissolving the special tax allocation fund for
21    the  redevelopment   project   area   and   terminating   the
22    designation   of   the   redevelopment   project  area  as  a
23    redevelopment  project  area.   If  a  municipality   extends
24    estimated  dates of completion of a redevelopment project and
25    retirement of obligations to finance a redevelopment project,
26    as allowed by this amendatory Act  of  1993,  that  extension
27    shall  not  extend  the  property  tax  increment  allocation
28    financing  authorized  by this Section.  Thereafter the rates
29    of the taxing districts shall be extended and  taxes  levied,
30    collected  and  distributed  in  the manner applicable in the
31    absence  of  the  adoption  of   tax   increment   allocation
32    financing.
33        Nothing  in  this Section shall be construed as relieving
34    property in  such  redevelopment  project  areas  from  being
 
                            -9-              LRB9101534PTpkam
 1    assessed as provided in the Property Tax Code or as relieving
 2    owners  of such property from paying a uniform rate of taxes,
 3    as required by  Section  4  of  Article  9  of  the  Illinois
 4    Constitution.

 7    becoming law.".
