18    specific  reference to the designating ordinance, which shall
19    be attached thereto, and shall be filed in the office of  the
20    Secretary  of  State. A certified copy of the Enterprise Zone
21    Certificate,  or  a  duplicate  original  thereof,  shall  be
 
                            -2-            LRB9101827PTpkam03
 1    recorded in the office of recorder of deeds of the county  in
 2    which the Enterprise Zone lies.
 3        (b)  An  Enterprise  Zone  shall  be  effective  upon its
 4    certification. The Department shall transmit a  copy  of  the
 5    certification  to  the  Department  of  Revenue,  and  to the
 6    designating municipality or county.
 7        Upon certification of an Enterprise Zone, the  terms  and
 8    provisions  of  the designating ordinance shall be in effect,
 9    and may not be amended or repealed except in accordance  with
10    Section 5.4.
11        (c)  An  Enterprise  Zone  shall  be  in effect for 30 20
12    calendar years, or for a lesser number of years specified  in

14    terminate at midnight of December 31 of  the  final  calendar
15    year  of  the  certified  term, except as provided in Section
16    5.4. In Vermilion County, however, an enterprise  zone  shall

31    economic circumstances as determined by the Department.   The

 6    municipalities  or unincorporated areas of counties that abut
 7    or are contiguous to Enterprise Zones certified  pursuant  to
 8    this  Section  prior  to  June  30,  1989.   The 7 additional

16    located  within  the  same  municipality.  The Department may
17    certify Enterprise Zones in each of  the  10  calendar  years
18    commencing  with  1983.  The  Department may not certify more
19    than a total of 18 Enterprise Zones located within  the  same
20    county    (whether    within    municipalities    or   within
21    unincorporated  territory)  for   the   10   calendar   years
22    commencing  with  1983.  Thereafter,  the  Department may not
23    certify any additional Enterprise Zones, but  may  amend  and
24    rescind   certifications  of  existing  Enterprise  Zones  in
25    accordance with Section 5.4.
26        (e)  Notwithstanding any other provision of law,  if  (i)
27    the  county  board  of any county in which a current military
28    base is located, in part or in whole, or in which a  military
29    base  that  has  been closed within 20 years of the effective
30    date of this amendatory Act of 1998 is located, in part or in
31    whole, adopts a  designating  ordinance  in  accordance  with
32    Section  5 of this Act to designate the military base in that
33    county as an enterprise zone and (ii) the property  otherwise
34    meets the qualifications for an enterprise zone as prescribed
 
                            -4-            LRB9101827PTpkam03

 2    designating ordinance or ordinances, as the case may be.
