    AN ACT  to  amend  the  Property  Tax  Code  by  changing
Sections 20-130 and 20-140.

    Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section 5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by  changing
Sections 20-130 and 20-140 as follows:

    (35 ILCS 200/20-130)
    Sec.  20-130.   Distribution of taxes in counties of less
than 3,000,000; return of erroneous distribution.
    (a)  All distributions of taxes  collected  and  interest
earned thereon by a county on behalf of taxing districts must
be  made  by the county treasurer, in counties with less than
3,000,000 inhabitants, within 30 days after the due date  and
at  30  days  intervals  thereafter,  unless the amount to be
distributed is less than  $5.   The  county  treasurer  shall
distribute the taxes collected at the next 30-day interval if
the  taxes  collected are $5 or more.  If the tax collections
for a taxing district are less  than  $5  for  3  consecutive
30-day  intervals,  the  county treasurer shall automatically
distribute  the  taxes  collected  to  the  unit   of   local
government   on   the  third  30-day  interval.   The  county
treasurer  shall  determine   the   manner   in   which   all
distributions  under this Section are to be made.  The manner
of distribution may include, but is not limited to, check  or
electronic funds transfer.
    (b)  Notwithstanding  any other law to the contrary, if a
county makes an erroneous distribution of taxes collected and
interest earned thereon, upon majority vote of the  governing
board  of  the  taxing  district  that received the erroneous
distribution, the taxing district shall return the  funds  to
the county treasurer.

or  electronic  funds  transfer.  Taxes collected in counties
with less than  3,000,000  inhabitants  and  not  distributed
