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

                          ARTICLE 5

    Section 5-1. Short title. This Article may  be  cited  as
the Municipal Validation Law of 2002.

    Section   5-5.  Redevelopment  actions;  validation.  All
actions taken before the effective date of this  Law  by  any
municipality   pursuant   to  the  Tax  Increment  Allocation
Redevelopment Act for purposes of approving  a  redevelopment
plan  and  redevelopment project, designating a redevelopment
project area, and adopting tax increment allocation financing
are validated, ratified, and confirmed as  valid  actions  in
full  force  and  effect  as  of  the date of adoption of the
ordinance of the  municipality  approving  the  redevelopment
plan   and   project,   notwithstanding   that  an  ordinance
designating the redevelopment project area was not adopted on
that date and an ordinance adopting tax increment  allocation
financing  was  not  adopted  on that date, provided that, no
later than 180 days after the effective date of this Law, the
governing  body  of  the  municipality  adopts  an  ordinance
designating the redevelopment project area and  an  ordinance
adopting   tax   increment   allocation   financing  for  the
redevelopment project area.

    Section 5-10.  Election  validation.  All  actions  taken
before  the  effective  date  of  this  Law with respect to a
public  question  authorizing   the   issuance   of   general
obligation  bonds of a municipality that was submitted to and
approved by the electors of that municipality at the  general
primary  election held on March 19, 2002 and all bonds issued
or to  be  issued  by  that  municipality  pursuant  to  that
approval  are  ratified,  validated,  and confirmed as lawful
actions to authorize the issuance of those bonds and any such
bonds shall be lawful, valid, and binding general obligations
of that municipality,  notwithstanding  that  the  notice  of
election  and  the  form  of  public question approved by the
electors at that election did not conform to the requirements
of applicable law, provided that the notice of  election  and
the public question did set forth the principal amount of the
bonds  and  the  capital  improvements  to be financed by the
bonds and that no bond issued by virtue of  the  approval  of
the  public  question shall bear interest at a rate exceeding
7% per annum.

                         ARTICLE 10

    Section 10-1. Short title. This Article may be  cited  as
the  Maywood  Public  Library  District  Tax  Levy Validation
(2002) Law.

    Section 10-5. Tax levy ordinances of the  Maywood  Public
Library District. If the Maywood Public Library District has,
during  the  fiscal  years  2001  and  2002,  within the time
required by law adopted annual appropriation  ordinances  for
those years but failed to adopt its annual tax levy ordinance
for  the  tax year 2001 (collectible in 2002), but adopts its
2001 tax levy or a supplemental or deficiency 2001 tax  levy,
or both, by the last Tuesday of December 2002, and duly files
the  same  with  the  county clerk of the county in which the
district is located, then any such tax  levy  ordinances  and
supplemental  or  deficiency tax levy ordinance and the taxes
assessed, levied, and extended thereon are  hereby  validated
notwithstanding  any  failure  to  comply  with  the Truth in
Taxation Law or the Cook County Truth  in  Taxation  Law  and
further  notwithstanding  any  failure  to  comply  with  the
provisions  of  the  Property Tax Extension Limitation Law or
any other law. No 2001 tax levy or supplemental or deficiency
levy, however, is validated  to  the  extent  it  would  have
exceeded  the  maximum  amount the district could have levied
under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law  if  the  tax
levy  ordinance  or supplemental or deficiency levy ordinance
had been adopted and filed in due time in calendar year 2001.
Any such tax levy or supplemental or deficiency levy shall be
extended by the county clerk  of  the  county  in  which  the
public  library  district  is located by adding the amount of
the 2001 tax levy or supplemental or deficiency levy  to  the
district's  validly  enacted  2002  tax  levy,  regardless of
whether that 2001 tax levy is in  the  form  of  a  customary
annual  tax  levy  or  in  the  form  of  a  supplemental  or
deficiency  tax  levy. Moreover, if the district has received
any tax revenue for the calendar year 2001 intended  for  the
payment of principal and interest on outstanding bonds of the
district and the district has used any portion or all of that
tax  revenue for normal operating expenses, that use of those
funds is hereby validated if the district issues  either  tax
anticipation warrants or notes to provide funds sufficient to
replace  that  bond revenue used for operating expenses prior
to default on any bond payments;  further,  the  use  of  the
proceeds  of  the issuance of those notes or warrants to make
the bond payments when due is further hereby validated.

    Section 10-905. The  Property  Tax  Code  is  amended  by
adding Sections 18-92, 18-101.47, and 18-197 as follows:

    (35 ILCS 200/18-92 new)

District Tax Levy Validation (2002) Law.

    (35 ILCS 200/18-101.47 new)
