The extent of fiscal impact on local governments cannot be determined.State Mandates Fiscal Note (S-AM 1 & 2) (Illinois Community College System) Under the State Mandates Act, a "State Mandate" means any State-initiated statutory or executive action that requires a unit of local government to establish, expand, or modify its activities in such a way as to necessitate additional expenditures from local revenues. Each community college is considered a unit of local government. Joliet Junior College receives operating revenues from local property taxes. This legislation provides that the State will compensate units of local government for property taxes that would have been collected before the State purchased the land in Will County for the development of an airport. The taxes paid by the State through 2010 will not exceed the assessment made in 2001. The amount that the State is able to pay toward the property taxes can be no more than is generated in leases. There is no estimate on the amount that Joliet Junior College may or may not lose with the transfer of this land to the State for development of an airport. State Mandates Fiscal Note (Illinois State Board of Education) This legislation does not constitute a State Mandate. 2/19/2003SenateFiled with Secretary by Sen. Ira I.
