7    Sec. 2-3.33. Recomputation of claims. To recompute within
83 years from the the final date for filing of a claim any claim

1recomputation of a claim for evidence-based funding for a
2school district shall not require the recomputation of claims
3for all districts, and the State Board of Education shall only
4make recomputations of evidence-based funding for those
5districts where an adjustment is required.
6    Except in the case of an adverse court or administrative
7agency decision, no recomputation of a State aid claim shall
8be made pursuant to this Section as a result of a reduction in
9the assessed valuation of a school district from the assessed
10valuation of the district reported to the State Board of
11Education by the Department of Revenue under Section 18-8.05
12or 18-8.15 of this Code unless the requirements of Section
1316-15 of the Property Tax Code and Section 2-3.84 of this Code
14are complied with in all respects.
15    This paragraph applies to all requests for recomputation
16of a general State aid or evidence-based funding claim
17received after June 30, 2003. In recomputing a general State
18aid or evidence-based funding claim that was originally
19calculated using an extension limitation equalized assessed
20valuation under paragraph (3) of subsection (G) of Section
2118-8.05 of this Code or Section 18-8.15 of this Code, a
22qualifying reduction in equalized assessed valuation shall be
23deducted from the extension limitation equalized assessed
24valuation that was used in calculating the original claim.

26evidence-based funding to be provided to districts,

5funding appropriation in any fiscal year; if necessary,
6amounts shall be prorated among districts. If it is necessary
7to prorate claims under this paragraph, then that portion of
