9Department's annual fiscal year audits for Fiscal Year 2017,
10Fiscal Year 2018, Fiscal Year 2019, Fiscal Year 2020, and
11Fiscal Year 2021 that annual net lottery proceeds from the
12State Lottery Fund to the Common School Fund exceeded the
13annual net lottery proceeds available to transfer as described
14in subsection (o) of Section 9.1. The excess transfers to the
15Common School Fund during those fiscal years resulted in
16transfers of annual net lottery proceeds to the Capital
17Projects Fund as required by paragraph (4) of subsection (o)
18of Section 9.1 not being sent. The Department had no statutory
19authority to offset future transfers as described in paragraph
20(4) of subsection (a) of Section 9.3 during Fiscal Year 2017,
21Fiscal Year 2018, Fiscal Year 2019, Fiscal Year 2020, or

24discrepancies occurring in Fiscal Year 2017, Fiscal Year 2018,

HB4700 Enrolled- 73 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1reported by the Office of the Auditor General. The Department
2shall accomplish this reconciliation by offsetting its monthly
3transfers to the Common School Fund to recover the resulting
4cash deficit in the State Lottery Fund and separately
5transferring the deficient amounts owed to the Capital
6Projects Fund. All offsets and transfers shall be done in
7accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for
8government entities. The Department shall determine, in
9coordination with the Governor's Office of Management and
10Budget, an appropriate schedule for the offsets and transfers.
11All offsets and transfers shall be completed no later than
12June 30, 2023.
13    (c) The Department is also authorized to reconcile any
14discrepancies that may occur in Fiscal Year 2022, if the
15annual net lottery proceeds transferred from the State Lottery
16Fund to the Common School Fund exceed the annual net lottery
17proceeds available to transfer. The Department shall determine
18whether there were any excess transfers by June 30, 2023. The
19Department shall reconcile any discrepancies by offsetting its
20monthly transfers to the Common School Fund to recover the
21resulting cash deficit in the State Lottery Fund and
22separately transferring the deficient amounts owed to the
23Capital Projects Fund. All offsets and transfers shall be done
24in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting principles.

5    apportioned in the following manner: 51.65% for taxing
6    districts in Cook County and 48.35% for taxing districts
7    in the remainder of the State.
8    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each taxing
9district outside Cook County shall be the ratio which the Tax
10Base of that taxing district bears to the Downstate Tax Base.
11The Tax Base of each taxing district outside of Cook County is
12the personal property tax collections for that taxing district
13for the 1977 tax year. The Downstate Tax Base is the personal
14property tax collections for all taxing districts in the State
15outside of Cook County for the 1977 tax year. The Department of
16Revenue shall have authority to review for accuracy and
17completeness the personal property tax collections for each
18taxing district outside Cook County for the 1977 tax year.
19    The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each Cook
20County taxing district shall be the ratio which the Tax Base of
21that taxing district bears to the Cook County Tax Base. The Tax
22Base of each Cook County taxing district is the personal
23property tax collections for that taxing district for the 1976
24tax year. The Cook County Tax Base is the personal property tax
25collections for all taxing districts in Cook County for the
261976 tax year. The Department of Revenue shall have authority

1to review for accuracy and completeness the personal property
2tax collections for each taxing district within Cook County
3for the 1976 tax year.
4    For all purposes of this Section 12, amounts paid to a
5taxing district for such tax years as may be applicable by a
6foreign corporation under the provisions of Section 7-202 of
7the Public Utilities Act, as amended, shall be deemed to be
8personal property taxes collected by such taxing district for
9such tax years as may be applicable. The Director shall
10determine from the Illinois Commerce Commission, for any tax
11year as may be applicable, the amounts so paid by any such
12foreign corporation to any and all taxing districts. The
13Illinois Commerce Commission shall furnish such information to
14the Director. For all purposes of this Section 12, the
15Director shall deem such amounts to be collected personal
16property taxes of each such taxing district for the applicable
17tax year or years.
18    Taxing districts located both in Cook County and in one or
19more other counties shall receive both a Cook County
20allocation and a Downstate allocation determined in the same
21way as all other taxing districts.
22    If any taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979 ceases
23to exist, or discontinues its operations, its Tax Base shall
24thereafter be deemed to be zero. If the powers, duties and
25obligations of the discontinued taxing district are assumed by
26another taxing district, the Tax Base of the discontinued

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 182 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1taxing district shall be added to the Tax Base of the taxing
2district assuming such powers, duties and obligations.
3    If two or more taxing districts in existence on July 1,
41979, or a successor or successors thereto shall consolidate
5into one taxing district, the Tax Base of such consolidated
6taxing district shall be the sum of the Tax Bases of each of
7the taxing districts which have consolidated.
8    If a single taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979,
9or a successor or successors thereto shall be divided into two
10or more separate taxing districts, the tax base of the taxing
11district so divided shall be allocated to each of the
12resulting taxing districts in proportion to the then current
13equalized assessed value of each resulting taxing district.
14    If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is
15disconnected and annexed to another taxing district of the
16same type, the Tax Base of the taxing district from which
17disconnection was made shall be reduced in proportion to the
18then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected
19territory as compared with the then current equalized assessed
20value within the entire territory of the taxing district prior
21to disconnection, and the amount of such reduction shall be
22added to the Tax Base of the taxing district to which
23annexation is made.
24    If a community college district is created after July 1,
251979, beginning on January 1, 1996 (the effective date of
26Public Act 89-327), its Tax Base shall be 3.5% of the sum of

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 183 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1the personal property tax collected for the 1977 tax year
2within the territorial jurisdiction of the district.
3    The amounts allocated and paid to taxing districts
4pursuant to the provisions of Public Act 81-1st Special
5Session-1 shall be deemed to be substitute revenues for the
6revenues derived from taxes imposed on personal property
7pursuant to the provisions of the "Revenue Act of 1939" or "An
8Act for the assessment and taxation of private car line
9companies", approved July 22, 1943, as amended, or Section 414
10of the Illinois Insurance Code, prior to the abolition of such
11taxes and shall be used for the same purposes as the revenues
12derived from ad valorem taxes on real estate.
13    Monies received by any taxing districts from the Personal
14Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward
15payment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was
16previously levied and collected from extensions against
17personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31, 1978
18and next applied toward payment of the proportionate share of
19the pension or retirement obligations of the taxing district
20which were previously levied and collected from extensions
21against personal property. For each such outstanding bond
22issue, the County Clerk shall determine the percentage of the
23debt service which was collected from extensions against real
24estate in the taxing district for 1978 taxes payable in 1979,
25as related to the total amount of such levies and collections
26from extensions against both real and personal property. For

11979 and subsequent years' taxes, the County Clerk shall levy
2and extend taxes against the real estate of each taxing
3district which will yield the said percentage or percentages
4of the debt service on such outstanding bonds. The balance of
5the amount necessary to fully pay such debt service shall
6constitute a first and prior lien upon the monies received by
7each such taxing district through the Personal Property Tax
8Replacement Fund and shall be first applied or set aside for
9such purpose. In counties having fewer than 3,000,000
10inhabitants, the amendments to this paragraph as made by
11Public Act 81-1255 shall be first applicable to 1980 taxes to
12be collected in 1981.

12its share of the amount apportioned to the several
13municipalities which shall be in proportion to the population
14of such municipalities as determined by the last preceding

10counties having less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall be in
11proportion to the amount of motor vehicle license fees
12received from the residents of such counties, respectively,
13during the preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State
14shall, on or before April 15 of each year, transmit to the
15Department of Transportation a full and complete report
16showing the amount of motor vehicle license fees received from
17the residents of each county, respectively, during the
18preceding calendar year. The Department of Transportation
19shall, each month, use for allotment purposes the last such
20report received from the Secretary of State.
21    As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the
22Department of Transportation shall allot to the several
23counties their share of the amount apportioned for the use of
24road districts. The allotment shall be apportioned among the
25several counties in the State in the proportion which the
26total mileage of township or district roads in the respective

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 223 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1counties bears to the total mileage of all township and
2district roads in the State. Funds allotted to the respective
3counties for the use of road districts therein shall be
4allocated to the several road districts in the county in the
5proportion which the total mileage of such township or
6district roads in the respective road districts bears to the
7total mileage of all such township or district roads in the
8county. After July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation
9shall be made for any road district unless it levied a tax for
10road and bridge purposes in an amount which will require the
11extension of such tax against the taxable property in any such
12road district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the
13value thereof, based upon the assessment for the year
14immediately prior to the year in which such tax was levied and
15as equalized by the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage
16County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of
17road under the jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is
18less. Beginning July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an
19allocation shall be made for any road district if it levied a
20tax for road and bridge purposes. In counties other than
21DuPage County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the
22extension of the tax against the taxable property in the road
23district at a rate that is less than 0.08% of the value
24thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
25prior to the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized
26by the Department of Revenue, then the amount of the

1allocation for that road district shall be a percentage of the
2maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by
3dividing the rate extended by the district by 0.08%. In DuPage
4County, if the amount of the tax levy requires the extension of
5the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
6rate that is less than the lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value of
7the taxable property in the road district, based upon the
8assessment for the year immediately prior to the year in which
9such tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of
10Revenue, or (ii) a rate that will yield an amount equal to
11$12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road
12district, then the amount of the allocation for the road
13district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal
14to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by
15the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or (ii) the rate that
16will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of road under
17the jurisdiction of the road district.
18    Prior to 2011, if any road district has levied a special
19tax for road purposes pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
206-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and such tax was levied in
21an amount which would require extension at a rate of not less
22than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof, as
23equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, or, in
24DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
25mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
26whichever is less, such levy shall, however, be deemed a

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 225 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
2road district for an allotment under this Section. Beginning
3in 2011 and thereafter, if any road district has levied a
4special tax for road purposes under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and
56-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and the tax was levied in
6an amount that would require extension at a rate of not less
7than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property of that road
8district, as equalized or assessed by the Department of
9Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater
10than $12,000 per mile of road under the jurisdiction of the
11road district, whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a
12proper compliance with this Section and shall qualify such
13road district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment
14under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is less
15than 0.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage
16County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser
17of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the
18jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the
19special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge
20purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road
21district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment
22under this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to
23or less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then
24any allotment under this Section shall be determined by the
25other levy for road and bridge purposes.
26    Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road

1and bridge fund money which, when added to the amount of any
2tax levy of the road district would be the equivalent of a tax
3levy requiring extension at a rate of at least .08%, or, in
4DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per
5mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,
6whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax
7levy, shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section
8and shall qualify the road district for an allotment under
9this Section.
10    In counties in which a property tax extension limitation
11is imposed under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law,
12road districts may retain their entitlement to a motor fuel
13tax allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a
14full allotment if, at the time the property tax extension
15limitation was imposed, the road district was levying a road
16and bridge tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor
17fuel tax allotment and continues to levy the maximum allowable
18amount after the imposition of the property tax extension
19limitation. Any road district may in all circumstances retain
20its entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in
212011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road
22and bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of
23the tax against the taxable property in the road district at a
24rate of not less than 0.08% of the assessed value of the
25property, based upon the assessment for the year immediately
26preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized

2equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of road under the
3jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less.
4    As used in this Section, the term "road district" means
5any road district, including a county unit road district,
6provided for by the Illinois Highway Code; and the term
7"township or district road" means any road in the township and
8district road system as defined in the Illinois Highway Code.
9For the purposes of this Section, "township or district road"
10also includes such roads as are maintained by park districts,
11forest preserve districts and conservation districts. The
12Department of Transportation shall determine the mileage of
13all township and district roads for the purposes of making
14allotments and allocations of motor fuel tax funds for use in
15road districts.
16    Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and
17counties shall be made as soon as possible after the allotment
18is made. The treasurer of the municipality or county may
19invest these funds until their use is required and the
20interest earned by these investments shall be limited to the
21same uses as the principal funds.

16    (a) General provisions.
17        (1) The purpose of this Section is to ensure that, by
18    June 30, 2027 and beyond, this State has a kindergarten
19    through grade 12 public education system with the capacity
20    to ensure the educational development of all persons to
21    the limits of their capacities in accordance with Section
22    1 of Article X of the Constitution of the State of
23    Illinois. To accomplish that objective, this Section
24    creates a method of funding public education that is
25    evidence-based; is sufficient to ensure every student

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 261 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    receives a meaningful opportunity to learn irrespective of
2    race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or
3    community-income level; and is sustainable and
4    predictable. When fully funded under this Section, every
5    school shall have the resources, based on what the
6    evidence indicates is needed, to:
7            (A) provide all students with a high quality
8        education that offers the academic, enrichment, social
9        and emotional support, technical, and career-focused
10        programs that will allow them to become competitive
11        workers, responsible parents, productive citizens of
12        this State, and active members of our national
13        democracy;
14            (B) ensure all students receive the education they
15        need to graduate from high school with the skills
16        required to pursue post-secondary education and
17        training for a rewarding career;
18            (C) reduce, with a goal of eliminating, the
19        achievement gap between at-risk and non-at-risk
20        students by raising the performance of at-risk
21        students and not by reducing standards; and
22            (D) ensure this State satisfies its obligation to
23        assume the primary responsibility to fund public
24        education and simultaneously relieve the
25        disproportionate burden placed on local property taxes
26        to fund schools.

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 262 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        (2) The Evidence-Based Funding formula under this
2    Section shall be applied to all Organizational Units in
3    this State. The Evidence-Based Funding formula outlined in
4    this Act is based on the formula outlined in Senate Bill 1
5    of the 100th General Assembly, as passed by both
6    legislative chambers. As further defined and described in
7    this Section, there are 4 major components of the
8    Evidence-Based Funding model:
9            (A) First, the model calculates a unique Adequacy
10        Target for each Organizational Unit in this State that
11        considers the costs to implement research-based
12        activities, the unit's student demographics, and
13        regional wage differences.
14            (B) Second, the model calculates each
15        Organizational Unit's Local Capacity, or the amount
16        each Organizational Unit is assumed to contribute
17        toward its Adequacy Target from local resources.
18            (C) Third, the model calculates how much funding
19        the State currently contributes to the Organizational
20        Unit and adds that to the unit's Local Capacity to
21        determine the unit's overall current adequacy of
22        funding.
23            (D) Finally, the model's distribution method
24        allocates new State funding to those Organizational
25        Units that are least well-funded, considering both
26        Local Capacity and State funding, in relation to their

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 263 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        Adequacy Target.
2        (3) An Organizational Unit receiving any funding under
3    this Section may apply those funds to any fund so received
4    for which that Organizational Unit is authorized to make
5    expenditures by law.
6        (4) As used in this Section, the following terms shall
7    have the meanings ascribed in this paragraph (4):
8        "Adequacy Target" is defined in paragraph (1) of
9    subsection (b) of this Section.
10        "Adjusted EAV" is defined in paragraph (4) of
11    subsection (d) of this Section.
12        "Adjusted Local Capacity Target" is defined in
13    paragraph (3) of subsection (c) of this Section.

22    year only, the assignment of students served by a regional
23    office of education or intermediate service center shall
24    not result in a reduction of the March enrollment for any
25    school district. For the 2020-2021 school year, the ASE
26    must be the greater of the current-year ASE or the 2-year

7    calculation. For fiscal year 2018 only, the ASE
8    calculation shall include only enrollment taken on October
9    1. In recognition of the impact of COVID-19, the
10    definition of "Average Student Enrollment" or "ASE" shall
11    be adjusted for calculations under this Section for fiscal
12    years 2022 through 2024. For fiscal years 2022 through
13    2024, the enrollment used in the calculation of ASE
14    representing the 2020-2021 school year shall be the
15    greater of the enrollment for the 2020-2021 school year or

7        In the second and subsequent years of implementation
8    of Evidence-Based Funding, the amounts in items (i) and
9    (ii) of this paragraph (3) shall annually increase by the
10    ECI.
11        The salary amounts for the Essential Elements
12    determined pursuant to subparagraphs (A) through (L), (S)
13    and (T), and (V) through (X) of paragraph (2) of
14    subsection (b) of this Section shall be multiplied by a
15    Regionalization Factor.
16    (c) Local Capacity calculation.
17        (1) Each Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
18    represents an amount of funding it is assumed to
19    contribute toward its Adequacy Target for purposes of the
20    Evidence-Based Funding formula calculation. "Local
21    Capacity" means either (i) the Organizational Unit's Local
22    Capacity Target as calculated in accordance with paragraph
23    (2) of this subsection (c) if its Real Receipts are equal
24    to or less than its Local Capacity Target or (ii) the
25    Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity, as
26    calculated in accordance with paragraph (3) of this

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 296 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    subsection (c) if Real Receipts are more than its Local
2    Capacity Target.
3        (2) "Local Capacity Target" means, for an
4    Organizational Unit, that dollar amount that is obtained
5    by multiplying its Adequacy Target by its Local Capacity
6    Ratio.
7            (A) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity
8        Percentage is the conversion of the Organizational
9        Unit's Local Capacity Ratio, as such ratio is
10        determined in accordance with subparagraph (B) of this
11        paragraph (2), into a cumulative distribution
12        resulting in a percentile ranking to determine each
13        Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
14        Organizational Units in this State. The calculation of
15        Local Capacity Percentage is described in subparagraph
16        (C) of this paragraph (2).
17            (B) An Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio
18        in a given year is the percentage obtained by dividing
19        its Adjusted EAV or PTELL EAV, whichever is less, by
20        its Adequacy Target, with the resulting ratio further
21        adjusted as follows:
22                (i) for Organizational Units serving grades
23            kindergarten through 12 and Hybrid Districts, no
24            further adjustments shall be made;
25                (ii) for Organizational Units serving grades
26            kindergarten through 8, the ratio shall be

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 297 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1            multiplied by 9/13;
2                (iii) for Organizational Units serving grades
3            9 through 12, the Local Capacity Ratio shall be
4            multiplied by 4/13; and
5                (iv) for an Organizational Unit with a
6            different grade configuration than those specified
7            in items (i) through (iii) of this subparagraph
8            (B), the State Superintendent shall determine a
9            comparable adjustment based on the grades served.
10            (C) The Local Capacity Percentage is equal to the
11        percentile ranking of the district. Local Capacity
12        Percentage converts each Organizational Unit's Local
13        Capacity Ratio to a cumulative distribution resulting
14        in a percentile ranking to determine each
15        Organizational Unit's relative position to all other
16        Organizational Units in this State. The Local Capacity
17        Percentage cumulative distribution resulting in a
18        percentile ranking for each Organizational Unit shall
19        be calculated using the standard normal distribution
20        of the score in relation to the weighted mean and
21        weighted standard deviation and Local Capacity Ratios
22        of all Organizational Units. If the value assigned to
23        any Organizational Unit is in excess of 90%, the value
24        shall be adjusted to 90%. For Laboratory Schools, the
25        Local Capacity Percentage shall be set at 10% in
26        recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 298 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        the public university that are allocated to the
2        Laboratory School. For programs operated by a regional
3        office of education or an intermediate service center,
4        the Local Capacity Percentage must be set at 10% in
5        recognition of the absence of EAV and resources from
6        school districts that are allocated to the regional
7        office of education or intermediate service center.
8        The weighted mean for the Local Capacity Percentage
9        shall be determined by multiplying each Organizational
10        Unit's Local Capacity Ratio times the ASE for the unit
11        creating a weighted value, summing the weighted values
12        of all Organizational Units, and dividing by the total
13        ASE of all Organizational Units. The weighted standard
14        deviation shall be determined by taking the square
15        root of the weighted variance of all Organizational
16        Units' Local Capacity Ratio, where the variance is
17        calculated by squaring the difference between each
18        unit's Local Capacity Ratio and the weighted mean,
19        then multiplying the variance for each unit times the
20        ASE for the unit to create a weighted variance for each
21        unit, then summing all units' weighted variance and
22        dividing by the total ASE of all units.
23            (D) For any Organizational Unit, the
24        Organizational Unit's Adjusted Local Capacity Target
25        shall be reduced by either (i) the school board's
26        remaining contribution pursuant to paragraph (ii) of

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 299 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        subsection (b-4) of Section 16-158 of the Illinois

3        education's remaining contribution pursuant to
4        paragraph (iv) of subsection (b) of Section 17-129 of
5        the Illinois Pension Code absent the employer normal
6        cost portion of the required contribution and amount
7        allowed pursuant to subdivision (3) of Section
8        17-142.1 of the Illinois Pension Code in a given year.
9        In the preceding sentence, item (i) shall be certified
10        to the State Board of Education by the Teachers'
11        Retirement System of the State of Illinois and item
12        (ii) shall be certified to the State Board of
13        Education by the Public School Teachers' Pension and
14        Retirement Fund of the City of Chicago.
15        (3) If an Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are more
16    than its Local Capacity Target, then its Local Capacity
17    shall equal an Adjusted Local Capacity Target as
18    calculated in accordance with this paragraph (3). The
19    Adjusted Local Capacity Target is calculated as the sum of
20    the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target and its
21    Real Receipts Adjustment. The Real Receipts Adjustment
22    equals the Organizational Unit's Real Receipts less its
23    Local Capacity Target, with the resulting figure
24    multiplied by the Local Capacity Percentage.
25        As used in this paragraph (3), "Real Percent of
26    Adequacy" means the sum of an Organizational Unit's Real

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 300 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    Receipts, CPPRT, and Base Funding Minimum, with the
2    resulting figure divided by the Organizational Unit's
3    Adequacy Target.
4    (d) Calculation of Real Receipts, EAV, and Adjusted EAV
5for purposes of the Local Capacity calculation.
6        (1) An Organizational Unit's Real Receipts are the
7    product of its Applicable Tax Rate and its Adjusted EAV.
8    An Organizational Unit's Applicable Tax Rate is its
9    Adjusted Operating Tax Rate for property within the
10    Organizational Unit.
11        (2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
12    equalized assessed valuation, or EAV, of all taxable
13    property of each Organizational Unit as of September 30 of
14    the previous year in accordance with paragraph (3) of this
15    subsection (d). The State Superintendent shall then
16    determine the Adjusted EAV of each Organizational Unit in
17    accordance with paragraph (4) of this subsection (d),
18    which Adjusted EAV figure shall be used for the purposes
19    of calculating Local Capacity.
20        (3) To calculate Real Receipts and EAV, the Department
21    of Revenue shall supply to the State Superintendent the
22    value as equalized or assessed by the Department of
23    Revenue of all taxable property of every Organizational
24    Unit, together with (i) the applicable tax rate used in
25    extending taxes for the funds of the Organizational Unit
26    as of September 30 of the previous year and (ii) the

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 301 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    limiting rate for all Organizational Units subject to
2    property tax extension limitations as imposed under PTELL.
3            (A) The Department of Revenue shall add to the
4        equalized assessed value of all taxable property of
5        each Organizational Unit situated entirely or
6        partially within a county that is or was subject to the
7        provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
8        Tax Code (i) an amount equal to the total amount by
9        which the homestead exemption allowed under Section
10        15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code for real
11        property situated in that Organizational Unit exceeds
12        the total amount that would have been allowed in that
13        Organizational Unit if the maximum reduction under
14        Section 15-176 was (I) $4,500 in Cook County or $3,500
15        in all other counties in tax year 2003 or (II) $5,000
16        in all counties in tax year 2004 and thereafter and
17        (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount for the
18        taxable year of all additional exemptions under
19        Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
20        with a household income of $30,000 or less. The county
21        clerk of any county that is or was subject to the
22        provisions of Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property
23        Tax Code shall annually calculate and certify to the
24        Department of Revenue for each Organizational Unit all
25        homestead exemption amounts under Section 15-176 or
26        15-177 of the Property Tax Code and all amounts of

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 302 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        additional exemptions under Section 15-175 of the
2        Property Tax Code for owners with a household income
3        of $30,000 or less. It is the intent of this
4        subparagraph (A) that if the general homestead
5        exemption for a parcel of property is determined under
6        Section 15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code
7        rather than Section 15-175, then the calculation of
8        EAV shall not be affected by the difference, if any,
9        between the amount of the general homestead exemption
10        allowed for that parcel of property under Section
11        15-176 or 15-177 of the Property Tax Code and the
12        amount that would have been allowed had the general
13        homestead exemption for that parcel of property been
14        determined under Section 15-175 of the Property Tax
15        Code. It is further the intent of this subparagraph
16        (A) that if additional exemptions are allowed under
17        Section 15-175 of the Property Tax Code for owners
18        with a household income of less than $30,000, then the
19        calculation of EAV shall not be affected by the
20        difference, if any, because of those additional
21        exemptions.
22            (B) With respect to any part of an Organizational
23        Unit within a redevelopment project area in respect to
24        which a municipality has adopted tax increment
25        allocation financing pursuant to the Tax Increment
26        Allocation Redevelopment Act, Division 74.4 of Article

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 303 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        11 of the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Industrial
2        Jobs Recovery Law, Division 74.6 of Article 11 of the
3        Illinois Municipal Code, no part of the current EAV of
4        real property located in any such project area that is
5        attributable to an increase above the total initial
6        EAV of such property shall be used as part of the EAV
7        of the Organizational Unit, until such time as all
8        redevelopment project costs have been paid, as
9        provided in Section 11-74.4-8 of the Tax Increment
10        Allocation Redevelopment Act or in Section 11-74.6-35
11        of the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law. For the purpose
12        of the EAV of the Organizational Unit, the total
13        initial EAV or the current EAV, whichever is lower,
14        shall be used until such time as all redevelopment
15        project costs have been paid.
16            (B-5) The real property equalized assessed
17        valuation for a school district shall be adjusted by
18        subtracting from the real property value, as equalized
19        or assessed by the Department of Revenue, for the
20        district an amount computed by dividing the amount of
21        any abatement of taxes under Section 18-170 of the
22        Property Tax Code by 3.00% for a district maintaining
23        grades kindergarten through 12, by 2.30% for a
24        district maintaining grades kindergarten through 8, or
25        by 1.05% for a district maintaining grades 9 through
26        12 and adjusted by an amount computed by dividing the

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 304 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        amount of any abatement of taxes under subsection (a)
2        of Section 18-165 of the Property Tax Code by the same
3        percentage rates for district type as specified in
4        this subparagraph (B-5).
5            (C) For Organizational Units that are Hybrid
6        Districts, the State Superintendent shall use the
7        lesser of the adjusted equalized assessed valuation
8        for property within the partial elementary unit
9        district for elementary purposes, as defined in
10        Article 11E of this Code, or the adjusted equalized
11        assessed valuation for property within the partial
12        elementary unit district for high school purposes, as
13        defined in Article 11E of this Code.
14        (4) An Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV shall be the
15    average of its EAV over the immediately preceding 3 years
16    or its EAV in the immediately preceding year if the EAV in
17    the immediately preceding year has declined by 10% or more
18    compared to the 3-year average. In the event of
19    Organizational Unit reorganization, consolidation, or
20    annexation, the Organizational Unit's Adjusted EAV for the
21    first 3 years after such change shall be as follows: the
22    most current EAV shall be used in the first year, the
23    average of a 2-year EAV or its EAV in the immediately
24    preceding year if the EAV declines by 10% or more compared
25    to the 2-year average for the second year, and a 3-year
26    average EAV or its EAV in the immediately preceding year

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 305 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    if the Adjusted EAV declines by 10% or more compared to the
2    3-year average for the third year. For any school district
3    whose EAV in the immediately preceding year is used in
4    calculations, in the following year, the Adjusted EAV
5    shall be the average of its EAV over the immediately
6    preceding 2 years or the immediately preceding year if
7    that year represents a decline of 10% or more compared to
8    the 2-year average.
9        "PTELL EAV" means a figure calculated by the State
10    Board for Organizational Units subject to PTELL as
11    described in this paragraph (4) for the purposes of
12    calculating an Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Ratio.
13    Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (4), the
14    PTELL EAV of an Organizational Unit shall be equal to the
15    product of the equalized assessed valuation last used in
16    the calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05
17    of this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding
18    under this Section and the Organizational Unit's Extension
19    Limitation Ratio. If an Organizational Unit has approved
20    or does approve an increase in its limiting rate, pursuant
21    to Section 18-190 of the Property Tax Code, affecting the
22    Base Tax Year, the PTELL EAV shall be equal to the product
23    of the equalized assessed valuation last used in the
24    calculation of general State aid under Section 18-8.05 of
25    this Code (now repealed) or Evidence-Based Funding under
26    this Section multiplied by an amount equal to one plus the

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 306 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    percentage increase, if any, in the Consumer Price Index
2    for All Urban Consumers for all items published by the
3    United States Department of Labor for the 12-month
4    calendar year preceding the Base Tax Year, plus the
5    equalized assessed valuation of new property, annexed
6    property, and recovered tax increment value and minus the
7    equalized assessed valuation of disconnected property.
8        As used in this paragraph (4), "new property" and
9    "recovered tax increment value" shall have the meanings
10    set forth in the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
11    (e) Base Funding Minimum calculation.
12        (1) For the 2017-2018 school year, the Base Funding
13    Minimum of an Organizational Unit or a Specially Funded
14    Unit shall be the amount of State funds distributed to the
15    Organizational Unit or Specially Funded Unit during the
16    2016-2017 school year prior to any adjustments and
17    specified appropriation amounts described in this
18    paragraph (1) from the following Sections, as calculated
19    by the State Superintendent: Section 18-8.05 of this Code
20    (now repealed); Section 5 of Article 224 of Public Act
21    99-524 (equity grants); Section 14-7.02b of this Code
22    (funding for children requiring special education
23    services); Section 14-13.01 of this Code (special
24    education facilities and staffing), except for
25    reimbursement of the cost of transportation pursuant to
26    Section 14-13.01; Section 14C-12 of this Code (English

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 307 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    learners); and Section 18-4.3 of this Code (summer
2    school), based on an appropriation level of $13,121,600.
3    For a school district organized under Article 34 of this
4    Code, the Base Funding Minimum also includes (i) the funds
5    allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
6    of this Code attributable to funding programs authorized
7    by the Sections of this Code listed in the preceding
8    sentence and (ii) the difference between (I) the funds
9    allocated to the school district pursuant to Section 1D-1
10    of this Code attributable to the funding programs
11    authorized by Section 14-7.02 (non-public special
12    education reimbursement), subsection (b) of Section
13    14-13.01 (special education transportation), Section 29-5
14    (transportation), Section 2-3.80 (agricultural
15    education), Section 2-3.66 (truants' alternative
16    education), Section 2-3.62 (educational service centers),
17    and Section 14-7.03 (special education - orphanage) of
18    this Code and Section 15 of the Childhood Hunger Relief
19    Act (free breakfast program) and (II) the school
20    district's actual expenditures for its non-public special
21    education, special education transportation,
22    transportation programs, agricultural education, truants'
23    alternative education, services that would otherwise be
24    performed by a regional office of education, special
25    education orphanage expenditures, and free breakfast, as
26    most recently calculated and reported pursuant to

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 308 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    subsection (f) of Section 1D-1 of this Code. The Base
2    Funding Minimum for Glenwood Academy shall be $625,500.
3    For programs operated by a regional office of education or
4    an intermediate service center, the Base Funding Minimum
5    must be the total amount of State funds allocated to those
6    programs in the 2018-2019 school year and amounts provided
7    pursuant to Article 34 of Public Act 100-586 and Section
8    3-16 of this Code. All programs established after June 5,
9    2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-10) and
10    administered by a regional office of education or an
11    intermediate service center must have an initial Base
12    Funding Minimum set to an amount equal to the first-year
13    ASE multiplied by the amount of per pupil funding received
14    in the previous school year by the lowest funded similar
15    existing program type. If the enrollment for a program
16    operated by a regional office of education or an
17    intermediate service center is zero, then it may not
18    receive Base Funding Minimum funds for that program in the
19    next fiscal year, and those funds must be distributed to
20    Organizational Units under subsection (g).
21        (2) For the 2018-2019 and subsequent school years, the
22    Base Funding Minimum of Organizational Units and Specially
23    Funded Units shall be the sum of (i) the amount of
24    Evidence-Based Funding for the prior school year, (ii) the
25    Base Funding Minimum for the prior school year, and (iii)
26    any amount received by a school district pursuant to

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 309 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    Section 7 of Article 97 of Public Act 100-21.
2        For the 2022-2023 school year, the Base Funding
3    Minimum of Organizational Units shall be the amounts
4    recalculated by the State Board of Education for Fiscal
5    Year 2019 through Fiscal Year 2022 that were necessary due
6    to average student enrollment errors for districts
7    organized under Article 34 of this Code, plus the Fiscal
8    Year 2022 property tax relief grants provided under
9    Section 2-3.170 of this Code, ensuring each Organizational
10    Unit has the correct amount of resources for Fiscal Year
11    2023 Evidence-Based Funding calculations and that Fiscal
12    Year 2023 Evidence-Based Funding Distributions are made in
13    accordance with this Section.
14        (3) Subject to approval by the General Assembly as
15    provided in this paragraph (3), an Organizational Unit
16    that meets all of the following criteria, as determined by
17    the State Board, shall have District Intervention Money
18    added to its Base Funding Minimum at the time the Base
19    Funding Minimum is calculated by the State Board:
20            (A) The Organizational Unit is operating under an
21        Independent Authority under Section 2-3.25f-5 of this
22        Code for a minimum of 4 school years or is subject to
23        the control of the State Board pursuant to a court
24        order for a minimum of 4 school years.
25            (B) The Organizational Unit was designated as a
26        Tier 1 or Tier 2 Organizational Unit in the previous

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 310 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        school year under paragraph (3) of subsection (g) of
2        this Section.
3            (C) The Organizational Unit demonstrates
4        sustainability through a 5-year financial and
5        strategic plan.
6            (D) The Organizational Unit has made sufficient
7        progress and achieved sufficient stability in the
8        areas of governance, academic growth, and finances.
9        As part of its determination under this paragraph (3),
10    the State Board may consider the Organizational Unit's
11    summative designation, any accreditations of the
12    Organizational Unit, or the Organizational Unit's
13    financial profile, as calculated by the State Board.
14        If the State Board determines that an Organizational
15    Unit has met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3),
16    it must submit a report to the General Assembly, no later
17    than January 2 of the fiscal year in which the State Board
18    makes it determination, on the amount of District
19    Intervention Money to add to the Organizational Unit's
20    Base Funding Minimum. The General Assembly must review the
21    State Board's report and may approve or disapprove, by
22    joint resolution, the addition of District Intervention
23    Money. If the General Assembly fails to act on the report
24    within 40 calendar days from the receipt of the report,
25    the addition of District Intervention Money is deemed
26    approved. If the General Assembly approves the amount of

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 311 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    District Intervention Money to be added to the
2    Organizational Unit's Base Funding Minimum, the District
3    Intervention Money must be added to the Base Funding
4    Minimum annually thereafter.
5        For the first 4 years following the initial year that
6    the State Board determines that an Organizational Unit has
7    met the criteria set forth in this paragraph (3) and has
8    received funding under this Section, the Organizational
9    Unit must annually submit to the State Board, on or before
10    November 30, a progress report regarding its financial and
11    strategic plan under subparagraph (C) of this paragraph
12    (3). The plan shall include the financial data from the
13    past 4 annual financial reports or financial audits that
14    must be presented to the State Board by November 15 of each
15    year and the approved budget financial data for the
16    current year. The plan shall be developed according to the
17    guidelines presented to the Organizational Unit by the
18    State Board. The plan shall further include financial
19    projections for the next 3 fiscal years and include a
20    discussion and financial summary of the Organizational
21    Unit's facility needs. If the Organizational Unit does not
22    demonstrate sufficient progress toward its 5-year plan or
23    if it has failed to file an annual financial report, an
24    annual budget, a financial plan, a deficit reduction plan,
25    or other financial information as required by law, the
26    State Board may establish a Financial Oversight Panel

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 312 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    under Article 1H of this Code. However, if the
2    Organizational Unit already has a Financial Oversight
3    Panel, the State Board may extend the duration of the
4    Panel.
5    (f) Percent of Adequacy and Final Resources calculation.
6        (1) The Evidence-Based Funding formula establishes a
7    Percent of Adequacy for each Organizational Unit in order
8    to place such units into tiers for the purposes of the
9    funding distribution system described in subsection (g) of
10    this Section. Initially, an Organizational Unit's
11    Preliminary Resources and Preliminary Percent of Adequacy
12    are calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of this
13    subsection (f). Then, an Organizational Unit's Final
14    Resources and Final Percent of Adequacy are calculated to
15    account for the Organizational Unit's poverty
16    concentration levels pursuant to paragraphs (3) and (4) of
17    this subsection (f).
18        (2) An Organizational Unit's Preliminary Resources are
19    equal to the sum of its Local Capacity Target, CPPRT, and
20    Base Funding Minimum. An Organizational Unit's Preliminary
21    Percent of Adequacy is the lesser of (i) its Preliminary
22    Resources divided by its Adequacy Target or (ii) 100%.
23        (3) Except for Specially Funded Units, an
24    Organizational Unit's Final Resources are equal to the sum
25    of its Local Capacity, CPPRT, and Adjusted Base Funding
26    Minimum. The Base Funding Minimum of each Specially Funded

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 313 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    Unit shall serve as its Final Resources, except that the
2    Base Funding Minimum for State-approved charter schools
3    shall not include any portion of general State aid
4    allocated in the prior year based on the per capita
5    tuition charge times the charter school enrollment.
6        (4) An Organizational Unit's Final Percent of Adequacy
7    is its Final Resources divided by its Adequacy Target. An
8    Organizational Unit's Adjusted Base Funding Minimum is
9    equal to its Base Funding Minimum less its Supplemental
10    Grant Funding, with the resulting figure added to the
11    product of its Supplemental Grant Funding and Preliminary
12    Percent of Adequacy.
13    (g) Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system.
14        (1) In each school year under the Evidence-Based
15    Funding formula, each Organizational Unit receives funding
16    equal to the sum of its Base Funding Minimum and the unit's
17    allocation of New State Funds determined pursuant to this
18    subsection (g). To allocate New State Funds, the
19    Evidence-Based Funding formula distribution system first
20    places all Organizational Units into one of 4 tiers in
21    accordance with paragraph (3) of this subsection (g),
22    based on the Organizational Unit's Final Percent of
23    Adequacy. New State Funds are allocated to each of the 4
24    tiers as follows: Tier 1 Aggregate Funding equals 50% of
25    all New State Funds, Tier 2 Aggregate Funding equals 49%
26    of all New State Funds, Tier 3 Aggregate Funding equals

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 314 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    0.9% of all New State Funds, and Tier 4 Aggregate Funding
2    equals 0.1% of all New State Funds. Each Organizational
3    Unit within Tier 1 or Tier 2 receives an allocation of New
4    State Funds equal to its tier Funding Gap, as defined in
5    the following sentence, multiplied by the tier's
6    Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4) of
7    this subsection (g). For Tier 1, an Organizational Unit's
8    Funding Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as specified
9    in paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
10    Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
11    amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
12    Resources. For Tier 2, an Organizational Unit's Funding
13    Gap equals the tier's Target Ratio, as described in
14    paragraph (5) of this subsection (g), multiplied by the
15    Organizational Unit's Adequacy Target, with the resulting
16    amount reduced by the Organizational Unit's Final
17    Resources and its Tier 1 funding allocation. To determine
18    the Organizational Unit's Funding Gap, the resulting
19    amount is then multiplied by a factor equal to one minus
20    the Organizational Unit's Local Capacity Target
21    percentage. Each Organizational Unit within Tier 3 or Tier
22    4 receives an allocation of New State Funds equal to the
23    product of its Adequacy Target and the tier's Allocation
24    Rate, as specified in paragraph (4) of this subsection
25    (g).
26        (2) To ensure equitable distribution of dollars for

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 315 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    all Tier 2 Organizational Units, no Tier 2 Organizational
2    Unit shall receive fewer dollars per ASE than any Tier 3
3    Organizational Unit. Each Tier 2 and Tier 3 Organizational
4    Unit shall have its funding allocation divided by its ASE.
5    Any Tier 2 Organizational Unit with a funding allocation
6    per ASE below the greatest Tier 3 allocation per ASE shall
7    get a funding allocation equal to the greatest Tier 3
8    funding allocation per ASE multiplied by the
9    Organizational Unit's ASE. Each Tier 2 Organizational
10    Unit's Tier 2 funding allocation shall be multiplied by
11    the percentage calculated by dividing the original Tier 2
12    Aggregate Funding by the sum of all Tier 2 Organizational
13    Units' Tier 2 funding allocation after adjusting
14    districts' funding below Tier 3 levels.
15        (3) Organizational Units are placed into one of 4
16    tiers as follows:
17            (A) Tier 1 consists of all Organizational Units,
18        except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
19        Adequacy less than the Tier 1 Target Ratio. The Tier 1
20        Target Ratio is the ratio level that allows for Tier 1
21        Aggregate Funding to be distributed, with the Tier 1
22        Allocation Rate determined pursuant to paragraph (4)
23        of this subsection (g).
24            (B) Tier 2 consists of all Tier 1 Units and all
25        other Organizational Units, except for Specially
26        Funded Units, with a Percent of Adequacy of less than

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 316 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        0.90.
2            (C) Tier 3 consists of all Organizational Units,
3        except for Specially Funded Units, with a Percent of
4        Adequacy of at least 0.90 and less than 1.0.
5            (D) Tier 4 consists of all Organizational Units
6        with a Percent of Adequacy of at least 1.0.
7        (4) The Allocation Rates for Tiers 1 through 4 are
8    determined as follows:
9            (A) The Tier 1 Allocation Rate is 30%.
10            (B) The Tier 2 Allocation Rate is the result of the
11        following equation: Tier 2 Aggregate Funding, divided
12        by the sum of the Funding Gaps for all Tier 2
13        Organizational Units, unless the result of such
14        equation is higher than 1.0. If the result of such
15        equation is higher than 1.0, then the Tier 2
16        Allocation Rate is 1.0.
17            (C) The Tier 3 Allocation Rate is the result of the
18        following equation: Tier 3 Aggregate Funding, divided
19        by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 3
20        Organizational Units.
21            (D) The Tier 4 Allocation Rate is the result of the
22        following equation: Tier 4 Aggregate Funding, divided
23        by the sum of the Adequacy Targets of all Tier 4
24        Organizational Units.
25        (5) A tier's Target Ratio is determined as follows:
26            (A) The Tier 1 Target Ratio is the ratio level that

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 317 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        allows for Tier 1 Aggregate Funding to be distributed
2        with the Tier 1 Allocation Rate.
3            (B) The Tier 2 Target Ratio is 0.90.
4            (C) The Tier 3 Target Ratio is 1.0.
5        (6) If, at any point, the Tier 1 Target Ratio is
6    greater than 90%, then all Tier 1 funding shall be
7    allocated to Tier 2 and no Tier 1 Organizational Unit's
8    funding may be identified.
9        (7) In the event that all Tier 2 Organizational Units
10    receive funding at the Tier 2 Target Ratio level, any
11    remaining New State Funds shall be allocated to Tier 3 and
12    Tier 4 Organizational Units.
13        (8) If any Specially Funded Units, excluding Glenwood
14    Academy, recognized by the State Board do not qualify for
15    direct funding following the implementation of Public Act
16    100-465 from any of the funding sources included within
17    the definition of Base Funding Minimum, the unqualified
18    portion of the Base Funding Minimum shall be transferred
19    to one or more appropriate Organizational Units as
20    determined by the State Superintendent based on the prior
21    year ASE of the Organizational Units.
22        (8.5) If a school district withdraws from a special
23    education cooperative, the portion of the Base Funding
24    Minimum that is attributable to the school district may be
25    redistributed to the school district upon withdrawal. The
26    school district and the cooperative must include the

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 318 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    amount of the Base Funding Minimum that is to be
2    reapportioned in their withdrawal agreement and notify the
3    State Board of the change with a copy of the agreement upon
4    withdrawal.
5        (9) The Minimum Funding Level is intended to establish
6    a target for State funding that will keep pace with
7    inflation and continue to advance equity through the
8    Evidence-Based Funding formula. The target for State
9    funding of New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds is
10    $50,000,000 for State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent
11    State fiscal years. The Minimum Funding Level is equal to
12    $350,000,000. In addition to any New State Funds, no more
13    than $50,000,000 New Property Tax Relief Pool Funds may be
14    counted toward the Minimum Funding Level. If the sum of
15    New State Funds and applicable New Property Tax Relief
16    Pool Funds are less than the Minimum Funding Level, than
17    funding for tiers shall be reduced in the following
18    manner:
19            (A) First, Tier 4 funding shall be reduced by an
20        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
21        Funding Level and New State Funds until such time as
22        Tier 4 funding is exhausted.
23            (B) Next, Tier 3 funding shall be reduced by an
24        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
25        Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
26        Tier 4 funding until such time as Tier 3 funding is

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 319 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1        exhausted.
2            (C) Next, Tier 2 funding shall be reduced by an
3        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
4        Funding Level and New State Funds and the reduction in
5        Tier 4 and Tier 3.
6            (D) Finally, Tier 1 funding shall be reduced by an
7        amount equal to the difference between the Minimum
8        Funding level and New State Funds and the reduction in
9        Tier 2, 3, and 4 funding. In addition, the Allocation
10        Rate for Tier 1 shall be reduced to a percentage equal
11        to the Tier 1 Allocation Rate set by paragraph (4) of
12        this subsection (g), multiplied by the result of New
13        State Funds divided by the Minimum Funding Level.
14        (9.5) For State fiscal year 2019 and subsequent State
15    fiscal years, if New State Funds exceed $300,000,000, then
16    any amount in excess of $300,000,000 shall be dedicated
17    for purposes of Section 2-3.170 of this Code up to a
18    maximum of $50,000,000.
19        (10) In the event of a decrease in the amount of the
20    appropriation for this Section in any fiscal year after
21    implementation of this Section, the Organizational Units
22    receiving Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding, as determined under
23    paragraph (3) of this subsection (g), shall be held
24    harmless by establishing a Base Funding Guarantee equal to
25    the per pupil kindergarten through grade 12 funding
26    received in accordance with this Section in the prior

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 320 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    fiscal year. Reductions shall be made to the Base Funding
2    Minimum of Organizational Units in Tier 3 and Tier 4 on a
3    per pupil basis equivalent to the total number of the ASE
4    in Tier 3-funded and Tier 4-funded Organizational Units
5    divided by the total reduction in State funding. The Base
6    Funding Minimum as reduced shall continue to be applied to
7    Tier 3 and Tier 4 Organizational Units and adjusted by the
8    relative formula when increases in appropriations for this
9    Section resume. In no event may State funding reductions
10    to Organizational Units in Tier 3 or Tier 4 exceed an
11    amount that would be less than the Base Funding Minimum
12    established in the first year of implementation of this
13    Section. If additional reductions are required, all school
14    districts shall receive a reduction by a per pupil amount
15    equal to the aggregate additional appropriation reduction
16    divided by the total ASE of all Organizational Units.
17        (11) The State Superintendent shall make minor
18    adjustments to the distribution formula set forth in this
19    subsection (g) to account for the rounding of percentages
20    to the nearest tenth of a percentage and dollar amounts to
21    the nearest whole dollar.
22    (h) State Superintendent administration of funding and
23district submission requirements.
24        (1) The State Superintendent shall, in accordance with
25    appropriations made by the General Assembly, meet the
26    funding obligations created under this Section.

1        (2) The State Superintendent shall calculate the
2    Adequacy Target for each Organizational Unit and Net State
3    Contribution Target for each Organizational Unit under
4    this Section. No Evidence-Based Funding shall be
5    distributed within an Organizational Unit without the
6    approval of the unit's school board.
7        (3) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
8    and report to each Organizational Unit the unit's
9    aggregate financial adequacy amount, which shall be the
10    sum of the Adequacy Target for each Organizational Unit.
11    The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
12    separately for each Organizational Unit the unit's total
13    State funds allocated for its students with disabilities.
14    The State Superintendent shall calculate and report
15    separately for each Organizational Unit the amount of
16    funding and applicable FTE calculated for each Essential
17    Element of the unit's Adequacy Target.
18        (4) Annually, the State Superintendent shall calculate
19    and report to each Organizational Unit the amount the unit
20    must expend on special education and bilingual education
21    and computer technology and equipment for Organizational
22    Units assigned to Tier 1 or Tier 2 that received an
23    additional $285.50 per student computer technology and
24    equipment investment grant to their Adequacy Target
25    pursuant to the unit's Base Funding Minimum, Special
26    Education Allocation, Bilingual Education Allocation, and

 

 

HB4700 Enrolled- 322 -LRB102 24222 KTG 33451 b

1    computer technology and equipment investment allocation.
2        (5) Moneys distributed under this Section shall be
3    calculated on a school year basis, but paid on a fiscal
4    year basis, with payments beginning in August and
5    extending through June. Unless otherwise provided, the
6    moneys appropriated for each fiscal year shall be
7    distributed in 22 equal payments at least 2 times monthly
8    to each Organizational Unit. If moneys appropriated for
9    any fiscal year are distributed other than monthly, the
10    distribution shall be on the same basis for each
11    Organizational Unit.
12        (6) Any school district that fails, for any given
13    school year, to maintain school as required by law or to
14    maintain a recognized school is not eligible to receive
15    Evidence-Based Funding. In case of non-recognition of one
16    or more attendance centers in a school district otherwise
17    operating recognized schools, the claim of the district
18    shall be reduced in the proportion that the enrollment in
19    the attendance center or centers bears to the enrollment
20    of the school district. "Recognized school" means any
21    public school that meets the standards for recognition by
22    the State Board. A school district or attendance center
23    not having recognition status at the end of a school term
24    is entitled to receive State aid payments due upon a legal
25    claim that was filed while it was recognized.
26        (7) School district claims filed under this Section

15for issuance of the MDDP, installation of the breath alcohol
16ignition installation device (BAIID), as provided in this
17Section, exemption from BAIID installation requirements, and

22notice shall also be sent to the court of venue together with
23the notice of suspension of driving privileges, as provided in
24subsection (h) of Section 11-501. However, a MDDP shall not be
