Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Township Code.

Provides that no township that has certified a new general assistance levy or an increase in the levy in the previous calendar year (rather than during 2002) may transfer monies from the general assistance fund. Effective immediately

House Floor Amendment No. 3
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Township Code. Provides that the township board of Gray Township in White County may approve transfers of monies from the township's general assistance fund to the general township fund no later than one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act if: (1) the township receives no State funding for the general assistance program; (2) the township has not issued anticipation warrants or otherwise borrowed monies for the administration of the general assistance program during the township's previous 3 fiscal years of operation; (3) the amount of monies remaining in the general assistance fund after the transfer is equal to the greater of (i) the amount of the township's expenditures in the previous fiscal year for general assistance or (ii) an amount equal to either 0.10% of the last known total equalized value of all taxable property in the township, or 100% of the highest amount levied for general assistance purposes in any of the three previous fiscal years; and (4) the township that has not certified a new levy or an increase in the levy under this Section during calendar year 2015. Further provides that no monies transferred under this subsection shall be considered in determining whether the township qualifies for State funds to supplement local funds for public aid purposes. Effective January 1, 2016.
