| 9 | | (a) The provisions of this Section do not apply to a taxing | 10 | | district
subject
to this Law because a majority of its 1990 | 11 | | equalized assessed value is in a
county or counties contiguous | 12 | | to a county of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, or
because a | 13 | | majority of its 1994 equalized assessed value is in an affected
| 14 | | county and the taxing district was not subject to this Law | 15 | | before the 1995 levy
year.
| 16 | | (b) The county board of a county that is not subject to | 17 | | this Law
may, by ordinance or resolution, submit to the voters | 18 | | of the
county the question of whether to
make all non-home rule | 19 | | taxing districts
that
have all or a portion of their equalized | 20 | | assessed valuation
situated in the county subject to this Law | 21 | | in the manner set forth in this
Section.
| 22 | | For purposes of this Section only:

| | | HB3230 | - 2 - | LRB100 09064 AWJ 19213 b |

| 2 | | "Equalized
assessed valuation" means the equalized | 3 | | assessed valuation for a taxing
district for the immediately | 4 | | preceding levy year.
| 5 | | (b-5) A resident of a county that is not subject to this | 6 | | Law may, through a petition and referendum, submit to the | 7 | | voters of the county the question of whether to make all | 8 | | non-home rule taxing districts that have all or a portion of | 9 | | their equalized assessed valuation situated in the county | 10 | | subject to this Law in the manner set forth in this Section. | 11 | | A petition filed with the clerk or secretary shall be | 12 | | signed by electors numbering the greater of (i) 7.5% of the | 13 | | registered voters in the governmental unit, or (ii) 200 of | 14 | | those registered voters or 15% of those registered voters, | 15 | | whichever is less, asking that all non-home rule taxing | 16 | | districts that have all or a portion of their equalized | 17 | | assessed valuation situated in the county become subject to the | 18 | | Property Tax Extension Limitation Law be submitted to | 19 | | referendum, the clerk or secretary shall certify such question | 20 | | for submission at an election held in accordance with the | 21 | | general election law. | 22 | | (c) The ordinance or resolution shall request the | 23 | | submission of
the
proposition at any election, except a | 24 | | consolidated primary election, for the
purpose of voting for or | 25 | | against making the Property

that have all

| | | HB3230 | - 3 - | LRB100 09064 AWJ 19213 b |
|
| 1 | | or a
portion of their equalized assessed valuation situated in | 2 | | the county.
| 3 | | The question shall be placed on a separate
ballot and shall | 4 | | be in substantially the following form:
| 5 | | Shall the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (35 | 6 | | ILCS 200/18-185 through
18-245), which
limits annual | 7 | | property tax extension increases, apply to non-home
rule | 8 | | taxing
districts with all or a portion of their equalized | 9 | | assessed valuation located
in
(name of county)?
| 10 | | Votes on the question shall be recorded as "yes" or "no".
| 11 | | (d) The county clerk
shall order the proposition submitted | 12 | | to the electors of the county
at the election specified in the | 13 | | ordinance or resolution.
If part of the county is under the | 14 | | jurisdiction of
a board or boards of election commissioners, | 15 | | the county clerk
shall submit a certified copy of
the ordinance | 16 | | or resolution to each board of election commissioners,
which | 17 | | shall order the
proposition submitted to the electors of the | 18 | | taxing district within its
jurisdiction at the election | 19 | | specified in the ordinance or resolution.
| 20 | | (e) (1) With respect to taxing districts having all of | 21 | | their equalized
assessed
valuation located in the county, | 22 | | if a majority of the votes cast on the
proposition are in | 23 | | favor of the proposition, then this Law becomes applicable
| 24 | | to the taxing district beginning on January 1 of the year | 25 | | following the date of
the referendum.
| 26 | | (2) With respect to taxing districts that meet all the |
| | | HB3230 | - 4 - | LRB100 09064 AWJ 19213 b |
|
| 1 | | following
conditions this Law shall become applicable to | 2 | | the taxing district beginning
on January 1, 1997. The | 3 | | districts to which this paragraph (2) is applicable
| 4 | | (A) do not have all of their equalized assessed | 5 | | valuation located in a
single county,
| 6 | | (B) have equalized assessed valuation in an | 7 | | affected county,
| 8 | | (C) meet the condition that each county, other than | 9 | | an affected county,
in which any of the equalized | 10 | | assessed valuation of the taxing district is
located | 11 | | has held a referendum under this Section at any | 12 | | election, except a
consolidated primary election, held | 13 | | prior to the effective date of this
amendatory Act of | 14 | | 1997, and
| 15 | | (D) have a majority of the district's equalized | 16 | | assessed valuation
located in one or more counties in | 17 | | each of which the voters have approved a
referendum | 18 | | under this Section prior to the effective date of this | 19 | | amendatory
Act of 1997.
For purposes of this Section, | 20 | | in determining whether a majority of the
equalized | 21 | | assessed valuation of the taxing district is located in | 22 | | one or more
counties in which the voters have approved | 23 | | a referendum under this Section, the
equalized | 24 | | assessed valuation of the taxing district in any | 25 | | affected county
shall be included with the equalized | 26 | | assessed value of the taxing district in
counties in |
| | | HB3230 | - 5 - | LRB100 09064 AWJ 19213 b |
|
| 1 | | which the voters have approved the referendum.
| 2 | | (3) With respect to taxing districts that do not have | 3 | | all of
their equalized
assessed valuation located in a | 4 | | single county and to which paragraph (2) of
subsection (e) | 5 | | is not applicable, if each county other than an
affected | 6 | | county in which any of
the equalized assessed valuation of | 7 | | the taxing
district is located has held a referendum under | 8 | | this Section at any election,
except a consolidated primary | 9 | | election, held in any year and if a majority of
the | 10 | | equalized
assessed valuation of the taxing district is | 11 | | located in one or more counties
that have each approved a | 12 | | referendum under this Section,
then this Law shall become | 13 | | applicable to the taxing district on
January 1 of the year | 14 | | following the year in which the last referendum in a
county | 15 | | in which the taxing district has any equalized assessed | 16 | | valuation is
held.
For the purposes of this Law, the last | 17 | | referendum shall be deemed to be the
referendum making this | 18 | | Law applicable to the taxing district. For purposes
of this | 19 | | Section, in determining whether a majority of the equalized | 20 | | assessed
valuation of the taxing district is located in one | 21 | | or more counties that have
approved a referendum under this | 22 | | Section, the equalized assessed valuation of
the taxing | 23 | | district in any affected county shall be included with the | 24 | | equalized
assessed value of the taxing district in counties | 25 | | that have approved the
referendum.
| 26 | | (f) Immediately after a referendum is held under this |
| | | HB3230 | - 6 - | LRB100 09064 AWJ 19213 b |
|
| 1 | | Section, the county
clerk of the
county holding the referendum | 2 | | shall give notice of the referendum having been
held and its | 3 | | results to all taxing districts that have all
or a portion of | 4 | | their equalized assessed valuation located in the county, the
| 5 | | county clerk of any other county in which any of the equalized | 6 | | assessed
valuation of any taxing district is located, and the | 7 | | Department of Revenue.
After the last referendum affecting a | 8 | | multi-county taxing district is held, the
Department of Revenue
| 9 | | shall determine whether the taxing district is subject to this | 10 | | Law
and, if so, shall notify the taxing district and the county | 11 | | clerks of all of
the
counties in which a portion of the | 12 | | equalized assessed valuation of the
taxing district is located | 13 | | that, beginning the following January 1, the
taxing
district is | 14 | | subject to this Law.
For each taxing district subject to | 15 | | paragraph (2) of subsection (e) of this
Section, the Department | 16 | | of Revenue shall notify the taxing district and the
county | 17 | | clerks of all of the counties in which a portion of the | 18 | | equalized
assessed valuation of the taxing district is located | 19 | | that, beginning January 1,
1997, the taxing district is subject | 20 | | to this Law.
| 21 | | (g) Referenda held under this Section shall be conducted in | 22 | | accordance with
the Election Code.
