| 6 | | (55 ILCS 5/5-25010) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-25010)
| 7 | | Sec. 5-25010. Annual tax levy. The county board of any | 8 | | county which
has established and is maintaining a county or | 9 | | multiple-county health

not to | 12 | | exceed .1% of the value plus the additional tax, if | 13 | | applicable,
provided for in Section 5-23002, or plus the | 14 | | additional tax, if applicable,
provided for in Section 5.3 of | 15 | | "An Act to provide for the creation and
management of | 16 | | tuberculosis sanitarium districts", approved May 21, 1937, as | 17 | | now
or hereafter amended, as equalized or assessed by the | 18 | | Department of Revenue, of
all taxable property of the county, | 19 | | which tax shall be levied and collected in
like manner as | 20 | | general county taxes and shall be paid (except as provided in
| 21 | | Section 5-25011) into the county treasury and held in the | 22 | | County Health Fund

Where there is a county health department, the |
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |
|
| 1 | | County Health Fund
shall be drawn upon by the proper officers | 2 | | of the county upon the

there is a multiple-county | 4 | | health department, the County Health Fund
shall be drawn upon | 5 | | by the treasurer of the board of health of the
multiple-county | 6 | | health department. In counties maintaining single county
| 7 | | health departments, each county board shall appropriate from | 8 | | the County
Health Fund such sums of money as may be sufficient | 9 | | to fund the approved
budget of the county health department, | 10 | | so long as those sums have been set out
in the annual budget | 11 | | submitted to the county board by the county board
of health and | 12 | | that annual budget has been approved by the county board.
In | 13 | | counties with a population between 700,000 and 3,000,000, the | 14 | | county board
chairman has the power to veto or reduce any line | 15 | | item in the appropriation
ordinance for the county or | 16 | | multiple-county health
department as provided in Section | 17 | | 5-1014.5.
Each county board of counties participating in the | 18 | | maintenance of a
multiple-county health department shall | 19 | | appropriate from the County
Health Fund and shall authorize | 20 | | the county treasurer to release
quarterly or more often to the | 21 | | treasurer of the board of health of the
multiple-county health | 22 | | department such sums of money as are in
accordance with the | 23 | | budget submitted by the multiple-county board of
health and | 24 | | approved by the county board of each of the participating
| 25 | | counties as may be necessary to pay its agreed share for the | 26 | | maintenance
of the multiple-county health department. The |
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |

requests | 5 | | with estimates of anticipated receipts and expenditures for | 6 | | the
period for which sums of money are requested and with | 7 | | statements of
receipts and expenditures for the preceding | 8 | | period. In addition, that
treasurer shall support the requests | 9 | | to the annual budget submitted by
the multiple-county public | 10 | | health board and approved by the county board
of each of the | 11 | | participating counties. No payment may be made from a
County | 12 | | Health Fund except on the basis of a budget item in a budget
| 13 | | submitted by the appropriate public health board and approved | 14 | | by the
county board or boards concerned; however, amended or | 15 | | supplemental
budgets may be submitted and approved and thereby | 16 | | be the basis for such
a payment.

| 18 | | Section 10. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | 19 | | changing Sections 8-3-1, 8-4-1, and 8-4-25 as follows:
| 20 | | (65 ILCS 5/8-3-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-3-1)
| 21 | | Sec. 8-3-1.
The corporate authorities may levy and collect | 22 | | taxes for
corporate purposes. They shall do this in the | 23 | | following manner:
| 24 | | On or before the last Tuesday in December in each year,
the |
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 4 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |
|
| 1 | | corporate authorities shall ascertain the total amount of
| 2 | | appropriations legally made or budgeted for and any amount | 3 | | deemed
necessary to defray additional expenses and liabilities | 4 | | for all
corporate purposes to be provided for by the tax levy | 5 | | of that year.
Then, by an ordinance specifying in detail in the | 6 | | manner authorized for
the annual appropriation ordinance or | 7 | | budget of the municipality, the
purposes for which the | 8 | | appropriations, budgeting or such additional
amounts deemed | 9 | | necessary have been made and the amount assignable for
each | 10 | | purpose respectively, the corporate authorities shall levy | 11 | | upon all
property subject to taxation within the municipality | 12 | | as that property is
assessed and equalized for state and | 13 | | county purposes for the current
year.
| 14 | | A certified copy of this ordinance shall be filed with the | 15 | | county
clerk of the proper county. He shall ascertain the rate | 16 | | per cent which,
upon the value of all property subject to | 17 | | taxation within the
municipality, as that property is assessed | 18 | | or equalized by the
Department of Revenue, will produce a net | 19 | | amount of not
less than the total amount so directed to be | 20 | | levied. The county clerk
shall extend this tax in a separate | 21 | | column upon the books of the
collector of state and county | 22 | | taxes within the municipality.
| 23 | | However, in ascertaining the rate per cent in | 24 | | municipalities having a
population of 500,000 or more, the | 25 | | county clerk shall not add to the
amount of the tax so levied | 26 | | for any purpose any amount to cover the loss
and cost of |
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 5 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |
|
| 1 | | collecting the tax, except in the case of amounts levied for
| 2 | | the payment of bonded indebtedness, or interest thereon, and | 3 | | in the case
of amounts levied for the purposes of pension | 4 | | funds.
| 5 | | Where the corporate limits of a municipality lie partly in | 6 | | 2 or more
counties, the corporate authorities shall ascertain | 7 | | the total amount of
all taxable property lying within the | 8 | | corporate limits of that
municipality in each county, as the | 9 | | property is assessed or
equalized by the Department of Revenue | 10 | | for the current year, and
shall certify the amount of taxable | 11 | | property in each county within that
municipality under the | 12 | | seal of the municipality, to the county clerk of
the county | 13 | | where the seat of government of the municipality is situated.
| 14 | | That county clerk shall ascertain the rate per cent which, | 15 | | upon the
total valuation of all property subject to taxation | 16 | | within that
municipality, ascertained as provided in this | 17 | | Section, will produce a
net amount not less than the total | 18 | | amount directed to be levied. As soon
as that rate per cent is | 19 | | ascertained, that clerk shall certify the rate
per cent under | 20 | | his signature and seal of office to the county clerk of each
| 21 | | other county wherein a portion of that municipality is | 22 | | situated. A
county clerk to whom a rate per cent is certified | 23 | | shall extend the tax
in a separate column upon the books of the | 24 | | collector of state and county
taxes for his county against all | 25 | | property in his county within the
limits of that municipality.
| 26 | | But in municipalities with 500,000 or more inhabitants, |
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 6 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |
|
| 1 | | the aggregate
amount of taxes so levied exclusive of the | 2 | | amount levied for the payment
of bonded indebtedness, or | 3 | | interest thereon, and exclusive of taxes
levied for the | 4 | | payment of judgments, for which a special tax is
authorized by | 5 | | law, and exclusive of the amounts levied for the purposes
of | 6 | | pension funds, working cash fund, public library, municipal
| 7 | | tuberculosis sanitarium, the propagation and preservation of | 8 | | community
trees, and exclusive of taxes levied pursuant to | 9 | | Section 19 of the
Illinois Emergency Services and Disaster | 10 | | Agency Act of 1975 and for the
general assistance for needy | 11 | | persons lawfully resident therein, shall not
exceed the | 12 | | estimated amount of taxes to be levied for each year for the
| 13 | | purposes specified in Sections 8-2-2 through 8-2-5 and set | 14 | | forth in its
annual appropriation ordinance and in any | 15 | | supplemental appropriation
ordinance authorized by law for | 16 | | that year.
| 17 | | In municipalities with less than 500,000 inhabitants, the | 18 | | aggregate
amount of taxes so levied for any one year, | 19 | | exclusive of the amount
levied for the payment of bonded | 20 | | indebtedness, or interest thereon, and
exclusive of taxes | 21 | | levied pursuant to Section 13 of the Illinois Civil
Defense | 22 | | Act of 1951 and exclusive of taxes authorized by this Code or | 23 | | other
Acts which by their terms provide that those taxes shall | 24 | | be in addition to
taxes for general purposes authorized under | 25 | | this Section, shall not exceed
the rate of .25%, or the rate | 26 | | limit in effect on July 1, 1967, whichever is

|
| 1 | | permanent basis, upon the aggregate valuation of all
property | 2 | | within the municipality subject to taxation therein, as the
| 3 | | property is equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue | 4 | | for the
current year. However, if the maximum rate of such | 5 | | municipality for general
corporate purposes is less than .20% | 6 | | on July 1, 1967, the corporate
authorities may, without | 7 | | referendum, increase such maximum rate not to
exceed .25%; but | 8 | | such maximum rate shall not be raised by more than 1/2 of
such | 9 | | increase in any one year.
| 10 | | However, if the corporate authorities of a municipality | 11 | | with less
than 500,000 inhabitants desire to levy in any one | 12 | | year more than .25%,
or the rate limit in effect on July 1, | 13 | | 1967, whichever is greater, and
on a permanent basis, but not | 14 | | more than .4375% for general corporate
purposes, exclusive of | 15 | | the amount levied for the payment of bonded
indebtedness, or | 16 | | interest thereon, and exclusive of taxes authorized by
this | 17 | | Code or other Acts which by their terms provide that those | 18 | | taxes
shall be in addition to taxes for general purposes | 19 | | authorized under this
Section the corporate authorities, by | 20 | | ordinance, stating the per cent
so desired, may order a | 21 | | proposition for the additional amount to be
submitted to the | 22 | | electors of that municipality at any election. The clerk
shall | 23 | | certify the proposition to the proper election authority who | 24 | | shall
submit the question to the electors at such election. If | 25 | | a majority of the
votes cast on the proposition are in favor of | 26 | | the proposition, the
corporate authorities of that |
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 8 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |
|
| 1 | | municipality may levy annually for general
corporate purposes, | 2 | | exclusive of the amount levied for the payment of
bonded | 3 | | indebtedness, or interest thereon, and exclusive of taxes | 4 | | authorized
by this Code or other Acts which by their terms | 5 | | provide that those taxes
are in addition to taxes for general | 6 | | purposes authorized under this
Section a tax in excess of | 7 | | .25%, or the rate in effect on July 1, 1967,
whichever is | 8 | | greater, and on a permanent basis, but not exceeding the per
| 9 | | cent mentioned in the proposition.
| 10 | | Any municipality voting after August 1, 1969, to increase | 11 | | its rate
limitation for general corporate purposes under this | 12 | | Section shall
establish such increased rate limitation on an | 13 | | ongoing basis unless
otherwise changed by referendum.
| 14 | | In municipalities that are not home rule units, any funds | 15 | | on hand at the
end of the fiscal year, which funds are not | 16 | | pledged for or allocated to a
particular purpose, may by | 17 | | action of the corporate authorities be
transferred to the | 18 | | capital improvement fund and accumulated therein, but
the | 19 | | total amount accumulated in such fund may not exceed 3% of the
| 20 | | aggregate assessed valuation of all taxable property in the | 21 | | municipality.

| 21 | | Sec. 8-4-25.
Subject to the requirements of the Bond Issue | 22 | | Notification

85% of the specific taxes levied for | 25 | | the year during which and for which
such notes are issued, |
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 13 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |
|
| 1 | | provided no notes shall be issued in lieu of tax
warrants for | 2 | | any tax at any time there are outstanding tax anticipation

bear interest at a rate not to exceed the maximum | 5 | | rate authorized by the
Bond Authorization Act, as amended at | 6 | | the time of the making of the
contract, if issued before | 7 | | January 1, 1972 and not more than the maximum
rate authorized | 8 | | by the Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of
the | 9 | | making of the contract, if issued after January 1, 1972 and | 10 | | shall
mature within two years from date. The first interest | 11 | | payment date on any
such notes shall not be earlier than the | 12 | | delinquency date of the first
installment of taxes levied to | 13 | | pay interest and principal of such notes.
Notes may be issued | 14 | | for taxes levied for the following purposes:
| 15 | | (a) Corporate.

| 18 | | (d) Public Library for Buildings and Sites.
| 19 | | (e) Blank. Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium.
| 20 | | (f) Relief (General Assistance).
| 21 | | In order to authorize and issue such notes, the corporate | 22 | | authorities
shall adopt an ordinance fixing the amount of the | 23 | | notes, the date
thereof, the maturity, rate of interest, place | 24 | | of payment and
denomination, which shall be in equal multiples | 25 | | of $1,000, and provide
for the levy and collection of a direct | 26 | | annual tax upon all the taxable
property in the municipality |
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 14 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |
|
| 1 | | sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on such notes | 2 | | as the same becomes due.
| 3 | | A certified copy of the ordinance authorizing the issuance | 4 | | of the
notes shall be filed in the office of the County Clerk | 5 | | of the county in
which the municipality is located, or if the | 6 | | municipality lies partly
within two or more counties, a | 7 | | certified copy of the ordinance
authorizing such notes shall | 8 | | be filed with the County Clerk of each of
the respective | 9 | | counties, and it shall be the duty of the County Clerk,
or | 10 | | County Clerks, whichever the case may be, to extend the tax | 11 | | therefor
in addition to and in excess of all other taxes | 12 | | heretofore or hereafter
authorized to be levied by such | 13 | | municipality.
| 14 | | From and after any such notes have been issued and while | 15 | | such notes
are outstanding, it shall be the duty of the County | 16 | | Clerk or County
Clerks, whichever the case may be, in | 17 | | computing the tax rate for the
purpose for which the notes have | 18 | | been issued to reduce the tax rate
levied for such purpose by | 19 | | the amount levied to pay the principal of and
interest on the | 20 | | notes to maturity, provided the tax rate shall not be
reduced | 21 | | beyond the amount necessary to reimburse any money borrowed | 22 | | from
the working cash fund, and it shall be the duty of the | 23 | | Clerk of the
municipality annually, not less than thirty (30) | 24 | | days prior to the tax
extension date, to certify to the County | 25 | | Clerk, or County Clerks,
whichever the case may be, the amount | 26 | | of money borrowed from the working
cash fund to be reimbursed |
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 15 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |
|
| 1 | | from the specific tax levy.
| 2 | | No reimbursement shall be made to the working cash fund | 3 | | until there
has been accumulated from the tax levy provided | 4 | | for the notes an amount
sufficient to pay the principal of and | 5 | | interest on such notes as the
same become due.
| 6 | | With respect to instruments for the payment of money | 7 | | issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the | 8 | | effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always | 9 | | has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the | 10 | | Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been supplementary
| 11 | | grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the | 12 | | Omnibus Bond
Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act | 13 | | that may appear to be or to
have been more restrictive than | 14 | | those Acts, (ii) that the provisions of
this Section are not a | 15 | | limitation on the supplementary authority granted by
the | 16 | | Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments issued under | 17 | | this Section
within the supplementary authority granted by the | 18 | | Omnibus Bond Acts are not
invalid because of any provision of | 19 | | this Act that may appear to be or to

| 3 | | (70 ILCS 920/1) (from Ch. 23, par. 1701)
| 4 | | Sec. 1.
Any area of contiguous territory lying wholly | 5 | | within one
county but entirely outside the corporate limits of | 6 | | any city or village
which has adopted Division 29 of Article 11 | 7 | | of the "Illinois Municipal
Code", approved May 29, 1961, as | 8 | | amended, may be incorporated as a
tuberculosis sanitarium | 9 | | district in the following manner, to wit:
| 10 | | Any 100 legal voters residing within the limits of such | 11 | | proposed
district may petition the circuit court for the | 12 | | county in which such
proposed district lies, to cause the | 13 | | question to be submitted to the
legal voters of such proposed | 14 | | district whether or not it shall be
organized as a | 15 | | tuberculosis sanitarium district under this Act. Such
petition | 16 | | shall be addressed to the court and shall contain a definite
| 17 | | description of the territory intended to be embraced in such | 18 | | district,
and the name of such district. Upon the filing of | 19 | | such petition in the office
of the clerk of the court of the | 20 | | county in which such territory is situated,
it shall be the | 21 | | duty of such court to fix a day and hour for the public
| 22 | | consideration thereof, which shall not be less than 15 days | 23 | | after the filing
of such petition. Such court shall cause a | 24 | | notice of the time and place
of such public consideration to be |

|
| 1 | | published 3 successive days in some newspaper
having a general | 2 | | circulation in the territory proposed to be placed in such
| 3 | | district. The date of the last publication of such notice | 4 | | shall not be less
than 5 days prior to the time set for such | 5 | | public hearing. At the time
and place fixed for such
public | 6 | | hearing the court shall sit and hear any resident or person | 7 | | owning property
in such proposed district who desires to be | 8 | | heard, and if the court
finds that all of the provisions of | 9 | | this Act have been complied with, it
shall cause to be entered | 10 | | of record, an order
fixing and defining
the boundaries and the | 11 | | name of such proposed district in accordance with
the prayer | 12 | | of the petition. In the event that any other petition or
| 13 | | petitions for the organization of a tuberculosis sanitarium | 14 | | district or
districts in the same county shall be filed under | 15 | | this Act before the
time fixed for the public hearing of the | 16 | | first petition, the court shall
postpone the public | 17 | | consideration of the first petition so that the
hearing of all | 18 | | said petitions shall be set for the same day and hour.
| 19 | | Should 2 or more petitions be filed under this Act and come | 20 | | on for
hearing at the same time and it shall be found by the | 21 | | court that any of
the territory embraced in any one of said | 22 | | petitions is included in or
contiguous with the territory | 23 | | embraced in any other petition or
petitions, the court may | 24 | | include all of the territory described in such
petitions in | 25 | | one district and shall fix the name proposed in the
petition | 26 | | first filed as the name for said district. After the entry of
|
| | | SB0102 Engrossed | - 18 - | LRB102 00016 AWJ 10017 b |
|
| 1 | | the order fixing and defining the boundaries and the name of | 2 | | such
proposed district, it shall be the duty of the clerk of | 3 | | the circuit court
to certify the order and the proposition to | 4 | | the proper election officials,
who shall submit the | 5 | | proposition to the voters at an election in accordance
with | 6 | | the general election law. In addition to the requirements of | 7 | | the general
election law, the notice of the referendum shall | 8 | | contain a definite description
of the territory intended to be | 9 | | embraced in such district, and the name
of such district.
