Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

The school board of any district desiring to levy and accumulate for not more than 6 years the capital improvements purposes tax provided for in paragraph (4) of Section 17-2 of this Act shall pass a resolution for the levy of said tax, and in such resolution shall describe the capital improvements for which the tax is to be levied and the funds derived therefrom are to be spent. As used in this Section and in paragraph (4) of Section 17-2, capital improvements include but are not limited to the construction of a new school building or buildings or the purchase of school grounds on which any new school building is to be constructed or located, or both. The resolution shall cause the proposition for the levy of the tax provided for in paragraph (4) of Section 17-2 of this Act to be certified to the proper election authorities for submission to the electors of the district at a regular scheduled election in accordance with the general election law. The proposition shall generally describe the capital improvements for which the tax is to be levied and the funds derived therefrom are to be spent.
    If the proposition is approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon, the school district may thereafter levy such capital improvement purposes tax and accumulate funds for not more than 6 years for the capital improvements described in the resolution and on the ballot. Such school district shall also invest such accumulated funds until spent for the capital improvements described in the resolution and on the ballot in accordance with the provisions of the Public Funds Investment Act.
