5 and the aggregate amount of reimbursement for those State
6 mandated categoricals for that school fiscal year was less
7 than 97% of the district's claims as certified by the State
8 Board of Education pursuant to Section 18-21 of the School
9 Code; or
10 (2) the school district did not receive the minimum

15 "Recovered tax increment value" means, except as otherwise
16provided in this paragraph, the amount of the current year's
17equalized assessed value, in the first year after a
18municipality terminates the designation of an area as a

20Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the Illinois
21Municipal Code, previously established under the Industrial
22Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, previously
23established under the Economic Development Project Area Tax
24Increment Act of 1995, or previously established under the
25Economic Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, of each

1redevelopment project area over and above the initial equalized
2assessed value of each property in the redevelopment project
3area. For the taxes which are extended for the 1997 levy year,
4the recovered tax increment value for a non-home rule taxing
5district that first became subject to this Law for the 1995
6levy year because a majority of its 1994 equalized assessed
7value was in an affected county or counties shall be increased
8if a municipality terminated the designation of an area in 1993
9as a redevelopment project area previously established under
10the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the Illinois
11Municipal Code, previously established under the Industrial
12Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, or previously
13established under the Economic Development Area Tax Increment
14Allocation Act, by an amount equal to the 1994 equalized
15assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
16real property in the redevelopment project area over and above
17the initial equalized assessed value of each property in the
18redevelopment project area. In the first year after a
19municipality removes a taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
20real property from a redevelopment project area established
21under the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the
22Illinois Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in
23the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area
24Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
25means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value
26of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property

10100SB0690sam001- 20 -LRB101 04451 HLH 60029 a

2initial equalized assessed value of that real property before
3removal from the redevelopment project area.
4 Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
5rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
6preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one
7plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
8denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
9value of all real property in the territory under the
10jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
11For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
12extension for the last preceding levy year, except for school
13districts that reduced their extension for educational
14purposes pursuant to Section 18-206, the highest aggregate
15extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be
16used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. The
17denominator shall not include new property or the recovered tax
18increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a limiting
19rate increase has been approved at an election held after March
2021, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable limiting rate shall
21be increased by the amount of the new rate or shall be reduced
22by the amount of the rate decrease, as the case may be, or (ii)
23in the case of a limiting rate increase, the limiting rate
24shall be equal to the rate set forth in the proposition
25approved by the voters for each of the years specified in the
26proposition, after which the limiting rate of the taxing

10100SB0690sam001- 21 -LRB101 04451 HLH 60029 a
1district shall be calculated as otherwise provided. In the case
2of a taxing district that obtained referendum approval for an
3increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the limiting rate
4for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that generates the
5approximate total amount of taxes extendable for that tax year,
6as set forth in the proposition approved by the voters; this
7rate shall be the final rate applied by the county clerk for
8the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for tax year
92012.

13 Sec. 18-205. Referendum to increase the extension
14limitation. A taxing district is limited to an extension
15limitation as provided in Section 18-185 of 5% or the
16percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index during the
1712-month calendar year preceding the levy year, whichever is
18less. A taxing district may increase its extension limitation
19for one or more levy years if that taxing district holds a
20referendum before the levy date for the first levy year at
21which a majority of voters voting on the issue approves
22adoption of a higher extension limitation. Referenda shall be
23conducted at a regularly scheduled election in accordance with
24the Election Code. The question shall be presented in

9 the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index over
10 the prior levy year to (insert the percentage of the
11 proposed increase)% per year for (insert each levy year for
12 which the increased extension limitation will apply)?
13The votes must be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
14If a majority of voters voting on the issue approves the

16each levy year specified.
17 The ballot for any question submitted pursuant to this
18Section shall have printed thereon, but not as a part of the
19question submitted, only the following supplemental
20information (which shall be supplied to the election authority
21by the taxing district) in substantially the following form:

23 increased extension limitation will be applicable) levy
24 year the approximate amount of the additional tax
25 extendable against property containing a single family
26 residence and having a fair market value at the time of the

9 district less (B) the new property included in the

14 Paragraph (2) shall be included only if the increased

17limitation will be applicable. The additional tax shown for
18each levy year shall be the approximate dollar amount of the
19increase over the amount of the most recently completed
20extension at the time the submission of the question is
21initiated by the taxing district. The approximate amount of the
22additional tax extendable shown in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall
23be calculated by multiplying $100,000 (the fair market value of
24the property without regard to any property tax exemptions) by
25(i) the percentage level of assessment prescribed for that
26property by statute, or by ordinance of the county board in

10proposed in the question and the (otherwise applicable
11extension limitation under Section 18-185) lesser of 5% or the
12percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for the prior
13levy year (or an estimate of the percentage increase for the
14prior levy year if the increase is unavailable at the time the
15submission of the question is initiated by the taxing
16district); and dividing the result by the last known equalized
17assessed value of the taxing district at the time the
18submission of the question is initiated by the taxing district.
