AN ACT concerning local government.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Rescue Squad Districts Act is amended by |
changing Section 11 as follows:
|
(70 ILCS 2005/11) (from Ch. 85, par. 6861)
|
Sec. 11. Property tax; fees. |
(a) A rescue squad district organized under
this Act may |
levy and collect a general tax on the
property situated in the |
district, but the aggregate amount of taxes
levied for any one |
year shall not exceed the rate of .20%
of value, as
equalized |
or assessed by the Department of Revenue. The
board of |
trustees shall determine and certify the amount to be levied
|
and shall return the same to the county clerk.
The limitation |
upon the tax rate may be increased or decreased
under the |
referendum provisions of the General Revenue Law of Illinois.
|
In case the district is located in more than one county, |
the board of
trustees shall determine and certify the amount |
to be levied upon the
taxable property lying in each county and |
return the same to the
respective county clerks of the |
counties in which the amount is to be
levied. In order to |
determine the amount to be levied upon the taxable
property of |
that part of the district lying in each county, the board
shall |
|
ascertain from the county clerk of the respective counties in
|
which the district lies the last ascertained equalized value |
of the
taxable property of the district lying in their |
respective counties,
then shall ascertain the rate per cent |
required and shall, accordingly,
apportion the whole amount to |
be raised between the several parts of the
district so lying in |
the different counties. The tax provided for in
this Section |
shall be levied at the same time and in the same manner as
|
nearly as practicable as taxes are now levied for municipal
|
purposes under the laws of this State.
|
All general taxes under this Act, when collected, shall be |
paid over to the
treasurer of the board of trustees, who is |
authorized to receive and
receipt for the same. |
(b) A rescue squad district organized under this Act may |
fix, charge, and collect fees for rescue squad services and |
ambulance services within or outside of the rescue squad |
district not exceeding the reasonable cost of the service.
