Upon receipt of such 30 certification, the Treasurer and the Comptroller shall 31 transfer the amount so certified from the Personal Property SB38 Engrossed -2- SRS90S0008NCch 1 Tax Replacement Fund into the General Revenue Fund. 2 The payments of revenue into the Personal Property Tax 3 Replacement Fund shall be used exclusively for distribution 4 to taxing districts as provided in this Section, payment of 5 the expenses of the Department of Revenue incurred in 6 administering the collection and distribution of monies paid 7 into the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund and transfers 8 due to refunds to taxpayers for overpayment of liability for 9 taxes paid into the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund. 10 As soon as may be after the effective date of this 11 amendatory Act of 1980, the Department of Revenue shall 12 certify to the Treasurer the amount of net replacement 13 revenue paid into the General Revenue Fund prior to that 14 effective date from the additional tax imposed by Section 15 2a.1 of the Messages Tax Act; Section 2a.1 of the Gas Revenue 16 Tax Act; Section 2a.1 of the Public Utilities Revenue Act; 17 Section 3 of the Water Company Invested Capital Tax Act; and 18 the additional personal property tax replacement income tax 19 imposed by the Illinois Income Tax Act, as amended by Public 20 Act 81-1st Special Session-1.

All amounts allocated pursuant to this Section are 30 appropriated on a continuing basis. 31 Prior to December 31, 1980, as soon as may be after the 32 end of each quarter beginning with the quarter ending 33 December 31, 1979, and on and after December 31, 1980, as 34 soon as may be after January 1, March 1, April 1, May 1, July SB38 Engrossed -3- SRS90S0008NCch 1 1, August 1, October 1 and December 1 of each year, the 2 Department of Revenue shall allocate to each taxing district 3 as defined in Section 1-150 of the Property Tax Code, in 4 accordance with the provisions of paragraph (2) of this 5 Section the portion of the funds held in the Personal 6 Property Tax Replacement Fund which is required to be 7 distributed, as provided in paragraph (1), for each quarter. 8 Provided, however, under no circumstances shall any taxing 9 district during each of the first two years of distribution 10 of the taxes imposed by this amendatory Act of 1979 be 11 entitled to an annual allocation which is less than the funds 12 such taxing district collected from the 1978 personal 13 property tax. Provided further that under no circumstances 14 shall any taxing district during the third year of 15 distribution of the taxes imposed by this amendatory Act of 16 1979 receive less than 60% of the funds such taxing district 17 collected from the 1978 personal property tax. In the event 18 that the total of the allocations made as above provided for 19 all taxing districts, during either of such 3 years, exceeds 20 the amount available for distribution the allocation of each 21 taxing district shall be proportionately reduced. Except as 22 provided in Section 13 of this Act, the Department shall then 23 certify, pursuant to appropriation, such allocations to the 24 State Comptroller who shall pay over to the several taxing 25 districts the respective amounts allocated to them. 26 Any township which receives an allocation based in whole 27 or in part upon personal property taxes which it levied 28 pursuant to Section 6-507 or 6-512 of the Illinois Highway 29 Code and which was previously required to be paid over to a 30 municipality shall immediately pay over to that municipality 31 a proportionate share of the personal property replacement 32 funds which such township receives. 33 Any municipality or township, other than a municipality 34 with a population in excess of 500,000, which receives an SB38 Engrossed -4- SRS90S0008NCch 1 allocation based in whole or in part on personal property 2 taxes which it levied pursuant to Sections 3-1, 3-4 and 3-6 3 of the Illinois Local Library Act and which was previously 4 required to be paid over to a public library shall 5 immediately pay over to that library a proportionate share of 6 the personal property tax replacement funds which such 7 municipality or township receives; provided that if such a 8 public library has converted to a library organized under The 9 Illinois Public Library District Act, regardless of whether 10 such conversion has occurred on, after or before January 1, 11 1988, such proportionate share shall be immediately paid over 12 to the library district which maintains and operates the 13 library. However, any library that has converted prior to 14 January 1, 1988, and which hitherto has not received the 15 personal property tax replacement funds, shall receive such 16 funds commencing on January 1, 1988. 17 Any township which receives an allocation based in whole 18 or in part on personal property taxes which it levied 19 pursuant to Section 1c of the Public Graveyards Act and which 20 taxes were previously required to be paid over to or used for 21 such public cemetery or cemeteries shall immediately pay over 22 to or use for such public cemetery or cemeteries a 23 proportionate share of the personal property tax replacement 24 funds which the township receives. 25 Any taxing district which receives an allocation based in 26 whole or in part upon personal property taxes which it levied 27 for another governmental body or school district in Cook 28 County in 1976 or for another governmental body or school 29 district in the remainder of the State in 1977 shall 30 immediately pay over to that governmental body or school 31 district the amount of personal property replacement funds 32 which such governmental body or school district would receive 33 directly under the provisions of paragraph (2) of this 34 Section, had it levied its own taxes. SB38 Engrossed -5- SRS90S0008NCch 1 (1) The portion of the Personal Property Tax Replacement 2 Fund required to be distributed as of the time allocation is 3 required to be made shall be the amount available in such 4 Fund as of the time allocation is required to be made. 5 The amount available for distribution shall be the total 6 amount in the fund at such time minus the necessary 7 administrative expenses as limited by the appropriation and 8 the amount determined by: (a) $2.8 million for fiscal year 9 1981; (b) for fiscal year 1982, .54% of the funds distributed 10 from the fund during the preceding fiscal year; (c) for 11 fiscal year 1983 through fiscal year 1988, .54% of the funds 12 distributed from the fund during the preceding fiscal year 13 less .02% of such fund for fiscal year 1983 and less .02% of 14 such funds for each fiscal year thereafter, or (d) for fiscal 15 year 1989 and beyond no more than 105% of the actual 16 administrative expenses of the prior fiscal year. Such 17 portion of the fund shall be determined after the transfer 18 into the General Revenue Fund due to refunds, if any, paid 19 from the General Revenue Fund during the preceding quarter. 20 If at any time, for any reason, there is insufficient amount 21 in the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund for payment of 22 costs of administration or for transfers due to refunds at 23 the end of any particular month, the amount of such 24 insufficiency shall be carried over for the purposes of 25 transfers into the General Revenue Fund and for purposes of 26 costs of administration to the following month or months. 27 Net replacement revenue held, and defined above, shall be 28 transferred by the Treasurer and Comptroller to the Personal 29 Property Tax Replacement Fund within 10 days of such 30 certification. 31 (2) Each quarterly allocation shall first be apportioned 32 in the following manner: 51.65% for taxing districts in Cook 33 County and 48.35% for taxing districts in the remainder of 34 the State. SB38 Engrossed -6- SRS90S0008NCch 1 The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each taxing 2 district outside Cook County shall be the ratio which the Tax 3 Base of that taxing district bears to the Downstate Tax Base. 4 The Tax Base of each taxing district outside of Cook County 5 is the personal property tax collections for that taxing 6 district for the 1977 tax year; provided, however, in the 7 event a taxing district outside of Cook County had no 8 personal property tax collection for the 1977 tax year, that 9 the personal property tax collection for the 1978 tax year is 10 to be utilized to determine that particular taxing district's 11 Tax Base. The Downstate Tax Base is the personal property 12 tax collections for all taxing districts in the State outside 13 of Cook County for the 1977 tax year. The Department of 14 Revenue shall have authority ot review for accuracy and 15 completeness the personal property tax collections for each 16 taxing district outside Cook county for the 1977 tax year. 17 The Personal Property Replacement Ratio of each Cook 18 County taxing district shall be the ratio which the Tax Base 19 of that taxing district bears to the Cook County Tax Base. 20 The Tax Base of each Cook County taxing district is the 21 personal property tax collections for that taxing district 22 for the 1976 tax year. The Cook County Tax Base is the 23 personal property tax collections for all taxing districts in 24 Cook County for the 1976 tax year; provided, however, that in 25 the event a taxing district in Cook County had no personal 26 property tax collection for the 1976 tax year, that the 27 personal property tax collection for the 1978 tax year is to 28 be utilized to determine the particular taxing district's Tax 29 Base. The Department of Revenue shall have authority to 30 review for accuracy and completeness the personal property 31 tax collections for each taxing district within Cook County 32 for the 1976 tax year. 33 For all purposes of this Section 12, amounts paid to a 34 taxing district for such tax years as may be applicable by a SB38 Engrossed -7- SRS90S0008NCch 1 foreign corporation under the provisions of Section 7-202 of 2 the Public Utilities Act, as amended, shall be deemed to be 3 personal property taxes collected by such taxing district for 4 such tax years as may be applicable. The Director shall 5 determine from the Illinois Commerce Commission, for any tax 6 year as may be applicable, the amounts so paid by any such 7 foreign corporation to any and all taxing districts. The 8 Illinois Commerce Commission shall furnish such information 9 to the Director. For all purposes of this Section 12, the 10 Director shall deem such amounts to be collected personal 11 property taxes of each such taxing district for the 12 applicable tax year or years. 13 Taxing districts located both in Cook County and in one 14 or more other counties shall receive both a Cook County 15 allocation and a Downstate allocation determined in the same 16 way as all other taxing districts. 17 If any taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979 18 ceases to exist, or discontinues its operations, its Tax Base 19 shall thereafter be deemed to be zero. If the powers, duties 20 and obligations of the discontinued taxing district are 21 assumed by another taxing district, the Tax Base of the 22 discontinued taxing district shall be added to the Tax Base 23 of the taxing district assuming such powers, duties and 24 obligations. 25 If two or more taxing districts in existence on July 1, 26 1979, or a successor or successors thereto shall consolidate 27 into one taxing district, the Tax Base of such consolidated 28 taxing district shall be the sum of the Tax Bases of each of 29 the taxing districts which have consolidated. 30 If a single taxing district in existence on July 1, 1979, 31 or a successor or successors thereto shall be divided into 32 two or more separate taxing districts, the tax base of the 33 taxing district so divided shall be allocated to each of the 34 resulting taxing districts in proportion to the then current SB38 Engrossed -8- SRS90S0008NCch 1 equalized assessed value of each resulting taxing district. 2 If a portion of the territory of a taxing district is 3 disconnected and annexed to another taxing district of the 4 same type, the Tax Base of the taxing district from which 5 disconnection was made shall be reduced in proportion to the 6 then current equalized assessed value of the disconnected 7 territory as compared with the then current equalized 8 assessed value within the entire territory of the taxing 9 district prior to disconnection, and the amount of such 10 reduction shall be added to the Tax Base of the taxing 11 district to which annexation is made. 12 If a community college district is created after July 1, 13 1979, beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act 14 of 1995, its Tax Base shall be 3.5% of the sum of the 15 personal property tax collected for the 1977 tax year within 16 the territorial jurisdiction of the district. 17 The amounts allocated and paid to taxing districts 18 pursuant to the provisions of this amendatory Act of 1979 19 shall be deemed to be substitute revenues for the revenues 20 derived from taxes imposed on personal property pursuant to 21 the provisions of the "Revenue Act of 1939" or "An Act for 22 the assessment and taxation of private car line companies", 23 approved July 22, 1943, as amended, or Section 414 of the 24 Illinois Insurance Code, prior to the abolition of such taxes 25 and shall be used for the same purposes as the revenues 26 derived from ad valorem taxes on real estate. 27 Monies received by any taxing districts from the Personal 28 Property Tax Replacement Fund shall be first applied toward 29 payment of the proportionate amount of debt service which was 30 previously levied and collected from extensions against 31 personal property on bonds outstanding as of December 31, 32 1978 and next applied toward payment of the proportionate 33 share of the pension or retirement obligations of the taxing 34 district which were previously levied and collected from SB38 Engrossed -9- SRS90S0008NCch 1 extensions against personal property. For each such 2 outstanding bond issue, the County Clerk shall determine the 3 percentage of the debt service which was collected from 4 extensions against real estate in the taxing district for 5 1978 taxes payable in 1979, as related to the total amount of 6 such levies and collections from extensions against both real 7 and personal property. For 1979 and subsequent years' taxes, 8 the County Clerk shall levy and extend taxes against the real 9 estate of each taxing district which will yield the said 10 percentage or percentages of the debt service on such 11 outstanding bonds. The balance of the amount necessary to 12 fully pay such debt service shall constitute a first and 13 prior lien upon the monies received by each such taxing 14 district through the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund 15 and shall be first applied or set aside for such purpose. In 16 counties having fewer than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the 17 amendments to this paragraph as made by this amendatory Act 18 of 1980 shall be first applicable to 1980 taxes to be 19 collected in 1981. 20 (Source: P.A. 88-670, eff. 12-2-94; 89-327, eff. 1-1-96.) 21 Section 99.
