 1                    AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 326

 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend Senate Bill 326  by  replacing
 3    everything after the enacting clause with the following:

 4        "Section  5.   The  School  Code  is  amended by changing
 5    Section 18-4.4 as follows:

 6        (105 ILCS 5/18-4.4) (from Ch. 122, par. 18-4.4)
 7        Sec. 18-4.4.  Tax  Equivalent  Grants.   When  any  State
 8    institution  is  located  in  a  school district in which the
 9    State owns 45% or more of the total land area of the district
10    or when a United States  military  installation  or  base  is
11    located  in  a school district with a population of less than
12    500,000 and there  are  students  residing  on  the  military
13    installation  or  base who are in attendance in the district,
14    the State Superintendent of Education shall  annually  direct
15    the State Comptroller to pay the amount of the tax-equivalent
16    grants  provided  in  this Section, and the State Comptroller
17    shall draw his warrant  upon  the  State  Treasurer  for  the
18    payment  of the grants.  For fiscal year 1995 and each fiscal
19    year thereafter, the grant shall equal 0.5% of the  equalized
20    assessed  valuation  of  the  land  owned by the State or the
21    United States (computing that equalized assessed valuation by
22    multiplying the average value per taxable acre of the  school
 
                            -2-            LRB9206277NTsbam05
 1    district  by  the  total number of acres of land owned by the
 2    State or the United States).  Annually on or before September
 3    15, 1994 and July 1, thereafter, the district  superintendent
 4    shall  certify  to the State Board of Education the following
 5    matters:
 6             1.  The name of  the  State  institution  or  United
 7        States military installation or base.
 8             2.  The total land area of the district in acres.
 9             3.  The  total ownership of the land of the State or
10        the United States in acres.
11             4.  The total equalized assessed value  of  all  the
12        land in the district.
13             5.  The rate of school tax payable in the year.
14             6.  The  computed amount of the tax-equivalent grant
15        claimed.
16    However, for fiscal year 2002 only,  for  a  school  district
17    making  a  claim  under  this  Section  for  a  United States
18    military installation or base,  the  district  superintendent
19    shall  certify the matters on or before September 15, 2001 or
20    30 days  after  this  amendatory  Act  of  the  92nd  General
21    Assembly becomes law, whichever is later.
22        Failure  of  any  district  superintendent to certify the
23    claim for the tax-equivalent grant on or before September 15,
24    1994 or July 1  of  a  subsequent  year  shall  constitute  a
25    forfeiture by the district of its right to such grant for the
26    school year.  The grants to school districts where a military
27    installation  or base is located in the district and students
28    residing  on  the  military  installation  or  base  are   in
29    attendance   in   the  district  shall  be  appropriated  for
30    distribution from a separate line item.  Payments under  this
31    Section  that  are  due  because  of the changes made to this
32    Section by this amendatory Act of the 92nd  General  Assembly
33    shall commence in fiscal year 2002.
