AN ACT concerning local government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section
5-1025 as follows:
(55 ILCS 5/5-1025) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1025)
Sec. 5-1025. Tax for expense of conducting elections and
and maintaining system of permanent registration of voters. In
counties of more than 1,000,000 inhabitants, a county board may
levy and collect, in odd numbered years, a tax of not to exceed
.05% of the value, as equalized or assessed by the Department
of Revenue, of all the taxable property in the county, for the
expense of conducting elections and maintaining a system of
permanent registration of voters. Such tax shall not be
included within any statutory limitation of rate or amount for
other county purposes, but shall be excluded therefrom and be
in addition thereto and in excess thereof; provided that this
tax shall not be levied or collected on property situated
within the jurisdiction of any municipal board of election
commissioners.
Beginning with calendar year 1986 and annually thereafter,
any county with less than 1,000,000 inhabitants shall pay over
to any municipal board of election commissioners in the county,

HB1015 - 2 - LRB101 03227 AWJ 48235 b
for the expense of conducting elections and maintaining a
system of permanent registration of voters, an amount at least
equal to the proceeds of the tax collected on property situated
within the jurisdiction of that board under this Section during
calendar year 1985; provided, however, such amount shall be
increased or decreased annually in proportion to any increase
or decrease in the equalized assessed valuation of such
municipality. Such amount shall be payable from the tax levied
and collected under Section 5-1024.
