1 Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
2rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
3preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one
4plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
5denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
6value of all real property in the territory under the
7jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
8For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
9extension for the last preceding levy year, except for school
10districts that reduced their extension for educational
11purposes pursuant to Section 18-206, the highest aggregate
12extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be
13used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. The
14denominator shall not include new property or the recovered tax
15increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a limiting
16rate increase has been approved at an election held after March
1721, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable limiting rate shall
18be increased by the amount of the new rate or shall be reduced
19by the amount of the rate decrease, as the case may be, or (ii)
20in the case of a limiting rate increase, the limiting rate
21shall be equal to the rate set forth in the proposition
22approved by the voters for each of the years specified in the
23proposition, after which the limiting rate of the taxing
24district shall be calculated as otherwise provided. In the case
25of a taxing district that obtained referendum approval for an
26increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the limiting rate

HB2428- 19 -LRB101 06293 HLH 51319 b
1for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that generates the
2approximate total amount of taxes extendable for that tax year,
3as set forth in the proposition approved by the voters; this
4rate shall be the final rate applied by the county clerk for
5the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for tax year
62012.
