14of real property not exempt from real estate taxation, which
15real property was exempt from real estate taxation for any
16portion of the immediately preceding levy year, multiplied by
17the equalization factor issued by the Department under Section
1817-30, including the assessed value, upon final stabilization
19of occupancy after new construction is complete, of any real
20property located within the boundaries of an otherwise or

15provided in this paragraph, the amount of the current year's
16equalized assessed value, in the first year after a
17municipality terminates the designation of an area as a

20Municipal Code, previously established under the Industrial
21Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, previously
22established under the Economic Development Project Area Tax
23Increment Act of 1995, or previously established under the
24Economic Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, of each
25taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in the
26redevelopment project area over and above the initial equalized

SB0484 Engrossed- 19 -LRB100 05148 HLH 15158 b
1assessed value of each property in the redevelopment project
2area. For the taxes which are extended for the 1997 levy year,
3the recovered tax increment value for a non-home rule taxing
4district that first became subject to this Law for the 1995
5levy year because a majority of its 1994 equalized assessed
6value was in an affected county or counties shall be increased
7if a municipality terminated the designation of an area in 1993
8as a redevelopment project area previously established under

14assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
15real property in the redevelopment project area over and above
16the initial equalized assessed value of each property in the
17redevelopment project area. In the first year after a
18municipality removes a taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
19real property from a redevelopment project area established
20under the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the
21Illinois Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in
22the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area
23Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
24means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value
25of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
26removed from the redevelopment project area over and above the

SB0484 Engrossed- 20 -LRB100 05148 HLH 15158 b
1initial equalized assessed value of that real property before
2removal from the redevelopment project area.
3 Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
4rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
5preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one
6plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
7denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
8value of all real property in the territory under the
9jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
10For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
11extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest
12aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years
13shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.
14The denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
15tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
16limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
17after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
18limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
19or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
20case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
21the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
22proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
23specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
24the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
25In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum
26approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the

SB0484 Engrossed- 21 -LRB100 05148 HLH 15158 b
1limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that
2generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for
3that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the
4voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county
5clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for
6tax year 2012.

82018, a school district that has been granted a financial

19municipality removes a taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of
20real property from a redevelopment project area established
21under the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the
22Illinois Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in
23the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area
24Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
25means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value
26of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property

SB0484 Engrossed- 42 -LRB100 05148 HLH 15158 b

5rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last

7plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
8denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
9value of all real property in the territory under the
10jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.
11For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate
12extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest
13aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years
14shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.
15The denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
16tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
17limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
18after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
19limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
20or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
21case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
22the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
23proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
24specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
25the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
26In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum

SB0484 Engrossed- 43 -LRB100 05148 HLH 15158 b
1approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the
2limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that
3generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for
4that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the
5voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county
6clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for
7tax year 2012.
8 "Qualified school district" means, for levy years 2017 and
92018, a school district that has been granted a financial

20 to Article 34A of this Code, to share financial information
21 relevant to a proper investigation of the district's

21 Board of Education's School District Financial Profile
22 System, as on financial watch status for fiscal year 2016.
23 After independently verifying that a district meets one or

25State Superintendent shall notify the appropriate taxing
26authorities that the district is to be exempt from the

SB0484 Engrossed- 45 -LRB100 05148 HLH 15158 b

9 is estimated to be $....
10 Paragraph (2) shall be included only if the increased
11extension limitation will be applicable for more than one year

14each levy year shall be the approximate dollar amount of the
15increase over the amount of the most recently completed
16extension at the time the submission of the question is
17initiated by the taxing district. The approximate amount of the
18additional tax extendable shown in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall
19be calculated by multiplying $100,000 (the fair market value of
20the property without regard to any property tax exemptions) by

9levy year (or an estimate of the percentage increase for the
10prior levy year if the increase is unavailable at the time the
11submission of the question is initiated by the taxing
12district); and dividing the result by the last known equalized
13assessed value of the taxing district at the time the
