18 | 18c-7401 of the Illinois
Vehicle Code, with the remainder to be | ||||||
19 | used by the Department of Transportation
upon order of the | ||||||
20 | Illinois Commerce Commission, to pay that part of the
cost | ||||||
21 | apportioned by such Commission to the State to cover the | ||||||
22 | interest
of the public in the use of highways, roads, streets, | ||||||
23 | or
pedestrian walkways in the
county highway system, township | ||||||
24 | and district road system, or municipal
street system as defined | ||||||
25 | in the Illinois Highway Code, as the same may
from time to time | ||||||
26 | be amended, for separation of grades, for installation,
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | construction or reconstruction of crossing protection or | ||||||
2 | reconstruction,
alteration, relocation including construction | ||||||
3 | or improvement of any
existing highway necessary for access to | ||||||
4 | property or improvement of any
grade crossing and grade | ||||||
5 | crossing surface including the necessary highway approaches | ||||||
6 | thereto of any
railroad across the highway or public road, or | ||||||
7 | for the installation,
construction, reconstruction, or | ||||||
8 | maintenance of a pedestrian walkway over or
under a railroad | ||||||
9 | right-of-way, as provided for in and in
accordance with Section | ||||||
10 | 18c-7401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
The Commission may order | ||||||
11 | up to $2,000,000 per year in Grade Crossing Protection Fund | ||||||
12 | moneys for the improvement of grade crossing surfaces and up to | ||||||
13 | $300,000 per year for the maintenance and renewal of 4-quadrant | ||||||
14 | gate vehicle detection systems located at non-high speed rail | ||||||
15 | grade crossings. The Commission shall not order more than | ||||||
16 | $2,000,000 per year in Grade
Crossing Protection Fund moneys | ||||||
17 | for pedestrian walkways.
In entering orders for projects for | ||||||
18 | which payments from the Grade Crossing
Protection Fund will be | ||||||
19 | made, the Commission shall account for expenditures
authorized | ||||||
20 | by the orders on a cash rather than an accrual basis. For | ||||||
21 | purposes
of this requirement an "accrual basis" assumes that | ||||||
22 | the total cost of the
project is expended in the fiscal year in | ||||||
23 | which the order is entered, while a
"cash basis" allocates the | ||||||
24 | cost of the project among fiscal years as
expenditures are | ||||||
25 | actually made. To meet the requirements of this subsection,
the | ||||||
26 | Illinois Commerce Commission shall develop annual and 5-year |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | project plans
of rail crossing capital improvements that will | ||||||
2 | be paid for with moneys from
the Grade Crossing Protection | ||||||
3 | Fund. The annual project plan shall identify
projects for the | ||||||
4 | succeeding fiscal year and the 5-year project plan shall
| ||||||
5 | identify projects for the 5 directly succeeding fiscal years. | ||||||
6 | The Commission
shall submit the annual and 5-year project plans | ||||||
7 | for this Fund to the Governor,
the President of the Senate, the | ||||||
8 | Senate Minority Leader, the Speaker of the
House of | ||||||
9 | Representatives, and the Minority Leader of the House of
| ||||||
10 | Representatives on
the first Wednesday in April of each year;
| ||||||
11 | (d) of the amount remaining after allocations provided for | ||||||
12 | in
subsections (a), (a-1), (b) , and (c), a sufficient amount | ||||||

| ||||||
20 | (3) refunds provided for in Section 13, refunds for | ||||||
21 | overpayment of decal fees paid under Section 13a.4 of this | ||||||
22 | Act, and refunds provided for under the terms
of the | ||||||

23 | Illinois Highway Code;
| ||||||
24 | (2) Until January 1, 2000, 41.6%, and beginning January | ||||||

distributed as follows:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (A) 49.10% to the municipalities of the State,
| ||||||

10 | subparagraph, except that a municipality that assumes the | ||||||
11 | powers and responsibilities of a road district under | ||||||
12 | paragraph (6) of Section 24-35 of the Township Code shall | ||||||
13 | receive any moneys that would have been distributed to the | ||||||
14 | township in a percent equal to the area of the dissolved | ||||||
15 | road district or portion of the dissolved road district | ||||||
16 | over which the municipality assumed the powers and | ||||||
17 | responsibilities compared to the total area of the | ||||||
18 | dissolved township. The moneys received under this | ||||||
19 | subparagraph shall be used in the geographic area of the | ||||||
20 | dissolved township. If a township is reconstituted as | ||||||
21 | provided under Section 24-45 of the Township Code, McHenry | ||||||
22 | County or a municipality shall no longer be distributed | ||||||
23 | moneys under this subparagraph. | ||||||
24 | As soon as may be after the first day of each month , the | ||||||
25 | Department of
Transportation shall allot to each municipality | ||||||
26 | its share of the amount
apportioned to the several |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | municipalities which shall be in proportion
to the population | ||||||
2 | of such municipalities as determined by the last
preceding | ||||||
3 | municipal census if conducted by the Federal Government or
| ||||||
4 | Federal census. If territory is annexed to any municipality | ||||||
5 | subsequent
to the time of the last preceding census the | ||||||
6 | corporate authorities of
such municipality may cause a census | ||||||
7 | to be taken of such annexed
territory and the population so | ||||||
8 | ascertained for such territory shall be
added to the population | ||||||
9 | of the municipality as determined by the last
preceding census | ||||||
10 | for the purpose of determining the allotment for that
| ||||||
11 | municipality. If the population of any municipality was not | ||||||
12 | determined
by the last Federal census preceding any | ||||||
13 | apportionment, the
apportionment to such municipality shall be | ||||||
14 | in accordance with any
census taken by such municipality. Any | ||||||
15 | municipal census used in
accordance with this Section shall be | ||||||
16 | certified to the Department of
Transportation by the clerk of | ||||||
17 | such municipality, and the accuracy
thereof shall be subject to | ||||||
18 | approval of the Department which may make
such corrections as | ||||||
19 | it ascertains to be necessary.
| ||||||
20 | As soon as may be after the first day of each month , the | ||||||
21 | Department of
Transportation shall allot to each county its | ||||||
22 | share of the amount
apportioned to the several counties of the | ||||||
23 | State as herein provided.
Each allotment to the several | ||||||
24 | counties having less than 1,000,000
inhabitants shall be in | ||||||
25 | proportion to the amount of motor vehicle
license fees received | ||||||
26 | from the residents of such counties, respectively,
during the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | preceding calendar year. The Secretary of State shall, on or
| ||||||
2 | before April 15 of each year, transmit to the Department of
| ||||||
3 | Transportation a full and complete report showing the amount of | ||||||
4 | motor
vehicle license fees received from the residents of each | ||||||
5 | county,
respectively, during the preceding calendar year. The | ||||||
6 | Department of
Transportation shall, each month, use for | ||||||
7 | allotment purposes the last
such report received from the | ||||||
8 | Secretary of State.
| ||||||
9 | As soon as may be after the first day of each month, the | ||||||
10 | Department
of Transportation shall allot to the several | ||||||
11 | counties their share of the
amount apportioned for the use of | ||||||
12 | road districts. The allotment shall
be apportioned among the | ||||||
13 | several counties in the State in the proportion
which the total | ||||||
14 | mileage of township or district roads in the respective
| ||||||
15 | counties bears to the total mileage of all township and | ||||||
16 | district roads
in the State. Funds allotted to the respective | ||||||
17 | counties for the use of
road districts therein shall be | ||||||
18 | allocated to the several road districts
in the county in the | ||||||
19 | proportion which the total mileage of such township
or district | ||||||
20 | roads in the respective road districts bears to the total
| ||||||
21 | mileage of all such township or district roads in the county. | ||||||
22 | After
July 1 of any year prior to 2011, no allocation shall be | ||||||
23 | made for any road district
unless it levied a tax for road and | ||||||
24 | bridge purposes in an amount which
will require the extension | ||||||
25 | of such tax against the taxable property in
any such road | ||||||
26 | district at a rate of not less than either .08% of the value
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | thereof, based upon the assessment for the year immediately | ||||||
2 | prior to the year
in which such tax was levied and as equalized | ||||||
3 | by the Department of Revenue
or, in DuPage County, an amount | ||||||
4 | equal to or greater than $12,000 per mile of
road under the | ||||||
5 | jurisdiction of the road district, whichever is less. Beginning | ||||||
6 | July 1, 2011 and each July 1 thereafter, an allocation shall be | ||||||
7 | made for any road district
if it levied a tax for road and | ||||||
8 | bridge purposes. In counties other than DuPage County, if the | ||||||
9 | amount of the tax levy requires the extension of the tax | ||||||
10 | against the taxable property in
the road district at a rate | ||||||
11 | that is less than 0.08% of the value
thereof, based upon the | ||||||
12 | assessment for the year immediately prior to the year
in which | ||||||
13 | the tax was levied and as equalized by the Department of | ||||||
14 | Revenue, then the amount of the allocation for that road | ||||||
15 | district shall be a percentage of the maximum allocation equal | ||||||
16 | to the percentage obtained by dividing the rate extended by the | ||||||
17 | district by 0.08%. In DuPage County, if the amount of the tax | ||||||
18 | levy requires the extension of the tax against the taxable | ||||||
19 | property in
the road district at a rate that is less than the | ||||||
20 | lesser of (i) 0.08% of the value
of the taxable property in the | ||||||
21 | road district, based upon the assessment for the year | ||||||
22 | immediately prior to the year
in which such tax was levied and | ||||||
23 | as equalized by the Department of Revenue,
or (ii) a rate that | ||||||
24 | will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per mile of
road under | ||||||
25 | the jurisdiction of the road district, then the amount of the | ||||||
26 | allocation for the road district shall be a percentage of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | maximum allocation equal to the percentage obtained by dividing | ||||||
2 | the rate extended by the district by the lesser of (i) 0.08% or | ||||||
3 | (ii) the rate that will yield an amount equal to $12,000 per | ||||||
4 | mile of
road under the jurisdiction of the road district. | ||||||
5 | The Department of Central Management Services shall | ||||||
6 | establish a model business enterprise program for the | ||||||
7 | procurement of contracts by municipalities, counties, and road | ||||||
8 | districts. The program shall take into account the size, | ||||||
9 | geographic location, and general procurement needs of the | ||||||
10 | various municipalities, counties, and road districts of the | ||||||
11 | State. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for each | ||||||
12 | fiscal year beginning on or after July 1, 2021, if a | ||||||
13 | municipality, county, or road district received a distribution | ||||||
14 | under this Section totaling more than $1,000,000 in the | ||||||
15 | previous fiscal year, then, in order to receive a distribution | ||||||
16 | for the current fiscal year, that municipality, county, or road | ||||||
17 | district must certify to the Department of Transportation that | ||||||
18 | it has established a minority-owned, women-owned, and | ||||||
19 | veteran-owned business enterprise program that meets or | ||||||
20 | exceeds the requirements of the model program established by | ||||||
21 | the Department of Central Management Services under this | ||||||
22 | Section. The municipality, county, or road district shall | ||||||
23 | accept vendor certification from the State of Illinois, the | ||||||
24 | County of Cook, and the City of Chicago for minority-owned, | ||||||
25 | women-owned or veteran-owned businesses. The Department of | ||||||
26 | Transportation shall prepare a list of all affected |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | municipalities, counties, and road districts that received a | ||||||
2 | distribution of more than $1,000,000 in the last fiscal year | ||||||
3 | and shall publish the list on its website. The Department of | ||||||
4 | Central Management Services shall prepare and conduct all | ||||||
5 | necessary studies, including an availability analysis and a | ||||||
6 | disparity study for all affected municipalities, counties, and | ||||||
7 | road districts, and shall use all existing studies as much as | ||||||
8 | possible. The Department of Central Management Services shall | ||||||
9 | maximize economies of scale in these studies where local | ||||||
10 | governments draw from the same pool of vendors. If the study | ||||||
11 | does not support the establishment of a business enterprise | ||||||
12 | program for any local municipality, county, or road district, | ||||||
13 | the requirements of this Section shall not apply to that local | ||||||
14 | municipality, county, or road district. The Department of | ||||||
15 | Transportation and the Illinois Toll Highway Authority shall | ||||||
16 | provide all data on their studies related to their business | ||||||
17 | enterprise programs to the Department of Central Management | ||||||
18 | Services to assist the Department of Central Management | ||||||
19 | Services in the completion of the study. | ||||||
20 | Prior to 2011, if any
road district has levied a special | ||||||
21 | tax for road purposes
pursuant to Sections 6-601, 6-602 , and | ||||||
22 | 6-603 of the Illinois Highway Code, and
such tax was levied in | ||||||
23 | an amount which would require extension at a
rate of not less | ||||||
24 | than .08% of the value of the taxable property thereof,
as | ||||||
25 | equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue,
or, in | ||||||
26 | DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | mile of
road under the jurisdiction of the road district, | ||||||
2 | whichever is less,
such levy shall, however, be deemed a proper | ||||||
3 | compliance with this
Section and shall qualify such road | ||||||
4 | district for an allotment under this
Section. Beginning in 2011 | ||||||
5 | and thereafter, if any
road district has levied a special tax | ||||||
6 | for road purposes
under Sections 6-601, 6-602, and 6-603 of the | ||||||
7 | Illinois Highway Code, and
the tax was levied in an amount that | ||||||
8 | would require extension at a
rate of not less than 0.08% of the | ||||||
9 | value of the taxable property of that road district,
as | ||||||
10 | equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue or, in | ||||||
11 | DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater than $12,000 per | ||||||
12 | mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district, | ||||||
13 | whichever is less, that levy shall be deemed a proper | ||||||
14 | compliance with this
Section and shall qualify such road | ||||||
15 | district for a full, rather than proportionate, allotment under | ||||||
16 | this
Section. If the levy for the special tax is less than | ||||||
17 | 0.08% of the value of the taxable property, or, in DuPage | ||||||
18 | County if the levy for the special tax is less than the lesser | ||||||
19 | of (i) 0.08% or (ii) $12,000 per mile of road under the | ||||||
20 | jurisdiction of the road district, and if the levy for the | ||||||
21 | special tax is more than any other levy for road and bridge | ||||||
22 | purposes, then the levy for the special tax qualifies the road | ||||||
23 | district for a proportionate, rather than full, allotment under | ||||||
24 | this Section. If the levy for the special tax is equal to or | ||||||
25 | less than any other levy for road and bridge purposes, then any | ||||||
26 | allotment under this Section shall be determined by the other |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | levy for road and bridge purposes. | ||||||
2 | Prior to 2011, if a township has transferred to the road | ||||||
3 | and bridge fund
money which, when added to the amount of any | ||||||
4 | tax levy of the road
district would be the equivalent of a tax | ||||||
5 | levy requiring extension at a
rate of at least .08%, or, in | ||||||
6 | DuPage County, an amount equal to or greater
than $12,000 per | ||||||
7 | mile of road under the jurisdiction of the road district,

8 | whichever is less, such transfer, together with any such tax | ||||||
9 | levy,
shall be deemed a proper compliance with this Section and | ||||||
10 | shall qualify
the road district for an allotment under this | ||||||
11 | Section.
| ||||||
12 | In counties in which a property tax extension limitation is | ||||||
13 | imposed
under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law, road | ||||||
14 | districts may retain
their entitlement to a motor fuel tax | ||||||
15 | allotment or, beginning in 2011, their entitlement to a full | ||||||
16 | allotment if, at the time the property
tax
extension limitation | ||||||
17 | was imposed, the road district was levying a road and
bridge | ||||||
18 | tax at a rate sufficient to entitle it to a motor fuel tax | ||||||
19 | allotment
and continues to levy the maximum allowable amount | ||||||
20 | after the imposition of the
property tax extension limitation. | ||||||
21 | Any road district may in all circumstances
retain its | ||||||
22 | entitlement to a motor fuel tax allotment or, beginning in | ||||||
23 | 2011, its entitlement to a full allotment if it levied a road | ||||||
24 | and
bridge tax in an amount that will require the extension of | ||||||
25 | the tax against the
taxable property in the road district at a | ||||||
26 | rate of not less than 0.08% of the
assessed value of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property, based upon the assessment for the year
immediately | ||||||
2 | preceding the year in which the tax was levied and as equalized | ||||||
3 | by
the Department of Revenue or, in DuPage County, an amount | ||||||
4 | equal to or greater
than $12,000 per mile of road under the | ||||||
5 | jurisdiction of the road district,
whichever is less.
| ||||||
6 | As used in this Section , the term "road district" means any | ||||||
7 | road
district, including a county unit road district, provided | ||||||
8 | for by the
Illinois Highway Code; and the term "township or | ||||||
9 | district road"
means any road in the township and district road | ||||||
10 | system as defined in the
Illinois Highway Code. For the | ||||||
11 | purposes of this Section, "township or
district road" also | ||||||
12 | includes such roads as are maintained by park
districts, forest | ||||||
13 | preserve districts and conservation districts. The
Department | ||||||
14 | of Transportation shall determine the mileage of all township
| ||||||
15 | and district roads for the purposes of making allotments and | ||||||
16 | allocations of
motor fuel tax funds for use in road districts.
| ||||||
17 | Payment of motor fuel tax moneys to municipalities and | ||||||
18 | counties shall
be made as soon as possible after the allotment | ||||||
19 | is made. The treasurer
of the municipality or county may invest | ||||||
20 | these funds until their use is
required and the interest earned | ||||||
21 | by these investments shall be limited
to the same uses as the | ||||||
22 | principal funds.
