A BILL FOR
HB2087 LRB103 25068 HLH 51403 b
AN ACT concerning revenue.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The State Revenue Sharing Act is amended by
changing Section 2 as follows:
(30 ILCS 115/2) (from Ch. 85, par. 612)
Sec. 2. Allocation and Disbursement.
(a) As soon as may be after the first day of each month,
the Department of Revenue shall allocate among the several
municipalities and counties of this State the amount available
in the Local Government Distributive Fund and in the Income
Tax Surcharge Local Government Distributive Fund, determined
as provided in Sections 1 and 1a above. Except as provided in
Sections 13 and 13.1 of this Act, the Department shall then
certify such allocations to the State Comptroller, who shall
pay over to the several municipalities and counties the
respective amounts allocated to them. The amount of such Funds
allocable to each such municipality and county shall be in
proportion to the number of individual residents of such
municipality or county to the total population of the State,
determined in each case on the basis of the latest census of
the State, municipality or county conducted by the Federal
government and certified by the Secretary of State and for

HB2087 - 2 - LRB103 25068 HLH 51403 b
annexations to municipalities, the latest Federal, State or
municipal census of the annexed area which has been certified
by the Department of Revenue. Allocations to the City of
Chicago under this Section are subject to Section 6 of the
Hotel Operators' Occupation Tax Act. For the purpose of this
Section, the number of individual residents of a county shall
be reduced by the number of individuals residing therein in
municipalities, but the number of individual residents of the
State, county and municipality shall reflect the latest census
of any of them. The amounts transferred into the Local
Government Distributive Fund pursuant to Section 9 of the Use
Tax Act, Section 9 of the Service Use Tax Act, Section 9 of the
Service Occupation Tax Act, and Section 3 of the Retailers'
Occupation Tax Act, each as now or hereafter amended, pursuant
to the amendments of such Sections by Public Act 85-1135,
shall be distributed as provided in said Sections.
(b) It is the intent of the General Assembly that
allocations made under this Section shall be made in a fair and
equitable manner. Accordingly, the clerk of any municipality
to which territory has been annexed, or from which territory
has been disconnected, shall notify the Department of Revenue
in writing of that annexation or disconnection and shall (1)
state the number of residents within the territory that was
annexed or disconnected, based on the last census conducted by
the federal, State, or municipal government and certified by
the Illinois Secretary of State, and (2) furnish therewith a

HB2087 - 3 - LRB103 25068 HLH 51403 b
certified copy of the plat of annexation or, in the case of
disconnection, the ordinance, final judgment, or resolution of
disconnection together with an accurate depiction of the
territory disconnected. The county in which the annexed or
disconnected territory is located shall verify that the number
of residents stated on the written notice that is to be sent to
the Department of Revenue is true and accurate. The verified
statement of the county shall accompany the written notice.
However, if the county does not respond to the municipality's
request for verification within 30 days, this verification
requirement shall be waived. The written notice shall be
provided to the Department of Revenue (1) within 30 days after
the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General
Assembly for disconnections occurring after January 1, 2007
and before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
96th General Assembly or (2) within 30 days after the
annexation or disconnection for annexations or disconnections
occurring on or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of the 96th General Assembly. For purposes of this
Section, a disconnection or annexation through court order is
deemed to be effective 30 days after the entry of a final
judgment order, unless stayed pending appeal. Thereafter, the
monthly allocation made to the municipality and to any other
municipality or county affected by the annexation or
disconnection shall be adjusted in accordance with this
Section to reflect the change in residency of the residents of

HB2087 - 4 - LRB103 25068 HLH 51403 b
the territory that was annexed or disconnected. The adjustment
shall be made no later than 30 days after the Department of
Revenue's receipt of the written notice of annexation or
disconnection described in this Section.
(c) All amounts paid into the Local Government
Distributive Fund in accordance with this Section and
allocated pursuant to this Act are appropriated on a
continuing basis.
