| 1 | AN ACT concerning transportation.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 5 | changing Sections 6-901 and 6-906 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| 6 | (605 ILCS 5/6-901) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-901)
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| 7 | Sec. 6-901.
Annually, the General Assembly shall | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 8 | appropriate to the
Department of Transportation from the road | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 9 | fund, the general revenue
fund, any other State funds or a | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 10 | combination of those funds, $60,000,000 $15,000,000
for | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 11 | apportionment to counties for the use of road districts for | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 12 | the
construction of bridges 20 feet or more in length, as | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 13 | provided in
Sections 6-902 through 6-905.
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| 14 | The Department of Transportation shall apportion among the | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 15 | several
counties of this State for the use of road districts | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 16 | the amounts
appropriated under this Section. The amount | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 17 | apportioned to a county
shall be in the proportion which the | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 18 | total mileage of township or
district roads in the county | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 19 | bears to the total mileage of all township
and district roads | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 20 | in the State. Each county shall allocate to the
several road | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 21 | districts in the county the funds so apportioned to the
| |||||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | county. The allocation to road districts shall be made in the | |||||||||||||||||||||
| 23 | same
manner and be subject to the same conditions and | |||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | qualifications as are
provided by Section 8 of the "Motor Fuel | ||||||
| 2 | Tax Law", approved March 25,
1929, as amended, with respect to | ||||||
| 3 | the allocation to road districts of
the amount allotted from | ||||||
| 4 | the Motor Fuel Tax Fund for apportionment to
counties for the | ||||||
| 5 | use of road districts, but no allocation shall be made
to any | ||||||
| 6 | road district that has not levied taxes for road and bridge
| ||||||
| 7 | purposes and for bridge construction purposes at the maximum | ||||||
| 8 | rates
permitted by Sections 6-501, 6-508 and 6-512 of this | ||||||
| 9 | Act, without
referendum. "Road district" and "township or | ||||||
| 10 | district road" have the
meanings ascribed to those terms in | ||||||
| 11 | this Act.
| ||||||
| 12 | Road districts in counties in which a property tax | ||||||
| 13 | extension limitation is
imposed under the Property Tax | ||||||
| 14 | Extension Limitation Law that are made
ineligible for receipt | ||||||
| 15 | of this appropriation due to the imposition of a
property tax | ||||||
| 16 | extension limitation may become eligible if, at the time the
| ||||||
| 17 | property tax extension limitation was imposed, the road | ||||||
| 18 | district was levying at
the required rate and continues to | ||||||
| 19 | levy the maximum allowable amount
after the imposition of the | ||||||
| 20 | property tax extension limitation. The road
district
also | ||||||
| 21 | becomes
eligible if it levies at or above the rate required for | ||||||
| 22 | eligibility by Section
8 of the
Motor Fuel Tax Law.
| ||||||
| 23 | The amounts apportioned under this Section for allocation | ||||||
| 24 | to road
districts may be used only for bridge construction as | ||||||
| 25 | provided in this
Division. So much of those amounts as are not | ||||||
| 26 | obligated under Sections
6-902 through 6-904 and for which | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | local funds have not been committed
under Section 6-905 within | ||||||
| 2 | 48 months of the date
when such apportionment is
made lapses | ||||||
| 3 | and shall not be paid to the county treasurer for
distribution | ||||||
| 4 | to road districts.
| ||||||

| ||||||
| 6 | (605 ILCS 5/6-906) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-906)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 6-906.
So much of the amount apportioned to a county | ||||||
| 8 | under
Section 6-901 that is obligated under Sections 6-902 | ||||||
| 9 | through 6-904 and
for which local funds have been committed | ||||||
| 10 | under Section 6-905, within 4
years from the date the | ||||||
| 11 | apportionment is made, shall, upon
certification by the | ||||||
| 12 | Department, be paid to the county treasurer, who
shall apply | ||||||
| 13 | those funds to the payment of such obligations. Any funds
| ||||||
| 14 | allocated to a county under Section 6-901 that are not | ||||||
| 15 | obligated within 72 48
months under Sections 6-902 through | ||||||
| 16 | 6-904 shall revert to the Road Fund.
| ||||||
| 17 | (Source: P.A. 98-244, eff. 8-9-13.)
| ||||||
| 18 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
| 19 | becoming law.
