Section 5. The Rescue Squad Districts Act is amended by
changing Section 11 as follows:
(70 ILCS 2005/11) (from Ch. 85, par. 6861)
Sec. 11. Property tax; fees.
(a) A rescue squad district organized under this Act may
levy and collect a general tax on the property situated in the
district, but the aggregate amount of taxes levied for any one
year shall not exceed the rate of .20% of value, as equalized
or assessed by the Department of Revenue. The board of trustees
shall determine and certify the amount to be levied and shall
return the same to the county clerk. The limitation upon the
tax rate may be increased or decreased under the referendum
provisions of the General Revenue Law of Illinois.
In case the district is located in more than one county,
the board of trustees shall determine and certify the amount to
be levied upon the taxable property lying in each county and
return the same to the respective county clerks of the counties
in which the amount is to be levied. In order to determine the
amount to be levied upon the taxable property of that part of
the district lying in each county, the board shall ascertain

district lies the last ascertained equalized value of the
taxable property of the district lying in their respective
counties, then shall ascertain the rate per cent required and
shall, accordingly, apportion the whole amount to be raised
between the several parts of the district so lying in the
different counties. The tax provided for in this Section shall
be levied at the same time and in the same manner as nearly as
practicable as taxes are now levied for municipal purposes
under the laws of this State.
All general taxes under this Act, when collected, shall be
paid over to the treasurer of the board of trustees, who is
authorized to receive and receipt for the same.
(b) A rescue squad district organized under this Act may
fix, charge, and collect fees for rescue squad services and
