6 provided in this paragraph, the amount of the current year's

12 Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, previously
13 established under the Economic Development Project Area Tax
14 Increment Act of 1995, or previously established under the

18 assessed value of each property in the redevelopment project
19 area. For the taxes which are extended for the 1997 levy year,
20 the recovered tax increment value for a non-home rule taxing
21 district that first became subject to this Law for the 1995
22 levy year because a majority of its 1994 equalized assessed
23 value was in an affected county or counties shall be increased
24 if a municipality terminated the designation of an area in 1993

10 real property from a redevelopment project area established
11 under the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the
12 Illinois Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in
13 the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area
14 Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value"
15 means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value
16 of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
17 removed from the redevelopment project area over and above the
18 initial equalized assessed value of that real property before
19 removal from the redevelopment project area.
20 Except as otherwise provided in this Section, "limiting
21 rate" means a fraction the numerator of which is the last
22 preceding aggregate extension base times an amount equal to one
23 plus the extension limitation defined in this Section and the
24 denominator of which is the current year's equalized assessed
25 value of all real property in the territory under the
26 jurisdiction of the taxing district during the prior levy year.

SB1750 Engrossed - 17 - LRB096 08969 HLH 19107 b

3 aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years
4 shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate.
5 The denominator shall not include new property or the recovered
6 tax increment value. If a new rate, a rate decrease, or a
7 limiting rate increase has been approved at an election held
8 after March 21, 2006, then (i) the otherwise applicable
9 limiting rate shall be increased by the amount of the new rate
10 or shall be reduced by the amount of the rate decrease, as the
11 case may be, or (ii) in the case of a limiting rate increase,
12 the limiting rate shall be equal to the rate set forth in the
13 proposition approved by the voters for each of the years
14 specified in the proposition, after which the limiting rate of
15 the taxing district shall be calculated as otherwise provided.
