SB1391 - 2 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
residential buildings or improvements are detrimental to
the public safety, health, or welfare because of a
combination of 6 5 or more of the following factors, each
of which is (i) present, with that presence documented, to
a meaningful extent so that a municipality may reasonably
find that the factor is clearly present within the intent
of the Act and (ii) reasonably distributed throughout the
improved part of the redevelopment project area:
(A) (Blank). Dilapidation. An advanced state of
disrepair or neglect of necessary repairs to the
primary structural components of buildings or
improvements in such a combination that a documented
building condition analysis determines that major
repair is required or the defects are so serious and so
extensive that the buildings must be removed.

that represent an adverse influence on the area
because of the frequency, extent, or duration of the
vacancies.
(G) (Blank). Lack of ventilation, light, or
sanitary facilities. The absence of adequate
ventilation for light or air circulation in spaces or
rooms without windows, or that require the removal of
dust, odor, gas, smoke, or other noxious airborne

SB1391 - 5 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
(I) Excessive land coverage and overcrowding of
structures and community facilities. The
over-intensive use of property and the crowding of
buildings and accessory facilities onto a site.
Examples of problem conditions warranting the

land coverage are: (i) the presence of buildings
either improperly situated on parcels or located on
parcels of inadequate size and shape in relation to
present-day standards of development for health and
safety and (ii) the presence of multiple buildings on

proposed redevelopment project area was developed
prior to or without the benefit or guidance of a
community plan. This means that the development
occurred prior to the adoption by the municipality of
a comprehensive or other community plan or that the
plan was not followed at the time of the area's
development. This factor must be documented by
evidence of adverse or incompatible land-use
relationships, inadequate street layout, improper
subdivision, parcels of inadequate shape and size to
meet contemporary development standards, or other
evidence demonstrating an absence of effective
community planning.
(M) The total equalized assessed value of the

is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
calendar years for which information is available or
is increasing at an annual rate that is less than the

project area is impaired by a combination of one 2 or more

SB1391 - 8 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
of the following factors, each of which is (i) present,
with that presence documented, to a meaningful extent so
that a municipality may reasonably find that the factor is
clearly present within the intent of the Act and (ii)
reasonably distributed throughout the vacant part of the
redevelopment project area to which it pertains:
(A) (Blank). Obsolete platting of vacant land that
results in parcels of limited or narrow size or
configurations of parcels of irregular size or shape
that would be difficult to develop on a planned basis
and in a manner compatible with contemporary standards
and requirements, or platting that failed to create
rights-of-ways for streets or alleys or that created
inadequate right-of-way widths for streets, alleys, or
other public rights-of-way or that omitted easements
for public utilities.
(B) (Blank). Diversity of ownership of parcels of
vacant land sufficient in number to retard or impede
the ability to assemble the land for development.

determined a need for, the clean-up of hazardous
waste, hazardous substances, or underground storage
tanks required by State or federal law, provided that
the remediation costs constitute a material impediment
to the development or redevelopment of the
redevelopment project area.
(F) The total equalized assessed value of the
proposed redevelopment project area has declined for 3
of the last 5 calendar years prior to the year in which
the redevelopment project area is designated or is
increasing at an annual rate that is less than the
balance of the municipality for 3 of the last 5
calendar years for which information is available or
is increasing at an annual rate that is at least 25%
less than the Consumer Price Index for All Urban

amounts received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
Occupation Tax Act, which shall have deducted therefrom
nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, the
Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial
Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the State Fiscal Year

from October 1, 1988, to June 30, 1989, to determine the tax
amounts received from retailers and servicemen pursuant to the
Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax and the Municipal Service
Occupation Tax Act which shall have deducted therefrom
nine-twelfths of the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts,
Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial
Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year
thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months

district in a county with a population in excess of 3,000,000
before January 1, 1986, and the municipality entered into a
contract or issued bonds after January 1, 1986, but before
December 31, 1986, to finance redevelopment project costs
within a State Sales Tax Boundary, then the Net State Sales Tax
Increment means, for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 1990,
and July 1, 1991, 100% of the State Sales Tax Increment
annually generated within a State Sales Tax Boundary; and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, for those
fiscal years the Department of Revenue shall distribute to
those municipalities 100% of their Net State Sales Tax
Increment before any distribution to any other municipality
and regardless of whether or not those other municipalities
will receive 100% of their Net State Sales Tax Increment. For
Fiscal Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year
2007, for any municipality that has not entered into a
contract or has not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to
finance redevelopment project costs within a State Sales Tax

SB1391 - 22 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
Boundary, the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be
calculated as follows: By multiplying the Net State Sales Tax
Increment by 90% in the State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the
State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 60%
in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal Year
2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30% in the State

Municipalities that issued bonds in connection with a
redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area within
the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991, or that
entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment
project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988,
shall continue to receive their proportional share of the
Illinois Tax Increment Fund distribution until the date on
which the redevelopment project is completed or terminated.
If, however, a municipality that issued bonds in connection
with a redevelopment project in a redevelopment project area
within the State Sales Tax Boundary prior to July 29, 1991
retires the bonds prior to June 30, 2007 or a municipality that
entered into contracts in connection with a redevelopment
project in a redevelopment project area before June 1, 1988
completes the contracts prior to June 30, 2007, then so long as
the redevelopment project is not completed or is not
terminated, the Net State Sales Tax Increment shall be

SB1391 - 23 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
calculated, beginning on the date on which the bonds are
retired or the contracts are completed, as follows: By
multiplying the Net State Sales Tax Increment by 60% in the
State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal Year 2003; 40%
in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30% in the State Fiscal Year
2005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in the State
Fiscal Year 2007. No payment shall be made for State Fiscal
Year 2008 and thereafter. Refunding of any bonds issued prior
to July 29, 1991, shall not alter the Net State Sales Tax
Increment.
(j) "State Utility Tax Increment Amount" means an amount
equal to the aggregate increase in State electric and gas tax
charges imposed on owners and tenants, other than residential
customers, of properties located within the redevelopment
project area under Section 9-222 of the Public Utilities Act,
over and above the aggregate of such charges as certified by
the Department of Revenue and paid by owners and tenants,
other than residential customers, of properties within the
redevelopment project area during the base year, which shall
be the calendar year immediately prior to the year of the
adoption of the ordinance authorizing tax increment allocation
financing.
(k) "Net State Utility Tax Increment" means the sum of the
following: (a) 80% of the first $100,000 of State Utility Tax
Increment annually generated by a redevelopment project area;
(b) 60% of the amount in excess of $100,000 but not exceeding

SB1391 - 24 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
$500,000 of the State Utility Tax Increment annually generated
by a redevelopment project area; and (c) 40% of all amounts in
excess of $500,000 of State Utility Tax Increment annually
generated by a redevelopment project area. For the State
Fiscal Year 1999, and every year thereafter until the year
2007, for any municipality that has not entered into a
contract or has not issued bonds prior to June 1, 1988 to
finance redevelopment project costs within a redevelopment
project area, the Net State Utility Tax Increment shall be
calculated as follows: By multiplying the Net State Utility
Tax Increment by 90% in the State Fiscal Year 1999; 80% in the
State Fiscal Year 2000; 70% in the State Fiscal Year 2001; 60%
in the State Fiscal Year 2002; 50% in the State Fiscal Year
2003; 40% in the State Fiscal Year 2004; 30% in the State
Fiscal Year 2005; 20% in the State Fiscal Year 2006; and 10% in
the State Fiscal Year 2007. No payment shall be made for the
State Fiscal Year 2008 and thereafter.
Municipalities that issue bonds in connection with the
redevelopment project during the period from June 1, 1988
until 3 years after the effective date of this Amendatory Act
of 1988 shall receive the Net State Utility Tax Increment,
subject to appropriation, for 15 State Fiscal Years after the
issuance of such bonds. For the 16th through the 20th State
Fiscal Years after issuance of the bonds, the Net State
Utility Tax Increment shall be calculated as follows: By
multiplying the Net State Utility Tax Increment by 90% in year

SB1391 - 25 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
16; 80% in year 17; 70% in year 18; 60% in year 19; and 50% in
year 20. Refunding of any bonds issued prior to June 1, 1988,
shall not alter the revised Net State Utility Tax Increment
payments set forth above.
(l) "Obligations" mean bonds, loans, debentures, notes,
special certificates or other evidence of indebtedness issued
by the municipality to carry out a redevelopment project or to
refund outstanding obligations.
(m) "Payment in lieu of taxes" means those estimated tax
revenues from real property in a redevelopment project area
derived from real property that has been acquired by a
municipality which according to the redevelopment project or
plan is to be used for a private use which taxing districts
would have received had a municipality not acquired the real
property and adopted tax increment allocation financing and
which would result from levies made after the time of the
adoption of tax increment allocation financing to the time the
current equalized value of real property in the redevelopment
project area exceeds the total initial equalized value of real
property in said area.
(n) "Redevelopment plan" means the comprehensive program
of the municipality for development or redevelopment intended
by the payment of redevelopment project costs to reduce or
eliminate those conditions the existence of which qualified
the redevelopment project area as a "blighted area" or
"conservation area" or combination thereof or "industrial park

SB1391 - 26 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
conservation area," and thereby to enhance the tax bases of
the taxing districts which extend into the redevelopment
project area, provided that, with respect to redevelopment
project areas described in subsections (p-1) and (p-2),
"redevelopment plan" means the comprehensive program of the
affected municipality for the development of qualifying
transit facilities. On and after November 1, 1999 (the
effective date of Public Act 91-478), no redevelopment plan
may be approved or amended that includes the development of
vacant land (i) with a golf course and related clubhouse and
other facilities or (ii) designated by federal, State, county,
or municipal government as public land for outdoor
recreational activities or for nature preserves and used for
that purpose within 5 years prior to the adoption of the
redevelopment plan. For the purpose of this subsection,
"recreational activities" is limited to mean camping and
hunting. Each redevelopment plan shall set forth in writing
the program to be undertaken to accomplish the objectives and
shall include but not be limited to:
(A) an itemized list of estimated redevelopment
project costs;
(B) evidence indicating that the redevelopment project
area on the whole has not been subject to growth and
development through investment by private enterprise,
provided that such evidence shall not be required for any
redevelopment project area located within a transit

SB1391 - 27 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
facility improvement area established pursuant to Section
11-74.4-3.3;
(C) an assessment of any financial impact of the
redevelopment project area on or any increased demand for
services from any taxing district affected by the plan and
any program to address such financial impact or increased
demand;
(D) the sources of funds to pay costs;
(E) the nature and term of the obligations to be
issued;
(F) the most recent equalized assessed valuation of
the redevelopment project area;
(G) an estimate as to the equalized assessed valuation
after redevelopment and the general land uses to apply in
the redevelopment project area;
(H) a commitment to fair employment practices and an

any proposed developer, user and tenant of any property, a
description of the type, structure and general character
of the facilities to be developed, a description of the
type, class and number of new employees to be employed in
the operation of the facilities to be developed; and
(J) if property is to be annexed to the municipality,
the plan shall include the terms of the annexation

SB1391 - 28 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
agreement.
The provisions of items (B) and (C) of this subsection (n)
shall not apply to a municipality that before March 14, 1994
(the effective date of Public Act 88-537) had fixed, either by
its corporate authorities or by a commission designated under
subsection (k) of Section 11-74.4-4, a time and place for a
public hearing as required by subsection (a) of Section
11-74.4-5. No redevelopment plan shall be adopted unless a
municipality complies with all of the following requirements:
(1) The municipality finds that the redevelopment
project area on the whole has not been subject to growth
and development through investment by private enterprise
and would not reasonably be anticipated to be developed
without the adoption of the redevelopment plan, provided,
however, that such a finding shall not be required with
respect to any redevelopment project area located within a
transit facility improvement area established pursuant to
Section 11-74.4-3.3.
(2) The municipality finds that the redevelopment plan
and project conform to the comprehensive plan for the
development of the municipality as a whole, or, for
municipalities with a population of 100,000 or more,
regardless of when the redevelopment plan and project was
adopted, the redevelopment plan and project either: (i)
conforms to the strategic economic development or
redevelopment plan issued by the designated planning

SB1391 - 29 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
authority of the municipality, or (ii) includes land uses
that have been approved by the planning commission of the
municipality.
(2.5) The redevelopment plan establishes a process for
allocating funds from the special tax allocation fund for
redevelopment project costs that shall include the members
of the joint review board.
(3) The redevelopment plan establishes the estimated
dates of completion of the redevelopment project and
retirement of obligations issued to finance redevelopment
project costs. Those dates may not be later than the dates
set forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5.
A municipality may by municipal ordinance amend an
existing redevelopment plan to conform to this paragraph
(3) as amended by Public Act 91-478, which municipal
ordinance may be adopted without further hearing or notice
and without complying with the procedures provided in this
Act pertaining to an amendment to or the initial approval
of a redevelopment plan and project and designation of a
redevelopment project area.
(3.5) The municipality finds, in the case of an
industrial park conservation area, also that the
municipality is a labor surplus municipality and that the
implementation of the redevelopment plan will reduce
unemployment, create new jobs and by the provision of new
facilities enhance the tax base of the taxing districts

SB1391 - 30 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
that extend into the redevelopment project area.
(4) If any incremental revenues are being utilized
under paragraph (1) or (2) of Section 11-74.4-8a 8(a)(1)
or 8(a)(2) of this Act in redevelopment project areas
approved by ordinance after January 1, 1986, the
municipality finds: (a) that the redevelopment project
area would not reasonably be developed without the use of
such incremental revenues, and (b) that such incremental
revenues will be exclusively utilized for the development
of the redevelopment project area.
(5) If: (a) the redevelopment plan will not result in
displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
residential units, and the municipality certifies in the
plan that such displacement will not result from the plan;
or (b) the redevelopment plan is for a redevelopment
project area or a qualifying transit facility located
within a transit facility improvement area established
pursuant to Section 11-74.4-3.3, and the applicable
project is subject to the process for evaluation of
environmental effects under the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., then a housing
impact study need not be performed. If, however, the
redevelopment plan would result in the displacement of
residents from 10 or more inhabited residential units, or
if the redevelopment project area contains 75 or more
inhabited residential units and no certification is made,

SB1391 - 31 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
then the municipality shall prepare, as part of the
separate feasibility report required by subsection (a) of
Section 11-74.4-5, a housing impact study.
Part I of the housing impact study shall include (i)
data as to whether the residential units are single family
or multi-family units, (ii) the number and type of rooms
within the units, if that information is available, (iii)
whether the units are inhabited or uninhabited, as
determined not less than 45 days before the date that the
ordinance or resolution required by subsection (a) of
Section 11-74.4-5 is passed, and (iv) data as to the
racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the
inhabited residential units. The data requirement as to
the racial and ethnic composition of the residents in the
inhabited residential units shall be deemed to be fully
satisfied by data from the most recent federal census.
Part II of the housing impact study shall identify the
inhabited residential units in the proposed redevelopment
project area that are to be or may be removed. If inhabited
residential units are to be removed, then the housing
impact study shall identify (i) the number and location of
those units that will or may be removed, (ii) the
municipality's plans for relocation assistance for those
residents in the proposed redevelopment project area whose
residences are to be removed, (iii) the availability of
replacement housing for those residents whose residences

SB1391 - 32 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
are to be removed, and shall identify the type, location,
and cost of the housing, and (iv) the type and extent of
relocation assistance to be provided.
(6) On and after November 1, 1999, the housing impact
study required by paragraph (5) shall be incorporated in
the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment project area.
(7) On and after November 1, 1999, no redevelopment
plan shall be adopted, nor an existing plan amended, nor
shall residential housing that is occupied by households
of low-income and very low-income persons in currently
existing redevelopment project areas be removed after
November 1, 1999 unless the redevelopment plan provides,
with respect to inhabited housing units that are to be
removed for households of low-income and very low-income
persons, affordable housing and relocation assistance not
less than that which would be provided under the federal
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 and the regulations under
that Act, including the eligibility criteria. Affordable
housing may be either existing or newly constructed
housing. For purposes of this paragraph (7), "low-income
households", "very low-income households", and "affordable
housing" have the meanings set forth in the Illinois
Affordable Housing Act. The municipality shall make a good
faith effort to ensure that this affordable housing is
located in or near the redevelopment project area within

SB1391 - 33 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
the municipality.
(8) On and after November 1, 1999, if, after the
adoption of the redevelopment plan for the redevelopment
project area, any municipality desires to amend its
redevelopment plan to remove more inhabited residential
units than specified in its original redevelopment plan,
that change shall be made in accordance with the
procedures in subsection (c) of Section 11-74.4-5.
(9) For redevelopment project areas designated prior
to November 1, 1999, the redevelopment plan may be amended
without further joint review board meeting or hearing,
provided that the municipality shall give notice of any
such changes by mail to each affected taxing district and
registrant on the interested party registry, to authorize
the municipality to expend tax increment revenues for
redevelopment project costs defined by paragraphs (5) and
(7.5), subparagraphs (E) and (F) of paragraph (11), and
paragraph (11.5) of subsection (q) of Section 11-74.4-3,
so long as the changes do not increase the total estimated
redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment
plan by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from
the date the plan was adopted.
(o) "Redevelopment project" means any public and private
development project in furtherance of the objectives of a
redevelopment plan. On and after November 1, 1999 (the

blighted areas and conservation areas.
(p-1) Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the
contrary, on and after August 25, 2009 (the effective date of
Public Act 96-680), a redevelopment project area may include
areas within a one-half mile radius of an existing or proposed
Regional Transportation Authority Suburban Transit Access
Route (STAR Line) station without a finding that the area is
classified as an industrial park conservation area, a blighted
area, a conservation area, or a combination thereof, but only
if the municipality receives unanimous consent from the joint
review board created to review the proposed redevelopment

SB1391 - 35 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
project area.
(p-2) Notwithstanding any provision of this Act to the
contrary, on and after the effective date of this amendatory

the contract extend beyond a period of 3 years. In
addition, "redevelopment project costs" shall not include
lobbying expenses. After consultation with the
municipality, each tax increment consultant or advisor to
a municipality that plans to designate or has designated a
redevelopment project area shall inform the municipality

unless the school district certifies that each of
the schools affected by the assisted housing
project is at or over its student capacity;
(ii) the amount reimbursable shall be reduced
by the value of any land donated to the school
district by the municipality or developer, and by
the value of any physical improvements made to the
schools by the municipality or developer; and
(iii) the amount reimbursed may not affect
amounts otherwise obligated by the terms of any
bonds, notes, or other funding instruments, or the
terms of any redevelopment agreement.
Any school district seeking payment under this
paragraph (7.5) shall, after July 1 and before
September 30 of each year, provide the municipality
with reasonable evidence to support its claim for
reimbursement before the municipality shall be
required to approve or make the payment to the school
district. If the school district fails to provide the
information during this period in any year, it shall

SB1391 - 44 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that year.
School districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
right to all or a portion of the reimbursement
otherwise required by this paragraph (7.5). By
acceptance of this reimbursement the school district
waives the right to directly or indirectly set aside,
modify, or contest in any manner the establishment of
the redevelopment project area or projects;
(7.7) For redevelopment project areas designated (or
redevelopment project areas amended to add or increase the
number of tax-increment-financing assisted housing units)
on or after January 1, 2005 (the effective date of Public
Act 93-961), a public library district's increased costs
attributable to assisted housing units located within the
redevelopment project area for which the developer or
redeveloper receives financial assistance through an
agreement with the municipality or because the
municipality incurs the cost of necessary infrastructure
improvements within the boundaries of the assisted housing
sites necessary for the completion of that housing as
authorized by this Act shall be paid to the library
district by the municipality from the Special Tax
Allocation Fund when the tax increment revenue is received
as a result of the assisted housing units. This paragraph
(7.7) applies only if (i) the library district is located
in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension

SB1391 - 45 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
Limitation Law or (ii) the library district is not located
in a county that is subject to the Property Tax Extension
Limitation Law but the district is prohibited by any other
law from increasing its tax levy rate without a prior
voter referendum.
The amount paid to a library district under this
paragraph (7.7) shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the
net increase in the number of persons eligible to obtain a
library card in that district who reside in housing units
within the redevelopment project area that have received
financial assistance through an agreement with the
municipality or because the municipality incurs the cost
of necessary infrastructure improvements within the
boundaries of the housing sites necessary for the
completion of that housing as authorized by this Act since
the designation of the redevelopment project area by (ii)
the per-patron cost of providing library services so long
as it does not exceed $120. The per-patron cost shall be
the Total Operating Expenditures Per Capita for the
library in the previous fiscal year. The municipality may
deduct from the amount that it must pay to a library
district under this paragraph any amount that it has
voluntarily paid to the library district from the tax
increment revenue. The amount paid to a library district
under this paragraph (7.7) shall be no more than 2% of the
amount produced by the assisted housing units and

SB1391 - 46 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
deposited into the Special Tax Allocation Fund.
A library district is not eligible for any payment
under this paragraph (7.7) unless the library district has
experienced an increase in the number of patrons from the
municipality that created the tax-increment-financing
district since the designation of the redevelopment
project area.
Any library district seeking payment under this
paragraph (7.7) shall, after July 1 and before September
30 of each year, provide the municipality with convincing
evidence to support its claim for reimbursement before the
municipality shall be required to approve or make the
payment to the library district. If the library district
fails to provide the information during this period in any
year, it shall forfeit any claim to reimbursement for that
year. Library districts may adopt a resolution waiving the
right to all or a portion of the reimbursement otherwise
required by this paragraph (7.7). By acceptance of such
reimbursement, the library district shall forfeit any
right to directly or indirectly set aside, modify, or
contest in any manner whatsoever the establishment of the
redevelopment project area or projects;
(8) Relocation costs to the extent that a municipality
determines that relocation costs shall be paid or is
required to make payment of relocation costs by federal or
State law or in order to satisfy subparagraph (7) of

SB1391 - 47 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
subsection (n);
(9) Payment in lieu of taxes;
(10) Costs of job training, retraining, advanced
vocational education or career education, including but
not limited to courses in occupational, semi-technical or
technical fields leading directly to employment, incurred
by one or more taxing districts, provided that such costs
(i) are related to the establishment and maintenance of
additional job training, advanced vocational education or
career education programs for persons employed or to be
employed by employers located in a redevelopment project
area; and (ii) when incurred by a taxing district or
taxing districts other than the municipality, are set
forth in a written agreement by or among the municipality
and the taxing district or taxing districts, which
agreement describes the program to be undertaken,
including but not limited to the number of employees to be
trained, a description of the training and services to be
provided, the number and type of positions available or to
be available, itemized costs of the program and sources of
funds to pay for the same, and the term of the agreement.
Such costs include, specifically, the payment by community
college districts of costs pursuant to Sections 3-37,
3-38, 3-40 and 3-40.1 of the Public Community College Act
and by school districts of costs pursuant to Sections
10-22.20a and 10-23.3a of the School Code;

SB1391 - 48 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
(11) Interest cost incurred by a redeveloper related
to the construction, renovation or rehabilitation of a
redevelopment project provided that:
(A) such costs are to be paid directly from the
special tax allocation fund established pursuant to
this Act;
(B) such payments in any one year may not exceed
30% of the annual interest costs incurred by the
redeveloper with regard to the redevelopment project
during that year;
(C) if there are not sufficient funds available in
the special tax allocation fund to make the payment
pursuant to this paragraph (11) then the amounts so
due shall accrue and be payable when sufficient funds
are available in the special tax allocation fund;
(D) the total of such interest payments paid
pursuant to this Act may not exceed 30% of the total
(i) cost paid or incurred by the redeveloper for the
redevelopment project plus (ii) redevelopment project
costs excluding any property assembly costs and any
relocation costs incurred by a municipality pursuant
to this Act;
(E) the cost limits set forth in subparagraphs (B)
and (D) of paragraph (11) shall be modified for the
financing of rehabilitated or new housing units for
low-income households and very low-income households,

SB1391 - 49 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois Affordable
Housing Act. The percentage of 75% shall be
substituted for 30% in subparagraphs (B) and (D) of
paragraph (11); and
(F) instead of the eligible costs provided by
subparagraphs (B) and (D) of paragraph (11), as
modified by this subparagraph, and notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Act to the contrary, the
municipality may pay from tax increment revenues up to
50% of the cost of construction of new housing units to
be occupied by low-income households and very
low-income households as defined in Section 3 of the
Illinois Affordable Housing Act. The cost of
construction of those units may be derived from the
proceeds of bonds issued by the municipality under
this Act or other constitutional or statutory
authority or from other sources of municipal revenue
that may be reimbursed from tax increment revenues or
the proceeds of bonds issued to finance the
construction of that housing.
The eligible costs provided under this
subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11) shall be an
eligible cost for the construction, renovation, and
rehabilitation of all low and very low-income housing
units, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
Affordable Housing Act, within the redevelopment

SB1391 - 50 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
project area. If the low and very low-income units are
part of a residential redevelopment project that
includes units not affordable to low and very
low-income households, only the low and very
low-income units shall be eligible for benefits under
this subparagraph (F) of paragraph (11). The standards
for maintaining the occupancy by low-income households
and very low-income households, as defined in Section
3 of the Illinois Affordable Housing Act, of those
units constructed with eligible costs made available
under the provisions of this subparagraph (F) of
paragraph (11) shall be established by guidelines
adopted by the municipality. The responsibility for
annually documenting the initial occupancy of the
units by low-income households and very low-income
households, as defined in Section 3 of the Illinois
Affordable Housing Act, shall be that of the then
current owner of the property. For ownership units,
the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for a
reasonable recapture of funds, or other appropriate
methods designed to preserve the original
affordability of the ownership units. For rental
units, the guidelines will provide, at a minimum, for
the affordability of rent to low and very low-income
households. As units become available, they shall be
rented to income-eligible tenants. The municipality

SB1391 - 51 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
may modify these guidelines from time to time; the
guidelines, however, shall be in effect for as long as
tax increment revenue is being used to pay for costs
associated with the units or for the retirement of
bonds issued to finance the units or for the life of
the redevelopment project area, whichever is later;
(11.5) If the redevelopment project area is located
within a municipality with a population of more than
100,000, the cost of day care services for children of
employees from low-income families working for businesses
located within the redevelopment project area and all or a
portion of the cost of operation of day care centers
established by redevelopment project area businesses to
serve employees from low-income families working in
businesses located in the redevelopment project area. For
the purposes of this paragraph, "low-income families"
means families whose annual income does not exceed 80% of
the municipal, county, or regional median income, adjusted
for family size, as the annual income and municipal,
county, or regional median income are determined from time
to time by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development.
(12) Costs relating to the development of urban
agricultural areas under Division 15.2 of the Illinois
Municipal Code.
Unless explicitly stated herein the cost of construction

SB1391 - 52 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
of new privately-owned buildings shall not be an eligible
redevelopment project cost.
After November 1, 1999 (the effective date of Public Act
91-478), none of the redevelopment project costs enumerated in
this subsection shall be eligible redevelopment project costs
if those costs would provide direct financial support to a
retail entity initiating operations in the redevelopment
project area while terminating operations at another Illinois
location within 10 miles of the redevelopment project area but
outside the boundaries of the redevelopment project area
municipality. For purposes of this paragraph, termination
means a closing of a retail operation that is directly related
to the opening of the same operation or like retail entity
owned or operated by more than 50% of the original ownership in
a redevelopment project area, but it does not mean closing an
operation for reasons beyond the control of the retail entity,
as documented by the retail entity, subject to a reasonable
finding by the municipality that the current location
contained inadequate space, had become economically obsolete,
or was no longer a viable location for the retailer or
serviceman.
No cost shall be a redevelopment project cost in a
redevelopment project area if used to demolish, remove, or
substantially modify a historic resource, after August 26,
2008 (the effective date of Public Act 95-934), unless no
prudent and feasible alternative exists. "Historic resource"

SB1391 - 53 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
for the purpose of this paragraph means (i) a place or
structure that is included or eligible for inclusion on the
National Register of Historic Places or (ii) a contributing
structure in a district on the National Register of Historic
Places. This paragraph does not apply to a place or structure
for which demolition, removal, or modification is subject to
review by the preservation agency of a Certified Local
Government designated as such by the National Park Service of
the United States Department of the Interior.
If a special service area has been established pursuant to
the Special Service Area Tax Act or Special Service Area Tax
Law, then any tax increment revenues derived from the tax
imposed pursuant to the Special Service Area Tax Act or
Special Service Area Tax Law may be used within the
redevelopment project area for the purposes permitted by that
Act or Law as well as the purposes permitted by this Act.
(q-1) For redevelopment project areas created pursuant to
subsection (p-1), redevelopment project costs are limited to
those costs in paragraph (q) that are related to the existing
or proposed Regional Transportation Authority Suburban Transit
Access Route (STAR Line) station.
(q-2) For a transit facility improvement area established
prior to, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of the 102nd General Assembly: (i) "redevelopment project
costs" means those costs described in subsection (q) that are
related to the construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation,

SB1391 - 54 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
remodeling, or repair of any existing or proposed transit
facility, whether that facility is located within or outside
the boundaries of a redevelopment project area established
within that transit facility improvement area (and, to the
extent a redevelopment project cost is described in subsection
(q) as incurred or estimated to be incurred with respect to a
redevelopment project area, then it shall apply with respect
to such transit facility improvement area); and (ii) the
provisions of Section 11-74.4-8 regarding tax increment
allocation financing for a redevelopment project area located
in a transit facility improvement area shall apply only to the
lots, blocks, tracts and parcels of real property that are
located within the boundaries of that redevelopment project
area and not to the lots, blocks, tracts, and parcels of real
property that are located outside the boundaries of that
redevelopment project area.
(r) "State Sales Tax Boundary" means the redevelopment
project area or the amended redevelopment project area
boundaries which are determined pursuant to subsection (9) of
Section 11-74.4-8a of this Act. The Department of Revenue
shall certify pursuant to subsection (9) of Section 11-74.4-8a
the appropriate boundaries eligible for the determination of
State Sales Tax Increment.
(s) "State Sales Tax Increment" means an amount equal to
the increase in the aggregate amount of taxes paid by
retailers and servicemen, other than retailers and servicemen

SB1391 - 55 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
subject to the Public Utilities Act, on transactions at places
of business located within a State Sales Tax Boundary pursuant
to the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the
Service Use Tax Act, and the Service Occupation Tax Act,
except such portion of such increase that is paid into the
State and Local Sales Tax Reform Fund, the Local Government
Distributive Fund, the Local Government Tax Fund and the
County and Mass Transit District Fund, for as long as State
participation exists, over and above the Initial Sales Tax
Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised
Initial Sales Tax Amounts for such taxes as certified by the
Department of Revenue and paid under those Acts by retailers
and servicemen on transactions at places of business located
within the State Sales Tax Boundary during the base year which
shall be the calendar year immediately prior to the year in
which the municipality adopted tax increment allocation
financing, less 3.0% of such amounts generated under the
Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, Use Tax Act and Service Use Tax
Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act, which sum shall be
appropriated to the Department of Revenue to cover its costs
of administering and enforcing this Section. For purposes of
computing the aggregate amount of such taxes for base years
occurring prior to 1985, the Department of Revenue shall
compute the Initial Sales Tax Amount for such taxes and deduct
therefrom an amount equal to 4% of the aggregate amount of
taxes per year for each year the base year is prior to 1985,

SB1391 - 56 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
but not to exceed a total deduction of 12%. The amount so
determined shall be known as the "Adjusted Initial Sales Tax
Amount". For purposes of determining the State Sales Tax
Increment the Department of Revenue shall for each period
subtract from the tax amounts received from retailers and
servicemen on transactions located in the State Sales Tax
Boundary, the certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted
Initial Sales Tax Amounts or Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts
for the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act, the Use Tax Act, the
Service Use Tax Act and the Service Occupation Tax Act. For the
State Fiscal Year 1989 this calculation shall be made by
utilizing the calendar year 1987 to determine the tax amounts
received. For the State Fiscal Year 1990, this calculation
shall be made by utilizing the period from January 1, 1988,
until September 30, 1988, to determine the tax amounts
received from retailers and servicemen, which shall have
deducted therefrom nine-twelfths of the certified Initial
Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the
Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts as appropriate. For the
State Fiscal Year 1991, this calculation shall be made by
utilizing the period from October 1, 1988, until June 30,
1989, to determine the tax amounts received from retailers and
servicemen, which shall have deducted therefrom nine-twelfths
of the certified Initial State Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted
Initial Sales Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax
Amounts as appropriate. For every State Fiscal Year

SB1391 - 57 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
thereafter, the applicable period shall be the 12 months
beginning July 1 and ending on June 30, to determine the tax
amounts received which shall have deducted therefrom the
certified Initial Sales Tax Amounts, Adjusted Initial Sales
Tax Amounts or the Revised Initial Sales Tax Amounts.
Municipalities intending to receive a distribution of State
Sales Tax Increment must report a list of retailers to the
Department of Revenue by October 31, 1988 and by July 31, of
each year thereafter.
(t) "Taxing districts" means counties, townships, cities
and incorporated towns and villages, school, road, park,
sanitary, mosquito abatement, forest preserve, public health,
fire protection, river conservancy, tuberculosis sanitarium
and any other municipal corporations or districts with the
power to levy taxes.
(u) "Taxing districts' capital costs" means those costs of
taxing districts for capital improvements that are found by
the municipal corporate authorities to be necessary and
directly result from the redevelopment project.
(v) As used in subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-3 of this
Act, "vacant land" means any parcel or combination of parcels
of real property without industrial, commercial, and
residential buildings which has not been used for commercial
agricultural purposes within 5 years prior to the designation
of the redevelopment project area, unless the parcel is
included in an industrial park conservation area or the parcel

SB1391 - 58 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
has been subdivided; provided that if the parcel was part of a
larger tract that has been divided into 3 or more smaller
tracts that were accepted for recording during the period from
1950 to 1990, then the parcel shall be deemed to have been
subdivided, and all proceedings and actions of the
municipality taken in that connection with respect to any
previously approved or designated redevelopment project area
or amended redevelopment project area are hereby validated and
hereby declared to be legally sufficient for all purposes of
this Act. For purposes of this Section and only for land
subject to the subdivision requirements of the Plat Act, land
is subdivided when the original plat of the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area or relevant portion thereof has
been properly certified, acknowledged, approved, and recorded
or filed in accordance with the Plat Act and a preliminary
plat, if any, for any subsequent phases of the proposed
Redevelopment Project Area or relevant portion thereof has
been properly approved and filed in accordance with the
applicable ordinance of the municipality.
(w) "Annual Total Increment" means the sum of each
municipality's annual Net Sales Tax Increment and each
municipality's annual Net Utility Tax Increment. The ratio of
the Annual Total Increment of each municipality to the Annual
Total Increment for all municipalities, as most recently
calculated by the Department, shall determine the proportional
shares of the Illinois Tax Increment Fund to be distributed to

SB1391 - 59 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
each municipality.
(x) "LEED certified" means any certification level of
construction elements by a qualified Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design Accredited Professional as determined by
the U.S. Green Building Council.

(65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-5) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-5)
Sec. 11-74.4-5. Public hearing; joint review board.
(a) The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 91st
General Assembly do not apply to a municipality that, (i)
before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
General Assembly, has adopted an ordinance or resolution
fixing a time and place for a public hearing under this Section

SB1391 - 90 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
or (ii) before July 1, 1999, has adopted an ordinance or
resolution providing for a feasibility study under Section
11-74.4-4.1, but has not yet adopted an ordinance approving
redevelopment plans and redevelopment projects or designating
redevelopment project areas under Section 11-74.4-4, until
after that municipality adopts an ordinance approving
redevelopment plans and redevelopment projects or designating
redevelopment project areas under Section 11-74.4-4;
thereafter the changes made by this amendatory Act of the 91st
General Assembly apply to the same extent that they apply to
redevelopment plans and redevelopment projects that were
approved and redevelopment projects that were designated
before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 91st
General Assembly.
Prior to the adoption of an ordinance proposing the
designation of a redevelopment project area, or approving a
redevelopment plan or redevelopment project, the municipality
by its corporate authorities, or as it may determine by any
commission designated under subsection (k) of Section
11-74.4-4 shall adopt an ordinance or resolution fixing a time
and place for public hearing. At least 10 days prior to the
adoption of the ordinance or resolution establishing the time
and place for the public hearing, the municipality shall make
available for public inspection a redevelopment plan or a
separate report that provides in reasonable detail the basis
for the eligibility of the redevelopment project area. The

SB1391 - 91 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
report along with the name of a person to contact for further
information shall be sent within a reasonable time after the
adoption of such ordinance or resolution to the affected
taxing districts by certified mail. On and after the effective
date of this amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, the
municipality shall print in a newspaper of general circulation
within the municipality a notice that interested persons may
register with the municipality in order to receive information
on the proposed designation of a redevelopment project area or
the approval of a redevelopment plan. The notice shall state
the place of registration and the operating hours of that
place. The municipality shall have adopted reasonable rules to
implement this registration process under Section 11-74.4-4.2.
The municipality shall provide notice of the availability of
the redevelopment plan and eligibility report, including how
to obtain this information, by mail within a reasonable time
after the adoption of the ordinance or resolution, to all
residential addresses that, after a good faith effort, the
municipality determines are located outside the proposed
redevelopment project area and within 750 feet of the
boundaries of the proposed redevelopment project area. This
requirement is subject to the limitation that in a
municipality with a population of over 100,000, if the total
number of residential addresses outside the proposed
redevelopment project area and within 750 feet of the
boundaries of the proposed redevelopment project area exceeds

SB1391 - 92 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
750, the municipality shall be required to provide the notice
to only the 750 residential addresses that, after a good faith
effort, the municipality determines are outside the proposed
redevelopment project area and closest to the boundaries of
the proposed redevelopment project area. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, notice given after August 7, 2001 (the effective
date of Public Act 92-263) and before the effective date of
this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly to
residential addresses within 750 feet of the boundaries of a
proposed redevelopment project area shall be deemed to have
been sufficiently given in compliance with this Act if given
only to residents outside the boundaries of the proposed
redevelopment project area. The notice shall also be provided
by the municipality, regardless of its population, to those
organizations and residents that have registered with the
municipality for that information in accordance with the
registration guidelines established by the municipality under
Section 11-74.4-4.2.
At the public hearing any interested person or affected
taxing district may file with the municipal clerk written
objections to and may be heard orally in respect to any issues
embodied in the notice. The municipality shall hear all
protests and objections at the hearing and the hearing may be
adjourned to another date without further notice other than a
motion to be entered upon the minutes fixing the time and place
of the subsequent hearing. At the public hearing or at any time

SB1391 - 93 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
prior to the adoption by the municipality of an ordinance
approving a redevelopment plan, the municipality may make
changes in the redevelopment plan. Changes which (1) add
additional parcels of property to the proposed redevelopment
project area, (2) substantially affect the general land uses
proposed in the redevelopment plan, (3) substantially change
the nature of or extend the life of the redevelopment project,
or (4) increase the number of inhabited residential units to
be displaced from the redevelopment project area, as measured
from the time of creation of the redevelopment project area,
to a total of more than 10, shall be made only after the
municipality gives notice, convenes a joint review board, and
conducts a public hearing pursuant to the procedures set forth
in this Section and in Section 11-74.4-6 of this Act. Changes
which do not (1) add additional parcels of property to the
proposed redevelopment project area, (2) substantially affect
the general land uses proposed in the redevelopment plan, (3)
substantially change the nature of or extend the life of the
redevelopment project, or (4) increase the number of inhabited
residential units to be displaced from the redevelopment
project area, as measured from the time of creation of the
redevelopment project area, to a total of more than 10, may be
made without further hearing, provided that the municipality
shall give notice of any such changes by mail to each affected
taxing district and registrant on the interested parties
registry, provided for under Section 11-74.4-4.2, and by

SB1391 - 94 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
publication in a newspaper of general circulation within the
affected taxing district. Such notice by mail and by
publication shall each occur not later than 10 days following
the adoption by ordinance of such changes. Hearings with
regard to a redevelopment project area, project or plan may be
held simultaneously.
(b) Prior to holding a public hearing to approve or amend a
redevelopment plan or to designate or add additional parcels
of property to a redevelopment project area, the municipality
shall convene a joint review board. The board shall consist of
a representative selected by each community college district,
local elementary school district and high school district or
each local community unit school district, park district,
library district, township, fire protection district, and
county that will have the authority to directly levy taxes on
the property within the proposed redevelopment project area at
the time that the proposed redevelopment project area is
approved, a representative selected by the municipality and a
public member. The joint review board shall also include as
nonvoting members of the board (i) a representative from a
nonprofit organization that provides business resources and
support to businesses, appointed by the mayor or president of
the municipality, and (ii) each township highway commissioner
of a road district located in whole or in part inside the
proposed redevelopment project area. The public member shall
first be selected and then the board's chairperson shall be

SB1391 - 95 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
selected by a majority of the board members present and
voting.
For redevelopment project areas with redevelopment plans
or proposed redevelopment plans that would result in the
displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited
residential units or that include 75 or more inhabited
residential units, the public member shall be a person who
resides in the redevelopment project area. If, as determined
by the housing impact study provided for in paragraph (5) of
subsection (n) of Section 11-74.4-3, or if no housing impact
study is required then based on other reasonable data, the
majority of residential units are occupied by very low, low,
or moderate income households, as defined in Section 3 of the
Illinois Affordable Housing Act, the public member shall be a
person who resides in very low, low, or moderate income
housing within the redevelopment project area. Municipalities
with fewer than 15,000 residents shall not be required to
select a person who lives in very low, low, or moderate income
housing within the redevelopment project area, provided that
the redevelopment plan or project will not result in
displacement of residents from 10 or more inhabited units, and
the municipality so certifies in the plan. If no person
satisfying these requirements is available or if no qualified
person will serve as the public member, then the joint review
board is relieved of this paragraph's selection requirements
for the public member.

SB1391 - 96 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
Within 90 days of the effective date of this amendatory
Act of the 91st General Assembly, each municipality that
designated a redevelopment project area for which it was not
required to convene a joint review board under this Section
shall convene a joint review board to perform the duties
specified under paragraph (e) of this Section.
All board members shall be appointed and the first board
meeting shall be held at least 14 days but not more than 28
days after the mailing of notice by the municipality to the
taxing districts as required by Section 11-74.4-6(c).
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a municipality that
adopted either a public hearing resolution or a feasibility
resolution between July 1, 1999 and July 1, 2000 that called
for the meeting of the joint review board within 14 days of
notice of public hearing to affected taxing districts is
deemed to be in compliance with the notice, meeting, and
public hearing provisions of the Act. Such notice shall also
advise the taxing bodies represented on the joint review board
of the time and place of the first meeting of the board.
Additional meetings of the board shall be held upon the call of
any member. The municipality seeking designation of the
redevelopment project area shall provide administrative
support to the board.
The board shall review (i) the public record, planning
documents and proposed ordinances approving the redevelopment
plan and project and (ii) proposed amendments to the

SB1391 - 97 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
redevelopment plan or additions of parcels of property to the
redevelopment project area to be adopted by the municipality.
As part of its deliberations, the board may hold additional
hearings on the proposal. A board's recommendation shall be an
advisory, non-binding recommendation. The recommendation shall
be adopted by a majority of those members present and voting.
The recommendations shall be submitted to the municipality
within 30 days after convening of the board. Failure of the
board to submit its report on a timely basis shall not be cause
to delay the public hearing or any other step in the process of
designating or amending the redevelopment project area but
shall be deemed to constitute approval by the joint review
board of the matters before it.
The board shall base its recommendation to approve or
disapprove the redevelopment plan and the designation of the
redevelopment project area or the amendment of the
redevelopment plan or addition of parcels of property to the
redevelopment project area on the basis of the redevelopment
project area and redevelopment plan satisfying the plan
requirements, the eligibility criteria defined in Section
11-74.4-3, and the objectives of this Act.
The board shall issue a written report describing why the
redevelopment plan and project area or the amendment thereof
meets or fails to meet one or more of the objectives of this
Act and both the plan requirements and the eligibility
criteria defined in Section 11-74.4-3. In the event the Board

SB1391 - 98 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
does not file a report it shall be presumed that these taxing
bodies find the redevelopment project area and redevelopment
plan satisfy the objectives of this Act and the plan
requirements and eligibility criteria.
If the board recommends rejection of the matters before
it, the municipality will have 30 days within which to
resubmit the plan or amendment. During this period, the
municipality will meet and confer with the board and attempt
to resolve those issues set forth in the board's written
report that led to the rejection of the plan or amendment.
Notwithstanding the resubmission set forth above, the
municipality may commence the scheduled public hearing and
either adjourn the public hearing or continue the public
hearing until a date certain. Prior to continuing any public
hearing to a date certain, the municipality shall announce
during the public hearing the time, date, and location for the
reconvening of the public hearing. Any changes to the
redevelopment plan necessary to satisfy the issues set forth
in the joint review board report shall be the subject of a
public hearing before the hearing is adjourned if the changes
would (1) substantially affect the general land uses proposed
in the redevelopment plan, (2) substantially change the nature
of or extend the life of the redevelopment project, or (3)
increase the number of inhabited residential units to be
displaced from the redevelopment project area, as measured
from the time of creation of the redevelopment project area,

SB1391 - 99 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
to a total of more than 10. Changes to the redevelopment plan
necessary to satisfy the issues set forth in the joint review
board report shall not require any further notice or convening
of a joint review board meeting, except that any changes to the
redevelopment plan that would add additional parcels of
property to the proposed redevelopment project area shall be
subject to the notice, public hearing, and joint review board
meeting requirements established for such changes by
subsection (a) of Section 11-74.4-5.
In the event that the municipality and the board are
unable to resolve these differences, or in the event that the
resubmitted plan or amendment is rejected by the board, the
municipality may proceed with the plan or amendment, but only
upon a three-fifths vote of the corporate authority
responsible for approval of the plan or amendment, excluding
positions of members that are vacant and those members that
are ineligible to vote because of conflicts of interest.
After the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
103rd General Assembly, a municipality may not approve a new
redevelopment project area that overlaps with an existing
redevelopment project area or an expansion of a redevelopment
project area so that the expanded area will overlap with an
existing redevelopment project area.
(c) After a municipality has by ordinance approved a
redevelopment plan and designated a redevelopment project
area, the plan may be amended and additional properties may be

SB1391 - 100 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
added to the redevelopment project area only as herein
provided. Amendments which (1) add additional parcels of
property to the proposed redevelopment project area, (2)
substantially affect the general land uses proposed in the
redevelopment plan, (3) substantially change the nature of the
redevelopment project, (4) increase the total estimated
redevelopment project costs set out in the redevelopment plan
by more than 5% after adjustment for inflation from the date
the plan was adopted, (5) add additional redevelopment project
costs to the itemized list of redevelopment project costs set
out in the redevelopment plan, or (6) increase the number of
inhabited residential units to be displaced from the
redevelopment project area, as measured from the time of
creation of the redevelopment project area, to a total of more
than 10, shall be made only after the municipality gives
notice, convenes a joint review board, and conducts a public
hearing pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section
and in Section 11-74.4-6 of this Act. Changes which do not (1)
add additional parcels of property to the proposed
redevelopment project area, (2) substantially affect the
general land uses proposed in the redevelopment plan, (3)
substantially change the nature of the redevelopment project,
(4) increase the total estimated redevelopment project cost
set out in the redevelopment plan by more than 5% after
adjustment for inflation from the date the plan was adopted,
(5) add additional redevelopment project costs to the itemized

SB1391 - 101 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
list of redevelopment project costs set out in the
redevelopment plan, or (6) increase the number of inhabited
residential units to be displaced from the redevelopment
project area, as measured from the time of creation of the
redevelopment project area, to a total of more than 10, may be
made without further public hearing and related notices and
procedures including the convening of a joint review board as
set forth in Section 11-74.4-6 of this Act, provided that the
municipality shall give notice of any such changes by mail to
each affected taxing district and registrant on the interested
parties registry, provided for under Section 11-74.4-4.2, and
by publication in a newspaper of general circulation within
the affected taxing district. Such notice by mail and by
publication shall each occur not later than 10 days following
the adoption by ordinance of such changes.
(d) After the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
91st General Assembly, a municipality shall submit in an
electronic format the following information for each
redevelopment project area (i) to the State Comptroller under
Section 8-8-3.5 of the Illinois Municipal Code, subject to any
extensions or exemptions provided at the Comptroller's
discretion under that Section, and (ii) to all taxing
districts overlapping the redevelopment project area no later
than 180 days after the close of each municipal fiscal year or
as soon thereafter as the audited financial statements become
available and, in any case, shall be submitted before the

SB1391 - 102 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b

anticipated redevelopment project costs. Any portion
of such ending balance that has not been identified or
is not identified as being required, pledged,
earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment of or
securing of obligations or anticipated redevelopment
projects costs shall be designated as surplus as set
forth in Section 11-74.4-7 hereof.

(g) In the event that a municipality has held a public
hearing under this Section prior to March 14, 1994 (the
effective date of Public Act 88-537), the requirements imposed
by Public Act 88-537 relating to the method of fixing the time
and place for public hearing, the materials and information
required to be made available for public inspection, and the
information required to be sent after adoption of an ordinance
or resolution fixing a time and place for public hearing shall
not be applicable.

(65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-7) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-7)
Sec. 11-74.4-7. Obligations secured by the special tax
allocation fund set forth in Section 11-74.4-8 for the
redevelopment project area may be issued to provide for
redevelopment project costs. Such obligations, when so issued,
shall be retired in the manner provided in the ordinance
authorizing the issuance of such obligations by the receipts
of taxes levied as specified in Section 11-74.4-9 against the
taxable property included in the area, by revenues as
specified by Section 11-74.4-8a and other revenue designated
by the municipality. Except for the moneys designated for a
chamber of commerce under subsection (b) of Section 11-74.4-8,
a A municipality may in the ordinance pledge all or any part of
the funds in and to be deposited in the special tax allocation
fund created pursuant to Section 11-74.4-8 to the payment of
the redevelopment project costs and obligations. Any pledge of
funds in the special tax allocation fund shall provide for
distribution to the taxing districts and to the Illinois
Department of Revenue of moneys not required, pledged,
earmarked, or otherwise designated for payment, including

SB1391 - 111 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
unused and unpledged moneys returned to a municipality by a
chamber of commerce under subsection (b) of Section 11-74.4-8,
and securing of the obligations and anticipated redevelopment
project costs and such excess funds shall be calculated
annually and deemed to be "surplus" funds. In the event a
municipality only applies or pledges a portion of the funds in
the special tax allocation fund for the payment or securing of
anticipated redevelopment project costs or of obligations, any
such funds remaining in the special tax allocation fund after
complying with the requirements of the application or pledge,
shall also be calculated annually and deemed "surplus" funds.
All surplus funds in the special tax allocation fund shall be
distributed annually within 180 days after the close of the
municipality's fiscal year by being paid by the municipal
treasurer to the County Collector, to the Department of
Revenue and to the municipality in direct proportion to the
tax incremental revenue received as a result of an increase in
the equalized assessed value of property in the redevelopment
project area, tax incremental revenue received from the State
and tax incremental revenue received from the municipality,
but not to exceed as to each such source the total incremental
revenue received from that source. The County Collector shall
thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing
districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent
distribution by the county collector to the affected districts
of real property taxes from real property in the redevelopment

SB1391 - 112 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
project area.
Without limiting the foregoing in this Section, the
municipality may in addition to obligations secured by the
special tax allocation fund pledge for a period not greater
than the term of the obligations towards payment of such
obligations any part or any combination of the following: (a)
net revenues of all or part of any redevelopment project; (b)
taxes levied and collected on any or all property in the
municipality; (c) the full faith and credit of the
municipality; (d) a mortgage on part or all of the
redevelopment project; (d-5) repayment of bonds issued
pursuant to subsection (p-130) of Section 19-1 of the School
Code; or (e) any other taxes or anticipated receipts that the
municipality may lawfully pledge.
Such obligations may be issued in one or more series
bearing interest at such rate or rates as the corporate
authorities of the municipality shall determine by ordinance.
Such obligations shall bear such date or dates, mature at such
time or times not exceeding 20 years from their respective
dates, be in such denomination, carry such registration
privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such
medium of payment at such place or places, contain such
covenants, terms and conditions, and be subject to redemption
as such ordinance shall provide. Obligations issued pursuant
to this Act may be sold at public or private sale at such price
as shall be determined by the corporate authorities of the

SB1391 - 113 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
municipalities. No referendum approval of the electors shall
be required as a condition to the issuance of obligations
pursuant to this Division except as provided in this Section.
In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
obligations pursuant to the authority of this Division secured
by the full faith and credit of the municipality, which
obligations are other than obligations which may be issued
under home rule powers provided by Article VII, Section 6 of
the Illinois Constitution, or pledges taxes pursuant to (b) or
(c) of the second paragraph of this section, the ordinance
authorizing the issuance of such obligations or pledging such
taxes shall be published within 10 days after such ordinance
has been passed in one or more newspapers, with general
circulation within such municipality. The publication of the
ordinance shall be accompanied by a notice of (1) the specific
number of voters required to sign a petition requesting the
question of the issuance of such obligations or pledging taxes
to be submitted to the electors; (2) the time in which such
petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective
referendum. The municipal clerk shall provide a petition form
to any individual requesting one.
If no petition is filed with the municipal clerk, as
hereinafter provided in this Section, within 30 days after the
publication of the ordinance, the ordinance shall be in
effect. But, if within that 30 day period a petition is filed
with the municipal clerk, signed by electors in the

SB1391 - 114 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
municipality numbering 10% or more of the number of registered
voters in the municipality, asking that the question of
issuing obligations using full faith and credit of the
municipality as security for the cost of paying for
redevelopment project costs, or of pledging taxes for the
payment of such obligations, or both, be submitted to the
electors of the municipality, the corporate authorities of the
municipality shall call a special election in the manner
provided by law to vote upon that question, or, if a general,
State or municipal election is to be held within a period of
not less than 30 or more than 90 days from the date such
petition is filed, shall submit the question at the next
general, State or municipal election. If it appears upon the
canvass of the election by the corporate authorities that a
majority of electors voting upon the question voted in favor
thereof, the ordinance shall be in effect, but if a majority of
the electors voting upon the question are not in favor
thereof, the ordinance shall not take effect.
The ordinance authorizing the obligations may provide that
the obligations shall contain a recital that they are issued
pursuant to this Division, which recital shall be conclusive
evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their
issuance.
In the event the municipality authorizes issuance of
obligations pursuant to this Section secured by the full faith
and credit of the municipality, the ordinance authorizing the

SB1391 - 115 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
obligations may provide for the levy and collection of a
direct annual tax upon all taxable property within the
municipality sufficient to pay the principal thereof and
interest thereon as it matures, which levy may be in addition
to and exclusive of the maximum of all other taxes authorized
to be levied by the municipality, which levy, however, shall
be abated to the extent that monies from other sources are
available for payment of the obligations and the municipality
certifies the amount of said monies available to the county
clerk.
A certified copy of such ordinance shall be filed with the
county clerk of each county in which any portion of the
municipality is situated, and shall constitute the authority
for the extension and collection of the taxes to be deposited
in the special tax allocation fund.
A municipality may also issue its obligations to refund in
whole or in part, obligations theretofore issued by such
municipality under the authority of this Act, whether at or
prior to maturity, provided however, that the last maturity of
the refunding obligations may not be later than the dates set
forth under Section 11-74.4-3.5.
In the event a municipality issues obligations under home
rule powers or other legislative authority the proceeds of
which are pledged to pay for redevelopment project costs, the
municipality may, if it has followed the procedures in
conformance with this division, retire said obligations from

SB1391 - 116 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
funds in the special tax allocation fund in amounts and in such
manner as if such obligations had been issued pursuant to the
provisions of this division.
All obligations heretofore or hereafter issued pursuant to
this Act shall not be regarded as indebtedness of the
municipality issuing such obligations or any other taxing
district for the purpose of any limitation imposed by law.

(65 ILCS 5/11-74.4-8) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-74.4-8)
Sec. 11-74.4-8. Tax increment allocation financing. A
municipality may not adopt tax increment financing in a
redevelopment project area after July 30, 1997 (the effective
date of Public Act 90-258) that will encompass an area that is
currently included in an enterprise zone created under the
Illinois Enterprise Zone Act unless that municipality,
pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act,
amends the enterprise zone designating ordinance to limit the
eligibility for tax abatements as provided in Section 5.4.1 of
the Illinois Enterprise Zone Act. A municipality, at the time
a redevelopment project area is designated, may adopt tax
increment allocation financing by passing an ordinance
providing that the ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from the
levies upon taxable real property in such redevelopment
project area by taxing districts and tax rates determined in
the manner provided in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 each

SB1391 - 117 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
year after the effective date of the ordinance until
redevelopment project costs and all municipal obligations
financing redevelopment project costs incurred under this
Division have been paid shall be divided as follows, provided,
however, that with respect to any redevelopment project area
located within a transit facility improvement area established
pursuant to Section 11-74.4-3.3 in a municipality with a
population of 1,000,000 or more, ad valorem taxes, if any,
arising from the levies upon taxable real property in such
redevelopment project area shall be allocated as specifically
provided in this Section:
(a) That portion of taxes levied upon each taxable
lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property which is
attributable to the lower of the current equalized
assessed value or the initial equalized assessed value of
each such taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real
property in the redevelopment project area shall be
allocated to and when collected shall be paid by the
county collector to the respective affected taxing
districts in the manner required by law in the absence of
the adoption of tax increment allocation financing.
(b) Except from a tax levied by a township to retire
bonds issued to satisfy court-ordered damages and except
as otherwise provided in this Section, that portion, if
any, of such taxes which is attributable to the increase
in the current equalized assessed valuation of each

SB1391 - 118 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property in
the redevelopment project area over and above the initial
equalized assessed value of each property in the project
area shall be allocated to and when collected shall be
paid to the municipal treasurer who shall deposit said
taxes into a special fund called the special tax
allocation fund of the municipality. The moneys deposited
into the special tax allocation fund shall be used as
follows: (1) 90% of the moneys deposited shall be used for
the purpose of paying redevelopment project costs and
obligations incurred in the payment thereof; and (2) 10%
of the moneys deposited shall be transferred, by the
municipal treasurer, to the local chamber of commerce or
chambers of commerce representing the redevelopment
project area no later than 30 days after each deposit to
the tax allocation fund. Before any moneys are transferred
to a chamber of commerce, the municipality must enter into
a contract with the chamber of commerce under which the
chamber of commerce promises to (i) use the moneys
transferred to it for grants to businesses that employee
fewer than 50 full-time employees if the business moves
into the redevelopment project area and (ii) return to the
municipality any moneys that are not granted or pledged to
a business described in subparagraph (i) within one year
of receipt of the moneys.
In any county with a population of 3,000,000 or more

SB1391 - 119 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
that has adopted a procedure for collecting taxes that
provides for one or more of the installments of the taxes
to be billed and collected on an estimated basis, the
municipal treasurer shall be paid for deposit in the
special tax allocation fund of the municipality, from the
taxes collected from estimated bills issued for property
in the redevelopment project area, the difference between
the amount actually collected from each taxable lot,
block, tract, or parcel of real property within the
redevelopment project area and an amount determined by
multiplying the rate at which taxes were last extended
against the taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real
property in the manner provided in subsection (c) of
Section 11-74.4-9 by the initial equalized assessed value
of the property divided by the number of installments in
which real estate taxes are billed and collected within
the county; provided that the payments on or before
December 31, 1999 to a municipal treasurer shall be made
only if each of the following conditions are met:
(1) The total equalized assessed value of the
redevelopment project area as last determined was not
less than 175% of the total initial equalized assessed
value.
(2) Not more than 50% of the total equalized
assessed value of the redevelopment project area as
last determined is attributable to a piece of property

SB1391 - 120 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
assigned a single real estate index number.
(3) The municipal clerk has certified to the
county clerk that the municipality has issued its
obligations to which there has been pledged the
incremental property taxes of the redevelopment
project area or taxes levied and collected on any or
all property in the municipality or the full faith and
credit of the municipality to pay or secure payment
for all or a portion of the redevelopment project
costs. The certification shall be filed annually no
later than September 1 for the estimated taxes to be
distributed in the following year; however, for the
year 1992 the certification shall be made at any time
on or before March 31, 1992.
(4) The municipality has not requested that the
total initial equalized assessed value of real
property be adjusted as provided in subsection (b) of
Section 11-74.4-9.
The conditions of paragraphs (1) through (4) do not
apply after December 31, 1999 to payments to a municipal
treasurer made by a county with 3,000,000 or more
inhabitants that has adopted an estimated billing
procedure for collecting taxes. If a county that has
adopted the estimated billing procedure makes an erroneous
overpayment of tax revenue to the municipal treasurer,
then the county may seek a refund of that overpayment. The

SB1391 - 121 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
county shall send the municipal treasurer a notice of
liability for the overpayment on or before the mailing
date of the next real estate tax bill within the county.
The refund shall be limited to the amount of the
overpayment.
It is the intent of this Division that after July 29,
1988 (the effective date of Public Act 85-1142) a
municipality's own ad valorem tax arising from levies on
taxable real property be included in the determination of
incremental revenue in the manner provided in paragraph
(c) of Section 11-74.4-9. If the municipality does not
extend such a tax, it shall annually deposit in the
municipality's Special Tax Increment Fund an amount equal
to 10% of the total contributions to the fund from all
other taxing districts in that year. The annual 10%
deposit required by this paragraph shall be limited to the
actual amount of municipally produced incremental tax
revenues available to the municipality from taxpayers
located in the redevelopment project area in that year if:
(a) the plan for the area restricts the use of the property
primarily to industrial purposes, (b) the municipality
establishing the redevelopment project area is a home rule
community with a 1990 population of between 25,000 and
50,000, (c) the municipality is wholly located within a
county with a 1990 population of over 750,000 and (d) the
redevelopment project area was established by the

SB1391 - 122 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
municipality prior to June 1, 1990. This payment shall be
in lieu of a contribution of ad valorem taxes on real
property. If no such payment is made, any redevelopment
project area of the municipality shall be dissolved.
If a municipality has adopted tax increment allocation
financing by ordinance and the County Clerk thereafter
certifies the "total initial equalized assessed value as
adjusted" of the taxable real property within such
redevelopment project area in the manner provided in
paragraph (b) of Section 11-74.4-9, each year after the
date of the certification of the total initial equalized
assessed value as adjusted until redevelopment project
costs and all municipal obligations financing
redevelopment project costs have been paid the ad valorem
taxes, if any, arising from the levies upon the taxable
real property in such redevelopment project area by taxing
districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided
in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 shall be divided as
follows, provided, however, that with respect to any
redevelopment project area located within a transit
facility improvement area established pursuant to Section
11-74.4-3.3 in a municipality with a population of
1,000,000 or more, ad valorem taxes, if any, arising from
the levies upon the taxable real property in such
redevelopment project area shall be allocated as
specifically provided in this Section:

SB1391 - 123 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
(1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each
taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
which is attributable to the lower of the current
equalized assessed value or "current equalized
assessed value as adjusted" or the initial equalized
assessed value of each such taxable lot, block, tract,
or parcel of real property existing at the time tax
increment financing was adopted, minus the total
current homestead exemptions under Article 15 of the
Property Tax Code in the redevelopment project area,
shall be allocated to and when collected shall be paid
by the county collector to the respective affected
taxing districts in the manner required by law in the
absence of the adoption of tax increment allocation
financing.
(1.5) If a taxing district that is a school
district or community college district has not
provided written support to the county collector in
favor of adoption of the redevelopment project area,
that portion, if any, of such taxes which is
attributable to the increase in the current equalized
assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract,
or parcel of real property in the redevelopment
project area, over and above the initial equalized
assessed value of each property existing at the time
tax increment financing was adopted, minus the total

SB1391 - 124 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
current homestead exemptions pertaining to each piece
of property provided by Article 15 of the Property Tax
Code in the redevelopment project area, shall be
allocated to and when collected shall be paid by the
county collector to the school district or community
college district, as applicable, in the manner
required by law in the absence of the adoption of tax
increment allocation financing.
(2) Except as provided in paragraph (1.5), that
That portion, if any, of such taxes which is
attributable to the increase in the current equalized
assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract,
or parcel of real property in the redevelopment
project area, over and above the initial equalized
assessed value of each property existing at the time
tax increment financing was adopted, minus the total
current homestead exemptions pertaining to each piece
of property provided by Article 15 of the Property Tax
Code in the redevelopment project area, shall be
allocated to and when collected shall be paid to the
municipal Treasurer, who shall deposit said taxes into
a special fund called the special tax allocation fund
of the municipality for the purpose of paying
redevelopment project costs and obligations incurred
in the payment thereof.
The municipality may pledge in the ordinance the funds

SB1391 - 125 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
in and to be deposited in the special tax allocation fund
for the payment of such costs and obligations. No part of
the current equalized assessed valuation of each property
in the redevelopment project area attributable to any
increase above the total initial equalized assessed value,
or the total initial equalized assessed value as adjusted,
of such properties shall be used in calculating the
general State aid formula, provided for in Section 18-8 of
the School Code, or the evidence-based funding formula,
provided for in Section 18-8.15 of the School Code, until
such time as all redevelopment project costs have been
paid as provided for in this Section.
Whenever a municipality issues bonds for the purpose
of financing redevelopment project costs, such
municipality may provide by ordinance for the appointment
of a trustee, which may be any trust company within the
State, and for the establishment of such funds or accounts
to be maintained by such trustee as the municipality shall
deem necessary to provide for the security and payment of
the bonds. If such municipality provides for the
appointment of a trustee, such trustee shall be considered
the assignee of any payments assigned by the municipality
pursuant to such ordinance and this Section. Any amounts
paid to such trustee as assignee shall be deposited in the
funds or accounts established pursuant to such trust
agreement, and shall be held by such trustee in trust for

SB1391 - 126 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
the benefit of the holders of the bonds, and such holders
shall have a lien on and a security interest in such funds
or accounts so long as the bonds remain outstanding and
unpaid. Upon retirement of the bonds, the trustee shall
pay over any excess amounts held to the municipality for
deposit in the special tax allocation fund.
When such redevelopment projects costs, including,
without limitation, all municipal obligations financing
redevelopment project costs incurred under this Division,
have been paid, all surplus funds then remaining in the
special tax allocation fund shall be distributed by being
paid by the municipal treasurer to the Department of
Revenue, the municipality and the county collector; first
to the Department of Revenue and the municipality in
direct proportion to the tax incremental revenue received
from the State and the municipality, but not to exceed the
total incremental revenue received from the State or the
municipality less any annual surplus distribution of
incremental revenue previously made; with any remaining
funds to be paid to the County Collector who shall
immediately thereafter pay said funds to the taxing
districts in the redevelopment project area in the same
manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by
the county collector to the affected districts of real
property taxes from real property in the redevelopment
project area.

SB1391 - 127 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no surplus
funds then remaining in the special tax allocation fund
may be transferred or paid to any other redevelopment
project area, except for any funds transferred or paid
pursuant to an ongoing agreement between municipalities
under subsection (p) of Section 11-74.4-4.
Upon the payment of all redevelopment project costs,
the retirement of obligations, the distribution of any
excess monies pursuant to this Section, and final closing
of the books and records of the redevelopment project
area, the municipality shall adopt an ordinance dissolving
the special tax allocation fund for the redevelopment
project area and terminating the designation of the
redevelopment project area as a redevelopment project
area. Title to real or personal property and public
improvements acquired by or for the municipality as a
result of the redevelopment project and plan shall vest in
the municipality when acquired and shall continue to be
held by the municipality after the redevelopment project
area has been terminated. Municipalities shall notify
affected taxing districts prior to November 1 if the
redevelopment project area is to be terminated by December
31 of that same year. If a municipality extends estimated
dates of completion of a redevelopment project and
retirement of obligations to finance a redevelopment
project, as allowed by Public Act 87-1272, that extension

SB1391 - 128 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
shall not extend the property tax increment allocation
financing authorized by this Section. Thereafter the rates
of the taxing districts shall be extended and taxes
levied, collected and distributed in the manner applicable
in the absence of the adoption of tax increment allocation
financing.
If a municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or
more has adopted by ordinance tax increment allocation
financing for a redevelopment project area located in a
transit facility improvement area established pursuant to
Section 11-74.4-3.3, for each year after the effective
date of the ordinance until redevelopment project costs
and all municipal obligations financing redevelopment
project costs have been paid, the ad valorem taxes, if
any, arising from the levies upon the taxable real
property in that redevelopment project area by taxing
districts and tax rates determined in the manner provided
in paragraph (c) of Section 11-74.4-9 shall be divided as
follows:
(1) That portion of the taxes levied upon each
taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property
which is attributable to the lower of (i) the current
equalized assessed value or "current equalized
assessed value as adjusted" or (ii) the initial
equalized assessed value of each such taxable lot,
block, tract, or parcel of real property existing at

SB1391 - 129 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
the time tax increment financing was adopted, minus
the total current homestead exemptions under Article
15 of the Property Tax Code in the redevelopment
project area, shall be allocated to and when collected
shall be paid by the county collector to the
respective affected taxing districts in the manner
required by law in the absence of the adoption of tax
increment allocation financing.
(2) That portion, if any, of such taxes which is
attributable to the increase in the current equalized
assessed valuation of each taxable lot, block, tract,
or parcel of real property in the redevelopment
project area, over and above the initial equalized
assessed value of each property existing at the time
tax increment financing was adopted, minus the total
current homestead exemptions pertaining to each piece
of property provided by Article 15 of the Property Tax
Code in the redevelopment project area, shall be
allocated to and when collected shall be paid by the
county collector as follows:
(A) First, that portion which would be payable
to a school district whose boundaries are
coterminous with such municipality in the absence
of the adoption of tax increment allocation
financing, shall be paid to such school district
in the manner required by law in the absence of the

SB1391 - 130 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
adoption of tax increment allocation financing;
then
(A-5) Second, if a taxing district that is a
school district that is not coterminous with such
municipality or a community college district has
not provided written support to the county
collector in favor of adoption of the
redevelopment project area, then that portion
which would be payable to the community college
district or school district, as applicable, in the
absence of the adoption of tax increment
allocation financing, shall be paid to the school
district or community college district in the
manner required by law in the absence of the
adoption of tax increment allocation financing;
then
(B) 80% of the remaining portion shall be paid
to the municipal Treasurer, who shall deposit said
taxes into a special fund called the special tax
allocation fund of the municipality for the
purpose of paying redevelopment project costs and
obligations incurred in the payment thereof; and
then
(C) 20% of the remaining portion shall be paid
to the respective affected taxing districts, other
than the school district described in clause (a)

SB1391 - 131 - LRB103 29120 AWJ 55506 b
above, in the manner required by law in the
absence of the adoption of tax increment
allocation financing.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed as relieving
property in such redevelopment project areas from being
assessed as provided in the Property Tax Code or as relieving
owners of such property from paying a uniform rate of taxes, as
required by Section 4 of Article IX of the Illinois
Constitution.
