For the taxes which are extended for the 1997 levy year, the recovered tax increment value for a non‑home rule taxing district that first became subject to this Law for the 1995 levy year because a majority of its 1994 equalized assessed value was in an affected county or counties shall be increased if a municipality terminated the designation of an area in 1993 as a redevelopment project area previously established under the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the Illinois Municipal Code, previously established under the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, or previously established under the Economic Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, by an amount equal to the 1994 equalized assessed value 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 in the redevelopment project area. In the first year after a municipality removes a taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property from a redevelopment project area established under the Tax Increment Allocation Development Act in the Illinois Municipal Code, the Industrial Jobs Recovery Law in the Illinois Municipal Code, or the Economic Development Area Tax Increment Allocation Act, "recovered tax increment value" means the amount of the current year's equalized assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property removed from the redevelopment project area over and above the initial equalized assessed value of that real property before removal from the redevelopment project area.

For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. The denominator shall not include new property. The denominator shall not include the recovered tax increment value.

For those taxing districts that reduced their aggregate extension for the last preceding levy year, the highest aggregate extension in any of the last 3 preceding levy years shall be used for the purpose of computing the limiting rate. The denominator shall not include new property. The denominator shall not include the recovered tax increment value.

    Sec. 18‑190. Direct referendum; new rate or increased rate. If a new rate or a rate increase is authorized by statute to be imposed without referendum or is subject to a backdoor referendum, as defined in Section 28‑2 of the Election Code, the governing body of the affected taxing district before levying the new rate or rate increase shall submit the new rate or rate increase to direct referendum under the provisions of Article 28 of the Election Code. Rates required to extend taxes on levies subject to a backdoor referendum in each year there is a levy are not new rates or rate increases under this Section if a levy has been made for the fund in one or more of the preceding 3 levy years. Changes made by this amendatory Act of 1997 to this Section in reference to rates required to extend taxes on levies subject to a backdoor referendum in each year there is a levy are declarative of existing law and not a new enactment. Whenever other applicable law authorizes a taxing district subject to the limitation with respect to its aggregate extension provided for in this Law to issue bonds or other obligations either without referendum or subject to backdoor referendum, the taxing district may elect for each separate bond issuance to submit the question of the issuance of the bonds or obligations directly to the voters of the taxing district, and if the referendum passes the taxing district is not required to comply with any backdoor referendum procedures or requirements set forth in the other applicable law. The direct referendum shall be initiated by ordinance or resolution of the governing body of the taxing district, and the question shall be certified to the proper election authorities in accordance with the provisions of the Election Code.

    For those taxing districts that have levied in any previous levy year for any funds included in the aggregate extension, the county clerk shall extend a rate for the sum of these funds that is no greater than the limiting rate.
    For those taxing districts that have never levied for any funds included in the aggregate extension, the county clerk shall extend an amount no greater than the amount approved by the voters in a referendum under Section 18‑210.

    Upon written request of the corporate authority of a village, the county clerk shall calculate separate limiting rates for the library funds and for the aggregate of the other village funds in order to reduce the funds as may be required under provisions of this Law. In calculating the limiting rate for the library, the county clerk shall use only the part of the aggregate extension base applicable to the library, and for any rate increase or decrease factor under Section 18‑230 the county clerk shall use only any new rate or rate increase applicable to the library funds and the part of the rate applicable to the library in determining factors under that Section. The county clerk shall calculate the limiting rate for all other village funds using only the part of the aggregate extension base not applicable to the library, and for any rate increase or decrease factor under Section 18‑230 the county clerk shall use only any new rate or rate increase not applicable to the library funds and the part of the rate not applicable to the library in determining factors under that Section. If the county clerk is required to reduce the aggregate extension of the library portion of the levy, the county clerk shall proportionally reduce the extension for each library fund unless otherwise requested by the library board. If the county clerk is required to reduce the aggregate extension of the portion of the levy not applicable to the library, the county clerk shall proportionally reduce the extension for each fund not applicable to the library unless otherwise requested by the village.
    Beginning with the 1998 levy year upon written direction of a county or township community mental health board, the county clerk shall calculate separate limiting rates for the community mental health funds and for the aggregate of the other county or township funds in order to reduce the funds as may be required under provisions of this Law. In calculating the limiting rate for the community mental health funds, the county clerk shall use only the part of the aggregate extension base applicable to the community mental health funds; and for any rate increase or decrease factor under Section 18‑230, the county clerk shall use only any new rate or rate increase applicable to the community mental health funds and the part of the rate applicable to the community mental health board in determining factors under that Section.

    Beginning with the 2001 levy year upon written direction of a county or township board for care and treatment of persons with a developmental disability, the county clerk shall calculate separate limiting rates for the funds for persons with a developmental disability and for the aggregate of the other county or township funds in order to reduce the funds as may be required under provisions of this Law. In calculating the limiting rate for the funds for persons with a developmental disability, the county clerk shall use only the part of the aggregate extension base applicable to the funds for persons with a developmental disability; and for any rate increase or decrease factor under Section 18‑230, the county clerk shall use only any new rate or rate increase applicable to the funds for persons with a developmental disability and the part of the rate applicable to the board for care and treatment of persons with a developmental disability in determining factors under that Section. The county clerk shall calculate the limiting rate for all other county or township funds using only the part of the aggregate extension base not applicable to funds for persons with a developmental disability; and for any rate increase or decrease factor under Section 18‑230, the county clerk shall use only any new rate or rate increase not applicable to the funds for persons with a developmental disability and the part of the rate not applicable to the board for care and treatment of persons with a developmental disability in determining factors under that Section. If the county clerk is required to reduce the aggregate extension of the board for care and treatment of persons with a developmental disability portion of the levy, the county clerk shall proportionally reduce the extension for each fund for persons with a developmental disability unless otherwise directed by the board for care and treatment of persons with a developmental disability. If the county clerk is required to reduce the aggregate extension of the portion of the levy not applicable to the board for care and treatment of persons with a developmental disability, the county clerk shall proportionally reduce the extension for each fund not applicable to the board for care and treatment of persons with a developmental disability unless otherwise directed by the county or township.

Except as provided in Section 18‑215, as it relates to a transfer of a service, before a county clerk may extend taxes for funds subject to the limitations of this Law, a new taxing district or a taxing district with an aggregate extension base of zero shall hold a referendum establishing a maximum aggregate extension for the levy year. The maximum aggregate extension is established for the current levy year if a taxing district has held a referendum before the levy date at which the majority voting on the issue approves its adoption.

    Sec. 18‑213. Referenda on applicability of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
    (a) The provisions of this Section do not apply to a taxing district subject to this Law because a majority of its 1990 equalized assessed value is in a county or counties contiguous to a county of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, or because a majority of its 1994 equalized assessed value is in an affected county and the taxing district was not subject to this Law before the 1995 levy year.
    (b) The county board of a county that is not subject to this Law may, by ordinance or resolution, submit to the voters of the county the question of whether to make all non‑home rule taxing districts that have all or a portion of their equalized assessed valuation situated in the county subject to this Law in the manner set forth in this Section.
    For purposes of this Section only:
    "Taxing district" has the same meaning provided in Section 1‑150.
    "Equalized assessed valuation" means the equalized assessed valuation for a taxing district for the immediately preceding levy year.
    (c) The ordinance or resolution shall request the submission of the proposition at any election, except a consolidated primary election, for the purpose of voting for or against making the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law applicable to all non‑home rule taxing districts that have all or a portion of their equalized assessed valuation situated in the county.
    The question shall be placed on a separate ballot and shall be in substantially the following form:
        Shall the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (35
    
ILCS 200/18‑185 through 18‑245), which limits annual property tax extension increases, apply to non‑home rule taxing districts with all or a portion of their equalized assessed valuation located in (name of county)?
Votes on the question shall be recorded as "yes" or "no".
    (d) The county clerk shall order the proposition submitted to the electors of the county at the election specified in the ordinance or resolution. If part of the county is under the jurisdiction of a board or boards of election commissioners, the county clerk shall submit a certified copy of the ordinance or resolution to each board of election commissioners, which shall order the proposition submitted to the electors of the taxing district within its jurisdiction at the election specified in the ordinance or resolution.
    (e) (1) With respect to taxing districts having all of
    
their equalized assessed valuation located in the county, if a majority of the votes cast on the proposition are in favor of the proposition, then this Law becomes applicable to the taxing district beginning on January 1 of the year following the date of the referendum.
        (2) With respect to taxing districts that meet all
    
the following conditions this Law shall become applicable to the taxing district beginning on January 1, 1997. The districts to which this paragraph (2) is applicable
            (A) do not have all of their equalized assessed
        
valuation located in a single county,
            (B) have equalized assessed valuation in an
        
affected county,
            (C) meet the condition that each county, other
        
than an affected county, in which any of the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district is located has held a referendum under this Section at any election, except a consolidated primary election, held prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997, and
            (D) have a majority of the district's equalized
        
assessed valuation located in one or more counties in each of which the voters have approved a referendum under this Section prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997. For purposes of this Section, in determining whether a majority of the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district is located in one or more counties in which the voters have approved a referendum under this Section, the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district in any affected county shall be included with the equalized assessed value of the taxing district in counties in which the voters have approved the referendum.
        (3) With respect to taxing districts that do not
    
have all of their equalized assessed valuation located in a single county and to which paragraph (2) of subsection (e) is not applicable, if each county other than an affected county in which any of the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district is located has held a referendum under this Section at any election, except a consolidated primary election, held in any year and if a majority of the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district is located in one or more counties that have each approved a referendum under this Section, then this Law shall become applicable to the taxing district on January 1 of the year following the year in which the last referendum in a county in which the taxing district has any equalized assessed valuation is held. For the purposes of this Law, the last referendum shall be deemed to be the referendum making this Law applicable to the taxing district. For purposes of this Section, in determining whether a majority of the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district is located in one or more counties that have approved a referendum under this Section, the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district in any affected county shall be included with the equalized assessed value of the taxing district in counties that have approved the referendum.
    (f) Immediately after a referendum is held under this Section, the county clerk of the county holding the referendum shall give notice of the referendum having been held and its results to all taxing districts that have all or a portion of their equalized assessed valuation located in the county, the county clerk of any other county in which any of the equalized assessed valuation of any taxing district is located, and the Department of Revenue. After the last referendum affecting a multi‑county taxing district is held, the Department of Revenue shall determine whether the taxing district is subject to this Law and, if so, shall notify the taxing district and the county clerks of all of the counties in which a portion of the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district is located that, beginning the following January 1, the taxing district is subject to this Law. For each taxing district subject to paragraph (2) of subsection (e) of this Section, the Department of Revenue shall notify the taxing district and the county clerks of all of the counties in which a portion of the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district is located that, beginning January 1, 1997, the taxing district is subject to this Law.
    (g) Referenda held under this Section shall be conducted in accordance with the Election Code.

    Sec. 18‑214. Referenda on removal of the applicability of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law to non‑home rule taxing districts.
    (a) The provisions of this Section do not apply to a taxing district that is subject to this Law because a majority of its 1990 equalized assessed value is in a county or counties contiguous to a county of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants, or because a majority of its 1994 equalized assessed value is in an affected county and the taxing district was not subject to this Law before the 1995 levy year.
    (b) For purposes of this Section only:
    "Taxing district" means any non‑home rule taxing district that became subject to this Law under Section 18‑213 of this Law.
    "Equalized assessed valuation" means the equalized assessed valuation for a taxing district for the immediately preceding levy year.
    (c) The county board of a county that became subject to this Law by a referendum approved by the voters of the county under Section 18‑213 may, by ordinance or resolution, in the manner set forth in this Section, submit to the voters of the county the question of whether this Law applies to all non‑home rule taxing districts that have all or a portion of their equalized assessed valuation situated in the county in the manner set forth in this Section.
    (d) The ordinance or resolution shall request the submission of the proposition at any election, except a consolidated primary election, for the purpose of voting for or against the continued application of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law to all non‑home rule taxing districts that have all or a portion of their equalized assessed valuation situated in the county.
    The question shall be placed on a separate ballot and shall be in substantially the following form:
        Shall the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (35
    
ILCS 200/18‑185 through 35 ILCS 200/18‑245), which limits annual property tax extension increases, apply to non‑home rule taxing districts with all or a portion of their equalized assessed valuation located in (name of county)?
Votes on the question shall be recorded as "yes" or "no".
    (e) The county clerk shall order the proposition submitted to the electors of the county at the election specified in the ordinance or resolution. If part of the county is under the jurisdiction of a board or boards of election commissioners, the county clerk shall submit a certified copy of the ordinance or resolution to each board of election commissioners, which shall order the proposition submitted to the electors of the taxing district within its jurisdiction at the election specified in the ordinance or resolution.
    (f) With respect to taxing districts having all of their equalized assessed valuation located in one county, if a majority of the votes cast on the proposition are against the proposition, then this Law shall not apply to the taxing district beginning on January 1 of the year following the date of the referendum.
    (g) With respect to taxing districts that do not have all of their equalized assessed valuation located in a single county, if both of the following conditions are met, then this Law shall no longer apply to the taxing district beginning on January 1 of the year following the date of the referendum.
        (1) Each county in which the district has any
    
equalized assessed valuation must either, (i) have held a referendum under this Section, (ii) be an affected county, or (iii) have held a referendum under Section 18‑213 at which the voters rejected the proposition at the most recent election at which the question was on the ballot in the county.
        (2) The majority of the equalized assessed valuation
    
of the taxing district, other than any equalized assessed valuation in an affected county, is in one or more counties in which the voters rejected the proposition. For purposes of this Section, in determining whether a majority of the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district is located in one or more counties in which the voters have rejected the proposition under this Section, the equalized assessed valuation of any taxing district in a county which has held a referendum under Section 18‑213 at which the voters rejected that proposition, at the most recent election at which the question was on the ballot in the county, will be included with the equalized assessed value of the taxing district in counties in which the voters have rejected the referendum held under this Section.
    (h) Immediately after a referendum is held under this Section, the county clerk of the county holding the referendum shall give notice of the referendum having been held and its results to all taxing districts that have all or a portion of their equalized assessed valuation located in the county, the county clerk of any other county in which any of the equalized assessed valuation of any such taxing district is located, and the Department of Revenue. After the last referendum affecting a multi‑county taxing district is held, the Department of Revenue shall determine whether the taxing district is no longer subject to this Law and, if the taxing district is no longer subject to this Law, the Department of Revenue shall notify the taxing district and the county clerks of all of the counties in which a portion of the equalized assessed valuation of the taxing district is located that, beginning on January 1 of the year following the date of the last referendum, the taxing district is no longer subject to this Law.
