Illinois Compiled Statutes 110 ILCS 805 Public Community College Act. Section 6-1

    (110 ILCS 805/6-1) (from Ch. 122, par. 106-1)

    Sec. 6-1. The board of education of any non-high school district or any school district maintaining grades 9 through 12, any part of which lies outside a community college district may, beginning in the year 1985, levy an additional annual tax upon that part of the taxable property of the school district lying outside a community college district in an amount sufficient for community college educational purposes for the payment of tuition as provided in Section 6-2 for any graduate of a recognized high school or student otherwise qualified to attend a public community college, and shall apply the proceeds for the purpose for which levied. Such tax may be levied for 5 successive years. This levy authority shall expire on or before the last Tuesday of December, 1989, and 1989 is the last year for which such additional tax may be levied. This tax is in addition to and in excess of any other tax for educational purposes and shall be levied and collected at the same time and in the same manner as other school district taxes. By October 1, 1989, a petition shall be filed or resolution adopted under either Article 3 or Article 6 seeking the inclusion of such territory of the school district lying outside a community college district in a new community college district, or the annexation of such territory to an existing community college district. If such petition or resolution is not filed within the specified time, the State Board shall assign the territory to a new or existing community college district, such assignment to be effective July 1, 1990.

    When such a non-high school district or school district maintaining grades 9 through 12 becomes totally included in a community college district, any balance of the funds received from the tax levied for community college educational purposes remaining after the payment of all claims against those funds shall be credited to the educational fund of that school district, except that the board of education of any high school district or any school district maintaining grades 9 through 12 which is included in a new community college district formed pursuant to Section 6-6.1 shall continue to comply with the provisions of this Section and Section 6-2 until January 1, 1991.
