HB 4407

Amends the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act of the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that, if an ordinance is adopted after the effective date of the amendatory Act creating a redevelopment project area, the redevelopment project area will expire in the 23rd year after the year in which the first project started using the moneys from the special tax allocation fund (rather than the 23rd year after the year in which the ordinance approving the redevelopment project area was adopted). Provides, however, that, for ordinances adopted after the effective date of the amendatory Act, the 23 years must begin to run no later than 10 years after the year in which the ordinance approving the redevelopment project area was adopted even if no projects have been started using the moneys from the special tax allocation fund. Makes a conforming change in provisions extending the expiration of a redevelopment project area to the 35th calendar year. Provides that no extensions of redevelopment project areas to the 47th calendar year may occur after the effective date of the amendatory Act. Effective immediately.
