15 | | maintains a
community college recognized by the State Board |
16 | | shall receive, when eligible,
grants enumerated in this |
17 | | Section. Funded semester credit hours or other
measures or both |
18 | | as specified by the State Board shall be used to distribute
|
19 | | grants to community colleges. Funded semester credit hours |
20 | | shall be defined,
for purposes of this Section, as the greater |
21 | | of
(1) the number of semester credit hours, or equivalent, in |
22 | | all funded
instructional categories of students who have been |
23 | | certified as being in
attendance at midterm during the |
24 | | respective terms of the base fiscal year or
(2) the average of |

|
|
1 | | instructional categories of students who have been certified as |
2 | | being in
attendance at midterm during the respective terms of |
3 | | the base fiscal year and
the 2 prior fiscal years. For purposes |
4 | | of this Section, "base fiscal year"
means the fiscal year 2 |
5 | | years prior to the fiscal year for which the grants are
|
6 | | appropriated. Such students shall have been residents of |
7 | | Illinois and shall
have been enrolled in courses that are part |
8 | | of instructional program categories
approved by the State Board |
9 | | and that are applicable toward an associate degree
or |
10 | | certificate.
Courses that are eligible for reimbursement are |
11 | | those courses for which
the district pays 50% or more of the |
12 | | program costs from unrestricted
revenue sources, with the |
13 | | exception of dual credit courses and courses offered by |
14 | | contract with
the Department of Corrections in correctional |
15 | | institutions. For the
purposes of this Section, "unrestricted |
16 | | revenue sources" means those
revenues in which the provider of |
17 | | the revenue imposes no financial
limitations upon the district |
18 | | as it relates to the expenditure of the funds. Except for |
19 | | Fiscal Year 2012, base operating grants shall be paid based on |
20 | | rates per funded
semester credit hour or equivalent calculated |
21 | | by the State Board for funded
instructional categories using |
22 | | cost of instruction, enrollment, inflation, and
other relevant |
23 | | factors. For Fiscal Year 2012, the allocations for base |
24 | | operating grants to community college districts shall be the |
25 | | same as they were in Fiscal Year 2011, reduced or increased |
26 | | proportionately according to the appropriation for base |

|
|
1 | | operating grants for Fiscal Year 2012.
|
2 | | Equalization grants shall be calculated by the State Board |
3 | | by determining a
local revenue factor for each district by: (A) |
4 | | adding (1)
each district's Corporate Personal Property |
5 | | Replacement Fund
allocations from the base
fiscal year or the |
6 | | average of the base fiscal year and prior year, whichever is
|
7 | | less, divided by the applicable statewide average tax rate to |
8 | | (2) the
district's most recently audited
year's equalized |
9 | | assessed valuation or the average of the most recently audited
|
10 | | year and prior year, whichever is less, (B) then dividing by |
11 | | the district's
audited full-time equivalent resident students |
12 | | for the base fiscal year or the
average for the base fiscal |
13 | | year and the 2 prior fiscal years, whichever is
greater, and |
14 | | (C) then multiplying by the applicable statewide average tax
|
15 | | rate. The State Board
shall calculate a statewide weighted |
16 | | average threshold by applying
the same methodology to the |
17 | | totals of all districts' Corporate Personal
Property Tax |
18 | | Replacement Fund allocations, equalized assessed valuations, |
19 | | and
audited full-time equivalent district resident students |
20 | | and multiplying by the
applicable statewide average tax rate. |
21 | | The difference between the statewide
weighted average |
22 | | threshold and the local revenue
factor, multiplied by the |
23 | | number of full-time equivalent resident students,
shall |
24 | | determine the amount of equalization funding that each district |
25 | | is
eligible to receive. A percentage factor, as determined by |
26 | | the State Board,
may be applied to the statewide threshold as a |
|
| | HB1940 Engrossed | - 24 - | LRB100 04620 MLM 14626 b |
|
|
1 | | method for allocating
equalization funding. A minimum |
2 | | equalization grant of an amount per district
as determined by |
3 | | the State Board shall be established for any community college
|
4 | | district which qualifies for an equalization grant based upon |
5 | | the preceding
criteria, but becomes ineligible for |
6 | | equalization funding, or would have
received a grant of less |
7 | | than the minimum equalization grant, due to threshold
|
8 | | prorations applied to reduce equalization funding.
As of July |
9 | | 1, 2013, a community college district eligible to receive an |
10 | | equalization grant based upon the preceding criteria must |
11 | | maintain a
minimum required combined in-district tuition and |
12 | | universal fee rate per
semester credit hour equal to 70% of the |
13 | | State-average combined rate, as
determined by the State Board, |
14 | | or the total revenue received by the community college district |
15 | | from combined in-district tuition and universal fees must be at |
16 | | least 30% of the total revenue received by the community |
17 | | college district, as determined by the State Board, for |
18 | | equalization funding. As of July 1,
2004, a community college |
19 | | district must maintain a minimum required
operating tax rate |
20 | | equal to at least 95% of its maximum authorized tax
rate to |
21 | | qualify for equalization funding. This 95% minimum tax rate
|
22 | | requirement shall be based upon the maximum operating tax rate |
23 | | as
limited by the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law.
|
24 | | The State Board shall distribute such other grants as may |
25 | | be
authorized or appropriated by the General Assembly.

equivalent, shall |

are subject to audit pursuant to Section 3-22.1.

9 | | vouchers to the State Comptroller
setting
forth an amount equal |

operating grants and equalization grants. The State Board |
12 | | shall prepare and
submit to the State Comptroller vouchers for |
13 | | payments of other grants as
appropriated by the General |
14 | | Assembly. If the amount appropriated for grants
is different |
15 | | from the amount provided for such grants under this Act, the
|
16 | | grants shall be proportionately reduced or increased |
17 | | accordingly.
|
18 | | For the purposes of this Section, "resident student" means |

meets other residency definitions |
21 | | established by the State Board, and who
was enrolled either in |
22 | | one of the approved instructional program categories

|
24 | | resident's district is paying tuition under Section 6-2 or with |
25 | | which the
resident's district has entered into a cooperative |
26 | | agreement in lieu of such
tuition. Students shall be classified |

9 | | supplementary authority granted by the Omnibus Bond
Acts,

10 | | (iii) that instruments issued under this
Section within the |
