(a) Merging and consolidating taxing districts. For purpose of this Law, when 2 or more taxing districts merge or consolidate, the sum of the last preceding aggregate extension for each taxing district shall be combined for the resulting merged or consolidated taxing district. When a service performed by one taxing district is transferred to another taxing district, that part of the aggregate extension base for that purpose shall be transferred and added to the aggregate extension base of the transferee taxing district for purposes of this Law and shall be deducted from the aggregate extension base of the transferor taxing district.
(b) Annexed or disconnected property. If property is annexed into the taxing district or is disconnected from a taxing district during the current levy year, the calculation of the limiting rate under Section 18-246 is not affected. The rates as limited under this Law are applied to all property in the district for the 1994 levy year, excluding property that was annexed after the adoption of the levy for the current levy year.
(c) Rate increase or decrease factor. When a new rate or a rate increase or decrease that is first effective for the 1994 levy year has been approved by referendum, the aggregate extension base, as adjusted in subsection (a), shall be multiplied by a rate increase or decrease factor. The numerator of the rate increase or decrease factor is the total combined rate for the funds that made up the aggregate extension for the taxing district for the 1993 levy year plus the rate increase approved or minus the rate decrease approved. The denominator of the rate increase or decrease factor is the total combined rate for the funds that made up the aggregate extension for the 1993 levy year. For those taxing districts for which a new rate or a rate increase has been approved by referendum held after December 31, 1989, and that did not increase their rate to the new maximum rate for that fund, the rate increase factor for the 1994 levy year shall be adjusted by a factor the numerator of which is the portion of the new or increased rate for which taxes were not extended plus the aggregate rate in effect for the levy year prior to the levy year in which the referendum was passed and the denominator of which is the aggregate rate in effect for the levy year prior to the levy year in which the referendum was passed.
(d) Tax increment financing districts. Extensions allocable to a special tax allocation fund and the amount of taxes abated under Sections 18-165 and 18-170 are not included in the aggregate extension base when computing the limiting rate.
(b) Annexed or disconnected property. If property is annexed into the taxing district or is disconnected from a taxing district during the current levy year, the calculation of the limiting rate under Section 18-246 is not affected. The rates as limited under this Law are applied to all property in the district for the 1994 levy year, excluding property that was annexed after the adoption of the levy for the current levy year.

(c) Rate increase or decrease factor. When a new rate or a rate increase or decrease that is first effective for the 1994 levy year has been approved by referendum, the aggregate extension base, as adjusted in subsection (a), shall be multiplied by a rate increase or decrease factor.
