(a) In the event that the developer terminates all of its operations and vacates the redevelopment area within 60 months after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 97th General Assembly, the developer shall be required to remit to the Department an amount equal to the payments disbursed to the developer in 2014 and subsequent years under the Agreement. Within 30 days after receipt, the Department shall remit such funds to the county collector. The county collector shall thereafter make distribution to the respective taxing districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by the county collector to those taxing districts of real property taxes from real property in the economic development project area. (b) In the event the developer fails to maintain 4,250 jobs at any time before the termination of the economic development project area, except as provided in subsection (c), the developer shall forfeit an amount of its allocations from the special tax allocation fund for that time period in which the developer failed to maintain 4,250 jobs. The amount forfeited shall equal the percentage of the year that the developer failed to maintain 4,250 jobs multiplied by the amount the developer would have received if they maintained 4,250 jobs for the entire year. Any funds that are forfeited shall be distributed to the taxing districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by the county collector to those taxing districts (inclusive of the municipality) in the economic development project area. (c) In the event that the developer maintains no jobs at any time before the termination of the economic development project area, the municipality shall adopt an ordinance dissolving the special tax allocation fund for the economic development project area and terminating the economic development project area as an economic development project area. That ordinance shall be adopted no later than one year after the date that the developer maintains no jobs within the economic development project area. All excess moneys in the special tax allocation fund shall be distributed to the taxing districts in the same manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by the county collector to those taxing districts in the economic development project area.
