1 qualifications as are provided by Section 8 of the "Motor Fuel
2 Tax Law", approved March 25, 1929, as amended, with respect to
3 the allocation to road districts of the amount allotted from
4 the Motor Fuel Tax Fund for apportionment to counties for the
5 use of road districts, but no allocation shall be made to any
6 road district that has not levied taxes for road and bridge
7 purposes and for bridge construction purposes at the maximum
8 rates permitted by Sections 6-501, 6-508 and 6-512 of this
9 Act, without referendum. "Road district" and "township or
10 district road" have the meanings ascribed to those terms in
11 this Act.
12 Road districts in counties in which a property tax
13 extension limitation is imposed under the Property Tax
14 Extension Limitation Law that are made ineligible for receipt
15 of this appropriation due to the imposition of a property tax
16 extension limitation may become eligible if, at the time the
17 property tax extension limitation was imposed, the road
18 district was levying at the required rate and continues to
19 levy the maximum allowable amount after the imposition of the
20 property tax extension limitation. The road district also
21 becomes eligible if it levies at or above the rate required for
22 eligibility by Section 8 of the Motor Fuel Tax Law.
23 The amounts apportioned under this Section for allocation
24 to road districts may be used only for bridge construction as
25 provided in this Division. So much of those amounts as are not
26 obligated under Sections 6-902 through 6-904 and for which
