Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Proposes  to  amend  the  Revenue   Article   of   the   Illinois      
   Constitution.   Provides  that  property  taxes and any other taxes or      
   user fees shall be levied at an amount no higher  than  that  levy  in      
   effect  on  the  effective date of this Constitutional Amendment or at      
   the levy in effect in 1990, whichever is less, excluding certain taxes      
   or fees for bonded indebtedness incurred before the effective date  of      
   this  Constitutional  Amendment.    Provides that, as of the effective      
   date  of  this  Constitutional  Amendment,  there  shall  be  no  more      
   reassessments that would increase the assessed value  or  equalization

   Provides that an ordinance that would increase the revenue of  a  unit      
   of  local  government  or  school  district  may  become law only with      
   approval at referendum of at least two-thirds of the voters.  Provides      
   that a bill that would increase the revenue of the  State  may  become
