Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

55 ILCS 5/5-1035.3 new

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Counties Code. Authorizes a county, by ordinance or resolution adopted by the county board or by referendum, to opt out of any tax imposed within the county. If a county opts out of a tax, then the tax shall no longer be imposed or collected in the county and the county shall no longer receive distributions or any other benefits derived from the imposition of the tax.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that a county may opt out of "any tax imposed by the State if the benefit of the tax is used solely within the county" (instead of "any tax imposed within the county").

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the bill with changes. Provides that any county may opt out of any tax increase imposed under certain provisions of the Regional Transportation Act, as amended by P.A. 95-708, that are to be used by the county as provided in that Act (instead of any tax imposed within the county). Exempts taxes that are pledged to repay bonds or other long-term debt. Effective immediately.
