    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

represented in the General Assembly:

    (35 ILCS 250/5)



7
    Sec. 5. Public policy. In recognition of the
the severe 
8
economic circumstances
of certain longtime owner-occupants of 
9
residences who are faced with rising
living costs and 
10
constantly increasing tax burdens in areas where real property

11
values have risen markedly as a consequence of the renovation 
12
of other
deteriorating residences or the construction of new 
13
residences, the General
Assembly considers it to be a matter of 
14
sound public policy for counties having
a population of 100,000 
15
or more to adopt uniform special real property tax
relief 
16
provisions in order to allow longtime owner-occupants of 
17
residences to
remain in peaceful possession of their homes.
