 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend House Bill 2567 on page 1,  by
 3    replacing line 5 with the following:
 4    "Sections 16-180, 16-190, and 16-191 as follows:

 5        (35 ILCS 200/16-180)
 6        Sec.  16-180.   Procedure  for  determination  of correct
 7    assessment. The Property Tax Appeal Board shall establish  by
 8    rules  an  informal  procedure  for  the determination of the
 9    correct assessment of property which is  the  subject  of  an
10    appeal.    The  procedure,  to  the  extent  that  the  Board
11    considers  practicable,  shall  eliminate  formal  rules   of
12    pleading,   practice   and   evidence,  and  except  for  any
13    reasonable filing fee determined by the  Board,  may  provide
14    that costs shall be in the discretion of the Board. A copy of
15    the  appellant's petition shall be mailed by the clerk of the
16    Property Tax Appeal Board to the board of review or board  of
17    appeals  whose decision is being appealed. In all cases where
18    a change in assessed valuation of $100,000 or more is sought,
19    the board of review or board of appeals shall serve a copy of
20    the petition on all taxing districts as  shown  on  the  last
21    available  tax  bill. The chairman of the Property Tax Appeal
22    Board shall provide  for  the  speedy  hearing  of  all  such
23    appeals.   Each appeal shall be limited to the grounds listed
 
                            -2-      LRB093 07275 SJM 13411 a
 1    in the petition filed with the  Property  Tax  Appeal  Board.
 2    All  appeals  shall be considered de novo. Where no complaint
 3    has been made to the board of review of the county where  the
 4    property  is  located  and  the appeal is based solely on the
 5    effect of an equalizing factor assigned to all property or to
 6    a class of property by the board of review, the Property  Tax
 7    Appeal  Board  shall  not  grant  a  reduction  in assessment
 8    greater than the amount that was added as the result  of  the
 9    equalizing factor.
