(820 ILCS 170/5) (from Ch. 48, par. 2755)
Sec. 5. Declaration of public policy. In order to alleviate
the tax burden of low-income persons in Illinois who have earned
income and support one or more dependent children, the State
should facilitate the furnishing of information to such persons
about the availability of the federal earned income tax credit
so that eligible taxpayers may claim that credit on their federal
income tax returns. It is the intent of this Act to offer the
most cost-effective assistance to eligible taxpayers through
notices provided by their employers and by State government.
