Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.

Sec. 8-11-1.8. Non-home rule municipal tax rescission. Whenever the
corporate authorities
of a non-home rule municipality with a population of more than 20,000 but less
than 25,000 have imposed a municipal retailers occupation tax under Sec.
8-11-1.6 and a municipal service occupation tax under Section
8-11-1.7, the
question of discontinuing the tax imposed under those Sections shall be
submitted to the voters of the municipality at the next regularly scheduled
election in accordance with the general election law upon a petition signed by
not fewer than 10% of the registered voters in the municipality. The
petition shall be filed with the clerk, of the municipality within one year of
the passage of the ordinance imposing the tax; provided, the petition shall
be filed not less than 60 days prior to the election at which the question is
to be submitted to the voters of the municipality, and its validity shall be
determined as provided by the general election law. The municipal clerk shall
certify the question to the proper election officials, who shall submit the
question to the voters.
Notice shall be given in the manner provided for in the general election law.
Referenda initiated under this Section shall be subject to the provisions and
limitations of the general election law.
The proposition shall be in substantially the following form:

| and Municipal Retailers' Occupation Tax imposed within the municipal limits of (name of municipality) by Ordinance No. (state number) adopted on (date of adoption) be discontinued?

The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No".
If a majority of all ballots cast on the proposition shall be in favor of
discontinuing the tax, within one month after approval of the referendum
discontinuing the tax the corporate authorities shall certify the results of
the referenda to the Department of Revenue and shall also file with the
Department a certified copy of an ordinance discontinuing the tax. Thereupon, the Department shall
discontinue collection of tax as of the first day of January next following the
