Summary

Amends the Property Tax Code. In provisions concerning tax objections based on budget or appropriation ordinances, provides that no objection to any property tax levied by any municipality or county (rather than by any municipality) shall be sustained by any court under certain conditions. Removes forest preserve districts having a population of 3,000,000 or more from the definition of "municipality" in those provisions. Effective immediately.

What changed in the latest version

Plain-language change summary

The amended version of SB 849 includes a new section that restricts local governments from imposing any new taxes or fees specifically related to electricity generation and emissions, stating that this power is exclusively reserved for the state. Additionally, the previous section concerning property tax objections has been removed entirely. This change is significant because it centralizes regulatory authority on electricity-related taxes, potentially streamlining the tax structure for energy, while eliminating the provision that allowed for judicial objections to local property tax levies based on budget presentation.
