Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Assembly Bill 294 allows the village of Ontario to create a new Tax Incremental District (TID) without being limited by the usual 12 percent cap on taxable property value. Previously, the bill proposed raising the limit to 18 percent specifically for this district, but that higher limit has now been removed. This change simplifies the regulations for Ontario, enabling them to establish TID Number 2 while ensuring that once it ends, the 12 percent cap will return. This matters because it gives Ontario greater flexibility in developing its property tax base without the constraints of the typical percentage limit during the life of the new TID.
