What changed in the latest version
95 added · 31 removedPlain-language change summary
The recent changes to SB 2012 include an amendment to the Illinois Municipal Code that allows non-home rule municipalities to impose certain taxes with approval from local voters. Specifically, the corporate authorities can now present tax proposals to the electorate, and if a majority approves, the tax can be implemented. This shift is significant because it gives local governments more autonomy to raise funds for community needs, with the check of voter approval ensuring public engagement in the decision-making process. Additionally, the amendment removed sections related to the election of multi-township assessors, which indicates a move away from more complex governance structures in smaller townships.
