A BILL FOR
HB2939 LRB096 08828 RCE 18962 b
AN ACT concerning revenue.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Longtime Owner-Occupant Property Tax Relief
Act is amended by changing Section 5 as follows:
(35 ILCS 250/5)
Sec. 5. Public policy. In recognition of the the severe
economic circumstances of certain longtime owner-occupants of
residences who are faced with rising living costs and
constantly increasing tax burdens in areas where real property
values have risen markedly as a consequence of the renovation
of other deteriorating residences or the construction of new
residences, the General Assembly considers it to be a matter of
sound public policy for counties having a population of 100,000
or more to adopt uniform special real property tax relief
provisions in order to allow longtime owner-occupants of
residences to remain in peaceful possession of their homes.
