1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, The State of Illinois exempts State taxation of | ||||||
3 | retirement income; and
| ||||||
4 | WHEREAS, Retirees living on a fixed income have limited | ||||||
5 | ability to rejoin the workforce, face high health care costs, | ||||||
6 | and have little ability to save money; and
| ||||||
7 | WHEREAS, Retirees could not have anticipated in their | ||||||
8 | lifetime of planning that their retirement income would | ||||||
9 | suddenly be taxed by the State, forcing them to cut already | ||||||
10 | strained household budgets; and
| ||||||
11 | WHEREAS, Retirees do pay many other taxes, such as federal | ||||||
12 | income taxes, property taxes, and sales taxes; and
| ||||||
13 | WHEREAS, The exclusion of taxing retirement income | ||||||
14 | encourages residents to remain living throughout their | ||||||
15 | retirement in Illinois and encourages newly retired Americans | ||||||
16 | to relocate to the State; therefore, be it
| ||||||
17 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE | ||||||
18 | HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we | ||||||
19 | state our belief that the Illinois Income Tax Act should not be | ||||||
20 | amended to permit taxing retirement income; and be it further
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this resolution be | ||||||
2 | delivered to all Illinois constitutional officers, the Speaker | ||||||
3 | and Minority Leader of the Illinois House of Representatives, | ||||||
4 | and the President and Minority Leader of the Illinois Senate.
