Governor J.B. Pritzker could sign Senate Bill 3567, which proponents say is a government transparency and pro-taxpayer initiative.
The bill requires all taxing districts to post their Truth in Taxation notices in a visible place on the tax district’s website homepage or through a link easily found on the homepage for at least 30 consecutive days. State Senator Andrew Chesney explained the Truth in Taxation notices are generated by action of the county board. The notice does not include their spending plan, but it does include how much money they are going to be taking in and from what, who and how.
Only Republicans sponsored the measure, but it passed both chambers unanimously. State Representative Amy Elik carried the measure in the Illinois House.
Upon the Governor’s signature the measure would take effect immediately.
