AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Estate and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Act to provide that for persons dying on or after January 1, 2024, the estate tax exclusion amount will be the applicable exclusion amount calculated under Section 2010 of the Internal Revenue Code, including any deceased spousal unused exclusion amount. This effectively increases the estate tax exclusion amount from the current $4 million to the higher federal exclusion amount, which is intended to align the Illinois estate tax with the federal estate tax.
