Bill Summary

Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. In provisions relating to preemption of certain taxes in home rule municipalities, provides that nothing in the provisions shall prevent a tax based upon the number of units of cigarettes, on other tobacco products, or both if the home rule municipality imposed a tax either based on the number of units of cigarettes or on other tobacco products before July 1, 1993 (rather than, if a home rule municipality had not imposed a tax based on the number of units of cigarettes or tobacco products before July 1, 1993, the home rule municipality may not impose such a tax after that date).

AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Municipal Code to allow home rule municipalities that had imposed a tax on the number of units of cigarettes or other tobacco products before July 1, 1993, to continue imposing such a tax. Prior to this change, home rule municipalities that had not imposed a tax on cigarettes or tobacco products before that date were prohibited from doing so. The bill clarifies that home rule municipalities can impose taxes on other items, such as alcoholic beverages, hotel/motel rooms, and real estate transfers, that are not based on the selling or purchase price of tangible personal property.
