Bill > HB1938

This bill amends the Decennial Committees on Local Government Efficiency Act by modifying the definition of "governmental unit" to explicitly exclude fire protection districts established under the Fire Protection District Act. Currently, the law defines "governmental unit" as entities that levy taxes and are units of local government under the Illinois Constitution, with exceptions for municipalities and counties. The proposed change means that fire protection districts will no longer be considered a "governmental unit" for the purposes of this Act. This modification could impact how fire protection districts are treated in relation to local government efficiency committees and related processes. The bill appears to be a technical amendment that clarifies the legal classification of fire protection districts, potentially simplifying administrative procedures or reducing regulatory requirements for these specific local government entities.
