Bill > HB2349

This bill modifies the Illinois Property Tax Code to change the political composition requirements for county boards of review. Currently, these boards are required to have two members from the political party that received the highest vote count in the county and one member from the second-highest voting party. The bill revises this requirement to simply state that no more than two members of the three-person board may be affiliated with the same political party, removing the previous language that tied board membership to specific election results. This change appears aimed at promoting greater political balance and reducing strict partisan alignment on these local tax assessment boards. The bill would apply to boards of review appointed under Section 6-5 and Section 6-30 of the Property Tax Code, and it takes effect immediately upon enactment. The modification provides more flexibility in board composition while still maintaining a limit on party representation to help ensure diverse perspectives in property tax review processes.
