Bill > HB4157

This bill amends the Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities Property Tax Relief Act by updating income eligibility limits for two specific programs. First, for free transit services administered by municipalities or public transit authorities, the bill raises income thresholds to $33,562 for a one-person household, $44,533 for a two-person household, and $55,500 for households with three or more persons. Second, for reduced vehicle registration fees for seniors and persons with disabilities (specifically under Section 3-806.3 of the Illinois Vehicle Code), the bill establishes new income limits starting in 2026: $50,000 for a one-person household, $66,344 for a two-person household, and $82,683 for households with three or more persons. The bill also includes a provision for annually adjusting these income limits based on the consumer price index-u, which measures average price changes for goods and services purchased by urban consumers. The Comptroller will determine the new amounts each year, and the Department on Aging will publish the adjusted amounts, ensuring that the income thresholds keep pace with economic changes.
