Bill Summary
Amends the Regional Transportation Authority Act. In provisions concerning taxes collected in DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties and paid directly to the counties, provides that the county board of each county shall use those amounts to fund operating and capital costs of, among other things, facilities of county law enforcement. Provides that the funds shall be divided equally among all entities. Deletes provisions requiring that the funding the counties receive under the provisions shall not be used as the basis for reducing any funds that the counties would otherwise have received from the State, the Regional Transit Authority, the Commuter Rail Division, the Suburban Bus Division, or the Chicago Transit Authority. Makes other changes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Regional Transportation Authority Act to change how certain tax revenues collected in DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties are used. Specifically, it clarifies that the county board of each of these counties must use these funds to support the operating and capital costs of county law enforcement facilities, in addition to other previously allowed uses like public safety operations and public transportation. A key change is the provision that these funds will now be divided equally among all relevant entities, and the bill removes language that previously prevented these funds from being used to reduce other state or regional transportation funding the counties might receive.
