HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
    WHEREAS, The investments that the State of Illinois makes
in communities through programs and services funded in the
state budget are vitally important in helping ensure all
Illinois families can thrive; and
    WHEREAS, The State of Illinois' ability to fund programs
and services is now under threat from the federal government
as President Donald Trump and senior advisor Elon Musk are
unlawfully moving to unilaterally stop federal funding and are
pushing for deep budgetary cuts in order to slash taxes again
for the richest Americans, including Elon Musk; and
    WHEREAS, These federal changes will be devastating for
millions of Illinoisans in a multitude of ways as they will
mean deep cuts to the roughly $34 billion Illinois receives
annually from the federal government for a range of programs
and services, such as health coverage for three million
Illinoisans through Medicaid, food assistance programs for
families, and services to support the State's public transit
system; and
    WHEREAS, The General Assembly has the power to
meaningfully protect Illinoisans from the Trump
administration's plans to make deadly cuts to federal
		HJ0018	- 2 -	LRB104 12575 ECR 23110 r
investments in the health and well-being of our communities
and the planet; and
    WHEREAS, Since the unsuccessful fair tax amendment in
2020, funding essential programs and services in the State
budget has become increasingly difficult; Illinois has not had
a major increase in state revenue since and continues to
experience a significant revenue shortfall; and
    WHEREAS, Illinois has the eighth most unequal state and
local tax system in the nation and the most unequal of all
states in the Midwest with the lowest-income 20% of households
paying twice the portion of their incomes as compared with the
top 1%; and
    WHEREAS, Illinois' corporate income tax policies contain
many loopholes that allow multinational corporations to avoid
paying taxes by hiding their vast profits; and
    WHEREAS, Income and wealth inequality in the United States
have reached record levels with Illinois having the most
severe income inequality of all states in the Midwest and with
corporate profitability reaching an all-time high last year;
and
    WHEREAS, The State of Illinois plays an important role in
		HJ0018	- 3 -	LRB104 12575 ECR 23110 r
ensuring racial, gender, and immigrant justice; and
    WHEREAS, Illinois must work to ensure fairness and
opportunity for all Illinoisans regardless of their race,
gender, or where they come from; therefore, be it
    RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE
HUNDRED FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE
SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that we urge the State of Illinois
to make needed investments in Illinois communities by raising
$6 billion in new revenue from the ultra-wealthy and
mega-corporations; and be it further
    RESOLVED, That we urge revenue policies, such as raising
the corporate income tax, closing corporate tax loopholes and
taxing corporate offshore sheltered income, closing the
carried interest loophole, and taxing data extraction by big
tech corporations, should be used to fund priorities, such as
strengthening public transit operations, supporting immigrant
communities by fully funding immigrant services, protecting
healthcare access for all, fully funding public schools in
every community, supporting senior home care, and improving
the child tax credit program, the direct cash assistance,
re-entry employment programs, violence prevention programs,
and affordable housing opportunities; and be it further
		HJ0018	- 4 -	LRB104 12575 ECR 23110 r
    RESOLVED, That we affirm that, in addition to funding
these critically-needed services, implementing these revenue
policies will have the benefit of making our State's tax
system less unfair to the lowest income Illinoisans; and be it
further
    RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be
delivered to Governor JB Pritzker.

Urges the State of Illinois to make needed investments in Illinois communities by raising $6 billion in new revenue from the ultra-wealthy and mega-corporations. Affirms that, in addition to funding these critically-needed services, implementing these revenue policies will have the benefit of making our State's tax system less unfair to the lowest income Illinoisans.
