		HR0929		LRB104 22063 MST 38179 r
1		HOUSE RESOLUTION
2		    WHEREAS, The property tax system has produced systemic
3		inequities that disproportionately burden communities through
4		regressive assessment practices, thereby imposing higher
5		effective tax rates on those with the least wealth; and
6		    WHEREAS, These inequities contribute to a documented
7		"financial death spiral", characterized by rising tax burdens,
8		forced out-migration, declining property values, and the
9		erosion of community wealth and stability; and
10		    WHEREAS, Exploitative tax sale practices, including
11		provisions that allow private investors to extract profits
12		from delinquent taxes while shifting risk back to the public,
13		drain resources from schools and local governments while
14		destabilizing vulnerable communities; and
15		    WHEREAS, The reliance on local property taxes as the
16		primary funding source for public education perpetuates
17		structural inequality, effectively tying the quality of a
18		child's education to neighborhood wealth rather than
19		guaranteeing equal protection under the law; and
20		    WHEREAS, This system undermines the ability of families to
21		build and preserve generational wealth through homeownership,
		HR0929	- 2 -	LRB104 22063 MST 38179 r
1		contributing to persistent racial wealth gaps; therefore, be
2		it
3		    RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ONE
4		HUNDRED FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that
5		we urge the Illinois Department of Revenue, in consultation
6		with the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, to
7		conduct a study to determine the feasibility of phasing out
8		the use of property taxes as a funding source for school
9		districts and replacing that revenue with other State and
10		local revenue streams; and be it further
11		    RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this resolution be
12		delivered to the Director of the Illinois Department of
13		Revenue and the Governor's Office of Management and Budget.

Urges the Illinois Department of Revenue, in consultation with the Governor's Office of Management and Budget, to conduct a study to determine the feasibility of phasing out the use of property taxes as a funding source for school districts and replacing that revenue with other State and local revenue streams.
