97TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY State of Illinois 2011 and 2012 HB3410 Introduced 2/24/2011, by Rep. Brandon W. Phelps SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:

LRB097 08975 HLH 49108 b
A BILL FOR
HB3410 LRB097 08975 HLH 49108 b
AN ACT concerning revenue.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Economic Development for a Growing Economy
Tax Credit Act is amended by changing Section 5-3 as follows:
(35 ILCS 10/5-3)
Sec. 5-3. Purpose. The The General Assembly finds that the
Illinois economy, although currently strong, is still highly
vulnerable to other states and nations that have major
financial incentive programs for medium-sized and large firm
relocations. Because of the incentive programs of these
competitor locations, Illinois must move aggressively with new
business development investment tools so that Illinois is more
competitive in site location decision-making. The State must
not only continue to work with firms to help them locate their
new plants and facilities in Illinois but also must provide
competitive investment location tax credits in support of the
location and expansion of medium-sized and large operations of
commerce and industry. In an increasingly global economy,
Illinois' long-term development would benefit from rational,
strategic use of State resources in support of business
development and growth.
