A BILL FOR
SB1396 LRB104 02971 HLH 12988 b
AN ACT concerning revenue.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
Section 6-25 as follows:
(35 ILCS 200/6-25)
Sec. 6-25. Additional members. In counties with a board of
review appointed under Section 6-5, when the county board
declares by resolution that the number of complaints filed
with the board of review has created an emergency situation
and caused a need for an expanded board of review, the chairman
of the county board may appoint additional qualified members
to the board of review for the sole purpose of holding separate
hearings on complaints. The additional members shall not take
part in the intracounty equalization process of the board of
review under Section 16-60 or Section 16-65. If a board of
review is expanded under this Section in Lake, DuPage,
McHenry, or Kane County, then the chairman of that county
board may appoint qualified residents of counties that are
directly adjacent to that chairman's county to serve as
additional members of the expanded board of review.
