20 ILCS 2530/ Taxation Disclosure Act.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 5. Legislative purpose.

The intent of the General Assembly is to make citizen access to State and local tax rates as open, transparent, and publicly accessible as is feasible.  Increasing the ease of public access to State and local tax rates significantly contributes to governmental accountability, public participation, and the understanding of the cost of government services. Therefore, the General Assembly directs the Department to create and maintain a database of tax rates for taxing districts in the State.
