Voice Your Opposition to Madigan's Diversion of the Local Personal Property Replacement Tax to Fund Teacher Pension Costs
|
Today, Illinois House Speaker Madigan filed three amendments to House Bill (HB) 3637. All three amendments would divert funds from the Personal Property Replacement Tax fund to pay the State's obligation to fund school teacher pension costs. Amendment #3 would actually divert the entire fund to pay the State's obligation for school teacher pensions.
This afternoon, the ILA Quick Response Team voted to oppose these amendments and urges you to immediately contact your local State Representative in Springfield to express your opposition. Your legislators' contact information is available in the legislative directory.
The Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund consists of local revenues collected by the State of Illinois and paid to local governments. These local funds replace money that was lost by local governments when their powers to impose personal property taxes on corporations, partnerships, and other business entities were taken away. The proceeds from these taxes are placed into the Personal Property Replacement Tax Fund and are owed to local taxing districts including public libraries.
Every local government taxing district is entitled to a portion of these funds based on an allocation formula that has been in effect since the 1970's. A partial list of public library districts whose funds are sent directly to the library would be diverted as follows: (Please note that municipal libraries receive these funds from their municipality and ILA does not have immediate access to those numbers; other libraries might receive these funds too from an indirect source, i.e., a source other than directly from the state):
