IL SB1228

Amends Section 23-10 of the Illinois Property Tax Code to grant taxing districts the right to independent legal representation in tax objection complaints.

Allows custodians of funds for affected taxing districts to hire counsel of their choosing instead of being required to accept representation by the State's Attorney.

Maintains existing timelines for filing tax objection complaints: 165 days in counties with 3,000,000+ inhabitants and 75 days in counties with fewer inhabitants.

Preserves procedural requirements for complaints in smaller counties, including filing 3 copies with the circuit court clerk and providing summaries to affected taxing districts.

Takes effect upon becoming law.
