IL HB2888

Amends the Property Tax Code Section 15-172 to exclude wages earned by disabled household members from the calculation of "household income" for the Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption.

Defines "disabled person" as someone with a permanent physical or mental impairment from disease, injury, functional disorder, or congenital condition that renders them incapable of adequately providing for their own health or personal care.

Applies to the existing senior citizens homestead exemption program, which provides property tax relief to applicants age 65+ with household income under specified limits ($55,000 as of 2008).

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
