IL SB0471

Amends the Great Lakes Naval Station Tax Exemption Act by making a technical change to Section 1 of 35 ILCS 810/1.

Exempts specified parcels of land at Great Lakes Naval Training Center and Downey Veterans Hospital in Lake County, Illinois from state and local taxes when used by the U.S. Department of the Navy.

Tax exemptions apply to real and personal property taxes, municipal retailers' occupation tax, cigarette tax, motor vehicle tax, municipal service occupation tax, and similar taxes authorized by the General Assembly.

Changes the article "the" to "the" in the opening language of Section 1 (a grammatical technical correction).

Exemption applies only while the property is actively used by the Department of the Navy as the United States Naval Training Station and Downey Hospital at Great Lakes.
