IL HB2243

Amends the Property Tax Code to modify qualification requirements for township and county assessors, effective upon becoming law.

Changes terminology for professional designations from "certificates" to "designations" and removes requirements for additional training hours previously mandated under Section 4-10.

Eliminates the alternative qualification pathway (paragraph 2) for township assessors in high-value districts and removes the 12-year service exemption (paragraph 6) that previously allowed experienced assessors to qualify with additional coursework.

Requires professional designations to be "currently active" for township assessors and supervisors of assessments, including CIAO, AAS/CAE/MAS, and MAI/SREA/SRPA/SRA/RM credentials from recognized professional organizations.

Streamlines eligibility requirements by removing complex hour-based training alternatives while maintaining core professional credentials from the Illinois Property Assessment Institute, International Association of Assessing Officers, and Appraisal Institute.
