IL HB2780

Authorizes non-home rule counties to impose an additional 1% hotel tax on gross rental receipts, in addition to the existing 5% county hotel tax authority.

Exempts permanent residents' rental receipts from taxation and prohibits the additional tax in municipalities that already impose their own hotel tax.

Requires revenue from the additional 1% tax be used for infrastructure, police protection, and emergency services supporting tourism and conventions within the county.

Establishes a Tourism Facility Board for Winnebago County (with weighted voting based on population) to oversee use of revenues from a separate 2% tax on hotels in municipalities that impose hotel taxes.

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
