IL HR0031

Expresses the Illinois House of Representatives' opposition to amending the state constitution to permit a graduated income tax.

Affirms support for Illinois' flat tax rate structure that has been in place since 1969 and is constitutionally mandated.

States that flat tax rates provide a more predictable and sustainable economic climate for businesses and individuals compared to graduated tax structures.

Argues that graduated income taxes discourage work, entrepreneurship, and economic growth, while states with lower tax rates and less progressive structures experience stronger economies.

Directs that copies of the resolution be delivered to Illinois constitutional officers, legislative leaders in both chambers of the General Assembly.
