Summary of SB2907 - Municipal Utility Information for Tax Audits

• Amends the Illinois Municipal Code to specify that certain premises information (address, classification, monthly usage, taxes collected, service start date, and tax exemptions) shall not be deemed "customer-specific information" when municipalities audit public utility tax payments.

• Allows municipalities to request additional customer-specific information from utilities specifically for the purpose of conducting tax audits and enforcing related tax claims.

• Requires all account-specific, premises-specific, and customer-specific information provided by utilities to be held in strict confidence by municipalities and their agents, exempt from Freedom of Information Act disclosure.

• Utilities must provide requested audit information within 45 days, with municipalities limited to making such requests no more than once every 2 years covering up to 6 years of prior records.
