Illinois Senate committee backs constitutional state tax cap
An Illinois Senate Executive Committee approved a constitutional limit on state taxes tied to personal income, sending the measure to the Senate floor by an 8 to 6 vote. The proposal would cap state revenue at 7 percent of Illinois personal income and trigger a November referendum. If approved, the plan could still allow up to $325 million in taxes before hitting the cap, with debate over revenue loss and local tax implications.
