Also going to the Governor, Illinois SB 107. Changes the disable Veteran's homestead property tax credit from:
  • 50%-69.99% Service Connected - $2500 credit
  • 70% and above Service Connected - $5000 credit
to
  • 30%-49.99% Service Connected - $2500 credit
  • 50%-69.99% Service Connected - $5000 credit
  • 70% and above Service Connected - No property taxes

Effective for the 2015 taxes.

There is also an open Illinois Senate bill, SB 1903, that would exempt any property owned by a Veteran that has a rating of 30% or more service connection from property taxes.

Gov Rauner signed this into law on Sunday along with 5 others including a law establishing a veterans and active duty discount card program for use at participating merchants.

I can see a big problem, if it exempts any property. For instance, families would place the title in disabled veterans names for all properties held. Thus avoiding any property taxes. I could go along if it only covers the primary residence of the veteran. Commercial, Industrial and Rental Properties would not qualify. Otherwise I foresee widespread abuse.

It doesn't apply to commercial or industrial properties, the Vet or the unremarried spouse of a deceased Vet must reside there, and the property's appraised value must be below a certain value.

I'd agree with keeping the ccl and dl separate.. But it would be very nice to do away with the foid card in my wallet...
