Committee discusses adding Special Service Tax line to levy under 35 ILCS 200/27‑25
Summary
Committee members discussed a proposal to add a Special Service Tax line under 35 ILCS 200/27‑25 to reallocate levy dollars (not raise taxes) to support highway patrol units or drug enforcement programs.
Members discussed a proposed Special Service Tax under 35 ILCS 200/27‑25 that would appear as a new line item on the county tax levy. Committee members noted the proposal would not increase overall tax revenue but would reallocate levy amounts from other lines to create a funding stream for patrol units on main county highways or for drug enforcement programs.
The discussion was preliminary; the minutes indicate the idea was presented during budget discussions and would require formal action by the full board and any required legal steps under the cited statute.
