The Property Tax Code is amended by adding 18 Division 22 to Article 10 as follows: 19 (35 ILCS 200/Art. 10 Div. 22 heading new) 20 Division 22. Megaprojects 21 (35 ILCS 200/10-900 new) 22 Sec. 10-900. Findings. The State's economy is highly 23 vulnerable to other states that have major financial incentive HB5015 - 92 - LRB103 33725 HLH 63537 b HB5015- 93 -LRB103 33725 HLH 63537 b HB5015 - 93 - LRB103 33725 HLH 63537 b HB5015 - 93 - LRB103 33725 HLH 63537 b 1 programs and competitive tax incentives. Certain businesses 2 and commercial operations that generate significant economic 3 activity bear a disproportionately high property tax burden 4 compared to their impact on government services and compared 5 to their positive economic benefits to the State and the local 6 economy and their derivative benefits to taxing districts. To 7 incentivize the significant capital investment and economic 8 activity of certain large-scale businesses and industrial and 9 commercial operations, the State finds that a valuation 10 procedure for real property taxes on special properties, known 11 as megaprojects, will reduce barriers to investment and 12 economic activity in Illinois. The General Assembly finds that 13 it is in the best interest of Illinois to establish a new 14 category of valuation for megaprojects that recognizes their 15 complexity and encourages local development at underutilized 16 properties. 17 (35 ILCS 200/10-910 new) 18 Sec. 10-910.
