The move to change Illinois flat income tax structure is another step closer for voters to consider in two years. It’s a long process but another rung has been climbed on the ladder as a house committee advanced a bill on Monday to the full house for consideration. However the bill out of committee looks quite a bit different than the Senate version did – as the house is choosing not to set tax rates at this time. The President of the Illinois Manufacturing Association Mark Denzler says this proposal sets Illinoisans up to be taxed out of the state. 

A few more steps still remain; the full house needs to approve it along with getting a signature from the Governor. Then it goes to the public for approval on the November 2020 ballot.
