Illinois HB1025 allows non-home rule municipalities to exercise powers similar to home rule units, except for taxing, fee imposition, and debt.

HB1025 amends the Illinois Municipal Code to allow non-home rule municipalities to exercise powers similar to home rule units, except for taxing, fee imposition, and debt. This includes exercising powers granted by the Illinois Constitution or statutes, subject to constitutional and statutory limitations.

The changes take effect immediately upon becoming law.
