HB2393 allows forest preserve districts to impose a special tax on retailers and service providers for forest preserve purposes.
HB2393 amends the Downstate Forest Preserve District Act to enable the board of any district to establish a special forest preserve retailers' and service occupation tax. This tax can be imposed after a referendum of the voters. The tax revenue will be used for general forest preserve purposes, including education, outdoor recreation, maintenance, operations, public safety, acquiring, and restoring land. The tax can only be imposed if approved by a majority of voters. The tax is to be collected and enforced by the Department of Revenue.
