HB5703

Illinois HB5703 prohibits unfunded state mandates on local governments unless specific appropriations are made.

HB5703 amends the State Mandates Act to ensure that any state mandate enacted after its effective date, which requires additional expenditures from local government revenues, is void unless the General Assembly appropriates funds for it. The bill outlines a process for local governments to claim reimbursement for increased costs due to certain mandates, including service, due process, and personnel mandates. It also establishes a State Mandates Board of Review for appeals and adjudication of reimbursement claims.
