 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,

 5        Section  5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
 6    Section 16-115 as follows:

 7        (35 ILCS 200/16-115)
 8        Sec.  16-115.   Filing  complaints.  In   counties   with
 9    3,000,000  or  more inhabitants, complaints that any property
10    is overassessed or underassessed or is exempt may be made  by
11    any taxpayer. Complaints that any property is overassessed or
12    underassessed  or  is exempt may be made by a taxing district
13    that has an interest in the assessment to a board of  review.
14    All complaints shall be in writing, identify and describe the
15    particular  property,  otherwise  comply  with  the  rules in
16    force, be signed by the  complaining  party  or  his  or  her
17    attorney,  and  be filed with the board of appeals (until the
18    first Monday  in  December  1998  and  the  board  of  review
19    beginning  the  first Monday in December 1998 and thereafter)
20    in at least duplicate. The board shall forward  one  copy  of
21    each  complaint  to  the  county  assessor.  A  person is not
22    required to be an attorney to represent a taxpayer before the
23    board of review.
24        Complaints  by  taxpayers  and   taxing   districts   and
25    certificates of correction by the county assessor as provided
26    in  this  Code  shall  be  filed  with the board according to
27    townships on or before the dates  specified  in  the  notices
28    given in Section 16-110.
