Changes population requirements for allowing corporate authorities to establish zoological parks in counties with less than 3,000,000 from forest preserve districts containing a population of 150,000 or more to forest preserve districts containing a population of 140,000 or more. Provides that the annual tax rate for a forest preserve district located in a county with a population in excess of 140,000, instead of 150,000, but less than 200,000 and that is contiguous to the Mississippi River shall not exceed .01% of the value of all taxable property in the district. Effective immediately. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY NOTE (Illinois Housing Development Authority) The new authority to potentially increase local property taxes will have a potential direct impact on homeowners. However, because the legislation does not specify which forest preserve districts in Illinois this will affect, and even then is voluntary regarding implementation, a calculation of impact cannot be determined.
