Summary — HB 2510 (Mixed document: Illinois and Arizona texts)
Note: The provided document contains text from two different bills both labeled HB 2510 — one amending Illinois’ Property Tax Code and another establishing waste/composting programs in Arizona. Summaries for both are below.
Part A — Illinois HB 2510 (Property Tax Code amendments)
- Citation: Amends 35 ILCS 200/16-55 and 35 ILCS 200/16-95
- Sponsor (introduced): Rep. Brad Stephens; introduced 2/4/2025. Status: Rule 19(a) / Re-referred to Rules Committee.
Purpose and intent
- Increase notice to taxing bodies when property assessment complaints could materially change taxing district revenues, and clarify procedures for filing, service, evidence submission, and representation in board of review complaints.
Key provisions / changes
- Requires that a copy of a complaint be served on each taxing district in which the property is located at least 90 days prior to the board of review hearing on the complaint. (Draft language replaces earlier shorter notice periods.)
- Modifies Section 16-55 (complaint procedures) to:
- Emphasize consideration of compulsory sales and arm’s-length criteria.
- Clarify attorney representation and board procedures for notices, dismissals, and electronic service.
- Define filing dates for complaints (postmark and delivery-service rules) and permit electronic filing if allowed by board rules.
- Provide timelines for submission of evidence (e.g., evidence supporting an assessor’s opinion to be submitted no later than five calendar days prior to hearing when required by board rules).
- Updates Section 16-95 (truncated in provided text) — likely related procedural details but full changes not shown.
Who is affected
- Taxing districts (counties, municipalities, school districts, special districts) that levy on property where complaints are filed — they would receive earlier notice (90 days) and have expanded opportunity to review and participate.
- Property owners, attorneys representing taxpayers, county assessors, and boards of review — process and timing implications.
- Potentially fiscal: earlier notice may affect budgeting/tax rate decisions when large valuation changes are pursued.
Procedural/timeline aspects
- The bill text included an “Effective immediately” notation in the synopsis (applies if/when enacted). As of the provided status, the bill was in Rules Committee.
Potential impacts
- Greater administrative burden and longer lead time for taxing districts to evaluate and respond to large assessment complaints.
- Increased transparency and opportunity for taxing bodies to intervene before hearings.
- Could delay final resolution of high-value assessment disputes.
Part B — Arizona HB 2510 (Waste management / municipal composting)
- Citation: Adds A.R.S. §§ 49-707, 49-708, and 49-922.01
- Sponsors: Rep. Mariana Sandoval (primary) and multiple cosponsors.
- Legislative actions: Passed both chambers; signed by Governor 6/20/2025; effective 9/1/2025.
Purpose and intent
- Create a municipal composting grant program and establish an imported hazardous waste management regulatory/fee program; fund composting grants via fees and appropriations.
Key provisions
- §49-707: Requires the Director (ADEQ) to adopt rules establishing a municipal composting program that awards grants to municipalities to establish curbside composting collection; rules to set eligibility.
- §49-708: Establishes the Municipal Composting Program Fund (monies appropriated by Legislature and fees deposited from §49-922.01). Fund administered by the Department, exempt from lapsing, and used to administer the imported hazardous waste program, the municipal composting program, and to award grants.
- §49-922.01: Directs the Director to adopt rules for an Imported Hazardous Waste Management Program covering waste that is not classified as hazardous in Arizona but is classified as hazardous in the state where generated. Rules must address transportation, treatment, storage, disposal, and set fees. Fees are deposited into the Municipal Composting Program Fund. This section does not apply to waste generated in Arizona.
Who is affected
- Municipalities seeking to start curbside composting (eligible for grants).
- Out-of-state waste generators/transporters whose waste is considered hazardous where generated but not in Arizona — they will be subject to ADEQ rules and fees for handling imported hazardous waste.
- ADEQ (Department) — responsible for rulemaking, program administration, and managing the fund.
Procedural/timeline aspects
- Law enacted and signed 6/20/2025; effective date: September 1, 2025.
Potential impacts
- New grant funding stream to expand municipal composting.
- Regulatory and fee obligations for management of imported hazardous wastes; fees fund composting program administration and grants.
- Administrative costs for ADEQ to implement rulemaking and program oversight.
