Bill Summary · HB 2393

Legislative bill overview

HB 2393 modifies revenue mechanisms for Illinois Forest Preserve Districts. Based on recent legislative activity, the bill has undergone multiple amendments in the House, suggesting substantive revisions to its funding or operational provisions. The specific revenue changes remain under committee review.

Why is this important

Forest Preserve Districts manage critical public land and recreational resources across Illinois counties. Changes to their revenue structure directly affect their operational capacity for land maintenance, public access, and conservation programs. Revenue modifications can impact both local property tax burdens and service quality.

Potential points of contention

  • Funding source allocation – Whether revenue comes from property taxes, user fees, or other mechanisms affects different stakeholder groups
  • District autonomy vs. state control – How much discretion local Forest Preserve Districts retain over new revenue tools
  • Equity concerns – Whether revenue changes disproportionately affect lower-income communities or rural versus urban districts
