Bill
HB 1846
Illinois HB1846 would modify property tax assessment complaint procedures and deadlines, clarifying review processes and filing rules.
Note on documents provided
- The materials supplied contain multiple, different bills labeled “HB 1846” from different states (a short title about bonds for the City of Byram; an Illinois bill amending the Property Tax Code; and an Arkansas bill creating the “Arkansas 2036 Commission”). These are distinct measures. Below is a clear, separate summary for each item and a note about the inconsistent status information.
Title: Bonds; authorize issuance to assist City of Byram with the city's Barrington Drive Pipe Rehabilitation Project
Status (per Bill Information): Died in Committee
Introduced: January 14, 2025
Subject: Ways and Means
Purpose and intent
- Authorize issuance of bonds to provide funding assistance to the City of Byram for the Barrington Drive Pipe Rehabilitation Project.
Key provisions (based on title only)
- Authorization for issuing bonds (state or local bond issuance authority) to finance or assist financing of a pipe rehabilitation infrastructure project located on Barrington Drive in the City of Byram.
Who would be affected
- City of Byram (recipient/beneficiary of bond funds), potential bondholders, and possibly local or state fiscal accounts if the state is involved in issuance or guarantees.
Status and notes
- No bill text was provided beyond the title. According to the Bill Information, the measure “Died In Committee.” Because substantive provisions (bond amount, repayment source, state vs. local issuance, duration, fiscal impacts) are not included, impacts cannot be quantified here.
Recommendation
- If you want a fuller analysis of this bonds bill, please provide the bill text or fiscal note (dollar amount, repayment source, authorization language, and who issues/guarantees the bonds).
Purpose and intent
- Amend the Illinois Property Tax Code to modify procedures and deadlines for filing assessment complaints and clarify related review procedures.
Key provisions
- Change filing deadline for assessment complaints from 30 calendar days to 60 calendar days after publication of the assessment list (amends 35 ILCS 200/16-25 and 35 ILCS 200/16-55).
- Clarifies board of review powers to increase/reduce assessments, include compulsory sales in review, and consider arm’s-length nature of sales.
- Clarifies attorney representation procedures (notices to attorney; proof of authority; dismissal procedures).
- Establishes rules for electronic filing and treatment of filings by postmark or carrier tracking date.
- Sets deadlines for evidence exchange when required by board rules (e.g., assessor/intervenor evidence five days before hearing).
- Process and notice requirements when changes sought exceed certain valuation thresholds ($100,000).
Who would be affected
- Taxpayers filing assessment complaints, attorneys representing taxpayers, county assessors and chief county assessment officers, boards of review, and taxing districts (particularly when large valuation changes are sought).
Status
- The supplied legislative timeline includes “Died In Committee” (2025-02-26). If that reflects this measure, it did not advance. If you need confirmation of final status, indicate the legislative body (state) so I can verify.
Purpose and intent
- Create the Arkansas 2036 Commission to plan and promote statewide commemorative activities for Arkansas’s 200th birthday and related heritage/tourism efforts.
Key provisions
- Establishes an 8-member commission:
- Director of the Division of Arkansas Heritage (or designee) — serves as chair.
- Secretary of the Department of Education (or designee).
- Two members appointed by the Speaker of the House.
- Two members appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
- Two members appointed by the Governor.
- Members serve at the pleasure of the appointing entity; terms expire December 31, 2036.
- Members serve without compensation.
- Division of Arkansas Heritage to provide staff support.
- Commission to promote programs/projects commemorating Arkansas’s bicentennial, explore a commemorative landmark, and assist Division of Arkansas Heritage.
- The commission expires on December 31, 2036.
Who would be affected
- State agencies involved in heritage and education, tourism stakeholders, and communities participating in bicentennial programming.
Status (from provided legislative actions)
- The Arkansas legislative history in the materials shows passage through both chambers and a notation: “Notification that HB1846 is now Act 946” (dates in April 2025). That indicates enactment in Arkansas (became Act 946). If you need confirmation (e.g., effective date, codification), I can verify against state records.
If you want, I can:
- Verify and reconcile the final status of each variant of HB1846 with the appropriate state legislative database, or
- Produce a focused fiscal and legal impact analysis for whichever specific HB1846 you specify (please indicate which state/version and provide the full text or fiscal note).
