An Illinois state senator says it is time for lawmakers to quit talking and take action on housing affordability and property tax relief.
Metro East Republican Erica Harriss announced a package of bills on Wednesday.
Harriss said Senate Bill 3959 provides a $500 tax credit for first-time home buyers.
Senate Bill 3782 creates the Fairness in Property Tax Foreclosure Task Force.
Harriss said Illinois is the only state in the nation that has yet to comply with a Supreme Court ruling that governments cannot keep excess equity after a tax foreclosure.
Harriss also introduced Senate Bill 3781, amending the Illinois Income Tax Act to make residential property taxes refundable.
