The chief judge of the Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal says a proposal to eliminate the agency is a terrible idea.
The General Assembly created the independent tribunal in 2013 with a purpose of increasing fairness in the tax system and resolving disputes between taxpayers and the Illinois Department of Revenue.
Illinois Independent Tax Tribunal Chief Administrative Judge James Conway said Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2027 would eliminate the tribunal.
Conway said the tribunal’s budget request was less than $700,000.
Illinois Department of Revenue Director David Harris said the governor recommended transferring the tribunal’s responsibilities back to the department of revenue.
