SPRINGFIELD – As Illinois heads toward a more stable fiscal future, State Senator Cristina Castro (D-Elgin) is proud to support a recently unveiled plan to provide tax relief to families across the state.
“After an unprecedented two years, Illinois has remained committed to paying down the bill backlog and saving taxpayers money,” Castro said. “Now, it’s time to put money back into the pockets of families as the economy bounces back.”
The plan, Senate Bill 1150, would directly deliver refund checks valued at $100 per person and $50 per child to state taxpayers making $250,000 individually or $500,000 jointly – sending money to 97% of taxpayers. A household of four could see a $300 check. Taxpayers could also see an additional $300 property tax relief check – a proposal mirrored after Governor JB Pritzker’s budget proposal.
