Changes to Non-Resident Library Fees
On
August 14, 2018, the Illinois General Assembly enacted P.A. 100-0875, which amends both the Illinois Local Library Act and the Public Library District Act of 1991.
Under the new law, a nonresident fee will not be applied to a nonresident
who owns or leases property that is taxed for library service. Prior to the
enactment of this law the nonresident fee was only waived for the actual owner
of the taxable property instead of those who also lease property. The
nonresident owner or leaseholder must
present either the most recent tax bill for the property or a copy of
the commercial lease.
The
law also removes the limit of nonresident library privileges to only one
nonresident for each parcel of taxable property. Now, multiple
nonresident owners or lessors at a single property are able to use library
services.
This
Act took effect immediately upon becoming law on August 14, 2018.
