Maddy summaryThis bill is a House resolution that expresses the belief that Illinois should not change its tax laws to include retirement income. It directly affects retirees by stating support for keeping their pension and social security earnings free from state income tax. The resolution argues that taxing these funds would hurt people on fixed incomes and discourage them from living in the state. It does not create new laws or change any tax rates but serves only to formally record the House's position on this issue.
