Illinois

Illinois had a TEL from FY 2012-2015, but the TEL expired. It applied only to general fund expenditures and was not renewed.

The base year represents the year the hypothetical Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) would have been enacted. Selecting a base year changes how the state’s TABOR is calculated because the annual growth rates of inflation and population change depending on when TABOR is enacted.
