Initiative process availability

See as well: Laws governing local ballot measures in Illinois

Illinois law provides for an advisory (non-binding, no legal result) initiative process on questions of public policy. A binding referendum is required on express matters, such equally tax levies and bonds (Chap ten Election Code, Art. 28). Residents of home-rule counties and cities may change their form of regime or revert to general law governance by initiative. While mostly formal, this process can take some effects on policy. For example, under the general law, city governments face greater restrictions on raising taxes. Thus, switching from domicile-rule to general law tin can help limit tax increases.[2] [3]
