DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference
2023 Legislative Action Program Drafters’ Notes
Introduction
Conference leadership has developed a process streamlining the Conference’s development of positions on
legislation impacting municipalities. The process was vetted and recommended by the Board of Directors and
approved by the full Conference on November 15, 2017. Under the process, bill review and position
development will focus on the Conference’s Legislative Action Program (LAP). As such, the Legislative
Committee, with approval from the Board of Directors, determined that the 2023 LAP will focus on three
legislative priorities which will be included in a concise, one page LAP and accompanied by these drafters’ notes.
Legislative Priorities
The following drafters’ notes provide further information regarding the approved legislative priorities and
identify which legislative topics the Conference will consider when developing positions on legislation impacting
municipalities.
As directed by the Legislative Committee, staff worked to further streamline the Conference’s legislative process
to increase efficiency and effectiveness of the Legislative Action Program. The Conference will work to bring bills
that impact DuPage municipalities to the Committee, with the understanding that staff will prioritize bills that
directly address one of the listed legislative priorities: Preserve Local Authority and Ensure Sustainable Municipal
Budgets.
Legislative Priority: Advocate for Local Authority and Non-Home Rule Parity
Municipal officials, held accountable by the residents who elect them, are best equipped to make local decisions
for the people they represent. Legislation and mandates that preempt local government authority obstruct the
ability to meet resident needs and solve community concerns. Furthermore, non-home rule communities in
Illinois are subject to significant restrictions to local authority, solely based on an arbitrary population threshold.
The Conference will review bills that impact municipal authority and parity of non-home rule communities,
including but not limited to franchising, zoning, permit and licensing, code enforcement, business regulations,
right of ways, and other fundamental responsibilities of local government, as well as the responsibilities of
municipalities as employers.
According to the 2023 Legislative Action Program, the Conference will prioritize legislative action on the
following issues affecting local authority:
¢ Oppose preemptions of municipal authority and burdensome mandates that impede the ability of local
governments to serve their residents and businesses.
e Remove restrictions on utilizing hotel/motel and locally imposed sales tax revenue in non-home rule
municipalities.
e Permit non-home rule municipalities to implement and utilize locally imposed motor fuel taxes (MFT)
consistent with non-home rule municipalities in Cook County.
e Repeal arbitrary restrictions on non-home rule municipal authority, including those related to crime-free
housing programs, eminent domain, police personnel discipline procedures, and environmental regulatory
authority.
e Permit municipalities to enact a 5% Automobile Renting Occupation and Use Tax on second division
vehicles, including trucks rented for the purpose of moving furniture and goods.

DuPage Mayors and Managers Conference
2023 Legislative Action Program Drafters’ Notes
Legislative Priority: Ensure Sustainable Municipal Budgets
As entities funded by local taxpayers, municipal governments have a responsibility to utilize taxpayer money
efficiently and effectively to provide municipal services to the community. Legislation that reduces revenue or
mandates additional expenditures force local governments to find new revenue streams or eliminate essential
services to remain financially sustainable long term. The Conference will review bills that impact the
sustainability of municipal budgets, including but not limited to unfunded mandates, revenue sources such as
the Local Government Distributive Fund, downstate fire and police pensions, municipal operating expenditures,
and locally imposed taxes and fees.
According to the 2023 Legislative Action Program, the Conference will prioritize legislative action on the
following issues affecting municipal budgets:
e Restore the Local Government Distributive Fund to 10% to fund critical community services such as public
safety, infrastructure, and snow removal.
e Address public safety pension funding concerns by permitting municipalities to implement a rolling
amortization period.
e Ease the burden of Freedom of Information Act regulations by extending the response period for non-
commercial requests, allowing electronic records fees, and clarifying the definition of a recurrent
requester.
Legislative Priority: Maintain Public Safety
Ensuring the safety of our communities is the most essential function of local government. Local officials and law
enforcement personnel should be guided by clear policy and have access to the resources they need to protect
our residents and businesses. The Conference will review bills that impact the ability of local governments to
maintain public safety.
According to the 2023 Legislative Action Program, the Conference will prioritize legislative action on the
following issues affecting public safety:
e Protect qualified immunity to ensure local governments are not unduly liable for municipal officials
discharging their duties in accordance with existing policy.
e Add exemptions to disclosure for automatic license plate readers (LPRs) under the Freedom of Information
Act.
e Address provisions in the SAFE-T Act that require clarification or modification to ensure public safety,
specifically regarding pre-trial release and Class B & C misdemeanors.
Advocate for Municipal Interests
In addition to the issues submitted by members during the Legislative Action Program development process, the
Conference will consider issues that impact municipalities that were previously identified as LAP priorities, which
are described below. The Conference will utilize these examples to further guide the bill review process and
ensure that legislation impacting municipalities addresses the needs of DuPage communities.
DMMC will take positions to support legislation that aligns with (or oppose legislation that threatens) the
following issues:
e Oppose preemptions of municipal authority impeding local officials from meeting resident needs &
solving community concerns.

withheld by the state
o Implement a constitutional amendment to remove the current protection on pension benefit
increases, allowing them to be repealed, and reject all future pension sweeteners that affect
either tier of public safety pensions
