Illinois Statutes Chapter 30. Finance § 805/2. Findings and Purpose

(1) to provide for the collection and periodic publication of information on existing and future State and federal mandates;

(2) to enunciate policies, criteria and procedures to govern any future State-initiated specification of local government services, standards and employment conditions that has the effect of necessitating increased local government expenditures in such a way as to accommodate the constitutional obligations of the State government in addressing problems of State-wide concern, while avoiding the imposition of State standards upon essentially local responsibilities without appropriate reimbursement or other appropriate fiscal participation on the part of the State government; and

(3) to provide for a review of existing mandates and an identification of the nature and magnitude of corrective action needed to produce a consistent and equitable framework of State-local relations regarding mandated services, standards, and expenditures.
