The Illinois Farmland Assessment Laws: A Case Study of the Political Passage and Implications for School Funding, 1977-1980

Abstract

dc:description

This study examines the policymaking process between March, 1977 and August, 1980 which resulted in the passage of the 1977 farmland assessment law, a major property tax reform. Examining the farmland assessment law as a dependent variable, the study focuses on identifying and analyzing the major political factors responsible for the enactment of the assessment legislation. Additionally, viewing the farmland assessment law as an independent variable, the impact on school state aid allocations and property tax liability shifts for a typical rural Illinois county is analyzed.
