MULTI-COUNTY VET ASSISTANCE

Amends the Military Veterans Assistance Act. Provides that in counties that did not have a Veterans Assistance Commission prior to January 1, 2026, and in which there exists a judicial circuit whose jurisdictional boundaries include multiple counties, veteran service organizations located within any of those counties that are within the judicial circuit's jurisdictional boundaries may come together and create a Jurisdictional Veterans Assistance Commission that shall provide services to veterans and their families. Contains provisions concerning the selection process for Jurisdictional Veterans Assistance Commission superintendents, delegates, and alternates; funding for Jurisdictional Veterans Assistance Commissions; mergers between existing county Veterans Assistance Commissions and Jurisdictional Veterans Assistance Commissions; and other matters. Provides that nothing in the amendatory Act shall be interpreted to restrict any Jurisdictional Veterans Assistance Commission from providing services to veterans and their families who reside outside of those participating counties. Amends the Counties Code. Permits each county that has a population of less than 3,000,000 and that is a participant in a Jurisdictional Veterans Assistance Commission to levy a tax not to exceed .03% of the assessed value annually on all taxable property of the county for the purpose of providing assistance to military veterans and their families. Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Requires a county that has a population of less than 3,000,000 and that is a participant in a Jurisdictional Veterans Assistance Commission to levy, within the time that such levy is authorized to be made, a tax of an amount which, when added to the unobligated balance available for such purpose at the close of the preceding fiscal year, equals .02% of the last known assessed value of the taxable property in the county. Provides that the tax shall be for the purpose of providing assistance to military veterans and their families.
