2 11/28/ BILL DEAD - No Positive Action Taken - Amendatory Veto HB4282 MUNI-TERRITORY DISCONNECTION (BURKE K) Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that the owner of record of territory may have the territory disconnected from the corporate limits of a municipality if it does not contain any territory designated as part of a redevelopment project area or any territory otherwise subject to tax increment financing by the municipality. Effective immediately. RECENT STATUS 11/28/ Both Houses Override Total Veto UNDER-21 TOBACCO BAN FAILS NOTEWORTHY VETO VOTES Illinois lawmakers failed Wednesday to reverse Gov. Bruce Rauner's veto of a bill that banned the sale of tobacco to those younger than 21. The House voted to overturn the "Tobacco 21" veto, but it needed a three-fifths majority of 71 votes to become law. The legislation would have set a minimum age of 21 to buy cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco and nicotine-based products such as e-cigarettes and vaping materials. PEER-TO-PEER CAR RENTAL BUSINESS House Deputy Majority Leader Arthur Turner of Chicago skipped the vote on Rauner's veto of legislation on so-called peer-to-peer car rental apps. It would subject the rental cars to safety rules and tax collection required for rental car companies. The Senate previously voted to overturn the veto two weeks prior Turner, who sponsored the measure, hopes he can negotiate a deal and present new legislation in January. Critics said the programs allow people to make extra cash by renting their cars and shouldn't be required to follow the same rules as companies with large fleets. Greg Scott of the American Car Rental Association said in a statement that he welcomes discussions "to ensure greater consistency, fairness and safety" in the industry.
