The Illinois Fair Tax is a proposed amendment to the Illinois state constitution that would change the state income tax system from a flat tax to a graduated income tax. Proponents argue that the proposal would make the Illinois tax code fairer, provide tax relief to the most Illinoisans, boost small businesses, and accelerate job creation 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Capitol Fax.com - Your Illinois News Radar » Fun with numbers )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Businesses need a fairer Illinois income tax - DailyHerald.com )〕 Opponents argue it would open the door to tax hikes that hurt small businesses and drive more job creation to neighboring states. If approved by three-fifths of the state legislature, the proposal will be voted on in a referendum. While it did not pass in 2014, supporters have vowed to bring the proposal back in future years. A Better Illinois was the coalition supported by labor unions, faith and civic leaders and small business owners that pushed for the measure and a possible referendum campaign. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= "A Better Illinois" kickoff events schedule )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Illinois Faith Leaders Host Prayer Vigil, Pledge Support For A ‘Fair' Income Tax | Progress Illinois )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Businesses need a fairer Illinois income tax - DailyHerald.com )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our Coalition | A Better Illinois )〕 ==Legislative history== Under current law, Illinois's state income tax rate in 2015 will be a flat rate of 3.75 percent, a scheduled phase-out of a 2011 temporary tax increase. Illinois lawmakers are wary of extending the increase, as they fear the impact of an extension on Illinois's business climate. State Rep. Naomi Jakobsson, an Urbana Democrat proposed and advanced HJRCA 33, the initial House legislative vehicle for the proposal. The bill contains no tax rate schedule, which led the Urbana-Champaign News-Gazette editorial board to criticize statements by the proposal's advocates. The House Revenue Committee rejected that proposal in March 2014. The Senate companion bill, SJRCA 40, passed the Senate Executive Subcommittee on constitutional amendments. It has advanced to the Senate Executive Committee. The proposal failed to make the deadline to clear the Senate, and was withdrawn for 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Illinois Fair Tax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
