Rule 19(b) / Re-referred to Rules Committee
Jul 1, 2026
Summary
The amendment allows any Illinois municipality to become a home‑rule unit if at least two‑thirds of its corporate authorities approve, removing the need for a 25,000‑population threshold or a public referendum. It also lets a home‑rule municipality abandon that status with the same two‑thirds corporate‑authority vote. This shifts the decision from voters to the municipal governing body.
