<SynopsisText>     Proposes to amend the Local Government Article of the Illinois Constitution. Requires the State to reimburse units of local government for increased expenses resulting from activities mandated by the General Assembly or State executive action. Exempts mandates requested by a local government or predating the effective date. Makes unfunded mandates unenforceable unless passed by three-fifths of the members elected to each house of the General Assembly and specifically characterized as non-reimbursable. Effective upon being declared adopted.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
