Darren Bailey Advocates for No Tax on Tips Law

LOUISVILLE, IL. — Darren Bailey, former State Senator and candidate for Governor, is urging lawmakers to enact recently introduced legislation to opt the state into the federal “No Tax on Tips” policy.

House Bill 4519 would give hospitality workers the same state tax benefits they currently enjoy on the federal portion of their taxes. It would exempt state taxes on tips up to $25,000.

“It is time for both Democrats and Republicans to act in the best interests of working people,” Bailey said. “Just because Donald Trump pushed this idea is not a reason for JB Pritzker and his allies in the House and the Senate to oppose it. We need to put people first.”

Bailey said he would sign HB 4519 if he were Governor.

“I am committed to making Illinois government work for the people of this state,” Bailey said. “I have released a policy blueprint that prioritizes working families. I want to lower taxes, create jobs and make our state a destination for jobs and opportunities. Illinois is a great state with terrible leaders. I am running to change the script and restore our state.”
