Supporters of the bill argue that even a small amount of funding is crucial for the Property Tax Appeal Board to function properly. They believe that ensuring the board has the necessary resources will help maintain fairness in property tax assessments and appeals, benefiting taxpayers across Illinois.

Critics may argue that allocating only $2 to the Property Tax Appeal Board is symbolic and does not provide sufficient funding to address the board's actual needs. They could contend that this minimal investment reflects a lack of commitment to properly supporting the property tax appeal process, potentially undermining its effectiveness.
