The Illinois House is closing in on passing megaprojects legislation that would allow the Bears to negotiate their property taxes for up to 40 years in Arlington Heights. Amended language includes property tax relief measures and explicit guarantees that the tool can't be used for data centers.

State Rep. Kam Buckner expects the bill to be heard in committee on Wednesday.
