Requires the county clerk to abate a percentage of the property taxes levied on each parcel of property that is owned and used exclusively as a home by a person who is 70 years of age or older or who is a disabled person and who has an annual household income of $30,000 or less. Requires that this abatement must be applied proportionally to the property tax levies of each taxing district that levies a property tax on the property. Creates the Taxing District Non-Pass-Through Act of 2008. Prohibits taxing districts that are affected by the abatement from shifting the cost of this mandate to any other taxpayer by means of increases in property tax rates or through any other methods. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
